Those don't put out much light, but they would light up the back end to be a nice glowing red. If you want to throw out some light, try 1, 3 or higher watt output LED's. I guess your limit on the power output of the LED is the battery you use and if you want the LED to stay on for very long, also the size of the heat sink.
I really don't want the other toy to melt, the laser beam will only be active for 2-3 seconds.
Here's a link to a video I found.
In the first 5 seconds of the video, you see a green laser.
I want a laser that LOOKS like that but is safe and is red.
I DON'T want a red dot.
The laser I want will only be active for a period of 2 seconds.
Is it possible to get a laser like that?
It also has to be safe for the human eye.
The camera makes the beam look far more powerful at 100 milliwatts of output than it will to your eye, I mean like hugely more powerful. To get one that looks anywhere near close to that bright in real eye viewing (with room lights on), it would need to be much more powerful, I'm thinking a watt or more. Someone chime in if you think I'm being too critical.
But the only thing it will do is make a dim red dot.
Get a plastic or glass tube which will transmit light, drive it with a high power LED and put a solenoid on it to spring out the same time the light comes on, it will be so uber bright they won't see the tube, just a huge output of light coming out the back like fire, have it pop back in before the light goes out.
Many years ago, some toys had these solid plastic tubes which transmitted light so well the whole tube would glow, this was before high power LED's which I am sure would work very well with them. You might also consider a bunch of fiber optic tubes all cut to lay down in a christmas tree like shape and drive those with light inside the car and have it pop out like flames on a small solenoid actuator, if the light is bright enough, you shouldn't see the device as it pops out and back in, just a huge flash of red light like flames. You could also mold some flame-like shape out of clear resin plastic and light it up with a bright red LED and have it pop out and back in.
Just use a big powerful LED. Radio shack has one that puts out over 110 lumens and is red. If that won't do it I don't know what will.
Here is one made by Cree. I spent like 10 min looking so actually consider this!
Thanks for the feedback. I won't use a laser. I'll use Laser Project's idea.


What is the importance of Accelerated Mobile Pages ?
the most important benefits of accelerated mobile suggests that every second a visitor waits for your page to load. Around 53 percent of people will leave your page if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. if AMP itself is not a ranking factor on Google,they announce from July 2018, they would use mobile page speed as a ranking in mobile search results.
Ensure that your first 100 words or meta description get the readers to click.
It might seem that a stripped down site would actually have higher engagement, but it actually provides you with more opportunities. There are less distractions and since everything loads quickly, people are more likely to interact with the features you do offer including forms, buttons, videos and so on.
There's always a competitive aspect is present in every business. If you notice that all of your competitors are using AMP and you're not, then you're definitely missing out on a lot of potential customers.Adopting AMP protocols before your competitor can make your customers look at your sites.

Dnister Pumped-Storage Hydro Project to use Emerson Control System
Kiev, Ukraine [HydroWorld.com] Emerson Process Management has installed its PlantWeb digital plant architecture with the Ovation expert control system at Unit 1 of the newly-commissioned Dnister pumped-storage hydropower plant in Ukraine. The plant will be one of the largest pumped-storage hydro projects in the world.
Emerson's Ovation system monitors and controls all major equipment and processes at the hydropower plant, including the hydraulic turbine, pump turbine generator, lubrication and cooling, drain and leakage systems, temperature monitoring systems, auxiliary equipment and main electrical system. Ovation also interfaces to the turbine governor, vibration system and excitation system.
Work on the Dnister HPP, which is being built in the Chernivtsi oblast on the Dnister River, will be ongoing as more units are brought into operation. Construction on the project began in 1983.
The overall cost of the project is 5.8 billion hryvnia (US$720 million).
According to designs, the hydro plant will have an electric output of 2,268 MW in generating mode and 2,947 MW in pumping mode. The station will have seven identical units.
The hydropower project was commissioned recently byUkrHydro Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC).
The first unit is planned to produce 240 million kWh of electricity in 2010. The second and third units will be operational in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

BAY SHORE, N.Y. (Feb. 18, 2014) – Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center, Inc. (ADRC) hosted its first annual "Give from the Heart" Athletes for Alzheimer's Endurance Event to raise funds to support those who struggle with Alzheimer's Disease and their unpaid caregivers. The event took place on Sunday, February 16 at Steel Fitness Gym in Bellmore, N.Y.
Volunteer coaches and Steel Fitness trainers watched all participants to make sure they were done correctly and that the count is accurate. Awards were presented to those who completed the most sit-ups or push-ups and for those who raised the most funds. All of the money raised went to benefit ADRC.
In the U.S., approximately 5.4 million people are diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and that number is only expected to increase. There are 77 million baby boomers in this country and 1 in 8 is at risk for getting this heartbreaking disease. As the number of people with the disease grows, there will be an increasing need for caregivers as well-who will need more support from local organizations and community groups. "Give from the Heart" is aimed to assist both caregivers and those who are affected by Alzheimer's Disease alike.
"Give from the Heart" was held in memory of Dorothy C. Camilleri, the late owner of Dear Little Dollies on Bedford Avenue in Bellmore. She passed away last year at the age of 87 after battling Alzheimer's Disease. Ms. Camilleri's daughter, Marijane, who was also her caregiver, decided to lead the event in her mother's memory.

Hermann Wendt's Family from Greifenberg to Wisconsin
I became interested in the Wendt family when I noticed a large number of people in my Ancestry DNA matches who also had this surname in their trees. I am of the opinion that my family tree must join up to them through my fourth great-grandma Geske, though evidence of this is speculation at this point.
Albert Hermann Gustav Wendt was born in Suckowshof, Greifenberg on December 22, 1873 and was baptized in the Lutheran church in Behlkow on Christmas Eve. He immigrated to the United States, arriving at Castle Garden on April 23, 1881 along with his parents and siblings. While in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, he would marry Martha Mathilde Chavet on November 21, 1896. She was the daughter of John Henry Chavet and Mathilde Ottilie Lietz (daughter of August Lietz and his wife Maria). There is a good possibility that this Lietz family is also relatives of his grandfather. According to the 1880 U.S. Census, August Lietz was born around 1818.
Martha was born on September 3, 1876 in Cooperstown, Manitowoc, Wisconsin. He was a gas station attendant in 1940 while living in Twin Brooks, South Dakota. Albert died on December 15, 1958 and was buried in Grant, South Dakota.
His father was a Tagelöhner, a day laborer without guaranteed work. Certainly, America must have been a promising prospect in those days.
Hermann Gotthilf Wendt, Albert's father, was born May 15, 1831, though his birth place has yet to be confirmed. He died on August 21, 1901 in Cooperstown, Wisconsin. He married Johanne Caroline Friederike Lietz on January 16, 1857. She was a twin, born August 20, 1833 in Triebs, Greifenberg. She died on Christmas, December 25, 1926 in Appleton, Wisconsin. For awhile, they lived in Neuhof/Belbuck as evidenced by an unbaptized son who died on March 27, 1857 being only thirteen days old.
Hermann's father, Peter Martin Ludwig Wendt was born November 2, 1780 in Treptow an der Rega. He died shorly after his fiftieth birthday on November 5, 1830 in Treptow. He was married to Dorothea Maria Laabs(en). She was born April 29, 1792 in Behlkow, Greifenberg and died February 17, 1832 in Treptow. Upon Ludwig's death, he left behind his widow and nine children (though a note in the margins of my research dictates he had ten children). He was a Baumann and a Bürger.
His father was Christian Wendt who was born on January 19, 1739 in Treptow an der Rega. A death date could not be located, but it was discovered that he died in Treptow. He married Maria Luise Schaffen on November 17, 1767 in Treptow. She was born October 12, 1748 and died March 20, 1812 in Treptow.
Dorothea Maria Laabs' parents were Daniel (Gottlieb?) Laabs and Christina Prahl. He was born about 1760 and died September 29, 1813 in Greifenberg at the age of 53 years old. Here, he was recorded as being a Tagelöhner, though his daughter Dorothea Maria's birth record states that he was a Verwalter in Wangerin. According to Christina's death record, her birth should be calculated around December of 1765. She was 73 years and 3 months old when she died of Altersschwäche (infirmity of old age) on March 12, 1839 in Greifenberg and was buried on the 20th of March. She was listed as the widow of Gottlieb Laabs, leaving behind three children of legal age. She apparently lived in house number 453.
Another Daniel Laabs died on March 22, 1838, presumably in Greifenberg, with only one son named as an inheritor. This Daniel was a Prövner, a type of senior member of the clergy with a fixed income. Another word for this is a prebendary. This entry does not seem to fit, as his social standing appears to be much higher than that of a day laborer.
Interestingly enough, Dorothea Maria's baptism on May 2, 1792 lists her father as the "der angegeben Vater," basically meaning that the given father should have been Daniel Laabs and that the child was likely born out of wedlock. A search for her siblings returned no results. The church book for Wangerin in Regenwalde for these years did not survive.
Johanna Caroline Friederike Lietz is believed to be the genetic connection to my family. Her parents were Martin Lietz and Caroline Geske. A problem exists with both of their surnames. Different entries list Martin's surname as Lietzow and Leitzon, and there were also other names indexed as Tietz, which is similar. Several Lietzke family members were also in the same parish of Triebs. Caroline's surname was also written as Goske, Göske, and Jeske. She was born about 1797, dying on March 10, 1870 in Neuhof, Greifenberg, leaving behind her husband and five of her children. She gave birth to children in 1826 in Amts Colonie and 1827, 1828, 1832, and 1833 in Neuhof. The Amts Colonie is difficult to pinpoint exactly what or where it was in relation to Neuhof, but maps dictate that Amts Colonie should have been the Remonte-Depot—a Remonteamt being responsible for purchasing and training horses. This would be one of the depots where the military would replenish its supply for cavalry regiments with young horses for training. It is mentioned in the Amtsblatt der Regierung in Stettin.
Neither of their origins are known yet. Martin was an Arbeitsmann in Neuhof "auf dem Amsts Colonie."
Their children found in the Triebs Kirchenbuch (written as "Tribus" in the church book) include:
Martin Ludwig Lietz was born on July 21, 1826 in Amts Colonie, Greifenberg and was baptized on July 23, 1826 in Triebs. He and his sister were born as twins.
Johanna Charlotta Lietz was born on July 21, 1826 in Amts Colonie, Greifenberg and was baptized on July 23, 1826 in Triebs. She died "Hanne Charlotte" on February 4, 1827 in Neuhof from Masern (measles). She was buried quietly on February 6, 1827, recorded to be 7 months and 14 days old.
Ferdinand Friedrich Wilhelm Lietz (written as "Lietzow" or "Lietzon") was born on March 20, 1828 in Neuhof, Greifenberg and was baptized on March 30, 1828 in Triebs.
Ernistine Friederike Louise Lietz (written as "Liez") on February 21, 1830 in Neuhof, Greifenberg and was baptized on March 7, 1830 in Triebs. She died March 9, 1833 in Neuhof and was buried March 12 of the same year.
Hanne Auguste Ulrike Lietz was born on May 30, 1832 in Neuhof, Greifenberg and was baptized on June 3, 1832 in Triebs.
Johann Carl Martin Lietz was born on August 25, 1833 in Neuhof, Greifenberg and was baptized in August 26, 1833 in Triebs. He and his sister were born as twins. He died on November 18, 1833 in Neuhof and was buried on November 21, 1833.
Johanne Caroline Friederike Lietz was born on August 26, 1833 in Neuhof, Greifenberg and was baptized in Triebs on August 26, 1833.
Heinrich Johann Leopold Lietz was born on February 2, 1837 in Neuhof, Greifenberg and was baptized in Triebs on February 12, 1837.
I founded this website to help others make connections with their genealogy. I've been at my own family history since 2014 and have made significant progress since then. My hope is to one day determine where my family name came from. In the years since I started my genealogy, I've become something of an expert on the resources and history of Pomerania. I'd like to share what I've learned with you to help you on your own journey to discover your heritage. With the right information and enough patience, I believe researchers like us can break down the barriers to our family histories and make more freely available so others can trace their families as well. Let's work together to rebuild the stories of our ancestors!

The SEO industry has been plagued for years by a lack of consistency with SEO terms and definitions. One of the most prevalent inaccurate terms we hear is "duplicate content penalty." While duplicate content is not something you should strive for on your website, there's no search engine penalty for having it.
Duplicate content has been and always will be a natural part of the Web. It's nothing to be afraid of. If your site has some dupe content for whatever reason, you don't have to lose sleep every night worrying about the wrath of the Google gods. They're not going to shoot lightning bolts at your site from the sky, nor are they going to banish your entire website from ever showing up for relevant searches.
They are simply going to filter out the dupes.
The search engines want to index and show to their users (the searchers) as much unique content as algorithmically possible. That's their job, and they do it quite well considering what they have to work with: spammers using invisible or irrelevant content, technically challenged websites that crawlers can't easily find, copycat scraper sites that exist only to obtain AdSense clicks, and a whole host of other such nonsense.
There's no doubt that duplicate content is a problem for search engines. If a searcher is looking for a particular type of product or service and is presented with pages and pages of results that provide the same basic information, then the engine has failed to do its job properly. In order to supply users with a variety of information on their search query, search engines have created duplicate content "filters" (not penalties) that attempt to weed out the information they already know about. Certainly, if your page is one of those that is filtered, it may very well feel like a penalty to you, but it's not – it's a filter.
Search engine penalties are reserved for pages and sites that are purposely trying to trick the search engines in one form or another. Penalties can be meted out algorithmically when obvious deceptions exist on a page, or they can be personally handed out by a search engineer who discovers the hanky-panky through spam reports and other means. To many people's surprise, penalties rarely happen to the average website. Sites that receive a true penalty typically know exactly what they did to deserve it. If they don't, they haven't been paying attention. Honestly, the search engines are not out to get you. If you have a page on your site that sells red hats and another very similar page selling blue hats, you aren't going to find your site banished off the face of Google. The worst thing that will happen is that only the red hat page may show up in the search results instead of both pages showing up. If you need both to show up in the search engines, then you'll need to make them substantially unique.
Suffice it to say that just about any content that is easily created without much human intervention (i.e., automated) is not a great candidate for organic SEO purposes.
Another duplicate-content issue that many are concerned about is the republishing of online articles. Reprinting someone's article on your site is not going to cause a penalty. While you probably don't want every article on your site to be a reprint of someone else's, if the reprints are helpful to your site visitors and your overall mission, then it's not a problem for the search engines.
If your own bylined articles are getting published elsewhere, that's a good thing. You don't need to provide a different version to other sites or not allow them to be republished at all. The more sites that host your article, the more chances you have to build your credibility as well as to gain links back to your site through a short bio at the end of the article. In many cases, Google doesn't even filter out duplicate articles in searches, but even if they eventually show only one version, it's still okay.
Where duplicate content CAN be a problem is when a website shows essentially the same page, but on numerous URLs. WordPress blogs often fall victim to this when multiple tags or categories are chosen to label any one blog post. The blog software then creates numerous URLs for the same article, depending on which category or tag a user clicked to view it. While this type of duplicate content won't cause a search engine penalty, it will often split the overall link popularity of the article, which is not recommended.
Any backend system or CMS that creates numerous URLs for any one piece of content can indeed be a problem for search engines, because it makes their spiders do more work. It's silly to have the spider finding the same information over and over again, when you'd rather have it finding other, unique information to index. This type of unintended duplicate content should definitely be cleaned up either through 301-redirects or by using the canonical link element (rel=canonical) [http://www.highrankings.com//canonical-link-element].
When it comes to duplicate content, the search engines are not penalizing you or thinking that you're a spammer; they're simply trying to show some variety in their search results pages and don't want to waste time indexing content they already have in their databases.

Q: What is static/dynamic power? I'm learning about power management in OMAP35x and I came across these terms. I can't seem to find a good explanation anywhere. What do they mean?

A: Static means the power it will always draw no matter what you do, typically this is due to transistor leakage.  Dynamic power will vary, for instance if you run it at full speed vs putting it into sleep mode it will draw more or less power respectively.  As transistors switch on and off they draw more power and dissipate more heat.

The passages above should serve to set the tone and aspiration of this course. This course will be, in the general sense, an attempt to allow you to stop using the same-old buttons given to you by Adobe and others. Instead, you will be pushed to 'create your own buttons' so to speak – to write the code that makes the images you want to see, and that can only be made this way.
In more specific terms, this course will be an exercise in learning to use computer code, and math as image-making media. We will use the programming language Processing to create imagery and interactivity which is more complex than can be done simply by using the point-and-click methodology. As an example, through the use of code, it is possible to populate the screen with hundreds or thousands of individual images, each of which having the possibility of reacting with eachother, or with user input. These systems can become extremely complex with relatively little effort on your part, and from this complexity, new forms, sounds, and patterns that were previously unexpected will begin to emerge.
As new techniques are discussed, new assignments will be given in which you will be expected to implement the new techniques discussed as well as add your own unique aesthetic sensibilities. Beyond certain technical requirements, the content of the assignments is completely up to you. We will start with basic principles, and work towards more advanced ones.
Assignments will be handed in and critiqued every two to three weeks, depending upon the complexity of the material being covered. For example, early on, we will look at uses for the random number in controlling animation and image content, once the technical material has been covered, you will then have two weeks to complete a series of exercises which use random number generation in unique ways.
There will be approximately seven of these exercises throughout the course of the semester.
Sketchbook: Simply learning the technology in this course will be somewhat difficult, but it is important that you realize that technical proficiency alone will not earn you a very high grade. I will be looking for you to be showing me something new, both with your programs, and especially in the imagery you create. Therefore, to keep you thinking in terms of imagery, it is required that you keep a sketchbook for this course. This sketchbook will be collected every two weeks. It can contain drawings, photos, photocopies, scans, or whatever interests and energizes your creative side. Look for imagery that you'd like to see set in motion, or images that have a certain type of visual effect you'd like to recreate on the computer screen.
Grading in general: Though this course is technically demanding, I will not be impressed if you simply recreate things shown to you in class. Keep this in mind at all times. You must bring something new to the table in your assignments. Your imagery, sound, and interactivity must be unique and reflect your own aesthetic. Do not simply throw back the exact same things I show you in lecture you will not do well.
A: Overall Excellence, to receive an A, you must consistently exceed the expectations of the assignment. Work must go beyond the scope of the assignment, both technically and conceptually; I will be looking for real technical exploration of the tools, and a strong sense of curiosity and experimentation regarding the conceptual requirements of the assignments. In short, you will have to make work that is strong in all ways, and will develop a personal aesthetic that is inventive and compelling. In addition, participation in critiques and in class discussion of the assignments will be required in order to receive and A.
B: Above average: you will meet and exceed the requirements of the assignment. Work should be both conceptually and technically strong, but there will be room for improvement.
C: Average: You have merely completed the objectives of the assignment. If an assignment calls for 5 images, you have completed 5 images, however you have not been inventive or creative enough in your solution for the assignment.
D: Below Average: You have only partially fulfilled the requirements of an assignment, by either not physically completing enough work, or by not addressing the conceptual requirements of the assignment.
F: Fail: You have not handed anything in.
Plagiarism: A note on plagiarism: in this course you will be writing code - it is essentially the same as writing in any other language and is therefore subject to issues of plagiarism. In general, I ask that you write EVERY LINE OF CODE YOU SUBMIT for your projects. Even if you are following somebody else's tutorials or examples online, i ask that you physically enter the lines of code yourself - it will help you to familiarize yourself with the algorithms and routines you are using - DO NOT simply copy and past somebody else's code into your project WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION. Processing is an open-source environment and with that comes a large community of artists, designers, etc who offer their own work online for the benefit of others. You may of course examine and dissect their code in order to further your own understanding of the field, but you may not simple use somebody else's code wholesale in your own work. Any algorithms, routines, or lines of code that you use from somebody else must be attributed in your source code (attrib. name and URL). I can spot copy/pasted code from a mile away - attribute this code and most of the time that will be sufficient.
Late work is not accepted without making prior arrangement with me. If something comes up, and you don't feel you'll be able to complete the assignment by its due date, contact me prior to the due date to discuss options.
First and foremost: be in class. This is especially important on the days I will be covering new material as I will not go over that material again with you individually due to an unexcused absence. You are allowed 3 unexcused absence, each subsequent unexcused absence may drop your letter grade by one full letter.
Our final exam time is scheduled for May 21st from 1:30 - 3:30. We will hold our final critique on this date and time - please do not make plans to leave campus prior to this scheduled exam time - outside of standard excusable reasons for absence, you will not be given an exemption from attendance at the final critique.
You may want some sort of personal storage media, whether it be portable HDDs or USB keychain hard drives. You will have access to server space to store class materials, but you may want to bring work home, or save copies for later use.
Your participation in the evaluation of courses through CourseEvalUM is a responsibility you hold as a student member of our academic community. Your feedback is confidential and important to the improvement of teaching and learning at the University as well as to the tenure and promotion process. CourseEvalUM will be open for you to complete your evaluations during the last two weeks of the semester. Please go directly to the website (www.courseevalum.umd.edu) to complete your evaluations during that period. By completing all of your evaluations each semester, you will have the privilege of accessing online, at Testudo, the evaluation reports for the thousands of courses for which 70% or more students submitted their evaluations.

People Are Sharing Their Best "Secret" Cooking Tips And Tricks That You Won't Find In Cookbooks Or Online
Cooking is an art - and there is only so much you can learn from reading recipes. Sometimes you just have to experiment and try out new techniques and ingredients yourself. So Redditor asked u / katieasaur, "What's your secret technique that you've never seen in a cookbook or online?" Some of the answers were fascinating and I can't wait to try them out in my own kitchen.
1. "If you're in an emergency and need to thicken a sauce quickly, make roux in a mug in the microwave. It usually doesn't take more than a minute to turn golden and ready to use."
—U / CougarAries ·
2. "Replace some of the liquid in your waffle batter with selters or another carbonated beverage like ginger ale and sparkling wine. The result: the fluffiest, airiest waffles ever."
—U / Professor_Burnout
3. "Soak onions in lime juice for a few minutes before mixing them in salsa or topping tacos. This removes the raw, funky taste. The lime also adds a nice acidity to your food anyway."
—U / Antigravitation1231
4. "I always start by simmering mushrooms in a dry pan for a few minutes to get some moisture out before I add oil or butter. They'll brown a lot better that way."
—U / pieandtacos
5. "Use frozen flour when making pie crusts. The first step in making pie crusts is to cut butter into the flour. Most recipes recommend using very cold butter, which is cut into small pieces. Freezing of the flour used means the butter stays colder longer. "
- u / Denmark
6. "When you bake, freeze butter and grate it with a micro-slicer. It's the easiest way to get very fine, cold pieces of butter that will evenly spread throughout your batter."
—U / red_alert_80
7. "If you're making biscuits, biscuits, or anything that has to make a flaky dough, freeze the mixing bowl and pastry cutter as well. This will keep the dough colder and better baking results."
—U / MaschMana
8. "Quickly microwave red onions in about 30 minutes. Heat vinegar and some water, sugar, and salt in the microwave. Then throw in the onions. Add a few spices if you feel like it. If you do, too The beginning of your meal, they are ready to use when your dish is on the table. "
—U / AgoraiosBum
9. "I learned this trick from my grandmother. She took leftover cake batter, buttered it, sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar and rolled it into mini cinnamon rolls like two desserts in one."
—U / codeverity
10. "I freeze excess lemons whole. You can micro-plan the peel, peel off any white stones and micro-plan the lemon flesh. Or, defrost the pulp and use the juice."
—U / Transportation Ok1780
11. "A touch of baking powder with grits or polenta cuts the cooking time in half. It's my favorite time saver at dinner."
—U / Chief Sandman
12. "I use a garlic press for a lot more than just garlic. It can be used for many chopping and grinding purposes. Try it for anchovies, herbs, coarsely chopped peppercorns, cumin, etc ..."
-U / PracticalAd6467
13. "When I make banana bread, I gently mash the banana while it's still in the peel. I try gently so the banana doesn't pop. With this method, the banana comes out pre-grinded without any bulk. It's usually so soft that you don't even need a fork to mash it any further. Plus, you have one less bowl to clean. "

Many people talk about needing more faith. That is not the issue! You have all of the faith that you need. It is not a matter of more faith.
It is a matter of redirecting your faith.
Right now, you have full faith in your current circumstances and conditions. You have faith in the way you have been doing things in the past. You may not like it, but you keep doing it because it is all you know.
Your dream demands that you build your faith in something else, something you can't see and hasn't proven itself to you yet.
Here's how. First of all, look around for those who have taken great risks and achieved great things in the face of impossible odds. Let them inspire you! If one person can win in the face of huge risks, then you can too.
Then, track your wins. This means you keep close track of your progress and your achievements along the way. No matter how seemingly small or insignificant, track it because it is evidence that you are on your way!
Finally, keep your eyes out for the evidence that there is something invisible at work. Pay attention to the things that occur for you that defy explanation. Pay attention to how things, ideas, opportunities come to you out of the blue. This is your evidence that there is an Invisible Force for good at work in your life and for your dream. The more you can develop faith in this invisible creative force, the more willing you become to take that risk and LEAP.
Share the risk you are willing to take here in the comments and in our Facebook group.

Femme Wave wishes to thank EMMEDIA for it's support for this year's film programming. In particular this program is produced through EMMEDIA's Homegrown Curatorial Program.
Ursa is the ambient electronic project of Lenore Maier (The Garrys, Bunwitch). Her works sway between drone and dream, somewhere between sound effect and musical sound. Whether flatlined by drone, or pulsating at 120 bpm, Ursa's debut album "Prism System" possesses a heartbeat that navigates fluidly through the liminal spectrum of time, dream state and hypnagogic consciousness.
Born and raised in Calgary, Daisy D has spent the last year living in Victoria where she's perfected the art of booty house and hyperspeed 90s eurohouse. While she's found the perfect home for her booty house playing queer parties on the island, her deep roots in Calgary tie her to well-known projects such as CITADEL (melodic ritual drone), along with a heavy involvement in the Discord noise shows happening from 2006-2010.
HOT GOSSIP COLLECTIVE is doing a special Femme Wave edition of their newsletter: Boy Problems available at all Femme Wave events.

THE HOURS WE WAIT explores concepts of time, transition, and leaving. The work of Dominic Pinney and Ryan Danny Owen employs methods of fragmentation and fluorescents to explore the movement of light and time within a space and its physical and sentimental manifestations.
In addition to the work in the U-Hall space THE HOURS WE WAIT features a moving public installation with locations around Calgary, locations announced day-of on the Facebook event, running August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd from 2- 7pm.
Ryan Danny Owen's work explores loss, queer identity, relationships, and time through the use of the archive, found imagery, text, and installation. His work examines the dynamics of ruins and memorials as a means to explore relationships and an affiliation to the past and present.
Dominic Pinney is a visual artist who primarily explores the duality in order and control, the struggle between systems and the relationship between individuals and the authoritative structures that define our lives. Utilizing sculptural forms and light installation he aims to create a dialogue around the conflict of control, when do systems of authority stop being something that provides form and substance and when do they become constraints that hinder growth and freedom.
The CAMera Collective (formerly UCFK) is pleased to present a photo installation exploring the theme, Close to Home, in the TRUCK Contemporary Art U-Hall Community Space.
This exhibition investigates the concept of "home", exploring different notions of place, grounding and perspective. As their home areas widen to areas outside of Calgary, the members of CAMera Collective work has evolved from past exhibitions without losing sight of the details that often get lost in larger narratives: Angela's work in the exhibition encompasses both an intimate look at a sunrise in Mexico as well as a more voyeuristic perspective from her former downtown apartment. Cat's photos are meticulous creations that remind the viewer of the connection between our bodies and our creations; our humanity that overlays the temples of urbanity: the high-rise offices, apartment towers and streets that typify a city. Melody's work explores the theme with images that show their human subjects as being in a liminal state, of being close to home, but not quite there yet.
Since 2010, CAMera Collective has been operating in collaboration, documenting urban environments from the unique perspectives of three photographers. Through exhibitions, photo walks and publications, our collective aims to make photography more present in Calgary, and start a critical dialogue about photography and image-making. Members of CAMera are Angela Inglis (Calgary), Melody Jacobson (Vancouver) and Cat Schick (Calgary).
In the eight years we've worked together as a collective, our techniques may have changed but our interests haven't—photos that represent a finger held to the pulse of life in urban Canada. We seek the unusual and the unnoticed in order to add to the understanding of a city's diversity, with our subjects ranging from architecture, hidden communication and unintended meanings in signage and graffiti to traces of our human creatureliness and the biodiversity living in the city.
UCFK (now CAMera Collective) had its inaugural exhibition as part of the Sugar Shack Art Salon's Debutantes' Ball in Fall 2009. Photos on display included a range of themes; vaulting lines and cracks, architectural propensity, gritty graffiti, grid-lined people, speedy landscapes and phenomena in light.
Since that time, we've had nine exhibitions of our work and we continue to search, learn and grow. UCFK began as four anonymous photographers interested in exhibiting as a Banksy-like collective. In the ensuing years, one member of our group left to pursue his own projects and the remaining three have branched into different projects together, from yarn-bombing and performative crocheting on public transit, to further explorations of street photography. Each photographer has developed her own voice while learning about and celebrating each other's viewpoint in the collective.
Something From Nothing is a collaborative, experimental installation/performance constructed over the course of two days. In sharing authorship, Something From Nothing is an exercise in trust. Each pair of artists (selected at random) will spend two hours in the gallery, responding to the materials and residue left in the space. One artist will be present for the duration of the experiment, a witness and responder to the development of a process-based work. Something From Nothing is a group exhibition featuring work by Mercedes Alexander, Alana Bartol, Rosa Campbell, Andreea Catana, Jonah Cutler, Megan Fen, Brock Green, Lusine Manukyan, Polly Orr, Jordan Schinkel and Tanisha Wesley.
FINA 450, Section F was established in January of 2017. It is comprised of ten fourth year students from the Alberta College of Art+Design and one instructor. Collectively, FINA 450 has over four decades of art making experience. The members meet every Friday at one o'clock to discuss their art practices, contemporary artwork, a collaborative exhibition, and future ambitions. Local and national artists and arts professionals have met with FINA 450 both in classroom and at local galleries and art spaces. Something from Nothing is the first public presentation of their work.
An artifact in the digital realm; an unintended glitch or distortion that by digital processes, echoes indefinitely, rapidly branching in scale and scope, leaving the impression of artificiality. Digital Artifacts explores these artifacts through the ritual repetition of patterns in a digital landscape, tackling the themes of memory, relics, religion and warfare. Digital Artifacts is a group exhibition featuring work by Greg Marshall, Peter Redecopp, Anna Semenoff and Trevor Van den Eijnden.
Digital Artifacts is part of the PARTICLE + WAVE Media Arts Festival and presented in partnership with EMMEDIA, Carvel Creative and TRUCK Contemporary Art.
This video art installation is based on the single-channel video entitled, Drone (2016). Similar to the one camera angle from Drone, the animation presents coded and extruded data visualization from a portion of a large number of news stories, gathered via Google Alerts on lethal US military drone attacks dating back to 2013. A continual video roll of extruded grids slowly drifts in slightly varying forward directions. There are no cuts in the video—it is one long perpendicular take, using an overhead meandering camera move across this constructed landscape.
Pentaphonic Sound System could be a haunted house prop, or a set piece from a b-movie. The 5-channel soundscape that is projected from the sculpture is reminiscent of a horror film; a combination of synthesized, sampled and modulated sounds move from speaker to speaker in various patterns, creating an undulating, spatialized aural composition. The soundscape is continually changing, composed in real-time through an algorithm written by the artist, and brings to mind sinister rituals and black magic. With this project, the computer algorithm is envisioned as a form of cyber-incantation. To be wary of false idols is a common maxim in the Western Tradition, and the pentagram has come to embody this adage in popular culture. Inserted within an art exhibition, it raises questions about if and how we would conceive of idolatry in the context of contemporary media art.
Memory of Mother is composed of one long video sequence, fractioned and looped in no particular order, demonstrating a lack of a linear narrative. Capturing the essence of the whole by remembering the chosen fragments of the past: Memory of Mother functions like a memory in real time, with each fraction fulfilling an equal role to create a larger, more coherent representation of the figure.
A collection of proposed Anthropocene relics for reverence in a deep, hypothetical future function as warnings, prophecies, and a form of solastalgia for something ill-defined that has not yet fully come to pass. The work is an extension of my interest in pattern as a visual indicator of the ways in which we pattern the world. Rather than presenting a pattern that definitely ends or breaks down, they present an indeterminate expanse that fades into the unseeable blackness of the interior space. The materials explored within the Relics include a diverse array of hyper objects that physically or psychologically demarcate the Anthropocene, such as plastics, styrofoam, uranium glass, simulacrum of nature, and memorials to extinction. Inside the relics thre is an aesthetic existential bleakness from the see-through black mirrors facing inward that cannot physically invite, nor act as a reflection to carry the viewer into the scene.


The good news of owning two buses, is that I have plenty of opportunities to visit a variety of scenic campgrounds and upscale motor coach resorts.
As I've learned, not all campgrounds are created equally. While some are promoted as "big rig friendly" they can provide entrances and campsites that too cramped for larger motorhomes and others have proven to be great finds. Which ones provided the best experiences for this newbie motorhome traveler?
In this section you'll find a variety of reviews of campsites and resorts I've visited and because even the most advanced GPS can provide less than desirable directions, I've created videos that show you how to get from the a major highway directly to the entrance.

Q: Как задается рабочее время в Redmine? Подскажите, можно ли в Redmine установить, что рабочий день должен быть 8 часов и контролировать это условие? И как можно просмотреть общую занятость по проекту сотрудника? В какие дни у него есть свободные от задач часы, а в какие уже нет?

A: Можно поставить плагин "time tracker" - он поможет учитывать затраченное время по проекту. Контролировать условие, что рабочий день должен быть равен 8 часам , на сколько я знаю, можно только написав свой плагин.
Но через тайм трекер мы можем видеть сколько часов в день и на какие задачи по проекту было списано время.

Patients who require supplementary oxygen should be formally assessed for their clinical need, referral to complimentary services such as smoking cessation and pulmonary rehabilitation and to select an appropriate mode of supply for their home oxygen supply.
Patients with oxygen saturations ≤ 92% breathing air.
Assessment should also be considered in patients with severe airflow obstruction (FEV1 30–49% predicted).
Baywater Healthcare supports the NHS in correctly assessing patients for oxygen therapy.
We offer a full range of oxygen equipment to enable clinical teams to assess each patient on the most appropriate oxygen equipment to meet their needs. We can also support assessment services with enhancing primary care awareness of referral pathways and the development of service referral forms.
Assessment Services can contact us to request that one of our Nurse Advisors come and see you to deliver free of charge oxygen equipment training and to discuss how we can support you in meeting the needs of your patients.


Swedish telecoms regulator PTS has launched the first round of consultation on its market analysis of the bitstream access broadband market, ahead of a hearing next month. The regulator's analysis covers services delivered over copper and fibre-based networks, and has not identified any operator with significant market power (SMP) in the bitstream service segment. Under its conclusions, the market should therefore not be subject to ex ante regulation in accordance with the Electronic Communications Act. PTS has invited views on the analysis by market participants, with comments due by 14 October.

The Secret Teachings of Plants : The Intelligence of the Heart in Direct Perception to Nature
4.34 (571 ratings by Goodreads)
By (author) Stephen Harrod Buhner
All ancient and indigenous peoples insisted their knowledge of plant medicines came from the plants themselves and not through trial-and-error experimentation. Less well known is that many Western peoples made this same assertion. There are, in fact, two modes of cognition available to all human beings--the brain-based linear and the heart-based holistic. The heart-centered mode of perception can be exceptionally accurate and detailed in its information gathering capacities if, as indigenous and ancient peoples asserted, the heart's ability as an organ of perception is developed. Author Stephen Harrod Buhner explores this second mode of perception in great detail through the work of numerous remarkable people, from Luther Burbank, who cultivated the majority of food plants we now take for granted, to the great German poet and scientist Goethe and his studies of the metamorphosis of plants. Buhner explores the commonalities among these individuals in their approach to learning from the plant world and outlines the specific steps involved. Readers will gain the tools necessary to gather information directly from the heart of Nature, to directly learn the medicinal uses of plants, to engage in diagnosis of disease, and to understand the soul-making process that such deep connection with the world engenders.

NEW SCIENCE / ECOLOGY "Of the truly great books appearing today The Secret Teachings of Plants is easily the most rewarding I have had the privilege of reading." --Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of The Biology of Transcendence "A 'must read' for herbalists, healers, gardeners, nature lovers, and anyone who has ever been moved to tears by the everyday miracles of life." --Susun S. Weed, author of Healing Wise Mankind cannot survive without the nutritional and medicinal properties of plants. The number of plant species on Earth has been estimated at around 400,000, with many of these species remaining unknown to humans. While only a fraction have been identified and categorized by Western botanists, it is safe to say that many of the plants unknown in the West are known to indigenous people living within the plants' natural ranges. All ancient and indigenous peoples insist their knowledge of plant medicines comes from the plants themselves and not through trial-and-error experimentation. Less well known is that these plant teachings are at the basis of many of the modern discoveries in both medicine and in plant foods. Throughout the world there is a tradition of direct perception of nature through the "intelligence of the heart." Recent discoveries in neuroscience have proven that over 50 percent of the heart is comprised of neural cells. The heart is, in fact, a brain in its own right. Heart-centered perception can be exceptionally accurate and detailed in its information gathering capacities, as indigenous and ancient peoples assert. Stephen Harrod Buhner explores this heart-centered mode of perception in great detail. He includes leading-edge information on the physical mechanisms of heart-based cognition and explores the work of numerous remarkable people who perceived the world with their hearts, including Henry David Thoreau; Luther Burbank, who cultivated the majority of food plants we now take for granted; George Washington Carver; Masanobu Fukuoka, author of The One Straw Revolution; and the great German poet and scientist Goethe, who studied the metamorphosis of plants. Buhner shows us how these great thinkers achieved a direct perception of nature using the cognitive abilities of the heart. He provides the knowledge and techniques necessary to develop heart-based perception, which is our birthright. He teaches us how to learn the medicinal uses of plants directly from the plants themselves and to understand the soul-making process that such deep connection with the world engenders. STEPHEN HARROD BUHNER is an Earth Poet and senior researcher for the Foundation for Gaian Studies. He lectures throughout the United States on herbal medicine, the sacredness of plants, and the intelligence of Nature. He is the author of nine works of nonfiction and one book of poetry, including the award-winning The Lost Language of Plants and Sacred Plant Medicine. He lives in Braintree, Vermont.

IN 30 years of conducting, John Atkin has participated in more than 100 theatre productions and orchestral concerts, ranging from Sondheim to Sibelius. Having worked with York Opera a couple of times previously, he now makes his full musical directorial debut with the group, staging La Traviata from tonight.
How have you enjoyed working as York Opera's musical director for La Traviata, John?
"It's been a great experience. Very hard work, but hearing the piece coming together now is so rewarding and we're all really looking forward to the performances."
What are the greatest challenges of pulling together an operatic production of this size?
"The sheer scale of things to do both in rehearsal and performance. There's over two hours of music, no dialogue and approximately 200 tempo changes, so there's nowhere to hide. Members of the cast come, not only from York, but from as far away as Bridlington and Doncaster, simply for the joy of taking part in opera. But you have to be on the ball and get it right."
What have you found most pleasurable?
"It has to be performing and conducting the music of Verdi. This is grand opera on a big scale and you don't get the chance to conduct it very often, so I was delighted when York Opera asked me. The soloists, chorus and orchestra offer vast amounts of experience between them and now it's all coming together it produces a real buzz."
Aside from La Traviata, what other operatic productions have you been involved with during your career?
"I was repetiteur for Bath Opera in the Nineties and worked on a number of productions and concerts, including Peter Grimes and Nabucco. Since moving back to York, I have directed a semi-staged version of The Marriage Of Figaro for York Opera and have worked with many other local theatre companies on light opera and musical theatre productions. Other productions I'm working on at present are Barnum, Fame and Guys & Dolls."
What can someone new to opera expect if they attend La Traviata?
"A full evening of high-class musical entertainment. La Traviata contains some very challenging singing for both soloists and chorus, but York Opera are a very capable company and you will leave with all the melodies lodged in your mind.
"When the music begins, audiences both experienced and new to opera will experience moments when you recognise the tunes. From the famous Brindisi drinking song to the Gypsy Chorus, it's packed full of well-known tunes and iconic moments. That's why it's one of the most regularly performed operas to this day."

Dundee-based firm cleans up amid pandemic
Ecoanolytes experienced a 12000% increase in sales due to demand for cleaning products during Covid-19, following support from Business Gateway.
Launched in 2018 by Erik Smyth, Ecoanolytes, known under consumer brand Disinfecting Electrolysed Water (DEW) Products has experienced rapid growth, expansion and an increase in international clients due to the pandemic. All products are cruelty-free, reusable, refillable and safe for use around young children, pets, and food prep areas.
The mentoring and support have been second to none. I've either phoned or emailed my adviser, Andrew, almost every day and feel very fortunate to have had the Business Gateway team as a sounding board during the pandemic.
Following a surge in interest earlier this year, Erik turned to Business Gateway for a variety of start-up support services including one-to-one strategic counsel, advice on premises and exporting support.
Business Gateway also helped Erik unlock significant funding through Business Loan Scotland and Dundee City Council, which financed the firm's rapid expansion and provided HR support to a team that grew from just two employees to 25, in a matter of months.
Erik, Director, Ecoanolytes, said: "It's because of the support we received through Business Gateway and Dundee City Council that we have been able to capitalise on the opportunities presented to us during what has been an extremely challenging, yet unbelievably rewarding period.
1:1 Business Support
The manufacturing start-up is now looking to build on this expansion by targeting international markets and is currently liaising with distributors in Germany, Greece, and Canada. To support this growth, the team is currently looking for a third premises in Dundee to manufacture and store products sold through e-commerce, wholesale and overseas platforms.

Ein Kernelvirus ist eine spezielle Technik eines Computervirus.

Kernel-Viren infizieren in Computern zuerst bestimmte Programme, die das Betriebssystem beim Systemstart lädt (Kernel). Kernelviren sind eigentlich eine Mischung aus einem Verzeichnis- und einem Bootsektorvirus. Der Begriff bezeichnet nicht Viren, die allgemein den Kernel befallen, sondern die spezielle Vorgänge beim Laden des Kernels beim Systemstart (Boot) ausnutzen.
Bei MS-DOS/Windows-Betriebssystemen sind die Dateien IO.SYS oder MSDOS.SYS Angriffspunkt.

Der einzige – in freier Wildbahn – bekannte Vertreter dieser Art stammt aus Russland und heißt 3APA3A. Bei Disketten steht er im Bootsektor, bei Festplatten verwendet es eine sehr ausgefallene, seltene Technik: er erzeugt ein zweites unsichtbares File IO.SYS, in dem der Viruscode enthalten ist. Beim Start des Rechners wird anstelle des ursprünglichen IO.SYS der Virus in den Speicher geladen. Der Virus enthält keine Schadensfunktion.

Ein Synonym ist Zaraza.

Not sure, they usually send a message around this time but I haven't heard anything from them.
You would have to contact them, he waited and the community with them.
Oh man it's very good, very nice!
The download is going back and forth from an hour to half hour, what's up with that?
But other than that, can't wait to try it out once it's done!
Great thanks for this new update and the others too.
Great job as always! If there's one negative thing I'd like to point out.. It must be, I can't really feel the physics mod doing anything. Could it be cause' I changed some physics settings like Squrrel showed in one of his last videos?
Maybe those settings override the physics mod, I'd need to check it, although if you drive carefully you might not notice it so much, you should have less braking distance and have to slow down more when going round bends but if you're not careful you'll crash all over the place.
I just sent you a small tip to congratulate you and I hope everybody can do it, so we can all show our gratefulness to you for providing many gorgeous and magnificent mods *for free* (amazing). Merry Christmas everybody!
Many thanks for the donation Alejandro, much appreciated.
Thank you very much! Winter IS coming! Sent you a small reward for all your hard work! Merry Xmas from Sweden!
In terms of priorities what should I put higher? Frosty or heavy winter?
Thank you for your help and your work!
Thank you, heavy winter should be higher than Frosty.
Been playing ETS2 for almost five years, now. I found your mod just the last year, and I just can't find anyone else with your willingness to make a convincing winter aesthetic. To show my thanks, I just donated. Here's to hoping SCS pulls up your name for a seasons update.
Many thanks for the donation, much appreciated.
Thanks Zuputo, I changed those old railings years ago when I first started doing this mod, I'll have a look at it.
My mod manager does not see this file. What i have to do?
Maybe there was an issue with the download, you might have to try again, the file size should be 985mb.
Hi. Nice with snow and the lightning. But not slippery as expected with snow covered roads. Video show my point.
Make sure the physics mod is on top in Mod Manager just in case there are any other in there, also in the settings make sure the trailer stability is turned right down.
You should watch Squirrel's video on the new physics settings in 1.33. According to SCS having trailer stability up full is the most unrealistic, having it turned right down is the most realistic. I tested out the physics mod with trailer stability up full and it stops the truck and trailer from slipping around, turn it off and it goes to the way it should be.
The issue is that if you apply the other physics settings outlined in the video they may override the physics mod, but I'm not sure about that.
Hello! I discovered your work recently. After I opened up my ETS 2 after long time. Installed Frosty Winter mod, everything is very nice, I like that you reduced that ugly HDR bloom, looks pleasing to the eyes now. But I spot the problem, or maybe it's supposed to look like that?. One texture is kinda greenish, very light green and smooth color texture, where the grass sits on top of it. It looks really strange. Not only in Baltic DLC but also in Scandinavia I saw this.
Great work as always Grimes. Merry Christmas from the Fox Den.
Thanks a lot for constant quality modding Grimes! That's not obvious all the time. That's why I used your donation. You earn it!
Wow! New snowflakes is beautiful.
Thanks, I think before the snowflakes were far too large, more realistic now I think.
omg yeeeeeeeeeees!!! i have what so long for this!!!!!!!!
hahahahahaha omg i turn so mutch i can and its not work and soon i tutch a tree and i flying aroud on the road XDDDDDD hahahah i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for updating the Frosty mods so quickly, it is just in time for the new SCS World of Trucks Christmas Event that just started today.
Grimes, would the physics mod work on ATS? I noticed that ATS Frosty mod doesn't have a physics mod and I just thought that since the two games are virtually the same 'under the hood' that the physics mod might work.
I would hold off on the ATS version at the moment, there are many issues with it, I will update it later in the week and give it its own physics mod.
Oh man, thank you so much, and you'll find that Santa has left a PayPal present under your tree this year. Great work needs 'appreciation'.
My German isn't great so perhaps someone could translate this better than me. Because of the new physics introduced in 1.33 there are issues with the physics mod, changes have to be made to it and a lot of testing but I don't have time for this just now unfortunately.
Thanks for updating. It doesn't feel like winter driving until I've got the glistening snow and ice. Just like home! Merry Christmas from Alberta, Canada!
Small donation sent, looking forward to the rest of the mods getting up to 1.33 level!
Thanks very much for the donation, hopefully I'll be able to release updates for the other season mods this week.
Hello there. The mod looks great, but including some installation instructions would have been much appreciated. I had to Google it myself, there are no instructions for this specific mod, but on forum posts about ETS2 mods in general it says to just copy the zip file to the mods folder for this kind of thing. The problem is, that doesn't seem to work for this mod. The mod and add-ons don't show up at all in the mod manager. With no instructions, I have absolutely no way to find out what I'm doing wrong. Could someone assist me here, please?
Unless specific instructions are given all you have to do with most mods is download the scs files and place them in your mod folder. So for example after downloading you should end up with frosty_7_0.scs which is 1,008,549 kb in size, place this in your mod folder, documents/euro truck simulator 2/mod and then when you open the game you should see it in Mod Manager, then it's just a matter of activating.
Ahh, I see the problem. With any other game, the mods folder would go in the game directory, like for example Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/ETS2. I must have skimmed over that bit when I went forum diving and assumed that it was the same. It's odd that it goes under Documents instead, but at least we've got it figured out. Thanks for the help!
Farming simulator is one of them.
Hey! I love your work and especially this mod but there is one thing I really don't like and it is that there is no snow sound while driving like there is gravel sound while driving on gravel Otherwise it is really good.
That was actually something I worked on a year or so ago, I remember it was difficult to implement, maybe I'll have another go at some point.
Physics are a little bit fucked up… I loved much more 1.32 physics. Could you update that for 1.33 and send it to me? I can pay if you want.
SCS made a lot of changes to the physics in 1.33, that's why it's been so difficult, I'm working on trying to improve it, you could try the older physics version, download above, and let me know if it works okay, maybe I'll just revert to that one.
To be honest I don't use maps on ATS so I don't know, maybe someone else will be able to tell you, maybe try asking on the SCS Forum as well.
There were issues with the physics mod so I updated it above if you want to check it out.
Oh shoot. Il make sure I check that out next time in on. Thanks for fast reply bud. Have a happy holidays!
I'd like to thank you for making the only mod in the two SCS games that even comes close to depicting snow. It is as real as it can be, considering that the weather/game engine only allows the depiction of the heavier rain droplets that can only fall to earth fast as opposed to snowflakes, which are inherently lighter than water droplets. These are are supposed to fall to the ground like white confetti would fall, if dropped from an aircraft. Maybe someday SCS will change the game engine in significant ways so as to allow the physics needed to depict 'white confetti'. Until then I hope that, in the future, you can see your way clear to make an ATS version of the Heavy Winter Weather mod, maybe when the game map gets bigger and the game grows in stature, but hopefully before then. You are one of the few modders that I support financially, when funds allow, because I get the most enjoyment and game realism from your mods. I play both SCS games extensively and realism is key to enjoyment.
Thanks very much for the donation Patrick, as you say if we were able to have realistic snowfall that would look amazing, hopefully one day.
If you're using the default version of Frosty try disabling grass, you'll get a snowy landscape and it might speed things up a bit for you.
i must have new baltic dlc to have this mod on default map ?
No, it works with or without dlcs.
Vintage Coca Cola skins for Owned Trailers.
After the seasonal and sound fixes in that order? But I'm guessing I can't have your winter, summer, spring and autumn addons all installed at once, as I'm guessing they conflict with each other and the game doesn't know which to use?
Cheers in advance for any info on your multiple seasonal mods.
Might remove RGM as it might cause conflicts with Frosty but other than that looks good.
Cheers Grimes. I'll pull the realistic and darker night addons out. But I assume your season mods aren't compatible with each other?
No, only use one season mod at a time.
Frosty is not compatible with Mario Map.
Ohh okey so thanks for reply and merry christmas !
As far as I know, the Mario map is using stolen IP from ProMods and TSM and just about every other hard working modders, it is a cancer in our game and needs to be cut out. Its a shame that there isn't a way for ProMods and TSM to put some kind of DRM on their content that they work so hard to provide for us to use.
I don't understand why this is happening. My game crashes when I have Frosty in the game. With no other mods just frosty in there are crashes but I have the right version. Do you know why?
When the game crashes copy your game log and paste it at pastebin.com and I'll take a look.
You have placed the ETS2 version of Frosty in your American Truck Simulator mod folder.
hey grimesmods, does this works in default dlc map??
Yes, it works with or without dlcs.
does this mod works in etrs2 1.33??
Many thanks Zuputo, hope you had a nice xmas.
is the game same after romeving the mod like before adding the mod?
Yes, doesn't cause any issues with your profile.
A tunnel is just a model that is placed over an existing road, they don't use unique textures so there is nothing I can do about that.
can u compress its file size?
It's already compressed, there's nothing I can about that unfortunately.
on l instal ou ?
Can't download it from sharemods, the website just won't let me download it.
There's an issue at the moment because of download requests from TruckerMP, you'll have to wait until it calms down a bit.
Hey, MP have added support for Wintermod however sharemods is crashing all the time and a lot of players don't know how to install it to MP. I have made an installer which is downloading from sharemods (with your exact link) (only i can access installer as im testing) but sharemods constantly is going down. Am i able to re-distribute (with credits!) the installer and upload your mods to something like Google Drive?
No you can't do that, it will calm down eventually and people will be able to download.
By the way, i will use sharemods but is the installer alright or is that not allowed either. Just making sure.
Just to clarify (i cant edit comments damn) but the installer makes you download the files from sharemods and then it finds them in the user's downloads folder, which then moves the files to ETS2MP/mod.

Children just love to press buttons, especially if the button is illuminated. This simple trick shows how to use a small piece of acrylic with a 6mm hole drilled through it to protect the switch from little fingers. The appliance can still be switched on or off using a small hex key, or anything that is round and small enough to fit through the 6mm hole. A special key was made at the same time using a scrap piece of Perspex from some 4mm thick pink Perspex. Everbuild's mammoth tape is used to secure the acrylic in position which gives an incredibly strong bond.
And a whole host of other electrical appliances.

She could also bind John's life force to Elena, ensuring her survival after the sacrifice. Despite all the pain, loss and suffering that she has endured, Bonnie still remains rather strong, especially in the face of danger and adversity.

Another post based on a project from the Creativ Festival! This one is from a wire bead workshop by Giovanna Paz. I've never worked with wire, so I was completely taken with the photo of these beads when reading the workshop descriptions in the registration book. Here are the earrings and pendant I made in the class, aren't they fascinating?
Turns out they are the easiest things in the world to make. All you need is a coiling tool. I picked up the Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo at Micheals with a 40% off coupon for less than $10.
Pull the coil off the rod and stretch it apart like a spring. The coil on the top hasn't been stretched yet, the one on the bottom has.
Once the coil is stretched out, just start winding it into a ball by hand. It's the same motion as you'd use to wind up a ball of yarn – work for a bit in one direction and then turn and wind in another direction. The goal is to get the little individual coils to fit together to make a fairly compact ball.
Voila! Gorgeous wire beads that look at lot more complicated than they actually were.
You can really vary what the final beads look like based on the gauge of coil rod you use, how long a coil you make, and how tightly you compress the bead as you form it. And of course, the colours of wire you choose!
I seriously can't stop making these things. Here are the smaller red ones from above finished into earrings. And a pair of green wire beads made using a finer gauge of coil rod.
And a few more (mostly pendant sized) beads with a ruler for size comparison.
If you're interested in making these, Giovanna sells a YouTube video tutorial through her Etsy store, as well as many colours of 28-gauge wire.
Or, if you prefer, Giovanna sells the finished earrings as well!

Q: Converter character com precisão Considerando que o conteúdo de uma certa variável seja "001" de classe character.
Preciso transformar tal caractere para numérico. Se faço as.numeric(), ele me retorna 1.
Eu quero que me retorne exatamente 001, é possível?
Obrigado.

A: O problema está no == e não na classe. O == funciona somente para um valor. Para comparar com mais de um valor, tem que ser %in%. No seu caso:
desp2[desp2$codigo_novo %in% c('1049', '1001'),]

Da mesma forma no subset:
subset(desp2, codigo_novo %in% c('1049', '1001'))

Usando o ==, seria necessario duas comparações:
desp2$codigo_novo == '1049' | desp2$codigo_novo == '1001'

Remembrance in Nuneaton and Bedworth: All you you need to know about the services and parades
They take place this Sunday
Proud veterans took part in the parade
Nuneaton and Bedworth will continue its proud tradition of remembering the men who did not return home from the great war.

It is one of the largest Remembrance Parades in Warwickshire and draws crowds of up to 5,000.
The proud sight of the war memorial at the heart of Riversley Park.
Over in Bedworth, as well as the proud Armistice Day Parade, which is held on Monday (November 11), there is also a Remembrance parade and service planned for this Sunday and will be held in the Coventry Road cemetery.

The parade will form up at the Ex Servicemen's Club in Rye Piece at 10.35am, ready to march off.
It will then leave the club, head onto Rye Piece towards the Coventry Road Cemetery.
The service will take place with hymn, Dedication for Book of Remembrance and prayers.

Motorists are being warned that road closures will be in place around both town centres to ensure that the parades can pass to and from the services safely.
What about Armistice Day?
Preparations are being put in place for the special event on Monday morning.
This year, the event will be started at 10.30am by a lone bugler, who will walk along High Street and into the cemetery, as an effective call to arms to those marching proudly in the parade.
The service will be held from 11am at the War Memorial in Bedworth's Coventry Road Cemetery in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire representing the Queen, the Mayor of Nuneaton and Bedworth, invited dignitaries and guests, the citizens of Bedworth and the surrounding towns, and supporters from all over the country.
The parade will march through Bedworth town centre before forming up in the cemetery for the Armistice service.
There will then be the famed poppy drop during a two-minute silence and the parade will head off again, stopping for the blessing of the wall shortly after.
Then the parade will march along Rye Piece Ringway where the salute is taken, wheeling left at the Pin Island to re-enter the pedestrian zone before dismissing at The Alms Houses.

Nagel on Aristotle on identifying with the 'highest part of ourselves' – Andrew James Taggart, Practical Philosopher, Ph.D.
What is the ergon of human beings, asks Thomas Nagel in his essay on Aristotle's eudaimonia, for the answer to the question of how to live hangs on this. The ergon (function) of the hammer is to pound in nails; a poor hammer may be too heavy to wield, too flimsy, too poor at pound in nails, etc.; a good hammer may even be called perfect if it pounds in nails most excellently. But what of the ergon of human beings?
Among Aristotle scholars, there has continued to be debate about how to square Aristotle's case for the moral virtues, which are at home in the political community, with his 'intellectualist' case that human beings should seek to transcend their worldly status. Does Aristotle, in the end, give us a worldly vision, a contemplative vision, or some admixture? Nagel's conclusion is that Aristotle plumbs for the intellectualist view.
Aristotle believes, in short, that human life [those aspects, in other words, concerned with reproduction, survival, and securing reproduction and survival] is not important enough for humans to spend their lives on. A person should seek to transcend not only his individual practical concerns but also those of society or humanity as a whole.
The imperfections of applications of reason to practical matters is that these applications make human life the primary object of rational attention, whereas with reason man has become the only creature capable of concentrating on what is higher than himself and thereby sharing in it to some extent. His time is, so to speak, too valuable to waste on anything so insignificant as human life.
We must identify with the highest part of ourselves rather than with the whole. The other functions, including the practical employment of reason itself, provides support for the highest form of activity but do not enter into our proper excellence as primary component factors. This is because men are not simply the most complex species of animal but possess as their essential nature a capacity to transcend themselves and become like gods. It is in virtue of this capacity that they are capable of eudaimonia….
For a program whose goal is to identify with the highest part of oneself, see Plotinus….
