Ken Kremer: A full scale mock-up of the Orion Launch Abort System (LAS) is hitting the road for a cross country trek of several museums and science centers. The public can see the LAS spacecraft hardware up close and personal and learn about the Orion crew vehicle and abort system. I visited the LAS in Philadelphia, PA where it was on display at the Franklin Institute Science Museum during the weekend of October 16 and 17, 2010.
It is a rather startling and rare sight to behold the 45 foot long rocket assembly mock up sitting pretty on a long flatbed tractor trailer outside the steps of the architecturally grand museum in the midst of the bustle of a major American city with cars driving by. The spacecraft hardware was far too large to bring inside the museum.
The impressive rocket display and information panels were popular with kids and adults passing by. The outdoor display was accompanied by an exhibition booth inside the museum atrium which was manned by engineers from Orion prime contractor Lockheed Martin and subcontractor ATK to explain Orion spacecraft operations.
Orion is NASA's next generation manned spacecraft and is designed to eventually replace the Space Shuttle. The shuttle will be retired sometime in 2011. The first Orion orbital test flight - dubbed OFT-1 - is set for 2013.
The LAS is designed to immediately pull the Orion crew module away from the launch vehicle during an emergency on the pad or during the climb to orbit and saves astronauts lives.
Known as the LAS pathfinder, the mock up is traveling the roadways from the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. At KSC, it will undergo future pathfinding operations for investigation with the Orion crew exploration vehicle to prepare for the OFT-1 flight.
Between New Mexico and Florida, the LAS is making several public stops. The next stop is in Hampton, Va on October 23 for the 2010 EarthFest at Sandy Bottom Nature Park near the NASA Langley Research Center. Stops on the tour so far include the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver; Orion High School, Orion, Ill; Adler Planetarium, Chicago and Great Lakes Science Center, Cleveland.
"This LAS pathfinder was used by ground crews to practice lifting and stacking operations at the launch pad to help prepare for handling the actual flight hardware used in the flawless Pad Abort 1 (PA-1) test flight," Heather McKay told me. McKay is a propulsion engineer for Lockheed Martin in Denver. "The LAS is the highest thrust and fastest acceleration abort system ever tested. This is the only abort system of its kind in the world and its state of the art. It is equipped with three types of solid rocket motors. The innovative abort system will significantly improve astronaut safety for future human space flight."
The PA-1 test took place on May 6, 2010 at the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range near Las Cruces, N.M. During the test, the system fired the abort motor thrusting the crew module mock-up off the pad, reaching a speed of about 445 mph in three seconds.
NASA Langley has led the development of the LAS in partnership with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

Review: Nine Months by Miranda Paul
June 11, 2019 May 31, 2019 | Tasha
Nine Months: Before a Baby Is Born by Miranda Paul, illustrated by Jason Chin (9780823441617)
A mother, father and their daughter come home from a wintry walk with their dog. They curl up together in bed to read a book about having a new baby. On the opposite page, the growth of the baby begins, starting with one cell that divides getting bigger with each turn of the page. Their busy days take them to the doctor for an ultrasound, assembling the crib, and lots of quality time just spent with one another. As the seasons change, so does the size of the mother's tummy. Growing to match, the images of the baby in the womb get larger and become actual size. Crowded onto the page, the baby finally arrives and enters the light and wonder of their new family.
I haven't seen another picture book like this, where the illustrations have a friendly story that can be shared, but also show the details of what is happening inside a mother's womb as the baby develops. The text has a lovely rhythm and rhyme that is hopeful and filled with joy. The final pages add to the information with more details on babies, answers to questions about them, about how animals and humans are different in gestation, and also questions about what if something else happens.
The illustration by Chin are simply lovely. He fills both of the pages on each spread with light, so readers can really take a close look at the developing fetus. The other side offers slanting sun as the days pass by in expectation of the new little one. Throughout the illustrations, there is a sense of wonder and anticipation that will be shared by children soon to be new siblings.
A great book for children who are expecting a new baby in their family, this book is a lovely mix of science and love. Appropriate for ages 2-4.

Review: When Aidan Became a Brother by Kyle Lukoff
May 15, 2019 April 29, 2019 | Tasha
When Aidan Became a Brother by Kyle Lukoff, illustrated by Kaylani Juanita (9781620148372)
At birth, everyone thought Aidan was a girl. But as Aidan grew up, he didn't like his name, the way his room was decorated, or wearing girl clothes. Aidan cut his hair off, realizing that he was a boy. He told his parents, and they learned from other families what having a transgender child is all about. Aidan picked his new name, they changed his bedroom into one that felt right, and he liked his new clothes. Then Aidan's mother got pregnant. Aidan loved helping pick clothes for the baby, paint colors for the nursery, and even the baby's name. But when people asked Aidan if he wanted a little brother or little sister, Aidan didn't know how to answer. As the big day approached, Aidan worried about being a good big brother. Happily, his mother was there to explain that no matter who the new baby turned out to be, they would be so lucky to have Aidan as a brother.
Lukoff has created an #ownvoices picture book that truly celebrates a child who deeply understands their gender identity to be different from the one they were assigned at birth. The reaction of the supportive parents is beautiful to see in a picture book format as they work with Aidan not only to be able to express himself fully but also to be able to work through natural fears with a new baby. Those fears and the inevitable discussions of gender of a baby are vital parts of the story and allow readers to realize how deeply ingrained gender is in so many parts of our lives.
The illustrations by Juanita are full of energy and show a child with a flair for fashion who expresses himself clearly as a boy. His facial expressions change from his deep unhappiness when he is being treated as a girl to delight at being able to express himself as the boy he truly is. The depiction of a loving family of color handling these intersectionality issues so lovingly is also great to see.
As the parent of a transgender person, this is exactly the sort of picture book our families need and other families must read. Appropriate for ages 4-7.

A Pile of Leaves by Jason Fulford and Tamara Shopsin (9780714877204)
Just right for fall reading either one-on-one or with a small group, this board book offers a unique experience. With only a preface containing words, the book opens to reveal see-through pages that form a leaf pile. Readers turn the pages, removing one layer of leaves at a time and discovering interesting things hiding in the leaves. There is a worm, ants, a mitten, a key, a grasshopper and more. Beautifully, the leaves continue to pile on the pages to the left, creating a new pile to explore. Clever and a delight to explore, this board book is like breathing crisp fall air in book form.

You and Me by Rebecca Kai Dotlich, illustrated by Susan Reagan (9781568463216)
This exceptional board book tells the story of an older sibling with a very adorable new baby in the house. Sharing time with Grandma isn't easy, but the older sibling is patient. The baby has lots of cute things that they can do, but so does the older sibling. In the end, the baby finally goes down for a nap and it's time for the older child to be paid a lot of attention. The poem in this board book is gentle with rhymes that sway. The illustrations are truly amazing, filled with eyes alight with joy and both siblings wonderfully androgynous as well. These are images of a loving African-American family that celebrate being an older sibling.
Home in the Rain by Bob Graham
July 20, 2017 July 11, 2017 | Tasha
Home in the Rain by Bob Graham (9780763692698, Amazon)
Francie and her mother are headed home from Grandma's house. It rains and rains. It rains enough that a big truck washes their car into a picnic area. Nearby, the rain hits rabbits, mice and a hawk. It rains on fishermen and ducks. Francie and her mother wait in the car, the windows steaming up. Francie writes their names on the windows. She asks her mother what her new baby sister's name will be when she arrives, but her mother doesn't know yet. They eat a picnic in the car together and then they pull back onto the road and continue home. When they stop to get gas, Francie's mother decides on her little sister's name and the sun returns to light their way home.
Graham has written a lovely picture book that is more complicated than it seems. It is the story of a little red car heading home. It's the story of a family about to get one person bigger. It is the story of names and inspiration. It's the story of rain and water and weather. Graham ties all of these elements together into one precious rain-soaked bundle that really works. It is bursting with the love of family on every page.
Graham's illustrations are done in his signature style. The characters are people of color and their car becomes a haven and a busy room filled with small details. The book then pulls away to the countryside and their small car seen from above. The rain sweeps the pages and the animals appear. The play of close comfort in the car with wide scenery captures the wildness of the storm and strengthens the intimacy of the family.
A special book that looks at those delicate moments before the birth of a new baby, this picture book celebrates family and storms. Appropriate for ages 3-5.
The Bossier Baby by Marla Frazee

The Bossier Baby by Marla Frazee (InfoSoup)
Caldecott Honor winner, Frazee has returned with a sequel to Boss Baby. Unfortunately for Boss Baby, things in his corporation have started to change. His staff isn't treating him the same way and suddenly there is a new CEO! She first restructures the organization, and then does the seemingly impossible: she's even bossier than her big brother. She manages to get better perks than he ever got too. Boss Baby has had enough and starts to display outrageous behavior and then he just gave up. But luckily, his new CEO knows exactly how to handle a crisis like this.
All of the wonderful mix of babyhood and the corporate mix of the first book returns in the second. It's a winning combination where corporate take over feels exactly the same as a new baby in the house. While the first book had a lot of parental perspective, this second one is all about the older siblings and his feelings of displacement. Told with plenty of humor, the book is hilarious and oh so true.
Frazee's illustrations are exceptional, of course. They have a wonderful mix of page designs from montages of images to full double-page spreads. Each has a specific perspective that heightens the emotional feel of the story as well. Just look at the long shadow thrown by the new CEO, or the disruptive behavior which is sure to get children giggling.
A delight of a sequel, this book is ideal for children who have been the Big Boss in their family but are now dealing with their own takeover. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

Eat, Sleep, Poop by Alexandra Penfold

Eat, Sleep, Poop by Alexandra Penfold, illustrated by Jane Massey (InfoSoup)
This funny picture book about the life of a baby is just right for toddlers and slightly older siblings of new babies. The life of a baby is not easy at all. There's a lot to fit into the day: eating, sleeping and pooping. If a day gets too hectic though, baby can always cut back on sleep to compensate, much to the chagrin of his parents. Then the routine can go back to normal, filled with eating, sleeping, pooping and plenty of love.
Penfold uses plenty of puns and word play in this picture book that will invite laughter and nods from families dealing with a new baby. The text here is very simple, just enough to keep the humor of the situation at the forefront and allow new siblings to understand that this is what all babies do, all day long. There is a strong focus too on love and support and by the end of the book, the tiny baby has grown into a toddler themselves though their routine hasn't changed much yet.
Massey's illustrations underscore the importance of a loving family as the backdrop to the infant's story. She also includes a dog in the family, one who is displaced by the baby and has to learn to cope with the new focus on the baby. The illustrations are bright and friendly with a doting extended family who all participate in baby care.
A warm and funny look at new infants, this book will be welcomed by families who have their own eating, sleeping, pooping machine. Appropriate for ages 1-3.

Review: Double Trouble for Anna Hibiscus
October 27, 2015 October 6, 2015 | Tasha
Double Trouble for Anna Hibiscus by Atinuke and Lauren Tobia
I've been a big fan of Anna Hibiscus since the first titles were released. Those books were chapter books and it's great to see the transition to picture books about Anna continue. In this book, Anna wakes up one morning to discover that her mother has given birth to two baby brothers. Her cousins inform her that baby boys are trouble and Anna Hibiscus quickly sees that that is true. When she wants to snuggle with her mother, she is sleeping. Her grandmother too is sleeping after being up all night helping with the birth. Her uncle is too busy making food for her mother to get Anna her regular breakfast. Her aunts are busy rocking the babies. Finally, it is too much for Anna Hibiscus to take and she starts to yell and cry. After all that fuss though, Anna Hibiscus quickly realizes that while things may take longer now, her family is still right there beside her.
The story deals directly with the mixed emotions that come from having new siblings, from the surprise of their arrival to the lack of attention for the older sibling. These classic emotions are shown clearly here, despite Anna Hibiscus having such a large family around her. Readers will notice that she has lots of support, though she is not noticing it at all. The emotions build quickly and steadily to a breaking point and the resolution of Anna Hibiscus' outburst is filled with understanding and kindness.
The art work is lovely, clear and clean. The beauty of African life is shown on the page as is the loveliness of the mixed races of Anna Hibiscus' family. As always, the warmth of the lifestyle that Anna Hibiscus grows up in is radiantly shown in the images.
Another winning Anna Hibiscus book, perfect for new older siblings who may have double or single troubles of their own. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

Review: Ninja Baby by David Zeltser
October 22, 2015 October 23, 2015 | Tasha
Ninja Baby by David Zeltser, illustrated by Diane Goode
Released November 3, 2015
Right when she was born, Nina was a ninja baby. The doctor slapped her bottom to make sure she was breathing and Nina knocked him over with a ninja kick. Nina was immediately independent, working on her ninja skills even when taking a bath or having her diaper changed. But then everything changes when her parents bring home a new baby, a Kung Fu Master. He approaches everything differently, steadily taking over her parents' attention and time, pulling them all under his power, and doing it all with a cute gurgle. There's a lot a ninja can learn from a kung fu master and a lot a kung fu master can learn about stealth and attacks. Soon the children are working together to build their skills, so their parents had better watch out!
Zeltser embraces his ninja-themed picture book and doesn't slow down. The ninja theme carries through the entire book, with baby Nina escaping her crib and doing sneak attacks. The humor of the book is dynamic and clever, offering a bright mix of ninja references and normal childhood experiences. But make no mistake, Nina is a true ninja, just as her little brother is a true kung fu master. It is this additional element that makes the book really work. Nina is stealthy and fast while her little brother takes on a completely different type of martial arts energy. The combination is pure delight, especially as they begin to learn from one another.
The illustrations by Goode are wry and cheery. They have a loose line about them that makes them very friendly. The images tell the complete story, making sure that readers know that Nina really is a little ninja and that she is truly gifted at stealth. The blissful new brother is also wonderfully depicted as a contrast to Nina.
A unique take on a new sibling book, this one will sneak up and steal your heart. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

Review: The New Small Person by Lauren Child

The New Small Person by Lauren Child
The creator of Charlie and Lola returns with a new picture book sibling pair. Elmore Green has always been an only child. He has his own room, no one moves his toys around, and no one eats his jelly beans. But suddenly a new baby enters the picture and soon Elmore finds himself sharing a room, unable to leave any of his toys unattended, and no one pays him attention. Perhaps worst of all, his jelly bean collection is licked by his little brother! Just as all seems to be falling apart, Elmore discovers that there are some parts of having a new sibling that aren't so bad after all like laughing at TV shows together, sharing toys, and even sharing jelly beans (maybe).
Child has a wonderful way of understanding what children are thinking. While other new sibling books have more focus on the loss of parental attention, Child shows exactly how a small sibling can bother an older one. She merrily skips quickly past the baby stage and directly to toddlerhood where the most disruption can take place. Young readers will enjoy a book that has plenty of humor but also is realistic too.
Child's art is done in her signature style. Her collage work incorporates pieces of cloth and patterned paper. I appreciate that her new family are people of color and also that it is not a focus of the book but just a visual component, natural and not remarked upon.
Perfect for Charlie & Lola fans and also for older siblings experiencing their own toddlers at home. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

Tom Young Curly Koa Bowl 2" x 4.75"
Tom's bowls are typically about 1/8 inch thick. The larger the diameter of the bowl, the thicker the walls. The bowls are sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper, and finished with multiple coats of a Danish type oil. The pieces are then polished using Tripoli and White Diamond, and then finally coated with carnauba wax and buffed.
Acacia koa is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The highest populations are on Hawaiʻi, Maui and Oʻahu. Its name in the Hawaiian language, koa, also means brave, bold, fearless, or warrior.
Reforestation efforts are ongoing on the Big Island and on Maui, to recover the species from the devastation caused by clearcutting for ranching and more recently, invasive forest ungulates.

Here is a guide to help you understand what you need to get the best showering experience for all your needs.
Quadrant showers are designed to be fitted into a corner with a curved shower tray making them ideal for smaller bathrooms. With a curved radius facing into the room, they can give a modern or tradition look to your bathroom while saving you valuable space. Quadrant showers can be installed with hinged doors, but to save even more crucial space in a smaller bathroom sliding doors can be installed ensuring that there is no room taken up in your bathroom by a door swinging out.
Resembling Quadrant showers, Offset Quadrant are also based to fit into the corner of your bathroom; Offset Quadrant showers unlike Quadrant have one longer straight side in the corner of the room allowing for a more greater showering space.
Walk in showers are the perfect option for a stylish doorless solution, which allows for a free flowing feel into room. Walk in showers and generally constructed of one or several pieces of fixed glass, with the option of having a frame, or being semi or entirely frameless. Walk in showers generally have a rectangular tray, but can also come with quadrant and offset quadrant trays.
With the minimalistic design cleaning and maintenance are done at ease.
Similar to walk in showers, wet rooms allow for a modern doorless solution; unlike walk in showers where a shower tray is used a wet room's floor is designed to slope towards the shower drain, requiring waterproofing of the floor and room.
Wet rooms are an attractive showering solution that fits into almost any bathroom as with no predefined shape it can be designed to fit your bathroom perfectly. The design also allows you to create a larger open space. Wet rooms can be used to fit into a bathroom, or in fact can be used for a dedicated shower room.
Although wet rooms allow for the most modern, free flowing design, they are the most difficult to install. This is due to installation requiring waterproofing of the room, and creating a floor with a steady gradient down into the drain.
Hinged doors are a swing door design that offers pure simplicity that can fit into any bathroom design. The hinges fasten to glass door, which can be frameless, semi-frameless or framed.
Pivot doors allow for an easy smooth swinging motion as part of the door swings on the axis into the shower, and the other larger side swinging into the room. Often the most cost effective solution to shower doors, but an easy door solution to rooms with limited space.
Bi-fold doors fold in the middle, using a hinge, into the shower allowing for an easy opening solution that takes up minimal space. Bi-fold doors can be either framed or semi-frameless.
Sliding doors are the ultimate shower solution for doors. Sliding into the shower they take up the least room, and give the most modern feel to your shower enclosure. For smaller shower enclosures though this solution may not always be possible with the door needing a large enough room to slide open.


Another week, another mesmerizing track from Rezz.
"Diluted Brains", is everything we love about Rezz. It kicks off with a slow, ominous build-up, packed with eerie Rezz-esque sounds. After a little over a minute, inviting the listener to venture into the hauntingly alluring world within her song, she cuts off the drums.
The listener is now trapped in Rezz's world.
She builds up the song again, but without the drums, it's even more trance-inducing. After another minute or so of keeping the user drawn into her hypnotic, sinister soundscape, she begins her abduction.
The bass drops and the alien queen unleashes her full force. If you've seen her live, this is the part where it feels like she's stealing your soul. The moment where it feels like she's looking right at you under those mind-boggling goggles. Surges of intense bass fluidly flow with already established elements of the song, leaving the listener spellbound, creating a sensational combination of horror and awe.
The song is the second entry in Rezz's upcoming debut LP, "Mass Manipulation", set to release on August 4th on deadmau5' esteemed mau5trap record label.
With the first two songs out, the theme of "mass manipulation" is beginning to build. Both tracks have strange, dark atmospheres, sucking the listener into the sounds. It's shaping up to be a great album, one that does not need flashy features or trending sounds to stand out, just pure unadulterated self-expression. She's doing something different, something from her soul, something strange. And, it's working.
Her unique flavour may not be for everybody, but she is carving out a distinct space in electronic music where she doesn't need a universal following. Rezz's style is original and exciting enough to not only garner the attention of critics and promoters, but also to establish a devout, genuinely passionate following - I'm looking at you Cult of Rezz.
Also, in case you didn't know, Rezz is going on her biggest tour yet. The Mass Manipulation tour begins September 2 at New York's Electric Zoo Festival, before spreading to numerous cities, countries, and continents across the globe, concluding in Australia, early January 2018.

Although Justice Carmel McLure has been individually recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list, she sees it as an award for a team effort.
Justice McLure has been appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent service to the law and judiciary, to legal administration and professional development and to the community through contributions to tertiary education and arts organisations.
A Queen's Counsel since 1997, Justice McLure has been a judge since 2001, a member of the Court of Appeal, Supreme Court, since 2005 and president of the court since 2009.
Her service to professional organisations takes in work on the professional standards committee of the Legal Practice Board, the Law Reform Commission, WA Bar Association and Women Lawyers of WA.
And to top it off there is her community service over many years, including with the board of the WA Academy of Performing Arts, Edith Cowan University Council, as president of the Friends of the Art Gallery of WA and chairwoman of the Access to Justice Working Committee for People with Disabilities.
"I am very grateful for the award of this high honour," Justice McLure said.
"I have been fortunate in the opportunities I have been given to contribute to the law in Western Australia.
"Foremost among them has been the opportunity to participate, with my colleagues, in the important work of the Court of Appeal from its establishment in 2005.
"The Court of Appeal has always been conscious of its obligation to advance the public interest in the administration of justice and has worked tirelessly in pursuit of high standards in the quality and timeliness of its work.
"It has been a privilege to have been part of that team effort."

"As a Manager, How Do You Interact With Your Employees?" — J. B. Wood
Video / Produced by The High Calling
Sometimes, particularly as Christians, we think we have to compromise between relationships and productivity. The idea out there is that you can either be a nice boss or an effective boss...but is that really the case?
Leadership is about more than being a productive worker; it's about being able to foster a productive, creative, and sustainable community of workers who can come together for a common purpose. The best way to do that is to make all the members of the team feel that their work matters, and that their voice is heard. That's more than just good business practice. It's a high calling.
Want to hear more? You can find this and dozens of other videos over at the High Calling YouTube Channel.
Transcript: As leaders, it's very easy to forget that our team and the people reporting to us and working for us are just that . . . they're people. And people—I don't care who you are—deep down they want to be acknowledged, they want to be appreciated. It's so often a case that as leaders you just want to get something done. You want to get the job done, and you want your people to be productive. We will promote people who have done a really, really good job. Then, you have to step back and ask, "But how are they with managing? How are they with people?" Because at the end of the day as leaders we shouldn't be doing things . . . we should be inspiring and developing people to help them be better, if we can in the process show them that they're appreciated, that they're acknowledged, that we're listening, and we care about them. I think it goes a huge way towards helping those people to be more productive. So you get a better end result than kind of the dictator just checking off tasks and bullying people around.

Psychology leader develops app for headaches
Article by: Karen Keast | Published: 13-08-2014

A team of Australian researchers are developing a unique app that could assist in the treatment of headaches.
Australian psychology expert Professor Paul Martin, an international authority on the treatment of headache pain, is leading the research into the use of the app, which acts as an electronic diary to record ratings of headache pain.
The app is being developed with Wexpert Technologies as part of Griffith University's ENHANCE research project, and with further development it's hoped it could be released publicly for smart devices and all types of computers.
Professor Martin, a past president of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and an Honorary Fellow, has developed the Learning to Cope with Triggers (LCT) approach to headaches which when coupled with cognitive behavioural therapy is designed to assist headache sufferers combat a range of triggers such as stress, noise and food.
Professor Martin, from Griffith Health Institute's Behaviour Basis of Health program, said participants involved in a study trialing the use of the app state that it's user-friendly and convenient.
"Information recorded via the app can be directly downloaded into data files, saving time and eliminating transcription errors," Professor Martin said.
"The technology will enable the team to know when the ratings of head pain are made, rather than relying on the self reports of the participants.
"This app will benefit the ENHANCE project but will also be a very useful tool for other headache researchers around the world."
Professor Martin trained at the University of Oxford before migrating to Australia and taking up appointments at Monash University, University of Western Australia, University of New England and RMIT University, and has research interests focusing on the mechanisms, triggers and co-morbidity of headaches and migraines.
He was president of the 27th International Congress of Applied Psychology and is also a Fellow of the British Psychological Society.

Q: credit card numbers need to be added without the dash So one of the conditions for the credit card number to be valid is that "the sum of first 4 digits must be 1 less than the sum of the last 4 digits" I believe the problem could be it's counting the dashes as a digit but not sure. the rule 4 is that the sum of all digits must be divisible by 4, which seems to work, but rule 5 doesn't.
int sum = ccNumber.chars().filter(Character::isDigit).map(Character::getNumericValue).sum();

        if(sum%4!=0){
            valid = false;
            errorCode = 4;
            return;
        }

// set values and for loop for fifth rule.

  String digits = ccNumber.replaceAll("[ˆ0-9]","");
        int firstfourdigits = 0;
        int lastfourdigits = 0;

        for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
            firstfourdigits = firstfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(ccNumber.charAt(i));
        for (int i=0, m = ccNumber.length()-1; i<4; i++, m--)
            lastfourdigits = lastfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(ccNumber.charAt(m));

// mutator for fifth rule

        if(lastfourdigits!= firstfourdigits -1){
            valid = false;
            errorCode = 5;
            return;
        }

sorry I'm lost and new to coding.

A: Edit since you altered your question. Original anwser to the original question is at the bottom part
Checking if first part and last part have a difference of one
The code you currently have is close, but there are some mistakes here and there.

*

*Filtering out only digits: The code you use to filter out all characters that are not numeric should work, but in your following code you are no longer using this filtered value in your loop.
firstfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(ccNumber.charAt(i));

This should use the variable with only your numeric values => digits
firstfourdigits = firstfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i));

*Difference in first group vs last group: The -1 should be replaced by +1 here. When you are experiencing problems with this type of checks, it's always adviced to try and calculate it on a piece of paper. Lets assume the sum of the first 4 digits is 8 and the sum of the last 4 digits is 9. As per the requirement, this is a valid number, and should result to false in your check if(lastfourdigits!= firstfourdigits -1)
Let's fill it in: 9 != 8-1 => 9 != 7 so this returns false, and marks it as invalid. If we base it on the requirement, you could write the sum of the first 4 digits should be one less then the last 4 digits as: firstfourdigits = lastfourdigits - 1. This is mathmatically the same as lastfourdigits = firstfourdigits + 1. However, in our check we want to know if this check is not correct, so we should change the statement to: if(lastfourdigits != firstfourdigits + 1)
These 2 changes should give you the results you asked for. Combining these changes, we come to the following code example
    String digits = ccNumber.replaceAll("[ˆ0-9]", "");
    int firstfourdigits = 0;
    int lastfourdigits = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
        firstfourdigits = firstfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i));

    for (int i = 0, m = ccNumber.length() - 1; i < 4; i++, m--)
        lastfourdigits = lastfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(m));

    if(lastfourdigits!= firstfourdigits + 1){
        valid = false;
        errorCode = 5;
        return;
    }

Other recommendations
The above example should work for what you asked, and is based on your code. However there are some optimalisations possible to the code to make everything more readable

*

*Use brackets on your for loop: To make it clearer what is inside the for loop, and what isn't, I would advise you to make use of curly brackets. Though they are not required, they will make it very clear what is and isn't in the for loop and will prevent hard to spot issues when you add something extra in the for loop

*Use the short notation for addition: Instead of writing firstfourdigits = firstfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i));, You could use a shorter notation of +=. This will take the value on the left side of your equals, and will calculate the sum of that value on the right side. firstfourdigits += Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i));
The code looks like this then:
    String digits = ccNumber.replaceAll("[ˆ0-9]", "");
    int firstfourdigits = 0;
    int lastfourdigits = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
        firstfourdigits += Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i));
    }

    for (int i = 0, m = ccNumber.length() - 1; i < 4; i++, m--) {
        lastfourdigits += Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(m));
    }

    if(lastfourdigits!= firstfourdigits + 1){
        valid = false;
        errorCode = 5;
        return;
    }

Anwser to original question to calculate the sum of all digits
You could make use of Character.isDigit(char). To simplify the for loop, you can even make use of a stream to get the sum
    int sum = ccNumber.chars().filter(Character::isDigit).map(Character::getNumericValue).sum();

    if (sum % 4 != 0) {
        valid = false;
        errorCode = 4;
        return;
    }

*

*.chars(): This will create a stream of all the characters in the provided string so that we can loop over them one by one

*.filter(Character::isDigit): This will filter out every character that is not a digit

*.map(Character::getNumericValue): This will map the stream from Characters to their numeric values so that we can use those further

*sum() will calculate the sum of the numeric values that we currently have in the Stream

A: The difference is always a positive value e.g. the difference between 4 and 5 or between 5 and 4 is the same i.e. 1. In other words, you need to compare the absolute value of the subtraction with 1.
Therefore, replace
if(lastfourdigits!= firstfourdigits -1)

with
if(Math.abs(lastfourdigits - firstfourdigits) != 1)

Another mistake in your code is that you have used ccNumber, instead of digits in your loops.
Some recommendations to make your code easier to understand:

*

*Replace for (int i=0, m = digits.length()-1; i<4; i++, m--) with for (int m = digits.length() - 1; m >= digits.length() - 4; m--). Note that I've already replaced ccNumber, with digits in these statements.

*Replace ccNumber.replaceAll("[^0-9]","") with ccNumber.replaceAll("\\D", "").

*Replace firstfourdigits = firstfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i)) with firstfourdigits += Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i)). Note that I've already replaced ccNumber, with digits in these statements.

*Always enclose the body of if and loop statements within { } even if there is just one statement inside the body.

Demo:
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(isValidOnDiffCriteria("1234-5678-9101-1213"));
        System.out.println(isValidOnDiffCriteria("1234-5678-9101-1235"));
        System.out.println(isValidOnDiffCriteria("1235-5678-9101-1234"));
    }

    static boolean isValidOnDiffCriteria(String ccNumber) {
        String digits = ccNumber.replaceAll("\\D", "");
        int firstfourdigits = 0;
        int lastfourdigits = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            firstfourdigits += Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(i));
        }

        for (int m = digits.length() - 1; m >= digits.length() - 4; m--) {
            lastfourdigits += Character.getNumericValue(digits.charAt(m));
        }

        if (Math.abs(lastfourdigits - firstfourdigits) != 1) {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Output:
false
true
true

A: Well, your program is not that bad and as far as I can tell there is only one problem and that is the you simply reversed the required test on the first and last groups.  I would advise you to ensure the valid is initialized to true as the default.  Then if none of the error codes are set, it will return true.
Presently you have the following:
if (lastfourdigits != firstfourdigits - 1) {
            valid = false;
            errorCode = 5;
}

But what you need is this
if (lastfourdigits != firstfourdigits + 1) {
            valid = false;
            errorCode = 5;
}

Your also have the following, unnecessary code.
String digits = ccNumber.replaceAll("[ˆ0-9]","");

The reason being is that you are simply using ccNumber starting at the beginning for the first four characters and starting at the end for the last four.  In this way you are not encountering dashes so you don't need to get just the digits.
Another recommendation is that as soon as you find an error you set the error code and return immediately.  What's the use in continuing to process a card that has already been found to be flawed?
Other considerations and an alterative approach
It may not be a part of the assignment but I would also consider the following:

*

*What if you have more or less than 16 digits?

*What if you have more than three dashes giving more than four groups of numbers.

Checking the above would require additional logic and would complicate your effort.  But it is something to consider. What follows demonstrates one way to check on those particular format issues and report them.  This uses basic techniques and avoids streams so as not to repeat unnecessary operations.
This example throws selective errors based on problems found.  Those may be changed or eliminated altogether as explained later.  Credit card validation is a task where the most straightforward solution is best and should require low overhead.
First, declare a special exception to catch credit card errors.
class BadCreditCardException extends Exception {
    public BadCreditCardException(String message) {
        super(message);
    }
}

Now declare some test data.
String[] testData  = {
        "1234-4566-9292-0210",
        "1500-4009-2400-1600",
        "1500-4009-2400-160000",
        "1234-45669292-0210",
        "1@34-45-66-9292-0210",
        "1234-45B6-9292-0210",
        "1234-4566-9292-2234",
        "1234-4566-9292-021022",
        "1234-4566-9292-0210",
        "4567-4566-92!2-6835",
        "1234-4566-9292-0210",
        "1234-45+6-9292-0210",
        "1234-4566-92x2-0210",
        "1234-4566-9292-0210",
};

Test the credit cards and report errors.  Note that only first encountered errors are reported.  There may be multiple errors in the number.

String fmt = "%-23s - %s%n";
for(String card : testData) {
    try {
        validate(card);
        System.out.printf(fmt,card, "Valid");
    } catch (BadCreditCardException bce) {
        System.out.printf(fmt,card, bce.getMessage());
    }
}

The above prints.
1234-4566-9292-0210     - Invalid credit card checksum
1500-4009-2400-1600     - Valid
1500-4009-2400-160000   - Non group of 4 digits
1234-45669292-0210      - Insufficient or too may dashes
1@34-45-66-9292-0210    - Insufficient or too may dashes
1234-45B6-9292-0210     - Non digit found.
1234-4566-9292-2234     - Valid
1234-4566-9292-021022   - Non group of 4 digits
1234-4566-9292-0210     - Invalid credit card checksum
4567-4566-92!2-6835     - Non digit found.
1234-4566-9292-0210     - Invalid credit card checksum
1234-45+6-9292-0210     - Non digit found.
1234-4566-92x2-0210     - Non digit found.
1234-4566-9292-0210     - Invalid credit card checksum

The Explanation
The validate method. The method works as follows.

*

*split the card into groups using the dash (-) as a delimiter.

*If there are not four groups, throw an exception.

*Otherwise, sum each of the groups as follows each of these is checked during the summation process.

*

*first check that the group is of size four, if not throw an exception.

*as the group characters are iterated, if a non-digit is encountered, throw an exception.

*otherwise, continue computing the sum for the current group as follows:

*

*If the character is a digit, subtract 0 to convert it to an int
and add to the current sums array element.

*when completed, add that group sum to the totalSum of all digits.

*if the totalSum is divisible by four and the first group is one less than the last group, it is a valid card. Otherwise, throw an exception.

Alternative error handling modification
If the exceptions are not wanted, but just a pass or fail indication, then make the following changes.

*

*change the void return type to boolean

*if an exception was throw, simply return false

*if all tests pass, then the last statement should return true
public static void validate(String cardNumber) throws BadCreditCardException {
    int [] groupSums = new int[4];
    int totalSum = 0;

    String [] groups = cardNumber.split("-");

    if (groups.length != 4) {
        throw new BadCreditCardException("Insufficient or too may dashes");
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < groupSums.length; i++) {
        if (groups[i].length() != 4) {
             throw new BadCreditCardException("Non group of 4 digits");
        }
        for(int digit : groups[i].toCharArray()) {
            if (!Character.isDigit(digit)) {
                throw new BadCreditCardException("Non digit found.");
            }
            groupSums[i]+= digit -'0';
        }
        totalSum += groupSums[i];
    }
    if (groupSums[0]+1 != groupSums[3] || totalSum % 4 != 0) {
        throw new BadCreditCardException("Invalid credit card checksum");
    }
}

A: Try the code above. Should be what you asked. You don't need a try catch.
 static boolean isCardValid(String creditCard) {
    // group digits in a string array
    String[] cards = creditCard.split("-");
    int sumAll = 0;

    // for every group of digits we convert it to char[]
    for (String card : cards) {
        sumAll += sum(card.toCharArray());
    }

    int firstGroupOfDigits = sum(cards[0].toCharArray()) ;
    int lastGroupOfDigits = sum(cards[cards.length-1].toCharArray());

    if( firstGroupOfDigits == lastGroupOfDigits -1){
        if (sumAll % 4 == 0) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

// sum the group of digits separated by "-"
static int sum(char[] chr) {
    int sum = 0;
    for (char c : chr) {
        sum += Character.getNumericValue(c);
    }
    return sum;
}

A: A separate class for Credit card and its parts

*

*Add a Part class that manages a portion of the credit card

*Add a CreditCard class that manages these portions

*Valid each portion

*In addition to validating each potion individually, validate additional check

*Depending on the number of times, the valid & sumDigits method will be called, validation/sum can be added in respective methods or in constructor.

import java.util.Arrays;

public class CreditCard {

        this.input = card;
        if (card == null || card.length() != 19) {
            valid = false;
            parts = null;
        } else {
            parts = Arrays.stream(card.split("-")).map(Part::new).toArray(Part[]::new);
            final int totalSum = Arrays.stream(parts).mapToInt(Part::sumDigits).sum();
            valid = totalSum % 4 == 0 && parts.length == 4
                && parts[0].sumOfDigits + 1 == parts[3].sumOfDigits
                && Arrays.stream(parts).allMatch(Part::isValid);
        }
    }

    static class Part {
        final int num;
        final boolean valid;
        final int sumOfDigits;

        Part(String part) {
            int localNum = 0;
            try {
                localNum = Integer.parseInt(part);
            } catch (Throwable ignored) {
            }
            this.num = localNum;

            } else {

            }
        }

            .forEach(c -> System.out.println(c.input + " is " + c.valid));
    }

}

A: Everything is fine except the second for loop and your if condition.
Replace your code with the following changes and it should work fine:
int firstfourdigits = 0, lastfourdigits = 0;

for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
    firstfourdigits = firstfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(ccNumber.charAt(i));

for (int m = ccNumber.length()-1; m>ccNumber.length()-5; m--)
    lastfourdigits = lastfourdigits + Character.getNumericValue(ccNumber.charAt(m));

if(firstfourdigits != lastfourdigits - 1){
    valid = false;
    errorCode = 5;
    return;
}

You do not need to extract digits at all.

A: public boolean ccnCheck(String ccn){
    String iccn = ccn.replaceAll("-","");
    int length = iccn.length();

    int fsum = 0;
    int lsum = 0;
    int allsum = 0;
    for( int i = 0; i < length; i++){
        int val = Character.getNumericValue(iccn.charAt(m))
        if( i < 4)
            fsum += val;
        if( i >= length-4)
            lsum += val;
        allsum += val;
    }

    if( (allsum % 4) != 0)
        return false;

    if( fsum != lsum-1 )
        return false;

    return true;
}

A: In your rule five check, you're using ccNumber instead of your digits string.
For example, shouldn't

MADLSA Announces Starting the Implementation of Minimum Wages as of 20 March
Business and FinanceEmployment and Workplace
21 Mar, 2021 09:16 AMAl Sharq Newspaper, Gulf Times
Visitor:Business Owner
The Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs (MADLSA) announced yesterday, Saturday the implementation of new minimum wages for all workers, starting from Saturday, 20 March 2021. This comes in implementation of Law No. 17 of 2020 regarding setting the minimum wage for workers and domestic workers.
In this context, the Ministry said that companies must comply with the minimum basic wage of QR1,000 when concluding contracts. In addition, the employer should allocate an allowance if adequate housing and food for the worker or domestic worker are not provided. The minimum housing allowance is QR500, while food allowance is QR300, with the obligation to amend the employment contracts, as the Ministry said.
MADLSA emphasized that adopting minimum basic wage, housing and food would generate better relations between the employer and the employee. The Ministry added that the State of Qatar is the first country in the region to adopt a non-discriminatory minimum wage, which is a fundamental pillar in the reform program and the transition plan toward a knowledge-based economy, as stipulated in Qatar National Vision 2030.


Turkish people want a true Western-style democracy with Islamic values as was envisioned by Atatürk.
And how could you reverse course with your own Kurdish community? They are Turkish citizens—why deny them their inherent right to live in accordance with their cultural heritage? You went on a rampage to discriminate against them as if they were your sworn enemies. No, Mr. Erdogan. When you clamp down on the legal pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party and arrest Kurdish notables and intellectuals for presumed links with the PKK, don't expect loyalty—you are merely inviting increasing violence. You openly threaten the Iraqi Kurds with retaliation as they pursue independence, fearing your own Kurds would follow in their footsteps—yet you fail to realize your belligerent policies are only exacerbating the separatism you fear.
I know you take pride – and for good reason – in growing the economy by nearly tripling Turkey's GNP during your first years as prime minister. But then, the poverty rate of the population in Turkey is at a high of 22.4 percent—a staggering one quarter (20 million) of the Turkish population. This is not a reality that you care to recognize; you deny it to suit your inflated ego about the wonder of Turkey's economic miracle.


Merry and Bright and some WINNERS!
Hello! We have been under the weather with ICE this past weekend but thankfully we did not lose power. However, many friends and family did......with some still without power.
I have another Concord & 9th card share today with the Shine Brighter stamp set. Don't forget that there is still a SALE going on through today!
Last week over on Instagram, I had a giveaway posted! I have chosen the winners that each receive this Shine Brighter stamp set! I will be posting this over on IG soon! Thank you all for becoming followers and to Concord & 9th for the giveaway!
Hello! Today holds lots of preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. There is ice in the weather forecast and unfortunately we are driving for Thanksgiving lunch tomorrow. :( I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
I have this CAS card today using Penguin Greetings set from Avery Elle. I wanted to create a scene that made them the star of the show. Some simple ink blending for the hill was all it needed! I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the curved die from Snow Caps Elle-ments to achieve this.
And ready for a sale? Here's what Avery Elle has for you!
Happy Monday! I have the pleasure of Guest Designing for a new stamp company called Concord & 9th. If you haven't checked them out yet, what are you waiting for? They have some amazing innovative dies, stamp sets, and extras like Happy Hues Cards (which I LOVE)!
I decided to change up the holiday mantra here and designed a floral card incorporating emboss resist with watercolor. I've used Shine Brighter stamps and dies from Concord & 9th.
I began white heat embossing the flower from the stamp set onto Tim Holtz Watercolor paper. Now while there is no "leaf" stamp, I was creative and used the "flame" stamp and added my own "vein" with my Versamark pen. The leaves were heat embossed as well. My images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then washed with my waterbrush to tone them down. They were all diecut with the coordinating dies and set aside.
Now.....let's talk about that FABULOUS Tree Ring stamp. I fell in love when I saw this! I stamped the Tree Ring with Antique Linen Distress Ink and washed it with my waterbrush. Here's the part where I wished I had stamped it onto watercolor paper but oh well! I dried it with my heat tool and then overnight put it between some books to help flatten out. To soften the edges, I added a little Tumbled Glass Distress Ink around the perimeter of the Tree Ring. My panel was added to a top folding notecard that was layered with pattern paper from Bella Rouge by Pink Paislee. I didn't adhere the panel all the way but left the corners somewhat turned up. Lastly, I added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh as embellishments.
Now, I did mention a giveaway right? Concord & 9th wants to give one of my followers on INSTAGRAM and a friend the Shine Bright stamp set!
I wanted to share a card that uses these FABULOUS watercolor panels from Taylored Expressions. I am in love with these! These panels are 3 x 4 and are only $4 for 12 panels!!! There is something therapeutic about coloring in these images with a watercolor palette. Check out the FULL post over on the Taylored Expressions blog.
Welcome to the 25 Days of Christmas Tags with Tracey McNeely! I love this yearly celebration of tags! Every day you will find inspiration on Tracey's blog from lots of your favorite stamp companies! Make sure to check out her blog: In My Creative Opinion.
Today, I'm sharing a tag as part of the Reverse Confetti day for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags. Jen from Reverse Confetti has designed some of the most FABULOUS tag dies......seriously. This tag, Gift Card Holder Tag, is one of the best ones yet. Here I've used the dies included with this set to make a shaker tag with papers I've watercolored with Distress Inks. Loads of flat and cupped sequins along with clear/silver seed beads fill the shaker. To embellish the frame, I added a Wreath Die and a tiny bow from Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts. The peace sentiment is from the Winter Words Confetti Cuts.
Find out all the details about the 25 Days of Christmas Tags HERE.
Right at Home for the Holidays!
Hello!! Welcome to the Right at Home for the Holidays Inspiration Guide E-book Launch! I am so excited to help Nicole in launching her Holiday E-book!
Included are lots of fun ideas that will make your holiday crafting a breeze. For $5, you will receive the digital download of this book with 6 pages full of holiday-themed ideas meant to make your season's bright. Alongside each project will be a complete supply list and instructions.
For my card, I was inspired by one of the layouts Nicole shares in her E-book. If you need a little direction on a card, using a layout (or sketch) is GREAT!!! Using stamps from Nicole's Holiday Release, I stamped and fussy cut my florals. These were added to a diecut stitched tag with foam adhesive. For my sentiment, I cut my stamp apart.....gasp, I know. By doing this, my sentiment can be easily stamped in 2 colors. Gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added to finish off the card.
I am joined by several Instagram friends for today's E-book Launch. Here is a list of everyone!
Today, I'm sharing a tag as part of the Pretty Pink Posh day for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags. PPP has some amazing tag dies or shapes that can be made into tags. I've used the Stitched Banner Duo 2 for my tag and Stitched Borders 1 for the snowy hill. Did you know that Paulina is now designing her own stamps??? They are adorable!! That cute bunny is from the NEW stamp set called Holiday Pals. Tumbled Glass Distress Ink was blended into the background and snowflakes were white heat embossed. All images were colored with Copic markers.
Welcome! How can it be Wednesday already? The week is just flying by or maybe it's because Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas follows quick. Anyway, I have a card that can also be seen over on the Avery Elle blog.
I've used the Christmas Florals stamps and coordinating Elle-ments dies. I began my layout with a diecut circle from the Burst Dies Elle-ments and used the Pierced Circles Elle-ments for a little detail. After stamping and diecuting my florals with Cherry, Magenta, and Jungle Pigment Avery Elle ink, I arranged them on the right side of the pierced circle. The font for the sentiment is just perfect for a classic Christmas card. A sprinkling of Silver Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added as embellishments.
Since Thanksgiving holiday is coming up, I thought I'd pull out the Pumpkin Patch stamps and matching Confetti Cuts for this month's SFYTT!
I started by diecuting 2 tags from the Thanks Tag Confetti Cuts and trimming the tops off. To add some pattern to my layout, I stamped the trimmed tags with Whole Lotta Dots stamps. I added a diecut gold glitter banner from Stitched Tag Trio Confetti Cuts. I stamped, diecut, and assembled my pumpkin and added it over some gold thread with foam adhesive. A few gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added to complete the sketch.
My first card uses the ADORABLE Holiday Pals and Dies. I love that these can be used for more than just holiday. I paired the Holiday Pals up with the Stitched Photo Frame Dies and created a little photo collage! To one of the photo frames, I made it into a small shaker with the new 4mm Holly Jolly Christmas sequins. For my background, I lightly added Tumbled Glass Distress Ink just where the photo frames were positioned leaving some white space around the perimeter. I love the tiny sentiment in this set and stamped it at angles along with the frames!
My second card uses a set that is sure to be a hit.......Rainy Days. The fonts and all the elements that are included make this a must have set for 'thinking of you' cards or just to cheer someone up!
I white heat embossed the raindrops stamp for my background and only did this about 3/4 the way down the card because I wanted to leave a space to stamp my sentiment. This scalloped frame is from a new set that is EXCLUSIVE to the PPP shop and is called Scallop Frames Dies. Here I've diecut 2 and glued them together for dimension. I stamped and diecut the umbrella pieces and added those inside the frame.
Now for the fun part! The PRIZES!!!
There will be 4 (four) $25 gift certificates up for grabs (2 for each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 11/16/2015. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog on November 18th.
Welcome back! It's a busy day here for my blog but I have an adorable gift bag and tag that can be seen over on the Avery Elle blog.
I started by diecutting and assembling my gift box using the Classic Bag Elle-ments. A few pieces of Scor-Tape is all this box needs to assemble! What is awesome about this bag die is that it cuts 2 slits on each panel so you can thread ribbon through for an easy bow!
My tag is from the Pocket Tag Elle-ments and was colored with Distress Ink and hills from the Snow Caps Elle-ments were added to create a tiny scene. My cute penguin is from the Snow Much Fun stamp set which was cut out using the Snow Much Fun dies. My sentiment was pieced together from Snow Much Fun and the die cut word "Merry" is from the Holly Jolly Elle-ments.
Welcome to Day 2 of the online event........Crazy for Christmas with Reverse Confetti! There is lots of inspiration using Reverse Confetti product for amazing Christmas projects! Make sure to check out the Reverse Confetti Blog for a full list! Today we are sharing projects that are all about "Gift Giving"!
I have wanted to create an embroidery hoop project for a while. What better than to make a mini one with the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts! I've used some fun bright colors for the holiday and hopefully this piece of art can be displayed through the winter! Since we are all about "gift giving".........this little decor piece will be finding a new home soon!
I started by distressing my hoop with some Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and then stretched a section of burlap into the frame and secured. Let me tell you......making these snowflakes is ADDICTING! There are so many possibilities! When I pulled out my colors of felt, I just couldn't decide! As a finishing touch, I added some Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!
November Verve Diva Inspiration Hop!

On creating the Ubuntu VM we got a blue screen Windows failure. It now works after a hardware upgrade: increased RAM from 4 to 8 GB; replace HDD with new SSD. Running crucial.com's System Scanner was excellent for getting upgrade specs and options specific to a pc or laptop.

@RachelPlatten 's Album #Wildfire A Flame That Can't Be Put Out
Posted on January 25, 2016 January 21, 2016 by The Smart Cookie
I bet you didn't know that this album #Wildfire isn't Rachel Platten's first rodeo. This is her third studio album and it hits all the right notes musically. Chances are, you've sang along to a Rachel Platten song? She's the powerhouse voice behind your Top 40 car karaoke go-to, the song that motivates while going for a run and after a really hard day, "Fight Song." Yet, where did Rachel Platten get her start as an artist? Her 34 year old fighter spirit was born to Jewish parents Paul and Pamela Platten in Manhatten but was raised in Newton Centre, Massechusetts. She studied classical piano from age five and learned how to play guitar in high school.
She attended Trinity College where she was an active member of the all-female campus acapella group, the Trinitones. She graduated from college with a degree in International Relations but inspired by an experience singing back up for a friend's band in Trinadad while studying abroad while performing for about 800,000, she decided that she had to pursue music full-time. From here, she moved to New York's Greenwich Village performing with a cover band called Dayz of Wild. In 2012, she married Kevin Lezan in a Jewish ceremony.
Musically, her debut studio album Trust In Me was released in 2003. She is famous for calling her debut a collection of demoes. Her second album, Be Here was released on Rock Ridge Music in 2011. "1,000 ships," the single off her 2011 album hit number 24 on the Billboard Top 40 chart. Following this, her songs began to become heavily demanded for use in television shows such as Pretty Little Liars as well as used as the theme song for the hit show Jane By Design, commericals such as the 2015 Ford commerical, and even film soundtracks such as The Good Guy.
On June 27, 2014, Platten debuted "Fight Song" on We Heart It as part of an artist spotlight. She is now signed to Columbia Records which began promotion of her as their artist by releasing "Fight Song" as her debut single in the spring of 2015. It went on to debut at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and later peaked at number 6. As far as her fight, she's slayed by shattering records by having two Top 40 hit singles both with "Fight Song" and "Stand by You," which debuted at number 38 and peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Song by Song Review
"Stand By You": The second single off this album that has gypsy vibes musically, and talks about unconditional love and loyalty between two friends or lovers.
"Hey Hey Hallelujah": Featuring Top 40 favorite Andy Grammer, it's my favorite track off the album because it not only has a fun, dancy almost churchy musical style but it references a woman who knows her power around the men who fall for her.
"Speechless": A ballad that's slow in tempo but heavy in its lyrical content about being blown away by someone as a person, yet they even have the power to "quiet your demons."
"Beating Me Up": The drum beat in this track is a lot like a war drum but echoes that of a heartbeat as this song lyrically discusses letting go of someone who was toxic to you, and how you must eradicate them from your heart to ever move on completely.
"Fight Song": It's an anthemic pop song set in midtempo, self-affirming in its lyrical content, and chances are you've not only already heard it but you played it when you needed a pick me up after a rough day.
"Better Place": A song with Platten's vocals and piano backtrack. It lyrically references moving on finally from that toxic lover mentioned in Beating Me Up.
"Lone Ranger": Musically and lyrically, this is a hit for sure. Musically, it reminds me of a Shakira song. Lyrically, it talks about someone who suffers from trust issues and would rather be alone than get close to people.
"You Don't Know My Heart": Musically, it has EDM pop sounds paired with strong lyrics about being judged and declaring that this person doesn't know the real you. #ThankYouRachelPlatten
"Angels In Chelsea": Another favorite off the album biased because it's co-written by Hot Chelle Rae band member Nash Overstreet. It's optimistic in both its lyrical content and musically, it sounds much like a church choir would.
"Astronauts": Another piano pop ballad mixed with EDM sounds, it reminds me of a Paula Abdul song during the chorus section. Platten vocally even sounds like a mix of Abdul and Christina Perri.
"Congratulations": R&B from the first note, Platten's vocals on this track slay because the way she announces her words, and the power in her voice really makes this track a power anthem in the most subtle way.
"Superman": The track begins with just a heartbeat style drum beat and Platten's vocals. You can really here the power Platten holds as a vocalist because she has such control over her voice and this track ends the album perfectly as perfect evidence of that.
Wildfire debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. As of February 2016, she will head out on the Wildfire Tour to further promote her album. With her anthemic fight songs, Platten cemented her destiny as a star on the rise, and a hero in our hearts.

@PanicAtTheDisco's Fifth Album #DeathofABachelor Knocks One Out of the Park
I've been listening to #DeathofABachelor since it was released a week ago on January 15, 2016. I'm talking, I've only been listening to that album for a week straight. When I workout, when I shower, when I'm feeling like giving up on this thing called life. I already know all the words, and I'm totally stoked that Panic At The Disco is back, and badder than ever!
In case you don't remember who Panic At The Disco is they are an American Rock band from Las Vegas, NV. The only member of the band that hasn't changed is lead vocalist and multi-instumentalist Brendan Urie. The rest of the founding band members have been replaced since the band first started in 2004. They are most known for their single off their first studio album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," which was a Top Ten hit single despite being the band's first single ever released. It was later certified double platinum.
In 2006, the band lost its original bassist and found that with their second album, Pretty Odd, their sound had changed. This lead to principal writer Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker, leaving only Brendan and Spencer Smith as the bands only remaining members. This didn't leave the band in disarray for long because they picked up and released their third album, Vices &Virtues in 2011.
In 2011, the now three member band (Dalton Weekes, Spencer Smith, and Brenden Urie) released their fourth studio album, Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!. In 2015, Spencer Smith left the band and Dalton Weekes became just a touring member, leaving Brendan as the only member left.
Death of the Bachelor was solely written and recorded by Brendan Urie. The album is written based on his current lifestyle with wife, Sarah Urie.
"Victorious": The first single off the fifth album is like a musical cue similar to that of a champagne bottle popping to celebrate big and small victories in life. Writer and vocalist Urie said that when he recorded the song, he almost passed out from that note he holds during the beginning of the song.
"Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time": This track is definitely a continuation of the party theme from victorious but has very blunt lyrics talking about all the ingredients to a good time including: "champagne, cocaine, gasoline, and most things in between…" Urie claims that that specific line was considered problematic by industry executives but he kept it because it reflected the lifestyle of being young, how they chase that feeling and it's never enough. This song reminds me of the movies The Hangover and 21 and Over.
"Hallelujah": Urie claims this song was written while drinking scotch in the studio, and it's just a bunch of drunken ramblings. It definitely has a "Take Me To Church" feel and utilizes a trumpet in the beginning of the track which again gives it and old-timey gospel feel.
"Emperor's New Clothes": This song has a royal theme to it; my favorite part of the track because it's one of my favorites is the "finders keepers, losers weepers" throughout. The track is one of my favorites because it's the most rock-and-roll track on the album.
"Death of A Bachelor": Has a Sinatra, jazzy feel to it. It features a melotran track playing in the background. Urie explains the track as quote, "Death Of A Bachelor" is very important to me. It expresses the bittersweet (but mostly sweet) end of an era. A look back at a part of my life now deceased. An "It's A Wonderful Life"-esque look into a possibly different future. But mostly an appreciation for the present." For me, the track reminds me of the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World because it has a breakdown that sounds like music you'd hear in Mario Kart or a video game in general.
"Crazy=Genius": Most definitely, my favorite track on this album because people call me crazy all the time but musically I love that the drum beat from this track is the same from "Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman, which was featured in a Chips Ahoy! Commercial back in 1990's.
"L.A. Devotee": A track that's musically in three different keys, E-minor, E-major, and F-major, it talks about the people of Los Angeles; How they always have a new fix to make them ageless and beautiful.
"Golden Days" A track written to emulate Weezer's "My Name is Jonas" with use of a cymbal during the chorus of the track. Lyrically, it holds a lot of descriptive imagery and is a good example show, don't tell.
"The Good, The Bad, The Dirty" A track that talks about the judgements of other people and how you have to fight past that in order to know who you truly are. Musically, it has a pop-rock sound. My favorite line: "If you want to start a fight, you better throw the first punch, make it a good one."
"House of Memories": A track that was originally written on piano, it has an evil composer sound to it. Lyrically, it's about his life with his wife Sarah.
"Impossible Year": The only track I can't bear to listen to on the entire album because it just has a weighty, woe is me feel to it. As an optimist, I shy away from songs like that because if you aren't careful they can put you in the wrong mindset. Musically, the track has EDM style swirls throughout.
Death of A Bachelor may be Panic At The Disco's fifth album but it stands apart from the rest because not only does it have hip-hop, pop, and rock musical stylings but it proves that rock and roll is still very much alive. Panic At the Disco just announced that in 2016, they are heading out on tour to co-headline with fellow rock band, Weezer.

Elle King Will Make You "Love Stuff" Off Her Debut Album
I bet you don't know who Elle King even is. If, like myself, you came across a blurb about her in Cosmopolitan magazine, you googled her single "Ex's and Oh's" because they said you would be playing on repeat. Cosmopolitan magazine was not playing. From the moment I found this video
I had it on repeat. That was two weeks ago. On February 17, 2015, Elle King's debut album Love Stuff was released by RCA records. Daughter of famed comedic actor Rob Schneider, Elle King's bluesy rock and roll sound could make her the female version of Jonny Lang. My favorites from the album beside the single Ex's and Oh's are America's Sweetheart (a song that declares she is who she is and "if you try to change her, you can go to hell,") and Make You Smile. Trust me, with one listen, Elle King will command your attention and make you love the stuff she sings about.

Mash together all the ingredients except the semolina in a single bowl, adding them in any order. You could use a food processor to do this job for you, but I used just my hands. Some people find it messy to work their food with their hands, but being Indian I am used to eating with my hands, so this was no problem at all!
When you have a composite mass, start adding the semolina to bind everything together. Add as much or as little semolina as you would need to be able to roll small balls of the mixture. You can roll the balls to any size you prefer.
Place each ball on a baking sheet and press down to form a patty. Continue till you have exhausted the mixture and have a neat array of patties on your baking sheet.
Pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for about ½ an hour to make them a bit firmer. This helps in handling them while frying when you flip them on the pan.
Once you have waited out the ½ hour, bring out as many as you want to eat right then and shallow fry over a medium heat. Flip them over till both sides are crispy.
Enjoy with some ketchup or hot sauce!
The rest of the patties (if you still have any in the fridge) can go into the freezer for another happy meal.
I love tuna patties;). This looks like a wonderful recipe to try!
They look delicious! I have to try them! And I love the serving plate too!
