 Banner_eye care 2012

The Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology is launching the Asia-Pacific Eye Care Week, an initiative to raise public awareness about eye care and eye health in the region, in the first week of January 2012 (i.e. January 2 – 8, 2012). To that end,  member societies are invited to organize various activities, which may include:

  • Organize a screening event in your local institute / hospital
  • Give lectures to patient support groups / the general public
  • Participate in radio and TV shows to talk about any eye diseases and to answer questions
  • Contact newspapers to publish information about eye care, eye health and/or any eye diseases

What’s going on in the Asia-Pacific region?

In Hong Kong, China …

With the generous support of the Asia-Pacific Glaucoma Society, the Asia-Pacific Society of Eye Genetics, the Asia-Pacific Society of ocular oncology and pathology, the Asia-Pacific Strabismus and Paediatric Ophthalmology Society, as well as the Asia-Pacific Vitreal-retina Society, the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology organized its first Asia-Pacific Eye Care Week from January 2 – 8, 2012. Five live radio shows on common eye diseases were broadcast on five Mondays running from December 2011 to January 2012. Details of the talk are listed as follows:

  • Age-related macular degeneration and common retinal diseases – by Dr David Liu (APVRS)
  • Squint, amblyopia, and common eye diseases in children – by Dr Flora Lau (APSPOS)
  • Glaucoma – who is at risk? – by Prof Clement Tham (APGS)
  • Myopia and other common inheritable diseases of the eye – by Prof Calvin Pang (APSEG)
  • Elimination of preventable blindness in Hong Kong, China & China – by Prof Dennis Lam (APAO)

Participating member societies includes the Cambodian Ophthalmological Society, the Ophthalmological Society of Chinese Taipei, the Indonesian Ophthalmologists Association, the Japanese Ophthalmological Society, the Korean Ophthalmological Society and the Nepal Ophthalmic Society.

On the APAO Eye Screening Day held on January 8th, 2012 in Hong Kong, 230 patients with myopia had turned up to have their eyes examined. Examinations to be conducted include:

  • Best corrected visual acuity
  • Non-contact tonometry
  • Slit lamp examination and dilated fundoscopy

It turned out that a total of 64 individuals needed referral, two of which even needed urgent ophthalmological attention as they had previously unknown retinal tears with risk of retinal detachment. Seventy percent (N = 161) of the participants aged 50 or above and 24 of them had retinal or macular problems, while 18 were glaucoma suspects. Ten were found to have cataract.

Finally, with the help of St. James’ Settlement, a local charitable organization, 200 underprivileged senior citizens have been recruited to enjoy free cataract surgery sponsored by One Foundation, which was founded by Mr. Jet Li, an international movie star and a Chinese martial artist. The first batch of patients had already had surgical treatment in the first week of January. They shared with the general public their joy of being able to see again during the kick-off ceremony of free cataract surgery program in which Mr. Jet Li had attended as an officiating guest. Mr. Jet Li said he was well aware of the prevalence cataract blindness in both Hong Kong and mainland China and he was glad that he could have the chance to help the visually impaired in Hong Kong.

What works

Game is working with minor stuttering at the beginning of each new case. Added screen resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels.

What does not

Game throws an .NET Framework 3.5 error ("turn on or off").

I used PlayOnLinux for setting up the game. Create a new 32-bit environment using Wine 5.5-staging. Set the OS version to Windows XP. Install the game. Uninstall Wine mono and manually install dotnet35sp1, Social Club and DirextX9 using the provided files, all this via the uninstaller known from winetricks.

In my case I also wanted to use a screen resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels. A convenient solution therefore is offered by Flawless Widescreen, just search for it if wanted. Install the program in the game prefix, start it and follow the instructions for LA Noire.

What was not tested

Played the first few cases and hunted down some criminal scum by now. Did not encounter any problems so far.

The Best Einkorn Challah Bread Recipe EVER!

I love to make bread.  I love the entire process – the mixing, the kneading, the rising, the shaping, and then the delicious smell of baking bread wafting through the entire house!  There’s nothing more delicious than a warm piece of freshly baked bread coated in butter or jam.  I love it!

I also love different kinds of breads for different reasons.  My favorite kind of bread is challah, a Jewish Sabbath bread that is typically braided or knotted.  Challah is beautiful to look at, and with a hint of sweetness from honey, it tastes delicious too!

If you want to try your hand at making bread, here is my very favorite einkorn bread recipe – a braided challah loaf.  It’s SO good! This recipe is made with Einkorn flour, and it’s a bit different to bake with than regular all-purpose flour or bread flour. If you’ve never used Einkorn flour before, BE SURE you read Why We Bake With Einkorn Flour to learn more about this super cool ancient grain that’s perfect for those who have gluten sensitivities.

This post may contain affiliate links, meaning I receive a small commission if you purchase through my links, at no additional cost to you.  Please read my Disclosure for more info.

einkorn baking

Braided Challah Loaf

  • Oven: 350 degrees
  • Makes 2 large loaves

  • Nested mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Plastic wrap
  • Dough cutter
  • Flat cookie sheet
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush
einkorn challah

  • 5 tsps active dry yeast
  • 2 Cups warm water (about 110 degrees)
  • ¾ Cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ Cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 10 Cups Einkorn flour
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsps sesame seeds

  1. Butter a mixing bowl and set aside.  In another bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water.  Whisk until yeast is dissolved and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Add eggs, oil, salt, and 3 cups of the flour to the liquid.  Using a wooden spoon, add in the remaining flour – 1 cup at a time – until mixture holds together.
  3. The dough will be super sticky. Using your hands, knead until the dough comes together into a ball, about 3 or 4 minutes.  Place the dough in the buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size (about 90 minutes).
  4. Punch down dough and let sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  6. After 10 minutes are up, divide dough into 2 even parts using the dough cutter.  Divide each part into 3 pieces, and roll each piece into a 12 inch rope.  Braid three pieces together, then braid the other three pieces together, to form 2 braided loaves.  You can place the braided loaves on a cookie sheet if you want free form loaves, or you can place the braided loaves into buttered bread loaf pans to make sandwich loaves. Cover the loaves and let rise until double, about 30-45 minutes.
  7. Mix beaten egg and water together in a small bowl.  Using the pastry brush, brush both loaves with the water/egg mixture and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  8. Place loaves in the oven and bake for 30-45 minutes until done.  Bread should sound hollow when you tap on the loaf.  Pull bread out of the oven, let cool, and serve.

I learned from.

Swiped out: Why Toronto is burned out on online dating

But even though we can’t go out to meet potential new love interests, that doesn’t mean things have to be put on hold. Of course, you can still use apps like Tinder , Bumble and Hinge to swipe through potential love interests, which has become even more popular as people now have more time on their hands to commit to it. In an attempt to keep things interesting under lockdown, dating apps are stepping up. Many apps are encouraging virtual dating as there’s no chance of physical contact in the near future.

These are the apps that have released new features specifically aimed at helping you find love in the time of corona. You can trust our independent round-ups.

A few months ago at the gym, I watched in awe from my perch atop a stairclimber as a man pedaling away on a stationary bike below opened up Bumble and proceeded to rapid-fire right-swipe every single profile that appeared on his screen. I had long assumed that this guy must not have been blessed with a particularly app-friendly face, but watching that perfectly inoffensive-looking Bumble biker rapid right swipe to startlingly few matches or at least few immediate matches a few years later, it occurred to me that dating apps might just be a more competitive landscape for men than they are for your average, often match- and message-burdened woman.

While a total of 43 percent of online daters in America reported feeling they do not receive enough enough messages on dating apps, broken down by gender, that percentage shot up to 57 percent of men, compared to just 24 percent of women who felt similarly disappointed. And while a mere 8 percent of men reported receiving too many messages, 30 percent of women felt overwhelmed by the volume of suitors flooding their inbox.

Perhaps some of that fatigue comes from the fact that women on dating apps were also much more likely than men to report experiencing harassment on the app, including 46 percent of women who reported receiving unsolicited sexual messages or images from a match. As Pew Research Center associate director of internet and technology research Monica Anderson noted in an interview published alongside the new report, these findings are consistent with larger trends outside the context of online dating: a Center survey found that young women were much more likely than young men to report having ever received unsolicited images of a sexual nature.

I Also Quit

More recently, a plethora of market-minded dating books are coaching singles on how to seal a romantic deal, and dating apps, which have rapidly become the mode du jour for single people to meet each other, make sex and romance even more like shopping. The idea that a population of single people can be analyzed like a market might be useful to some extent to sociologists or economists, but the widespread adoption of it by single people themselves can result in a warped outlook on love.

M oira Weigel , the author of Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating , argues that dating as we know it—single people going out together to restaurants, bars, movies, and other commercial or semicommercial spaces—came about in the late 19th century. What dating does is it takes that process out of the home, out of supervised and mostly noncommercial spaces, to movie theaters and dance halls.

The answers have been condensed and edited for clarity. My friends use them, and their complaints about the quality of matches, the dilemma of too much choice, and the buildup of chatting with someone for weeks only to meet in person and not have chemistry completely put me off of dating apps. Swipe and chat my day away on yet another app? I don’t have time for that! Luckily, I’m an extrovert who’s OK with alone time, so being by myself and striking up conversations is my zone.

Mysterious Circular Structures and a Vanished Culture in the middle of Europe

Here comes some news of a mysterious culture that lived in the middle of Europe in 5500 BC and that has vanished in leaving only little traces.

Indeed four circular trenches of two meters depth and 20 to 130 meters in diameter have been found near the city of Dresden, Germany, in the small suburb of Nickern. They seem to date from this high culture that once lived in the humid valleys close to the Elbe. What was found is surprising and might change our view on prehistoric civilization in the middle of Europe.

Archaeologists discovered an early complex of at least four independent circular ‘places’ around the Gebergrund, a valley that leads a small river to the large Elbe River. The Elbe River at the time, and even now, is unregulated and tends to flood its surrounding meadows. So if you want to live in the area, you won’t settle close to the Elbe, but close to a smaller watercourse, that gives you drinking water, but won’t destroy your village.

It seems that is what people did in prehistoric times. The circular trenches, that have been found, are thought to be dating from 5500-4500 BC and to be connected to the early Linear Pottery culture. In the past 50 years, numerous traces of settlements of this Linear Pottery culture have been found on the southern slopes of the Dresden Elbe Valley district. The sites are very probably connected with about 150 similar sites of this early high culture in Central Europe. According to current knowledge, comparably large constructions were only rebuilt during the Bronze Age about 3000 years later.

A certain hype about this yet unknown civilization has been felt. A problem remains however that no one knows exactly what the ditches were there for. It may be that the circular trenches of Dresden protected a market place or a village, may be, however, they were also of religious importance. No written traces have survived.

One thing is sure. The excavations in Dresden brought to light tools made of stone, bone and wood as well as ceramic figures of people and animals. “The builders of the trenches were farmers who cultivated crops,” said Christoph Heiermann from the Dresden State Office for Archaeology to the Spiegel. “Some of the houses were longer than 30 metres. They lived organized, they weren’t shaggy savages.”

Just as puzzling as the purpose of the ditches seems to the archaeologists their rapid emergence and disappearance. “They were only used in a narrow time corridor of 200 years.” Similarly monumental structures only reappeared thousands of years later. It remains hence yet to be discovered, if the people of this high culture have been driven out of the area or if they just changed behavior or religion. For the moment the mystery is entire…

The Bubble Bursts. Now What?

What’s goin’ on y’all!

As you probably know by now, our 76ers season came to an end last week. I’d be lying if I said it was an easy loss to swallow. I’m endlessly proud of my teammates in Philly, and I can say with certainty that this Orlando experience was historic. As the leading philosophers of our era say, what a time to be alive.

But let’s keep it real.

I’m also a bit relieved. After 45 straight days staring at the same four walls, getting COVID tested daily, seeing my family and friends through a screen, and eating the same room service grilled chicken sandwich (which runs ya $27.74 each time, hah!) … well, I’m free — literally and figuratively. Back to real life, or, whatever real life looks like in these times. Let’s get into that.

I’ll never take the sheets of my own bed, or the green grass in my backyard, or just about ANYTHING for granted ever again. These mornings, even the weeds growing out of my lawn are a welcomed sight. Don’t get me wrong, I’m so grateful for the ability to play basketball professionally. I’m doubly grateful to have a job during a global pandemic. And overall, this was an experience I’ll never forget—it went much better than I thought it would, I gotta admit. The NBA pulled this off brilliantly. They did everything they could to make work easy on us while also acknowledging the transformative fights in economic and racial justice that are going on beyond our “bubble.”

So, the bubble has burst and Orlando is over. What now?

Well, I’m entering this offseason as a free agent for the third time in my NBA career. That’s both very exciting and very scary. These situations often play themselves out beyond my control, but this offseason is super different. COVID is dealing us a hand we’ve never seen before. Honestly, we don’t even know when this next season is going to begin. My job for now is to just get healthy and stay ready.

Typically when I finish a season, I take a few weeks off from working out to decompress and reset, both physically and mentally. I’ll be back in the gym later this month to get back to work. This is a huge next chapter in my life but at the end of the day, that’s still just the business side. On a personal note, it’s all about being a father.

Ari’s now two and a half years old. She’s really starting to come into her own. She’s even grown in noticeable ways since I left for Orlando! She’s opening doors and reaching the light switches on her own now. Ari’s also potty training, which…man, that’s another unique experience, hah. She thinks she’s hilarious and laughs at everything! And she loves being outside—we might have a soccer player on our hands, though she’s looking like quite the comedian.

Like I said before, we don’t know when the next NBA season will begin so this could be the longest amount of time I’ve had at home with my baby girl! This has given me a lot of life and energy. Halloween, Thanksgiving, maybe even Christmas at home and close to Ari? I’m excited! As a basketball player, I’m never home in Indianapolis for these special moments. Not a whole lot has gone right in 2020, but I’m humbled by any extra time with my angel, especially while she’s still young.

But, it’s not without complications. I’m also in the midst of a legal case regarding Ari and her best interests. The goal is to spend as much time with my daughter as fairly and efficiently as possible. If it weren’t for the NBA bubble and the timing of the restart, this legal process would already be well underway. I chose to play and be with my teammates because it’s my job and it ultimately benefits my daughter. I’ve learned as an adult that the best decision is your decision and if YOU make it, you have to live with the result.

Presenting myself as a 26-year-old Black professional athlete in front of anyone, let alone a Judge, can be challenging and hard to relate to. Let’s face it: there’s a certain sense of “privilege” that comes with talking about NBA players, and in certain courtrooms there’s an institutionalized stigma on Black fatherhood. I’m here to prove that wrong. I’m naturally nervous about it all, but that’s because this experience is important to me and my motivations are sincere.

During this time of preparation, I’ve learned more about myself as a man than I ever could have imagined. I’ve learned patience and accountability. I’m getting better at managing and accepting my mental health throughout the ups and downs that life throws at us. Every second with our daughter is precious to me and I know her time with her mother is just as valuable. We as fathers have our own roles to serve and often times, we’re the piece to the puzzle that’s missing.

It has troubled me to fully comprehend some of the statistics: kids without their fathers are twice as likely to drop out of high school than the average American child. Even worse, they are four times more likely to be live in poverty, and seven times more likely to become pregnant as a teenager. Regardless of the temporary outcome of this legal process, I continue to learn permanent lessons on just how vital great fatherhood is. Dads literally save lives. I can’t wait to keep learning more and in turn, pass along what I’ve learned through our mission with the ARI Foundation.

Speaking of the Foundation…we’ve got some real exciting stuff in the pipeline. I’ll keep you updated on the bigger stuff later, but coming up next is our back-to-school giveaway for children and their families, including special gifts from Clarin’s Skincare for both mom & dad. Most parents have had a particularly stressful year so self-care is a necessity.

I’m keeping myself busy right now by working on my house in Indy. Please send your interior design tips my way as I get the crib set up! Gotta make this house a home for both Ari and I! Really, the next few months are about exactly that — strengthening and nurturing the relationship between us. It’s funny because the older I get — and the older Ari gets — the more I learn and understand my relationship with my own father. How it’s made me into who I am and the dad I want to be. But man, that’s a story for another day. How about the next blog post? Stay tuned. Until then, you can find me moving furniture, watching Doc McStuffins and guarding my angel as she guards me. That‘s my bubble, until further notice!

Flowers for the Immaculate Conception (’cause leaves are the new flowers, ed.)

When I was a kid, if there weren’t many flowers to pick for my mom, I would get whole branches of leaves to put in a big pot. I would do the same for Jesus’ good mom. So I will. There’s the above, and the below:

The great dragon, the ancient serpent, the devil and Satan, call it Pachamama and Consort, are not representative of the Immaculate Conception. No.

Pachamama and Consort be damned.

These leaves, the new flowers, are only for the Immaculate Conception, who, with her Divine Son Jesus, also conquered, crushing the heads of all idols just by holding her Son:

    The picture above from the Passion of the Christ is so very moving because of the truth it portrays but some don’t want to see. I say this having just come across the teachings of Father Richard Rohr OFM. What he teaches is shocking but I am glad I came across his strange ideas because they give some insight regarding Pope Francis’ warm attitude toward the Pachamama and his relative neglect of Our Lord and disdain for faithful Catholics. If I am not mistaken, Pope Francis and REPAM use, or like Rohr embrace, eco-theology: a theology based on a “Cosmic Christ”.
    Rohr imagines that there have been two Incarnations, the first (Creation) greater than the second (the Word made flesh), and states that the scientific name for the first Incarnation is the Big Bang and its theological name is “Christ”. Hence, in his view, “[o]rdinary matter is the hiding place for Spirit and thus the very Body of God.” Jesus is thus demoted to “just one human manifestation” of the Universal / Cosmic Christ and even described as one of many gods when Rohr laments that most Christians have “settled for a small tribal god” in place of the Cosmic Christ.
    Rohr also imagines two Bibles and says “[n]ature itself is the primary Bible. The world is the locus of the sacred and provides all the metaphors that the soul needs for its growth.” Moreover, “[w]hen I know that the world around me is both the hiding place and the revelation of God, I can no longer make a significant distinction between the natural and the supernatural, between the holy and the profane.” The Amazon Synod also exhibited this difficulty.
    In his article “The Pachamama Rohrs” Dr Douglas Farrow points out that “dividing Jesus from the Christ is the oldest gnostic trick in the book”, and from Hegel: “Jesus died, Christ arose.” This sounds very much like what Scalfari reported Pope Francis as believing: “[o]nce incarnate, Jesus ceases to be a god and becomes a man, until his death on the cross.” Farrow also points out that “[l]ike the gnosticism of old, this syncretistic pseudo-scientific neo-paganism can be dressed up in Christian language, given Catholic sacramental trappings, and successfully marketed to those who want to be religious without genuine conversion to God through Jesus the Christ”.

    • Father George David Byers

      But I’m not convinced any of them believes what they say since they are afraid to cite Jesus in context: “Do not sin again”, for instance.

I actually laughed out loud when it turns out that this policewoman also speaks French .. not just well, but like a native (didn't specify Parisian or what). She is steely-jawed but feminine, logical yet prone to sniping at her boyfriend when he asks uncomfortable questions that come too close to the truth, honest but respected by all, intelligent but modest, shuns swear words in the precinct, asks bad guys tough questions and they all fall for her, of course... OMG. It reminds me of those 1950s male characters (like the Saint) that were PERFECT. Get real! Oh and she's a sharpshooter as well. I mean, c'mon - the fact that she can take down her ex-SEAL trainer in their sparring sessions is just the tip of the iceberg.
I love competent protagonists but this is just.. ludicrous.

My least favorite book so far, nothing really happening. Too much info about Nikki's Mom's case that I didn't care about. Ending was nothing special. Lacked excitement.

navy_dove_20 Oct 30, 2013

In my opinion, this book is by far the best one. Full of action and surprises.Heat's mother's murderer is revealed but there is more than meets the eye.

I just read Heat Rises non-stop in 20 hours. Waiting for Frozen Heat impatiently.

Most satisfying police story that was meshed in with a reactivated cell of spies from the past ... 4th book on Nikki Heat and her ever loyal squeeze Rook.

Another good Castle tie-in novel. The story concerns itself around Detective Nikki Heat investigating a case with ties to the death of her mother a decade earlier. Alongside her significant other, Jameson Rook, and the various members of her precinct, Heat looks into the past and present cases, making some disturbing discoveries along the way. The pacing of the story is good, the humor is there when it needs to be, the action sequences are well rendered, and the writing comes across as having a perpetual wink to it... which is a good thing.

DanniOcean Oct 29, 2012

A little bit Micky Spillane, a little bit Abbott and Costello, this fourth installment of the Nikki Heat series by fictitious author “Richard Castle” finds the NYPD Detective coming within an inch of catching the person who killed her mother a decade earlier. With her de facto partner (and lover) journalist Jameson Rooke by her side, Nikki has to overcome more obstacles than usual since she gets stonewalled from foes and friends alike, including a new captain who is fonder of seeking the spotlight more than justice, a co-worker more interested in mani-pedis than the beat, a dad who is more haunted by the past than she is, and a few folks who seem friendlier than they really are. Author Richard Castle (whoever he or she is) keeps the pace moving quickly, and of course there are more than a few bones thrown to fans of the Castle TV show (as well as fans of its lead, Nathan Fillion), not that being a fan is a necessary pre-requisite for enjoying the novels. Gimmicky? Sure. But given that the Nikki Heat novels do not even pretend to be great literature, enjoy them for what they are - sweet little adventures set in not-always-glamorous New York (although Frozen Heat has a side-trip to romantic Paris), with lots of tough-talkin’ cops, great dialogue, pathos and humour. There is not much gore, only tantalizing hints at sex, and a smooth unraveling of a well-plotted mystery. Who could ask for anything more on a commute or a cozy autumn evening with the wind howling?

The DuckArt Tantamounter: A midterm exam.

My school expects every class and every studeny to have a midterm exam.  I hate exams. And, without “testable content” in a TAB classroom, a written test was not really a good idea.  I’ve done portfolio reviews and semester learning questionaires before, but with art 1, they’re hit or miss.  I’ve done the “final artwork” thing before too, but I don’t grade artwork normally, so coming up with a rubric for one sucks.

Then it hit me. Why not do the Tantamounter.  I love doing it as an activity with my kids. We hadn’t done it yet.  It was a great way to show off the artistic behaviors and thinking I had hoped they had been learning…problem solving, communicating, collaborating, observation…and of course, it showed they could work in a shared studio as part of their task was to leave the studio as clean as they found it.

It was such a huge success.  I painted our living painting, much to the dismay of many who thought it was going away for the rest of the year, and put it outside our classroom.

Upon entering the room, the class was told they were now the inner workings of the tantamount machine. After a brief slide show, a statement about materials, and time for questions, time began–they had 60 minutes.

Seriously, it was awesome.

I do want to thank my coworkers for bringing such interesting items to be Tantamounted.  I couldn’t have pulled it off without them. I have decided this is my go to midterm from now on.

Artists Observe

This will be the first in a series of several posts about the units and activities my art 1 students are participating in to get a good grasp on the artistic behaviors.  Last year my art 1 students went through an “artistic behaviors bootcamp“.  After going back and looking at what we had done, I felt it was too fast and there wasn’t enough depth to each behavior. We spent a day or two on each behavior, but it was like we just glossed over the behaviors and my students never really understood them.

This year, I am spending a week or more on each behavior.  We are doing activities that focus on the behavior, while building skills in various media and techniques.  I think this will be a better solution.  The students may not be making as many finished artworks at the moment, but that will come when second semester rolls around and the studio is really much more open.

Our first behavior that we focused on was “Artists Observe”.  I found a powerpoint at Ian Sands’ Art of South B page that was perfect for what I wanted students to do.  The week was split into 3 activites.  First students created mindmaps/had class discussions of what they like to observe and what kinds of things artists would look at when observing something. They then moved onto a 3-day sketching activity, where they learned sketching techniques and sketched from life.

Our second activity included learning to shade and a group activity, originating from Melissa Purtee, where students would get into groups of 3-4 and together create a large shaded sphere.  It was very cool to watch the students work together, within the time frame, and figure out how to make values darker and to replicate the sphere I demo’d for them.

Our final activity brought the students in the world of 3-D.  We spent our final day doing the Tantamounter.  Faculty lent items that the students replicated in an artful way.  They had to make decisions, work in small groups, and create a copy of the original item.  They had a 30 minute time limit to complete their piece.

After the weekend, students came back on Monday and spent the day reflecting on our unit.  We went into the hallway and discussed the spheres they had created, looking critically at the spheres and trying to take non-objective judgement out.  They added tiles to their BlendSpace lessons, reflecting on what artists observe means and how the activities we did correlate to the unit idea.  They also reflected on what they learned from our unit activities.

The rest of the week will be spent on building some color drawing skills before we move on to another artistic behavior unit.

It's hard to deny that content management systems – the ever-popular CMSs – are becoming the go-to tool for creating websites. They improve the operation of any pages that contain a large amount of information, initially being chiefly used to publish texts on blogs. Now, each type of CMS can be selected according to the customer's needs - from a system for a large corporation to one that will improve the operation of an online store. As this tool not intended for professionals, it usually has a clear administration panel. This is facilitated by the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, through which the user can directly see the end result.

Currently, each institution has its own website. So, does it follow that a large company always has to use expensive IT solutions? Do the largest institutions in Poland have to have the most expensive CMS systems? How can we find a happy medium between open source and enterprise solutions to optimize costs while meeting customer requirements? That is what this text will cover.

As a company from the industry widely understood to be IT, we have been providing services to the financial sector for a long time. We deal with large organizations on a daily basis. At first glance, corporate websites are not very advanced. In fact, it all depends on the real needs of the company. They can be simple CMSs with the option of content editing, but they can also be extended CMF-based systems linked to other existing systems within the bank, integrated with additional tools supporting company management. These extreme cases require completely different technological solutions. Or do they?

Read also: Using JCR

What are the free solutions available?

Let’s start with the services that you don’t have to pay for. Free systems have an open license, so-called Open Source. This means that we can use them free of charge as the basis of our system, configuring, personalizing and, if necessary, expanding to meet customer requirements. It also means that everyone has access to these solutions, which has advantages and disadvantages. The undeniable advantage is the availability of specialists who know this system and will be able to work on the development and maintenance of the website in the future. This popularity is also a downside, as open solutions are more likely to be attacked by malware specifically designed to exploit security vulnerabilities in these solutions.

So what are the most popular Open Source solutions?

WordPress Logo

Depending on the source it has 60-65 percent market share, including pages based on CMS. This adds up to over 25 million active websites. Immensely popular, it has a huge number of extensions, created by the community around it. This also brings a disadvantage because the extension can be written by anyone, meaning that when building a website based on this CMS, you should check the origin of the system extensions. Maintaining a website based on WordPress CMS requires constant monitoring and implementation of updates to the CMS engine itself and its extensions.

Joomla Logo

The second most popular, with around 5 percent market share. Recently it has been losing popularity, although about 2 million pages are still hosted on this CMS. It requires more effort to implement and manage content but balances with the reward of scalability and back-end integration capability.

Drupal Logo

With 3.4 percent market share and over half a million active pages. Like the previously mentioned solutions, it has a large community around it and offers many extensions and ready-made templates. Implementation is a little more complicated than WordPress but it offers greater stability. If we have the task of building a website that will contain a lot of content with a heavy database then Drupal will meet our requirements.

TYPO3 Logo

Considered a CMF (Content Management Framework) due to its capabilities. It offersof greater control over permissions than other, more popular systems, and offers both stability and scalability. It is used by large international companies.

This is not a complete list of the available solutions – only the most popular ones. Not all of them are suitable for the implementation of large, complex CMSs and not all of them will be acceptable to the security departments of large institutions. In this case, perhaps we should consider turning to large, paid-for solutions that will give us a whole package of ready-made modules and extensions.

What are the advantages of open solutions?

  1. They are free. No license investment required
  2. They gather communities around them providing constant development
  3. There are many extensions to enrich functionality
  4. Hosting costs are low

What are the downsides to open solutions?

  1. Only community support, unless you pay a company providing such services
  2. Security: the openness of the code means that malware can exploit security gaps
  3. Extensions can be written by anyone, so their quality varies
  4. A large increase in extensions and modifications significantly affects the efficiency of the entire solution

What paid-for solutions are available?

Considering paid-for solutions, I have mainly focused on licensed systems that are constantly being developed and offer a wide range of functionalities. Thanks to this, many functions required by the client can be implemented out of the box, without custom development or ordering extensions from the software producer.

AEM (Adobe Experience Manager)

Adobe Experience Manager Logo

A very extensive system that allows you to manage website content and offers great marketing opportunities. In addition to the management of content and marketing resources, it also provides tools to run campaigns in all digital channels. It allows you to create personalized, localized and targeted content and then then monitor and optimize the course of the campaign. It has built-in integration with systems such as Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target and Adobe Campaign. It allows you to run multiple websites dedicated to various markets which is why it is eagerly chosen by very large international companies.

Sitecore Logo

This system stands out from others with extensive monitoring and analysis of customer involvement in published content and activities on social media. Sitecore has been providing web content management and automation of multi-channel marketing since 2001. It provides solutions for clients from small businesses to large enterprises.

Magnolia Logo

The above solutions represent a completely different class of software, functionally exceeding the open source solutions by a long margin – after all, that’s what you pay for. It’s all about the money. But these paid-for solutions do have two disadvantages:

  1. Licenses are expensive. An AEM license can set you back upwards of USD 250 000, depending on the components used. The Sitecore license costs a minimum of USD 40 000, renewable annually. Lower initial costs, but still considerable.
  2. Implementation is costly. The implementation of such complex systems is never simple or cheap and the costs of doing so usually exceed the cost of the license.

A multitude of functions tailored to the client’s needs is just what we would like. However, costs are often an insurmountable barrier. Not every institution in Poland, even a large bank, can or wants to afford such an expensive solution. Does this mean that we are sentenced to Open Source?

A few years ago, this is exactly what we were weighing up in our company. How could we build our CMS implementation offer to satisfy customers with an average budget? When creating solutions for campaign websites, product-only websites or for short-term actions, you can try to use one of the Open Source proposals. But what about larger systems? After researching the market of available solutions, our choice was Magnolia CMS.

Magnolia offers enterprise-class solutions. In Magnolia, everything is organized into internal applications and building pages is simple, thanks to the breakdown of the layout into reusable templates and components. No technical knowledge is required to operate Magnolia. We can organize the content into branches and the publishing process is based on user rights. You can quickly find what you are looking for, re-purpose items, and direct your site visitors to what is most relevant.

Magnolia offers ease of integration with commercial and e-commerce tools (such as the DAM connector for Amazon S3), the ability to synchronize analytical data with Google Analytics, external HR tools, integration for SEO, translation and authentication (LDAP, AD) and much more.

With the many extensions available and a philosophy based on multitasking and performance, we found Magnolia CMS to be suitable for financial institutions and even government websites.

What are the license costs? Well, it depends on the type of license, but the cheapest one is free! The Community Edition is free; only the higher versions are paid-for, but compared to the cost of AEM, it’s only a fraction of the price.

Implementation of the system in standard scope is quite fast. The Magnolia engine is based on Java language, but the implementation of a simple website can be done based mostly on configuration and development work on the front-end. This significantly speeds up the work and gives great opportunities for adaptation to the customer’s needs as well as easy maintenance and development.

For several years, we have been successfully implementing the Magnolia CMS system for our clients. They include the largest banks in Poland, government institutions and international financial start-ups. In retrospect, we believe that our choice was the right one, and we are looking forward to many interesting projects in future based on this CMS.

Choosing a CMS – what should we consider?

  • License cost. The license itself is just the beginning of the expense, will the budget cover it?
  • Support. Is the system still being developed? Can we count on the support of the manufacturer or the community?
  • The popularity of the solution and the technology used. A niche solution may lead us into problems in the future.
  • Scalability. We have to think ahead; every business hopes for development and a business website must be ready for it.
  • Simplicity and intuitiveness. Will the client be able to manage content without possessing any programming skills?
  • Ease of integration. Business nowadays requires many IT services and it is good to be able to combine them.
  • GDPR ready. If our system is to process personal data, it must meet legal requirements.

I recently discovered Barth Hess, and his work got my attention because of my growing interest on this intersections between art and design. He is a young dutch artist that works essencially with human bodies and it’s possibilities of recreations using new and existing materials in a very innovative way. He explores several fields as photography, video and 3D experiences, for the development of these mutant creatures that seems to tap into new fantastic worlds.

From recent experiences we can mention collaborations with prestigious names as Lady Gaga, Palais de Tokyo, Iris Van Herpen and Nick Knight

Besides, Bart Hess has been nominated for de Rotterdam Design Prise, we can vote for him here: http://barthess.nl/vote-for-bart-hess/

Echo is an animation for the National Glassmuseum in Netherlands, created by the artist Bart Hess. Simple but complex, minimalist expression of body and structural form created to encompass the human landscape with fluid movement of object and humanoid shell.

Who is the guest of the day: Camila Farina works developing art, design and contemporary cultural projects at Maria Cultura, is a teacher at Design and Fashion Design Graduation at UniRitter and owns a cute Chinchila called Manuel.

Local Elections in New Zealand

We have local elections coming up here and there are some striking differences from the UK, as well as similarities. There are actually three elections in this region; for Tasman District Council mayor,  Tasman District Council councillors, and for the Local District Health Board members.

The main differences:

  • The geography is enormous.
  • Voting is [almost] entirely by post.
  • Clearer understanding of council/board responsibilities.
  • Candidates run as individuals, not under any party banner.

And the similarities:

  • Mayor (Council Leader) is a full time post. Others part time.
  • Similar ratio of applicants to posts.
  • Limited knowledge of candidates amongst voters.

The geography is striking by UK standards. For comparison Tendring District Council (Clacton, Frinton and surrounds) covers 340 square kilometres and 140,000 people. Tasman District covers 10,000 square kilometres and 47,000 people. The Health Board, including three districts, covers 227,000 square kilometres and 145,000 people. Those zeros on the square kilometre figures here are not typos. The Health Board area here really does cover about the same number of people as Tendring District Council, but over an area nearly 1,000 times as large, or twice the size of Wales.

Possibly as a result of the geography voting is entirely by post. Papers were received in this household a week ago and the voting closes in a fortnight. You can vote in person, up to the closing date, but this is primarily for people who do not get their postal voting papers for some reason. There are concerns here, as in the UK, about fraudulent perversion of postal votes, though the long term solution here is seen as electronic voting. “Real Me”, a single point of eContact with NZ government already exists.

The relatively simple governance structure, in Tasman District, of [just] local council and central government makes it relatively clear what the responsibilities are. There is a Motueka town council, but its powers are minimal. The Health Board covers; hospitals, primary care and pharmacy. The District Council covers; planning and recreational facilities as well as water, sewage and roads. Schools are run nationally. That has to be better than the dogs breakfast of; European [currently], national, county, district, mayoral layers of government, plus the confusion between hospitals and local government of care of the elderly, plus the [increasing] range of different schools (Grammar, free, academy, faith, comprehensive . . .). I think it is fair to say that the electorate here are much clearer than in the UK, over what the people they elect are going to be responsible for. In most other parts of New Zealand there is Regional Council above the District.

The numbers of candidates / positions for each election are:

  • Tasman Mayor – 3 candidates for one position.
  • Tasman Councillors – 5 candidates for the three Motueka seats on Tasman District Council.
  • Health Board – 15 candidates for 7 positions.

This compares with the six candidates for two positions in the ward when I was elected as a local councillor in Clacton. There are similar rumblings here about the quality of some candidates, but it seems than in NZ as in the UK there is an adequate supply of adequate candidates for the system to work effectively. That may be helped in NZ by Councillors receiving NZ$38,000 pa (c £20,000 pa), compared to £5,000 in the UK. Each  district decides its own voting format, which means here that the Health Board uses Single Transferable Vote (STV) and the Council (Mayor and Councillors) uses First Past The Post.

And then we come to some familiar problems. The candidates a simply not well known. Voters do get an official list of candidates, including a short statement from each. And they run as individuals. No party affiliation to guide the voter here. Despite this turnout for local elections here is around 50%, compared to 35%-40% in the UK (for elections not coinciding with a national election).

The lack of knowledge seems to arise from a lack of media coverage of how these locally elected politicians are performing, which is strikingly similar to the UK. And, by and large, that reflects the general lack on interest amongst residents. Some issues raise the political pulse; TPIP, mineral extraction in national parks, but not many. Clearly it is that much easier in the internet age to do some research into the different candidates; though inevitably people do ask people they know, who they regard as more informed. That is not necessarily a bad thing as at least their vote is “informed”, when some votes in the UK might be criticised for being cast after consulting little more than their prejudices. The turnout does seem to indicate that more voters feel able and interested to vote than in the UK.

Is there anything the UK might learn from Tasman Council, about local elections. Maybe that clarity over responsibilities does facilitate effective democracy.

  • No losses of grease while hanging on the wall
  • Has a WORKING pressure of 4300 PSI

  • The high pressure nylon hose has a 14,450 PSI burst pressure rating
  • Great for farm applications, construction equipment, fleets, cities and municipalities

Lube-Shuttle Pistol Grip Grease Gun WITH PREMIUM SYNTHETIC GREASE

“Last week I ordered your Lube-Shuttle & 10 tubes. I already have a Lock&Lube tip. I was a bit apprehensive due to the cost. But today I lubed my riding mower. What an improvement! The Lube-Shuttle is worth every penny.” -Mike R, “The Other Mike”

Lube Shuttle solves all of the problems of traditional grease guns! With no plunger, when the tube is ready to change you unscrew the old one, push out grease with the plunger in the bottom of the new tube, screw it in and you’re ready to go. It’s that simple! It won’t ooze grease because there’s not pressure in there until you crank the handle, and then there’s a LOT of pressure.

The plunger and the premium components inside put out over 4300 pounds of pressure, pulling the grease out of the tube and forcing it to the bearings. Because of that pressure, it’ll put grease in places that those cheap, third-world farm store grease guns won’t get. So your equipment will last longer!

Grease for Lube Shuttle is comparably priced with what you’re using now, and the grease canisters are plastic and recyclable.

The product has been available in Europe for a number of years and is just now arriving in the North American market. After using this grease delivery system, you’ll NEVER go back to the old style grease gun. It’s literally a product that will change your attitude about equipment maintenance, especially if you use a lot of grease.

By choosing this selection you can order with it the KH150 full synthetic grease, the ultimate high performance choice. KH150 is made with a synthetic base oil,then thickened with a calcium complex that’s designed for ultimate performance. This synthetic product offers more consistent lubrication, lower operating temperatures and longer equipment life. Calcium thickened grease have greater stability and higher mechanical and shear stability than lithium greases. They’re also more water resistant and, unlike lithium greases, require no additives for corrosion prevention.

KH 150 Specifications:

Base Oil Vis. (40°C)
Temperature Range
-40°C to +160°C
Drop Temperature

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 I have tried reading different articles online but I am beat. I check my internet speeds they are running at the correct speeds. Yet when on Youtube videos just take ages to get working.

I for the most part us Chromium, although i tried to use firefox to see if this was browser specific and it was not. I get very low loading time for Youtube. I have streamed from other pages with ease.

I tried in creasing cache, updating flash, playing under html5.

( I have 12mb/down speed internet, when i ran videos on Win7 never had an issue my internet could handle 720p)

anybody have a solution?

  • So you say videos from other sites are streaming quickly, and the problem is only with YouTube? What happens when you run Firefox in safe mode? i.e. type firefox -safe-mode at the terminal – Chan-Ho Suh May 23 '13 at 4:24
  • i know this is an old question, but did you try installing hal? – Nil Jun 28 '13 at 18:51

The problem may be that YouTube is using Flash, which is notorious for being slow on Linux. Try going here and clicking the link to participate in the YouTube HTML5 beta. The player isn't as nice, but it should perform better.

I had a similar problem, as you said it has persisted across multiple browsers, and speed checks out. I am assuming Ubuntu is your OS.

1.Try deleting your 'libflashplayer.so' plugins and re-download from adobe. Unpack and move back to plugin directory of your browser.

2.Try clearing (in chromium) your history. Also go to tools in control menu, and clear browsing data. Might be a weird caching problem.

Did you add any extensions? Do other video sites, or flash games work? As a last resort un-install chromium, and remove completely in Synaptic, and all old config files, and reinstall.

Might need a system update, if you haven't tried already. Also reboot system.

Good luck!

  • how would i delete libflashplayer.so sorry im not excactly a pro. – user107534 May 23 '13 at 4:20
  • Alright. I deleted all my history, caching, cookies since beginning of time and reinstalled Chromium & Flash Plug in from Ubuntu Software Center, seems to be working well. I can play 720p quickly again. Let's see how long this lasts. – user107534 May 23 '13 at 5:31
  • It started again after 24 hrs – user107534 May 24 '13 at 3:30
  • Sorry it's been awhile since I connected to internet. I'm glad it started again, to delete libflashplayer.so, it will be in your plugins directory for your web browser, so if you pull up a terminal ctrl+alt+t, you want to change directories by the cd command.'cd /usr/lib' and use the list or ls command to find your browsers directory. Change directory into the browser you want, and find the plugins folder, and there should be the libflashplayer.so file. – user159773 May 27 '13 at 4:41
  • @kregerjd Never advise to delete system files managed by packages! Remove the package it is part of instead. In this case: flashplugin-installer. – gertvdijk Jun 28 '13 at 18:52

In my case I determined that it was actually the audio that was not working properly. That was causing the video to hang. Performing the following fixed my issue:

  1. Make sure pulse audio is installed
  2. rm -r ~/.config/pulse; pulseaudio -k

Reference: No sound device detected

Try installing HAL (hardware acceleraion layer) as per this answer that solved my problems with streaming videos. It seems to make youtube run smoothly too, though I don't know whether I might just be imagining the effect.

The Directions for Raring:

sudo apt-get install hal

sudo mkdir /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe

sudo mkdir /etc/hal/fdi/information

/usr/sbin/hald --daemon=yes --verbose=yes

rm -rf ~/.adobe

Check the below link. May be it will be useful to you.

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – Warren Hill Apr 1 '14 at 10:00

Well just check this..! For Installing 'libflashplayer.so'

HERE IS THE PERFECT SOLUTION: I am also running Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit. I had same problem util yesterday. The solution is to run the following command to turn off Ubuntu Power Management for your wireless device, usually it will be "wlan0"

1-) Open a "TERMINAL" and type "sudo iwconfig" This will list the available wireless interfaces in your system. Find out your wireless device name. My output is:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth2 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"AIRTEL"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 50:67:F0:C7:CF:7C
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=200 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on Link Quality=50/70 Signal level=-60 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

eth0 no wireless extensions.

As you see above mine is "eth2"

2-) Now in "TERMINAL" type "sudo iwconfig >>your wireless device name<< power off" As I typed "sudo iwconfig eth2 power off" That's it. Now check out your youtube videos and tell me the result. For more info check this link -->

  • 1
    From the question: "I check my internet speeds they are running at the correct speeds." So I don't think he has any issues with the wireless power savings. – gertvdijk Jun 28 '13 at 18:51
  • Actually I had same issue as described above my internet speed was okay but I couldn't able to open a youtube video fast. It was taking ages to open and then this trick helped me a lot. – Hejar Mukriyani Jun 28 '13 at 19:42
