Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved banana splits. They’ve always felt to me like the king of all desserts just for the sheer size of them. Nothing more complex than a sandwich was ever made at home back then, so the only time I had one was at the local Dairy Queen. Rather than different types of ice cream, this version was just 3 lumps of soft-serve vanilla with various colored goo on top to emulate the strawberry and chocolate portions, but it was magnificent! Ridiculously high in calories, of course, but that wasn’t something you ever talked about back then.
When Philippe and I were in Paris a few years ago, he took me to one of his favorite places to have an authentic banana split. Well, I was assuming we would share one, but when I suggested it his face scrunched up and he looked at me like I had just suggested we jump naked into the Seine. I apparently assumed incorrectly that a dessert the size of a small puppy should be shared. I mean, even the names suggests you “split” it! But if I wanted to partake, I was going to have to eat my own giant ice cream and fruit dish using my own dedicated spoon. And so I did, and it was worth it!
I can’t really fault him, as sharing ice cream desserts isn’t very appetizing. There’s something about the milkiness that makes it seem somewhat unsanitary. Also, a banana split may start out looking magnificent, but its demise is a gruesome affair. What was once a beautiful piece of art is transformed into a funky trough of brownish-pink ooze with chunks in it. My, that’s vulgar. Suffice it to say, there’s a good reason to enjoy the end privately. Just you, your puppy-sized dessert, and your very own spoon.

Choosing the correct power supply wattage is crucial, but many beginners find themselves confused about what PSU wattage to pick.
To solve this problem, many PC builders rely on a PSU wattage calculator. In this article, I will showcase some of the best PSU calculators to help you pick the perfect PSU wattage.
Top 8 PSU Calculators and How to Use Them?
Many online Power Supply calculators are available, but not all of them are easy to use. Here, I’ve compiled a list of the most user-friendly PSU calculators:
Enermax PSU Calculator
Enermax has an excellent Power Supply calculator where you can select your own language like- English, French, Chinese, etc. You can access this calculator from- Enermax PSU Calculator.
On the website, choose your motherboard type, CPU socket type and model, RAM amount, video card brand and model, storage device type and amount, keyboard and mouse type, and the number of fans. Then, click the “Calculate” button to determine your required PSU wattage.
In the picture above, I chose all of my PC parts and clicked the “Calculate” button. This tool said that my parts will use 565 watts of power, and I can pick a PSU between 600 and 650 watts.
MSI PSU Calculator
The MSI also has an excellent Power Supply calculator, and you can access this calculator from here- MSI PSU Calculator.
This calculator not only recommends the right PSU wattage but also helps you choose the right connector and efficiency level. This is really helpful for new PC builders.
Once you’re on the website, you’ll select your CPU, GPU, amount of RAM, storage type, and the number of fans you plan to use. The website will then provide a clear recommendation for the required PSU wattage and suggest some good PSU models for you.
Newegg PSU Calculator
Newegg also has a Power Supply calculator, and you can access the calculator from here- Newegg PSU calculator.
Besides telling the required PSU wattage, you can purchase PSUs based on your requirements by clicking on the “Shop PSUs” button.
After visiting the website, you must choose your components, such as CPU brand & CPU model, motherboard type, GPU brand & model, and the number of RAMs, SSDs, and HDDs.
After choosing the components, this website will clearly tell you the suggested PSU wattage.
PC PartsPicker System Builder
PC PartsPicker has an awesome tool for PC builders where you can choose different PC components, and the tool will tell you whether all the components are compatible or not.
Besides the compatibility, this website will also tell you the estimated wattage of all your components.
My system components will consume 489W, and for this kind of system, I can pick a PSU between 550W and 600W. You can access this tool from here- PCPartsPicker PC Build Tool.
EVGA PSU Calculator
EVGA Power Supply calculator is different from other PSU calculators, which is known as “EVGA PSU Power Meter“.
After visiting this website, you have to answer some questions like- How many Graphics Cards are in your system, What kind of GPU you have, the chipset of your motherboard, what kind of CPU you have, and the number of SSDs & HDDs you have.
Once you answer all these questions, this tool will tell you the calculated PSU wattage and recommend some PSUs that you can pair with your system.
Techwafer PSU Calculator
Techwafer.com is a tech blog, but it has an excellent Power Supply calculator where you can choose your CPU & GPU model, and the tool will tell you the total TDP of all your components.
Besides telling the TDP, this tool will also give you some Power Supply recommendations based on your requirements. You can access this tool from here- Techwafer PSU calculator.
Be Quite PSU Calculator
Be Quite is a popular PC Components manufacturer, and it has an awesome Power Supply calculator where you can choose PSU based on your preferences, such as you can choose silent PSU, higher-efficiency PSU, etc.
Another great advantage of using this PSU calculator is you can choose your price range; this website will show you the PSU according to your price range. You can access this tool- Be Quite PSU Calculator
Cooler Master PSU Calculator
Cooler Master is a reputable brand in the PC components community, and it also has a Power Supply calculator. You can access the tool from here- Cooler Master PSU calculator.
You can select the PSU efficiency you need and whether you want a fully modular or other kinds of PSU.
Are These PSU Calculators Accurate?
Power supply calculators are not completely accurate, but they are usually right about 80% to 85% of the time, and they can give you a general idea of how much power your computer and its parts use.
The Power Supply calculators are not 100% accurate because companies that make computer parts usually tell you how much power their products use, but these numbers might not be right when you actually use them.
Some components, like graphics cards, may use more power than what their TDP rating suggests when they are working under extreme load.
Now, the question is, should you use these PSU calculators? Yes, you should use these PSU calculators to get the rough estimates. But keep in mind that power supply calculators are just a tool, and they should not be used as a replacement for expert advice.
If you are unsure about how much power your system needs or if you have any other questions about power supplies, it is always best to consult an expert.
PSU Calculators Do Not Provide Information About Compatibility
Before buying the Power Supply, you need to check whether the PSU will fit inside your PC case and, whether the PSU will work with your motherboard or not, and whether the PSU is compatible with CPU & GPU.
Most PSU calculators tell you about the wattage, efficiency, and cables you require, but these calculators don’t tell about the compatibility.
Among all the Power Supply calculators, the PC Parts Picker system builder is the easiest to use and tells you the estimated PSU wattage.
In addition to showing you the power supply wattage you need, this tool also helps you check the compatibility between the power supply and other components. This is a great help for people who are new to building PCs.

Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn—now firmly entrenched in the lunatic fringe—told a QAnon conference this weekend that he supports a violent military coup in the U.S. Video from the Dallas confab posted on social media shows Flynn was asked by an audience member “why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?” As the audience of conspiracy theorists cheered, Flynn responded: “No reason. I mean, it should happen here.” Myanmar’s military in February seized control of the country, detaining leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and Win Myint, claiming their election was fraudulent. The junta has since killed 800 people in a brutal crackdown. Flynn’s public support for an American version had critics on social media calling for the former Army general to be court-martialed.

Hi all. When is the best time to prune my newly bought fan trained plum?
Next summer when the plant is in leaf and the sap is flowing. Plums need to be growing when they are pruned in order for their sap to seal the cuts and keep out infection.
It's a tad too late to prune it this year in my opinion as you risk Silver leaf disease, Derrick. You also need to let it establish so I would have left it unpruned this year anyway. Here's a link to pruning fan-trained trees (including plums) from the RHS:
Many thanks. I'll wait until Spring before I get out the secauteurs!!

After the recent news regarding General Hospital star, Sydney Mikayla’s status with the soap opera, GH fans questioned the status of co-star, William Lipton.
Mikayla and Lipton are in the spotlight together as part of the teen scene on GH. Recent General Hospital news reports confirmed Sydney Mikayla’s new, recurring status, bringing attention to her co-star William Lipton, and his role on General Hospital as Cameron Webber.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Lipton’s role has been recurring for some time, yet his character, Cameron, has been a prominent character in a leading story line with the Cassadines.
General Hospital previews indicate the teenagers of Port Charles will continue with their drama on set, navigating between school and work. William Lipton will be sticking around regardless of his recurring status.
Marie is an avid General Hospital fan. Her passion for writing and the compelling nature of the storylines is a perfect equation for writing a GH blog. Micki has a Bachelor of Science degree from Oakland University and spends time writing poetry and song lyrics.

SAN DIEGO, CA - The Pauma Indian band is responding to concerns voiced by local residents to the announced plan last August for a $300 million expansion project. The plan includes a 400-room resort with a 1,500-car parking structure, a spa, a pool, an events center, and 16 cabanas.
To alleviate concerns, the plans have been scaled back. "We did everything we could to address those concerns," said Chris Devers, chairman of the tribe. "The changes deal with issues such as traffic, noise, water and visual impact." He added that the faltering economy was not a factor in the changes.
The primary changes from the proposal unveiled in August:
The Pauma Indian Band is receiving help on this project from the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in Connecticut. That tribe owns Foxwoods, located halfway between Boston and New York. With 7,000 slot machines it is the largest casino in the world.

Want straight answer to this question? Its obliviously YES.
Now days I am getting so many queries and doubt asking who can do python? Can I do python course but I am not having any coding background so let’s dig into it.
There are roughly 600 languages in the programming world but now a days there is so much demand for Python programming.
Before starting into detail discussion lets first understand what is Python?
What is Python
Python is perfect programming language for the people who don’t know coding. There are many programming languages like Java, Dot Net, C, C++ but python is easy to learn and simple.
Being is there in industry from last 20 years python is the first preference of many programmers.
Python is invented by Guido van Rossum in 1991. Python has many additional features of traditional and modern Programming Languages such as C and Java.
The main advantage of Python is syntax of python of very simple as compared any other language, and mainly it has libraries which can be used for programming.
Python is easy to learn, easy to deploy and easy to use languages. It is one of the promising languages of future. Companies like YouTube, Instagram, and Surveymonkey has developed in python. Python provides good support by providing libraries to the developer community.
Advanced technologies like Machine learning, AI, Big Data are heavily relying on python.
Who is for Python
Now a day’s Python is not limited only in development in fact now a day’s python is used for python scripting in the field of automation testing.
Also python is used in data science, data mining and machine learning.
According to statictimes Python is number 1programming language in the world currently.
Many big MNC’s are adopting python for their new upcoming projects due to python supports multiple platforms. Many companies who are into big data and machine learning are heavily rely on Python. Companies like YouTube, Instagram, Surverymonkey are developed in Python.
Also there are lots of Job Opportunities currently available in python or its platforms.
Advantages of Python
- Its supports multiple platforms
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) driven.
- Allows you to scale even the most complex applications with ease
- Extensive Support Libraries
- Has the ability to scale even the most complex applications
- Ideal for building prototypes and testing out ideas faster
- Open-source with an ever-growing community support
Things you should know before you start the Python
Many other languages need basic knowledge of C language; it is always an advantage if you know basics of c language.
It is not to have compulsory to have programming knowledge but there are few things which you should know before you start learning Python.
Check out below things which you should know before you start learning python.
- Difference between Front end and Backend
Front-end vs. back-end — what’s the difference? You might have heard these 2 terms many times referred to web page.
Front-end is nothing but what we can see on a particular web page. it can a text, image, video which can be developed using technologies like html, css, bootstrap, php etc.
Back-end in contrast is a code which goes behind that page. Its what you don’t see. Backend tell website what to do which page to display when someone search for something on your website. Backend technologies are python, ruby, pearl etc.
So that’s the basic difference between front-end and back-end.
- What can we do with Python?
You need to know what you can do with the python. You can develop the backend of any website, do data mining, automate repetitive many things, python can be used in Machine learning.
There are many more things apart from this which we can do with the help of python.
- Which Version is suitable Python 2 vs Python 3
There is always debate whether we should use python 2 or python 3 especially in version 2.5 or 3.5.
So what the difference, Python 2 is the old legacy version which is there in the industry from more than one and half decade. And Python 3 is now future. Some of the libraries of python 2 are not compatible with python 3.
Many companies are moving from Python 2 to Python 3 so instead od learning python 2 which is going to obsolete after some days start learning python 3.
- Understand what jobs hire Python developers
As python is used in many fields so there are many job opportunities available in market on different designation.
Below is some of the field which companies are hiring.
Junior Python Developer
It’s nothing but an entry level job for fresher students, so what’s the exact job role of Python developer.
- Write reusable repetitive Python code
- Integrate product frontend with the backend side (Client side with server side)
- Integrate applications security and data protection.
- Integrating data storage solutions for website or application.
Non Python -Skills you require.
- Knowledge of Python web frameworks (Django, Flask, Pyramid)
- Knowledge of server-side languages
- Debugging and Testing skills
PYTHON FULL STACK DEVELOPER
Python full stack developer in kind of mid role between fresher and mid level experience candidate.
SO whats exactly full stack developer, Full stack developer is nothing but having a full knowledge of frond end and backend development.
- Developing backend of websites with Python, ruby etc.
- Developing server databases
Non-Python skills you require.
- React JS
- Node JS
- Ruby on Rails
Mid-to-Senior Level Python Jobs
Its an data mining job where data scientist extract the data for companies and find the patterns and make predication based on that data.
Data scientist people have stats, mathematics, computer science background.
Now more and more companies are relying on data analysis so its an premium job role now in industry.
- Data Mining or data analysis form companies data
- Developing the tools and to monitor companies data in order measure accuracy of data
- Applying or developing data accuracy techniques.
Non-Python Skills to Have
- Experience in data science tool (R, NumPy, matlab)
- Data visualization tool (Django Framework knowledge)
- Expertise in query languages (SQL, Pig, Hive)
MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER
It’s and higher level high experience and hard job role in python. ML engineers develop machine, develop codes which will performs their action without instructing them.
Now a day’s AI & ML is the highest paying job in industry.
- Understand the data structures, patterns
- Collaborate with data scientist to develop the models
- Developing the algorithms
Non-Python Skills to Have
- Deep knowledge of maths, statistics, and algorithms
- Knowledge of R Language
- Proficiency Knowledge in machine learning frameworks
So what’s the conclusion, Anyone can do Python Programming with any background.
Even if you are fresher may be BSC, BCS, BCA or engineering graduate or experience person from non it fields like civil, mechanical, electronics engineers than also you can do python programming, as there is no prerequisite required for python programming.
Many graduates from many different fields are doing python now irrespective of their non-it background and companies are also hiring many fresher’s for junior roles, but one thing is most important here if you want to get a job here then you should be able to write code in python and you can learn python at home from the internet as there are many free resources available on the web or else you can join any Python certification training course


VW kicks up some sand with all electric dune buggy
Volkswagen is aiming to re-awaken the spirit of 60s America with a modern take on the classic dune buggy. The all-electric concept will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
VW's effort is by no means the first electric dune buggy we've seen – Venturi hit the Paris Motor Show in 2010 with the America concept and Bruce Meyers celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Manx in 2014 with an electric-powered version of his iconic dune buggy.
But VW manufactured the vehicles that were sacrificed to provide the chassis for many a dune buggy in the 1960s – the Volkswagen Beetle, or Bug. So maybe it's fitting that VW should choose to demonstrate the versatility of the company's modular electric drive matrix (MEB) platform, which we first saw in the company's I.D. concepts a while back (including the Buzz and the Crozz), with an all-electric dune buggy concept.
"The concept of the fully electric buggy is based on the vehicles that were created in the 1960s in California," said VW. "Back then, the Beetle chassis served as the basis for these buggies; now, the MEB is proving to be just as flexible."
Like the original vehicles from the 1960s and 70s, the new concept rolls on large wheels and chunky tires, and requires the driver and buddies to hop over the bodywork to take their seats – no doors here. And you'd better hope for clear skies as there's no roof either.
Beyond those few details, VW isn't saying much else and has only released two teaser photos ahead of the 89th International Geneva Motor Show opens its doors on March 7. No doubt more will be revealed then.


text: Signaling through the Notch receptor has dramatically different effects depending on cell type and developmental timing. While a myriad of biological systems affected by Notch have been described, the molecular mechanisms by which a generic Notch signal is translated into a cell-type-specific output are less clear. Canonically, the Notch intracellular domain (NICD) translocates into the nucleus upon ligand binding to transcriptionally regulate target genes. In order to generate specificity, therefore, additional factors must exist that modulate NICD activity. Here we describe a novel regulator of the Notch pathway, Endonuclease GI (EndoGI). EndoGI localizes to the nucleus of most cells and activates Notch signaling when overexpressed. In the absence of endoGI, mutant animals are viable, but uncoordinated as motor neurons fail to innervate their appropriate muscle targets. Our data is therefore consistent with EndoGI functioning as a positive regulator of the Notch signaling pathway, playing a critical role during axon guidance of motor neurons.

The return of Mr. Fingers
A rare interview with house icon Larry Heard from his Australian debut at RBMA Weekender Sydney in 2016.
For most house music believers, Larry Heard exists on a higher plane. This is the man, after all, who conjured 'Mystery of Love' and 'Can You Feel It' - two canonical house records - under his Mr. Fingers alias. Despite his low profile, the producer has never stopped working since that mid-eighties awakening in his hometown of Chicago, creating three decades worth of music that bears his warm, soulful signature. His authority is more or less unarguable (as Dutch label Clone Records put it, he's the "Miles Davis of house music"), but if there's one person who most needs convincing of Larry Heard's genius, it's Larry Heard.
In September 2016, Red Bull Music Academy brought Heard to Australia for the first time to play live shows as Mr. Fingers. A few weeks before the trip, he debuted the show at Dimensions Festival in Croatia, a booking that was years in the making. Heard stopped touring as a DJ in 2012 after damage to his hearing, which makes his return all the more remarkable.
At 57 years old, with nothing left to prove, Heard's humility is not a pose. While he rarely does interviews, we connected on Skype prior to the Sydney show - me in New York, he at home in Memphis, Tennessee, where he's lived since 1997 - to talk about some major news.
I start by telling him that the crowds at Dimensions and the RBMA Weekender will be intimately clued-in to his music. "Oh, okay," he says with palpable relief. "Knowing the music is good. I thought you were going to say clued-in about what the performances should be like, because that'd be scary to me. If at least they know the music, maybe I can slide through it with my ignorance about what's going on technologically right now."
This self-assessment continues throughout our conversation. "Everyone has got to be patient with me," he says of the Dimensions booking. "This old, clueless man in a young world." He has given deep thought to what exactly it means to play live as an electronic artist in 2016, given his touchstones for live performers include the Rolling Stones and Ohio Players. "I'm not doing a DJ set," he says cautiously, "but it won't be a Kool & The Gang show either."
Heard speaks in a calm, even voice, considering each question with focused attention and a streak of playful humour. Early on, he tells me his memory is unreliable ("Even as a kid, I couldn't remember what happened the day before"), but still lucidly recalls the major beats of his career. Several times he refers to himself as a natural musician but a reluctant performer. If he has to play live, he prefers the security of an ensemble. "I was never pursuing performing, I was pursuing musicianship," he says. "I could be in Stevie Wonder's band, but do I want to be Stevie Wonder? Maybe in the studio, not on stage."
Larry Heard didn’t arrive fully formed as a house music disciple. As a kid growing up in Chicago, his music taste was voracious. "I was buying Sly & the Family Stone records when I was nine years old," he recalls. "I had some idea of what a good song sounded like. If I used my lunch money to buy a 45, it must've had real impact."
Disco entered his orbit with Donna Summer and the Bee Gees, both major hitmakers in the 1970s: "They were on the radio, so not knowing them was like not knowing who Beyoncé is now.” Heard's father, whose usual taste favoured jazz luminaries like Sarah Vaughan and Count Basie, came home one day in 1975 with Summer's second album 'Love to Love You Baby', produced by Giorgio Moroder and his studio partner Pete Bellotte. "That was an unusual record for him to bring home," Heard says. "I was like, okay, [title track] 'Love to Love You Baby' has a cool bassline. That's all I had to say back then."
Heard started playing guitar at 15, switched to bass at 16, then settled on drums at 17. "My fingers definitely weren't right for guitar," he says. "Drums flowed naturally for me." Heard taught himself the instrument by playing beats along to records in his collection, and soon he was recruited in bands. He felt most comfortable onstage behind the kit, outside of the "line of fire."
In his early twenties, Heard worked the night shift a couple of blocks from The Warehouse, where resident DJ Frankie Knuckles was weaving house history. "I can't say I heard the music, but I would always see the crowds," he says. "You didn't know if it was a gang or what you were looking at."
Between working nights and playing in bands, Heard didn't have much time for clubbing. He did, however, feel compelled by the nascent energy of house music, and set to work experimenting with a drum machine and synthesiser. His Mr. Fingers alias came vividly to life with 'Mystery of Love'. After sending tapes to labels and hearing nothing back, Heard self-released the track on his Alleviated Records imprint. Both Chicago's reigning DJs Knuckles and Ron Hardy were sent early acetates to play at their respective post-Warehouse residencies—Knuckles at the Power Plant, and Hardy at the Music Box.
With its taut bassline and deep, heady synth setting it apart from the jacking gear prevalent at the time, 'Mystery of Love' swiftly became a sought-after record. In 1986, Heard repackaged the track for a 12" on D.J. International Records, which, alongside Trax Records, was shaping the sound of Chicago house. 'Mystery of Love' still endures in the record boxes of DJs today, while also finding an admirer in fellow Chicagoan Kanye West, who sampled the track this year for his 'The Life of Pablo' cut 'Fade'.
Heard had no trouble following up his breakout record, jumping over to Trax in 1986 to release Mr. Fingers' ‘Washing Machine’ EP. On the A-side were two transcendent house cuts: the title track, and a slow, enveloping instrumental called 'Can You Feel It.' Other takes on this epochal track would follow, but the instrumental version was never bettered. In his quiet, studious way, Larry Heard had made two of dance music's all-time greats.
While Heard shied from the limelight, his path crossed in Chicago with vocalists Robert Owens and Ron Wilson, both born performers. The three men formed the group Fingers Inc. in 1985, specialising in vocal house with strut, swagger, and soul. The bond between Heard and Owens was especially strong. Whatever groove Heard came up with, Owens could write and sing to it. The trio’s only album, ‘Another Side’, came out in 1988 on Alleviated Music, adorned with some perfect cover art. Heard felt comfortable in the group’s live shows, shielded by the exuberance of the frontmen: "Both Robert and Ron are performers, so I all I had to really do is just be there.”
Fingers Inc. disbanded after ‘Another Side’, but Heard kept up his prodigious work ethic, releasing albums under his own name and as Mr. Fingers. His process remained intensely focused. "Some folks can have a whole crowd of people around them, and that just doesn't work for me," he says. "I need to get to a quiet place with myself and the sounds and go from there."
All Heard's productions start from a "stick figure" sketch, whether it's "a simple drum pattern, bassline, chord, or melody." He can make over 20 of these sketches a day, then focus in on the ones with promise. No two tracks adhere to the same template. "I'm definitely all over the place in terms of tempo," he says. "I'm kind of the Quincy Jones school of thinking. It's about ‘the pocket'. Where it feels good, that's where it's good." When Heard buys records for DJing, his natural inclination is to pitch them down. "It feels like the music is running by too fast for me sometimes," he says. "I want to enjoy a nice simmer on the track - I want Crock-Pot, I don't want microwave.”
After moving to Memphis in 1997, Heard continued to make beautifully realised LPs, including ‘Genesis’ and ‘Love's Arrival’. Occasionally he would leave the calm and order of his studio to DJ in clubs around the world. He enjoyed the parties and the warmth of the people, but admits DJing was never something he "specifically pursued - it was just something in my skill set."
In late 2011, Heard identified a problem with his hearing, prompting his decision to quit touring. "I was starting to lose the high frequencies," he says. "In clubs I noticed I was turning my whole body to hear people when they were talking to me." Heard remains unsentimental about the abrupt stop to his DJ life. “I felt my gifts and abilities were better utilised in the studio, where at least your effort is documented for a longer span of time,” he reasons. “With DJing, it’s fun on the night and then it’s over, but people have been enjoying a record like ‘Mystery Of Love’ for 30 years. I went to the Paradise Garage; I went to see Frankie Knuckles at the Power Plant, and I loved it, but once the event was over, it was over. I can still put [Stevie Wonder’s] 'Songs in the Key of Life' on today. That’s the difference.”
While clubs have missed Larry Heard, there’s a silver lining to his sabbatical. Earlier this year, Heard released the 'Outer Acid' EP, his first original material as Mr. Fingers in over a decade. It’s hard not to feel a pang of worry when a revered producer returns after an extended break, but the tracks on 'Outer Acid' are consummate Mr. Fingers, from the meditative deep space adventure evoked on 'Qwazars' to the slow-burning and sensitive deep house cut 'Aether'.
Although Heard initially considered releasing a selection of tracks sitting in his “personal archive", the new music flowed out of him. He’d also planned another EP to closely follow 'Outer Acid', but preparations for the Mr. Fingers live shows is demanding all his energy. “We don’t have the clones we were promised, so if I start one thing, I have to stop another,” he says.
As it currently stands, the live show will see Heard joined by Memphis vocalist Mr. White, his collaborator on 'The Sun Can’t Compare', a record that still ignites dance floors a decade after its release. The set-list will span the Mr. Fingers catalogue from ‘Mystery of Love’ to 'Outer Acid'. "You’ve got to cover the timeline," Heard assures, "because it wouldn’t be fair to leave those old records out."
Still, despite having all that music to draw from, he’s not allowing himself to relax. I tell Larry Heard - the man considered by many to be the greatest-ever house producer - that his devotees might be surprised to learn of his self-doubt. “Well,” he says, not missing a beat, “I could make 'Can You Feel It' or 'Mystery of Love', but I had no control over whether people received them positively. So you just try to, as they say, put your best foot forward.”
I reiterate my feeling that his Mr. Fingers live show, with its roots in the bedrock of Chicago house music, will bring people a whole lot of joy.
“Okay, well, good!” he laughs. “That makes one of us.”
Larry Heard will be back in Australia playing Freedom Time Festival in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. Follow the link for more details.

“The Casual Vacancy” Promotions and Expectations
Aug 22, 2012
USAToday has a new article up discussing the promotion and expectations for J. K. Rowling’s upcoming book The Casual Vacancy. Regarding the promotion, many book-sellers have commented on how “low-key” it is when compared to the promotion for Harry Potter:
“I’ve been in the dark,” says bookseller Kathryn Fabiani, head buyer at R.J. Julia Booksellers in Madison, Conn. “We had no posters ¦ It hasn’t been easy. People are curious, but they don’t know what to expect.” The upcoming release “seems almost invisible.”
“We’ve been taking some pre-orders and we’ve got some activity, but nothing like Harry Potter,” she says. “Nothing.” Although she has ordered 300 copies for the independent bookstore, she suspects they won’t sell out.
Little, Brown marketing director Heather Fain says, “We wanted to be very careful in our marketing. This is a very different book and it is aimed at a truly different audience.” With Harry Potter, she says, booksellers became accustomed to promotional campaigns that included stickers and lightning-bolt tattoos. That approach “just doesn’t fit the book.”
Barnes & Noble vice president for marketing Patricia Bostelman says that Little, Brown’s approach is what the author wants. “Apparently much of their behavior is at J.K. Rowling’s wishes,” says Bostelman. Rowling “has very strong opinions on how she wants publishing of the book handled. ¦ She’s trying not to live on the laurels of Harry Potter and very much wants to have this book stand alone, on its own merit, just as if she were just any other author who was landing on the scene.”
The article also comments on the expectations placed on the book, which will be Rowling’s first adult novel:
“I just think that, just as actors have to overcome type-casting, J.K. is going to have to overcome the style and story that made her famous,” Eckert says.
On the other hand, says Eckert, people who didn’t get the whole Hogwarts gig might enjoy Rowling, the fantasy-free adult edition.
Perhaps it’s not Rowling who has the problem, says Publishers Weekly’s Roback. “I don’t think the transition was necessarily a difficult one for her. She’s a writer, and a good one. I do think it may be difficult for the market and the media to adjust their expectations. Because given her phenomenal success, anything other than a book everyone loves that sells in the millions and millions may be deemed a disappointment, which is unfair to the book and to the author.”
Back in 2007 in an interview with USA TODAY, at the time of the final Potter book, Rowling said she was working on two writing projects, one for children and one not for children. She knew expectations for any new book would be enormous.
“I think that there will be some disappointment if I don’t write another fantasy,” she told USA TODAY. “But I must admit, I think I’ve done my fantasy.”
USAToday also interviewed Leaky’s own Melissa Anelli:
For Melissa Anelli, there is no “maybe” about The Casual Vacancy. “J.K. Rowling is a master of storytelling, and I’m going to read any story she writes,” says Anelli, 32.
Anelli qualifies as an Ã¼ber-fan. She’s calling from the annual Harry Potter Fan Club get-together in Chicago where more than 4,000 Potter faithful gathered earlier this month. Anelli, webmistress of the Harry Potter website The-Leaky-Cauldron.org, wrote the 2008 book Harry, A History, for which Rowling penned the foreword.
You can read the rest of the article here. The Casual Vacancy will be released on September 27th.

I mean, sure we don’t use ribbons for every single present – or even at all – but it’d still be nice to know where it all disappears to…
…I just like whipped cream, man.
And we are entering the perfect season for it.
I’m talkin’ hot chocolate. Pie. Egg nog. The seasonal frappucinos they have at Starbucks.
A glorious time for whipped cream, indeed.
So the last time I wrote something that could be classified as “fanfiction,” I was probably 10. It was some weird Powerpuff Girls meets Little Red Riding Hood piece that only made sense in a 10-year-old logic kind of way. Also drew plenty of fanart – pretty sure I still have some of it logged away somewhere.
Now, the last time I actually wrote period – it’s probably been a few years now? I’ve been telling myself to get back into at some point, I keep coming up with all these ideas – and then I never do anything with them (unless they have something to do with I Draw Walruses). Like, it’s November, so it’s National Novel Writing Month. Told myself this is the year. Aaaaaaand nothing. Nada. No novel.
And then I fell down a rabbit hole into the world of Danganronpa this past week.
No idea why. I had some vague idea of what it was – teenagers trapped in a school being forced into some warped killing game – but like, I think I was watching some random video that featured it and decided to look further into it.
And here we are. I actually sat down and wrote a piece of fanfiction featuring my new favorite character, Gonta Gokuhara (Drew’s fixating on a fictional character again whaaaaat). Who really needed a new ending because I didn’t like the canon one. So I wrote one.
It’s not bad, but I can definitely tell, I’m rusty. But it’s not bad.
And now I have more ideas for Danganronpa fanfiction.
I guess what I needed to write again was a video game about teens killing each other.
I don’t know either.
It’s finally here.
I have officially made it 30 times around the sun.
And I’m not sure quite I’m feeling right now.
I mean, it’s my birthday, so I’m happy and enjoying myself right now, but like, still trying to sort 30 out.
On the one hand, nothing’s changed. I’m still me. It’s just a number. I’ll still carry on as always. There will be new comics to draw and books to read and all that.
On the other hand…it’s thirty. Three decades. Like, I have officially left my twenties behind and am entering something new entirely. A brand new age: my thirties.
I find myself asking the question, “Okay – what now? What do I do? What am I supposed to do?”
I think a better question is “What do I WANT to do?”
And I don’t have a definitive answer.
Well, okay, so I’d like to get back into writing and see where I can take that. Try to get back into exercising. Or maybe develop a new webcomic or something. So I do have some ideas.
But beyond that, it’s a question mark.
I suppose, though, that that’s fine. I mean, I’m always facing question marks and getting through them, right? So, my thirties should be no different.
Still. It’s a tad surreal.
Like this comic.
So time to strap myself in and see what happens as I dive headfirst into this new era.
Should be a time.
This feels like it should be the rule, right?
The moment September hits, we get to say, “Sorry, Summer. But it’s time to go.”
‘Cause I’m ready for Autumn.
The cold. The colors. The holidays. Sweater season.
The thing is, in my part of the country, Autumn doesn’t actually settle in until mid-October. So we’ll be dealing with Summer or something like Summer for a bit longer.
Which is annoying.
Guess I’ll just have to wait it out.
I see you, Thirty.
Trying to sneak up on me like that.
Well, it won’t work!
Sure, it’s suddenly September and my birthday’s in a week. But you still don’t surprise me, Thirty!
I’ll be thirty, flirty, and thriving, you’ll see!
(Author’s note: it’s really more like thirty, uhhhh, and managing, but close enough, right?)
I’m just gonna put it thusly.
There are a lot of very talented people on Instagram who I firmly believe deserve to be seen and not throttled by some algorithm or hidden behind some kind of hidden censor.
And a lot of these people are very good at, um, let’s just say “anatomy.”
I mean, they are good at anatomy for sure. Like, they can draw actual hands. And muscle definition. And everything is more or less proportional.
But, well, ya know. Wink wink, nudge nudge, all that good stuff.
Brought to you by me, just wanting to get home from work on Tuesday, only to be repeatedly thwarted by the shear amount of people who can’t drive or seem to have forgotten how to.
Driving would be easier if it weren’t for other drivers, I swear.
It’s a two-way street, really.
Jeff gets some company in the backyard, and the birds get someone to keep the squirrels away from the birdfeeders.
I dunno, Lars. Judging from how we were this past Sunday when our modem did decide to die following a power outage, it was a bit of a catastrophe.
Also kind of sad.

Orecchiette with Fresh Tomatoes and Sausage
It's one of those dishes I always come back to for more. Best thing is, there is room to tweak it a bit to suit your style. The type of sausage you use will greatly affect the taste of the whole dish. I'm partial to Sicilian-style chicken sausage for this recipe. Garnish each bowl with Parmesan cheese.

The Road Less Taken
Bighorn Canyon, Montana
This disappearing highway in a desolate desert setting, is actually photograph of dried scum on the side of a floating dock that had been taken out of the water for the winter. I’m sure this will end up being the background for a new composite photo–as soon as I can figure out what goes with it. In the meantime, I thought the base scene itself was interesting enough to post.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time over the last few years photographing these dock floats because of the interesting impressionistic scenic landscapes they form. The Fashion Queen has teased me about going to such a scenic place as Bighorn Canyon and spending so much time photographing the likes of these plastic floats. I’m sure it’s resulted in some double takes from people passing by as well.

Only 25% of government bodies making mandatory RTI disclosures: CIC
The Central Information Commission on Wednesday questioned the government bodies with regard to meeting the requirement of mandatory suo-motu disclosures under the RTI Act and said that there was need for 'introspection' as only a little over one-fourth of the 2,276 public authorities have followed statutory guidelines.
New Delhi: The Central Information Commission on Wednesday questioned government bodies with regard to meeting the requirement of mandatory suo-motu disclosures under the RTI Act and said that there was need for "introspection" as only a little over one-fourth of the 2,276 public authorities have followed statutory guidelines.
Under Section IV of the Right to Information Act, a public authority is mandated to publish on its website 17 classes of information about its working and the records held by it so that people need not burden it with RTI applications.
The annual report of the CIC, which was released on Wednesday, shows that only 667 of the 2,276 public authorities have fulfilled the mandatory requirement.
"This needs introspection by Ministry/Department/Public Authorities as to the reasons why despite having good ICT infrastructure available with them, its usages for strengthening the system of mandatory disclosure norms remains unattended," the report said.
The report said that the public authorities with field formations need to assess the quality, citizen friendliness, and the periodicity of dissemination of information so as to institutionalise the disclosure mechanism as mandated under Section IV of the RTI Act, 2005.
"Ultimately, it is the creation of robust and dynamic citizen-government interface through sharing of information that should be talisman of our democracy," it said.
Giving details of the mechanism through which the figure of 667 for the year 2013-14 had been arrived at, the report said that all public authorities have to submit their returns online in a pro-forma prescribed by the CIC.
"In (block V), the Ministries/Departments/Public Authorities have to respond to a query 'Is mandatory disclosure under Section 4(1)(b) posted on the website of public authority?' If the response to the query is yes then Ministry/Department/Public Authorities have to provide detail/URL of webpage where the disclosure is posted," the report said.
It said that the pro-forma also provides for other mode of dissemination if a public authority has not posted the disclosure on its website.
"Only 667 Ministry/Department/Public Authorities have given response in affirmative. This means that 667 Ministry/Department/Public Authorities have posted their mandatory disclosure norms through their websites," it said.
The CPI(M) on Tuesday slammed the CIC ruling on bringing political parties under the RTI ambit as a serious infringement on inner-party functioning and said it cannot accept the order.
Central Information Commission on Friday directed Delhi University and Gujarat University to provide information on degrees earned by Prime Minister Modi
The Central Information Commission (CIC) has directed the government to proactively put in the public domain data about officials facing corruption cases in each department.

AceShowbiz - Rihanna joined forces with Britney Spears to kick off the star-studded ceremony of 2011 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 22. The two female artists steamed up the stage with a live duet of RiRi's raunchy single "S&M".
The Bajan songstress was dressed in a white leather bustier with nearly-thigh high boots, and was joined by Britney toward the end of the steamy performance. The Southern Belle, who lends her vocals to the revamped song, wore an equally naughty outfit, a black vinyl bunny gear.
Next after the steamy duet, "The Hangover" actor Ken Jeong took the stage for a musical number dedicated to the Sin City. The host shared the spotlight with Nicki Minaj and Pat Monahan of Train. Ken played piano and sang a Coldplay song "Clocks?", while Minaj was squirming on top the piano.

OCTOBER 12 — Every school boy, growing up, has that vivid memory of the one afternoon all the girls in his class were taken away for a super-secret talk that he was not invited to. Only for these girls to return later in various degrees of horror, shock or embarrassment — slinking back into place each clutching a bag of “gifts” that they would never ever, no matter how much they begged — show to the boys in their class.
So boys, let me put you out of your misery, here’s what happened that afternoon I was 10 years old and in Primary 5: We were ushered away to a room and made to watch a video on the inner workings of the female body which primarily centred on the shedding of the uterine lining and the need to equip ourselves with feminine hygiene products.
This experience, we were told, was going to be our new “best friend.” For most of our lives, she would visit once a month and stick around for a few days. Of course many of us had already heard of this mythical “period” from our mothers, aunts or know-it-all older sisters but it was still a harrowing experience.
Then we were given a box of the previously mentioned hygiene products and packed off never to be engaged with again on the realities of our sexual health save for the academic, albeit giggle-filled, modules in biology class.
For me, nobody in school ever spoke to me about sexual reproductive health again until 15 years later as an adult doing my Masters in New York City. Not a single person mentioned how a condom worked, the option of a diaphragm or the dangers of the “withdrawal” method — it was simply not discussed.
It’s pretty backwards. But I am not so young and I had simply assumed things had changed. I don’t think it is the purview of the school to encourage or discourage students to have sex — but it is certainly their mandate to empower with knowledge.
So, I was shocked this past week to discover how backwards things are.
A very articulate letter written by a 17-year-old student from Hwa Chong Institution student on the shockingly patriarchal, outdated and thinly veiled Christian agenda of her schools’ “relationship education” session has gone viral.
Agatha Tan penned an open letter to her principal after attending a workshop held by Focus on the Family. Outlining the literature she had been given — which included gems such as “No means Yes” and reducing the female gender to “gals” that need attention. She cleverly pointed out that using outdated and frankly offensive material that labelled all women as needy and all men as testosterone on feet who “don’t want a girlfriend that questions their opinions” was perhaps not a suitable basis for a discussion on relationships in our modern society.
Tan’s letter brings to light much more than Singapore’s innate prudishness. The crude caricatures of clinging, vacillating women and lust-fuelled, wolf-eyed men brings out a deeper issue. Why is it that an openly Christian organisation (www.focusonthefamily.com) was permitted to conduct such a workshops within the secular Singapore school system?
This level of influence challenges the idea of a secular state. Nowhere else is a person more vulnerable to conditioning that at school which is perhaps why groups with social agendas are so keen to gain access. This is a dangerous precedent and one we need to keep in check. And this isn’t the first time such an attempt has unfolded.
In 2009, the Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) programme, held in schools, throughout the island, became the target of criticism. A faith-based group of women alleged that AWARE’s CSE programme in schools was promoting homosexuality and lesbianism. AWARE had been open in its commitment to a liberal and robust approach: criticising the focus on abstinence in sex education as “judgmental” and “biased.”
Shortly after the fiasco, AWARE ceased offering its programme.
The entire episode highlights the excessive influence wielded by a group that represents only a small percentage of Singapore’s population — close to 20 per cent of Singaporeans identify as Christian and less than half this number again would identify as members of hard line evangelical movements.
Yet somehow, despite their absolute numbers this minority has time and time again taken it upon itself to speak and act on behalf of the so-called moral majority. The even more recent Penguin-gate saga is another example of this very narrow base of values seeming to influence the secular civil space.
The Internet is rife with theories as to why this happens: That conservative churches on account of being organised, funded and attended by the educated, wealthy and well-connected wield a disproportionate influence on our state.
And if this is true, one has to ask what is being done to mitigate this influence and strike a balance between the wishes of this vocal minority and the true majority. Because while I suspect many Singaporeans are conservative in their beliefs I don’t think they believe abstinence and “gals” who say no but mean yes is the relationship guidance children should be getting from schools.
* This is the personal opinion of the writer.

Sir William Eldridge, with a step wonderfully light and quick for a man of his years and weight, came out of his brother's garden by a gate that led to a woodland path, and so down a long slope under the thick shade of trees, till the wood gave place to an open meadow bordered by a placid-flowing stream--almost a river. The meadow sloped up to the high woods which enclosed it in a long crescent, but on the other side of the stream was open grass-land, with lines of willows here and there, dykes, and little bits of wooden fences. Cattle were dotted all over it, feeding peacefully in the hot afternoon sunshine, or recumbent on the rich turf. In the distance were more woods, and where the river took a turn and followed the contour of the hill in front, it was seen to be flowing towards a lake of considerable size, to j

How Long Does a Yellow-Sided Conure Parrot Live?
A yellow-sided conure parrot, commonly known as a green-cheeked conure, can live 25 to 30 years in the wild but has an average lifespan of 10 years in captivity. The birds have a lessened lifespan in captivity due to improper care and diet.
Yellow-sided conures are very intelligent and active birds. They can learn simple tricks with training and practice. Conures will exhibit destructive chewing behavior when bored. It is recommended that they are provided with multiple toys to keep them busy. Conures are social birds and require daily interaction from the owner. In the wild, conures live in large flocks, providing socialization; however in a captive environment, the owner must provide socialization for the bird.

For the Nose gear, I made a 10mm mounting block and moved the retract forwards about 50mm and turned it around the other way. Wing Spar Luckily I had left the Wing Spar to ‘later’, so that now with the main gear retracting the opposite direction I could put the Wing Spar right after the retract unit, and sort of close to between the half chord point and the CofG point.
I will add a wing spar of course! You can remove the ESC and heatsink assembly by four screws, then screw the case only down, and then replace the ESC and heatsink assembly.

Dec 23, There is a bit more stuff to do mi-g29 probably about g more in total weight to go, so maybe it will end up about 3. With ball joints at both the servo and control horn ends. This is the whole length of the original plate, but also another 50mm more rearwards because the steering servo will have a mount added on that, rearwards of the retract.
You just need to decide if you want the benefits of Trailing Links versus Straight oleos, and accept that need for an ‘angle’ in the oleo if you use Trailing Link types. So that will mean it should remain over the 1: The stock FlyFly gear mounting blocks are a bit of a joke!!

Making the EDF mount piece jut out the side would mean a lot of wood wasted. Pretty well only the size of the retract itself, and they will rip out very easily on any landing that is harder than a greaser! Images View all Images in thread. Basically it is all a VERY strong assembly in the nose now!
I made a pair of ffoamy. Ru, but i’m sure u already know it as u build yourself the mig 29 by the way nice and clever build!
I used 4mm piano wire, so that I could use the “L” setup method to mount it into the Taileron, but I would have preferred to use 5mm carbon fiber ROD Last edited by gianni sanchez; Nov 06, at It will be interesting to see in this Mig because the fans are ‘free standing’ just like in a test bed – seeing it has 90mm ducting. For the 70mm fan setup, they will have mounts that place them centrally in the 90mm bays and allow ‘blow past’ of any excess airflow coming down the inlets.
For the plywood Fuselage ‘rails’ plates I decided to make them standalone from being combined with the EDF mounts, to save wood. It makes putting the batteries ion very easy But, maybe I will take-off from grass too But i Think this is the price to pay to get this one not boring And don t worry buddy i have some pretty efficient eyes!!

I set it up for the Trailing Link type, but the looks do irk me Sep 11, The mm x 8mm carbon fiber tube fooamy out close to mm into each wing – plenty. And I decided the 4mm piano wire way would work totally fine anyway. Posting Quick Reply – Please Wait. I decided – at that time – that I would make one as ‘full house’ – the original No. Posting Quick Reply – Please Wait.
I want to keep it under 3.

What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses red or near-infrared light to stimulate regeneration and increase blood circulation. It’s normally used to treat the surface of the skin and can be effective in treating a range of issues from arthritis to traumatic injuries.
How Does it Work?
Cold laser technology treats a patient with a hand-held device that emits an energy beam at the skin level, which penetrates deep into the dermis without damaging healthy tissues or causing inflammation. This method is not invasive because it does not involve injections or surgeries; this makes it an ideal treatment option for pets who are unable to undergo surgical procedures due to age or other conditions.
It can also be used on pets after surgery as part of their rehabilitation process. The procedure involves attaching the cold laser device onto your pet’s body following surgery so that it penetrates through layers of skin tissue while stimulating cells within these layers—which helps promote healing in weakened areas (such as ligaments).
The Basics of Cold Laser for Pets
Laser therapy does not cause any pain to your pet. On the contrary, many pups find it relaxing, and some even fall asleep during the procedure!
It provides both physical and emotional relief for various medical conditions in animals. The laser can treat acute injuries to stifle injuries or torn ligaments, but it can also address chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or diabetic neuropathy.
The cold laser stimulates cellular healing in the body by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin (a protein that supports your pet’s connective tissue). This process promotes healing at an accelerated rate.
What Conditions Can Cold Laser Therapy Help Treat?
Laser therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions including:
- Chronic arthritis
- Surgical incisions
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Traumatic injuries
Laser therapy is also beneficial for pets with limited medical treatment options,
- Pets with liver disease who cannot take medications
- Pets who can take a limited number of pain-relief medications
- Exotic pets who are difficult to administer medication to
- Older pets with reduced organ function
When to Book Laser Therapy for Your Pet
If you believe your pet could benefit from cold laser therapy, the team at VIP Animal Hospital is here to help. We work with you to understand your pet’s personality and customize a treatment that best suits their needs. Contact us today to learn more about cold laser therapy for your pet!

*Caution, my OCD-prone nature is about to rear-it's ugly, Excel loving head.
In 2008, I read/listened to fifty books. Of those fifty books, only one was a re-read; The Sunrise Lands by S. M. Stirling. Which means, needless to say, that book is in my top reads list for the year. But seeing as I wanted to do something different this year with my "top reads" list, I did a "net worth" list instead. I ranked books on how much they were worth compared to how much I paid for them. So, with that in mind, let's cover the worst of the year.
The Three Books I Couldn't Finish:
#1 - Winterbirth by Brian Ruckley (cost $1.64 / value $0 = 0%)
#2 - The Disappeared by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (cost $14.95 / value $0 = 0%)
#3 - Roughing It by Mark Twain (cost $0 / value $0 = 0%)
Now, before you roast me for putting Twain in there, he was free, so chill out. And I love Twain, so chill out some more. But I just couldn't stomach this one, so I had to stop reading it. The Disappeared was, well, hard to get into. And Winterbirth had some way crazy names and characters I couldn't follow.
The Lowest Net Worth:
#1 - Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (cost $49.95 / value $2.50 = 5%)
#2 - Dark Lord by Ed Greenwood (cost $14.95 / value $1.95 = 13%)
#3 - The Ancient by R. A. Salvatore (cost $44.95 / value $9.95 = 22%)
Yes, part of me feels shamed that Salvatore, my once all-time favorite author, is on this list, but I think my reading habits have developed beyond puberty now and I'm ready to expand my horizons. At least a little. Brown's book was by far the most disappointing book. I was so hyped after Da Vinci that this like was a limp noodle next to it.
The Highest Net Worth:
#1 - Dies the Fire by S. M. Stirling (cost $5.95 / value $7.95 = 134%)
#2 - Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie (cost $15.00 / value $19.99 = 133%)
#3 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling (cost $39.99 / value $39.99 = 100%)
tie - The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon (cost $39.95 / value $39.95 = 100%)
tie - The Protector's War by S. M. Stirling (cost $14.95 / value $14.95 = 100%)
tie - A Meeting at Corvallis by S. M. Stirling (cost $14.95 / value $14.95 = 100%)
tie - The Sunrise Lands by S. M. Stirling (cost $14.95 / value $14.95 = 100%)
Feel free to call me lame on this list, but hey, they were good books. And yes, Stirling is on the list with four titles. So sue me, I like his work. Chabon's Yiddish book is likely the biggest surprise. Never would have figured it would amount to much but the guy is an artist that paints with words and prose. Abercrombie is, well, the king. Rowling's book was okay, but I really needed that ending. Without it, I think I would have given it a much lower ranking.
Books That Are Worth It:
...but didn't make the list (net worth included)
Winter's Discord by John Zeleznik (95%)
Dead to Me by Anton Strout (94%)
Goblin Quest by Jim C. Hines (94%)
Last Argument of Kings and The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie (85% and 80%)
Beyond Band of Brothers by Major Dick Winters (80%)
Crusade by Taylor Anderson (80%)
The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman (75%)
Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale, illustrated by the un-related Nathan Hale (75%)


Thousands of new homes will be built in central Lincolnshire over the next five years.
The City of Lincoln, West Lindsey, and North Kesteven councils have each set out a strategic approach to delivering new homes in the not too distant future.
The New Homes Strategy applies to private ownership and private rent houses and affordable homes. The strategy is necessary to ensure enough new homes are built to cater to the growing Lincolnshire population.
In Lincoln, there is a target of 719 new homes to be built for private ownership and 713 new affordable homes over the next five years. Additionally, there is a need for 273 new council homes annually to meet the growing demand for council properties.
Chris Morton, resident involvement manager at the city council, said: “We aim to start creating communities again. We want to build spaces where people are proud to live.”
As of October 2018, there were 309 Lincoln council properties that were classed as overcrowded. Councillor Gary Hewson said: “As we build the new properties, the people living in overcrowded properties will be offered new homes”.
Planning permission has been granted for 325 new Council homes on the Queen Elizabeth Road site on Ermine West.
2020 is the centenary of the first Council housing built in Lincoln and the City of Lincoln Council are taking the opportunity to celebrate the important role it has played in the city over the past 100 years.
Mr Morton said: “100 years of council housing allows us to look forward. We have got an opportunity to take a step back and take a look at what our tenants want from us”.
The councils hope that these new builds will have a positive impact on the residents of central Lincolnshire.

Copa América logos
The Ecuador national football team represents Ecuador in men’s international football and is controlled by the Ecuadorian Football Federation. They joined FIFA in 1926 and CONMEBOL a year later. Discarding an invitation to participate in the inaugural 1930 FIFA World Cup held in Uruguay, Ecuador didn’t make their tournament debut until 2002. After finishing above Brazil and Uruguay in the standings, the qualifying campaign marked the emergence of several players, such as Agustín Delgado, Álex Aguinaga, Iván Hurtado, Ulises de la Cruz and Iván Kaviedes, who would set the stage for Ecuador’s achievements in the next decade. Having reached the Round of 16 in a memorable 2006 World Cup campaign, they were expected to deliver at the 2007 Copa América but were eliminated in the group stage. Along with Venezuela, they have not won the continental tournament. La Tri’s best performance was fourth in 1959 and 1993, both times on home soil.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the FEF Logo
The FEF logo is one of the Copa América logos and is an example of the sports industry logo from Ecuador. According to our data, the Ecuador national football team logotype was designed for the sports industry. You can learn more about the FEF brand on the fef.ec website.
Most logos are distributed vector-based. There are several vector-based file formats, such as EPS, PDF, and SVG. Simple images such as logos will generally have a smaller file size than their rasterized JPG, PNG, or GIF equivalent. You can read more about Raster vs Vector on the vector-conversions.com.
SVG or Scalable Vector Graphics is an XML-style markup-driven vector graphic rendering engine for the browser. Generally speaking, SVG offers a way to do full resolution graphical elements, no matter what size screen, what zoom level, or what resolution your user's device has.
There are several reasons why SVG is smart to store logo assets on your website or use it for print and paper collateral. Benefits including small file size, vector accuracy, W3C standards, and unlimited image scaling. Another benefit is compatibility — even if the facilities offered by SVG rendering engines may differ, the format is backward and forward compatible. SVG engines will render what they can and ignore the rest.
Having the FEF logo as an SVG document, you can drop it anywhere, scaling on the fly to whatever size it needs to be without incurring pixelation and loss of detail or taking up too much bandwidth.
You can download the FEF logotype in vector-based SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file format on this web page.
According to wikipedia.org: "A logo (an abbreviation of logotype, from Greek: λόγος, romanized: logos, lit. 'word' and Greek: τύπος, romanized: typos, lit. 'imprint') is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name it represents as in a wordmark."
Logos fall into three classifications (which can be combined). Ideographs are abstract forms; pictographs are iconic, representational designs; Logotypes (or Wordmarks) depict the name or company's initials. Because logos are meant to represent companies brands or corporate identities and foster their immediate customer recognition, it is counterproductive to redesign logos frequently.
A logo is the central element of a complex identification system that must be functionally extended to an organization's communications. Therefore, the design of logos and their incorporation into a visual identity system is one of the most challenging and essential graphic design areas.
As a general rule, third parties may not use the FEF logo without permission given by the logo and (or) trademark owner Copa América. For any questions about the legal use of the logo, please contact the Copa América directly. You can find contact information on the website fef.ec.
