Damn, Mario! These Official Nintendo themed Vans are wicked cool!
Contrary to the gamer stereotype, I personally prefer moccasins or formal loafers over sneakers. However, I am obviously going to have to reevaluate my fashion choices because these brand new Official Nintendo themed Vans are making my wallet drool.
These classic sneakers are set to hit retail stores from June 2016 and are designed with unique patterns that harken back to Nintendo's 8-bit golden days, and therefore feature iconic Nintendo characters like Princess Peach, Link, Mario, Donkey Kong and more. There is even a shoe that has the classic NES controller as the primary design – total throwback to the 80s. The best part is that these designs are unobtrusive and actually compliment, rather than detract, from the design and fashion forward feel of the shoes.
My personal favourites, of the currently announced line, are the Old Skool Vans that feature the Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong and the line of 8-bit Mario blocks. I also really like the Sk8-Hi Vans that feature the NES controller pattern.
One has to admire and respect Vans' approach to collaborating with pop culture entities and making shoes that fashion conscious people might actually want to wear, rather than just using an iconic image for the sake of a license. It is one of the reasons why Vans has been able to lock-down collections that feature brands such as Star Wars and The Beatles.
The Official Nintendo themed Vans collection arrives in June 2016, but the images below do not represent the entirety of the collection. More designs should arrive as the shoes are released. Which design is your favourite?


Does anyone have an example of a JavaScipt web map that allows a user to upload a local shapefile to be appended to a feature class in a map service. It seems like this is pretty straight forward. I created a geoprocessing service using the append tool that works in the desktop environments. I am using the upload url to upload the zipped shapefile but don't know how to call that file so that it can be used in my GP services. The GP service only has one input parameter.


Previous Post New (to me) White sewing machine!
Wow, Anna! You look absolutely stunning! That's truly an incredible dress you've created, so chic!
Oh gosh, thank you so much for that lovely comment!
Your dress is stunning, and you look gorgeous in it!
Wow, that is such a classy looking dress. I didn't think I needed the Macaron pattern, but you've changed my mind!
You look gorgeous! Great job! I absolutely love the dress! I've been planning to do one with a sheer dotted swiss yoke (in ivory), but I'm not sure I can pull it off! Truly, this is unbelievably beautiful!
I am so impressed. I've been flipping through the flickr pages for colette patterns, and without diminishing the great work other sewers out there are doing, yours was the first one that made me think think "I would totally pick up that dress if I saw it in a store." Well done.
I'm a new follower of your blog, and love your style in general.
Oh my gosh, thank you for such kind and lovely words!

Eloise has always loved Joan of Arc. Noble, honest and brave, she was everything Eloise wishes to be. And on a bright sunny day in Orleans, Eloise has a very special daydream... A superb re-imagining of Joan of Arc by master storyteller and author of War Horse. "There was only one creature on this earth who really knew Joan. He was a sparrow, just an ordinary sparrow...He was her best friend on this earth, maybe her only friend, too." A young girl faces an impossible task - to save her beloved France from tyrants. To free her country, Joan will lose everyone she has ever loved. But she listens to her heart and believes in her calling. Through patience, perseverance and unbreakable spirit, Joan of Arc leads armies to victory and finds the strength to face the cruellest of destinies.

Develop Brighton Indie Showcase spotlight: Momonga Pinball Adventures
Paladin Studios weighs in
By Matthew Diener
| Jul 1, 2013
| Momonga Pinball Adventures
Some of the most encouraging news ahead of this year's Develop conference in Brighton is that organisers have selected five mobile games to star in the event's prestigious third annual Indie Showcase.
We reached out to the minds behind these five games - which combined make up a full half of the total indie entries nominated - to ask them for their feelings on being nominated to the Indie Showcase and the indie scene in general.
Today, we're featuring Derk De Deus of Paladin Studios - the studio behind Momonga Pinball Adventures, which many critics credited with changing the way gamers thought about pinball.
Pocket Gamer: How does it feel to be a part of Develop's Indie Showcase? Derk de Geus: It's a great honour to be part of it! To get this type of recognition is awesome, and I am looking forward to showing the game to our fellow devs in the UK. This year, a full half of the ten games nominated in the Indie Showcase are mobile titles. Is it easier for indie games to find an audience on mobile?
Well, technically it's easy to publish a game on mobile. Commercially it is probably one of the toughest platforms out there.
It is easy to overestimate the market if you only look at the millions of devices in circulation. While the market is huge, you'll have to compete with thousands of great games, most of them free.
On top of that, when you sell your game for $1, you will need a big following to even break even. There are two ways to reach these people other than a lucky feature by Apple or Google. The first is aggressive advertising, the second is to build a faithful fanbase who can't wait to get a hold on your games.
Neither of those is easy, and both cost a lot of money and time. So yeah, in the end I wouldn't classify mobile as "easy".
Each of the five mobile games featured in the showcase offer vastly different types of gameplay. Have any of the other games in the line-up - mobile or not - caught your eye?
Absolutely - in particular I love Gunpoint, Ibb & Obb and Catch-22. But I might be biased, as all those titles have some connection to The Netherlands.
How will being featured in the showcase impact your studio?
This is the first time I'll be visiting a game event in the UK, so I hope to meet fellow game developers and other game people, like journalists. I also hope to get some feedback on Momonga - who knows what brilliant ideas come up when people play it?
And of course it's always good for our reputation to be there and showcase our game. You never know what it could lead to.
Are you looking forward to Develop as a whole?
Absolutely! I'm looking forward to hanging out with the UK game folks, and it looks like the weather will be perfect for a couple of days in Brighton!

Frequently asked questions to help unmarried couples determine who owns what.
My partner and I don't own much property. Do we need a written contract covering who owns what?
My partner and I are buying a house. Do we need a written property agreement?
My partner makes a lot more money than I do. Should our property agreements cover who is entitled to her income and the items we purchase with it?
What is palimony? And should we make any agreements about it?
Am I liable for the debts of my partner?
If one of us dies, how much property will the survivor inherit?
you might face a serious (and potentially expensive) battle if you split up and can't agree on how to divide what you've acquired. And when things are good, taking the time to draft a well-thought-out contract helps you clarify your intentions.
Another way to deal with owning property together is to use a joint purchase agreement for individual items as you buy them. See our Sample Agreement below.
In addition, we also offer do-it-yourself Living Together Agreements which contain instructions and forms necessary to create various types of agreements. Please see our affiliate site: SmartLegalForms for more information on these products.
How much of the house does each of you own? If it's not 50-50, is there a way for the person who owns less than half to increase his share -- for example, by fixing up the house or making a larger share of the mortgage payment?
How is title (ownership) to be listed on the deed? One choice is as "joint tenants with rights of survivorship," meaning that when one of you dies, the other automatically inherits the whole house. Another option is "tenants in common," meaning that when one of you dies, that share of the house goes to whomever is named in a will or trust, or goes to blood relatives if the deceased partner left no estate plan.
What happens to the house if you break up? Will one of you have the first right to stay in the house (perhaps to care for a young child) and buy the other out, or will the house be sold and the proceeds divided?
If one of you has a buyout right, how will the house be appraised and how long will the buyout take?
Absolutely. Although each person starts out owning all of his or her job-related income, many states allow this to be changed by an oral contract or even by a contract implied from the circumstances of how you live. These types of contracts are ripe for misunderstanding. For example, absent a written agreement stating whether income will be shared or kept separate, one partner might falsely claim the other promised to split his income 50-50. Although this can be tough to prove in court, the very fact that a lawsuit can be brought creates a huge problem. For obvious reasons, it's an especially a good idea to make a written agreement if a person with a big income is living with and supporting someone with little or no income.
Example 1: Rose and Ted have lived together for four years. They've never had any written agreement, but their behavior has been consistent: they've purchased a car, an oak table and a china set, with each one paying half. If they split up, a court is likely to imply an agreement and equally divide the items purchased together.
Example 2: Jon and Steve plan to buy a fixer-upper house and move in together. Jon is a carpenter; Steve is a university professor who makes nearly twice as much as Jon. Jon and Steve plan to own their home equally, so they agree in writing as follows: Steve will pay two-thirds of the mortgage, and Jon will pay one-third. Steve and Jon will equally pay for the materials to fix up the house, and Jon will contribute all the labor. Steve and Jon also agree to equally own all the property, furniture and fixtures they buy once they move in together.
Palimony is a phrase coined by journalists -- not a legal concept -- to describe the division of property or alimony-like support paid to one partner in an unmarried couple by the other after a break-up. Members of unmarried couples are not legally entitled to such payments unless they have a written agreement (or a court finds there was an oral or implied agreement). A written agreement stating that you both will remain financially independent is the best defense against a cry for palimony.
Not unless you have specifically undertaken responsibility to pay a particular debt -- for example, as a cosigner or if the debt is charged to a joint account. By contrast, husbands and wives are generally liable for all debts incurred during marriage, even those incurred by the other person. The one exception for unmarried couples applies if you have registered as domestic partners in a city where the domestic partner ordinance states that you agree to pay for each other's "basic living expenses" (food, shelter and clothing).
Nothing, unless the deceased partner made a will or used another estate planning device such as a living trust or joint tenancy agreement, or, if under the terms of a contract (such as a contract to purchase household furnishings together), the survivor already owns part of the property. This is unlike the legal situation married couples enjoy, where a surviving spouse automatically inherits a major portion of a deceased spouse's property. The bottom line is simple: to protect the person you live with, you must specifically leave her property using a will, living trust or other legal document.
The following sample agreement may be used when you and your non-married partner (or friend) jointly buy personal property (as explained in Question 1 above).
5. That this agreement can be amended, but only in writing, and signed by both Sam and Emiko.
6. That if a court finds any portion of this contract to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of the contract is still in full force and effect.
7. Any dispute arising out of this agreement shall be mediated by a third person mutually acceptable to both of us. The mediator's role shall be to help us arrive at a solution, not to impose one on us. If good faith efforts to arrive at our own solution with the help of a mediator prove to be fruitless, either of us may make a written request to the other that the dispute be arbitrated.
7. Our dispute will be submitted to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. One arbitrator will hear our dispute. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on us and shall be enforceable in any court which has jurisdiction over the controversy.
*If Emiko and Sam don't want the survivor to own the entire stereo system, they should delete this clause. Then, when the first partner dies, the survivor and the deceased partner's estate would own the system in the same proportions as Emiko or Sam did before the death.
**If you both already agree on a mediator, consider naming that person in the contract. Of course, make sure he or she is willing to serve before you do this.
***You can choose to have your dispute heard by three mediators instead of one, but it will be more expensive.

FOPP Class 29 Starts August 29, 2019. Reserve Your Space Now.
Enriching the careers of today's rising stars in the private practice of engineering, environmental sciences, architecture, construction-materials engineering and testing, and related professional disciplines.
FOPP helps rising stars deal with day-to-day realities because each participant acts as the professional of record for the small project FOPP mimics. Small projects are dangerous, because project risk is inversely proportional to project size and complexity. FOPP participants experience this firsthand, even from a distance, thanks to the incisive, hard-edged criticism of an instructor who assumes the role of a no-nonsense, unsympathetic client representative.
One of the nation's best-known and most widely published risk-management consultants—John Philip Bachner—created the FOPP experience based largely on hundreds of firm- and insurer-provided case histories. John knows that claims commonly occur when professionals: fail to establish an effective relationship with the client representative; lack adequate communication skills; make assumptions instead of asking questions; fail to follow instructions; miss deadlines; and allow speed to trump quality when sending a deliverable—even a text message—"out the door." Does any of this sound familiar?
FOPP participants make many of the same mistakes, but far fewer once the course is over.
FOPP hits Millennials' sweet spot.
Studies show that Millennials job hop so much because they cannot find what they're looking for: solid professional development, recognition, and the opportunity to do something big. Insofar as rising stars' professional development is concerned, nothing comes even remotely close to FOPP. No seminar or webinar. No book or video. Nothing. FOPP stands alone. Participants earn recognition just by being selected. Enrolling someone in FOPP says, "We believe in you. We want you here for the long haul. You are a future leader." And as for something big, the research assignment can be just that, developing new approaches that the firm adopts, bringing in new clients, developing new report-delivery mechanisms, and so much more, all of which can show up on the bottom line.
We foster professional attitudes and awareness.
• maintaining communication with the client representative.
FOPP education accelerates key staff's ability to apply these and other "soft skills" that can significantly lower a firm's exposure to negligence-liability claims while simultaneously strengthening bonds between a firm and its clients, as well as the bonds between a firm and those it regards as its future leaders.
We teach skills that address typical project risks.
• become aware of professional-liability-insurance issues.
Take a look at the comments of just a few of the many CEOs who consider the FOPP experience essential.

There's a Word for What I'm Experiencing: Wintering. Maybe You're Feeling it Too
I came across a helpful word recently: wintering.

As winter is a time of retreat and hibernation for much of the natural world, wintering is the

Two points on the board, but Munster feel they have a point to prove when ROG and Racing come to Limerick on Saturday.
THERE WAS MORE of the clatter than the clinical to Munster's draw in Castres on Sunday, but with a tight six-day turnaround before facing Racing 92, they are determined to tidy up their act.
"We worked for all our scores," says Billy Holland post-match, lamenting that Castres' tries were handed over a little easier.
"I think we should have won, but we could easily have lost it in the last five minutes, our discipline was poor in the last five minutes. We did a lot of really good stuff for the previous 75 minutes.
After two years where they were unable to escape the pool stages, last season's return to the semi-final stage has seen them easily slip back into the attitude of a team who feels they belong in the top four. So despite Holland rating an away round one trip to France as the toughest possible start, the men in red were disappointed with two points dropped.
Racing 92 will not be as forgiving however, and Holland issues a warning that the home comfort of Limerick alone won't be enough to set the southern province back to winning ways.
"They're not going to hold any fears. They've experienced what Thomond Park is like, so it's going to be another tough one.
The man who will likely be Holland's opposite number on Saturday is Leone Nakarawa, the scarily-talented former Glasgow lock who looks in every bit as good form as he was when Munster fell to the Warriors in the 2015 Pro12 final. Even with Donnacha Ryan on the injured list, the prospect of Bernard la Roux alongside him and Argentina's Manuel Carizza in reserve is a formidable proposition.
Munster though could be boosted themselves as Jean Kleyn, given a 70% chance of facing Castres last week, will hopefully pick up the extra 30 with another week of recovery. Any easing of the second row injury situation would be very welcome.
"You've Dave O'Callaghan, Darren O'Shea's just back, GG (Gerbrandt Grobler) and Jean Kleyn. You've four big men there who are out injured. Castres bring in (Rodrigo) Capo Ortega, a world class player. He's 35, a massive man around here and he's just back for them.
And yet, if Munster fine-tune their exit strategy and cut down the handling error count, there's nothing to fear.

This is where we started!
It seems a long time ago now but this was where we first started our film career, in 2000 – working with a UK based charity we managed to obtain some funding to take a small crew of 6 young people out to Northern Israel to work with young Israeli Arab Palestinians pupils in an inter faith school – the young people had recently lost a classmate who had been shot dead by the Israeli security forces and we spent time with them, learning about their hopes and dreams. Our 26 minute documentary film was supported by a number of British Members of Parliament, and was used extensively by the sponsoring charity as an educational film, as well as being shown regularly on satellite/cable community channels in the UK.
Filmed originally on a Canon XL2 Digital Video camera in 4:3 aspect ratio. The soundtrack was produced by one of our team members.

Nuselské údolí je údolí potoka Botiče převážně na nuselském katastru v Praze mezi Vinohrady a Vyšehradem. Administrativně spadá z větší části pod městskou část Praha 2, část do Prahy 4 a do Prahy 10, část severně od Botiče (část parku Folimanka, ulice Na Folimance, Pod Nuselskými schody, část Bělehradské a Fričova) do vinohradského katastru.

Poloha Nuselského údolí
Údolí leží na jih od centra Prahy, mezi Novým Městem (částí zvanou Karlov) s klášterem augustiniánů kanovníků při kostele Panny Marie a sv. Karla Velikého, Vyšehradem a Pankrácí. Na jihu a na východě navazuje na zbývající nuselský katastr, s nímž tvořilo od roku 1898 samostatné město Nusle až do připojení ku Praze v roce 1921. Širší geografický pojem zahrnuje již od středověku údolí Botiče (Soběslav přešel kdesi u Nůsel Botič, aby Na Bojišti porazil knížete Bedřicha, přestože předchozí bitvu v lednu 1179 vyhrál odešel však poražen) od vyšehradské pevnosti, přes Dolní Nusle až ke vsi Vršovice, tedy i severní svahy dnešní Grébovky. Nachází se v něm část čtvrti Nusle, která mu dala název, a také sem zasahuje ze severu novoměstský Karlov. Již od 6. ledna 1910 tam fungovala též tramvajová konečná "Nusle-Fričova", sloužící pro elektrickou dráhu Nuselským údolím přes Albertov na Karlovo náměstí. Údolím vede trojkolejná železniční trať spojující smíchovské nádraží s hlavním nádražím a nádražím Praha-Vršovice a tramvajová trať linek 7, 14 a 24. Údolí bylo kdysi částečně vyhloubeno nikoliv zde protékajícím Botičem, ale starým tokem řeky Vltavy v prehistorické době, kdy dnešní Branická skála a Barrandien byly spojeny. Průměrná nadmořská výška nábřeží v Nuselském údolí je 195 m.n.m.

Název a vinařství
Nuselskému údolí se někdy říká Jamrtál. Tento název pochází z německého Jammertal (jammern – bědovat, Tal – údolí, tedy volně "Údolí nářků") a odkazuje na zpustošení údolí koncem třicetileté války). Veselejší byl středověký název Vallis vinarium (Viničné údolí = valis vinearum), pocházející z doby, kdy bylo Nuselské údolí a jeho stráně obrácené k jihu osázeny vinnou révou (vinohrad na Grébovce patřící nyní katastru Královské Vinohrady – Praha 2 a někdejší vinařský lis Vondračka v Perucké ulici je toho soudobým důkazem). Další důkaz podává i znak města Nuslí (je i na domě v Jaromírově ulici pod Nuselským mostem, ve výši druhého podlaží Nusle č.p. 483) z roku 1898 s vinným keřem a vinnou révou v půleném štítě. Další znak Nuslí se nacházel na dvoupodlažním domě v blízké Spytihněvově ulici (Nusle č.p. 100), ten však byl v době normalizace (1971) zbořen a proluka po něm zůstala nezastavěna, ohrazena pouze novou zdí do ulice. Osázení svahu pod "nuselskými hradbami" Nového města pražského vinnou révou je patrné ještě z dobových fotografií z První republiky, kdy probíhala dostavba domů v Jaromírově třídě a na ploše někdejšího fotbalového hřiště Nuselského SK.

Přemostění
Nuselské údolí je přemostěno železobetonovým Nuselským mostem, jedním z nejznámějších mostů v Česku, který svou výškou (40 m) a šedí kontrastuje se starými obytnými domy nacházejícími se pod ním. Život pod Nuselským mostem je občas narušován skoky sebevrahů z mostu, přestože chodník na hraně mostu je již chráněn obtížně překonatelným drátěným plotem. Jejich smutné činy připomíná sochařské dílo od Krištofa Kintery, obrácená pouliční svítilna pod mostem, osvětlující část jeho tubusu. Nuselským mostem prochází linka C pražského metra a přes most je vedena i pražská Severojižní magistrála.

Divadlo a Nuselský pivovar

Nachází se zde (na katastru Nuslí spadajícího pod Prahu 4), mimo jiné, také Divadlo Na Fidlovačce (dříve Tylovo divadlo a Hudební divadlo v Nuslích), a to v místě, kde se kdysi konaly pražské ševcovské slavnosti, při nichž byla nošena ševcovská fidlovačka a upevňována ve formě ozdob na "povelikonoční" stromek.

Nedaleko od divadla se na pravém břehu Botiče mezi potokem a Bělehradskou ulicí nachází budovy dnes již zaniklého Nuselského pivovaru, založeného roku 1694 Janem Josefem Sezimou hrabětem z Vrtby, od roku 2000 prohlášené za kulturní památku (později České vinařské závody). Nuselský pivovar je zmiňován i v Tylově a Škroupově zpěvohře Fidlovačka v souvislosti se sborem sládků zpívajících píseň "Kde je sládek, tam je mládek…", stejně jako jeho zahradní Nuselská pivovarská restaurace (dnes prostor kolem Koliby u Pastýřky v Bělehradské ulici), jako místo jednání hlavních postav hry. Nuselský pivovar byl také předobrazem a inspirací pro knihu Jaroslava Foglara "Hoši od Bobří řeky". Pivovar je od roku 2021 revitalizován rezidenčním projektem "Moje Nusle – Nuselský pivovar".

A National Center for Digital Health Informatics Innovation
One or more keywords matched the following properties of A National Center for Digital Health Informatics Innovation
abstract PROJECT SUMMARY Over the past decade, the CTSAs have made incredible progress in developing informatics tools and services to support institutional or hub-centric translational research. However, robust collaboration between the hubs is required to realize the full potential of the CTSA network, a living ecosystem of collaboration and sharing. We have brought together pioneers of open science, clinical and biomedical informatics, health science libraries, and the NCATS Translator initiative to propose the creation of a National Center for Digital Health Innovation to coalesce the CTSA informatics community together with the open science community to catalyze the next steps in the evolution of biomedical informatics. We will create an open governance model that includes all who would like to participate and collaboratively forge the next steps. We will embrace an ?idea to implementation? model (I2I), supporting the creation of collaboratively developed sustainable infrastructure. We will do this via the axes of open data, open software, open resources, and through two integrated thematic areas of urgent need: rare disease and human health across the lifespan. Underpinning these efforts are innovative models for evaluation, training, and the creation of community challenges as mechanisms to stimulate new and impactful tools and methods. We will leverage the power of an open and team science approach to demonstrate new research opportunities. Our leadership include Oregon Health Sciences University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Washington, Washington University in St. Louis, Northwestern University, Sage BioNetworks, the Jackson Laboratory and the Scripps Research Institute. We have collaborators from all areas of translational informatics including health record vendors, clinical research networks and leaders in open software and open data. Together our efforts will catalyze the next stage in the evolution of the national informatics infrastructure for clinical and translational research.

Q: Ruby Variation with repeating buggy method I need a method written in Ruby which computes Variations. I have already written it in Java, but as I'm new to Ruby, there's just something I'm missing about the Ruby implementation.
The method is supposed to do this:
method(1, "01") => ["0", "1"] <br>
method(2, "01") => ["00", "01", "10", "11"] ...so you get the idea.

note: in the Ruby implementation, I give params like this:
method(2, ["0", 1"])

but that's not an issue.
My Java implementation:
public static List<String> Variations(int strength, String usableChars) {
    List<String> list =
        new ArrayList<String>((int) Math.pow(usableChars.length(), strength));

    if (strength == 0) {
        list.add("");
    } else {
        List<String> l = Variations(strength - 1, usableChars);
        for (char c : usableChars.toCharArray()) {
            for (String s : l) {
                list.add(c + s);
            }
        }
    }
    return list;
}

And it's working fine. But this is my Ruby implementation:
def Variation (strength, arrayOfString)
    array = Array.new(arrayOfString.size**strength)

    if strength == 0
        array << ""
    else
        a = Variation(strength-1, arrayOfString)
        for i in arrayOfString do
            for j in a do
                array << (i + j)
            end
        end
    end
    return array
end

In this, I keep getting an error message
test.rb:10:in `Variation': can't convert nil into String (TypeError).

A: In Ruby, arrays grow automatically as needed.  So change your array initialization from:
array = Array.new(arrayOfString.size**strength)

to
array = []

To enumerate over each character in a string, instead of
for i in arrayOfString do

do this:
arrayOfString.each_char do |i|

The final result:
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

def Variation (strength, arrayOfString)
  array = []
  if strength == 0
    array << ""
  else
    a = Variation(strength - 1, arrayOfString)
    arrayOfString.each_char do |i|
      for j in a do
        array << (i + j)
      end
    end
  end
  return array
end

p Variation(2, '01')    # => ["00", "01", "10", "11"]

each_char is in Ruby >= 1.8.7, or you can get it from the backports gem.

FUNERALS IN JAPAN: CREMATIONS, HIGH COSTS, BELIEFS ABOUT DEATH AND BUDDHIST CUSTOMS
FUNERALS IN JAPAN
Japanese tombstone There are about 900,000 deaths a year in Japan. In Japan, 99.4 percent of people are cremated, the highest percentage in the world, compared to 30 percent in the United States and 53 percent in China.
According to the Justice Ministry's Civil Affairs Bureau, when a person dies, a relative, landlord or another person concerned is required to submit a death notification form obtained at a municipal office as well as a document, such as death certificate issued by a doctor, to the relevant municipal government within seven days when they become aware of the person's death. Following submission of these documents the death is registered in the family registry.
The death notification form is submitted before a crematorium permit is issued. After the cremation the permit is returned to relatives and then submitted to a cemetery when the ashes of the deceased are interred in a tomb.

Cremations in Japan
Driven by limited space and government nudging, the percentage of Japanese who are cremated has grown steadily, reaching 99 percent in 2009.
Cremation is considered a purification rite before the next life. Some people interviewed by Japanese news media after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 said they faced a life of despair if they didn't find their relatives' bodies. Others fear their loved ones' spirits will haunt them without a proper burial. "Indeed, some people believe ghosts of the dead killed violently that are not cared for can cause problems," Ian Reader, professor of Japanese studies at Britain's University of Manchester, told the Los Angeles Times. "And places like Tohoku, with an aged population and a more 'traditional' orientation than, say, Tokyo, might hold to such views more strongly." [Source: Mark Magnier, Los Angeles Times, March 22, 2011]
Cremation requires 10 or more gallons of kerosene. After the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 kerosene was in short supply, and some local governments started burying the dead, an option some consider unclean. Priest Keizan Ishigamori told the Los Angeles Times, "Being buried or burned isn't about religion. It's more about culture and ceremony. The soul starts its voyage either way."

High Funeral Costs in Japan
The average cost of a funeral in Japan is around $23,000, the highest in the world, three times higher than United States and 10 times higher than in Britain. About $6,400 is paid to a Buddhist temple in funeral fees. About two thirds of this goes towards a posthumous name. Costs are also high for dinners and presents given on the seventh day, 49th day, one year anniversary and two year anniversary after death. Land costs make anything other than cremation prohibitively expensive.
More than 60 percent of the $14,200 spent in a typical Buddhist-style service goes so the funeral company that works out details like the coffin and the hearse. The cost for a temple and priest is around $5,500 and food and drink for the wake and service, $4,000.
Families have traditionally not wanted to have a hand in the funeral arrangements because they regarded it as bad luck. These days more families are taking a more active role in the funerals. Some families have dropped the religious ceremonies and instead focused on art or music and individualizing the events toward the interests of the deceased.
Burden of High Funeral Costs
Kyoto cemetary Funerals are so expensive they sometimes put a large burden on bereaved families, especially those who leave everything to the funeral companies and are given a whopping bill when the whole ordeal is over. In a few cases customers have been so outraged by the high costs they sued the funeral companies for overcharging them.
The high costs of funerals in Japan give a lot of people stress. In recent years there has been a trend for bereaved families to take a harder look at the money side of funerals. Families are advised to get the cost up front and get estimates from several companies and not put their trust totally in the hands of one funeral company. Some companies such as Eopoch Japan Co. have responded to the trend by offering specially priced funeral packages that go for $4,000, $6,000 and $10,000.
One Buddhist monk in the Tokyo area has set up a dial-a-monk service that has 45 monks from seven schools on call that can deliver a variety of services at considerably cheaper prices than those offered by funeral homes or Buddhist and temples. Their service including chanting at wakes for ¥42,000, funeral services for ¥84,000 and posthumous Buddhist naming ranging from ¥31,500 to ¥157,500 and monk visits on seventh day, 49th day, one year anniversary and two years year anniversary after death for ¥130,000.
Buddhist Funerals in Japan
After a Japanese person dies he or she is usually honored with a Buddhist funeral, cremated and buried.
Funerals are held in Buddhist temples or at the Japanese equivalent of a funeral home, a complex with a crematorium and a meeting hall with a traditional wooden edifice where the body is laid in state. Details of the funeral service vary somewhat in accordance with the Buddhist sect that oversees the service. In a typical funeral hall service Buddhist monks chant sutras before a wooden altar adorned with rows of chrysanthemums and other flowers.
Its is ironic that most funeral services are Buddhist because Buddhism in its original form did not place much importance on such matters. The Japanese religious scholar Sachiya Hiro told the Daily Yomiuri, "Today's funerals are actually shaped by Shintoism. Buddhism doesn't have a conventional role in funerals. Buddhist thinking follows that whatever happens after death happens and people after they die should be left alone."
Buddhism did not play a big part in funeral services until the Edo Period (1603-1867) when the shogun forced all people to register as Buddhists as part of an effort to eliminate Christianity to counter an upsurge in religion's popularity. Before the Edo period must funerals were conducted in accordance with Shinto traditions. Under the shogunate, all families were required to register with a Buddhist temple and have that temple take care of rituals for the dead. People that didn't go alone with the scheme were assumed to be Christian. The Buddhist monks put in charge of funerals in many cases had never carried out a funeral ritual before so they simply copied Shinto rituals or used rituals — such as creating posthumous names for the afterlife — performed for their fellow monks.
After World War II the monks were striped of their land holdings and turned to funerals as their primary source of income. That and tourism have helped temples stay alive.

Buddhist Funeral Customs in Japan
After someone dies a notice of mourning is written on white paper inside a black frame. It is placed on the door or gate of the house of the deceased throughout the mourning period.
According the Buddhist customs of "otsuya" (a sort of Buddhist wake) family members stay in the same room with the body of the deceased on the night before the funeral. Often they don't sleep the whole night and party and mourn and light incense sticks for the deceased throughout the night and finish with a meal of meatless dishes and sake. These days many people observe a half-"otsuya" that begins around 6:00pm and ends at 10:00pm.
At Japanese funerals, one is expected to wear black from head to foot with no shiny ornaments such metal buttons or belt buckles and jewelry, with an exception made for pearls. During the funeral the eldest son or some other senior family member wears a white kimono; other male mourners wear black suits, white shirts, and ties; and women mourners wear black dresses. The outfits are often rented and many mourners wear black arm bands.
The casket is a plain pine box covered with beautiful cloth. On top of casket are small vertical tablets with Chinese characters that spell out the name of the deceased and are believed to preserve his or her memory.
Mourners bring "condolence money" in white enveloped tied with silver and white strings. The amount depends on closeness to the deceased. Relatives usually give $200 or more. Acquaintances and friends give between $50 and $100. The money helps pay for the funeral. In custom similar to what takes place a wedding, guests are later given a thank you gift..
Traditional Japanese hearses are designed to look like portable shrines and mechanical floats. Some are decorated with engravings, gold bas-reliefs and images of pagodas, dragons and flowers and often have a roof covered with gold leaf. Over the years these have been replaced by American-style hearses.
Sometimes family members take a purification bath, a custom that Japanese have observed for some time. A Chinese visitor to 8th century Japan wrote: "When funeral ceremonies are over, all members of the family go into the water together to cleanse themselves in a bath of purification."
Buddhist Funeral Service in Japan
Western view of 19th century
Japanese funeral procession When the mourners arrive at the funeral service they bow to each other, saving their deepest bow for the senior family member in the white kimono. They enter a small room, sign a register, leave a name card and envelope with a cash offering and place a stick of lighted incense next to a picture of the deceased. [Source: Cindy Atoji, Washington Post, January 27, 1997]
The photograph of the deceased is draped in black and set on an altar in the front of the room. Around the picture are lanterns, and elegantly carved wooden bowls filled with offerings of fruit intended to feed the deceased on his or her journey to the next world. Above the alter is a scroll with an image of Buddha.
Close family members sit near the altar. Other mourners are further back. During the service mourners sit on tatami mats and listen to sutras recited by Buddhist monks and speeches about the deceased by family members and friends. Incense sticks are burned before the altar by the mourners and the priest recites sutras over the body. The caskets is then placed in the hearse and driven to the crematorium. At the crematorium family members often look on as the body is placed in the ovens and examine the ashes and fragments of bone when it is over.
These days more and more Japanese are eschewing traditional Buddhist funerals and instead are choosing a funerals that fits their personal tastes.
Buddhist Graves in Japan
Later the canister or white box with the ashes is placed in a grave in a place where family members have been buried for generations. Families make regular visits to the graves, particularly during certain holidays. Some people visit family graves in a somber mood and bow and pray. For others it jovial occasions with friends and relatives, treating the deceased as if they were still alive.
The family often spends several thousand dollars to get a Buddhist name of the deceased and have a tablet places with this name inside a Buddhist temple.
Japanese graveyards contain rows of small tower-like tombstones, often jammed between houses and apartment buildings. Offerings left at graves include flowers, incense and sake as well as the favorite foods, drinks and even brand of cigarettes of the deceased. The sake is often poured in a glass and cigarettes are removed from the packs and lit so they can be consumed at that moment.
A grave site in an urban area often costs between $20,000 and $40,000. Traditionally, the oldest son's family inherits the responsibility of taking care of a tomb with wife being responsible for her husband's family tomb. Families with only female children must burden their daughters with the chore of taking care of two tombs.
Alternative Graves in Japan
The shortage of space and the high price of land, funerals and memorial services has lead many Japanese to consider alternatives to traditional burials. More and more people are scattering the ashes of deceased relatives on Mt. Fuji or in the sea, a practice was considered unacceptable until the early 1990s.
Cybergraves, with offerings only a mouse click away, are becoming more common. There is also some discussion about offering rent-tombs, where a deceased person would be allowed to occupy a grave for certain amount of time, after which the ashes would be moved or scattered, and the grave would be occupied by someone else
Natural burial grounds are becoming increasingly popular. They are cemeteries on hill slopes and near forests. Users at one such place at a Buddhist temple outside Tokyo buy a 4.5 square meter plot for the ashes and use a tombstone that measures 18-x-18-centimeters.
Many Japanese want their favorite pet to buried next to them. Several dozens of Japanese have had their ashes blasted into space in "space burials" provided by New-York-based Celestis Inc, which says only Americans have more space burials than the Japanese.
For $1,500 one can get a 30-year membership to the Cyberstone Service by Kudokuin Temple in Tokyo which features video and pictures of a deceased loved one that can be accessed with a cell phone or computer.
In December 2010, a "business hotel for the dead" opened in Tokyo. Used to temporarily house bodies until funerals have been arranged, the three-story facility has 550 square meters of floor space and can hold a maximum of 37 bodies, Bodies are identified with bar codes to avoid mix ups and the rooms are equipped with anti-bacterial lights. The cost of housing the bodies is about $80 a night. The facility was set up in part to give families some time to think over funeral arrangements and not be rushed into making decisions because they have no place to store the body.
Beliefs About Death in Japan, Wives and Body Wholeness
dead monk A survey by the Yomiuri Shimbun asked Japanese what they think will happens to them after they die. Thirty percent said they believed they would be reincarnated, 24 percent said they would go to another world; and 18 percent said they would vanish.
Many Asians believe that the soul and the body are linked together. They are reluctant to allow the corneas, heart and other organs of the deceased to be used in transplant operations because they believe that lost limbs and organs will "defile" the body and not accompany it to the next world.
Women are usually buried with their husbands ancestors rather than their own ancestors. The belief is that when a woman gets married she forsakes her own ancestors and becomes linked with those of her husband.
An increasing number of people are donating their bodies to medical schools after they die. Medical school use to have problems securing enough bodies for students but now there is an oversupply. The increase is believed to be attributed to changing ideas about death. A person in charge of body donations at Chiba University told the Yomiuri Shimbin, "Most applicants are in their 60s or 70s and the decision to donate his or her body is usually based on a wish to do something to help society."
Remembering the Dead in Japan
Buddhist memorial services presided over by monks are held on the seventh day, 49th day, one year anniversary, two year anniversary and seven year anniversary after death. The services are usually held at the home of the deceased or close family member with a monk chanting sutras in front of a flower-covered altar. Afterwards participants share a large meal together.
The 49th day is significant because Japanese believe that the spirit lingers in the body for 49 days before departing. This is in when the soul goes on a 49-day journey through the land of the dead and is judged and assigned where it is h going to go in the six realms of Buddhist cosmology.
A major memorial service with a large meal at a restaurant is held one year after the funeral. A Presents are given to guests. They in turn offer some money to defer the expenses. Then a another gift is given by the host.
Memorial services continue for up to 33 years after the death. These are regarded as necessary to guide the soul to paradise. After 33 years the spirits loses its individual identity and fuses with ancestor spirits. For a flat fee of around $7,500 some Buddhist priests will provide all the services for up to 33 years.
Bon Festival
Some widows leave a cup of tea on altar with a picture of their deceased husband every time they make tea. They often talk to the picture as if they are talking to a real person.

Using nail polish has become so common these days that most people fail to recognize how it affects our bodies, never questioning its ingredients. In fact, even the most health-conscious ones rarely consider its effects.
Recently, a team of researchers tested for signs of toxins in 24 women and found evidence in the bodies of every single one. The source of these toxins was nothing else but nail polish.
It was found that 100 percent of the women participating in the study showed signs of triphenyl phosphate only 10 hours after applying nail polish. In another, follow-up study, the researchers tested 10 nail polishes for for triphenyl phosphate and found the chemical in 8 of them. Two of the brands that tested positively didn't disclose it on their label. In other words, this indicates that up to 20 percent of nail polishes on the market contain detrimental chemicals that are not listed as an ingredient on the product label.
A known carcinogen able to dissolve in air and water. Exposure to formaldehyde produces symptoms of asthma, difficulty breathing and scratchy throat. People with chronic diseases are particularly prone to poisoning from this chemical.
Toluene is known to interfere with development in children. It can be also irritating to the skin.
Certain nail polish brands replace dibutyl phthalate with TPHP, but it isn't better for you. As a matter of fact, it poses the same health risks, including reproductive system toxins and hormonal disruption.
Peacekeeper Cause-Metics: It offers toxin-free nail polishes which are infused with argan oil, keeping the nails moisturized.
SpaRitual: Toxin-free brand and completely vegan!
Acquarella: It offers a selection of more than 50 polish colors. They are water-based and free of toxins likes toluene, formaldehyde, mercury, and dibutyl phthalate.
Honeybee Gardens: This brand offers a line of nail polishes in a wide range of colors. They are all water-based, meaning that you can remove them with the help of a standard rubbing alcohol. Being all-natural, they contain no traces of carcinogens or detrimental chemicals.


Astigmatism is a vision condition that causes blurred vision due to an irregular shape of the cornea (the clear front cover of the eye) or by a curvature of the lens inside the eye. An irregular shaped cornea or lens prevents light from focusing properly on the retina (the light sensitive surface at the back of the eye). This results in blurry vision at any distance.
Astigmatism is a very common vision condition. Most people have some degree of astigmatism. Slight amounts of astigmatism usually do not affect vision and do not require treatment. However, larger amounts cause distorted or blurred vision, eye discomfort, and headaches.
Your eye has two anatomical structures that focus images: the cornea and the lens. In an ideally shaped eye, each of these focusing elements has a perfectly smooth curvature, like the surface of a smooth ball.
A cornea or lens with the proper curvature, bends (or refracts) incoming light in the same way, creating sharply focused images on the your retina. However, if your cornea or lens is not uniform and smoothly curved, light rays focus unevenly and create a refractive error. Astigmatism is a type of refractive error.
In astigmatism, your cornea or lens curves more steeply in one direction or another. When your cornea is misshapen, it is a corneal astigmatism. When your lens is misshapen, it is a lenticular astigmatism. Either type of astigmatism can cause blurred vision and blurred vision can occur in one or more direction, (horizontally, vertically or diagonally).
Nearsightedness (myopia) -- This occurs when your cornea has too much curvature or your eye is longer than normal. Instead of focusing precisely on your retina, light focuses in front of your retina, resulting in a blurry appearance of distant objects.
Farsightedness (hyperopia) -- This occurs when your cornea has too little curvature or your eye is shorter than normal. The effect is the opposite of nearsightedness. When your eye is in a relaxed state, light focuses behind the back of your eye, making nearby objects blurry.
Astigmatism may be present from birth, or it may develop after an eye injury, disease or surgery. Astigmatism is not caused or made worse by reading in poor light, sitting too close to the television or squinting.
Visual Acuity -- This exam determines how well you can see the details of a word or symbol from a specific distance away.
Keratometry -- This diagnostic test measures the curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea, particularly for assessing the extent and axis of astigmatism.
Refraction -- This eye exam measures a person's prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Using the information obtained from these tests, your vision professional can determine if you have astigmatism. These findings, combined with those of other tests performed, will allow the optometrist to determine the power of any lens correction needed to provide clear, comfortable vision and discuss options for treatment.
What Are the Treatment Options for Astigmatism?
If the degree of astigmatism is slight and there are no other problems of refraction (such as nearsightedness or farsightedness), treatment is not necessary. If the degree of astigmatism is great enough to cause eyestrain, headache or distortion of vision, your eye doctor may prescribe corrective lenses for clear and comfortable vision. Lastly, refractive surgery may be an option for correcting some forms of astigmatism.
If you think you may have astigmatism or another type of vision disorder, schedule an appointment with your local Vision Source eye professional today for a comprehensive eye exam and diagnosis.

text:
Ambrosianska lovsången, eller Te Deum, är en av de äldsta och mest välkända hymnerna som används i den västerländska kristenheten vid stora högtider.

Första raden lyder på latin: "Te Deum laudamus, Te Dominum confitemur" (svenska: "Dig, Gud, prisar vi, dig, Herre, bekänner vi"). Inom romersk-katolska kyrkan sjungs den vid en del större gudstjänster och dessutom i tidegärden varje söndag och festdag. I lutherska kyrkor, inklusive Svenska kyrkan, används den vid vissa återkommande tillfällen men oftare i moderniserade former.

Hymnen har under många hundra år även använts vid större evenemang, till exempel nationella segerfester där man ville tacka Gud för en seger i krig. Den var särskilt vanlig vid kröning av kungar och kejsare som i äldre tid ofta var regenter av Guds Nåde. Ett  är kröningen av Karl den store år 800. Ett nutida exempel är firandet av prinsessan Estelles födelse år 2012. Eftersom hymnen varit så välkänd under så lång tid har Te Deum blivit ett begrepp i sig och får ofta beteckna olika former av tacksägelsegudstjänster eller -konserter.

Texten
Texten är av mycket gammalt, men osäkert, ursprung. En legend, troligen från 800-talet, berättar att biskop Ambrosius av Milano på gudomlig ingivelse börjat sjunga denna hymn när han på påskaftonen år 387 döpte Augustinus och Augustinus stämde in och avslutade sången. Efter denna legend benämns hymnen ofta på latin Hymnus Ambrosii et Augustini (Ambrosii och Augustini hymn) och även sjungits som växelsång.

Vissa historieforskare har hävdat att Ambrosius översatt en gammal hymn från den österländska kyrkan till latin. Annan forskning har härlett texten till biskop Niketas av Remesiana (död år 414). Från latin har den senare översatts i ett mycket stort antal till många olika språk. Till svenska anges Laurentius Petri ha översatt texten antingen från latin eller från tyska.

Musiken

Den ursprungliga melodin är ett av de äldsta kända musikaliska verken och är en växelsång satt i frygisk tonart. Melodin har under hundratals år sedan varierats och givits ut i olika sättningar, från soloröst till stora körer. Åtskilliga tonsättare har använt texten Te Deum.. för helt egna tonsättningar, både som enskilda sånger och som del i större verk, däribland Händel, Bruckner, Olsson, Roman och Charpentier vars Te Deum i D-dur används som Eurovisionens signaturmelodi. Särskilt framstående torde Lullys Te Deum vara, dels med tanke på att det föranledde hans något tidiga bortgång (se: Lully) och dels för att dess form och stil utvecklade barockmusiken mot högbarockens stora mässor och operor.
