Malthus’s Early Life and Education
Thomas Robert Malthus (1766–1834) was born in the small town of Westcott, near Dorking, southwest of London, in Surrey County, UK.
His father was a gentleman of independent means. The young Thomas was educated at home and at local private schools.
In 1784, Malthus entered Cambridge University’s Jesus College. While at Cambridge, he won prizes for English declamation, Latin, and Greek, in addition to graduating with honors in mathematics.
In 1789, Malthus was ordained a priest of the Church of England and received a living in Wotton, Surrey, quite near his family home in Westcott. However, he continued his higher studies, receiving his master’s degree from Cambridge in 1791, and two years later becoming a Fellow of Jesus College.
Malthus’s first intellectual efforts were directed towards what we would now call demographics. In his first book, An Essay on the Principle of Population, published in 1798, he presented an argument leading to a pessimistic vision of humanity’s future, in conscious opposition to the optimism of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the Marquis de Condorcet, William Godwin, and other Enlightenment thinkers.
Malthus’s ideas on population were enormously influential, but also highly controversial, both in the early nineteenth century, and in later decades. In fact, “neo-Malthusianism” remains a controversial topic to this day. (For details of Malthus’s argument in the Essay, see the section, “Malthus’s Ideas,” below.)
Gradually, Malthus turned his attention from demographics to mainstream political economy as it had been developed up to his time, publishing a series of pamphlets and short books on a variety of economic topics.
His first substantial effort in this regard was an 1814 book on the topic of Britain’s protectionist “Corn Laws” (laws regulating the importation of wheat) and the nature of their impact on foreign trade. The following year, he published a book examining the theoretical concept of “rent” (see “Malthus’s Principal Works,” below).
In 1820, Malthus published his masterpiece, Principles of Political Economy).
Three years earlier, in 1817, the prominent English economist David Ricardo had published a similarly titled book, On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation. In this work, the principle of comparative advantage among international trading partners was first clearly articulated.
Ricardo and Malthus were personally acquainted, although Ricardo had a more eminent social standing, having become a Member of Parliament in 1818. In contrast, Malthus was one of the founders in 1821 of the intellectually prestigious Political Economy Club, which Ricardo joined only afterwards.
After Malthus published his Principles, a widely followed public debate broke out between the two friends and rivals, which began with their different analyses of the concept of rent, but soon broadened into a wide-ranging discussion of the first principles of economic analysis.
This “Malthus-Ricardo debate”—as it came to be known to historians—went on for several years during the early 1820s. While it was taken seriously at the time, later observers have tended to see the differences between Malthus and Ricardo as relatively minor, and mostly based on confusion over the differing ways in which they defined some of their basic terms.
The chronicler of the Victorian scene, Leslie Stephen, once wrote that:
If Malthus and Ricardo differed, it was a difference of men who accepted the same first principles. They both professed to interpret Adam Smith as the true prophet, and represented different shades of opinion rather than diverging sects.
The last few years of Malthus’s life were blemished by another bruising public dispute with a prominent economist—this time, one which did his reputation lasting harm.
In 1827, Malthus published one of his last important works, Definitions in Political Economy. In the form of sort of dictionary of economics, this book had as one of its main objectives of this book the defense of his earlier Principles from the various criticisms that had been leveled against it for some time, in part as a result of the Malthus-Ricardo debate.
From his perch as editor of the Edinburgh magazine, The Scotsman, John Ramsay McCulloch—who was best known as a disciple of Ricardo’s—leveled heavy criticism against Malthus’s Definitions. McCulloch complained that “carping at definitions, and quibbling about the meaning to be attached to [words]” were pointless activities.
This intemperate attack led to a series of equally acrimonious rejoinders by Malthus. While some economists were willing to come to Malthus’s public defense, the majority view seems to have been that McCulloch won the battle of words.
Malthus’s reputation as an economist suffered irreparable harm from the exchange, which was put to an end only by his sudden death from a heart attack in 1834.
In his Essay, Malthus put forward a simple empirical observation: food production increases arithmetically, while population increases geometrically.
From this principle Malthus concludes that any increase in food production will always lag behind population increase, leading sooner or later to a population crash causing widespread human suffering, whether in the form of famine, of warfare, or of what Malthus called “vice” (meaning contraception, abortion, prostitution, and so forth).
According to Malthus, even if food could be produced at a greater rate—say, through increases in investment or technological innovation—nevertheless, population would still inevitably increase at an even faster rate until the food surplus was eventually eliminated.
From this principle, Malthus extrapolated a vision of the far future in which mass starvation would be unavoidable and a general “war of all against all” would inevitably ensue. He also makes the proto-Darwinian point that only the strongest (the educated and virtuous upper classes) would survive this future struggle.
Charles Darwin later claimed that reading Malthus was indispensable to his formulation of the theory of natural selection.
With respect to his views on political economy proper, Malthus departed from classical-liberal orthodoxy in several ways.
For example, while Malthus condemned Britain’s “Poor Laws” (public relief for the indigent) as counterproductive and inflationary—more or less in line with the economic mainstream of his day—at the same time he supported the “Corn Laws” (duties levied on imported grain to provide price support for British producers).
By adopting this position in the midst of the recession following the Napoleonic Wars, Malthus effectively distanced himself from one of the foundational teachings of classical economic liberalism: namely, that free trade is always and everywhere a good thing.
Another maverick view championed by Malthus was the possibility, under certain circumstances, of the failure of Say’s Law (that supply creates its own demand) and of the emergence of a “general glut.”
In spite of his heterodox views on these and other topics, however, it would not be fair to characterize Malthus’s overall economic philosophy as inconsistent or—to put it more charitably—eclectic.
Rather, Mathus argued vigorously for the need to take a wider view of political economy—one that would make room for moral and political factors—which he felt were of fundamental importance for the formulation of wise economic policy.

On the basis of the order signed by prime minister Dmitry medvedev, five unnamed kuril islands were named. Not to mention the subtext that is clearly present in the naming of islands in the kuriles. In today's media environment, this implication is usually called trolling. To understand against whom this trolling, it is sufficient to report that one of the islands received the name of general kuzma derevyanko.
This general, who in 1945, with the Soviet Union signed the instrument of surrender of Japan. Another island named in honor of general alexei gnecco, troops under the command of which in 1945 took the island shumshu. On shumshu time it is surpassing the number of soviet division of the Japanese contingent. For successful operation general grechko was awarded the title of hero of the Soviet Union. The other three islands, referred to, received the following names:the island of andrei gromyko - in honor of the outstanding soviet diplomat, foreign minister of the Soviet Union (he held this office from 1957 to 1985);the isle of igor farkhutdinova – in honor of the head of administration of the sakhalin region (held the post from 1995 to 2003);isle of anna shchetinina – in honor of the first woman who became a sea captain. It is noted that the idea of assigning names to the nameless islands belonging to the kuril islands belongs to the Russian geographical society. Ria novosti reports that such practices will continue.
The command of the Lithuanian armed forces decided to offer an alternative food option for separate categories of military personnel.
First Deputy Director of the economic Department of the government of Sevastopol Vladimir Hedgehogs told that begins the construction of a multi-service center for maintenance and repair of weapons and special equipment of air defense.
Command of the armed forces of the DNI announced about the shelling of Ukrainian troops and residential sectors of Donetsk and Yasinovataya from heavy artillery.

If you missed the recent article by Chef and restaurant owner Dan Barber in the New York Times, dont miss the chance to hear him speak at Seattle Town Hall next Tuesday, June 3, 2014 at 6:30pm.
Mr. Barber is the chef and co owner of the Manhattan restaurant Blue Hill as well as of Blue Hill at Stone Barns in upstate New York and is also very active in working for healthy, sustainable farming and eating.
The article, which was based on his recently published book “The Third Plate: Field notes on the future of food”, discusses his realization that the farm-to-table movement has failed to substantially change the way that food is grown in America. His conclusion: we need a “nose to tail” approach to the farm, where we value everything that sustainable farms produce. That means not only the big name farm produce like tomatoes, asparagus, wheat and green beans, but also the rotation crops that are required to nurture and maintain the soil…crops like millet, mustard, clover, kidney beans, cowpeas, oats and rye. These crops are not as sexy as the farm stand superstars, but if consumers learn to appreciate and value them, sustainable farmers will have a much easier time making ends meet and of meeting the demand for healthy, sustainably raised food.
I’ve got to start looking for recipes for cowpeas.

Why Does Music Exist?
Music can be created and shared with many different technologies including CDs, vinyl, tapes, the internet and streaming services. People can also make their own instruments and play them live or use pre-made electronic instruments to create music. Some artists make their own productions and some do not. Depending on the method of production, it can take a lot of practice to be able to produce quality music.
Music is a form of communication and often communicates emotions and ideas. It can be used for rituals and can even help us work better. Research shows that listening to music can improve productivity and decrease stress. In the past, musical instruments have been used to communicate obvious messages like the sound of a phone ring (someone is calling), the tone of an alarm clock or doorbell (someone needs help) and the tones of a bugle (orders are being given from far away).
There are also more subtle ways that music can convey information. The timbre of a sound, for example, can tell us what kind of instrument is playing, how the person who is singing sounds and whether the song or instrumental is calming or exciting. The timbre of a sound can also communicate information about its speed, pitch and tempo.
Besides being a form of entertainment, music can enrich our communities and get humans in touch with beauty. Music can also have more practical uses such as helping to train physical fitness, promoting relaxation and influencing retail behavior (North and Hargreaves, 1996). There is no simple answer to the question of why music exists; sometimes it just does its job really well.

Philip Roth, whose sexually scandalous comic novel “Portnoy’s Complaint” brought him literary celebrity after its publication in 1969 and who was eventually hailed as one of America’s greatest living authors for the blunt force and controlled fury of his dozens of later works, died May 22 at a hospital in Manhattan. He was 85.
His literary agent, Andrew Wylie, said the cause was congestive heart failure in confirming the death to the Associated Press.
Mr. Roth’s 1959 debut story collection, “Goodbye, Columbus,” earned him the first of two National Book Awards. He would publish 27 novels, two memoirs and several more story collections by the time he publicly retired from writing in 2012. His lifelong themes included sex and desire, health and mortality, and Jewishness and its obligations — arguably his most definitive subject, given the controversy surrounding his earliest works.
In later years, his focus shifted more frankly to the nation and its discontents, from the rise of Richard Nixon as a political figure in the early Cold War era to the sideshow of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal in what became known as Mr. Roth’s “American Trilogy”: “American Pastoral” (1997), “I Married a Communist” (1998) and “The Human Stain” (2000).
“He at once talked about America and American-ness but filtered it through the history of the 20th century at large,” said Aimee Pozorski, an associate professor of English at Central Connecticut State University who had written extensively about Mr. Roth.
“He wrote about the American response to the Holocaust, but also about its effects in Israel and Central and Eastern Europe,” Pozorski said. “He talked about the spread of, and simultaneous fear of, communism in the U.S. but also considered cultural shifts in Prague during that time. He could write about these international issues because he was truly cosmopolitan, a global citizen who was grounded by American culture.”
Notable deaths in 2018 and 2019: Nipsey Hussle, George H.W. Bush, Stan Lee, John McCain, Aretha Franklin and other famous faces we’ve lost
She called Mr. Roth “the voice of his generation.”
A 2006 survey by the New York Times Book Review of the best books since 1981 found an astonishing six of Mr. Roth’s novels among the top 22. Well into his senior years, he continued to win the highest laurels of his profession with new, evocative works. In 1993, his “Operation Shylock: A Confession” won the PEN/Faulkner prize; in 1995, “Sabbath’s Theater” won the National Book Award; in 1997, “American Pastoral” won the Pulitzer Prize.
His appeal was not limited to elite critical circles, drawing enthusiastic fans such as Bruce Springsteen, the rock musician and fellow native New Jerseyan. Speaking of Mr. Roth’s “American Trilogy,” Springsteen once observed, “To be in his 60s making work that is so strong, so full of revelations about love and emotional pain, that’s the way to live your artistic life. Sustain, sustain, sustain.”
After “The Human Stain,” Mr. Roth sprinted to his career’s finish line with a remarkable decade-long kick. In short, he wrote seven more books.
His topics were often autobiographical, yet so tantalizingly veiled that “Philip Roth” appeared in several novels. Mr. Roth relished blurring the line between fact and fiction; his second wife, the English-born actress Claire Bloom, felt betrayed when she read a manuscript of “Deception: A Novel” (1990), a brutally frank anatomy of infidelity that featured characters named Philip and Claire.
Mr. Roth removed Bloom’s name before publishing but included an afterword with the figures arguing.
“To compromise some ‘character’ doesn’t get me where I want to be,” the book’s “Philip” says to the nameless English woman. “What heats things up is compromising me. It kind of makes the indictment juicier, besmirching myself.”
Mr. Roth’s 1987 memoir, “The Facts: A Novelist’s Autobiography,” was framed by his correspondence with one of his frequent fictional alter egos, Nathan Zuckerman. The author asked his creation for feedback.
“Don’t publish,” Zuckerman replied at the end of the memoir, delivering a harsh critique of the “real” Mr. Roth for all his blind spots and willful omissions.
Zuckerman, like Mr. Roth a Jewish writer assaulted by Jewish critics at the outset of his career, was one of several figures Mr. Roth returned to repeatedly in his fiction. The character was central in books from “The Ghost Writer” — the 1979 novel in which Zuckerman imagines he is married to the real Anne Frank (who secretly and miraculously survived the Holocaust) — to 2007’s “Exit Ghost,” which found an irascible, ailing Zuckerman swapping his Connecticut retreat with a young Manhattan couple fleeing the city post-9/11.
Another frequent protagonist was David Kepesh, who was introduced in Kafkaesque fashion as a 6-foot-tall mammary gland in “The Breast” (1972) and exited as the lusty, lonely intellectual of “The Dying Animal” in 2001.
Mr. Roth’s home town of Newark also often figured in his work. His final novel, “Nemesis” (2010), vividly recalls the panic that gripped the city during the polio scare of the 1940s.
'I wanted a hard time'
Philip Milton Roth was born on March 19, 1933, to first-generation Americans — Herman Roth, an insurance salesman for Metropolitan Life, and his wife, the former Bess Finkel. They were Jews who “were and were not religious,” and they “didn’t talk about the past. There was no remembering elsewhere,” he recalled in “The Facts.”
He winced when referred to as an American Jewish writer. “Growing up Jewish as I did and growing up American seemed to me indistinguishable,” he wrote, also in “The Facts.” “I’d come from a small, safe, relatively happy provincial background — my Newark neighborhood in the thirties and forties was just a Jewish Terre Haute.”
Mr. Roth left Newark for Bucknell University in Pennsylvania mainly out of restlessness, to escape his familiar home town and his father.
“I wanted something difficult and dangerous to happen to me. I wanted a hard time. Well, I got it,” Mr. Roth said in 1984. (Explaining the notoriety of “Portnoy’s Complaint” and his own in an essay titled “Imagining Jews” for the New York Review of Books in 1974, Mr. Roth wrote, “Going wild in public is the last thing in the world that a Jew is expected to do.”)
At Bucknell, he edited the literary magazine, was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society and conscientiously began to find his writer’s voice, ruthlessly critiquing a colleague in print and discovering “a flash of talent for comic destruction.”
After graduating from Bucknell in 1954, he received a master’s degree in English the next year from the University of Chicago and served in the Army for a year (largely behind a desk in Washington.). He then returned to Chicago and taught English at his alma mater while writing fiction. An early admirer was novelist and future Nobel laureate Saul Bellow, who told an interviewer that Mr. Roth’s stories “showed a wonderful wit and great pace.”
In 1957, Mr. Roth’s short story “Defender of the Faith” was accepted by the New Yorker. The portrayal of a young Jewish soldier ignobly demanding religious loyalty from his Army superior — also Jewish — angered critics who worried about negative depictions of Jews.
When “Goodbye, Columbus” was accepted for publication in 1958, Mr. Roth resigned his teaching post and moved to Manhattan, but the friction with his antagonists wasn’t over.
In 1962, Mr. Roth shared a panel with “Invisible Man” author Ralph Ellison and Italian novelist Pietro di Donato during a symposium at Yeshiva University. Again he was denounced by questioners who thought he was undermining Jews. Mr. Roth later recycled the incident in “The Ghost Writer,” and he frequently said the standoff was formative.
In 1973, Mr. Roth explained the double-edged sword of those early attacks:
“I might turn out to be a bad artist, or no artist at all, but having declared myself for art — the art of Tolstoy, James, Flaubert, and Mann, whose appeal was as much in their heroic literary integrity as in their work — I imagined I had sealed myself off from being a morally unacceptable person, in others’ eyes as well as my own.
“I think now — I didn’t then — that this conflict with my Jewish critics was as valuable a struggle as I could have had at the outset of my career. . . . I resented how they read me, but I was never able to complain afterward that they didn’t read me; I never felt neglected.”
Mr. Roth married Margaret Martinson, his first wife, in 1959. They separated in 1963, and in 1968 Martinson died in an auto accident. The marriage was intensely difficult; Mr. Roth painted his wife as stifling and manipulative in “The Facts,” giving her the pseudonym of “Josie.” The marriage contributed to an extended period in the 1960s when the novelist said he was barely able to write. The gap from 1962 to 1967 was the longest he ever went between publishing.
A regimen of psychoanalysis led to the neurosis-filled “Portnoy’s Complaint,” the riotous tale of one young Jewish man’s anxiety and excessive masturbation. An early stab at the book was a play called “The Nice Jewish Boy,” which in 1964 had a trial reading at New York’s American Place Theatre with Dustin Hoffman. (The script didn’t work.)
“There’s always something behind a book to which it has no seeming connection, something invisible to the reader which has helped unleash the writer’s impulse,” Mr. Roth said of “Portnoy’s Complaint” in the 1984 collection “Writers at Work.” “I’m thinking about the rage and rebelliousness that were in the air, the vivid examples I saw around me of angry defiance and hysterical opposition. This gave me a few ideas for my act.”
“Portnoy’s Complaint” drew criticism from Jewish groups for its perceived ethnic stereotyping and from others for its sexual explicitness. But it also won praise from prominent reviewers for being playful and moving, a masterpiece on guilt. Writing in the New York Times, author and screenwriter Josh Greenfeld called it a “deliciously funny book, absurd and exuberant, wild and uproarious.”
If “Portnoy’s Complaint” made Mr. Roth a household name, it also generated enduring jokes at his expense that likened him to the self-pleasuring title character. The most memorable was uttered by novelist Jacqueline Susann, who remarked on “The Tonight Show” that Mr. Roth may be a terrific writer, “but I wouldn’t want to shake hands with him.”
The acclaim for the “Ghost Writer” trilogy — with the writer Zuckerman viewed as a very close stand-in for his creator through “Zuckerman Unbound” (1981) and “The Anatomy Lesson” (1983) — rescued Mr. Roth once and for all from the “Portnoy’s” reputation as a clown prince of sexual provocation.
“When all of those books were taken together, you had my story,” he said in the 2013 PBS documentary “Philip Roth: Unmasked.”
Yet earlier he had said: “Nathan Zuckerman is an act. Making fake biography, false history, concocting a half-imaginary existence out of the actual drama of my life is my life. There has to be some pleasure in this job, and that’s it. To go around in disguise. To act a character. To pass oneself off as what one is not. To pretend. The sly and cunning masquerade.”
Beginning in the late 1970s and continuing through the 1980s, Mr. Roth and Bloom split their time between the United States and London. (They married in 1990 and divorced in 1995.) In 1989, Mr. Roth left his longtime publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux for a $2.1 million, three-book deal with Simon & Schuster — at the time a huge and risky sum, skeptics suggested, for such an intensely literary author.
If few American writers compare with Mr. Roth’s frank analysis of the male body’s desires and decline, it is because Mr. Roth wrote with near-unbearable clarity about so many of his own physical challenges.
Mr. Roth endured knee surgery and then a quintuple bypass in 1989, in a period when he was addicted to the drug Halcion. That, in turn, triggered depression and emotional instability, as described by Mr. Roth and Bloom (and as featured in “Operation Shylock”).
At 34 he suffered a burst appendix and then peritonitis, a condition that once plagued Mr. Roth’s father and killed two of his uncles. Back trouble hampers Zuckerman in “The Anatomy Lesson”; in real life it drove Mr. Roth to suicidal thoughts. In “The Dying Animal,” Kepesh’s autumnal lust is described with humiliating exactitude, a problem exacerbated, as in so many of Mr. Roth’s books, by the presence of an apparently healthy and beautiful young woman.
Mr. Roth was admitted for psychiatric care in 1993, and Bloom’s memoir, “Leaving a Doll’s House,” says that on the admitting form Mr. Roth cited health concerns and bad reception for “Operation Shylock” — a book featuring dueling Philip Roth figures during the Jerusalem trial of accused Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk. In the New Yorker, John Updike had written that Mr. Roth “has become an exhausting writer to be with. His characters seem to be on speed, up at all hours and talking until their mouths bleed.”
In her book, Bloom draws herself as caged by an often wrathful Mr. Roth, describing his emotional gamesmanship as “Machiavellian.” “Philip’s novels provided all one needed to know about his relationships with women,” Bloom wrote, “most of which had been just short of catastrophic.”
For decades Mr. Roth’s primary home and workshop was his late-18th-century farmhouse in northwest Connecticut, where distractions could be kept at bay. His existence was described as austere and semi-reclusive.
“I’m like a doctor and it’s an emergency room,” Mr. Roth said in 2000 of his Connecticut seclusion. “And I’m the emergency.”
Mr. Roth’s powerful, probing, mocking literary voice largely failed to translate in Hollywood, despite several attempts. A version of “Portnoy’s Complaint,” released in 1972 and starring Richard Benjamin and Karen Black, received scathing reviews. “The Human Stain,” released in 2003, starred Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman. “Elegy” (2008), based on “The Dying Animal,” starred Ben Kingsley and Penélope Cruz and was seen as lacking Mr. Roth’s trademark ferocity.
“It’s a wonder that filmmakers continue to adapt Mr. Roth’s work to the screen, which is largely inhospitable to tough, prickly and unappetizing ideas and characters, especially in America,” film critic Manohla Dargis wrote in the Times review of “Elegy.” “It seems instructive that no great director has tackled this great writer, whether out of fear or shrewdness.”
Mr. Roth’s detractors included author Carmen Callil, who in 2011 noisily resigned as a judge of Britain’s Man Booker International Prize when the three-person panel chose Mr. Roth for its award. “He goes on and on about the same subject in almost every single book,” Callil said. “It’s as though he’s sitting on your face and you can’t breathe.”
Replied fellow judge Rick Gekoski: “Tell me one other writer who 50 years apart writes masterpieces. . . . In the 1990s he was almost incapable of not writing a masterpiece — ‘The Human Stain,’ ‘The Plot Against America,’ ‘I Married a Communist.’ He was 65-70 years old. What the hell was he doing writing that well?”
In the 2013 PBS documentary, Mr. Roth, by then routinely rumored as a candidate for the Nobel Prize, said: “In the coming years I have two great calamities to face — death and a biography. Let’s hope the first comes first.” In “Exit Ghost,” Zuckerman has nothing but scorn for the young biographer seeking to unearth long-held “facts” about E.I. Lonoff, the aging, difficult, reclusive Jewish writer Zuckerman visited in “The Ghost Writer.”
Yet when Mr. Roth announced his retirement in 2012, it was soon revealed that the author was cooperating with biographer Blake Bailey.
“Am I Lonoff? Am I Zuckerman? Am I Portnoy?” Mr. Roth asked in a 1981 interview. “I could be, I suppose. I may be yet. But as of now I am nothing like so sharply delineated as a character in a book. I am still amorphous Roth.”

Don't need them, again they will not stop the collar curling under slightly.
If you or the help press the shirts with a domestic iron. Do the following for cotton shirts regardless of the brand, fused or floating canvas.
1/ Put the iron on steam cotton. Put the iron on the near end of the collar, hold the far end of the colar, move slowly along the collar, pull the other end of the collar whilst doing this, (don't steam your fingers), Do this twice, stand the iron & turn it off steam,wait about 20 seconds do this again once or twice with less pulling. Turn the collar over and press just in the middle of the collar once quickly & lightly with about half the width of the iron ie use the pointy end and go half way up. put the shirt on the hanger or wear it. The beauty is this takes into account how a shirt is made and if there is unseen dirt on the iron the back of the collar is not seen. For floating canvas a light push at each end of the collar will push fullness slightly back from the edge. This is called the Bds method and is very collar friendly.

Notre Dame's first Big East game without forward Luke Harangody didn't start well or end well.
The Irish lost 69-68 to St. John's on Sunday with Harangody out with a bruised bone on his right knee. Harangody will be a game-time decision Wednesday when Notre Dame travels to play Louisville.
The Irish (17-9, 6-7 Big East) shot 50 percent from the floor and committed nine turnovers in the first half against the Red Storm.
Notre Dame also didn't start going down low to Tyrone Nash until late in the half, taking a 37-34 deficit into halftime.
"I don't think in the first half we were in much of a rhythm," Brey said during his Tuesday teleconference. "There was a bit of an adjustment. We also turned the ball over a little bit too, so maybe it wasn't fair to judge us.
"I thought the second half we did a better job, and we took care of the basketball. I think that was key."
Harangody's absence was felt, but it could have been worse without Nash.
The 6-foot-8 junior scored 16 points and had three rebounds in the loss.
"We scored 68 points without (Harangody)," Brey said. "I think we found we can play off of Ty Nash. Which we have done even with Gody in there, but we had to do it as the main threat."

Proposal to rebuild Finsbury leisure centre revealed
- Credit: Archant
An ambitious plan to rebuild a popular leisure centre and construct scores of council homes was revealed this week.
Council bosses want to knock down and replace Finsbury Leisure Centre and also erect around 100 homes on the surrounding land to help ease Islington’s housing crisis.
The multi-million pound proposal is in very early stages but was released to the public on Monday as Islington Council launched a six-week consultation.
It will be the latest major project in an area that has already seen the lengthy rebuild of Ironmonger Row Baths and the opening of a pioneering mini power plant, the Bunhill Energy Centre.
Cllr James Murray, Islington Council’s executive member for housing and development, said: “There is so much pressure on housing in the area and new private homes are so expensive.
You may also want to watch:
“This is a big scheme and it’s an opportunity to build local homes for local people. These will be council homes at council rents [around a third of market rent] and people living in Bunhill ward will have priority.”
The cost of the project would run into several millions of pounds. Some of the flats would be sold to raise cash, while the council says it will save on the maintenance of Finsbury Leisure Centre in the long-run, which has been estimated at £1million over the next five years.

The land, a square plot between Central Street and Helmet Row, currently houses the leisure facility, squash courts, football pitches, energy centre and a private nursery.
Councillors have promised that all the pitches will remain and there will be little disruption to leisure provision during the build. Finsbury Leisure Centre is used by more than 5,000 people.
Cllr Janet Burgess, executive member for health and wellbeing, said: “Like many buildings of this vintage, it needs lots of money spent on it to keep it standing still.
“This is a good opportunity to rebuild it and the provision will be very similar. I don’t want to give a cast iron guarantee, but the idea is that building will be phased so people will be able to continue to play sport there.”
Some residents have tentatively welcomed the proposal. Sheila McBirnie, secretary of the TMO on the nearby Pleydell Estate, off Radnor Street, who was upset when the Ironmonger Row project dragged on for more than two years, said: “People are very protective of their leisure centres around here. I’m pleased to hear there are plans to protect and keep Finsbury Leisure Centre.”
Community activist Leo Chapman, of Dufferin Street, Finsbury, said: “They have got to be careful not to make it too high, otherwise it will dwarf St Luke’s Gardens next to the site. But I would welcome the development as long as it is appropriate to the setting.”
Residents can have their say on the St Luke’s area draft planning brief between now and May 6. Visit www.islington.gov.uk/stlukes.

An application for a 131-room hotel standing guard over the entrance to downtown Queenstown has been lodged with the council this week.
The design of the five-level hotel, on the Frankton Road/Stanley Street corner, has been swayed by a huge, historic wellingtonia tree, which is protected under the district plan.
“We have design solutions which will see that tree there for another 125-plus years”, developer Rob Neil says.
His Auckland-based Safari Group is suspending the ground floor so the root mass can be protected.
Neil denies the tree, reportedly planted at the top of Stanley St in 1891, is an obstacle. “The tree’s the golden goose on the site.”
The main pedestrian-only access to the four-star hotel will be behind the tree.
Safari Group, which bought the 2197 square metre site for $6 million, opened Ramada Hotel, near the airport, last year, and is building the Wyndham Garden hotel/residential apartment com-plex nearby.
Neil says the development value of his latest project will be $62m.
He’s deliberately asking for the resource consent application to be publicly notified.
He explains that under the current district plan, the site’s height limit is only eight metres, but under the proposed plan it’s 15m – and his hotel’s only two metres higher.
“We could hold back and not submit our resource consent till next year, once the new plan becomes active, but the problem is you’ll be another year down the track before we get a hotel.”
And that’s in a resort facing a shortage of visitor accommodation.
Neil says Auckland architects Studio 37 went through about 14 designs to come up with one befitting the site’s gateway location, while also satisfying the council’s urban design panel.
“We believe it tells a story and complements the location.
“I think it’s a spectacular design, I’m very proud of it.”
The lower two levels comprise schist stone, the two above are zinc-clad and the top floor is slightly recessed.
Facilities include a ground-floor restaurant/cafe, two small conference rooms and a gym.
Fulfilling planning requirements, there’ll be two coach parks and 44 carparks which will mostly be underground.
Neil says about 55 per cent of the units have been pre-sold – ranging from $280,319 for hotel rooms to $621,803 for two-bedroom apartments.
“I would say in the next month or so we’ll be starting to promote it pretty heavily.”
Two top-floor residential penthouses will be offered for almost $3m each.
Neil hopes his consent will be signed off by Christmas and that construction can start next April/May once his building crew have completed Wyndham Garden.
With a 14-month build, the hotel should open about June 2019.
The prominent site was formerly occupied by Laurel Bank House, which opened as a guesthouse in 1891.
Dilapidated in her latter years, she was trucked off in 2007 and restored to her former glory at Lower Shotover by local couple Sheena Haywood and Stephen Brent.


This "review" from a so-called Dr. Johnson of Ohio ignores 95% of the film to try and make people think it's about black pain and white privilege, when this professor obviously doesn't know the first thing about engaging with a narrative and how symbols work, or what the rest of the 95% of the film was about. What he is doing isn't film criticism, it doesn't even pertain to study in the arts at all, he's using a film that is going against what he believes in (socialism) and trying to smear it so people will not go and see it, just like Emily Blunt smearing conservatives so they wouldn't go see Sicario, or Liam Neeson and Taken 3, or Daniel Craig and Spectre, or the latest example, Matt Damon and Jason Bourne. The film is a direct attack on socialism, but liberals don't want you to see it because it will bolster your confidence that being a socialist is an idiotic decision on all levels. Why didn't this "Dr." come out against The Legend Of Tarzan? Because Tarzan is a pro-socialist film the liberals want you to see so you can become indoctrinated with their propaganda, and become just like them.


Here are some tips about Hawaii concert packages. Be sure to choose a tour operator who knows their music and the culture of Hawaii. If you’re going to the islands, do yourself a favor and see the music!
If you want to see the music from the island of Oahu, book an Oahu concert tour with HI Productions. They’re known for their musical performances, beautiful landscapes, and environment tours. Make sure you go early to get your seats and prepare for the show! You can also get away from the crowds to sit in the middle of the stage and take in the sights.
Consider one of the popular Oahu shows on the horizon. You’ve probably heard of The Back Seat Boys. An authentic, yet overlooked songwriter from Hawaii. Their band, featuring musicians Bruce Acord and Frank Nielsen, also plays the famed Hollywood Bowl. The Back Seat Boys is not only passionate about playing live music, but they also love the mountains and the ocean. You can also get more information about hawaii concerts
HI Productions tours begin the first Saturday of every month at 11 am. You’ll have the best seats in the house for the Back Seat Boys concert. It’s a truly enjoyable experience that’s not available anywhere else.
If you prefer a Hawaiian song, you should consider Hawaii Concerts from Hawaii Hiroshima, which showcases artists from Oahu and the Islands. Honolulu residents will agree that Hiroshima has a laid back vibe and is great to catch when the weather isn’t too hot. The Honolulu Symphony Orchestra and the Hula Sisters perform every Tuesday at the Kim Eihei Performing Arts Center.
With one of the most renowned sopranos in the world, The Hula Sisters, the overall package from HI Hiroshima includes an inside look at Japan’s oldest opera troupe. They also play the renowned Hollywood Bowl every Wednesday. Watch the lively Hula Brothers perform on the multi-tiered stage.
Houstonians have it easier than those in the other islands. At the Gallery of Contemporary Art, you can enjoy a classic concert of Hawaiian or American music by Grammy Award winning musician, Jim Quayle. He performs every Friday at the Snug Harbor Convention Center.
Book tickets early and visit these great shows! And of course, have a picnic outside while you’re there! It’s always nice to give back to the land.

It was very hard to take pictures in the past, but thanks to the digital revolution, anyone with fingers can snap a photo! Of course a decent camera is expected of most modern smartphones, and since we are living in the age of social media, sharing our jam-packed albums to our friends and families is the norm. Now, we dona��t just send individual photos anymore because that easily looks dull for some people. Whether ita��s a once-in-a-lifetime trip or just hanging out in the local coffee shop, pictures just have to be produced. Want to make these photos more viewer-friendly? Check out the Top 5 Collage Apps for Android 2015
Boasting over 100 million downloads from the Play Store, Photo Grid by Cheetah Mobile is absolutely ahead among the collage making apps. The a�?Swiss Army Knifea�? of collage apps is just bursting with options on how to turn your underappreciated photo into something Instagram fame-worthy. You can also add filters into existing photos in your phone, or pick a desired background, maybe even add a cutesy sticker or draw on top of the face of your bestfriend. This complexity might intimidate the more casual users, but if you can handle all those extra options, this is the app for you.
For more advanced users, Pixlr might just be a good alternative for creating collages out of your pictures. You can add filters such as a vignette or black and white to give that classic feel to your photo, or put a kawaii sticker to brighten it up. Of course, you can also literally brighten up the photo in the adjustments tab, or perhaps heal a dirty spot on your clothes (or remove that pesky zit from your face). This app is a bit more CPU-intensive however, so lower end phones may experience a bit of lag or a complete freeze.
For something more easily understandable, Pic Collage is a drag and drop collage app for casual users who just want to show a lot of pictures at once. There is a very simple interface where you just have to a�?Tap here to create a new collage,a�? then select the photos you want which may be coming from your local storage or from web images, and click add! You can choose from many other backgrounds, add some text, and rearrange the images across the collage. Sharing to your favorite social media is also made easy with the in-app sharing button.
Another simple yet powerful collage maker is Fotor. It first greets you with a short presentation ala Camera360 before taking you to the main UI where you can finally create your one-look album. It may not be as robust as other apps but there are plenty here to like as well. Creating a collage is very easy with plenty of simple patterns to choose from, editing photos are quick, and you can also take a new picture in the in-app camera. Not sure how to enhance your photo? Check out the Inspiration tab to see the work of other users.
The Photo Collage Editor app takes you straight to the editing process as soon as you start it, asking you to choose a pattern so you can add photos and be done just a few adjustments later. The advertisements may become a little distracting but should you look past that, youa��ll see that it is still a pretty capable app. You can style it by changing the color and background design as well as the frame, add some text and stickers, and voila! A new collage for your friends to see. Take note however that the app does not come with a built-in photo editor.
And there you have the Top Collage Apps available on the Google Play Store. Doesna��t adding your personal touch to a photo make you more proud after sharing in on Facebook or Instagram? Even pictures taken in low light or too much exposure can be remedied with these apps to make them look better. Try them out!

Task-Design a Website
Standards 1.1, 1.4, 2.1
Skiing Website Reflection
My task was to design a website on a topic of my choice; skiing. This website had to include a flash animation, a home page, any pages that could be made to describe our topic, and a works cited page. Three skills I acquired from the completion of this task would be using the program Dreamweaver when creating my website, learning to create the flash I have made for my website, and building organizational skills when planning how my website would be laid out. To learn the content needed for the completion of this task, I made multiple smaller websites using Dreamweaver for background knowledge before this task and I also played around with the program for my flash animation to be familiar with it.
The most challenging aspect of this task was the creation of the website. This was difficult for me because many of the design tools I need are hidden under drop down menus or other places that you wouldn’t think to look, so none of the program seemed to make sense to me as far as organization. The least challenging aspect of this task was the creation of the flash animation. I understood the program because it worked very much like a notebook, where you draw pictures in the corner of every page while only changing small details, then flipping through the pages quickly to give the illusion of motion.
The standards I met through completing this task were 1.1, 1.4, and 2.1. I met standard 1.1 by communicating effectively with the use of technology – my website. I met standard 1.4 by demonstrating problem solving skills. I was forced to problem solve when anything went wrong in my website. Usually if there was a problem, I would solve it by looking up the answer online. Finally, I met standard 2.1 by demonstrating my ability to work independently on my task. I know this because I have worked on my project alone for the past 20 web graphics classes.

Anuradha Paudwal, Original Singer Of Tamma Tamma Isn’t Too Pleased With Remixes
Remixing classic songs have become a trend in Bollywood. Whether or not, you like the new remix versions of the songs, you definitely cannot ignore them. The original Tamma Tamma singer Anuradha Paudwal strongly feels that people sell “trash in the name of trend” these days.
“Earlier, I used to get upset with the way these remixes were done. They took away the essence and soul of the original songs. Gaane vidhwansak ho gaye hain (songs have a destructive tone nowadays). But now, I realise that this is how the newer generation expresses love. I wonder how they still appreciate Sufi music, which is so soulful,” she told Mid-day.
Anuradha Paudwal who has sung many classic songs including Tamma Tamma, Dhak Dhak Karne Laga and Tu Pyar Hai Kisi Aur Ka among others, last crooned for Bollywood in 2000.
“People make and sell trash in the name of trends these days,” she added.
The singer said that she had stopped singing for Bollywood when she was at the peak of her career. This, Anuradha said, she did it because she couldn’t identify with the kind of music the industry made. Moreover, she was more inclined to devotional music.

What a unique and awesome experience! After my posting about, and discussing the importance of capturing family and loved ones, my dear friend of many years contacted me to discuss an idea. Her parents would be celebrating 50 years of marriage in 2013, and would be celebrating by having the entire family gather in Fairbanks, Alaska before heading out for a family vacation to celebrate. After weeks and weeks of coordinating multiple schedules, time frames, and flights….we were actually able to make this happen!!
On an amazingly beautiful June morning, I flew from Seattle to Anchorage, and then up to Fairbanks, where I was met by my friends and walked out of the airport into 80+ degree sun and blue skies! For those familiar with Fairbanks….you’ll appreciate what a rare and short-lived opportunity this was. And ironically, presented new challenges with the bright sun being directly overhead. Thankfully, we were able to research and scout out some unique locations ahead of time….
The best part? As I’m taking pictures of the two of them, Merle asks …”Do I get to kiss her yet??” – this, my friends, is the sign of a successful marriage.
This family also grew up having a float plane, so we had to capture such an important part of their lives, and headed down to the float pond as well.
Fun family moments…
Merle & Judy…I was honored to be asked to capture such a milestone in your lives, and your wonderful family and moments together…wishing you a very Happy Anniversary & many more together!!

New show from August 6-November 6 at the amazing Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC. It's called "Will & Jane: Shakespeare, Austen and the Cult of Celebrity." It features the very shirt Colin Firth emerged from the water with in the 1995 Pride And Prejudice movie. A lock of Jane's hair. And a bundle of sticks from Shakespeare's birthplace, how about that. If you are a part of either author's Cult of Celebrity, you will certainly want to identify yourself by buying and prominently displaying a Shakespeare or Jane sticker.

Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) announced that legislation he cosponsored to strengthen New York’s boating safety laws has been signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The law will require individuals to obtain a boating safety certificate before operating a vessel.
“Individuals should learn basic safety procedures, navigation, and the rules of the water before operating a powerful motor vehicle which can kill or seriously injure someone. Enacting this law is a step in the right direction which will make our waterways safer for everyone. I applaud Governor Cuomo for signing this legislation,” said Senator Fuschillo, Chairman of the Senate’s Transportation Committee.
The new law will require anyone born on or after May 1, 1996 to have a boating safety certificate in order to operate a boat unsupervised.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard’s 2012 Recreation Boating Statistics, of all operators involved in fatal boating crashes nationwide in 2012 where it could be determined whether they received boating safety training, 73 percent had no boating safety education.
There were 875 boating accidents in New York State between 2008 and 2011, which resulted in 95 fatalities and 500 injuries, according to the New York State Office of Parks Recreation, and Historic Preservation’s 2011 Recreational Boating Report.
The law takes effect on May 1, 2014.

Karnataka Higher Education Minister CN Ashwath Narayan was responding to speculation that the use of mobile phones would be banned in schools and colleges amid rows of hijabs.
Karnataka Higher Education Minister CN Ashwath Narayan said on Friday that it would not be possible to ban the use of phones in colleges as digital learning has become an integral part of the study process . Responding to a question from reporters on speculation that the use of mobile phones will be banned in schools and colleges in the context of the hijab row, he said: “Nowadays modern gadgets such as cell phones Cell phones, computers, laptops, tablets, etc. have become an integral part of the teaching-learning process. When this is the situation, how can the use of mobiles be prohibited?”
“Neither students nor parents should believe such rumours. The aim of the government is to provide quality education to students at all levels with the help of modern gadgets. As a result, the use of mobile phones in establishments will continue.”
Meanwhile, Karnataka Police have organized flag marches in various districts including Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Vijayapura, Dharwad and Hubballi as a precautionary measure amid tension amid hijab rows.
Two teams of armed police have staged a flag march through hotspots in Hubballi to send a strong signal to anti-social elements and inspire confidence in parents as high schools reopen from Monday.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Thursday February 10 that high schools – grades 8, 9 and 10 – will reopen in the state from February 14. The CM added that a decision on the reopening of colleges will be taken in the coming days.
The chief minister’s announcement came shortly after the Karnataka High Court, which is hearing pleas against the hijab ban in educational institutions, said that high schools and colleges in the state – which had been told to close because of the hijab until Friday, February 11 – are expected to reopen.
The police also organized a march in Vijayapura, a sensitive town for the community. The march of the flag was undertaken in the arteries and sensitive pockets of the historic city.
The police march was also organized in Udupi, from where the hijab row started.
The Karnataka High Court has issued an interim order banning both hijab and saffron shawls until its final orders.

Ponytail Palms dying
We have two Ponytail Palms that are 41 years old. They are inside year round now that they are too big to move. Recently, they have been producing shoots out of the bottom, but the tops seem to be dying off. What can we do to keep them alive and fuller on the top? I have more pictures if you need them.
This is a very long time to care for a plant, and perhaps the palm has just reached it's lifespan indoors.
The height of the plant and I do see a ceiling fan in this image. Ceiling fans can produce to much of a draft for plants and cause issues including the plants drying out. You can try moving to a new location.
There is no way to prune the top of a Ponytail Palm without causing certain death to the plant.
The new shoot at the bottom of the plant is a pup and can be removed and repotted for a new plant.
Here are some links for you.


My 2001 Volvo V70 needed a replacement: after a huge mistake of a Dutch Volvo-tuner (they replaced the cambelt without using special tools, so the cambelt wasn’t installed correctly) so I didn’t trust the engine anymore (running idle wasn’t great: it had some dips sometimes). I drove the car more than a year with these problem but it didn’t get worse. But I decided to buy a new car because I still didn’t trust the engine.
The V70 turbo drives well, but at the dealer there was also a very nice 2002 Volvo S80 2.4T which was like a brand-new car! After two weeks I switched the V70 Turbo for the S80. The dealer didn’t have any problem at all with the switch and also checked the S80 including a new MOT.
After the Volvo 244 has been sold (it appeared the car had a broken head cylinder gasket and since we’re househunting at that time I didn’t have the time to fix it, so the car was sold to a Volvo-mechanic who actually owned exactly the same 244 but with a manual transmission) I was looking for another V70 since the V70N is a really nice and beautiful car. Another option was to buy a 850 or a V70 Classic. Unfortunately it appeared that a 850 or V70 Classic in excellent condition are pretty hard to find in the Netherlands, so I should look for a V70N (or V70 P26 as Volvo calls it). But this time I wanted a V70 which had more options than the V70 that I had now.
After a few days I found a silver metallic Volvo V70 2.4T with black leather upholstery, premium sound system and nice 16-inch wheels here in the south-east part of the Netherlands. The car was one year older than my V70 (this car was produced in 2000) and the mileage was slightly lower. It appeared that the V70 was owned by the uncle of a friend of mine, who bought a S60 at that dealer. At that moment there was a very nice S80 2.4T Elan standing in the showroom itself. The S80 had a higher price than the V70, but the S80 was in excellent condition: not a single dent or chip, full service history, new Michelin tires, a lower mileage (213.000 km, the V70 had 297.000 km) and an amazing interior. Since we’re going to move this October (if the mortgage is arranged) I thought an estate was the best option. So I bought the V70 2.4T.
The V70 drives pretty well, but had some issues with the brakes (a small vibration in the front brake discs, the dealer thought it could be caused by the non-usage for a while but the problem was still there after a few days), the turbo had some small play I think (it worked, but I’ve heard better turbochargers) and the S80 had a much lower mileage. The dealer told me if I wanted to switch to the S80 it would be possible. So I did. I paid a little extra (the same difference that the V70 turbo and the S80 had a couple of weeks ago) and went home with an as good as new car!
The specifications of my Volvo S80 2.4T Elan:
- produced in 2002
- Elan edition
- 200 hp 2.4 litre 5-cylinder engine
- mileage: 213.000 km when I bought it
- automatic gearbox (without Geartronic, so it’s the basic AW55-50 transmission I think)
- Volvo HU-601 radio with 8 speakers premium sound system
- I’ve upgraded the 601-radio with a Grom USB/MP3/smartphone-module
- Scarab Green metallic paint
- lightbrown / beige Wasa (anti-allergic, leather and standard cloth) upholstery with wooden trims, a carbon shift selector (it’s replaced with the wrong trim in the past), leather steering wheel (including radio control buttons) and cupholders
- 17-inch Arrakis rims with Michelin Primacy HP tires (two of them are new, the other 2 are pretty good)
- climate control (automatic air conditioning) with Volvo air quality system
- unfortunately no parking sensors (they’re needed here in the Netherlands since everybody wants to park as close as possible behind other cars)
- rain sensor
- cruise control
- STC (traction control)
- electric windows and mirrors (which also are heated)
- dynamic chassis
- tow bar
The S80 is in perfect condition, but I think I’m going for a Powerflush of the automatic gearbox in a short term. Just to be sure the ATF is in perfect condition. And I already detailed the car (waxing, cleaning the trims, wheels and add some extra protection with Meguiars carnauba-stuff).

After Spice drop a new video with Vybz Kartel for “Conjugal Visit”, the incarcerated dancehall release a new music video for “Ice Queen” featuring singer Toian.
Last year Vybz Kartel and dancehall singer Toian collaborated on a track titled “Ice Queen.” The single got some rave reviews in dancehall circles locally and overseas.
SEE ALSO: Vybz Kartel Ft. Toian – Ice Queen Lyrics
The incarcerated deejay has been turning out hits even still while behind prison walls. A lot of his new songs were previously recorded before his arrest in 2011.
The video for the soulful dancehall banger was directed by Sean Alaric. The clip features the gorgeous singer talking to Vybz Kartel on FaceTime. While the former Portmore Empire deejay did not appeared in the video, several old clips of him made the cut.
Reps for the deejay told Urban Islandz late last year that he will be dropping several new singles this year.
“Vybz Kartel was one of the hardest working artist in dancehall, he would literally be in the studio everyday recording new material and so after a while we end up with a hard drive full of unreleased music,” his rep told Urban Islandz.

the visuals that support the vision
As Company 360 began to grow following our first season, a need for high quality visuals to support the growing talent on stage became clear. Company 360 initiatives quickly began to be supplemented by JL and Bailey through photo, video, and graphic design projects. What followed was a re-ignition of old passions, a pursuit of deeper study and learning, an establishment of Carousel Pictures, and a growing set of tools to create complementary work to support the Company 360 mission.
As we move into the Fall of 2022, the development of technical abilities will also begin to be infused into Conservatory Coupe, bringing opportunities to develop 21st century visual arts skills to professionals and trainees alike. Additionally, as Company 360 moves into their new dance home on Cambridge Street, Carousel will be donating 75% of their Conservatory Portraits sessions, 50% of all other in-studio sessions, and 25% of any off-site job (from wedding to fashion) to Company 360 and The Conservatory on Cambridge.
For now explore the rest of our site and socials and feel free to reach out to firstname.lastname@example.org
for more information or to support Company through photography.

Saturday, 12th Mar, 2011 ~ A friend had 4 free cinema tixs & so we went to watch Rango @The Cathay. Upon arriving, saw an inter-school lion dance competition going on. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics with their displays.
The Lion & The Dragon
After collecting the tixs & since we had lots of time to kill, we headed to the nearby Fort Canning Park for some nature photography. Passed by YMCA & took a series of pics with their signage.
The day was cloudy & it got dimmer when we arrived at the outskirts of the park. Not a good day for photography & my friends noticed dark clouds approaching. Checked with an iPad & confirmed that rain is indeed coming our way. Took a few hurried shots & got out of there as there are few shelters around.
@Fort Canning Park
Next to the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, near a busy traffic junction is a tiny patch of greenery planted with beds of pretty flowers. We might as well do some photography here while we wait for the sky to clear & if it rain, there are plenty of shelters nearby.
City Greenery Beauty
No lack of subjects in that little patch of greenery. You just have to be patient & observant. Mother Nature is everywhere.
Beetle & Butterfly
Nature Macro Photography
Naturally, I am also a child of nature. =P
While my friends were indulging in some serious photography, I was playing with my new iPhone 4. When I was contemplating to buy the iPhone 4, people told me that its camera has no macro function. Glad that I didn't listen to them. It got a zoom function which I knew can be used for macro photography. That day was as good as any to give it a test run & the results turned out surprisingly well, considering it's just a cellphone camera. The iPhone 4 can capture decent video too. I know there are cellphones with better camera, but that's not the point. I didn't buy the phone for its camera. Just wanna push the boundary & see what I could do with an iPhone 4. The composited pic below is of me using a iPhone 4 to take pic of a Plain Tiger butterfly & the result is on the right. Pretty cool huh? =D
Macro Photography with iPhone 4
Below are a few more examples of macro photography taken by me with my iPhone 4. I love my iPhone! xD
Insects Photography with iPhone 4
Flora Photography with iPhone 4
We ended up spending a few hours enjoying nature photography at that tiny garden, amid busy city traffic & noise. Many people passing by were giving us weird or puzzled looks. I know many iPhone owners used its camera for either self-shot or snapshots of their friends, mostly boring stuffs. Hamster me will be chasing insects or doing nature photography with my iPhone. LOL! xD
Anyway, we watched Rango & the movie is quite hilarious. OMG, that Johnny Depp with his signature screams! LOL! =P

TV show host Trevor Noah had an encounter with Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z during a basketball game, and both fist-bumped him as they walked by.
It was a memorable moment for Trevor Noah, a celebrity himself. But as he said later, he tried to act cool. Trevor Noah relived the encounter and what it meant to him in a recent post to Instagram in the spirit of #TBT
In the post to Instagram, he had stated that he had thought of every possible caption for the picture of him fist-bumping the couple. He described it as a privilege and a magical moment to experience in life.
While admitting he has magical encounters every other day, he especially values the significance of meeting with the celebrity couple: he is living a dream. You can check out his post below.
Trevor Noah, he host of The daily Show, is no obscure figure. But his fame pales compared to Jay-Z’s. So it was understandable when he felt star-struck seeing the couple for the fist time and bumping fists with them.
South Africa celebs who saw his #TBT picture inundated him with congratulations, letting him know he is reping South Africa pretty well. Others made it clear they’re inspired by his success.

Aside from beautifying the Garden of Love with so many flowers, Iloilo City Government spruced up the attraction with a scenic Garden Pond full of Koi fishes.
Located at Brgy. Nabitasan in Lapaz district, the Garden of Love was initiated by Iloilo City Government Beautification Program to provide additional relaxing open space for the public. This project is under Mayor Jerry Treñas’ W.H.E.E.L.S. for Inclusive Development for the Environment, which aims to attract locals and tourist free of charge.
“Bugal ko guid ang aton pinakabag-o nga proyekto nga naghatag atraksyon sa aton mga kasimanwa samtang nagaprotekta sa mental health naton,” Treñas said.
Iloilo City Garden of Love was initially filled with flowering plants such as Sunflower, Rose, Santan, Spiny Spider Flowers, and some Salvia Fizz Peach seedlings. Planting efforts continued alongside Commissioner Efrain B. Treñas Boulevard as the beautification team put additional Milkweed plants and Yellow Celosias.
Several plant varieties were also planted in the area, a concrete garden set was placed on the facade of the garden, concrete benches were added, and a Bahay Kubo was also placed to welcome families and friends.
Recently, the unearthed space was converted into a garden, with around 30 koi fingerlings dispersed in the water. It was further enhanced with the installation of makeshift waterfalls made of recycled materials.
Iloilo City Garden of Love is open to the public from 6:00 in the morning until 10 in the evening.


When defining and characterizing a product in a product design process, there are two different types of product’s attributes that have to be considered – the Hard-Attributes and the Soft-Attributes. These two attributes are radically different in nature. Not distinguishing between them and treating them evenly is a common mistake. This article describes the differences between these two types of attributes and explains how to properly manage each of them.
What is the difference between hard and soft attributes of a product?
Hard-Attributes are objective and measurable, and have to do principally with the functioning and performance of a product; for example, strength, speed, weight, and price. They are mainly the purview of engineers.
In contrast, Soft-Attributes are subjective and emotional. They are described using words like attractive, young; sporty, pleasant, and feminine, and cannot be quantified or measured by objective means. For the most part, these attributes have to do with the character of the product and its user-experience. Soft-Attributes are mainly the purview of industrial designers.

The official design sketches of the large SUV have been disclosed and next month a near production preview will arrive.
Skoda has revealed the official design sketches of the large VisionS SUV concept. The concept will be revealed completely at the Geneva motor show next month. The concept design shows an all-new preview of large seven-seat SUV.
Buy Now: Sony PlaysStation VR In Stock Here
The VisionS SUV will be called the Kodiaq. The near-production preview will come at the Geneva Motor show. The VisionS is said to give us our first glimpse of the large SUV that will sit above the current Yeti.
The concept is 4700mm long, 1910mm wide and 1680mm high. The VisionS will have three rows of seats that offer space for six. The concept production version will offer space for seven.
The concept will draw its styling cues from the 2014 VisionC concept. The VisionS SUV concept sports a wide Skoda grille. Also supported are four swept-back LED headlights.
Additionally a large full-length lower air intake is present. The intake dominates the lower bumper and lead to another pair of intakes.
The concept car is aimed for a large family. The roofline of the VisionS dips towards the back of the car. Similarly a rear spoiler, twin exhausts and impossibly large alloy wheels complete the look. The look aims for a sporty ’lifestyle’ look and feel.
The concept is based on the VW Group’s MQB platform. The production version of the Skoda SUV will be developed alongside the equally large Volkswagen CrossBlue.
Don't Miss: See the first leaked Black Friday 2016 Ad
The VisionS will have a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol and diesel engine. A diesel-electric plug-in hybrid will be joining the range later on. The production version of VisionS will arrive by 2017.

Russian Girls: Signs She’s Got a Crush on You
All people are different when it comes to the demonstration of emotions. It depends on the upbringing, social impact, and cultural background. Russian brides are straightforward when they want you to see they like you. A Russian woman interested in finding her perfect match will not hesitate to tell you about it verbally or non-verbally.
Signs You Have Mutual Chemistry
Russian girls are not as reserved in emotions as the majority of western men might think. Their gloomy silence is connected with their thoughtful and sensible nature. They think twice before doing anything. Falling in love is one of the most significant life events. A persistent and thoughtful woman like her will never let herself to make a snap judgment.
If you understand she’s trying to make you pay attention to her in some way, you’re done. It looks like she’s already into you.
Does a Russian Girl Look After You?
It’s a very insignificant thing you might not mention from the first time. Nevertheless, the following signs mean a lot:
- She notices your bad mood and asks you what’s wrong;
- She’s interested whether you feel cold or not on a nasty winter day;
- She sees bits of dust on your coat and helps you get rid of them before you do it on your own;
- She never forgets to send you a happy birthday message.
Does She Appreciate Your Sense of Humor?
A good joke is one of the best ways to boost the conversation and keep your interlocutor interested. Russian girls letting themselves laugh heartily in your presence are at least comfortable with you. It’s the first step in any relationship development. Of course, it may also signify that she cares about you as a friend, but you do have mutual chemistry already.
It’s not only about humor. Remember that if a girl lets herself cry in your presence, it demonstrates her trust to you. Unpredictable and sincerely expressed emotions mean more than you think.
Is She Always Around?
The following behavior of Russian girls is destined to show off her interest in you:
- She seems to be present at all events attended by you;
- She’s made friends with at least some of your pals in social networks;
- She regularly visits your accounts in social media to leave a note or a comment to your photo or post;
- She periodically finds pretexts to see you and tries to interact with your mutual acquaintances to get more chances to know about your circulation.
Pay Attention to Touches
Russian girls, as well as the other women in love, try hard to check whether you have mutual chemistry or not. Does she always try to shake your hand when saying hello or hug you in a friendly way? Do you notice unpredictable and unintentionally-looking touches? Does she always try to sit or stay closer to you so that your hands or feet can come into accidental contact? These are red flags. While you’re still ignorant of her plans, she’s already probing the ground.
