National Park Mockup Case study
Utah is home to 5 large national parks, and I was assigned to create a mock-up of what an app could look like for one of them. It needed to be something that engaged and informed the users and provided a better experience. Having visited some of these parks, I excitedly went to work. With this energy, I ran headfirst and full throttle into my first mistake.
The design process
Every year my wife’s family takes a trip to southern Utah. We spend about a week exploring and relaxing in the winding branches of Lake Powell. Having had experience with this area, I began plotting out ways I could make the experience better. Ideas rushed to my head as I paced around the kitchen table and within two hours I had a complete list of the content and structure of the app. Pleased with my work, I called up my wife to talk about my ideas and show off the work I had done. She informed me that I was an idiot and that I was about 100miles off. In my excitement, I mixed up Bryce Canyon with Glen Canyon (where Lake Powell is). Square one again.
I managed to recuperate and chose an ACTUAL national park; even one that I had been to previously. I settled with Zion National Park and began work again. Fortunately, not all was lost and a lot of my objectives and Ideas carried over. I began with refining my goals, this way I could avoid feature creep and not have to worry about bloating the app with too many pages. It also helped to keep me focused since time was not something I had a large quantity of. I decided that my main goals would be removing some of the hassle and frustration of figuring out what to do while at these parks.
With my objective in mind, I moved on to how I wanted the app to look and feel. Zion is home to some very vibrant and bold colors and I wanted some of that for the app. I pulled up some images of the area and began picking colors from it till I found some that I liked and matched the tone. I wanted the typography to have the same sort of bold, adventurous feel as well so I headed over to google fonts and began to browse. I finally landed on using the display font lobster for headers and Montserrat for legibility.
One of the main things you need while down in these parks is a map. I wanted this to be one of the main portions of the app with a lot of the app based around it. I just couldn’t find one that was super easy to read and understand. So photoshop time it was! I began by removing the elevation and geography from the map. My end goal was to have something that you could look at, and know how to get around the park quickly. This meant making the roads and trails easily visible. I removed a lot of the distracting colors as well so I could add my own to simulate “traffic” and made the font a lighter shade so it wouldn’t draw your attention too much. I was pretty pleased with the end result even if it was only about half of the park, it was still enough to get the idea across.
Another error I made along the way was I wished I had consolidated all of the information beforehand. This would have made it easier to figure out which data was useless for the design beforehand instead of by the end. For instance, on the hiking page of the app, there is a whole line for if the trail is dog friendly. On the Zion website, they have this in their data as well so I assumed that it would be important and thought It was a pretty cool idea to let people know. In my design, I left a space for it underneath each trial. It was only the first trail that was pet friendly.
A challenge I have in my designs is using color. I’m not color blind or anything but I just naturally gravitate back to grayscale. I try to dabble in it but I just always think it doesn’t look right and revert back to black and white with a splash of color here and there. Seeing as how I set out to reflect the bold colors of the area in my design, I tried to push myself into using it more.
I didn’t want the prototype to be just a stiff set of images, I also wanted to play around with the interactivity. XD states are now some of my favorite things. If you’re unfamiliar, in adobe XD you can make an element into a component. By doing this it allows you to copy it over and over again and when you edit the master, you edit all of them. A bonus to the components is that you can assign them different states. Once a new state is designed, you can use the prototyping tool and set interactions to link the two together. This is how I added my hamburger menu and the toggleable buttons in settings. I also played around with XD’s new-to-me feature of scrollable groups. I was able to pull off the map by adding a large image with all of the icons inside a horizontal and vertical scroll group and got it to work like how you think a map would work.
On the home screen, I wanted the layout to be useful and make the three main pages(map, hiking, and activities) easily accessible. I also wanted some cool, immersive features that would better help with the engagement of the park right front and center. This is where the weather and feed are located. With the live feed, the idea would be that you could receive notifications if there was bad weather incoming, bus delays, some sort of emergency warning system, and even deals with the lodge and other shops in the area. I tried to treat both of these as not being too intrusive. The weather is in a small icon in the top left and the notifications can be swept away and are mostly transparent. The idea was to have the background image and navigation because people are visiting to look at how pretty nature is and this app should help enhance the experience, not get in the way. For the background, The image would change out periodically similar to the Window’s lock screen, and a little icon allowing you to see where in the park the picture was taken.
I divided the pages up into two groups. The main three and the secondary pages. The main three would be the main content that people would be getting on to see and the secondary would receive far less traffic but still be needed. I divided the app into this structure:
Main: Hiking, Map, and Activities
Secondary: About, Places to eat, and settings
I figure the largest reason people would be using this app would be to figure out A.) What to do and B.) How to get there and chose the top 3 to reflect that decision. While designing all of these pages, I really strived to make them feel uniform and part of the same app, while still looking visually different enough that you could tell what page you were on without looking at the title. It was a bit of a challenge but one that I think I accomplished.
How would you design the app if you were given this prompt? What would your thought process be compared to mine? You can check out the interactive design here and see what you would do differently and what we would do the same.


Elmbridge Council’s planning committee decided to defer the decision on a Rosemary Simmons Memorial Housing Association (RSMHA) application for Imber Cross earlier this month.
The group wants the council’s east area planning sub-committee to reconsider its decision to recommend the refusal of planning permission at a meeting last month.
Wendy Pridmore, chief executive of the RSMHA, said: “We are very pleased with this decision and we are sure that we can meet all of the requirements.
“Officers did recommend that we should be granted planning permission on all technical grounds and, although there was some debate that we didn’t meet these grounds, we actually did.”
RSMHA applied in February to build 28 flats in two blocks of two- and three-storey homes, along with car parking on the site between the Vera Fletcher Hall and the railway line.
The association insisted that it had decided to make the application because of a surplus of sheltered housing.
“There was a surplus of sheltered accommodation in 2000 and that remains the case now,” said Ms Pridmore. “There is a lot of work going on in Elmbridge and Surrey to try to cater for the preferences of elderly people and what they want.
“As an organisation, we are acutely aware of that. When the original buildings were put up at Imber Cross, it was at a time when things were totally different.
“People’s expectations were not the same as they are now. Everyone expects to live longer and be healthier these days. People do not expect to live in a small bedsit.
“What tends to happen now is that people stay in their own homes as long as possible. The days when you have many years when you need looking after are not around now. It is not what people want.
“There is a need for sheltered accommodation, but not in the same way as it was 30 years ago. Imber Cross is the poorest accommodation we have.”
All the tenants of the scheme have gradually moved out over the past decade, due to the low standard of living in the bedsits on-site.
Objections to the plans at last month’s sub-committee meeting were led by Cllr Ruth Lyon, who criticised the lack of amenity space allocated in the plans and insisted the site remain in its current capacity.
“I suggest that we have a site that is absolutely ideal for the purpose it has been used for for the last 40 years — looking after our elderly people,” she said.
“It is next door to the Embe r Centre, next door to the railway station, beside a bus stop and it is literally 10 minutes slow walk to Thames Ditton High Street. This is the best location for our elderly people and it should be retained. There is no alternative provision made in the plans and it does not reflect the characteristics of the area.
“What we have in front of us is 28 flats and no significant play area on-site. We have received something very unsatisfactory and, if we approve it, there is nothing to stop this application being developed.
“That would mean the end of housing for elderly people on the site and we should not allow that to happen.”

Derrick Leon Davis is slated to be sworn in Tuesday as Prince George’s newest county council member and could quickly provide pivotal support for County Executive Rushern L. Baker’s legislative goals.
Davis, 43, of Mitchellville, replaces Leslie Johnson, who is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in a federal corruption probe.
The new council member has spent much of his career working in public education and hopes to play in efforts to improve the county’s struggling public school system, one of Baker’s targets for reform. Baker and Davis have long been aligned in county politics, and Baker threw his support to Davis early in the 14-way Democratic primary.
Before Davis can tackle school system issues, he will be confronted with a measure that some supporters say could help the county increase funding for the system.
A week after he takes office, the council is slated to have a marathon session to vote on pending legislation before taking several weeks off. One of the most divisive issues on the agenda is abill that would use the county’s zoning power to ban slot machine gambling. Penn National Gaming, which recently bought Rosecroft Raceway, wants to bring slots there, and several powerful Maryland politicians, including State Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert), have been pressuring county officials to oppose the ban.
Davis said he will vote against the measure, proposed by County Council member Eric Olson (D-College Park), because it is “premature,” a phrase that Baker also employs to explain his reluctance to back Olson’s bill.
Davis might provide the tie-breaker to kill the bill; for now Olson only has four certain votes. Baker, who opposed slots while in the General Assembly, said doing so now would tie his hands in negotiations with state leaders for funds for Prince George’s projects, such as a new hospital and more money for schools.
And while, like Baker, slot machine gambling is not Davis’s first choice for new sources of tax revenue, he said the county needs to look at all the options.
Lawmakers are always on the hunt for funds for Prince George’s public schools. The county is under a voter-imposed tax cap and has a school budget significantly smaller than that of neighboring Montgomery County, even though it has only about 10,000 fewer students.
Davis said he wants to put more money into early childhood education, reduce teacher turnover and find ways to attract and retain “the best and the brightest.” In successful school systems, he said, turnover is limited. The county school system is ranked among the lowest in achievement in the state, although it has made gains in recent years.
Before he takes office, Davis is making the rounds of community leaders and religious leaders in his mid-county District 6, which stretches from struggling areas inside the Beltway to affluent gated communities in the east. Despite her legal troubles, Johnson maintained a high profile during her seven months in office and her predecessor, Council member Sam Dean, also had been very active in the community during his eight years on the council.
Davis said he doubts the county will ever have all the money it wants to help pay for the schools, whose current budget is about $1.6 billion, compared to about $2.3 billion in Montgomery County. The County Council sets the budget for the county and the school system, but specific spending plans are devised by the elected school board.
So he said he is urging local religious leaders to “talk to the people who come to church every Sunday,” and encourage them to take a greater role in their children’s education, study habits and preparation for school.
“We need to prepare every child for high academic achievement,” Davis said. “Every day we need to send them into the classroom ready to go.”

Rudolf Steiner attended with a number of students and presented a series of lectures to a small circle of friends, mostly society members. At the time of these lectures, most members viewed Theosophy as a kind of Europeanized Indian philosophy. He carefully connected the essence of spiritual science to the role of the Christ in human evolution, as well as to the Rosicrucian and Christian mystery traditions, the primary carriers of the esoteric Christian stream.

Steiner to expand and enhance their specific vocations in very practical ways, e. More on the way!! This is Rudolf Steiner's fundamental philosophical work, a phenomenological presentation that begins with ordinary thinking, then forges a pathway to the practice and experience of living thinking. It's hard to know where to focus my enthusiasm for this volume: whether to rest it upon Michael Howard's extensive introduction over pages to the world of Rudolf Steiner's expression of the visual arts or upon the ten seminal lectures by Steiner himself, touching as they do upon everything from the nature of aesthetics to the specifics of painting, sculpture, architecture and more.
Perhaps the best I can say is that if you've ever wondered or wanted to know more about the artistic impulse behind Anthroposophic art, this is the ideal place to begin your journey. It's hard for me to imagine anyone regretting it.
In many ways, Rudolf Steiner is the forgotten genius of recent times. A powerful thinker, who developed an intricate spiritual philosophy based on his ability to research and perceive spiritual dimensions, Steiner is perhaps best known today for his legacy to education, medicine and agriculture. But behind these practical manifestations of his ideas lies a profound teaching, which he termed a science of spirit, or anthroposophy. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his earlier philosophical principles into an approach to methodical research of psychological and spiritual phenomena.
How to Know Higher Worlds: A Modern Path of Initiation
His multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, philosophy, religion, education Waldorf schools , special education the Camphill movement , economics, agriculture biodynamics , science, architecture, and the arts drama, speech and eurythmy. In he founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which has branches throughout the world. It shows how Steiner's thought and work developed year by year and provides background to his various books, lectures, artistic achievements, and activities.
At the same time, the reader is enabled to glimpse the man himself, the unique personality who founded anthroposophy and whose influence is still increasing seventy-five years after his death. Enclose terms in double quotes "example" to search for an exact phrase or title. Steiner in this important work becomes a teacher, a counselor, and a friend whose advice is practical, clear, and effective.
The challenges we face in life require increasingly deeper levels of understanding, and Steiner's text helps readers to cultivate the capacities for such insights and places them at the service of humanity. This is Steiner's most essential guide to the modern path of initiation he advocated throughout his life. It has been translated into many languages and has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers around the world. How to Know Higher Worlds has been admired by some of the most brilliant minds of our time. It is one of the best ways I know for opening up one's life to the spiritual realms in a manner that is balanced, integrated, and loving.

The Reds’ win over Queens Park Rangers – coupled with United’s third successive defeat at home to West Brom – has given Brendan Rodgers’ side renewed hope in the race for fourth place.
Liverpool find themselves four points adrift of United with three games remaining and Lallana believes that gap can be bridged.
United travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday before playing Arsenal (home) and Hull City (home) in their last two fixtures.
The England midfielder is convinced Louis van Gaal’s men will drop further points but he says Liverpool must ensure they take advantage by finishing the campaign with a flourish.
The Reds face champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday with Palace visiting Anfield before the final day showdown at Stoke.
“It’s not over yet,” Lallana told the ECHO.
“We can still finish in the top four but we need to take maximum points now. We’ll keep fighting right to the end. We all know what can happen.
“United have some tough games to play and I am sure they will drop more points.
“We have to put pressure on United by going to Stamford Bridge and getting three points. Pressure is a tough thing to deal with.
“We need to beat Chelsea and Palace and hope it all comes down to the final weekend.”
We want to go to Stamford Bridge and spoil the party
Rodgers has confirmed that Liverpool will give Chelsea a guard of honour before kick-off and Lallana has no issues with carrying out that tradition,
However, he says that’s where the pleasantries will end. The Reds need to inflict a first home league defeat on the Londoners since Sunderland’s triumph in April 2014.
“We have to use it as motivation,” Lallana said.
“Chelsea deserve to be champions. The table doesn’t lie. They have been the best team throughout the season.
“You have to respect that, whether you like it or not.
“All I know is we want to go there and spoil the party. We’re looking to go there and cause an upset and put a dent in their celebrations.
“We all knew that last week was a big week and it was disappointing to only get four points out of the games against West Brom, Hull and QPR.
“We would have been right on their toes, if not ahead of United, if we had performed better. But we still have a chance and everyone believes fourth place is still possible.
“We have to concentrate on ourselves and look to take maximum points from our three remaining matches.”
Lallana made his first start for six weeks in Saturday’s 2-1 win over QPR after overcoming a niggling groin problem.
Injuries have hampered his progress since last summer’s £24million move from Southampton but he believes next season will be different,
“It’s been really frustrating,” he said.
“I never really got going and there was no consistency in my form.
“We’ve had a couple of tough spells as a team this season but when you have hard times together, you come out of it in a better place and I believe that will happen here.
“All the new players are going to be better for the experiences of this season. The pressure is always on at a club like Liverpool and everyone has seen that this year.
“It will be a big pre-season for me to ensure I get fit and stay fit. We need a much better start to next season.
"I’m desperate to do well here and contribute as much as I can.”

Thanks to advanced tile making and printing techniques, you can now purchase ceramic or porcelain tiles that both look and feel like real wood – without the expense and upkeep!
Hardwood Looking Tile Flooring:
Mixing different styles and colors can give you a great effect that looks unique and would be hard, if not impossible, to recreate using reclaimed wood.
The weathered look is achieved using new digital imaging and ink-jet printing techniques. This makes it look like it has been weathered by the elements.
In high traffic zones, you could think of using herringbone wood like porcelain tiles which look both stylish and are hard-wearing.
For a more traditional design, you could look at using wood like tiles in a parquet pattern.
To make a space look bigger, think about using different sized wood look tiles.
For a more industrial design type look, think about using pale grey wood like tiles of the same size. These can add a classy touch to an industrial space.
In the bathroom, large wood grain porcelain tiles can look great so head down to your local tile store and get creative!
Some designers are even daring to use wood like tiles as both floor and wall tiles to create an expansive space from floor to ceiling…

“NCIS: Hawai’i” lead actress Vanessa Lachey has seen a lot of success across season one of the franchise’s latest spinoff. In fact, “NCIS: Hawai’i,” as well as the rest of the “NCIS” universe, has been renewed for another season. However, while she’s regularly expressed love for her role as Special Agent Jane Tennant, her “NCIS: Hawai’i” costars, and the fans that have ensured the show’s success, Vanessa Lachey recently revealed she wasn’t quite in love with her husband Nick Lachey’s boy band 98 Degrees when it was big in the late ’90s.
On Monday, Nick and Vanessa Lachey made an appearance on “The Ellen Show,” which featured guest host, tWitch. The famous couple covered a variety of topics. Several included their new life in Hawai’i, the “NCIS: Hawai’i” star’s status as a role model, and her and her husband’s hosting gigs. Soon though, they found their way to the topic of Nick’s former band, 98 Degrees.
“Were you a 98 Degrees fan back in the day?” tWitch asked the series star.
Squirming in her seat, she playfully teases both Nick and the audience with her reluctance to answer the question.
Eventually, she admits, “No, I was not a 98 Degrees fan,” though she said, in defense, “but that’s not because I didn’t love your music, I was an NSYNC fan.”
Her husband poked fun at her lack of knowledge regarding NSYNC’s number of members. But the couple seems to be in a good place. Aside from “NCIS: Hawai’i,” Nick and Vanessa Lachey have taken to screens together hosting the new Netflix series, “The Ultimatum.”
When to Tune in to the ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ Two-Part Finale
Last month, the cast of “NCIS” and “NCIS: Hawai’i” shared an exciting crossover event. The crossover actually resulted in a major bump in ratings for the latter series. However, even more thrilling is that, while the current seasons of the “NCIS” franchise will soon come to a close at the end of the month, fans can look forward to an all-new two-part finale to conclude Vanessa Lachey’s first season as “NCIS: Hawai’i” lead character.
The season finale of both “NCIS” and “NCIS: Hawai’i” airs on Monday, May 23rd. Fans can catch both shows during their usual timeslots at 9 and 10 p.m. But because the season one finale of the rookie series features a two-parter, we can expect an especially captivating storyline.
IMDb provided the synopsis for the second part of the two-part “NCIS: Hawai’i” finale, revealing the title of the final episode, “Ohana.” So far, all we know is that part one is entitled “Switchback.”
As to the final episode, “Captian Millius continues to work with Tennant and her team in the aftermath of the prisoner exchange between U.S. and Eastern Europe. Also, Whistler takes Ernie’s advice and makes a grand gesture in the hope of winning back Lucy.”
The two-part finale of “NCIS: Hawai’i” kicks off on Monday, May 16th, concluding for season one on the 23rd.

A report by the US State Department’s watchdog says its Africa Bureau is not doing enough to ensure funding in Somalia isn’t siphoned off by terror group al-Shabaab. 66 million dollars have been paid out by the United States as cash stipends to members of the Somali National Army over the last 7 years. But a State Department official told CGTN that there is “no indication” that any US funds benefited al-Shabaab. CGTN’s Giles Gibson has more from Washington.

All Hazards Booklet
(96 Pages) [9.6 MB]
This All-Hazard booklet was developed as a resource for citizens of rural agricultural communities –individuals, farmers and producers, businesses –with the hope of raising awareness of the natural and man-made threats to these communities and their commodities. These threats can include natural disaster situations (e.g., floods, tornadoes); biological emergencies (e.g., pandemic flu, food safety recalls) and man-made or technological threats (e.g., bio-or agro-terrorism, agrochemical situations).
The booklet is divided into 4 sections:
Sections containing National and State contacts as well as sources for additional information are also provided.
Each section contains an overview of the particular hazard and several informational handouts. The handouts are presented in a check list format to help guide individuals in rural communities in preparing for a particular hazard before it occurs, during the event, and recovering from the situation.

The summer shellfish seasons are in full swing throughout the Pacific Northwest, and that means many will be bringing home a batch of oysters to prepare for a tasty meal or simply eating them on the beach.
Seattle chef and restaurateur Tom Douglas will contribute some of his tasty cooking advice and recipes for the Reel Time Fishing NW blog in our Catch of the Week each Wednesday through October. Catch of the Day will also include recipes from other local chefs, tackle shop owners and fish-market owners.
Douglas is owner of Lola, Palace Kitchen, Dahlia Lounge, Dahlia Bakery, Etta’s, Serious Pie Downtown, Seatown, Brave Horse Tavern, Cuoco, Serious Biscuit and Serious Pie Westlake. Another new Douglas restaurant that just opened is Tanaka San at the Via6 Apartment Complex in downtown Seattle.
Here are some suggestions by Chef Tom Douglas on how to “wow” your friends and family at the dining table:
Thanks to the abundance of shellfish in Puget Sound, Washington State is the largest oyster producer in the country. Oysters, such as Dabobs, Quilcenes, Westcotts, and Willapas to name just a few, are often named after the place they are harvested. The tiny Olympia oyster, steely tasting and sweet, is a Northwest native.
Kumamotos, which sit plump and lush in their deeply scooped shells, are farmed from Japanese seed. To best enjoy the briny, sweet, and mineral flavors of these oysters, shuck and serve them raw on the half shell, nestled into a bed of crushed ice.
Pacific oysters, which originated in Japan but were brought to Puget Sound in the 1920’s, are big meaty oysters that are delicious raw but are also delightful broiled over a campfire until the shells pop open -at which time you can slip in a pat of herb butter, or fried in seasoned flour and stuffed into a split baguette smeared with pickle-y tartar sauce.
To shuck oysters, you’ll need an oyster knife, a handy tool with a sturdy handle and a short rigid blade which you can pick up for about ten bucks in a kitchenware shop or fish market. A quick trip online will yield any number of videos and slide shows with step-by-step instructions on how to shuck an oyster. The important thing is to take your time. Don’t try to rush or you may cut into the oyster or, dare I say, your hand.
When training a young cook on how to shuck, I like to say, “Don’t wake them up! They should still be sleeping.” Also watch for bits of shell or debris. It’s important that your shucked oyster is clean and pristine.
My favorite mignonette sauce for raw oysters is the one I came up with for my seafood joint, Etta’s– rice wine vinegar, minced shallots, freshly ground black pepper, a dash of fish sauce, and a dash of zippy Tabasco sauce.
When frying oysters, I like to dredge them in seasoned flour first. Coating oysters in a mixture of cornmeal and all-purpose flour spiced up with cayenne, paprika, ancho chile powder, salt, pepper and celery seeds then sautéing them in whole butter is one of my favorite ways to go.
Another idea is to grind your own five spice mix of equal parts of fennel seed, cinnamon, and Szechuan peppercorns plus a smaller quantity of cloves and star anise. Use this spice mix generously, adding some kosher or sea salt, to season your flour.
Dredge the oysters in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then fry in a hot pan with a thin layer of peanut oil until the oysters have firmed up and are golden brown on both sides.
Drain the oysters on paper towels and serve immediately with a lime wedge and Chinese chili paste.

Spider-Man far from home review; Peter Parker has come back with lots of actions again as a Spidey.
Spider-Man far from home is the latest MCU movie after the Avengers Endgame movie. Tom Holland & Zendaya are thundering the big screens in the cinema this week. Directed by Jon Watts (who also directed Spider-Man Homing 2017), released on July/4/2019. This movie is the second chapter in the latest live-action Spider-Man second reboot. It is a Fantasy/Sci-fi movie. Far from home is a very good movie and it’s an interesting time for Spider-Man fans because we got to see Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio in Spider-Man movie and lots of crazy stuff in the film.
Spider-Man Far from home without spoiler review
Peter Parker has come back with lots of action scenes in the Far from home. The action of the film is so mind-blowing & outstanding. Every action scene is incredible and marvellous. The movie has an unstoppable fighting sequence which is enough to perk up your excitement. When I was watching it’, totally overwhelmed to see the fighting and action scenes. It seems that the filmmaker has added all Spider-Man franchise-best actions into this movie. Spider-Man Far for home film has several emotional scenes. You know guys that we lost Iron-Man in Endgame and Peter misses Iron-Man too much in the film! He is exhausted to Tony Stark’s death. That was a very emotional scene which makes the movie very special.
Spider-Man is just not the movies and comic books character. We have a special space in our heart for Spider-Man. Great powers come with great responsibility our Spidey superhero has proved this thing in his all films. Spider-Man all movie franchise is so well & fascinating. I don’t think it’s wrong to say that the latest chapter of Spider-Man Far from home is so better than all Spider-Man. Far from home has everything, has more than your expectations. The work of CGI is really sumptuous and realistic. I suggest you guys. You shouldn’t miss the chance to see Spider-Man Far from home. I give this movie a 10 out of 10 ratings.

This is the beginnings of my first full sized moving limb doll. Its arms are a bit lumpy by the wrists and I need to work that out. It is only something I noticed once the photo was taken. Cameras don't lie, and all that. Because it will be a model for the doll clothing I make, I plan on making the hair rather gender neutral. I have started working the wig already and can't wait to do the face next.
It is such a wonderful moment when a doll is at this stage. The personality is just starting to come through. I have started waiting a few days after I get a doll to this point to see if I can sense the features before I apply them.

One of the most unique tourist attractions in North Wales is the unusual Italianate village set on its own private peninsula. Portmerion was made famous for being the setting for the 1960s cult TV series The Prisoner. A lifelong vision and project of architect Clough Williams-Ellis, who collected derelict buildings from all around Britain and reassembled them in a dramatic coastal location with landscaped gardens.
The tour also routes you through the stunning Snowdonia National Park along the most scenic road in Wales. We visit the prettiest villages in the Snowdonia National Park and tour along the scenic rocky pass of Aberglaslyn. Another highlight of the touring day is riding on one of the great little steam trains of North Wales along with a visit and photographic stop at historic royal town of Caernarfon.

The Ethics of Testimony:
A Genealogical Perspective
The very idea of witnessing, it would seem, necessarily implies first-hand experiential knowledge. C.A.J. Coady, the author of a recent philosophical study of testimony, writes that
[. . .] testimony [. . .] is the evidence given by persons. [. . .] The persons in question are referred to as 'witnesses' but a visual analogy is not essential (obviously a blind man can be a perfectly good witness for some purposes and indeed, in some circumstances, e.g. the dark, he may be an even better witness than someone who is sighted). (27)
The implicit assumption here is that a person becomes a witness—and thus eligible to give testimonial evidence—the moment he gains some privileged knowledge through first-hand experience (be it visual or not).
One of the earliest and most often cited historical sources of this paradigm of witnessing-as-experiential knowledge is eyewitness testimony about the New World. Early modern European eyewitness accounts of the Americas are habitually put forth (following the examples of critics such as Pagden, Greenblatt and Campbell) as an index of the new epistemological prestige of first-hand experience, a prestige that supposedly attended both the birth of modern empirical science and the consolidation of the modern subject. An oft-cited character in this narrative is Bartolomé de Las Casas, the Dominican friar who accompanied Columbus on his [End Page 36] third voyage and who later became an ardent defender of the human rights of the indigenous populations of the Americas as well as the editor of Columbus's logs.
In the prologue to his unfinished Historia de las Indias, composed between 1527 and 1559, Las Casas asserts the privileged authority of the eyewitness historian. In a move typical of early learned accounts of the New World, he argues for the superiority of eyewitness history by citing authoritative textual sources:
Metasthenes [wrote] in order to show that those who would write histories were not to write merely from hearsay nor based on their own opinions, because according to S. Isidore [. . .] in his Etymologies, "history" in Greek is apo tus istorein, id est, videre, which means to see or to know, because none of the Ancients dared to write a history without having been present at the events in question and having seen with his own eyes that about which he intended to write. (I: 5-6)
Countless early modern scholars have called on this Las Casas as an exemplary exponent of what Anthony Pagden has termed the "autoptic imagination" (51). Along with sixteenth-century eyewitness historians of the New World like Bernal DÀ1Àaz del Castillo, Fernando González de Oviedo, Amerigo Vespucci, Jacques Cartier, Jean de Léry, and Sir Walter Raleigh—to name just the best known—Las Casas is thus an important reference point for the history of witnessing, and it is as a representative of general trends in the discourse of witnessing in pre- and early modernity that Las Casas functions in my argument. Against the "autoptic" reading of Las Casas, however, I will suggest that the genealogy of the modern witness is much more complex than the traditional narrative of the "emergence" of the epistemological eyewitness in sixteenth-century Europe would have us believe. Las Casas's praise of eyewitnessing is but one dimension of the discourse of testimony in the History of the Indies. When we examine sixteenth-century European eyewitnesses like Las Casas in their historical context—more specifically, in the context of pre- and early modern juridical practice—it becomes clear that the assumption that testimony is primarily a discourse about knowledge, in particular experiential knowledge, cannot serve as a point of departure for the analysis of testimony in the century following Columbus's landfall on Hispaniola in 1492.
It would be of purely historical interest to point out the limitations of the epistemic model of testimony with respect to New World witnessing were it not for the fact that it is one that has been essentialized in much contemporary humanistic scholarship.

Being a wedge shaft, this one, in particular, is tapered so most of the flexibility will be in the club head area.

Dodge Student Creates Prop in Fowler School of Engineering’s Tech Shop
April 27, 2022
We don’t always think about how props are made or acquired by filmmakers, we just see the magic as we watch the film. For Fox Helms, a Film Productions major in the Dodge College of Film & Media Arts, he saw an opportunity to create his props using 3D printers available in the Fowler School of Engineering’s Tech Shop.
For his final thesis film, Fox designed and 3D printed a statue of a golden owl to use as the centerpiece of his film, Carver Statue Snatched!. Fox thought of using the 3D printers because he works as a student assistant in the Tech Shop to help other students utilize the tools and dream up their projects.
3D printing has become popular among Chapman students in the Fowler School of Engineering. They have created several objects while learning about the engineering lifecycle, often uncovered in the Ideation Zone, created in the Makerspace and tested in the Tech Shop. Many student projects have become centerpieces for workshops available across campus to students, faculty and staff.
You can watch Fox Helm’s thesis film, Carver Statue Snatched!, on YouTube.

Five linked families live out their destinies as the world is shaken by tyranny and war in the mid-20th century. Berlin in 1933 is in upheaval. Eleven-year-old Carla von Ulrich struggles to understand the tensions disrupting her family as Hitler strengthens his grip on Germany. Into this turmoil step her mother's formidable friend and former British MP, Ethel Leckwith, and her student son, Lloyd, who soon learns for himself the brutal reality of Nazism.
He also encounters a group of Germans resolved to oppose Hitler - but are they willing to go so far as to betray their country? Such people are closely watched by Volodya, a Russian with a bright future in Red Army Intelligence. The international clash of military power and personal beliefs that ensues will sweep over them all as it ranges from Cable Street in London's East End to Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, from Spain to Stalingrad, from Dresden to Hiroshima.
At Cambridge Lloyd is irresistibly drawn to dazzling American socialite Daisy Peshkov, who represents everything his left-wing family despise. But Daisy is more interested in aristocratic Boy Fitzherbert - amateur pilot, party lover, and leading light of the British Union of Fascists. Back in Berlin, Carla worships golden boy Werner from afar. But nothing will work out the way they expect as their lives and the hopes of the world are smashed by the greatest and cruellest war in the history of the human race.
Winter of the World is the second novel in Ken Follett's uniquely ambitious and deeply satisfying trilogy The Century. On its own or read in sequence with Fall of Giants, this is a magnificent, spellbinding epic of global conflict and personal drama.
©2012 Ken Follett (P)2012 Penguin US/Macmillan Digital Audio
Right, I have just finished listening to this epic story and I have to say I have not had an audio book like it. Having listened to the previous book in the series (Fall Of Giants) I thought that it would be impossible to top, well this one is even better. Great character development, well narrated and gripping. The story lines are interesting and in some parts deeply shocking with some, not graphic but disturbing descriptions of human behaviour. I noticed that this was a good book when I woke up in the middle of the night and started listening to the audio book hoping to drift off to sleep, then 4 hours later still awake I had to get up and go to work! The sooner the next book in the series is released the better. I would recommend this book to everyone!
"Setting a standard"
There are many stars in this audiobook. Obviously, the author is one - Ken Follett's majestic sweep both stirring and emotional. The next star is John Lee, who captures a wide variety of accents, from different countries and regions, as well as carrying off both male and female voices. He sets a standard for other narrators. Finally, the various characters shine like stars. Although it is obvious where Follett's sympathies lie, all the fictional characters are brought to life, while the 'real life' characters are realistic and invest the novel with further authenticity. You'll be sorry when you have finished, but then, in two years' time, we'll have the final installment. It is unlikely to reach the heights of this novel, though, given the history that 'Winter of the World' covers.
"Winter of the World"
I'm a Ken Follett historical history fan from way back. There has never been anything other than a well-researched, brilliant novel. John Lee narrates the books like they were written for him. But Winter of the World has proved even Ken Follett can outdo himself! This should be required reading for history classes in England and the U.S. I have never been a real fan of the history of WWII but this was the easiest and most captivating history lesson I have ever had. Couldnt stop listening. You just cannot go wrong with this book it's a real winner.
"The horror of war"
Follet's story unfolds in a manner that really clamps ice around your heart, and vicariously one gets a feel for the horror that both civilians and soldiers experienced, and for the utterly bizarre social circumstances that war creates
Such well developed characters. I even felt for the Germans in this battle, you find yourself wanting them all to come out of it well.
"Another cracker from Ken!"
I love Ken's writing style, it's so easy to read and thus translates very well to audio. Well done John Lee. Beautifully read bringing another dimension to the characters and realism. This middle chapter of the trilogy was slightly too long - but what to leave out??? Super story cannot wait for number 3.
"Great author, Brilliant narrator"
I have enjoyed every one of Ken Follet's historical novels and this is certainly one of his best. But, what really makes the audiobook special is the narrator, John Lee. I am in awe of his narration skills and have begun to search for his books, regardless of the author. Thank you John for bringing great books to life.
So. How to begin? I would love to say this was a great book, I enjoyed the first one. But I felt this book was more of an historical book rather than a literary novel. Ken Follet really knows his stuff however so I cannot fault him on that and I learned a few things! On a negative side there were far too many silly coincidences. Everyone crosses everyone else's path across Europe, Britain, USA and Russia, what are the chances! I even began to roll my eyes and I guessed that the British brother in the French resistance would be the one to discover his other brother in the fighter plane over France. And it becomes a little condescending when ken reminds us of things more than once, like he doesn't trust us to remember, I didn't like that, it wasnt helpful. And I actually listened to a whole part of a book on time and a half speed, the narration was just a little too slow for me. If u have read the first book I suppose you have to listen to this one but otherwise I wouldn't really recommend (saying that tho, I will probably read the third one when it comes out!)
"Brilliant story, fabulous narration from John Lee"
Continuation of Fall of Giants storyline. Loved every second. I was disappointed when Fall of Giants ended and couldn't wait to start on Winter of the World. Now I have finished both I feel really sad - so invested in the people and the interconnected stories. I am really going to miss them.
Brilliant story, fabulous narration from John Lee
"History as a teacher should see it."
I have for the first time wished that I had spent more time with history and less with imagination and fantasy. In part this comes from the passion of the story teller and Ken has brought to life an amazing time in history with a beautiful and full back story.

What is the 2018 Oxford Dictionary word of the year? I know you're dying to know.
Every year, the word-nerds at Oxford select a word or expression that is judged "to reflect the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of that particular year and to have lasting potential as a word of cultural significance."
So, the winner each year is a word that's widely used, but not necessarily the most used. It has to be something that is used prominently and also captures the zeitgeist. For example, in 2006 the winner was "carbon neutral." How quaint does that sound now? In 2009, it was "unfriend," as in, what a lot of people are doing to Facebook right now. In 2013, it was "selfie." And last year's was "youthquake." When you look at their past winning words, for better or worse, they're pretty good at capturing the times.
Which brings me to this year's Oxford Dictionary word of the year… toxic. Oxford explains that it's "the sheer scope of its application that has made it the standout choice."
And now that they've mentioned it, they pretty much nailed it. It captures the cultural climate and must be the most overused word in the world right now. It used to be used mainly in health-related matters – toxic air, gas, algae, chemicals, fumes, waste, plastics. You know, stuff like "Tide pods are toxic."
But now, everything is toxic: toxic environment, rhetoric, policy, agenda, legacy, parenting, workplace, school, speech, culture, relationship, tweets, and everyone's favorite, toxic masculinity. That's not a joke – after chemical, Oxford found that masculinity is the most-used word in conjunction with toxic this year.
The use of "toxic" has clearly turned toxic.
"Toxic" sums up this week in the U.S. alone, never mind the rest of 2018 – Florida recounts, President Trump vs. CNN, Georgia's governor election, Michael Avenatti. CNN has used "toxic" in over 600 news stories and opinion pieces online so far this year. That's an average of two times per day. And that's just online. And that's just CNN.
The use of "toxic" has clearly turned toxic.
Toxic is simply defined as "poisonous." It comes from the Greek words "toxikon pharmakon" which means "poison for arrows."
Poisonous arrows – that pretty much sums up America's year of outrage.
There's a new tactic being employed by the Left this week, and if this doesn't backfire on them - LIKE BIGLY - then we are in serious trouble. I don't mean "we" as in the GOP, or even conservatives, but "WE" as in a country. Actually, screw it… "WE" as in a SPECIES.
First, it was a commercial ran by Planned Parenthood that used a precious looking baby, a lullaby and these words: "she deserves to be loved"... "she deserves to be wanted"... "she deserves to be a choice." How dead inside do you have to be - actually - how evil do you have to be to hear a lullaby, see a cooing baby and try and force people into thinking that this baby's life is expendable? That if the mood hits you right, this baby's life should be taken and destroyed. Because that's what this ad was trying to do.
But this was just the first crazy ad. Celine Dion has just launched a new clothing line with a mini movie style commercial. But I've gotta warn you, this might be the creepiest thing you hear all year.
CELINUNUNU OFFICIAL youtu.be
Our children are not really ours? This is Marxist propaganda bull crap. This is disgusting. This is exactly what the new left want to brainwash you into believing. That they hold the reins to everything in your life. They can tell you where you can receive healthcare. They can tell you how to run your business. They control your children's education curriculum. They own you… and especially your kids.
While this Marxist propaganda piece is rolling, Celine Dion is actually breaking into a hospital nursery. When she delivers the line, "they have the right to choose" Dion magically turns the nursery into an Orwellian hospital room that removes all color - no more blue and pink - and changes all the boy/girl symbology into hospital crosses. Why? Because gender identifiers are not "inclusive"... you know, obviously.
Are we so inoculated to Cultural Marxism that we're now accepting it?
But maybe the scariest thing about the past 7 days or so is that I haven't seen or heard much of a backlash from this. Where is the pushback? Are we so inoculated to Cultural Marxism that we're now accepting it? How long will we allow this crap? Our children are our children.
No government - Marxist or Capitalist - has any claim to them. And gender? It's pretty damn obvious here. Any attempt to trivialize and diminish life, the family and even basic science should be met head on. And I know none of us can stomach hearing "My heart will go on" one more frigging time, but please - for the sake of sanity - Celine please go back to your bread and butter. Even that is better than this Marxist creep show.
At this point, I think there are about - oh - four thousand potential Democrats that may try and run for president in 2020. But we can probably take one off the list. "The creepy porn lawyer", also known by some as Michael Avenatti, was arrested yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles. And the reason why he was arrested kind of makes you think there's some kind of invisible force out there that's making sure either irony or maybe even karma is receiving it's daily offering. Michael Avenatti was just arrested for… Domestic Violence.
The alleged victim filed the complaint on Wednesday, but the incidents began on Tuesday. The woman involved is said to have bruising and swelling on her face and was kicked out of Avenatti's Los Angeles area apartment. Avenatti could be heard screaming, "This is BS, this is effing BS! She hit me first!"
Yeah, I don't think the whole "she hit me first" line is going to be a good strategy to use in court. He might want to revise that… I'm just saying.
You know, I wonder if the media - specifically CNN and MSNBC - are going to be doing any mea culpa's over the next 12 to 24 hours? They basically became Avenatti's PR wing over the past 8 months. From March to May, the two networks had Avenatti on the air over 100 times. He gave 147 interviews on both cable and network TV. MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell actually said quote, "Michael Avenatti is becoming my co-host. I've got to say."
And this was actually before he dragged Julie Swetnick into the limelight to attack Kavanaugh. You know I wonder, will this teach networks like CNN and MSNBC to maybe take a step back on over hyping and exposing every crazy, and even salacious, person or claim that comes out simply because it may be anti-Trump or GOP? Could this be a learning moment? Yeah… probably not, but one can dream.
And speaking of Kavanaugh, I've got to read this twitter exchange between one user and Avenatti on October 5th that said:
Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed, and it's Michael Avenatti's fault. Seriously.
And then Avenatti replied:
You are right. I should have turned my back on my client. Told her to "shut up" and stay quiet because people like you apparently believe assault victims are to blame. This line of thinking is disgusting and offensive to all survivors.
Well that was then and this is today. Here is Avenatti's statement last night.
Michael Avenatti: 'I Have Never Struck A Woman' | NBC News youtu.be
Umm, in the court of Avenatti, #metoo and public opinion now a days - by the standard that he helped create - is this statement not "disgusting and offensive to all survivors" as he tweeted back in October? Is he not immediately guilty as accused? I wonder if all the men and women screaming at Kavanaugh and GOP Senators in elevators can now see the pandora's box that they wanted opened.
The answer is no… he's NOT guilty as accused. Avenatti is innocent of this crime… UNTIL he's found guilty. We have to presume he's innocent until all evidence comes out proving he's not. That's how this works. Let's lead by example and do something radical here… let's actually wait for all the information and evidence to come out before we convict someone of a crime.
And that right there is the real irony here. Avenatti will get the due process that he deserves, but I doubt neither he - nor anyone screaming for Kavanaugh's head - will realize what happened.
It's been a busy week for former First Ladies, and for current First Lady Melania Trump. It has also been busy for one woman who, twenty-odd years ago, while working at the White House for then-President at the age of 21, shot to fame in the most embarrassing way possible.
Monica Lewinsky has released "The Clinton Affair," a docuseries that premieres this weekend on A&E;, a six-part series examining those cringe-inducing days and months surrounding her affair with Bill Clinton.
In an article for Vanity Fair early this year, she wrote:
Some closest to me asked why would I want to revisit the most painful and traumatic parts of my life — again. Publicly. On-camera. With no control of how it would be used. A bit of a head-scratcher, as my brother is fond of saying. Do I wish I could erase my years in D.C. from memory, 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' style? Well, is the sky blue? But I can't. And in order to move forward in the life I have, I must take risks — both professional and emotional…. An important part of moving forward is excavating, often painfully, what has gone before. When politicians are asked uncomfortable questions, they often duck and dodge by saying, 'That's old news. It's from the past.' Yes. That's exactly where we need to start to heal — with the past. But it's not easy.
Filming the documentary forced me to acknowledge to myself past behavior that I still regret and feel ashamed of," she explained. "There were many, many moments when I questioned not just the decision to participate, but my sanity itself. Despite all the ways I tried to protect my mental health, it was still challenging. During one therapy session, I told my therapist I was feeling especially depressed. She suggested that sometimes what we experience as depression is actually grief… Yes, it was grief. The process of this docuseries led me to new rooms of shame that I still needed to explore.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton—a man who has been accused of all sorts of terrible things, a close friend of Harvey Weinstein—recently admitted that he didn't feel the need to apologize to Lewinsky. Lewinsky disagrees.
I'm less disappointed by him, and more disappointed for him. He would be a better man for it… and we, in turn, a better society.
The #MeToo movement has been a wrecking ball to so many men, yet Bill Clinton, perhaps the most prolific of them all, has escaped unscathed.
