1491s Play With Themselves: Imagery and Reclamation
Five questions with 1491s
We're motivated by our desire to see Native People in a modern and vital context. Also, girls may be watching.
What do you do for a living, and why?
The 1491s are an artist collective of American Indian writers, filmmakers, visual and traditional artists, and language advocates. Using social media as a tool to disseminate our content worldwide, our videos have been viewed over two million times and we have built a Facebook fan base of over 15,000.
As to "Why?"….ugh.
What TED Talk do you think everyone should watch?
I'm going to be honest here. Half our group had no idea what TED was before we got asked to speak. And the other half still doesn't know. So, I'm gonna go ahead and say our videos, obviously. Outside of that, Whisper Kish's TEDx Talk from Albuquerque was great.
Listen, there are five of us in this group. Nailing down one TED Talk we all enjoyed above others could be the subject of an entire TED Talk on chaos and individual preference.
Whisper Kish: Violence against Native women is not traditional.
Why are you excited to speak at TEDx Manitoba?
Who says we are? No, we're excited because TEDx is a forum that is outside of Indian Country. Any chance we get to share who we are with the world at large, we jump. We're thrilled to be able to play with people's perceptions of Indians (Natives, Indigenous American Indians…whatever).
That your idea of Natives as a waning, sad, nearly extinct and mythical species is suuuuper wrong. Kiss our happy, healthy, thriving, modern-living, real-world donkeys.*

Warning Issued by FDA
The College would like to update all fellows and members that, on 14th December 2016, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning regarding repeated or lengthy use of general anesthetic and sedation drugs during surgeries or procedures in children younger than 3 years or in pregnant women during their third trimester may affect the development of children's brains. This warning will result in a labelling change for 11 common general anaesthetics and sedative agents that bind to GABA and NMDA receptors, including all anaesthetic gases such as Sevofurane, and the intravenous agents propofol, ketamine, barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Fellows are advised to balance the benefits of appropriate anesthesia in young children and pregnant women against the potential risks, especially for procedures that may last longer than 3 hours or if multiple procedures are required in children under 3 years. Discuss with parents, caregivers, and pregnant women the benefits, risks, and appropriate timing of surgery or procedures requiring anesthetic and sedation drugs. For further detail, please refer to the following links.
- FDA review results in new warnings about using general anesthetics and sedation drugs in young children and pregnant women

Finely chop chives. Peel and shred potatoes.
Transfer shredded potatoes to bowl with cold water, stirring until water turns cloudy. Drain and rinse potatoes well under cold water. Transfer potatoes to kitchen towel and twist over sink to wring out as much liquid as possible. Transfer potatoes back to bowl and toss to loosen, then transfer back onto towel and wring out liquid again.
Transfer potatoes back to bowl and toss with salt and a couple grinds of black pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until bottom forms a deep golden-brown crust, approx. 5 min. Use a large plate to flip hash browns in one piece and cook the other side, approx. 5 min. more, adding more vegetable oil if needed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Fry bacon in the same skillet set over medium-high heat until crispy. Add butter to skillet and fry eggs in butter until whites are set and edges are crispy. Divide bacon, eggs, and hash browns evenly among serving plates and garnish with chives, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!


We're at the end of another interesting week in Mtito Andei. We finished our first dam at Malaika on Monday, which was great to see. On Tuesday we went straight to work on our second dam, with Wi Kwatua Ke Ambani Community Group. The new community greeted us with great spirit and enthusiasm, and a lot of dancing! We were overjoyed to find out the Cheesy Munyao – the legend – was sticking by us to help motivate us and work tirelessly. After two long, hard working days we had a day off on Friday to visit Kumbuni Primary School. We taught classes and played games. It was a really humbling experience and very thought provoking. We've also spent a lot of time decorating the walls of our Shamba with coloured hands and quotes.
We returned to the dam-site on Saturday morning. Sadly there was no cement, and we were only able to collect rocks and sand. We headed off to a local football pitch after lunch to play against a team made up of people we work with at the dam, and their friends. Despite this being Team Quest's premiere performance – and the occassional wandering cow – we played well, only losing 4-3.
Saturday night was a night to remember. In the spirit of making things up (last week we had fake birthdays!), we held a fake wedding. Not only did we have a Bride and Groom (Hamish proposed to Miriam with a ring in a pile of cement on Wednesday), but a best man (Johnno) and a series of ridiculous relatives (Team Quest full involvement!). The veil made of toilet paper, and the hen and bachelor parties made it a night to remember!
Tindi continues to impress us with her cooking (and one-liners!) Also, the ongoing game of assassins has kept everyone on edge, with people dropping like flies. It's hard to believe we're going into our third and final week in Mtito – but it's good to know that this time next week we'll be on Safai in Tsavo.

SilverStone released its first Titanium PSU series, which is made by Enhance Electronics. The smallest Strider Titanium unit will be under our scope today. Besides high efficiency it also offers compact dimensions and a fully modular cable design.
SilverStone is putting a lot of effort into building PSUs with high power density, and its new Strider Titanium line is a clear example of this since its members feature a shallow depth of just 150mm. The OEM of these units is SilverStone's favorite, Enhance Electronics. Apparently, Titanium-class efficiency is the new hotness, and every company competing in the PSU space has to have a product able to satisfy the 80 PLUS organization's strictest standard.
That's easier said than done though; a sophisticated platform is needed, along with expensive parts. As a result, Titanium-rated units cost way more than Gold or even Platinum ones. So if you don't want to pay a premium price, then you'd better shop for a good Platinum-rated unit. They're only a little less efficient than 80 PLUS Titanium PSUs, but they're a lot more affordable. Unfortunately, until a new 80 PLUS certification is released, don't expect the top tier to drop in price.
It's also true that analog circuits have reached their limits, and it is really hard to squeeze higher efficiency levels out of them. Only the use of digital circuits will allow for better performance, and until the production lines mature (and production costs relax a bit), we just don't see a new efficiency level happening any time soon.
The Strider Titanium line consists of three members with capacities ranging from 600W to 800W. In this review, we're looking at the smallest model, the ST60F-TI. It features compact dimensions, fully modular cabling and a quality Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan.
After a quick look at this unit's specifications, the 120mm fan stands out the most, since smaller fans make more noise. Hopefully that won't be the case here. Because the ST60F-TI is 150mm long, SilverStone could have gone with a 140mm fan, so we wonder why it didn't. Nonetheless, thanks to its low capacity and high efficiency, the thermal loads that the fan will have to face are modest, so there should be no need for an aggressive profile.
Besides Titanium efficiency, the PSU also features modular cabling and compact dimensions. The maximum operating temperature at which it can deliver its full power continuously is limited to 40 °C, whereas the ATX spec recommends 50 °C. When it comes to protection features, the ST60F-TI includes everything except over-current protection (OCP) for the +12V rail. In single +12V-rail designs, over-power protection (OPP) takes the place of OCP, partially because OPP cannot protect individual connectors and the corresponding wires against overloads.
Finally, the provided warranty is quite long at five years, although some companies provide even longer coverage ranging from seven to 10 years. The competition is stiff when it comes to support, especially since companies like EVGA and Corsair protect their high-end models with 10-year warranties.
The single +12V rail can provide 48A of current. Though the max combined capacity of the minor rails might look low, it'll still suffice for any modern system capable of being driven by a 600W PSU. We would like to see a stronger 5VSB rail with at least 3A max current output. As for the -12V rail, nobody cares about it any more. It is just there to make the PSU compatible with the ATX spec.
Of major concern is the lack of a second EPS connector. Surely 600W of power isn't a lot for two EPS connectors and a couple of energy-hungry graphics cards at the same time. However, some enthusiasts might want a highly efficient, mid-wattage PSU for their X99-based platforms, most of which need EPS and ATX12V connectors. So, there should be an extra cable configuration option allowing for two EPS and two PCIe connectors.
The good news is that there is an extra eight-pin socket on the modular panel. If you purchase an additional EPS cable, you can ameliorate SilverStone's oversight. We just think the company should have included it, given the price it's asking for this unit.
The number of SATA connectors is satisfactory, and cable length is good (the EPS cable is especially long). Moreover, the distance between connectors is ample. Finally, the majority of connectors use standard 18-gauge wires.

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention relates to an electrical household appliance, in particular, a ventilator hood, with a voice operating unit having a microphone and a method for operating the appliance.
[0003] International publication WO 01/59763 A1 discloses an electrical appliance with a voice input unit. Connected downstream of the voice input unit is a voice processing unit that uses spoken input commands to derive control signals for controlling functions of the household appliance. An operational status detection unit is provided that detects the operational status of the household appliance or other noise sources, and reports to the voice processing unit. The voice processing unit undertakes an interference noise correction only if a noise source is switched on. The prior art method for voice input with correction of interference signals is characterized in that the operational status of at least one noise source that interferes with the voice input is interrogated during the voice input for controlling an appliance, and in that the voice processing unit undertakes an interference noise correction only if a noise source is switched on. Thus, if a voice signal is submitted to the voice processing unit for recognition, an attempt is not made in each case to undertake an interference noise correction. This leads to an improvement in the voice recognition in all cases in which the voice signal is not loaded at all by interference noises. This is because the quality of the voice signal is reduced by the effort to remove nonexistent interference noise from the voice signal, or to take correcting account of it.
[0004] It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide an electrical appliance, in particular a ventilator hood and a method for operating the appliance that overcome the hereinafore-mentioned disadvantages of the heretofore-known devices and methods of this general type and that improves the reception of voice signals in the household field based upon other data.
[0005] With the foregoing and other objects in view, in an electrical household appliance, there is provided, in accordance with the invention, a voice-activation unit including a voice operating unit having a microphone and a motion detector for detecting motion and generating a motion detected signal when motion is detected, the motion detector connected to the microphone and supplying the motion detected signal to the microphone, the microphone being switched on only during reception of the motion detected signal.
[0006] In the case of an electrical household appliance according to the invention, in addition a motion detector is associated with the household appliance, and the microphone can be switched on only during reception of a signal from the motion detector.
[0007] Misuse of the voice input unit is greatly reduced by the intervention of the motion detector.
[0008] Specifically, when voice operating units are used the technically achievable reliability of the recognition of commands varies depending on the type of voice operating unit, but is specified by the manufacturers as being 95% at best. This means that the frequency of non-recognition or of erroneous recognition of a command is 5% under ideal conditions. This value is further increased by extraneous noises and other sources of influence such as, for example, echoing, reflections in the room, a radio that is switched on, etc. Because of these conditions, voice control systems cannot be used in safety-relevant applications. It is precisely here that the invention provides a remedy by pursuing an entirely different way of obtaining information. As a result of combining a motion detector with the voice input unit, the voice evaluation unit becomes active only when both a movement of a body emitting infrared radiation, and a voice signal are present.
[0009] The use of a motion detector prevents the switching on of a body emitting infrared radiation, for example, an incandescent lamp below the ceiling of the room, from activating the microphone, and the latter from then picking up unwanted signals and switching on or switching off the household appliance erroneously.
[0010] On the other hand, an object that is moving in the room, for example, a ball thrown by a child, cannot switch on the voice operating unit because, in an advantageous development of the invention, the sensor simultaneously expects the presence of an infrared source in addition to the movement signal. Consequently, only a person can switch on the microphone of the voice operating unit through the sensor and, subsequently, control the device with the aid of voice signals.
[0011] In accordance with another feature of the invention, the motion detector is an infrared signal receiver. The motion detector is advantageously a sensor that reacts to signal changes.
[0012] In accordance with a further feature of the invention, the motion detector activates a timer that sets the microphone for a preselected on period. The microphone, thus, expects that a voice command will be input within a specific time after it has been activated. The voice operating unit is actuated only when the combination of movement of a person and subsequent inputting of a voice command is present. As a result, even inadvertently switching on the microphone cannot lead to maloperation because it is always the combination of movement and voice that is expected to control the household appliance through the voice operating unit.
[0013] Particularly suitable is a sensor that has a directional characteristic for its radiation, in particular, infrared radiation. As a result of such a directional characteristic, the sensor switches on the microphone only when the infrared source, or the source emitting a different radiation, appears within a specific area of the room. In particular, the directional characteristic limits detection in a room to above a prescribed height. The activation of the microphone can, therefore, be restricted to the presence of adults, who reach into the detection range of the sensor because of their body size, whereas children cannot trigger the sensor because of their lesser size.
[0014] Particularly suitable is a device that additionally has an image detection system, for example, a camera or a CCD array, that recognizes specific persons and is switched on when the motion detector, in particular, the infrared signal receiver, identifies a source that is moving and emitting infrared signals.
[0015] In accordance with an added feature of the invention, the motion detector is a sensor reacting to signal changes, in particular, an infrared sensor, and the sensor has a diaphragm through which infrared radiation is passed to the sensor.
[0016] In accordance with an additional feature of the invention, the motion detector detects motion in a room and has a directional device limiting detection by the motion detector to a given area of the room.
[0017] In accordance with yet another feature of the invention, the microphone is associated with a voice recognition unit that activates the voice evaluation unit only when a voice spectrum stored in the voice recognition unit becomes capable of being recognized by it.
[0018] In accordance with yet a further feature of the invention, the voice operating unit has a memory storing at least one voice spectrum, a voice recognition unit is connected to the microphone and to the memory and is programmed to recognize the at least one voice spectrum, and a voice evaluation unit is connected to the voice recognition unit and is activated only when the voice recognition unit recognizes the stored voice spectrum.
[0019] With the objects of the invention in view, in a ventilator hood, there is also provided a voice-activation unit including a voice operating unit having a microphone, a motion detector for detecting motion and generating a motion detected signal when motion is detected, the motion detector connected to the microphone and supplying the motion detected signal to the microphone, and the microphone being switched on only during reception of the motion detected signal.
[0020] With the objects of the invention in view, there is also provided a method for operating a household appliance, in particular, a ventilator hood, including the steps of detecting movement of a person or an object with a motion detector for detecting motion and generating a motion detected signal when the motion is detected, switching on a microphone for a prescribed period of time dependent upon the motion detected signal, analyzing voice signals detected by the microphone, and passing the detected voice signals to a voice evaluation unit only when a voice is detected and activating a function of the household appliance.
[0021] The invention provides a method for switching on a household appliance, in particular, a ventilator hood, with the aid of a microphone, in which a motion detector detects a movement of a person or an object and, based thereon, the microphone is switched on for a prescribable time as a consequence of an output signal generated in the motion detector.
[0022] In accordance with a concomitant added mode of the invention, voice signals detected by the microphone are analyzed and, if a voice is detected, the detected voice signals are passed to a voice evaluation unit for evaluation and a function of the household appliance is activated with the voice evaluation unit dependent upon the evaluation of the detected voice signals.
[0023] Other features that are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.
[0024] Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in an electrical appliance, in particular a ventilator hood and a method for operating the appliance, it is, nevertheless, not intended to be limited to the details shown because various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
[0025] The construction and method of operation of the invention, however, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] FIG. 1 is a fragmentary, perspective view of a configuration according to the invention including a ventilator hood and a cooking surface;
[0027] FIG. 2 is a simplified block circuit diagram of components of the voice operating unit of FIG. 1; and
[0028] FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic illustration of an operation mode of the motion sensor of FIG. 1.
[0029] Referring now to the figures of the drawings in detail and first, particularly to FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown a cooking surface 1 mounted in a cutout of an operating plate 2. Various cooking zones 4 are marked on a cooking surface plate 3, which is made from glass ceramic, in particular. Depending on the inputs through an operating and display unit 5 of the cooking surface 1, non-illustrated cooking vessels that are to be placed on the cooking zones 4 can be heated in a conventional manner by heating elements that are disposed underneath the cooking surface plate 3, through a control unit. Here, the operating and display unit 5 is present for reasons of comfort and safety. It may be reduced to the minimum that is prescribed for safety equipment, in the case of which the overall configuration also has a voice operating unit 6 as described below.
[0030] In the cooking surface 1 there is also a transceiver unit 7, which communicates in a conventional manner through a transmission link 8, operating in a wireless fashion, with a ventilator hood 9 disposed above the cooking surface 1. The transmission link 8 can be implemented, for example, as a radio link in this case. To communicate with the cooking surface 1, the ventilator hood 9 has a transceiver unit 10. The ventilator hood 9, likewise, has operating and display elements 11, through which functions of the ventilator hood 9 are actuated and/or displayed. To permit a voice input, the voice operating unit 6 has a microphone 12 that is disposed spatially downstream of an optical sensor 13. The sensor 13 is configured as a motion sensor and reacts to moving infrared sources. When the sensor 13 has detected such a moving infrared source, that is to say, a human, it switches on the microphone 12. Signals picked up by the microphone 12 are fed to a voice recognition unit 14. The voice recognition unit 14 is connected to a voice evaluation unit 15, which derives a signal for controlling the ventilator hood 9 and/or the cooking surface 1 from the received voice signal. In the latter case, this signal is transmitted to the cooking surface 1 through the transmission link 8.
[0031] The mode of operation of the voice operating unit is explained below with the aid of the block diagram of FIG. 2. When the optical sensor 3 has detected a moving heat source, the sensor 3 generates an output signal for a timer 16. The timer 16 switches on the microphone 12 for a period of time that is prescribed or can be prescribed by the operating elements 11, and, so, the microphone picks up voice signals. The microphone 12 passes the voice signals on to the voice recognition unit 14, which checks whether a competent person attending for the purpose of giving commands is present or the person is a stranger. Stored for such a purpose in a memory 17 associated with the voice recognition unit 14 are speech patterns of those persons who come into consideration as operators for operating the voice operating unit 6. Thus, stranger is defined, for example, as a person who is not an operator. If the voice recognition unit 14 has been able to recognize such a person as one of the operators, the voice signals are passed on to the voice evaluation unit 15, in which the suitable signal is, then, generated to actuate the ventilator hood 9 and/or the cooking surface 1.
[0032] The optical sensor 13 illustrated in FIG. 3 is disposed behind a diaphragm 18 that ensures that the sensor 13 has the desired directional characteristic. The distance of the sensor 13 from the diaphragm 18 sets the size of the detection region. As a result of the diaphragm 18, the infrared light emitted by a child 19 is no longer detected by the sensor 13, whereas the infrared light generated by an adult 20 passes through the diaphragm 18 onto a sensitive surface 21 of the sensor 13 and, thereby, activates the timer 16. The microphone 12 is, then, activated for picking up voice signals for a specific period of time.
[0033] The diaphragm 18 is, preferably, also adjustably disposed, in order to adapt it to the size of operators that come into consideration as well as to the desired spatial directions from which signals are to be received.
[0034] It holds, in general, that the geometry of the sensor 13 can be of variable configuration so that the angle of detection can be varied through the diaphragm 18 and the range of detection can be varied through a non-illustrated joint.
[0035] The intervention of the timer 16 results in a time control by which the influence of interference variables is strongly suppressed. Noise sources not situated in the range of the sensor 13 are completely suppressed. The voice recognition unit 14 checks whether or not the acoustic signal can originate from a "living" source. Maloperation by children is largely constrained or even excluded. In accordance with the invention, it may be assumed that a real "command source," that is to say, an operator, is present in the room. It is, thereby, possible to use voice operation even for safety-relevant systems such as cookers and ovens because the commands are checked by the competent person present. It is possible largely to suppress inadvertent actuation of the system.

GARFIELD COUNTY, Colo. -- A father and mother and their 10-year-old twins were killed in a plane crash in Garfield County on Friday.
Jeff Makepeace, 47, and Jennifer Makepeace (formerly: Hickey), 45, were longtime residents of Fort Collins. Jeff Makepeace was the owner of Lind's Plumbing and Heating in Fort Collins.
Their children, Addison and Benjamin, were fourth-graders at Bauder Elementary School in Fort Collins.
The family was flying from Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport to Moab, Utah, when the plane, a Cirrus SR22, went down about 10 miles north of Glenwood Springs, according to a family member who is a FOX31 employee.
"Our family's hearts have been broken by this tragic accident. Our grief cannot be defined and will be prolonged. But our memories of this amazing family will last forever.
"The family would like to thank all of the first responders from the Garfield County Sheriff's Office and search-and-rescue crews who braved trying and difficult conditions to reach the crash scene. We are eternally grateful for their efforts.
"We would also like to thank the Garfield County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Lou Vallario personally visited the family to offer his complete support. His entire staff has been diligent, respectful and extremely compassionate. Their support has been invaluable during this difficult time.
"Finally, the Garfield County Coroner's Office, headed by Robert Glassmire, has been instrumental for us. Mr. Glassmire was at the scene and he provided the family with as much information that he could. We thank him for everything he and his office have done."
The families have asked for privacy during this difficult time.

During the 1950s, the most successful and most famous competing bodybuilders[according to whom?] were Bill Pearl, Reg Park, Leroy Colbert, and Clarence Ross. Certain bodybuilders rose to fame thanks to the relatively new medium of television, as well as cinema. The most notable[according to whom?] were Jack LaLanne, Steve Reeves, Reg Park, and Mickey Hargitay. While there were well-known gyms throughout the country during the 1950s (such as Vince's Gym in North Hollywood, California and Vic Tanny's chain gyms), there were still segments of the United States that had no "hardcore" bodybuilding gyms until the advent of Gold's Gym in the mid-1960s. Finally, the famed Muscle Beach in Santa Monica continued its popularity as the place to be for witnessing acrobatic acts, feats of strength, and the like. The movement grew more in the 1960s with increased TV and movie exposure, as bodybuilders were typecast in popular shows and movies.[citation needed]

The first U.S. Women's National Physique Championship, promoted by Henry McGhee and held in Canton, Ohio in 1978, is generally regarded as the first true female bodybuilding contest—that is, the first contest where the entrants were judged solely on muscularity.[13] In 1980, the first Ms. Olympia (initially known as the "Miss" Olympia), the most prestigious contest for professionals, was held. The first winner was Rachel McLish, who had also won the NPC's USA Championship earlier in the year. The contest was a major turning point for female bodybuilding. McLish inspired many future competitors to start training and competing. In 1985, a movie called Pumping Iron II: The Women was released. It documented the preparation of several women for the 1983 Caesars Palace World Cup Championship. Competitors prominently featured in the film were Kris Alexander, Lori Bowen, Lydia Cheng, Carla Dunlap, Bev Francis, and McLish. At the time, Francis was actually a powerlifter, though she soon made a successful transition to bodybuilding, becoming one of the leading competitors of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Public health also takes various actions to limit the health disparities between different areas of the country and, in some cases, the continent or world. One issue is the access of individuals and communities to health care in terms of financial, geographical or socio-cultural constraints to accessing and using services.[54] Applications of the public health system include the areas of maternal and child health, health services administration, emergency response, and prevention and control of infectious and chronic diseases. https://buzzingoffer.tumblr.com/

HOW CAN I PERSONALIZE MY RUG?
The design, colour and/ or size are customizable. You can boffer us your own drawing and the design team can guide you and advise you on the feasibility of the project. We do not do besoke below 2m2. All the bespoke rugs generate a pre-payment of 30% on the total price, 100% if the rug costs less than 300€. The balance is to be paid before shipment.
WHAT RUG CAN BE MADE IN A ROUND?
All the rugs in our collection can be made in a round way.
I DO NOT LIKE THE COLOUR, CAN IT BE DONE IN A DIFFERENT COLOUR?
ON WHICH RUG CAN WE DO A PINDING?
Colour, size, material what to choose?
WHAT COLOUR OF RUG SHOULD I CHOOSE?
WHAT SIZE OF RUG TO CHOOSE?
A simple and effective method is to use sheets of newspaper to illustrate the rug to the floor. it is generally recommended to extend your rug by 60 cm of your furniture. For a table, it is recommended to provide enough elngth to be able to move the chairs without the foots being caught in your rug, About 80 centimeters on average and can go up to 120 cm dependng on the model of your chair. Large rugs are ideal to delineate multiple areas within a large room.
ANGELO RUGS designs its rugs following 3 manufacturing techniques: hand knotted, hand woven and hand tufted. These 3 types of production offers varied interests. The knotted hand rugs have the advantage of being very fine and proposing fine and detailed designs. All associated with a great resistance. It is also common to say that a knotted rug lasts a lifetime. They will be adapted to places of passage if their material is not too fragile.
The tufted rugs have a very high density. Associated with noble and soft materials, this result will be very comfortable. This production technique introduced more recently makes rugs more affordable than knotted hand rugs. They can not be washed and can not rest on a soil that has just been cleaned.
WOVEN rugs are simply made on a loom. The main advantage of this technique is the speed of production once the colors are tinted. On the other hand, the drawing is more limited than a knotted hand or tufted hand.
HOW TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTY OF MY CARPET?
- Move the rug to other places from time to time and place it in different positions to avoid wear due to daily actions.
- Vacuum the rug at least once a week.
- Take care of your rug with a specialized professional once or twice a year.They will extend his life and bring back shine to the colors back to life, clean it thoroughly and give you the best advice.
HOW TO REMOVE A MARK?
- Take action quickly and take a white towel or cloth to absorb the liquid immediately.
- If it is a wool carpet delicately dab your mark with mild shampoo diluted with a little water. Let it dry and the markwill be diminished or gone.
Angelo Rugs recommends the starterset of James (27,95 €).It contains the first aid in case of accident of marks on rugs or wall to wall.
CAN I PASS THE VACUUM ON A RUG?
It is recommended to vacuum to remove dust, which in time becomes encrusted and decreases the natural brightness of your rug. The answer is yes you can vacuum your rug, be careful to always vacuum in the direction of the hair and without aggression especially if it contains bristles.
HOW TO MITIGATE ODORS LEFT ON MY RUG?
At first, vacuum, then sprinkle your rug with baking soda and let it work a day or all night. Once the time has elapsed, gently vacuum all the powder with your vacuum cleaner.(For more details, contact us to receive your maintain guide against the odours.
CAN I APPLY A PRODUCT TO WATERPROOF THE RUG?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR RUGS?
- For the shipping costs, consult us, the fees vary according to the country and the size of the rug.
Your rug is guaranteed 2 years for normal use and maintenance by a specialist, Our rugs are submit to a strict quality control. We make sure to ensure a consistent quality and we offer high quality rugs through the use of qualitative materials selected with care and hand production.

I now have the Yahoo! audio player enabled as a plugin for my blog (thanks, Greg Wythe!) and it works a little differently. Basically, as long as this is the top audio file on my index page, you ought to see a "Play" control button next to the link above. If not, or later this week when I have another interview published, simply clicking the link ought to play the audio via the player. If something goes wrong as can happen when implementing something new, let me know.
You can still find a list of all interviews I did for this primary cycle, plus other related information, on my 2012 Harris County Primary Elections page and my 2012 Texas Primary Elections page, which I now need to update to include fall candidate information.

5 things to know about COVID-19 this week
Some key metrics improve, but the pandemic continues
By Carter Hyde
The coronavirus landscape is always changing. That's why each week, Crosstown breaks down five things to know about COVID-19 in Los Angeles County. For specific neighborhood information, check out the Crosstown coronavirus interactive map.
1) New guidelines
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently revised its COVID-19 guidelines to further protect individuals from coronavirus infection. Anyone who receives a positive test is recommended to quarantine for a minimum of five days. On day six, an individual can return to "normal" life if they receive a negative test result, experience improvements in symptoms, and are fever-free for 24 hours.
Still, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health encourages individuals to wear a well-fitted mask upon exiting isolation and when in public spaces until day 10.
Getting tested remains vital to slowing the virus' spread and protecting those around you, according to health officials. Individuals who test negative but experience symptoms are encouraged to remain home and retest one or two days later.
COVID-19 tests are more accessible than ever. The Department of Public Health has distributed 18,816,372 at-home test kits to date. The county has a program for free at-home testing, and the United State Post Office also delivers free test kits.
2) Hospital admissions fall
The county last Thursday moved back to the Medium Community Level. The ranking, determined by the CDC, requires counties to have fewer than 10 hospital admissions per 100,000 residents. According to the County Department of Public Health, the hospital admission rate stood at 9.9 per 100,000 residents on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, there were 1,009 residents with COVID-19 in area hospitals, the lowest number since July 7. The most recent seven-day average of hospitalizations was 1,041, which marks a 10% decline from the previous week.
3) Cases continue to dip
The past seven days marked the fourth consecutive week that cases in Los Angeles County have fallen. New infections are now about half what they were a month ago.
There were 4,829 new cases on Wednesday. The most recent seven-day average was 3,676. That marks a 5% decrease from the week before.
4) Declining deaths
After weeks of relatively high numbers of COVID-19 deaths, fatalities are falling.
The seven-day average for deaths stood at 12 on Sunday, the lowest level since July 19. The average bumped back up to 13 on Wednesday.
There were 14 fewer deaths documented this week than one week prior.
While every COVID-19 fatality remains troubling, it is worth noting that current numbers are a fraction of what they were during the Omicron surge of the winter. The 92 deaths last week is fewer than the 96 recorded on the single day of Feb. 3
5) School in session
The Los Angeles Unified School District opened campuses on Monday for the new academic year. However, it will be much more difficult to track infections. That's because the district is no longer providing weekly on-campus testing of all students and staff. Last year that meant conducting about a half-million tests each week.
The district asked all students to take a home test the weekend before returning to campus (free kits were given out), but only to report the results if it came back positive. According to the district's COVID-19 Report Card, from Aug. 10–16 there were 2,458 positive results.
According to the Department of Public Health, 62 public school districts and 203 private schools are providing testing programs.
How we did it: We analyzed coronavirus data related to new cases, deaths, hospitalizations and vaccinations provided by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

Q: How to implement local thesholding in opencv I want to binarize an image using some local thresholding technique. I have successfully applied otsu technique but unable to implement any local technique(niblack or sauvola).
Acc. to me the steps could be:
1.first of all we need to select the window size.
2. calculate the threshold value for the window.
3. then binarize that window.
4. repeat these steps for whole image.
if these steps are correct then how to implement it in visual c++ AND OPENCV? (I mean how to apply different loops etc)
OR I M WRONG SOMEWHERE? I am beginner in this area.

A: Niblack and Sauvola are already implemented into the extended modules of opencv: opencv_contrib. Download it and install it like this, and check the module ximgproc. It contains a method called niBlackThreshold.

Day 10's collaborative blog post was written by Jordan Williams [JW] and Isaiah Mobley [IM], two of the splendid 13 who are part of Think China 2013.
[JW] Today we had a lecture on China's policy on ethnic minority groups. In China, there are 56 ethnic groups. The most interesting part to me was when I found out that some ethnic groups are able to have two or more kids.
[JW] Some of China's ethnic groups inhabit vast areas, while others live in individual compact communities or live in mixture. This reminded me of Oakland, because Oakland is like a community filled with minorities. Bryce Bell said "The lecture reminded me of being in Oakland, seeing minorities everyday and especially ones that live in poverty." The origins and development of ethnic groups in China are diverse and have been shaped by local conditions which is kinda how Oakland is.
[JW] To help with minority issues, China has political polices. The first policy is regional ethnic autonomy. This is a basic policy that China adopted to handle problems among its ethnic groups. The second policy is adherence to equality and unity among ethnic groups. This policy provides protection of the personal freedom ethnic minorities and opposes ethnic discrimination or oppression of any form. Also, with this policy ethnic minorities religious beliefs are respected and protected. I believe that these help the ethnic minorities, because it helps them feel like they still have a life, and are not belittled by everything they do. The fourth policy is to development ethnic minority cultures and build agriculture.
[JW] I asked Lakeshia Harris how she felt about minorities. She said "Nobody should be judged by the color of their skin. Minorities should be spread apart, and not have to live in one compact area." I agree with Lakeisha. Minorities shouldn't be judged because of their skin color; everyone should be equal.
[JW] I feel that the lecture was interesting. It was nice to talk about an issue that was going on in the United States. It shows that China and the United states are not that different and have similarities. This lecture really opened my eyes to see that China is more than what the American perception is. China does do what it can to help the ethnic minorities have equality.
[IM] What is the largest soda corporation in the world? Most people would probably say Coca Cola. Well, today the kids from Think China got a opportunity to visit a Coca Cola plant today.
[IM] When we arrived at the plant, we saw a big box that had Coca Cola written across it in gold writing. Next, we went up stairs to see the area where the sodas where made. We got to see how the bottles were made and how the soda was put into the bottles.
[IM] There was several machines making sodas. One of the machines was called the 600 line because it can produce 600 bottles in one minute. The machines were all named after how many bottles they produce in one minute.
[IM]"I found it interesting how they can produce so many drinks with little or to no errors using machinery. I expected the machines and facility to be bigger because of the number of sodas that were being produced" said Rahni Johnson.
[IM] The first assembly line of Coke factory was started in 1981 in Beijing. In 2011, it was estimated that there was an annual average of 152 bottles consumed by one person in Beijing.
[IM] Brandon Vonderwerth-Martin said "It was cool how fast the machines were going and how fast the whole process of creating a bottle of soda was. It was also interesting to see how many different types of drinks that they produced in one factory." The factory produces 130 thousand boxes and roughly three million bottles during one day of work. The plant employees work 24 hours in shifts.
[IM] In 1886, John Pepton created the ingredients for Coca Cola. In 1899, the Coke was first put in a bottle for sale. In 1915, the famous glass bottle was designed with it's curvy shape and in 1929, Coke sponsored its first Olympic games.
[IM]"I liked how they showed the history of and how it progressed to becoming one of the biggest beverage companies world wide today" said Ibrahima Mobley.
[IM] In the 1980's, it was difficult to buy and find Coke bottles in China because China was against foreign affairs during that time period so they weren't really getting imports or exporting goods to other countries. Later, China lifted the ban on foreign imports which opened the floodgates for companies like Coca Cola to begin producing their products there.
[IM] Overall the experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity and it was also spectacular to see how effortlessly the workers had to work.

In fact, so obsessed are Indians with a fair complexion that in addition to fairness creams, usage of cream bleaches to lighten skin colour also is on the rise. A survey conducted by a leading bleach manufacturer has in fact revealed that around 90 percent of women bleached for a fairer complexion while only 10 percent bleached to camouflage superfluous hair.
* One should not bleach too often- once in a months should be alright.
* Store bleaching products in a cool, dry place.
* Before you apply the bleach, wash the area to be bleached with mild soap and water. Then dry it.
* Always conduct a patch test on the elbow before applying bleach in the face. Apply little bleach under your elbow and let it stay for 48 hours. If you experience any irritation, redness, inflammation or any kind of discomfort takes place, do not use the product.
* A slight tingling sensation while the cream is working is normal, but it shouldn't be painful. A strong, burning feeling is a good indicator it's too strong for your sk in, or you're allergic to a bleaching ingredient.
* Also do not bleach after a hot bath as the skin is more sensitive then.
* Leave the skin free to breathe for 6-8 hours after bleaching. It is always best to bleach the skin at night or late in the evening.
* Keep bleached area out of direct sunlight for at least 24 hours.
* If you are using Retin A, Alpha Hydroxy, or Glycolic Acid on your skin, it's recommended that you shouldn't bleach that area of the skin.
*Always prepare the bleach mixture as much as you require and do not disproportionately change the ratio of ingredients to be mixed, wrongly assuming that a stronger preparation ensures better results. Always prepare the mixture as soon as you are ready to begin. And discard any leftover mixture; do not reuse it.
* However you can do some slight modifications. When bleaching the face, mix a little less of ammonia crystals than recommended. And when your bleaching your arms or legs, mix a little more of the crystals.
* Gently cover your skin area with bleach, do not rub it vigorously into the skin.
* Do not leave the bleach mixture for a longer time than specified on the package. You can wipe away a bit using the spatula to see if the hair is of desired colour. If not, reapply on that part and check again in a few minutes but in any condition do not leave the bleach for more than 15 minutes.
* Don't use bleach on areas where you shouldn't - near eyes, eyebrows, inside nose, for instance. Also don't use it on extremely sunburnt, irritated, burnt, chapped skin or an area that is freshly tweezed or shaved.
* Don't bleach if you're trying to get pregnant, are pregnant or think you may be pregnant. Also avoid bleaching when you are nursing your baby.
* Once the hair is all lightened, rinse off the bleach using cool water and gently pat dry with a smooth towel.
* The skin pores get thoroughly cleansed by the hydrogen peroxide in the bleach. Hydrogen peroxide has been universally acknowledged as a cleansing agent. But hydrogen peroxide can also lead to temporary increase in growth of facial hair, which soon subsides. However if the rate of growth appears to be high, discontinue bleaching for some time. That's why, if you are undergoing laser treatment for hair-removal, it's highly recommended that you forgo bleaching.
* Incidentally, if you do come across a defective bleaching cream, complain to the FDA authorities.
* In spite of all precautions if you do experience a burning sensation or there are rashes on the face after bleaching, gently rub pure coconut oil over that area and wash it off with cold water. Alternatively, one can rub ice over the affected allergic area for 10 to 15 minutes or a little longer and at intervals till the reaction subsides.
I've heard about lemon juice. My friend actually does that. I haven't seen a whole lot of difference with these home remedies though.I would just suggest buying a higher SPF sunblock for your body. Without a tan, you will be whiter. Till you notice a difference, just keep putting on concealer that is a light color. I like L'oreal Bare Minerals. It looks natural like it's your own skin color, and it blends well. You can find this at drugstores for very cheap.
I think that people should accept their selfs for who they are and the way they look. But i think that dark people are attractive they have a good tan why shouldn't they like that. It kills me to see all of our celebrities doing things like that to make their self look better when they really look fine. But they need to realize that they have fans who might do the same thing to their body. Like that episode with Brittany Spears when she shaved her head well these people did that to cause she did it. People need to grow up and be you. Not try to be someone else.
lemon juice is a natural skin bleacher...cucumber and any citrus juice will work...um and stay away from chemicals!and use a good, natural sunblock.
Hi Aparna, Good tips !
Nice blog about care of skin beauty and skin disorders. Good and educating posts about nice products and tips. Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing your ideas about bleaching.
How do I remove unwanted facial hair at home?
You could try bleaching your face. A small box of bleach is available at all chemists or general stores, and costs anwhere between Rs 20 to Rs 45 approximately. You could alternately try waxing your sideburns with some cold wax and see if that helps, but your hair growth is likely to thicken slightly. Try applying a besan and haldi paste, and scrubbing it off. For removing hair from eyebrows, upper lip and chin, threading is best.
body. It works as natural bleaching.
Mix one tea spoon flour of urad pulse, one tea spoon orange juice, 2-3 drops lemon juice. Make paste. Leave the area near eyes & eyebrows. Apply on whole face.
Very well written blog, thanks for sharing. Most of points I always follow during bleaching my skin.
Is this true that we should not apply bleach at pigmented area?
What is this pigmentation on your skin. ?I?s it due to melasma or 'pregnancy mask'? In any case, please talk to a dermatologist before using a bleach.
You should bleach your facial skin first and after 2-3 days do the facial. During facials, your face is also scrubbed to remove dead skin cells and your skin will become sensitive. So if you bleach after a facial, it could be counterproductive to your skin; it might get irritated, develop rashes etc. So better bleach first and then do facial.
I need a suggestion...Pls help...My forehead are was slightly burn during cooking atleast 25 days ago..So my que is can I bleech my face.
Namita, please do not use bleach on your burnt skin. It's only 25 days and your skin is still recovering and is very sensitive at this point of time.

MANILA (UPDATED) - The remains of former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III have been cremated at the Heritage Park in Taguig on Thursday afternoon, his family confirmed.
Kris Aquino, Noynoy's youngest sister, confirmed the development to the media, hours after the family organized the wake for their brother.

A mass will be held in Ateneo de Manila University on Friday, while his burial will be on Saturday at the Manila Memorial Park, beside their parents and democracy icons Benigno and Corazon, she said.
Kris Aquino said that their family made the decision to prevent a super spreader event amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The cremation is already finished... On Saturday, we will bury him beside our parents in Manila Memorial. Ganun kasimple lang. Sana maintindihan niyo na we did not think it would happen this soon. We are just trying our best na hindi magkaroon ng super spreader event," Kris said.

"Nagpapasalamat kami sa lahat ng mga nagpapadala ng kanilang mga condolences," she added, expressing her gratitude to Malacanang and President Rodrigo Duterte.
According to an official bulletin, a one-day public viewing would be held at the Church of the Gesu inside Ateneo de Manila University from 10 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The Aquino family urged the public to strictly adhere to health protocols and physical distancing during their visit.
The Ateneo de Manila University will also livestream the viewing via the Facebook page of Radyo Katipunan 87.9 FM, the bulletin read.
In a separate statement, Ateneo said the public will be allowed to walk in front of the urn to pay respects and say a prayer for the former president.
Family and close friends will also be allowed in a sectioned-off seating area which can accommodate up to a maximum of 140 people at any given time.
Health and safety protocols will likewise be implemented. Visitors temperatures will be checked, and they will be required to fill in contract tracing forms. The wearing of masks and face shields are also required at all times.
Aside from members of the Cojuangco and Aquino families, no children will be allowed to enter the campus.
The former president completed his elementary, high school and college education at Ateneo.
The former President was rushed to the Capitol Medical Center in Quezon City earlier in the day, but was pronounced dead at 6:30 a.m. due to renal disease secondary to diabetes.
He was 61.

Advocating for fitness and good nutrition wasn't enough to save these health experts from an early demise.
January 10, 2013, 1:03 p.m.
We commonly hear stories of people whose health defies the odds: the chain-smoking grannies who live to 100, the skinny dudes who pack away unreasonable amounts of calories without gaining an ounce. But often it's the reverse that prevails; the physically virtuous who drop dead way before their time. And it's never more surprising than when such a fate befalls the very people have become famous for espousing good health.
With a life expectancy in the United States for males at 76.3 years and 81.1 years for females (according to the CDC), it's confounding to discover so many diet gurus who have succumbed years ahead of the national average. And this isn't to suggest that their practices and philosophies contributed to their deaths in any way — who's to say where nature tramples nurture, so to speak – but the irony is hard to deny. We don't suggest throwing in the towel on healthy eating based on the unfortunate deaths of the diet gurus listed here, but it does provide some food for thought.
The author of the 1977 runaway bestseller, "The Complete Book of Running," Fixx is often credited with starting the American running craze. Fixx ran 10 miles a day in addition to other vigorous exercise, and was described as being in fine physical condition by friends — yet he had a fatal heart attack at the age of 52 while jogging near his home in Vermont. Although he showed no symptoms, autopsy results revealed that his left circumflex coronary artery was almost totally blocked. About 80 percent of the blood flow in his right coronary artery was blocked and half of the left anterior descending was blocked in places. Although he had a family history of heart disease, his problems had gone undiagnosed by a physician.
The European born and based Airola was a nutritionist and naturopathic doctor with a background in biochemistry and natural healing. Airola promoted natural healing through a diet of nutritious, whole foods and holistic medicine. He lectured extensively across the globe and spent time as a visiting lecturer at prestigious universities including Stanford University Medical School. Airola served as president of the International Academy of Biological Medicine, and authored 14 books, two of which became international bestsellers. The American Academy of Public Affairs went as far as to issue Airola the Award of Merit for his book on arthritis. This brilliant man was felled by a stroke at the age of 64.
Creator of one of the world's most famous diets, the Atkins Nutritional Approach, aka the Atkins Diet, Robert Atkins basically gave the okay for bacon lovers to pig out on all things protein, condemning carbohydrates to the hall of dietary shame. Dieters swore by the program and vegetarians shuddered. Meanwhile, Atkins himself was revealed after his death to have had a "history of serious heart problems including myocardial infarction (a heart attack), congestive heart failure and hypertension," which has been suggested by some to lead to his death, caused by a fall on the ice. He died at the age of 72.
The author of The New York Times best-selling book (which was on the list for a remarkable 115 weeks) "The NEW 8-Week Cholesterol Cure" as well as "The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure Cookbook," "Cholesterol & Children," "8 Steps to a Healthy Heart," "The Type II Diabetes Diet Book" and "The Blood Pressure Cure: 8 Weeks to Lower Blood Pressure Without Prescription Drugs" died at the age of 65 from a pulmonary embolism.
Born in 1904, Adelle Davis, was one of the country's best-known early nutritionists and contended that almost any disease could be prevented by proper diet. The visionary author penned four best-selling books: "Let's Cook It Right," "Let's Have Healthy Children," "Let's Get Well" and "Let's Eat Right To Keep Fit." Although she received criticism for some of her more far-out ideas, her enthusiasm for health food led her to become an early advocate for the need to exercise, the dangers of vitamin deficiencies as well as the need to avoid hydrogenated fat, saturated fat and excess sugar consumption — all of which remain standard guidelines today.

This past weekend I took part in Node Knockout, a 48-hour coding competition where teams have to build an app in node.js from scratch. On the team were Drew Wilson (design), Kevin Thompson (frontend), and Aashay Desai and myself on the backend. Our entry, RESTalytics, is a sweet-looking analytics dashboard for monitoring REST API usage. We also developed a drop-in library (node-restalytics) to be used with any node.js app to add analytics tracking in one line of code.
Unsurprisingly, the initial idea started out with a huge scope. We wanted to track users as they moved through a site, drill down into GET/POST parameters, including any JSON received or sent by an API, track uptime, slowest API endpoints, and more. Fortunately, we trimmed it down to just the basics: monitoring requests in real-time, tracking average response time, and counting the number of requests.
In 48 hours, a great deal was accomplished, but in the end it turned out that just getting a nice real-time graph working with the proper backend architecture in place took some time. Due to last-minute issues, we weren't able to show the most popular endpoints or top sources in the dashboard, but hopefully the general idea of the service is clear.
The restalytics module is able to track incoming HTTP requests (to any server subclassed from http.Server) as well as responses. The graph on the main dashboard shows requests on the horizontal axis and response time as their height. The response time is the time required to handle an incoming HTTP request (after it arrives) and send the first HTTP response header. It's purely the request processing time, not data transfer time.
The restalytics node module, by default, flushes the collected statistics every 5 seconds to the RESTalytics API server. This allows you to see a near real-time view of requests to your server. In case the RESTalytics API ever goes down, the node module is designed to retry. If the API is down is for an extended period of time, the module will drop older statistics to conserve RAM.
The module sends each batch of data points as a POST request to /api/data. Each batch is asynchronously processed by adding each data point into an incoming queue (stored in Redis). A worker process processes each data point, calculates daily and 5 minute averages by storing them into keys in Redis for each type of statistic required (number of requests, average response time, slowest endpoint, etc.). Finally, the actual data point is stored for safekeeping into MongoDB.
MongoDB also contains the different sites (APIs) that a user account may have, as well as all detected URI endpoints. By storing the raw data points in Mongo and issuing dashboard queries directly to Redis, we're able to maintain acceptable performance with little datastore overhead.
To find out more, check out RESTalytics or follow me on Twitter and I'll keep you updated.
