Dr. Jerry Michels, Experiment Station entomologist at Bushland, along with Nagendra Earle, a West Texas A&M University graduate student, began looking at controlling the intruding noxious weed with natural controls about two years ago.
Michels' entomology team travels the highways to Colorado frequently each year to monitor biocontrol work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. At first, they noticed wavyleaf thistle growing in small clumps along roadsides, Michels said, but in the past few years it seemed to be spreading.
Deciding they wanted to look at possible control measures, he submitted a proposal for a grant to the Joe Skeen Institute for Rangeland Restoration. His team received funding for two years.
In spring 2005, Earle began mapping the infestations across the Panhandle. The highest concentrations were found in the northern Panhandle down to U.S. Interstate 40, he said. Wavyleaf thistle has been found along I-40 from New Mexico to Colorado, but not much to the south.
"Our idea was that it was coming in through vehicle traffic, because it is common in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming," Michels said. "Also, thistles love disturbed areas, so any road work could have increased the infestation."
Once it was all mapped, Earle looked for naturally occurring insects that fed off the plant. He found one large beetle that fed on the seed heads, but that beetle was considered an economic pest of sunflowers, so it was undesirable for use as a biocontrol agent, Michels said.
This spring, Earle resurveyed to measure the plant's spread and density, Michels said.
"We're finding it is spreading into pastures and becoming a problem," he said. "We need to continue to monitor it for several years to get a good line on it, but we wanted to start treatments also."
A large patch covering several acres in Hutchinson County was selected as a treatment site, Michels said. Cages were set up with four treatments: no action, mowing, chemical control and biocontrol agents.
The thistle seedhead weevils used for the biocontrol study were collected around Kerrville, where the beetle has been released on wavyleaf thistle with good results, he said. This beetle feeds on the seed heads.
"This preliminary year, the biocontrol seems to be working better than the mowing or chemical control," Michels said.
However, he is going to study a musk thistle rosette weevil used in Colorado to help control musk thistle. This beetle feeds on the root of the plant.
Michels hopes the combination of beetles can control the perennial plant and keep it from resprouting each year.
The musk thistle rosette weevil is found primarily north of Texas where the growing season of thistle is different, Michels said. The problem is trying to gather enough of the beetles in Colorado and bring them to Texas while the plants are still growing.
While the musk thistle rosette weevil hasn't been established in Texas, it has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for use as a biocontrol. Neither beetle is considered a threat to crops.
"Whenever we do biocontrol work, that is our first concern," Michels said.
The ultimate goal is to get both beetles established in cages on roadside wavyleaf thistle plants at high enough numbers so they can be released around the region to naturally spread, he said.
Another part of the study will be to look at a combination of chemical or mechanical methods with the biocontrol using the beetles, Michels said. The hope is a combination will either kill out the plant or weaken it enough to lessen reproduction.

The formation of stars in distant galaxies is still largely unexplored. For the first time, astron-omers at the University of Geneva have now been able to closely observe a star system six billion light-years away. In doing so, they are confirming earlier simulations made by the University of Zurich. One special effect is made possible by the multiple reflections of images that run through the cosmos like a snake.
Today, astronomers have a pretty accurate idea of how stars were formed in the recent cosmic past. But do these laws also apply to older galaxies? For around a...

The quantum world is fragile; error correction codes are needed to protect the information stored in a quantum object from the deteriorating effects of noise. Quantum physicists in Innsbruck have developed a protocol to pass quantum information between differently encoded building blocks of a future quantum computer, such as processors and memories.

Future quantum computers will be able to solve problems where conventional computers fail today. We are still far away from any large-scale implementation,...

With mortgage rates down from summer highs, the North Texas home market ended the year with a small gain in prices but fewer sales.
Dallas-Fort Worth real estate agents sold 6,416 homes during December – about a 6% decline in purchases from December 2022, according to data from the MetroTex Association of Realtors and the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University.
Buy/sell, rent/lease residential &
commercials real estate properties.
Median sales prices last month were $389,945 – a 1.3% increase from a year earlier.
But North Texas home prices were still lower than in 2021 when the median edged above $400,000. Existing home sales prices have more than doubled in the last decade.
D-FW home sales and prices declined in 2023 as mortgage rates soared over the last year.
After peaking at about 8% a few months ago, average mortgage costs are just under 7% for a long-term fixed-rate loan.
Dallas housing analyst Ted Wilson doesn’t see a coming run-up in home prices even if mortgage rates drift lower.
“Affordability remains a significant challenge for prospective buyers, so we only expect modest housing inflation in 2024,” said Wilson, principal with Residential Strategies. “Buyers are unlikely to bid up houses like they did back in 2021 when mortgage rates were much lower.”
The Texas Real Estate Research Center is also anticipating only slight price changes this year.
“We are calling for flat to slightly softer prices by end of 2024 – that is a statewide forecast,” said Daniel Oney, Research Director, with the Texas Real Estate Research Center. “Local results will vary. Austin had the biggest run up, and prices pulled back the most there.
”D-FW had a less dramatic increase and a more modest adjustment after interest rates went up.”
The supply of homes listed for sale with real estate agents in North Texas in December was less than 20,000 – still a thin supply.
“There continues to be a tight supply of existing home listings, which historically has produced an inflationary situation,” Wilson said. “With many homeowners remaining ‘house-locked’ – unwilling to walk away from a 3% to 4% home mortgage – we don’t think the number of new homes coming to the market will change much in the coming quarters.”
A shortage of preowned homes for sale has sent many North Texas buyers to the new home market.
Last year, D-FW builders sold a record 52,600 houses and new home starts in North Texas were up 50% in the fourth quarter.
For all of 2023, real estate agents in North Texas have sold more than 84,000 homes – down from more than 100,000 sales in 2022.
Tarrant County had the largest number of home sales in December with 1,574 houses changing hands. Sales in Tarrant County fell more than 8% from December 2022.
Dallas County was second with 1,410 sales. Dallas County median sales prices for the month were $360,000 – an increase of 9.9% year-over-year and the biggest gain in North Texas.
The highest median prices last month were in Collin County at $475,000. Colin County prices were down about 3% from a year earlier.
Because of large population gains in North Texas, the D-FW market continues to see strong demand for housing. The National Association of Realtors has forecast that D-FW will have one of the best home markets in the country this year.

After missing multiple weeks of action due to COVID-19, Alex Edler will miss the next two games.
The NHL has suspended the Vancouver Canucks defenceman two games for kneeing Toronto Maple Leafs forward Zach Hyman. The incident occurred midway through the second period of Sunday night’s game, resulting in Edler receiving a major penalty and a game misconduct.
Hyman left the game and didn’t return, after the knee-on-knee contact. Edler was fatigued, caught on the ice for a three-minute shift, and hung his leg out to get a piece of the Leafs forward who made a move to get around him.
The suspension will cost Edler $103,448.28 in missed salary, which will go to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
Losing Edler couldn’t come at a worse time for the Canucks, who had to dress two rookie defencemen last game in Jalen Chatfield and Guillaume Brisebois. Defencemen Nate Schmidt and Olli Juolevi missed the game as they are still recovering from COVID-19.
The Canucks and Leafs will play again on Tuesday in Vancouver.

Home is very close to Big Boulder MTN, and Jack Frost MTN ski resort. Very nice kitchen, everything you need was in there. The home is cozy. The gas fireplace was great, easy to use. The game room kept the kids and the adults very entertained. Hot tub was great, used once at sub zero degrees with snow falling. The gas Bar-B-Que was a plus. Looking forward to go back to this home in the near future.
I was pleasantly surprised by the house, as it was not as small as I assumed it would be. It was nice and cozy inside and the hot tub was wonderful outside. The owner was very easy to work with and incredibly kind. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for an enjoyable stay in the Poconos.
We had a wonderful time at this place. We were planning to venture out and do some skiing, but our children got sick. Still, we haven't felt bored in this place at all. It is very cozy with loads of things to do. Kids really enjoyed the loft and all the toys.
The place was clean!
We will come back!
The owner, Mr. Fred was very kind and helpful.
Spent 3 nights in Fred's great house with my family of 4. The game room is a fantastic addition which was used much more than I thought it might be. Basketball shoot and foos ball were big hits with the kids (and adults). House was very clean and the right size for our family, but could easily fit another 4 in there no problem. Fireplace was great and easy to use.
The hot tub is beautiful and clean, however, the chlorine level was much higher than we would like. Our skin was itching and eyes burning after a short time in the water. I understand the need to keep it clean with people rotating through the house, but we were just a little disappointed we couldn't spend more time in there since it was a big draw to renting the house. My wife and I found the master bed a bit uncomfortable (stiff), but that just may be personal preference. It is a king bed, but really just 2 twins together. We knew this going in, just pointing it out for future guests if they didn't notice that in the listing.
If Fred is looking for suggestions for upgrading his already excellent house, I'd consider getting another DVD player, at least for the game area. That had a VCR while the main TV has the DVD player. Kids wanted to pop in a movie they brought (on DVD) while playing up there, just couldn't do it. TVs could also be upgraded at some point too (all console TVs), but we didn't really come there to watch TV. Just a thought as others may care.
House was located close to Split Rock and Camelback, both of which we visited on this trip. Also very close to Jack Frost/Big Boulder. We also hit the small grocery store and a restaurant in the area, both of which were convenient and decent.
Fred was very responsive to questions and deposit returned about a week after our stay.
This house provided the perfect escape on pretty short notice and we loved it. Thanks for having us.
My husband and I chose this little retreat for our annual anniversary vacation.
The home was clean, the kitchen was well stocked for any cook. The game room was awesome and provided hours of intense competition.
The fireplace was cozy! And the Hot Tub was GREAT!
Hiking, biking, whitewater rafting are also available just a couple of miles away. Indoor Water Park at Split Rock Lodge is 10 minutes away & Camelbeach Water Park is less than 30 minutes away. Spend the day in Jim Thorpe and ride the historic railway into the Lehigh Gorge State Park. Shopping at the Crossing Outlet less than 30 minutes away.

The two ladies flew in for some hubby-time, Kareena with Saif obviously, and Genelia with Riteish Deshmukh.
In these stills that have made it to the net, we see Saif Ali Khan and Esha Gupta filming at a swanky mall. Kareena Kapoor looks on from behind the camera, obviously not because she suspects some hanky-panky going on.
Saif is seen carrying shopping bags; Esha Gupta looks gorgeous in a sheath skirt and white top.
Kareena Kapoor is comfily dressed in a yellow suit. She attracted as much attention as the film’s leading lady, if not more.
Director Sajid Khan seems to be handling all the star power on sets with his characteristic cool.
Catch more photos of Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Esha Gupta from 'Humshakals' sets ahead.

Denver will open its first COVID-19 vaccination site, in Montbello, Feb. 18
The community site will help provide vaccinations to the city’s underserved residents.
Feb. 18: This story has been updated with information about the location of the vaccination site.
Denver will open its first COVID-19 vaccine site on Feb. 18, Mayor Michael Hancock said.
The site will open at the Montbello Recreation Center (find more information about signing up for a vaccine here). Other sites — in the northeast, western and southwestern parts of the city — will open shortly thereafter.
The city chose the predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood to target demographics Hancock said have traditionally been underserved, especially during the pandemic. Data released by Denver Public Health in January showed wealthier and whiter neighborhoods had higher vaccination rates for people aged 70 and older.
“Setting up static or permanent sites is going to be critically important to us, where residents can predict and can expect that these sites are there for themselves as we get through the various levels of vaccinations,” Hancock said.
The state recently revised the first phase of its vaccine distribution plan to include people ages 65 to 69, teachers, child care workers and some government workers. City public health executive director Bob McDonald said people in these categories will be able to register to get shots at the city’s community sites. He said more information about the sites will be released next week.
McDonald said vaccines are still in short supply. While the city has requested more dosages, it’s the state that decides where the vaccines go. McDonald said there are about 70 private COVID-19 vaccine providers in Denver, including pharmacies.
Almost 10 percent of Denver residents have received an initial COVID-19 vaccine dose, and 4.5 percent have received a second dose. Statewide, 9.7 percent of residents have received an initial dose, and 3.9 percent have gotten a second dose.
Denver’s cumulative case rate has been trending down since mid-January, after a post-holiday spike. The city’s two-week average positivity is 3.6 percent, while McDonald said hospitalizations and ICU capacity are stable. Last week, Denver cut back some of its COVID-19 restrictions.
During the press conference Thursday, Hancock said Denver is still waiting to be reimbursed from FEMA for its pandemic response. He said the federal government owes Denver “tens of millions of dollars.”
“This has been too slow and too long,” he added.


Do you need a specific type of machine to run Analysis?
question cannot be answered without understanding what is it being utilized
for? Depending on the type of analysis versus size of analysis problem; the
range could vary significantly. In this link I will try to give an over view of
what should be considered.
Having a lot
of RAM on your machine is like having a vehicle with a lot of Horse Power. The
difficult the terrain the stronger the engine should be. In SOLIDWORKS and
COSMOS world that means solving large and complex problems.
Two gigs of
RAM is adequate for solving linear analysis on small assemblies. As you go
higher up the chain, from frequency to optimization tests to flow analysis RAM
will start playing a significant role. On a x32 machine Windows takes benefit
of 4GB RAM. Note: 3GB switch should be activated. On a x64 machine technically
user can go upto 64 GB RAM.
speed as well as number of processors can improve solution time. The main advantage of having multi-core and
multi-processors installed is that if you have many programs running at the
same time your processor won’t get overloaded because there are other
processors to share the load. Having multiple programs running in different
processor cores also makes them more responsive over a single core processor,
because there is little delay while waiting for another program to complete its
or COSMOSFloWorks analysis would see more benefit from the quad core processor
because those programs are more multi-threaded applications. COSMOSFloWorks is
truly multithreaded and even has a batch processing application to allow you to
pick the process cores you want it to run on and keep others open for
continuing work in SOLIDWORKS or other programs at the same time. Currently,
you can install up to two quad core processors on some Intel Xeon based systems
for a total of 8 cores to run processes.
key points to keep in mind
- If you have to choose between RAM and Processor speed, I would go for more RAM.
- Myth: two slower processors perform better than one faster processor. Performance can be gained only if all processors are equally powerful.
- Video Card: Having a very powerful card and not enough RAM can be very detrimental. Video RAM eats of hard RAM.Also, with Real View graphics running a good video card helps with
displaying images sharp and crisp.
are a few links for hardware and graphics cards to take a look at.
hope this gives you an idea what to look for when deciding on a machine to run

In our last “Ask the Futurist” blog post, I discussed how the Internet of Everything (IoE) is working to connect doctors with their patients through electronic medical records. The subject of IoE’s role in the health care industry is a topic I am asked about often. After all, the Internet of Everything has the potential to change almost every aspect of how we live. And perhaps, how long we live.
Today’s question comes from Teren Bryson, director of IT at Zetec. Teren is a cancer survivor, and still in his 30s. He is interested in how technology is impacting health — specifically user-enabled health monitoring through portable biometric devices. Here’s his two-part question:
Question: “How will the Internet of Everything help us manage our own health? For example, when will a wearable device be able to monitor my blood glucose levels or other biometrics in a real-time way?
Answer: That’s a great question. The Internet of Everything is going to help us manage our own health in a couple of different ways.
From a wearable technology perspective, IoE will allow us to get information about our bodies in ways we can’t get them today. It will give us more insight into our own health and vital signs.
We already see several wearable fitness devices in today’s market — including Nike’s FuelBand, Fitbit’s Flex, Jawbone UP, and others — that provide analytics for your eating, sleeping, and movement behavior. In addition, advances in biometric devices are beginning to track blood glucose levels. For example, Alere’s DayLinkMonitor records a participant’s weight or blood glucose values and then reports the actionable data to Alere clinicians. So, in answer to your question, this type of technology is available today.
And there are even more exciting developments right around the corner. The Scanadu Scout, coming out next year, is practically an emergency room in your pocket — enabling you to measure everything from temperature and heart function, to hemoglobin saturation, to stress. Similar to Dr. McCoy’s “tricorder” on the original Star Trek series, it’s a great example of science fiction becoming fact. Also coming in the next few years will be electronic tattoos, with tiny embedded sensors that will pick up temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and even fetal vital signs, directly from your skin. And unlike today’s personal biometric devices, you won’t have to remember to put them on every day — just wear them and forget about it.
It’s also important to discuss how the Internet of Everything is going to virtualize health care resources. As more physicians retire and the population grows, IoE will allow us to receive health care at home and in other places where we don’t receive health care today. This extends beyond wearable technology. Connected pills, connected pill bottles, and connected labs on chips will virtualize health care and scale existing health care resources, creating more opportunities for insightful data.
Will the Internet of Everything help us live longer? It just might.

The King's Calendar' is a computer generated mathematical synchronous chronological presentation of the history of Ancient Israel, as principally recorded in the Biblical books of Kings and Chronicles, and sets forth Apologetics for and the results of R.P.BenDedek's discovery of an "artificial chronological scheme" running through the Books of the Bible, Josephus,the Damascus Documents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Seder Olam Rabbah.
Seder Olam Rabbah (No.1):
A Chronological Study:
First of a Series of Articles on Seder Olam Rabbah.
This particular article is just an introduction to Seder Olam Rabbah that combines two previous short articles and provides some material for those with little knowledge of what the Seder Olam Rabbah is.
This article serves as an introduction to the King's Calendar approach to Seder Olam Rabbah by re-editing the first two notational comments on the Seder Olam Rabbah. To commence reading this series from the beginning of Sedar Olam Rabbah, go to Adam to Joseph : Seder Olam Rabbah (No.2)
This two part article contains the following sections.
2. Creation to the Diaspora in 70 CE
3. Seder Olam Rabbah, Solomon's Temple, and Zerrubabel
4. Further articles in the Seder Olam Rabbah Series.
6. Related Reading
The Missing Years in Seder Olam Rabbah:
Seder Olam Rabbah : Jewish literature of second century A.D. midrashic chronological work, generally regarded as a work of the tanna Jose b. Halafta. [The "tannaim" were the masters of the "oral law," i.e. the men who wrote the Talmud.]
It is a chronological record extending from Adam to the revolt of Bar Kokba in the reign of emperor Hadrian in the 130's A.D.. It is terribly flawed in the chronology it presents--thus the claim that Adam was only created in 3760 B.C. http://www.israelofgod.org/dealing.htm Frank W. Nelte January 1999)
2. Creation to the Diaspora in 70 CE
in relation to the Persian Kingdom.
In Seder Olam Rabbah Part 1 - I directly addressed the issue of the dates for the period from Creation to the Diaspora of 70 CE as it pertains to the reduction of the period of Persian Rule.
3828 years from Creation to the 70 CE destruction of the temple
1656 years from Creation to the flood.
Therefore, from the Flood to 70 CE there are 2172 years.
[These figures are found and can be calculated from within this Jewish Encyclopaeida article. Note however that in following Biblical Chronologies, the total number of years to transpire between the flood and 104 BCE is 2267 years + the years to 70 CE]
Since the KingsCalendar artificial calendar is in evidence as late as 104 BCE, one might 'assume' [state as a fact, something for which there is no actual evidence] that all chronological details provided prior to this time, were in artificial measurements, and everything after that time was in Solar measurement. Therefore: 104 BCE to 70 CE. = 173 Solar years.
To subtract these 173 years from the period "The Flood to 70 AD", results in a figure of 1999 years. If these years be artificial which they most probably are, they convert into 1845 true solar years, meaning that there will be a discrepancy of 154 years between actual history and perceived history.
Rabbi Yose's order is viewed by all authorities as the only accepted Rabbinic count from creation. But there is a difference of 170 years between Rabbinic chronology and conventional chronology. Conventional chronology states that the Persians ruled Israel from 539 BC to 332 BC (207 years). Rabbinic chronology says the Persians ruled for 52 years.]
Since the historical records of Israel will have taken precedence over the profane, it would have been necessary to compress secular history. [The reverse happens today]. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Persian Period (539-332 BCE), measuring approx. 207 years was reduced to 52 years, a discrepancy of 155 years.
Put another way, the lengths of various events in Israel's past, being artificial, extended time, which is to say, that they took up too much time in history. Trying to marry the chronological information with the profane (secular) sources, meant that the secular information had too much chronological data, and therefore must have been wrong.
However, from the King's Calendar chronological perspective, these 154/155 years would not have been removed, had the Author of the Seder Olam Rabbah known that the Israelite information was artificial.
The particular point made in this section, is that one possible explanation for time discrepancy, might be found in the use of an artificial construct (Biblical Chronology) to measure Real History (Solar years). [In Relation to the actual times specified between Creation and 70 CE. A closer chronological examination will be presented in another section at a later date].
In the article entitled: Parshat Terumah (1 Kings 5:26-6:13) February 12, 2005 the discussion involves itself with the question of 1 kings 6:1 chronologically connecting the Exodus to the 4th year of Solomon (when he commenced to build the temple), and not Creation. For a Discussion on 1 Kings 6:1 and the 480 years, See:
The point made is that the Seder Olam Rabbah wishes to present chronological symmetry, in that 480 years elapsed between the Exodus and the commencement of Solomon's Temple, and 480 years elapsed unto Zerrubabel's commencement of the Temple's restoration.
In this section, we are going to examine the details to see if the claim is true.
480 Years - The Parameters:
Solomon's temple & Zerrubabel's temple.
Checking the parameters of the Seder Olam Rabbah chronology, against the King's Calendar Reconstruction of Israelite History, demonstrates that the claim that 480 years elapse between the two events is Valid, but not quite in the way it was intended.
King's Calendar Chronology for The Two Temples:
The King's Calendar Dates for Solomon are:
Line 419 973 BCE - 1st Year of Reign
Line 416 970 BCE Solomon's 4th year Temple commences.
Line 409 964 BCE Solomon's 11th year Temple completed.
Go to Appendix 12 (Josephus) on the precis page. It contains King's Calendar Line Nos (left column), artificial years, and all calendar years from 104 BCE to 1941 BCE. You can use this chart to check all mathematical calculations cited in this article.
Measuring 480 years from Solomon's Temple.
To measure 480 years from Solomon's Temple, we have to measure from both the commencement and completion years, and measure in both artificial and solar years.
Commencement of the Temple 970 BCE 480 solar years = 490 BCE Completion of the Temple 964 BCE 480 solar years = 484 BCE
Neither of the resultant dates seems to relate to Zerrubabel's Temple building.
(The year 586 BCE on the King's Calendar is Line '00' . The following calculations must use Line '00' as an additional year.)
Commencement of Solomon's Temple 970 BCE (Line 416) 480 artificial years = Line 63 = 528 BCE Completion of Solomon's Temple 964 BCE (Line 409) 480 artificial years = Line 70 = 522 BCE
Commencement of Zerrubabel's Temple: 522 BCE
522 BCE (Line 70 on the King's Calendar) when building of the Temple recommenced, is 480 artificial years after Solomon completed the first temple. (522 BCE = Line 70 down to Line '00' up to Line 409 (964 BCE) = 70 + 1 + 409 = 480)
Using non King's Calendar Figures.
Since only the King's Calendar can provide a mathematical justification for it's placement of King Solomon's reign, and the figures used above come from the King's Calendar, the only way to calculate a 480 year period between Solomon's Temple and the Post Exilic Temple, is to calculate back from either 522 BCE (commencement) or 516 BCE (completion) of Zerrubabel's Temple.
522 BCE + 480 solar years = 1002 BCE which is far too early by currently accepted standards for Solomon's Reign. 516 BCE + 480 solar years = 996 BCE, which is still too early.
The King's Calendar calculation seems to be the only one that makes a 480 year connection between the two events. The 480 years appear to transpire between the completion of Solomon's Temple, and the Commencement of Zerrubabel's Temple.
But using the King's Calendar Artificial Calendar is not the only way to calculate it.
Mixture of Artificial & Solar Years
A: - In Mixed years Artificial & Solar years
From Solomon's 4th year 970 BCE Line 416 to and including 586 BCE Line 00 there are 417 years. From 585 BCE to 522 BCE = 63 Solar Years.
This appears to be the most likely explanation of the 480 years mentioned in Seder Olam Rabbah.
B:- In Mixed years - Artificial & Solar
From Solomon's 1st yearLine 419 973 BCE to the Fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE Line 00, 433.5 Biblical years transpire, leaving 46.5 Solar years to transpire until 539 BCE
This takes us to the time of Cyrus, not the rebuilding of the Temple.
The figure '480 years' from these perspectives, will be seen to be a mixture of Artificial and Solar Years.
A problem Arises
Despite the foregoing King's Calendar Artificial chronological presentations, the King's Calendar Chart (which synchronises the Biblical data for the Divided Kingdom Period), demonstrates that the biblical data includes 13.5 years overlapping years. (12 year for Uzziah, 1 year for Jotham & Ahaz & 6 months for Jehoiachin and Jehoahaz) Check Appendix 5 reconstruction for the Divided Kingdom.
Therefore, the 480 years which were measured on the King's Calendar in the foregoing section, are recorded in the Biblical Narratives as 493.5 years. For those calculations to be correct, the excess 13.5 years would have to have been known to the writer of Seder Olam. This I doubt.
We must therefore recalculate the period of 480 years, using the unadjusted biblical data.
Using the Biblical Chronological References Consecutively: including the 13.5 years of overlapping reigns
Note: There are 393.5 years listed in the Biblical Narratives from Rehoboam to Zedekiah.
6 Projections: 3 using Artificial year & 3 using Solar years.
1. No Relevance from Solomon's 1st year.
Calculating from Solomon's 1st year to 586 BCE Babylonian Exile (393.5 + 40 =) 453.5 years. Deducting these from 480 years = 26.5 years left until Zerrubabel's Temple.
From 586 BCE deduct 26.5 Artificial years = 561/562 BCE
From 586 BCE deduct 26.5 Solar years = 559 BCE
There appears to be no Relevance.
2. Some Relevance from Solomon's 4th year. (Commencement of the Temple)
Calculating from Solomon's 4th year. (393.5 + 36 =) 429.5 years. Deducting these from 480 years = 50.5 years
From 586 BCE deduct 50.5 Artificial Years = 539 BCE indicating Cyrus & Babylon.Relevance
From 586 BCE deduct 50.5 Solar Years = 535 BCE No Relevance
The 480 year period has relevance to the Fall of Babylon, but not to Zerrubabel's Temple.
3. Some Relevance from Solomon's 11th year (Completion of the Temple)
Calculating from Solomon's 11th year (393.5 + 29 years = ) 422.5 years Deducting these years from 480 years = 57.5 years.
From 586 BCE deduct 57.5 Artificial Years = 533/534 BCE No relevance
From 586 BCE deduct 57.5 Solar Years = 538 BCE Relevance to Cyrus & Babylon
Again no relevance to Zerrubabel, but there is relevance to the fall of Babylon.
480 solar years do not elapse between Solomon and Zerrubabel.
Only if the author of Seder Olam Rabbah knew that the Biblical Data contained an excessive 13.5 years (which I doubt), could 480 artificial years elapse between Solomon's Temple and Zerrubabel's Temple.
It is possible that the 480 year figure is a composite mix of solar and artificial years.
The STATED parameters within the Seder Olam Rabbah are incorrect,
Using the King's Calendar chart (which cause 13.5 years to disappear), one can see that between the Completion of Solomon's Temple and the Commencement of the 2nd Temple, 480 artificial years transpire.
Likewise, it can also be determined that 480 mixed years transpire between Solomon's 4th and both Cyrus' conquest of Babylon - or - 522 BCE to the Commencement of the 2nd Temple.
Likewise, it can also be determined that 480 mixed years transpire between Solomon's 11th year and Cyrus' conquest of Babylon.
Likewise, it can also be determined that 480 mixed years transpire between Solomon's 1st year and Cyrus' Conquest of Babylon.
I cannot at this time explain how the Seder Olam Rabbah figure was established, because as the King's Calendar artificial reconstruction removes the excess 13.5 years of overlapping data, one cannot be sure what the Reb was working from, whether it is calculated purely in artificial year or a mixture of artificial and solar years, and what it's intended parameters were. Nevertheless, the 480 year figure is quite significant.
4. Further articles in the Seder Olam Rabbah Series.
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, my first foray into this field of study, was meant as nothing more than an interesting aside; and observation of some connection between the artificial chronology and the data in the Seder Olam Rabbah.
Having now looked a little more closely, I have decided to investigate even further, and have begun to publish further articles. That list appears after the Bibliography.

Footnote Commentary on the King's Calendar
King's Calendar Chronological Research
The Premise: Between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE (but continuing down to at least 104 BCE), Sectarian redactors transcribed the legitimate 'solar year' chronological records of Israel and Judah, into an artificial form, which listed years as each comprised of 12 months of 4 weeks of 7 days, or 336 days per year, thus creating a 13th artificial year where 12 solar years existed.
When the Synchronous Chronological Data provided in the Books of Kings and Chronicles for the Divided Kingdom Period are measured in years of 336 days, the synchronisms actually align. [Refer to Appendix Five to see how it synchronises the Divided Kingdom Period]
The formula for constructing the artificial calendar
'X' times 364 = 'Y' days
'Y' days divided by 336 = 'Z' artificial years.
'X' = any given number of 'real/solar' years
364 = perceived days in the sectarian calendar
'Y' = number of days calculated
336 = number of days in an artificial year
'Z' = artificial years = 1.083'X' and represents the original number of the converted years plus 8%.
To reverse the process by hand: 'Z' years times 336 equals 'Y' divided by 364 = the Original Number of 'X' years converted.
To see how effective this method is view Appendix 5:
The Principle of Linear Causality
The King's Calendar is a very simple approach to Biblical Chronology. It substitutes a value of 336 days for every year listed in Scripture. As far as the Divided Kingdom is concerned, when you use this 336 day year value, the synchronisms actually work. Appendix 5:
Because it is a mathematical system, the King's Calendar must abide by certain mathematical rules, the most important of which, is that if you change any date for any day, month, or year every other day, month, or year is effected and must also change. It's like a 'domino effect'. Chronological references cannot be 'forced' to fit, and nor can they simply be ignored or 'compressed' as is the usual case with historians and archaeologists.
If any King's Calendar chronological determination disagrees with anything in the history books, it must argue the case as to why the history books are wrong, or why the evidence for an assertion is untrustworthy. If the King's Calendar successfully defends its' position, then the history books cannot be treated as definitive, and if the King's Calendar is 'proven' wrong, then every other chronological reference it provides is also wrong.
Because of this, the King's Calendar Chronological Reconstruction of Israel's history is unique, in that its' methodology can be scientifically (mathematically) tested and demonstrated to be either true or false. Its' chronological predictions are able to be 'proved' or 'disproved'.
Solar Year Calculations
The Biblical Data as it stands, exceeds available history for the parameters it sets. The KingsCalendar, which assigns each Biblical Year a value of 336 days, reduces the overall Biblical Data by roughly 8%.
When working in Solar Years, many problems arise.
For example, Counting from 586 BCE to 701 BCE in literal Solar Years makes:
a). 701 BCE Hezekiah's 24th year not his 14th year.
b) 702 BCE Hezekiah's 23rd year
c) 703 BCE Hezekiah's 22nd year
d) 713 BCE Hezekiah's 12th year
e) 722 BCE (Fall of Samaria) Hezekiah's 3rd year not his 6th year.
f) 724 BCE (Siege of Samaria) Hezekiah's 1st year not his 4th year.
g) 729 BCE Ahaz' 12th year
h) 730 BCE Ahaz' 11th year
i) 730 BCE Hoshea of Samaria 1st year
j) 734-732 BCE Syro-Ephraimic War Ahaz & Pekah.
k) 740 BCE Ahaz' 1st year.
However When working in Solar years counting down from the accepted date for the commencement of the reigns of Jehu (Israel) and Athaliah [Judah], that is, from 841 BCE to 701 BCE, the following is the result.
a) 701 BCE = Ahaz 13 th year
b) 702 BCE Hoshea commences to rule in Samaria
c) 703 BCE Pekah's 28th year.
d) 713 BCE Ahaz' 1st year (18th of Pekah)
e) 722 BCE Jotham's 8th Year & Pekah's 9th Year
f) 724 BCE Jotham's 6th Year & Pekah's 7th Year
g) 729 BCE Jotham's 1st year & 2nd Year of Pekah
h) 730 BCE Uzziah's 52nd year
i) 730 BCE Pekah's 1st year
j) 734-732 BCE Syro-Ephraimitic War must have been fought by Uzziah.
k) 740 BCE Uzziah's 42nd Year & Menehem's 4th year.
Result: Solar Year Calculations are insufficient to understand Biblical and Extra Biblical Chronology.

Well about time I posted something I guess. Have been in Sydney for the last 4 days with work commitments, but have found the time to get out and shoot a little in the mornings and evenings. Last night may of been the best light so far as the previous outings provided nothing but pretty bland sunrises and sunsets, pretty much a bust.
Driving up to Terrigal this morning you could see some nice fluffy white clouds on the distant horizon and checking the weather radar and forecast things could be looking nice for the 4 days of shooting the Central Coast.
Off to scout a location to shoot this evening right after writing this entry. Tomorrow morning location is already set in stone. Low tides and a 6am dawn to meet up with Brent Pearson his father and Oat for a shoot up at Forresters I cant wait and will no doubt have trouble sleeping tonight being the night before xmas for us landscape photographers 😉
7.20pm Update : Just back from a shoot WHAT A FREAKIN SUNSET! Sweet location, sweeter light and not one freakin person on the beach … just me sceaming out F*#K YEAH at another nice capture after another 🙂

I was curious to see the world from their perspective and gain insight into the environment my classroom creates. It was fun to get my students involved. I feel like the process was inverted a bit though. Rather than using empathy to design my video I used my video to create empathy in me. The stimulus of a simple line. Students surround you. Waiting for your turn. Uncertainty and expectancy. I got a real sense of the stimulus my students are experiencing. That empathy helps me to reflect on my own classroom management. Am i doing enough to assist my students with the sensory and asthetic of school? Are there changes I could make to help my students who struggle with attention? These are questions I'm still answering.

Amazon Prime Video Web Series The Family Man Season 2 Directors Raj and DK have responded to the call to ban the series, Given that assumptions are made based on some shots in the trailer. Requesting people to wait for the show, They said that ‘A sensitive, Balanced and exciting story‘ Extreme pains have been taken to present. The same statement has been shared by the actors of the show including Manoj Bajpayee and Sharib Hashmi on their social media handles.
on Monday, The Tamil Nadu government had requested the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for The Family Man season to be allegedly negatively portrayed by Eelam Tamils 2 The release of either has to be stopped or banned. In a letter to Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar, Tamil Nadu IT Minister T Mano Thangaraj said that the trailer presented the Tamils in a “highly objectionable manner” and that the Eelam in Sri Lanka was an attempt to discredit the Tamils’ struggle.
Raj and DK said in the statement, “Some assumptions and impressions have been made based on just one or two shots in the trailer. Many of our main actors as well as key members of the creative and writing team are Tamil. We are very familiar with the feelings of Tamil people and Tamil culture and have nothing but the utmost love and respect towards our Tamil people. “
Requesting everyone to watch the show first, They said, “We’ve worked hard for years on this show, And we have a sensitive, Worked hard to bring a balanced and interesting story – Just like we did in season one. 1 of the show We request everyone to wait and watch the show’s release. We know you will appreciate it after seeing it. “
Tamil Nadu minister in his letter, The Family Man 2 ‘S trailer pointed to the portrayal of actor Samantha Akkineni. They said, “Branding Tamil-speaking actress Samantha as a terrorist in the serial is a direct attack on the pride of Tamils living around the world and no one will tolerate such an inspired and mischievous campaign. “
“The family man in your attention 2 Serial malleable, I would like to bring inappropriate and malicious content in Hindi, In which Eelam Tamils are depicted in a highly objectionable manner. Trailer of the above serial which was released on social media network, The purpose of which is to discredit and distort the historical conflict of Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka.
Earlier, Rajya Sabha MP Vaiko also wrote a letter to Prakash Javadekar, demanding a ban on the telecast of the show on Amazon Prime Video. The series 4 OTT is scheduled to be released on June.

These stools are designed to fit the cushions listed in the Materials section. If you use different size cushions, adjust the part lengths accordingly. The Cutting List and Cutting Diagram show parts for one stool.
Cut the aprons (A) to length (Project Diagram, Cutting List, Cutting Diagram). Position the aprons in a “pinwheel” orientation (one end of an apron butted against the mating apron and the other end overlapping the end of the next mating apron). Drill countersunk pilot holes, apply waterproof glue and drive 2-inch deck screws (Project Diagram, Drawing 1).
Where the screw holes are very close to the ends of the parts—about 3/8 inch in this step—drill countersunk pilot holes to prevent splitting when driving the screws. When drilling the pilot holes, only drill through the face of the overlapping apron and not into the end of the mating one. The screws will drive easily into the end grain without a pilot hole and will hold more securely.
Cut the wide uprights (B) and narrow uprights (C) to length (Project Diagram, Cutting List). Glue and screw together pairs of uprights to form four legs (Project Diagram, Drawing 2). Set the legs aside.
For easy leg assembly, apply glue to the edge of the narrow upright. Position the wide upright on the narrow upright, supporting the wide upright with 1 x 3 scrap. Screw the legs together.
Measure the inside dimensions of the apron frame and cut the seat panel (D) to size, making a close fit (Project Diagram, Cutting List). Place four 13/16-inch-thick blocks under the seat panel and slide the apron frame over the panel. (Raising the seat panel on the scrap blocks creates a recess to hold the cushion in place.)
Retrieve the legs. Apply glue and position the first leg in the inside corner of the apron (A) frame with the end of the leg resting on the seat panel (D). Fasten the leg to the frame with 1 1/4-inch deck screws (Project Diagram, Drawing 2). Repeat with the remaining three legs, orienting them so the wide uprights of each pair of legs face outward on opposite sides of the apron frames. This orientation gives you a symmetrical appearance on each side of the stool. On two opposite sides, only the faces of the wide uprights (B) are visible. On the other two opposite sides, the edges of the wide uprights and the faces of the narrow uprights (C) are visible.
Turn the stool right side up. Drill countersunk pilot holes through the seat panel at each corner and screw the panel to the legs (Project Diagram, Drawing 2).
Like the aprons (A), the stretchers (E) are installed in pinwheel fashion (Project Diagram, Drawing 1, Drawing 2). To determine the stretcher length, hold a 1 x 4 scrap against the inside of one leg and measure from the inside face of the opposite leg to the inside face of the scrap. Cut the stretchers to length (Project Diagram, Cutting List).
Measure the stretcher length close to the apron. This way, slightly splayed legs will be pulled into alignment when the stretchers are installed.
Drill countersunk pilot holes at the end of each stretcher (E). Orient the stretchers in pinwheel fashion (same as the aprons) and screw together the stretcher frame (Project Diagram, Drawing 1).
Place 13/16-inch-thick scraps under the stretcher frame at each corner and slide the seat/legs assembly over the frame. Clamp the frame in place.
Drill pilot holes through the stretchers (E) from the inside and fasten the stretchers to the legs with 1-1/4-inch deck screws (Project Diagram, Drawing 2).
To prevent splinters, sand slight bevels on all exposed edges and corners. Remove the sanding dust and apply an exterior sealer/stain to all parts, double-coating all exposed end grain. Triple-coat the bottoms of the legs. With the finish dry, nestle a cushion in the seat recess.

PlotHer youth in Allora, Queensland in 1906 is depicted through flashbacks, and is shown to be the inspiration for much of Mary Poppins. Travers was very close to her handsome and charismatic father Travers Robert Goff (Colin Farrell), who fought a losing battle against alcoholism.Upon her arrival in Los Angeles, Travers is disgusted by what she feels is the city’s unreality, as well as by the naïve optimism and intrusive friendliness of its inhabitants, personified by her assigned limo driver, Ralph (Paul Giamatti).At the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, Travers begins collaborating with the creative team assigned to develop Mary Poppins for the screen, screenwriter Don DaGradi (Bradley Whitford), and music composers Richard and Robert Sherman (Jason Schwartzman and B.J. Novak respectively). She finds their presumptions and casual manners highly improper. She meets Disney in person, and he is jocular and familiar from the start, but she remains unfriendly.Travers’ working relationship with the creative team is difficult from the outset, with her insistence that Mary Poppins is the enemy of sentiment and whimsy. Disney and his associates are puzzled by Travers’ disdain for fantasy, given the fantastical nature of the Mary Poppins story, as well as Travers’ own richly imaginative childhood existence. Travers has particular trouble with the team’s depiction of George Banks, head of the household in which Mary Poppins is employed as nanny. Travers describes Banks’ characterization as completely off-base and leaves the room distraught. The team begins to grasp how deeply personal the Mary Poppins stories are to Travers, and how many of the work’s characters are directly inspired by Travers’ own past.Travers' collaboration with the team continues, although she is increasingly disengaged as painful memories from her past numb her in the present. Seeking to find out what’s troubling her, Disney suggests the two of them go to Disneyland. The visit to Disneyland, along with Travers’ developing friendship with her limo driver, the creative team’s revisions to the character of George Banks, and the insertion of a new song to close the film, help to soften Travers. Her imagination begins to reawaken, and she engages enthusiastically with the creative team.This progress is upended, however, when Travers realizes that an animation sequence is planned for the film. Travers has been adamant from the start that any animated sequences would be unacceptable. She confronts and denounces a protesting Disney, angrily declaring that she will not sign over the film rights and returns to London. Disney discovers that Travers is writing under a pen name. Her real name is Helen Goff, and she’s actually Australian, not British. Equipped with new insight, he departs for London on the next flight, determined to salvage the film. Appearing unexpectedly at Travers’ residence, Disney opens up—describing his own less-than-ideal childhood, while stressing the healing value of his art—and urges her to shed her deeply-rooted disappointment with the world. Travers relents and grants him the film rights. In London in 1961, financially struggling author Pamela "P. L." Travers (Emma Thompson) reluctantly agrees to travel to Los Angeles to meet with Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) at the urging of her agent Diarmuid Russell (Ronan Vibert). Disney has been courting Travers for 20 years, seeking to acquire the film rights to her Mary Poppins stories, on account of his daughters' request to make a film based on the character. Travers, however, has been extremely hesitant toward letting Disney bring her creation to the screen because he is known primarily as a producer of animated films, which Travers openly disdains.Three years later, in 1964, Mary Poppins is nearing its world premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Travers has not been invited because Disney fears that she will give the film negative publicity. Goaded by her agent, Travers returns to Los Angeles, showing up uninvited in Walt Disney’s office, and finagles an invitation to the premiere. She watches Mary Poppins initially with scorn, reacting with particular dismay to the animated sequence. She slowly warms to the film, however, and is ultimately surprised to find herself overcome by emotion, touched by the depiction of George Banks’ redemption, which clearly possesses a powerful personal significance for her.

Marcel's screenplay is listed in film executive Franklin Leonard's 2011 Black List, voted by producers, of the best screenplays that are not in production. According to the 40th Anniversary DVD release of the film in 2004, Disney had been working since the 1940s to acquire the rights to the book that was written in 1934, as a promise to his two daughters, but Travers had great misgivings about how her stories would be filmed. She finally relented and allowed Disney to film the story but was so disappointed with the animated portions of the film that she refused to allow any other stories to be filmed.
Although some of the filming was originally to be in Queensland, Australia, all filming took place in the Los Angeles area, including Disneyland and at the Walt Disney Studios. Filming was completed around Thanksgiving 2012, and the film was released on December 20, 2013.
For the Disneyland sequences, Disney blocked off certain parts of the theme park from November 6 to 7, 2012 (such as Disney's California Adventure and Sleeping Beauty Castle, the former of which didn't exist yet). The park's cast members and several hundred guests were also hired as extras.
- For the presence of some disturbing images, the movie was rated PG-13, becoming in the eighth Disney film in receive this rating but the fourth not from the Pirates of the Caribbean films, after Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, John Carter, and The Lone Ranger.
- The film premiered one month after the death of Walt Disney's daughter Diane Disney Miller.

If you look around on blogs, forums and other websites on the subject of Apple and technology, you will occasionally stumble across the abbreviations Mac and MAC. While the former describes an Apple computer (“Mac” is short for Macintosh), the latter refers to a device’s OSI network address (“MAC” stands for Media Access Control). But since I often read about an Apple MAC, an IMAC or even a MACbook, I wanted to put some order into the terminology here. So you know what the two words mean and how to spell them.
Chapter in this post:
The Apple computer: Mac is short for Macintosh
While Apple released the Apple I, the Apple II and the Apple Lisa in various versions from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s, the Macintosh was also added to the range in January 1984. After the initial Macintosh 128K, several other versions and forms of this computer came out, such as the Macintosh Plus in 1986, the Macintosh SE/30 in 1989 or the Macintosh LC 580 in 1995. In addition, from 1992 to 1997 the "Macintosh Performa" - series and from 1994 to 1998 the "Power Macintosh" series.
The abbreviation “Mac” for Macintosh was long established back then. It is therefore not surprising that Steve Jobs took up this nickname after his return to Apple and associated it with the Internet capability of that computer, which was to re-establish Apple as a stable company in the market. This is how the iMac, which was introduced in 1998, came about. After the iMac came the eMac, the Power Mac, the Mac mini, the Mac Pro, the Mac Studio, and so on. The "Macintosh PowerBook" temporarily became the "iBook" and eventually the MacBook. In short: If we are talking about an Apple computer, this is written as Mac.
The network address: MAC in the OSI model
In a network, a device can have a so-called MAC address have. But that doesn't mean that the device has to be an Apple computer. Because the MAC written in capital letters does not stand for Macintosh, but for "Media Access Control" or "Media Access Code". MAC refers to device addressing in a network, so that requests and data packets are clearly assigned and only sent to the device intended for them. The MAC address is therefore part of the second layer in the OSI model (OSI = Open Systems Interconnection).
The OSI model is a reference model that divides communication in computer networks into seven layers. Each layer is responsible for specific functions and tasks and works together with the neighboring layers to ensure the smooth exchange of data between different systems. It is not the only one of these models, e.g. For example, there is also the TCP/IP model in the Internet protocol family. Here the system is not assigned a MAC address, but an IP address. So you can remember the capital letters for the notation of the OSI addressing of a network device: MAC.
Find out the MAC address of the Apple Mac
If you use your Mac e.g. B. integrated into a WLAN, then it has a MAC address in addition to the IP address. To find out what this is in the wireless network, you have to go through the system settings again. There you select the actively used WLAN and then look for the hardware information. Away macOS 13 Adventure and the design of the system settings that was introduced with it, it works like this:
- Click on the in the top left Apple logo () on the menu bar
- Choose from its menu System settings ... from
- In the left sidebar you now call the point WiFi on
- Click on the "Details..." button next to the network you are currently using
- Choose in the window on the left Hardware off, on the right you will find the MAC address
Alternatively, you can hold down the Option key (or Alt or Option) and click on the WLAN symbol in the menu bar. The connection name and address are then displayed under the WLAN switch. Address means the MAC address of your Apple computer. So if you don't want to go through the system settings, you can use this shortcut.

The magazine is running with a new story that’s even funnier than the constant pregnancies they claim Jennifer has had over the course of nine years. I can’t believe she still hasn’t given birth.
Anyway, according to the tabloid mag Aniston and Justin set a wedding date this month in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They flew out all their pals and family members — long story short, when it came down to tying the knot, Justin didn’t show up, reportedly having changed his mind at the last minute.
Jennifer, who stood in her wedding gown waiting for her partner to show up, was left saddened when she would later realise he wasn’t going to show up. Life & Style links this story with other reports they’ve made in the past, claiming Justin and Jennifer never really clicked.
Jennifer was sticking around with Justin to prove to the world that she’s over Brad. She’s supposedly trying to prove a point to the world that she’s finally moved on… nine years after her divorce from the actor who’s now happily engaged to Angelina Jolie.
Life & Style has hilarious stories every now and then but this just tops it. Jennifer alone on her wedding day as Justin Theroux makes a runner? Couldn’t they have just faked another pregnancy story of Aniston?

While wall-frame molding can create an elegant and sophisticated look, it can also pose logistical problems when it comes to decorating. Framed artwork and photographs can look awkward, but often walls look bare with no adornment. The answer? A painted design adds character and panache without overwhelming a room. This simple twig design was first outlined in chalk and then painted over to create a delicately natural decor.

Surf-loving dad-to-be Matthew McConaughey is taking his love for the beach one step further, by creating his own clothing line, Us Weekly reports. Matt is calling the line “Just Keep Livin’,” his personal mantra and production company title and His inspiration for the line? Himself, in part. “There’s a perception of me as a beach guy,” the actor has said.
Matt’s rep calls the line, which will offer anything and everything for the beach, T-shirts to swimsuits to Frisbees, “a one-stop shop for every-thing you need for the beach.” Matt’s clothing will be available through this website, www.matthewmcconaughey.com sometime this summer.
Though, I wonder when Matt will get a chance to wear his togs, considering he is expecting his first child this summer, with his girlfriend, Brazilian model Camila Alves, 25. Hopefully, he will be making some surf-style burp cloths!
