Brick Gothic
Discover 800 years of history!
Welcome to the European Route of Brick Gothic. Hundreds of fascinating brick buildings, embedded within an idyllic landscape and picturesque old towns, open up fascinating insights into an architectural style that is unique to northern Europe: Brick Gothic. 800 years ago, wealth and power were concentrated along the Hanseatic League trading route. To this very day, architectural masterpieces form a tangible link to this period: the elegant town halls, mighty churches, countless town houses and town fortifications within the towns and cities of the Baltic Sea coast. Join us as we discover these pearls of the Middle Ages in Denmark, Germany and Poland!
How to recognise Brick Gothic
A typical feature of this architectural style is, of course, the brick itself. Often bright red, it can also appear yellow, green or black-glazed. Brick Gothic buildings may also be painted white or even red, and the joints or pointing traced in white to create the illusion of a brick wall that is as seamless and flat as possible. An easy way to identify Gothic is to check whether the building's windows or doorways have pointed arches, a feature visible, for example, on Paris's famous Notre Dame cathedral or Cologne cathedral. These tapered windows and doorways are not only found on Gothic churches, but also on town halls or city towers.
Other characteristic features of Gothic
Another element of Gothic can be found inside the building: the arched-ceiling style known as the ribbed vault that features crossed-ribs, a constituent part of the vault and peculiar to the Gothic style. In later times, ribs were even used to form entire nets that extended across the vaulted ceiling. Gothic churches often contain arched, or "flying" buttresses. Placed outside the wall and connected to it by several arches, these piers were designed to relieve the load on the wall. Flying buttresses were required because in the Gothic period the aim was to maximise window space, consequently there was a need to transmit the weight load from the ceiling elsewhere, i.e. to piers. This resulted in the impression of a delicate wall and large open space inside the building.
What is Gothic Revival?
As far as merchant houses, towers and castles are concerned, it is often difficult for the layman to tell whether the building is Brick Gothic, Renaissance or Baroque. Gothic merchants' houses often have so-called stepped gables and pointed arched windows, but to be certain of a building's style, a professional opinion is often required. The same also applies when asking whether a particular Gothic style dates back to the Middle Ages or to the early 20th century. At the turn of the 20th century many architectural styles, including Gothic, were being rediscovered. The style of these new buildings was given the name Gothic Revival, known in German as Neugotik.

Bryan Elsley (born 17 May 1961 in Dalkeith, Midlothian) is a Scottish television writer, best known for the co-creation of E4 teen drama Skins with his son, Jamie Brittain. Other television dramas include Rose and Maloney, The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star, The Crow Road, Dates, and Kiss Me First.

Early life and education
Elsley attended Dalkeith High School before going on to read English and History at the Alcuin College, University of York in York, England, where he graduated with a B.A. in 1982.

Career
While a student at the University of York, Elsley met and collaborated with Harry Enfield. They created a comedy duo, "Dusty and Dick", and performed a sell out show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Elsley took up a career in theatrical writing, and then pursued television writing after parting from Enfield. For three years, Elsley was artistic director of Pocket Theatre Cumbria, which was based at Kendal's Brewery Arts Centre. At that time he was also writing episodes for TV series Casualty and London's Burning. These, and his short film Govan Ghost Story (1989), opened up other opportunities for other television writing.  Elsley's big break came when he was commissioned by the BBC to adapt Iain Banks's novel The Crow Road for television.

On 18 March 2010, Elsey announced via the Skins blog that the final episode of series 4 was his last as a writer for the UK series, although Elsley did return to write the opening episode for series 6 in 2012. He executive produced Skins U.S. in 2011.

Personal life
Elsley has five children and currently lives in Kentish Town, London.

Some churchy stuff
Last month I was extended a call to work in the primary of our new ward here. I almost burst out laughing the minute I heard what it was. I had been so nervous about it because when I got the phone call the counselor of the bishopric asked to meet with both Andrew and me, which could only mean that it was a presidency calling. Andrew and I spent the whole week hypothesizing about what it could be. Finally, I got to meet with the counselor and find out what it was.
"We'd like to ask you to be the primary secretary," he said. "Is that a calling you feel you can fulfill?"
"Yes," I said, trying my hardest to remain my composure and not snicker out loud. "Yes, I do."
That settled it. I shook hands with the counselor and he called Andrew in (to ask if Andrew would be willing to support me in my calling).
"So, what is it?" Andrew asked when he came in.
"Don't laugh," I warned him before spilling the beans. "Primary secretary."
"That's...that's great," he said, pulling the corners of his mouth down into the most serious-looking ridiculous grin he could muster.
You might be wondering why this is so funny. Let me spell it out for you:
Andrew and I have been married for seven years and we've each had a number of callings in those seven years. Mine, however, have been a little more homogenous than Andrew's have.
In Stonewood I was the ward newsletter and ward bulletin person for the four months we lived in the Orchard Creek condo. I kept that calling while we lived in Amman, Jordan (another four months). Upon returning to our Stonewood ward, I was put into the Stake Primary Presidency as secretary, where I served until we moved to Egypt (so, about two years). Upon arriving in Egypt, I was called as the primary secretary of the Cario, Egypt Branch (a calling I kept for about two years). We returned to Utah once again, this time in the Northridge 2nd ward, where we both were put into primary where we served as Sunbeam teachers (6 months) and then Valiant 10 teachers (1 year) and then Sunbeam teachers again (for another 6 months).
Being a primary teacher was fine for me but I have an inkling of a feeling that I was supposed to be the primary secretary while we were in Orem as well. Why? Only because they went through a good handful of secretaries in the two years we were there. Why couldn't they find one to stick around? Because it was supposed to be me, that's why.
That's my theory, anyway, because here I am, Primary Secretary once again.
And it's great. I'm not even in charge of birthdays this time because one of the counselors wants to do it (all the more power to her because (me) + (remembering special occasions) = (disaster)).
Completely unrelated to that, here's the outfit Rachel wore to church last week (the doll stayed home):
Benjamin (who is doing much better today) was so sick last week that we thought about skipping church. However, it being only the second week in January I felt too needed. The beginning of the year craziness was too crazy. But Benjamin was so sick!
We decided that I could stay home with Benjamin during sacrament meeting and then Andrew could drive home to be with him for the last two hours. But then he wouldn't even be able to stay for all of sacrament meeting because the time I really needed to be at church was the end of the first hour/beginning of the second hour.
So I decided that Benjamin and I would go to sacrament meeting with the family and then I'd do my primary stuff and then Andrew would drive us home, drive back to church and finish out the block of meetings, pick the girls up from their classes, and come home.
It was a solid plan. Until Andrew shut the front door.
"You don't happen to have a housekey, do you?" he asked me.
"Nope," I said. "I left my purse on my desk and grabbed...all this other stuff."
"Oh. Well, I don't have a housekey, either."
Our neighbours have a housekey. But they weren't home because they also go to church on Sunday. We're not entirely sure of their meeting schedule but we knew that we shouldn't bother them with a call (or dropping in on their meetings) because the husband is the pastor and so he and his wife are always very busy on Sundays.
That's how Benjamin and I ended up going to church for the full three hour block last Sunday. He did fine, though I think we got a few crusty looks from people about all the coughing he was doing (fortunately, babies don't go around shaking hands and touching doorknobs so I think his germs were a little less likely to spread...maybe).
One of our friends invited us to come to their house if we weren't able to get a key to our house (assuring me that they had "immune systems of steel") but fortunately our neighbours were home when we got home from church and they hadn't left yet for their second meeting of the day so we were able to get our key and get in our house.
Completely unrelated to that, I got to help clean the temple on January 7th. I was excited to get to do it because we haven't actually worked out a system for going to the temple regularly yet. It's about an hour away. Sessions are about 2.5 hours long. Coming home takes another hour. That's five hours I'd have to be away from my baby—my baby who still nurses on demand (and demands quite frequently).
Andrew hadn't started school yet, though, so he could watch the kids while I cleaned and Benjamin would be "right there" the whole time (I think I have more separation anxiety than he does, truthfully).
So in the morning, bright and early (and as soon as our sweet babysitter arrived to watch Rachel until her school bus came), Andrew, Miriam, Benjamin, and I struck out for the temple.
They dropped me off, and I cleaned the temple with only the temple president and the stake president and the man-in-charge-of-cleaning to help. It's a mini-temple (obviously) so even with just the four of us it didn't take long. And it was wonderful and peaceful to be inside, though a little strange to be cleaning something already so clean.
Meanwhile, Andrew had a breakfast date with the munchkins:
Armed with only a spoon and a bowlful of rice cereal (and a diaper, which he didn't use because changing Benjamin's diaper is the last thing Andrew ever to cross Andrew's mind (bless his heart (and bless Benjamin's soggy bottom)) Andrew managed to keep the Benja-boy happy for the whole time we were apart.
Then Andrew and Miriam went on a walk around the temple while I fed Benjamin:
And then all four of us went for a walk around the temple before going home.
It was a happy day for everyone.

The fried eggplant filled with soft warmed goat cheese and Micro Basil makes delicious partners to any spring or summer entrée. Try them alongside with steam rice or mashed potatoes.
Cut the eggplant into long 3slices pour the sea salt on top of eggplants before frying. Pre heat the olive oil in the medium high heat in the pan. Add the eggplant slices and fry until will become golden from both sides. When the eggplants are ready let them to soak the oil on the piece of paper towel for 3-6min. spread the goat cheese on the fried eggplants and make 3 rolls. Put on the plate and serve with micro basil mix on side.
Pre wash the Micro Basil let it drain for 5min. Combine green onions, sea salt, balsamic vinegar, rosemary olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Stir properly and serve with roasted eggplants on side.


April is the best month in sports. A college basketball champion is crowned. The pro hockey and basketball regular-season games take on more importance. And hope begins anew for the 30 Major League Baseball teams. After the two-game Opening Series between the Mariners and Athletics in Tokyo that begins tomorrow, the rest of the 2012 season starts on Wednesday, April 4 with the Miami Marlins hosting the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals.
In addition, several teams are sponsoring Celiac Awareness Nights this season. They include the New York Mets (May 4), Arizona Diamondbacks (May 25), Colorado Rockies (June 9), Seattle Mariners (June 15), Philadelphia Phillies (July 20), San Diego Padres (July 21) and Los Angeles Dodgers (August 25).
Excellent post, I just shared it! Thanks for taking the time to research this.
Wow, what an undertaking! And what a great list for gluten-free baseball fans.
The Sacramento RiverCats can make you a bunless burger, chips and a soda - because the manager there was willing to listen and learn!
What a great list. As a so cal baseball fan I am ashamed of the Dodgers and Angels for their paltry offerings. What's a baseball game without a hot dog (ok, Dodger dog)?
The Washington Nationals also sell Redbridge beer at the gluten-free cart and both of the gf pretzel locations.
Fort Wayne Tincaps have GF buns for hot dogs, BBQ chicken, hummus, chips, and beer!! The Komets had GF beer and other items.
This post just made my day!!!
I had a really hard time finding bunless brats/hot dogs at Miller Park, it seems they almost always 'bun' them in mass quantities first. If you go, try to find the places where you actually see them cooking the brats, and they can pull one off for you before they stick it in a bun. Couldn't find any of the chicken dishes, and their literature doesn't help. Thank God they serve Gf beer!!!
I had the experience of trying out the gluten free hot dog and beer last summer at Citizen's Park in Philadelphia. Sounds good to hear that other items are becoming available. It would be great if they could sell gluten free soft pretzels, too!
Thanks for the list! Makes this Pirates baseball fan very happy (now we need to work on football and hockey, although Carolina Hurricanes at RBC Center has gluten-free options).
This is great! G-free hot dogs made a huge difference at Fenway Park last summer. I was so excited to find them (with a bun)! I'm referencing your article for a g-free blog, this is such a complete list!


Did you know that if you ever happen to be in London and are tempted to do a London Duck Tour (amphibious craft)...you would be best to think twice?
You're banned for being cheeky.
Sorry did you say No Shamen...The Shamen were a Scottish psychedelic-influenced electronic dance music band from Aberdeen, Scotland.
TPBM thinks that Ebeneeeeeeezer's Good.
Oh I would...particularly a black one.

In some ways it's shame that Portsmouth FC aren't called Portsmouth Pirates...mind you judging by their finances over the last few years they'd be a rubbish bunch of plunderers.

Q: Problems with mms capturing in android using contentResolver I am creating an app that will detect when a mms message is sent or received and will capture the contents. I am doing this by using a contentResolver to "content://mms-sms/conversations". When this is triggered, I iterate through the conversations to find the last one (just sent). Because "content://mms-sms/conversations" did not work when setting my cursor for all devices, I am using "content://mms-sms/conversations?simple=true". I iterate, find the first conversation in the list (the list is ordered by date desc), then pass the _id to get the actual contents, using  contentResolver.query(uri, Uri.Parse("content://mms/part", selectionPart, null, null); However, when I try to iterate using this cursor, no records are found for the conversation id. I am simply trying to detect when an mms is send or received and get the info on it. I've seen numerous topics on this but nothing has seemed to resolve the issue. Any ideas? Thanks

        }

    }

    try {
        ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, stream);
        bitmap.recycle();
        byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
        stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        imageString = new String(Base64.encodeBase64(byteArray));
    }

    catch (Exception ex) {
    }

    return new MMSLog(getAddressNumber(mmsID, sent), body, imageString,
            type, sent);
}

A: Don't quote me on this but I think the _id that is returned is the thread_id from the conversations query.  What I have had success with (for MMS) is the transaction id which should be available as tr_id.
There may be other solutions but given the tr_id you can then query content://mms/
with that tr_id, extract the part id (_id) and then query "content://mms/part" + _id.
In your query of the mms part table keep in mind that there maybe multiple records
returned so you need to step through the entire contents of the part cursor checking
the types for the record you want.

Already for the twentieth time, the Small Carpathian Center of Enlighthment in Modra opened this unique exhibition in the magnificent premises of the Zoya Museum in ELESKO Wine Park. It was a joint exhibition of 69 artists of our region and their guests.
A wide variety of techniques, forms, formats and different art genres have once again found their supporters.
The uniqueness of this exhibition lies in the joint effort and creativity of the exhibiting authors, the non-traditional connection of professional and non-professional artists, and the fact that they have been exhibiting together for so many years.
Traditionally under the curatorial act of Mgr. Pavel Šimu- Jurička.


Keeping a diary of your symptoms can help you diagnose your health issues quickly, it will help you determine triggers and provide a log as a reference. TrackMyStack is the perfect tool to track your health symptoms easily. If you want to know how to use the tracking features excluding journaling click here. If you would like to learn about why it is important to track your symptoms keep reading.
The symptom logs can be printed and used by your doctor to treat your condition more accurately by having quantifiable data. A corollary to that is that it is vital to track your symptoms as you experience them during the course of your day.
TrackMyStack can be accessed via your mobile device or desktop at any time with access to the Internet, so you have no reason to carry around a diary at all times. This removes the risk of losing your diary or remembering to take it everywhere you go, as your phone will most likely always be with you.
Let's take the case of Jessica.
Jessica is a 35-year-old who has a bipolar disorder and migraine headaches. She constantly goes in for checkups and reports daily headaches that last for days at a time.
She says she has also "noticed" an increase in symptoms such as lethargy, and anxiety. At the same time, Jessica has been changing and trying different medications, supplements and eats out during lunchtime at different places all the time.
With these many variables in place stating "a bit", "every now and then" is not enough, the more precise the data, the easier it will be to diagnose her problems.
When this information is presented to a doctor, the information sounds all too vague, is confusing and can be challenging to explain correctly. To your doctor making sense of your information is not only time consuming (as you are given 15 minutes per visit) but your information will contain many errors and biases (such as recall bias).
The solution for Jessica is to maintain a simple Symptoms Diary also known as patient logs. TrackMyStack has the tools available for anyone to track symptoms and daily activities (ODL's) in a quick, organized manner that will help with your diagnosis.
Time Savings – Your physician can quickly scan through your online diary/print out in seconds accurately, as opposed to you verbally explaining everything.
Cost Savings – With more accurate information, you are less likely to go through radiographic testing or other unnecessary lab tests.
Identification of Triggers – Looking at the graph can easily show clear patterns of symptoms occurring linked to your activity for that day, it is easy for physicians or yourself to discover triggers.
Graphs & Reports – Linked to #1 and #3 + they can be shared and gives you a quick overview of your health.
Patient Engagement & Empowerment – Once you start tracking your health actively, you are likely to start making the necessary changes to get better. You will lessen your cognitive burden and may notice therapeutic benefit as well. Remember, what get's measured, get's improved.
Personal Health Record – Record your activity and see how you are doing compared to others just like you on TrackMyStack. Keep your data with you at all times, and be in control of your health by maintaining your own records.
Use the Diary to Journal Everything!
The most common types of health diaries do one thing only; TrackMyStack is the only platform that helps you manage all or any of your symptoms in a single location. To begin click here.
This includes a sleep diary (to determine your, you guessed it, sleep patterns), mood diary which we write about here, a voiding diary (to measure fluid input/output), general symptoms (any symptoms such as IBS, fatigue, gas, cardiac symptoms, neurological), exercise diary, headache diary (helps with adjusting your abortive or prophylactic treatment), and a food diary (for lifestyle modification). Along with symptoms, you can also use TrackMyStack to track your chronic conditions as well.
#1 Non-adherence: You may feel too lazy or tired to write daily, TrackMyStack allows you to write as frequently as you want with as much information as you'd like. Obviously, however, the more frequent you write and with more detail, the better your results will be. We organize and display your diary in a structured order, so you don't have to worry about being "neat" or following certain protocols or even remembering if you have written down all the things needed to make the entry useful.
#2 Irrelevant Apps: If you are a patient, you need an app that can record your vitals, ODL's, and symptoms; however, many food or calorie trackers or fitness apps are not right for you as they are not meant to be used as you may need to. Wellness apps are a different category than fitness apps, using the right tool for the job is key.
The risk-reward ratio for using a symptom diary is heavily skewed, TrackMyStack is a simple, effective clinical tool that augments the diagnosis as part of outpatient care without any risk to you. You are free to share as much or as little as you right, TrackMyStack also does not diagnose or recommend any treatments. It is a tool used to track your activity that can then be shared with your primary care provider to assist them and yourself determine ways to improve your health.
The cost of starting your stack and journaling are minimal, you need 20 seconds to sign up, and about a minute each time you experience a symptom or "flare up". TrackMyStack can be upgraded to Pro if you need to use advanced features or to generally support the development of our platform. We have over 5,000 members that are actively monitoring their health, privately and openly.
Your data can help other people solve the same problems as you and vice versa, where you can use other people's experiences to augment your own diagnosis.
When logging your symptoms in an organized manner you are committing to being a healthier you and are demonstrating that you are proactive in taking control of your health, your family will thank you for it, so will your physician, and not to mention your body.

Intermittent energy restriction (IER) involves intermittently limiting energy intake levels. There are many ways to restrict calories, one method involves limiting your calorie intake to about 500 kcal a day for days to three days a week. In another method, you must consume all your daily food within an 8 hour window every day, the last way is to simply fast for 24 to 36 hours without any food. In this article, I will discuss if there is any evidence that states cognition is improved via fasting and any other interesting thing I found while doing my research that you may like as well. Let's start by getting to know some terminology so the article makes much more sense for you.
Intermittent fasting (IF) may sound technical. But all it really means is going for extended periods without eating anything if possible. Throughout the world tribes experience one form of IF or another. Among them, many show no signs of age-associated problems like diabetes, cancer, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, or hypertension.
Caloric restriction (CR), researchers define caloric restriction as reducing food intake while avoiding malnutrition. In animal studies, this usually means consuming 30-40% fewer calories than the standard daily requirement. That's the equivalent of limiting daily intake to around 1,200 calories for women and 1,400 for men. CR is very different for men and women, which I explain more about below. CR has prolonged life in dogs, rodents, worms, flies, yeast, bugs, and non-human primates by 30 to 50% (evidence below).
Alternate Day Fasts Alternative day fasting (ADF), as the name implies you do this every other day or Every other day Fast (EODF).
24 Hour Fasts, done few times a week to achieve the same results, may be more difficult for beginners.
16/8 Fasts (Time Restricted Feeding) is what we will be discussing when referring to IF below.
The best way to begin fasting is by giving your body 12 to 16 hours between dinner and breakfast every single day. This allows 4 hours to complete digestion and 8 hours for the liver to complete its detoxification cycle.
That mean's give yourself eight hours or more of 'feeding time'. The rest is a no 'feed zone'.
Ketosis is characterized by raised levels of ketone bodies in the blood/body associated with fat metabolism. Meaning you are obtaining your energy from fat rather then glycogen (think carbs). The brain prefers to run on fat (via ketone bodies) , these energy molecules become fuel for our brains after being converted from fat by the liver. This can only happen when insulin your bloodstream is low, the lower it is the higher the ketone production. You can be in different levels of Ketosis but scientifically if you are at 1.5 – 3 mmol/L it is considered the optimal state but from a nutritional standpoint 0.5-1.5mmol/L is considered good enough.
In humans, excessive energy intake is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers and is a major cause of disability and death in industrialized countries. On the other hand, the influence of meal frequency on human health and longevity is unclear.
Both caloric (energy) restriction (CR) and reduced meal frequency/intermittent fasting can suppress the development of various diseases and can increase life span in rodents by mechanisms involving reduced oxidative damage and increased stress resistance.
Many of the beneficial effects of CR and fasting appear to be mediated by the nervous system. For example, intermittent fasting results in increased production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which increases the resistance of neurons in the brain to dysfunction and degeneration in animal models of neurodegenerative disorders; BDNF signaling may also mediate beneficial effects of intermittent fasting on glucose regulation and cardiovascular function.
So basically, there is a increase in BDNF, but since the study was not conducted on humans, we can't definitively state that it can increase human lifespan or overall health. BDNF is a protein that interacts with neurons in the hippocampus, responsible for regulating memory and learning. It helps neurons survive and grow new neurons via neurogenesis and increases the development of synapses between neurons. Sounds like something those looking to keep their brain healthy and functioning optimally may want. Being low on this stuff has been linked to many diseases such as Alzheimer's. BDNF is naturally occurring and has been extensively tested on mice and in each case it has shown to significantly improve the learning capacity, working memory (Working memory is how many pieces of information you can juggle in your mind at any given time) and cell signalling [reference].
Lose Weight (Shed Fat) – Easier to maintain low body fat, via insulin sensitivity for skeletal muscles. Might be better, burning fat, using fat rather then carbohydrate.
Longevity (Mediated mostly by AMPK pathways). Helps deplete damaged mitochondria and is anti-inflammatory, although not proven definitively.
Increased Growth Hormone – Fasting for more than 6 hours begins the cleansing phase. The cleansing phase is catabolic in nature in that it tears down old damaged cells. These genetic repair mechanisms are turned on through the release of human growth hormone (HGH). HGH also improves skin function, reduces wrinkles & heals cuts and burns faster. Researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute found that men, who had fasted for 24 hours, had a 2000% increase in circulating HGH. Women who were tested had a 1300% increase in HGH.
When it comes to IF and the it's benefits, I repeatedly came across the name Mark Mattson. Mark Mattson (a neurologist at Johns Hopkins University and the National Institute of Health (NIH) research is cited in most if not all 'important' papers discussing IF online. His research states (in short): Fasting reduces oxidative stress, cognitive decline and mitochondrial dysfunction that normally results from brain trauma, so when researches put rats on a 24 hour fast it proved to provide neuroprotective results.
This study discusses how Human (and non-human) studies show that IER increases synaptic plasticity (marker of learning and memory), enhances performance on memory tests in the elderly, leads to the growth of new neurons, decreases risk for neurodegenerative diseases.
With EODF implemented after rat cervical spinal cord injury was neuroprotective, promoted plasticity, and improved behavioral recovery. Without causing weight loss, EODF improved gait-pattern, forelimb function during ladder-crossing, and vertical exploration. In agreement, EODF preserved neuronal integrity, dramatically reduced lesion volume by >50%, and increased sprouting of corticospinal axons. As expected, blood beta-hydroxybutyrate levels, a ketone known to be neuroprotective, were increased by 2-3 fold on the fasting days.
In addition, we found increased ratios of full-length to truncated trkB (receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the spinal cord by 2-6 folds at both 5 days (lesion site) and 3 weeks after injury (caudal to lesion site) which may further enhance neuroprotection and plasticity.
Depression – Decreased – Anti depressants are known to increase BND signaling and synthesis in the hippocampus. Most of the studies have been done on rodents but it is plausible that intermittent fasting may help alleviate depression to an extent.
To reduce "brain fog" (Brain fog may be described as feelings of mental confusion or lack of mental clarity. While on the diet, there are two options, one is to have a low calorie drink (less than 50kcal, if your energy level is dropping and ketone energy just isn't doing it for you, and consume it with nootropics which may potentially help with brain fog.) Consume water. Keep in mind the mind-numbing hunger feeling subsides over time, in up to 6 weeks (on 5:2 diet — 5 days off, 2 days on with CR).
If you are trying IF and just feel like your brain fog is not subsiding, and you are just feeling too drained, you may want to consider taking supplements that may help, some can think it is a form of cheating, but it is up to you to decide if you want to go this route.
First one would be a drug called Modafinil will suppress your diet and provide you the mild CNS stimulation you may need to 'get work done'. I will leave you to check out the link to learn more about this one, and its similar compounds like Adrafinil or Armodafinil (Provigil).
Number two is taking nootropics such as Phenylpiracetam, Caffeine (pill, and definitely not with sugar and creamer or milk!), one will give you a jolt of energy and the other will keep your brain focused. Some people on reddit and around the web have provided anecdotal evidence of ALCAR being effective to stave off hunger, other's have even recommended a herbal tea's known as Kratom.
Note on these supplements: The benefits should be worth your time and counteract any negatives.
As for women: Research has stated that in the long run, IF can disregulate a women's reproductive system, but these aren't conclusive. If you are a women, you should listen to your body and tread carefully, also watching out for signs of hypothryoidism and amenorrhea.
A new type of fast, since we are fans of Bulletproof we are mentioning it here. You could try another coffee company and any other MCT Oil (or better) just make sure you consume the right one (as described in the video). Bulletproof has been known to be somewhat of a "reliable source" for us and that is why it is being recommended and we do get referral fee if you use the link below (with no added cost to you!).
8:00 AM: Drink Bulletproof Coffee.
2:00 PM: Break fast with foods from the Bulletproof Diet.
8:00 PM: Eat your last meal before beginning the fast.
Bulletproof Coffee – Said to be very low in mycotoxins and considered a premium coffee.
Grass Fed Butter – Anchor brand works and use very low amounts.
My take: Although not a real fast to get your body running on ketones, this does get's you into a mild ketosis, and maybe more 'practical' for most people, but needs more research. However it is simple enough to try and many communities online swear by it.
Most fasters do allow themselves coffee, teas and other non-caloric beverages during the fasting. Generally acknowledged that drinking a beverage with fewer than 50 calories will keep you in a fasting state.
Anecdotal Evidence by members of "The fast Diet" 5:2 diet however state that they noticed up to a 50% improvement in memory. For both of these we don't know if the member's have any sort of memory problems, and of other confounding variables.
TrackMyStack (TMS) – If you want to really try Intermittent Fasting and want a measurable way to record your general health (and performance, or ODL's) consider using a Stack Journal to do so. You can't see what's working and what's not if you are not actively quantifying your mood, side effects, anxiety etc and we are the perfect platform to do so. I have a journal which I have been using for the past month and it shows me that I have been able to put off eating for longer amounts of time because now based on my diet, I feel satiated for longer amounts of time and my mood is generally better as well. It's not just me that is tracking this stuff, check out this super in-depth stack of a user trying to increase BDNF.
I wish you the best of luck, IF is something anyone can try and play around with without harming themselves too much (or needing much to start). Remember, there are many types of fasts that can be undertaken if one does not fit to your liking. You may will experience grumpiness and headaches at first, but with some will power it can be overcome.
Most studies as referenced to, do link to non-humans trials but some have been tested on humans and the results are somewhat similar. The supplements mentioned above and Bulletproof intermittent fasting are some ways people cope and try out IF and you are welcome to try them (but I recommend only do so after you have attempted 'regular' IF.). Go ahead and get started, create a TMS account and track your progress towards better health cognitive health.
Supplements are an addition to a optimal diet, thus there is no best supplement for anyone. However, there are supplements such as Vitamin C or Magnesium that everyone probably lacks in. Below is a re-print of a pretty well summarized post as to what you can take, originally found on PasteBin.
Vitamin B1 – Thiamin – 20mg/day – performs decarboxylation reactions; required for complete catabolism of sugars and keto acids; destroyed by alcohol use; deficiency produces neurasthenia, neurodegeneration, and metabolic syndrome.
Vitamin B3 – Niacinamide or Niacin – 250 or 500mg/day (up to 2g/day; requirement is substantially increased during stressful conditions, eg. schizophrenia, and liver disease) – Precursor to NAD and NADPH, the most fundamental cofactors in living organisms. Functional deficiency affects all life processes. NADH is used to extract high-energy electrons from food-derived carbohydrates and proteins. NADPH is widely used by proteins in biosynthetic electron transfer reactions and is part of some antioxidant enzymes. Supplementation has been repeatedly found to have significant benefits in many (perhaps most) degenerative diseases. Niacinamide inhibits the breakdown of NAD.
Vitamin B5 – Pantothenate – 25mg/day – part of Coenzyme A; essential for fat metabolism and oxidative respiration; excessiely excreted in metabolic syndrome.
Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate – 15mg/day – prone to oxidative destruction, especially when B3 is deficient; central to amino acid metabolism; deficiency arrests 'non-essential' protein synthesis; opioid addiction depletes vitamin B6.
Vitamin B9 – TetraHydroMethylFolate – 200ug/day – required to remethylate S-Adenosyl-Methionine; most people are functionally deficient; requirement increased by B12 deficiency; opioid addiction depletes folic acid.
Vitamin B12 – Methylcobalamin – 1000ug/day – normally produced by gut bacteria, which are impaired in everyone; required to recycle folic acid to allow for methylation; deficiency is associated with neurodegeneration.
Perhaps consider a High Bioavailable version of Vitamin B, click here to see one we recommend ($20).
Na-R-ALA – 10-100mg/day; along with thiamin (Alpha Lipoic Acid), oxidizes pyruvate produced by glycolysis; water/fat soluble antioxidant that recycles endogenous antioxidants; effective and non-toxic heavy metal chelator; low plasma levels are indicative of metabolic syndrome/diabetes; supplementation restores insulin sensitivity in diabetes and associated conditions (eg schizophrenia).
Vitamin D3 – Cholecalciferol – 5000 IU/day in winter, less with more sunlight exposure – produced from cholesterol by UV light in human skin. Mushroom skin produces the related compound Ergocalciferol, Vitamin D2, which can partially substitute for our own D3. Prevents calcium accumulation in soft tissue, plasma; prevents osteoporosis, may alleviate depression.
Vitamin E – d-Tocopherols – 30IU/day – up to 400IU/day depending on meat and PUFA consumption. Supplementation is not required if you eat only fruit. In most cases, avoid taking over 400IU/day. Best is to take a,b,g, and d ('mixed') tocopherols and tocotrienols rather than just a-tocopherol. Required for the hydrogenation of excess unsaturated fats and the prevention of their oxidation; spares and restores CoQ10. Antagonizes some of the effects of estrogen.
Magnesium – Magnesium Glycinate/chelate – 50-200mg/day Mg – required for ATP synthesis and retention; required for calcium absorption and utilization; prevents muscle cramping and bruxism. Consider L-Threonate for cognitive enhancement as it passes the BBB more easily into the brain.
Vitamin K2 – Menaquinone – 2mg/day – required for protein carboxylation; prevents bone demineralization and soft-tissue calcification; necessary for proper vitamin D and calcium metabolism; required for effective blood clotting. Vitamin D supplementation necessitates vitamin K supplementation. MK4 is the most active form of vitamin K in non-hepatic tissues.
Zinc – Zinc Picolinate/chelate – ~10mg/day of zinc – required for some antioxidant enzymes (Zn-SOD); required for insulin synthesis; various metabolic roles. Required for MAP binding to microtubules, and hence the structural integrity of neuronal dendrites. Disruption of Zn metabolism by aluminium is related to alzheimerism. Consider ZMA.
Selenium – Selenomethionine – 100ug/day – required for some antioxidant enzymes (GPx); required for the conversion of thyroid hormone to its active form (T3). Deficiency is associated with schizophrenia and diabetes.
Chlorella/Spirulina – 1-20g/day – single celled algae; extremely high in nearly all vitamins and minerals, as well as a wide variety of other biological molecules – good for detoxification. Can be eaten in unlimited amounts, like food.
Vitamin C – Preferably Magnesium, Potassium, or Sodium ascorbate – 10g/day; up to 300g/day for severe degenerative diseases – Apes cannot synthesize vitamin C and require enormous amounts from our diets. Required for many reduction/hydroxylation reactions (eg, synthesis of collagen, norepinephrine, carnitine). Spares and restores other antioxidants such as vitamin E and ALA. Subclinical deficiency impairs capillary integrity and catecholamine metabolism; promotes CVD, cancer, parkinsonism, schizophrenia, diabetes, and most other degenerative diseases. Cannot be obtained in even close to sufficient amounts, even on an all-fruit diet, since domesticated fruits are much lower in vitamin C and flavonoids than wild ones. Large (25g+) doses can be used to overcome opiate addiction, and to relieve pain. Adverse effects are extremely uncommon, with the exception of gastrointestinal discomfort at very high doses (which may itself be therapeutic).
Flavonoids – >500mg/day – catechol flavonoids are required for vitamin C activity; flavonoids improve the efficiency of many metabolic processes; substantially expand the protective capabilities of endogenous antioxidants; largely responsible for the health benefits of many foods. Berries, tea, chocolate, onions, and wine are well-studied sources.
Reishi/Cordyceps/Lion's Mane – 1-5g/day – medicinal mushrooms; contain a multitude of natural nootropics, including noopept-like substances; broadly effective at preventing and reversing brain damage.
If you had to choose six of these, they'd be Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and vitamin K. They are inexpensive and nearly everyone is functionally deficient in them. Everything listed should be taken by anyone living in civilization who seeks to avoid disease and prevent aging.
For Vitamin C, try to find one that also includes flavonoids. For B3, niacin works about as well as niacinamide but also produces flushing and has blood lipid- and cholesterol-lowering effects.
Tracking your medication intake is the single most important thing you can do to recover from any condition or symptoms you may be going through. Skipping a dose or worse yet not remembering can have detrimental consequences on your health and even other's around you. If a dose is skipped or forgotten, it can throw your treatment into limbo and you may need to consult your primary care provider to assist you in determining how to get back on track.
However, there is a solution, a simple way to remain on track and remember if you have taken your medication or not and how it made you feel and what symptoms you experienced through taking the medication stack prescribed to you. The solution if it doesn't seem obvious, is TrackMyStack. Below we will show you how our simple app lets you manage your pain, anxiety, stress, mood, and helps you save your thoughts in a log which can be exported or printed and presented to your caregiver, clearly showing the pills you took (the adherence to it), the exact time, the symptoms you felt and an arbitrary description of how you are or anything else you would like to note.
On top of this, you can do this for as many different conditions, symptoms, or health goals you may have all for free. It is absolutely amazing to discover a pattern which can change your life for the better. There is a saying that you can not improve that you cannot measure — at least in some way. Once you realize the and notice the difference (and perhaps get over the burden of recording your daily activities in the log, you can rest easy knowing — you are taking everything in your power to improve your health).
A stack is inherently designed in such a way that you can't just "record your mood or anxiety", the medication tracking component or "Stacking" aspect inherently makes you take ACTION against your symptom or condition. It does not need to be drugs or symptoms, but the creation of a stack is necessary to record your progress. Below we will quickly show you a few screenshots on how to go about record taking your medication in 3 simple steps.
Step 1 – Get Started – To Register: click here.
Involves typing in your supplements, prescription/OTC medicine, or anything you would like to track. We help auto-fill your pills, saving you time and also give you a recommendation and select the unit of measurement, so inputting and getting started is as painless as possible. A recent addition also provides recommendations based on existing treatments/stacks on what you can add to your stack that is effective for existing patients. Even though we provide the example with supplements, drugs, patches, drops, ointments, injections, herbal, vitamin, diet supplement and anything else you are doing can be added.
We are working on an android and apple apps that will remind you to take your medicine at the right times. The screenshot below skips the first part of the log where you can write your notes about taking this dose, however, it does not show you how you can record a multitude of other things such as your energy levels, focus, memory, and mood. By default all medicine in the stack is set to on to speed up the process of making a post.
Once the entry is saved it can be viewed on your StackLog which shows your Adherence level and your notes, and not included in this entry is how you may also attach an image to your medication log.
The medicine schedule can be printed and looks great. It can be better than typing it out in excel or spending time making your own chart, and this way you can quickly edit or modify it whenever and from wherever. You can further make it and easily share it with your health provider as well, you can even ask your pharmacist or care provider to make the schedule or chart stack for you and put it in private mode if you think that is a better option. Below is what the chart looks like once it has been created, keep in mind this is not the stackLog which keeps a record of when you took your medication.
We make it easy for you to learn more about the supplement or drug you may be taking, we also allow you if it's a supplement and legally allow you to buy it from a high-quality reliable source online. Additionally, if you feel like someone else's stack makes sense for your health goal, and there are no interactions with your existing stack (as confirmed by preferably a pharmacist), you can order the stack directly from Amazon with the click of a button.
The graphs that are generated as mentioned earlier provide a comprehensive way to quickly understand what is causing your symptoms, aside from you printing out this medical log for your doctor, you may also get comments and recommendations from the community who is going through the exact same thing as you. The online version can fully be utilized as an app as the site is mobile friendly.
One main thing to keep in mind is the fact that the site is more than just a simple pill tracking or medicine reminder app. The site will help you remember what you need to take, it will record the progress of your treatment to measure effectiveness, but it will also work to help you learn more about yourself and your treatment via graphs, charts, logs, images and via the community.
In conclusion, TrackMyStack can be referred to as a simple Health Tracker for managing conditions and symptoms to not only dose safely but also to validate its effectiveness. It is perfect for children, adults and especially the elderly. We hope it helps you become a better you. To get started instantly click here.


rough like the cement on the streets.
One painting looks likes clouds.
There is a train in another.
Happy 109th Birthday to Mark Rothko! Our Writing at the Menil Program and the students who have walked through the Rothko Chapel have been continually inspired.


Lucasfilm's Industrial Light and Magic officially opened its 30,000-square foot studio in Gastown on March 17.
ILM, founded by filmmaker George Lucas in 1975, had already been operating a temporary satellite office here on Carrall Street since 2011, which grew to employ about 90 artists. As the studio now has 133 employees, and plans to expand to 200 by the summer, the company was in need of more space.
Their new premises had been vacated by Pixar Canada, which launched in April 2010 but closed in October 2013.
ILM president and general manager Lynwen Brennan allayed any fears that ILM Vancouver would follow in the footsteps of Pixar Canada's closure, which was Pixar's first studio outside the U.S.
ILM chief creative officer and senior visual effects supervisor John Knoll also pointed out that there is a solid stream of work coming down the pipe for them.
The Vancouver studio will work on numerous blockbusters such as the Star Wars trilogy, Warcraft, Jurassic World, and Tomorrowland.
ILM Vancouver already has a few projects under its belt, including The Lone Ranger, which received an Oscar nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Effects, and Pacific Rim, which was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Special Visual Effects. Current projects include Captain America: The Winter Solider for Marvel Studios, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Rather than split up work by discipline between offices, Brennan said the company divides work by sections of a film.
Brennan claimed that the Canadian dollar was not an influential factor in their decision to put down permanent roots in Vancouver.
"Our leading tenet is talent and we follow the talent," she said.
Knoll added that proximity to and being in the same time zone as their San Francisco office (which has a core staff of about 400 employees) were favorable considerations. ILM also has studios in Singapore and London, England.
Brennan said that they are already working with local studios such as Image Engine on several projects and would like to work with local industry schools.
"Within our studios we have a very, very strong and robust training program….We would love to have the opportunity to work with the schools and find ways that we can have a two-way collaboration," she said.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, Minister of International Trade Ed Fast, and Minister of State for Small Business Naomi Yamamoto all made speeches at an official opening ceremony held at the studio.
Yamamoto (who graduated from UBC Film Production program) said that the provincial government provided the film industry with tax credit support of more than $350 million for over 600 digital media companies. Those companies generated over $2.3 billion in annual sales and employed over 16,000 people.


As more and more devices get connected to telco networks (estimates are around 850 million by 2016), there will be an increased demand for complete IT solutions that can automatically provision services, monitor, analyze and control the connected devices. There will also be a pressing need to collect, fuse and act on real time data.
On the consumer side of the telecom industry, there are huge challenges confronting wireless telcos.? Will they be able to capitalize on new value added services or just be purveyors of dumb pipes that are used by others to make money?? What types of new services or markets might telcos enter and will they be able to monetize and gain from emerging technologies that others are deploying? For example, can telcos make money from home security monitoring, telemedicine/e-health, life style automation or other "connected home" types of services? What are consumers' rights on the data collected from customer premises? How is privacy of a consumer ensured in the emerging ubiquitous connected world of which residences are the end points?
To ensure future growth and stability for M2M (Machine to Machine) communications and mobile broadband (3G/4G), telcos need to think ahead to anticipate and cope with the expected of mobile data traffic as well as the management of millions more end points. Mike Finegan will reveal how Sprint will enable M2M communications with its network resident, "purpose built" platform. He'll also identify some very interesting M2M applications.
Sumeet Ahuja will shed light on the different and new areas of opportunity that AT&T is entering and making strategic investments in. Also, he will share observations on user behaviors, patterns and trends and rise of non-traditional players who are challenging telco revenues streams.

Clarissa Place
Norfolk's number of coronavirus cases has risen by 19. Picture: Ben Birchall/PA Wire - Credit: PA
Norfolk has seen another large rise in positive coronavirus cases after an additional 19 were confirmed.
The latest figures from Public Health England on Friday saw the county's cases increase from 51 to 70.
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital confirmed two more patients have died after testing positive for the coronavirus in Norwich, as the number of deaths in the UK rises to 759.
Five people have died in Norfolk during the coronavirus pandemic, including two men who died after being diagnosed with Covid-19 in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn on March 20.
Figures in the east of England rose by nearly 200 in the space of 24 hours increasing from 598 to 796.

The Department of Health said that in the UK a further 2,921 cases have been confirmed in the last 24 hours.
As of 9am on Friday 14,579 people have tested positive for the virus, with nearly 100,000 people testing negative. To date 113,777 tests have been carried out.
Prime minister Boris Johnson, health secretary Matt Hancock and the chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty have all confirmed they have shown symptoms of the virus and are in isolation.
During the daily press conference, Michael Gove said: ""The fact that the virus is no respecter of individuals, whoever they are, is one of the reasons why we do need to have strict social distancing measures so that we can reduce the rate of infection and reduce the pressure on the NHS."

[04:09:04s] [startedRetrieving]rentPrice(in doll) [min: 199, max: 300]

Now, using a Scanner method I'm reading line by line and I would like to append into a String the lines for every room. For instance:
[04:04:04s] [startedRetrieving]getHouseName: house1
[04:04:04s] [startedRetrieving]random useless text
[04:04:04s] [startedRetrieving]price (in doll) [min: 1000, max: 1200]
[04:04:05s] [startedRetrieving]squaremtr (in doll) [min: 75, max:85]
[04:04:04s] [startedRetrieving]sellVal (in doll) [min: 1000, max: 1200]
[04:04:05s] [startedRetrieving]random useless text
[04:04:05s] [startedRetrieving]random useless text
[04:04:05s] [startedRetrieving]random useless text
[04:04:05s] [startedRetrieving]rentPrice(in doll) [min: 150, max: 200]

In this way for every string I could parse the values using my specific regexes and retrieve the values. Here's the code I'm using:
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("path//to//file", "UTF-8"));
String string = "";
while(scan.hasNextLine()){
String str = scan.nextLine();
while(str.startsWith("getHouseName" && str.endsWith("rentPrice")){
string = string.append(str);
}
System.out.println(string);
}

But I'm getting an empty value. How can I save all the lines fromt he file specific to every house?
Thank you very much
EDIT: thanks to the response, I managed to have everything retrieved. How can I separate the group? Right now I have:

By Community Bulletin
The Girl Scouts of Cranford, Service Unit 48, presented the national organization's most prestigious honor - the Gold Award - to three young women of Cranford.
The Gold Award recipients - Julia Lachenauer, Ellen Rokicki and Isabella Stoto - were honored at a recognition dinner at Garwood's The Westwood. Guest speakers included Natasha Hemmings, CEO of the Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey; Freeholder Bette Jane Kowalski; Cranford Township Mayor Thomas Hannen, Jr., Robin Johnstone, co-founder of Missions Possible; and Dr. Karyn Keating of Keating Physical Therapy.
"Cranford's Girl Scout Service Unit 48 is extremely proud tonight as we honor these young ladies for their hard work and years of dedication to our community;" said Kristin Santos, Service Unit co-Manager for the Girl Scouts of Cranford.
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award that Girl Scout Ambassadors and Seniors can earn. The Gold Award has stood for excellence and leadership for girls everywhere.
Each Gold Award recipient joins the ranks of generations of young women who have made a difference in their communities and beyond.
Projects require a minimum of 80 hours of work; including identifying an issue, investigating the issue thoroughly, getting help and building a team, creating a plan, presenting the plan, gathering feedback, taking action, and educating and inspiring others.
"The projects presented this evening demonstrate how the Girl Scout organization has helped foster leadership, passion and desire within our young ladies to be the positive change to make a difference in the world around them."
Julia Lachenauer, from Girl Scout Ambassador Troop 40046, focused her Gold Award project on helping young students improve academically by establishing a drop-in tutoring program through the Cranford Public Library. Students in Kindergarten through fifth grade receive free tutoring from High School students at the library on any subject they need assistance in, while the teen tutors earn community service hours for donating their time as well as gaining invaluable life skills.
Ellen Rokicki, of Girl Scout Ambassador Troop 40752, created "Buddy Bins" - designed to keep siblings connected while one is undergoing treatment for an illness. Each bin contains dozens of fun games and activities, and Rokicki also created a website with links to online games and other resources. With the support of the Cranford community, Rokicki was able to create Buddy Bins for three New Jersey children's hospitals.
Isabella Stoto, one of Cranford's Girl Scout Ambassador Juliettes, aimed to educate local students on water conservation and plastic prevention with her Gold Award project. Stoto worked with local Girl Scout Troops and Bloomingdale Avenue School in order to install a water fountain with a lead filtration system and dispenser for reusable water bottles at the elementary school. Through assemblies and presentations, she educated students at BAS and younger Girl Scouts about water conservation and plastic pollution. Stoto also gave Girl Scouts insight on being a Senior Ambassador Girl Scout and encouraged them to pursue their Gold Award.
Also during the evening, the 2018 VFW Scout of the Year - recognized by VFW Post 335 - was presented by James Silkensen in absentia to Mary Grace McNamara from Girl Scout Ambassador Troop 40046. The VFW Post 335 Scout of the Year program provides members of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts who display standout citizenship, patriotism and love of country with the opportunity to be rewarded with college scholarships.
The Girl Scout Silver Award, the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn, was presented to the following girls - Emily Bornstad, Margaret Mary Garcia, Erin Miklencic, Amanda Marie Newport, Rachael Durant, Kaitlin Frees-Kroboth, Tiffany Phan, Lila Schau, and Madison Zarzecki. The Silver Award project requires at least 50 hours of dedication by each Girl Scout and is the precursor to earning the Gold Award.
Girl Scouts is the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls - all girls - where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives. For over 106 years, its membership has been unified towards the achievement of the Girl Scout mission: "To build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place."
The Girl Scouts of Cranford, Service Unit 48, boasts over 1,115 Girl Scout members in 69 troops and Juliette's, making it one of the largest non-profit organizations in town.
The Cranford Service Unit is a part of the Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey Council which is part of the Girl Scouts of the USA.

If you know anything about the new iPad, it's probably that the third-generation model of Apple's tablet will sport a so-called Retina display--a screen with pixel density so high that the human eye can't discern the individual dots in normal use.
If you know anything about the new iPad, it's probably that the third-generation model of Apple's tablet will sport a so-called Retina display--a screen with pixel density so high that the human eye can't discern the individual dots in normal use. Old iPad apps will look fine on the new iPad, but only apps that update with Retina-quality imagery can fully exploit the updated screen. Apple already updated almost all of its own apps, and now it's updating its website with Retina-ready graphics, too.
At this writing, Apple's homepage sports the faux word "Resolutionary"--text rendered in graphic form--along with an image of a hand touching the new iPad. Before you run AppleInsider's code, the default webpage uses a 471 by 93 pixel for the Resolutionary image, which weighs in at about 7kb. After you run the code, Apple substitutes a version of the image that doubles its width and height, yielding a 942 by 186 pixel image that weighs in at about 18kb.
The large iPad graphic starts out much larger, so its Retina version is, frankly, enormous. The original image measures 1454 by 605 pixels and 113kb; the Retina version is a whopping 2908 by 1210 pixels and 360kb. The Resolutionary image is about 2.5 times larger in its Retina version, and the hand and iPad image is more than 3 times larger. It's those Retina-friendly increased image sizes that make me worry about the impending iPad storage space crunch, but in this case the Web images wouldn't gobble up your iPad's remaining space. Those images could, however, gobble up plenty of extra bandwidth--which could be quite significant if you're using your new iPad's cellular connection.
When Apple's website loads those larger Retina images, it still squeezes them into the space taken by the smaller versions. That is, the 2908 pixel wide iPad image is only displayed by default on the iPad as 1454 pixels wide. The doubling of the image empowers the Retina display to work its visual magic.

Public asked to weigh in on new plaza designs outside St. Paul's City Hall-Courthouse
By Shannon Prather , Star Tribune
Public feedback is being sought on three concepts for a permanent public art display in honor of the late Larry Cohen, to be located outside the place where he served as mayor, commissioner and judge — the St. Paul City Hall-Ramsey County Courthouse building.
Cohen, who died in 2016 at the age of 83, was the only person to serve as St. Paul mayor, chairman of the Ramsey County Board and Ramsey County District Court chief judge.
He was renowned for his support and work on behalf of communities of color and immigrants, including the arrival of Hmong refugees in the late 1970s and '80s.
St. Paul artist Marjorie Pitz, who was selected by a community committee, developed three ideas for the plaza outside the City Hall-Courthouse at the corner of Kellogg Boulevard and Wabasha Street. The only things there now are planters and a flagpole.
The first design, called "You are Welcome," features a grassy area surrounded by a "circular outdoor gallery of artist-painted chairs" that represent diverse groups, Pitz said. Selected artists would offer designs that touch on cultural pride, social justice, immigration and other themes.
The second design, "Solar Radiance," is said to infuse design and art into the concrete. Third is "Circles of Doves and Light," which would string glistening beads or luminaries on overhead posts. Quotes would be engraved in the posts and pavement.
All three designs are still in the concept phase and will be further developed based on community feedback, which can be provided online at surveymonkey.com/r/VPFKTKL through Feb. 23 or at three presentations led by Pitz.
The first presentation will be from 3 to 4 p.m. Saturday at Rondo Community Library, 461 N. Dale St., St. Paul. Sessions also will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Feb. 14 at the City Hall-Courthouse, and from 11 a.m. to noon Feb. 15 at Neighborhood House, 179 E. Robie St., St. Paul.
Cohen, a St. Paul native, was elected to the County Board in 1970. Two years later he was elected mayor of St. Paul and served through 1976. Gov. Rudy Perpich appointed Cohen to the Ramsey County bench in 1988.
Cohen retired in 2002 but continued to serve as a senior judge.
Throughout his career, he championed the rights of women, immigrants, Native Americans and other groups that have been marginalized.
"He would see injustice, see something broken and say, 'How do we fix this?' " said Cohen's widow, Kathi Donnelly-Cohen, in an interview last year. "He was an incredible man."
Cohen was influential in efforts to buy the old federal courthouse on Rice Park in downtown St. Paul and have it restored into what is now Landmark Center, a publicly owned cultural center listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's regularly used for exhibitions and music, dance and theater programs.
Both Ramsey County and St. Paul have contributed $100,000 to the Cohen Recognition Project.
Otto Bremer Trust, St. Paul Foundation and F.R. Bigelow Foundation also have contributed, as well as the Hmong community and the Cohen family.

In February 2017, we fielded a study to survey 12,169 men and women aged 18+ in 32 markets: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Who Are Prosumers ?
Prosumers are today's leading influencers and market drivers - they've been the focus of Havas Worldwide and BETC studies for more almost 15 years. Beyond their own economic impact, Prosumers are important because they influence the brand choices and consumption behaviors of others. What Prosumers are doing today, mainstream consumers will likely be doing 6 to 18 months from now.
There was a time when the word 'feminism' not only raised eyebrows but also apocalyptic scenarios. While we have undeniably made great progress we are still debating over gender issues and inequalities.
The remarkable find of our study? In year 2017, people are reluctant to state they are feminists. Why is that? Has feminism become irrelevant? The word 'feminist' belongs to the past and a political fight is a more relevant talking point today. However, at the same time, we do expect women to play a bigger role: 45% Prosumers and 30% Mainstream globally agree that in the future it will be women who will lead change in the world. A female future is indeed a better future: 46% of women and 34% of men agree that the world would be a better place if more women were in positions of power. If we expect women to lead change in the world, why don't we call ourselves feminists? With all these conflicts in place no wonder why the gender discourse is so convoluted today.
FACT #1 – WHO CLAIMS TO BE A FEMINIST ?
Only 31% of women and 17% of men globally declare they are feminists. Our 'aversion' to the word feminism has many causes, the most prevalent being that the topic of feminism has become a political issue. It's about progressive versus conservative views that shape the way we perceive the world around us. Looking for example at the United States, while a whooping 64% of Democrats declare they are feminists only 32% of Republicans do so. That said, both sexes (46% of women and 34% of men) were more likely to agree than disagree that the world would be a better place if more women were in positions of power.
FACT #2 – RIGHTS VERSUS POWER
Having rights does not necessarily mean power: 56% of women and 41% of men globally agree that women today have rights but no real power. We still have a long way to go when it comes to gender equality and we recognize our shortcomings: 66% of Prosumers worldwide agree that there are not enough women in executive positions today. Indeed, as of 2016 there are only 4,2% of the top 500 US companies run by women. However, gender equality is a matter of cultural perception. Western countries are more likely to agree that we are still far from reaching gender equality, while there are those – mostly driven by Southeast Asia and Middle East – who are most likely to think there is less urgency to do more on the issue. So whose fault is it that gender inequality persists? For most, it's society's fault that deters women from reaching complete equality. However, for others like Russia, China, Cambodia and India gender inequality is more the fault of women who don't really want full equality. Nonetheless, cultural distinctions seem to fade when pragmatism comes into play: 91% of women and 84% of men globally agree that women and men who do the same job should be paid the same.
FACT #3 – MEN HUNT, WOMEN CARE
45% of women and 42% of men globally agree that true gender equality will never exist because the genders are not equal. Is it that we are inherently unequal or is it the lack of representation in society that perpetuates inequalities? We gave our respondents a list of 25 important traits and attributes, and asked whether each one applies more to men, to women, or to the two sexes equally. Though there were some distinctions (our global total sample agreed that men are more mechanical and women are more nurturing and sensitive), for the most part we saw a real overlap between the genders.
69% of men and 71% of women believe the sexes are equally smart
64% of men and 68% of women believe the sexes are equally intellectual
63% of both men and women believe the sexes are equally trustworthy
61% believe the sexes are equally hardworking
Despite these fading distinctions, interestingly, men view themselves as better bosses/leaders than women (while embracing more traditional feminine qualities) while women still distinguish themselves on an emotional level. What does this mean for the future of leadership? Will it be women who will lead change in the world after all or men who embrace 'feminine' traits?
FACT #4 – BOYS DON'T CRY BUT WOMEN CAN BE ALPHA MALES
Traditional ideas and images of femininity are challenged. A woman has a variety of ways to express her femininity that do not necessarily entail wearing make up, dresses and heels. In fact, only 12% of women and 17% of men globally agree that a woman who does not wear make up is not feminine enough. In addition, only 8% of women and 12% of men globally agree that a woman who does not wear high heels is not feminine enough. But while women are increasingly more liberated from feminine stereotypes, men are still stuck in rigid masculine imagery: 67% of Prosumers globally agree that a man should be masculine and 46% agree that a man who wears make up is not masculine enough. A woman showing up in a suit at work is no big deal but all eyes turn toward the man who steps out in a skirt (unless he is Jaden Smith or lives in Scotland and is on his way to a traditional kilt ball).
FACT #5 – BABIES OVER BOARDROOMS
For everyone – men and women – family comes first: 73% of men and 72% of women globally agree that being a successful parent is more important than having a successful career. Family is a crucial part of the human experience but what happens when we try to combine family and career? In most cases and particularly in less organized states that lack provisions to help working parents, women will usually take on the onus of childcare: only 13% of women globally state they leave most of the childcare to their spouse/partner as opposed to 35% of men. And while men agree that being a parent is more important than a career, 23% of them admit that they sometimes use work as an excuse to not spend time with their child(ren). However, Millennials who are looking for more meaningful careers while being dedicated parents, are particularly conflicted: while only 29% of Millennials feel guilty to leave their child(ren) to go to work, 46% feel guilty not to have enough time to play with their kids.
