Spline Doctors » Blog Archive » Mark Walsh Podcast! Finally!
Happy New Year everyone! Here is a great podcast with old friend Animator/Director Mark Walsh. Mark talks about a lot of really great stuff. There really is alot of gold in this interview. Mark Talks about the transition from animator to director which is information that is very useful. Enjoy! Sorry it too so long and I hope to do more in 2013.
Awesome! I've been missing some good ol' spline casts lately.
love the splinecasts, so inspiring and insightful.
thanks on behalf of all the animation students in Israel!
You are the best Andrew! thanks so much for doing these!
Thanks for keeping the spline casts alive!
Fantastic interview! As a student this is very inspirational and just pushes me to work harder! To make my performances count and do the best that I can do to make my animation convincing! There is so much to take in and will definitely be playing this over the next week on repeat!
Thanks so much for the post! Great podcast.
Brilliant! So inspiring – thank you Mark and Andrew! Whoa… when you said 'great point to wrap it up', I let out a sad little 'aaw'. But I get to go listen to it again and again now – YAY!
Awesome, can't wait to listen! Will it be added to iTunes? I've noticed that many of the podcasts no longer work in iTunes. Can the links be repaired?
This was a great listen. Very insightful, and inspiring especially as I am aiming to get into directing someday.
Thanks for all the SplineDr. work.
BTW Andrew any news about your online teaching , you were talking about the Art Department or something like that any news?
I wanted to write a post on my blog regarding that great interview with Mark Walsh but moving onto a new production I didn't get around to doing it so in the meantime, thanks a lot Andrew, Mark and the Spline doctors for a fantastic and really insightful interview.
Andrew, another great interview. Thank you.
From your archive I see you've held Spline Doctors Animation Challenges in previous years. Any chance of a new one for 2013?
Thanks for another great interview! Mark spoke so many home truths and with such passion – really great chat. Don't know where you must find the time but its very much appreciated.

New Platform to Buy and Sell Art.
ARTPOP is a new platform exclusively mobile, born to facilitate convergence of artists and art buyers whose purpose is not collecting, but the decoration of spaces. Based on this premise we defined two fundamental aspects that ARTPOP should undertake: On the one hand offer the prospective buyer the ability to simulate how a painting would look in a real environment space, and secondly, to give more value to the Painting, show it framed and on the wall.
When ArtWork for sale you like, easily visualize how would look on that wall you have in mind and you would like to decorate.
When you're looking at paintings, and you like one of them but do not know how it would look on the wall of your house with your current decor. At that time it is when you would like to try before you buy and that's what we did with ARTPOP, Creating the Wall Simulator feature that allows that, by simply touching painting's image with your finger!
By keeping your finger pressed on the painting, this will move as a separate element on the screen, at the top, There would be an area where to drop painting to access the Wall Simulator. Everything you can do with one finger, immediately, on the spot, so do not waste time in thinking about at how the painting would look at home, in the office or where you thought hanging.
The Wall Simulator will open using the back camera of your smartphone or tablet, letting you see on the screen the place you direct the camera. Also on the screen you will see the painting you chose positioned so that simulates quickly as would be hung on the point you're aiming the camera of your device. Once you have selected the right place, you can make a picture to view later all tests you have done and decide which painting to buy.

Australia better prepare for 'sacrifice', Chinese media boss warns — Analysis
Editor November 15, 2021
If the Australian military intervenes in Beijing's relations with Taiwan, it should better be ready to "sacrifice" its soldiers to an imminent counter attack, said the editor-in-chief of China's state-affiliated Global Times.
Peter Dutton (Australian Defense Minister) vowed to "support the US in an action if the US chose to take that action"Hu Xijin of Global Times was furious at China's decision to take Taiwan over, and took to social media to respond.
"If Australian troops come to fight in the Taiwan Straits, it is unimaginable that China won't carry out a heavy attack on them and the Australian military facilities that support them," warned Xijin.
Australia should be ready to make sacrifices for Taiwan and the US.
Scott Morrison, the Australian prime minister has been increasingly hostile to China. He has repeatedly made references to war and conflict. The Morrison government has also increased Australia's cooperation with the United States, damaging its previously good relationship with China – a foreign policy shift that has been criticised by former Australian prime ministers Paul Keating, Kevin Rudd, and Malcolm Turnbull.
Keating stated last week that Australia was in danger. "should not be drawn into a military engagement over Taiwan, US sponsored or otherwise," pointing out that Taiwan was "not a vital Australian interest."
Keating also accused Australia's foreign policy of being influenced by "spooks" at intelligence agencies and compared Morrison's controversial AUKUS deal with US and UK to obtain nuclear-powered submarines to "throwing a handful of toothpicks at the mountain."

Plum Juniper Brandy is one of the most popular Serbian brandies prepared as perfect natural mix of plum brandy and juniper berries. This brandy from the Patriarchal basement in Sremski Karlovci offers smooth flavour and strong aftersmell. Klekovaca brandy is more than natural brandy, it has been a Legendary Serbian brandy for centuries.
Tradition of brandy production in Serbia is over 500 years old and it is well known that juniper berries were one of favorite herbs in folk medicine for thousands of years. There are records in the Hilandar medical codex from the 13th century about this curative plant and it is certain that juniper berries have been added into the brandy for hundreds of years, exactly as it is done with many other medical herbs and plants.
Sremski Karlovci is a small town located on the slopes of Fruska Gora (at North of Serbia), not far away from Novi Sad and old town Petrovaradin. This place fascinates every visitor from the very first moment. Natural beauty, history, cultural sights, serenity and monastic silence of this small town, as well as production of wine has been renown in Patriarchal basements in Sremski Karlovci for centuries. Nowadays at this beautiful place, the monk as heritage owners, continue to keep old tradition and still produce the best quality wines and brandies. The basements are located in the Old Palace, while the vineyards are in the vicinity of the Fruska Gora. Beside famous Patriarchal Black and Patriarchal White, there are also excellent desserts wines and brandies.


WAIPAHU, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The state Department of Transportation's plans for Phase 1 of the long-awaited Leeward Bikeway calls for the five-mile path to run along the old railroad route to the Hawaiian Railway Society in Kapolei.
It will cost $8.5 million to build.
"The bid is ready to go. We think that they'll go out to bid early 2018 and then start building it in 2018," said Chad Taniguchi, executive director of the Hawaii Bicycling League.
Bicycle enthusiasts are happy, but they also want the second phase built from Kapolei to Nanakuli.
For that HDOT said it can only afford to adjust striping on existing roads including busy Farrington Highway.
Waianae Sen. Maile Shimabukuro said her constituents worry about the safety of cyclists who would have to ride alongside traffic.
"That's a very tight stretch of road. In many parts of it there's only those four lanes. There's really not much shoulder on either side. It's already congested," she said.
The state estimates that would cost about $13 million — money it doesn't have.
"Due to funding limitations, HDOT is adjusting this concept to improve access within current facilities," he said.
Sakahara said the re-striped roads would include "minimum five-foot mixed use shoulders" and Phase 2 could be moved up if funding outside the Highway Revenue Fund is provided.
The Leeward Bikeway has been on the state's to-do list since 1980. It was required by the federal government when it transferred the deed for the rail corridor to the state.
The Hawaii Bicycling League often rides the route Phase 1 will follow.
"A lot of it is already off-road rideable, gravel or dirt. We're hoping to see a proper paved path similar to the existing Pearl Harbor bike path," HBL events director Travis Counsell said.
Sakahara said Phase 1 will improve bicycle and pedestrian access.
When it's finished the path will be multi-use for bike riders, walkers, joggers and skate boarders.
"It's going to be tremendously well used," Taniguchi said.


My sarcasm detector has limited range.
It's the string instrument that the bard plays until you throw him money or perform a violent action.
It's the string instrument that the bard plays until you throw him money or perform a violent action. They call it a lute. A banjo is used by U.S southern folk.
I am asking for the "lute" to be a usable improvised weapon, like the broom and rake.
I'm not sure whether this has been posted before, but you can fight with a stringed instrument in AC2. I think its a fiddle (I remember the musician using bow to play it). You find the guys in the carnivale district and he plays with a group of musicians.
But the unusual thing about it is that it has the animations of a mace, but the sounds of the of a sword (sounds weird when fighting with it).
I always wondered why you can pick up anything to use as a weapon, except the lute.
lol -- the idea definitely brings a chuckle. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I usually pick pocket them and they drop their instrument and run away.
Yep, would love to be able to leave a trail of musicians boxed by their own lutes behind me! On the bright side, unlike the beggars in AC:1, at least they don't throw rocks at you when you're climbing.


In the world of photography, assisting has been a time-honoured tradition to gather skills and contacts. It's a smart move as you can learn a lot from a senior photographer. I also assist with less experienced photographers for a variety of reasons. In this post I'd like to get into my reasons for assisting. The local college has a 30 hour field placement requirement for their photography program. I've worked with six of their students in the last year and a half, student number seven starts soon, and it leads me to think about the importance of assisting.
An experienced photographer will teach you a lot on a shoot if you just keep your eyes open. From their setup to client interaction to workflow, there's always something to see and incorporate into your work. I will sometimes make notes during the down time on interesting tips or tricks. Assisting allows you to see different genres of photography you might not do yourself, opening up new ideas for projects and business.
Even shooting with a less experienced photographer can give you insights into new ideas and techniques. Sometimes watching what goes wrong (and trying to help it not to) can provide valuable information that you can take back to your workflow.
Assisting allows you to step back and see the entire set for many different angles that you might not see as the photographer.
There are many unglamorous jobs assisting such as getting food or coffee, cleaning the studio floor before the shoot and before anyone gets to the set. Choirs will not sing your praises for setting up the lights, or fanning a large piece of cardboard to move the model's hair. That's okay I'm there to learn, not be the star. Doing the menial task keeps you humble and that's a good thing because as a photographer sometimes ego can get in the way of trying something new.

Q: Unity3D setting velocity won't take effect immediately in OnCollisionEnter I have a simple script to set the velocity to zero when a collision with something, but seems it won't work immediately:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class MoveController : MonoBehaviour {

    [SerializeField]
    private float shootVelocity=30f;

    void Start () {

    }

    private void OnGUI()
    {
        if(GUI.Button(new Rect(0,0,100,100), "shoot"))
        {
            GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = shootVelocity * Vector3.forward;
        }
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = Vector3.zero;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
    }

}

I also have made a youtube video to demonstrate the problem.
It's really important to make the ball stop immediately after a collision happens.
How to do that?

A: You get this problem because there is specific time step after which physics calculation takes place, you can read more about it here https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-TimeManager.html
Imagine this situation, object are not colliding this frame, next frame first object moves for some distance and it is now colliding with second object, but it is already somewhere inside that object since it moves very fast, then the collision is detected but it is already too late. Sometimes if the object are very small and/or moving very fast collision doesn't get detected, because when it first check object one is before object two, when it checks second time object one is already passed object two, so no collision detected.
One way to do it is to make this time step smaller so Unity will check for collision more often, but this increases overhead, especially if you have a lot of physics calculations going around and position when sphere stops will never be perfect. What I suggest is you write your own calculation with this to work together with Unity's simulation.
I will give you example how to calculate perfect stopping position (position where two objects are just touching at one point) if object is moving always in same direction when  it is passing through other object and you are working with two sphere colliders whose radiuses in world scale you know. Let's name them radius1 and radius2, and parameter "t" that represents how much forward/backwards object needs to move to get perfect collision position.
When colision is detected you can do following calculation.
Vector3 firstVector = transform.position-collidedObject.transform.position;
 Vector3 secondVector = direction;
 float r = radius1+radius2;
(firstVector - secondVector*t).sqrMagnitude = r^2;
Expand your equation

or in text mode =\sqrt{2x_2^2t^2+z_2^2t^2-2x_1x_2t-2z_1x_2t-2z_1z_2t+x_1^2+2z_1^2}
Now solve for t and you will get two values, because you have two perfect collision positions for given direction (one before the second object and one after).
You get this equation

Link to Symbolab equations
It might look complex but you can see that there is only one difference in these two solutions for t (in that minus sign) and rest of it is same, you can split this in 3 variables to make it looks simple, this is just all focused in one equation so it looks like a lot.
Let's say now you have "t1" and "t2" with values for equation, you can now do
float finalT = Mathf.Abs(t1) < Mathf.Abs(t2) ? t1 : t2;
transform.position += dir*t;

You need to calculate all this only when collision is detected, I would also suggest to do this only when:
if((transform.position-collidedObject.transform.position).sqrMagnitude > (radius1+radius2 + someThresholdValue)^2)

So you ignore the calculation if objects are already positioned pretty nicely by Unity engine. Let me know how it goes, hope this helps!
Note: even if the object doesn't have constant direction you can approximate it by taking the last know direction and for the sake of calculation make it constant on that value. You won't get almost no difference and it solves the calculations tremendously.

A: That's how physics work.
If the moving object has higher velocity, it would have higher momentum hence would take more time to stop.
You can try updating your code like this to make it more efficient.
public class MoveController : MonoBehaviour
{

    [SerializeField]
    private float shootVelocity=30f;

    Rigidbody rb;
    void Start ()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    private void OnGUI()
    {
        if(GUI.Button(new Rect(0,0,100,100), "shoot"))
        {
            rb.velocity = shootVelocity * Vector3.forward;
        }
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        rb.isKinematic = true;
        rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
        rb.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;
    }
}

Hope this helps :)

Swiftlet Farming: Million Dollars A Year Income Potential.: Rompin BH: I Am Still Not Satisfied With The 4th Floor Darkness !!!
Rompin BH: I Am Still Not Satisfied With The 4th Floor Darkness !!!
Although finished the top floor but inside my heart I was not very happy.
Not happy because my rule of the thumb for nesting rooms which I always preached was not there.
My philosophy is that if you want your birds to stay and erect those precious nests the nesting room must be pitch dark.
A simple test to do is to stand two feet apart with your partner or helper and see if you can see his face.
If you can then you failed to meet the birds requirement.
Those birds even they enter and stay inside the room will be reluctant to erect their nests.
It is something like having tenant in your house but they never pay their monthly rental payment.
1) Due to the big top entry areas the nesting area was short ( about 50 feet).
2) No matter how I arranged the partitions (at least seven separate doors) those bright light keep polluting the main nesting room and the rest too.
3) The wall onto which those sun rays are hitting were not blacken or painted with black paint.
4) The doors are just too big and allowing a lot of those reflected light to enter the VIP room.
5) Too many doors and I need to shut at least one of the many doors.
During my next trip, scheduled next Tuesday March 10th 2015, I need to make some drastic decision to shut a few doors and see if those black paint helps.
This can be very irritating when you cannot get the kind of darkness in your BH.

Here at HCC, there are a multitude of programs, clubs, and classes that students can sign up for in order to enrich their minds and bodies. Most of these outlets are easily accessible, except for one.
The Honors Program here at school may be the most underutilized resource on campus, and it is completely free of charge. You read it right, the HCC Honors Program is not Greek, and it costs zero dollars to join. All you need to do is register for at least twelve credits per semester and maintain a GPA of 3.5.
What benefits come from putting in extra work and completing the Honors Program? Why should a student on the edge of qualifying make a bigger effort in order to join? Is not earning the degree alone enough of a recognition and reward?
A student does not even have to complete the program in order to reap some tangible benefits. There are no penalties for not finishing the program, but there are rewards for the effort. If a student completes just one class at the honors level, that capital letter "H" will be on their transcript for life. A single "H" on a transcript can be the difference in being accepted at a transfer school or being awarded a scholarship.
In order to complete the whole program, there are four requirements that must be fulfilled, and for the student's convenience, they can be met in any order. Two regular classes must be completed on the honors level, which means an extra project in each class during the semester. Also the Honors Seminar, which is three credits, must be taken and graded with at least a "B". The Honors Seminar meets just once a week, but a seminar is much different than a class. In a seminar, everyone in the room works together and talks about the best way to complete a task; a lecture it is not. An independent study of the student's choice carries the same responsibility of at least being graded with a "B," and finally, some service to the community is required of the student. No, HCC does not want you picking up trash off of the highway. The community service part of the program allows students to be creative outside of the college. Students are encouraged to volunteer their time in a way that positively contributes to the community we all live in.
When all four hoops have been jumped through, a student literally leaves their mark on HCC forever, because their name is then engraved on a bronze plaque and displayed in the college library. A certificate will be presented to the student at Awards Night, their name will be noted in the Commencement Program, and last but not least, a special notation will be made on the college transcript.
Those are the benefits people can see, but the real gems are hidden out of sight. Imagine that overnight, all the "A and B students" instantly became good friends with one another. What kind of effect do you think it might have on them? The possibilities are limitless, and from these students being suddenly thrust together, come the perks and privileges which can alter the direction of lives forever. The Honors Program is a challenge, but its rewards cannot be found anywhere else.


Senate Bill 156, which changes the way Colorado counties are required to report certain financial information, is scheduled for a hearing on the House floor Monday.
Two records-related bills sponsored by Sen. John Cooke, R-Greeley, could come to the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives this week.
Cooke's own bill, Senate Bill 156, co-sponsored by Rep. Chris Kennedy, D-Lakewood, would allow counties to publish salary reports once per year instead of twice per year, and in 2020, would remove the requirement that those reports be published in a newspaper.
A previous version of Cooke's bill also cut down the number of times counties must publish expense reports to once annually from once per month.
The current iteration still allows counties, beginning Jan. 1, 2020, to publish the expense report, salary report and financial statement on a county website with a link to the report published in at least one legal newspaper, according to the bill summary.
The amended bill passed the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee 6-2 on Wednesday, and it's scheduled to be heard on the House floor Monday.
In previous interviews, Cooke cited fairness, saying counties are the only governmental entities that have to publish such reports in a newspaper. He also cited the high cost to counties. According to the fiscal note for the bill, counties are expected to save $100-$500 per year.
The Greeley Tribune publishes these and other legal reports for Weld County.
When reached for comment Saturday, Cooke said he was surprised the bill made it out of committee, and he said he's hopeful it will pass the House.
The Colorado Press Association testified against the bill, saying public notices are a valuable tool for government transparency.
"Legal notices are a very effective way to communicate with the public on issues that are important to communities," Greg Romberg said on behalf of the CPA, according to reporting from the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.
On its website, the CPA said its efforts to defeat the bill are focused on educating legislators.

Netizens Say Wu Chun's 7-Year-Old Lookalike Son Is Even More Handsome Than The Star Himself
His wife was also said to resemble his late mum.
Updated 13 May 2021 10:50
By now, everyone knows that good looks run in abundance in Wu Chun's family, from his internet-breaking septuagenarian dad to the super ripped Bruneian hunk himself to his 10-year-old daughter Neinei, whom netizens say has the potential to become a model.
On Mother's Day (May 9), the former Fahrenheit member posted an old photo of his late mum, who passed away from cancer many years ago. Fans pointed out that not only was Mama Wu very beautiful (no surprises there, to be honest), his wife Lin Liying even looks a bit like her.
Here's Wu Chun's mama…
… and here's his wife and their daughter
With a gene pool like that, it's no wonder the baby of the family, Wu Chun's seven-year-old son Max, also looks like he's growing up to be a handsome young fella.
Although Wu Chun was unable to celebrate Mother's Day in person with his family as he is currently in China for work, the 41-year-old made arrangements with his kids to surprise Liying with a cake and bouquet, and shared some sweet photos from the event on his Weibo account.
One of his pics gives us a very clear and close-up look at Max's face, and well, we can totally see why even Wu Chun himself couldn't help but marvel over how much the boy resembles him.
Wu Chun 2.0
Here's a young Wu Chun (with a young Liying) for comparison
Netizens also began heaping praises on the little lad for his good looks with comments like "He is a carbon copy of Wu Chun and was born with the face of a celebrity" and "I can't even say he looks a bit like Wu Chun, they're exactly the same".
Some even remarked that Max is even more handsome than Wu Chun himself. Hmmm, guess time will tell whether he inherited his father and grandfather's age-defying 'superpowers' as well.
Max got it from his papa…
… and his grandpapa (yup, that's Wu Chun's dad on the right)

Q: Flexdashboard pandoc error Apologies for the long and complicated code-block.
I've updated Rstudio and Shiny to the latest versions, and have unfortunately broken my nice interactive dashboard and haven't had any luck in debugging it.
Code:

title: "Antibiotic Use"
output:

I'd particularly like to get the error sorted out, as I use the dash for work.  But more generally, if there are other improvements to the code, I'd appreciate that as well!


The One-Stop-Shop for E-Retailers IRCE is your one-stop-shop for all your e-commerce needs. This conference and trade show offers you everything your business needs to stay ahead of your competition, in one simple location. IRCE 2019 @ RetailX will take place in the world-class city of Chicago, June 25-28, at McCormick Place. A Conference Like None Other IRCE's conference offers strategic educational sessions on the topics that matter to you most. With over 130 sessions covering various topics and trends, your needs are met at IRCE.
What makes our content unique is that it is curated, which means our speakers are not only knowledgeable but prepared with helpful, actionable presentations for you to learn from. Our agenda is created in part with the editorial experts from Internet Retailer magazine, so you know all the latest and greatest in the e-commerce industry will be covered here. With multiple tracks and in-depth workshops covering topics that matter to you, your perfect agenda yet is waiting.
I attended IRCE last year in order to analyze the event and check if it's worth investing as a sponsor (with a booth) this year. Attendees were really qualified (large retailers mostly from the U.S., but sometimes from Europe and other countries as well). Conferences were really interesting and were always about topics related to e-commerce (how to internationalize your e-commerce business, how to create and implement a content marketing strategy, etc.). So if you offer e-commerce services/platforms or if you work in this space, this is a great trade fair. However, if you wish to go as a sponsor, get ready to spend money. American companies usually invest heavily in events, handing out food and gifts to attendees, and sometimes even offering games and distractions (such as a robot that people can take pictures with, even when they don't specialize in robotics). Bottom line: lots of interesting prospects, lots of competition, and to make money with this event you need to spend money.
Fantastic fair. Great discussions and productive meetings. 1 3/4 days is not a lot if you plan to cover a bit more detailed discussions and discover new opportunities. Might be worth while to review overall structure to allow people to spend the time necessary to fully learn about any new opportunities. Just a thought... !
This is the best conference I've ever sponsored, from an ROI and organization perspective. Our booth was around $5,500 and we were 10 feet away from a huge Walmart installation and other similar but non-competitive startups. Exhibit hall was flooded with people throughout the day and it was not uncommon for myself and 3 team members to simultaneously be talking with potential customers or partners. In addition to selling, we also networked with a handful of other vendors which turned into solid partnerships a few months later.

A Certain Englishman's Wife
July 5 - Saturday
At the beginning of the day I got to go to the Church to meet with a new member to help her get set up on familysearch.org. That proved to be very difficult since they gave us the wrong member number. But eventually we got it figured out. She is from Rwanda but is going to school in France. She has a long road ahead of her trying to get her family on the tree, but she seems very interested in doing it.
I loved helping someone with their genealogy. I bore my testimony to her that our ancestors want to be found and that they want their work done for them.
Today really felt like a household chore day. Not that we needed to do a lot of cleaning, since we had done that on Thursday. But basically just getting stuff figured out around the house. The fridge froze, which is why we got a new one, and I didn't want to get a third one. So I figured out how to turn down the temperature and all the ice melted.
Then I decided to tackle the cable TV. This was no easy feat, but I finally got it working. Turns out we still can't watch the World Cup. Oh, well. France lost anyway.
Then at night I decided to go ahead and get VPN authorization so that we can watch netflix and hulu while here. $21 and over an hour later, I got all of our devices authorized. That was extremely difficult and confusing. Now our phones are locked with a pin number and I can't decide whether to take the VPN off of our phones or not. I guess time will tell.
"Skin of Blackness": Idioms, Curses, and Racism
I grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Las Cruces is close to the Mexican border, so residents came in a wide range of skin tones. Here's my first grade class. Every year I was in a Book of Mormon pageant. I was always in three scenes. I'll save the other scenes for later posts. The scene I want to talk about is a re-enactment of 2 Nephi 5. This is when the Nephites and the Lamanites first separated and lived apart from each other. The actors portraying Nephites always wore costumes in cool colors: blue, purple, and green. The actors portraying Lamanites wore warm-colored costumes: red, yellow, and orange. I was always a Nephite child. Rachel Williamson was always a Lamanite child. In this scene, I would play ring around the rosy with other children and pretend to do chores. Rachel got to lazily lie on the lawn as people brought her cookies in a basket. I was very jealous of Rachel and the other kids who got to be Lamanites. One year, I
Abinadi Didn't Think He Failed—And We Shouldn't Think We Have Either
A common telling of the story of Abinadi, the prophet who was burned by fire, is how he died thinking he hadn't converted anyone. What follows next is a telling of a story of a missionary who converted just one person. They come home feeling like their mission was a failure or a waste of time. Then the point is made that unbeknownst to Abinadi, Alma's heart was pricked by the words of Abinadi. He then baptized many at the waters of Mormon. It ends with something like, "So you never know whose hearts you touched. You never know how many people will join the church because of that one baptism." Putting these two stories together, it would then be easy to draw this conclusion. Abinadi thought he was a failure just like the missionary did. Now I don't want to disparage this lesson because I think it's a good one. We never know the impact that we leave on others. Rarely do we get a list of names of people who changed their life because of some
Washing and Anointing in the Temple
In this video I explore what it means to be washed and anointed in a temple. What are some possible representations for the water? for the oil? Why do we need to be washed if we've already been baptized? What is a woman's role in the washing and anointing process? I consider these questions and more in this devotional.

In general, you are free to resell any lawfully purchased item and you are not required to purchase from an authorized source, but doing so ensures the best chances that you are dealing in a legitimate product. If the products you sell turn out to be counterfeit you are responsible for that. Even if you have a written indemnification from the seller, which case depending may be worthless if they have no resources to help you or they are in a place where it is next to impossible to go after them, you will still need to defend yourself in court. Further, if what you have amounts to a grey-market good because it is "materially different" from what your target market would otherwise expect, this is also a form of trademark infringement. An example of this would be some electronics you purchase on close-out that are all Apple® brand legitimate, but perhaps made for the Russian market and therefore have different components and no warranty. This of course is not what your US market would expect to buy and will likely be considered materially different enough to cause a legal issue.
Further, if you are using third-party platforms to distribute your products such as Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, etc. know that many brand owners abuse the system and seek to mitigate unauthorized sales channels by claiming infringement even when no such trademark infringement exists. These platforms have no choice but to respond, which usually means that your listings are shut down, sometimes your accounts are closed and really with no recourse regards to the platform as you operate on them on their terms not yours. While you may have a legal action against the complaining party, many small operators will never pursue such a claim because of the expense and effort involved, which these large players are well aware and exploit.
Lastly, you should never assume you can use the copyright protected images of the manufacturer to promote the sale of their products. You need a license for that or just create your own.
You are likely to have a number of legal questions moving forward, so I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private and discuss your objectives in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.

Q: PHP PDO connection failure Hey, so I am new with PDO, and I cannot figure out why my data will not insert into my tables. Much appreciated!
<?php

include("class.php");

$dbhost     = "localhost";
$dbname     = "db";
$dbuser     = "user";
$dbpass     = "pass";

$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname",$dbuser,$dbpass);

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$email = strtolower($_POST['email']);
$firstName = ucwords(strtolower($_POST['firstName']));
$lastName = ucwords(strtolower($_POST['lastName']));
$date = date("Y-m-d");
$hash = Secure::Encrypt($username, $password);

$sql = "INSERT INTO users (username,password,email,firstName,lastName,createDate) VALUES (:username,:password,:email,:firstName,:lastName,:date)";
$q = $conn->prepare($sql);
$q->execute(array(
':username'=>$username,
':password'=>$hash,
':email'=>$email,
':firstName'=>$firstName,
':lastName'=>$lastName,
':date'=>$date));

?>

A: If all of your table's field names match, I have found that PDO will sometimes fail if one of your array variables are empty.
to find out if any errors are being thrown, add the following after your new PDO declaration (PDO error reporting is silent by default):
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

Then add try/catch around each PDO activity as follows:
try {
    ..Code Here...
}catch (PDOException $err) {
    echo $err->getMessage();
}

Final Code:
<?php

include("class.php");

$dbhost     = "localhost";
$dbname     = "db";
$dbuser     = "user";
$dbpass     = "pass";

$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname",$dbuser,$dbpass);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$email = strtolower($_POST['email']);
$firstName = ucwords(strtolower($_POST['firstName']));
$lastName = ucwords(strtolower($_POST['lastName']));
$date = date("Y-m-d");
$hash = Secure::Encrypt($username, $password);

$sql = "INSERT INTO users (username,password,email,firstName,lastName,createDate) VALUES (:username,:password,:email,:firstName,:lastName,:date)";
try {
    $q = $conn->prepare($sql);
 }catch (PDOException $err) {
    echo 'Prepare Failed: '.$err->getMessage();
 }
try {
    $q->execute(array(
    ':username'=>$username,
    ':password'=>$hash,
    ':email'=>$email,
    ':firstName'=>$firstName,
    ':lastName'=>$lastName,
    ':date'=>$date));
 }catch (PDOException $err) {
    echo 'Execute Failed: '.$err->getMessage();
 }

?>

Then please update with any errors you receive :)

Your English: Collocations: honour (n)
By Tim Bowen
It's a huge honour for us to share Tim Bowen's take on the collocates of this honourable word.
An honour is defined as 'something that makes you proud' or 'a prize for achievement'.
With the first meaning, an honour can be great, huge, major, rare or tremendous, as in 'It is usually seen as a great honour to be chosen as a baby's godparent' or 'It is a huge honour for me to introduce our special guest today'.
On the other side of the coin, an honour which in reality is far from being an honour can be described as a dubious honour, as in 'He had the dubious honour of being the first finalist in history to finish more than two laps behind the eventual winner'.
With the meaning of an award, an honour can be coveted or prestigious, as in 'The inventor of the world wide web was awarded the Order of Merit, one of the UK's most prestigious honours'.
In a sporting context (and in the plural form), honours can be top or major, as in 'The team's form has been so patchy this year that it is highly unlikely that they will be challenging for major honours come the end of the season'.
Honours are awarded, bestowed or conferred, as in 'The French President posthumously bestowed France's top honour on the three police officers who died in the attacks'. Likewise, honours can be accepted, received or shared, as in 'She received a number of honours for her outstanding work in the field of medical research'. Also, honours are earned and will probably also be deserved, as in 'It is my pleasure today to confer this well-deserved honour'.

Covington coach Matt Pond tries refocusing his kids during a timeout in the fourth quarter.
Wins have been hard to come by through the first ten games of the season for the Covington Buccaneers, so when a golden opportunity arises against an evenly matched team on the home floor it's essential that opportunity is taken advantage of.
Unfortunately the Buccaneers let one such opportunity slip away Tuesday at home against Tri-County North, falling 60-56.
Covington was able to get off to a fast start as Andrew Cates and Zach Kuntz combined to score ten of the Buccs' twelve points in the opening frame for a 12-7 lead after one.
Buckets by Kuntz and Tyler Fraley pushed the advantage to 16-7 early in the second, but the visiting Panthers went on a 13-4 run over the remainder of the half to tie the score at the break.
Chad Yohey hit a trey and a runner, while Cates and Fraley dropped in buckets to go along with two free throws by Kuntz to account for the eleven points put up by the Buccs in the third, but Tri-County North was able to take a one-point lead with one quarter to play, 32-31.
Suddenly a low scoring game turned into a track meet in the fourth as the two teams traded bucket after bucket at each end of the floor.
With the game knotted at 49-49, the game turned very ugly with two technical fouls and a scrum in front of the Panther bench. Covington couldn't take advantage of the momentum thanks to its inability to take care of the basketball by committing unforced turnovers from attempting to make "no-look" passes.
The Panthers were able to take advantage by pushing its lead to five points with under a minute to go before Cates hit three of four free throws to cut the Panther lead to 58-56. The Buccs then got the defensive stop they needed and had the ball with a chance to tie the score or take the lead in the final possession.
Once again, the Buccaneers turned the ball over and Tri-County North hit on two free throws to make the final score 60-56 in favor of the visitors.
Cates led the Buccaneers in scoring with 17 points, ten of those coming in the fourth quarter. Zach Kuntz had 14 and Chad Yohey scored 10.
Tri-County North was led in scoring by Dylan Stinson, who tallied a game-high 24 points.
The Buccs fall to 2-8 on the season (2-3 in the CCC) and hope to rebound on Saturday against National Trail.
Chad Yohey shoots over two Panther defenders on Tuesday.
Andrew Cates is fouled going to the basket in the fourth quarter.


Brandy joined our team at the end of 2017 and immediately fitted in becoming a firm favourite, not just because of her stunning appearance, but also because she is so calm, sensible and trusting.
Brandy is a 14.3hh, 22 year old mare who has mostly been used for trekking. She is owned by one of our volunteers who has had her for the last 2 years and has kindly let Cambridge RDA have her on lease. Brandy is a sucker for carrots and cuddles, of which she gets plenty.


It's Halloween all 12 months of the year at this superstore.

The selection is dizzying, but the fun-loving staff can point you in the right direction whether you need a full prop shop's worth of fake armor for a swords and sorcerers movie, or just the right gag to keep the kids in stitches.


This is a major network infrastructure project that we could use for decades. As it is the community that is calling for it, and authorizing the purchase of the infrastructure. Lets agree on some design parameters we would like to see built into the network.
As a personal advocate of the network I'd hold these first 5 or so design elements to be core to the original concept. Others along the way have brought up additional design elements which could be built into the network. Also see the advantages page.
Built throughout the community, not just the downtown core. All homes, apartment complexes, businesses, schools, govt buildings and parks facilities.
Overbuilt capacity at the edges to support adjoining ag land fiber build outs and new subdivisions.
Interconnect to Woodland along existing fiber on Rd 102. Interconnect to the downtown Sacramento core fiber ring.
Smart water meters, Smart sprinkler systems, water use telemetry.
How will the DavisGig effort operate to fulfill the clearly articulated goal. There seem to be several areas that need to be focused on.
This project will probably take 3-5 years and has phases.
First, this group needs to grow public support, educate council members, prepare a full proposal with detailed estimated costs, comparing and contrasting different Gigabit models, and get a successful vote at the Council.
Then, keep up the outreach efforts (Davis Enterprise story a good beginning once costs are known) and get a bond measure passed to pay for implementation. Get neighborhood-based registration web site and do a 90-120 day registration drive. That tells us where to start the deployment.
We need to have detailed technical plans of exactly what we want installed with this bond money that we can use as a starting point when we engage with the consultancies that will be contracted with to put the infrastructure in the ground. We need to tell them exactly what we want, and understand how they are going to implement it.
We stay with the project as it is deployed in neighborhoods, and coordinate with the city to combine any water or street work or anything else that can be implemented at the same time, and closely monitor the process and costs to make sure things are being done right.
As the project is finished and for some years afterward, review operations, costs and benefits, and look to outlying areas.

ORACLE: New Album "Novissima" Release Details… Posted: 01/10/2019 by John O'Brien
Northern Irish modern/groove thrashers ORACLE recently released the first single 'All-Father' and have now alse released a lyric video for a second new track, 'All Must End', both from their upcoming full length debut album "Novissima", due out on the 1st November, 2019. After two successful EPs, "Tales Of Pythia" and the incendiary live set, "Live At Bloodstock", Northern Ireland's ORACLE are ready to unveil their full length debut album. Tapping into the bleak and foreboding spirit of our age, they present "Novissima" – the soundtrack to humanity's relentless march towards annihilation.
Where "Tales Of Pythia" promised much, "Novissima" delivers everything and more. From the prophetic opening line of the gargantuan 'Hypocrisy', "the dawn of extinction approaches", onwards through the battlefield of heavily armoured riffs and bone crushing break downs, "Novissima" drags you into an inescapable downwards spiral of musical destruction. This is raging modern thrash of staggering power and intent, accomplished performances and quality song writing coupled to a seismic eruption of sheer brute force. ORACLE's vision of a road steeped in blood leading only to endless night has been expertly captured by artist Gary Ronaldson (Misery Index, Benighted, Napalm Death, Kreator etc.), whose nightmarish artwork enshrouds these songs of rage from a cheated generation, conscripted into a hopeless last battle.
1. Hypocrisy
2. Hollow
3. Novissima
4. Limos
5. Sky Burns Red
6. Serpentine
7. All-Father
8. All Must End
Release Date: 1st November, 2019
Artwork – Gary Ronaldson
Mixed and Mastered – JSR Audio
"Novissima" is ORACLE's coming of age, the album with which they reveal the full array of their weaponry and step up to the plate to challenge all comers. Prepare to feel the full force of a new wave of aggressive metal – the bone-breaking, pit-inciting, never-ending riffs of ORACLE.
At the ORACLE Bandcamp page you can also pre-order the band's debut full length album, "Novissima", featuring eight new tracks, including 'All-Father', which build upon the riff heavy "Tales Of Pythia" EP and retain the explosive energy of the "Live At Bloodstock" EP. It is by far the heaviest, most accomplished release from ORACLE to date and is going to have an explosive impact on the worldwide metal scene. The artwork for this landmark release had to be something special, so the band turned to renowned artist Gary Ronaldson, whose stunning images have graced the albums and t-shirts of bands like Napalm Death, Misery Index, Benighted, Kreator and De Profundis. We are thrilled to be able to reveal the dark and powerful Novissima artwork below. Novissima will hit the streets on November 1st. Prepare yourselves with the onslaught of 'All-Father', right now!
'All Must End' is taken from the forthcoming album, Novissima, which will be released on November 1st. The video features the album artwork created by Gary Ronaldson of Bite Radius Designs whose amazing work has been used extensively by Misery Index, Benighted, Napalm Death and many more.
ORACLE frontman Jason Kerr said "Novissima" follows the cycle of tyranny, both in the modern age and the world's past. 'All Must End' is the final song and so focuses on a tyrant coming to grips with their demise. At the end there is no compassion for anyone, just greed. This song is about coming to grips with that."
'All-Father' is a crushing explosion of riffs and rage, a massive pit-igniting beast of song! But don't just take our word for it, check out this monster of a track now on the official ORACLE YouTube channel and is also available from the Oracle Bandcamp page and on Spotify.

Happi / Discover Lactoferrin / Gastrointestinal and respiratory outcomes closer to breastmilk with lactoferrin
Gastrointestinal and respiratory outcomes closer to breastmilk with lactoferrin
Infants consuming formula with lactoferrin versus the standard formula group showed a significant improvement in:
Occurrences of diarrhea-related disturbances
Occurrences of respiratory tract disturbances
No significant difference versus the breastfed reference group was observed.
A prospective 3 month study by Chen et al. in 2016 evaluated diarrhea and respiratory tract infection outcomes. The study had 260 healthy 4- 6 month old infants who were previously exclusively breastfed. They were randomised into three groups. The first group received infant formula fortified with lactoferrin (FG). The second group received a similar infant formula control (CG) with no added lactoferrin. The third group was breastfed (BF).
Infants in the breastfed group (BF) and infant formula fortified with lactoferrin group (FG) demonstrated evidence of a lower incidence rate of respiratory related illnesses. Both groups also demonstrated fewer symptoms of running nose, cough, and wheezing versus the infant formula control group (CG). No significant differences between the formula fortified with lactoferrin group (FG) and the breastfed group (BF) were observed.
The infants in the breastfed group (BF) and the formula fortified with lactoferrin group (FG) also demonstrated significantly lower occurrences of diarrhea-related illnesses than those in the infant formula control group (CG) (P < 0.05).

Finding your Scots-Irish ties
Nancy Battick , Special to the Fiddlehead Focus • December 12, 2019
Many genealogists in Maine have Scottish and/or Irish ancestors in their family trees. Some are Scots-Irish, the American term for an Ulster Scot.
Ulster Scots came from what is now Northern Ireland, the Protestant part of Ireland. Most of the American Scots-Irish originated in the lowlands of Scotland along the border with England. This border area had been dangerous for more than a thousand years, home to families and clans who raided both sides of the border seeking cattle, sheep and other goods, and were feared and hated. The highland clans, too, were known for warring against each other and against the English. When England forced the part-Scottish King James II, who had converted to Catholicism and sired a male heir displacing the King's Protestant daughters' claims to the throne, he was forced to flee. Various clans and lowland Scots fought for James' son, the Old Pretender, and later for the Young Pretender, known to history as "Bonnie Prince Charlie." My next column will be about these Scots.
The so-called Ulster Scots were deported or fled to Ireland beginning in 1607 under England's first Stuart, half- Scottish ruler, James I, son of Mary, Queen of Scots. The roots of the exile concerned the Ulster Scots' stubborn refusal to abandon Presbyterianism while the English tried to force them into the Church of England.
While it's logical our Ulster Scot ancestors were either Scottish or Irish, many were neither. English dissenters were also sent to Ulster and Europeans from areas such as Germany and France were exiled there in an attempt to get rid of religious dissenters, Many would end up in the Americas. The Canadian province of Nova Scotia (New Scotland) has a huge Scots-Irish population especially in Cape Breton.
The term Scots-Irish was known in America but came into common usage when thousands of Irish Catholic immigrants emigrated during the Great Potato Famine in the 19th century. Considering themselves a cut above the "bog" Irish, the Scots-Irish reminded all that they were staunchly Protestant and had arrived much earlier beginning in 1710.
My first Scots-Irish ancestor to set foot on these shores was James Douglas. He lived for a time in that part of York, Maine, known as "Scotland," before moving further north along Maine's coast. The Scots-Irish tended to marry other Scots-Irish. So when James Douglas married Margaret Elliot, descendent of another border clan, in 1731, he was following in his ancestral footsteps.
Most of the Scots-Irish settled in the mountains of Appalachia including Maine. According to some estimates Maine ranks among the top ten states in Scots-Irish descendants. If you're Scots-Irish and want to know more about the Ulster Scots, visit the Ulster Scots-Irish Society of America website, ulsterscotssociety.com, or the Maine Ulster Scots Society, maineulsterscots.com , as good places to start your research.
Next time I'll take a look at the Scots who fought for the Stuart pretenders to the British throne and journeyed to this country under much different circumstances. Until then, Tha deagh fhortan agad (have good luck).

What Part Of A GBP2bn Fine Hasn't Made Google Play Nice?
by Sean Hargrave , Staff Writer, December 19, 2017
It's hard to know what message Google didn't get in the record 2.4bn Euros fine levied by the European Commission earlier this year with an order to mend its search ways.
Clearly something wasn't quite clear enough. i mean, a record fine and an order to stop prioritising your own companies in search results. It's such a mixed message, isn't it?
I've certainly been surprised this Christmas while searching for presents, just to ease Santa's load. Google Shopping results are consistently topping my results. There I was scratching my head, wondering how this could still be when I chanced on an article.The Telegraph has called out Google on its lack of change on search, and it reads like a pretty damning indictment.
Apparently, the same type of rivals who got Google investigated and fined are now lining up to point out to the European Commission that very little has changed. They still maintain that Google is prioritising its own services, namely Google Shopping.
One rival from Kelkoo points out that in their estimation, Google Shopping is still coming out on top in 99% of search.
Under Google's supposed changes, the spots where items are typically framed at the top of the search results now need to be bid on and any company can now join in the auction. Ironically, this is exactly how I predicted Google would get out its hole -- turn a problem in to a new revenue stream.
The thing is, Google Shopping, in particular, just keeps on winning these bids. It's enough to make you scratch your chin and think a suspicious "ummm."
The Telegraph further reveals that the European Commission is due to release a "prohibition report" in the next few weeks that will examine how well Google is keeping to its promise to mend its ways. The lobbying by a multitude of rivals is set to intensify over the next few weeks as the report is finalised.
The fine for noncompliance, by the way, is a particularly massive GBP3.5bn or $4.5bn. Readers will not be surprised to hear that Google both contests the original fine and insists it has met the European Commission's requirements that it does not favour its own companies.
True -- it has allowed a problem to become a new revenue stream and any company may now bid to go in those shopping square windows at the top of the results page. It's just that Google nearly always wins this auction.
If Google cannot see that it is a problem it is continually winning its own auctions, then it is either ridiculously stupid or trying to pull a fast one. I know which of those two scenarios I, and its rivals, believe is the more accurate picture.
Trust me -- the way things are in Europe right now, Google is looking at another massive fine even before the Commission looks more deeply in to its AdWords and Android investigations.
