Worth it...A winner !...However, I think this product fits him better during the warmer days, when it's getting dry and cold, I notice that the matte-ness of this product (which would be a good quality for summer) makes his skin a bit too dry on the cheeks that there can be some peeling problems....First of all, it's very convenient thus perfect for morning rush or traveling.
This All-In-One Face Treatment helps calm the look of irritation and redness with a patented MPD-8 Complex™. It replenishes hydration, while helping to rebuild and fortify skin's moisture barrier over time. It helps diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and instantly absorbs oil with a patented iMatte™ technology—leaving skin looking clean and less shiny.
I love....Love it...Only thing that worked on my dark spots!...For me is a miracle since my skin texture is so soft, my pores reduced a lot and blemished and acne spots disappeared completely, My sking tone is great and my skin face looks more radiant and glowing, I'm very happy with this product.
Love It...Love this!...It's definitely meant to be used as a spot treatment and not something all over, though I did put a thin layer over my sensitive cheeks when they decided to redden....I bought a lot of boscia products at once back in february and I still have all of them and I have left for a few more months.
THE BEST...Love this!...The spots feels a little tingling after putting it on, gave me a feeling it would work....It is very consistent, as opposed to Exfolikate spot treatment which works only sometimes for me.
Love it....Works great!...I can wear less makeup or no make up at all and be confident with my skin....When I purchased the acne kit mainly to try the pads and cleanser, I almost ignored this cream but boy was I exhilarated when I found out it's the same treatment from the good old days, revamped and with a thinner consistency.
Love It...So nice...I purchased this product for my little sister after years of her fighting horrible acne (I was the lucky one and never had a blemish), she was so distraught and scared of anything moisturizing that when this came out I immediately bought it for her since I am a huge fan of this entire line....I have sensitive skin, redness with a mixture of rosacea and acne at times but since using Josie Maran's products for a year now, it has worked wonders!
The Best!...Works well...I felt no sticky or greasy feeling on my face nor did I have any redness or burning....I have been using the Lancer Advanced Retinol Treatment for a few weeks now and I am seeing amazing results, I love how my skin is looking more youthful and my fine lines are looking so much better.
I love it!...I am stunned....I've been using the spot treatment for ~3 months, and it's done a really good job of minimizing my acne and more so acne scars and hyperpigmentation....I can't say that I haven't had a breakout since using this line, but I'm just really happy to have found a line that I like and works for my skin.
Best ever...Great Stuff!...I received a complimentary jar of Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Brightening Overnight Treatment from Influenster about a month ago....A little goes a long way so I think the jar can last for a few months.
Crazy good!!!...So Far So Good...It does give a stinging or burning feeling sometimes when I use it but totally worth it!!...I bought this after a Kate Somerville facial at Sephora, and I love it!
love it...love it!...First off I love this mask, because it makes my face just feel really clean, but for me to make it work its best I have to wash my face first, exfoliate then use it....The container might not seem too big, but it actually has a lot of product and it lasts for a long time.
Amazing results...Great for acne!!...Dark stops fade within a few applications....This comes in a "Mini" version so very easy to try - belive me - it is worth every cent!
A powerful antiaging booster treatment that combines oxygen with firming retinol to create a smooth, supple glow.
Inspired by the most sought-after treatment at the Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts™ Clinic, this resurfacing booster treatment is formulated with a retinol active ingredient combined with natural bio-retinols. It supports natural collagen production and healthy cell turnover to create the appearance of firmer skin with increased elasticity, reduced wrinkles, and more even pigmentation. Its unprecedented delivery system infuses skin with three powerful ingredients in the Advanced HydraFill™ Complex: wrinkle-relaxing PFC-oxygen carriers, fast-penetrating hyaluronic acid, and radiance-boosting rare botanical extracts. The result is a complexion that looks smoother, more hydrated, and healthier.
- 100% of women showed significant improvement in the appearance of skin roughness, firmness, moisturization, pore size, discoloration, and fine lines around eyes.
Better than holy grail!...For reference, I'm 51 with fair, normal to dry skin....My skin tone looks improved and I just look like I've had 8 hours of sleep I don't use it every night or every morning but it is always in my arsenal....) This treatment truly makes you look more rested without any uncomfortable feeling of tightened skin.
A nighttime face treatment to help reduce the look of fatigue.
Midnight Secret Late Night Recovery Treatment reduces the appearance of puffiness and smooths away visible signs of tiredness so you wake up looking rested with a revitalized complexion and smoother skin. It's formulated with a blend of effective ingredients, including hydronoctine complex, to promote skin recovery in record time and is infused with a refined lavender fragrance by Guerlain's touch of tonka bean, known for its energizing and calming effect.
I love this so much!...My face is starting to glow more....The next morning my face feels smoother and I see a noticeable decrease in acne....I liked this cleanser because my face feels clean from all the excess oil.
My Holy Grail...Holy Grail Product...none of the La mer products break me out even though all their products have dimethicone listed in their top 3 ingredients....Amazing Treatment Primer in one.
A rose algae-infused, ultra-versatile silk-gel that beautifies and blurs skin for a soft-focus glow.
This rose algae-infused treatment helps skin tone appear more even for a look of endless translucency—soft and newly luminous. Day by day, texture and tone are refined, leading to a more smooth and supple complexion, as soft focus filter technology diffuses light to blur pores and imperfections for a delicate glow. Skin-polishing flat sea kelp creates soft and smooth, flawless-looking skin, while Miracle Broth™, the cell-renewing elixir at the heart of La Mer, hydrates, soothes, and energizes skin's natural repair cycle.
Customize your finish: apply under moisturizer for a luminous glow, or flip the order for a soft-focus, velvet look. Mix, match, and perfect with Skincolor de la Mer. Apply over your perfected canvas to create a translucent finish. Perfect your protection by blending The Perfecting Treatment with your SPF.
So far I like this...I like that it's not greasy and absorbs quickly....It spurts out only 1 blob at a time but it's enough for face and neck so I guess it's okay....Acid Fix has made my skin a lot brighter after using for only a couple of weeks.
A two-in-one nighttime antiaging treatment plus moisturizer featuring the power of retinol.
This treatment and nighttime moisturizer combines retinol with soothing botanicals to gently yet effectively help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and even out skin tone and texture for firmer, brighter, younger-looking skin.
Skin Laundry believes in using proven ingredients that produce visible results. Clinically proven retinol is the gold standard in antiaging and wrinkle-fighting. Soothing botanicals like shea butter gives you maximum antiaging benefits like tighter, brighter, smoother skin, without irritation.
Tip from the clinic: Even though it has retinol, Wrinkle Release Repair Treatment with Retinol is also super-moisturizing (thanks to sodium hyaluronate) and can be used as your nighttime moisturizer.
leaves my skin feeling AMAZING!!!!
An intensive age-defying treatment with three different growth factors; EGF, IL-1a, and KGF—naturally occurring in human skin—specifically formulated as a highly concentrated boost to regular anti-aging skincare.
From birth until adulthood, our bodies manufacture copious amounts of proteins called growth factors that communicate with cells, sending messages to repair, rejuvenate and so on. When we reach maturity, production of growth factors diminishes. As a result, cell turnover and repair slows, eventually affecting our appearance.
This triple-action age-defying treatment is BIOEFFECT's most potent formula and the first and only skincare product to contain three different types of growth factors that work together in harmony to maximize efficacy: IL-1a (interleukin 1A) increases skin's elasticity and maintains the skin's barrier function; KGF (Keratinocyte Growth Factor) increases density and visibly diminishes wrinkles and fine lines; and EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) supports the production of collagen and elastin as well as increasing the skin's capacity to store water. Increased potency means more profound results, making this unparalleled in skincare repair. It maximizes hydration, tone, and radiance while visibly minimizing wrinkles, pore size, and redness.
This treatment contains only nine ingredients; no preservatives or additives. The three small bottles, each containing a 10-day supply, are easy to carry, easy to transport, and easy to apply—morning and night. The barley-based growth factors are uniquely pure and grown in an ecologically-engineered greenhouse in Iceland with a negative CO² footprint.

PLAYER PROFILE: Anthony Brown
Share All sharing options for: PLAYER PROFILE: Anthony Brown
#2 / Guard / Washington St. Cougars
Year: freshman
Hometown: Spokane, WA
High School: Shadle Park
Major: Undecided
Anthony Brown is another in the line of long, athletic, and defensive-minded guards that Tony Bennett loved. He enjoyed great success in his high school career and was an all-state performer last season for Shadle Park. He was rated two stars by Scout.com and was not ranked among shooting guards. He was actually not evaluated by the recruiting service until he made his commitment to the Cougs.
His Scout.com profile says he is a good shooter, but most who have observed him says he still has some work to do to develop a consistent outside shot. Most likely he isn't Marcus Capers bad from the outside, by not Klay Thompson good either. It is clear that Tony was trying to replicate the defensive success he had with Kyle Weaver, and last season with Marcus Capers. Standing at 6'4" and weighing a Washington State frontline-esque 206, he appears to have the tools to do so.
Don't expect to see Anthony much this season. He looks as good a candidate as any to redshirt, especially with the depth WSU already has at the two guard position. Considering that, some might think he would be a possible transfer, opening up that extra scholarship Bone will need. That doesn't seem likely, as his mom is a Coug and he is very close to home. He is probably very happy to be here.
In the future, he should be a contributor if he is able to develop that outside shot or prove to be effective at getting to the rim. (The outside shot especially if he wants to crack a Ken Bone rotation.) He is one of those obvious Tony Bennett guys that will have to find a place to fit under the Ken Bone regime.

I wish to commend Steven and Margaret for the outstanding service we have received from them as agents. After a bad experience with another agency and months of no viewings, we relisted with Steven and Margaret and got a buyer on the first open home! They were extremely understanding and considerate of our situation and schedules, and we were most impressed with their efficiency and their proactive, positive attitude. Thank you so much for selling our house in such a stress-free, painless experience.
I have always felt that a testimonial is society's most powerful marketing tool. No matter how much advertising and promotion a business does, it always comes back to the overall customer experience, with that in mind, I offer this testimonial for Steven and Margaret who coordinated the sale of my property at 170 Wisely Road, West Harbor. Steven and Margaret conducted themselves in a professional and courteous manner. Whilst Margaret did establish the relationship it was Steven that I dealt with directly. I found both individual to be friendly, informative and helpful. All in all, a great job!
We enlisted Steven to sell our home in Massey, Auckland in Oct 2015. Steven did a great job for marketing our property and securing us a sale which we were very happy with. He spent the time to explain all the processes to us from advertising, the auction process and the final sale, so there were no `surprise' along the way. Steven stayed calm and optimistic even though the market was changing and was very reassuring even when we were getting stressed or worried. Steven was a great real estate agent and we would have no problems recommending him to anybody who wants to sell their properties.


On view now at the Museum of the City of New York Picturing Prestige: New York Portraits, 1700-1860 draws from the permanent collection and showcases some of the finest examples of early New York City portraiture. Early, in this case, means the late 18th and early 19th centuries when New York became a thriving, populous center of the still-young United States. Portraits were the most popular form of painting at the time, an important and prestigious chronicle of the wealthy and successful merchant class.
From a frame perspective the exhibition offers the opportunity to see some fine examples of late 18th Century carved and gilded frames as well as some fine examples of American frames typical of the 1840's. I recently walked through the exhibition with Dr. Bruce Weber, MCNY Curator of Painting and Sculpture and curator of the show; much of the information about the artists and sitters included here draws upon Bruce's knowledge and research.
As you enter, there are two remarkable groups of late-18th Century portraits; at left is a group of four portraits depicting two generations of the Marston-Phillipse family by English painter John Wollaston (1710-1775).
At right are four portraits of mother Sara Bogart Ray (Mrs. Richard Ray) and her three sons by John Durand (active 1766-1782). Little is known of Durand though historical material regarding the portraits indicates that the frames were made by Thomas Strachan, a British maker working in New York.
Sara Bogart Ray (Mrs. Richard Ray) and her three sons (Cornelius Ray, Richard Ray, Jr., and Robert Ray with dog) by John Durand (active 1766-1782).
The frames on the Wollaston and Ray portraits are different in design though both are not only carved, but also typify the British Rococo style popular during this time. Both expressions are light and delicate in appearance and include C-scrolls, S-scrolls and gadrooning. The Wollaston frames have a leafy primary section with gadrooning as a small accent at the sight edge and pierced carving at the corners and centers.
and exuberant yet delicate scrolls around the entire frame- with the exception of the corners and centers, which are accented by acanthus leaf flourishes.
It is remarkable that all these delicate frames have survived intact!
not unlike that of the intricate surface recutting seen in earlier 18th Century French Louis frames.
Detail showing surface recutting on an 18th century French Louis XV carved frame.
both echo Louis XV frames with swept sides, projecting corners and centers and lush floral embellishments. Typical of the ornamentation of 19th Century frames, all these motifs were molded and applied not intricately carved as were their 17th and 18th-century French predecessors.
These late 18th Century and 1840's frames are just highlights- there are a number of other excellent frames in the Museum of the City of New York exhibition- on view until September 18, 2016, it is well worth a visit.

Islamic Finance Institute Goes Global to Fill a Skills Void in $2 Trillion Industry
A Malaysian institute set up seven years ago to improve education standards for Islamic finance professionals is going global as it seeks to fill a void of experts with specialties such as insurance and law.
The Chartered Institute of Islamic Finance Professionals in Kuala Lumpur aims to increase membership of qualified practitioners to 3,000 in three years, from 400 now, Badlisyah Abdul Ghani, its president and former chief executive officer of CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd., said in an interview. The CIIF, which changed its name and geographical focus in 2015, is in talks with associations and regulators stretching from the Middle East to Indonesia as part of that campaign, he said.
The $2 trillion industry has long been plagued by a shortage of individuals who have studied beyond the prerequisite skill base and CIIF plans to start offering specialized courses next year to address the problem, which is hindering development, Badlisyah said. The Kuala Lumpur-based Finance Accreditation Agency estimates 56,000 more qualified experts will be needed to fill positions in the next five years as growth accelerates.
"There is a lack of accepted global standards for professional qualifications -- similar to accounting -- the absence of which has created differences in talent skills requirements across jurisdictions," said Daud Vicary Abdullah, CEO of the International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance in Kuala Lumpur. "The industry is still at a nascent stage where talent development and planning are concerned."
CIIF was formerly the Association of Chartered Islamic Finance Professionals, which was established in 2008 and whose intake was mainly graduates from Malaysia's INCEIF. The newly formed institute will help promote members globally and aims to provide a common standard of education acceptable in the various countries offering Shariah-compliant products, Badlisyah said.
The standards and codes of conduct issued by CIIF will be recognized and adopted under the Islamic Finance Profession Charter, which was signed by key Shariah-compliant associations in Malaysia, Badlisyah said. The guidelines will extend to other qualified leading organizations such as the Bahrain-based General Council for Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions and the Indonesian Syariah Banking Association if they sign up, he said, adding that they could eventually be made a requirement across the board.
Asset growth in an industry where interest payments are forbidden showcases the need for trained professionals, with the Kuala Lumpur-based International Shariah Research Academy forecasting a $3 trillion market by 2018.
Mandatory Programs
Sales of Islamic bonds known as sukuk, which scholars need to vet for conformity with religious laws, have climbed to above $45 billion in the past three years, compared with less than $10 billion a decade ago, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Takaful contributions, the equivalent of conventional insurance, are expected to reach $20 billion by 2017 from $14 billion in 2014, according to Ernst & Young LLP.
There's still a gap in the market for trained experts even as the range and selection of courses expands around the world. There are essentially two types of Shariah professionals, said Abdul Rahman Mohd Yusoff, head of the Shariah department at OCBC Al-Amin Bank Bhd. and also a CIIF member. There are those with a degree in pure Shariah law or Fiqh, or those with an equivalent degree in commercial and business aspects known as Muamalat, he said.
On the other hand, there also graduates with Bachelor's degrees in non-Islamic disciplines who supplement them with qualifications in Shariah-compliant finance such as Ph.D's or certificates from other accredited organizations, Abdul Rahman said.
"This makes the degree in Islamic finance an add-on rather than the primary one that will govern their future, lessening the pressure on them to go the extra mile to achieve the qualification," said Abdul Rahman at the Islamic unit of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp., Southeast Asia's second-biggest lender. "To address the shortage, it might be useful to make it mandatory for all staff handling Islamic finance products to sit for at least the certification courses.

Ethiopia PM asks diaspora to save 'a dollar a day' to support development projects
By Daniel Mumbere
Ethiopia's prime minister, Abiy Ahmed made a passionate appeal to the diaspora community to support the ongoing reforms in the country by establishing a 'Diaspora Trust Fund' that can reduce aid dependency facilitate investment in critical sectors of education and health.
Abiy made the proposal while defending the 346.9 billion Ethiopian birr ($12.71 billion) budget for 2018/19 on Friday.
''Diaspora, here is call to you! A dollar a day to help children get education, our brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers get health service, and above all, consider this as 'paying back' to your people who gave you future while they had no one.''
Diaspora, here is call to you! A dollar a day to help children get education, our brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers get health service, and above all, consider this as 'paying back' to your people who gave you future while they had no one.
HE PM Abiy Ahmed called for the establishment of Diaspora Trust Fund—that can be managed independently, which not only boosts saving&investment but can be used to support national collective initiatives.#Ethiopia hopes its patriotic diaspora community will heed this national call
— Fitsum Arega (@fitsumaregaa) 6 juillet 2018
Ethiopia's influential diaspora
Ethiopia's global diaspora is estimated to be two-million strong, with the highest numbers in the US, totaling anything from 250,000 up to about one million.
The foreign affairs ministry announced this week that Abiy would be visiting the United States at the end of July, explaining that the visit is aimed at boosting the involvement of all Ethiopian Diaspora in the ongoing reforms, development, and democratisation in their country of birth.
Government also recently demonstrated commitment to the diaspora community when cabinet approved the Amnesty Law that grants amnesty for individuals and groups, either under investigation or convicted on treason, crimes against the constitutional order and armed struggle.
The diaspora community was heavily invested in anti-government protests that raged on in Ethiopia since 2015, and culminated in the resignation of the former prime minister Hailemariam Desalegn.
As many activists and opposition politicians fled the country into exile, the diaspora played a key role in coordinating protests online as internet was blocked at home in Ethiopia, covering the protests through US based satelite channels and providing financial support.

Marc-Antoine-Gaston Larée dit Gaston Larée (né à Bordeaux le 6 décembre 1867, mort dans la même ville le 26 janvier 1940), est un peintre et décorateur français.

Biographie

Élève à l'école des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux de Jean-Albéric Dupuy, il entre en 1891 à l'école des Beaux-Arts de Paris et intègre l'atelier de Léon Bonnat. Il se présente une première fois au concours du Prix de Rome en 1893, sur le thème de Samson tournant sa meule, mais échoue. Il remporte finalement le concours en 1895 avec Le Christ mort pleuré par les saintes femmes (Paris, école nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts), et séjourne quatre ans à la Villa Médicis, entre 1895 et 1899. Il envoie chaque année un « envoi réglementaire » dont un Corps de saint Vincent défendu par un corbeau en 1896, Saint Laurent raconte au préfet de Rome les trésors de l'église en 1898, La Faute en 1899, et une Mort de saint Thomas Beckett en 1900. De retour à Paris, il expose au Salon de la Société des artistes français à partir de 1903 (son premier envoi est un simple portrait), et remporte une mention honorable au Salon de 1908. Installé à Bordeaux, il intègre en 1906 L'Atelier, association d'artistes girondins, et expose à leur Salon jusqu'en 1939. Il reçoit commande en 1921 de fresques représentant L'Apothéose de la Comédie, de la Danse et de la Musique pour la coupole du théâtre Femina à Bordeaux.

GamingLives is a portal for likeminded individuals to express their enthusiasm for gaming, and the effect that it has on them on a personal level. There are no roots in the gaming industry, no particular leanings or developers that have to be kept on side, and nobody to answer to, so this impartiality will serve to provide a sounding board without obligatory satiation. Put simply, GamingLives is a glimpse into the minds of individuals who spend a portion of their lives either playing games or thinking about games.
While there will be a core group of writers, we openly invite anyone to submit their work to us for inclusion on the site. All of the core writers have gamed together, spent time together and, while we are still small in number, we already have a strong sense of community. We have no preferences towards a particular console, platform or genre so feel free to submit anything gaming related. More information can be found here on our submissions page.
From what was nothing more than an idea in December 2009, GamingLives has grown to the point where the name has earned tremendous support and praise from a great number of highly respected individuals within the gaming industry.

Still there. Make sure you are in "Most Recent" and it is the 6th one down.
At this point I'm wondering if I should try and cancel my membership (about 10 months left to go), or just consider it a write off and stay away.
The facebook profile that says he is the armorer is legit. He changed the sight on my Sig P229.
I called. They are out of stock.
No, still there: (link removed) Possibly they blocked you?
I bought the 16" one. It wasn't clear on their site, but as EM says I think I still will need to get a BCG and a charging handle.
Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!
Given I see his account is now banned, I'd rank it as "Likely".
Anybody bought one of these and can give a review on quality? Thanks!
Got my hat today! Thanks RockIsland!

Q: Strogatz Exercise 8.5.3: Logistic equation and Poincarè maps I am going through  Strogatz's Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos and am stuck on one exercise from chapter 8 (exercise 8.5.3).
The first part of the problem says:

Consider the logistic equation $\dot{N} = r N (N - N/K(t))$, where the carrying capacity is positive, smooth and T-periodic in t.
a) Using a Poincaré map argument like that in the text, show that the system has at least one stable limit cycle of period T, contained in the strip $K_{min} \leq N \leq K_{max}$

My problem, I am afraid, lays in the base interpretation of the task.
I am expecting a 2D system, and instead I can only see one differential equation and one extra function ($F(t)$), for which I can't extrapolate any information about the derivative. I am baseically not able to draw the phase plane or sketch the vector field.
I am quite lost on how to start this exercise, but I would like to work on it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to interpret it?

The wife of an iconic Hollywood actor has just passed away. Steve Buscemi's wife, Jo Andres, has died at the age of 65.
Andres was married to Steve for over 30 years. She was a successful artist and worked as a filmmaker, choreographer and artist.
"Andres received acclaim for her 1996 film Black Kites, which played at several film festivals, including Sundance, Toronto and London. She also directed music and art videos, including her own performance works," reported People.
The couple has one son together, Lucian. He was born in 1990. The family was very close. Steve once did an interview in which he stated that his favorite work of art was "probably something by my wife Jo Andres."
"While Andres' cause of death is unclear, the couple was last photographed together in July at the after party for the film Puzzle in New York City, which Buscemi executive-produced," reported People.
At this time, Jo's cause of death has not been released. Please join us in praying for Steve and Lucian as they mourn her loss. We pray that God will bring them peace during this time of tragedy.


The Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon (Flemish nationalist) says that he watch with growing consternation as the violence during Sunday's Catalan independence referendum escalated. Mr Jambon told VRT News that he found the EU's silence on the issue strange as it is meant to be the defender of human rights in Europe.
In a reaction to comments made by his fellow Deputy Prime Minister, the Flemish liberal Alexander De Croo, Mr Jambon said that the Catalans' request for autonomy is not "nationalism gone mad".
"Over the past few days the Spanish Government has sent out signals and taken action that I couldn't place. However, I don't understand the reasoning behind yesterday's escalating violence. I think that the Spaniards have achieved the opposite of what they wanted. The sense of solidarity with the Catalans has only increased", Mr Jambon told VRT Radio 1.
On Sunday the Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel (Francophone liberal) was the first Head of Government to condemn the violence. Mr Jambon says that Mr Michel's reaction was flawless.
"You would expect that Europe would call Spain to book, and that a statement would be made". In the end it wasn't until 12 noon on Monday that the European Commission responded to Sunday's events.
Also speaking on VRT Radio 1's morning news and current affairs Programme 'De ochtend', the Flemish liberal Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said "Nationalism gone mad on both sides only makes it impossible to get round the table and its only there that progress can be made".
Mr Jambon responded by saying "Every ideology that goes mad is dangerous. However, this begs the question if the Catalans' desire for autonomy is an ideology gone mad. They have been trying to engage Spain in Dialogue. They even negotiated a constitution with Spain that was dismissed at the 11th hour. This isn't just something that has emerged from nothing, it is a process that has been going on for years", Mr Jambon added.

Donald F. McLean: Restoring Baird's Image (2000)
19 September 2013, dusan
Filed under book | Tags: · electricity, engineering, history of technology, image, phonograph, sound, technology, television, video, vision
Betty Bolton recorded in c1932 by engineer John Logie Baird in an early television experiment (GIF via Continuo Docs)
John Logie Baird, Britain's foremost television pioneer, experimented with video recording onto gramophone discs in the late 1920s. Though unsuccessful at the time, his experiments resulted in several videodiscs, some 25 years before the videotape recorder became practical. These videodiscs – called Phonovision – remained neglected over the decades, considered by experts as unplayable.
In the early 1980s, the author sought out and restored the surviving Phonovision discs. Using computer-based techniques in an investigation reminiscent of an archaeological dig, the author has not only revealed the images on the discs but also uncovered details of how the recordings were made. The Phonovision discs have now become recognised as one of Baird's most important legacies.
In 1996 and 1998, amateur 'off-air' recordings of the BBC's 30-line Television Service (1932–35) were found, giving us our first view of what viewers were then watching. The author's restoration overturns established views on mechanically scanned television, providing us today with a true measure of Britain's heritage of television programme-making before electronic television.
As well as helping to explain a poorly understood and complex period in television's history, this unique book, heavily illustrated with previously unpublished or rarely-seen historic photographs restored by the author, sheds light on the achievements of Baird, the development of video recording and the definition and invention of television itself.

Thomas P. Hughes: Networks of Power: Electrification in Western Society, 1880-1930 (1983)
Filed under book | Tags: · electricity, germany, history of technology, light, networks, politics, power, technology, united kingdom, united states
"A unique comparative history of the evolution of modern electric power systems. Networks of Power not only provides an accurate representation of large-scale technological change but also demonstrates that technology itself cannot be understood or directed unless placed in a cultural context. For Thomas Hughes, both the invention of the simplest devices (like the lightbulb itself) and the execution of the grandest schemes (such as harnessing the water power of the Bavarian Alps) fit into an overarching model of technological development. His narrative is an absorbing account of the creative genius, scientific achievements, engineering capabilities, managerial skills, and entrepreneurial risks behind one of the most commonplace amenities of the modern age." (from the back cover)
The book was awarded the Dexter Prize by the Society for the History of Technology.

"This unusual book traces the history of public and technical exhibitions, from their origins in the late 18th century to present day, and, particularly, how they have reflected the progress of science and technology (especially electrical technology). Not only does the author show how electrical innovation and manufacture have been presented to the wider public through this period, but he also shows how the exhibitions themselves have required technological advice. It is through this combination of roles that the importance of these exhibitions within scientific and technological advance can be understood."

For those of you who are curious, that share is now worth either slightly below $10 million or slightly above $10 million depending on the latest market fluctuations.
What I picked up from Buffett when I first came across this passage is the fact that volatility is not a proxy for risk. This is the mistake that 99% of new investors make, and if you reach a point in your life where you think solely in terms of business performance (and not stock price changes), the world is yours.
Charlie Munger, Buffett's right-hand man at Berkshire, is famous for saying that if you cannot handle the thought of a given stock falling 50% in price, you shouldn't be in the market. It's happened four times since Buffett and Munger took over Berkshire. Heck, it's even happened to an excellent business like Coca-Cola on at least three occasions since its 1920 IPO that I am aware of—there could be more. If you are thinking in terms of an investing lifetime (say, from your 20s through 80s), you should be prepared to see the paper net worth of your holdings fall by 50% on at least four different occasions over that time stretch.
But here is where things get interesting for long-term investors: if you think in terms of underlying business strength instead of volatility, things are much, much smoother. From 2008 to 2009, the stock price fell from $32 to $20. On paper, it looked like you saw a decline of around 40%. This is what scares people, causes them to sell low, and is the perfect strategy if you want to destroy years and years of wealth accumulation in a very short period of time.
If, however, you want to become one of those long-term investors that executes a buy-and-hold strategy that ends up becoming richer even through the passage of recessions and depressions, then I encourage you to focus on business performance. In 2008, Coca-Cola gushed out $1.51 in profits per share. In 2009, the company generated $1.47 in profits per share. We experienced the worst economic catastrophe since The Great Depression, and Coca-Cola's profits only declined $0.04 per share. That's practically a rounding error!
Oh, and the company managed to raise its dividend from $0.76 annually to $0.82 annually. This should come as no surprise. If you could go back in time to 2008 and 2009, you would still see people ordering Coca-Cola at McDonalds. You would still see them drinking Sprite at a restaurant. You will still see kids drinking Powerade on the sidelines of a basketball game. When you sell a well-branded, low-cost product in 207 countries that earns 30% returns on equity, you're going to be around for a long time.
There is a reason why Warren Buffett doesn't touch the 400,000,000 shares of Coca-Cola in his portfolio. The profits go up each year. The dividends go up each year. The company has well-protected and well-protected trademarks, and over 500 brands in its portfolio. Think about what your life starts to look like when you have a 500 share block of stock like that during your working life. You get a check every ninety days, and it goes up every year. Like clockwork. What's not to love?
There is a lot of wisdom in Buffett's quote listed above. Screw market volatility. Worrying about stock prices and sweating the changes on the ticker screen is what messes people up and destroys wealth in a hurry. Find the companies that generate gushers of profit even in terrible economic conditions, and spend your life acquiring shares of them. Then, you get a dividend check every ninety days. Once you own twenty to thirty of them, you will be getting money deposited into your account anywhere between 80 and 120 days per year. Twice a week, money could be flowing into your checking account. You get to construct your life how you want. Who cares about stock prices when you are getting cold, hard cash profits deposited into your checking account on a very regular basis? Why wouldn't you want to live like that?


……With the hindsight of the 2007 post election chaos fresh in our memories,we can't afford to blunder again as a nation in the forthcoming general election.And,with an impending general election forthcoming in a matter of days ……as Kenyan citizenry we do have a case to worry about …….The uncertain political times and the possibility of post election chaos.
Any general election in Kenya unfolds political uncertainities and rekindles bad moments which have engulfed our country after any election .The general election in Kenya acts as the devil within in our nation.
And,for a long time the ghosts of 2007/8 post election chaos will keep on haunting us forever.Any election that will be forthcoming will always rekindle and arouse those ghosts which engulfed our country in the year 2007/8 ,after the 2007 general election.It will forever go down in our history books as one of the bad moments we experienced as a nation.
In the year 2007 general election our country slipped into an abyss as we watched after a hotly contested elections in an already polarised country which saw the former President Kibaki been declared as the eventual winner.Raila Odinga disputed the results …..and,no sooner ……Kenya was burning.
The aftermath of the post election chaos was that almost 1200 Kenyans were killed,many others were seriously injured,thousands displaced from their homes…as wanton destruction of properties became the order of the days.
And,it is worth noting that prior to that 2007 general election the country was already polarised .The political class had poisoned the country by planting the seed of political intolerance that we sowed in the form of post election violence.They planted the seeds of tribalism,negative ethnicity and hatred using hate speeches as the catalyst so much that it backfired disastrously leading to post election violence.
But,since then ,a lot has passed under the bridge as the country metamorphosized politically,socially and economically.And,whether we healed and tolerated each other as a nation will be a discussion for another day.The pertinent issues that had made Kenya burn stalled along time ago and they haven't been addressed fully.
The war lords,political class and tribal chieftains who were responsible for igniting the 2007/8 post election chaos continues to ignite small fires un-abaited ,while not putting into consideration the negative repercussions it might precipitate thereafter.
And,to the contrary ,they should lead from the front ,when it comes to the healing of the nation.They should preach the gospel of cohesiveness among the different tribes so that they can accomodate and tolerate each other irrespective of their tribal and political inclinations.The language of our tribe and people shouldn't be in the Kenyan citizenry mindsets.
That's why with the forthcoming general election ,we must ponder and ask hard questions concerning the political destiny and certainty of our country in relation to the forthcoming general election.We must interrogate our modes of politicking ,and,our politics to see whether it binds Kenyans ,or,it makes them disintegrate.
We must hold the political class on their words and not give them any platform which they might use to provoke and propagate political uncertainty and intolerance among the Kenyan people.They must be made to understand that the unity of Kenyans is paramount compared to their selfish and parochial interests.
Methinks also that we don't learn from our past mistakes and experiences .We tend to circumvent to the same quagmire that holds us hostage of which makes us feel the pain.
A case in point is the usage of hate speeches by the political class to advance their political discourses.They use this poisonous political tool to propagate and sow the seed of discord among Kenyans so that they can infiltrate tribalism,negative ethnicity and political intolerance ….and,at the end of it,they can advance their political sojourn.
Most of them cast venomous aspersions and vituperations on each other in full knowledge that it will backfire…of which is the scar that keeps on haunting us.
« ……..The General Election…….The million dollar question…..Are we subjecting these political leaders through the necessary sieves to conform as it is enshrined and envisioned in Chapter 6 of the Constitution?…..

Q: On functions that are bounded by other certain functions I am trying to address a specific, but also rather abstract, problem, which briefly can be stated as follows:
Let $f$, $g$ be real-valued functions defined for all column vectors in $\Re^n$, i.e.,
$$
f,g:\Re^n \rightarrow \Re.
$$
It would be extremely desired to find a (family of) function(s) $g$ that is bounded as follows:
$$
0 \leq g(\mathbf{x}) \leq f(\mathbf{x}), \forall \mathbf{x}\in\Re^n.
$$
I am particularly interested in those cases for which $f$ is in the following form:
$$
f(\mathbf{x}) = K exp \left\{  -\frac{1}{2}\mathbf{x}^TA\mathbf{x}  \right\}
$$
I am not sure whether there's a feasible approach to do so or not, while I am not deeply familiarized with issues concerning function bounding.
Could anyone help?
Thanks a lot!

A: Obviously, if we select the $g$ functions to be of the following form
$$
g(\mathbf{x}) = \lambda
exp \left\{ -\frac{1}{2} \mathbf{x}^TA\mathbf{x}\right\},
$$
then
$$
0 \leq g(\mathbf{x}) \leq Kexp \left\{ -\frac{1}{2} \mathbf{x}^TA\mathbf{x}\right\} \Rightarrow
0 \leq \lambda \leq K,
$$
which I think is correct, but I would like to find something more sophisticated...
Anyone? Thanks!

I was a little stunned, watching my teen make her way through the crowd, pushing Zoe. My soon to be high school girl, was doing what she is supposed to do, growing up and letting me know that she is ready for more.
We spent a lot of time together during this summer of anticipation, forever marked by her transition into high school. These are just some of the things she taught me.
I want you to expect more from me, and then remind me I can do it.
High school teachers already know this truth, and that is why they come on so strong the first week of school, so parents, be prepared. Do our teens get overwhelmed? Sure, especially when everything is new and expectations are higher. Our teens are ready for more, but that doesn't mean they have the confidence to match. Create opportunities to build trust, pointing out small successes whenever possible.
I need to stay socially connected, so don't take my devices away, help me manage them instead.
Big things are happening in the world, and I still need to talk about them.
Most teens today get their news, both current events, and pop culture, through digital social media streams. We always watch the news together, but most breaking news my daughter sees first online and often when she is alone. It's important to discuss the big topics-especially the most significant, most powerful, sensitive and provocative issues in person, to make sure teens have a real sense of understanding and that you have addressed any concerns that may be troubling to them.
I still want to hang out with my family sometimes, even if I don't act like it.
Just because your teen looks comfy just hanging out in her room, doesn't mean she wants to be alone. In fact, it gets lonely. Once you get past the initial protests, laughter and good family fun will follow. Eventually, the resistance fades.
Your hugs and your touch can still make me feel better.
Let's face it, life is busy, sometimes family schedules can conflict and so much communication today takes place via technology. Our teens are walking around in these adult bodies, and sometimes we forget that they are still forging their way, trying to figure out how to de-stress and carry on conversations IRL. Teens are often touch deprived. When was the last time you hugged your teen, hung out on the couch sitting together or even held hands? Start slow, reintroducing affection to your daily routine, it is one of the fastest ways to reduce stress and boost both physical and emotional health.
Finally, expect tears. It won't be just your teen that is overwhelmed with the high school transition and navigating new opportunities for independence. Because as parents, we do all we can to prepare our kids for adulthood, pushing them out into the world, when sometimes what we really want is to still keep them close, just a little longer.
