The complete removal of all foreign matter, eg. scale, grease, cutting oil, soil, welding splatter, etc.
The conditioning of the surface so as to render it suitable for the coating that is to be applied.
The pretreatment should impart uniformity throughout all treated workpiece surfaces, irrespective of the source of the metal or of the contaminants that might adhere.
As with other methods of organic finishing attention to the pretreatment stage is essential in order to achieve the full potential of the powder coating.
Surface pretreatment may vary depending upon the specific end-use requirements of the finished products – from a single-step cleansing operation to a multi-stage sophisticated pretreatment which deposits a conversion coating on the surface of the metal.
Application of a coating of electrostatically charged particles to an earthed metal surface can only be achieved if the surface is free of any composition which has a high electrical resistance. The presence of any insulating film on the surface of the workpiece to be coated will limit or in some cases prevent powder being deposited.
Steel, aluminium, copper, zinc alloys and galvanised steel are common metals on which powder is used. In a number of cases where normal service conditions apply, satisfactory properties can be obtained on thoroughly cleaned metal.
For iron/steel surfaces maximum corrosion and salt spray resistance are given by a zinc phosphate conversion coating.
For aluminium and its alloys, although the clean surfaces are easily coated and adhesion is excellent, performance can be upgraded using a proprietary chromate conversion coating.
With all zinc based substrates such as Zintec, Mazac and Galvanised Steel a suitable phosphate coating is recommended.
These surfaces can give considerable difficulty with 'blowing' of the powder coating due to entrapment of air. The profile of the metal and thickness of coating must therefore be strictly controlled. Preheating for a few minutes sometimes overcomes this defect.
This can be achieved by mechanical scuffing, wire brushing or for larger areas, by abrasive blasting. Sand as an abrasive material has been banned in the UK as well as in many European countries.
The coarse expendable types of abrasive or re-usable metallic abrasives which took over from sand are now augmented by a whole range of ultra-fine abrasives, ranging from 600 mesh fused aluminous oxide (which is as fine as talcum powder), soft vegetable abrasives such as walnut shell and peach stones, through to tiny glass spheres less than 25µ in diameter. With these extremely fine abrasives a complete surface uniformity can now be achieved. Obviously using a very fine grit the rate of scale removal is rather slow, whereas a too coarse grit will give such a rough surface that the flow of the powder during stoving will be inhibited with consequent loss of gloss accompanied by an extremely rough surface profile.
To provide some idea of the relative surface roughness on a steel surface which has been shot blasted the 'peak to valley' measurement would be about 100µ. With fused aluminous oxide (grade 180/220) it would be 3-5µ, while with glass beads it would be 1-1.5µ.
This is usually the first step in the preparation of metallic surfaces for coating. There are numerous ways of carrying out this operation and some of the more common methods are briefly enumerated below.
Grease removal can be achieved by wiping the workpiece with a cloth soaked in a suitable solvent. This method will remove grease and solid matter fairly efficiently until first the cloth and then the solvent become dirty. Thereafter this method will only spread the grease and for really effective cleaning the rags and solvent will have to be replaced frequently. If only loose dust is the contaminant, tack-rags are often used.
Although this method is quick and convenient for small scale production, it suffers from high labour and material costs and, depending on the solvent selected, can be a fire or health hazard.
With this method the workpiece is immersed in a tank of solvent and after withdrawal, when the solvent has evaporated, all oil and grease should have been removed.
This method remains effective until, like the solvent wipe, contamination has built up in the solvent dip tank and an equilibrium is reached whereby as much oil or grease is redeposited on the work as it takes off. The only difference between the two methods is that this oil is spread over the whole component.
Better results can be obtained by having a number of tanks in line on a cascade principle, but this takes up considerable space and is expensive as solvent losses due to evaporation are high.
Again, depending on the solvent used it can be a health or fire hazard. Neither the solvent wipe or solvent dip methods are recommended.
Using this technique the workpiece is suspended in the vapour of a chlorinated solvent such as trichloroethylene in a specially designed plant and the metal is degreased by the condensation of the vapour on its cold metal surface, which solubilises the oils and grease which run off the parts with the liquid as it returns to the sump.
This is a much more efficient process because the solvent is continuously boiled up to replace the vapour that condenses.
On its own this method will degrease effectively but any solid particles left on the surface may remain there after all the oil and grease has been removed.
Improvements can be obtained by including a boiling liquor stage or by the use of ultrasonic agitation. In addition special additives can be put into the chlorinated solvent to improve efficiency.
The workpiece can be dipped into or preferably sprayed with a solution of a suitable detergent in hot water and then rinsed and dried. This will effectively remove light contamination but will not deal with aged oil, grease or heavy soils.
Emulsion cleaners are usually pre-emulsified kerosene/water emulsions, or kerosene-based concentrates which emulsify when added to water. Like the alkali cleaners, emulsions are most efficient when used in spray equipment but can be quite effective as immersion cleaners in many instances.
Emulsion cleaners normally operate at lower temperatures than the alkali type and in some cases can be used at ambient temperatures.
Alkali cleaners – Again the workpiece can either be dipped or sprayed with a hot aqueous solution of a suitable alkali mixture and then rinsed twice and dried. Spray application is more effective than dipping and is cheaper as higher operating temperatures (70-90oC) and concentrations have to be used with the latter. Spray application varies in time from 5-60 seconds whereas dip takes from 1-5 minutes. Immersion cleaners can disperse the grease and oil by emulsifying them into the solution. Alternatively cleaners are available which separate the oil into a layer so that it can be floated off the cleaner surface over a suitable weir.
Alkali cleaners can effectively remove oil, grease and soils and will cope readily with the heaviest contaminants.
There is a wide variety of alkali cleaners whose properties can be adjusted to give effective cleaning from any set of contaminants. These cleaners often include grain refining agents to ensure that phosphate coatings subsequently applied to steel surfaces have a fine grained crystal structure.
In addition to the alkali the mixtures contain detergents, emulsifiers, sequestering and chelating agents and occasionally water-softening additives.
It should be noted that only under controlled conditions are alkali cleaners suitable for light alloys, zinc, galvanised metal or aluminium which are all attacked by alkali.
Acid pickling using either inhibited sulphuric or hydrochloric acid can completely remove rust and scale and can also condition the surface. This method is usually confined to iron or steel surfaces.
It is of paramount importance that when aqueous cleaning methods are employed great care be taken to ensure that subsequent water rinsing is of high standard to ensure that the dried and cleaned components are not contaminated with acid, alkali or emulsion. Also if a conversion coating system does not follow on in sequence the work must be dried rapidly and effectively to prevent rusting of the surface.
The recognised pre-treatment for steel substrates just prior to application of powder is phosphating which can vary in coating weight.
The greater the conversion coating weight the greater the degree of corrosion resistance achieved; the lower the coating weight the better the mechanical properties. It is therefore necessary to select a compromise between mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. High phosphate coating weights can give trouble with powder coatings in that crystal fracture can occur when the coating is subjected to locally applied mechanical forces, eg. bending or impact.
Due to the excellent adhesion of the powder coating to the phosphate coating, disbondment will usually occur at the phosphate/metal substrate interface rather than at the phosphate/powder coating interface.
Phosphate coatings are covered by BS3189/1959, Class C for zinc phosphate and Class D for iron phosphate.
A fine grain crystalline zinc phosphate is recommended at coating weights of 1-2g/m2 and for iron phosphate at 0.3-1g/m2. Application can be made by spray or dip. Chromate passivation is not usually necessary.
Iron phosphate coatings are normally spray applied in a three or four stage operation. The work usually passes through two water rinse sections before drying.
Zinc phosphate can be either spray or dip applied in a five stage operation, ie. alkali degrease, rinse, zinc phosphate, two water rinses.
It is essential that the workpiece after phosphating is powder coated as soon as possible after drying.
A lightweight zinc phosphate coating is recommended. Generally electro-deposited zinc coatings present no pre-treatment problems but hot dipped galvanised coating can affect adhesion. Increasing degree of spangle decreases adhesion characteristics.
The main conversion coating for aluminium and its alloys is a chromate coating which can be colourless or of the yellow chromium oxide or green chromic phosphate type. The coating weight recommended is 0.1-0.5g/m2.
The five stage process normally consists of an alkali degrease, rinse, chromate conversion, followed by two rinses.
Again the chromate coating should be of low film weight for maximum adhesion.
For high quality applications it is usually necessary to employ a final rinse with de-mineralised water. The conductivity of the final rinse bath is then monitored to ensure its cleanliness.
One way of avoiding the need for this is to use a dry-in-place or no-rinse process. These are predominantly a form of chromate. It is arguable whether they are true conversion coatings or merely dried-on films with some reaction with the substrate but the advantages of needing no rinse are obvious.
The increasingly strict environmental standards in the developed world mean that there is a move away from heavy-metal containing pre-treatment, particularly chromate. Early chromate-free pretreatments had poor performance but more recently standards have improved with the first approvals for use on architectural aluminium applications being awarded by the Qualicoat organisation in 1996.
Local authorities work to different standards in dealing with effluent discharge. However they are all becoming more stringent and cautious as to what effluent they will accept.
Generally iron phosphate solutions can be passed to drain without treatment, zinc phosphate solutions usually have to be below a specified concentration level which can normally be achieved by diluting in ordinary water.
Some final rinse solutions contain chromate, which requires special treatment because of its toxic effects on marine life.

Powerball fever spikes as jackpot rises to $500 million
Nov. 27, 2012, 6:19 PM UTC
By Becky Bratu
NEW YORK -- The steady stream of commuters, transit workers, and veteran gamblers who stopped by a Grand Central Terminal kiosk Tuesday had one thought in common: To win the estimated $500 million Powerball jackpot, the largest in the game's history.
It's a scene being repeated across the 42 states, plus Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands, where Powerball is played.
For Keith "Stix" Lexa, the dream is buying a farm. Lexa, who lives in Queens, N.Y., and works at Grand Central as a Metro-North Railroad mechanic, is a self-proclaimed "big gambler" who plays the lottery regularly.
"I would buy a farm, a bunch of horses," Lexa said. "I've always loved animals." For good measure, he said, he'd also invest in Budweiser.
Overhearing him, Tony, Lexa's friend and co-worker, said he'd buy the farm next door so he could drop by and bug him.
At the Hudson News kiosk where Lexa bought his tickets, more than $1,600 had been spent on Powerball tickets between 7 and 9 a.m. That kind of activity, repeated at store after store across the country, helped drive the estimated jackpot from $425 million to $500 million for Wednesday night's drawing.
As big as this week's Powerball jackpot is, it's not the largest lottery prize ever. That mark is held by the $656 million Mega Millions jackpot that was split by three ticket buyers earlier this year. The biggest Powerball prize was $365 million in 2006, shared by several ConAgra Foods Workers in Lincoln, Neb.
Chuck Strutt, executive director of Multi-State Lottery Association, the group that runs Powerball, told The Associated Press there's a 60 percent chance the prize will be won Wednesday. Strutt added the odds of someone taking home the prize can improve if there's a large number of last-minute ticket purchasers picking unique numbers.
One reason for the big pot is because Powerball tickets doubled in price to reach $2 in January, which led to an increase in revenue of about 35 percent over 2011. Strutt told The AP that sales for Powerball reached a record $3.96 billion in fiscal 2012, which ended in September, and are expected to reach $5 billion this fiscal year.
In interviews Tuesday, the consensus among both amateur and experienced players at Grand Central was that quitting their job was the first thing they'd do if they won.
Dominic DeCarlo, who was commuting through the station to his job in finance in Manhattan, said he doesn't think about winning too much because he gets discouraged.
"Playing this is against all laws of finance," he said, adding: "I'd probably quit my job, buy a nice house, maybe leave the country."
Eusebio Wilson-Pinto, a tennis instructor who lives in the Bronx and plays every day, said he'd use some of the money to buy the business that employs him and become his boss's boss.
"You got to bribe your boss sometimes," he said.
Teresa White, a mother and a grandmother who lives in Brooklyn and works for MTA Metro-North Railroad, said she'd give half of her prize to a charity that supports education.
Father of four Antonio Macias, 69, who used to work in a Midtown Manhattan jewelry store and said he's been playing the lottery since the late 1970s, would split it among his four sons.
"Happiness is with them," he said.

The story of the youth who went forth to learn what fear was
' The man wanted to push him away; the youth, however, would not allow that, but thrust him off with all his strength, and seated himself again in his own place. Then still more men fell down, one after the other; they brought nine dead men's legs and two skulls, and set them up and played at nine-pins with them. The youth also wanted to play and said: 'Listen you, can I join you?' 'Yes, if you have any money.' 'Money enough,' replied he, 'but your balls are not quite round.' Then he took the skulls and put them in the lathe and turned them till they were round. 'There, now they will roll better!' said he. 'Hurrah! now we'll have fun!' He played with them and lost some of his money, but when it struck twelve, everything vanished from his sight. He lay down and quietly fell asleep. Next morning the king came to inquire after him. 'How has it fared with you this time?' asked he. 'I have been playing at nine- pins,' he answered, 'and have lost a couple of farthings.' 'Have you not shuddered then?' 'What?' said he, 'I have had a wonderful time! If I did but know what it was to shudder!'
The third night he sat down again on his bench and said quite sadly: 'If I could but shudder.' When it grew late, six tall men came in and brought a coffin. Then he said: 'Ha, ha, that is certainly my little cousin, who died only a few days ago,' and he beckoned with his finger, and cried: 'Come, little cousin, come.' They placed the coffin on the ground, but he went to it and took the lid off, and a dead man lay therein. He felt his face, but it was cold as ice. 'Wait,' said he, 'I will warm you a little,' and went to the fire and warmed his hand and laid it on the dead man's face, but he remained cold. Then he took him out, and sat down by the fire and laid him on his breast and rubbed his arms that the blood might circulate again. As this also did no good, he thought to himself: 'When two people lie in bed together, they warm each other,' and carried him to the bed, covered him over and lay down by him.

Toscaarc_admin2017-08-08T16:11:52+00:00
By Giacomo Puccini
The libretto places the action of Tosca in June 1800. Victorien Sardou, on whose play the opera is based, dates it more precisely; La Tosca takes place in the afternoon, evening, and early morning of 17 and 18 June 1800. Italy had long been divided into a number of kingdom-states, with the Pope in Rome ruling the Papal States in central Italy. Following the French Revolution, a French army under Napoleon invaded Italy in 1796, entering Rome almost unopposed in February 1798 and establishing the Roman Republic.

Helping Minnesotans to work longer before retirement can benefit the state's economy and also support workers who lack sufficient savings to retire.
That's a finding of a recent study conducted for the Minnesota Board on Aging by Humphrey School of Public Affairs students in partnership with Hennepin County.
The study found Minnesota is one of the nation's top 10 states in its proportion of baby boomers — people born between 1946 and 1964 — to the general population. This is reflected in Hennepin County government, where more than a third of some 8,000 workers are over 55. Furthermore, because many older county workers hold leadership positions, the county's leadership ranks will be greatly affected by retirements in the coming decade, the report said.
County leaders who were surveyed view older workers as having experience and resilience as well as mentoring, customer service and communications skills. Nearly 64 percent of survey respondents said it is important to encourage older employees to stay in the workplace past traditional retirement age to meet department needs. Challenges to employing older workers include their occasional inability to adapt to workplace changes such as new technology as well as physical limitations and taking time off to care for older parents. However, respondents said these challenges depend on the individual and in some cases affect younger workers, including those who need to take time off for child care.
Hennepin County already works to attract older workers with such approaches as flexible workplaces, ability to work remotely, phased retirement and limited duration contracts. The study noted that most successful retention and recruitment efforts, such as flexible work times and places, training and other features, benefit younger as well as older workers.
Continue research on the topic, leveraging the University of Minnesota as a resource, and involve Minnesota non-profit, for-profit and other public sector employees.
Continue communications regarding the worker shortage and solutions.

Considering the finite actions of a field on the matter and the space which used to infiltrate their quantum reality at level particle, methods are developed to serve to base the concept of "intentional action" of a field and their ordered and supported effects (synergy) that must be realized for the "organized transformation" of the space and matter. Using path integrals, these transformations are decoded and their quantum principles are shown.

Handcrafted wall and staircase. (Megan Milbradt)

Our first house was a sweet little 1947 story-and-a-half bungalow in old Fargo. We bought it for a song that felt like a fortune in 1995, and I thought it was 1,500 square feet of perfection - potential perfection anyway. To achieve my starry-eyed vision we tore out the carpet, refinished the floors, put in new windows, painted the walls, remodeled the bathroom, put in new doors, replaced the siding, replaced the fixtures, painted the cabinets, laid new flooring, remodeled the bathroom, and etc., etc.
We didn't have any money so we figured it out as we went and relied on our neighbor, Jack to help. The original Jack-of-all-trades, Jack was the go-to guy for fixing, building, advising and opining on Elmwood Avenue. He didn't wait for you to ask, he offered to help and once on the job, he became both invested and strongly opinionated about it.
My husband was far less enthused than I was about the charms of our fixer upper, and neither of us got as excited as Jack. He really brought out the worst of my impulsive nature and delusional optimism. I remember one night when Jack was amped up on dozens of Mountain Dews, I was fired up by an HGTV marathon and Shadd was out of town, we grabbed some jackhammers and knocked down a load-bearing wall to "create an open floor plan." It worked out all right (eventually), but my relationship with Jack was based more on adrenaline and half-baked ideas than logic. As a team, we took years off of my poor husband's life.
While Shadd suffered a bit over Jack, Jack suffered a lot over us - over our style in particular. From the beginning of our relationship and through every project he strove to name it.
The first time we met, he looked around at our art work, posters, makeshift bookshelves, old trunk-as-a-coffee-table and the futon covered in a beat up Mexican blanket and said, "I gotchyou. Southwestern. Your style is southwestern."
When we disagreed, he asked us what we were then. We said we weren't anything. How can that be, he'd ask. He wanted us to decide. Over the years, he'd throw out new options on a regular basis. "Kind of French Country? Modern city? Colonial? Log cabin? Old Country? What do you call it?" We never had an answer for him and it drove him crazy. I could have gotten behind Eclectic Poverty, but he never offered that up.
Jack would be glad to know that our most recent move jelled our style. A year ago, we stumbled upon the home where our stuff (and our family) belongs. It's an utterly unique and wonderfully weird home full of antlers, portholes, woodstoves and industrial accents, but lacking the closets and square footage to which we were accustomed--thereby requiring a great purge. Throughout that purge, my rule was to keep only what we need and love.
That rule, finally gave me an answer to Jack's long ago question: My style is Need & Love.
Need & Love (or Rustic Lodge as my husband calls it - primarily to see me cringe) is, by definition, very personal. You very likely wouldn't love it - and that's okay. Need & Love for me includes a lot of art. We have many artist friends, and the good fortune to be related to a relatively famous regional artist - we love them and their work. And so we hang our art in layers, without thinking too much about it going together, just glad it's all around us. We also love our books, and they are in every room of our house in bookshelves in varying states of disrepair. Our bookshelves (among other items) come from my mother's auction and rummage sale forays and we spiff them up (sometimes) or cover them up so they work in a dark corner. Some of the most loved things in our home are those we inherited or that have grown with us: the leather couch that was our first furniture investment is now aged like a good baseball glove; the old trunk-that-was-a-coffee table, holds linens now; and my dad's Navy sea chest holds games. My son's iron bedstead was our first bed, rescued from a shed on my husband's ancestral homestead.
One of my greatest treasures is a cabinet I rescued from my parents garage that was refinished by that same Jack-of-all-trades. That cabinet long ago held my grandmother's jellies and preserves, later it stored paint and turpentine in a garage, and I keep my other grandmother's china in it.
HGTV is big on "style moments" so I'll leave you with a Need and Love style moment: The other night, my mother in law and I were contemplating a tall, empty portion of my living room wall and talking about a beautiful, aging quilt that had been my great-grandmother's. I wonder if we could hang it safely, I said. We scared up a wooden towel rack from the garage, got a ladder, a drill and minutes later that family heirloom was adding more love to the home I love. And that's all I need.

Home > VR > VR Buyer's Guide > Best Phone VR Headset
The most cost-effective way to experience VR
Tom Bardwell
Phone VR headsets are a viable alternative to full-fat headsets because they make use of a device most people already own, whether that's an Android or iOS device. They are cost-effective, easy to set up, and offer an accessible entry point into the world of VR.
Phone VR headsets generally have no electronic parts, consisting of no more than lenses strapped to a casing to house the phone. By delegating the heavy lifting to the phone, these ultra-portable headsets allow for untethered use, albeit with some fairly significant compromises compared to dedicated headsets linked up to a PC. Not least, the pared-down immersion of the VR experience and the watered-down choice of apps/games.
If you are comfortable accepting these for affordability and ease of use, then phone VR headsets are an excellent way to experience VR on the cheap or test the waters before buying a full-fat dedicated headset.
For this guide, we've pulled together our top recommendations for the best phone VR headsets you can currently buy.
Products at a Glance
Destek V5 VR
Check Price 
Merge AR/VR Headset
BNEXT VR Headset
Topmaxions Cardboard V2
Our Recommended
Snug and comfortable fit
Compatible with a good range of phones
Adjustable pupil distance and strap
Limited controller functionality in iOS
Pricey by phone VR headset standards
The Destek V5 VR Headset brings a premium feel to phone VR with a build quality and looks that run contrary to what you'd expect from a low-cost VR headset. It features aspheric, anti-distortion, and anti-blue light lenses that offer an immersive 110-degree field of view for a sharp and crisp viewing experience. It's a slick headset that also conveniently ships with a mini-controller.
The lenses pair with a surprisingly comfortable T-shaped headband that delivers a snug fit thanks to three-way adjustments on the top, front, and side straps. Interpupillary distance adjustments help in that respect, too, and simplify finding the proper position for the sharpest, most immersive visuals.
The point of contact between the lenses and the user is cushioned by a comfy silicone pad designed to prevent light bleed from the outside reaching into the headset and diluting the VR experience. The pad has a strategically placed slit that sits at the top of the nose to accommodate all types of face and nose sizes.
Users should note that while the controller is a welcome accessory, functionality is limited to volume control, play/pause, and back controls when paired with an iOS device. The so-called 'Game Mode' where you can use the A/B/X/Y buttons and thumbstick only works for Android phones. The Destek V5 does, however, have a button mounted on the headset itself to help with in-app navigation that works regardless of the phone, which mitigates the diluted functionality of the controller for iOS users somewhat.
The Destek V5 VR Headset's asking price of around $40 is rather pricey by phone VR headset standards. That said, this is miles away from the hundreds of dollars required to secure a dedicated headset like an Oculus Rift or Valve Index.
Per the official documentation, the Destek V5 VR Headset supports phones sized between 4.7 and 6.8-inches as long as they feature a gyroscope. Compatible models range from the Samsung S20, S10, Note 10, Note 9, Note 8, A50, A51, and A71 to the iPhone 12, 11, X, XR, 6, 6S, 7, 8, SE.
Comfortable design with plenty of padding
Compatible with 4.8-inches to 6.2-inches phones
Adjustable IPD and headband
Two mounted input buttons
Free access to Merge Miniverse VR experiences
Prone to tearing
Though marketed squarely at educational settings, the Merge AR/VR Headset is suitable for all manner of phone VR apps and games. Its blocky design isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but this is to favor comfort and broad compatibility with all head sizes and shapes thanks to generous foam cushioning around the eyes and face and ensure durability even when subjected to regular knocks and bumps.
The headset features a pair of 42 mm lenses with a 96-degree field of view. The IPD can be adjusted, and the lenses allow for enough room for use with glasses. The straps are also fully adjustable, making easy work of finding a snug fit whatever the user's head size. Additionally, the headset features two mounted input buttons to navigate content, games, and videos easily.
Another strong point is that the Merge AR/VR Headset grants access to the Merge Miniverse, a stacked library of hundreds of VR experiences available to download and sample for free. These range from virtual field trips provided by the likes of the BBC and National Geographic to games such as Ostrich Racing and Star Wars Rogue One.
The Merge AR/VR Headset is compatible with any phone measuring anywhere between 4.8-inches and 6.2-inches, whether that's an Android or iOS device. Popular phones that pair well with the Merge AR/VR Headset include the iPhone 6, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, Samsung S20, S10, and Note 10, to name a few.
While durable, the Merge AR/VR Headset is prone to tearing around the phone casing after sustained, prolonged use, something that is disappointing given the $50 asking price – an expensive price tag for a phone VR headset. Though, with careful care and attention and regular cleaning, the problem is largely avoided.
Smartphone compatibility
Well-padded nose piece and snug headband fit
Focus and depth adjustments
No mounted input button
Cheap build quality
For those that want to make the most of their money without spending too much, the BNEXT VR Headset is a strong option that delivers a good VR experience without any added niceties. Priced at around $30, it's very affordable and provides everything you need to get going.
Comfort is a big highlight with a soft, plush, breathable nose piece that does wonders to reduce pressure, alongside a fully adjustable headband, focus, and depth adjustments to hone in on the clearest image possible and reduce distortion. We are impressed with the comfort levels on offer here, given the price point.
The sliding phone casing of the BNEXT VR Headset is also a boon, greatly simplifying the process of aligning your phone correctly. The overall design means the headset is a little front-heavy, but this is a problem most, if not all, phone VR headsets suffer from to varying degrees. The headset is available in three colors (red, blue, and silver), too, for those who want a bit of choice regarding aesthetics.
As for smartphone compatibility, manufacturer BNEXT describes the headset as 'universal virtual reality goggles' that support phones sized anywhere from 4-inches to 6.3-inches, from Android and iOS camps as long as they feature a gyroscope. Some compatible models include the iPhone X, XR, XS, 8, 8 plus, 9, 9 plus, 11, 11 pro, 12 mini, 12 pro, SE, and Samsung Note 20, S20, OnePlus phones, and Google Pixel phones.
The absence of an input button to control apps mounted on the BNEXT VR Headset is certainly missed, mainly as many other phone VR headsets include this small but handy feature. Another point of contention is the cheap build quality. It comes with the territory of low-cost products, but BNEXT VR Headset's cheap plastic feel may not suit those that want a more premium feel – look to the Destek V5 VR Headset for that.
Ultra low cost
Styled on the Google Cardboard
Broad phone compatibility
Includes headband
Input button
Made of cardboard
Questionable durability
While $30 to $50 is a reasonable price to pay for a decent VR experience, it's possible to drop even lower thanks to copycat headsets that came out of the woodwork in the wake of the Google Cardboard. The Topmaxions Cardboard V2 is one of the best among them and only costs $6.
Much like the Google Cardboard, it's a cardboard shell designed to house a smartphone, latched thanks to a strong strip of velcro and a pad with 24 suction cups to keep it firmly in place. Unlike Google's headset, the Topmaxions Cardboard V2 features a strip of sponge padding on the nose pad, fore pad, and headband for hands-free use. The headband can't be adjusted but is made of flexible material, suitable for most head sizes.
Overall, these features work well enough to add a bit of comfort to the VR experience, something we wouldn't expect at such a low cost. The Topmaxions Cardboard V2 can accommodate any phone measuring 3.5-inches to 6-inches, including models from Apple, Samsung, and the like.
The headset includes a pair of 37 mm biconvex lenses. There are no adjustment features, but the headset does feature a magnetic input button to interact with apps and games on the fly without taking the phone out of the casing.
It's hard to avoid the fact that the Topmaxions Cardboard V2 is made of cardboard, albeit AAA-grade corrugated cardboard, and as such, durability isn't exactly built into the headset. It may last a few months and possibly longer with proper care, but it's designed to sample VR rather than be a permanent, long-term tool. For us, the Topmaxions Cardboard V2 is an ultra-low-cost way to try out VR to see if it's for you before jumping to a more robust and expensive headset.
Our top pick is the Destek V5 VR Headset for offering users an affordable entry point into VR without sacrificing much in the way of comfort and design. It's compatible with a good range of phones, features plenty of adjustments to find the right fit, and comes packed with a useful controller, to boot.
A close runner-up, the Merge AR/VR Headset is another strong option for those looking to experience VR without spending a fortune. It's comfortable, easy to use, adjustable, and grants access to a broad range of free apps via the Merge Miniverse. Some misgivings surrounding durability are easily effaced by this headset's surprisingly immersive VR experience, not least if you use it for educational purposes.
Even lower down the pricing scale, we have the BNEXT VR Headset. It's a snug-fitting headset with ample padding and adjustments that features everything required to transform your phone into a VR-ready device.
Finally, for those on a very tight budget that simply want to experience VR for the first time, the Topmaxions Cardboard V2 is an ideal low-cost, throwaway headset that costs a mere $6. The cardboard design doesn't scream durability, but decent padding, broad phone compatibility, and an useful input button make it a top 'testing the waters' option.
Don't hesitate to get in touch via the comments section below should you have any questions, concerns, or even phone VR headset recommendations of your own to share.

Another year, another issue of Ruffled Feather. For those of you who don't know me, let me introduce myself. My name is The Raven Quill, your goto for all good, bad and the darn right ugly. If you are having issues and have nowhere to go, I am here to give you the best advice I can personally give! So submit that each week and you will find your questions answered!
The best thing you can do is be patient. It's a hard thing to watch another you like, like someone else. You will always try and compare yourself to them and what is wrong with you. In the end, you will realize you would end up unhappy if you tried to make something work now before he realizes you would be everything he wanted to begin with. You are your own person, and he and her their own. Don't change for anyone and the right person and moment will come along for you.
Finding yourself in love with another before you even ended things with her is downright rotten to your current boa. It's not fair to either of them considering if the second girl found out, that will leave a bad taste in her mouth thinking you would do just the same to her as you easily did to her. You should have admitted the truth to yourself a long time ago and you are only making it worse dragging it out.

This small public garden has grass, perimeter shrubs, seating and trees.
Hampstead Garden Suburb was conceived by Dame Henrietta Barnett in 1903 when the area, hitherto rural, became ripe for development. Her aim was to provide a garden suburb for the working classes, with some larger houses as well as amenities. The overall layout was the work of Raymond Unwin. The street pattern followed the land contours, with curving and straight roads to create interesting viewpoints, closes and squares, street trees, a pedestrian network of footpaths and a variety of green spaces. The first phase was largely built between 1907-1912.

Q: Comparing 2 objects' values with nested for loops

var has = {
    name: 'dog',
    surname: 'cat',
    skills : {
        football: true,
        basketball: true,
        volleyball: true
    }
}

var pas = {
    name: 'dolphin',
    surname: 'cat',
    skills : {
        football: false,
        basketball: false,
        volleyball: true
    }
}

function compare(Obj1, Obj2) {
    var values1 = Object.values(Obj1);
    var values2 = Object.values(Obj2);
    var equivalent = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < values1.length; i++) {
        for (var j = 0; j < values2.length; j++) {
            if (i === j ) {
                equivalent.push(values1[i]);
            }
        }
    }
    console.log(equivalent, values1, values2);

}

compare(has, pas);

I am trying to compare 2 objects by their values using nested for loops. It might not be the best method to use for such a simple comparison but as a new starter, I really would like to know why it's not working properly.

A: There are some mistakes in your code. First of all, you are comparing i with j, when you actually want to compare some values.
I'd solve the problem by taking the keys of the object and iterating among them. If both the objects have those keys AND the values are the same, I'll add them to the equivalent array.

var has = {
  name: 'dog',
  surname: 'cat',
  skills: {
    football: true,
  }
}

var pas = {
  name: 'dolphin',
  surname: 'cat',
  skills: {
    football: true,
  }
}

function compare(Obj1, Obj2) {
  var values1 = Object.values(Obj1);
  var values2 = Object.values(Obj2);
  var equivalent = [];

  var keys = Object.keys(Obj1);
  keys.forEach(k => {
    if (Obj1.hasOwnProperty(k) && Obj2.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
      if (Obj1[k] === Obj2[k]) {
        equivalent.push(Obj1[k]);
      }
    }
  });

  console.log(equivalent);
}

compare(has, pas);

However, this won't work for nested objects, as in your case. Why? Because even if the nested objects (skills in your case) have the same values, they are different objects, different references, so the comparison will fail. See how objects comparison in js works here or here.
In this case, a general recursive solution may work like the one below:

var has = {
  name: 'dog',
  surname: 'cat',
  skills: {
    football: true,
    basketball: true,
    volleyball: true
  }
}

var pas = {
  name: 'dolphin',
  surname: 'cat',
  skills: {
    football: true,
    basketball: false,
    volleyball: false
  }
}

function compare(Obj1, Obj2) {
  var values1 = Object.values(Obj1);
  var values2 = Object.values(Obj2);
  var equivalent = [];

  var keys = Object.keys(Obj1);
  keys.forEach(k => {
    if (Obj1.hasOwnProperty(k) && Obj2.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
      if (typeof Obj1[k] === 'object') {
        let recursiveAnswer = compare(Obj1[k], Obj2[k]);
        equivalent.push(...recursiveAnswer);
      } else if (Obj1[k] === Obj2[k]) {
        equivalent.push(Obj1[k]);
      }
    }
  });

  return equivalent;
}

let equiv = compare(has, pas);
console.log(equiv);

Here, if I encounter a value that is also an object, I call the function again. The partial answer will be pushed once the recursive call is done. You'll see that the final answer will also contain the true value here, value that is from the football field, since they are equal (in my example). Having true/false values in the array among the cat string may be confusing, so you can actually add the key name instead of the value for the bool fields.
You could modify the if and the push like this:
if (typeof Obj1[k] === 'boolean') {
    equivalent.push(`(${k}, ${Obj1[k]})`);
} else {
    equivalent.push(Obj1[k]);
}

This will produce the following output:
[
  "cat",
  "(football, true)"
]

Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers!

CreativeRHINO Launches *asterICT
Posted on March 1, 2012 by CreativeRHINO
Interactive new media company CreativeRHINO is excited to announce a new series of visiting artists entitled *asterICT
This series seeks to break down barriers between contemporary artists and their audience by inviting emerging artists from a broad range of disciplines to Wichita for performances, exhibitions, workshops, and casual conversation. *asterICT brings contemporary arts to the community on an intimate level so that artists and audiences can engage with each other and thus mutually benefit from a shared artistic dialog.
CreativeRHINO is pleased to debut *asterICT with the first group of visiting artists: vocalist Jennifer Beattie and pianist Adam Marks. Their performance will be April 6th in conjunction with a new exhibition by artist Kate Van Steenhuyse at the NakedCity Gallery. More details to come.
Ms. Beattie is hailed by Opera News for her "exuberant voice and personality." She is a versatile mezzo-soprano and dynamic performer in styles ranging from opera to chamber music and musical theater to cabaret. This season she joins the Opera Company of Philadelphia as well as being a soloist in the Mozart Requiem with the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia.
Mr. Marks is praised by The New York Times as an "excellent pianist" with "titanic force." In 2008, he made history as the first American laureate of the French Concours International de Piano d'Orleans for music composed since 1900. He currently serves as the Director of Artistic Programming for Fifth House Ensemble and actively pursues collaborative endeavors as an essential part of his career.
Ryan Gates stated, "After two years of immersing ourselves in the Wichita art scene, we are extremely excited to begin contributing to it through the launch of *asterICT, a program aimed at introducing Wichita to emerging artists and non-traditional art forms, while introducing those artists to Wichita as well."
Kathryn Van Steenhuyse says, "One of the exciting things about being in Wichita is the accessible and supportive community. Wichita is just a step off the national radar in terms of having a contemporary art buzz—we have just enough of a scene and established institutions to create a foundation, but not so many that there isn't space for new activity. This means there is space for freedom and opportunity." Van Steenhuyse, who is an accomplished painter, went on to say, "*asterICT aims to nourish that energy by bringing new artists to town that really engages with the public casually as well as professionally. I see it as an incredible opportunity for mutual creative and intellectual inspiration."

Q: ie gradient + background-image Is there any way to make ie (7,8) display a gradient AND a background-image on the same div?
The only way I got it working (but only almost) was by using two filters, one for the gradient and one using the AlphaImageLoader - but of course, then you can't position the image.
Declaring a background-image and gradient filter doesn't work, because it simply won't render the image - only the gradient.
Is there any (preferably non-js) solution to this?
If not, I'll have to resort to using a background image for the gradient as well, which isn't quite as nice but won't make much of a difference either...

A: I would say that adding a little unnecessary markup is the lesser of the evils here. Either that, or let IE-users live without the gradient.
Oftentimes getting your design to work is a trade-off between semantics, performance, standards and pixel perfection. Accepting that fact was hard for me, but it's made me a better front-end developer - I can work faster, and I can make decisions about what metric is important in a given case.

The main page, also called Gold Box Deals, provides links to all the sale items and tabs to all the discount pages. Scrolling down reveals a few examples of sale items offered on each page. At the bottom, you will find links to additional businesses which are owned by or partner with Amazon; such as 6PM for clothes and shoes and MYHABIT for housewares.

In June 2017, Amazon announced that it would acquire Whole Foods, a high-end supermarket chain with over 400 stores, for $13.4 billion.[14][41] The acquisition was seen by media experts as a move to strengthen its physical holdings and challenge Walmart's supremacy as a brick and mortar retailer. This sentiment was heightened by the fact that the announcement coincided with Walmart's purchase of men's apparel company Bonobos.[42] On August 23, 2017, Whole Foods shareholders, as well as the Federal Trade Commission, approved the deal.[43][44]
In 1999, Amazon first attempted to enter the publishing business by buying a defunct imprint, "Weathervane", and publishing some books "selected with no apparent thought", according to The New Yorker. The imprint quickly vanished again, and as of 2014 Amazon representatives said that they had never heard of it.[37] Also in 1999, Time magazine named Bezos the Person of the Year when it recognized the company's success in popularizing online shopping.[38]

In September 2017, Amazon announced plans to locate a second headquarters in a metropolitan area with at least a million people.[45] Cities needed to submit their presentations by October 19, 2017 for the project called HQ2.[46] The $5 billion second headquarters, starting with 500,000 square feet and eventually expanding to as much as 8 million square feet, may have as many as 50,000 employees.[47] In 2017, Amazon announced it would build a new downtown Seattle building with space for Mary's Place, a local charity in 2020.[48]
Premium TV Deals - Amazon was the winner when it came to the cheapest possible TV deals, but Best Buy offered higher quality TV deals. Last year, it sold a Sharp 50-inch 4K TV for $179.99 (review deal) and a 55-inch Toshiba 4K UHD TV for $279.99 (review deal). Factoring in price and quality, those were arguably the top two TV deals of the year. Unfortunately, both TVs were available in-store only, but it was well worth the trip if getting the best deal was your goal.
While Amazon has publicly opposed secret government surveillance, as revealed by Freedom of Information Act requests it has supplied facial recognition support to law enforcement in the form of the "Rekognition" technology and consulting services. Initial testing included the city of Orlando, Florida, and Washington County, Oregon. Amazon offered to connect Washington County with other Amazon government customers interested in Rekognition and a body camera manufacturer. These ventures are opposed by a coalition of civil rights groups with concern that they could lead to expansion of surveillance and be prone to abuse. Specifically, it could automate the identification and tracking of anyone, particularly in the context of potential police body camera integration.[204][205][206] Due to the backlash, the city of Orlando has publicly stated it will no longer use the technology.[207]

Pinguinus alfrednewtoni es una especie extinta de ave caradriforme de la familia Alcidae que vivió durante el Pleistoceno inferior y conocido por unas huesos encontrados en Formación Yorktown de la mina Creek Lee, en Carolina del Norte. Recibe su nombre en honor al ornitólogo inglés Alfred Newton.

Vivió en las costas occidentales del océano Atlántico mientras que su pariente, el alca gigante (Pinguinus impennis) era propio de la parte oriental. Sin embargo, y tras su desaparición, este último ocupó su nicho ecológico.

Travelers heading into John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York may want to plan for a bit of a delay. A runway closure is set to affect travel plans for up to eight months.
That's right. The airport is temporarily shutting down one of their runways for much-needed repairs and refurbishment, which include widening the runway and adding new lights and signage. Unfortunately, due to the tremendous traffic the airport sees every day, this means that planes may be spending a lot more time sitting on the tarmac.
Though it might not seem like it from a passenger's perspective, planes actually go through a complicated system of checks and taxiing before they're able to take their position on the runway to take off. Eliminating one runway is sort of like shutting down an elevator – it means longer lines at the remaining lifts.
The Federal Aviation Administration and Port Authority estimate that the closure will likely be in effect until November 2019. In the meantime, officials are working on strategies to minimize delays and disruptions at the airport.

Serena commits to Bank of the West Classic
Two-time Series champion Serena Williams is an astounding 341-47 on hard courts in her career.
© Matthew Stockman/Getty Images
Serena Williams is returning the Bank of the West Classic, committing to play in the Stanford, Calif., tournament in 2014. She joins fellow Top 20 players Dominika Cibulkova and Ana Ivanovic in the field for the first women's event of this year's Emirates Airline US Open Series.
Cibulkova is the Bank of the West Classic defending champion and the 2014 Australian Open runner-up, and Ivanovic is a former world No. 1 and the 2008 French Open titlist.
Williams won the title in Stanford in 2011 on her way to her first overall Series championship – she also won the overall crown in 2013 – and repeated in 2012, meaning she carries a nine-match winning streak into this year's event.


Here's everything you need to know about 4/20, New Jersey marijuana legalization and the stranger-than-fiction story behind why three numbers became synonymous with weed.
New Jersey has finally taken a step forward in the long, arduous journey to legalizing recreational cannabis by advancing a new piece of legislation. The proceedings were "testy" and included some "back-room wrangling," according to the Associated Press. But questions remain if the measure will, ultimately, pass and reach Gov. Phil Murphy's desk.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced on Tuesday that he had reached an agreement with legislative leaders to legalize recreational marijuana for adults. Lawmakers expect to vote on the deal on March 25 and Murphy could sign the legalization bill later that week. Murphy said in a press release that after nearly a year of negotiation, he and lawmakers including Senate President Steve Sweeney, Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, Senator Nicholas Scutari, and Assemblywoman Annette Quijano had agreed on a regulatory and tax structure for an adult-use cannabis industry.
Since Gov. Phil Murphy took office more than a year ago, he's made expanding access to medical marijuana a priority. But his administration's latest efforts to grow the program could be in for a court battle that could last months, or longer.
In December, the state Department of Health announced the six companies it had selected to open medical marijuana dispensaries in the state, furthering an expansion of the state's constrained medical marijuana program that had been started by Murphy earlier in 2018.

Q: Is it possible to restore a core Joomla Component I accidentally uninstalled the newsfeed component from my Joomla install.  This apparently breaks the database integrity a little and I want to reinstall.  I was able to do that at least partially using the "Discover" feature, but there are still a few issues.  I get this with a database check:
Table 'sds_newsfeeds' should not have column 'filename'. (From file 3.0.0.sql.)
Table 'sds_newsfeeds' does not have column 'description'. (From file 3.0.0.sql.)
Table 'sds_newsfeeds' does not have column 'version'. (From file 3.0.0.sql.)
Table 'sds_newsfeeds' does not have column 'hits'. (From file 3.0.0.sql.)
Table 'sds_newsfeeds' does not have column 'images'. (From file 3.0.0.sql.)
The component name is com_newsfeed, and the localizations are not set:
e.g.:  COM_NEWSFEEDS_FIELD_SHOW_FEED_IMAGE_LABEL is not defined.
Just wondering if I simply need to edit something minor to get it to work again.
Probably could just disable it for that site since I am not using it, and maybe when I update to a newer version of Joomla it'll fix itself ?

A: If you're not using it then don't bother - it'll take you an hour or so to resolve this completely and you won't even use it. I suggest your re-uninstall it again.
A Joomla update will most likely not get it back (just so you know).
I personally think it's a good idea to uninstall extensions (even core extensions) that are not being used.
