(The Inner Mind's Eye) is the second and final studio album from Long Island hip hop group Leaders of the New School. This effort didn't fare nearly as well as their debut album A Future Without a Past, receiving mixed reviews. After the album's release, the group began having both creative and personal problems resulting in their disbandment.
Far be it for anyone to claim that Leaders of the New School lacked ambition during their fascinating, far too short-lived career, which culminated on this follow-up to their exciting debut album. With T.I.M.E. the barely adult-aged members check in with their second loose concept album, this time delving into a sort of urban sci-fi mysticism.

Dec 27, · It's also pretty damn long. Daamn I just read the Wikipedia page for this album. Apparently the A&R of Elektra Records, Dante Ross, KNEW that this album was wack. He didn't wanna drop the album, but apparently Leaders Of The New School insisted that it had to be released. They ended up breaking up after that.

ROCKVILLE, Maryland (December 13, 2016) — On Monday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that protects health insurance companies at the expense of patients. The message to low-income kidney failure patients is loud and clear: the Affordable Care Act is not for you. In sending such a message, CMS sets a dangerous precedent for people with any chronic condition who depend on charitable assistance to afford premiums.
CMS' stated goal in issuing the IFR is to create a more transparent process for patient education and referral to nonprofits for charitable assistance for health insurance premiums. We wholeheartedly support that goal—but in reality, the IFR effectively removes kidney patients from the insurance decision-making process. It leaves to insurers the decision of whether to provide ACA coverage to low-income kidney patients who need charitable assistance to afford premiums.
For nearly three years, CMS has refused to act on the mounting evidence that we have presented to the agency: insurance companies increasingly are refusing to insure people who depend on nonprofit assistance to obtain the coverage for the care that they need. This CMS inaction has led to insurance companies steering kidney failure patients away from ACA plans, and has limited patient choice. With Monday's IFR, CMS has effectively endorsed this type of behavior on the part of insurers, alleging adverse impacts to patients without providing a single documented example of a patient's health being adversely impacted.
In early 2014, CMS chose to protect people living with HIV/AIDS by requiring insurers to accept premium assistance payments from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program, but the agency has failed to provide a similar protection for kidney patients. Indeed, CMS has now done the opposite, paving the way for insurers to deny coverage to the population we serve. The IFR puts back into effect discrimination against patients with a pre-existing condition. That is wrong.
We maintain that it should always be the patient's choice to select the health insurance plan that is best suited to his or her individual circumstances, and that this decision should not be influenced by profit motives on the part health care providers. Choice of insurance should also not be influenced by profit motives on the part of insurers, and this is where CMS gets it wrong.
The American Kidney Fund has been the safety net for low-income dialysis patients for 45 years, and we have assisted patients in paying their health insurance premiums for 20 years under our federally approved Health Insurance Premium Program. The majority of people we help come to us for assistance with Medicare Part B and Medigap premiums. A small minority seek our help for ACA plans. Part of the IFR does align with actions AKF has recently taken to ensure patient autonomy and informed choice when applying for financial assistance through our program. In recent meetings with CMS, we laid out these plans in detail and expressed our strong desire to work with the agency to protect patient choice. But the only real choice in the IFR is left to insurance companies. Under this rule, they alone will determine whether or not to accept a kidney patient who receives charitable financial assistance to pay for premiums.
The rule gets the facts wrong, as well. It presents a specious argument that 7,000 kidney patients in ACA plans skew a risk pool of more than 12 million people. The rule maintains, unbelievably, that private insurance somehow makes it more difficult for ESRD patients to get transplants, when the opposite is true. Without premium assistance from AKF, many people would not be able to go through the transplant process. Most incredibly, the rule fails to point out that mid-year disruption in coverage—a real problem for patients—is caused entirely by insurers who elect to terminate coverage for patients who receive charitable assistance.
CMS should have taken this opportunity to provide a strong protection to people who have reviewed all of their insurance options and have selected an ACA plan, but need charitable assistance to afford it. Instead, the IFR leaves it entirely to the discretion of insurers who have a strong financial incentive to drop these patients from their rolls or refuse to insure them, even though, as quoted in the rule, "regulations at 45 CFR 147.104 and 156.805 prohibit issuers from discriminating against or employing marketing practices that discriminate against individuals with significant health care needs." If the Affordable Care Act was designed to provide protections for patients against insurer abuses, this IFR strips away those protections for kidney patients.
CMS needs to acknowledge that insurers have financial incentives to deny coverage for expensive patients with pre-existing conditions. For nearly three years, we have repeatedly provided to CMS information about insurance company practices that are resulting in kidney patients losing coverage. The independent Medicare Rights Center laid out in its recent comment letter to CMS that there are circumstances where individual coverage is in a patient's best interest. Denying such coverage can be harmful to patients. Many kidney patients also submitted comments detailing why an ACA plan was the better choice for them. CMS apparently ignored these comments despite repeated efforts from many organizations to provide a comprehensive view of the patient perspective.
We are deeply concerned that dropping from ACA plans those kidney patients who need charitable assistance is merely the opening salvo in insurers' efforts to exclude kidney patients from other types of policies, as well as to exclude low-income patients with other chronic illnesses from coverage. We have already seen some insurers refusing charitable premium payments from AKF for Medigap plans—a move that can cause great financial harm to patients.
We believe that CMS should protect ESRD patients in the same way that it protected low-income HIV/AIDS patients in 2014 when insurers tried to exclude them from Marketplace coverage by refusing payments from the Ryan White AIDS Program.
We further believe that a patient's need for financial assistance should in no way disqualify him or her from any health insurance plan.
This action by CMS threatens to turn back the clock to a time when patients with pre-existing conditions could not get private health care coverage. We urge CMS to halt this one-sided effort to help insurance companies at the expense of kidney patients.
We will never stop fighting for the rights of kidney patients. We will continue working with regulators and lawmakers at the state and federal levels to ensure that patients can access the health insurance plan of their choice, even if they need help paying for it.


With two kids in the house, my "laundry list" feels a ton longer than ever before. With loads of items on the to-do list these days, worrying about a bad purchase shouldn't be one of them—especially when it's a big ticket item.
If you're in the market for a new washer and dryer (like I've been this year) then read on! I'm sharing my handy shopping guide on what to look for when buying your next washer and dryer.
Now that you have kids, your old washing machine might not cut it. You're going to want an efficient, larger basin that hopefully doesn't occupy too much space or make that much noise, and gently banishes stains to oblivion.
1. Can this washer handle multiple loads a day? What's the wear and tear on a model like this?
2. Do I need side-by-side units or stacked units?
3. Will this fit in my current space?
4. Will you haul away my existing unit?
5. Is this an HE model? What kind of detergent should I be using?
6. What's the warranty? How are part replacements handled?
7. What size is best for my family size? Am I adding to my family now or in the next few years?
8. Should I get a front loader or top loader? What's the difference between the two?
Larger capacity dryers are a saving grace! Cutting down on drying time can sometimes mean cutting down on headaches.
Capacity — Determine the right capacity for your household by thinking about efficiency and the size of your household—this will save you time and money in the future. Ask yourself: How many are you in the household, how often do you use the dryer, and what type of items do you typically dry? This LG Mega Capacity Graphite Steel High Efficiency Top Load Washer, $999, offers huge loading capacity and delay-wash timer for multi-tasking!
Controls and Gadgets — Controls are really a personal choice. Think about whether you want a touch dial, knobs, or touch-sensitive controls. An easy-to-read control panel is important, as is a clear understanding of what each feature does. Learn firsthand (IRL on the sales floor) about what each control does. This Maytag White Gas Dryer, $599, offers wrinkle control.
Eco-Cycle: Dryers that have an eco-cycle will use a lot less energy—it will save you money on energy bills and will lengthen the lifespan of your clothing (mama likes).
Delicate: This cycle uses a lower temperature to gently wash your delicates. This will help the clothes last longer and maintain their vibrancy.
1. Will this dryer save me trips to the cleaners?
2. Ask about drying times and clothes best suited for that type of dryer.
3. Mom brain is real! Make sure your easy to understand control panel is REALLY "easy to understand." Ask away while on the sales floor. Getting a clear understanding of your control panel means all the difference in the lifespan of your clothes. Think shrinkage.
4. What's the lifespan on a unit like this?
Are you in the market for a washer and/or dryer? What's the most important feature to you when selecting your family's next washer/dryer?

Welcome back "The State of Arena"! It has been a couple of weeks but there has been a lot of stuff going on. Let's jump right in!
First off we had the Historic Open in which we scrubbed out after just 2 attempts in the first day of Best of One competition. It's designed for players to attempt it multiple times, and costs resources in a way that multiple attempts will require actual money to be spent. Keeping with the theme of not spending much actual money on it, I limited myself to just 2 attempts. I feel like I had a good deck for day 2 and the Best of Three format, but alas it wasn't meant to be.
We also had the Players Tour finals for standard in which we had a few new decks trying to topple the Temur Reclamation decks, but ultimately Temur was the deck that took the whole tournament. This performance, along with all of the complaints and the presence throughout the tournament led to what was probably the biggest surprise the following Monday after the tournament with an emergency banning.
As mentioned, the Monday after the Open and PT Finals, WOTC dropped a bomb with emergency bans of key cards in all of the top tier decks for standard. Teferi, Time Raveler, Wilderness Reclamation, Cauldron Familiar, Growth Spiral all got hit by the ban hammer so now we are delving into a brand new standard format. I'm excited to see exactly how it plays out, but I can already tell that Temur Adventures, Mardu Winota, and Mono Red are going to be heavy players in the format. We also saw Wilderness Reclamation and Teferi effectively banned in Historic, along with bannings in older formats as well.
This week I have been toying with some random decks in Standard, and pretty much have not touched Historic as Goblins are still there and will run amok for the most part. Maybe I'll get around to building that deck and try to just jam it, but for now, I am going to play Standard most of the time.
That is all for this week! Tune in to my streams as we dive into MTG Arena almost daily. Feel free to provide feedback or ask for tips and strategies by emailing me at maskevicmtg@gmail.com or contacting us here at the site! Until next time, happy gaming my friends and we will see you then!

As you write code, you'll inevitably encounter errors. This can be frustrating, but it's a huge part of being a programmer. Every programmer encounters errors, every single time they sit down to write code. Errors can happen for several different reasons, and this tutorial shows you how to debug your code to fix any errors in it.
The first type of error you'll probably see is a compiler error. Basically, a compiler error happens when you write code that the computer doesn't understand. In this case, Processing can't even run your code, because it doesn't know what you want it to do.
The rules of a language are called its syntax. Compiler errors are also called syntax errors, because they mean that your code broke the rules of the langauge. Compiler errors can be for things like forgotten semicolons or misspelled variables, but they can also be for violating the rules of Processing, like trying to store a String value in an int variable.
Here's an example that contains a syntax error. Can you spot it?
The Processing editor shows a red line under the background(black); line.
If you mouse over the red line, a tooltip saying The variable "black" does not exist appears.
If you try to run the code by pressing the play button, the editor shows a red message saying black cannot be resolved to a variable.
Notice that you can't run the code, because a compiler error prevents the computer from understanding what you want it to do.
Look at the line being underlined.
Look at the tool tip text for more info.
Look at the message when you try to run the code for even more info.
The Processing editor highlights the text(message, 20, 50); line and shows NullPointerException in the error bar.
Now the code gives the message variable a value inside the setup() function. This code runs fine!
There are many other types of errors, but the general process for debugging them is the same: look at the line highlighted in the editor, and look in the error bar to see what error was triggered.
If you still can't figure it out, check out the debugging sections below.
Sometimes you'll write code that doesn't generate any errors, but still doesn't work how you expected it to. This is almost always caused by a logic error, and it's usually a result of the programmer (that's you!) making an invalid assumption or a typo.
This program defines a direction variable, which it draws to the screen. At the end of every frame, it calls the rotateDirection() funtion. The rotateDirection() function uses if statements to change the value of the direction variable to be the next direction in the sequence.
But if you run this program, you'll see that only UP is ever drawn to the screen. You don't get any errors, but the code isn't doing what we thought it would.
When you get a compiler or logic error, the first thing you need to do is run through your code in your head. Read the code line by line, and double check that the code you wrote is the code you meant to write- just like you'd proofread anything you were writing.
Use a piece of paper and a pencil to write down any variable values or to draw stuff to the "screen" as you read through your code. Try reading through your code and imagining what it will do when it gets different values. Step through individual functions with imaginary parameters to make sure it will work in every case.
In the above example, read through the rotateDirection() function and think about exactly what each line does. Make sure you read the code correctly! Try not to assume you know what the code does,and just take it one line at a time. Reading it out loud can help.
If you can't spot the error from reading through your code, then you need to figure out what the code is doing, and exactly where that differs from what you expected it to do.
A simple way to figure that out is by adding println() statements to your code. You can use println() statements to figure out the values of variables, which functions are being called in what order, how many times a loop is iterating, etc.
We can use this output to read through our code again, this time comparing what we expect to be printed to what's actually printed. Do you see where the difference is?
If all else fails, you can use the debugger that comes with the Processing editor. The debugger is a tool that allows you to watch your code run one line at a time.
To activate the debugger, press the Debug button- the butterfly-looking circle in the upper-right corner of the Processing editor. That brings up a new Variables window, which is blank for now.
First set a break point by clicking a line number. The line number should turn into a diamond symbol.
Now press the play button to run your code using the debugger.
The debugger will pause the execution of your code when it reaches your break point.
Then you can use the step button to walk through the code one line at a time.
The Variables window will show the value of every variable as you step through your code.
The debugger allows us to run the code in "slow motion" and watch the values of variables change as the code runs. Again, the goal is to figure out exactly where the code does something different from what you expected.
In this case, the println() statements and the debugger tells us that the code is entering every if statement. So the rotateDirection() function reaches the first if statement, which it enters because direction starts out as "UP". It reassigns direction to be "RIGHT", which is correct so far. But then it looks at the next if statement, which checks whether direction is "RIGHT"! It is, so it reassigns it to be "DOWN". This process repeats for all of the if statements, until the last one reassigns direction to be "UP".
Now when one of the if statements is entered, it doesn't evaluate any of the other if statements. This causes the direction to be rotated only once, which was our original goal!
Programming is a process of breaking a problem down into smaller pieces, and approaching each of those pieces one at a time.
You should not be writing your entire sketch and then running it only after you've written all the code. Instead, test each piece as you write it. Make sure each line works how you expect, that way you can find errors as soon as they happen. It's very hard to debug a hundred lines of code that aren't doing what you expected. It's much easier to debug just a few lines of code.
Similarly, when you do find an error, you can use the above approaches (stepping through the code, using println() statements, and running the debugger) to narrow it down to just a few lines that aren't doing what you expect. If you still can't figure it out, then try creating a smaller example sketch that only contains enough code to see the same behavior.
Instead of images, use basic rectangles.
Instead of showing 100 of them, only show 2 of them.
Instead of giving them random positions and speeds, use hard-coded values.
But the small example program should still show the same problem as your main sketch. But now it's much easier to debug, because you don't have to look at any of the code that has nothing to do with the problem.
This type of program is called a MCVE, and it also makes it easier for you to ask questions on the forum! Half the time you'll figure out your problem while trying to narrow your problem down to a smaller example sketch.
If all else fails, sometimes the best thing you can do is take a break. Go on a walk, pet your cat, and try to clear your head. You'll be amazed at how many solutions you end up thinking of in the shower.

401st Bomb Group, Mission No. 205, 9 Feb 1945, Lutzkendorf (Primary) Eisenach (T.O.) Germany.
The Group was briefed at 0530 hours. Aircraft loading was ten 500 pound GP's and 2,780 gallons of gas. One aircraft, on takeoff, could not unlock its tailwheel u and went off the runway, necessitating a change from Runway 23 to Runway 28. All aircraft were airborne by 0945 hours. Gale warnings were received at 1340 hours, with winds of 50 miles per hour. By 1755 hours, all operational aircraft had returned except three which landed at other bases in England or on the Continent.
The 401st provided the three squadrons making up the 94th Combat Wing "C" Group on this mission. The target was covered by 8/10's to 10/10th's clouds, but the Lead and Low Squadrons bombed through breaks in the clouds. While the Lead Squadron's photos were obscured by clouds, photos indicated that the Low Squadron's bombs landed in the area of the assigned MPI. The High Squadron was unable to pick up the target but made an excellent PFF (radar) run on a target of last resort, with only partially observed results.
No enemy air opposition was encountered by the bomber force, although Allied fighters downed 24 German aircraft. Flak was meager to moderate and resulted in minor damage to seven aircraft. One ship (44-6113) piloted by Lt. Richard R. Scheller, forced landed on the Continent and was abandoned.

Marriage Portrait
The author of Hamnet--New York Times best seller and National Book Award winner--brings the world of Renaissance Italy to jewel-bright life in this unforgettable portrait of the captivating young duchess Lucrezia de' Medici as she makes her way in a troubled court.
Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the ruler of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf.
Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must now enter an unfamiliar court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her new husband himself, Alfonso. Is he the playful sophisticate he appeared to be before their wedding, the aesthete happiest in the company of artists and musicians, or the ruthless politician before whom even his formidable sisters seem to tremble?
As Lucrezia sits in constricting finery for a painting intended to preserve her image for centuries to come, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court's eyes, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferranese dynasty. Until then, for all of her rank and nobility, the new duchess's future hangs entirely in the balance.
Full of the beauty and emotion with which she illuminated the Shakespearean canvas of Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell turns her talents to Renaissance Italy in an extraordinary portrait of a resilient young woman's battle for her very survival.

The final stage of compulsory secondary education, between 12 and 16 years of age, is the so called Obligatory Secondary Education (ESO) and is characterized by being the breaking point with primary education and ongoing studies. The pupils change from a learning model where the class teacher is the focal point to a model coordinated by a class tutor but involving specialist teachers. Together, the section is made up of four years from 1st to 4th ESO.
By way of the class tutor, the school helps the pupils and families to integrate into secondary school,In ESO is consolidated in a climate for learning, intellectual curiosity, personal effort and academic rigourto consolidate the new groups and give personal and academic guidance so that the new pupil can face up to more complex learning processes while becoming more independent in taking personal and academic decisions. Class tutors are designated seven hours of time to attend to their group both in ESO and Sixth Form.
The school clearly orientates its pupils to higher education, and thus, ESO advances towards an excellent all-round education which is consolidated in a climate for learning, intellectual curiosity, personal effort and academic rigour.
The school wants its pupils to attain a high level of communicative skills and, as mentioned above, we have successfully introduced the teaching of other subjects in English (EICLE) over and above the normal English classes in the curriculum. One of our final goals is for all pupils to pass the Cambridge First Certificate in English by the end of 4th grade ESOFurthermore, we encourage pupils of 2nd year ESO to participate in a term-long stay in selected schools in the UK in collaboration with an external organization. To this end, one of our final goals is for all pupils to pass the Cambridge First Certificate in English by the end of 4th ESO. Obviously, pupils continue studying a second foreign language, German or French, which began in 6th grade of primary education.
It is our firm belief that the knowledge of languages will be of the upmost importance in our pupils' lives and that this language acquisition should be complemented with formal oral skills in Catalan, Spanish and English. To this end, speech-making is an important part of the curriculum with the aim of all pupils being able to speak in public correctly and efficiently either in public lectures, presentations of work assignments, reciting, poetry or, in fact, any required situation, even outside of the school or before an unacquainted public.
The school's policy on information, learning and communication technologies is that they should be freely available to our pupils, and as such, their use in classes and workshops is on the rise. The learning process is closely linked to projects that are in collaboration with the IT department and other subjects in such a way that those who come up to secondary school use this technology as an essential tool for expanding skills in specific learning areas and is not just an end in itself.
Basic computer skills, which are essential in any academic of professional area, are consolidated at this stage and are the stepping stones towards programming skills that will be used in technological applications associated with robotics. High levels of audio-visual skills are also attained and used in any of the numerous projects at hand via laptops, ipads or interactive whiteboards.
With the aim of contributing to the learning process and attending to special needs, BetàniaPatmos has support programmes in reduced groups for pupils with specific educational needs in Mathematics, English, French, German, Speech-Making, Natural Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Technology and Laboratory work. For those pupils who spend a considerable time abroad, a revision programme is being considered to help them catch up with their classmates and with the general pace of the course.
An all-round education should not forget how important Physical Education is in the syllabus. Pupils are coached in swimming, encouraged to take part in after-school team sports and receive a wide range of information on nutrition, health and eating habits in collaboration with the Alícia-Món Sant Benet Foundation.
We want our secondary school pupils to take control of their personal identity within the framework in which they live. It is for this reason we motivate them to take part in competitions, We want our secondary school pupils to take control of their personal identity within the framework in which they liveexchange programmes and external exams to put themselves to the test, to take part in enriching encounters as it gives them the opportunity to share their experiences with the rest of their colleagues or with those in other organizations. It is here, for example, where they participate in charitable sporting events and these intrinsic values are shared amongst all.
In this manner, we also participate in other projects associated with the Tr@ms Foundation; we have taken part in the First Lego League of robotics; we encourage pupils to take the DELF French exams or Fit in Deutsch, in German; we incentivize them to participate in Maths tournaments organised by the Catalan Society of Mathematics which comes under the Catalan Institute of Studies; we help to make other musical and sporting interests compatible with their studies based on the guiding principle of offering diversity in education. In general, we give them the possibility of learning about and participating in any activity that our cultural environment offers.

House in the Lanes
The 'lanes' in Amagansett, New York, are a set of walkable streets perpendicular to Main street, dotted with a diverse range of houses and styles, that are walking distance to the ocean.
One of our challenges was to create a home that would accommodate the owners wish for a maintenance-free house with longevity, inside and outside. This led to building shapes and materials that would be hardy, devoid of delicate detailing, and requiring no re-finishing over time. All exterior materials, from the charred cypress, to raw concrete walls, to the zinc roof are chosen for their ability to weather and patina naturally over time. Windows and doors are pushed tight up to the forward plane of the clapboards to keep a tight weather seal.
In a departure from recent additions to the area, where houses extend from side to side, on a given parcel, often choking it, we opted to let the side facade, the narrow end, be the street-front. By doing so, we were able to let the longer side of the house face south and direct sun, while maintaining a suitable distance to the neighbors.
The front yard is softened with a green buffer, a meadow, which over time will grow and create a natural green zone along the street, while creating privacy for the homeowners. The first impression of the house is that of a raw, unfinished, concrete wall sitting in this meadow; its profile echoing the familiar shape of a barn. It hides the garage, and scales the front face of the house down to meet that of older homes that were prevalent in the lanes. Quickly, the concrete gives way to a slightly charred cypress (an organic anti-termite material), starting a play between these two materials that extends throughout the house — contrasting spaces of recluse (wood) with foundational anchoring walls (concrete).
The ground level is dedicated to living spaces and offers a bedroom for guests. In the living room, a raw steel box is inserted into a concrete wall providing accessible storage for our clients collection of rare and vintage vinyl records. The connection with the outdoors, size of windows and overhangs, is carefully managed to both address the clients' wish for a strong sense of interiority, as well as the filtering of natural light.
The second floor holds the parents bedroom, at the far end. It is separated from the children's bedrooms with a second floor porch and roof 'cut-out'. The porch is entered through a south-facing sliding glass door that, together with the north-facing ribbon window, allow natural light to filter into the house and reflect down into the heart of the house via narrow slits, and openings, along the staircase and its concrete stair-wall.
A sunken courtyard on the south side of the house and a generous light-well on the north break the flatness of the site, and allow light to be filtered into the lower level, transforming a basement into a well-lit family room with a private outdoor space.
From Vincent Scully in American Architecture & Urbanism
"Behind the trees, all along the East Coast, stand the houses, though originally they stood stark and alone in pitiless, Iron Age clearings. In New England, it was an English medieval wood-frame dwelling imported in toto. Rapidly, however, modifications were made in it which led its forms in the direction taken by those of New Mexico. The thatched roof was changed to shingles, creating a tighter, harder profile. The skeleton frame, which in English examples might be weatherboarded, plastered, tiled, or left exposed as half-timber, was soon uniformly sheathed in thin, narrow American clapboards. Windows and doors were pushed tight up to the forward plane of the clapboards to keep a weather seal. The extremes of the American climate so played a part in closing the surface, making it more planar, more linear, and thinner than in the general run of English houses.... As in New Mexico, everything became simplified and clarified; the virtues sought were now the elemental ones of strong, obvious shapes and plain surfaces."
On the northeastern shore of Springs, New York, a hamlet in East Hampton, a short dirt road winds between tall pines and brings one to a small 1/2 acre lot that is perched 18' above Gardiner's Bay. It is an arresting experience to exit the tree-covered road and be confronted with an expansive cut of the sky, the bay, and a horizon line that is straddled with Gardiner's Island. On the east and west sides, neighboring houses sit not too far away. These two extremes, complete openness on one axis and enclosure on the other, inform our design and its materiality.
An existing house on the lot, too deteriorated from long exposure to salt and humidity, is to be removed. And many interior wood finishes will be salvaged for re-use in the new house. In its place, a new 3,100 square feet house will include three bedrooms, a study, living spaces and intimate outdoor spaces and courtyards.
The natural beauty of the bay's constantly shifting conditions, its deep variations in color, and the geometric purity of the horizon line, are the remarkable features of this site. Architecture, here, could do no more than to be witness. So our house sits with this phenomenal experience, weaving the line of the horizon through its spaces, slowly unveiling the views, with glimpses through layers and framed transparencies.
The house is split into three pods that are connected with a low-ceiling bridge. This grouping scales down the house in relation to the lot and is reminiscent of older settlements in the area.
Moving through the house one passes under overhangs, through vertical fins and between small courtyards. The effect is one of unveiling, the view is captured and released, culminating in a living space where two 18' tall side-walls hold the horizon, sky, and bay.
A few small-scale inner courtyards, set in the center of the house, create sheltered outdoor spaces, away from northerly winds and allow direct southerly light to enter the living spaces; they also help maintain a level of privacy between the three inhabitants of the house. Nature can be harsh, and these spaces provide necessary relief when facing the bay may prove difficult.
On the east-west axis, the walls are devoid of openings, shielding the interior spaces from neighbors while directing the eye towards the horizon. These walls are made with Structural Insulated Panels and clad with charred cypress boards, prepared using the traditional Japanese Shou-Sugi-Ban technique; the charred wood provides a permanent protective shield against termites (a problem that effected the existing house) and requires nearly no maintenance.
Utilitarian spaces, bathrooms ,and closets are each boxed and stacked against a concrete wall that rises from the basement to the roof - one concrete wall in each pod, dividing the space and providing a sense of stability. Cedar and pine boards, recycled from the demolished house, are used to clad these boxes in an informal and non-luxurious manner. Electrical conduits and plumbing are surface-mounted for ease of access and to reveal the mechanics of the structure.
Special attention is given to the way the roof edge meets the glazed walls below it. The roof tapers down to a 2" edge, almost disappearing from view. We felt the expression of free-standing walls would be akin to masts of a ship, and maybe even in some manner, appear to be touching the sky.
Arc House
Single Family Detached, 3,000 sf on ground floor, 3,600 sf on lower (cellar) level
The arch contains the living, dining and kitchen areas in an open plan. A staircase, the kitchen counter and other low-height components define the space within it. The entry canopy to the arch and a few other components within it are at a height of 7', creating a touchable lower plane within the larger structure.
To allow the client to be able to increase the number of bedrooms, we decided to house them in a flat roofed section, in the rear, made of structural insulated panels; the bedrooms are accessed through a connecting bridge. The lay out is simple and efficient and can easily accommodate horizontal additions.
Geothermal and high-efficiency HVAC, glazing u-values down to .12, SIP paneling, and a green roof contribute to the lowering of energy costs.
Frogs Pond
A 9500 sf modern addition to an existing house on the East End of Long Island, in Wainscott, New York.
The addition touches the side of the main house lightly with a 6' wide transparent bridge. Against the backdrop of a rigorously geometric existing house, it hops and leaps, creating its own spatial narrative. Our goal was to let the main house retain its dominant gabled roof, while re-framing it with a set of terraces that, in their horizontal angularity, refer to its roof lines.
The plan of the extension consists of two floor plates that criss-cross one another as they meander into the landscape, guided by one's movement towards the vistas and southern orientation. A caretakers' cottage with an asymmetrical gabled roof echoes the roof lines of the existing house and punctuates the flat roofed extension. Slight shifts in wall orientation create pockets of space that are used to house artwork in more intimate niches and alcoves.
Rooms are distributed around a core of open space and light that serves as a platform for viewing fine art and totem sculptures; a red resin floor defines this interior 'plaza' and cascades to the floor above and below.
The ground floor promenade culminates in a quiet library. There, heavy structural steel bracing remains exposed and is used to support thin metal shelves and counters - the weight of words counterbalancing the weight of walls. The library opens to a covered terrace; horizontal planters are suspended at the edges of the terrace and will one day provide a natural screen as plants and branches grow and hang down their sides.
On the second floor, the master bedroom opens to a broad balcony that overlooks the site. Roof overhangs, planters and a deep bench frame the space and create a secure boundary along the balcony edge. The room is oriented to catch southern light and sunset views.
Multiple flat roofs at different heights are covered with low-maintenance sedum and help reduce water run-off (a problem in the area) and give both the impression and reality of a terraced garden. On the second floor, the roof gardens blanket the adjacent roof surfaces and create a green foreground to distant farm views. Excess rainwater is funneled into steel gutters that are designed to double function as horizontal planters.
Outside, concrete slabs topped with seamless resin and stucco-finished walls help minimize the adverse impact of excessive salt and humidity prevalent in the area.

Amagansett Modular
This four-bedroom, 1800 sf, modular house was completed in March 2019. Its a breakthrough project for us and we hope will provide a template for many future homeowners who may want to bypass the typical process of custom-designing and building homes. Photographs will be available soon.
Container Studio
An art studio made of recycled shipping containers on the East End of Long Island, in Amagansett, New York. It includes 900 sf of space and a double height ceiling. Winner of an AIA Peconic Award and featured in numerous publications and design blogs.
The client needed an art studio close to her house (which we renovated in 2008). Her requirements called for a space of about 900 sf , a tight budget and for a simple structure that would be both inviting and reflective.
Our solution was to use two 9'-6" x 40' x 8' shipping containers (cost: $2,500 each, delivered) perched over a 9' foundation wall/cellar. By cutting 75% of the floor of the containers, we were able to move the painting studio to a lower level via a wide staircase and take advantage of a high ceiling. The staircase itself acts as a transitional space for viewing art work.
The upper floor provides a more intimate work area and a sitting area.
The containers were painted dark charcoal to maintain continuity with the original house and to recede in the shadows of a dense wooded site.
The total area of the studio is 840 sf.

MTK Cabin
A small modern cabin in the woods in Montauk, consisting three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and living areas, pre-fabricated using three 8' x 20' shipping containers.
The "Hamptons," the Atlantic side of the Eastern End of Long Island, are known for a seasonal population who live in large homes, often over 7,000 square feet. But it is also home to a year-round population. We were lucky to receive a commission from three clients who needed a home to share while they live and work on the East End.
Our clients recognized the limitations of their budget and laid out programmatic requirements and aesthetic preferences that were inherently compatible with very affordable solutions. Their appreciation for small spaces, in their words, like boat cabins – bathrooms with open showers, single bed bedrooms, and a compact kitchen – made some unconventional design considerations possible.
Located in Montauk, where the amount of affordable housing is limited, we set out to create one of the least expensive new residences on the East End. The site is less than a mile from the marina where many people already live in tiny quarters on their boats, so the idea of smart solutions that make tiny living enjoyable was always on our and our clients' minds.
For a start, we all agreed that the house should be no larger than 650 square feet, the minimum house size allowed in the Township of East Hampton which encompasses the Village of Montauk.
Based on our prior work in the area, and knowing of the high costs of site-built homes, we felt the need to explore prefabrication. Our initial research let us to the use of three recycled 8' x 20' shipping containers retrofitted and finished off-site and shipped to Montauk. Each container is 160 square feet, bringing the total of three containers to 480 square feet. By adding connecting spaces, we achieved the minimum required size.
From here our design challenge was to transform the otherwise claustrophobic space of the containers into intimate but open rooms that form a range of connections to the landscape around them. Each room becomes a window, an opening, or a doorway that creates its own connection with its outdoor surroundings.
In its tiny shell, the home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen/dining/living room area. The home is organized into three pods with glass connections between them. The connections can be read as two separate tiny rooms maintaining privacy between pods or the connections can be read as one single unit that includes the porch forming a fourth volume. From the porch to the pods to the connectors, we maintained a uniform ceiling height and floor plane.
We staggered the containers to create privacy between the three people living in the home and used glazed connections as transitional and intimate spaces in between. On the axis of circulation (East-West), the containers were developed as perpendicular extensions along a promenade; circulation itself became a shared room. While in the cross axis, each container was developed independently to house its own program.
The containers are insulated on the inside with with closed cell spray foam and clad with finish grade plywood on the walls and ceiling and engineered wood on the floor. The connectors are frameless thermal fin-glass panels. The exteriors of the containers are spray-painted with marine grade paint. All built-ins are supported by the side-walls letting the floor plane be free of any obstruction. A combination of curtains, louvers, and deciduous trees help manage thermal loss and gain.
insta house
insta-studio and insta-house
Hamptons, New York
In 2008, MB Architecture embarked on an exploration of very affordable single-family homes and workspaces. And in 2009, we built our first prototype: a double-height artist's studio made of four recycled shipping containers. The project, located in Amagansett, New York, was awarded the American Institute of Architects Peconic Chapter Honor Award for Architecture. Since then, we have taken the double-height, four container model, called the insta_house, to the next level. Completely prefabricated, the two bedroom, two bathroom home includes a full kitchen and a living room; it is fabricated in eight weeks and installed in one day.
Finally, well designed, environmentally conscious pre-fab construction is affordable, very affordable, and now available everywhere in USA.

Tesla vs Waymo: Why Elon Musk's Design Choice Could Win Autonomous Driving
Filed Under Innovation, Autonomous Cars, Elon Musk & Waymo
Tesla bucked the trend when it unveiled its autonomous driving system back in 2016 by eschewing the type of depth-sensing lidar system used by practically every other automaker. One expert claimed in an interview this week, however, that this bet may deliver Elon Musk's firm an important advantage in the race to deliver full hands-free driving.
Musk, who began introducing Tesla's self-driving sensor suite onto every new car in October 2016, claims that the eight included cameras are enough to support "level five" autonomous rides — no bulky lidar shooting lasers required. Lex Fridman, an autonomous driving researcher at MIT, described it on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast this week as the "big throwdown between Elon Musk and everybody else."
Lidar, short for Light Detection and Ranging, bounces a laser beam off objects around the car and times how long it takes to return. This distance information is not enough to drive a car, but the data is normally used alongside other sensors like cameras. Waymo, which started life as Google's self-driving car project, has been testing its bulky-headed cars in a variety of conditions.
"It's a little bit more futuristic, so it's a longer-term solution."
But just like how Waymo doesn't depend on lidar alone, Tesla isn't just using eight cameras to drive. It augments this data using a radar and 12 ultrasonic sensors which detect objects a user may otherwise miss due to poor visibility or blocked view, similar to the lidar. To achieve all this, Tesla has started producing an A.I. chip capable of processing 2,000 frames per second to power this feature, which will slot into existing cars. Drivers will be able to pay a fee (currently $6,000) to unlock the software and buy the computer.
"If you're going to build artificial intelligence systems…camera is the way to go, because you can learn so much more, you can see so much more," Fridman said. "The richer, deeper sensor is the camera, but it's much harder. You have to collect a huge amount of data. It's a little bit more futuristic, so it's a longer-term solution."
Data is perhaps less an issue for Tesla than it is for other automakers, as Tesla already has nearly half a million sensor-equipped vehicles out on the road harvesting data.
I had a great time talking with @joerogan again yesterday. It was a fun 3 hours on AI, martial arts, and autonomous vehicles. Here's an excerpt from a longer discussion on @elonmusk and @Tesla Autopilot. Full conversation: https://t.co/gME6hFfTor pic.twitter.com/adxopcoj6d
— Lex Fridman (@lexfridman) May 8, 2019
With that in mind, it's perhaps understandable that Tesla chose to ship its cars with cameras. After all, if people are spending up to six figures on your firm's cars with the promise of full autonomy, you want the future-proofed system, right?
Rather than characterizing cameras as a safer long-term investment, Musk has frequently suggested that lidar is something of a non-starter. During last month's Autonomy Investor Day, he dismissed lidar as a "fool's errand," "expensive," "unnecessary," and argued that anyone depending on it is "doomed." In a February 2018 earnings call, he called lidar a "crutch."
Musk isn't alone in this belief. Jianxiong Xiao, founder of California-based autonomous car technology firm AutoX, told Inverse in April 2017 that the sensors "do not satisfy functionality requirements for automotive hardware," as they struggle when snow and rain collects on the sensor and they lack long-term durability. However, Xiao's team has since built lidar into the mix to power food deliveries at CES in January.
More researchers appear to be following this trend. A team at Cornell University recently claimed in a research paper that cheap cameras can be as effective as lidar when mounted properly. Anthony Levandowski, a former Google engineer that said in 2016 "we have got to start calling Elon on his shit" around lidar, has opted not to use lidar for his self-driving truck startup Pronto.
The big question is time. Musk has claimed that Tesla could have one million robot taxis on the roads by next year. Waymo has been running limited trials with its own taxi service in Phoenix, but these involve a safety driver. Out of the two, Waymo is the first and so far only autonomous car firm that has been granted a license in California to try its autonomous cars without a safety driver ready to take over.
"Today, to build a safe vehicle, you have to go lidar," Fridman said. "Tomorrow, however you define tomorrow…camera is the way to go."
If Musk is right, tomorrow could come sooner than many expect.

Q: SwingWorker, again, but new So, I figured out the SwingWorker thing.
However, another problem emerged (go figure)...
Swing worker acctually manages error reporting and email sending, and emailing being a lenghty (more than .5 seconds) task, it comes in handy...
In order to prevent my program to continu executing before the error has been processed, I have to pause the EDT thread (with that syncronised thingy). However, that will also pause cool little animation that indetermined JProgressBar has, and which is being used while the message is sent, so, when the EDT is paused.
My question is, is there any way to stop my program from continuing to execute, and at the same time dispaly the animation on JProgressBar?
Here is somwhat pseudo code:
Main class
error occurrs - pauses thread with syncronised and executes (creates) another class that executes SwingWorker
(that another class is neccessary, it really is, if it weren't I wouldn't be having so much trouble with this).
new ErrorDialog(Main.modal, lang.getString("errorConfigMissingTitle"), lang.getString("errorConfigMissingMessage"), e, false);

It invokes this:
            //bunch of code, this below is an action listener of one of the buttons

            String s = "";

            (new ErrorSender(parent, error, s, dialog)).execute();

            synchronized (s)
            {
                try
                {
                    s.wait();
                }

                catch (InterruptedException e1)
                {
                    e1.printStackTrace();
                }
            }

            dialog.dispose();

            //create JDialog that tell user message was sent

SwingWorker class
creates sendingErrorReport JDialog (with JProgressBar)
and sends the message in the background, when message is sent, removes pause (notyfyAll()).
public class ErrorSender extends SwingWorker<Boolean, Void>
{
    Exception e;
    String s;

    public ErrorSender(JFrame parent, Exception error, String k, JDialog sendingDialog)
    {
        e = error;
        s = k;

        sendingDialog = new JDialog(parent, "Sending...", false);

        JProgressBar progress = new JProgressBar();
        progress.setString("Sending report...");
        progress.setStringPainted(true);
        progress.setIndeterminate(true);

        sendingDialog.getContentPane().add(progress);
        sendingDialog.pack();
        sendingDialog.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        sendingDialog.getContentPane().validate();
        sendingDialog.setResizable(false);
        sendingDialog.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground() throws Exception
    {

    //send email here

        synchronized (s)
        {
            s.notifyAll();
        }

        return null;
    }
}

I'm not removing pause from done() method because, if pause is not removed, done() is never reached/called...

A: Pausing the EDT while the background thread is running and then resuming it is exactly the same, but in a more convoluted way, as doing the lengthy, blocking operation in the EDT. It makes no sense.
If you want to prevent users from using the program while the background task is running, simply display a modal dialog, and close it (or allow closing it) once the background task is done.

A: have look and please to test

Where to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Around DC
Where to find outdoor brewery celebrations, Guinness to-go, and distanced live music.
Written by Ellen O'Brien

While St. Patrick's Day around DC will again look different this year, local pubs and restaurants are still finding ways to celebrate the Irish holiday safely. It's a good idea to look into local Covid-19 regulations and individual business policies before heading out, as many bars and restaurants are offering (or requiring) reservations; there's no live entertainment currently allowed in DC; and capacity limits for indoor spaces and tables vary. Here's your guide to local celebrations: indoors, outdoors, and to-go (don't forget your shamrock mask).
Across the Pond Restaurant & Pub
1732 Connecticut Ave., NW
On St. Patrick's Day, the Dupont Circle pub will open at 10 AM and offer Guinness for $6 along with a variety of traditional Irish bites—think corned beef sandwiches, cottage pie, and fish and chips. Indoor dining is available, as well as outdoor dining (weather permitting). Reservations are accepted but not required.
The Bullpen at Half Street Fairgrounds
1201 Half St., SE
Project DC Events is hosting the District's first "Shamrock Land" at the popular outdoor bar near Nationals Park. On Saturday, March 13, and Sunday March, 14, attendees can sample Irish beers and whiskeys, participate in seated table games, and make their own pretzel necklace. General admission and VIP tickets available online ($25-$45).
Clarendon Pop-Up Bar
3185 Wilson Blvd., Arlington
This Arlington pop-up spot will celebrate the Irish holiday with a DJ and band on Saturday, March 13 during their ShamRock 'n Roll event. If you're in the market for green beer and Shamrock-tinis, this is your kind of place. Reservations are accepted and a few walk-in tables may be available.
4 F St., NW
One of DC's oldest Irish bars is moving forward with a smaller celebration than usual. On St. Patrick's Day, reservations are available for drink specials and Irish fare—indoor and outdoor, plus a new streetery. The pub opens early at 8 AM with a breakfast sandwich pop-up from chef Scott Drewno of I Egg You. There's also a take-home sandwich-and-beer package that comes with a six-pack of two brews—the Auld Dubliner Amber Ale and The Imperial—and the bar's classic corned beef sandwich. Available for pick-up and delivery on Saturday, March 13 for $23.99.

As part of unpopular request, I'll be sharing with you tips on ranking and training your skills, training on how to use your skills effectively, training to get the best gear, and training on the remote mountains as a hermit.
Well, I'd like to start by saying one thing; fighter is best pursued and started if you were already proficient in a different skillset because of the fighter skillset's large focus on 1v1 combat. Due to the fighter's complete lack of easily accessible AoE attacks and 1v1 nature, the rate of killing monsters from beginning to endgame grows exponentially and then the rate will suddenly remain in near stasis once your attacks reach 1 hit ko potential. It doesn't matter how hard you hit a 1000 hp monster, if you're only going to be dealing damage to one monster at a time, the only thing that limits how much faster you can kill is based on three factors; animation speed, movement speed and how efficiently you're using your skillset. That means that fighters will be outshined in killing speed during mid to late mid game dungeons and shadow missions but once they reach the hardest missions where monsters have boatloads of hp, their killing speed will once again rise.
If you were a warrior prior to going fighter, you'll gain an early boost in both your fighter damage and the flexibility of close combat. Plus you'd probably be familiar with the basics of fighting up close to begin with. This is where I started.
If you were not a warrior, you'd still benefit because during actual combat, your AoE skills will come very handy as they will cover the fighter's weaknesses. Additionally, if you were a mage and ranked Thunder, you'd get some Will and likewise with rangers if they ranked Crossbow Mastery.
As for the races, it's a very clear race on who has the upper hand. I'll just list off the advantages and disadvantages of each race and let you decide on your own though.
-Age 17 and 18 gives the best will which are the best leveling ranges for freebirthers, yahoo!
-Age 15 with the talent bonus will grant you 1.5 Will per level!
–Use Taunt for Lunatic mode. Warning: Not for Elementary school kids.
–Very fast knuckles cannot N + any non fighter skill under most circumstances Sorry my mistake, it's possible but you just need a good computer, decent internet and fast hands. I lacked a good computer at the time of this writing.
