With another week of NFL action behind us, and more new data points to analyze and consider, I'm here to help you with your toughest Week 3 start/sit decisions.
If you're ever stuck between a few players, please feel free to reach out to me on twitter (@ScottBarrettDFB) early in the week, and I'll try to do my best to fit them into that week's column. Here were some of your most frequently mentioned players for Week 3:
Theo Riddick, RB, Detroit Lions (vs. Atlanta) – If in a PPR league, Riddick is a strong start in his (arguably) best matchup of the season. Last regular season, the Atlanta Falcons allowed the most receiving fantasy points per game (14.5) to opposing running backs. In the postseason, running back James White recorded 31 receiving fantasy points against the Falcons to help lead his team to a Super Bowl victory. In Week 1, the Falcons allowed 23.1 receiving fantasy points to Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen, and could have given up even more had Howard not dropped an end-zone target. Last week, Ty Montgomery gashed the Falcons for six catches on seven targets for 75 yards and a score. Riddick is tied for second on the team in targets with 10. If you're not starting him this week, I'm not sure when you would (outside of as a bye-week replacement).
LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills (vs. Denver) – To the detriment of many of my DFS lineups, I went nearly all-in on Ezekiel Elliott last week. My reasoning was Denver was a "reverse-funnel" defense last season, allowing the third-most rushing attempts per game (30.1) and the fifth-most rushing yards per game (130.3). This of course, didn't work out very well for me after Elliott totaled just eight yards on nine carries. Buffalo has been the league's fourth-most run-heavy offense this season, and McCoy ranks seventh in carries and fourth in targets, despite pulling himself off the field at times with various minor injuries. The matchup looks tougher on paper this season, with Denver grading out as our top run defense this year, but at the very least, McCoy should be held afloat on volume alone.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, Carolina Panthers (vs. New Orleans) – McCaffrey has struggled in efficiency, but has served in a more attractive role than I would have imagined – ranking 13th-best among running backs in expected fantasy points per game. I'm betting McCaffrey gets back on track this week against a New Orleans Saints defense that allowed the third-most receiving fantasy points to running backs last season.
J.J. Nelson, WR, Arizona Cardinals (vs. Dallas) – Last week, Nelson saw two red-zone targets, ranked fifth in yards in air, and fifth in expected fantasy points. The Cardinals were without John Brown, Jermaine Gresham, and David Johnson in Week 2. These three players account for over 35 percent of Carson Palmer's targets and yardage over the past three seasons. We know Bruce Arians targets his WR2s and WR3s at one of the highest rates in the league. Gresham likely returns in Week 3, but Nelson should remain a flex-worthy start so long as Brown remains out of the lineup. Through two weeks, Larry Fitzgerald ranks sixth in targets (19), third in red-zone targets (four), and third in end-zone targets (three), but has been woefully inefficient, catching just nine for 95 yards and no scores. You're likely starting him as well, and hoping his production catches up to his volume.
Mike Gillislee, RB, New England Patriots (vs. Houston) – Over LeGarrette Blount's New England career, he's averaged over a touchdown per game and 14.5 fantasy points per game when New England has won by a touchdown or more. Including plays called back due to penalty, Gillislee has dominated 10 of the Patriot's 12 fourth-quarter carries. Like Blount in 2016, he leads the league in opportunities inside the 5-, 10-, and 20-yard lines. This seems like the perfect opportunity for Gillislee to rack up touchdowns and play the closer role in a game the Patriots are favored by 13.5 points.
Chris Carson, RB, Seattle Seahawks (at Tennessee) – Through two weeks, Carson leads all Seattle running backs in yards from scrimmage with 149. The next-closest running back on the team – C.J. Prosise – has only 33. Eddie Lacy was a healthy scratch Sunday, while Thomas Rawls gained only two yards on six carries. Carson, meanwhile, had 20 carries for 96 yards, and was our fourth-highest-graded running back (via the run) for the week. It's still early but it appears safe to presume Carson has locked up the role of primary early-down ball-carrier for the league's most run-heavy offensive play-caller.
Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Minnesota) – In eight games over the past two seasons, Rodgers averages 17.1 carries per game when Doug Martin missed time. Rodgers draws a tough matchup against the Vikings, but with Sam Bradford either hobbled or out, I like his chances of racking up carries and scoring opportunities against an offense that totaled just 237 yards and nine points in Week 2.
Tarik Cohen, RB, Chicago Bears (vs. Pittsburgh) – Through two weeks, Cohen ranks fifth-best among running backs in expected fantasy points per game. He ranks fifth among all pass-catchers in targets with 20, and should continue to see a high target share given Chicago's horrifically poor wide receiving corps. As Evan Silva has already astutely pointed out, Jordan Howard led all running backs in drops last season, dropped a game-winning touchdown in Week 1, and in his next (and only) target in Week 2, dropped that as well. He's unlikely to see much more work in the passing game moving forward. Howard was hurt leading up to Week 2 and was seen with his arm in a sling after Sunday's game. Pittsburgh ranked bottom-five in receiving fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs last season. Even if Howard plays in Week 3, Cohen feels like a safe bet to outscore him. I'm benching Howard this week if I can help it.
A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (at Green Bay) – I'm a big believer in the old adage that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease," but especially so after an offensive coordinator was fired the following day after Green called for more targets. Green is a must-start against what's, at the very least, a bottom-three secondary in the league. Julio Jones racked up 95 yards on seven targets in the first half, and could have had a monster game had the team not passed the ball just eight times in the second half. The Bengals should be trailing and passing both early and often against the high-powered Packers offense this week. I saw his name mentioned several times on twitter this week, but to me, he's an easy must-start.
Isaiah Crowell, RB, Cleveland Browns (at Indianapolis) – Like with Green, Crowell called for more carries following Week 2's lost to the Ravens. He should get it this week in, potentially, the only game he'll have all year running behind positive gamescript. Cleveland is favored by a point on the road against the Colts, after facing two tough matchups against Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Crowell gets the Jets in two weeks, but outside of that, if you're not starting him this week, I don't know when you will.
Marqise Lee, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. Baltimore in London) – Lee ranks 14th among wide receivers in targets with 15. Lee will have to suffer through poor quarterback play throughout the season, but will serve as the team's WR1 for at least as long as Dede Westbrook remains on IR. The Jaguars are now a run-first offense, but Leonard Fournette and company could struggle against a Ravens defense that allowed the fourth-fewest rushing fantasy points per carry to opposing running backs last season. Lee is worth a start in deeper leagues this week.
Rashard Higgins, WR, Cleveland Browns (at Indianapolis) – Higgins was our ninth-highest-graded wide receiver coming out of college in 2015, but saw just 12 targets in 2016. With Corey Coleman on IR due to a broken hand, and Kenny Britt currently ranking as our worst-graded wide receiver via the pass this year, Higgins should continue to serve a massive role going forward. He saw 11 targets in Week 2 (sixth-most), even exiting the game in the early third quarter. It might be worth benching Higgins and waiting another week to make sure his role is secured, but he's still a strong start if desperate.
C.J. Anderson, RB, Denver Broncos (at Buffalo) – Through two weeks, Anderson ranks as our second-highest-graded running back, first in touches, and tied for first in red-zone opportunities. He faces a Buffalo defense that surrendered the third-most rushing fantasy points per game to opposing running backs last season. He's an every-week must-start going forward.
Javorius Allen, RB, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Jacksonville in London) –Allen played on 63 percent of Ravens' snaps on Sunday, after seeing 50 percent of the snaps in Week 1. In Week 2, Allen led the Ravens in carries and saw 71 percent of the team's running back targets. With left guard Marshal Yanda (our top-graded guard in each of the last three seasons) now out for the year, this could hurt the efficacy of the running game and offense as a whole, or it could help further cement Allen's place as the team's primary running back. With a less effective offensive line, the Ravens will need a running back they can trust in pass-blocking (his role 74 percent of the time), and one who can help alleviate pressure by going out for short passes (leads Ravens running backs with 21 routes, 12 more than next-closest). Allen saw 62 targets in 2014 (his rookie season) and seems far and away the most complete back on the roster – at least until the possible (but by no means guaranteed) return of Danny Woodhead. Terrance West is banged up with a thigh injury, and did not practice on Wednesday. Alex Collins could steal some work, but Allen looks like a strong play this week in what should (at least) be a close game against the Jaguars.
Davante Adams, WR/ Martellus Bennett, TE, Green Bay Packers (vs. Cincinnati) – With Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson either out or limited for Week 3, both Adams and Bennett become strong starts. Both players saw double-digit targets last week. Bennett ranks third among tight ends in routes run per game and third in targets with 15. Adams drew a tough matchup in Week 1 against Richard Sherman, and could see a good amount of Adam Jones (who ranks top-five in fantasy points allowed per route in coverage over the past three seasons), but volume should be enough to make him a strong play. Despite the injuries, Vegas still has Green Bay with the fourth-highest implied point total of the week.
Cole Beasley, WR, Dallas Cowboys (at Arizona) – If in a deep PPR league, Beasley is worth a look in the flex. He faced our top-two-graded slot cornerbacks in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Chris Harris Jr. in Weeks 1 and 2. Dez Bryant draws a brutal matchup against elite shadow cornerback Patrick Peterson who ranks best in fantasy points allowed per route in coverage over the past three seasons. Jason Witten draws a tough matchup against a Cardinals defense that allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends last season. Meanwhile, through two weeks, Arizona has surrendered the most targets (23) to wide receivers out of the slot, and I can certainly see that trend continuing this week.
Martavis Bryant, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (at Chicago) – Easily my worst call of last week was telling you to bench Bryant, based on a perceived tough matchup and poor production during the preseason and Week 1. Since last season, I've ranted about how Chicago has done a good job of stopping WR1s, despite poor cornerback-play, running cover-six at the highest rate in the league. I was careful not to bring this up last week when mentioning Mike Evans, and with linebacker Jerrell Freeman out. This would have made Bryant the superior matchup play over Antonio Brown, but I'm no longer convinced Chicago has the personnel to stop Brown. Still, Bryant is likely an every-week must-start, though he's likely going to be a streaky play on a week-to-week basis.
Streaming defenses – If streaming defenses this week, I'd look to target heavily favored teams up against offenses with a porous offensive line. The Eagles, Titans, Dolphins, Packers, and Steelers all come to mind.
Sammy Watkins, WR, Los Angeles Rams (at San Francisco) – Through two weeks, Watkins ranks just fourth on the team in targets with seven. Rookie Cooper Kupp again draws the more favorable matchup this week. 49ers slot cornerback K'Waun Williams has allowed 13 targets while in the slot, which ranks highest in the league. I'm keeping Watkins on my bench until further notice.
Tyler Eifert, TE, Cincinnati Bengals (at Green Bay) – I'm high on A.J. Green this week, but am off everyone else on the Bengals this week. The offense looks atrocious, ranking last in total points and eighth-worst in total yards. Eifert has caught just four passes for 46 yards and did not practice on Wednesday dealing with knee and back injuries. You're not cutting Eifert, but you're also certainly not starting him this week. Eifert is too heavily reliant on touchdown scoring, and offers little upside in games Cincinnati is not expected to win or rack up points. As 8.5-point underdogs with the second-lowest implied total of the week, Eifert is an easy fade.
Stefon Diggs, WR/Adam Thielen, WR/Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Tampa Bay) – In Case Keenum's last four games, he's averaged just 230 yards, 0.5 touchdowns, and 1.25 interceptions per game. No receiver saw more than six targets in an offense that tends to spread the ball around. The matchup isn't terrible, but I'm avoiding these players in Week 3 if Sam Bradford sits.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks (at Tennessee) – Last season, Tennessee was the league's most blitz-heavy defense and led in pressures per game. Last week, Wilson was pressured 21 times, or 46.7 percent of his dropbacks against the San Francisco 49ers. This was the most pressures recorded by San Francisco since 2014, who ranked tied for sixth-worst in pressures per game last season. The team recorded just six pressures on Carolina in Week 1. With Reuben Foster out in Week 2, San Francisco was likely fielding a bottom-five front-seven, and yet, Wilson couldn't do anything behind his offensive line. I'm not optimistic for Wilson in Week 2, and feel it's time to start exploring other alternatives.
DeMarco Murray, RB, Tennessee Titans (vs. Seattle) – Derrick Henry out-touched Murray 14 to 10 in Week 2. Through two weeks, he leads Murray in yards per carry 5.9 to 3.3. Murray, our third-worst-graded running back this season, is clearly not right, dealing with a hamstring injury. He failed to practice on Wednesday and is in a tough matchup against a Seahawks defense that ranked second-best in yards per carry allowed last season. I'm benching him if I can help it.
Dez Bryant, WR, Dallas Cowboys (at Arizona) – Bryant currently ranks second among all receivers in targets (23), fifth in yards in the air (276), and first in end-zone targets (7). In spite of this, he ranks just 19th in fantasy points with 25.2. To me, the volume is encouraging, while the lack of efficiency isn't surprising at all. As I wrote about this offseason, Bryant has been the league's most "cornerback-sensitive" wide receiver over the past three seasons. So far, Bryant has run 66 of 105 routes lined up against the following cornerbacks (all graded top-seven in coverage last season): Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Janoris Jenkins, Aqib Talib, and Chris Harris Jr. Unfortunately for Bryant, it doesn't get any easier next weekend. Against the Cardinals, he's likely to be shadowed by Patrick Peterson, who, over the past three seasons, ranks best among all cornerbacks in fantasy points allowed per route in coverage. The last time these two faced off, Peterson lined up across from Bryant on 35 of his routes, holding him to just two catches on 10 targets for 15 yards and a score. If starting Bryant this week, you're probably just praying for a score – though I'd try to bench him if I felt deep at the position.

The key is a combination of what, how much, and when to eat. Breakfast is your best chance to increase fiber in your diet and get in a serving of fruit and dairy. Kickstart your morning metabolism the right way by making sure you have some breakfast at home each day.
Oatmeal is one of the best breakfasts you can eat if you have diabetes. It contains 4 grams of fiber per cup, which will help keep blood sugar levels steady. And studies have shown that eating a cup of oatmeal five or six times a week can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 39 percent. Have non-fat milk or plain yogurt with your oatmeal. And choose an orange over orange juice. The actual fruit will make you feel more satisfied and full.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a designation that the U.S. government can offer non- citizens who are unable to safely return to their countries of origin due to political instability and violence or as a countries recovers from a natural disaster. As of October 2017, 437,000 people held a TPS designation in the United States from 10 countries—El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
TPS is one way the U.S. government can honor its moral and humanitarian obligation to provide safe haven to people who may be in danger. However, under the Trump administration, TPS has been drastically curtailed. Since August 2017, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has cancelled TPS for multiple countries, putting these people at risk of losing their livelihoods and being separated from their families. Congress must now act to ensure that the integrity of TPS is upheld and that hundreds of thousands of U.S. residents are not deported to dangerous conditions.
The consequences of TPS cancellation are grave and will affect people across multiple borders—cutting off critical economic lifelines and separating families. A recent Center for Migration Research study of TPS holders from Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador found that the vast majority pay income taxes. An estimated 273,000 U.S. citizen children have at least one parent who is a TPS holder. The remittances that TPS beneficiaries send home are often critical to sustaining the economies of their home countries. In El Salvador, remittances account for more than 17% of national GDP, with the vast majority coming from relatives in the United States. In Honduras, they account for 18% of GDP. This support is important not only for these countries' economies, but also for the security and prosperity of our shared region.

By Narendra Modi, 2018,
Penguin Books: Gurgaon, India. xi +193 PAGES.
'Balasya moolam vigyanam' is a famous vedic preaching that states the significance of systematic sciences in establishing success and strength. Unequivocally, law of parsimony needs to be retained while translating the scientific knowledge to everyman's wisdom for gaining strength. Ample knowledge lies in patches in various physical and life sciences, yet, customization and packaging of the same needs be done to suit the target population. And this is possible only by a Samaritan who has lived through those scientific principles, tested them with self as subject, and churned them as enablers for the common man. No heart would resist accepting these 'enablers' when they have been penned by a person who himself is a living example of rising from rags to riches in stature by his mere willpower, yes, there can be no better example than the current Prime Minister of India Sh. Narendra Modi to refurbish these enablers.
Keeping a close stock of the rising misconduct cases amongst the Indian youth with specific reference to exam mania, the author chooses to address the students portrayed as 'exam warriors' and preach them to fear not, embrace it, and move on. This book is a perfect example of translational and transformational knowledge. It subtly and systematically unfurls the core principles of stress-free living not only for students during their exams but also lead them to a healthy and meaningful life each day every time. The life enablers are in the form of 25 mantras which readily seems to be the valid sources to attain a 'Sat, Chit and Ananda' state (in this worldly form) for everyone— on the age continuum who has minimum basic experiences to life. The mantras cater to all aspects of a budding human being ranging from how to prepare for exams to becoming a resilient human being. The book is full of psychological interventions to improve exam performance. To highlight a few, the idea of highlighting text while writing answers might seem a simple act but this actually improves the performance and result of a student as per von restorff effect. Similarly making mind maps is actually a powerful mnemonics or memory improving strategy which can enable the student to get better results in exam and in life. Each prescribed mantra for improving exam performance epitomizes some or the other scientific phenomena in action. Basically they give a comprehensive step by step action plan in simplest ways to improve learning through PRO-FRO (planning, rehearsal, organization, feedback, review and overlearning), ultimately increasing the exam performance of students. Uniquely, the inclusion of simple and interesting activities has empowered every mantra to transform instantly the theory to practice. And on top of it, sharing the same through use of technology – developing an exam warrior community through Narendra Modi App is an innovative idea.
The concept of 'misery loves company' has been optimally utilised to make every student a beneficiary of the cohorts' effective coping strategies and life style which otherwise does not formulate the collective wisdom either due to over-confidence or poor self-esteem. The author has been lucid enough to explain complex principles of mind, body and soul while giving befitting examples of athletes like Bubka and Tendulkar, mathematician like Ramanujan, leaders like Ambedkar and self instances. Importantly, recommending 'kheloge to khiloge' and 'yogic exercises' tops the list of enablers as catalysts to success and character strengths. The author also did not forget to acknowledge the contribution of parents and teachers in this mission of cultivating 'exam warriors than exam worriers'. Although, every mantra is relevant but three uniquely stand out as, "Knowledge is permanent, pursue it", "The present is God's greatest present – Live here and now", and "Aspire, not to be, but to do". Needless to say, children should know and practice all of these enablers while adults should revise and relearn these enablers that have faded en route their journey to life.
Overall, this book is a much needed prophecy to develop the virtues and character strengths of India which is young and facing a transition between success and strength. It will enable in catching the young minds to develop a strong India.

American Crow
Facts about the American Crow
Family: Corvidae
Length: 43 to 53 cm
Wingspan: 84 to 102 cm
Weight: Male 458 g
Female : 438 g
- The tail is square or slightly rounded, and fans out during flight.
- Black beak, long and thick.
- Black feet.
- The primarily black feathers have green or violet metallic tints
The American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is often mistaken for the raven, which is much larger. The American Crow is among the most widespread birds in North America, commonly found all across Canada (except on the West Coast) and throughout the United States (except in desert areas). Farmland where there are wooded areas is an environment particularly favoured by crows.
The nest is a solid construction of branches in the centre of which is a floor of dried earth covered in a carpet of grasses, moss, leaves, strips of bark, etc. Measuring some 55 cm in diameter, the nest is hidden very high up (6 to 11 m from the ground) in trees with dense foliage.
The babies are pink at birth. Fed by both parents, they leave the nest when they are 5 weeks old. The plumage is a brownish black. Although they can reproduce at the age of two, some offspring may stay with their parents until they are 4 years old. The crow may build its nest in the same tree two or three years in a row.
Pillagers with a purpose
Farmers hate crows because they can devastate their fields, be they corn or other grain crops. Since the crow will also eat harmful insects and garbage, its usefulness far outweighs the nuisance it can cause. Very cunning and cautious, these birds are hard to catch and have learned to make the most of their contact with human beings.
Varied diet
A crow will eat just about anything: insects, snakes, eggs, baby birds, rodents, fruits, grains, carrion, spoilt food and garbage. It can fill its mouth with a surprising amount of food, which it will carry to its young or store in caches.
Avian troublemakers
The crow is one of the most intelligent birds in the world. It knows how to use objects as tools and can even chase away an intruder by dropping stones on it while in flight. It can imitate the cries of other animals and, reportedly, even reproduce the sounds of certain words.
Crows sleep in flocks in tall trees that are out-of-the-way. A "congregation" of several hundred thousand members can be seen at times in these community dormitories. This behaviour occurs mainly during migration and in winter.
When spring arrives, the crows gather in small groups and the mating season begins. Such gatherings generally consist of a mating pair and their offspring from the previous year.
Noisy and quarrelsome by nature, crows are surprisingly quiet while the nests are being built and the eggs laid and incubated. During this time, crows are more aggressive than usual and any intruder will be quickly driven off. Crows are monogamous and a pair will generally mate for life. Nest-building takes one to two weeks. Several nests may be started but never finished.
As soon as they are able to fly, the fledglings follow their parents everywhere, constantly crying out for food. Once the young have learned to feed themselves, the family will join up with other groups, which will merge to form large flocks.
Highly adaptable, crows can and do dwell in a variety of environments: forests, farmers' fields, pasturelands, cities, towns, garbage dumps. Their preferred environment is an agricultural zone complete with wooded areas and crop fields.
The feathers of adult crows moult completely every summer.
Crows are the only members of the Corvidae family that migrate. Their migratory pattern will vary from region to region. In mid-October, the birds leave in flocks, some headed for the southern regions of Canada, some to the southern US states, others to the north of Mexico.
If crows manage to find an adequate food supply in a particular area, they tend to remain there year round.
Throughout winter, crows will stay together in large flocks. In areas where there is a lot of snow, great numbers of birds can be found in and around city dumpsites. Towards the end of winter, the large flocks will break up into smaller gatherings of four or five members.
From the end of February to the end of March, the crows, which have wintered in the south will return to their summer homes in the north.

Nissan Announces Leaf Attack Plan
With all the news surrounding the Chevrolet Volt, Nissan had to conjure up something of their own. Today, at the Plug-In 2010 Conference, Nissan North America's executive vice president, Carlos Tavares, announced that the Leaf's battery pack will be covered for quite some time, eight years in fact or 100,000 miles. Not surprisingly, that is the same amount of coverage that GM offers with the Volt.
Nissan has also announced the Leaf's big rollout plan. The car will launch in December in California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Tennessee. These are all the states that really matter, except Tennessee. The orders from these five states will make up the EV Project.
Following that first wave of Leaf based attacks; the EV will be sent to Texas and Hawaii in January of 2011. Once those two states are dealt with, the Nissan will swarm over to North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, and Alabama in April. The rest of us in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the other 'not worth it' states will get the car later in 2011.
There is plenty more Leaf based information in the press release. Hit the jump for the release.
Press Release
Today, nearly 17,000 future Nissan LEAF drivers are learning when the world's first affordable all-electric, zero-emission vehicle will be available in their markets. Consumers who have placed reservations for the Nissan LEAF received a communication today regarding market timing and next steps in ordering the all-electric vehicle.
Nissan LEAF first will be available to consumers in December, in California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Tennessee. These areas are home to The EV Project – the largest electric vehicle and infrastructure deployment ever undertaken. The EV Project is a result of a partnership with charging infrastructure provider ECOtality and partially funded by a grant from the U.S. Dept. of Energy. Customers in these first five launch states, who represent more than 55 percent of total Nissan LEAF reservations, will be able to place firm orders for the Nissan LEAF starting in August.
Nissan LEAF will be introduced to Texas and Hawaii shortly thereafter, in January 2011; North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina and Alabama follow in April 2011; and be rolled-out to the balance of the nation beginning in Fall 2011 with availability in all markets nationwide by the end of that year.
"We are pleased to see so many people making a choice for a zero-emission future by placing reservations for the Nissan LEAF," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America. "Consumer feedback and market readiness have been key drivers in developing our phased rollout. Nissan is able to target areas of customer demand for early launch, while continuing to work in future markets to ensure the continued success of electric vehicles."
Nissan North America also is informing its consumers that the lithium-ion battery pack that powers the Nissan LEAF will carry a warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles – matching U.S. market competitive conditions.
Consumers who have reserved the Nissan LEAF online will be invited to place orders through their dealer for the vehicle in advance of market roll-out timing, allowing time for consumers to select a dealer and assess home charging needs. Nissan is continuing to take reservations for the Nissan LEAF through its website, www.NissanUSA.com. Interested consumers are encouraged to place a reservation, which entails a $99 fully refundable fee to secure a spot on the list to place an order.
The reservations process has educated Nissan about more than just geographic distribution. Some information we've learned about future Nissan LEAF drivers includes:
Favorite color: The favorite color of Nissan LEAF owners is blue. More than 30 percent of reservations are for blue Nissan LEAF electric cars. Silver is a close second, at about 26 percent. The remaining reservations are close to evenly split among red, black and white.
Trim level: About 75 percent of Nissan LEAF orders are for the SL trim level, which adds a rearview monitor, solar panel spoiler, fog lights, and automatic headlights.
Home and Parking: About 75 percent of people who placed reservations own a single-family home. About 68 percent have attached garages, while an additional 18 percent have detached garages or carports. Home ownership and dedicated parking are important factors for Nissan LEAF drivers who plan to charge their vehicles at home.
Purchase time: About 67 percent of Nissan LEAF reservations holders have indicated that they'd be ready to purchase or lease a Nissan LEAF within one year of placing the reservation. An additional 24 percent indicated they would be ready in one to two years.
Interests: Several primary interests are inspiring people to order a Nissan LEAF. Cited interests include energy independence (35 percent); environmental consciousness (34 percent); and cost/fuel economy (20 percent).
In North America, Nissan's operations include automotive design, engineering, consumer and corporate financing, sales and marketing, distribution and manufacturing. Nissan is dedicated to improving the environment under the Nissan Green Program 2010, whose key priorities are reducing CO2 emissions, cutting other emissions and increasing recycling. More information on the Nissan LEAF and zero emissions can be found at www.nissanusa.com.

Protesters demonstrating against ICE shutdown highway lanes in Troy
TROY - Advocacy groups blocked highway lanes while protesting President Trump's immigration policies and the separation of families Saturday morning.
Protesters gathered outside the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, joining in on the many rallies against the Trump administration across the country.
Protesters chose to rally outside of the sheriff's office because the facility holds seven Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees.
Redditt Hudson, an activist from St. Louis, said he feels everyone should be concerned about the human rights violations happening across the U.S.
"These are crimes against humanity being committed on our watch. You are involved as a citizen whether you like it or not. You stand by and do nothing, or you engage and try to out things back in the right track. You have to fight this egregious policy," said Hudson.
The protest began with community leaders speaking, then they headed to Highway 61. Demonstrators barricaded the roads, blocking drivers going southbound. Drivers were able to continue their routes by driving onto the median to pass protesters. State troopers later came to the scene to clear the roads.
Richard Buthod, a protester, carried a sign reading, "Just stop following orders." Buthod said he held the sign towards the windows of the sheriff's office because he wanted detainees and officers to read his message.
"Following orders is not an excuse to abandon your humanity. Following orders is an excuse to not face your own humanity. And that's not a good enough way to live," Buthod said.
Lincoln County Sheriff John Cottle declined to do an interview but said as of last Thursday, his facility had seven adult ICE detainees. He said they were brought to the sheriff's office after authorities caught them committing other crimes, then they discovered those arrested were illegal immigrants.

Report: For mobile, consumers want better batteries, processors
When it comes to mobile tablets, consumers are looking for specific innovations from manufacturers. Specifically, they want better battery life and faster mobile processors. That according to a recent TechBargains survey.
According to the TechBargains report:
• 87% of shoppers interested in a next-gen iPad & iPad Mini want better battery life
• 76% want USB ports and 71% want better speakers (iPad Mini)
• 80% of iPad buyers want USB ports and 63% want it to be lighter
"Before it was introduced the iPad Mini received lackluster interest in comparison to other Apple products, according to a previous TechBargains' survey," said Yung Trang, President, TechBargains. "Once consumers got their hands on it and saw the value, our recent data shows popularity for the iPad Mini has nearly doubled."
As for how the mobile space is breaking down the Millennia Media 2012 Year in Review SMART report shows that 12 mobile verticals saw greater than 100% YoY growth (within the Millennial Media platform); the Retail and Restaurant vertical spent the most with the Millennial Media space.
The report further shows that 40% of CPG spending included location based targeting and 37% offers app downloads as a call to action.
And looking ahead, comScore has released the 2013 Mobile Future in Focus which predicts that people will consume even more mobile content in 2013 than they did in 2012 - which is earmarked as a 'watershed year' for mobile. The research shows that mobile the half the US population now have a smartphone.
"2012 was a milestone year for the U.S. smartphone market as it finally surpassed 50 percent market penetration and now enters the "late majority" stage of the technology adoption curve. The number of smartphone subscribers has increased 29 percent from a year ago and 99 percent from two years ago. Not only does the market's current ownership profile reflect a smartphone majority, but 72 percent of all newly-acquired devices are now smartphones," was written in the report.

- We've been getting a ton of questions asking us how we've been acquiring the low flying drone shots that we've been publishing.
- These incredible, unique shots are from a Rylo 360º Camera on a selfie-stick coming out of our backpack.
- The video above displays exactly how to get these great drone-like shots with the Rylo cam.
- Using the Rylo camera as a helmet cam is considerably better than a standard helmet cam because you can still have the Rylo camera look in any direction you want in post production.
The Rylo 360º camera films an entire globe at all times.
- Then, in post production you can easily make the Rylo look any direction you want on that globe.

Every 51 minutes, unusual person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for approximately one-third of all fatalities.
You can find more drunk driving statistics upon the Mothers next to Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the approach of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns produce a result to educate American drivers virtually drunk driving? This article will find the money for a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private captivation groups, advocating for widespread tribute of something called buzzed driving. thus what is it?
Buzzed driving is a very easy concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed shortly by the bloodstream and common tests, in imitation of a breathalyzer, can performance the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving past a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or well ahead is illegal in every state. At that concentration, drivers something like invariably experience sedation and slower greeting times. In additional words, its simply dangerous to drive as soon as that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is clearly having a BAC subjugate than 0.08% but unconventional than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont bend The mannerism I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One report from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than moderate drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far more risky than driving sober.
The real suffering is that American operate and public policy tend to see on 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. under that stock and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a smash increases steadily and smoothly from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no sudden transition taking into consideration comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is safe in the supreme analysis.
The bank account from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal insult Prevention. You can entre a summary here.
The Worlds Stance upon Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a legal limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances valid limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia every have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized with harsh fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds and no-one else regions to use 0.08% BAC as its legal limit.
Has The stir Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public sustain announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving vigilance campaign. on their website, they tab that their ads reached approximately one half of all American adults higher than the age of 21. And that there was a significant accumulation in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned very nearly the issue of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And while public attentiveness is very important, Americas legislators have nevertheless to respond to our supplementary bargain of buzzed driving. In fact, in the same way as most allow in governments deliver to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers under 21 or purpose understandably that they wont tolerate any driver in the manner of a BAC higher than 0.08%.
Only times will say whether or not make a clean breast governments follow through upon the current research. encourage in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas real limit to 0.05%, but no give leave to enter has still to attend to this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another tribute has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of substitute tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol hurt and abuse. The underlying premise to this raise a fuss is that some drunk drivers pretense vehicles even if impaired because (in so many words) they cant assist it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might acknowledge some impaired drivers off the road in the thesame gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In pedigree with recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more bill than contrast amongst alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This parentage of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a laboratory analysis released by the National Institute upon Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of all drivers who were killed in crashes and tested determined for drugs then had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the hardship is mixed. And the solution might be, too.

Kylie Jenner was spotted enjoying lunch with a mystery man on Friday amid rumours she's dumped boyfriend Tyga .
The star stepped out with friends in Los Angeles as reports continued that she's ended her relationship with the rapper.
The star, who looked dressed down in an all black ensemble, covered her face as she left a restaurant with her pals and didn't appear in the mood to be photographed.
She later took to Twitter to vent her frustration at the paparazzi: "Paparazzi are so disrespectful on a whole other level. I'm ok with what they do I've accepted it. Just respect me & we will be all good
Continuing, the 18-year-old wrote: "I've seen 2 car accidents in the last WEEK caused by paparazzi."
She later dropped a string f-bombs during a SnapChat video where she complained about photographers following her inside a shopping mall.
Attention around the teenager will only intensify following claims she's ended her romance with the rapper.
Insiders told RadarOnline the couple are on thin ice after rumours he'd exchanged "flirty texts" with another girl.
"He broke down in tears and begged Kylie to tell him the truth about where they stand," a source reportedly told the website. "Because he has no idea."
"In the space of a week she's dumped him, got back with him, told the world they're getting married and then decided to 'cool things off' and threw him out of her house."

2018 marks my fifth year as Chairman of the Property Marketing Awards, and my seventh on the PMA committee. I have seen many memorable campaigns during that time, as well as literally hundreds of campaigns in Europe, America and here in the UK during my long property career.
Using a campaign budget wisely has always been a challenge, long before the digital era. On one occasion I recall supplementing funds by letting a client's building in New York to a film company. The film turned out to be the blockbuster Trading Places with Dan Ackroyd and Eddie Murphy – I was not unhappy to be asked by the client to stay on the set for the duration of filming!
I wouldn't trade places from the PMA, I meet so many engaging and creative people and it is a lot of fun. We recognise, however, that your work is serious – you are charged with the responsibility of promoting projects and demonstrating a clear return on investment.
We listen and often embrace your suggestions. The most significant was from a previous winner and one time committee member, Nick Hughes of SEGRO. Nick suggested that the judging panel should be entirely independent of the committee and the livery. So under the chairmanship of Kevin Duncan, and currently led by Thomas Brown, we have established a stella cast of experts from a variety of industries judging your work using their experience of marketing global brands. Do keep the suggestions coming in!
Winning an award is one way in which clients, and in particular new clients, may judge your work. We know how important the judges' comments are to you. Come awards night, for us the shortlist and winners are the stars of the show. We do, however, have another impeccable and professional presenter to take you through the runners and winners in 2018 – watch this space.
As always, a huge thank you to our supporters and partners and everyone on the committee who work so hard all year round to make these awards a success. This year we have the largest sponsor line-up which reflects the ongoing growth in the standing of these awards and the desire of industry leaders to be associated with them.
Good luck with your entries in 2018!
Colin Peacock
Chairman, PMA

Plan your shipments
In CrowdFarming, you can find projects whereby you receive a single shipment for your adoption, or projects where you can receive the harvest in several deliveries. This difference usually depends on whether the Farmer's products mature all at once or gradually.
Projects with one shipment
At the time of adoption or renewal, you must indicate the shipping address of the box with the products. Depending on the shipping country you choose, the price of the adoption may vary. In these cases you will not need to do anything else to receive your box. When the FARMER has collected the harvest, you will receive your shipment at the address you have indicated. The approximate shipping date can be seen at the time of placing the order. We say approximate because the weather conditions can move forward or delay the harvest time and shipment.
Projects with multiple shipments
When, for example, you adopt a fruit tree, the Farmer may offer you the possibility to reserve all or only part of the harvest of your tree. At the time of the adoption, you decide how many boxes you want to reserve and you only pay for the produce, not for the shipments. From your private area, you can plan the shipments of the reserved boxes to the address of your choosing.
The Farmer will reserve the boxes that you ordered until the end of the season but if you do not consume them, you will not have to refund the adoption money. We recommend you plan your shipments as soon as you adopt or renew your productive unit. This way the Farmer can organize the collection and you will not lose the harvest that you reserved.

I'm trying to hit my protein goals with whole foods, but it's a bit of struggle as a vegetarian (I already include tons of dairy, nuts, beans, etc.). Lately I've been needing about 30% of my protein to come from supplements when I come up short. A couple of questions -
1. Is 30% from supplements high?!
2. Supplements in a day typically break down as: 1 scoop egg white protien, 0.5 scoop whey protein, 0.5 scoop vegan protein (complete protein, I've only added it for variety). Would I be better off with more whey and maybe adding some casein, or does it even matter?
Feeling good and eating tons of healthy food, just curious about this :)

Bolton Council launches UK's first multi-purse smart card
28 September, 2009
category: Contactless, Financial, Transit
The first multi-purse smart card with a pay-as-you-go travel purse has been launched in Bolton, England as a result of a partnership between the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive, the Bolton Council, Arriva buses, ticketing systems provider Parkeon, Applied Card Technologies, a UK company specializing in the installation and operation of smart card transaction systems, and sQuid, the e-money payments network.
The multi-purse smart card, which enables card holders to access Council services, use an eMoney retail purse and ITSO (Integrated Transport Smartcard Organization) enabled pay-as-you-go bus travel purse.
Card holders can now pay for bus travel on over 30 Arriva bus routes in Bolton with their card, in addition to accessing council services and shopping at local participating stores. Children in Bolton with the council issued BSmart card can now pay for their bus journey to school, entrance to a leisure center, pay for a snack and take the bus home, without ever needing to carry cash. Parents can top up their child's card online and view their transactions should they want to.
The pay-as-you-go transit purse has been specially adapted by sQuid to work on any ITSO smart card and provides a secure platform for customers and operators to make electronic transactions.

SHOCKING! Additi Gupta Quits Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil!
In Star Plus' latest offering, Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil, a high-voltage drama is going on of late. Misunderstandings have cropped up between Naina and Raghav. Naina is working under Raghav and he is not leaving a single chance to insult her.
The show, which began on a grand note, has not lived upto its expectations. Things doesn't seem to get better for the show, as Additi Gupta, who plays the role of Sanjana has quit the show! Shocking, isn't it?
It has to be recalled that the actress was keen on playing a negative role in the show. But, what made her quit the show? Read on to know....
Additi Gupta Quits PMHMD
In an interview to a leading entertainment portal, the actress spoke about leaving the show. She told, "I was too excited about playing a next-door-girl as it allowed me to break away from my image in 'Qubool Hai'. However, I wasn't happy with the way my role was shaping up."
Additi Says, Her Character Didn't Get Justice
"What was promised wasn't executed and hence, the decision. My character didn't get justice. The time leap reaffirmed my decision, as we weren't even aware of it. I feel that the story was taken ahead by several years too soon. I had no issues with the new antagonist (Adaa Khan) being roped in, as my character remained in focus."
Additi Shot Her Last Episode On Feb 14
Furthermore, "The new track was something I wasn't in tandem with. Instead of being a piece of furniture on the show, I thought it was better to quit. I shot my last episode on February 14."
Additi & Rizwan's Break up
Of late, the actress is in news for her alleged break up with boyfriend Rizwan Bachav. Rizwan and Additi were in a relationship for more than 2 years. The actress has constantly been linked to her PMHMD co-star, Laksh Lalwani, who plays the role of Veer.
Here's What The Actress Has To Say...
"The reason I broke up with Rizwan is personal and I don't want to talk about it. I don't want people to make assumptions and judge either of us. I never confirmed I was dating him, then why should I talk about my break-up?"
'Am I Not Allowed To Be Single?', Asks Additi
"I hang out with Arjun (Arjun Bijlani, her PMHMD co-star), too. Nobody linked me with him. Is it because he is married and Laksh isn't? I may be single, but that doesn't mean I am available. Am I not allowed to be single?", concludes the actress.
For the uninitiated, sources had stated that post her break up with Rizwan, the actress found solace in her co-star, Laksh. As per the reports, "Additi and Laksh have a strong bond, which is very much visible. They are always spotted together on the set, and prefer to spend quality time with each other."
But, Laksh denied all the rumours. He told, "Nothing is going on. She is just a co-actor I am working with. There is nothing beyond this. I find it really funny when I get linked with girls. Earlier it was Rashmi leaving home for me. And now, it is Additi leaving Rizwan for me. I do not connect with it. Presently, I am focussing on my work and that's about it."
Stay tuned for more updates...

With so many talent shows going on it's hard to stand out, but this opera singer had no such issues. Cristina Ramos stepped on stage and sang some solid opera. But then an AC/DC riff came on. What happened next was simply AMAZING!
Her performance went so well that she got the much coveted golden buzzer, sending her straight through to the semi-finals.


text: Music from Victory Records—home to Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, and other bands not named for days of the week—has been dropped from Spotify. The label claims this is the result of a dispute over royalties, as it seems instead of barely paying the artists, the streaming service isn't paying the artists at all. Rolling Stone quotes a label statement saying, "Victory Records' catalog was pulled … as a result of Spotify not properly paying publishing revenues … in blatant violation of US Copyright laws." It seems a bit more complicated than that, however, as Spotify offered a remedy, but it was a contract that would have violated a previous agreement the label had with digital rights service Audiam. Victory's artists are hardly the first to part ways with Spotify, but the service doesn't seem to be hurting as a result. Overall streaming revenue outpaced revenue from CD sales for the first time this year, possibly because so little of that revenue goes to the artists.

Cambridge research could lead to the 'ultimate battery'
Supplementary content information
EPSRC-funded researchers at the University of Cambridge made the headlines last week by successfully demonstrating a new design for lithium-air batteries that could overcome several of the problems holding back the practical development of the technology.
The results of the research were reported in Science and were picked up by the BBC, Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Independent and Daily Mirror, as well as many specialist publications.
The team reported that they had developed a working laboratory demonstrator of a lithium-oxygen battery which has very high energy density, is more than 90 per cent efficient, and, to date, can be recharged more than 2,000 times.
Lithium-oxygen, or lithium-air, batteries have been touted as the 'ultimate' battery due to their theoretical energy density, which is ten times that of a lithium-ion battery. Such a high energy density would be comparable to that of gasoline - and would enable an electric car with a battery that is a fifth the cost and a fifth the weight of those currently on the market to drive from London to Edinburgh on a single charge.
Their demonstrator relies on a highly porous, 'fluffy' carbon electrode made from graphene (comprising one-atom-thick sheets of carbon atoms), and additives that alter the chemical reactions at work in the battery, making it more stable and more efficient. While the results, reported in the journal Science, are promising, the researchers caution that a practical lithium-air battery still remains at least a decade away.
What we've achieved is a significant advance for this technology and suggests whole new areas for research - we haven't solved all the problems inherent to this chemistry, but our results do show routes forward towards a practical device, said Professor Clare Grey of Cambridge's Department of Chemistry, the paper's senior author.
Many of the technologies we use every day have been getting smaller, faster and cheaper each year - with the notable exception of batteries. Apart from the possibility of a smartphone which lasts for days without needing to be charged, the challenges associated with making a better battery are holding back the widespread adoption of two major clean technologies: electric cars and grid-scale storage for solar power.
In their simplest form, batteries are made of three components: a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolyte,'' said Dr Tao Liu, also from the Department of Chemistry, and the paper's first author.
In the lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries we use in our laptops and smartphones, the negative electrode is made of graphite (a form of carbon), the positive electrode is made of a metal oxide, such as lithium cobalt oxide, and the electrolyte is a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent.
The action of the battery depends on the movement of lithium ions between the electrodes. Li-ion batteries are light, but their capacity deteriorates with age, and their relatively low energy densities mean that they need to be recharged frequently.
Over the past decade, researchers have been developing various alternatives to Li-ion batteries, and lithium-air batteries are considered the ultimate in next-generation energy storage, because of their extremely high energy density. However, previous attempts at working demonstrators have had low efficiency, poor rate performance, unwanted chemical reactions, and can only be cycled in pure oxygen.
What Liu, Grey and their colleagues have developed uses a very different chemistry than earlier attempts at a non-aqueous lithium-air battery, relying on lithium hydroxide (LiOH) instead of lithium peroxide (Li2O2). With the addition of water and the use of lithium iodide as a 'mediator', their battery showed far less of the chemical reactions which can cause cells to die, making it far more stable after multiple charge and discharge cycles.
By precisely engineering the structure of the electrode, changing it to a highly porous form of graphene, adding lithium iodide, and changing the chemical makeup of the electrolyte, the researchers were able to reduce the 'voltage gap' between charge and discharge to 0.2 volts. A small voltage gap equals a more efficient battery - previous versions of a lithium-air battery have only managed to get the gap down to 0.5 - 1.0 volts, whereas 0.2 volts is closer to that of a Li-ion battery, and equates to an energy efficiency of 93 per cent.
The highly porous graphene electrode also greatly increases the capacity of the demonstrator, although only at certain rates of charge and discharge. Other issues that still have to be addressed include finding a way to protect the metal electrode so that it doesn't form spindly lithium metal fibres known as dendrites, which can cause batteries to explode if they grow too much and short-circuit the battery.
Additionally, the demonstrator can only be cycled in pure oxygen, while the air around us also contains carbon dioxide, nitrogen and moisture, all of which are generally harmful to the metal electrode.
There's still a lot of work to do, said Liu.
But what we've seen here suggests that there are ways to solve these problems - maybe we've just got to look at things a little differently.
While there are still plenty of fundamental studies that remain to be done, to iron out some of the mechanistic details, the current results are extremely exciting - we are still very much at the development stage, but we've shown that there are solutions to some of the tough problems associated with this technology, said Grey.
The authors of the paper acknowledge support from the US Department of Energy, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Johnson Matthey and the European Union via Marie Curie Actions and the Graphene Flagship. The technology has been patented and is being commercialised through Cambridge Enterprise, the University's commercialisation arm.

You can get a tattoo done in literally hundreds of art styles, varying from artist to artist, but a few really stand out as memorable. Some are steeped in a complex historical past, while others seem to have no rhyme and reason at all, and simply popped up out of nowhere! We're going to be going over these memorable tattoo styles and inspecting what kind of meanings they have. Each style also has different types of tattoo techniques, which we will be looking at as well. Whether you are looking for an art style for yourself, looking into expanding your technique, or simply interested in tattoo styles—this article should satisfy your curiosity!
New School Tattoo Styles
New School is, undoubtedly, the most popular tattoo style of this time period. It evolved from a more traditional tattoo style after the art of tattooing became more popular and demand for high-quality tattoos rose dramatically. Although they appear more complex than more traditional tattoos, they can still be quite quick to receive. This style imitates the work of airbrush artists, quickly constructing a color image with smooth shading and just enough color to get the image across.
You hardly need numbing cream, since the needle set barely grazes your skin in some areas. The lines are thick and the characters will have larger heads, humongous eyes, and exaggerated features. New School tattoos for men have an emphasis on darker lines and shading, but are otherwise about the same. Because of the way they work, blending more than one color together at a time can be tricky business.
Traditional Tattoo Styles
Traditional tattoo styles got their start in…Hawaii! Tattoos were popular enough that sailors visiting the area just had to get a tattoo as a souvenir. We came to know these tattoos as Sailor Jerry Tattoos, and there is already a huge article and gallery that details these tattoos! Tattoo machines had been recently invented, allowing tattoo artists to give a crisp tattoo in a short amount of time. While lidocaine cream was not around to stave off the pain, plenty of aftercare tattoo ointment existed to stave off infection at this time.
These traditional tattoo styles normally had a steady line width and a minimal amount of colors that would fill areas of the tattoo. The only extra colors used were red, green, and blue—although red was undeniably used more than the other three combined. These tattoos focused on sailing motifs, which includes sparrows, pin-ups, anchors, sailing ships, eagles, roses with knives, and more.

Traditional and Neo Japanese Tattoo Styles
Traditional Japanese tattoo styles have some themes and standards that are very set-in-stone. They have two types of ink, maximum—black and red—and the inks were always solid, with no shading. The art of tattoing is called irezumi, and there are many other words reserved just for tattoo terminology. Tattoos that are just the linework, with no shading and detail, are called sujibori. There is a distinction between hand-tattooing and machine tattooing, with hand-tattooing remaining the most prevalent technique among many tattoo artists, for tradition's sake.
Neo Japanese tattoos shake things up by using the same themes and motifs that Japanese tattoos use and illustrating them with a more modern, American style. The images look less like a wall scroll and more like a typical American tattoo, despite the fact that the poses and subject matter are the same. This can be accomplished by making the tattoo's subject more realistic, adding in gradiated shading, and throwing in tons of colors with gradients. None of these things are present in traditional Japanese tattoo styles, but Neo Japanese tattoo styles can get away with it because they still retain the incredible detail that Japanese tattoos are known for.

Illustrative Tattoo Styles
After New School tattoo styles, illustrative tattoo styles should be what you are most familiar with. It has just as many colors as it needs, along with lines that look like they could be a drawing on a piece of paper. If the tattoo has colors, then mixing them is no problem, and the shading will be gradiated. If the tattoos are black and white, they will feature minimal shading, if it includes shading at all. Many tattoo artists choose to stipple instead of using gradiated shading, allowing these monochrome tattoos to match far longer than they otherwise would. With unique tattoo designs, there is no precedent for what a tattoo should look like, so tattoo artists can take artistic liberties with their illustrative tattoo style.
Modern Tattoo Styles
A Modern tattoo style does not necessarily refer to what's currently in style. The modern art movement started in the early 20th century. It expanded as new technology and printing methods became available. Modern tattoos imitate this style. Using vivid color and heavy line work, it resembles the exact same form of art that inspired it. Black and red—the two standard colors of text printing—are prevalent. The black part of the tattoo looks like paint on the skin. Sometimes, artists even include a bit of ink splatter or trails to emphasize the grungy look.
Artists use halftones or cell shading for modern gradients. Printers developed halftones to save on ink and keep only four types of ink and pigment on-hand. You see this technique most often in Sunday comics, at least if you squint hard enough. Dots pack together to combine and create colors. Spreading them out causes the colors to appear lighter. Cell shading uses solid colors and inks, without blending anything at all, which is a common technique in comics that had the same printing restrictions, but didn't like the way halftones would blend the colors. Modern tattoos could also have prominent text in typewriter fonts, along with a general appearance of being stamped. Artists use specialized tattoo chairs and tattoo beds to deliver the best experience to their client.
Illustrative Tattoos
As you can tell, these styles are just scratching the surface of what's possible in the tattoo world. With hundreds of tattoo artists, you get hundreds of tattoo styles! Tattoos are a form of art, so it makes sense that there are so many different styles and techniques. The history behind each style doesn't matter quite as much as the aesthetic of the tattoo design. When picking a style for your tattoo design, go for the one you enjoy looking at. The tattoo's style represents the most important aspect of your favorite tattoo!

Talk:Skybox (2D) with Terragen
From Valve Developer Community
Terragen, is not freeware, and making a sky 960 and then resize it to 1024, is not good at all. /hipshot
- "Terragen is free for personal non-commercial use." —Ts2do 19:12, 16 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- Of course, but you cannot use all functions if you don't have the full version, then its no longer freeware. And that is why he suggest using 960^2 instead of directly 1024^2 since the latter is not possible in the trial version. And as I see it, its better creating 512^2 skies with terragen if you can't make 1024^2 skies. All Valves skies are 512^2 and they work good. --Hipshot 05:27, 17 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- Ok, now I changed the resolution from 960 til 512 and 2048 til 1024. Also, I removed the section about sizing up 960^2 textures to 1024. Its not good to rezise a texture upwards, the added information when sizing up a texture just makes it worse quality vise. Making a envmap 2048 with terragen is not recomended, the huge size is insane to render if you want maximum quality also, times six, since you need six textures to make a env map. The quality of terragen skies in high resolution can also be debated since its current cloud rendering, which is kinda bad. Six material textures, at 2048^2 would use a insane amouth of memory compared to 1024^2 and not to say 512^2.
Correct Terragen 2 camera angles
I've noticed that (at-least when using TG2) the camera angle aren't correct; they need to be offset. Here's the proper angles:
0 270 0 Front 0 0 0 Left 0 90 0 Back 0 180 0 Right 0 0 90 up 0 0 -90 Down
This will make it so when the Sun's heading is '0', the light_environment should also be "-[height] 0 0" I don't know why this is, or maybe I'm wrong; but it seems to work properly so I can copy directly from TG2 into source and the sun will aim correctly. --Glitchvid 02:02, 27 October 2013 (PDT)
