Teaching Little Miracles
Thanks for the idea! Sounds like something I'll have to try out. Oh, and I've nominated your blog for an award :) Check out mine for more information. Great job!ReplyDelete
I just bought the packet on Educents, and am impressed at your work! Thank you for creating this so we can do brain math in my classroom. : )ReplyDelete
I'm so glad I came across your post! I've been looking for a new way to help my students master their math facts! Thank you so much for sharing!ReplyDelete
We build ice cream cones, they get a new scoop/color ice cream when they master that factor. Then, we have a big ice cream party once the whole class has achieved success! If they master through 10s they get a ticket to the party, through 11 they get whip cream and through 12 sprinkles/a cherry. I am doing the ice cream scoops less visable this year, to not intimidate or embarrass anyone (i teach 5th grade,) so they are keeping them in their personal folders, BUT I still think this will be motivation enough! I got this idea and adopted strategies from Laura Candler's books/blog :o)ReplyDelete

For the past couple years, the Roosevelt Hotel on East 45th Street in NYC has hosted the Discover Blue NY expo. It's a rather intimate event with about twenty or less exhibitors. This year there were 17 exhibitors demonstrating their Bluetooth enabled creations. Don't let the small size of this one-room event mislead your opinions as some formidable companies attend and exhibit, the likes of Texas Instruments, STMicro, GE Appliances, and Wilson Sports Equipment, to name a few.
Although many of the products on display target consumers, they all are unique in that they conquer some of the challenges associated with Bluetooth wireless, such as effective working distances, latencies in activation, power consumption, and, as always, space constraints. Products were available for the home, the car, the office, the Bluetooth developer, and for the artistic muse, or soul if you prefer. Here's what we saw.
Security And Safety On The Tip Of A Finger
BeON Home demonstrated a key fob accessory for its home protection system that makes protection activation even simpler and more intuitive. The key fob allows users of all ages to instantly activate the BeON system without the need for a smart phone or tablet.
The device has two buttons: one for quick activation of "Away Mode", which activates the preventative security features of the system and one for "Welcome Home", which turns on lights in the home upon arrival and takes the system out of security mode and into home safety mode. Learn more about the fob and the system at http://beonhome.com
Bluetooth Router Provides Versatile Control
A clever multi-tasker, the Cassia Hub is described as the world's first Bluetooth router that uses a new technology to redefine what's possible with Bluetooth. For example, with the hub you can stay connected with a Bluetooth speaker even if you move your phone into another room.
Capable of networking and controlling up to 22 Bluetooth devices, the router extends the range of Bluetooth communications to 1,000 feet open space, reportedly more than 30 times the standard operating range. For more details, visit http://www.cassianetworks.com
Frames And App Make Parking Safer and Easier
Easy to install and use, the FenSens device is designed for the everyday driver, allowing them to retrofit backup sensors on any car in less than five minutes with only a screwdriver. The license plate frame, with embedded ultrasonic sensors, detects objects in the driver's blind spots and notifies them via audio, visual, and vibration alerts on their smartphone. No wiring or professional installation is needed.
After the Bluetooth-enabled smart license plate frame is installed via four security screws (to prevent theft), an Android mobile application will automatically launch when the user starts backing up. Watch a short VIDEO DEMO. For pricing and other info, go to https://www.fensens.com
Bluetooth Speaker Withstands Ocean Splashes
JLab Audio's Crasher XL Bluetooth speaker delivers 30W of clear, powerful audio via one high-fidelity neodymium driver, two low-fidelity drivers, and two passive subwoofers. Designed for any outdoor activity, its IPX6 splash-proof rating means it can endure pool or ocean splashes, party fouls, and a rinse off under running water.
Weighing a little over one-half pound, its durable metal body will help protect against damage from accidental drops. Other features include a 13-hour battery life (5200 mAh / Charge time: 6 hours) and Bluetooth 4.0 with a 30-foot range. For more information, visit http://www.jlabaudio.com
Bluetooth Football Scores A Touchdown
The Wilson X Connected Football puts a new spin on the concept of a forward pass. Designed to bring professional-football fans closer to the game, it employs a tiny, undetectable sensor embedded in the football. The sensor, which connects via Bluetooth to the Wilson X Connected Football app on any mobile device, tracks throw distance, velocity, spiral efficiency, spin rate, and if the football was caught or dropped.
Players also receive their very own quarterback ranking score. Once in the app, users can create their own male or female NFL quarterback avatar, selecting from any of the League's 32 teams. More details are available at http://www.wilson.com
LED Lighting System Enlists Bluetooth For Efficient And Reliable Control
SMARTMESH, the latest LED lighting system for the smart home from French designer and manufacturer Smart & Green, employs groundbreaking Bluetooth technology that enables its LED lights to talk to each other. The combination of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and mesh functionality allows users to command an almost limitless number of products, whether one-by-one or in a group and close by or at a distance.
By sending a signal to one light, others can then be controlled. This means users can manage lights all over the house (including outdoors) or a public venue. Brightness can be increased or decreased and settings can be programmed in advance from a smartphone. Additionally, BLE technology increases the battery life of Smart & Green cordless lighting products, which means reduced consumption and a low energy environment.

Learning Guitar Gets Even Easier With Bluetooth Connectivity
The Fretlight guitar learning system has been around for a while and is now wireless thanks to a Bluetooth interface. The system consists of a Fretlight guitar, a PC or smartphone, and an app. The guitar has LEDs implanted all over the fretboard that light when triggered by the app to show the user where to place his or her fingers on the strings. The app can be used on either a smartphone or a PC.
FG-621 Electric Guitar
FG-629 Wireless Acoustic
The wireless Bluetooth interface eliminates the standard guitar cable, freeing the user to play and learn anywhere. There are two guitars types available: the FG-621 Electric Guitar that features a stratocaster-style alder body with a Stratabond birch neck and the FG-629 Wireless Acoustic with a spruce top and a full-size concert style body with light walnut back and sides. Learn more at https://fretlight.com/pages/fretlight-wireless-guitars
It looks like Bluetooth is going strong and getting into more designs and providing a reliable interface for many wireless sensor applications. It will be interesting to see what's happening at Discover Blue NY 2017. ~MD

Another volley in Rx probe
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa continues his investigation into doctors who prescribe large numbers of drugs — a move sparked by a Miami psychiatrist.
October 21, 2010
Based on the huge numbers of prescriptions written by a Miami psychiatrist, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, is continuing to pressure federal officials to investigate why some doctors write stunning numbers of scripts for tax-funded Medicare and Medicaid programs.
In his latest volley, a letter sent Wednesday to Kathleen Sebelius, secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Grassley demanded exact answers to three pointed questions about what her department is doing to address the problem.
\"The federal government has an obligation to figure out what\'s going on here,\'\' Grassley said in a statement e-mailed to The Miami Herald Wednesday. \"The taxpayers are footing the bill, and Medicare and Medicaid are already strained to the limit. These programs can\'t spare a dollar for prescription drugs that aren\'t properly prescribed. The conclusion might be that there isn\'t any fraud, but it\'s important to reach a conclusion one way or the other and fix whatever is broken.\'\'
In the Sebelius letter, Grassley said his concern was triggered by a \"Florida provider who wrote 96,685 prescriptions for mental health drugs in a 21-month period.\'\' The letter did not identify the provider, but state records confirm that it is Fernando Mendez-Villamil, a psychiatrist with an office on Coral Way.
State Medicaid records independently obtained by The Herald show that over a two-year period Mendez-Villamil wrote almost twice as many prescriptions for mental health drugs as the No. 2 Medicaid prescriber in the state.
Robert N. Pelier, attorney for Mendez-Villamil, said Wednesday he and his client learned about the letter only after receiving a call from The Miami Herald. He said the psychiatrist tried to reach Grassley\'s office when his prescription numbers were made public to give the proper context to the doctor\'s prescription patterns and \"why he is an intricate part in the community.\'\' Pelier said he had not received a response from Grassley.
\"What my client believes is that he\'s been a victim of this healthcare debate,\'\' the attorney said. "The majority of his prescriptions are expensive because they\'re cutting-edge pharmaceuticals.\'\'
Pelier said Mendez-Villamil has been recently terminated from the Medicaid program and is now seeing some patients for free. "We are pursuing legal action against AHCA [Agency for Health Care Administration] for the improper termination of doctor Mendez-Villamil from Medicaid,\'\' he said. The suit was filed in July.
Meanwhile Ryan Wiggins, spokesman for the Florida Office of the Attorney General, confirmed there is an ongoing investigation into Mendez-Villamil that involves \"complicated issues of medical necessity. . . . We cannot comment further at this time.\'\'
Last December, Grassley\'s office calculated Mendez-Villamil\'s numbers meant \"this physician wrote approximately 153 prescriptions each and every day, assuming he did not take vacations.\'\'
Earlier this year, Mendez-Villamil told The Herald that he works long hours and often gives each patient four or five prescriptions, accounting for the large numbers.
In April, Grassley wrote to all state Medicaid agencies requesting data about certain mental health drugs. On Wednesday, Grassley\'s office said the Florida provider identified by The Herald as Mendez-Villamil had the second-highest number of prescriptions in the nation for the generic form of Xanax in the data they analyzed.
The Wednesday letter also noted that the top Zyprexa provider in Florida wrote 1,356 prescriptions for 309 individuals in 2008 and 1,238 for 236 in 2009. The Herald independently verified from state data that this provider was Mendez-Villamil, and he wrote more than twice as many Zyprexa prescriptions as the No. 2 provider in the state.
\"I want to be clear that none of the information provided suggests any illegal or wrongful behavior,\'\' Grassley wrote. But such huge numbers "might also suggest overutilization or even healthcare fraud. The only way to determine veracity is through appropriate oversight by [Health and Human Services] and continued monitoring by the Congress and the [Senate Finance] committee.\'\'

Associated Press
LANSING (AP) - State legislators stalled an attempt Tuesday to repeal a statute that regulates carrying marijuana inside cars.
The Michigan Senate voted 19-16 against the House bill. The legislation would have annulled a law classifying vehicle transportation or possession of marijuana as a misdemeanor, unless it's enclosed in a case in the trunk, or in a case not readily accessible from the vehicle's interior if there's no trunk.
Bill supporters said a recent Michigan Court of Appeals case rendered the provision moot. The higher court ruled in 2016 that medical marijuana patients in compliance with the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act cannot be prosecuted for violating the conflicting statute on transporting marijuana. Those without a medical card are already prohibited from possessing the substance in any scenario.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Peter Lucido, said as a veteran lawyer, the rejection of the measure Tuesday was a shock.
"It's a no-brainer," the Shelby Township Republican said. "If we don't repeal a statute that's unconstitutional, what in the hell am I doing here?"
The bill passed the House with a near-unanimous vote in October. Among its supporters was the Michigan State Police.
But Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof, a Republican from West Olive, said his chamber rebuffed the legislation due to unease over its repeal of requiring the substance to be locked away from the driver's reach.
"It could be openly carried, almost like an open receptacle," he said about the proposed changes. "Our caucus didn't feel like that was quite the right way to go."
The bill's opponents also said that instead of repealing an existing provision, the state should amend it by codifying updated law on driving with marijuana into the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act. Skeptics also said that vehicle transportation of alcohol has always been restricted to unopened containers inside trunks, and marijuana should likewise be hidden from easy access.
State Sen. Rick Jones, a Grand Ledge Republican, said he was blindsided by Tuesday's nixing. Jones said under this proposed repeal, Michigan would have maintained its "zero tolerance" for driving under the influence, a hard line that applies to medical marijuana patients as well.
"I had no idea there was a problem and for some reason people didn't want to vote for it," he said. "Maybe because it had the marijuana name attached to it."
The bill could be reconsidered later in the Senate.
Lucido said the bill's intention was to maintain consistency with a higher court that effectively repealed the current law. The senators who struck down the bill did not have complete knowledge of the statute or ruling, he said.
"Had they known that information, I believe that the reconsideration now is a no-brainer," Lucido said.

Merthyr Tydfil v Weymouth (Dr Marten's Premier League, tonight 7.45pm) WITH the threat of relegation looming, Merthyr Tydfil must win six of their last nine matches to stand any chance of playing Dr Martens Premier Division football next season.
A tall order by any standard, but that's the kind of run the Martyrs need. And judging from the last two performances against tabletoppers Tamworth and fellow strugglers Bath City, you shouldn't write off the Penydarren Park club off just yet.
Manager Leroy Rosenior is in good heart, saying: "After the two excellent displays recently there is a self-belief in the theplayers that we can do it.
"The fans have got behind the lads and that helps as well. They have been superb.
Now we must continue the performance-level we have shown, and nothing lower than that will do."
The influential Adrian Needs is likely to return to the starting line-up after a three match suspension, but Nicky Banger has returned to the Football League, having signed for Torquay United.
"I promised Nicky that if a Football League club came in for him he would go with my blessing. After all, he was doing me a favour just filling in for us while waiting to return to the Football League," added Rosenior.
The Martyrs have five of the nine remaining matches at home.

In the meantime, luch with Titus Hjelm and his lovely family, chats with Jeff Kripal and drunken evenings and family daytimes with Venetia Robertson, Chris Cotter and the Aryan Nation (AKA Ted and Rex, AKA the world's worst Indigos).

Find a Job You Really Want In
To get started, tell us where you'd like to work.
Sorry, we can't find that. Please try a different city or state.
"Why are you interested in this position?" can be a deceptively tough question to answer if you haven't given it the proper level of thought and preparation.
It's easy to get so caught up in worrying about making a good first impression that you start talking about the one thing you know the most about — yourself. But while your personality and your interests are part of the answer, they're not all of it, and focusing too much on the ways that the job might benefit you can leave your hiring manager with a sour taste in their mouth.
Loudly slurping cold press coffee and remaining on the phone during the majority of your interview is also not highly recommended.
Like many job interview questions, this is a bit of a trap, but it's not as bad as some — for example, the question "why are you looking for a new job" is absolutely a trap, and one that job seekers fall into every day.
But even so, "why are you interested in this position" is a question that cannot be approached blindly. It takes some significant forethought about who you are and what kind of company you're applying to, especially when it comes to the projects this company is actively working on or the corporate culture you'd be entering.
You see, the main trick to this question isn't to talk about yourself as an attractive job candidate — it's to frame your experience within the context of an existing company. You have to paint a picture of yourself not as the ideal employee for this type of position, but as the ideal person for this particular position in this particular company. It's much more a matter of compatibility than it is your own interests, and that compatibility can be demonstrated to a hiring manager in 3 major ways:
Does the company provide work laptops? Are these work laptops too small for your gigantic Hulk-like muscle hands? These are but a few things you should research ahead of time.
More broadly, these steps can be characterized according to certain levels — namely, the Personal, Community, and Organizational levels. Let's go through each these items in a little more detail, one by one.
Talking about yourself and your skills is an obvious first step when it comes to answering the question "why are you interested in this position?" It gives a hiring manager the necessary context to understand the things you've already told them in your resume by removing the context of you as a random, unattached 3rd party and reframing yourself as a new employee.
So what skills make you who you are? What experiences have defined your previous work experiences and shaped you as a job worker? For this first part, you're answering an unspoken question that's rolled into pretty much every job interview question — namely, "Who are you, really?" and "Why should I care about you?"
"Sometimes when I get bored of sitting at a desk too long, I pull the fire alarm. Just to see what happens. This innate curiosity is but a small piece of what makes me an excellent worker."
This is where you connect with your hiring manager on a personal level. What are some relevant non-work related interests? How do you act as a person within the context of your job?
One thing that might help you establish yourself a little more in this regard is to think about yourself in terms of a concept that's becoming more and more popular in tech circles especially — what is your "personal brand"? Think about it like this: how is it that you present yourself to the outside world, especially in a professional context?
Are you a fixer? Do you get things done in a timely manner, no questions asked? Are you more of an architect, planning out all your moves well in advance and then making them all at once? Or are you more comfortable in a supportive role, facilitating the work of others in a quiet, effacing way without stepping much into the limelight yourself?
Much of this will depend on the roles you've performed in the past and the role you're applying for in the present. How do the roles you're comfortable with filling fit into a larger team? What do you know about the specific team you're entering into, and how do you plan to work toward meshing with them specifically?
For instance, a teammate might find it funny to send everyone in the office a different poorly drawn bird every day. How will you prevent yourself from physically injuring this teammate? Your answer may be recorded for training purposes.
The Community Level is an important part of your answer to incorporate, especially since one of the easiest mistakes to make is to spend too much time on the Personal Level. Doing so will eventually have you talking purely to a hiring manager about what kind of benefits a new job will bring to you, without mentioning what you'll be bringing to the company.
It's good to consider certain company perks when deciding to take a job, but while you're applying for it, you should do your best to avoid sounding too "me, me, me." Hiring managers are on the lookout for someone who is, if not entirely selfless, then is at least aware of the context that they're entering into — unless a company is brand new, there's almost certainly an existing team in place, and one of the most important things you have to do in a job interview is to show that you can appreciate this idea.
We're going to zoom out one step further for our final section of your answer, the Organizational Level. After talking about yourself and defining your understanding of your role within your team (as well as why this particular role is of interest to you), then you have only one thing left to address.
You see, while you'll be working with a specific team on a regular basis, that team itself operates in a larger role within the company at large — therefore, the last thing you need to do is show that not only do you understand your team's role but that you understand (and are interested in) the company itself.
There are many ways to do this, but one of the easiest is to just speak honestly about the parts of the company that caught your eye. Does the company work with nonprofits that you think are worthy causes? Does the company's product directly address a larger problem that's of interest to you? Is the company's organizational structure itself interesting to you, or does the CEO strike you as a person with a vision?
"On the white board behind me, you'll see all the details about your company I find more interesting and exciting than the substantial pay bump I'll receive upon being hired."
Whatever you do here, remember once again to avoid the parts of the company that make you sound greedy or self-centered. This is not the time to talk about how much you love the company's vacation policy, or how the office is located just a few minutes away from where you live. You've already talked about yourself — here is where you begin to focus on external factors.
So now that we've talked about the three major parts of this answer, it's important to note one final thing. Your answer itself probably won't be neatly segmented into these three sections — and honestly, it probably shouldn't be.
Odds are good that you're going to be interrupted, or you'll forget part of what you were going to say, or you might end up going off-track into something that's of interest to you or your interviewer. If so, that's okay. An interview is a conversation, and conversations are messy.
This guide isn't meant to help you meticulously plan out your 3-part answer — it's to gently remind you that whatever you say needs to show certain things about you to a hiring manager and that there are multiple ways that this can be accomplished. You don't have to focus on only one level at a time, and in fact, it's quite likely that your answer will address some or all of these levels at the same time.
Let that happen — bring up specific stories and examples to back up some of the things you're saying about yourself, and if you find yourself getting too far away from the question, loop it back around to the company. And if you find that the manager is moving on and you don't feel as though you've addressed all three of these points, think about how you can work in some more of this information as you move along through the interview.
After all, your success in a job interview isn't dependent on one specific question — it's on making yourself memorable on average, over time, across all the questions you're asked. It's about making conversation with your interviewer, being prepared, and being insightful.
And whatever you do, if anyone starts passing around pictures of their dumb families, be sure to compliment them and then whip out any pictures you can find of a baby that's somehow related to you. That's the only off-ramp to that particular conversational highway.
In short, it's about showing exactly why you're a good job candidate in as distinct and compacted way as you can manage.
And whatever you do, try not to talk about how you "work best alone." Odds are they'll agree with you, and let you continue working alone — alone and unaffiliated with their company, that is.

"The positive effects of carbohydrates on cognition have been well-established by previous research, but this is the first study to show that pure dietary protein and fat also improve memory," says lead author Randall Kaplan, a PhD candidate in the University of Toronto's Department of Nutritional Sciences and a researcher at the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care. Until now, scientists believed that increases in blood glucose levels explained the beneficial impact of carbohydrates on memory in elderly people. In the present study, however, people performed better on memory tests after consuming carbohydrate, fat and protein drinks of equal calories compared to a placebo with no food energy, regardless of the drinks' effects on blood glucose levels.
The positive results occurred in verbal recall tests administered 15 minutes after the participants -- 11 males and 11 females, aged 61 to 79 -- consumed each type of drink. "The fact that memory was enhanced soon after the ingestion of energy from any macronutrient may be explained from an evolutionary perspective," Kaplan says. "A mechanism that would allow an animal to remember the details of a successful hunt for food would clearly be beneficial for survival."
Other memory tests involving attention and non-verbal tasks showed variable effects, he says, suggesting that specific types of food energy enhance specific aspects of brain function. Further research is necessary to unravel the unique connections between each nutrient and brain region involved in memory. "The proportion of North Americans with cognitive impairments is increasing as the population ages, so it's important to understand environmental factors such as nutrition that may help to prevent or reduce these deficits," he says.
The research was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Singer-songwriter Greg Trooper's latest is a mix of folksy soul with a touch of country. The soul influence is in evidence right out of the gate with the opening Nobody In The Whole Wide World as well as Dreams Like This and Bulletproof Heart on which Trooper's vocals are reminiscent of the bluesy soul of John Hiatt.
The twangy Might Be A Train references Jimmie Rodgers and has a bit of a Johnny Cash shuffle feel, while We've Still Got Time, Second Wind and Could Have Been You are effective country ballads.
Among the stronger tracks is They Call Me Hank, a folk ballad that tells the tale of a homeless drifter ("They call me Hank/ I live by the river/ I fish for whatever I can sell") who has worn out his welcome at all but one bar in town. Another standout is Just One Hand, in which the singer reflects on a relationship gone bad ("Sometimes you'd shove me out/ I could scream and shout/ You'd not hear me").
Despite references to lost love and kids being raised by another man, the album closes on something of a positive note with Everything Will Be Just Fine ("Trying to find a song/ Trying to find a perfect rhyme/ One that could turn the world upside down/ But I'd settle for smile from one lonely frown").
With strong tunes, solid performances and stellar musicianship throughout from Kevin McKendree (keyboards, guitar), Kenneth Blevins (drums) and David Jacques (bass) this is a thoroughly satisfying collection.

HEIC Converter is free macOS app to quickly batch convert HEIC images to JPEG or PNG. It's very fast and can convert 100 images in 6 seconds. Requires macOS 10.13
HEIC is Apple's new default image format in iOS 11 replacing JPEG. HEIC uses more advanced and modern compression methods to achieve much smaller file sizes with the same visual quality.
Would you recommend this product?
5 Reviews
This was my weekend project some weekends ago. I made it so I can have HEIC images on my Mac and quickly convert them to JPEG or PNG when I need to use them on the web or send them to non-Apple devices. HEIC Converter is my 4th macOS app this year. Previous ones are Battery Indicator, Touch Bar Simulator, and Lungo. I started learning macOS app development and Swift at the beginning of the year. My goal is to do 6 macOS apps in 2017 to get better at Swift and learn to ship. I plan to do a beta launch of my 6th app, Shareful, very soon. If you don't have any HEIC images, you can try the app out with this one. I'm currently working on making it work the other way around too, so you can convert JPEG or PNG images to HEIC.

I was using iMazing Heic Converter. After this post I made a simple test. iMazing converts 50 images in 1:25 minutes and your app converts the same 50 images in just 5 seconds. It's super fast. I like simple and fast apps. Feature request: It'd be awesome if we can change the output image quality.
@ozgrozer @sindresorhus how does it achieve that speed? Is it related to compression ratios?
@ozgrozer @chrismessina Nothing to do with compression ratios. It just makes optimal use of all your CPU cores.

@sindresorhus It's much better now.
Great app! Could you elaborate more on how did you solve the sandboxing part? Something I've been struggling a lot.
Upvote (1)Share
@bardonadam I didn't really solve it. I just worked around it. Initially, I wanted the converted images to be placed in the source directory without a prompt, for ease of use, unless changed in the Preferences. This worked fine then as I hadn't turned on sandboxing yet. But with sandboxing this posed a problem as you don't get permission to write to a directory if the user drags/opens images from that directory. There's really no permission for the use-case of being able to write to directories of dragged/opened files. You could prompt the first time and then save something called a security-scoped bookmark, which lets you persist permissions between app runs, but you would still have to prompt for each new directory. So sandboxing is not very friendly to this kind of drag-n-drop converter app. Instead, I just went with prompting the output directory each time. The sandboxing functionality on macOS is very limiting and developer-hostile and I will think hard before bothering next time.
Upvote (5)Share
@sindresorhus Thank you! I agree, because of sandboxing, I've started to look around for other ways to distribute the app. But this is not easy either. Basically, I have app which I thought was "ready to launch", but stuff like licensing, delivery of updates, etc. got me stuck.
@bardonadam I'm using DevMate for my next app. It includes hosting, updates, crash reporting, and licensing.
@sindresorhus Yes, I've tried DevMate as well, not the best experience...
@sindresorhus how's it going with DevMate?
The opposite would be perfect for massive mobile websites/apps optimisation haha (outside the command line)
With the HEIC converter you do not have to worry about compatibility with your computer system or older software. Converting HEIF (.heic) images to JPEG format at one time is easy. You can also keep Exif data during the conversion process. The quality of the image is not affected. https://www.fonecope.com/best-he...

Life has been in a state of flux for some time now, but I believe I can start to settle in to the new normal. Most projects have been on hold due to excess obligation in the stuff I get paid for. I guess there are worse things.
I was browsing around and came across a thing about restoring old wood chisels. This is because I own a set of pretty good chisels that have been variously abused and then neglected. I started on the 1/2" chisel because it's a handy size and one of the most abused ones. "Abused", in this context, refers to a really bad attempt at sharpening. I'll add some pictures in later entries.
Anyway, the rust is not much of an issue when you have a sand blast cabinet so the two main things have been smoothing out the flat back, and recreating the hollow grind at the tip. I spent a bunch of time building a holder that would work on the surface grinder, but sadly, that spins so fast that it's not possible to put enough coolant on it to keep from burning the tip. So I'm stopped while I research solutions.
I decided that I wanted a big, slow wheel much like you'd find at the antique store. Trouble is they think these things are worth something and if you do find one, the odds are good that the stone is cracked. I did find one that I think I can make use of, so that's where that project is.

Waterloo and the Atomium
The battllefield of Waterloo is not really all that! Although the monument is very spectacular and the views from the top are great, the experience at the bottom is not very 'multi-media' and is a bit 1907's.
The Atomium in Brussels was a last minute change to the schedule. We felt that nobody was in the mood for the previously planned tour of the European Parliament and the Atomium would b a bit more fun.

Atlantic Beach Area Information
In 1900 Henry Flagler built the Mayport branch of the railroad and erected a station north of where the Adele Grage Cultural Center is currently located. Soon afterwords Flagler built a large hotel called the Continental Hotel on the railroad line between Pablo Beach (Jacksonville Beach) and Mayport. The hotel was a summer resort with 250 guest rooms. There was also a dance pavilion, tennis courts and a fishing pier. In 1913 the railroad sold most of the land to the Atlantic Beach Corporation which then began paving streets, installing lights, and water and sewer lines. In that same year the Continental Hotel changed its name to the Atlantic Beach Hotel. However, during World War I people were afraid to come to the coast and the Atlantic Beach Corporation went bankrupt. To make matters worse the Atlantic Beach Hotel burned down on September 20, 1919. After the war land began to sell again and settlement grew. The Town of Atlantic Beach was incorporated in 1926 and the first charter was adopted in 1929. The first town hall burned down in 1932 and a new one was built in 1932. The newly established Mayport Naval Station and the construction of the Mathews Bridge led to further development of the town. The boundaries of Atlantic Beach were extended in 1987 with the annexation of Seminole Beach and again in 1996 by extending the westerly boundary to the Intracoastal Waterway.

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) revealed through a regulatory filing this week that it faces a civil and criminal investigation into whether it sold shoddy mortgage-back securities in the run-up to the financial crisis, Dealbook reports.
Add it to the list.
Also this week we learned the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission sued Bank of America (BAC), accusing BAC of defrauding investors in a 2008 deal for $850 million in mortgage-backed securities.
Related: Suddenly, Things Are Going "Terribly Wrong" for the Big Banks
And we are fresh from a jury verdict holding former Goldman Sachs vice president Fabrice Tourre liable for fraud in a case brought by the SEC over, again, a complex MBS (mortgage-back securities) deal.
Related: New Regulatory Environment Hurting Housing, Jobs & Bank Profits
Attorney General Eric Holder in a statement said the BAC filing represents the DOJ's "ongoing efforts to hold accountable those who engage in fraudulent or irresponsible conduct."
So do these examples show authorities and regulators are really taking action against Wall Street and holding it accountable for its misdeeds?
Not according to Janet Tavakoli, president and founder of Tavakoli Structured Finance, a consulting and expert witness services firm for derivatives.
"The statute of limitations is running out on a lot of these lawsuits, so now we're seeing the tail end of it," Tavakoli tells The Daily Ticker (in other words – we won't see many more). "If you look at what the investment banks have been making, have been like – the best investment ever has been investing in campaign contributions."
Check out the accompanying video to see Tavakoli's case for why (she uses JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon to illustrate her point).
For reference, JPM contributed more than $5 million to candidates in the 2012 cycle according to the Center for Responsive Politics, ranking 46 out of more than 21-thousand organizations.
As for the actions we are seeing against financial firms and individuals, Tavakoli says they do matter, but in the case of Fabrice Tourre she asks ironically, "so we caught the mastermind who acted solely on his own and caused the financial crisis and was the only malefactor at Goldman Sachs (GS)?"
Related: Big Banks Still Write the Rules: Fmr. Inspector General of Bank Bailout
Tavakoli says if you believe that, she has a number of other examples of questionable financial products that should have been avoided at all costs (and regulated). In short, Tavakoli argues so much more should have been investigated.

SILVER APPLES « Contact » ROTOR0056 CD
« Contact » is the second album of the 60's NY duo SILVER APPLES, remastered and boosted with the texture and feeling of 1969 original.
The 1969 follow up to Silver Apple's debut found the duo digging into the far reaches of their songwriting psyches for a darker and more emotionally charged set of songs. While the debut set the stage for a sound the world had never heard before, Contact is where the Silver Apples began inhabiting that sound with more urgency and experimentation.

Johnathan Esper is a widely-traveled international photography workshop leader and full time photographer of outdoor landscapes, adventures, and wilderness areas. With over 50+ successful photography workshops and tours over the past 6 years, Johnathan Esper is highly experienced and passionate about helping other photographers discover, appreciate, and intentionally capture great landscapes and light. Johnathan is a self-taught photographer hailing from the Adirondack Mountains (USA), and his photography business is currently focused on Icelandic, Adirondack, and more worldwide destinations. In all these areas, Johnathan Esper specializes in classic landscape photography, wilderness adventure photography, high resolution panoramas, and aurora borealis photography of the night sky.
Johnathan has backpacked, hiked, skied, photographed, mountaineered, and travelled for years through some of our world's great wilderness landscapes and mountain regions including the USA, Patagonia, New Zealand, Iceland, Tasmania, Scandinavia, Alaska, Greenland, and the Andes, Rockies, and Himalaya mountain ranges. He has cumulatively camped or slept under the stars for years during all his travels and photography, which has has helped Johnathan develop such a fierce love for the outdoors. In fact, Johnathan's original decision to pursue photography professionally arose from his heritage of appreciating landscapes worldwide throughout his whole life. Even his middle name of Ampersand is named after a local mountain.
He is currently involved in a long-term project of photographing panoramas from the tops of trees he ascends via ropes, for new and unique views over the Adirondack forested hills, his native home. Johnathan is published frequently worldwide in magazines such as National Geographic Traveler, Climbing, Backpacker, Adirondac, and Wilderness Magazines, and in the Adirondack region's premiere magazines, especially Adirondack Life, where he also shoots on assignment, and in many other publications for commercial and governmental clients worldwide. Johnathan's adventure stock imagery is represented by Aurora Photos agency and Getty Images. Fine art prints of his photography are enjoyed by hundreds of collectors worldwide. In addition to independently-led photo tours and workshops, Johnathan is also very active in collaborating on workshops with top names in the area, including Iurie Belegurschi Photography, Arctic Photo, and the Adirondack Photography Institute.
Artistic Statement: My passion in life is to explore and photograph our world's wilderness areas. I love adventuring in wilderness landscapes, combining my love for photography, traveling, adventure, the mountains, and seldom-visited places with my desire to remember and share the unique sights I see with others, hoping to create appreciation and respect for these wilderness areas. Photography also helps me to slow down in my wanderings and notice the details and wonder at the beauty that nature exhibits every day, all over the world, whether anyone is there to witness it or not. A main goal in my photography workshops I lead is to help photographers become engaged and intentional in their photography, and through acting as both coach and cheerleader I help my clients experience places and memories they would not otherwise have the privilege of knowing.

But I won't let anything control me, not magic or fear or even a beautiful boy.
I selected House of Ivy and Sorrow because of what can only be called a pretty-ass cover. I love the trend to make titles so prominent, and the fonts so elaborate and pretty. Considering that the book is about a family of witches, the magical feel is apropos.
Josephine is a witch from a long line of witches. Her last name is the completely non-witchy Hemlock. Yeah. Her family for many generations has been targeted with a curse, the origin unknown. Jo's mother died of the curse. There are indications she is next.
There's a standard issue love triangle. This is mandatory in YA with a female protagonist.
But what I like is that the book is chock full of strong, loyal females. Jo's central dilemma is if she will give up her power to one of the boys in the triangle who promises he can then save her, or if she will find another way.
Some of the writing seemed a little elementary, even for YA — I could have handled more complexity — but I did like the scenes with Jo and her friends and Jo and her grandmother. Because of these the ending seemed powerful in a very Buffy/Veronica Mars way.

We are all busy, our plates are so full. So how do you manage your time effectively so you can accomplish important things each day? In this episode I discuss how to identify time leaks you may currently have, and how to reshape your thinking of where your time could be better spent.
The quote of the episode is "Live the life others won't, so you can live the life others can't." Meaning, if you put in the work and do things others won't, like adjust your schedule, spend less time on social media, then you can re-allocate that time to things that truly matter, like your children, your marriage, your career, you hobbies, etc. so you can live a more fulfilling life that others can't.
Hi there friend! I have a free gift for you. Let me know where to send your free printable weekly planner.

The depth of the East Tennessee State men's basketball team is going to come down to some decisions made by the NCAA over the next couple of months.
Jalen Johnson, a graduate transfer from Tennessee, has informed East Tennessee State basketball coach Jason Shay that he won't be playing for the Bucs.
Daivien Williamson is returning to his hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and transferring to Wake Forest, per his Twitter page.
A.J. Merriweather says he felt bad for the East Tennessee State players who didn't get a chance to play in this year's canceled NCAA Tournament. He certainly appreciates what March Madness did for him.
Bo Hodges' time with the East Tennessee State basketball program is officially over.
Getting to 25 wins in a season is a magic number in Shay's contract. That increases his base salary by $15,000 for the following year and automatically extends the deal for an extra year.
The NCAA Council reportedly voted Wednesday to allow athletes in three sports — men's and women's basketball and football — to begin returning to campuses June 1 for voluntary workouts.
A day after he was announced as the choice to replace Steve Forbes, Jason Shay spent several hours doing photo and video shoots. Then he hit the road on the recruiting trail.
Reports surfaced earlier in the day that Shay would be getting the job and ETSU made it official later when Scott Carter, the school's athletic director, made the announcement.
Jason Shay will become the head basketball coach at East Tennessee State, according to a source close to the school.
East Tennessee State basketball fans are anxious to find out who their new basketball coach will be. The university's president is urging them to be patient.
Because ETSU's campus is closed, face-to-face contact with his players was impossible.
East Tennessee State has announced the beginning of a "national" search to replace Steve Forbes as head basketball coach.
Steve Forbes was 130-43 at ETSU. His teams won two Southern Conference tournament championships.
It's official. Steve Forbes' successful tenure as East Tennessee State basketball coach is over.

What was I thinking?
This will be the last piece of the year for the #MMSProject52. Due to degenerative bone disease, I will be having my right thumb joint removed. I had the left one done last April leaving me in casts and/or splints for over 8 months this year.
Frisco Fire Station #6 has this wonderful sculpture in front of this most important building. Not only did the movement of the curves, the cutouts and design move me, but it also has this amazing glass halo that is interesting.

Awesome Toy Collection – ToyBiz Mojo
February 28, 2018 2 Comments
Hi world! It's been a short but busy month of February, and for this month I showcase another Toybiz figure that I have collected as I think he is somewhat compatible with my other 4″ Marvel figures – Marvel's Mojo.
Mojo is an alien slave owner who rules the 'Mojoverse', a dimension where all beings are addicted to Mojo's television programs. Mojo is a frequent enemy of the X-Men, and had on numerous occasions clashed with them. Mojo has often expressed a desire to enslave Earth and the X-Men, and his various encounters with them had often shot his ratings through the roof.
Mojo's likeness in the Marvel cartoons remains generally faithful to his comic book appearance, which is a sick yellow colour grotesque blob of mass supported on an exoskeleton, complete with wires that keep his eyes wide open. The character of Mojo is written as an absurdist parody of TV network executives.
Mojo's exoskeleton has an artificial appendage which operates as an arm or slicer, and it shoots laser. For the figure, there is a button on the back which when pressed brings down the appendage in a slicing motion.
Oh, and you want to see the slicing motion.
The "wild whiping tail action" brings the stinger down to just in front of Mojo's face.
Mojo in his ToyBiz packaging, he seems to have been released in two different styles.
Photos from a Google search.
Mojo is confronted by Longshot, a former slave who has rebelled against him.
Mojo ordered the creation of child clones of the X-Men called the X-Babies so that he can control them in an effort to improve his ratings. The X-Babies themselves eventually rebelled against him anyway. Here, Cykes is about to give Mojo a blast.

For the other months Norwegian Epic is in the Caribbean, running 7- to 11-night itineraries mostly out of the US territory of Puerto Rico. These cruises visit five ports along the east and south of the Caribbean islands. Around April and November annually Norwegian Epic crosses the Atlantic between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean Seas. Crossings are at a very low price, bridge two continents, provide restful sea days, and of course offer many on–board activities. For many Norwegian Epic is the destination.

I'm sure many of us know about the #LifeHacks that have been making their statement across various social medias. If you haven't heard of them, they are unique tips that many websites (including http://1000lifehacks.com/) use to simplify the things in life we don't normally think about. Here are a few examples from 1000 Life Hacks:
They aren't complicated ideas, and they're simply fascinating! There are thousands of entertaining #LifeHacks out there, just waiting for people like you to take advantage of their knowledge. So I took it upon myself to create ten innovative and valuable tips for Jamestown Community College Students like the ones seen above. Naturally, I call them #CollegeHacks.
My #LifeHacks inspired list, #CollegeHacks:
Learning new things that make life a little easier is an enlightening experience. I wish I'd known all of the above #CollegeHacks before I entered JCC my freshman year! However, whether you learn the hard way (like I did) or the easy way, at least we all learn something new in the end. That's what college is all about.
All statistics and information was found on Jamestown Community College's webpage: https://www.sunyjcc.edu/. For even more great #CollegeHacks, check out JCC's College Life Hacks board on Pinterest.

The beautiful spring sun of Australia is on the blog today, with this wedding nestled in a vineyard. Cheryl and Caleb chose the Whispering Brook Winery & Country House as their wedding venue and what a lovely venue it is! Surrounded by vineyards, this made for the perfect ceremony backdrop and great couple shots. Cheryl wore a stunning dress by Grace Loves Lace and Caleb wore a modern navy suit by Rundle Tailoring.
Thank you to Raquelle Loraine Photography for sharing this wedding with us! From Raquelle, "Early this year, Caleb started planning the biggest surprise of Cheryl's life. Typically Caleb isn't great at keeping a secret but this one was important. A well planned weekend started with a trip to the Blue Mountains, these two love the outdoors and nature so naturally, they spent the day trekking through Wentworth Falls and swimming beneath the waterfall.
Once at the perfect lookout, Caleb dropped to one knee and asked Cheryl to be his wife! She said 'YES!'. They then headed on to Sydney where they stayed at an amazing hotel overlooking the harbour bridge and opera house if that was enough Caleb had more surprises, he had secretly bought their favourite wine and chocolates from the Hunter Valley the week prior and they celebrated the night away.
Cheryl and Caleb decided to say 'I do' in an intimate garden setting surrounded by their closest family and friends. Choosing to get married on a sunny spring day should have been a breeze but breezy it was! We were struck with 35km winds that threatened to move the ceremony inside but as the time approached the wind subsided and the ceremony went ahead between the olive trees. What a beautiful day to marry your best friend."
Cake: Snows Patisserie (decorated by bride & family) / Catering: Motty's Farm Cuisine / Celebrant: Helen Hising / Dress: Grace Loves Lace / Flowers: Floral Affects and Event Hire / Hair & Makeup: Gloss Girls / Location: Whispering Brook Winery & Country House, Broke, Hunter Valley / Photography: Raquelle Loraine Photography / Suits: Rundle Tailoring

No Comment leads the WAI?
"We can't comment on that today." ... "We're not announcing this today.".... "One view is that VMware ultimately becomes Lord of all the data centre virtualised resource Rings; one ring to bind them all. Is that Maritz' end game?"
Yes to all three quotes, and the first two quotes are invariably used whenever yes is too bold and revealing to be blatantly shared, would make for an interesting game plan. But there are definitely others with Parallel and even Similar Views and Intentions and to consider them Pretentious, would not worry them a bit, given the Undoubted Stealth and Open Field that such a Mistake/Misunderestimate would Present for Unbridled and UnParalleled Progress.
Silence is Golden indeed.

Introduction: DIY Lavalier Microphone
Hi guys! Today I'm going to teach you guys how to make a lavalier microphone out of household items! You plug this device into your smartphone record your audio as you record your video and then sync it up on your editing software!
Equipment List:
1. Any earphones with a microphone attached to it
2. A hot glue gun
3. Snips
4. A clip or tie clip
5. Scissors
Step 1: Cut the Earbud Off
First take your snips and cut the earbud and cord off on the side without the microphone attached to it.
Step 2: Cut the Second Earbud Off
Next take the earphone cut the earbud off right above the microphone. Do this carefully so you don't damage the mic.
Step 3: What You Should Be Left With
Then you should be left with a microphone attached to a wire with a 3mm headphone jack.
Step 4: Attach the Mic to Your Clip and Explination on How to Use It
Almost done with the project! Lastly take your hot glue gun and put some glue along the microphone. Make sure you do this on the back of the microphone because you don't want the glue to be blocking your microphone. Then take your clip and stick it to the microphone. Hold it till its dry. When it has dried, you have yourself a home made lavalier! To use it, plug your lavalier into your smartphone or a device that you can record audio on. Turn your camera on, record your video. Then put the audio and video file onto your editing software and sync it up. You can just eyeball the sound waves from your video audio and your audio file so that they match up. Afterwards mute the video files audio and there you have it! Thanks for looking at this project!

Surely a real lavalier microphone would be cheaper than a set of EarPods to cut up, and would probably have better sound quality too.
If you're just trying to use the mic, weave the clip around the microphone cord and bend the cord. Now you can still use the speakers :)
Do these headphones not have the mic push buttons that you need to press before you speak on?
Perhaps I'm missing something... did you just snip off the earbuds from a earphone/mic combo cord?
yes. The objective is to make a discreet clip-on style of mic which one can wear under the shirt. The earphones are not necessary for this type of mic, that's why he's clipped them off.

Aetna CEO Embraces Alternative Healthcare
