THE producers of one of the country’s most popular soap operas have called on a Harrogate lawyer for advice.
Coronation Street approached Marilyn Stowe, the founder of Stowe Family Law, for assistance with a looming custody battle that involves three of the soap’s characters, six-year-old Simon Barlow, his father Peter and grandfather George.
A family lawyer with more than 25 years experience, Mrs Stowe was asked to help the producers create a storyline as realistic as possible.
The story is now unfurling on our screens but Mrs Stowe is keeping tight-lipped about what happens next.
It isn’t the first time that Mrs Stowe’s expertise have featured on the airwaves. The lawyer was previously approached by the producers of the BBC’s longest-running radio programme The Archers. She advised producers on a divorce scandal centred upon controversial businessman Matt Crawford.
Mrs Stowe also made headlines after volunteering her expertise and uncovering previously undisclosed medical evidence that secured the freedom of Sally Clark, the Cheshire mother wrongly jailed for life for the murders of her two infant sons.
Stowe Family Law has offices in Harrogate and Cheshire. Another is due to open in Central London later this year.
The 43-strong firm specialises in all aspects of family law, including divorce, children law and international family law. The firm also has a team of forensic accountants who specialise in tracking down hard-to-find assets.

Hi, my name is Kevin Clarkston. I’m a part-time freelance writer, blogger, and musician. I love music. Rap, hard rock, pop. dance, R&B, it doesn’t matter. I’ve been playing piano since I was nine, and also taught myself how to play guitar. I went to Northwestern State University where I graduated with a degree in journalism. While there I wrote for the school paper and worked as the music director for the campus radio station.
I currently work as a production tech at a television station in Alexandria, Louisiana, but writing about music and pop culture are my true passions. What I love most about pop music is how democratic it is. Two people might not be anything a like, but they can find common ground in a favorite song. I’ve done freelance work for sites like Suite101 and Metronome Review, I also maintain a music blog, Indies and The Underground, that profiles up and coming artists as well established acts that are creative and cutting edge. I also write album reviews, do artist interviews and post general music news.
I’m excited about joining up with The Truth About Music and sharing my opinions on music.
I emailed your “indies and the underground” account about the new tracks I have for my solo project, Poster Child. I was featured on your other blog a couple of months ago, hopefully i could get some exposure in your The Truth About Musci Blog.
I’m currently working on a full length album, set to be release this coming August entitled “Watchers”. It’s all focusing on thought provoking concepts about aliens/religion/government etc. Hope you dig the tunes and thanks for your time.
ANDE’, a neo soul artist, based in Dallas, Texas is making waves with her debut single “Let It Happen”. We would love to send you her EPK for consideration.

text: Today is the memorial of St Joseph the Worker, a response to the celebration of Workers’ Day in certain cultures; Joseph’s great virtue was of course that of silent obedience, and that we should do well to imitate. I’m suggesting however that we take instead the readings for the Easter season. Both of them tell us ‘what happened next’. The first reading is the aftermath of the appointment of the seven ‘deacons’ to deal with an instance of racial and religious tension in the early Church. One of those appointed was Stephen, and to our astonishment we find him, not waiting at table, as we had supposed, but ‘full of grace and power, doing great portents and signs among the people’. This leads to an encounter with the members of one or more synagogues, who are evidently of the same Greek-speaking background as himself; and that in turn leads to a false charge before a kangaroo court, and, ultimately, to his death; but our last glimpse of him is as of a ‘face like that of an angel’. The gospel for today is another aftermath, that of Jesus walking on the water, after the feeding of the 5000, and it has Jesus and the disciples mysteriously arrived on land, and the crowd ‘looking for Jesus’ and asking (an excellent question, this), ‘Lord when did you come here?’ Jesus responds somewhat reprovingly, and tells them (like Joseph) to do God’s work, which is ‘to believe in the one whom God has sent’. There is a challenge for us today.

You’ve worked long and hard, sacrificing to build a solid reputation. When you’re out of the room, you know what they’re saying: He’s an innovative marketer. She’s a terrific business owner. But what if you now want to re-brand yourself?
Re-branding isn’t easy, and if your plan is poorly thought out, you’ll end up confusing yourself and others. Start by determining where you really want to invest your energy. Check out relevant industry trade journals, do informational interviews, even try some internships.
Whether it’s taking a leadership role in professional organizations or creating online content (like blogs or podcasts), it’s essential to show others how you think and what you can do. As knowledge workers, there’s no other way for them to get a sense of our abilities.
3. Puffed up PR doesn’t reinvent anything.
Shortcuts to closing the delta between an existing and desired brand don’t work. A new logo, inauthentic self promotion or trumped-up taglines can’t revolutionize your place in a market. There has to be substance to your efforts, and true reinvention is hard work.
Real reinvention starts with showing your value to others. If you really want to re-brand, you have to solve a problem or address a true need of someone else. What you do for others, not what you say, is your real brand. I believe this is the single biggest factor of success for a person in a job or a company in a marketplace.
There has to be more than a change in words – there has to be a change in actions as well. And not just once but over time.

Watha T. Daniel/Shaw -- The building for the Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Interim Library will be delivered to its site at 925 Rhode Island Avenue, NW on Thursday, April 12. Work has begun to remove and replace the existing foundation with concrete bases that meet District Code. To protect students and pedestrians, a 6-foot fence has been erected around the site temporarily until the work is completed. The interim library is expected to open in mid-June 2007.
All four closed libraries will be demolished by the end of July 2007. Contracts were awarded to two D.C.-based construction firms. Preliminary work begins this week, with the bulk of the demolition work commencing in early May.
A schedule for building new Anacostia, Benning, Tenley-Friendship and Watha T. Daniel/Shaw neighborhood libraries has been finalized. The evaluation process is underway for the selection of the architectural/engineering firm(s) that will provide design services. A series of community meetings at each location will be scheduled soon.

Prosecution submits plea bargain signed by Ghattas in which he admits to the crimes with which he is charged.
The Beer Sheva Magistrates Court convicted former MK Basel Ghattas (Joint Arab List) of providing means for performing an act of terror, smuggling electronic equipment into a prison and transferring it to prisoners, transferring letters prohibited according to the Prison's Law, and offenses of fraud and breach of trust.
The prosecution submitted the plea bargain signed with Ghattas in which he admitted the offenses he was charged with by the prosecutor. The plea bargain states that after Ghattas admits committing the crimes he is alleged to have committed, he will resign his Knesset seat and serve a two year jail sentence and a two year suspended sentence.
"My acts stemmed from conscientious, personal motives and humanitarian feelings toward the prisoners. I take full responsibility for my actions," said Ghattas last week.
Ghattas claimed at a press conference in Nazereth that "from the first moment I left the Ketziot prison on December 18th, 2016 up until today, I have been subjected to an aggressive and racist incitement campaign which included police sources spreading lies to create the illusion that I had performed serious security offenses."
"The media took part in the lynch against me, trying me in a kangaroo court and consequently, leading the government to cross a number of red lines simply because I am an Arab member of Knesset," added Ghattas. "For the first time, the immunity of an MK was removed under threat. Immediately after this I was arrested for five days without being interrogated during this period."

9 tips for your first kids ski lesson are a good insider to follow when the ski vacations are the entire family’s favourite type of winter holidays, but you wonder what will be reaction of your little one to this wonderful snow sport. Outdoor activities, good food, fun and a lot of movement, what else to wish? Sounds perfect for you, but what about the little ones – children who never tried skiing before? For them should be the perfect time to learn!
Following are our 9 tips for your first kids ski lesson.
The ideal age to start skiing depends on every child apart, but normally from the moment he can stand on the skis and got used to the snow, can be introduced to the art of skiing. In general, should be around the age of 3-4 years old.
You love skiing and want your children be as happy as you are on the slope. That’s understandable and that’s the goal, but sometimes, at least at the beginning, the little ones may be not very excited about it. That’s why is very important to create the little ski fairy tale for him: tell him funny stories about skiing, show him nice videos, say that his favourite carton character is also skiing etc. This way you can make him to dream about skiing even before he knows what skiing really is and from there the learning process will be much easier.
If you decide to let your child ski is very important to choose professional ski instructors. In learning, the teacher is essential! You might be very good at skiing, but that’s not enough also for teaching. The little ones should learn from the beginning to ski correctly, as is much harder later to correct the bad habits. Thus, you should look for a child-friendly instructor who know how to talk to children and ski courses that turn into real performances full of fun for children.
Private or group ski lessons?
A private ski instructor that will be able to concentrate on your kid’s individual need is advisable, but if you still tend to opt for group ski lessons, get familiar with the offer and choose the best option for your child. Choose a ski school that offers a well prepared teaching program and a small sized group (to make sure that your child is well monitored) where children are all the same age and the same level of skiing. More detailed info about private kids ski lessons.
Strictly necessary ski equipment for your child include the ski suit – warm and waterproof jacket and trousers, gloves, boots and helmet. Equipment must mandatory have thermal isolation, breathability and impermeability. Seeing that at this age the children grow very fast, you might not be willing to invest too much in the skiing clothing and look for second hand items (you can find plenty on ebay or amazon websites), but don’t sacrifice on quality!
Before going on the slopes for the first time, is good for your little one to get used with the ski boots. The more he will wear the boots before (not a must on the snow), the better he will understands how to move on the slopes and will develop also the leg muscles.
Another important step is to get your kid used to the snow. Normally kids love to play and have fun in the snow. Try tubing, sleighing, building a snowman or making snow angels together. This will help him to get used to the texture of snow and the cold weather outside.
We love skiing, but we are definitely in love with après-skiing experience. That Glühwein mug is like a well-deserved reward after the pleasant effort of going down the slopes. Well, your child should also receive his reward. No, don’t take him to a pub, but a cup of hot chocolate, a delicious panna cotta or any other treat you know he would like should be mandatory.
Like the first steps, you’ll definitely want to have in your family collection the first skiing experience of your children. If you prefer to leave the kid alone with the ski instructor for better concentration and learning, ask the instructor to take some pictures and videos. Most of the schools can provide this service. This way you might also have a video analyse of the ski performance and gradual improvement.
Don’t be very stressed about the entire process, focus on the fun and your child will definitely get to love the skiing experience just as much as you do!

Anti aging creams, nonetheless are predominantly topical moisturizers that are made specifically for the skin to replenish the skin with enough moisture and stop the development of wrinkles, blemishes, pigmentation and discolorations. Most of these products are proven effective so they end up being marketed actively on the internet as top of the line skin care products. However, although some of the most popular brands have already established their roots in the skin care industry, one study found out that most of the best performing creams in the market can only reduce wrinkles by only about ten percent of the total number of wrinkles and that is for 12 weeks of usage. Another research discovered that most of the cheap moisturizers that are readily available on convenience stores can provide the same effective benefits just like the high-priced branded anti-wrinkle creams.
This proves that consumers are sometimes misled by commercialpropaganda and not getting enough from the anti aging creams they usually buy. Most consumers do not even know what contained in the lotions and moisturizers they buy and only relies on the popularity of the brand. To give you a quick review, the conventional anti aging moisturizing creams contain ingredients such as Retinol, Alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs), peptides, Conenzyme Q10, Anti-oxidant elements and sunscreens. If all these elements are in enough concentration and the mode of application on the skin is followed then the effect could be positive. However some pharmaceutical companies do not elaborately indicate in their labels the content of their moisturizers and this may mislead the consumer in thinking that they are buying products just perfect for their skin.
Nevertheless the best anti aging creams can defy the effect of nature on the skin because these creams also come from nature. For example anti aging vitamins derived from plants, herbs and flowers are most appropriate because they have natural formula that counteract the aging of the skin and prevent wrinkle formation. The cream can also contain other natural elements such as honey, essential oils, plants, fruit extracts and so on. So whenever you buy your anti aging cream do not just rely on the brand but read the label and see what it says about the product and its component and better prefer natural anti aging cream.
Next Why Should We Use Natural Skin Care Products ?

In recent years, shark mitigation has become a topic of international debate after Western Australia began culling sharks in response to a spate of fatal shark bite incidents in the region. This was followed by La Reunion Island instating a culling program and banning water activities at certain beaches after they also recorded a rise in shark bite incidents. Despite pressure from the public and scientists for governments to adopt non-lethal shark control policies, both WA and Reunion Island proceeded with their lethal shark control programs.
In June 2014, scientists and experts from all over the world descended upon Durban, South Africa to attend the Sharks International conference. The conference was an opportunity for the world’s shark experts to share their latest research findings and discuss developments in shark conservation. We took this opportunity to raise the issue of shark control and ask the delegation of more than 300 attendees what their expert views were on the management of sharks to mitigate the risks posed to ocean users.
Unfortunately, many scientists and experts often choose not to enter into the shark control debate through fear of losing their job or funding for their research. Therefore, to ensure we collected views from all sectors, we allowed conference delegates to anonymously complete our survey, giving individuals the freedom to speak out on the issue.
We found that 97% of experts were opposed to any form of lethal control and 89% were supportive of non-lethal control measures.
The remainder of delegates surveyed were either in favour of lethal control measures (3%) or didn’t think that any form of control was necessary (11%) due to the minute risk that sharks pose to humans.
Frequently, delegates highlighted that culling programs are detrimental to many forms of marine life, not just sharks, and that culling is an outdated control method.
Historically, shark culling programs have not been viewed as an effective approach to managing the risk of shark bites on ocean users. In fact, when shark culling was carried out in Hawaii (between 1959 to 1976), over 4,500 sharks were killed, and yet there was no significant decrease in the number of shark bites recorded.
Culling has been the primary shark mitigation policy of the New South Wales Government for over 60 years through the use of “shark” nets. A report by the Department of Primary Industries showed that, despite this, 23 of the 139 (17%) shark bite incidents in the state between 1937 and 2009 occurred at netted beaches, the very beaches that are meant to be protected from such events.
Many experts stated that more investment is needed to develop new technologies for monitoring sharks and the use of non-lethal deterrents should be explored further. Of the non-lethal approaches suggested, experts were divided with a relatively even number promoting tag and release methods, shark exclusion zones (ie: Eco-Barrier), aerial patrols, and shark spotting programs.
Concerns were raised, however, over the expense and effectiveness of some of these programs, and some experts questioned whether it was necessary to implement any form of control at all (lethal or non-lethal). Rather, some experts suggested that the money should be invested into educating the public about the risks of entering the ocean and how individuals can reduce their risk of a negative encounter with a shark.
To conclude, there is a clear concern amongst global shark experts that current lethal control policies being employed in Australia, South Africa, and worldwide are no longer appropriate given advances in modern technology and our greater understanding of the important role sharks play in marine ecosystems. Greater investment in research, public education, and non-lethal shark management strategies is seen as the best way forward.

Quality pre-K sets our children up for success. Nearly 85% of a child’s brain is formed by the time they turn five and those first few years are the most important to their brain development and long-term success. Children who attend quality pre-K programs are less likely to repeat a grade, more likely to graduate from high school, and less likely to need supportive services in school.
PHLpreK helps children and families prepare for Kindergarten and beyond by providing quality care and instruction to children. For this blog we partnered with PHLpreK program Something to Grow On to take you through a day in the life of a PHLpreK student.
*Manipulatives are objects that are used to engage students in hands-on learning of mathematics.
It’s 8:30am, and the pre-K students are arriving, greeted by their teacher and assistant teacher, they kiss their parents goodbye, so that they can join the activities of the day. Breakfast is served: Warm pancakes with syrup, apple sauce, and milk. Once hands and faces are washed, it is time for activities!
The classroom is arranged into centers, and the children go to the math and manipulative* areas to get puzzles, peg boards, pattern blocks, table blocks, matching cards and other manipulatives that assist in improving their fine motor skills.
Next, to get ready for circle time, the children clean-up their activities, push in their chairs, and find a cozy place to sit on the rug.
Along with hand clapping, thigh tapping, and feet stomping, songs like Good morning to you and I am Special are sung. Next, it’s on to music and movement. Many children elect to play an instrument while others have decided to use their bodies to sway. Several children have gathered in a circle and begin to walk around and around.
Once the music is finished the children return to the rug to review the classroom rules. “What’s rule #1?” the teacher asks as she holds one finger in the air. The class shouts out “We help each other; we do not hurt each other.” After going over the remaining rules the children explore all the activity centers.
At the easel, a student is using the available colors to make a rainbow. The teacher sings the “rainbow song” with the child; the student notices that the color purple is missing. The teacher encourages the child to think about what two colors are needed to make purple. After much debate, it is decided that red and blue make purple.
A student learns how to use a hammer to build things under the watchful eyes of the teacher.
At the science center, there are magnifying glasses, a model of a nasal cavity, bug models, books and puzzles about space exploration, a skeleton called “Bob”, and plants. Paper and pencil are always available to allow the children to draw their observations.
In the quiet/cozy area, soft stuffed toys and a puffy blanket provide an opportunity for a child to cozy up with a book, or perhaps have a quiet space to reflect.
In the dramatic play area, food is the theme of the day as children dress as adults and feed their babies – preparing bottles, and baby food. Menus are available for take-out food, and teachers ask questions about how the students prepare some of their favorite dishes.
In the block area, there are 4 different types of blocks available to build with. The children are encouraged to think about ways that their foundations can be made more durable. Modes of transportation, animals, people, and train tracks are available for further imaginative play.
It is time for outdoor play. Children have a choice of scooters, riding toys, basketball, chalk, bubbles, a sand table, outdoor blocks, and hula hoops. Nature walks occur weekly when the weather is nice. This activity gives the teacher the opportunity to talk about the environment and gives the children an opportunity to describe what they see.
After lunch, the children spend more time at the centers, then it’s time for departures, and the teachers prepare for another day!

wo million additional dollars are needed to finance an overhaul of Lee Hall, a project that was initially slated to cost $17 million, according to Vice President of Administration and Finance Rick Hurley.
Hurley said UMW’s original cost estimate fell $1.5 million under the lowest bid from six different construction firms, which prompted the school’s request for $2 million from the General Assembly.
If passed, State financing would absorb the $1.5 million cost overrun, and provide a $500,000 cushion for the contingency costs that Hurley said were inevitable during large-scale construction projects.
“We need the contingency because in a renovation, you never know what you are going to run into when you start tearing down walls and taking up floors,” Hurley said.
According to Hurley, the $2 million supplement would not draw from the same voter-approved bond-package that’s currently covering $16 million worth of Lee Hall construction-related costs, but other state-issued bonds would be used to finance the cost overrun.
Hurley said that $1 million of the $17 million currently appropriated for construction will come from student funds, to cover the cost of moving the University’s bookstore to the modular units located on Westmoreland’s lawn.
Bookstore Director Kim McManus said that students can expect some good deals as the March 27 move-out date approaches.
McManus is apprehensive about moving to the modular units, but said she is looking forward to a renovated Lee Hall, which will include enough additional space for the bookstore to hold a small sitting area with coffee service.
Some of the modular units that will be housing the bookstore during the 18-month construction period were brought to campus Saturday, Feb. 17.
Hurley responded to student complaints about the loss of Westmoreland lawn, and denied rumors that the lawn would be converted into a parking lot.
The occupation of Westmoreland lawn will not be the only loss students face during Lee Hall construction.
Parking spaces currently reserved for sophomores and juniors will be usurped during the construction period when contractors inhabit part of the Sunken Road parking lot. The University will not know the number of spaces lost until the contractor comes on site, according to associate vice president of facilities services John Wiltenmuth.
Hurley said that traffic congestion around Lee Hall could be problematic, but that any of Sunken Road lot’s 196 parking spaces lost to construction could be covered by the 440 space parking deck.
“We’ll be directing the parking that they’re going to lose to the construction site to the deck,” Hurley said.
Student fees will not finance the $16 million debt UMW accrues from the Lee Hall project, but the proposed new Residence Halls and Goolrick field improvements will be paid for with student dollars.
The lowest-bidder for Lee Hall project, D.C.-based Smith Management Construction, Inc., has not been awarded the construction contract, according to Ellie Drew of UMW’s purchasing office.
Drew said that S.C.M.I.’s bid was not unreasonable, because construction estimates are generally difficult to perform.
“We never really know what kind of numbers to expect. We have a ball-park figure, but costs change all the time,” Drew said.
Wiltenmuth said bids for the recently-constructed Jepson Alumni Center also came in over-budget.
Construction on Lee Hall will experience a slight delay while the University secures additional funding, according to Wiltenmuth, who said that dealing with bureaucracy can be a frustrating experience.
Both Hurley and Richard Pearce, associate vice president of business and finance, expressed relief that the low-bidding firm was only $1.5 million over budget.
“It’s not that bad of an increase,” Pearce said. “The cost of construction has been skyrocketing over the last three years. We were happy that it was only $1.5 million over.
UMW joins several other state schools in requesting additional funds from the Virginia General Assembly to finance campus construction projects.
The renovation and expansion of Lee Hall is included in a list of projects designated “high-priority” this month by a House Appropriations subcommittee report to the State General Assembly.
The report highlights $168.8 million dollars worth of higher education and state park construction cost overruns recognized in House Bill 1712 as eligible for State financing.
Other high-priority construction projects included in House Bill 1712 $42 million for the new School of Education at the College of William & Mary, $36 million for a new Informational Technology Engineering building at the University of Virginia and a $15.3 million addition to Longwood University’s Bedford Hall.
Pearce was confident in the University’s ability to secure $2 million in addition to the $16 million in state bonds already authorized for the costs associated with renovating and expanding Lee Hall.
If the $2 million request passes the General Assembly, Governor Kaine will have 30 days to either amend the bill and send it back to the House, or sign the bill into law. The bill could be in effect as early as April, according to Pearce.

Former chefs Ryan Meany and David Szlam hung up their aprons in 2011 to produce whiskey, seeking to bring forth a premium, infused option. They source heirloom ginger from a farm less than 30 miles away for this small-batch bourbon, comprising 60 percent corn and 36 percent rye. It’s infused with the raw, hot spice of hand-harvested ginger, and is never artificially or extraneously sweetened in any way—taking summer Whiskey Sours and soda-splashed Highballs to whole new levels.
According to Mad River in Vermont, its bourbon makes for a great Old Fashioned or Julep.
FEW has been in operation since 2011, and drinkers will love this two-birds-with-one-stone option for a home bar. Fantastic spice and heat comes courtesy of a higher-than-usual rye content in the mash bill, as well as distiller Paul Hletko’s use of a peppery yeast normally found in Saison beers. The result is hot and feisty, with undercurrents of sweet toffee and baking spice from the corn and oak.
Nothing tastes better than a well-deserved bourbon after a summer hike, and the High West tasting room is literally on the ski mountain. Its ultra-aromatic American Prairie has nuances of candy corn, honey nougat, and sweet biscuits. Named for the American Prairie Reserve in Montana—a partnership to establish the largest, privately owned land preserve in America—ten-percent of profits from bottle sales are donated to the cause.
Where better to distill bourbon than corn country? This flyover state’s distillery has 47 acres and a winery, attracting 65,000 visitors a year. “We let Mother Nature do the aging,” says owner and distiller Jeff Quint, whose bourbon is the No. 3 seller in Iowa, with 74-percent corn and a gorgeous, sip-able sweetness.

Today we signed up for the Big Ice Glacier Tour with Hielo y Aventura. Their bus picked us up at our hotel and drove us about an hour to see the glacier. The first stop was at an overlook at the front of the glacier.
Then we took the bus down to the edge of the glacial lake and boarded a boat.
Once on the other side, we met up with our guides, got fitted for crampons, and began the hike to the glacier. The Mini Treking groups had only a few minutes walk before getting to the glacier, but since we were on the Big Ice tour we hiked for about an hour along the side of the glacier before stepping onto the ice.
Mid way through the glacier hike, we stopped for lunch next to this beautiful blue pool of glacial melt water.
After we hiked back, turned in our crampons, rode the boat, rode an hour in the bus, we were exhausted. Definitely nap time. At 9:30 our hotel had arranged a Christmas Eve dinner for all the guests. We had lots of food and wine and then champagne at midnight. There were lots of interesting people staying at the hotel – Jorge, the Spanish police officer from Zaragosa, a guy headed to Iraq with the national guard when he got home, Lisa, an Irish girl teaching in Colombia.

I would really appreciate it if the health professionals in this site gave me a little helping hand with this case.
Investigations revealed: Urine protein and paraprotein very very high, beta 2 microglobulin v. high, patient eventually dies of heart failure. why?
Assumption: high-output congestive heart failure due to anaemia and the diffuse bone marrow infiltration not related to any amylodosis.
It's high-output congestive heart failure due to myeloma it self not anemia!
because increased concentration of circulating protein in the blood can increase the volume of plasma that the heart has to pump around, and this can cause 'heart failure'.
It can also increase the thickness of the blood (viscosity), particularly if it is a type of myeloma resulting in production of a large antibody (IgM or IgA rather than IgG).
Normal blood is about twice as viscous as water, whereas blood in this type of myeloma may be five or six times more viscous than water.

The barking dog sound library showcases the sound of a female German Shepherd barking in 58 clips and 1.35 gigabytes.
The field recordings were captured in 15 synchronized takes. Close barking was recorded with a Sennheiser MKH 8060 on a boom and DPA 4060 microphone attached to the necklace (2 channels). Distant, worldized takes were provided by a Neumann RSM-191 and a Holophone (6 channels) to convey space, echo, and slap back. Together, they depict the dog barking outside in a field, in an alley, and inside a reverberant space, like a warehouse. Performances include fast, steady barking, sporadic barking, and some whining and movement.
Each clip is embedded with multiple fields of professional metadata. Reaper and Pro Tools sessions are included to allow the tracks to be mixed easily.

Whats the procedure for a Linear workflow in TG3?
Do you have to apply a gamma correction on the shaders? I assume you would need to on any SRGB texture files.
In all versions of Terragen 2 or 3, the Image Map Shader has a built-in "convert to linear" setting which defaults to gamma 2.2 (which is an approximation to sRGB). This assumes you are loading an sRGB texture and want a linear workflow. If your texture is linear (e.g. an EXR) then you should set "data is linear" or set the conversion gamma to 1.0.
In the professional version will the render view window display linear files?
Or will you need to save the Liner file out and view it in an external viewer that will convert it to SRGB?
In all versions of Terragen 2 or 3 the Render View uses whatever gamma is set in the "Effects" tab of the render node. It defaults to 2.2. The whole setup is designed for a linear workflow and display on a gamma 2.2 display by default. However, this display gamma is baked(*) into the 8-bit or 16-bit low-dynamic-range image which the Render View displays, so if you want to change the gamma you'd need to re-render, but if you want a linear workflow you shouldn't need to change the gamma. EXR output is *always* linear, and ignores the gamma on the render settings.
(*) We might be able to make this dynamic in future.
You might see differences between the Render View and an external EXR viewer because Terragen has some built-in tone mapping controls (on the "Effects" tab) which affect the low dynamic range image, but not the EXR. If you turn off "contrast" and "soft clip effect" it should be perfectly linear.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you'd like anything explained differently.
Just because milk is white doesn't mean that clouds are made of milk.
Hi Oshyan, or whoever answers this.
So have we been told everything now, about whats new? Or are there some things you still have not reveled?
I saw rain in someones post in image sharing. Whats that about? I got the feeling it was TG generated and not post or import of some kind. But the image post did not say much.
By the way, I saw the video for the population editor. That is a nice addition! I was very happy with what I saw. I know I said so earlier from the announcement. But the video really shows it off nice. I expect I'll use that tool in just about every project.
That may have been my image called "Farm" in the image sharing forum. It was a TG2 render and the ripples in the pond were objects with a water shader. The rain drops were post processed using Perfect Photo Suite.
A TG 2.5 scene was loaded into TG 3 Free.
Why or for what are some shaders/nodes are "whitened" (or have white outlines) now in the Node Network window?
I'm sry if this got already answered somewhen/somewhere before and i was missing it..

Juliette Steele, printmaker, painter, and teacher, was born Julia Eleanor Wilm on July 21, 1909, in Union City, New Jersey. She was raised in New Jersey and attended the Dickenson High school in Jersey City. She studied art and fashion design at the Traphagen School of Design in New York during the late 1920s. She married John Dodig and the couple had a son, Gerald, but later divorced. Wilm married Edward Steele in Reno, Nevada in 1939 and the couple moved to San Francisco and by this time Julia changed her first name to Juliette. She enrolled in the San Francisco State College where she earned her Bachelor of Art degree.
In the 1940s Steele produced a series of lithographs depicting San Francisco landmarks and she may have printed with Ray Bertrand although no records have been located to definitely link her with the California WPA Federal Art Project. Also in the 1940s Steele earned her Master of Fine Arts from Stanford University and continued her studies at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco where she studied with Ray Bertrand and Clay Spohn. Steels also studied with Stanley William Hayter during the summer of 1948 and learned the process of intaglio printmaking. The following year Steele taught printmaking at the California School of Fine Arts.
Steele first exhibited with the San Francisco Art Association in 1945 and was represented by her lithograph Fisherman’s Wharf in the Ninth Annual Exhibition of Drawings and Prints. She exhibited in the annual exhibitions through 1948. In 1948, she exhibited two abstract surrealist lithographs Cyclonic Night and Fire Dance. Her first solo exhibition was mounted at the Artists Guild Gallery in San Francisco in 1947 and the following year an exhibition of her prints was featured at the Weyhe Gallery in New York.
She was a member of the San Francisco Art Association, the San Francisco Society of Women Artists, and the Laguna Beach Art Association. She served president of the San Francisco Society of Women Artists in 1949 and 1950.
Steele and her husband were residents of San Rafael, California in the mid 1950s where they operated Steele’s Patio Shop. Juliette Eleanor Wilm Steele died on 4 March 1980 in San Rafael, California.

Free Outdoor Movies for NYC Kids This Summer: Hundreds of Them!
New York City will screen hundreds of FREE outdoor movies this summer, many of them just for kids and families. The popular Movies Under the Stars series, which debuted with screenings in parks and at playgrounds in all five boroughs in 2016, returns—along with many of our favorite annual series.
A few outdoor movie series, such as RiverFlicks for Kids in the West Village, are aimed specifically at children. But even grown-up series, such as those in Bryant Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park, include a few family-friendly screenings. Movies usually begin when evening falls, between 8 and 8:30pm, but plan to arrive early...the well-known series fill up fast, and many parks offer pre-movie entertainment.
Even if your local park is screening a flick you've watched a dozen or so times at home, it's a totally different experience viewing it in the open air alongside several hundred other fans. It's a thrilling, communal event, and a summer rite of passage for New Yorkers of all ages.
When we say we have ALL the movies, we're dead serious. But we've also got a page that's a tiny bit more digestable: 100+ Free Outdoor Family Movies in August. If you'd like to see what's happening day by day in all five boroughs, check it out.
So grab your calendars and start plotting your FREE summer of entertainment now. And be sure to check out the other amazing seasonal activities in our Summer Fun Guide.

Loretta gives new meaning to the phrase “lifelong learner”. The daughter of a West Virginia coal miner, she learned at an early age that she was the key to her own advancement. In fact, her parents gave each child a set of luggage as a graduation present, a gift that functioned as permission to leave their small town and strike out on their own. Loretta took this to heart, joining the Air Force at eighteen and traveling the world. At that time, you weren’t allowed to be pregnant and still serve, so after she married and had her daughter, she retired from active duty and moved with her small family to Anchorage, Alaska.
After a bit, Loretta found herself needing a job. Walking around the town, she found an opening at the Federal Aviation Administration, which resulted in work as an air traffic controller in the days before satellite. To acquire greater understanding in her position and the experience of the pilot, Loretta learned to fly small planes, traveling back and forth from the remote areas that she worked.
Loretta admires the same qualities that she exhibits in the management of Landmark, “What I like about their building is that they change and modify based on what the buyers need.” Loretta subscribes to that way of life, challenging herself to continue to develop. With a solid background in real estate, she uses her experience and ability to get answers to guide buyers through successfully purchasing a Landmark 24 home.
