Dave’s Trail to Braille
This is part of our series on the importance of braille literacy. We asked braille readers about their introduction to the braille system and how braille has changed their lives. This is part of a campaign to promote the Braille Trail Reader LE, a limited edition refreshable braille display from APH.
Braille was a part of my life from just about “moment one.” When I was three years old my Mom took a braille course offered in Memphis, about 50 miles from my home town. She made braille important, necessary, and an expected part of my life. When I was little, my Mom and I would look through blindness product catalogs to find all the cool stuff that was available in braille. I would be hard-pressed to find a Christmas where there wasn’t a featured gift involving braille. These gifts included but were not limited to a watch in third grade, another one a couple of years later when I destroyed the original watch, my Monopoly game in fifth or sixth grade, and a kitchen timer when I was learning how to cook in junior high school. Somewhere, in one of the boxes that hold some of my life treasures, there’s my own print and braille copy of Go Dog Go. It’s all beat-up from use and abuse. My copy of Go Dog Go has braille labels that were written by my Mom and carefully glued to each page. I didn’t appreciate it that much when she made it. It was just another book. But the fact that the book is now in such bad condition is a testament to how important it was to me as a child.
Braille did not come easily for me. I had a terrible time learning to read. I couldn’t keep my i’s and e’s straight. I reversed d’s and f’s, h’s and j’s. I had trouble staying on the right line. Nemeth Code was something from another world. I read at a level well below many of my classmates during my early grade school years. I had to read out loud for an hour every day during the summer between first and second grade. Mom would ask me questions about what I was reading; so I had to try to go beyond just getting the words right. It was boring and frustrating and I hated it. And without it, I would have missed out on the joys of reading.
Something snapped midway through second grade and reading started making sense. I’m still a slow reader, but I have great comprehension which helps to compensate.
Braille has been a staple of my personal and professional life. I spend tons of time traveling for work and that means lots of hotel rooms. Thank goodness the doors (at least here in the U.S.) are almost always in braille. So when I’m on the road, braille literally gets me home for the night. I read books using refreshable braille notetakers when I’m on planes or when there’s a spare moment. I use braille to keep up with my phone, especially during meetings that have gone on too long. It’s how I read bedtime stories to my son when he was little. In college, a friend helped me create a Russian Braille template so I could re-learn how to type when taking a Russian language course. All of my several thousand (obsolete) CDs have braille labels. There’s no way I could quantify all the ways in which I use braille. It is a fundamental part of my being.
My Mom and I still communicate sometimes using braille. Even with cell phones and email and all the other stuff that has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life, Mom will sometimes still braille me a note. And when she sent our Christmas box a couple of months ago, the names on the presents were in braille. Little things like that can mean the world. I can never thank Mom enough for learning braille and for making it such a normal part of my life from day one.

Cannot locate a knocking noise coming from a 1999 GT Mustang
Ok, Ive always had a knocking noise coming from this car since I bought this car 8 months ago. I completely rebuilt the motor and it still had a knocking noise that would come and go. So I pulled it apart again thinking it was the timing chains slapping around.... Well thats not it.
It seems to be loudest when the car is idling and then it will be quiet for 50 miles and then it will start knocking again for like 5 mins. You can hear it better when you stick your head under the car verses when your over the engine compartment. It knocks if the clutch is engaged or not. It knocks if the belt is hooked up or not.
It is not a rod knock because they dont come and go. its not the lash adjusters or the cam followers. Not the timing chains, not the exhaust. Everything is good. So im 100% sure its not in the engine.
But for some reason I cant get a bolt in the top right of the bellhousing to block because it is offset. The 2 dowel pins line up and all the other bolts line up. Is it something in the transmission that would make a knocking noise. Why cant I get that bolt to line up? It was like that with the original block too. Are there different bolt patterns for the 4.6 motor? I have the windsor. I know the car should have a t-45 but how do I tell whats in it? Are all tranny bolt patterns the same?
Im so fed up with car its not even funny. All I want is the knocking sound to go away. Ive taken it to Ford twice and both times the noise isnt in it till I get home..
Most people would sell this P.O.S and move on but I really want to figure out this knocking noise.

Frankly, this is hard to believe: The insanely publicized, 72-day mini-marriage between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries is a lifetime compared to some Hollywood couples. Consider these mismatched celebrity lovers and the lengths of their marriages
I don’t know which would be worse: finding out my wife had cheated on me sexually or deceived me financially. I’ve had a taste of the latter in my two failed marriages, and it’s devastating. Financial infidelity destroys trust as much as sexual infidelity.
Can you imagine being married to Kim Kardashian? What a nightmare. Sure, she’s beautiful. And famous, if that appeals to you. But Kim would be the worst wife I can imagine. Why?

In an early blow to skilled nursing facilities, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against two nursing homes in New Jersey, finding the COVID-19 nursing home lawsuits should continue in state court.
Negligence and wrongful-death lawsuits were initially filed in April 2020 in state court against Andover Subacute & Rehabilitation I & II by families of four residents who died of COVID-19. The ruling, issued last week, is believed to be the first decided by a federal appeals court on the matter, according to the opinion.
The lawsuits alleged the facilities did not take precautions to contain the spread of COVID-19, including failing to monitor food preparation, failing to provide personal protective equipment and allowing visitors and employees to enter the facilities without taking their temperatures or making them wear a mask, the ruling stated.
The defendant nursing homes argued on appeal that they were covered by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP), and the cases should be heard in federal court.

WASHINGTON, April 15 (UPI) -- Americans paid more for food and rent as the consumer price index inched up by 0.2 percent for the month of March, as the Fed contemplates increasing rates.
With this 0.2 percent increase in consumer prices, the year-over-year inflation rate is now 1.5 percent, still below the Federal Reserve's threshold. The median forecast by 82 economists polled by Bloomberg estimated a 0.1 percent rise.
While food prices rose 0.4 percent, natural gas prices rose 7.5 percent, airfares rose 0.5 percent, and hospital services increased 0.8 percent, the largest rise was seen in rent or shelter costs, which accounts for nearly a third of the basket of goods and services tracked in the consumer price index.
Renters saw their rents go up 0.3 percent in March, bringing the yearly rise to 3 percent, double the inflation rate.
The Federal Reserve has suggested two percent inflation as the mark after which it will consider raising interest rates. The central bank wants to see inflation rise as it is a sign of healthy business activity. While the Fed has been careful not to indicate when it will start raising rates, many observers say it may not happen for at least another year.
“The overall picture is that inflation has stopped falling and is on a gradual uptrend,” said Thomas Costerg, an economist at Standard Chartered in New York. “To some extent, today’s numbers relieve fears about the U.S. slipping into deflation.”

What is the strength of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in (figure 1)?
Correct Answer: E=kq/r^2
r= 5 x root2 = 7.07 cm or .0707 m (property of 45-45-90 right triangle)
E=(9 x 10^9)(1 x 10^-9)/(.0707)^2
= 1800.5 N/C
Now to find the x component,
cos 45 = x/1800.5
x= 1273.18 N/C
Now multiply by 2 to accommodate both charges,
E=2546.35 N/C in the direction of 0 degrees (no y component since they cancel each other out)
Table of Contents
What Is the Electric Field’s Strength?
A Power An electric field is a measured expression of the intensity of an electric field at a certain point. The normal unit is the volt per meter (V/m or Vm-1). A field strength of 1 V/m signifies a potential difference of 1 V between two sites separated by one meter. Electric field strength is also known as electric field intensity.
Any electrically charged thing produces an electric field, which exerts a force on other charged objects in the vicinity, repelling like charges and also attracting opposite directions. The source object’s field strength can measure at specific vector points within that field, and also each vector point reflects the electric force, magnitude, and direction at that point.
How To Measure Electric Field Strength
A test charge placed at one of the vector locations within the source object’s electric field requires measuring the field strength. This test charge should be positive but not interfere with the source charge. The test charge allows the electric field strength of the source charge to measure at the vector point where the charge position is.
The electric field strength at a certain vector point is proportional to the electric charge of the source item (in coulombs (C)). Furthermore, the power of the field is proportional to the distance between the source object and the test charge vector point. The field strength vs. distance curve is not an inverse square function but a linear inverse function. Electric field strength specifies linear displacement (per meter) rather than a surface area (per meter squared).
The electric field strength can represent mathematically with the following formula:
In this formula, E signifies the electric field strength, F refers to the force exerted by the source charge (in newtons), and q is the test charge (in coulombs). The value of F calculates by using the following formula:
The letter F represents power. Once again, k represents the coulomb constant, Q represents the source charge (in coulombs), q represents the test charge (in coulombs), and d is the distance between Q and q. When the letter F introduce into the original electric field strength formula.
The results are given in newtons per coulomb (N/C), equivalent to volts per meter. For instance, 500 N/C equals 500 V/m, and 1,000 N/C equals 1,000 V/m.
The intensity of an electromagnetic field’s electric field component sometimes uses to indicate its strength. Engineers and scientists do this when discussing the radio frequency field strength at a specific area from distant transmitters, celestial objects, high-tension utility lines, computer screens, or microwave ovens. As the table illustrates, the electric field strength typically provides smaller granularities in this context.
What Is The Direction Of The Electric Field At The Dot?
A positive (negative) point charge generates a radially outward (inward) pointing electric field. By definition, the direction of the electric field is such that it is identical to the force on a positive test charge.
How Do You Find The Electric Field At Point P?
The magnitude of the electric field at a point P is equal to the electric force Fe on a test charge qo divided by the test charge. For all points in Fig. 1 above, the magnitude of the electric field = (Fe)/qo = (kQqo/r2)/qo = kQ/r2 = (9 x 109 N-m2/C2)(2 x 10-6 C)/9 m2 = 2 x 103 N/C.

Top positive review
on 28 December 2016
I enjoyed this gritty mystery thoroughly. Britt Montero is a crime reporter for a Miami newspaper. She is young, tough and resourceful and does her job with dedication, even wangling her way into going out with the police on their night shift. This is no cosy mystery. It does not shirk any of the painful realities and Britt is pushed to her limit as she investigates police corruption and the violence that exists on the streets of Miami. I found this a satisfying, well-plotted and well-written read. The characters are compelling and the story so convincing that I wondered where the author got her inside knowledge of the newspaper business. I recalled the politics, the personal agendas and the pressures of my own working life as I read, remembering how difficult it was to follow my own instincts and ideals when everyone else knew - or thought they knew - much better than I did how my job should be done. It pushed me to my limits and Britt is similarly forced to cling to her principles as everything seems to conspire to make her fail. To be fair. her problems were a bit greater than mine! This book was an insight into an aspect of life I had not experienced and I found that stimulating and thought-provoking, even while enjoying this very readable story.

Background: The prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) and phospholipase A2 group IIA (PLA2G2A) genes encode enzymes that are involved in arachidonic acid and prostaglandin biosynthesis. Dysregulation of both genes is associated with inflammation and carcinogenesis, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We therefore hypothesized that there is an association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes and susceptibility to ESCC. Methods: We performed a gene-wide tag SNP-based association study to examine the association of SNPs in PTGS2 and PLA2G2A with ESCC in 269 patients and 269 healthy controls from Taihangshan Mountain, Henan and Hebei Provinces, the rural area of China which has the highest incidence of esophageal cancer in the world. Thirteen tag SNPs in PLA2G2A and 4 functional SNPs in PTGS2 were selected and genotyped using a high-throughput Mass Array genotyping platform. Results: We found a modest increased risk of ESCC in subjects with the PTGS2 rs12042763 AA genotype (OR=1.23; 95% CI, 1.00-3.04) compared with genotype GG. For PLA2G2A, a decreased risk of ESCC was observed in subjects with the rs11677 CT (OR=0.51, 95%CI, 0.29-0.85) or TT genotype (OR=0.51, 95%CI, 0.17-0.96) or the T carriers (CT+TT) (OR=0.52, 95%CI, 0.31-0.85) when compared with the CC genotype. Also for PLA2G2A, rs2236771 C allele carriers were more frequent in the control group (P=0.02). Subjects with the GC (OR=0.55, 95%CI, 0.33-0.93) or CC genotype (OR=0.38, 95% CI, 0.16-0.94) or the C carriers (GC+CC) (OR=0.52, 95%CI, 0.32-0.85) showed a negative association with ESCC susceptibility. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PTGS2 and PLA2G2A gene polymorphisms may modify the risk of ESCC development.

Soot -- Arctic regions -- Environmental aspects, Soot -- Greenland -- Environmental aspects, Albedo, Climatic changes -- Arctic regions, Global warming -- Effect of soot on
Black carbon (BC) is a troubling particulate. Commonly known as soot, BC forms through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass. It has a very low albedo compared to natural particulates making it a very efficient absorber of solar radiation. As BC is deposited on snow and ice, albedo is decreased - enhancing solar heating and increasing meltwater production. With rising air temperatures, melting rates of polar ice are increasing and are being enhanced by BC, leading to accelerated global sea level rise.
This study aimed to document sources and deposition areas of BC in the Arctic. Utilizing HySplit, an air trajectory model, patterns of BC trajectories are assessed. Spatial patterns of deposition are estimated from known sources and source regions predicted from known deposition locations through the use of backward trajectory. Atmospheric circulation transports BC from temperate regions into the Arctic. The strength and location of the polar front in relation to the North Atlantic Oscillation is a dominant controlling factor.

A very spoiler-light review of a very good show.
- Author Archive
Author: Liz Baessler
'BoJack Horseman' season 5 takes no prisoners, itself included, and it's amazing.
The new season delivers big in some ways but holds back in several others.
Gay Jacked Mac, Feminist Dee, and Dennis... Sort Of
"What if the motive is just... poop is funny?"
Every single one, Charlie.
At 12 seasons and counting, the show is a vivid timeline of evolving American sentiment.
The year's half over. When did that happen?
'Preacher' returns high on insanity but low on energy.
And why does it matter?

"Pushin' Against a Stone is June's full-length major label debut — and it's a breath of fresh air. ... the album's best moments may be its quieter ones — the chilling menace of "Shotgun," the pure melancholy of "Twined and Twisted" and the heartbreaking beauty of "Somebody to Love," the latter buoyed by her plucked banjo and Booker T. Jones' gently hovering organ. These songs allow June's unusual voice to really shine; a clear, reedy soprano, it's reminiscent of Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton without sounding like either." — Living Blues magazine, August 2013
Pushin' Against A Stone's U.S. release follows Valerie June's breakout year in the U.K., where she has performed on Jools Holland, toured with Jake Bugg, and earned critical raves, with the London Evening Standard calling her "a major star in waiting" and The Sunday Times hailing her as "this year's big new voice."
The album — which brings together the talents of acclaimed producers Kevin Augunas (Edward Sharpe, Florence + The Machine), Dan Auerbach, and Peter Sabak, along with an all-star cast of musicians ranging from Booker T. and Jimbo Mathus to some of Hungary's top session players — was recorded at Easy Eye in Nashville, Fairfax Recording in Van Nuys, California, and Studio H in Budapest. June, whose voice percolates somewhere between Dolly Parton and Billie Holiday, wrote or co-wrote all but one of the record's 11 tracks, blending rural roots, country, rock, and blues into an astonishing and singular sound that bridges Alan Lomax and Jack White.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a real tragedy that will permanently upset international relations and brutally call into question many of our approaches. But let’s be clear: President Vladimir Putin’s brutality comes from afar. And for a possible future solution to the conflict, the EU must be around the table. For my part, […]
Europe’s quest for greater autonomy in the area of defence and security has two closely interlinked but nevertheless distinct dimensions: one is the autonomous capacity to launch and sustain military operations, the other is defence-related technological and industrial sovereignty. Through the second half of the 20th century, the existential threat posed by the Soviet Union […]
The qualitative leap which was introduced in the European project in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis has brought higher levels of solidarity and cohesion. But there is still a long way to go. The speech of the president of the European Commission has outlined a few further steps, but many more need to be […]
Defence of progressive values, legality, and respect for others: a priority for the new MEPs.
President Trump’s decision to pull out of the INF Treaty dismantles the international system of nuclear disarmament, but a strong EU voice can still save it.
The EP has tried to convince Member States to respect their own commitments on arms exports. With little success so far.

Cryptocurrencies have become an increasingly popular method of payment in recent years, and many merchants are looking for ways to accept them in their online stores. If you’re running a Magento store, you may be wondering how to accept crypto payments. In this article, we’ll explore the steps you can take to start accepting crypto payments in your Magento store.
Step 1: Choose a Crypto Exchange
The first step to accepting crypto payments is to choose a crypto exchange. A crypto exchange is a platform where you can buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies. There are many crypto exchanges available, but not all of them are created equal. When choosing a crypto exchange, you should consider factors such as fees, security, user interface, and customer support.
Some popular crypto exchanges that you may want to consider include:
Once you’ve chosen a Crypto Exchange, you’ll need to create an account and set up a wallet to store your crypto assets.
Step 2: Install a Crypto Payment Gateway Extension
Once you have a crypto exchange account and wallet set up, the next step is to install a crypto payment gateway extension on your Magento store. A payment gateway extension is a software module that allows your store to accept payments from customers using cryptocurrencies.
There are several crypto payment gateway extensions available for Magento, including:
Crypto.com Pay Checkout
When choosing a payment gateway extension, you should consider factors such as fees, supported cryptocurrencies, and customer support. Some payment gateway extensions may also require you to have a merchant account with the crypto exchange you’ve chosen.
Step 3: Configure the Payment Gateway Extension
Once you’ve installed a crypto payment gateway extension, you’ll need to configure it to work with your Magento store. This typically involves entering your crypto exchange API credentials and configuring the extension settings.
Most payment gateway extensions come with documentation or support resources that can help you with the configuration process. If you’re not comfortable configuring the extension yourself, you may want to consider hiring a Magento developer to assist you.
Step 4: Test the Payment Gateway
Before you start accepting crypto payments from customers, it’s important to test the payment gateway to make sure everything is working correctly. This typically involves making a small test transaction using a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
During the test transaction, you should verify that:
The payment gateway is properly integrated with your Magento store
The payment is processed correctly and the funds are credited to your wallet
The customer receives a confirmation that their payment was successful
Step 5: Promote Your Crypto Payment Option
Once you’ve set up your crypto payment gateway and tested it successfully, it’s time to promote the option to your customers. You can do this by adding a “Pay with Crypto” button on your checkout page, including information about crypto payments in your marketing materials, and offering incentives for customers who choose to pay with crypto.
It’s important to note that not all customers will be familiar with crypto payments, so it’s a good idea to provide some educational resources on your website. This can include information about what cryptocurrencies are, how they work, and the benefits of using them for online purchases.
Accepting crypto payments in your Magento store can be a great way to expand your customer base and offer a convenient and secure payment option. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can set up a crypto payment gateway and start accepting payments from customers in just a few simple steps. Remember to choose a reputable crypto exchange, install a trusted payment gateway extension, configure it correctly, test it thoroughly, and promote the option to your customers. With a little effort, you can start reaping the benefits of accepting crypto payments

In my world...
While on location its far more convenient for everyone involved if the background is chosen from whats available at the location - sometimes its amazing, and sometimes its...not. Its also harder to control the environment when its an on-location session, but beautiful images are always possible.
I am far more in control when in my studio - I love fabric and what it can bring to an image as a backdrop. My great-grandmother, grandmother and mother were seamstresses. Mom had a cabinet full of fabric and sewing supplies when I was little and I grew to like how fabric could play with light or create a mood. That appreciation, paired with my love of DIY led me to create my own backdrops and props.
These are a few of the fabrics I use for backdrops or props. I pulled a few, as I have a closet full of backdrops and props! In here is a is a gray and a brown faux suede that have amazing properties with light. There's also a piece of white fabric that drapes almost like liquid - perfect for boudoir. My favorite background that I've added over the last few months though is my black microvelvet. I call it my 'zero black' because I can shoot a ton of light around it and it absorbs every bit of it, allowing me to isolate my subject better. It can be pricey, but if you wait for sales (and can give it a go at piecing together large panels) you can save a lot and have a background that will last for years.
