One of my most memorable students, who had seen the greatest academic and attitude improvement, came from a family that would never had been able to pay for tutoring. She drove my commitment to help students without the resources to pay a private tutor."

AMER (2009)
Ana is a young woman in thrall to her carnal fantasies in this French psychological thriller. An homage to the Giallo of the 70s and 80s, the film blends eroticism with European slasher movie traditions set in a haunted house on the C�te d'Azur.

THOU WAST MILD AND LOVELY (2014)
"Josephine Decker has created a new style of thriller that employs allegory, incorporates touches of David Lynch as well as Magritte -esque imagery.

Kevin Hillstrom: MineThatData: Incremental Value: Show Me How To Do It!!
Incremental Value: Show Me How To Do It!!
There are myriad ways to measure incremental value. I tend to prefer regression models. But 99.9% of us aren't ever going to run a regression model. So we have to look at another methodology, don't we?
The first thing we need to do is find "equal" customers. If there's one thing I've learned over twenty-four years of analyzing customer behavior, it is this ... so much of the data we hear about in trade journals and vendor communications is biased and wrong, because customers have not been "equalized". So let's pick "equal customers", or at least do the best we can.
In this example, we evaluate the fabled "mobile" customer. Now, you lived through the e-commerce revolution ... you heard all the stories about how much more valuable e-commerce customers are. Then we lived through a decade of customer transition, and found out that e-commerce customers were not more valuable, not in the least bit. Instead, we learned that wealthy customers were the first to transition to e-commerce, completely blinding us to what was really happening.
The same thing is happening in the "mobile revolution".
When you run a query to measure the "impact of mobile", try to identify customers that are relatively equal.
Freeze your customer file, on, say, July 1.
Pick customers with a purchase in the past 0-3 months, and exactly two purchases in the past year.
Segment customers ... e-commerce only vs. e-commerce and mobile in their history.
Measure spend by channel, from July 1 to September 30.
Do you see an appreciable difference in subsequent customer behavior? No.
You'll see this situation transpire, often. Customers are switching channels. Channels are not offering additional value.
Now, you'll still have to invest in new channels, no doubt. But there's no inclination that the new channel will turbocharge your business into future riches.
This is an easy analysis.
Almost nobody chooses to do this style of analysis.
Those looking for quick ways to make money online would be wise to take note of this. The risk of targeting the wrong market is just too much of a risk to ignore.

Disney welcomes OtterBox to its D-Tech mobile device case product line
Tags:custom cell phone cased-techdisneymobile deviceotterboxprotective case
We can welcome a new mobile device protection case manufacturer to the Disney family. OtterBox has been announced as the "Official Protective Case" of Walt Disney World and Disneyland as part of a new multi-year strategic alliance. Its cases will be offered as part of the D-Tech custom cell phone case service.
This will bring OtterBox cases to several D-Tech locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort and eventually expand OtterBox's in-park presence, offering guests a way to protect their vacation memories with the No. 1-most trusted mobile case brand (according to The NPD Group/Retail Tracking Service).
"The collaboration between OtterBox and Disney allows us to combine the trusted protection of OtterBox with the magic of Disney Parks," OtterBox CEO Jim Parke said. "Not only can we help protect guests' precious memories inside the park and beyond, but we can help them express their passion for Disney with cases that represent some of their favorite characters and attractions."
We've been users of the OtterBox cell phone cases for a number of years and are happy with their endurance. Like all cases, they're not going to protect your device from the most extreme incidents (slamming a car door on it, in our case), but we were otherwise happy.
OtterBox will also collaborate with Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media to offer a wide variety of brand new case designs. The first will be a signature series called the Classic Disney Collection, featuring timeless Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse designs on OtterBox Symmetry Series for iPhone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus.
"This alliance joins two companies that share a commitment to providing high-quality products and experiences," said Carlos Castro, vice president of Disney Corporate Alliances. "We are thrilled to collaborate with OtterBox and look forward to introducing a variety of new Disney-inspired merchandise for our guests to enjoy."
Symmetry Series Classic Disney Collection cases are available now for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus on otterbox.com and are coming soon to D-Tech retail locations at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort.
(FYI, no compensation was received for this post, just wanted to share the news, yo.)

Wonderscope Children's Museum of Kansas City's mission is sparking a lifelong love of learning through the power of play. We provide fun, dynamic exhibits and programs that integrate the arts, sciences and literature for children ten and under, their parents and teachers from across the Kansas City area. Our members and visitors today enjoy our exhibits and programs in our museum facility in Shawnee, Kansas, as well as in our Wonderscope Live and Wonderscope on Wheels outreach programs throughout the metropolitan area. In the future, we will be building a new, world-class children's museum for the Kansas City metropolitan area.


As many students will be new to the studio, a further expansion on the subject is required: Studio uniforms will be mandatory for all Pre-School and Kinder Dance classes (ages 3-6) as well as all Ballet/Modern/Lyrical & Contemporary classes.
We have been pondering the concept of studio uniforms for several years now and have decided to finally put this practise into place. Most studios do have mandatory uniforms for all levels of classes. Uniforms are beneficial for several reasons.
Most parents new to the dance scene are unfamiliar with what their child requires for class. Having a standard uniform makes it much easier for you the parents and helps eliminate the standard question of "What does my child need?".
Being in a location where there is no dance outlet near-by makes it difficult to find appropriate dance attire for children and teenagers. Having an in-studio resource makes it convenient for parents to acquire the appropriate items and eliminate the dilemma of where and what to purchase.
Standard uniforms for younger levels helps to eliminate "clothing envy" and allows for the children to better focus on the tasks at hand and not what their friends are wearing. We do have several opportunities throughout the year for the students to dress up and express their creative freedom on special occasions.
Dressing alike in proper dance attire assists the students in feeling like they are part of a special group and thus perform and interact better with one another.
Having a dress code helps to establish the beginnings of simple discipline which is all a part of the dance experience. For the younger children...the onus is more on the parents to ensure their outfit is clean on dance day and they arrive dressed in their uniform, with hair done. As they get older the responsibility moves to the child.
When children are dressed appropriately it helps them to feel and perform like dancers.
R.A.D. (Royal Academy of Dance) Regulation Uniforms will be required for all Ballet, Lyrical, Modern and pointe classes.
Only select items in boutique will be allowed....no substitutions or items of similar colour purchased elsewhere will be accepted. Please follow the links on your parent portal once you registered for classes. Uniform information will be posted under shared files, and then class files. If you are unsure which items you need, please do not hesitate to ask at registration. There are optional items available but not mandatory for class. Boys uniforms are also available. A standard white dance tee and optional black leggings or shorts for ballet, and black jazz pants for combo class.
Acceptable dance warmups are now available through the boutique. There are wraps and shorts for all levels in your choice of black or pink. These are especially beneficial during the winter months when students first arrive to class. If your child tends to get cold easy, please purchase proper dance warm-ups for them and refrain from sending them into class with big sweaters and jackets on. Appropriate warm ups allow children the freedom to move properly and execute steps without restriction and assist in injury prevention by keeping muscles nice and warm.
Tap and jazz students ages 7 years and up are welcome and encouraged to wear studio uniforms, however the set styles and colours are not mandatory. Any style of bodysuit and tights, unitards, booty shorts, jazz pants and tap skirts are all acceptable. Proper dance warm ups are advised. Absolutely no tee shirts, gym shorts and sweat-pants will be allowed or considered appropriate dance wear. School gym strip is also not considered appropriate dance clothes.
Any style of bodysuit, unitard, booty shorts or capri pants are all acceptable. Please no footed tights, baggy clothing or loose fitting pants to ensure proper spotting for tumbling elements. Bare feet is best but foot undeez and slip on Jazz shoes are also acceptable as well as beige capri tights. Proper dance warm ups are advised. Absolutely no earrings, necklaces, watches etc. that can hinder spotting and dancer safety.
T-Shirt and Sweat pants are acceptable. Please ensure clothing items do not have zippers, rhinestones, rivets, buttons ect that can scratch and harm both the floor as well as the students when performing floor moves. Chuck Taylor Black and White Converse high top sneakers will be the set shoe for all street jazz classes as well as the required shoe for costume/competition and year end performance. Please check the studio boutique for more info..
All studio uniforms should be sized and ordered during registration week. The boutique will be set up for two days at the Kimberley location and One day at our Cranbrook location. Please use this opportunity to order all items needed. We do not have access to an actual "store" area, so all items will go back into storage after registration week is finished. Orders placed at registration should arrive by the first or second week of classes. Please do not wait until the first week of classes to place your order. It is far too busy the first week to assist you with late orders as well as the fact that your child will be without the appropriate uniform and shoes for several weeks at that point. If you are at all unsure of what your child needs, please do not hesitate to ask and ensure you order the correct apparel.
Jazz: Black Balera or Capezio Slip on Jazz oxfords. Tights and leggings of your choice.
Tap: Black Balera or Bloch split sole Slip On Tap shoes fitted with proper taps.
Pre-School and Kinder Dance: Girls-Black Merry Janes/Boys-Black Balera Amplify Shoes. Tights and leggings of your choice.
Acro: Black slip on jazz shoes or bare feet. Bare legs or beige capri tights.
Street Jazz: Chuck Taylor Black and White Converse high top sneakers. Tights and leggings of your choice.
Undergarments: Proper dance undergarments only. Please ensure your dancer has appropriate support wear (Boys and girls) and that under garments are not showing. Underwear is not necessary underneath bodysuits as these garments are designed to accommodate for this. If necessary, please purchase an approved studio body liner for your child to ensure they are properly supported and modestly covered during classes and performances.
Cell Phones: Students are asked to please leave their cell phones off and in the studio lounge during class. Do not bring them into class with your dance bag! Students caught talking or texting during class time will have their phones confiscated.
Because we operate from a rented space, please follow the rules posted. Hang up coats and clothing and place shoes in shoe rack. Place all garbage in cans provided. Sit quietly in studio lounge between classes. No extra food or drink please if possible. Do not bring extra friends to class or waiting area. Do not damage or mark up walls in bathrooms, on bulletin board, and in hallways. Anyone found doing damage to property will be charged for repairs. Please do not bring valuables or money to class.
Parents Watch Days: To enhance the quality of teaching provided, K.D.A. operates on a closed-door policy. Less distraction leads to more learning. Parents will be invited to observe their child's progress at pre-determined watch days and for the younger dancers, parent participation weeks. We strongly encourage open communication between staff members, students and parents. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's progress at any time throughout the year, please feel free to contact the director via e-mail or phone.


In the 25th chapter of the book of Matthew, Jesus tells an intriguing story. He introduces us to two servants who are each given a certain amount of talents by their master. They each invest the money wisely and double what was given to them.
Those are painful words. Those are convicting words.
As a servant of Jesus, I pray those words will not be my declaration before my Lord. As a pastor, it is my sincere prayer those words will not be your declaration before our Lord.
My friends, God has made a deposit into your life, a good deposit. And He is looking for a return on His investment. He has a right to expect you to bear good fruit.
Don't you think it's time to break out your shovel, dig up those talents, and invest them in the Kingdom of God?
Yep! It really is "National Marriage Week!" Bet you didn't even know that one existed! But, the week of February 7-14 is set aside in our nation to invest in the fundamental building block of healthy families—good marriages.
Although there's plenty of research that shows marriage does indeed help people become healthy, wealthy, and wise (see http://www.nationalmarriageweekusa.org/Marriage-Provides-Better-Health.htm for the statistics), by far the best case to be made for marriage is that it was God's idea. His ideas are quite unlike mine. While I might have a good idea every so often (my wife says usually 1 out of 3), ALL of His ideas are good. Every single one. He never misses. And if marriage was dreamed up in the heart of God, you can rest assured that it not only CAN work, but can work BEAUTIFULLY.
This week, I encourage you to check out the following resources to invest in your own marriage. If you're not married yourself, then pray for the marriages of the people in your life and consider sharing the info with them. We need healthy marriages in our church family and in our city. Let's do what it takes to see them built!
"What Snuck In Through the Garden Door," Pastor Eric's message from February 2nd, will be available online soon!

Hardcover (9/20/2019)
MP3 CD (5/16/2017)
Compact Disc (5/16/2017)
In a timely and incisive follow-up to her national bestseller Men Explain Things to Me, Rebecca Solnit offers sharp commentary on women who refuse to be silenced, misogynistic violence, the fragile masculinity of the literary canon, the gender binary, the recent history of rape jokes, and much more.
In her characteristic style, Solnit mixes humor, keen analysis, and sharp insight in these eleven essays.
Tanya Eby is an Audie-nominated and AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator. AudioFile magazine says, "Listening to Tanya Eby is like listening to a full-cast recording." Tanya has a BA in English language and literature and an MFA in creative writing. Besides narrating, Tanya blogs and works on her own novels. She has published four novels and is at work on her fifth.


I'm here today with a dear friend, Christa Orecchio, who is a clinical and holistic nutritionist and founder of The Whole Journey. She has helped thousands and thousands of people discover the root cause of their conditions by using food as medicine and a mind-body-spirit approach to health.
Christa is truly one of the happiest, most honest, most joyful people I know as well as being a bestselling author, a TV show host, and a mom of an adorable little boy. At the same time, she also understands on a personal and clinical level what moms go through as they to make their way through the stresses of everyday life.
It's my hope this episode will help explain why so many mom experience negative health symptoms due to out-of-whack stress hormones, and natural ways to get the nervous system back on track.
Have you had trouble with your hormones? Which questions should I pass on to Christa for a part 2? Let me know! Please drop a comment below or leave a review on iTunes. We value knowing what you think and this helps other moms find the podcast as well!
This episode is sponsored by Four Sigmatic, maker of some of my favorite coffees, teas and drink mixes all infused with superfood mushrooms like Reishi, Cordyceps, Chaga, Turkey Tail and Lion's Mane. Many of their formulations also include adaptogens, which are herbs that help our bodies adapt to stress and other beneficial ingredients all tucked into convenient packets that you can add to hot or cold water for a quick drink. My personal favorite is their mushroom coffee because I already drink coffee and adding in superfood mushroom is an easy way to upgrade my morning cup. I also keep packets in my purse for when I am out and about, especially when I am traveling. If you aren't familiar with the many benefits of these mushrooms, they contain things like polyphenols, polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and antioxidants that support the immune system. And they aren't just great for us… they actually improve the environment in several ways too! They help the soil in a process called bioremediation, or the breakdown of down toxic compounds that have infiltrated water or soil. Fungi have been shown to break down and help eliminate a variety of hazardous chemicals. They're truly something you can feel great about consuming, both for your own health and for the environment.

This episode is sponsored by Kasandrinos Olive Oil. I love family-owned companies with a mission and that are dedicated to making the highest quality products and supporting sustainable agriculture and this olive oil fits the bill. Founded by an active duty marine, Tony Kasandrinos, and his sister whose family is from Greece, this company is dedicated to the absolutely highest quality olive oil with the most amazing flavor. With all the controversy over some olive oils being adulterated and diluted, they go above and beyond to test for purity. In fact, all of their olive oil has 3 independent chemical analysis tests done by 3rd party labs. Two are conducted in Europe and another in the United States. These tests confirm the freshness, oleic acid levels and that the olive oil is organic. They use cold press extraction to retain the beneficial properties and use Koroneiki olives which contain very high levels of polyphenols, which are the well-studied beneficial component of olive oil. Their olives are harvested within 50km of their family press in Lakonia Greece and are non-GMO, USDA certified organic, and PGI certified.

Here is me and a dog.
Here is me and weak walkability.
Here is me and a big drive way with a far setback to the house.
Here is me and a milkshake and some houses that fit in very nicely.
Here is me and a friendly fountain.
The white space is bold and Street Trip loves it. Ready for urban infill! Meanwhile, out on the range, the NCK effort has expanded to the Wissahickon neighborhood, shown here in a map provided by urban planner Jillian Puleo Dierks. The large parcels to the right are part of the heavily wooded Wissahickon Valley Park (the "Wiss" or "Wissy" in the vernacular). The yellow area is already within the Wissahickon Watershed Overlay District, important for water quality because the creek joins the Schuylkill River immediately above one of our drinking water intakes. Compact walkable development patterns like those found in Roxborough are also important for watershed health, as they preserve large swaths of forest and wetland, and, compared to sprawl, reduce impervious pavement area per capita.
If a civic association decides to pursue a Neighborhood Conservation Overlay (NCO) to protect its walkable character, every building in the overlay area must be photographed and carefully labeled. Here's intern surveyor Matt Sawyer photographing in his neighborhood, getting a head start on this big job.
Even if the "civics" don't end up pursuing NCOs, these surveys are a great way to showcase local architectural precedents, and get to know one's neighborhood.
Here are some delightful details we found along the way.
In an upcoming post we'll look at some beautiful driveways we found. Hard to believe, Harry*, but so is a no-hitter by Cole Hamels in his last start as a Phillie. Forgive us, out-of-towners, we are homers, which is why we strive to be Hall of Fame stewards of neighborhoods.
*Harry Kalas, late beloved Phillies broadcaster, laid to rest in Laurel Hill, the historic cemetery a mile from that red door.
As part of the Neighborhood Conservation Kit training for civic associations, about fifteen of of us Roxborough residents recently walked some of the newly-developed blocks that have been causing the most distress. Our neighbor Addison Geary made this short video of some of the highlights and lowlights. We hope it helps you think about some of the issues confronting our older walkable neighborhoods that are under development pressure. Not surprisingly, much of our discussion revolves around parking, parking, parking.
How are you balancing cars and pedestrians in your neighborhood?

The Maid's Failures
marathonblogger2016
The city of Paris had been more thoroughly fortified than any other fortress the Maid had encountered. The walls had slits for arrows, fortified towers on top, and "gun placements" (Castor 140). The six gates were all protected by boulevards, and a deep ditch surrounded the entire city. The duke of Bedford had called upon his forces in Normandy to join him in defending the capital. Joan and her army were in for a struggle.
The Palais de la Cite and Saint-Chapelle, viewed from the left bank, from the Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry (month of June) (1410)
On September 8, on the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin, Joan rode with her banner into battle. She started on the western side of the city by the Louvre. She led her men into the ditch with showers of rocks and arrows falling on them. She called out to the Burgundians above commanding them to surrender to her army, or they would force their way in. Given her history of success, perhaps her command wasn't completely cast aside, but her efforts at this point had been futile. Neither she nor her men had been able to scale the fortified walls, let alone penetrate them. She was then injured by a crossbow lodged in her leg, and her standard-bearer was killed right next to the Maid. The Burgundians sneered at her. When night fell, her men retreated, dragging Joan behind them. She refused to leave, but her injury and loss of blood had made her weak.
The next day, the Maid was determined to continue, but King Charles had decided otherwise. He knew the duke of Bedford's troops would arrive at any moment to help defend the city, and his warrior had failed. He sought peace with the Burgundians to unite France once and for all against the English. The Burgundians had agreed upon a truce that would last through Christmas. Charles VII was strapped for cash and thought it useless to pay soldiers during times of peace, so he sent them home. Joan was distressed and saddened. She no longer had her king's full support, and the Burgundians spun this to their advantage. They claimed that she had failed because she was not inspired by God but by the devil. The Maid had committed abomination after abomination, and thus could not receive holy inspiration from the divine.
Now that God had stopped intervening on behalf of the French, Joan was seen as a liability on the battlefield, not a source of inspiration. Her strength had come from God's interference in previous battles, but it would seem the French would have to rely on military strategy, something Joan was untrained in. The king's counsellors prevented her from fighting, even when other commanders had wished for her to join them. She was instead taken to Saint-Pierre to confront Perrinet Gressart, a mercenary who technically allied with England and Burgundy but truly acted in his own self-interest. She won the town, but still had Gressart's city of La Charite-sur-Loire to conquer. She tried to lay siege to the city, but failed after only a few weeks due to a lack of supplies and money.
Meanwhile, Henry VI of England had been crowned at the age of eight and was traveling to France, heading a massive army, for his second coronation there. The university of Paris had written to Rome to accuse the Maid of heresy, and others still did not believe in her. Joan had nothing to show for her efforts and could only hope for good things to come which would turn back the tide to her favor. But that would take a miracle.

I've found a new toy.
It makes everything look like it was ripped out of an old book, so to speak.
Costs money. $15 US. Fully functional demo download.
Just like uscomic.8bf, it often takes uninteresting images and transforms them, lifting them to higher quanta.
People like me need all the help they can get.
I mostly use the Bayer pattern, but the bubbles can be pretty good too.
I use queen (or burn), softlight, or procedural+. Overlay has worked once or twice. Some of them seem to do the same thing.
I think you've got 2 weeks to buy it before it stops working, but maybe you can rip them off for longer.
It's one of the cheapest filters made by Flaming Pear, but it's also their best. I tried out a bunch of the other more expensive ones, but I didn't find them useful. I don't think freaks like me are their target market.
I think it just adds a patterned layer and merges it with a preset method, but the Bayer method is a little more sophisticated. I'm just guessing.
One of the best rationalizations for not paying for shareware is: I'm not finished checking it out yet, I need another year. The next one is: I'm not a rich professional like they are, so I don't need to pay. Next: If they want people to buy it, then why are they giving it away for free? After that: Pretty soon I'm going to be so sick of using this thing I won't want it anymore, and why should I pay for something I don't want? Finally: Stealing is a victimless crime, like throwing a rock into a crowd.
When used with the GIMP it's really slow. Which is too bad since the GIMP has tear off menus which makes it a lot more convenient to access frequently used filters. XnView is much faster, but it's hard getting used to having only one level of undo.
What does it do? It dithers the image using a variety of patterns. Not really, but that's the general effect. Dithering is much like a texture layer, but it can also re-draw the image, creating something that is categorically different.
Dithering or half-tone patterns can be very creative, altering the color and appearance of the image in intriguing ways. But not always.
Saving as a jpg makes for smooth gradients, but to keep the colors from changing (for the worse) you'll have to up the quality to the point the file size is ridiculously big. I save them as 256 color pngs, indexed in Irfanview which has a good dithering algorithm that preserves gradients adequately.
When something works out well, ask yourself why and try to reproduce those conditions. Digital skill is all about becoming part of the algorithm.
Filters are tools, they don't do anything on their own. That just about describes me too. Computers make everything so easy. That's why we've accomplished so much.
This filter really works well with the Inkblot Kaos fractal program. I only use the first "stalks" setting, but that one makes such awesome stuff I wouldn't have time for any others. The formula parser allows you to dream up enough creative variations to keep you busy for ages.
I think of the two programs as a team: Inkblot is the pottery wheel which forms the clay, India Ink is the kiln that fires it and adds the glaze.
You can do some amazing things with those filters, especially flaming pear.
I used flaming pear several years ago and it was one of my favorites until it expired. Some of the other filters that were interesting were the ones that created solar flares.
Thanks for the post processed images that are on display here at orbit trap. I think they are unique and add the sites appeal.
Yesirree, I've got nothing but praise for them filter writing guys. There for a while it was me an' melancholytron all the way baby.
And I know I read here somewhere recently how the .8bf files can be applied in UF. So that's a new trick fer me (as opposed to Fermi).
Thanks for the compliment, Steve. Of course your programs have contributed a lot to the final results. Inkblot expecially produces these very pale gradients that India Ink reacts with very favourably.
I haven't checked out the solar flare filter or the one John mentioned, Melancholytron, but I probably will now. I found another one called "Illustrator" by Peter Bailey of Xero, his company, I guess. I creates a wonderful ink illustration effect. It's part of a multi-filter download.
John, I think the actions your referring to are usually called "scripts" if I'm thinking of the right thing. The GIMP does scripting, called "Script-fu" and it's also a series of graphic operations each of which are separate functions the graphics program does. It's amazing really, because all of these scripts are merely combinations of effects that users have discovered on their own.
Can you really copyright an Ultra Fractal parameter file?
