Here Comes 2016: 3-New Year’s Resolutions for MBA Applicants – ¡Rise Up, Mi Gente!
This tip sounds silly and simple. I thought the same thing many years ago when I would give this as advice. However, I have seen no shortage of applicants who wait far too late to get started. Here is my thought process on why to start early: Many top MBA programs release the new application questions in the summer. If you are applying in Round 1 (due in September/October), you want to give yourself at least two months to work through the essays, letters of recommendations and all the myriad activities of applying. Applying in Round 1 gives you the added benefit that there are more available spots for you to be considered, assuming you are a competitive applicant. However, if you need additional time to balance work/life/ and the business school application process, then Round 2 will be a better option for you.
Regardless of which round you choose to apply, you will need time to decide if you need to retake your GMAT, to obtain your official college transcripts, and more importantly, you need time to have various rewrites of your essays. Your answers will be better organized if you give yourself time to think through your responses.
Moreover, you may be deciding how to present your best application and making decisions such as — what about my test scores? In these scenarios, as MBA admissions consultants, we are often asked if implementing a new approach — such as taking the GRE would be a better strategy to become more competitive. There is no easy answer for this question because it depends on the person and the schools you are applying for admission.
We even wrote an entire blog on this issue titled The GMAT vs. GRE Conversation.
Nevertheless, I will tell you that we invest a lot of time helping our clients think through this and other MBA related application issues. You will do yourself a huge favor if you allow time to be on your side…So for the first of your resolutions: Start Early!
From my experience, many MBA applicants struggle on how to best sell themselves. Expressing who you are and what you want to achieve professionally does not always come easy. While many of us are high-energy, confident individuals, we seem to clam up when asked “Why do you want to go to business school?” I asked one of my past clients why they were attracted to Harvard Business School and their answer was, “Because it’s a good school.” While true, the answer was not complete because our client had not yet thought through why HBS would help them become a stronger leader. Think through how an MBA will help you achieve your goals. Think through how you will contribute to the program, what specific aspects of the program you can leverage, and how is the school aligned with your vision as you prepare to pursue your business school education.
At the end of the day, The Most Important Part of the MBA Application is…You!
Every successful MBA applicant must go through a soul-searching journey to truly find “Your Story.” It’s a journey that you must take alone, and when completed with an open-mind, the end result will be authentic, positive and you will leave a memorable impression with the admissions committee about who you are.
Because of the nature of what we do, we speak with highly motivated, determined MBA applicants almost on a daily basis. Not all possess the full package to be “shoe-ins” if they were to apply to the Top 5 MBA programs, but almost all want to apply to Harvard, Stanford, or Wharton. While we support our clients’ ambitious desires, several want to apply to these schools for the wrong reasons. Applying to earn an MBA must be rooted on whether or not a specific school can help you achieve your goals. While a school’s reputation is important, you cannot become single focused and apply to a school solely based on brand name recognition. The school has to fit you! Take advantage of this time to connect with alumni and current students, or even better, plan trips to visit the schools and classes (make it fun by planning these trips together with a visit to see family and friends!) Fit is more than a ranking. More importantly, admissions committees will only accept applicants who have successfully conveyed why their school is a right fit for you. You must get this part right!!
One of the probing questions we ask the individuals we speak with is targeted to their financial goals. We ask, “If you were able to achieve your financial goals by attending a different school, would you still be proud of your accomplishment?” In the 10 years we have asked this question, we have not yet had anyone answer us with a “No.” The personal goals for applying to business school focus on a combination of three things: 1) advancing your career, 2) switching your career, or 3) increasing your earning potential. Many MBA programs can help you accomplish this, but it’s your job to find the perfect school that fits you.
For those of you who have great full-time jobs today, are married, are non-traditional applicants or are still exploring your options, we wrote a blog focused on Which Type of MBA Program is Right for Me? Understanding the options available to you if you are debating between Full-Time, Part-Time, or Executive MBA program will also help you figure out which school is the best fit for you. So do your research.
As 2016 gets closer, the New Year will bring new things. 2016 is your year to make strides to earn your MBA. Start early, focus on your story, find your school and you will become one more MBA graduate making a big difference in this world!

Whence Came the Musical Bow?
Wachsmann’s warning came in a 1962 article, “The Earliest Musical Instruments.” A pioneer in the study of African music, he learned firsthand the fallibility of “practical” assumptions. These include hunches concerning the musical bow, one of the oldest known instruments. “What for instance could be more plausible than that the shooting bow and the manipulation of its string led to discoveries in the sphere of harmony?” British archaeologist Henry Balfour proposed such a timeline in his 1899 treatise, The Natural History of the Musical Bow: the shooting bow was emancipated from hunting and warfare to become a musical instrument, in the process accumulating modifications.
A hunter happening upon a bow’s musical qualities is not the only possibility, nor is it the most likely. Musicologist Curt Sachs, writing twenty years before Wachsmann, declared the idea “plausible but wrong, like many plausible explanations” (The History of Musical Instruments, 1940). According to Sachs, the false assumption hinged on two biases: the practical (hunting) always precedes the aesthetic (music), and similar forms necessarily point to a shared source. He asserted that the oldest musical bows were ten-feet long, and therefore useless for shooting. Other early designs were idiochordic, with the bow and string cut from the same piece of cane and still attached at either end—an equally ineffective hunting tool. Moreover, to make a clearly audible sound, the bow needs a resonator, usually a hollowed-out gourd or the player’s mouth. This effect does not come about naturally by simply shooting an arrow.
Absent a time machine, it is impossible to know for certain if the musical bow derived from the hunting bow, the hunting bow came from the musical bow, or the two emerged independently. When an instrument’s lifespan extends so far into the unrecorded past, it is perhaps unwise to disregard any plausible theory. Nonetheless, there is enough evidence to refute a simple, mono-directional development from hunting to music. Resemblances between the modern-day weapon and instrument could reflect later interactions, rather than a conjoined evolution. After all, just because we can set up pots and pans in a drum set configuration does not mean the cookware gave rise to percussion instruments, or vice versa.

I would love to hear Chamber Music for ten foot bows, an ensemble for bison, performed in stalagmite space. Your scholarship is objective and well informed, intelligently argued. Thank you.
That would be something! Thanks for reading.

Miss Sixty is closing 10 of its remaining 20 stores in the U.S.
NEW YORK — Miss Sixty is closing 10 of its remaining 20 stores in the U.S.
The Chieti, Italy-based company suffered a series of financial setbacks during the height of the recession, entering administration, a British bankruptcy process, in the U.K. Miss Sixty in 2008 lost 19.5 million euros, or $28.6 million, compared with a profit of 9.6 million euros, or $13.1 million, in 2007.
This story first appeared in the April 22, 2010 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Last year, Miss Sixty closed two full-priced stores in Honolulu and Dallas. At the time, Miss Sixty SpA founder, chairman and creative director Wichy Hassan said the company’s U.S. stores were simply not working, in part due to mismanagement. Miss Sixty, which was a regular at New York Fashion Week for seven seasons, staged its last runway show in spring 2008.
A Miss Sixty unit on Union Square in San Francisco closed last week, as did a 7,000-square-foot flagship at 901 Broadway in the Flatiron Building here. That store housed dual brands Miss Sixty and its men’s counterpart, Energie. On Sunday, Miss Sixty will shutter a store at 386 West Broadway in SoHo, according to a New York employee. Other closings include units at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Georgetown in Washington, and an outlet store in Philadelphia.
A 13,000-square-foot, $50,000-a-month space at 8070 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, shared by Miss Sixty and Energie, will close on May 3, a store employee said. “The company is definitely not going out of business,” she added. “We’ll probably be back in six months and will open in the Beverly Center or on Robertson Boulevard.” Merchandise from the Melrose Avenue unit is being transferred to Miss Sixty stores at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, Calif., and South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif., she said.
An outlet unit at Woodbury Commons in Central Valley, N.Y., will remain open, as will stores at the Houston Galleria, Aventura Mall in Aventura, Fla., and Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. The New York store employee said Miss Sixty is revamping its real estate portfolio and eventually hopes to relocate all the stores it closed.
Faltering performance led the company to reassess its business in several global markets. In September, Miss Sixty announced it was outsourcing management of Miss Sixty and Energie stores in the U.S. to Canadian retailer Aldo Group.
Deanna Chow, director of marketing and public relations for Sixty Canada, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

When you experience excruciating pain and discomfort on your teeth, you may wonder if you need root canal treatment. This procedure is commonly known as endodontic therapy. The treatment is recommended when the nerve is infected and inflamed. That is normally caused by tooth decay, or if the tooth is cracked, broken or injured. During treatment, the dental expert will seek a way of removing the infected pulp. Thus, the dentist will drill a hole in the tooth. The hole will enable the dentist to remove the pulp and clean the canal area. After removing the pulp and cleaning, the hole will be sealed with cement. Sealing the hole prevents further damage. A visit to an endodontist or dentist is vital in determining whether you need the procedure. Patients are advised to follow the advice of the dentists. That is because they know if the procedure can completely cure your problem.
According to the dentists, tooth pain is the most common symptom of root infection. The pain can be mild or severe. That depends on the level of infection. The pain can increase during the day or when biting using the tooth. Some patients with root infection experience tooth sensitivity to hot or cold liquids and foods. The gums can show symptoms of root canal infection too. The gums will become tender and swollen near the infected area. If you experience any of these symptoms, place an ice pack on the jaw. That will assist in reducing the pain. You should then contact or visit a dentist at the earliest opportunity. The dentists have the skills and equipment to prove if the symptoms are caused by root infection.
After the treatment, the tooth is likely to last for a long time. However, that is only possible with good tooth care. The success rate of the treatment is very high. Listed below are ways of caring for the tooth after treatment.
· Practice good oral hygiene – Floss your teeth every day and brush them twice in a day. This prevents future dental infections.
· Visiting the dentists regularly – This will grant you access to expert teeth cleaning.
· Avoid chewing hard foods – Chewing hard and cold foods can lead to a breaking of teeth.

The Asgard has a great beer selection. Sister bar to The Kinsale, this place is pretty big and can accommodate larger groups. The food is so-so, but the beer is great!
Much of the decorative wood is over 150 years old. Two gigantic communal tables were designed by a local artist and provide a lovely unusual place to enjoy a pint.

On March 15, 2019, over 1.4 million students gathered in cities around the world in protest against inaction on climate change. In Boston, it had occurred outside the State House. Protesters spilled onto Beacon street themed around Climate Change. The posters featured climate-related slogans and memes. Protesters chanted slogans like “We can. We will. Pass the Green New Deal” and “We are not throwing away our shot” as speakers demanded more legislative action. Towards the end of the protest, a Jazz ensemble arrived and played as protesters accompanied their performance with a chorus of chants. At the end of the Climate Strike, protesters swarmed the State House in a lobbying effort to push their representatives to act.

Dirk Hamilton was born in Hobart, Indiana and raised in California. At 14 he played in a Chuck Berry/surf music band called The Regents. For a 45-rpm record they were about to make, bandleader Houston Box had written an instrumental called ‘Orangutan’ but needed a B-side so Dirk whipped out ‘Truck’ the night before the session. He says it was the first song he ever wrote and ‘it stunk’.
By the early 70’s, he was playing professionally in nightclubs in the San Joaquin and Central Valleys and in the San Francisco Bay Area. In ’74, he moved to LA where he eventually signed with ABC records thanks to Steely Dan producer Gary Katz who produced his first album, ‘You Can Sing on the Left or Bark on the Right’. Dirk went on to record 3 more major label records, another one for ABC (‘Alias i’) and two for Elektra (‘Meet Me at the Crux’ and ‘Thug of Love’). He toured the country with his band for 5 years receiving good and rave reviews for his records and live performances but somehow never became a huge commercial success.
In the early 80’s, Dirk traded the record business for a seat at ‘The Shamrock’ a bar below a boxing gym in Stockton, California. To this day he says it was ‘the best deal I ever made’. When he ran out of money, he painted walls and guarded sugar as a rent-a-cop at the Holly Sugar plant near Tracy, California. Eventually he became a counselor for emotionally disturbed teenagers and joined a cover band with his buddy Dave Halford. During the following two years he rediscovered his calling as a songwriter, quit his counseling job and began playing solo in coffee houses and clubs with a new band.
In the mid 80’s, Dirk self-released a cassette of original songs called ‘Big at the Blackwater’. The cassette somehow made it’s way to Italy where he was invited by Franco Ratti (president of Appaloosa records and CEO of International Record Distributers in Milan) to make records and tour in Europe.
Dirk currently lives in Texas.

Class of 1965 reunion event for Caltech's Alumni Seminar Day and Reunion Weekend, "Remembering Richard P. Feynman", May 14, 2015. Featured speakers include Kip Thorne, Robbie Vogt, Ralph Leighton, Ted Jenkins. Produced in association with Caltech Academic Media Technologies.
We are at a tipping point in medicine, for the approaches of the old medicine are already beginning to be replaced by a medicine that is predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory (P4). A major component of P4 medicine is the systems approach to disease, or systems medicine – employing global and comprehensive analyses of the disease process. Systems medicine is already creating powerful new genetic approaches to identifying disease genes; it is turning blood into a window for assessing health and disease in the individual; it is determining the genome sequences of tumors to identify targets for preexisting drugs; it is stratifying a disease into its different subtypes so that a proper impedance match against effective drugs can be achieved; it is beginning to develop entirely new, more rapid, and less expensive approaches to the creation of drugs; and it is beginning to assess wellness in individual patients.
I will discuss these revolutions in medicine with specific examples. I will also talk about some of the emerging technologies that are enabling P4 medicine – powerful sequencing machines for deciphering human genomes, a systems approach to blood diagnostics, new approaches to detecting proteins and the analyses of single cells.
P4 medicine is the convergence of systems medicine, big data analytics, and patient-activated social networks. I will discuss these latter features and predict where each of the four Ps will be in 10 years. I will then discuss the impact that P4 medicine will have on society, along with our efforts to bring P4 medicine to patients.

The ThunderWolves were victorious in a defensive struggle Friday night at Massari Arena.
Michelle Ambuul led Colorado State University-Pueblo with 15 points and 11 rebounds as the ThunderWolves improved their record to 18-8 with the 57-49 win over Western State College.
Mary Rehfeld buried a 3-pointer from the left corner with 1:26 remaining in the game to put the ThunderWolves up by six points and thwart the Western State comeback bid.
Rehfeld had been 0 for 6 from beyond the 3-point arc before connecting on the clutch shot.
After building their largest lead of the game with 8:11 left in the game at 42-29, the ThunderWolves went cold from the field and Western State responded with a 17-7 spurt to pull within three points on two free throws from Brooke Pendergraft.
The ThunderWolves held Western State’s leading scorer Amber Murray to six points on 2 of 10 shooting from the field.
“We kept Murray and Pendergraft in front of us and when we keep them in front of us we have a much better chance of containing them,” CSU-Pueblo coach Kip Drown said.
Murray torched CSU-Pueblo for 33 points in the teams’ matchup last month in Gunnison, Colo,. Western State won the Jan. 23 contest 78-67.
CSU-Pueblo’s defense was aggressive early. The ThunderWolves shut down the Western State offensive attack in the first half, holding the Mountaineers to two points during a nine-minute stretch to build a 16-7 lead with 6:40 left in the half.
CSU-Pueblo was able to get to the foul line early and often. Despite shooting only 7-for-21 from the field in the first half, the ThunderWolves knocked down 10 of their 13 free throw attempts to take a 25-19 halftime lead.
Center Caitlyn Jewell provided a spark off the CSU-Pueblo bench, scoring six points and controlling the glass with six rebounds.
Free throws were the difference down the stretch. The Mountaineers had many chances at free points to cut into the CSU-Pueblo lead, but came up empty on several attempts and finished the game shooting 10-for-18 from the charity stripe. CSU-Pueblo was consistent throughout the contest and in the last minute, finishing 19-for-26.
With one game remaining in the regular season, the ThunderWolves conference record stands at 12-6. A victory against Mesa State on Saturday night will secure the Pack a first-round home game in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference postseason tournament on Tuesday night.
Saturday’s final regular season home game will feature an appearance by Denver Nuggets mascot Rocky on “take your kid to a game” night.

Aglet loves chicken and rice with sauce. Here we are, out for dinner, having paneer makhani (don’t you even think of telling him that this particular chicken was made of cheese) and mango juice. Kid loves mango juice.
Don’t you stand on the toilet while brushing your teeth? Why the heck not?
I keep thinking this must hurt.
But this is his favorite position for watching his phone.
We had lunch with the local FCA for lunar new year, and then went and got Aglet a haircut, for a new start for a new year.

According to today's Deseret News, KTVX News recently cut 25% of its workforce and Tracy Aviary announced a "major new project." I know, I know. Fascinating stuff. However, you'll have to go to another blog for more on those breaking stories, as I'm only interested in the article about the men's Olympic basketball team. Chauncey Billups said today he doesn't want to play on the team, which apparently makes D Will even more of a lock than he already was (it truly baffles me that other point guards besides Williams and Paul were even in the runnin g, but I guess they at least had to give Kidd and Billups a shot). The Booze, as most of us probably already know, is also nearly a sure thing.
I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this. I'm pumped for some good, international Olympic ball and I'm glad two Jazzmen will represent our country. On the other hand, Boozer has had way too many season altering injuries in his career and I wouldn't mind D Will taking a breather and coming back strong next season. At some level I feel like both of those guys only have so many career games in them and I'd rather see them used up for the Jazz. Also, if some random Croat or New Zealander takes a cheap shot at one of our boys. . . so help me, but I will strongly consider never giving said country a penny of my devalued American tourist money.
Not a big fan of Deron and Boozer playing in the Olympics. It's bad enough that AK saves his best ball every year for international competition - now 4/5 of our starting lineup has off-season basketball commitments.
Let's send Harpring and Hart in their place.
When players don't take time off, their chance of injury goes way up. I hope the injury bug stays away from Deron and Booze. I also think Boozer's inclusion on the Olympic team further inflates his value. Now may be the best time to unload him if we can get something good in return.

Evelyn Ruppert and Digital Interaction Designer Dawid Górny recently published an essay on the platform, Medium.com. ‘Reflections on a collaboration: How do we know who we are?‘ is a 4-part essay and series of visualisations about how they collaborated to design an interactive installation to visualise Europe as part of the ‘Who are We?’ programme curated by a group of Tate Exchange Associates, London, UK during the week of 14–19 March 2017.
posing another one related to their interests in big data, digital technologies and visualisation: ‘How do we know who we are? as Europeans. Through the example of government migration data, they explore how digital technologies and data are evermore central to narratives about who we are and how we are known. How then might we visualise Europe differently is a question they take up in Part 2 which outlines how they brought their different interests together to develop six interrelated conceptual and design questions to guide visualisation experiments.
Part 3 then discusses how t hey engaged with these questions through a series of experiments and prototypes for visualising Europe differently. In the final Part 4 they illustrate how they brought together these issues, questions and experiments in a their installation at the Tate Exchange.
Evelyn and Dawid previously published a summary and short version of this essay in openDemocracy.

Clearly there are many different types of diets that people follow. The right diet might be a combination of diets. According to the top athletes, the best diet is the one that works best for you and your goals.
Everyone is unique and so are the health needs of every individual. When it comes to a diet, what is best for you depends on the health goals you are trying to achieve. Nothing illustrates this better than taking a look at a few different athlete diet plans.
Ryan started his career fairly young. In his early days his only concern was his daily caloric intake. Swimming is a sport that burns a lot of calories, and Ryan strove to consume 8000 to 10000 daily. He used to get those calories in what ever form he chose, typically in the form of fast food. These days he strives to achieve his daily caloric goals with healthier foods like lean meats and vegetables.
Scott is a proponent of the plant based diet. His diet is a high-protein, vegetarian diet. Foods like cashew butters, tofu, seaweed, and quinoa are the desired fanfare for Scott to achieve his dietary goals.
Dean favors a diet that is a mixture of paleo, raw pescatarian, and Mediterranean diets. He made the switch after years of bad eating. With new found clean eating habits, he enjoys consuming full-fat, Greek yogurt, wild Pacific salmon, bananas, and a energy bar consisting of sesame seeds and raw honey.
Hafthor's daily dietary goal, as a strong man, is to eat as much as possible. When training, Hafthor consumes up to 8 pounds of food per day. His daily consumption includes 900 grams of beef, 500 grams of salmon, 400 grams of chicken, and more than 1500 grams of fruits and vegetables. In addition to this, he consumes several raw eggs and drinks plenty of water. If he is short on calories, he will make those calories up by drinking more fruit juice.
Laird has one of the more relaxed attitudes towards diet, for an older athlete. For Laird, it is important to avoid restricting foods as he believes that it diminishes your self-control for these foods. Instead, he simple tries to avoid alcohol, refined sugars and flours, and processed foods. He will occasionally indulge in things that he should not, but chooses not to place extremes stigmas on diet cheats.

A police officer arrested for allegedly shooting a driver who failed to pay a bribe on Sunday tried to evade custody yesterday by jumping from the back of the police car transporting him and his accomplice from court.
The handcuffed suspect, Yu Sokhea, tried to escape as the car was driving through Tuol Kork district – on the way back to the police station from the Phnom Penh Municipal Court where the duo were questioned yesterday morning.
Sokhea hid in a pond – but to no avail. After just 20 minutes he was discovered and arrested once again, said Phnom Penh deputy police chief Chuon Narin.
Yu Sokhea, a municipal anti-drug officer, and Kong Dara, an officer in Russey Keo’s Chraing Chamreh commune, were arrested on Monday after Sokhea allegedly shot Dy Vichey when the driver refused to pay a 2,000 riel ($0.50) bribe at an unofficial checkpoint the pair had set up.
Both officers were promptly dismissed from their positions and arrested.
Narin said Phnom Penh Municipal Court prosecutors had questioned the two suspects in the morning and had asked officers to take them back to the station before bringing them back for a separate interrogation in the afternoon. The men were remanded to police custody last night and are expected to be charged today following further questioning.
According to Anrin, Sokhea told officers that he tried to escape because he did not want to go to jail and had no money to compensate the victim.
The victim, Vichey, is currently being treated at Calmette hospital. Vichey’s brother, Dy Sopheak told the Post the 29-year-old was still recovering from surgery to remove a bullet from his chest.
“My brother remains in poor condition,” Sopheak said, adding that his brother is seeking $8,000 in compensation.
Kirth Chantharith, spokesman for the National Police, insisted the police take a tough stand against officers who discharge their weapons irresponsibly.

In late October 2018, the National Energy Board (NEB) issued a letter indicating that the NEB will consider a jurisdictional challenge over whether the NEB must approve the Coastal GasLink Pipeline (CGLP) that would serve the recently-confirmed LNG Canada project. The CGLP is a proposed 670-km natural gas pipeline entirely within the province of British Columbia that would supply the LNG Canada project. The CGLP was authorized by and is currently regulated by the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission (BCOGC). The NEB proceeding was prompted by an application by Michael Sawyer, who argues that the CGLP, along with the existing NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) System, comprise a single federal undertaking and is therefore subject to federal regulation (NEB oversight).
In argument on the preliminary question of whether his application should proceed, Mr. Sawyer referred to and relied upon a recent Federal Court of Appeal decision in a case related to the NEB’s jurisdiction over the proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (PRGTP). That decision (which was also prompted by Mr. Sawyer) found that there was a (prima facie) case that the PRGTP appeared to be functionally integrated with federally-regulated works (including the NGTL system) that would also be part of the planned supply to an LNG facility. The Federal Court of Appeal indicated that there was an arguable (prima facie) case that the PRGTP would be functionally integrated with a federal undertaking and subject to the NEB Act. (For a fuller discussion of the earlier case, see our previous post). The Federal Court of Appeal remitted the PRGTP case back to the NEB for a determination on the jurisdictional issue. However, because the PRGTP is not moving forward (as the associated LNG project is not proceeding), the NEB did not determine the jurisdictional issue.
In the current CGLP case, the NEB found that there is a prima facie case that the CGLP may form part of a federal undertaking and could be subject to regulation under the NEB Act. This means that the jurisdictional question will proceed to a full hearing. The NEB’s decision is based on a number of factors that indicate functional integration and common management, control and direction of the CGLP and the NGTL System.
As a next step, the NEB will determine what parties have standing to participate in the hearing of the jurisdictional question. Once that is decided, the NEB will issue information about the next steps in the process.

New Delhi: Central government will raise the minimum pay from current Rs 18,000, which was recommended by the 7th Pay Commission, National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) chief Shiv Gopal Mishra said in a Facebook post on Monday, as Home Minister Rajnath Singh tries to defuse discontent among central government employees ahead of general elections 2019.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh talked with interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal by phone to solve the pay hike and old pension scheme issues.
The NJCA is an umbrella organisation of various central government employees’ unions, including Railways, post and telegraph and Income Tax.
The central government employees and their families will be better off following the increase in the minimum pay that takes ahead of general elections in 2019.
Mishra requested Rajnath Singh to increase the salaries and to restore old pension for employees, when Home Minister called him over these issues.
Since both matters are related to the finance ministry, the minister talked with interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal by phone to solve the issues and asked not to ignore employees’ displeasure.
Rajnath Singh has also called a meeting of the central government employees unions with Goyal on February 8, which shows the government is serious about pay hike and restoration of old pension, according to Mishra’s posting in Facebook.
However, the finance ministry made it clear on Wednesday that the government has no intention to hike pay and to restore the old pension scheme.
The central government employees unions have been demanding minimum pay Rs 26,000 instead of Rs 18,000 and asked to raising fitment factor 3.68 times from current 2.57 times after implementation of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.
They are also demanding for restoration of General Provident Fund (GPF) with old pension and family pension system which was replaced with contribution-based New Pension System (NPS) in 2004.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh will meet interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal and the central government employees unions on February 8 to discuss possible sops for employees ahead of the 2019 general election — a clear indication that the BJP government is well on course to responding to its employees related crisis.
Raising the minimum pay is part of BJP government’s ambitious agenda to capitalize its result in the coming elections where it will be challenging for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party.
It is to be noted that the government might find it difficult to move back to old pension system which was discontinued due to its huge fiscal burden.

The updates told publishers that posts had failed to send “due to trouble getting a response from Facebook”. In fact, the posts are publishing, but receiving little to no engagement.
Facebook’s head of news partnerships, Nick Wrenn, acknowledged the malfunction when responding to The Guardian’s Chris Moran this morning on Twitter.
“Any help?” Moran wrote, after highlighting that online publishers including The Guardian, Bloomberg and HuffPost were all affected by the Facebook outage.
Some outlets have stated that they will not post any further content to Facebook until the engagement issue is resolved.
This setback comes just days after Facebook pledged to prioritise “trustworthy” news and local news sources.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that his company would use surveys to determine which outlets users of the platform considered to be the most unbiased and reliable.
Speaking on Friday, he said that he expected the amount of news on Facebook to eventually drop by around 20 per cent, occupying around four per cent of the feed, as opposed to five.
Earlier this month, the media industry was rocked by news that Facebook planned to alter its algorithm to favour posts from friends and family over content from media organisations and brands.

The internet has become a great place for mixtapes to be produced and distributed. Certainly, it was a great way for artists such as Nicki Minaj and the like to gain attention. The issue we now have is being able to wade through the sheer quantity that’s out there, which is no mean feat. Giant has created a slick mixtape with shining production values, in the shape of ‘Hibernation’.
After an atmospheric intro track, ‘Now or Never’ hits hard and fast, calling out to “Put your hands in the air if you’re with me here, it’s now or never”. There’s a sharp edge to the vocal, with a hint of Mike Shinoda in its nod to rock.
‘Do It All Together’ draws on R&B influences, a smooth and slightly sleazy number dripping in auto-tune, with more R&B schmoozing on ‘One Step Closer’, while ‘Person I’ve Become’ pulls in latin tones alongside more Linkin Park style vocals.
‘So Gone’ is a more unassuming piece. Mid-tempo and easy going, the raps are steady and smooth. ‘If Only’ is darker in tone, with rumbling bass and quirky synths running underneath the understated vocals.
Hibernation is a mixtape with a good variety to get stuck into, pulling in a range of styles but maintaining a consistency throughout. The female vocal on ‘Perfect’ is a nice touch, lifting things and offsetting the otherwise testosterone fuelled stylings.
Sinima Beats with Giant et al have produced a mixtape worth investigating. It’s free, so what have you got to lose?

Well the results were read out by the comps director John Hudson at the presentation dinner. The winners and scores were kept under wraps until after dinner and the excitement and anxiety rose as the evening came to its climax.
The winners are Terry Cubley Open Class, Matthew Scutter Standard Class and Greg Jackson Club Class. Some notable items are worth a mention; Grant Hudson won the day in Standard class in his LS4 at an amazing 118 kph, Wki Peebinga Taplan East Lake Cullulleraine Wki triangle. Open did the same task but it was a 3 hour AAT won by Craig Vinall. Club class task was Peebinga Lindsay River Wki as a 3 hour AAT.
Many complimentary comments have been received in regard to the accuracy of the weather predictions and the equally challenging tasks so well done to Peter Robertson and Craig Vinall and the assistance they had each day from the pilot input. The scoring system at this state comp was very professionaly done: John Ridge would coordinate with the scorer each day. Mandy & Peter Temple have putting together a good looking SAGA site that will be used by future state competition organisers. Thanks to the Waikerie organising committee and we look forward to the Club Class Nationals at Waikerie next year; starting on the 1st of January 2014 with a practise day.
Many of the flights are also being logged on the OLC. Good work guys and gal.
AAT of 2 hours as the wind was expected to increase in strength during the afternoon. Intrepid day for me as the return leg is over Renmark and the lakes area. Waikerie Meribah, Renmark,Wki. Standard class left last and were able to pick up the best part of the day. Matthew Scutter won the day with a terrific flight passing Meribah and running the scrub line on both return legs, brilliant….. The thermals were difficult to work as they appeared to be elongated and lift was not consistant around the turn. Good lift on one side and sink on the other. Very few outlandings for this comp so the task setters appear to be getting it right for this level of competition.

Welcome to Maltby Redwood Academy.
As well as this website, the new signage is on the gates and the new computers and whiteboards are in the classrooms. This marks the start of an exciting new phase in the life of our school and I hope you will enjoy seeing the changes and developments which take place over the coming weeks and months. The changes will be gradual and well thought through. This is an 'evolution' not 'revolution' and we will make sure we keep the core of what makes Redwood such a special place to be.

The Early Years Foundation Stage makes a crucial contribution to children’s early development and learning. We provide children with a rich variety of teaching and learning experiences that are appropriate to their needs. The Foundation Stage is all about developing the key learning skills such as speaking and listening, concentration, attitudes to learning including the social and emotional aspects of learning. We offer exciting areas for independent child initiated activities and high-quality teaching and learning both indoors and outdoors and creative development is constantly extended with a variety of art and music opportunities and imaginative play. We encourage children towards reading, communication and mathematical skills from the very beginning. Much of this earlier learning is achieved through carefully structured play. Young children who cannot read or write often express their ideas and feelings through play. It is an important way of developing new skills and building up relationships with other children both individually and in groups. This first year of school life is so important and we are proud of the provision that is made for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

- forming or joining a correct peer group.
I have now set myself on a crusade, mostly through this blog, to ensure that my children learn these two lessons much earlier in their lives.
There have been other mistakes. Lots of them. Perhaps writing about them may help others. The costlier ones will be covered here, in no particular order.
I have never been “broke” since I started working, Thank God. This has not been due to adroit financial management, but thankfully, as a direct result of my background. I come from a poor family. And the early difficult years have been embedded deeply into my psyche.
Though I have always spent less than I earned, there was no system to it. There were no investments systematic or otherwise.
I started saving I think, around the time, my second girl was born. Not saving what I should, rather an amount that I thought I could “afford”. I have never done a spending budget, personal or family until recently.
We may think we know where our money is going, but believe me, we are only fooling ourselves. Though payments like mortgage payments, insurances etc., can be tracked, it is the expenses in the “others” category that end up draining us.
By drawing up a budget, our expenses can be broken up into several categories and tracked category by category. This way, the management is less complicated and drainers can be identified and tackled.
For example, my family now knows the amount we spend on phone bills. It is unduly high and is being reduced now.
Club subscriptions that we have paid for years while hardly using them have been cancelled.
Petrol bills have been cut down by converting the car into a NGV.
The danger of not having a budget is that you don’t quite realize where the money is going and blame the wrong people or look at the wrong reasons.
I used to have some quite messy quarrels with my wife over this. Only after the budget was drawn up and discussed have we both realized where our biggest drainers were.
We had debt levels that were too high. This led us to seek cheaper financing sources that did not work out. So now we are disposing off our investment property.
I do believe that the actions taken since drawing up our budget will have a lot more positive impact on my family’s financial well being than the steps taken in the last 3 years!
As an additional bonus, now there is so much better alignment between my wife and me, and in fact, the children in managing our finances.
Don’t repeat my mistake, please draw up your budget. Monitor your spending. Even if it is only for keeping you informed, do it.
And if it is “how to budget” or more “why must budget” information that you need, please read this excellent and most timely post by Free Money Finance.
My wife and I have been happily married for 24 years now.
Ever since an almost tragic accident happened to our second girl, when she was 3 months old, my wife and I decided that she would be a full time mother and home manager, whilst I brought home the bacon, so to speak.
It was accepted that I’ll be the general and she the major. So she made all the major decisions, while I made the general decisions.
Though we never make any significant purchases without consulting each other, (now we consult our two elder girls, too), my wife and I have never sat down and drawn up a family budget together.
I took the plunge this year.
c) Millionaire Mommy Next Door’s “How to make money management a family affair”.
I am the accountant in the family, so I drew up the monthly list of expenses, expected for 2008, and discussed it with my wife. (I think this is also the first time, my wife has a clear and complete understanding of the expenses of our family).
We have now agreed that we shall have a budget day every month to review actuals against budget.
I am glad and actually feel a sense of relief that we have done this. I am looking forward to the day when the family is comfortable with the monthly budget day, and we can then move to Stage 2 - Implementing the Millionaire Mommy’s great ideas to make our family money management a family affair.
I am sure that many couples do not have family budgets. Perhaps because of earlier experiences or disagreements on spending etc. After all women and men do not think alike, do they?
I ask you to persevere. I am sure only good can come out of this joint facing of the major issue of family expenses.

Jesus was the wisest man who ever lived.
Parables - stories Jesus’ told to provoke new thought and new ways of living - were one of the primary ways he imparted truth to the world around him.
He often taught in parables to people who already thought they knew the truth; who already believed they were living “God’s way;” who believed they knew God’s heart and character. It is difficult to teach those who already think they know. Thus, Jesus used arresting stories about everyday life to shock his listeners into seeing God, reality and life in a new way.
The brilliant thing about Jesus’ parables is that though the truths they contain are timeless and deep, most could be understood by the ordinary men and women of his day. At the same time, we can never plumb their depths. However, the purpose of parables was never mere head-knowledge, but always action; always a new way of living in light of who God is and who we are. Parables were (and still are) invitations into life in the Kingdom of God.
We are excited to spend the entire summer exploring the parables of Jesus.
Why did Jesus teach this parable?
What was the main point?
How did Jesus’ listeners understand it?
How should we understand it?
Jesus did not only die for us; He lived for us, too. His teachings are at the very core of what we believe, and should mark how we live our earthly lives. Their truths are to be imprinted on our hearts.
So join us this summer!
Let’s open Jesus’ greatest stories; each one an invitation to a whole new way of life!

When I find myself dreaming of strolling the streets of Paris, café au lait in hand, but then realize I'm actually located in West L.A. (with no vacation in sight), then I resort to the next best thing: dressing up and going to the best French restaurant in town. The Helms Bakery District of L.A. doesn't get a lot of fanfare but it has one of my favorite French spots, La Dijonaise Café.
For the non-occasion, I wore a classic full black skirt with a white button-up. It’s simple and comfortable — perfect for an afternoon of eating and catching up with a girlfriend. As any style blogger will tell you, carrying a large bag is a must when you need to make room for your camera. I chose this structured satchel, which stays in line with the B&W palette I've got going on. To keep things interesting, I let my bright pink lips do all the talking.

As expected, this year Apple will launch the most anticipated smartphone – iPhone 8. Will this model help Apple regain sales dropped in the last year because the design of the iPhone in the past 3 years No signify ant changes and become boring?
Are iPhone 8 sales okay?
Apple’s sales are expected to increase slightly by the end of the second quarter, as all eyes are on their way to wait for the next-generation iPhone to arrive.
This year, as usual, users in general and smartphone lovers in particular will not be indifferent to the next generation of iPhone. According to estimates by investment firm Stifel Nicolaus, sales to the iPhone will increase to 52.2 million units compared to 51.2 million last year.
Often, analysts will not make their assessments until sales end at the end of June (the final stage before the next generation).
So far, the latest iPhone dual-boot Apple has only sold two quarters and only a few months to assess the sales of the duo. The reason for such calculations is also because the new iPhone is usually launched in early September.
But this year, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone, perhaps everything will be different. As mentioned above, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus still hold mission critical to Apple’s revenue (more than 2/3 of revenue from the duo), and will also help them regain 3 / 4 sales slump last year.
Not long ago, Apple introduced the iPhone 7 Red and iPhone 7 Plus Red, their first red iPhone sold to support the HIV / AIDS prevention program in Africa.
In parallel, they also increased their iPhone SE and upgraded the iPad Pro 9.7 inch. Although sales of the iPhone have decreased or not increased much, these numbers are still the desire of many other companies.
And in the first quarter of sales (ending in December 2016), Apple reported the largest iPhone ever sold, up to 78.3 million units.
Design of the iPhone 8 will beat all opponents?
No advertising or running, consumers and fans will find their own iPhone. Especially in Europe, where advertising and marketing decisions are so much and the success of a firm or a line of smartphones. However, Apple and iPhone are the exception!
But, Apple is forced to make upgrades to attract more users. If only standing still, the face to move forward, they will one day be crossed. So next generation iPhone will be equipped with OLED screen with high brightness, thinner screen border or wireless charging technology.
At the present time, Apple has not had a big change in design over the past three years, perhaps the most striking difference being the iPhone 7 Plus with dual cameras for professional-looking scans. Many analysts believe that the iPhone 8 will create a big revolution for the smartphone market and the user’s purchasing power will also increase accordingly.
According to Horace Dediu, a market researcher, every two years, Apple will be inclined to change the design of its iPhone, so that users will be able to upgrade their iPhones.
According to the analyst, he thinks the next iPhone will be the best iPhone ever. Sure, people can not wait any longer to use the next iPhone.
Anyway, Apple is still one of the most successful manufacturers to date. And the iPhone still occupies a certain place in the hearts of consumers, especially the European.
A big company like Apple that can not see its lack of innovation like that? Maybe it’s just a “conspiracy” to make a big hit for the new iPhone?

Karachi is the financial heart of Pakistan and the seventh largest city in the world.
With mega malls and a thriving trade, the city is thought to be the fastest developing metropolitan city in the country, setting new standards of progress and advancement for other cities around the country.
For about 30 years, people of Karachi had to live up amidst bullets, riddled walls bearing sectarian graffiti, frequent bouts of looting, riots, acts of terrorism, daily civil unrest and violence that took lives of half a dozen people daily but the Rangers operation during last three years had yielded tremendous results, and today’s Karachi was competently different from what it was until before 2013.
Positive results of the operation are noticeable from the improved peace situation of the metropolis.
Karachi’s political scene, however, still looks unpredictable as the general election approaches, political parties are gearing up for contesting for Karachi.
For the first time since 1988 no one knows which party will grab the ownership of Karachi, which party will fill the possible vacuum, created due to a split within the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
The MQM which claimed the ownership of Karachi since 1988 failed to resolve multiple issues of Karachi, including poor law and order situation, a damaged infrastructure, unclean drinking water and electricity problems.
This election will provide a level playing field for most of the parties which may reshape the political discourse in Karachi. A party that vows to resolve the issues of Karachi can gain the support of Karachities. This general election would be a big test for all the parties.
People of Karachi, most of whom voted for MQM for so many years will take a shift in the election this time, it would be the test for all.
Chances are there that it may take a shift from three decades of Mohajir politics to Karachi politics.
It will be a big test of new political entity like Pak-Sarzameen Party (PSP), the two factions of MQM-Pakistan and the older ones like Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JI).
In 2013 General Election getting more than eight hundred thousand votes, Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf will also face big test due to poor organizational setup in the city.
PPP can create history and can improve its position from traditional two or three National Assembly Seats.
The decision of PTI hairman Imran Khan to contest the upcoming elections from Karachi comes as a shock to their opponents.
Imran Khan actually has a shot at winning. Only time will tell if Imran can conquer Karachi or not but this decision is a strong political move for the PTI, which is why the party trying to bolster its presence in the city before the upcoming general elections.
Imran Khan has started a campaign promising to revive Karachi, this vision of a modern and developed Karachi will surely appeal to the entire city.
They are going door to door and seeking support from people of Karachi. The way Imran Khan getting great response from people of Karachi during latest visit on membership campaign, this time their vote bank will be stronger as compare to 2013.
However, to win Karachi, the PTI will need a dedicated team and a solid campaign more than anything. Therefore, the need of the hour is to create an atmosphere of goodwill and health relationship.
While PPP always showed its presence in Karachi and more or less maintained its vote bank retained one or two NA seats.
This time PPP is optimistic of winning at least five to six seats knowing that delimitation of constituencies in Karachi always provide come benefits to the PPP.
It is not only the real battle for Karachi but also for Karachi’s ownership.
Often called Mini Pakistan, Karachi is a city housing people from almost every province of Pakistan along with a large population of Mohajirs. Constituencies are also sharply divided on the same lines.
Thus, the party with a better organizational setup with better network and whoever show better sense of belonging to city, can win Karachi.

My grandmother’s first job was that of schoolteacher in a country schoolhouse. She did many things after that, including a stint as a Rosie the Riveter at Boeing during World War II. In 1983, at the service honoring her long and storied life, my gramma’s great-nephew Tom told me that he had been one of her students in that country schoolhouse, more than a half-century earlier. He said that as soon as she recognized he was struggling with reading, she worked with him until he became a confident reader. By the time I met him, Tom was retired from a successful career in the Air Force that had taken him all over the world. He credited my grandmother — his second-grade teacher — with changing his life forever.

The first time I attended Mass while studying abroad in Italy six years ago, I was nearly trampled in the sudden surge forward at Holy Communion. The nice, familiar, genteel, orderly lines cultivated through years of practice back home in the States? Totally abandoned. At first, I thought it was just an Italian thing, like the frenetic and bewildering rush for one’s daily cappuccino e cornetto in the cramped, boisterous cafes of Rome; but it happened again, in Berlin, London, Jerusalem, Paris, and Sydney, and I continue to see it on a daily basis in my current parish in Wexford, Ireland.
Initially disoriented and slightly put-off by the unceremonious, mad dash towards the altar, in time I became struck by the same sharp and visceral tug towards the sacrament that the rest of assembly felt. I began to understand–sure, why wait and go through the rigmarole of polite, solemn procession, faux-patiently waiting in line, eyes piously cast downward, when you can go and receive the Lord in the very instant you wish (although preferably while not knocking anyone else down along the way)?
Never let me be parted from you. Never let me be separated from you by either not partaking in this holy sacrament (unless I am in a state of mortal sin), or by waiting in my pew longer than is really necessary. May the Eucharist be protection for me in mind and body, and may it be a healing remedy. When a family member falls ill, do we not rush to call a doctor, or to gather medicine for them so that they can be healed? This survival instinct can be applied to our relationship with Christ: when we are ill in mind or spirit, we rush to our Lord, the Divine Physician, in order to find healing, comfort, and peace.
Pope Francis has referred to the Church as akin to a field hospital after battle–tending the wounded, nourishing the brokenhearted, warming the hearts of the faithful in her nearness and love. I see this every single day at Mass in the rush towards Communion; the longing for nourishment and warmth, when the faithful receive “the bread of heaven” and “the cup of salvation,” the body and blood of Christ who offered himself for the life of the world (John 6:51). Through Holy Communion, the gentleman in his late 80s I often see hobbling painfully, doggedly in line receives the strength to carry on; the bereaved are showered with abounding love and consolation; the new immigrant families in the parish find peace and unity within the congregation assembled for worship, the catholic Church made visible. In Holy Communion, the tired and the lonely, the broken and betrayed lift their eyes and their hearts to the tender caress of Christ’s healing touch in the Eucharist.
Christ loved us “to the end,” and gave us the Eucharist so that we might love him likewise (John 13:1). The Eucharist, when received at the end of life in viaticum, is the sacrament of passing over from death to life. On a daily and weekly basis, it is a sacrament that helps us prepare for our heavenly homeland, and provides spiritual sustenance while we make our earthly pilgrimage.
“Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking,” St. Irenaeus said.1 And he’s right! In the Communion Rite, we dare to say the words our Savior taught us; we implore that the reception of Christ’s Body and Blood in the Eucharist be a protection against and remedy for life’s very real pain and suffering. The prayers within the Communion Rite express our longing to be protected and nourished, and we come away from the Mass healed, unified, enlightened, and ready to face the world, our hearts inflamed by the love of Christ. And so, may the Body and Blood of Christ keep us safe for eternal life.
1St. Irenaeus, Adv haeres. 4, 18, 5: PG 7/1, 1028.
Laura Taylor, M.T.S., is House Director of the Teach Bhríde (House of Brigid) postgraduate service program in Wexford, Ireland. She will be enrolling in the Ph.D. program in Liturgical Studies at the University of Notre Dame this fall.

When a retail mishap causes Maria’s daughters to get upset, Maria comes on strong—then catches herself and uses a simple skill to recover.
How do you handle a customer confrontation when YOU are the customer?
Maria had moved with her family to a new town. Eager to help her two daughters settle in, she took them to the mall one afternoon. They hadn’t window shopped long before the kids spotted a store that offered build-your-own teddy bears. They shrieked with excitement. They pointed and pleaded and pulled at Maria’s sleeves. “Ok, ok,” Maria said, and the trio made their way into the store.
Ninety minutes and $400 dollars later, they left, children beaming with new teddy bears and Mom feeling proud and confident that living in their new town was going to be great.
Then they got home. The kids begin to cry with disappointment. The birth certificates for their ursine toys had large black streaks across them, compliments of a faulty printer. Maria quickly became the protective Mama Bear, and charged off to confront the store clerk.

Blending elegance with an edge, the work of this Athens, Georgia-based photographer is both painterly and heroic.
On a recent trip to the United Kingdom, photographer Jim Fiscus was questioned by an immigration agent about the 18 times he’d visited the country in the last 24 months. Stunned, he suddenly realized just how much he’d been traveling. Over the last four years, his photographs for HBO, Showtime, FX Networks, Channel 4, U.K. and A&E have garnered worldwide attention, and Fiscus, being the driven photographer that he is, takes his job seriously—and loves every moment of it.
Fiscus is quiet and charming, a true Southern gentleman. It’s easy to see how he’s able to work with a variety of personalities in the entertainment industry to produce unique results. He’s enthusiastic about not just making great pictures, but telling stories. His subjects participate in often complex compositions, rather than simply have their portraits taken.
Despite traveling frequently to London, New York, Los Angeles as well as remote and exotic locations for work, his feet are firmly planted in Athens, Georgia.
According to Fiscus, his start in photography was typical. It began with the high school yearbook class in the tenth grade. He liked photography and built himself a darkroom. “I was smart and unfocused, and that was the one thing I loved doing,” he recalls.
After high school, he went on to East Texas University to study under Jim Newberry, and to take some business classes at his father’s urging. But after a summer spent working at an Alaskan fish cannery and taking pictures, Fiscus knew he wanted to focus solely on photography. His father supported him to a certain extent, but wasn’t crazy about his new direction. So Jim became a plumber to help pay for school. “Other than plumbing, I’ve only done photography. That’s my choice: succeed at this or become a plumber. It was an easy choice,” he says with a laugh.
With recognition, came requests for that “look,” but by that time Fiscus was ready to move on, to evolve once more. Bill Stockland, his rep, advised him to stick with what he was doing. “I wanted to do all of the other things that I’m doing now, cyan subtones, etc.,” he explains. Stockland agreed with him, but the work was brand new to people calling in his book, and he wisely advised Fiscus to have a consistent message; exposure is good, but must be managed properly.
“He’s a master at lighting and his setups are extremely precise and complex, so his production schedule is always very thoroughly planned out well in advance,” says Showtime’s Merritt. “Though he maintains a very controlled set, he also keeps things light, plays great music and shoots quickly; as a result there’s a good mood and energy on the set and talent doesn’t get bored.
Fiscus enjoys it so much that when he received a phone call from Brett Foraker, creative director of 4Creative in London, on the Wednesday before Christmas asking him to look at some Degas paintings and to get across the pond fast, he did. “We flew on Friday, prepped on Saturday, shot on Sunday, and flew home for Christmas Eve. It was insane.” He was there to shoot the actors of Greenwing, and it was not a normal situation for Fiscus, who usually has plenty of time for preproduction before walking into a shoot with eight celebrities (read variables).
“Working with Jim is a collaboration in every sense of the word. He brings equal amounts of wit and discipline to every job,” says Foraker. “Having worked with him several times now, the briefing process has become incredibly casual. We show him some ‘scamps’ and give him a couple of references and off he goes. He will send back reference material of his own and begin tweaking compositions to get the most impactful frame he can. No matter what curve-balls he is thrown he never loses track of his end goal, to produce eye-catching, page-stopping images. I think we are seeing one of the great journeys in modern photography,” he concludes.
A Minneapolis, Minnesota-based designer who creates success on her own terms.
Play is a key element in the work of this San Francisco Bay Area photographer.

Mobile owners in the UK, Germany and France prefer to receive SMS-based promotions over any other mobile channels, according to research published by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA).
The study, conducted on behalf of the DMA which surveyed 4,400 mobile owners in Europe’s 3 largest economies as well as the US, showed that 38% of UK mobile owners prefer to receive promotional offers by SMS compared to 15% who favour the mobile web.
The figures were higher for those who prefer to receive promotional SMS in Germany and France, with 58% and 60% respectively naming SMS as their preferred channel for receiving mobile promotions.
The study also found that 40% of all UK mobile owners are interested in being contacted via mobile by advertisers and promoters.
Although smartphone penetration is very high in these countries, this study shows that mobile owners still prefer receiving SMS promotions.

The Moving Assistance Program was developed to provide moving assistance to individuals or families who financially can not afford to physically move to a better or safer living condition. The Moving Assistance Program (MAP) does not have a dedicated staff so they rely on volunteers within the Sioux Falls community to staff the moving teams. MAP is unable to meet immediate crisis needs since it needs 1 to 2 weeks to evaluate moves and organize a moving team. MAP DOES NOT: provide financial assistance of any kind, or provide packing or unpacking support. STEPS FOLLOWED FOR EACH MOVE REQUEST: Move must be within the city limits of Sioux Falls, SD; MAP needs 1 to 2 weeks advance notice for all moves; Once request is made, usually within 24 to 48 hours, MAP's on call representative will call and will fill out an application over the phone. MAP needs to know your current address and the confirmed and approved location to move to. This includes the landlord name and contact numbers. MAP will do an on site inspection of current address to evaluate the move, determine equipment, the number of volunteers needed, and what move dates MAP has open. MAP only does one move per week on Saturday mornings, starting around 9 AM CST. Most moves are less then 3 hours. You must be completely packed and in possession of the new residence key prior to the arrival of the moving team. MAP only loads from one residence or storage unit and takes belongings to the new residence. Applicants are required to pack their own possessions.

Most people think that it’s too difficult to design your own website, but with the proper knowledge it can be a breeze. There are a variety of programs available to make your page look great. Read this article for advice on website creation.
Avoid frames! The are very 90’s. While they worked well back then, they had many flaws. Using frames makes it hard for viewers to bookmark your website and can make scrolling a chore. There are more modern ways to build layouts today.
Never underestimate the value of a site that is simple for visitors to navigate. Visitors should be able to locate clear, unambiguous links quickly and easily. You can also improve your website’s navigation by using simple menus. Make sure that links to your main pages are on each page in your site so people can find their way no matter where they are.
You have access to a number of different programs to help you do this. These professional programs are easy to use and can help you make beautiful sites faster. You site will not have a lot of visitors if it doesn’t look good.
To make a more attractive website, try using your own pictures. Putting pictures on a website adds a more personal touch and helps the user relate better to your information. People will spend more time on your site looking around when they see pictures they want to click on.
You should always make sure to implement a way that users can submit feedback to you about your website. You will find out if a link is broken or if a page is not loading properly. Getting visitors to your site to feel they are involved is a smart way to be certain they are going to go to your site again.
The content on your website should be of high quality and engaging to your target audience. While how your design looks is important, visitors will not return if there is no content worth reading. Useful, informative content which matches what visitors are looking for will ensure your visitor numbers continue to increase.
As you add images, use ALT tags. These tags help describe images for those that use graphic-disabled browsers and for those that are visually impaired and who use tools to translate the images to voice. If you use images as links, the ALT tags will give you a way to describe the links’ behaviors. ALT tags are also used by crawlers for search engines, so they can even boost your search ranking.
You must be sure that your site is optimized properly so that it can be viewed in all browsers. Everyone loves to hate Internet Explorer, but the sad fact is that a large minority of internet users still use these old versions of IE. You will have to use workarounds when dealing with this issue, so keep that in mind. You should read up on the frustrating “box model bug” that has plagued IE for a long time.
You constantly want to test your page to ensure it is functioning well. You need to use your website as a reader would in usability tests early in the design process. That will allow you to make necessary design changes during the build process.
As previously mentioned, today there are lots of user-friendly software programs available. If you can follow some simple instructions then you too can enter the world of web page design. Take these tips and go forward secure in the knowledge that you have a good base from which to work.
Many people are interested in Affordable web design, but many also do not have the knowledge necessary on the topic. This article can help jump start your learning experience. Now, all you have to do is use this article’s tips.

MADRID (AP) — The European Union’s five biggest economies, including Germany and Britain, have agreed to share information on company ownership and are urging other nations to do the same to make it harder for criminals and tax cheats to avoid the law.
The move announced late Thursday comes as the leak of the so-called Panama Papers claimed another political casualty: Spain’s acting industry minister resigned after his name was linked to offshore companies. Iceland’s prime minister was forced to resign earlier this month as a result of the leak.
Britain’s Treasury chief George Osborne and his counterparts in Germany, France, Italy and Spain have agreed to share information on the beneficial ownership of companies. In addition, they have written to other leaders of the Group of 20 most advanced economies, urging progress toward a global information exchange that will “lift the veil of secrecy” that criminals hide under. Osborne described the deal as a breakthrough.
The leak of documents from a Panama-based law firm have placed tax evasion at the top of the international agenda by disclosing how the elite use shell companies to dodge financial obligations. It has sent off reverberations globally, forcing unprecedented disclosures by political leaders such as U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, who released his tax returns for the first time after questions about his family’s affairs.
The European leaders are urging tax and law enforcement agencies to exchange information regarding beneficial ownership registers, and new registers of trusts. The letter comes as the ministers attend an International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington.
In Spain, Jose Manuel Soria’s resignation from Parliament and his ministerial posts Friday came days before he was due to appear in Parliament to explain his claim that he never ran or owned a Bahamian offshore company, although his name appeared on leaked documents identifying him as director of a firm.
Spain’s El Confidencial digital news site this week published a September 1992 document naming him and another man as one of two directors of a company named U.K. Lines Ltd.
Soria, who also held the energy and tourism portfolios, told reporters Monday he never “had shares, nor participation, nor any position of responsibility” with the company. He said a British company with that name was a service provider for a family shipping business he used to run.
Later, apparent contradictions in his explanations and further reports that he allegedly had an offshore company in Jersey led to increased calls from opposition parties for his resignation.
He said that although the activities had no relation with his political duties, the obvious harm it was causing the government and his party at such a critical moment led him to take the decision.
Soria, 58, was named minister after the Popular party won a landslide victory in 2011. The party has been running a caretaker government under acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy since a Dec. 20 inconclusive election.
Several other prominent people in Spain have been named in the offshore leaks, including Barcelona soccer start Lionel Messi and film director Pedro Almodovar.
The governing Popular Party has been linked to myriad corruption scandals in recent years. Soria was the second Rajoy minister linked to corruption scandals to resign following that of former Health Minister Ana Mato in 2014. Former Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz Gallardon in 2014 after he failed to get a planned restrictive abortion law passed.

The “Sakura” is a tactical knife inspired by traditional Japanese knife Tanto featuring diamond blade construction. Such knives were commonly used in combat, for example, for finishing off an enemy, harakiri or beheading. Most often a Tanto was used by Samurai as an additional sword, but also by representatives of civil professions and intellectuals for self-defense purposes. Sometimes a small tanto could be worn also by women.
After the World War II a tanto became popular worldwide. In the United States and other countries local manufactures of tanto deviate from Japanese canons, for example, such pieces are void of double-edged blade or feature a sharp bend to the blade of a knife. But for most fans of knife fighting it is a secondary factor. A Tanto is both good: in traditional Japanese version and in modernized American one.
The Tanto “Sakura” by the Blade Brothers Knives is perfect for tourist and hiking needs. It is easy to buy the Tanto “Sakura” from our on-line shop while its price and quality will be a pleasant surprise.
Along with knives we provide an official certificate on non-belonging to weapon.
Diamond shape construction guarantees good cutting and sufficient endurance of a blade. The handle extends to the blade that provides a secure grip even during strong thrusting. The metal is covered with polymer to protect from corrosion. Riveted, Cordura sheath with a loop.

13:32:18 <Brigo> Could anyone give me some link or hint about galleries? i don't know how to add them to my pages with restructures text or without.
13:36:27 <ChrisWarrick> Brigo: You create a folder in galleries and put your images there.
13:36:55 <Brigo> yes, i did, and now what?
13:37:03 <Brigo> how can i put those images in my web?
13:43:37 <Brigo> ChrisWarrick, yes but how i show them, not as an image but a gallery? should i do it with html code?
13:45:12 <ChrisWarrick> The galleries feature is meant for displaying pictures on a separate page and not in a post. Gallery directive usually works, but is kinda buggy.
13:47:16 <Brigo> ChrisWarrick, ok, it's a start. Is there any other way?

Amazonas, a company owned by Polish-Brazilian marriage, specializes in the retail sale of surprisingly modern and one-of-a-kind hammocks. This young, dynamically developing company has recently entered the European market with its unique range of products, which allows the buyer to move directly to the jungle. The owners of Amazonas asked our Digital Agency to prepare a full marketing strategy as well as a website.
The prepared logotype was the basis for starting our activities. The assumption was clear - to create a coherent website and an e-commerce store. The whole should refer to the Amazonas logo. The website was supposed to promote the newly created brand of hammocks and encourage to visit the online store. Clearly defined functionalities, online payments and discount actions were meant to make it easier for the future Amazonas customer. Our task was also to create a website that would refer to products offered by the brand.
Our work began with talking to the client about his needs. We have analyzed the business, got to know the vision of Amazonas owners, their demands, functionality, the outcome they want to achieve and we proposed some solutions. Our meetings brought first results - the information architecture of the target site and the online store was created. Then we moved on to designing the page views in the mock-up form, we proposed specific solutions and activities in the field of content marketing. In the next step, the whole site was prepared, suitable for both desktop and mobile views. We consulted each stage of the work with the client whose vision was an important factor for us. The website prepared by our Digital Agency was based on the WordPress CMS system, and the online store was created with the use of the WooCommerce platform. In addition, employees of Amazonas have undergone training in CMS WordPress and WooCommerce platform, so that they can independently add new content and manage the store in the future.
Our extensive activities have allowed us to design and then build a service that fully reflects the nature and uniqueness of Amazonas. Prepared e-commerce shop, logotype and graphics constitute a coherent whole, referring to the oriental nature of the company's offer. At the same time, the website is clear and legible, and the online store is very functional, both for the customer and the seller who manages it.

We have compiled the results for the 2012 Program of the Year contest and, I must say, the outcome was rather difficult to predict this year. Alas, the uncontested winner for the TI-89 category had this esoteric acceptance statement, which we can assume to mean that all is well.
Congratulations to all of the authors of this year's entries. We here at ticalc.org are looking forward to an even more exciting year in 2013 as everyone's skills and creativity continue to expand and develop. Thanks to everyone for making 2012 a fantastic year in calcs, and we'll see you soon!
Actually, I'm not terribly surprised. I think most Omnimegans may have voted Fruit Ninja, I know a lot of Cemetechians were impressed by Alien Breed 5, and gpSP-Nspire seemed the clear choice in Nspire program effort and results.
The winners are definitely deserved! Well done to all the authors and congratulations to the winners!

I like to be known as a transparent business which means letting people know what materials I use in my business and how I or my suppliers contribute to the environment.
I love wearing beautiful things but I realized that in order to do this I have to have a planet not only to live on but one that sustains me too. I also have a conscious and want to know that my suppliers do too. Hence why I only use materials to make my jewellery with that shares my ethics and pays their workers a fair income with great working condition’s for their employees. It is these ethics that has been the driving force behind my business practices and the products that I make.
In today’s blog I am going to be looking at one of the materials that I use in my designs – Swarovski crystals and Swarovski Pearls. You will learn who Swarovski is, what a Swarovski crystal is made of, how it differs from other crystals and how to care for it plus much more.
I was introduced to these wonderful orbs several years ago when a family member gave me a bracelet that had been made out of Swarovski. I was mesmerized by its brilliant shine and how it looked very much like a diamond and I was hooked!
A couple of years later when the Earth Faeries was born I decided to use it in my collections.
Firstly I was looking for vegan materials and was delighted that they passed the cruelty free test. Secondly they are environmentally friendly business and the company is an ethical one too so I more than happy to use their products in my creations. Here is a report detailing their good ethics and how they are protecting the environment. Click here for the report. Thirdly I love their cut, clarity, amazing vibrant colours (my favorite is blush pink) and their contour. Contour means perfectly shaped crystals. How could I resist?
I often get asked by my customers and friends about what Swarovski crystal is made of etc of so I thought I would write an article on it.
Who is Swarovski you may be wondering? Daniel Swarovski was the son of a glass cutter and following in the footsteps of his father he became skilled in glass cutting. Danial had a dream of creating a diamond that everyone could afford to have. He invented and patented an electric cutting machine in 1892 that was revolutionary. This allowed the crystal to be cut with more precision than by hand and create a wonderful piece of fine man made gem that had the brilliance of a diamond.
These beautiful crystals are used by well known designers and brands such as Chanel in their fashion collections. Famous models have adorned them on the catwalks all around the world. They have been featured in Victoria secrets collections – a famous lingerie brand. The Austrian brand has dated back to 1897 – spanning five generations of the Swarovski Family. You may be surprised to discover that the brand has dressed big names back in history such as Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe in Gentleman prefer blonds and Audrey Hepburn in breakfast at Tiffany’s. The Swarovski crystals where used in her tiara. Seasonal collections are added every year and the crystals are used in combination with precious and semi precious stones too.
What exactly is a Swarovski crystal? Unlike quartz crystals that are made by mother nature and found in the earth – Swarovskis are man made by using natural resources such as sand, quartz and minerals.
Why are they more expensive than glass? They use only the finest natural materials, the crystal is cut with precision using a special patented machine and are polished to a brilliant shine. The entire process is very complex as the crystal is created to have hundreds of identical facets in several directions. Each direction of the reflected light must be calculated on a computer then has to be simulated in 3D, optimized and converted into programs for the machinery to make them.
How do you know if they are the genuine article?
If there is scratches on the crystal or an oily sheen then this means its not an authentic one.
All facets of the crystal meet and point upwards.
How do you care for Swarovski crystals? They should be treated the same way as fine jewellery.
remove your crystals before swimming or any form of exercise and before applying any lotions or make up. If getting ready put make on and put lotion on and wait a couple of minute for lotion to penetrate into skin before put them on. If going to bed take Swarovski crystals off first and then do your nightly routine.
Mild soap and water and a cloth should be used to clean and polish them. Swarovski recommend drying with a soft lint free towel and finish with a cotton Swarovski cloth. When handling your crystals it is a good idea to wear cotton gloves to prevent getting finger prints on them. Swarovski do sell cleaning packs to keep your crystals in pristine condition.
Do not use any cleaners containing alcohol, sonic cleaners, commercial jewellery cleaners or boiling water as this will have a damaging effect on the crystal.
Store them in the original packaging or place tissue paper over them after use to prevent them scratching metal or loosening the crystal.
Do not store in excessive heat or sun exposure. Make sure you never wear them for bed time, bath time or when exercising.
Chains and necklace will retain their shine better when they are hung when not worn.
Adhering to these guidelines will keep your Swarovski crystals beautiful and lustrous for years to come.

In today’s blog I am going to look at the history of wire wrapping. You may be wondering how this technique came about so I am going to look at why our ancestors chose to use this technique and why I use it to decorate my bridal hair combs.
For those of you who don’t know what wire wrapping jewellery is it is the art of bending, twisting, cutting and wrapping wire around hair combs and gems. It is also used to hold beads and gems on the wire without soldering, electricity, machinery or the use of modern technologies.
Wire wrapping dates back 1446 BC but there is evidence that it was used much earlier than that. Researchers have found wire jewellery in pyramids and in pharaohs tombs. Ancient ancestors used it because there was no electricity, machinery fire or modern day technologies then.
Early wire used for wire work was pounded flat into sheets and then rolled into thin tubes. It was thought that gold sheet were used as this could be hammered into thin sheets in which the wire would then be made of.
I started to learn this craft last year so I could wrap my hair combs. It looked great fun to learn and had me up many nights practicing. I am also using wire work to make tree of life table decorations which I will reveal to you soon. I like to use this art as I feel it is more Eco friendly as it requires no soldering, electricity, glues or any other modern technologies. I like the idea that I am leaving less of a carbon foot print. Just like our ancient civilizations knew, it lasts the test of time and is a beautiful skill and has fascinating history to pass onto future generations.
Moving to Wales about 9 months ago was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only is is it a magnificent country with lots to see and do to ignite my imagination but it is steeped in history and faerie Lore. I love anything faerie related so I decided to write a blog each month about the different faerie lores in Wales. This month I’m going to write about Harper & the faeries.
Shon Robert who was a Harper lived in a remote part of Denbigshire called Hafod Elwy. He was a musical soul and was always being invited to parties to play for the singers and dancers. This evening he had been called to a party in Llechwedd Llyfn, in the neighborhood of Cefn Brith. After a lovely evening everyone parted company and he headed home. His path was over the bare mountains which led him past a lake called Llyn-y-dau-ychain and on the verge of it was something that he had never seen before. It was a vividly illuminated grand palace. He however proceeded on his way and to his amazement came right in front of the palace. A faerie footman invited him in. Curious, he accepted the invitation and entered into a a magnificent hall where a grand ball was taking place. Much of the furniture was lavish and made of solid gold. The faeries all drank from gold goblets and a waiter stopped by and offered him a drink from a goblet that was adorned with jewels to which he accepted.
Soon he was surrounded by friendly faeries and to his astonishment addressed him by his name. They asked him to play for them and their guests which he gladly did. And much to his delight a hat was passed around and in it was put many pieces of gold and silver coins.
The magnificent feast and merriment of the guests continued until near dawn and one by one the guests took their leave. Until he was finally alone. Sleep was calling and he found a a couch and lay down. He was soon fast asleep. He did not wake until mid day and to his surprise he founds himself lying on a heap of heather. The palace had vanished and the gold and silver he had transferred from the hat and into his bag the night before was changed to withered leaves.
In this blog I am going to look at one of my other favorite stones; turquoise. It is a beautiful stone and has a hue of light blue that reminds me of the sky. It’s history is diverse & fascinating. Its powers can be harnessed and utilized to bring you good fortune plus much more.
It looks gorgeous worn as jewellery complimenting all complexions and is a stone of wealth. It was worn by Anselmus de Boot, court physician of Emperor Rudolph II. It was wrote in 1609 that Turquoise was so highly regarded by men that no man considered his hand to be well adorned unless he wore a fine Turquoise. [Kunz, 111].
This semi precious stone has been a prized gem for thousands of years. It has been the talisman of kings shamans and warriors.
Consists of hydrated phosphate of copper aluminum.
It is found in barren & dry regions only.
Turquoise derived from the french Pierre Turquoise meaning Turkish stone.
Turquoise was mined in Central Asia and the trade routes to get it to Europe went through Turkey.
It is a stone of protection whilst traveling and my friend always carries one in his car to aid him a safe passage.
It can be used with pets to keep them safe. You can stick one in a name barrel on their collar.
It is a good talisman for attracting friends. It has been said he/she who has it will never want a friend.
The ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Persians, Aztecs, Incas of South America, Native North Americans saw the stone as being sacred and used it for luck, protection and power.
Indian priests wore it in ceremonies when calling upon the gods of the skies.
In the orient the ring was worn as a protection amulet to ward off dark forces.
Turquoise beads have been found dating back to 5,000 BC in Iraq.
It promotes creativity so is the stone of artists/crafters so keep one on your work station. I do and the ideas always keep flowing.
It increases success. Wear one when going for interviews or trying to attract prospective clients. My friend has a beautiful elephant carved out of turquoise and always keeps it on her desk. She is an artist and is always inundated with clients.
It promotes leadership and enhances communication thus fantastic for businesses that work directly with people and it also aids shy people.
It is used to strengthen the meridians and subtle energy fields that surround the body enhancing well-being.
It supports mediation and is a good stone to have with you when you are meditating. As I meditate in different places I carry mine in my pocket. They also look beautiful on your alters too.
It promotes peace of mind and relaxation so its a lovely stone to keep in your bedroom next to your bed.
So if your looking for a beautiful stone that not only enhances your beauty but provides an abundance of good fortune, success and well being then turquoise is a superb choice. And one that will give you an abundance of pleasure whether it is worn as jewellery or used as part of your decor.
What is your favorite stone?
I have a fascination for all things to do with faeries and faerie lore is no exception. So where did it all begin? I was brought up by a mum who would often take me for picnics and walks in beautiful woods and surrounding countryside. Each walk would be magical and we would go bird watching, tree hugging and looking for the faeries hence my passion for them now.
Moving to a rural part of Wales in June 2016 opened up this magical realm once again for me because the place is steeped in legends and wonderful history. In this blog I am going to look at one of the lakes called Llyn Y Fan Fach in Brecon Beacons.in the western border of the Black mountain. Llyn Y Fan Fach is thought to be a bottomless lake and is associated with Faeries and I’m going to tell you about the famous faerie legend there.
One day whilst a farmer was tending to his herd he spotted a beautiful faerie woman emerging from the lake whom he instantly fell in love with. He offered her three types of bread to win her over. The first bread was hand baked to which she refused. The second was dough and again she refused. But the third which was lightly baked bread was more to her liking and she accepted his proposal.
She immediately disappeared back into the lake and returned moments later with her father and her identical sister. The father of the faerie set up a test to see if the farmer was worthy of his daughter. He asked them to differentiate between his two daughters. Thankfully the farmer was successful as he recognized his love from the way she tied her sandles. And he was allowed to have her hand in marriage.
The faerie realm gifted them with more cattle, as many as they could count in one breath. The father told the farmer that he must treat his daughter well and must never strike her more than three times otherwise she would disappear altogether and return to the faerie realm.
They had a successful and happy marriage and had 3 sons. However the farmer unwittingly struck her more than three times and on the fourth occasion she disappeared back into the lake with all of the faerie cattle that had been gifted to them.
It is said that the faerie wife returned occasionally to teach her sons the art of healing and herb lore. This was passed down the family line for centuries and the family became well known as the physicians of Myddfai.
The Llyn Y Fan Fach lake is located in the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is in a very remote location and the best way to get there is on foot consulting an appropriate ordnance survey map.
Do you know of any faerie legends in Wales? If you do please share on the comments section and I may just publish it.

Cosmetic issues with patients’ teeth are an important consideration with any procedure performed at John L. Aurelia, DDS, PLLC, in Rochester Hills.
There are basic components of a stunning smile. Just like some of the world’s most attractive faces through history have been symmetrical, the symmetry of your teeth is a coveted characteristic. Uneven spacing detracts from the uniformity of your smile, and chips can make a tooth on one side of the face appear bigger or smaller than its counterpart on the other side.
Your Rochester Hills dentist can help you achieve a more even and symmetrical smile with porcelain veneers that look like natural teeth with their luster and translucence, or with cosmetically-pleasing, comfortable alternatives to traditional braces such as Invisalign.
Yellowed or otherwise stained and discolored teeth detract from the youthful color you had before the cumulative effects of coffee, smoking, or other habits altered the shade of your smile. Powerful, yet safe, professional whitening lifts stains, and can be applied from the convenience of the Rochester office or from the comfort of your own home. Versatile veneers or porcelain crowns may be used to cover very dark stains or stubborn discoloration caused by trauma, excessive use of fluoride, or some types of antibiotics.
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and conservative alternatives to crowns such as inlays and onlays can beautifully restore damaged teeth. Damage such as cavities, for example, takes away from the beauty and the health of your smile because these holes look like dark pits and fissures on your teeth. Arguably, no procedure has quite as much power as natural-looking tooth replacement options. Dental-implant supported crowns, bridges, and dentures can transform your looks, quality of life, and confidence.
Call (248) 651-6810 to find out how these and other procedures, alone or in combination, can improve your smile.

With ODX-LINK, INCA provides a complete ODX-based solution for validating vehicle diagnostics.
The need for sophisticated ECU diagnostics onboard the vehicle is mainly driven by legislative standards for onboard monitoring of emission relevant systems such as OBD and EOBD regulations. Offboard in the service shop, correct and efficient identification of faulty components is essential.
The ODX Open Diagnostic Data Exchange Format declares onboard diagnostic functions and protocols in a standardized manner. The XML-based data description format enables vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers to maintain all data of the vehicle life cycle, i.e., development, production, and service data, in a uniform way. ODX was specified by ASAM and is published as ISO 22901-1 international standard. More and more car manufactures and suppliers support ODX with their diagnostic development tool chain.
Comprehensive vehicle diagnostics requires close cooperation between ECU and service diagnostics development. When offboard diagnostic functions are developed in parallel to the ECU software, they can be tested at an early stage of development.
INCA facilitates ECU diagnostics and flash programming compliant to the OBD and ODX standards. Being able to execute software functions and sequences of service testers, INCA provides for the validation of service diagnostics before service tester hardware is available.

Interested by reworking your bathroom? If the ground feels spongy, that’s an indication of great water harm,” says John Petrie, proprietor of Mom Hubbard’s Customized Cabinetry in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Other points are truly hidden, for example a vent stack inside a wall that you thought you had been going to knock down.
Pointers from the National Kitchen and Bath Association name for a ducted system that is a minimum of 50 cubic toes per minute, though you could need twice as a lot ventilation if the area is bigger than a hundred sq. feet or in the event you plan to install a steam shower.

For fireplace transforming in your house, a customized strategy with interesting supplies, textures and scale assures your hearth design is a memorable visual centerpiece. This fireplace encompass was hand-faced by artisans at Granicrete. We drew up several designs earlier than finally arising with one which we agreed on. We did analysis on putting the TELEVISION within the hearth, but refused to buy a prepared-to-install package.
The stone fireplace with recovered barn-beam mantel is the focus of room. The brick encompass was painted Benjamin Moore’s Douglas Fir to complement the room’s Spring Moss partitions, and gorgeous work by artist Erin E Sorensen depict the homeowners’ view of the nearby San Francisco Bay.
Chim-Chimneys, Inc. Make sure that your hearth space is completely cleared of particles. The mantel incorporates a dentil molding decoration that follows the one used within the new entrance door and different particulars throughout the home. After working with the builder to have his crew install the firebox and basic body when the house was constructed, I used to be in a position to end the hearth myself.
This can provide help to and your contractor keep on the same page and make your private home improvement undertaking go off without a hitch. Repaired the fireside by pouring new concrete and installing reclaimed brick from an outdated syrup chimney, located on the farm, as a new hearth.

It is well known that there are usually factors, or early warning signs, leading up to the onset of serious illnesses, in particular heart diseases, strokes and cancers. Identifying these factors, and addressing them, can often reduce the chances of developing these illnesses. Health screening plays an important role in this preventive approach to good health.
At Lotus Healthcare, our tailor-made Lotus Healthscreens allow us to identify illnesses, or abnormalities, at an early stage when active intervention can change the outcome of a condition in a positive manner. By using the information provided, we can also calculate the individual’s risk of developing certain illnesses such as heart disease or stroke in the future. We can then advise our client on how such risks may be modified or reduced by offering specific solutions. These solutions are often based on both medications as well as nutritional, physical exercise, lifestyle changes, stress management and altering the mind body relationship.
A serious illness such as heart disease, stroke or cancer not only has a major impact on the individual and their family: it also has a significant impact on their ability to work, often for a considerable period. For an employer, a prolonged absence of any employee, especially a key member of the team, can have serious consequences.
Most important of all, Lotus Healthscreens offer the employer the comfort that the health of their key personnel is being looked after, to allow them to contribute effectively to the success of the business.
Following the Lotus Healthscreen you will be given a detailed report of all investigations and an action plan for you to follow. If you wish, we can send a copy of this report to your GP for them to help you manage any medical conditions which require longer term follow up.

2 Timothy 2:4; “a good soldier of Jesus Christ does not get entangled in the affairs of this life or he would fail to please his commander (Christ)”.
A good friend asked me earlier why I don’t get as worked up over politics as some of my other friends do. I took it as outward evidence of my maturing, at least in this area. I’ve posted about it many times before, the ugly partisan nature of the binary political war that so many are so passionate about. The name-calling, the stone casting, the Unfriending sometimes necessary for peace-all a juvenile embarrassment when observed from the outside, and yet without it, there would be virtually no cable or internet news stations, and only about half of the daily social media posts or tweets . And, dare I suggest it, far too many professed Christ believers have become “entangled” and ensnared in all the ugly behind the scenes drama that is American politics.
Let me clarify, lest I too be on the receiving end of a few cast stones-I am all for political activism as it pertains to our voting privileges and supporting candidates in elections who mirror your feelings on certain issues. I am grateful to live in a country where we have the right to be ugly over politics-it could be much worse. Many good men, women, blacks, whites, Americans and foreigners, paid a high price so that we might be a part of a representative form of government wherein we can choose who we want to represent us. One can never be faulted for exercising their individual right to vote, and neither can, or should, anyone be faulted for abstaining from voting, regardless of the ridiculous arguments zealous activists will use to guilt you for abstaining. But from the beginning until now, polling has been a highly personal and discreet process. Hell, even on Survivor, the ballots are kept secret. It is a sacred process that should be carried out according to true personal conviction and not popular social pressure. But we have turned that process into a post-election feud worthy of Hatfield-McCoy status. Why?
This is just one reason why I no longer get worked up over political banter. In the past two thousand years of recorded history, has anything really changed? Are people still murdered in the U.S.? Have burglaries and theft been halted? Do certain people still discriminate because of ethnical differences? Are people still hungry and homeless? Is the quality of education the same for all or equal to income brackets? With all the elevated blood pressures, nothing has really changed in 2000 years. If you were obese and unhealthy under Clinton or Reagan, you are probably still the same under Obama or Trump. If you were financially successful under Carter or Nixon, you are probably still successful under Bush or Ford. The truth is, if we are to be honest, our individual lives are never really impacted due to who or what is in office. If one relies on the government to be their only source and recourse for everything good in life, they will never be adequately cared for, and if one is self or God sufficient regardless of political affiliation, they will always be okay. Does that make any sense?
“Oh, Papajoe, but Romans 13 says God ordains all government! And moreover, God puts all people in power according to his will.” Uh, no, that’s just bad religion. It’s funny that so many are convinced God puts US Presidents in place, but not Hitlers or Hussains or Castros, as if America is now the chosen nation. God, because of our lack of total trust in him, instituted a human form of oversight for civil protection. However, God would never have endorsed all the deal-making, finger-crossing, back-stabbing entanglements that are the very nature of the political machine we have now. In almost every aspect, this slaps in the face of everything the Gospel is all about, as do many of the current policies. We are to obey the laws of the land as long as they do not conflict with the laws of God. But if you are a good political soldier, you can only love your neighbor if they are not aliens. You can demand that the government take care of the poor and hungry so you can feel you fed them vicariously through the system of taxation and no more. We can deny basic humanitarian medical aid to someone if they can’t pay or have no state-sponsored insurance. We can profess our faith, but not in a way that would make it in any way superior to any other religion-tolerate all views as equal. Everyone gets a participation trophy when your time comes. What we have done to religion, we have done to politics, by touting bad religion as justification.
To be blunt, whether the person at the top is black, white or orange, the importance doesn’t resonate with someone fighting through a terminal disease. Red or Blue means little to someone who goes through life feeling like an invisible vapor due to loneliness. Left or right, liberal, moderate or conservative, is the last thing on the mind of someone dealing with a spouse or child with addictions or that person who just can’t find a decent job, or worse, the one who has lost all hope and is having one last drink before they down a bottle of sleeping pills to put their misery to a final rest. This, my good friend, is why I am no longer a political standard bearer who loses sleep over social policy or world affairs. Yes, I want peace, but “in as much as it is within you, live at peace with your neighbor” is my God-standard, not world summits. Yes, I want to end hunger, but “when you give to the least of these my brothers” is my policy, not entitlements. Yes, I want to see an eventual end to hatred and bigotry, but “love they neighbor as thyself” is a God thing, not a social media thing. It matters not to me who is in office, my daily mandates come from a much higher commander-in-chief than one who is mistakenly elevated as the appointed one we may or may not have voted for. But when we begin to see each other and moreover, formulate unjust opinions about their character, just because of who they support politically, we have become the blind leading the blind, discarding the truth for a bit of an increase in personal mammon. There is a reason you can’t serve both!
This cruel life has way too many existing webs to navigate without getting entangled in civilian affairs we may never change. My political apathy is a personal choice. Your opinion of that choice is your choice. I don’t have nightmares over childish tweets or the latest missteps of a polarizing POTUS. I don’t dread tomorrow because of which “side” has control of Congress. I have many issues right now with God-he knows, but regardless of how I vote or whose in charge down here, God is my constant, my boss, my CO. I’ll do well to continue to take my direction from him and avoid the entanglements of the political arena. That, is why I no longer get caught up in the façade of political policy.
Hello. My name is Joe and I’m a former ditto-head (hello Joe). I’ve been politically sober now for almost two years. (Applause, yada, yada). I was a proud follower of all things Rush Limbaugh but I have since given away my personal copies of The Way Things Ought to Be and See, I Told You So. However I still enjoy a good Arturo Fuente cigar, which Rush turned me on to.
It is that time again, you know the one, when many of the faith for whatever reason put aside all thy have learned, or should have learned about their eternal status in Christ and take up arms and soap boxes in support of their favorite candidate and make claims based on social media memes and the usual talking heads of the propaganda machine that is the American political system. Yes, thank God for every brave man and woman who fought for or died that we might live in a country where we can openly campaign for and support the candidates of our choice-this is in no way a knock on our freedom to cast ballots and select leaders. We are much more fortunate in that respect than most countries around the globe. But I can’t help but feel that many of us play right into the hands of those running for office who have little real concern for our religious affiliation or core beliefs, and why should they, when we leave them at the doors of our local balloting locations.
Yes, not long ago I was a devout ditto-head (that’s a supporter of Rush Limbaugh for those in Yorba Linda). I couldn’t understand how my Christian brother or sister could call themselves Christian but vote for this person or that person. I dreaded what would happen to me if this person was elected or how my relationship with those of the other side of the aisle would be impacted once the elections were over. But then an amazing thing happened at about age 52-I Grew Up! I realized that I had lived through several Presidents that I didn’t support, but I was still the same-my personal situation had not been affected in any great means at all-amazing. But I was so sure that the country would go to hell in a hand basket if this guy won office-what happened? I didn’t have to move to Canada, change churches or renounce my political views, and I was still here and not in a bread line-wow!
And I could fill pages with such promises. And yet there seems to be nothing that so greatly divides the church as a good political campaign during an election year. I sit back now and read (without jumping in) the posts and heated debates that go back and forth on social media. I hear stories about clergy surrendering their pulpits to candidates turning a worship service into a political town hall meeting. I read with my own eyes the names and sometimes visceral that comes from the posts between Christian siblings who share differing views and the worst of all, groups of clergy rallying behind the efforts and campaign of a chosen candidate and laying hands in agreement but demanding separation of church and state whenever the church tax-free status is questioned.
This I my newly enlightened approach-not saying it’s the only approach, just the process that I am comfortable with in making my ballot choice. My number one criteria above all else-can I justify my vote before God? I know exactly through His Word what He desires from my life, how I should live and the precepts I should espouse and support in voting. My new motto, and unfortunately more true each election-a vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil. I can’t in good conscious cast a vote for anyone who believes anything contrary to God’s laws and desires-period! If that means I have to write in a name not on the ballot, I will do so and not worry that it’s a “wasted” vote. Second, I don’t put much stock in what is said during a campaign-I follow the money and the voting records. Who supports them-why-how did they vote on this issue-what bills have they sponsored on another issue? And the big one for me, perhaps the hardest of all-I rarely comment on political posts and refrain from sharing baseless memes, unless they are too funny to ignore!! I don’t even pray that God puts the “right” person (pun intended) in office. Instead I ask God to help me cast the right vote for me. I finally get it-I will be just fine if the other guy or gal wins. My provisions, my security, my future don’t lie within the hands or policies of the current administration-I am a child of the eternal President, the supreme ruler and he is the one I need to please and rely on for my welfare, not whether the country remains red or blue for the next four-year term. Sure I will vote and encourage others to exercise the freedom to do so, a right bought with a high price. But I will no longer fret over who controls the House or Senate because neither control me, only my God. It may not be popular, but I think I’ll stick with my new strategery!

Learning is optimal for most human beings when they are given just enough structure to feel safe and just enough freedom to feel challenged. This, in my opinion, is the special sauce of meaningful learning design.
The unconscious bias toward the monolingual and against the plurilingual is very much present in the digital realm. It has been frustrating to me as a language pedagogue that, at least at this moment in the development of digital tools such as WordPress, the screen serves to limit rather than amplify human plurilingualism.

Russia has signed a deal to import Australian uranium for Russia's nuclear energy program. The two countries were quick to assure the world that the material would be used only for peacetime nuclear purposes. Nancy-Amelia Collins reports from Australia's largest city, Sydney, where the Russian president has joined the leaders of 20 other economies for the annual Asia Pacific summit meeting.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the deal with Australian Prime Minister John Howard Friday, as the two prepared for the upcoming APEC summit.
While the deal states Russia cannot sell the Australian uranium to any other nation or use it to make weapons, critics have said the deal might make it easier for rogue third countries or groups to obtain the raw material needed to make a nuclear weapon.
The Australian Prime Minister quickly denied suggestions that the agreement poses a potential nuclear threat.
"Any uranium that is sold to Russia will be sold subject to very strict safeguards, and the (Russian) president in our discussion made the point that I think is relevant, that Russia already has an enormous amount of military nuclear material, which it is selling principally to the United States for reprocessing. So if you apply logic to the allegations, it lacks substance," Mr. Howard said.
In a 1993 agreement with the United States, Russia promised to convert 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium left over from Soviet nuclear weapons programs. The Russians were to process the material into lower-quality uranium, to be used as fuel for American nuclear power plants.
President Putin stressed that Australian uranium would be used by the Russians solely for the production of peacetime energy.
"In terms of Australian uranium, we will buy it only given our plans to develop peaceful nuclear energy," Mr. Putin noted. "In the Soviet era we built about 30 big power units on the nuclear power plants. In 15, 20 years we are planning to build this same amount, and for these purposes and only for these purposes we need this Australian uranium."
Mr. Putin, the first Russian president ever to visit Australia, arrived in Sydney a day after signing a billion-dollar arms deal with Indonesia. Under that agreement, Russia is providing a line of credit for Jakarta to buy tanks, helicopters, and submarines.
Mr. Putin and Mr. Howard will be among 21 leaders, including U.S. President George Bush and Chinese President Hu Jintao, at the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit here on Saturday and Sunday.

It seems that in this world, no matter how hard we try, we will never quite figure it all out. The more we learn, the more we seem to realize the need to learn more. This is one take on our ninth song we’ve put together for this album titled More Going On Than We Know.
In this ninth song on our current album project we decided to give it an epic feel with a lovely instrumental ending. We are excited for you to hear it once the album is released later this year!
Some fly on, before their time, but why?

In case you're new here, or I just haven't mentioned it in a while... I work at a British-style tea shop. I'm the baker there, so I make all the scones, mini pastries, and assorted crusted-savory things. For some of the major restaurant holidays (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day) we come up with a special menu that allows us to have a little fun and offer things we don't usually offer for tea. It tends to be a lot of prep work for the kitchen, but they're always fun to work because it's a set menu, which means we're serving the same thing all day (easy-peasy in the kitchen!). Everything is served on tiers, just like our usual tea, and people get their choice of beverage and scone, though I always come up with a special scone just for that day.
I rarely actually work any of the holiday teas, but this was my second year working the Mother's Day tea! It's a fun change up for me because my usual work day consists of prep, prep, and more prep. So when I get to work the actual line, it's, well, as Monty Python would say - "and now for something completely different!" I enjoy the change up every once in a while.
For this year's Mother's Day tea we served: waldorf chicken salad on croissants, truffled deviled eggs, crab cakes with ginger tomato jam, chilled cucumber mint soup, salted chocolate truffles, carrot cake, butterscotch blondies, key lime tarts, and lemon blueberry scones. Everything was a big hit!
You would have enjoyed it :) But I can make all these things when I come to visit!
Oh man, all those things look so good! I haven't had a croissant in so long, and I LOVE deviled eggs! It sounds fun to put together the holiday menus and be creative with it.

Anything to report Wendy? Have you had your test?
They are coming today to test the water Stanley followed by the borehole being finished off with the proper pump and top. We have been running the water for an hour a day as recommended and we now think there is some iron in there, so expect to have to install a treatment plant. If you fill a glass and let it stand for a while a yellow tinge develops in the bottom.
Have you tried making a cup of tea with it?
Darren has been back today to install our pump, finish off the top of the borehole and set up the pressure vessel and associated switches in the barn. Here are a few end of the day photos.
Colin has taken the opportunity of having the mini digger around to keep digging trenches and install drainage pipe to take rainwater off the barn roof and any backwash from the filtration system that we will have to install.
As our house is long and narrow with bathrooms at each end the water supply is split into 2 sections. We now have the untreated borehole water in the east end, which serves the ensuite shower room to our bedroom, utility room, downstairs toilet and parts of the barn. The kitchen and main bathroom are still on spring water. Whoopee! Tomorrow I can do piles of washing, enjoy a leisurely shower and flush 2 loos with abandon!!
Lovely. But the rain will perhaps come just in time for the washing on the line!
Come to think you have done a rain dance for us!
It doesn't look as if we will get rain till late on today so I might be lucky with the washing!
I hope so but I reckon you have broken the drought! Now, what exactly was it you did to cause the total eclipse of the Blood Moon tonight? I always knew you were a force but this is getting spooky!
I think Burnt Hill might once have been a very important place, why else would the summit mark the border of 2 counties and 4 ancient parishes? It was called Burned Hill in early documents......could that be something to do with water? Perhaps putting 2 bore holes down in quick succession has disturbed the slumber of an ancient deity.
Seriously, prominences like it were often key points on boundaries because that was where the lord could sit, view his domain and allocate parts of it while his scribes made a map. I was once told that this is why so many of them are names so and so's Seat. Think Simon's Seat at Skipton, Simon de Monfort I think.
How about a shrine to Belisama, the Celtic deity of water and rivers, as a decoration for the well head?
Not sure Colin will be keen.....but I will have a place for votive offerings!
No. We live by the creed " TAKE nothing but photos, LEAVE nothing but footprints"
That's very different from the people attending the big pop festivals here, Maz. Not only do they leave all their rubbish but they leave their tents too. Tons of stuff has to be cleared away.
How is the new supply settling in Wendy?
They are probably busy, digging the pool, Stanley.

The fourth largest city of Gwinnett County has some of the coolest lakes and water parks of Georgia. Sugar Hill got its name from spillage of a large sugar shipment in the 18th century. The city is within the Atlanta metropolitan area and has 24,000 residents. The islands, nature reserves, and water parks are great tourist attraction sites. The town has its own gas supply and also extends it to neighboring cities. Moving can be due to marriage, employment or personal reasons. Make a move, come and experience `the sweet life’ of Sugar Hill. The most reputable mover in the city is A-1 Auto Transport. We handle all types of moves to and from the city including vehicles.
Volume: Movers have the capacity to move huge items. If you have a corporate move or a huge mansion move, moving trucks can safely deliver your items in a single trip. When doing a self-move you may require several trips to move all items.
Affordability: Hiring moving companies can save you money in the long run. Moving companies can reduce your total charge by consolidating moves. They can combine your load with another load moving in the same direction. This causes a price reduction and reduced delivery time.
Moving companies charge for all services at a one-off price. They offer discounts and free coupons with each moving task. They also have insurance for all items. With moving companies, you can never undergo a loss.
When doing a self-move you may bid to save money but end up losing more.
Accountability: Professional movers keep all your items safe and secure. They have satellite coverage for all loads in transit. Movers have inventories that account for all items packed and loaded. They can trace each item in the box from the room it was packed.
Research moving companies online and on customer review sites. Websites like Yelp and Movereviews.com have hundreds of thousands of customers who review and rate movers. A solid mover should have a rating of 4 stars and above.
Check with Better Business Bureau. A mover who has been assessed and accredited by BBB is trustworthy.
The mover should have a valid USDOT number.
A free valuation coverage that provides alternative liability insurance at 60 cents a pound. The company should also liaise with a third party to provide affixed insurance.
A fixed delivery window. In case it changes, the company is liable to compensate the customer.
Use a calendar to organize your move. Mark the dates using visible markers and divide each day into activities to be undertaken.
Pack 70% of your belongings before the movers arrive. Dismantle heavy furniture and place it close to exits. Boxes should be placed in a strategic position to aid in the movers’ efficiency.
Place delicate items in a separate area. Use huge markings that identify the boxes from afar. Movers will apply extra caution when dealing with such boxes.
Keep personal items in your possession. Make copies of important documents and move the items yourself.
Do not pack flammable items or delicate liquids. Movers always inspect the goods. They cannot move flammables alongside items like clothes or books.
Pack a utilities bag to be used on arrival at the new house.
Empty the fridge. Pack edibles or give the neighbors a treat.
Cancel deliveries and subscriptions on time. Confirm the room has cable, electricity and water connected before moving in.

Say goodbye to “Summer” in style and attend the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral on Labor Day, 2018. The procession starts at the north end of the Bethany Beach Boardwalk in Delaware, at 5:30 p.m.
Not only is it a family event, but it’s free. Also, don’t hesitate to dress for the occasion in black or costume.
Three jazz bands will serenade the crowd. They include the Dixie Cats, the Downtown Dixieland Band, and the Jazz Funeral Irregulars. Sway to the Dixieland music, and you will find yourself in a New Orleans state of mind.
The tuba’s moan alerted us that the death march had begun. Mourners strolled to a solemn “Amazing Grace” southward on the Bethany Beach Boardwalk. Crowds lined the boardwalk along with the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral participants. “Summer” had died that day, and the crowd had come to pay their final respects.
A nun escorts Summer to her final resting place.
Purple, gold, and red Mardi Gras beads were the accessories of the day. They hung from necks, wrapped around arms, and threaded through fingers.
Other costume accessories included fedoras, dark sunglasses, and black tee-shirts. Some participants draped their faces and bodies in black and purple veils. Most importantly, the covers served a double purpose: Those without tissues used their veils to wipe their tears.
A woman with a white painted face donned a red wig and tee-shirt, and she played the squeezebox. Furthermore, her partner had strapped on a gray beard and strummed the banjo.
Moreover, a nun who walked in the march while blotting her eyes wailed, “We will miss her, she was too young.” As she approached, we noticed her black and white habit with “Nun Of Your Business” printed across her headpiece and “Nun For You” across her chest.
Mourners bid farewell to summer at the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral.

However, hands down, though he didn’t wail as well as the nun, my favorite mourner was a man who dangled a white plastic skeleton from his neck and a spider from his brown fedora. He sauntered to the beloved’s final resting place with Mardi Gras beads draped through his hands that held a tarantula and a skull.
Jazz bands play Amazing Grace in Bethany Beach.
Just ahead of “Summer’s” casket, a bejeweled blond-haired angel carried her tombstone. It was inscribed with “Rest in Peace Dear Summer.” Most importantly, “Summer” had been born on the first day of the tourist season, Memorial Day, and died Labor Day.

The Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral ends at the bandstand.
As the pallbearers rolled “Summer” to her final resting place at the bandstand, she must have felt comfort from the fake flowers that enshrouded her. Moreover, she was not alone. Black cats, bats, witches, crescent moons, and stars danced on the Halloween cloth that draped her casket.
Orange lipstick accentuated “Summer’s” tan. Plus, a straw beach hat covered her bright yellow hair and dark glasses shaded her eyes. “Summer” went out in style.
Participants process the boardwalk at the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral.
When the rest of the procession arrived at the bandstand, Dixieland music replaced the dirge. Participants and onlookers tapped their feet and swayed to “Has Anyone Seen My Gal,” “Ain’t She Sweet,” “When You’re Smiling,” “God Bless America,” and more. “Summer” enjoyed a Dixieland send off.

“Summer” is laid to rest on Labor Day in Bethany Beach.
On Friday, August 31, 2018, stop by Bethany Blues restaurant located at 6 N. Pennsylvania Ave., Bethany Beach, Delaware. Please bid on silent auction items to support local charities. The Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral Silent Auction begins at 3 p.m. For more information call 302-537-1585.
Though for some, the end of the tourist season and Labor Day may feel like a letdown. But, the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral sends summer off on a happy note. Do yourself a favor and check out this musical event, and feel free to come in costume. This jazz funeral is an uplifting gathering and an excellent way to celebrate the end of summer’s tourist season.
Have you ever been to New Orleans or experienced a jazz funeral? What do you think about the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral?
I have never heard of anything like this. And people are shedding actual tears to mourn summer’s end. Oh, my! The music must be very festive!
Sharon, well, maybe the “mourners” didn’t shed actual tears, but it’s a fun way to end the summer tourist season, thanks for your comment.
This looks like so much fun! Though the end of summer is sad (wah! I don’t want it to end!) I’m sure the end of the tourist season is a reason to celebrate for many locals. The costumes are killing me, lol. Wish I could join you!
Omgosh, how hilarious is this! I love it! Although, I personally can’t be tooooo sad that summer is over because my favorite season comes next! Now, for the end of Fall, I would wear black haha Thanks for linking up with #TheWeeklyPostcard!

What sort of jobs do you think Countryside Jobs Service advertises?
Countryside Rangers, of course; Countryside Officers, Rights of Way and arboricultural posts, yes, those too. But what about Volunteers Co-ordinators or Ecologists, did you know you'll find those too? CJS actually advertises a lot more that you first think.
Every year we collate basic details of the adverts we've published; mostly for use in the office and some for inclusion in our information to readers and advertisers. Last year's numbers show that we advertised for more ranger type jobs than anything else, no surprise there! However the next two biggest categories were for jobs in arboriculture and ecology closely followed by trainee / apprenticeships with more than 250 posts in each group and over 200 working in environmental education. In our 2013 subscribers survey you asked for more horticulture jobs and to include outdoor activities instructors and working with animals and wildlife (zoos and similar) so we started including those making these the biggest 'growers' in terms of numbers of vacancies as we started sourcing more of these types of roles. 5.6% of our advertised vacancies were for horticultural jobs, 3.1% for outdoor activities and 2.6% for wildlife work, what's particularly pleasing for us is that you've obviously been applying for these and impressing the employers because now nearly half of the animal work jobs come direct to CJS and over a quarter of the outdoor activities and horticulture roles. Which will please you too because it will mean that we get more of these sorts of adverts.
You can see the range of vacancies and the number of roles advertised in a nice neat table here. And it's probably a greater range than you originally thought.
As it turns out it's more than some of advertisers thought too!.
One of our regular advertisers phoned to ask if we'd consider advertising an Environmental Education officer post and was quite surprise when we said that they account for over 6% of our total adverts. It's the regular advertisers that sometimes lose sight of the width of CJS, we've made a note that we must include more details in our next advertisers information pack and when it's published make sure that every advertiser receives a copy - whether they read it or not is another matter!
This graph shows the number of roles advertised and the proportion of each group sent direct to CJS.
Despite our advertisers slight confusion over 60% of all adverts are sent direct to CJS, the remainder are sourced from national press, specialist publications and from over a 1000 individual company and council websites checked twice weekly, it's a mammoth task.
As you'd expect our best known areas have the higher proportion of direct adverts, 81% of roles for rangers came direct to CJS, 70% of rights of way vacancies and 65% Countryside Officer type posts. What's maybe surprising is that we also have high proportions of direct adverts for ecologists, researchers (mostly field workers), community involvement project work and environmental education officers.
As we continue to analyse the data from last year there will be more reports to follow, on geographical distribution and types of contracts offered.
NB: Data is across the whole of CJS not just online adverts. To gain access to all of these vacancies you need to subscribe to CJS Weekly, more information on that here.

I have no time on my hands these days so looking to offload 3DSlotMachines.com along with the .net and .org domains.
The .com has been aging for 2-3 years now with a few placeholder pages but obviously assume no traffic or income as it's literally only a few pages that were thrown up and no link building has been done.

In order to let us realize the entire process of spiritual development, the Creator created the system of connection between Him and us. He uses this system to control us from Above, and from beneath we can use it to ask for and receive help from Him.
1. The World of Infinity, where the Creator is found with His fully revealed strength.
2. The level below the World of Infinity referred to as the “World of Adam Kadmon,” where the Creator divides His influence into five types, according to the five levels of our ego above which we can ascend.
3. Beneath the World of Adam Kadmon, there is the governance and surveillance system which we refer to as the “World of Atzilut.” The World of Atzilut divides into five parts: Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, and Malchut that are called Atik, Arich Anpin, Aba ve Ima, Zeir Anpin, and Malchut (Nukva).
As they pass through Zeir Anpin, these Lights come to Nukva, that is, Malchut of the World of Atzilut, which is called “Shechina” since all of the Light from Infinity, intended for the souls, comes to it. This Malchut is also called the “gathering of the souls of Israel” because it incorporates all the souls that wish to become “Isra-El” (“straight to the Creator”), that is, to ascend to the World of Infinity.
4. Beneath the World of Atzilut are the Worlds of Beria, Yetzira, Assiya (Worlds of BYA), where our souls exist.
5. This world is located beneath the Worlds of BYA.
In the language of The Zohar, Malchut is called “earth” and Bina (Ima) “heaven.” In The Zohar, Zeir Anpin and Malchut are also referred to respectively as Shochen and Shechina , the Creator (Kadosh Baruch Hu) and the gathering of the souls of Israel, the Groom and the Bride, the Masculine and the Feminine parts (Zachar and Nukva). Every one of these components of reality receives many names from The Zohar in the language of the legends (Midrash). And for this reason, in order to help us connect with their inner essence, Baal HaSulam meticulously adds Kabbalistic terminology next to the words of The Zohar.
This article is from 2010. Where can I find the book, please?

Irritably tapping his foot, the vassal’s squire gave Rowan a sour frown since he arrived in court. The squire stood to the right of a granite table – his master's current post. The vassal, interested in witnessing how Rowan would handle the situation, sought to be his case’s judge.
Soleil court had always been open to all citizens. Hence, anyone could stick their noses on the latest happenings inside. Many native folk, in beige, green, azure or pastel yellow, came to court to witness the trial.
“A native told me you can command liquid fire,” the vassal interrupted.
“Rule eleven, my lord,” the squire said. The townsfolk broke into murmurs, Rowan guessed that he broke a special rule.
“It is blasphemous!” the squire added.
“Yes. Put it bluntly, it is blasphemous,” the vassal agreed.
“Huh?” Rowan stared blankly at the vassal and squire because he had no clue what they were talking about.
“Oh-” the servant noticed the vassal’s annoyance with his actions and behaved himself.
In the end, the vassal sentenced Rowan to two hours of whipping, and two days of work in the mines. “You cannot do this! I don’t know that it’s forbidden to morph in Soleil,” Rowan begged for pardon.
Rowan felt dread and wonder from the townsfolk’s stares as guards escorted him to the dungeons.
Before dusk, white tents of varying sizes were set up in an abandoned quarry near the mines. All tents had Soleil’s sun insignia on its sides.
That night, Greendale refugees ate their pumpkin soup and bread in silence. Everyone knew about Rowan’s fate.
“My Lady, please calm down.” The servant of Rowan’s mother consoled her to no avail.
“No! They treat us like slaves!” Rowan’s mother stood up. “We are not like this to them in when they are Greendale!” She only composed herself when she saw Soleil guards coming to her tent. After a short interrogation, she sent them off, bidding them goodnight.
Clover, and Hana were in the same tent as Rowan’s family.
“Already done?” Clover did not hear Hana. She left a half-eaten meal and headed outside the tent, not even bothering to be excused. She could not bear to eat. No other Herbard had reached Soleil. Add the illegality of morphing in Soleil, she worried that the morrow won’t bring any good news.

From Electronic Musician: Hear Web Clips, audio clips, audio examples, PDFs, and other downloads outlined in the December 2009 issue of the magazine.
Web Clip 1: Bill O''Rielly and Keith Olbermann share Djay 3''s turntables and effects to help bring out the lighter side of their endless exchange.
Web Clip 1: In this clip from “Umbrella Beach,” listen for the swooping sound leading into the chorus. Young achieved this effect using a volume automation curve on the master track of Reason''s sequencer.
Web Clip 2: Here''s an excerpt from “Cave In," one of the songs that''s helped Owl City get noticed.
Web Clip 1: This simple drum loop is first heard with no alterations or extra processing, and then with boxy, mutated snares processed within an edit group.
Web Clip 2: In Groove Menu mode, a Stylus RMX channel is polyphonic, giving you the option of dynamically layering and varying the grooves in a set of related grooves called a Suite.
Web Clip 3: The Stylus RMX Capture button lets you record MIDI variations created by Chaos Designer. Here, the first couple of passes are unaltered. Those are followed by MIDI tracks created by capturing Chaos Designer''s output.
Web Clip 4: In this clip, I''ve made a custom edit group to apply Chaos Designer to only the final half-measure of the loop.
Web Clip 5: You can create incredibly dynamic multis simply by using a combination of MIDI tracks for parts and assigning a MIDI message to the Multi Start and Stop button.
Web Clip 1: EM asks about Richard Devine''s forthcoming release, an electro-acoustic DVD in surround sound.
Web Clip 2: Devine discusses recording and performing in surround and talks about field recording.
Web Clip 3: Devine tells EM where he gets his titles and chats about the influences of art and architecture on his music.
Web Clip 4: Devine reveals how he became a sound designer and launched his career.
Web Clip 5: Devine talks about designing sounds for software companies and the challenges of being in demand.
Web Clip 6: Devine answers questions about software and the Yamaha Tenori-on.
Web Clip 7: EM asks about Devine''s synthesizers and sequencers.
Web Clip 8: EM questions Devine about performing and new technology.
Web Clip 9: Devine talks about designing sounds for synthesizers and about the JazzMutant Lemur.
Web Clip 10: Devine discusses his music education and musical influences.
Web Clip 11: Richard Devine shows EM around his personal studio at his home on the outskirts of Atlanta.
Web Clip 1: In this example, a pair of MKH800 Twins (see Sidebar) is put into different pattern possibilities, each more directional than the previous (adjusted for equal loudness). The order in the clip is omnis, cardioids, hypercardioids and then back to omnis for comparison. Here, the effect is subtle but significant for acoustic music. Listen in particular to the drum hits, volume of the string section on the left and presence of the trumpet section. Any of combination of these can be dialed in after recording, which is a valuable option when there is no opportunity for a soundcheck at a live concert.
Web Clip 1: A melody using the Minimoog V's delicious default tri-oscillator bass patch.
Web Clip 2: The same melody through the '57 Deluxe amp and '64 Vibroverb cab.
Web Clip 3: A lower input level subdues the treble distortion while preserving bass saturation.
Web Clip 4: A pre-distortion delay puts clean reflections on a harshly overdriven synth.
Web Clip 5: A timid staccato synth effect from the Arturia Minimoog V.
Web Clip 6: A subtly overdriven chain through three layers of effects from Amplitube Fender's rack renders the effect not-so-timid.
Web Clip 1: Reviewer Asher Fulero takes us on a whirlwind tour of the Mackie 820i's layout and features.
Web Clip 1: It''s not the least-expensive way to assemble a modular synth, but it can be done if you have a CP-251, an MP-201 and a pair of Moogerfooger pedals like I have here.
Web Clip 2: In this clip, I''m sweeping parameters on my Moog ring modulator and lowpass filter at the same time I''m sweeping parameters and triggering an envelope on my Doepfer modular synth.
Web Clip 3: I''m running my Fender Stratocaster through the ring modulator and lowpass filter to my Marshall amp, while sweeping various parameters with the MP-201.
Web Clip 1: This clip is made from the same MIDI clips used in the software piano round-up "Software Eighty Eights". It comprises a little stride, some gospel, an excerpt from the Chopin Fantasy in F minor (Opus 49), a Latin montuno and a series of cluster chords. All clips were played in real time by round-up authors Marshall Otwell and Charles Otwell. Here, each segment is crossfaded from Close to Player to Distant mikings.
Web Clip 2: This is the same clip as in Web Clip 1, but the crossfading is between the Neuer Saal, Mozart Saal and Grosser Saal convolution-reverb spaces using the factory default reverb amount and the Player miking.
Web Clip 1: The microSAMPLER includes 21 effects derived from the Korg Kaoss Pads. Here I created a pattern with some of the loops in the ROM bank and ran it through the Talking Modulator and Grain Shifter effects while twisting the two control knobs. You can specify whether each sample goes to the effects or stays dry; I left the electric piano loop dry here.
Web Clip 2: One of the microSAMPLER's new effects is a Kaossilator-style looper. It records and loops one bar of audio, and then overdubs any new sounds you make. It's a great way to make thick textures. In this clip, I vocalized into the microSAMPLER's mic, creating rhythms and harmonies. Note the shaky pitch of my first harmony vocal, about 20 seconds in. By overdubbing more passes at the correct pitch, I created a chorus effect. In fact, a good way to use this effect is to start singing and then commence recording by pressing the top C key, which unmutes the mic. Sustain your note as the Looper cycles around and you can create a chorus without even stopping.
Web Clip 3: The Auto Next sampling mode chops incoming audio into rhythmic slices and assigns them to adjacent keys. Here you'll hear a two-bar drum loop I sampled from Instant Beat, an iPhone drum machine. Then you'll hear the beat sliced up, with the last few notes triggered in a different order. (Auto Next is designed to turn a drum loop into a drum kit.) Next, I crank the tempo from the original 100 bpm up to 145 and down to 75 so you can compare how the microSAMPLER time-stretches the original loop and the sliced version.
Web Clip 4: On the Korg forum, "DeadVolume" discovered you can sample in Auto Next mode while a pattern is playing, replacing the slices with new audio on the fly. Here I replace eight samples from Key Visuals Speak EZ with new ones I played live from iZotope iDrum Beatboxing Edition — two more iPhone apps.
Web Clip 5: Loading the microSAMPLER with a Bill Laswell loop and some free samples of pots and pans, I sequenced this groove, and then soloed with one of the pan samples. (The microSAMPLER transposes any sample across the entire keyboard so you can play it melodically.) Also notice the clap sound, created by slapping several keys of plastic-lid samples with quantization disabled.
Web Clip 1: This is a clip of my guitar''s bridge pickup through Studio Devil AMP''s Soldano SLO emulation. You can hear how dynamic and amp-like this model sounds.
Web Clip 2: This clip is my guitar''s bridge pickup through Amp Modeler Pro''s Fender Twin emulation. The amp isn''t doing a ton of tone shaping, but the lush chorus, tremolo, echo and reverb are creating a Cocteau Twins–like wall of sound.
