Reasonable size of a sci-fi game planetary system
I have developed a 2D space trading game, yet in the final stage of the development of the game engine, I am struggling to find the optimal size of my planetary system(s) and the maximum velocity of my spaceship. Setting the correct dimensions is crucial for the further development of the project, as it lays the foundation for many elements, technology and story line. I encountered a few shortcomings during the worldbuilding stage and I would appreciate any help with it.
How can I creatively reason to a player an imposed speed limit of his or her spaceship, given that in reality with constant acceleration a spaceship is only limited by the speed of light? I chose to limit the maximum velocity of a vessel, as it otherwise becomes (technically) impractical to engage with other spaceship in a (dogfight) combat.
Ultimately related to speed, how can I determine the ideal size of an average planetary system (i.e. usually one star and planets in orbits), the number of planets and the time it could take on average to travel from a planet in the outer orbit to a planet closer to the sun, both in game time and real time? Ideally I would like the game to feel realistic and exciting to get across the planetary system, yet not feel too boring with longer periods of nothing happening. Currently I have set 1 (real) minute minute to be 1 (game) hour; what is a reasonably good conversion ratio?
I would like the trade to be challenging. However, if people can simply see the prevailing prices on each planet beforehand, there is not much challenge for finding the optimal trade. I can cut the communication but then how can I reason to a player that they can only see the prevailing prices of goods when they visit a planet, however, not when flying in space? Is there any other way to make trade more challenging and reason it to the player?
Notes: (1) Players control a ship or even a fleet of ships using mostly their mouse, something similar to that that (early demo of my game). (2) There will be asteroids to visit that can be mined etc. (3) I want to include around 200 AI players per planetary system, but can technically go up to as many as 2000.
Edit: To narrow the scope down, I though I will provide a little bit more info on the game so far--what it can do, what it can't and what I can implement.
A key element of the game is that it contains an entirely simulated real-time economy with prices that are determined by supply and demand through AI generated traders and human players. There is a plan to include a interplanetary stock market, derivatives, commodities and the possibility to mine asteroids and build factories on planets that transform commodities in more complex products.
In terms of propulsion technology, there will be two essential methods to get across. The first is within a planetary system by means of normal propulsion such as nuclear fusion, solar sails, anti-matter, impulse etc. This will be used for interplanetary exploration, trade and sometimes fights. There will be RPG/Adventure elements such as exploring ancient civilizations, galactic phenomena, nebulas etc.
The other propulsion technology is enabling interstellar flight. The current working idea is that ships can enter a higher dimensional plane by creating a temporary rift in space. A ship then enters into a (nearly) higher spatial dimension where it is possible to travel light years in a relatively short time (e.g. days). As mentioned, this technology is independent from the first interplanetary propulsion and it only works when there are no major gravitational disturbances around the ship such as planets, asteroids or other ships. So you need to be flying a bit out of the planetary system to activate it and therefore it won't be possible to escape from a fight or as long there are objects around at a certain radius.
Other ship technologies include different type of energy generators, shields, weapons, probes, radars, scanners. The ship is capable to have a fight, but not just dumb-down clicking around and about. With the correct speed it should rather feel tactical despite being in real time. It may take a minute to take another ship down, and therefore fights are not be overly frequent but if one wishes to engage in more fight than rpg/trade, that's up to them. As there will be RPG elements, gaining experience will increase maneuverability, aim accuracy etc., to make fights even more interesting.
With regards to the story line. The current working version envisages that earth experienced an attack from an unknown force and while being transported out from the solar system with a small vessel (as slave/prisoner), there was an unknown energy burst on the vessel and you find yourself in a different star system with all but you dead. You manage to get out of your cell and learn to take control of the severely damaged ship and get to what looks like a space station. While this seems not to original, what people will realize during the game, that your ship not only had been transported hundreds of light years away, but also around 7 years back in time. So, in a time frame of seven years, you can explore the reasons behind this attack and prevent it from happening by means of either becoming very powerful individual (trade+diplomacy) or tactical combat (up to controlling a fleet to fight against the invading force).

$\begingroup$ HDE. The Edit is misleading. I am asking for a solar system not stellar system. The difference is that a stellar system is according to Wiki: "A star system or stellar system is a small number of stars that orbit each other, bound by gravitational attraction." That's not what I have and originally asked for as I am looking for a world around one star (solar system). $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 0:03
$\begingroup$ "Solar system" is misleading, too, because it refers specifically to our system - which these systems clearly are not. Would "planetary system" be better? $\endgroup$ – HDE 226868♦ Oct 27 '15 at 0:06
$\begingroup$ It looks like you have at least three questions here. One about system size, one about maximum speed, and the last about trade. The first two go together a bit and may require similar expertise, but the trade question seems like it would draw from a completely different area. Maybe reduce this down to one question and follow up later? $\endgroup$ – Brythan Oct 27 '15 at 0:26
$\begingroup$ @Majte - "in reality with constant acceleration a spaceship is only limited by the speed of light?" That's only true for infinite fuel/energy. With a limited fuel supply, a ship can only use half its fuel to accelerate, reserving ~1/2 its fuel to decelerate on arrival. Fixed fuel capacity means fixed maximum speed. $\endgroup$ – WhatRoughBeast Oct 27 '15 at 1:42
$\begingroup$ None of these are really world building questions. There is a game development SE that may hadnle this better. In nearly every game (except perhaps Kerbal Space Simulator), the actual laws of space physics are ignored, because they're honestly not all that fun for people. Not even EVE really tries to get them right. $\endgroup$ – Cort Ammon Oct 27 '15 at 23:15
There are 3 basic methods of transferring between orbits.
Minimum energy
Involves expending enough energy to get to the "closest" (in energy terms) Lagrange point. From there, small course corrections to steer your vessel between the planetary system's Lagrange points can keep the overall energy expenditure much lower than even a Hohmann orbit transfer.
A Minimum energy orbit transfer will likely take decades or more for a Earth to Saturn voyage. It would be suitable for the transportation of bulk materials that do not spoil. You might consider this the "ground transportation" version of space travel.
Hohmann Transfer
A Hohmann orbit transfer is the lowest energy direct orbit transfer method. Hohmann orbit transfers are sometimes called "bang-bang" transfers because they typically involve 2 main propulsive maneuvers (one to change your current orbit to an ellipse intersecting the new orbit & one to change the ellipse at the other end to the new orbit).
A Hohmann orbit transfer from the Earth to Saturn might take 6 years. It would be suitable to material needed soon but not ASAP. You might consider this as the "priority" shipping.
Brachistochrone
Is a direct thrust orbit transfer - in which the vessel thrusts constantly during the whole voyage. Brachistochrone trajectories are limited by the amount of propellant, the amount of energy, and the maximum thrust of the engines of the ship.
There are very few engine, propellant, & fuel combinations that can accomplish brachistochrone trajectories. Realistically, only extremely low thrust propulsion systems (e.g. solar sail, ion thruster) or extremely energetic systems (e.g. fission, fusion, or antimatter) systems can accomplish them.
A Brachistochrone trajectory to Saturn might take months. You might consider this the equivalent of "over night" delivery.
For the purposes of your game, you must consider the costs associated with each of these propulsion schemes. Clearly even if your society can and will use fission, fusion, and anti-matter propulsion; the ship using those fuels must pay a premium to get them. Fuels like oxygen-hydrogen would be far FAR cheaper per unit mass and much easier to get but wouldn't be as energetic.
So you could limit your ships based upon technology (they can't do fusion or anti-matter), resources (not very many places have the refining capabilities to extract the correct isotopes), and/or cost (if you're moving asteroid rocks, you're not going to pay the premium of high energy fuels).
Hopefully, the game will allow the players to chose which things he moves using which trajectories. If he always selects methods using the high energy trajectories, maybe they eventually run out of those resources.
For more information go my favorite world building resource, Atomic Rockets. This is the link to the "mission tables" which shows the $\Delta V$ required and time it takes to complete each trajectory.
Just remember though that the minimum energy trajectory is essentially the Hohmann transfer to the nearest Lagrange point plus some additional $\Delta V$ for adjusting the trajectory at each subsequent Lagrange point.

$\begingroup$ That's already an excellent post. I was already thinking of player being able to chose between Brachistochrone transfer (mouse click and go) and Hohmann transfer (by setting a course) which then will use the fuel differently. Is there a approximate way to calculate the energy usage of these two methods? I have already my planets and orbits in place by using Newtons law of gravitation. What would be the max. speed achieved of a realistic Brachistochrone transfer? $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 2:06

$\begingroup$ projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/appmissiontable.php Even with the link, it'll take a lot of reading and thinking to find the answer, I think. $\endgroup$ – Jim2B Oct 27 '15 at 2:43
$\begingroup$ According to the site, with 1.0 g we have a 4 days Saturn return trip! I think this sounds quite realistic and I can assume that having an energy sources that could constantly propel from 1 g to let's say 5 g would be an realistic assumption, if we also assume that there are some inertial dampers that can absorb some but not all of the forces. $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 12:24
If you're sure you want to limit the player to always having to do dogfight(I for one am an explorer type, so I'd just accelerate away every time), then you could for example limit the fuel in following way: The spaceships generate their fuel while not using their engines. This could be rationalized with a system of them bringing the components on board, but having to do some catalyst-process in order for them to create the actual compounds used as fuel. You can therefore only speed up for a limited amount of time before you require to "refuel".
How can I determine the ideal size of an average planetary system, the number of planets
I'd go for as random as they can get. Maybe a young star only has a huge asteroid belt and no planets, while some stars can sport a dozen or so planetoids and moons to boot. There's no way to determine "realism" for the average planetary system, as we don't have the technology to really determine other star systems currently. But for the explorer, vastly differing systems would increase the interest.
the time it could take on average to get a planet in the outer orbit to a planet closer to the sun, both in game time and real time? Ideally I would like the game to feel realistic and exciting to get across the planetary system, yet not feel too boring with longer periods of nothing happening.
This is going to have to be either/ or, but not both. If you go for any sliver of realism, then it's going to be boring for the action players. As an example, Elite Dangerous. Even with the automatic docking and star drives, the game still suffers from boredom of the huge distances, if you don't like the serenity of cruising around in empty space. The universe is huge and on average, empty. Take the known planets to have life divided by the planets that don't have life and we'll approach zero quite fast. The distances are at best only mind bogling, and this translates to hours of boredom, even with your accelerated time frame. Kerbal Space Program also provides a good idea on how boring it really can get with any amount of realism: KSP has the whole solar system with its furthest away planet closer to the Kerbol sun than the Earth is to Sol, and still it takes several hours to transit even to the closest moon. Granted, the craziest missions where they just basically go with solid rocket boosters to the Mun and back take but minutes, but that's besides the point. Don't worry on the realism, create a balance of fun and "that's just ridiculous".
In a 2D game, the only realism to be had might be to pre-plan your escape from and entry to any solar system, using planetary masses to do a gravity assisted boost. But it only makes sense if the fuel for long distance traveling is scarce enough to justify not just simply turning the accelerator to 11 and aiming for your target.
However, if people can simply see the prevailing prices on each planet beforehand, there is not much challenge for finding the optimal trade. I can cut the communication but then how can I reason to a player that they can only see the prevailing prices of goods when they visit a planet, however, not when flying in space? Is there any other way to make trade more challenging and reason it to the player?
You can make the tonnage affect the acceleration, therefore slowing them down and making it risky to try and haul a huge mass of cargo across the stars for a profit.
The communication can be limited to either the nearest star systems. This can easily be justified with "signals can't go faster than light". This way you could have a system in play that shows a spreadsheet for the player on the known prices, coupled with the "age" of that information. These prices could even be updated on the fly, so as your flying closer to a star system, onboard computers update the price from signals coming from that planet(4 weeks old, 2 weeks old, week old, current).
You could only show the player prices from their last visit to any known system, and a list of planets with a shortage on some cargo. Combine this with the previous signal limitation idea, and long hauls would almost always be a gamble in terms of profit.
DaealisDaealis
You could tell the player that using more fuel will, of course, make them fly faster, but they may not have enough fuel for a deceleration burn to go to another planet (or use any fuel to turn in a dogfight)
The size of the system will depend on the speed and acceleration you allow your spacecraft to have. Even if you could travel at the speed of light, it would still take several hours to fly from Earth to Pluto (at its closest!).
Limit the range of communication to some distance from each planet, and disallow superluminal comms. If they can't see the price until they are close (or if it takes say 5-10 real-time minutes for them to get a price update from a faraway planet), then there may be some trade challenges. Other methods could be locking in a price before taking off - for example, flying cargo from A to B, doing a flyby of C and seeing the price is better at C, selling there (and paying a penalty for cancelling the A->B route).
costromcostrom
$\begingroup$ The price locking is what I don't want as I cannot possibly reason that it is not possible for a player to get the information of the current price on a planet, while having a modern spaceship that can do incredible things and even interstellar flights ;) $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 0:17
$\begingroup$ What I meant by price locking is like how Euro Truck Sim 2 works - they have jobs in a queue you can take, set to expire at some time in the future, without having to communicate to the recipient that you're taking the job (as long as it's picked up from its start point, it's fine). The job price can't change during the flight, but you might get a better price by dropping it off earlier in the flight elsewhere $\endgroup$ – costrom Oct 27 '15 at 0:20
$\begingroup$ I see, that could be an interesting concept, however, it is also based on not being able to communicate with other planets during flight, right? $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 0:26
$\begingroup$ Sort of -- the idea is that each planet has a radius of communication (it can communicate maybe every 1-90 game minutes), and can update with every other planet less frequently (maybe 1-3 times per game day). it would allow a craft near a planet to get updated info about that planet, but about nowhere else $\endgroup$ – costrom Oct 27 '15 at 0:29
$\begingroup$ Would that sell to the audience without making the game feel too plain, you reckon? One strong part of my game is that the economy is entirely simulated with stock markets and forces of supply and demand (I am an economist by profession). $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 0:31
I would explain the speed limitation as a limitation of the deflector system. At very high relative velocities even tiny specks of spacedust pose a serious perforation risk. Just say your deflector shields can't reliably deflect dangerous objects moving faster than # relative to the ship. (This also gives you an excuse to force players to enter asteroid belts with the orbital flow rather than against, which might be an interesting tactical mechanic.)
SudoSedWinifredSudoSedWinifred
$\begingroup$ Interesting idea. As it is now, my ships have shields that can deflect missiles and other deadly weaponry that have high velocities. It would be less convincing to argue with dust particles. $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 11:44
$\begingroup$ Good point, but there's strong sci-fi precedent for combat deflectors being much more effective than standard flight deflectors. ("Shields up!") $\endgroup$ – SudoSedWinifred Oct 27 '15 at 11:53
$\begingroup$ Maybe it could be argued with Inertial dampers (like in the Star Trek franchise), where speed is limited as otherwise you would end up splattered on the wall or the systems will fail... $\endgroup$ – Majte Oct 27 '15 at 12:22

Instagram for Business: How Companies Are Using Instagram Stories as a Marketing Tool
by Knowledge Hub Media / 0 Comment / Posted in: Knowledge Hub Media's B2B Blog
Initially launched in 2016, "Instagram Stories" became an instant hit, adored and engaged by 300+ million users on a daily basis. On average, these users spend around 24 to 32 minutes per day on Instagram – with the time variance being based on user age range. Considering the significance of these numbers, it is clear that Instagram offers an amazing opportunity for companies to reach a broad range of audiences, promote their brands, and take user engagement to a whole new level.
In fact, according to Instagram, 1 in 3 of the most viewed stories actually originate from business users (not just people posting their personal images). So, the moral of the story? Not using Instagram Stories could actually mean that you're being left behind the competition. That being said, our friends over at 99firms have created a descriptive infographic (below) to teach you more about how big business is using Instagram Stories – to give more voice and personality to their brand. What's more, is that this data is based on 30 separate business case studies… Read on >>

Affiliate marketing is one of the top ways that a blogger or website owner can make money. It tops pay-per-click ads, which typically only bring in pennies per click (and is dependent on people leaving your site), and can be more consistent that sponsored posts, which are time consuming to land if you don't have tens of thousands of engaged subscribers, and a killer media kit.
Whether you are a full-time blogger or you have a physical or service-based business, affiliate links can be a great source of additional and passive income for your website. Many business owners overlook the ability to generate income with affiliate marketing techniques for their existing businesses, and in many cases this can result in hundreds to thousands of dollars of missed income potential per month.
For example: If you are a flooring contractor focusing on installation, you can use your blog as a portfolio of your work. If you add photographs of a job you have just completed, you can also use an affiliate network, such as Amazon Associates to link the exact product to your post (Check out this example here). If your post is found on Google, Google Image search, or Pinterest, and the link is clicked, you not only capitalize on your physical client, but also a commission on the product as well. This works out well if someone from out of your service area finds you online but cannot hire you due to distance; you can still generate income from the otherwise 'dead' lead.
Another example: You are an interior designer, and you showcase your images on Pinterest to drive traffic to your website. Only local clients will be able to hire you as their designer, but your website traffic is phenomenal. Regardless that the furniture, wallpaper, decor, flooring, window treatments, etc. are not products that you personally sell; linking the same, or similar products under your pictures on your website can drive affiliate income to your business from people who love your design, but live out of your service range.
Amazon has taken online shopping to a whole new level, and that is an understatement. I recently read a report citing that for every $2.00 spent in the US, one of those dollars is to Amazon. This to me is a good basket to put my eggs in. The inventory catalog leaves no stone left un-turned, giving it broad range to be suitable for any niche, demographic, or industry.
Once your reader clicks on an Amazon link, the cookies are active for the next 24 hours. If the product is added to the reader's cart, you will receive commission if they purchase the item within 30 days. Your commission percentages grow the more items that are sold under your ID.
The best part about Amazon's affiliate program according to me? Well, that would have to be the fact that you receive commission on anything the reader purchases within that 24 hour time frame (I woke up this morning to find that I made a commission on someone buying toilet paper yesterday). Let's say you recommend this product, but they purchase this one instead, you are still getting paid, yo. To me that's a no-brainer.
You can receive cash payments, or Amazon Gift Cards, and you are paid out every 60 days. That is quite a while to wait, I hear ya, but when the checks do come, they are typically quite large.
Shopstyle Collective is an affiliate program that allows you to also receive a pay-per-click. The main draw to me about this site is the fact that you can link some seriously high end products and feel safe that you aren't sending your readership to go buy a knock off Gucci handbag. I don't always find the high end products that I am looking to link on Amazon Associates, and when I can't- I go directly to ShopStyle.
Something I don't like about ShopStyle: Every product link directs you first) through ShopStyle, and then) to the site that houses the product (view what the re-direct looks like by clicking this link here for reference) whether it be Nordstroms, or ASOS, or whatever the case may be. This (to me) looks slightly spammy and I feel it makes my site look less professional. I use this program when I have a very specific product that I am looking to feature, but I wouldn't, say, use it in a 'gift round-up' post. It is way too all over the place. Another reason I use this program second: Grabbing a quick $.05 off a click, but losing my reader to Macy's website is not worth it to me if they don't buy the product I promoted. If I am going to lose a reader anywhere, I would rather lose it to Amazon, knowing that my efforts have a greater chance of ROI due to the fact that I get commission on anything they purchase.
When you are adding options, for example: a camera, you could casually say, "my top three camera choices are this beginner one, this one with a good price point, and this because I can grow into it". That forces the reader to click the link if they find what you are saying to be valuable.
Use as many links in your post as possible. This broadens your chances for obvious reasons.
Both of these affiliate programs offer great analytics. I recommend continuosly checking to see which of your links get the most click thru action, so you can a) know what products your readers are looking for for later posts, and b) analyze the way the link was presented in your post so you can repeat that in the future.
In summary, there are great many bloggers and business owners that utilize affiliate links on their sites, and find it to be a great source of passive income. To encourage that this has the best-case affect, be sure to keep the items you are promoting on brand with the rest of your site, and be mindful of any stats or analytics you can use to up your game. Find ways to improve your web traffic to engage more organic click thru rates, and keep on keepin' on. It sometimes takes a few weeks for your initial work to begin to pay off.


This week, PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński spoke out on the matter of the so-called Srebrna tapes. On 29 January, the "Gazeta Wyborcza" daily published an article on the involvement of Jarosław Kaczyński in the construction of two 190-metre-tall skyscrapers and business negotiations with Gerald Birgfellner (in-depth analysis in the 21.02 CEC Daily). Kaczyński argues that the tape publication is a non-story. He reasoned that although the disclosed conversations did not affect his image, he must however protest against false accusations and reiterate that no laws have been broken. He did however provide context for voters that the project was supposed to form the financial basis for a theorized right-wing think-tank, a counterweight of sorts for the liberal Stefan Batory Foundation. Kaczyński argues that the political right wing is in need of an intellectual back office, similar to those currently operating in Germany e.g. the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung or the Heinrich Boll Stiftung. Furthermore, Kaczyński accuses Gerald Birgfellner – the businessman suing Kaczyński – of not documenting his work and providing invoices. This was supposedly the reason why Kaczyński suggested the situation be resolved in court. Kaczyński's explanations sparked criticisms from the opposition but their aim was to reassure PiS voters that the project was well-intentioned.
Although, the ruling party has managed to nip this crisis in the bud, the opposition and outlets such as "Wyborcza" will continue to cover the story. Today's revelations that Birgfellner reportedly confessed under oath that he was instructed by Kaczyński to pay off a Priest – member of the board of the Lech Kaczyński Foundation – with PLN 50 thousand in exchange for his support of the investment. Consequently, it is likely that the effect the Srebrna scandal will have on the public perception of PiS and its leader Jarsoław Kaczyński is yet to develop. Though PiS may be certain of the support of its base electorate, the swaying voters are said to determine the outcome of the entire election season.

Q: jQuery: count number of rows in a table How do I count the number of tr elements within a table using jQuery?
I know there is a similar question, but I just want the total rows.

A: I needed a way to do this in an AJAX return, so I wrote this piece:

Number of results:

Obviously this is a quick example, but it may be helpful.

A: I found this to work really well if you want to count rows without counting the th and any rows from tables inside of tables:
var rowCount = $("#tableData > tbody").children().length;

A: row_count =  $('#my_table').find('tr').length;
column_count =  $('#my_table').find('td').length / row_count;

A: Alternatively...
var rowCount = $('table#myTable tr:last').index() + 1;

jsFiddle DEMO
This will ensure that any nested table-rows are not also counted.

A: Well, I get the attr rows from the table and get the length for that collection:
$("#myTable").attr('rows').length;

I think that jQuery works less.

A: If you use
 or
 in your table, you'll have to use the following syntax or you'll get a incorrect value:
var rowCount = $('#myTable >tbody >tr').length;

A: Here's my take on it:
//Helper function that gets a count of all the rows
 in a table body

$.fn.rowCount = function() {
    return $('tr', $(this).find('tbody')).length;
};

USAGE:
var rowCount = $('#productTypesTable').rowCount();

A: I got the following:
jQuery('#tableId').find('tr').index();

A:
try this one if there is tbody

Without Header
$("#myTable > tbody").children.length

If there is header then
$("#myTable > tbody").children.length -1

Enjoy!!!

A: Use a selector that will select all the rows and take the length.
var rowCount = $('#myTable tr').length;

Note: this approach also counts all trs of every nested table!

A: var trLength = jQuery('#tablebodyID >tr').length;

A: document.getElementById("myTable").rows.length;

In order to add a new currency, you need to go through "Modules / Currencies" and click "New currency".
Enter the required data in the window that opens.
Note: The "Value" item is the exchange rate between the new set currency and the default currency. For example, we have the default currency "USD", and the new currency is "EUR", the exchange rate between these currencies is: $1 = €0.80, so in the column "Value" we write 0.80.
Attention: the exchange rate between currencies may vary.
In order to set the default currency, you must click "Edit" next to the selected currency.
And in the window that we already know, at the very bottom we put a "tick" in front of the inscription "Set as default"


Last Call!! Come and Grab Your Favourite Masks from THE FACESHOP MALAYSIA!!
Hey you over there! You probably don't know this yet, but THE FACESHOP MALAYSIA is having a special promotion store wide! Get 50% off their 2nd item when you make your purchase!
Honestly, I didn't know about this until I walked around Sunway Pyramid last night. Blindly did I walk into the store, and stared at their masks while deciding in my blur mind on which mask to purchase, then their kind sales person notified me about the promotion. God bless her!
The moment she told me about the promotion, suddenly I become very quick in motion to pick out 6 packets from the same range, Real Nature Mask. Well, I know it would be very adventurous to try out different ranges but, I tend to take the safer route. Then, when I turned around to go to the cashier, I just proved to myself how blur I was at that moment, I saw the Character Masks that I have been looking for, for some time now. Immediately, I placed back the 2 packets from that range and picked out these two character mask! And I did not regret it!
These are the two masks that caught my immediate attention from this series, I only found out about the masks when a friend of mine, Wendy Woo, also a beauty blogger, was using it and posting on her FB. I found it to be really adorable, the panda mask, and since she recommended it as well, so I thought why don't I give it a try too.
And this is the range from Real Nature Mask. Rice, Lemon and Honey are quite the normal types to be found for masks however, the Mung Bean is the first time I'm hearing or even getting to know about this. Really excited to try it, as it is meant for tightening pores. I have really huge pores by the way.
OK, this monkey (apple) mask is just too adorable for me to resist, I felt like it was really calling out to me. So, I decided to use this first for today's post. Oh! Don't worry, I will be doing a compilation of all of these masks and reviewing each and every one of them for you. Will post it up when I am done with all of them.
Thanks to the weather here in Malaysia, my face has been feeling very dehydrated these days. So what better way to replace back the nutrients and moisture that my face needs? Obviously by treating myself with some Mask Time!
This sheet is quite big actually, so you don't have to worry about it not being able to cover your face.
Here's a short clip of me putting on the mask.
Do you think I make a cute monkey?
Well, I was in a rush earlier this morning, so I didn't manage to take the "After" picture for this. However, what I would prefer sharing with you is how I felt during and after wearing this mask.
Thank you for reading this post! Do go and grab yourself your very own Character Mask! Till the next post, pamper up!
I'm in India, studying. I would consider it as having fun too haha! I hope they'll wait !
Probably when you come back here, they will have another round of promotions... ^^ How is there? Never been to India before..
your blog are equally good too babe!!! nice to meet you in the Blog-world! keep in touch!


UK Immigration Crisis - Official Statistics Underreport Real EU Migration by 50%!
The most ONS release further illustrates this huge continuing disparity as whilst the ONS states 257,000 EU migrants settled in the UK in the year to September 2015. However, during the same time period, 630,000 EU nationals applied for National Insurance numbers, necessary to claim in work and other benefits which is nearly 2.5X the headline ONS statistics!
The bottom line is that ONS's migration statistics are not fit for purpose as I have been warning of for some years now.
So instead of the most recent ONS statistics implying that net migration is running at 330,000 per annum, the truth is closer near twice that number! Where allowing lower outside of EU migration then real immigration is running at approx 500,000 per annum That means that the UK population is likely to hit 70 million before the end of this decade! With dire consequences for all aspects of life in Britain from employment, to schooling to social services such as health and not forgetting the housing crisis.
Therefore, whilst today the mainstream broadcast press crisis coverage of immigration is focused on the camps of tens of thousands of migrants on Europe's southern borders and even some 5,000 near the port of Calais. However Britain should prepare itself for what the trend implies looks inevitable that within the next few years already buckling and highly stressed state services will break under the weight of numbers in response to which the government will be forced to introduce unprecedented measures such as cordoning off pockets of Southern England into self contained migrant camps of first in the tens of thousands and ultimately numbering in the hundreds of thousands in an attempt to contain the consequences of the immigration catastrophe that is the implied as a consequence of 10 million immigrants entering the UK (net 5 million) over the next 10 years that will be in addition to natural population growth of at approx 4 million.
The updated UK population graph shows an actual trend trajectory as per the most recent ONS population data into Mid 2014 of 64.6 million, which suggests that the UK population could increase by an additional 4 million by 2030 as a consequence of what amounts to continuing out of control immigration and high birth rate that in total would translate into a population increase equivalent to 15 cities the size of Birmingham.
The bottom line is that it is pointless for the likes of George Osborne announcement to build 400,000 affordable homes over the next 5 years, because it does not matter how many new homes built, 400k, 500k, even 1 million will make no difference to Britain's housing crisis for the simple fact that Britain has an immigration crisis as continuing out of control immigration ensures new demand will always far outstrip new supply. So the real solution for getting to grips with Britain's housing crisis IS TO CONTROL IMMIGRATION which is ONLY possible by EXITING the European Union for a New Dawn, New Life for Britain.

Have you been reading Richard's testimony about using the treadmill for home fitness?
If not have a look on the home page of our website. It's a real testament to understand whether having a Treadmill for Home Use can work when it comes to weight loss as well as fitness.
When Richard first approached Fit2run he weighed in at 130kgs, and in his own words was the heaviest he had ever been.
I saw Richard last week and couldn't recognise him. He had just completed a half marathon. This was a new goal he'd set for himself after doing the 10km challenge. For a person who couldn't run at all when he started with the treadmill this is a wonderful testimony. But more than that his total weight loss since starting with the TF20 treadmill is at present a whopping 40kgs!
His wife who is much smaller has also lost a huge 20kgs! Well done to both of you. You are an inspiration for others who are setting out on the same path of weight loss and fitness.
The TF20 treadmill for home usage is a great performer in it's own right but as we know nothing happens unless you get on the treadmill and have the dedication that these two have shown.
Fit2run is uniquely qualified to provide you with first class service in the dynamic fitness equipment industry.
We specialise in treadmill hire, sales and repair, and can rent you fitness equipment of all varieties including exercycles, elliptical cross-trainers, rowing machines, and power plates.
In July 2017 I weighed myself. I was at my heaviest that I have ever been, 130 Kg's After speaking to Mike from Fit 2 run he helped with a treadmill to kick start my weight loss journey. I started by walking everyday at a brisk pace to get my heart rate up. I gradually picked up the pace after a week and just started increasing the speed and distance. I challenged myself everyday to beat my previous days distance and time. I started in the middle of August and since then, (3 months or 12 weeks) I have lost 23 Kg's and i am still losing weight. From not being active to running in the Auckland marathon. My only words of advice are to start small and gradually chip away at it. I couldn't walk for more than 10 minutes without stopping. I can now run 6 km in 45 min I completed the 5km run in the auckland marathon in 33 min. Thanks again Shirley and please tell Mike he is an awesome guy for helping me out.

2022 survey reveals parents' growing water quality concerns
See insights from our survey about parents' knowledge, concerns, and actions related to water quality.
By: Rachel Carollo
Aquasana in the News
As kids across the country head back to school for fall, we're sharing more data from our fourth annual Water Quality Survey that shows parents as an involved, knowledgeable group that has become increasingly concerned about water quality over time.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, we found that parents are more worried about the overall health of their families — including their access to clean, healthy water. In correlation with increased concern, parents are also willing to take action to understand what's in their water and how to improve it.
For context, our survey data was collected in March 2022 from a poll of 2,246 U.S. adults, and we've compared results from previous years to identify changing views and behaviors within the population. This post focuses on findings specific to parents' concerns and knowledge about water quality, but for additional insights, you can check out our initial survey report, which reveals broader trends within the general population.
Read on to see how parents' concern over water quality has changed over time, which contaminants concern them the most, and what they're doing about it.
Parents in the U.S. are becoming increasingly concerned about water quality over time
Parents have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to knowledge and concern over water quality, as we've seen the same trend from our past three years of survey data.
In 2022, we found that parents are 62% more likely than non-parents to say they are concerned about the quality of the unfiltered tap water in their homes. Not only are parents more concerned than non-parents in the current year, but this figure is up 34% from 2021, indicating concern has grown over time. As kids across the country head back to school for fall, 70% of parents said they're also concerned about the drinking water quality at their child's school — up 21% from last year.
Additionally, parents were 30% more likely than non-parents to say the pandemic made them more concerned about their overall health. During the pandemic, we saw people change habits including more frequent hand washing, social distancing, and wearing masks among other lifestyle changes. Even in subsequent years since the emergence of COVID-19, we've seen many of these worries and habits continue, including concern for water quality. It will be interesting to see how pandemic-related concern over water quality changes in the future, but for now it remains prominent.
In response, parents are more likely to filter their water, and it's growing steadily year over year
In correlation with the increased concern over water quality among parents, they're also significantly more likely than non-parents to filter their tap water at home.
Our survey revealed that 8 of 10 parents (81%) agree that it's necessary to filter their tap water at home, a figure that's up 16% from last year and 45% higher than the percentage of non-parents who have this sentiment. However, it's one thing to think water filters are necessary and another thing to actually use them.
Putting words to action, 88% of parents filter their drinking water at home in 2022 — which is 35% higher than the percentage of non-parents who use a filter. Furthermore, the usage of water filters among parents has increased over the last several years — from 78% in 2020 to 81% in 2021, and now 88% in 2022. This year's increase marks the largest shift in the history of our survey, and we're nearly at the point where 9 of 10 parents are using a water filter at home. Based on the trend we've seen, it's possible this point may be reached in 2023.
Why do parents filter their water?
Parents' concern and usage of water filters is correlated with an apparent higher knowledge of water quality, as parents are more likely than non-parents to say they know a lot about their water.
Specifically, 35% of parents say they know a lot about the quality of the unfiltered tap water in their home compared to only 18% of non-parents who feel the same. In line with other findings presented in this post, we also saw a year-over-year increase in the percent of parents who claim to know a lot about their home's water quality — from 23% in 2021 to 35% this year. This indicates a growing percentage of parents are learning about water quality in their homes, which is likely contributing to the increased usage of water filters.
To better understand parents' rationale for filtering their tap water at home, we asked parents why they use a water filter at home and came away with some interesting results.
The top answer is actually unrelated to water quality — 50% of parents said they use a filter because it's environmentally friendly. Bottled water is often seen as a trustworthy source for clean drinking water, but that trust has consistently declined over the past three years and the damage plastic bottles cause to the environment is well known. For example, 80% of plastic water bottles end up in landfills and they take 450 years to decompose. Using a water filter helps reduce dependence on plastic bottles, and in 2019 our water filtration systems displaced 1.2 billion plastic bottles of water. To be more environmentally friendly, parents are making the switch to filtering their drinking water at home. The use of water filters for this cause reflects parents' increased interest in helping the environment in general, as 54% of parents this year say they always or often seek out products that are sustainable for the environment.
In second place, the next most common reason parents said they use a filter is because it's healthier (38% of responses). Water filters are a great way to achieve clean, healthy water at home by removing contaminants that can sometimes make it through the treatment process. In some cases, the chemicals used to treat water are contaminants themselves, such as chlorine and chloramines. A water filter is an extra line of defense to protect against these contaminants, along with others that may be picked up as water travels through pipes to your home, such as lead. Beyond the health benefits, using a filter can also help improve the taste, smell, and appearanceof your home's tap water.
Rounding out the top three, the next most common reason for parents who said they use a filter is because they claim to have always filtered their water (36%). It appears that some parents adopted water filtration habits so long ago that they've forgotten their initial reason for doing so, or it has just become a standard practice for them. The claim that parents have always filtered their water further demonstrates how water quality has consistently been top of mind for this segment over the years when compared to other groups.
What are the water contaminants that concern parents the most?
Regarding which contaminants concern parents the most, the top three answers received almost equal votes and accounted for a combined 59% of all responses. Chlorine/chloramines were parents' top concern with 21% of the vote, which was just slightly ahead of lead (20%), followed by pesticides/herbicides (18%).
Outside the top three answers, parents also showed higher awareness and concern for PFOA/PFOS chemicals. In fact, parents are 88% more likely to be familiar with PFOA/PFOS than non-parents and they're 50% more likely to select it as their top contaminant concern. These contaminants have gained prominence in recent years, to the point where the EPA recently announced new health advisories and a $1 billion infrastructure bill to help protect against them.
Regardless of which contaminants concern parents the most, we've seen that there are several motivations for parents utilizing water filters at home.
Overall, our 2022 survey revealed that parents are consistently more concerned and more willing to take action regarding water quality issues compared to non-parents. This is a growing trend with concern consistently rising over the past several years and will likely continue moving forward. We're nearly at a point where nearly 9 of 10 parents filter their water at home, and a growing percentage are becoming concerned about the quality of water at their childrens' schools.
However, we've determined that water quality isn't the only reason for the increasing usage of filters. Many parents are using filters because they're environmentally friendly, and for some, filtering water has always been common practice throughout their lives.
Whether you're looking to improve the quality and safety of your tap water or want to switch from plastic bottles to help the environment, Aquasana has a wide selection of filters to choose from. All Aquasana filters have been independently tested and certified to NSF/ANSI standards to tackle the contaminants listed in this blog post. Our award-winning, eco-friendly filtration systems have also been designed with sustainability in mind to help minimize waste.

Fallout Shelter makes you shut tiny, happy people underground in a nuclear wasteland
Lots of people are excited for Fallout 4, the newest jaunt through a doomed futuristic land with a patina of quaint nuclear nostalgia. But in a climate of sequels, it's cool when studios offer alternative modes of playing with the worlds they make, just in case Armed Trundle: Volume 4 makes you feel kinda 'over it'.
Fallout Shelter is a great little mobile game that's already out on iOS—though I initially found its user interface a little scatterbrained, its structure should be familiar enough to fans of popular but simple building and management games like Tiny Tower. You're in charge of building and making your own underground Vault—that's where the folks of the Fallout universe ride out the radiation—allocating your Dwellers to work on power stations, water purification and other tasks according to their skills.
If you like lite games where you level up characters and gamble with their lives, this game is real cute. There's a dash of The Sims, mostly in that you can pair Dwellers up and have them make babies. You can also zoom in on the rooms where your Dwellers are living and working, and listen in on their adorably naive blue-sky chat ("This really is the perfect job for me!" "I want to draw you a picture later! Any requests?") alongside endless days of laborious crank-turning and tank-scrubbing or whatever it is they are seen doing. I had one guy come to my Vault with no particular skills, so I decided to send him out to the Wasteland to "explore" (equipped with nothing, assuming he would not return). He willingly marched forth, a smile on his face, promising to make the Vault proud.
This game makes me feel really bad.
The cool part is that even though it's a free-to-play game, the monetization isn't annoying. You can "gamble", in a sense, on speeding up production of resources, but there's always a risk of an "incident", which makes things worse for you in the end (you might have to watch as your poor smiling Vault Dwellers fight "radroaches" crawling up from the fetid earth). You also can earn or buy lunchboxes, full of helpful stuff. The in-your-face thrill of a lunchbox full of surprise items, and the immediate advantage they provide, is almost exciting enough to feel good about spending a buck or two on.
When video games first came to smartphones, there was much fumbling—how, companies once wondered, will we simulate the thrill of game controllers with a touch screen? Years on, mobile games now sensibly have their own kinds of design, and clever game companies are exploring clever ways to make tie-ins of their bigger and more traditional properties.

This week in games: inactivity, brutalism, The Witness and more
Zoya Street, curator of Critical Distance, offers slow reflections on the fast-paced world of digital play…
What was it like working a Nintendo hotline in the 80s?
This week, our partnership with Critical Distance brings us reading on parenting via Tomb Raider, the utility of the word 'gameplay', and experiences from Nintendo 'play counselors' from the 1980s and 90s.


Passion is infectious. Working with passionate people makes you better, at least it makes me better. It makes me want to do and give everything that I can to help them be successful. All that motivation then gets funneled into the work and elevates the talents and results of the entire team. Back in December I worked with Jordan Louis New York and Brian Cahill (the public relations team) to photograph the Pre Fall 2014 Lookbook. I had worked with the line a few months earlier in August on the Spring 2014 shoot and I was thrilled to hear that they were interested in continuing to collaborate. When we shot the line in August we were focused on creating images that showcased the collection in a more accessible and approachable way, we wanted to give people the opportunity to get to know the line. The Pre Fall collection was more about beginning to form a stronger visual identity for the line, and laying the groundwork for the visual branding moving forward. We were looking for something a little more editorial, we wanted to use movement and to show the line coming to life through use rather than focus on static poses and limited camera movement.
Here are some of my favorite images from this project. Please take a moment to check out her work, you won't be disappointed.


Plot twist: It's so hard that he didn't even make a level four lol.
Good man! I'd love to work with you when I have most of my development down.
Nice! I didn't know about this.
A rather old thread, but hope no one minds.
It is a great template for those making explosions. Yes, template. As a normal explosion, it's just that there's no texture, and just looks like circles expanding and fading.


hye I'm going to write smd format but I have a problem... I don't know how can I calculate angle from the change positions ... I know by you that it's refered to euler angles but I don't know which it is! ...Tait–Bryan angles or euler angle... and what are their priorities?
The order of the triangles in my SMD is detrimental to the lip sync function that I want to implement into my models. How do I make Blender export the triangles data in the correct order? Thanks in advance. --JediMaster362 (talk) 00:37, 10 April 2016 (UTC).

BCB will think about the captain after watching the Dhaka Test!
BCB President Nazmul Hasan Papon came to the inaugural function of the inter-world sports competition, cricket and football tournament organized by Dhaka South City Corporation at Bangabandhu National Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. He was accompanied by Dhaka City Corporation South Mayor Fazle Nur Taposh. BCB Bigg Boss Papon also spoke about Bangladesh cricket with the journalists present at the inaugural function.
Papon also spoke about vaccinations for national teams and cricketers, current Test performances, preparation for Test teams, the organization of three-nation cricket this year and the performances of captain Mominul Haque and head coach Russell Domingo.
We have already said that the Covid-19 vaccine will be given. We will talk to the players today and fix the date, when (the vaccine will be given). We have fixed the place, we have the list. Now only when will I do that. There is only one option that is not happening before the end of the game on the 15th. We will give the vaccine as soon as the test match is over. I hope to be able to inform you about this in the near future.
There are six and a half zoom meetings with the national team today (already done). I will talk to them. Talks have already taken place with senior players, being regular. Now there is no reason to be demotivated here. The first thing is that West Indies played well. There is no way to deny. It is impossible to score a double century on the fifth day, I think even a strong country like England-Australia has never done that. But they did, but it is also true that the amount of opportunity we are wasting cannot be wasted. The biggest thing is that (victory) is lost without losing. I think we need to pay more attention to this issue.


America's ninth largest state, Wyoming, has the lowest population of any state in the nation, resulting in a landscape significantly less altered by humanity than you'll find almost anywhere else in the country. Wyoming's most famous attraction, Yellowstone National Park, has an active volcano and half of the world's known geothermal features, including two-thirds of the planet's geysers. Despite the tourist services surrounding its more popular attractions, Yellowstone also contains roughly 1,000 miles of less-traveled backcountry trails.
Wyoming's mountain ranges form part of the Rocky Mountains, which stretch from southern Canada to northern New Mexico. The state's most iconic mountains, the Tetons, are the centerpiece attraction of Grand Teton National Park, drawing more than 2.5 million visitors annually. Other notable mountain ranges in Wyoming include the Absaroka, Wind River, Gros Ventre, Salt River, Snake River, Bighorn, Laramie, Sierra Madre and Medicine Bow ranges. At 13,804 feet, the Wind River Range's Gannett Peak is Wyoming's highest point.
Spanning between mountain ranges, Wyoming's basins form wide, relatively flat and treeless landscapes vegetated mainly by sagebrush. The state's biggest basin lies where the Continental Divide splits -- the only place in the United States where this occurs -- forming a 3,900-square-mile expanse called the Great Divide Basin. Precipitation that falls here stays here, never reaching the Pacific or Atlantic oceans. Wyoming's other large basins include the Bighorn, Powder River, Wind River, Green River and Washakie basins.
Relatively undisturbed native prairies, or grasslands, still cover a large area of eastern Wyoming's plains. These flat areas see little rainfall. Unlike the majority of the nation's plains, Wyoming's grasslands have survived largely intact into modern times, according to the Nature Conservancy. The largest of these tracts under public land management, Thunder Basin National Grassland, encompasses more than 550,000 acres in northeast Wyoming, where you can enjoy wildlife viewing, hunting, hiking, fishing and primitive camping.
Wyoming's impressive canyons entice visitors to stop and take pictures as they admire the colorful walls towering around them. Two of the state's designated scenic auto-touring routes provide convenient ways to include canyon sightseeing in your Wyoming travel plans. The 47-mile Cloud Peak Skyway Scenic Byway winds through dramatic Ten Sleep Canyon in the Bighorn Mountains, while the 34-mile Wind River Canyon Scenic Byway yields close-up views of stunning limestone walls just south of Thermopolis.

Tommy Smith & Brian Kellock
Last Show: Saturday 18 th November 2017
Two of Scotland's finest jazz artists, saxophonist Tommy Smith and pianist Brian Kellock, have teamed up to bring appreciative audiences some of the most beautiful, haunting and iconic pieces in the jazz repertoire. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the commentary from the press has been routinely littered with phrases such as… 'bewitching layers of delicacy', 'full flight', 'spontaneous invention', and 'sheer artistry'. Tommy and Brian, are a musically dynamic duo who bring reverence and invention in equal measure to the timeless art of jazz. Their sets are largely drawn from the three CDs they have made together for Spartacus records, 'Bezique', 'Symbiosis' & 'Whispering of the Stars', which prominently feature selections from the great American & European Songbooks. More importantly, their gregarious performances are informed by lifelong immersion in jazz history and a commitment to surprise, entertain and inform in the most inclusive of jazz experiences.
"I have been around some powerful bandleaders in my time (eg Elvin Jones, Miles Davis, Chick Corea) and I can tell you that Tommy ranks up with the best as a leader/conductor as well as a player"
Saxophonist Tommy Smith has been a presence on the world jazz scene since his teenage years. At the age of nineteen he was touring internationally with Gary Burton's Whiz Kids quintet and three years later he signed to the legendary jazz label Blue Note.
Smith has since gone on to establish and direct the internationally acclaimed Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and he regularly tours the world with Norwegian bass master Arild Andersen's trio, widely regarded as one of the premier groups working in jazz today.
In 2017 Smith celebrates his 50th birthday with a duo tour featuring the pianist he calls his own personal orchestra, the hugely resourceful Brian Kellock, who has worked with Scott Hamilton, Stanley Turrentine, Sheila Jordan and many other touring American musicians.
Friends for over thirty years, Smith and Kellock form a partnership that spins classic songs into spontaneous jazz gold. Their concerts are master classes in the arts of improvisation and communication and have been described as world class by Jazz Journal magazine.

El modelo de Hodgkin y Huxley describe cómo se inician y transmiten los potenciales de acción en las neuronas.
Consiste en un conjunto de cuatro ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias no lineales, que aproximan las características eléctricas de células excitables como las neuronas o los miocitos cardíacos.

Alan Lloyd Hodgkin y Andrew Huxley propusieron el modelo en 1952 para explicar los mecanismos iónicos que subyacían a la iniciación y propagación de los potenciales de acción del axón gigante de calamar. En 1963 recibieron el Premio Nobel en fisiología - medicina por este trabajo.

Componentes básicos

La membrana lipídica acumula potencial eléctrico al impedir que los iones pasen del interior al exterior de la célula, y viceversa. Por lo tanto está representada por un capacitor (Cm).
 Los canales iónicos permiten el tránsito regulado de las cargas a través de ciertos segmentos de la membrana. Por lo que están representados por resistores no lineales (gn, donde n es un canal iónico específico), lo que significa que la conductancia de los resistores varía en función del tiempo y del voltaje.
 Las puertas de los canales iónicos están representadas por conductancias lineales (gL).
 Los gradientes electroquímicos que producen el flujo de iones están representados por baterías (En y EL), cuyos valores están determinados por el potencial de Nernst de la especie iónica de interés.
 Las bombas iónicas utilizan energía de la célula para restablecer el gradiente electroquímico en estado de reposo. Están representadas por fuentes de corriente (Ip).

La derivada en el tiempo del potencial a lo largo de la membrana () es proporcional a la suma de las corrientes en el circuito:

Donde Ii denota las corrientes iónicas individuales del modelo.

Cultural and creative industry is an industry that relies on the wisdom, skills and talents of creative people, creates and improves cultural resources with the help of high technology, produces high value-added products through the development and application of intellectual property, and has the potential to create wealth and employment. UNESCO believes that cultural and creative industries include cultural products, cultural services and intellectual property rights.
3D printing technology has been initially applied in the design of industrial creative products, film and television animation, leisure tourism and cultural product design, digital publishing and other industries. Its universal application will have a great impact on the cultural and creative industry. As technology advances and the Internet becomes more widely available, 3D printing will become more and more a tool for the DIY process. All these developments have contributed to the fact that almost everyone is a designer/producer, and the boundary between the producer and the consumer will become increasingly blurred. 3D printing gives ordinary people the ability to make, releases the innovation impulse of individual users, changes the privilege that invention and creation were only for a few people in the past, realizes the personalized design thinking and expression needs of ordinary people, and truly achieves national creativity and creation. 3D printing gives full play to this collective wisdom and will promote the expression of creative design of cultural and creative products to present more diversified, popular and liberal features.
In today's network popularization, ordinary people can easily download the latest design works of designers through various network database model websites, and then carry out 3D printing production. In the pursuit of personalized today, people all hope that their things are different from others and unique. However, because of the restrictions of traditional manufacturing industry, products can only be manufactured in large quantities to meet the needs of the market, and it is impossible to make every product different.
Many inconvenient problems in traditional industries have left great potential for the development of 3D printing. People can make use of 3D printing technology, spread the above knowledge on the cheap network, and make all kinds of creative ideas they want, so as to meet their personalized needs. Compared with the large amount of preparatory work and production restrictions before the production in traditional manufacturing industry, the limitations of 3D printing technology are much smaller. You just need to draw the idea you want with software, import it into the 3D printer, and wait for a few hours to get what you need. Both the time cost and the money cost are much smaller than the traditional manufacturing industry. It should be emphasized that there is no problem in the application of the precision and quality of the manufactured products in the field of cultural creativity if the technical level of 3D printer is limited.

Completely revised and updated, this is a much-needed call to action for every parent, teacher, and citizen to help our children and stop the wave of killing and violence gripping America's youth.
Newtown, Aurora, Virginia Tech, Columbine. There is no bigger or more important issue in America than youth violence. Kids, some as young as ten years old, take up arms with the intention to murder. Why is this happening? Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano believe the root cause is the steady diet of violent entertainment kids see on TV, in movies, and in the video games they play—witnessing hundreds of violent images a day. Offering incontrovertible evidence based on recent scientific studies and research, they posit that this media is not just conditioning children to be violent and see killing as acceptable but teaching them the mechanics of killing as well.

Splash 'n' Dash 5k gets a boost from pediatric heart patient
Norton Children's / Get Healthy Families / Locations / Norton Childrens Hospital / Splash 'n' Dash 5k gets a boost from pediatric heart patient
One team is leaning on a longtime Norton Children's Hospital nurse's grandson for inspiration
By: Aaron Seidlitz • Posted: July 17, 2017
Leslie Zoeller's heart has been through a lot over the past nine months, but on Saturday, Aug. 5, it will swell with pride once again at the Norton Children's Hospital Splash 'n' Dash 5k Walk/Run.
Twenty-five of her closest friends and colleagues will line up next to several of her family members. And Zoeller knows that each person will be thinking of her grandson, Henry Grose, throughout the race.
After 37 years with Norton, and the last 30 as an operating room nurse, Zoeller knows all about caregiving. But her years of hands-on experience dissolved when staff at Norton Children's Hospital began caring for Henry — her first biological grandchild of the 12 she loves and supports.
Henry came into this world four months ago, with everyone — the medical team and family — aware that he would have to overcome pulmonary atresia, a congenital heart defect. Two open-heart surgeries shortly after birth reconnected his pulmonary artery to his heart, as it should be.
Still, Zoeller and her family had to endure moments of uncertainty.
"To be on the opposite end by receiving care for a loved one rather than providing it was horrible," Zoeller said. "I couldn't stand to watch my son and his girlfriend wait and wonder, because I know that pain.
"At the same time, I could tell by glancing at the nurses' and doctors' faces if something was right or wrong. I saw people who cared for Henry as if he was one of their own."
Splash 'n' Dash
Make a big splash to help kids at Norton Children's Hospital! The third annual Splash 'n' Dash 5k Walk/Run will be held Saturday, Aug. 5,on the Big Four Lawn at Louisville Waterfront Park.
And as Zoeller watched her grandson grow stronger in the four months since, one of her nursing managers, Kimberly Ransdell, R.N., watched a team rally around this family.
"When I put out a request to run in this event, all I had to write was one line about Henry before people started to sign up," Ransdell said. "We have all been with Leslie since Henry was born. We have cried with her and we have prayed for her."
Unfortunately, Zoeller won't be among the team lining up for a day of fun at the Splash 'n' Dash 5k because of an upcoming knee surgery.
She doesn't have to be there, though, to know why others are participating.
"Henry is the most amazing little person, and he makes me feel so good about life," Zoeller said. "I've participated in fundraisers for Norton Children's Hospital before, and I've always wondered why so many people keep coming back.
"But now I know why they do it; the care our staff provides for kids who need help is something to celebrate."
Make a splash for kids!
Runners and walkers can splash their way through a 5k course or a 1k Family Fun Run filled with refreshing ways to cool off in splash zones. After the race, enjoy family-friendly activities in the "Just for Kids" Zone, including a DJ, face painting, water balloon toss, water slides and more!
Not a runner or walker? Join a Splash Zone Team and help blast participants with water at a splash zone.

Prostate cancer and hot flushes.
The research suggests that hot flushes were reduced by 68.4% in two weeks to 80.3% in the longer term (of eight months). In addition to this no side effects were found! This is great news and I look forward to a larger scale study to further reinforce this evidence.
The author goes on to say that acupuncture is an 'excellent control of hot flashes in men' who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer.
