Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly butter a 1-quart shallow baking dish and arrange the croissant pieces in the dish. In a small saucepan, stir the sugar and water over moderately high heat until the sugar dissolves; wash down any crystals on the sides with a wet pastry brush. Cook without stirring until a medium amber caramel forms, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, milk and bourbon. Cook over low heat just until any hardened caramel dissolves.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Gradually whisk in the hot caramel. Pour over the croissants and let stand for 10 minutes, pressing the croissants to keep them submerged.
Bake the pudding in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve.

29 Things That'll Make It Look Like You Actually Tried
I'm doing my best, okay?
Katy Herman
We hope you love the products we recommend! Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.
1. An easy, cozy dress for those days when you wish you could just wear your pajamas to work, but you unfortunately have to put on actual clothes.
This effortless little number has quite the fan base — it's got over 4,000 positive reviews on Amazon!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, I'm in love! This dress feels like a soft T-shirt. It's very stretchy, so comfortable, and the length is perfect! I feel beautiful in this. You can totally dress it up with boots, a scarf, or a necklace. I will definitely be ordering more colors." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in 21 colors).
2. A cool corner shelf that'll control your clutter and make anything you put on it instantly look Pinterest-worthy.
Get it from The Home Depot for $69.25+ (available in three colors).
3. An all-purpose cleaner you can rely on to clean up every mess you could ever possibly make. Buh-bye, cabinet full of single-purpose cleaning products you never want to use.
You can even use it on clothing stains or to get ink off your hands.
Promising review: "This is BY FAR the best cleaner I've ever used. There is no review I can give this that will do the product justice. It works great on carpet, furniture, tile, toilets, bathtubs, sinks, walls, I could go on. This is the last cleaner you will ever need to buy!" —GL!+cH
Get a 32 oz. bottle for $7.99, or a 64 oz. refill jug for $10.18, both from Amazon.
4. Miraculous pimple patches for a face so clear, everyone will assume you're a skincare pro.
Amazon, amazon.com
Yes, the white spots in the pic on the right are, in fact, bits of gunk pulled from the reviewer's pores!!!
Promising review: "Okay, what is this sorcery?? I can't believe I never knew these existed. I seriously felt like a teenager again last weekend. Literally days after talking about how great my skin has been, this giant, painful, bulging zit was starting to form right in the middle of my chin. A week before my cousin's wedding, naturally. It was like it wouldn't stop growing, and spot treatment solution was doing absolutely nothing. It hurt so bad, and I couldn't help trying to pop it, but it refused. Then I heard about these. I placed one on my chin the second they arrived in the mail. After a few hours, I saw the white forming and I was curious and peeled it off. Then I put a fresh one on before bed, and come the next morning...HOLY COW, the entire dot of the patch was now a giant white blob. This zit was no joke. It's amazing how much fluid/pus had to get sucked out. Like I said, this is some magic. The zit completely went away within a day." —Heather R. Weather
Get a box of 36 from Amazon for $5.60.
5. Nonstick fluted cake pans to make even the cakes you just made from a mix look all ~fancy~.
*Immediately thinks of the scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding where Ian's mom brings a bundt cake to the party*
These pans are dishwasher safe!
Get a set of two from BuzzFeed's Tasty collection at Walmart for $17.74.
6. A rotating, adjustable cosmetic organizer so you look a little less like a makeup hoarder.
It's got over 1,500 positive reviews! Plus, the height of each tray is adjustable, so it can fit several different sized products.
Promising review: "I'm very happy with my purchase. It did just what I wanted it to do. I have a huge collection of makeup, but it was all so cramped under my vanity and I had a hard time finding exactly what I wanted. I do believe those days have finally passed. This organizer is currently holding about 70-80 products of all sizes. It was easy to put together. I like that I can rearrange all my products to suit my taste. The lip around the shelf is high enough so that the products are easily stored without everything falling out when I rotate it. It feels sturdy and it rotates very smoothly." —M. Johnston
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors and three shapes).
7. Adorable fine-tip pens that write so nicely, you won't have to worry as much about making your ~unique~ handwriting legible.
Promising review: "These pens write really well, are superfine, and are pretty adorable. I didn't think I would like them so much and was worried they would smear really badly (I'm left-handed), but they don't. The caps stay on nice and tight, and they're easy to stick on the end of the pen while you're using it and they don't fall off. Now I just have to make sure people don't steal them from my desk..." —Laurabear
Get a set of six from Amazon for $5.69.
8. And some pretty stationery, because your grandma does not want to receive a thank you note written on a legal pad.
FourWetFeet/Etsy
Get a set of ten cards with envelopes from FourWetFeet on Etsy for $17 (available in four colors).
9. A teeth whitening charcoal powder that'll make everyone think you've never touched coffee or candy in your damn life.
Over 15,000 (!!!!) Amazon reviewers are in love with this stuff, which you just brush on like you would toothpaste. It'll leave you with teeth so shiny, Chip Skylark himself would envy them.
Check out BuzzFeed's full write up on this powder plus more products with amazing before-and-after photos.
Promising review: "I've only used it four or five times so far, and the results are excellent! I had stains on my teeth from tea and red wine, but they're all gone! This costs less than whitening strips, is easy to use, and has no unpleasant taste. It's an awesome product." —katydid26
Get it from Amazon for $19.89+ (available in two flavors).
10. An adorable mini vacuum to quickly banish crumbs so the remnants of your desk lunch don't keep bugging your coworkers.
Get the required AA batteries here.
Promising review: "I keep it on my office desk to help clean off crumbs and dust. It's no louder than a hairdryer and has decent suction. It sucks up crumbs and dust without any problem. I've also used it on my craft table to suck up glitter and other small paper scraps, and again it worked seamlessly. It's a great little gadget to have on hand in several situations. I might just get another." —D. Phillips
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two colors).
11. A traceless hair tie so you can toss your hair into a messy bun in a pinch without ruining your 'do for the rest of the day.
Anamaria Glavan / BuzzFeed, Sarah Han / BuzzFeed
Never end up with the dreaded post-ponytail crease ever again. These babies are also great to sleep in so you don't wake up with a total bird's nest for a head. I personally use these as my everyday hair ties and I love how gentle they are on my hair! Check out one BuzzFeeder's full review of them here (#1).
Promising review: "It sounds like hyperbole to say that these hair ties changed my life, but it's true. I sleep with my hair in a messy topknot using these elastics every night. In the morning, I just take my hair down, run a brush through it, and that's it. My hair is done, and more voluminous than ever before. I do have pretty low-maintenance hair in general (long, naturally straight) but I never thought it could be THIS EASY." —Rachel P.
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in eight colors).
12. An upgraded T-shirt that's anything but basic, so you can still just throw on jeans and a tee but suddenly look all ~fashion~.
Amazon, Forever 21
Get the embroidered tee from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in seven colors) and the draped tee from Forever 21 for $25 (available in sizes S-L).
13. A set of bamboo cutting boards so polished, they can double as serving trays sure to impress your guests.
Promising review: "This is the perfect assortment of boards for daily use in the kitchen and secondary use as serving platters. The largest board has a bread/vegetable flat side and a meat side with a liquid channel in it. The two medium boards have convenient handles that I I can put my hand through if needed, and the small one is a great snack tray." —Wardog
Get a set of four from Amazon for $27.99.
14. A glam statement necklace you can throw on to make even the most basic outfit suddenly look stylish.
Promising review: "No less than STUNNING! I love this necklace. It came packaged very nicely and the color is spectacular. You won't be disappointed." —Audrey D
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in four colors).
15. A set of exercise cards so you can customize a guided workout that won't make you want to curl up in a ball and cry. No one has to know your personal trainer is made of paper.
Each card includes an exercise with illustrated instructions, a suggested number of reps, and is broken down into three difficulty levels, so even beginners can have a great workout with them.
Promising review: "These are a great way to making working out easy, especially when you aren't feeling motivated. I love that they're color-coded by body section so you can grab a card or two from each category and make sure that you're getting a good all-around workout. These make for new and fun workouts every day." —SoccerMom
Get a pack of 56 cards from Amazon for $15.49+ (available in four workouts, from stretches to core).
16. A subscription box guaranteed to make you seem like the most thoughtful gift giver ever, full of stuff your friend will love (from coffee and books to adorably quirky goodies).
For example, Coffee and a Classic will send them a classic book, a hot drink, a bookmark, and two more cute items themed around the book (you can choose between three genres and coffee, tea, or hot chocolate). You can also opt for a slightly pricier version that'll also come with a mug and a snack.
Meanwhile, each Quirky Crate will deliver the wannabe Zooey Deschanel in your life seven to 10 funky treats like stationery and accessories (plus every box includes socks, an enamel pin, and something by a featured artist).
Get Coffee and a Classic for $28.49+/month or Quirky Crate for $33+/month, both from Cratejoy. Find more great subscription boxes here.
17. A pretty file folder to keep your mess of papers straight and end the days of turning in dog-eared essays, because good presentation goes a long way.
It can expand to hold up to 150-200 sheets of paper! Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on these awesome folders.
Promising review: "I'm a college student with a lot of papers to carry. I was looking for something cute and easy to carry that fits manila folders and keeps smaller folders from getting crinkly. This DID IT. I can't express how much I love this — I got a second one that's coming very soon! I can throw loose leaf papers, folders, or even books or small notebooks in this, and nothing gets crinkled or bent. I get a lot of compliments on it as well!" —Alexa Viz
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in eight colors, or find it in floral prints here).
18. A one-and-done dryer brush for a blowout no one will believe isn't professional.
This brush may be full of hot air, but the 4,000 reviewers who swear by it aren't.
You never need to deal with trying to balance a hair dryer and a round brush ever again! Let your hair air dry most of the way, then use this genius tool (which has two heat settings and a cool setting) to give your strands a just-stepped-out-of-the-salon vibe. Check out BuzzFeed's full review of this amazing brush.
Promising review: "I'm no professional hair stylist, nor do I have a lot of time to do my hair, but this blow dryer brush makes getting ready so much easier. I just section my hair into small pieces, use this tool from my roots to the tips, then curl it in at the tips. This adds a lot of volume to my hair and a nice wave to the ends. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, easy blowout!" —C
Get it from Amazon for $33.49+ (available in two sizes).
19. A collapsible storage ottoman perfect for stashing all your clutter when your family visits. "Yes, mom, of course I spent this weekend cleaning!"
It's the grown-up version of shoving everything under your bed!
Promising review: "This bench has served more uses than I ever could have imagined. Originally, I bought this just for the added storage. Not only does it fit all my bulky sweaters, but it's a great way to have additional seating in my room and I can use it as a table or footrest! When the package arrived, I couldn't believe how compact the bench was. The assembly takes all of three seconds, and it's completely self-explanatory. You unpack, unfold, and cover. It's so simple." —Miranda
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).
20. Cute exercise leggings, because it doesn't really matter what workout you're doing as long as you look cute doing it.
These have over 1,000 positive reviews! They also have a hidden pocket and are made from a sweat-wicking material.
Promising review: "I love love LOVE these pants! 90 Degree pants are my favorite workout pants, and I live in them since I'm also a personal trainer. They're comfortable, durable, affordable, and they've got great stretch for thick legs!" —Elly Patrick
Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in 40 prints).
21. A sleek, whimsical watch so people will think you care about punctuality, when really all you care about is the cute little kitty hidden on the face.
Promising review: "I have very small and narrow wrists, so wearing watches or bracelets was always a hassle for me because almost none of them would ever fit right. They'd always be too big for me, which was why the majority of the time I never bothered to wear them until I decided to take a chance on this Casio watch. The watch is very cute with its little cat design on the dial and leather band with plenty of holes to fit small wrists like mine. It has markings for each minute, keeps accurate time, and is water resistant (however, I wouldn't try submerging it). It's very fashionable, inexpensive, simple, and feminine. And best of all, I've finally found a perfect watch that fits!" —Christi
Get it from Amazon for $19.85.
22. Iron-on mending patches for making your favorite clothes look like new without ever having to sew a single stitch.
Promising review: "A package of these paid for itself after one use. I used it to repair the cuff of my corduroy pants, which had gotten caught in a bike chain. There rip was going to be impossible to sew by hand, so I used a patch on the inside and outside of the cuff to hold it together. After a year of so of washes and dry cycles I noticed the patches coming up on the edges. I just peeled the original patch off after heating it up with and iron an replaced it with another one." —Ed Raton
Get a pack of 10 two-inch-by-three-inch patches from Amazon for $3.72.
23. A super cool spider plant, a species that's known for being very hard to kill. And because it comes already grown and potted, this multi-limbed friend requires basically zero effort.
Bloomscape
Bloomscape ships all their plants already in pots and with a drainage saucer, and they have experts you can chat with online whenever you have plant care questions. Let's be real, sometimes it takes a village.
Get it from Bloomscape for $35 (available in five planter colors).
24. Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation to take a natural makeup look to a whole new level. It's designed to perfectly match every skin tone, so people may think you just woke up like this.
@fentybeauty / Via instagram.com, Ignacia Fulcher / BuzzFeed
Check out BuzzFeed's full review here (#5).
Promising review: "This is the only creaseless, perfect coverage, transfer-resistant, longwear, perfectly-matches-your-skin-but-looks-even-better foundation I've ever found. I had it on from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and literally forgot I was wearing it. I was just wearing the foundation, no other products. I almost didn't wash it off before bed; it's that lightweight! Thank you Fenty!" —NaanaEsi
Get it from Sephora for $34 (available in 50 shades).
25. A self-cleaning litter box that'll actually keep your kitty's space even more tidy than a box you'd have to put a lot of effort into cleaning would.
This brilliant box has motion sensors that detect when your furry friend is present, and automatically scoops up their business into an enclosed trap 20 minutes after they leave. All you have to do is change the tray every few weeks.
Promising review: "I love this. My two cats are very picky about their litter box, but they both took to it quickly. The best part is that doesn't smell, and I don't have to touch nasty cat litter ever again! This scoops the poop into the compartment and I never have to see it. One litter cartridge lasts about 20 days, and I just change it when it starts looking ugly. It takes about two minutes to change the litter. I recommend this to anyone who hates litter, but loves their kitties and wants them to be happy and healthy." —Chey
Get it from Amazon for $139.95 (available in two colors). Get refill litter trays here.
26. Bento box lunch containers sure to make even the saddest of leftovers look like a masterfully crafted meal.
They've got over 1,000 positive reviews!
Promising review: "I absolutely love these! They're great quality. I'm able to refrigerate, freeze, or microwave them without any problems. The compartments each easily fit about a cup. These containers are perfect for helping you stay on track with eating healthy or just to simplify your life. It's so nice to not have to cook dinner every evening. I just cook a lot over the weekend, meal prep for the week, then pop the containers into the freezer. The night before I put them in the fridge to defrost, then I'll just microwave them when I'm ready to eat." —Stephanie O
Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $16.99.
27. Chic-as-heck block heels that are just as comfy as flats but are a major step up (literally).
Promising review: "These deserve ten stars. They fit perfectly and are classy-looking heels!! I wore them to a wedding and had them on for well over eight hours, and not once did they hurt my feet. I felt like holding up my long dress so everyone could see my shoes. These heels are just perfect, and the ankle straps make my legs look even sexier. They're very comfortable shoes and I'll be ordering additional pairs. I would say order these — you simply can't go wrong and your feet will thank you for it." —Minerva Bryant
Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes 5-11 and in 13 colors and prints).
28. A handy battery-powered fabric defuzzer so you'll basically never have to retire your old fave clothes and bedding, and they'll still look like new!
Over 5,500 people swear by this thing! It's got three depth settings so you can get a just-right shave, and the lint-collecting compartment detaches so it's super easy to empty. Get the required AA batteries here, and check out one BuzzFeeder's rave review of this defuzzer.
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this little baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I'm de-pilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. I'm obsessed. I've started asking if my neighbors need anything de-pilled. Everyone needs to own this." —Sydney Jensen
Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in seven colors).
29. A sexy padded lace bralette for when you want to look cute enough for ~company~ without wasting time forcing yourself into something 20 times less comfortable.
Promising review: "I had breast surgery and was having a lot of pain and discomfort wearing regular bras. My girlfriend recommended trying a bralette. It was so comfortable it felt like I wasn't wearing a bra. It gives me great support and shape under my clothing. And it's pretty! I was a 38/40DD before my surgery and am now slightly smaller; I bought the XXL and it fit perfectly. I've since ordered several more in different colors and I'm about to do so again." —Angel
Get it from Walmart for $10+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in 10 colors).

After a tough 71-60 loss to George Mason on Sunday, the Massachusetts women's basketball team (11-14, 3-9 Atlantic 10) will look to get back on track Wednesday in their matchup against George Washington University (12-12, 7-5, A-10).
To rebound successfully after a disappointing loss like the one suffered on Sunday, UMass must be better. To begin playing better as a team however, star players Hailey Leidel and Maggie Mulligan must get their play back to their expectations.
Leidel, who has shot just 4-13 and 4-18 over the last two games, has been in a bit of an offensive slump. The reigning Atlantic-10 Rookie of the Year still sits fourth in the conference in three-point percentage, but her recent slide has hurt the Minutewomen's offensive production as of late. Coach Verdi admits that Hailey's play hasn't been up to par in recent games.
Senior forward Maggie Mulligan has also been in a bit of a slump, shooting below 50 percent and getting into foul trouble early the past two games. The premier inside threat for the Minutewomen, Mulligan's inability to stay on the floor as of late, has allowed teams to take advantage of them on the interior.
The presence of Mulligan, who sits fifth in the A-10 in rebounds, averaging 9.6 per game, impacts the game immensely for the Minutewomen.
Typically, when Mulligan gets into foul trouble, Verdi alters his 2-3 zone to include Hailey Leidel at the center position.
Mulligan's absence on the court creates a compounding effect on the rest of the team, as Leidel's defense is missed on the wing as well. If the Minutewomen want to bounce back on Wednesday, it's imperative Mulligan stays on the court for as long as she can.
Though Leidel and Mulligan's play greatly affects the outcome of Wednesday's game, UMass shot a very poor 29 percent and 36.8 percent in the last two games, respectively.
Tory Verdi has taken some words out of Bill Belichick's book on how Leidel, Mulligan and the rest of the team can improve for next game, and from this point out.
Tip off from Washington D.C will commence at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.


A laundry room is boosting in popularity as a required house enhancement. The ten laundry room concepts we share will help create a place that's arranged, approximately date and eye-catching enough to take pleasure in throughout laundry chore time.
If you are wondering where the very best area to include a utility room would be, think of comfort first. Set your laundry room up near where dirty washing would indeed accumulate, or near the bedrooms where clean laundry gets sent out. Some other favored utility room places include near the entrance, mud-room surrounding, in the kitchen area, in a bathroom or near a closet or clothing area.
Remember that unexpected flooding may in some cases take place. Water resistant the floor covering listed below the washing machine, especially if your utility room is located on a second flooring. Some great ways to water resistant consist of adding plastic sheeting over the subfloor, constructing out a shallow frying pan for the laundry equipment to sit on or tiling the laundry floor under the machines.
Another consideration when choosing a utility room area is the sound from the device's resonances. Washing machines that lie on the 2nd floor need to be fitted with vibration pads that dampen the noise that occurs when the maker remains in motion.
Although a few of our motivational images in the gallery are huge spaces, a utility room can be developed in a little space or closet. With a little imagination and some planning, a valuable, efficient laundry room can be yours. Right here are 10 utility room ideas that arrange, add value and also upgrade your area.
Counter area is crucial for folding, positioning your laundry basket and various other things while you work. Create a custom counter look to your utility room by including a counter over your side-by-side washer and also dryer. If you have the square footage, add an island to your utility room to boost the counter room.
For a high-end, custom-cabinet look to your laundry room, include cooking area closets around your washing machine and clothes dryer. Select inexpensive closets and upgrade them with contrasting, intense wall colors or wallpaper. Remove builder-grade equipment and also change with custom cabinet draws. A versatile and modern cabinet draw design is the bar, which can work as a towel or wall mount shelf. If you're on a budget plan, check out a dining establishment supply store's used section. Stainless job tables and also shelving would be an excellent utility room concept and even a choice to built-in closets.
If you don't have sufficient area to maintain your washer as well as dryer alongside, stack them vertically. This is an excellent method to collaborate with smaller areas while still having a functional washing location. An additional innovative way to place your washer, as well as clothes dryer, is to mount them off the flooring. Raising your washer as well as clothes dryer make it less complicated on the back by getting rid of the need to bend over to load as well as dump the washing machine as well as a clothes dryer. Develop a storage area in the area listed below the washing machine and also dryer. Some washer and even clothes dryer makers use the raised storage unit in the matching home appliance coating.
Wall surface work areas, drifting racks, baskets as well as clothing bars are all excellent storage choices in a laundry room. Make sure to add a filthy laundry arranging system to conserve time when doing the washing. An excellent guideline is to have a minimum of three dirty washing bins for white, light as well as colors or dark clothing. Asking everyone in the household to arrange their unclean washing in the proper container saves time.
Laundry rooms often inhabit dark or windowless spaces. Excellent lighting is of utmost relevance. Adding under-cabinet lighting or a big, above component not only lightens up and increases the size of the area, excellent lighting helps you locate spots and also stains on laundry products to pre-treat before cleaning. Even better, add a combination of lights including canned ceiling lights, necklaces and also under cabinet lights like the photo above. Gorgeous illumination fixtures are not just useful but likewise contribute to the design of a laundry room.
A wall surface or cabinet placed drop-down ironing board is a great method to conceal mess. A lot of layouts not only conceal the ironing board away, yet have sufficient space to also store the iron itself. A wall-mounted drying rack is one more good option for air-drying delicates like lingerie or sweatshirts.
One of the most successful laundry room suggestions involves converting a hall, home office or guest area wardrobe right into a utility room. Add plenty of shelving and recognize clearances, so doors may shut when the laundry room is not in use. Most of our laundry room ideas are simple. Take a look at your laundry area and see exactly how you can upgrade yours to arrange and also add value to your residence. What are your favored suggestions to attempt?

Section 8.01-51 means that you can't get more than one settlement from the same injury. Say you have an injury that is settled and a payment is made. If that same injury and situation later leads to a wrongful death, you can not get more money for the wrongful death.
Section 8.01-52 lays out what you are allowed to be compensated for.
1. The sadness of the wrongful death as well as the company, companionship, fellowship, friendship, comradeship, camaraderie. Basically you get money to compensate for missing the deceased.
2. You can get money to help cover loss of income, serves, protection, care and assistance that was provided by the deceased.
3. Money for medical bills and doctor's treatment.
4. Money to pay for the funeral, as long as it is within reason.
5. Money to penalize the person who caused the wrongful death because of deliberate reckless behavior that disregarded the safety of others.
The money you get for the wrongful death settlement shall have the judge or jury specify how much money is to be given for 3, 4 and 5 above. For example the judge or jury might say, "We are awarding $100,000 for this wrongful death, of which $10,000 is for medical bills, $1,000 is for funeral expenses, and $20,000 is to penalize the person at fault." The money for the doctor's bills and funeral expenses is to be given directly to the people who are owed money. You are allowed to use an expert witness to say how much money is owed under 2 above.
The court decides how the money is to be divided.
§ 8.01-51. No action when deceased has compromised claim.No action shall be maintained by the personal representative of one who, after injury, has compromised for such injury and accepted satisfaction therefor previous to his death.

Fishino Shark: arduino like board with 32-bit, WiFi, audio codec, sd card, battery charger – The software
By Boris Landoni on March 18, 2019
A new Arduino-like board ready to "devour" the competitors: not surprisingly, it was called Shark. Let's see how to use it.
Second and last episode.
Read the first post about Fishino Shark
The sea of Fishino, our series of prototyping boards compatible with the Arduino family, has recently completed its population: as we have explained in the previous issue, the "fauna" of the little fish's popular boards has been enriched with a "shark", the Fishino Shark. This name wasn't chosen randomly: the leading characteristic of all our Fishinos is that, in addition to being compatible with the corresponding Arduino, they're named after fish (apart from UNO, called Fishino UNO). This one is called Shark because it's the most aggressive of our prototyping units.
It has a Microchip 32-bit PIC32MX core and can be considered a cross between Fishino32, compatible at the header level with the Fishino UNO but equipped with an excellent audio codec, and Fishino Piranha, compatible with the Arduino MKR1000 but equipped with additional features and functionality. Fishino Shark, therefore, provides the performance and peripherals of a 32-bit board in the form factor of an Arduino / Fishino MEGA but with many more I/Os than its competitors.
So we can consider it an Arduino with the standard headers of the MEGA, but with a 32-bit processor and additional connectors to make available the additional I/O equipped.
In the last episode we met the Shark hardware and explained how to make it; now it's time to use it, we'll see first the preparation and then the configuration of both the board (the setting) and the IDE of Arduino necessary to manage the programming of Shark.
LET'S SEE HOW IT WORKS
As we announced at the beginning of the first episode of this article, the programming of Fishino Shark can be done easily through the IDE of Arduino (provided it's a recent version or at least 1.6.5, which allow the import of third-party board drivers) having the foresight to install the package provided by us on the site, containing all the additional programs needed.
The installation of the package, thanks to the work of the Arduino team, is very simple: just open the IDE, select the Settings submenu from the File menu, and enter the www path in the line titled "Additional URL for the board Manager". fishino.it/arduinoide/package_fishino_index.json, as shown in Fig. 1.
Note that you can enter multiple paths by clicking on the button, which will open the window shown in Fig. 2 where we can add more URLs. Once you have entered the path relative to Fishino, simply enter the "Tools-board-board Manager …" menu, through which you will have access to the management panel for additional cards; towards the end you will find the package fishino_pic32 by Fishino (Fig. 3) corresponding to our Shark, which is a 32 bit.
You can see the Install button on the right, along with a box to select the version number; at the time of writing this article the version number is 1.0.1, but the package is constantly updated, so don't be surprised if you find a more recent version.
Then click on the Install button and the package download will start. It can last several minutes; don't worry, it's an operation to be performed only once or only when you need to update the driver package, in which case only the modified elements will be downloaded.
Once the installation is finished, the screen will appear as shown in Fig. 4: as you can see, the Install button is now replaced with the Remove button and the list of available tabs appeared; don't worry if it will be different from what appears in the image, because we are studying further boards! Therefore, once this operation is completed, the board Manager window appears as in Fig. 4; now you can close this window.
In the IDE board selection menu (Tools> Tab) you will now find your Fishino Shark (Fig. 5).
Done! Your Fishino Shark is almost operational! Why almost? Simple, because to be able to manage it from the Personal Computer we still need USB drivers, which for some operating systems are to be installed; not Linux, in which they are included, nor even of MacOS X. We're talking about Windows, the operating system for which it is necessary to proceed as explained below. The procedure can be ignored if you have Linux or MacOS-based computers.
LET'S INSTALL USB DRIVERS ON WINDOWS
The drivers are automatically downloaded together with the software package containing the descriptions of the new boards we have just installed in the IDE; unfortunately, these drivers have not installed automatically on Windows for technical reasons that depend on how Windows works. But don't worry, to install them you just need to follow the instructions that will appear on the screen once you have connected Fishino Shark to the Personal Computer; when the operating system will make a pop-up appear indicating the detection of new hardware, click and proceed by searching for the drivers manually in the path where you have downloaded them. In the case of downloads on the hard disk "C" and the IDE Arduino installed there, the path will be something like this:
C: \ Arduino1.x \ packages \ fishino \ tools \ pic32-drivers-windows \ 1.0.0 \ chipKIT Drivers
where instead of Arduino1.x you will find the exact version of the IDE you are using.
Once the Stk500v2.inf file is selected, the driver will be installed, the operating system will assign and open the virtual COM port assigned to Fishino and at the bottom of the IDE window, once the board has been selected from the menu accessible from Tools / Tab. COM number assigned.
SELECTION OF THE USB PORT
Once the drivers have been installed (if necessary), the system is ready for use. It is therefore necessary to check or select the correct port in the IDE, associated with the Fishino Shark, which will be a COMxx on Windows (basically a virtual COM where xx stands for the port number created by the operating system) or a TTYACMxx on Linux (remember that no drivers need to be installed here). As for MacOS, we have not yet run enough tests and therefore we don't have a recommended procedure for the Apple system, at least for now. However, we suggest you visit the website periodically, where updates and suggestions will be published as they arrive.
LET'S PERFORM THE FIRST SKETCH!
Now we are ready to test our board!
Here we can immediately find a small difference, which may look like a discomfort compared to Arduino or 8bit Fishino boards, but it could be translated in an advantage: at the moment, the board doesn't have an auto-reset which sets the board automatically in a loading sketch mode; you need to press the reset button and hold it for something like 2 seconds until the orange programmable LED blinks, but not for more than 4 seconds, after that it sets a mode which allows updating the WiFi module's firmware, highlighted by a blinking blue LED.
If we lose time, we can just release the release button and start over again!
But what's the meaning of this choice? Simply because, since the Shark has a native USB, this is bound to the microcontroller's functioning, as in the case of Leonardo's boards of Arduino.
If the micro-controller gets stuck (it is needed a sketch in order to stick it for a bug), the USB port doesn't respond anymore to the commands, including the reset ones.
This is why, for the moment, we opted for a manual system which avoids, for example, the famous "emergency manoeuvre" needed in some cases in the Arduino's boards, which is the pressing of the reset button "a moment" after starting the program from the IDE.
However, we do not exclude to include, in a future bootloader's version, an automatic reset system, even if the limits that we already said will remain.
So let's go back to our sketch: let's load the example BLINK from the IDE, the one that makes the led13 blink (which matches to the white led on the board), let's hold the reset button for around 2 seconds and, when the orange LED starts to blink, let's press the button that loads the IDE's sketch.
After some seconds (it depends on the speed of the PC, on the complexity of the sketch, on the number of the libraries involved, …) the loading will be finished. This is highlighted from the switching off of the orange LED and from the contemporary blink of the white LED.
Done! We have our tested and working board! And now, what do we do with it?
We'll explain it to you below.
LET'S UPDATE THE WIFI MODULE
If you followed the articles on the 8-bit Fishino boards, you will surely remember that the firmware update procedure required some flying connections between the board I / O and the ESPCONN port, as well as the preventive loading of a "neutral" sketch (for example blinking) and more.
None of this is necessary anymore on the 32-bit Fishino and the Fishino Shark, because the board is placed in firmware update mode using simply the reset button, intervening on the hardware.
press and hold the reset button until the blue LED starts to flash; it takes 4 seconds because after the first 2 will start to flash the orange LED, to indicate the sketch loading mode and after a further 2 seconds, the blue LED will start to flash;
at this point you need to launch the FishinoFlasher program, taking care to have a working Internet connection on your computer, as the firmware will be downloaded from the network.
The FishinoFlasher program will be presented with the typical screen shown inFig. 6, in which
you can see some elements, among which the type of board detected (Fishino Shark), the serial number of the WiFi module and the currently installed version of the firmware (7.5.0, in this specific case).
In the box below you can choose a new version to install; the latest version is available (7.5.0 in this case), but nothing prevents the installation of a previous version, even if it's not normally recommended.
Pay attention to the fact that a "major" change of version number (the first digit on the left, 7 in this case) corresponds to a non-backwards compatibility with the previous libraries: a library installed and running with version 7.5.5 will also work with a firmware version 7.5.7 and 7.9.9, for example, even if you don't take advantage of the additional improvements (the opposite isn't true, i.e a library made for version 7.5.7 will require a version sign of AT LEAST of 7.5.7!); conversely, that library will never work with a firmware version 8.0.0, so be careful.
In summary: a library made for a firmware having a major version number X will work with all the subsequent firmware having the same major version number, but not with the previous ones or with the successive ones having a different major version number.
Just below you find the possibility to activate the loading of sketches via WiFi (OTA); simply enable the appropriate box, enter a name for the board (here MyFishinoShark) that will appear in the IDE and a door that we recommend to leave as indicated (7777) unless you have special needs.
That said, we choose our version and press the Flash button; after a few moments, the actual update will start: at the end of the procedure a notification window will appear confirming the update; you see it in Fig. 7.
At this point, simply click the OK button in the middle of the notification window, close the FishinoFlasher program and press the reset button on the Fishino Shark tab to exit the update mode.
THE LIBRARY SOFTWARE
That said, we can spend a few paragraphs to describe software libraries implemented explicitly for Fishino Shark.
We can divide these libraries into two substantive categories:
system libraries;
user libraries.
This is a fairly fictitious division since good or bad all libraries could be considered partially in both sectors; the real difference lies in where they are placed on the hard disk and in the update mode.
System libraries are placed in the arduino15 folder, which has different locations depending on the operating system, and are managed and updated by the board manager integrated into the IDE.
This category includes, for example, the SD library, the AudioCodec, the I2S, and so on.
With each update available, the IDE will report its presence and will give the possibility to automatically download updates.
The Fishino library, on the other hand, together with the FishinoWebServer and others, belongs to the second category for our choice; this library, in fact, depends not on the board itself but on the firmware version of the WiFi module, and must, therefore, be updated according to this. Inserting it between the system libraries would have forced the user to update it, and then to update the firmware every time the system libraries are updated, which is not strictly necessary.
This library must then be downloaded directly from the site, download section, as for the previous boards; in that section, you will also find sample programs, among which the FishinoHomeAuto.
The download section libraries are provided as a zip file to be decompressed in the libraries folder inside the folder containing the sketches. Once you have performed this procedure you can try all the examples related to the use of the WiFi module as for the previous Fishino boards.
At this point it is necessary a note about the latter: their operation is identical, on the Fishino Shark, to that of the previous boards; you will notice only a noticeable increase in performance and, obviously, a memory occupation definitely far from the limits of the board!
A very important note: in Fishino Shark we have inverted the LiPo battery connector compared to the previous Mega REV1 and Guppy; this is to adapt to the "de facto" standard of batteries available on the network.
Therefore, pay close attention to the polarity indicated on the board when connecting the battery and, if it is the reverse of the LiPo you own, you need to invert the connector.
Be very careful, because for energy efficiency reasons we preferred for the input of battery power, a configuration that is not protected against polarity reversal (in practice the protection diodes are missing)!
We end this article dedicated to the most powerful board of the Fishino family here.
By putting it into operation and trying to use it, even though the example sketches that we provide you with support, you will immediately have the opportunity to "touch" the superior performance in terms of both hardware and computational speed.
Then you can shoot sketched sketches on other boards of the Fishino series (of course, provided they use the same devices supplied to the Shark), you can immediately see the difference, in terms of computing power, between the 32-bit core of our "shark" and those of the Fishino communes! Well, that said we just have to wish you good work and good development of your applications!

Alice Springs to face the 'big dry' in public
This morning, the Northern Territory's Liquor Licensing Commission endorsed a proposal from the Alice Springs Town Council to ban public drinking across large areas of the municipality.

This morning, the Northern Territory's Liquor Licensing Commission endorsed a proposal from the Alice Springs Town Council to ban public drinking across large areas of the municipality.
Currently, police are empowered under the Northern Territory's 'two-kilometre law' only to tip out or confiscate alcohol being consumed within two kilometres of licensed premises.
Today's decision, which will take effect from 1 August 2007, will enable police to issue a $100 on-the-spot fine to public drinkers, and gives them the discretion to issue a contravention notice for a fine of up to $500.
Commission chairman Richard O'Sullivan noted that the application had been approved "on the basis that satisfactory complementary measures will be in place from the outset". These measures will include an effective communication and education program involving radio and television advertisements in community languages, adequate policing of town camps, and practical assistance to town-campers and public-housing tenants who want small residential areas to be declared 'dry'.
Crikey spoke to Alice Springs Mayor Fran Kilgariff who said she was relieved about the decision. "We have always understood that this is not going to reduce alcohol intake within the town. What it will do is provide safety and a feeling of security and give back the public areas of the town to the residents."
Crikey spoke also to William Tilmouth, executive director of Tangentyere Council, the peak organisation for the 18 housing associations that run the town camps. Tilmouth was less sanguine, saying that he was "very concerned that this will ultimately mean that the town campers will have to bear the pressure of drinkers within their homes".
Territorians drink more grog, more often, than any other Australians — and alcohol consumption in Alice Springs is twice the national average. A 1990 report entitled What Everybody Knows About Alice noted that "European alcohol abuse and its effects remain mostly hidden, but the effects of dysfunctional Aboriginal drinking are plain for all to see".
The commission will review the decision after 12 months, but has reserved the right to revisit the decision earlier if it deems this necessary.


We recently went on a trip to Mexico and had a wonderful time. Doug and I traveled a lot before we had kids, and we made it a conscious decision to travel now as a family. We didn't want to stop seeing the world because we have little kiddos, we wanted to show them the world! Above is a photo from last summer when Roman is less then six months old. We traveled to my hometown of Newfoundland, Canada. The plane flights are about 10 hours total, but it worth it to take my boys to my hometown and create memories for them, so it becomes a part of who they are. Below is a beach my husband grew up going to. It is about a 6 hour car trip from Orange County, and Roman hates road trips at his age, but all the stops to let him out of his car seat just became part of the adventure; part of our memories.
1. GO. I think many times we make excuses for a vacation. It is expensive. The kids have school. It is so much effort. I always remind myself that the days blur into weeks, but the one week you travel and see the world, you will always remember. It doesn't have to be some exotic get away. My husband grew up seeing America in his family RV and many of his greatest stories are on the side of the road with his family when the thing broke down.
2. THE KIDS WILL RISE TO THE OCCASION. I remember the first time we took our boys to Italy. A 12 hour flight followed by a 5 hour car ride. I was dreading the travel a month before we left. But you know what, we survived. We made it. Yes, there were melt downs in the customs line, but it was worth it. We have the greatest memories of swimming in the green grotto with my little kiddos and I will cherish them forever.
3. BE ORGANIZED. As a mom, you are packing for the whole family. You have to think about everyone. I like to make a list a few days before we leave, and as we go about our normal day, I remember things they use and need and I add them to the list. This way, I have a few days to think about everything and everyone, and it saves me from being stressed out the night before we travel.
« Social Media- Friend or Foe?
Thank you for this post! It's a great encouragement to go for it and make memories!!

On August 19, 2009, Tommy Davis, the chief spokesperson for the Church of Scientology International, received a letter from the film director and screenwriter Paul Haggis. "For ten months now I have been writing to ask you to make a public statement denouncing the actions of the Church of Scientology of San Diego," Haggis wrote. Before the 2008 elections, a staff member at Scientology's San Diego church had signed its name to an online petition supporting Proposition 8, which asserted that ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Katie Holmes knows how to draw a crowd — including anti-Scientology demonstrators.

Not in the line: roughly 30 Scientology protesters who stood behind a barricade and loudly chanted "Scientology kills!" Some wore masks like in the movie "V for Vendetta," and one poster read: "FREE KATIE." ...

Former pop-up bars taking more permanent form…
Former pop-up bars taking more permanent form in Denver's RiNo district
Creative director behind the Big Wonderful. Denver Bazaar has long-term leases in place for two businesses on Walnut Street
Sara Grant, The Denver Post
New plans are in the works for the old BOOZ hall RiNo.
By Joe Rubino | jrubino@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
After building a reputation for creating limited-time-only events and here-and-gone, pop-up bars, Josh Sampson is breaking character and setting down roots in RiNo.
The northwest corner of 28th and Walnut streets is in a state of flux as Sampson, the co-founder of Denver events company Gum Pop Presents and the creative director behind The Big Wonderful festivals and Denver Bazaar pop-up markets, goes through his transition.
Gone is BOOZ Hall RiNo, the short-term bar concept that opened at 2845 Walnut last summer offering tasting rooms and sales counters for Colorado winemakers and distillers. Its bright pink exterior is gone, too.
A new business dubbed the RiNo Co-op is under construction there, Sampson said. It will maintain tasting rooms for moonshine maker 3 Hundred Days of Shine and Jack Rabbit Hill Farms winery and cidery. It will also be the home of Denver Bazaar's permanent retail arm, which will sell goods from 35 vendors. Co-working space, a coffee shop and an art gallery will round out the co-op mix.
"It's kind of a forward-thinking idea that takes elements of my pop-up experience and puts them under one roof," Sampson said of the business, which he described as a "social hall," a twist on the food halls that now dot the city. "This is the first time in Denver where I'm going into a more traditional lease situation."
RELATED: A pop-up bar is about to drop 500,000 balls in Denver. What could possibly be next?
Just across the parking lot at 2811 Walnut, Yeah Baby, the "disco lounge" Sampson designed last year, is being renovated as it prepares for a long-term stay in the neighborhood. In addition to internal upgrades, Sampson has plans to add a patio at the neon-tinged bar.
"We thought the pop-up was so successful, people loved it so much that we are deciding to make it a permanent concept," Sampson said. "The idea of the whole (RiNo Co-op, Yeah Baby) organism functioning together is super exciting."
The timelines for the two projects are iffy. A sign hanging in the former BOOZ Hall/future co-op's window said it hopes to open this summer, but Sampson said things are at the mercy of contractor schedules in booming Denver.
In the same building as Yeah Baby, 14er Brewing Co.'s taproom is also undergoing renovations. The wrap-up date for that project is also up in the air, according to 14er. The company is directing devotees to its brewery and beer garden located just a few blocks away at 3120 Blake St., formerly Beryl's Beer Co. Stem Ciders remains a draw in the back half of the building.

Gum Pop's bread-and-butter events will keep the 2800 block of Walnut Street busy over the next few months. The RiNo Spring Bazaar will shut down the block on May 18-19. Weekly Friday Night Bazaar markets will start on June 7.
"I have been in RiNo since 2014 and I really believe in this neighborhood," Sampson said of his latest efforts. "I'm just trying to continue to make it more fun and vibrant."
Tracy Weil, co-founder and president of the River North Art District, said it's fantastic that the RiNo Co-op and Yeah Baby have long-term leases and thinks both will provide opportunities for artists.
"This is why we have an art district, to attract creatives and entrepreneurs," Weil said. "If we can provide a platform or an area for them to experiment and learn and grow their small business, that's super important."

Bridget Jones author Helen Fielding to launch novel in Primrose Hill
Published: 5:00 PM September 23, 2013
Author of Bridget Jones's Diary, Helen Fielding - Credit: PA Archive/Press Association Images
Big-knickered Bridget Jones is back after 14 years, much to the delight of a generation of women who identified with the calorie-counting, wine-drinking 30-something character.
And where better to celebrate the return of the hapless Jones and the release of third novel Mad About The Boy than author Helen Fielding's native Primrose Hill?
Ms Fielding will be in conversation with former Radio 4 presenter Sue MacGregor in an event to raise money for Primrose Hill Community Library on October 10 – the day the book is published.
Immortalised forever by Renée Zellweger in the Hollywood film and sequel, Bridget Jones is known throughout the world as luckless in life and love.
Her return after 14 years, following sequel The Edge of Reason in 1999, has been eagerly anticipated by legions of female fans.
The third novel will be available on the night, to be held at Cecil Sharp House in Regent's Park Road, Primrose Hill, where Ms Fielding will sign copies.


Mr. David was a flight attendant for American Airlines who developed an alter-ego of the Sky Steward and Aluminum Lady. He produced several videos on YouTube and created a Facebook page that lampooned AA executives (and even customers).
Eventually, his posts caught up with him and AA held a meeting with him. But this was no ordinary meeting as Mr. David posted regular Facebook updates from the meeting live.
Raises some interesting issues about the use of social media at work, given the NRLB's hard stance against restrictive social media policies by employees. Still, I think they would have been fine asking the guy to put his cell phone away during the meeting.
