People come to know the world the way they come to map it—through their perceptions of how its elements are connected and of how they should move among them. This is precisely what the series is attempting by situating the map at the heart of cultural life and revealing its relationship to society, science, and religion…. It is trying to define a new set of relationships between maps and the physical world that involve more than geometric correspondence. It is in essence a new map of human attempts to chart the world.
If you head over to this page, then look in the upper left, you will see links to three volumes (available in a free PDF format). My suggestion would be to look at the gallery of color illustrations for each book, links to which you'll find below. The image above, appearing in Vol. 2, dates back to 1534. It was created by Oronce Fine, the first chair of mathematics in the Collège Royal (aka the Collège de France), and it features the world mapped in the shape of a heart. Pretty great.
Note: If you buy Vol 1. on Amazon, it will run you $248. As beautiful as the book probably is, you'll probably appreciate this free digital offering. The series will be added to our collection, 800 Free eBooks for iPad, Kindle & Other Devices.
They've made the images lo-res so you can't see much detail – sad.
Why such amount of work with scanning etc. whilst such poor quality of pictures? It's neither fun nor avail downloading these low-resolution images of the maps. Waste of time, sad!
No mention of rock painting cartography which undoubtedly are some of the oldest known maps?
No bamboo maps used by Polynesian seafarers?
Most ambitious overview ever? I don't think so.
Poor quality images. Very sad.

Q: Как проверить правильно ли введен рост в футах и дюймах? Программа запрашивает рост в футах и дюймах. Нужно преобразовать рост в футах и дюймах в рост в дюймах (1 фут = 12 дюймов).
Ввод роста должен производиться в формате (футы.дюймы). Максимальный размер дробной части не может превышать 11. Например, значение 5.12 не может быть принято, потому что в одном футе двенадцать дюймов, т.е. 5.12 футов == 6 футов. Я начал решать задачу, но столкнулся с проблемой: если принятое значение поместить в переменную типа float, то это значение нужно проверить на правильность прежде чем продолжить вычисления. Я использовал для этого функцию modff(), которая помещает целую и дробную части числа в две разные переменные. Как можно проверить дробную часть на правильность, если, например, 5.1 и 5.10 воспринимаются как одно число, но если речь идет о футах и дюймах, то это два разных числа. Ниже я привожу код, который написал. Помогите, пожалуйста, продолжить его или предложите другое решение.
//calculate BMI
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    const double Inches_per_foot = 12;

    float height;
    cout << "Enter your height in foots and inches: _____\b\b\b\b\b";
    cin >> height;
    float foots ;
    float inches = modff(height, &foots);
    cout << foots << " - The integer part of number" << inches << " - The
float part of number " << endl;
    if ( inches >= 0.12 )
    {
        cout << "Error: Inches value must be less than 12" << endl;
    }
    else if (  )
    {

    }
    else
    {
    cout << " foots = " << foots << ", inches = " << inches << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

A: Если вы видите число с точкой, то это не значит, что тип — float. Вы имеете дело с двумя целыми значениями (футы и дюймы), и хранить их надо как два целых значения.
К слову, запись футов и дюймов через точку — неверная. Если вы встретите надпись "5.12 футов", то это означает "5 футов и 12∕100 фута", а вовсе не "5 футов и 12 дюймов". "5 футов и 12 дюймов" традиционно записываются как "5´12˝" с вариациями символов и пробелов.

A: #include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <string>
int main()
{
using namespace std;

string input{};
int foots{};
int inches{};
cout << "Enter your height in foots and inches: _____\b\b\b\b\b";
while (true)
{
    cin >> input;
    float foots;
    //float inches = modff(height, &foots);
    int pos = input.find_first_of('.');
    if (pos > 0)
    {
        string sfoots = input.substr(0, pos);
        string sinches = input.substr(pos + 1);
        foots = atoi(sfoots.c_str());
        inches = atoi(sinches.c_str());
    }
    else
    {
        if (input.size() > 0)
        {
            foots = atoi(input.c_str());
        }
    }

        if (inches > 11)
        {
            cout << "Wrong inches. Retype height in foots and inches" << endl;
            cout << "Enter your height in foots and inches: _____\b\b\b\b\b";
        }
        else
        {
            cout << foots << " - The integer part of number   " << inches << " - The float part of number " << endl;
            cout << "The size in inches:" << foots * 12 + inches<<endl;
            break;
        }
}
system("pause");

PREVIEW: TOWN V BIRMINGHAM
Grant Pringle
Skipper says the lads are 'raring to go' again this evening to follow up Tuesday night's impressive win away at Leeds
Skipper Luke Chambers believes the squad is eager to get back out on the pitch again after Tuesday's victory over Leeds.
Chambo believes the change of mood in the camp has been clear to see between Friday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of Reading and the triumph over the Whites which followed soon after.
"The dressing-room was bouncing again on Tuesday night, having been very flat after the Reading defeat," he told the official Club website.
"That's to be expected but we didn't want to start doubting ourselves so thankfully we put that right on Tuesday at Leeds."
"We certainly deserved the three points and we want to get a bit of a run going now. We did that at a similar stage last season and it really helped us get some momentum going."
He was full of praise at the job Birmingham boss, Gary Rowett has done since taking over the helm at St. Andrews, and he is expecting a tough match against a side full of quality on Friday evening.
"Gary is a man I know well and I think he deserves huge praise for the job he's done at Birmingham," he added.
"They finished around 9th or 10th last season, from a position when he took over looked like they were dead and buried. He's got them going and we know they will be a well organised side.
"We need to make sure we approach the game the same way we did at Leeds. We got back to basics and it was the Ipswich of old, I thought."
Freddie Sears has shaken off a knock he sustained prior to the victory over Leeds and will go back into the squad for the visit of Birmingham. Cole Skuse limped off against the Whites but trained on Thursday and is also available for the Blues. One player who is a doubt is Ryan Fraser. He was taken off on Tuesday and did not train on Thursday, although Mick McCarthy will assess the damage on Friday to determine whether he will be fit enough to play.
Gary Rowett hinted that Andrew Shinnie may make his first league start of the season for the Blues at Portman Road. Shinnie has been on the fringes due to the impressive form of Arsenal loanee Jon Toral. Elsewhere, Rowett has no real injury issues to contend with and will come to Suffolk with a relatively full squad to choose from.
Where they stand
Town – 5th
Birmingham – 7th
Last time they met
Freddie Sears was at the double as he helped Town to a 4-2 victory last time these two sides faced off in February. Tyrone Mings and a last minute Kevin Bru strike added to Freddie's goals, and helped Town to all three points, despite a brace from Birmingham's David Davis.
Christophe Berra
The Scottish defender has scored three times against Birmingham in the past two seasons, including a double in the 2-2 draw at the beginning of last season. He is an imposing figure in the Blues defence and will need to be on guard for the visit of Gary Rowett's team.
The striker is ever the goal threat and bagged a hat-trick in their recent win over Bristol City at St. Andrews. Donaldson's height and stature makes him a danger in the air, although he is also handy with his feet and has laid on four goals for his team-mates, in addition to his hat-trick, this season so far.
A reminder that tonight's game is a 'Kids for a Quid' promotion, with U16s available to purchase a ticket for just £1 this evening. Tickets can be bought online via www.itfcdirect.com or in person at Planet Blue.
Town go into the match as 10/11 favourites over their opponents who are available at 3/1 to win the match. The draw can be taken at 5/2 presently also. Fresh from keeping a clean sheet on Tuesday, can Town do so again? The bookies have them at 13/8 for another shut-out against Birmingham.

The Scottish Executive has appointed CB Hillier Parker's Scottish planning and development consulting team to review the effectiveness of its NPPG8 planning policy guidance note on town centres and retailing.
The study will look at the sequential approach; the proximity of new sites to established town centres and the definition of sustainable retail-based centres. It will try to improve procedures for promoting town centre opportunities, retail impact and the question of retail deprivation in some areas.

Recessions and depressions are always accompanied with reluctance towards new business opportunities. Society becomes focused on cutting back and trying to ensure financial survival.
However, as the crowd moves to the extreme in one direction the smart entrepreneur and investor dances to a different beat.
The crowd usually gets it wrong.
While spotting the important turning points is hugely difficult, it is safe to say when it comes to predicting future trends the majority of people screw up at the worst time to screw up.
When it comes to making decisions based on future trends, doing what everyone else is doing is rarely the right idea. It might work out for a short time, but usually ends up going wrong soon enough.
Going against the conventional wisdom when it comes to future trends, however short lived it might be, is difficult to do. It's hard to ignore the millions of voices chanting the same conventional 'wisdom'. But the more people chanting it, the more likely it is wrong.
Conventional wisdom tells most entrepreneurs and investors to avoid new businesses in a recession. The worse the recession gets and the longer it lingers, the more that idea becomes entrenched.
Starting or growing a business in a downturn is certainly not easy, far from it, that conventional wisdom is certainly coming from somewhere.
Investment is scarce, consumers are spending less, and taxes and regulations are on the rise. No wonder everyone thinks its a bad time to start a business.
A downturn changes the playing field. What was once normal begins to change rapidly. Companies that got comfortable like a retired grandad in his chair, aren't so fast at moving when the fire starts.
People's demands and interests begin to change drastically. Notice how darker themed, and often violent shows are now quickly becoming hits on TV, leaving the happy go lucky comedies of the 90s a distant memory?
The downturn is also chopping away at the once sturdy legs of the traditional media industry. Ad revenues, the lifeblood of traditional media, are dropping and power is shifting to the independent publisher. Those bloggers and independant websites have lower costs, strong niche expertise, the ability to attract higher paying niche advertisers, and usually more inventive ways to make money like affiliate marketing and paid memberships.
Wealth tends not to be destroyed, but instead it just changes hands.
It's certainly not going to be easy, but the smart and determined entrepreneur can build a growing and successful business during an economic downturn.
Such new innovative companies are key to softening the blow of the downturn and providing new opportunities for jobs and growth. The survivors and emerging business from the economic embers will pave the way for recovery. They are the future.
Take a look at a list of well known companies that started during economic downturns.

Q: Ruby gem build (with executable) shows Warning: bin/some_cmd is not executable Why do I get this warning when building a ruby gem that has an executable? However, when I install the gem, the executable works perfectly.
$ gem build mygem.gemspec
$ gem install mygem-0.1.0.gem
WARNING:  bin/rdiag is not executable
$ rdiag
===> WORKS FINE!!!

Why do I get the warning? I've created gems before and don't recall seeing this warning.

A: For me, this was because the file was never set as executable. If you're working in a bash terminal you can run:
chmod ugo+x bin/rdiag
Then, next time you run the build command you will no longer see the warning. It is just a warning though, not a build-breaker.

Q: Using Server 2008 as a router, DHCP, DNS, and AD So I'm fairly new to Windows Server 2008 R2, and I'm looking to get my hands dirty and get a test box going on my home network by creating a domain. This is the first time I've done something like this from scratch, and I have a few questions that I need some sound advice on.
Before elaborating, here's my setup: internet -> dsl modem with static IP -> server 2008 (2 LAN ports) -> switch -> clients
So what I have done is setup Server 2008 with DNS, DHCP, and AD. I have an intermediate understanding of both of them, and was able to get the DHCP addresses transmitting. I ran into problems with DNS and internet access, and I think I've done something wrong as far as routing.
Do I set one of the LAN ports with the static IP and then a local IP on the other and a crossover cable to the switch? Do I need to setup routing in 2008? Are there any good resources for someone in my position? Thanks faulters!

A: If it's a switch, then I would have the dsl modem plugged into the switch and your server plugged into the switch instead of the path you have described.  The dhcp setup wizard should get you going pretty easily in that respect.  Try this configuration and see if one of your clients can pull and IP address from your server.
Also, I would have a router or firewall in between the modem and switch, if for no other reason to assign it a gateway address to it.  Then you can statically assign that information to your server to pull internet acces for it.

Q: Pentaho Excel File download I want to develop a module which can download any number of different excel files from FTP Server depending on end user requirement. Any ideas on building this. Thanks for your help!

A: I have got nothing about reinventing the wheel. The wheel was a good invention in the first place, and I would worry more of the invention than are not reinvented.
Therefore:
If the Microsoft Excel Input of a transformation cannot reach your file server, download them in a job before with one of the File transfer steps.
Then put your user requirement in a set of parameters and launch kitchen with that set of parameters. This can be done in a bat (or sh) file or... or...
Or, wait a minute, are you looking to do something useful for the community: write a plugin for an interactive input step: something like the Data grid step which would open a screen on your terminal and ask for values. Of course the real fun is going to come when users will ask you how to use it in remote batch jobs...

City Council brews up a new partnership with Marston's
City of Wolverhampton Council has developed its first Primary Authority Partnership with Marston's PLC to provide national bespoke business support one of the largest employers in the city.
A Primary Authority Partnership provides businesses with the opportunity to receive assured and tailored advice from a chosen local authority to meet environmental health and trading standards regulations.
The new partnership will enable Marston's PLC to benefit from:
a single point of contact at the local authority who knows the business
reliable and robust assured advice
consistency of regulation across Marston's sites
a reduction in unnecessary checks and inspections for businesses
overall reduction of business risk
From a local authority perspective, the scheme:
supports local economic growth through stronger business relationships
improves the consistency of local regulation and target resources on high risk areas
protects front line resources through recovery costs
City of Wolverhampton Council has operated a successful home authority arrangement with Marston's PLC for food hygiene for a substantial period, which has led to the new partnership.
Councillor Steve Evans, Cabinet Member for City Environment at City of Wolverhampton Council said: "This is the first partnership of its kind for the city and I'm pleased to be developing our existing relationship with one of Wolverhampton's largest employers.
"We have a fantastic relationship with Marston's and I'm pleased to see the city council as their Primary Authority to support them on a national level."
Richard Webster, Group Head of Health and Safety at Marston's PLC said: "We have been working closely with Wolverhampton City Council for a long time now and have seen the benefit to having accessibility and valid business support on both a local pub and head office level.

Tune of the Day: The Galway Hornpipe
Nothing to do with Sir James: the name of this tune refers to the Irish city of Galway. It's a hornpipe, term that identifies an English step dance which was originally accompanied by a wooden hornpipe. Hornpipes also appear in the works of famous composers such as Purcell and Handel.
Although this melody should be played somewhat fast, don't forget that it's better to start practicing slowly and carefully.

Originally, the binder mechanisim of my Mermaid Book was held in place by brads, one in each end of the mechanism. I started having problems getting it to stay in place after I added lots of pages. Looking for a solution, I headed off to the local Tru-Value hardware store. I love to look through the hardware bins anyway, and the people are always very helpful. The person at the store I went to helped me to find 1⁄4" screws and nuts to put on the shafts.
I'm making pieces that can be added to my mermaid book! In this case, I've stamped on multi-media paper and deli paper. I've used various colors of ink because I'm not sure exactly how I will be using all of these. Next, I will use Inktense pencils to add some watercolor effects to some of them. I may also use some paint effects over that, such as high gloss or crackle.
I worked on the cover of my mermaid book yesterday. I have decided that the title is "Mermaid Tales". I added a picture of mermaids to the front, along with some word art. I was given the dimensional mermaid by a friend, and the crab may or may not stay. I'm thinking about it. I want to add some more dimensional materials to the cover, but I have to let this all dry first, so I don't disturb it.
On Monday, you saw the start of the mermaid book that I made during the class on Saturday. You saw one page in the book. Yesterday, I made more pages. Specifically, I worked on shaped pages! They aren't finished, but I thought you might like to see what I have so far. The first one is a nautilus shell. I like the shape because it reminds me of Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (c.
On Saturday I attended a class given by Regina Portscheller, in which we created ring binder art journals. We made the binders from scratch, building them up from book board, collaging and painting the cover and attaching the ring mechanism. I am making a book about Mermaids, so I chose to paint my cover a watery aqua color. The inside of the cover is also collaged and painted just like the outside.
This was a struggle. I loved the underlying colors (you can't see the silver, but it is there,) and design. I loved the flowers and the black design on the left. And then a period of time went by, and I tried to finish this last night so I could post it for today. You know what? That's not a good reason to make art. I have lost the flow, I'm tired now.
As I was creating the background for this layout, I had nothing specific in mind for finishing it. I just liked the soothing, calm colors. I got to the point where I felt it was finished, but I didn't know what to add for a focal point. So I went window shopping in the stamp cabinet. I was drawn to the rowing person. To me, it also was calm and serene.
I found this sign in the magazine that I was tearing up to make these pages. I loved the colors and the shapes of the letters. So I cut it out, not having a total plan in mind at the time. Yesterday, I was looking at it, and I also found scraps of papers with the pink and orange colors, so I decided to make this page. In particular, I wanted strong, swirly shapes that reminded me of air, and breathing.
Sometimes it's hard to know when to stop. This one almost got away from me. I am making a larger Mermaid book, so I thought I would turn this page into a tiny version of one of the quotes. It didn't originally start with that in mind. Originally, I was going with the influence of dots and circles. But the colors were so watery looking, I just went for it.
I am definitly falling in love with this style. I'm considering doing it on a larger scale when I finish this month's self-challenge! This started with some red strips torn from a magazine advertisement. I decided to add some strips of black scrapbook paper with a check pattern. At that point I made the decision to go with black, white and red only to see if I could make it work.
I haven't posted any pictures from my tiny TN art journals in a while, so I thought I would show you the one I did yesterday. The materials used here are torn design paper, matte medium, Posca pens, stamps, Archival ink, metallic gel pens and regular gel pen. This is a fairly simple technique that creates a big impact. I am really happy with the way it came out.
On Friday, I posted a version of this page from my 3-ring art journal. I thought I was finished, but I wanted to look at it for a couple of days because something felt unfinished about it. I decided to add some more to the lower third of the page. Nothing obtrusive, I didn't want anything to vie with the octopus that is the focal point. It just needed something to balance it out.


Banks have profited heavily for the past few decades by selling PPI to customers who took out loans and credit cards and those who applied for mortgages.
The purpose of the PPI was to meet a customer's repayments if they were unable to do so because of sickness, accident or unemployment.
If sold in the right way, PPI is a useful product. However, many banks did not carry out the necessary checks to ensure the customer met the criteria for the policy. Some banks went as far as including PPI without the customer's consent or knowledge. This is classed as mis-selling, leading many consumers to reclaim what they've paid in PPI charges.
If you've ever had a loan, credit card or mortgage, it is worth checking to see if you had PPI.

# Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman 1984 Movie News
Wonder Woman 1984 is finally hitting theaters and streaming, but already attention is turning to a potential third installment and who may direct it.
Patty Jenkins has directed both Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, but it appears her involvement in a third is a done deal. In a lengthy interview with The New York Times, Jenkins shared thoughts on a number of topics, including specifically the move to HBO Max and her future with the Amazonian Princess.
Jenkins was asked when she learned of the plan to include HBO Max, and said, "Two or three weeks before we announced it. It was weird, because the whole year I was afraid of that, and everybody at the studio kept saying, "No way, we'll never do that," because you have to make so much money with this thing. So when they suggested it, I was shocked. We did not agree right away — it was a very, very long process, and I don't know that they would have let us disagree based on what they've been doing now. But I was conveniently into it for this movie."
And with this plan to release every Warner Bros. film to HBO Max in 2021, Jenkins was asked if the genie could be put back in the bottle, and she isn't sure. "I would like to believe that it is temporary, but I'm not sure I do," said Jenkins "But I'll tell you, some studio's going to go back to the traditional model and cause tremendous upheaval in the industry, because every great filmmaker is going to go work there. And the studios that make this radical change [of moving their theatrical releases to a streaming service], particularly without consulting the artists, will end up with a very empty slate of quality filmmakers working there."
With Star Wars: Rogue Squadron on her schedule for a 2023 release, one would assume Wonder Woman 3 would be her next film, but it may not be yet. "We'll see what happens," said Jenkins. I really don't know. I know that I'd love to do the third one if the circumstances were right and there was still a theatrical model possible. I don't know that I would if there wasn't."
For now, we'll just have to wait and see what the next few years bring for the film industry as a whole.
Wonder Woman 1984 will release in theaters and on HBO Max in the U.S. on Dec. 25. Select international locations saw the film released on Dec. 16.

Today I have the October COTM shades from Girly Bits Cosmetics to share with you. Fall is officially here which means rich deep shades and Halloween vibes. Let's take a look at swatches.
Red Sky At Night features a saturated cranberry red jelly base filled with copper shimmer, fuchsia to copper shifting multichrome flakes and tiny holo gold glitters. In bright lighting this shades takes on a berry hue. In shaded lighting it becomes a red to burnt orange shifter. The formula was easy to work with taking three coats for full coverage. However, it was so close after two that I imagine two will be enough if you have shorter nails or a less distinct nail line than me. This dries relatively smoothly but top coat will smooth out the occasional flakie divot for a perfect finish. Photos show three coats of Red Sky At Night with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics Glitter Glaze top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Aurora Twilight is a charcoal grey holo with a berry-pink sheen and a healthy dose of metallic flakies in shades of fuchsia, orange, green and gold. The formula was very easy to work with taking three coats for full coverage. This dries quite smoothly on its own but I added top coat out of habit. Photos show three coats of Aurora Twilight with one coat of Girly Bits Glitter Glaze top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

It's a simple doorbell that can play melodies and audiorecords from I2C flash-memory chip. The device has two parts - digital and analog. The digital part used the microcontroller AT89C2051 and flash-memory AT24C256.
Power control is useful when soldering. It allows to keep the temperature of a soldering tip at the optimal level, reducing its destruction and extends its life. I found in the Web two circuits of microcontroller power regulator by L.I. Ridiko. These devices are control the power by changing the number of half cycles through mains soldering iron on the second. The higher power set, the more half-cycles will go on a soldering iron and the less will be a pause between them. Because the switching occurs in moments of transition of line voltage through the zero, electrical noise, caused by the regulator, will be minimal.
This device is based on AT89C2051 microcontroller and allows to display HDD and network usage.

When you purchase a roll of film for your camera, you have a lot of choices. Those products that have the word "color" in their name are generally used to produce color prints that you can hold in your hand and view by reflected light. The negatives that are returned with your prints are the exposures that were made in your camera. Those products that have the word "chrome" in their name produce a color transparency (slides) that requires some form of projector for viewing. In this case, the returned slides are the actual film that was exposed in your camera.
Once you decide on prints or slides, the next major decision is the film speed. Generally, the relative speed rating of the film is part of its name (MYColor Film 200, for example). ISO and ASA speed ratings are also generally printed somewhere on the box. The higher the number, the "faster" the film. "Faster" means increased light sensitivity. You want a faster film when you're photographing quickly moving objects and you want them to be in focus, or when you want to take a picture in dimly lit surroundings without the benefit of additional illumination (such as a flash).
When you make film faster, the trade-off is that the increased light sensitivity comes from the use of larger silver-halide grains. These larger grains can result in a blotchy or "grainy" appearance to the picture, especially if you plan to make enlargements from a 35-mm negative. Professional photographers may use a larger-format negative to reduce the degree of enlargement and the appearance of grain in their prints. The trade-off between photographic speed and graininess is an inherent part of conventional photography. Photographic-film manufacturers are constantly making improvements that result in faster films with less grain.
A slow-speed film is desirable for portrait photography, where you can control the lighting of the subject, the subject is stationary, and you are likely to want a large print from the negative. The finer silver-halide grains in such film produce the best results.
The advanced amateur photographer might encounter additional film designations such as tungsten balanced or daylight balanced. A tungsten-balanced film is meant to be used indoors where the primary source of light is from tungsten filament light bulbs. Since the visible illumination coming from a light bulb is different than from the sun (daylight), the spectral sensitivity of the film must be modified to produce a pleasing picture. This is most important when using a transparency film.

Persona Identification
signage design
post card design
collateral materials
When a former client of ours referred us to Nantucket Health and Family Services, a nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive therapeutic mental health support for kids, couples, and families on the island of Nantucket, we were eager to help. The suicide rate (especially among kids) on the island had spiked to heartbreaking levels, and the counseling center was determined to make a difference … but they had some significant issues to overcome first.
There were numerous challenges related to their brand: too many names associated with the organization, negative financial and leadership history, confusion about services offered, and a general lack of understanding about who and what they were within the community. Their website was old and difficult to navigate, which did more to further confuse than to help them clarify their offerings. Ultimately, it became clear that the business would likely benefit from a re-branding effort and possibly a new name that would propel the organization into the future and cast off the negatives of the original brand. The new brand, Fairwinds, was thoughtfully developed to achieve just that.
The new logo was designed to represent the sea, gently swirling around a calm, safe area and/or two hands holding each other in support and safety, giving the brand the appearance of safety and assurance we were looking for. The new brand family would maintain this warm, breezy look throughout. After developing all new branded materials, we launched a substantially more informative website designed to present meaningful content using language that was easy to understand and easy to navigate. The new brand and all the new materials not only met with the approval of our clients, but also received resounding affirmation by the islander families themselves.
Fairwinds had the tools and resources to help people in their struggling community find healing and support, but their brand had been tarnished by their former management, and as a result they'd lost public trust and the confidence of their donors.
"Truthfully, a re-brand felt daunting. But the professional team at 30dps quickly put us at ease as they proved to be careful listeners—a trait we value as counselors. They stepped us through their systematic approach, gradually unveiling the brand we already knew ourselves to be and seamlessly reflecting it in our new name, logo, and all of our branded materials. Their approach to building the website was equally professional and systematic as they led us through the development process to completion. We could not be happier with the results, and we're delighted that they continue to support our marketing, design, website, and content development needs"

Edie Yates Henderson, David Henderson Killed in Apparent Random Attack, Police Say; Suspect Arrested
by Barry Friedman November 12, 2020 Updated November 14, 2020
Former City Commissioner Edie Yates Henderson and her husband, David Henderson, were brutally stabbed to death in their Lake Morton home Tuesday morning by an apparently random intruder, Lakeland police said today in announcing an arrest.
Marcelle Waldon, 36, of Lakeland, was arrested Wednesday night and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, robbery with a weapon, arson and six other crimes.
Police have not been able to establish any ties between the alleged attacker and his victims, a circumstance Assistant Police Chief Sam Taylor described as "extremely rare" during a news conference this morning.
"I've been doing this almost 32 years and I can count on one hand the number of times the victim has had no relationship or we could find no nexus between the victim and the suspect so it's extremely rare for something like this to occur," he said.
Police believe Waldon entered the three-story house at 127 Lake Morton Drive through a door left unlocked Tuesday morning when David Henderson, 63, left for a short trip to Fat Jack's to pick up take-out breakfasts for himself and his wife.
Edie Henderson, 67, had likely already been killed in the master bedroom by the time David returned home and placed a bag with unopened Styrofoam breakfast containers on a table set for two, Taylor said.
"When he couldn't raise her, we think he probably went upstairs to find out what was going on not knowing obviously what had occurred," Taylor said. "The killer was still up there, and a struggle ensued between those two and he ended up being killed subsequently as well."
Video of the news conference:
Before killing Edie Henderson, the intruder apparently forced her to sign two checks for $5,000, according to the arrest affidavit. The house was ransacked and several items were taken, including jewelry, cellphones and David's white 2016 Audi A6, Taylor said.
After his arrest on Wednesday night, Waldron admitted to police that he had been in the 100 block of Lake Morton Drive on Tuesday and that he had received the car and stolen property and tried to cash a check and use stolen credit cards, but denied he had been inside the house, according to the arrest affidavit.
The bodies were not discovered until Tuesday evening after Edie Henderson's son, Todd Baylis, became concerned that his mother had not answered his texts and had missed an appointment.
Assistant Police Chief Sam Taylor displays a photo of suspect Marcelle Waldron. Chief Ruben Garcia is in the background.
Baylis entered the house and called police when he saw that the rooms were in disarray, breakfast was still on the table and that the gas burners on the stove and oven were turned on in what Taylor described as the intruder's attempt to burn down the house and destroy evidence.
Baylis was advised to leave the house and await police. When they entered, they encountered an "absolutely horrific" crime scene, Taylor said.
Investigators have worked nonstop since then and continue pursuing leads, Taylor said. Two key elements were hearing from an acquaintance of Waldon's who was able to describe some of the stolen items and finding David Henderson's stolen Audi, which had been set afire, in a field off Oregon Avenue near the Southwest Sports Complex, Taylor said.
A car stolen from the Hendersons' driveway was burned before police found it in a field.
Waldron was arrested at the Relax Inn on Lakeland Hills Boulevard, Taylor said. He has a lengthy criminal record and was released from state prison in August 2019 after being sentenced to three years for carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.
He is being held without bond in the Polk County Jail.
Yates was a member of the Lakeland City Commission from 2006 to 2018, serving three terms, the maximum allowed. A certified public accountant and financial planner, she was managing partner at Baylis & Co. accounting firm.
Henderson, 64, was a lawyer-turned-commercial developer via his company, Henderson Properties.
She and Henderson were last in the news in August after they and three other investors purchased the iconic Terrace Hotel overlooking Lake Mirror for $7.25 million. They also own two hotels in Plant City.
At the end of today's news conference, Taylor read a message from three Henderson family members, Todd and Sarah Baylis and Will Henderson:
We wish to thank everyone at the Lakeland Police Department, detectives, and everyone who has helped us over the past few days to understand this tragic event. Your diligence and continued effort in bringing those responsible to justice is deeply appreciated. We are comforted to know that a suspect has been apprehended, but nothing can truly compensate for the loss to our family and our community.
We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers from family, friends, and the entire community. We truly feel the love and support, and we are forever grateful for that support and respect for privacy during this time.

How are Americans in Nicaragua treated? How are expats in Nicaragua treated generally?
Sort By: Most Net Positive Votes Most Recent
Marissa Gabrielle Lolk - Jireh Dental Care
Expats in Nicaragua are pretty much loved by the Nicaraguan people. Nicaraguans like foreign people regardless of what country they are from. There is not a lot of diversity here, so for example, there is an Asian community here. There are Koreans, Chinese, etc. and they are amazing to look at. Nicaraguans look at them and they are curious. Nicaraguans are interested in their culture so they ask them about themselves. It is like putting an African-American in Asia where people freak out when they see him. They want to touch their hair and look at them. It is interesting in that sense especially if you go to rural communities. If you are Caucasian, they all love to look at you. They think that that is amazing. They love blue eyes and green eyes so they are completely enamored with the idea of somebody who is not from here.
I learned history from the perspective of the US. Sometimes you get a little cocky since you are from the US and you think that you rule the world. When you come down here to Nicaragua, or even somewhere else, you are humbled because you realize that the history that we were taught was very one-sided and when you hear the other side of the story, their perspective, and the way that the US actually helped overthrow their government back in the 80s you start thinking. You will get a different perspective, that is for sure, and then you make your own opinion as to what you think really happened. It is nice to hear two sides of the story but overall, there is no resentment. Americans are very much welcome in Nicaragua.
We have a huge community where people from the embassy live and it is fun that they have normal lives and hang out with Nicaraguans and others. Expats pretty much can have Nicaraguan friends, especially if they are Caucasian because Nicaraguans like Caucasian people. I am not certain as to the reason why they prefer Caucasian people but I think it is because most of the people here have brown skin.

Daniel Snider - Snider's Realty Nicaragua
The average expat is treated as part of the Nicaraguan family.
Nicaraguans are usually very fond of Americans because the nature of the average American is that of treating people kindly and treating people just like they would treat anybody else in the States.
Nicaraguans and expats get along very well. There is no resentment whatsoever given the hostility between the two countries in the past. Relative to issues between the "haves" and the "have not's", there is always going to be some sort of resentment no matter where you go in the world when you have a big disparity. Thank God that tourism and foreigners moving into the country has been seen as a positive thing by the average Nicaraguan because it opens up a lot of doors that might have not been open if expats didn't start coming down here. So I would say that overall the gap between the rich and the poor is lessening little by little and opportunity for the average Nicaraguan is going up so the overall feeling of resentment is nowhere close to where it was just a few years back when Nicaragua was not in the same position as it is now. You see it all over the place as we are featured in publications such as Forbes and The Huffington Post. There's a big influx of foreigners coming in and publications like these have great things to say about Nicaragua. We feel very proud of that people can come visit Nicaragua and leave with a positive impression.
(Nicaragua featured in a US magazine, pictured.)
In general, my experiences here in Nicaragua have been positive for the most part. Nicaraguans are very gracious, very kind, and they extend themselves to help you, but if you do not acknowledge them in some way along the way and show your gratitude, their attitude could turn very quickly to disappointment or disapproval.
I find Nicaraguan women to be more gracious, helpful and hospitable, while I find the men to be more likely to be more interested in finding a way to get money from the gringos, for example, finding a way to charge more for a tax cab ride. Most Nicaraguan women are very honest, open, and gracious and very helpful.
There was one time when I was trying to buy body powder and I used the word in Spanish that means an herb powder that is used in cooking, and that is not the same as in body powder. The woman at the store would step forward, recognizing my error and asked me what I meant. When I would explain to them, we would all laugh about it and they would practice with me at the counter and tell me how to say the right word in Spanish. It was wonderful. It was exhilarating to be so well embraced.

Esmerelda Vargas - Schuvar Tours
Expats in general are treated very nicely in Nicaragua; not just Americans. Nicaraguan people are very friendly and all the foreigners who come to Nicaragua feel good here because Nicaraguans are very charming and amiable. Wherever Nicaraguans live, one finds friends and it becomes a lively place.
I do not think there is resentment against Americans or other expats on the part of Nicaraguans, even because of the difference in cultures or whatever happened in the past.
(Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld visits the Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua, pictured.)
Daniel Bolanos - Hacienda & Ecolodge Morgan´s Rock
As an American or an expat coming to Nicaragua, you shouldn't have any problems with locals. I recently started in the hotel business and have met lots of people who come here to visit Nicaragua, but nobody has told me of any bad experiences.
Expats are pretty safe here in Nicaragua. There is no discrimination or any bad feelings or resentment towards expats here in Nicaragua.
Immanuel Zerger - Solentiname Tours - Discover Nicaragua
Nicaraguans are very friendly and hospitable. Nicaraguans like talking to foreigners. They will talk about their personal lives within five minutes of meeting you, and then later ask what is up with you. They may even invite you to a wedding that they are attending that same day that they met you. (Wedding in Nicaragua, pictured.)
Nicaraguans are very open. They may expect that friendliness to be reciprocated, or perhaps you will not see the person again, but still it was a good moment for both the local Nicaraguan and the foreigner.
Frank Martínez - DISCOVER Real Estate
Because of the common culture dating back 100 years when the Americans first came to Nicaragua to fight the war, we had some resentment. But things changed in the 80s, where over a million people moved out of Nicaragua and went to the US and Costa Rica. Some of these people had children who became part of a larger community of those with roots here in Nicaragua. That changed the whole perspective of the "Gringo go home" into "Welcome home gringo", which means we are happy that you are here in Nicaragua because we know that you are here to invest and you are not here to fight or to take anything from us.
We now see Americans as money-making candidates and we welcome that. We even have special laws for Americans now and we have schools that are 100% for Americans. We also have big US business chains like PriceSmart, McDonald's, and I heard that there is another one moving here. We welcome all these American businesses because they are investors, so they are helping Nicaragua and we appreciate that.
Carlos Roman Gutierrez Solis - Casa Granada Properties
Just like anywhere else, you have to keep your eyes open in Nicaragua because anybody anywhere can do something not really nice to you. But generally, Americans and other expats are welcome in Nicaragua.
The influence that we get from European and American visitors in Nicaragua is very important and provided us with a lot of ideas of how to improve and live better in our own country. Expats give us the fresh ideas and the motivation to do more for our country, which has really pushed the economy and the entrepreneurial people here. Before, nobody thought that if you speak English in Nicaragua, you are going to make money and nobody thought that business like canopy, hotels, etc., would work. Now, everyone is trying to create ideas to attract people. So expats coming to Nicaragua has helped us a lot because it opened the country to new ideas and new concepts, which is giving new hope to people here.
Darrell Bushnell
Expats are treated very well in Nicaragua.
On a personal level, we are fortunate here to have very good neighbors. Nicaragua is, however, a poor country and there are a lot of people seeking assistance, so it is not unusual for a neighbor to come and borrow money. The small middle class and the very small upper class, also treat expats very well. Personally, I am amazed that there is not a resentment against expats over what happened in the past.
Nicaraguans are extremely anti-pedophile, and unfortunately, we get too many of those from the US. Locals do not like older men coming down to Nicaragua and trying to fool around their under-age daughters. In response, Nicaraguans has been strengthening their families and the laws regarding violence against women and children in the last couple of years.
Generally, expats are treated very well. I can not complain.
Mike Cobb - ECI Development
Nicaraguans generally like Americans. Many Nicaraguans have lived in the US or have relatives living in the U.S. The golden rule seems to be a good standard. You can expect to be treated as you treat

Boston Dynamics is a leader in the development of robotics. They were recently acquired by Google, Inc. having originally been associated with MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Watching these videos you will be amazed by their robotic, yet life-like movement, and become somewhat emotionally attached when the robot 'Atlas', gets pushed with a hockey stick, like a school bully beating up a nerd.
The Youtube comments section you can see that there is a natural human reaction to the robot testing.


What are the really bad compare failures?
I guess I'm still confused a bit then, because when I just switched from TYG02s to TYG03s, I got two successful burns / compares on different drives after six failures. I did not reboot the machine or exit the application. I burned 8x with both media. Guess I should toss out the TYG02. Hadn't had a problem with that media before.
I used to assume that anything with a compare failure was a coaster, but I got six in a row today and decided to do the comparison on another machine with DVDInfoPro. The results came back between 92 and 99 percent, scores which I believe will playback fine in a standard DVD player. So it would help me to know more specifically how a compare failure tracks with a PIE/PIF/POF or whatever. The answer or links to the answer would be greatly appreciated.
Read ISO image file, andd files, & burn?
I've checked the guide and FAQ, and the answer isn't obvious just yet. I've downloaded a bootable ISO image file that I'd like to read, add some files to, and then burn. What's the easy way to do that with ImgBurn, or what utility should I be looking at for this purpose?
Every time, long burn or short. I've changed my mind. I'm going to install the trial version of DVDInfoPro. I've downloaded it. I'm sure there's a link somewhere that tells me all the stuff it does better than a Nero scan, right? I've really cooled off on later versions of Nero. Nero 6 hit me with almost two thousand registry key changes. It's become this horrific bloated thing compared to what it once was. Now it wants to do and be everything. Just give me (ImgBurn), or another similar, bulletproof little burning program, relatively free of dependencies. If DVDInfoPro is wonderful, what's $20 in the long run?
I'm usually happy when I discover that I only need to stop doing something dumb in order to obtain a good result, but your reply so far has not helped me where (under what menu) you think I turned a particular option "ON", or what the name of that option was. Now I have to guess. Under the "FILE" pulldown, I DID NOT (ever) select the option "Display Graph Data using DVDInfoPro. Better yet, it would be nice if that option were entirely "grayed out" for people that don't have that software installed. Under Tools->Settings->Graph Data, I don't see a setting for DVDInfoPro. If I uncheck "capture processor usage" will that make my problem go away? Hmmm. This still begs the question of why it does successfully finish if you just let it sit for 10-15 minutes at the end of all processing. Losing access to the drive for extended periods of time is no fun. There's nothing in the log telling me what's up. I'll have to substitute a different image than the one supplied, since by the time I went to clip it, the program timed out (quit messing up?) and the screen changed. Other than this one problem the program has performed flawlessly. FYI, I have made many donations to freeware authors for this quality of work. References available upon request.
After completing either the burning or verification pass, the program appears to stall with the "Graph Data" message in the status (bottom) line. Before today I had just waited a good while and then killed the program thread to get back the DVD. It really seemed to be dead. When I finally decided to post the problem to this board, I left the screen up while I was completing the board registration. So we're talking about 5-10 minutes. Then the program finally timed out and kicked over into the next phase: "Please insert next disk ... And I clicked on the "Graph Data" icon and got this message: Sorry, I've tried hard but cannot locate your installation of DVDInfoPro. Do you want to locate it manually. Note: If you don't have a copy yet, visit .... Anyway, the whole capture looks like this: Since it's a clip of a screen shot I don't know how the picture will reproduce on your system. You may have to select "view image" or something to be able to read all the text. I'm guessing that I have to go into some configuration screen and tell it that I have no intention of installing this other program. In any event, when a program isn't going to be able to resolve something instantly, it would probably be good to have it pop up a window with an option to skip the step, or give a more accurate explanation for whatever is happening in the status line so that the user doesn't think it's just totally hung.

What You Could Have Won – Rachel Genn In conversation with Tara Tobler
Thu, 15 October 8:00pm - 9:00pm
Neuroscientist, artist and writer Rachel Genn's second novel is a sharp, witty tale about sex, drugs, rock & roll and The Sopranos. Believing fame is the only thing worth having a failing psychiatrist claws his way into the limelight by transforming his singer girlfriend into a drug experiment. What emerges is a two-sided toxic relationship in a story that takes an exuberant look at female resilience in the face of social control.
Tara Tobler is the principal editor at Sheffield publishers And Other Stories as well as a writer and reviewer.
Spectacular, dizzying, utterly addictive. Genn's novel completely claimed me – Helen Mort

Interest-Only Loans Risky for Most Homebuyers
By Freedomz
Some experts say that although interest-only loans may seem appealing to borrowers, there is only a small percentage of homebuyers that could use this type of loan, according to CNBC. Interest-only loans are where a borrower makes interest payments only for a set amount of time, usually for the first 10 years or so. Looking long term, the payments can go up and add additional financial stress. Today, these loans come with stricter qualifications compared to the early 2000s where no income verification was needed, but interest-only loans contributed to large spikes in mortgage delinquencies at the time.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to act as a drag on the economy, the majority of lenders have tightened credit standards across all loan types, according to recent research from Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored enterprise that, along with Freddie Mac, backs mortgages that meet certain standards.
Interest-only mortgages fall outside that category, which means they are not broadly available. Lenders either keep these mortgages in their own portfolio or sell them to investors.

An ex-nursing home employee from Illinois has been charged with neglect and unlawful distribution of morphine in connection with the deaths of six residents. This follows after investigators suspected morphine was involved in the death of six residents in the past three years. The nurse was put on administrative leave in October 2006. Prosecutors declined to comment on any links between the investigation and the deaths. However, this case does illustrate the potential for abuse and neglect in nursing homes.

Homemade breakfast waffles that are free from flour, low-carb/ketogenic friendly, and easy to make!
Good morning from a chilly Virginia! We are here for a week searching for our future home and just generally checking out the area. It's GORGEOUS! They also have plenty of health food stores, barre classes, pretty parks, and more which makes me even more excited!
Max and I were going through our registry this week, thinking of things we may need in our future home and I brought up waffle machines.
"I don't have the time to make the batter and stuff, no thanks."
Perhaps with traditional waffles that require different flours, milk and sugar but not with these flourless ones! This recipe has only FOUR ingredients and is so simple and speedy to make. It also happens to be gluten-free, ketogenic friendly and paleo friendly. We enjoy these with sliced fruit, maple syrup from our friends The Parkers, or homemade cacao drizzle.
1) Put all ingredients in your food processor and blend.
2) Follow the instructions on your waffle machine and brush lightly with grass-fed butter or coconut oil.
3) Spoon a quarter of the batter into your waffle machine and close.
4) Following your waffle machine instructions, wait until the waffle has cooked, remove and set aside. Repeat this with the remaining batter.
5) Top your waffles with your favorite treats and enjoy!


This paper describes six recent attempts to conserve threatened wallabies (Marsupialia: Macropodoidea) by reintroduction. All ended in failure. We place these attempts within the context of nineteen other reintroductions of macropods known to us. Success of reintroduction of macropods appears to depend critically on control or exclusion of exotic terrestrial predators. Islands without exotic predators support a success rate of reintroductions an order of magnitude higher than that of mainland sites and islands with exotic predators (82% cf. 8%).
Reintroductions have generally been poorly monitored and poorly documented. Researchers have often failed to appreciate the enormity of the task of controlling introduced predators (foxes and feral cats and dogs) and herbivores (rabbits), and to make adequate use of existing technology (radiotelemetry), and have been unable to overcome the logistical problems of managing reintroductions far from their research bases. Successes in management and reintroduction of other threatened fauna in Australia suggest that effective control of introduced predators and rabbits using the poison 1080, for which many native species have a high tolerance, may provide an effective means of managing mainland reintroductions.

In a project spanning two cultures, Skaggs Creative conceptualized and designed the ad campaign for the Italian Trade Commission's Beauty Desk, which promotes Italian contract manufacturers to US beauty brands looking for quality ingredient manufacturing. The challenge was to please the Italian Trade Commission, taking into consideration their specifically Italian identity, voice, and messaging, while also making the ads appeal to American manufacturing brands in order to win them over. All photography for the ad campaign was done by Bradley Skaggs, with Italian products supplied by the ITA. The campaign ran nationally, in both print and digital formats, including publications such as WWD.
