The defining moment of Zimbabwean constitutional reform came in 2008 after the disputed and violence riddled elections of 2008 when the three main political parties entered into a transitional Government of National Unity and were tasked with the establishment of a new constitution which was ultimately adopted in 2013 following a protracted and turbulent process which began in 2009. Some segments of the civil society however argued that the concerned political parties had ‘captured the constitutional project and narrowed it to a short-term struggle motivated by the pursuit of party political interests at the expense of the will of the people and nation’s broad long-term interests’, and thereby subverted and/or negated the aspirations of the people. It is against this background that the study therefore assesses the participation, role and significance of the rural populace in the drafting of the 2013 Zimbabwean Constitution. The study traces the history of constitutional reform efforts in Zimbabwe, beginning with the colonial Lancaster House Constitution of 1979, to the protracted exercise of 2009 to 2013 which gave birth to the current Constitution. It focuses on the 2009-13 constitution making process as a case study. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach by adopting both doctrinal and empirical research approaches. The study employed the doctrinal research approach to provide for a doctrinal analysis of the relevant global, regional and domestic legislation and case law. The empirical research approach, through interviews, was used to collect qualitative data from the general members of the rural populace and key institutions such as political parties and human rights organisations from three selected rural districts, namely Bulilima, Makonde and Mutasa. The study indicated that while a significant number of the rural populace participated in the constitution making process, the legal environment which subsisted during the constitution making process did not allow for the unfettered flow of information and ideas, as a direct result of repressive legislation such as AIPPA, Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act, Interception of Communications Act and POSA, among others similar laws, and as well as the deeply polarised political environment owing to the nature of the relationship between the ZANU PF-led government and the opposition political parties. The study further showed that the process was heavily dominated by the political parties to the Global Political Agreement and all the political parties wanted to ensure the adoption of a constitution that best reflected their preferences and partisan views rather than the will of the masses, making the 2013 Constitution an elitist negotiated document, contrary to the provisions of Article VI of the GPA which provided for the right of Zimbabweans to make a constitution for themselves and by themselves. | 2019-04-23T06:12:51Z | http://univendspace.univen.ac.za/handle/11602/959 |
Garden Hose pipe is a flexible tube used to convey water. There are a number of common attachments available for the end of the hose, such as sprayers and sprinklers (which are used to concentrate water at one point or spread it over a large area). Garden hose pipe is ideally suited to unlimited applications in a wide range of industries where low pressure work is required for conveyance of water, gardening and other everyday application. | 2019-04-25T10:49:47Z | http://rflbd.com/agricultural_garden_hose_pipe.php |
Joking aside, I think having large broms suit the frogs better in that they have larger "pools" to utilise.
Ideally get down to the nearest garden centre for advice and you may see some that could be suitable even though small in size that have broad leaves say and deep areas where water collects.
Smaller Neoregelias, such as Fireball and Super Fireball, would suit smaller vivariums.
Look at any of the neoregelia most stay small. Wild tiger, mini skirt, any of the fireball varieties, domino, alley cat, Tunisia are all nice ones I have tried that don’t get very big. | 2019-04-22T13:16:17Z | https://www.reptileforums.co.uk/forums/habitat/1266887-help-bromeliads.html |
A coalition promoting an initiative to expand Medicaid coverage in Montana — and a big increase in tobacco taxes to help pay for it — has filed a complaint charging its opponents with illegal campaign activities.
The complaint was filed Monday with the state Commissioner of Political Practices by Tara Veazey, initiative campaign manager for Healthy Montana, a coalition of health-care organizations and other groups that is pushing Initiative 185, which would raise the state tax on cigarettes by $2 a pack.
Those activities include the failure to report expenditures made in the campaign against I-185, and the use of automated telephone solicitations, commonly known as “robocalls,” which are illegal in Montana unless a live operator first obtains permission to deliver the recorded message.
The charges are aimed at Montanans Against Tax Hikes, a group based in Helena, Decision Point Consulting, based in Ohio, “and any other now unknown entity or committee” that has financially supported the illegal activities.
Commissioner of Political Practices Jeff Mangan said the complaint was filed Monday, but still has to be examined to determine whether it meets all the requirements to be accepted by his office. He said that decision should be made by Wednesday.
Veasey said in an interview Monday that the complaint won’t have any bearing on I-185, which will appear on the ballot in November if supporters manage to collect verified signatures from at least 25,468 registered voters statewide by June 22.
She said the complaint was filed to force dark-money groups to be publicly revealed, and to let Montanans know who is spending money to influence elections.
“We just want to make sure that’s being disclosed, as early and as often as possible,” she said.
Besides raising state taxes on cigarettes by $2 a pack, I-185 would increase taxes on smokeless tobacco by 33 percent and create new taxes on vaping and electronic-cigarette products.
It also would extend Montana’s expanded Medicaid program, which provides government-funded health care to more than 94,000 low-income Montanans, past 2019.
Denowh, the former director of the Montana Republican Party and president of the Montana Group, a political consulting firm based in Helena, did not return calls seeking comment, but he told Yellowstone Public Radio he was still reviewing the complaint and had no comment.
According to the complaint, “several individuals” reported receiving robocalls on or around May 1, offering them $100 to take part in a focus group. Veazey says in the complaint that when she called the number provided, her call was answered by a voicemail service for Decision Point Consulting.
“Clearly,” the complaint says, “the hiring of an out of state company to produce a robocall is an expenditure,” as is creating and conducting a focus group meeting. But Decision Point Consulting has not filed a C-2, a spending disclosure statement with the state.
“If MATH paid for this poll to be conducted, it should have been reported in the C-6 disclosure report that was due on May 21. … MATH filed a form C-6 on June 1, but this report failed to include any of the above-described expenditures,” the complaint said.
That C-6 report, in fact, lists only two things: donations totaling $325 and debts of $1,700.
“The failure of opponents to I-185 to file any of the required financial reports or disclose any information about their income sources or expenditures represents a clear disregard for Montana’s reporting requirements and warrants full and immediate investigation,” the complaint says. | 2019-04-23T03:59:49Z | https://missoulacurrent.com/government/2018/06/tobacco-tax-complaint/ |
The 2018 Berlin anti-semitic attack was an attack on a street in the German capital of Berlin. Two young men wearing Jewish skullcaps were insulted by Arabic-speaking passers-by. One of the two, an Israeli citizen, was beaten with a belt by a Palestinian attacker. Video footage led to public outrage.
There have been other similar incidents involving Muslim assailants in particular. A spokesman for the Jewish community said the attack showed that "Jewish people are not safe here".
The number of overall anti-Semitic offenses in Berlin has been rising in recent years. In 2017, police had registered 288 anti-Semitic acts; in 2016, 197 anti-Semitic cases had been recorded. The Research and Information Center Antisemitism Berlin (RIAS) counts a total of 947 anti-Semitic incidents for 2017, but there may be unrecorded cases.
On 17 April 2018, Adam Armoush, a 21-year-old Israeli Arab living in Berlin and his German friend of Moroccan origin went through a street in Prenzlauer Berg taking selfies while wearing kippahs. According to Armoush, he was trying to win an argument with Jewish friends of his in Israel by proving that he could walk through Berlin wearing a Jewish skullcap. At one point, an argument with three Arab-speaking young men started, which was followed by a violent attack. Armoush managed to document the violence with his cell phone and later allowed the video to be shared on Facebook, from where the video went viral. The video shows the main attacker, later identified as a 19-year-old Palestinian from a refugee camp in Syria who had come to Germany as a war refugee, beat Armoush repeatedly with his belt. During the onslaught, the attacker shouted the word "Yahudi", the Arabic word for Jew, before one his companions intervened and dragged him away. According to Armoush, the main attacker had also tried to hurt him with a glass bottle. As a consequence of the beating, Armoush suffered minor injuries. Before turning himself in to police, the main attacker contacted a representative of the Palestinian student community of Berlin and appeared in a short video that was distributed on social media. They denied he was hostile towards Jews or that his actions had been motivated by anti-Semitism.
The main attacker turned himself in accompanied by his lawyer the day after the incident. An arrest warrant against him was executed.
Several politicians, among them chancellor Angela Merkel and foreign minister Heiko Maas condemned the attack. On the Israeli television, Merkel warned of persistent hatred of Jews in Germany. She spoke of a "different form of anti-Semitism" coming from people of Arab descent. After this and other incidents, the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, warned Jewish men "not to show themselves openly with a kippah in the metropolitan milieu in Germany".
Under the slogan "Berlin Wears Kippah" the Jewish community in Berlin called all citizens to wear the kippah on 25 April in solidarity with the victims.

There was plenty of grumbling about the Advance Report on Durable Goods for January 2010 that was released today. The headline number showed new orders up 3% but ex-transportation, new orders were actually down 0.6%.
If you're overweight tech, like I am, though, you would be smiling happily.
I'll run through a few charts and you'll see why. Let's start by looking at shipments for the tech sector as a whole and than for the sub-sectors of computers, semiconductors and communications equipment.
With the great improvement in shipments, it's disappointing to see Tech lagging other sectors like Materials and Consumer Discretionary. Some would argue, however, that shipments are in the past, and stocks move based on future performance.
If that's truly the case, Tech might still be the place to be. Take a look at these charts showing new orders.
You can see that new orders are quite strong, again reaching levels last seen in 2008. Though communication equipment is lagging the other sub-sectors, it too shows increasing orders.
I have written several posts (here, here and here) on how the tech earnings scorecard this earnings season has been pretty darn strong. I have contended that tech stocks should be getting more investor interest. Today's Durable Goods report may, I think, begin to convert the unbelievers. I noticed that the NASAQ finished Thursday in better shape than the S&P 500 and the Dow. Are we seeing the beginning of an upsurge in tech? | 2019-04-26T05:46:43Z | https://blog.trade-radar.com/2010/02/tech-investors-have-plenty-to-smile.html |
My (Prospective) Tenant is on Life Support!
I ran into a friend of mine recently who helps manage a very large portfolio of rental properties. She always has the funniest stories to tell, and I just had to pass this one on.
They had an ad running for a rental property in a nice area of town. It was a typical 3 bedroom bread and butter house and there had been a lot of interest on this particular property. She said that until just before closing, she had the usual run of the mill tenant applications.
Then at the very last minute before closing, a lady ran into the office waving cash and said she had to put in her application today. She told the property manager that she was going to have to move quickly as she currently lived in a two story house with the bedrooms on the second floor. The applicant said this house was in the right location, and she reiterated that needed at least one first floor bedroom. She said this house would be perfect!
The prospective tenant began filling out the application and when it was complete my, friend looked over everything noting that the income given was for her and her husband. Wanting to get as much information as possible, she asked her why she needed to move so quickly. This nice lady said that, “Her husband would be off life support any day now, and when he came home from the hospital he was going to need a first floor bedroom that would accommodate his hospital bed he would need for his long recovery”.
After my friend recovered from the shock of hearing he was currently in ICU on life support, she gently asked the applicant what she would do if by some chance he didn’t recover. The tenant said she was sure he was going to recover but it might take some time. She just needed a house with a first floor bedroom. My friend pointed out that she didn’t have sufficient income by herself to rent the property.
So how did they leave it?
My friend the property manager told her to see if she could find a co-signer and get back with her. She never heard back from the lady so we really don’t know what happened.
Wow, that’s a sad situation. But it makes sense that you need to rent to someone who can pay. I suspect she probably found another home to rent – hopefully it works out for her and her husband (and the landlord).
I hope so too Mike. At the end of the day, you have to have a tenant that can pay the rent so that you can pay for the house. It would be much worse to let them move in (knowing that they couldn’t pay) and then have to evict them. No one wants to do that. | 2019-04-22T00:41:09Z | https://louisvillegalsrealestateblog.com/my-prospective-tenant-is-on-life-support/ |

Our client was struggling to maintain and grow its business due to a reliance on a core repertoire management system that was recognised as being no longer fit for purpose. Our client had reached a pivotal point in its development, but its global ambitions and passion to be the best in its field were being hampered by outdated software and manual business processes.
There had been several attempts to develop a new repertoire management system that would allow the company to expand. A lot of time and effort had been spent, but with little to show in terms of tangible results and change. There was a growing frustration about the lack of progress and the resulting impact this had on the client’s business.
We started working with this client as they were about to kick-off the first phase in the development of a new repertoire management system. It became clear that for the project to succeed there needed to be a stated consensus amongst management and stakeholders of why the development was being undertaken and what they were trying to achieve in business terms. This necessitated some core thinking and discussion about where the client was looking to go as a business and the customers it was seeking to attract. These decisions had to be made alongside maintaining the momentum of the project, and delivering tangible outcomes for stakeholders who had seen previous projects halted.
Development of a roadmap that clarified the new repertoire system in the context of the business strategy and systems architecture; this was agreed by management and stakeholders and used to guide decision making going forward.
Working with management and stakeholders to ensure that the rationale for the new repertoire system was understood and agreed.
Helped the client to state the key success criteria against which the repertoire management project would be assessed; this allowed decisions to be made, and the project to move forward.
Working with stakeholders to confirm the priorities and phasing of the repertoire management project, such that benefits could be delivered as early as possible, whilst maintaining alignment with the agreed roadmap.
Established ways of working with the client and a 3rd party software house to kick off the first phase of development of the new system and set in place the approach for future phases.
Handover to client’s internal project manager for the continuation of the project.
First phase of the new repertoire management system delivered and ready for testing.
Established a framework in which future projects could be defined and prioritised in the context of an agreed roadmap.
Facilitated an effective dialogue between IT and business stakeholders, setting in place a model for future projects. | 2019-04-20T11:21:31Z | https://appliedchange.co.uk/client-stories/music-industry-global-distribution-and-repertoire-management/ |

A startling novel powerfully displaying dynamics of sin and redemption, working across time. Something odd is happening to John Faversham, a scientifically minded Englishman of the late 20th century. By chance, he acquires a volume of poems by a minor 19th century poet, who turns out to have lived in his house. Moreover, one of the poems records a vivid dream which has recently been troubling John. How does be come to share a disturbing dream with a long-dead previous owner of his house? As Anthony Duncan's novel unfolds, we discover the roots of the story in the events of the English Reformation, in the 16th century. This sometimes startling tale powerfully displays dynamics of sin and redemption, working across time. But the author avoids any easy moralism. The novel is all the more powerful in its compelling depiction of life's knotted fabric, in which good and evil cannot be easily untangled. | 2019-04-19T12:53:54Z | https://www.thoth.co.uk/books/favershams-dream |

HP, which is the abbreviation of Hewlett-Packard, is one of the world’s major IT companies. It is headquartered at Palo Alto, California. HP is widely known for a variety of products encompassing both hardware and software.
HP, as a company has a rich history in computer technology. Although the company as born in 1939, it wasn’t until much later in the 60s that the company actually started to delve into manufacturing minicomputers. Laptops came a lot later and the first was the HP-110 in 1984. More products followed in this lineup after this.
HP, at present, offers two major laptop series. These are the Pavilion and Envy series notebooks. The Pavilion lineup was introduced in 2004, with the Envy lineup coming almost 5 years later.
When it comes to India, HP does have a huge presence in the country. The company easily ranks within the top five PC brands that are available in India. There is a huge network of retail stores and even company showrooms where products are available. Even popular ecommerce platforms offer discounts and offers for HP laptops.
Most students and professionals prefer HP, mainly because of its reputation as a brand and also the quality of products offered. Many of the laptops models are also reasonably priced, which means that they are largely affordable to many buyers.
HP offers some of the best laptops models and their design really stands out among the crowd. The Envy series laptops are more elegant than the Pavilion series. This is also because they are a tad bit expensive.
Most of the construction is polycarbonate or metal alloys. This ensures that devices are light in weight, but also strong enough to stand permissible shocks. You can expect the weight to up to 3 kilograms at most. Ultrabooks tend to be a lot lighter though.
HP’s laptops have screen sizes from 11 to 17 inches. The technology used in screen construction is IPS LED. They are also mostly HD/FHD in terms of resolution, thus offering clear viewing and graphics. Many of the devices also offer touchscreen functionality.
The keypad is a full sized one and offers a good typing experience. For devices that are priced highly, the keyboard is often a backlit one and makes typing easier. Besides, a touchpad that offers gesture based controls is also very good to have. Many of the laptops can also be operated in various modes, i.e. hybrid models.
HP’s laptops come in various different color options, although black, red, white and silver are the more commonly seen models.
Laptops from the house of HP are known to offer many different features. To start with, HP models come with both AMD and Intel processors. The Intel range largely consists of Core i3/i5/i7 at present times, along with Celeron and Pentium Dual Core ones. AMD processors of the FX series are the other option. Most models have inbuilt GPU or rely on discrete units from Nvidia or AMD Radeon.
For memory, the laptops are equipped with 2 to 8GB of RAM. Storage capacities are also pretty high and range between 500GB and 1.5TB.
A host of other options can be found in these laptops. Most of the devices are provided with Bang and Olufsen or Dolby audio. A HD web camera can also be found on all of the devices.
All laptops have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Along with these, you can get USB ports, HDMI port, Ethernet port and a 3.5mm universal headphone jack. The models also come with DVD writers.
The battery backup from HP laptops is largely favorable.
HP has recently launched the EliteBook 1020 G1. The device is pretty familiar to the MacBook and also made of aluminum and magnesium alloys. | 2019-04-25T18:26:52Z | http://www.quicktechusa.com/Laptop/compaq-i5-laptop-price |
Parades with floats, contests to determine the fastest or biggest or best, and enough warmth and hospitality to charm the “uptight” out of just about anyone, the small-town festivals of South Texas have provided decades of great food, live music, and tried-and-true traditions for both locals and visitors. Just bring your smile and stay a while!
Head down a country road on a sunny day in the South Texas Plains, and it’s a good bet you’ll find a small town celebrating something, whether a historical date or, in many of these farming communities, a top crop or commodity.
A few of these small-town festivals have been happening for so long—we’re talking decades—and have grown so popular that they’ve hit the big time, drawing record crowds from around the state, the country, and in some cases, the world.
With family in San Antonio, we often plan visits to coincide with these annual events. Each one is an easy day trip from the Alamo City, and everyone is welcome.
The first event in 1948 was created by the Rotary Club to give WWII veterans an incentive to return to family farms and help improve the area’s berries. Seems they did a great job, because today the Poteet festival draws more than 100,000 visitors during the festival weekend (usually mid-April).
We took the 45-minute drive south and jumped into the Strawberry Fest with both feet. Arriving a good hour before lunch, we indulged in some appetizers, including a bowl of fresh strawberries, strawberry lemonade, and a slice of strawberry nut bread. Sufficiently sated (for the moment), we dropped by the Strawberry Judging, where size, color, and sweetness were the elements of success.
That afternoon, we nibbled on BBQ, Tex-Mex, and various fried items (Oreos, pickles, and Frito pies) and still managed to make our way over to the rodeo arena to marvel at team roping and bull riding. The evening ended with an amazing fireworks display and, most notably, a strawberry-smothered brownie.
One of the oldest watermelon festivals in the state, the Jubilee transforms the city of Stockdale into a watermelon wonderland every June. We headed down on Saturday (a bit shy of an hour’s drive from San Antonio) and were just in time to watch the winners cross the finish line of the Watermelon Crawl 5K before finding a spot to watch the parade.
Big and boisterous, the Jubilee Parade had every form of wheeled transportation imaginable, along with watermelon-themed floats, crazy costumes, marching bands, and more. Special acclaim was reserved for the Jubilee royalty—the newly crowned “Queen Melone,” Miss Rodeo Stockdale, and their respective courts.
My favorite event was the Jubilee Dog Show and Races. Costumed pets were judged for their watermelon-themed outfits, and then it was off to the races, with owners cheering their four-pawed competitors on.
When it was first discussed in 1938, it was going to be called the “Peanut Pow Wow.” The more subtle “Peanut Festival” won out, however, and that’s how the town got its “goober” on.
Just 20 minutes south of San Antonio, Floresville is a pretty place with a stunning historic courthouse on the town square. It is here that the Peanut Festival festivities take place each year. When we arrived, families were enjoying the carnival rides, which we skipped in favor of going nuts at the food booths. Peanut butter treats, peanut brittle, and peanut cookies were all peanut perfection.
The parade featured the new Queen Tuneap and King Reboog (“peanut” and “goober” spelled backward). The queen’s coronation gown was extraordinary, with elaborately hand-sewn details decorating a train that was several yards long. Afterward, we went to watch the famous washer tournament, and ended the day two-stepping to live country music at the outdoor street dance.
The world famous Texas 1015 sweet onion was developed in Weslaco, located near the state’s southern tip. The 1015 comes from the suggested planting date, October 15, but the festival is held in late March before farmers have to buckle down for their bumper crops in June.
We were down at South Padre Island for spring break this year, so decided to roll on over to Weslaco to experience just how sweet the sweet onion festival could be. With all the onion-themed events, live music, and small town hospitality, we had a great time.
The big draw was the onion eating contest. All ages are welcome to enter, but since it involved actually biting into a raw onion, we chose to cheer on the brave competitors from the sidelines.
The onion recipe contest, however, was another matter. Each recipe had to incorporate at least half a cup of onions, and we were eager to get the recipes for winning dishes like onion, shrimp and pork dumplings, chocolate covered onion rings, and from the dessert category, butter-poached baby onion tart and lemon-thyme cake.
Drive 30 minutes west of San Antonio on Highway 90 and you’ll find the South Texas Maize, a celebration of harvest time in the countryside. Open September 12 to November 15, the centerpiece is a seven-acre maze planted with sorghum that produces stalks up to 12-feet high. Finding your way through the “maize” depends on how you answer the questions at strategic intersections along the way. Other attractions at the site include Paw Paw’s Pig Races, the Hay Bale Jump, and Farmer Ken’s Kiddie Korral. | 2019-04-20T12:34:34Z | https://www.traveltexas.com/articles/post/small-texas-towns-host-big-time-festivals/ |
Not only is Astrid Chevallier a multi-talented composer, singer and musician, she is also a graphic artist. She designs movie posters. Her artistic talent is evident on her album, both in sound and in the cover art and materials that came with the record.
She is French but sings mostly in English. The music is reminiscent of PJ Harvey’s but also of the more ethereal moody style of someone like Kate Bush.
After Cirque is downright creepy. The string intro with its heavy drum and Björkish vocal track gives me chills. Fantastic. This track along with Pluie she does not sing lyrics but rather just vocalizes. She says “there’s no language I have heard of yet that could really express what I am going through on songs like Pluie and After Cirque“. Indeed. These are beautiful and scary, in a good way of course.
This is an odd but complex and wonderful release. | 2019-04-26T13:58:03Z | http://www.blog.collectedsounds.com/?p=1138 |
Do you know about eye care? When was your last eye examination? If it has been ages since you’ve had an appointment, you need to read the tips below.
For best results, see a highly qualified eye doctor for serious issues with your eyes to get the best care. To locate the top doctors, look to your friends and family for suggestions, as well as find feedback from patients online. Doing this will ensure that your eyes are always getting the greatest care around.
Shades can provide excellent daytime eye protection. Get a good pair with great UV protection, and wear them each time you leave the house. Sun damages both the eyes and the skin surrounding the eyes. Do not go without eye protection on sunny days.
You may already know you need to wear sunglasses in the summertime, but you should realize they are important in winter, too. This is because snow reflects a great deal of light. UV rays from the sun can still hurt your eyes on cloudy days, even though it is not bright.
Not all sunglasses work the same. Make sure the sunglasses you use are able to block close to 100% of the UVB and UVA rays. Some poorly-made sunglasses may actually hurt your vision.
Do you still smoke? It is time to quit. You probably know about the damage it does to your lungs, but you may not know your eyes are affected, too. Most smokers have an increased proclivity for eye disease. Damage and harmful growth of cataract are minimized when you quit.
A major way to protect the eyes is by wearing sunglasses. Even on cloudy days you should protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Find shades that offer UV protection. It may be worth paying more to ensure that your eyes are protected.
Those who are constantly staring at a computer screen should be aware that doing so may damage eyes. Blink often to prevent dryness. Try not to stare at your screen too often. You can also invest in a special, anti-glare screen. Finally, position the monitor so that your eyes are even with the top edge of the screen. Look down at your computer at all times.
Poor eye health is usually from many different factors. It is highly important to know what it takes to ensure healthy eye care. Now that you’ve read this, you should know what it takes to keep your eyes healthy. | 2019-04-20T20:22:55Z | http://ocsuk.co.uk/what-you-ought-to-know-about-eye-care-3/ |
Wash your tatties and cut into orange segments. Do not peel them as the skin is full of nutritious goodness.
Put them in a bowl and slather them with dark soy sauce. Leave them for a while, stirring occasionally.
Place them on a baking tray, skin down, with shallots and garlic cloves - they need a bit of olive oil.
Roast until they are nicely cooked. They will be brown and crisp with fluffy interiors - a bit like me. | 2019-04-24T06:35:02Z | https://www.historyneedsyou.com/blog/fat-free-roast-potatoes |
Cut 1 piece from each of the fabrics the width of the blind required plus 2cm, and the drop required plus 6cm. Lay one panel flat, wrong side up, and turn in 0.5cm on all four sides. Iron down and baste. Repeat for other panel.
Put the checked and floral fabric pieces together, wrong sides facing. Pin and baste around both sides and the bottom. Machine-stitch together on three sides.
Insert wooden dowelling at the bottom of the blind and machine-stitch across the blind above it to hold it in place.

Staple the blind and webbing to the batten.

Alternatively, binding the blind with a contrasting fabric is a smart alternative to lining it. | 2019-04-19T17:25:36Z | https://www.idealhome.co.uk/diy-and-decorating/blinds-make-blinds-73991 |
1. How did your baking/caking journey begin?
If I showed you all the birthday cakes I made for my Triplet's 8th Birthday almost 10 years ago, you may have politely told me to “keep my day job”. There was a supermarket chocolate mud cake; one of those in the clear plastic tubs. Handwritten names of my three cherubs on top using store bought coloured icing. Not to forget 3 plastic toys to complete the look. There was no indication at that stage of my life, that I could (or even should) start a Cake Business.
It was my last child's first birthday in 2015 that started it all, as is so often the case. We hear about it all the time; a Mum has a crazy desire to make their own child's birthday cake. They think to themselves, “Oh how hard can it be? Why not do it? I'll give it a go.” It works, it's amazing! Not only does it look good, it tastes divine. All the other Mum's at the party wholeheartedly agree and tell her that she should start a cake business...and she does. And I did. Armed with a small cake tool box that my husband bought me as a gift, I created a Number 1 shaped cake complete with fondant and a cute looking 2D smiley giraffe face. It wasn't a great piece of art by any stretch of anybody’s imagination. All I can say is that something clicked in me, something shifted and a true passion was born. A creative outlet that had been simmering in the background for over 25 years.
Starting Sweet Lucy has meant everything to me. Not only have I been able to stay at home for my children; a goal since my triplets were born in 2000, but I have proven to myself that I can operate a business. Self doubt regarding whether I could ever be successful had held me back from opportunities for years. Looking back, I now realise that discovering my true passion had to come first to achieve lasting success and a business that I love.
I have never been a natural artist when it comes to drawing and painting and have found that edible images are the perfect medium to create images, calligraphy and artwork that add a real professional touch.
My work has started to involve printed icing sheet wraps more and more. Most of these buttercream or fondant cakes to date feature a patterned wrap a quarter or a half up the side of the cake. Over the next few weeks I have orders that will have the entire side of the cake wrapped in either a flower pattern or watercolour effect. For me, the available designs are limitless and fill the gap that exists in my skillset!
Definitely the cake wraps mentioned above as well as the continued trend of edible image toppers for cupcakes both for children’s birthday and corporate logos.
6. What is the funniest/most unusual cake you’ve been asked to create?
A chook! One of my lovely customers asked for a full size chicken cake for her 13 year old daughter as these are her favourite animals. I was told that she didn’t want to cut it!

In May this year, Sweet Lucy was awarded a Business Excellence Award in the Micro/Home Based Business Section by Bundaberg Regional Chambers of Commerce. We are also featured in 100 Faces of Small Business, a Queensland Government Initiative.
In regard to cake, we were fortunate to be asked to design a cupcake bouquet for a bride in July. It has been one of my favourite creations. | 2019-04-20T01:24:17Z | https://www.edibleimagesupplies.com.au/Cake%20Blog/edible-image-supplies-edible-image-cake-blog-cake-decorating-business-startup-home-business-cake-wrap-cake-toppers-cupcake-bouquet-sweet-lucy |

How successful has Nato's strategy been in Afghanistan?
Under General David Petraeus, a major plank of Nato's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) strategy has been "kill/capture raids" - lightning strikes on senior Taliban personnel to either take prisoner or kill.
But have they worked? Isaf supplies no consistent data on the policy, other than issuing a string of press releases claiming success after success, releases which often describe several raids in different places simultaneously. Researchers Alex Strick van Linschoten and Felix Kuehn wanted to find out exactly how the missions worked.
You can read their full report here. Frustrated by the lack of hard data, Strick van Linschoten scraped the reports, then used the Tinderbox database package to process each incident and extract the key numbers.
What he found is a very different picture to that described by Isaf press releases. "There are still relatively large numbers of Afghans subject to the capture-or-kill raids," he says.
Although, interestingly, there has been a decline in these raids since Petraeus left Afghanistan in July this year.
The report is a fund of data crucial to understanding the way Nato has fought the conflict. We've mapped some of the key facts by province, too.
This data, painstakingly collated, is the first time we can get a real picture of what is happening.
Aside from occasional scraps thrown to the media by ISAF, this is the first time that we have been able to get a somewhat more nuanced picture of how ISAF is operating, minimum figures for how many people are being detained and killed as well as a makeshift way to evaluate the usefulness of ISAF's own aggregate numbers that supposedly show the successes of the raids in Afghanistan.
Strick van Linschoten has visualised the timeline of releases below - you can explore it by clicking and dragging - or seeing it on the original site. | 2019-04-22T18:58:44Z | https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2011/oct/12/afghanistan-nato-kill-capture-raids-isaf-petraeus |
mundane jane: Poke a stick in that puppy and give it to me to go.
Poke a stick in that puppy and give it to me to go.
I love corn dogs. I don't eat them as often as crunchy and delicious drive-through tacos, but every now and then, nothing will make me happy but a steaming hot battered wiener on a stick.
For instance, I like a good corn dog on my birthday. And because this week has been a bit of a pisser, I think I'll look one up today on my lunch hour--sort of the working girl's alternative to the good-Lord-I-hope-this-gets-me-to-5 o'clock, two-martini lunch.
No mustard. Who does this? Yet, every time I order one, I have to send the server back for the mustard. This one point is non-negotiable. A dry corn dog may as well be no corn dog at all. Come back and get it, cause I'm not eating it.
Anything less than a steaming hot corn dog. Nobody likes a cold wiener. Okay, a dog will eat a cold wiener, as will a small child. And both will eat practically anything, provided it is found unguarded on the floor, so there you go. If your judgement is such that you will eat a weiner off the floor, then a cold weiner won't give you much pause.
A wiener that is too large. There must be the correct ratio of dog-to-corn. Otherwise, what's the point? One might as well be eating naked wieners off the floor with the dogs and the little children and the people with questionable judgement.
Anyone reminding me what comprises a wiener while I am in the process of eating one. There's no real reason to expound on this one, is there? Too much editorializing, and I run the risk of ruining my own corn dog.
If you're thinking that a lot of things have to come together to result in the perfect corn dog, you're right. But when it works, it's well worth the trouble--and waiting for the server to fetch a packet of mustard.
Please, please note their slogan.
The extremely righteous music on this podcast is a remix of Feel My Pain Miss Jane, words, music, production, and performance by David Henderson.
Corn dogs are the only real reason to go to the state fair.
What about funnel cakes? Would you go to the fair for funnel cakes?
As I was reading this I kept thinking , "My mom is talking about penises. Is my mom taking about penises?"
From someone's who made that trip to the state fair with their two kids every year,nothing could get me to the state fair. The corn dogs are good and the funnel cakes are good but I can get either at any small town event in the state without having to walk five miles just to get to the gate at the state fair and walk five miles back to my car with two sleepy, cranky kids in tow.
Stop it! Now I'm gonna have to come up with air fair to go back to Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio to ride on the world's best and scariest roller coasters and then eat a Pronto Pup. Definitely in that order. And how I'll do this on a writer's salary is going to be the tricky part, as you well know, Boss.
Nothing at all could get me to any state fair, but the Faulkner County Fair is just around the corner and I've had some really good corn dogs, mustard included without asking. So you won't have to wait much longer for your perfect corn dog Jane.
That's nice. Not only do I have writers commenting on posts, but also using it as a platform to lobby for better pay. So noted, Lulu.
How can you write a whole blog about corn dogs and never mention the little crunchy batter at the end of dog? That, sweet girl, is why you trudge through the imbalance of dog-to-corn ratio, and what allows the server to live when you're already on your way home only to find there is no mustard. | 2019-04-18T22:41:19Z | http://www.mundanejane.com/2007/08/poke-stick-in-that-puppy-and-give-it-to.html?showComment=1188514380000 |
It’s Wednesday and we have a big 4-game NBA Slate tonight that starts at 8:00 pm.
Don't forget to check out who we have going in our NBA FanDuel Lineup also!!!!!
For Minnesota, we have Wiggins in there for right now as his $5,600 seems a bit too low for me in what is a good match-up.
With T.J. Warren & Deandre Ayton out, Devin Booker has some great upside as he should be easily putting up 20+ shots tonight. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been a solid producer since being acquired for the suns and should see some extra run with Warren out. I think you can also go with some value with the Suns if you want to spend up elsewhere as Josh Jackson went off for a 52.0 DraftKings point performance last game and Dragan Bender has posted back-to-back double-doubles with both Holmes & Ayton out. If Holmes is playing tonight, he is also someone to take a look at later.
For Portland, it’s hard not to go with Jusuf Nurkic with how undersized the Suns are right now. Nurkic’s price has gone up a bit, but he has 60+ DraftKings point upside in this match-up.
As we are able to fit in two Centers with the UTIL spot in DraftKings, I did add Jahlil Okafor in our DraftKings lineup as he is coming off back-to-back 40+ DraftKings performances and between his low-price tag and the fact they’ll need his size against OKC, I don’t mind rolling the dice with him again tonight. | 2019-04-25T16:29:44Z | https://sportschatplace.com/picks/fantasy/dfs-fantasy-basketball-nba-draftkings-lineup-main-slate-1-24-19 |
When I officially set my studio up in 2012, I changed the name I’d unofficially been using for almost ten years.
To say that I did it to distance myself from my previous artistic ventures wouldn’t be entirely true though. Yes, I cringe when I look at my older pieces – people have even had to intervene to prevent me from destroying some of them (a whole other story), but that doesn’t mean that the work itself is without some merit.
You can’t see me twitching violently here, as I go to post this. Some of the work that will appear in this series dates back as far as the 1980’s, and challenges me not to hit delete. . . but it’s part of the process.
I’m preparing to release another creative project out into the wilds.
Why not just release this new thing, and not put yourself / us through this?
I’m glad you asked that. I did this as a personal challenge. I’ve been fairly successful as an artist, I’ve won awards, scholarships, contests, been featured in magazines, galleries and had a number of solo shows. I’ve sold my work to people around the world. This has happened over 42 years.
Yep. The first thing I won was a province wide painting contest, to design a poster for the public library system. It was open to any elementary students in British Columbia. I was in kindergarten.
With that said, I know art is subjective, and not everyone likes my work. I’ve had less than constructive critiques leveled at me over the years, as well as positive encouragement. I learned from my detractors, as some of what they had to say was useful. Some of it was not. Some of it was intended to be destructive. I developed a sense of humour about myself, as well as a thick skin. I do what I do because it’s a part of me. To stop would be to stop breathing. I draw, paint, sculpt, explore digital stuff, take pictures, dabble in music and write, because I love it. If others like the results too, that’s fantastic!
This new project has fewer years behind it. I’ve only shown my writing to a small group. I’m learning from the critiques. The art I’m using with this feature is my quiet way to ‘stalk’ those parts of me that are still fragile, bound to ego, or would get in the way of letting my creative ‘word-baby’ grow properly.
Thank you for reading this. Please feel free to comment, and share your own creative process.
Great work Jenn. It is amazing to me what you did at 5 years old. You are amazingly talented.
Thank you – What creative things do you pursue?
Jenn I am not an artist. I love looking at your art though. I have a blog. I love to refinish antique furniture. I have not done any pieces in a very long time. I just recently purchased an antique headboard and footboard for my grand daughter. I will be working on that soon.
That, makes you an artist.
Will you post pictures of it when you're done? | 2019-04-19T23:18:10Z | https://mythspinnerstudios.com/2015/01/07/reviewing-past-artwork-an-exercise-in/ |

Established in 1914, this historic institution is home to over 9,000 animals of 750 species. The San Antonio Zoo has been making strides in animal care since its inception, being one of the first “cageless” zoos in the country among other accomplishments. Beautifully landscaped over 56 gorgeous acres of exhibits, gardens, and attractions, the San Antonio Zoo is as equally devoted to offering the public clean, comfortable enjoyment as they are dedicated to providing the highest standards of care for all living things.
Housing one of the largest bird collections in the country, San Antonio Zoo is home to birds from all over the globe. See bananaquits mingle with Congo peacocks, Egyptian plovers, green aracaris, toucans, macaws, and a variety of North American birds including owls, hawks, eagles, and songbirds.
Equally impressive are the reptile and amphibian centers where you can find poison dart frogs, Japanese giant salamanders, pythons, Armenian vipers, African bullfrogs, Mexican axolotl, and various dangerous creatures from jungles and deserts. Of course, American alligators, dwarf caimans, and an assortment of toothy favorites are also to be found among the exhibits.
The San Antonio Zoo is also notable for its breeding programs among the mammal populations. 53 endangered snow leopards have been successfully bred since 1970 and they are the first zoo in the country to successfully breed endangered whooping cranes. Other animals you may see include African favorites such as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, lions, hippos, and white rhinos. Asian elephants, fossa, jaguars, okapi, lemurs, and spider monkeys elevate the collection to a new level as do a unique collection of monkeys and primates.
Take part in the zoo's educational programs and behind-the-scenes tours to make this destination an even more memorable experience. | 2019-04-23T00:43:31Z | https://www.adventurestudenttravel.com/san-antonio-zoo/ |

London Evening Standard - The New Optimism: How You Can Be Happy | Robert Holden, Ph.D.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Exactly what I expected from Me Creuset Beautiful, heat conduction is wonderful. Love this for gumbo and big pots of soups and stews.
Rated 4 out of 5 by scorpiondiva from Nice Pot-Beautiful Color While I am ultimately happy with this pot, you should be aware that things do stick and will burn. I have a gas stove & it does burn hot, so I cook on "LOW" 90% of the time. Even so, my butter burned within seconds of my adding it. Good thing I don't step away! Either way I do love the size. I just need to find something to get the burn stain out without ruining the inside.
Rated 5 out of 5 by tfrey from Love ! This is the perfect size pot I desperately needed !! Ty QVC very sturdy and well made !!
Rated 5 out of 5 by 57Fanna57 from FABULOUSLY PERFECT Bought the cherry stock pot. Received yesterday. True, it is not cast iron, but still a lovely Le Creuset piece. I make a lot of soups, stews, and chili, and this piece is perfect for that! $100 for a Le Creuset, although not made in France, was still a good buy. Last piece I need is a skillet, which I'll order when I pay down my Q Card! Lol. Ladies, I know you understand this!
Rated 5 out of 5 by SandyBE from The Best pot for High Temps and Boiling!!! First off, I love my Le Creuset Cast iron pots, but be aware this is a STEEL pot! It's made for high temperatures, such as boiling water for pasta. And talk about a beautiful rolling boil this pot produces. My husband video taped the water to send to his sister, the first time I used it! The water just rolls over and over, no bubbling splatters! Anyhow, I have the 10 quart also. All of my Le Creuset is in the beautiful cherry. This pot does not disappoint! Worth every penny!!! | 2019-04-24T00:51:52Z | https://www.qvc.com/Le-Creuset-8-qt-Stock-Pot.product.K297119.html |

The day before President Trump’s rambling Rose Garden remarks announcing a national emergency on our southern border, I sat down with Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.). All that was needed was for Congress to vote on the budget deal to avert another government shutdown and send the legislation to Trump’s desk for his signature. And Bass was clear-eyed about what Trump’s theater was masking.
Bass’s first visit to the podcast came just months after Trump’s inauguration in 2017. A time when the Los Angeles Democrat said her town halls had turned her into a “political therapist.” That all changed, Bass said, when she put anxiety into action.
So I asked Bass, who was part of a small CBC delegation that met with the president in March 2017, how successful the caucus could be in thwarting him and achieving its goals with Trump in the White House. “With 55 people and the amount of power that we have on a committee and subcommittee level, it’s all very doable,” she said. CBC members now chair the committees on homeland security, financial services, oversight and reform, education and labor, and science, space and technology.
Listen to the podcast to hear Bass talk more about Trump, the Democratic Party and her thoughts on the freshman House member everyone can’t seem to stop talking about: “AOC,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). | 2019-04-23T02:35:04Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/02/19/go-ahead-have-theater-karen-bass-knows-theres-no-national-emergency/ |

I was allowed to use it for a girls trip in 3 generations ❗ Room was family type and was very satisfied with wide room and children were pleased. The sea which can be seen from the room was very beautiful and moved! I entered the pool for two days, so I was free and the children also enjoyed swimming freakly ❗ Thank you very much!
As I heard that it was an established long-established store, the oldness was prepared, but it was renovated, so the oldness was not bothered by both appearance and interior. The room is a common Japanese style room. Wallpaper etc. were also renovated and comfortable. The smallness of the bathroom and the restroom's toilet and the narrowness of the washroom are somewhat concerned, but I think that it can not be helped from the building age. Viking in the morning and evening is impressive! The number of goods was also great and it was delicious. Travel is my hobby and I use many hotels in the same price range, but COSPA is at the top level. Also, it was good for everyone to feel employees. At the dinner venue, I had a good impression of being a woman who asked me to warm up baby food to bring in, and elderly customers who can not take Viking by themselves without being hated. Bathrooms also had a wide open-air stall and good view, and it was comfortable. Little washing space, busy season seems to be crowded. The pool and the jungle spa were delightful for children aged 5 and 1. However, at these two facilities I did not see any employees during the time I was playing. Because it is a place where accidents can happen, I think that employees should be placed. Indeed, spa playgrounds collapsed and children became underlayers, but at that time the employees were not at the spa. Although I wrote various things, it is a hotel recommended for children with a variety of goods for infants in both restaurants and public baths. I would like to also use our house!

This week, CYCA honored its 2012 Champions and Corpsmembers of the Year – and inspiring words from young adults such as Christian Ndushabandi were shared by every corpsmember who was recognized for his or her contribution to land, energy and water conservation. Held in the Colorado State Capitol’s Old Supreme Court Chambers, the annual Youth Corps Awards Ceremony was both a tribute and a testament to the hard work of young adults throughout the state, as well as to the leaders who keep the vision of youth corps and natural resources stewardship moving forward every year.
Will Shafroth, counselor to the secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, was named the 2012 Champion for Youth. CYCA selected Shafroth as the 2012 Champion for Youth because of his leadership at the U.S. Department of the Interior, service on the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps Federal Advisory Committee, work on the America’s Great Outdoors Initiative, and support for youth conservation corps during his time as executive director of Great Outdoors Colorado. All of these efforts have contributed to the success of Colorado youth corps over the past 15 years and resulted in thousands more young people having the opportunity to serve Colorado while charting a brighter future for themselves.
While Shafroth was unable to attend the ceremony in person, he shared a video in which he acknowledged and congratulated this year’s award winners. In the video, Shafroth said, “One of the things I love about working on youth corps issues is that I can do a lot of different things with one effort. Youth corps provide great opportunities to engage young people in meaningful employment that has tangible effects. Whether it be restoring wetlands, building trails, planting trees or preserving historic structures, these young people have a chance to make a real difference in the world. These experiences also help young people gain life skills that will serve them in the workforce, build confidence and leadership skills, and connect them with nature in a way that will benefit them today but also the country in the future.” View the video here.
Colorado State Senator Jeanne Nicholson (Senate District 16) and State Representative Millie Hamner (House District 61) were named Legislators of the Year. They were honored because of their co-sponsorship of HB 12-1032 (Forest Restoration Programs Continuation), which encourages the use of youth conservation corps on forest restoration projects. As a result of HB 12-1032, youth conservation corps will be able to engage more young people on forest restoration and beetle kill projects for the protection of residents, visitors, and our water and recreation resources.
Senator Nicholson and Representative Hamner recognize that youth and young adults can serve as assets to our state and make positive contributions. At the ceremony, they spoke about the importance of providing young people with work opportunities that are meaningful and that contribute to making our forests healthy. They also pointed to the value of partnerships between youth corps and public agencies with critical projects that need to be completed.
The work of these individuals has helped hundreds of young people gain jobs, job training, life skills, college scholarships, and high school and college credits. “In many cases, these corpsmembers have overcome personal barriers and capitalized on support from their youth corps to serve our state, further their education, learn to work hard, and look toward bright futures. We are so proud of their commitment to the state of Colorado,” said Jennifer Freeman, executive director of CYCA.
Born in Rwanda, East Africa, Christian grew up in a country entrenched in civil war and genocide. In 1994, when Christian was just one year old, he lost his father to violence. His pregnant mother was severely injured and left for dead after she was struck by a machete. Christian, a Tutsi, was saved by his Hutu babysitter, who strapped him to her back and pretended that he was hers, saving his life. Christian was reunited with his mother, and they fled across the border to the Congo. Years later, Christian’s mother remarried and his sisters were born. Then civil war broke out in the Congo and Christian’s stepfather was killed. Finally, from a refugee camp in Uganda, Christian’s family was given the opportunity to immigrate to the United States.
Today, Christian is enrolled full-time at Pikes Peak Community College – thanks in part to an AmeriCorps Education Award he earned through youth corps – and works every weekend in food service the U.S. Air Force Academy. He plans to become a United States citizen, attend medical school, and someday return to aid his native country.
Christian’s story, and the stories of the other nine Corpsmembers of the Year, were an inspiration to everyone in attendance – and it’s these types of stories that keep some people coming back to the awards ceremony each year. One of our guests was Michael McClain of the National Park Service, who travels from Florissant so that he can be there in person to honor the youth corps for their dedication. Youth corps regularly complete land conservation projects at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument where McClain works. A 20-year veteran of the National Park Service, McClain says he was 19 when he first started doing natural resources work.
And thank you, Senator Marble, for introducing our Corpsmembers of the Year on the floor of the Senate. The young people were thrilled to be on the floor and see their elected officials in action.

As I drove home this evening, I sifted through possibilities for tonight’s blog post. This was one of those days where I felt drawn in several different directions, with no clear indication yet which path to take. Music had snagged my heart, and I listened to the La La Land soundtrack as I drove…and yet silence met my inquiry when I asked about sharing something musical.
I also felt drawn toward creating on a new page in my art journal. I am very much enjoying that artistic journey. Yet again, when I picked up the journal at home, and scanned through a new page, nothing really connected with me.
I considered that tonight, for the first time since I began blogging, three plus years ago, I might not have anything to write about.
And yet…something…something…was trying to rise to the surface.
Reaching for my Walking in This World book, by Julia Cameron, I finished the last chapter. It was on the final two pages that the stirrings within finally surfaced and understanding dawned.
In the final task, at the end of the book, Julia writes that each of us carries the inner capacity for awe. Different things inspire different people, and some things simply make us happy, and some things we love for no apparent reason. We experience the touch of the Great Creator, when we touch upon something we love.
Julia says, “Because the part of us that creates is youthful and innocent, an ideal place to collect artist toys is a good children’s bookstore.” I know the truth of Julia’s statement. I often pick up a book from the children’s library, when I am learning something new. These books for kids cut out the unnecessary clutter and get to the important stuff quickly.
The assignment was to find a children’s book that makes me happy. “Make it a point that your bedside table contains at least one book on a topic that simply delights you.” She goes on to write that delight opens the door for the Divine to touch us.
There it was, the connection I was looking for, the door swinging open. I had a strong visual image of looking through an open door earlier in the day, and wasn’t sure how to interpret that. And now the Divine was inviting me to enter, by way of my delight.
Because, I already have a children’s book on my bedside table, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and I’ve been wondering how to share about it. However, I’m not exactly clear about why I have been drawn to read this book, and the series that follows. I recently rewatched all the Harry Potter movies. And that wasn’t enough. Now I know I am supposed to read the books.
This magical tale, by JK Rowling, centers on Harry Potter, an orphaned boy who does not know who he is. He only knows he is miserable, living in a tiny cupboard under the stairs, in a house with horrible people. His aunt, uncle, and insufferable cousin fear who he might be and seek to prevent Harry from living his destiny.
But when a mysterious owl delivers a strange letter to young Potter, his life shifts dramatically. The letter is an invitation to a place, a world, that Harry never dreamed existed. At Hogwarts, Harry Potter finds new friends and incredible knowledge, strength he didn’t know he possessed and almost overwhelming challenges. Ultimately, he finds himself.
I may not know yet what all the truths are for me, within these children’s books, but in this first volume, I’ve discovered…it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live…it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to an enemy and just as much to stand up to friends…fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself…truth can be beautiful and terrible…and music is a magic, beyond all we do here.
I don’t have to know why I am being guided to Harry Potter. I don’t have to figure it all out. My inner artist knows what she’s doing. I can simply marvel. I can delight. And in finding delight, I am opening the door to the touch of the Divine, and connecting to a sense of the marvelous.

For many people, Super Bowl Sunday is the most anticipated winter tv program. I do watch that sporting event. However, it is not the most keenly anticipated show for me. All my life, the end of December has not only signaled the end of the year, it signals the countdown to my favorite televised event…the Academy Awards, nicknamed the Oscars.
I am posting in the blog during commercial breaks, as this award show typically concludes late in the evening. And I am loving the program already. Justin Timberlake performed one of the nominated songs as the opener, a lively number that had attendees on their feet, dancing in the aisles. I applauded as heartily as anyone.
I confess to a slight trepidation, leading up to the award show. With the highly charged political climate that we currently live in, I felt my anticipation diminished by the concern that tonight’s focus would shift from the movies and spectacular performances to divisive speeches and statements.
This is what I had to do…let my concerns go. I accepted that everyone is allowed to share their thoughts and opinions. Everyone. And if I reacted to something said, whether by host Jimmy Kimmel or a presenter or an actor accepting an Oscar, that’s on me, that’s something to go within and inquire about.
I needn’t have been concerned. Host Jimmy Kimmel set the tone for the evening with a light hearted opening monologue. “We are going to have fun tonight!” Jimmy promised. I applauded again.
The first winner of the evening was Mahershala Ali, for Moonlight. If Jimmy set the tone for the award show, Mahershala raised the bar for acceptance speeches. He was humble, gracious, sincere. “It’s not about you,” he was told as a new actor, “You are serving the characters, the stories.” My heart was pierced by his words, his tears. Mahershala is an actor to watch, as he tells stories.
Viola Davis picked up the Oscar for her performance in Fences. Through tears she shared passionately that she became an actress because this is a profession that knows what it means to celebrate life…not just well known publically recognized lives, but the lives of common everyday people who hoped and dreamed and lived and died. She was asked, as an actress, “What kind of stories do you want to tell?” Viola is answering that question through the characters she chooses to portray.
Emma Stone captured this award, her first, for her role in La La Land. She thanked the other nominees for allowing her to stand alongside them. Through tears she said she still has a lot of learning and growing to do, and her Oscar is a symbol, a sign, to continue on her journey.
Casey Affleck, humble and searching for the right words, picked up his first Oscar for Manchester by the Sea. His acting career has been inspired by Denzel Washington, whom he met for the first time tonight.
Damien Chazelle, La La Land, picked up his first Oscar and is the youngest director in history to win in the Best Director category. He is 32 years old.
In all the years that I’ve watched the Oscars, I’ve never seen the wrong winner announced. It happened tonight, for the top award, Best Picture. The presenters were given the wrong envelope, which contained the winner for Best Actress Emma Stone, La La Land. Confused, they hesitated and at last announced La La Land as the winner. During the acceptance speech, one of the supposed winners broke the news that they had actually lost…and Moonlight was the correct winner. I was as confused as everyone else was! I was hoping La La Land would win. But I was impressed with the graciousness of the La La Land cast and the Moonlight group. I wish both could have walked off the stage with Oscars.
I so enjoyed the evening. There were many surprises, such as a bus full of unsuspecting tourists who got a peek inside the theater, and a funny Mean Tweets segment where actors read trolls’ comments about them on Twitter. And a huge number of firsts occurred: all the major categories were won by people receiving their first Oscars, Amazon had its first big movie nominated, Manchester by the Sea, and it won in two categories, the youngest director in history won, and for the first time a major goof at the end caused the wrong film to be announced as Best Picture. Wow.
For me, the biggest surprise (other than the unintentional twist at the end) was finding out what this year’s theme was for the Academy Awards…Inspiration. I didn’t know until the theme was revealed, half way through the show. My mouth fell open. I loved my personal connection with the word, my word for 2017, and that men and women shared throughout the evening about the films, characters and actors who inspired them.
And there were tears, shed by winners as they spoke from their hearts, and shed by me during those acceptance speeches, during moving performances of the nominated songs, and when Michael J Fox, who is battling Parkinson’s disease, presented for Film Editing.
The Memorial segment is especially poignant, as actors who have died in the past year are honored for their contributions to the world, and for their lives. We lost so many bright shining souls, passionate gifted people who devoted their lives to following their hearts. We have been blessed by their dedication.
I was inspired tonight. I have nine Best Picture nominated films to watch and I made a list of other movies, shorts and documentaries to view as well. In fact, for the first time, I would like to watch all of the winners, in all of the categories, a lofty goal for sure, a challenge I am presenting to myself.
I appreciated the diversity of the 89th Academy Awards. Although La La Land collected the most Oscars with six wins, no movie overshadowed the others. The winners were from countries around the world including Italy, Syria, Iran, Canada, France and England. All races, colors, genders and ages were represented, celebrated, and honored. | 2019-04-25T14:45:46Z | http://cindygoesbeyond.com/2017/02/27/ |

It consist of several courses you can study at your own pace. The courses are worth a determined amount of points depending on their depth level. The MVA site in turn works on a points based system and scoreboard as way of encouragement and as way to rank you in the site.
Bronze: 0 to 370 points.
Silver: 371 to 699 points.
Gold: 700 to 999 points.
Platinum: 1000 points or more.
Beyond the points and scoreboard within the MVA community. Finishing courses and getting points get anyone enrolled in the MVA discounts for Microsoft Certifications and access to special Microsoft promotions related to Microsoft technologies with courses on the MVA.
The Microsoft Virtual Academy is free for anyone wanting to enroll in, the only thing needed is a Live ID and being interested in a specific course.
The Microsoft Virtual Academy site in itself is very well laid out and as something worth of pointing out, it happens to sport a Metro UI-UX styled design. Something that looks to be spreading over all Microsoft web properties now. And I must say it works very well to make things fluid and pleasant.
For further questions about the MVA, the site got a fairly clear F.A.Q page you can take a look at.
Microsoft Virtual Academy results in a very interesting hybrid of e-learning portal and promotional vehicle from Microsoft as its main function beyond promoting Microsoft Tech is to help as a easier to follow and use learning aid for those interested in Microsoft Certifications. But that thanks to it being well balanced, works pretty well.
Separated by less than a month from the release of Flash 10.2, A new Adobe AIR update is now out and while it is not a major release by itself, it is what should have also been released with Adobe AIR 2.5. In fact Adobe AIR 2.6 got released broken in several releases; From the release of AIR 2.6 for Android that was released in advance of both the Desktop SDK and Runtime of Adobe AIR 2.6, and of course the actual update for currently installed Adobe AIR runtimes that just went live last week.
The reason for the advanced release of AIR 2.6 for Android had all to do with Adobe’s strategic partnership with Google, as Adobe needed and more than likely was demanded for this release AIR to spice up Google’s own release of Android 3.0 A.K.A Honeycomb and Android 3.0 based slates like the Motorola XOOM. This way AIR for Android could then fully support the Content Viewer for Android and Adobe’s new Digital Publishing Suite.
Adobe AIR 2.6 is all about pushing forward the dream of Adobe to go Multiscreen and do so with good performance. Reason why I guess all that it is in AIR 2.6 could not had been released with AIR 2.6 as Flash 10.2 advancements were integral to realizing this.
With AIR 2.6, Adobe goes back to truly supporting iOS in the SDK, and they are going back on iOS with a vengeance, as they are now offering a end to end solution akin to what Novell’s MonoTouch does for iOS. Giving Flash, Flex and WebStack devs the comfort of developing in the way they know they are faster with. Leaving it to the AIR for iOS solution to integrate the developed code as a native iOS App via the “new” AIR Developer Tool instead of the OS X Packager for iPhone; Native iOS apps with the RIAness of Adobe but without sacrificing performance anymore.
So AIR 2.6 starts truly delivering Adobe AIR as a MultiScreen solution. In the same way you can say Microsoft is working on making Silverlight run everywhere. AIR 2.6 actually puts Adobe once again completely in the lead, by making it possible to deliver RIA apps that run in the Desktop (Win, OS X, Linux), the Web (Via the Flash plugin) and in two mobile platforms (Android and iOS) with two different form factors. And with the additional promise of AIR being able to deliver Apps to two extra Mobile platforms sooner than later. Starting with The Playbook from RIM and potentially following with HP WebOS later on. You could also wonder why am not also counting Adobe AIR for TV’s. And the simple reason for that, is because it is not truly there yet. But just like in the case of The Playbook, that should soon change.
Take advantage of new features in iOS 4 like multitasking, retina display for higher screen resolutions up to 960x640, and front and back camera support. Capture audio with the microphone and build applications with an integrated development process when packaging to the IPA format.
Conveniently debug your applications on an Android device through a USB connection with no Wi-Fi setup required. Android USB drivers for Microsoft® Windows® are now included with the Adobe AIR software development kit (SDK).
Maximize graphics rendering performance for Android and iOS by taking advantage of the device's graphics hardware acceleration.
Display web links inside an application (for example, your Facebook application) to quickly access web content without having to leave your application. No need to switch to your web browser.
Simplify the development of multiscreen applications when soft keyboards automatically appear when required. Desktop applications originally designed for physical keyboards are more easily optimized for mobile devices when you don't have to modify the content or application to display the soft keyboard.
Is in a sense what Adobe AIR 2.6 brings now, An Adobe that shows they are playing to win by bringing their best RIA game into fruition, in as many screens and platforms they can manage. Making the plight for the RIA a dead serious statement on why Runtimes and Plugins are here to stay and got a solid place in the future.
But if words are not enough, here is a video showing what AIR 2.6 brings and the potential of what Adobe AIR 3.0 could then mean in the future.
Before there were proper browser add-ons, there were Bookmarklets. These allow you to perform a function you would usually use a browser extension or userscript for. And they are named bookmarklets, because they can be saved in the same way as a simple bookmark, while at the same time they are not bookmarks at all. In order to use them you need to click them in the same way you would click any other bookmark. Usually best to access them from the favorites bar or Bookmarks toolbar in your preferred browser for a improved convenience.
Marklets is a simple bookmarklet search engine and index, from where you can search for all kinds of these smart bookmarks, as the marklets site aptly calls them.
Right now there are 99 bookmarklets, but the number should be able able to grow well beyond that as anyone can add a bookmarklet to the site or rank the existing ones. Site is well structured, while sparsely designed in order to make the ads in the site a bit more effective from what I can gather. Not really a bother just a make the site a bit uneven.
So what kind of functions can you get by using bookmarklets? Anything from a one click link capture twitter share to a one click website element remover for a easier website screenshot capture, etc, etc.
Bookmarklets are a good way to not having to install unnecessary browser-addons and easy to use and share because they will work in pretty much any browser. Marklets makes for a easier way to get them.

Burst Linking is a concept that always attracted my attention from the times it was only possible via a desktop tool running in Windows 95 (circa 1997 . Now the concept is being used along with Shorturl sharing as a web app, which makes this old concept fresh once again.
Brief.ly is a great free burst linking online tool, that allows you to share multiple links in a single shorturl link. Going also beyond what other similar online tools did by giving you a better landing page for your pack of links with free analytics and even multiple shorturl providers for you to choose from.
Previously, I had posted about BridgeURL, which was to my knowledge (at the time I posted on it) the best online burst linker tool around. With only a really big flaw: the shorturl it gave you linked to a website viewer first instead of linking to a landing page with the pack of links you had shared. Which struck me as odd as it goes against the purpose of burst linking.
Brief.ly don’t does that and gets it right by giving you several shorturl providers to choose from and linking you first to a landing page with the pack of links you shared as it should be! Secondary to that come the iframe based website viewers, they also give you and even the need of you having to be registered to the service. You don’t have to be registered to use brief.ly. But if you do register, they give you some simple analytics for the links you are sharing as an extra. You can join brief.ly by registering a account or by logging in with Facebook. The choice is put at your discretion. I personally recommend registering an account. It is a really great online tool for sharing multiple links in one go, the best one yet.
Taken from the Ireland Windows 7 Theme, here I bring you 17 Desktop Backgrounds (wallpapers) of Ireland plus 22 custom system sounds made for that theme you can also use if you want.
Then you just select the sounds you want to change one by one, match accordingly to the file names of the .Wav files included in the zip file linker in this very post. That should give you the same “Celtic” sounds scheme that is added automatically in Windows 7, but in your Windows XP installation.
In the case you want to revert to the default sound scheme, just go back to the Sound Tab in the Sounds and Audio Device Properties Window and select the default sound scheme under the sound scheme selector, then click apply. Easy.
Then you just select the sounds you want to change one by one, match accordingly to the file names of the .Wav files included in the zip file linked in this very post. That should give you the same “Celtic” sounds scheme that is added automatically in Windows 7, but in your Windows Vista installation.
In the case you want to revert to the default sound scheme, just go back to the Sound Tab in the Sound Window and select the default sound scheme under the sound scheme selector, then click apply. Easy.
While it was mainly a coincidence, what better day to post a Windows 7 Theme focused on Ireland than in Saint Patrick’s Day right? Right.
This way you can easily extend your thoughts of the contemplatively beautiful Ireland from a day to a week. And as the official theme write up says, why would you not if it is all so pretty and nice?
This Windows 7 Theme comes with a green tint (of course), 17 desktop backgrounds, but more importantly 22 custom sounds for the OS with an awesome Irish folklore music touch to them apply called Celtic. Simply a very well conceived Windows 7 Theme. Above the average for sure. I wonder if it was put up by someone actually Irish, certainly hope so and if not, lets pretend it was to make it feel even more authentic.
Some websites and blogs offer intentionally only cut-up feeds in order to make to you click to their sites and make you leave the confines of your favorite feed reader. A practice I personally dislike and disagree as you can easily check from Appatic’s own feed. For that reason I want to offer all of you that happen to agree with me a way to convert cut-up/truncated/limited feeds into full feeds.
Full Text RSS Feed Builder is a free online service that does exactly what its self-explanatory name implies. It allows you to input any cut-up/limited/truncated feed that only offers a little part of a blog post instead of the full content, and convert into a Full Text RSS Feed.
Once you have converted your truncated/limited/cut-up feed, you get a instant preview of how your converted feed will read along with the link for it. Fast & Easy.
This is not the first time I tell you about a service like this, before I had posted about WizardRSS and FullFeeds. But Full Text RSS Feed Builder just seems a better option right now. WizardRSS was recently updated but not upgraded. And FullFeeds looks to be now down all the time, maybe even for good. For those reasons I thought that Full Text RSS Feed Builder was worth a post of its own since it resulted better and multiples choices are always good even if for the same kind of services. Check it as it well worth a bookmark if you are a feed reader user.
Previously, FilesBoox was a File Search Engine based on FilesPump. But looks like it faced either some pressure or a change of heart and now the service has reinvented itself by jumping in the mirror, while at the same time conserving its name and domain.
FilesBoox is a quick file sharing and hosting online service. With it you can share any kind of file of any size for quick online delivery. There is no leaderboard of recently shared files or anything like that, so you can either share the file publicly or privately. It is at your own discretion.
Just load the site and you will see a Browse Files button. Click it and a Windows Explorer dialog will pop up, select the file you want to share and then click Open.
After you click Open, you will instantly see a upload progress bar that will show you the name of the file you are sharing, its data weight and the % uploaded. If you need to cancel, just click the red x button to abort the upload.
Once your file has finished uploading, a window frame will appear showing the Direct Download Link for the file you have just share along with a HTML and Forum code with that link for quick copy-pasting use. Finally, it will also show you a remove link in case you need or want to have the file erased. Now you got what you need to share your file.
FilesBoox makes for a good uncomplicated online file sharer and temporary file host.
Given the ease of use and size of the usable site. FilesBoox also makes for a good candidate to be used as a SSB app, if you want to consider that option, I recommend you to use Bubbles for that end.
It was back in 2009 with the release of IE8 that Microsoft first started to publicly declare the need for the world of letting go of IE6. From then to now things have only got more and more direct and since last week, the breaking point has finally been reached. Now Microsoft is not just saying it and supporting others declarations for the phase out of IE6. They have decided to put up a site for that goal, and that goal only.
TheIE6CountDown.com is a educational and promotional site that calls for the phase out of IE6 educating with the numbers of the current IE6 usage around the world and the basic info on why not use IE6. It is also a promotional vehicle for the close to be released IE9 in the case of Vista and 7 users or as a Microsoft sanctioned upgrade path to IE8 for those still using XP as their main Windows OS installation.
As of Feb 2011, approximately 12% of the connected world is still using IE6 as the main browser. The goal of Microsoft is to make that 12% a 1% as soon as possible. Something not as hard to do when it comes to common users, meaning those not accessing the internet from workstation. From the detailed stats screenshot below combined with the profiled one above, It is clear that the average percentage of IE6 usage around the world if not counting China, South Korea and India (the top 3 countries using IE6) is already at 5-6%. So the goal of only a 1% of usage is reachable from that perspective, even if I see 3% on average as the most realistic figure for 2011. But counting everyone in, then I would put the reachable target for 2011 at 9% and maybe maybe 7% if things go extremely well.
With all this said, it will be a good thing if you want to collaborate and check out on the site to know how you can accelerate the IE6 phase out.
Ok, this one is pretty much only for those that either got a little kid (7yrs old or less) or happen to like and hunt for WPF based (.NET fans) apps. In my case I got a little nephew constantly around and I do like to hunt for .NET based apps, so since I had both reasons, I decided to post about this little App.
FlashCards.Show is a ClickOnce enabled, WPF based educational kids game app focused in flashcard styled games designed by IdentityMine. Made for Microsoft to be used as a fleshed out illustrative example of a App that went from being a WPF desktop app to a Silverlight based one for WP7 and how the same app can be faithfully transitioned to different mediums. But since it was so fleshed out, I decided that it should not just be used by those doing tech demos at Microsoft, but by anyone that would want it.
FlashCards.Show comes with 3 different Card Deck classes: Alphabet, Animals and Flowers. In turn each Card Deck class got 3 different kinds of game: Leaning, Matching and Memory.
The learning games will show a card a time and if clicked, the card will turn showing the name of what the card is showing. Plus to that it will also show a play button with the audio of the correct pronunciation of the name of what was shown by that card.
The matching games will show a wall of shown cards separated by demonstrative cards and name cards. Matching a demonstrative card to the name card will make both disappear and that will be marked as a correct match.
The memory games will show a wall of unshown cards. Clicking or touching one card will show either a demonstrative or name card for 5 seconds and will turn around if left untouched or if a match is not made with another card. A memory match should then consist of a demonstrative card and a name card. If the match is made, both cards will disappear and that will be considered a correct match.
A simple, well designed and free educational game app for kids easy to enjoy. Only drawback about it is that you truly wish it had a lot more card decks and more games. But given the price and the easy 3 clicks install, there is really no much to complain about. App works in XP, Vista and 7. | 2019-04-20T18:17:58Z | http://www.appatic.com/2011/03/ |
Please tell the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society that elephants do NOT belong in captivity and it is time to send their elephants to a sanctuary.
The Bronx Zoo currently houses three elephants: Patty, Maxine and Happy. However, you only see two elephants on display. Where's the third?
Driven mad by their captivity, Patty and Maxine killed Grumpy, a male companion to Happy, one of the Bronx Zoo's best held secrets. Grumpy was the same age as Happy and captured the same year as she, meaning he was probably a brother, cousin or other close relative (Brad Hamilton, New York Post). They were constant companions throughout their zoo-hopping lives before landing at the Bronx Zoo in 1977. After Grumpy's untimely death as a result of attacks from Patty and Maxine, Happy was removed from the exhibit and put in solitary in 2002.
Happy is one of the world's most famous elephants for proving elephants have self-awareness. After being captured from the wilds of Thailand, she has spent the last 37 of her 43 years in the cramped Bronx Zoo, with inadequate room to roam and inadequate companionship.
The Detroit Zoo, praised by animal advocates, scientists and behaviorists alike, has retired elephants once housed at their zoo to a sanctuary and now have better attendance in their zoo than ever. The Bronx Zoo has announced it would close its elephant exhibit after the remaining three elephants have died, but it cannot come soon enough for these very social creatures.
Tell the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society that it is time to honor their commitment to animal welfare and close their elephant exhibit, sending Patty, Maxine, and Happy to a sanctuary. | 2019-04-20T23:00:55Z | http://www.humanelongisland.org/bronxthree |

If you haven’t heard, Microsoft recently added Office 365 Planner to their application suite. Rolled out worldwide, anyone under Enterprise E1-E5, Business Essentials, Premium and Education subscription plans should now have access to Planner. Designed as an easy-to-use tool for teams to collaborate and organize teamwork, the Trello-like application is useful for teams of all sizes in businesses and schools. Given that many of you are new to Planner, we thought we’d throw together a few of our favorite tips so you can begin using the tool pronto!
To launch the team planning tool, login to your Office 365 account, navigate to the tile button at the top left hand of the page and select “Planner”.
Assuming this is the first time you have launched planner, you will likely navigate to a “plan-less” page. If you have already been added to a few plans in your organization, your Planner Hub will look more like what you see below. Take a few moments to click-around and then read-on to learn about the 4 best practices for Office 365 Planner.
Once you have created your first Plan (top left pane: + New Plan), begin by creating sub-categories that will bucket the various tasks in your team project. For our Blogs and Webinars Plan, we found it made the most sense to create buckets around overarching content topics which you can note below. Speak with your team members to create a set of buckets that make most sense to your project and the workflow of your teammates.
As you can see above we’re a bit behind the eight ball as there are a few tasks that are missing owners. It is important to always assign a task owner so that activities don’t fly under the radar. In addition, when setting a start date, end date and status to the task, you can be assured that the task owner will be aware when a task is overdue.
For example, in the first task under the “Planner” bucket above, you will notice that “Office 365 Planner Best Practices” has the due date highlighted in red indicating that the task is overdue!
As your Plan become more and more populated, you will find it helpful to begin using labels to quickly identify certain tasks. Just like the logic you created for your buckets, you’ll also want to create rules for how your team uses labels. Common practice is to color code your labels for either different task owners, task priorities or task types. We use a combination of task priorities and task types which you can see below.
The final best practice we recommend is making use of the attachment feature within each task. You can attach both files uploaded from your desktop or OneDrive, and URL links. We recommend this for a few reasons. For one, it keeps your documents organized and ensures you’ll be able to access them from the cloud anytime, anywhere and from any device. It will also help your team members quickly locate content they need for the project.
For example, if you note the final item in the checklist below, it reads: send blog to Kristina for edits. Rather than uploading the document to an email and letting her know it is ready to be edited, I can simply re-assign the task to Kristina. This will automatically send her an email with a link to the task where she will find the document.
For a live walk-through of Planner and additional best practices, watch a live demo presented by Office 365 Planner Expert, Kristina Mamina. | 2019-04-22T03:13:18Z | https://www.bonzai-intranet.com/insights/blog/office-365-planner-best-practices/ |

Hey gang! I just spent a bit of time in London and am now thinking about moving there. I’m kidding. Kind of. I mean it was fun, urban, safe—except for me never knowing which way to look for oncoming traffic—and we had an amazing time. Loved it. LOVED IT.
I checked a few sites to find out what was great and gluten-free and I also found some places on my own that worked. Because, as we know, sometimes you find yourself in a location that is nowhere near the best reviewed gluten-free fish and chips shoppe, and you’ve just got to make it work. It was not that hard, ya’ll.
My most favorite thing about gluten-free dining in London was how educated the staff were (in 99% of the places I dined) and clear on cross-contact. One rainy night we found ourselves at a local pub where it appeared the gf options were limited. They were, and became even more so when the waitress cancelled my order because the chef had accidentally put something in the dedicated fryer that had gluten on it. ACCIDENTALLY PUT SOMETHING IN THE DEDICATED GLUTEN-FREE FRYER. Have you ever had someone admit there was a mistake in the kitchen? And then say, “You can’t have this. It’s not safe.”? I have not, and even though I was sad about what I was left with, I was super relieved to never get sick the entire time I was in the UK. That makes for a pretty great vacation, you guys.
I feel like I don’t even need to write this. Just go to London and be all, “Where’s the g-free at?” Everyone will wander out to offer you fish and chips and muffins. Like this spinach one, from an adorable cafe called Ripe Kitchen close to where I was staying.
That was a good muffin, ya’ll. And a great flat white. They had a few other options as well, but a load of gluten’y pastries for those traveling with you.
We spent Christmas in London, which was delightful. Even more delightful was this Christmas lunch at the Thomas Cubitt. I contacted them when I made the reservation for the prix-fixe Christmas luncheon and asked about gluten-free options. They had a special gluten-free menu for me when I arrived, but many of the options were naturally gluten-free like that delicious turkey au jus, pumpkin soup with pesto and pomegranate sorbet with a il’ ol vodka shot. I KNOW. Amazing.
Again, when I made the reservation I asked about gluten-free options and they had a replacement FOR EVERYTHING. You guys. I love London.
This is one of those examples where we were out somewhere (Harrod’s) and half of us had eaten breakfast and the other half hadn’t, and I just was like, “What’s gluten-free?” It was this creme caramel and I loved everything about it except the raisins. Ewww, raisins. That terrace, tho.
With a bazillion cereal options at this all cereal restaurant, you’re going to find your gluten-free options as well. They also have a variety of non-dairy milks, so everyone can find something super delicious and sickeningly sweet. It’s a dessert place, which reinforced what I’ve been telling my kids for years: “Cereal is not a healthy breakfast.” Nope, not even that one. Still, FUN.
Many members of my family (okay, there are 4 of us and 2 said this) gave Thai Square the “best restaurant in London” award. It was amazing, and the menu was clearly marked with gluten-free options. Which was fantastic, as the server did not know a lot of English, and it was much easier to avoid making a mistake when ordering when you could read it in front of your face.
I don’t know why I thought I would find more gluten-free fish and chip options in London, but I thought they’d be throwing them at me when I landed at Heathrow. Still, hunting down the best meant I was super stoked once I sat down and ordered at Hobson’s. Their fries (chips) are always gluten-free, and they have their own batter to make your fish nice and crispy and safe. It was soooo gooooood.
My most favorite meal in London was so nice I had it twice. Or some version of it, twice. We had Indian takeaway one hungry night from Namaaste in Camden, and all of us declared it to be the best Indian food we’d ever eaten. So we booked our New Year’s Eve dinner at the restaurant and wow, still the best. So much is naturally gluten-free, and they understood pitfalls as well. I’m still thinking about the coriander and lime chicken tikka, dal, and the tikka masala both chicken and lasooni paneer. Oh. My. Gerd.
A lot of you fine people recommended the gluten-free ramen at Wagamama, and that’s why I’d totally go back even though my noddles were not quite cooked. The flavor was fab, and again, on a cold rainy day ramen is the shizzle. I also just read this chain has opened in NYC and Boston. Anyone checked out those locations? I do love some ramen, even better if it allows me to eat it without pooping my pants.
I missed a lot, I know. Which means I have to go back to the UK, ASAP, and eat everything else.

Great post. I haven’t been to London in almost 20 years (besides the airport). I need to go back!
I think during our 10 days in London we ate at Wagamama 3 times! Loved that place.
Wonderful, and I’m so glad you all had a great time and you never got sick. We had a similar experience in Dublin. I never got sick there, either. Yay!
To put on your List of places to eat. The Mayfair Chippy for Fish and Chips!
The Grosvenor House for High Tea!! Always Safe!!
I cannot wait to come back. I really loved London and would love to explore more of the UK, and eat all of this. Thank you! | 2019-04-20T16:54:26Z | https://glutenismybitch.com/2018/01/22/gluten-free-london-is-my-favorite/ |

Rosie has grown up and has been a great help during harvest week at the vineyard. Actually she did very little except catch grasshoppers and sit on the nets!
The harvest this year was excellent.
The grapes enjoyed the hot dry summer with very few problems with either disease or pests. Of course our biggest challenge will always be the birds. Each year Greg comes up with a new way to keep the birds off. This year’s effort was a combination of nets, tented and secured with sand bags made from recycled feed bags, flying falcons, twirling reflectors and my added noise deterrent – 2 metal dog bowls banged together at annoyingly regular intervals morning and evening.
Needless to say, February is not my favourite month.
The wine is now in our new tanks and with the help of Michelle Crockett, winemaker and recent local resident to the area, we look forward to a decent vintage.
In other news, we are updating our accommodation this year and hope to have this completed by September or October.
We also had to say goodbye to Sausage and Hamburger, our cows. Don’t worry, they have gone to better pastures and hopefully will have the opportunity to have lovely babies and a long life.
We now have 3 beehives and our son has been busy harvesting honey last week. This is the 4th extraction of honey and each batch produces unique flavour. The predominate flowers this time, Woollybutt and Blackwood. The honey is cold extracted the old fashioned way with a centrifugal force tank and then strained to remove any wax particles. We bottle into 1kg jars because anything smaller is just not enough!
We plan to slowly build up the number of hives and hope to make Mead in the future.
With more time to experiment with produce and materials on the property I have been able to add some homemade products for sale at the cellar door. Pruning time in the vines has just become a bit more enjoyable finding vines to weave into wreaths. Add some twinkly lights and all that hard work actually produces something quite pretty.
Thanks for catching up with our news and I look forward to adding more news throughout the coming year. | 2019-04-20T09:03:42Z | http://lyrebirdridgewinery.com.au/march-2018 |
As the online poker video game continues to create a certain effect to the individuals, the production of personalized poker chips also grow. These days, several companies have been offering personalized poker chips to those who are poker enthusiasts, for the casino, and others. With this introduction to the world of individualized poker poker chips, lots of people were urged to have their personalized poker chips, but most of them still question where to find those chips.
So for those who are still looking for personalized poker poker chips, here are some of the recommendations that would be best to suit your needs. They are a number of the sites which entertained personalized poker chips and provided some of those to the people. But before anything else, why don’t we negotiate the truth that personalized poker poker chips are poker chips which are molded for or directed or adjusted to a particular individual. And this definition will be maintained here.
One of the highly recommended websites for personalized poker chips is the WineEnthusiast. com. Bearing the name “Wine Enthusiast” may somehow make us question the reason why they offered personalized poker chips. But remember that questioning such possibility may occasionally become a fallacy. Therefore, in this certain site for personalized poker poker chips, they provide “monogrammed” online poker chips with case for the interest of the holdem poker players.
They offered such product perfect for those just entering into the game in addition to experienced players. It is noted that their own personalized online poker chips is a perfect set-up for craps, roulette, black jack, online poker and all other games of chance. For particular mention, their own personalized poker chips include 10 white, 50 red, and 50 black personalized poker poker chips, all are placed into a brass-locked black vinyl carrying case which can also accommodate cards for about two decks.
Another notable website for personalized poker poker chips is the Ebay. com. Their own offered a truly personalized holdem poker chips which is consist of 500 chips in one set. These personalized poker chips are made for real custom imprinted poker poker chips. Because this is one of the best sites for personalized poker chips, they give the customers the chance to choose for the color of the chip border, text around the chip, denomination of the chip, and the image of the chip.
In addition to that, they maintained that every online poker chip weighs between 0 to 12 grams with approximately 39mm. Their poker personalized poker chips are molded of a amalgamated plastic material, and has a somewhat textured surface area. And if you want to have personalized poker chips that the outside can’t be published, then this website is better for you because these people offered poker chips in which the outside edge of the chip if a cream color, and definitely cannot be printed.
Lastly, the FantasyToyLand. com is actually another recommended site for personalized poker poker chips wherein they offered a colorful set of casino poker chips highlighting dice designs with squares across the chips. Each and every chip weighs 11. 5 grams which is heavier than the conventional chips. The set of their personalized online poker chips comes with 100 available poker chips in 6 colors. As such, their personalized poker poker chips can really be personalized with Gold Hot Stamp letters. Such is an excellent set for any poker game. | 2019-04-26T02:03:07Z | http://golcalnet.com/poker/personalized-poker-poker-chips/ |

Possey Power: Did you Just wake UP?
Last night i went to bed at 1 am, the two nights before i went to bed at 2 am, the only problem with this is that i have to get up every morning by at LEAST 7:50 am to make it to my 8 am morning classes. Well today i was definitely finding a hard time to roll onto my stomach and slide off my top bunk to the bottom mattress and slip onto the floor. . but I FINALLY managed. I kept on the shorts i slept in and threw on a sports bra and white t-shirt. After my first class i have an hour break, which i WAS going to go running during, cuz that's what us athletes do (plus i'm getting fat) . . but my eyes were SO tired, we agreed to nap before public speaking at 10!!! Well Breanne knocked on my door to go to class and immediately started her durogatory commentary on my outfit.
I understand that i don't ALWAYS believe in matching my clothes. I don't always want to look impressive or adorable. . because A. I looke that way in sweats w/o trying. and B. i don't care what people thinK!!!! . . but APpaRentLY my half yellow half pink Volcom striped board shorts, with my still white basketball shirt and my white and silver champion flip flops were just too much. . So we walk into the building where public speaking is and breanne points out her dismay at my outfit to some of our teammates, softball girls and hawaiins. lol . . they seemed confused, but not as haterade-ish as breanne. .
So after class i have to go meet with my counselor to see if SVU is accredited school. . lol i wait for like 15 minutes, (course i got there 10 minutes early) so this hawaiin lady named Gina walks out and calls my name. I stand up and look at her and she goes, "did you just wake up?" . . lol ah geez, EVERYBODY has got jokes today! lol . . i go "Nope, i been up since 8!". . . she's quick to recover you barely see her face flinch and she recovers with same lame comment about, "oh, that's so great you have that look of being well rested." . . Ha, yeah thanks lady!
Now I'm curious what Hunter would have said to you because he was a little embarrassed when we just walked into lowes because I have shorts and a t-shirt on that have paint on them... his comment "mom you sure you don't need to change first!".. At least my hair is done... you on the other hand.. look like you JUST got out of bed! | 2019-04-22T16:44:48Z | http://posseypower.blogspot.com/2010/04/did-you-just-wake-up.html |

Every time SINGER releases a new sewing machine into the market, you can expect that it will have some feature that will wow the potential buyer. The same goes for the award winning SINGER 7258, which was designed as a slightly more complex edition of the SINGER 7256. These are nothing like the sewing machines of old, which were noisy, slow and tedious to use. SINGER is now creating technological marvels that no longer waste time and offer the maximum possible productivity to their users. This all becomes clear when we take a closer look at the SINGER 7258’s features.
As you can see the SINGER 7258 includes everything the passionate seamstress/tailor needs, making it perfect for all kinds of projects. Aside from the features, the SINGER 7258 also offers plenty of benefits to its user.
Even for someone who hasn’t worked with older sewing machines, it isn’t hard to appreciate how amazing the design of the SINGER 7258 truly is. After all the 163 year experience of the SINGER company has made them experts when it comes to helping people who like sewing.
The LCD screen of the SINGER 7258 is certainly one of its most handy features. This little screen displays plenty of information, which would have been too hard to program without. When trying to choose one of the 100 different stitches, for instance, the button next to the screen needs to be pressed and the LCD screen will shows you which stitch you have selected.

President Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, William Barr, has said he will allow Special Counsel Robert Mueller to finish the investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said on Wednesday.
Graham told reporters Barr assured him the investigation would continue. "I can assure you he has a very high opinion of Mr Mueller and he is committed to letting Mr Mueller finish his job," Graham said.

This IDC Market Note provides an update on forecasts for the hardcopy market in Western Europe.
"Consolidation will be a main theme running through the hardcopy market over the forecast period. The market is declining and there are effectively too many brands chasing fewer sales, so it is inevitable that some of these brands will be acquired or merge over the forecast period. This has been the nature of the hardcopy industry for several years now; this trend will continue and affect small and large brands. This trend will also be seen in the associated print and document management software markets and channel players as a result," said Phil Sargeant, program director, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions. | 2019-04-18T11:43:31Z | https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=EMEA43107118 |
The Brisbane Airport is a passenger airport that serves the area of Brisbane. It is recognized as one of the busiest airports in the country and is the primary hub for Jetstar Airways, Qantas, Virgin Blue and Pacific Blue. There are two passenger terminals; a domestic terminal and an international terminal.
Access to the airport can be made via car, railway or inter-terminal bus. The Brisbane Airport is situated 17 kilometres from the Central Business District and offers four car-parks that operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Multi-level and undercover car-parks are provided for those participating in international flights. Long term services are provided for domestic flight travellers.
Passenger services at the Brisbane Airport include car rental stations, hotel and motel booking boards, shops and boutiques and a large number of restaurants. Food courts are scattered throughout the airport and provide anything from coffee and bagels to full seafood dinners. Souvenir shops with duty free staples are available to visitors and help pass the time between flights and boarding.
First class lounges are available in the international terminal. The Emirates Airline first class lounge is the first of its kind outside of Dubai. Baggage operations are located on the first floor.
Car parks at the airport are expensive and many people choose to park in one of the many off airport car parks that provide a fast pick up and drop off service.
The Brisbane Airtrain connects the domestic and international airport terminals, plus it runs to Brisbane City and suburban stations, continuing down to the Gold Coast. Services run every 30 minutes from approximately 5am in the morning until 8pm, every day. The journey between the airport and Central Station takes about 20 minutes. The go card works on the Airtrain and a useful bonus is that kids travel free.
There is a free bus between the Brisbane international airport and the DFO that runs every 20 minutes between 6.30am and 6.30pm. | 2019-04-22T20:58:55Z | http://www.eguidetravel.com/articles/brisbane-international-airport/ |
Mir Quasem Ali was hanged after being convicted for offences committed during 1971 war with Pakistan.
Mir Quasem Ali, a key leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was hanged on Saturday after being convicted by a controversial war crimes tribunal of offences committed during the 1971 independence conflict with Pakistan.
"The execution took place at 10:35pm (16:35 GMT)," said Anisul Huq, the country's law and justice minister.
Ali had been imprisoned in the Kashimpur high security jail in Gazipur, some 40km north of the capital Dhaka.
Russel Sheikh, a senior Gazipur police official, told the AFP news agency that officials took "highest security measures" ahead of the execution for fear of violence by his supporters.
"More than 1,000 police have been deployed in the district," Sheikh said.
Talha Ahmad, a commentator and lawyer on Bangladeshi affairs, told Al Jazeera that Ali was different from other Jamaat leaders.
"He was a celebrated philanthropist, a very successful businessman and somebody who has done a tremendous amount of work to create free media and with vulnerable people, especially refugees," Ahmad said.
"He was one of the rare breed of Jamaat politicians who was able to reach out to the wider society. It seems government goes after anybody who is capable of mounting an intellectual and practical challenge to the them. The government has become so authoritarian recently that it doesn't allow any opposition activism at all, whether it is Jamaat or any other party."
The Supreme Court's decision to reject Ali's appeal was a major blow for the Jamaat-e-Islami party, which the 63-year-old tycoon had helped to revive in recent decades.
Five opposition leaders have been executed for war crimes since 2013. Ali was the last prominent leader of Jamaat to face execution.
The war crimes tribunal set up by the government has divided the country, with supporters of Jamaat and the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party branding it a sham aimed at eliminating their leaders.
Ali was convicted in November 2014 of a series of crimes during Bangladesh's war of separation from Pakistan, including the abduction and murder of a young independence fighter.
His son, Mir Ahmed Bin Quasem, who was part of his legal defence team, was allegedly abducted by security forces earlier in August, which critics say was an attempt to sow fear and prevent protests against the execution. | 2019-04-24T14:14:27Z | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/09/bangladesh-executes-prominent-jamaat-leader-160903135231345.html |

We provided a Merlin Medieval tent for an event at Warwick Castle this week. The Camping & Caravanning Club were running an event ‘New To Camping’ which featured a range of equipment manufacturers displaying equipment and talks from their president David Bellamy.
It was a lovely summer day and ideal for being in the great outdoors. Warwick Castle has some marvellous exhibits, I particularly liked the ‘Kingmaker’ tour of rooms recreating life in the castle on the eve of a battle in the 14th Century , it was very evocative. Warwick Castle have many authentic tents manufactured by the same company that made our Medieval Pavilion tents. These tents are dotted around the site and are used to add colour, create the scene and used as concession stands. | 2019-04-22T14:12:21Z | http://www.overthemoontents.com/medieval-tent-warwick-castle/ |

Love this program, but V2 doesnt save settings, gone back to V1.4 which does.
Latest version of Pazera supports audio extraction of WebM videos. So you can decode and grab the original OGG Vorbis stream with Pazera. Woohoo!
FYI, if you're extracting the WebM version of a YouTube video, the audio source is lesser quality than grabbing the highest-quality MP4 file by about 20kbps (at least from my initial testing).
YouTube converts the audio so if you are converting YouTube's video to MP3, what you're really doing is decoding and re-encoding the audio twice. (Three times if the original source wasn't lossless).
It helps if you download the most high bitrate of the video (720p or higher). 360p-480p vids use roughly 96kbps VBR; 720p-1080p uses 192kbps VBR.
If I extract an mp4 with aac audio that I downloaded from youtube and in the program I choose mp3 rather than "extract original audio stream"(which would be aac), am I losing any quality?
I assume the original audio was also mp3 and youtube converted it to aac. Does the youtube conversion hurt the quality as well?
I was only using this app to extract music from downloaded YouTube videos, until I discovered another use for it: It flawlessly corrected all the MP3s in my collection that had incorrect duration info. Those files had been extracted several years ago with a faulty Windows Mobile app on my PDA. Some of them indicated as much as an hour in length, when in fact the songs were often no longer than 4 minutes; they all showed transfer rates of only 8 kb/s! The songs played OK, but the seek bar in my player was useless on them. I was able to correct this by batch converting all of them in the Pazera extractor (.mp3 to .mp3), without a single glitsch. Bravo, Pazera Software!
jack: thanks for changing your site to not use download.com.
as Kermode noted above, you cannot download a zip file. If you follow the links correctly, you must download cnet2_Pazera_Free_Audio_Extractor_zip.exe. When you "run" this file, you are sent back to cnet's download.com. As you proceed, you are asked to allow Incredimail to be installed. You have to uncheck this option. but when you click "next step" the .zip file is downloaded automatically to your "../mydocuments/downloads folder - NOT the folder from which you ran the .exe file.
This is very objectionable and unlike what I am used to at portablefreeware.com.
I assume something has changed since this software was posted on 23 august 2011. As I recall, I downloaded the .zip file. I am making this comment because I was writing instructions for downloading for a friend of mind.
Please alter the instructions within the description of this product to reflect what to expect.
You can't download a zip - you get redirected to cnet which only offers an exe file.
I've used this one for a while to take small pieces of files and make them into ringtones, and it's great for that sort of thing. | 2019-04-25T02:59:19Z | http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2049 |

About 200 civilians in Kachin State’s Hpakant Township have reportedly been displaced by fresh clashes between the Burma Army and Kachin rebels in recent days.
RANGOON — About 200 Kachin civilians in Kachin State’s Hpakant Township have been newly displaced by clashes between the Burma Army and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in recent days, according to local leaders and Kachin rebel sources, who said that the fighting erupted after government forces entered a rebel-controlled ruby mining area.
Hla San, a National League for Democracy (NLD) member based in Hpakant town, said he visited the civilians who fled Sai Para village and were provided refuge in two churches in another village located east of Hpakant.
“They have been taking care of by our religious leaders. One church has about 80 people and another church has over 100 people. They ran away from their homes as they were afraid of the fighting,” he said, adding that he and other Kachin leaders from Hpakant delivered food aid to the displaced villagers on Tuesday.
Daung Khar, a member of the technical consultancy team of the Kachin Independence Organization, the political wing of the KIA, said the rebels had clashed with the Burma Army last Friday and Sunday at Sabaw Maw, a ruby mine controlled by the KIA.
“According to the news we received, the government troops entered our area of control. This is why our troops shoot at them,” he said, adding that he lacked further details of the fighting.
The Kachin News Group reported that four Burmese soldiers were killed during the violence and that government troops seized a KIA base next to the ruby mine and burned it down.
The KIA has been fighting an insurgency against the Burma Army since mid-2011 when a 17-year-old ceasefire broke down. Since then, some 120,000 civilians in Kachin and northern Shan states have been displaced.
Hostilities quieted down in February 2013, but skirmishes have continued as a bilateral ceasefire between the sides has proven elusive. In recent months, fighting in northern Burma has intensified and several thousand local civilians have been newly displaced.
Fighting has also spread to northern Shan State as government troops have increasingly fought with the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), an ally of the KIA that also lacks a ceasefire with Naypyidaw. | 2019-04-24T12:51:21Z | https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/200-kachin-civilians-flee-fighting-near-hpakant.html |
On the 31st July 2016, Tony Hollick participated and completed The London Surrey 100 mile cycle ride for Macmillan Cancer Support. It was a grueling ride with 6% gradient hills, but Tony was not going to let them get the better of him. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the family of the poor man who died and to the person so badly injured he was airlifted to hospital.
Tony completed the 100 miles in a terrific and quick time of 6.5 hours.
Macmillan Cancer Support holds a very personal place in both Tony’s and Createvent’s hearts. Tony was thrilled to be able to give back to such a wonderful charity.
Congratulations Tony for taking part and completing such an arduous challenge. | 2019-04-25T16:52:49Z | https://www.createvents.co.uk/news/tony-hollick-macmillan-cancer-support/ |
Just yesterday, I had attended a casual meetup session with our program director, Dr Mike Molesworth to gain a little more insight to the degree. Majority of the time spent during the session was about internship and I had been guilty of not putting much effort in sourcing for a company as of yet.
Anyways, back to the topic: Students should acknowledge that internship is vital for their personal development.
Allowances – Some students were paid as low as 450$ per month. Much lesser than my army allowance as an admin support assistant.
The Slavery Perception – We all experienced it before, tasked to complete the most insignificant jobs out there which serves no purpose to what we really want to learn.
Module Credits – It’s equivalent to 6 module credits and if we were graded badly, it would affect our GPA so badly.
For interns, sometimes we might tasked to complete the most insignificant jobs to offload our supervisor’s pressure getting paid with peanuts with the constant pressure of unable to achieve better grades.
Been there, done that and from a diploma holder perspective, the concerns were really insignificant as compared to what I had experienced. It had offered me a platform to test-drive my skills and contribute to the organization. I had a clearer picture of assessing questions pertaining to my interest in retail and my weaknesses under a sheltered work environment.
Tip of the day: It’s about your progression and development as an undergraduate. Be enthusiastic about it! It might be the most simplest task, but constantly ask yourself if there are room for improvements and contribute in every means possible that is. The management would always appreciate employees with a heart to learn and you would get much more in return.
Manpower – In a fast paced business process when time is crucial especially retail and manufacturing, well trained interns are a big help to schedule plannings and let us rest the full-time staffs.
Atmosphere – Having fresh blood and youth in the firm provides a much diverse work environment and higher energy level. I enjoyed the ideas imposed by them and sharing sessions of what was taught from school.
Employment – Future employment can be considered upon their graduation. Prior work experience under the firm makes things so much easier without the hassle of interviewing.
Tip of the day: Take into account of the individual’s learning as youths should be given a chance to be entrusted with important tasks. Make them feel integrated as part of the organisation despite being here only for the short term. Let’s not forget that by offering an experience of a lifetime for the interns, it would benefit the firm back through word of mouth and achieve enhanced reputation as well! It’s a representation of how we deal with Human Resource.
Yang Ying and Shahirul had just ended their 4 months tenure with us. 2 cultured and industrious individuals with a bright future ahead. All the best!
To end off this post, I would like to share an article in relation to the internship landscape currently in Singapore – Some are offered $10.000 a month, others are working for free?
In my opinion, i would define internship program as an important stepping stone for a job you wish to land in the near future and you are building your career concurrently.
Final Assignment: But this is clearly not the end!
I couldn’t agree further that the beauty of #MANG2049 is the freedom to conduct collaborate learning. This is evident from our video as it was created from the effort and skills of individuals with various viewpoints and unique backgrounds.
From Topic 4, I had learnt that content marketing is a huge market to tap on and by having first-hand experience on posting my own video online on YouTube, it creates a platform for me to showcase more of the online identity which I wish to portray. As a marketer, it is vital to be creative!
Moving on, I would wish to explore other software such as Sony Vegas and Prezi as it helps to present a more creative side of me to tackle future modules and blogging opportunities. #MANG2049 had encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and craft interesting online contents.
The interactions between the UK students made me realize the importance of social networking to enhance my digital presence through Blogging and Twitter.
In future, I would continue to take the initiative to communicate with content owners on websites such as Forbes and Inc to build connection with other internet users. They might be interested in my contents such as entrepreneurship, marketing and lifestyle.
Facebook was a platform for me to connect with people. However, by leaving my contents online backdated 6 years ago, there is a risk that others might stumble upon contents that isn’t a representative of my current identity. My account is now strictly to connect with friends, acquaintances and interest groups after cleaning up inappropriate contents.
It was merely impossible to scan through the vast amount of tweets and my account is now used as a tool to connect with people for learning purposes and social networking.
Also, as mentioned from my video, I am actively following accounts such as DDB and Nielsen to understand more about their culture and contents to stand a better chance for my upcoming internship interviews. Accounts such as CMi, DMWF updates marketing contents they had posted online and by constantly sharing what I find relevant and useful is another form of learning.
Plans for the future: As my twitter was “reset”, I would follow more accounts relevant in the area of my interest and hopefully, gain followers whom are interested in my contents to build a stronger online identity.
Despite deeming LinkedIn as rather irrelevant, it is still good to showcase my credentials online. I might be able to source for individuals with certain expertise to work on certain projects based on my connections. I had listed down that I am looking for an internship opportunity as well.
Plans for the future: To join groups on LinkedIn and be part of communities related to my particular interest in areas such as Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurship to partake in the various discussions upon acceptance.
I had purchase a domain name for Etools Technology and my personal blog. As a traditional B2B firm, Etools is lacking in the area of digital presence and it would be an excellent platform to tap on!
My future plans for the firm would be working with external parties to get a corporate website set up to gain more exposures online from search engines. Hopefully, I would be able to run the website well based on what I had learnt so far.
Successfully registered a domain name on http://www.godaddy.com for Etools Technology.
I would continue to blog about “anything under the sun” in my personal blog and besides being more presentable and gaining exposures, I would consider customizing my email accordingly to my domain name to be achieve a more professional identity in the future. It would bring a form of standardization across my online profile.
Google App allows me to customize my email according to my domain name at a fee of $5 a month. A great investment upon graduation perhaps?
Upon further research in the area of Open Education Resources, I had amended my stand to say that we should not overlook on the various disadvantages which open access might bring.
First of all, to elaborate on the advantages of OER from Yi Lin’s post, we had common grounds in agreeing that every individual deserves an equal chance to learn irregardless of differing demographics such as race, family income level or age. Based on my research on educational attainment, it draws my attention that even for a first world country like America, not everyone is privileged enough to afford college or a degree of their interest. OER provide substantial cost savings to students without negatively impacting their learning (Hilton & Wiley, 2011; Allen, 2010). Cheaper textbooks and material costs!
Furthermore, education institution stands to benefit as well! Linking back to my post about academic publishers moving towards oligopoly, through OER, education institution can afford to provide a higher quality of teaching for their students through a wider source and selection of research materials!
Moving onto the macro perspective. On the surface, OER seems to be an ideal solution to aid developing countries such as Africa and Afghanistan. Examples: Cheaper textbook costs and higher quality of teaching.
However, Easter mentioned that the proliferation of free online resources available would result in a drop in OER quality. This problem would be magnified as developing countries would have a harder time filtering and locating relevant materials which are truly effective. Not to forget, due to the lack of internet access in developing countries, it drives the fundamental question of whether are the ones whom are truly in need of education benefiting from OER?
Lastly, to what extent would transfer of learning truly takes place? As mentioned from Tonybates: you can’t just take content from one country and dump it into another and expect results. Perhaps educational institutions from developed countries may take distance learning into considerations and alter selected OER to ensure effectiveness of training in developing countries.
To a certain extent, would OER and widen the poverty gap of developing countries since only developed countries get to reap the most out of open access? This leaves me to ponder about my previous stand, the disadvantages of open access in the area of global education shouldn’t be overlooked.
Topic 5: What does the shift towards open access implies?
Newsflash: Just barely 2 weeks ago, Lingua, a prominent linguistics journal lost a total of 37 editorial employees via resignation due to a disagreement over changing their business model to be a fully open access publication with the journal’s publisher, Elsevier. This is due to increasing concerns of institutional libraries unable to afford escalating subscription fees, a worrying trend, which is a disadvantage of open access.
Academic publishers moving towards oligopoly in the digital era?
Due to the popularity of open access, mergers and acquisition in academic publisher industry had increased. Five largest publishing houses combined control 50% of the market in 2015. “The world of academic publishing has been consolidated into a limited number of tightly controlled channels” Peter Mcpherson (Nov 3, 2015).
Which is bad news for libraries and internet users like me as lesser competition would eventually lead to higher subscription costs for educational institution and more restrictions such as paywalls for consumers with the intention for them to increase their profit margins such as Elsevier. Harvard university raised concerns about these worrying trends.
In topic 4, I had mentioned about user generated contents, a major disadvantage for anyone making their contents or materials available free online would be being prone to undesired outcomes such as not being cited or being a victim of plagiarism. It is only ethical for us to give recognition for other’s work!
Open access would enhance the effectiveness of an individual’s informal learning process as there are more materials available at their disposal. It is definitely encouraged in businesses as it is a cost effective and efficient way of training employees. For example: Middle-aged employees whom wish to upgrade themselves besides training or part-time education grants offered by the firm, would be more inclined to research about particular topics to improve themselves.
This give every single individuals a chance to gain more knowledge about a topic. In the aspect of society, it gives every individuals belonging to any of the income bracket a chance to gain in-depth knowledge about a topic of their interest instead of being put off by access fees and paywalls. In America, grants are given out from the nation’s taxes for researches to be conducted and perhaps due to social reasons, it encouraged the White House to review and announce a new US open-access policy.
By making your content available online might perhaps be the start of your brand. Last month, I was invited to an alumni dinner and gained a little bit of insight to the concept of crowdfunding.
Alphonso managed to kick start his brand through the exposure gained from posting his product idea online. A total of $39,213 AUD was pledged to bring his project to life and that was the start to Natsu Wallet. Open access had allowed plenty of internet users with brilliant ideas to gather feedback and attract venture capitalist to invest in their ideas.
Dear readers, would you agree with me that the advantages of open access is too vital to be ignored today? Personally, I feel that the advantages of open access outweighs the negatives.
Review of Topic 4: Should we embrace firms using social media unethically?
For topic 4, I had touched on content marketing and UGC which revolve around creation, publishing and sharing contents in order to acquire and retain customers. Whereas competitive marketing reminds us on the importance of developing competitive insight and bringing it to our advantage.
Tian Yi’s blog highlighted the importance of competitive marketing leading to public bashing of competitors. We have certain similarities in our stand – Using social media to bash competitors isn’t entirely a bad thing! Coca and Cola and Pepsi are locked in fierce battles as direct competitors described sometimes as “Cola Wars”.
An example of integrating UGC into competitive marketing would be Pepsi creating a campaign urging customers to share reasons they prefer Pepsi MAX to Coke asking them to post it on social media such as Instagram and their mini-site offering prizes to the best entries. There might be questions to ethicality of the campaign but Pepsi had played their cards right as the consumer’s generated content based on their perception isn’t a representation of the company! No legal risks right there.
Spectrum of Direct/Indirect Competition for Pepsi.
Was it wrong of Pepsi to come up with a marketing campaign to create a better product image?
Emilia’s blog mentioned a framework for moral decision making. Utilitarian approach is about us choosing the action that will produce the greatest benefits and the least harm which raises certain questions in my head. It would be naïve for a business to be confined into choosing the least harm for their competitors! Competition must exist even as we move onto the digital era. But of course, as she mentioned, the study of ethical approach can be taken by a firm to ensure success of a digital marketing campaign.
Edging towards a macro perspective, my stand remains unchanged: Society should embrace firms using social media unethically as marketing strategies which involves the use of social media such as user generated contents and online bashing of competitors is a sign of competition which should be encouraged in the aspect of business.
Topic 4: Is it Ethical for Brands to incorporate user generated contents under their names?
Consumers can be content creators of today. GoPro’s content marketing strategies encourages and attract users to generate contents for them with a webpage to showcase the most captivating videos captured by their users. In return, they promise global exposure and monetary incentives for the best videos in competitions such as the annual GoPro awards.
As cultural theorist Henry Jenkins (2006) once cited that: ‘Audiences, empowered by new technologies, occupying a space at the intersection between old and new media, are demanding the right to participate within the culture’. From my perspective, that was the rise of social media and digital residents whom are also the sources of user generated contents today.
From a marketing point of view, user generated contents should never be ignored especially for B2C firms with strong branding presences. Instead of us creating content, why not actively encourage content creation, giving consumers a platform for communications and engagements just like Coach and Burberry?
UGC had changed the landscape for content marketing and it is the upcoming trend for majority of the B2C firms in the upcoming year of 2016. Content Marketing Institute’s 2015 Benchmark, Budgets and Trends reports that 48% of the B2B firms and 70% of B2C firms are currently or planning to engage in UGC within next year.
How and why are user generated contents effective? Here is an overview of the statistics.
Exploiting from the online community?
There are outcries from creative circles labeling UGC as “WFF” – Working For Free. Which is true to a certain extent, considering that crowdsourcing campaigns rewards the “top of the crops” and the winners are very likely to be individuals whom had experiences or exceptional talents in the relevant fields such as designing and photography. A growing concern for creators is how are they expected to make a living if their work are made available for free?
The time and effort spend by all the participants combined are not taken into considerations and organizations get to reap further benefits by storing participants’ work or ideas as valuable references or data to work on future projects. There are criticisms of media corporations exploiting amateur creators by committing them to relinquish the rights of their creations and taking commercial advantage of “user-generated content”.
However, I felt that the benefits of user generated contents outweighs the ethical issues highlighted above. For marketers, UGC may be utilized for a successful marketing campaign and brings forth several advantages such as cost effectiveness of a marketing strategy and enhancing brand loyalty for a firm.
For creative circles, despite potential ethical issues arising, these opportunities had also created a platform for them to gain visibility and to gauge if their works would attract attention! It also creates networking opportunities, gaining reputation through increased followers which might arguably be better for the long run especially for amateur designers or creators to build on their portfolio.
Dear readers, what are your views on this topic?
Review of topic 3: What does an authentic and professional online identity implies for politicians? Are all digital platform truly effective?
Upon reviewing Edward’s blog, I was really captivated by his style of blogging by drawing reader’s attention through his personal experiences as well as linking to the area of Singapore affairs. It reminded me of a news article with regards to a Singapore politician, Ms Tin Pei Ling. Ms Tin faced several criticisms for posting a selfie with her new Kate Spade Bag on FaceBook in year 2011. Majority deemed her image as non-professional and condemned her action through online petitions in an attempt to kick her out from the parliament!
Despite the Petition in 2011, she managed to make a comeback through social media once again by upholding a professional and matured image as a politician.
Edward‘s post had broadened my scope of research by understanding that there is an increased emphasis for influential figures such as politicians, educators and religion pastors to maintain an authentic and professional online identity simply by observing social trends or the news. Hence, a point which I had failed to mention for topic 3 earlier- be extremely caution of what you post! Technology advancements such as cloud data had made it impossible, something which I had learnt as a marketing student.
On the other hand, Siew Woon’s blog had moved into the area of questioning the effectiveness of digital platform these days. A very creative post through utilization of GIFs and various interaction medias, she had approached the topic from a very unique perspective. Just like every ‘tools’ in a garage, every digital platform has its strength and shortcomings in areas of recruitment.
For example: Blogging might had opened up potential spaces for you to ‘present’ more of yourself, but just like a double edged knife, the probability of you posting something negative increases and what are the chances of you really getting noticed by a chief executive of a big firm at the first place? Could it be that a certain mix of digital platforms create a better synergy such as the theory behind integrated marketing communications? An intriguing thought.
To end off my reflection, I would like to link back to my topic 2, where I had mentioned about authenticity previously. From a marketing point of view, anonymity and authenticity would result in positives outcomes and hence should be encouraged! On the contrary, from an entrepreneur and job recruiter’s perspective, it is a must to display an authenticity and professional online identity. | 2019-04-24T13:58:48Z | https://patrickword.com/2015/11/ |

Esther Williams, who has died aged 91, swam through some of Hollywood’s most elaborate musical spectacles in the 1940s and 1950s. A champion swimmer turned movie star, she had a magnificent, athletic figure and a smile that kept its natural brightness even as she emerged from Technicolor pools, fountains and firework displays.
Principals Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg will leave The Royal Ballet at the end of the 2012–13 season. They are leaving the company to pursue other other artistic challenges. | 2019-04-20T14:12:36Z | https://www.dancing-times.co.uk/2013/06/page/2/ |

Balsamic vinegar from Nemea grapes aged 3 years in French oak barrels with natural concentrated carob juice.
Chocolaty flavor in a rich and acidic body with a slight bitter undertone.
Acidity 6%. No sulfites added. No preservatives. No coloring. No added flavoring.
I had never tried carob balsamic before. This was the first bottle that I bought.
I have bought other products from this company all of which, have exceeded my expectations.
Carob has a slightly bitter aftertaste which means you have to like bitter to like this vinegar.
My wife loves it but I will switching back to good old grape balsamic again. | 2019-04-21T16:14:54Z | http://www.ariadnepure.com/shop/dressings/carob-balsamic-vinegar/ |
When redesigning your bathroom the extras and accessories can be just as important as the bath, shower or toilet and the wastes, specifically the Basin Wastes can make a real impact to the look of your vanity unit or basin. They’re available in square or round styles, push, click or flip top and some are still available with a good old fashioned plug! You can now easily create a brilliant seal between the waste and your basin which will stay watertight almost indefinitely.
I had to fit twice but that was just me not fitting the bottom seal properly. Apart from that a doddle to fit.
Don't you just love it? Push down push up. Far better than those operated by a lever near the tap.
This type of waste is quite old fashioned these days and is only usually found in bathrooms that haven’t been renovated. That being said some people do still prefer to be able to take the plug out as it will drain the water faster than any other type of basin waste.
A pop up basin waste is now the norm when it comes to bathroom basins. They work really easily with a simple press to open or close them. They don’t allow drainage quite as quickly as the standard plug wastes but they certainly look a lot more stylish!
Lastly flip top wastes are an ingenious design! They simply let you push down on one side of the plug hole, rotating the waste and allow water to drain from the basin. They’re very stylish and not very common meaning they’ll definitely impress any guests that you’ve got.
To ensure an easy and trouble-free installation we ensure that all of our basin wastes come complete with wash basin waste fittings. This guarantees you that any fittings included are compatible with the waste and because all of our wastes are a standard size you can have it fitted to your basin quicker. | 2019-04-25T22:58:48Z | https://www.plumbworld.co.uk/basin-wastes-19566-0000 |

Four generations of fans have heard his message and witnessed his results. He built a successful career, climbed to the top of his field, and has a loving family. It's what we all want.
And yet, Coach Bowden, who, as he puts it, is in the "fourth quarter" of his life, has a message for us all.

That is the wisdom he wants to share. Let him tell you why faith and happiness are inseparable.
No matter your life circumstance, The Wisdom of Faith shows you what really matters—from the perspective of a man who has made the journey.
