Most species of giant African land snail reach between 10cm and 20cm in length although some breeds can get as large as 30cm! These snails have dark brown shells with striped markings that can vary from pale yellow to white. Some species can also have reddish markings. The body of the snail tends to be a mottled brown colour. Albino individuals will have a paler coloured shell with a white body.
Giant African land snails can be found south of the Sahara Desert throughout wet, tropical regions of Africa.
These snails will feed on plant matter (both living and dead) from a variety of different plant species with some snail species eating over 500 different types of plant. Their diet includes crops such as cabbage and their tendency to eat these crops means they are often considered pests.
The giant African land snail is considered one of the world's most invasive species. It will eat crops and may endanger native snail species. For this reason, importing this animal is illegal in many countries and in the UK it is illegal to release both adults and their eggs into the wild.
Giant African land snails have now been introduced to many parts of the world including Australia, the Caribbean and parts of Asia.
Giant African land snails can live as long as 10 years in captivity!

Q: Php login system for different users I am new to Php programming and I'm having some troubles understanding it. I need to make a project that will manage students and their grades. I need to have 2 types of users, professors and students. A professor can add grades to students, and a student can only view his grades.
I managed to make a simple login system, using wampserver and phpmyadmin.
Now I don't know how to represent the students and the professors (since the teachers can add grades I assume they are treated like some sort of admins and students are users).Should I put a checkbox on the login page? And after that I should create different pages to each type of user?
Do not get confused by my questions. I don't need any code just some ideas on how to get started. After that if I have any problems I will share my code also.

A: If you are using the same table for all users you can add one more column in your table with name 'is_teacher'. which could be 1 or 0.
In this way you can differentiate if the user is a teacher or student

A: Since you want some kind of admin system, make a row in your database table with an integer in it, In Example: student1 has INT 0, 0 will be student, teacher1 has INT 1, 1 will be teacher.
Then when you log in get this INT and paste it in a session, then let that session decide if the student or teacher page is loaded.
Thats what i would do at least :).

A: This is all quite basic.
Assuming you have saved the users in your database, you simply have to add a column to the table those users are saved in. You could call this column 'flags'. If the user is a student, you could give it the value 1. If the user is a professor however you would give it a value 2.
In your code when you verify the login, i reckon you put their data in a SESSION. So now, with the new column present. Place that value in your SESSION as well.
Now that we can distinguish user and professor, we could simply do:
if ($_SESSION['flags'] == 2) {
    // Something only the professor can do
}

A: add one column type take enum(1,0); 1 for teacher and 0 for studant so that you can send type when adding user which you want and show the functionality as on its type.

Elk Studios Slot Games
Zulu Gold – Online Slot By ELK Studios
ZULU GOLD INFO
Adventure, African
Finally, we have a video slot game that is set in our South African backyard! Our protagonist Kane, while on an expedition in Lesotho, learns of an ancient temple located somewhere in KwaZulu-Natal. This is a temple like no other as animals seemingly come here to sacrifice gold to their gods. Join Kane as he tries to uncover the mysteries that surround this structure.
ELK Studios is a developer that likes to do some research before creating their titles, each game has a page on their website outlining stats for the game in question. At the bottom of each page is a fun fact and the fun fact that they shared with this title is all about Unkulunkulu, one of the most powerful gods in traditional Zulu religion. It might be a safe bet to assume that this is the god the animals are sacrificing their gold to.
Join us as we become a member of Kane's crew that has set out to learn all there is to learn about this temple. Luckily we won't have to travel too far as it's local! We'll document all of our findings and let you know what bonus features to look out for.
A vague image should already be forming as to what this video slot game looks and feels like. Being a game a lot of the elements that have been used for inspiration have been exaggerated somewhat. You can still clearly see the South African and Zulu factors all throughout this game.
The game starts up with us already inside the mysterious temple, we've either been here for a little bit or someone, maybe even something, is maintaining the temple as the fireplaces have already been lit. There is a constant animation on the fire which makes the game feel more immersive. Classic shields with crossed spears decorate the two pillars to the left and to the right of the reels. When the symbols fall away you can catch a glimpse of the gold that is hiding in the back, it looks like the stories were true!
The music is exactly what you would expect from a title with this theme, it fits and it feels right. The sound effects are strong and effective, letting you know when things are happening that need your attention.
The artwork on the lower paying symbols could've been a little better, they were trying to emulate rock paintings which is why it's fairly simplistic but it still would've been nice to see more. With that said however, the rest of the icons in the game are superb. A lot of time and effort went into making the symbols look as real and authentic as possible.
Overall, ELK Studios has done a great job bringing this locally set video slot game to life. There's always an unprecedented feeling of joy when a game or title uses South Africa as its location. If you're South African then we highly recommend you check out this title just because it's locally set.
Starting off we have the low-paying icons. These are represented by four different cave paintings and four different coloured symbols. The paintings illustrate a Crocodile, a Buck, a Snake and a Zebra. The different coloured symbols are Green, Blue, Purple and Red.
Next up are the high-paying icons. These are represented by the animals that have sacrificed their gold and by Kane. The animals that will lead you to the gold are Wildebeest, the Rhino and the Elephant.
A black and brass lion head represents this game's Wild Walker. When it lands it will spin and land on one of eight directions, replacing whatever symbol it lands on with a Wild. Wilds can substitute for any other icon in the game helping you build winning combos easier.
The Rising Sun "Bonus" symbol is this game's Scatter. Land enough of these during a single drop and you'll activate a bonus gameplay feature.
Zulu Gold starts off as a 6 – reel, 3 – row cascading video slot game but as the game progresses more rows can be added. Wins are paid out according to matching symbols in each joining row and the RTP for this game sits at around 95%.
Like most cascading video slot games, this one has an avalanche feature. When drops that result in a win occur, the winning symbols explode and allow new ones to fill their place. When this happens a new row is added to the grid for that drop.
Symbols can appear stacked on the reels, possibly even increasing the rows that are available.
Multipliers have a chance to appear and display on the shields next to the grid. They will multiply any win by the number displayed.
Charged Wilds are Wilds that only disappear when they are used to create a win. Even then they might only use up one of their 'lives' where most charged Wilds have multiple 'lives'.
Super symbols can appear at any time during the game. These symbols have different tiers: Super (2×2), Mega (3×3) and Epic (4×4). If these symbols land after other symbols have, they will break them as the bigger symbol falls to the bottom of the grid.
By landing at least 3 Scatters you will be awarded with 10 bonus drops. Landing more will give you more drops, 4 Scatters will get you 15 drops, 5 will get you 20 and if you're able to land 6 Scatters you will get yourself 25 bonus drops. A progressive multiplier is active during the bonus drops where any other multiplier that lands gets added to the progressive one.
Come and explore your backyard with Kane and ELK Studios!

The Senate is expected to pass a bill Friday that would fund the government for the first 1½ months of the new fiscal year. But Senate Democrats plan to restore money for the Affordable Care Act that House Republicans had stripped out, leaving the two chambers in conflict. While the House and Senate struggled for agreement on a government-funding plan, Mr. Boehner was wrestling with the more daunting task of persuading members of his own party to support an increase in the federal debt ceiling.
Lazard Capital, the closely held brokerage controlled by current and former Lazard employees, including CEO Ken Jacobs said it's still exploring options such as a sale and has no plans to close. "It's business as usual, serving clients," Scott Sunshine, a spokesman for the New York-based broker-dealer, said in a phone interview. "There is no deal announcement imminent, and there are no plans to shut the firm down." Fox Business Net's Charles Gasparino sent a message on Twitter on Thursday saying the firm's executives are looking for jobs as "speculation swirls" that the company is close to reaching a takeover deal or may shut down.
The Washington-based private-equity firm is planning to invest $500 million for a minority stake in Beats Electronics LLC, which makes pricey headphones branded by American rapper Dr. Dre, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mary Jo White, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said she is supporting legislation introduced last year to give the regulator greater power to penalize wrongdoers. Currently, the SEC is limited to fines tied to ill-gotten gains, which can often be less than what investors lost, especially in a Ponzi scheme. Under the proposed, tougher rules, the SEC would be allowed to base its penalty on either the current formula of three-times the ill-gotten gains or the amount of investor losses — whichever is greater.
Takeshi Fujimaki, a former adviser to billionaire George Soros and now a member of Japan's upper house of parliament, said a fiscal crisis in Asia's second-biggest economy is inevitable and neither a higher sales tax nor the 2020 Olympics will be able to stop it.
BATS Global Markets Inc., based in Lenexa, Kan., last month announced an all-stock deal to merge with smaller U.S. rival Direct Edge Holdings LLC, based in Jersey City, N.J. The deal, terms of which weren't disclosed, would topple Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. as the second-largest U.S. exchange operator in terms of trading activity, and last week the volume at BATS and Direct Edge combined to virtually match that of the country's biggest market operator, NYSE Euronext. Adding Direct Edge's two U.S. exchanges to BATS' s own pair would give BATS one-fifth of the U.S. market, a bigger pool of liquidity that officials believe will give the company a leg up in the competition to capture trades and sell pricing data to traders.
The CEO, whose screeching and dancing at company events is the stuff of YouTube legend, stormed the stage to "Can't Hold Us" by Seattle rap/producer duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and kept up his usual high tempo, according to several people present at the employee-only meeting. He departed to the strains of Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," the song played at Microsoft's first employee meeting in 1983, followed by "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" from the finale of "Dirty Dancing," getting a standing ovation from the 13,000 or so Microsoft full-time employees in attendance.
Some marquee bond-fund managers who took a beating in the second quarter were vindicated when bets that the Federal Reserve would be cautious in paring its stimulus program recently paid off. Pacific Investment Management Co.'s $251.1 billion Total Return Fund, the world's largest bond fund—run by the company's co-chief investment officer Bill Gross—has delivered a return of 1.05% in the third quarter through Wednesday, according to Morningstar. DoubleLine Capital LP's $35.4 billion DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund, run by Jeffrey Gundlach, returned 0.655% over the same period. The gains compare with a 0.63% climb in the benchmark Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Meanwhile, Dan Fuss's $21.5 billion Loomis Sayles Bond Fund at Loomis Sayles & Co., has posted a total return of 2.61% this quarter through Wednesday, while Michael Hasenstab's $67.9 billion Templeton Global Bond Fund at Franklin Templeton Investments has handed investors a total return of 1.47%.
The New York Stock Exchange began wooing the microblogging service nearly two years ago, when the exchange operator became an early adopter of the service's promoted-tweets program.
Corporate America took on a record amount of debt in the month of September as corporate Treasurers rushed to take advantage of a dip in rates and a receptive market.
The Federal Reserve confused financial markets over scaling back its bond buying, four top officials said on Thursday, with one arguing the central bank should link tapering to drops in the jobless rate and another calling for a broad remake of strategy. Fed Board Governor Jeremy Stein said he would have been comfortable with acting at the September 17-18 meeting, and the decision to keep buying bonds at an $85 billion monthly pace had been, for him, a "close call". "But whether we start in September or a bit later is not in itself the key issue - the difference in the overall amount of securities we buy will be modest," he told a monetary policy conference in Frankfurt. "What is much more important is doing everything we can to ensure that this difficult transition is implemented in as transparent and predictable a manner as possible. On this front, I think it is safe to say that there may be room for improvement," he said in prepared remarks.
The "Yeezus" rapper launched a Twitter war with Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night, venting over the late-night funnyman poking fun at him for boasting of being the No. 1 rock star on the planet in a BBC interview. "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years," Kanye tweeted in capital letters. "I don't take it as a joke ... You don't have scum bags hopping over fences trying to take pictures of your daughter. Jimmy Kimmel, put yourself in my shoes." The Twitter explosion came a day after a skit on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" featured two bratty kids reenacting his BBC Radio 1 interview. In the real interview, Kanye, 33, said rappers are the new rock stars "and I'm the biggest of them all." He also said he's gotten to a "point that Michael Jackson did not break." Besides insulting Kimmel's looks, Kanye delivered a low blow comparing Kimmel to ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman. "SARAH SILVERMAN IS A THOUSAND TIMES FUNNIER THAN YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT!!!" Kanye tweeted.

Q: how to know if my ip is changed? my computer got stolen like a month ago (i got roved at my apartment) and i could not recover it so i had to buy another.
On this new computer i installed ultravnc but i need a program that emails me if  the ip of this computer has changed. Like for example if this new computer got stolen and it gets connected to the internet i want to have it on my email account the ip address to access with ultravnc
thanks
p.s. sorry for my bad English

A: I've got a way to do exactly what you want.  But it probably won't work because, as MaQleod has said, if your laptop is stolen, most thieves will usually format it first thing.
You should read the advice I have below because it might help you understand computer security a little more and especially the limitations of what you are trying to do.  If you just want an answer, go to the bottom of this.
Most smart thieves will usually disconnect the laptop battery as soon as they can, because they will not be sure what security measures it has.  If they stole the laptop for the data, they will just take the hard-drive and dump the laptop.  If they took the laptop because they want to sell it/use it, then they will remove the hard-drive and discard it.  Or format it.
Even if the thief is silly enough to turn it on without removing or formatting the hard-drive, then your computer won't be able to e-mail the IP address to you unless it is connected to the internet.  If it's not within range of a Wireless network it already knows, then the thief will have to know your password, log in, and connect to their wireless network.  The only other way the  script will is if the thief turns the computer on and attaches it to a wired network.  This is not likely!
I think you need to understand how thieves operate and be realistic with your expectations for securing your computer.  You have to ask yourself a few questions:

*

*Do you want to protect your data on the computer?  Is this the most valuable thing?  If your disk is not encrypted, then your passwords won't help.  The thief can take out the hard disk and put it into an external drive bay and then read all the information.  If this is your worry, look at "full disk encryption" - there is a great program out there called TrueCrypt which is free.  It can be very complicated to use, so test it out on a computer you can mess up first!

*Do you want to protect the computer itself?  Maybe it's a $5,000 super-gaming laptop?  Maybe this is why the thief stole it?  If this is the case, then what you are trying to do is very hard.  Because when the laptop is stolen, they will not turn it on.  Maybe they will even remove the battery!  What you can do is use GPS tracking chip.  This is not easy and can be very expensive.  But maybe you have a big budget, so you can look at things like www.exo5.com or www.securatrak.com.au.  These are companies which will charge you lots of money and usually only deal with big businesses, so they might not even help you.
If you want to make a home-made GPS tracker and fit it in your laptop, then there are a few options.  First you need a GPS transmitter.  You can use a pet-tracking GPS collar or a motorcycle GPS tracker.  These usually have ongoing subscription fees in addition to the up-front cost.  The biggest difficulty you will have is fitting it in the computer.  If you have a second hard-disk bay, or an optical drive bay, you might be able to fit it in there.  You will need some electronics experience here.  You can disassemble the tracker and remove the battery (which will be the largest part) and use your laptops battery instead.  If the battery and GPS transmitter use the same voltage, you are in luck!  If they don't, then you can use a DC-to-DC converter which will add space.
Considering your question, I doubt you have the electronics skills necessary to do what I suggested above on your own (although, if I am wrong, I apologise!).
So, realistically, what cheap, easy and reliable options do you have left?  None.  Portable device tracking is a problem every big business faces.  For most devices a company will use full-disk encryption.  They will usually only go to the expense of using GPS trackers for veeeery expensive devices.
So, with my security lesson over, time for the method I promised.
You mentioned you installed UltraVNC.  You will not be able to connect to UltraVNC on your computer if the thief attaches the device to his network unless he configures his router to forward VNC traffic to the laptop.  Which won't happen.
You can use TeamViewer instead of UltraVNC.  TeamViewer will actually initiate the connection to the TeamViewer servers when it starts and wait for you to connect.  The way that TeamViewer works means that the router does not need to be specially configured.  Also, as it can install as a system service, it means TeamViewer will start even if nobody is logged into the computer.  Of course, it will still have to be connected to the internet first.  Again, this is not very likely.
So, if your computer isn't formatted, it is turned on, and it is connected to the internet, then you are in luck!  You can find the public IP address of the thief through TeamViewer.
Check out Get IP Address from TeamViewer without connecting which will allow you to check the IP address without connecting and alerting the thief.
Good luck!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day holiday! I hope your day is full of fun picnic and family plans...and because I'm sure many of you are busy, I'll make today's "Journal It" post short and sweet.
Today's I want you to focus on: Dictionary Words.
Yep, it is time to drag out the old Webster's for some help in the journaling department. Journaling is all about the words, and what better place to look for inspiration than in a book full of words.
You might be surprised at how looking through a dictionary can inspire your journaling.
1. Use a dictionary word as your title and journal around it's meaning. Maybe it is a definition of an event or a word that describes a loved one's personality.
2. Use an actual dictionary entry on your page. You can see in my example below what that looks like.
I thought that one definition summed up the whole photograph of the beautiful women in my life. I didn't feel like it needed any more journaling than that one definition. However, you could go on to describe how the people in that photo are beautiful and what they mean to you. Or describe the event surrounding the photo. See where just a simple dictionary definition can take you?
I hope this dictionary idea has been a help and if you are ever inspired by any of the journal it series, be sure to share a link to your layout in the comments section, so you can inspire others!


Andrew Alexander likes cycling; he really does: "As a baby, I think I crawled, rode, then walked," he jokes via email. "Since then I've always been heavily into cycling. I was obsessed with the Tour de France, and following the European races." He also raced for his college team, and competed in U.K. and mainland Europe races.
So, when Alexander went looking for a franchise, Velofix, as an idea, had wheels on it. It's the largest mobile bike-shop franchise in North America, with over 50 mobile-van shops on the road which sell, fix and rent bikes. Given that focus on mobility, Velofix, according to its publicity people, is "seriously disrupting the $6 billion bicycle business in the United States."
What's more the sector is growing, as any examination of big city bike lanes and bike-sharing programs, reflects. While most quality bikes are still made abroad, the repair business, stateside, is booming. Elby, with its chargeable commuter bike, is a promising startup. Then there's Canyon; a European, direct-to-consumer startup; SpeedX bikes, focus of a $2.5 million Indiegogo campaign; and "spinning"-class bikes at fitness studios like Peloton. Velofix is making deals with all of them.
"I wasn't necessarily looking for a franchise -- more the business that would work for me and align with my passions and strengths," Alexander says. With a background in managing and growing engineering consultantcy businesses, he says, he's spent a lot of time developing solutions for customers. So Velofix felt like a great fit. "While it's a franchised business, the delivery of the service is extremely flexible," Alexander says. "I have always enjoyed working with customers, understanding their requirements and developing tailored solutions that meet their needs."
Along with residential customers, he says, he's also found a market in the corporate sector -- companies like Microsoft, Google and Swedish Medical. "We're able to work with them to put programs in place that align with their health and wellness initiatives or support and encourage alternative means of commuting," Alexander says.
"This aspect has been hugely rewarding and people haven't necessarily had this level of service in the bike industry before."
After making a modest investment of $62,500, Alexander -- "as a self-certified control freak" -- managed the business end set-up and accounting tasks himself, "which has been an investment of time rather than additional cost, but clearly may not be for everyone."
He adds that he spent most of his planning effort obtaining legal advice on his franchise agreement and building various cost models, validating his business model and "talking to many cyclists and gauging the market."
Part of that discussion centers on educating customers about the mobile model for buying a bike, he says, adding, "I wouldn't say there have been any surprises, just a lot of work." He praises his franchisor, Velofix, both its brand and infrastructure, and describes the effort needed to find just the right people for his team: fellow bike aficionados, obviously.
"You have to love what you're doing," Alexander emphasizes, when asked his advice for potential franchisees. "It had to be more than just an investment decision. For me, that's working with bikes, meeting the people that ride them and encouraging others to ride, too. Secondly you have to do your homework and understand your market. Third, and most importantly, I think it's about the people and relationships.
"Granted, I think a franchise business can operate successfully on a very transactional level, but a common thread through all the franchisees I've met with Velofix has been the quality of the people and the abundant energy and passion, and sharing the same motivations."
In terms of growth, "I feel that we've hardly scratched the service," Alexander says. He says he's keen to maintain a healthy balance of corporate and residential work and ensure the capacity to let customers book online without a long wait. "We're seeing more people buying bikes online. But opting to have a mechanic bring it to their door, professionally built: I'm excited to see that grow, too."

Q: Creating an outline with JS / CSS that wraps a text Say you have an image with float:left; and a text that flows around the image.
The code is pretty simple:

Lorem ipsum...

Is there a way to display an outline, that wraps around the text but not around the image. A normal outline on the text gives you this:

But I want this:

using a display:inline; on the
 displays an outline on each line, not 'blockwise' oun the text's visible boundaries.
CSS3 is legit, any hardcore CSS/JS is permitted...

A: You can try something like this. Shift the image up and to the left so that it obscures the regular border. Then give it it's own border to complete the illusion.

Lorem ipsum...

article {
 border: 1px blue dotted;

 border-right: 1px blue dotted;

It's time to give you the 411 on information blocking.
(for anyone born after 1985: 411 was a number you dialed in order to get information about a business or person whose contact details you didn't have. And it still works! Try it some time).
At the beginning of February 2019, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released their long-awaited rules regarding patient access to their own health records, and they're an absolute doozy. I was at HIMSS 2019 when this rule came out, and I watched CMS Administrator Seema Verma declare in no uncertain terms that patient health data belongs to the patient.
You could see, as you looked around the space, the range of reactions this declaration elicited, even if it shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone who had been paying attention to CMS's moves in recent years. There was simultaneously a wave of applause mixed with sidelong, worried glances from healthcare professionals who, while they certainly appreciate what CMS is going for, were necessarily concerned about their capabilities to meet the stringent requirements laid forth by the too-close-for-comfort date of 2020.
To call for patient data to belong to the patient sounds good in principle, but the truth is most healthcare organizations are still a long way from being able to approach this benchmark. The will is certainly there, but our own conversations with hospitals point to widespread trepidation. Institutions are still struggling with interoperability, consumer-friendly patient portals and the transmission of data between internal parties and outside providers. That's why throwing this rule on top of all that is enough to give some of the smartest minds in health IT intense anxiety.
Nevertheless, this is where we're headed as an industry, and it's certainly worth a closer look. I want to explain a little bit about what this rule actually entails, the challenges that remain in getting there and how healthcare organizations can prepare themselves to enter this brave new world.
The proposed rule can be found in its entirety at this link. I want to call out a couple things directly from that page.
At its heart, the rule strives to empower patients by giving them access to all their health data so that, when they experience a care encounter, their providers will be able to tap into the full array of health data surrounding the patient. In an ideal world, imagine a person having their entire record on their phone and, with the tap of a button (think Airdrop on iPhones), all of these details can be shared securely with the provider. At the conclusion of the care episode, their health record is updated accordingly and the patient's information remains in that state until the next care episode, when the situation will repeat itself.
The creation of "open data sharing technologies" that will allow more successful patient handoffs.
Reporting providers and insurers engaged in the practice of blocking patient health information.
The adoption of APIs, or application programming interfaces, which essentially allow disparate platforms and technologies to communicate with one another in a secure fashion.
Those are the main takeaways, and it's a lot to contend with. On the one side, you have hospital systems and other kinds of providers who will need to bring their systems up to date in order to comply. There's no word yet on what kinds of penalties may be instituted for those that aren't yet at that level, but providers are waiting with bated breath to see what the penalties might entail. Then, on the other side, you have insurers, who may not be thrilled at the prospect of just giving away the data they've collected about their clients over the course of years but who nevertheless will need to change their business model if it relied upon limiting and/or selling access to these details.
Review Your Current Policies – Get together with your IT teams, administrators, C-suite executives, managers and anyone else who has a stake in the processes affected by these rules. The time is now to review all your policies and procedures in order to determine if you're engaged in any form of information blocking or if a given policy could be construed as such. If so, you'll want to take steps to remedy this at once.
Keep Up to Date with FHIR – The FHIR standards are an absolute must for healthcare organizations and the creators of health apps to work toward. Apps simply should not be built without HL7's Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources taken to heart.
Toward the beginning of this year, FHIR 4 was released, and its big focus was the piecemeal distribution of points of data and the promise of backwards compatibility. But the fifth iteration of these standards is around the corner as well, with health IT companies already given a tantalizing preview of what's to come.
Even if you're not developing apps yourself, if you're in any way connected with health IT at your organization, be it a hospital, a clinic or anywhere else, it's important to stay up to date with these standards so you can ask the right questions when it comes time to choose vendors and resources.
Beyond EHR – Simply having an EHR isn't enough anymore. The modern healthcare institution that wants to stay on the good side of CMS has to provide dedicated patient portals with readily exportable PHI the patient can access at any time.
Clearly, this is where things get tricky, as doing this is no small task. You must work across departments to identify EHR vendors who have these capabilities now or will be able to do so in the future. That requires APIs and myriad software tools that adhere to FHIR standards. You then have to train staff to adapt to the changing times. And you need to communicate these changes to patients, who, for all their tech sensibilities, aren't necessarily taught to expect this level of openness from their healthcare providers.
CMS's recent proposal is perhaps their boldest declaration yet about where they foresee healthcare going in the future. It's up to providers to get on this wavelength and start asking hard questions about the best way to implement the technologies that get us to the destination.
And all the while, remember that a new proposal could come out a couple months from now that turns everything on its head. It's simultaneously exciting and a little bit frightening, but it comes with the territory of forward-thinking health IT applications.

Phase 2 construction is well underway and continuing to progress with the help of Giusti Group Limited Partnership. Giusti provides an array of products and services related to the concrete construction industry. With over 40 years of service in the industry they have gained vast experience, knowledge, practices and techniques that are second to none and are only gained through dedication and commitment to being the best.
1) Giusti recently celebrated 40 years in business, tell me about how Giusti started as a company and how you've gotten to where you are today?
My father immigrated to Canada at 17 years of age. He came over sponsored as a journeyman welder and quickly went from welding to building single-family homes. Then from single-family homes to multi-family homes. At one point we had over 120 framers working for us to do the form-work for the parkade to then frame the buildings above. We really established a niche in that single to double level parkade structure with 4-6 story wood frame structures. As the company grew we started to take on more and more concrete type scopes. Our biggest project being Husky Sunrise which was over 25,000 cubic meters of concrete where we employed up to 1000 people at one point. Our operations now are throughout Western Canada – both British Columbia and Alberta. In Alberta from Fort MacMurray to Edmonton to Calgary and surrounding areas. In BC from one point of the island to the other and as far as Kamloops, Kelowna, Penticton and all over the interior as well.
2)	We have really enjoyed working with Giusti thus far on Phase 2 of our development. In the construction industry, what separates Giusti from its competition?
We are very much an engaged ownership group where most of our foremen have worked alongside the owners. Our team leaders have been with us over 10 years so they understand what the expectation is – a commitment to deliver a safe and quality product every time. The other advantage is that we are fortunate to have a family/father who is continually invested in the company and is always investing in technology that is out there, whether it was for scaffolding or wall forms. We are very fortunate to be well funded and very well supported in the materials that we work with.
3)	I think it's great Giusti is a family company and is quite similar to Pacific Landing in that sense. What does that mean to you and how does is it translate or reflect through your company's culture?
You want to be surrounded by people who embody the same qualities and beliefs: providing quality work, doing things right the first time, and understanding you owe it to the client to do your best job every time. That client has a lot of choices out there so we are appreciative that they choose us.
4)	Pacific Landing is designed around creating a new waterfront community. Giusti volunteers its time and sits in on multiple committees and associations. Why is it so important for Giusti to be involved in the local community?
Alberta has been very good to our family. We saw several years of continuous growth which really helped changed the course of our destiny for a lifetime so it's important to support those charities that require the funding of local companies to allow them to continue. We are always happy to give back!
5)	What are you most proud of in terms of how Giusti operates as a business?
I'm very proud to know that wherever it is that we are working within Western Canada, more often than not the superintendents who have been working in the industry for 10, 20 or 30 years, once they work with our group of companies it's a positive experience for them. They see how well organized we are and they see the Giusti difference.
Phase 2 construction of The Douglas is well underway at Pacific Landing. We are now up to the third floor of framing and are scheduled to begin framing the fourth floor in the coming weeks. Register with us today to discover how you can own of these beautifully crafted Phase 2 suites.


Shingle Roofing Repair - Castile Roofing: Roofing Done Right!
Shingle Roofing is made through different roofing materials; each offer advantages and circumstances.
Fiberglass Shingles: A fiberglass asphalt shingle makes use of glass sheet as a base. That base is sealed and coated with asphalt from top to bottom. This creates a waterproof finished shingle. Ceramic granules are also added to the shingle.
Organic Asphalt Shingles: Organic shingles are made of waste paper. These shingles are coated with asphalt. Finally, they finish with an adhesive asphalt coating. These types of shingles, like fiberglass shingles, may also have ceramic granules added, are waterproof and very durable.
In general both are excellent roofing choices for shingle roofing. Fiberglass shingles are stronger than organic ones but not as durable as their counterpart. They also tend to react poorly to colder climates (not a worry in the Valley of the Sun). By comparison, organic shingles are heavier. They also lack the fire resistance that fiberglass tiles possess due to the materials used in their creation.

A Family And Lifestyle Blog With A Tropical Seychelles Twist!
My big fat pregnant Saturday night!
If you missed last weeks update, check out my 26 week update!
He will have started opening and closing his eyes and will be starting to wake and sleep at regular times!
This week my parents have gone so it's back to reality.
It's been a kinda quiet week really, however I am finding it harder and harder to keep up with Arthur. I mean that literally, that boy is lightning fast and my speed is definitely decreasing by the day!!
However, my energy levels have still been pretty good which is nice, it means I've still been getting my online fitness classes in! By the way if you missed my post with answers to pregnancy fitness questions I asked Dr Joanna Helcké, check it out!
I have really been noticing the heat this week and how much it zaps those good energy levels!! Luckily today it's raining and so feels nice and cool compared to a usual day here in Seychelles.
Sleep has still been reasonably broken although I think overall it's been pretty good this week.
Kicks have been getting REALLY strong, some have actually hurt!! They are getting really high up too! Also getting those alien type movements where he's obviously turning or rolling around and my whole tummy moves! It's those kind of movements where you are reminded that there really is a baby in there!!
I feel like this stage has come round very quickly! All of a sudden I'm at the end of the second trimester…how has this happened!!?
No midwife appointments this week but I did take a trip to the dentist for a check up. No problems which was good! My next midwife appointment will be next week.
Think that's all for this week! I'll be back next week!
This week our little guy is the size of a large mango, mmmm yummy!!
He's weighing over half a kilo now and is around 29cm long!
An exciting development this week is that his hearing is getting better and can hear more and more of the world!
This week with Arthur being poorly I've hardly had a minute to think about being pregnant!!
Luckily, little kicks are there to remind me!
I'm struggling with sleep this week. I'm sure some this will be down to be worried about Arthur but Mark has reliably informed me it was about this time last time that sleep went down hill…..feels like a long way to go with rubbish sleep but I guess it's preparing me for when little man arrives!!!!!
I've been getting dizzy spells the last couple of days. I don't remember having this before and it's definitely not something I'm prone to outside of pregnancy. I hope it's not a symptom that sticks around it's really not nice!
It could of course be down to it being SO hot here at the moment. I mean really hot, and humid….. Not nice for a big pregnant mama!!! You may have seen me moaning about that on twitter this week!
A couple of weeks ago I said that I thought the pregnancy cravings were over. My Balsamic vinegar is still in full swing. This week I made a paste out of white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to clean a stain on the sink (a Pinterest suggestion) and it took all my willpower not to eat it!! I think it was just the smell of vinegar was so strong!….. The stain didn't remove either by the way, very annoying!
I also had to refrain from drinking balsamic straight out the bottle!!
I have started my Online pregnancy fitness and I'm really enjoying it! I'll have a post up this week with some more info about it!
I'll be back next week with my 24 week update.
Making the most of Arthur!


LAFAYETTE, La. – A Duson woman allegedly kidnapped by the father of her child has been found alive but the man suspected of taking her is dead.
Authorities had been searching for Scott Thomas, 29, of Leonville, since Wednesday when he arrived at a daycare center and confronted Bethany Arceneaux, 29.
Thomas allegedly forced Arceneaux into his vehicle and drove away. Her 2-year-old child was left inside her car at the daycare.
Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman Kip Judice confirmed Friday that Thomas was dead. Judice told The Advertiser. Thomas succumbed to injuries sustained during a confrontation with Arceneaux's relatives.
Judice said friends and family were searching for Arceneaux Friday and entered a vacant house where they believed they heard someone screaming. Thomas, who was armed with a knife, allegedly began to injure Arceneaux and one of Arceneaux's family members shot Thomas to stop him.
"Family members were acting in defense of Bethany Arceneaux," Judice said.
An investigation into what happened is ongoing, authorities said.
Family members say Arceneaux is in stable condition at Lafayette General Medical Center and is talking to investigators. According to family, Arceneaux had been repeatedly stabbed.
Two of Arceneaux's brothers, Ryan Arceneaux and Kaylyn Alfred, said they were among the family members who went inside the house.
"We went and got her in that house. We kicked doors down. It was like a movie unfolding ... if we wouldn't have done what we did, she would have been dead," Ryan Arceneaux aid.
Bethany Arceneaux filed a complaint with police on June 15, saying Thomas locked her in a house and threatened to kill both her and her son. A protective order against Thomas was issued June 17, court records show. Thomas was arrested Aug. 8 for violating the order. He also was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated flight from an officer.
Arceneaux's relatives told The Advertiser that Arceneaux was a down-to-earth mother who is always willing to help others.
"She's a very good person," said Dawnetta Roy, the victim's cousin.


Buying a house from foreclosure listings can be a great way to buy a home or investment property at a huge discount! So, why don't more people benefit from this untapped market of houses? Largely this is due to lack of understanding about the procedure or fear from untrue stories they may have heard about buying a foreclosure. Foreclosuresearch.ca is a excellent resource to learn about the foreclosure market and how best to negotiate a deal that suits your unique needs. Click on the banner below to learn how to get a trial offer of Upper Musquodoboit foreclosure listings.
How can I find bank owned homes in Upper Musquodoboit?
This saves me a bunch of time and effort. I don't have to search the internet for many hours looking at different Realtors websites combing through houses in Upper Musquodoboit that are certainly not foreclosures or don't fit what I am looking for.
Other options for finding foreclosed houses is to speak to your local bank to see if they are holding properties in their portfolio or to contact a local Realtor that concentrates in foreclosure listings. Many Realtors will list whatever property they can get their hands on but they may not be well versed in the foreclosure purchasing process so you need to be informed before going in.
How to buy a bank owned house in Upper Musquodoboit with bad credit.
Let me begin by saying that purchasing a foreclosed house in Upper Musquodoboit with bad credit is feasible!
First, you have the choice to buy a house for cash at a real estate auction. Your credit doesn't play a factor at all because you are not taking out a loan. Not everyone has this kind of money lying around though so lets think about other options.
Search for properties in Upper Musquodoboit and search for loans with low down payments. Save up money for your down payment but expect to pay a somewhat higher interest rate due to your lower credit score. You should be able to remortgage in a couple of years after making on time payments to get a lower rate.
How to buy a foreclosed condo in Upper Musquodoboit, NS.
Next, find condos in Upper Musquodoboit, NS that you are interested in. Find a Realtor that is skilled in foreclosures and will be able to help you through the method of buying.
How long does it take to buy a foreclosure in Upper Musquodoboit?
This relies on how you are buying the residence. Properties that are purchased in cash at an auction are turned over within a week or two maximum depending upon how much time it takes your funds to move to the bank and the title to be completed. Actually, I have had properties transfer to me within three days.
repo houses are usually sold "as is," indicating the bank is not willing to make any repairs before selling the property. This means that any repairs could fall back upon the new owner to correct. Sometimes the repairs are minor and other times they are serious.
Often a foreclosed property in Upper Musquodoboit NS has sat vacant for a while so maintenance has been ignored and will need to be looked after immediately.
Sometimes, just because the title has transferred to a new owner doesn't mean that all concerns have gone away. This is the significance of having a title search done before buying a property due to the fact that liens or lawsuits could be attached to the property and you could inherit them without realizing it.
Keep in mind that working with banks is a mechanical process and usually taken care of by computers and not real people. This can be frustrating for you the buyer but it is what it is. At some point if you are persistent the bank will probably cave if they have no other offers because they realize they need to transfer the property quickly.
Are Upper Musquodoboit repo homes good or bad?
This depends upon your goals and the risk level that you are ready to accept. If you want to take on the prospective repairs yourself and not count on the bank to pay for them then this is a great deal!
There are lots of things you might not know about the power of sale. When do you understand you are faced with a power of sale or foreclosure in Upper Musquodoboit, and how do you understand if it is the ideal financial investment for you? Provided listed below are answers to seven frequently asked questions relating to the power of sale, and how it can help you make informed purchases in Nova Scotia.
This is a term that few everyday individuals have actually heard of. If you are interested in investing in genuine estate, specifically those on the foreclosure market, then you want to be familiar with this term. A power of sale is a stipulation that is composed into a home mortgage which allows the lending institution to sell the home in the event of default to repay the home loan debt. It technically is the clause that allows foreclosure on a home when a debt is not paid. This type of sale takes place so that the loan provider, which is generally a bank, can recuperate losses that they sustained by the loan default.
A power of sale likewise describes the power expressed or implied in a trust contract allowing the trustee to offer the investment comprising the trust.
Basically, this provision in a mortgage or trust enables the lending institution to sell the residential or commercial property without going to court to do so. It is a type of shortcut to allow recovery simpler and much faster. For those looking to buy foreclosed house, this is a lot easier as the loan provider does not need to go through the courts to make the sale happen.
If you are aiming to buy a power of sale foreclosure house, there are some benefits. This includes an expedited process. Usually a foreclosure through the courts can take a great deal of time; whereas those that go through a contract clause can be much quicker.
It is actually much easier than you think to find power of sale houses. In Nova Scotia, as in all of Canada, the usual process is to sell the residential or commercial property by power of sale, which is unlike the majority of the United States which has the tendency to go through the courts for a foreclosure. Normally, when a house is being sold through power of sale, it in fact goes through a realtor. That makes it simple to find homes under power of sale. A realtor, or other realty websites, will likely have listings of power of sale houses in your location.
How do you buy a distress sale acreages in Nova Scotia?
It is a terrific choice to purchase power for sale foreclosures in Upper Musquodoboit Nova Scotia. The procedure is quite quick and simple. The process for the sale is usually set out in the home loan, so they might differ a bit differently for properties depending on the lending institution.
In Nova Scotia, there are two types of power for sale – legal and statutory. A legal power of sale is when the home mortgage documents have included the power of sale clause. A statutory power of sale is when the power of sale stipulations is not included, but these are very rare.
The property can be offered by auction, private agreement, or by tender. The residential or commercial property is generally noted with a real estate agent and put on the marketplace for sale using multiple listing service (MLS).
The ownership of the property will alter hands just if the home is offered. This is also not a fire sale, although it is quicker than a court procedure. The deals from the buyers like you are carefully taken a look at, and the present owner may request an accounting.
Among the best methods to discover a power for sale listing in Upper Musquodoboit is to use an exceptional MLS. These services are readily available on line and supply an excessive amount of listings so that you can discover the precise house you are searching for. A site, such as foreclosuresearch.ca, can supply you with all the listings in Nova Scotia under power of sale. Websites like this one enable you to browse in your area for power of sale residential or commercial property, together with the timing and costs included.
Generally, power of sale houses is cheaper than going through a person simply offering their house. This is because the bank only wants to not lose on the deal. They wish to make the money back that they have actually lost from the default. In Canada, any extra money from the sale is given back to the house owner, but if there is a shortage, the owner is responsible for the distinction.

In the growing world of social media marketing, profile pictures are becoming more and more important. They attach a both a face and a personality to your qualifications.
In this article, I'll show you how to create a clean, professional look from one of the most widespread photographic forms of the modern era: the selfie The Selfie Habits Across Different Generations The Selfie Habits Across Different Generations We live in a world where taking pictures ourselves is the norm, but which generation takes the most selfies? Read More .
What Is a Portrait Photograph?
Our aim is to turn your selfie into a photographic self-portrait. Portrait photography focuses on the character of a subject's face. Good portrait photography can create a lasting impression on the viewer. On the other hand, bad portrait photography can make a face easily forgettable.
Let's take these two photographs taken of American actor Kevin Spacey as an example.
On the left is a Twitter profile picture. This is a typical example of a profile picture you would find on sites like LinkedIn as well. On the right is a picture taken by legendary portrait photographer Marco Grob. There is a clear difference in impression between these two images. Not only is the right-hand image of higher quality than the left, it was edited to give off a more dramatic, professional feel.
We will use various, basic Photoshop tools to commit an effect similar to the photo on the right.
As wondrous as Photoshop is, there are a few things you should keep in mind before snapping your photo. This will ensure that your picture requires as little editing as possible.
Empty/Solid Background — Ensure that your background is a solid color or an empty landscape. You can even use software to remove the background 5 Easy Ways to Remove Backgrounds From Images Without Specialized Software 5 Easy Ways to Remove Backgrounds From Images Without Specialized Software If you want to remove a background from an image, you don't exactly need Adobe Photoshop. Here are five alternative ways to do it! Read More if necessary. This will give the picture a more official and less cluttered profile picture. Furthermore, you want to show this picture was purposefully shot. If you don't have a proper backdrop, head to your local general store and buy a white poster board. Tack that on to a wall with tape, and take your selfie.
Set Your Resolution To Max — Ensure that you are saving and editing your photo at max resolution. This is easily identifiable through your camera's settings. All too often, LinkedIn accounts will forego this simple camera function. As LinkedIn continues to support higher resolution images, older images will appear shoddy and of lower quality.
Dress Code — This is a profile picture, not an interview. That said, commit on either side of the fence when it comes to dress code. Qualifications will speak more to your employer than dress formality. Do not, however, assume a dress shirt with an unbuttoned collar will fool them. Either put on a tie and blazer, or maintain your shirt and jeans combo. Most importantly, be you in the photograph.
Framing Your Shot — Place your face near the center of the shot. A central shot will maintain most aspect ratios best. Some websites crop out edges of your profile picture for thumbnails.
Stretch your hand out as far as possible, preferably using only one hand. Don't worry about the orientation of the camera, as your image will be cropped.
Lighting — Lighting is one of the most difficult, and most tedious, aspects of photography. For our purposes, the easiest method of ensuring proper lighting in photographs is using direct, natural sunlight. It's as easy as opening a window.
All of the tools used in this walk-through are simple and fundamental. To change any of the parameters suggested below, double-click on the layers indicated under your smart object.
First, crop your image into a square. Doing this will ensure that your image maintains the proper aspect ratio Graphic Display Resolutions - What Do The Numbers Mean? [MakeUseOf Explains] Graphic Display Resolutions - What Do The Numbers Mean? [MakeUseOf Explains] Display resolutions can be a rather cryptic business, with multiple standards used to describe the same display resolution in 10 different ways. All of those technical terms tend to change based on the display's purpose... Read More , both as a thumbnail and as a viewed image. Although it isn't the most cinematic look, the 1:1 (square) aspect ratio does its job well.
Select your Rectangular Marque Tool (keyboard command M) and click on the drop down menu beside Style. Select Fixed Ratio and enter both width and height as 1.
Orient your face in the middle of your image, but allow for space around your face as well to create a fuller picture.
Black & White Overlay — Now that you have your image, it's time to edit it to create a more dynamic effect. First, right click your image layer and select Duplicate Layer. This will ensure that you have your original image to compare your edited one. Next, right-click the duplicate image and select Convert to Smart Object. This will allow you to edit your image's tweaks after you've enabled them.
Proceed to create a duplicate of your duplicate layer, and set it topmost. Select this top layer and head to Image > Adjustments > Black & White. A window will open listing an assortment of colors. Do not adjust the parameters; just click okay. Then, set your layer type to Overlay. Next, set your Opacity to 65%. Now, adjust the Black & White parameters by double-clicking the adjustment layer.
Attempt to create a nice contrast between light and dark colors. This will create an instant bump in the perceived image quality of your picture.
Unsharpen Mask — Next, select your first duplicate layer (with the Normal layer type) and head to Filter > Sharpen > Unsharpen Mask. This will create a subtle, pseudo-HDR effect that further separates the noticeable difference between our colors. The effect ranges from hardly noticeable to overtly definite, so feel free to play around with the parameters.
Black & White (Optional) — With the original duplicate layer still selected, proceed with the Black & White adjustment again. Adjust the colors as necessary. This is optional, as some believe the black and white look gives off a more professional appeal. Then, open your Levels settings with the keyboard command Ctrl/Cmd + L. Adjust the white and gray levels as you see fit, being careful to only modify them slightly.
Color Fill — Now, we want to add a subtle blue hue. This serves two purposes: it offsets the natural, orange hue normally associated with regular indoor lighting, and provides a subtle hint of professionalism. Websites like Facebook and LinkedIn use color UIs to give off a professional feel. To add a hint of color to your photo, click on the black and white circle on the bottom of your layers window and select Solid Color. Drag this layer to top of your Layer panel, and change the layer type to Color.
Double-click the color square in your new color layer and choose a dark blue color. To enter in the color above, enter the value 111e33 beside the # sign in your Color Picker window. Finally, set the opacity of this layer to 25%. This is the final tweak to your new, professional looking profile picture.
Don't go saving your file just yet. For the best results online, save your picture as a PNG-24 file. There are several reasons for this, the most important of which is PNG-24 supports millions of colors and will not lose quality when viewed as a thumbnail.
Head to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy). In the drop down menu beside Preset, select PNG-24. It's as easy as that: save your picture How To Save High-Quality Images in Photoshop, Explained How To Save High-Quality Images in Photoshop, Explained How difficult can saving an image be? Turns out, it's not so intuitive. Photoshop allows for a slew of file formats and parameters, each with their own benefits. Read More and exit.
The best thing of these tweaks is they apply to a large range of skin colors and shades, providing great looking pictures across the board. Below is an example using the stock photo of the man seen above.
Here is another example using a woman in a more typical selfie pose, with a similar skin tone.

Le classement par points du Tour d'Espagne, créé en 1945, est l'un des classements annexes de la course à étapes le Tour d'Espagne. Il s'agit d'un classement déterminé en fonction du classement des coureurs à l'arrivée, sans prendre en compte les temps.

Histoire
Le classement par points est introduit en 1945, 10 après la création de l'épreuve. Avant 2002, il était connu comme le classement de la régularité. Le record de victoires dans ce classement revient à Sean Kelly ainsi qu'au Français Laurent Jalabert et à l'Espagnol Alejandro Valverde avec quatre succès.

Au fil des éditions, le maillot distinctif du classement par points a souvent évolué en fonction des changements successifs de sponsors.

Barème

Contrairement au Tour de France ou au Tour d'Italie, le barème du classement par points du Tour d'Espagne a la particularité d'être le même quelle que soit l'étape. Les vainqueurs d'étape plate, vallonnée, montagneuse ou chronométrée sont ainsi récompensés de la même manière.

Cela a permis a des coureurs aux profils très différents de remporter ce classement, que ce soit des coureurs complets (tel Laurent Jalabert, quadruple vainqueur de 1994 à 1997) ou des purs sprinters (tel Erik Zabel, triple vainqueur de 2002 à 2004).

Paul Rudd's personality works great here in his interpretation of the ant sized superhero. There's a great villain and the story is both exciting and a science field trip through the atom and back. In short, it works!
In 2015, humor was lacking in some Marvel films. Ant-Man stands out that way. Written by Baby Driver's creator Edgar Wright It's a different perspective for sure on what is cool and humorous. One of the best things about this film is it keeps us wondering what the world looks like from another point of view. In this case, it's quite the small one, smaller in fact than an ant. There's a love interest and a villain, a few other token aspects of a superhero film. But all that is pale in comparison to this, well, small feature of the film.
The suit is the property of an inventor who can no longer use it. (Michael Douglas) The inventor's daughter, played by Evangeline Lily, is working with her father to get Paul Rudd to use the suit and further the dream of an Ant Man.
There's a lot being said here about how big we think we are. Maybe if we see ourselves as so big, we can be foiled by an ant sized creature. It gets you thinking about the power of small things. For a lot of fun, big and small, check this one out. I recommend it to superhero fans.
I loved this movie! Paul Rudd was a great choice to play Scott Lang and Michael Pena's scenes had me cracking up. For a comic book fan like myself, it actually managed to fit in a lot of Ant-Man history and lore as well. However, I was a little let down by the villain. He could have been a dark mirror to Lang but he didn't get the development to really make that happen. Although this has been a common complaint for Marvel films, this was the first time that it really bothered me. Great review, Damien!
Thanks Drew. Yeah, I would agree he is not the best villain he could have been. Love Ant Man! :) Not everyone does.


Looks great!! Can you tell me which is your workflow for the textures?
I basically textured in Mari, exported the usual maps Diffuse, Bump, Spec, but for the windows and the bottles I used a weight map for the roughness in the material.
This is my first time posting work. I really like the images people are posting.
I started the challenge a bit late but here is my first pass at it. A few things that I would like to address next are making the bottles more distressed, work on the texture for the window frame and wall, and changing light direction so that the shadows from the bottles read better.
I like the overall colors of the scene. A few bottles near the window (especially the ones with strong caustic pattern in their bases) appear to be "hovering". Just my thoughts on this.
Also, can you please share how you achieved the cracked glass effect?
Hi Assymetry, I have created textures for the crack and some attributes of the shader, you can get the shader and textures that I created here.
I am not also satisfied to the caustics in the bases of the bottle, still doing some editing.
WIP 2. Starting to get some texturing. Needs tons of work but Im getting closer. Ganna get some spider webs and dirt going. Also will probably get some dust in the air as well.
BTW great entry so far I really love this challenge !
Hey people. long time no see!
This is really a nice setup so I did some rendering. Congrats to all and keep going.
@zbugja Hell yes I love it. What renderer are you using?
Decided to go a different route then everyone and make the bottle more of a metalish type material(save some render time, computer is rather old)… After about 3 hours of work this is where i'm at. Next step for me is to dirty up the metal bottles… Mental Ray, feedback always welcome.
[left]Hi, ok here's my final image for this challenge. I really enjoyed doing this one, glass is always a tricky shader to get nice. Mostly textured in Mari & rendered in the new Corona 1.0 release. The cobwebs were done using JokerMartini's max script… which is awesome! The lighting setup was very simple, just a HDR and sun light. It could have probably done with some dusty volumetrics but I leave it for now. Looking forward to the next ones! Thanks.
Ok so this is my final, i tried to make up a murder scene , it has some mistakes , won't able to re-render (my computer is slow) took 6 hrs , also its early morning so i am feeling sleepy , awesome challenge! ,learnt a lot.
I need your feedback to improve my skills , Thanx!
Lighting and Color test post. No Textures. Purely Grey. Unfortunately did not have enough time to enter challenge. Want to post something nevertheless.
Thank you for sharing the technique for the shader.
Here is my final submission, rendered with corona and post in after effects.
Hires can be viewed here.
Here is my latest render with just a few more details in some of the bottles.
Here is my rendering…done in Houdini with Mantra. Some dirt and grunge will be added.
