Paula Scher walked into Barnes & Noble in Union Square the other day and asked for the map section. The first female principal of Pentagram Design, Scher is responsible for some of the most recognizable graphics around, from Shake Shack’s green outline of a burger to the blue Citibank logo with the red arch. In her spare time, she paints maps. She rode the escalator to the third floor in search of a little inspiration.
Scher, who is sixty-seven, is petite and blond, and was dressed all in gray: skirt, vest, striped tights, and a voluminous orange-trimmed scarf wound multiple times around her neck. She used her iPhone to call up images of her latest work, devoted to the United States and now on exhibit at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. Dense with colorful lines and text, the paintings record information both banal—airline routes, Zip Codes—and subtly charged, such as the median real-estate prices across the country.
“Roam,” by the B-52’s, played on the store’s speakers, as Scher unfolded a map of Paris and noted the omission of the city’s poorer neighborhoods. “They give you the half where stuff’s going on, but you don’t get to understand the city as a circle,” she said.
G.P.S., she added, makes people lazy, and even Google Maps isn’t a hundred per cent accurate. “There is no perfection,” she said. “All maps lie. All maps distort.” Her father, a photogrammetric engineer—an expert in mapping from photographs—with the U.S. Geological Survey, taught her as much. In the mid-nineteen-fifties, he invented stereo templates, improving the accuracy of aerial photography, which is vital to modern mapmaking. Maps sold at gas stations, in which the highlighted roads were not the fastest but the ones with the most gas stations, enraged him.
Scher’s studio is in her weekend house, in Connecticut, which she shares with her husband, Seymour Chwast, another design guru, who is seventeen years her senior. The couple married in 1973, divorced five years later, and remarried in 1989. “I was no longer the bimbo,” she joked. But he was still a workaholic. “I was confronted with time. We weren’t raising children, and we weren’t going skiing.” The belabored Citibank project gave her the final nudge to take up painting, in 1998. “I designed the logo in the first client meeting and spent two years having to make mind-numbing presentations,” she recalled.

LNG Simulation training in progress at MSI.
Despite its unquestionable allure, LNG as a fuel carries with it as many risks as it does answers to the problems it promises to solve. As industry and OEM’s work to remove any doubt, the collaborative effort outpaces the slow-moving regulatory machine.
Even as Lloyds Register predicts that LNG will reach a maximum 11% share of marine propulsion solutions in 2030, it also says that segments with higher proportion of small ships will see the highest LNG uptake. And, at the same time, says the global classification society in its recent paper entitled, Global Marine Fuel Trends 2030, the marine fuel mix for bulk, containers and tankers by 2030 can be defined by two words: “decreasingly conventional.” Global Marine Fuel Trends 2030 examines the landscape of fuels likely to be used by commercial shipping over the next 16 years. One of those fuels will no doubt be LNG. But, there will be others, as well.
The LNG movement, here and abroad, built in part on the premise of “if you build it, they will come” has been somewhat deflated of late, and not just because Shell decided that they would move more cautiously in this arena. LNG’s primary drivers of the environment – namely the North American ECA Requirements and the potential economic benefit of low priced LNG in region – are now being weighed against price uncertainties brought on by the rush to export, the premium cost of installing dual fuel engines, the delivery system itself (as much as $12 million for LNG tanks, compressors, refrigeration, double wall piping and distribution valves), the cost of infrastructure to support bunkering and logistics and the possibilities of other fuels, methanol, for example, being added to the mix.
In the meantime, those who have taken the plunge into the LNG arena are not sitting on their collective hands. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), classification societies, the IMO and the United States Coast Guard are all weighing in and taking measures to ensure that when LNG does hit the water in North America, safety and training standards will be robust enough to ensure that LNG as propulsion will be every bit as safe as the exemplary record that LNG ocean transport has enjoyed for decades. And, it is here where gray areas remain.
LNG as a fuel is not new. Employed for more than a decade as fuel, primarily in the North Sea in the OSV trades, these LNG powered vessels have enjoyed very good reliability in operation and like LNG transport vessels, an excellent safety record. As North America ramps up to try and repeat on that enviable record, and with no real experience in the dual fuel / LNG propulsion arena, there are also no rules with regard to training and competencies for the mariners who will very soon – MarPro sources say as early as September 2014 – have to operate those vessels. Absent those rules, industry, operators and the OEM’s are forging ahead.
The existing guidance from the United States Coast Guard (Policy Letter 02-12 – Equivalency Determination Design Criteria for Gas Fuel Systems) and based upon IMO Resolution MSC 285.86, establishes design and safety criteria for gas fuel systems. These rules involve design only and do not apply to training, credentialing or operations.
According to a recent ABS report entitled, “Bunkering of Liquid Natural Gas-fueled Marine Vessels in North America,” the USCG is developing two operating policies for LNG fuel transfer operations and training of personnel on vessels that use natural gas as fuel. The first draft operations policy letter provides voluntary guidance for LNG fuel transfer operations on vessels using natural gas as fuel in U.S. waters, and training of personnel on those vessels. The document further recommends transfer and personnel training measures that the USCG believes will achieve a level of safety that is at least equivalent to that provided for traditional fueled vessels. It would apply to vessels equipped to receive LNG for use as fuel, but not to vessels carrying LNG as cargo that use boil-off gas as fuel.
The finalized policies will serve as guidance for the USCG Captains of the Port (COTPs) and guidelines for fuel transfer operations and training of personnel working on U.S. and foreign vessels that (a.) use natural gas as a fuel and (b.) conduct fuel transfer operations in U.S. waters.
Similar gaps exist in the rules that are already in place. At an April meeting of the Merchant Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee (MERPAC), a review of the applicability of the STCW 2015 Amendments about Training of Ship’s Personnel on board Small, Domestic Vessels using Alternative Marine Fuels was undertaken. For example, the applicability of the IGF Code and training for vessels using fuels subject to the IGF code is for vessels greater than 500 Tons. But, as MERPAC personnel noted, there are likely to be vessels of less than 500 tons that will be using such fuels in the future. It is the position of MERPAC that personnel serving aboard such vessels should be subject to similar training requirements. MERPAC’s purpose is to advise the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), via the Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, on matters relating to the training, qualification, licensing, certification and fitness of seamen in the merchant marine.
And, using this very philosophy, industry is moving forward with the training necessary to operate that equipment.
LNG bunkering, according to the ABS report, can take the form of three basic options. Option 1 involves delivery from a terminal storage tank directly to the vessel, via fixed hoses and cranes or dedicated bunkering arms. A second option might involve use of a tank truck which would arrive at a prearranged transfer location and provide hoses that are connected to the truck and to the vessel moored at a dock. Another method could involve an LNG bunkering barge to come alongside the ship, allowing cargo to be loaded and the vessel to be fueled at the same time, much the same way standard bunkering is done today in many ports.
Answering the need for training in the critical area of LNG bunkering is Middletown, R.I.-based Maritime Simulation Institute (MSI). MSI is developing an LNG bunkering safety training course for Harvey Gulf International Marine as the Gulf Coast offshore support operator prepares to launch its first dual fuel offshore supply vessel. The Harvey Energy is the first of at least six such Wärtsilä 34DF-powered ships and will run primarily on liquefied natural gas and if Harvey Gulf CEO Shane Guidry has his way, that’s the only fuel that will see the inside of his new dual fuel engines. But, before that can happen, his crews have to come up to speed on something that’s never been tried under U.S. flag, or in U.S. waters. The first session, which is expected to begin in June, will be given exclusively for New Orleans-based Harvey Gulf International Marine.
MSI’s Wärtsilä-designed simulation system is based upon Wärtsilä’s equipment and operations stations, with a software/operator interface. The simulation will mimic a myriad of possible outcomes and emergencies, with the operating system, tank monitoring, pressure and temperature alarms all part of the mix. Starting in mid-June, Wärtsilä will also provide training for Harvey Gulf’s engineers in their Florida location, where they have run dual fuel/gas engine training to a wide range of users for the past decade.
The 45-hour bunkering course for Harvey’s LNG bunkering persons-in-charge (PIC) will be offered ahead of any U.S. Coast Guard regulations governing LNG bunkering. Beyond Doyle’s qualifications and industry participation, MSI itself has extensive experience in full-featured tugboat operations teaching and is applying its simulator expertise to LNG bunkering.
As MSI prepares to roll out its version of LNG Bunkering Training – the first such offering in the United States – course content will be developed on the dual-fuel propulsion system and the Harvey Gulf International Marine vessel and terminal designs. Eventually, the course will be ABS and DNV GL certified – both organizations are coming in June to ‘vet’ the course. In a unique arrangement that involves a partnership between engine OEM Wärtsilä, Harvey Gulf International, and the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, course participants will also get the benefit of fighting LNG fires at one of the few institutions set up to do so. And, it was this 1-2 punch that was so attractive to Harvey Gulf, says Harvey Gulf’s Executive Vice President Alaska & LNG Operations, Chad Verret.
Probably no one has more to lose if things do not go right than Harvey Gulf International Marine. The leader and also first out of the gate in terms of LNG as a fuel in North America, they also have an enviable safety track record to protect and build upon. According to Harvey Gulf’s Chad Verret, the decision to choose MSI for this first-of-a-kind training was not made lightly. But MSI, in business since 1981, also has deep roots in simulator knowhow and will leverage that in its new LNG bunkering offering. Indeed, MSI’s client list already reads like a ‘who’s-who’ of marine LNG operators and stakeholders.
Verret told MarPro in May that there would be no corners cut on the way to a safe and fully compliant dual fuel operation for his firm. “Every person that needs to respond to an emergency – on some boats, that might mean a cook, on others, it might not – will get this training.” He added, “We’ll have 6 vessels involving 9 to 10 crews, plus safety and certain office/shore personnel. It’ll eventually involve over 100 people.” Also according to Verret, the course adheres to recommendations from IMO and the U.S. Coast Guard, is designed to provide competencies and employs a proprietary Wärtsilä designed simulation system. “As things evolve even further, we will ramp up to meet those requirements,” he said.
The American Bureau of Shipping says that “There is a need in the maritime industry for guidance when considering the adoption of LNG as a fuel or supplying fuel to the marine market.” The global classification society, as much as any other, has been busy doing just that. But, with LNG and/or dual fueled vessels already in the water and still others on the backlogs of U.S. shipyards, the need to quantify that advice for early adopters is paramount. And, unlike the conundrum presented to operators trying to decide when, where and what kind of ballast water treatment systems to install ahead of final approvals and alignment of global, federal and state regulations, LNG as a marine fuel is already here.
Fortunately, the training necessary to ensure that the rollout goes smoothly in North American waters is also here. Being first with dual fuel engines, the North American vessels that employ that technology and the training that defines how they will be operated carries with it a measure of risk. There is virtually no room for error as the age of dual fuel and LNG propulsion kicks off on this side of the pond. MSI’s LNG Bunkering training course, the product of industry collaboration – OEM’s, vessel operators and an experienced training center – and based exclusively on existing, available regulatory guidance, is just one more example of where maritime stakeholders are at the spearhead of efforts to ensure a safer waterfront.

I'm a Boston based Editor and Colorist, working all over this great country of ours. I'm also a video engineer at Rule Boston Camera - so there's that.
Firstly, I'm speaking more about what actual color space they are choosing to use as a gamma, built in to the actual technology of the display - rec2020 is a standard, "HDR" is whatever they want that's wider than rec709 or sRGB displays. That being said, you could use a rec2020 LUT on top of LOG footage being shot in that color space, most people don't view LOG when shooting. Having a LUT helps with exposure, among other things. But that's neither here nor there - really, what we need to figure out is what kind of standard they are making this panel to - what the hell is "HDR" really, according to Atomos?
I really hope they go with rec2020 for HDR, and not some made up gamma.
It's not exactly 70's style, just influenced visually in set design, and mood. We are trying to do something sorta new, i.e. - using vintage glass and film cameras and introducing that to the modern movement aesthetic of handheld gimbals. Though, steadicam would make things much easier!
NICE! Let me know if you guys figure a way to remote start and stop, we were thinking about some possible drone work on this, but didn't feel burning all that film on liftoff was feasible financially.
Yeah, that made things easier to say the least haha. Shorter run times, though, so that's a new challenge.
Thanks so much! We've called around and done some pretty extensive research, mostly hoping someone else had flown film before. Seems we may be the first, which is pretty exciting/terrifying. We're pumped to show something new!

You can skip this chapter if you use a PIC USB Demo Board. The microcontroller on this demo board already contains compiled and ready to use bootloader.
USB PIC Bootloader is distributed with its source code. The most recent version you can download from the Diolan website. The distribution contains all the necessary MPLAB project files. Bootloader is developed on PIC18 assembler language. MPASM compiler is all you need to compile it. At the time of writing this documentation MPASM compiler is free and can be downloaded from Microchip company website. MPASM is also part of an integrated development environment MPLAB. Further description of the compilation process implies the use of MPLAB.
MPASM - assembler for PIC18 microcontrollers.
Download the file with bootloader source code and unzip it. To unpack the archive you can use WinZIP, WinRAR or any other ZIP format archiver. If you use OS Windows XP, you can use the built-in unpacker. To do this, click right mouse button over the archive file and select "Extract" from the menu. As a result, you will get pic_bootloader folder, containing Diolan USB PIC Bootloader source code.
Use MPLAB to compile bootloader source code. If you do not have MPLAB, you can download it from Microchip web site and install. MPLAB has its own documentation for installation and usage. We encourage you to read this documentation before compiling the bootloader source code. During the installation you have to choose support for 8 bit PIC18 microcontrollers and MPASM Suite.
Start MPLAB and open the bootloader project with "File->Open Workspace" menu. To do this in the file open window go to the directory containing the unpacked bootloader and choose the bootloader.mcw file. You will see a list of bootloader source code files in the project window.
Bootloader uses its own linker command file - Bootloader.lkr. Verify that this file is specified in the list of project files. Verify the configuration options to specify your type of the microcontroller. To select the microcontroller type, use "Configuration->Select Device" menu and select PIC18F4455. Then, using the menu "Configure->Configuration Bits" open the window with the configuration bits and select checkbox "Configuration Bits set in code".
Open the project settings dialog using the menu "Project->Build options->Project", select Microchip MPLAB Suite tab and verify that the check box marked "Extended mode" is on. Bootloader has to be compiled in PIC18 advanced mode. See microcontroller documentation for detailed information on different operation modes.
Use the menu "Project->Build" or click the Build button on the toolbar to start the compilation. After the compilation bootloader can be programmed into the target microcontroller.

It could be argued that this is the Filter Bubble in action… how likely is it, for example, that a randomly selected person on the street would have heard of this book?
Take education, or research, for example. Sometimes, we want to get the right answer to a particular question. In times gone by, we might have asked a librarian for help, if not to such a particular book or reference source, at least to help us find one that might be appropriate for our needs. Nowadays, it’s often easier to turn to a web search engine than it is to find a librarian, but there are risks in doing that: after all, no-one really knows what secret sauce is used in the Google search ranking algorithm that determines which results get placed where in response to a particular search request. The results we get may be diverse in the sense that they are ranked in part by the behaviour of millions of other search engine users, but from that diversity do we just get – noise?
As part of the web personalisation/search experiment, we found that for many people, the effects of changing personalisation settings had no noticeable effect on the first page of results returned for a search on the word “platform”. But for some people, there were differences… From my own experience of making dozens of technology (and Formula One!) related searches a day, the results I get back for those topics hen I’m logged in to Google are very different to when I have disabled the personalised reslults. As far as my job goes, I have a supercharged version of Google that is tuned to return particular sorts of results – code snippets, results from sources I trust, and so on. In certain respects, the filter bubble is akin to my own personal librarian. In this particular case, the filter bubble (I believe), works to my benefit.
Indeed, I’ve even wondered before whether a “trained” Google account might actually be a valuable commodity: Could Librarians Be Influential Friends? And Who Owns Your Search Persona?. Being able to be an effective searcher requires several skills, including the phrasing of the search query itself, the ability to skim results and look for signals that suggest a result is reliable, and the ability to refine queries. (For a quick – and free – mini-course on how to improve your searching, check out the OU Library’s Safari course.) But I think it will increasingly rely on personalisation features…which means you need to have some idea about how the personalisation works in order to make the most of its benefits and mitigate the risks.
As well as the content we discover through search engines, content discovered through social networks is becoming of increasing importance. Something I’ve been looking at for some time is the structure of social networks on Twitter, in part as a “self-reflection” tool to help us see where we might be situated in a professional social sense based on the people we follow and who follow us. Of course, this can sometimes lead to incestuous behaviour, where the only people talking about a subject are people who know each other.
As far as diversity goes, if you follow people who only follow each other, then it might be that the only ideas you come across are ideas that keep getting recycled by the same few people… Or it might be the case that a highly connected group of people shows a well defined special interest group on a particular topic….
To get a feel for what we can learn about our own filter bubbles in Twitterspace, I had a quick look at Gareth Mitchell’s context (@garethm on Twitter). One of the dangers of using public apps is that anyone can do this sort of analysis of course, but the ethics around my using Gareth as a guinea pig in this example is maybe the topic of another programme…!
The nodes represent people Gareth follows, and they have been organised into coloured groups based on a social network analysis measure that tries to identify groups of tightly interconnected individuals. The nodes are sized according to a metric known as “Authority”, which reflects the extent to which people are followed by other members of the network.
A crude first glance at the graph suggests a technology (purple) and science (fluorine-y yellowy green) cluster to me, but Gareth might be able to label those groups differently.
The flowers are separate lists. People who are on several lists are caught on the spiderweb threads connecting the list flowers… In a sense, the lists are filter bubbles defined by other people into which Gareth has been placed. To the left in the image above, we see there are a few lists that appear to share quite a few members: convergent filters?!
For extended interviews and additional material relating to the OU/Click series on openness, make sure you visit Click (#bbcClickRadio) on OpenLearn.
Did we miss a trick at dev8d? Should we revive the filter bubble experiment or has that ship sailed?

Supersoft has been one of the most popular balls for years, with golfers who like it so much that they won’t play any other golf ball. And with the new Supersoft Magna, we’ve introduced a completely new kind of golf ball design to make the game easier and more fun.
It’s an oversized ball that creates all the super long, super straight, and super soft characteristics of Supersoft with a super easy-to-hit construction. That’s right, it’s a larger, more forgiving golf ball that still conforms to the USGA Rules of Golf, and it’s designed for players who struggle with consistent solid contact, and those looking for more distance and easy launch.
The key to this is a higher Center of Gravity that promotes the high launch and pleasing contact that you normally get when a ball is teed up. Supersoft Magna will give golfers, especially developing golfers and slow swing speed players, a lot more confidence with excellent feel, and long, straight distance.
More Forgiveness and Consistency From A Larger Golf Ball: Magna is larger, yes larger, than a standard golf ball while still conforming to the rules of golf. Its higher center of gravity and high MOI allow golfers, especially developing golfers and slow swing speed players, to make better contact on the club face to promote more consistent shots with high launch.
Longer Distance and Increased Accuracy From The Ultra-Low Compression Core: The proven Supersoft low compression core promotes faster ball speed and low spin for longer, straighter flight on full shots.
Long Carry and Long Distance From New Low-Drag HEX Aerodynamics®: Newly designed HEX Aerodynamics for this oversized ball are optimized to promote a lower spin rate, to reduce drag and enhance lift for increased carry, higher flight and longer distance.
Enhanced Feel and Increased Greenside Control From the New Softer Cover: A Soft Trionomer cover formulation for shot-stopping wedge spin and great feel.

The inferior alveolar nerve, which gives feeling to the lower lip and chin, may need to be moved in order to make room for the placement of dental implants in the lower jaw. This procedure is limited to the lower jaw and may be indicated when teeth are missing in the area of the two back molars and/or second premolars. This procedure is considered a very aggressive approach since there is almost always some postoperative numbness of the lower lip and jaw area, which typically dissipates very slowly, but may be permanent. Usually other, less aggressive options are considered first (placement of blade implants, etc).
Typically, we remove an outer section of the cheek on the side of the lower jawbone in order to expose the nerve and vessel canal. We then isolate the nerve and vessel bundle in that area and slightly pull it out to the side. We then place the implants while tracking the neuro-vascular bundle. Then the bundle is released and placed back over the dental implants. The surgical access is refilled with bone graft material of the surgeon’s choice and the area is closed.

Andrew Johns knows the worst game he ever played in his rugby league career.
It was at Brookvale Oval in 1996 against Manly.
For most punters, they’d remember it was the day the Newcastle legend ran out with his hair dyed bright red.
While many simply laughed it off as a horrible fashion decision — Johns admits he’s “embarrassed” to view the vision — there was a more serious issue bubbling on behind the scenes as he revealed in an interview with brother Matty on Sunday Night with Matty Johns.
“That day, I wouldn’t say it was a turning point in my career, it was a turning point in my life,” Johns said.
“At the time, I was just totally out of control. I had no control over my life. My life was absolute chaos.
“There were times I’d wake up and I’d have so many creative thoughts. I’d go to training and I’d train unbelievably, and I’d go home and I couldn’t sleep. I’d just be up all night writing stuff down.
“There were some days I couldn’t get out of bed. I literally — not that I couldn’t leave the house — I couldn’t leave my bed.
“That day, I don’t know whether it was a subconscious thing, if it was a cry for help, but the next day I went and saw my club doctor.
“I said ‘look, I need to get some help because this is happening, this is happening. This is how I feel’.
“They sent me away to get some professional help and then I came back with some disorder I was going through, some health issues … bipolar, which at the time was devastating for me.
“At that stage, mental health was something we didn’t talk about like we do now openly.
Johns said he copes “a lot better” with the disorder nowadays and credits surfing, swimming and yoga as his best forms of “medication”.
“It’s really hard to deal with because people don’t understand until you’re the person going through it,” he said.

Johns gave an insight into the effects his bipolar medication had on him.
“The medication I’m now on for epilepsy doubles as the medication I took for bipolar,” Johns said.
“The problem is back then when I was diagnosed in the late 90s, I would take my medication, but they were stealing the highs from me and I wanted the highs but the highs were when I’d get into trouble and do erratic things.
“So I’d take my medication for six weeks and I’d be on an even keel, but then I didn’t have my highs so I’d go off it and get into trouble.

We have a small 400 acre mixed farm on Cotswold brash which has been in CSSS and HLS for 16 years. We have extensive margins and are recreating flower rich grassland; wildflowers cover about 70 acres on the farm, offering plenty of choice for pollinating insects. The most recent is an 15 acre arable field recently sown to a Cotswold mix, as part of a sustainable farming system that includes more pollinators.
Editor’s note: Mike’s beautiful farm is located over the county border in Oxfordshire – but pollinators don’t mind about that and it’s great to hear uplifting stories from anywhere in the country!

As another year comes to a close an important Japanese tradition will soon begin. This tradition revolves around giving Otoshidama (お年玉). Otoshidama is the annual giving of money to children to celebrate the new year. Each year children, and sometimes even college students, eagerly await an influx of freshly folded bills given to them by parents and family members. This tradition was originally based on the giving of rice cakes, which were called Otoshidama (God's spirit) to help give people power. This tradition changed from giving rice cakes to giving money during the Edo period (1603-1868).
In today's society children and teenagers get money during the New Year's holiday (January 1-3). It's important to note that children don't get money before the New Year's holiday. How much money is given varies depending on the age of the recipients, the location in which you reside, your income, and how close you are to the family member(s). The average amount (in Okinawa) is ￥1,000 and it's not unheard of for some high school or college students to receive over ￥10,000. It's important to note that in mainland Japan the average is higher. For larger families, family members sometimes give the exact same amount regardless of age (to allow for everyone to feel equal or to not hurt anyones feelings). The money is put into envelopes named pochibukuro/otoshidamabukuro (ぽち袋/お年玉袋). Then at a family gathering or family visit during the New Year's holiday they are given out to the various children in the family.
Now we will talk about how to prepare Otoshidama to give to children.
First you will need some nice crisp bills. You should plan ahead by a week or two and get your bills and pochibukuro early. Many banks and stores will refuse to give out (or run out of) ￥1,000 bills.
Second, you'll need to pick up some pochibukuro. They have smaller and larger sized envelopes and which you choose is a matter of preference. There are many different styles of pochibukuro available to buy at Daiso, ￥100 stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, and department stores. They are priced from ￥80-500 for a set of 6-10 envelopes.
Next, you will want to prepare the bills to be inserted into the envelopes. It should be noted that some people will fold their bills differently. My family prefers to showcase Mt. Fuji (although our 95 year old grandmother prefers to showcase Hideo Noguchi because, "It's someones face!" as she says). We will be using ￥1,000 bills to demonstrate how to do this.
First have the face side of the bill facing you (as seen above). Next fold from the left side to the right side. You should bring the edge of the bill to the "券 (ken)" kanji and then crease it (as shown below).
Next, allow the folded side to rise and fold the left side to the newly created corner and crease it.
Finally, fold the first fold over again so you can see Mt. Fuji. Woo hoo! The folding part is finished. Pretty easy, right?
Next you'll need to write on the pochibukuro. Some envelopes only leave a space for one name. This is to let the recipient know who the money has come from, so write your (family's) name. We tried to chose envelopes with two spaces; one for the recipients name and one for our name (mainly to help us organize them to give out at family gatherings later).
Next you'll need to put the money in. Since this is a happy occasion the money's face (in this case Mt. Fuji) must face toward the front of the card (the decorated side).
Put the money in, seal it with glue or stickers and you're finished!

Many people discover that cars may not be the best mode of transportation here in Provincetown. Thanks to our location on the sea, our narrow roads, and the amount of pedestrians in our town, using an automobile can be both inconvenient to you, and dangerous to others. And during large-event weekends, just forget going anywhere via car! So during your bed and breakfast getaway to your favorite Distinctive Inns of Provincetown member inn, we recommend bicycle travel if you don’t care to walk.
Bicycles are, by far, the most popular mode of transportation here in town aside from walking. If you don’t bring your own bicycle with you, it is both easy and economical to rent one during your stay. Rental costs start at $20/day and $84/week during the heavy season, and $16/day and $59/week during the off-season, depending on which bicycle model you select. There are four locations for bike rental here in town. We recommend making reservations for bicycles before your arrival to make sure you’ll have transportation once you arrive.
Province Lands Bike Trail at Race Point is a 5.45 loop trail with a total of almost two additional miles of spurs leading to Herring Cove Beach, Race Point Beach, and Bennett Pond. this is a hilly loop, providing a bit of challenge during your ride through 4000 acres of sand dunes, marshland, and the Beech Forest. You’ll witness gorgeous scenery wherever you wander on this trail!
Just to the east of town lies Head of the Meadow Trail in Truro. This 2-mile one-way (4 miles round trip) ride meanders by a salt meadow with plenty of greenery to make it pretty. If you ride west-to-east, a stop at Head of the Meadow Beach makes for a nice picnic spot and place to rest (with facilities). If you intend to make a day of it and ride from Provincetown to Truro, we recommend taking Bradford Street/Shore Road.
Our member inns will work with you regarding bicycle parking if you decide to bring your own, or to rent long-term while here in town. Fee free to contact us before you arrive if you have questions regarding bicycle parking!
When you bike, make sure to carry water, sunblock, a camera, and even food/snacks, no matter where you travel. Please watch for Areas of Caution signs which are placed in rocky/sandy areas for your safety, and for any pedestrians you may encounter. And by all means, take your time – bicycling is meant to be enjoyed!

← Importierter Hass oder einheimische Angstmache?
Statement by the Salaam-Shalom Initiative. English translation by Phil Butland and Deborah S. Phillips.
In recent months, various parties have expressed concern about refugees from Syria and Iraq bringing problematic attitudes into the country. It is assumed that refugees hail from countries in which an anti-zionist stance is part and parcel of government policy. This would require the implementation of “upper limits” for refugees, as well as their committing themselves to Israel’s right to exist, while also giving priority “integrating” refugees to familiarise them with so-called German values.
The paternalistic tone of such arguments against newcomers shows one thing above all: social inclusion is not aimed at. The picture being painted is one of a threat which can only be answered with education enforced from above.
This reasoning is all the more absurd, as anti-Semitism itself, discourse and Stigmata are central components of the “Occident” developed by “enlightened” Christianity. People who attribute an “anti-Semitic” culture to all those from “Muslim” countries who have migrated to Germany, lack a certain cultural self-enlightenment: Germans with Christian backgrounds must also be aware of and account for their own heritage.
Furthermore, the definition of anti-Semitism on which these arguments are based is questionable. The premise, which is rarely explicitly formulated, is that refugees are anti-Semitic because any criticism of the State of Israel is seen as such. We should remember that rejection of Zionist movements had been a central component of Jewish discourse until much of European Jewry was decimated by the Nazis. Although this is largely overlooked, a genuine Jewish anti-Zionist tradition is a historical fact.
Additionally, equating anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism inevitably leads to a de-legitimization of the history of the Palestinian people and their aspirations in light of this history. It is understandable that many Palestinian refugees (especially those who lost their homes in wars in and around Israel) have a completely different perspective of Israel than Germans who feel, per se, bound to the state by historic responsibility. Some refugees‘ rejection of the Jewish state is thus not necessarily motivated by hatred of Jews: it is, on the contrary, an expression and a consequence of a political conflict in which a non-Jewish indigenous population lost a great deal of land and property. This is a matter of historic rights. The occupation is still going on and those who live in the occupied Palestinian territories have no semblance of legal security. They are subjected to reprisals, and lack control of and access to resources.
Anti-Semitism in the mainstream of German society is politically and sociologically different to the anti-Zionist sentiments of some refugees. Clearly, such opinions can potentially be accompanied by anti-Semitism. This does not mean, however, that every criticism of the Jewish nation state is motivated by anti-Semitism. German civil society, whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish or religiously unaffiliated must find ways of dealing with historic and present day anti-Semitism, while simultaneously acknowledging that the Palestinian people have paid and are continuing to pay a huge price for the safety of the Jewish state.
We need to fight and will fight anti-Semitism – whenever and wherever. It appears. We cannot, however, fight anti-Semitism by automatically branding anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism, belittling the historic narrative of the Palestinians and denying their historical suffering in the name of a Jewish historic narrative. Quite the opposite: we must listen to each other and accept the existence of more than just one single perspective of the Middle East.

Noonan on latest ObamaCare delay: Is there even an ObamaCare law anymore?
Last week, the Obama administration implicitly announced that they have lately been visited with the dawning realization that their initial extralegal fix to the “if you like your plan, you can keep it” debacle that Democrats created for themselves… actually created another debacle for themselves (funny how that happens, isn’t it?). In November, President Obama decided from on high that he would allow all of those millions of canceled health insurance plans in the individual insurance market that didn’t meet ObamaCare’s magnanimous specifications to be un-cancelled for a year — which, inconveniently, would mean that a whole slew of cancellations would start coming due right around the hottest point of the midterm campaign season. That would mean a lot of awkward town-hall conversations about how forcing people off of inexpensive, minimal plans is a feature and not a bug of the president’s crowning legislative achievement, and Democrats are going to have enough trouble as it is defending their involvement in getting this national disaster passed.
Ergo, in steps the Obama administration with the oh-so-ingenious and legally dubious idea of allowing these un-cancelled plans to remain un-cancelled for an additional couple of years through 2016 — and so what if that leads to the further deterioration of the already-struggling insurance risk pools that look like they’ll be perilously short on the requisite number of young invincibles to keep them functioning? Democrats will worry about that later, ya’ll, ’cause in the meantime, they’ve got elections to win.
The fundamental problem here is that the administration is just not signing up enough people to make anyone confident this program is sustainable.
Even if the administration gets 20%, or 25%, or 30% of the eligible group signed-up by March 31, that is nowhere near enough to create a sustainable pool. The long-time underwriting rule calls for at least 70% of an eligible group to participate in order to get enough healthy people to pay for the sick who will always show up first for coverage.

Gmail users received an email from Google yesterday notifying them that the company has settled a class action over alleged privacy violations by the Buzz service. According to the settlement, Google will pay $8.5 million into an independent fund that will be used to support Internet privacy education. According to the settlement, no one in the class action will receive individual financial compensation, except for the seven users who initiated the suit, who will get $2,500 each.
The suit was initiated after Google launched Google Buzz and automatically opted every Gmail user into the new social network. Users objected that Buzz automatically “friended” them (to use the Facebook lexicon) with the people they emailed most frequently, thereby making their updates automatically visible to those connections. The objections centered around the fact that the people emailed most frequently weren’t necessarily people they’d want to connect to in a social network, like an ex-husband or a boss.
A “fairness hearing”–in which interested parties can make arguments for or against the settlement–is slated for January 31. The judge presiding over the case will then decide whether or not to approve the settlement. Class members who want to be excluded from the settlement—which means they reserve the right to sue Google independently—must file for exclusion status by December 6. Settlement participants who want to remain in the class but register objections to it must file by January 10. Anyone who wants to speak at the fairness hearing must send a notice to that effect by January 10.

This methodology represents CO2 emissions associated with the production of grid electricity in India. The data is based upon the Greenhouse Gas Protocol customized tool for cement produciton in India.
This methodology is based upon emissions factors which represent the rate at which emissions occur in relation to quantities of electricity consumed. Multiplying a quantity of electricity consumed by these emissions factors results in an estimate of the emissions associated with that quantity.
The emissions intensity of grid electricity in India varies according to specfic grid sub-regions. Each grid sub-region is represented by it's own characteristic emissions intensity related to the specific mix of generating technologies employed wihtin each region. This information is described within an associated dataset. This methodology contains a mapping from Indian states to sub-regions of the Indian grid network, thereby enabling the calculation of electricity associated emissions on the basis of state. 28 Indian states are represented, each mapped to one of 5 grid sub-regions which is, in-turn, represented by a characteristic CO2 emissions intensity.
The quantity of electricity generated is required to make a calculation.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol worksheets additionally provide functionality for the accounting of electricity usage in shared facilities. This calculation is based on the proportion of floor area which is under consideration (e.g. square feet of office space). In this case the 'responsible' and 'total' areas should also be provided.
By default, the quantity returned represents the CO2 emissions associated with the state and the total quantity of energy specified. If values for the 'responsible' and 'total' areas are provided the returned value represents just the emissions attributable to the area under consdsideration.

The weather will do what it will do. When the pressure changes, or the temperature drops, the body has a number of systems that respond naturally. Some of these changes are not necessarily negative. Indeed, cold weather can actually be beneficial to bearers of varicose veins, as the chill in the air and body causes veins to shrink automatically, thereby reducing the effect and appearance of the varicose veins. However, there are some drawbacks. Cold weather can also cause the body to go into a sort of energy conservation mode, essentially slowing down the entire circulatory system in order to hang on to the warmth. This will obviously have an adverse result with regards to general vascular health, and can be especially troubling for someone suffering from varicose veins already.
One of the biggest problems with the colder season is the lethargy that it can bring. It isn’t just the bears of the world that want to hibernate when the cold winds start to blow. When it is too cold to go outside, often people will simply huddle up inside. Couple all of this inactivity with an overabundance of fatty foods and you have a disastrous cocktail, not just for vascular health for for overall health in general. Make sure you get plenty of exercise and maintain a balanced, nutritious diet during the chilliest part of the year. Design a meal plan focusing on foods that positively affect the circulatory system, such as garlic and dark chocolate (you are probably going to want to use those in separate dishes). Avoid long stretches of sitting around in the recliner or on the couch. Work out inside, enjoying the warmth of your own home, or at a gym that you like.
Yes, it is true that the winter months will bring with them their own special set of challenges and quirks, but it is also true that we as individuals control much of how our situation plays out over the long term. We can not control the temperature, but we can control how we respond to it. We can control what steps we take to ensure our health is properly maintained and that our vascular system is operating at its best possible levels.
At the Vein & Vascular Center in Jackson, TN, we specialize in providing the most up-to-date, professional vascular care. Our office is located at 395 Hospital Blvd, Jackson , TN. Call us at 731-664-7395, or find us on our website where you can learn more about our team and services.

An Akron developer and a group of investors plan to restore the former Steinway Hall — the last original mansion on Millionaire’s Row on East Market Street.
The building was purchased by developer and historic renovator Tony Troppe and investors, including Medina-based Pride One Construction.
The owner for 30 years was Ted Good, president and CEO of Steinway Piano Gallery Cleveland.
Good operated Steinway Hall and the T.S. Good Organ Co. for 25 years in the 44-room mansion built by Akron industrialist Byron Robinson. However, in 2013, Good, who moved his business to a former Harley-Davidson dealership in Boston Heights off state Route 8, put the mansion up for sale for $950,000. He said he would hang on to the building until he found the right buyer.
On March 12, public records show it was sold for $375,000 to the Robinson Revival Group, which consists of Troppe and investors.
In an interview Monday, Good said he had hoped from the start that Troppe would find interest and money to invest in the mansion, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
“It was just the right thing to do,” Good said of holding off from selling the 2.5-acre parcel, which includes the mansion and a carriage house, to convenience store and dollar-store companies.
“We had a lot of offers. A lot of people wanted to tear it down,” said Good, who was told the parcel was the largest for sale in the city of Akron that was still intact with its original home.
Built in 1906 at Buchtel Avenue and Market Street, it’s the last house remaining of the original Millionaire’s Row on East Market, Troppe said. Many of the millionaires moved to Merriman Road to escape the rubber smells.
Robinson was a second-generation leader of the family business, Robinson Clay Products Co. and his mansion includes products from his company on the roof and exterior.
For 35 years after it served as the home for the Robinson family, it was the Florence Crittenton Home for unwed mothers and later was taken over by a fraternity.
Nearly all pianists performing with the Akron Symphony Orchestra, the Canton Symphony and Tuesday Musical Club have played in the former Steinway Hall, including Emmanuel Ax. A Steinway descendant was a featured guest at the hall's grand opening.
Good said his original $950,000 price was “pie in the sky” since he wasn’t in a rush to sell.
“We had to find somebody to preserve it,” he said.
Troppe is the right person, Good said.
Dana Noel, president of Progress through Preservation, said his organization "couldn't think of a better person to get" the mansion and credited Good for not selling it to be razed.
Troppe said the building will once again be known as the Robinson Mansion.
“It was built to last forever,” Troppe said, noting that the extensive woodwork and leaded glass, which could be Tiffany glass, drew him to the house.
“It pained me to think a gas station could move in,” he said.
Troppe toured the mansion a few years ago with Zac Kohl, executive director of The Well CDC, who was looking for an old building to reuse and house his community development corporation. Instead, Kohl’s organization bought the former Presbyterian church a few doors down on Market Street.
Troppe has been excited to see Kohl's neighborhood redevelopment.
“Normally I’m the lead, but I’m following the lead of solid benefactors. I’m pleased to add to the excitement there,” Troppe said.
The house was vandalized while it was for sale. Good said it was emotional and hard to have to go to the house nearly daily for a while after a break-in until he finally boarded up all entrances to the house. Still, vandals continued to come.
But Good kept the heat on in the home and wanted to make sure structurally, the house was intact for the next owner. When Good bought it in 1989, the pipes had burst, causing extensive damage.
He said work will begin in the next 60 days and he hopes to have the first tenants in by Thanksgiving or the end of the year. It’s too early to announce tenants, he said, adding that he hopes to “restore the home to its original grandeur, while upgrading the electric and installing a multistory elevator” and air conditioning.
The building will have a mix of uses, including room for companies or organizations and loft-style apartments. The carriage house in the back will be a second phase project for more loft apartments.
Troppe said he will apply for historic tax credits for the project. Investment costs for the renovation are premature, he said.

*I was wearing shoes while I was using power tools. Don’t freak out. This was the dust that accumulated on my feet after the belt broke, I took off my shoes to run inside and grab a broom, came back outside, decided to skip the shoes and started brushing off our project. See, no freaking out necessary. Also, my bruised but not broken toe is mostly returned to normal. Bruising has all but gone, the pain… well it still hurts.
I wish I could accomplish as much as you do woman. You are amazing! What are you sanding??

It used to be anxiously waiting.
It is now Patiently Waiting!
No longer are the days filled with much stress.
No more are the hours filled with worrisome thoughts.
No longer does the heart race seemingly out of control.
Now, I am Patiently Waiting.
Yes! I still want it just as bad as I did in times past.
Yes! My desires are still very much the same.
Yes! I am still hopeful and filled with beautiful expectations.
Now, I am doing time with Patience!
Incarceration can take a heavy toll to weigh down upon the strongest man or woman.
Incarceration can infiltrate the mind and spread its wicked poison to make the most focused man or woman fear and doubt.
Incarceration can break a person’s spirit with each year that passes by and it still holds the person locked inside.
Now, I have personally experienced this.
It is in the Patience that the battle is won against incarceration.
It is in the Patience that any man or woman can live a life already free within.
It is in the Patience the deepest desires of the heart are given.
Now, I finally know the wisdom of Patience.

Another sunny but cold morning. I am watching the weather (like I always do) and notice the temp on the way up again. It still has not hit 50 here by the lake but that’s expected. But I’ll take anything that’s sunny and in the 40’s. Maybe Thursday I’ll bring someone in the store so I can ride.
Soon I should start Long Ride Wednesdays. Soon.
Your looking at the Stewart J Cort heading up to Superior,WI. This is about as close to the shore as they get now. The big ships are almost all working now. There everywhere out there. Most of the time you cant see them at all.
My next ship trip will be a good one.
The ships pull up on the right or left and trucks rumble overhead and dump the ore in bins. Then the dock dump the bins into the ship. They can dump any bin depending on where they want to distribute the weight. I don’t know who long it takes but I know what ships work out of there so I can watch them and when I see one heading there I can plan the four hour drive.
Of course this trip will have some bike riding too.
Maybe as soon as the snow melts.

The 33-year-old wideman had one-year left on his contract after signing a three-year deal when he signed for Pompey from Chesterfield in 2015.
Last season, as the south coast club won the League Two title in unforgettable fashion, Roberts played through the pain of a persistent injury to make 42 appearances for Paul Cook’s side as Pompey returned to the third tier.
In total, the former Accrington Stanley and Huddersfield man made 80 appearances during his time at Fratton Park, scoring 20 goals, and Portsmouth’s chief executive Mike Catlin said: “I’d like to offer my sincere thanks to Gary – both on a personal level and on behalf of everyone at the club.
“I hope that he will forever be remembered for what he achieved at Pompey, especially last season when we went on that fantastic run to win the title.
Despite his impressive spell in Hampshire, Roberts fell out of favour with Kenny Jackett since his arrival as manager, and he had been made to train on his own.

It's like nothing seems right, and everything feels wrong. You attacked your mailman simply because he needed you to sign for something. Your dog is cowering in the corner, ready for you to just snap! You haven't been given this wide a berth since that time back in college when you refused to wear socks with your old running shoes.
Your car wouldn't start this morning (probably should have paid attention to that "check engine" light), you were late for work, your feet hurt, and you've got a headache. Come on!
Time to realize that this will all pass. You just need to persevere through this storm. So you've had a bad day; here's hoping tomorrow is a bright and sunny one.

This week we're adding two hair growth stimulators to the party: The Green Giant & The Master Hair Cleanse.
Hair Growth Stimulator #1 is an edible tip that is excellent steamed, warmed, juiced, raw, and baked. Add a big handful to your soups, salads, and smoothies this week.
Hair growth stimulator #2 is a different take on a familiar cleanse. It's awesome for all hair tea and tonic lovers.
My first fast was a master cleanse in 2001. For 21 days I drank a gallon of the master cleanse, plain water and fruit juices.
At the time, I was afraid all vegetable juices would taste like a V8…and I didn't like V8's.
I prayed to God — that if She ever let me finish that fast, I would never do another one.
Well, I never did another master cleanse — at least not by drinking a gallon of it a day.
I created this recipe for hair, after a case of dandruff took up residence in my kids' hair. They were learning to swim and it happened to be in the winter months, at an indoor facility. Hair cleansing and conditioning had to be simple, effective, and good.
Luckily no one caught the flu.
Whose idea was that anyway?
The girls love making honey water to rinse their hair immediately after getting out of the pool. So, I added additional honey, water, castor oil, and lemon juice (for scent). I had a lot of molasses for some reason, so I added some of that and opened the refrigerator to see if something else jumped out at me.
Except the castor oil…which was actually in the pantry, but I digress.
It was Super Bowl Weekend 2014, my hair was done, and salsa making was underway. I had peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, and tomatoes all over the place.
I Googled those ingredients with hair growth and found quite a bit on cayenne pepper (and onions, garlic and tomatoes – now I'm hungry).
Many naturalistas swear by green, yellow, and red bell pepper (along with onion and garlic juice), as supercharging their hair growth.
I didn't find any sources to support many of the things I've seen and heard about cayenne pepper…so I'm gonna leave this one to the experts…YOU!
Has cayenne pepper (powder, extract, oil, etc.) helped your hair grow?
Strain peppers from the water.
Let cool for 15 minutes before applying.
I love castor oil in this recipe, but you can leave it out. It works even better oil-free!
If Cayenne Pepper has helped your hair grow, let us know in the comments!
How close are you to reaching your goal? What's working?What changes do you still need to make? When will you make them?What part of your hair regimen can be simplified?
FEELIN' THE NATURAL HAIR LOVE?
Thanks for stopping by! I love sharing recipes and tips for healthy natural hair. I also love green juice, big hair, and homeschooling 3 of the Greatest Kids On The Planet!

Representatives of the University of Houston and Dalian Maritime University (DMU) in China signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to further mutual goals of academic and research opportunities for students and faculty.
Last year the lives of 85 UH Engineering undergraduate students changed drastically when they received scholarships donated by the incredibly generous alumnus Dr. William A. Brookshire. On Feb. 9, these students had the opportunity to meet and thank the man who made such a lasting impact in their lives at the Brookshire Scholarship Luncheon held at the UH Hilton.
A scant few months before she defends her dissertation for a Ph.D. in environmental engineering, Aparna Balasubramani found herself on a podium in New Orleans in January receiving an award for a paper she wrote on ridding waterways of toxic chemicals.

Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido.
A former Jigawa Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, on Wednesday in Ado Ekiti, visited Gov. Fayose of Ekiti State where he solicited support for his presidential ambition.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Lamido appealed to party leaders to form a strong alliance so that the party could win the 2019 poll.
“We can defeat them easily if we all share the same thought and pains as Nigerians are feeling now,” he said.
The former governor said he decided to visit Fayose to confer with him on his presidential aspiration.
Lamido lauded Fayose for his courage, describing the governor’s bravery and vocal attitude as an impetus to the country’s fledging democracy and tonic that had been spurring the opposition party ahead of the next year’s general election.
“You are a man of courage and a man of character who is able to stand up for the people, in spite of intimidation. I respect you, I admire you and like you a lot.
“In PDP, we were in power for 16 years, somehow we lost out, we should ask the questions, where was Nigeria before PDP?
“The vision of our founding fathers like Chief Obafemi Awolowo , Aminu Kano, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa had been that there should be a Nigeria populated by human beings first not tribes, regions or zones.
Responding, Fayose described Lamido as eminently qualified to be president of Nigeria, saying he remained one of the few detrabilised Fulani leaders with capacity and exposure to deliver.
“We lived in this country and grew up to know that everyone from any tribe is our brother but when a government fails, the nation fails.
“Some people say they will rig election, but I tell them, God rules in the affairs of man. Power belongs only to God almighty,” Fayose said.
