I am going to show my age with this statement "SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS AIN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE"
Yes you can still find some Saturday morning cartoons but (use old man voice) "When I was a kid we lived for those Saturday morning shows"
My first memories of Saturday morning shows is "The Adventures of Superman" No it wasn't a Cartoon but it came on at 6:30am and without the aid of an alarm I would wake up just in time on Saturday's to watch the adventures of the Man of Steel. Yes Bullets would bounce off his chest but he would duck when the bad guy threw the gun at him.
Other favorites were the Bugs Bunny cartoons voiced by Mel Blanc who by the way shares his birthday with me.
Super hero cartoons ruled the day for me. The Super friends were great. If it wasn't the friends it was The Fantastic Four and Spiderman or Space ghost. I even got into the parody super hero shows. Mighty Mouse, Underdog and my favorites of the sillier super hero shows. Captain Cave Man and Hong Kong Fluey. I miss those shows.
Even though I love music the shows that were based on musical acts just didn't do much for me. The Beatles the Jackson 5 shows were watchable for me but were not among the favorites.
The was one exception, kind of. The Archie's were a cartoon show that led to forming a band and having the #1 song in 1969 Sugar Sugar. The Archie's were just one man. Ron Dante was the lead vocalist. Not a name that everyone remembers but he also had other hits just not under his name. He was member of The Detergents who had a novelty hit with Leader of the Laundry man, and Ron Sang lead on the Cufflinks hit Tracy.
By the way the song Sugar Sugar was written by Andy Kim who had solo hits with Baby I love you and Rock me gently.
A big shout out must go to The Banana Splits which was a live action and cartoon show that I really loved.
But one show on Saturday mornings that always made me laugh was the show Lancelot Link Secret chimp. The spy show parody featured the efforts to stop the evil leaders of C.H.U.M.P. (The Criminal Headquarters for the Underworlds Master Plan) Our hero worked with A.P.E. (The Agency to Prevent Evil).
The show was so much fun that a few years ago I showed some shows to some kids and they loved it.
There was even a rock band on the show called The Evolution Revolution. I had even found the album in a cut out bin and paid a buck for it and it was great.
A few weeks ago I even found this
I could go on and on about Saturday morning cartoons but I must admit the kids today have cartoons every day thanks to the Disney channel, Boomerang, the Cartoon network and I must admit I will watch some of the shows, well a lot of the shows today.
So now that we have talked he old school Saturday morning cartoons it is time for me to go to the Hall of Justice and join up with A.P.E. and as I leave I say 'UP UP AND AWAY"
Today on the morning show President Trump, National Video Game day

Lionbridge, a provider of marketing and globalization services, sells its communications platform around the world in more 300 languages. The company has announced several new advances in their AI-powered language translation services that should be a boon to companies hoping to execute multilingual and multimarket sales campaigns.
Lionbridge has also integrated their AI language services solution with Oracle Eloqua and Oracle Responsys to enable their clients to reach customers anywhere, and in any language, using the Lionbridge AI-enabled Translation Management Platform. This is a powerful sales tool. A recent survey by Common Sense Advisory of more than 2,400 web consumers in eight countries determined that 72.4 percent of retail shoppers are more likely to buy a product if the sales information is in their own language. Some 56.2 percent of those surveyed said that getting the sales information in their own language is more important than the price.
The Lionbridge solution is designed to support marketers producing, managing and delivering multilingual digital marketing campaigns for B2B and B2C. With this new platform users can easily translate and localize everything from graphic files to web pages and videos.
Selling More Cars with Smart SEM
Based out of Chicago, LotLinx specializes in inventory marketing artificial intelligence solutions for the automotive industry. Just last month LotLinx announced the release of an AI-powered search engine marketing (SEM) solution. This new SEM is designed to continuously and dynamically optimize inventory marketing campaigns in real time. Every vehicle is marketed uniquely so dealerships can optimize the amount spent on each campaign.
The volume of data available from thousands of individual car searches makes it too complex for individual dealership managers to adjust campaigns dynamically in the face of ever changing consumer and market trends and revolving inventory situations. AI-powered solutions can analyze all of the variables and determine the best marketing decision for each vehicle and every potential buyer.
To put this in perspective, the average automotive SEM manager makes fewer than 25 optimization adjustments per campaign, per month. In that same time frame the LotLinx AI-powered search engine marketing solution can accomplish more than 3,500 micro-optimization adjustments for each sales campaign. In pre-release tests this solution reduced the average cost-per-click from $4.31 in non-AI managed campaigns to $1.72 per click in LotLinx AI-managed campaigns.
Using Neuroscience to Improve Sales
MachineVantage, with headquarters in Berkeley and Chennai, India, is a company focused on providing both AI and machine learning-based market solutions across multiple areas of business operations. MachineVantage recently announced 10 new products designed to drive marketing innovations and new product development. Dr. Rajan Srikanth, President of MachineVantage operations in India, is best known for his work merging marketing with advanced neuroscience to create a new phenomenon called neuromarketing.
Srikanth believes that combining consumer neuroscience data and market information with AI and machine learning systems will result in powerful new tool for sales, since recent market studies indicate that some 95 percent of the daily buying decisions made by consumers are made in the non-conscious mind. The new MachineVantage products offer some thought-provoking concepts of how to sell by tapping into the power of the subconscious mind:
· Trend Spotter is new feature designed to extract the trends emerging in the non-conscious minds of consumers and track those trends over time and across geographies.
· Product Innovator and Market Sizer is a tool that algorithmically identifies the product innovations that consumers' non-conscious minds desire and then automatically gauges the expected market size.
· The Metaphor Extractor is based on the belief that metaphors are the language of the non-conscious mind. The Metaphor Extractor sifts through current market data to extract the underlying metaphors connected to brands and products and determine what use of metaphor will best maximize product sales messaging.
· The Product Naming Engine makes use of the fact that product names trigger non-conscious associations with our neurally-bound pre-existing concepts. The Product Naming Engine uses algorithms that can determine the product names that will most likely trigger good associations in the non-conscious of potential buyers.
· The Personalizer and Neuro Aligner is a tool that can personalize sales and marketing campaigns by automatically modifying messages in real time to personalize them based on consumer demographic information. It also alters messages to best reflect how the human brain prefers to process them.

Spring is here.
I am not really enjoying the So Cal weather right now because I enjoy warmer weather. It was overcast and humid yesterday and ended up sprinkling. It was kind of romantic at night because the air was glowing from the reflection of light on the misty atmosphere. And today, I don't even want to think about it. The wind is just brutal. I hate it when my bang is messed up.
As Project Runway 7 comes to an end, my two favorite shows return on MTV: The Hills and The City. I'm sure some people hiss at them for being no brainers, but isn't it so wrong that I enjoy watching a glammed up and overdramatized version of the lifestyle I aspire?
In Heidi's news, as The Soup's Joe McHale would say, Montag finally gets to confront her family in Colorado about her series of plastic surgeries. Or self-mutilations I'd say, since she had eyebrow lift, cheek injection, lip injection, jaw modification, nose job, ear job, thigh liposuction, butt enlargement and even more breast implants. I think her boobs are triple D now (equivalent of an F cup?), which of course isn't enough because she wanted an H cup (H for Heidi).
I feel her mom's pain when she struggled in articulating her true feelings – her daughter had looked better before. Heidi couldn't even talk or chew because her jaw was so locked up. At dinner, her mom sarcastically rubbed it:
"Do you want me to put it in a blender for you" (regarding Heidi's burger). It was hilarious to watch though.
In The City, People's Revolution coordinated Whitney Port's first fashion show. Whitney Eve, her clothing line for Spring/Summer 2010, is really cute. Here are a video and some pictures.

PS-BuK Standard and 10-Paddler Dragon Boats
An opportunity exists for PDBA clubs and the wider U.S. dragon boat community to purchase the official boat of the PDBA Regional Championships being held on August 2-4, 2019 at Vancouver Lake, WA. The boat being offered is the Pei Sheng built BuK (PS-BuK). Pei Sheng is the officially licensed BuK manufacturer and has been manufacturing and distributing the PS-BuK boat internationally since 2016.
About the PS-BuK Boat
In 2015, BuK (Germany) and Pei Sheng formed a joint venture partnership to pair the highly regarded BuK dragon boat design & high-quality processes with the production capacity & worldwide distribution potential of Pei Sheng. Pei Sheng is one of China's largest composite manufacturers with a well-established Rowing and Paddlesport divisions. In 2019, the PS-BuK boat has been selected as the official competition boat for the IDBF Dragon Boat World Championships (Pattaya, Thailand) and the ICF Club Crew World Championships (Kiev, Russia). The molds used to build the boats are made by BuK in Germany and shipped to China. The factory only uses materials that meet or exceed the stringent requirements of BuK and closely monitors the
production to ensure the boats are worthy of the BuK name. Mike Kerkmann is the owner of Pan Am Dragon Boat and the official distributor of the PS-BuK boat in the United States. He visited the Pei Sheng facility in 2018 to inspect the boat and the materials/processes used to manufacture the boat. This visit revealed to him that the PS-BuK is the highest quality product available to the North American market. View video here.
Availability and Price
New PS-BuK boats will be shipped to Lake Vancouver, WA for use at the Pacific Dragon Boat Association Regional Championships August 3rd and 4th 2019. Immediately following this competition, the boats will be transferred to new owners. For organizations who wish to reserve one or more of these boats, a 60% deposit is required with the balance payment due on pick-up or delivery.
Price – $8,200.00
Included – PS-BuK Standard Boat with dragon head/tail, drum, drum seat, steering oar, scale graphics
Payment Terms – $4,920.00 deposit (each boat) with balance payment due on pick-up or delivery.
Available Accessories – Trailer (various models), TNP Paddles, Grey Owl Paddles, Aluminum Dolly, Sunbrella Cover
At this time our plan is to ship one container of 8 boats to the PDBA Regional Championships. If this container sells out quickly we will consider a second container but will offer the special sale price on the condition that we confirm sales of at least 4 of those boats. There is a benefit to committing to some of the 1st container boats early… that is the opportunity to select combined hull & scale colors for your fleet. Sales that occur after the boats are manufactured will be white hulls with some standard scale colors… blue, red, green, etc…
The PS-BuK has been selected as the official boat for both the 2019 IDBF World Championships in Pattaya and the 2019 ICF World Club Crew Championships being held in Kiev. Also… the 2020 IDBF European Championships.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to ask.

(Atlanta - GA) - May 11, 2010) - JobServe continues its expansion in the US with the introduction
of a new resume search platform and data center.
"JobServe's commitment to the US
market grew significantly with the introduction of the new resume search service designed specifically for recruiters.
With the job market set to heat up the timing could not be better,"
said Phil Simpson, VP of Sales for JobServe.us.
Initial feedback from JobServe customers has been positive.
Commenting on the new resume search service,
Wiley Flowers, Technical Recruiter for Electronic Transaction Consultants
said, "The new JobServe resume search engine has been an awesome tool
and extremely beneficial in helping me fill my positions for my company.
I recently received 14 openings in four different states with an average
target start date of three weeks to a month and I have been able to
fill over 60% in the last three weeks with the help of this new resume tool and a combination of JobServe's job postings."
The resume search service utilizes patented
behavioral analytics to identify and rank relevant candidates.
Recruiters have the flexibility to easily modify key search criteria
and conduct side by side resume comparisons.
"In addition to delivering quality
response, speed and ease of use were crucial during the development
of this resume
database search service.
Our tool minimizes the time recruiters need to spend searching online
and allows them to focus on contacting qualified job seekers and filling
their openings," commented Simpson.
To enhance the performance of the website
including the resume search service, JobServe opened a new data center
in Atlanta, GA. "The new data center gives us the speed and
flexibility needed to optimize results for recruiters throughout the
USA. We also recognized the need to dramatically increase the flow of
qualified job seekers to the database. As previously announced through
our partnership with Jobg8 we have created one of the largest recruitment
networks in the USA. New job seeker registrations increased by 83% in
April alone to fuel the new resume search engine," concluded Simpson.

MatchNet, which operates JDate.com and AmericanSingles.com, said in a statement that it has called off the initial public offering because of the "faltering market for Internet-related IPOs."
The Beverly Hills, Calif.-based company's chief executive officer and president, Todd Tappin, announced his resignation, also on Thursday. He is being replaced by MatchNet board member David Siminoff.
MatchNet joins a growing list of Internet and high-tech companies that have recently shelved their IPOs. The list includes Claria, a maker of pop-up advertising software, which withdrew its share launch plan this week, and PlanetOut, an online media company targeting gays and lesbians that postponed its stock market debut indefinitely on Wednesday. Nanosys, a nanotechnology company, yanked its IPO last week. Each cited adverse market conditions as the basis of their decision.
Of the 36 stock market debuts cancelled this year, nearly half have been in the last two weeks, said Richard Peterson, an IPO analyst at Thomson Financial. "There's been an acceleration of deals being taken off the calendar," he said.
Reduced offer prices are another symptom of slack demand in the IPO market, Peterson said. Lindows, a Linux software developer, reduced its planned stock price for a second time on Thursday, chopping its anticipated payout nearly in half. RightNow Technologies, which sells online self-service software, dropped its IPO share price just before it began trading last week.
Although each company has its own reason for pulling the offering or lowering the share price, the moves reflect a general disappointment among investors with the performance of IPOs this year---particularly in the Internet and high-tech industries, Peterson said.
Of the 145 companies that began trading their shares publicly this year, 78 are trading below their initial offering price, Peterson said. Technology IPOs have fared worse than average, typically losing 10 percent of share value after the first day of trading, compared with a 4 percent average loss for all IPOs this year, Peterson said.
Bad news about unemployment and disappointing earnings reports from Cisco Systems and Hewlett-Packard may have also sapped enthusiasm for high-tech IPOs in recent days, he said.
Another analyst believes the cancellations reflect the high bar that investors have set for companies seeking to trade publicly. "Each individual deal is going under the microscope," said David Menlow, president of the IPO Financial Network. "It doesn't matter if other deals in that sector did well. Unlike in the '90s, each deal is being evaluated on its own merits."
Google--which many thought would reignite the IPO market with its highly anticipated offering--may also be contributing to current stock launch woes, Peterson said. The upswing in cancelled or postponed IPOs came amid growing skepticism over Google's offering.
"The Google IPO is swimming against a current of bad news," Peterson said. "The deal will get done, but the performance may be less than everyone anticipated. It won't jump-start the tech world."

Mary Klotman, MD, chair of the Department of Medicine, today announced that Myles Wolf, MD, MMSc, will assume the role of chief of the Division of Nephrology, effective August 1, 2016.
Currently, Dr. Wolf is Margaret Gray Morton Professor of Medicine-Nephrology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where he also is founding director of the Center for Translational Metabolism and Health in the Institute for Public Health and Medicine.
Wolf was chosen for this leadership role after a rigorous international search.
Dr. Klotman said that Wolf presented an exciting vision for the Division of Nephrology, which has a history steeped in success: "To leverage translational multidisciplinary science to unlock the full potential of Duke Nephrology."
"He will have my full support, along with the support of the talented faculty, trainees and staff in Nephrology, to achieve that goal," said Klotman. "Myles brings to this leadership role a passion for patient care, a track record for mentoring clinical and basic science trainees that includes his directorship of the Physician-Scientist Training Program in Feinberg's Department of Medicine, and his own exciting and well-funded research program."
Wolf investigates disordered mineral metabolism across the spectrum of kidney disease with an emphasis on the hormonal regulation of phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis by fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). His translational research team engages in laboratory, patient-oriented, and epidemiological studies, in addition to clinical trials. The work that Wolf and his team have done on the role of FGF23 as a novel mediator of cardiovascular disease in patients with kidney disease is ideally suited for synergy with the Duke O'Brien Center for Kidney Research, which focuses on the kidney-cardiovascular nexus.
His interests and vision will also help pave the way for exciting new collaborations between investigators from Nephrology and the Duke Cardiovascular Research Center, Duke Molecular Physiology Institute, Duke Clinical Research Institute, and the Duke Translational Medicine Institute, among others.
Wolf earned his B.A. in biology from the Johns Hopkins University, his M.D. from the State University of New York, Downstate, and his master of medical science degree in Clinical and Physiological Investigation from Harvard Medical School. He completed his internship and residency, and a fellowship in nephrology, at Massachusetts General Hospital. He joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School and served as visiting scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, then moved to University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where he ultimately served as assistant dean for translational and clinical research and as chief of the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension. He moved to Northwestern University in 2013.
The Duke Division of Nephrology comprises 24 regular rank faculty, 10 fellows, and 20 staff employees, with a robust research portfolio, clinical practice and NIH-funded training program.
Klotman thanked Steve Smith, MD, MHS, professor of medicine (Nephrology), for his extraordinary efforts as interim chief of the division. Dr. Smith assumed that interim role on January 1, 2015, when the previous chief, Thomas Coffman, MD, stepped down to become dean of the Duke-NUS Medical School.
Klotman also thanked David D'Alessio, MD, professor of medicine and division chief (Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Nutrition) and the other members of the search committee, for their time, effort and commitment in this very important process.

Franz Joseph Haydn (Austrian, 1732-1809): The Creation, Bass recitative "And God said..."
As you might know, "oratorio" is similar to opera, but unstaged. Oratorios were originally created to be performed during Lent, when the spectacle of opera was considered inappropriate, and they often have religious subjects, such as this one about the biblical creation story. Haydn was inspired to write oratorios after visiting London and hearing performances of Handel's "Messiah" and "Israel in Egypt." There's a complicated story behind the libretto, but the upshot is that Haydn ended up writing an English version and a German version more or less simultaneously.
This selection incorporates two musical devices: "recitative" and "word painting." "Recitative" is when a singer "recites," or speaks, text, rather than singing it more traditionally. The rhythm is free and not counted as strictly as other music. "Recitative" can be accompanied by one instrument such as a keyboard or a plucked instrument, or by the whole orchestra. The accompaniment is usually just short interjections between the singer's lines.
"Word painting" is pretty much what it sounds like--when the music "paints" the text it is describing. In this case it is a little confusing because the text usually comes after the music that describes it. So I'll go through it in a little detail:
Accompanied by piano:
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind; cattle and creeping thing, and beasts of the earth after their kind.
Orchestra starts
Strait opening her fertile womb, the earth obey'd the word, and teem'd creatures numberless, in perfect forms and fully grown.
Orchestra roars like a lion
Cheerful roaring stands the tawny lion.
Orchestra leaps
In sudden leaps the flexible tyger appears.
Orchestra plays dance-like music
The nimble stag bears up his branching head.
Dance music continues, but heavier
With flying mane and fiery look, impatient neighs the sprightly steed.
Innocent pastoral music
The cattle in herds already seeks his food on fields and meadows green.
Bassoon starts playing
And o'er the ground, as plants, are spread the fleecy meek and bleating flock.
Buzzing sound in orchestra
Unnumbered as the sands in swarms arose the host of insects.
Low, slithering music (this is the best part! He sings sooo low!)
In long dimensions creeps with sinuous trace the worm.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- The Tusculum University women's basketball team will play at Wingate University in the quarterfinal round of the Pilot/Flying J South Atlantic Conference Championship tournament Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Cuddy Arena in Wingate, North Carolina.
The Pioneers were awarded the seventh seed in the tournament after finishing with a conference record of 8-8. Tusculum was tied for fifth in the final standings with Newberry and Lincoln Memorial, but lost the tiebreaker with the Wolves and Railsplitters. The Pioneers are making their second straight appearance in the SAC tournament, and will be looking for their first win since 2013.
Wingate, the defending SAC Championship tournament runner-up, is the number-two seed in the field after finishing 15-5 in the league and 20-7 overall. The Bulldogs were tied with Carson-Newman for second place in the final standings, but won the tiebreaker due to a sweep of the season series.
Tusculum and Wingate are meeting for the fourth time in the SAC Championship tournament all-time, with the Bulldogs winning two of the previous three meetings. Wingate beat Tusculum 70-47 in the 2005 quarterfinals and 76-74 in the 2008 championship game. The Pioneers defeated the Bulldogs 77-66 in the 2011 title game in the most-recent meeting between the two in the tournament.
Wingate won both meetings with Tusculum during the regular season, earning a 73-67 victory at Cuddy Arena on Jan. 19 and 51-47 in overtime in Saturday's regular-season finale in Greeneville. Wingate has won six straight meetings and owns a 32-12 lead in the all-time series.
Tusculum has four players who average in double figures, led by junior guard Mia Long at 12.3 points per game. Long leads Division II in steals per game at 4.1 per contest and has scored in double figures 19 times in 26 games.
Senior forward Yolizma Cupidan had her streak of 12 straight games in double figures end in Saturday's loss to Wingate, but she still averages 11.3 points per game and ranks fourth in the conference in field goal percentage at 50.2 percent.
Senior center Kendrea Duke is third on the team in scoring at 10.7 points per game and leads the Pioneers with 6.6 rebounds per game. Duke has reached double figures in scoring 16 times, including five of the last seven games, and is shooting 79.7 percent (47-for-56) at the foul line over the last 12 contests.
Tusculum's fourth player in double figures is senior guard Callie Patterson, who is tied for third in the conference with an average of 2.2 three-pointers per game. She averages 10.5 points per game but has come off the bench in the last six contests since sitting out four games with an injury.
Sophomore guard Jalia Arnwine (7.4 ppg) and junior forward Jasmine Williams (5.7 ppg) have also been involved in the Pioneer offense, primarily from three-point range. Arnwine, who has started 21 games, has canned 39 three-pointers to rank second on the team to Patterson's 54, while Williams has gone 24-for-64 from beyond the arc in the last 15 games after making just four threes in her first 44 career games.
Tusculum's areas of strength this year have been its ability to force turnovers and three-point shooting. The Pioneers, who allow a SAC-best 55.3 points per game, are among the top five in Division II with 23.6 turnovers forced per game, and in three-point percentage defense at 25.8 percent. Tusculum has connected on 215 three-pointers this season, the fourth-most in a single season in school history, and has nine players who have reached double figures from beyond the arc.
Wingate is second to Tusculum in the SAC in scoring defense at 58.7 points per game. The Bulldogs lead the conference in rebound margin at 11.2 per game, and rank third in free-throw percentage at 75.7 percent.
Senior guard Caroline Averette is the Bulldogs' lone player averaging in double figures at 14.6 points per game. She leads the team with 34 three-pointers and is shooting 88.8 percent from the foul line. Senior forward Danasia Witherspoon is averaging 8.7 points per game and is fifth in the conference in rebounding at 8.2 per contest.
Sophomore forward Teliyah Jeter is averaging 7.1 boards per game to rank seventh in the SAC and leads the conference with 2.8 blocks per game despite averaging just 19.9 minutes per game off the bench. Jeter nearly had a triple double against Tusculum in Saturday's game, finishing with 11 points, 14 rebounds and nine blocked shots.
Tusculum's last win at Cuddy Arena was on Dec. 13, 2015 by a 57-56 score, which was followed two months later by the Pioneers' last win over the Bulldogs on Jan. 30, 2016 in overtime by a score of 82-73. Wingate has won 17 of the 22 all-time meetings with Tusculum at home.
Wednesday's winner will advance to the semifinals at Timmons Arena in Greenville, South Carolina to face the winner of the quarterfinal game between third-seeded Carson-Newman and sixth-seeded Lincoln Memorial, in a game that will be played Saturday at 2:30. The semifinal winners will square off for the SAC Championship on Sunday at 1 p.m., with the winner earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament.

Adrian Todd Golden Key Fund
The Adrian Todd Golden Key Student Fund was set up on the Institute of Petroleum Engineering's 40th Anniversary in 2016. This marker coincided with Prof Todd's retirement from IPE where he had served since its inception. Adrian was well known to many as a lecturer in Petroleum Engineering, researcher in Fluids, Gas Condensates and CO2 Capture and Storage.
The fund will support IPE students to enhance their educational and research experience by providing funding to attend and present at high profile conferences, support research visits to leading universities across the world, fund international field and laboratory work and other initiatives that are in the spirit of pursuing excellence. In addition to these examples other exceptional cases will be considered.
The fund is supported by Alumni of IPE.
The Scottish Oil Club has supported this fund with donation, in recognition of Prof. Todd's many contributions to their activities over the years.

It's been a groundbreaking first week for the League of Legends Champions Korea. The last three teams promoted into the LCK have ended the first week undefeated, 12-0.
These teams, Griffin in summer 2018, as well as DAMWON Gaming and Sandbox Gaming in spring 2019, have come out of the gates swinging, beating Gen.G, Kingzone DragonX, and KT Rolster—organizations that have previously competed on the world stage.
It's too early to predict how the rookie teams will place in the season, but it's an exciting and welcoming prospect that the new squads have the ability to make such an impact on a league that's largely considered to be the best in the world.
South Korea didn't have the greatest year in 2018, though. The region actually had their worst international year in history. First, China's Royal Never Give Up, led by AD carry Jian "Uzi" Zi-Hao, beat Korea's No.1 seed Kingzone DragonX convincingly at the Mid-Season Invitational.
At the end of 2018, the World Championship turned out to be an embarrassing spectacle for the LCK. The region was previously considered to be the undisputed champions of League of Legends, winning Worlds five consecutive times, and almost always in dominant fashion.
But Gen.G failed to advance out of the group stage, losing four of five games in what looked like a tribute to Samsung Ozone Bae "dade" Eo-jin—in which his team was beaten by Europe's Gambit Gaming in the group stage of season three.
And KT Rolster narrowly lost out to Invictus Gaming in one side of the quarterfinals—despite going to a game five—before Afreeca Freecs, the No. 2 seed, ended Korea's chances and were promptly swept by North America's Cloud9.
It could be argued that the Western regions stepped up and finally mustered the strength to go face-to-face with the East. But in all reality, it looked more like an underwhelming performance from Korea's representatives.
Griffin, the newest team of the 2018 summer season, were considered to be one of the best squads in Korea, but lacked the circuit points to attend Worlds. And it's plausible that the team could have made a real impact if they qualified for the World Championship.
We didn't get to see Griffin's true potential in 2018, but perhaps 2019 is the year for the team consisting of young players to show the world that they're capable of performing on the international stage.
It's refreshing to see three new teams compete with the veterans of the LCK. It means that the level of competition will only further develop, and in turn, help the growth of the league.
The LCK thankfully doesn't need to import players to create a sustainable roster, like their counterparts in China, or their pretenders in Europe and North America. They only need to scout local solo queue talent. SK Telecom T1 did it in season three, so there's no reason why Griffin, DAMWON, or Sandbox can't do it, too. The next Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok could be eagerly waiting to make his first appearance.
These teams' undefeated records will be put to the test on Wednesday, Jan. 23 between Griffin and Hanwha Life Esports, before Sandbox Gaming take on veteran team SK Telecom T1 on Thursday, Jan. 24, and Griffin face off against DAMWON on Friday, Jan. 25.

Member Insight – Yvette Cozier
What sparked your decision to become an epidemiologist?
- I was a hospital laboratory technologist for many years and I loved my work (most days). The clinical lab introduced me to the concept of social and behavioral sciences as I saw the revolving door of clients into the STD clinic as they were diagnosed, treated, and cured, only to eventually return to the clinic with a new infection. This pattern made me curious about the "causes" which were at work. It was through this experience that I learned about epidemiology, and ultimately, social epidemiology.
What do you see as the biggest obstacle facing epidemiologists in the next five years?
- Obtaining funding for research.
Do you have any pets?
- Yes, Bosco the beagle. He is 13 years young and leads a life of which I am completely envious.
Why did you join SER? What keeps you coming back?
- SER has always been a great opportunity to learn new methods and reinforce current research practices. Over the years I have met so many smart and wonderful people at SER; some I am now fortunate to work with at BU and to collaborate across institutions. Each year I look forward to time away from the office where I can be further developed as an epidemiologist. SER is the meeting that I get most excited about.
What advice do you give students who want to become epidemiologists?
- Know why you want to do this – there is much to study and learn and it can be grueling at times. BUT, if you appreciate generating and testing new ideas, collaborating with others, and generally want to make a difference in people's lives, epidemiology is the career for you.
Outside of epidemiology what do you enjoy doing?
- Spending time with my family (Husband Ted, Kids Sebastian and Alexandra)
- Foreign travel
- Crossword puzzles, Sudoku (it's a nightly ritual)
- Live and televised sports: baseball, basketball, and college and professional football games (especially the tailgate parties!)
What is something that not many people know about you?
- I was a multi-sport athlete in my youth including playing Little League baseball (not softball), figure skating, gymnastics (Beam and Vault), and Track and Field (high-jump, shotput). My hip-replacement last summer has put an official end to my Olympic aspirations 😉

AirLife® Valved Tee Adapter, 22mm OD x 22mm OD
Manufacturer: VYAIRE MEDICAL, INC
Your Price: Log in to see your price
List Price: $6.59 EA
Manufacturer: VYAIRE MEDICAL, INC
Product description:
Valved tee adapters make it easy to deliver aerosolized medication to your ventilator patients. Used in conjunction with a nebulizer, the valved tee adapter offers a safe and convenient way to introduce medication into the circuit. Unlike other tee adapters that require time-consuming and potentially hazardous breaks in the system, the valved tee adapter becomes a permanent part of the ventilator circuit. Its spring-loaded valve opens and closes the circuit during nebulizer insertion and removal. Because the adapter maintains a closed system, the risk of condensate being accidently sprayed into the air is greatly reduced. Choose from three sizes for placement at different locations in the circuit. With spring-loaded valve and cap. Include 18mm base.
- Simplify delivery of aerosolized medication to ventilator patients
- Reduce risk of circuit pressure loss
- Provide a closed system to minimize risk of contaminatio

You did that in one night? It would take me a month of Sundays!!!Like the billboard idea, maybe they will be coming from Frontier!
I really like that! Especially the cut outs in the back. A nice twist on the Knott's mine train.
That log flume and the volcano coaster look INCREDIBLE! Wonderful small stuff.Love the size of all this rides and how you play with it to fit them n the boardwalk. Love the theming of the volcano coaster.
I would love to spend 5 minutes inside your mind.-JMAinAZ
Pier parks aren't supposed to look this awesome.
Um, wow. When you asked for suggestions I really tried to think of some things and none of them was THIS. THIS shouldn't be possible. In fact, I'm pretty sure it isn't because now I'm going to go try and then I'm going to fail miserably.
wauw, are any of these rides up in the workshop? I would love to use one or two of them in a park I am making.
....I don't check in for a few updates and I'm treated to THIS?!?! Holy cow, man, this is stunning. I love your work with the shapes (still) and that volcano--damn. I didn't know you could do so much with the terrain in a relatively small space. This is next-level stuff. So great!
very nice. is the lava made from a sign or the free form pieces?
That "painted" back of Fire Mountain is bloody genius. I would never have thought of that. I would have been thinking, "it doesn't fit the theme of the ride. I can't do that". Of course, it wouldn't have worked at the front, but it's so, so right and fitting at the back. It feels like a proper seaside structure. I can really imagine it being one of those iconic landmarks that you see driving up the prom reminding you of childhood visits and getting you all excited knowing you're about to have a fun day. Brilliant.
In general I don´t like pier parks, they look really cluttered and random. That fact you transport to your own pier park as well. It´s well executed, looks very realistic and I know that this must be very hard to create. But anyway this park cannot convince me of pier parks
Love it. Love it. Love it. Looks like you're going to supplying all the next gen of video in Mall Motion Sims! I have to ask though, how do planters in piers work? I'd imagine trees would be few and far between on them.
Palms have like no root structure to them - it's plausible they could grow there happily.I love what you did to the back of your darkride structure...so brilliant.
This minetrain-darkride-complex is a pure stroke of genius. I also like the colour-scheme of the tiger-shark. It is a really huge pier-park isn't it ? Keep up your nice work!
So rewarding seeing it filled in-you work fast!
What there? Where did that come from. I don't check in for a couple of days and all of sudden This is awesome! I love that dark ride enclosure. That's incredible!
YES! More volcanoes. But mini! This is looking awesome. So in love with everything.
Lattice? Really? Looks wonderful!

Hagypagy, if you've tried all of that, you should reach out to Support. Remember all of the players that were locked out for months last year? It might be worth checking in with them. Now you're on a different device, why don't you store your walkers and some deco. Try to reduce the graphics on your board so it can attempt to load the game. Also check your device memory as you might need to offload unused apps or photos. CS does take a lot of memory to run especially if you clog up your cache by visiting a lot of high level kingdoms as it needs to store their game layouts as well. It all compounds.... happy to hear you are back on board for this event though

A long time has passed since my last post. Three and a half years! That post was part one of two, but before I return to part two I will give you a quick update.
My children are all still severely alienated. I didn't realize how much I had expected that to change, and consequently how sad I became when it didn't. Although writing this blog has been very satisfying, especially when commenters expressed that it helped them understand their own situations better, I just kept procrastinating because it was too painful.
I know, and I have repeatedly written, that patience is key, and to not lose hope, and that as long as the alienator has frequent access to your children (or sibling, as the case may be) that it is not realistic to expect them to be able to resist. I knew it, and yet I still let myself nourish those expectations.
I have continued reading about alienation and cult-like relationships and I have continued talking to friends who have experience with alienation, and all I have encountered confirms that only separation from the alienator can stop it. On the positive side, I have repeatedly seen that the alienation can dissolve quite quickly when that happens.
I will write more about what has happened to me in relevant future posts, after getting back to part two of the last one.
If you are moved to do so, please write about any experience you have had with alienation that has ended – your own or a friend's.
Love to all!

Making History Come Alive: WBAP-TV Archives Project
April 6, 2019 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Dallas-Fort Worth residents are familiar with KXAS, or Channel 5, but they may not realize that it signed on the air in 1948 as WBAP-TV, the first television news station in Texas. In fact, it pioneered many broadcast techniques in Texas and the Southwest, including the local newscast, professional weather reporting, all-color news film, and more. Luckily, speaker Brian Hocker and some of his colleagues at the station were not only aware of the role of WBAP In television history, but wanted to preserve its past. Through a partnership with the Portal to Texas History which is maintained by the University of North Texas Libraries, Hocker led the charge to save a basement full of invaluable film reels and news scripts so they could be digitized and made available online to the public. Join us to learn the details of this important preservation success story!
Brian Hocker joined the broadcast industry in 1986, initially holding positions in audience research and advertising. As Vice-President—Digital Media, Programming, and Research, Hocker is responsible for the purchase, scheduling and production of local and syndicated programs along with general station operations. Has served in leadership roles in professional organizations such as the A.C. Nielsen Company's National Policy Guidelines Committee, which advises on policies and practices for the television ratings industry, and the American Marketing Association's DFW Chapter. Locally, he volunteers on several community boards including the Cowtown Marathon, where he is the past chairman of the board of directors.

A consistent player throughout the late summer and fall has been the weekly one pound bag of green beans. Before this year, I only made green beans one way: cooked to death in pork stock, like any true Southern cook should. This method works very well for the flat, hearty Romano or pole beans that came in the summer. But what about the skinny, delicate haricots verts that are available now? Here's my latest discovery, and what a revelation it is, because it combines a technique and a vegetable that don't get much play in my house: green beans pureed into a soup. If you're still with me, then you're braver than I. Green bean soup sounds like baby food to me. Blech. We don't do those little jars in my house anymore. The kids eat real, whole foods, just like the grownups.
Facing an abundance of green beans and knowing that more would be in my near future, I made the soup and now I'm hooked. Try it. And if you think of a clever name to tell the kids, let me know. Both of my girls pronounced the soup delicious, although they weren't crazy about the name "Green Soup."
Green Bean Soup with Lemon Scallion Butter
Lemon Scallion Butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh scallions
1/4 cup unsalted butter
grated peel of one lemon
Two tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 pounds green beans, trimmed and chopped
4 cups chicken broth, or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 cup cream or half-n-half, optional
Freshly ground pepper
1. To make lemon scallion butter, combine the first five ingredients in blender or food processor until well blended. Set aside.
2. To make the soup, cook the onion in the remaining butter until translucent. Add the beans and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken or vegetable broth and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Puree the soup in the blender, food processor or food mill. When using a food processor, I find it easier to remove the green beans from the broth with a slotted spoon and puree them until smooth. Put the pureed beans in a separate pot, adding broth until you get the consistency that you like. Warm the soup over low heat and add the cream, if you're using. The dairy is nice, but it mutes flavor and I like my soup intensely green and lemony.
4. Find your nicest soup plates and pour out a portion of the soup. Place a spoonful of the lemon butter in the middle of the soup. Makes about 4 reasonable servings.
In fall and winter, this soup is perfect with homemade buttermilk biscuits with shavings of good quality ham. In spring, I'd go with a chicken salad sandwich on white bread, cut into triangles.


text: Newsletter SUBSCRIBE ARCHIVE PRINT SUBMIT NEWS March 20, 2016 I have just returned from the Netherlands Contact Lens Congress (NCC) where nearly 1,600 practitioners met to discuss the current state of affairs in the contact lens arena. The Congress was extremely broad with topics and debates ranging from contact lens materials to care solutions to contact lens dry eye, myopia control, and specialty lenses. I was reminded that practitioners in other parts of the world are just as, if not more, enthusiastic about the state of the contact lens industry in addition to learning new opportunities to care even more for their contact lens patients. Jason J. Nichols, OD, MPH, PhD Myolite's Protective Lighting System Receives Its Second Patent The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a second patent to Myolite, Inc., which aims to reduce the incidence of myopia and regulate the progression of myopia through the use of protective lighting systems. The patent, titled Electromagnetic Radiation Refractive Therapy, was issued to inventor and vision scientist Jerome A. Legerton, OD. It claims that the intracellular signal transduction networks that regulate eye growth can be regulated by light sources when such light sources are controlled to deliver the proper chromaticity, amount, direction, and duration of light. The two most recent Myolite patents teach the concept of electromagnetic radiation refractive therapy and describe how specific light sources with emission in the visible spectrum can be placed in spectacle lenses, contact lenses and spectacle frames. A third pending patent teaches a Protective Lighting System primarily intended for classroom use to mitigate the decrease in time spent outdoors by a significant number of young school-age children. Myolite anticipates that the use of electromagnetic radiation refractive therapy, as described in the patents, will complement refractive error regulation by pharmaceutical intervention and peripheral defocus by way of corneal refractive therapy and multifocal contact lenses Along with Dr. Legerton, other key members of the Myolite team include Glenn Moro, former global head of Marketing, Innovation and Myopia Control for Alcon Vision Care; and British-trained optometrist and vision scientist, Mark Bullimore, PhD, who was recently appointed as executive director of the World Council of Optometry. ^ Back to top CooperVision Updates OptiExpert App CooperVision has launched a toric calculator to its OptiExpert app, the second major upgrade. The free app is available to download for iOS and Android devices and provides initial diagnostic contact lens suggestions from CooperVision's product families—Avaira, Biofinity, Biomedics, Clariti and Proclear. The new toric calculator offers an efficient way to calculate a suggested initial diagnostic toric contact lens for each patient. The practitioner simply inputs the patient's most recent spectacles prescription and the app suggests the toric contact lenses that may result in fitting success. OptiExpert also takes into consideration back vertex distance adjustment and on-eye orientation, while supporting any refinement required, based on the practitioner's observation of the toric axis location marker. The latest addition to the app complements the existing multifocal calculator, which is used by practitioners seeking to transition their presbyopic patients to multifocal contact lenses. The app's original functionality converts the Efron Grading Scales into a digital tool that is designed to be easier to use. It enables practitioners to grade patients against 16 sets of images and covers the key anterior ocular complications of contact lens wear. The app also includes the ability to securely store images of the patient's eye condition for easier comparison to other images on the scale. Practitioners are able to add their own comments following each patient evaluation, allowing a record to be compiled of each patient and any treatment prescribed. OptiExpert is available in 14 languages and 33 countries. To download the app, practitioners should speak to their CooperVision business development manager to obtain a password and then visit the App Store or Google Play Store. ^ Back to top AccuLens Inc. Announces EasyFit HD Scleral Lenses for Healthy Eyes AccuLens announced that high definition (HD) optics are now available in the EasyFit Scleral Lens for healthy eyes. According to the company, its proprietary HD algorithm on the front surface of the lens offers truer more accurate vision versus conventional lenses. It also boosts visual clarity in all visual conditions including low light situations. Objects will be sharper and more defined allowing patients better focus in all tasks. The introduction into HD optics reduces the common issue of spherical aberrations. ^ Back to top In Memoriam – Dr. Jean-Louis Blanchard Dr. Jean-Louis Blanchard, co-founder of Blanchard Contact Lenses, passed away on February 18 at the age of 91. Dr. Blanchard was one of the pioneers of "contactology" in Quebec. According to the company, he traveled the world to learn and share his knowledge of contact lenses. Dr. Blanchard's contributions to the contact lens manufacturing industry were recognized on many occasions with various awards, such as the American Academy of Optometry Founder Award. In addition, the Optometry School of University of Montreal considered him a founder of the profession of optometry. Memorial services were held on March 18 and 19. ^ Back to top In Memoriam – Dr. Jack Hartstein Jack Hartstein, MD, passed away on March 12 at the age of 91. He has served as a clinical professor of ophthalmology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Medical Director of the Contact Lens department at Barnes Hospital. He is former chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at St. Luke's Hospital. He has authored three textbooks on contact lenses for eye care professionals and was the former editor-in-chief of the Contact and Intraocular Lens Medical Journal. He was a member of the AMA, American Academy of Ophthalmology, Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmology, MD-OD Contact Lens Foundation of St. Louis, and an Advisory Board member of the GPLI. ^ Back to top See Your Interesting Case Photo Here in the Next Issue Have you seen an interesting case lately?

Barry Eiden, OD, FAAO Corneal Transplantation in Disease Affecting Only One Eye: Does It Make a Difference to Habitual Binocular Viewing? We need to remember that we do have two eyes that need to work together! When unilateral corneal disease is present that requires performance of penetrating keratoplasty (PK), we typically measure functional success by outcomes of best corrected visual acuity either with spectacles and/or with contact lenses. Often, these monocular acuity outcomes fail to provide information pertaining to performance under binocular vision circumstances. A recent study was published that prospectively quantified the contribution of the transplanted eye toward habitual binocular viewing in 25 cases with unilateral corneal transplants [40 years (32 to 42 years) and 25 age-matched controls [30 years (25 to 37 years)]1. The authors stated that in unilateral corneal disease, the transplanted eye may remain functionally inactive during binocular viewing due to its suboptimal visual acuity and poor image quality, vis-à-vis the healthy fellow eye. Binocular functions, including visual field extent, high-contrast logMAR acuity, suppression threshold and stereoacuity, were assessed using standard psychophysical paradigms. Optical quality of all eyes was determined from wavefront aberrometry measurements. Binocular visual field expanded by a median 21% (IQR: 18-29%) compared to the monocular field of cases and controls (p = 0.63). Binocular logMAR acuity [0.0 (0.0-0.0)] almost always followed the fellow eye's acuity [0.00 (0.00-0.02)] (r = 0.82), independent of the transplanted eye's acuity [0.34 (0.2-0.5)] (r = 0.04). Suppression threshold and stereoacuity were poorer in cases [30.1% (13.5-44.3%); 620.8arc sec (370.3-988.2arc sec)] than in controls [79% (63.5-100%); 16.3arc sec (10.6-25.5arc sec)] (p<0.001). Higher-order wavefront aberrations of the transplanted eye [0.34μ (0.21-0.51μ)] were higher than the fellow eye [0.07μ (0.05-0.11μ)] (p<0.001) and their reduction with RGP contact lenses [0.09μ (0.08-0.12μ)] significantly improved the suppression threshold [65% (50-72%)] and stereoacuity [56.6arc sec (47.7-181.6arc sec)] (p<0.001). The authors concluded that in unilateral corneal disease, the transplanted eye does participate in gross binocular viewing, but offers limited support to fine levels of binocularity. Improvement in the transplanted eye's optics enhances its participation in binocular viewing. Current metrics of this treatment success can expand to include measures of binocularity to assess the functional benefit of the transplantation process in unilateral corneal disease. The results of this study further support the benefit of rigid contact lens treatment following PK via their influence on reduction of high order aberrations and secondary improvement in binocular functioning as evidenced by improved stereoacuity and suppression threshold. So, although it is important to evaluate success of PK based on monocular visual performance, we need to keep in mind that most of our patients are binocular individuals and that in order to determine the true functional improvement following surgery, we need to measure binocular performance. 1.

Mastrota, MS, OD, FAAO Be a Crusader I can list dozens of references that demonstrate smoking to be deleterious to the health of the eye, including the ocular surface. A patient's smoking history is so important, that it is a core measure in reporting EMR Meaningful Use. It is a top query in a dry eye evaluation. My father, who was a smoker, died from lung cancer. My brother battled nicotine addiction for decades. I am a crusader for smoking cessation and my patients know it. Tobacco smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, including more than 70 carcinogens. Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States, nearly one in five deaths1. A powerful advertising campaign is currently running (at least in New York) that brings into sharp, brutal, and uncensored focus the multiple cancers associated with smoking. Cigarette smoking (and information is coming in from e-cigarettes) is associated with 16 types of cancers: nasal cavity and the sinuses, mouth, larynx, throat, esophagus, lung, liver, pancreas, stomach, urethra, bowel, kidney, cervical, ovarian, bone marrow, and bladder. Join me in this crusade. 1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Health Effects of Cigarette Smoking. Available at http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/health_effects/effects_cig_smoking. Accessed March 9, 2016. ^ Back to top An In Vivo Confocal Microscopic Study of Corneal Nerve Morphology in Unilateral Keratoconus In this prospective cross-sectional study, the authors examined corneal nerve morphology and its importance in unilateral keratoconus. In the study, 33 eyes of 33 patients with keratoconus in one eye (Group 3) were compared with the other normal eye of the same patients (Group 2) and 30 eyes of healthy patients (Group 1). All patients underwent detailed ophthalmic examination followed by topography with Pentacam HR and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). Five images obtained with IVCM were analyzed using an automated CCmetrics software version 1.0 for changes in subbasal plexus of nerves. An intergroup comparison showed statistically significant reduction in corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD) and length (CNFL) in Group 3 as compared to Group 1 (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, resp.) and Group 2 (p = 0.01 and p = 0.02, respectively). Though corneal nerve fiber length, diameter, area, width, corneal nerve branch density, and corneal total branch density were found to be higher in decentered cones, only the corneal nerve branch density (CNBD) was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.01) as compared to centered cones. The authors concluded that quantitative changes in the corneal nerve morphology can be used as an imaging marker for the early diagnosis of keratoconus before the onset of refractive or topography changes.

Please follow the instructions on this page if your child is under age 16, has never had a U.S. passport, and he/she has a claim to U.S. citizenship through birth in the United States, birth abroad to a U.S. citizen, or naturalization. The child must appear at the passport application appointment. The new passport will be valid for 5 years.
Application Requirements
Please bring the following to your appointment:
- Proof of U.S. citizenship for the child– one of the following original documents:
- U.S. Birth Certificate from the state where the child was born. The National Center for Health Statistics maintains a list of states' contact information for this purpose
- U.S. Consular Report of Birth Abroad
- If your child is under age 18 and was born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent, you should first apply
for a U.S. Consular Report of Birth Abroad and once that is approved you can apply for a U.S.
- U.S. Certificate of Citizenship. For certified copies, please contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
- U.S. Naturalization Certificate. For certified copies, please contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
- Passport of the U.S. citizen parent(s) if the child was included in that parent's U.S. passport
- Evidence of Parental Relationship
If you are not already submitting a U.S. Birth Certificate or U.S. Consular Report of Birth Abroad as proof of citizenship, you must submit evidence that lists you as the parent of the child applying for a passport. Examples of other documents that may be used as evidence of parental relationship are:
- Foreign birth certificate
- Adoption decree
- Proof of identity for the applying parents– one of the following original documents:
- Valid passport of any country
- Valid U.S. driver's license with photograph
- Valid U.S. or State government ID card
- U.S. military ID card

- Passport application: Complete and print the application using the on-line Passport Wizard, which will help you to complete the DS-11 form. It must be printed on separate sheets of paper; do not print this form on front and back of the same sheet. You should not sign the passport application until you appear at the U.S. Embassy.
- Parental Consent
Children under age 16 cannot apply for a passport by themselves. Both parents/guardians should appear in person with the child and provide consent, authorizing passport issuance to the child. If one parent/guardian is unable to appear in person, then the DS-11 passport application must be accompanied by a signed, notarized Form DS-3053: Statement of Consent (PDF 54 KB) from the non-applying parent/guardian – done within three months prior to the application. (Forms notarized overseas must be done at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate)
If the child only has one parent, the applying parent should submit evidence, such as a birth certificate or adoption decree listing only one parent, or a death certificate for the non-applying parent. Otherwise, evidence of sole authority to apply for the child must be submitted with the application in the form of an original version (not photocopy) of:
- Court order granting sole legal custody to the applying parent (unless child's travel is restricted by that order)
- A court order specifically permitting the applying parent to apply for the child's passport
- Judicial declaration of incompetence of the non-applying parent
If one parent is absent and cannot be located to provide parental consent in a timely manner, the applying parent must submit Form DS-5525 Statement of Exigent Circumstances – Issuing a Passport to a Minor Under age 16 (PDF 43 KB)
- Photo: One color 5 cm x 5 cm (2in x 2in) photograph
- See Photo Requirements. Local photography shops can provide the appropriate type photos.
- Fees: $105.00, payable in cash (either U.S. dollar or dinar)
Requesting an appointment
Once you have all of the above, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Appointments are generally available Mondays and Wednesdays.
Processing Time / Pick-up
Once your application is complete and approved, your new passport will be printed in the United States and sent to the U.S. Embassy in Algiers. You should allow 2-3 weeks for your application to be processed, and you will receive an email when your passport is ready for pick-up. You may designate in writing to have someone pick up the passport on your behalf.
If you have emergency travel and cannot wait for a full-validity passport to be printed in the United States, see our information on Emergency passports.

This week's hump day happiness is being provided by Lim Heng Swee.
Lim Heng Swee is an illustrator and graphic designer who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He studied to become an electrical engineer but quit to follow his passion for drawing. If you would like to read more about how he went from self-taught illustrator to over 80,000 followers on Facebook, check out his interview with Pikaland here. He aims to make people smile more in their everyday lives and has the best mantra:
"Doodling A SMILE"
I think Lim Heng Swee was made for hump day happiness!
It is no secret that I love dinosaurs! My house is full of dinosaur goodies, from dog toys and egg cups to dinosaur shaped lamps! The first card I bought that had been designed by Lim Heng Swee is this wonderful card called 'Dino hug'.
I bought it from OHH DEER and it definitely fits into their 'ungodly cuteness' category. His other designs feature puns (yes) and emphasise the importance of self love (yes! yes).
Lim Heng Swee has started to share illustrations on Instagram from his new personal project to create 100 book covers for his imaginary children's picture books. His first book was called Big and Small. He described it as "A simple book to explore big and small that sometimes big is not actually big, small will not be always small". The book cover featured an adorable illustration of an elephant and a mouse playing with balls. Check out his wonderful project for yourself here.
Lim Heng Swee gets lots of gold stars from the shell stealing slug club for his ambition to spread happiness, dinosaurs, puns and self love!

Negative space
If you heard the term "negative space" you might think that it refers to a black hole. In photography, and I would think in painting and drawing as well, it refers to the part of a composition that in and of itself appears to have no content. Yet, without that space, the quality of the work wouldn't be quite what it is. It is a method mostly used in fine art photography. When I shot California Lutheran University librarian Yvonne Wilber watching the action during the Muggle quidditch game that she helped coordinate on the Thousand Oaks campus, I like to think the use of negative space in my composition made this photo that much more interesting.

Twin Peaks: New Season Will be Eighteen Episodes Long
Last week the fans got the news they had been hoping for; David Lynch would be returning to the Twin Peaks revival to direct all the episodes. Better still was Showtime's announcement that the third season would be more than the original nine episodes as planned.
With virtually every living cast member confirmed to be back for the revival, Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne) and Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer) made a number of cryptic announcements during a Twin Peaks panel at Crypticon in Seattle.
David Lynch will direct 18 new episodes of Twin Peaks.
Angelo Badalamenti is composing brand new music for the series.
Twede's Cafe in North Bend, WA, will be restored as the original Double R Diner set.
Double the amount of episodes planned with David Lynch directing every episode? This is better than anything we could have hoped for and suggest those budget issues David Lynch referred to a few months back are now a thing of the past. Roll on 2016!

BONNYBOY I Bonnyboy
Oh, you never will amount to anything, Bonnyboy!" said Bonnyboy's father, when he had vainly tried to show him how to use a gouge; for Bonnyboy had just succeeded in gouging a piece out of his hand, and was standing helplessly, letting his blood drop on an engraving of Napoleon at Austerlitz, which had been sent to his father for framing. The trouble with Bonnyboy was that he was not only awkward――left-handed in everything he undertook, as his father put it――but he was so very good-natured that it was impossible to get angry with him. His large blue innocent eyes had a childlike wonder in them, when he had done anything particularly stupid, and he was so willing and anxious to learn, that his ill-success seemed a reason for pity rather than for wrath. Grim Norvold, Bonnyboy's father, was by trade a carpenter, and handy as he was at all kinds of tinkering, he found it particularly exasperating to have a son who was so left-handed. There was scarcely anything Grim could not do. He could take a watch apart and put it together again; he could mend a harness if necessary; he could make a wagon; nay, he could even doctor a horse when it got spavin or glanders. He was a sort of jack-of-all-trades, and a very useful man in a valley where mechanics were few and transportation difficult. He loved work for its own sake, and was ill at ease when he had not a tool in his hand. The exercise of his skill gave him a pleasure akin to that which the fish feels in swimming, the eagle in soaring, and the lark in singing. A finless fish, a wingless eagle, or a dumb lark could not have been more miserable than Grim was when a succession of holidays, like Easter or Christmas, compelled him to be idle.
When his son was born his chief delight was to think of the time when he should be old enough to handle a tool, and learn the secrets of his father's trade. Therefore, from the time the boy was old enough to sit or to crawl in the shavings without getting his mouth and eyes full of sawdust, he gave him a place under the turning bench, and talked or sang to him while he worked. And Bonnyboy, in the meanwhile amused himself by getting into all sorts of mischief. If it had not been for the belief that a good workman must grow up in the atmosphere of the shop, Grim would have lost patience with his son and sent him back to his mother, who had better facilities for taking care of him. But the fact was he was too fond of the boy to be able to dispense with him, and he would rather bear the loss resulting from his mischief than miss his prattle and his pretty dimpled face.
It was when the child was eighteen or nineteen months old that he acquired the name Bonnyboy. A woman of the neighborhood, who had called at the shop with some article of furniture which she wanted to have mended, discovered the infant in the act of investigating a pot of blue paint, with a part of which he had accidentally decorated his face.
"Good gracious! what is that ugly thing you have got under your turning bench?" she cried, staring at the child in amazement.
"No, he is not an ugly thing," replied the father, with resentment; "he is a bonny boy, that's what he is."
The woman, in order to mollify Grim, turned to the boy, and asked, with her sweetest manner, "What is your name, child?"
"Bonny boy," murmured the child, with a vaguely offended air――"bonny boy."
And from that day the name Bonnyboy clung to him.
