Eoin Morgan’s England need improvement against India in this week’s one-day international series after the tourists wrapped up the Vitality IT20s with a seven-wicket win in Bristol.
The hosts’ 198 for nine on Sunday was their third-highest Twenty20 international total on home soil.
But on an excellent pitch, and small playing area, it proved inadequate as Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten century eased India to a 2-1 series success after a third-wicket stand of 89 with his captain Virat Kohli.
Jason Roy (67) and Jos Buttler appeared to have put England on course to easily top 200 – but after their opening partnership of 94 in under eight overs, momentum was lost, and there was no grand finish either.
A manic conclusion to the innings in fact saw five wickets fall in 15 balls, albeit for 21 runs, as Hardik Pandya finished with a career-best four for 38.
Morgan said: “Those 20 or 30 runs we missed out on, in the back-end of our innings, cost us.
“We did a lot of things right today – particularly that platform set.
England have 3 players more than capable of doing what Jos does at the top of the order, but 0 capable of doing what he does from the middle to the end. That’s why in THIS team, I wouldn’t open with him.
“Jason and Jos were brilliant up front, and almost gave us a licence to allow ourselves to think about 220.
“But the execution of our shots didn’t really match up with getting to that total.
The tourists were therefore always favourites in the chase, and completed it with eight balls to spare.
The Irishman does not believe England have to play perfectly to beat India in white-ball cricket – just very, very well.
“I’d say close to,” he said. “I don’t think we have to play a completely perfect game every time (to beat them) – we proved that at Cardiff. But certainly today they had their day.
Morgan and acting coach Paul Farbrace had a difficult call to make before a ball was bowled, to accommodate the return of fit-again all-rounder Ben Stokes – and in the end it was Test captain Joe Root who was dropped.
Asked if the conversation with Root is among the toughest he has had as captain, Morgan said: “Yes. Dropping Joe is not an easy decision.
“Trying to win the game on this particular ground, it actually came down to Ben’s bowling option.

The application must be done online. Please go to the Graduate School's Application page to apply online.
Applications will be reviewed by the admissions committee of the IDPAS, and successful applicants will be considered for financial assistance through the award of a tuition scholarship and teaching assistantship (TA). The deadline for receipt of applications and all supporting materials for Fall admission is December 1 .
Currently, the IDPAS is unable to deliver a full curriculum in Socio-Cultural Anthropology. Thus, for the time being, the IDPAS will not accept any applications for the socio-cultural track. Students interested in Socio-Cultural Anthropology should apply to other programs.
For more information on Stony Brook graduate admission policies, please visit The University at Stony Brook Graduate School Homepage.
The majority of the students admitted to the IDPAS graduated from a baccalaureate program with majors in anthropology. While at least some exposure to the field - and especially to the field of research that is the applicant's expressed interest - is common and desirable, it is not a prerequisite for admission to the program. Rather, the faculty believes that the expected level of performance in graduate courses in anthropology and related fields can be predicted from the applicant's overall undergraduate record, with emphasis given to grades obtained in courses related to the student's area of interest.
Graduate students are admitted to the program after careful scrutiny by the IDPAS Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee includes members from all the subfields, and admission to the program is only made after full consultation with all committee members and any relevant faculty not on the committee. Considerable weight is given to letters of recommendation, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, and Grade Point Average.
At the national level, IDPAS students typically win student prizes for best paper and/or poster at the American Association of Physical Anthropologist meetings. In 2005-2010 they received 10 awards including the Juan Comas Prize, the Earnest A. Hooton Prize, the Ales Hrdlicka Prize, and the Sherwood L. Washburn Prize. The IDPAS has an excellent record in attaining NSF predoctoral fellowships and other scholarships. Additional funding is provided through Turner Fellowships (four students), Graduate Council Fellowships (four students), and Turkana Basin Fellowships (three students). Students have had great success at obtaining external funding. In 2005-2009, IDPAS students secured more than half a million dollar in grant money through 84 grants. This included 13 Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Awards from NSF, 13 Research Grants from the Leakey Foundation, six Dissertation Fieldwork Grants from the Wenner-Gren Foundation as well as 12 grants from Primate Conservation Inc. and 16 grants from Conservation International through the Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation and the Primate Action Funds Program. Students publish widely in peer-review journals. Finally, placement of graduated students in postdoctoral and faculty positions has been excellent. The IDPAS is an elite group of faculty and students with an international reputation for excellence.

Welcome to Desjardins Outfitting and The Riding Mountains of Manitoba Canada.
Desjardins Outfitting started offering Guided Bear Hunts in Manitoba in 1994. Throughout the years we have had many record book bears harvested. Alexis Desjardins is a long time member of the Manitoba Lodge and Outfitters Association and is a proud sponsor on Bowsite.com. He has had many years of experience guiding & hunting black bear, deer, moose, elk and fishing throughout Manitoba. Through out the years he has gained an extensive knowledge of the bears seasonal travel patterns, living and eating habits.
The area that we hunt is located on the Northeast side Bordering Riding Mountain National Park. This area is known worldwide for its tremendous trophy potential and also for the high percentage of color phase bears that it produces. It also has one of the highest Black Bear densities in North America. Here you can hunt spring or fall with your choice of rifle, bow, or black powder. We also have fishing close by.
hesitate to say YES! The year flew by. I'd called him multiple times, talked his ear off about our upcoming hunt.
Anyways, we arrived in Manitoba on Sunday, May 21st. Right away, Alexis and his wife April were extremely accommodating.
doesn't keep anything from anybody, it's all out on the table.
....“There's just not more I could add to what others have said in the past about Alexis, April and their family. While of course being there for a bear hunt is why you go, being there with them just adds so much more to the total experience. …. They have a very unique way of making you feel as though you really are a part of their family.
The food was amazing. Scott and I felt like we were eating Sunday dinner at every meal and not only was every meal delicious, there was more than enough to go around - over and over. It was amazing. Thank you April - thanks for all your hard work. It was great!
The province boasts a high proportion of bears with colour phases other than black, as well as truly big bears. This past spring, for example, a 595-pound bear just out of hibernation was killed on a highway west of Riding Mountain. In peak condition after a summer of feeding, it would have been a very large fall bear.

Forget Spiderman, Superman and Wonder Woman, did you know that we all secretly possess our own superpower? Yep, that's right! And we're not just talking about the usual (and rather unrealistic) choices of invisibility, ability to fly or read minds...let's face it, those are never gonna happen.
Instead let's focus on a superpower that you already have; maybe you just didn't know you had it until now! Keep reading for your secret superpower reading, brought to you by ‌YourTango‌.
Your superpower is that you're fearless. You probably would run into a burning building to save someone. You take risks, are courageous, and on top of that, you're somewhat of a daredevil. Actually, I'm not sure you're not a superhero, though you certainly have all the personality characteristics for one.

Dec 7 (SAMN) The furore over the recently imported 100 train compartments valued at a whopping Rs.2.5 billion chugged to another twist Saturday, with the revelation that they could not be used for up-country travel.

Dec 7 (SO) The language the Buddha preached the Dhamma was in Pali, which was originated from `Shuddha Magadhi Bhasha� (the language used in Magadha, the most powerful province in India during the Buddha�s time).

Dec 7 (ST) Battered by the public agitation over Pakistan-based Lakshar-e-Tayyiba's devastating 26-11 attack on Mumbai, the dilemma for the Congress government in New Delhi seems to be growing from the proportions of a political storm to one that of a cyclone.

"In addition we do not have any international cricket for about four to five months after this series, thus more..
Dec 8 (RT) Sri Lankan media while condemning the terrorist act in Mumbai has urged Indian government to review its policy toward its neighboring countries in the region.

Dec 8 (EB) Sri Lanka should reject any suggestion by India that it slow down or stop the war against the LTTE in north Sri Lanka, said The Island daily in a front page editorial on the proposed visit of the Indian Minister of External Affairs Pranab Mukherjee to Colombo, apparently to discuss a ceasefire. �If Mukherjee is rushing here with a strong message, as Karunanidhi has told the media, Colombo will have no alternative but to reject it lock, stock and barrel,� more..
Dec 8 (LBO) Often blamed for road accidents, but first on the scene to ferry victims of accidents or bomb blasts, Sri Lanka's errant tuk tuk drivers are learning first aid skills to save lives. Drivers of the tiny auto-rickshaw taxis, commonly called "autos", "trishaws", or "three-wheelers" are being taught pre-hospital care to prevent disabilities, before formal medical help arrives. more..
Dec 8 (IANS) At least 42 Sri Lankan fishermen operating in Indian waters were detained in a northern seafront suburb, the police said on Sunday. Apprehended late on Saturday night in eight boats by Coast Guard personnel, the fishermen allegedly without valid identities would be quizzed by the Joint Interrogation Committee comprising officials from the Coast Guard, navy and the collectorate to assess threat perceptions, police sources said. more..
Dec 8 (LD) President is being advised by his closest confidantes to dissolve parliament this Tuesday and hold general elections on February 18, while a strong lobby has stopped that decision, say insiders. Some senior SLFP ministers and the UNP defectors don't see the situation favourable for a general election, say the same informed sources. The JHU leadership and a few who are very close to the defense establishment have argued that war achievements have divided the UNP openly with more..
Dec 8 (BBC) Chief Ministers (CMs) in Sri Lanka have given their consent to dissolve some Provincial Councils (PCs), a Chief Minister said. Uva province CM Vijithamuni Soyza told BBC Sandeshaya that the CMs and Governors met Mr. Rajapaksa to discuss future provincial council and parliamentary elections. "We agreed that PCs can be dissolved where the necessity arises," he said. A Governer can dissolve a PC on the advice of the CM. more..
Dec 8 (FI) Re-defining the terms of a moral ideal of rebel resistance: How to master revolutionary violence? questions the Sri Lankan academic Dayan Jayatilleka in his latest book. It is by practicing a strict code of ethics, the way the 'Maximum Leader' did, proving that the limits imposed on legitimate violence help avoid terror and extreme violence and that those limits help gain popular support. more..
Dec 8 (BBC) A Tamil parliamentarian says he was prevented leaving Sri Lanka by the police at the Colombo�s international airport. Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP P Ariyanethran told BBC Sandeshaya that he went to the airport on Sunday morning to travel to India for medical treatment. At the airport, he said, he was informed by the immigration officials that he will not be allowed to leave the country. more..
Dec 8 (CI) Bad weather continued to play havoc with the Premier league tournament forcing all ten matches scheduled for the weekend in Tier A and B to end in draws. Not a ball was bowled on the second day in eight of the matches and rain curtailed play in the remaining games. However four clubs managed to obtain first-innings points and the most impressive of those matches was Colombo CC's against Army Sports Club at the Colombo cricket ground. more..
Dec 8 (Hindu) The military on Sunday claimed to be advancing on multi-fronts into parts under LTTE control in Kilinochchi and Mullathivu districts. In the most upbeat statement on the status of the current phase of hostilities the Defence Ministry said here, �Pushing an end to the 30-year-odd terrorist cause and the most prolonged, single handed counter terrorist campaign in South Asia, Sri Lankan security forces are advancing in multi-fronts with 7 offensive divisions.� more..
Dec 8 (Hindu) Until a few days ago, Sri Lankan tea estate worker Siva Sathyaseelan was worried about treating his daughter�s cleft lip. His problem was that in Sri Lanka the doctors said they would be able to operate on his daughter only after two years. �I visited all the hospitals in the country and the doctors said it would take them at least two years, as a result of which I lost hope,� Mr. Siva Sathyaseelan said. more..
Dec 8 (BBC) Tributes have been pouring in for veteran musician Mervyn Perera who passed away at the age of 68 on Sunday. Speaking to BBC Sandeshaya Visharada Victor Rathnayake said both Mervyn Perera and he were better known as violinist when they embarked on their musical careers.

Dec 8 (MN) In November 2002, Tamil Tiger chief in an interview with a Tamil Nadu magazine said � I have seen many Prime Ministers, Defence Ministers, Presidents and Defence Chiefs of Sri Lanka, but, all of them had seen only one Prabahakaran.� Prabahakaran was in a position to boast as one President donated him millions to purchase arms while a Defence Secretary presented him with state of the art Desert Eagle pistol and another Prime Minister handed over a tax free high frequency tele communication equipment. more..
Dec 8 (LG) Several leading NGOs including the International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES) and top companies are in danger of being liquidated and losing all their assets to the State if they do not comply with terms of the new Companies Act No.7 of 2007 pertaining to re-registration. According to the Act, any registered entity is in default of seeking re-registration and allotment of a new number by May 2, 2008 unless more..
Budget 2009: Political war dividend or economic crisis differed?
Dec 8 (LG) In any democratic country, the annual budget of the government is, by and large, a political economic document rather than purely economic, as most economists would like it to be. Hence, economic rationality and economic prudence gives way to political oportunism and manoeuvring. The government�s budget for 2009 presented to the Parliament last month is no exception to this. more..
Dec 8 (LG) Businessman Harry Jayawardene is accusing two directors in his companies of 'seeking the assistance of the Court to achieve their illegal objective of oppressing the majority shareholder.' Mr. Jayawardene filed these objections in the Commercial High Court on Thursday in response to a case filed by Mr. R.K. Obeysekere and Mr. Zaki Alif in November 2008, challenging the authority of Mr. Jayawardene to more..
Dec 8 (LG) It is normal for Prof. R. Cheran to dismiss that he is not a LTTE adviser; because if he admit that it would be the end of his carrier in Canadian soil. So there is no point of arguing about in his rejection of LTTE position. We also do not want to dismantle someone�s carrier as that is not our business. Our business is attacking terrorist ideology. In that case we are happy that at least now he rejects LTTE ideology. more..
Dec 8 (LG) Campaign for People�s Solutions to Food Crisis (CPSF) has started a many sided campaign to change the disastrous policies of successive governments. In the past it was the habit of the radical movements to pin the label of reaction on the UNP, but today the SLFP and the racist parties in its alliance have turned out to be equal or more retrogressive in socio economics policies. One point that many have raised is the importance of the small holder in relation to food production. more..
Dec 8 (LG) Ranil has always been the perfect gentleman to the tip of his fingers up to now. That is why he could not rebuke former President Chandrika Kumaratunga when she unceremoniously dumped him from his post sometime back. That is why he could not speak against all the atrocities committed by the politicians - on his side and the other side. He was too good to be a Sri Lankan politician where politics means ungentlemanly behaviour more..
Dec 8 (AT) India is on the verge of flexing its muscles on Sri Lanka subsequent to the shenanigans of Tamil Nadu political leaders who otherwise are working on an agenda on a separate state in Sri Lanka and to safeguard Velupillai Prabhakaran and his outfit from facing a humiliating defeat in the hands of war weary Sri Lankan forces. India has decided to send its foreign Minister Pranab Mukerjee to urge the Sri Lanka Government to end its fight against terrorism in Sri Lanka. more..
Dec 8 (FI) Senior constitutional lawyer and UNP parliamentarian K.N. Choksy yesterday told parliament that he advocated a system similar to a �federation of States� to resolve the longstanding national question in Sri Lanka. �A federation is not Eelam. Neither will it result in a division of the country. The Centre will be in sole control of the armed services, the police, sea and airports. Revenue from income tax, customs and excise duties and stamps will be collected by the Centre. more..
Dec 8 (LeN) Eastern Provincial Council Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pillaiyan says that only a few persons were aware that his slain private secretary Raghu was on the way to Athurugiriya where he met his death.

Immediately after visiting the scene of crime, he said that the killing of Raghu was not an LTTE act. more..
Dec 8 (LT) Indian official, politician or a minister should not be allowed to come beyond the Airport to discuss a ceasefire says Leader of the group of Parliamentarians of the JVP Anura Dissanayake. He said there is no harm in having bilateral discussions on cultural, religious or economical affairs but there was no necessity to discuss a ceasefire. more..
Dec 8 (LT) The JVP will vote against the budget proposals when the vote for the thied reading of the budget is taken up today says Leader of the Parliamentary group of the JVP Anura Kumara Dissanayake. He said the budget has no proposals for short term or long term solutions for economic crises and it has allocated Rs.6000 million for �Mihin Air� which has already wasted Rs.3600 million. more..
Dec 8 (LG) Modern Indian history will record Prabhakaran and Pottu Amman as the greatest villains for the murder of India�s much loved son Rajiv Gandhi. Sri Lankan historians, at least some, may record the murder of Rajiv with philosophical sarcasm accompanied by a warning about the obvious - �do not say it stings when you have placed a snake inside your Kurtha�. Indira Gandhi made the blunder by nurturing Tamil terrorism within the Indian soil and Rajiv followed her initiative. more..
Dec 8 (LG) This was true at a time when barbaric aerial bombings of civilian targets including schools, hospitals and refugee camps and internally displaced people running for their lives and cluster bombings by a state that should provide protection to those whom they claim to be their own people, were not known. It is now just a romantic illusion. Castro with 3000 rebels brought the repressive regime of Batista backed by 80,000 strong army to its knees. more..
Dec 8 (GDI) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the nomination of ambassadors to five countries, namely Japan, Lebanon, Brazil, Nepal and Myanmar, among other diplomatic appointments that have been made recently. Three senior career diplomats belonging to the Sri Lanka Foreign Service have been selected for posting to Japan, Lebanon and Brazil, while a senior civil servant and a veteran broadcaster have been designated for Nepal and Myanmar respectively. more..
Dec 8 (GDI) The Government will arrange new job opportunities for Sri Lankan nurses in Libya, Abudabi and Oman, the Minister of Healthcare and Nutrition Nimal Siripala de Silva said. The Ministry of Healthcare and nutrition has recruited 15,000 nurses during the past three years and also accepted five thousand nurses to follow the newly introduced nurses' diploma course. Measures have already been taken to commence a BSc degree programmes for the nurses, more..

Sunday evening as the sun was going down we added supers to the hives. The bees are clearly loving their life here, as they are filling up the comb like crazy. So we keep adding supers to the hive and letting the bees make more honey. Some day we will have to get honey out of there, but that is another time..
The hive was really crowded. It looked like they might be getting ready to swarm, as there was really not enough room for all the bees. They were hanging out on the front and all up the sides. There are no pictures, as we knew we needed to get the work done, quick. Claire ran the smoker and I had the hive tool that breaks the seal the bees have built. I ended up with a total of 5 stings, Claire had 2. Homer and Ryan were a little further away and did not get any.
Supers on, we admired the fireflies filling the night. Just a beautiful early summer night. Woke up the next morning and my ring finger on my right hand felt a little tight. I knew I had a bee sting at the tip. And as the morning progressed so did the swelling in my finger. And it really started to hurt.
Claire made me a boo-boo bunny like I used to have for her, and I iced it down all day. Took an antihistamine. And still it was swollen and painful. The 2 rings I had on were 2 different sizes, so Homer cut the smaller one off. It helped for a bit, but then the diamond ring had to be cut off too.
Of the 5 bee stings, 2 are barely even noticeable. One is a little swollen but no pain at all. And then there is the one at the tip of my finger and the forearm just below..still hot, itchy, swollen, hurt! Not much done at all yesterday. Guessing the ones that hurt came from brand new bees, while the 3 that are not noticeable came from older bees. Claire has requested a bee mask and gloves, says she really enjoyed it. We might need a larger smoker too..like a wood stove sized one..
In your case, it might be something you bought for someone close, or maybe it was gifted to you by parents or the love of your life.
Loved this pretty and shimmering diamond rings. Check out the top quality Diamond Rings by visiting at Jewellers Workshop.

The West German government expressed “relief and satisfaction” yesterday over the success of Israel’s rescue operation in Uganda, observed that “the behavior of the authorities in Uganda needs clarification” and confirmed that it never had any intention of submitting to the hijackers’ demands for the release of pro-Palestinian terrorists imprisoned in West Germany.
An official statement released here referred to a joint statement issued by the Cabinet and leaders of the opposition parties late Saturday before there was any knowledge that Israel had mounted a rescue operation to free the Air France hijack victims held at Entebbe Airport in Uganda.
West German radio and television stations praised the operation as an important international event that could spell the end of surrender to terrorist blackmail. Most radio commentators said that the rescue, carried out over a distance of 2500 miles from Israel’s borders, showed that Israel’s military prowess was back to its 1967 level.

We've been fans of Snowmine for a while - so much so that we featured them on the cover of our NYC issue #31 in the summer of 2012. These guys' indie pop is so reassuring it almost feels like music made by (slightly sad) angels. We are excited to hear this new, truly beautiful single entitled "Columbus" from their upcoming album "Dialects," scheduled for a February 2014 release.

In my last post, I introduced you to my notion of "mindblocks," a portmanteau that plays off of the psychological nature of these issues and the term roadblocks. In this post, I will describe to you the attitude that can help you free yourself from your mindblocks and liberate you to create the life that you want most.
I want to begin this post that has such an irreverent and unprintable title by apologizing for it. I'm not one to use profanity frequently and, in many instances, it can certainly distract from the message you're trying to send or simply sends the wrong message. At the same time, there are times when "Gosh darn it!" or "Drat!" just doesn't do justice to your emotions. In these cases, some well-placed profanity can best express the intensity of what you are feeling and communicate with prism-like clarity what you're trying to say.
If you're uncomfortable with my use of "f&%# it!," whenever you come across it in this post, mentally replace it with something that is a little less abrasive to your sensibilities. Some people I know prefer to substitute it with "screw it" which carries much of the same meaning, but is, nonetheless, more palatable for those with an aversion to coarse language. Plus, its use is acceptable in most crowds. If "screw it" still offends your moral compass, other options, such as "Who cares," "Let it go," or "Whatever," may work for you.
What you choose to call it is less important than the concept that it represents, namely, the idea that you need to let go of excessive concerns that have forced you to live a life that isn't your own and that prevents you from pursuing your life with gusto and without apprehension or hesitancy.
What is the "F&%# It!" Attitude?
Let me begin my explanation of what the "f&%#-it!" attitude is by describing what it is not. This attitude doesn't mean not caring about yourself, other people, your career, or anything else in your life. It doesn't mean not trying your best or giving up. It by no means suggests that you should surrender in any way to the seeming inevitability of your life. And the "f&%#-it!" attitude definitely doesn't mean bailing out on life; quitting your job, selling all of your worldly possessions, and moving to a deserted island.
With the "f&%#-it!" attitude, you give up expectations, both internal and external, self-imposed and outside pressure, and any pre-occupation with "what should be" or "what might happen if.' You are not driven by fear or doubt or any other negative thoughts or emotions that can prevent you from engaging yourself fully and without hesitation in your life. You are able to throw yourself completely and with absolute vigor into everything you do, whether relationships, school, work, sports, whatever, because the only thing that could hold you back--failure!--is no longer an existential threat, but rather one possible outcome that, should it occur, you can live with.
The "f&%#-it!" attitude means that you will embrace every opportunity that life presents to you and, at the end of a day, year, career, or on your death bed, you will have no regrets because you "left it all out there."
With this complete freedom, you can know that you did everything in your power to live the life that you most wanted and that would bring you your greatest meaning, satisfaction, and happiness.
So, next time you're in a situation in which you have doubts, experience worry, or feel fear, tell yourself "f&%#-it!" and jump right in.

In Douglas Adam’s 5-book trilogy, The Hitchhiker’s Guide the Galaxy, there’s a running gag about the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
The characters find out that the Answer is 42.
But Adams also posits that the Answer and the Question are mutually exclusive. If you know one, you can’t know the other. So nobody can figure out what the actual question is.
Compassion is incredibly important. Compassion towards others, towards the planet, and towards yourself. When things are mucked up, there’s usually a dearth of compassion to blame. And that’s because compassion can be hard. It often requires us to show up as our best self, which is challenging. But if you spend your days trying to act compassionately, you’ll have a life well spent.
Your definition of success has to be your own. It should be open and evolving, but in the end it has to be yours. Lots of people and groups will try to tell you what success is, because then they can tell you how to act to achieve that success. Simply take the pieces that resonate, and then politely say “no thank you” to the rest.
Learn how to appreciate jazz and poetry. They will reward the effort you put into them.
The people that surround you will shape your perspective on life. Not intentionally, but they will. You hang around high-drama people, you’ll have a high-drama life. You hang around smart, generous people, you’ll have a much more relaxed life. And the best way to attract good people: be one first and then treat them like gold when they arrive into your life.
The world is not fair. Sometimes it will come out in your favor and sometimes it won’t. Don’t get cocky when it goes your way or bitter when it doesn’t because neither of those is helpful.
Consistently make new friends. Not to replace your existing friends, but to add to the mix. Making friends takes time and energy, which is why a lot of people give up on it as they get older. But you’ll continue to run into good people throughout your life, and showing those relationships a little attention can lead to wonderful opportunities and experiences.
No one gets out of this thing alive. That is an irrevocable truth. You can decide whether that makes you fearful or appreciative. I suggest the later.
Trust and respect are both earned, not given. If you want to have people’s trust and respect, you have to act in a way that engenders it. If you do so, and they still don’t trust and respect you, that’s on them, not you. Don’t spend time worrying about it.
Have high expectations for your growth as a person. Don’t beat yourself up if you haven’t achieved a specific goal by a specific time. But always ask yourself, “Have I grown and matured from where I was last week, last month, or last year?” The only person you have to compare yourself to is the you of yesterday.
Study rhetoric. It’s a powerful mix of logic, communication, and philosophy. It will guide your inner dialogue, clarify your communication with others, and protect you from disingenuous marketing and political hacks.
Find the right partner. It’s a cliche that who you decide to marry is the most important decision you make because it’s true. Wait for the right person, and be sure that you are the right person for them. You’ll probably go through some broken hearts and some almost-rights. They won’t kill you (although it might feel like it). Make the decision because you want to be with that person, not because you are afraid of not being with them.
Eat food from different cultures. And listen to their music. We all eat and we all dance and it’s a great way to get to know the world. Plus, you’ll eat some amazing food and listen to some great music.
Have books everywhere. On bookshelves, by the bed, in the bathroom, on your phone, in your backpack. And read them. Everything from science fiction to literature to business to psychology to spirituality to comics. Books are the cheapest and fastest route to understanding the world around you.
Call your mother. She went through a lot to get you here. She’d love to hear from you, even if it’s just to say hello.

· Insure your home is clutter free and has a deep cleaning inside and out, and regular cleanings continue while listed.
· Having a home inspection done prior will help identify any issues that you may address to reduce any unnecessary issues or negotiations after a buyer’s home inspection.
· Consider removing old furniture in addition to items of personal nature such as family photos and knick-knacks.
· Consult with a home stager to assess the home and provide an estimate of staging to allow today’s buyers to imagine themselves in the home. Professional staging also will help keep resale competitive with the staging being done at new construction sites with model homes.
· Old paint colors reflect an older time, even if it was only five years ago. Once again, new construction has new color palettes and combinations that are reflective of a more contemporary style that buyers may be looking for.
· Updating and modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, lanai’s etc. can have a greater return on a buyer’s investment than investing in new construction.
· Landscaping that needs to be freshened up and/or maintained should be completed prior to listing.
· Add new smart home technology that’s inexpensive or easy to install i.e. security cameras, appliances, and thermostats synced with a smart phone. Simple smart home technology gives the buyer the impression that the seller has cared for the home and is current with the newer technologies.
· Provide a buyer’s home warranty with the sale of the home covering appliances, air conditioner, heater, hot water heater, electrical systems, pool equipment, and more.
Resales can offer many advantages over new construction including well established landscaping and no construction traffic, noise, and dirt and debris to deal with. So putting your best foot forward right out of the gate by completing the list above is likely to insure you will sell your property quicker with a higher rate of return.

We had more great speakers on Day 2 but one that stood out for me was Neerja Sewak (Brand Suntory) who focused on the magic that is ‘Brands – Chicken Essence’.
The challenge for brands is how to engage with the Millennial generation and how to use the insight to relate to their pursuit for purpose and goals. So ‘Fuel your Purpose’ was the catchphrase that brought this campaign to the new millennia.
The rallying cry from Brand Sentory – ‘Yatte Minhari’ meaning take risks, do the impossible is very much a rallying cry to our whole industry. We are on the edge of a cataclysmic change and we can choose whether to fall or fly, it is within our responsibilities.
A very powerful discussion session followed, chaired by Nicholas Hall and involving Gautam Suri (J&J), Riccardo Basile (Lazada Group) and Michael Hilb (DKSH), where it was made clear that change is inevitable and change to ecommerce is effectively already here. In a region where quality retail is scarce outside of the major cities, Asia is the prime driver of ecommerce globally.
There were some good discussions in terms of the evolution, or rather revolution in machine learning/ AI. This revolution has made it possible to tailor communication to individuals and our role here is to adapt and indeed create communities on which to focus our messages. The future for e-retailing is clear, the future of technology is clear, we must get out of the mind-set to fight the inevitable changes driven by our consumers, use of technology and begin to partner with technology giants to evolve our organisations to be more fundamentally driven by consumer behaviours and attitudes rather than our historical approach.
In the next 7 years by 2025, Millennial’s will constitute 75% of our workforce and therefore are the most important drivers of our industry; we have to change today because if we are too slow, they will make the decisions about our future, potentially in a negative way.
Nicholas Hall’s final words presented a call to action, we have to change, we have to think of the bigger opportunities and not the historical market that we have all grown comfortable in. The future is risky, the future is dangerous, the future is inevitable and equally it is exciting, inspiring and presents opportunities for growth for our industry that have been unimaginable in the past.
This conference was the first time that in open forum, we have discussed in a realistic way the need and indeed the inevitable change facing us. Equally Nicholas articulated that we are not ready, but then I would argue that we will never be ready because technology and consumers move much faster than we can under our traditional structures.
We have to move, we have to try, and we have to engage. Being intransient is not an option, making fundamental changes, trying, failing and improving is the way of working for the future and the future is now!

The origin of this present initiative was to understand and clear out all the marketing claims made by bicycle suspension manufacturers. In a situation that can be many times compared to a rough sea of acronyms and "new" suspension systems always claiming to be superior to all previous ones, and optimal this and that, it was decided that it was about time for some serious approach to understanding the functioning of a full suspension bicycle in its particular working regimens. Initially, suspension functioning has been described on the vertical plane, in order to understand what actually changes from one suspension scheme to another, and to our pride and desperation, not much really changes, at least when it is analyzed purely as a absorbing device, and that can be seen when the leverage ratio of different systems are plotted to be compared. And in addition to that, spring-damper units have also reached a point where they can be finely tuned to particular needs and appications, to an extent that no matter what your frame kinematics is doing, final wheel behaviour can still be tuned to your preference on what concerns the job of the damper itself. That is very good, after all everybody likes choice, but the analysis cannot be restricted to that. Apart from absorbing terrain irregularities, a suspension system must still be stiff and its interaction with other systems on the vehicle cannot generate problems that were not present before the introduction of suspension to bicycles. Here in short words, braking and propulsion. So, in clear words, no suspension system can totally eliminate the influence of either braking or pedaling optimally. Yes, you can neutralize pedal-suspension interaction effects to a certain gear ratio, to one specific pedaling profile, or one particular braking configuration, in a way that most claims for optimal functioning we find in mountain bike marketing have no technical background. Brake and suspension together, to any kinematic scheme, will result in an additional positive or negative torque acting along the movement of the rear wheel, and not only, once front wheel, despite the simplicity of sliding forks, will also be affected by braking, resulting in different reduced stiffness. A model describing and quantifying this interaction is presented and a few particular cases are presented.
On what concerns pedaling, more factors are present, such as an individual´s pedaling profile that can be so particular as one´s fingerprints. Or still the gear ratio being used. So, in order to keep things clear, on what concerns the frame itself, influence on pedaling performance due to suspension travel is evaluated as variation on the distance between the bottom-bracket and the rear axle along suspension travel.
We have at this point, enough criteria to compare different designs to a level that can satisfactorily allow us to evaluate a bicycle in some of the many situations found in real-life riding.
On what concerns the riding, the first question to be cleared out, was that of how much suspension work is made by the rider, and how much is performed by the suspension system itself. Being the human body an endless source of inspiration and surprise, a complex rider model is defined, and the parameters that reflect its functioning as suspension are evaluated. Said that, it is possible at this point, with the help of an instrumented bicycle and pre-evaluated terrain, to define a torsional stiffness profile of each rider, and that allows us to personalize suspension tuning to the particular characteristics of one individual.
Given all the advances seen in the late days in terms of navigation, positioning and on-board electronics, such work is of crucial importance to future developments involving the optimization and the refinement of a bicycle system to particular or momentary needs, allowing also for fexibility and/or adaptability of one single bicycle to an extended array of possible uses.

8, Lennox Gardens, London SW1 - this is the address where Edward Bernard Raczyn-ski, President of Poland in exile, spent 26 years of his life. At this very address, he welcomed official guests, friends and family into his office. This was a place which stayed in many people’s memories. Polish history was also created here. Today, one can find the accurately recreated office in the north wing of the Rogalin palace. This was made possible because the Raczynski family transferred the complete contents of the office to the Raczynski Foundation at the National Museum in Poznan.
Jan Nowak-Jeziorański recalls the London home of Edward B. Raczynski: "To his mod-est apartment… flowed an endless pilgrimage from Poland. Wałęsa visited him, as did three Prime Ministers, government ministers, political activists, writers and art-ists. He welcomed them all with the same simplicity and cordiality." He served the people and the homeland with knowledge and wisdom and balanced judgement.
Despite the loss of his sight, Edward B. Raczynski, worked in his office on a transla-tion, from French, of the memoir of his cousin, Wirydiana Fiszerowa, published in 1975 under the title A tale of my own and other bystanders. His daughters and grand-children also read him newspapers and literature there.
The office is filled with souvenirs: old furniture, family photographs, surviving por-traits of ancestors, and views of the Raczynski residence, including the Palace in Rogalin. Both typical and untypical items can be discovered at the same time, such as the scales on which Edward Raczynski weighed himself daily, which are hidden behind an historic curtain and came originally from the palace in Rogalin; his London address book containing the handwritten phone number of Winston Churchill; and a photo from the signing of the Polish-British treaty on mutual assistance signed by the participants.
The simplicity and modesty of the office takes one by surprise. It is an unusual place, fitting for such an unusual person as Edward B. Raczynski - a man of great stature, devoid of snobbery, vanity and haughtiness, who throughout his life bore witness to wise, loving service to the Homeland and the Nation.
Along with the personal souvenirs belonging to Edward Bernard Raczynski, other memorabilia is exhibited in the vestibule which are associated with his brother, Roger Adam Raczyński, including his diplomatic tailcoat from his time as Ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Romania.

“DISEMPLOYMENT”: Employing an existing word in a new way that is more resonant than the existing term.
Frictional unemployment:: Frictionally unemployed people are in between jobs or are students who just completed school and are looking for a job. This form of unemployment is usually short-lived in nature.
Structural unemployment :: The structurally unemployed are people who are laid off and looking for work because technology advances or other structural changes in production (for example, companies moving abroad) took away their jobs. The horse-and-buggy drivers of the early 1900s lost their jobs after the automobile became popular and affordable.
Many American steel, auto, electronics, and textile workers lost their jobs and became structurally unemployed due to foreign competition and American companies locating abroad (outsourcing). This form of unemployment (especially those due to technology advances) is usually permanent in nature. Even though these specific jobs may be gone forever, people unemployed for structural reasons can frequently find work in other industries after receiving training and acquiring other skills.
Cyclical unemployment :: Cyclically unemployed people are laid off due to a decline in the demand for their product; they are also looking for a job. During recessions, the demand for cars and houses and other durable products decreases. Workers in these industries lose their jobs until demand increases again. This form of unemployment is usually temporary in nature.
Seasonal unemployment :: Seasonally unemployed people are out of work and looking for a job during the off-season. Examples include ice cream vendors during the winter, school teachers during the summer (they are considered unemployed only if they are looking for a job during this time), and ski-lift operators during the summer.
How can we use this unfamiliar word to newly be defined as something specific in our society today?
What you don’t get, Trump supporters in 2019, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it’s also…hear me…charitable.
Because if you’re NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.
As the meeting gathered Thursday night, one of his chief critics, Sara Legvold, former member of the Texas State Republican Executive Committee, stood outside dressed in a the lobby wearing a black burqa to underscore her opposition to Shafi’s appointment.
Trump also said he doesn’t know anything about what happened to the notes taken by an interpreter when he met with Putin last summer in Finland or after other meetings with the Russian leader.
As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo crisscrossed the Middle East this week to explain the U.S. military withdrawal from Syria, he repeated that he was “confident” and “optimistic” that he was nearing a deal with Turkey on a mutually agreeable exit plan.
But a pugnacious tweet from President Trump on Sunday night vowing to “devastate” the Turkish economy if Ankara attacks U.S.-backed Kurds revealed a much wider chasm between the two sides and prompted a new round of recriminations from Turkey.

2017 is here and that means you have a fresh start! If you are still trying to figure out your resolutions for this year, consider ditching these 10 unhealthy habits. Not only will you feel better, but you will also be more productive in the new year.
1. Being hard on yourself: It’s easy to be critical of yourself and start comparing yourself to others. Rather than focusing on what you don’t have, actively remind yourself about your successes and how you bring unique gifts to the people around you.
2. Skipping breakfast: Seriously, it’s called the most important meal of the day for a reason. When you skip breakfast you deprive your body of vital nutrients in the morning, necessary to maintain your energy. Skipping breakfast can also lead to weight gain, increased hunger, and a decrease in metabolism.
3. Constantly being on your phone/tablet: While technology is necessary for most of us to do our jobs these days, spending too much time on your phone or reading gossip on social media can not only wreak havoc on your health, but it diverts your time away from more important activities like exercising and spending time with friends and family.
4. Not sleeping enough: Getting enough sleep is critical for your body to perform at its best. Lack of sleep can lead to mood swings, weight gain, and wear on your immune system. Remember 7-9 hours of sleep per night is recommended for adults. You can also create a healthy routine by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day.
5. Not drinking enough water: Your body is comprised largely of water. Without proper hydration your body cannot function like it should. Dehydration can lead to muscle cramps, lack of focus, and weight gain, to name a few. This year, resolve to carry a water bottle with you everywhere, so that you ensure you’re staying hydrated.
6. Getting too stressed: Even though daily life comes with stress, it is important to not let it control your life. Take time each day to do something that helps alleviate your anxiety and stress. This could include going for a walk, making a cup of our Organic Sleepy Tea, or just sitting quietly and reading.
7. Forgetting to wash your face: Although you may be ready to hit the bed after a long day, never forget to wash your face. All the dirt, oils, and make-up residue can make for some horrible breakouts.
8. Eating too much sugar and processed foods: This is an especially important unhealthy habit to give up this year. Eating foods with too many preservatives and sugar can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Looking for something tasty, without all the sugar? To beat your sugar cravings try eating fresh fruits like pineapple, kiwi, or bananas. Check out our healthy recipes!
9. Eating late at night: Another bad eating habit to ditch this year is snacking late at night. This can lead to sleep problems, weight gain, overeating, heartburn, and can even increase your risk for diabetes.
10. Not changing up your workout: Variety is key when it comes to your workouts for 2017. Changing up your workout can help spark your creativity, and fight off boredom when you start to plateau. Check out our 20 Minute Full Body Workout to mix up your routine!
Treat yourself right in 2017, and ditch these 10 unhealthy habits!

The comprehensive reagent-based technology for water treatment and counteracting the effects of eutrophication is the solution for institutions managing water reservoirs and industrial plants using process water, which experience problems with biological and chemical (including oil) pollution.
In contrast to other, hazardous chemical methods with only narrow range of use, as well as expensive and logistically complex physical methods, we offer safe, quick and simple removal of pollutants and the ability to restore ecological balance.
The Ecobiosed substance is a simple and easy to use innovative technology based on surfactants. It is characterised by very high concentration of active ions of synthetic enzymes and high energy of activation in water even at 20C.
The technology is efficient both in closed and open reservoirs, both at high and low pH and it is active already at 20C. It can be applied independently without the use of additional devices or as an auxiliary substance to mechanical water treatment methods.
Ecobiosed technology helps to restore and maintain high water quality in lakes and rivers, coastal areas, lagoons and supports protection of their ecosystems by elimination of all pollutants entering them through groundwater, municipal and industrial wastewater.

Heartfelt bludgeon to the head short about the plight of an immigrant who comes to the US and is abused.
Insisting on making a statement about the state of immigrant life in Trump's America (a long piece of Trump speaking is included), DIWA ends up being a much too strident polemic about how bad things are. The film wants to show how wrong Trump is and that the monsters are us. This is not to say that what we see isn't what many people experience, from sexual assault to bureaucratic indifference and hostility, to bad jobs and on and on. Rather it's to say that because of a need to make a point in a small amount of time and some bad acting (the cops are terrible) the film ends up being a shrieking alarm clock we smash our hand down to turn off rather than a wake up call that gets us up and into action. Reservations aside, if this was ever turned into a feature, where the story wasn't rushed and the characters could breath then I think all my reservations would be swept aside.

The CT scan showed about the same amount of growth as usual. Same old stuff thing as over the past 4 years. And that was growth over a period of weeks with no treatment at all. So it seems to waffle back and forth and grow slowly at about the same rate no matter what.
Today's infusion was postponed for a week because of the rash. The doctor wants to get the rash under control before continuing with treatment. So I'll be doing a steroid pack and changing to a stronger hydrocortisone cream.
This is how I look for the past 4 or 5 days. It's miserable. Itches all over.
The dreaded rash started today!
New treatment in Murfreesboro went well. I made it through and felt much better about doing that than going forward with the high risk potential of the clinical trial. Hopefully this drug will help. I'm on vectibix infusion every other week.
This one brings an 89% chance of bad skin rashes and acne. So I had to go to the drugstore and get acne medicine along with a lot of special soaps, lotions, creams and sunscreen. I'm still hyped up on steroids today and feel good. Only had one hot flash last night. I was actually able to lie down in the bed a couple of hours last night for the first time since December. I think the steroids might have alleviated the pain. Not sure. It all I can I figure out. Nothing else has helped. There is a small chance of infusion reaction with the drug, but will only happen during the infusion. Making it through the first infusion of a new drug always makes me feel better.
Click here to see photos of Thursday evening in Nashville (including a stop in Murfreesboro to have lunch with my sister at Chuy's). It was a beautiful day in the 70's. So when I checked in at the hotel I was able to take a walk in short sleeves a couple of blocks away to Hurry Back Tavern for a beer. They had the walls open to the outside. It was nice sitting there watching people walking by and walking their dogs. The crowd was friendly, so I was able to socialize a good bit and have a few laughs. I needed that, considering the stress that always happens the day before a CT scan.
That was some party! It was the perfect celebration. Lots of food and people and music. Here is a photo of my dad's 3 best friends in the world. They are all from his gas company days. Two of them I have known for most of my life. Taking this photo choked me up some. Thanks to everyone who showed up!
Click here to see photos & videos. Feel free to add your own.
Infusion was more or less routine this time. The only excitement was the maintenance man fixing one of the TVs. There were some adjustments to meds for my thyroid. Routine is good because it's not stressful. It's also not good, because it's routine.

First of all I have to admit that I am biased as a long time Churchill fan. I believe she is one of the most powerful and daring playwrights of our time. In fact some of her plays outweigh the classics for me. When it was announced that this year’s Master Playwright festival in Winnipeg would be ChurchillFest I knew that this was my opportunity to dig in as an artist.
I’ve been asked why we selected Fen as Sarasvàti Productions’ offering and there were many reasons. It is a powerful piece that fits our mandate of transformative theatre. It explores issues of economic oppression, the exploitation of women as labourers and how we hurt others when we feel there is no hope. In addition, the landscape held so many similarities to our own prairies. Although we aren’t waterlogged in the way that the British fens are, the characters talk repeatedly about how flat the land is, how they can see so far and yet there is nothing coming – no hope, no future… They feel trapped by a land that is wide open. Yet their little village is home and they can’t leave it. I hear many echoes of Winnipeg in the script.
The last few months I’ve been buried in fenland research. It is an amazing region with an even more extraordinary history. From Roman times there is a constant battle with the water as various groups have tried to control the river ways and water channels to reclaim the land. Ultimately the drainage, sluices and various other methods have only led to further flooding (another similarity to Winnipeg) and irreparable ecological damage as the peat dries out and shrinks.
Churchill along with the members of Monstrous Regiment spent weeks living in a cottage in the Fens as they created the play. As a result the script captures the oral tradition of storytelling from that region, as well as the mix of despair and hope. History is also captured in the ghosts of the workers on whose backs the landowners have profited. In fact the original title of the play was Strong Girls Always Hoeing in an attempt to capture the reality of the women’s lives as they spend their days working the fields for surrounding farmers and the nights working to provide for their families.
So far rehearsals have been a very enlightening experience as we discover all the layers in Churchill’s writing. With an amazing cast and artistic team, it is a rewarding experience for me as a director. It is ironic that working with so many characters who do not feel alive allows us as artists to feel alive.
The women tenant farmers of Fen expose family break-ups, domestic abuse, suicide, the back-breaking work of the poor and the indifference of government towards the economically disenfranchised. Several story-lines are scattered through the play, attention jumping from one to another like quick-cuts in a movie documentary. Through it all the despair of the characters is at the forefront as they attempt to find a means of escape.

I’ve just been reading a terrific new book called High-Profit Prospecting by my friend and colleague Mark Hunter. Mark is a consummate sales professional, and his book is about how to keep your sales pipeline full so that you never run out of valuable prospects.
What Does it REALLY Mean to Be a Producer?
During my 15 years as the Executive Producer of Seattle’s hit comedy TV show Almost Live!, I was asked that question a lot. Many times by members of my own staff.
I used to answer that question from a very specific, TV-centric focus. Made sense, right? I mean, I was a TV producer, after all.
Are You About to Lose One of Your Best Employees?
I’m angry at Janie’s boss.
Will They Be Sorry To See You Leave?
I shouldn’t be writing this. Really. If I had any sense, I wouldn’t be writing this. I wouldn’t be writing anything. Why? Because it’s late at night on Sunday, and I have an early flight tomorrow morning. So I shouldn’t be writing. I should be in bed asleep.
So why am I writing this article, and what does it mean to you?
David Bowie existed before Ziggy Stardust, but it was Ziggy Stardust that put him on the map. The striking, glam costume; the red hair; the over-the-top Spiders from Mars tour—all these elements, plus, of course, the music, shot David Bowie into stardom. But the glam rock era eventually faded. And if David Bowie had stayed there, he would have been solely of that time, and faded along with it.
For Smart People Only: Stop Being Lazy!
Smart people are lazy. (No, not all smart people. I understand that you are different. It’s the others.) Now, this can be a good thing, which is why Bill Gates once said, “I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job…because he will find an easy way to do it.” But it can also be a bad thing, because there are few things sadder than unfulfilled potential.
What does award-winning performance mean to you?
In your business, in your work, what does award-winning performance look like, sound like, feel like? How do you recognize it in yourself?
It’s been said that what gets measured gets done. Others have said that what gets measured gets managed.
I disagree with both of those statements.
The truth is this: What gets measured gets measured. Nothing more, nothing less.
What gets measured gets measured.
What happens next is entirely up to you.

The first footage has emerged from the hospital where 12 Thai boys and their coach are being treated after their dramatic rescue from a flooded cave.
Several boys can be seen in facemasks and hospital gowns, at least one giving a victory sign for the camera.
Meanwhile, reports say the boys and the coach were sedated to stop them panicking during the dangerous rescue.
The Thai Navy Seals also released new video showing the three-day rescue operation that captivated the world.
Divers who took part in the operation said the boys were heavily sedated to avoid anxiety as they went through the dark, narrow, underwater passageways.
Former Navy seal Chaiyananta Peeranarong told AFP news agency: "Some of them were asleep, and some of them were wiggling their fingers, kind of groggy - but they were breathing. My job was to transfer them along."
Each boy was strapped to one of two rescue divers tasked with shepherding him, and bundled onto stretchers to be carried through the dry parts.
Earlier on Wednesday, the head of the Thai Navy Seals told the BBC that "hope became reality" with the rescue of the boys and their coach from the Tham Luang cave.
The boys lost on average 2kg during their ordeal but are said to be in good physical condition. They will remain in hospital in the nearby city of Chiang Rai for a week, followed by a week's recuperation at home.
The first four boys have already been visited by their families, officials said, and the others will be allowed to receive visitors soon.

Host a Rose Bowl party!
Third in our bowl series is "The Granddaddy of Them All"...the Rose Bowl!
Besides the longevity of this Big 10-Pac 10 match, the Rose Bowl's popularity is largely due to the elaborate festivities surrounding the actual game. Who doesn't love to watch the Rose Parade? There are bands from around the country (camera crews, I'm begging you based on previous years' viewings...please give the auxiliary units some air time), and the amazing floats are beyond gorgeous. An entire industry surrounds the Tournament of Roses, and it generates revenue for the city of Pasadena upwards of $150 million.
California's car culture popularized the fast food burger, but is also the birthplace of the veggie burger. Try making one from scratch.
Sample SoCal's Asian influence with egg rolls (fabulous step-by-step photos and recipe here) and sushi. Add Mexican-American carne asada fries, or go for a Santa Maria style BBQ tri-tip (read more about Santa Maria style BBQ here).
Directions: Put the first four ingredients in a mixing glass then muddle them. Pour the Moet & Chandon in a highball glass. Add Bacardi Razz and ice into the shaker with the muddled fruit, shake and pour into the glass with the Champagne. (source) Rose Syrup and Rose Water can be found in some ethnic grocery stores or online.
Decorations are a no-brainer: Roses! If you're feeling ambitious, take inspiration from this arrangment, substituting the word "love" with your team's mascot. Crystal letters can be found in the scrapbooking section of most craft stores. Browse your craft store's floral department for small berry sprays or other accents in team colors.
Great ideas, Jen. Thanks so much, especially for leaving out any dishes with duck. : ) GO DUCKS!!!

Several maps showing suggested cycle routes around Aberdeen have been produced, either by Aberdeen City Council or Aberdeen Cycle Forum (a voluntary group encouraging and developing cycling) with sponsorship from Union Square shopping centre.
They show existing cycle facilities such as cycle lanes, as well as cycle shops, places to lock bikes, recommended quiet routes and recreational routes around Aberdeen.
The maps are also available from libraries or the Transport Strategy team. You can get in touch with the team using the contact details below.
The original map is very large so has been split up into sections. The index map below shows how the map has been split up. You can download each section of the map from the list below the index map.
The base mapping is copyright of the Ordnance Survey and any additional mapping work is copyright of Lovell Johns. The text is copyright of the Aberdeen Cycle Forum. Aberdeen City Council cannot accept responsibility for any errors or omissions on the mapping or in the text.

If you want a quiet environment where you will not be disturbed, discuss with your employees and colleagues important matters, evaluate the year, discuss issues concerning the future of your company? Do you like the location of our hotel, offering accommodation amidst Jeseníky mountains? But do you on the other hand require a high quality service, pleasant surroundings? Would you like to entertain with your colleagues, or would you like to “goof around” on the ski slope, which is adjacent to the hotel?
Do you want to have a good time after work, dine in fine restaurant, enjoy the rich menu of bar? Would you like to diversify your party by unconventional musical or culinary? Do you like grilled specialties? What about the ice-bar? Would you like to have fun with cymbal music on this occasion, or listen to jazz or even unplucked rock or blues.

A new study finds that diesels have a lower total cost of ownership than gasoline vehicles in the U.S. To help with visibility, Kia treats some of the windows on the Cadenza with a hydrophobic coating. All that and more, plus which is the best technology to boost an engine while downsizing it?
Due to a few key factors, the alliance between Renault and Nissan saved more than half the amount it did in 2011. Nissan’s head of commercial vehicles for North America gives us the latest on the company’s effort to upgrade New York City’s fleet of more than 13,000 taxis. Mazda pulls the wraps off the all-new version of its best-selling compact car. All that and more, plus the Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo shares his thoughts on Acura’s new “Made for Mankind” tagline.
When compared to Toyota’s CEO, it looks like all the major CEO’s are overpaid. Rumors swirl that there will be a new man in charge of Chevy’s global operations by the end of this week. Honda pulls back the wraps on a refreshed version of its Odyssey minivan. All that and more, plus how Bosch is jumping on the autonomous bandwagon.
Acura aims the biggest ad campaign in its history at women… and chooses a perplexing tagline. June car sales are expected to surge to the highest level in years. One of GM’s most prominent executives jumps ship after 27 years with the company. All that and more, plus another edition of the Autoline Garage in which we explore the consequences of an absent spare tire.
Renault introduces the all-new version of its Koleos SUV at the Buenos Aires Motor Show. Honda will assemble its second hybrid in the U.S., the all-new 2014 Accord Hybrid.

All that and more, plus host John McElroy responds to some of your questions and comments in this week’s edition of You Said It!
Automakers rarely want to admit that suppliers often do a lot of their work, and that’s the case for Fiat and its 500e. Future generations of SYNC and MyFord Touch will incorporate two classic features to make them easier to use. BMW pulls the wraps off its all-new 4 Series Coupe. All that and more, plus what makes Detroit Electric’s SP:01 sports car tick?
There were reports that the Eaton Corporation is looking to sell its automotive division, but the company emphatically denies that. Mercedes launches a significant refresh of the sedan and wagon versions of its E-Class. Ford struggles to keep up with demand for the Fusion. All that and more, plus John McElroy checks in from Bosch’s proving grounds in Germany.
Toyota doesn’t expect to regain the peak market share it once held in the U.S. Even though Nissan’s full-size pickups have the options Americans want, they seem to be bolted to showroom floors. Detroit’s iconic Packard plant is up for auction this September. All that and more, plus a look how Chevy’s all-new Cruze Diesel is different from its gasoline counterparts.
Reports say the Eaton Corporation may sell off its automotive components group to concentrate on areas outside the industry. Honda and Nissan slashed their EV prices recently and it was only a matter of time before Chevy followed suit. Later this week at the Tokyo Toy Show, Toyota will debut a new battery electric vehicle. All that and more, plus a closer look at Lexus’ 3rd generation IS.

Phillip Coorey in the AFR had it about right when he said four days of Parliament this week felt like standing in a wind tunnel.
Scandals, failures and blow-ups, each of which, in isolation, would have once occupied a week or more of the Parliament’s and the public’s attention, and possibly ended in someone losing their job, all came and went in a rush.
a $423 million contract for Paladin to run Manus Island and confirmation that Small Business Minister Michaelia Cash declined to be interviewed by the Australian Federal Police who were investigating the bungled raid on AWU offices in 2017.
The police also told Senate Estimates they believed evidence may have been destroyed. Mere bagatelle.

Life changes lead us to change our cities too. Infrastructural city changes start mainly from changes in utilities. We are not aware of these utility changes because they are not visible.
Building a new house on the street, changing telecom cables to fiber optics or putting power lines from air to underground means change in infrastructure. Like any other structure, the change in utilities must be also planned. Planning utilities is even more complicated than other structure because we simply cannot see them. Despite the standards and rules our utility maps are still not reliable. Often utility maps have the general location of a power line but not the exact location of the cable. Damaging a cable or gas line can be hazardous and cause big costs.
Similar to topological surveying, we also want to have highly accurate utility surveying. Utility surveying means detection of the utility and mapping the utility. The traditional way of utility mapping is by using electro Magnetic Locators (EML) or Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Detected utilities are marked on the road surface with spray paints and a surveyor collects the points that were marked with GNSS or TPS.
Mapping utilities in this way requires high experience. Interpretation of the location and direction of utilities on field is very difficult. Also, collecting the points later on requires visiting the site again. If detection and collection are not done by the same crew, often the marks on the site can be confusing.
DX Office Vision is Leica Geosystems’ Utility post processing software that allows even non-experienced users to digitally map the detected underground utilities simply by converting Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data into CAD drawings.
DX Office Vision aims to make interpretation of GPR data easy to master for constructors and surveyors who are not familiar with how to interpret it. DX Office vision was developed to help both experienced and less experienced users deliver professional results.
DX Office Vision was developed by utility surveyors who know what is needed from a post processing software and developed a tool that delivers professional CAD files in 5 simple steps and 50% faster than the traditional way. The software does not require long trainings in order to be used, helping you to use your time and workforce more efficiently.
With DX Office Vision, users can visualise and manage survey data from Leica DS2000, open radar profiles, mark and add targets, and build strings by connecting the targets. Results can be exported to dxf for 3D CAD drawings.
DX Office Vision is so simple to learn that anyone from the crew can collect GPR data and post process it in less time with professional results.

Joanna Wood is one of the few interior designers who has become an icon in this sector, not only for her incredible global design aesthetic but also for the brand she has created over the years.
Joanna is notable for her use of craftsmen and furniture makers to achieve a bespoke interior for her clients, with a priority to create a place that is a home. Not only does she know the look and the ambience that she wants to achieve for her clients, but she also thinks through the practicalities of everyday life.
If we had a line up of rooms from different designers, how would we know which one was your room. As a design practice our policy is not to be ‘Brand Led’. We work hard NOT to have a signature look and like to feel we address each client’s wishes and requirements on an individual basis. I believe this keeps us fresh and in touch with all sorts of skill sets and styles. I can be doing restoration work in the morning, shabby chic at lunchtime and a contemporary penthouse in the afternoon!
Design is a global business, do you have a particularly favourite country/region to work in and why?
Now we have gone global we are very excited at the idea of travelling further to carry out contracts. No particular favourites, though year-round sun has a particular appeal! We currently have clients in France, Denmark, the United States and have contracts running in both the North and South of Ireland.
How do you judge the success of a project?
There is only one way to judge the success of a project – the pleasure and satisfaction of our client is the measure. We like to think we are enthusiastic and do all we can to make the process of designing a home a pleasure for our clients – it seems to work as a general rule, as we have clients who come back time and time again.
Does your own home reflect your professional style?
I have two houses: a Cotswold Manor house built in the 1720’s and a contemporary mews house that I have just designed and built. They are completely different in style and in decoration – so yes, in a way they reflect my professional style!
Do you have a guilty pleasure, can you share with us what that is?
Lots of guilty pleasures Grant …! I will admit to loving Georgian glass, beautiful lampshades, best quality bed linen and chocolate!
What’s next for your business/brand?
Next for my business is the exciting news that Andrew Buchanan has become a co-Director in Joanna Wood International, sharing management and responsibility with me. He has wonderful taste and is a true professional, a joy to work with. Also, we moved into our new contemporary Studio off Elizabeth Street, Belgravia a few months ago and this has given us a fresh outlook. It’s all good!

Over time, robots have become more capable of matching and exceeding human capabilities, even though some employments still seem beyond their reach. Still, robots are no longer merely passive onlookers capturing information about an environment, they are engaging with it through manipulation, construction, and interaction.
Against this backdrop, aerial robotics became a common applied research tool for many different fields. In construction, drones are usually deployed for inspection, surveying, and mapping tasks in complex or dangerous environments that are barely accessible to humans and heavy machinery. These robots are capable of going beyond the simple gathering of data. They actively contribute to the building processes, instructed by generative design algorithms that translate digital data into flight paths and behaviors.
This research focuses on the application of drone technology to collect data for the design process, creating new knowledge that culminates in the development of new design methods. Hence a new paradigm leading towards generative design emerges.
The Aerial Stigmergy workshop, organized by Noumena and Design Morphine, is a one-week learning experience designed as an immersive journey in aerial robotics, open innovation, computational design, digital fabrication, and collaborative culture. The toolset includes, but is not limited to Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Processing as well as analysis software. It is intended for students of architecture and urbanism as well as professional architects, designers, and artists interested in contemporary digital design techniques.
Aerial Stigmergy aims to investigate a nonconventional construction system informed by environmental data collected by aerial robots. It will explore generative design methodology based on data-driven strategies. The workshop will be a team-based program and will be divided into different phases through which participants will build up several skills and develop their own design strategies.
The first phase of the workshop is about understanding software and hardware for flying and measuring environmental data. Participants will learn diverse strategies to fly the drone autonomously in an optimized way, to map terrain via near-infrared filtered camera, and to sense the environment through Smart Citizen board, which is able to collect data about temperature, humidity, noise, and CO2.
Participants will then embrace computational techniques to organize and visualize data gained during the first stage, by generating environmental 3D cartographies. Using these maps and database as resourceful informative documents will generate ideas for further speculations on the potentials of generative design proposals.
In response to the collected data values and 3D cartography of mapped areas, a series of agent-based generative strategies will be proposed. With constant feedback, architecture is no longer designed, then built. Instead, it adapts over time to the informed data. This stage explores bottom-up methodologies for time-based design in response to environmental data. Inspired by nature, students will design with behavioral rules for flocking, stigmergy, and 3D formations. This will generate a catalog of simulations of 4D objects that will be evaluated based on specific design brief and criteria explored by each team.
Daily meetings will take place from 9:30 to 18:00.
There will be a final presentation of your group's work containing renderings and diagrams on May 2, 2017.
All works will be published on Design Morphine web page.
All participants who complete the workshop will receive a certificate of completion.
To attend the workshop and intensive courses, no previous software experience is required.
Participants need to bring their own laptops or workstations.
Places are very limited and will be assigned on a first-pay, first-served basis.
Late registration: March 27, 2017.

Is anyone honestly 'that' surprised? What was the delta between a base 2009 C6Z and the base 2009 C6ZR1? $72k vs. $103k?? That's a $31k delta. Not much different than now.
FYI - the delta between a GT3 and a GT3RS is over $30k.
Callaway is $17k for 100hp and some cooling. GM is asking $30k more (compensating for the CCB) for 100hp, upgraded cooling, more carbon fiber (expensive), exclusivity and no spats (LOL). All in all, doesn't seem that crazy to me. Maybe $5k 'too' expensive. Oh well.
Sure it's expensive...but this is what manufacturers do with their top of the line models. Look at Porsche...look at what Mercedes does with their AMG vs AMG-s package. They charge silly amounts for not 'that' much additional performance.
I'll say this...if this car challenges a GT2-RS in any capacity...and a McLaren 720s...then it's the deal of the century. Sure it's likely $10k more than many thought...but it's still a smoking deal all things considered.

Straight line/quarter mile speed it wont challenge the 720s. There are already videos showing stock 720s running 9.70s and 9.90s with stock tires. My personal opinion is it wont challenge the GT2-RS on the ring either, it will be fast but not that fast, probably right around what the Huracan Performante did or maybe a couple seconds slower.
Ditto. Pricing is disappointing. For me it's not enough of an improvement to justify selling my 2017 C7Z for one.
I agree with you on the 720s comment...They are beasts that are more likely pushing 800hp. Hard to believe it's as fast or faster than a P1 with '200 less hp'...that's why I think they are a lot more than 720hp.
As for the GT2RS ring time...call me skeptical, but I don't think the GT2RS time is the same car you're getting at your local dealership, if you know what I mean. THUS, I think when they go to MRLS for an 'independent' test I think the ZR1 will compare VERY favorably. It has in the past with the C6, and there's no reason to think it won't now either.
Rick, I think you need to step back from the keyboard and take a break. Further, stop insulting folks on the team.
"Juechter said the ZR1 won’t be double the price of the Stingray."
That's all that was printed in Motor Trend's reveal. That's it. Period. Full stop. "won't be double the price of the Stingray".
And it's not. It's more than that. He revealed what he was allowed to at the time he was allowed to. Get it?
Yea the 720s is over 800hp at the crank. Two have already been put on the dyno and one was 680ish rwhp and another was 690ish rwhp. So unless McLaren has figured out some awesome technology that really limits drive train loss then they are definitely 800hp engines. It doesn't hurt that it's 3000lbs wet too. As for the GT2-RS I know what you are saying and I've heard other people say that. The same thing happened with the Huracan Performante.
My thinking on that is that there are enough 3rd party magazines and recreational drivers out there that will test this and while they might not be as good as factory race car drivers, they are good enough to where you can look at their times and the official times and see if something is up. But I think the ZR1 doing a sub 7 min time is definitely a possibility now. Which when you look at the price of a Perofrmante and GT2-RS(which will be impossible to get) it's a bargain for the road racer if it does sub7 min times.

I respect you, your contributions to the forum and the help you previously provided me with a problematic car.
However, your constant condescending responses to forum contributors is getting old. Especially when you respond to valid comments/critiques. I haven't drank the Team Corvette Kool Aid as you have and will call a spade-a-spade. Your never ending support of the "team" is not always justified. Tadge consistently makes untruthful statements and should be held accountable for his words/actions.
The "team" does well on 90% of the car and then drops the ball on important items and falls short/lies trying to rectify. I spend a lot of money on Corvette's and as such have paid for the right to criticize/critique/comment.
I "get it", I'm just not sure you do as you have your Team Corvette blinders on. Your statement is just silly. I'm pretty certain people interpret Tadge stating it wouldn't be double the price of a Stingray implies it would be less.
Maybe it's time for you to stop the constant RAH-RAH-RAH, GO TEAM, even after the team fumbles the ball.
P.S. FYI, despite what Tadge has said my 2017 M7 still overheats on track and I believe there are a few people still waiting on the reasonably priced cooling retrofits he said would be available for 15 - 16 owners. I also saw his nose grow when he stated he wasn't aware of there being an issue with the cast C7Z wheels bending.
I won't even go into him stating he's unaware of there being an issue with valves dropping on the LS7 engines.

I'm just looking forward to seeing what the LT5 engine can hold for more power.
We really do hope it doesn't run into the same overheating issues like the Z.

Not to be rude...but that's just business. Period. They will sell all 2000 units. Will you not buy another Vette because of it?
I'm with JVP on this...relax. It's not that big of a deal. The price is the price. All companies fibb.
We knew that! I knew that! That is why I rather have two Z06's 1 A8 and one M7. While saving a lot of cash!
for 68 with PDR and black wheels.
Sure they will get rid of 2000 of them. Because every car they build is gone to a dealer where they may sit a while. Dealers get every car GM makes. I don't think they will flying off the lots. The dealer mark-ups, The MSRP will go up quickly. Not sure on the demand either. Look at the Viper ACR a like car big wing with no demand.
Be interesting to see how they do sell!
With out possible mark-ups which the first cars should have.
119,995 GGT and A8 your at 124. Then PDR and comp seats your at 130k and still don't have the track Aero.
I don't doubt they will find 2000 buyers.
The first 1000 will fly off the lots or are already sold, the 2nd thousand if they have to discount, they discount.
That is assuming it is a 1 year only run.

The Weingart Foundation is excited to launch a pilot fellowship designed to strengthen the pipeline of next-generation social justice and racial equity leaders in Los Angeles County. The John W. Mack Movement Building Fellows program seeks to build the region’s social movement infrastructure by supporting a robust network of leaders committed to realizing a long-term vision of justice and equity for all. As part of the new program, a cohort of 12 emerging leaders will be selected to engage in transformative leadership development training, peer learning and coaching over an 18-month period.
The idea for this program originated in March 2017, when our Foundation convened 170 philanthropic colleagues and nonprofit leaders for a day-long discussion on “Achieving Equity” in Southern California. Participants identified as a key action item the need to develop, support and sustain leadership for movement building. The Foundation subsequently convened an advisory group of seasoned movement builders and commissioned a study to better understand the region’s leadership development infrastructure. Based on our learnings, the Weingart Foundation is piloting the John W. Mack Movement Building Fellows program, named after the late civic leader who began his lifelong social justice career as a student activist during the civil rights movement.
Interested candidates should apply by the deadline of June 17, 2019 at 5 p.m. Fellows will be announced by August 2019. For more information on the John W. Mack Movement Building Fellows program, including eligibility, selection criteria and how to apply, click here.

World-renowned American industrialist Henry Ford was once quoted as saying: “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is a progress. Working together is success.” For new Bryant University head football coach, Chris Merritt, the journey towards success begins with teamwork, both on and off the field.
On December 21, 2018, Merritt was formally announced as the Bulldogs’ head coach in the Stepan Grand Hall of the George E. Bello Center on the Bryant University campus. He becomes the fourth head coach in the program’s history, which has been competing in college football since 1999.
Statistically, Merritt’s coaching pedigree is quite impressive. Prior to accepting the head position at Bryant, he spent the past 18 years as the head coach at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Florida. He posted an overall record of 172-45, including two state finals appearances (in 2014, and once again in 2018.) During his tenure, Merritt guided the Explorers to five Regional Championships, 14 District Championships and an 80-4 record in district competition.
In addition to his success at the high school level, Merritt is also no stranger to collegiate competition. Prior to his time at Columbus, he served as the special teams’ coordinator and defensive backs coach at Thiel College in Greenville, Pennsylvania. He also spent two years as an assistant coach at Eastern Illinois University from 1993-94. However, Merritt’s strongest ties to college football are rooted in the numerous young athletes that he has guided toward collegiate careers. Throughout his time at Columbus, Merritt’s program has produced over 100 college football players, including current Bryant offensive linemen Kyle Mann and Robert Perez. In addition, Merritt has coached against many players on the current Bulldogs’ roster. Therefore, it is safe to say that Chris Merritt is already quite familiar with the culture of Bryant football.
Therefore, it came as little surprise that there was mutual interest from both parties, when the Bryant Football head coaching position became available in late 2018. Merritt’s instincts about Bryant University were both confirmed and enhanced during the interview process. “President (Ron) Machtley, Bill Smith (Bryant’s Athletic Director) and the entire staff made me feel comfortable, and I was certain that this would be an environment in which I would have every opportunity to succeed.” As a result, Merritt is now tasked with continuing to cultivate a Bryant football program with a growing national reputation.
Despite the great responsibility that comes with the job, Merritt is confident that his values and experience have him well-prepared for the task at hand. He has an enthusiastic commitment to the highest level of student-athlete development. As such, he remains steadfast in his desire to ensure that each of his players is able to excel both in the classroom and on the athletic field. “The best compliment that I can receive is when someone tells me that my players are hard-working, respectful, disciplined and play sound football,” Merritt said. Whether it be athletically, academically or socially, he takes his greatest pride in making sure that his players can enjoy ongoing success in all aspects of their life.
It is this type of commitment that is endearing Chris Merritt to the Smithfield community, as well. In having the opportunity to be a part of the Marist Columbus community in Miami for the past 18 seasons, he maintains a staunch desire to develop strong relationships among those with which he shares local ties. “I have been so pleasantly surprised by the support I have received in Smithfield and the surrounding areas, thus far,” Merritt happily explained. “Whether they know me, or not, everyone has been friendly and kind. I was recently greeted warmly by three different people at a local coffee shop. No one mentioned football. They just wanted to wish me a great day. That is the type of community in which coaches and young athletes can thrive.” By his own admission, his fondness for Bryant, as well as Smithfield, will be a major marketing device in the recruiting process.
“I’m extremely excited to hit the road recruiting and to begin work with these young men to develop a culture of success. It is my number one goal at Bryant for every player in our program to expect to win. I can’t think of a better place to do that than this University and this community in Smithfield, Rhode Island.” The Smithfield community could not agree more with Coach Merritt on this point.
On behalf of The Smithfield Times, I would like to welcome Coach Chris Merritt and his children, Megan, Ryan, and Shannon to Smithfield. We wish you the very best of luck in the upcoming season, and hopefully, for many seasons to come.

The first 2015 italian Twitter Webinar hosted by #TwitterAcademy ended a couple hours ago: it was mostly focused on an extensive overview of the two monitoring/advertising platforms granted by Twitter to its business-oriented end-users: analytics.twitter.com and ads.twitter.com, both of them accessible using our very own standard Twitter account.
analytics.twitter.com è lo strumento gratuito mediante il quale è possibile misurare le visualizzazioni e le interazioni dei nostri tweet.
Besides the starting page, which features an extensive overview of all our recent Twitter activities, we can also access to the Follower dashboard: there, among an historical activity chart, we can obtain some interesting intel about our followers behaviours and habits. We can see their interest, their home country/zone, their gender and, most importantly, an aggregated list of any other Twitter account they’re also following: this could easily be the key we need in order to know better our followers and learn how to pinpoint our tweet contents to better suit their needs.
It’s worth to mention that all these data can be easily exported in .CSV format for further analysis using the export button in the main menu.
One of the most interesting features of the Analytics platform is the single tweet analysis, a popup overview contaning a lot of useful details about the selected tweet: views breakdown, answers, retweets, clicks, favs and more. These are all important info to help us to understand if that specific tweet managed to hit the mark or not, being useful to our followers and, most importantly, reaching out new potential users.
The Tweet details popup panel also contains the new QuickPromote feature, a commercial tool that allow us to create a minimalistic single-tweet campaign with a single click. It works in a very simple way: you choose a price plan and the tweet will be shown to potential followers until it reaches the expected views/interaction revenue – the more you pay, the most you’ll get. The webinar author suggested to use this feature to maximize the outcome of our “best” tweets in terms of interaction between our followers: meaning that we can use our already faithful user base to find the tweets that are arguably worth to be promoted, filtering out the less catching ones.
ads.twitter.com è la piattaforma a pagamento per la pianificazione di campagne promozionali, obiettivi, conversioni etc.
According to the webinar, the advertising platform is the tool we can use if we want to effectively setup a business on Twitter. There we can do campaign planning, metrics & conversions analysis, conversion rate measurements, extensive stats and much more. It shares the same logic – and terminology – used by the Facebook for Business platform, so it shouldn’t be a problem to learn how to effectively use it.
Needless to say, all the ads data shown by the various dashboard can also be exported in .CSV format for further analysis.
Keep an eye on your followers’ interests: if you want to make them happy and boost their interactions you need to write your tweets according to their agenda: that’s the main purpose of the Follower dashboard.
Geo-localize your campaigns: this is mostly important for promotions, special offers, commercial-related stuff and every time we need to fire our bullets to actual targets.
Observe those followed by our followers: here’s another thing we can do via the the Follower dashboard. We can learn to our “competitors”, see what our followers tend to like/interact most and use these infos to write interesting stuff ourselves.
Remember that the followers community constantly evolves. Twitter is a lively, ever-changing experience: just like the web. People interests, behaviour and tendencies are subject to changes, and we need to react accordingly. That’s why we need to constantly keep ourselves up-to-date, and there’s only one way to do so: act like we are our very first follower. As long as we manage to do so, we will be able to write enticing contents that will most likely pay off in terms of interactions / click / views and more.
What’s the “Tweet Interaction Rate” and how is it calculated?
The tweet interaction rate is tue sum of all the interactions (retweets/answers/etc.) divided by its total views number. For example, a Tweet with 30 views and 3 interactions will have an Interaction Rate of 10%.
It’s advisable to use rich media elements (imags, video, cards) in our tweets?
Rich media usage is always advisable, as multimedia content usually grants a substantially higher interaction rate. The content of a tweet containing a nice picture or a catchy video will be probably seen as more interesting by most users: that’s why using media contents, whenever possible, is always encouraged.
What are the Twitter Cards and why I should use them?
They are a rich media content featuring an image, a text and a button in a block placed next to a tweet. A tweet with a card can substantialy boost its interaction rate. For more informations about Twitter Cards you can go to the the official guide. Twitter Cards will also be the main topic of the next Twitter Webinar: be sure to not miss it!
The Twitter Cards webinar has not been announced yet. To keep yourself updated on Twitter Italia & Twitter Academy webinars you can use the #TwitterAcademy hashtag.
Where can I find other italian webinars?
All the 2014 Italian Webinars are available from this page of the Twitter blog.
A special thanks to @petrussola, author of the webinar and a valid speaker. See you next time!

how does everyone create new songs...i can never find anything that could inspire me enough to write a song. how does everyone do it.
Ryan just made a thread on his song writing process. It's really helpful.
I usually think of some cool line, and I build up around it. Words are the easy part for me, it's the music part that I struggle with.
I think writing lyrics is the hardest part for me. It's usually because some lines sound too similar to other songs, but nothing is like the feeling of completing your very own song.
never try to force lyrics, it'll never work , and you'll just get pissed. Almost all the times they come randomly. for me its in the shower.
-if you do get the first few lines, sit down and write it out. write out everything and dont cross anything. if you need to to draw arrows and such, but crossing out things can ruin a "what might of been" song.
-remember that "rhyme schemes are for d-bags". lol, not really, but its what i tell my self because forced rhymes are the death of a song. if you have something that doesnt rhyme dont worry about it.
-nothing is cliche or cheesy, or stupid.
I'm more of a composer than a lyricist... though I try to do some songwriting from time to time.
For me, it's best to come up with a chord progression or a basic melody first.
Then, if composing an instrumental piece, I expand on the melody, add some variations to it, and just extend the piece out.
...it really just all depends on what sort of person you are... how musical you are... what sort of musical training you have, etc. etc.
Just be yourself, and you'll come up with something that is distinctly you.
Take your instrument, and do your worst - while recording it on a tape recorder. Then go listen to it again, and ideas should start to appear. After that, tune and lyrics just kind of come naturally - think of them as the icing on the cake.
The way most songs are written is as instrumentals or chord sequences first, and then vocals later.
with lyrics thats how i kinda did my own song, but i forgot the chords T____T"
For practice, write a joke song. Or possibly an everyday topic. A lot of folk songs seem to be about "what living life is." It doesn't have to be profound. What is living life to you?
Write out what do you do every day, as long as you like, and then read over it. Think of a way that you could describe it in only a few words. (Maybe, "just scraping by on hourly" or "dying a day at a time in a call center." Or "Watching the kids grow up to be honest young men" ) Then tell me, the listener, about it, and why I care, and how this might effect someone else.
I've tried taking my music and putting lyrics into it....... i choked on the cake and died..
I can come up w/ melodies, but the lyrical side is HORRIBLE!!!
Write one around the other. Don't write two seperate things. That works for me, anyway.
that could be good lyrics!
i start with a title, get a chorus, and by starting in the middle, work my way out to both ends.
words always come first for me.
i let the rhythm of the words suggest a melody.
feelin' nearly faded as my jeans"
often my chorus will also double as a first verse.
as far as inspiration, just listen to people talk. i live in the south, lots of slang and more than a little twang. language is music. pick out the good bits of overheard conversations and write a song.
Here's a link to an E-BOOK on CHORD PROGRESSIONS... it goes into a detailed explanation of chords 'n stuff, has some exercises and examples, even some audio examples. Its not free, but I think its well worth the price.
I do a couple of different things when I'm writing a song.
First of all, I try to figure out what the song's about. Is it a song about a topic (for example, politics or religion), is it a song about a person's struggle, or is it about a relationship? If you can pinpoint what you want the song to be about, it will help the words come faster. I tend to do some free-form associations on another piece of paper so I can work out some ideas in this arena.
Secondly, I try to come up with a title. That may sound like a pretty simple thing, but it helps. I personally try to make sure that the title isn't something totally out there. If you can fit it into your song's chorus, then all the better. It'll give people a strong hook that they can grab onto both lyrically and musically. It's kind of like home base. Here's a song (http://jddennis.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/pigeon-of-the-system/)that I wrote where I came up with the title first. It was a stray phrase that I came up with while walking to a concert in Washington, D.C. that stuck with me.
Next, I try to come up with at least one or two stories that try to convey what I want to say. I'm a guy who relates to stories in songs. It helps the listener relate to the characters. In "Pigeon of the System," I used two different characters, telling short third-person stories as my verses. I've also written songs where there was just one character telling a first-person story. It all depends on what you want to get across.
Next, I start writing the lyrics, developing a melody that feels natural to the words as I go along. This is usually where I sit down and try different chord progressions, too. I let the melody come first, though, and that's shaped by the words. So the chords are For the first verse this is pretty easy. It gets harder as I add verses, though, because I feel strongly that the melody should be the same throughout all the verses. Some songwriters change the melody to fit the words they want, but that always sounds unnatural to me. If the words match the melody all the way through, it doesn't sound forced to the ear. By the same token, I am very adamant about getting the same number of lines in my song. In Western popular music, people are listening for resolution. The writing of the song should seek to provide both lyrical and melodic resolution all the time.
So, after the choruses and the verses are done, I tinker with a bridge if I feel the song needs one. For me, this tends to present the main thrust of the song in a different light. It just reinforces what the main song is about.
I tend not to write instrumental sections into my songs. I occasionally will have a chord progression that can be soloed over, but I feel the performers should have as much freedom arranging the music as much as they want. If they want a solo of some kind, the verse chord progression usually provides enough harmonic diversity to act as a palette.
Finally, I come up with a little closer or coda to end off the song. This could be a couple of independent lines or a modified chorus. Again, just something that provides resolution.
One other thing I'm mindful of is this: Sometimes you've got to break your own rules. I don't always start by asking what's the song about. I don't always use the title in the chorus. It's kind of like what my theory professor taught me in school: learn all the rules and THEN start breaking them. So, that's what I do. And I sometimes I get really good results that way.
OK, that was a bit long-winded. I hope it helped, though.
I have multiple ways of doing this.
i wish sheet music and tabs appeared in MY dreams!!

What Are the Dangers of Beer Funnels?
A beer funnel, sometimes referred to as a beer bong, is a simple contraption, either built by hand or purchased at a specialty store or website. It consists of a funnel connected to a long hose. The concept is to pour beer into the funnel and the person at the end of the hose consumes the alcohol as quickly as possible. The purpose of using a beer funnel is recreational--but for some, this activity is anything but entertainment. Beer funnels are primarily a plaything used by teens and young adults--people with very little knowledge of the dangers of alcohol.
WRAD also warns that alcohol abuse can lead to “long-term damage to the heart, liver and brain.” Teen Alcohol Abuse, an educational website, suggests that beer bongs, known as a capacity game, pose additional problems for young people: this form of social drinking encourages alcohol abuse, promotes heavy drinking, leads young people to believe that socializing can only be enjoyed when they’re getting drunk and may lead to a potentially chronic and progressive alcohol problem.
Eye On Students, a higher-education newsletter, reports that drinking games, like playing beer bong, make young people believe that drinking in excess is normal. This type of drinking also lends itself to overconsumption since it’s difficult to keep track of how many beers have been ingested. If a person is not aware of how intoxicated they are, they’re more likely to engage in dangerous behaviors like driving while drunk. Not only does drinking under the influence pose a risk for arrest and jail, but the person may be thrown out of school or fired from a job if they’re underage.
In an Associated Press investigation, reported in an article on ABC.com, between 1999 and 2005, 157 Americans between the ages of 18 and 23 drank themselves to death. The National Institutes of Health reports that about 600,000 college students incur alcohol-related injuries each year, while about 1,700 die of alcohol-related causes. Because the only purpose of a beer funnel is to deliver alcohol to the system more rapidly, it’s easy to see how playing this supposedly innocent drinking game could have potentially grave consequences.

Couples who like the idea of a “Wedding PA” service with us working away in the background. Purchase our time in blocks starting with 10 hours and add more as you need it. Use us as and when you need us, e.g a brainstorming meeting at the beginning to get you started, or pull us in when you get stuck on a particular element of planning. Maybe use us on the day just for styling or setting up the venue. Great for couples who don’t necessarily want or need us all the time or for the whole day. Good for couples who want to have a large amount of involvement or pick and choose the bits they want to do themselves.

> I'd look but I'm undercaffeinated at the moment!
I remember having this issue too, but only on systems with a slow CPU.
I wondered if the problem was that the plugin was doing some CPU intensive initialisaton that meant it didn't respond to jack for too long and therefore caused problems. The problem seemed to occur at session load time rather than when the pligin was added to the project.

DENVER (March 14, 2018) – Think fast: Can you name Colorado's most popular car? If you said the Subaru Outback, you'd be wrong – but you wouldn't be far off. The Outback comes in at number three in Colorado vehicle registrations, just behind the Ford F-Series and the Dodge RAM, per data from IHS Markit.
Now, guess what those cars have in common. You got it: They look super cool when tackling Colorado's mountain roads. Know why? Each is equipped with either a four-wheel-drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) system to maintain traction in treacherous and even off-road conditions. In Colorado, our cars are as active as we are – look no further than the dozens of 4WD or AWD vehicles on any given Colorado road, pass, or trail.
If you're one of the thousands of Coloradans who own a vehicle equipped with either of these drive systems, though, take good care: Both are extremely sensitive to variations in tire tread. That means, as these motorists replace a flat or gear up for spring by swapping out their tires, they must ensure that all four tires are of the same brand, model, size, and have the same degree of tread wear – or risk expensive drivetrain damage. Some systems are so sensitive that more than ¼" of tire circumference variation can cause major drivetrain component failure.
Per research from the AAA Automotive Engineering and Repair division, Subarus are especially sensitive to tire-tread variations. Assuming all four tires are the same brand, model, and size, the tread depth between them may not vary more than 2/32". Failure to adhere to these requirements makes it a matter of when, not if, the transmission or another drivetrain component will be damaged. Audis and Porsches similarly experience serious drivetrain problems when tire diameters vary too much.
Luckily, ensuring consistent tire tread is simple – and can save drivers money when compared to the cost of repairing or replacing a drivetrain. Motorists should have their tire pressure checked at least once a month and should ensure pressure on each tire matches manufacturer specifications. Tires should be rotated per the manufacturer's recommendations to equalize wear. And, when installing anything other than a complete set of original-size new tires on a 4WD or AWD vehicle – if you're replacing just one tire, for example – check your owner's manual for treadwear, diameter, or circumference variation specifications.
Install a matching set of four new tires. This is often the best option when the other tires on the vehicle are somewhat worn. The less tread that remains, the more sense it makes to install all new tires. However, if a car owner needs to save money, other options can be considered.
Install two new tires that are an exact match for the others on the vehicle. This option applies primarily to part-time 4WD or on-demand AWD systems, provided the circumference variation of the new tires is within specifications. The two new tires should always be installed on the rear axle to maintain vehicle stability in low traction conditions.
Install one new tire that is an exact match for the others on the cars. This is a good option when the other three tires have minimal wear and the circumference variation of the new tire is within specifications. If the variation is too great, the new tire can be shaved using a tire truing machine to match the average circumference of the other tires.
Install one used tire that is an exact match for the others on the car. This option depends on being able to locate the exact make and model of tire with the same degree of treadwear as the other tires on the vehicle. Subaru and Audi dealers, which offer many AWD models, sometimes keep good used tires on hand for times when a single tire needs to be replaced. Used tires are also available online and at local tire resellers, but locating and purchasing an appropriate tire through these channels can be time-consuming, and tire quality is a potential issue. No matter where you buy, make sure to check the DOT date code and be aware that many manufacturers caution against using tires more than six years old.
"If you're anything like most drivers, you don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about your tire tread," said AAA Colorado spokesman Skyler McKinley. "But what you may not know is even tiny variations in tread between tires can cause devastating damage to your vehicle – especially if, like many Coloradans, you have a four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive system. You can avoid steep repair costs with two key practices: Maintain vehicle tires properly, and choose replacement tires thoughtfully."

Commissioned by the English Chamber Orchestra and first performed by them under Stephen Barlow at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London on 1st June 1984.
Symphony for small orchestra was commissioned by the English Chamber Orchestra in 1983, with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain. It was first performed at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on June 1st 1984, conducted by Stephen Barlow.
During the first half of the 1980s I drastically trimmed my musical language, eliminating harmonic complexity and dissonance, and restricting myself to a modal sound world and audibly physical rhythms, often derived from my interest in African music. Symphony for small orchestra (together with a small group of pieces written that same year) represents the most extreme point of this quasi-minimalist phase. It is a single-movement piece lasting twenty-five minutes, yet scarcely departs from the Aeolian mode (white notes of the piano, from A to A). The title is ironic: the piece has nothing to do with the symphonic tradition, and relates more closely to the baroque concerto grosso. It is scored for flute, two oboes, two bassoons (second bassoon doubling contrabassoon), two horns and strings with important concertante parts for flute, first violin, viola and cello.
Rhythmically it is both simple and complex – simple in that the pulse rarely alters, and there are almost no values other than crotchets and quavers; but also complex, because the patterns formed from these constantly shift in length, and are frequently superimposed in unpredictable ways.

Diabetes is a condition in which the glucose burning capacity of the human body is impaired. This results in the accumulation of excess glucose in the blood. This accumulation increases to such an extent with time that it becomes difficult for the body to perform its normal functions. The body becomes slow in reacting to situations due to the excess accumulation of the glucose in it.
Kidney problem is when the kidneys stop performing their normal function of filtering the impurities of the body and throwing them out through urine and defecation. The condition aggravates to such an extent that the kidneys need to be replaced or the person has to undergo dialysis. The latter is a medical condition in which the unwanted matter from the kidney is removed by artificial means.
How can diabetes lead to kidney problem?
Then it is quite likely that you have diabetic kidney disease.
The conditions mentioned above are not exhaustive; however, they are more common in people afflicted with diabetic kidney disease. There are ways to manage diabetic kidney disease. However, we always say, prevention is better than cure. Therefore, it is better we prevent the onset of diabetic kidney disease rather than going for curative measures later. If we take certain precautions right at the inception of the disease, it is likely that we will be saved from a lot of needless trouble.
Diabetic kidney disease can be prevented. In early stages of the disease, it shows no symptoms. However, if you are observe conditions mentioned above, then it is quite likely that you may be suffering from the disease. This malady can be cured by taking substances that help cleanse the body. Aloe Vera is a good cleansing agent for the body. The kidney virtually loves it. It helps the kidneys function better. There are other cleansing agents. Cranberry juice is one of them. Lemon and lime-based citrus juices can also be counted among cleansing agents. Water is the universal cleansing agent. It is the best remedy for diabetic kidney disease. However, we tend to neglect drinking water regularly because it is easily available. It is human tendency that things, which are easily available, are taken for granted.

Tips on choosing and using reference managemers (AKA citation managers) including EndNote, RefWorks, Zotero, and Mendeley.
Choosing citation/reference management software: which one is right for me?
1. Store information about books, articles, websites, etc. in one place.
2. Organize this information is a useful way and search to find what you seek.
3. Use the information in your reference manager to add in-text citations and a reference list to a document you are writing.
They vary in many details.
We will focus on 4 (EndNote, RefWorks, Zotero, F1000). There are many others available. As I write this in early 2019, the last year has seen 2 reference managers merge (final state of the product is not clear as yet, another has been bought out and been re-purposed, and another (Mendeley) has been having usability and reliability problems. Elsevier/Mendeley have also begun to encrypt the data in your library! This means you as the owner and organizer of the library are unable to move that data to another reference manager. Another has become superfluous. PaperPile and RefWorks work with GoogleDocs, but RefWorks is free to you as a UCSF person, and you pay a monthly fee for PaperPile. We try to monitor developments in reference managers and will provide information about significant updates.
If you don’t want to pay for software, consider RefWorks (UCSF only), F1000 (UCSF only), or Zotero.
If you want open source software, choose Zotero.
If you want software that's easy to learn, choose RefWorks or F1000 (UCSF only). Zotero is pretty easy as well.
If you want to mainly work off-line on your own computer, EndNote is your best bet. Zotero is an alternative.
If you want easy online access to your references, consider RefWorks. EndNote Web/Online, and Zotero also permit this, but with fewer features than the desktop versions.
If you have saved a large collection of PDF files on your computer which you wish to add to your reference manager, Zotero, RefWorks, and EndNote are all able to add them to libraries, and extract the the citation data you will need when writing your manuscript.
If you want a program that will fetch batches of PDFs for you after you have added them to your library, EndNote is the best choice. Zotero does OK at this function.
If you are writing a systematic review or performing other research during which you will accumulate a large number of references (5000 or more) prefer EndNote.
If you're interested in using the software to collaborate with colleagues, Zotero, RefWorks, EndNote are preferred.
If you want to sync your library with multiple computers, choose Zotero, RefWorks or F1000 (the latter two are online platforms).
This is an attempt to provide a brief overview of five popular citation management software. The right software for you will depend on your work and your environment.
EndNote and RefWorks are the two most popular managers here at UCSF.
EndNote Basic: Free stripped-down version.
Individual must purchase own copy. Free to UCSF students, staff and faculty. Create an account here. After graduation, UCSF alumni can retain account.
Yes, via Write-N-Cite plugin. Also works in GoogleDocs.
Current version, X9 has minimized visual difference between the platforms.
Same for both Mac and Windows, though there are different versions of the Write-N-Cite Word plugin.
Yes, but user must configure software.
Create a Formatted List of Figures & Charts.
New RefWorks does not have an app. Website is not mobilized.
There is an EndNote X9 app in the App Store.
You can access RefWorks with your browser on your iPad, functionality is limited.
On the desktop version, you can share folders with others using the share function, or export libraries others can add to their EndNote. EndNote web version is designed for sharing.
Share database (or folders) with members you invite.

“At 966 metres above sea level, the cool temperatures and lush green environment have long attracted wealthy Iraqi tourists from the hotter Arab regions of the country”.
On arrival, however, Shaklawa has degenerated into a caricature of a Malaysian hill resort. It was a large construction zone of oversized houses, shopping centres and bulldozers, dessicating the once beautiful area into something appearing as a city inside a strip mine. I decided to continue on to Erbil.
The following day I went to the “garage”, the collective taxi stand to go to Sulumaniya, the second largest city in Iraqi Kurdistan. I negotiated the fare and just as I was leaving, I tried to confirm thatthe route would go through Peshmerga controlled Koya and not through Kirkuk. The drivers said it was OK. “No problem, safety, safety, safety. Only near Kirkuk. No terrorism”.
While this contradicted the advice in the Lonely Planet guide (went to press in late 2008), and I had hired the taxi individually, previous advice received from major hotels had advised that taxis going from one place in Iraqi Kurdistan directly to another all went through safe areas. So we were on our way.
On the road to Dohuk, roads had been constructed that bypassed Mosul and stayed just inside Peshmerga controlled areas. There had been several checkpoints as we bypassed Mosul and my passport was checked several times.
We passed a sign saying “Welcome to Kirkuk”, as we entered a semi-urban area. We approached another checkpost, this time with blue uniforms rather than green. We were in Arab Iraq. We were waved through.
Shortly after, there was a bypass with the sign for Sulaymaniya. The driver turned on it saying “This way central Kirkuk and Baghdad, this way Sulaymaniya”. Shortly after there was another Arab Iraq checkpoint, The Arab guard asked me in English without asking to see my passport, where I was from and where I was goings. He then said “Have a nice trip: and we were on our way. We stopped for tea at a road side stand for about 20 minutes, drove through another checkpost where we were waved through. Then another more formal checkpost with an Arab Iraqi flag on one side and the Iraqi Kurdistan flag on the other.
This time the Peshmerga guard asked for my passport, reviewed it and gave it back to me. We were back in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Sulumaniya is a delightful city at over 800 metres above sea level with the Zagros mountains in the background.
There is a modern section along Salim avenue and a wonderful old bazaar and old quarter entered through a giant arched gate.
In the bazaar I met a shop-owner who spoke English and we agreed to meet that evening. He said he was from a town on the Iranian border and he was willing to have his cousin take me there, as well as Halabja and Ahmadawa, the two main sites outside Sulayamaniya. We went together and it was another great travel day.
His village was Tawela, a lovely village right on the edge (within two kilometres of the Iranian border) in a gorge surrounded by high mountains. Most of the actual frontier has been fenced by the Iranians. The border area is surrounded by impressive snow peaks.
As I come to the end of my time in Iraqi Kurdistan, I leave highly impressed by the what Iraqi Kurdistan has been able to accomplish in the last twenty years.The landscapes are gorgeous, and the place is fundamentally well organized and safe. It has been a privilege spending the last week here.
I am currently in Sulaymaniya (see Map), near the end of my sojourn in Iraqi Kurdistan. It is a fascinating place, very much off the beaten path, virtually devoid of international travelers, yet it is a safe and relatively inexpensive destination.
My first surprise came on arrival into Erbil International Airport from Amman, Jordan. My arrival in Amman was OK but slow, the airport older and crowded, and the process for getting a visa on arrival uncomplicated, but time consuming and somewhat cumbersome – get in line to change money into dinars at a bank, get into another line to pay 20 dinars to get the visa entry, get into another line to get through immigration.
By contrast, Erbil is a large, bright, brand new airport. The visa on arrival was free and stamped immediately into my passport and within a couple of minutes I was through and waiting for my bags.
Iraqi Kurdistan came into existence in 1991, during an uprising against the brutality of Saddam Hussein by the Kurds in March 1991. When Saddam tried to reassert control through an air campaign in April, the UN and the USA imposed a no-fly-zone, allowing the Kurds in the north of the country to maintain control over the region. As a result it was also spared direct involvement in the 2003 war in Arab Iraq. The Kurdish military, Peshmerga,controls almost all of the territory in Iraqi Kurdistan. In terms of personal security, while it may not be Norway or New Zealand, it is certainly as safe a destination as, say, Jordan,or Costa Rica, or Hungary.
Erbil, and indeed the other larger cities such as Sulaymaniya and Shaqlawa are booming with vast construction projects. On my first full day, I walked around Erbil and to the center of the city in the now crumbling Citadel which is undergoing reconstruction.
One of the advantages of the widespread accessibility of cell phones and cheap digital cameras is the emergence of photographic tourism in reverse. Various individuals and families would come up and ask if they could take a photo of me with them (their camera) usually with the Kurdish flag in the background. I was, of course, happy to oblige. It was also slightly odd to be walking through the streets of the city with signs pointing to cities made notorious by the Iraq war such as Baghdad, Mosul and Kirkuk.
For me the real adventure began when traveling north to Duhok and then deeper into northern Iraqi Kurdistan. Duhok is a crowded but somewhat appealing town with an extensive covered market and bazaar. I decided to hire a car and driver and we drove the following day tothe Yaviza temple at Lalish, Zakho and overnighted in Sulavm next to Amadiya.
On the route from Duhok to Zakho at the Turkish border the scenery became increasingly green and hilly. In Zakho I visited the famous Delal bridge, an old stone arch structure over the Khabur river. It was a pleasant site, without being particularly special. However, that deviation allowed us to take the northern route through more green hills and then, in the distance, a range of snow-capped mountains. As we drove towards Amadiya, the mountain range became ever more dramatic – reminding me of the Pyrenees. As we came to the crown jewel of Amadiya, I was blown away. My rough analogies would be of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan or Bonifacio at the southern tip of Corsica. The city is constructed and completely coversthe top of a butte at 1200 metres, with a backdrop of an extensive now-capped mountain range.Were it in any other place than Iraq, it would certainly have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The following day I continued to Barzan and then to Gali Ali Beg. Throughout the route, the panorama of soaring snow-capped mountain peaks continued. From there I took the Hamilton Road, constructed by the British in the late 1920’s and early 1930s as a strategic short cut to connect Erbil with Teheran and the Caspian Sea. The road goes through a deep gorge with cascading waterfalls.
We went as far as Chomran, the last town in Iraqi Kurdistan before the Iranian border at Haji Omran.
While major cities in Iraqi Kurdistan – Erbil, Sulumaniya and Duhok are packed with hotels, almost all of recent vintage, there is almost no accommodation elsewhere, even in places that virtually anywhere else would be mountain destinations with B&Bs, and niche hotels. Nowhere is this more true than in Amadiya. However, I did find accommodation in nearby Sulav. The Sulav hotel was basic, partly broken down, had only squat toilets, and had no heat, yet it was more than worthwhile to stay in one of the most gorgeous locations in the Middle East.
Individual reactions to my plans to visit Somaliland or Iraqi Kurdistan, often starts off with disbelief and then contempt that I would choose to be so careless. Yet the reality is more complex than that. While most of Iraq and Somalia remain lawless and dangerous, in both countries, de facto separate governments exist in parts of the country – with their own militaries, entry and exit procedures, numerous professional checkpoints and security, and are fundamentally safe to visit at this time.

Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don`t have to have a college degree to serve. You don`t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace.
To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be good is nobler and less trouble.
We are here on earth to do good for others. What the others are here for, I don`t know.
I`m not sure what fame is for if it isn`t to focus on charitable work.
I don`t believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you`re spending your time doing something worthwhile.
Always be nice to people whatever how bad they are to you. to show them that you are not like them.
No matter who you are, being kind is the easiest thing you can do.
What`s the point of doing something good if nobody`s watching?
The best portion of a good man`s life - his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

An ongoing project about the powerful ties I have with Hamilton, Ohio.
A Homefront Town in World War II.
A Battleground State in 2016.
Hamilton is all these things.
It is tied to the past yet emblematic of shift in political and socio-economic allegiances. I set out to capture this culture of resistance and fortitude, the rejection of modern tumult and a fading way of life taking its last breath with pride and defiance. Most of all, it is a town of great people. This journey is still helping me define the concept of "home".

I wanted to have some naan with my vegetable curry, but do not have the patience to make some now (with all the waiting!). So I made a quick search for roti–good, it does not need too much waiting, just 30 minutes for the dough to rest!
Mix the ingredients and knead. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Form into balls (we made 4). Flatten with a rolling pin.
We don’t have a tawa but we do have a very old, heavy wok that is so carbonised and proved perfect in this case. So….
Thank you so much 😊 for reference…now my site is http://lathiskitchen.org..

Nothing lifts the heart like a baby’s grin. The pediatric dentists at Jet Set Smiles in north Phoenix are all committed to ensuring that those grins are both cute and healthy. That’s why we join the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry in recommending infants visit the dentist when their first tooth appears, or no later than their first birthday.
At birth, an infant’s baby (primary) teeth are partly formed in the gums, and typically begin coming in (erupting) between six and twelve months of age. By age three, most children have twenty baby teeth. Baby teeth play an important role in proper chewing and speaking. They also serve as placeholders for the adult (permanent) teeth that will come in throughout childhood and early adulthood.
Tooth decay can occur as soon as the first tooth erupts; it’s most commonly caused by frequent, long-term exposure to sugary drinks, including milk and formula. Tooth decay in baby teeth can increase the risk of decay in permanent teeth. To help prevent decay, don’t put your child to bed with a bottle and begin regular oral hygiene at birth.
Early establishment of a “dental home” for your children sets them up for a lifetime of healthy oral health habits, including regular visits to the dentist. At Jet Set Smiles in north Phoenix, our goal is to make sure those cute baby grins turn into healthy, happy smiles for childhood and beyond.
