Big Book of Teen
Firebird by Claudia Gray
A Thousand Pieces of You (1)
Marguerite Caine's physicist parents are known for their groundbreaking achievements. Their most astonishing invention, called the Firebird, allows users to jump into multiple universes—and promises to revolutionize science forever. But then Marguerite's father is murdered, and the killer—her parent's handsome, enigmatic assistant Paul— escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.
Marguerite refuses to let the man who destroyed her family go free. So she races after Paul through different universes, always leaping into another version of herself. But she also meets alternate versions of the people she knows—including Paul, whose life entangles with hers in increasingly familiar ways. Before long she begins to question Paul's guilt—as well as her own heart. And soon she discovers the truth behind her father's death is far more sinister than she expected.
First Impressions (1.1)
This vignette takes place about a week after A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU ends, and after Marguerite has turned to her home universe. Definite spoilers for the book!
Ten Thousand Skies Above You (2)
Ever since she used the Firebird, her parents' invention, to cross into alternate dimensions, Marguerite has caught the attention of enemies who will do anything to force her into helping them dominate the multiverse—even hurting the people she loves. She resists until her boyfriend, Paul, is attacked and his consciousness scattered across multiple dimensions.
Marguerite has no choice but to search for each splinter of Paul's soul. The hunt sends her racing through a war-torn San Francisco, the criminal underworld of New York City, and a glittering Paris where another Marguerite hides a shocking secret. Each world brings Marguerite one step closer to rescuing Paul. But with each trial she faces, she begins to question the destiny she thought they shared.
A Million Worlds with You (3)
The fate of the multiverse rests in Marguerite Caine's hands. Marguerite has been at the center of a cross-dimensional feud since she first traveled to another universe using her parents' invention, the Firebird. Only now has she learned the true plans of the evil Triad Corporation—and that those plans could spell doom for dozens or hundreds of universes, each facing total annihilation.
Paul Markov has always been at Marguerite's side, but Triad's last attack has left him a changed man—angry and shadowed by tragedy. He struggles to overcome the damage done to him, but despite Marguerite's efforts to help, Paul may never be the same again.
So it's up to Marguerite alone to stop the destruction of the multiverse. Billions of lives are at stake. The risks have never been higher. And Triad has unleashed its ultimate weapon: another dimension's Marguerite—wicked, psychologically twisted, and always one step ahead.

Q: PHP Login System with sessions cannot login I am working on login system. But, i cannot log in. I have set my database table.
login.php
 <?php
 session_start();

 if(isset($_POST['login'])) {
    include_once("db.php");
    $username = strip_tags($_POST['username']);
    $password = strip_tags($_POST['password']);

    $username = stripslashes($username);
    $password = stripslashes($password);

    $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $username);
    $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $password);

    $password = md5($password);

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1";
    $query = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_array($query);
    $id = $row['id'];
    $db_password = $row['password'];

    if($password == $db_password) {
        $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
        $_SESSION['id'] = $id;

A: Oh Okay.
Lets try debugging one step at a time then.
In your db.php file, use this:
   // Connecting to mysql database
    $db = new mysqli('192.168.1.113:8080','root','hidden','av');

    // Check for database connection error
    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
        echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
    }

If you get any error, please dump it here for debugging.
Updated.
    // Connecting to mysql database
    $db = new mysqli('localhost','root','hidden','av');

    // Check for database connection error
    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
        echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
    }

A: Your form code look right. Just change like below your login.php code:-
 <?php
    session_start();
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors',1);
    $conn = mysqli_connect('host-name','user-name','password','database-name');
    if($conn){
        if(isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) {
            $username = $_POST['username'];
            $password = $_POST['password'];
            $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $username);
            $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $password);
            $password = md5($password);
            $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1";
            $query = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
            if($query){
                $row = mysqli_fetch_array($query);
                $id = $row['id'];
                $db_password = $row['password'];
                if($password == $db_password) {
                    $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
                    $_SESSION['id'] = $id;
                    header("Location: av_pocetna.html");
                } else {
                    echo "You didn't enter the correct details!";
                }
            }else{
                echo "query not executed because".mysqli_error($conn);
            }
        }
    }else{
        echo "db connection error".mysqli_connect_error();
    }
 ?>

Note:- i have added connection code here only,so change the credentials there. And use this same code to check working or not?
Also if you are working on your local then  change ip address to localhost and check. If it will work then it will work with include("db.php") too.I mean to say try with $conn = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','aleksandar','av');

A: Here is the working login.php
<?php
 session_start();
 error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
$conn = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','aleksandar','av');
$db = new mysqli('localhost','root','aleksandar','av');
if($conn){
    if(isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) {
        $username = $_POST['username'];
        $password = $_POST['password'];
        $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $username);
        $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $password);
        $password = md5($password);
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1";
        $query = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
        if($query){
            $row = mysqli_fetch_array($query);
            $id = $row['id'];
            $db_password = $row['password'];
            if($password == $db_password) {
                $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
                $_SESSION['id'] = $id;
                header("Location: av_pocetna.html");
            } else {
                echo "You didn't enter the correct details!";
            }
        }else{
            echo "query not executed because".mysqli_error($conn);

Vintage News
It began on 29 June 1962, as I stood before the main gates to the entrance of the Canadian Army's Currie Barracks, in Calgary, Alberta. To the guard, I uttered the simple words "I want to join the Canadian Army as a Military Policeman." Four days later I was aboard a train bound for the Canadian Provost Corps school located at Camp Borden, Ontario, and the start of basic army training.
I was born with a talent to draw free hand–no formal training, just a half-assed, self-taught artist. I loved cartoons and for the first time realized the power that lay in my drawings, as I could poke fun at senior officers and escape punishment. I graduated as a Service Police Group One, Lance Corporal just before Christmas of 1962, and stepped off the train on my first posting at Kingston Detachment on a snowy in mid-January 1963.
Kingston became my military home until the last week of September, 1965, when I climbed aboard a RCAF Canadair C-106 Yukon transport at Trenton, Ontario, bound for far-off Cyprus. My flight was mainly made up of soldiers of the Royal Canadian Dragoons and I befriended two on the 18 hour trip. We later crossed paths as they drove armoured cars called 'Ferrets', delivered to Cyprus on the Royal Canadian Navy aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure. Some Ferrets carried hand-painted names and one was called "Snoopy".
Simonsen began his military art career painting designs on the sides of Canadian Army Ferret scout cars used in Cyprus. The British Daimler-built Ferret was the mainstay of Canadian reconnaissance vehicles in the 60s and 70s. Many are still in service in places like Nepal, Burkina Faso, Indonesia and Sudan. The white cowboy hat on this Ferret (not painted by Simonsen) indicates a unit based in Alberta. Simonsen was part of the UN Peacekeeping force there known as UNFICYP, inserted between the lines to keep the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots from killing each other. What is truly unbelievable is that UNFICYP is still in play today, nearly fifty years after the conflict was halted.
Our M.P. Company took over an ex-Greek military camp in the capital city of Nicosia, located in a no-man's land called the "Green Line." I was assigned to the traffic section, investigating all U.N. accidents at any location on the Island, working closely with Greek and Turkish military or civilian police. In my spare time, I began to draw cartoons, and posted them on the wall of our wet canteen. As Christmas '65 approached, I was summoned to the Danish C.O.'s office. He had seen my cartoons and asked if I would paint something for the head table for Christmas Eve dinner.
With no lights, or gifts, I decided to paint a little Christmas mural, with snow, Santa, and the emblem of each country in our M.P. Company. On Christmas Eve, it was pouring rain and I was working 1st call vehicle, when just before dinner, we were called to an accident two hours drive away. I recall my mixed feelings that wet night, but what occurred next, on Christmas Day, changed my artistic life forever. A number of M. P. soldiers, whom I had never met or worked with, approached me and shook my hand or gave a pat on the back with a "Merry Christmas" or "Thank You" for the little Christmas painting. This initiated a series of large wall art murals of Hockey Night in Canada, CFL Football but mostly pin-up girls, and slowly I began to understand firsthand the power of art during war.
There are three areas where grassroots military artists and cartoonists could apply their talents - nose art, editorial cartoons for unit newsletters and publications and, as we see here, colourful murals on mess and barrack room walls. For Christmas of 1965, Clarence Simonsen painted a mural on the Military Police mess, which displayed the unit crests from each of the multinational contributors to the peace keeping. The result was to make these soldiers feel just a little bit more at home during a period when they are particularly vulnerable to loneliness. Photo Clarence Simonsen

Simonsen created a large mural depicting the Calgary Stampeders (Red) and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Photo Clarence Simonsen
Nothing makes a Canuck feel at home like a busty center-fold girl and a painting of the great Maple Leafs goaltender Johnny Bower poke-checking a flying Montreal Canadien. Simonsen must have had a Canadiens fan in his barrack, as the famous photograph (Inset) that the image is based on was of Bower stonewalling Detroit Red Wings legend Gordie Howe, not a Canadien. Perhaps it was better to keep it all-Canadian. Photo: Clarence Simonsen
I left the Canadian Army in August 1966, and became a Metro Toronto Police Officer on the 6th of October. In April of 1966, I was posted to 23 Division in Etobicoke, and later joined the Royal Canadian Legion at Malton, Ontario. I had searched for any publication on the subject of aircraft nose art, but none existed. This started a 45 year hobby devoted to research into this lost art of aircraft nose art. I would copy over 8,000 images, interview over 1,100 veterans who served in the air force, and record the history of 83 men and one woman who painted in the Second World War. During this time I repainted over 500 replica nose art images on original wartime aircraft skin. 200 went to museums in U.K., U.S.A., and Canada, while 300 were given to veterans as a thank you.
In July 2010, I retired from work and bid goodbye to nose art research, not from lack of interest, just the fact my friends from the greatest generation were gone. It was all over.
Then in January 2012, I received an email from Major Jay Medves of 1 Wing, Kingston, Ontario, who informed me Canadian nose art came alive during the war in Afghanistan. He asked, "Would you like to repaint a replica helicopter nose art from Afghanistan?" My mind said "No", but the urge was too great and I replied "Yes." Now I faced a new learning curve and the following history unfolded.
Modern Canadian manned aircraft nose art reappeared with Joint Task Force Afghanistan Air Wing helicopters, which became Canadian Helicopter Force Afghanistan. Beginning on the 24th of December, 2008, six ex-U.S. Army helicopters, from the 101st Airborne, landed at Kandahar Airfield, property of Canadian Forces, and three carried American nose art. The helicopters were officially named "Chinooks" and the Canadians now joined an elite group known as "hookers". [A slang term for the huge loads they sling] The helicopter was named for the "Chinookan" Indians who inhabited the upper and lower Columbia River in the states of Washington and Oregon. I first learned Canadians live in a much more politically sensitive world today and the personalities of the majority of air and ground crews helped determine a more appropriate helicopter nose art style. One point remained the same, nose art, no matter what shape or name, provide esprit de corps, and are a talisman of good luck for air and ground crews alike.
Along with five others Boeing Chinook S/N 147201, was delivered 24 December 2008. Here, we see 201 as a backdrop to a handover ceremony. Pilots and soldiers of the United States Arm 101st Airborne regiment hand over the American Chinook to their brother aviators of Edmonton's 408 Squadron, normally a Griffon unit. DND Photo

The Canadian Government purchased 100 CH-146 helicopters under the Utility Tactical Transport Helicopter program in 1992. Delivered from 1995 to 1997, they took the official title Griffon, the name and spelling being adopted due to its use by Agusta-Westland [Bell] which builds the military model 412 under licence in Italy. On the 26th of November 2008, Canadian Forces announced eight Griffon helicopters would be modified to act as escorts for the six Chinook helicopters. In January of 2009, a Canadian CH-147D Chinook made its debut flight from its base at Kandahar Airfield, while modified Griffon utility Tactical helicopters provided escort and over watch protection for the larger Chinooks.
The first Canadian Griffon nose art appeared in early 2009 painted by M/Cpl. Gordon Bennett, was 'Double Ace' due to a series of bird strikes helicopter #146414 suffered.
During the last Canadian rotation in 2011, a group of talented maintainers including Tim Patry, Steve Forth and Corporal Richard Aucoin painted five Griffon helicopters with Squadron nose art. All designs were first submitted by troops to a 'design review board', led by the Squadron Air Maintenance & Engineering Officer. The selection then moved up the chain of command for final approval.

The completion of the last operational mission of Canadian Helicopter Force Afghanistan took place on July 27, 2011, ending an incredible 31 months of Canadian tactical aviation history. The most outstanding accomplishment by 1 Wing was the staffing of the air wing under extremely tight time restraints. These Canadians were able to refine new combat tactics, procedures, and techniques which will be passed on when new, built for Canada CH-147F Chinook helicopters arrive in 2013. Canada's first expeditionary force with helicopters in the Afghanistan combat theatre saved untold lives on the brutal Afghan roads, and now their nose art is forever part of our Canadian Forces history.
This article is dedicated to all the Canadian Forces personnel who served and those who gave their lives during the war in Afghanistan. I wish to salute the members of 1 Wing who were responsible for the reincarnation of Canadian 'nose art', and without your help this story would not be possible. To the helicopter nose artists "Thank you." You have joined an elite group who painted aircraft from 1939-45, and I know they would approve.
Today military museums are run by senior retired military officers, bureaucrats, and civilians who have a limited idea what art can mean in time of war. After 45 years I have a very good idea, and it all began a long time ago when I painted a little Christmas mural on the Cypriot Green Line.

Chinook Nose Art
This Second World War sexy style pose was the only nose art painted by Master Corporal Robert Bannen. It was painted on Chinook 147201. The Miss Behavin nose art was liberated/copied from a Quebec City night club. Sexy nose art combined with double entendre titles, while perhaps not politically correct these days, was the most common subject for nose artists since the beginning. Randy behaviour and salacious artwork can be forgiven of those young men who put their lives on the line for our freedoms. Photo: Ed Storey

US Army Chinook S/N147202, was also delivered on the 28th of December, 2008. This 40-year old helicopter was then painted by Tim Patry with an updated Vietnam-War style nose art: The Magic Bus depicting, a yellow school bus with dual rotors. The Magic Bus was shot down while in service with the RCAF and destroyed on the 5th of August, 2010. It was replaced by a leased CH-47D, S/N147207. The nose art was not repainted on the replacement helicopter. Photo: Ed Storey
A more simplified nose art was applied to Chinook 147203 - a stenciled naked, bat-winged she-devil with a trident - The Flying Devil. The dust/sand problems in the Afghan theatre are pretty evident in this shot. DND Photo

Canadian Forces Chinook helicopters including 201 fly in formation during a training mission for OP MOSHTARAK. Task Force Freedom, Canada's Helicopter presence in Afghanistan was preparing for the largest air assault since the Second World War. The Canadian component consisted of 3 Chinook helicopters, 4 Griffon helicopters and approximately 60 Canadian Forces members. Their mission was to insert British, Estonian and Afghan troops into the village of Nad Ali. The village was considered to be an insurgent hot spot and locals were warned to stay inside their homes. Joint Task Force Afghanistan (JTF-Afg) was the Canadian Forces (CF) contribution to the international effort in Afghanistan. Its operations focus was on working with Afghan authorities to improve security, governance and economic development in Afghanistan. JTF-Afg comprised more than 2,750 CF members.

RCAF Boeing Chinook, S/N 3147204, received Canadian-painted nose art Black Jack. One can see the effects of operating aircraft in a desert setting, with oil and dust making this aircraft appear to be worn out and tired. DND Photo
A nice close up of RCAF Boeing Chinook Black Jack by M/Cpl. Gordon Bennett, shows a grim Jack the Ripper character, again with a hook, against a full moon, with drops of blood spattered about. More modern nose art, like one sees on American B-1B bombers, tends to be more gruesome than that of the Second World War. Photo: Ed Storey
RCAF Chinook S/N147205 came from the US Army with nose art of the Social Distortion which was modified by Canadians [by M/Cpl. Gordon Bennett] and given red hockey helmet, white maple leaf, stick and a new name – 2 for Hooking. Here we see 205 about to sling or "hook" an M777 artillery piece. DND photo
Following the time-honoured tradition of the double entendre title, 2 for Hooking is about the most Canadian of titles imaginable. In the great Canadian game of hockey, a player can be penalized 2 minutes in the penalty box for hooking, or pulling down an opponent with his hockey stick. On the other hand, crew members of the Chinook are proud to call themselves "hookers" as one of the prime roles of the Chinook is as a heavy lift helo, slinging or "hooking" payloads such as supplies or artillery pieces beneath their fuselages. 2 for Hooking crashed on the 16th of May, 2011, but the nose art was returned to Canada, and the RCAF's history H.Q. in Winnipeg. DND Photo
In fact, 2 for Hooking was simply a more creative and simple over paint of the American nose art that existed on Chinook 147205 when the RCAF took possession of it. Before its new Canadian nickname, it was known as Social Distortion.
The basis for the 2 for Hooking nose art, Social Distortion, was not a random illustration but rather a copy of part of the logo for the long-living American punk rock band Social Distortion which was formed in the late 1970s. Thanks to Robert Allen, our resident punkrockologist and warbird enthusiast for pointing this out. At least the crew of Social Distortion can order t-shirts, ball caps and other swag that would go with their Chinook. Perhaps we will consider a 2 for Hooking t-shirt!

Boeing Chinook CH-147D, 147206, in US Army markings with American nose art, Jack'D Up. The artwork resembles the label from a bottle of Jack Daniels bourbon whiskey. This helo was also transferred to the RCAF and the Jack'D Up nose art was maintained, except for the addition of artwork on the interior which celebrated a Canadian whiskey. DND Photo
A close up of Jack'D Up's design, with a graphic nod to the Jack Daniel's Whiskey label.
Though Chinook 147206, Jack'D Up was a former American helicopter and the nose art was from its American past, the Canadian's who flew it could not help adding a little Canuck touch to the inside... with a tribute to Yukon Jack, a Canadian whiskey of perhaps a rougher palette. The Yukon Jack folks are fond of saying "Yukon Jack is a taste born of hoary nights, when lonely men struggled to keep their fires lit and cabins warm. Boldly flavourful yet surprisingly smooth, there is no spirit like Yukon Jack." Photo: Ed Storey
CH-146 Griffon Nose Art
Griffon [serial 146401] was the first CH-146 to receive approved nose art - depicting guns with the Bat symbol of the 1 Wing Crest. The guns represented the new approved M134 mini-Gatling gun and the .50 cal. machine gun. The spelling with only one "L" stood for the Tactical Helicopter community "Tac. Hel". This original nose art was over painted by mistake and lost. The original work was done by MCpl. Tim Patry. Replica painted by Clarence Simonsen 29 April 2012. Photo: Richard Aucoin
A close up of CH-146 Griffon S/N 146425 Dragon's Breath. The name was in reference to the Taliban's moniker for the two M3M guns mounted on the Griffon – Allah's Breath of Death. Photo: Richard Aucoin
Griffon serial 146482, featured a red Gyrfalcon (the squadron's symbol) called Aggressive Falcon with Canadian Flag. Named for all personnel from 430 Gyrfalcon Squadron who served Canada and abroad. Photo: Ed Storey
Griffon 146414 featured a fist swingin' Popeye cartoon sporting tattoos of the Canadian flag and the RCAF's roundel and the title To the Finish. The art was based on the 420 Squadron (Shearwater, Nova Scotia) crest and motto "Pugnamus Finitum" - We Fight to the Finish! Photo: Richard Aucoin
RCAF CH-146 Griffon 164465 went by the name of Gun Slinger, referring to the M135 Gatling Gun and the 50 cal machine gun that it toted. Photo: Richard Aucoin

Music | Nu Metal? Does It Offend You, Yeah? spikes dance beats with enough riffs to make even metalheads bang
By Jeff Inman
Let's blame the '80s. Or more specifically, let's blame dance music in the '80s. Or even better, blame Al Jourgensen. It's all his fault. And maybe Dave Gahan's. OK, those guys from Gang of Four, too. They're all responsible for the fact that dance music has become the new metal. Yeah, that's right, the new metal. Sure, that's an odd thing to say. You're probably not going to find a Dethklok diehard bidding up scalped Daft Punk tickets on eBay. And it's a safe bet that if anyone tried to shake their butts at a Children of Bodem show, they'd be shivved within seconds. But, trust me on this: Dance music suddenly has the density of lead.
The evidence: Look at the current crop of funk junkies scoring legions of fans. French duo Justice tour with massive Marshall stacks and a giant light-up cross that looks like it was lifted from the Holy Church of Gene Simmons. Ratatat proudly proclaims it used over 70 guitars on one song alone. Half of the Canadian duo MSTKRFT was once in a grinding punk band, and if you replaced all those gurgling synths with guitars, he could easily get the group back together. Same goes with Simian Mobile Disco. Hell, LCD Soundsystem is already there. And newbies Does it Offend You, Yeah?—well, the group didn't dream of bringing back Big Beat. The group set its sights on something a little more snarling.
"Really, we wanted the band to be a mix of two of our favorite groups," says guitarist Morgan Quaintance, "Prodigy and Rage Against the Machine."
The thing is, he's not kidding. While DIOYY does have a certain love for the cowbell—thus the Gang of Four thing—and certain tracks like "Being Bad Feels Pretty Good" bubble with enough Casio love to make Depeche Mode weep, the band really does flat-out rock. Sure, there's no Che-inspired lyrics or pyrotechnic-sparking beats, but DIOYY's debut You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into (Almost Gold) sounds as punishing as it does fun.
Like "Battle Royale." While the first minute plods along, a keyboard pulsating while drummer Rob Bloomfield taps out a beat suitable for any Rapture fan, the instrumental quickly transforms into fist-pumping funk and the beats go all Tommy Lee. Noise swirls and stutters—pure Ministry at its most sample-driven. Then come the guitar harmonies and chunky chords. The only thing missing is a blast of orc-loving vocals. Or consider the appropriately titled "We Are Rockstars." While the verses sprint straight for Daft Punk, complete with Vocoder vocals and swelling synthetic basslines, the bridge might as well come with a spiked wristband. "Let's Make Out": The hooks are pure candy pop; the riffs hard as granite. And "Weird Science"—well, between the distorted bass and squealing keyboards, the group samples someone barfing. That's totally metal.
"This is what sounds interesting to us," Quaintance says. "This whole mix of things: It gets us going. That's what music is for."
And that mix is sucking in gobs of fans. DIOYY is already a phenom back home in England, the Reading-based band scoring mounds of critical praise. The group is getting roughly the same response here, DIOYY's tent-decimating set at last week's Coachella festival sparked plenty of conversations. All of which has Quaintance a little confused. He's not sure what all the hubbub is about, though he's more than willing to go along for the ride.
"Yeah, I don't really know why it's working," he says. "I guess I can understand why people like it if you come see us live. The show is pretty cool. But it's baffling to me why we're getting all this attention when I know some really good groups back home that aren't getting any. The whole industry is a mystery to me, actually."
Now, as for the Ministry, Depeche, Gang of Four thing, think about it. All three redefined dance music—even Jourgensen, who had his stint with industrial's shimmy side before going all aggro. Combine the three—the intestine-twisting guitars of Ministry, the plastic hooks of Gahan et al, and those disco-loving beats straight from Gang of Four's set list—and you've got a protoplasmic fluid that's ripe to spark new, stadium-ready electro-rock that will get even Atreyu junkies headbanging along to the beat. Quaintance has seen it. "People go crazy when we play live," he says. Even the ones who you'd least expect. You're just going to have to trust me on this.

I don't know about you but I am completely over this dull, grey winter weather. I am ready for sunshine, warmth, and all the colors of spring. To tide me over until that day comes, I decided to bring a bit more life into my home with a fun dye project.
Rit turned 100 years old this year (OMG can you believe it?!) so to celebrate a century of color, and to give my dining room a much needed makeover, I recreated one of their vintage ads with a modern twist!
If you are looking to refresh the art in your home, then boy do I have a treat for you! This illustrated beauty print is one you can download for free! That's right, all you have to cover is printing cost (which was well under $5). It would be such a cute addition to a bathroom or by a vanity, don't you think?!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is an academic field of study which generally studies the goal of emulating human-like intelligence. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines"
Gartner predict that by 2018, 6 billion connected objects will be requesting support – meaning that strategies, technologies and processes will have to be in place to respond to them. It will become necessary to think of connected devices less as 'things', but more as customers and consumers of services in themselves – and as such in need of constant support. The need for AI will be more prominent at that stage under the pressure of the huge number of devices and sensors.


Home-work commuting is known to be one of the major components of human mobility and therefor always attracted much research attention. One of the well-known assumptions being the focus of many works in this area is the universal uniformity of commute times. However, quantifications of commute patterns have often been baffled by the intrinsic differences in the data collection methods, which make the observations from different countries incomparable. In the present work we use mobile phone data offering a common methodology for investigating into the mobility pattern in different parts of the world including entire countries as different as Portugal and Ivory Coast as well as cities (Boston) also comparing results with those obtained from vehicle GPS traces in Milan. We showed that despite substantial spatial and infrastructural differences, the commute time distributions and average values are indeed largely independent of commute distance or country.
So cell phone data corroborates a mean commute time of about 1 hour each day. Yacov Zahavi and others have been talking about this for decades. (I have done a few papers on this topic myself.) It is always good to see more empirical evidence, and such a large data set. The method uses some inferences to determine when someone left home (last phone call at home (most frequented) cell phone tower) and arrived at work (first phone call at work (2nd most frequented) cell phone tower).
There are some details I am not clear about.
I am not always on the phone, and often don't call just before departing or just after arriving … I would have picked the minimum time of all days when they had calls at home and work (since on the extreme day they are off and on the phone continuously, but on others not), but they don't say they did that. Also towers serve big areas, and entering a tower zone does not mean arriving at work or home. Still, good to see data used in interesting ways, it is just important to be careful about interpretation.
I think the claim of universality needs to be tempered, since mean commute time (Figure 5(a) varies from under 60 minutes average in Boston to almost 80 minutes in Ivory Coast, a non-trivial difference.
I also think "human" in the title is unnecessary, until we find other species that have home/work commutes.
A student asked what books should he read. That of course depends. These are some books I liked about streets and traffic.


Yes that's exactly what I'm using in the mean time . However it is a pain without calendar sync. On a side note I am really mad at Mac Desktop Manager because when I set it to "merge" my BB contacts with Exchange it just deleted all of the BB ones.


Consumers often evaluate similar products by specific metrics of interest to them. In the auto industry, for example, miles per gallon (mpg) is an important metric for consumers because it correlates to how much money per week it will cost to drive a car.
But how do manufacturers know what an acceptable mpg will be for the vehicle they are producing? Using advanced analytics, auto manufacturers can use vehicle attributes and mpg for similar automobiles in the market to predict what an acceptable mpg will be for their car coming off the assembly line.
In this lab, you'll explore and visualize data in Azure Machine Learning and learn how to create a simple predictive model.

AutoCrib Announces New 58,000-Square-Foot...
July 1, 2015 TUSTIN, CALIF
AutoCrib Announces New 58,000-Square-Foot Manufacturing Facility And Warehouse In Tustin, Calif.
AutoCrib®, the original pioneer and de facto standard of in "point of use" vending systems, today announced the move of its U.S. headquarters to a new, 58,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and warehouse in Tustin, Calif. Moving from their previous location in Santa Ana, Calif., the new facility will serve as AutoCrib's corporate headquarters and the primary location for designing and manufacturing industrial vending machines and providing technical support and customer service for its clients around the globe. AutoCrib is the creator of world's first industrial vending machine, a technology solution that allows manufacturing companies to cost-effectively control and track tools and supplies that are issued to their employees.
"AutoCrib's new facility is well suited for our assembly line approach and the production of our world-class robotic carousel vending machines including our latest invention the Tambour TX750," said Stephen Pixley, CEO of AutoCrib. "Our new headquarters will further enhance AutoCrib's manufacturing operations and allow us to best serve our clients worldwide. Previously operating out of three separate buildings, the size and layout of this new facility will enhance our operational efficiencies, production capabilities and allow us to maintain our superior customer service under one roof."
Twice as large as the previous location, AutoCrib's newest headquarters will accommodate a growing local staff of over 100 employees. The new facility also makes it possible to manage all operations under one roof including sales, manufacturing, warehouse support, customer service and training. Two levels of office space include a 15,000-square-foot high-tech customer service center and 45,000 square feet dedicated to production, with testing machines directly adjacent to support. Other features of the new facility includes a state-of-the art training classroom, more cubicle space for employees and additional production lines, break-rooms and conference rooms.

Demand for high quality, private primary schools is higher than ever across the nation, and especially in densely populated metropolitan areas like New York. Among the most sought after and fastest growing schools in the Brooklyn area is Yeshiva Ateret Torah, which looks after almost 1,500 students ranging from Pre-K all the way up through high school.
Like most top schools, predicting capacity for the following school year with enough lead-time is difficult at best. As such, during the spring of this year, Yeshiva Ateret Torah discovered it was going to be quite short on classrooms due to a surge in applications from new incoming students. Time was of the essence with school scheduled to get back into session in the fall – necessitating a flexible, fast, yet affordable space solution.
No stranger to modular construction after having been a long-time, repeat customer of Nadler Modular Structures, the school evaluated what options it had. Once again modular was the way to go, but this time the solution was a little different.
After Nadler Modular worked with Yeshiva Ateret Torah to define the specific space and usage requirements, Nadler looked for the best modular options that could also save the school money wherever possible. This included both the opportunity to design and build new modular construction, in addition to sourcing existing modular structures that could be repurposed to meet the school's requirements – a unique benefit of modular construction.
Renovated reuse of modular construction involves reconfiguring a modular building and changing the existing factory-built commercial structure to meet the needs of a new application that's unique to the structure's original design. Both permanent and temporary modular buildings can be eligible for renovated reuse. This methodology is so well proven, that the Modular Building Institute (MBI) has established a hall of fame award category for some of the most innovative designs.
After some due diligence, Nadler located an existing modular building originally built for another educational institution that had come upon some unfortunate financial difficulties and was thus shutting down its operations. Included in the school's fixed assets was a modular structure that while several years old, had never been utilized. Repurposing this existing modular structure would provide significant cost savings.
Nadler was able to successfully repurpose the existing modular structure for Yeshiva Ateret Torah in time for school to reopen in September. The structure will satisfy a variety of space requirements across its 120 feet in length X 48 feet in width; delivering eight classrooms; a staff breaks area; functional office space; and a spacious multi-fixture bathroom.
Not only was the Yeshiva Ateret Torah school able to accommodate its surge in student population by growing its capacity quickly over the summer months; but did so while enjoying substantial cost savings through the reuse of modular structures thanks to Nadler.

Characters, Season 2 characters
Frederick Amnell
Portrayed by: Michael Nouri
● First Appearance: Bound
● Last Appearance: Bound
Frederick Amnell was the father to Confessors Dennee and Kahlan Amnell. After their mother dies and he was released from Confession, he revealed how brutal he really was by forcing his daughters to Confess people in order for them to do his bidding. This ended when another Confessor found his daughters and took them to Thandor. He only appears in the season two episode 'Bound' when Kahlan, Zedd and Cara approach him to get one of Kahlan's mother's possessions in order to free Kahlan from a maternity spell cast by Nicci.
Frederick once fell in love with Lia, the daughter of a stone carver. But his father, who had other plans, commissioned him into the Dragon Corps. Before his service was over, Kahlan's mother Confessed him in battle and took him as her mate. Not long after Dennee was born, her mother died and Frederick was released from Confession.
Brutality Edit
Frederick forced his daughters to Confess other people and order them to give him all their possessions. It is assumed that this is how he got his estate, which was the most admired in all of Grumalia. When Kahlan or Denee would resist, he bound their hands, and this is revealed to have traumatised Kahlan deeply. He would even make them Confess women and order them to his bed. Despite all this, Frederick feared his daughters because of their power. Kahlan used to pray to the Creator to free them from their father's brutality. Her prayers were answered when another Confessor found them and took them to Thandor.
Later life Edit
After Darken Rahl's death, a warlord named Aramus took over Frederick's estate and threw him in jail. A few months later, his elder daughter Kahlan, who was then the Mother Confessor, released him from jail in the hopes of him helping her retrieve her mother's possessions from the estate. They are caught by Aramus' guards, and at the same time Nicci has a man beat her up in order for Kahlan to feel it too. One of the guards almost kills Kahlan, but Frederick saves her. The next day, after Zedd breaks the maternity spell by summoning Kahlan's mother's spirit (briefly), Kahlan thanks Frederick for saving her life and gives him her mother's ornaments for him to start anew. Frederick then gives her one of his wife's necklaces, saying that they belong to her and Dennee. He agrees to start anew "not because the Mother Confessor told me to, but because my daughter asked me to."

Q: ProgressBar crashing activity(null object reference / or not visible) In the following code of my MainActivity (which downloads a json I need in another activity and shows a loading progress bar), which starts before launching HomeActivity, I get a null object reference error (on the getProgress() method), but HomeActivity then starts anyway if I press back button.
I have searched for this kind of error, but the only solution that seems working is the one that let me starts the HomeActivity after some delay, changing setProgress method like this: (but it seems that the bar doesn't change and I don't think it's a real solution to the problem)
public void setProgress(ProgressBar bar, int progress) {
        int oldProgress = bar.getProgress();
        int totalProgress = oldProgress + progress;
        bar.setProgress(totalProgress);

        if (bar.getProgress() == 100) {

            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    final Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, HomePage.class);

You`re vote doesn`t matter
President Trump lost the election in his second term. He lost because president Biden got far more votes than Trump. Not only that. Biden is the most popular president in the United States ever. No one is even near. Not Obama. Nor Clinton. Nobody.
But how is it possible? Biden was just sitting in his own basement during the pandemic, while Trump talket to 80,000 live on a football-stadium and had a tremendous rally. People were enthusiastic about Trump and bought flags and hats, but nobody cared about Biden. It doesn`t make sence. What in the world happened?

The Deep State fixed it. The establishment was in a big war against Trump, and we all know it. Trump is one of the few presidents who didn`t do everything the establishment said to him. He did what he thought was the right thing to do.
In other words; the president is a puppet. And that can be a huge problem. One of the biggest puppets today is president Joe Biden. As we can see, the deep state is giving him a lot of notes that he has in his pocket when he talk to MSM (mainstreem media). This is the opposite of Trump.
One good example of this is when president Bush said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction right after 9/11. The United States went to war on that information, but it was all a big lie. But where did it come from? The establishment of course. The deep state.
The same thing can be said about Afghanistan, and Hillary Clinton told you all the pure truth about the war in Afghanistan live on Fox News, July 18, 2010. She said that the United States created the problems in Afghanistan. They created a monster.
They went to Pakistan and supported Mujaheeden with guns. They trained them to fight against the communists Soviet Union. And they won. But it didn`t stop there. A new problem rose, and the next problem was those the U.S has trained in Pakistan which is Taliban today.
So what are we gonna do in this world if presidents, prime ministers and politicians are powerless? What are we gonna do in this world if ordinary people are powerless? You`re vote doesn`t matter. The establishment does. The Deep state does.
We all know that the establishment was in war against Trump, and MSM was on the same team. They made the false narrative about the Russia-gate. Made a lot of lies about Trump and started a character murder campaign.
But now, it seems like the MSM is turning their back on president Biden. They are beginning to understand that they have been in bed with the Deep State. They lied about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but they lied about the war in Afghanistan for about two decades too. What a shame.
I have talked about this for years, and John F. Kennedy warned you about the intel and the military industrial complex in the early 60`s. We all know that he wanted to crush CIA and he didn`t feel good about the military. Trump was in the same boat and was in a war against the establishment.
The establishment said they wanted to go to war against Trump right after the election in 2017, and we all know the rest of that story. We also know that Trump lost to a much «better» candidate in 2020.
But everything is controled by the Deep State with unelected generals, intel operations and MSM on top of that. This is extremely dangerous for a democracy, because it isn`t the people`s will anymore. It is something above the people. In other words; it`s not a democracy anymore.
Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. It is a system where people can change their rulers in a peaceful manner and the government is given the right to rule because the people say it may.
The people. Not the Deep State. Not the establishment.
Attorney Sidney Powell said she wanted to release the Kraken during the election earlier this year, but instead a lot of extremists stormed Capital Hill and tried to overthrow the governement. We all know that the police helped them.
I think Powell will be back and last word isn`t said in this case. It`s about the U.S democracy, and Trump was the one to fix it. To save America and make it great again.

More than 2 million early ballots already cast in Georgia runoffs
Georgia is the most important state at the moment, and control of the Senate hangs on Georgia runoffs. If Republicans win in Georgia, they will have control over the senate, and that will make it difficult for the socialists with their radical socialist agenda.
2020 was the year socialism went mainstream. The dangerous ideology, which has failed everywhere it has been tried and ruined countless lives, is on its way to becoming the default economic policy of the Democratic Party. This terrifying trend threatens the future of every American, Nikki Haley tweeted yesterday.
What will the future of the United States look like in 2021? It`s up to the people in Georgia. More than 2 million ballots cast in Georgia senate runoff elections in an already rigged election.

83% of Republicans said they didn`t believe Joe Biden won
The more you lie and the bigger the lie is, the more people believe in it. I have never in my life seen so much lie as it is right now. Do the Media Mob really believe that people are stupid? 83% of the Republicans believe there was voter fraud in the election. That`s alarming.
Putin was that last leader in the West to congratulate Biden as he was officially the next US President. But the fact is that the real date is 20 January, according to the Constitution, which means the Trump team has four weeks left to come up with evidence of massive fraud.
The corruption is right in front of our eyes. What the elite establishment has done is unbelievable, and the fight against the rotten system continues. The next revolution is just getting started. Drain the swamp.

A man born in 1850 voted for Joe Biden
Joe Biden is the next President of the United States, and statesmen from all around the world is congratulating him. How in the world is that possible? It is possible because The Trump Hate Media Mob called the election for Joe Biden.
But they're not supposed to decide who the next president is or not. It isn`t the Media Mob`s job. Congress is doing that job. In other words. It is Fake News.
The Media Mob said Trump colluded with Russia when he won four years ago, but it was all a big lie. Russia Hoax. They also came up with the Ukraine narrative. They made it all up. It was a big lie. Fake News.
Now, we see the U.S election being stolen from Trump, but Trump has talked about it for weeks and months, so it`s not a surprise to see the mess we see right now. Trump and his team have filed new lawsuits over balloting, so this will end up in the Supreme Court.
According to lawyer Sidney Powell, there is identified 450,000 ballots that miraculously ONLY have a vote for Joe Biden and NOT Donald Trump. What they did was to switch the votes from Trump to Biden. There has been a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election from «We the people of the United States of America.»
This is done to delegitimize and destroy votes for Donald Trump to manufacture votes for Joe Biden. Massive numbers of dead people have voted. One of them was born in 1850. He would have been 170 years old this year. This is unbelievable.
There is a massive conspiracy behind it all and they need to recount all of the votes in all states. Sidney has a list of ballots that have only Biden on the ticket. We are talking about 98,000 in Pennsylvania, 90,000 in Georgia, 42,000 in Arizona, 115,000 in Michigan and 62,000 in Wisconsin.
All of them with Joe Biden`s name on the ticket. Not Trump`s name.
According to Rudy Gulliani, 800,000 votes in 10 states is in question.
If this is true, this is a massive conspiracy. A massive Fraud.
The Trump team is getting reports of all kinds of fraud. One man has been ordered to backdate ballots. No ballots received after the polls closed on the voting day should even be counted, but they continued.
Multiple states that didn`t even follow the rules of their own legislature. That`s a federal constitutional issue.
If you count the real votes Donald Trump will win. He is the president of the United States, Sidney said.
What will happen next? Donald Trump can be the next president of the United States and the Deep State, the Dems and the Media Mob will claim that Trump stole the election. They will also label him as a dictator.
Trump needs to hurry up and take this case to the Supreme Court as soon as possible.
There is a federal statute that means December 8 will function as what`s known as the «safe harbor» deadline. Occurring about a month after Election Day, December 8th is the deadline for the final resolution of all election disputes, including court challenges. It is the final date on which states of electors must be chosen by states for submission to Congress.
If things aren`t settled by then, Congress is under no obligation to accept the validity of electoral votes submitted by states. Instead, the newly-elected Congress will gain legal authority to determine the winner in any state that has not resolved its election drama by the deadline.
The next two months are extremely important in the United States of America.

The Ides of March and the European Union
Dont forget March 15, and what happened 44 BC. The founder of the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar was assassinated and killed by members of the Roman Senate. It is the worlds most famous political murders.
The problem was that they didn`t know what to do after Caesars death, so they went from a republican system of government and became an empire. This is actual today. The democracy is under attack.
It should be understood that the Optimate and the Populare were not political parties in conflict with each other but, rather, political ideologies which many people shifted toward and from, regardless of class in society.
Caesar was assassinated by a group of rebellious senators, and a new civil war broke out. The constitutional government of the Republic was never fully restored, and the Roman Empire began. Rome finally became an empire at the end of the 1th century BC.
British historian Edward Gibbon argued in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire» (1776) that the Romans had become decadent, they had lost civic virtue.
Glen W. Bowersock has remarked; "We have been obsessed with the fall: it has been valued as an archetype for every perceived decline, and, hence, as a symbol for our own fears." It remains one of the greatest historical questions, and has a tradition rich in scholarly interest.
Europe has since the fall of Rome been, not only Euro Zone, but Danger Zone. Are you able to count all the wars in Europe since the fall of Rome? I wrote about the Revolution of 1848 on May 6th last year. We now see many similarities in Europe today.
The Revolution of 1848 was also known as the Spring of Nations or Springtime of the Peoples. It was a series of political upheavals throughout Europe in 1848. It remains the most widespread revolutionary wave in European history.
The revolution was essentially democratic in nature, with the aim of removing the old feudal structure and creating independent national states. Over 50 countries were affected, and important factors were widespread dissatisfaction with political leadership and the upspring of nationalism to name a few.
Now, it is 2017, and many of the same things going on. Political turmoil, Populism and Nationalism.
Britain voted to leave the European Union last summer, and Netherland can be the next country to follow. But how?
The blond populist Geert Wilders must win the election in Netherland. He is the anti-Islam leader of the Dutch far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) and he is riding high on a wave of populism. Geert Wilders has pledged to close the Netherlands' borders, shut down mosques and leave the euro and EU if he gets into power.
Wilder`s problem is that no one is willing to form a coalition with him, and that will result in a political mess after the election. There are very few, if any parties, that will go into Parliament with him.
A triumph for Wilders would emboden French voters to back far-right Presidential candidate Marine Le Penn in elections beginning next month. Le Penn will also withdraw France from the Eurozone, and that would be a big threat to the euro.
Latest polls tell us that Mark Rutte will win and Wilders will get about 19 out of 150 seats in Netherland. In France, Le Penn leads the first poll, but she is widely expected to lose in the second round.
We are living in a critical moment right now.

Marguerite, Goya & Honey Belle – Dr Dawn Gould – IMAGINEMAG!
MARGUERITE: We had a visitor upstairs. We heard our human call "quick bring the camera, there is a gecko who wants a picture taken." After lots of excitement and picture taking, the gecko hung around perhaps for more attention.
These small lizards eat insects, they have toe pads and climb smooth and vertical spaces – this information from our humans. After all was quiet again I sat staring at him/her running around the ceilings of different rooms. I walked with my head in an upright position following the movements. It looks like the lizard is moving upside down. Mind you after a while my neck began to feel sore, so it was goodbye to the visitor.
GOYA: I have been taken around the garden. Not sitting on my human's shoulder but being carried around, for safety in a smaller cage – my big cage, is much too heavy to be carried about. Oh dear ! the plants do need water but the humans say, "the rains will come." Now back to my job – checking the details.
HONEY BELLE: " Our humans have had colds. First one then the other." Relaxing meant we could keep them warm and give them lots of cuddles. They are much better now.

Developers will prevent other YouTube channels from using their content soon
YouTube shorts is a platform created by YouTube that works similarly to TikTok. Some authors believe that other YouTube channels are using their content as short videos without notifying them. When the permission window is displayed on the video editing screen, the user can zoom out. Users also learned that permissions are permissions granted to each individual video rather than the entire channel. Select the video of the short film on YouTube.
This means that creators who do not want their footage to appear in the short film need to turn off the settings for each video. In addition, creators cannot turn off this feature in the video upload workflow. Except for YouTube data, not all videos can be disabled. Many people worry that YouTube allows users to use other people's content to improve the quality of their short videos. Jan Korzin said in a copyrighted YouTube video that platform rules continue to allow others to access the video content.Corzine said that he is happy that YouTube at least allows developers to track how its material is used, but the problem is that YouTube doesn't take it seriously and doesn't care about short videos.
How to present. Without prior notice. A brief permissions window unexpectedly appeared on the loading screen. Since the terms of use also allow other YouTube users to use the contact information of other YouTube users, this policy may not make any sense. The only requirement for users is to be honest with them. YouTube is undoubtedly a huge platform, and this insidious activity is simply frustrating for content creators. To disable the permission to use short videos, this option is available on the detail page, where users usually upload their videos. Show more options as shown below. Select it and the settings will appear in the "Movie Resolution" section.
Google releases long-awaited Chrome update and sweeps the web
In March, the beta version of YouTube shorts was launched in the United States as a beta version of the platform.The service is currently in beta testing, but will allow users to create short video clips with platform audio. He also appreciates the "Create" option, which appears directly below the selected music video, even though it does not appear to be released in the United States. With the official release of YouTube Shorts, Google announced the upcoming changes to the Shorts permissions on the help forum page to make it safer for developers to prevent their work from being used.
Camilla of the YouTube team said: "If you opt out, you can uncheck the "Subtitles (people can view this content)" checkbox when uploading the video or in the YouTube video editing settings. The studio. This will also enable The sound of existing short videos of your content is muted. We will also add an option to exclude all videos in bulk and set default download settings. You cannot choose to use the audio from the short video to make other short videos. However, you can delete the video at any time. This will mute the sound from other shorts that used it.

VP Academic candidate profile: Max Holmes
Max Holmes, former AMS elections administrator and the current associate VP Academic and University Affairs (VPAUA), is running in the by-election for VPAUA on a platform of affordability, diversity, improving the student experience and experiental learning.
Before Daniel Lam stepped down from the role earlier this summer, Holmes worked directly underneath him as his associate in the VP Academic office. After Lam resigned, Holmes worked with interim VP Academic Jakob Gattinger in the same capacity.
"[From this experience] I know where our position is with the university right now, I know where our priorities are, I helped to work on the goals that we created," he said, noting that he helped create the Academic Experience Survey report, which he cowrote with Lam. "With helping to make that report, I know where every single executive is going to be moving."
As he explained in an interview with The Ubyssey, Holmes tried to combine the "classic" VP Academic goals with the innovation that he wants to see within the portfolio moving forward.
There are a few goals in his platform that students won't have seen in Daniel Lam's campaign and subsequent work within the office.
Holmes hopes to tackle the issue of university affordability by going the housing route, both by making current on-campus housing more affordable and increasing the rate at which UBC builds new units. He also wants to work with UBC to lobby the provincial government to let the school borrow externally, something that is currently not possible.
Holmes said he wants to approach mental health on campus by conducting a full review of each faculty's academic concession policies with the help of the student Senate caucus and the AMS Advocacy Office.
Ideally, he said, the VPAUA office would then be able to make recommendations and assist the univeristy in making these policies more accessible and helpful for students in need — perhaps the solution would be to advocate for the creation of one overarching policy to avoid unfairness and confusion.
"Academic concessions are very complicated, and also, there's really not a consistent policy across UBC. It's really difficult, and it's completely different depending on which faculty you're in," said Holmes.
Another platform point is the expansion of the Collegia service so that all first-year students — with a priority on commuters — have a place that they can be on campus. He hopes that this will increase the sense of community and connectivity of all students on campus. During the debate, he was asked how much it would cost, and replied that while it would likely result in additional student fees, he would also consider looking for ways to pay for it through the use of UBC's Excellence Fund.
While his platform is expansive, Holmes struggled during the debate to make hard commitments to students. Many of his goals are ambitious to the point that it will be impossible to see their full realization within the seven months that the new VPAUA will serve, but he said he hoped to hold public office hours and work on transparency for the AMS as a whole. Of course, as always, it will be up to students to keep the new VPAUA accountable.
Holmes said during the debate that he is already working with Senate to establish certain ad hoc committees and that he can guarantee that a review of academic concession policies will be conducted during his term.
Holmes also said that his prior experience would likely make for a smooth and continuous transition into the role.
"I'm trying to be able to continue a lot of the projects that I've started in conjunction with my VPs — that's why I decided to run for this position," said Holmes.
"There are some things on my platform that I'm very passionate about. There are some things on my platform that I have gaps in knowledge on, but they're on my platform for a reason. Everything on my platform, I've seen that students want."


Gamaldags, which means old fashioned in Icelandic, features in its yoke rather traditional motifs as seen in many old sweaters. Straight forward and geometrical, the way those motifs are combined together nevertheless allows modern and playful colour combinations. What is nothing but dated in this sweater however, is the slim fit, the elegant waist shaping, my signature short rows to create the scooped neckline, a few raglan decreases to avoid excess fabric at the underarms and an overall very feminine look.
The Icelandic "lopapeysa" is probably the most prominent representation of Icelandic knitting today. It is however a fairly recent invention probably dating back to the 50's and that became immensely popular in the 70's. Traditionally, lopi sweaters have no front or back. They usually don't have any shaping in the body and they are worn rather loose. The lopi sweaters I designed aim to refine the shape of the lopi sweater and come up with different yokes. I felt however that a more typical yoke was missing in my collection: Gamaldags, which means old fashioned in Icelandic, is filling the gap!
Gamaldags's yoke is indeed composed of rather traditional motifs as seen in many old sweaters. Straight forward and geometrical, the way those motifs are combined together nevertheless allows modern and playful colour combinations. What is nothing but dated in this sweater however, is the slim fit, the elegant waist shaping, my signature short rows to create the scooped neckline, a few raglan decreases to avoid excess fabric at the underarms and an overall very feminine look.

Smule, the creators of social music apps like Magic Piano and Glee Karaoke have developed an app that lets you create a whole song from your bicycle, a can of soda, a book, or any other object or sound. MadPad, compatible on the iPhone ($0.99), iPad ($2.99), and iPod can turn any sight or sound into an instrument.
Don't believe it? Watch music being made from a coffee shop. Or from a 1991 Honda.
When you record all of the sounds separately, you record them as video clips, which become an interactive video soundboard with which to create a song. You just tap your finger on the different clips, so that the result is your own beat. After creating a song out of a car or coffee shop, you're probably going to want to share that with your friends. With one click you can share your creation on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, or through email.
If you'd rather ease into the app, you can play around with the free interactive video sets that Madpad comes with, like some from YouTube's Mystery Guitar Man.
So head to your garage, or grab a book from the bookshelf, and make some music!
