Measuring 0. 5 by 12. 6 by 8. 80 ins (HWD) and weighing simply 3. 92 lbs, the new Book 9 is slim and lightweight, but it is also very sturdy as well as substantial thanks to a good aluminum chassis and enhanced keyboard, which give a very solid really feel to the highly transportable ultrabook. They have the same smooth curves as the earlier Samsung Ativ Book nine Plus, good results . a slimmer general profile and narrow bezels around the screen. In this way a lighter in weight laptop that packs a bigger fifteen. 6-inch capacitive contact display into a comparable overall size. Which larger display also makes up about the slightly greater list price, that makes the Book nine 2014 Edition $100 more costly than the earlier Book 9 In addition.
Samsung ATIV Book 9 2014 Edition The actual Ativ Book nine 2014 Edition includes a 16GHz Intel Primary i5-4200U processor and 8 GIGABYTES of RAM—the same PROCESSOR as the previous Samsung Ativ Book 9 In addition, but with two times the memory set up, resulting in significantly improved performance. Like within Photoshop CS6, the brand new Book 9 completed in 4 minutes forty-nine seconds, greater than a full moment ahead of the earlier Samsung Book 9 In addition (5: 51). While the increase within memory did eke improved productivity from the same PROCESSOR, it's not sufficient to compete face to face having a faster processor chip. The actual Toshiba Kirabook thirteen i7s Touch, like provides a faster Core-i7 chip, as well as plowed through Photoshop within 4: thirty seven. It also provides significantly better performance within PCMark 8 with two, 344 factors, where the Book 9 scored a nevertheless respectable 913 factors. Nevertheless, the Book 9 is perfect for general customers who demand fast overall performance, as the Kirabook is targeted at creative professionals who require more capacity to prevent becoming bogged down while these people function.
Built with Intel's integrated images solution—Intel HD Images 4400—the Book 9 might not be prepared to take on THREE DIMENSIONAL gaming, however it should meet all your other requirements, from streaming films and rendering webpages to editing pictures and videos. Within 3DMark, the device scored 4, 274 points below CloudGate (the medium configurations test) and 267 factors under FireStrike Severe (the high detail configurations test). Video gaming, as mentioned previously, is mostly unthinkable, since the Book nine 2014 Edition still did not produce playable ratings in any of our own gaming assessments, under any configurations.
The very best aspect of the brand new Book 9, however , is actually its battery-life, lasting 11 hours 26 minutes within our rundown examination. This can be a dramatic enhancement over the previous time (8: 15), as well as leaves all other rivals behind by a comparable margin. This enhancement is largely because of the enhancements made on display quality, making it the trade-off that many will discover advantageous.
While I had been sad to see that this Samsung Ativ Book 9 2014 Edition did not offer the exact same higher-than-HD screen seen within the previous Book nine Plus, it had been among the only discontentment in an otherwise high quality ultraportable. The thin design and sturdy light weight aluminum build is equally as impressive as ever before, and also the larger 15. 6-inch display provides more screen real-estate in roughly exactly the same package, not forgetting the actual all-day battery-life, a proper port choice, and improvements towards the keyboard and high quality. The actual Toshiba Kirabook thirteen i7s Touch is our own Editors' Choice for luxurious ultrabooks, largely because of its own 2, 560-by-1, 440 quality screen and light-weight magnesium building. It takes the very best spot because of its premium functions, but the brand new Samsung Ativ Book 9 2014 Edition is available in as a near second, and it is recommended for everyone who is wants reduced ultrabook, however doesn't see the requirement for a higher-than-HD screen.

Karrie Webb says she feels fresh ahead of another tilt at the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open at Kooyonga starting tomorrow, having taken the best part of four months away from the game.
Five-time champion Webb is experimenting with a new, part-time schedule on the LPGA Tour in 2018 and intends spending blocks of time at home in Queensland, but said it does not necessarily indicate that she is on the verge of retirement.
The 43-year-old said she felt “there’s a little bit left there’’ for her in the professional game, although she has not won a tournament since 2014.
“I don't know if you’ll ever hear me tell you that I’m retired,’’ she told the media today. “I can play golf until I’m 85. I might be invited to make an appearance at a golf tournament. To me, I’m still a professional golfer when I’m going out and making that appearance. I might not be as good a golfer as I was. The US Legends Tour is growing and I’m only a couple of years away from that actually.
Webb cited a figure of 10 tournaments for 2018 as a target, up to and including the Women’s British Open, and intends watching a few North Queensland Cowboys games while she is at home. It is the Steve Stricker method of cherry-picking the bigger tournaments and the events that she likes.
Which of course includes the Australian Open, which she won for the fifth time in 2014 at Victoria. She comes into this week’s tournament with no form to speak of, but she is happy with her practice. It could be a struggle for her as it was at Royal Adelaide last year (she missed the cut), but she would not be alone in finding difficulty.
Kerr won twice last year, including once in her 40s, the first woman to do so since 2011. While it comes across as a young woman’s game, in truth, it is everyone’s game.
Kerr is one of four players in the field ranked in the world’s top 10, and South Korea’s So Yeon Ryu at No. 3 is the highest-ranked. Ryu scaled to No. 1 in the world last year before losing top spot to Lexi Thompson, but she is back on track again now.
Another former world No. 1 Lydia Ko is in the field as well, with a new caddie (Jonny Scott, who has previously caddied for various players including Karrie Webb) and a new coach, Ted Oh. Often criticised for making too many changes, Ko is continuing to seek answers having not won a tournament since 2016.
First tee-off times tomorrow are 7am local time.

The day is waning. Along the horizon, below the slate-grey bank of cloud, the sash of fiery orange glows brighter. The light orb appears, its white-hot heat ebbing into the cool evening, like the tide receding before me.
The sun sinks further, drawing a coral path over the sea, painting the smooth wet sand with blood red tones that fade to a slumbering violet on the shaded ridges.
Reverberations echo within. The warm being is climbing the steps. Round and round. He reaches the lantern room and pauses. I feel him become small for a moment, and listen to the panting breaths. If I concentrate, I am able to breathe with him as the air grows tight and cold and the stone dissipates the day’s accumulated warmth.
The being stretches tall and moves around; touching here, polishing there. Sounds burst from him, like the tweeting of a bird.
Do not awaken the dawn. Not yet. I draw in to myself, and hear a crack from the wooden railing.
The paint is peeling from my body and soon I will be useless, left for the birds to besmirch; the glass at first chipped, then slowly shattered as rocks are endlessly hurled by the sea. I am no lady, more a battered, disease-ridden crone.
I brace myself but he closes the door gently. I will miss the slam that ricochets to the ground and makes me tremble.
The next moment a stunning beam of light hits the waters. This time it’s me splashing a path over the ocean. I am queen when the king of the day sleeps.
Yet no longer; this is my last eventide as the sentinel of the seas.
The sun slips beyond the day, and darkness flows after the path of the beam, only to flee when my light chases back.
I wish for a crashing storm to mark the passing of my significance, a furious tempest; it would be a more fitting rite than the quiescence my eye beholds.
A light fog condenses just before dawn, but the ray cuts through the mist, strong, faithful. The air changes, softens. Birds awaken, and invite Aurora with their songs.
Below, the old wooden door slams shut. A shudder shakes my body; the light wavers a moment, then returns true. The warm being climbs slower today, his steps discrepant. He has lived long, but I, longer.
And now, after a century of exemplary service, my wide beacon will be extinguished, like a candle in a puff of wind.
Black greys into a muffling mist. He flicks the switch.
The world lives on, yet I am neither alive nor dead. I am nothing. Without a purpose. Invisible.
The being steps out and leans on the railing. Warmth curls around the wood. A finger of smoke lifts and snaps the freshness of the air.
The sun lifts further. For a moment, the drops of moisture sparkle; iridescent rainbow shimmers that hover in the air until they burst, their colours coalescing into a brilliant white.
My stone warms and expands; settles.
So this is who I have become.
Still sentinel of the seas.

Defence Secretary Philip Hammond MP today announced that the core committed defence equipment programme amounts to just under �152bn over ten years, against a totalled planned spend of almost �160bn. That �152bn includes, for the first time, a centrally held contingency of over �4bn.
The programme also includes an additional �8bn of funding over the next ten years which is unallocated. This means that the budget will have guaranteed headroom to respond to emerging equipment requirements. For analysis and outline of some of the major programmes going forward, and reaction from Parliament,�see below.
Today's announcement by Phillip Hammond that MoD has balanced its budget is not the end of the road in the department's reform process, but it is perhaps the end of the beginning. The MoD faces challenges by virtue of the nature of its business. The more so as it is currently engaged in what the language of SDSR would refer to as a medium scale enduring operation. Credit is due to "Forensic Phil" who approached the travails of the MoD in a dispassionate manner. His attitude to the department became apparent when he was questioned at his first outing at a RUSI presentation. When questioned how he would continue to deliver defence capability in an era of austerity, he replied that the MoD would simply have to learn to act like any other department, and be more efficient.
The "Black Hole" arose because under the previous government the MoD's wish list was allowed to grow without being checked. The Equipment Plan seemed to take on a life of its own. At the same time the department's budget remained static and the perceived gap in funding grew � at least on paper. Hammond's announcement will not reverse the previously announced cuts � but should stop any further cuts being necessary. All of this is premised on no further deterioration in the nation's finances arising from a crisis in the Euro zone.
Both the services and industry will now be able to work on how to equip the UK with the equipment envisioned in the Force 2020 plan. More importantly Hammond announced that there should be some spare resources available within the MoD's budget, which the department will need to protect against the depredations of HM Treasury. On the bigger political picture Hammond has brought the MoD back under control. There is still work to be done on the management of the MoD, as envisaged by the Levene review. Bernard Gray still has to get a new operating structure in place at DE&S. Both of these projects will need to be managed while manpower is being cut. Hammond's work is not yet done, but he has shown that at least he has got a handle on how the MoD works, and there are not many who can say that.
The Service Chiefs have confirmed that this fully committed core equipment programme and the extra headroom will enable the MoD to deliver the capabilities required for Future Force 2020, as set out in the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) of 2010.
The MoD will continue to invest �1 billion a year on facilities at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE).
The AWE is central to the development and maintenance of the UK's nuclear capability, Trident. Scientists at the Berkshire site are involved from the initial concept and design of the warheads, through manufacture and support to their decommissioning and disposal.
The MoD has now reached an agreement with AWE Management Limited (AWEML) - the joint venture contracted to manage and operate the site in 2000 - for a further priced period of work under its existing 25-year contract.
This agreement, which will see the MoD invest �1 billion a year over the next five years, provides important further investment in skills and facilities at the company's site in Aldermaston and Burghfield, Berkshire, where more than 4,500 staff are based.
Formed in 1998, AWEML is a joint venture between Jacobs Engineering Group, Lockheed Martin and Serco to manage AWE plc on behalf of the MOD. The current agreement came into effect in 2000.

When Steelcase developed the Leap® Chair it decided it didn't want to just bring out another ergonomic office office seating product.
Instead Steelcase decided it needed to produce something unique which truly was user friendly and at the same time enhanced user comfort and productivity.
As a result, over 4 years were spent developing the Leap Chair, involving some 11 studies, with over 700 testers as well as key input from 4 universities and 27 scientists.
The product carries some 23 patents which is a testament to the amount of research and innovation that has gone into the creation and design and ergonomics of the Leap Chair.
Not only that, Steelcase followed this up with a year long study involving 200 participants to prove how good it really was.
Independent testers concluded that the group that used a Leap® Chair and received ergonomic training on how to it correctly, showed an overall productivity increase of 17.8%.
As the tests were carried out in a state tax collection agency they were able to measure productivity improvements precisely by the increased revenues the testers generated.
They calculate that based on the improved work rate produced by the trained Leap users purchase cost recovery can be achieved in just 10 working days. Even allowing for a degree of optimism here, these are clearly highly impressive results.
Steelcase continues to develop its Leap® range. It recently added the Leap® Plus specifically intended for users weighing up to 500lbs. The standard range is rated up to 300lbs which whilst generous excluded some more heavy built people.
So, let's take a look at the Leap® to see just what makes it such an effective ergonomic seating solution.
The chair's Live Back is a clever mechanism that allows you to adjust the upper and lower backrest function separately. Research shows that when you recline, your upper and lower back want to move in opposite directions and with differing amounts of pressure.
Live Back allows for this and ensures that your back remains fully supported as you change position. It is designed to be used by practically any size of person and can be adjusted to your exact individual needs.
The Natural Seat Glide is a very clever function that enables you to vary your seating position and recline in your chair without moving away from your desk top or losing your visual contact with what you are working on.
Put simply, the seat slides as you recline and moves without it raising, so no added pressure is felt on the backs of your legs. The main benefit is that the user feels inclined to move more which is beneficial for your body and posture.
Adjustable arms are able to be movable in 4 directions - height, width, pivot and depth which means that you can set the arm adjustments to exactly where you need them to properly support your arms and align your neck and shoulders correctly.
Thermal comfort is built in to the back and seat shells which both incorporate slats, that combined with the use of special foam padding allow good breathability.
Turning to the seat pad, it includes a sliding seat mechanism to allow the user to set up the correct depth for their leg and torso length.
Additionally, it has a flexible seat edge which compensates for your movements by releasing pressure on the backs of your legs, but not like a forward tilt feature that often has you sliding out of your seat.
Moving on from the actual design features let's look at the technical details.
The seat height can be adjusted between 15 - 20 inches, which is an excellent range of adjustment especially for those users under 5 foot 3 inches.
Seat depth adjustment is a generous 15.5 - 18.5 inches which will cater for both short and long-legged users.
The seat itself is 19.5 inches by 19 inches offering a good sized pad.
Arms adjust between 7 - 11 inches in height, 13 - 19 inches in width and 30º pivot angle.
There is no doubt that the range of adjustments on the Leap® Chair is very wide and should cater for virtually any user both large and small and this is the reason why the chair only comes in one size, simplifying multiple purchases.
The chairs are offered in a wide range of fabrics, leather and vinyl upholstery which are covered by 5 years warranty.
The frame and structural components carry a lifetime warranty (for the original purchaser) and 10 years on mechanisms and gas lifts.
Components come finished in Black, Midnight (dark gray), Platinum (light gray) or polished aluminium.
All in all, the Leap® Chair is a top quality product, carefully designed and will give many years of comfortable service.
You can buy the Leap® Chair from this online specialist store with a low price guarantee as well as free shipping and a 30 day return policy too.

Today (24 July), the Security Council is expected to adopt a presidential statement on the Liberia peacebuilding plan and the preparation for the 2017 presidential and legislative elections. The statement is the result of a joint initiative of the US, the penholder on Liberia, and Sweden, which chairs the Liberia country configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC). The draft was circulated to the wider Council membership last week. After one round of negotiations, and one broken silence period yesterday morning, it passed through silence on Thursday (20 July), paving the way for the adoption on Monday.
Overall it seems that negotiations on the draft were not difficult and that there was wide support in the Council for the statement. The statement is based mostly on agreed language from previous outcomes on Liberia, which may have facilitated the negotiations.
However, there were some differences of view over how to address the issue of sexual and gender-based violence. Russia broke silence yesterday due to concerns about language on this issue. It seems that Russia objected to a phrase calling on Liberia’s legislature to enact a domestic violence bill and enforce all laws to combat impunity. Over the past several years, both China and Russia have often resisted what they interpret as an expansion of the women, peace and security agenda, or perceive as an infringement on state sovereignty or the competencies of other parts of the UN system. As a compromise, while the language Russia objected to on potential legislation was removed from the final draft, references to sexual and gender-based violence were retained, along with language calling on the government of Liberia to combat impunity for those crimes. Similar language was included in the last resolution that extended the mandate of UNMIL in December 2016.
Following the closure of the UN Mission in Côte d’Ivoire in June, the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) is expected to be the next UN peacekeeping operation in West Africa to cease its activities. In December 2016, the Council adopted resolution 2333 which extended the mandate of UNMIL for a final period until 30 March 2018. The resolution included a novel aspect by requesting the Secretary-General to provide a peacebuilding plan for Liberia within three months. This was the first time that the Council had requested such a plan ahead of a mission’s departure and its transition to a post-UN peacekeeping environment.
The plan (S/2017/282), called “Sustaining Peace and Security Development,” was developed under the guidance of UNMIL and in close cooperation with the government of Liberia, international partners, civil society and political parties. It is divided into two phases. The first phase covers the period leading to the closure of UNMIL and the second one focuses on long-term peacebuilding activities lasting until 2020. In general, the plan’s purpose is to address remaining structural fragilities and economic development needs of Liberia; it envisions improved coherence and integration among UN agencies, funds and programmes, and the good offices capacities of the UN country team.
It appears that the draft presidential statement is intended to represent a sign of continued Council support for Liberia in its peacebuilding efforts. It commends the progress that had been made in restoring peace, security and stability in the country and the commitment of the people and government of Liberia in developing democracy. It expresses support for the peacebuilding plan and encourages all stakeholders to fulfill their commitments and provide support for the implementation of the first phase of the plan. It further stresses the need for the government of Liberia to address the root causes of conflict, as well as other underlying issues that could pose a risk to stability.
The draft statement emphasises the importance of holding credible presidential and legislative elections in October. The presidential elections will be a critical test for Liberian democracy, given that this will mark the first democratic transfer of power in the country. In the statement, the Council will welcome the signing of the 4 June Farmington River Declaration by the overwhelming majority of the political parties (20 out of 22) committing to the peaceful transition of power and violence-free elections.
Another issue raised in the statement is the need for continued international involvement and attention to Liberia, especially during the process of transferring responsibilities to the UN country team. In his latest report (S/2017/510) to the Council, the Secretary-General noted that a mapping exercise conducted by the UN country team found significant gaps in financial, material, and logistical capacities which the country team will face following UNMIL’s departure. Several members of the Council have voiced their concerns regarding the financial shortfall that will affect peacebuilding efforts after UNMIL’s closure. In that regard, the statement encourages the engagement of donors and the international community more broadly to address the capacity gaps that were identified by the UN country team’s mapping exercise.

When looking at a finished stone staircase or fireplace, it is easy to be awestruck and forget that before all of the hard work and craftsmanship, these were once huge, or not so huge, slabs of stone below the earth.
Like many of the stones that we work with, Moleanos is named for the area in which it is quarried. On the western coast of central Portugal is the province of Alcobaça; at the foots steps of the Serra D´Aires e Candeeiros Natural Park you will find the village of Moleanos, from which this stone takes its name.
Moleanos stone is a popular choice for staircases and flooring and is used in many of our projects. It’s a fairly consistent off-white stone that is readily available in the large, thick slabs we need for staircase treads.
This floating staircase is a good example, with the stone being seen from all angles.
There are many places where Black Granite can be found, with each location offering different qualities. Despite being so far apart, you can find Black Granite in locations like China, Egypt, Finland, India, Africa and the United States.
We generally use Black Granite as a detailing stone to accentuate and enhance the look and feel of another stone.
An example is this Ancaster Weatherbed fireplace, where we contrasted the Ancaster stone with granite detail. The lining to the fire chamber softens the outline of the fire basket.
Ancaster Hard White – A consistent creamy colour and texture.
Ancaster Weatherbed – Contains many shells and fossils, sometimes contains blue seams.
Ancaster Freebed – A fine-grained cream colour.
The best example of our use of Ancaster stone is our work for the renovation of the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa. The grand staircase was carved from Weatherbed, with matching floor tiles, while the fireplace was made with Ancaster Hard White. Coming from the same quarry, the two stones complement each other perfectly.
Unlike many of the European stones we use, Ancaster comes out of the ground looking more ‘rock-like’. The often means that we have to spend a lot of time selecting the material, to ensure we have consistency. To create the staircase at The Grosvenor Pulford we went through more than 60 tonnes of stone.
Basebed – the oldest and bottom-most layer with the most pure, consistent colour and grain.
Whitbed – the middle layer of Portland stone with slightly more texture and colour variation.
Roach –the youngest and top-most layer of stone with the most variation in colour and texture, as well often including impressions of shells and marine life.
Basebed is sometimes referred to as the ‘London’ stone due to its extensive use throughout the capital city.
This property had a traditional cantilever staircase in the existing part of the building and a chunky modern stair down into the basement. The use of Portland Basebed on both flights and the flooring ties the whole scheme together seamlessly.
Lastly is Bath stone, quarried near the city of Bath in Somerset. It’s hard to go anywhere in Bath without seeing a building that is made of this warm honey coloured limestone, particularly famous is The Royal Crescent. The amount of buildings made from Bath stone is a testament to its strength for use outdoors, but it is just as usable for indoor applications.
We love this fireplace, which combines Bath stone with Ancaster Weatherbed.
There are many ways that we can use different types of stone, whether as a solid stone staircase, carved fireplace or bespoke flooring. Talk to us about your project and we will work with you to select the perfect material.

[Voices of ASMR] Can ASMR be triggered on command or spontaneously?
Can you stimulate ASMR on command? If so, how do you trigger it?
Does it ever happen spontaneously/randomly?
Do you consider this meditation or something else?
How is the sensation similar or different from ASMR triggered by a video or by a real world stimulus?
I can’t do it, no.
When it happens spontaneously I feel guilt because I’m zoned out when I should be paying attention. When it happens in a work setting I feel vulnerable and uncomfortable.
For me, it cannot happen on command. I can try to get it to happen by watching ASMR videos, and usually it will work but sometimes it won’t. It can also happen spontaneously in life.
It happens to me spontaneously all the time. When I slowly scratch my head or kind of play with my hair I can trigger it.

London:Wayne Rooney has agreed a “deal in principle” to join Major League Soccer side DC United from Premier League club Everton, reports said .
It has been suggested a £12.5 million ($17 million) deal has been agreed that could see the 32-year-old leave his boyhood club just 12 months after rejoining them from Manchester United.
Earlier this week, Everton manager Sam Allardyce said he wanted England’s and Manchester United’s record goal scorer to see out the final year of his contract next season.
“There have been rumours about Wayne going abroad, China or America. It would have to be massive for him to want leave Everton,” the Toffees boss told talkSPORT.
The former England captain left United last year on a free transfer following 13 trophy-laden years after becoming a peripheral figure under Jose Mourinho.
He talked about how he wanted to play a part in Everton winning silverware after a long trophy drought, dating back to their 1995 FA Cup win.

May there be peace on earth, in the waters, in the fires, and in the wind…May there be peace everywhere and in everyone.
There are so many delicious playlists for journeys. Far fewer, but just as important are the ones made for the morning after. For Psychedelic Restoration. It’s a crucial time. A time when we might feel depleted or fragile. A time when we might need reassurance and love. We need a playlist that is going to restore us. What would the playlist equivalent of 5-htp and fresh juice sound like?
For me, it sounds like the most gentle, heart centered kirtan that has ever been chanted. Recently, I had a rough morning. The night had been long and full of terrors, as they say in Westeros. And there wasn’t much sleep. I felt bad. But I still had errands to run. I put on some music and instantly felt refreshed. The music washed over me like a soothing balm, and all of a sudden there was joy and love again. I glided through the aisles and the San Francisco streets, heart open, content.
I’m really impressionable. I need to keep filling my mind with sacred chanting and books on buddhism and all those sorts of things because I live in a world that is constantly bombarding me with cultural artifacts that are not my friend. I’ve got to choose carefully, or I’m a goner. I need to be relentless about the amount of love I pound into my sense organs. And this morning was no different.
I turned the music up louder, and let the vibrations hammer my nervous system with sweetness. Not only was there a restorative aspect to it, but it was purifying as well. The shadowy garbage that had been so clearly revealed the night before needed to be shed. Up and out!
Here is a playlist of some of the songs I listened to that day. I kept the best ones. I added some others later, and I switched up the order a bit. I’ve got a long history of listening to kirtan. You might not even know what it is (Hindu devotional music). It deserves a much longer description, but basically kirtan is chanting the names of the Gods and the Goddesses. It’s an act of devotion and an invocation. We want the presence of the divine to be with us. Again, super simplified. But consider this idea of divine presence as a palpable vibratory quality. That by chanting, and being in a space where chanting is happening, you’re in a rarefied atmosphere. It’s pure and kind and compassionate and sweet. It’s 5-htp and fresh juice, and probably some flowers too.
So give it a listen and see if you can dig it. I’m even going to create a loose glossary, in case you want to know what something means. It’s more of a personal interpretation than a scholarly translation. The meaning is going to be deeper than anything I can write out, than anyone can write out. And simpler, too. ‘Vibration of Love’. There you go. It’s not for comprehension, it’s for basking in.
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya – All the qualities of divinity exist within me.
All Good (Bhumi Mangalam) – May there be peace on earth, etc.
Shri Krishna – Everything is sweet with the lord of sweetness.
Tam Integration is a labor of love, your donations help alot.

The past few years have proven that — every once in a while — a fashion label can make a successful, mostly non-embarrassing crossover into furniture and housewares. Margiela, Hermès, and Rick Owens all come to mind, but who better than a textile designer to make the leap? At last week’s Capsule show, Ellen Van Dusen of the Brooklyn-based clothing brand Dusen Dusen launched a brand new line of soft goods for the home that feature her signature geometric patterns — sheets, blankets, rugs, towels, pillows, and a pouf — and the extension feels totally natural, like it was meant to be. Today she’s giving Sight Unseen a first peek at the line’s lookbook photos, which were shot by SU contributor Brian Ferry and feature cameos by both SNL comedian Aidy Bryant and Van Dusen’s official canine mascot, Snips.
Van Dusen says that for the most part, creating the collection felt pretty similar to designing clothing, but with a few key differences: “I like the scale of these kinds of items, their longevity in a home, and the idea of creating a space full of color and pattern,” she says. “In this first collection I brought back some of my favorite prints from past seasons — like Objects from spring ’14, Rake from fall ’11, and Ladder from spring ’15 — which was really nice because I was able to extend their lifespan, which is usually dictated by the (short!) fashion schedule.” The pieces won’t be available for purchase until August; sign up for Van Dusen’s mailing list to be first in line.
There's a certain taboo attached to pop stars who attempt to forge acting careers, and vice versa. Painters aren't normally supposed to take up fashion design, and just because you're a great photographer doesn't mean you'll make a great chef. But here at Sight Unseen, where we attempt to travel to the very heart of creativity, we delight in any and all cross-disciplinary meanderings, which is why our ears perked up when we heard about American Fashion Designers at Home, by Rima Suqi. Even if some of the more than 100 CFDA members featured in the book hired professionals to craft their spaces, the translation of their aesthetics from one genre to the other is an endless source of curiosity.

Every once in a while, a product is recalled for health reasons. This happened just recently with children’s ibuprofen. The ingredients in many packages of the product sold at national retailers were found to be inaccurate and posed a danger to infants. This also happened last week when listeria was discovered in a sample of peaches, nectarines, and plums sold at Walmart and other major grocery chains.
Now another recall is sweeping the nation, and this one has parents even more worried than they were before. Chicken nuggets are a simple and quick meal that parents often give to their children. They can simply take the bag out of the freezer and pop a half dozen or so per child into the microwave or the oven and serve with a dipping sauce and a side of vegetables. But now certain brands of chicken nuggets have been shown to be potentially dangerous to your health and are being recalled en mass.
Tyson Foods Inc, one of the largest manufacturers of chicken nuggets, has issued a recall on their frozen chicken nuggets. Although the company was able to get the nuggets through their doors and into the stores to sell to customers, a post-shipment inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) discovered them to be potentially contaminated.
While it is not uncommon for Tyson nuggets to taste like rubber, the FSIS found that about 36,420 pounds of Tyson’s “White Meat Panko” chicken will be recalled because they are possibly contaminated with rubber.
Consumers were the first ones to notice the hazard. After feeding Tyson’s product to their children, consumers complained to the FSIS that Tyson had extraneous material in their nuggets, the type of which is utterly inedible and potentially poisonous.
Fortunately, Tyson’s nuggets have yet to cause any serious health problems among the children and adults who enjoy them. However, Tyson is recalling their rubber-infused chicken products before any more harm is caused.
This recall is just the latest in a long line of recalls Tyson had issued in recent years. Just seven months ago in June 2018, Tyson recalled thousands of pounds of their breaded chicken tenderloins because suppliers told Tyson and the Federal Government that the chicken was likely mixed with pieces of blue and clear plastic. Obviously, quality control is not a priority for the Tyson brand of chicken if so many “extraneous materials” are getting stuffed into the products before they’re shipping to retails like Walmart and sold to everyday Americans.
Perdue Foods also issued a recall on Tuesday when they wrongfully branded chicken products and failed to declare an allergen.
Because Tyson has had two major recalls within a year, consumers are growing weary of the chicken brand. Many people are concerned that they’ll accidentally consume rubber or plastic while eating Tyson products – and if the recent recalls have anything to say about it, they very likely might be doing just that.
If you have purchased any Tyson chicken nuggets, contact your grocery store for a refund.
What do you think about Tyson’s chicken nugget recall?

"The student and I reviewed arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. We practiced finding the rule of sequence for a sequence given one of the terms and the difference or ratio as well as when we are given two terms. We also reviewed the formulas to calculate the partial sum of the first n terms for both arithmetic and geometric series and also how to find the value of the infinite sum of a geometric series with a ratio between -1 and 1. We talked about what a recursive formula for a sequence is and writing a rule of sequence for sequences that are neither arithmetic nor geometric. We went through using the sigma notation for a series and how to use the formulas for the partial sums to calculate a sum starting with a different term than the first term. She is doing better finding the rule of sequence for arithmetic and geometric sequences and she is doing better finding the partial sums for both types of series. "
"Today we covered the unit circle, graphing sine and cosine, the reciprocal identity, and converting between radians and degrees. The student understood most of the topics, but he had a small amount of struggle with conversions. I showed him how to label the unit circle in radians without having to memorize everything. I am going to find him extra practice problems to do over the weekend."
"We covered a review of algebra topics, including ranges, domains, graphs, max and mins of parabolas, forms for the various parabolic equations, etc. In addition, we have started a discussion on trigonometry. This includes defining the trig functions and going over radian measure and their properties."
"We covered chi-squared distribution tests for independence and frequency. The student was inquisitive and eager to fix mistakes. I suggested organizing information into tables manually to keep things organized and to make using the calculator a simpler task."
"We went over regressions, and how to find the best fit line. By the end of the lesson, the student understood how to find the formulas easily. In addition, we briefly covered the distance formula and how to find a formula for a circle in a graph."

I also tried out some of their linen shirts and skirts for some cool outfit shots. Overall, I had a lot of fun doing the interview, and I hope you enjoy reading all about me!

"Perfect." Just don't use it in any campaign with body-image elements.
Customers are used to brands showing off skinny models to sell a product. But Victoria’s Secret sparked a public furor last month when it advertised its Body lingerie line by emblazoning its familiar brand image of thin underwear models with the text, "The Perfect 'Body.’"
The ad was widely slammed as offensive and damaging to women. More than 26,000 people signed a petition calling on the retailer to apologize and axe the campaign.
"It is one thing to show women and imply something, but it is quite another thing to say it outright," says Julie Sygiel, founder and CEO of underwear retailer Dear Kate. "Victoria’s Secret took it too far with this campaign."
It’s important to note that in this case the issue does not lie with the size of the women featured in the ad, because brands such as Victoria’s Secret tend to not carry plus sizes, says Tracy Anderson, VP and account director at Burrell Communications.
The problem, she explains, is a word such as "perfect" should never be used when communicating about body image.
"It is dangerous to refer to anything or anyone as ‘perfect,’ and by taking that approach you are going in at a deficit and you could potentially give someone a complex," contends Anderson. "‘Perfect’ and the idea of ‘perfection’ is slightly outdated at this point, because everyone is running with the whole ‘perfectly imperfect’ thing."
On the other hand, if a brand trades its lean models for heavier ones and claims they are "real women" in a campaign, that can imply skinny women are less "real," Sygiel explains.
"Thinking carefully about the message you are sending is important, because every woman’s body is valid," she says. "You don’t have to put down certain body shapes in order to uplift other body shapes."
Women, of course, come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, so brands need to ensure they are formulating their messaging accordingly. The happy medium is simply being inclusive when discussing body image, according to Anderson.
"Multicultural consumers and women of color, for instance, may have different definitions of ‘perfection,’" she adds.
A number of brands highlighted their own inclusivity on body image in response to Victoria’s Secret’s faux pas.
One was smaller rival Dear Kate, which published a blog post on its corporate website about Victoria’s Secret’s "irresponsible marketing," and recreated the infamous ad to show women from a range of different ethnicities and body shapes wearing its underwear. The post has since gone viral, receiving more than 1 million views, according to Sygiel.
Its reimagining of the campaign on Facebook received more than 4,000 likes and was shared about 9,500 times.
"We choose models who we admire because of who they are and what they do, not only how they look," says Sygiel. "That has resonated with our customers and goes along with the fact that our product is functional and recognizes there is so much more to women than superficialities."
UK-based plus-size fashion retailer JD Williams also responded to the ad with its own Perfectly Imperfect campaign, encouraging users to share their favorite aspects of themselves with the #FavouriteFlaw hashtag on Twitter.
Dove got involved, too, releasing an image of curvier women in their underwear with the slogan "The Perfect Real Body," in reference to its own long-running Real Beauty campaign.
Although PR pros agree that brands should be as inclusive as possible, the identity of their target consumer and human insights should be part of the process. But most importantly, a brand needs to know its purpose going into a body-image campaign, says Tonia Elrod, associate director of communications at Procter & Gamble.
For example, P&G’s feminine products brand Always tries to champion the confidence of young women, explains Elrod, who was one of the people behind the brand’s campaign to turn the negative connotation of the expression "like a girl" into a positive one.
The effort, which launched in July, included a video that garnered more than 75 million views in more than 150 countries on YouTube.
"Being authentic to our brand and purpose, as well as being authentic with consumers, led to our success with the campaign," Elrod says.
Women today are more discerning about the messages brands relay, according to Dear Kate’s Sygiel, who says companies should communicate about body image as if consumers are their friends.
"If you’re someone’s friend, you are going to be on their side and be supportive of them and want what is best for them," she adds. "A friend isn’t going to tell you how you should look or act."
To make sure Dear Kate avoids this, Sygiel says her staffers think twice about what they post on the brand’s social media pages. Specifically, she asks them to consider whether or not what they post is something they would be comfortable saying on their personal accounts.
"When you think about communications in terms of something your friends are going to see, it helps you to come more from a place of support and authenticity," Sygiel explains.
She adds that Millennials don’t make purchasing decisions in the same way previous generations do.
"The Millennial generation looks for brands that reflect their values," Sygiel says. "Some brands are adopting quickly to that and some not so much."
A brand’s body-image campaign might not always resonate with everyone, whether it strives for exclusivity or not. In the end, every brand has the right to communicate what it wants about itself and its idealized customer in whatever way they are comfortable with, even if it offends some people, according to Kwittken chief creative officer Jason Schlossberg.
Victoria’s Secret replaced its controversial slogan on Thursday with the tagline, "A Body for Every Body," but the retailer has not formally apologized. Schlossberg argues that an apology isn’t warranted if the intent of Victoria’s Secret’s campaign was to be provocative.
"If it ultimately made the decision that this is how it wants to communicate its brand, Victoria’s Secret is entitled to do that and whether or not individuals like that or respond positively or negatively doesn’t matter," he says. "Victoria’s Secret’s job is not to become perfectly acceptable to everyone, but just to the audience it wants to reach. We are assuming every brand has to communicate in a way that is appealing to absolutely everybody, and I am not sure that is in fact the case."
But if Victoria’s Secret did not anticipate the backlash it provoked and it unintentionally alienated certain consumers, Schlossberg says the company should indeed apologize.
Victoria’s Secret did not return PRWeek’s calls or emails seeking comment.

How often have you need to market an all new product or service and been worried about the impact on your marketing budget.
Nowadays, the price of marketing materials is far from dropping and people wonder if it’s worth it – to invest in marketing materials such as flyers.
Well, they most certainly are – but they don’t have to break your marketing budget anymore.
Flyers reach your audience in a variety of ways. For example, flyers can be used in door-to-door mail drop, newspaper inserts or instore distributions.
Flyers function as something tangible for your business to use to connect with its clients. This makes flyers uniquely different to digital marketing and well worth doing – especially when combined with the incentive of a discount or coupon.
Today, we’re going to share with you why Tweak Cloud can help you to save money on creating flyers – with minimal hassle.
Brochures are among the most versatile of all marketing materials, because of the information they contain. Brochures cut to the chase – you get the core of a business’s marketing messages and exactly what they do, without needing to search for it.
Supermarkets are no exception to this. With brochures you can display clearly certain products you have on offer, or a new discount you’ll be running for a month. By having brochures ready to grab from the second someone enters your store, your information is easily digestible.
Brochures are without a doubt cheaper than some other forms of advertising such as TV or radio adverts or taking out an ad in the newspaper. When you mass produce brochures, the cost of your printing reduces by a lot.
With brochures, you’re also pretty likely to reach your target audience because of the high volume of brochures that you will hand out or people can take from a stand, perhaps with a sample of your food available.
Tweak Cloud is here to revolutionize design of marketing materials across different platforms. Tweak Cloud will save you money on your business flyers by allowing you to design and edit from your web browser, with 24/7 access.
Users don’t need expensive Adobe licenses to access over a million professionally crafted templates – including thousands of flyer templates that are specific to 350 different business types.
Set editing, sharing and approval settings so that nothing is changed by a team member that the team leader does not strictly approve. This ensures a maintenance of brand integrity and uniformity across all of your businesses.
With one click printing and live reporting on production progress, you will never lose track of your flyer production.
Overall, Tweak Cloud aims to save you money by tying in every aspect of design into one secure platform – design and printing, entirely optimized.

Last time I talked about some of the things you want to look for when you’re shopping for a used car. There’s a lot more I have to share about this adventure that might help you the next time you’re buying a car, and I’ll get to that next time.
I’ve always loved driving, and in the early years I always had a car that was fun to drive. I loved my POS VW Bug, which I picked up for $100 on a mechanic’s repo and half-rebuilt by hand. I loved the ’87 Firebird which I drove up and down the California coast and central valley more times than I can count.
But ten years ago, when I was sinking every spare penny I had into a movie, I had to buy a car, and I needed a car that would give me no trouble for years. I wound up with a perfectly reliable, perfectly decent brand new Saturn SL1, which treated me great for ten years.
But another driver pushed the car under the rear end of a pickup truck, and it was probably a good thing. By the time the insurance check came through, my memories of really driving were just that–memories.
It was time for a fun car. A proper sports car.
For a long time I lingered on the BMW Z3 and Z4–test driving them became such a pleasure, I almost didn’t want the search to end. The Z3 was more budget friendly, so my focus narrowed, and I came within a couple inches of buying one. But before I put a firm offer, I popped down to a collision shop to have a talk with the tuning specialist.
Thing is, they stopped making the Z3 in 2002, so everything I was looking at was getting kind of long in the tooth, and I knew already that it was the kind of car I’d want to hang on to, and rebuild, and keep for a couple decades. So I needed to know what I was in for.
Right there, the BMW dream died. Turns out they didn’t use a standard drive train in the Z3. All the parts were custom to that car. And there weren’t enough for any third-parties to manufacture them. The Z3 is a classic now, every bit as much as a Lotus Elan or a 1960s Ferrari. To my way of thinking, then, it’s not a car you can drive–it’s the kind of car you put in a garage for 50 weeks a year, and only take out for the summer vacation.
I was really bummed. Not quite crushed, but close. On the way home I stopped by a lot where I saw the other car I really wanted–a 2002 Trans Am (which they also don’t make anymore, but the parts are all still used on other cars, so it’s not yet a museum piece). I’d avoided this car, because I wanted it more than was good for me–it’s hard to be objective when you’re driving something rare and deeply coveted. But I said “to hell with it,” and took it for a spin. At 90mph on the freeway in the bottom of sixth, under 2,000 RPMs, it felt just like I remembered my old Firebird, but better. Glorious and nostalgic, all at once. And painful, like having coffee with an old girlfriend who you’re still fond of. Sure, I could afford it, but not responsibly. And, frankly, after all the Japanese and European cars I’d driven, the GM build quality was a let-down. Inside it looked like an old VW–even in good condition, the seams showed. BMWs and Mazdas are very well put together–GM cars never have been, preferring to make up for in power and grunt what they lack in finesse. I didn’t used to care–turns out now I do. An American muscle car, no matter how fun, just wasn’t going to cut it.
In the six weeks I was looking, I’d done them all–the Mini (lovely, but SO pricey), the Golf GTI (like a mouse on steroids–fun, but not a car I could own), the Z4 (nirvanna, but too popular to find a good deal), the Z3 (a proper roadster), the Toyota MR2 Spyder (like the Z3, a beautiful discontinued near-classic), the Civic SI and CRZs (overpowered shoe boxes with bad gear ratios. They’re really trying hard to be proper cars, but don’t quite make it), and the Gen 1 Mazda Miata (not enough elbow room, and all of them had too high mileage, but still a great car), and the Z28/Tras Am line (vaguely, but painfully, disappointing). Seemed like every car on my list, for one reason or another, just wasn’t a smart buy. I wondered if I should hold on to the crumpled (but drivable) Saturn for another six months and save some more cash for something new.
But then, I realized that there was one car I hadn’t tried. One car that fit the spec sheet. One more car I needed to give a good solid chance: the Gen 2 Miata MX-5. According to Edmunds, the 1999 redesign had added more elbow room, a touch more power, and better fuel economy. By this time, I’d read enough on them to know exactly what I’d want if I got one–and if the newer cockpit worked as advertised.
I took another week, and test drove the hell out of the line. It was as advertised–it fit like a glove. It drove like an MG or a Lotus in top condition, but it didn’t rattle. It would work–I just needed to find one that had the right mileage, in the right condition, for the right price.
A few days later, a new listing popped up on Craigslist for a 2001 MX-5 way the hell out in Roseville. The seller had a kid on the way, and needed to buy something with a back seat–he was also moving to Virginia, and didn’t want to drive a car across country that he’d have to sell in six months anyway. It had the aftermarket mods I’d want to put on a Miata already installed, and it didn’t even have 90k miles on it yet. I took she-who-must-not-be-named out to Roseville to take a gander.
That changed when we got to Roseville. The car was in exceptionally good condition, and it had some aftermarket mods (like the larger, vented discs) that hadn’t been listed in the ad. And then, we took it on the road.
In the car-shopping odyssey, I’d had a lot of great test drives, plenty of reasons to smile, plenty of reasons to cheer, and plenty of reasons to feel optimistic. But getting this car out on the road, pushing it hard, unwinding it all the way, I found myself laughing out loud. It hit the sweet spot–the right interior room, the right handling, the right power-to-weight ratio, a gorgeous rear limited-slip diff, excellent road-feel, perfect balance, and at exactly the price I would have offered. And in the passenger seat, my partner in crime was laughing right along with me.
And when we switched places, and she drove, it got better. This is a car that plugs you into the road, and she–who is very hard to please–was blown away.
The car checked out mechanically, and a few hours later we wound up driving it home. I’ve been driving it for a couple months now, and I expected it to get…well, ordinary. When you buy something new, and you get used to it, it becomes a normal part of life. This car, though, isn’t like that.
This car gets better every time I take it on the road. I drive with the top down, all the time, unless it’s raining–and when it starts raining on the drive, I can pull the top up in about two seconds on the go. The aftermarket cold air intake roars like a pissed-off cheetah when I bury my foot. The interior ergonomics are wonderful, and except when I’m pushing it up a mountain, I get a solid 30mpg out of the thing. But even that doesn’t really explain it.
You see, every time I go out to run to the store, or to drive to an appointment, or any of the hundreds of mundane things you do every day in a car, it brightens my day. For the last decade my Saturn was a solid little sedan, but I avoided driving as much as possible, because it was a bother. Now, I’m looking for excuses to hit the road.
When I was eight years old, the most fun I ever had were the summer days when my Dad brought his MG roadster out of the garage and said to me “Let’s go driving.” He would toss the thing around corners, play with what felt like the edge of death, and we’d spend long days or evenings talking about driving techniques, or the latest cool scifi movie, or the new books I was writing, or the latest author he discovered. At the time, I thought I’d never be able to own a car that cool.
Now I do. And every time I go out for a drive, I’m eight years old again, with a smile on my face and the world open in front of me. And if the road throws a few curves in my way, well that’s just fine–I can gear down, open up, and push the laws of physics to one side, and drive.
This little car has me over the moon–and I’m in love with driving all over again. I hear tell there are over a million miles of road just in the United States. If I take time to eat and sleep once in a while, that’s enough road to keep me busy for another twenty years.
Next time, I’ll talk about the financial stuff you need to know to get the car you want from a dealership, without getting screwed. Right now, though, I think I’ll go stargazing the Pacific Coast Highway.

My misery quickly compounded when I realized, only after receiving the keys to my new digs, that every elevator ride and doorway entry was dependent on an activated and encrypted HID brand “key fobb”. The rental administrators, cheerful and accomodating birds of a feather, expressed enthusiasm over the RFID tote as a posh security amenity. In the days to follow, I became relentlessly irritable, crabbing at every movement based on a requirement that I use the damned RFID device. All of my new acquaintances heard my exasperation.
“I really don’t like it here and I don’t want to be here,” my guest said after rolling through intersection after intersection containing 2 real time CCTV cameras, a scattershot detector and some ugly speed radar equipment. If you couldn’t make the case for a government audit based on waste detection, you could make the case for sheer urban blight.
The first time I noticed the cameras weren’t limited to intersections, I was shopping with my partner at Whole Foods. As we wheeled the grocery cart to the back of the trunk, our attentions were suddenly diverted. A large ruffled crow was sounding off loudly after landing atop a city CCTV camera in the far corner of the parking lot. It was a creepy goad, galvanizing my resolve to not let Big Bro. get me down and to lend an effort to make a difference.
As we returned home, I was quickly reminded that an RFID record was created as I entered the elevator at 2:30 PM at the 1st floor of the garage and then pushed the up button to my floor at 2:31PM. If that wasn’t enough, there was a dome-camera watching my partner and I cart our groceries into the foyer while waiting on the elevator.
I didn’t actually answer these questions. I just stared at him in wonder, at how close this all seemed to some sort of lucid collaborative harassment. Could it be that someone was busy writing a SAR in anticipation of what I *might* do as an activist in the Seattle Metro area? Seattle, WA was the one of the initial pilot locations of the model Fusion Center. My mention of certain TSA workers’ cancer affliction due to airport Rapiscan equipment made for a convenient end to our conversation.
Another late development following the conference was the rise and fall of Anonymous’ Facebook Op. The 10 month old campaign railed against Facebook’s International crimes against the user privacy in this video release. Amid their other damning claims was Facebook’s involvement in trading activist profile information with authoritarian governments for purposes of targeting in Egypt and abroad.
WHEN SOMEONE DEACTIVATES YOUR RFID TAG….
A nice Indo-Asian couple and their young son boarded the elevator and recommended that I just try using my key fobb a different way. Following their advice to get to the rooftop, I took the stairs for exercise. As I got to the top, my key fobb didn’t work, glowing a nice red -NO- to my entry at the roof. I figured this was fluke.
It wasn’t. I quickly learned I was trapped in the stairwell and unless I reached the ground floor of the building I would not be able to get out. This was the certain taste of what it would be like to be suddenly cut off from access in a heavily RFID dependent building.
I quickly explained my distress over the electronic key malfunction and the close of the leasing office for the day. I didn’t have my phone with me to call for help.
He worked for Microsoft- how could he deny me technical support? We worked together to get on the phone with the building’s after hours service. We retrieved the emergency number online and moved onto the next hurdle.
As a new neighbor, he successfully assured me he wasn’t a serial killer and accompanied me to his new home to retrieve his cell phone. He didn’t yet have land line service. As I milled around the couches in partially furnished living space, I came across interesting books, The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements and a yellowed paperback of Atlas Shrugged. I could count my blessings, I was in good company.
I was given an pseudonym account with a different key fobb. Nowadays, I can get around the building and no one really knows it’s me. If the lights go down, I will know how to exit the building safely.

By Bobine Allocca. Wedding Thank You Cards. Published at Friday, March 29th, 2019 - 00:25:50 AM.
Regina Cialone, a NYC-based wedding planner with Cloud Nove Events's, says that suitable etiquette dictates that the couple handwrite the notes. Anything preprinted may well encounter as "cold and impersonal," according to Cialone. "Even just a line or two of writing makes a difference."
The most beneficial way to tackle this seemingly never-ending activity? Write the notes as you receive the gifts before and right after the wedding. "Every Sunday, sit down with a cup of coffee and create out the thank-you notes for those items," says Alex Chalk of Taylor'd Events Group. But do somewhat planning very first. Make a spreadsheet listing the invitee, the present provided, and after that a third column to maintain some useful notes. Jot down regardless of whether you have applied the item but, what you like about it, or how you strategy to enjoy it. For example, do you look forward to making weekend brunch together with your new waffle iron? This sort of specificity will make the notes somewhat far more individual and less generic, says Kristen Ley Green of One thing New for I Do. "You can even do this with money or present cards," Green says. Let the gift-giver know what you plan to buy or how you are going to make use of their generosity.

Honors courses are open to qualified undergraduates in any school of the university.
Honors classes are typically small, discussion-oriented, and taught by full-time members of the faculty. Many honors courses fulfill KU Core (or major) requirements, but they are likely to do so in more depth than their non-honors equivalents. While there is no required number of honors credit hours in which a student must enroll each semester, students must complete at least six (6) honors courses totaling at least eighteen (18) credit hours to graduate with University Honors.
During each student’s first year in the program, a semester-long seminar provides an introduction to an academic area of study in an informal setting that allows students to get to know one another and their instructor. The seminar explores the research methods of a discipline and acquaints students with resources available at KU.
Whatever a student’s school or major, the University Honors Program encourages them to explore their interests through the broad curriculum choices KU has to offer, expanding their knowledge through a range of liberal arts and science courses. Additionally, Honors students are required to engage in educational experiences beyond the classroom such as research, study abroad, internships, or community service.
Honors advising involves regular, personalized meetings with honors staff, faculty fellows, or specially selected advisors from across the university. The program’s staff facilitates early and frequent contact with academic advisors in the student’s areas of interest. Honors students benefit from priority enrollment, which provides flexibility in planning one’s academic curriculum.
More information is available at honors.ku.edu.
Students from all backgrounds who are seeking academic challenges, personalized guidance, and an intellectual community during their time at KU are encouraged to apply to the University Honors Program. For incoming first-year students, applications are evaluated on the basis of high school curriculum, unweighted high school GPA, activities and involvement, standardized test scores, and an essay. For current KU students and incoming transfer students, applications are evaluated based on college GPA, involvement and activities, and an essay. Students interested in applying can learn more at honors.ku.edu/apply.
Cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher at graduation.
Students whose GPA drops below 3.25 prior to their final semester will be expected to raise their GPA in subsequent semesters.
Students whose GPA is consistently below 3.25 over two or more consecutive semesters may be discontinued from the Honors Program.
One (1) first year honors seminar (HNRS 177, HNRS 190 or HNRS 195).
Honors courses offered by individual departments or programs.
Graduate-level courses numbered 700 and above.
Less commonly taught languages (maximum of two courses).
Courses completed under an Honors Course Contract.
Cultural Literacy & Social Justice.
Professional Development & Social Entrepreneurship.
Research Skills & In-Depth Learning.
Interdisciplinarity & Breadth of Learning.
To receive credit for an ELE, students must post a written reflection in their KU Portal when the experience is completed.
Though some experiences may overlap between two or more categories, no single activity can be counted toward more than one ELE requirement.
A course taken toward the 18 hours of Honors credit can also be used to fulfill an ELE if the student completes an appropriate reflection.
