How Keeping Houseplants Alive Can Contribute to Your Mental Health
Caring for green things may boost happiness, lower anxiety, even lengthen your attention span. But for most people, it's an acquired skill.
By Cotton Codinha
There's an old adage about how if you can't care for a plant, you'll never find love. Or maybe it's not an old adage, but it totally could be. We know that plants soothe us physically (aloe, echinacea, etc.) and emotionally (your favorite apology flower of choice here). We know that trees have intricate underground networks that communicate with one another. And forest bathing has basically become its own section in the bookstore.
According to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology, caring for potted plants has even been shown to lower blood pressure. Further research suggests that interacting with indoor plants can encourage healing, lessen pain, stress, and anxiety, and increase happiness. Some hospitals, such as NYU Langone Tisch, have formed their own horticultural therapy programs. All of this, combined with innate beauty, may explain why houseplants have come to rule social media and high-end garden shops seem to be popping up like spring bulbs. Which is all wonderful! Unless you're someone whose thumb is so black it could just wither and fall off.
"There's a plant for everyone, but you have to be honest about how much care you can give."
While there are many benefits that come from living with plants, to unlock most of them you have to interact with and care for them, says Leigh Anne Starling, the president of the American Horticultural Therapy Association. In other words, looking at them is only part of the benefit. Here's how you do it: "It fundamentally comes down to water and light," says Rebecca Bullene, the founder of Greenery NYC, who recommends looking at the space where you want to keep your plant and taking note of when light would reach it and whether it would need to be moved to a more light-soaked area at different times of the year.
Bullene is very encouraging: "There's a plant for everyone, but you have to be honest about how much care you can give. If you're not going to be consistent, or will travel a lot and don't have a lot of light, try a Sansevieria snake plant, Dracaena, or an Aglaonema." Think of them as houseplants for dummies. Another word of caution: Just like us, plants need their space to thrive. Sometimes the best practice is benign neglect; overwatering is the silent killer. (A good florist should be happy to give you a clear idea of a specimen's moisture, light, temperature, and nutrient needs.)
Much of the flora we see in media is designed to entice us, like the mouthwatering bowl of pasta on the cover of a food magazine. But that "pasta" is often a prop made with plastic and coated in polyurethane. And those plants, while not made of plastic (usually), aren't realistic for our lives. "I used to refer to it as fiddle fever," says Erin Marino, the director of brand marketing at the New York- and California-based plant boutique the Sill.
"People bring in these gorgeous photos from Architectural Digest and Apartment Therapy that have gigantic fiddle leaf figs in them, and they might not be able to afford the apartment, but they can buy the plant. I know from either the setting of the room or the windows in those photos that those fiddles, which like a huge, warm environment with a lot of sun, are put there just as a prop for the shoot," Marino says.
Marino recommends a pothos plant (a trailing vine that does well in low, indirect light), Monstera deliciosa (the Sill's most requested plant of 2019), and Pilea peperomioides (the Chinese money plant "that was all over Instagram this year," says Marino). As with everything in life, it's wise to look beyond trends. "Everyone's like, 'Oh, succulents, they're so easy!'" says Marino. "But if you don't have a lot of light, a succulent is impossible. And air plants need more water than any other plant — they need a bath every week if you want them to be happy."
"There can be a current attitude that plants are disposable," says Bullene. "When a desk orchid dies a slow death, a person starts to have a negative, stressful reaction to plants. That's the opposite of what it makes us feel like to be outside walking in the woods or in Central Park on a sunny day, and just being around living, thriving nature."
For those who can admit our failings but still want the perfect shot of green in our homes, there is no shame in going faux. Stores like the Sill sell beautiful, believable fakes (the much-lusted-after fiddle leaf fig, for example), with pots to match your color palette. And it might still give you a boost of happiness when you remember to dust its leaves.

Pruning Shears: A good pair of gardening shears can keep houseplants looking sharp and healthy by trimming down dead bits and containing growth to your desired planter. ARS has the perfect pair. $30 (Shop Now)

lifestyle, so I got back in to running. With running came stretching and then one day I decided to download a yoga app. 15min a day quickly turned into 75 min practices.
teaching on the island, I realized that the yoga community is much smaller here. Instead of doubting my self, I believed in my strength and started focusing on how I can make it grow.
could all use some extra time for ourselves.
perfect pictures just to get many likes. But instead of inspiring and sharing the proces, a lot of these accounts are giving the wrong information and setting up a crazy image on this platform. There is so much more to yoga than just a perfect headstand.
platforms will grow even more. It's a perfect solution for people with busy lives and that just want to practice at home.

Huntington Civil Depositions
Civil Depositions in Huntington, West Virginia
Find the right Litigation attorney in Huntington, WV
Litigation Lawyers in Huntington
Civil depositions happen during Huntington, West Virginia civil litigation, as part of the discovery procedure.
"Discovery" is a procedure that happens before a trial in Huntington, West Virginia. During the discovery process, both sides are obligated to make relevant information available to each other.
In Huntington, West Virginia, one way to receive this information is to find the people involved in the dispute (whether they're witnesses or parties), and ask them questions about the issues you believe them to have knowledge of. A civil deposition is typically a pretty simple process: the person being deposed is sworn in (they are under oath, just as if they were in a courtroom). Because the whole point of a deposition is to get testimony on the record, a stenographer or video technician will also be present, recording the whole deposition. The lawyer then asks questions of the witness, and the lawyers for the other side are able to object to specific lines of questioning, if they wish.
Conducting A Civil Deposition in Huntington, West Virginia
Depositions are typically conducted in Huntington, West Virginia if a person's testimony will take several days, or more, to deliver. By doing this before a trial, the jury can be presented just with the testimony that turns out to be relevant, saving everyone a good deal of time. It is also useful if there is any reason to suspect that the witness will be unable to show up in court.
So, it shouldn't be astonishing that civil depositions in Huntington, West Virginia can generally go on for several days. If you are subpoenaed for a deposition in , West Virginia, you are typically obligated to appear. This can be a source of some inconvenience.
To help deal with this fact, Huntington, West Virginia permits witnesses who are being deposed to be compensated for their time. They can be reimbursed for lodging, travel expenses, and given a small amount of money for their time. Remember, however, that this money is most definitely NOT conditioned on the witness giving testimony that's advantageous to one side, and omitting information that's unfavorable. This would be bribery, and it is highly illegal.
In Huntington, West Virginia depositions, everyone being deposed is under oath. This means that you are legally and morally obligated to answer every question truthfully. If you deliberately misrepresent your knowledge (lie), you are guilty of perjury. And if you're caught, you could end up facing jail time and/or some extremely steep fines.
How Can A Huntington, West Virginia Lawyer Help?
If you are the defendant or plaintiff in a lawsuit, chances are good that you'll have to appear in a deposition. You should, by this time, already be represented by a Huntington, West Virginia civil litigation attorney. You should do whatever they tell you to do (unless, of course, they tell you to lie, in that case you should find a new lawyer).
If you're not a party to the case, but have relevant information, you might be subpoenaed to appear in a deposition. In this case, you likely don't need to hire a Huntington, West Virginia litigation attorney, but it would not be a bad idea to seek out a brief consultation with one, to get an idea of what to expect.

We are really pleased to see our new 'Evo' wheels featured in Vital MX after being rigorously tested!
Having a spare set of aftermarket wheels is a bit of a luxury, due to the somewhat extreme prices of the top-of-the-line sets. Quite honestly, though, these were the only option I would have seriously considered, since entry-level wheelsets often seemed to be not only heavier than stock, but also quite a bit weaker. What's the point of buying a shiny new set of wheels, if they're just going to change shape when you come up short on a double? The crew at Dubya recognized that not everyone has the budget to go after the same wheels they build for the likes of JGR or Red Bull KTM. That's why they teamed up with one of the companies they represent, Talon, to build a suitable wheelset for the everyday Joe that also wouldn't break the bank.

We popped the first of our homegrown popcorn tonight!
Each post will have a week's worth of dinners followed by a complete list of ingredients divided into local, not local, and should have been local. "Local" includes processed food (like sausage and salsa) that is made locally without worrying about where individual ingredients were grown (remember, against my nature, I'm trying to not be obsessive.) Asterisks denote foods from our yard. "Should have been local" is foods that I can buy from local producers but didn't due to poor planning.

The Tkinter 3000 implementation of the WCK is designed to work with the existing Tkinter layer, as well as the upcoming Tkinter 3000 interface layer.
"Most toolkits have long assumed that a fixed library of interactive components covered the vast majority of interfaces that were to be built. As a result, they have placed an emphasis on making components from the library easy to employ, while generally neglecting the issue of making it easy to create new interactive components. For example, creating a new widget in the popular Motif toolkit is very difficult. The implicit or explicit assumptions (and in some cases simply poor early design choices) made by a system, significantly limit the kinds of things that can be (easily) accomplished with it.

Besides being ill for a couple of weeks at the beginning of the month, October has been really good, so I'm kind of sad to say goodbye to it. I have a few things planned for November though, and hopefully the temperature will continue to drop (I can't believe how mild it still is in Wales) so it should be a great month too. Make-up wise has been pretty boring this month, I've tried few new products, so my favourites is very lip product heavy, as that's what I've been focusing on for most of the month.
Until last year I was never really sold on the idea of top coats, honestly, I just couldn't be bothered with the extra step. I'd happily paint my nails every night if I had the time but would rarely use top or base coats, but after getting into reading blogs quite heavily I decided that it was time I gave it a proper go. After all, I trusted so many bloggers with other product reviews, why not nail polish? And so began my quest for the perfect top coat.
I've made no secret of the fact that I adore Soap and Glory products, in fact I don't think I've posted a 'Monthly Favourites' without at least 1 item from the brand making an appearance. I am yet to try something from them that I don't love; the scents are always glorious and the skin care items are perfect for my sensitive skin. After hearing so many great things about the Orangeasm Body Wash I knew I had to pick it up, and that is where my obsession began.
As I told you in this post, I've been on the hunt for the perfect grey nail polish for months now. Most I've found were either too light, too dark or just not smoky enough for my liking, so when Models Own had another of their 6 for £20 deals on I jumped at the chance to try out Misty Grey, and I'm glad I did, it's just the shade I've been looking for.
After being ill for a week and not feeling like cooking, I had a hankering for something hot and naughty. I raided the cupboards and found just enough ingredients to make some delicious chocolate pancakes. If anyone wants it I'll post the recipe, though I made it up on the spot so I'd have to make them again and write it down this time. It was super quick and easy (as most of my cooking tends to be) and they were so good!
Like almost every woman in the UK, possibly the world, I am a huge Lush fan, so when I saw that their Halloween and Christmas range had been released I hopped on over the the website to see what was new. I have loads of things on my wish list, but I'm trying to save money at the moment, so I only treated myself to a couple of new products and replaced things I am running low on.
I meant to review this months ago, but I honestly forgot. I don't know how considering I use it almost every day and have bought it 3 times, but there you go, at least I'm writing it now. I've never tried a 'melting gel cleanser' before, so didn't really know what to expect, but now I have tried it there's no going back, I'm in love!
This is another polish that I featured in my 'Top 10 Vegan Nail Polish Picks for Autumn' a couple of weeks ago. It's the darkest of the lot, so dark in fact that you have to be in very good light to see a slight hint of red. Even up close it looks black, and that's what makes me love it.
To create a round photo I edited my existing one in Canva. I searched for 'circle' and found this one.
Even though I have a couple of baked eye shadow palettes and a few other baked products, I have to admit that it's taken me quite a while to get on board with the whole baked thing. I never quite understood the fascination with them; they're glittery, not easy to transfer onto a brush and don't have brilliant colour pay-off, at least that's what I initially thought. Having used the ELF Baked Blushes for a while now, I've changed my mind.
Until recently it never occurred to me that I might need business cards for the blog, but over the last 4 or 5 weeks a few people have asked if I have one to give them. I've been playing around with designs for a couple of weeks and finally decided on the ones in the picture. I knew I wanted them to reflect the style and theme of my blog; simple and clean with the same fonts and header. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I bought them from instantprint.co.uk, and got 100 for just over £12 including delivery. The quality is fantastic (450 gsm) and they were delivered in 2 days. If you're wondering where to get yours from, I'd really recommend them.
Following on from my Top 10 Vegan Nail Polish Picks For Autumn, I thought today I would share my lip picks with you. I've always been a lover of a bold lip, as you can see in my profile pic, and once autumn is even slightly hinted at I'm grabbing for my berry shades. This year is no different, but I have got a few new ones to play with too.
Hooray, it's officially autumn! I'm so glad that the summer is over, as you may already know if you've read my posts on the season so far. In the first post I told you Why I Love Autumn, and last Friday I posted my Top 10 Vegan Nail Polish Picks for Autumn. I have one more post in the series this week, due to go up on Friday, so be sure to check back for that.
As I told you in this post, I was recently lucky enough to win a complete set of the new Barry M Loud Mouth Extreme Lip Colour's. Lip products are my favourite beauty item, so to win a whole set of them from one of my favourite cruelty-free brands was amazing.

We've written a lot about the 1953 Bowman baseball cards because they are so visually pleasing and include, in our opinion, one of the best cards ever made (#33 Pee Wee Reese turning a double play). However, it has been a long time since we put a complete 1953 Bowman baseball set.
The set we just got in, which grades "Very Good", came from a local collector who was selling it on behalf of his father, who had a large collection of early 1950's cards from both Topps and Bowman. It is definitely one of the most consistent 1950's sets that we have ever had.
This set does have one unique aspect: #114 Bob Feller is autographed. Bob Feller signed quite a bit of memorabilia during his lifetime, so we were not at all surprised to find that his card had been autographed.
Although we have written an article about these cards in the past, this is one of the first times that we have had a full set. Click here to see Dean's 1953 Bowman baseball card article, which appeared in the October 15, 2010 issue of Sports Collector's Digest.

Q: Reading an excel file in PHP 5.4.14 I have upgraded the PHP version from 5.1.x to 5.4.14 in which reading of excel files using PHPExcelReader fails with the following warning. In the earlier version, it was working correctly.

The filename images_db/TempCountry.xlsx is not readable

The sample code for demonstration is as follows (It is Temp.php).
<?php
    require_once 'phpExcelReader/Excel/reader.php';

    if(isset($_POST['btnSubmit']))
    {
        $data = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
        $data->setOutputEncoding('CP1251');  // Set output Encoding.
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES["xlfile"]["tmp_name"],"images_db/".$_FILES["xlfile"]["name"]);
        $data->read('images_db/'.$_FILES["xlfile"]["name"]);
    }

?>

<form action="Temp.php" id="dataForm" name="dataForm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" id="xlfile" name="xlfile">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" id="btnSubmit" name="btnSubmit">
</form>

When the given submit button is pressed, the excel file is first uploaded into the images_db/ directory which is successful at which place, the following line,
$data->read('images_db/'.$_FILES["xlfile"]["name"]);

is expected to read this file but it gives the warning as mentioned above.

In the reader.php file, the following line,
$this->_ole =& new OLERead();

has been changed to
$this->_ole = new OLERead();

to avoid the following warning.

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is
  deprecated in C:\wamp\www\wagafashion\phpExcelReader\Excel\reader.php
  on line 261

Why isn't an excel file (neither xls nor xlsx) read by PHPExcelReader in this new version of PHP? Does it have to do something with the version?

InternationalAug 28th 2010 edition
UNESCO and Georgia
Rising defiantly from the ruins
Georgia's mercurial leader cocks a snook at art-historical convention
A president, a patriarch, a plan
IN MANY European countries, dwindling Christian flocks can barely cope with the patrimony they have inherited, from steeples to statues. Georgia, which adopted Christianity 17 centuries ago, faces almost the opposite problem: such is the strength of a religious revival that began after the fall of communism that a hectic programme of building and restoring churches—from tiny chapels to Tbilisi's vast new Holy Trinity cathedral—can hardly keep up with demand.
And perhaps inevitably, the rush to refit ancient places of worship can easily run up against other priorities, including the latest international thinking about archaeology and conservation which holds that intervention should be kept to a minimum.
In some Georgian holy sites the choice is made easier by the devastation that has occurred over the centuries, leaving little to conserve. The sixth-century monastic complex of David Gareja was sacked by the Mongols in 1265, the Persians in 1615, and then turned into a firing range by the Soviet army; when modern monks reoccupied the place, they found little but damp, pockmarked caves. Elsewhere—in several medieval churches, for example—fair compromises have been made between the needs of modern congregations and the desire of art historians to coax faded frescoes gently back to life. On a shoestring budget, Georgia's cultural monuments agency says it has carried out 400 conservation projects, mostly on churches, since 2004.
But there is one ultra-sensitive spot where Georgia's masters—political and religious—are defying art-historical fashion, and are hence on a collision course with UNESCO. That is the Bagrati cathedral, a ruined structure dating from the 11th century. There a new dynasty, uniting the country's west and east, set out to create a great empire. The edifice belongs to one of three world heritage sites in Georgia, and in theory, is subject to UNESCO's rules.
But President Mikheil Saakashvili, and Patriarch Ilia II, the 77-year-old head of the Georgian church, have other ideas. The president has promised the patriarch that the cathedral will be rebuilt: walls, dome and all. Reconstruction is visibly in progress. Such a gesture plays well in a country where a towering expression of past and present glory has more appeal than fragile ruins; but it may be the boldest defiance of the world heritage regime that UNESCO has ever faced. True, Dresden was delisted as a site in 2009, but that was a rebuke to the city, not Germany's government; a game park in Oman had the same fate in 2007 after the government wanted to drill for oil and tried to obtain a smaller boundary.
But Mr Saakashvili's rebuilding of Bagrati is a new, head-on challenge to UNESCO's ideas. A world heritage site is supposed to be of concern to all humanity; he is implying that its value to the Georgian nation comes first. With bristling ire, UNESCO is seeking a meeting with the Georgians to discuss the halting and reversal of the reconstruction. But in a land where religious and patriotic fervour abounds, Mr Saakashvili will not lose many votes by defying the outside world's cultural overlords.

I always bored myself to dead on musicals. Musical movies I watched mostly without any joy. After I heard so many good critics and publicity, I gave the musical movie la la land a try.
A film full of music. From a traffic jam starting with a horn, a dance and music. Ryan Gosling is a jazz enthusiast. Emma Stone a rising actress. The atmosphere of Los Angeles meets with the nostalgia of past times. From emotion to emotion. From love to love. How does it continue? You can see that in this masterpiece written and directed by Damien Chazelle.
Tuuuuuuuuut time for la la land.

Download from the website and install as you usually would with any program.
In this example I've chosen to open a Sims 3 Image using the following the path below detailed in screenshots.
Please use this method for Sims 3 pictures.
Sims 2 and other images are kept in a slightly different place.
Usually in a game folder called "Storytelling" in "The Sims 2" folder or a specific "Neighbourhood" folder.
For the example I've used 800x600 the max for this forum but you do not have to be that exact.
You may also choose smaller or narrower dimensions than this.
Step 5b) Create a folder or use one you already have to store your picture in.
Once you have located or created a folder double click into it.
Try to refrain from using grammatical marks such as apostrophes as this can cause problems when uploading. You can however use underscores.
Step 5d) Always save at 100% quality for the best view of your picture. Then click on "Save" and you are done!
Either upload as an attachment on the forum or upload to a photo sharing website such as http://www.photobucket.com and copy and paste the IMG code into your new post/reply.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial for Neighborly Sims 3, Kat! It is still a valid tutorial, even though GIMP has gone through a couple of changes that I know of, since you wrote it. The basic functions are still the same.
Wonderful tutorial, Kat! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Crude Sprite Prosthesis
Setting Up the Problem
Napkin Mathing
Functional Programming Magic™
Building the Mask
Reassembling
f(f(x))
Motivation¶
So I stumbled across a YouTube video a good while ago that had me transfixed.
YouTubeVideo('U1KiC0AXhHg')
The idea was so simple and so amusing that I knew it'd be an excellent candidate for a quick hacking session. However, when I sat down to actually make it happen, it turned out to be deceptively tricky.
Here's what I figured out:
Setting Up the Problem¶
Napkin Mathing¶
So for starters, I knew I had to be able to express an image in terms of "punched areas" and "ignored areas." I replayed the video and screen-grabbed finished product before it panned over to the sprite.
Image('images/washington_punched.png')
Then I opened up my favorite, free image-editing software and took a look at the size of these boxes.
Image('images/washington_total_height.PNG')
If you look at the bottom-left corner, my dashed-line selection was about 290 pixels. Measuring one of the boxes, I found them to be about 10x10 pixels each, so now I just had to figure out how to express the blank space relative to the box-size.
Well, 11 boxes in my selection means 10 blank spaces in between. So a bit of napkin math yields
(290 - (10 * 11)) / 10
18 pixels. We'll round to 20 for neatness' sake.
Functional Programming Magic™¶
In sketching out the size of "keep" and "skip" spaces, it was clear that I could generalize the pixel selection to "skip a few, keep a few, skip a few, keep a few..." until I covered the height of my image. Then repeating the same process for the width of the image, I'd arrive at the same hole-punched result that the video had.
I've been playing with the fantastic itertools library a lot this week, so when I saw "infinitely repeat the same pattern," I knew I'd want to use something like the inifinite functions in itertools (my notes here).
Concretely, I wanted to be able to specify a num_skips and num_keeps, then devise some endless loop that would serve the value 0 for num_skips sequential steps, then a 1 for num_keeps sequential steps.
def spaced_zero_one_generator(num_skips, num_keeps):
for _ in range(num_skips):
yield 0
for _ in range(num_keeps):
For anyone not in the know about Functional Programming-- specifically as it relates to Python iterators-- I'm pretty pleased with how I explained it here.
But let's unpack what this code's doing.
For starters, we can define this iterator once for use throughout our program. We'll use the values 20 and 10 that we worked out above.
our_iter = spaced_zero_one_generator(num_skips=20, num_keeps=10)
Looking at the code, the first thing that should be immediately obvious is that all of the actual logic is contained in a while True: loop and will thus run forever.
In the next couple of lines we basically say "I want to produce the value 0, num_skips (20) times". The underscore here is simply good code style and effectively says "we're not interested in using the values 0, 1, 2, ... that range() provides.
So when we look at the first 10 values that this generates, they should all provide 0
for _ in range(10):
print(next(our_iter), end=' ')
And again
Then, crucially, the next 10 should provide us 1s
And then switch back to 0s
Finally, if this is able to produce results infinitely, we can just run it once over the height of the image, then again over the width.
for _ in range(1000):
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Looks good to me.
Executing¶
So now that we've got a rough approximation of how we'll skim over the image height and width, what do we do next? Let's talk about mask really quick.
Masks¶
Essentially, a mask is a simple filtering criteria that matches the dimension of whatever you're filtering over. If it's True, you keep the value, if it's False you drop it.
So as a contrived example, we've got 6 letters and we define todays_vowels to be 5 sequential Trues and one False
candidate_values = np.array(['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'y'])
todays_vowels = np.array([True, True, True, True, True, False])
And when we select elements from candidate_values using the todays_vowels mask, you see that the last value drops out because its corresponding todays_vowels element was listed as False
print(candidate_values[todays_vowels])
['a' 'e' 'i' 'o' 'u']
Similarly, if we set that last value to True, we see that y is indeed sometimes a vowel.
todays_vowels = np.array([True, True, True, True, True, True])
['a' 'e' 'i' 'o' 'u' 'y']
So in case it wasn't immediately obvious why we cycled through values of 0 and 1 in the last section, it's becasue we'll be assembling a mask over our image, because in Python 0 is the same as False
0 == False
Out[16]:
And any non-zero value (we'll use 1) evaluates to True
1 == True
Building the Mask¶
So let's assume that we've got a 500 by 500 image.
im_height, im_width = (500, 500)
We want to iterate over the height of the image and generate the appropriate sequence of 0s and 1s to determine our skip/keep scheme
vertical_mask = []
for _ in range(im_height):
vertical_mask.append(next(our_iter))
vertical_mask = np.array(vertical_mask)
vertical_mask
array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1,
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
And we'll do the same to create the horizontal_mask
horizontal_mask = []
horizontal_mask.append(next(our_iter))
horizontal_mask = np.array(vertical_mask)
However we've got a small hiccup here-- Our original image size was 500 x 500. But here, we've only got two arrays of length 500.
print(vertical_mask.shape)
print(horizontal_mask.shape)
(500,)
Thankfully, the numpy library comes chock full of helpful functions and documentation to manipulate arrays and matricies. For this problem, we'll employ np.repeat(), which essentially takes our N x 1 array and stacks arbitrarily-many copies on top of the other to build a consistent matrix, like so.
vertical_repeated = np.repeat(vertical_mask, repeats=500).reshape(500, 500)
vertical_repeated.shape
(500, 500)
horizontal_repeated = (np.repeat(horizontal_mask, repeats=500)
.reshape(500, 500).T)
horizontal_repeated.shape
So now we've got the correct shape for our masks, but what's really valueable about this is what we've got underneath.
plt.imshow(vertical_repeated);
plt.imshow(horizontal_repeated);
If both of these images represent a 500 x 500 matrix of values, then every purple pixel represents a 0 and every yellow a 1. Finally, we can take advantage of some boolean identities and mash these two together using the and operator.
print(False & False)   # 0 and 0
print(False & True)    # 0 and 1
print(True & False)    # 1 and 0
print(True & True)     # 1 and 1
So as you can see, we should only see values that evaluate to True or 1 when both of the corresponding values are True or 1. And that's precisely what we get!
final_mask = horizontal_repeated & vertical_repeated
plt.imshow(final_mask);
Alright, so it looks like we're home free. Our mask looks like it follows the same general "punch out regularly-spaced" holes that the original Washington image did above. Let's use it!
But first, we'll cast our final_mask to be explicitly of type bool, so numpy knows that we intend to use it as a mask.
final_mask = final_mask.astype(bool)
Then we'll load a candidate image
im = cv2.imread('images/hannibal.png')
im = cv2.cvtColor(im, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
plt.imshow(im);
And filter based on our Mask.
3...2...1...Voila!
sprite = im[final_mask]
plt.imshow(sprite);
Wait, hang on, that is kind of Wack.
Reassembling¶
Taking a closer look at sprite, our biggest tip-off is the shape of the matrix
sprite.shape
(25600, 3)
For comparison, our original image had shape
im.shape
(500, 500, 3)
That last 3 is reserved for the (Red, Blue, Green) values. Both 500s are for height and width, respectively.
Therefore, filtering im on final_mask simply consolidated all of the pixels into one long array.
So getting to our intended sprite image should be as easy as figuring out the new N x N dimension and reshaping this long array to meet that shape. Luckily, our starting image was a square, and our traversal was identical vertically and horizontally, so the output should be a square as well, which makes our last hurdle a trivial arithmetic problem.
edge_len = np.sqrt(sprite.shape[0])
print(edge_len)
At long last, Hannibal Buress goes from "Wack" to "V, half of a C" as we intended.
plt.imshow(sprite.reshape(160, 160, 3));
Conclusion¶
I figured most of this stuff out on stream (give me a follow!), but ultimately went on to add:
Support for images that aren't perfect squares
Custom skip_n, take_n values
Smart defaults for when you don't want to supply either
And I packaged it into a tidy little script that you can download and use for your own images. If you wind up making anything cool with it, I'd love to hear about it :)
from spritify import im_to_sprite
Anyhow, here's some of my favorites
Blur¶
Using a small enough skip_n, take_n leads to basically a "Cops blur" effect
coffee = cv2.imread('images/coffee.jpg')
coffee = cv2.cvtColor(coffee, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
plt.imshow(coffee);
plt.imshow(im_to_sprite('images/coffee.jpg', skip_n=7, take_n=1));
20XX¶
The implications that this has on retro-fitting Smash Bros Ultimate to Nintento 64 graphics are still undetermined
fox = cv2.imread('images/fox.png')
fox = cv2.cvtColor(fox, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
plt.imshow(fox);
plt.imshow(im_to_sprite('images/fox.png', skip_n=7, take_n=10))
<matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x1ecab985dd8>
f(f(x))¶
And speaking of video games, downsampling the pixels of sufficiently-large pixel art is basically negligible, haha
mario = cv2.imread('images/mario.png')
mario = cv2.cvtColor(mario, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
mario.shape
(1569, 820, 3)
plt.imshow(mario);
plt.imshow(im_to_sprite('images/mario.png'));

Should I replace all caulking or just the areas where leaks are occurring?
We understand that keeping your tenants happy is of the utmost importance. If a tenant has a leaky window, you may not have time to do a full system replacement. PCM offers both services and would be more than happy to work with you to decide which solution is the best fit for your particular building and tenants.
When is the building ready to be re-caulked?
Silicone and polyurethane are both successful at keeping water at bay, however, the two sealants can have different lifespans. Assuming proper design and installation, a polyurethane joint's lifespan is typically 5-10 years. A silicone joint's lifespan is typically 20+ years. PCM Building Exterior Services division will provide a façade survey to inspect the age and effectiveness of the existing caulk and provide you with a report. In this report, we will tell you the current condition of the caulk and make recommendations for replacement if needed.
What is the difference between "Wet-Glazing" and "Window Caulking"?
"Window Caulking" refers to the perimeter joint where the window frame meets the substrate. This joint prevents water from entering the building and protects the window frame from corrosion. It will also prevent drafts.
"Wet Glazing" is the process of cutting the rubber seals flush with the frame and installing a 100% silicone caulk to seal the glass where the glass meets the metal window frame (mullions). As the original rubber seals age and weather, they shrink. This causes water leaks, air leaks and will sometimes cause the glass to shift in its frame. It is important to keep these seals closed even if you are not experiencing leaks. Water infiltration into the window frame system will cause corrosion of the frame over time.
Should I use polyurethane or silicone?
While a polyurethane joint's lifespan is typically 5-10 years, a silicone joint's lifespan is typically 20+ years. A silicone joint's lifespan is longer because, chemically, it won't break down. Silicone is better suited for temperature extremes. Changes in temperature cause the joints to expand and contract. Silicone allows for greater movement. For a full system replacement, most manufacturers of polyurethane offer a 5-year warranty and most silicone manufacturers will offer a 20-year warranty.
When deciding between a polyurethane or silicone sealant on a replacement project, you should remember to take a few factors into account.
First is the cost of material. Silicone can be up to twice as expensive as polyurethane.
Second is the cost of labor. While the initial application process takes about the same amount of time for each material, the frequency at which you will have to repair and replace the polyurethane sealant can be much higher.
Why is it important to remove old caulk before applying new?
All caulk, whether silicone or polyurethane, requires the old caulk to be removed completely prior to installation. Simply placing new caulk on top of old caulk automatically voids all warranties. The new caulk will not adhere to the existing caulk under any circumstances. Polyurethane caulk is an organic material and decomposes over time. Placing new polyurethane over old will cause the new caulk to decompose at the same stage and rate of the old caulk. Placing silicone over polyurethane will cause the silicone to peel off the building. The oils from the polyurethane interact like vinegar and oil. At PCM we also remove all the old caulk and backer rod as part of our full-system replacement.
Should I require the contractor to involve the manufacturer rep?
Definitely. He or she will perform a pull test for the warranty and make recommendations about which primers to use and which caulk is best for the specific application. All buildings are not created equal. Having the manufacturer reps involved guarantees the caulk and installation will be warrantied.
What are the best temperatures/time of year to do this type of work?
proper curing and developing of ideal physical properties.
Ideal Weather Conditions: Dry weather and outdoor temperatures between 50°F and rising and 90°F and falling. Why dry? Low humidity is key during application in order to prevent cracks from swelling with moisture.

U.S. Border Crisis
Children's rights continue to be violated at the border. Vulnerable and terrified, young boys and girls are being held in custody longer than the legal limit, being separated from their families, and more. Save the Children is on the ground at the U.S.-Mexico Border, assisting families who have been released from U.S. detention facilities. We urgently need your help to reach every last child in need. A donation to our U.S. Border Crisis Children's Relief Fund will support our programmatic and advocacy work at the border and ensure that children at the border are being treated with care and kindness.
DONATE NOW SPONSOR A CHILD
How is Save the Children Helping Children at the Border?
For 100 years, Save the Children has protected the world's children from harm and ensured their rights are upheld.
Through donor support, we are the only national response agency working in transit shelters focused on the unique needs of children.
Our programmatic and advocacy work at the border is focused on delivering immediate humanitarian aid to newly arrived children and families.
Currently, we are supporting transit shelters that care for newly arrived children and families after being released by U.S. Customs & Border Patrol. We are providing child-friendly spaces so that children have safe, designated areas to play, socialize, take a respite from the stress and receive psychological and emotional support from trained adults. We are also supporting mothers with very young children who need a safe, clean and quiet place to care for and feed their children.
We are also continuing to address the root causes of migration through our work in Central America with longstanding programs primarily focused on children and adolescents in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico.
But we can't do any of this important work without the support and the generosity of people like you.
4 Things You Need to Know About Children in Crisis at the Border
Save the Children is gravely concerned about the treatment and well-being of children who are in the custody of the United States government after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Children's rights continue to be violated at the border – being held in custody longer than the legal limit, being separated from their families, and more. Here's what you need to know about the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
1. Many of the families and unaccompanied children arriving at the border are fleeing from a complex mix of social and economic factors.
For years, a complex crisis of violence, brutal gangs and entrenched poverty has driven children and families to flee the Northern Triangle of Central America – El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras – and seek safety and protection in the United States. According to an April 2019 Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council report, family unit migration at the U.S.-Mexico Border has surged by 600% over the previous year.
2. Separating a child from his or her family unnecessarily is inhumane, traumatic and simply put, unacceptable.
The cruel act of separation can cause severe negative social and emotional consequences for the children and their families in the days, months and years ahead. Our global evidence shows that children living in institutions away from their families are highly vulnerable to emotional, physical and psychological abuse, which can lead to lasting developmental problems, injuries and trauma.
3. Save the Children is the only national response agency working in transit shelters focused on the unique needs of children.
Currently, Save the Children is growing the capacity of local transit centers on the southern U.S. border that serve children and families after being released by U.S. Customs & Border Patrol. We are providing our renowned child-friendly spaces, where kids can be kids again, express themselves and begin to cope. Our child safeguarding experts are ensuring children are protected and providing technical training to local municipalities about how to safely serve children.
4. Every child has a right to safety, protection and a future.
Children should not have to experience the trauma that comes from daily threats, a terrifying journey, forcefully being removed from their parents, facing danger at the border or being held indefinitely by the U.S. government.
"Prolonging the detention of young children and ignoring their legal rights is not a constructive deterrent for combatting the migrant crisis at our border, and is not a solution befitting our great nation," said Mark Shriver, Senior Vice President of U.S. Programs & Advocacy. "Children are innocent victims at the border and our government has a responsibility to treat them humanely and with dignity."

Fallout from the last presidential debate.
At most times it was just a screaming match between the President and the former Vice President. With major issues facing the country right now from health to racial riots in the streets, we as the American people wanted real answers. We got nothing but a circus with most of the attention going to the moderator of the debate Fox News Chris Wallace getting most of the time on air. From yelling at the president to not getting an answer on any questions from the former VP. Well, have to see what the next debate will hold or if there will be a debate at all.

Is COVID-19 From Spirit Halloween?
Like clockwork, as it begins to grow colder outside Spirit Halloween stores begin popping up all over the nation. The popular seasonal retailer makes its home in the empty husk of department stores past. It seems with every passing year Spirit Halloween gains more and more traction growing larger in both size and reach. In this life it would appear there are in fact three things certain: Death, Taxes, And Spirit Halloween finding an abandon building to pedal it's wears.
Between the years of 2017 and 2019 the American economy began flourishing in ways that hadn't been seen in several years prior. With a 2.1 GPD increase in the final quarter of 2019, according to bea.gov, business in the US was strong. Now at this point you may be asking yourself, just what does the GDP have to do with Spirit Halloween, or even COVID-19 for that matter? Well it's simple really, what is the only company that could possibly be harmed by a steady American economy, that's right Spirit Halloween. Spirit Halloween thrives on the opportunity of moving into the buildings of businesses that have gone under. Meaning if the economy is stable and businesses are able to stay afloat, this poses a threat for the future of Spirit Halloween. Seeing this to be a career threatening issue, is it so unreasonable to think the higher ups at Spirit we're willing to go to any depths necessary to ensure their future.
Since the introduction of the COVID-19 virus to The United States in late 2019 and through the first quarter of 2020, the GDP has dropped 5%. With an estimated 7.5 million small businesses facing the risk of shutting down (CNBC) Spirit Halloween's location selection is looking ripe for the picking. Now how would a company such as Spirit Halloween go about being able to cover up such a massive pandemic,why by turning to what they know of course, bats. The initial story reported regarding the discovery of COVID-19 involved the consumption of a bat, otherwise recognizable as an icon of Halloween culture and commonly used influence for Spirit Halloween.
In a world full of uncertainty, panic, and speculation it would seem the only company in a better place coming out of the pandemic this coming fall would be Spirit Halloween. They may not have started or created the virus, but it would appear they have too much steak in the matter to not even be considered a possible link to the COVID-19 outbreak.
