Vision on a different scale
Embedded processing is opening up a huge market for imaging, a market that machine vision suppliers are trying to tap into. Greg Blackman attended the Embedded Vision Summit in Santa Clara, where Allied Vision launched its new camera platform
Imaging is becoming ubiquitous. Image sensors and computing are now so cheap that imaging is just another function on any number of products. Autonomous cars are able to navigate and avoid collisions and obstacles thanks, in part, to vision sensors; Dyson's new robot vacuum cleaner navigates using vision, while robots can harvest crops when they ripen and destroy weeds selectively, all using advanced imaging (more on Dyson's robot vacuum cleaner on page 28 and automated harvesting on page 32). Embedded vision, a term meaning essentially that the image processing happens onboard the device, could be used to describe each of these examples – and it's infiltrating all areas of society, from healthcare to transport to retail.
The machine vision sector deals in advanced imaging as does embedded vision – and machine vision has embedded products, smart cameras being one example – yet the two markets are largely separate, mainly down to price. 'The embedded vision market has really come out of the high-volume consumer sector,' commented Mark Williamson, director of corporate market development at machine vision supplier Stemmer Imaging. 'Machine vision hasn't really touched this market because the price point of what we've had as technology is too high. Automotive and robot companies have gone and developed vision technology from scratch. The machine vision industry is waking up to the fact that there is this whole mass market development going on that's not running on a PC.'
Machine vision companies are indeed waking up to the embedded market. At the Embedded Vision Summit, a computer vision conference in Santa Clara, California in May, organised by the Embedded Vision Alliance, Allied Vision launched a €99 camera targeting the embedded vision market. What's special about the Allied Vision 1 product line is that it contains an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) processor, a first for any machine vision camera maker because the volumes of cameras sold into machine vision are not normally high enough to support such a system-on-chip. ASIC chips require high volumes to make them cost-effective, and so this camera aims to be a bridge between the high-performance, costly and low-volume industrial vision market and the higher-volume, lower-cost embedded market.
Andreas Gerk, Allied Vision's CTO, told Imaging and Machine Vision Europe during the show that the typical cameras in the embedded market are not as rich in features as in the machine vision sector. Allied Vision hopes to offer some of the functionality found in machine vision to embedded vision developers through its new product line. Gerk said that the new camera platform is 'totally different to what we have done before'.
Allied Vision is not the only machine vision supplier to try and tap into this market; other notable names exhibiting at the event in Santa Clara included Ximea, MVTec, Euresys, and Vision Components. Basler's head of new business development, Mark Hebbel, gave a tutorial at the summit on choosing time of flight sensors for embedded applications, and the company is upgrading it Dart cameras with a MIPI interface that makes them more compatible with embedded vision. Stemmer Imaging's Common Vision Blox and MVTec's Halcon software can now both run on embedded platforms from ARM.
Some of the feedback Allied Vision received from its market analysis during the early stages in developing the 1 product line was that there was a lack of camera options available for embedded systems. Paul Maria Zalewski, product line manager at Allied Vision, remarked that the company has come under greater price pressure in recent years in the lower price segments for which it caters. 'We ran into a situation where only the price matters to most of the customers in specific market segments,' he remarked. The idea of developing a system-on-chip means the company can 'offer functionality in a price segment that was never reached before'.
Zalewski commented: 'We did some calculations on the break-even point of an FPGA-based versus an ASIC-based camera. And yes, we are talking about huge and ambitious numbers for the future.' He added: 'In the end we wanted to create something new and revolutionary for the market and the customers. I am optimistic and, [from] the feedback we got from the Embedded Vision Summit in Santa Clara, the Allied Vision 1 product line will give engineers new options for designing embedded vision applications.'
MIPI standard
Of course €99 could still be considered a high-end price for the embedded vision market – cameras costing $10 are available. But, as Williamson at Stemmer Imaging noted, while the components might be cheap, the development cost to build an embedded vision system is a lot higher. 'It really only makes sense if volumes are in the thousands or more,' he said. 'If you create a custom embedded processor for five products, it doesn't make sense because it takes a lot longer to develop than a PC-based system would.' Plus, in Europe, there are requirements like CE approval, which adds complexity.
This is why, from a machine vision industry perspective, a standard for embedded vision is so important, to make it easier to develop embedded systems and to ensure cameras can interoperate with embedded processors. The EMVA is currently working on a machine vision standard based on the MIPI interface, which is really a consumer product interface – ARM chips are supplied with a MIPI connection and it is the interface used for cameras on a mobile phone, for example. Allied Vision's 1 product line includes a MIPI interface.
USB 3.0 is an option for building an embedded vision system, according to Williamson, but USB 3.0 uses processor bandwidth, it doesn't have direct memory access into the processor. MIPI, on the other hand, has been designed specifically by the processor manufacturers so that the camera data feeds directly into the processor. The EMVA embedded standard therefore makes embedded systems more compatible with the machine vision sector. 'Mobile phone cameras are not machine vision cameras; they're not asynchronous reset or global shutter, all the things a machine vision system requires,' Williamson explained. 'The cameras that are available to work with MIPI at the moment don't meet many of the machine vision market needs.'
The standard is being driven by the machine vision industry. 'From the Embedded Vision Alliance point of view, they are less interested in standards rather than promoting partnerships to realise solutions,' Williamson added. 'Those in the embedded vision community are interested in collaborating and trying to get people to cross-fertilise technologies. It's the machine vision sector that's saying "we need a standard to make the cameras interoperate better with the embedded processors".'
While the embedded vision market represents an opportunity for machine vision suppliers, there is the question of how embedded processing will alter factory automation. Most factory inspection systems are still PC-based, something Zalewski feels will largely remain the case, in the short term at least. PCs are more powerful than embedded boards, and traditional systems can be upgraded with additional peripherals much easier than an embedded system designed for a specific task.
Allied Vision's 1 product line contains an ASIC chip and targets the embedded vision market
However, he added that the initial cost of an embedded system is much lower than a classic PC-based system. 'From my point of view, it is only a matter of time until higher performance will be available in embedded boards. This will accelerate the transition from PC-based systems… to embedded systems.'
To some extent, the machine vision sector already has embedded vision solutions in the form of smart cameras. 'Inside a smart camera from Teledyne Dalsa there will be an embedded processor running algorithms with a custom processor board and customer camera interface. But it's a product dedicated to factory automation,' remarked Williamson. He added: 'Some embedded processors are getting close to the performance of PCs, so you can really start to build quite powerful vision systems.
'In the machine vision market, at the moment people are generally taking Nvidia or Odroid processors and building lower volume embedded vision applications,' he continued. 'To do embedded vision properly you need to have volume. I think the majority of successful embedded vision projects will be at the volumes where it's viable to develop a dedicated application specific processor board. We are already seeing companies like Accrosser offer template boards, which for volume can be customised.'
New business models
Will embedded vision be a revolution or an evolution for the machine vision market? Patrick Schick, product manager at machine vision camera maker IDS Imaging Development Systems, asked this question in a presentation he gave at the UK Industrial Vision Association's machine vision conference, which took place in Milton Keynes, UK, at the end of April. Schick concluded evolution. He said that embedded processing will come into its own for reducing, as early as possible, the data that's transferred to a back-end system for analysis in order to speed up processing.
So how will companies generate profit from embedded vision? Williamson asked: do engineers buying embedded components expect the same support model? 'I predict a change so the general support is provided by the community, while the integration specialist provides paid support for custom integration required for a volume solution,' he said.
There are already embedded vision development zones out there for those building embedded platforms – FPGA and SoC company Xilinx offers its ReVision online development zone for sharing reference designs, libraries, and experience about embedded vision, and Basler also has its own version called Imaging Hub.
Williamson warned that, just because there is low-cost, off-the-shelf hardware available like the Raspberry Pi, developers should be cautious of these products. 'The trouble is that in three months' time the camera will be obsolete, there being no long-term availability,' he said. 'The challenge with proper embedded vision is you need longevity of supply, guaranteed availability of the sensors, and standards such that when the camera does change it's easy to replace it – which is where the MIPI standard comes in.
'Companies like Basler, IDS and Point Grey are all driving the price of machine vision cameras to the bottom. But it's not the bottom in terms of embedded vision. The low prices are because these companies are getting involved in applications where there is embedded vision and the volumes are higher. You just have to deal with low-volume customer support in an efficient way. A new business model needs to evolve, one that already exists in other markets.'
He concluded: 'Some people in the machine vision industry are scared to some extent of the consumer embedded vision markets coming in and taking away what they already have. I would prefer to see it as an opportunity to address a wider, higher-volume market that previously was out of reach.'
Embedding 3D
Smart cameras from Cognex or Teledyne Dalsa contain embedded processing, and there are now smart 3D sensors available that make 3D vision available as a designated product, with light source and processing all included. LMI's Gocator 3D smart sensor is one such product. It was introduced in 2011 and has an all-in-one, precalibrated design.
LMI's CEO, Terry Arden, commented: 'Embedded controllers are not just suitable approaches for processing 3D data, but a necessity for handling the high speeds involved in laser profile scanning or the high data loads involved in stereo fringe projection. Scan rates can easily get up to 4kHz (laser) or 10Hz (fringe). Data rates can reach 1GB/s. Buffering and transmitting raw image data over GigE, Camera Link, or USB would introduce cost, complexity, and often result in too high a latency before a pass/fail decision can be generated.'
The embedded controllers in the Gocator 3D sensors contain both an FPGA and multicore processors that extract laser or fringe data from raw images, and then convert it to a 3D point cloud for processing in real time.
LMI's Gocator 3D sensor approach to measuring cylinder heads in internal combustion engines
Arden said that the advantages of embedded 3D sensors are that the inspection system is easier to scale simply by adding more sensors, and that it makes 3D vision easier to use by process control engineers who might not have in-depth machine vision expertise. LMI has just launched a dedicated 3D measurement system for measuring cylinder heads in internal combustion engines. The Gocator 3210 with cylinder head volume checker gives a high resolution 3D scan at an accuracy of +/- 0.04cm3.

Home Children (Petits immigrés anglais au Québec) était un programme gouvernemental britannique ayant pour but d'envoyer dans les pays du Commonwealth, notamment l'Australie et le Canada, des dizaines de milliers d'enfants britanniques des classes laborieuses, pauvres, orphelins, ou abandonnés.

Ces enfants déportés furent en réalité plutôt condamnés à des mauvais traitements.

Le pretexte invoqué à ce déracinement était que les enfants pauvres avaient plus de chances de vivre en bonne santé physique et morale, notamment dans les régions rurales du Canada, où une main-d'œuvre gratuite était appréciée. Entre 1869 et 1948, environ 100 000 enfants britanniques ont été envoyés au Canada pour travailler sur des fermes ou dans des maisons privées comme domestiques.

En Australie, environ  7 000 furent déplacés entre 1920 et 1967. Avec un très grand nombre d'enfants locaux, notamment aborigènes, eux aussi victimes de mauvais traitements, ils étaient plutôt appelés enfants oubliés ou Australiens oubliés.

Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera. The word "coleoptera" is from the Greek κολεός, koleos, meaning "sheath"; and πτερόν, pteron, meaning "wing", thus "sheathed wing", because most beetles have two pairs of wings, the front pair, the "elytra", being hardened and thickened into a shell-like protection for the rear pair and the beetle's abdomen. The order contains more species than any other order, constituting almost 25% of all known life-forms[citation needed]. About 40% of all described insect species are beetles (about 400,000 species), and new species are discovered frequently. The largest taxonomic family, the Curculionidae (the weevils or snout beetles), also belongs to this order.
The diversity of beetles is very wide-ranging. They are found in almost all types of habitats, but are not known to occur in the sea or in the polar regions. They interact with their ecosystems in several ways. They often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are prey of various animals including birds and mammals. Certain species are agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata, the boll weevil Anthonomus grandis, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, and the mungbean or cowpea beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, while other species of beetles are important controls of agricultural pests. For example, beetles in the family Coccinellidae ("ladybirds" or "ladybugs") consume aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.
Species in the order Coleoptera are generally characterized by a particularly hard exoskeleton and hard forewings (elytra, singular elytron). These elytra distinguish beetles from most other insect species, except for a few species of Hemiptera. The beetle's exoskeleton is made up of numerous plates called sclerites, separated by thin sutures. This design creates the armored defenses of the beetle while maintaining flexibility. The general anatomy of a beetle is quite uniform, although specific organs and appendages may vary greatly in appearance and function between the many families in the order. Like all insects, beetles' bodies are divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. Coleopteran internal morphology is similar to other insects, although there are several examples of novelty. Such examples include species of water beetle which use air bubbles in order to dive under the water, and can remain submerged thanks to passive diffusion as oxygen moves from the water into the bubble.
Beetles are endopterygotes, which means that they undergo complete metamorphosis, a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, undergoing a series of conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in their body structure. Coleopteran species have an extremely intricate behavior when mating, using such methods as pheromones for communication to locate potential mates. Males may fight for females using very elongated mandibles, causing a strong divergence between males and females in sexual dimorphism.

I and the Village at Theatre503
I and the Village at Theatre503 | Theatre review
Theodora Munroe
What happens to a rebellious teenager in small-town America where townsfolk attend church religiously and everything and everyone must fit neatly into indefectible boxes? Written by Silva Sermerciyan, an American playwright permanently settled in the UK, I and the Village tells the story of Aimee Stright, a misunderstood teenager who's just trying to make sense of the world she lives in.
"So maybe I just want to opt out you know? Maybe I don't want to be part of the master plan. The big assembly line in the sky," she says. But her catechisation of the community around her leads to her isolation and, ultimately, her destruction.
A blackened theatre and a loud bang start the performance. Dramatic and startling, it sets the tone for the beautiful piece that unfolds. The lights flare and the stage is illuminated in its starkness; a blank canvas for Aimee's graffiti art. A chorus arrives dressed in white, coordinating with the set, while colours radiate from Aimee, her clothes and her art alluding to her uniqueness amid the uniform of those around her.
I and the Village depicts all that is wrong with American civilisation: the desire for observed perfection, for success, for worship, and the American Dream against a backdrop of hypocricy, self-preservation and guns.
Under director Robert Shaw Cameron's vision and Emily Hubert's production, the cast play multiple roles in an array of scenes and with minimal props. Painted cubes make up a bed, a wall and a boat. Actors create the rest: the atmosphere of a boat at sea on a darkened night; rebellious teenagers sneaking around town.
Chloe Harris is perfectly cast as teenager Aimee, who embodies her vulnerability, confusion and rebellion with pin-point accurateness, complemented by Stephanie Schonfield's emotive performance as her frustrated, highly successful but slightly out-of-touch mother. The supporting cast slip in and out of multiple characters as easily as one slips on a new outfit. David Michaels stands out as Aimee's father and Randy, her mother's new partner, Aimee's mentor and eventually lecherous lover. The intimacy of these roles played by the same person brings to mind how boundaries can be blurred by a troubled teenage girl.
The real star of the show is Semerciyan, whose writing is of such quality that she is able to authentically bring a small American community to the stage above a pub on the wet streets of Clampham Junction.

At Gooromon Park, we love our team of instructors and stable assistants. Every member of #TeamGP is passionate about equestrian, is highly skilled, and absolutely loves supporting you on your riding journey.
We would like to give a big #TeamGP Welcome to our newest Instructor Ira Davies, to help you all get to know Ira we asked him a few key questions before he started. Drum roll please – we are pleased to introduce you to Ira Davies!
When did you first start Horse Riding?
I started horse riding while living in Indonesia, as a 13 year old.
What's one thing you love about working at Gooromon Park?
We shall see, but I can say I am looking forward to starting!
Who is your favourite GP Horse/Pony?
What music gets you motivated for the day?
Iggy pop can get any day started.
What do you feel is your best attribute that you will bring to the TEAM?
I am pretty patient and laid back in general, which I think is a helpful attitude to have around horses. Or at least I think I am.
What is something special about you most people don't know?
As a younger man the plan was to become an Academic. I thought I might like teaching and writing about philosophy. Working with horses quickly put an end to any aspirations I had to work indoors.
What is one of your fondest horse riding memories?
Galloping on a beach in Bali, very early on in my riding journey and much to the dismay of my parents. I was hooked after that.
What's one thing you'd like to achieve in your Riding or Coaching in the next year?
I would like to get my level 1 coaching accreditation.
What's one tip or insight you've learnt on your horsey journey that you'd like to share?
Horse riding is a long game, and while it is rewarding to have a good ride, your talent as a rider is not determined by any particular ride, good or bad. Being a good rider is an on going process, and to be good rider is to be forever becoming a better one. Does that make sense?
List three great qualities you admire in a GREAT coach?
Deep knowledge, sharp eyes and charismatic communication.

Have you ever experienced the tedium and frustration of having to repeatedly type your name, e-mail address, home page url, and other words or phrases again, again and again? Or do you frequently need to quickly insert images like your signature, location plan, or company logo into documents? Do you often introduce errors when retyping standard business text?
All seems to be working so far.
If you don't wish to install a beta version, you will need to add Typinator manually to the list of "Login Items" in System Preferences / Users & Groups.
Typinator crashes Pages and Numbers on Mountain Lion.
Yep. I just got this problem using Pages 2009 under OS X 10.7.5.
Type the abbreviated text and Pages will freeze. The dock icon shows "Quit" rather than "Force Quit", but it doesn't respond to anything but a "Force Quit" through Activity Monitor.

Engine Light Is On: 1998
The Honda Accord has been in existence since 1976, and since its introduction, it has become a perennial favorite among consumers and industry experts. About the 2000 Honda Accord The Honda Accord has been in existence since 1976, and since its introduction, it has become a perennial favorite among consumers and industry experts. Accord also won this year's Kelley Blue Book award for Best Resale Value in the mid-size car segment. The Accord Crosstour, a crossover hatchback model with more space than the Accord sedan, made its debut with the 2010 model year. Of course the area where Honda shines is in over all reliability and this Accord is no exception.
2000 Honda Accord Cars and Parts
Leather seats are optional, as is a lumbar-supported driver's seat that adjusts to ten different positions. This will help your mechanic evaluate the issue. Nothing breaks in this car. These models also feature rear-view backup cameras. .

Navigation systems are available on upper-range Accords. The car runs like clockwork. When the Accord was launched in 1976, America was still feeling the effects of the 1973 oil embargo, an event that helped to define oil as a finite, potentially costly resource. You will see then what tools you need. Other than that, my accord runs like champ. The 2011 Accord sedan features a redesigned front bumper, grille and trunk lid. Now have 200,500 mile on the car.
Brakes for 2000 Honda Accord Sedan EX 4cyl
A larger car than its predecessor, the North American Accord was given a new level of refinement with chrome interior accents and higher grade materials. A revised maintenance minder system was also added which gave owners reminders for scheduled maintenance such as based on operating conditions. From its inception as a tiny, gas-sipping car, the Accord has evolved to become the industry standard of reliable, well-designed transportation. Not visible, they are mounted to the inside of the panel. Hondas can take massive abuse and still run I have seen some keep running that had bad oil leaks and others that where managing to run on only two cylinders. The Accord is available in eight levels of engine capacity and trim.
Car and Driver magazine placed it among its ten best cars for a record-breaking 25 years. Interior accessories included a factory performance shift knob and trim. This was done to make the car more competitive against the newly released. The Accord quickly established a reputation as a reliable, low-priced car that was stingy on gas consumption. The North American Honda Accord, with modifications for local market needs, was the launch vehicle of Honda in the South Korean market with sales beginning from May 20, 2004.
2000 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
Accords are available with five-speed manual transmissions, as well as five- and six-speed automatic transmissions. Flashing Check Engine Light: If your check engine light is flashing, stop driving your Accord and have it towed to your nearest mechanic - you probably have a very serious problem with your car and you risk ruining your engine by driving it. For many years, the Accord has enjoyed the recommendation of Consumer Reports magazine. For many years, the Accord has enjoyed the recommendation of Consumer Reports magazine. I used to drive a 1994 Toyota Camry. V6 sedan delivers an impressive 271 hp. The 6-cylinder models had the same as the sixth generation's, but revisions to the intake and exhaust systems contributed to a 40 hp increase, bringing the total power to 240 hp.
Power gains were achieved with extensive improvements to the airflow of the intake and exhaust systems. Jan 05, 2011 On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. It is my favorite of all of the Accord body styles. For example, does it happen when you accelerating, driving on the highway or does it appear at low speeds? The interior is comfortable and spacious. Road, engine noise seem hard to avoid from any Honda car. The 1-plastic plug is visible at the upper front of the panel and is the same color as the surrounding trim C: Take off the big plastic triangle piece above the door panel and behind the mirror.
Together with the electric motor, the hybrid version provided slightly higher performance than the conventional Accord. Both models seat five people. This is my second Honda in a row, and I got rid of the last one only because it had a few dinks and dents after 10 years. Accord Hybrids from model year 2006 and up can be identified by the amber rear turn signals whereas their fully gasoline counterparts have red rear turn signals. The 2011 Accord achieved five-star ratings in safety from the New Car Assessment Program of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The hybrid version of the V6 produced 255 hp, an increase of 15 hp, making the hybrid quicker than the regular Accord V6 sedan, but still not as quick as the Accord Coupe V6 with 6 speed manual. It has 2 snaps holding it on.


Racing Radio's 4/C IMSA style straight cord helmet kit gives the driver slightly less movement and reduced weight with their helmet in the car than the coiled version. Comes with 3.5mm earpiece connection, and their top-of-the-line noise canceling flexible microphone. Installation services available.


Discussion in 'Fiji' started by DWilliams, Aug 3, 2017.
Looking for nice accommodation, but not high-end in Kadavu Island. We prefer all-inclusive, but not meals. Any nice accommodation suggestions would be great. We have about 3 weeks to go.
Kadavu Island is the most popular island of Fiji and has plenty places to stay & see. Birdwatching, snorkelling, sea-kayaking tours and a lot more to do. Kadavu has guest houses, high-end resorts, budget rooms, but many of the places accessible only by boat. Kadavu is not miss place woever travel to Matana Beach Resort, Mai Dive Astrolabe Reef Resort, Tiliva Resort and Waisalima Beach Resort are some of the nice resorts to stay. You may find a place in the south, closer to the Great Astrolabe Reef which offers natural, but enjoyable stay. All-inclusive packages are available with airport transfers, full board accommodation and scuba diving activities. Pre-book your accommodation online and enjoy your trip.
I highly recommend Matana beach resort. The location is perfect and even though you don't want to include meals, you must try at least one day, because it is the most delicious food I personally have ever tasted. A lot of fresh seafood and fresh salads. I went to Matana Beach Resort last month and it is especially for activity-seekers perfect, because of the beach. I went diving and snorkeling. They also offer a special route for hiking. You can book online immediately and it will not take long. Also, the people there are truly friendly.

Art Macao: empowering art with international art exhibitions
06 2019 | Issue 33
Text/Salie Lei
Art Macao is a five-month mega international art and cultural event that will be held from June to October this year, featuring a number of art exhibitions at various exhibition venues in Macao. The core event "Art Macao: International Art Exhibition" has invited international resorts and hotels in Macao to participate in the art fiesta. They will help bring incredible art pieces from both home and overseas to the city. Exhibiting art items are diverse, covering paintings, ceramics, sculptures, interactive installations and multimedia art. Art Macao will be showcasing the charm of contemporary visual arts with a diverse formula.
So how will the international resorts and hotels in Macao combine the coming art events with their unique venues to maximise the charm of artists' creative pieces? What kind of role will the management of these resorts and hotels play in promoting art? In this issue, we have invited representatives from Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd., MGM, Sands China Ltd. and Wynn Macau Ltd. to share with us their take on these interesting questions.
Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd.: Unexpected Encounters
The theme of the exhibition at Melco is "Unexpected Encounters", which aims to make full use of the hotel's space and build an amazing visual art experience for the audience. Among all the exhibits, KAWS' Good Intentions and Julio Le Parc's Continuel Lumière au Plafond, for example, are exceptionally eye-catching.
KAWS' toys are incredibly popular around the world. Not long ago, his massive toys stirred up quite a popular trend in Taiwan and Hong Kong. His most well-known and toylike, larger-than-life COMPANION figures which fuse features of Mickey Mouse, a clown and a skull, reexamine our concept of nostalgia. "KAWS' Good Intentions is the most anticipated work at the exhibition," Frederic Winckler, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Brand Officer at Melco, introduced. "The installation will be set up in an extensive area inside the hotel. With the smaller COMPANION hugging the leg of the larger one, the work also evokes a feeling of empathy, making viewers reflect on human relationships, especially that between parent and child."
In comparison, Julio Le Parc's Continuel Lumière au Plafond is a smaller art piece that consists of several mirrors hung on the ceiling. This immersive installation by Julio Le Parc showcases the artist's control over lights and shadows and his art concept of bringing the audience an immersive art experience. Strips of mirror reflect light to create an intriguing movement of lights and shadows, leading to limitless speculation that is bounded only by one's imagination.
Space is the most important matter for exhibitions. Displaying artists' works in proper places is a matter of showing respect to the artists and their arts. "We collect art pieces around the world through different channels. But if we don't have proper places to show them, it would be a waste of resources. Therefore, we have carefully selected art pieces based on the characteristics of different places. What's more, the quality of the art piece is taken into consideration as well," Winckler pointed out. "The exhibition this time showcases how contemporary art has transformed its traditional mode of expression. The exhibiting art pieces are from masters all around the world. They are the artists who explore the depth of art and aesthetics with various forms of attempts and expression. We are hoping that the audience would be able to appreciate and enjoy their art. If the exhibition could spark deeper thinking, then it would be amazing."
"Modern art is not limited to any particular art form. Sometimes when we are appreciating art pieces we won't even be able to identify what kinds of art they are. But this is exactly what makes art fascinating," Winckler concluded. "In an era where the volume of information we are getting is overwhelming, creativity coming from daily life has become equally important as art education. Creativity in daily life can intrigue the public more easily, which is very beneficial to art promotion. Whether it is Morpheus Hotel or Voyages by Alain Ducasse, Melco's resorts are all designed with unique and interesting elements. Walking in these beautiful architectures and having unexpected encounters with amazing art pieces will definitely be a wonderful experience."

Q: what function has zeros at the singularities of the hyperbolic tangent function? I'm completely drawing a blank for some reason.
The function tanh(x) has poles when -I*z/Pi-1/2 is equal to an integer. That is, in the sequence
$i/2\pi\, \left( 2\,n+1 \right)$
There must be some standard trig function that has as roots (like the way sin(2*Pin) has roots at each n) at the points (I(1/2))Pi(2*n+1) so that
tanh(x)*f(x) would be an entire function rather than merely meromorphic

With our magazine, we aim to inform, indulge and inspire you with our stories of local people, places, activities and events celebrating Noosa. The inspire part of the equation is what I have been thinking about recently. As far as I know, being inspired and the impetus to action or thinking which it generates, is a uniquely human characteristic.
I can honestly say that Noosa's natural environment and vibrant community do inspire me – to be energetic, physical and a part of the action. In short, I have bought into the myth/story/legend of the Noosa lifestyle ideal with its kaleidoscope of opportunity to live fully.
Yuval Noah Harari outlines in his bestselling book, Sapiens A Brief History of Humankind, humankind's ability to create and gather support for myths and legends – concepts, beliefs and interpretations – has been fundamental to our species' development and ascension to the current apex position of all life on this planet.
Homo sapiens have emerged as the sole survivor of at least six species of human to have wandered the Earth with the ability to buy into certain myths or stories (and sometimes on a large scale). This has been a key factor in allowing us to form cohesive structures and movements of all kinds and drive the development of civilisation.
Even our global economic system is at its core an example of myth-belief on a gigantic scale. Apparently coins and banknotes account for only 10 per cent of the money in the world. Yep, according to Harari more than 90 per cent of all money "exists only on computer servers." We have all bought into the belief that this money "exists" even if it is just a morsel of code out taking up digital space.
The myths and legends that sprang from our "cognitive revolution" between 70,000 and 30,000 years ago have also shaped our destiny, according to Harari. This brings us back to inspiration – a myth which seeds fertile ground in us humans.
What or who inspires you? Where and how do you find this inspiration? And what is its purpose in your life?
Your personal, family, community, organisational inspiration is worth interrogating from time-to-time. Is inspiration required to achieve "success" (whatever that may be for you)? Is your inspiration revealed by proactive searching or do you prefer to adopt a mindset of openness in order to receive random sources of inspiration? Is a combination of both the best for you?
The word inspire has a Latin origin – "to breathe or blow into." Definitions mention excitement, drawing courage from, creativity, identifying direction.
There seems to be a level of arousal – physical, emotional and mental associated with inspiration. This arousal often starts in the body as a form of physical sensation – goose bumps, tingles up-and-down the spine, accelerated heart rate, tears — it can manifest slowly over time or hit in a flash. However, it comes to you there is no doubting its power to shift, not only individuals but entire tribes, nations, organisations even the world's entire population.
I like to collect inspiring quotes. I write them down and then come back to them at various times. Some quotes still resonate years later, others fall by the wayside because they were really only relevant to something which I was going through at the time.
Here's one I came across in researching this column: "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool" by Shakespeare. This quote brings me back to humility and is a good reminder when I might be getting carried away with myself.
Nelson Mandela found inspiration through his lonely years in prison by reading the poem Invictus, "I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul." It helped keep him going and inspired resilience and fortitude.
Literature and art, politics and history, even sport all provide tales of heroism to inspire.
Which brings us to another aspect of inspiration — not all heroes or heroic stories are without flaws. Greeks and Romans through gods, demigods, warrior heroes, leaders and intellectuals understood the imperfect nature of heroism. Their heroes were often prone to wanton extremes of personality. These flaws made them all the more believable and loveable. Their type of inspiration was all the more attainable.
Clearly inspiration does not always deliver. But when it does it is thrilling.
Inspiration can be applied in every endeavour of your activity, today and into the future. It is often associated with motivation to achieve a goal and can help in finding direction for our prodigious human energy.
The bottom line is, whatever it is, whoever it is, wherever it is, whenever it was, find your inspiration and run with it. Use it to heighten your sense of aliveness through mindfulness and purpose.


Mommy Practicality turned four last July 1. And as announced on my IG and Facebook Page, I will be celebrating this milestone with you by holding a simple giveaway. It's been four great years of sharing a piece of myself and opening a window to our family life in ways I could inspire my readers to always be positive and look at the brighter side of things, in whatever circumstance they may be in. At least that's what I hope I am imparting and the emotional aspect that I'm leaving the readers in my posts.
I know for certain that blogging is something that I could be doing for a long time because I have been writing on my diary since I was in elementary. It's a passion that cannot be taken away from me and can you just imagine how young I started journal-ing? I continued this in high school, which was more colorfully or artistically done on Trapper-Keeper then Filo-Fax (yung nakaka-relate, alam niyo na ang age/batch ko!) In college, I wrote poems for our school literary issues and had interests in the field of arts. Writing has always and will always be a part of me. So as long as there is still at least one single reader, visiting and consuming my blog content (actually kahit wala eh!) I'll keep on doing what I love doing.
2012 Blog banner designed by my colleague, Myzyl Choi.
2013, same design, cleaner color using mainly White, Pink and Grey.
2016 blog design still by Patricia of Fancy Girl Designs. This time it's more intentional, colors of my liking, clean, simple, elegant, but still practical-looking. The blog's description also changed and speaks more of what the blog is all about and what it intends to achieve or do.
If you would ask me about my blog's direction, I think I've said it earlier this year, that I do plan to take it to another level someday by branching out from online to offline. How? By offering workshops on anything that concerns being a mom, a working mom, a business wo-mom or a stay-at-home mom. I also plan to have workshops to related to finances or budgeting. Those are top plans, nothing really concrete. But I do hope to be able to materialize these things before the year ends. I also hope to have a regular meet-up or coffee dates with my readers, parang level-up giveaway.
The rafflecopter below is will just serve as checking of qualified entries but the real purpose is, for me to get your feedback on how Mommy Practicality has helped, informed, inspired, or influenced you. I would also like to know which areas I should improve on or which content would you like to see more of in the blog. And lastly, but not really mandatory, is for you to leave me an encouraging, uplifting, inspiring or positive note.
1) How has this blog helped, informed, inspired or influenced you? Is there a particular blog post or blog category which touched or moved you the most?
2) What type of posts or category would you like to see on Mommy Practicality in the future to help me improve the blog's content?
Open to all readers residing in the Philippines.
Answer all three questions listed above on the comment section below.
No need to leave your email address or full name, your valid email addresses are shown in Disqus as a measure of content security.
This giveaway will run until end of July.
Winners will be selected within a week after the giveaway ends and shall be announced on or before August 5, 2016.
Prizes will be couriered to the winners.

Without Pay For The Last 6 Months, Bengaluru Civic Worker Kills Self; Thousands Still Await Salary
The Logical Indian Crew Karnataka
July 10th, 2018 / 3:53 PM
Image Credits: The News Minute, Times Of India
40-year-old Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) worker, Subramani, took his own life on July 8. He had been working with BBMP for 15 years, however, for the last six months, he was not paid his salary. He is survived by his wife and his two kids aged ten and seven.
Subramani was living with his wife and children in Muneshwara block. He allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison. He was brought to the hospital by his wife Savita where he was declared brought dead by the doctors.
Subramani used to work in ward number 77, the Dattatreya Temple ward as a cleaner. Reportedly, in the suicide note which he left, he wrote that he didn't have money to pay for food and other essentials for the family. He was even forced to pull out his children from school as he was unable to pay the fees. Subramani had even approached BBMP, asking them to credit his salary.
The family of the deceased has blamed the BBMP Health Inspector and Assistant Executive Engineer, Solid Waste Management over non-payment of dues.
FIR has been registered at the Vyalikaval Police Station. Sudhakar KH, a police officer, told The News Minute, "He had not been paid his salary for the last six months, and he was in deep financial trouble. His wife has filed a complaint saying this was the reason he committed suicide. We are investigating the incident from all possible angles."
Right now the case has been registered under IPC 174, suspicious or unnatural death. However, President of the BBMP Guttige Pourakarmika Sangha has said, "This is government-sponsored murder. The BBMP officials demand Rs 500-1,000 per sweeper when they go to ask for their pay. If they refuse, salaries are withheld. Subramani begged the BBMP to pay him his salary. He had told them that he has two daughters whom he has to support and with the pressure from the private moneylenders to repay the loan, he had no choice but to commit suicide. They didn't listen to his pleas. They humiliated him and dared him to kill himself."
"Subramani was the go-to man for his immediate family as well as his relatives. He always stayed away from trouble and was always conscious of his financial status. He was forced to borrow Rs 1.5 lakh to run his family in the past few months as he hadn't received his salary. The burden was too much for him and the interest payment was burdening him," Guruvaiah, a friend of Subramani said to Deccan Herald.
It is being demanded that the case be registered under section 306 (abetment to suicide) and all the concerned officials are held culpable.
Pourakarmikas not paid for six months
There are many BBMP workers or Pourakarmikas, as they are commonly referred to, who have not been paid their salary for upto six months now. Earlier, these contractual workers, who were employed by agencies on behalf of BBMP, were being paid their salaries by the agency itself. However, the contract agencies were accused of not paying the full salary or showing more number of Pourakarmikas than the actual number to claim more money from BBMP. In January this year, a new system was bought in place, wherein the Pourakarmikas were to be directly paid by the BBMP. But even with the new system in place, Pourakarmikas have not been getting their salaries.
Lakshmi Devi. Uma, Shobha, Kondamma clean the streets in Indira Nagar, Bengaluru. They have not been paid salaries for six months. They've pawned off their jewellery, sold their utensils just so that they can continue paying rent. #PayPourakarmikas pic.twitter.com/5fn4bUyjB2
— Prajwal (@prajwalmanipal) July 9, 2018
Over the last six months, several protests have been organised, but unfortunately to no avail. All the demands seems to have fallen on deaf ears, as even today, thousands of these workers continue to work without a salary. They are now being forced to take loans and to sell off jewellery and other valuables to make their ends meet.
These pourakarmikas' completely live off the meagre salary they receive. For them, it is a hand-to-mouth existence. In such a situation, non-payment or delay in payment of salary adversely affects them and here we are talking about a delay of five-six months. With Subramani committing suicide, it is quite evident that the situation is extremely grave. We request the concerned authorities to look into the matter on priority basis and make sure that the pourakarmikas are paid their full salary.

But you can get up to Medium Frame Rate and Balanced Graphics, and the game looks pretty darn good on iOS devices. PUBG Mobile Smooth vs Balanced Here is a side by side of the difference between the lowest two graphics settings in PUBG Mobile (click or tap to enlarge):... At this by point it's really not news to say that PUBG is a rather poorly optimised game, regardless of whether you're playing on Xbox One or on the game's original PC home. Although we've seen incremental improvements to the game over time, it feels like there's a long way to go before we get to enjoy the kind of velvety-smooth gameplay we really want.
Tencent has just released an official PC emulator for PUBG Mobile on the Tencent Gaming Buddy platform. Controls and graphics are adapted to mouse and keyboard use, but still don't compare to how to fix tired adrenal glands That said, the PC version had its fair share of issues at launch, too, though it steadily got better with updates. Another place to find the Xbox version is under Microsoft's "Game Preview" program.

A powerful dedicated graphics card like Nvidia or Radeon is better. If your computer meets all of the above, then you'll be good to go. If not, then you may experience problems with stability during gameplay.
13/12/2017 · PUBG performed poorly when it first appeared on the PC, but the team behind it has worked diligently to improve the game. It still has issues, but it's much better than it was at the beginning.
Windows is conservative about updating graphics drivers, as only PC gamers really need the latest graphics drivers whenever they're released. Download Intel's Driver Update Utility and run it to find if there are any new graphics drivers available directly from Intel.


My XG has done 0-100 in 7.5 seconds and hit 180 (think it may have almost been on the limiter) only thing I did was tune up (new leads, plugs, etc) and lighten the load a little. Otherwise completely stock as a rock.
my old xd had 2.77-1 diff with t5 did 200k in 4th then wound to 4000rpm in 5th not sure of speed but got very light and floaty.
The thing that turned me to Fords many years ago was hangin on for dear life at 140 or so in my 4.2 VC SLE Commodore when an XD or XE BLASTED past like i was sitting STILL!!! Had 4 guys in it and antenna in the middle of the roof.
96 EF Auto GLi - Bilstein Shocks - Adjustable Front sway bar - JMM Cam - TI Perf J3 - TCI 2500/3000 stall converter. 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk.
Yeah, fords are definitely better at high speeds. My XG goes like the clappers for an old Ute. VK commodore tried overtaking the other day. Old XG was cruising at 120kmh, 2300 rpm, and the VK is revving out trying to get past. Put the foot down obviously (wasn't going to let that heap of Sh*t past) and zoomed away. Haha... i just noticed my age was set as 15??? i think I've entered something wrong there. Will have to change haha.
Beaut XG - I guess that's an amusing story - but I'll tell you flatly now that speeding up when people are trying to overtake - no matter how hopeless they are - is not really on unless you have a REAL good reason to do it.
If you MUST - and you're still risking getting a head kicking - let them past then overtake them back (safely of course).
Sorry, but there are SOME things I've learned (the hard way) in 27 years of driving.
No worries Greenmachine. I guess it was a bit stupid. But in my defense (and i'm not trying to be a smarty pants here) we were getting very close to to the end of the overtaking lane, and he simply didn't have the power to get past. So it was either hit the brakes and let the car behind ram me, or speed up. However regardless of the circumstances i do understand that it isn't a safe thing to do.
Oh! - yep - that makes more sense (thumbsup) - speeding up when people are PASSING in same direction lanes isn't generally so much of a drama - it's when they're overtaking by going out into oncoming traffic lane that's tricky.

Nissan PH drops Juke from lineup, Kicks soon?
Jose AltoverosView Info
We say goodbye to the Nissan Juke in the Philippines
Nissan June 2, 2021 - 3:38 PM
Nissan Philippines has been busy this 2021.
Apart from launching the all-electric Note EV, the automaker also introduced the refreshed Navara pick-up truck. Still, we're expecting more to come later, as Nissan has yet to debut the updated Terra in the region, as well as the new Almera.
But one model we're anticipating for the Philippine market is the Kicks, a subcompact crossover that would effectively replace the Juke. Now we have a good indicator: Nissan made some changes to the lineup on their homepage.
If you check the Nissan Philippines website, you'll notice that the Juke has been dropped from the lineup. It's not really a surprise as the Juke is one of the oldest models in the lineup alongside the Sylphy and the Almera, having first debuted in 2010 (global) and was on sale until it was "discontinued" in most countries in 2019. Sales continued in the Philippines up until now.
The change is a good indicator that they're preparing for a new model, and it is highly unlikely that the model will be the second-generation Juke.
There is no other candidate apart from the Kicks. Its arrival has been unofficially confirmed by the ASEAN NCAP. For those that don't remember, the crash test agency listed the Kicks for the Philippine market, including several of the features it will have.
Still, Nissan Philippine's has been quiet about the Kick's arrival. We have yet to see any teaser or receive an announcement about an upcoming launch. But with the Juke removed from the lineup, it's a sign of things to come.
What can we expect from the Kicks? Well, it could be the first e-Power hybrid vehicle offered in the country. That powertrain produces 129 PS and 260 Nm torque. Meanwhile, other countries in the ASEAN region get a 1.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine good for 156 PS and 254 Nm torque, or a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter four-cylinder producing 106 PS and 142 Nm torque. But one thing's for certain, the Kicks is one safe crossover.
The only problem that Nissan faces with the arrival of the new B-segment crossover is that they will enter a much more competitive segment with a new generation of models that includes (but not limited to) the Suzuki Vitara, Kia Seltos, Volkswagen T-Cross, and the Geely Coolray.
As to how the Kicks will compete, we will really have to see what the specs are, how it feels to drive, and crucially, the price.

Illinois House approves Medicaid expansion
(AP) — The Illinois House has approved a Medicaid expansion to cover low-income adults who don't have children at home.
Expanding the health care program for the poor and disabled is a key part of President Barack Obama's health care law.
House lawmakers approved the measure 63-55 Monday. It heads back to the Senate because of an adopted amendment. Gov. Pat Quinn is in favor. Up to half a million uninsured Illinoisans would be newly eligible for coverage, with the federal government paying costs for three years.
Under the complex measure, 342,000 people are expected to enroll by 2017.
Democratic Rep. Sara Feigenholtz is a bill sponsor and says it's a historic move. Republicans opposed to the bill worried about future costs and long-term stability.
The bill is SB26.

Sitting at Albina Press, trying to get my thoughts together. After a stretch of sunny days flirting with the 90s, a moody cloud system hangs grumbling overhead. I've been in Portland just over a month and settled into Smidgeon just three weeks ago. While I'm acclimating well to new work routines, sudden relocation trails persistent disorientation. Case in point: I've locked my keys in my car (doh!) twice (argh!). Meanwhile, personal infrastructure details continue to vie for attention--auto registration, bills, where to get a haircut, where to live in August... I stepped back from tiny work parties to attend to self-care. Happily, while I reside in Smidgeon, there is opportunity for continuing tiny education of critical import. To state it bluntly, it's time to revisit the loo.
DISCLAIMER: Those of a delicate sensibility, may wish to skip this section. If, however, you are considering tiny-izing your life, or are already in the build process and, as yet, undecided on 'facilities,' bear with me.
If you have followed my adventures in The Mighty, you may remember that I had decided on outside facilities, the original plan being a finished bath house of equal aesthetic. I had stalled short of full realization of the vision leaving off in the tar paper bath house manifestation. Having decided to sell and move to Portland, I am now living the research of the indoor bucket composter.
Smidgeon had been originally outfitted with a standard flush toilet. During a challenging winter of utterly insurmountable system-freeze, Stacey found herself utterly stopped up (forgive me) and hurled unceremoniously into bucket system initiation. When she and I first met to discuss the possibility of my sublease, we got right down to business discussing the particulars. She was still contemplating the ideal additive for small space compatibility. Coconut coir seems to be the way to go.
I moved into Smidgeon on a Monday after work. As yet unfamiliar with the suppliers of my most basic needs in the area, I acquired a bale of hamster bedding (white wood shavings) from the local pet supply to get by for a couple of nights. Akin to living with a giant litter box. I don't recommend it. Last year, I stayed in Gina's tiny house, where coconut coir was used in an Air Head sailboat composter. I also had the opportunity to visit and document Bayside Bungalow's composting system, employing the same. Until now, I hadn't fully investigated the origin and preparation of the wonder product, itself--minute details I don't think about until I must. Thanks to Lina Menard who donated a brick of coir--my heroine!--I've come to more fully appreciate its virtues. Allow me to elaborate.
Well-known to avid gardeners, coconut coir comes in (roughly) 4x12x18 inch bricks. In order to rise to the level of performance necessary for the humble purpose at hand, it must be properly hydrated in advance. I added about 22 quarts of water. Waited about an hour. Broken up and hand-fluffed, the brick expanded to at least 6 times it's original size. For direct system application, add a scoop of hydrated coir big enough to cover each deposit completely. In combination with good urine-diversion practice (translation: pee elsewhere. Google urine diversion toilets for more info), odor is mitigated. Home air quality is greatly improved.
And so the journey continues. I'm shopping for my ideal neighborhood and a long term lease, all the while eager to get back to assisting with tiny builds (Lina's, Laura's, others...), dive into the tango scene and yoga classes, explore Portland summer (farmers market, free park movies and concerts, new friends like Jeff who is building on a 30' trailer and incorporating a gourmet kitchen (gotta check that one out). Portland is weird and wonderful. Such is life in this strange new land.
Monday, 10:15 a.m. in the tiny house. The sun just peeped through the slate-rimmed gray. Rain returned mid-last-week with short dousings, sprinkles, wind and one rolling thunder afternoon: hints of autumn nipping at my plans. It's post-Wee Open House. I tip another dose of caffeine back and go over the flash of last week. WOH! What just happened?
It was a whirlwind of last-minute prep--decking, video production and release, toe kick finger holes, cleaning, stowing, errands, staging and signage—my dear friend, Dori Hallberg, on the eve of her birthday (my heroine!), arrived for backup, and Saturday's Wee Open House welcomed 40+ visitors to my door. Wandering in twos and threes through the gate and across the field, they beheld, exclaimed, pondered, probed, swapped ideas, reclined in the window seat or lingered thoughtfully in the loft.
One of the tiniest visitors, burst over the threshold, arms wide, exclaiming, "I looooove it!" before flying up the ladder and beaming exuberance from her lofty perch. There were couples, some with young children. Bryn and Loren are already building their own tiny dream house. New Whidbey residents, Maribel, Michael and wee Freya, were contemplating new possibilities. A number of mother/daughter pairs (and one mother/son) passed through, the mothers repeating with relish, I could definitely see her/him in one of these (the referenced being the wonder-stricken 20-something, a newly single in her 30s or the 20-something New York prodigal). Blacksmith/artist, Chuck Ping, hailing from my home-state of Iowa, and his sister, Patricia (fellow Whidbey-ite), came to talk over Patricia's desire for a tiny personal space and Chuck's plans for a slew of 'tinies' back in corn country. (Chuck & Linda, you're on my visit list when next I'm Iowa-bound!) There were even a few folks mulling over a purchase and retrofit for, specifically, bath/toilet facilities… Naturally, folks considering the house for purchase, are mulling over the aforementioned possibilities. You'll be happy to know that there are some, but first, a brief segue.
While I am proud of and have loved living in my little house, I always demurred apologetically when it came to explaining the bath/toilet. It was begun with an evolutionary plan for charm on par with the tiny residence. With the sudden decision to inhabit last fall, top priority became basic function. That took some doing (see Taking the Leaks, posted 11/11/2012) and, as plans have evolved (see Oh Shift! Here We Go Again…, posted 08/05/2013) resources were otherwise directed. Fortunately, when I had a chance for a pre-WOH! check-in with Dee, she shared how she'd been similarly apologetic about her facilities for years and encouraged me to, as she has, simply get over it.
I overheard them exclaim, with a little surprise, perhaps due to the tar paper exterior, that it was cute! There you have it. So, here's the deal: if the provision of immediately functional, upgradeable bath/toilet facilities would close the sale, I'm willing to throw in the bathhouse for free and would be happy to advise on set-up that will avert the struggles I had with frozen water lines. I also refer you to my coverage of Brittany Yunker's compost toilet system for an aesthetic and effective toilet option (see Shapeshifting, posted 08/25/2013). My learning curve, to your advantage. Just sayin'... it's an option.
In closing this segment, for the folks who are considering purchase of my tiny house and lack only the perfect setting, I have a friend with two gorgeous, private, 10-acre, wooded, South Whidbey parcels available. Inquire for details. Enough said.
Last night, I watched the sunset juice out of another gorgeous day, smiled at the wonder of five or six people chatting comfortably in my wee house the day before—mother and child in the loft, two in the window seat, another seated at the dining table, one propped against the kitchen cabinet and me leaning in the doorway (that's almost seven!). Intimate spaces have an energy that draws folks in, calms, recalibrates for conversation with each other or the birds, clouds or breeze passing by the windows. Welcome! Do come in. Have a seat. Won't you stay awhile? My gratitude to all who did. It was a pleasure.


ZIS-110 was a limousine from ZIL introduced in 1946. The 110 was developed from the reverse engineering of a 1942 Packard Super Eight during 1944. The first 5 prototypes were completed by August 1945. It was powered by a 6-litre, 8-cylinder engine producing 140 hp (104 kW) and giving a top speed of over 140 km/h (87 mph). It was made in both sedan and convertible versions.
The ZIS was rumored to use machinery from the Packard 180 assembly line which was sent to the USSR after American production ended. However, according to The Fall of the Packard Motor Car Company, there is no evidence whatsoever in the Packard archives of such a transfer. Moreover as one of the main results of the collection of information and material of Bert Hein there can be lots of current opinions within the car literature disproved. The database includes in addition to some pictures of commissars with Packards a registry of existing cars and information about all ZIS versions but particularly a point to point comparison between the products of Packard and ZIS. Therefore more likely that the top commissars, including Joseph Stalin, owned several Packards and wanted their first effort at a luxury car to be based on what is arguably one of the top cars of the 1940s. These cars were often given as gifts to foreign communist leaders such as Mao Zedong and Josip Broz Tito. After Stalin ZIL 110 c cabriolet was used as a parade car for Nikita Khrushchev, and this model was given as a gift to Enver Hoxha, the lifelong president of Albania.
Production ended in 1958, with total of 2038 cars made.

Holly on Hollywood
by Holly McClure
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is the funny, entertaining sequel to The Lego Movie in a story about Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt) and Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) who are battling mysterious invaders trying to destroy Bricksburg and kidnap Emmet's best friends, including Lucy. The movie is set in the imagination of a young boy named Finn (Jadon Sand), who used LEGOs to process his complex feelings about his overbearing father in the original film, and now, in the sequel, uses LEGOs to cope with his little sister Bianca (Brooklynn Prince) who wants to play with his toys and always breaks them. It's up to Emmet and his ultra-cool new partner Rex Dangervest (Chris Pratt, again) to rescue them all, before they start to like living in an adorable world of glitter, pop music and hunky vampires, ruled by Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (Tiffany Haddish).
The PG family-friendly adventure has a great cast of wacky characters, a velociraptors crew for Rex's spaceship who love tennis, wonderful new musical numbers and an ode to the movie's closing credits. lots of action, including chases, fights, rescues, explosions, dinosaurs, spaceship battles, and more. Since everything (and everyone) is made out of Legos, the stakes never feel too intense but younger or more sensitive kids might be upset when sympathetic characters are in peril or argue with each other. Otherwise, content is quite mild, with a couple of uses of words like "heck" and "butt" and some flirting between characters (Batman also shows and sings about his pecs). Pratt is hilarious and makes this witty movie fun to watch. There are positive messages about perseverance, teamwork, friendship, cooperation, and loving people for who they are, not who you think they should be. Be warned: If you've finally gotten "Everything Is Awesome" out of your head, the "Catchy Song" is the next one to take its place.

While much research in urban studies has engaged with informality and informalization processes in cities of the so-called Global South, informality as a lens to study cities of the Global North has yet not been explored extensively. Contributing to a growing body of literature on informality in the North, Christian Haid shows how informality is permeating through many different aspects of urban everyday life of a "western" city and adopts conceptualizations emanating from the Global South through the postcolonial perspective of "worlding" in order to develop a more global understanding of informality.
The research on City Life in Limbo explores the state of uncertainty inherent to informal practice focusing on how and in what ways everyday informal practices are rendered both stable and unstable. The practices under scrutiny are informal work practices such as street vending and bottle collecting, but also practices of their enforcement by street level bureaucrats which have been investigated in three parks in Berlin: the Thai market at Preußenpark, Görlitzer Park, and Mauerpark.
The argument of globalizing informality through informality as practice is developed out of an ethnographic approach and contributes not only to advancing the debate on urban informality but also to an emerging broader project in urban studies to post- colonize and subsequently globalize urban theory.
Christian Haid is senior researcher at the Habitat Unit.

A story of passion, research and quality that began in 1936
Bonaldo, a successful company in Italy and worldwide that produces elegant furniture and designer accessories, originated from a great passion for design. Tables, chairs, accessories, sofas and beds are produced exclusively in Italy and exported all over the world, employing the most modern technologies and fine materials, carefully selected and with certificates of authenticity. The broad range of products is characterised by an eclectic, dynamic and unique style.
This company from the Veneto region with headquarters in Padua was established in 1936 and, at the beginning, it was specialized in the artisan metalworking. Later, it extended its production to bedsteads and then to iron beds, inventing a foldable bedstead that would become a market standard.
In 1971 Bonaldo attended the Salone Internazionale del Mobile of Milan for the first time and it was in that period that it turned into a manufacturing industry. In the following decade the sofa beds and convertible sofas were successfully included in the production, followed by the first collection of beds. The range of furnishings expanded to comprise armchairs, chairs, tables and all kinds of accessories. The volume of exports became larger year after year and proves that Bonaldo is a successful brand loved not only by the Italian public but also by an international one.
In 2000 Bonaldo began to take its first steps into the world of design, inaugurating a series of favourable collaborations with high profile designers that would become one of its distinguishing features. In this way, products became more and more sophisticated. The creative contribution of talented designers like Karim Rashid, Ron Arad, Bartoli Design, Massimo Iosa Ghini and Mauro Lipparini allows Bonaldo to collect important recognitions like the Red Dot Design Award, the iF Design Award, and the Good Design Award. Among the award-winning pieces there are the Still and Octa tables by Bartoli Design, the Pebble table by Matthias Demacker, the H2O table by Massimo Iosa Ghini, the Poly chair and the Flap table by Karim Rashid.
To date, the most representative product of Bonaldo, that became a style icon worldwide, is definitely the Big Table, designed in 2009 by Alain Gilles. Today over 700 variants of this table are produced (in different sizes, colours and materials) and this fact shows the actual importance of a success that does not vanish.
In 80 years, Bonaldo has managed to create its own unique style that is based on certain highly distinctive elements such as colour, harmony of forms and lines, functionality and comfort.
With a line that ranges from the most modern to the most refined and elegant products, Bonaldo has the right answer for every furnishing need, thanks to the variety and quality of its offer, characterised by personality, dynamism and attention to detail.
One of the things the company takes pride of is its production which is entirely located in the Veneto region and involves only local suppliers and artisans: this shows a strong tie with the territory and its roots.
