1/10/2024 0 Comments Penny for your thoughtsIn such wise yt not wtoute som note & reproch of suche vagaraunte mind, other folk sodainly say to them: a peny for your thought.Ī rough paraphrase of the above is “when people notice that someone appears disengaged and wish them to rejoin the conversation, they ask ‘a penny for your thoughts’.” In 1535, Sir Thomas More wrote in A Treatyce upon the last thynges (‘Four Last Things’): James Rogers in the “The Dictionary of Clichés” says that the saying is from a time when the British penny was worth a significant sum. Looks like the phrase is at least 400 years old, and so getting a precise etymology may be hard. It is an invitation to a person who looks like they have something to say, but hesitant or lost in thought to express their ideas. The simplest meaning for “a penny for your thoughts” is: “What’s on your mind?” or “Tell me what you are thinking,” especially when someone looks pensive, or they haven’t said very much and have been quiet for a while about a specific topic. I would love to connect with you, hear your story and continue growing this amazing path of discovery.When you hear someone says that they would give you a penny for your thoughts, you might imagine yourself getting paid for your all the things that go through your head, and consequently, you would be rich! But that is why this is just an idiomatic expression. My latest project is a series of books that highlight ordinary people with extraordinary stories called The Factor Series.Ĭonnecting with people, creating their stories through my photography and writing has been a journey of discovery for me and for the brave people that honour me with their stories. In Penny’s world, you will read blogs that come from my observations about everything from bad manners to the latest recipe that rocked my dinner plate. Once I looked past what had been holding me back, “A Penny for your Thoughts” was born and has quickly become a labour of love and passion project that is spreading farther than I ever dreamed. It was then that I began questioning why I had been okay with just being okay. These programs challenged me to break through my comfort ceiling, creating a new way of living. My self-discovery began through a series of programs that, surprisingly changed my life. I made a promise to myself that if I won the battle I was facing, I would never again settle for anything less than “the best”. ![]() In September of 2016, I suffered a life-threatening illness and my relationship with the man I thought I would grow old with ended. My story is all about new beginnings and allowing ease for a peace of mind that what is, is and what is meant to be will come. I believe in living life like an upwelling of the ocean, pulling nutrients from deep inside my soul and feeding the nutrient depleted surface. This burst of energy drives me every day to be bolder in my quest to live my best life truly being my authentic self, not just dreaming about what could be. ![]() The feeling of crossing items off my “bucket list” gives me immense pleasure, and a fulfilling sense of accomplishment. In addition to photography and writing, I love to travel, discover new experiences and connect with people all over world. I am a proud busy mom to two amazing young women and “Grandma” to their fur babies. I was raised and have lived in several provinces in beautiful Canada. The concept for my site began as a simple idea to merge two of my passions in life, beautiful photographs and discovering people’s unique stories. ![]() Hi, I’m Penny Purvis, enthusiastic photographer, writer, public speaker and creator behind “A Penny for your Thoughts.” I have created a place with featured opinion blogs, feel photography and an opportunity for you to share your thoughts and feelings.

If you’d like to comment, you can catch me on twitter here: or by eMail.Īt the end of September 2014, I wrote about upcoming changes in Transloader for iOS. My name is Matt, I’m the developer of Eternal Storms Software. I hope you can make good use of this code – and if you do, please be sure to let me know! □ TL DR – I uploaded a demo project here on Github. ] įor a complete project of how this exactly works, please scroll down where you’ll find a Xcode Project on Github.Īnd this is what it looks like in action – notice that after the Action extension is tapped, the website appears the same way as it was in Safari: ![]() In our implementation file, in the WebView’s delegate method “-webViewDidFinishLoad:”, all we basically need to do is apply these parameters to our own web view: With these parameters, we can do what we set out to do – display the web page in the Action extension the same way as the user left it in Safari. – baseURI is the current URL displayed in Safari – pageScale is how far the user has zoomed into the page – pageYOffset is the vertical scroll value – pageXOffset is the horizontal scroll value In the Action.js, we call our native code with these parameters: This way, we can extract the current page scale and the scroll position. In an Action extension for webpages (action extensions that are displayed in the action sheet if the NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebPageWithMaxCount criteria is met), you can supply a JavaScript preprocessing file that will let you examine the contents of the webpage before your native code is called. Luckily, Apple implemented a way that allows us to do just that. I wanted to change that:Ī user should see the same part of the website in Transloader’s action extension as the part they were viewing in Safari before tapping the Share button. So the user is ripped out of the context, they’d have to scroll and zoom again to get to the same position they had in the Safari web view. The thing is, the UIWebView of the extension loads the website for itself again and hence starts from the top, not zoomed in. ![]() I figured, a user browses a site, perhaps zooms in on stuff and when they find a link they’d like to download to their Mac, they press the Share button in Safari and select Transloader’s action extension. In that vain, I thought it would be neat to present the website a user was viewing in Safari the same way in the action extension – meaning the zoom level and scroll position. One of the main purposes of an action extension is to allow a user access to functionality from a different app without a) leaving the current app and b) without leaving the current context (which is more or less the same, but context is the point I’d like to drive home with this post). A user might zoom and scroll in Safari before launching the action extension and when they do, the web page would be shown from the top, not zoomed. It’s nice, but I wanted to go an extra step. ![]() Transloader’s Action Extension, displaying a UIWebView For the upcoming action extension in Transloader, I’m using a UIWebView to show the webpage the user is currently browsing, so they can tap on a link they’d like to download: 1/10/2024 0 Comments Netnewswire iosOne major feature that NetNewsWire doesn’t have at this writing is syncing.

1/10/2024 0 Comments Boze heart to heart 2![]() In 2019 the rural school sports equipment program was startedĪ congenital heart defect (CHD) is a defect of the heart that is present at birth, meaning children are born with the problem rather than acquiring it later in life.In 2017 H2H became a special fund of Ren De Foundation.In 2014 a food bank/card program was started for families in the hospital.In 2013 the group volunteering program started.In 2006 we also set up the rural library program.In 2006 we started going on field trips to visit previously sponsored children.In 2005 Heart to Heart sponsored the first 2 children for heart surgery.In 2004 we began collecting donations to sponsor a child for surgery.In June 2003 H2H began as a hospital play group.Sponsoring a child is a truly moving experience. Sponsors are given documentation on where their donations were spent and can also visit the children while the children are in the hospital for their surgery. We also have a $0 operating budget which means that 100% of donations are spent for surgeries. Heart to Heart is proud of the fact that we are and always have been a 100% volunteer organization. The surgeries not only saved their lives, but transformed the lives of their families. To date H2H has sponsored over 2,273 children for heart surgery. We are Shanghai based, but provide corrective surgery for Chinese children from all over China with congenital heart disease (CHD) whose parents are unable to afford the surgery. ![]() Heart to Heart is a special fund of Ren De Foundation. ![]() The relationship you have with your publisher is a business partnership – if you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask.Pan Macmillan Australia accepts electronic manuscript submissions directly from writers every day of the week. Ultimately, your publisher has a good handle on what performs well in the marketplace and what sorts of things give their books a ‘hand up’ in the highly competitive book industry. You may be shown suggestions for cover art, or you may not be. Some publishers include the writer as much as they can through the entire production process, while other publishers do not. If your manuscript is selected for publishing, congratulations! A publisher’s very first marketing decision is in whether to publish a book at all! Make sure you understand the terms of the publisher’s contract, including your job in marketing the book and your royalties. Your book will need to go through production (including the editorial process, the design process, and the proofreading process, during all of which the publisher is mindful of marketing decisions as well as promotion and distribution). Some publishers may have that kind of turnaround time, but most do not. Be mindful that most small and regional publishers produce a dozen or more titles every year, and they may simply not have the capacity to accept your manuscript currently.Īlso, you may wish to ask the publisher what their production timeline is – it’s unusual to see a book go from manuscript to the shelf in less than a year, unless you’re working with a hybrid publisher or a vanity press. Some publishers only accept manuscript submissions during certain parts of the year, or they entertain submissions of a certain theme for a special project they’re working on. Most publishers will have this information posted on their website. Find out if they accept unsolicited manuscripts, and if they do, what format they wish to see your manuscript in. When you have that list in hand, check out publishers’ websites or get in touch with them. Some writers submit their work to literary or genre magazines and contests so they can build up a kind of “publishing resume”. So do a little bit of homework and find out who publishes the kind of book you’d like to see your name on. ![]() Some publishers have a mandate to produce the work of local writers. Some publishers won’t accept unsolicited manuscripts (that means they aren’t interested in reading a manuscript if they haven’t asked you to submit it first). Publishers have areas of focus or genres they prefer to work with. Go to your local library and find books similar in theme or genre to yours, and make a list of the publishers whose books you like. It’s generally good advice to do a little bit of research when you’re ready to submit a manuscript to a publisher. ![]() Many will use the services of freelance editors or manuscript evaluation services (like those offered by the Saskatchewan Writers Guild) to go over their manuscripts before submitting them. Some writers use the services of “beta readers” (people usually outside your immediate circle of awesome people who will read your manuscript and give you pointers, not necessarily on things like typos and grammatical oopsies, but on bigger things that could be problematic, like places where they get confused, or where the narrative shifts, or where your data doesn’t add up). For most writers, though, you need to have a completed manuscript that (preferably) has been edited so you’re presenting your best work. There are exceptions, of course – some non-fiction publishers will solicit manuscripts from known writers whose work performs well or who have other popular products or services. ![]() It’s very rare for a publisher to accept an unfinished manuscript for publication. First, you have to finish writing your manuscript! If you think of getting your book published as kind of like getting a new job, then your manuscript is your resume. 1/10/2024 0 Comments Easy cubism art![]() The whole idea of space is reconfigured: the front, back and sides of the subject become interchangeable elements in the design of the work.Cubism was one of the most significant art movements of the 20th century. Instead it will show you many parts of the subject at one time, viewed from different angles, and reconstructed into a composition of planes, forms and colours. Cubist painting, paradoxically abstract in form, was an attempt at a more realistic way of seeing.Ī typical Cubist painting depicts real people, places or objects, but not from a fixed viewpoint. Therefore, the Cubists proposed that your sight of an object is the sum of many different views and your memory of an object is not constructed from one angle, as in perspective, but from many angles selected by your sight and movement. You can also change your viewpoint in relation to the object allowing you to look at it from above, below or from the side. ![]() When you look at an object your eye scans it, stopping to register on a certain detail before moving on to the next point of interest and so on. To do this the Cubists examined the way that we see. They wanted to introduce the idea of 'relativity' - how the artist perceived and selected elements from the subject, fusing both their observations and memories into the one concentrated image. As the image was drawn from a fixed position, the result was frozen, like a snapshot, but the Cubists wanted to make pictures that reached beyond the rigid geometry of perspective. ![]() ![]() The fact that a picture drawn in perspective could only work from one viewpoint restricted their options. The Cubists saw the limitations of perspective as an obstacle to progress. Picasso and Braque developed their ideas on Cubism around 1907 in Paris and their starting point was a common interest in the later paintings of Paul Cézanne. This new way of seeing was called Cubism - the first abstract style of modern art. Artists needed a more radical approach - a 'new way of seeing' that expanded the possibilities of art in the same way that technology was extending the boundaries of communication and travel. Photography had begun to replace painting as the tool for documenting the age and for artists to sit illustrating cars, planes and images of the new technologies was not exactly rising to the challenge. The problem for artists at this time was how to reflect the modernity of the era using the tired and trusted traditions that had served art for the last four centuries. During this period, inventions such as photography, cinematography, sound recording, the telephone, the automobile and the airplane heralded the dawn of a new age. In the four decades from 1870-1910, western society witnessed more technological progress than in the previous four centuries. Their aim was to develop a new way of seeing which reflected the modern age. The Cubists challenged conventional forms of representation, such as perspective, which had been the rule since the Italian Renaissance. Cubism was an attempt by artists to revitalise the tired traditions of Western art which they believed had run their course. It was the first style of abstract art which evolved at the beginning of the 20th century in response to a world that was changing with unprecedented speed. Cubism was a truly revolutionary style of modern art developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques. 1/10/2024 0 Comments Warhammer chaosbane![]() The story is told in a matter-of-fact way as if understanding players either have knowledge of these worlds and characters or not. Again, I have no established knowledge of Warhammer lore so it did affect my attachment to the game’s world. It’s a standard “chosen one” dynamic as your character’s quest starts as one thing but soon spirals into an escalating drama with the forces of evil. The game follows the quest of your hero to stop the forces behind the attack while trying to save the world. After an introductory cutscene plays providing backstory for your chosen hero, we find that Magnus, who led the Empire of men against total destruction from the forces of Chaos, has been cursed by a mysterious figure. Players choose one of four characters: Bragi the Dwarf, wood-elf Elessa, high-elf Elontir, or the human Vollen. For those who seek the brisk pace of gorging trash mobs for better loot, Chaosbane will scratch that constantly nagging itch. Spilling the blood of various demons and cultists in your favorite settings will never not be a tantalizing morsel. For fans of this universe, Chaosbane is an easy sell. Going in to Warhammer: Chaosbane, I had no expectations outside of the fact that it was set in the same period as the Vermintide games (which have piqued my interest but not graced my hands) and was an action-RPG (which I’m quite familiar with). Apparently it was a universe rich with history that I just did not have the time to invest in. The only constant seemed to be a dedication to grit and violence. Over the years I’ve seen games pop up with the Warhammer name emblazoned on them and confused about the mix of fantasy and science fiction. We looked inside and he was surprised at the amount of Warhammer merchandise inside, commenting that it must be a pretty big deal there. Back in college, I was walking around a city in France with a friend and we passed by a comic book store next to a cathedral–you know, as one does. ![]() Before attending my first E3 I had virtually no knowledge of the Warhammer universe. 1/10/2024 0 Comments Fifa 18 demo skidrow![]() Authentic new environments, unlocked by a new deferred lighting system create ultra-realistic football experiences and player fidelity, enhancing the game in every part of the stadium.

The Marina kit has the most powerful filter and the brightest built-in light of all the kits we tested, and its sleek lid makes it look much more elegant than many tanks that cost more. But whichever method you choose will set your tank up for success and ensure that your fish don’t kill themselves with their pee.Īfter researching 10 glass 20-gallon aquarium kits and testing five, we concluded that the Marina 20G LED Aquarium Kit is the best kit for most people looking to start an aquarium. We like this guide on cycling with fish and this guide on fishless cycling. It doesn’t take as long as cycling with fish, but it can be frustrating to buy everything you need for a tank and then leave it empty for over a month. You can buy a bacteria starter to speed up the process, but your local tap water already contains some of that needed bacteria, which will multiply around an ammonia source. In the second method, also known as fishless cycling, you add a small dose of concentrated ammonia once the tank is set up but before the fish are in, and let the tank take care of the rest. It’ll take around eight weeks and require frequent water changes to ensure your fish don’t die, but this way you can add those two or three fish immediately. In the first method, you use two or three hearty fish and allow bacteria to multiply to handle their waste. You have two different ways to cycle your aquarium. Buying our individual picks for tanks, filters, heaters, and lights will cost between $30 and $70 more than going with a kit, but you'll end up with a more powerful and versatile filter, an adjustable heater, and a significantly brighter, customizable light, which is important if you plan to grow live plants. While either the Marina or Aqueon starter kit will give you a good basic setup for a great price, you can get significantly better equipment by buying components individually, which will likely improve the conditions for your fish. We have recommendations for all of those components (except the fish), and you can buy most of them online, though you should plan a trip to your friendly local fish store for the fish and for advice on the best way to set up your tank. But you'll also need substrate, water conditioner, a water test kit, a gravel vacuum, food, an algae sponge, and fish. It's the second-best tank kit we found after the Marina offering.Īn aquarium kit comes with a tank, a light, a filter, and (usually) a heater. But it’s available at a great price for a kit that contains all the basics for a tropical tank, from a company with reliable customer service and a huge range of compatible accessories that are available at most fish shops. Its preset heater isn't as good as our adjustable stand-alone recommendation, either. Compared with the Marina kit, it has a dimmer light and a less powerful filter, though both are still decent. If our main pick sells out, or if you want a kit that includes a heater, the 20-gallon Aqueon LED 20 Aquarium Kit is a good alternative. |
