THE DOPENESS OF DETROIT: PART 5
DETROIT ARTISTS MARKET
Serving as one of the oldest non-profit organization in the Midwest, the Detroit Artists Market was founded in the midst of the Great Depression in the 1930’s. The creation of this gallery came about when a group of local artists realized that local creators needed a place to produce and sell their work. The DAM is one of many galleries in Detroit that encourages a vibrant artistic community by exhibiting, selling and promoting the work of emerging and established artists. The DAM is known for hosting exhibits that are trendsetting and controversial, challenging the public perception of art. The DAM is currently celebrating their 80th anniversary! In celebration, they are hosting a special exhibition that focuses on their history and undying love and support of local artists and their craft. Check out the Detroit Artists Market’s Calendar for upcoming events and exhibits!

This blog is derived from the content that will be presented at the SAP for Utilities conference on September 14, 2015. Since the presentation is divided into three main headings, we will divide the content into three blogs starting with the good.
The good is based on technology advancements that we have seen over the last few years, including:
- The Internet of Things (IoT)
- Big Data
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)? In this acronym, a “Thing“ can be a person, an animal, an automobile or any other “thing” that can be assigned an IP address and has the ability to transfer data over a network. The Auto-ID Center at MIT highlighted the potential of the IoT. In their findings, they said “If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things – using data they gathered without any help from us – we would be able to track and count everything and greatly reduce waste, loss, and cost.”
In an article in Forbes (8/17) Bernard Marr listed three ways that the IoT will change businesses. He said it would:
- Allow companies to make smarter products
- Enable smarter business operations and smarter decisions
- Changes in their business model
How does the IoT accomplish this? This question leads us to “Big Data”? Big Data is a broad term that is used to identify large or complex data sets that cannot be processed by traditional tools. Big Data can also refer to advanced methods that can be used to extract value from data. This value can be in the form of increased operational efficiency, cost reductions (increased value), and reduced risk.
This is the value in “Big Data”- it can be used to gain intelligence and translate that into actions that will provide a company increased business advantage. A study by a team from MIT’s Center for Digital Business found that companies that were in the top third of their industry in the use of data driven decision making were 5% more productive and 6% more profitable than their competitors.
With all of this data being sent from all of these sensors, the amount of data is going to be “Big”, so how do we use it? This is where visualization comes in. Visualization refers to the way a message can be communicated. It may take the form of images, diagrams, or animations. So imagine a company collecting all of this data, from all of the sensors throughout their plants, displaying in such a way that it is actionable. Dashboards and real time process diagrams are but two examples.
So it can be seen that the IoT can provide almost limitless “Big Data”, which, when it is interpreted or processed can be transformed into information. This information, when audited against a rules engine and “visualized” can be transformed into knowledge. This allows the true value of all of the “Big Data” from the IoT to be realized.
While this is an interesting overview of the direction of where companies are headed, how does the “Good” overcome the “Bad”? This will be the topic of the next blog.

In the fight with chronic pain, we often say that we have tried everything. I recently heard an interview with a health guru who said that most of the people who say they have tried everything have not actually tried to include a regimen of anti-inflammatory foods and supplements, beyond over the counter NSAIDs. I instantly knew that I had been guilty of that very thing, and I still let my use of anti-inflammatory foods drift to the wayside from time to time. In an effort to help chronic pain sufferers, we have put together a list of common anti-inflammatory foods and spices that can help to combat inflammation. Most of these items you may already have on hand. Here is or list of the best anti-inflammatory foods.
This tea has become popular since it has become available in the US in the last few years. The rich polyphenol content of the tea has anti-inflammatory properties. Rooibos tea also boost the immune system which is a preventative step in avoiding inflammation in the body. You can read more about the health benefits of Rooibos tea HERE.
Turmeric is a rhizome (like ginger) and has loads of medicinal properties. Turmeric has a polyphenol called curcumin that has been found to be a more potent anti-inflammatory compound than aspirin or ibuprofen. Turmeric also helps to ease inflammation in the digestive system. You can read more about turmeric HERE.
Fresh garlic blocks the enzymes that allow bacterial and viral infections to take ahold of the body, and, in this way, can be an important tool in preventing inflammation. However, aged garlic supplements contain a unique mix of compounds that can both boost the body’s ability to fight inflammation and reduce chronic inflammation. To Read more about the health benefits of garlic click HERE.
Hemp seeds are an amazing source of Omega fatty acids and complete protein. They also are a rich source of polyphenols that are great at reducing inflammation in the body. To find out more about the benefit of hemp seeds click HERE.
Chia seeds have a wonderful blend of essential fatty acids (including omega 3 & 6), antioxidants, vitamins, & minerals. Chia seeds are great at reducing inflammation, even in those chronically inflamed places. Read more about their health benefits HERE.
Flax sees are a great source of amino acids, including omega 3 & 6. Flax has a general anti-inflammatory and antioxidant property, and is very useful to relieve cardiovascular inflammation. However, flax does not only relieve cardiovascular inflammation, but is useful for all types of inflammation. To read more about the health benefits of flax seeds click HERE.
Ginger is a medicinal power house. It boosts the immune system, and it has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger actually inhibits the body’s production of proteins that can cause inflammation and can therefore help chronic inflammation. For ideas of how to use ginger, and more information on its benefits, click HERE.
Oats are rich in polyphenols that are great at reducing inflammation. Oats are especially good at relieving inflammation related to skin irritation and itching, which is why you often see them in soaps and lotions. To read more about the benefits of oats click HERE.
Cocoa and dark chocolate contain a high concentration of flavanols that limit the production of pro-inflammatory proteins in the body. Flavanols are especially useful in reducing cardiovascular inflammation.
a diet rich in virgin coconut oil (VCO) can help to keep inflammation down in your body. The use of VCO in combination with Curcumin (found in turmeric) is even more effective at treating Inflammation. VCO is especially useful in treating inflammation related to skin abrasions. Read more about coconut oil HERE.
Green tea is loaded with polyphenols that are known to reduce inflammation. Green tea also is high in antioxidants and can improve brain function.

On Friday, Music and Other Drugs witnessed solo project, Tancred live at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tancred served as the opening act for Slothrust; however, her set proved that she could captivate an audience all on her own. Tancred’s set opened up with “Joey,” from her third album Out of the Garden. A majority of the songs performed were from her newest project Out of the Garden; Tancred also performed “Indiana, and “The Ring” from her 2013 self-titled album, Tancred.
Tancred possesses so much power, and it is clear in her life performance. Songs like “Pens” and “Sell My Head” from the album Out of the Garden” showcased Tancred’s range and ability to bring her music to life. One of our favorite moments of the night was when Tancred performed “The Ring” and “Hang Me.” She made you feel every moment, and captivated the audience from beginning to end. In May of this year, Tancred released a new song “Birthday Candles” which serves as a B-side, that packs a punch, especially when performed live. Tancred ended the night with the last track from her latest album, “Pretty Girls.” The show was high energy, and Tancred has proven to be a phenomenal live act. Check out Tancred on Audiotree Live below to get a feel for the rising rock star.


Our MK development department has developed a new, very effective and useful feature suitable for the coming warm season. The MK carbon brake cooling kit for the F8x M4/M3´s front axle steel brake. A carbon blade on the underbody transports cool air to the carbon dust protection plate via a flex hose, thus perfectly cooling the brake from the rear. This prevents the front axle brake from overheating. This kit is the perfect "must have" for all late brakers and trackday lovers.

Prices up in non-ferrous industries
by Brian R. Hook
It has been a rough year for non-ferrous scrap metal
recyclers, but executives on the front lines and experts
who track the industry both predict better times ahead.
“I feel that we are on a very slow upward trend and before
any of us realizes it we’ll all be singing ‘Happy Days
Are Here Again.’ It’s the nature of the cyclical beast,”
said Jeff Solomon, chief executive officer of Globe
Metal Recycling Services Inc.
“Since so many producers shut down high-cost capacity
in the face of low prices, there will be a shortage
of all types of materials by the third quarter of this
Volumes at the scrap metal dealer headquartered in Montreal,
Quebec, were down approximately 25 percent year-to-date
in August, Solomon said. Prices, meanwhile, have recovered
from the lows hit in the last quarter of 2008, but
the prices of non-ferrous scrap metal are still around
25 to 40 percent off of their highs.
The market for non-ferrous scrap is hurting the bottom
line at Sims Metal Management Ltd., the world’s largest
publicly-traded metals recycler, with operations in
North America, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe,
New Zealand and Asia.
“Prices are coming back a little, but volumes are
way down,” said Larry Snyder, executive vice president
for non-ferrous metals, based at the Company’s Chicago
offices. He said that he expects “slow improvement”
throughout this year and into next year.
The metals recycler reduced spending and headcount
to mitigate the impact of the global recession.
“With pricing and demand for scrap improving, and
subject to recovery in scrap generation, we believe
Sims Metal Management is poised for renewed growth,
success and shareholder value creation in fiscal
2010,” said Daniel Dienst, chief executive officer,
in a statement following the release of its fiscal
“We have maintained a strong balance sheet through
low gearing and we more than doubled cash flow from
operations in the past fiscal year, providing us
with the financial flexibility to further expand
our unrivaled global footprint,” he added.
Credit is still a problem for some metal recyclers,
said Bob Garino, director of commodities at the
Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. in
Washington D.C. The trade association represents
nearly 1,600 companies with more than 7,000 facilities.
“If you are in the Midwest, for example, it is not
that you can’t get scrap. Scrap is available,” Garino
said. “But you are going to have to make sure that
you can pay for it right away. Credit issues are
still affecting how scrap is moving to the consumers.”
Prices in the non-ferrous market may also be ahead
of fundamentals, Garino said. “There is probably
a fairly good argument that we are going to see
a pushback in commodities. I think the market is
a little ahead of itself, based on fundamentals.”
A lot of the influence on prices in the scrap metal
markets follows what is going on in China. If there
is less scrap being shipped to China, prices will
drop. “But I don’t see any of these metals testing
the lows that we saw in the first quarter,” Garino
Inventories, meanwhile, are at an all time low and
scrap shipments are increasing. “We are coming off
such a low base that the idea is that we will build
from these numbers. Whatever slack is closed by
lower Chinese buying and consumption will be mitigated
by an increase in what we are seeing in developed
nations,” Garino said.
Aluminum inventories, for example, totaled 266,500
tons at the end of July, or 42.5 percent below inventories
at the same time last year, according to the Metals
Service Center Institute. The trade association,
which represents the largest single group of metals
purchasers in North America, reports aluminum stocks
were equal to a 3-month supply.
“We are starting to see things begin to percolate,
a sign of a restocking cycle that is characteristic
of the first stages of recovery,” said John Mothersole,
a senior economist who tracks the non-ferrous markets
at IHS Global Insight Inc. in Washington D.C.
“I’m not going to say that it is anywhere near good.
But, I get the sense that the conditions are improving.
They are not great, they are not good, but they
While he expects prices in the non-ferrous scrap
metals markets to improve, he said the markets have
moved a bit ahead of fundamentals. “On a technical
basis they are over bought, therefore are ripe for
at least a temporary, modest pullback,” he said.
Mothersole said the base metal markets are a good
leading indicator for the larger economy by about
six months to a year. He said the prices in the
market are counting on a V-shaped recovery, where
the market drops fast and then returns quickly.
But he expects the recovery to resemble more of
a U-shaped, or possibly even a W profile.
“We have come off the floor fairly fast driven by
Asia, but we are likely to see the strength of the
rebound moderate a little bit over the next six
to eight months,” he said.
The cash prices for aluminum, for example, breached
$2,000 a metric ton in July on the London Metals
Exchange. Since there continues to be an increase
in visible inventories, according to research by
IHS Global Insight, the prices appear to be driven
largely by investor demand, which might suggest
a modest pullback in pricing.
Copper prices also increased from around $5,000
a metric ton at the start of July to over $6,000
a metric ton in early August. The forecasting firm
is predicting an average price of $5,602 a metric
ton in the third quarter and $5,875 for the fourth

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexplained death of a baby. It used to be known as ‘cot death’. While SIDS is rare, there are some simple steps you can take to reduce the risks:
- Always place your baby on their back to sleep, whether during the day or at night
- For the first six months, put your baby to sleep in a separate cot or Moses basket in the same room as you
- Check your baby has a clean, firm, flat, waterproof mattress that’s in good condition, and steer clear of soft or bulky bedding like pillows and quilts
- Avoid smoking during your pregnancy, and keep your baby in a smoke free environment.
- Breastfeed your baby if you can
Things to avoid
When you’re exhausted with a new baby it’s all too easy to drop off with the baby on your chest or lying next to you. But, sleeping with your baby on a sofa or armchair greatly increases the risks of SIDS, so get in the habit of putting your baby down to sleep in their cot or Moses basket.
If you’re feeling extremely tired (and which new mum isn’t?!) or if you smoke, have been drinking or have taken drugs or medication that makes you drowsy, don’t sleep in the same bed as your baby. Avoid sharing a bed if your baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks) or had a low birth weight (less than 2.5 kg /5 lbs).
Don’t let your baby get too hot. Every baby’s different, so you’ll need to check on them regularly to make sure they’re comfortable. A room temperature of 16 – 20°C with light bedding or a lightweight, well-fitting baby sleeping bag is best. Babies don’t need to wear hats indoors.
Lie your baby down at the foot of the cot so they can’t wriggle down under blankets. Tuck blankets around them firmly, no higher than their shoulders so their head and face is uncovered.

Audrey Caroline McGraw
Everything about celebrity children piques the interest of the media and fans, and the concerns should be amplified if both parents are Grammy Award winners. Audrey Caroline McGraw is the youngest of three daughters born to Tim McGraw, an American singer-actor, and Faith Hill, a singer-record producer. Since their marriage in 1996, they have been together for more than three decades.
Aside from the glare of her parents’ celebrity, Audrey pursued a professional career as a model.
Audrey Caroline McGraw Was Born Prematurely, What Is Her Age and Height?
Audrey was born on December 6, 2001, in Nashville, Tennessee, and is of American descent. McGraw is 20 years old and stands 5 feet 8 inches tall as of 2021.
She was born early at 7 and a half weeks of pregnancy, according to reports. Audrey had to spend a few weeks in the NICU at Baptist Hospital in Nashville as a result. She returned a few days before Christmas, so it’s no surprise that the McGraw family decorated Christmas trees on December 6 to commemorate her triumphant return.
Audrey Faith is the name of her maternal grandmother.
Early Years and Family
Audrey Caroline McGraw is the youngest of three daughters of Tim McGraw, a singer-actor, and Faith Hill, a singer-record producer. She is the granddaughter of Frank Edwin “Tug” McGraw Jr., a former Major League Baseball player (paternal grandfather).
Gracie Katherine McGraw (born May 5, 1997) and Maggie Elizabeth McGraw were her two elder sisters (born on August 12, 1998). Both of them have grown up and are now pursuing their own jobs. Gracie is an actor, while Maggie, the middle child, is a vocalist and Stanford University graduate with a Master’s degree.
She graduated from Nashville’s Ensworth High School in 2020 at the age of 18. Audrey then relocated to Los Angeles to study acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are her parents.
Audrey Caroline’s father and mother are both country music legends. Tim McGraw (born Samuel Timothy McGraw; May 1, 1967) is a three-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter with over 80 million albums sold across the world. He has appeared in films such as The Blind Side, Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom, Tomorrowland, Four Christmases, and The Shack, as well as Country Strong as an actor.
Audrey’s mother, Faith Hill (born Audrey Faith Perry; September 21, 1967), is a five-time Grammy Award-winning country musician and record producer who wrote songs like “Breath,” “Let’s Make Love (feat. Tim McGraw),” “Cry,” and “Like We Never Loved at All (feat. Tim McGraw).”
Audrey Caroline McGraw Is Known For What?
Obviously, being a famous child is a simple solution for her celebrity. Audrey Caroline McGraw, on the other hand, wants to make a reputation for herself as a model. She is currently working with Tory Burch, a designer fashion label, and is frequently featured in their advertising campaigns.
McGraw, on the other hand, possesses the major musical talent, which is most likely a bloodline trait; she is proficient in both piano and singing. She sang her cover of Dixie Chick’s “Travellin’ Soldier” onstage at the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion before her father’s act when she was 12 years old.
Audrey’s mother Faith Hill also shared a throwback of Audrey singing when she was five years old on her 19th birthday.
Audrey Caroline McGraw Is She Dating Anyone?
Audrey Caroline McGraw is now dating. Zach Troost, an American model, is her boyfriend’s name. On his Instagram account, Troost, who goes by the handle @zachtroost, describes himself as a music producer, videographer, and photographer.
McGraw is also a model, so it’s possible that they met on the same platform and fell in love. They made their romance official on Instagram in May 2021, and both of them uploaded photos of each other on their accounts.
Audrey is a frequent Instagram user, with a total of 25k followers as of 2021 on her account @audreymcgraw.

It's a matter of letting them [the players] know what it means when you come to the end of the season, what the Premier League and Champions League means to this club.
Now they're here, they have to feel the pressure and they are feeling it right now. That's why we just want to keep doing well and now they're starting to understand that we don't want to get beaten.
We just want to keep going and hopefully come the end of the season they will start to show the winning mentality even more that the manager is trying to install into them and we go on from there and win trophies.

It’s been a couple of months since the share of the second Official Trailer for the soon to open computer animated feature “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse”, and if you were sleeping in that day and missed it, please click HERE because I want you to be on point about this one as best as possible. The film features the Miles Morales Spider-Man who is a super hot comic book character at the moment and it was cool to see Sony Pictures giving him the chance to shine. As you know, Sony holds the license for the Marvel Comics property and has begun to build their own Spider-Verse with this feature and most recently “Venom” (which was a live-action film). To help celebrate the opening of the film, I’ve culled together a number of the promotional posters that I found on assorted film mediums. I’ll start with the teaser poster and close us out with the Official Theatrical one. Now, check them out….and by all means enjoy.
Well my friends, the moment has arrived and Venom will be taking over the big screen in this Sony Pictures release (in association with Marvel Entertainment) for the film that bears his name – “VENOM”. Are you excited about this? I’ll offer up my thoughts after you glean the Official poster along with the premise and casting down below.
It was only a few months ago that we got the first official trailer for “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” and with NY Comic Con right around the corner, I expect a second clip to manifest during the event. Fortunately, fans of the Miles Morales Spidey will not have to wait that long as the second official trailer has been released and is presented to you down below. Let’s watch…
The fans in attendance at the recent Comic Con International: San Diego were fortunate enough to get to see the second trailer for the upcoming Sony Pictures “Venom” feature but the rest of us had to wait until today when this was officially a public release. Let’s take a look and I will chime in afterwards.
It’s so far a pretty mundane Wednesday despite it being New Comic Book Day for the fans of the medium and that makes the freshly released full trailer for Sony Animations “Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse” a welcome thing. Let’s take a look.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought response of the Centre and the Election Commission on a plea seeking stay on the electoral bond scheme meant for funding political parties.
The top court, however, refused to grant an interim stay on the electoral bond scheme. A bench comprising Chief Justice S A Bobde and justices B R Gavai and Surya Kant asked the Centre and the Election Commission to file their responses within two weeks to the interim application filed by NGO ‘Association for Democratic Reforms’ for staying the scheme.
Lawyer Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the NGO, alleged that the scheme is a means for channelising unaccounted black money in favour of the ruing party.
Bhushan also referred to a document of the RBI while seeking stay of the scheme. “We will see that. We are listing it after two weeks,” the bench said.
Senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, appearing for the EC, said all these arguments have already been advanced earlier and sought four weeks time to reply to the plea of the NGO against the scheme.

When I went to college, I often wondered if I would still get in the Christmas spirit. When holiday decorations started going up November 1st (yes, that early!), I knew that Christmas would not be forgotten and we would create our own holiday spirit in the dorm.
My friends and hall mates went all out and it was so fun. The rooms were full of fake fireplaces, our doors decorated to perfection, and Mariah Carey Christmas album blaring through the hallways (don't worry though, I included some really easy dorm Christmas decorations if you don't want to go too crazy ;).
This post shows you 15 really cute dorm Christmas decorations that you can copy for your own dorm room.
DORM ROOM CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS:
1. Add Christmas Pillows
Order some cheap christmas pillows and swap them out with your normal pillows. This little change will instantly make your room feel more festive.
I love this idea because you can reuse the pillows for years and years instead of some other christmas dorm decorations that only get used for one year.
Tip: Looking to save some money? See if you can just put a pillow cover over pillows you already have! Most decorative pillows can be unzipped and then you can just swap out the cover for really cheap. I know people do this a lot for different holidays!
2. Decorate your door.
This is a really popular Christmas dorm decor!
My friends went all out decorating their door and even included their pictures on it as elves.
There are all kinds of inspiration pictures on Pinterest to get your mind thinking of ways you could decorate your own door.
An easy way to do this is to buy some cute wrapping paper (Target has the BEST!) and tape it to your door. Finish it off with a cute wreath and you're good to go.
3. Hang Ornaments in Window
This is a really easy dorm Christmas decoration that makes a big impact!
Purchase a set of cheap Christmas ornaments and attach them to some string. You can also get an expensive garland and then attach the ornaments to that in the window.
Just like that you've instantly brought the holidays spirit in.
4. Build a DIY fireplace.
How fun is this Christmas decoration for a dorm?!
My current roommates actually made this in their dorm room last year and it looked SO good. I wish I had a good picture of it because it changed the whole feeling of the room and made it feel so much cozier!
They had stockings for everyone and everything.
If you are wondering where to find paper to do this, check out the art department of your school. I can almost guarantee you they will have the large rolls of white paper you can use from. It might be harder to find the red construction paper but you can find that at Michaels or even Amazon.
5. Make a Christmas tree out of lights.
Recreate this Christmas Dorm Room Decor:
This is the perfect christmas tree for a dorm.
Get some some string lights and with the help of command hooks design it in the shape of a christmas tree. You're done!
6. Make a Photo Collage Wall Christmas Tree
How cute is this christmas dorm DIY idea?!
All you have to do is stick up some of your favorite photos in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Finish it off with string lights and you've got a really cute christmas decor (that honestly could be up year round if you take the lights off)!
7. Christmas Banner
Recreate this Christmas Dorm Room Decor:
Adding a Christmas banner is one of the easiest way to spruce up a dorm room for Christmas.
I love this one because it adds just the right amount of spice for a college student.
There are SO many funny christmas banners but you can find this one in the picture here.
8. Decorate hallway with lights.
This would be so fun to have a hallway turned into a winter light wonderland.
I don't exactly know if this would have been allowed in my dorm hall, but if you can let it fly and can get people to join in with you to do this, it would look SO cool!!
9. Decorate a small Christmas tree.
I am in love with this mini Christmas tree!!
This is the perfect size try for a dorm room and completely brings in the Christmas dorm room feel.
This tree comes in SO many different colors so if green isn't your thing, there will be some color you like.
10. Decorate your fridge.
This is an easy one and is such a cute dorm christmas decorations!
Turn your boring (and ugly) fridge into a snow man. Dorm fridges are really close in size to the ice maker (? not really sure what it is) so you easily could replicate that look with some construction paper and double sided tape.
11. Make a wreath out of red solo cups.
Can you get more college christmas decor than this?! I'm thinking no.
Not only is this super easy, but pretty darn perfect for hanging on your door. Just get red solo cups and hot glue them together. Finish it up with a bow and you're done!
12. Make Christmas wall art.
How fun is this?
Wrap up some canvases and you've got a really cute christmas wall decor piece!
I personally would pick cuter wrapping paper and bows to make it more "trendy".
13. Use candy canes as Christmas decor.
On top of being a delicious Christmas dessert, candy canes are a perfect cheap ways to decorate a dorm for christmas.
Get some cute ribbon and hang it from your blinds in the dorm.
14. Get special star lights.
I want these lights SO bad.
Stars are really popular this year and also make a perfect mild Christmas statement.
15. Make a beer Santa sleigh.
Of course, I have to finish these Christmas dorm decorations with this idea!
I have to give credit to whoever came up with this idea, it is very clever!
16. Give your door some holiday spirit.
I love making sure that every part of my room is decorated for the holiday season but I especially focus on the areas that the most amount of people will see!
Decorating your dorm door for Christmas is the main thing people will see so make it cute!
This post showed you 15 Christmas dorm ideas to copy this year.

The Case for Cameras
No enthusiasm for document or PTZ cameras? Maybe you’ve been looking
at the wrong angles.
When discussing the technology needs of a classroom, be careful about mentioning
the word “camera”—it always requires further qualification.
To non-technical people, “camera” can mean any type of electronic
device that isn’t a computer, and which resides in a classroom. But here
are some thoughts on two specific types of legitimate cameras increasingly found
in today’s classrooms:
The concept is simple: This is a camera that looks down at whatever you put
under it; the video image is then sent to a monitor, codec, and/or projector
for viewing by a larger group. Sounds like a godsend, right? Yet, educational
users are mixed on their assessment of the usefulness of document cameras. Some
point to the prevalence of computer-based presentations and cite low actual
usage of existing document cameras to justify not placing them in new or renovated
classrooms. But others like the flexibility of being able to display nearly
anything to students both local and remote, and the ability to replace the venerable
overhead projector as a convenient tool for annotation and real-time, pen-based
interaction. These are the folks who want document cameras in every room.
Two categories. All current document cameras fall into one of two general categories:
those with low resolution output (composite and/or S-video) and those with high-resolution
output (1024x768 or higher). Many negative feelings people have about the use
of document cameras stem from the use of low-resolution devices, which often
deliver fuzzy, incomprehensible text when viewed on a large screen or through
When evaluating document cameras, here’s what you should be considering:
Resolution. Ideally, document camera resolution should
match the native resolution of your other display device(s). Having an SXGA
(1280x1024) signal going to your XGA (1024x768) projector is no better than
having an XGA signal from the document camera. Unless an application is video-only—with
no high resolution display anywhere in the system (and unlikely to ever be added)—I
normally recommend some type of high-resolution document camera over the low-resolution
types. The cost difference is not very much, and the difference in image quality
is immediately apparent.
Refresh rate. Not especially important when looking
at static images (such as a document), refresh rate is very important if the
instructor will be annotating on the page (as in the overhead projector replacement
scenario). The specified frame rate refers to the number of times per second
the screen is updated. Units with a low rate (less than 20 fps) will prove unsatisfactory
for instructors who like to annotate or frequently move the object underneath
the camera. For this style of document camera usage, a refresh rate of 20 fps
or greater is desirable, and 30 fps is considered ideal.
Zoom lens. Often touted as an upsell by manufacturers,
this specification matters much less than you may initially assume. If the instructor
needs to zoom in on small details of a document or a 3D object, then the greater
the zoom ratio, the better. But if the camera is being used primarily to present
text or graphics in the context of a full-size page, then the zoom ratio is
Form factor. Document cameras come in all shapes,
sizes, and mounting locations—from the portable and the full-size, to
the ceiling-mounted. Three ceiling-mounted options are especially worthy of
mention: The Wolfvision (www.wolfvision.com)
VZ-C12 ($12,960 MSRP) has a 16x optical zoom, lens and projects a light field
onto the flat surface below, both to provide added illumination for the subject
and to indicate to the user the extent of the zoom (the light is synchronized
with the zoom lens). The Elmo (www.elmousa.com)
HV-C1000XG ($9,995 MSRP) has a 12x optical zoom lens and a downward-shining
light, but the light is not controlled or synced to the lens, which can create
glare issues at a podium. The Vaddio (www.vaddio.com)
CeilingVIEW Mega-Pro Visualizer ($6,995 MSRP) d'es not offer a supplemental
light, but d'es have a trigger-able laser dot for aiming its 12x optical zoom
lens, based on a native 16:9 3-CCD Sony camera. Plenum above-ceiling housings
for a clean installed look (one of the main reasons for using ceiling-mounted
document cameras in fixed installations) are available from Display Devices
for the WolfVision camera, and from Elmo for its own camera, and the Vaddio
camera comes in its own plenum-rated back-can.
Refresh rate is a very important consideration, if the instructor will be annotating
on the page.
Price. WolfVision is known as the most expensive
brand, with some models above $20,000. But do your homework: Full-size models
VZ-8plus and VZ-8light are surprisingly affordable for many applications. Elmo
and Samsung Techwin (www.samsungtechwin.com)
offer high-performance products with mid-range prices, and several manufacturers
(such as Lumens; www.mylumens.com)
offer products at the low end of the price spectrum. One caveat when considering
document cameras at the budget end of the scale: Features found on more expensive
models are often left off, so if you are buying a document camera for $1,500
expecting to find a video output in addition to the XGA output, be sure to check
the specification sheet first.
Small, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras offer a high-performance and low-cost alternative
to using security cameras (CCTV) and broadcast-quality camera systems in classroom
distance-learning, recording, and streaming applications. While new models have
largely replaced the old standbys—Sony (bssc.sel.sony.com)
EVI-D30 and Canon (www.canonusa.com)
VCC3 have improved incrementally in terms of lens zoom and other specs—the real
story is found in control over the cameras.
The new standard PTZ cameras include Sony’s EVI-D70 (18x maximum zoom
vs. 12x for the EVI-D30), EVI-D100 (65-degree maximum horizontal field of view
vs. 48 degrees for the EVI-D30), and BRC-300 (3-CCD instead of 1-CCD and various
options for connectivity including fiber with remote CCU); Canon’s VC-C50i
(26x optical zoom); and Elmo’s PTC-100S (22x optical zoom).
Options. Some options for controlling non-IP cameras:
- Sony offers the RM-BR300 joystick controller ($1,500 MSRP), which can control
up to seven cameras, each with up to 16 presets available.
- Telemetrics (www.telemetricsinc.com)
makes control panels for each of the standard PTZ camera models, including
for Sony, Canon, and Elmo. The CP-ITV series ($1,175 MSRP) controls up to
four cameras with four recallable presets per camera.
- Vaddio’s ProductionVIEW ($4,995 MSRP) controls up to six cameras
with up to 12 presets per camera, but also has a 7x2 switch and built-in LCD
preview for doing (cuts-only) production switching. All sources are synced
internally to prevent glitches.
Vaddio’s new TrackVIEW system will, at least on paper, track an instructor
automatically as he moves around in the front of a room, without relying on
him to hit preset buttons or touch switches or sensors built into the environment.
TrackVIEW uses a dual camera arrangement: one for watching the front of a classroom,
the other for following the instructor. The price for a TrackVIEW package varies
depending on the tracking camera; all systems use a Sony EVI-D70 as the reference
camera, but packages range from $7,495 MSRP for the Sony EVI-D100 as the tracking
camera, to $12,995 MSRP with the Sony BRC-300 camera as the tracking camera.
Once I’ve seen it in action, I’ll let you know how well theory has


text: These pieces were inspired by scholars' stones. They are special stones that are created by nature and selected by the artist. I attempted to copy this idea by creating masses of ceramic materials that could not be designed in the traditional sense. I would mix up glaze into a paste and bury a mass of it in various refractory materials. As a form was created, it was being buried, so I was unable to truly know the form of the stone until it was fired and solidified. Upon excavating the stone from the refractory materials, I would meditate on the stones. From here, I would consider what the meaning of the stone was and what it made me feel. Traditionally, scholars' stones have a one of a kind wooden base that is created for the stone and are given a title. I replaced the wooden base with various items to help support the stone and would give the viewer some information on what the title means. With this work, I was hoping to dig as deeply into my own psyche as possible and to make myself vulnerable. With so little information given to the viewer, they are unable to fully know the whole story or exactly what I was referencing, and that element of mystery and lack of context gives the pieces an energy. The pieces are also dependent on a precarious balance, and that tension is a critical element in to stones.


MGM Hits the Jackpot: National Harbor Chosen as Location for P.G. County Casino
Joshua Garner | 12/20/2013, 12:17 p.m. | Updated on 12/23/2013, 3 p.m.
“I still think traffic is going to be a challenge for us,” said Prince George’s Councilman Obie Patterson (D-Dist. 8) of Fort Washington, whose district includes National Harbor. “I’m complaining about traffic too. I think some of those things are already being discussed.”
County officials said they are reviewing options to improve roadways along Route 210 and Oxon Hill Road. Funding has already been allocated for an interchange near the intersection of Kerby Hill Road and Route 210.
Brad Frome, deputy chief of staff for County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D), said that revenues from slot machines at the casino would contribute as much as $9 million annually toward roadway improvements. The county could use those funds to help leverage additional funding to build more interchanges along Route 210, which cost about $100 million per section, he said.
And figuring out how to improve roadways is a good thing, Baker, 55, said – more development in certain areas gives county and state officials more reason to allocate funding for transportation improvements.
“What we have now is the ability to capture revenue in Prince George’s County and Maryland,” he said. “[MGM] knows how to build quality gaming facilities and quality hotels. They have a site that’s unlike anything on the East Coast.”

MY PRIVATE NOTES

JOIN THE CONVERSATION
Easy to prepare and make. Loved that this dish contained zucchini. We thought the cheese and breadcrumbs needed to be a little more evenly distributed (they were the best part!) so that each bite was as flavorful as the top bites. DH wonders if everything were mixed together (meat-loaf style) whether that would have accomplished what we were looking for. Thanks for posting this dish.Reply
Super(b), Chia! The rather simple-looking ingredients list camouflages an excellent and attractive dish. I baked this in a deep-dish glass pie pan, and having cut my zucchini not-too-thick and not-too-thin, I had exactly the right amount of slices to lay them nicely in two layers in the dish (purely luck, I'm sure!); patted the veal mixture out evenly between the two with my hands and mine was nicely brown in around 25 minutes. Held together perfectly. Served with mashed potatoes drizzled with truffle oil (another trick I learned from you, Chia) and had a top-class meal. My husband's only complaint was that it should have a better name than "Veal Pie", something to let everyone know how marvelous it is :) Will certainly do this again and probably also as first course too. Thanks for posting this gem!Reply

Amstaffs are very athletic dogs and need to be fed a healthy diet full of protein and carbohydrates. This dog food contains proteins and amino acids essential for building the dog’s body. Amstaffs also need carbohydrates to help them grow. Carbohydrates are found in grains, legumes, sweet potatoes in grain-free versions. Look for whole grains and fish oil in the first few ingredients list.
Among the best dog foods for Amstaffs is Ziwi Peak Lamb Grain-Free. The limited ingredient formula is better for sensitive dogs because it contains only the most essential nutrients. The protein is sourced from New Zealand, which has a high amino acid profile and encourages strong muscles. Added to the food are green mussels, which are a natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin. These two nutrients help to support the health of the heart, eyes, and immune system.
American Staffordshire terriers need a high-quality, balanced diet. Among the best dry dog food brands for Amstaffs, Canidae All Life Stages is grain-free, limited-ingredient food. These grain-free foods are packed with protein from whole meat sources and contain added taurine for heart health. You should be sure to read the label before buying dog food.
Amstaffs are social creatures who love to spend time outdoors. They need shade during summer and a covered shelter in winter. For this reason, they should be regularly groomed. Besides keeping their nails and ears clean, they should also be bathed. The eyelids should be washed during every bath, but not too far as the tip of their ear. A clean Amstaff’s eyelids should remain bright and open.
The American Staffordshire Terrier is a powerful breed, with incredibly strong jaws. It would destroy things in its environment if it wasn’t exercised. Consequently, an Amstaff needs vigorous exercise on a regular basis. Because of this, Amstaffs should be socialized with other family pets. Early socialization is ideal for a happy family with multiple pets. If you are looking to purchase a new dog, it’s best to start socialization before the dog arrives home.
An important consideration when selecting a food is protein. A staffy’s nutritional needs vary according to age, weight, and activity level. A specialized formula may be the best choice. The goal is to provide enough protein for the Staffy to grow and stay healthy. A balanced diet should include 20-30% protein and eight percent fat. If this is not possible, then a raw food diet is a good alternative.Similar Posts:

Two games, no goal. The defense network around goalie Alexander Kofler can be satisfied with the first two games in the new year – if it weren’t for zero in the front too. 180 goalless minutes have already passed in the Lavanttal Arena. It is difficult for the players to explain exactly why nobody hits the front. “We conceded too many goals in the autumn and therefore put a lot of emphasis on the defense in the preparation. It looks good there at the moment. The bottom line is that two points from two games are not enough “says Kofler.
The midfielder probably had the greatest chance against Hartberg Sven Sprangler, who after a Taferner shot the ricochet unrestrained by the already beaten Hartberg goalie Rene Swete could head into the goal and put the ball on the crossbar. “That’s my responsibility. Unfortunately, I let the team down in that situation, ”said Sprangler after the game. But not just him, too Matthäus TafernerSwete got the ball off his feet or captain Michael Liendl have missed top chances per head. “Normally the Liendi does it in his sleep,” says Trainer Ferdinand Feldhofer.
You don’t just have to see the two zero numbers as negative. Playing to zero if you don’t score a goal is also a sign of quality, according to the coach. The team is far from brooding or even panicking. “I’m not worried because we always get top-class opportunities. The luck we need will come back.”, predicts Feldhofer.
The WAC will continue its home game against LASK on Wednesday. The kick-off is at 8.30 p.m. Not exactly the most pleasant time in January.

Harry Potter Reunion 2022
The Harry Potter films launched The Wizarding World franchise, which includes books, films, video games, theme parks, plays, and more, extending the Harry Potter sensation throughout the world and ensuring the Harry Potter legacy lives on. A prequel series dubbed Fantastic Beasts is slated to release the third film in the series, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, in 2022, while a sequel titled Harry Potter and The Cursed Child was adapted into an award-winning play. Last month, it was reported that the original ensemble would reunite for an HBO Max special in 2022 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the first film. Check out the harry potter reunion first look below.
Rowling, who has been criticized for recent social media comments, is noticeably absent from the Harry Potter special, leaving the reunion without its creator unless her attendance is kept under wraps. So far, the author has written the scripts for the Fantastic Beasts trilogy, with Harry Potter screenwriter Steve Kloves coming in to help Rowling with the most recent attempt. HBO Max was also recently confirmed to be working on a Harry Potter series for the streaming service, though no information on what it would include or who would be involved has been revealed.
The Harry Potter series, based on J.K. Rowling’s books, became the third-highest earning franchise of all time, making more than $7.7 billion worldwide.
Harry Potter has become as popular as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel at this point, and HBO Max is smart to capitalize on that popularity. Owning the IP and having the ability to expand on it is another thing entirely, which should be a top priority for WB and HBO Max. The announcement of a new series coming to the streamer is a smart move, but hopefully, it’s something that fans will want (more Harry Potter), rather than something they don’t (less Fantastic Beasts). Spinoffs and prequels can be great for any studio IP, but oftentimes those projects can veer too far away from what makes them special, creating something unrecognizable to the original property.
Watch the Harry Potter Reunion Trailer below.

Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne are Planning to Move back to the UK
Ozzy Osbourne is a well-known English musician who is also involved in the songwriting and television industries. Also, his second wife, Sharon Osbourne, is a well-known actress and producer. And Ozzy has stated that he intends to move back to the United Kingdom with his wife Sharon because he “doesn’t want to die in crazy America.” He made this announcement recently.
Seventy-three-year-old Ozzy Osbourne, a legendary figure in rock music, recently stated that he is “fed up” with gun violence in the United States and intends to relocate permanently to England with his wife.
In a conversation, Osbourne stated that he had plans to sell his property in Hancock Park, located in Los Angeles, California, and relocate to a 350-acre estate in southeast England by the beginning of February.
The musician for the metal band stated that he was leaving the United States because “everything is insane” there. “I’ve had it up to this with people getting slaughtered daily.”
Osbourne stated that he did not want to “die” in the United States and that it was time for him to return to his native country. He went on to add that God alone knows how many people have been shot in school shootings.
According to recent sources, Osbourne has put his home in Hancock Park, located in Los Angeles, on the market for $18 million. Osbourne was born in the area surrounding Birmingham, England. Moreover, he announced in March that he would be moving to his estate in Buckinghamshire because of the high taxes in California.
Also, Osbourne is dealing with various health problems, including Parkinson’s disease. This past summer, he was a patient in a medical procedure.
However, Ozzy & Sharon have an excellent relationship. And Osbourne’s wife stated that her choice to relocate is unrelated to her husband’s health. She said that “America has changed so significantly. There is nothing specific to the United States of America in it. Nothing about it can be considered unified. It is a strange time to be living there now.”
The investigations into former President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the constitutional right to abortion that had been in place for almost half a century, have brought extreme divisiveness to the forefront.
After helping to establish Black Sabbath as a band in 1968 and succeeding with his solo work, Osbourne is recognized as a trailblazer in the rock and metal music industries.
The singer’s new album, Patient Number 9, is scheduled to be released on September 9 and features other musical icons, including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society, and the late Taylor Hawkins, who was the drummer for the Foo Fighters.

Local Hospital Trying To Curb Temptation Of Sugary Treats
The selection of food and drink served at Logan Regional Hospital is pretty typical—entrees, chips, yogurt, granola, chocolate milk and juice. But some things are gradually disappearing.
Lance Frazier, communication specialist for Intermountain Healthcare in Logan Utah, said visitors are welcome to bring their own sugary treats into the hospital but they will no longer be sold here.
“We’re in the process right now of removing all the sugared drinks and candy from our vending machines, from the cafeteria, from the pharmacies," Frazier said. "Everyplace that those were sold here in the hospital."
He said despite a few complaints, staff members have been accepting for the most part.
While some visitors think the new policy is too extreme, Don Barton, a regular visitor to the hospital, thinks if falls short.
“The thing that kind of amazes me…is they’ve taken all the sugar drinks out, which we don’t drink anyway," he said. "[Yet] every Wednesday they produce those sugar bomb sweet rolls and pecan rolls that are beyond unhealthy.”
The research is not new. In fact Intermountain’s very own Live Well program has been touting healthy eating, including low sugar, for nearly a decade.
So, why now? Frazier said reasons for the change include a switch in leadership and emulating other hospitals.
“Our new CEO, Mark Harrison is definitely a very active person who participates in triathlons [and] lives the lifestyle that we’re trying to encourage," Frazier said. "And we’re not the only hospital to have done this. The Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, [and] some of the large providers across the country have also made this step.”
But Frazier said the most important reason is health. And the Intermountain coverage area of Utah and Southern Idaho include 100,000 people who are potentially sick.
“[They] have diabetes or prediabetes and many of them don’t even know that. Of course sugar, and these added sugars are a major component in developing that disease,” he said.
Robin Aufdencamp, director of food and nutrition services for Intermountain, echoed the same concern for diabetes prevention.
“Prediabetes is when you have conditions that are leading you towards acquiring or having diabetes—type 2 diabetes," she said. "So, a person could be a little bit overweight, their blood sugars are sometimes out of control, or a little bit high. And all of the indications are pointing towards [a high likelihood of acquiring] type 2 diabetes if they keep going on the same track they are on.”
Aufdencamp said, once a patient is diagnosed with diabetes, the change in lifestyle can be difficult. Some people are in denial, while other people are excited to change.
“Some people in that situation want to jump onboard and say ok, tell me what I need to do," she said. "I’m ready to change because I don’t want to have all of these complications later on and I want to live a long and healthy life and be active.”
What’s the best medicine? Aufdencamp said, monitor your sugar intake. Follow advice from the American Heart Association. Consume no more than six teaspoons of added sugar per day for women and children, nine teaspoons for men.
One 16-ounce bottle of soda, by the way, has about ten teaspoons of sugar.


The A2918SWH and A2918SWV motor drivers are designed to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor or bidirectionally
control two dc motors. All bridges are capable of sustaining 45 V and include internal pulse-width modulation (PWM) control of the
output current to 1.5 A.
For PWM current control, the maximum output current is determined by the user’s selection of a reference voltage and sensing
resistor. A PHASE input to each bridge determines load current direction. Active low ENABLE inputs control the four drivers in each bridge.
The bridges include both ground clamp and flyback diodes for protection against inductive transients. Internally generated delays
prevent cross-over currents when switching current direction. Special power-up sequencing is not required. Thermal protection circuitry
disables the outputs if the chip temperature exceeds safe operating limits.

Madison Reed, a prestige brand challenging the hair color industry, brings its unique hair-color-only concept – the Madison Reed Color Bar – to North Texas with the opening of three locations:
- Plano in The Shops at Legacy (Opened Aug. 22)
- Fort Worth in the Trinity Commons (Opening Sept. 19)
- Southlake in Southlake Town Square (Opening Oct. 10)
The Color Bar concept is designed to deliver stunning salon-quality hair color that is both affordable and convenient for time-pressed women. For only $55 – less than half the cost of a salon visit – clients can get permanent color applied by a certified, licensed colorist. Or, for just $25, clients can get a color-reviving gloss that provides color and shine for up to eight washes.
“Dallas is an incredible beauty and hair market,” said Amy Errett, CEO and founder of Madison Reed. “In our online business, we have a large number of subscribers who live in Texas, and they have been asking for us to open Color Bars near them, in places where they live and work. So that was the idea behind these three locations, but you’ll see us in other places around Dallas-Fort Worth. This is just the start.”
San Francisco-based Madison Reed was first known for disrupting at-home hair color, typically sold in boxes found on drugstore shelves:
- Since the company’s launch in 2014, hundreds of thousands of women have been able to go online, buy Madison Reed’s salon-quality color, and have it shipped directly to their door.
- Madison Reed’s proprietary formula is free of the eight harsh ingredients commonly used by other brands, including PPD, ammonia, parabens, resorcinol, phthalates, gluten, SLS and titanium dioxide.
- Madison Reed uses technology – including a proprietary algorithm that extracts data from 10 million “hair profiles,” as well as an augmented reality (AR) tool – to help women find their perfect shade of hair color.
Now Madison Reed is disrupting the salon industry. At Color Bars, gone is the typical salon secrecy surrounding how color is mixed: Clients can buy the exact color formula and products that were just used on their hair. They can also get free color consultations – both of which are industry firsts.
The hours of operation for all three locations are:
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Thursday and Friday: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Sunday: Noon to 5 p.m.
