Per person: waitlist for shared room with private bathroom, and three vegetarian meals per day (Thurs dinner through Sun lunch).
Dzogchen - Natural Great Completeness - is the expansive heart-essence teaching and practice that points out the inherent goodness within us all. This consummate spiritual approach has been passed down in an unbroken lineage from the Himalayas for 1,400+ years.
The "Six Vajra Verses" are among the earliest Dzogchen texts. They were translated into Tibetan in the Eighth Century by the seminal Dzogchen lineage holder Vairotsana, and a copy was sealed in the Dunhuang Caves from the Tenth Century until discovery in the early Twentieth Century.
Accessible to all, regardless of religion (or none), Dzogchen introduces us to the birthright we all share: the innate freedom of being. Ever-present, yet often momentarily obscured by our habitual patterns of reactivity, this spacious wisdom-awareness is effortlessly revealed. Retreat is a rare and precious opportunity to experientially explore our inmost goodness and freedom, in a contemplative environment among kindred spirits.
Gentle, noble silence is observed outside the teaching hall, in order to deepen our experience. Through this gift of tranquility we offer each other a unique respite from our usual busyness and over-stimulation, and allow refuge and relaxation to unfurl effortlessly. The lovely surroundings are also conducive to simplicity, slowing down and a newfound sense of spirituality. We retreat temporarily from our worldly routines and concerns, allowing us to renew and recharge our hearts in a way that is both inspired and invigorated.
The Lamas will teach each day and offer lively Q&A sessions in the hall, as well as optional private interviews for one-to-one advice on meditation practice. Retreat will also include guided and silent meditation sessions, heart-opening chanting, and outdoor sky-space meditation; as well as gentle breath-body awareness-yoga each morning and plenty of free time for personal practice. All sessions are optional.
For twenty years, Lama Daniela and Lama Christopher have each practiced and studied intensively under the guidance of their root teacher, Lama Surya Das, as well as other accomplished masters, Himalayan and Western. Besides completing numerous extended silent retreats, they have been teaching for more than ten years and were ordained as Lamas in 2015. They are thirty-ninth in direct succession to this Dzogchen lineage spanning fourteen centuries. In addition to their commitment to the authentic and accessible transmission of these timeless wisdom teachings here in the West, they are also both joyful parents and have each enjoyed life-long professional careers.
The retreat will be held at a beautiful retreat center in San Marcos, CA. The hall and all guest rooms enjoy airconditioning and heating. Rooms will be assigned in order of payment, so early registration is encouraged. The center is set on 655 acres, all of which are a non-smoking, alcohol-free and drug-free environment. There are numerous walking trails to enjoy.
Registration fee of $325 per person includes accommodation and three vegetarian meals each day for this retreat (dinner Thursday evening through lunch on Sunday).
Accommodation is in either a private (waitlist only) or a double room (you may choose, on a space-available basis). All rooms have private bathrooms.
Registration does not include any contribution toward the other direct and indirect costs of running the retreat or the other activities of Dzogchen Fellowship; retreatants are kindly asked to visit this page to find out more, and to make a voluntary contribution to help support this activity. We need all retreatants to contribute at some level, please.
Registration does not include an offering for the Lamas, which will be accepted in the traditional form of Dana (voluntary donation) in honor of the teachings at the end of retreat. Further details will be provided then.
All voluntary donations may be tax deductible.
Full payment must be made at the time of booking. See here for payment and refund policy.
SPACE IS LIMITED, so please reserve your space by registering online. | 2019-04-22T02:58:24 | http://dzogchenwest.org/event-2325835 |
Many times when people think of the Netherlands they think of windmills, the famous painter Vincent van Gogh, the canals in Amsterdam, tulips, and traditional wooden clogs called Klompen. However, Holland offers much more to travelers, and there are plenty of tours of Holland that deviate off the beaten path. For instance, Holland Tours Schiphol features tours to Madurodam, the smallest city in the Netherlands.
Holland Tours Schiphol, located in the Netherlands, has 11 tours of Holland including private four-hour tours, which feature groups of no more than eight persons. Tour transportation includes a smoke-free, obstruction-free, eight-person lavish minivan. For larger groups, Holland Tours Schiphol utilizes a large bus. Most tours range from two and half to four hours in duration; however, private tours last a minimum of four hours, and can last for as long as 10 hours, depending on the destination. Costs for tours do not include admission into attractions or food.
4Winds Specialty Tours offers tourists a few different bike and barge tours within Holland. Tours range from four to 15 days, and provide sleeping accommodations, maps, breakfast, lunch, and transportation, which includes bike rental and barge admission. Tour destinations offered by the 4Winds include Maastricht, Liege-Namur, historic monuments in Bruges, cheese sampling in Gouda, cycle trips to the Kröller-Müller museum and Rosendael castle, and a barge trip on IJssel lake.
Holland Tour Guides, located in Amsterdam, features guided group tours, individual tours, and custom-made tours. For those tourists who are opposed to walking, the custom-made tour offers travelers their choice of transportation, including bicycles, boats, roller-blades, shuttles, or scooters throughout Holland. Touring destinations include Leeuwarden, Leiden, the Saint Pietersberg, the fishing village of Medemblik, the traditional cheese market in Alkmaar, and a cruise through Amsterdam's famous canals. Locations are chosen by the tourist for the guided tours, which are led by a professional tour guide.

Whew! Today was a crazy day...it started out fairly normal, though. I was really in the mood for pizza. Homemade pizza. For breakfast. My favorite way to make a pizza is just grab anything good...everything good that's laying around and slice & dice...and bake into bliss! The pizza turned out beautifully. The day seemed "regular" enough. Then I decided that I needed to take a road trip. Things were feeling stale. So, we hopped in the car and headed to my mom's house (just a couple of hours away). We hit the beach...we drank some wine...we raided a taqueria...and we watched fireworks. And now, here I sit at a little past 1 o'clock in the morning writing this post. I don't sleep well when I'm not at home, so I figured I may as well use my time wisely (as opposed to tossing and turning). Plus, I really wanted to enter this pizza into this week's BSI (Blogger Secret Ingredient): Potato assignment; which is being held at Chez What? this week by Christo (aka DoggyBloggy). So, here's to fun weekends and spontaneity and pizza for breakfast!
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Prepare your dough...get it rolled out onto your pizza stone or baking sheet. Drizzle with Olive Oil. Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning, Crushed Red Pepper and then grate some fresh Parmesan over it.
Have your chosen toppings sliced, diced & ready to go. I decided to use onion, garlic, plum tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, ham and this weeks BSI...potatoes (b-sized reds to be exact...sliced paper thin!) Pile all of your toppings onto the pizza. Next, add some sliced homemade Mozzarella (yup, here's one application of that mozzarella I so recently made), crack a couple of eggs on top, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, sprinkle with some more crushed red pepper and freshly grated Parmesan and pop into the preheated oven for ~15 minutes.
Let sit for a few minutes so you don't burn the top layer of skin from that little section between your two front teeth.
okay - I am fully convinced of the benefits of pizza for breakfast, now pass me a slice, you're making me hungry!
What a great way to start the day- I LOVE the eggs on top- YUM!
Who says pizza has to be for lunch or dinner? This is a breakfast of champions. No fuss, everything in one or two slices. My kind of breakfast! I's have this as a midnight snack even. yum!!
Heather, it looks so good! I love savory things for breakfast and would be thrilled to have this on my plate.
Sounds like you had a great day, too.
Love the new blog layout, btw.
Sounds like a fun day! The breakfast pizza looks delicious! I make a similar breakfast pizza but always scramble my eggs first, never thought of doing it this way! Thanks!
I am guilty of loosing the feeling from my tongue when I can hardly wait for a taste of something as wonderful as this...now I know BSI...I have seen it going around...great entry!
Up to my eyeballs in making stuff for this afternoon's festivities and then I came across your pizza and thought, "I can do this for breakfast..." Well, no I can't. But I can do it tomorrow! Adore breakfast pizzas and love your ingredients and your grand fresh mozzarella.
Actually, I love left over pizza for breakfast - it's the best part of pizza IMO!
I would eat this pizza for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
I can't sleep away from home either!
What a lovely spontaneous idea to go on that road trip and visit your mom! Lovely!
This pizza looks fantastic, I love eggs on pizza!
Yum, we agree - pizzas are a great way to use up what is in the fridge.
I have seen a couple of breakie ones lately, I will have to make one soon.
An amazing sounding breakfast!!! Wow!!!
OMG, this looks and sounds so good! I have never thought of having pizza for breakfast!
Your pizza is just 'heaped' with deliciousness! Great use of potato!
Here's to breakfast pizza and impromptu road trips--sounds like a fun time. The pizza looks just perfect.
Delicious, love the shot with the dripping egg yolk.. with pizza dough.. so perfect!
This is the most original breakfast pizza recipe I have come across. Beautiful!
Love the ingredients! I'm intimidated by making pizza by myself, but you make it sound so easy.
Oh wow. That looks wicked good, love it!
You put together all the tastes one could want for breakfast and made it into pizza. A happy family would love this.
mmmm....the only time i've ever had pizza for breakfast is when its left over from the night before LOL. That looks way yummy.
Pizza is great license for creativity. And hooray for spontaneity! I love that you just got up and drove. That's what a weekend should be.
We always love pizza, but for breakfast - nice! Creative addition of eggs on top!
Pizza for breakfast is the best but breakfast pizza is even better!
I'm seriously drooling over this! It looks so good!
This pizza sounds wonderful for breakfast, love the egg on top! Hope you had a great holiday weekend!
Oh, yeah, pizza for breakfast! Way to go! Good for my tummy!
oh I LOVE eggs on pizza! you don't see this much in America, but it's so popular in Asia, and I wonder why not here?!
I've done potato pizza before, but never with eggs. This looks super tasty. I'll have to keep it in mind for the next time I make pizza.
This looks so yummy! I bet its awesome cold the next day too!
My husband read this recipe over my shoulder......and it looks like I'll be making it tomorrow morning! It looks so good, and I'm sure tastes even better. Great post!
How funny!! As we were eating our Chicago style pizza pie, I said we should try a breakfast pizza next!! And here you have one and it looks delicious!!!
Now that's a pizza I can cozy up to. Funny thing though, dare I say, I'm not much of a pizza lover. However, Pizza for breakfast well now, yes, yes, and yours looks heavenly!!!
I just know tonight when I'm tossing & turning, I will be thinking about your pizza!
Oh yum! Birds are singing, pizza is cooking, and I know I'm in paradise ;) Seriously, pizza is my favorite food ever, and pizza with eggs and potatoes sounds absolutely dreamy.
I love your use of the word "stale" to describe things at home. I think "stale" describes kids home from school in the summer, arguing with their friends, rainy weather for a week and nothing to do. I love that word!! I've always wanted to make a breakfast pizza, but my husband doesn't like the idea. I should tell him to go eat breakfast at Cracker Barrel and get on with my own idea : ) I'm dreaming up a way to add maple syrup to the pizza.
Wow!! it sounds like a fun day. | 2019-04-21T20:05:26 | https://www.allroadsleadtothe.kitchen/2009/07/good-morning-pizza.html |

One of America’s most beloved unofficial holidays is almost here. No, not Jeff Goldblum Day. Something almost as cool: Moon Landing Day.
First man on the moon – not to be confused with the first man born on the moon.
This upcoming Thursday, July 20th, is the 48th anniversary of humankind’s first steps on the moon. And so in honor of this, I have some special things happened related to The Moonborn.
If those three promotions aren’t enough for you, don’t worry: There’s more fun stuff you can do that’s Moonborn-esque!
Check out D. F. Lovett’s New Website!
That’s right. There’s a new website. Check it out!
Last November, we had a party in honor of the release of The Moonborn, at the Boiler Room Coffeeshop in Minneapolis. For said party, I put together one heck of a playlist. Now, for the first time, you can listen to said playlist on Spotify. Enjoy!

117 Hudson: Sounds like "Saabing"
I had planned to write a whole specially crafted post about the next step in Emily's diagnosis but after a whole day of explaining it to person after person for reason after reason I simply don't have it in me. The clearest, simplest explanation I've given today is to my parents so I'm going to cut and paste that e-mail in here to let you know what's going on. I've got posts in the works for days to come and I'll keep plugging along but no matter what you read here, make no mistake, this is all I'm thinking about.
Not sure where I left off with either of you so I'll run down the whole thing. Took her in because she wasn't eating. Got her some anti-inflammatories for her supposed arthritis and an appetite enhancer. The appetite enhancer made her anxious and I found other ways to get her to eat so we stopped that and used the anti-inflammatories alone for a few days. Her blood work came back with some elevated liver levels so I thought the doctor was going to diagnose liver failure. We spoke again this morning and it turns out that, though the liver info isn't fabulous, given her lack of reaction to the anti-inflammatories and her current physical challenges (stumbling, knuckling over onto the top of a foot, moments of forgetfullness, etc.) her primary ailment is neurological. We don't know exactly what it is but the possibilities are tumor, stroke, inflammation or something else we don't know about. The only way to find out for sure is with an MRI or a CT scan. For that they'd have to anesthetize her which is very risky at her age and it wouldn't change the course of treatment or give us a chance at some miracle answer so I'm not going to do it. We've taken her off the anti-inflammatories to bleed them out of her system so we can start a course of steroids later this week. In the case of a tumor the steroids might shrink it. In the case of a brain bleed they might help her body clean up the extra blood. Her inflammation levels are just barely above the high normal range so it's not likely to be that. My money is on a stroke given where her physical limitations are showing up. So we're not looking at as drastic and disgusting a demise as liver failure (though with steroids in the mix we may get that later) but the future is uncertain. She may decline slowly and come up with new challenges along the way. She may have a bigger stroke and go all in one fell swoop. In the mean time we'll see if the steroids help and I've talked with the homeopathic guy so she's got immuno boosters and hepatic support vitamins and I'm cooking food for her and hand feeding her as necessary to keep her strength up. She's getting even more spoiled and she's loving it.
Probably doesn't need to be said that I'm heartbroken and hating the high level of uncertainty but the girl is pretty happy and comfortable so I'm calling it a win. For now.
Thanks for the explanation. I can imagine how hard it must be to explain it all over and over again, especially given the uncertainty. I'm glad that she's eating and relatively happy and comfortable, and I hope you can find as much happiness in that and in her as you possibly can. Hang in there. Hugs and treats for both of you.
I am sorry about your dog. It's so hard with pets because they love and trust us, yet they can't really tell us anything about where or how it feels.
I don't know if this will help. I rescued a dog years ago who was sick from the day she was born. After spending a small fortune I met a very realistic vet. He prescribed Prednisone. It's far from a cure, but my dog lived 16 years on that med and had a full and happy life.
Our beloved malamute suffered from thyroid problems which affected his liver; he also developed deafness and various digestive problems. He was a dear, dear, wonderful soulful dog. We spent thousands of dollars testing him and treating him with meds, but in the end, we decided not to subject him to surgery and other interventions.
He died at the age of 14 during a terrible heat wave here in L.A. - his weakened system simply couldn't survive the heat - it was 115 degrees on the day he died.
I've been out of the loop for a few days.
I am welling up just reading this and just want to come over there to hug you.
Please let me know if I can do anything.
We've been out of the loop too, so thanks for this detailed account. This is hard news, but I don't think it's the worst. Call us if you want the info on the holistic vet we used (haven't spoken to him in years so not sure what's up with him). Just try to enjoy every minute you have with her and try not to be sad. Sounds contrite, but that turned out to be the best advice we received when we got Cam's diagnosis. Love to you both.
These situations are so hard. Don't have much to offer but "thinking of you" and a cyber-hug. She looks like a wonderful dog and you are doing all the right things.
And I agree with ~annie: You're doing all the right things.
Ah. The decline of dear old dogs is so hard. I am watching Goldie with fear and trepidation. Her back leg has a tremor and is stiffening up and it is harder and harder for her to jump up into the back of the car...But most days are still good, so I just try to treat her like a princess for as long as I will have her. | 2019-04-21T14:22:38 | http://www.117-hudson.com/2009/09/sounds-like-saabing.html |

Whether it's a guy friend, a boyfriend, a husband, a brother or a dad, there are still some instances when women could be pretty clueless when it comes to getting personalized birthday gifts for men. After all, there tends to be a huge difference between men and women when it comes to sentimentality, priorities, and ultimately, what may or may not be considered as a fun or appropriate gift. As much as a woman might be delighted over a figurine or a stuffed animal, it doesn't always necessarily apply to men, and giving those items to one might have your gift ending up forgotten on some dusty shelf or in a box in the attic.
When trying to pick out a present for men in general, it's often a good idea to start off by trying to figure out what they need or enjoy. So yes, a bit of research might be necessary in order to be able to find something that they would consider a thoughtful birthday gift.
As much as we try not to generalize, men do have the tendency to prefer practical gifts that they can use every day, as opposed to those that serve no or little practical purpose, or can only be used on very limited occasions. For example, if you're giving a present to a guy whose work is related to IT and is always on his computer, a gadget to make his work easier or more comfortable would probably be appreciated. There are products out in the market such as ergonomic computer peripherals which he might enjoy, or he might also be interested in software that can help him with his everyday tasks. Of course, it goes without saying that making sure that your present is relevant to their interests plays a big role here.
Another thing to consider would be how most men tend to love gadgets. Whether it's a new phone, a new computer, a video game console, the latest in car stereo technology, or maybe even a high-tech screwdriver, the saying "boys and their toys" probably still holds true as they tend to enjoy tinkering with new systems and discovering the fun, nifty things that it can do. Also, more often than not, whenever they get their hands on a new thing of wonder, they will most probably end up showing it off to their colleagues or friends. They might not always remember to mention the person who gave it to them, right off the bat, but know that it's probably a good sign when they start going around being proud of the birthday gift you gave them, so have patience as they rave over your present.
In a nutshell, just remember that when picking out personalized birthday gifts for men, go with something they can use, something they can play with, something they love, or if you're creative or lucky enough, all of the above!

Since I met Rene + Stephanie, I could tell how in love with each other they were. I know everyone says that about couples getting married. However, If you witnessed the way Rene and Stephanie looked at each other, you’d probably agree with me that it’s the equivalent to the way a cartoon puppy looks at a warm apple pie cooling in the window. Every glance, I swore Rene was about to lift off the ground and float towards his apple pie at any moment.
Rene and Stephanie had a beautiful relaxed morning before heading off to their first look at the local Rose Garden in New Westminster.
Although they had this special moment to themselves, family was close by to join in with hugs and tears. Family photos are always important since you have the ones you love close to help you take in the moments on a such a special day.
After a great intimate family session, we headed out to do some portraits.
After portraits, we headed out for the Kingdom Hall ceremony. Friends anxiously awaited their arrival to join in on the excitement of this celebration.
Once the exchanging of vows and rings, it was time to head to the party. If you’ve never been to 100 Braid Street Studios, I suggest you go. Not only is it a rad little art studio, but the most beautiful, bright and intimate wedding space in the area. If you need more proof of the pure gold that is the studio, take a look at these reception photos.
The most amazing intimate reception with close friends and family was the best way for Rene + Stephanie to cap off the night. In such a beautiful celebration of love, it was easy to be happy, with joy and love passing from one person to the next, all around the room. Congratulations to Rene + Stephanie on a beautiful wedding and a happy marriage! | 2019-04-19T22:23:48 | https://tallyadphotography.com/2018/05/21/rene-stephanie-intimate-art-studio-wedding-new-westminster-bc/ |
Backstage buzzed with energy as performers and crew raced back and forth through the cramped dressing room, lit only by glowing, naked light bulbs dangling from wires as drums pounded and cymbals crashed on the small stage just beyond the thin, transparent sheet that separated fantasy from reality.
Chinese opera is deeply ingrained in the Chinese culture, with roots back as far as the Third Century. The large waves of Chinese immigrants who settled in Singapore over the past 150 years have transported this traditional form of musical dramatic theatre with them, performing it on makeshift bamboo and wooden stages in car parks and open fields across Singapore’s heartlands, most notably during Chinese New Year and Hungry Ghost festival celebrations.

Thank you very much for the fantastic massage you gave me a few weeks ago. As you know, I had been in quite a bit of pain with my arms from too much typing etc. The massage you gave me seemed to do the trick as I haven’t experienced any pain since, despite currently writing two 20,000 word court reports! So I want to thank you very much for all your help. I will definitely come back to you again in the future. | 2019-04-20T02:43:53 | http://reflexologyandmassage.co.uk/testimonial/suzy-moyal/ |
Ushio to Tora is the most recent adaptation of the classic manga of the same name. Here is a brief background on the series and some other shows fans of this anime are sure to enjoy!
Ushio to Tora is an anime currently airing based on a manga from 1990. The manga, written and drawn by Kazuhiro Fujita, ran for six years with a total of thirty-three volumes released. However, it was only ever adapted as a shortly lived OVA series. Now, Studio VOLN and MAPPA have teamed up to produce an extended adaptation.
Ushio Aotsuki is the son of a priest. They live in a long-standing temple that their family has lived in for hundreds of years. Ushio's father talks about a demon living underneath their temple. Five hundred years ago, Ushio's samurai ancestor had struck this demon with the Beast Spear leaving the beast unable to move. Ushio doesn't believe this story for a second. He thinks it is just some stupid fairy tale his father tells to scare him.
The series begins with Ushio's father leaving to go on a trip across Japan. After he leaves, Ushio enters the basement of the temple, which has not been opened in five hundred years. He sees two eyes glaring at him and eventually the body of a demon is revealed. The demon releases his aura through the basement door. This energy summons all the lesser monsters in the area to him. Ushio begins to see fish-like and insect-like monsters swarming around his friends. The demon tells him that he will stop the monsters if Ushio pulls the Beast Spear out of him and sets him free. Ushio agrees, but holds on to the spear to make sure the demon doesn't escape and cause destruction. Ushio decides to call his new companion Tora, meaning Tiger, because of his color. Thus begin the adventures of Ushio and Tora.
There are two types of fantasy based anime. The first is anime in the lines of Berserk, The Vision of Escaflowne, and Record of Lodoss War that utilize western fantasy staples, involving medieval essences such as dragons, wizards, ogres, and castles. The alternative Japanese fantasy type anime. Some examples are Princess Mononoke, Inuyasha, and Mushi-shi. These works create fantasy settings that are based in Japanese folklore and religion, making use of famous yokai (Japanese spirits), kami (Gods), and deities (Goddesses).
Ushio to Tora falls into the latter category. Each episode features a different yokai that Ushio and Tora have to face. The yokai they encounter are not inventions of the show, they are creatures that directly stem from Japanese folklore. Included in the show's cast of yokai are kamaitachi, ayakashi, and ungaikyo.
The Ushio to Tora series is an episodic "monster of the week" type of show aimed at a shounen demographic. Each episode involves a different yokai that Ushio and Tora have to fight off. The monster designs are all really cool and unique and elicit a sense of awe from the viewer. The show's episodic nature is a refreshing change of pace for a shounen show because most get bogged down by an overly complicated plot that runs for three hundred plus episodes, making it so you have to take notes just to stay in the loop. With Ushio and Tora however, you can jump in at any episode and not feel lost. In doing so, the show doesn't sacrifice any of the fun or spectacle of its shounen contemporaries.
I recommend Ushio to Tora for people who love their shounen action, but want something a little different out of it. The show is ridiculously entertaining, genuinely funny, and engaging. The characters, while not incredibly deep, are likable and draw you into the story. For those who are tired of the countless subplots and filler arcs of Naruto and One Piece, Ushio to Tora is waiting for you.
Inuyasha is the story of a young girl who transports back to a fictionalized version of the Sengoku era in Japan. The girl, Kagome, is in possession of the Shikon Jewel, which breaks after a demon attacks her. Her and her comrades must then travel the countryside fighting off yokai and demons to gather all the shards of the crystal. Inuyasha is similar to Ushio to Tora because both shows make specific reference to yokai and other aspects of Japanese folklore. Both shows also involve a "normal" human lead interacting with a "demonic" comrade.
In Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Urameshi Yusuki becomes a ghost after he is involved in a car accident. He is given supernatural powers and uses them to fight off demons. He does this in an attempt to earn his life back. The main similarity between Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Ushio to Tora is the fact that both shows feature main characters that are young boys who have ethereal powers. They both then use their powers to fight off demons and monsters.
Gon Freecss has set out to become the best hunter in the world. His goal in doing so is to find his father who he has never met. Gon befriends a few people who also want to become hunters and they team up. The team have to fight off countless hordes of monsters and other creatures on their journey. Gon and Ushio are similar characters. Both have impulsive and irrational tendencies. However, they both have a desire to do good in the world. Both have to fight monsters on the journeys they embark upon. Both series are also the second adaptation of a long running manga from the 90's.
All his life, fifteen year old Ichigo Kurasaki has had the ability to see spirits. Ichigo then becomes a shinigami, which gives him metaphysical powers. Once he becomes a shinigami, Ichigo uses his newly found powers to fight off the evil spirits. In Ushio to Tora, Ushio is the only one who is able to see Tora, unless under special circumstances. This draws a parallel between the two shows since Ichigo is one of only a few who can see spirits.
Aside from a thirty second advertisement for his manga Karakuri Circus, Karakuri no Kimi is the only anime adaptation of any of Kazuhiro Fujita's manga besides Ushio to Tora. It was a one-shot OVA from 2000 also known as The Puppet Princess. The story is about a princess whose kingdom has been destroyed. Her father was obsessed with creating puppets and made an army out of them. The kingdom was attacked by an enemy who stole the army of puppets. The princess's mission is now to destroy all the puppets. She enlists the help of a ninja to do so. It's an early 2000's OVA, but it's worth watching if you're a fan of Ushio to Tora to see some of Fujita's other works animated.

I have a daughter, she's 3. I went back to work when she was 3 months old, and my mom looked after her. She started talking by the time she turned 1, she is a very bright little girl and has a mind of her own.
I was thinking of putting her into a pre primary school next year as she has just had one on one attention, and i feel she needs to socialise with children of her own age. She does not seem to have a problem with this, as long as some one she knows is with her. She has told me that she will only go to creche if me or my mother teach there. I am a bit sceptical about her going of to crech, but i know it is for her own good. There are so many things that are bothring me about this issue: I am worried that her character gets broken down, sicknesses ect.
I have tried to bring her up to be an individual, and i feel that when your child goes off to school, the teachers and other children tend to break your child. I am trying to weigh out the pro's and con's and i just cannot come to any conclusion.
I reckon after one day at creche, new toys, new friends, she will beg you to drop her there again. Take her for one or 2 hours on the first day, stay with her, then the next day leave her by herself for 2 to 3 hours, then the next day the whole day... let her get use to it, but you have to let go of her.
And in another 3 years are you going to try and homeschool ypour child so that she doesnt have to be "broken down" by her classmates and teachers?
What you have created is a child who wants somebody with her all the time (she wants your mother or you to teach at the creche????) Its unrealistic - and in my mind unhealthy. How are you going to explain to her one day that sheneeds to go to school and no - you cant go and sit in the class with her?
Character cannot be broken down - as you fear - it is built through social interaction - something you seem to want to keep her from. Why are you not happy with her going to creche? - besides her wanting you to be with her (which is normal in any child - but they do learn to adapt). | 2019-04-23T22:11:19 | https://www.health24.com/Experts/Question/separation-anxiety-20041118 |
Thank you for posting this video, it provided an interesting perspective.
I don't think it's productive to call it an "aggressive and fact-based refutation of Chinese propagandists' talking points" when the whole point of shows like this is to provide a platform for honest debate about contentious issues. Flat out dismissing the guests as propagandists is really intellectually disengenuous.
I think it might just be the show's style, but the interviewer barely let any of the guests speak and asked a lot of loaded questions. It seems Mr. Charles Liu wasn't prepared to argue the topics discussed. However, I appreciate that unlike other conversations involving China, things were relatively civil.
What struck me was when Mr. Liu talked about how the impetus for him moving to China was seeing one of his classmates killed in the US for being Chinese.
They brought in an economics expert to talk about human rights. His entire argument was that he didn't know anything about the situation and that it didn't seem plausible from what he knew. I don't see how you can possibly characterize that as "casually discard".
China has lots of problems which the interviewees acknowledged. Throwing around petty insults like this is counterproductive the same way calling Donald Trump Drumpf is counterproductive.
Oh in that case I think we're both in agreement.
You're correct, but nobody's trying to ban high heels, which is the crux of the issue here. Who are we to say our brainwashing is better than their brainwashing when objectively they are no different?
because her development has been arrested mentally by her peers so that she can be made to wear a religious garment that's symbolic of sexual oppression.
Yeah I'll just go tell all my American acquaintances who do wear the Hijab they're brainwashed fools then.
I don't see how you and I as outsiders (and French legislators) could possibly make the decision that the Hijab is inherently a symbol of oppression. These women have decided that it isn't, and you can't just handwaive that away with "oh it's cultural programming" while also acknowledging that your opinion is also the result of cultural programming. You can't in good faith simply dismiss the opposing opinion as brainwashed. Objectively, why is the Hijab a symbol of oppression more so than high heels or skirts?
Wow I hadn't even considered that the whole incel meme could be an attack on those in your situation.
It seems that by bringing up people like Joey and Nux, it becomes more palatable to victim blame.
I apologize for buying into the narrative.
woman who spin her a tale of how she can be a strong woman who still wears the hijab.
That comes across as infatilizing these women. If they have made the choice to believe that who are we, as outsiders, to second guess them? Maybe you can be a strong woman who wears a hijab because it represents "ethnic/religious pride" regardless of whether you will face pressure if you choose otherwise.
"I've recorded so much more of my life than any person on that screen, and yet nothing I've done will offer this kind of connection to the people watching, and none of it matters like this does"
On flipside I have a grandparent whose acheivements are often lauded by my family. Yet I know little of his life and the only traces of his existence I can find are a couple paragraphs in an old journal.
It kinda gives me this feeling that even the greatest of acheivements and lives will in the end be just as mundane as mine.
What you're saying is true, but given that the issue is so emotionally loaded, sentiments like the above probably isn't the best way to effect change.
Perhaps whatever memes that were used to create an emotional attachment to coal could be repurposed to create an emotional attachment to renewables?
Forgive me if my comment seems naive.
His mom pays for his apartment.
I may be getting the causality backwards but could it be possible that the social isolation these people feel is exasperated by the fact that they have no reason to go outside and/or interact with other people regularly?
If Joey's claim that people suffering like him are becoming more common is true, then that really puts a damper on the sustainability of UBI.
If a woman choosing not to wear a hijab leads to harrassment then the hijab isn't the problem, the harrassment is.
IMO It's stupid to prevent harrassment of choosing not to wear a hijab by legally enforcing harrassment of choosing to wear a hijab. However, being neither French or Muslim, my opinion isn't educated.
Maybe memes should be dealt with the same way physical virii are: through innoculation. It makes sense that if we were desensitized to things they would lose their memetic potency.
On the flip side, it'll be great tool for organizing harassment campaigns. Imagine not even having to look for a target. | 2019-04-22T12:42:29 | https://tildes.net/user/diode |

Industry commentary surrounding catastrophe bond rates has suggested lately that market prices have reached a floor, but research from RMS reveals that returns in the asset class relative to risk values are actually higher this year than those seen in 2014.
One of the world’s leading catastrophe risk modelling firms, RMS, has said that investors in the cat bond market have experienced higher returns throughout 2015 than last year.
Recalculating expected losses within the market portfolio to take into account time-value money and seasonal variations, reveals that spreads have actually been higher this year, explains RMS.
“Primary pricing of individual cat bonds is based largely on the expected losses available from ILS portfolio management platforms, but true risk pricing can be calculated only by considering all dimensions of loss, including seasonal variations and the time-value of money.
“Only by having all bonds evaluated in one risk platform can changes in risk premium over time be better evaluated to identify new trends in the market,” said Jin Shah, director, capital markets, at RMS.
The news from RMS could point to greater cat bond price sustainability at the current low levels for a longer period, at least for certain layers of risk, at a time when prevailing market noise suggests that pricing in the sector may have bottomed out.
RMS explains that to gain an insight into the true pricing environment of the cat bond market, it applied the same model to over 130 issuances in the secondary trading markets.
The methodology revealed, for example, “that on Sept. 30, 2014, the difference between bond spreads and the adjusted expected loss was 2.22 percent, compared with 2.52 percent on the same day this year,” says RMS.
RMS continues to explain that as the hurricane season approaches cat bond spreads rise each year, and then fall as the season wanes. As a result RMS notes that it split certain analysis between issuances covering U.S. hurricane risks and those that cover U.S. earthquakes, to better account for seasonal pricing impacts.
Catastrophe bond issuance levels during 2015 has remained strong, following on from the record-levels witnessed during 2014, which was helped by the $1.5 billion Everglades Re Ltd. (Series 2014-1) deal.
And while some industry commentary has discussed the continued decline in rates and the possibility of pricing reaching a floor, the news from RMS reveals that investors and market participants are achieving better returns than in 2014, which will be welcomed news to those considering to enter the market and utilise the benefits of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market.
“Despite the prevailing commentary, the catastrophe bond market is returning markedly more to investors today than it did a year ago, when it bottomed out. But only accurate risk and return modelling reveals the true rewards,” said RMS. | 2019-04-25T09:05:48 | http://www.artemis.bm/news/catastrophe-bond-returns-higher-in-2015-relative-to-risk-rms/ |

The four-year-old Little Light (4f Walk In The Park-Luna Rossa, by Lit De Justice) proved a hot property at the Goffs UK Sale after racing at Aintree on Thursday.
Agent Aiden Murphy had the final say at £200,000 and EBN reported that Little Light will race for J P Magnier. “She’s a lovely filly with a great walk. At this stage I don’t know who will train her, but she’s immature and will do well for a summer out,” said Murphy.

Hi there Gabriele, a real pleasure to have you with us here today to talk about your books and writing experiences.
Hi, very glad to be here.
Let’s start first with your novels themselves, the “Gods Inc.” fantasy series trilogy consisting of “Incompetent Gods”, “Inclement Gods” (both available now) and “Incoherent Gods” (due out in 2018). Please tell us more about their plots and themes, their quirky protagonists and how the books link with each other in the series.
Incompetent Gods is an evil-person-wants-to-conquer-the-world story. The twist is that the only gods who know there’s something wrong are too incompetent to stop it from happening. Inclement Gods is about a group of atheist terrorists who have found a way to kill gods and “Liberate humans from their yoke!” type thing – only you realize that they are only doing it to take the gods’ place. The two stories take place one after the other, and there are a few links, but they can work independently.
Incoherent Gods, except for featuring a lot of the same characters, stands a bit more apart. Instead of revolving around Gods Incorporated, it takes place in the Lemuria Zoo, which shelters divine flora and fauna. An ancient evil witch is turning gods crazy to blur the barriers between the world of the living and the dead in order to avoid going to the hell she deserves.
Queen Louhi, the CEO of Gods Incorporated, a mortal demigoddess turned vampire on a diet, and her bodyguard Andrew are the two main recurring characters. Louhi is the little dictator in me, she stands herself apart most of the time, but she’s also human, with human feelings and failings. Andrew reflects the part of me that feels I’m getting old, that the world is changing too fast, becoming too weird. He’s also got a bit of a temper, which I find amusing.
The gods are great fun to write, even though it can be hard to get into a god’s head – mostly I go a little sociopath. It didn’t start out that way, but Jupiter is now definitely my favorite; he’s just so dumb and goofy, and as the stories progress, he’s gaining an emotional dimension I wasn’t expecting.
This is getting harder for me. Many of my favorite actors have passed away, and I don’t watch a lot of movies or TV, so the new generation is unknown to me.
Andrew: Alan Rickman would have been perfect, maybe Bill Nighy?
Jupiter: At first, I saw him looking like Patrick Swayze in Point Break, now I’m drawing a blank.
Richard Clark: Robert Downey Jr.
It took me two days to figure out how to answer this question. I’m a turtle writer, but I don’t feel any particular affinity with turtles. Could an elephant help with my failing memory? Finally, as a cat person, I settled for Hobbes (from Calvin and Hobbes) – Louhi has a lot of Hobbes in her.
I think the fact that I’m a native French speaker who writes in English makes my writing a little different, even if I don’t notice it personally, except when I catch myself using a word in its French signification. My husband says I have a French accent when I write… but maybe he’s just hearing me read out in his head.
As for themes: one thing I hate about our world is how it’s always being manipulated by elites (all types and from both sides of the political spectrum). Why don’t crooked bankers go to jail? Why do governments bail out or subsidize corporations that still lay off workers while their executives award themselves huge salaries and bonuses? Why is it that if you steal a car, you go to jail for years, but if you bankrupt a company and its employees’ retirement fund, you get a big fat severance package? I do know the reasons, but I find it incredibly disturbing that we have been so conditioned as to accept their validity. Well, until our Democracies and the Rule of Law can be made to work for the actual people, at least in my world I can throw these guys into the scorpion pit.
The hardest thing is starting to write in the morning. Once I get going (especially on a first draft – that’s my easiest), it’s wonderful, but some days I can agonize over the same paragraph for hours.
My apologies to all the poets out there, I’m really not into poetry. Historical figures: Hatchepsout, Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I… Notice the theme? I think women make great rulers, when they get the chance.
Authors: Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Lewis Carroll, Rabelais, Umberto Eco, Anne Rice…the list is endless!
There’s a lot of mythological research, of course – finding the right god for the job, then discovering his or her personality between the lines. Also, having never worked in the corporate world, I often need to do some research about the lingo.
To be frank, I don’t know. I was taking a break from the restaurant business, and it seemed like a relaxing thing to do. Next thing I knew, I had written a novel. It was incredibly bad, but I got stubborn about it. I went back to university to learn how to write, and it clicked that this really was what I wanted to do with my life.
When writing isn’t working, I like to do manual things: I paint pictures or fix up the house. It helps clear my brain so that after a week or two, I naturally get the urge to start writing again.
To study something more practical than history, or later, not to abandon the foreign relations option. But to be frank, I don’t regret much in my past – whatever I’ve done, it’s taken me where I am today, and that’s not such a bad place to be.
When I’m not writing, like I said before, I’m either painting or taking care of the house. I play a lot of tennis, and I still try to do a barre every day, but it’s getting harder with each passing year.
I’ve been working on translating my novels into French, now editing Incompetent Gods. I’m jotting down ideas for a fourth Gods Inc. novel. One project I’d like to revisit is an autofictional memoir type novel about my father who was a surgeon during WWII and one of the pioneers of reconstructive surgery. He was a pretty interesting man, and writing about him helps me get to know him better – he had me at 60, and passed away 18 years ago, so I feel I’ve missed a lot.
Learn how to write: take a class, get an MFA, read books on the craft. Be ready to take criticism and find someone honest who knows what they are talking about to tell you if you should even be doing it. The publishing world is a hard place, be certain you have what it takes and are willing to put in the effort before you jump in.

Acknowledging the increasing growth of home/offices as a viable business model, the Clients for this private residence desired a renovation that created street presence for their business while still maintaining the privacy of a home. The existing ground floor was reconfigured to create a large gallery-like space and kitchen, while additional rooms were added to the upper levels. Rear decks at all levels allow for full enjoyment of the outdoors in this downtown location. | 2019-04-22T14:49:13 | http://www.studiojci.com/storefront-house |
Have you ever turned off your TV and your SkyStream Android TV Box turns off as well? If so, this is caused by something called HDMI CEC or HDMI Consumer Electronics Control. For the rest of the article we will simply call it CEC.
So what exactly is CEC? CEC is a feature of HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 which allows different electronic devices to communicate and control other electronic devices through the HDMI cable. For instance CEC can turn off other devices such as a SkyStream Android TV Box when the TV is turned off. It can also be programmed so that when you turn on a device it changes the TV’s input source to the same source as the device that was just turned on.
While HDMI CEC can be mildly convenient for home theater junkies with 15 devices connected to their TV; the normal TV owner is normally confused as to why certain devices are turning on and off when they press the power button on their TV. Most people have no idea what HDMI CEC is and have no real use for it. It’s not a very popular feature and most people do not even know that it exists.
If you think HDMI CEC might be useful for you and your home entertainment center, Please feel free to do some research and set it up for what you would like it to do. But for the rest of 99.9% of people reading this who have no use for it and find it annoying, we will tell you how to turn off this setting.
The best way to make sure that none of the devices connected to your TV do wacky things when you power off your TV is to turn off HDMI CEC in your TV’s settings. While this may sound super easy, it can get confusing depending on what brand or model TV you have in your house.
Most of the big name TV manufacturers have come up with some kind of quirky name for HDMI CEC. Whatever clever name your TV manufacturer has come up with for it, rest assured it is simply HDMI CEC with a different name. Below is a list of some of the names that different TV brands have come up with for CEC.
As you can see, it is would be nearly impossible for the average consumer to pick any of these names (besides Hitachi & Vizio) in a setting menu and figure out that it controls other devices through HDMI. Hence the confusion.
So if you have any of these models of TVs, go into your TV’s setting, find this setting, and simply turn it off. This is the best way to keep your TV from telling other devices to turn on or off.
However there is another way to turn the HDMI CEC off on your SkyStream Android TV Box right through the settings. This will stop your TV from being able to turn your SkyStream Box on and off. This will not turn off HDMI CEC on your TV, which will still allow your TV to communicate with other devices.
So let’s show you how you can turn off the HDMI CEC setting on your SkyStream TV Box.
From the home screen, Click on the Settings section.
Click on Advanced, now click on CEC Control.
Click on the Yellow Square next to CEC Switch.
This will turn off all elements of the HDMI CEC.
Press the home button and begin streaming whatever you want to watch.
We hope this article was helpful and will finally put to bed the mystery of why your SkyStream Android TV Box was mysteriously turning off when your TV was turned off.

The federal mail and wire fraud statutes cover most any type of fraud that in some way uses the “mail” or “wire.” “Mail” includes not only the United States Postal Service but also any mailings sent through a private commercial carrier. “Wire” includes the use of a telephone, television, radio, internet, computer or other communication device. To prove mail or wire fraud, a prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant somehow used the mail or other communication device to perpetrate a scheme with the intent to commit fraud. Frequently, mail and wire fraud charges are used in conjunction with more specific type of fraud charges, such as bank fraud or insider trading.
What should I do if I am charged with mail or wire fraud or I am believe I am being investigated?
If you are being investigated for or have been charged with mail or wire fraud, the Law Offices of Timothy R. Anderson can help. Tim Anderson has extensive experience in handling mail and wire fraud cases. | 2019-04-22T17:04:51 | https://timandersonlaw.com/mail-wire-fraud/ |

My Gurus - compiled from various random interviews with Rinpoche.
Guru is the source of blessings, the root of grace. From the Vajrayana perspective, nothing is more important than meeting the right guru! The lama is taken as the very root of spiritual realization and the basis of the entire path to enlightenment.
I have been very fortunate to have met some of the greatest masters of the twentieth century. And I am so blessed to have had these three great masters as my root gurus - the 8th Kyabgon Khamtrul Rinpoche, H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and the 8th Kyabgon Adeu Rinpoche. They have left a lasting impression on me, and made me the person that I am today, for which I am greatly indebted.
Of the root gurus, Khamtrul Rinpoche and Adeu Rinpoche were pivotal in the transmission of the Dechen Choekhor Lineage of Drukpa Kargyu teachings in my life. They had in turn received the complete lineage teachings from their root guru, the 8th Kyabgon Drukpa Choegon Rinpoche, Choekyi Gyamtso in Nangchen Garh upon invitation and request by the King of Nangchen in the 1940s.
I was four years of age when Khamtrul Rinpoche recognized me as the reincarnation of the previous Choegon Rinpoche. At the age of six, I was then invited to Tashi Jong and formally enthroned by Khamtrul Rinpoche. At the age of fourteen, I received an urgent message from Khamtrul Rinpoche in Bhutan, who requested me to go to Bhutan immediately to receive the complete lineage transmissions and teachings of Drukpa Kargyu. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter he entered into parinirvana in Tongsa Monastery Bhutan after completed some of the most important transmission.
H.H. Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was still in Bhutan at that time, took on the mantle of teacher until he passed on in 1991. Khyentse Rinpoche imparted to me the teachings of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, and guided me to complete many practices in retreat, including Vajrakilaya, Green Tara, Buddha Amitayus, Vajrapani, Kurukulle, Padmasambhava, etc.
My most important and instrumental root guru of this life time was the 8th Kyabgon Adeu Rinpoche, where he transmitted the complete Drukpa Choegon Lineage's practices and transmission, and guided me to accomplish all the important practices and retreats of the Drukpa Kargyu, particularly the characteristic practices of the Drukpa Choegon Lineage.
My other important teachers in this lifetime, according to chronological order, have been H.H. the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa, H.H. the 68th Kyabje Je Khenpo of Bhutan, H.E. Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, H.E. Trulshik Choekyi Lodro Rinpoche and H.H. Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche. | 2019-04-26T15:56:53 | http://www.drukpachoegon.info/rinpoche-gurus.aspx |

Comfort-type foods are typically loaded with heavy, rich ingredients or excess carbs. But they don’t have to be! Create a 100% vegetable meal that meets the criteria for the transition into your juice-only Reboot or as a meal during your juice + food Reboot. This flavorful meal is also delicious for your transition out of your Reboot where you can add-in whole grains and lean, clean proteins. You can easily freeze leftovers to enjoy after your juicing ends.
Eat the rainbow with this dish! Rich in fiber and antioxidant-based phytonutrients like carotenoids, this meal can also help support a healthy immune and digestive system. Cooked cruciferous vegetables are a great way to enjoy this important family of veggies, known for their phytonutrients that assist in natural detoxification processes in the body. Because they’re cooked, anyone with an underactive thyroid can also enjoy them.
If you’re also cooking for the family, add a protein to this dish to make a complete meal. Here’s a quick guide: per person, add either ½ cup chickpeas, 3 oz chicken, or 2 eggs for protein and ½ cup cooked quinoa or brown rice for starch. Poultry and eggs preferably as local, organic and/or pasture-raised when possible.
Wash cauliflower, cut away stem, then cut half of the head into rough pieces, and cut remaining half into smaller, chopped pieces.
Wash and chop eggplant and zucchini, removing and discarding stem.
Peel and chop onion and garlic. Let garlic sit on cutting board letting the oxygen exposure potentiate some of the phytonutrients.
Wash and chop the chili pepper. Remove seeds to make mild or leave in for a spicy, hot flavor.
Wash sweet potatoes, peel and dice.
Wash greens and let dry, setting aside.
Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a pot or Dutch oven.
Add onions and pinch of salt, let cook until soft about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add cauliflower, eggplant, chili pepper, garlic, zucchini and potatoes.
Add turmeric, cumin, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, pepper and salt.
Let simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding broth and coconut milk slowly.
Reduce heat to low-medium and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Chop greens and add to pot along with peas, letting cook for about 5 minutes.
Add additional spices and seasoning to taste. Squeeze in lemon juice.
Chop cashews and set aside for garnish.
While dish is cooking, make cauliflower rice. Steam the other half of the cauliflower head for about 6-8 minutes until just softened.
Drain water and add to food processor or blender.
Pulse briefly so it resembles the shape of rice, adding pinch of salt.
To serve, add a spoonful of Cauliflower “rice” to bottom of deep bowl. Ladle cauliflower stew on top. Garnish with scallions and cashews. Enjoy!
Chili pepper: cayenne pepper (dried or fresh), jalapeno, serrano or other hot pepper. | 2019-04-18T22:35:09 | http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/coconut-curry-vegetables-with-cauliflower-rice/ |
Was a busy day! Have done work at my day job and towards the noon on represented The National Association for the Blind, Karnataka Branch at a press conference organized by GudVille – a start up that has a platform for non-profits to spread word about their activities and get connected with more friends and supporters.
My personal prospective is that non-profits should understand the programs they participate in and also should go away from charity mode. Every program will have its purpose and one may have concerns but it’s always good to first have a conversation privately with respective organizations rather blaming in public.
Later been to the office of LIC Housing to pay some of my dues but sadly they do not currently accept debit / credit cards and I did not have cheque book in hand. But had an interesting conversation with the Area manager.
Received feedback from the client and it’s my bad that I just missed some part of the work. Sorry client, rest assured it will be done soon.
Had a wonderful chat with my cousin Chaitanya! Nice talking you brother!
Emailed a set of constructive ideas for fund raising to NAB Karnataka.
Ah! tomorrow is International Day of Persons with Disabilities and I already see several organizations have planned up a lot! An exciting tomorrow ahead. Stay tuned. | 2019-04-22T15:58:30 | https://srinivasu.org/2013/12/2nd-december-2013-update/ |

Design Intense was founded by Eliza Alys Young [read her blog], who has a dual BFA from Maine College of Art in Graphic Design and Photography. In the early 90's she studied computer programming and taught herself HTML when there were no classes to take, no templates to buy, or software such as Dreamweaver. Since then, Eliza has designed several hundred websites, as well as taught web design, from basic to advanced, HTML to multimedia, on a university level. In addition, she was involved the development of the first web design curriculum for Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. In 2003, she was invited by NY Parsons School of Design, to teach two classes in web design and interface design at Parson’s sister school Altos de Chavón in La Romana, Dominican Republic. The response was so positive to the classes, which consisted of professionals as well as students, that she decided to relocate her web design business, Wolf Imaging, to the island’s capital city, Santo Domingo. At that time, the web market had just dramatically bottomed out in the United States but it was burgeoning in Latin America. Wolf Imaging was based in Jacksonville, Florida from 1998-2002 and at its height, operated with a large team, on international projects up to half a million dollars. When Eliza relocated the business to the Dominican Republic, she broadened the scope to include traditional advertising/graphic design, and re-branded the company as CreativEliza, a name much easier for her Spanish-speaking clientele. For six years CreativEliza provided creative services to a range of clients, many from Europe who were launching businesses in Latin America such as Sun Village, Reef Club Cozumel and Sanctuary Cap Cana. In 2009. the company went through a final re-branding and changed the company name to Design Intense to reflect the full scope of the business and to shift emphasis from the founder’s name. | 2019-04-26T02:33:51 | https://www.freelanced.com/freelancers/video-editing/us/california/mountain-view |

What are memes, demotivators and happy birthday jared meme?
A happy birthday jared meme reproduce and spread on social networks, like viruses. Particularly successful memes are becoming so popular that they are transmitted from user to user in a matter of seconds. In this regard, the happy birthday jared meme can be compared, for example, with the popular jokes. After all, the main purpose of a meme, as well as a joke, is a laugh, or a last resort, a smile.
The content of memes and happy birthday jared meme is closely connected with events in the country and the world, with the fashion and life of the vast majority of people on the planet. The popularity of the meme and the happy birthday jared meme depends on how accurately its content will reveal the essence of the above-mentioned spheres of human activity. So in connection with the fashion for cats, today the largest number of likes are recruiting memes about these animals. When the national football team loses the next match, on the Internet, memes immediately scatter, ridiculing the failure of the players. For many years, memes on eternal themes remain popular: relations between representatives of different sexes, friendship, loneliness. | 2019-04-24T18:42:26 | http://shahrazadcafe.com/2019/01/29/happy-birthday-jared-meme/ |

On November 14, 2013, the U.S. government crushed nearly 6 tons of elephant ivory in a historic demonstration of its commitment to stopping poaching and illegal wildlife trade. The action by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ushered in a new era in elephant conservation.
Ivory has a long history as a favored raw material for art—jewelry, statuary, piano keys and other decorative purposes. The commercial market for ivory, however, is the primary reason for the drastic overharvest and near extermination of African elephants during the 20th Century. In response, the world’s nations together made international ivory trade illegal in 1990. Elephant populations have been recovering since then, but a new wave of poaching since about 2010 is driving elephant numbers down again—and bringing a renewed sense of urgency to elephant conservation.
Kenya made the first commitment to destroying ivory when it burned its stockpile on July 19, 1989. They burned ivory again in 1991 and 2011, joined by two other countries. But ivory destruction took hold as a global strategy in 2013, when the Philippines and U.S. destroyed their ivory collections.
Other countries got the signal. Since then, 16 additional countries have crushed or burned their ivory stockpiles, including China, the largest market for illegal ivory sales. In all, 275 tons of ivory have been destroyed. Twice more, in 2015 and 2017, the U.S. crushed ivory, both times in Times Square, New York City. Unfortunately, confiscated ivory continues to accumulate.
Ivory destruction is symbolic, but real actions have followed. The U.S. made virtually all internal sales of ivory illegal in 2016 (only antique ivory and ivory included on musical instruments are exempted). China has instituted policies to do the same by 2018.

We’re proud to announce the addition of Brazil to OpenCorporates’ ever growing list of jurisdictions, adding a little over 9 million companies.
We’re really excited by this data – it was back in 2012 that our CEO first met the Brazilian government to argue for the publication of the company register as open data. Back then, the arguments were not well received, at least by the ministry in charge of the central register, even though others in government and the transparency community there were supportive. However, since then, transparency activists, and anti-corruption activists, both in and outside government, have continued to make the case, with the result that the basic company data is now available as open data.
The data that’s been published is the Receita Federal Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica (National Register of Legal Entities, also known as CNPJ), maintained by the Department of Federal Revenue of Brazil. Although only a limited set of data is being published (see below), we’re delighted that it has been published as open data, under a permissive CC-BY license. Unfortunately data is currently only updated every six months – the current files were published in January 2018 – and we will be pushing for it to be published at least monthly.
Registering a company with Receita Federal to obtain a CNPJ identifier is one of the required registration steps, before state-level registration with the Boards of Trade (Juntas Comerciais) to obtain a NIRE (Número de Identificação do Registro de Empresas) number, and municipal registration to obtain trade licences.
The absence of country-wide availability of NIRE registration numbers, as not all of the state-level Boards of Trade have online company registers.
Only a limited subset of fields available in CNPJ have been published as open data. For example, the data currently lacks incorporation/dissolution dates, and current status of a company, making it a challenge to differentiate currently active companies from those that have long been inactive.
Individual CNPJ numbers can be queried for these data attributes via this online form (Comprovante de Inscrição e de Situação Cadastral), which also displays address, incorporation dates, industry codes, legal form, etc, and we will encourage the tax authorities to publish these in the open data files in future.
Finally, many thanks to the transparency advocates in Brazil, both inside and outside government, who alerted us to the open data files, and helped us navigate the data.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TTopper from Good looking shoe! And comfortable too!! Bought these for the Cloudfoam feature because I can't see a reason not to choose a shoe without this or some other form of memory foam. Same great quality as any other Adidas shoe, just a little softer inside. I would definately buy these again. One thing I would note however, the pictures, nor the description indicate how green these shoes are. They are green! Fortunately I am OK with that. | 2019-04-25T18:39:09 | https://www.famousfootwear.com/en-US/Product/70530-1039197/adidas/Grey_Grey/Mens+Neo+Cloudfoam+Super+Daily+Sneaker.aspx |
Currently on display is a presentation copy of the limited deluxe first edition of Ernest Shackleton’s Heart of the Antarctic and The Antarctic Book: signed by him and all of the members of the expedition.
Heart of the Antarctic is the account of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-1909 led by Shackleton. It describes how he – accompanied by three companions and four ponies – reached within 100 miles of the South Pole before being forced to return due to lack of supplies. Retreat notwithstanding this feat outdistanced Shackleton’s predecessors and proved the feasibility of reaching the pole.
For the expedition, Shackleton was determined to produce a full book, written, illustrated, printed and bound in the Antarctic—the first of its kind, and he turned to the recipient of this copy Joseph Causton, who’s Eastleigh printing firm made possible Aurora Australis, the first book published in Antarctica, from which grew The Antarctic Book.
The book includes the 16 signatures of the shore party – and reproductions of drawings done by them – was issued only with this limited edition of The Heart of the Antarctic and has never been reprinted. This copy has been inscribed at length by Shackleton.
Also on display is a presentation-association copy of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. This first English edition copy comes from the library of Wells’ scientific adviser and close friend Sir Richard Gregory to whom Wells wrote the inscription.
The story is considered to be pioneering for its masterful blend of fiction and theoretical science, and at the time of publication it was an immediate success. Gregory, a professor of astronomy, was also expert in physics, chemistry and other disciplines. He wrote several textbooks and eventually assumed the editorship of the journal Nature, to which Wells frequently contributed. Wells often turned to Gregory – and to the experts Gregory contacted on Wells’ behalf – for insight and encouragement when writing his stories, which even today are lauded for establishing science fiction as an art form.
We also have a signed limited first edition of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s Le Petit Prince, one of only 260 copies signed by him. Saint-Exupery disappeared in a reconnaissance flight over the Mediterranean in 1944, and consequently signed copies of The Little Prince – his most famous work and the last published during his lifetime – are prized by collectors. This signed limited first edition in French is even scarcer than the simultaneously published signed limited first edition in English, of which only 525 copies were printed.
The story of a downed pilot in the Sahara and the mystical characters he encounters is one of the most widely published works in children’s and indeed French literature. Today the work is available in more than 250 languages – often with more than one translation. The story has been recreated on the big screen and on stage, for radio and television numerous times. There is even a graphic novel.
Brooklyn Gang by Bruce Davidson is the photo story of the Jokers, a teen gang the Magnum photographer documented during the 1950s. The limited first edition copy of the work here in Las Vegas is one of only 150 copies signed by the photographer and includes a photographic print from the book also signed by him.
The images garnered Davidson many accolades for its cinematic nature and historical document of a world set to disappear. For anyone in love with New York and its history, documentary photography or rock ’n’ roll, this book is a must.
Using a social worker to help establish a connection with the group, Davidson was able to earn the trust of his subjects and the ease with which they accepted his company and camera is evident. This was the first story Davidson shot. He was about the same age as the gang members and this documentary style launched a career that has lasted more than 50 years and which includes several books, countless exhibitions and numerous awards. One image was used on the cover of Bob Dylan’s 2009 album Together Through Life.
Finally we have a presentation-association first edition copy of Allen Ginsberg’s Journals Mid-Fifties, inscribed by him and with an original sketch to Lucien Carr, his friend and influential member of the Beat Generation’s original New York circle.
The book details Ginsberg and his times, from the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance to the trial of “Howl” to the death of his mother. Included are poem drafts of “America,” Kaddish IV and “Elegy for Mama,” along with poems, sketches, photographs and commentary. | 2019-04-24T03:52:53 | https://www.baumanrarebooks.com/blog/5-great-books-to-see-in-las-vegas-3/ |
According to regulatory requirements, financial institutions have to allocate a certain percentage of shareholders' equity for credit risk resulting from derivatives positions. This significantly reduces the capital available for other business opportunities and imposes a high cost of capital. Further, both regulated and non-regulated financial institutions are interested in minimizing collateral provisions.
Credit risk and collateral provisions can significantly be reduced by way of master agreements featuring netting. The risk-reducing quality of such netting agreements needs to be evaluated based on legal opinions or regulatory requirements.
Furthermore, each transaction to be included in netting has to be confirmed with correct reference to the governing master agreement.
The applications provide dynamically configurable functionality and data structures which can easily be adapted in order to meet new or changing business or regulatory requirements. | 2019-04-20T14:28:04 | http://framesoft.com/products/netting-suite |
Earlier this month, Maine Governor Paul LePage signed into law a new expanded sales tax nexus bill. Maine now becomes the 12th state to enact so called “click through” sales tax nexus. The bill was widely supported by traditional downtown merchants.
Sales tax nexus is anything but new. When most states enacted sales tax laws, there was no Internet commerce and mail order was still in its infancy. If you wanted to buy something, you got in your car and drove downtown. Of course, large retailers such as Sears maintained catalog sales for harder to find items. Because local businesses had a physical presence in the state, sales tax nexus wasn’t an issue. Virtually all retailers collected sales tax.
Even with the larger catalog retailers, most had a warehouse or retail store in state making nexus a non issue.
Sales tax nexus is the presence required before a state can require a seller to collect sales tax. Physical presence has always given rise to nexus. As explained above, if you have a facility within the state you are required to collect sales taxes on all sales within the state.
As commerce changed from Main street to mail order and eCommerce, many states expanded their sales tax nexus laws. The common definition today includes presence of property, employees, agents, delivery service or even sales people within the state.
Big Internet retailers such as Amazon.com still were beyond the reach of many states, however. While consumers often benefitted by not having to pay sales tax on Internet sales, local retailers claimed that the failure or inability to collect taxes from these out-of-state vendors was placing traditional stores at a competitive disadvantage.
In the newest wave of sales tax nexus legislation, states like Maine are adopting so-called affiliate and “click through” nexus laws. Under the recent Maine legislation, sellers with no physical presence will still be required to collect sales tax if they enter into commission based referral agreements or when they engage in relationships with other entities that have a presence in the state.
Under the click through provisions, sellers that merely pay in-state residents for placing links on their websites will be required to collect and remit sales tax.
While hailed by traditional main street businesses, Internet marketers have threatened to challenge these new laws nationwide. Whether simply affiliating with an in state business or having a click through link creates enough presence to meet the mandates of the U.S. Constitution remains to be seen.
The Maine Legislature’s budget analysts say the measure will bring in approximately $500,000 in new revenues annually. The bill’s sponsor and retail groups believe the legislation will bring in an extra $20 million in annual revenues.
As cash strapped legislatures struggle to close budge holes without raising taxes, expanded sales tax nexus bills and enforcement efforts are likely to emerge in many other states.

Thanks to new advancements in packaging and printing, brands are now making high quality, miniature versions of their products available to allow consumers to try them before committing to a larger size. Additionally, these smaller sizes are great to spread brand awareness.
You may be thinking that travel-sized products have existed for a long time, and you’d be right. However, the popularity of beauty sample service companies is what is currently driving this trend. Perhaps you’ve seen the ads, or maybe you’re a customer, but these innovative services typically deliver packages filled with varied trial-sized cosmetics. Each month, customers get a different group of samples.
Sample subscriptions allow cosmetic companies to get their products in front of customers that may not have heard of them previously. In fact, an NPD study shows that 83% of subscribers were influenced to buy the full-size product. And, because these services are paid for with a monthly fee, companies are now making money from their sample sizes. Though, when we say sample sizes we don’t mean the typical travel-sized products you can find in the grocery store.
Often, these items perfectly mirror their larger counterparts. Not only does this make them more attractive to the consumer, they’re user-friendly and tend to be fresher thanks to air-tight packaging. These are high quality samples of trendy, brand-name products, and really boost brand recognition.
As the trend grows, manufacturers are facing bigger challenges when it comes to printing. In order to match the larger brand images, companies now need to print intricate images and metallic ink onto smaller packages.
For more information about how this trend is changing cosmetic packaging and printing, check out this article by Beauty Packaging. | 2019-04-20T17:17:00 | https://www.packagingcosmetics.com/pocket-sized-cosmetics-gaining-popularity/ |
Paris climate accord: Pope criticises U.S. – Royal Times of Nigeria.
Pope Francis implicitly criticised the United States on Monday for pulling out of the Paris agreement on climate change, praising it as a means to control the devastating effects of global warming.
Under the deal, United States had committed to reducing its own emissions by 26 to 28 percent, compared with 2005 levels, by 2025. Many world leaders have criticised Trump for deciding to pull out. | 2019-04-20T01:08:06 | http://royaltimes.net/paris-climate-accord-pope-criticises-u-s/ |
Trading on the stock market is something many people consider when they want to start investing. In fact, it’s often the first thing people think of when they consider making some investments.
However, is it the best option for anyone wanting to build an investment portfolio? There can be many benefits and risks to choosing to invest in stocks. While you can do well with them, they can also be high risk.
Many people elect to invest in bonds instead or use other forms of investment. To decide if stocks are right for you, you need to take a look at the pros and cons.
One of the excellent things about investing in stocks is that you can earn dividends. Not all of them pay out dividends, but you can secure some excellent options that do.
Some of the stocks that give you great yields from dividends are low-risk compared to many others. It can be one of the best ways to make money from investing in stocks.
If you’re looking for a long-term investment, stocks are ideal. Their prices might fluctuate a lot in the short-term but they can show excellent overall growth.
For example, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has had drops in price but is beginning to climb. If you want to make a long-term plan, stocks can be one of your best choices.
Investing in stocks can be high-risk, but you also have a lot of choices. If you don’t want to invest in volatile or high-risk stocks, you can play it safer.
Although you will always face a level of risk, you can go for less dangerous choices. Well-established companies can make steady investments if you’re not feeling too brave.
But if you want to be riskier, you can look at less reliable companies instead.
Trading on the stock market may seem like it’s complicated. But with the wealth of free information out there, it’s easy to do your research.
A stock broker can give you advice, but you should also build your own skills.
Unfortunately, investing in the stock market comes with disadvantages too.
Buying stocks comes with greater risks than investing in bonds or other assets. You will always have to face some kind of risk, even if you try to limit how much.
You can’t go into trading stocks without doing plenty of research. You need to know how to assess a company to help you make a decision on whether to invest.
If you’re incredibly risk-averse, it’s best to consider other options.
If you invest in bonds, you can secure a return on your investment.
However, with stocks, there is no such guarantee. You have the potential to earn more, but you can also lose money.
All of this ties into risk and whether it’s worth taking a larger one to try and get a higher return.
You need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of investing in stocks before you go ahead.
It could be the right decision for you, but it might not be your thing. | 2019-04-18T19:11:21 | http://bizsmallbiz.com/pros-and-cons-of-trading-stocks/ |

We have with us Garth Koyle from Event Espresso to share some thought about their upcoming release of version 4 of their plugin and he is going to share a couple of his favourite plugins with us today.
With today overlord Google looking down on everything we have to sometime pay homage at the SEO altar and try to appease the Terabyte God. This plugin helps you appease that god without the blood sacrifice that so often seems to be required to be made on an obscure dark moon night on the 30 of February in the 14th year of a new century.
Set this plugin up and do a few configuration setting and you will get the credit with Google that you deserve for your content it creates a rel= author setting and will create an author box at the bottom in case you do not already have one if you do at the min it will place a last updated time on the post for you.
Well this one has some great promise but is not yet ready for primetime I think. The setup is a bit confusing and is not clean and intuitive. It has the promise of videos for a background but I was unable to get them to properly display with the lite version. It looks like to get the one that is easy to use you will need to spend $19 on the pro version.. It does have promise so may be worth it but as for the lite version will not ready just a rough sample. And it seems to add confusion to the mix they have 2 free version in the repository one with a bit more functionality called Full Page/ Full width Background Slider so if this does not confuse you nothing will.
Advanced Chron job manager for WordPress Cron tasks and schedules. This plugin allow you to manage WP Cron task viewing, deleting tasks and can schedule new chron tasks.
Also remember that WordPress Cron is dependent on the User. WP Cron fires only on the page visit so it isn’t always 100% accurate.

GlotPress is the open-source engine that powers the translation of WordPress, BuddyPress, and the WordPress apps for Android and BlackBerry. It is a collaborative tool, meant to replace the sometimes tedious process of translating .pot files with other tools.
This plugin uses Mandrill API to send outgoing emails, with or without attachments, from your WordPress installation. It replaces the wp_mail function included with WordPress.
Emails are tracked and automatically tagged for statistics within the Mandrill Dashboard. You can also add general tags to every email sent, as well as particular tags based on selected emails defined by your requirements.

When I joined GoJek 2 years ago, I was given the title of Product Engineer. And my job description was one a one liner -- "Solve hard problems?"
What ensued was a hypergrowth story in Indonesia that is still interesting and growing.
We have had multiple tech issues and yet we have an uptime of 99.99% Even in cases of downtime, we hardly lose transactions. We handle more food orders in a day than all food companies in India put together. We are the largest food delivery service anywhere in the world outside of China. Our teams are lean, with sizes typically one tenth of what most Indian product companies have. As a company with dev centres in Singapore, Bangalore and Jakarta; there are bound to be confusions, and challenges with language. Yet we constantly manage to overcome it. It is here that I truly saw that titles mean nothing.
All this requires some constant work and re-evaluation. Some lean XP principles. In this talk, I want to share how we do what we do.
This is something I hope to cover, in no particular order. The practices, ideas and importance of language will me the most meaty parts.
I hope people to walk out with options to solve some problems that they have around distributed teams and teams with language barriers.
In terms of tech, I hope people can identify some issues they are facing and take home some potential solutions for design.
I also hope to spark a discussion about various how-to, and myself learn from it.
Anyone who deals with delivery.

"Why are you doing this to me?" - said the weeping Product Owner while shackled around the chains of a virtual conference where the hysteria of a development team built a mountain of expectations that crumpled on the shoulders of an individual who merely wished for happiness. Isn't this real?
The intention of this talk is not to demean the profession of Product Ownership and I'm definitely not saying that killing them is a solution; in fact, the opposite. I wish to highlight the dysfunctions around this (cool) profession and make ourselves realise how development teams may hijack the Product Owner's responsibilities which may end up killing the credibility and the value chain driven by product ownership.
ScrumMaster who take their role seriously are beset with difficulties. As a process Owner and problem solver, the issues are many and systemic fixes needed. So what can/should they do? As with many other competencies, problem solving needs practice. Here we confront a fictitious case-study (based on two real projects) with help from India's first Scrum coach. As he takes you through the thicket of a complex situation (aren't all real situations complex, and not just "complicated"?) you will get a series of in-depth example SM situations. Further a moderated discussion on how to handle them. Some will be your own. This will be different from a Certified Advanced ScrumMaster class, this doesn't have much coaching content, but a strong problem solving slant.
NOTE: Case study here is of a "cummulative" type, which allows drawing wider lessons based on familiar common experience. The situation is meant to illustrate common (and one or two not so common) problems and their treatment.
Nilesh Kulkarni - How to get more out of your agile transformation journey.
Many organizations are introducing agile transformation programs or maturing their existing programs. However overall business outcome of the transformation journey is not substantially high. While there could be many reasons for this, one of the major reason is focus on transformation of one small unit in entire organization - called product development. This session will help the attendees to understand what is business agility and how to rethink your enterprise agile transformation strategy for greater business outcomes.
One of the most widely used Scrum anti-patterns is the infamous Sprint Zero. This iteration is used by many teams across the globe as a period for homework activities before kicking off a project. Activities may typically include backlog refinement with the product owner, setting up development environments, reading deployment pipelines, applying logging frameworks, etc.
It has been mentioned multiple times by the innovators of the Scrum Guide that it shouldn't take more than a day to begin a project, alas as the Scrum Guide mentions, Scrum is simple to understand, difficult to master; and the difficulty increases exponentially as we scale. So here's a workshop to master a one-day project kick-off using an extension of the white elephant exercise which I like to call - the Grand White Elephant for scaled teams.
Every organisation hopes / expects / demands high performance from their employees and teams. It's not very long ago when most effective organisations in the world had a ritual called yearly goal - setting. Many organisations still continue with this where the HR cascades a set of goals set by the organisation's leaders for their employees. This is usually followed by a quarterly to yearly review cycle which with most organisations are linked with incentives. In general terms, there ain't any flaw with this system; goal setting is an efficient way to continuously improve oneself. However, the execution of this process may be flawed and may lead to unoptimized results.
With the advent of business agility, this focus shifted towards continuously learning & improving organisations. This meant that faster feedback was highly recommended for performance improvement and the idea of year-long goal setting seemed a talk of the yesteryears. Many organisations embraced this change by completely abolishing the yearly goal setting practice and instead relying on mentor relationships for an individual's performance improvement. This did improve relationships at the same time hindered transparency since the organisation goals were no longer directly accessed by every employee.
When seen from the perspective of game theory, it's evident that optimum results are obtained when employees achieve goals which are highly beneficial to them at the same time aligned with the organisation's goals. With the former approach explained above, it's pretty clear that the employees in the first case were aware of the organisation's goals, even if the goals were not aligned with their personal goals. Whereas in the latter case, the lack of transparency meant that the individual's goals were highly focused and may not be in-line with the organisation's objectives.
This is where Performance Kaizen aligns these two systems with a flavour of Management 3.0 in order to create an optimum setup where high performing individuals, teams, and organisations can thrive. In this session, we present a case study of this implementation at Springer Nature along with our results and learnings; followed by a brief hands-on exercise for the attendees.
A variety of branching strategies exist in the delivery universe as of date. Having worked with multiple of these, in my personal experience, I have explored the pains and gains that each of these strategies have to offer. While there are certain situations or delivery patterns that might make a certain strategy a better fit, in my experience, Trunk Based development usually is the most sane way of writing, maintaining and delivering production code.
Trunk Based development is a source-control branching model where developers push code ( of all possible features that are in development ) on to a single remote branch, referred to as the trunk. Developers at all costs try and resist the urge to create other long-lived development branches. This is important because developers, including myself, are mostly lazy. So if there is something that can ease their lives off today, they would rather do that knowing that they are up for a hard day in the future. This is mostly the paradigm of not developing on the trunk. Branching by features makes it easy for development teams in the shorter run. However a developer is well aware that he is going to stay up late in office the moment his project manager says that the code he has written on the trunk has to be released. What follows is merge hells, integration nightmares, bugs, angry developers and divorces.
In my career, I have worked with a bunch of branching strategies up and until now. While it is indeed easier in the shorter run to create feature or team-specific branches, it is almost always a painful and tedious job to bring things back into the master in order to release. Also in my opinion, other branching strategies defeat the entire purpose of Continuous integration since not ALL the code that is being written is being tested in unison.
Autonomic computing is a self-managing computing model named after, and patterned on, the human body's autonomic nervous system. An autonomic computing system would control the functioning of computer applications and systems without input from the user, in the same way that the autonomic nervous system regulates body systems without conscious input from the individual. The goal of autonomic computing is to create systems that run themselves, capable of high-level functioning while keeping the system's complexity invisible to the user.
Large-scale systems, such as mega data centers, computer clouds, cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, are becoming increasingly complex and burdensome for people to manage.
The goal of autonomic computing is to create self-regulating, self-healing computer systems. If you’ve ever had to troubleshoot your own computer problems, you can imagine what time and energy could be saved if the computer could troubleshoot itself.

The org culture mantra is usually considered a silicon valley mumbo jumbo. Although many companies and teams rant about culture, very few in my opinion take it seriously. In this talk I would like to discuss the importance of Org culture and how it makes or breaks businesses and teams. I will lay out some key pointers that will help the influencers in the audience make decisions about their org or team culture. The talk will be in the context of culture in tech companies.
Agile isn't just for software, it's for your thing, whatever that is. In my keynote talk, Agile for Everything, I introduced six fundamental patterns that comprise Agility. They apply not just to software, but to virtually any situation where rapid adaptation can improve success.
In this workshop, I'll teach and coach you to apply those six principles to your thing. "Your thing" might be marketing, UX design, software, finance, hardware, business development, product management, your company, your family, your career, a classroom, your education, your kids' education, an art project, or building a house. Or it might be something else.
You gain two ways attending this workshop: First, you will get coaching help in achieving "your thing," whatever that is. Second, you will gain an intuitive, visceral understanding of agility—its strengths and limitations, its nuances and quirks. That understanding will help you rapidly assess agile opportunities and dangers, and will help you teach and coach in more fruitful ways.
Agile is not limited to our office or project work. This talk is on a small experiment we performed while we were helping my sister Dr. Dipti to plan, set up her Clinic. Starting with working on the rented space interiors to the Inauguration ceremony and pre and post marketing.
With not much planning, Dipti jumped into execution looking at the numbers of days in a hand, which was 3 weeks then. Beginning with execution, 'A Classic mistake' and a sure 'Recipe to Failure' as we would term in the IT world. At the end of week 1, things were all over places and needless to say she was in a soup as she had invested good enough already and was working on a tight budget.
Week 2 -Day 1, I was back in town from a Business trip, she tensed not able to sleep and me jet lagged, we started chatting, I could sense the feeling of misery in her voice and thought to myself why not try something new; after all, given the situation she was in there was nothing to lose. Thus it all began, an experiment of bring Agile concepts to set up 'Manas Ayurved' - Counseling and psychotherapy Clinic.
Post all the tasks were identified, we assumed that we have only half the time of the original duration, i.e. we had 2 weeks for inauguration but we assumed it to be just one week. Now considering we just have one week in hand we only picked the bare minimum required to make a decent inauguration successful.
Post identifying the bare minimum required, we created a countdown timeline from day 14 to day 1, with day 0 being the inauguration day, this time considering the original 2 weeks in hand.
Later the tasks were assigned to individuals and all of us met everyday post dinner to discuss the progress and impediments and strike of the completed tasks. A physical wall not only helped all of us to get an idea of what was remaining but it also gave us confidence and motivation to look at the remaining work and try and stick to the schedule.
The inauguration is next week and this experiment is still work in progress, but it was a fun way to implement something in a planned way along with tracking it daily. The idea was such a hit among my family members that we now have a Kanban board in our Dining room which has a ‘To Do’, ‘In Progress’ and ‘Completed’ column with all our upcoming tasks like - charging inverter battery, Pest Control, Monthly grocery shopping, etc mentioned on this it. We have brought agile to our day to day lives… Would you like to try it too?
This talk is exploratory in nature. It's not mere theoretical in nature.It's my personal experience working as a Test Lead. In our world teams work under ambitious deadlines, in turbulent business environment , discovering what needs to be done and how to do it. All working styles and approaches differ significantly based on the circumstances.
This session will help the attendees to understand the essense of Testing 'Role' and many 'Relations' affecting either this 'Role' or other.

Agile Transformation Journeys are difficult, long and uncertain. They need patience, perseverance, conviction, commitment and an unwavering focus on outcomes. It is therefore not surprising that as of now there are few known instances of successful Agile Transformation. For organization which are intending to commence a Transformation and also those who are doing it, the lessons learned from successful and not so successful transformations should prove highly valuable.
The speaker will showcase 2 contrasting case studies, one a failure and the other a success in agile transformation, to bring out the key variables that determine success or failure in Agile Transformation. The speaker will offer practical recommendations on enablers for successful Agile Transformation.
My session explores different aspects which today's Executives needs to embrace in order to survive Digital Transformations.
Lean and Agile Principles helps them to look at their Blind Spots!

So it is decided. On the 20th we've planned the get-go.
2.000.000 meters on bikes, give or take. That almost doesn't even sound as much as 2.000 kilometers. Neither of us has done anything like this before, nor do we have any idea if this is doable or not. Well, we know for a fact that this kind of thing is being done basically all the time, by others. But those others tend to know what they're doing, they tend to start off smaller, prepare for a long period of time and be sensible. That, however, is not how we roll.
My name is Henrik Niku and I'm a Project Manager in Game Development. I'm 23 years old and I currently live by myself in Stockholm. You most likely know me already, else you probably wouldn't be here. Now that we've covered that, lets move on.
Minimum of one blog post per day. Actually, preferably one post per day. Therefore the name "Dailies". In case of technical difficulties, I will make the post the following day.
The blog has a map showing the live progress and location of me, which hopefully will be the exact location of the both of us. If you need a reason: Because I think it's cool!
I will post as many interesting pictures as I can manage, be it a flat tire, a tent at a lake at sunset or what I look like after a day of biking in the rain.
I am, and will be, fully open with everything concerning me. However, I will do my best not to say more about others than I know and/or feel is okay by them.
Lastly, I will list all the expenses of the trip, mostly for my own use, but I guess it might be interesting to someone else as well.
So, yesterday was the first day I was actually on a mission specifically for preparing. It ended with me buying an external battery pack for charging my Google Nexus S, who will be a big part of this Venture. The plan is to use her as GPS, E-mails, Blogging, Photos, Maps, looking up tickets for ferries and so forth. It is also the thing continuously transmitting our location, live, to the blog.
The coming two weeks will consist heavily of preparations, in all shapes and forms.
the store shuts the lights off due to closing.
However, a nice rain-/windproof set.
Last but not least. I am not expecting or counting on getting feedback, but if you feel like you have something to say, by all means leave a comment on the blog or contact my directly @ Henriknik (at) hotmail dot com. | 2019-04-23T12:53:32 | http://the-venture.blogspot.com/2011_05_06_archive.html |

I just finished making a birthday present for one of my favorite little people who turned One last month. I thought of the idea of making ” Alphabet Soup”, after this little girl’s mom told me about how her daughter likes to play with items in the kitchen and play with the laundry. It took me a little longer than I thought to make this gift, but I hope she likes it.
To make the letters, I free handed bubble letters right onto the felt and cut them out. I made two for each letter and sewed them together. I stuffed them with ” pillow stuffing”.
All the letters go into the Soup pot. The games that a child can play with these letters are endless! When I give this gift I will include a wooden spoon!
so cute! I am featuring this on my site today! thanks for sharing!
Wow, these are great and make wonderful gifts for kids and are great in any classroom. This is going on my Teaching Pinterestboard.
This really would make a great gift! Just posted on Craft Gossip!!
I so have to make this for my daughter. She would have a blast with this one.
This project sounds like quite the undertaking since all the letter are hand sewen but I love the finished product and especially how you even have a soup pot for them!
What a cute idea! I have a 3 month old and soon she'll be playing with things like this… maybe I'll make it for her for Christmas!
This is a great way to teach the alphahbet.
Oh this is adorable! And such a fabulous idea 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing! | 2019-04-25T08:40:40 | https://makethebestofeverything.com/2012/03/felt-alphabet-soup/ |
Home › Customer Reviews › ...I recommend WD to everyone I know on both coasts. They are a pleasure to do business with.
I have been purchasing jewelry from Washington Diamond for over 35 years. My son recently purchased engagement rings and matching earrings so we are in to our second generation. WD is always fair on price and provides exceptional service. I live on the west coast and WD is in Virginia. Most recently my wife commented on a multi-strand gold necklace worn on TV. I took a screenshot and sent it to Tom Daube. We worked back and forth together over about 30 days to get the length, separation and overall look correct. Tom had the necklace fabricated in time for Xmas and it came out fabulous. I recommend WD to everyone I know on both coasts.

In February 2016, the Granite State’s House rejected legal weed in New Hampshire. Two of three House Bills that proposed legalized marijuana got shot down by the House.
House Bill 1675 would have allowed personal possession of just over two pounds of marijuana for adults 18 and older. The bill would have allowed six plants for personal use as well as retail marijuana sales. House Bill 1694, which was also shot down, would have legalized the personal possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for folks 21 years and older. The bill also would have authorized growing and using industrial hemp.
Both of the bills would have brought substantial tax revenue to New Hampshire, but the House rejected the notion just the same.
Despite the state’s motto, Live Free of Die, New Hampshire is the only New England state that has yet to decriminalize weed. This seems odd given that a study done in 2015 revealed that 60% of the state’s voters support legal marijuana.
All hope is not lost, however. Two bills, House Bill 1610 and House Bill 1631 still seek to legalize or, at the very least, decriminalize pot respectively.
Each year, New Hampshire spends millions of tax dollars arresting, prosecuting, and sentencing people who possess and use pot. Right now, it appears that the trend will continue but, so long as Granite Staters, continue to demand these bills make it to the house, then there is a good chance the tide will turn. | 2019-04-21T08:51:55 | http://greenito.com/news/live-free-not-high-new-hampshire-shoots-down-cannabis-initiative/ |

Low fertility among educated women threatens to lower the supply of high-skilled workers.
While the world's population is still growing, there is already a serious shortage of babies in most developed countries. In Singapore, for example, the total fertility rate per woman stands at 1.4 children, far below the 2.1 children needed to replace its 4 million people.
Even more worrisome, the few babies that do get born are disproportionately born to less educated and poorer mothers. In the U.S., for example, among women college graduates born 1960 - 1964, the average number of children born by age 40 is only 1.6. On the other hand, among women high-school dropouts, the equivalent number is 2.6.
There may be other non-economic reasons involved for this disparate birth pattern. But there is no denying that the opportunity cost of having children is much higher for highly educated women than poorly educated women. The upward momentum of wages is thwarted no matter when a high-skilled educated woman has a child (See The Family Gap). For low-skilled women, their wages stay low anyway. There are little benefits in delaying motherhood or reducing the number of babies.
Given that the chance of getting a good education is low for babies born to poorly educated women; this birth pattern bodes ill for the competitiveness of young workers in the developed countries. In an age where even knowledge-based jobs can be easily offshored to countries with cheap labor, developed countries can ill afford to have workers who are less educated than the developing countries to which skilled jobs have been outsourced.
There are of course low-skilled jobs that are location-bound and cannot be easily outsourced to labor-abundant countries. But the oversupply of low-skilled workers for these low-skilled jobs makes it difficult to elevate their wages.

Well, what an absolutely fantastic day Kitty and I have had! Firstly we were collected at the train station by a taxi to take us to the studio. We then learned that Elliot Kennedy may be a little late due to traffic so were gossiping away, having met Charlotte from Salisbury when Gareth Malone walked in! We were not expecting him at all and it took all our efforts (especially Kitty’s!) to remain composed and behave like we were in complete control. Obviously jumping up and down like maniacs when he left the room (sorry Charlotte for our behaviour!) Once Faye from Warminster, and Emma and Nicky from Chivenor arrived, after some more nattering, we went into the studio to warm up with Gareth until Elliot arrived. We then learned that we were not only to re-record parts of Sing for the new album but also to add to Stronger Together. And there began 4 hours of as much singing as we could fit in, with some very high notes! But we rose to the occasion and I have to say I loved singing with these ladies. What better way to spend a day??? Lovely ladies from the other choirs, beautiful voices and can’t wait to meet up with them all next week at the Classical Brit Awards along with Gareth Malone, Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber!!!!!!!
Well being part of the WMWC continues to be a whirlwind! On Saturday 8th September we had our first concert at St Peter and St Mary’s church in Stowmarket in aid of the Royal British Legion.
We were told before we arrived that over 200 people had brought tickets to see us so we were all very excited, dressed in our new dresses, shoes and jewellery we all felt very fab indeed! (although I was rather nervous, this will become clear why later on!!) When we all got to the church there were people queuing out into the road and around the corner to get in (We did at this point ask if there were lots of other people performing too, as we couldnt believe that many people would come to see us!) All in all there were just over 300 people crammed into the church to see us that night, so we all thought we better put on a good show!
The song we opened with was Journeys ‘Don’t stop believing’ its a great one to start with as we can all never stop ourselves from dancing and smiling like loons when we sing it! After the first song was out of the way we all relaxed a bit into our next song ‘Hallelujah’ which I must say sounded magical in the accoustics of the church. Next was a new song to us that we have recently been learning which is Take Thats’ ‘Rule the World’ which is a great one to belt out! We then went into the song that started the whole Military Wives Choirs off, Paul Mealors ‘Wherever you are’ I must say alot of us get really emotional singing this song and on saturday was no exception, the lyrics to the song are so beautiful, we hope we did it justice! From there we went into our Queen Medley which I love and all of us dancing around and clapping was a great way to end for the interval.
During our break a local Soprano called Marie-Therese Cunningham performed a few of her faviourite songs, she was fab and had us all in fits of laughter with some of her songs!
We went back on after the interval and sang another of our new songs 9-5 by Dolly Parton, its a really quick song and gets us all back dancing about! Next was yet another new song (You get the idea, we are forever learning new songs!!) Perfect Day by Lou Reed, I must admit when we first started learning this one I never thought it would sound as good as it does, it really is beautiful. After that was the turn of an Abba classic, Mamma Mia, this was the first song we ever started learning, feels like we’ve been performing it forever!! At this point I started to feel very nervous as I had solo pieces in the next two songs, the first ‘I will Follow Him’ from sister act is such a great upbeat song and always feels like its over in a second, when we were waiting to do our final song ‘Sing’ I was really nervous and started to feel sick, being a tall soprano I always end up on an end, and at this concert I was behind alot of people. When I came to the microphone at the front it suddenly hit me how many people were in front of me! When I looked around me I realised I was surrounded by friends, and our fab choir master has given me so much confidence since we started, thank you MD, I was very pleased and proud of us all in the end.
Lastly we sang Land of Hope and Glory and the National Anthem and it was amazing to see so many people singing along and waving their flags, we left the stage to a Standing ovation, it was an incredible feeling and to know we were singing for such a great cause made it all the more special.
You can see us perform again this saturday (22nd Sept) in Thetford, were really excited for it!
I still can’t believe we all recorded the new album a few weeks ago, I am so excited to hear the final copy when it comes out! Since singing at the Council Dinner and opening Abbey Fest we had a bit of a party night at choir was so good just to sing our faviorite songs at the top of our lungs and have a good giggle! There wasn’t a dry eye in the house though when we said goodbye to one of our wonderful ladies Sarah who is leaving us as she’s moving to Portsmouth, she’s been such a part of our little choir family and we are all very sad to see her leave. She will be joining the MWC in Portsmouth, all I can say is our loss is very much their gain.
Since then we had two weeks off for summer leave which has been lovely but I am now itching to get back to choir tomorrow to see everyone and have a good sing song! I belive we will be looking at a new song tomorrow, so keep an ear out you could be hearing it at one of our performances soon!!
If you fancy joining our choir and have a connection to Wattisham Airfield get in touch with us at: [email protected] we are always delighted to see new members, so come along and join in the fun!
HELLO WORLD! Wattisham Military Wives Choir calling! Here we are on our brand new website! Everything is so very exciting at the moment. This week has been a very busy one. We’ve been rehearsing like CRAZY and I think it is fair to say we are all a bit pooped. Let me tell you all about it…..
On Thursday we recorded our songs for the second Military Wives Choir Album, due out in November. What an amazing day we had! I’m pretty sure it’s an experience we will all never forget. I can’t wait to hear the finished album. When doing the recording we sometimes heard a playback of what we had just sang and it sounded pretty fantastic. I couldn’t believe how good we did sound! We also sang with members of one of our sister choirs Marham Miltary Wives Choir and what a pleasure it was too. Such a fun bunch of girls headed up by Sharmane their Musical Director. It was great to meet the Marham girls, other wives living similar lives to our own. One of their girls is also a serving member of the forces. Through this album and other projects we have met so many different wives, partners and serving personnel. Something we would never have done otherwise, another big positive to being in the choir. I’m pretty sure none of the Military Wives Choirs can wait for the album launch in November…exciting times ahead!
Our next diary entry was on Friday night at a dinner for the Babergh Council at Wherstead Park. An absolutely beautiful setting and a wonderful audience too. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The cherry on top of the pretty amazing cake has been our final performance this week. On Sunday evening we opened Bury St. Edmunds’s festival, Abbeyfest, to an audience of around 650 people. Kerry Ellis, our patron, introduced us onto the stage. It was the first time we had met Kerry and what an honour it was, such a lovely lady. We sang our hearts out in the sunshine and enjoyed every minute of it. Tick…..another thing to add to our growing list of fantastic experiences.
What can I say….it’s been an amazing 6 months since the choir was formed. Everything seems to have snowballed. From our first performance in the Officer’s Mess at Wattisham to some of our girls recording “Sing” at Abbey Road Studios to other girls performing live in front of millions for the Queen on stage at Buckingham Palace. Some of whom met Gary Barlow, Gareth Malone, chatted with Kylie, were kissed by Robbie Williams and some even had fun with Tom Hanks in a portaloo, (read on our website about that…”We performed for the Queen” blog). And now we have recorded the second album for the Military Wives Choirs. We have had some serious fun. How on earth can we top all of that? I don’t know….but we are going to give it a damn good try!
On Sunday 22nd July, we’ll be opening Abbey Fest in Bury.
So here we are, standing on the most famous stage in the world – looking down an empty mall, trying to imagine what it will all be like tomorrow. The nerves are starting to kick in a little, bit like waiting for a hot date! Wonder how Liz is feeling? (she’s one of the soloists and I am proud to say she is from Wattisham).
It’s strangely quiet and surreal – we pinch each other – ouch – yes, we really are here. But hang on a minute..the dream continues, in walks Gary Barlow..ohhhh back to that hot date feeling..lol. Now, not mentioning any names, but to say it wasn’t just the rain pouring down, might give you an indication to how excited and emotional at least one of our girls was!! I am sure they are just the start of the tears that will be shed over the next few days.
Back in the hotel after a delicious meal, we gather in the reception to meet the other 90 or so singers, ready to watch the Gary Barlow documentary (did I mention we saw Gary Barlow ;0)) The programme was fantastic and as suspected, more tears, more hugging strangers and screams of joy when we saw fellow singers on the big screen. The atmosphere was electric. Strangers were becoming friends, tears were becoming the norm and this was just the night before…Us Military Wives had definitely arrived!
We performed for the Queen!
Singing at the Jubilee Concert with the girls from Wattisham Military Wives Choir was such an amazing opportunity and one that I shall remember forever. Singing the Jubilee song ‘Sing’, as part of the Commonwealth Band was a once in a lifetime moment and being a member of Wattisham Military Wives Choir has given the wives the chance to do something meaningful whilst our husbands are away. Being part of a choir has really fuelled my love of singing and hearing the fantastic sound we have all achieved, after only four months, is remarkable and I am very much looking forward to our upcoming choir performances.
When I joined Wattisham Military Wives Choir back in January I did not imagine for one minute that I would be performing for the Queen at the Diamond Jubilee concert! Performing with all the other choirs was amazing and we all felt like one big family. I am so proud to be a military wife and be recognised by the public for the job we do. I would not have it any other way.
It was such an honour to be part of such a huge celebration and something that will never again be repeated (certainly not in our lifetime I imagine!). To see that sea of faces and flags stretching out as far as the eye could see was a phenomenal experience, and although I was just a tiny part of it, the memories I have will always be so special.
After we had sung ‘Sing’ some of us were coming back from the stage, some were in the dressing room, and a few of us were standing outside our dressing room, wondering what the plan was! I was chatting to one of the other ladies when an unmistakeable Amercan voice drawled ‘Military Wiiiiives’! We looked around and Tom Hanks had stopped and looked like he was waiting to be mobbed!! However, as we were all over the place, it was just Cate, me and another lady from Portsmouth around – I couldn’t believe my luck – an actual Hollywood God was standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!
I told him my phone had died (damn it!) and he told me it must be a pretty rubbish phone, which I obviously agreed with (iPhones, eh?!). Then the other lady from Portsmouth asked if he would record a message for the son of another choir member who needs a bone marrow transplant – on her phone with a battery that hadn’t died – grrrrr. I offered to film them both, to which Tom replied ‘great idea’ – I wilted!! SOOOO, it was quite dark, and all I could see was Tom’s silhouette, so I told him it was no good, he’d have to move. ‘ahhhh, you need more light, huh?, let’s go over here, how’s this?’ came his reply. So, eventually I found myself climbing up the steps to the men’s Portaloo’s (‘I can’t go in there’ said I, ‘sure you can’ came his reply’). I got into position, no more than a foot from his face, and when he was ready said ‘aaaaand go’ (should have said ‘action’!!!!). He recorded his message, then when he finished said it had been his pleasure. I couldn’t believe I had been directed by, and then I had directed, an Oscar winning actor/director – utterly bonkers!
As he wandered away, all I could think about (apart from what a nice man he was) was DAMN MY PHONE!!!!!
For me the experience started when I was standing in the church in Wattisham waiting to audition for the chance to do what I have dreamed of for years and that’s when the nerves set in. When I found out I was lucky enough to be chosen I had a new set of emotions to deal with, shock, pride, nerves and lots of excitement!!!
The morning of recording we had breakfast and a media awareness meeting then we made our way to Abbey Road!!! As I walked into the car park it dawned on me that we were about to record in a studio that so many legends of music had recorded and now we were there doing it too. Speaking of legends, what better experience than to have Gary Barlow singing in your ear (all you heard was 70 women swoon!). He was lovely, seemed so down to earth and even sat on the front row and sang with us while Gareth conducted, simply brilliant! I just could not take my eyes off the piano and microphones (I was dying to run down to the front and belt out a Beatles song!).
It was so interesting to see how they were getting us all to sing and you could see them chatting in the gallery as we sang and they were nodding as if to say ‘that’s what we want’ and to see that makes you smile with pride. When we finished recording some of us got the chance to have a photo with Gary and he was kind enough to sign our music (I did feel sorry for him as he was slightly mobbed!). As we left we felt happy, excited, tired and proud but also sad that our adventure had ended. I could not wait to see the choir girls and Michael who had been so supportive all the way through and tell them all about it. When we got to choir the Tuesday after the recording the girls had arranged champagne to toast us and they were all so excited to see the pictures and hear our stories.
All in all from start to finish it was a dream come true and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I am looking forward to sharing all of this with my husband who went on exercise the day I was at Abbey Road, it seems so long ago now but I am armed with stories for him to listen to and photos for him to look at for a change!!
I had the most wonderful time at Abbey Road. I was in awe of the whole experience and I still cannot believe I was put forward for it! It was an absolute honour to be a part of such a fantastic song, the journey it took to make it and ultimately who it was recorded for. I will never ever forget it. I learned so much from working with Gareth Malone and being in the studio listening to Gary Barlow on the headset. I didn’t want the day to end! I am so proud that not only I, but our choir as a whole have been involved in this. I love being part of the Wattisham MWC, the fun we have and the support we give each other.
Being a part of the recording at Abbey Road and the Diamond Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace was a mind blowing experience. I feel blessed to have been asked to sing on “Sing”. It’s been a great journey that I would go through again in a heartbeat. Everyone’s local & national support has been fantastic and very touching. A super time had by all.
From the moment I was told that I had been chosen to go to Abbey Road Studios and record the Queens Jubilee Single everything in my life at that moment seemed so surreal. I left the church that night full of emotion, picked up my daughter from creche and went home wanting to shout the news from the rooftops!! Unfortunately it was a huge secret and no one could know apart from immediate family! When I got home I fired up the laptop and sent off an ebluey straight away to my husband telling him the news. He was in Afghanistan at the time and took two days to get the news!
The day finally arrived and I set off on the train to London. We checked into the hotel and with a few hours to spare before we went and did our first practice with Gareth Malone, we went and found a pub to find some dutch courage! That evening we rehearsed the song with all of the ladies who were to sing on the single and of course Gareth Malone. It was a great experience and I learned so much about technique and gained so much confidence from singing with him. That night we all went to bed feeling like kids on Christmas Eve. Tomorrow we were going to sing in Abbey Road and were going to meet Gary Barlow!!
The next morning we were all up bright and early and our hotel room looked like a dressing room in a theatre! There were clothes, make up and hair equipment everywhere, as they were recording the video for the song that day we all wanted to look our best! When we arrived at Abbey Road we had to do a bit of filming for Gary Barlow’s documentary of the song which involved us all linking arms and crossing the famous ‘Beatles’ crossing behind Gary. This was awesome! We caused quite a crowd and we all took turns in coming up with the most elaborate excuse to tell the public why we were there!
When we went into the studios I was trying my best to remain cool and calm but my insides were screaming ‘You’re in Abbey Road, with Gary Barlow and Gareth Malone….. Singing… AGHHH!!!’ Firstly we recorded Land of Hope and Glory which went onto the album with us singing with Alfie Boe. When we heard it back through the headphones I felt so emotional, its such a patriotic song and at that moment I missed my husband so much. Later we started recording ‘Sing’. It was so much fun to sing with all the other military wives, to learn about the recording process and to hear how good we sounded. I loved every second!
I am so grateful for the whole Military Wives Choir movement, it has given military spouses a voice and has personally given me so much more confidence. Abbey Road was a day I will never forget, its up there with getting married and giving birth as one of the most amazing things I have done! I can’t wait for the next challenge!!

Originally formulated by Tom Norton himself, this rich, lightfast, warm sepia-colored ink is handmade in the US from premium imported materials. It holds well in a brush or dip pen; lines made directly from the bottle produced dense, almost shiny marks. When thinned with water as a light wash and layered, successive overlaps produces darker shades. | 2019-04-26T12:49:03 | https://www.paperinkarts.com/walbot.html |
For a look that’s sleek, bright and bursting with style, this blind really is the one.
Pure white can be a little stark, so the creamy hint here is welcome and adds a little warmth. Tilt the slats using a sleek wand to control the light however you please.
An integral frame slots easily onto uPVC windows and doors without the need for drills or screws, for effortless fitting and a seamless look.

When Was the Last Time You Saw the Milky Way?
Growing up in the city, I’ve never really had the opportunity to look up into the night sky and admire our stunning Milky Way in all its glory.
Sure, there were times where I made a trip to the Sydney Observatory and looked upon some amazing planets and stars through the ancient telescope. And I probably did get a glimpse of it at one time when I was a little kid, back in the days of camping and what not – but as a kid you don’t truly appreciated such wonders.
So, when my partner and I heard there was a small observatory in the middle of a small desert town of Queensland, where you could look up in awe at the night sky littered with millions of stars. We had to go.
If you have never heard of Chillago, it’s a small desert town around 3 hours west of Cairns in Far Northern Queensland. It’s a dusty little town, with a population of around 192 people.
Back in the day, Chillago was a thriving mining town, which boasted a wide range of minerals from zinc to iron. And it’s been said by leading Geologists, that Chillago has one of the most diverse geology in the world.
Although there isn’t a huge amount of activities available in Chillago, they do host a most spectacular event every night at their mini star gazing observatory. And I’m not exaggerating when I say mini! The observatory was so tiny, most of us had to wait outside until it was out turn to climb the small staircase of 6 or so steps to peer through the telescope lens.
But, boy was it a treat and so worth the wait outside in the balmy desert heat.
Even without the use of the telescope, the night sky delivered on what was the most spectacular sight; the Milky Way. It’s exactly how everyone describes it. A perfect line of millions and millions of shiny dots streaked across a velvety black sky. I’ve never seen so many stars, glittering in all their splendour.
It’s definitely an experience I will never forget and one I would recommend to anyone.
The observatory is part of the Chillago Observatory and Eco Lodge. When you book your accommodation, spend the extra $25 pp for the late night observatory experience. and if you’re looking for other activities to do there, just out of town is the Chillago-Mungana Caves National Park, which contains anywhere between 600 and 1,000 stunning limestone caves to explore.
Most of the caves are open to the public to tour on your own. However, you do need to report yourself to the rangers station for some specific caves that go very deep into the ground. This is to ensure the Rangers can keep track of which cave you went into, in case you go missing. It makes it easier for the search party to come find you, if you never return.
Hope a train isn’t due! | 2019-04-26T02:40:25 | https://travelbugofficial.com/when-was-the-last-time-you-saw-the-milky-way/ |
The C-O bond of phenol can be activated by reaction with arylsulfonyl chlorides to yield the corresponding arylsulfonates that can be used as electrophilic partners in subsequent reactions. Arylsulfonates can be conveniently synthesized from inexpensive phenol derivatives and sulfonyl chlorides. Moreover, their crystalline nature makes arylsulfonates easier than other electrophiles to purify and store over a long period of time. Although arylsulfonates are inferior to triflates in terms of electrophilicity, triflates are better leaving groups compared to sulfonates; arylsulfonates however have greater economical advantages over triflates. Facile synthesis of different arylsulfonates from various arylsulfonyl chlorides and phenol are reported. What is unique about the synthesis is that very good to excellent yields of arylsulfonates were obtained without the use of column chromatography. A more efficient purification technique was developed based on recrystallization. Using 2,4-dinitrophenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate and various amines, initial experiments have shown greater regioselectivity for the SNAr products. | 2019-04-26T11:51:40 | http://researchtrends.net/tia/abstract.asp?in=0&vn=18&tid=14&aid=5879&pub=2017&type= |

An exhibition showcasing 100 years of fashion photography from the Condé Nast magazine stable -- ranging from 1920s shots of Broadway actresses to some of the most recognizable photos of the supermodel era -- has opened in Beijing.
"Coming into Fashion: A Century of Photography at Condé Nast," which brings together images from fashion titles including Vogue, Vanity Fair and Glamour, provides a visual history of how the fashion and beauty industries have evolved.
The exhibition features images from more than 80 photographers, from contemporary names like Mario Testino and Inez & Vinoodh to early luminaries like Edward Steichen and Man Ray.
The exhibition begins with what are considered to be some of the world's first fashion photographs, taken by Steichen in 1911, and goes on to explore a series of fashion shoots from 1920s New York.
"Fashion photography didn't really exist at that time, so they photographed dancers and actresses from Broadway rather than professional models," says curator Nathalie Hershdorfer. "They knew how to pose and how to be on a stage."
According to Hershdorfer, it could be argued that this sparked fashion's current symbiotic relationship with celebrity culture.
"(Condé Nast founder Condé Montrose Nast) realized that if they hired actresses that were well-known, it was even better (for sales)," she says. "People would recognize them. That's what's still going on today."
Many of the photos are highly produced studio efforts. But a 1962 black-and-white photo by David Bailey of a model in the street, looking away from the camera, captures the moment photographers started to experiment with a more natural approach.
"They thought, 'We don't need fashion editors and makeup artists. We just go out in the street and do our shooting,'" explained Hershdorfer.
The inclusion of a music video featuring Chinese models is a notable nod to the show's local audience, but there are very few photos of Chinese models on show.
However, China's emergence as one of the world's most important fashion markets has guaranteed its importance in the future.
Indeed, as Condé Nast's Chinese mastheads continue to grow, the archive this exhibition was drawn from -- which boasts about eight million photographs -- is gradually filling with more images from the region.
"We are absolutely going to see more Asian and Chinese models in the future," says James Woolhouse, president of Condé Nast Asia Pacific.
"I'm enormously confident that many of the fashion and beauty images being produced today by the team in China will stand the test of time." | 2019-04-21T12:08:55 | http://www.cnn.com/style/article/conde-nast-fashion-photography/index.html |
Relocating your office can be both an exciting time for your company as well as a stressful time. If you are relocating because of an expansion, you are probably looking forward to having more room for you and your employees. However, moving the equipment and furniture is a task you don’t want to undertake, as office equipment can be very expensive and you might not be covered by insurance if you or your employees move it to the new location.
To ensure that insurance will cover the expense if anything is damaged during the transition, you should hire commercial movers in Roseville to handle the relocation of the company’s copiers, furniture and computers. Computerized equipment needs special handling when being moved, or damage could be done to the equipment’s hard drives and motherboards.
An office moving company in Roseville will know exactly how to shut down equipment and carefully move it so no internal damage occurs during the trip from the old office building to the new one. They are also experts in handling and padding office furniture so it isn’t scratched or dinged as it goes out the door.
Professional movers will have insurance to cover damages if something happens to a piece of furniture or equipment during the moving process. You will be compensated for any losses that occur. You won’t have to use any company money to replace the broken equipment or furniture; the insurance will pay for it.
Many commercial movers will assign a consultant to help businesses prepare for their relocation. On moving day, you can take care of your business while the consultant makes sure the transition from the old office to the new one goes smoothly. This will help take the stress of relocation off your shoulders.
You won’t have to shut your offices while you’re moving with the help of commercial movers. The movers will do their job while you keep your business running and making money. The Auburn Moving Company will work quickly and efficiently so there is very little, if any, downtime for your staff during the move to your new offices.
When it is time for your company to move to larger offices, hire commercial movers to take care of loading and moving your company’s equipment, furniture and files to your new location. They are experts at handling business moves with care and professionalism, so you won’t experience any loss of valuable equipment, information or other asset.
With the help of commercial movers, your new offices will be up and working in a few hours instead of days. | 2019-04-26T03:43:15 | https://infodirweb.com/get-the-expertise-you-need-with-commercial-movers-in-roseville-ca/ |
We occasionally get a call that begins 'Help! My screen is upside-down!', this is usually on a laptop, and it can be done inadvertently - it has even been done by cats on the keyboard according to one customer. However, there are simple shortcut key combinations that can put everything back to normal.
If the display has been rotated, it can normally be corrected by pushing the key combination <Ctrl> + <Alt>+ <Up Arrow>.
This capability to invert/rotate the display is a feature of some of the Intel® Extreme Graphics Chipset driver.
Image rotation is enabled by default and is activated by the default key combination <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <F1>.
To disable this Hot Key Feature, remove the check from the Enable Hot Keys selection box in the Extended Graphics properties. | 2019-04-21T12:15:42 | http://runpcrun.com/screen_is_upside-down |

Being motivated and staying motivated are two indispensable qualities we must acquire if we’re to be happy and succeed. This pertains to a double life for most: Your life at home and your life at work. Usually, if you’re happy at one, you’re happy at the other - but not necessarily.
Some people use the job to escape from the problems at home and vice versa. Neither should be used as an escape or a refuge.
A balance must be sought between motivation at home and in the work place. Actually, you can use these motivational tips to accomplish both.
If you don’t understand your job you can’t produce the results expected. Go to your immediate supervisor and ask for job clarity.
What you may have thought was difficult could merely be that you didn’t understand what was needed.
Determine your path for advancement.
You can’t hit a target if you can’t see it.
Sure, you can take the shotgun approach and fire at random but you have a much better chance at hitting the mark if you know where you’re going and how to get there.
Motivation is much easier if you understand what’s expected of you and the path to the next step.
Do more than is required.
Don’t be a showoff, but don’t do just enough to get by either. The boss will notice both and treat you appropriately.
Volunteer for extra work and get it done.
You may have to stay late sometime but this is your future we’re talking about. What’s a little extra overtime as compared with a lifetime of achievement?
Step out of your comfort zone. Oh, that’s hard when you first do it but go ahead.
You may find you love it out there. It’s an old saying that if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you always got. Do more and you’ll get more.
Read books, take classes, and sign up for educational seminars that will advance you in your field of work.
The time to learn is now. Don’t wait until the need arises for you to learn a new skill or to better the skills you have. If you learn them, you will use them.
Do it now. Do it now. Get it done and put it behind you. Don’t let any project or job overwhelm you.
Persistence leads to completion one small step at a time. Giant steps are not necessary.
Baby steps will do, but you must take the first step.
You can’t stay motivated if you don’t feel well. This too is an everyday mission. Get plenty of rest, eat right and exercise.
Just do those three things and good health will be a given. These motivation tips work well on the job but also in all aspects of living.
Be proud of yourself, prepare and be a leader wherever you are. | 2019-04-19T14:16:05 | https://www.discoveryhub.net/work-motivation-tips-to-help-you-succeed.html |
Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.
I’ve been having such fun working. This is a new client website that will grow page by page as we get the content in place. This represents a new (to me) direction in producing websites.
When I produce websites, I usually build them from scratch—design, code, images, text, etc. That works well for large sites and ones that can be maintained by a technical person. It also gives me control over how the site plays and looks in a web browser. However, there are many people who want small websites that they can maintain themselves without knowing lots of tech stuff. The QuantumHeart Life Coaching site is my first adventure into that kind of site design and production.
Many web site providers offer an interface where their customers can build their own site online. In this instance, the provider is Web.com and their interface is called SiteBuilder. They have over 100 templates that a person can use as is, or modify to a great extent. We started with a basic template and changed all of the images and colors. My client (life coach Cheryl Gardiner) and I have worked together on this so she could learn how to use the interface as we produced the site. When we have it all finished including a matching blog, she will have the skills to keep the site updated on her own.
Looks good Katherine! Thank you for posting your/our news on your blog. | 2019-04-20T02:31:25 | https://atimetoknit.design/2007/05/15/quantumheart-life-coaching/ |
This is one of my favorite places, even though the tree with the swing had to get cut down. There are still acres and acres of walnut trees and a few dogs of various ages to help explore.
That's one of my favorite places too! I have lots of memories from there--and a lot of them about the tire swing! Oh no!
I know that place! When were you guys there? How are Uncle W. and Aunt H doing at 90? We saw them last year, and they looked the same as they have for twenty years. Too bad about the old swing tree. Was the little ride-in metal car still around? That was my favorite. Thank you so much for the memory wave! | 2019-04-20T20:21:44 | http://www.superbeck.com/2008/06/gilmore-ranch.html |
