Reflections on the Ride to Canada

Wasn’t this trip awesome!?  Wow.  I actually did it!  It’s absolutely amazing.  I’ve pulled some things together for this post I thought you’d find interesting.  Take a look!

728 miles

76 hours of riding

13 days of riding within 15 calendar days

Compare plan to actual

I made it in the number of days I had planned.  However, I was planning more like 750 miles.  I was only 22 miles short.  This is for several reasons.  One, I had to skip some really bad parts that were unrideable and two, because I ended up on the interstate in Montana, I was on a shorter route.  I’d say it was a job well done!

I had planned to do 50-60 miles a day and then a long run the last day to see how far I could go.  We had reservations at motels and such due to those plans.  It made it a little difficult to do more.  We cancelled a couple of them because we were too far past that point.  There were several days I felt I could go further than I did.

An athletic diet is a tough one, making sure you get enough carbohydrates and protein when appropriate.  I have some intolerances to some of the common ingredients in energy bars and other foods.  It was hard to find the right snacks without those ingredients.  And when we did find them, they weren’t cheap.  That’s one thing I need to research better so I can feel on top of my game the whole time.

I wanted to keep riding some days, but we were already past where we were staying for the night, so I couldn’t go much further.  An RV would make the trip a whole lot easier.  I can ride as much as I can and want each day and we won’t have to drive too far to get to a place to sleep.  Rest stops, Walmarts, campgrounds, etc. will be available for us to park for the night.  All in all, we need an RV for the coast to coast trip.

After riding on the suggested roads from Google and finding several of them to be dirt and/or gravel roads, I’ve learned I need to study the road types and state laws on what roads I can ride on.  On my ride to Canada, it was simply that I couldn’t ride on the interstates in Utah and Idaho and the roads that weren’t dozens of miles out of the way were the nasty ones.  So grateful for Montana being a less populated state that cyclists can ride on any road or interstate.  That made my life so much easier.

There were times on the trip that I felt like I wasn’t the only one on the wheel.  It felt as though other people were on it with me.  I felt a bunch of responsibility and I hoped I could measure up and do it.  It was a team effort.  I was not alone.  Thank you to everyone on my team!

There are so many people that helped put this trip together and help me pull it off.  Without them, I’d probably be stranded on the side of the road, whether in city/town or in the middle of nowhere.  I’d like to give a big thanks to all of these.

  • Family and friends for moral support and housing.
  • Organizations: the Deaf Dream, Deaf Vibe, Airbnb, The Cascade Courier
  • All prayers on my behalf.
  • Those who followed/shared the trip on here, Facebook, etc.
  • Individuals I met along the way, stopped to take pictures, talk with me, insisted I accept their donations (going towards next trip), helped me fix things up and keep going when necessary.
  • And of course my wife, who was with me the whole trip though 6 months pregnant.  She never let me down.  She’s the best cheerleader, coach, driver, supporter, and of course the best wife!  Always encouraged me and supported my dream and goal.

I have a dream that all people can achieve their dreams.  Sometimes it just takes a little motivation and encouragement.  Other times it takes another person by your side.  But really, once you set your mind to it, you can do it!

My dream is to help deaf people throughout the world achieve their goals and dreams.  I can do this by raising money for them to get a higher education.  I can’t do it alone, but I am determined to make it happen with the help of many others.

I’m hoping we can get everything in order to do the coast to coast trip next summer!!!  I’m hoping to start mid-May and ride the RAAM trail in about 2 months.  I need to find a sponsor to pay for it and many people to donate.

And guess what!?  You finally can!  Go to The Deaf Dream’s home page.  If you scroll down, it mentions my trip and there’s a button for you to donate.  100% of funds will go towards scholarships for deaf students around the world.  You are making a difference!

This photo best represents our team approach at OnPage Ideas, Inc.

We are developers, designers and business folks working together for about 13 years. We've also got a group of angel investors and a bunch of great customers who find value in what we offer them.
Scroll below to learn more about us.

What we think

Years of experience have shaped the way we think. Here are some of the lessons we've learned so far:

Improve. Always.

There's always something to learn. In depth or width. Never stop learning. Constantly improve as a person.

Evolve as a team.

Doing things alone has a limit. Evolve as a team and the limit gets skyhigh.

Be honest. Have integrity.

Don't deceive and don't lie. In the long run, it never pays. Be that kind of person you would want to interact with.

Be nice.

Go against conventional wisdom where "nice" and "business" don't go hand in hand. What goes around comes around. There's never a bad time to be surprisingly nice ;-)

Do you like the way we think? Join our team

What we do

Generally, we employ technology to build new kinds of human experiences & interactions. Or to improve existing ones. Or sometimes just to make an existing process run better. Here are some examples:

Watchdog Research

Public company risk analysis

Better auction software. Better online results.

Helping visitors meet more campus ambassadors

Who we are

We are a nimble team of entrepreneurial-minded folks. We know how to build products, business plans and marketing strategies, code, design and even hardware manufacturing. We work remotely, we use MacBooks, Slack, Trello and Google Drive/Docs.

Hey, we're expanding our team!

We are looking for talented folks that share the same vision.

Technically, we are not a "start-up", being in business for 14 years! But we still act like one and we definitely have the "start-up" attitude. We hardly get bored by the fast changing scenery.

If you want to work with us, all we ask is you have the same attitude (think "start-up", think "can do") and some skill (e.g. web coding, ruby, javascript, mobile, design, ux). We prefer the I-think-I-can-duct-tape-it-to-work type of person, over the look-at-my-impressive-CV one.

As a new team-mate you will grow to become versatile, you will have a better sense of business, you will be part of projects where you're required to make an impact. And you will measure and enjoy the fruits of your impact ;-)

Like what you read? Get in contact or meet us for a coffee.

The Coolest Graffiti Apps Out There

The Coolest Graffiti Apps Out There

When people think about graffiti, they typically focus on its negative aspects. However, graffiti is an art form filled with rich social tradition. It is often inspirational or used to spread awareness about the struggles that people go through every single day. There are many different benefits to graffiti and a whole realm of possibilities, especially now that the art form has been transformed by technology.

Mobile apps are now available that can help you design graffiti, learn how to perfect the craft, and even share pictures of it with specific groups to bring awareness to social causes. I’d love to suggest this website as a great place to start on your search for the best graffiti mobile apps.

Great Graffiti Apps

Whether you just want to make a building more beautiful, brighten up a bleak, urban scene, or make your cause known, these apps can help you become an impactful graffiti artist.

Bring Some Life to an Urban Setting

Sometimes, people who spend their entire day in the city, whether it’s working in an office with a view or making deliveries, need something to spruce up the drab and dreary buildings. Graffiti can be a positive reminder to them that the world is not all monochromatic concrete and that life is full of color and excitement.

Many businesses that have an open sidewall have begun commissioning graffiti artists to draw attention to their store as well. If you want to create graffiti-style art that sends a positive message and even gets you paid, these mobile apps can help you get design ideas and training before your big projects.

Open Up Doors to Self Expression

Similarly, these apps can help you take a phrase or an idea and change it into an art form. Graffiti is often message-based, centralizing around a certain phrase or idea and expanding on it through art. If you want to express yourself and tell the world about who you are, doing it through art is such a powerful outlet.

In a world of social media posts, people seem to think that people will actually take the time to read a long, wordy post. However, many people who see more than a paragraph will just keep scrolling. Don’t try to draw attention to your ideas through too many words. Instead, take a phrase or an idea and let it flourish in art, catching the attention of viewers and drawing them into a new world and a new way of thinking.

Raise Awareness

In the same way, graffiti will capture the attention of an audience much more quickly than shouting from the street corner or posting long-winded rants on social media. If you want your voice to be heard, try sending the message in a more aesthetically pleasing way. Graffiti can send impactful messages to a large audience since people will drive by it every single day. It’s almost like renting a billboard, except people have learned to ignore advertisements. Instead, you have an art form through which you can capture their attention.

Once you’ve captured their attention with beautiful art, your piece can point to social injustices that people need to be more aware of. Instead of trying the same approach to raising awareness through social media, you can post an eye-catching picture of graffiti that sends a message. These mobile apps can help you spread your message to the world in a way that will actually be appreciated.

Words, words, words…that’s all people scroll through on a daily basis on their phones. In a world of angry words, these mobile apps can help you be art, and art is something that people might actually take a moment to lean into.

Top 10 Movies of 2018

Academy Awards

Another Academy Awards, another year of total controversy brought upon themselves by the Academy.

The Oscars are an utter embarrassment to themselves this year. While they’ve progressed from the abysmal #OscarsSoWhite backlash, we’ve got new wreckage created by the Academy to talk about.

Academy president John Bailey announced that cinematography, film editing, live-action short and makeup/hairstyling honors will be handed out during commercial breaks at this year’s

2018 was generally a mediocre year for movies; it took me countless drafts to finalize this list, and I even pulled two foreign films into the mix (both tremendous). While I liked the movie a lot, I intentionally left Bohemian Rhapsody off my list due to the controversy surrounding the film and the film’s director Bryan Singer. If you’ve been living under a rock, you can read my review about all the drama here.

Here’s my top 10 list of my personal favorite movies from 2018.

Leo's Oscar

10. Green Book

green book

Director: Peter Farrelly
Cast: Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali, Linda Cardellini
Plot: A working-class Italian-American bouncer becomes the driver of an African-American classical pianist on a tour of venues through the 1960s American South.
Review: Surprising us all this year, Green Book took home the golden statue for Best Picture. A movie carried by tremendous performances, the story-line itself is just okay. See it for Viggo and Mahershala.

9. A Quiet Place

a quiet place movie

Director: John Krasinski
Cast:  Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds
Plot: In a post-apocalyptic world, a family is forced to live in silence while hiding from monsters with ultra-sensitive hearing.
Review: Absolutely terrifying, and a step up from Bird Box in it’s relatively similar plots. Emily Blunt delivers one of the best, and most ignored, performances of the year.

a quiet place

8. Shoplifters

shoplifters movie

Director: Hirokazu Koreeda
Cast: Lily Franky, Sakura Andô, Kirin Kiki
Plot: A family of small-time crooks take in a child they find outside in the cold.
Review: Absolutely heartbreaking and honest, this foreign feature truly teaches that family is not what you’re born into.

shoplifters gif

7. BlackKklansman

Director: Spike Lee
Cast: John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier
Plot: Ron Stallworth, an African American police officer from Colorado Springs, CO, successfully manages to infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan branch with the help of a Jewish surrogate who eventually becomes its leader.
Both hilarious and harrowing, Blakkklansman is as relevant today as it was yesterday. Spike Lee delivers another hit with an outstanding cast.

6. Black Panther

Director: Ryan Coogler
Cast: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o
Plot: T’Challa, heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, must step forward to lead his people into a new future and must confront a challenger from his country’s past.
Review: Without a doubt one of the most (if not THE most) accessible comic books movies to date. It’s both groundbreaking and highly entertaining.

black panther battle gif

5. Annihilation

Director: Alex Garland
Cast: Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson
Plot: A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don’t apply.
One of the biggest surprises this year was Annihilation. I guess the Academy has a tendency for forgetting about Sci-Fi films, because this one should have been on the Oscar roster.

annihilation gif

4. Eighth Grade

tumblr_pjngo3eotv1s39hlao3_1280 (1)

Director: Bo Burnham
Cast: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton, Emily Robinson
Plot: An introverted teenage girl tries to survive the last week of her disastrous eighth grade year before leaving to start high school.
It’s very rare that a movie taps into my subconscious as much as this movie did transporting me back to every single emotion of being a 13-year-old girl. Bo Burnham, how did you do that??

eighth grade movie gif

3. The Favourite

Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Cast: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz
Plot: In early 18th century England, a frail Queen Anne occupies the throne and her close friend, Lady Sarah, governs the country in her stead. When a new servant, Abigail, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah.
Absolutely hilarious. I’m not a fan of this director’s previous films, but this one is totally accessible for any movie-goer. Olivia Colman 100% deserved her Academy Award for this movie.

2. Cold War

cold war movie 2018

Director: Pawel Pawlikowski
Cast: Joanna Kulig, Tomasz Kot, Borys Szyc
Plot: In the 1950s, a music director falls in love with a singer and tries to persuade her to flee communist Poland for France.
Review: I didn’t anticipate having this movie on my top 10 list, but it completely blew me away. Gut-wrenching and beautiful, please make time to catch this one if you can.

cold war 2018 movie gif

1. A Star is Born

a star is born photo

Director: Bradley Cooper
Cast: Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott
Plot: A musician helps a young singer find fame, even as age and alcoholism send his own career into a downward spiral.
The best of the best came as a total shocker for me. When I initially heard about this project, I had little hope that it would be as good as it actually was. Amazing cast coupled with an even more amazing script, this movie stole my heart.

What were your favorite movies of 2018? Did the Oscars get it right or so wrong?

11 thoughts on “Top 10 Movies of 2018”

  1. Oscars got Best Animated Film right – Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse. It’s possibly the most beautiful animated film I’ve ever seen. Pretty good story too. I saw it twice in the theaters – After the first viewing I HAD to go back and SEE it again on the BIG screen.
    I almost missed it. It wasn’t on my radar. So much animation being produced now, I thought it was just a TV Spider-Man cartoon made into a feature film.
    My daughter saw the Thursday preview of opening weekend and said, “Dad, you’ve got to see it!” – so glad I did. For me, of the best films of 2018.

It’s hard to invoke that kind of feeling over the course of a long run without some form of musical accompaniment. So, try and imagine some ‘sad running’ music. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be helpful!

Social Media Marketing:
Growing Beyond Engagement

Social media has changed the game for marketers in every industry, but its impact may be unmatched in sports.
For sports marketers, social media is critical to their omni-channel approach.

Driving real outcomes

Today, social media is an integral part of life. More than 76% of adults engage on social media platforms according to Pew Research. It has become a key, effective method to reach and engage an audience. While social media may have found its footing by marking success in vanity metrics, it is now used by marketers to achieve real, measurable outcomes.

This transition from an “intern” job to a core method in the marketing mix may be more evident in sports than any industry. Sports fans are among the most engaged audiences on social media and sports marketers at every level are taking advantage of the opportunity to reach and measure interaction with real people, not just a “viewing unit.”

A platform for every publisher

Social is universally leveraged by sponsors and advertisers to engage with fans and drive outcomes in connection to their favorite teams, leagues, and athletes. It’s become a top tool for sports publishers. From top broadcasters like ESPN to local news, social media is often the first outlet to break news and share the biggest moments from games and events.

For teams, leagues, and other sports properties, social has provided a myriad of new channels to reach and engage fans, providing avenues for success that transcend follower counts and retweets — but provide real opportunities to achieve business outcomes including ticket sales, fundraising, event promotion, and community involvement.

Social’s impact on collegiate fundraising.

Purdue Athletics raised more than $3 million in 24-hours with a Twitter campaign featuring the school’s key coaches and athlete alumni.

More channels, more moments

Today’s sports marketers have channels at their fingertips that provide more efficient, measurable, and agile methods to connect with fans. With effective tools and agile strategy, these marketers can build a stronger, more consistent connection with fans than ever before.

More channels have brought more distribution, bringing fans closer to the field of play. More and more moments are finding their feeds rather than the cutting room floor. But while marketers at brands, properties, and publishers have successfully adopted social media to their sports marketing strategy, many have reached peak content distribution. They simply cannot (or should not) share more content than their current pace without risking dilution.

But this doesn’t mean marketers have to stop. Because with social media came a new iteration of an effective addition to the marketing mix: influencer marketing.

The world where social media is the playbook for sports.

See how the SM Sports industry uses athletes and social media to drive revenue outcomes.

Influencer Marketing

Today, influencers are filling our feeds with quality content, shaping opinions and decisions, and you closer to communities or products. Marketers have embraced this power. So where do athletes fit?

Endorsements and influencer marketing are often one-in-the-same in sports. The script has been flipped for endorsements in the social media era. We break down how online influence is more accessible than ever before.

Sports Marketing

In-stadium, at a sports bar, or in your Twitter feed – sports provide a communal experience. In this resource, we’ll explore the connection between brands, marketers, athletes, and their mission to reach and impact fans.

Want athletes to publish your posts?

Athletes can be a marketer’s superhero on social media. Start building your athlete-driven campaign today.

Let’s rethink what we’re trying to accomplish with software in healthcare.

Our objectives should be:

  1. Keeping people healthy by predicting & preventing illness
  2. Providing the best diagnosis & treatment possible
  3. Eliminating medical errors
  4. Enabling rational, fair, & affordable prices

All of this with minimal costs & friction to everyone involved.

However, no software, payment system, or business model is designed for that experience.

As Peter Thiel says, “It's time to go from Zero to One.”

It's time to build something new -- an epic moonshot. Let's build a Health Operating System.

What is a HealthOS?

Fundamentally, an operating system is a set of instructions that optimizes the components of a larger system. The instructions can be written in bits (computer code), atoms (genetic code), or beliefs (money & law). The HealthOS applies them all to coordinate:

  1. Health Needs
  2. Health Solutions
  3. Data
  4. Money

While there are many good open source EHRs in existence, the HealthOS starts with a fresh canvas by removing constraints and considering what will be possible with future technology.

Pieces of this HealthOS are already being build by talented people all around the world, but without a unified goal. We must come together and leverage the collective power of our open source communities to build software that works for humanity. The following are some projects to tap.

To learn, we've got to feed this OS plenty of health data by connecting wearables, sensors, devices, labs, and hospitals using Mediflux. Using the Standard Health Record, we apply machine learning to the beautiful data we have streaming in by the zettabytes.

Our data is cleaned, organized, and combined with the Open Humans database to be collaboratively used for citizen science research. Even more, you collect dividends when research companies use your data in trials.

Data should tell a unique story. We should visualize out health in one view using hGraph, along with continuous monitoring to be alerted if negative patterns emerge.

When we do need to see a doctor, we utilize WebRTC to connect directly via video or messaging. When physical visits are necessary, interactions will be personal and efficient, leveraging voice, touch, and gestures --no more mouse or keyboard. With dynamically shared information, both you and your care team collaborate intelligently on healthcare issues to minimize medical errors and optimize treatment plans.

Now that we have patients and providers using the OS, we connect everyone on a decentralized marketplace such as Medoplex. Transactions are executed using trusted smart contracts on a federated blockchain network. Each device is a node storing encrypted health records and staking reputation using the Proof of Health protocol. Fraud is eliminated, prices are rational, and payments are instant.

For this to work at scale, all parties need to have skin in the game with aligned incentives. That's why the HealthOS is a digital cooperative owned by everyone who uses it. Healthcare professionals propose & vote on exactly what their software should do, and then work with developers to build it. All decisions are transparent and governed by meritocracy.

Once the HealthOS is launched, network effects kick in to jumpstart the largest open source community in healthcare. With every new user interaction, the HealthOS improves to serve the greater good of humanity.

As the modern successor to the Hippocratic Oath, the Declaration of Geneva states:

“I will share my medical knowledge for the benefit of the patient and the advancement of healthcare.”

As software and medicine become more inseparable, we must view code as medical knowledge. Therefore, we have the moral & ethical obligations to open source our innovations with the world.

It's time we take collective action and join forces to build the infrastructure our future healthcare systems need. By leveraging open source software and communities, we can solve problems in healthcare faster and cheaper. We must align vectors to achieve maximum impact and progress.

So the question is, who wants to help build the open source HealthOS?

    I applied and got denied because they felt I didn’t have enough experience with BitTorrent and private trackers. I have been an active user in a couple of private trackers for years, the longest one for over 12 years… Not enough experience. Right.

    I joined their support channel and asked about it, turns out that when I gave them my profile info for one of the trackers I am active at it was missing my userId in the url. This info wasn’t even available through the tracker. So this apparently means that I don’t have enough experience with private trackers…

    They even answered with a really snotty attitude.

    Hope this doesn’t represent the rest of the comics community.

Sofradir aims to reduce the cost of IR imagers

17 Aug 2007

For decades infrared detector development has drawn on many different types of material. Philippe Tribolet explains why Sofradir has selected HgCdTe for its future plans. These include building a new $12 m fab to cut chip manufacturing costs, which should ultimately lower detector prices and drive up sales of these high-specification imagers.

Infrared imaging systems have several advantages over their optical equivalents. They can operate at night, because image contrast is solely provided by temperature differences, and they can work in poor weather conditions by detecting radiation in particular wavelength bands. Image quality is also less affected by reflections from sunlight and emission from bright light sources, such as car headlights, particularly when you select a detection band in the 8–12 µm range.

As a result, these semiconductor-based imagers are suitable for a wide variety of everyday uses. However, cost has limited their deployment to military and space applications, where they are predominantly used for surveillance and targeting of hot objects, such as rockets and vehicle motors.

The military's use of these detectors began in the 1970s with first-generation cameras featuring cooled, small linear arrays of photodetectors coupled to a complex two-dimensional (2D) scanning system. By the 1980s, second-generation versions, which included a read-out integrated circuit for signal pre-processing and multiplexing on the focal plane, had been built in research labs. These were then commercialized in the early 1990s.

The progression to second-generation detectors opened the way for high-resolution scanned arrays featuring time delay and integration, and high-resolution 2D arrays with signal processing on the focal plane. Cooled "staring" 2D arrays operating in the medium- and long-wavelength infrared (IR) bands were also developed, which have been dubbed "2.5-generation" IR detectors. These imagers, which were launched commercially in the late 1990s, have arrays with typically 320 × 256 or 640 × 512 pixels, and are suitable for applications such as missile detection. The improved resolution and performance of all these second-generation detectors have doubled the effective range for target acquisition, and enabled identification of enemy vehicles at night through smoke and dust at distances of 6 km and more.

These various generations of IR imagers have been fabricated with a variety of technologies, and include detector arrays made from HgCdTe, InSb, InGaAs and GaAs quantum wells (see figure 1). Each of these detectors has particular merits, and selection is application specific.

The performance of these detectors can be evaluated by their ability to distinguish a small target from an IR background with a similar temperature. Military, security and surveillance applications use this as a test and rate the imagers' performance in terms of detection or identification range, and its ability to deal with adverse weather.

The highest class of detectors can image objects at distances of 10 km or more, depending on atmospheric conditions and altitude, and are suitable for many different applications. These include missile guidance and tracking, missile warning, and carrying out reconnaissance and climate observations. Comparable detectors with an operating range of 6–10 km can also be used for scientific applications, including analysis of relatively weak signals for gas spectroscopy.

The detectors that operate over these ranges require cooling and are predominantly based on HgCdTe and InSb chips. HgCdTe has several advantages, including a sensitivity over a spectral range stretching from visible wavelengths to 18 µm, a high quantum efficiency coupled to a high signal-to-noise ratio, and a relatively high operating temperature that reduces the cost of the associated cooler. Liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) has been used for many years to produce these chips, but single- and dual-band chips covering short-wave (1–3 µm) and medium-wave (3–5 µm) IR bands can now be produced in large volumes and at low costs using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

By comparison, InSb is only sensitive in the medium-wave IR band. Technological limitations also hinder improvements in operating temperature and very small pixel sizes, making this material unsuitable for the most demanding applications. Alternative technologies include quantum-well IR photodetectors (QWIPs), which can be used for long-range detection (8–12 µm) but have slow frame rates and require lower operating temperatures.

Another class of detectors are those with a 2–6 km detection range. These can serve civilian needs such as fire surveillance and security applications such as police surveillance and tracking. Cooling the detector is mandatory in all of these applications. In some cases the selection of a very high-performance detector can actually cut the overall system cost, as this can reduce the size of the optics, simplify the signal processing and ease reliability constraints.

The candidates for providing IR detection over these distances are similar to those for the longer ranges. However, QWIPs operating in the IR long-wavelength band can offer good value for money if their limited efficiency and relatively high dark current can be tolerated. InGaAs cameras operating at shorter wavelengths are also competitive, but they can suffer from read-out circuit noise when the input signal is low, and they cannot detect beyond 1.9 µm.

The final class of detectors are those used for imaging objects at distances between tens of metres and 2 km. They can also serve civilian applications, such as building inspection, industrial process control and automotive driving enhancement. Other uses will emerge as the cost of these detectors fall. Uncooled thermal detectors, such as microbolometers, which include imagers based on amorphous silicon that is fully compatible with CMOS silicon technologies, offer the best value for money and are best suited to these tasks.

The French legacy
Many of these different types of chip-based detectors have been commercialized in France. Currently, over 500 people are employed for the research, advancement and manufacture of these devices in the Grenoble area, making this region a major global player.

The research has been led by the national research and development centre CEA-Leti, which started developing IR detectors in the 1970s. This knowledge has been transferred to Sofradir, which is headquartered in Chatenay-Malabry and has production facilities in Veurey-Voroize. The research from CEA-Leti has been used in our production of second- and 2.5-generation detectors, which we have been manufacturing for over 13 years, and the amorphous silicon microbolometers that we have been building since 2003 through our subsidiary, ULIS. QWIPs developed at Thales Research and Technologies, France, are also being mass-produced in co-operation with us.

Today, we manufacture thousands of cooled IR detectors, alongside tens of thousands of uncooled detectors through ULIS. In addition, we are currently building a new €9 m MBE fab for HgCdTe chip production, which will scale up our production from 2 to 4 inch material. When installation is completed in summer 2008, the increases in manufacturing volumes and efficiencies will reduce our production costs and also enable us to make larger chips. In addition, the lower costs should have an effect on the price of the longer-range detectors that will employ our chips and should drive an increase in sales of this type of imager. One-third of the cost of an IR detector is associated with the focal-plane array (FPA), so lower chip manufacturing costs can have a big impact on the price of the overall system.

Third-generation detectors
Our new fab will be used to mass-produce third-generation detectors that have been developed in-house. These devices provide multicolour operation, have large FPAs with homogenous active layers, can resolve more image detail and operate more effectively in poor weather.

The chips will be produced by MBE, a technique capable of growing the multiple layers required by multicolour detectors on a wide variety of large-diameter substrates. This replaces our current growth technique used for production, LPE, which is carried out on lattice-matched CdZnTe substrates. These substrates are only available in small sizes, so many fabs are now developing silicon or GaAs platforms that offer low cost and a compatibility with the thermo-mechanical characteristics of the read-out circuit. In France, however, germanium has been the preferred alternative, because the lower stability of its oxides makes its surface easier to prepare, both ex situ and in situ, prior to MBE growth.

The MBE process on germanium (211) was demonstrated several years ago at CEA-Leti, and is suitable for making larger arrays. This substrate is already available in 4 inch and larger versions, which can be used to make the high-quality HgCdTe films needed for 2D short-wavelength and medium-wavelength IR arrays. We plan to start mass-producing both of these types of arrays during summer 2008, using two MBE reactors with 1 × 4 and 3 × 4 inch capacities. The switch to a larger wafer size will give us an advantage over InSb and QWIP manufacturers, who are still using 3 inch substrates for mass production (see figure 2). In addition, it will allow us to affordably fabricate 1280 × 1024 pixel IR FPAs with a 15 µm pixel pitch that will provide a greater image identification capability than detectors with fewer pixels.

We are also continuing to improve our third-generation detectors, so that manufacturing costs can be cut and selling prices reduced. In particular, we are focusing on the development of smaller pixel pitches and larger formats, and improving the performance of our avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and multicolour detectors. Our HgCdTe APDs are a unique design based on electron-impact ionization, and deliver exceptional detection. These electron-initiated APDs deliver a thousandfold multiplication gain at an inverse bias of only 10 V. The high gain at low bias, combined with a low noise factor, makes these APDs particularly well suited for integration in the latest FPAs. These are ideal for active laser-based imaging, but they can also serve many passive imaging applications.

 +There are actually a few prevalent inform tale indications that signify dermatitis. Probably the most [[http://articles.al.lv/article.php?id=414424|?http://www.amazon.com/BIOSKINBALM-Dermatitis-Eczema-Relief-Cream/dp/B007C93H8E/]]  popular signal is that the stricken place commonly appears to be like purple. These pink blotches on skin is often flat or elevated, depending within the amount of skin irritation. A further recurrent sign is the fact that the impacted place feels warmer than unaffected spots. 3rd, the skin is possibly distressing or itchy during the affected spot. For those who have a minimum of two and even all 3 of such symptoms - a heat and tingly feeling around the affected space, redness in the skin, and itching or agony - then you certainly might use a pores and skin issue called dermatitis. And there is no other strategy to regulate it than having a dermatitis remedy.
 +Dermatitis can be easily outlined since the swelling or inflammation with the pores and skin considering the fact that "derma" refers to skin and "itis" usually means that there is irritation. Over a much more comprehensive viewpoint, dermatitis may be the inflammation of at the very least certainly one of the three pores and skin layers. Whether it is the epidermis, the dermis, or the subcutaneous layer that's irritated, it truly is still viewed as a kind of dermatitis.
 +As to how this skin discomfort happens, nobody appreciates. Not even the very best dermatologists have a concrete and comprehensive clarification concerning why it takes place. On the other hand, there are a couple of factors identified to trigger this kind of skin discomfort. Between them are food stuff, poor physical situation, and immediate connection with a pores and skin irritant. Nonetheless, the reasons for dermatitis are certainly not equivalent amid anyone that has eczema. Whilst a number of people may hold the exact same exact elements which induce their dermatitis, this is simply not usually the situation for everyone who may have dermatitis. Every human being - even individuals with dermatitis - remains exclusive and may almost certainly have distinct dermatitis brings about when compared with some others.
 +Dermatitis is actually a persistent skin dysfunction. By definition, any persistent dysfunction persists for more than 6 months and constantly recurs occasionally. As for dermatitis, it doesn't just reappear away from the blue. It has being triggered ahead of it is going to reoccur. Since dermatitis is actually a serious issue, it can't be treated or fixed. Somebody who may have dermatitis will normally have dermatitis right until his very last breath. Its indicators is usually handled though. Until finally your last breath, the one thing you can do is handle associated indications of dermatitis having a dermatitis cure.
 +A successful dermatitis remedy gets rid of all of the symptoms of dermatitis. It could be prescribed by a skin doctor following becoming identified or it can be acquired over-the-counter at local drug merchants and major grocery chains. It's also possibly organic or chemically crafted in laboratories of pharmaceutical corporations. Some dermatitis cures are used topically or specifically about the pores and skin floor, and there are also some that happen to be ingested by mouth.
 +Before deciding on a dermatitis treatment to take care of your signs, you will need to think about the diploma of severity of the flare-up. When your pores and skin dermatitis is extreme and it is "generalized" or popular that they are too significantly to deal with having a topical dermatitis product, then it is far better to inquire to get a prescription medicine from a dermatologist. A skin doctor typically prescribes oral drugs in these kinds of extreme circumstances. Nonetheless, if your rashes only demonstrate up on confined parts of the human body, then you can opt for between acquiring on your own checked and shopping for an OTC dermatitis product even without having prescription.
 +A dermatitis solution will be the only hope of men and women with dermatitis. It relieves them from the classical signs of dermatitis which contain the appearance of purple blotches on pores and skin and connected itching, pain, along with a heat sensation. It's only using the usage of a successful treatment can a person be relieved of such symptoms.

Double Up (oz11737)

Double Up (oz11737) by Alec Barber from RCME 1985 - plan thumbnail

About this Plan

Double Up (previously: Mystery Biplane). Radio control sport model for .10 engine.

Quote: "A mystery for Outerzone visitors to solve! I've called it 'Mystery Bipe' because the plan, though obviously a magazine free plan from the 1980s era, carries no model name, designer accreditation or publisher! Given to me as part of a stack of free plans minus their source magazines back in the '80s it's been a mystery to me for more then 30 years! Perhaps someone out there will recognize it [edit: fixed now]... As a truly simple and rugged biplane model that would take a modern out-runner easily I think it's worth saving for posterity!"

Note the plan shows optional monoplane / biplane layout.

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Update 22/11/2019: Added article, thanks to KLH.

Quote: "Double Up. Your pull-out plan features Alec Barber's ingenious Mono/Biplane convertible for .10 engines and three function radio.

THE IDEA for this model came about one day last year when I was attempting to sort the good bits from the rubbish in my workshop. Among the 'Good grief I had forgotten where that was!' I found an OS10FSR, an RCM&E receiver and two servos. Rather than let them sink out of sight again I was determined to do something with them. After a deal of doodling I came up with a handy little low-wing monoplane which can quickly be turned into a fun flying biplane.

Construction: 'Keep it simple and light' was my motto and even though there appears to be more spaces than woodwork in both the wing and fuselage I would not think it possible to break anything in flight.

The Fuselage: The width and depth was governed by the size of my servos and one of the rather nice rectangular Slec tanks. Cut the sides from evenly matched yein sheet and the doublers from 1/32 ply. Before gluing the doublers to the sides, I cut slots in them to correspond with the ends of the servo rails, an assembly which when fitted together gives a very positive fixing and the rails act as a former in the centre of the fuselage.

Assembly of the six fuselage components is simplicity itself. Build this upside down over the plan, the sides are glued to the top deck and the servo rails fitted. The front former. pre-drilled for fuel lines, is epoxied in place followed by the 1/4 in sheet under the tank. Finally, the cross grain 1/8 sheet is fitted to the rear of the fuselage. A tip here, in order to keep the sides perpendicular toward the tail, is to cut a false former the size of the opening at the rear of the fuselage and tack glue it in place while the rear sheeting is setting. This can later be knocked out to make way for the elevator push-rod.

Wings: Again, simplicity is the keynote. There are only two sizes of rib, the centre section being sheeted. The ribs are symmetrical and to ease building are flat from the rear of the spars on both top and bottom.

Build each half of the wings separately setting up the root ribs to the angle dictated by the template. The strength of the wing lies in 1/16 in vertical grain balsa glued between the spars which should also be a good fit between the ribs. If any gaps show around these webs discard the piece and cut another. The wing halves are joined with a 1/16 ply dihedral brace and in the case of the lower wing with the undercarriage block as well. The centre section ribs need to be cut away to fit around this. Wing-tips are 1/8 sheet braced on both sides with triangular sheet off-cuts. Finally, blunt the leading edge of the wing with a few strokes of a razor plane and a light sanding.

Tailplane Fin and Rudder: Try to use light but stiff balsa and build up the tailplane over the plan. The fin is all sheet and is glued vertically into a slot cut into the fuselage top deck. Central surfaces are also cut from sheet material and hinged to the tailplane and fin. The method of hinging can be by mylar strip, leaf and pin, or in the case of the elevator by a continuous Solarfilm strip.

There now remains a thing between the wings: I suppose a proper name for it is top wing support. The credit for building this out of ply must go to Don Dewey who designed the Wayfarer (oz5908) biplane - I built one two years ago and am still flying it. Cut two supports making sure they conform exactly to the plan in shape. The ply used should have at least five laminations for rigidity. Avoid, like the plague, three ply, particularly the sort that has a core of a consistency akin to 'Weetabix'. If 'Double-Up' is used as a biplane the supports are fitted to the outside of the fuselage, held by screws into scrap ply at the top, and prevented from flapping about at the bottom by the lower wing retaining bands.

Radio and Finishing: If you have fitted the servos where I have then the only place left for the battery and receiver is between them and at the rear of the tank. Battery nearest the tank.

In order to keep the weight down I covered my model in Solarfilm. Before anybody says this adds no strength to the model, particularly the wings, I can only say nothing I have done to the model while flying has caused a failure. The wing I stood on accidentally is another story.

Flying: Performance, as might be expected, is different in the two configurations. As a low-wing monoplane it is quite quick and for a small model appears very smooth through the manoeuvres. Rolls are fairly straight for a rudder/elevator model.

As a biplane, the speed goes down, the lift goes up, a fair amount of down trim being required to kill this. The model can be made to wheel and whirl in the manner of a WWI fighter.

On most grass fields the wheels fitted to the low-wing are too small so I suggest, in the mono wing version, the top wing is fitted under fuselage and hand-launches are used. As a biplane it looks odd without wheels.

Finally, as I write this it has occurred to me that maybe I have got the name wrong. It should be possible, I think, to fly it as a parasol wing monoplane as a third alternative. So 'Trio' or 'Triplet' maybe - I leave that to you!"

I'm pretty sure that you will have more feedback than this one but after seeing the plan listed this morning as 'a mystery ship' prompted me to check a plan I bought some time ago, it's called 'Double Up' and is shown as being designed by Alec Barber and seems to be identical!
JWaters - 22/11/2019
Outstanding, that was very fast! Thanks to KLH, JWaters and Pit, have confirmed the ID of this one now.

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.

Evangelistic Fervor is Caught More Than Taught

Have you signed up to receive Anthony Wood’s mission updates? Dr. Wood is the lead evangelist and assistant director at River City Ministry – a work serving the poor in homeless in North Little Rock, AR.

Here’s the latest update Anthony sent out to supporters:

He came to RCM with barely any knowledge or understanding of the culture of poverty. He brought his sweet wife and small child. He came to give himself first to You, and second, to answer Your call on his life to be a missionary in this place.

He’d been pretty active in short term missions, served as a youth minister in a mid-sized church, had some reaching out, but his evangelistic opportunities and experience had been sparse at best. He was lucky to get to immerse the kids in his youth group. It’s not because of any lack of desire to assist You in saving souls, just mostly because he’s not been in an environment where leading the lost to You has been a priority. That’s changed for Chase, over the past 18 months.

Chase loves people, and his heart leads him to serve and shepherd hurting souls. His natural giftedness is pastoral, so meeting new people and striking up a conversation that would lead to the important questions of one becoming a Christian, well, it wasn’t easy for him. That was, at first.

Sharing the Good News in one’s own culture is not easy, but with the added dimension of crossing into a different culture, a new language has to be learned. In this case, he had to learn the culture of poverty and homelessness. And let me tell you, after serving in this culture over twenty years now, just because we both speak English, does not mean we speak the same language.

So, throughout his apprenticeship, Chase has consistently given himself to learning how to communicate in this foreign culture. It should prove to help him as he and his family travel to bring Jesus to Peru in a year or two from now.

And though it’s not been without ups and downs, difficulties in communication, his having to learn a new language of poverty, and overcoming challenges of personal growth, Your man Chase has assisted You in leading 63 souls to the waters of baptism and 75 to be restored back to You. Makes You pretty happy, huh, Lord?

Our Executive Director, Jim Woodell, said it well. “Chase is the perfect example of a person who didn’t have the gift of evangelism, but gave himself to learning, and has become very effective in leading the lost to Jesus.”

I wonder if it’s not so much that Chase didn’t have the gift of evangelism as it has been he’s in an environment in which it can be released.

Lord, You sent this man to RCM, and he has become a harvester of souls in Your vineyard. Thank you.

… Ask the Lord of the harvest … to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:38, NIV

Blessings, Anthony Wood
Assistant Director
River City Ministry

Had Chase developed much evangelistic skill before coming to RCM? According to Anthony’s update, no.

But after being mentored and trained for a while in an environment where disciplemaking was an important priority, Chase blossomed (and I continue to hear good things about him from different people – this update is just the latest).

Chase’s experience adds to the pile of evidence already before us supporting the argument that evangelistic fervor and skill are things that are caught more so than taught.

What I mean: if one seeks to become a skilled disciplemaker, one should seek to learn in an environment where disciplemaking is: 1) a top priority, and 2) actually happening.

One is not likely to learn in an environment where it is not important or not happening. Unfortunately that describes the environment provided by most churches, ministries, and Bible college/seminaries.

What needs to change in order for more ministers entering the field to get the kind of training Chase has received?

Partner points

I used to think that it was lame for women to know all about what their husbands were into. I thought is smacked of male-dominated relationships. You’re not actually into model trains/ham radios/historical recreations/bonsai, so why are you talking about it, and using the pronoun ‘we’ even though we’re the only two people in the room?

Anyway, I’ve recently realized that being involved in your partner’s interests means more to share and enjoy together. I knew this, of course, but today I was able to use what I’ve learned from Jason’s L33T skills and start-up knowhow when applying for a sweet sweet job (that I won’t be talking about until I know if I’m actually in the running). Then I read an email from a favorite aunt, and allofasudden it hit me that the interest and knowledge she’s gained from being married to a conifer expert has made her an expert too, and it’s a cool, neat thing. Now that I think about it, I know that there’s no way she’d get this into conifers if she didn’t already have an interest. Having a partner super-into it just makes it more likely that you’ll learn more.

So I think there should be some sort of nomenclature for this, a rating of how much you know about architecture, or dancing, or cattle, or programming because you spend your free time with someone who’s interested in it too. Partner points? Personal interest rating?

I’d say I have a healthy knowledge of Internet start-ups just by being with my partner, and I want to be able to convey that in a cover letter without sounding too wifey.

And now maybe I can find a way to get Jason knitting.

(Disclaimer: Jason has knit a potholder, in 2003 I think, but I think giving him some circular needles and letting him knit a hat would be more effective.)

(Disclaimer disclaimer: Jason knit said potholder when we first met, when doing things like knitting and playing Super Mario Sunshine are important to culling a good relationship.)

  1. I was trying to complain to Zack yesterday, telling him that I do things like watch politics now, but that he doesn’t watch my stuff. He retorted that there’s no way he would have watched the last five seasons of “American Idol” if it weren’t for me. So I guess that river flows both ways. 🙂

    And, as a result of our transfusion of interests, I know what a superdelegate is and he knows who Sanjaya is. Yay for knowledge.

  2. Knowledge by association will grant you points in the job search process, I would think, but not nearly as many as knowledge gained by first-hand account.

    If this is a major part of the job, you might mention you have a ‘working knowledge’ of the topic. And I’d say you can go ahead and cite your source. Making it somewhat clear that you have an interest in the topic, and looky here, my guy knows this thing inside and out and can teach me anything I might need to know.

    As with all things ‘job application’, there’s a thin red line and a huge gray area surrounding ‘qualifications’.

    If this topic is just one part of many within the job I don’t think I’d mention anything about it in the cover letter, let it come up in subsequent phone interviews, emails, personal interviews, etc. But that’s just my 2 cents which we know doesn’t mean much.

    Good luck!

  3. I now know more than I EVER wanted to about VoIP engineering and telecommunications because not only do Rory and I talk about it, but he also works from home, so if I’m here, I actually witness it happening.

    I suppose Rory has learned something about PHR certification, OFCCP, department of labor regulations and employment law too.

    It’s now a mad-dash to see which one of us actually uses our newly found knowledge first.

This past year, I’ve started GMing a custom campaign based on a homebrew system and set in a custom world.  I’m testing out a lot of ideas at the same time and probably writing about how various ideas work (or don’t) in this blog.

The World of the Five Gods was inspired by Lois McMaster’s Bujold’s series.  I’ve taken considerable liberty with her initial idea though, and have created an ever-expanding World Anvil site of this setting, including maps, NPCs, political information, customs, songs, etc.

Age of Change is a homebrew campaign that starts at level 1 and hopefully will bring the players through epic level.  I’m keeping session notes and other information on the linked campaign manager.

When I made adventures, I really overprepare.  Hoping to not let it go to waste, I’m slowly converting the material I produce to use in my own games to something others can use as premade adventures in theirs.  Here’s the first:

Session 1: Samhain at Easthome is a post I made discussing how the session went.

GM Tools

  • Session Tools is a little homemade app that includes an NPC Stat generator (my husband and I both GM using the same balancing system, so when we choose NPCs, we just use the app to determine what numbers).  It also has dice rollers for each encounter.  I started with it showing a lot more info, but in practice, I found I wanted most of the information printed on paper, and just wanted to roll the damage dice and the power recharge rolls on the apps.

6 Due Process and Transparency Requirements for Investigating Competition Cases in Taiwan

Andy C. M. Chen

From: Antitrust Procedural Fairness

D. Daniel Sokol, Andrew T. Guzman

From: Oxford Competition Law (http://oxcat.ouplaw.com). (c) Oxford University Press, 2015. All Rights Reserved.date: 07 August 2020

Fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms (FRAND) — Price transparency — Unfair trading conditions — Basic principles of competition law — Enforcement and procedure — Jurisdictions

This chapter uses the enforcement experience of Taiwan to illustrate how due process and transparency requirements are implemented in competition. Part I introduces the regulatory framework for due process and transparency requirements in Taiwan. Part II describes how these requirements are implemented during investigation procedures for competition cases. Part III highlights the problems associated with implementation in practice. Part IV examines the likely causes for these problems and offers preliminary thoughts on how these problems should be addressed, and Part V concludes. As a mature jurisdiction of competition law in Asia, the fundamental principles and rules honoured by other experienced jurisdictions in this regard have already been in existence in both the general legislations on administrative investigations and sanctions, as well as in the specific competition legislations in Taiwan. However, the implementation of these provisions can be limited by the provisos that authorize the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission the discretion to deny due process or transparency requests from investigated parties.

Injury to the brain and spinal cord after cardiac surgery represents a significant cause of morbidity and disability. Neurological complications increase the length of ICU and hospital stay, and reduce the likelihood of return to independent living. Minor neurological complications are very common and often go undiagnosed. It is now recognized that transient and early postoperative problems such as confusion, agitation, and delirium – previously considered self-limiting nuisances – are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, a decline in cognitive function in the early postoperative period is predictive of late (five-year) cognitive decline....

Teresa Giudice surrenders, starts her first day in prison

Life as Teresa Giudice knows it has officially come to an end.

In the early morning hours of Monday, Jan. 5, the famed table-flipping “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 42, entered a minimum-security prison in Danbury, Conn., to begin serving a 15-month sentence, according to NJ.com.

The television star pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud and failure to pay taxes in March.

Despite a bleak future wearing a khaki uniform, Giudice is well prepared for her prison stint, her former crisis manager Wendy Feldman tells Page Six, detailing the mother of four’s first day inside.

“You must bring your driver’s license,” explained the 50-year-old prison expert. “You’re allowed to bring your wedding ring (a plain metal band). A religious necklace. Legal paperwork if you have any. Your list of medications. Pictures. And that’s it.”

The usually glamorous and over-the-top Bravo fixture will be allowed makeup at the facility made famous by the Netflix show “Orange Is the New Black.” However, Giudice will have to part ways with some of her extensions.

Feldman, who served time behind bars herself, says that upon entering, Giudice will be booked again and another photo, which will never be released, will be taken.

“A doctor will do a very minor Q&A and go over any other medications and things she’s gonna need while she’s there,” explained Feldman. “They do not really hand out medications there unless you need blood pressure things. Other than that, you’re out of luck.”

Joe and Teresa GiudiceSplash News

From there, Giudice will perform a number of uncomfortable acts. “They’ll make her pee in a cup,” Feldman detailed. “They will strip-search her. They will make her cough and squat to make sure she’s not holding contraband.”

“That’s sort of a humiliating experience,” Feldman emphasized. “But I have talked to her about that. I tell everybody that last four seconds is no big deal.”

Giudice will be given a housing assignment in a cubicle, a far cry from her $4 million Montville, New Jersey, mansion. The reality TV fixture’s first few days will be busy with orientation, as well as receiving a job assignment.

According to Feldman’s blog, “Notes from an Insider,” Giudice will not be given an opportunity to choose her job. “You do not get to decide unless you have a college degree and can be useful teaching. Teresa does not,” she writes. “So likely jobs will be dishes, bathrooms etc. … Factory jobs are rare.”

When asked if Giudice’s famous hot-head persona will cause her trouble behind bars, Feldman feels confident that it won’t. “If the women push her buttons, they wouldn’t do it immediately,” Feldman told Page Six, noting that punishments can result in loss of privileges for the inmates involved. “If Teresa wants to start trouble, that’ll be up to Teresa. But the other women usually don’t … the behavior in there is usually pretty good.”

Visitation will be Giudice’s only opportunity to see her husband of 15 years, Joe, 42, who was sentenced to 41 months behind bars and faces possible deportation, and four young daughters: Gia, 13, Gabrielle, 10, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5.

“I believe she’ll have her children visit her and there’s a lot of controversy about that,” said Feldman, explaining that visitation is restricted to Saturday and Sunday, including federal holidays, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. “A lot of people have said that it’s unfair to the children. I disagree. I think that it’s a very long time to be away from children. I think the children will benefit from visiting her and will learn from it. The children will be fine.”

Visitation isn’t nearly as uncomfortable as some make it out to be. “There will be no glass,” explained Feldman, who said visitors will be allowed within the first two weeks. “The children can sit on her lap. It’s not scary for them. I know this sounds odd to people, it will be a different environment and the first time will be very sad, but it’s better than not seeing her. I hope that they do see her. I think that they will absolutely want to see her and she will want to see them.”

Giudice’s prison term will be an opportunity to change her life. However, Feldman warns it’s completely up to the inmate.

“When she’s laying on the top bunk of a metal bed and she digs in her soul and goes, ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ and she’s still blaming other people, there’s no likelihood of it changing,” Feldman insisted. “If she goes, ‘Wow, I made some mistakes and I’m going to make it right,’ then she can change.”

A request for comment from Giudice’s rep was not immediately returned.

‘Scandal’ star Katie Lowes and Adam Shapiro welcome their first baby

Olivia Pope & Associates have a brand new gladiator.

“Scandal” actress Katie Lowes and her husband, Adam Shapiro, announced the birth of their first baby Wednesday night.

“Baby’s first #Scandal Thursday!” Lowes, 36, wrote alongside a photo of her newborn son’s feet. “@shappyshaps and I are thrilled to welcome Albee Shapiro to our family! We’re happy & healthy!”

Shapiro reposted the photo, captioning it, “I ❤ Albee. And I can’t even begin to say how much I ❤ @ktqlowes.”

Lowes — who wed Shapiro in 2012 — revealed she was expecting on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in May.

“We have zero names. My husband’s a huge basketball fan, so for years we’ve been calling it LeBron,” she said at the time. “When people come over the house, there’s a little bedroom next to our room, and we’ll say like, ‘Someday this is gonna be LeBron or LeBrona’s room!'”

The final season of the hit Shonda Rhimes show premieres on Thursday.

J-Rod eyeing tallest residential building in Western Hemisphere

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have upped their home-hunting game.

The couple has been circling an apartment at 432 Park Ave., the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere.

“They have been at the building four times,” a broker said.

One unit they are looking at is a four-bedroom, half-floor unit on a high floor, another broker told The Post.

The building makes sense for the famous couple: Lopez has moved her 9-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony to a Catholic school on the Upper East Side.

“Living in Midtown would be much more convenient for them,” a source said. “But it is far from a done deal — there is no contract out on the apartment yet.”

Still, the home hunt is so serious that Lopez has already listed her NoMad penthouse for $27 million.

There would appear to be a number of possibilities at 432 Park: A four-bedroom unit on the 56th floor is on the market as a $69,500-a-month rental.  There’s also an $82 million penthouse on the 95th floor that comes with six bedrooms. If that price is too high, there’s a $40.5 million three-bedroom available on the 87th floor, according to Streeteasy.com.

The 96-story building rises to a height of 1,396 feet. It was designed by architect Rafael Vinoly.
