7 Robots That Do Simple Tasks Better Than You Ever Could
They could school you any day.
Robots make everything look easy, but there's actually a lot of work going on under the hood to make even simple tasks happen. But through impeccable design, practice, and some good programming, they can outpace you on just about anything.
Here is just a sampling.
Moving Heavy Boxes
University of Tokyo's JSK Laboratory built a robot that tries its very best to move heavy boxes. The robot learns what does and doesn't work through trial and error until it figures out how to move the thing, and ultimately gets pretty good at its job. This looks like a robot that would know to lift with its legs, not its back.
Scribbling a Handwritten Letter
This particular robot, called Bond, carefully registers your handwriting to then imitate it with a fountain pen. To get everything to look like you've just written a letter yourself, the thing ran $500 at launch. Yes, it's a little bit pricey for something you could do yourself, but its hand never gets tired!
Robobarista, courtesy of researchers at Cornell University, reads instructions and then uses deep learning algorithms to figure out knobs and buttons. The two methods combined allows the 'bot to make a mean cup of espresso. But does can it misspell names when it writes them on cups with a marker?
Playing Beer Pong
Empire Robotics' robot uses Versaball technology to play a perfect game of beer pong. It seems a bit like overkill, but then again, perfect game of beer pong. That's worth something to somebody.
Getting a Cold Beer
How hard is it for a robot to get a cold beer from the other room? Well, it takes at least two to get it done. They work in tandem kind of like a cargo ship and a crane, but much smaller. Once they get going though, it's a perfectly choreographed dance of beer-getting. Far superior than hoisting yourself off the coach.
Jumping Over Obstacles
Having to sometimes step over small obstacles like, say, a curb is annoying for a human, but it's very tricky for a robot. They don't have instincts so they have to carefully calculate how much force to put into it, where their legs are going to land, and how to continue moving afterwards. That's only scratching the surface. And yet, here's MIT's robo-cheetah doing leaps and bounds like a boss. It could out hurdle you any day.
Touching a Phone
Testing phones can be a laborious process. Over the course of thousands of presses, even the most seasoned Candy Crusher would get a little tired. But this little robot finger-that-could gets the job done for Google without breaking a sweat. You might never get to the end of the Tamago egg app, but this robo-finger sure could.

BLOOMINGTON (MCT) — A Normal liquor store that provided alcohol to a sorority party where an Illinois State University student was injured violated McLean County’s liquor code by failing to obtain a special event license for the function.
Assistant County Administrator Hannah Eisner said Wednesday that University Liquors was required to have the Class F license for the Saturday night barn dance at Pleasant View Farm near Lexington.
“Our position is that when liquor is sold in the county, they are required to have a county liquor license,” said Eisner.
The state’s attorney’s office has been looking into circumstances surrounding a party where a 21-year-old ISU senior was burned after falling into a bonfire. McLean County sheriff’s officers also are investigating the event.
University Liquors owner Rashik Raksolia said Tuesday he believes he met the requirements of an agreement with Gamma Phi Beta sorority by providing copies of his state and town of Normal liquor and catering licenses to the sorority.
The liquor store could face a fine ranging from $100 to $1,000 if it is found guilty of an ordinance violation for its first offense of selling alcohol without a county license.
The Normal store is not alone in its error.
A check of Class F licenses issued by the McLean County clerk’s office shows that no licenses have been issued for events at Pleasant View Farms, which is owned by Sam Payne. In the past three years, ISU student organizations have held 10 events at the rural Lexington location, according to ISU.
So far this year, the county has issued four Class F licenses to private businesses that have provided alcohol to a family dinner and wedding receptions at venues outside the Twin Cities. Licenses cost $118 per day.
The issuance of a county liquor license alerts sheriff’s officers of special events that may attract a large crowd because a copy of the license is forwarded to the sheriff’s department, said Eisner.
In the case of last weekend’s party, license notice would have put sheriff’s deputies on “an elevated awareness because of past problems we’ve had at that location,” said Sheriff Mike Emery, referring to a 2009 report of an alleged sexual assault at the farm. Charges were not filed in 2009 because the woman declined to cooperate with police.
The recent sorority event, attended by about 200 students, was registered with ISU as required. The school’s alcohol policy lays out specific rules for student organizations hosting events, including the use of a third-party alcohol vendor who must check birth dates of drinkers and make sure intoxicated students are not served.
ISU spokesman Jay Groves said the third-party agreement also requires copies of state and local licenses, but the responsibility for temporary licenses falls on the vendor. University groups hold events in many locations, making it difficult for event sponsors to know all the local liquor license requirements, said Groves.

With the win already sealed up before they stepped on the floor, the S&B General Contractors Cowichan Rats earned a moral victory over the Wsanec Arrows at the Cowichan Arena on Saturday.
The Arrows showed up without enough players to play an official Victoria Senior Lacrosse League match, but were still game for a scrimmage. The shorthanded team put up a good fight, but the Rats managed to prevail 7-6 to even the season series with Wsanec at one game apiece.
AP Jacob Taylor, summoned from the junior B2 Oceanside Sharks, stepped up with three goals in his first senior game, and Dylan Dewarle notched a game-high four assists. Pete Vanden Dungen scored twice and added one assist and Conor Manahan and Ryan King had one goal apiece. Dan Rabey had three assists in his season debut, and Luke Van Huizen and Spencer Rooke each had two helpers.
Emilio Garcia was a force for the Arrows, scoring five goals and setting up the other. Cowichan’s Kevin Smith and Wsanec’s Jericho Paul kept it close in net.
With four wins and one loss, the Rats now sit second in the VSLL, and are headed for a big showdown with the first-place Victoria Blazers in Esquimalt this Thursday. The May 18 home game against the Victoria Tugmen will be rescheduled.

Stamp Scam: Two CBI cases for lapses at govt press
December 19, 2003 18:11 IST
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday registered two cases against senior officials of the India Security Press (ISP), a commandant of the Railway Protection Force and Abdul Karim Telgi in connection with 'security lapses' at the Nashik-based India Security Press.
The investigating agency registered the two cases after conducting a Preliminary Enquiry on the directions of the central government.
One of the cases involves ISP General Manager Ganga Prakash (now under suspension), some other ISP officials and prime accused Telgi and is in connection with security lapses at the press.
The CBI arrested Prakash in Hyderabad, agency sources in Delhi. Fixed Deposits worth lakhs of rupees besides Rs 186,000 in cash were also seized from his residential and official premises.
In another case, the CBI has accused a commandant of the Railway Protection Force and Telgi of breaching the security at the press. The central government, which owns the ISP, had in November asked the CBI to ascertain whether some employees were involved in printing and distribution of fake stamps and stamp papers by Telgi.

pairings: Yamada Ryosuke/Chinen Yuri
word count: 1,080
author's note: Set after the filming of the Zeus TV special on March 18th. Spoilers for the outcome of the special!
summary: Yamada's embarrassment is still there, but it feels more distant, somehow, already fading away in the face of Chinen's persistent warmth and positivity.
“You’re spoiled,” Yamada says as Chinen kicks his shoes off in the Yamada family genkan, not bothering to tidy them up before scuffing into the personal pair of slippers he's kept at Yamada's place for as long as Yamada can remember and scurrying into the kitchen without more than a quiet, "I'm home~" It's late, and Yamada's parents have already gone to bed, so it doesn't really matter anyway (is just like Chinen to think of that in advance and lower his voice, really), but somehow, it makes Yamada smile anyway at the way Chinen is so at home in Yamada's space. Maybe it's normal for people as close as they are, but still, it makes Yamada feel somehow as if Chinen trusts him, as if Chinen sees him as someone he can let his guard down around. Of course, he can't exactly say that out loud; even now, it makes him blush just to consider it, and so, "You're spoiled," he says instead, following Chinen into the kitchen watching him rummage through the refrigerator as if it was his own.
"Maybe so~" Chinen replies, opening the bottom drawer of the fridge and looking over the fresh fruit. "But why don't you go to your room and relax, and I'll bring you a snack~?" He looks up for a moment, meeting Yamada's eyes and smiling. "I think you deserve it after that, don't you?"
Whether he deserves it or not, Yamada can't deny that the thought of Chinen bringing him a snack in bed is particularly appealing, and so he nods, loathe to break eye contact when Chinen's smile calms him more than any amount of relaxing or fresh fruit could, but when Chinen goes back to looking through the food choices, Yamada sighs and turns to head to his room, kicking off his tight jeans in exchange for a pair of sweatpants before dropping down onto his bed. He's exhausted from all the physical effort, but moreover, his body feels wrung out by the stress of the day. The entire Zeus program was relatively scripted, as many variety programs Yamada had been on in his career were, but somehow, despite the fact that the Johnny's team was determined to lose from the beginning, Yamada couldn't help feeling tense through the entire filming. Every time someone won a match or a round, that team was instructed to throw the following round, one way or another, to keep the show exciting to the end, but most of Yamada's failures-- at wrestling, at soccer, his embarrassing slip up at the very end-- were his own fault, not pre-determined by the staff, and while it's not exactly the end of the world, not even important in the grand scheme of the year, the month, the week, it still feels bad in the moment. After all, even though it's all a part of being an idol, spending an entire day at a filming essentially just to fail still eats away a him a little, no matter how hard he tries to fight it back, and so, no matter how hard he tries to fight it back, as soon as he closes his eyes, all he can see is the crowd looking back at him, all he can feel is the sensation of falling from the tightrope…
But then, "What's this? Going to sleep without your snack?" in Chinen's voice, coming from far too close for comfort, startles Yamada's eyes open, and he can't help but jump as he's met with the sight of Chinen grinning at him from inches away from his face. Chinen only grins, pressing a kiss to Yamada's cheek as Yamada flushes in embarrassment at his own reaction before stepping back. "I brought you something," he adds, pressing a small bowl of yogurt and strawberries into Yamada's hands before sitting on the bed beside him with his own bowl. Upon closer inspection, while Chinen's bowl appears to be equal parts strawberry and yogurt, Yamada's seems more like a large pile of strawberries with a small amount of yogurt on top, and he can't help but grin at Chinen's thoughtfulness as he picks up his spoon.
"Good work today~" Chinen says, looking at Yamada with a grin as he swings his legs and pops a strawberry into his mouth, "You were so cool and handsome~~~" And a few years ago, Yamada would have felt awkward and self conscious and unsure if Chinen was making fun of him, but anymore, he knows that it's only Chinen's way of complimenting him, and so he smiles back, shrugging. "I wasn't nearly as cool as you," he replies, but Chinen only shushes him and tells him to finish his snack.
After they finish eating, Chinen takes their dishes back to the kitchen, and Yamada can't help but collapse back on the bed again, still exhausted but somehow soothed all the same. The embarrassment and sting of the loss are still there, but they feel more distant, somehow, already fading away in the face of Chinen's persistent warmth and positivity. When they were younger, Yamada had found it annoying, or even scary, and perhaps it was, perhaps he was afraid to allow himself to be happy, but now he can't do anything but appreciate it, but be happy that he's the target of Chinen's affections, his perfection.
Despite the fact that his anxieties had felt so overwhelming that there was no way he could sleep earlier, now he's on the verge of drifting off when suddenly, a weight on the bed and a body draping itself onto him and curling into his side start him back into wakefulness. "How is it that you always sneak in here without me hearing you?" he grumbles, opening one eye to squint at Chinen before wrapping an arm around him and pulling him closer.
Chinen only shrugs, kissing Yamada's cheek before quipping, "Maybe it's because I love you~" And that makes no sense whatsoever, but Yamada only laughs, running his fingers through Chinen's hair. Whether or not it has anything to do with his hearing, he really is lucky to have Chinen at times like these (at all times, really), and so he hums, nodding. "I guess I'm pretty spoiled, too, huh~" he remarks after a moment, and Chinen's laughter is just enough to push away the last of the bad memories and remind him that here and now, in bed together with the boy he loves, is what matters.

Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities
Witness: Alex Himelfarb
Commission Counsel Bernard Roy conducts direct examination of Alex Himelfarb (Clerk of the Privy Council). Mr. Himelfarb describes meetings with the Auditor General, his own knowledge of the contents of the 2004 Auditor General’s report prior to its release, and his response to the report. He confirms Jean Chrétien’s claim that the prime minister was not informed of the contents of the report prior to its release.


This certainly wasn’t the way the Indians wanted to begin their three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles. The lack of offense in their 7-2 defeat on Sunday afternoon was overshadowed by the loss of starter Justin Masterson.
Masterson threw just two pitches in the second inning before being looked at by Terry Francona and one of the team’s trainers. He stayed in the game briefly, allowing a base hit to Matt Wieters and throwing a pitch to Nick Markakis before Francona was summoned to the mound again by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera. Masterson exited the game with an apparent injury that was later defined as “soreness around his left ribcage”, although the cause has yet to be determined.
Meanwhile, the Orioles proceeded to take advantage of the Tribe’s misfortune. After coming on in relief for Masterson, Preston Guilmet allowed a single to Markakis, then gave up what should have been an RBI double to Nate McLouth. However, on his way from first to third, Markakis missed the second-base bag and was called out after the Indians appealed. The double became a long fielder’s choice instead, but Baltimore tacked on two more runs when Brian Roberts hit a two-run double off Guilmet later that inning.
Cleveland’s bullpen struggled with the task of filling Masterson’s shoes. Nick Hagadone pitched a scoreless third inning, but quickly gave up a two-run right-field home run to McLouth the following inning. Both Blake Wood and Clay Rapada were shaky in their debuts as Indians, walking two batters each. Rapada exited with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh, but Matt Albers was able to force J.J. Hardy to ground into a double play to prevent any runs from scoring.
The Indians’ offense offered little help for their pitching staff. Bud Norris shut down the Tribe’s lineup, allowing no runs through his first six innings. Jason Kipnis led off the seventh with a home run to right-center field, and Lonnie Chisenhall started the eighth with a solo shot of his own, but it was not enough to overcome the damage the Orioles had done. In the ninth inning, Wieters added a final insult by blasting Baltimore’s second two-run home run of the day.
The Good: Despite the fact that Hagadone gave up a two-run bomb, he threw the majority of his pitches for strikes and did have a clean first inning. Control was a big issue for him, so hopefully this is a step in the right direction. There aren’t a lot of good things to say about the offense, but Brantley did have a three-hit game (although he also got picked off at second base), and Chisenhall’s home run was his second in the past week.
The Bad: The Indians need Justin Masterson. In March, no one would have said that the Tribe’s rotation would be the most solid aspect of their team and the primary reason that they are still in playoff conversations. However, that’s exactly what has happened. Masterson is the best – and most reliable – starter that the team has, and losing him for an extended amount of time is a huge problem. He downplayed his injury after the game, but until tests are run and a diagnosis is announced, Tribe fans can only hope that it’s nothing serious.

Vodafone activates LTE-M network covering 90% of Germany’s territory
LTE-M added to 18,000 Vodafone Germany mobile sites
Germany carrier Vodafone Germany announced the activation of its LTE-M network to cover over 90% of the country, the telco said in a release.
The operator said it has upgraded 18,000 mobile sites in the past few weeks to start operating the LTE-M network nationwide.
Business customers can now use the technology to control machines and sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT). In the future, private customers can also benefit from LTE-M with fitness trackers, smart watches and in the smart home, the company said.
“LTE-M is the next component in our network so that people, machines and sensors can communicate with one another at any place and at any time,” said Vodafone Germany’s head of technology, Gerhard Mack. “We build cellular networks with four levels. With LTE we connect people with their smartphones. Narrowband IoT is our machine network for sensors. LTE-M enables the exchange between people and machines. And 5G is always used wherever real-time data exchange and huge bandwidths are needed,” he added.
In contrast to the new 5G generation of mobile communications, LTE-M is particularly suitable for exchanging small and medium-sized amounts of data, the telco said. The maximum bandwidth that this network technology can achieve is 2 MBPS. This is completely sufficient for the transmission of a lot of sensor data. The transmission of huge amounts of data – for example with augmented reality – is not possible with LTE-M. This is where 5G is used, depending on the frequency range used, with bandwidths of up to one gigabit per second.
Vodafone Germany recently said that its 5G network currently covers 10 million people across the country.
The operator said that its 5G technology has been recently activated in 300 new cities and municipalities across Germany.
For its 5G expansion in Germany, Vodafone is relying on 5G frequencies i at 1.8 GHz in most locations — especially in cities — and also on 3.5 GHz spectrum.
Vodafone also uses frequencies in the 700 MHz band at individual locations to expand mobile communications in rural areas.
The telco is also using dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) technology for its 5G expansion.

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Billy @ Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to their own blog.
Welcome to my fourth post for the Weekly Book Blogger Hop. This is the second week in a row that I have posted on a Friday, so I think this is this meme’s home, for now.
Topic Run Dates: April 23rd – 29th, 2021
Do you do most of your blog work on a computer, iPad, or phone? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Complex Chaos)
This week’s question is fairly simple to answer as I work on this blog on a computer 99% of the time.
Although I have Bluetooth keyboards that can link to my phone and tablet, it is still easier to use an actual keyboard on my computer to type. I also prefer using my computer for the general size. I have a giant 32″ monitor that I sometimes use if I want a larger screen for my laptop (either my one for work or my own), so it is very easy to see everything clearly when I am working on a post. The computer/web version also is easier to manipulate on a computer compared to other devices. Although I prefer to create posts for this blog using a computer, I am not opposed to working on an iPad or a phone, if the need arises.
If you are a blogger, what device do you prefer?

Geert Wilders calls protest against Turkish campaign rallies
Turkish ministers want to address citizens living abroad who can vote in April referendum.
Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders on Monday said he was organizing a demonstration against Turkish election campaign events held in the Netherlands.
“No Turkish ministers on campaign trail in the Netherlands,” Wilders wrote on Twitter. Over the weekend he said he wanted all Turkish ministers to be persona non grata. Wilders' protest will take place on Wednesday at the Turkish embassy in The Hague.
Members of the Turkish cabinet have been organizing rallies for Turkish citizens living abroad ahead of an April referendum to expand the powers of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The Dutch government on Saturday announced it was looking into legal options to prevent members of the Turkish government campaigning in Rotterdam next week.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Deputy Prime Minister Lodewijk Asscher were said to have been angered by comments from Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, who claimed the Netherlands cannot stop campaign events.

With the growth of metropolitan areas and infrastructure in and around it, one can find it more and more difficult to find privacy, peace and quiet. Cars, busses, trains, planes and people — it all makes noise and it can be hard to get away from it all without sacrificing the comfort of being close to ones necessities.
Hence, it is very important to find a solution that meets peoples standards of noise reduction and yet is affordable to the public. Until a few years ago, when speaking about windows, two-frame windows have been the way to go. In Lasita Aken, we have put a lot of emphasis on developing windows that would reduce noise and we are proud to say that we’re very pleased with the outcome. We can now produce a one frame, DK window with a noise reduction value of Rw=49 — ctr. These values are reached with our triple glazed IV 92 profile using silencing laminates, making the windows safe for users as an extra benefit.
For many years you would have to compromise, choosing between noise reduction, thermal transmittance (U-value) and looks. With the Lasita Aken IV 92 it is now possible to combine all three into one as the noise reducing window reaches close to equal U-values with regular windows and is in the same window profile. So you could, for example, use windows with high noise reduction only on the side of the building with a lot of noise without sacrificing the looks of it — they look the same as regular windows.
How does it work?
Basic physics helps us to understand that the more uneven the surfaces, the more uneven are the breaking angles of sound waves, thus making it harder for sound to break through. So, firstly you should look at using a glass unit which has glasses with variable thicknesses. For example, a triple glazed glass unit of three times 8mm thick glasses might seem like a more soundproof option than a 4mm, 6mm and 8mm triple glazing, but the reality is vice versa. This logic combined with partition bars of unequal thicknesses already makes a big difference. If needed, you can always add a layer or two of sound silencing laminates to make the windows even more noise reductant. This logic combined with our high quality window profile makes it possible to reduce even the most annoying and loudest sounds.
So what to look for?
Keep it simple and don’t overdo it! The higher the Rw values, the more the windows cost. Ask our staff for input and advice or consult with another specialist to find the precise noise reduction value needed for comfort. An irregular car passing by every now and then requires much less than a house directly on the path of airplanes taking off or landing. If high Rw values are required, do not hesitate to pay this little bit extra for peace and quiet — in the most literal sense. It’s the small things that add up to a huge difference. Comfort is key and we are happily offering it to You.

Background: Alzheimer's dementia is characterized by significant cortical and subcortical
atrophy, causing diverse neuropsychological deficits. According to the somatic marker hypothesis,
the areas responsible for generating the somatic markers that anticipate the consequences of a decision
and thereby optimize the process would be affected in these patients.
Objective: The aim of this experiment is to study the decision-making processes in Alzheimer type
dementia patients to determine potential deficits in these processes as a result of the disease, aside
from the cognitive impairment that is typical of aging. In addition, we wish to determine the defining
characteristics of decision-making in these patients, on the basis of the prospect valence-learning parameters.
Method: We evaluated 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease and a control group of 30 healthy subjects.
A short version of the Iowa Gambling Task was used.
Results: The results showed that patients made less advantageous choices than did controls. Group
differences were quantitative and qualitative, as significant differences in cognitive mechanisms identified
in the prospect valence-learning decisions were observed. These results are consistent with evidence
from neuroimaging studies as well as with work carried out with amnesic patients.
Conclusion: That problems in our patients' decision-making could be due to the characteristic memory
deficits of this disease, which prevents them from establishing new stimulus-reward relationships
and eliminating previously learned responses as a result of the parietal and temporal atrophy they present.

Dental malpractice, while less discussed than medical malpractice, can have equally devastating consequences for patients. When a dentist fails to meet the standard of care expected in the profession, patients can suffer severe physical, emotional, and financial harm.
Let’s look at examples of dental malpractice, discuss its lifelong impacts on patients, and highlight the importance of seeking legal counsel, such as Evergreen Personal Injury Counsel, to pursue compensation for injuries.
1. Failure to Diagnose:
Example: A dentist overlooks signs of oral cancer during a routine examination, leading to a delayed diagnosis and progression of the disease.
2. Surgical Errors:
Example: During a tooth extraction procedure, a dentist negligently damages nearby nerves, resulting in permanent numbness or loss of sensation in the patient’s mouth, lips, or tongue.
3. Incorrect Treatment:
Example: A dentist prescribes the wrong medication or performs unnecessary procedures, exacerbating the patient’s dental condition or causing new complications.
4. Anesthesia Errors:
Example: Improper administration of anesthesia leads to adverse reactions or complications during dental procedures, putting the patient’s health at risk.
5. Infection Control Violations:
Example: Failure to maintain proper sterilization protocols results in patients contracting infections, such as HIV or hepatitis, from contaminated dental instruments.
The consequences of dental malpractice can be far-reaching and long-lasting, significantly impacting a patient’s quality of life:
1. Physical Harm: Patients may experience chronic pain, permanent disfigurement, loss of function, or other debilitating injuries as a result of negligent dental care.
2. Emotional Distress: Dental malpractice can cause emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and loss of confidence, especially if it results in visible damage to one’s smile or facial appearance.
3. Financial Burden: Medical expenses related to corrective treatments, rehabilitation, and ongoing care can place a significant financial strain on patients and their families.
4. Reduced Quality of Life: The physical and emotional toll of dental malpractice can affect various aspects of a patient’s life, including their ability to eat, speak, socialize, and work.
Seeking compensation for dental malpractice requires navigating complex legal procedures and proving negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the dentist or dental facility. Here’s why contacting Evergreen Personal Injury Counsel is crucial for victims:
1. Legal Experience: Evergreen Personal Injury Counsel handles all types of personal injury cases, including dental malpractice, and has the legal knowledge and experience to effectively represent clients.
2. Investigation and Evidence Gathering: The legal team will conduct a thorough investigation, gather relevant medical records and expert opinions, and build a strong case to establish liability and damages.
3. Advocacy and Negotiation: Evergreen Personal Injury Counsel will advocate for the rights of the injured patient, negotiate with insurance companies or opposing parties, and strive to achieve fair compensation for their losses.
4. Maximum Compensation: With skilled legal representation, victims of dental malpractice can pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages incurred due to the negligence of the dentist or dental facility.
Dental malpractice can have profound and lasting effects on patients, impacting their physical health, emotional well-being, and financial stability. By recognizing examples of dental malpractice, understanding its lifelong impacts, and seeking legal assistance from Evergreen Personal Injury Counsel, victims can assert their rights, pursue justice, and receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries.
Don’t suffer in silence—reach out to a trusted legal partner to fight for your rights and hold negligent dentists accountable. Give them a call today!

New Mexico town grows algae for biofuels
El Dorado launched its demonstration plant in June 2011.
In the tiny town of Jal in southeastern New Mexico, the sun beats like fire on the desert shrubs.
On a small, razed patch of dirt about a mile outside town, water slowly circulates in four oval-shaped ponds. A bright emerald green sparkles in the water, reflecting thick strains of algae that line the raceways built by El Dorado Biofuels LLC.
The pools contain a hardy variety of algae that thrives under the scorching sun, said President and CEO Paul Laur.
“It gets to 116 degrees out here during the summer, and the algae loves it,” Laur said. “You can almost see it growing with your eyes. It’s going bonkers.”
More important, the Jal-grown algae, which the company calls “Jalgae,” is thriving in dirty, saline water that El Dorado has pumped from a nearby oil-and-gas well.
That makes the operation different from other algae-to-oil projects. El Dorado will sell Jalgae for biofuels, and as a feed supplement for cattle, but will also offer petroleum companies a new, inexpensive way to dispose of industrial water, Laur said.

During the 2003 Paris heat wave, the temperature hovered around 104F (40C) for seven consecutive days. While many took advantage of the hot spell, some 5,700 people died, many of them elderly.
During the August 2003 heat wave, there was a 127% rise in death rates in Paris, according to City Hall. It also found that abnormally high death rates continued after the heat wave ended. This was in part due to increased levels of air pollution trapped by the heat.
The city projects that heat waves will become more frequent and more intense during the 21st century, in the 2012 CDP Cities report.
During the 2003 heat wave, which affected the whole of France, Parisians were three times more vulnerable to heat-related deaths than people in the rest of the country.
One indirect upshot of the 2003 heatwave was a surge in the use of air-conditioning units. But they cool buildings at the expense of considerable greenhouse gas emissions. The effect on the environment of the flourinated gases in air-conditioner cooling units can be much greater than that of carbon dioxide. What's more, ADEME, the French agency for environment and energy management, estimates that as much as 10% of those fluids are lost through leaks.
In the future, the climate of Paris will be more like that of a city in southern Spain -- like Cordoba ... (So) for the first time we are creating a complete adaptation strategy, beginning with a very important survey studying our weaknesses and strengths against climate change.
Yann Francoise, Head of Energy and Climate Change, City of Paris
The number of deaths during the 2003 heat wave was a source of great controversy in France. Paris has since invested heavily in social measures to protect vulnerable citizens from unexpected spells of extremely hot weather. In addition, France's first city is planting thousands of trees, creating green rooftops, new parks and city farms to fix carbon and help keep the city cool.

Karachi is one of the largest cities in the world and its metro area population in 2023 is more than 17 million. Due to increasing population day by day, the economic hub has been facing law and order issues.
Unfortunately, in 2022, the city registered hundreds of offences that directly impacted thousands of residents’ lives.
As per the global organized crime index, Pakistan right now has a crime score of 6.28, which is much higher than other nations. According to the statistics, Pakistan ranks 29th among 193 countries. It is 10th among the 46 countries of Asia and second among the 8 countries of South Asia.
Due to increasing rates of crime, Karachi is becoming one of the most dangerous cities in the world where thousands of citizens are losing their valuables daily, but unfortunately due to a lack of governmental measures young offenders are free to rob thousands of citizens at gunpoint.
As per the crime statistics record of 2022 provided by the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee through RTI, the highest number of cases were reported of two-wheeler theft and mobile phone snatching.
In 2022, the most cases of street criminal activities reported by CPLC are two-wheelers theft — amounting to 51901 — and the second most reported crime is portable device snatching — a total of 28561. The recovery of phones was very low — only 593 mobile phones were recovered. The recovery of two-wheelers stood at 3182.
The other highest reported crime reported by CPLC is four-wheeler snatching in Karachi. In 2022, 2105 four-wheelers were stolen and 161 were snatched.
On the other hand, the ratio of homicide has also increased in 2022. As per data, a total of 593 incidents were reported.
Because of increased street crime in Karachi, the citizens are very much afraid to move freely in the streets. Pakistan’s economic hub has been facing a lack of governance to tackle the crime rate.
The official crime statistics of the Sindh Police revealed that more than 42,979 crimes against persons and property were reported in Karachi Range during the first seven months of 2022.
According to crime statistics, 12,779 incidents of motorcycle theft and 2,050 incidents of motorcycle snatch were reported.
The official data showed there was an increase in the snatching of portable phones and motorbikes and the theft of four-wheelers and two-wheelers. Nevertheless, there was a decline in the number of murders or damages during a crime against property and persons as compared to the previous year.
Saad Ahmed, who lives in North Nazimbad Block H, faced mobile snatching at gunpoint outside his home in November 2022. He said that he bought a new iPhone from his first office income but it was snatched at gunpoint.
Saad, who recently graduated from Karachi University, said he was so disappointed about the law and order situation in Karachi. “No one has taken strong action against culprits in Karachi,” he said.
Another citizen, Noman Shakeel, who lives in Korangi, said, “a snatcher snatched his bike at gunpoint at a local market in December. He filed an FIR but unfortunately, his vehicle still has not been recovered.”
Noman said, “Culprits are free to move in Karachi. No one is serious enough to catch the offender. “
Advocate Zia Ahmed Awan said due to the failure of the Sindh police and the malfunctioning of CCTV cameras, culprits are free to rob the citizens.
“Youths between the ages of 20 and 25 are involved in criminal activities because they do not have employment opportunities in Karachi,” Zia added.
“The basic reason for the failure to prevent crimes is the failure of criminal justice to give strong punishment to culprits who are involved in these types of criminal activities,” Zia added.
“The fear of committing dacoits and theft among the people involved in crimes is gradually disappearing because they are easily released from jail, due to which the robbers roam easily and there is no one to stop them.”

Description - Counter Mentor Leadership: How to Unlock the Potential of the 4-Generation Workplace by Kelly Riggs
This book is the result of over twenty-five years of combined experience from Kelly and Robby Riggs-dynamic, occasionally irreverent, always insightful, father (Boomer) and son (Millennial), who work with organizations grappling daily with multi-generational conflict. Through their collaboration, Kelly and Robby share their very different perspectives on the same problems most companies are STILL dealing with, but haven't had the courage or the tools, to address. Issues such as: a shocking lack of leadership skills; the culture-killing generational divide that is demolishing many companies; and the stunning, often unrecognized impact of technology on the workplace.In their "shamelessly funny, brilliantly written" debut book, Kelly and Robby will: Discuss today's workplace dynamics, including the changes in communication modes, the influx of technology, and the impact of Millennials and Digital Natives Explain how a one-sided approach to leadership focused on "managing" Millennials is grossly insufficient, resulting in an inability to attract and retain critical young talent Explore the new challenges of leadership inherent with the explosion of technology-time compression, distractions, complexity and the pace of change Reveal how old leadership challenges persist, and explore how the younger generation will expose those challenges more than ever Detail the CounterMentor leadership model and prescribe specific tactics and techniques for addressing both old and new leadership issues

SFPD Release of Public Information Following an Officer-Involved Shooting 20-012
As part of our commitment to transparency, the San Francisco Police Department works to provide the news media and our community with timely and accurate information following an officer-involved shooting (OIS). The following represents the SFPD Media Relations Unit response to an OIS.
Initial Media Relations Response:
In response to an OIS incident, an SFPD public information officer (PIO) will respond to the scene and assist in the establishment of a media staging area. The PIO will schedule and conduct a press briefing which will consist of factual information known at the time. If warranted, additional press briefings will be held.
Following the press briefing, the Media Relations Unit will publish a news release consisting of the information presented during the media briefing. During the subsequent days and weeks, as additional information is known, supplemental news releases may be issued.
Town Hall Meeting:
A town hall/community meeting will be held within ten days of an OIS involving SFPD personnel occurring within the City and County of San Francisco. The town hall meeting will be held in the community affected by the incident at a date and time to be determined by the Office of the Chief of Police.
Release of Involved Members Names:
It is the policy of the Department to release the names of any officer directly involved in an OIS within ten calendar days, provided no credible threats against the officers exist. The release of information may coincide with the town hall meeting and the names will be included in a news release. If a credible threat against the involved officers is known, the names of those officer(s) will be released as soon as the Department determines that the credible threat has passed.
Updating the Status of OIS Investigations:
The Department will issue a news release updating the community and news media of the status of open OIS investigations on a quarterly basis.

Our Ground Breaking Solution
The ActionSense team have developed a state of the art technology infused glove, which will analyse the movement of the hand, wrist and fingers, examining the flexibility and limitation in joint mobility of the patient’s hand through measurement of the maximum angular and velocity data.
Key features of the ActionSense glove include:
- Sensors placed on the fingers measuring linear movement;
- Sensor data is collected and returned to a control panel located on the wrist.
- Data is sent wirelessly to a remote application for analysis by the clinician.
This process allows the clinician to accurately diagnose the severity of the patient’s condition, prescribe treatments more efficiently and recommend rehabilitation plans, where appropriate.
How it Works
The ActionSense Data Glove provides detailed information on changes in the wearer’s joint mobility and flexibility. Clinicians can use this information for patient assessment and rehabilitation.
Comparison of completed exercise routines provides detailed movement analysis to the clinician on changes in joint mobility and flexibility.
An easy-to-use application provides informative and easily understandable feedback to the patient, and aids them to complete joint exercise routines at home. The goal of the ActionSense Data Glove is to motivate patient participation throughout their ambulatory rehabilitation, whilst providing detailed remote analysis of patient movement to the clinician.
The Software Behind the Technology
The ActionSense Motion Capture (MoCap) software provides tools to regulate glove functionality including sensor calibration, sensor recording and playback, and detailed analysis of recorded movement to measure and evaluate variance within exercise routines using statistical methods
The system is initialized for the patient in the clinic and is then subsequently used to record finger joint movement at the patents home. Customized exercise routines allow targeted measurement of specific finger joints and can be assigned to individual or groups of system users. The patient completes their first exercise routine at the clinic. This is defined as a baseline exercise routine and used for comparison against future completed objective routines.
Using the Software as a Predictive Tool
Intelligent techniques are applied in real-time to angular data throughout recording of patient movement. Each piece of sensor data is segmented into identified movement categories.
This data is presented using the MoCap analysis software. All timing information is displayed numerically and with colour coding. Colour coding each piece of data makes identification of movement changes easier to recognise and simplifies understanding of information. Statistical analytics are applied to each sub-section of movement to compare how segments within an exercise routine compare with other repetitions within the same exercise routine, or with other repetitions within different routines for the same patient.

Few places are more peaceful than the gentle slopes of France's Alsace wine region—but should any heinous crimes like grape theft occur, Jason the horse is on hand to catch the perpetrators.
Jean-Pierre Vazart has more than a dozen weather apps on his phone. But the winemaker, who grows Chardonnay grapes in France's Champagne region, is still stressed out.
2018 is shaping up to be a vintage year for French wine—the best for almost a decade.
Champagne's grape harvest kicked off on Monday, about two weeks earlier than usual, with the industry predicting a "very good" vintage of the prized bubbly thanks to ideal weather conditions.
Torrid temperatures across much of France have made the past few weeks unbearable for many, but with grape harvests kicking off this week, the country's winemakers say the heat could not have come at a better time.
When an Oregon valley famed for its wine heats up under the afternoon sun, Pacific Ocean winds rush through a dip in the mountains, cooling the grapes in Jeff Havlin's vineyards.
Grape growers have more tools to manage grape quality through the delivery of an improved powdery mildew assessment application, PMapp, and a new application, Grape Assess, available for Android and Apple devices.
In this story of wine and smoke taint, everyone knows "whodunit"—it's the smoke from wildfires. But it's the "how" that's got researchers and winemakers stymied. According to an article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), ...
Research from the Eisei Bunko Research Center of Kumamoto University reveals that Tadatoshi Hosokawa, a 17th-century lord of Kyusyu, Japan, ordered his people to produce not only wine but also opium for medical purposes.
The world drinks a lot of wine, and that means a lot of grapes are consumed every year. But not every part of the grape ends up in the bottle. Seeds, stalks and skins—roughly a quarter of the grapes —- are typically discarded ...

The jackpot is predicted to be the largest in the history of Mega Millions.
Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot was estimated at $1.58 billion, a record high for the lottery and one of the largest ever in the US.
The lottery is scheduled to take place at 11 p.m. ET, surpassing the previous Mega Millions high of $1.537 billion, according to the lottery. A single ticket sold in South Carolina won that prize.
The cash-out option is estimated at $783.3 million, the lottery adds that “at this level, the jackpot is difficult to predict with complete accuracy.”
The jackpot is bigger than all but two other US lotteries, the $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot in January 2016 and the November 2022 Powerball 2.04 billion jackpot.
There have been 31 draws held since the last time the winner of the Mega Millions jackpot was in New York on April 18, according to the lottery.
“It’s been exciting to see Mega Millions grow,” said Georgia Lottery President and CEO Gretchen Corbin, principal director of the Mega Millions Consortium, at the statement.
She added, “As the jackpot is higher than ever, we thank our players and retailers for their support, which benefits many legitimate causes. sponsored by our participating raffles.”
The previous four $1 billion Mega Million jackpots were won in 2018, 2021, 2022 and January 2023.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, DC and the US Virgin Islands. Tickets are $2 per play.
Players must match all five numbers plus the Mega Ball number to claim the jackpot. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350.

A collection of new alleged Samsung Galaxy S6 details emerged today teasing prospective buyers with potential Galaxy S6 specs and accessories ahead of its presumed launch date in early 2015.
Samsung still isn’t talking about the Galaxy S6 release which means that interested consumers must continue to rely on leaks and rumors to piece together the Galaxy S6 launch, Galaxy S6 release date and Galaxy S6 specs ahead of its arrival. Today, a new set of Galaxy S6 rumors point to a number of new and potentially important release details including bits about its specs and its accessories.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 specs sheet is shaping up ahead of its arrival and we continue to see bits and pieces unearthed. According to recent reports, Samsung’s expected to put a new processor inside the Galaxy S6 though there is some confusion as to whether the company will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810, its own Exynos 7 octo-core chip set or both.
A new report from ETNews suggests that the company is looking to put more Exynos chips inside of this year’s flagship, a move that would obviously shrink the reach of Qualcomm’s chip. While nothing is confirmed, Samsung’s Exynos 7420 chip has seemingly been benchmarked showing off its power ahead of the Galaxy S6’s launch date.
TechTastic recently discovered a GeekBench benchmark for an unspecified device that’s thought to be a Galaxy S6 variant. What’s also of note is that the benchmark shows off the presence of Android 5.0 Lollipop and 3GB of RAM, specs that would likely be reserved for a flagship model like the Samsung Galaxy S6.
Galaxy S6 rumors have pointed to the inclusion of 3GB of RAM and a toned down version of Android 5.0 Lollipop. Samsung will reportedly scale its TouchWiz user interface down to enhance performance on its next Galaxy S model.
In addition to those details, a report from Polish site Android.com outlines a number of potential Galaxy S6 accessories. We’ve seen rumors point to the arrival of an extensive list of Galaxy S6 accessories though this new information suggests that Samsung might be working hard to deliver a unique set of cases for the Galaxy S6.
The rumors indicate that Samsung’s working on at least three Samsung Galaxy S6 cases that could do more than just protect the phone. The report outlines a potential case that adds a secondary e-ink screen for those that love to read. It also details a case that could add camera features and another that could be an extension of S Health and help monitor blood sugar levels.
It also suggests that the company is hard at work on various sports-related accessories that could tie in with the company’s S Health initiative that took a huge leap with last year’s Galaxy S5 software and the company’s brand new wearables. Samsung is expected to announce a new round smartwatch alongside the Galaxy S6, a device that will likely compete against Apple’s new Apple Watch.
None of this is confirmed though Galaxy S6 rumors are starting to firm up ahead of the device’s arrival so much so that carriers are starting to tease the Galaxy S6 release well ahead of its announcement date.
A recent report from Korean publication ETNews suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will come with a 20MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization. Galaxy S6 rumors have gone back and forth between a 16MP and 20MP sensor though signs are starting to point to the larger sensor.
Galaxy S6 rumors also point to a collection of high-powered specifications including a souped up Quad HD display, Exynos 64-bit processor, a new design that employs premium materials perhaps aluminum or glass, wireless charging, and a release on all five major carriers in the United States which includes AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon.
The AT&T model recently showed up in a User Agent Profile string showcasing Quad HD resolution. While the UA Prof does not confirm the arrival of the Galaxy S6, the fact that the model number matches the Galaxy S6 model numbers that have leaked out numerous times in recent weeks makes it increasingly likely that AT&T will once again be on board with Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S smartphone.
Samsung’s Galaxy S6 launch date is currently rumored for March 2nd at MWC 2015 with a Galaxy S6 release date reportedly coming two to three weeks earlier than last year. Last year’s Galaxy S5 arrived in mid-April several weeks after it was announced at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, Spain.

Still developing at an extraordinary rate, the IT industry has become one of the largest industries in today’s world economy. A characteristic of this industry, and one which also helps explain its phenomenal growth, is extremely high investment in R&D. The spectacular developments in software and microelectronics technologies have also become key driving forces in ‘knock-on’ applications, such as electrical engineering.
The MOS-transistor (Metal Oxide Semi-conductor) is one of the cornerstones of state-of-the-art microelectronics. This device makes it possible to control, with high precision, a current in a semiconductor by applying a voltage to an insulated gate electrode. What is more, the power required to do this is extremely low. The MOS-transistor lends itself to very cost-efficient manufacturing, all the small features building up the transistor function being created in a planar process using photolithographic methods similar to those used in the printing industry.
Handling high power – the traditional approach
Traditionally, the electronic conversion of electrical power in the high-power region has made use of the principle of line-commutated frequency conversion, with thyristors used to control the current flow. The thyristor is the equivalent of a ‘binary current valve’ with two discrete states, one conducting and one blocking the current. Turn-on is accomplished by injection of a gate current, with turn-off determined by the 50/60Hz line voltage passing through zero. However, the fact that the thyristor cannot be turned off with the gate terminal, limits the range of applications for this device.
Boosting thyristor performance Gate-controlled turn-off was introduced in the late 1970s with the Gate Turn-Off (GTO) thyristor. By making it possible to build efficient converters for controlling the output frequency, the GTO opened the door to variable-speed AC motor drives and other similar applications. However, power losses are higher with the GTO than with classical thyristors, and elaborate units for supplying the high gate currents became necessary.
A remarkable improvement in GTO thyristor performance came with the introduction by ABB in 1997 of a new device concept – the Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT). This new technology featured precisely controlled injection and extraction of gate currents in thyristors by means of an integrated gate drive unit. Using this concept, the freewheeling diode can be integrated on the same semiconductor wafer, simplifying the mechanical design of the converter. The homogeneous switching across the device area results in lower losses than with the GTO. Typical uses include large drive systems and traction power supply systems.
Merging power with micro electronics
Numerous attempts have been made to combine the microelectronics used for precise control of the low-voltage signals in integrated circuits, with the high power handling capabilities needed for power semi-conductor devices. The most successful to date has been the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), which combines a high-impedance, low-power gate input with the power-handling capacity of normal bipolar transistors and thyristors.
Control of the IGBT is accomplished by means of a pattern of MOS transistors, distributed on the surface of the device. These MOS transistors allow high-impedance control of the current flow through the device, so that only an extremely low power has to be supplied to the control gate.
IGBT performance is related directly to the properties of the surface MOS transistor cells, and the success of these devices is largely due to the continuous development of the cell structures, in many cases using technologies that were developed for microelectronics circuits.
Although the 1980s saw substantial progress made in the development and production of IGBTs for lower voltages (600-1200 V), it was not until the beginning of the 1990s that it was realised that the same concept could also be used for higher voltages. The MOS transistors on the surface of the wafers, like the silicon wafer thickness, are optimised for high performance when the IGBT is conducting current and for very low losses when the device switches to the off-state to prevent current flowing.
Power semiconductor losses are proportional to the square of the device thickness, so reducing this thickness is an obvious choice when considering what to optimise. ABB has made a ‘quantum’ leap, reducing the thickness of 1200-V IGBTs to less than 70% of the thickness of previous devices. Being able to manufacture extremely thin silicon wafers is key to this performance, as it minimises the silicon material in the current path and hence the electrical losses.
Although the performance of power semiconductors based on silicon will continue to improve, fundamental limitations inherent in this material are within sight. Maximum power-handling density (robustness) and thermal stability (losses, cooling) are important performance parameters that will be limited by silicon. Silicon high-power diodes are already approaching these limits. Converters capable of much higher switching frequencies would be an attractive option for the high (>10 MW) power levels in typical transmission and distribution applications.
One very promising alternative is to build devices based on silicon carbide (SiC). Due to the high atomic binding energy (bandgap) and high specific electric field strength of this semiconductor material, optimised devices made of SiC potentially offer one or two decades of performance improvement when compared with silicon-based devices.
Also, as SiC can be operated at considerably higher temperatures than silicon, it is possible for the power semiconductor to be integrated directly in electrical equipment such as generators and motors. Commercial silicon carbide Schottky diodes for low-voltage applications (600 V), for use in power supply products and power factor correction circuits, are now coming onto the market.
ABB committed to silicon carbide power devices some five years ago. As a first step, silicon IGBTs can be combined with these SiC power diodes to form hybrid modules. Using techniques known from silicon devices, power loss savings of 40-60% have been measured in typical converter configurations. ‘All-SiC’ power modules, including switching devices made of silicon carbide, have the potential to reduce the total converter losses to as little as 10-20% of today’s technology.
A growing field of applications
Another area in which power electronics is driving growth is microgrid technology, where it is essential for connecting small-scale distributed generation units to individual consumers and the utility network.
Electricity from fuel cells, wind turbines and solar panels is generated at low DC voltage levels, and power electronics solutions are needed to convert it to usable voltages and frequencies. As renewable energy resources are usually located some distance from the large cities, new power electronics-based technologies will allow the energy to be fed into the power grid for transmission.
Another advantage of the new power electronics-based technologies is that they allow the reduction of electricity infrastructures, minimising environmental, especially visual, impact and freeing valuable space and resources for other uses.


Hundreds of tenants at a rent-controlled San Jose apartment complex are about to be displaced by a new high rise development.
The tenants at Reserve Apartments on Wednesday took action to try to get financial help for their unexpected move as as protect other tenants during forced removal.
Many residents at the old 216-unit apartment complex on Winchester Boulevard said they knew it was an uphill battle to save their homes. A huge new development to replace the Reserve apartments by next year will offer more than 600 units, as well as retail shops and a parking garage.
The city approved the project and residents will have 120 days to vacate once final permits and other steps are completed.
"It's going to be difficult to move out," tenant Alex Piryazev said. "It's hard. It hurts."
The South Bay Tenants Union and the Affordable Housing Network on Wednesday met with councilman Chappie Jones' office. The group is angry San Jose does not require developers to provide relocation benefits.
Greystar Real Estate Partners is the developer for the new high rise. The firm did offer tenants housing in other Greystar complexes, but at a much higher rate.
"Some of these are low-income people. This is rent controlled," said Shaunn Cartwright with the South Bay Tenants Union. "So 216 units, which may be 500 people, are looking for more low-income housing."
Jones' office told tenants and NBC Bay Area the councilman will propose requiring developers to provide money to displaced tenants and, in a separate move, set up a city-wide relocation policy to insure tenant assistance in the future.
Tenants said even with the city council's approval, the new complex is not a done deal. Groups are considering filling permit challenges citing environmental concerns.
Jones' office said the councilman will make his proposals on April 19 when the city's rent control policy is addressed.

I've a thing for vintage toleware. Whether it be lamps, trays or hooks, I like it.
Occasionally, it hasn't weathered the years well and needs a little work.
Such was the case with this vintage daisy rack I found recently, let's just call it 'rough and rusty'.
After a bubble bath, a good scrub, and lots of sanding...
I carefully primed and painted each petal.
Happy to see fresh daisies once again. Although some might prefer it chipped and shabby, I knew I wouldn't be happy having the girls hang their towels on something so rusty.
Have you tried Martha's new line of crafty paints?
I used her white enamel paint, and her 'peridot' metallic glitter paint on the leaves for dimension.
I'm pleased with the end result. Now, if they can only remember to hang up their towels...
