Mother's Day (along with every other special date) is often a really tough day when you are still desperately trying to have the baby you are longing for. There are constant reminders in shops, on TV, on social media and the marketing emails you receive on a daily basis.
I remember all too well that sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach on Mother's Day, wishing I was 'in the club'. It would be a sad reminder that last Mother's Day I'd hoped I'd have my baby by this Mother's Day. Everywhere I looked people were happily flaunting pictures of their precious little ones stating how lucky they were.
I understand how hard it is, so please know that you are not alone in how you are feeling, that it is completely normal to feel like that and that it's essential to look after yourself emotionally.
It is so important on triggering days like this to focus on self-care and the things you do have, rather than the things you don't. It is easier to cope with things when you are feeling stronger emotionally and taking care of yourself.
Below are some tips to help you get through Mother's Day. I know how tough it can be, so take small steps and do what you need to do to get through it.
Be kind to yourself — allow yourself to feel however you feel, don't beat yourself up over feeling sad/jealous/upset, it's ok and perfectly normal to feel these things. Just acknowledge it and do things that make you feel nice and that make you smile. It's so important to remember that you are not alone in how you are feeling.
Avoid social media – unfortunately, Mother's Day is one of the days of the year where social media is full of posts and pictures, so maybe have a day off scrolling Instagram and Facebook to protect yourself. By the time you log back on the posts should be old news.
Celebrate your own mums – it's the perfect day to focus on your own mums and making them feel special. Maybe book in doing something nice with your mum/mother in law, like a day trip, a meal out or afternoon tea. I'm sure they would love spending time with you and the focus being on them.
If you don't have a close relationship with your mums, they don't live locally or sadly they are not around anymore, you could have a day out together celebrating your relationship and having some time alone together. Plan a trip or something you've wanted to do for a while so that it is a nice day for you.
You could do something to celebrate and remember them. Maybe think about what you used to love to do together, light a candle, spend some time thinking about them in a happy way and celebrate the time you had with them.
- Speak to family members before (if you are comfortable to) to say you would prefer it if you didn't talk about babies, IVF, treatment etc as it is upsetting, and you want to focus on your mum. Maybe speak to someone you are very close to who could change the subject if it gets uncomfortable.
- Set a time limit to be there and create an excuse for you to leave at a certain time if you need to. That way you know you just have to keep it together for that amount of time before you can leave. It doesn't mean that you don't love your family, it's just that you're protecting yourself and your emotions.
- Nip to the loo for a breather if you're struggling. Take some deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. It will help to calm you and give you a few minutes to yourself.
- Plan in something you enjoy or that makes you smile for that day too, so you have something to look forward to.
If it's too hard to go for a family meal due to the way you are feeling or you're at a particular point in your cycle where you are feeling vulnerable and wobbly, maybe make your excuses and say you can't go. Explain how you feel, that you love them but it's hard to be out with a large group at the minute. You can arrange to see them separately to celebrate so that you are protecting yourself.
- Have a day out together celebrating your relationship and what you love about each other. Maybe think about places to go to that are not as child-friendly so that you don't have to worry about being surrounded by little ones all day.
- Maybe agree to limit the time you talk about babies and trying to get pregnant today, focus on you as a couple and what you love about each other.
- Recognise that you are doing all you can to become parents and that you can't expect any more of yourselves.
Think of the things you do have, not what you don't have. Write a thankful list for all the things in your life that are important/special that you are thankful for — close family, strong relationship, great friends, fulfilling job etc. It doesn't have to be big things, it is just good to focus on the positive things.
Use your support system — if you are having a bad day, call a friend or family member that understands and just say you are feeling sad and just need a hug or someone to listen to you. There are support groups that are a great source of support and understanding. Just click this link to join my Facebook support group 'Surviving Infertility'.

Q: Set the SelectedTab in ViewModel in WPF MVVM I have two tabs with grids. The grids are the same in each of the tab. When the user open a file I want the contents of the file go to the selected tab only. How do I set the binding for the selected tab? I'm thinking I can use the same view model. If the viewmodel SelectedTab is the same as the tab selection then the data will go on that tab.
This is my view
<TabControl DockPanel.Dock="Left" Margin="10" SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedIndex}">
    <TabItem Header="One">
        <views:ShowView x:Name="OneView" MaxWidth="1000"/>
    </TabItem>
    <TabItem Header="Two">
        <views:ShowView x:Name="TwoView" MaxWidth="1000"/>
    </TabItem>
</TabControl>

In my ViewModel I have
private int SelectedIndex { get; set; }

This is always never set. How do I get OneView and TwoView to know what the value of SelectedIndex is?

A: I assume the SelectedIndex property in your ViewModel is a number?
You can't bind a TabControl item (TabItem content) to an index, but TabControl also has a SelectedIndex property, so you can probably just change your binding to this:
<TabControl DockPanel.Dock="Left" Margin="10" SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedIndex}">
    ...

A: I followed this answer How to create tab-able content in WPF/C#?
In ResourceDictionary
<DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate" DataType="{x:Type vm:ViewModel}">
        <view:View />
 </DataTemplate>

In xaml
<TabControl DockPanel.Dock="Left" Margin="10" SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedIndex}"
                    ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplate}" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"/>

In MainWindowViewModel
  Items = new ObservableCollection<ViewModel>
                {
                    new View(0),
                    new View(1),
                    new View(2)
                };

Great blue heron fledgling in autumn.
The posture of this fledgling Great Blue Heron indicates that the Heron is on high-alert. The bird is very aware of it's surroundings and any possible predators nearby. In fact, this fledgling bolted skyward moments after this photo was taken. A Heron standing ramrod-straight such as this is not a relaxed bird at rest.
My practice is to use a natural-cover hide when photographing in the wild to remain unseen and not interfere with th wildlife , but sometimes – especially when moving from location to location – that isn't always possible. In the case of this photo, the Heron saw me and my kayak and, predictably, fled.
Thanks to Dawn for her recent Festival of Leaves: Week 6. I will miss Dawn's Festival of Leaves photos when our autumn slips into winter.
Thanks to Su for her (The) Changing Seasons Challenge. I have been a long-time follower of Su's blog and photos, and only recently discovered her charming challenge through a link on Cee's site..

Lovely image. Thank you for joining The Changing Seasons. It's wonderful to have people from all over sharing special moments that reflect their interests and experiences of each month.
Yeah even when we try to be unobtrusive, the birds are sensitive to our presence. Sometimes they can be so skittish at other time so fixed on their fishing they stand stock still no matter you are there. This young one does have that look of high alert.


Bluebird has adorable ways of saying things...for some reason, she just cannot say granola. She says "I want a banana bar". I break it down for her "GRA-NOLA" She sayd "GRA- NOLA, banana bar".
yea, its me that can't say it. "OK, one bowl full of yucky germs, comin right up".
I am sure that I will post regarding the Toy Story 5th Birthday party we are planning for Boy. I was sure he was going to want a Dinosaur party, and then he briefly said something about another super hero party...however, he finally decided on Toy Story. When Boy was 2, he loved Woody and dressed in a cowboy hat all the time. It seems his interest has shifted to Buzz lightyear. I never had a party in the cowboy theme because it didn't work out, so I was excited to be able to play on this theme and bit. There are lots of great ideas out there. We decided on a Brunch because my cousin will be working that night and wanted to attend. I love food. I love cooking and eating and I want to make sure that the kids AND adults will love eating, so the menu should be fun.
The plan so far is good food, coffee and some of the herbal lemonade that my cousin and I have made into an art.
I am not a game girl...but I saw some stuff on pinterest involving PVC pipe guns that shoot mini marshmallows, and a black light room, and a pinyata...all which sound like good fun.
A trail mix and candy bar, or both.
I went to http://www.birthdaydirect.com/ and got great prices on plates, cups, tattoos, cowboy hats, badges and stickers.
Usually our parties consist of kids running around in the yard, playing on the swings and slide and driving the jeep. We were going to rent a bouncy house this year, but the price was the same as a trampoline, so we bought a trampoline (photos to come).
In the meantime, I wanted to brag on me and my fabulous hubs for the invite. I had this idea (not even from pinterest) of a invite on an etch-a-sketch. I sketched it out for my husband, with a Woody, Buzz and Rex...he went even further and added Boy into the image as well. He then literally made it look like an etch-a-sketch single line drawing. Hooray for creative husbands and Adobe Illustrator.
It took him about a half hour to create, then I printed on white card stock at staples and the total cost was about $16.
roast chicken, not spatchcocked, but coated in herbs and stuffed with lemons and celery.
Drain potatoes and toss in a bowl with 4 tbsp dried polenta (corn meal), salt and pepper.
In a pan, sautee 10 cloves of garlic (minced) and 1 spring of rosemary (chopped) until tender.
Toss coated potatoes in sautee pan and let it cook for a minute or two. Then thow on the bottom rack of the oven for 10 minutes, then flip, and cook 10 minutes more.
They should be crispy on the outside and tender inside. Easy and delicious. Try them. YUM!
My grandfather turned 90 years old and we wanted to celebrate this very special day with him. We decided to head to Florida for a quick trip to go to his party. However, as you will see below, we filled our quick trip with exciting activities at every turn.
We flew in on Wednesday and flew home on Monday. The flights went smoothly (we are fortunate because so far, our kids LOVE to fly).
On Thursday, the big kids went horseback riding with my mom and step dad. Daddy and I took Buttercup and met my dad and his family for lunch. That afternoon, I took the kids and met my dear friend Jerry and her grandson, Maddox. Maddox and Boy share a birthday, only 1 hour apart. They call themselves birthday buddies.
Thursday evening Mickey took the kids swimming in my mom's ice cold pool. Funny how kids don't care how cold it is. My brother came to my mom's house and we ate Pa Ken's famous wings. Yum-O!!! He has the perfect blend of spicy and sweet and when I get the recipe, I may post it (if he will let go of his secrets).
My brother played with the kids and they think he is the funniest guy ever.
Thursday night my dear friend Jenny came over with her girls and it was a joy to watch the kids play. Jenny and I met at the bus stop when I was 6 and she was 5. We have been friends ever since. Her youngest daughter is only 3 months older than Bluebird, so we have big hopes that their friendship will last as long and be as close as ours is.
After the kids went to sleep, Jenny and I went to a local wine bar and sipped on wine and ate truffled popcorn. We ran into an old neighborhood friend and chatted the evening away. love friendships that can pick up where they left off and they never truly have any gaps. Jenny and I talk every morning, but the friend we ran into has not seen us in 18 years. Life keeps moving and you just move with it, but the loves and friendships you create along the way are always there waiting for you.
On Friday, we had a Disney adventure. It was a great day. Jenny and her girls met us and so we had 5 adults (me, Daddy, Pa, Mamatoo, and Jenny) and 5 kids. I really focused the majority of the trip on kids only...and it made for the a mostly smooth trip. The kids got to meet 4 princesses and Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. I was disappointed the Rapunzel and Woody's lines were so long, but the kids did not seem to mind missing out on them. We also rode about 12 rides. We had such a lovely day that we decided that Disney will be something we try to do more often on our trips home.
After Disney, if you can believe it, I had my mom drop me off in downtown Lakeland, where I changed clothes and went and watched my brother's Improv Addicts. They were funny and it was really great that I finally had the opportunity to see him perform. My brother is hilarious (and I am not just saying that because he is my blood). The guy has a true talent for making people laugh.
Saturday my mom and Pa Ken took the kids to T-Rex Cafe and Daddy and me took my Dad's wife and son to lunch. On Saturday night, the entire Johnson clan (I have a big family) all met at Red Lobster and ate dinner and caught up. Buttercup was cranky and tired so Daddy had to sit in the corner and get her to sleep. She finally faded and we enjoyed our seafood. The big kids had a great time laughing with Uncle Bo the entire evening. I have never seen them laugh so hard.
On Sunday, I made Sunday dinner for the family and then we all headed to the church to celebrate my grandfather's 90th birthday. Almost all of my cousins were there, with the exception of three. We had a great time letting all the extended cousins run around and enjoy each other. I am so fortunate I have a healthy grandfather and I plan to live to be 90 myself.
After the party, the church allowed us to have a special dedication service for Buttercup and my grandfather got to dedicate her. This was very very special.
I felt blessed to be home and have all the time filled with people I love. We truly had a wonderful time.
Monday morning we made the flight home. It was nice to be back in the brisk air and sit in our cozy home, where we immediately napped. But we miss Florida already.

Ahead Of 55th Anniversary, Rubio Honors Bay Of Pigs Veterans On Senate Floor
Washington, D.C. – Ahead of this Sunday's 55th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered a floor speech to honor the 1,500 brave exiles that made up Assault Brigade 2506.
A transcript of Rubio's full remarks is available below. A video is available here, and a broadcast quality video is available for download here.
Senate Floor Speech
https://youtu.be/KbUxPCqOs2g
Senator Marco Rubio: "Coming up on the 17th will mark the anniversary of a significant event in history. It's an event that many in our government over the years have been eager to forget. And is often cited as a blemish on our history, but I beg to differ in some ways. The result wasn't what we wanted, but I think we have a lot to be proud of and I think it has become increasingly important to remember.
"Fifty-five years ago this Sunday – on the 17th of April in 1961 – there were 1,500 brave volunteers who embarked upon a mission to liberate Cuba from Fidel Castro's oppressive grip. This force was made up primarily of Cuban exiles, but they were a diverse group from all backgrounds within Cuban society.
"They knew they would be badly outnumbered and that they face extraordinary odds, and yet these men stormed the beaches of Playa Giron at the Bay of Pigs. They did it for what at the time was their country, Cuba. They did it for their families. They did it for freedom itself.
"Over the next four days, nearly 100 members of the Brigada de Asalto 2506, Brigade 2506, they lost their lives, nearly 100 members, included in that number, by the way, were four American pilots and five others who were executed. The majority were captured and imprisoned for many months and years in inhumane conditions.
"Though the invasion failed, the Bay of Pigs invasion, it was a triumph of courage for the brave Cuban exiles at the mission's helm, and it serves today as a reminder of an era when the United States government actually embraced America's role as "watchman on the walls of freedom."
"Since taking power those many years ago, the anti-American Castro regime has never relented in its attempts to undermine our security and suppress its own people. More than one million Cubans have voted with their feet, fleeing the island in search of political freedom or better economic conditions, we just discussed that a moment ago, and often coming here to the United States.
"Many of these refugees are my neighbors, and they're my friends, and they're my constituents. My own parents left Cuba several years before Castro took over, but their lives were nonetheless marred by his rule as well. Their relationships with family and friends, and access to their homeland, were abruptly severed.
"For the nearly 1,500 Cuban exiles that made up Assault Brigade 2506, Fidel Castro was not the leader of their country, he was what he's always been, a thief and an imposter. They knew liberty was a God-given right, and they needed to do all in their power to reclaim it.
"Their story says as much about their own resilience as it does about America. The very building I stand in, and the proud body I am a member of, would not exist were it not for men like them over 150 years before.
"America's Declaration of Independence says of mankind's inalienable rights that, '[W]henever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.'
"Those who undertook the Bay of Pigs invasion fought for their country, not against it. Their cause was a humanitarian cause. A noble cause. In many ways, an American cause.
"Many of those who were captured were eventually released and exiled to the United States. They came here with nothing – not a penny, and in many cases no English skills. They went to work and embraced America's blessings, but they never forgot their homeland.
"Some made it their life's work to promote the cause of a free Cuba. Others went to work on different endeavor, to provide for their families, but dedicated countless hours as faithful volunteers of the cause. Many of them, many of these former members of the Brigade 2506, would take up arms for the United States, serving in our armed forces with the same bravery and distinction they showed at the Bay of Pigs. In doing so, they served as teachers to an entire community. Today in Miami, for example, a Brigade 2506 monument and museum now exist as much to commemorate these heroes as to educate others.
"Far from being forgotten, the example of these brave men has inspired others to carry on their work. Their legacy lives, and it lives on among those of us who follow in their footsteps by making their cause of a free Cuba our cause.
"Today the spirit of those who paid the ultimate price is alive and well in the Brigade's Veterans Association, which continues to stand firmly against the Castro brothers' dictatorship.
"Their spirit is also alive inside of Cuba, represented by all those who stand up to the repressive regime and its beatings, detentions and suppressions of speech. A strong dissident movement within the island refuses to be silenced, demanding change and the right of every human being to be free.
"Sadly, this administration has betrayed that spirit of dissension by treating the Castro Government as if it were democratically elected. The President's actions have only motivated the dictatorship to increase in its very nature.
"But as long as the spirit of the brigade lives on, the dream of a free Cuba will never die.
"Following the Bay of Pigs invasion, in December of 1962, President Kennedy delivered a speech in Miami honoring those who fought, and accepting an honor from them in return: the accepted the flag of their brigade.
"President Kennedy said, 'I can assure you that this flag will be returned to this brigade in a free Havana.' That assurance was not made by a man, but by a nation. It came with no expiration date.
"I believe we as Americans owe it to the fearless men who fought at the Bay of Pigs to ensure that their flag, which last touched the shores of Cuba 55 years ago this week, is one day returned to a free Havana, and that everything that flag represents – freedom, sacrifice, the dreams of the Cuban people – remains the cause of the United States.
"To the veterans of Assault Brigade 2506, thank you for your service and God bless you.
"Madam President, I yield the floor."


It's been a week since my last entry. Not something I'm proud of but I've been really preoccupied. I'm closing in on the trial date for my divorce (November 19th). Even though I have a lawyer, and I'm a former one myself, it doesn't change the emotional stress or time-consuming preparation that go with it. Add to that the fact that I'm co-trustee, along with my sister, for assets managed on behalf of our 93-year-old Mother in this economy…well, watching the portfolio decline day after day is no barrel of laughs either.
Well, today I read someone else's blog about the importance of preparation and thinking in advance. Seems the theory is that if you prepare in advance in your mind for possible outcomes….you're less likely to be surprised or caught unaware. So I tried to apply that, in hindsight, to where I find myself in the moment. I asked myself if forethought would have changed anything about these two challenges I now face, simultaneously.
Did I mention I'm also recovering from a torn tendon in my ankle…7 weeks in a cast…and now 8 weeks of physical therapy ahead of me?
Not exactly the way I wanted to enter into marriage.
As for the whole "Could I have planned for the emotional let down and pain of parting with someone I thought would be my best friend for life?" possibility…I don't think so. I think if you go into love full throttle forward, with no holding back, you run the risk of getting your heart stomped…but what a ride if you don't… or until you do! I don't think I'd want to play it safe and miss the fullness and richness of that experience for the safety of reserving some of my feelings for a possible rainy day.
As for the trust assets?
Well, it's only one-quarter of them that's heading south. The other 75% are pretty solid, so in some sense there was some advanced thinking and planning or it would all be heading in that direction. As for the severity of this downturn or the longevity of it…Life is chance and there are no guarantees. If worrying about money is the most important thing we've got going for us… well, perhaps we're missing the whole point of this ride called Life.
It's higher values, acceptance and trust.
I think that if we devote our energy to being the best we can be and seeking the highest good for all concerned in every situation we will automatically be prepared in advance for any occurrence. That appraoch makes it possible to live fully in the Now.
If we accept that what shows up in our lives..the seemingly good, bad and the ugly…are all for us to learn from, then we have no regrets, but instead look upon every occurrencey as a potential growth experience.
If we trust that the Universe (and our higher Self) know what we need and will provide it, we can anticipate the best, instead of preparing for the worst, and in so doing create a more meaningful outcome.
I love to play with words. The first letters of higher values, acceptance and trust are HAT.
Next time you're in a situation such as I am in right now…lots of stress and challenge…just change HATs. Take off the worry hat and go for the Hhighest good for all concerned while Aaccepting what is and Trusting what will be.
I just did and I feel better already.
I had an interesting experience this past week. I wrote a blog entry about Barack Obama that spurred a reader to comment and share his opposing view. His thoughts were intelligent and well thought out…and even though I didn't agree with him I did reply. Which prompted him to send a second and more lengthy comment. By this time, we had exchanged enough thoughts that the distance between our positions had closed somewhat.
It was gratifying to turn what felt like an adversary into a friend.
But there was something even more important about our exchanges. While he is voting for Barack Obama, and I still don't know what I'll do two days from now, he made a statement in his second exchange that stunned me. He said that he was voting for Obama with reservations; however, McCain was not an option for him and to vote for a third candidate, such as the Green Party, would effectively be like staying home.
It got me to thinking about the countless people I have spoken with and e-mailed with over the past 6 months who aren't really voting for either Obama or McCain out of conviction, but rather simply because one or the other is the lesser of two evils. Or, if that statement is too strong, then because neither is great but they're all we've got.
Which is the part that stuns me.
I suspect that if everyone who isn't thrilled with either of these two men would actually go into the voting booth on November 4th and all vote for another choice….we'd probably elect that other choice! And so what is frustrating to the point of madness is that "they"…the powers that still be…have us believing that we only get to choose from the options they present.
I write a great deal about our awakening consciousness and the profound changes that are taking place in our world as a result of that awakening. I think this election is a perfect example of how things have been and how we can affect how they will be going forward.
Maybe for the moment, because we have awakened slowly and this one got by us. But it can and will be different from Now on…if you believe that you get to create the reality you want and do not have to settle for someone else's version.
I know what my reader was saying when he said that voting for the Green Party candidate or some other third option would be like staying home. I know what he meant but I disagree, and I think he's actually helped me make up my mind. I get to choose….it's my vote…and as the old saying goes…every journey begins with one small step.
I've set out on a journey for real change. The kind that will create a world where personal autonomy, personal responsibility, and personal integrity are the norm. If I can't make it happen on November 4th…I can at least take one small step on that journey by voting not for their reality but for mine.


You may or may not be able to tell, but the research I did for this design was watching Disney's The Jungle Book. XD I just can't help it. I'm a Disney kid at heart! It still reads Jungle to me, though.
My pinky is snake skin. I started with a basecoat of Cherish by China Glaze, then sponged on a really light layer of Hook and Line by China Glaze to dull the metallic and let the stamping stand out. I then stamped a mixture of Awake, Devotion, and Passion; all 3 by China Glaze. the stamp I used was BM-215 from the Bundle Monster 2011 Set.
I love the color combo of the scale and how some colors stand out more than others. Reminds me of a real snake! Eek!
My ring finger represents the trees in the jungle. I started with Desert Sun by China Glaze them stamped Street Chic by China Glaze over top using W113 from the Winstonia 1st Gen Set. I then tried adding leaves using W119 from the same Winstonia Set. I started the leaves with a couple stamps of Holly-Day by China Glaze but then decided to lighten it up with one stamp of Just in Lime! by Sally Hansen Insta-Dri.
I started with a base of Gaga For Green by China Glaze, then applied my applique. To create the bananas, I first stamped CH42 from the 2013 Summer Cheeky Set with Street Chic by China Glaze, then filled in the bananas with a tiny paintbrush and Lightening by Sally Hansen Insta-Dri.
Vines on my index finger. Think Tarzan and George of the Jungle. I started with a base of Starboard by China Glaze. I then stamped MASH-50 (Mash set 2) with Holly-Day by China Glaze and Just in Lime! by Sally Hansen Insta-Dri.
And my thumb has Tiger print. I can't really say that I'm all that happy with this one. At times I am, but at other I have to resist the urge to remove it. I think I needed to practice this one a little more. But there is always room for improvement, right?
I started with a base of Sun Kissed by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. Then I painted the striped with brown acrylic paint. I thought it looked al ittle plain, and I know that tigers usually have some white to their coats. So I added a little French White Creme by Wet N' Wild Wild Shine.
I hope you all liked this design. :) Enjoy!


Our Fibers program offers a rich intersection, not only between faculty and students, but also through our promotion of creative research rich in cross-cultural, historical and contemporary issues in fiber work as it relates to contemporary art, craft and design practices. Students explore a wide range of approaches to surface and structure by engaging in the intersection of traditional innovations and technological applications. Courses in the Fibers program challenge sensibilities while cultivating collaboration, aesthetic development and critical thinking around material culture and making.
Under the guidance of nationally and internationally recognized faculty members and a dedicated area technician, students enjoy active mentorship and professional opportunities. Supplementing the studio experience, students are connected to internships (with industry, textile production studios or fiber artists) and the student organization, the Fibers Collective.
The program offers access to large, well-equipped studios and professional instruction to support studies in structures: on and off-loom strategies (weaving, spinning, felting, netting, knitting); and surfaces: safe dye practices utilizing resists, chemical and natural resources, direct applications (embroidery, marbling, screen-printing, silk painting, cyanotype); and experimentations with combinations of techniques. Students learn how to use and maintain a computerized APQS long-arm quilting machine, computerized knitting machines, floor and compu-dobby looms and a large format digital fabric printer.

Ford Bronco Sport engineer reveals SUV's smallest design secrets
Phoebe Wall Howard, Detroit Free Press
November 28, 2021, 10:14 AM ·13 min read
John Carl Faust, the son of a drill sergeant, never served in the U.S. Army but the military has been a big part of his background and shapes what he does even now.
The engineering psychology expert spent years as a civilian working beside an elite team of Iraq War veterans to design military vehicles to improve how they're used and maintained.
His contribution wouldn't be on the battlefield. But it would help protect those who were.
And now he is applying what he has learned at Ford Motor Co., most recently in the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. The off-road compact sport utility vehicle, designed to challenge the Jeep Cherokee and dominating sales in 2021, has invited scrutiny from anything and everyone trying to figure out the winning recipe.
John Carl Faust, an ergonomics engineer at Ford who worked on the 2021 Bronco Sport, is shown here Feb. 22, 2021 in Dearborn holding a backpack similar to what's used by soldiers. This equipment inspired a strap-based storage system in the Bronco Sport that Faust patented.
Faust, 56, of Farmington Hills, spent 11 years at General Dynamics in Michigan as a "human factors" engineer — someone who has psychology training and knowledge about human abilities and human limitations relevant to design and uses that scientific research to improve technology, consumer products, transportation.
Ford hired Faust six years ago and he has spent most of that period working on the Bronco Sport.
He understands how people work, mentally and physically, and how machines work, and how they interact. Previously, he was a member of the pit stop engineering team that focused on designing vehicles that could be fixed quickly and put back into battle.
Faust left the military defense industry supplier but he didn't leave behind his focus on military design when he started working on the Bronco Sport.
He offers a glimpse at how Ford managers decided not to kill an unusual feature that industry analysts say never should have made it into production — too cool and not essential. Plus, he offers a peek behind the curtain at overall design strategies.
Designing around the sun
Faust's team is responsible for all sorts of design elements inside the vehicle. For example, the group evaluates the legibility of text on displays — making sure the size of letters are designed large enough and the display contrast is bright enough so drivers of all ages can see the information.
When sun is pouring into the vehicle, Faust and his team make sure the center display is positioned so that information is not washed out — so a driver can see a clear image of the screen no matter what the sun is doing.
"We also work to position the (instrument) cluster and determine the curvature of the cluster lens for the same reason, to avoid sunlight washing out the driver's view of the cluster instruments," Faust said. "Most people don't realize that you can design out most display reflections and glare."
The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport compact SUV went on sale in late in 2020. During its first full year of production, sales are exceeding those of direct competitor Jeep Cherokee.
The group also works with the color and materials team to make sure the materials used on the instrument panel, doors and floor console don't reflect light into the driver's eyes or cause reflection on the inside of the windshield — a condition called veiling glare, which can blind the driver to what is outside the vehicle, he said.
Sure, drivers know that when they get into a vehicle they find a comfortable seated position. Creating that experience takes "an incredible amount of work," Faust said.
Lights, cameras, cockpit
And while he doesn't work with mannequins in vehicle models to set up driver positions, he does help to determine where the controls and displays are placed so that anyone can reach them comfortably and intuitively — whether it's door locks or ignition or radio controls or a touch screen. People might best understand what he does as ergonomics, helping to create a design that accommodates drives of every size.
"All the checks for reach, visibility, clearance, comfort in use, logic of operation, contrast and legibility in the cockpit," Faust said, that's his team. "And we get to do the cool stuff, too, features like integrating the bottle opener (in the rear hatch) or helping the stowage guy with the hidden storage bin under the second row seats or the adjustable floodlights on the liftgate to illuminate the back of the Bronco Sport at night when you need to set up your campsite."

As someone who has a master's degree in human factors, the discipline of understanding human capabilities, Faust explores what's possible.
And that's when he came up with the idea to install durable straps into the Bronco Sport, what is used on military gear commonly called MOLLE, which is pronounced "Molly" and stands for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment.
John Carl Faust, an ergonomics engineer formerly with a defense industry supplier General Dynamics, is shown here Feb. 22, 2021 in Dearborn demonstrating how the unique storage straps work in the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. His name is on the patent.
"I'd seen it everywhere while I was working at General Dynamics Land Systems," Faust said. "All over their military gear, all over their clothing. I used to wear it myself when evaluating a vehicle. I would put on an armor vest and a fighting load carrier and make sure whatever we were designing would work for a soldier when they were in the vehicle."
Soldier tech for adventurers
He has an assault pack covered in MOLLE straps.
"This is a 24-hour pack that soldiers would use when they're in combat. It is just big enough to carry just what they need and nothing more — extra rounds, a First-Aid kit, MREs," said Faust, whose name is on the patent for the Bronco Sport design.
The straps have been offered as part of aftermarket slip-on seat covers, he noted. But Ford wanted to integrate the design into the seat, creating something unique and offer it standard on the baby Bronco. This way, people can carry their water bottles and flashlights and hook their gear to it while knowing the items would remain secure.
Ford describes it this way:
A grid design of 1-inch straps with a 1-inch space between each and 1.5 inches separating the vertical seams. Flexible material is used for the seatbacks and straps. There's also a zippered pouch in place of a traditional map pocket, integrated above the grid of nylon straps for storage.
"That was a lot of work," Faust said. "We had to keep refining the idea. The first iteration didn't work so well. We found we had to have a flexible backing on the seat and the straps — both had to give. The seat team found the materials for the strap and the backing that allowed the flex."
They knew they wanted those straps low on the seatback but the team had the map pocket. If the MOLLE strap was attached to the map pocket, attaching something to it would pull the map pocket open and cause it to sag.
"We wanted something that would hold up over time. The seat team actually came up with the idea of creating the zippered pouch above the straps and actually carved space out of the seat to provide more room for stuff in the pouch without intruding into ... knee space," Faust said. "The seat team actually carved space out of the seat."

Without support from managers, this unusual feature never would have made it to consumers.
Inventions that don't die
"I had this idea but it would've remained just an idea if Gerardo (Diaz Paraedes) had not been able to design how to attach it to the seat, if Jim (Rippy) didn't push to get funding to make sure we could get this paid for. And Manzil Kale, the stowage engineer, hadn't done all his evaluations," Faust said.
John Carl Faust, seen here on Feb. 22, 2021 in Dearborn, poses with the Bronco Sport and his tactical bag that helped inspire the MOLLE straps in the vehicle.
"This is typically something you'd see on a show car and never see again, because it costs a lot," Faust said. "Ford was focused on how do we make this vehicle do more, be more than a typical SUV. We had brainstorming sessions. They said we need ideas. 'How do we add value for the outdoorsman?'"
The Ford patent for the MOLLE design lists an international lineup including Faust, Paredes, João Marcos, Nicole Rush, Keith Rogman and Patrick Vanderpool. Javier Bartolo, a Ford engineer in Mexico, played a key role too.
The Ford Bronco Sport has a zippered pouch in place of a traditional map pocket, integrated above the grid of nylon straps for storage.
Still, ideas that come from "lower level" engineers require support of others, he said.
Rippy, the Bronco Sport program manager, Adnan Khan, vehicle engineering manager, and Adrian Aguirre, chief engineer, were intensely focused, Faust said. "That's why these items, which normally would've been costed out, wound up in the vehicle. They cared about it and wanted to make it exceptional."
'Dedication was unmatched'
Faust has earned, over the years, a reputation for excellence.
"I had the good fortune to first meet John Carl in Graduate School at Embry Riddle in 2001. … John Carl immediately stood out for his strong desire to learn and implicit attention to details. We collaborated on several projects throughout our graduate student careers and shared a common interest in our goal to make a profound difference in the realm of human factors," Tony Bartolone, launch project engineer at NASA Kennedy Space Center, wrote of Faust on LinkedIn in 2009.
"Through the years he demonstrated himself on numerous occasions as being someone I could rely on both intellectually and professionally as a source of knowledge and motivation."
'Normandy … where he died'
The present drive is very much influenced by the past, Faust said.
Not only did his father serve in the Korean War as a drill sergeant, but his grandfather was a lieutenant colonel in World War II. Faust was named after his great uncle, Carl Alexander, who died in Normandy in July 1944.
"I think about my great uncle a lot. I was born on June 6, the anniversary of the invasion of Normandy," Faust said. "My dad was a very powerful guy, very intelligent and driven. He pushed me really hard and demanded a lot from me."

But the focus on team comes from the World War II veteran who died in France in battle, Faust said. "I have learned to have a service ethic and think about the team first. That's what he did when he died. I traveled to Normandy to see where he died. I went to his gravesite."
Ford engineer John Carl Faust was named for his great uncle, Carl Alexander, who died in Normandy in July 1944. The military has been a strong influence on Faust, who worked on the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport.
There, Alexander is buried on the bluff above Omaha Beach along with more than 9,000 other soldiers.
"It's a very powerful theme for me," Faust said. "Nothing gets done without the team. My great uncle was a second lieutenant leading a group of men, early in U.S. Army's experience in Normandy. It was difficult terrain … fields with tall hedgerows like a berm of dirt with trees growing out of it. Difficult to maneuver men and armor through that difficult terrain. And the Germans had years to set up defenses."
Alexander was awarded a Silver Star posthumously, said Faust, who did extensive research on the circumstances of the recognition.
"What moves me the most is that in those moments after he was wounded, and he knew he was going to die, he was thinking about his men. He was trying to help them rather than thinking about himself," Faust said. "I think focusing on others is one of the best attributes a person can have rather than being self-centered and focused on oneself. Good soldiers care about other people. Good engineers care about other people."
And that, Faust said, is why he insists on naming his team — always.
At General Dynamics, he credited Bill Goin, Bob Appledorn, James Ealy, Chad Paul and Dan Reed "for one of the best experiences" of his life.
"All these guys were so good at what they were doing," Faust said. "I didn't want to let them down."
This latest behind-the-scenes effort on the Bronco Sport is no small feat.
GoPro, Yeti compatible
Mark Douglas, president of Avis Ford in Southfield, said the unique design feature is further evidence that Ford worked to understand its consumers and how they would use the off-road vehicle.
"They thought of everything when they designed this vehicle," Douglas said. "It could be a GoPro camera or attaching your Yeti cup (to the MOLLE straps). Whatever you need to clip on. The idea is that you want to put things at the user's fingertips and make everything easily accessible. Ford really thought about the engineering of this vehicle. They didn't try to be the pretty girl in the room, and just go after Jeep on styling. Ford truly thought about all the different things the vehicle will be used for."
Mark Douglas, president of Avis Ford in Southfield, sees Ranger appeal increasingly growing. He is seen here in the showroom in July 2020.
As a dealer, Thad Szott said he appreciates that Ford designers are looking at simple, quiet, functional details in every small space.
"Even better that this particular hook was influenced by our U.S. military heritage," said Szott, who sells Ford in Holly, Toyota in Waterford and Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in White Lake, Highland and New Hudson.
RJ Magiera, a salesman at Szott Ford in Holly who is seen here Nov. 15, 2021 beside a photo of founder Henry Ford, said the Ford Bronco Sport has design elements meant for campers and fishermen.
Meanwhile, RJ Magiera of Grand Blanc, a sales and leasing consultant at Szott Ford, said the Bronco Sport design touch reminds him of his days in the U.S. Air Force, having served seven years as a calibration technician on active duty that ended in 1998.
"It's a great idea because the vehicle is designed to take you on an adventure," Magiera said. "You can access things for your mountain bike or rigging for fishing equipment or campaign gear — it's just all set up to be easily accessible."
RJ Magiera, seen here as a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant in 1995 at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam, said design elements in the new Ford Bronco Sport remind him of military trucks.
In the military, he said, "anytime we were in the bigger trucks going on convoy-type stuff, you'll see MOLLE-type straps for hanging your gear. It allows you to set up what you need, when you need it."

Eric Noble, professor of vehicle technology at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, and a product development consultant at The CarLab, said he was stunned by Ford's decision not to eliminate the cool feature.
No 'vanishing act'
"Somehow Ford has managed with these to be the exception to the rule," Noble said. "The rule for 20 years has been this stuff turns up on concept cars and has vanished by production. Ford gets credit not only for preventing the vanishing act but also for delivering something that isn't a watered down, plastic-y cheap or otherwise useless feature."
Human-centered design led to special Bronco Sport features, such as seatback MOLLE strap system to help users safely and easily transport gear. This is a pre-production photo.
Noble said small details illustrate a bigger picture and help explain the early success of the Bronco Sport.
"A focused product team can actually deliver highly differentiated product even in a crowded segment, if the corporation allows them to do it," Noble said. "As an industry, they like to show stuff on show cars. But when the consumer is stepping up like Charlie Brown, ready to kick the football, Lucy pulls it away. Ford didn't. Good for them. Good for them."
Bronco Sport vs. Jeep Cherokee
So far this year, Ford is beating its direct competitor, the Jeep Cherokee, by nearly 10,000 vehicles over the same time period.
Through October, Bronco Sport has sold 90,405 while Jeep Cherokee has sold 80,581 vehicles. For July through September, Jeep sold 11,592 Cherokees while Ford sold 20,690 Bronco Sports, according to industry sales data.
The 2021 Bronco Sport base model totals $28,155 including fees, while the 2022 model starts at $28,760. The SUV is built in Mexico.

A previously undetected layer in the cornea, the clear window at the front of the human eye, has been discovered by scientists at The University of Nottingham.
This new layer, called the Dua's Layer after Professor Harminder Dua who discovered it, could help surgeons to dramatically improve outcomes for patients undergoing corneal grafts and transplants.
"This is a major discovery that will mean that ophthalmology textbooks will literally need to be re-written. Having identified this new and distinct layer deep in the tissue of the cornea, we can now exploit its presence to make operations much safer and simpler for patients," said Dua, Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences.
The cornea is a clear protective lens on the front of the eye through which light enters the eye. Before this study, scientists believed the cornea to be comprised of five layers. These layers, from front to back are the corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, the corneal stroma, Descemet's membrane and the corneal endothelium.
The new layer, described in the journal Ophthalmology, is located at the back of the cornea between the corneal stroma and Descemet's membrane. The whole cornea is approximately 550 microns, or 0.5 mm, thick, with the newly discovered layer making up about 15 microns. Despite its relative thinness, the Dua's layer is incredibly tough and strong enough to be able to withstand one and a half to two bars of pressure.
To prove the existence of the layer, the researchers simulated human corneal transplants and grafts using eyes donated to eye banks for research purposes. They injected tiny bubbles into the cornea, gently separating the different layers. The separated layers were then subjected to electron microscopy, which allowed the scientists to study them at many thousand times their actual size.
By understanding the location and properties of the Dua's layer, surgeons will be better able to identify where in the cornea these bubbles are occurring. The scientists being able to inject a bubble next to the Dua's layer means that the layer's strength will make it less prone to tearing. This means a better outcome for the patient.
This discovery will advance understanding for scientists and doctors about the number of diseases of the cornea, including corneal hydrops, a bulging of the cornea caused by fluid build-up that occurs in patients with keratoconus (conical deformity of the cornea.

I just discovered that I, too, am among the ranks of this particular group of people, those who had a mother who loved herself far more than she could ever love her children, a mother who crippled and abused her children with her Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Though this description sounds like healthy self-esteem run amuck, NPD has little in common with true self-esteem. People with healthy self-esteem love and value themselves as MUCH as they love and value others. In contrast, people with NPD value themselves MORE than they value others—in fact, they put themselves WAY above everyone else—and have no regard at all for the rights and the feelings of others.

Larsen secures $450K for Western's longhouse-style building
Funding will provide a kitchen, furnishings

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen secured an additional $450,000 in federal funding for Western Washington University to use for its planned Coast Salish-style Longhouse. University President Sabah Randhawa said they plan to use the funding to build a kitchen in the House of Healing.
"The kitchen for the longhouse both will provide the opportunity for tribes to share culture, but also to practice what's called food sovereignty — that is the ability to create those recipes and eat those foods that have historically been a staple of the local, Indigenous people's diets," Larsen said.

Last fall, the university secured $4.5 million from the state and an additional $500,000 was donated by the Jamestown, Muckleshoot, Swinomish, Stillaguamish, Nooksack and other tribes, along with the support of the Mount Baker Foundation, WECU and Whatcom County. That funding secured the construction of the basic structure for the longhouse, but not the furnishings.
"Equally critical is the money that we needed for equipment and furnishing, and really what is needed to build a community," Randhawa said. "The federal funding will really enable us to do so."
Randhawa said one of the most important aspects from his perspective is it will make Native American students feel more at home and part of a community, and he hopes that it will attract more students from tribal communities.

The Maybach - regardless of whether in version 57 or 62 - represents the pinnacle of modern automotive engineering. Refining such a luxury sedan is very special and therefore BRABUS uses only its very best engineers, technicians, designers and upholsterers to work on this project.
BRABUS adds even more new, exclusive highlights to the interior of the luxury sedan. The interior designers from BRABUS created an interior crafted from the finest leather and Alcantara, further enhanced by color-contrasted decorative seams. More than 1.2 kilometers of the finest thread are used in the waffle-design leather upholstery of the driveshaft tunnel. It is combined with custom-tailored BRABUS floor mats made from the finest lambskin.
The BRABUS developers further designed additional interesting features for the standard entertainment system of the Maybach. The 16:9 color monitors of the BRABUS equipment are integrated into the back of the front seatbacks and measure 15.2 inches (production: 9 inches).
At the push of a button the Maybach is transformed into a luxurious office on wheels: The monitors serve as computer screens for a computer custom-developed for use in a car. It features an 80 Gigabyte hard drive and is connected to the Internet at up to 1.5 times the speed of ISDN using a W-LAN and a fourplex GPRS router. For comfortable operation the system features a handy wireless keyboard and a wireless optical gyro mouse.
A USB 2.0 port harmoniously integrated into the center console allows connecting peripherals such as printers or digital cameras.
To stay online even outside the car the BRABUS communication specialists integrated an IBM X-series notebook into an electrically operated drawer in the trunk. The notebook is also connected via W-LAN to the car's computer network.
An additional 6-disc DVD changer rounds out the BRABUS interior for the Maybach.
Externally a Maybach refined by BRABUS can be distinguished by its custom-tailored BRABUS Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels with 21-inch diameter. The fully polished multi-piece wheels with six double spokes fill out the wheel houses of the Maybach perfectly. The rims come in size 9.5Jx21 on the front axle and in size 11Jx21 in the rear axle. Dunlop contributes high-performance tires in size 285/40 R 21 on the front axle and in size 325/35 R 21 in the rear.
The BRABUS air suspension unit lowers the ride height of the Maybach by about 15 millimeters without compromising its unique ride comfort.
BRABUS further refines the elegant lines of the Maybach with two auxiliary headlights integrated stylishly into the production front apron using two precise-fitting inserts. The auxiliary headlights function as daytime running lights.
Its 550-hp / 405-kW twelve-cylinder bi-turbo engine makes the Maybach a powerful car ex factory. BRABUS makes the sedan even more superior with the BRABUS SV12 bi-turbo increased-displacement engine using the tried and proven method of increasing displacement, in this case from standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters.
To facilitate the increase in displacement BRABUS fits the engine with a special crankshaft with longer stroke, precision-balanced piston rods and larger pistons. In addition the bore is increased and the cylinder heads are re-machined. Also part of the conversion are custom camshafts, newly programmed engine electronics and an exhaust system with metal catalysts, and dual oval-shaped exhaust tips.
After the conversion the twelve-cylinder bi-turbo engine delivers a maximum power output of 640 hp / 471 kW at 5,100 rpm and a gigantic peak torque of 1,026 Nm, available from 1,750 rpm.
Performance of the luxury sedan benefits accordingly: With BRABUS SV 12 engine the Maybach 57 accelerates bin just 4.9 seconds from 0 - 100 km/h. Top speed is an electronically limited 300 km/h. BRABUS exclusively uses ARAL high-performance lubricants in engine, automatic transmission and rear-axle differential

Q: Why is only firefox behaving like I want it to when using PHP? SOLVED: EDITED TO ENCODING -> ENCODE WITH UTF-8 WITHOUT BOM.
Before I started coding php on my site it all looked fine on all browsers. So I made the common beginners mistake to just code all my php stuff in mozilla firefox... and now everything is a mess.
If I remove all the php code everything is back to normal again, but that's not a solution.
In Firefox:

Everything looks the way it should, it's all perfect.
In Google Chrome:

*

*A margin between the top and the navigation div(position:fixed) has appeared.

*The content with posts has ran over the footer
In Safari:

*

*A margin between the top and the navigation div(position:fixed) has appeared.

*The content with posts has ran over the footer
And in the worst of them all IE:

*

*The navigation div is no longer acting like position: fixed

*Youtube div is on the bottom of the page

*Text is bolder

*height has been added on some divs

*The jquery slider is not working and there is like a margin-top and bottom on it
Why is the difference so big between the browsers? Any good explanations? This is very frustrating as I was just about to finish the job.

A: The error is in the HTML that your PHP script outputs, rather than the PHP itself. So i'd look in the outputted source code of your web page and see what's being generated and how it differs from your flat HTML site you had before. The problem is likely missing/broken tags, so run the whole thing (the PHP outputted HTML source code) through the W3C validator and you'll likely spot what part of your PHP script is giving you bad/broken HTML.

Samsung Galaxy S9 picks up a new slow-motion video mode
By João Carrasqueira Neowin @indospot · Jul 20, 2018 20:04 EDT · Hot! with 3 comments
Samsung has released a few updates to its Galaxy S9 flagships since their launch, most notably adding support for FM radio to unlocked versions of the handset in June. This month, the company seems to be making some changes to the camera app, adding a new slow-motion video recording mode.
The update, spotted by users on Reddit, adds the ability to record slow-motion video at 720p resolution and 480fps over 0.4 seconds, which results in a 12-second clip. The Galaxy S9 was the company's first smartphone to include the ability to record at 960fps for 0.2 seconds, and the new recording mode provides even more choice for users.
There's a bit of a caveat with the update, however. In manual mode, users are no longer able to record at 960fps, with the ability being replaced with the newly added mode. To record at the highest framerate setting, you'll need to use automatic mode, which automatically starts recording in slow motion when it detects movement in a specific area of the frame.
The update is rolling out to Galaxy S9 handsets, likely starting with the unlocked variants. It's possible that the company will include the feature out of the box in its upcoming Galaxy Note9, which is expected to be announced on August 9.
