Q: How to use fonts in opengl in java? The title pretty much sums it up - its the easiest thing in the
world in C++ and Windows, but Java seems to struggle with this issue.
I would like to stay away from solutions involving loading bitmaps of fonts, and instead try go for a native truetype font loader, if possible. Kerning and antialiasing is quite important in my application.

A: JOGL has a class, TextRenderer, which should do what you want. It accepts a Java "Font" object, and I think you can specify any ttf file for such objects. It does also support antialiasing, I'm not sure what kerning is but probably that too. :)
Unfortunately the JOGL docs are currently... missing. Dunno where they went, hopefully they'll be back soon (in a day or two). Otherwise I would link you to the documentation for the class. Sorry!

A: Use the JOGL/Java 2D bridge: render the font on a texture.
Check out "Java 2D and JOGL"[1]
[1]: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/campbell/archive/2007/01/java_2d_and_jog.html ""

A: Another thing you can do (e.g. if you want full lighting functionality for the text) is construct a GlyphVector from the font and string and use a GLUtessellator to render it as a set of triangles.

A: JOGL is pretty good. I've used Processing (processing.org) before that renders nice text. Yes, C++ and OpenGL under Windows does seem easy as the Font management is different (Linux and MacOSX = Much harder to do text with OpenGL I've found)


30 years ago in Chico, California, Scott Bechhold and Sam MacNeill were working together in a local cabinet shop and felt they had a better way to make high-quality, more affordable custom cabinetry. Excited to branch out on their own, they set up shop in a small barn on the property of Scott's parents, in Durham, California. During those early years, Sam and Scott were among the first to integrate computer aided design programs into their manufacturing. Through their labor and investments in technology, they worked their way into the present home of Oak Ridge Cabinets, a 25,000 square foot metal building complex on the southern fringes of Chico, California. With the additional space, Oak Ridge Cabinets was able to increase production, expand the product line, and currently employs over 30 people in supplying custom cabinets throughout California.
Sam and Scott are continually refining the manufacturing process and in 2008, the desire to provide affordable products to a larger customer base lead them to form FastCabinetDoors.com, the online division of Oak Ridge Cabinets. For both the DIY (do-it-yourself) homeowner and for contractors, FastCabinetDoors.com has become a partner for quality unfinished cabinet doors and drawer fronts across the 48 continental United States. FastCabinetDoors.com features the highest quality unfinished cabinet doors and drawer fronts, with a simple, fast ordering process.

Social Welfare Minister Sylvia Blyden celebrates Eid prayers with muslims ; hails extraordinary religious tolerance in Sierra Leone
June 26, 2017 Publisher and Chief Executive Officer KABS KANU COMMENTARY, Uncategorized 0
Today was another day for me to thank the Almighty for making me to be born in Sierra Leone, one of the most beautiful countries in the world with many lovely aspects its citizens can boast of. One such attribute is that in a World confused by those who misinterpret teachings of their Holy Books to mean they should not tolerate others from different faiths, Sierra Leone's high levels of inter religious acceptance is a source of pride.
I want to thank His Excellency the President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma for not only continuing to consolidate religious tolerance in our country but for taking it to unprecedented heights. I feel so honoured and privileged to be one of the foot soldiers of President Koroma; helping to push his vision for our country into reality.
Today, I want to thank the Muslim Jamaat for allowing me, a Christian government minister, and my entourage of women leaders, to join them in today's Eid-Ul-Fitri Ramadan prayers marking the end of the Muslim Holy Month of Fasting.
As President Koroma's appointed Minister of Social Welfare, Gender & Children's Affairs which oversees religious matters in the country, I visited and was warmly welcomed by Chief Imam Alhaji Hassan Karim and Assistant Chief Imam Alhaji Nazir King of the Jamiatul Atiq Masjid at Davies Street in Fourah Bay, Eastern Freetown.
I decided to worship here as this is one of the mosques along Freetown's Foulah Town and Fourah Bay axis where my great-great grandfather Edward Wilmot Blyden (who died 1912) and his daughter, Madam Isa Blyden (died 1967) regularly prayed and also regularly taught Mohammedan Education despite being of the Christian faith. The Blydens are a very unique family.
I feel honoured today as their scion, to be so warmly welcomed here. As I sang along with the congregation that GOD IS GREAT (Allāhu 'akbar الله أكبر) I lifted my beautiful country up in Prayers that we continue to be a beacon of light insofar as religious tolerance is concerned.
May the Almighty bless us all.
Amen. Ameen.
Hon. Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden

Feng Shui is about balance and harmony in our environments. The bedroom is a very important room (we spend the majority of our day there), so many people naturally ask how to improve their bedroom using color selection according to Feng Shui. As we discuss bedroom colors, it is also imperative to recognize the importance of the other rooms in your house. Enhancing your bedroom without enhancing the other beneficial areas of your home does not provide you with the full benefits of Feng Shui. Feng Shui is about balancing the energy in your complete and total environment.
Don't overdo the bright colors in your bedroom. Bright colors are alive and moving, so the more bright colors that are used, the harder it will be to stay asleep. This also applies to plants and especially water. Plants and water manifest yang energy, and cause the same issues in the bedroom as bright colors. The colors associated with plants and water are green, black, and blue. Bright colors to avoid are reds, strong oranges or bright yellows. Florescent colors are out of the question!
Dark colors (shades of brown) should be used in the décor of the bedroom, but not on the walls. Painting the bedroom walls a dark color might help you sleep, but won't help you feel rejuvenated in the morning. Darker colored décor should be used to the point of tilting the room's ambiance yin, without making you feel like you're party to a funeral. You don't have to just use browns, pick darker colors and designs that are relaxing for you.
In painting the bedroom, using pastel colors is your best bet. The best colors to use depend on the compass direction of the room's location. To determine the compass direction of your home, draw your house's outline on a piece of paper, and split the home into 9 equal sections (3 down, 3 across). Use a compass to find which direction is north, and label each box according to that compass direction (North can be in a corner).
– NE, Center, or SW: Rooms located here should be painted pastel earthy colors, including light shade of yellow.
– NW or W: Rooms located here benefit from metal, so use a shade of white.
– SE or E: The SE and East benefit from the color green, but you may want to only use these colors if the room will be used as a study. Then a shade of green would be perfect. Otherwise, use pastel earthy colors including shades of yellow. White is not helpful here, as it destroys the productive properties of the SE and East. These directions are associated with wealth.
– S: The South benefits from red. If you want to use red here, use it sparingly as too much will cause restlessness in bed. Use shades of white for the walls.
– N: The north benefits from blue and black (water). Since you can't use water, try white instead, as white (metal) will help with the benefits of water without using water.
Feng Shui is about balance and harmony, so using light, pastel colors is your best bet when painting the walls.


Abire used to be a local concoction man, a role passed down from his father and his grandfather before that. Concoction men are traditional herbalists in communities, who are called on to determine whether a child could be a spirit.
Abire believed in his practice for a long time and was sure that he was doing the right thing, by ridding his community of bad spirits who he and others believed would bring bad luck if they were not sent "back to the bush" where they were believed to have originated from.
Abire is now a Community Campaigner and huge advocate for the safety of children. He works with his fellow community members to educate them on children's rights and the danger of the practices surrounding the Spirit Child Phenomenon. AfriKids have helped him to find an alternative livelihood so that he can continue to support his family. He now works in the meat business selling pork and transporting pigs to Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region in southern Ghana. His business is thriving and he's been able to support all of his children through both junior and senior high school.
It is important that the children of former concoction men attend school and gain a quality education to help them towards employment, so they can break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves.

But when we talk about calculus in the dental clinic we are talking about a hardened layer of dental plaque. "Petrified plaque"
While you can remove plaque from your teeth with a tooth brush, calculus needs to be removed by the dental team with specialised instruments.
Calculus is unhealthy to leave on your teeth - although most people are fairly unaware of its presence at all! Calculus traps bacteria and is a roughened surface on the tooth making it hard for you to remove plaque. The bacteria and roughness causes inflammation of the gums and bone loss.
The most common place to see calculus in the mouth is behind the lower anterior teeth. All these photos are of lower front teeth. This is because this area gets a 'flood' of saliva from the duct which is under the tongue.
Saliva can be rich in minerals which help protect your teeth from the acids of our diets, but it also helps build up calculus if any plaque is present on the teeth.
Getting your teeth cleaned regularly helps keep this 'calculus' under control and protects your gums and bone from damage.


To support the various film and sheet applications such as the pharmaceutical industry, Macro Plastic offers an extensive range of films and sheets specially formulated for general-purpose thermoform / vacuum forming packaging.
Thermoforming is a manufacturing process in which a plastic film/sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The film/sheet is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that it can be stretched into or onto a mold and cooled to a finished shape.
Thermoforming differs from injection molding, blow molding, rotational molding, and other forms of processing plastics. Films and sheets manufactured via this process are ideal for clamshells, face-seal blisters, trays, display, and other contoured shapes.
Vacuum forming on the other hand is a simplified version of thermoforming, whereby a film/sheet of plastic is heated to a forming temperature, stretched onto or into a single-surface mold, and held against the mold by applying vacuum between the mold surface and the film/sheet.
This vacuum forming process can be used to make most product packaging, speaker casings and even car dashboards.


Ah, the end of Summer has finally arrived...or so they say. Anyway, it's time for sales! Yay!
So, in celebration of this ending, we will be having a little sale at Stef and Jess' studio in Woodstock tomorrow (Wedneday)! It's also gonna double up as Stef and Jess' studio warming party. Marietjie from Skermunkil blogged about it too...she has more pictures in hers. Pop in for a glass of wine and to buy some rad gifts. I'll be there selling my bots and pieces AND I'll be having a bargain box, oooh exciting! Cash only please.


A child's kimono, much like an adult kimono, is a robe-like garment worn tied at the waist with a wide belt known as an obi. Where older women often wear somber colors and muted designs, children's kimonos are often brightly colored with bold designs. During festival times, children wear all the same accessories including obi belts, shoes, and traditional hair accessories for girls.
Just like adults have a variety of traditional Japanese clothing based upon the weather, marital status, and special events, there is a wide variety of children's clothing as well.
Omiyamairi is a Japanese baby's first visit to their local temple. The ceremony generally takes place between birth and 100 days old. Some babies wear a white, lacy kimono similar to a baptism gown. Another popular style is a brightly colored kimono which ties around the baby and the person carrying the child.
This is a shorter winter coat worn by both boys and girls. It includes a light batting for added warmth, much like a quilt or stuffed jacket. These are generally make it much easier to dress a child and are worn during cooler weather.
This style of kimono is easily recognizable by its long, flowing sleeves which may often reach the floor. Girls often wear this formal kimono during their coming of age visit to the temple around age 20.
This style is a short jacket, often emblazoned with the family crest, which is worn over a kimono. While girls wear kimonos with flowing sleeves for formal occasions, boys often wear a haori.

Awakenings: The Living Dead
[A reflection I did on a retreat for juniors over the weekend. I tried to type it up what I said word for word. My original was just bullet points.]
Zombies, they're the new face of horror for our generation. But where did these horrific creatures come from? How did they enter into the American mind? In short, zombies came from West Africa and Haitian culture. In Haiti a person, usually a low life, was administered a powder that induced a coma. They were then buried, exhumed by a witchdoctor (who was a kind of 'zombie-master), and used as a mindless slave. The word zombie comes from a west African word "zumbi' which translates into English as "fetish". Fetish – An inanimate object considered to be inhabited by a spirit.
Like I said, Zombies are the new face of horror. They can't be avoided. We've seen them in the recent Resident Evil movies. In recent years zombies have be the main focus in Dawn of the Dead, the spin off parody of Dawn of the Dead – Shaun of the Dead, A South Park episode where Kenny turns half the city into Zombies, going back even further there was the Evil Dead series and finally the original Night of the Living Dead. But movies aren't the only place we find zombies taking center stage in horror. In video games, zombies are always a favorite kill -- like in the Resident Evil games that are hugely popular. Recently in print there has been "Z Wars" and "How to Survive a Zombie Attack".
But why are they the new horror? What is it about zombies that terrify us? Notice something interesting; even in the comedies, a zombie is something a person does not want to be. Nobody wants to be a zombie. Even Hollywood, who has the ability to make desirable and glorify all kinds of dark things, can't find a way to glamorize these creatures. So as the clip is playing, I really want you to think. What are so terrifying and horrific about zombies?
-Play movie to 20 min. mark. Just after the dead zombie is lit on fire. Make sure you see the mob.-
Let us think about the movie for a min. Where do the zombies come from? If we watched the entire movie we would eventually learn that some kind of technology went wrong, it ran amuck, and radiation from this technology is creating these mindless creatures that have a vacant expression with an eeri uniformity. All the zombies might as well be the same. Besides what they wear, they are the same. At the sart of the movie we don't know or learn much about the zombies. We only know that they want to attack people not like them. Think for a minute, how do you use technology? It is everywhere it can't be avoided. Do you use it, or do we abuse it? Do you own technology, or do we let it own us? Do you let technology block our growth: spiritual, physical, mental and emotion? Have we let technology turn us into zombies to the point that our thoughts are occupied by the most simple of thought?
In our culture symbols are everywhere and at the same time are full of meaning and meaning less. In the movie we see the old-symbolism losing its power – with the lose of the old symbolism so goes the person on their way to being a zombie. In the movie we can say that the radio competes with religious ritual. John for instance seems more interested in the radio than delivering flowers to his father's grave. John misses the importance of placing flowers on a grave and praying. "Praying is for church" is what he tells his sister. It is appropriate that John is the first victim in the movie. The veil that separates him from being a zombie (the living-dead) is pretty thins as it is. How about us? Have we amused, entertained, or stimulated ourselves to the point that we can't see the depth of things (like John who doesn't see the deeper meaning of visiting his father's grave or praying. He thinks in terms of only time and money.) Do we miss the inner and spiritual dimensions? Mass? Church and family? Are we living a one dimensional existence that makes us living dead?
Even zombies are able of organization and massed frenzied activity. Like us . . . we can be driven zombies . . . assembled in numbers for no reason. Just a mindless group not thinking and not caring about what they are doing. Look even closer.
Zombies are weak. The zombie's strength lies in numbers. Individually they can be beaten by those who are the furthest from being the living dead. Later in the movie, we discover that the only real purpose of the zombie is to make others like themselves. What if someone woke up? What if a zombie became unzombified? What if someone stays alive? The one who stays alive becomes like a fool to others. They become dangerous to the zombies: unpredictable. Lonely in a crowd. A stranger in one's own house. A stranger among old friends.
What frightens me about zombies is that they have no will of their own. Once a person becomes a zombie their will is taken from them and they become less human. To look at it from a scientific perspective, it is like a step back in evolution. The person who becomes a zombie become more animal like. Their end it to feed and reproduce. One of the reasons I like the older version of this movie is that it is very hard to tell the difference between a zombie and a normal person. The zombie is often mistaken as a normal person. John and his sisters did this at the very beginning. If you went up to the top of the highest building in the city, how many zombies would you see? Would you be able to tell the zombies apart from the living? How many zombies have you walked next to on a daily basis?
Christ says in the Gospels to "let the dead bury the dead." That is, let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead -- bodies with a dead soul, like the zombie who has no spirit. Though we can't be the living dead, but are you certain that you aren't the dead who is living? Are you certain you aren't a zombie lumbering through life with a glazed expression looking to satisfy your stomach and to satisfy that urge to merge?

Defending Wakko's Wish
With the Animaniacs set to return on Hulu, let's take a look at the original series finale Wakko's Wish. Trading in the variety show structure to encompass all the characters in a cohesive plot, it isn't fondly remembered by those who lookback on it. People are often confused by the dramatic direction this movie took despite its roots in comedy. But for a series finale, it wanted to be more than an extended episode, taking risks on a grander scale, which paid off for their last adventure. Here's why Wakko's Wish deserves to be commended for its ambitions.
The town Acme Falls is under the tyranny of King Salazar the Pushy (Paxton Whitehead), overtaxing the citizens to the point of poverty. This affects orphans Yakko, Wakko, and Dot (Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell and Tress MacNeille), who live on the streets since the orphanage shut down. Wakko vents to a wishing star one night, which falls to earth and will grant the first person who touches it one wish. It's now a race between the citizens of Acme Falls to the wishing star, including Dr. Scrachansniff and Hello Nurse (Rob Paulsen and Tress MacNeille), Slappy and Skippy Squirrel (Sherri Stoner and Nathan Ruger), Pinky and the Brain (Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche), The Goodfeathers (John Mariano, Maurice LaMarche, and Chick Vennera), Buttons and Mindy (Frank Welker and Nancy Cartwright), Rita and Runt (Bernadette Peters and Frank Welker) and the King's puppets, Baron Von Plotz and Constable Ralph (Frank Welker).
King Salazar (Right) consulting with his puppets, Baron Von Plotz (Middle) and Constable Ralph (Left).
Around the early 2000's, many animated shows were producing theatrical films following the success of The Rugrats Movie, as evident of YouTuber RebelTaxi's analysis on the situation. Regardless of quality, the constant complaint everyone had was that these movies were just longer episodes with a budget. Wakko's Wish takes all the develop from the series and adds more emotional stakes to this final outing, not just opting for the show's traditional formula.
RebelTaxi's video cover how The Rugrats Movie changed the animation landscape.
Despite a large cast occupying eighty minutes, there's enough time to flesh out everyone's desires and personalities as they race each other towards the star. The Warners have a better sense of connection as they play off one another, yet still support each other through thick and thin, especially with Dot who needs an operation. Side characters like The Goodfeathers, Pinky, Brain, Buttons, and Mindy are put to the ultimate test for their goals with hilarious results, keeping with the comedic spirit. At the same time, King Salazar makes for an intimidating obstacle as well as a worthy comic foil when the Warners eventually resort to their traditional antics to drive him crazy.
All the voice actors from Tress MacNeille to the great Frank Welker juggle multiple roles at once, and it proves their versatility, both comedic and dramatic near the end. It's also refreshing to see a comedy with older pop culture references that encourage the audience to check out the original material, like Citizen Kane and Jerry Lewis: a much needed break from the memes and social media satire that's now a dime a dozen. The references work even if you don't know what's being satirized, like the Time Warner merger. Perhaps there could've been more jokes in the story, but aside from that it's the kind of ending that Game of Thrones would sell it soul for. It keeps the humor, put more focus on the characters, and adds the necessary emotional stakes in order for us to root for them one last time (at least before the reboot's announcement).
If only all characters got their wishes.
The animation is just as fluid and perfectly timed, with each individual frame carrying a new expression for any situation. It aides the slapstick that leaves characters with migraines and sometimes shifts the angles to show off its bigger budget. Spielberg is very fond of animation and spared no expense in making sure the quality from the show was kept in tact for this movie.
The late Richard Stone.
Finally, the music connects all the talent in the animation, voice acting, and writing. Richard Stone is often considered the spiritual successor to Looney Tunes composer, Carl Stalling, assigning each action one musical note. However several reviews claim that Stone is mimicking the Disney musical style of Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Stephen Schwartz, rather than mocking it like the parody song Just the Same Old Heroine.
Just the Same Old Heroine
Ironically the same studio that criticized Disney's "formulaic" approach to musicals would try to emulate the "same old heroine" storyline in 1998.
At the time, animation studios were trying to emulate the Disney formula when it proved to be a box-office hit. Films like Thumbelina, The Swan Princess, The King and I, and Warner Brothers' own Quest For Camelot tried copying Disney's success only to lose millions of dollars when the public realized how corporate these knock-offs were. But Wakko's Wish along with South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut carved their own musical identity. These songs incorporate both the quick speed and pinpoint timing Warner Brothers cartoons are most famous for. Thus, they are more than just Disney copycats as the notes and lyrics waltz with one another with the occasional innuendo thrown in. The highlight is The Wishing Star. Adapting the Hungarian Rhapsody Number Two by Franz List, this starts out slow, but gradually picks up speed as the characters attempt to outrace each other. All culminating in a finale that could bring List himself back from the grave. The score also allows more pantomime moments to break up the high energy musical number and allow the comedy to tell jokes without utter a word. For his final contribution to Animaniacs before succumbing to pancreatic cancer, Richard Stone's score and songs reach their peak in this adventure.
The standout musical number, The Wishing Star, adapting Franz List's Hungarian Rhapsody Number Two…
…A common musical piece in animation as covered by Mr. Coat.
For all these reasons and more, Wakko's Wish is as an ambitious finale that caps off the original series brilliantly. The story's emotional stakes break the boundaries of the television narrative, the voice acting evolves the performances while also aiding the memorable songs, and best of all these well rounded characters get enough time to be funny and relatable before going out on a high note. It's a shame this was released straight to video after the Christmas season given how much the film's environment evokes a holiday vibe. Thankfully it's available to watch on digital services, so anyone who missed out years ago is given another chance to re-discover it as well as introduce it to the current generation. And whatever quality the reboot reaches, the original run of the Warner siblings and their finale will remain an outstanding landmark in animation history.
Pros: Versatile voice cast, Richard Stone's score, diverse character personalities, high quality animation, emotional stakes, older pop culture references
Cons: less humor

The Week in Crowdfunding, August 10, 2012: The Oculus Rift VR gaming headset shatters its goal with $1.5 million+ raised so far
Editor Posted On August 10, 2012
Standout technology projects on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and other crowdfunding destinations:
Oculus has raised more than $1.5 million in less than 10 days on Kickstarter for its Oculus Rift immersive virtual reality headset for gamers. It has shattered its goal of $250K via 6,424 backers. With 21 days left to go in the campaign, this may be a record-breaker. Oculus Rift Kickstarter Page
Speaking of record-breakers, video game console Ouya reached the end of its Kickstarter campaign yesterday, raising nearly $9 million. Its original goal of $950K now seems modest. The trick at this point will be to deliver a product worthy of all that money and all of those pre-orders. Ouya Kickstarter Page
Launched in late July, FreedomPop's Kickstarter campaign for its iPod sleeve that purports to turn the device into a free 4G wireless iPhone is moving forward at a healthy clip. So far, it's raised more than $39K of its $100K goal with 34 days to go, reaching the 30 percent mark—often cited as a predictor of success. FreedomPop Kickstarter Page

Basketball Is 'Life' To First-Round Draft Prospect Malachi Richardson
by: Warren Shaw June 22, 2016
In talking with Malachi Richardson, it becomes clear Kobe Bryant's influence is embedded like html code – you know it's there but you can't quite fully understand every single line. Richardson is admittedly a disciple of sorts of the Mamba, but he isn't at all abrasive in any way like the teenage Lower Merion product was entering his rookie season. Instead, Richardson shows an appropriate confidence and wisdom of self. He has and will continue to do things his way, but his way undoubtedly includes relying on sound advice from others who have come before him and his strong familial structure.
Richardson showed immense promise during his one season at Syracuse, and his name continues to sneak up prospect rankings as the 2016 NBA Draft quickly approaches. While basketball might be his claim to future fame, he's acutely aware that the avenues the game has opened for him can aid in expediting his maturity off the floor.
On a late spring evening after further preparation for the next and most important step in his career, the ultra-confident yet firmly-grounded Richardson sat down with DIME to discuss his road to the NBA.
Dime: You are from Jersey. What was it like growing up there and honing your basketball skills?
Malachi Richardson: It was great. I started playing basketball when I was about 4 years old and my mom was the main one really who put the ball in my hands. I always played up in the local leagues and ever since then things took off for me—especially when I got to high school. I was able to play on the AAU circuit with Team Final based out of Philly and from there I was able to get to Syracuse.
At what point of your basketball ascension did you realize that you might to give it a go as NBA player?
Growing up as a young'n I always wanted to play in the NBA. My parents – my whole family, really – always used to watch basketball. Watching the TV with them I always thought that I want to do that one day. I want to be there on TV playing. I grew up a Lakers fan and big Kobe Bryant fan. I think that was the person that really inspired me. Basketball has always been my first choice; I've just always had a love for the game.
Malachi, you're living kind of reckless out there in Jersey rooting for the Lakers. How did that come to pass?
Man, I don't know. I have no clue. Growing up I always watched Kobe, loved the Lakers back when Shaq was there. But I was just such a big Kobe fan. I watched his every move even though Philly and A.I (Allen Iverson) was right there, I always had a thing for Kobe Bryant.
So playing in New Jersey, competitive AAU and Syracuse you've come across some dynamic environments to play in. What's been the toughest basketball environment that you've encountered thus far?
I wouldn't say there have been too many crazy tough ones but maybe back in high school when I played against Linden High that was pretty tough. In college playing at Pitt was pretty tough. The Final Four was different playing in front of 75,000 people. That's just not your average amount of people at a basketball game on any level. So I wouldn't say it was tough but it was definitely different.
What's the hardest life lesson you've learned both on and off the court?
Probably just that I'll never be perfect and I won't be able to make everyone happy – whether it's a decision made on the floor or off of it. You are always going to have doubters and haters but you have to able to live with yourself. I've definitely learned that I have to be happy within myself. I think that's what I've learned so far.
So is that an accumulation of life experiences that brought you to that or did something happen in particular?
It's really just been growing up and playing basketball. Whether it was not going to the local high school, transferring schools, going to Syracuse or leaving Syracuse after my freshman year. It's just a bunch of different things and you aren't going to please everyone. I've just learned that you have to make yourself happy first and foremost.
Playing at Syracuse put you on a big stage as a freshman. How do you think you handled your season there?
I think I had a really good year. I had some ups and downs but I think I handled the adversity very well. As a freshman helping my team get to the Final Four and doing things a lot of people wish they could have…I think I had great year at Syracuse. I learned a lot from teammates and my coaching staff.
A lot of guys don't like to admit it but did you envision being a one-and-done player?
Going into college my goal was always to become a professional player. I wasn't too focused on if it would happen in a year or maybe even after two. I just wanted to go in and play as well as I could, and I knew everything would take care of itself. It just so happened that things fell the way they did this year and I was able to leave after one year.
You are entering the NBA draft as kind of a hot prospect as your stock seems to be rising. I don't how much you pay attention to that stuff but what type of player will a team be getting if they draft you?
A very confident player. A great scorer. A defender. Just a total team player. I try not to pay attention to the different mock drafts and analysts. I can't really worry about that. I just have to go out there and do what I got to do.
What skill do you have that will translate immediately on the next level?
I would definitely say being able to shoot the ball. People may look at the numbers from college but I don't think that's really going to matter. I'll be able to work on my craft all day every day, especially now since I don't have to worry about class. I think everything will translate and I will be able to show a lot more than I did in college.
So if the shooting is what will translate what is the thing that you want to work on the most entering the draft?
I really just want to work on everything but I definitely want to work on my body – get a little bit bigger. I want to continue to eat healthy and just become a stronger player. I want to work on finishing at the basket and learning more about the game. I've been watching a lot more film than when I started.
You mentioned earlier that Kobe was your favorite player growing up. Do you have any current ties to the league or any players that you can call on to give you advice and help you through this process?
Oh yeah. I talk to [recent Syracuse alums] Chris McCullough and Rakeem Christmas very often. I am always talking to those two guys. They've been through the draft process and I can go to them and ask them anything.
If you wouldn't mind sharing, what's just one piece of advice either of them have given you that you've taken to heart as you prepare for the draft?
I was out to dinner with Chris McCullough one night and he was just asking me what I was going to do. I told him I was stuck in between on whether I wanted to enter [the draft] or not. He told me that you just have to go. You just have to do what you think is best for you and your family whether it's staying in school or leaving. But make sure your decision is based on what makes you happy, not everyone else. I think that actually helped me out when deciding to enter.
So McCullough, Christmas and your parents have all helped you. Who else do you trust with just giving you good life advice as you continue to mature into a young man growing up in the world today?
I can always go to my family, anyone in my family is always there for me. Sometimes it's my brother or my sister, but I've always been able to talk to them. Even my AAU coaches. I've grown up with those guys. They've seen me grow up as a middle schooler to the man I am today. I know I'll always be able to talk them because they've helped me out a lot too.
It's great to have a large support system. There is some push and pull when you get to the league though and guys are often forced to cut down as new hangers-on come their way. What advice have you received regarding that and how to avoid the pitfalls that come with new people at times?
Man, just always keep your circle tight. If they weren't with you when you didn't really have anything or nobody knew who you were, that means something. If they've been there since day one then they are for you. If they've been there through the ups and downs and the bad shooting games, then that means a lot.
As you look to enter the league are there goals you've set for yourself as a rookie? It's tough especially not knowing where you'll be specifically, but is there anything that you want to achieve in your rookie season?
Honestly, I just want to be able to go out there and get minutes and become the best player I can be. I want to learn as much as possible and become a better player and person. I think me growing off the floor is just as important as me growing on the floor. I just want to be around a great organization where I can learn from my vets.
Finish this sentence for me. Basketball is…
Life. Definitely life. My world revolves around basketball. I've always learned to not let basketball use you, always use basketball.
Well said. So how will you end this next one? Family is…
Everything. Family is always going to be there for you.

The original photograph was shot one Christmas between 1996 and 2001, down on the farm, with the key word being "original." Any one who has viewed my photos over the years might say, "I've seen this one before," however, they would be mistaken.
I must admit that thanks to a marvelous thing called digital photography, some drastic improvements to the original photograph were made. I'm no magician, but like one not giving away the secrets of his or her tricks, I will not disclose the changes that were performed. If someone were to speculate, I would confirm his or her guess. It's not that I do not want to disclose any secrets, as I have already shown both before and after photos to several friends. Though the changes made were very simple to do, however, the end results were quite impressive.
I think the changes made would make Ansel Adams sit back and go, "Wow!" In no way am I comparing myself to Mr. Adams, I just think he would be amazed by the technology. Just imagine what the master could have done with digital photography.

Anne Charrier est une actrice française, née le  à Ruffec en Charente, et originaire de Fontclaireau dans ce même département.

Contrairement à une rumeur tenace sur internet, Anne Charrier n'est aucunement la petite-fille de Brigitte Bardot. Sa grand-mère paternelle est Albertine Charrier.

Révélée au grand public par la série télévisée Maison close, entre 2010 et 2013 sur Canal+, elle partage sa carrière entre le théâtre, le cinéma et la télévision.

Depuis, elle est une tête d'affiche régulière des productions diffusées sur les chaînes de France Télévisions, notamment avec le rôle-titre de la série Marjorie et le premier personnage féminin de la série Chefs.

Biographie

Débuts et rôles secondaires (années 2000)
Anne Charrier naît le  à Ruffec (Charente). Elle commence sa carrière d'actrice en 1999 au théâtre dans La Nuit des rois de Shakespeare. Elle enchaîne ensuite avec d'autres pièces, tout en apparaissant dans diverses séries et téléfilms français(e)s - H (2002), Le Prix de l'honneur (2003), Avocats & Associés (2002 et 2004), Central Nuit (2004), jusqu'à finalement décrocher un rôle récurrent dans une série, La Crim'. Elle apparait dans 18 épisodes diffusés entre 2005 et 2006.

Elle apparait ensuite dans d'autres séries plus exposées : David Nolande, Léa Parker (2006), Joséphine, ange gardien (2007), ou encore Julie Lescaut (2008). Durant ces années, elle tient aussi le premier rôle d'un film, Paid (2006), un thriller noir à petit budget, qui passe inaperçu.

Révélation sur Canal + (2008-2011)
L'année 2008 marque un tournant : elle intègre la distribution principale d'une nouvelle série, Scalp, une ambitieuse série de Canal + réalisée par Xavier Durringer sur le monde de la bourse. Le programme ne dépasse cependant pas huit épisodes. Elle tient aussi un petit rôle au cinéma dans le polar MR 73, d'Olivier Marchal. Elle apparait parallèlement dans d'autres séries de TF1 et France 2 : Les Tricheurs, Femmes de loi, Duvall & Moretti.

En 2009, elle tient un rôle récurrent dans une nouvelle série, Ligne de Feu, dédiée à la vie de pompiers. Elle apparait dans cinq des huit épisodes produits. Parallèlement, elle participe à trois épisodes de la série centrée sur des jeunes à peine diplômés, La vie est à nous et tient le rôle d'une jolie institutrice dans le film Une semaine sur deux (et la moitié des vacances scolaires), d'Ivan Calbérac.

L'année 2010 marque un second tournant : elle conclut deux rôles récurrents dans RIS police scientifique (2 épisodes au total) et la nouveauté Mes amis, mes amours, mes emmerdes... (11 épisodes), mais surtout intègre la distribution principale d'une nouvelle série dramatique de Canal +, Maison Close. Elle y joue Vera, une prostituée de 35 ans en fin de carrière. Sa performance est saluée par la critique, et elle continuera à tenir ce rôle durant encore deux saisons, diffusées entre 2011 et 2013.

À côté, elle va enchaîner les rôles secondaires au cinéma : la comédie romantique L'Art de séduire, le thriller policier RIF (2011), les comédies dramatiques La Stratégie de la poussette et Mes héros (2012), et apparait dans deux des six épisodes de Clash, dédiée à la vie de pré-adolescents.

Durant ces années, elle revient aussi activement au théâtre : en 2011, elle joue dans Au moment de la nuit, sur une mise en scène de Nicolas Briançon ; en 2012, elle retrouve le metteur en scène pour Volpone.

Confirmation sur France Télévisions (depuis 2013)

En 2013, alors que Maison Close se conclut au bout de seulement deux saisons, elle apparait dans trois autres séries : la thriller Profilage (TF1), la familiale Fais pas ci, fais pas ça (France 2) et la policière Cherif (France 2). Elle tient aussi un petit rôle dans le thriller Le Jour attendra d'Edgar Marie.

En 2014, elle s'installe durablement sur le service public télévisuel, avec deux personnages réguliers. Tout d'abord, elle retrouve le réalisateur Ivan Calbérac pour le premier rôle d'un téléfilm pour France 2 écrit par Mona Achache, Marjorie. Parallèlement, pour la même chaîne, elle décroche le second rôle régulier de sa carrière dans la série culinaire de Chefs, avec Clovis Cornillac. La première saison de six épisodes est diffusée en 2015.

La même année, elle tient le premier rôle de la pièce de théâtre Chambre froide, mais apparait aussi au cinéma dans des rôles plus développés que d'habitude : le biopic Je compte sur vous, de Pascal Elbé, et la comédie dramatique chorale On voulait tout casser, de Philippe Guillard. Enfin, elle revient pour le développement en série du téléfilm Marjorie. Un troisième épisode est diffusé en 2016.

En 2016, elle revient dans la seconde saison de Chefs, qui compte huit épisodes, mais dont les audiences déçoivent France 2. Et sur France 3, elle tient le premier rôle féminin du téléfilm comique L'Entreprise, adapté d'une pièce de théâtre de Pierre Palmade.

Au cinéma, elle joue dans la comédie Marseille, de Kad Merad, la comédie dramatique historique Les Enfants de la chance, de Malik Chibane, et participe enfin à la comédie à petit budget L'Invitation, réalisée par l'acteur Michaël Cohen. Enfin, elle joue au théâtre de la Comédie des Champs-Élysées dans La Rivière, sur une mise en scène de Jérémie Lippmann.

En 2017, elle tient le premier rôle d'un téléfilm Prêtes à tout, de Thierry Petit, qui est récompensé au Festival du Film d'Alpe d'Huez, et lui vaut le prix de la meilleure interprétation féminine au Festival de la fiction TV de La Rochelle.

La même année, elle tient un second rôle au cinéma dans la comédie décalée Crash Test Aglaé, d'Éric Gravel, et au théâtre, elle est à l'affiche d'une adaptation de En attendant Bojangles, de Olivier Bourdeaut, sur une mise en scène de Victoire Berger-Perrin.

En mai 2018, elle tient le rôle principal de la mini-série de France 2, Maman a tort, une adaptation du roman éponyme de Michel Bussi réalisée par François Velle.

En 2020, elle rejoint le casting de la série Peur sur le lac, sur TF1. Elle tient le rôle de Manon Carrère.

A board member of Vanguard Culture since 2014, Chi has applied her talents as a photographer toward content management for Vanguard Culture's Instagram and Facebook pages, in addition to being the lead contributor to the artist studio visit series: Poetic License.

The Veteran Medical Neighborhood Consortium (the "Neighborhood") is a space for Veterans and their families to locate businesses that are welcoming and supportive of them as customers, clients, patients, guests, stakeholders, employees, or members.
Many Veteran - focused organizations share statistics and information, but do not have resources to mitigate or solve challenges that Veterans and their families face. For organizations that provide a specific service, many are focused on the singular item and are not able to account for other aspects that also likely play a role in the health outcomes of Veteran and their families.
Large gaps exist between Veterans and their awareness, knowledge, and understanding of their benefits, resources, and services. These gaps limit their ability to access and utilize the help they need. The Veteran Medical Neighborhood Consortium exists to bridge Veterans to those who can meet their needs. The Neighborhood also provides a direct line for companies and organizations to build their consumer base through support of specific populations. Businesses from all industries that may interact with Veterans or that lend their support to the Veteran community are welcome to join the Neighborhood.
Neighborhood Benefits for Businesses and Organizations*
Increased visibility: space to showcase services or market events
Direct access to targeted consumers

The VHWF continues its efforts to grow and enrich the Veteran Medical Neighborhood Consortium who are aligned with our cause, purpose and belief that Americans must deliver on their promise to care for those men, women, and families who have borne the battle.
If you are not yet a Neighbor and your organization has an interest in a partnership with the Foundation, please complete our partnership contact form. We are excited to welcome you to the neighborhood and look forward to meeting you soon.

This nonflammable, R-410A replacement refrigerant has received a provisional number and a preliminary A1 designation from ASHRAE, one stipulation needed to bring the product to market.
This ASHRAE program has bestowed more than $110,000 this year to fund 25 HVAC&R student-led projects at higher education institutions around the globe.
This new capability provides a quick energy analysis of a building's energy performance, helping to identify whether that building is achieving its design potential.
K-12 school buildings have a new resource to help them cost effectively achieve advanced levels of energy savings.
Spanning nine categories, these ASHRAE awards recognize members' contributions and achievements to the HVAC&R industry.
Changes to ductwork sealing practices and expanded ozone-friendly refrigerants are on the horizon.
The Building Energy Quotient Portal provides a faster, more automated approach to receive a Building EQ Performance Score.
The winners and finalists in 10 HVACR categories will be recognized in January 2018 at the AHR Expo in Chicago, IL.
Until September 11, facility professionals and others can weigh in on Guideline 12-2000, a companion document to ASHRAE Standard 188.
In an inaugural address, the new ASHRAE president announced the theme of his term will be: Extending Our Community.
Released toward the end of 2016, the revised ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 includes several significant lighting modifications.

Microsoft is launching a limited-time iPad trade-in offer in its brick-and-mortar Microsoft Stores.
Microsoft is kicking up a notch its competition with Apple's iPad with a new, limited time trade-in offer.
"Trade in your iPad, Get a min. $200 gift card," according to the deal, outlined on the Microsoft Online store site. The gift card may be used towards the purchase of a Microsoft Surface or other products available through the Microsoft Store.
The deal actually kicked off September 5 and runs until October 27, 2013. According to the fine print, the deal is available in "select Microsoft retail stores in US (including Puerto Rico) and Canada" but isn't available online.
The qualifying trade-in devices are "gently used" iPad 2,3 or 4s.
Microsoft has been stepping up its focus on Apple as the main target for Windows 8-based devices, including its own Surfaces, as well as select OEM devices. Microsoft has been emphasizing the business-readiness of Windows 8 devices, as well as their lower prices vis-a-vis iPads with a series of recent ads. Microsoft launched a back-to-school-focused anti-iPad ad earlier this summer.
Best Buy ran its own $200-off iPad trade-in promotion earlier this summer.
