Aston Villa are chasing promotion back to the Premier League, and they'll hope new loan signing Tammy Abraham will help them secure it after announcing his loan move from Chelsea.
As seen in the club's Twitter post below, they unveiled the 20-year-old on Friday evening ahead of the deadline, confirming that he will spend the rest of the season at Villa Park.
With his opportunities to feature at Stamford Bridge scarce, another loan move is arguably the best decision for Abraham, having spent previous stints with Bristol City and Swansea City over the last two seasons.
His temporary stop with the former was arguably what convinced Villa to make their move though, as he bagged 26 goals in 48 games to prove that he can deliver in the Championship.
It's still arguably a gamble though given his age and inexperience to bank on him to score the goals to fire them up the table, and so time will tell if Villa emerge as the winners from the deal. However, they've taken the punt and could see a great return on their investment in the loanee, just like you could with a spin on online slots for a chance to win big.
Nevertheless, Bruce will surely welcome his addition to his squad as he searched for additional firepower to help ensure Villa have the goals in the team to launch a genuine assault for promotion.
The season has started well for the club barring their League Cup exit to Burton Albion, as they remain unbeaten in the Championship after five games having won two and drawn three.
Signing players like Yannick Bolasie, Anwar El Ghazi and Abraham in this transfer window will surely help them achieve their objective this season, adding to the likes of Jonathan Kodjia and Jack Grealish who have been instrumental thus far.
However, time will tell if Abraham can get back amongst the goals on a regular basis again, and if it's enough to perhaps prove his worth to Maurizio Sarri for next season as he may well hope that he still has a long-term future at Chelsea despite his ongoing loan exits each season.


The Times' pro football writer Mike Bires is blogging the activity of the Steelers on the second day of the NFL draft.
10:40 p.m. -- Offensive coordinator Todd Haley on his two new weapons (Le'Veon Bell and Markus Wheaton): "I feel good. It keeps a smile on my face."
10:38 p.m. -- Todd Haley said that Markus Wheaton is more like Antonio Brown than Mike Wallace.
10:36 p.m. -- Todd Haley on Markus Wheaton: "He is a fast guy, make no mistake about it. He's a guy who can stretch the field."
10:25 p.m. -- Markus Wheaton only ran a 4.45 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in February. But he claims�he can run the 40 in 4.3 seconds. So he's in the Mike Wallace range when it comes to speed.
10:20 p.m. -- Markus Wheaton, via teleconference, on getting picked by the Steelers: "It's a great organization. They're always good. Ben (Roethlisberger) is a great quarterback. I'm excited to get on the field with those guys and show them what I can do."
7:58 p.m. -- Bell averaged 137.92 yards per game last season.
7:51 p.m. -- Haley just said Le'Veon Bell is only 20 years old. But he's really 21.
7:45 p.m. -- Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley now addessing the media on the Bell pick.
7:43 p.m. -- Steelers take Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell.
7:41 p.m. -- Cowboys just took their pick at No. 47 overall. Steelers up next. Former Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, who's here doing radio work, says Steelers should draft a wide receiver with this pick.
7:40 p.m. -- But remember, the Steelers did sign LaRod Stephens-Howling earlier today.
7:34 p.m. -- Bills just made their second-round pick (No. 46 overall). Steelers are just two picks away.
7:08 p.m. -- West Virginia quarterback�Geno Smith has finally been�picked. Snubbed in the first round, Smith was chosen by the Jets. And he was back at Radio City Music Hall in New York City today�even though he said last night he was going home.
6:38 p.m. -- Alright! The second round is underway. The Jacksonville Jaguars have made their pick. Steelers are 15 picks away.
6:05 p.m. -- Just had a chat with the great Richard Mann. He's the veteran NFL wide receivers coach from Aliquippa. Mann,�who's 65, is�in his first year with the Steelers.
5:50 p.m. -- As opposed to Thursday for Day 1 of the draft, it's real quiet today here in the media room at Steelers' headquarters. There's only a few reporters who've arrived so far.
5:44 p.m. -- Earlier today I tweeted that it appears Jarvin Jones, the ex-Georgia linebacker, will wear jersey No. 91 with the Steelers. He wore No. 29 in�college.
5:34 p.m. -- Don't get too excited about the new running back. He's LaRod Stephens-Howling, who played�college football at Pitt. LaRod was a seventh-round draft pick of the AZ Cardinals in 2009. In four years with the Cardinals, he rushed for 652 yards and 11 TDs.

Photo credit: ATR
Crimean Tatar channel ATR may suspend broadcasting until May 18 due to lack of funding, as Ukrayinska Pravda reported referring to the deputy CEO of the channel Aider Mudzhabaev.
He reminded that the head of state had promised to resolve the issue of financing the TV channel on February 26.
"Government meetings took place and the process seemed to get underway. We felt that the funding would be started and we could clear all the debts. But then the difficulties began, the Ministry of Culture forced us to recast all papers. Tomorrow (April 29 - Ed. ),it will be the fourth government's meeting, where they are unable to start financing the broadcaster, "- he said.
At the same time, Mudzhabaev added that the channel has been operating for a several last months solely because of its own resource and donations of people from the occupied Crimea.
"We have just over 10% left of the team. We do not produce our own product, we only work to inform people on the peninsula about the coronavirus," he said.
He noted that if they do not open funding, the channel will be forced to close in early May.
"There is now a great danger that by the day of the Crimean Tatars Genocide Victims ATR will no longer be able to broadcast," he said.
As IMI reported on February 26, President Zelensky assured that ATR would not lose state support. "I want to assure that the ATR channel will continue its work, and no one will deprive them of state support. This issue will be resolved in the near future," the president said at the Age of Crimea forum in Kyiv on Wednesday.
On February 24th, ATR, has submitted a plea to the European Parliament and European Commission asking the institutions for financial support as it faces imminent closure due to lack of funding.
As IMI reported,on February 10 the Crimean Tatar channel ATR its financing from the state budget was suspended and the broadcaster was under threat of closure. Some of these funds were transferred to the ATR account, but it has been blocked by the Treasury.
Due to the blocking of funds, ATR has launched the #SaveATR Marathon: they broadcast programs without presenters and guests.
On February 11, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports of Ukraine Volodymyr Borodyanskyi said his department was to settle the issue of under-financing of ATR channel.
Earlier this month, the ATR owner Lenur Islamov told that because of underfunding, ATR TV channel has reduced 45% of its staff. About 40 persons have been fired, journalists, film directors and others. News editions have been also cut and live broadcasts have been suspended. Islamov added that the channel was on the verge of closing.
At the beginning of the year, the private Crimean Tatar TV channel ATR was on the verge of closing due to the suspension of financial support from the state budget. In the second half of 2019, ATR received from the state 15 million UAH ($617 thousand). ATR has been receiving financial support from the state budget since 2016 through the budget program of resettlement and arrangement of Crimean Tatars and persons of other nationalities deported from the territory of Ukraine.

Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was intended initially to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history of places along the route, but the humorous elements eventually took over, to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages now seem like an unnecessary distraction to the essentially comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers. The jokes seem fresh and witty even today.

NTPC has installed India's largest floating solar photovoltaic (PV) plant at Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Plant (RGCCPP) at Kayamkulam in Kerala.
This floating platform has been indigenously developed by NETRA (NTPC Energy Technology Research Alliance), the R&D arm of NTPC, in collaboration with Central Institute of Plastic Engineering & Technology (CIPET), Chennai and patent has been applied, according to the statement.
The system was installed by Swelect Energy Systems Ltd, Chennai with support from NETRA and NTPC Kayamkulam station in a short span of 22 days.
Such systems are fast emerging as an alternative to conventional ground mounted PV systems which are land intensive, it said.
It has various benefits like conserving water through reduction of evaporation, increased generation due to cooling effect on the panels, reduced installation time etc and could be installed on saline water environment.
Installation potential of such type of systems in India is huge because of abundance of water bodies, within NTPC, the potential is about 800 MWp in various reservoirs in existing stations. Particularly in Kerala, due to availability of water bodies and lack of presence of enough land, this type of system has a great potential, it said.
NTPC has already started working on scaling up such type of system for MW scale installation, it added.
1. The floating solar system had come up quite sometime back. The article makes it sound as if this has happened at the time this post was published.
2. The system looks nothing like this image. At least you should call it representative image.

New York Knicks News Mix, 8/1/17: Carmelo Anthony Not Interested In Cavs
Chip Murphy
NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 13: Carmelo Anthony #7 of the New York Knicks tries to get around LeBron James #23 of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the fourth quarter at Madison Square Garden on November 13, 2015 in New York City. The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the New York Knicks 90-84. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony has no interest in going to Cleveland after the Kyrie Irving drama started.
There's a big reason the New York Knicks are finding it so difficult to trade Carmelo Anthony. The ten-time All-Star reportedly only wants to go to one team. Now that they have Chris Paul, it's the Houston Rockets.
According to Marc Berman of The New York Post, Anthony has even crossed the Cleveland Cavaliers off of his list. After the drama surrounding Kyrie Irving, Anthony has legitimately moved on to just one squad.
CLICK HERE FOR ESNY's KNICKS TEAM CENTER
A potentially tenuous reunion with former head coach Mike D'Antoni isn't enough to keep Anthony away from the Rockets.
Speaking of D'Antoni, his brother Dan had something to say about new Knicks point guard Ramon Sessions.
Per Marc Berman, Dan D'Antoni lobbied for the Phoenix Suns to draft Sessions when his brother was head coach back in 2007 and again when his brother was head coach of the Knicks.
"We were trying to get him with the Knicks back then,'' D'Antoni told The Post. "We were trying to establish that [speed-ball] offense in New York. And when [he] came out in the draft, we [Phoenix] had the 29th pick. I told Phoenix they ought to take him, he'd be in the league a long time and he'd run our offense better than a lot of people. They didn't do it.
The current head coach of the Marshall Thundering Herd continued with a scouting report for the 31-year-old point guard.
"Ramon gives the ball up, he gets it to the right spot first but he's capable of taking it to the basket,'' D'Antoni said. "But he spreads the ball around and keeps the flow. The coach is going to enjoy him on the team. He's very good at spreading the floor.''
According to D'Antoni, the Knicks got a "great get" with Sessions.
"He's a very knowledgeable basketball player who understands,'' Dan D'Antoni said. "He'll be a great fit, a great pick-and-roll guy and keeping the floor spread and delivering pass in corners through penetration. And he knows how to throw the hockey assist, to keep the offense moving. He's good at that. They got a great get.''

Q: Modifying my .htaccess file I have a Magento store and I have been trying to figure out why I've lost most of my traffic in the past few months.  I recently discovered that all categories not preceded by www were being redirected to the home page, overruling other redirects.
On my .htacces, I have made the change from:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.domain.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$
  http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

to

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$
  http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

I am not an expert in this area and wanted to make sure this change won't screw something else up.
Also could this be a reason why I lost all my traffic?  And would changing this help me get my traffic back?
Thanks for any suggestions!

A: What are you trying to achieve with these rules? have you tested if they maybe redirecting all of your HTTPS traffic into the non secure HTTP pages?
If you are trying to redirect HTTPS to HTTP on the home page, you should use a different rule. If you are trying to redirect non 'www' to the 'www' subdomain it is also a different ruleset. See below:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

As for your question: it may have indeed affected your traffic but also have in mind that Google released a new algorithm that have affected many sites either way. Your may have suffered in the negative way. The new algorithm was released on 1/1/2014. Look in your webmaster tools you will see this mark on their reports.

Object Class: Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-356 are to be kept continuously frozen in Long Term Biological Storage Unit 73A at Site-23. Staff are advised that SCP-356 has been a person of interest to the governments of the United States, the Russian Federation, and the Republic of Azerbaijan since 1986. As such, liaisons to the Foundation serving with these nations or affiliated entities are to be kept unaware of SCP-356's containment in 1986 and death in 1987.
Update: Except for approved research purposes, no electronic devices capable of receiving telephone calls are to be brought within 10 m of SCP-356.
Description: SCP-356 is a deceased 62-year-old male human of Eurasian descent, measuring 1.76 m tall and weighing 81.5 kg. When SCP-356 is within approximately 3 m of any device capable of receiving a telephone call (such as traditional land-based telephones, cellular phones, or computer terminals with software enabling telephony), that device will begin receiving a constant stream of calls. Left unanswered, these calls will continue for an indefinite period, only ceasing when answered, and resuming once the speaker hangs up. In all observed cases, attempts to track the source of telephone calls related to the presence of SCP-356 have all identified the device receiving the calls itself as the origination point.
When telephone calls prompted by the presence of SCP-356 are answered, an unknown entity (SCP-356-A) speaking in a voice exactly matching that of SCP-356 will answer. Left to speak on its own, SCP-356-A will talk about general information regarding SCP-356, mostly focused on work history and professional relationships. SCP-356-A will also describe what it considers to be the mental state of SCP-356, and will sometimes state what it claims SCP-356 is thinking about1. SCP-356-A has demonstrated a tendency to gravitate to subjects that SCP-356 finds uncomfortable or distressing.
SCP-356 was recovered along with 12 other persons, 12,348 pages of files, 3 computers and 115 hours of video recordings after the 04/01/1986 Foundation raid on a CIA safehouse in ██████████████████ as part of Operation CATWALK. Including SCP-356, █ objects recovered from this operation later received SCP classification.

Experiment Log 356-1: Listing of SCP-356 Phenomena, 1986-87
Over a period of 11 months, a series of experiments documenting anomalous phenomena related to SCP-356 were conducted by research staff. In each instance, a standard, land-line telephone terminal in an observation chamber was activated in the presence of SCP-356. All conversations took place using speaker functionality. Transcripts have been translated by staff from Azerbaijani to English for the purposes of this file.
Experiment: E356.11A
Summary: Upon opening of telephone line following 137 unanswered calls, a voice exactly matching that of SCP-356 is heard on the line. No attempt at conversation is initiated. SCP-356-A states background information on SCP-356 such as biometric data, known associates, and a detailed history of SCP-356's record as an operative in the Azerbaijan SSR division of the Soviet KGB. This information is later verified to be completely accurate.
Selected Transcript:
SCP-356-A: "Our ████ joined up with his current handlers in Baku in the fall of 1976, and was assigned publicly as an adjunct at the Turkish Embassy. But of course that wasn't really the purpose of any of it. NATO and the Turks weren't privy to what was happening under the cover of the refinery. Only Kolya at the directorate on our side, and the Americans. Isn't that right, ████?"
Experiment: E356.18G
Summary: Researchers answer phone call, then proceed to ask SCP-356 details of the operations of Frontier Energy Consulting Ltd., a known (at the time of the experiment) KGB front company operating in Baku. SCP-356-A responds with information describing SCP-356's role in overseeing Frontier Energy activities, which primarily consisted of industrial espionage. Information is later verified to be accurate.
Researcher Singh: Please describe the operation you were responsible for in Baku.
SCP-356: [No response]
SCP-356-A: You're never going to accomplish anything that way. Hey, ████. What should we talk about? Hm? We could talk about all those meetings near the docks, but I don't think that's what the agent here is referring to. Or perhaps the reason for that 21 month stretch in Indigirka? There's a tale to tell.
SCP-356-A: Ohhh, is that what's troubling you? You have no idea why they're asking, do you? Is that so much worse than last time? I don't see any hammers or car batteries in here, do you? When do you think they'll show their hand? If they could take you from them, what must they have up their sleeve? I'd be nervous too. Ha. It's a joke. [pause] So no description for our friends of how you set up that company to get a look inside the Absheron refinery? How you labored for months assembling counterfeit inspection equipment that would hide the real equipment? What you did with the men that were sent to poke around the offices? Maybe that should be what we did. I can never tell.
Experiment: E356.26K
Summary: Researchers answer phone calls engendered by the presence of SCP-356 and attempt to question SCP-356-A about its nature and origins. Results inconclusive, and information is unverifiable as SCP-356 is either incapable or unwilling to provide information concerning SCP-356-A.
Researcher Singh: Are you the same individual as SCP-356?
SCP-356-A: What's a voice on the telephone? Your voice, is it you? If all you were to someone was a distant presence at the end of a line somewhere, can they be said to have known you? Met you? Look at me, talking when I don't know things.
Researcher Singh: When did you first come into existence?
SCP-356-A: [sighs] These are quite silly, you know. Do you remember being born? Maybe you should try asking ████, he might have some pictures somewhere. He'll probably tell you where they're stashed if you ask him when he's in a box. He has a strained relationship with tight, confined spaces.
Researcher Singh: So you have no information on this subject?
SCP-356-A: I can certainly tell you ████ and I were formally introduced by our mutual friends. But then you already know that. You came knocking on their door.
[TRANSCRIPT SECTION EXPUNGED]
Researcher Singh: Can you make contact independent of SCP-356?
SCP-356-A: You'd like to know that, wouldn't you? Ask ████. Oh wait, you did already. I'd help more, but you know, I help so much already. You'll have to do at least a little work here.
+ LEVEL 4 AUTHORIZATION EYES ONLY
███████████████. █████████.
Evidence gathered in the aftermath of the CATWALK action suggests that the unconventional HUMINT program of which SCP-356 was a part has been adopted in other areas of the United States military and intelligence apparatus. Further investigation is ██████████████████████████████.
████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.
Current recommendation is to implement full denial-of-resources protocols for all personnel who are likely to come into contact with United States government entities in future missions, especially those involved in the forthcoming Project ███████████.
Addendum 356-1: On 08/09/1987, SCP-356 suffered an acute myocardial infarction leading to cardiac arrest and heart failure. Foundation medical staff were unable to revive SCP-356, resulting in its clinical death later that day. SCP-356 reclassified from "Euclid" to "Neutralized" effective 08/11/1987.
Addendum 356-2: On 04/15/2009, a maintenance worker in Long Term Biological Storage Unit 73A reported that their personal cellular phone was receiving repeated, unremitting calls from an unknown source.
After reviewing case histories, research staff traced the cause of this phenomenon to the remains of SCP-356. Researchers answered the phone for documentation purposes, however no voice was discernible on the line. Background noises consistent with significant wind or other air movement were present, as well as static interference. After ending the phone call, the cellular phone continued receiving calls of a similar nature until it was removed from Long Term Biological Storage Unit 73A.
Request for additional experimentation and reclassification of object class pending.
1. While the claims SCP-356-A makes in this regard are inherently unverifiable, measured stress indicators in SCP-356 support the hypothesis that SCP-356-A has some degree of insight into the subject's mind.

Why Most Americans Can Buy AR-15s Before They Can Have Their First Beer
OREM, UT - FEBRUARY 15: Semi-automatic AR-15's are for sale at Good Guys Guns & Range on February 15, 2018 in Orem, Utah. An AR-15 was used in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. (Photo by George Frey/Getty Images)
This week's mass shooting at a Florida high school, where a lone gunman opened fire on students and staff, killing 17 and injuring 15, has distressingly similar details in the profile of the suspect and his weapon. A 19-year-old former student with a history of disciplinary issues had gotten his hands on an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle capable of firing highly lethal rounds in rapid succession. And he'd done so completely legally.
Under federal law, and in almost every state, the minimum age for purchasing a long gun from a licensed dealer is 18. This category of firearms encompasses shotguns and rifles, including the assault-style weapons that have become popular in mass shootings. Federal law provides no minimum age for the possession of long guns, and in some states, it's legal for children younger than 18 to own these weapons as long as they have parental consent.
For handguns, the age limit increases to 21 under federal law. Just two states, Hawaii and Illinois, have laws specifically raising the minimum purchase age for long guns to 21, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
This system gives millions of young Americans the right to buy the deadliest civilian weaponry three years before they can legally drink alcohol. It dates back to the Gun Control Act of 1968. Although civilian firepower has changed dramatically over the past half-century, these distinctions have not.
"Back in the day, you had a lower gun age for rifles because they were often used for hunting," said Adam Winkler, a professor of constitutional law at the UCLA School of Law. "Young men would have valid reasons for hunting, and they could even have it for self defense, but it was primarily for recreation."
Back then, many popular civilian rifles were bolt-action, or lever-action. They typically featured lower-capacity magazines, and required the shooter to manually chamber each round, firing more slowly than modern semi-automatic weapons like the AR-15, the now-popular civilian rifle platform modeled off military-issue weapons of the past and present.
In this technological landscape, lawmakers in the 1960s regarded handguns as a much bigger threat in the hands of young people, who can tend to be more erratic and prone to violence.
"This all stems from the idea that handguns were usually weapons of self-defense and criminal misuse, and neither of those two things were seemingly appropriate for most kids." said Winkler. "So, the idea was that because handguns were thought to be more dangerous than long guns, that they had stricter rules."
Handguns are still used in the majority of gun violence today. Handguns were involved in about 65 percent of the 11,000 gun homicides recorded by the FBI in 2016. Rifles were used in just 374 of those slayings, though the murder weapon wasn't specified in 3,077 cases, likely due to inconsistent reporting by law enforcement agencies.
Although shootings involving military-style rifles may be aberrations in the steady stream of daily U.S. gun violence, it's becoming increasingly clear that they can inflict mass casualties in the wrong hands. Yet state and federal regulations on the purchase of handguns often don't extend to long guns. For example, gun stores must report to law enforcement any sale of multiple handguns to a single buyer over a five-day period. This requirement doesn't exist for long guns. Many states also have waiting periods for handgun purchases, which don't extend to long guns. And state open-carry laws regarding the public display of firearms tend to be far more permissive toward long guns than handguns.
This discrepancy makes some gun violence prevention groups uneasy.
"These highly lethal weapons really have no other purpose other than to kill people fast and efficiently, and to kill as many people as possible," said Laura Cutilletta, legal director of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. "Handguns may be more typically used in crime, but these types of assault weapons can actually do more damage."
The firearms industry doesn't share this concern. Over the past decade, gun groups have rebranded assault-style rifles as "modern sporting rifles" in an attempt to highlight their increasing popularity for recreational shooting. In 2012, there were an estimated 20 million to 30 million of these weapons in civilian hands, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry's trade group. Gun companies have sold millions each year since then, and they've become a significant part of the business.
"The idea of marketing military-style long guns to civilians is something that came about in more recent decades, because the gun industry needed a new way to make money," said Cutilletta. "People aren't hunting as much as they did in the past, so this is something they can market to people. It's marketed as a bit of a toy, something that you might not hunt with, but that you take to the range."
There have been a number of shootings and failed plots involving people under the age of 21 who have legally purchased their weapons, including both assault-style rifles and shotguns. In 2016, a 19-year-old in Washington state opened fire at a house party with his legally purchased AR-style rifle, killing three people, including his ex-girlfriend, and injuring one.
Winkler said it's time to institute a uniform gun age nationally for all types of firearms. He also advocates raising the minimum age to buy or possess a firearm without supervision to 25. He noted that people younger than that are responsible for a disproportionate amount of U.S. gun violence, including almost half of all gun homicides.
Winkler suggested following the example of drinking laws, which have led to national incentives encouraging states to implement a 21-year-old limit. But he's not optimistic about that effort being replicated with firearms, largely because lobbyists from the National Rifle Association and other groups have a stranglehold on the gun debate.
"You don't have a similar effort in the gun world, and let's face it, you're not going to have a serious effort in the gun world," said Winkler. "The NRA is not interested in new gun control laws."

If you are going to present your work in a rendered way, textures are fundamental. Putting textures on your models helps your clients to understand what materials you are planning. Textures have a lot of power, but if you haven't created textures before you might find this power confusing. These sessions focus on understanding the basics of textures rather than focusing on some really cool or powerful tricks. There are four basic parts to textures (color, reflectivity, transparency and bump), so in the sessions we try to look at these parts individually and at the end of the session bringing all of them together to create a texture.

life's little treasures: Another beautiful wedding weekend!
This Friday July 18th Rene's (my husband) cousin Tessa, married her sweetheart of eight years, Mike Pascoe. The wedding and reception took place at the Bay of Quinte Counrty club, here in Belleville. This is very fitting as Mike is a BIG TIME golfer and I have heard, a very good one at that! Their colours were chocolate brown and green, great combination! The bridesmaid dressed in adorable lace overlay brown dresses and the groomsmen adorned green button down shirts with light brown dress pants. Tessa's flowers were green spider mumms which is a little funny because Tessa is unbelievably afraid of spiders! It was an evening ceremony and cocktail reception. Tessa is a junk food fanatic so she had a Ben and Jerry's ice cream buffet and a candy bar. Great choice in my books! I think the highlight of the night, other than the wedding itself, was the first dance. Mike and Tess started out with a traditional dance then they broke into a "Rock the Reception"dance. This is when the music switches to some more hip tones and the bride and groom do a choreographed dance routine including the famous "sprinkler", shopping cart, and kung fo fighting to name a few. It was priceless! They did a fantastic job! Did I mention that Tess was a drama teacher! Very fitting for her!
It was a very anjoyable evening!

The call for the IJHCS special issue on the workshop topic is now open!
As computer interfaces merges with our environments and virtually become invisible, new concepts for human-computer interaction have to be developed. Instead of a single screen-based user interface (UI), humans will interact with a multitude of devices that are distributed and interconnected, and thus the design space for these UIs become much larger than with conventional computers. We aim to develop an understanding of how distributed and disappearing UIs in ubiquitous computing can be designed and created, and also to consider the impact they will have on people's everyday life.
We will also address privacy, design, aesthetics and expressions, trying to grasp the possible social impact of such systems.
We hope to bring together researchers and practitioners who are concerned with design, development, and implementation of novel interfaces for mobile devices and environment-based appliances, as well as social issues emerging from their use.
Participants will be selected based on their submissions, either a position paper (2 pages) describing their interest and experience in the field, or an extended abstract (5 pages) describing ongoing research. We expect participants to search for a common understanding of user interfaces in ubiquitous computing and we aim to define a research agenda in this field.

They're back: Nets 'Big 3' top Bulls, eye playoffs
2yMalika Andrews
Finally back together, Brooklyn Nets' Big Three take down Chicago Bulls, eye postseason run

NEW YORK -- As the NBA regular season winds down and the playoff picture continues to take clearer shape, the Nets' Big Three of James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were able to play together for just the eighth time this season on Saturday afternoon. After a slow start, the Nets defeated the Bulls 105-91 and are one step closer to securing the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
"I think our mentality," Harden said after the game, "is that it's winning time. At this point, it's whatever it takes."
For the first time since Feb. 13, Harden, Durant and Irving all started together -- alongside Blake Griffin and Bruce Brown. Harden finished with five points, five rebounds and seven assists. Durant added 12 points, shot 4-of-17 from the field and had nine rebounds and six assists. Irving led the Nets with 22 points and two rebounds in 30 minutes of play.
Durant said that he didn't think it was challenging for him to find a rhythm with Harden and Irving.
"We've all been playing the game for a while, so I feel like we can adjust and adapt as time goes on," Durant said. "Injuries kept us away from playing with each other, but mentally, we were always locked in and trying to find different ways to play. Our voices were loud on the bench when we were injured. Guys always talking in the film room.
"Guys are just actually playing minutes now. But we always been in constant communication with each other and trying to figure out the best way to play."
At first, it took the Nets a beat to figure out that best way to play. Even with the Nets' Big Three on the floor, the Bulls jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter.
Irving -- who declined to answer questions about the game, instead focusing on discussing the violence between Israel and Palestine -- kept the team afloat, rattling off 13 points in the first quarter. The Nets were able to build a 10-point lead by halftime.
"We woke up," Harden said. "It was a 1 o'clock game. We're going to need that confidence from every guy tomorrow and then going into the postseason."
With the win over the Bulls, the Nets sit as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, with the Philadelphia 76ers having already clinched the No. 1 seed. The Nets will now watch to see what happens between the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.
A Milwaukee loss would clinch the No. 2 seed for the Nets. A Bucks win would force the Nets to need to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night to secure the No. 2 seed. The outcome of Saturday night's Heat-Bucks game not only affects seeding, it also impacts who the Nets might make available to play Sunday against the Cavaliers.
Durant said that while he expects to play Sunday, the outcome of the Bucks game might affect that.
"We want to finish the season off, so I'm sure we're all looking at that game and seeing what happens," Durant said. "Just for rhythm and just to get back on the court again, I want to play. But we'll see what happens tonight."
Steve Nash added that he will be keeping an eye on the game between the Bucks and the Heat, but added that the Nets are vying for the second seed.
"We just have one game to win," Nash said. "We control our own destiny as far as seedings go. If we can win that game, it's much better being the second seed. It's a little advantage we can create."


Investing in land is one of the most important decisions you can ever make. Land appreciates in value and it's a durable investment. If you are, therefore, thinking about owning a piece of land in Australia, then you've considered the right place. Australia is massive, and you'll never go wrong with investing here. It has the most beautiful scenic places, the weather is great, and the people are as friendly as they can get, not forgetting the amazing kangaroos while at it. Australia has this and more to offer in all matters land.
Let's now look at the top 4 locations to own land in Australia.
This is the capital of Western Australia and has all your amenities close-by. Perth is a relaxed city, unlike many busy cities around the world. If you have ever been to other places such as Sydney and Bali, then you get the idea. This is also a part of the beachside, perfect for all your seaside activities. If you want to find some beachfront land to invest in yourself, this page (New Land Estate for Sale close to Perth CBD) has some good options to choose from. In addition to having plenty of activities you can engage in, most of Perth neighborhoods are surrounded with lots of amenities, attractions, shopping malls, restaurants, and much more. The transport network in Perth will never fail you.
The Sunshine Coast is another great location to consider when buying land in Australia. Do you want to ever wake up and feel the cool ocean breeze, bedazzled by the magnificent gorgeous beaches? If yes, then this coastal strip is your best choice. It has some of the world's most famous sand dunes, terrific for surfing and is well known for the friendliest neighborhoods. This location once had a bad rap, the real estate was in bad shape, but it's picking up the pace and is on the rebound.
If you are in love with architectural beauty, then this is the best place for you to buy land in Australia. It's home to the most beautiful Victorian homes. These homes give you an idea of what your future home may look like. It features fine detailed finished homes needless to say, very close to the beach. The antique homes are also very close to the city, meaning that you can still enjoy city life and still have your connection with the suburbs.
Despite having hosted the 2018 commonwealth games, Gold Coast has many other features that put it out there on the world map. Gold cost is 57 kms of a stunning coastline that is bordered by the most beautiful hinterland. It features low priced properties and has a promising tourist returning rate than any other part of Australia. The Australian government promises that nearly 5,000 new facilities will be opened in this fine location. New hospitals will be built, better transport, other facilities, and water. This means that in the near future land will have appreciated in price in Gold Coast. This means that if you intend to own land in Gold Coast, the best time to buy is now!
Are you looking for dirt cheap land just two hours from Australia's big cities? Then this is the place for you. This is the ideal place if you don't like a busy city life. It boasts of electrical connection, a creek, and two dams. The roads are weathered and are just a 90 minutes' drive from Brisbane.
There you go, don't waste the available opportunities. They say second chances only appear once in a lifetime. With a little research and the guidance of a professional real estate company, you can easily own land in Australia in the above locations.

We are less than five years from the next decade and everything that could be posed for technology's influence on the 2020s is fair game to be pitched. From driver-less automobiles, to Artificial Intelligence (AI) as school teachers, we tend to dream a lot bigger than what actually happens – while also underestimating what impacts smaller ripples might incur.
This is as true for churches as it is for business and technological advancements.
What has been most clear the past few years now that Facebook, Twitter, and others have seemingly run close to saturation points, is that people still want and appreciate direct contact from their own (self-curated) social networks. This appeal has given rise to the use of messaging-centric software, and the addition of messaging features into other portal-like software. Some might also think of conversational interfaces as part of this movement. It's similar, but mainly from the concept that the messaging interface can be mediated by both person and bot.
For church technology that has by next decade matured into a suitable community and payment portal, the step will be to get outside of the centralized approach to one that's more driven by the networks community members create themselves. Non-English speaking groups will see this arise as the preferred method of connection faster than the other. And the best successes by churches with messaging will come when they start applying similar presence approaches that we see now with brands on WeChat and Facebook Messenger.
This past winter when attending the Urbana Conference, it was pleasing to see many missions agencies experimenting with Virtual Reality (VR) headsets (usually the Samsung Gear VR, but there were a few others) in order to bring the experience of being in a missionary context to the conference floor. This kind of experience us intimately approach will become a part of the media outreach and in-reach activities of many churches. The cost of creating these experiences will drop significantly, however the bigger gains will come when authoring tools are made to be used in VR and Artificial Reality (AR) environments. It will be with this solid footing that creatives will be able to augment the broadcast message with an experiential moment.
Many areas about the next decade in tech can be spoken about easily. I think wearables are not such an easy pointer. Yes, it's already normal to see churches co-laboring with community members who use wearables for personal goals. What is yet to be seen outside of niche fitness groups is the use of wearables to point towards other healthful practices. Nevertheless, as devices and services move beyond steps and calorie counts to quality of movement, meditation, and actionable behavior changes.
I do think that towards the end of the decade we will see implanted wearables rechallenge the historical discussion on idols and sacramentals. What's not clear is if there will be some clarity towards how other cultural challenges to community life will allow for those discussions to be held profitably, or if wearables will point to such an intimate paring to daily life that certain platforms will begin to take on characteristics of faith-as-lived-in-communities.
As enterprises are using more Artificial Intelligence (AI) like features in their products, the push for faith tech to do the same will grow. At some point, bots and recommendation engines may conflict with approaches commonly landing in the hands of faith leaders. Can AI augment what faith intelligently leads us into, or will it begin to divert from it? I believe that conversation will grow over the next decade.
What is clear about the AI space is that the technical knowledge within many church-admin and church-community platforms will be knit by the vendor more than by the community leaders. That ability for software to pull together disparate contexts and then allow (or disallow) participants to remix them into their lives will be challenging to faith communities with older traditions. I do wonder if some forms of faith intelligence will arise – not necessarily analog – but just as much as some AI techniques pull from every available content source to drive insights, will there be a constrained Faith Intelligence (FI) engine, able to parse through spiritual contexts and then offer insights or different routes to transformation than what is currently explored.
What I found most impressive about looking ahead for technology in the church wasn't so much trying to fit what is upcoming now into a common-use frame, but to bend the perceived speed of the church to not just accept culture's change, but ask different questions. There is much left to uncover as faith and technology evolves. Some worth discussing even more as the next decade approaches.
What do you think might be some opportunities or challenges churches face in the next decade of tech?


The change in the position of foreign investors in the A-share market hides the judgment on the trend of the A-share market.QFIIAs a representative of the foreign-invested A-share market, the position of the A-share market has also taken shape.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the third quarter of last year, QFII held a total of 281 stocks. Due to the restrictions on entering the A-share market, QFII has maintained a stable overall layout for the A-share market in the short-term: according to the number and proportion of 3601 listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, QFII is expected to be heavy after the disclosure of all listed companies' annual reports.

In case you were wondering, that vague post title refers to the fact that I made a muslin, which is something I pretty much never do. I just don't have much patience when tackling new projects. But, I have also noticed that being a newbie, I tend to make a lot of mistakes. And I also notice that the second time I make something, I make less mistakes, soooo….yeah you see where this is going.
Making a muslin refers to making a "trial" garment out of some inexpensive material. Traditionally these were made with muslin, hence the name, which is a really plain cotton fabric. But now the term "making a muslin" is used for any fabric that may be used. This is my understand at least, from reading many sewing blogs. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I've been back from vacation for a few weeks, but really having trouble getting back to my sewing. It's truly a shame because I am really late in making my sister's birthday present….which I will reveal when it's done.

Denmark v Republic Of Ireland, Euro 2020 Qualifier
Denmark face Rep of Ireland in this Euro 2020 qualifier on Friday June 7th at 7:45pm
Posted By: Shane McArdle 6th June 2019
Shane McArdle looks forward to the Euro 2020 qualifier between Denmark and Rep of Ireland, Friday, 7:45pm
Denmark v Republic Of Ireland, Friday, June 7th, 7:45pm
European Championship 2020 Qualifier
Denmark who are currently ranked 10th in the FIFA world rankings take on Rep Of Ireland who are 29th in the same world rankings.
This tells us that there is a bit of a gulf in class between the sides but having faced each other twice at the end of 2018 in the UEFA Nations League and both of those games ending in 0-0 draws, this is obviously not the case at all.
In saying that, Rep of Ireland never really looked like getting a win in either game but at the same time they're opponents were not capable of breaking them down.
Denmark come into this Group D qualifier in third place in the group having played out a dramatic 3-3 draw away to Switzerland back in March of this year.
The Danes were 3-0 down in that game before scoring three times in the final six minutes to get an unlikely point.
Rep of Ireland are currently top of the group with two wins from their opening two group games.
That being said they were two narrow 1-0 wins over Gibraltar and Georgia and they now face a much sterner task against these opponents.
Check out the latest Denmark v Rep of Ireland betting here
Head-To-Heads
The sides are meeting each other for the 18th time in this match, with Denmark on four wins, Rep of Ireland with five wins and eight draws.
Three of the last four meetings between these two sides have finished in 0-0 draws, with the other match finishing in a comprehensive 5-1 away win for Denmark at the Aviva Stadium back in November 2017.
The last two 0-0 meetings of these countries have seen a disappointing total of five shots on target over both games, with nine corners and six yellow cards.
The Match:
Denmark's last eight consecutive home matches including friendlies have produced under 2.5 goals. This trend may well continue as they face a Rep of Ireland side who will most likely be set-up defensively by manager Mick McCarthy.
Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy has stated in a recent interview that he would take hand and all if he was offered a share of the spoils against Denmark and Switzerland which indicates his intentions of making sure this will be a tight affair.
Total match goals to be under 2.5 goals on recent evidence is advised at 1/2
Rep Of Ireland in the Draw No Bet market at 18/5
Republic Of Ireland +1 in the Handicap market at 11/8

It's asparagus season again! Our local pick-your-own have some exquisite ones and we've been enjoying them a lot.
Any good supermarket is now selling British asparagus. Choose British ones because I also saw some skinny Peruvian ones yesterday. The British are chunkier and may not seem as attractive, but they have more taste and vitamins and a smaller carbon footprint.
Asparagus are such a treat that it doesn't take an over-complicated dish to make them shine. I like how the Spanish cook them in a revuelto (scrambled eggs). Eggs work really well with asparagus and last week I made a quiche with them. This week ,we opted for brown rice.
Cut the asparagus in 1 inch chunks. Steam them with 4 cups of water for 7-10 minutes. Keep the water.
Dice the onion and tomato, cut the garlic finely. Slice the mushrooms, then cut the slices in half. Sweat the onion and garlic in olive oil, add the tomato and then finally the mushrooms. Sweat together for 3-5 minutes and then add the rice. Stir for a couple minutes. Add the asparagus water, the tomato concentrate, salt, pepper and cover.
Bring to boil and cook on low heat for 40 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed completely and the rice is cooked. Add the asparagus and stir.
Serve with the lemon cut in quarters and grated parmesan.
