Les Coronados est un groupe de garage rock français. Formé en 1979, le groupe publie un premier album studio, intitulé N'importe quoi… Mais pas n'importe comment en 1984, qui est suivi par Un lustre en 1989. Ce dernier remporte le succès critique, mais le groupe se sépare la même année.

Biographie
Le groupe est formé en 1979. Les Coronados reprennent leur nom d'une guitare électrique Fender, et s'inspirent du garage rock, de la musique pop rock et du rhythm and blues. Ses influences sont à rechercher du côté de Buddy Holly, des Kinks, de Captain Beefheart et des Sonics.

Leur premier EP, l'homonyme Les Coronados, sorti en 1981, devient rapidement un objet de culte chez les passionnés de rock. Il comprend la face B Elle m'attend tous les soirs, , pour Télérama. Il est suivi d'un deuxième EP, en 1982, intitulé Voix blanches et idées noires, dont une reprise de Zig Zag Wanderer de Captain Beefheart.

En 1984, ils publient leur premier album, N'importe quoi… Mais pas n'importe comment, chez Romance Records. Dominique Especel décide de quitter le groupe sans raison apparente. C'est donc en formation serrée et sur trois ans que se boucle Un lustre. Leur deuxième album studio, Un lustre, est publié en 1989, et reçoit un accueil critique très favorable ; cependant, les ventes ne suivent pas. Avec Christophe Laménière, le trio réussit à enregistrer trois nouveaux morceaux au studio Pathé Marconi à Boulogne-Billancourt. Yves Calvez tentera d'attirer les maisons de disques, sans succès, événement qui signe la séparation du groupe.

Après leur séparation, Bernard Lepesant joue avec Dilip Magnifique dans les Wysiwyg, et produira un album du groupe Blutt, sorti en 2008. Dilip Magnifique, lui, joue au sein du groupe local One Arm.

Postérité
Sur leur album Chauds, sales et humides, Les Wampas font une reprise de Revanche, titre des Coronados figurant sur leur premier album.

Collectionneur maniaque a également été repris par mEgWELL sur la cassette "Art fuck for all" en 1996.

Advances in curing corneal illnesses using stem cells
The University School of Clinical Medicine has developed a new technique for the treatment of corneal illnesses. It involves transplanting from the cornea stem cells which have previously been grown in the laboratory.
According to the explanation provided by Doctor Javier Moreno, director of Ophthalmology and Doctor Felipe Prósper, responsible for Cellular Therapy at the University School of Clinical Medicine, "the surgical technique employed is similar to that published in other countries. The importance here lies in the novel growth method for the culture of corneal stem cells. This culture system provides the advantage of achieving cells of particular quality, which influences recovery of the damaged cornea ". This surgical technique has been employed with a number of patients who have had stem cells implanted in the cornea using this new method, with the result that there is a clear improvement in the transparency of the cornea, quite notable in some cases, confirming the efficacy of this new method of cell culture growth. Description The cornea can become damaged due to a number of reasons: burns, blows, inflammatory pathologies of the cornea or herpes infections. When these ailments appear, the stem cells responsible for maintaining transparent the cornea surface are damaged and, thus the cornea becomes opaque and vision is impaired partially or even totally. The surgical technique involves the extraction of a small piece of the periphery from the cornea of the healthy eye where the stem cells are found and the subsequent growth in culture in the laboratory and finally, their implantation in the damaged eye. The growth culture technique devised at the Clinical University separates these stem cells from others in the cornea, selects those with the greatest possibilities of multiplication, and determines the most suitable moment with the greatest capacity for proliferation for their implantation into the damaged eye. Until now the treatment of this type of damage was a corneal transplant or the transplant of the amniotic membrane which does not have the capacity of producing transparency in the surface of the cornea. Now, by means of the growth of stem cells extracted from the cornea of a healthy eye, we can regenerate the surface of the damaged eyes cornea. In the cases treated with the new system to date, the damaged ocular surface has been partially or totally recovered and all cases have experienced positive development, taking into account that some patients have been under observation for more than 6 months. The only possible complication with this operation is that the stem cells do not reproduce in the damaged cornea and the eye is the same as before the operation. The Clinical University has carried out this technique in multidisciplinary co-operation with the Department of Ophthalmology, which selects the candidate patients and carries out the extraction from the donor and the implantation of the cultivated stem cells. The Cellular Therapy laboratory, under Dr. Felipe Prósper, is responsible for the growing of the cell cultures and the Cytology expert in the Pathological Anatomy service, Dr. Maria Dolores Lozano, carried out the analyses on the corneal cells before and after their implantation.

MADD asks ESRB to rerate Rockstar's game Adults Only over inebriation simulation.
Much like its unfortunate series of protagonists, the Grand Theft Auto series seems to be continually under fire. The latest parental interest group to put the game in its crosshairs is Mothers Against Drunk Driving, which commemorated Grand Theft Auto IV's release yesterday with its own official statement decrying the game.
Noting that drunk driving claims nearly 13,500 lives each year, MADD said that it is "extremely disappointed" that the game lets users get virtually drunk and then get behind the wheel of an equally virtual automobile.
"Drunk driving is not a game and it is not a joke," MADD said. "Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime, and it is also 100 percent preventable."
MADD is asking the Entertainment Software Rating Board to bump Grand Theft Auto IV's rating up to AO for Adults Only from M for Mature. The ESRB's content descriptors for the game currently include "use of drugs and alcohol." The parental group also said that it is asking the game's "manufacturer" (presumably Take-Two Interactive) to consider stopping distribution out of a sense of social responsibility, or out of respect for those who've been hurt or killed by drunk drivers.

Fatma Said Ibrahim
GCU Magnusson Award winner 2015
MSc Social Business and Microfinance 2015
PhD student in the Yunus Centre for Business and Health
"I chose my Masters degree at GCU because I read about microfinance as a way to empower poor women in poor countries. It empowers them economically then it helps them gain control over their lives."
Fatma originally graduated with a degree in Archaeology from the University of Cairo. She worked in the tourism sector after graduation, but always knew that social justice and women's empowerment was her true passion. She got involved with other activities and feminist and human rights movements and knew that she wanted to do things to help women in developing countries, especially her home country, Egypt. She was awarded a scholarship to study at GCU in Glasgow, and began her Masters in 2014.
"I love GCU. I feel like GCU is my home because I've never been out of my country. When I came here, this was the very first home I had, in the GCU student accommodation, and I've just been here since then. It's crazy how time passes so fast. I love GCU and I love how I'm supported here. I always feel supported and everybody is so great. Everyone in the office in the Yunus Centre is so supportive and GCU Foundation - the people there are just amazing and the principal's office - everyone is just amazing."
She was awarded a Magnusson Award in 2015, allowing her to travel back to Egypt to work with a support group, Girls Revolution, which began right after the Egyptian Revolution. The group teach women and girls about their rights in Egyptian society, how to follow their dreams and how to understand themselves. In such a conservative society, women have a lack of rights.
"This is why I applied for the Magnusson award, I wanted to go back and do something with Girls Revolution on land, to get women together in one place, talk to them, and talk about our experiences. I wanted to tell them what I'd learned here in Glasgow, I've seen how in a different community women are way ahead and how women can actually gain their rights. I know over here there are a lot of women rights to be gained, but it's way ahead than Egypt. I wanted to share my experience and the way that people campaign and raise awareness. I wanted to hear from them and for them to hear from other women as well. Women from different backgrounds got involved - it was amazing. I couldn't have done it without the money from the Magnusson awards."
After graduation, Fatma joined the Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health at GCU, initially as a Research Assistant, and progressing to a PhD. Her PhD project looks at the impact of microcredit on the empowerment of low income immigrant and refugee women in the UK. Her research focuses on three main areas; impact on financial capability, intra-household bargaining power and health and well-being.
"That has helped me a lot, I haven't been involved with education at such a high level before and I've learnt to read and write in a different language, I learnt about research methods and how to conduct research and so on. This has helped me as a research assistant, but also it did help me in the other side which I'm really passionate about which is social change. So I learnt that if you want to do something for society you need to look at what is missing and what people need and you create something to address their needs."
Fatma has also created an organisation which hopes to help educate women on sexual matters in Egypt.
"Most women in Egypt suffer from Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and they have problems with their sexual life and speaking about sex is taboo. Many women don't understand their bodies and women's pleasure, what is consent, sexual orientation and things like that. There are a lot of questions asked in feminist organisations which are basic, we all need to know that. You need to know your own body before anything so I started this club and we just have some female doctors and female researchers in gender and sexualities. We created a safe platform for women to engage and speak about their sex life and ask questions if they have any. Also, if women have any sort of sexual disease in Egypt, they don't go to the doctors because it is a big taboo. So a lot of people are spreading HIV and things like that. So we are trying to provide such help for them like medical support or tests or anything they can do at home to know what's going on. Also unplanned pregnancy because there is no abortion because it's illegal in Egypt so there is lots of things that we try to provide for them, just advice, just help - knowing there is a safe place they can go."
GCU Alumni magazine, for alumni and friends of GCU, is produced annually.
The prestigious Alumnus of the Year award celebrates the successes and contributions of our graduates.

A heartwarming NBC family drama slated to release on March 19 is set in a unique apartment building in Brooklyn. The residents have built a bond and have emerged as a close-knit family. We meet Sarah (Michaela McManus), a nurse and single mom raising a creative teen; Gabe (Daren Kagasoff), a young law student who just got a much older and unexpected roommate; Ava (Moran Atias), who must secure the future of her young, U.S.-born son when ICE comes knocking; Nick (Warren Christie) a veteran who's just returned from war; and Ron and Patricia, the heart and soul of the building, All of them have captivating tales all their own and the drama that is so simple has an impactful and revolutionary message.


Typeforms are an integral part of modern communication. Since the invention of the printing press, people have used printed —and more recently— electronic type to communicate. Could you imagine a newspaper or magazine where all the articles were handwritten and copied? Imagine how difficult it would be to compose an e-mail or use desktop publishing software to create party invitations without the existence of typefaces.
Typefaces are used in print and electronic media not just to communicate a legible message, but as an expressive tool of the author or designer. Each typeface can be used to convey a different style or atmosphere. There are typefaces evocative of Art Deco, The old American West, Weddings and other traditionally formal ceremonies, childhood, The Middle Ages, handwritten text, and an endless variety of other styles.
It is almost imperative as a graphic designer, and absolutely imperative as a typographer, to develop an appreciation and understanding of both modern and historic typography. In everyday life, one should pay attention to the stylistic and practical uses of typefaces in various kinds of media. Note what feelings the designer was hoping to convey, or what style they were attempting to mimic.
A typeface is a style of lettering, such as Helvetica or Times. A font is the set of a typeface, used to produce the letters. On a computer, it is a file used by the system. People often confuse "font" with "typeface". For example, Helvetica, point 12 is a different font from Helvetica, point 14, even though both are of the same typeface.
A set of similar typefaces is called a "family." Within a family, typefaces are categorized as parent (e.g. Times, Helvetica) or relative (e.g. bold, italic). Typefaces are categorized also according to style (e.g. italic, book), weight (e.g. bold or light), and width (e.g. expanded).
Type is measured in points, from top to bottom of the letters' invisible bounding boxes. Since each letter fills up a percentage of that bounding box, when the size of the box is increased, the letter size increases.
The divisions you may already be familiar with are the serif and sans-serif fonts. Serif fonts, like Times, have the little feet and variable line width characters which make them easy to read. Sans-serif fonts, like Helvetica and Verdana, are drawn with more even-width lines and don't have the little feet, which gives them a clean, modern feel.
Text can have a number of different purposes in a design. It can be used for pure graphic appeal —or aesthetically— a case in which legibility may be less important than aesthetics. An example of graphical use of text is possibly that of major titles. Text may also, more commonly, be used for communication on a linguistic basis rather than visual, in which case, legibility is always the priority of the designer. A few examples of usage of text for linguistic communication are: the body text of an article or book, the text of a restaurant menu, or in product descriptions in a catalog.
A font may be used either successfully or poorly, depending on its degree of relevance in the project and the skill of the designer. The designer must pay careful attention to letter, word, and line spacing as well as the size of the typeface and its stylistic contribution to the overall aesthetic of the project. He or she must optimize the properties of the text for its purpose in the overall design (aesthetic or communicative) and maintain legibility where it is necessary, and the designer is also expected to add visual variety with formatting and layout, as well as possible font changes where applicable.
A designer has to choose a font that is not only appropriate to the mood of the design, but that is appropriate for the text's purpose in the design. For example, there are many kinds of decorative typefaces that one would not want to set an entire article in. This is because a purely decorative typeface tends to be distracting to the content of the message and tire the reader's eyes when used in large portions. Our eyes are most comfortable reading less idiosyncratic typefaces. Decorative typefaces are better suited for display type (greater than 14 points), while simpler type is better used for text (less than 14 points). To maintain readability in large blocks of text —such as in an article— stay consistent, and use only one family.
Standard graphic design wisdom holds that of the categories of serif and sans-serif, serif fonts are easier to read. This is because when reading, the eye quickly scans the tops of the letterforms, and a serif font has more immediately recognizable features thanks to the tiny 'eye-holds' provided by the serifs. There is a notion slowly gaining acceptance, that, for the purposes of purely electronic design, the reverse is sometimes true. Sans-serif fonts are more readable in this case because a screen has a lower resolution than a printed page, so the serifs only serve to smudge the letter forms.
Some typefaces such as Times, originally designed for the London Times newspaper, or Futura, designed as a letterpress (raised plate) type for printing on paper, were intended for the printed page. Others such as Georgia and Verdana were designed for the lower resolution of text on a screen. The shapes of these typefaces are developed to optimize visibility in smaller sizes on a computer monitor. In larger sizes, these differences don't matter as much.
For maximum readability on the page: Serif; On the screen: Sans.
Keep the typeface at a reasonable size for reading. The numbered size of a typeface may reflect the overall height of the lines that stick out of the type, but not the readability size that relates to the inner dimensions of the letters. The type size should be chosen on a visual basis, and not purely on that of font size numbers. Usually, type that is proportioned so that the lower case size is larger in proportion to the overall height of the font, can produce a greater amount of legible words into an equivalent space.
Word spacing should be so that the reader is aware of the beginnings and endings of words with little or no difficulty. Experiment with spacing settings to find the best one. Letter spacing and line spacing may be used to expand on the expressivity of the font. Leave enough space between the lines so that the text is legible. Experimentation is important here, too. The reader's eyes should be pulled to the next word as they read, not to the lines above and below. The letter spacing should be that so the reader can easily differentiate between different characters. Yet again: experiment, experiment, experiment.
Kerning is the horizontal spacing between exactly 2 glyphs. When you are hand kerning text (logotype or headline text usually) try to imagine that the baseline and glyph shapes make a container, and imagine pouring water in. Try to make the negative space between each pair of glyphs hold the same amount of water.
Tracking is the horizontal space added to or subtracted from the space between each and every pair of glyphs in a selection. In other words tracking adds to or subtracts from the kerning of all pairs of glyphs in a selection.
Leading is the vertical spacing between separate lines of type. There is a relationship between the length of the line and the amount of leading needed for easy legibility. Longer lines need more leading to prevent the reader's eye from slipping up or down when moving from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. It then logically follows that short lines are preferable if information density is important as in a newspaper.
Typographic Color is something of a misnomer in that it is only concerned with one aspect of color: value. The darkness or lightness of a block of text on average is the typographic color of that block of text. Typographic color is strongly influenced by spacing. Consider the difference in the emotions aroused by a dark block of text (long lines with little tracking and leading as seen in many legal agreements) and a light block of text with lots of space.
With text used purely for graphical or display purposes, spacing, fonts, or colors that would be considered otherwise unreasonable can be utilized to create a visually appealing effect. The legibility rules that are extremely important in body text aren't as critical to effect the larger typeface size. Make sure that before deciding to use more untraditional methods of formatting text, you consider the desires of your client, and/or the stylistic effect the formatting will have on the overall design. Is it supposed to be a classic, elegant wedding invitation, or is this a layout for a skateboarding magazine article? Consider the circumstances and break or follow the rules of tradition appropriately. Remember that a common amateur mistake is to break too many —or the wrong— formatting rules in rebellion of the idea that aesthetics have constraints. Then, they end up with a horrible mess of a design that looks good under no circumstances. The purpose of a graphic designer is to merge optimal form and function. Remember: anything can be art, but not anything can look good!
A good layout is one that shows good use of the elements and principles of design. Most importantly, a designer should use the principles of design to draw the reader's eye both to and through the design easily. The elements of design are: color, value, texture, shape, form, space, and line. The principles of design are: contrast, emphasis, balance, unity, pattern, movement, and rhythm. The specifics of both the principles and elements vary from source to source, but the idea remains the same.

Fifteen Auggies are paddling down the Mississippi River for 100 days while learning about history, politics, and the environment for 16 credits.
An experiential education is a trademark of an Augsburg education. "We do this because we think this is the best way to learn both about the Mississippi River and to learn in general about what's going on out in the world," said River Semester program director Joe Underhill, who will be teaching along the way.
For many students, this is their first time camping. "I've never camped, never canoed in my life. I'm nervous because it's out of my comfort zone but I'm very excited to see what it's going to be like", student Kristy Ornelas told KSTP.

And the second on Dhul-Hijjah 10 of each year, in the first year of hijrah.
They are: An imposition of sufficiency according to the Hanbalis, the Imami.
And a confirmed Sunnah according to the Malikis, and the Shafi'is; It is obligatory at the tap. The prayer will be on the morning of the first days of Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr.
And it is proven in the hadith: that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, persevered in it, and commanded the men and women to go out for it.
and the Eid prayer is two rak'ahs, during which the takbeer is prescribed, and then one sermon.
Among the etiquette of Eid prayer, it is desirable to wash and perfume and to wear the most beautiful clothes.
On pray Eid al fitr prayer , it is desirable to break the fast immediately after the dawn prayer, by eating some dates or the like before going out to the prayer.
What is on Eid al-Adha, so it is mustahab to abstain after the dawn prayer until the time of sacrifice.
And performing prayer in the open (musalla) is better than performing it in mosques if possible, otherwise there is nothing wrong with doing it in mosques.
And about How to pray Eid al fitr prayer from mosques, as you can pray Eid al fitr prayer by following the imam.

And complete how to pray Eid al fitr prayer.
One of the characteristics of the pray Eid al fitr prayer is that the imam attends the people and leads the people in two rak'ahs, saying the first takbeer of the Ihram, and then saying six or seven takbeers afterwards.
And that is for the hadith of Aisha, may God be pleased with her:
"The first takbeer for al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha is seven, and the second is five takbeers apart from the two takbeers for bowing."
Then he recites Al-Fatihah, and recites Surah Q in the first rak'ah, and in the second rak'ah he rises with takbeer.
And when he finishes standing, he should say five takbeers, and recite Surat Al-Fatihah, And all these structure during pray Eid al fitr prayer.
Then Surat Al-Qamar:
"The Hour has approached and the moon has split."
These two Surahs were recited by the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, on the two Eids.
And if he wants, he reads in the first Surah Al-Ala and in the second Surah Al-Ghashiya with
"Has the hadith of Al-Ghashiya come to you?".
It was reported from the Prophet Muhammad that he was reciting on the feast, glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, and Al-Ghasheya.
This is what is stated in the Sunnah about how to pray Eid al fitr prayer.

When we talk about how to pray Eid al fitr prayer, or in other words pray Eid al fitr prayer, The scholars differed in the number of takbeers.
The takbeer is defined as: glorifying and glorifying God, the belief that there is nothing greater or greater than God – the Most High – and belittling what is below Him.
He is the great who has been humiliated and everything is subject to him, and the takbeer is that God – the Most High – is greater than everything, and dearer than everything.
The scholars differed in the number of Eid takbeers. The Shafi'is hold that the Eid prayer is two rak'ahs. The first rak'ah says seven takbeers, except for the takbeer of Ihram.
In the second there are five takbeers, except for the takbeer standing, and all the takbeers are before the recitation.

The first rak'ah
The Eid al fitr prayer is two rak'ahs, and it has no adhan or iqaamah, as is well-known and by agreement of the fuqaha'. However, its quality differs from one sect to another, as follows:
Hanafi: Three takbirs are said in the first rak'ah after the takbeer of Ihram.
The Malikis and Hanbalis: Six takbeers should be said after the Ihram takbeer in the first rak'ah.
Shafi'is: Say seven takbeers in the first rak'ah after the takbeer of Ihram.
This is what was reported from the scholars regarding the first rak'ah prayer of Eid al-Fitr, where the scholars were interested in clarifying how to pray Eid al fitr prayer.

The second rak'ah
How to pray Eid al Fitr prayer, Especially the second rak'ah and the number of takbeers.
The majority of scholars also differed on the number of takbeers in the second rak'ah, as follows:
Shafi'is: Five takbirs in the second rak'ah, before the recitation.
Hanafi: Three takbirs in the second rak'ah, after the recitation.
Malikis and Hanbalis: Five takbirs in the second rak'ah after reading.
After we have finished explaining how to pray Eid al-Fitr prayer, we will begin to explain the sermon on Eid prayer.
It is desirable to attend the Eid sermon after completing the prayer, even if the worshiper was originally given the choice between listening and leaving.
And that is because he, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, said after the Eid prayer:
"We are delivering the sermon, so whoever likes to sit for the sermon, let him sit, and whoever likes to go, he goes."
There are many etiquettes and Sunnahs related to the Eid prayer, including the following:
The takbeer is from sunset on the last day of Ramadan until the imam goes out for prayer.
It is desirable to decorate the two Eids in dress.
Eating before going out to the prayer place on Eid al-Fitr.
Going to prayer by one route and returning by another.
It is desirable for him to go to the Eid prayer-place walking, not riding. If he goes riding, there is nothing wrong with that.
If the Eid prayer is in the mosque, then if he enters the mosque, he prays two units of prayer.

After we have finished explaining how to pray Eid al-Fitr prayer in the mosque, we will discuss how to pray Eid al-Fitr prayer at home.
The four jurists of the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools agreed that the Eid prayer is to be offered in two units, and the opinions of scholars on its ruling varied.
The Hanafi school considers it obligatory, the Maliki jurists and the Shafi'i jurists view it as a confirmed Sunnah on the authority of the Prophet -peace be upon him.
It is permissible for a Muslim to pray the Eid at home, whether he prays alone or in congregation.
It is also permissible for the one who missed the Eid prayer in congregation to pray with his family.

One of the classic moments in childhood is prepping and eating cookies made from a cookie dough log with your fam. Well, Jennifer Bush of Ice Box Bakery has reinvented the, um, log with her delicious (and healthy!) cookie doughs for the modern parent and child. Minus all the nasty hydrogenated shortening, fillers and preservatives, that is.
How did Ice Box Bakery begin?
I trained as a pastry chef, and I worked mostly as a restaurant dessert chef. I always had the cookie dough idea in the back of my head. When I had my daughters, Chloe, 10, and Charlotte, 7, I took off from work. It was then that I started developing the dough and the flavors. I launched a bakery in Boulder, CO and we sold the cookie dough out of the pastry case. We would roll it in parchment paper and sell it. We got amazing feedback. Moms would come in to buy it for soccer games, parties, any time they needed to make cookies.
When did you decide to focus solely on the cookie dough?
In November 2007, Whole Foods in Boulder said that there was a real niche for it. They sold it and then we began expanding store to store and region to region.
How would you describe the cookie dough?
It's made with all natural ingredients. We knew that we could make it healthier than what is currently being sold. It's a clean cookie dough, made with natural ingredients. It's a cookie dough you can feel good about feeding your kids.
I love that it's packaged as a log. How did you come up with the retro theme?
I really wanted to hearken back to a time when moms baked more. Moms were home and they had the time to make cookies for their kids. I also love the format of the slice-and-bake. Also, the packaging forms a really tight air barrier. The cookie dough roll is very recognizable, too.
What are your most popular flavors?
Of course, chocolate chip is our best seller, but our cherry pie cookie does very well, too. We have seven flavors, but two are local only to Colorado.
You must have grown up eating a ton of cookie dough.
No, I didn't! My mom was a great baker, so I never really had it as a child. As an adult, I've had it often. The other brands have so much hydrogenated shortening in the dough that it crumbles when you cut it. If you really taste it, you'll realize how funny that tastes!
[laughs] Oh, so you mean it's not supposed to slide down your throat like that? Now, where is the line going?
I'm planning on branching out into more baked goods, like cinnamon rolls and brownies. There are so many kids and adults who are celiacs, so we're doing a gluten free chocolate chip that will launch in the next 6 months. I'm excited about it.
You must be the coolest mom ever in your daughters' school to own a cookie dough company!
Chloe and Charlotte definitely love it. The business consumes a lot of my day, though, so I found the best thing to do was to involve the girls. They will help me put things together, and do Kinko's runs with me. It gives them a feeling of ownership, which is important to me. I wanted it to be a positive experience for them.
Do you think they will help you with the business when they are older?
I think Chloe will. She's a foodie! They're both so helpful, though. They will taste test new flavors for me, although sometimes they'll ask me not to put the cookies in their lunchbox all the time! [laughs]

My experiment of injecting radial conductive flow (no rotation) of a less viscous fluid into a more viscous one was unique in that the fluids were highly viscous to start with. That high viscosity dropped out the rotational, time-based terms on the left side of the Energy Equation. Since the video camera used captured only 35 frames per second, slowing the behavior was paramount and this was done by raising the viscosity, thus slowing the droplet's oscillatory frequency.
During my experiments that covered injecting a less viscous fluid into a more viscous fluid, I chose three different (equally spaced) viscosity contrasts and three different (equally spaced) flow rates. But I also had some fun in attempting to see what would happen as one fluid expanded into another when the inner water-based fluid was injected into an outer oil-based fluid that had a nearly equal viscosity to the inner fluid.
Surprisingly the expanding interface between the two fluids began growing inward as if it were cleaving the inner fluid.
The first step in the unsteady process of the inner fluid expansion is always the circular interface shifting to one side of the injection hole. When plotting the amplitude of the interface about the average radius (equipotential flow field), we see that the shift, or offset, is the first sine wave incident on the interface.
The smaller the difference in viscosities across the interface, the later the wave troughs begin to form, the more waves are incident on the interface, and the greater the resulting curvature.
When the inner and outer fluids have the same viscosities then the interface is relatively stable. But when the inner fluid is a very small amount less in viscousity, then there is still the problem of the outer fluid not being forced out of the way fast enough. The expanding droplet offsets from its injection hole (source) when the first random perturbation is encountered.
But the interface or circular inner fluid is stable enough to disallow a disturbance by any further perturbations.
So, in this case of one offset wave, initially the curvature of the interface is extremely low and constant. That is consistent with what was seen in other tests, that the smaller number of waves form early and have low curvature. However, as time proceeds, the one trough formed from the first wave superimposing on the interface takes on an extremely high curvature and appears to burrow into and equally divide the circular inner fluid.
Upon further observation, the flow field has appeared to change from pure conduction. Because the boundary of the inner water-based fluid becomes stable (impervious to perturbations attempting to cross it) instead of the flow continuing its radial conduction of fluid, the inner fluid is forced around the inside of the stable interface and grows the inner fluid into the wave crest.
Since all wave troughs when they initiate are stable localities at certain radial distances from the original centroid of the flow, the inner fluid appears to cleave itself. The inner fluid flows around its own narrow trough appearing to cut itself in two equal parts.
A primitive cell resting on a hot surface made up of comparable fluids would expand just enough to produce such a trough and complete its cell division amoebalike by cytoplasmic flow away from the trough initiation site.
Computational mathematics where these equations are applied to cells representing space set the limits of relationships across boundaries. (or the number of boundaries across which relationships might form).
Relationships determine existence. Nothing can relate except across a boundary and a boundary does not exist except where there is a change in perspective. With change then comes the limits of information transfer, or ways of describing, or generalizing, about the data sampled across that boundary.

Sony Brought Its PlayStation A-Game Today
Today's PS5 showcase stood above other summer events
Screenshot: Sony
Sony held a PS5 showcase today. It announced new games there. It showed some more footage of ones it had already revealed. There were big name drops, the occasional dud, and a lot of CGI. In other words: a completely standard video game marketing event. Against the backdrop of the past year under a pandemic, however, it was like watching a press event from the before times.
One of the best-ever RPGs, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, teased a remake. God of War: Ragnarok got actual gameplay and its name finally confirmed. Insomniac, which just released two huge games, revealed two more, a Wolverine game and Spider-Man 2 no less, the latter of which already has a release window of 2023. And Square Enix's Forspoken looks like Infamous inside Final Fantasy XV. Plus a bunch of other games, like this sci-fi action platformer about aliens evicting humans from Earth came off the bench to lend additional support and intriguing vibes.
Will any of these games be good? Will they look like their trailers? Will they even come out when Sony says they will? I have no idea. But you know what will probably be good? Everything Insomniac's working on, at least given its recent track record. No surprise, as the Burbank-based studio will soon out-staff the rest of Sony.
Remember, Spider-Man: Miles Morales was so good. And now that narrative team gets to take a crack at Logan, one of the few superheroes to not be completely hollowed out and turned to dust by the last two decades of market over saturation. Yet another video game grizzled white guy? Sure, but just this once, it actually sounds like a good idea. Naughty Dog, if you're working on a Nathan Drake 3.0, please retire him immediately.
What I'm saying is, it was a very good showcase in an otherwise weird year for games. Coming off the rush of a new console launch in 2020, 2021 has seen a lot of delays as developers grapple with the cumulative effects of the ongoing pandemic. While it has not been a slow year for games—lots of amazing stuff came out this summer alone—it has been an off year for the big budget games industry marketing machine. But Sony managed to deliver some surprisingly satisfying hype boosters where others have struggled to find the vein.
E3 came back after a year's hiatus. Do you remember the big showstoppers there? Xbox put forth Bethesda's Starfield, but the teasers were nothing to write home about. Nintendo promised more Nintendo games like WarioWare: Get It Together and Metroid Dread. Both are solid staples but aren't exactly showstoppers. Ubisoft revealed it is also making more Nintendo games. Square Enix showed Guardians of the Galaxy. Elden Ring finally got an official gameplay trailer.
Then there was EA Play, which announced the return of Dead Space with a remake of the first game, Quakecon, which showed 10-years-later isn't too late to continue releasing Skyrim, and Gamescom Opening Night, where the big news was a new Marvel game from the XCOM developers. Most of these shows were fine. Most of them could have also probably been skipped.
Why did Sony succeed where so many others have failed? Those extremely mainstream Marvel licenses sure do help. Insomniac was only acquired in 2019, a year after Microsoft went on its spending spree, and it doesn't seem to have skipped a beat. That's not a knock against any of the fine studios making Xbox games. We just haven't really gotten to see much of them yet, and what has been teased has occasionally been a bit on the bland side. A new Perfect Dark will be cool, but those skyscrapers and sandstorms in the initial reveal left me kind of meh.
Metroid Dread looks great, but it's hard not to feel like Nintendo has a giant Breath of the Wild 2 release date announcement burning a hole in its pocket. Clearly it's been keeping its cards very close to the chest following covid-19 slowdowns. Remember the Switch Pro? September Nintendo Direct when?
Much has been made, in the age of the Nintendo Direct, of the rise of publisher or developer-specific showcases that, in the olden days, would only be given the spotlight under a much bigger event. Perhaps even a simple blog post with a trailer. So far this year, Sony has managed to shine the biggest spotlight of all, at least so far. Maybe the 2021 Game Awards will show them up? What other superheroes are left?

Sinergy, cold blood and being able to quickly resolve puzzles are the key to reaching out the exit and see the light of the sun again.
The Horror room will bring you in a terrifying and addicting atmosphere.
The realism and immersion that this room give you are very crazy. You must try it!
Really good!! I tried the game and I felt totally involved in it. Finding the solution and escape in 53 minutes was amazing and a fabulous experience!

Historical Reenactment in Today's Virginia
Geekin' Out Over the American Civil War
By Julie DiNisio
Virginia is a state overflowing with classic American history. It is documented in textbooks and can be found in any library. However, historical reenactment groups choose to represent this history in an entirely different way – by getting into character and bringing it to life.
Not all reenactment groups and situations are equal. A farb is a reenactor who is the least concerned about historical authenticity. Farbs most often reenact Civil War era history with modern day elements – like tennis shoes, zippers, and polyester – mixed in with their semi-historical ensembles.
At the other extreme are progressive reenactors. Progressives place their emphasis on complete historical accuracy, which involves hand-sewing all parts of their costumes and only eating what would be seasonally and historically appropriate.
Most commonly found are mainstream reenactors, who focus on being superficially accurate. These men and women stay in character in front of an audience; the clothing they wear is usually only partially hand-sewn.
Kevin Grantz, a mainstream reenactor, founded Virginia Patriots, Inc. seven years ago. Grantz's is a non-profit, volunteer-based company which reenacts eras from Jamestown to World War II. Members are expected to purchase their own historical ensembles, of which Grant said, "You can usually get away with less now."
Grantz has lived in Richmond, Virginia for about forty years. He began Virginia Patriots, Inc. while he was working as a reenactor at St. John's Church and considers himself a "historical communicator" to bridge the gap between historians and the people "who only give a rap about history in the casual sense."
"As I began to research, I realized how this country is ignorant of its history," Grantz said. Grantz most often plays George Washington, clothed in a two thousand dollar costume he purchased himself.
"It is an educational and an emotional mission. Great feedback from the audience offsets the small paycheck," Grantz said of his loving reenacting for history - not the money gained from it.
Virginia Patriots, Inc. reenacts regularly in the Richmond area. Members can be found every Sunday from June until September performing Patrick Henry's "Liberty or Death" speech at St. John's Church. The lives of other famous men – George Washington, John Paul Jones, and Frederick Douglass – are also artfully and historically rendered.
Todd Post is another man with a passion for history. He is the founder and President of the 2d Virginia Regiment. Post began his group in 1998 when he moved to Richmond. 2d Virginia Regiment has about thirty members, ranging from college students to retired military colonels.
The 2d Virginia Regiment mostly reenact the events from the Revolutionary War period. While Post does not have an academic career in history, he became interested in the Revolutionary War period while growing up in New Jersey.
"Virginia history tends to focus on the Civil War, but the state also had a huge contribution in the Revolutionary War," Post said.
As in Virginia Patriots, Inc., members purchase or make their own costumes. The capable members hold workshops to teach others sewing techniques. As Grantz said, "It's ironic that guys who are interested in the Civil War and guns have to learn how to sew their costumes."
The Regiment operates off of donations and small stipends from appearances at parades and fairs. For major events, the group works in conjunction with historical societies and associations.
Post attested to his hobby and passion when he declared his love of "sharing history with other people." The Regiment's next big event is called Prelude to Victory and will be held in Colonial Williamsburg in October.
Whether a farb, a progressive, or a mainstream reenactment group, each faction brings something unique to the historical table. Regardless of how relaxed or stringent, each one shares, and usually well accomplishes, the art of bringing history to life.

If the item sold has a defect, the Consumer can:
submit a request for a price reduction;
file a statement of withdrawal from the agreement; unless the Seller immediately and without undue inconvenience to the Consumer, replaces the defective item with a defect-free item or removes a defect. However, if the item was already replaced or repaired by the Seller or the Seller did not fulfil the obligation to replace the item with a defect-free item, or to remove the defect, the Seller is not entitled to replace the item with a new one or to remove the defect.
The Consumer can, rather than removal of the defect proposed by the Seller, require that the item be replaced with a defect-free one, or demand removal of the defect instead of replacement, unless bringing the item into compliance with the agreement in a manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or would require excessive costs in comparison with the method proposed by the Seller, whereby an assessment of cost excessiveness will involve the value of the item free from defect, the type and the significance of the defect detected, as well as the inconvenience that would be caused to the Consumer, if any other method of satisfaction were used.
The Consumer cannot withdraw from the agreement, if the defect is insignificant.
If the item sold has a defect, the Consumer can also:
request that the item be replaced with a defect-free item;
request that the defect be removed.
The Seller is required to replace the defective item with a defect-free item or remove a defect in reasonable time, without undue inconvenience to the Consumer.
The Seller can refuse to meet the Consumer's request, if bringing the defective item into compliance with the agreement in the manner selected by the Consumer is impossible or, compared to the other possible method of achieving compliance with the agreement, would require excessive costs.
Where the defective item was installed, the Consumer can require that the Seller disassemble and reassemble the item, once it was replaced with a defect-free item or once the defect was removed, but is obliged to bear part of the associated costs exceeding the price of the item sold, or may require the Seller to pay part of the cost of disassembly and reassembly, up to the price of the items sold. In the event of non-performance of the obligation by the Seller, the Consumer is authorised to carry out these activities at the Seller's expense and risk.
The Consumer who exercises the warranty rights is obliged to deliver the defective item, at the Seller's expense, to the address for complaints, and if due to the nature of the item or the manner of assembling it its delivery by the Consumer would be extremely difficult, the Consumer is obliged to make the item available to the Seller in the place where the item is located.

The cost of returning the defective items to the Seller, commissioned via the DHL Panel, will be borne by the Seller.
The Seller will bear the costs of replacement or repair, except as described in Article 4 point 10.
The Seller is obliged to accept the defective item from the Consumer in the event of replacing it with a defect-free item or in the event of a withdrawal from the agreement.
The Seller will, within fourteen days, respond to:
a request for a price reduction;
a statement of withdrawal from the agreement;
a request that the item be replaced with a defect-free item;
a request that the defect be removed.
Otherwise, it will be assumed that the Seller considers the Consumer's statement or request justified.
The Seller is liable under warranty, if the physical defect is stated before the lapse of two years since the time of receipt of item by the Consumer, and if the subject of the sale is a used item - before the lapse of one year from the time of receipt of item by the Consumer.
The Consumer's claim for removing a defect or for replacing the sold item with a defect-free item will be subject to statute of limitations with the lapse of one year from the day when the defect was detected, but not earlier that before the lapse of two years since the time of receipt of item by the Consumer, and if the subject of the sale is a used item - before the lapse of one year from the time of receipt of item by the Consumer.
Where the use-by date specified for the item by the Seller or the manufacturer expires after two years from the time of receipt of item by the Consumer, the Seller is liable under warranty for physical defects of the items stated before that date.
By the dates specified in Article 4, the Consumer can file a statement of withdrawal from the agreement or of a price reduction due to a physical defect of the item sold, and if the Consumer requested replacing the item with a defect-free item or removing the defect, the time period to submit a statement of withdrawal from the agreement or of a price reduction will commence upon ineffective expiry of the deadline for replacing the item or removing the defect.
If a right under warranty is sought before a court or arbitration tribunal, the time period to exercise other rights enjoyed by the Consumer in respect thereof will be suspended until the final completion of the proceedings. This will apply accordingly to mediation proceedings, whereby the time period for exercising other rights under warranty enjoyed by the Consumer will commence from the date when a court refused to approve a settlement agreement concluded before a mediator, or from ineffective termination of mediation.
Provisions of Article 4 will apply to the exercise of the rights under warranty for legal defects, provided that the time period begins on the day when the Consumer became aware of the existence of the defect, and if the Consumer became aware of the existence of the defect only as a result of a third party lawsuit - from the day when the judgement given in a dispute with a third party became final.
If due to the defect of the item the Consumer filed a statement of withdrawal from the agreement or of a price reduction, the Consumer can claim compensation for the damage suffered as a result of having executed the agreement without knowledge about the existence of the defect, even if the damage was the result of circumstances for which the Seller is not liable, in particular, the Consumer can request reimbursement of the cost of the execution of the agreement, the cost of receiving, transporting, storage and insurance of the item, reimbursement of expenses to the extent in which they did not generate benefits to the Consumer, and did not receive their refund from a third party and reimbursement of the trial costs. This is without prejudice to the provisions on obligation to repair the damage according to general principles.
The lapse of any deadline for detecting the defect does not exclude the rights under warranty, if the Seller fraudulently concealed the defect.

The Seller commits to protect personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act of 29 August 1997 and the Electronic Services Act of 18 July 2002.
