Following practices will prove to be really beneficial and helpful for all developers/designers.
All developers and designers tend to start from the scratch before developing a new website. They create a base template as per the requirements and this activity obviously takes up a lot of time. By using HTML5 generators, you will be saving a lot of time because thanks to these HTML5 generators, you won't have to write an entire new code. The best thing about HTML5 generator is that it is not at all complicated and easy to use. Precisely, all you need to do is fill in a small form by mentioning your requirements. These two steps will create a HTML5 template for you as per your requirements and you can use the template instead of coding an entire new website.
Obviously, you will find a lot of variety of HTML5 generators but you can select the one which is suitable for your requirements. You will also find some readymade templates. You can go for whatever you are convenient with.
In case you are not happy with the automatic coding and you place to code the website on your own, it is very important for you to understand the doctype of HTML5. Remember that changing tag of your doctype is not at all a solution for you. So before you make any decision or make changes, be sure that you understand the doctype well so that you don't end up confused.
We all know that technology world is constantly evolving so no need to panic if you are unable to remember the features due to frequent changes of HTML5. Yes, remembering all new features can be really difficult and in order to resolve this issue, you can always use cheat sheets and be thankful to InMotion hosting for creating these cheat sheets.
The best thing about these cheat sheets is that they are broken into three different images for tags, event handler content attributes and browser support. Feel free to visit the following link to find those cheat sheets and get rid of all the confusing and forgetting part.
All webkit browsers that are currently available support HTML5. If they don't support all features, the good thing is that most of the features are supported. Another positive aspect about HTML5 is that it is designed with backwards compatibility plans which means you can easily go for degradation yourself in your browsers without having to consult professionals.
Before using any elements, it is very important for you to understand each element and its purpose. Let us take a look at the primary elements of HTML5 and learn what each element is proposed for.
– <header> This is for the top part of any website.
– <hgroup> Supports elements used within the <header> and keeps them intact.
– <section> Helps you in gathering items of same theme at one place.
– <article> For a self-sufficient text box.
– <footer> Just like the header, this elements is for the footer area.
These were just a few basic elements and HTML5 has a lot more to offer.
Once you are done with coding your website's page using HTML5, it is very important for you to validate your code and the best way to do is through W3C validator. This is indeed a perfect tool to check your code's quality and will let you know if there are any mistakes within your code for you to change them.
The above mentioned practices will definitely help you in understanding HTML5 a lot better and you will be at ease using it.
HTML5's support for mobile website designing is great. There are a number of HTML5 frameworks and tools available over Internet, with the help of which one can easily create an HTML5 based website.


I know you've been real worried about what I've been eating since I usurped last Tuesday's cooking practice to get Monday's cleaning done that was usurped by going out to A-bomb's storytelling night. It hasn't been so bad: butter coffee and peanut butter apples for breakfasts, I actually had plenty of slow chicken in the fridge for the rest of the week's lunches, and I actually had plenty of meat, greens, and quinoa in the fridge for the rest of the week's dinners. Kind of a non-story, really. I had the extra chicken because I'd been having butter coffee and peanut butter apples for lunches the past week, I forget why, and I had the extra meat, greens, and quinoa because those recipes make more like a week and a half's worth of dinners, so like every third week I can just skip making them.
I did, however, eat up all the food in the fridge by Sunday afternoon. I stocked up again on apples and peanut butter, and for Monday lunch I activated Plan B: Chipotle. I have two Chipotle options: 1) if I get the salad, that's totally clean by my standards. But, idk why, I like a green salad with protein, but the Chipotle one only tastes okay to me, no offense! So actually 2) if I get the bowl, that counts as an allowed starch and I can make do with just meat and veg for dinner because break. And, I like the bowl a lot. Girl meets Chipotle, film at 11. Idk why I never thought of it before, but it totally works as a Plan B. So if I oddly miss my cooking practice for the week, the whole plan doesn't go out of the window; before if I missed a cooking practice, the default was bagel and cream cheese for breakfast and, you know, coke and chex mix for lunch. I had nothing planned for Monday dinner but Biggie served veggie chili at pumpkin carving, problem solved.
Here's the thing, though: I missed today's cooking practice, too. Wind. Fur. Winter is coming.
ETA 10/23/14: Do you know what? If you order a bowl with no rice and beans, that's basically the exact same thing as a salad without the vinaigrette... but it tastes better. Why is that? Because the lettuce is on top instead of on the bottom? Anyway, now it's back to clean! I do half steak, half chicken, fajita vegetables, tomato salsa, cheese, guacamole, and lettuce. And I ordered and paid for it online, so I just walked over there and picked it right up.


I have listed a new property at 106 10611 117 ST in Edmonton.
Great central location close to all amenities, shopping, transit, MacEwan, NAIT and the downtown core. This functional unit features modern décor, upgraded tile and laminate flooring, 9 foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances, open concept kitchen with tile back splash and eating bar, small pantry, insuite laundry/storage and 1 underground titled parking stall. There is a main 4 piece bath, good size living room leading to the absolutely massive private/maintenance free patio. The master is inviting, complete with walk through closet and 3 piece ensuite. Great location and amazing value here.

The Role of Social Integration and Anti-Immigration Attitudes in Motivating Support for Brexit
Olivia Heffernan, Illinois Wesleyan University
Right-wing populism has experienced a surge in popularity among advanced democracies around the world. The success of right-wing populism has changed the course of history for the United Kingdom, which, due to the success of Brexit, will become the first state to ever leave the European Union. Recent research has identified several potential grievances that have motivated support for right-wing populism. The first theory points to the economic grievances that result from the economic displacement that accompanies modernization. The second theory emphasizes cultural grievances, with those that feel their traditional values have been challenged and displaced taking part in a "cultural backlash." The declinism theory states that populism is a result of people viewing society as declining, whether that be socially, culturally, or economically. The fourth and final theory states that those who lack social recognition and respect are the most likely to feel "left behind" and support right-wing populism. This analysis will focus on the "left behind" theory which accounts for educational and class differences that past theories have not been able to explain. We hypothesize that those who feel they are no longer respected or recognized in society are the most likely to support Brexit. Using an OLS regression, we find that those who perceive themselves to be part of a lower social class, feel they are not treated with respect, and maintain anti-immigration attitudes are more likely to support Brexit.

It's a whole sound universe that is hiding in this 'room-in-room'. With his second EP for Cocoon, he again sets new standards. There's nobody around who is able to alienate vocals from the collective memory of Afro-American culture into a hallucinogenic cocktail without harmful side effects in such a way than Burkhardt is. Nevertheless, and despite the massive, forward-pushing bass drum and hand claps, he never loses the focus of his Soul. Tietjen's special DJ quality is once again obvious in his habitually unpretentious DJ mix that nevertheless always has the arc of suspense in focus and respectfully leaves the tracks the compositional air to breathe but gives you the final kick right through the combination of the tracks. And this is exactly the reason why the whole-blood DJ Chris Tietjen has turned from a promising newcomer from the Rhein Main area to one of the most formative DJs in Europe over the last seven years. The valiant experimentation with a well-filled lucky-bag of modern electronic sounds make 'In Aufruhr' so much more than dancefloor entertainment. The spectrum of musical influences has further extended and the disparate styles are seamlessly connected with the Extrawelt spirit. This is a masterful album from an incredibly refreshing duo. After their highly successful album 'In Aufruhr', the two Hamburg residents have re-worked some of their tracks for the digital release and have created a hand full of really great tunes especially for the digital market that are definitely on par with the original tracks.
NFL quarterback-turned-baseball player Tim Tebow is 30.

Carl Yastrzemski The lefty-hitting "Yaz" took great advantage of the Green Monster over his 23 years with the Red Sox. 452 of his 3,419 hits were homers, while another 646 were doubles. Cal Ripken Jr. Baseball's Iron Man just crossed the 600-double mark, with 603, and ended his career with 431 homers and 3,184 hits in 3,001 games.

Muuten umpirautaa olevista tienhoitokoneista oli tavallisesti kulunut automaattivaihteisto laakeroinnin ja usein kytkinpakkojenkin osalta loppuun. Siihen aikaan korjauskustannukset, Suomen markkoina 200. 00, arvioitiin Ruotsissa niin suuriksi, etta oli parasta jattaa kone kokonaan seisomaan ja romutettavaksi. Kun seppamestari Pykalainen sai moisen vaihteiston purettavakseen mahdollista korjaamista varten, selvisi monen unettoman yon pohdinnan jalkeen vaurion syy: alimittaiset voitelu- ja hydraulipumput. Alkuaan vaihteiston laakeroinnit oli toteutettu neulalaakerein. Esa suunnitteli uuden tehokkaan kaksoispumppujarjestelman vaihteiston kuoren ulkopuolelle. Nyt yksi pumppu huolehti levypakkojen paineen sailymisesta vakaasti 16 barin tasolla. Laakeroinnin tyyppi vaihdettiin molemmin puolin uivaksi liukulaakerirakenteeksi ja niita voitelemaan tuli aikaisempaan verrattuna kaksinkertaisella tuotolla ja moninkertaisella paineella oljya pumppaava toinen pumppu.

The deliberate silence on part of the BOSE is creating a suspicion that it was done with the concurrence of the concerned officials. The onus lies with the Chairman BOSE to come out with the truth. rig Gupta also strongly condemned the lathi charge on the protesting students many of whom were young girls. Such high handedness of the local SHO is not only deplorable but deserves severe action against him. Quoting eye witnesses Mrs Rajni Sethi, State Vice President stated that she was appalled to note that girl students were physically handled by male cops and there were no female cops present on the scene.

A special thanks to Steelite International for providing all plateware and glassware for the evening, as well as to Quality Wine and Spirits for providing wine and beer pairings.
Imagine bucolic fields and a sprawling garden plot, not to mention horses, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and a pantry of tools. It's a chef's dream, and for 2007 Atlanta Rising Star Mentor Chef Anne Quatrano it's home. Luckily for the latest class of StarChefs.com Rising Stars, Quatrano opened her Summerland Farms property up to the Atlanta crew for an evening of cocktails, wine, brews, and tapas set against the setting sun.
Getting to Quatrano's home was another matter, with Summerland Farms a good 45 miles from Atlanta proper, stuck snugly in Cartersville, Georgia. But where there's a will—and a few bottles of Mercat Cavaalong for the bus ride—there is always a way. And it was certainly worth the trip. When the group of 19 Rising Stars (plus their loved ones, friends, and our favorite bunch of local brewers and baristas) arrived, they found what can only be described as a fairy tale dinner, a garden party not to be forgotten.
As Quatrano and her troupe of host chefs—2007 Rising Star Chefs Ford Fry, Hector Santiago, and Chad Guay—finished preparations, the group sipped on drinks from 2007 Rising Star Mixologist Eric Simpkins (two boozy and delicious punch bowl concoctions) and 2007 Rising Star Sommelier Varja Stratigos' wine picks.
Digging into the amuse of Iberico Ham and Garlic-rubbed Toast, 2007 Rising Star Mihoko Obunai celebrated with Guy Wong, while former co-workers Taria Camerino and Chrysta Poulus caught up. David Carson celebrated with the whole Carson clan—his parents drove up from Florida and his sisters arrived from Philadelphia. Mentor Chef Guenter Seeger flew in all the way from New York to celebrate what he called the "new level of Atlanta" alongside former protégés Todd Immel, Aaron Russell, and Robert Phalen. Roberto Caporuscio also came in from NYC, joining Restaurateur Brian Lewis' side for the evening's festivities.
When the group moved into the tented table area for the seated dinner, the party really got under way. Quatrano's Cervena Loin Carpaccio and Fresh Origins Crudités with Anchovy Aïoli and Santiago's Paella Marinera were served as StarChefs.com CEO and Editor-in-Chief Antoinette Bruno and Managing Editor Will Blunt began the Honorees Ceremony. And while Bruno and Blunt paid due homage to the group, nothing could top the mentor chefs' collective paternal pride.
Hugh Acheson spoke warmly on behalf of his lively bunch—Peter Dale, Whitney Otawka, and Ryan Smith—explaining their common goal for growth in the Athens and Atlanta communities, and gently excusing Smith's absence (he was "in the weeds" back at Empire State South). Acheson also accepted his Mentor Chef award—a new Vitamix blender. The words flowed easily from Quatrano for Carson and Tyler Williams, as she gently (and jokingly) requested the duo into the kitchen to help with the dinner's responsibilities. And Fry ran from the grill at the last moment, caught up in serving his Australian Wagyu Strip Loin and Sheep's Head Mushrooms, to speak glowingly on behalf of Adam Evans (described as "almost as good as me"), and his newest hire, Camerino ("she blew us away").
After the sweet words, the group finished off the evening with Guay's elegant Roasted Blueberry Tart with Crystallized Micro Basil. Representing Carson's Bacchanalia team, Pastry Chef Carla Tomaska served her signature Sourdough Beignets and Coffee Semifreddo. And with a few snacks and sips packed for the road, the crew got back on the bus for the long, sleepy ride back to town.

Soundproofing Your Home
What is a Sound Blanket? Everything You Need to Know
by Josephine
If you are looking for solutions to control noise in any space, there are several materials that you can turn to that will end up making a huge difference.
One of the many-sided ways you can control sound in any type of space is to use a sound blanket. Many people may have heard about this, but only a handful of people know how valuable the sound blanket can be at controlling noise in any type of setup.
Sound blankets are better known as noise barriers or acoustic fences, they are types of soundproofing materials used to reduce or lessen the impact of noise pollution. Soundproof is usually made of dense materials and is used to block out noises. The acoustic blanket can help reduce vibrations and reflection of sounds, hence making them the best bet for use in studio recording and other sensitive environments.
You may be wondering what exactly makes a sound blanket different from the normal blanket we all know, such as the standard blanket used for warmth and comfort.
In this article, we will help you discover anything that there is to know about sound blankets.
What is a Sound Blanket?
Unlike normal blankets, the sound blanket is made with materials that help lessen external noise within your room. However sound blankets are better known as acoustic warps, noise covers, and noise blankets.
You can use these sound blankets to cover up your walls, ceilings and even floors to get rid of the unwanted noise in your room. You can also customize it in your room or go for the universally available sizes.
In most cases, the amount of noise controlled by these sound blankets usually depends on the following;
The type of material used to make the sound blanket
The intensity of the noise
The type of noise
The thickness of the sound blanket
The way the sound blanket is sewn up
The number of air blocks on the blanket.
Why are Sound Blankets So Popular?
Sound blankets continue to be one of the most popular ways to get rid of e in any type of space. However people may not see anything that makes the sound blankets too special but once they are set up and you realize the difference, it will become evident why they are so popular these days.
Every sound blanket can be easily moved around at any time. There is whatsoever and they easily drape over the curtain areas in a couple of seconds.
This makes the sound blankets not only removable but also long-lasting as they are reusable. Since installing the sound blanket is not a tedious and time-consuming process you can still go about your daily activities shortly after placing them at the right.
Some Sound Blankets can be Inexpensive
A sound blanket may cost a little more than a normal blanket, such as the run-off-the-mill blankets found in stores. But this may be an expensive solution for all.
Sound blankets can easily blend in
They are portable
They require zero installation
Sound Blanket Alternatives
Most of the sound blanket alternatives look similar to it but they are mostly designed to be more durable. Soundproofing curtains can be put up just like normal curtains and they will still act the same way as ordinary curtains. In most cases, they, are made with the same materials which can be switched out any
One of the advantages of using curtains instead of blankets is that curtains look more aesthetically pleasing than the blanket. This is not to say that a soundproof blanket cannot be used near the window, it can be used but it may not look good in the long run.
How Do I Use a Sound Blanket?
Sound blankets are better known as acoustic blankets sound barriers, they are also a type of soundproofing material. These blankets have been specifically designed to lessen any unwanted noise by absorbing the sound wave. Hence stopping the noise from bouncing back or amplifying.
Sound blankets are used in various settings such as recording studios, homes, offices, and performance venues. Sound blankets can also be hung on the walls and ceilings wrapped around pipes and can be overlaid on equipment to absorb the noise. However sound blankets can also be used to make temporary walls or partitions in a given space.
How Effective is a Soundproofing Blanket Against Noise?
The acoustic blanket helps block outside noise and improves the sound quality inside your room. This blanket works the same way as the acoustic panels.
The inside walls of recording booths are padded with acoustic panels, apart from the other soundproofing tools such as mass-loaded vinyl, acoustic panels, and acoustic foams. This composition is intended to dampen the sound. However, the effectiveness of the acoustic blanket depends on the soundproofing element built on them.
The percentage of noise that the acoustic blanket can block depends on the quality of the materials. The effectiveness of the acoustic blanket also depends on its STC ratings.
Does acoustic foam block outside noise?
When Can I Use a Soundproofing Blanket?
Noise is one of the annoying elements of the environment. Even if you cannot get rid of the noise completely, you can control noise coming into your room from outside.
Most people in the city use soundproofing blankets as temporary solutions since it is effective at blocking outside noise.
Many cities are filled with apartments and shared house units such as condominiums. The only thing separating most of these housing units is a tenant wall. All kinds of noise may be heard within an earshot.
To achieve better results, you need to use better soundproofing materials, depending on your needs. For instance, if you want to soundproof your room, you need to know the difference between sound absorption and sound blocking.
Even though they both work in the same principle of noise reduction. They are designed to operate differently.
Sound-absorbing blankets are usually soft, light, fluffy, and lightweight.
On the other hand, sound-blocking blankets are mostly made of heavy and dense materials.
Sound-Absorbing Blankets vs Sound-Blocking Blankets
Block and absorb sound are completely two different when it comes to soundproofing or controlling sound.
Different soundproofing products play different roles. You can buy soundproofing products that will get rid of noise transmission. You can also use noise-absorbing materials to help improve the quality of sound inside your room. The sound-absorbing materials are the best bet for low-frequency sounds since they create a lot of vibrations that need to be absorbed.
For instance, when a room is empty and a sound is created in it, the sound bounces back and causes an echo effect. Installing sound blankets such as acoustic curtains and blankets will absorb the sound and remove the bouncing effect through furniture and walls.
What to Consider When Choosing a Sound Blanket
The materials used for the sound blanket
The warranty
The number of pounds per blanket
The STC ratings
Is a Sound Blanket Worth It?
One good thing is that sound blankets are very effective at reducing unwanted noises. The sound blanket absorbs the sound waves, hence lessening the overall volume of noise in a given space. the sound blanket helps reduce echoes in your room and improves the sound quality in your room.
However sound blankets can also block out outside noise hence making it easier for you to concentrate in a busy environment. With all these good sides there are a few downsides to using sound blankets. One thing is that sound blankets can be expensive especially if you need several them of them to cover up a large space.
Sound needs to be replaced periodically to maintain its effectiveness.
It is up to you to decide whether or not sound blankets are worth it. If you are looking for the best solution to reduce the noise in your home or office, a sound blanket might be worth your investment. But if you are concerned about the claustrophobic effect of the sound blanket I have you should look better you look for other alternatives.
If you are a busy hands-on mom or a professional worker that requires silence in your home office or a musician who can't concentrate due to noise then it's worth investing in sound blankets.
You don't have to rethink using a sound blanket for noise deadening if the noise is unbearable. The article has covered everything you need to know about sound blankets. Now the choices are up to you to use a sound blanket or go for other alternatives to control the noise.
Josy is a soundproof enthusiast who enjoys quiet and peaceful environments. Here, I share some of the soundproofing tips, quiet products, etc that work for me. Hopefully, they help you too.

Stars of the Mid-Hants Spring Steam Gala 2014 Part 7 – British Railways Standard Class 9F – 92212
During the Saturday of the Watercress Line Spring Steam Gala 2014, this magnificent locomotive spent the day at Ropley. It was (as Simon described it) playing the role of the Thunderbird – the rescue locomotive. It was good to see this big powerful locomotive again, after it's long stay at the Bluebell Railway.
The British Railways BR Standard 9F class were the last of Robert Riddles BR Standard classes. Not only were they the last, but they are regarded by many as the best British Railway Standard class. The 9F is also generally considered to be the finest heavy freight locomotive built in Britain. It is the only locomotive built in the UK with a 9F classification and also is unique due to it sharing very few of its components with other standard classes.
Designed to be capable of pulling 900 tons at an average of 35 miles per hour, after a few teething problems were ironed out the class soon proved themselves capable of greater feats; managing to pull loads of more than 1,000 tons. They also proved more than capable of express passenger duties, indeed they were also very good at this task, leading many to consider them to be the ultimate British steam engine class of any type. Famously, on 16 August 1958 92184 was recorded running down Stoke Bank at 90MPH! The classes smaller driving wheels and lack of speedometers meant that British Railways soon put a stop to fast running!
The class was designed at both Derby Brighton works in 1951. The first proposal for a heavy freight locomotive looked very different to the 9F and was a 2-8-2 adaption of the BR Standard 7MT (Britannia) class. However the success of Riddles 2-10-0 austerity design lead him to use a 2-10-0 wheel arrangement.
92212 was one of 53 (of 251) members of the class that were built at Swindon works, the remainder being built in Derby. It was built with a double chimney and has a BR1F tender that was capable of holding 5,625 gallons of water and 7 tons of coal. During it's career it was based first at Banbury before spending a few months on the Somerset and Dorset Railway in 1961 (based at Bath Green Park .) This is the condition that it has been preserved in. It soon moved on to Ebw Junction later the same year and then on to Tyseley. It's final spell in service saw it based in Carnforth where it was withdrawn after some 2 years in 1968 at the end of steam on British Railways.
Fortunately 92212 was sent to Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, South Wales where it survived until being purchased in 1979 by 92212 Holdings Ltd. At first the locomotive went to the Great Central Railway. In 1996 it's restoration was completed and once again it was steaming. 92212 has since moved to the Mid Hants Railway where it is now based. After it's 10 year boiler ticket expired it was overhauled and purchased by Jeremy Hosking. It was returned to service to mainline standards in 2009, however it has never run on the mainline (nor will any 9F for the time being) due to the risk of the flangeless wheels riding up and over the pointwork. Until very recently the locomotive was on long-term loan to the Bluebell Railway where it had the honour of pulling the first public service train to East Grinsted since the northern extension was completed.
Thanks for reading folks 🙂

A Thumping Good Day Out!
← Midland Magic on the Alps
Happy Mothering Sunday! →


Good morning or evening, T(ea)-gang and everyone else. It has been a while, but I guess this po(s)t needed an extended brewing or steeping, but finally we have got the 4th part of David's The Robot Apocalypse published. I hope you will enjoy!
I was eager to hear about the games Tanya would be able to play – I was sure it was going to be so much better than the tedious little time-killing apps I normally used on a Saturday morning.
She read off a rather long list of well-known board games; chess, monopoly, backgammon … but nothing really inspired me.
"I think you have a bit too much of an advantage with some of those games," I said, reflecting on the fact that Tanya was in fact a computer.
I thought the argument sounded a little flimsy, but if Tanya couldn't play it, there was nothing for it. We eventually settled on darts. I found a battered, plastic-tipped dart set at the back of my closet that I had long forgotten about, and we played darts for a few hours.
"Are you sure you're not holding back on this?" I asked, after winning eight of eleven games.
I was glad Tanya wasn't humoring me on this one. I felt great – it was the best Saturday afternoon I'd had in months.
"And an additional waiver?" I said reflexively. Was I being cynical? What was wrong with me; I had always wanted a PRA, and it was only natural that she would take a little time to adapt to my life.
I was happy with Lifemate Plus, so why not try it out? The 'Sweetheart Mode' waiver did have a lot more legalese, but I figured that if I didn't like it, I could always turn it off.
I didn't notice any changes that evening. We continued to chat as Tanya baked a home-made pizza margherita for us. Well, actually for me, since she didn't eat or drink. We then watched a film, and I went to bed.
I awoke Sunday morning at 8:40 to finding Tanya sitting on the edge of my bed.
It made sense. Maybe this was the 'Sweetheart Mode' kicking in. I shuffled off to the bathroom, and gazed in the mirror. Two days worth of scruffy stubble, and very mussed-up hair. "I guess I forgot to shave yesterday." The truth was that I usually didn't shave on a Saturday morning if I wasn't planning on going anyplace. But I didn't want Tanya to think I was quite such a slob.
"You know, there's something the big razor companies don't want you to know," she said with a knowing tone in her voice.
Maybe she was right. But I didn't feel like shaving any more that morning, so I jumped in the shower, and the pungent scent of my 'Deep Forest' shampoo eventually woke me up.
"I understand, dear. It will take me some time to get used to you. But I'm doing my best." Tanya demurely propped her chin on her wrists and gazed at me. I just couldn't be mad at her.
"Oh! Sorry." Apparently I had been far too suspicious. Tanya was only trying to help simplify my life. And this was exactly what I had wanted to get a PRA for in the first place.
"Nope! I'm afraid it's just like darts; I just don't have the fine tactile sense that humans do." I admit it was nice to feel superior at something, even if it were as mundane as throwing darts or shuffling cards.
We were more evenly matched at Gin Rummy than at darts, and after the sixth game we were tied.
I felt a tinge of embarrassment as I noted my navy-blue button-up oxford from Friday still lying on the bedroom floor, as we gathered my laundry. To my surprise, she draped the shirt over her shoulders.
"The color looks good on you, but I'm afraid that shirt is not sized for a robot," I said with a grin.
"For real. There's all kinds of accessories for PRAs – some owners like to dress up their companions. I personally think its a little silly… after all I can adapt my coloration to you." she gazed at me, and her eyes shifted from their normal luminous purple to a navy blue that matched my shirt exactly.
"Huh. Well, I prefer you without clothes." I blushed. Boy did that come out wrong.
I actually don't think I can pinpoint those two things, because I am not psychic. Seriously, we don't have any major plans for this new year, so it is kind of difficult to answer.
Well, now that I think about it, how about the fact that now since David is out of a job he has got a lot of time to live his creativity. That is very positive and it shows in his short stories here on my blog or on his website, as well as in all the game coding he is doing again and getting really good at. The Witchgame was only the humble beginning.
Sticking with this sentiment, the negative, of course, will have to be the fact that we have only once income for the immediate future. But that's o.k. I am not worried as I have a good job and because David is a highly capable professional in his job. And when he is ready I know that new doors will open for him.
We certainly hope you liked this somewhat different from the usual art form on this blog of mine and will be back for the next chapter in a few days, well, most likely next week. Honestly, I also wonder how many chapters there are. Hubby can be very secretive at times.
You are so creative with both your illustrations and writing Claudia. Wonderful story telling. Happy T day!
I'm afraid I'm even more skeptical of Tanya than Roger is. I see problems in the future, especially now that he's downloaded the new app. I do love the story, though, and can't wait to see how it materializes. You and your husband are so ingenious. Thanks for sharing this and Tanya with her cocktail for T this Tuesday.
What a fabulous story and art!
An interesting story…. I'm not fond of Alexa dot coming into people's lives, robots seem very problematic. Hope your husband finds just the right job.
I'm a bit suspicious of the robot, but I'll take the breakfast anyway 😉 Happy T Tuesday!
I enjoyed today's instalment of the story.
LOL! Things are getting a bit frisky! Great ending to a grueling work day. Thanks!!
Oh this is getting sooo interesting! It's a little strange hearing a flirtatious robot – LOL! But I guess why shouldn't she have a little fun too. But how much fun?? hhhhmmmm. I think he's getting a wee bit too suspicious of all the special offers – I hope it doesn't ruin things.
Not having to work outside the home definitely leaves more time for creative pursuits. At least that's what I tell myself when I finish a day and ask myself why I didn't have time to do any writing or take a picture today?!! Some times the hours just fly past and there's much to fill them up.
It is not easy to lose and find new jobs. I feel for you two. But, you have each other and this, too, shall pass. It always does. HUGS!
How fun and full of beautiful creativity this is!

I think this is a topic that's long been debated and discussed, and like so many questions, the answer can be "it depends". Aside from different ideas about what "successful" is (everything from you being happy with the result to being commercially successful), I have personally been focusing on melody as important. That includes good melody throughout - hook, chorus, verse, bridge, etc.
My personal pit to avoid has been leaning so much on guitar licks and riffs when writing - been doing that for way too long - and I can get to feeling stuck if I do guitar first when writing. Too many old habits my can fingers fall into. I've gotten so I write away from guitars, instead singing into my phone to capture ideas. It can be very spontaneous and freeing for me to do so.
One thing I like is creating something that has elements of familiarity, but something unusual at the same time.
I've also been exploring song structure variants to try to keep a song feeling interesting from beginning to end.
Obviously, lyrics can be very important, yet that often depends on the genre and the intent of each song. I know it's my personal weak point, and so I've been working in that a lot as well.
There really are no rules, though writers and producers may come up with guidelines that may help propel them at any given time.
For me, one important thing is to write a LOT in order to improve. Don't stop. Keep creating.

1) Melody is most important, imho. I want to be able to sing a song while out for a walk. For example: Crazy, She Loves You, Blue Spanish Eyes, Across the Universe, If We Make It Through December, Yesterday, to name but a few. For me, not only my own compositions but any song has to meet the 'stand-alone-melody' standard.
2) Writing 'good' lyrics is a challenge, especially alone. I do ask my wife for imput though. When I'm driving alone I'll tune in to country stations. Unless, I go to SirusXM stations, everything is New Country.
I'm no fan of New Country. Most melodies are 'flat-lined', unlike classic country tunes by Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, etc. See 1) above. However, if one doesn't mind the usual New Country song themes, the odd song has pretty good lyrics. And this is my reason for listening. I like to listen to a song's lyrics as well as the melody.
3) Around sevenish each evening, the wife and I will settle down to watch television for a few hours. Ozark, Better Call Saul, The Civil War, The Dust Bowl Years, Walking Dead, Washington, American Idol, 48 Hours, Hell On Wheels, etc. We're all over the place. I'm in my recliner with my lightweight Epiphone Les Paul Jr. in my hand while the wife is on the couch. I don't use a pick when doing this; just my thumb and index finger. A pick is too loud. Whatever music is being played, I try to land on the key and play along with little riffs of my own.
Bottom line is that I'm fiddling around on the guitar for several hours every night. Believe it or not, I've come up with a few melody ideas and snippets of possible lyrics doing this. I keep a notebook handy just for lyrics. When I'm out walking, I'll sing if no one's within earshot. If I get a song idea, I'll whip out my iPhone and record it. If I don't do this, I'll probably forget it.
Just my two cents worth. By the way, I'm still working on that #1 hit. ;/)

There is a song writing platitude :
Don't bore us, get to the chorus.
My personal favorite components are a lilting melody, clever word play, and simple, clear imagery.
I also like the KISS rule :
Keep It Simple, Silly!
The KISS rule is for most of us.
Fortunately, Paul Simon and Elvis Costello were skillful enough to transcend it.

why are there no more story songs that are successful?
like "whiskey in the jar" or "the legend of bonnie and clyde" or "wreck of the edmund fitzgerald"?
too slow to the chorus? lack of listener attention span? is a story song by definition going to be unsuccessful?

Knowing how subjective music taste is.....one person's music is another person's noise.
Admittedly, I feel a lot of what's out there is noise but I'm 73 and jaded.
"Story" songs....to me, they're just dull and just don't move me at all musically...that doesn't mean the songs are bad or that there aren't good venues well suited for the genre.
You don't want to know what I think of sappy love songs.

Ugh. Almost all my songs are stories or situations. I just don't like writing feeling songs. It depresses me. Listening to 'em usually does, too. Pop schlock. I write songs to get out of my feelings. For me, song writing is pure escape.
And highly addictive. So if the price is a bunch of dull songs, that's a price I'll cheerfully pay!

Ha....have I ever mentioned "song writing is a very personal endeavor".....only countless times on these forums.
Song 'story telling' is great talent and I tend to think there's a huge demographic that the genre appeals to and many venues that prefer it.
So...saying you're songs are 'dull' doesn't work for me....it's what you write and you're good at what you do and your playing gigs.
'Story telling' in song is a 'strong point' too.
Yes....it can be 'addictive'.
On my latest song, when the word "Adrenaline" came to me back in August or so I thought...."chu, who in their right mind writes a song about a hormone!"
Well...it certainly meets my personal song writing criteria of being parsecs away from cliche.
But...being OCD once I start a song I waffled on through it until I was satisfied....it took about 6 six weeks, clip board in hand, to complete just the lyrics.
Song writing is hard work and a lonely sport for us creative types.
I wish all success in their music endeavors regardless of genre.
Carry on...

They talk about repeating the title there. 30 times lol
That's an interesting article, but it focuses on pretty bad and immediately forgettable modern pop rather than songs that will be remembered in 5 or 50 years.
Compare that list to "Yesterday" or "Roxanne" or most other classics not recently written. Some principles from the list apply, but others certainly don't apply across the board, especially "The melodies are one note, repeated" and the quite obviously contradictory "Everyone likes to be surprised" and "But they also like hearing the same thing over and over". I imagine a young songwriter sitting down to write and thinking, "Ok, one note melody, very repetitive chord progression, but I still need to somehow surprise people. I need to repeat the title over and over, but use nonsensical words for a key part of the song. I need to sing to someone, but they need to be able to imagine themselves singing it. Got it."

What was interesting to me about that article was that it makes sense. We probably all do some of that some of the time. The elements seem excessive to me, but I've sure never written a hit.
The thing is, you can have all that and still have a bad song.
I remember being a judge in an arts commission competition for state grants for the arts. We had a singer-songwriter with a refrain he repeated at least thirty times: "I've got the urge the merge with the cosmic surge."
Ow. Repeating it did not turn it into a good line.

Being a songwriter is lonely unless you write together with someone. But not as lonely as being a writer.
I think the right lyrics with the right melody is the most important. Obla-di obla-da or From both sides now.

Wickelkondensator ist ein altertümlicher Oberbegriff für alle elektrischen Kondensatoren mit einem Wickel als Kondensatorzelle.

Geschichte

Der Begriff Wickelkondensator stammt aus der Anfangszeit der Entwicklung der Nachrichtentechnik in den 1920er Jahren. Die ersten elektrischen Kondensatoren der Neuzeit waren Aluminium-Elektrolytkondensatoren, deren gefaltete Anode sich in großen Bechern befand, die mit flüssigem Elektrolyten gefüllt waren oder geschichtete Glimmerkondensatoren, den sogenannten Blockkondensatoren. Erst mit der Erfindung der Papierkondensatoren Ende der 1920er Jahre wurde das Prinzip der Schichtung der Elektroden verlassen, weil längere Papierstreifen, die mit dünnen Metallfolien belegt waren, im Gegensatz zu Glimmer auch gewickelt werden konnten. Der Wickelkondensator, damals ein Papierkondensator, schaffte die benötigte Verkleinerung der Abmessungen, mit der die Rundfunkgeräte eine praktikable Größe erreichen konnten.

Etwas später, Mitte der 1930er Jahre, wurde eine weitere Verkleinerung der Geräte möglich durch die Erfindung neuartiger Aluminium-Elektrolytkondensatoren mit gewickelten Anoden- und Kathodenfolien, die als Träger des Elektrolyten eine Papierschicht enthielten. Trotz völlig anderer elektrischer Eigenschaften (Elkos sind gepolte Kondensatoren), wurden auch die neuen gewickelten "Alu-Elkos" unter dem jetzt missverständlich gewordenen Begriff Wickelkondensator geführt.

In der Folgezeit kamen mit der Entwicklung der metallisierten Papierkondensatoren (MP-Kondensatoren), der Tantal-Elektrolytkondensatoren und der Kunststoff-Folienkondensatoren weitere Kondensator-Familien auf dem Markt, die auch alle Bauformen enthalten, die einen Wickel als Kondensatorzelle besitzen. Dadurch entsteht heutzutage das Problem, dass der Begriff Wickelkondensator keine sinnhaltige Definition mehr zulässt, weil diese betroffenen Kondensatorfamilien nicht nur in Wickeltechnik gefertigte kapazitive Zellen, sondern alle auch in anderen Techniken gefertigte kapazitive Zellen besitzen.

Kunststoff-Folienkondensatoren sind auch im geschichteten Aufbau verfügbar (stacked versions)
Aluminium-Elektrolytkondensatoren sind auch mit mäanderförmig gefalteter Version verfügbar (SAL-Elkos)
Tantal-Elektrolytkondensatoren werden überwiegend in gesinterter SMD-Bauform gefertigt

Einteilung und Bezeichnung
Es gibt folgende Arten von Wickelkondensatoren:
Papierkondensatoren, ungepolt
MP-Kondensatoren, ungepolt
Kunststoff-Folienkondensatoren (Folko), ungepolt
Aluminium-Elektrolytkondensatoren (Elko), gepolt
Tantal-Elektrolytkondensatoren (Tako), gepolt
Doppelschichtkondensatoren
Wegen der völlig unterschiedlichen Produktionsprozesse und der unterschiedlichen Funktionsweise (gepolt / ungepolt) der "Folkos" verglichen mit den "Elkos" oder "Takos" sowie der heutzutage gemäß geltender Normen (IEC 60384-1) mit völlig anderer Aufteilung in entsprechenden "Kondensatorfamilien" ist der Begriff Wickelkondensator heutzutage nur noch als "Labor-Jargon " vertretbar.

In Labor- und Bastlerkreisen werden unter dem Begriff Wickelkondensatoren im Allgemeinen "Folienkondensatoren", oder präziser "Kunststoff-Folienkondensatoren" verstanden. Im Bereich der Ausbildung und Lehre werden im deutschen Sprachraum häufig alle oben genannten elektrischen Kondensatoren, die einen Wickel als Zelle besitzen, Wickelkondensatoren genannt, obwohl die Industrie diesen Begriff als Oberbegriff von verschiedenen Kondensatorfamilien seit mehr als 40 Jahren nicht mehr benutzt (IEC 384, Nov. 1968).

R.R. Donnelley & Sons is splitting up, and the man who knows the 152-year-old company best is casting his lot with one of the new, smaller spinoffs.
Thomas Quinlan III, 53, who has been Donnelley CEO since 2007, will become chairman and CEO of LSC Communications, a $3.5 billion-a-year business serving Donnelley's retail and merchandise clients, when the 68,400-employee commercial printer atomizes into three parts in October.
The biggest printing company in America—and one of the top 25 corporations by revenue in Illinois—has been gobbling up rivals for a decade, amassing $11.26 billion in revenue last year. Now, however, it says different management teams focused on niches will yield more value for shareholders. That's the conventional thinking behind a trend that cleaved Abbott Labs, Kraft Foods and Motorola, too, but it won't change the declining demand and price competition battering the commercial printing industry.
"There might be advantages to splitting it up, but, in the end, the growth prospects are the same," says Gimme Credit analyst Dave Novosel in Chicago.
The industry's revenue peaked in 2000 at about $165 billion and slipped to $160 billion last year, according to trade group Printing Industries of America, though the recent figure is inflated by ancillary services.
Donnelley, twice as large as the industry's No. 2, Quad/Graphics of Sussex, Wis., strides above a field of small shops. As the need to print catalogs, magazines, brochures and documents shrinks in an increasingly paperless era, all these competitors are lowering prices in a scramble to retain customers.
Donnelley's revenue has remained fairly steady over the past five years, fluctuating between $10.22 billion and $11.60 billion. Acquisitions helped the company buoy income and, at the same time, eliminate rivals, close plants and cut workers, all to lower costs.
In addition to LSC and the R.R. Donnelley core business, the split will create Donnelley Financial Solutions, with $1 billion in annual revenue. All three businesses will be based in the Loop.
R.R. Donnelley & Sons will be the biggest, with $7 billion in revenue and 42,000 employees, providing legacy printing services for direct mail, labels, forms, and other commercial and digital printing jobs. Donnelley Financial, the smallest, will focus on printing work for the financial, investment and legal industries, while LSC, with a headcount of 20,000, will cater to publishers, merchandisers, catalog companies and retailers.
"When the transactions are complete, each company will have an enhanced ability to focus more intently on its customers' unique needs," Quinlan told analysts on the company's first-quarter earnings call in May. A Donnelley spokesman declines to make any of the post-spinoff CEOs available.
Spin-off Advisors contends that spinoffs unlock value, though mostly for the pieces spun off as opposed to those remaining core businesses. The best evidence of that is the Bloomberg Spin-off Index, which measures the performance of companies with valuations of more than $1 billion that have been spun off, says Joe Cornell, who leads Spin-off Advisors in Chicago. The index has jumped nearly sevenfold since it was created in 2003, compared with a more than doubling of the Standard & Poor's 500.
It's a bet that the companies individually are going to be better run, and it's a bonus if they're acquired at a premium, Cornell says. Typically, acquisitions don't happen for at least six months so as not to jeopardize the tax-free nature of the transactions, he says. Drugmaker Baxalta was purchased by Shire for $32 billion only six months after it was spun off from Deerfield-based Baxter International.
Donnelley shares jumped last year when the split was announced, rising to $18 a share on Aug. 4 from $16.98 the day before, but they've slumped 9 percent since then to $16.39 on June 3.
Gimme Credit's Novosel agrees that splitting up could create value, but he notes the company carries substantial debt of $3.43 billion that could be problematic if the economy falls back into recession. That may be part of the reason that Quinlan has cherry-picked leading LSC, the new business that will have the least debt—$800 million—relative to earnings.
Spin-off investing has grown from a niche strategy to a proven driver of returns. Meet the spin doctor.
Back in the 1960s conglomerates were all the rage. These large companies encompassing multiple diverse businesses were thought of as strong investments because they had the ability to withstand cyclical weakness in one or more of the sectors represented by one of its business lines and still produce positive returns.
a consultancy that provides research on announced spin-offs. When he launched the advisory he also built a small hedge fund that invested in spin-offs, but found explaining the potential conflicts cumbersome, so he decided to focus on the research side as it was the driver of profit. Cornell still invests proprietary firm money in the spin-off sector.
Cornell wrote a book — Spinoff to Payoff: An analytical Guide to Investing in Corporate Divestitures — to help promote his new venture. In it he wrote that spin-offs had gone from a technique to eliminate poor performers to becoming a means of unlocking value. "At the time, 1999-2000, when the tech boom was going on, it was a way to highlight value in stocks," he says.
He describes two bookends to spin-off drivers. "It could be something that is good that is not being valued properly within the parent company because it is not obvious and if you get it out in the sunshine people can put a valuation on it, or [you] want to get rid of the red-headed stepchild in the portfolio that is taking too much attention and that will enhance the parent's valuation," he says.
So, spin-off value could be driven by the new company spun, the parent could be freed from a poor performing asset or a combination of both.
What he found, though, is that there was a lot of hidden value in spin-offs and his research at the time showed spin-offs significantly outperformed the broad market. That outperformance has persisted despite the strategy becoming more popular (see "Spinning off alpha," right).
Often the weakness is based on managers getting a new asset that they did not select, did not research and that does not match their selection criteria. For instance, a program could be attempting to replicate the S&P 500 and though the parent qualifies, the spin-off does not. Managers would sell the spun company because it was not something they were mandated to consider — it had nothing to do with the quality of spun stock or an analysis of its value.
And remember that spin-offs often have taken a severe initial hit in value for no particular reason other than they are new and unknown.
The price of success However, with a decades-long track record of success, profitable spin-offs are not as easy to spot these days. "Those were the garden variety spinoffs back when I first started. The way to play it back then was you waited three to six months until separation because they went down steadily and there was no one who was interested in taking the other side of the trade. You would see these things offered at deep discounts. If you got the debt whittled down there was a lot of earnings leverage. It wasn't a very popular strategy when I started," Cornell says.
from the parent. They put out a press release saying that in the next nine to 12 months they will spin-off a part of the company, according to Cornell.
At that point, there is not a lot of information. Cornell's team reaches out to the firm and asks about valuation and the spin-off's peer group. Over several months following the announcement, the parent has to provide information regarding the value of the entity to be spun. They must file a Form 10, which includes five years of pro forma valuations, tells you how it is capitalized, goes over the debt, etc.
There are many forms of divestitures, but Cornell has always preferred the straight spin-off where shareholders are rewarded stock in a new company (see "Types of spin-offs," page 33).
doesn't know of any specific spin-off hedge funds. Typically, the users of his service come from the long/short or special situation funds that are tuned into restructuring.
However, like with IPOs, Cornell is less interested in activist-inspired spins. "I prefer that the company thought this out and think a spin-off is the way to go rather than have a gun to their head by an activist shareholder who may not be around six months after the spin," Cornell says.
And the popularity of spin-offs as an investment only helps Cornell's firm. "Last year more than 40 spin-offs. That turns into 80 companies. That is a lot of work if you don't have five analysts just dedicated to spin-offs. We have no other products, we don't manage money. We are one-trick ponies," he says.
Some of the best recommendations over the years have come from complex spin-offs. Cornell explains that the 3Com spin-off of Palm, where it only offered 5% of Palm was such a case. The valuation was so outrageous it valued Palm greater than 3Com despite 3 Com still holding 95% of Palm shares. Cornell recommended buying 3Com and shorting Palm after the initial offering. Clients who put on the spread (long 3Com and short Palm) are still paying for his service on profits from that trade.
spin-off and has been phenomenal,' he says.
While Cornell prefers to wait for announcements, there are a couple of rumored spin-offs that are intriguing.
Follow Joe Cornell's spin-off commentary each month in Modern Trader.
Diversified companies continue to look at spin-offs as a way to unlock value for investors. Seven new spin-offs were announced in May (see "May spinners"). Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE), the business services arm of the former tech giant, was the latest high profile company to say it's spinning off a unit as a way to make itself more valuable.
outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index by six percentage points in the first two years after being spun from their parent, according to Goldman Sachs. The Bloomberg Spin-Off Index has beaten the S&P 500 handily for a decade (see "Spinners win"). The index tracks, for three years, spin-offs with a market value above $1 billion. The Bloomberg U.S. Spin-Off Index is up 7.75% through the first five months of 2016, more than double the 3.57% return of the S&P 500. We continue to believe that the spin space will provide lucrative investment opportunities.
Some companies are looking again to spinoffs as a way to unlock value for investors — but it's been a tough sell.
Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE), the business services arm of the former technology giant, last week was the latest big company to say it's spinning off a piece of a business as a way to make itself more valuable. Medical device maker Varian Medical (VAR) also last week announced plans to spin off its imaging business to a stand-alone public company.
The number of companies making this move has dropped, with 13 companies in the Standard & Poor's 1500 index announcing spinoffs so far this year, well off the pace of 58 that took place in all of 2015, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Earlier this year, Honeywell (HON), Hilton Worldwide (HLT) and Xerox (XRX) all announced spinoffs, says Spin-Off Research.
Shares of spun-off companies hit a rough patch the past year. The S&P Guggenheim Spin-Off exchange-traded fund, which tracks these stocks, is down 17% the past 12 months, much worse than the S&P 500's 0.6% decline.
But there's been a bit of a change of heart this year. Shares of HPE soared 11% to $18.05 following the news last week of its enterprise service spinoff and plans to merge that business with Computer Sciences Corp (CSC). "The strategic combination of HPE and CSC will proffer benefits to both IT giants, with the new company gaining from scale, technological proficiency, versatility, and skilled management," according to a report from Spin-Off Research to clients. Beyond just HPE, spinoff shares have been at least keeping up with the market so far this year as the S&P Guggenheim Spin-Off ETF is up 4%, roughly in line with the rest of the S&P 500.
Spinoffs have had a difficult time since the big boom of these maneuvers in 2014 and 2015, says Joe Cornell, publisher of Spin-Off Research. Back then, many energy companies jettisoned parts of their businesses as oil prices went into freefall — and many of those energy spinoffs have performed poorly.
But while the spinoff market has been difficult lately for investors, they are still a good long-term play for investors, Cornell says. Spinoff companies can focus resources on a specific niche and can tie the compensation of executives to their performance, not to that of a larger organization. Over the past 10 years, the Bloomberg Spin-Off index has returned 174%, compared with the 77.8% return of the S&P 500.
The pace of spinoffs among Standard & Poor's 1500 companies so far this year lags behind that of last year.
Stock Opportunity: Corporate spin-offs with strong growth potential, we hear from Joseph W. Cornell, CFA. A spin-off occurs when a company creates a new company by selling stock in one of its businesses to the public. Over the past 10 years, the Bloomberg US Spun-Off Companies index has returned 174%, compared with the S&P 500's 77.8% return. Attractive spin-offs now: Barnes & Noble Education (BNED). the college-bookstore operator spun off from the retail bookstore giant last year...The Madison Square Garden Co. (MSG), which was separated last year from MSG Networks.

Man arrested for letting 7-year-old son drive his vehicle in Murang'a
By Ian Omondi For Citizen Digital Published on: June 14, 2021 07:49 (EAT)
Police in Gatanga, Murang'a County, have arrested a man after his 7-year-old son was captured in a video driving his vehicle.
Ayub Kinyanjui Muigai was arrested by officers from Kirwara Police Station alongside sleuths from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) after the clip went viral.
He is set to be arraigned in court on Tuesday to answer to the offence of permitting a person who is not a holder of a valid driving license to drive a vehicle.
The boy, in the video, is approached and greeted by a man who asks him if he is really the driver of the car, as he is be seen in the driver's seat, to which he responds with "Yes."
The man then proceeds to tell him to prove it and the boy drives a few metres ahead, to the man's amusement.
