Mar 18, · In Raymond Williams short but rich selection of his book Marxism and Literature, "Dominant, Residual, and Emergent," we find a fascinating essay that both explains how dominant social structures maintain their dominance, while at the same time other social groups and in fact individuals can contradict or subvert those cultures. In short, his main ideas. Raymond Williams helped to establish the field of cultural sociology with Marxism and Literature and Culture and Society. Continuing the work of those studies, The Sociology of Culture offers debate on the origin and evolution of culture. It defines sociology of culture as a convergence of various fields and explores ways in which culture is.

Thoughts from an Intern
Thoughts From An Intern Post #2
To finish my first week, I was able to spend Thursday and Friday completing different kinds of tasks. The day was filled activity. The first and most important of these tasks was to give tours of the facility to potential clients. Brooks is manager at the studio; therefore, he is typically the one who conducts these tours and he was more than willing to let me observe the process. It was interesting to hear about each person's vision for their show, commercial, or creative video. For example, one client might want to shoot a talk show about sports, while another might want to create a series of short videos for a social media campaign. I began to see the endless possibilities, especially considering the level of technology that we have at our disposal. The objective of the tours is to showcase everything that L.A. Castle Studios has to offer.
I also had the opportunity to observe Brett while editing on Final Cut Pro X. As an editor, I am experienced only on Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas, so watching him work in Final Cut felt foreign. However, I quickly began to see the similarities between the systems. Later, I was able to try my hand at editing a short video and spend the rest of my afternoon experimenting with it. It was nice to be back behind the computer cutting clips. There is a huge contrast between production and non-production days; yet, there are things that I love about each.

L.A. Castle Studios is proud to be able to host some of the best and brightest future entertainment industry leaders as interns. Our interns experience first hand what it's like to work in a fast-paced production studio environment and they're provided opportunities to learn, make mistakes, and grow in many facets of the studio; from the virtual system, to cameras, lighting, editing, and directing.
One of our interns for the summer has come all the way from South Carolina. She's chronicling her experiences at L.A. Castle Studios and we'll be posting them in blog form here.
Welcome to the studio, Rachel!
Thoughts from an Intern #1:
My name is Rachel and my first two days interning at L.A. Castle Studios in Burbank were nothing less than exhilarating. I have a fascination with the recording and editing process; and I knew a successful studio was the place to be in order to learn more. My goal while studying at L.A. Castle Studios is to observe the crew at work and get hands on experience using their advanced systems for virtual sets.
As a college junior at Anderson University in South Carolina, I wasn't sure what to expect when walking into a true production studio. I have to admit, at first it was overwhelming. But soon, it became exciting. I was finally able to visualize all the moving parts of a production. When seeing everything play out, I have realized how much work goes into every shot. Production assistants are just as vital to the set as directors or the camera crew. Every single individual is striving to do their best in the job that they have been given. They are willing to invest their time to create something that they can be proud of. This is the kind of team that I wish to be a part of.
So far I have been jumping in when needed, and otherwise observing the professionals at work. I am excited to begin working behind the computer and seeing more of that L.A. Castle Studios has in store.

Tilting Up -- Amazing Technology for Standing Sets
Traditional talk show and sitcom sets limit camera movement, especially for shots that tilt up. Why? Because studio lights are present above each set, and tilting up would reveal those lights, breaking the reality of the shot — especially on a sitcom. But what about standing sets at L.A. Castle Studios? Whether it's for a talk show, live sitcom show, game show, or even a full-length feature film, our standing sets allow full camera movement.
In the attached video, look at what happens when our jib operator tilts up. You see not the lights of our studio, but a kitchen atrium with a tree blowing in the wind. If you were to construct this home at any other studio in Burbank, it would be impossible for you to see a ceiling and the sky like this.
Now one small portion of our Italian Village set. Again, when our jib operator tilts up, you see the sky. Even though the actor is actually standing indoors.
Over to our warehouse set. Filming in a traditional warehouse would involve a very complicated lighting setup — which of course we have running on stage, but when we tilt up, you don't see our real lights. You see the lights of the warehouse just as they should be. This can lead to some very cool shots that are impossible in a real warehouse.
One more example for you — Over to our space station. Again, when my jib operator tilts up, you see the ceiling of the space station. Our actor is still on our same stage in Burbank, but he sees himself in the space station and you see him there too. This space station is huge. It would take a million dollars or more to build. We have it for much less and it's just as, if not more real than if it were really built on any other stage in Burbank.
Now I know you think this is bogus, but we invite you to our studio for a free tour and live demo of our amazing technology and show you in person, what this blog post is about. Give us a call at 818-861-7317.

"The Art of Stagecraft" at L.A. Castle Studios
L.A. Castle Studios was honored to have been the host location for a panel conversation on "The Art of Stagecraft", presented by the Burbank Arts for All Foundation.
Our studio was a unique location for the panel because the panelists were sitting on a green stage with green behind them. But, in the monitors surrounding our stage, the panel audience was seeing something totally different and in many ways, amazing. In the monitors, the background behind the panel was rotating to various beautiful locations as we brought up virtual sets powered by the Unreal Video Game Engine. From a beautiful penthouse virtual set overlooking Downtown Los Angeles by night to a space station virtual set, to a backyard virtual set, to the Wild West, London, and many places in-between, the audience was treated to a visual delight.
L.A. Castle Studios' virtual studio technology, powered by the Unreal Video Game Engine allows for productions like this, and movies, TV shows, talk shows, and more to take place anywhere you can dream; past, present, or future, on virtual sets powered by the Unreal Video Game engine.
Take a look at the video below and while you watch, please keep a few things in mind.
1. Think about how our revolutionary technology might work with your production — imagineer being able to quickly film in many locations, at the push of a button!
2. We did not stop the panel to configure lighting for each set. Our system allows for full control over stage and cinema lighting; just as if you were really filming on any of these locations.
3. The panelists were not mic'd individually — we apologize for any audio problems!
Thanks for reading and watching! Now be sure to book a tour of our production studio, located in Burbank, California.
And, be sure to support the Burbank Arts for All Foundation here: http://www.burbankartsforall.org/support-us/

Archie Davis, correre è vita
씨름, SSIREUM. Il wrestling coreano è tradizione
씨름, SSIREUM. The traditional Korean wrestling
In Seoul, modernity stops and pay homage to a millenary practice
"As an exercise of the whole body, Ssireum fosters the cultivation of the body and mind. It also encourages mutual respect and cooperation, contributing to the harmony and cohesion of communities and groups"
(UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage report)
Extrap yourself from the hyper-technological South Korean world. Distance yourself from neon lights, endless skyscrapers and an electronic society. Go back in time, forget the concept of 'Asian Tiger', chaebol and futurist finance.
Listen, feel the sand at your feet, the muscular strength of a tense body, the unspeakable power released by the contact of two individuals. It is the Ssireum, it is a practice lost in time, in tradition. It is a sporting grip on the ancient world, on an increasingly distant and evanescent past.
Wrestling, sculptural art, human struggle against time. Fred MacGregor introduces us to this fascinating South Korean practice. Enjoy his shots and his words.
앞 무릎 뒤집기
( Front knee turn – over )
Ssireum techniques focus on 5 distinct areas; hand, leg, foot, waist, and lift. Round-winning moves are often resounding and explosive.
사트바
( Satba )
Each bout starts with the wrestlers grasping one another's Satba by both the leg and the waist.
I shot a project on Ssireum, a form of folk wreslting. This is a tradional sport spanning thousands of years and its a really interesting counterpoint to the idea that many people have of Korea as a super-modern state.
In early 2020, an assignment took me to the incredible city of Seoul, South Korea. Such opportunities don't come around every day, so I set about learning a bit more about my destination. Some of the more well-known Korean cultural exports (like food, technology and music) are very contemporary, or at least don't explicitly reference their heritage. Perhaps this is unsurprising considering the rapid modernisation of the Republic from the 1960's onward. The shocking speed at which paddy fields were replaced by high-rise buildings in places like Gangnam arguably led to a de-coupling of Korean people from their recent, more traditional past.
The tradition of Ssireum goes back to before the Common Era, its popularity waxing and waning even after the organisation of a professional body in the 20th Century. In 2018 Ssireum was Inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Thanks to the Korean Ssireum Association, I was privileged to be invited to Yong In University in order to watch the next generation of Ssireum wrestlers. This short monograph shows a glimpse into the culture around Ssireum, I hope that the people captured on these pages go on to push the sport further forwards.
장사
( Jangsa )
Ssireum was traditionally played during folk festivals. The winner became 'Jangsa' and was awarded an Ox and a kilogram of rice as his prize, symbolising agricultural abundance.
정
( Jeong )
The notion of Jeong permeates all of society in South Korea. It stands for feeling, love, sentiment, passion, human nature, sympathy, and heart.

We have all felt, from time to time, feelings of inadequacy, insecurity and even questioning the importance of our own life.
We become overwhelmed with the dealings of our daily lives and insecurity can creep in and take over. The confidence that we work so hard to build up can easily be chipped away by a critical word, or a thoughtless gesture.
The disappointments of life can tear down the assurance of self-worth like being passed over for a job or even not getting a job you really wanted or needed, being unable to provide for your family or the inability to find someone special to spend the rest of your life with.
Jesus said in Matthew 10 that God knows the activities of the sparrow and we are certainly worth more than many sparrows.
God even knows the number of hairs on our head. God knew us before He created us in our mother's womb. How special we must be to be wonderfully and fearfully made by the Creator of the Universe!
We should not be afraid when those doubts and insecurities creep in and try to tear down what we have worked so hard to build up because we know that our Heavenly Father says that we are worth so much more!
Does your life really matter? It certainly does!
Keep your self-esteem built up by spending more time with friends who are positive and encouraging. Try to block out those who can be critical and hurtful.
Be sure to take time out each day to thank God for creating us so wonderfully and thank Him for the sparrow!
Our Heavenly Father, thank You so much for wonderfully and fearfully creating each and every one of us. Thank You for our individual gifts and talents. We ask that You walk with us daily and give us guidance in helping to overcome the negative and critical events of our day. Help us look to the sparrow and allow it to be a reminder of how much our lives matter. We love You, Jesus! Amen.

Q: Java - Double number return unexpected Probably a very simple math question, but this has me a little bit confused.
Can anybody explain to me why this:
public class volumesphere
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    double radius = 30.5;
    double PI = Math.PI;
    double volume = (4.0/3) * PI * Math.pow(radius, 3);

    System.out.println(volume);
}
}

Is different to this?:
public class volumesphere
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    double radius = 30.5;
    double PI = Math.PI;
    double volume = (4/3) * PI * Math.pow(radius, 3);

    System.out.println(volume);
}
}

Specifically in the line:
double volume = (4/3) * PI * Math.pow(radius, 3);

volume in the first case returns the correct answer at about 1.19*10^5. However, the latter returns a completely different result, around 8.9*10^4.
Can anybody explain this to me please?

A: Its because 4/3 is 1 and not 1.333....
When you do int / int, you get an int as the result.
On the contrary 4.0 / 3 is 1.333..., because the types are double / int and therefore result in a double.

A: In 4/3   the 4 is an Integer
In 4.0/3   the 4 is a Double
As integer it won't have decimal values, as double it will ^^
The result is: 1,333333333333 for both the operations, but as Integer it won't get the decimal part.

It is soon to be the most wonderful time of the year, yes I am talking about Christmas. The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes more friends and family gatherings, gift exchanges, holiday dinners, and perhaps more traveling.
It is a busy time of the year for you, as well as your dog. Your dog's routine will be interrupted, and that could cause some stress and anxiety to your dog, causing your dog to resort to some bad behavior issues like chewing, barking excessively, or being destructive. With that going on, neither you nor your dog will be feeling very festive.
If you take the time to plan ahead for your dog's needs during the busy holiday season, then both you and your dog will enjoy a more calm and less stressful holiday.
The tips below will help you keep your dog safe and stress free.
You may have a dog that loves to chew on sticks, and the sight of you bringing in a huge chew stick that is your Christmas Tree, will have your dog wagging its tail with excitement. You need to take precaution, to ensure your dog will not start gnawing away at your tree.
Some dog owners choose to do without a tree, because their dog cannot be trusted around it, and others set up baby gates around their tree to keep their dog away from it.
A good idea is to place your tree in a corner, to limit your dog's access to it. You might have to only decorate the top half of the tree, and keep the lower half bare so that your dog can't get to the ornaments. Another option is to place aluminum foil on the lower branches as a noise deterrent to keep your dog away.
If you own a male dog, he might mark his territory by peeing on the tree. Something to be aware of.
If you plan on having a real tree in your home for Christmas, be sure to keep it securely anchored so that it doesn't tip over and fall, possibly injuring your dog. With a real tree you want to keep a close eye on the water, and make sure your dog does not treat it like a drinking bowl. Tree water may contain fertilizers and cause stomach upset, and the water is a breeding ground for bacteria when it is left stagnant. Be sure to keep the water covered so that your dog doesn't get tempted to drink from it.
With an artificial tree, you also want to make sure to have it securely anchored, to prevent it from tipping and falling over.
Be careful of the needles from artificial and real trees, and keep them cleaned up and off the floor, because if your dog ingests them it can cause punctures to the intestines.
Ornaments can be hazardous to dogs, and you need to keep a close eye on your dog around the tree. Broken ornaments can cause injuries, and if your dog ingests any ornaments it can cause intestinal blockage, or even toxicity.
Electric lights become dangerous if your dog chews on the wire, your dog could get burned, or get a shock. It is best to keep lights away from the lower branches of your tree, to avoid any dangers and to keep your dog from getting tangled in the wires.
Be sure to hang any precious ornaments, or breakable items high enough so that your dog can't get to them. Same goes for any food ornaments, like homemade salt dough ornaments, chocolate ornaments, strings of popcorn and cranberries, keep them out of reach, or do not put any food based ornaments on the tree at all.
Your dog will be intrigued by all the shiny objects, and may decide to pull them off the tree and chew them.
I remember my first Christmas with my Golden Retriever Ellie, she was a puppy and treated our Christmas Tree like her personal chew toy. She would circle the tree and pull off any ornament that she liked, and I would have to chase her to get it back. It was a game to her, luckily they were soft plush ornaments and no damage was done to her, however I did lose a few of my ornaments due to damage.
All of these plants are toxic to dogs and should be kept out of reach. Poinsettias are mildly toxic, and Holly and Mistletoe are far more dangerous to your dog. If ingested these plants can cause vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and more. If you suspect your dog has ingested any amount of these plants you should call your vet immediately.
The twinkling lights of burning candles can cause curiosity in your dog, and it is another source of danger. Your dog can get burned, and one wag of your dog's tail can easily knock over a burning candle and cause a fire. Be sure to keep burning candles out of reach and away from your dog.
A good idea is to use battery operated candles.
During the holidays most people want to fill their home with fragrances of the season, but the different scents and chemicals in the air can cause your dog to become sick. A dog's sense of smell is far greater than ours, and your dog will be sensitive to any fragrance in the home.
Scented candles and air fresheners, are filled with synthetic fragrances and emit toxins into the air, which are dangerous for your dog and yourself to breathe in. Potpourri should be avoided, as it is toxic to your dog if ingested. Your dog could also be allergic to scents, so it is best to avoid any chemical fragrances.
A natural way to make your home smell amazing during the holidays is to fill a saucepan with water, bring it to a boil and add cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange rinds and apple peels, and let it simmer. Your home will smell like Christmas and the scent is all natural and will not harm your dog.
Be sure to keep your dog from chewing and ingesting any wrapping paper, ribbons and bows, and don't wrap your dog's neck in ribbon or tinsel to make your dog look festive, it is a choking hazard.
Chocolate is usually found in abundance during the holidays in many households, and it should be kept away from your dog. Chocolate is toxic to your dog, and the levels of toxicity vary depending on the type of chocolate, how much was consumed, and the size of your dog. All chocolate should be off limits to your dog.
The ingredient that is found in most sugar-free baked goods is a sweetener called Xylitol, and it is extremely dangerous to your dog. Xylitol is used in many sugar-free products including sugar-free gum, so be sure to keep any purses of visiting guests off the floor and out of reach of your dog.
Most people either love fruitcake or hate it, and it can usually be found in most households during the Christmas season. If you are one of the people that hate fruitcake and think you are doing yourself a favor by offering it to the dog, think again. Fruitcake is very dangerous to your dog.
The ingredients of raisins, currants, and yeast dough, that are in fruitcake are a bad combination for your dog.
As tempting as it may be to offer your dog some tasty leftovers, it is not a good idea. Fatty and spicy foods are not good for your dog, and bones are dangerous.
Turkey bones can easily splinter, and become a choking hazard and puncture your dog's digestive tract. The high fat content, seasoning, and salt of leftovers can cause stomach upset, and can lead to pancreatitis.
The holiday festivities usually include alcoholic beverages like eggnog, punch, wine, and cocktails. No matter what alcoholic beverages are consumed, they should be kept away from your dog. Even a small amount of alcohol can cause vomiting, weakness and seizures. Don't let any of your friends or family offer your dog alcohol, to get some laughs, it is extremely dangerous.
You know enough to keep your medication out of reach from your dog, but if you have visiting guests during the holidays you will want to make sure that they keep any medication securely locked up and tucked away from your dog.
Dog's enjoy the comfort of their home and surroundings, and any change of familiarity can cause stress and anxiety in your dog. If your holiday schedule involves traveling by car, and you are bringing your dog with you, then it is a good idea to take some of your dog's favorite toys, blanket, or bed, and regular food. If your dog sleeps in a crate, you can pack that too, so that your dog will be able to feel more at home and comfortable.
When my husband and I traveled overnight for the first time with Ellie to my parents house for Christmas, we packed up her toys, blanket, and her crate. When it came time to go to bed, she wanted nothing to do with her crate or blanket, and instead she jumped up onto the bed with my husband and slept. She pretty much took over the whole bed.
Now whenever we go to my parents house she sleeps on the bed, and during the day she sleeps on the couch. She has definitely made herself at home there.
If your holiday plans involve air travel, or you simply cannot take your dog with you because your dog doesn't travel well, or a friend or family member has allergies, then boarding your dog is an option.
Be sure to research and choose a boarding facility that meets your dog's needs as well as your own. It is a good idea to check out the facility with your dog before you board your dog there. This way you can make sure it is clean and well maintained, and that it has enough indoor and outdoor space for sleeping and daily exercise. Letting your dog sniff around and get familiar with the surroundings will help to ease any of the anxiety of being dropped off at an unfamiliar place.
If boarding your dog at an unfamiliar facility makes you nervous, or you are just uncomfortable with the thought of leaving your dog at a strange place, then you should give yourself plenty of time to ask any neighbors or friends who would be willing to pet-sit your dog in your home or theirs. You could also research any pet sitters in your area who would come to your home to look after your dog.
The more time you give yourself to prepare, the less stress there will be for you and your dog.
If you are hosting holiday gatherings this year, make sure to plan ahead and inform your guests that you do have a dog, so that they are aware in case anyone suffers from allergies, or is not a dog lover.
Let guests with allergies know, that no matter how much you clean, your home will not be allergen-free, and they should remember to bring their allergy medicine.
Your guests will also want to inform you if they plan on bringing their own dog, and you may want to decline depending on how your dog or their dog reacts to other dogs.
Visitors can be upsetting to dogs, as can the noise and excitement of holiday parties. If you have a dog that is shy or fearful of others, you will want to provide your dog with a safe and quiet area away from the noise and distractions, this can be a crate in a quiet room or area. Be sure to provide fresh water, and your dogs favorite toys and blanket, to make your dog feel safe and secure.
Make sure your guests know that you do not want them feeding anything to your dog without your permission. Guests might fall for the sad puppy dog face that your dog gives while begging for food, but let them know that any food given to your dog should be approved by you.
Holiday parties can get messy, with plates of food left unattended and leftovers in the trash, your dog could easily ingest something that he/she shouldn't. Make sure to keep food out of reach of your dog, and keep a lid on the garbage can.
With so many guests coming in and out of your home, you will want to keep a close eye on open doors and windows, your dog could easily get spooked and venture off outside. Make sure your dog is wearing a collar with an up to date ID Tag, in case your dog gets lost.
Dog's love and crave routine, it makes them feel safe and secure. It might not always be easy to keep your dog on the same routine during the busy holiday season, but it is important to try to maintain your dog's regular schedule as much as possible. That means walking and feeding your dog at the regular times.
A good idea is to set an alarm on your phone, so that you are reminded of when to feed and walk your dog when you are amongst all the distraction and visiting guests. Don't forget to schedule some play time, and affection for your dog as well, that way your dog feels more at ease and not thrown off balance by all the activities.
On the day of your guest's arrival, a good way to relieve some stress and anxiety in your dog and yourself is to provide plenty of exercise. Take your dog for a nice long walk, and provide plenty of playtime, this way your dog will be well exercised and feel tired. A tired dog is a good dog.
The busy holiday season can get pretty stressful, not only for you but for your dog as well. By making sure to give yourself plenty of time to prepare for any traveling that you will do, or for any visiting guests into your home, the less stress there will be for you and your dog.
Keeping your dog safe and stress free is the important message, and by being aware of the common household hazards and dangerous food items, you will be well on your way to enjoying a happy holiday.
Be sure to give your dog what he/she craves, and that is safety, security, routine and love and affection.
How are you planning on spending the holidays with your dog this year? Do you have any other holiday safety tips for dogs that I forgot to mention? Please share your comments below, I would love to hear from you.
Hi Jenny, this post is very thorough about all the ills that can befall a dog during the Christmas and holiday season.
I was surprised to learn that dogs can get sick from eating fruit cake. Because our dogs are so much part of the family, it is so easy to forget that the majority of human food isn't good for dogs and can actually make them sick.
Your advice with regards to taking your dog on holidays is spot on. Dogs like the comfort and familiarity of their home and can become distressed when they don't have familiar objects around them. It is always best to plan ahead and make sure your dog has his/her favorite toys and blanket when travelling.
Hi Suzie thank you for your comment. Yes, fruit cake is very bad for dogs. It contains candied fruit, raisins, and yeast which is all toxic to dogs. When travelling with dogs it is important to remember that they will possibly be in an unfamiliar area, and that is why dog owners should always take their dogs favourite toy or blanket with them, that way your dog will be able to enjoy the holidays too.
This is a great list and I do have two sweet dogs. I learned early on about the chocolate. My kids would open their stocking and leave them on the floor. We learned very quickly not to do that. Our dogs got into the chocolate and one got very sick from it. Thankfully, our vet told us what to do and it helped tremendously…saved his life. So wonderful suggestions and worth it for everyone to heed!
Thank you for your comment. With so many dangerous items, food and non-food items, the holidays can be pretty scary for your pets. Chocolate is a big no no for dogs, I am glad that everything turned out well for your dog, and that your vet was able to save your dogs life.
These are some great tips. Growing up, I noticed that our dogs would have a terrible time during new year's eve celebrations because of fireworks. I feel bad for them as the noise could be too much for them.
Also, a sudden wave of visitors can cause unexpected stress or anxiety, as you pointed out. It's nice to have family over for the holidays but our dogs are family too!
Jenny, Hi! It's good that in the days of the pre-holiday bustle you published a caring topic about a devoted friend. Your advice takes into account the safety and content of your beloved dog as much as possible during the Christmas holidays.
The dog may experience anxiety and stress from loud noises and festive noise. Also, children unfamiliar to her, can be an additional source of distribution.It is important that the owner was there in these cases. You also have to watch the dog not to get boiled bones, because the teeth break them and sharp pieces get into the stomach.
In short, the attempts of the guests to feed the dog and play with it require additional attention from the owner.
Hi Mark, thank you for your comment. I agree, that any children visiting in your home need to be supervised around your dog, for the safety of the children and safety of your dog. Dogs can be unpredictable, even if they are the friendliest dog, supervision is always necessary when children are involved. Thank you for bringing that up, and also mentioning boiled bones. Boiled and cooked bones are extremely dangerous to dogs and should never be given.
I found some excellent information in your article, I really had no idea that there is so many toxic products in our homes, it really makes you think about what we are using on a daily basis.
I have a boxer and when I first got him he felt like he had to chew everything, he even had a go at chewing the stairs at one stage. Thankfully now he has mellowed out and it is safe to have him in the house.
I do agree with you that exercise is a great way to calm your dog and make them feel more relaxed.
Thank you for your comment. Keeping your dog exercised and mentally stimulated is a wonderful thing. They will feel more calm and relaxed, and tired. After the puppy stage dogs do mellow out, and dog owners are always thankful for that, but after a while when your dog gets older you do kind of miss all of their crazy antics.
We have a dog and a puppy. They always feel hungry when we are having our meals.
Last year our dog accidentally ate a small piece of Poinsettias and ended up vomiting and sick. We had to bring him to the vet and gave him medication.
Hi Christine thank you for your comment. I think everyone can relate to dogs always being hungry when humans eat. A good idea, when everyone is eating around the dinner table, is to offer your dog a Kong toy stuffed with a favourite treat, that way your dog won't feel left out, and your dog will be kept busy. Yes, dogs should be safe and enjoy the holidays too.
Great tips for our furbabies during the holidays! I'm lucky in that both of my pups leave the tree alone. However, our youngest puppy is a big boxer and she has gotten pretty curious about the small village pieces, particularly the old country outhouse. So my tip would be to remember your pets when you start putting your Christmas village together and ensure they are up high and secure. Do you have any tips on how your holiday guests should be introduced to your pups, particularly if they bring pups of their own?
Hi Kris, thanks for your comment, and great tip on keeping any Christmas village items high up and out of reach of dogs.
If your holiday guests plan on bringing a dog of their own, it is best to have them inform you ahead of time. This way their dog and your own dog can maybe have a meet and greet beforehand, to get used to each other and to see how they get along. If it is a surprise visit with their dog in tow, let the dogs sniff each other and get familiar with each other. It is always best to keep a close eye on the dogs and never leave them unattended, as you never know what will happen.
Hello Jenny. It is almost Christmas and I needed these awesome tips to keep your dog safe and stress free during these holidays. If not for this post, I wouldn't have figured out that some of these items used for Christmas are dangerous to my dog's health. Thanks for the idea to go out with my dog (traveling) and also to stick around with it.
Hi Barry, thank you for your comment. I am glad that my post was able to help you out, and I wish you and your dog a happy and safe holiday.


For their latest release, Particles revisits Ukrainian producer Following Light's 'Calm' EP from last year, repackaging the title track with new remixes from Masahiko Inui and Exoplanet.
Following Light's original version of 'Calm' is floaty and melodic, driven by a great bass progression and cool percussion. The main hook is layered on with a extremely delicate touch, adding to the dream-like quality of the track. I could perhaps have done with a little bit more variety during the two-minute sequence following the main breakdown – it's very pleasant indeed, but it gets just a tad repetitive after a minute or so. Still, this is gorgeous stuff.
Masahiko Inui's previous outings on Axon have been impressive, and he doesn't disappoint here on his debut on Particles. Kicking off with slightly wavering pads an skipping kickdrums, a brief breakdown introduces the main hook from the original, wrapped in a fog of soft melodies. The high point of the remix, though, is the long breakdown, which introduces beautiful metallic chimes over the other melodies. Given the length of the breakdown, there's a slightly disappointing lack of power to the drop that follows, though I guess on a track called 'Calm' that shouldn't come as a total surprise. That aside, this is a simple but really beautiful melodic techno moment that makes great use of the best ideas from Following Light's original.
Exoplanet is responsible for many of Particles's best moments over the past few years, without question. His version of 'Calm' transforms it into a slow-burning afterhours number, dropping the tempo down to 112bpm and adding a trip-hoppish beat, a groovy bassline, chanting vocal samples, and layers and layers of trippy melodies and driving 303-like sounds. Halfway through an abstract, glassy rendering of the original's main hook appears – the only real nod to Following Light's original track that I could detect – though it's soon replaced with one of those deep-space melodies that Exoplanet has really made his own. It's nice enough, but the remix didn't really grab my attention at any point, and it felt a little shapeless at times. Not bad, but definitely not Exoplanet's best work.

One interesting facet of collecting arms from the War of Southern Independence time-period is to specialize in one manufacturer or armory. Some collectors specialize in Springfield Armory products; others in Colt products. The reasons for a collector to specialize in such endeavors are as varied as their approaches. Years ago, I skirmished with a fine young man named Starr, and he collected pistols manufactured under that good name. Still others are drawn in to specialized collecting by the acquisition of their first collectable, and in researching their first article are intrigued enough to desire to acquire more. The collecting of products from one man, one place or one period is an enjoyable pursuit.
One American manufacturer of military weapons seems less frequently collected at this point, and the study of his production and marketing of military products is a study of American history, Yankee ingenuity and the early years of American business all rolled into one subject -- the firm of Eli Whitney. Indeed, the name of Eli Whitney is so woven into the fabric of the American Civil War that I doubt this name shall ever be forgotten.
Eli Whitney was born in Connecticut in 1765. At the age of 28, only one year removed from his studies at Yale, Whitney invented the cotton gin, completing design and working model in ten days! Whitney did not properly protect his genius, and infringements and outright theft by partners resulted in little profit for Whitney from his first endeavor. However, the invention and its' immediate impact on the American economy established Whitneys' lifelong reputation as a mechanical/industrial wizard. Many scholars recognize the invention of the cotton gin as one of the catalysts leading to the Civil War.
In 1798, Whitney received a contract from the young U.S. government to produce 10,000 "stand of arms." The proposal that Whitney submitted suggested that these muskets would be so constructed as to maintain interchangeable parts. Whitney also proved, in the manufacture of these guns, that workman with little or no skills could be trained to operate machinery and turn out subassemblies in great quantities. Here lies the basis of American economic and industrial thought for the next 150 years!
Whitney operated what he called a "private Armory," and called his plant the Whitneyville Armory during his lifetime. His early products include: the 1798 U.S. and Connecticut Contracts Musket; the pre-1812 Connecticut and New York Contracts Muskets; the 1812 U.S. and Massachusetts Contracts Musket; and, the 1822 U.S. Contract Musket. Whitneys' only son was born in 1821, four years before the elder Whitneys' death. Prior to 1825, Eli, Sr. entered into an agreement with two nephews, Philos and E. W. Blake, and the Blakes ran the armory until 1834, at which time interim trustees (Edwards and Goodrich) ran the establishment until 1842, when Eli Whitney, Jr. came of legal age and took control.
Young Whitneys' first commercial endeavor was to produce the Model 1841 Percussion Rifle for the U. S. government. A total of 22,500 were produced under 4 contracts from 1842 until 1854, however, Whitney always claimed he never made a cent on the product. Weapons manufactured at both public and private armories were subject to "the inspection of Gauges" to maintain part interchangability. These inspections resulted in many rejects, in part and in whole. Eventually, Whitney purchased condemned parts from Springfield and combined his own condemned parts with sub-assemblies purchased in England following the Crimean War to produce a line of weapons Whitney himself labeled "Good and Serviceable Arms not subject to government inspection of gauges." As the political climate heated up in America in the late 1850s, Whitney began production of five distinct Good and Serviceable Arms; the Model 1855 type; the "Richmond" type humpback lock Rifle-Musket; the Enfield type Rifle-Musket; the Enfield type Rifle; and the Model 1841 type Rifle. All of these models had lockplates simply marked "E. WHITNEY," some over "N. HAVEN" and were each produced in limited (from 500 to 2,000) quantities.
One very much sought after Whitney product is the PLYMOUTH RIFLE, officially known as the 1861 Navy Percussion Rifle. Over 10,000 guns were completed between 1863 and 1864. This awesome weapon was produced on the recommendation of Captain John Dahlgren. The .69 caliber, 2-band design was first designed and tested by the Dahlgren on board the USS Plymouth between 1856 - 58, and was nicknamed thereafter the "Plymouth Rifle."
The large number of muskets required by the federal forces after the beginning of hostilities in 1861 resulted in two federal and one state contract for Whitney, all based on the Model 1861 Springfield. Whitney also produced, entirely on speculation, what collectors know as the "MANTON" marked rifle- musket. These efforts produced 29,000 military long arms for use by the combatants of the American Civil War, but it is not the end of the collectors interest in Civil War ordnance produced by Whitney.
Undoubtedly the most remarkable, if still least known, effort of the Whitneyville Armory was the production of 1,000 Walker Revolvers as a subcontractor for Samuel Colt. A very short time after the closing of his Paterson, NJ facility, Colt received an order for 1,000 pistols for use by mounted soldiers in the Mexican War. Colt assigned his entire contract to young Eli Whitney, Jr.s' company. Although this was the era that gave birth to robber barons and cut-throat business tactics, Whitney produced the Walkers and turned over all dies and equipment to Colt when Sam opened his factory in nearby Hartford. Unlike other manufacturers, Whitney never infringed on any of the Colt patents, yet managed to produce eight distinct models of percussion revolvers between 1850 and 1865.
The first three Whitney revolvers were manufactured from 1850 to 1853 in limited quantities and small quantities. Whitney remained with small caliber revolvers when he produced his two most popular handguns, the Whitney Navy and Pocket Revolvers. The Navy was produced in .36 caliber with a 6-shot capacity, while the Pocket Model had a 5-shot .31 caliber cylinder More then 30,000 revolvers were manufactured in both Models, and many can be viewed in Civil War Museums and collections today.
Arms designed and manufactured by Eli Whitney, Sr. and Jr., remain an important piece of American history. Interested readers who desire to begin a collection of Civil War related weapons should be aware of the importance of the Whitneyville production.
By the time you read this, the 91st National Skirmish will be complete and I'll be broke (again). Enjoy warm weather and good friends, and until the next time, shoot safe and have fun.

Speaking to PCI at the show, Anantshree Chaturvedi, Vice Chairman & CEO of FlexFilms said "Technological advancements can be seen throughout the industry but we have been using outdated models to fulfil film buying, and Flex- BuzzR seeks to rectify this. We have new millennial purchasing managers used to a streamlined process like Amazon and being stuck with inefficient, systems, even using faxes still for orders. This platform makes the buying process easier, and a better experience for customers. In addition to showcasing the entire portfolio, they can receive training and education about the products.

Q: how to replace non ascii char in python I need to replace non ASCII char like ¾ in Python but I get
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc2' in file test.py but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details`

After following the directions on the webpage, I am getting
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xef in position 449: ordinal not in range(128)

Here's my code:
data = data.replace(u"½", u"1/2")
data = re.sub(u"¾", u"3/4", data, flags=re.DOTALL)

What do I need to change in my code?

my file is:
#!/usr/bin/python

with codecs.open("file.txt", "r", "utf8") as myfile:
    data = myfile.read()

data = data.replace(u"½", u"1/2")

file.txt is:
hello world ½

A: You're reading into the local variable data as bytes but then treating data it like it's already a unicode object.
Change this:
with open(file_name, "r") as myfile:
    data = myfile.read()

To this:
import io

with io.open(file_name, encoding="utf8") as myfile:
    data = myfile.read()

A: It looks like you want to read it as unicode but pyhton reads it as a string. Try this, the question looks similar to your UnicodeDecodeError

https://stackoverflow.com/a/18649608/5504999

Try adding #coding: utf-8 on top of your file. This will allow the usage of Non-ASCII characters.

A: I think your initial string is not properly encoded as unicode.
What you are attempting works just fine:
>>> st=u"¼½¾"
>>> print st.replace(u"½", u"1/2")
¼1/2¾

But the target needs to be unicode to start with.


World War II disrupted not only world order, but order here on the Home Front. Industries which had made consumer goods like cars and appliances shifted over to wartime production. Everyday routines were disrupted by rationing and blackouts.
For many women, the primary disruption was the removal of men – husbands, fathers, brothers, sons – from their lives. A substantial number of women not only entered the workforce for the first time, but many found that they enjoyed the feeling of competence and independence a job provided. Rossie the Riveter became an icon.
A second, and longer lasting, disruption occurred when men came home expecting that life would return to pre-war norms but were confronted by wives who chose to remain working.
Employers had become accustomed to women in the work force and now, with the post-war economic boom, the door for women's' opportunities was nailed open.
In 1941 the percentage of women who worked outside the home was 25%, mostly in low level clerical work, or as nurses and teachers. In one generation that percentage doubled and today is estimated at 70+%.
For more on this, I'm re-sending, below, an earlier blog post from last April.
If you have a story about women on the home front, please send it along.
Ah, the stay at home mom! The 1950s, a time when moms stayed home and baked cookies and all was perfect. It's a myth. What was your experience? Did you have a stay at home Mom or were you, like so many, a latchkey kid, outside, finding out about the world on your own?
Post your growing up stories – or just a comment – here. I'll share them!
Those were the days. Dad went off to work while Mom stayed home and took care of the house.
She helped out at the PTA. She baked cookies for the kids. She was always there when they came home from school. That's the way it used to be. That's how it should be. That's the way it always was.
No, it wasn't. That idealized image did exist, but only for a short time, maybe little over a decade. Like so many things, this phenomenon requires going back to the WWII era. In the early 1940s the 25% of women working outside the home mostly followed traditional roles as teachers, nurses, and office assistants though some worked in sewing and other factories.
By 1945, at the height of the war, about one third of women worked outside the home, the increase caused by their working in war production factories.

The site of Mayflower High school has a rich history since long before the school itself opened.
First inhabited in the Iron Age, burial mounds still exist in Norsey Woods, but the town that would eventually become Billericay became important when a Roman settlement was formed following the defeat of the local Trinovante tribe.
During the Saxon period a now traditional form of local government came into being. The area was then owned by King Harold's father, who is buried locally, who named the fortified settlement Burghstede.
The area then passed into the ownership of William the Conqueror's half brother. When he fell out of favour, William gave the lands to the Cistercian monks.
In 1381, men from Billericay joined the Peasant's Revolt against the poll tax. The rebels were pursued by the Kings armies and a battle ensued in Norsey Woods, adjacent to the modern Mayflower site.
Why a ship?
Whilst Billericay had become a flourishing commercial centre during the reign of Henry VIII, religious persecution during the reign of James I of England (James VI of Scotland) led some inhabitants to embark on the famous Mayflower voyage to America. The expedition was led by Christopher Martin, born in Great Burstead who is believed to have lived in what is now known as the Old Chantry in Billericay High Street and a meeting of the 'Pilgrim Fathers' is said to have taken place in Billericay prior to the sailing
In September 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, a port on the southern coast of England. Nearly 40 of the passengers were Protestant Separatists (they called themselves "Saints") who hoped to establish a new church free from religious persecution, in the so-called New World.
It is the Mayflower ship that is represented on the school's badge.
The School buildings
Mayflower High School itself was founded in 1965, with the original buildings which are now A block and B block still in use.
The school has expanded over time to and now houses 1600 students from 11-18.

Benjamin, Horkheimer, and Adorno: Modes of Historical Reflection and the Problem of Authoritative Statements.Sara Beardsworth - 2005 - Idealistic Studies 35 (1):61-72.details
The paper considers what united and divided Benjamin and Horkheimer-Adorno in terms of their respective confrontations with the question of what it is to articulate the past historically. It presents their shared self-consciousness of the difficult task of responding critically to a problem conceived of as the entanglement of the concept of history with domination. For the problem imbues conceptualization itself and therefore threatens the value of the authoritative statements made in their own critical reflection on it. I show that (...) these thinkers necessarily respond to the problem in confrontation with specific historical contexts: fascism, Soviet communism, German social democracy, and liberal democracy. The challenge they face is how to metabolize thinking in the midst of tendencies that disable it. I compare Benjamin's solution, the dialectical image, with Horkheimer and Adorno's solution, the recovery of critical reflection through the fragmentary writing of Dialectic of Enlightenment.

From Nature in Love: The Problem of Subjectivity in Adorno and Freudian Psychoanalysis. [REVIEW]Sara Beardsworth - 2007 - Continental Philosophy Review 40 (4):365-387.details
This paper investigates the potential of the concept of sublimation for thinking subjectivity at the intersection of psychoanalysis and critical theory. I first rehearse a recent argument by Whitebook that Freud's notion of sublimation presents a nonviolent integration and expansion of the ego, which can mediate the modern dichotomy between the rational subject and nonrational impulse and desire. On this view, sublimation turns subjectivity into a site of possibility in the context of modern, rationalized thought and society. I then argue (...) that the concept of sublimation offered to critical theory in this form is insufficiently developed. Both Freud and Adorno analyze a deep-seated destructiveness of the modern subject, which turns up right at the heart of attempts to mediate the dichotomies of rationalized modernity. What is needed to counter this problem is a theory of love in which love is not separated from, but, rather, correlated with drive and desire, and can thereby get on a level with the unconscious or unacknowledged, impulsive nature of death-bearing subjectivity in enlightened modernity. A central conception in Kristeva's development of Freudian psychoanalysis, the idea of transference love, delivers such a theory and thereby develops the concept of sublimation in the way that is needed at the intersection of psychoanalysis and critical theory.

Freud's Oedipus and Kristeva's Narcissus: Three Heterogeneities.Sara Beardsworth - 2005 - Hypatia 20 (1):54-77.details
: The paper shows that three heterogeneities in Freud and Kristeva (unconscious/conscious, semiotic/symbolic, and imaginary/symbolic) expose the historical emergence, significance, and demise of psychic structures that present obstacles to our progressive political thinking. The oedipal and narcissistic structures of subjectivity represent the persistence of two past, bad forms of authority: paternal law and maternal authority. Contemporary psychoanalysis reveals a humankind going through the loss of this past in a process that opens up a different future of sexual difference in Western (...) cultures. (shrink)

Keeping It Intimate: A Meditation on the Power of Horror.Sara Beardsworth - 2013 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 21 (1):127-131.details
The paper is a reading of Julia Kristeva, The Severed Head . It first interprets a dual historical element in Kristeva's text on "capital visions," her selection of exemplars of the artistic representation of severed heads. On the one hand, there are the aesthetic trajectories themselves, from skull art to artistic modernism. On the other hand, there is an implicit history of "horror" in psychoanalysis in this text, going from Freud through Lacan to Kristeva. The paper then indicates the tone (...) of possibility and invitation that inhabits Kristeva's treatment of horror in capital visions, which suggests that she does not divide aesthetics off from ethics. Finally, I underline the note of humor that enters into the psychoanalytic and aesthetic treatment of horror, once Kristeva has linked it to the feminine. (shrink)

The Philosophical Foundations of Kristeva's Thought.Sara Beardsworth - unknowndetails
The critical reception of Kristeva's writings has largely been in the field of feminist thought, literary studies and social theory. Her thought has been appreciated or abandoned on the grounds of its argument that the concepts and practices of 'psychoanalysis' and 'literature' present the truth of modern social and political relations - in distinction from and criticism of philosophical 'system' . The thesis implicitly challenges this general reception of I (...) the Hegelian ambition of her analysis of the 'subject' in social and political relations. The main object of the thesis is to establish the philosophical foundations of Kristeva's 'return to Freud' in the philosophy of law from Kant to Hegel. The thesis presents the significance and limitation of her engagement with German idealism, and the consequences of that limited engagement for the ambition of Kristeva's oeuvre. The meaning of the speculative philosophy of law is recovered from its premature reduction in the developments of, and departures from, her thought in contemporary critical engagements with French and German philosophy.

The Return of Mythic Voice in the Aporias of Narcissism: Pleshette DeArmitt's Ethical Idea.Sara Beardsworth - 2015 - Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 23 (2):14-27.details
The ordeal of mourning, being so much harder than any thought its experience may deliver, bears out the impression developed in Julia Kristeva's opening to The Severed Head —that thought is swift. She has recognized as well as anyone the interplay of blindness and insight. Nothing brings all this into starker evidence than the premature death of a loved other, a friend, or a true assistant in life and thought. There is a reminder in this that the new narratives of (...) subjectivity on which Kristeva places a high value, and certainly the long life of meaning in the world, come at the price of the loss and mourning of our loved others. Pleshette DeArmitt's book, The Right to Narcissism: A Case for an Im-possible Self-Love, has given the condition of narcissism an intricate place in this difficult if promising work. (shrink)
Technology, Subjectivity, and the Social Bond.Sara Beardsworth - 2003 - Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal 24 (2):29-57.details
This paper is concerned with giving critical attention to technology and treats technology as a site for interrogating the problem of the social bond in Western cultures. While Sloterdijk and Haraway represent, respectively, Marxist and feminist approaches to this question, it is argued here that the debate needs to pay further attention to the relationship between technology and subjectivity, and that there are two problems of authority which are at stake in thinking through their relationship. These two problems of authority (...) persist, when thinking about technology and subjectivity, due to our inability to think through the fundamental nature of the loss of the other. Turning to psychoanalysis through the work of Freud and Kristeva, we show that the psychoanalytic confrontation with the question of separation has revealed that the loss of an immemorial past is necessary for the possibility of both self-relation and connections with others. More precisely, the loss of a "beginning" in exposure to absolute, immemorial otherness, in which a form of authority is operative, is a condition for adequate social bonding. That is to say, the psychoanalytic attention given to authority has led to the discovery that the very possibility of the social bond is the possibility of loss. (shrink)

Combat pilot, Arotile, quarreled with commanders, may have been murdered – Group
Amb Prince Sixtus Opara July 16, 2020 4 min read
By Prince Sixtus Opara
Arotile
A pan Yoruba group, Apapo O' Odua KOYA, made up of 18 Yoruba groups, has alleged that the late flying officer, Tolulope Arotile who was the first female ever flying Combatant in Nigeria may have been murdered.
AOKOYA in a statement on Tuesday asked the international community to investigate her death. The group said the least it expects is an independent inquiry.
Arotile, who hails from Iffe in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi, was said to have died due to alleged head injuries sustained, in road traffic accident at Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Base Kaduna.
According to the group: "We have very strong reasons to assume that Tolulope Arotile was murdered. We are aware she had altercations with top military commanders before her death and some hated her to a tilt for her brilliance and exploit against Boko Haram and bandits" AOKOYA said in the statement signed by its officials, Captain Abigo Oritsebugbemi (rtd) and its Middle Belt Coordinator, Akeem Meduna.
AOKOYA said the theory that Arotile died in a motor accident inside the Airforce base is a cock and bull story and it is doubtful.
"We want full investigation into this suspicious death. We find it difficult to believe the story based on the information at our disposal.
"How can she have died in a traffic accident right inside the Airforce base in Kaduna?. We have made preliminary findings and all officers who spoke to us could not understand how that could have happened. One officer, her colleague in Kaduna specifically said the case of murder was the strongest motive", AOKOYA said. At the time of her death, she was 23, and one of the youngest fighter pilots in the world.
"There must be an independent enquiry for anyone to be convinced Tolulope Arotile was not murdered. The Fulani hegenomy hated bright officers of Southern origin. Tolu was exceptional and her brilliance was a threat to the establishment." AOKOYA said.
The group recalled that a Yoruba Chief of Airforce, Shittu Alao was murdered in 1969s by the Fulani oligarchy adding that Dr Ademola Adetokunbo who carried out the autopsy was also murdered by the Federal authorities controlled by the Fulani. The Commandant of Nigerian Naval School, Mrs J.O Ogundana was murdered few months ago. Her body was mutilated and packed in a 'Ghana Must Go' bag. In the same manner, Dr Yomi Oniororo a 29 year old officer of the Nigerian Intelligence Agency, (NIA) was murdered in Abuja, 2002 .His body was mutilated. Dare, a senior police officer investigating the murder of Dele Giwa was also assassinated. His senior brother is the popular journalist, Prof Olatunji Dare.
"We are taking records. At the last count, some 413 Yoruba junior and senior Yoruba officers have been murdered by the Fulami oligarchy. Many of them were killed in a 'neat job' that looked like an accident
Last year she completed her training in South Africa and was winged as a combat helicopter pilot.
AOKOYA said it has been reliably informed how Arotile led major onslaught against bandits and armed Islamic fundamentalist. Her sorties led to deaths of several militants and bandits.
"We have been informed that their agents and supporters in the military marked her and only succeeded in setting a trap for her", AOKOYA said adding that her last operation was in the North Central States tagged "Operation GAMA AIKI"in Minna, Niger State where despite rockets fired at her, she succeeded in killing many bandits and fundamentalist.
"The Nigerian authorities are shedding crocodile tears on the murder of Arotile. We promise his murderers that the several cases of murder of Yoruba officers in the Army, Navy or Airforce are being compiled and at the right time when Yoruba Nation emerges, the murderers will face the full weight of the law even if it means abducting them the exact thing Israeli did after the second world war, to those who killed them in concentration camps.
MEANWHILE, the Northern Governors Forum on Thursday expressed shock over the sudden and tragic death of Arotile.
Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, in a statement by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Macham Makut described the late Tolulope as a promising officer, who had demonstrated high sense of loyalty, patriotism and diligence in her service to Nigeria particularly in maintaining peace and security.
Lalong said the testimony of the officer's bravery in the field of combat, especially towards stopping bandits and terrorists from inflicting more harm on Nigerians will remain indelible in the history of the Nigerian Airforce as well as in the minds of Nigerians.

If you're wireframing iOS apps, Sketch 3 is a great option. When you need to turn those mockups into hands-on views for a website or press release, a new plug-in named Magic Mirror can morph your design into any angle or shape you like.
In short, Magic Mirror iterates through all the "Shape" layers (MSShapeGroup) in the current page, and finds all the Artboard-Layer pairs that share the exact same name.
Then it looks into the path (NSBezierPath) and extracts the 4 corner points.
It then hands the content over to Core Image to do Perspective Transformation, and apply the transformed image using Pattern Fill.
The plugin uses the pattern fill method to morph your designs, and allows you to turn them into just about any shape or size, or adjust the viewing angle. The main purpose will be to work app designs into hands-on shots for websites, but if you just want to get weird — Magic Mirror lets you.
Best of all, Magic Mirror is free. If you like it, there's an option to donate $5 on the website.
