Alternatives to Real Pumpkins

Alternatives to Real Pumpkins


Sadly, not everyone can have a real pumpkin for the Halloween season, carved or otherwise. Some places simply dont have them for sale, or theyre marked up at ridiculous prices. Still other people might not be allowed by their landlords to have one, or dont want to deal with disposal at the end of the season. So, what other options do you have if you want pumpkin decor for Halloween and the autumn without all the fuss of a real pumpkin? Here are some ideas:



Plastic Pumpkins

Fake foam or plastic pumpkins are abound in craft stores and now is a good time to pick one up. They come in orange, white, black, and chalkboard at Michaels.  You can leave it plain or give it a makeover with dripped crayons (rainbow on a white pumpkin is great, but black/silver/gray or Halloween colors would be great too), adding craft ribbons or bows, adding a glow-in-the-dark treatment, covering it in fake gems, or painting it to match your decor.

Velvet Pumpkins

I re-pinned this idea onto my Halloweentown Ideas Pinterest board a few months back and I still absolutely adore it. A stuffed pumpkin made out of a rich, fall-like fabric is a great option and a good way to spend a rainy afternoon. Heres a tutorial from HGTV for easy sewn pumpkins which can be done in velvet, burlap, cotton, or any other fabric you can think of.

Origami

Making an origami pumpkin is actually super simple and you can do it with any kind of paper. Patterned scrapbook paper is a wonderful way to add a Gothy touch or to match your own home decor. For a simple tutorial, check here on Origami Instructions.

Mercury Glass

Mercury glass is a very pretty material that works especially well for Halloween decor. Something about the reflective but distorted surface is a really refreshing take on the traditional orange pumpkin and great if youre not crazy about incorporating tons of orange into your Halloween look. This one above is from Pottery Barn, or you can look here for a tutorial on adding a Mercury-Glass look to any glass.



Carved Turnips

If you want an alternative to a large pumpkin but you want something organic still, consider buying a turnip to carve! Turnips are more traditional in certain places and are much more space efficient. For a turnip carving tutorial, check here on Makezine!

Do you prefer real pumpkins for your Halloween decor, or do you add in fake ones as well?

Another Great World History Podcast

Another Great World History Podcast


The 15 Minute History Podcast from the University of Texas is awesome!

I just listened to one about The Russian Empire on the Eve of World War 1. The narrator discussed Russian concerns on the eve of the war with Dominic Lieven, a professor at London School of Economics and Political Science. Interestingly, one of Russias major concerns prior to the war was Ukraine, which Russia saw as critical to its empire because of coal.

Other topics include the Trans-Pacific Slave Trade; Race, Slavery, and Abolition in Iran; and February Revolution of 1917. You can see a subject guide here.

AntiX 11 Core Install How to


A fellow compadre in the AntiX world made a nice how to for installing AntiX 11 i686 core iso on
his Laptop Computer.

He includes a /etc/apt/sources.list also for the uninitiated also.

Brians Blog

Just so you know how good a core install looks. Here is my AntiX 8.5 i686 core install from last year with a LXDE Desktop instead and Liqourix Kernel. Nice thing about a core install is you can tweak it to your own personal tastes. Then dd it (copy it byte for byte) if wishing to save config for later.



By the way. The top task bar and bottom task bar auto hide when not in use. I just showed them for the screen shot to show what apps can be had for the taking from Debian Testing.

Andrew Haldane and Big Banks Capital Cushions

Andrew Haldane and Big Banks Capital Cushions


Yves Smith disagrees with my take on Andrew Haldanes op-ed in the FT. After reading the op-ed, I wrote:
Strange op-ed by Andrew Haldane in the FT. No one is really pushing the argument that hes trying to shoot down.
The specific argument that Haldane was trying to shoot down, in his own words, was:
Regulators want big, complex banks to hold larger buffers of capital to protect the financial system. Big banks argue this is unnecessary because risk is diversified across their larger balance sheets.
Haldane was attempting to shoot down an argument about capital levels. Its one thing to argue that big, complex banks are safer because risk is diversified across their balance sheets — Ive seen plenty of people pushing that argument. But its entirely different to argue that because of this, big banks shouldnt have to hold larger capital cushions. Ive still yet to see anyone seriously push this argument, and none of Yves examples show anyone making this argument either.

Its perfectly consistent to argue that big banks are historically safer due to diversification, but that they should still hold larger capital cushions because of the greater potential harm caused by a big banks failure. In fact, Haldane expressly acknowledges this in his op-ed: "[E]ven if there were [evidence that big banks are safer due to diversification], the case for big banks holding higher levels of loss-absorbing capital would not be weakened. That case rests not on the probability of large banks failing, but on their system-wide impact." So the fact that Dimon, Blankfein, and Bob Diamond all think that big banks are safer due to diversification provides no insight into their thinking on capital levels, which was the subject of Haldanes op-ed. (Yves tries to impute the argument about lower capital levels to Diamond by following his quote with, "Less risk implies less capital," but again, even Haldane acknowledges that this isnt necessarily true, and in any event, shes putting words in Diamonds mouth.) So there is still no evidence that any of the executives that Yves quotes think that big banks shouldnt have to hold larger capital capital cushions because of their diversification.

One reason you dont see any big US banks making this argument — and one reason I thought Haldanes op-ed was so strange — is that the point has been moot for over seven months now: Section 165 of Dodd-Frank already mandates that big banks hold larger capital cushions than other banks. Thats a statutory requirement, and not subject to regulatory discretion. So while its possible that UK banks are pushing the argument that big banks shouldnt have to hold larger capital cushions due to diversification, Ive still not seen any evidence of this, and Yves supplies none.

TV Nepali Presnets 
Cast : Sabita Majhi and Ishwor Dulal 
Editing : Sisir Budhathoki 
 Asst. Director : Matrika Poudel and Sisir Budhathoki 

 Director : Harendra Khatri 

You may be astounded to take in these effective advantages of the giggling it makes: 


1. It can help mitigates stress Accepting youre watching or listening to stand-up that you find funny, the giggling can successfully decrease your anxiety levels. Research proposes that chuckling eases stress by starting and after that suddenly chilling off your anxiety reactions. Besides, envisioning a chuckle can have capable anxiety easing impacts. One study from 2008 found that, while foreseeing chuckling, subjects experienced lower levels of three anxiety hormones — cortisol, epinephrine and dopac. The foresight of giggling decreased these hormones by 39 percent, 70 percent and 38 percent, separately. 

2. It can diminish torment Notwithstanding being an anxiety reliever, stand-up parody could likewise help with long haul torment administration (see the Mayo Clinic article refered to above). Giggling can bring about your body to deliver common painkillers and may likewise assuage torment brought about by muscle issue by meddling with the "torment fit" cycle. A recent report led by scientists from Oxford University demonstrated that the more subjects giggled, the less torment they felt. The concentrate additionally proposes that its chuckling itself, not simply positive feelings, that guides in agony help. 

3. It can help your resistant framework Attempting to shake an irritating winter cool? Notwithstanding that Alka-Seltzer youre attempting to force down, you may profit by observing some hold up. Some exploration has demonstrated that laugher may expand the quantity of contamination battling antibodies and help insusceptible cells. In like manner, positive contemplations and sentiments —, for example, those discharged with chuckling — can possibly discharge neuropeptides, which battle ailment and anxiety (see Mayo Clinic article refered to above). 

4. It can diminish pulse Notwithstanding the medical advantages specified above, chuckling at stand-up parody can enhance blood stream and diminish your circulatory strain. Indeed, two separate studies found that chuckling enhances the stream of blood through the bodys supply routes, along these lines decreasing circulatory strain and also subjects danger of coronary illness. Most amazingly, one of the studies found that viewing an interesting motion picture enhanced circulatory strain "for an entire 24 hours" after the system was seen. The other study found that, not just do entertaining projects enhance enlargement of the supply routes, however that watching discouraging projects is really hurtful to our veins. 

5. It can animate your brain Could watching stand-up satire really enhance your mind capacity? Psychological neuroscientist Dr. Scott Weems observed that individuals presented to parody are better ready to answer semantic partners errands. In one study, Dr. Weems gave such assignments to a few gatherings of members — the individuals who viewed a comedic video, the individuals who occupied with light practice and the individuals who did not one or the other. The members who did neither addressed two less inquiries than the individuals who viewed the satire video, and the individuals who practiced just performed somewhat better. In the Psychology Today article refered to above, Dr. Weems states, "Satire resemble mental activity, and pretty much as physical activity reinforces the body, comic drama pumps up the psyche." 

6. Its a decent workout Talking about physical activity, notwithstanding, its important that watching stand-up comic drama and snickering can be a simple workout, as well. Obviously, you likely shouldnt attempt to substitute chuckling for a strong exercise center workout, yet it has its advantages. Thinks about have proposed that 10-15 minutes of chuckling can blaze around 50 calories — that is roughly one Chips Ahoy treat. Notwithstanding blazing a couple of calories, snickering additionally works your stomach muscles by making them grow and contract. It likewise works out your shoulders and activities the stomach and heart. With such a large number of various stand-up entertainers out there thus a wide range of sorts of silliness and jokes, will undoubtedly discover no less than one stand-up humorist you appreciate.

ALS Part 1

ALS Part 1



With the "Ice Bucket Challenge" going viral online, let us discuss the disease behind this fund-raising campaign.


According to medical dictionary, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—also referred to as "Lou Gehrigs disease" in the United States — is a neurodegenerative disorder. This is also referred to as "Motor Neurone Disease" (MND) in the British Commonwealth.  ALS is characterized by muscle spasticity (tight and stiff muscles), rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle atrophy, and difficulty in speaking (dysarthria), swallowing (dysphagia), and breathing (dyspnea). 


In the U.S., more than 5,600 are diagnosed every year, and up to 30,000 Americans are currently affected. ALS is responsible for 2 deaths per 100,000 people per year.


The survival time from onset to death is 39 months, and only 4% survive longer than 10 years. Rare cases survive 50 years or more (like physicist Stephen Hawking). Most die from respiratory failure, usually within three to five years from onset of symptoms.


The disorder causes the motor neurons to degenerate and impulses to the muscle fibers can no longer be sent, thus the inability to move the muscles.  About 75% of people contracting the disorder experience "limb onset," i.e., first symptoms in the arms or legs. Patients with the leg onset form may experience awkwardness when walking or running or notice that they are tripping or stumbling, often with a "dropped foot" which drags gently along the ground. Arm-onset patients may experience difficulty with tasks requiring manual dexterity such as buttoning a shirt, writing, or turning a key in a lock.


The muscles then begin to atrophy and limbs begin to look “thinner.” Persons with this disorder may ultimately lose the ability to initiate and control all voluntary movement, though bladder and bowel function and the muscles responsible for eye movement are usually spared until the last stages of the disorder.  The eye movements remain unaffected largely until the later stages due to differences in the extra-ocular muscles compared to the skeletal muscles that are initially and readily affected.



Next week we shall continue discussing ALS (possible causes and treatment)  – J.P.

Apex Toolkit for Salesforce

Apex Toolkit for Salesforce


Hi All,
Its a long time since I last posted :). So i am back with something interesting and useful contents again.
Most of us known that whenever we want to connect with any salesforce org and do query the data with any langugae, salesforce gives us some toolkit like PHP toolkit, Java toolkit, Ruby Toolkit, Flex Toolkit etc. But what when we want to connect with a remote Salesforce instance within salesforce only, using native Apex language. People use many alternate to achieve it, some uses partner wsdl to generate apex or some uses javascript toolkit. But I find them not easy to use and not easy to setup and they did not fit in my need.
So I come up with my own Apex Toolkit for Salesforce :)




Its easy to install package. You can install it from here:
https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t90000000Priq

For successful connectivity to any remote instance one entry for that salesforce server TYPE must be there in your remote site setting. I have by default included in package (NA1 to NA7) server url for salesforce. You can add more like (CS1 - CS9, NA1 - NA11, AP1 - AP10). For example see the below screen shot how i added most likely used server instances in my remote site settings. There must be 20-25 possible entries at most in my opinion.



It is very easy to use with only simple some lines of code to login and do a query to remote instance as below:

SFConnectionController controller = new SFConnectionController();
LoginResult loginResult
= controller.login(username, password, securityToken);
Response response
= controller.query(select Name, Email, Phone, MailingCity, MailingCountry from Contact, loginResult);
for(Record row: response.data.records){
string Name
= row.getFieldValue(Name);
string Email
= row.getFieldValue(Email);
string Phone
= row.getFieldValue(Phone);
string MailingCity
= row.getFieldValue(MailingCity);
string MailingCountry
= row.getFieldValue(MailingCountry);
}


There is one demo page and controller in package which shows how to use this functionality.
SFConnectionDemo
SFConnectionDemoController

The toolkit is just a start and gives users facility to do login and do simple queries on objects. One can easily extend this for better version. If you want to contribute in this, i have shared this project as open source here:

http://code.google.com/p/apex-toolkit-for-salesforce/

Here is one running online demo which shows how this package works. Just give your developer/production orgs username, password (or securityToken as well), and click on search button. It will fetch the contact records from your organization and will display in table below.

http://labsprojects-developer-edition.ap1.force.com/SFConnectionDemo

Hope you will like it :)
Mail me for any configuration or setup issues and for feedback.

Thanks

And So The New Decor At The White House Begins!

And So The New Decor At The White House Begins!


 

Everyone has a favorite color.  Mine is probably a soft blue.  Yours?   We all know that President Trump loves the color of golden yellow.  From his gold spun hair to the elevators at Trump Tower to the gold plated seat belts on his Trump Jet – for whatever reason, Trump loves the color of gold!  Maybe it stems from being Scottish and having a head of white hair as a child. 

Aww – now, THIS is a cute little towhead baby!   Precious!

Regardless of where his love of gold comes from, judging from his penthouse at Trump Tower – he definitely has the Midas touch! 

Because the Obamas had just revealed,  via Architectural Digest, their White House decor that the staid decorator Michael Smith had created for them, the public is now very curious about what changes Donald and Melania have in mind for the White House.

 

The Michael S. Smith designed master bedroom at the White House – with just a hint of gold on the walls. Will the Trumps like this decor?  It’s so hard to say.  It is a fancy look, but there’s not much bling here.  Melania has said that she loves the way her penthouse is decorated.  It is exactly her taste, she said in an interview, even though it was designed by Trump and his first wife.  If you are interested in the White House decor, you are wondering what rooms will the Trumps keep as is, and what will they redecorate, ASAP?

I doubt the Trumps will make many changes on the first floor with all the state rooms like the Blue Room, the Green Room and the Red Room.   The State Dining Room was just updated by the Obamas for the first time in years.  But, I do have a feeling the Trumps may change the Family Dining Room as soon as they can.  It seems so far removed from their style.  I’m not sure I would mind a change myself – this was my least favorite of the Smith decorated rooms:

The Family Dining Room:  The rust curtains and contemporary rug seem so far from the Trump aesthetic – it will be interesting to see if they will keep it, despite the fact that it was just redone. They could put in a pretty gold-toned damask wallpaper, along with a similar fabric on the curtains and chairs.  A Fortuny-like fabric would be beautiful in here.  The furniture would stay – it’s been in this room for over a century.  The art work by Alma Thomas between the windows was purchased for the White House – the first art work in the house collection by an African American woman.

And who will be their decorator?  Will they use the team that decorates their hotels or will they pick a new, more well-known name like Suzanne Kasler or Suzanne Rheinstein? 

Ivanka Trump used Kelly Behun to create her ultra-chic apartment.   It will be so exciting to watch what happens – but I just hope the Trumps won’t make us wait to see their changes as long as the Obamas did!!!!!

Leading up to the election, the internet was filled with memes making fun of the various candidates and their hopes of winning the White House.  I love this one of Hillary measuring the drapes, a bit early, in the oval office. 

 

And here, behind the famous Resolute Desk in the Oval House.

Even Bernie Sanders wasn’t immune – he was teased about turning the White House into a hippie commune (I guess?)  This meme place Bernie inside the Clinton oval office.

And of course, Trump is easy to tease – just throw in a bit of gold and there’s your meme.

And so, today, on the day of the inauguration, I was finishing up a new blog story that I’ve been writing when I suddenly hear that President Trump has already remolded the White House!   What?!?!  He just moved in this afternoon! 

But sure enough, he has already made a few changes to the Oval Office and some of them are very ironic.

So, I quickly put this story together about the Oval Office and its changes.

 

In 1909, William Howard Taft created the first Oval Office when he moved the President’s Office from what is now called the Lincoln Bedroom to the EOB.   Taft took over a secretary’s office space that was a half-oval, which he extended into a full oval, just as the Blue Room and Yellow Oval Room were.  The curtains were silk velvet and the floor was wood in a checkerboard pattern.   Taft chose a green color scheme for the room, which remained for decades.  The curtains lasted a long time too.

Presidents Wilson, Harding, and Coolidge all worked in the same oval office which mostly looked the same as this one seen in 1927.  In 1929 a fire destroyed the office and it was rebuilt for Herbert Hoover. 

In 1933, FDR moved the Oval Office to its present location in the SE corner of the newly expanded West Wing – so that he could more easily reach it in his wheelchair.  It was built 2 ft wider and longer than its previous size.   Since 1934, the office has not changed much except in decor.  What has stayed in the room since 1934 is the marble mantel, moved from the original 1909 office and the two flags placed behind the desk.  Here is FDR’s office seen in 1945 with the same curtains as in the older offices.  The blue-green rug was later used by all the presidents until Nixon ordered the first custom made Oval Office rug

Truman originally used FDR’s decor, but in 1947, he introduced a modern look to his office along with new green curtains.

The doors to the Rose Garden in the new Oval Office.

 

President Eisenhower kept much of the green decor, changing mostly the art work.

 

The beautiful marble mantel was moved from the old oval office to the new West Wing Oval Office.  Eisenhower’s landscapes were a departure from the portraits of the Presidents that were hanging before.

John Kennedy originally kept FDR’s green rug and curtains.  Jacqueline brought the Resolute desk into the Oval Office for the President to use.  After his death, it was on tour and at the Smithsonian until Jimmy Carter began using the desk again.  Since him, it has been used by many presidents. 

After the President left for Dallas, his office was remodeled with a royal red rug and new white curtains with red trim!  Love that!  But, I can’t help but think the shades should have been hung higher!

This console table has been used since the Oval Office fire.  It is still used by most presidents, including the Bushes, Clinton, and Obama.  Notice the floor – at this time, it was cork.   IKE’s golf cleats ruined the cork and it was later replaced by LBJ who put down linoleum in the Oval Office.  Linoleum in the Oval Office – I swear!!!!

Here, white slipcovered sofas with twin bronze ash trays!  Notice all the nautical paintings and models.   John  Kennedy never saw his newly decorated office nor did his wife.  It was dismantled before she came back to Washington.   The decorator was Stéphane Boudin.

President Lyndon Johnson originally used the Kennedy red rug and sofa.  He added a larger coffee table.

 

Later, LBJ removed the red rug and replaced it with the FDR green rug, along with new green velvet pillows.  He did use the same JFK curtains. He added a modern 3 screen TV to watch the news.  LBJ did not use the Resolute desk, but instead had the Senate cabinet shop build him a new desk to fit his long legs.

I think LBJ would love to be alive today with the 24/7 news and all the TV channels and the internet and tweeting.  I think he would love all of that!!  The Johnson family owned the popular radio station KLBJ for decades and they also put the first TV station on air in Austin in 1952.  The family eventually sold their holdings.

Nixon originally used the FDR rug. It must have been so dirty by then!!  He kept the white curtains but added a new green trim.

Later, in what was to become a new tradition – Pat Nixon ordered a custom rug in blue and gold.  She also added gold chairs and curtains, creating a very stately office.  Besides Jimmy Carter, all further presidents have ordered their own custom rug and decor.

President Gerald Ford first used Nixon’s decor, then ordered a completely new look in yellow.  It looks like this was a temporary rug until his new one arrived.

The Carters reused the Fords new decor.  They also had a very unusual furniture arrangement with two sofas back to back.  I love this decor and color scheme.  Here, the new rug is in place.  You can see the plain linoleum that LBJ had installed to replace the ruined cork floors.

Here the Carters eat in front of the fireplace.  Actually, I kind of like this furniture arrangement.  I love the decor with the gold damask and yellow striped sofas.

 

Another view of the Ford/Carter decor with PM Golda Meir.  It’s incredible to think of all the world leaders who have visited this office!!
