In some cultures, conventions expect certain classes of people to keep their eyes averted downward for instance, when a person such as a servant stands before a master or someone of an upper class. More often, though, we associate “downcast eyes” with shyness or shame. Haughty, proud, maybe disdainful.ĭowncast eyes may also mean a feeling such as love or desire someone cannot readily admit to. But if you add to this a chin thrust upward, maybe eyebrows raised, you get a supercilious look. Commonly used in literature, it’s easy enough to describe: eyelids partially closed, gaze directed downward. You can read a world of meaning in downcast eyes. So that we say, ‘All this hath been before,Īll this hath been, I know not when or where ’ If one but speaks or hems or stirs his chair, And the shared feeling is strong that what’s between them has occurred before.Īs when with downcast eyes we muse and brood, But when the brooders meet each other’s gaze, something is shared, without words, and without full comprehension. Maybe, also a looking back in this case, into something vague, or nearly forgotten Something not understood, even enigmatic. “Downcast eyes,” in the first line of an early sonnet by Tennyson, refers to a state of introspection, a looking inward. In both cases, emotions infuse their thoughts. Like the heroine in WRS and the Tennyson sonnet quoted below, he’s musing. ![]() “This house we’ve been living in belongs to my father, not to me. ![]() He scowls thoughtfully for a minute, his eyes cast down. In this scene, one of the male characters in Sugar and Spice and All Those Lies is about to disclose some truths about himself. Maybe, she feels shame for those secrets or she’s exasperated with herself because she doesn’t remember much what that past is. She’s confronting secrets from her past, eighteen years after she flees her birthplace in the Pacific. Leilani’s gaze darted between Greg and Elise then, with downcast eyes and a tremulous voice, she said, “There was so much I was not allowed to see while I was growing up in my old country.” The heroine’s downcast eyes in Welcome Reluctant Stranger (Book 3, Between Two Worlds), tell you she’s deep in thought.

![]() There are always some hiccups but I find that when you ask politely, most of the time things are sorted immediately. The Kelby team do a great job at organization managing over 3,000 attendees with people whose full time jobs at Kelby Media have nothing to do with events management. The session is always closed by Moose whose images remind us why he so loved as a landscape artist. First time presenter Bill Fortney showed his beautiful Americana landscape and macro work. Joe Glyda, always has a personal assignment, this time was a dam assignment from the Hoover Dam that was peppered with Joe's moderately bent sense of humour. Julianne typically does her presentation in parts and is one of the few who really make iphonography truly impressive. ![]() Di Vitale always kicks off and shows why he is the master of the composite. Dave Black always manages to pull tears and did so again with his moving tribute to Michelle Kwan. One of my favourite events is The Art of Digital Photography where some of the instructors present their personal best in a slideshow format. There is a tradeshow floor with plenty of vendors to talk to as well. PSW also has a welcome reception where you can have a beverage with the instructors the first night, a party (if so inclined) the second night, a Midnight Madness bash the third night and a big wrap up with videos and prizes as the closing event. (He's the one with talent!)Ĭlasses start right after the Keynote and run into the early evening. ![]() I'd like to thank Bill Fortney for pointing out again that Moose Petersen suffers because people confuse me for him. This year, I want to thank Glyn Dewis, Jim DiVitale, Joe Glyda, Raphael "RC" Concepcion, Roberto Valenzuela, David Ziser, Dave Cuerdon, Jason Groupp, Dave Black, Moose Petersen, Julianne Kost, and of course, Sergeant Major Joe McNally (rank earned while he was "encouraging" us during his workshop) for delivering superb content in a friendly and powerful manner. Show up awake, and prepare to drown in knowledge transfer. You choose your tracks, your instructors, your classes. My friends Isabel and Stephanie did a Pre-Con on light painting with Dave Black and said it was really good.įor those who've never been, Photoshop World #PSW14 is the firehose of training. The Pre-Con is an add-on package to Photoshop World and if there is one you want to do are well worth the time and money. I did do a helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon, went to the Valley of Fire for sunrise, went to the Neon Sign Graveyard and also did a Pre-Con workshop with the inestimable #JoeMcNally. In truth, I shot nothing on the Strip at all, it's not really my scene. I flew in a bit early because there is a lot of interesting stuff to shoot in the Las Vegas area, especially if you are willing to get off the strip. I just returned this morning on the red-eye from Las Vegas and wanted to get my thoughts down before I fell asleep (again). They have been in my personal experience, unfailingly supportive, friendly and consistently deliver great content. So straight up, I am a huge believer in the work that the people at KelbyOne do when it comes to photographic and related software training. ![]() streamlined productive learning to be fun and simple simultaneously. If you like flower math, make sure check out flower science activities too. Our math games for kindergarten ignite a love for math in young learners right from. For school age kids, you can make some fun math problem out of the data, like how much the plant grow yesterday (today’s height minus yesterday’s height). They are math, English, general learning, and holiday worksheets. If you are growing a flower, ask kids to measure the plant height and record the data everyday. Kindergarten Worksheets to Print, Download, and Use Online Our fun kindergarten worksheets are broken down into four main areas.

The experience-based, destination health park was opened in November 2011 by Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital to enhance the overall health and vitality of the communities it serves. Coming soon in Charlotte the restaurant chain has plans to open 200 stores in strategically located metro areas across the country within the next 10 years. Currently, The Big Salad can also be found in Ann Arbor, Grosse Pointe Woods, Novi, Royal Oak and Troy. Additionally, The Big Salad offers a plethora of fresh sandwich and soup options, as well as putting any salad into a wrap. Through thoughtful planning, The Big Salad chefs are equipped to prepare more than 17 million possible iceberg, romaine or spinach salad combinations for customers right at the point of purchase with a choice of 40 toppings and 30 dressings. Since opening its first location in 2008, The Big Salad has allowed people to make their meal their own. “As Small Victories includes eating a healthy meal or exercising, partnering with AL!VE is in line with our desire to help build strong communities as well as great meals,” Bornoty said. Customers are invited to share their Small Victory in person at one of its locations in Ann Arbor, Grosse Pointe Woods, Novi, Royal Oak, Troy and soon in Charlotte, as well as on The Big Salad website through social media on the company’s Facebook page or with Twitter using the hashtag #smallvictory. The campaign promotes achievements that are realized each and every day, but often go unnoticed. Earlier this year, the health conscious restaurant launched its Small Victories campaign. In addition to offering healthy living options, both AL!VE and The Big Salad are committed to enhancing the community. “As patrons are offered a variety of ways to customize their wellness, NOURISH by The Big Salad will offer customers an avenue to customize eating – customers can come in, order what they want and how they want it and they get a healthy, reasonably priced meal designed to their tastes.” “Joining AL!VE is a terrific opportunity and a great fit for us,” The Big Salad Founder and CEO John Bornoty explained. “AL!VE is open to everyone, there are no entry fees or membership requirements, so we encourage all to come try the new, fresh, healthy options NOURISH by The Big Salad will offer our community.” “We are excited to welcome The Big Salad to AL!VE – bringing a new unique dining option to our mid-Michigan region,” said Patrick Sustrich, AL!VE executive director.

The new location will stretch The Big Salad’s traditional menu offerings to include smoothies, fruits, specialty coffees and breakfast items.ĪL!VE provides inspiration and support for the greater Charlotte and mid-Michigan communities to transform, empower and enhance personal well-being. It will bring healthy nutrition to patrons by opening NOURISH by The Big Salad in fall 2014. ![]() The Big Salad is joining AL!VE, Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital’s experience-based destination health park in Charlotte, Mich. Factor in the back story, the audacity of the idea, the thousands of man hours to build it, the OCD fit and finish, the depth of character that continues to reveal itself the more you drive and the love that spills out of it, and you're left with something very special indeed. The specs are nothing special, but the overall taste is. This is a carbon fibre, two-seat coupe with a four-cylinder turbo in its freakishly clean engine bay. I ate grilled lettuce covered in a mystery sauce at a South African restaurant once, and let me tell you it was transcendental. In my book, the mark of truly great food is taking the simplest of ingredients and making them sing. Plus, “it would have been 1,500kg", Bååth reminds us. “This is a time capsule of everything up until now, electric comes next.” Not because we don’t like EVs, but because a car that’s a homage to the past deserves to represent it in all its fuel-belching glory. When we discovered it wasn’t, joy was universal in the Top Gear office. When we first saw pictures of this car, and had taken a quiet moment in the corner to regroup, we all assumed it would be electric. You can forget your stopwatch and just enjoy a bit of built-in squish, the natural movement of the car through your buttocks and that old-school analogue feel despite a new-school tolerance to abuse. What you get then is a neat road/track compromise – soft enough to enjoy on the public highway, fast and interactive enough to keep even the handiest of hands happy on track. This could have so easily been a racecar with a numberplate wearing a nostalgic hat - banging in lap times is Cyan’s speciality, after all - but Bååth says he fought hard to ringfence the fun. Cyan calls it “an authentic rear-wheel-drive experience,” we call it an OAP with bionic hips and a repeat prescription for adrenalin. But stick at it and the car begins to embrace you, you start to trust the rapid power-assisted steering, learn that the brakes like to be mashed, that a little or a large slide here and there is how it likes to be handled. I’m constantly aware that there’s moisture on the surface, no electronics to mask my talent deficiencies, luxury houses that cost less and currently only one of these in the world. Hold onto the gears though and you’re properly shifting by the time you’ve slid down the dogleg-pattern 'box into third.

He participated in the rear guard action for the Army of Northern Virginia as Grant pushed toward Petersburg. He is captured once again, but finally (after two failed attempts) escaped to rejoin south of Winchester in the Shenandoah Valley. After Chancellorsville, he left the infantry and joined the Black Horse Cavalry. 1,200 words in total and one illustration or up to 3.

After the cards have been purchased, the victim is asked to pay by sharing the code(s) on the back of the card with the caller over the phone. ![]() Regardless of the reason for payment, the scam follows a certain formula: The victim receives a call instilling panic and urgency to make a payment by purchasing Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards or Apple Store Gift Cards from the nearest retailer (convenience store, electronics retailer etc.). As the fraudsters are sometimes requesting codes from Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards or Apple Store Gift Cards, we want to make sure our customers are aware of these scams. The scams are carried out using many methods, including gift cards. This will help in keeping your coffee fresh and should give you better quality coffees.A string of scams are taking place, in which people are asked to make payments over the phone for things such as taxes, hospital bills, bail money, debt collection and utility bills. Second make sure you are using good, fresh coffee. Also the correct grind will allow your coffee to be a little more forgiving in a lower powered machine. If your grind is not correct, you will never get a good drink and will not be able to get your tamping skills correct. If you have to choose between a higher dollar grinder or machine to start I would go with the grinder. Keep in mind that for someone starting, the grinding will be extremely important. If you are not in a hurry, and think you will be using the machine for a while, I would recommend finding a used machine or wait till you can expand your budget a little. It is twice as much, but it is a better machine on a few different fronts. On the other hand if you are a coffee drinker and will continue to make drink for years to come, then you are better of going with the Sylvia from the start. If you are only doing a drink at a time and just learning, the Gaggia is a great way to get all of the Techniques down before spending more money. Here is a good break down of the two machines side by side Gaggia Vs Sylvia. It will work for newbies, but what I have found is that many people will upgrade within a year or two. The Gaggia is a good little machine for those that are getting into espresso. WIth the LIDO, the grinds cling with static to the bin. ![]() I have the W model, which grinds to your specified weight +/- 0.1 g, and grinds into a polymer bin. Also, the ceramic burrs create NO static. I'm not sure my palate is sensitive enough for the heat to make a difference, but the quieter operation allows me to grind coffee before anyone else is up without hearing complaints. The 54 mm burrs spin slower than the old POS burr grinder I used to have, so they make a lot less noise, and don't heat up as much when grinding. You can put steel grinding plates on it, which are apparently better for coarse grinding. However, I've read that the ceramic grinder doesn't do a good job for coarser grinds for pour-over or french press. The LIDO will now be my travel grinder, if I choose to be that picky. A friend who is a much more finicky coffee snob than I uses a Pharos grinder right now (it's his backup, but he's remodelling, and has his good one packed away). They make a LIDO E now, for espresso, which is made for espresso. it just can't be dialed in accurately enough to make consistent espresso grinds. I learned quickly that the hand grinder just didn't do a good enough job on espresso. I have a LIDO 3 that I bought for making pour-over and Aeropress, that is fantastic for that use.Ī few months ago, though, I decided to get an espresso maker. ![]() The workflow is slow and horrible and something I wish Splunk would improve. If you have an updated dataset, you’re probably going to be stuck deleting the original lookup table and then uploading the new one. For whatever reason, Splunk hasn’t provided a useful way to edit lookup tables once they’ve been uploaded. Standard lookup tables are great if you’re working with a static dataset that is unlikely to ever change. src_ip username first_name last_name title 1.1.1.1 John Doe Accountant Dynamic Lookup Tables This can be very powerful from a security operations perspective if you have tables containing employee information and their hardware assets. When performing the lookup, Splunk will join all the additional fields that are present in the lookup table to the search results keying off the field that you specify. ![]() Which would simply return the following results: src_ip username 1.1.1.1 then add context to it using the lookup command: index=nginx | table src_ip, username | lookup employee_lookup.csv employee_email as username We could then take a query that looks something like this (using our example log line): index = nginx | table src_ip, username To keep it simple, let’s say the newly uploaded lookup table consists of one row and looks like this: # employee_lookup.csv +-+-+-+-+ | first_name | last_name | title | employee_email | +-+-+-+-+ | John | Doe | Accountant | | +-+-+-+-+ Who is this employee? What is their job function? Etc.Īssuming I have the ability to export a database or table information about our employees to a CSV, I can upload that to Splunk as a lookup table. Let’s use this log line as an example: 1.1.1.1 - "POST /admin.php HTTP/1.1" 200 2 - "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh U Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4 en-US) AppleWebKit/534.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/6.0.472.25 Safari/534.3"Īs a security engineer, I’ll want to be able to pull in as much context as possible about this event. Let’s say I have some nginx logs from a corporate webserver and those logs contain the email address for each employee who is accessing it. It operates in a somewhat similar way to a MySQL JOIN function and allows you to pull additional external information into your search results. One amazing feature that Splunk offers is the ability to use lookup tables to add context or additional information to a search. Keep your Splunk lookup tables in sync with a remote data source ![]() ![]() In the future, participants (whether user, parent, or professional) in Athalye et al.'s study would like these decisions to be predominantly led by the users themselves. The study showed that current services are perceived to be predominantly led by CI centers where decisions related to appointments, provision of standard care, treatment, accessories, management, and long-term maintenance are made by the team at the CI center. The remaining respondents were parents (19%) and CI users (12%). Seven hundred forty-eight responses were obtained, the majority of which (69%) were from CI professionals. They used a questionnaire with close- and open-ended responses to explore the views of the current CI service delivery and the potential issues in the long term. Recently, Athalye, Archbold, Mulla, Lutman, and Nikolopoulous (2015) explored the perspectives of CI users, parents of pediatric CI users, and professionals in the United Kingdom. ![]() Currently, CIs are typically still only provided in specialized centers requiring a multidisciplinary team consisting of clinical audiologists ear, nose, and throat surgeons radiologists CI audiologists psychologists and speech and language therapists. As the number of implant users will grow, the current model of intensive clinic-centric CI programs will become unsustainable, with implant centers questioning their specialized methods of service delivery as an effective means of provision ( H. Currently, only 6% to 15% of potential adult cochlear implant (CI) candidates receive a CI ( De Raeve & van Hardeveld, 2014).
