In familiarizing myself with many worlds, I became more curious about my own.
Long before I boarded an airplane or took my first road trip, the literary adventures of my upbringing brought me to places built for those who hold that venturesome, persevering spirit to see a story to the end. Those places are meant to be believed in — for, at least, a time. For a child, books offer access to lands where they can soar and excavate without adult supervision. Oh, The Places You'll Go! Indeed, Dr. Seuss. The Waiting Place is no place for children; they needn't "wait for a train to go, or a bus to come, or a plane to go / or the mail to come, or the rain to go / or waiting around for a Yes or No." And I sure as heck didn't wait.
The tales I read as a child carried me far. Little as I was, I strode through vast woodlands, sailed through tumultuous seas, and shielded my eyes from the scorch of a safari sun. The double-barreled benefit of imagined destinations allowed me the primary parts of purposeful travel. Firstly, fun. Secondly, a challenge; with every narrative, I had to think about places and people beyond my own life — a practice I relearned as an adult. And in familiarizing myself with many worlds, I became more curious about my own.
I remember tying my shoelaces, pulling my hair back into a ponytail, and joining Jack and Annie in their secret getaway — a shed lined with books upon books and tucked away in a treetop. The magical bit? The books enable us to travel to the past. The missions in Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House are marked by time periods and historical events. Just imagine how many fictional representations of monumental figures we got to meet! The past is a dangerous place to travel to but the siblings, and I, go forth anyway. Curious youngsters like us need to see what all the hoo-ha on history is about. Thus, into destinations like ancient Egypt we go, to assist the monarchy with finding their misplaced Book of the Dead, a manual for navigating the afterlife. Talk about learning outside the classroom, eh?
The titles within this series keeps a keen sense of time and alliteration like no other chapter book series: Mummies in the Morning, Pirates Past Noon, and Tonight on the Titanic to name a few. It is in these stories where I first learn of regions outside North America, such as East Asia and the Middle East. In China, we come up against Qin Shi Huang, the country's unifier and first emperor, and try to salvage at least one text from the burning of books in 213 BCE. Later on, we encounter the Bedouin, a nomadic Arab people, and join a caliph in ancient Baghdad on his campaign for peace. When thrust into feudal Japan, we meet the most famous poet of the Edo period, Matsuo Bashō. Back in America, during our jaunt through the Civil War, we run into the founder of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton. Ah, then there's the quest to save the mythical court of Camelot in Christmas in Camelot — not to worry, Knights of the Round Table; we 20th-century kids have got this under control. With the element of time travel, boys and girls, this is globetrotting at its finest.
Another book from my childhood that led me to imagined destinations was Time Stops for No Mouse by Michael Hoeye. Hermux Tantamoq, a watchmaker and everyday mouse, is tinkering away in his shop when the lovely Ms. Linka Perflinger, an aviatrix, steps in and submits an urgent request that her watch be repaired by the next morning. Smitten, Hermux complies. But when she fails to pick it up the following day and a suspicious rat tries to claim it in her stead, he embarks on a journey to find her and return the watch to its rightful owner. With characters such as the eccentric plastic surgeon Dr. Mennus and fumbling mole journalist Pup Schoonagliffen, I was immediately taken with this sort of adventure and gladly went undercover with Hermux to investigate.
The imagined destinations of my childhood taught me that you can expand your horizons without tickets and an itinerary. They demonstrate a special sort of travel in which the destinations can only be reached by pushing the imagination's frontier. Don't get me wrong, I think conventional travel can be amazing; a physical place and people are always something to behold. But, sometimes, even when we're standing right in front of something spectacular, we still don't see. Looking is not always seeing. The stories we read can help us to see and engage when it comes time to look upon the real thing. Perhaps the avid reader can boast, to some extent, the titles Ms. Linka Perflinger has on her business card:
"Adventuress, Daredevil and Aviatrix"
"Bold feats of nerve and verve,
on land and in the air."

XXI – The Universe / The World
Every journey ends at the beginning like a clockwork but like a resolved knot the own personality has achieved a completely different point of view during the voyage.The symbol of salvation = Tau is achieved through self awareness and experiences made through this journey. The labyrinth symbolizes the path with all its restrictions and obstacles we are walking our way through and the orphic egg in the centre represents the sum of all of these experiences or the whole of our voyage.The symbolic liberator of child can only emerge out of the egg and be born if every possible plot has been lived through and every experience has been made. The evolution or process of growth must be finalized completely and diligent and should not be rushed in any way. This liberator should not be seen as an outside being or force but must be discovered within. For some people this symbol can be better understood in mathematical terms: Every digit of Pi has to be calculated to measure the perfect circle. During this journey or equation the dance of duality (the symbolic goddess who dances with the serpent) still goes on and constantly births the colours, aspects and story lines of life itself. Like in an artistic process every small and thin line which is drawn is exactly as important as the many others and should not be missed or drawn in a hurry. The eye of Shiva or "all seeing eye" in western tradition marks the beginning and the end of every such creation cycle. The opening and closing of the eye would represent the birth of existence and also it's end.Some myths indicate that our existence is just a dream and therefore an illusion in the mind of a conscious creator and when it wakes up our existence would end like a dream (the opening of the eye). In duality there is always the completely different point of view and this other sum of myths which indicate that this conscious creator only makes existence possible while it keeps focus on the cosmic plot. When the eye closes the focus and therefore the plot would disappear. In each of this cases the action of this symbolic eye is relevant to the completion of the cycle. Just refer to your own experience at this point and you'll see both myths are relevant and real for our own cycles, plots ideas and dreams. In my interpretation of the card a vertical and horizontal eye should represent both of these concepts which exclude each other from a logical point of view but are both relevant and true nevertheless.Above you can observe the cosmic mother bearing the universe while below the throne is still unoccupied and the liberator is not crowned till the whole cycle is complete. The serpents dancing around the orphic egg form the two pillars which contain and also restrict all acts, experiences and story lines within comprehensive cycles. So from our point of view there is a beginning and an end. But like a day which contains 24 hours which contains 60 minutes which contain 60 seconds our plots always exist within a greater measurable cycle.The trees refer to the four cherubim, elements and directions we can expand to are connected to each other which is a reference to the fact that all our actions are linked to one another and can't be separated. Each development of a single being is a development for the whole construct we are part of. The constraints of individuality are melting away in this card and form the idea of unity without losing the uniqueness of our own experiences. The reconciliation, cosmic coalition and achieving symbiosis of two opposite angles are the challenges which are represented by this card.

Faculty Advisor
Bertozzi, Nicholas
The purpose of this project was to improve SAE Club membership growth and development by creating and hosting seminars to educate new members about the basics of cars, engineering, and Formula SAE` We aimed to have ample time to introduce a multitude of topics and allow members to gain information from lectures as well as hands-on activities. Each seminar took place for three hours on a Saturday. To gain an understanding how our project was impacting member involvement, we surveyed attendees afterwards with a standardized survey each week. Based upon the survey responses, it was clear that members learned new material and were enthusiastic for the following week's seminars. It was also evident that the seminars had a positive contribution towards helping people get involved with the club.

THE COUNTER REFORMATION. In the sixteenth century the Roman church undertook to reform itself.
This reform movement, extending into the following century, raised the moral and educational standards of the clergy; inspired the church with a renewed zeal and morale, which enabled it to win back areas endangered by Protestantism; and contributed significantly to producing the Catholic church as we know it today. The chief agencies in carrying out this work were the papacy, which was much different from the papacy of the Renaissance; a group of religious orders, some reformed and some new, most notably the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits; and the Council of Trent.
What is the difference between the Catholic Reformation and Counter Reformation. The Counter Reformation is generally seen as the Roman Catholic reaction to the Protestant reformation; primarily via the Council of Trent (From 13 December, 1545, and concluding on 4 December, 1563).
Trent is often referred to as the Counter Reformation Council. From my research there is no one point in history that can be pointed to as the Catholic Reformation. The term Catholic Reformation is problematic in the sense the Catholic Church has been reforming itself since the beginning. Because men are in control of the Church, errors in practice and discipline have crept in at times over the centuries. The Catholic Church has since the beginning held Ecumenical Councils where leaders (bishops and cardinals) met to interpret God's will on faith, and morals. Examples: it was at the 1st Vatican Council(8 December, 1869, through 20 October, 1870) that the Roman Catholic Church declared that the Pope was infallible when speaking on faith and morals.
Best of luck! Fr. St. Robert Bellarmine St. The Reformation. Unleashed in the early sixteenth century, the Reformation put an abrupt end to the relative unity that had existed for the previous thousand years in Western Christendom under the Roman Catholic Church.
The Reformation, which began in Germany but spread quickly throughout Europe, was initiated in response to the growing sense of corruption and administrative abuse in the church. It expressed an alternate vision of Christian practice, and led to the creation and rise of Protestantism, with all its individual branches. Images, especially, became effective tools for disseminating negative portrayals of the church (Satire on Popery, 53.677.5), and for popularizing Reformation ideas; art, in turn, was revolutionized by the movement. Though rooted in a broad dissatisfaction with the church, the birth of the Reformation can be traced to the protests of one man, the German Augustinian monk Martin Luther (1483–1546) (Martin Luther as a Monk, 20.64.21; Martin Luther, 55.220.2). The Catholic Counter-Reformation. The Reformation and Counter Reformation. THE REFORMATION AND COUNTER-REFO.
By James Jackson Background At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Catholic church, modeled upon the bureaucratic structure of the Holy Roman Empire, had become extremely powerful, but internally corrupt.
From early in the twelfth century onward there were calls for reform. Between 1215 and 1545 nine church-councils were held with church reforms as their primary intent. The councils all fail to reach significant accord. Counter-Reformation. A copy of the Vulgate (the Latin edition of the Catholic Bible) printed in 1590, after many of the Council's reforms had begun to take place in Catholic worship.
The Counter-Reformation (also the Catholic Revival[1] or Catholic Reformation) was the period of Catholic revival beginning with the Council of Trent (1545–1563) and ending at the close of the Thirty Years' War (1648), and was initiated in response to the Protestant Reformation. The Counter-Reformation was a comprehensive effort composed of four major elements: Ecclesiastical or structural reconfigurationReligious ordersSpiritual movementsPolitical dimensions Council of Trent[edit] A session of the Council of Trent, from an engraving. Pope Paul III (1534–1549) initiated the Council of Trent (1545–1563), a commission of cardinals tasked with institutional reform, addressing contentious issues such as corrupt bishops and priests, indulgences, and other financial abuses.

How-to Remove Musty Smells from Your Car
When it comes to car smells, most people can readily identify new car smell or their favorite air freshener. Sometimes, you're greeted by a different sort of car smell. What causes mildew and musty smells in your car? More importantly, how do you get rid of musty and mildew smells in your car?
What's that Musty Smell in My Car?
The sense of smell is remarkable, able to detect some 10,000 different odors. Depending on the origin and the person, these can range from pleasant aromas to unpleasant odors. Fortunately, the human sense of smell isn't nearly as acute as most animals' sense of smell – where we might smell a rotten apple in a barrel of good apples, a dog could smell a rotten apple in a warehouse of good apples. When all these come together, you smell something. If your car smells like a gym when you open the door, whether you work out or not, it's likely none too pleasant.
Why is There Mold in My Car?
Musty smells and mildew smells are caused by colonies of fungus releasing their reproductive spores into the air. Such car smells can usually be traced to excess moisture, over 50 percent relative humidity, providing the perfect breeding ground for these microorganisms. Add heat – mold grows best between 77 °F and 120 °F – and your car is the perfect place to raise a nation of mold and mildew colonies. Mold usually lives in porous materials, like leather, foam, felt, and paper, while mildew usually grows on non-porous surfaces, such as vinyl and plastic. What might give mold and mildew a place to live in your car?
- Forgotten Food – Most food items and all drink items are moist to some extent. Similarly, spilled drinks can soak into the seat cushions and carpet padding. As food dries out and water evaporates, the humidity rises everywhere in your car, even places you can't see or access.
- Forgotten Clothes – Not exercising, the average person sweats about 20 oz per day, though strenuous exercise can push that over 1 quart per hour. Much of that soaks into your clothes, socks, and shoes. Drying off after a dip in the pool or ocean will soak your towel. Forgotten in a trunk or in the back seat, evaporating sweat or water raises the relative humidity in the car.
Water-Based damage
- Water Leaks – Damage and aging can create water leaks into the car. Poorly sealed body work or body panels can leak. Aged, loose, or cracked door or trunk seals are common problems that afflict many vehicles. Clogged sunroof drains are another common problem, and mistakenly leaving the window or sunroof open in the rain might give your carpets and seats a good soaking.
- Weather – Rain, snow, and mud are another source of water and fresh mold spores. If it's on your shoes, it can soak into the floor mats and carpet, where it is slow to evaporate. In a closed car on a warm day, this water can evaporate and permeate the entire vehicle.
- Evaporator – On vehicles equipped with air conditioning, the evaporator is inherently wet when in use, as it forces water out of the air. Normally, this water drips through a tube outside the vehicle. A clogged drain tube might allow this water to pool or even leak into the vehicle, soaking the carpets. If left in recirculate mode, the evaporator may not dry completely, leading to mildew growth on the evaporator and in the air box.
Besides being offensive and possibly embarrassing, musty smells might even cause allergic reactions, but is there a way to remove mildew smells from your car? Even better, is there a way to remove musty smells from your car without using harsh chemicals?
Remove Mildew Smells and Musty Smells
Because it's a living organism, though microscopic, the only way to stop mildew smells is to stop its growth – you can't just cover up car smells with an air freshener. There are two basic steps to remove musty smells from your car.
- Removal – Start by removing any visible mold and mildew and possible sources, such as old food or clothes. Because mold can't survive above around 140 °F, steam cleaners are a great non-chemical method to kill mold both seen and unseen. White vinegar and water is an excellent alternative to harsh chemicals. Leaving your car out with the windows open on a sunny day helps dry everything out, even better if it's breezy.
2. Deodorize – For hard surfaces and smooth surfaces, like door panels or dashboard, use Turtle Wax Power Out! Odor-X Spray and a soft cloth. Odor-X Spray can also be sprayed into the air conditioning vents or air box to eliminate musty smells from the air conditioning system. For porous surfaces, such as seats and carpets, Turtle Wax Power Out! Upholstery Cleaner and its built-in brush work both on stains and odors.
A great way to remove lingering musty smells in your whole car, after you've cleaned everything out, is to blast it with Turtle Wax ODOR-X Whole Car Blast Kinetic. The fine mist circulates through the whole car, under seats, in the air conditioning system, even inside door and roof panels, eliminating musty smells in just a few minutes.
Prevent Car Smells from Car Smells
Now that your car is clean and fresh, mold and mildew evicted, how do you keep musty smells from returning? Because mold needs heat, humidity, and food, eliminating these will keep mold and mildew from moving back in.
- Be Unhospitable – Make your vehicle as unhospitable to mold and mildew as possible. To reduce humidity, repair water problems and don't leave anything wet in your vehicle. Leave the air conditioning system in fresh air mode when parking the vehicle to allow for air circulation. In rain, snow, and mud seasons, all-weather floor mats keep most water from soaking into the carpets. Keeping your car clean inside and out is the best way to help it last longer and stay fresher. Our convenient travel size Turtle Wax Power Out! Odor-X Pump Kinetic is great for occasional touch-ups.
Truly, the sense of smell is a wonder, with which we can smell the morning brew, evening snifter, significant other, even detect danger. Car smells can be pleasing or displeasing, too, but using the right products can eliminate musty smells from your car and prevent mildew smells from returning.

Hi everyone on my team. Here is the policy on cross recruiting in case you had any questions about it. Marketing funnels are one thing. Cross recruiting is prohibited.
Reblogged From Cross-Recruiting Policy goes LIVE:
From The Desk of Jonathan "JCron" Cronstedt
October 21st, 2014
Hey Empower Network Family,
A quote to frame my thoughts for you today…
"The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins."
Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Our company was founded on the belief in entrepreneurial freedom. We put the interest of our affiliates above all else. That's something that will never change.
However, as we've grown and evolved, we've unfortunately seen some of our policies, founded in these beliefs, become abused. We've seen them used against those they were designed to liberate.
Because of this, effective today, we're amending our cross-recruiting policy. The amended policy is very simple. It's designed to continue supporting your entrepreneurial freedom:
- If you personally enroll (not a pass up) someone into Empower Network, you're welcome to discuss any company outside of Empower Network with them. However, if you did not personally enroll that person, talking with them about other companies splits their focus. This robs the affiliate that brought them to Empower Network.
- If (after a full investigation) it's confirmed that you're cross-recruiting people you haven't personally enrolled in Empower Network, you'll be suspended without compensation for 1 month. If after that, you choose to continue cross-recruiting in this manner, we have no choice but to remove you from the community and terminate the affiliate relationship.
It's an unpleasant reality that this amazing industry can be sullied by an unethical few. Anyone who believes that something great can be built by stealing opportunistically is simply wrong.
Empower Network is one of few companies in the industry that has grown organically. We've never once given out a back-room deal to a leader. And not once have we offered performance incentives for people to raid a group or company. It's something we'll never do.
It's time to stand for what is right in this industry, by putting our affiliates first. We're set on creating a community that honors entrepreneurial freedom. We will protect that freedom from those short-sighted marketers seeking to line their pockets illicitly on the hard work of others.
See You In Orlando!
Jonathan "JCron" Cronstedt
CEO, Empower Network
Some Clarifications:
We are here to support you.
Please reach out to firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions or clarification.
1. This policy is limited to cross-recruiting into other MLM companies. This isn't related to affiliate promotions, information products and services or products of your own.
2. This policy isn't intended, nor will it be used to prohibit ethical marketing techniques (i.e. Email marketing, advertising, etc).
This change was made to respond to the malicious targeting of non-personally enrolled Empower members for cross recruitment.
If you have questions about whether a marketing method is acceptable, just ask us.
A good rule of thumb is if the affiliate that enrolled the person you are prospecting would view this as cross-recruiting and not simply marketing, it would be a good method to ask about.

- Testing should be done to examine different athletes ability to resist fatigue in repeated sprint bouts. This is something I do with a protocol that isn't too different than the one used in this study and has shown up in several other studies examining RSA. I do a test of 6 x 30m sprints with electronic timing with a 30 second rest period between efforts. I like at time differentials, fatigue index, average time and fastest time.
- Ideally, different athletes should receive different volumes to maximize training effect. This is something I always do with my Track & Field and winter sport athletes but rarely do in soccer or team sports in general for that matter. I've found it's logistically quite difficult and guys don't want to be singled out for doing less or more. If you're training a soccer athlete individually though this might be very useful.
Performance and fatigue during repeated sprints: what is the appropriate sprint dose?
Laboratory of Exercise Physiology, University of Saint-Etienne, PRES Lyon, France. firstname.lastname@example.com
When testing the ability of sportsmen to repeat maximal intensity efforts, or when designing specific training exercises to improve it, fatigue during repeated sprints is usually investigated through a number of sprints identical for all subjects, which induces a high intersubject variability in performance decrement in a typical heterogeneous group of athletes (e.g., team sport group, students, and research protocol volunteers). Our aim was to quantify the amplitude of the reduction in this variability when individualizing the sprint dose, that is, when requiring subjects to perform the number of sprints necessary to reach a target level of performance decrement. Fifteen healthy men performed 6-second sprints on a cycle ergometer with 24 seconds of rest until exhaustion or until 20 repetitions in case no failure occurred. Peak power output (PPO) was measured and a fatigue index (FI) computed. The variability in PPO decrement was compared between the 10th sprint and the sprint at which subject reached the target FI of 10%. Individual FI values after the 10th sprint were 14.6 ± 6.9 vs. 11.1 ± 1.2%, when individualizing the sprint dose, which corresponded to coefficients of interindividual variability of ∼47.3 and ∼10.8%, respectively. Individualizing the sprint dose substantially reduced intersubject variability in performance decrement, enabling a more standardized state of fatigue in repeated-sprints protocols designed to induce fatigue and test or train this specific repeated-sprint ability in a heterogeneous group of athletes. A direct feedback on the values of performance parameters is necessary between each sprint for the experimenter to set this individualized sprint dose.

New Delhi [India], September 16 (ANI): Manisha, who was the youngest player in India's 20-member contingent at the SAFF Women's Championship 2019, has credited striker Bala Devi for the "valuable tips" that helped improve her game.
Manisha said that Bala taught her to be patient and encouraged her to become a top player.
"Bala-di is such an amazing player. She is an inspiration for each and every one of us. She (Bala Devi) taught me to be patient," AIFF quoted Manisha as saying.
"She insisted that being a young player, I have an advantage. But for that, I need to work harder than all. Both of us play as strikers and I look up to her to prepare myself mentally for a match, and how to adapt to game situations," she added.
Bala made history earlier this year when she was roped in by Scottish club Rangers Women's FC, becoming the first Indian women's footballer to sign a professional contract with a European club.
"We all look up to her. We hope she scores lots for goals for Rangers WFC in the coming months, and make all of India proud," said Manisha.
In February, the 18-year-old was awarded the 'Emerging Player of the Tournament' after her team Gokulam Kerala FC clinched IWL 2019-20 in Bengaluru. Looking back at the tournament, she said that she picked up a lot from the top-quality players in her team.
"It was great to play in the Hero IWL and win the title with Gokulam Kerala FC. I feel my game has improved with the experience and I learned a great deal from the top-quality players -- in my team and in the opposition," said Manisha. (ANI)

The introduction of the HTML5 specification brought with it a host of new semantic tags, giving more meaning to HTML tags. This meant that web designers no longer needed to produce swatches of
 tags to build their site structure.
The basic semantic HTML tags such as ,  and  are almost self explanatory. But, there are a host of newer HTML tags that web designers need to be using as well. Here we pick eight HTML tags that you should be using right now and briefly explain how they should be used. Plus, you'll find five HTML tags that need to be replaced immediately if you are still using them.
For more web design advice, see our web design tools roundup or our guide to how to make an app.
01. <picture>
The <picture> tag is similar to , the <picture> element provides flexibility by allowing multiple <source> elements for the same resource, which can adapt based on a media query or image type support. For example, it can supply WebP images to browsers that support the newer, smaller file size.
02. <datalist>
The <datalist> tag provides an autocomplete interface for <input> elements. Each list contains a set of <option> elements that have an associated value. When linked to an <input> using the "list" attribute, it can provide a drop-down list or even display suggestions as the user types.
03.

This description list, or
 tag, element serves as a container for groups of defined terms. Inside, each term (
) and definition (
) are grouped together to form a glossary-like structure. While it applies basic formatting by default, semantic HTML benefits screen readers and other automated tools such as crawlers.
04.
Accordions are a common design pattern when lots of data needs to be shown at once, such as a questions page. By using the  element alongside , we can achieve the same effect without JavaScript. Clicking the summary will toggle the rest of the content.
05. <dfn>
Complex terms or abbreviations often need defining for those that are not familiar. A term wrapped in a <dfn> tag will be defined by the text that surrounds it. This is an inline element and is designed to be used to highlight definitions in human language.
06.

A figure is defined as a unit of content that often appears in the main flow of a document but can be also interpreted separately. The
 element wraps an image or other reference content and can also include a description of its contents with
.
07.
With technical writing, it can be useful to visually separate computer code from the rest of the sentence. By wrapping each occurrence in a  tag, the browser can apply some default formatting to display it more appropriately. Combine with
 for larger code blocks.
08. <time>
We can write time values differently depending on the context or the language. By marking these values with the <time> tag, search engines and other automated tooling can quickly extract this information. Use the "datetime" attribute to supply a specific time in a more machine-friendly format.
5 HTML tags to avoid
The HTML specification has a lot of legacy tags that can still be used, and will still work, but the simple fact is, there is usually a better alternative out there. And, if there is a better option then you really need to be using it.
There is also the issue of browser support. Some tags will no longer be supported in every browser, but these can go unnoticed when looking at the design of a page. Again these need to be replaced.
Below you will find five tags that should definitely not be sitting inside the HTML of any page. If you spot any of these in your code make sure they are replaced with a more suitable tag or removed altogether.
01.
Historically, the  tag was used to style a block of text, it's now best to target and style text with CSS. According to Advanced Web Ranking, nearly 6.5 million websites still use the tag despite it being deprecated for many years.
02. <menuitem>
When combined with <menu>, the <menuitem> tag would supply options and actions to perform inside context menus. This has now been removed from the specification as it did not receive much browser support.
03. <big>
The <big> tag would have increased the size of the text inside the tag by one level. Its companion  is still valid HTML, but now has a more defined semantic meaning referring to small print.
04.
Previously the  tag was the only way to centralise both block and inline content, but it has now been replaced with "text-align: center" in CSS, which performs the same job.
05. <marquee>
The <marquee> tag allowed the text inside the tag to move across the screen like a news ticker. While previously a popular feature of the web it has been classed as obsolete in favour of CSS-based animations.

Every year, millions of international students leave their home countries and travel across the globe to study in universities. Throughout university lives, students go through varied emotions, one of them being a terrible craving of eating home food - the food so familiar to their taste buds that ties them back to their culture and identity.
This phenomenon, called homesickness due to food, occurs 1 in 3 international students and is known to cause less to more severe forms of uneasiness, distress and depression.
How can we alleviate homesickness due to food that international students suffer from?
Food Like Home is a mobile application that connects students to family hosts from the same country for an eating experience. Students can explore authentic dishes near them, book a cooking or dining experience, invite friends and eat emotionally comforting food with families - all while creating new memories along the way!
Personalized & Quick On-boarding
Students start off by entering their home country and dietary restrictions, so that they have access to personalized food experiences.
Existing social media login, helper text, autocomplete search & tags enable quick, clear and convenient on-boarding.
Explore & Search
Home screen allows users to explore eating experiences through direct search or browsing contents. These results sorted by distance, a constraint for students who don't own vehicles.
Users directly search for dishes they want to cook or eat and can apply filters to get tailored search results.
Explore in Detail to Incorporate Trust
Once users find the eating experience and family host they like, they can go further explore in detail. Reviews, photos, bio and location are included to incorporate trust in the system.
Book Experience & Bring Friends
Users can book a cooking experience to
learn authentic recipes from families or dine with them by eating comfort home food.
Most users were concerned about going alone, so users can invite or book a slot for friend too.
Create dialog between Host & Student
Users can message family hosts for questions, concerns or even thank each other for a wonderful time!
Talking to students and reading blogs
To understand why students feel homesick, what do they do in this situation and what is lacking, I conducted semi-structured interviews with 6 graduate international students from University of Michigan. I also read 3 student blogs that narrated emotional journeys about leaving home and the difficulties that come along with it.
Do existing solutions make an offer? (that students cant refuse)
Next, I took a careful look at existing solutions that involved the target activity of getting country specific food. I analyzed them based on a combination of factors interviewees mentioned and identified opportunity areas.
Not the act of eating, but the experience of eating with family and friends is what students
miss the most
"I miss hotpot"
"Every Sunday mom made
special brunch, I miss that"
Students lack skill(z) and time investment to recreate and
perfect dishes
"What I cook never tastes as good"
"I quickly make instant noodles"
Authentic food resources are not easily accessible. But there are opportunity areas.
"I don't have a vehicle to go again"
"Taiwanese grocery store is far"
So much information, so a persona!
Now that I had this wealth of information from my research, I structured it into a persona so that I can easily reference it and think of my users while designing solutions. I also created an anti-persona of a student who lives at home, to remind me who I am not designing for.
Ideation & Storyboarding
I put my creative cap on, and did some *crazy* 8 sketching. I designed solutions that involved in person experiences like skill sharing (student-student & student-family), explored new means to access authentic food (student-traveller) and used advanced technology (3D printing of food & VR cooking class). User storyboards delineated interactions, contexts and emotions. This exercise helped me empathize with my hypothetical user, and reconsider the feasibility of my solutions.
Which solution is the fairest of them all?
At this point I really wished I was a crazy scientist who could design and implement a 3D printer that printed authentic home food, but feasibility in near future and key research insights brought me back to reality. I evaluated pros and cons, secondary research about families and got user feedback to narrow down my solution.
A mobile app that connects students to nearby family home cooks for a cook or dine experience.
Why families?
Family cooks have higher or at most same level of skills in cooking
Families have access to authentic or even ancestral recipes
Why cook or dine?
Cooking enables skill sharing where family cooks can share tips & recipes
Dining for students who want to invest less time & have homely experience
Why an experience?
Fosters cultural and community bonding between individuals
Creates new memories with family-like people & friends
Design rationale for personalization, trust & other detailed interactions in the platform
I used a cool method called QOC - Question (Q), Option (O), Criteria (C) method to make key design decisions. First, you come up with a key design question, then you think of possible answers/options to the questions and criteria to finally assess and compare options. Some key questions I was asking myself were : How are users represented? How can I incorporate trust into the platform?
Test early, test often - Paper Prototyping
To quickly validate my initial designs in a cost-effective way, I created a paper prototype and tested it with my target audience. I carried out two rounds of user testing through which I identified key mismatches in
mental models and usability problems. I iterated my design until users could successfully all complete the tasks they were assigned to and had a smooth user experience.
"I want to enter a particular date "
"Where can I change my location?"
"Oh god I need to scroll
alot to get to Korea!"
"Wait, I didn't make this booking, why is it here?"
"Isn't this my calendar?"
User Flows & Wireframes
I simplified navigation paths based on user feedback and mapped the final user flow. Then, I created wireframes of my final design in Sketch.
Getting pixels perfect - Hi fidelity prototype
I finally created a hi fidelity prototype of my designs and strung together the screens to make them interactive in Principle.
What social impact would my design have?
Through this design, I feel that students would be emotionally comforted by the fact that they have an opportunity to get food that tastes like home and at a close proximity. The experience of eating and sharing food with "family-like" people and friends would foster bonding and creation of new relations. Lastly, I believe that this application would pave a way to replace their old memories of eating home food with newer ones.
Reflecting back - I am my own user, but the user is not like me
Although this project was motivated by own personal experience, every step along my participatory design process I learnt that although I am a user of this platform, the user is not like me. This helped me reduce my design bias and refined my design. Rapid prototyping helped me quickly validate my designs with minimum cost and was extremely critical in my design process. If I had more time, I would go back and conduct more interviews with family hosts to refine features of my design. I look forward to learn more and design for the host part of the app!

Start: 0800 hrs. The start is across the previous days finish line. Many will opt for a longish offshore leg to avoid the turbulent waters off Brooks Peninsula. At 138 nm this is the longest leg of the race. Storm force winds are not uncommon in this area at any time of the year.
Finish: The race committee will be on station at the Amphitrite Point lighthouse. The finish will be from the lighthouse to the Red whistle buoy Y42. Good spectator viewing. Depending on conditions the faster boats may finish in daylight hours. It is more likely that this will be a night finish and the entrance to Ucluelet can be challenging especially at night. Coast Guard Auxiliary 38 will be on hand at the finish to provide safety escorts to those who need it. This will be weather dependent and all racers should exercise extreme caution in this area.
Finish Time: Boats have until 1200 hrs on June 21 to finish this leg.
Moorage: Moorage is hosted in the municipal marina boat basin near the Canadian Princess downtown, courtesy of the District of Ucluelet. (see the marine facilities link at www.dist.ucluelet.bc.ca/frame.html for more info.) Boats drawing more than ten feet may be required to tie up at the outer float in the same area.
Facilities: Shore power, water, fuel, showers, laundry, shopping all available and close by.
Accommodations: The Tauca Lea Resort & Spa is a sponsor of the event once again. They offer one and two bedroom suites and an excellent restaurant, located on the water a five minute walk from the marina.
Welcome Reception & Awards: A tasty dinner and awards presentation has been organized by the local community at the Community Hall on Tuesday June 27. Time TBA.
The Ucluelet Chamber of Commerce sends the following message:
A special member of our community will meet the individual boats upon arrival. Some of our greeters vie for the same yacht year after year as they have created a special bond with the crews. The Coast Guard Auxiliary and the greeter Co-ordinator work closely together to ensure the greeters are there for arrival and docking. Each greeter welcomes the boat with special information packages which include goodies from various businesses and sometimes their own home cooked fare.
The crews and followers have a chance to experience Life on the Edge for a day or so while Tuesday evening always proves to be a fun and entertaining night. Ucluelet shares its West Coast Hospitality with a BBQ and award presentation.
From vantage points at Amphitrite Point and the Wild Pacific Trail, the community watches the yachts depart with a wave and a smile in anticipation of their arrival again next year.

It is time for the second Bikini Bootcamp workout! Today is all about the abs. Obviously if you are trying to shape up for a bikini, working the core is super important.
However, many people train the core incorrectly. Isolated abdominal training is good for your mid section, but only if you pair it with cardio and total body resistance training. Lucky for you, I know how to get those abs in shape. This workout paired with the other Bikini Bootcamp workouts will do the trick!
Follow the workout instructions below or workout with the video.

1A. Bob & Weave
1B. Quick Up/Down Squat
2A. Butt Kicks
2B. High Knee Drop
3A. Power Squat

Apeer at Selfbuild and Improve Your Home Exhibition
Apeer at Selfbuild and Improve Your Home Exhibition
Apeer, the company behind the frameless Lumi window and door system, has announced that it will be exhibiting a range of its award winning products at the Selfbuild and Improve your Home exhibition at the Titanic Exhibition Centre in Belfast from 12–14 February.
The Ballymena based company wowed the crowds at London Grand Designs Live when it revealed Lumi for the first time in May last year, and is aiming to become the centre of attention again with a 40m2 stand at the biggest home improvement show in Ireland, an event that attracts over 40,000 visitors each year.
Apeer's marketing manager, Linda Tomb, said: "Lumi was launched as a complete system of windows, doors and bi–folds and we will have a selection of all these on display at the Selfbuild and Improve your Home exhibition. This will be the fifth year we've been exhibiting at the show, and we've always had a fantastic response from consumers. It will also mark the first official viewing of Lumi in Ireland and as such it will be a great opportunity to present the range to our trade customers to come and see just how amazing it is.
"Selfbuild and Improve your Home has always proved to be very successful for us, and we're anticipating a great deal of interest. We've already set–up a network of approved Lumi dealers in Northern Ireland and Ireland and we'd urge potential customers to come and see us on stand C49 and take a closer look at what we believe is one of the most exciting systems on the market today."
Lumi windows and doors feature unique 'edge to edge' glazing, combined with market leading strength, security and aesthetics. The design is focused around energy efficient triple glazing that is structurally bonded to a core of high strength, glass–fibre reinforced profiles.
Apeer will be exhibiting at Titanic Exhibition Centre in Belfast from 12–14 February on stand C49.
We've got your back. and your front.

Kim & Jonathan
Kim and Jonathan are a couple full of love and not afraid to flaunt it. They're patient and gentle towards each other, and they're damn cute in front of the camera.
When I asked where Kim and Jonathan wanted to take engagement photos, Jonathan wanted something by the ocean, and Kim was after sweeping mountains and landscapes. We chose to go with both, and so we packed our bags and made the drive up to the Sunshine Coast. Our first stop was to the seaside flat rock platforms at Point Cartwright (I'm not sure what to actually call it, but seaside flat rock platforms is pretty accurate). After getting splashed on by crashing waves, we made the short drive to Emu Mountain – which is more like Emu Hill. We ended the day with an incredible sunset, some amazing photos, and a few sneaky hot chips on the drive home.

Cassandra ontdekte precies één jaar geleden op haar vijfendertigste dat ze een donor'kind' is. Ze beschreef de rollercoaster van het afgelopen jaar in een van de internationale Facebookgroepen voor donorkinderen. We kregen van haar de toestemming om haar verhaal ook met jullie te delen. Wat ons betreft een must-read!
I am one year old. One year. It has already been one year. Yet it has only been one year. 35 years of one identity, one year of another.
I am still only beginning, and I still have a lot to learn about an identity I have always had, and how Cassandra came to be. A trauma is a difficult thing to navigate: Intentional deception means losing trust in the people who first taught you what trust means. An exchange of money able to purchase away an ethnicity gives question as to what identity even means. To overcome years of shameful secrecy is something for which there is no timetable.
Loss of recognition and trust.
Over the last year, I lost my entire family in one form or another. I lost friendships: whether friends were unable to handle the weight of the issue and so abandoned ship, or stayed and tried, or stayed and understood even as usual topics of conversation dramatically changed, or saw me go through some pretty crazy transformations, or whether they could not comprehend the losses of the journey and hence the job of back and forth explaining became too tedious on all sides, or whether they unintentionally made me feel more alone and misunderstood…or whether I could not tell them at all. All relationships changed somehow. I even lost a part of my daughter. A sense of recognition.
Countless mental health professionals have admitted to never having met anyone in this situation, and often have very little knowledge surrounding the complex issues it creates. They may have little ability to validate in a way that is not based on the societal cliches that are actually a part of the problem. All these situations have caused, in their own ways, further isolation and trauma during a time that was already incredibly transitional and emotionally vulnerable, for countless reasons, even before this date last year.
I am a very trusting person who now deeply trusts virtually no one. When you are forced to learn about the history of the ways we 'buy and sell' human beings, that will happen. In learning that, it pains me to say, it became a date that rivaled even the day I became a mother in terms of its significance in my life. The worst day of my life. The best day of my life. The best thing to ever happen to me: the trauma of the Truth of my life and my existence. The day I learned I could be free. Free to be who I am and who I have always been. Free to put the pieces together, for me and for my daughter.
I have relived every age and stage. I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I will be okay. I am grateful. I am still ME, painfully so, but I will never be the same again. So much of what was left of my innocence, trust, and love was wiped away. I say again: 35 years of one life, one year of another. It has only been a year, though I almost can't remember a time before this was true; past memories seem so distant, while the present is so vibrant. Even in gaining myself, I have lost myself thousands of times over. I can't even recognize my own heartbeat. Yet somehow, that has been the only thing I can follow and the only voice I can heed during the last year, as untrustworthy, fake, foreign as it often feels.
I am the only one who can lead this journey. And what I have gained: again and again, The Truth. I have gained new families: I have gained a community of people who have me feeling more than ever that I have found 'my tribe.' It is rare to find someone else who can comprehend what has happened to me, to us. It is so often only our community who can fathom the full extent of this nightmare. They have saved my sanity, made me realize I am not a freak nor a shameful secret. I have gained new family and a greater understanding of who I am. A greater understanding of who our daughter is.
Shame and secrets keep us sick
The joys I have received and been utterly blessed with in the last year are things that no one should have to be *blessed* with. They are the results of denied human rights. In a life of loss, I lost things I never knew humans could lose; I was naive. And I have spent time this last year making sure at least a little corner of the world is aware of it. I'm not ashamed to say all of this, though those who are likely ashamed to read this can't see it. I am forced to hide who I am. My life — my identity — is still somehow a shameful secret. I don't care. I'm fighting to disprove that by sharing bits and pieces of what I can with who I can. To shed the 35 years of trauma. To try to prevent this trauma from happening to the next generation through advocacy and open discourse and education.
The last year has been spent meeting and forming friendships with new people, learning about new friends and family, contacting legislators and journalists and public figures, engaging in heated discussions with hundreds of people to try to change the prevailing thought process, networking with all of them to try make sure this scenario doesn't happen to anyone else. A year of art, writing, and advocacy. Because, when you see fellow human beings who have physically suffered, had inaccurate and delayed medical treatment, who have died as a result of having no access to accurate health history, who suffer on a visceral emotional level, who have suffered a primal wound and a form of psychological abuse from those they love the most, you need to act.
Do not lie to your children. Shame and secrets keep us sick. Long term, massive lies and delusions can cause C-PTSD. Trust is lost. Don't lie to your children about who they are. Information about a person cannot ethically be held from that person. ANY integral information. Whether you know my story or not I hope my messages get across… that we all have the fundamental right to our own bodies. I will never look at $35 or $100 the same way again. Be grateful if you can look at childhood pictures without feeling sick, without feeling like a fraud. Be grateful if you don't have to worry about 'coming out' and the people closest to you desiring for you to keep the most basic facts about yourself and your identity a secret, because of their shame. I almost don't remember anything else being true; this has always been. Yet moments it remains completely unreal.
I am fully human, except for how I have been treated
Over the last twelve months I have learned more about the manufacture and the buying and selling of human beings than anyone should have to learn. It shouldn't happen that people have to learn about this; and yet we do. I've learned more about something many consider a legally- and socially-sanctioned lesser form of child trafficking, and the ways we as a society have found to justify certain forms of it through ignorance. To have a year of being talked about like a product, a purchase, a mystery… to have to prove to strangers, to myself, and to the people closest to me that I am in fact fully human in every sense of the word, except for how I have been treated.
I was thrust into a world I did not know existed, a world I had always been an unknowing and unwilling part of, a sort of experiment in a world I can unfortunately now talk to you about all day every day, because I have lived it, educated myself, and been educated, in it. I learned about stigma and also about a sweet-talking industry that paints light to cover over the darkness it has created. I now live in this unimaginably pervasive brave new world; I now live in this surreally functional brave new body. Filled with the capacity for so much love, squashed under the weight of mistrust. This is MY story now, and while others' shame is respected, it has to be secondary to my message and my story about children's human rights.
Appreciate your rights. Appreciate what you take for granted. Appreciate privilege. I am thankful for my fellow travelers who understand how the best thing to ever happen is also the worst, most traumatic thing to ever happen. The discovery makes life, and my past, make sense, as I work forward and backward in integrating the pieces. It is an experience that brings forth unimaginable waves of emotions that did not exist within me before last year, emotions that the human mind and human heart do not have the pathways to experience until they are forcibly created in processing such a trauma. It requires deciphering the complexities of what makes us human in the first place and what that means for our bodies and for our rights.
Mind trip
I have spent so much time dissociating, an effect reflecting the pain of the realization that my whole life has been one of utter disconnect and lack of recognition. An awakening, realizing that there was a dismissal of all the clues. It is dissociation reflecting an understanding of the sickness surrounding me; the intentional deception of everyone I ever loved, all those consequences put on my shoulders through the willful ignorance of all those who violated me. It is the pain of some of the people I love the most telling me I am weak, I am an anomaly, when in fact I am stronger than any of them would have been in the wake of having their deeply ingrained core identity (an identity we take for granted even having, I might add) being shaken and pulled out from under them.
Through all my understanding, empathy, and forgiveness, I still hurt. However, I am firm in my unwavering appreciation of the truth and desire to make everything better for everyone out there. I now have the freedom of being who I am and always was with pride and more clarity. To know why I am the way I am in every way, so much more fully. It is an incredible gift of fortune. Love is not enough to solve the world's problems; until we have dignity and respect and rights to go along with the love that we all strive to let shine through, we will continue to falter. There are so many simple every day reminders around every corner. Having to hide huge parts of my life and huge accomplishments and huge joys and huge let downs from some of the people I care about most is a mind trip. An ethnicity change, and a certain kind in particular, is a mind trip. Reliving every age, each stage, completing an analysis of identity is a mind trip. If you have never had to reexamine your face, your entire body, be grateful. If you have never had to relive childhood memories as if you were a fraud, or feel sick looking at old photos, be grateful. If you don't see unimaginable trauma and families ripped apart on a regular basis, be grateful. I am so grateful, much as I suffer. Thank you all, those of you know who you are, so so so much, from my heart. Now that I am grounded, with all my roots exposed, I have a difficult but amazing life to go live.
I made it one year, time to step forward for more of the rough terrain.

Presenting our new Moose in the Forest Cremation Urn, crafted in the USA with a 3-dimensional inlay wood art nature design. The rustic scenery of mountains, lake, evergreen forestry, and a noble moose grazing near the water's edge provides a fitting art eulogy for your beloved hunter.
Shown here in oak wood, the Moose Urn is also available with the urn box crafted in dark walnut wood or the very lovely white maple. Optionally, we can personalize this urn for you with a laser engraved inscription which is carved into the wood surface on the top or back of the urn.
The moose as a symbol often represents majestic power, bravery, and dominance. Commonly found in Canada, Alaska, northern Minnesota and New York, and the upper Rocky Mountains, moose hunting is a popular and exciting big game outdoors sport wherever these incredible animals can be found.
Here is a video showing you an all-around look at this rustic memorial urn:
With slightly above average capacity at 230 cubic inches, the Moose in the Forest Wood Cremation Urn is suitable for the cremated remains of any adult. We also can build this in companion urn size, for two individuals who share a love of the forest and the Great Outdoors.

Plus, if you watch carefully, you'll spot a few surprises!
As all Doctor Who fans know by now, there'll be no 2018 Christmas special to cap off Jodie Whitaker's landmark first season as the Thirteenth Doctor. But what's perhaps a new tradition in the making begins on January 1, with a New Year's Day special that will see the Doctor (with a jaunty new winter accessory) and her friends face "a terrifying evil."
Obviously we can't wait for that. But before Earth makes its final stand, please enjoy this wonderfully festive Doctor Who yule log situation. It runs for two hours and features a special cameo or two along the way. Who needs a real fireplace when you've got this TARDIS garland-bedecked hearth?
The Doctor Who New Year's special premieres January 1 on BBC America.

Nuclear energy is one of the cleanest, most efficient, and most available sources of power on Earth, but it might not be the best choice over time. Currently, nuclear energy is the cleanest energy source other than wind, because in 48 minutes, a typical household will only emit 12 grams of Carbon Dioxide from nuclear plants. Meanwhile, coal plants emit 820 grams of Carbon Dioxide to produce the same energy, which is worse now, but in the long term nuclear plants may be more dangerous because nuclear material is possibly the most dangerous substance on Earth.
Two times in history, nuclear power plants have leaked significant amounts of radiation in 1986 and 2011, so this still remains a threat to the Earth. Today, both sites still have exclusion zones where people cannot safely live due to ongoing radiation, so nuclear plants pose a problem even with the cleanest source of energy. These leaks have not only caused environmental problems, but also economic damages costing hundreds of billions of dollars. Even though all issues must be considered, the biggest problem with nuclear energy is the nuclear waste, which may continue to emit a lethal dose of radiation for hundreds of thousands of years. In order to save the Earth, this waste must be put away where it can remain isolated and undisturbed, which is very hard to do, so scientists continue to explore more clean energy sources.

Discover now products for model landscaping water in all its fascination at your dealer!
Discover the whole variety at your local dealer
Water is always fascinating, and the creation of natural looking water is a very special, attractive challenge for every modeller. Whether you want to model a mountain stream, a deep blue artificial lake, a large sea or a tiny puddle. This year NOCH launched some great new items for the water assortment.
Beside that new products of 2018 for water structuring you can now discover the whole variety and many suitable products for water applications at your local dealer.
Our new Water Highlights:
Ponds, Pools and Puddles ...
New: Artificial Water mini (Art. Ref. 60876)
Sometimes it must be done quickly and you want to create only a small water body. The Artificial Water mini is ideal for modelling a pond in the garden or in a forest, a small puddle or a swimming pool. Just pour the 1-component-material into the prepared water bed. Then just wait until it is dry and hard, and your mini water is ready!
Art. Ref. 60874 Artificial Water XL
Artificial Water XL is ideally used for the creation of water surfaces on ponds, lakes and brooks.
Application: Paint the lake or creek bed with the NOCH Riverbed Colour Set (ref. 60875) or acrylic colours and let it dry well. The darker the colour, the deeper the water appears. After the colour has dried, the artificial water can be filled up to 2 – 3 mm high into the lake bed in one single cast. Hardening time is approx. 24 hours. While hardening, the artificial water loses approx. 50 % of its volume, so that a water level of 1 – 1,5 mm is achieved. Important: Several layers are not recommended as otherwise the lowest water layer can become cloudy!
Art. Ref. 60861 Waves & Billows
So far, a modeller could only choose from the NOCH range the established Water Effects. To form for example high waves on a beach for surfers or a diorama with ships on the high seas, we have developed »Waves and Billows«.
»Waves & Billows« is a substance, which is applied on the water surface with the help of a small spatula or toothpick. After rough modelling, let the mass sit for half an hour, before giving it the desired shape by forming with your spatula, toothpick or coarse brush.
Each breaking wave, each whooshing creek and each waterfall rushing down into a mountain lake creates white spume beside the wave. To reconstruct the wonderful highlights on the waves, NOCH "Foam & Spume" has been developed. The fine material can be carefully applied with a brush on appropriate water spots. It gives rapids, cascades and waves the finishing realistic touch. "Foam & Spume" appears more natural because it is not a white colour.
