\section{Introduction}\label{intro}

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a_{\mu} = (g-2)_{\mu}/2$ provides a strong test of the Standard Model of particle physics. The persistent $3-4~\sigma$ discrepancy between the experimental result and the theoretical prediction could be a sign of new physics. Two new experiments at Fermilab and J-PARC plan to reduce the error by a factor of four in the next few years~\cite{Venanzoni:2014ixa,Otani:2015lra}. The theory error is dominated by the hadronic vacuum polarisation (HVP) and the Hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) contribution and the latter is expected to dominate in the near future. Two collaborations have presented partial results on the direct calculation of the HLbL contribution \cite{Blum:2014oka,Blum:2015gfa,Blum:2016lnc,Green:2015sra,Green:2015mva,Asmussen:2016lse}. In a complementary way, lattice QCD can provide essential hadronic inputs for the models and dispersive approach to $a_{\mu}^{\mathrm{HLbL}}$~\cite{Colangelo:2014dfa,Colangelo:2015ama,Colangelo:2017qdm,Colangelo:2017fiz,Hagelstein:2017obr}. In particular, a lattice calculation of the pion transition form factor (TFF) can provide the necessary input for the dominant pion-pole contribution~\cite{Gerardin:2016cqj}. The contribution from other narrow pseudoscalar mesons could in principle be computed in a similar way even if the calculation is more demanding due to the presence of large disconnected contributions. However, higher intermediate states are resonances and the direct computation of the associated TFF is much more challenging.
Two-photon fusion processes are related to the light-by-light forward scattering amplitude via sum rules~\cite{Pascalutsa:2012pr}. Using a phenomenological parametrization of the $\gamma^* \gamma^* \to$ hadron cross sections and fitting the model parameters to the HLbL amplitude computed on the lattice, we are able to test its ability to describe the HLbL amplitude at spacelike virtualities and extract information about single-meson TFFs. The latter can then be used to estimate $a_{\mu}^{\rm HLbL}$ within the model.

\section{Light-by-light scattering amplitudes and sum rules}\label{sec-1}

The eighty-one light-by-light forward scattering amplitudes $\mathcal{M}_{\lambda_3\lambda_4\lambda_1\lambda_2}$ associated to the process $\gamma^*(\lambda_1,q_1) \ \gamma^*(\lambda_2,q_2) \ \to \ \gamma^*(\lambda_3,q_1) \ \gamma^*(\lambda_4,q_2)$ can be reduced to eight independent amplitudes using parity and time-reversal invariance~\cite{Budnev:1971sz},
\begin{gather}
\nonumber \mathcal{M}_{TT} = \frac{1}{2} (\mathcal{M}_{++,++} + \mathcal{M}_{+-,+-}) \,,\ \mathcal{M}_{TT}^{\tau} = \mathcal{M}_{++,--} \,,\ \mathcal{M}_{TL} =\mathcal{M}_{+0,+0} \,,\ \mathcal{M}_{LT} =M_{0+,0+} \,,\ \mathcal{M}_{LL} =\mathcal{M}_{00,00} \,, \\
\mathcal{M}_{TL}^{\tau} = \frac{1}{2} (\mathcal{M}_{++,00} + \mathcal{M}_{0+,-0})  \,, \mathcal{M}_{TT}^{a} = \frac{1}{2} (\mathcal{M}_{++,++} - \mathcal{M}_{+-,+-})  \,, \ \mathcal{M}_{TL}^{a} = \frac{1}{2} (\mathcal{M}_{++,00} - \mathcal{M}_{0+,-0}) \,.
\label{eq:amp}
\end{gather}
Here, $q_i$ and $\lambda_i=0,\pm$ are respectively the momenta and helicities of the virtual photons.
The amplitudes are either even (first six) or odd (last two) with respect to the crossing-symmetric variable $\nu = q_1 \cdot q_2$. Using the optical theorem, one can relate the forward scattering amplitudes to two-photon fusion amplitudes $\mathcal{M}_{\lambda_1\lambda_2}$ associated with $\gamma^*(\lambda_1,q_1) \ \gamma^*(\lambda_2,q_2) \ \to X(p_X)$. More explicitly we~have
\begin{equation}
W_{\lambda_3 \lambda_4, \lambda_1 \lambda_2} = \mathrm{Im}\,\mathcal{M}_{\lambda_3 \lambda_4, \lambda_1 \lambda_2}  = \frac{1}{2} \int \mathrm{d} \Gamma_X (2\pi)^4 \delta(q_1+q_2-p_X)  \mathcal{M}_{\lambda_1 \lambda_2}(q_1,q_2,p_X) \, \mathcal{M}^{*}_{\lambda_3 \lambda_4}(q_1,q_2,p_X) \,.
\label{eq:opt}
\end{equation}
Using unitarity and analyticity, it is then possible to write dispersion relations at fixed values of the virtualities $Q_1^2$ and $Q_2^2$. Considering once-subtracted sum rules, they can be generically written as \cite{Pascalutsa:2012pr}
\begin{subequations}
\label{eq:sr}
\begin{align}
\mathcal{M}_{\rm even}(\nu)  &= \mathcal{M}_{\rm even}(0) + \frac{2 \nu^2}{\pi} \int_{\nu_0}^\infty \! d \nu^\prime \frac{1}{\nu^{\prime}(\nu^{\prime \, 2} - \nu^2-i \epsilon) } W_{\rm even}(\nu^\prime) \,, \\
\mathcal{M}_{\rm odd}(\nu)  &=  \nu \mathcal{M}^{\prime}_{\rm odd}(0) + \frac{2 \nu^3}{\pi} \int_{\nu_0}^\infty \! d \nu^\prime \frac{1}{ \nu^{\prime 2} ( \nu^{\prime \, 2} - \nu^2-i \epsilon) } W_{\rm odd}(\nu^\prime) \,,
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
where even/odd refers to the parity of the amplitude with respect to the variable $\nu$. The first step is to compute the eight forward amplitudes on the lattice. In a second step, we present a phenomenological model to describe the two-photon fusion processes and then evaluate the right-hand side of Eq.~(\ref{eq:sr}): the main ingredients are the single-meson TFFs. Finally, fitting the lattice data with our phenomenological model we obtain information about TFFs which, in turn, can be used as input parameter in the calculation of the HLbL contribution to the muon $(g-2)$.

\section{Lattice results}\label{sec-2}

\subsection{Lattice setup}

On the lattice, we compute the Euclidean four-point correlation function
\begin{equation*}
\Pi^E_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}(Q_1,Q_2) = \sum_{X_1,X_2,X_4}
\, \langle J^c_{\mu}(X_1)\, J^c_{\nu}(X_2)\, J^l_{\rho}(0)\, J^c_{\sigma}(X_4) \rangle_E \ e^{-i Q_1 (X_2-X_1)} \ e^{ i Q_2 X_4} \ + \ {\rm contact\ terms} \,,
\end{equation*}
where $J_{\mu}(x) = \frac{2}{3} \overline{u}(x)\gamma_{\mu}u(x) - \frac{1}{3} \overline{d}(x)\gamma_{\mu}d(x)$ is the electromagnetic current and the upper index $l,c$ refers to the local and point-split vector current respectively. The latter is exactly conserved on the lattice and does need renormalisation. For the local current, the renormalisation factor $Z_V^{{l}}$ has been computed non-perturbatively in Ref.~\cite{DellaMorte:2005xgj,Fritzsch:2012wq}.
In this work, only the subset of fully connected diagrams, depicted in Fig.~(\ref{fig:4pt}), is considered.
We use five CLS (Coordinated Lattice Simulations) lattice ensembles with two degenerate dynamical quarks at two different lattice spacings  and pion masses down to $190~\mathrm{MeV}$. The ensembles, whose parameters are listed in Table~\ref{tabsim}, are generated using the plaquette gauge action for gluons~\cite{Wilson:1974sk} and the $\mathcal{O}(a)$-improved Wilson-Clover action for the fermions~\cite{Sheikholeslami:1985ij} with the non-perturbative parameter $c_{\rm SW}$~\cite{Jansen:1998mx}. For each ensemble, the four-point correlation function is computed at two values of $Q_1^2$ ($Q_1 = (0,0,0,1)$ and $Q_1 = (0,0,0,3)$ in units of $2\pi/T$ where $T$ is the time extent of the lattice) and for all values of $Q_2$ such that $Q^2_2 \lesssim 4~\mathrm{GeV}^2$.
The helicity amplitudes in Eq.~(\ref{eq:amp}) are finally obtained from the Euclidean four-point correlation function
\begin{equation*}
\mathcal{M}(q^2_1,q^2_2,\nu) = e^4 \, T^E_{\mu\nu\mu'\nu'} \Pi^E_{\mu'\nu'\rho\sigma}(Q_1,Q_2) \,, \quad \mathcal{\overline{M}}(q^2_1,q^2_2,\nu) = \mathcal{M}(q^2_1,q^2_2,\nu) - \mathcal{M}(q^2_1,q^2_2,0) \,,
\end{equation*}
for some Euclidean tensor $T^E$. In particular, an explicit expression for $\mathcal{M}_{TT}$ can be found in~\cite{Green:2015mva}.

\subsection{Connected contribution to the light-by-light forward scattering amplitudes}

The result for a subset of the eight amplitudes for the ensemble F7 is depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig:amp} for a fixed virtuality $Q_1^2 = 0.352~\mathrm{GeV}^2$. The amplitude $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TT}$ is positive as it corresponds to a physical cross section whereas $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TT}^{a}$, $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TT}^{\tau}$ and $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{LT}$ are related to interference terms in Eq.~(\ref{eq:opt}) and are not sign definite.

\section{Description of lattice data using phenomenology}\label{sec:model}

\subsection{Parametrization of the hadronic two-photon fusion cross sections}

In this section, we describe the main assumptions used to describe our data using phenomenology.
Concerning single-meson production, only C-parity-even states are involved. We therefore include pseudoscalar, scalar, axial and tensor mesons and consider only the lightest state in each channel. Since we are working with two degenerate dynamical quarks, isoscalar $\eta$-type mesons are not included. Furthermore, based on flavor symmetry and large-N counting (N is the number of colors)~\cite{Bijnens:2016hgx}, one can show that with two dynamical quarks, the non-singlet meson poles contribute with a factor $34/9$ to the fully-connected diagrams and the singlet mesons do not contribute whereas in the 2+2 disconnected diagrams, in addition to the singlet mesons, the non-singlet mesons contribute with a factor $-25/9$ thus largely compensating for the previous factor 34/9. Therefore, since we neglect disconnected contributions, we do not include isoscalar and isovector mesons separately but only isovector mesons with an overall factor $34/9$, and the list of particles is given in Table~\ref{tab:particles}.
Finally, the Born approximation to $\gamma^*\gamma^* \to \pi^+\pi^{-}$ cross section is included using scalar QED as in Ref.~\cite{Pascalutsa:2012pr} dressed with a monopole vector form factor. Since this contribution turns out to be small, the monopole mass will not be fitted but set to the lattice rho mass.
\begin{table}[t]

\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Our simulations are performed away from the physical quark masses; therefore, the pion and rho meson masses are set to their lattice values determined from the exponential decay of the pseudoscalar and vector two-point correlation functions. For other resonances, we simply assume a constant shift in the spectrum, such that $m_X = m_X^{\phys} + (m_{\rho}^{\lat} - m_{\rho}^{\exp})$.

The pion TFF has been measured experimentally by several collaborations in the single-virtual case for virtualities in the range $Q^2 \in [0.6-40]~\mathrm{GeV}^2$~\cite{Behrend:1990sr,Gronberg:1997fj,Aubert:2009mc,Uehara:2012ag}. The experimental data are well described by a monopole TFF but the latter is ruled out by lattice data obtained with both single and double virtual photons~\cite{Gerardin:2016cqj}. We therefore use the lattice results obtained on the same set of ensembles.

The scalar meson can be produced by two transverse~(T) or two longitudinal photons~(L) and the two-photon fusion process is therefore parametrized by two TFFs $F^T_{{\cal S} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}$ and $F^L_{{\cal S} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}$. The transverse TFF $F^T_{{\cal S} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}$ for the isoscalar meson $f_0(980)$ has been measured experimentally in the region $Q^2~<~30~\mathrm{GeV}^2$ by the Belle Collaboration~\cite{Masuda:2015yoh} and the results are compatible with a monopole form factor with $M_S = 800(50)~\mathrm{MeV}$. We therefore assume
\begin{equation*}
\frac{  F^T_{{\cal S} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) }{ F^T_{{\cal S} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(0, 0)  } = \frac{1}{( 1 + Q_1^2/M_S^2)(1 + Q_2^2/M_S^2)} \,,
\end{equation*}
where $M_S$ will be considered as a free fit parameter. The normalisation of the TFF is given by the two-photon decay width $\Gamma_{\gamma\gamma}$~\cite{Olive:2016xmw} and we assume that $F^L_{{\cal S} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2)$ and $ F^T_{{\cal S} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2)$ are equal.

For axial mesons, the two-photon fusion cross section is parametrized by two form factors $F^{(0)}_{{\cal A} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}$ and $F^{(1)}_{{\cal A} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}$ where $\Lambda=0,1$ corresponds to the two helicity states of the axial meson. Inspired by quark models, we use the same parametrization as in Ref.~\cite{Pascalutsa:2012pr}
\begin{align*}
F^{(0)}_{{\cal A} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) &= m_A^2 A(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) \,, \\
F^{(1)}_{{\cal A} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) &= - \frac{\nu}{X} \left( \nu + Q_2^2\right) \, m_A^2 A(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) \,, \\
F^{(1)}_{{\cal A} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_2^2, Q_1^2) &= - \frac{\nu}{X} \left(\nu + Q_1^2\right) \, m_A^2 A(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) \,,
\end{align*}
in which $2\nu = m_A^2 + Q_1^2 + Q_2^2$ with $m_A$ the meson mass and $A(Q_1^2, 0) / A(0, 0)   = 1/ (1 + Q_1^2/M_A^2)^2$ and assuming factorisation such that $A(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) = A(Q_2^2, Q_1^2)$.
The L3 Collaboration has measured the TFF for the isoscalar meson $f_1(1285)$ in the single-virtual case in the region $Q^2 < 5~\mathrm{GeV}^2$~\cite{Achard:2001uu,Achard:2007hm}, and their result reads $M_A = 1040(78)~\mathrm{MeV}$. In the following, $M_A$ will be considered as a free fit parameter and the normalisation of the TFF is given from the effective two-photon width as defined in~Ref.~\cite{Pascalutsa:2012pr}.

Finally, tensor meson amplitudes are described by four form factors $F^{(\Lambda)}_{{\cal T} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2)$ with $\Lambda = (0,T),\ (0,L),\ 1,\ 2$.
The single-virtual TFFs with helicities $\Lambda=(0,T),1,2$ have also been measured experimentally in the region $Q^2 < 30~\mathrm{GeV}^2$ by the Belle Collaboration~\cite{Masuda:2015yoh}, and data are compatible with a dipole form factor~\cite{Danilkin:2016hnh}
\begin{equation*}
\frac{  F^{(\Lambda)}_{{\cal T} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(Q_1^2, Q_2^2) }{ F^{(\Lambda)}_{{\cal T} \gamma^\ast \gamma^\ast}(0, 0)  }  =   \frac{1}{( 1 + Q_1^2/M_{T,(\Lambda)}^2)^2(1 + Q_2^2/M_{T,(\Lambda)}^2)^2} \,.
\end{equation*}
The four dipole masses $M_{T,(\Lambda)}$ will be considered as free fit parameters. Again, the normalisation of the TFFs are obtained from the experimentally measured two-photon width~\cite{Olive:2016xmw} assuming that the ratio of helicity two to helicity zero mesons is $r = 91.3~\%$ \cite{Dai:2014lza}. For helicity $(0,L)$, where no experimental data exist, we used the value extracted from Ref.~\cite{Danilkin:2016hnh} using dispersive sum rules.

In Fig.~\ref{fig:nu_dep}, we show the relative contribution of each channel to the different amplitudes at fixed virtualities $Q_1^2 = 0.352~\mathrm{GeV}^2$ and $Q_2^2 = 1.000~\mathrm{GeV}^2$. In Table~\ref{tab:contrib} we also give the relative contribution of each channel to the eight amplitudes.

The pseudoscalar and tensor mesons give the dominant contribution to the amplitudes $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TT}$, $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TT}^{\tau}$ and $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TT}^{a}$ involving two transverse photons. Here, the axial meson gives a small contribution, especially at low virtualities as expected from the Landau-Yang theorem.
The pseudoscalar does not contribute to $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TL}$, $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{LT}$ where the main contribution comes from axial and tensor mesons. In the last three amplitudes $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TL}^{a}$, $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{TL}^{\tau}$, $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{LL}$ all scalar, axial and tensor contribute significantly, sometimes with opposite signs.
Finally, scalar QED contribution is always small compared to other channels.

The chiral extrapolation is depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig:extrap}. The scalar monopole mass is $M_S =~1.01(9)~\mathrm{GeV}$, slightly above the experimental result from the Belle Collaboration, which obtains $M_S = 796(54)~\mathrm{MeV}$ for the isoscalar scalar meson~\cite{Masuda:2015yoh}. The axial dipole mass $M_A = 1.40(5)~\mathrm{GeV}$ should be compared with the experimental value by the L3 Collaboration $M_A = 1040(80)~\mathrm{MeV}$ for the isoscalar $f_1(1285)$~\cite{Achard:2001uu,Achard:2007hm}.
Finally, the tensor dipole mass $M^{(2)}_{T} = 1.42(12)~\mathrm{GeV}$ is close to the value obtained in \cite{Danilkin:2016hnh} from a fit to the Belle data~\cite{Masuda:2015yoh}. However, the dipole masses $M^{(1)}_{T} = 1.73(10)~\mathrm{GeV}$ and $M^{(0,T)}_{T} = 2.03(6)~\mathrm{GeV}$ are above the values quoted in~\cite{Danilkin:2016hnh}  ($M^{(1)}_{T} = 0.916(20)~\mathrm{GeV}$, $M^{(0,T)}_{T} = 1.051(36)~\mathrm{GeV}$).

\section{Conclusion}\label{sec:conclusion}

We have presented a first lattice calculation of the eight light-by-light forward scattering amplitudes. Only the fully-connected subset of diagrams is included so far and we plan to include the 2+2 disconnected diagrams which have been computed for the ensembles E5 and F6. The amplitudes satisfy dispersion relations which involve the two-photon fusion processes. Assuming that only a few states are needed to saturate the sum rules, we have proposed a phenomenological model to describe our data. The main inputs are the associated single meson TFFs. For the pion, we use our recent lattice calculation and for scalar, axial and tensor mesons, we assume monopole and dipole TFFs, where monopole and dipole masses are considered as free fit parameters whereas the normalisation is taken from experiment. The model is in good agreement with lattice data and using different pion masses we are able to extrapolate our results to the chiral limit and compare with experiment. \\

On an impulse, Penny buys back her old car, the Leaping Lena, even though she has a new car and no money, but fortunately, she gets another job at her father's newspaper. Penny discovers a strange silken ladder and learns how it is used in burglaries.
"Not to my knowledge," Louise answered. "If I were in your shoes I should worry about more serious matters than those connected with a mere silk ladder."
"The world is filled with serious things," sighed Penny. "But mystery! One doesn't run into it every day."
"You do," said Louise brutally. "If a stranger twitches his ears twice you immediately suspect him of villainy."
"Nevertheless, being of a suspicious nature won me a new car," Penny defended herself. "Don't forget Dad gave it to me for solving a mystery, for telling his newspaper readers what was going on Behind the Green Door."
"Oh, your curiosity has paid dividends," Louise admitted with a laugh. "Take for instance the time you trailed the Vanishing Houseboat, and again when you lowered the Kippenberg drawbridge to capture a boatload of crooks! Those were the days!"
"Why dwell in the past, Lou? Now take this affair of the silk ladder--"

Corporate Training News
Local companies and agencies provide contact and support for IT job seekers
Dec 08, 2015 • by Paige Shacklett
Maricopa Corporate College is beginning to see a spike in diversity amongst its students and recently partnered with five local companies to offer support to these groups as they seek new technology careers, according to MCOR spokesperson.
"We have students from a diverse array of background, age, race, and gender participating in our boot camps," Patti O'Brien, Director of Marketing at MCOR said. "Technology careers are starting to attract a more diverse group of professionals."
The diverse group of students enrolled at MCOR is part of a new trend in the technology field that has a history of being occupied predominantly by white males, O'Brien said.
"We're enrolling students who are older and have found the need to update or re-tool their skill and knowledge base to stay competitive in today's workforce. We're also enrolling the younger generation who understands the value in our competency-based boot camp that will quickly train them for local open jobs," O'Brien said.
MCOR's goal is to narrow the skills gap in the technology sector by introducing the recent diverse group of graduates to five local employers at a Web Developer Career Panel and interview event.
The event was hosted at the Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation (CEI), a branch of MCOR, on Sept. 30 in Phoenix, Ariz.
Representatives from Phoenix-based technology companies Axosoft and meltmedia, government entities Arizona State Department of Administration and Paradise Valley Community College, and State Farm participated in a panel discussion and interviewed students.
"These same five companies are all joining the mission to fill the skills gap with a diverse group of new tech-skilled workers," O'Brien said.
In an effort to prepare the new boot camp graduates for upcoming job openings, representatives from each company offered them career advice and mock interviews.
Yet many of the panel participants treated the interviewing portion as an opportunity to find qualified applicants for current job openings within their company.
Web Developer Boot Camp panelist and Arizona State Department of Administration representative Katie Matysik recruits IT professionals for 130 state agencies, boards, and commissions.
"I think it is a good way to meet folks that are interested in these roles and want to learn more about the opportunities that are out there," Matysik said. "At the same time it is a great way for me to show why we would be the employer of choice for them when they are ready to take on this new career change."
Matysik said she attends boot camps like MCOR's to address the critical shortage of skilled technology professionals throughout the state.
"With so many job boards and applicant tracking systems, folks often feel like they are just sending resumes into a black hole," Matysik said. "I am always looking for ways to meet with folks on a personal level and give them a contact person on the inside."
Jason Johnson, Data Specialist at State Farm attended the Boot Camp as a professional panelist in hopes of finding qualified applicants.
"State Farm believes in assisting programs to empower communities by providing them with the resources and education that they need," Johnson said.
Matthew Rausch, director of human resources at meltmedia said his company is always looking for a way to enhance the technology community both outside and within the company itself.
"We are committed to our community, and to helping develop folks in our industry into mature professionals who are skilled enough to work at the top tech companies in the country," Rausch said.

NewBeeDrone has a new smart charger available for charging up all your Tiny Whoop 1S lipo battery packs. It's compact, easy to use and has 4 separate charging chips to independently charge up to 4 batteries at the same time.
NewBeeDrone has a new smart charger available for charging up all your Tiny Whoop 1S lipo battery packs. It's compact, easy to use and has 4 separate charging chips to independently charge up to 4 batteries at the same time. It also features a trickle charge mode that can revive over discharged batteries and resume normal charging once the voltage is up.
The unit has two switches, one controls two ports and the second controls the other two ports. It lets you select normal lipo charge or HV (High Voltage) charging. You can use a USB battery bank to power the charger via a supplied USB cable. Total output for the charger is 2A at .5A per port. There are LED lights to indicate charge status and a carrying case is included for storage and transport. It's a nice little unit for only $14.99.
Looks cool but it's $14.99 not $9.99!
Wow they must have changed it after I wrote this. Fixed above.
Would this work with Eflite's UMX batteries too? Is it the polarity the same?
I wish there was an option to apply a "storage" charge.
if you buy adaptors, it looks like it uses the bigger connector that is on the 500mah 1s size batteries .
I can tell you just from looking at it it won't. If you are referring to the 1S UMX batteries from E-Flite, they use the Molex Picoblade 1.25 mm connector. This uses the JST PH 2.0mm connecter (also commonly referred to as PowerWhoop). If you are thinking of the 2S UMX batteries, it won't do those either because this is just 1S charger.
On another note, has anyone tried this yet? I'm ordering some of the Nitro Nectar batteries from New Bee Drone, and thinking of picking this up. My multi-charger is not a true HV charge (can't go all the way to 4.35 V), so I'm thinking this might be a good, relatively inexpensive option.

A separate Australian response to the global trade impasse?
Andrew Hudson (Rigby Cooke Lawyers)/ 26/06/2019 /Leave a comment
Those in industry (let alone anyone with an interest in world news) would be painfully aware that global trade is under massive pressure at the moment. Examples of these threats are everywhere and if they come to pass, the consequences will be uniformly bad. Trade and global integration has been a driver of financial and social improvement with the World Bank estimating that more than a billion people have been lifted out of poverty over the last 25 years.
The ongoing political and trade battle between the US and China (and between the US and Mexico and Canada) fills the front pages of newspapers and lead stories on television thanks to the significant increases in tariffs by the US and threats to escalate those tariffs and other protective measures. China has threatened to retaliate in like terms. The inability to complete a multilateral trade deal at the World Trade Organization (WTO) together with the inability to resolve the disagreements between the US and the rest of the world on the appellate division of the WTO or the shape of any rule-based platform to resolve international trade disputes have left massive uncertainty for future plans. The ongoing Brexit fiasco contributes to that uncertainty as we come closer to the current deadline of 31 October 2019 to complete an organised UK departure from the EU.
The WTO has already noted the adverse impact on world gross domestic product (GDP) and other costs with one view that we are being shielded from the real drop in GDP as parties bring forward their business activities in fear that they will be more grievously injured once the 'wheels really fall off' and the looming war kicks into a higher gear with the real restrictions being imposed and if the impasse on reform at the WTO does not resolve. Problems with cooperation at the WTO and in its dispute resolution system would be a modern tragedy as it has been very successful in a number of ways, encouraging reductions in tariffs, improvements in trade integration and the creation of a number of valuable plurilateral agreements. There seems to be general agreement that some reform is useful but the demands for significant change on a unilateral basis from the US (to serve US ends) could be seen as an attempt to move away from the rule of law to the rule of force. Sensible global reform and improvement to advance the global cause would be the preferred outcome.
On a parochial basis, these developments are creating real and immediate concerns for Australia. In more recent time, following decades of protectionist policies, Australia has been to the forefront of trade liberalisation including early unilateral reductions in tariffs and protection for certain 'sheltered' industries. This has led to our average tariff now being close to zero as we have secured increased global trade integration. Australia is working extensively on bilateral and plurilateral Free Trade Agreements (FTA) and is working through the WTO and in other fora to develop other trade initiatives. It is also collaborating with other like-minded major trading partners to develop plans to reform and maintain the WTO and all of its operations including facilitating trade enhancement and providing a basis for resolution of trade disputes.
Despite its existing work, some have despaired that Australia, acting alone, cannot influence the global agenda and can do little to maintain its economic security, let alone continue its growth. The question of unilateral Australian action has recently been addressed by the Productivity Commission (Commission) with the publication of its Trade and Assistance Review 2017 – 18 (Review) the most recent of its annual reviews including a chapter entitled 'The future of the world trading system' as its 'Theme Chapter' to the Review.
The Commission has for long been a source of valuable research and recommendation in economic matters including in relation to trade. In an earlier report it had questioned the real value of our FTAs citing no real significant gains from those FTAs. In earlier editions of the Review it had called for unilateral reductions in tariffs to zero, the reduction in other industry support and removal (or revision) of our anti-dumping regime due to the recognition that dumping and subsidies could actually deliver an advantage to the economy far in excess to the damage to Australian industry. This included a separate proposal for a 'National Interest' test to assess whether trade remedies measures were actually in the broader national interest as opposed to merely looking at injury to local industries affected by the dumping or subsidy.
The Review was released on 12 June 2019, with a lead message confirming that global trade is under its greatest threat since World War II. It includes a series of recommendations on economic and trade issues, as well as social issues although my focus is on economic and trade issues, only some of which are discussed below.
The Commission observed that even though Australia is not directly engaged with the majority of the main trade issues, it would be directly affected by the consequences of a trade war – and would also be directly affected if that war was averted between the US and China (and maybe the EU) through a series of massive trade deals which would divert trade away from Australia. Further, even though Australia has been portrayed as a proponent and leading party in liberalising trade, the Commission found that Australia 'has continued to retreat into protectionism in some areas' through AU$14.4 billion in annual assistance to industries that lowered its international competitiveness. The Commission further found that 'we damage our own prosperity by maintaining nuisance tariffs, other trade restrictions and one of the most active anti-dumping regimes in the world.' According to the Commission, manufacturing and primary production receive 28% of assistance while contributing nine % of value added to the Australian economy.
In the context of the primary production industry it found that government support through droughts often undermined the incentives to farmers to manage their own risks and were ineffective in supporting sustainable farming practices. It said that a new drought policy and a review of subsidies was warranted.
Although there were a number of recommendations in the Review, some which were consistent to previous recommendations were that Australia should dismantle its anti-dumping regime and unilaterally remove its one to five % tariffs, which the Commission described as 'nuisance' measures only delivering two billion a year but requiring a massive support network to be levied and recovered.
Those particular recommendations were of no great surprise as they echoed earlier recommendations by the Commission. They had previously been rejected and there seems little prospect that they would now be accepted either in political or commercial circles. The recommendations draw from the Commission's own form of economic assessment which may not include consideration of wider policy issues. It was not surprising that some responses were that the current policy settings were there for good reason in accordance with international agreements, policies and standards so that movement would need to be driven by other factors (for example, the offer of reducing tariffs on European vehicles as part of negotiations with the EU for an FTA). However, in my view, the recommendations of the Commission warrant very close attention together with considering how there could be a 'second best' reform which includes keeping the existing regimes but improving how they operate so that they are not seen as protectionist or inefficient.
Consistent with its position on the importance of an open global economy, the Commission was also strong in its recommendations to support the WTO and to take all possible steps to achieve position outcomes from the current tensions.
One ray of light from the Review was an apparent slight thaw in the position of the Commission regarding FTAs. In an earlier report, the Commission questioned the value of the FTAs (from a pure economic perspective). However the Review includes a recommendation for better outreach and engagement on the benefits and use of FTAs seeking to overcome general lack of knowledge or negativity regarding FTAs – which suggests a view that there are merits in FTAs after all.
The Review and its recommendations provide excellent hard data on current trade issues and propose changes which, even if not accepted in full, form the vital basis for work to improve on current economic and social policies.

EGBA shares concerns at Italian online gambling licensing proposals
The European Gaming and Betting Association has voiced concerns at Italy's proposed online gambling licensing regime, as well as asking authorities to notify the European Commission of its new draft law.
This comes as work continues on a new tender for online gambling concessions, which would limit the number of licensees in the country to 40 and increase fees to at least €2.5m from 2023
Furthermore, licensing fees would also be determined through an auction process rather than through a fixed licensing fee like in other European countries. The proposal would take effect from 1 January 2023, at the end of the current licensing term, and apply for nine years.
In addition to reminding the Italian authorities of its duty to notify its proposal to the European Commission, the EGBA also says that the propositions would be "a major barrier to a well-functioning market".
The trade association also says tender would weaken the viability of the country's regulated and licensed online gambling market, in favour of unlicensed operators.
The group adds that should the tender enter into force unchanged, it could become much more attractive for players in Italy to look for, and play with, unregulated operators.
Those players would no longer be protected by Italian consumer protection and gambling legislation, which would be contrary to the stated objective of the regulated online gambling market in Italy.
"We have asked the Italian authorities to duly notify the draft legislation to the European Commission," stated Maarten Haijer, secretary general of the EGBA.
"Notification is required by European law, and failure to do so will render the law inapplicable to Italian-licensed companies and its citizens.
"The Commission's careful scrutiny of this proposal is needed, also to make sure that the draft legislation will not be contrary to the consumer protection objectives of the Italian online gambling legislation."

Department Chair: Ms. Małgorzata Nobis, M.A.
Created in 1949, on the initiative of Professor Maria Renata Mayenowa, the Department consists of two units: one located in Toruń and one in Wrocław. The editorial work was first directed by Professor Franciszek Pepłowski (d. March 20, 2009). Currently, it is Professor Krzysztof Mrowcewicz who is in charge of all the projects and Dr. Patrycja Potoniec is the executive editor's deputy.
So far, there have been thirty six volumes of Słownik polszczyzny XVI wieku [A Dictionary of the Polish Language in the 16th Century] published (from "A" to "Roztyrkność"). The material basis of the dictionary is a collection of sixteenth-century texts representing, as much as possible, all forms of writing: verse, prosaic, continuous, dialogical, rhetorical, scientific, narrative, etc. They are texts of different social origins and varying degrees of literariness, coming from all areas of Poland of the sixteenth century. All the words appearing in those texts are tackled except for local nad personal names. The collected file has more than eight million cards (approx. 100,000 entries). Unedited materials are arranged alphabetically and made available to researchers.

I have been a breast cancer survivor for two years and three months.
This is a great site. My beloved had breast cancer 10 years ago, he made it but it was a long hall for him. I wish everyone the best in life.
My husband, at age 82, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of January, 1999. We were given the very best treatment by his primary care doctor, the surgical oncologist, the second and third opinion oncologists, his medical oncologist, the chemotherapy center. All covered by our HMO with no quibbling or hesitation. Five months after the mastectomy, he developed a cough (before he had the last of the chemogherapy cycles). Three weeks later he died as a result of the cancer metastasizing into his lungs. Now my goal is to encourage all men to be aware that all lumps should be investigated promptly. We need to educate physicians and lay persons about this fierce attacker.
Thanks for your website. I am 42 and was diagonsed with male breast cancer in February, had surgery immediately and followed that with chemotherapy.(all this during tax season, I'm a CPA). I am extremely fortunate that everything is looking good now. Thanks for your website and the opportunity to see I'm not alone.
I've just undergone a radical masectomy. We received lab results yesterday that there was no residual cancer in the lymph nodes. Thank God. My family and I have been searching the WEB for info on BC. Thanks for the info and the chance to chat with others in my condition.
Hi my name is Martha Haley I am a 3 year breast cancer survivor and is intersted in receiving information from your organization. I speak with male/female survivors of b/c and would love to share your information with them.
I would like to thank you for the web page. My father was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. It was a shock and info was hard to fing. He is doing well and because of early detection he is here today.
Thanks for a great cause. I joined the Male Breast Cancer support group over 1 year ago when my father's breast cancer returned after 5 years of being cancer-free. His fight ended on August 31, 1998 at the age of 57 years. The group was there for me throughout and still is to this date. Bob's death hit hard as this was the second death from breast cancer that I was part of. I wish Canadians fought as hard as you Americans are, at finding a cure and letting the world know about male breast cancer. I am only one small person in a big world but I am trying to help out the best I can. Keep up the fight and one day we can make my father, Bob, and of course John Nick, and others like them proud of our accomplishments.
Thank you for your efforts to use this site to raise the awareness of men with breast cancer. I will reach the five year mark this March, having been diagnosed with MBC at age 46. My doctor immediately responded to my concern about a lump under my left breast, and the following days went by quickly: mammogram, lumpectomy, mastectomy with lymph node removal, bone scan. This was followed by 6 months of chemo (CMF), two years of Tamoxifen and three years of Arimidex. I've added a rigorous regimine of vitamins and strong exercise to my life. For the moment, I'm healthy!
Way to go Nancy! This is truly an informative web site. Karen and I are so happy to see your efforts are having such a positive and helpful impact on the lives of so many people. Keep up the good work!
I am in Florida with my Aunt Nancy ,and I am having a wonderful time! And she is teaching me about male breast cancer too.
My grandfather, John Nick died of breast cancer, at the age 58.I was only 3 when he died, and now I'm in 6th grade. I never new about male breast cancer, until my Aunt NANCY NICK the founder, found out about it, and I'm very proud of her.
I am a 6th grader and am doing a project on breast cancer. Your site gave good info. in my speech I will tell them about your site. Good Job!
I lost my mom to Breast Cancer and I know what it feels like to lost someone you love. I am a 7th grader and I am doing a project on Breast cancer and i had no idea that men could get Breast Cancer. I am glad i visited this site.
My grandmother died from breast cancer which spread. I wasn't aware of it effecting men also.
Hi Nancy I enjoyed talking with you today & finding out about your foundation. I am sharing the information with my husband and male friends. I wish you well in your efforts to promote the education of public to the danger of breast cancer in men.
My father (56 yrs old) was diagnosed with breast cancer in June of 1998. He had a mastectomy and 6 months or chemotherapy, and now is deciding what the next step is. The doctors are recommending 5 years of Tamoxifen and 6 weeks of radiation. He is doing well and is definitely surviving, and we are believing that he will beat this thing. It is frustrating that 99.9% of the Web sites out there are for women, and I have a lot of questions about the drugs they want to give him. Thanks for being out here for people like me to read these stories of survivors.
MY GRANDPA DIED OF BREAST CANCER AT 58. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM I WAS ONLY THREE.
I had a research paper to do on any health topic I wanted, so I chose breast cancer in men. My professor was so surprized about the topic, because he didn't know that men could have breast cancer. So I decided to research it to make sure I hadn't made a mistake and came up with your website. Thank you.
My father was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. It was reassuring to find this site - this is the good side of technology.
I was browsing the web for information about starting a mobile mammography unit and stopped by your page. I am sorry for your loss, but hopefully it will help promote the realizaiton that breast cancer can affect men too. Maybe we can do male detection as well as female if our program gets funded.

FLEETING DRAGONFLIES
Whimsical & modern bridal inspiration
for a summer english garden wedding
Last summer I had the opportunity to create alongside a very talented team, a project that has brought me so much joy. We put together a modern bridal inspiration editorial, with stylish details mingled with lush botanicals. A new look at a summer English garden wedding, inspired by the ephemeral dragonflies.
This project is very close to my heart for so many reasons. For one, I love the bold colours. They are such an unexpected and uplifting surprise. And yet, they work great for the stylish look I had in mind. I am also over the moon, with the whimsical, dreamy vibes that we have achieved. All while maintaining an aesthetic that is both current and easy to recreate.
Also, I finally had the chance to work in one of my favourite outdoor spaces in London – the Pergola at Hampstead Heath. And most importantly, I love it for the story and message that I could infuse with.
All in all, this project has summed up everything that I want to communicate, as a professional, to couples, and in particular to lesbian and gay couples, eager to make their wedding day truly memorable and utterly personal.
I curated this entire editorial to tell a story. Because thoughtful details and the story are the very things that make every experience outstanding and memorable. I wanted this project to encourage couples to take the same approach in planning their wedding, while also providing them with inspiration for the look and feel of their special day.

Fleeting Dragonflies: Whimsical & modern, English garden wedding
Categories Select Category Wedding Design Ideas Wedding Inspiration Wedding Planning Tips
Joy, laughter and love are the pillars of an awesome and memorable wedding. So, to me, to create a genuine and inspiring look for a summer English garden wedding, has meant letting the models have fun with it. Capturing precious moments, as they ran barefoot through the garden, laughed, played, climbed things, and got comfortable with each other.
A vision of dragonflies, for a summer english garden wedding
For bridal inspiration projects, I always use ideas that I find outside the realm of weddings, to give me the story and unique edge that I normally get from the couples I work with. Most often I use ideas that I get out of the blue, in the most unexpected moments. These are the ideas I feel on an emotional level, rather than rationalising them. Which serves me better when building a story.
Such is the case of this editorial, which was prompted by my fascination with dragonflies.
The inspiration | where it all started
Throughout last summer, I've noticed an astonishing number of dragonflies flying through my garden, no doubt due to the exceptionally warm weather. I've been mesmerised day in and day out, sitting at my desk, watching them flutter about. Looking like they were surfing on invisible air waves.
I've always had a fascination for them. As a kid, I used to follow them around and watch them up close. I almost got lost once, during a family picnic because I ran after a giant dragonfly.
And last year, seeing them so often fly by my window, I got an idea. Their lightness and delicate, fluid movements have struck a chord with me. A story had started to take shape in my mind. The story of two women, floating through winding vines and flowers in an English garden. Enjoying themselves in an intimate setting. Laughing. Loving. Taking in every precious moment…
The vision for a modern, sophisticated wedding that focuses on intimacy and individual style
From working with couples and from my own experience, I know that some of the most cherished memories happen during the ceremony and in those intimate moments, that the couple spend alone. And yet those also seem to be the ones that fly by.
I wanted this editorial to highlight those special moments in an authentic and joyful way. Therefore, we focused on capturing natural movement. The delicate interaction between the brides. And emotions such as the joy and calmness you feel once you are married to your loved one. So, that couples seeing these images would start to dream about these moments. And feel inspired to put an emphasis on making the most out of them.
The light movements, the delicate features and fleeting nature of dragonflies offered the perfect metaphor to convey the beauty and ephemeral quality of those love filled moments. And, equally, as an epitome of finesse and femininity, the dragonflies have also provided the inspiration for our couple. Two women, two distinct personalities, each radiating femininity in her own right.
Curating details to tell a story
The setting – a quintessential English garden, set in the heart of a wood, for a perfectly wild and natural summer wedding
The Pergola and Hill Garden at Hampstead Heath lent themselves perfectly to this project. The structure and adjacent garden are set in the middle of the wooded area of the Heath. If you've never been there, it's definitely one of the best places to check out on a summer day in London.
The Edwardian landscape gardens have the charm of a quintessential English garden, filled with native and exotic plants. While the Pergola is a raised walkway, stretching across the gardens and overlooking the entire Heath, with colonnades overrun by vines and climbing garden roses. A slightly faded image of a formerly more opulent structure, with a mysterious and whimsical air.
Every now and then, the structure opens into small alcoves, that seem to be there especially for couples to hide away. We used two of those corners to create the setting for the intimate ceremony and the lounge where the couple would retreat after. The columns and banisters of the Pergola, covered in dense climbing vines offered a perfect canvas for Zuzana, to create her fluttery floral arrangements on.
The charming gardens of Hampstead Heath, were the perfect setting for our summer wedding editorial. The structure of the Pergola, slightly faded and overrun with lush vines and flowers, offered the perfect touch of whimsical, dreamy and timeless. Just the right edge, for couples who want an untamed, natural and extravagant feel to their stylish, modern wedding.
A daring colour palette to reflect the vivid hues of dragonflies
The bold, rich colours were also inspired by dragonflies. Uncommon for a wedding, I chose the vivid palette to encourage couples to be brave with their colours, as well as with every other aspect of their wedding. Because colourful can also be elegant and sophisticated. And it is all the more fit for a wedding, as it has an uplifting and joyful effect.
While gold is a staple for weddings, the colour yellow is often seen as tacky and therefore is more rarely used. I wanted to demonstrate otherwise and encourage couples to take a braver approach to their colours. In addition to being a joyful and uplifting colour, yellow can also be elegant. It adds beautiful luminosity and contrast, when paired with the right hues. And, for a summer wedding, a yellow accent gives just the right note of heart-warming playfulness. Choosing the right tones of yellow however is very important to keep things stylish. I personally like to mix pale yellows with muted or warmer tones, to emulate a natural look.
Delightful floral and botanical arrangements + distinctive and refined modern decor to set the scene
For the florals and styling we picked delicate summer blooms with fluttery petals, winding vines, and light, sheer silks to suggest movement and mimic the delicate and airy quality of the dragonfly wings. We also took a cue from the surrounding forest and added some more grounded and opposing elements. Mosses, mushrooms and ferns, as well as heavy, rich velvet, were the balancing details we added to create a layered space full of surprises. The overall result being an extravagant, fairy-tale like space mirroring an untamed garden, in which our couple could sink and enjoy themselves.
I did however have a modern couple in mind. Which is why I chose a mix of contemporary furniture and props. Comfy velvet armchairs, geometrical tables and a stylish drinks trolley with brass accents, for an understated modern luxury feel.
The aim of the lounge was to create a comfortable and intimate space, similar to one a couple would have in their home. But instead placed outdoors and immersed in this lush, floral setting. A space where the couple could feel at ease and enjoy a few moments together, after the ceremony.
For the ceremony we used a small alcove that opened to one side of the Pergola, overlooking the garden and forest beyond. Nestled among columns wrapped in vines, Zuzana has created a patch of floral heaven. To complete the ambience, I used short beeswax pillar candles, placed on wooden sticks mimicking the palisade of the Pergola.
For an immersive setting, we took our cue from the surroundings. A carpet of moss, ferns and mushrooms, on the floor of the Pergola – a touch of the nearby forest. Columns and furniture wrapped in floating jasmine vines and fluttery garden roses, delphiniums, irises and pansies, typical of an English garden in the summer.
Imagining realistic personalities for the couple
With the couple I wanted to mirror, in a way, the duality that we were creating in the space. Each of them had a well defined and distinct style, but with a common ground.
I wanted to highlight different personalities who come together to find a common ground as a couple. While at the same time pointing out that these differences don't always come in a feminine/masculine duality. And that feminine can come in many shapes and forms.
Natalia was exuberant and bubbly, with a light and natural classic style. While Sophie was demure, grounded, composed and mesmerising, with a sleek modern style.
Bridal fashion and personal details that breathe feminine and understated elegance
Bridal Wearable Flowers
One of the main highlights for me were the wearable flowers we created for the brides. I wanted to offer a distinctive and stylish alternative for the bridal bouquet. For some brides, a bouquet can become cumbersome after a while, so delicate wearable flowers would be a great alternative. While for others, the wearable flowers are an alternative to jewellery, perfectly matched with a bridal bouquet.
I worked with Zuzana, to come up with ideas for jewellery style florals, that the brides could wear and that would retain the essence of the concept. The flowers needed to mimic the overall style of the other arrangements. But they also needed to be delicate not to be ostentatious and cumbersome to the brides.
Bridal Fashion, Hair & Make-up
For the accessories, I've focused on one colour and style for each bride. Sophie had a modern minimalist hoop ring and yellow velvet pumps. The gorgeous washi umbrella was an unexpected detail that I added just a week before the shoot. I came across it in a boutique Japanese shop in Notting Hill and it's one of my favourite details of the shoot. When I saw it, it struck me as the perfect final touch to complete Sophie's look. Something that is a bit out there, and gives her a note of originality, and mystique, without conflicting with the overall style. Natalia, on the other hand had a delicate vintage ring with a small sapphire and light blue heel sandals.
The designer gowns by Costarellos, were both light and airy, to allow for beautiful, flowy movement. However, each had a different cut and details to reflect the couple's differing styles.
I wanted the brides to have a clean look, to let their natural beauty shine through and stand out against the richness of the decor. So, the make-up was minimal for both, with relaxed up-dos that highlighted the beautiful colour of their hair.
The wearable flowers were designed to evoke dragonflies, but with each bride's personality in mind. Nathalia, wore 2 pairs of blue dragonfly wings as a flower necklace and in her hair. While Sophie's wearable flowers were more abstract and understated, wrapped on her arm, with floating, delicate maiden-hair vines, suggestive of movement and lightness.
Minimal and artful wedding stationery, for a touch of understated luxury
Stationery design is not normally part of my services (you can read here about my services). But it's something I like doing and have done in the past for a few clients.
And in this instance, I had a lovely designer on board who had to give up the project really close to the date. Which meant that I couldn't find anyone else in time for the shoot. So, I took on the challenge myself. I don't do calligraphy, but I do watercolour painting, drawing and digital design. And I really loved it.
The design focused on fluidity, transparency and movement. With watercolour layers, suggestive of clouds of smoke, floating around a floral vine. The text of the invitation was on vellum overlaid on a hand painted card. The Intro card and Vow booklets had special floral characters for the initials. And the whole pack was wrapped in glassine paper and tied with a delicate gold thread.
The overall look was modern, clean and understated, with a few classic touches.
Delectable and utterly original wedding cakes as an artistic statement & a delicious indulgence
Cakes were of course a must, to take the indulgence to a new level. The perfect complement to the drinks they'd have in the lounge.
I shared my story with Kate and asked her to create a modern cake that emphasized fluidity, movement and lightness, as a metaphor for the dragonfly flight. She ended up creating 3 cakes. The main cake was a gorgeous abstract interpretation of the lightness and fluid movement of dragonflies. And it complemented perfectly the watercolour painting on the invitation suite. The other two cakes were a more direct nod to the dragonflies and replicated textures and shapes from our setting. With one of them topped with a rice paper, hand painted dragonfly.
Honestly, I don't think she could have done a more amazing job.
If you are after unique details that engage, that spark conversation and make a statement, focus on subtlety. Creating analogies and abstract interpretations of your subject/inspiration and accentuating qualities, will be intriguing and will add to the charm of the experience. Kate's modern interpretation of flight and lightness, in the feature cake is the embodiment of a sunny, heartwarming, summer wedding day.
Looking at the images, perfectly captured by Inna, I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing work that the team (full team details at the bottom) have created, in helping me tell this story. And I hope that you enjoy it and find it inspiring as well.
Whether you love the look or not, my message remains the same:
Be brave to be yourself on your wedding day.
Let your personality shine.
Don't be afraid to be a little wild, unconventional and compromise less for others.
Take on board only those things (read traditions and trends) that make sense to you.
Put extra energy and thought into your most intimate and meaningful moments – make sure you breathe and let things sink in for a while before you move on. The rest is just a (albeit awesome) party that matters just a little less.
Focus on love, joy, laughter, and what comes most natural to you.
Give yourself room to move and spend a glorious time with the people that matter the most to you. So when planning, allow time and space for that and make choices that keep you comfortable throughout the day.
P.S.: How funny is it, that as I was writing this post, a year after l had the inspiration for the editorial, dragonflies were fluttering by my window again? 🙂

Difficult job of communicating with the target witness using an art media is carried out by the professional artist. It could be painting, sculpting, or some types of illustration in other forms that the professional artist would create for message dissemination among the clients.
Some of the common materials that are used in the artist job for creating such communication with target clientele are acrylics, clay, oils, pastels, plasters, pencil, papers, inks, drawing sheets, colors, and above all; the computer.
Using any other medium that will express feelings and ideas to others.
In addition, such art works are often displayed in ads, movies, TV and through streaming video or static photographs on the Internet.
A few downsides are there in the career as well like most other careers based on fine arts. Only the most successful and established artists are able to support themselves financially with the art works created and their sale values. This may not be possible for new or relatively unknown artists.
Work under some professional organization or groups.
People with a bachelor's degree in fine arts will find job prospects quite bright since many commercial companies require their services as brand and logo designers and also for designing their products to make them attractive to the customers.Difficult job of communicating with the target witness using an art media is carried out by the professional artist.

Q: DependencyProperty PropertyChangedCallback wiring I have a user control with a UniformGrid that has a number of Buttons.  I want to assign the same handler to each Button's Click event.  So, I added the following to the User Control:
    public RoutedEventHandler GridButtonClickHandler
    {
        get { return ( RoutedEventHandler ) GetValue ( GridButtonClickHandlerProperty ); }
        set { SetValue ( GridButtonClickHandlerProperty, value ); }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty GridButtonClickHandlerProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register ( "GridButtonClickHandler", typeof ( RoutedEventHandler ), typeof ( UniformGrid ),
            new PropertyMetadata ( GridButtonClickPropertyChanged ) );

    private static void GridButtonClickPropertyChanged ( DependencyObject o, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e )
    {
        ( ( UniformGrid ) o ).Children.OfType<Button> ( ).ToList ( ).ForEach ( b => b.Click += ( RoutedEventHandler ) e.NewValue );
    }

Then, somewhere where there is a reference to the User Control (numpad in this example), I have this:
numpad.GridButtonClickHandler += btn_clicked;

I have breakpoints at the GridButtonClickHandler set and the GridButtonClickPropertyChanged method; the first hits when the assignment happens, but the second never hits.
See what I am doing wrong?

A: You have registered your dependency propery on the UniformGrid to set a handler to it you need an UniformGrid instance and the following code:
uniformGrid.SetValue(MyUserControl.GridButtonClickHandlerProperty, new RoutedEventHandler(btn_clicked));

If it was not your goal and would like use it : numpad.GridButtonClickHandler += btn_clicked; where numpad is your usercontrol. Then the owner type should be your user control during the registration:
public static readonly DependencyProperty GridButtonClickHandlerProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register ( "GridButtonClickHandler",
        typeof ( RoutedEventHandler ),
        typeof ( MyUserControl),
            new PropertyMetadata ( GridButtonClickPropertyChanged ) );

A: You need a routed event, not a dependency property...
public static readonly RoutedEvent GridButtonClickEvent = EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent("GridButtonClick", RoutingStrategy.Bubble, typeof(RoutedEventHandler), typeof(MyUserControl));

public event RoutedEventHandler GridButtonClick
{
    add { AddHandler(GridButtonClickEvent, value); }
    remove { RemoveHandler(GridButtonClickEvent, value); }
}

And when a button is clicked, raise the event:
private void GridButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    RaiseEvent(new RoutedEventArgs(GridButtonClickEvent, this));
}

El Club Vigo Voleibol es el club decano del voleibol gallego con sede en la localidad de Vigo (Pontevedra) España  difundiendo el nombre de la ciudad por toda España y Europa. Fundado en 1969 por el Hermano Miguel, Luis Miró y Floriano Fernández. En 1971 ascienden por primera vez a la Superliga (por entonces liga nacional) y solo en dos temporadas no han estado desde entonces.
Entre el 2000 y el 2004 pasó por penurias económicas pero fue entonces patrocinado por la constructora Valeri Karpin, SL. aportando el 40% del presupuesto del club. Sin embargo, con el descenso a Superliga 2 deja de tener patrocinadores, aunque a la temporada siguiente consigue ascender.

Historia

El Club Vigo de Voleibol fue fundado en 1969 en el seno  del Colegio de los Hermanos Maristas de Vigo "El Pilar". El primer ascenso a la máxima categoría del voleibol español fue en 1971, situándose al siguiente año entre los equipos más importantes de España.

Con la llegada de la empresa M. Riego como patrocinador, alcanzó sus mayores éxitos logrando acceder en 1978 a la final de la Copa de S.M. el Rey. La trayectoria deportiva siempre fue brillante y las ocasiones en que el equipo descendió de categoría fueron por renuncia debido a problemas económicos. La desaparición de M. Riego hizo que en unos años hubiera varias empresas patrocinadoras del equipo pero ninguna era capaz de mantenerse durante un tiempo lo suficientemente largo como para que el voleibol vigués alcanzase tantos éxitos como antaño.

No es hasta 1992 con el patrocinio de Larsa, que el voleibol de Vigo alcanza nuevamente el reconocimiento que tenía en la década de los 70. Durante 5 temporadas, el equipo logró tantos éxitos como antes alcanzando varias veces la fase final de la Copa del Rey y disputando durante varias temporadas competición europea. Larsa obtuvo un gran reconocimiento, ya que en el mundo del deporte al equipo gallego se le conocía como el Larsa Voleibol. Los últimos patrocinadores fueron la empresa Conserva viguesa Miau durante la temporada 98-99, Valery Karpin S.L. desde la temporada 2003/04 hasta 2008 y Uorsa en la 2009-2010.

Finalmente, volvieron a descender pese al gran proyecto deportivo que lideraba Flavio Calafell. Un equipo que se ha mantenido merodeando por las categorías inferiores a la Superliga desde entonces.

Russia: Yeltsin Sees 'Historic' Place For Troika Summit
Moscow, March 26 (RFE/RL) -- Russian President Boris Yeltsin says his informal summit today with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and French President Jacques Chirac will have "a historic place" in the world.
Yeltsin, speaking at a joint press conference with Kohl and Chirac after talks at the Bor residence outside Moscow, said the two-hour meeting was productive. He said that the three leaders were "real friends."
Yeltsin said today's summit marks the start of the creation of a "multi-polar world". The Russian president has repeatedly called for such a world to offset the influence of the United States following the end of the Cold War.
Yeltsin said the three discussed, among other things, prospects for building a new joint aircraft based on the Antonov-70 as well as cooperation in forming a transport corridor from Paris to Moscow.
Kohl and Chirac did not delve into details of the talks but both praised the improving ties with Moscow. Chirac said the next troika will take place in France next year. As had been expected, the summit did not produce any major agreements.
Yeltsin had been expected in the talks to explain his decision earlier this week to dismiss the entire Russian government. It was not immediately clear whether the issue came up. Yeltsin declined to say categorically whether he will appoint the acting head of government, Sergei Kiriyenko, as full-time prime minister, answering only "maybe yes, maybe no" to a reporter's question on the issue.
The three leaders broke for lunch after the press conference. Kohl and Chirac are scheduled to leave this afternoon.


• Day school graduates express an extraordinary sense of responsibilitytoward influencing social values, helping those in need and affecting social change. 100 percent of Mirowitz alumni parents surveyed say that Mirowitz prepared their child to be an advocate for others.
• Day school graduates are more resistant to social pressures that lead to risky behaviors than their public and private school peers.
•Jewish day school students are equipped with Jewish literacy and a proficient knowledge of prayer. We love that community rabbis rely on our graduates to teach their religious school classes, to lead youth services and to serve as youth ambassadors to their boards.
• Graduates of day schools are predisposed to use their leadership skills to strengthen Jewish communities. At a gathering of student leaders at Hillel foundation, 70 percent indicated that they had attended a Jewish day school. 100 percent of alumni parents surveyed say their Mirowitz graduates were involved in Jewish studies and community organizations during high school.
Jewish day school students develop a profound commitment to Israel. Our alumni feel well informed about Israel and able to confidently take a stand on campus.
As a Pluralistic day school,Mirowitz fosters a value of diversity and the ability to maintain relationships that both transcend and preserve the diversity of our community.
At Mirowitz, all of that is combined with the highest quality of academics and daily discussions aboutliving an ethical and just life.

Beck's Lost Demo Tapes (1987-1995)
DISCLAIMER: This article (or part of it) deals with Violent, Sexual, Profane, and/or Drug-Related Content. Viewing is Advised.
In musician Beck's early days, he recorded many songs on cassette tape. This is done by playing a recorded tape into a recording tape while playing an instrument. He has claimed that he made hundreds of these tapes, many of which he still uses music from. He sold most of them at his early shows. So far, only a few of these tapes have surfaced and have been confirmed to be genuine. These are called:
Banjo Story (1988)
We Like Folk...Who Cares...Destroy Us (1991)
Buck Fuck Iowa (1992)
Don't Get Bent Out Of Shape (1992)
Beck, Like The Beer (1992)
Feel The Bunny (Unknown Date)
In 2016, an anonymous gmail user found a Beck demo tape in his uncle's tape collection, simply called "Beck", and soon after found another one in an uncle's friend's collection. The friend's tape was called "Beck The Ripper". According to the user's track-listing, the tape includes demos for popular newer Beck songs, such as "The Golden Age" and "Youthless". After difficulties mailing a copy of the tape to the popular fan site whiskeyclone.net the user decided to help his uncle's friend put the tape on ebay some time later this year. These tapes, as of right now, are fully unheard. A track-listing was printed on the tape, which usually wasn't done. This may be a sign that these tapes are fakes, but only time will tell.

Sometimes when I design I get a look that's like ceramic, sometimes it's like fabric. This Blossom & Blue Butterflies bird bath definitely has the fabric look about it. The random pattern of white blossom flowers, 3 shades of blue butterflies, and apple, mint, and jade green leaves give a lovely cottage feel to the bird bath, yet the colours and style are contemporary enough to fit in any style of garden.


This kilt pin features the design of a classic Claidhmhor and the rampant lion. It is available in a silver or antique finish. Claidhmhor, pronounced 'claymore', meaning 'big sword' is the original Highlanders' sword and was often incredibly large - requiring the use of both hands. This kilt pin features intricate texture detailing along the length of the blade.
