Bayeux Tapestry Panel 62 →

The Bayeux Tapestry: Scene 71
The Bayeux Tapestry is thought to have been made in England for William's half-brother, Odo. Odo happened to be the bishop of the Bayeux -hence the name of the tapestry- and Earl of Kent. Speculators believe that the tapestry was made in Canterbury in a workshop that was associated with St. Augustine's Abbey (Laynesmith).
The Bayeux Tapestry portrays William the Conqueror and how he took hold of England back in the 1060's. In my specific piece, it is supposed to portray the death of King Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings. However, there is a lot of debatable matters when it
The Bayeux Tapestry. approx: 1070-1080. The Bayeux, Normandy. "The Bayeux Tapestry scene57 Harold death.jpeg" Wikimedia Commons. Accessed 11/15/2018. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bayeux_Tapestry_scene57_Harold_death.jpg
comes to this scene in the Bayeux Tapestry. Before diving in though, let me explain the difference in the soldiers. Historically, King Harold's army was almost entirely infantry with the exception of a few archers. The Normans, on the other hand, were about half infantry, a quarter cavalry, and another quarter of archers (Battle of Hastings). Because of this, we can figure out that any of the horses in the tapestry (There is only one, in my case) are part of the Norman cavalry.
Looking at the tapestry, it is hard to determine which figure is King Harold. we can rule out that the person on the horse is not King Harold, because only he Normans had cavalry. So it is really left to two figures in the image; the one directly behind the horse, and the one being trampled by the horse. Because we don't know in this context, we can look at how King Harold died. According to World Monarchies and Dynasties, Harold had been shot in the eye with an arrow, then mistakenly wandered into enemy lines half blind where he was killed (Middleton 376). Unfortunately, that does not solve any issues, because both figures could describe certain parts of King Harold's death. In the 1st figure, it looks to be that there is an arrow in the eye of the figure. that perfectly matches up with the story given. However, because this photo is a photo of the replicated tapestry, we should see what other forms of the tapestry have. Bayeux-tapestry.org.uk goes into this, and points out that different replications of the tapestry show different things. For example, the Le Thieuller 1824 copy shows that the figure is holding a dotted line. In the Montaucon 1730 engraving, it just shows that the figure is holding something. It is not indicative of an arrow or a spear, but we don't know what else it could be. Another thing to point out is that the first written mention of Harold dying by being shot in the eye with an arrow appears 14 years later; written by Baudri in a poem. Some speculators say that there is really no way to know how Harold died, because of the lack of detail in the primary sources. It really comes down to the interpretation of two sources; Carmen, then the Bayeux Tapestry itself (Bradbury 206)
The second figure also seems to match up with the story given by John Middleton. After being shot in the eye, he wandered into enemy lines and was slaughtered. The tapestry is indicative of that, except for the fact that the arrow is missing from the figure's eye. However, if you look closely at the second figure's head, you will see that there seems to be missing stitches leading to the second figure's head. Why were the stitches put there, and why were they removed? These are both critical questions that unfortunately can't be solved, and further deepen the mystery into figuring out which figure is the real King Harold.
An attempt to try and analyze the location of the title a certain figure also fails, because the title, "Harold Rex Interfectus Est," stretches above both figures, "Harold" being closer to the first figure, and "Interfectus est" being closer to the second figure.
In my own speculation, I think that it is very possible that both of the figures could be King Harold. It is somewhat apparent that the -most likely Anglo-Saxon- artist(s) did not know how to divide the different scenes, therefore making it look like the Normans were attacking themselves in some part of the tapestry. I think that this is another one of those situations. If my speculation is true, it shows that Harold was shot in the eye, and then immediately after was killed by the Norman cavalry. This opinion is supported by David Bernstein, who was the first to point out the missing stitch marks leading to the second figure's head (Bradbury 207).
Despite the pitfalls in using the Bayeux Tapestry as a 100% accurate source for the Battle of Hastings, it does give us some insightful cues on what the Battle of Hastings was like, even if it is not completely accurate. An example would be the bottom part of the tapestry in the scene, "Harold Rex Interfectus Est."
Here we can see people stripping the valuables off of the dead soldiers and peddling their newfound loot for money. While there seems to be no other source that mentions this happening after the battle of Hastings, it seems likely that it did happen.
There are some problems when it comes to using the Bayeux Tapestry as a source though. There was an absolute bias of the art itself. The embroidery was made with the idea of showing the victory of William the Conqueror and his army, and was probably made for Bishop Odo, who was William's half brother. Also, because of the lack of worded description on what the artist was trying to convey, it is mostly up to the artist to interpret what actually happened during the Norman conquest. That is disadvantageous because of people's variance of views and opinions.
As mentioned before, the embroidery doesn't offer us 100% accuracy of exactly what happened, or at least we can not assume that. However, it does bring a resourceful and interesting perspective of what did happen. We may never know which figure was supposed to be King Harold.

India "Comes Out," Scrapping Law Criminalizing Homosexuality
By Diya Nag
Early this month, in a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of India overturned a 157-year-old law criminalizing homosexuality. The notorious section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, a relic of British colonial rule that outlawed "carnal intercourse against the order of nature," was declared unconstitutional by a unanimous five-judge panel.
As the court announced its decision, the media reported the news in real time, tweet upon tweet. And all over India, members and supporters of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or intersex community (LGBTQI) rejoiced and breathed a sigh of relief that they were no longer criminals in the eyes of the law. In its decision, the Court cited research indicating that about 8 percent of India's population of 1.3 billion identify as LGBTQI. In real numbers, that is approximately 104 million people, roughly equivalent to the entire population of the Philippines in 2017. Yes, roughly the population of the Philippines.

The morning of September 6, it seemed to many that the world's largest democracy had stepped at last into the 21st century. The court's four separate but concurring opinions spoke of individuality, minority rights, modernity, discrimination, transgender rights, changing social attitudes, and sexual health. Citing a prior decision on the right to privacy, Chief Justice Dipak Misra argued that punitive laws that erode an individual's right to choose a partner without fear violate the basic right to companionship, a right that is intrinsic to constitutional protections of life, privacy, and dignity, which together constitute the essence of liberty and freedom. Justice Yeshwant Chandrachud argued that the Constitution protects the fluidities of sexual experience and the right of sexual minorities to navigate public spaces on their own terms. But what caught the attention of many were these words of Justice Indu Malhotra: "History owes an apology to the members of the community… for this ignominy and ostracism that they have suffered through the centuries."
Seventy-one countries worldwide still criminalize same-sex relations, and the Supreme Court's decision has the potential to advance other decriminalization efforts in the South Asian neighborhood, where Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the Maldives still criminalize same-sex sexual relations. Nepal is the most progressive on this issue, with several laws in place to protect the LGBTQI population and prevent discrimination.
Putting aside the moral and constitutional arguments against section 377, its nullification promises practical benefits. India has more than a million individuals who can now openly coexist with their fellow citizens, and who represent an enormous, untapped population of productive workers and potential consumers. Freed from legal sanctions, India's LGBTQI community can now make its presence felt in the nation's economy.
As the euphoria dies down and the ramifications of the court's judgment become clear, here are a few initial observations:
First, Indian workplaces will need to become more diverse and inclusive. So far, LGBTQI Indians have either been excluded from workplaces or have concealed their sexual identities in professional settings. This may now begin to change, and companies doing business in India will need to revise their policies and practices to support diversity and inclusion. In an early sign of changes to come, less than two weeks after the court's ruling, a senior employee at a major Indian company was fired for harassment and discrimination against an employee for his sexual orientation. The head of the conglomerate took to Twitter to reaffirm his company's commitment to diversity.
Second, the "pink economy" is coming, and it's coming to stay. Within days of the court's decision, local hotels and travel companies began to direct advertising towards LGBTQI Indians, marking the start of what has been popularly termed the "pink economy." One of the petitioners in the landmark case, a well-known hotelier, reminded readers in a newspaper article that many members of the LGBTQI community have significant spending power and the potential to bring billions of dollars of business to India in travel, food, entertainment, fashion, beauty, health, and other areas. Development of the pink economy will also mean more employment opportunities for LGBTQI Indians. It will be fascinating to see how Indian and international companies capitalize on the opportunities created by this decision.

Third, discriminating against LGBTQI Indians represents a massive waste of human capital that is vital to India's economic future. In a 2014 report, the World Bank explored the economic costs of homophobia and the exclusion of LGBTQI people in India. It concluded that this stigmatization imposes tangible economic costs, including lost output in the workplace due to discrimination, unnecessary health problems, and poor educational outcomes due to harassment and exclusion in schools and universities. The World Bank has consistently pushed for the social and economic inclusion of India's LGBTQI community. Perhaps this is a good time for development practitioners and institutions to redirect their advocacy from a focus on unjust laws to one that emphasizes social inclusion and economic empowerment.
At midnight on August 15, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, delivered the maiden Independence Day address to an India just awakened to freedom from British rule. To many LGBTQI Indians, the morning of September 6, 2018, was a new Independence Day—a personal liberation and a rebirth of their beloved country. One can imagine the parties and celebrations that followed. But now that the pixie dust has settled, India's social-inclusion policies will need to change and grow to erase the long, colonial legacy of discrimination and exclusion.

Vietnam wins anti-dumping steel lawsuit in Australia
Friday, March 30, 2018 14:58
The Australian Anti-Dumping Commission (ADC) has ended its year-long investigation into alleged dumping of steel rod in coils exported to Australia from Vietnam in favour of the country after finding no evidence of foul play.
Illustrative photo (Photo: VNA)
In its Terminal Report No. 416 issued on March 26, the commission concluded that "the dumping margin for Hoa Phat, and for all other exporters from Vietnam, is negative."
ADC's conclusion also defined the dumping margin for exports from the Republic of Korea (RoK) and Indonesia at 20.9 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
According to regulations of the World Trade Organisation and Australian Trade Law, dumping of imported goods into the country with a margin of less than 2 percent would not be considered dumping. The Vietnamese steel exported to Australia was dumped at a margin of less than 2 percent.
ADC's decision is good news for Vietnamese steel producers as Australia is a potential steel market.
A representative of Hoa Phat Group said they had cooperated with relevant agencies and ADC in answering questions and providing adequate information and documents for direct examination in August 2018.
In addition to this, the group also submitted the plaintiff's arguments against an application lodged by OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd.
ADC concluded that there was no support from the Vietnamese Government relating to power tariffs and input material for steel producers, including Hoa Phat Group, as well as no special market situation for coiled steel rod in Vietnam.
ADC used the normal price comparison method in the local market and export prices to define the dumping margin. It decided to terminate the investigation as Vietnamese steel exports had not harmed the Australian steel industry.
Following an application by OneSteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd, on June 7, 2017, ADC initiated an investigation into the alleged dumping of coiled steel rod exported to Australia from Indonesia, the RoK and Vietnam.
OneSteel claimed that goods were being exported to Australia at prices lower than their normal value and that dumping had damaged the Australian steel industry through loss of sales, market share and profits.
Last year, Hoa Phat Group shipped 36,000 tonnes of coiled steel rod and steel bars to Australia. The group exported some 42,000 tonnes of steel to Australia in the first three months of the year.

Maasai Mara Animal migrations
Posted in Information
Maasai Mara Animal migrations - 5.0 out of 5 based on 1 vote
Thank you for rating this article.
The Great Wildebeest Migration, is one of the "Seven New Wonders of the World".
No where in the world is there a movement of animals as immense as the wildebeest migration, over two million animals migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the greener pastures of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya during July through to October.
The migration has to cross the Mara River in the Maasai Mara where crocodiles will prey on them. This is one of the highlights as the animals try and cross the Mara River alive.
In the Maasai Mara they will be hunted, stalked, and run down by the larger carnivores. The Maasai Mara also has one of the largest densities of lion in the world and is no wonder this is the home of the BBC wildlife channels Big Cat Diary.
About The Migration
The stage on which this show is set is loosely termed the Serengeti Ecosystem, about 40, 000 square kilometres pretty much defined by the dominant migration routes of the white bearded wildebeest (Connochaetes tuarinus mearnsi) and comprises parts of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the south; the Serengeti National Park and the adjacent Maswa Game Reserve and other 'controlled' areas in the centre, east and west; and the Maasai Mara Game Reserve to the north. The principle players are the wildebeest, whose numbers appear to have settled at just under 1.5 million, with supporting roles from some 350,000 Thomson's gazelle, 200,000 zebra and 12,000 eland. These are the main migrators and they cross the ranges of over a quarter of a million other resident herbivores and, of course, carnivores. The lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs and lesser predators await the annual coming of the migration with eager anticipation.
In reality there is no such single entity as 'the migration'. The wildebeest are the migration – there is neither start nor finish to their endless search for food and water, as they circle the Serengeti- Mara ecosystem in a relentless sequence of life and death. 'The only beginning is the moment of birth,' notes acclaimed East African author and photographer Jonathan Scott, who has spent the better part of the last 30 years chronicling the events of the Serengeti and Maasai Mara. Similarly the only ending is death.
There is little predictability about the migration, and questions as to which is the best month to view it are likely to get different answers from different people. According to Scott, 'You could spend a lifetime in the Serengeti-Mara waiting for the typical migration. The finer details of the herds' movements are always different. It is a dynamic process which defies predictions: no two years are ever quite the same.'
Probably the most important element of the environment to its inhabitants is the weather and the cycle of four seasons per year undoubtedly has the defining influence on the migration. The seasons are reasonably defined: the 'short dry season' is typically December to February/March; the 'long rains' fall over a six week period from March through April and into May; and the 'long dry season' is from June to September, with the two-week 'short rains' falling any time from October into November. There are however, no guarantees about these dates.
I have spent more than 20 years in the Serengeti, but when I fly over the great herds of migratory wildebeest or watching them gather before a river crossing, I still increased the breath and my heart beats to the neck. 1.5 million wildebeest, flanked from 200,000 zebras to their hazardous way through the savannah of the Serengeti. They defy incredible hardships and dangers, always in search of rain. Markus Borner, former director of the Africa program "Frankfurt Zoological Society"
We recommend the Governor's Il Moran Camp as the leading safari camp in the Masai Mara. Other possible camps are the Governor's Main Camp, Little Governors Camp and Camp Bataluer.
As lodges in Tanzania during this time, we recommend the Faru Faru River Lodge, Sasakwa Hill Lodge, Sabora Plains Tented Camp, Grumeti River Camp, Migration Camp and Camp Kirawira. However, the Kirawira and the Moru Under Canvas tented camp are best.

They say that the journey toward one's future begins with one single step. For me, that first step was probably different than yours – but it was not a journey of hardship as many often imagine. It was a journey filled with hope, with strength, and with courage–important ingredients for a successful life, whatever your age might be.
As I look back at my 24-year journey–from an orphanage in St. Petersburg, Russia to this day of graduation from the University of Illinois–I am overwhelmed with gratitude for those who have helped along the way. Who could have imagined, 24 years ago, that this was even possible?
I spent my first six years of life at the orphanage and will be forever grateful for the care that I received. From stories my mom tells me, the orphanage did their best to accommodate my independent spirit and stubborn determination that became apparent at a very early age. I must have been a handful!
It was that independent spirit–that dogged determination–that kept me going. Unable to stand, crawl, or walk–and with no wheelchair available–I taught myself how to walk on my hands, using my arms as "legs." That simple act of walking on my hands helped develop the muscles in my arms, back, and shoulders that have brought me so much success on the track…and in life–convincing me that we are who we are from the moment we are born. It is our job to take the gifts that we are given and use them the best way that we can.
While parents sometimes make us crazy–my adoptive family has been the greatest gift of all. I have been blessed with parents and two sisters and an extended family that see the potential in everyone. My parents fought battles for equal access in my early years and helped me develop a "voice" so I could share in the fight. When I was in high school, I fought (with my mom at my side) for the right to race alongside able-bodied runners on my high school track team. We achieved victory in Howard County, Maryland–creating new law that has been embraced nationwide – forever changing the face of high school athletics.
When you spend your first six years in an orphanage, you never take your parents or your family for granted. And you say thank you each and every day for the opportunities they have given you–the doors they have opened–and the dreams that they have helped become reality.
They get the credit for introducing me to the University of Illinois more than 10 years ago. They knew about the University's exceptional wheelchair athletic program and signed me up for summer basketball camp. One trip to the campus and I was hooked. No longer the only wheelchair athlete on the team, I was surrounded by others with the same dreams of achievement in academics and in sports that had become my way of life.
When I got here, I enrolled in ACES–they charted my excellent course of study in Human Development while Adam Bleakney took over from a sports perspective and molded me into the athlete I have become. I will be forever grateful to University of Illinois and ACES for the learning–for the coaching–and for setting the "gold standard" for all colleges and universities who seek to accommodate people with disabilities in all aspects of school life.
Fast forward through national, world, and Paralympic competitions–lots and lots of marathons–a medal or two along the way–and a new dream of competing in the winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia next year…and you get the story of my life. But the story of my life is not what matters here. What matters is what I learned along the way.
Here are a few of the lessons I have learned from this improbable journey of "one"…which is really a journey of "many." A journey of family, friends, professors, academic advisors, coaches, and all who have enriched my life these past 24 years.
First: Don't take anything for granted. Life is a gift. Our education is a gift. The fact that we sleep in warm homes–have family and friends who care for us–and have food on our table each day. These are all very precious gifts that many in the world do not enjoy. It is incumbent upon our generation to put our many blessings to work as volunteers in soup kitchens, youth leaders on playgrounds, and as advocates for those who don't have a voice. We must promise, in the days–months–and years ahead, to raise our hands and say "Yes, I can help." It is only in giving that we can truly receive.
Second: Say thank you to everyone. It is easy to make the assumption that because we have worked hard, we deserve what we receive and that "thank yous" are not required. I would argue that "thank yous" are always required. When things go well, we need say thank you to everyone who helped along the way. When things go badly, we still need to say thank you. Thank you to those who helped us learn the lessons that only mistakes can teach. Every mistake we make and every thank you we give brings us closer to success.
And last: Do not to put limits on your dreams. If you want it bad enough, you must try. And if you miss the first time, you must try again. Don't let others tell you that your dreams are too big–or your ambitions impractical. This country, the home of so many great discoveries, was built by people just like us who would not put limits on their dreams. We must learn to listen to that drive within us–that drive to explore, to experiment, to try something new. If we all listen carefully to that drive within, there is no limit to what we can achieve in life.
And now we all begin the next chapter in our life's journey–each one will be different, unique, and of our own making.
Let us all be blessed with the goodness of life–and let us do our best to live a life that is worth remembering.


Digital legacy | It's All In The Planning!
Most people are reluctant to think about their own death and what happens to their estate, but in terms of their digital legacy, it's essential to do so if they want to spare their family problems. Without the right data, it'll be difficult or even impossible for them to gain access to a deceased relative's Internet accounts.
Here are some tips from Germany's Federal Association of Consumer Organizations on how best to take care of your digital legacy.
Write it down: It's important to write down all login data for your Internet accounts and place the information somewhere relatives can find it. The easiest way is to write your usernames and passwords down on a piece of paper and keep them in an envelope in a safe place. It's important to remember to update them as required.
Get a password manager: This is a programme that saves all your access data in one place and in encrypted form. Then all you have to remember is one password, the master password. You'll have to let relatives know what this is so that they can have access if needed.
Choose a confidante: Users need to name a trusted person who'll take care of any rights and obligations arising from contracts with online service providers if they die. The decision to give someone power of attorney needs to written down, dated and signed in a document.
Avoid service providers: There are companies that will, for a fee, handle a person's digital legacy. However, the German association advises against using such services as it's very difficult to judge their security and trustworthiness. Certainly in no circumstances should such a company be entrusted with your password information.

Sabrina Kolker '03 and Samantha Magee '06 were each named to the women's eight that will compete in Athens at the Olympic Games next month. Once teammates at Stanford the two will be competing against one another as Kolker will represent Canada and Magee the United States.
While on the Farm, Kolker received All-American awards in both 2002 and 2003. Kolker began training full-time with the Canadian team after graduation from Stanford last spring. Kolker competed at the 2003 World Championships in Milan, Italy in the women's four without coxswain placing fourth. Kolker earned a seat in the eight and represented Canada in recent World Cup racing.
After making the 2003 U.S. National team in the women's eight, Samantha Magee spent this past season away from Stanford training with the U.S. National team. After a successful World Cup performance in June, Magee was again named to the U.S. Women's eight. The U.S. eight won both World Cup competitions that they competed in placing them as strong Olympic medal contenders.
Kolker and Magee led the Cardinal to a #1 ranking in the women's eight in 2003 and an NCAA bronze finish. They also led the Cardinal to its first ever Pac-10 Championship in 2003.


So many online networking sites and so little time to nurture them all. If you can't spend the amount of time there, you'd better make sure your profile is doing it's one job: Attracting your ideal customers. But how do we get flat text to do the heavy lifting?
Talk about "who you are".
current work experience and consider this done. Sure that's a great way to check off the task, but does it really help? No. This is the area where you want to engage the person by showing them who you are. What are your values? Share your thoughts on Fun centers. Answer why did you get into the space. Tell us about your family. Make this interesting and personal. It doesn't have to be long, but it would be great if it made us feel like we got to know you.
who do what you do. How will you make your profile stand out? You need to make sure you are using KEYWORDS. Keywords are the words that people use when "searching" online. Specifically list the types of attractions your family entertainment center offers.
the language of the people".
We all know that a picture is worth 1,000 words. Well, how many pictures are there in a 1 minute video?? LOTS!!! Make sure you're sharing imagery of people having fun.
Important to make sure people sign a photo/video release form.
You are going to want to have both. Depending on the site you may spend more time as one than the other, but you definitely want both. In fact, on both LinkedIn and Facebook you can't have a company page/profile/place without having a personal one. Similar rules apply. And the more photos the better. One last thing, don't be drunk tweeting from your company page thinking it's your personal one…you're not the President for crying out loud.
You wouldn't dream of putting your business online without your address so make sure your phone # and e-mail address are there too. This is all about ease of use…making it easy for your prospects to use you!
some really strong relationships with people we are no longer connected to.
job, your favorite boss from 6 years ago, a college suite mate or whomever, you would likely be able to pick right up on good conversation. Guess what? Some of these folks may be in a position to host an event at you venue.
those folks can find us and possibly help us in our future.
around commonality, shall I assume there is no need to write more?
Seriously, take the time to share your passions. You will probably be amazed at what comes from this simple act. It's a great conversation starter, it can open doors that weren't previously opened and you may just land your next gig because of it.
Having endorsements (third party recommendations) show up on your profile page is a great way to have others feel good about you. You have earned them, therefore you should feel great about asking for them. If there are people you would feel good about writing them for, do so. You never know, they may write one for you.
It's also a really good idea to ask for video testimonials from guests. Whether they've thrown a HUGE party or were just there for a couple of hours. Try and get as many different types of people to speak about the different attractions as possible.
Your online profiles are where people go to find out about you in the NOW world.
Whether you are meeting a new client, vendor or potential employer, they are checking you out online. What impression will they get?

Is Volume Fog Broken, Or Is Just A User Error?
First of all I declare myself totally noob in this matter, used volume mask looong ago and haven't used it (nor volume fog) for a while.
I was trying to add volume fog to a comp I've been working on, and I couldn't get it to work. After lots of tries I thought my world position pass was somehow broken, tried several things but the results were always wrong. Then I decided to give volume mask a try, just to be sure my wpp was not working, and guess what? It actually worked! volume mask reads wpp as expected and the mask behaves as expected. Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong, but this makes me think volume fog is broken, not so volume mask.
The second problem I have is with the external image to control the volume... no matter what, I always get errors from both tools... Again, I'm a noob but followed the tooltorial on eyeon's youtube channel, step by step, and simply couldn't get it to work.
If any of you have some expirience and want to share a couple of tricks/advices, I would really appreciate it.
this is because your sclices are set to 256! That means, your fog at frame 0 need the fastnoise form 0-256. so u need to expand your comp-range.
isotron is right. The source range is the most common problem.
Since VolumeFog uses the time to store the third dimension (one frame is one slice) you need to make sure it does not run dry.
However the mask behavior problem remains: volume mask seems to behave ok and the shapes is well defined. On the other hand, volume fog seems to be distorted and behaving very odd.
Any idea of why is this?
Pieter, will take a look at the link you posted, thanks. Unfortunately I can't share these files at least for now, but if I have time, will try to reproduce the issue with a simple scene.
It seems like I've had that problem before....just can remember what the issue was. Is the WPP 32 bit exr?
Yes Joel, tried with 32 and 16 bits exr, same result with both. Any other idea?
Found it, when I imported my camera, I used a scale factor (and forgot about it), so the solution is to scale the channels of the WPP by the same factor, or re import the camera with the original scale.


The Lowdown: What exactly is a "chemisette" you ask? Well, according to the packaging, it's "an ideal lingerie alternative" to the camis and tank tops (and I'd even add shells) that we usually wear under blouses, jackets, and other low cut tops for a little extra coverage and/or interest. It's a really simple idea, but the ingenious (and yet, also simple) part is how you attach it—with an elastic-and-button-deal that you wrap around your bra straps. Why didn't we think of this? We'll never know.
I admit, when I first saw this product, I was reminded of an elderly woman in my family (I decline to mention who) that would safety-pin a handkerchief or some similar scrap of random fabric into the front of her dress to achieve the same effect. Not exactly high fashion. But after trying the chemisette out, I think I'm sold. It's easy to attach, is substantial, and stays put (unlike the aforementioned handkerchief, on all counts). This time of year it's especially welcome, as in many locales (I live in St. Louis, for example, which can get a little steamy come July) warmer weather means layering is just SO not desirable. My only complaint? Maybe it's just my bra, but mine sat a little higher than I would like overall and was a teeny bit scratchy, but it could just be the lace-trimmed style I tried . . .


Are you ready for some football?!?!?!!?!
Football season is right around the corner y'all and I can't tell you how excited I am! And what comes with football? Tailgating, of course! To celebrate football season and all things tailgating, I've teamed up with a group of bloggers from all over the country that are huge football fans. We are bringing you 64 tailgating recipes that will keep you in tailgating celebrations all season long while you cheer on your favorite teams.
My contribution is a classic must have for any football tailgating party – the cheesy pull apart garlic bread. This is a fun and delicious appetizer guaranteed to win with any crowd.
Be sure to scroll down past the recipe to see all the fantastic fun football tailgating recipes from around the country. Be sure to click on the links and join the party!
Stuff shredded cheese down into the sides of all the cut squares - you may have to really jam it in there, but it's totally worth the effort - the more the better!
Note: The instructions say to bake this bread in the oven, which is what I do when I take it to tailgating or any other party, then just warm it up on the grill. You can also prepare it in advance (except the baking) and finish it on a grill over indirect heat – what you are going for is melted and bubbly cheese.
Note: Feel free to add any other ingredients right before baking, such as cooked bacon or sausage, chopped jalapeno or other peppers, pimento cheese, etc. Obviously you would want to cook any raw meat before adding it to the bread then bake it.


way. He explained, "A friend of mine, Tom Wright, had me go to Portland and look at a Vinnie Cavanaugh boat that he was interested in buying, the J.J. He said, tell me what I should expect, so I looked it over one morning with him, and then I told him it needs this, it needs that and that was about it. He walked into the place that morning and bought it. Over the next year he fi xed it up and it worked out great. Basically I got lucky from that informal survey. That boat got written up in an article and this owner, who is originally from Pownel, spent time in Portland, knew all about Vinnie Cavanaugh and wanted one. He called up Tom to see if he could get a Vinnie Cavanaugh. Tom said, 'Don't talk to me, talk to Alex.' So he called me about another Vinnie, SWELL. He gave me the survey, I read it then we talked about what it would cost to fi x that one up. He thought it was too much money. He had me go look at a completely different powerboat. I found a bunch of stuff wrong with that one too. He said which of these two boats should we buy? I said, "Neither one of them. What is it that you want?" He said, "I'll tell you the truth I have always wanted a Vinnie Cavanaugh." I said, "If you want a Vinnie Cavanaugh, I can just make you one. I'll copy Tom's." They were both really amazed that somebody could just copy another boat. So that is how it got started." J. J. was located in Freeport and Alex had good access to her. Alex added, "Mi- chael Start was going to do it with me and he is friends with Al Spaulding. He said if we are taking off her lines you should really get Al involved. I had never taken lines off so it was good to have Al's help. We took the lines off of that boat in four hours and then Al went home with all of the measurements and did the lines, offsets and stations." Once the lines were complete, he began lofting them on the fl oor of his shop two years ago. As for construction Alex said, "I went to J. J. and went through her. I looked at the scantlings, how big are the frames, how many of them, what is the size of the deck beams, where are they. I took measurements of the houses and windows. I made a whole bunch of notes. If I got confused or had any technical question I would just go to Free- port and look.
As for dimensions she is 36 feet in length with a 10-foot beam. Her oak keel is 4½-inches, the oak frames are 1 x 2-inches and the cedar planking is one-inch. Alex added, "Phil Sheldon helped me with the planking. We ended up with fewer strakes and it was more eye pleasing to us. An- other big difference is that I got rid of the stern post. Vinnie had a traditional stern post going right up through the boat and it stopped underneath the platform. It was bolted directly to a fl oor timber so it was stiff and I am assuming that was to keep the skeg from going side to side. I did away with that and did the Pete Kass method where you just extend the shaft log. The construction is simpler and then I made a regular horn timber, because the stern post isn't cutting it in half, going up through the boat." Her interior is simple, and designed for two. Forward is the head and as you move aft there are two berths, one to port and the other to starboard. At the bulkhead is the galley, which is on both sides.
to build in Alex's future? He was surprised that more people did not know about this one, but now that she has been launched he hopes someone will want a classic design, even if it is not a Vinnie Cavanaugh.


I am selling my Victoria because I purchased a 1957 Ford Sunliner (see the one picture of Black and Red '57 Ford convertible attached) and I need the parking space.
Open the hood and there is the Original 292 V8 Thunderbird engine rebuilt by a professional Machine shop in January 2016 with less than 200 miles since the rebuild. The 292/312 engine was introduced in 1956 as Fords most sought after option. This "Y Block" is topped with the economical two barrel carburetor (professionally rebuilt) with the correct argent silver OEM air cleaner. Notice the valve covers, these too are the Original OEM valve covers with correct decals. The fuel pump and fuel lines are correct and new. The dual exhaust system was custom made to original OEM specs.
While the engine was removed for rebuilding, the entire engine compartment was detailed back to it's original factory beauty of yesteryear. The voltage regulator, wiper motor, windshield washer reservoir bag, and plug wires were replaced with new OEM style.
TheVictoria body was completely stripped and painted back to it's original color, Flame Red and Colonial White. The front windshield glass was replaced with new OEM style and OEM gasket.The rear back glass was remove, cleaned and re-installed with new OEM gaskets. The seats and door panels were professionally covered with correct OEM upholstery and new correct red carpet was installed. All of the interior trim pieces were removed and professionally painted. The front and rear bumper were re-chromed and fitted back on the restored bumper brackets.
Check out the OEM LH and RH spotlight / rear view mirror and chrome mounting bezels. Both have been overhauled and detailed back to OEM specs....How cool is that !! They were fitted by a professional on to the body following the original Ford spotlight template. Both spotlights light up just as they did back in the day. The expense to accomplish all of the spotlight restoration and fitting cost over $1,000, but the "coolness" they provide was Well Worth the expense. FENDER SKIRTS: Some buyers like them, others do not. The Mercury Cruiser skirts DO NOT come with the Victoria, but they are available for an additional $500. The skirts were professionally painted with the unique two tone color. See the one picture of the regular skirts on the car and in the trunk either way, the regularskirts come with the Victoria.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PREMIUM COLLECTOR CAR, THIS FORD VICTORIA IS THE RIGHTCHOICE.
1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Victoria, 428 Cobra Jet red, white, and fast all over!


It isn't always eternal summer on the trail, though memories might make us think so. This is a scene along the Panhandle Trail in Collier Township. Winter is my favorite season to paint. I love the subtleties of color and shape with snow in the air and on the ground, and on the trail I am often all alone with the quiet of a winter day, or a gentle snowfall.
This painting won in the second highest award category, "Award of Excellence", in the South Hills Art League Juried Exhibit in autumn 2014.
The original is still available and I offer a variety of prints of this painting, as digital, giclee or on canvas. Visit my Etsy shop to see the options and purchasing information.

For a summer breakfast treat, play Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes and whip up these very simple, paleo-friendly pancakes. They are adorably small and snack-able, but satisfying and delicious.
Drop dollar size amounts of batter on the pan. When the pancakes are slightly dry on the edges and bubbly in the middle, they are ready to flip.
Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Grate chocolate over the dry mixture, add chocolate chips, and set aside.
Melt the coconut oil in the microwave (30 to 45 seconds), add the honey, and mix well.
Drop spoonfuls on a cookie sheet and bake for 11 minutes.
As the heaters turn up and the frost lines windows, I love warm comfort foods, especially when they are good for you too! This recipe was originally inspired by Bob's Red Mill's cookbook, but I have made several modifications until it finally became my perfect autumn/winter breakfast.
Put the coconut oil in a medium sauce pan on high-medium heat. When the oil is melted, add the chopped apples and spices.
Saute apples until soft, then add the oats, apple cider, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until the oatmeal thickens (15 – 20 minutes).
Heat the chopped pecans in a fry pan over medium heat. Stir them frequently and watch them as they burn quickly. Remove from heat when they are slightly toasted.
Once the oatmeal has thickened, add the chopped pecans and serve immediately.
As the holidays wind down and the cold months of winter are spread before me, I love the excuse for delicious comfort food at the end of a busy, cold day. This soup is particulary delicious after a day on the slopes, with a cold nose and tired achy muscles.
Put butternut squash in the microwave for 2 minutes. Take it out, cut off the stem, and then cut it half at the waist of the squash. Put the flat edge of the squash down on the cutting board, and slowly cut down to skin the squash. Cube the squash into squares and set aside.
Peel sweet potato and chop into cubes. Steam squash and sweet potato in a basket until it's soft (20-30 minutes). Set aside.
Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add chopped onions, apples, curry, pepper and salt, sautéing over medium heat for 15 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes.
Add squash, sweet potato, Tobasco, and chicken broth to the onion base. Bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it is smooth.
Add the coconut milk to the soup, return to simmer, and the soup is ready to serve. This recipe freezes very well for spur of the moment soup on a cold winter day.
Makes 8 cups, 140 calories per cup.
Autumn is one of my favorite times of year. The air feels crisp and clean, apples taste sweeter, and my favorite winter squash abounds: Pumpkin! How can you not love a vegetable that makes the most delicious desserts? I use every possible opportunity to incorporate pumpkins into my fall recipes, but pumpkin pie custard has to be my favorite. I eat it for breakfast or as a sweet treat after lunch or dinner. Best of all, it is filling and satisfying but without all the extra sugar and processed flour in pumpkin pie.
Mix together pumpkin, honey and spices (KitchenAid mixer will work well!). Add the eggs. Last, pour in the coconut milk.
Pour the liquid into your greased dishes. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 40 – 60 minutes (depending on the size of your pan). The custard will be done when you can shake it and the middle does not jiggle (or insert a butter knife in the middle and see if it comes out clean).
Let the pumpkin cool completely (overnight is ideal) and serve cold, either as breakfast or a dessert.
Makes 12 servings, 100 calories per serving.
Top custard with nonfat vanilla greek yogurt as a creamy topping.
Serve custard with a plate of ginger snap cookies for a sweet dip at parties.
This recipe could also be called "Pumpkin Coffee Creamer Reclaimed." Essentially, I add a couple eggs to the pumpkin creamer that is already well-stocked in my fridge, and we have some delicious pumpkin french toast batter!
1. Preheat griddle to high (or 400° F). Add 1 tsp of butter to grease the surface.
2. Preheat oven to 170° F.
3. Whisk eggs and blend with pumpkin creamer in a flat bottomed bowl or dish.
4. Soak each slice of bread for 30 seconds in the batter.
5. Place bread on preheated griddle and sprinkle cinnamon on the top.
6. Cook bread for 3 minutes, or until the bread is browned and crispy.

US consumers may suffer from Pelosi's Taiwan trip: Experts
Economists see rising prices and a delay of shipments as possible impacts.
ByHank Sanders
Speaker Nancy Pelosi talks with Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu before boarding a plane at Taipei Songshan Airport in Taipei, Taiwan, Aug. 3, 2022.
Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs via Reuters
When Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan last week, the world braced for China's response. Within hours of her departure, China began military exercises around Taiwan, leaving the world wondering how far China is willing to take its response. Evidence suggests China will not stop at military drills.
"The last time we [saw] a crisis like this was in 1996," Kai Hao Yang, assistant professor of economics at Yale School of Management, told ABC News. "At that time [the] computer chips market was not dominated by Taiwan manufacturers yet, plus the market was a lot smaller than it is right now."
Chinese President Xi Jinping warned of economic consequences during a call with President Joe Biden before Pelosi's trip. How would U.S. consumers be impacted? First, China could hamstring Taiwan's ability to export products. Taiwan is one of the United States' top 10 trade partners. In addition to vehicles and machinery -- important Taiwanese imports -- the island is also home to TSMC, the largest manufacturer of computer processor chips in the world.
"Some people talk about China blockading Taiwan's ports so Taiwan's chips can't go out," Ming-Jen Lin, professor of economics at National Taiwan University, said in an email to ABC News. "If this really happens, it's another story. But I think we are far from there."

If China took this action, it could force U.S. tech companies to use chips manufactured in the U.S., which would increase prices for consumers.
"The unit cost of producing a chip is 50% higher in the U.S. than in Taiwan," Lin said.
The second way China's retaliation threatens the American consumer is if Beijing chooses to impose economic penalties on U.S. trade. These actions could mean rising prices for American consumers and more supply-chain headaches.
"Chinese escalation could further exacerbate the supply-chain problem we're facing right now," Yang said.
Former U.S. ambassador to China and former U.S. senator, Max Baucus, is more optimistic about the fallout.
"I think there'll be short-term disruption," Baucus told ABC News, "but I don't think long term because business is so important to both countries."

China is at a crossroads with where to go next. A war would be catastrophic and business sanctions are less than ideal.
"China worships at the altar of stability," Baucus said. "And they want to keep the country's economy stable. And that means business."
For many decades, American consumers have valued China's ability to produce inexpensive goods. Those days, however, could be numbered.
"The cheap price era of the past 20 years is definitely over," Lin pointed out. "I am not saying it will happen overnight, but definitely gradually."
For now, American consumers have more to be worried about, like 40-year-high inflation and a possible recession. But economic uncertainty lies ahead as China and U.S. communication finds itself at a standstill.

Drink deets Trade a classic cosmo mix, which can contain about 120 calories per serving, for this zero-calorie one made with the herbal sweetener stevia. Refine has a hint of tartness with no bitter aftertaste. On its own, it's calorie-free, but don't forget to factor in the liquor.
Drink deets Made with 30 percent fresh lemon juice, SlimOnade has an authentic citrus taste. It's on par with a typical 70-calorie-per-serving lemon-drop mix—but for 5 calories.
Drink deets Hot, hot, hot! This spicy concoction is made with ingredients a bartender would use, including Texas Pete Hot Sauce and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. It's low in added salt (garlic, onion and chili extract provide extra zing), so it contains about half the bloat-bringing sodium of other Bloody Mary mixes.
Drink deets Sweet on whiskey sours? Regular mixes average 84 calories per 3 oz; using Bob and Chick's can shave off nearly 75 of those. The combo of lemon and Key lime juices, natural flavors and the sweetener Splenda pairs well with whiskey—or tequila, if you prefer it.
Drink deets Stir one of these handy packets into a glass with 1.5 oz tequila, 3/4 cup water and ice, and ta-da! Instant, tangy yet sweet margarita.
Drink deets A strong lime flavor ups the pucker factor without making it too sour.
Drink deets Blue agave tequila is included in this tart tipple from chef and TV personality Bethenny Frankel, and it saves you more than 100 calories compared with other alcohol-added mixes because it contains less sugar.
In a nation where calorie counts appear practically everywhere, alcohol bottles are glaringly void of them. Booze makers aren't required to post nutrition info, although a government rule is in the works to change that. The holdup: The spirits industry wants to list alcohol serving size as 1.5 oz; beer companies want a serving to be the entire bottle. It's not clear which camp will win, so for now go by the USDA's numbers—1.5 oz of 80-proof liquor has 97 calories, a 12-oz beer has 153, and 5 oz of wine has 123.

Federal agents seize 142 pounds of meth; said to be largest meth bust in Ohio history
By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times
Federal agents seized about 142 pounds of methamphetamine in the Cleveland suburb of Hudson, Ohio, in what is believed to be the largest meth bust in state history, the Department of Justice said Tuesday.
DEA agents seized about 82 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and about 60 pounds of liquid methamphetamine from a Hudson warehouse that doubled as a meth processing facility, according to court documents.
Tyrone Rogers 36, Hector Manuel Ramos-Nevarez, 26, and Gilbert Trevino-Garcia, 24, were arrested in the March 24 bust and charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, the Justice Department said.
"These seizures are yet another example of the prevalence of drugs and the demand for drugs in the Cleveland area and surrounding communities," said DEA Special Agent in Charge Timothy Plancon. "The DEA continues our efforts to target drug traffickers especially those contributing to the opioid epidemic in America.
Investigators said they listened to several phone conversations between Mr. Rogers and a person believed to be his Mexican supplier. The supplier allegedly gave Rogers the "green light" to kill the person Mr. Rogers believed stole his drugs, according to court documents.
The drugs were discovered when investigators executed a search warrant on the three defendants for plotting to kill the person they incorrectly believed took their drugs, the Justice Department said.

In a rapidly converging media environment, the relationship between games as ancillary products to a narrative core franchise generally problematises conceptions of transmedia coherence. Almost by definition, media-based board games cannot influence transmedia narrative development. If games are not narratively consequential, can they even be considered transmediated?
In this article, I argue that to integrate board games into a transmedia franchise requires a more inclusive view of the concept of transmedia storytelling. Previous analyses of transmediation, most taking their cue from Henry Jenkins canonical 2003 definition, articulate the term as a plot-based aspect of narrative. However, integrating games into a transmedia franchise means opening up the term to include affect and pathos as additional components of narrativity. I conclude that the affect of individual audience members generated via character pathos is an important and relevant aspect of game/story transmediation. Using The Walking Dead board games as case studies, I extend research into transmediation as it portends a more affective transmedia environment.


Facebook conducts performance reviews every six months to formally collect insights from an employee's managers and closest colleagues.
If there is anything at all surprising in one of these reviews, then "something has gone terribly wrong," Facebook's VP of People Lori Goler told Business Insider.
At Facebook, these reviews are checkpoints rather than investigative, revealing evaluations. "We do it twice a year because the business moves very quickly and our product moves very quickly, and if you wait a whole year, a lot of things have changed," Goler said.
These evaluations can be used to determine new responsibilities for an exceptional employee, which can then lead to a subsequent compensation discussion. But they aren't used to decide that an underperforming employee should be fired, Goler said, since managers would ideally not allow poor performance to persist until a formal meeting.
All of Facebook's roughly 12,000 global employees have access to internal proprietary software that allows teams to be on the same page. Managers are trained to avoid micromanagement, and are instead directed to stay up to date with how projects are progressing, offering real-time feedback and any necessary assistance.
Coworkers can also give each other ad hoc feedback using the software, and there is a designated "thanks" section they can use to express gratitude to a colleague.


The computer labs at Rutgers have saved more than 120 million sheets of paper – six acres of trees – during the first eight years of the print conservation program.
Every January and July, $30 is posted to the printing account of each Rutgers student. As a student prints a document, the account is charged 4 cents per sheet of paper if the document is printed on a black-and-white printer. Documents printed on a color printer are 25 cents per sheet.
Students who use up the $30 before the end of the six-month allotment period will pay for additional printing with their Raider Card. To learn more, check print usage or add funds, visit printing.rutgers.edu.

Whether you're moving to a new house and re-evaluating your entertainment system needs, or simply in need of an upgrade to hook into new technologies available then RT Edwards is here to help.
We've put together a quick guide to help you to choose the system that best suits your lifestyle.
Many televisions are too small for the room they're in which can cause your viewing experience to be poor – don't strain your eyes when binge watching!
To make sure you have the right size TV for your space, measure the distance from where you'll be seated to where the TV will be positioned and write it down e.g. 180cm or around 6 feet. This will be the optimal viewing distance you should be aiming for.
Below, we've provided you a table to help. Television screen sizes are measured diagonally and shown in inches. Here in Australia, most of us know centimetres, so we've converted the optimal distance to cm to help. Just find a screen size that matches to the distance you wrote down.
Keep in mind that you can always move the TV further than the optimal distance, but if you move it closer you may start picking up pixels when viewing.
Check out RT Edwards range of TV's here.
Don't forget that if you need expert advice drop into one of our stores with highly knowledgeable and friendly staff. Locate your nearest RT Edwards store here.
Smart TVs need an up to date sound system to get the best audio experience. If you want to go all out, you can't go wrong with a Home Theatre System, but if you want a minimalistic look or don't have a heap of space then Soundbars still pack a punch. Either way you'll get great quality sound.
If you're not keen to pay for a subscription TV service and want to record free to air TV, recording devices are a good alternative. PVRs or personal video recorders can allow you to watch one show and depending on the unit record up to three other shows at once! If you're busy or are working when your favourite shows are on, then it will never miss an episode again. Check out RT Edwards range here.
If you're on a tight budget, but still want to get the best out of your down time, then RT Edwards has four ways to get it.
Buying these big-ticket items is great if you have the cash saved, but many of us don't. RT Edwards also offers range of finance options to suit your needs.

Today is the day! You cleared the afternoon schedule, took the key out of the junk drawer, and you're ready to head to the local self storage facility to finally clean out and reorganize your storage unit. You've been meaning to do this for months, but are finally getting around to it today… So you hop in the car, drive to the storage facility, throw open the door, and think "OMG – I can't believe that I left it like this!" Boxes torn open and left half empty, sweat shirts hanging from old lamps, and a pile of something that you don't even recognize shoved in the corner.
How did our storage unit end up like this? At this point you're saying to yourself "I'm sure I had everything organized when I moved in, and I'm pretty sure I invested in a storage place to AVOID clutter." Well, it's time to get back on track, and get organized with a storage plan!
The Storage Inn of Egg Harbor Township and Ocean City has put together some tried and true planning tips for organizing your storage space.
Before you begin your work, set up three areas – one for items that you will keep, one for items that you will donate, and one for items that you simply need to throw away. If you're confined to working within your storage unit or the area immediately outside your unit, you'll have a space limitation. Instead of pulling all of your belongings out at once, you'll probably be more successful pulling out a packing box or two at a time and making decisions before moving on.
As you repack, check to make sure that all of your storage boxes are full. Full boxes stack much more easily than half filled boxes, and are less likely to crush under the weight of the moving boxes above them. Converting your storage solution to plastic tubs can make this process even easier. Label all of the boxes or bins in your storage space clearly, and leave a small area to walk through your unit, if possible, to facilitate access throughout the year. Place the boxes or items that you are most likely to need throughout the year, close to the entrance, or at the top of the stack – planning ahead can really pay off.
Stop in and visit the staff here at The Storage Inn – We've probably dealt with the situation you may be dealing with, and would be happy to help you reach an ideal storage solution. Keep in mind, most storage facilities have moving and packing supplies onsite that are designed to make your job easier. And if you're in need of a few extra boxes, packing tape, or packing material while you're doing your repacking at your storage unit, just walk on over to the front office to update your packing supplies.
Hopefully these tips will help you to get your storage unit well organized once again – remember, a place for everything, and everything in its place. Now go git'er done!
Wow! What a storage unit find!
If only it were at our facility! But truth be told, Beatles drummer Ringo Star was recently rummaging through his storage unit rentals and found some real treasures! Read below to find out more. Now we've never had a Beatles member rent from The Storage Inn, but we have had a very unlikely, celebrity guest as one of our tenants.
My name is Jerry. I'm the Sales Manager at The Storage Inn self storage in Egg Harbor Township New Jersey. One of my duties as sales manager, is to compose our tenant newsletter, but while prepping for this year's Fall / Winter edition, I came across something very interesting. It was a previous newsletter from before my time, that included the "Fun Storage Unit Fact" that magician David Copperfield had once stored items at our facility! "Hey!" I thought – " What's a rich famous guy like David Copperfield doing using a self storage facility? Do other celebrities rent storage space?" I was curious, so I did a little research, and here's what I found out.
Robert Pattinson of Twilight Rents Storage Units For Collecting!
Movie star Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame likes to collect clothing, books and other collectibles when he travels for movies. He can't carry all the items with the crew as they move from movie set to movie set, so he rents storage in different cities around the globe to store them. And it's not uncommon for Pattinson and other celebrities to rent under a fake name or they have their manager or assistants rent for them.
Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton's Storage Stuff Auctioned!
Late last year, it was announced that 2 storage units owned by Lindsey Lohan were going up for auction, and a few years ago, Paris Hilton's storage unit was auctioned off for over $2,500.
Even Michael Jackson Rented Storage Space!
Other notable names, known to have used self storage space include Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Burt Reynolds. Even the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, owned a storage unit that was found to contain over 250 unreleased Michael Jackson recordings done at a time when Michael Jackson wasn't under a recording contract with a specific company.
This made me think… A couple of weeks ago I had a tenant move in that looked just like Elvis Presley! Hmmmmm. The perfect cover!
$800,000 Beatles Guitar Discovered In Storage Unit!
Your local self storage facility – you pass the place on your way home from work every night – you know the one, with the office out front, and the rows and rows of identical doors, where people store the stuff they don't have room for at home. You probably don't think much beyond that, but what you may not know is that a few self storage facilities are much more active in the community than you might think!
As the sales manager of The Storage Inn in Egg Harbor Township I know first hand just how much we get involved in the community. We offer price breaks to local college students and military personnel, as well as providing discounted programs for community residents affected by local layoffs.
We ask the people in our area to use our services, so in return, it's our obligation to let the people in our community know that we're there, and that we care.
For instance, in 2102 our locations in Ocean City and Egg Harbor Township provided close to 100 storage units for up to three months to Hurricane Sandy storm victims free of charge.
The Storage Inn donates space to the Atlantic County ARC, and the local Faces 4 Autism charity. We donate both space, and rental vehicles to the Atlantic County Sheriff's Department's Toys 4 Kids program, and the local Ladies Invitational Bluefish Tournament, which benefits breast cancer prevention. The employees from our Ocean City location show up every year at the local church, with a truck load of turkeys to donate for holiday dinners for the less fortunate. We are proud to be involved in all of these charities, as well as providing monetary sponsorship for our local softball team, and summer beach concert series.
So the next time you drive past "that self storage place" keep in mind they may be doing more for the community than you're aware of.
Thank you for taking the time to read this article. Definitely keep The Storage Inn of Ocean City and Egg Harbor Township in mind when you need some extra space!
Happy Birthday America! Independence Day is here, along with hot dogs, hamburgers, the beach, cold beer, and fireworks – but what is this holiday really about? To find out, let's do what all proud Americans would do to answer this question – Google it! According to Google, July 4th, or Independence Day is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, by the Continental Congress declaring that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation. So where is the original Declaration of Independence stored now? Let's start with where it's been.
During the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence was rolled up like an old road map, and toted around from town to town for the people of this great country to view – (these guys could have used a lesson in document storage). Less understandable is the haphazard way in which it was stored after the Revolutionary War. Water was spilled on it while it was being copied in 1823. It was even tacked up on the wall at the U.S. Patent Office for about 40 years, where it was subjected to a strong northern light causing it to fade permanently. In 1903 it's curators finally decided that maybe it would be a good idea to get it out of the sunlight. It wasn't until 1951 that the first modern preservation efforts began.
Today the Declaration of Independence is displayed in a case made of titanium and bullet proof, light filtering glass, filled with inert argon gas.
So how do you store your important documents? Well, good news – You don't need a titanium, bulletproof, argon filled case. All you need is a file cabinet! And for those files that you need to keep handy for years to come, such as tax returns, bank and credit card statements,and medical and Insurance records, you may want to consider renting some space at your local self storage facility. A small rented storage space can provide you with a clean secure space to store your document for easy retrieval when needed. Document storage tip – organize and place your documents in file folders, inside a cardboard file box. Place the cardboard file box inside of a sealed plastic tub with the contents clearly labeled on the side of the container. They're not The Declaration of Independence, but they may be important some day. Gotta go – the fireworks are starting!

NTPC supplies power to NWT communities by three very different methods: Hydro, Thermal and Alternative Energy.
The communities of Wekweeti, Fort Providence, Trout Lake and Kakisa are served by NUL.
NTPC is developing a variety of Alternative energy sources to provide reliable, green energy to communities that are not within range of hydro facilities. The aim is to stabilize power costs and protect consumers from variable rates caused by dramatic increases in the price of diesel fuel. For example, the Inuvik plant has been converted to use liquefied natural gas to replace diesel fuel. Other examples of alternative energy use include the largest solar array in northern Canada providing power in Fort Simpson and a unique combination of solar power and battery storage in Colville Lake.


The positive situation currently experienced by building industry, towards to an industrialization and rationalization, is the result of various new technologies of production and management emerged in the 90s, in order to enhance the competitiveness of firms, increase the flexibility in the final products and improve the quality of these. One of these philosophies, specifically the one is against waste and seeks to add value to the product by understanding needs of the final customer, is known as lean construction. In accord to this, the objective of this study is to propose, through a case study in C. Rolim Engenharia Ltda. (Brazilian building company), guidelines for internal evaluations at the construction site about the level of application, implementation and consolidation of this philosophy in a company that already has embedded in its organizational culture. The methodology for the development of this proposal includes: characterization of the company which will be evaluated in this case study; formulation of the lean tool checklist according to lean practice of the company; and the definition of the application parameters, such as frequency and evaluation criteria. For this case study, the lean audits were applied monthly, from June 2011 to October 2011. These, in fact, point out to reach the goals set, once: all audits have attended more than 80% of the lean checklist requirements, and performance and areas for improvement in the lean aspect are reported on the Lean Diagnosis generated from the Lean Checklist, besides the fact that the audits and their Lean Diagnoses impact positively the process of making strategic and tactical decisions in the construction site.

Intermountain Catholic | 1899-11-04 | More regarding Catholic Chaplains
Article Title More regarding Catholic Chaplains
MORE REGARDING CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS. . It is unfortunate and most deplorable deplor-able that our Catholic soldiers and seamen sea-men should be deprived of the opportunity oppor-tunity of receiving the ministrations and consolations of their religion. The fault is, of course, with the government, govern-ment, which, in the appointment of chaplains, takes no account of the religious re-ligious faith of the men to whom chap-Jains chap-Jains are sent. . The Intermountain Catholic is convinced con-vinced -that there is but one way to remedy the evil. It is a way that may seem drastic and radical to some, but we are cuite convinced it is the only effectual way. If there were no salary attached to the office of chaplain and the service was a purely voluntary one, the men who now bring all sorts of political I influence to bear in order to secure chaplaincies would soon be looking for office elsewhere. In this case volunteers from the Priesthood would not be lacking, lack-ing, and our neglected sailors and soldiers sol-diers would not be deprived of religious ministration, but as long as a good fat salary and divers emoluments go with the office of chaplain, so long will the Protestant clergymen with a "pull" be appointed to minister to Catholics, who, of course, will ever lefuse their ministrations. Such is the condition, and such has it always been under our government. From time to time protests are made by Catholic bodies, but always witho'ut result. In 1849 the following appeal was made by the United Irish Societies of the country to President Hayes. It was unheeded by the then President, whoso successors likewise have practically continued to ignore it, although the condition at the present time is not quite so bad as it was in 1879, yet the difference is so slight that 'this protest is as forceful today aa it. was twenty ve.rst ago: To the President 1 of the " United States: The undersigned, Roman Catholic citizen of the United Slates, respectfully represent to your Excellency, Excel-lency, that In the appointment of chaplains chap-lains to the Army and Navy of the Union an injury and injustice is done to their co-religionists in those branches of the public service, which they beg to bring to the attention of your Excellency, in the confident belief that you will appreciate the evil and apply the remedy. Provision is made by statute for-the appointment of thirty-four chaplains in the Army and twenty-four in the Navy the nominations to be made by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Now, your petitioners respectfully show that, while the Roman Catholic soldiers and sailors are largely in excess ex-cess of those of any other denomination, denomina-tion, and aro believed to be at least per cent of all the service professing any belief, there is but one Roman Catholic chaplain in-the Army, . and none, so far as we are informed, in the Navy. The injustice of this would seem to be too apparent to need argument. But your petitioners, further most respectfully respect-fully urge that the magnitude cf the evil is not measured by this inequality conspicuous as it l and can only be appreciated when your Excellency considers con-siders the far greater consequence attached at-tached by professors of our Faith than by our Protestant fellow citizens, to the ministry of a clergyman of their own creed. To the Catholic nothing can substitute or supplement his Priest; and he attaches to his ministrations, ministra-tions, especially in sickness and in preparation for. peril or. death, a value for which there is not only no equivalent, equiva-lent, but no approximation in the relation, rela-tion, of a Protestant to his minister. For these reasons, we earnestly entreat en-treat your Excellency to give this prayer your early and favorable consideration; con-sideration; satisfied, as we are, that the inequality of the present arrangement arrange-ment must be conceded, and not doubting doubt-ing that you will not only be ready to appreciate it. but disposed to remove it as speedilv as possible consistent with your duty. Hence, considering all the circumstances circum-stances in the appointments of chaplains, chap-lains, Ave submit that the best service which American Catholics can render to Catholics in the Army and Navy Is to demand that the government refuse to make provision for the payment ot any chaplain.
