So you chopped down that big, old tree that was about to fall and you need to get it off your lawn, or you want to do some serious landscaping so you've cleared out all the bushes and palm fronds the previous homeowner put in, and you want them removed. Even if you have a pickup truck, it will take you several trips and a lot of wasted time to clear out all that green waste. You need to hire a garden skip bin.
Unlike other skip bins, garden skip bins are designed to handle only green waste from the garden, hence the name. The aim here is to recycle as much of it as possible into mulch that can then be used to improve the soil around plants, protect their roots, and prevent weeds from growing.
Since garden skip bins are quite large, you can get all your garden waste off your property in a short amount of time. This way, you also won't have to make numerous trips to the dumping or recycling site in your pickup truck to clear out your space.
Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, and by hiring a garden skip bin, you are taking that responsibility. Skip bin companies have a working partnership with and access to recycling centers, so you will be sure that your waste will be repurposed rather than leave a carbon footprint by simply being burned.
In addition, this repurposing can result in further conservation of natural resources. For instance, the mulch produced from garden waste can be used to retain soil moisture around plants, which helps to conserve excess water that can be used to sustain the plants in warmer seasons.
Further, since these large trucks carry larger amounts of the waste out when compared with a pick-up truck, there are less carbon emissions during the transportation of the waste as fewer trips are being made back and forth.
Hiring a garden skip truck can be a community affair, which will make it cheaper for everyone involved. Several households can do their garden work around the same time and one truck can come collecting all the waste from these homes.
It is great for the neighborhood, since no one will have an excuse to illegally dump their garden waste, leaving the area looking clean and tidy.


All samples use BITES, and I don't want to, which causes me to have to re-implement a lot of boilerplate.
Bites was introduced to avoid boilerplate code, so there you go..
There's also little guidance on consuming it in other projects with CMAKE.
poor add-on porting from 1.9, like SkyX. A graphics engine as this level should have volumetric cloud and sky system out of the box.
This is a community project, so feel free to step-up and do the implementation/ porting.
6 months official release cycle is needed at least.
we have a 1 year release cycle for the major i.e. 1.x version with intermediate 1.10.y releases.
Out of date documentation should be archived and replaced with always up to date documentation.
The wiki is huge, so this is an ongoing effort. As a rule of thumb the documentation at https://ogrecave.github.io/ogre/api/1.10/index.html is in lock-step with the release.
Adopt STL in full. Don't add scaffolding or wrappers (e.g. OGREStrings).
Ogre::String is just a typedef for std::string. While not really needed it allows to swap out the string implementation in Ogre.
Modern c++. I think c++11 should be available on all platforms.

What is Verilog?
Verilog is a Hardware Description Language; a textual format for describing electronic circuits and systems. Applied to electronic design, Verilog is intended to be used for verification through simulation, for timing analysis, for test analysis (testability analysis and fault grading) and for logic synthesis.
The Verilog HDL is an IEEE standard - number 1364. The first version of the IEEE standard for Verilog was published in 1995. A revised version was published in 2001; this is the version used by most Verilog users. The IEEE Verilog standard document is known as the Language Reference Manual, or LRM. This is the complete authoritative definition of the Verilog HDL.
A further revision of the Verilog standard was published in 2005, though it has little extra compared to the 2001 standard. SystemVerilog is a huge set of extensions to Verilog, and was first published as an IEEE standard in 2005. See the appropriate Knowhow section for more details about SystemVerilog.
IEEE Std 1364 also defines the Programming Language Interface, or PLI. This is a collection of software routines which permit a bidirectional interface between Verilog and other languages (usually C).
Note that VHDL is not an abbreviation for Verilog HDL - Verilog and VHDL are two different HDLs. They have more similarities than differences, however.

Drake Squashes Beef With Chris Brown By Bringing Him Onstage
Chris Brown took the stage to perform some of his hits with Drake looking on.
By Paula Rogo · Updated October 23, 2020
Drake showed the world that he had finally squashed his longtime beef with Chris Brown by bringing him out as a special guest Saturday at the Los Angeles stop of his "Aubrey and The Three Amigos Tour." The duo has had tension for years allegedly over their mutual ex, Rihanna. Their feud escalated after a 2012 bottle-hurling brawl at a New York nightclub. Now, as Drake told the Staples Center, it as all behind him. "I want to share this moment with y'all tonight. This is something I waited a long time for. I got the utmost respect—I think this guy's one of the most talented human beings on the planet," he said to introduce Brown. "I never really got my chance to show him. So I figured tonight—in Staples Center, with each and every one of y'all—it would be the perfect time to share this moment."

Greenwich calls for alternative way forward for Millers Point
Alex Greenwich, the Independent Member for Sydney, has urged the Minister for Family and Community services to consider an alternative plan for Millers Point and The Rocks put forward by SGS Economics & Planning.
Millers Point and The Rocks: An alternate way forward can be accessed at www.sgsep.com.au/assets/Millers-Point-Final-Report.pdf
Mr Greenwich said:
"SGS Economics and Planning have taken an independent and common-sense approach to social housing in Millers Point and The Rocks. Their report stresses the need to invest in a local purpose-built facility to house long-term elderly residents of the area, allow older residents to age in place and protect the area's social mix and history.
"The report emphasises the social and cultural costs to Sydney of removing all public housing from the area and provides compassionate alternatives to the cruel 'social cleansing' of this precinct.
The Government has not yet announced their sales process for the area, recent properties sold are largely ones already earmarked for sale by the former government and the current government has made no commitments that proceeds of sales will be to provide additional housing.
I have briefed the minister's Independent Facilitator for Milers Point on the importance of retaining social housing, and understand he will consider solutions put forward by me, the local community and in the SGS report."
Mr Greenwich's letter to Minister Upton is HERE

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet: Solid basis reinforced at specific points
E-Class0 Comments
A robust basis is the ideal ingredient for a stiff bodyshell offering a high level of crash safety. It plays a decisive role in ensuring maximum noise-related comfort, outstanding vibration characteristics and hallmark Mercedes-Benz longevity.
In these terms, the E-Class Cabriolet had an ideal starting position, given that it is closely related to the E-Class Coupé – a two-door model which meets the very highest requirements when it comes to torsional stiffness and occupant protection. The same applies to the Cabriolet, which has one of the stiffest designs in its segment. The body's static torsional stiffness can be seen as a reliable indicator of the excellent cumulative effect of the implemented measures. It has been increased by around 30 percent compared to the outgoing model.
To achieve this figure, the bodyshell of the E-Class Cabriolet received extra reinforcements compared to its Coupé sister model, the most important of which are as follows:
• The extremely robust A-pillar assembly consists of two high-strength steel tubes which are welded to the sheet-metal shells of the A-pillars. In the case of the E-Class Cabriolet, both tubes have an exceptionally robust Y-shape and stretch from the A-pillar intersection to the upper window frame.
• The plug-in B-pillars are extremely robustly connected as they engage in the side skirts, thus offering highly effective protection in the event of a crash. A shoe made from ultra-high-strength steel braces the inside of the B-pillar against the rear seat crossmember. The rear support against the rear panel runs in an arch-like shape to the rear seats.
• Reinforced side skirts and bulkhead platesin the doors protect the occupants in a lateral impact with a pole, for example. Likewise the reinforced shoulderline with its high-strength steel section enhances
the exceptionally robust nature of the design.
• The floor assembly has been reinforced solidly at several points.
• The robust rear panel behind the rear seats further enhances the body's lateral rigidity.
Intelligent lightweight construction: state-of-the-art materials and innovative joining techniques
Despite the enhanced spaciousness, comfort and safety compared to the outgoing model, the weight of the bodyshell has been kept practically the same for the new E-Class Cabriolet thanks to intelligent lightweight construction. High-strength steel alloys account for around 60 percent of the weight. In the case of the side skirts alone, this high-strength, low-weight material reduces weight by some five kilograms.
The design and construction of the bodyshell are likewise weight-optimised. The energy-absorbing front crossmember, for instance, is inserted into the longitudinal members and no longer ends in flange plates. Tailored Blanks made from sheet steel are used in many places, such as on the underbody, where individual blanks of varying thickness and strength are joined by means of laser welding, or on the transmission tunnel, where the blanks optimise structural behaviour and crash performance.
In addition to these measures, the use of state-of-the-art structural adhesive plays a further important part in enhancing the body strength. The total length of the high-strength adhesive seams used in the bodyshell of the E-Class Cabriolet amounts to around 70 metres.
Mercedes-Benz employs innovative "RobScan" robot-guided laser welding for the E-Class Cabriolet. This new welding technology allows a very high welding speed with optimum weld quality. The technology is used in the rear centre section of the Cabriolet – with a total of 26 welds.
Quality right from the start: visual inspection and NVH optimisation
Alongside the usual quality assurance measures, all joining techniques are subject to process monitoring, which ensures quality in each individual stage of production. The MIG (metal inert gas) solder seams, for instance, are monitored by means of a 3D light-strip sensor. The position, width and completeness of the adhesive seams are checked by an integrated camera when the adhesive is applied. The spot welds likewise undergo a visual inspection: the photos taken by a thermography camera confirm whether the spot welds have the correct diameter.
A further important aspect of quality is a car's NVH behaviour (noise, vibration, harshness). Here, too, the bodyshell plays a key role. Sturdy transverse sections in the floor assembly – known as transmission tunnel braces – along with optimised lower seat crossmember sections and reinforced engine mounts are just some of the NVH measures implemented to improve vibration characteristics.
Easy to repair: reversible bonnet
Development of the E-Class body focussed on customer benefit at all times, as shown by the Active Bonnet, which reduces the risk of injury to pedestrians and features a reversible design.
Further easy-to-repair and, therefore, money-saving solutions include the bolted-on crash boxes at the front and rear as well as the radiator fastening.

SSD vs. HDD: Which is Better for You?
What's the difference between SSDs and HDDs? Solid state drives and hard disk drives are similar in their physical specifications, but they store data very differently. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of drive, and deciding on which type is right for you comes down to what you use your computer for. Our guide shows you how each type of storage drive works and what it means for you.
The technology behind hard disk drives is well-known and well-tested. Hard disk drives have been around for more than 50 years, steadily increasing their storage capacity and decreasing their physical size. HDDs rely on spinning disks, or platters, to read and write data.
Hard disk drives consist of one or more magnetically sensitive platters, an actuator arm with a read/write head on it for each platter, and a motor to spin the platters and move the arms. There is also an I/O controller and firmware that tells the hardware what to do and communicates with the rest of the system.
Each platter is organized into concentric circles, called tracks. Tracks are divided into logical units called sectors. Each track and sector number results in a unique address that can be used to organize and locate data. Data is written to the nearest available area. There is an algorithm that processes the data before it's written, allowing the firmware to detect and correct errors.
The platters spin at preset speeds (4200 rpm to 7200 rpm for consumer computers), those speeds correlate to read/write rates. The higher the preset speed, the faster a hard drive will be able to read and write data.
Each time you ask your computer to retrieve or update data, the I/O controller tells the actuator arm where that data is located, and the read/write head gathers the data by reading the presence or absence of a charge in each address. If the request was to update the data, the read/write head changes the charge on the affected track and sector.
The time it takes for the platter to spin and the actuator arm to find the correct track and sector is known as latency.
The drawbacks to HDDs are a result of the mechanical parts used to read and write data, as physically finding and retrieving data takes more time than electronically finding and retrieving data. The mechanical parts can skip or even fail if they are handled roughly or dropped. This is a concern in laptops, but not as much in desktops. HDDs are also heavier and use more energy than comparable SSDs.
The benefits of a hard disk drive are that they are a proven technology, are frequently less expensive than a solid state drive for the same amount of storage. Currently, HDDs are also available with more storage space than SSDs.
Solid state drives are a newer technology, but have progressed rapidly, adding more storage capacity each year. SSDs rely on electronic storage in non-volatile memory, meaning that data won't disappear when the computer is turned off.
SSDs can be thought of as large USB drives; they use the same base technology. NAND, the technology in solid state drives is a kind of flash memory. At the lowest level, floating gate transistors record a charge (or lack of a charge) to store data. The gates are organized in a grid pattern, which is further organized into a block. Block size can vary, but each row that makes up the grid is called a page.
There is an SSD controller that performs several functions, including keeping track of where data is located.
Each time you ask your computer to retrieve or update data, the SSD controller looks at the address of the data requested and reads the charge status.
Updating data is more complex for SSDs. All the data in a block must be refreshed when any portion of it is updated. The data on the old block is copied to a different block, the block is erased, and the data is rewritten with the changes to a new block.
When the drive is idle, a process called garbage collection goes through and makes sure the information in the old block is erased and that the block is free to be written to again.
There is another process, called TRIM, that informs the SSD that it can skip rewriting certain data when it erases blocks. Because there are a finite number of times any block can be rewritten, this is an important process that prevents premature wear on the storage drive.
To further prevent wear on the drive, there is an algorithm to make sure that each block in the drive gets an equal amount of read/write processes. This process is called wear leveling and happens automatically as the drive is working.
Because the read/write process requires data movement, SSDs are usually overprovisioned with storage; there is always a certain amount of the drive that is not reported to the operating system, and not accessible to the user. This allows room for the drive to move and delete items without affecting the overall storage capacity.
SSDs are newer technology, and as such, are more expensive than HDDs. Although they are catching up, it can be harder to find very large-capacity solid state drives. HDDs can be as much as 2.5 times larger.
Learn more about SSDs and how they work.
Solid state drives deliver faster load times for games, applications, and movies. Because of the technology they use, SSDs are lighter and more able to withstand being moved and dropped. In addition, solid state drives use less energy, keeping the computer they're used in cooler.
The difference between hard drives and solid state drives is in the technology used to store and retrieve data. The table below illustrates some of the differences.
HDDs are cheaper and you can get more storage space. SSDs, however, are faster, lighter, more durable, and use less energy. Your needs will dictate which storage drive will work best for you.

I've hosted two brunches now and served a variation on this fritatta. It has been a good go-to and it is healthy enough that you can add something sweet to your brunch menu without feeling bad. This frittata also goes particularly well with mimosas.
It feels good to be blogging again. I know that 2014 has been a little bit spotty on the blog front, but hopefully things have calmed down enough that I can start cooking new recipes. In January and February, my diet was pretty boring as I was trying to stay with my carb cycling plan. It worked and I ended up losing about 10 pounds through the combination of the Vemma Bode program, carb cycling, and my triathlon training. Now that I am in full training mode, I've adjusted my carb cycling a bit (though still need to keep tweaking it) and I've just been focused on getting enough fuel for my workouts. But, I am finally into my routine, so there should be more time (and energy) for me to cook up some new dishes! And of course, I will continue to experiment with low-carb meals -- not just for my own sake, but also for my group that has been following the Bode plan too. We have had so much fun and everyone has had such amazing transformations since the start of the year. People have dropped 10, 15, even 20 pounds just by making some simple changes to the way they eat and by ensuring that they are getting some exercise. I'm so proud of everyone! And I get to see many of my challenge group next week on our family cruise! My mom even bought her first bikini in years!
Anyways, back to the frittata. When a dish is this full of flavor and also packed with nutrients and protein, healthy eating is a breeze. The trick really is to make your meals exciting - colorful and flavorful.
Cut the peppers into 1/2 inch pieces, then toss with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sea salt. Spread the peppers out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
While the peppers roast, sautee kale in remaining olive oil with minced garlic until the kale is slightly wilted.
Vigorously whisk together eggs, milk, sea salt, pepper, and chili powder. Stir in the kale, peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into a casserole dish. Top with chunks of goat cheese.
Bake the frittata for 35-40 minutes or until the center is firm and doesn't jiggle.

Excellent blogpost once again. I held on to every word Kristine Fallon, FAIA, had to say. I think she made an important distinction in her response to your third question- that while she foresees a continued need for architects' skills, not necessarily a sustained need for architecture firms.
Collective sigh of relief from all of us who feel uniquely wired to be architects. It's refreshing to be reminded of the specific skills architects bring to the project compared to engineers and contractors.
You'd asked if we think there will be a need for firms? Yes, I do. Why? Because, as an architect, I need a sounding board of like-minded fellow architects with which to share and bounce ideas. I don't think we work well in a vacuum. Unlike artists, we function best in a collaborative studio, imho.
If traditional firms give way to the huge conglomerates, I think the powers that be may find architects will be most productive and effective working in ateliers, or mini design studios.
Looking forward to reading others' responses and to buying your book.
P.S. I spent the day organizing my home office and my husband helped me hang some arch'l renderings I'd done years ago in high school. It was fun. Last night, I'd been reading Suburban Sprawl and thinking back on the history of recent architectural education, thought and practice. I wonder how firms will keep up with the rapidly changing technology Ms. Fallon speaks of. Our profession seems somewhat apathetic and unprepared- or unwilling- to act fast enough.
Thanks Tara. The need for firms as a "sounding board of like-minded fellow architects" to bounce ideas off of is a great insight.
A comment from across the pond!
There is a lot of navel gazing going on over here about architects, but then again its been going on for years.
Currently probably most our larger scale work is delivered through contractor led teams, but i think thats as much to do with market forces as with customer drivers. People know they can get a really good deal at the moment and put all the risk on the contractor – give it 12 months the pendulum will start to swing back!
But I think this isn't just about architects – the beauty of iBIM is that when we've fully worked it through as an industry, the traditional roles will blur and change. The tribal boundaries will shift because they have to, for survival.
A fully integrated BIM solution could enable new players to enter the market.
I think we will see much more emphasis on solutions for customers, and the facilitators to enable those solutions.
This new breed of facilitators will come from all sorts of backgrounds.
Even entrepreneurs with no history in the industry. With the right iBIM and supply chain, lots of things are possible.
And one more thing, this will go even further, transforming education for the built environment – the cost of education now,the relevance of courses, and the oversupply of graduates who take 5 years to become effective, will put this under focus. The educational establishments and the institutes will come under increasing pressure for change.
I think something has to give, and I dont think it will take too long!
Excellent point, John, about our traditional roles changing with our perceived (and real) boundaries blurring.
I also like what you have to say about the "new breed of facilitators" and hope to post on this very point in the near future. Thanks for visiting and chiming in!
Not many people see the value in an architecture firms or architects anymore. They are always trying to find ways to get their project done without one, no matter the size of the project. If the traditional architecture firm is going to survive, it needs to offer more services. I have been saying for years, we need to take back the role of master builder.
I also hate to say it, but we did this to ourselves long ago. As a profession the architecture industry did not communicate to the general public the importance of an architects role. When a potential client wants to have something built, architects should be the first thing on their mind. However it is not, they contact contractors first, at that point we are a team player, not a team leader.
I agree that many clients see working with an architecture firm as a necessary evil. But these very clients often look for ways to work-around architects as well.
I think a lot of the need for architects comes down to the quality of the relationship between client and architect. Firms often talk about how much work they have to market for and how much work is based on long term client relationships. In some firms, that long-term work can be 70% (or more) of the office work load. An architect does other things than "just design buildings" (or remodels) — they can help with property analysis; reconfigure existing space; help project useability trends in space; provide geographic analysis; help promote a client brand. When part of the client brand is that they always use Calatrava or SOM or ZGF as part of their design process, then the selection of the contractor becomes secondary.
I have often said that the production of the project manual is the "least important thing" that I do — its the conversations about bid strategy and construction process that is my real service. From the design side, I would also suggest that the design documents are the "least important" aspect of the architectural profession and that the analysis that goes into those documents is the true service the owner is paying for. Contractors don't perform those services — at least not yet.
Thanks Anne. It sounds like everything you describe can be performed by individual design professionals – whether designers or not.
Based on what you describe, do you feel there is a need for firms per se?
Didn't the AIA once say that some large percentage of "member firms" were 5 people or fewer?
I think it depends on the service you're providing whether you need a "firm" or not. Very few people have the full complement of skills in order to do the tasks that I described — and that is even less possible if you are dealing with a client in multiple locations. I think when you scale up the project size, there simply isn't any way for a project to be done by anything but a firm. The tasks become too specialized and the scope of work too large for any one person to do everything on a project.
I like large, complicated projects, and part of that means that they have to be done by large complicated teams of people with specialized design and technical skills. The logistics of putting out a large architectural project are much different than the logistics of performing the same construction project. And, I have found that the best of these projects works when the contractor and the architect (teams) understand that they bring different skills to the table and those skills are not the same but that they reinforce each other.
Like any other team, these work the best when the people are together on a regular basis, understand how to work with teach other, and also to push each other to do better work. A single person is always limited by the things they know and know how to do. Firms can maximize someone past those limitations and make easier to push past them.
I look forward to having your book in my hands. I suspect you discuss this topic at length.
Close to 20 years ago I went to a lecture by Frank Gehry at the Art Institute of Chicago. He told a story about working in Japan. The client was enthralled with his "napkin sketches". As construction was completed he was surprised to realize that they were done ahead of schedule and the project was slightly under budget. He went to Japan for the final punch list walk through and he couldn't find ANYTHING wrong. The builder then asked him if they could sit down with him and review their list of suggestions as to how his design could be improved in the future. As Gehry described the system in Japan (and forgive me, I'm not an architect) the construction documents were prepared by the builder's in house architects. This certainly was a different model than the American system.
I have to believe that the more successful firms will be those that find a way to integrate and align engineering, architecture, and construction management. Who will lead those efforts?
Great story – I had not heard that before. Thank you for sharing.
While I do address this very question in my book, if it is to be the architect who is going to lead, now is the time to step up.
And if I may bring up Gehry again, it was clear while working for him, that he thought it was important the that architect be "the adult" on the project team — that is, the person who guided the effort, integrated the efforts of the owner and contractor, and helped push the project to completion. One thing that office did (which I never saw anyone else do) is that they scrutinized the contractor's numbers, did an extraordinary amount of research about construction techniques, researched change orders and contractor questions and met them at the table. That was the first office I ever worked for that didn't "fold" when the contractor tried to change something on the job. we rejected probably as many change order requests as we accepted. Contractors often have the upper hand on projects because they control the dollars on the projects. Architects can claim their case at the table by controlling the information — and that means being ahead of the project, not always trailing the project completion.
Fabulous insights Anne. Thank you!
Reminds me of the saying, "trust, but verify." By scrutinizing the data the architect controls the information. Beautifully put.
Would you elaborate on that research process a bit? As a recent grad, it would be a useful skill for me to develop and bring to a firm. Where would you go to research construction techniques – books? other projects by that contractor? It is especially interesting that that experience came from Gehry's office – I had the impression his work often required new construction technology, where there wouldn't be easy precedents to explore….
1) Most small shops are now (d)evolving to one or two man operations where everything is outsourced including the drawings. The architect only 'manages' the process – the office has gone bye bye as overhead has needed to go bye bye as well.
2) General consensus is if you as a firm are hanging on by a thread or you currently find yourself outta work best to find something else to do as the market will not be 'normal' again and the work load is to remain depressed until at least 2017!!!
3)Everything is being processed electronically now – the reason so much is now outsourced.
I haven't had a chance to read all the comments but I'm sure this is bound to be a great discussion!
Randy, this is the direction our conversation was heading when wrapping up your "Overcoming real and perceived obstacles to IPD" at the RTC a few months ago. Remember that? Things were really starting to heat up over the topic and I completely agree with CF on this one.
I completely agree with architects taking control of the construction process after design. It is what it is and most beneficial for both the architect and client. Let us not forget – that is why we were called "master builders" 150 years ago. It's time to reclaim our position in the industry.
Thank you for all of your comments – all very enlightening. Would love to see this discussion continue perhaps in a wider venue.
For LinkedIn ARCHITECT group members, there is a pretty heated discussion taking place that references this blog post.
As far as the future of the firm goes, architects need to maintain their autonomy to be effective. The one with the gold makes the rules- if we work for contractors, they will dictate how we work. That may be a practical solution from an owner's perspective, but it will promote the idea that design is quantitative optimization. Good luck creating architecture under those rules.

1. Hello Guys Can someone out there help me? My algebra teacher gave us simplifying rational exponents homework today. Normally I am good at exponent rules but somehow I am just stuck on this one problem. I have to turn it in by this weekend but it looks like I will not be able to complete it in time. So I thought of coming online to find help. I will really be grateful if someone can help me work this (topicKwds) out in time.
The best way to get this done is using Algebrator . This software provides a very fast and easy to learn way of doing math problems. You will definitely start liking algebra once you use and see how simple it is. I remember how I used to have a hard time with my Remedial Algebra class and now with the help of Algebrator, learning is so much fun. I am sure you will get help with simplifying rational exponents problems here.
Hi guys! Algebrator is a very handy piece of software. I use it daily to solve questions. You must try it. It may solve your problem.
This sounds too good to be true. How can I purchase it? I think I can recommend it to my friends if it is really as great as it sounds.
Thanks a million for the detailed information. We will surely try this out. Hope we get our problems completed with the aid of Algebrator. If we have any technical questions with respect to its use, we would definitely come back to you again.

'The Addams Family' Film Review: Creepy, Kooky Characters Live Again in Fun Animated Feature
Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron lead the brood in a cartoon comedy that encourages kids to fly their own freak flags
Yolanda Machado | October 10, 2019 @ 1:00 PM	Last Updated: October 10, 2019 @ 1:22 PM
Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures
There are certainly a lot of missed opportunities in the latest "The Addams Family" remake: Like why, if you have Oscar Isaac, would you turn him into just a voice in an animated film when the man is just a perfect, real-life Gomez?
And some of the animation choices don't really convey why this creepy, kooky family has been so beloved for so many decades. Thankfully, other choices that seem out-of-the-box — Snoop Dogg as Cousin It? Christina Aguilera singing on the soundtrack? — help co-directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan (the duo behind "Sausage Party") deliver an enjoyable, light-hearted Halloween treat that will surprisingly charm families and let them have a few laughs together.
On the wedding day of Gomez (voiced by Isaac) and Morticia (Charlize Theron), the ceremony is overtaken by people who want these monsters out of their town. Chased out of yet another home by torch-bearing villagers, the newly minted Addamses are driven (literally, in their family car, by disembodied hand Thing) out of the city, only to discover an abandoned asylum just gloomy and spooky enough for them to call home. Fast forward 13 years, and the family is complete with tween children Wednesday (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Pugsley (Finn Wolfhard), plus Uncle Fester (Nick Kroll), Thing and butler Lurch (Conrad Vernon).
Watch Video: Charlize Theron and Oscar Isaac Get Spooky in 'The Addams Family' First Trailer
While Pugsley prepares for the traditional Mazurka, the male Addams' rite of passage consisting of a knife dance, Wednesday yearns to venture beyond the gates of the asylum to see what exists outside the positively dreadful and boring family home. After discovering Assimilation (pun fully intended) — the town that created by Home And Garden (HAG) TV maven Margeaux (Allison Janney) created — Wednesday decides to attend the local junior high, despite Morticia's concerns and objections ("Pink is a gateway color!"), and to befriend Margeaux's daughter, Parker (Elsie Fisher). Each young girl is seeking what the other has, and they influence each other in the way that all teen girls do. Of course, their mothers don't understand their daughters, and a rift is formed.
Meanwhile, Pugsley also has issues with trying to live up to his father's standards for Addams men, wanting instead to blow things up — something Pugsley happens to be very very good at, which his dad doesn't understand. As each Addams child forges their own independence, the family is also being targeted by Margeaux to rid them of their home in an attempt to keep her town picture-perfect.

The surprising element to the animated "The Addams Family" is that it is a sweet coming-of-age story that tells kids it's OK to be yourself, even if it means going against your parents' views. The schism between Morticia and Wednesday hit me like a very surprising gut punch, as I have a tween daughter going through similar battles with me way too often. While the script by Todd Lieberman ("Sausage Party") is a little too cookie-cutter and a bit simplistic, it works really well for kids. It doesn't attempt to talk down to them, one of my biggest pet peeves about some family films; kids are much smarter than adults sometimes give them credit for, and as a parent, I really appreciate when a film just allows them to be charming and funny without reducing them to nonsense.
Lieberman's script really meets kids at their level of understanding, and yes, at times the gags were clichéd and perhaps over some kids' heads (like Cousin It's license plate "C U Z"), but the humor isn't forced, managing to get some chuckles out of the grown-ups too.

The voice actors all delivered on each character, but I do have some issues with choices made in animation, particularly in how men are drawn versus the women. While most live-action iterations of Gomez Addams tend to be a picture of a very handsome, charming gentleman, this version is more closely tied to the original Charles Addams cartoon version of him — a bit stocky, and somewhat strange looking. And that's perfectly fine; in fact, most of the male characters in the film appear to have that same look: stocky, chubby-ish and odd-but-charming.
In contrast, however, all the female characters are long, lithe, or overly made up to their version of "beauty." In the opening sequence, Morticia literally bolts and screws herself into her wedding gown, which is off-putting. While the animation is fun, images like these do have a way of seeping into young minds, and filmmakers should be mindful of messages they are sending to young girls. Promoting "being yourself" — while delivering it with this odd body image contrast — makes for a confusing ideation for kids, which is a major detractor from the unlikely charm the rest of the film delivers.

Hi! If you are ready to vamp out, or want to try a more subtle version of the fierce look I made in collaboration with Lærke Andersen, for her AW18 show at Copenhagen Fashion week then here is a simple guide.
This might look like a lot of makeup to some, but it is a look you can easily be inspired by, separate elements from, down scale or blend to make it suit your temperament.
Key elements are eyeliner, spider lashes and lip liner, these can be used together or separate. All the products used for the look are from Nyx Professional Makeup. Strong makeup needs a good base, I used 'Stay Mat But Not Fat foundation', this comes is ALL shades and has a matte finish.
The eye liner; 'Epic Ink Liner' is the best I've tried on the marked.- Seriously! It stays on forever, is full of pigment and the tip is perfect. A must-try if you're an eyeliner enthusiast! I made this liner horizontal so it isn't a 'cat eye' but appears punk inspired and raw.
The lashes. I have a thing for lashes that are over the top and messy too. For this I used the 'Double Stacked Fiber Mascara'. You can get insane lashes with this 2 component mascara if you build them up switching between the fiber and mascara until you have reached the result you want.
The lips, I used lip balm and a little foundation on the lips before applying the bright red lip liner. I used Mechanical Pencil Lip in Ruby.
You can get Nyx Professionel Makeup here. See the buzzeling backstage post from the show here.

Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) is characterized by being a tropical fruit, with significant production in Brazil, however the occurrence of diseases, especially fungal infections that affects the root system, has reduced its production. Some Passifloraceae species are reported as being resistant to these pathogens, which feature in potential rootstock for P. edulis cultivation in contaminated areas, although the patterns of growth and development of these species has not being elucidated yet. Thus, the objective was to study the dynamics of growth and evaluate the dry matter distribution of passion fruit with potential rootstock use. Passiflora cincinnata, Passiflora mucronata, Passiflora giberti, Passiflora morifolia and Passiflora edulis (control) developed in polyvinyl chloride tubes of 100 mm in diameter and 150 cm in height, in order to assess plant height, leaf area, number of secondary roots, stem diameter, taproot lenght, root system volume, absolute growth rate, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate, leaf mass ratio and root mass ratio, at 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 105 days after transplanting. The species P. cincinnata, P. giberti and P. morifolia presented higher or similar growth rates than P. edulis for all evaluated characteristics, throughout the evaluation period. The root system of the species P. giberti and P. morifolia showed better distribution along the substrate. The species P. mucronata obtained lower growth than other species, both for the shoot and the root system.

Members of Congress earn $174,000 a year while those in leadership positions earn more. The president salary is $400,000 a year. Aides who are deemed "essential" to members of Congress carrying out their constitutional duties also could get paid, but not until federal funding is settled.
Even some Democrats agree with Womack.
"If we cannot do our work and keep the government functioning, we should not receive a paycheck. If we cannot compromise and meet each other halfway, then we should not be paid," said a letter circulated by Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania.

The Foundations Course is designed to equip you with the technique and skills necessary to enroll in group CrossFit classes. If you have never done CrossFit before, then this is the place to begin. All new members unfamiliar with CrossFit will build a strong understanding of what to expect in our group classes. After the initial Foundations classes, two weeks of unlimited membership is included to encourage you to put into practice what you've learned in foundations.
If you're a seasoned CrossFitter and/or feel confident performing basic gymnastic movements, power and olympic lifts, then testing out of the Foundations Course might be an option for you. We'll schedule a time for you to demonstrate competence in the foundational movements of CrossFit with a coach. After which you can jump into regularly scheduled classes. We want to maintain high standards for our athletes, so if you are unsure of your abilities, then we suggest taking the Foundations course. Cost for test out is $75. Please email Jennifer at jennifer@crossfitalinea.com to schedule a test out.
While it's not a pre-requisite to take the intro class before enrolling in Foundations, we offer a free class every Saturday at 11:30 AM so you can meet coaches, see the gym and get a taste of a CrossFit workout.

Dartmouth Welcomes Ferguson Commission Co-Chair Wilson
A highlight of Dartmouth's 2015 celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. will be a visit by the Rev. Starsky Wilson, co-chair of the Ferguson (Mo.) Commission and president and CEO of the Deaconess Foundation. Wilson will speak first at 4 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 16, in Filene Auditorium at Moore Hall, and then at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 18 in Rollins Chapel.

Hosted by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences, Wilson will deliver Friday's lecture, "Lessons Learned in Ferguson and Their Implications for the Country." He will focus on what the Ferguson Commission has accomplished so far and what its roles may be in setting new policy and facilitating social change. Wilson will share his experiences in Ferguson and his perception of how the community must move forward. (Overflow seating will be available in Moore Hall, Room B03, and, if necessary, in Kemeny Hall, Room 008.)
His Sunday address is to be part of the community multi-faith celebration, hosted by the William Jewett Tucker Foundation. In "From Selma to Ferguson: Why We Can't Wait," he will address what he sees as parallels between what was happening in Selma around the time of King's march and events in Ferguson since August, when a policeman shot and killed Michael Brown.
Sunday's celebration will also feature special musical performances by the World Percussion Music Ensemble, the Dartmouth College Gospel Choir, and members of the Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble.
2015 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Campus events will include talks, performances, and a community faith celebration. For a full schedule of events, visit Dartmouth's Martin Luther King Jr. celebration website.
Wilson leads the Deaconess Foundation, a faith-based grant-making organization devoted to making child well-being a civic priority in the St. Louis region. He is also pastor of Saint John's Church in St. Louis, where he has led congregational activism on issues, including youth violence prevention, Medicaid expansion, public school accreditation, voter mobilization, and initiative petitions to cap predatory lending rates, and raise the minimum wage in Missouri.
Wilson was recently selected by Missouri Gov. Jeremiah Nixon to co-chair the Ferguson Commission, created to study and make specific recommendations for how to make progress on issues brought to light in Ferguson.
The following co-sponsors made Wilson's visit to campus possible: the Tucker Foundation, the Office of the Provost, the Dean of the College, the Rockefeller Center, the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning, the Program in Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies, Dartmouth College Hillel, the Ethics Institute, and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity. A video of the entire community multi-faith celebration will be available via the Dartmouth YouTube channel.

You are out shopping for healthy, designer food. You visit two health food stores. The first one is bright and cheerful: Its products are displayed pleasingly and its staff, with crisp, starched aprons on, are slim, friendly and helpful with smiles that twinkle. There is another health food store just across the road: Similar products. A fat, greasy-haired sweaty man, breath redolent of whisky, garlic and fermented cheese, egg stains on the front of his crumpled shirt, the middle of which strains to stay closed struggling to keeping its charge – a protruding belly – within, tired buttons at the ready to pop…comes to serve you.
You are your website: It is a reflection of who you are, your product, your service. Portray yourself as a trained, seasoned professional. Your website is the only contact your customers, potential and current, have with you. You must create an atmosphere that is pleasing to your buyers to make them want to stay and buy, and more importantly, to want to come back again and again. You want to aim for repeat business. The long and short of it is this: Your website can make or break your sales…and your business.
What secrets can you apply in the design of your website?
Do your research by visiting several websites. Note what make them appealing, attractive or the opposite. Always remember that visitors to your site have one goal in mind: They are either seeking information or shopping for a product. Your goal is to give them what they want without their having to search for it. It is a cardinal rule to make your site easy to navigate. Ensure that all the information is relevant to your product/service. Convince visitors that they absolutely need your product to solve their problem(s).
The main page has a very specific purpose: It is the store front of your website where your visitor lands and from where she/he will shop. Therefore, this page must load very quickly and be easy to view. This is the first contact with your customer: First impressions can either close a deal or…lose this same deal which has exactly the same potential.
Make things simple: Ensure that links are easily viewable by your visitors and that these links will navigate your visitors to where they wish to go. Very often, a great choice is the use of tables when deciding how to design the main page of your site. If your page takes more than ten seconds to load even on a 56k modem, your visitor will click away, through impatience, or to save time, seeking information or products elsewhere. To speed up the loading of your main page, it is advisable to avoid large, or excessive, graphics. Too many banners or special effects often also cause a page to load slowly.
Mild colors are your best bet. If your site is a content site where your visitor will be doing a lot of reading, it is a good idea to keep to black and white. You can add color when using tables as a means to brighten up the page. However, always remember to keep the overall look of the page professional and appealing to your target audience that will be visiting more often.
These vary among monitors. It is, therefore, good counsel to set the pixels to a standard 800×600. You may also choose to set the tables in your web page to span a percentage of the page rather than a set number of inches. This will be sure to accommodate all screen sizes.
Bear in mind that a lot of Internet users will not use the same browser as you. Therefore, make sure that your site looks as good on other browsers as it does on your own. You can do this by downloading several browsers through which to look at your page.
Be aware that the overall look of your website is to make it attractive to visitors, which in turn appeals to emotions and, therefore, lead to sales and to make money for you. The appearance of your site, if properly designed, can be an excellent marketing strategy for your product/service.


As mentioned above, prenuptial agreements must be formed before and in contemplation of marriage, meaning the couple must be planning to marry when an agreement is drafted. In addition to being written, the agreement must be signed by both parties, and becomes valid once the marriage takes place. Modifying or revoking these agreements after marriage is allowed as long as the same formalities used to create them (i.e., written/signed) are followed.
The law limits the content of prenuptial agreements to certain prescribed areas, including the property rights a spouse holds upon divorce. The property referenced in a prenuptial agreement is not restricted to the property each party brings into the marriage, but may include property acquired in the future, reflecting the fact that knowing what may/may not be owned at end of the relationship is impossible.
The ownership rights in the death benefits of a life insurance policy.
Note that prenuptial agreements are specifically prohibited from including terms related to a parent's obligation to pay child support.
The provisions on spousal support would cause financial hardship if enforced, which was not foreseeable at the time the agreement was executed. In this situation, a Court is empowered to order support to the extent necessary to avoid hardship.
Prenuptial agreements are not just for the rich and famous. Anyone entering marriage with children, or someone who has the potential for earning high amounts and/or obtaining sizable property holdings are just a few examples of the kind of individuals that would benefit from prenuptial agreements. Skilled Palatine family law attorney Nicholas W. Richardson helps couples in northwest Chicagoland tackle this difficult discussion, and can help you protect your best interests.
