United States to send dozens of Hellfire missiles and ScanEagle surveillance drones to Iraq.
The Boeing Insitu ScanEagle is a small, low-cost, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) built by Insitu, a subsidiary of Boeing.
The move follows an appeal for help in battling the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, an al Qaeda-backed regional extremist group, by the Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, who met with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington last month. The group is gaining territory in both western Iraq and neighboring Syria.
According to the United Nations, this year has seen a sharp downturn in security that led to the deaths of more than 8,000 Iraqis, the highest level of violence since 2008.
In a statement issued by the U.S. State Department on Sunday, spokesperson Jen Psaki said that the radical group is a common enemy of the U.S. and Iraq and a threat to the Middle East region.
U.S. officials told the New York Times that the aid was significant because Iraq had virtually run out of Hellfire missiles.
The combination of the air-to-ground missiles, tactical drones and intelligence supplied by the U.S. is intended to augment limited Iraqi ability, the report said.
The AGM-114 Hellfire is an air-to-surface missile (ASM) developed primarily for anti-armor use.

Try this in Winter :: learn a new skill, or rediscover an old one.
During these cold winter months whilst the days are short and the evenings draw in far quicker than we’d like, the time is ripe for picking up a new skill, or, as I am, rediscovering an old one.
I unravelled all my previous efforts (they were looking a little shabby-not to mention dusty- after lingering unfinished for months on end) and now am starting afresh. It’s the loveliest way to pass a cold wintery day- tucked up indoors, layered up with blankets, counting stitches and getting totally absorbed in the task at hand.
Try this :: festive baking.
Try this :: get lost in the countryside.
Try this :: have a hot chocolate picnic.

Notwithstanding Central Food Laboratory report claiming higher pesticide content than EU norms, Pepsi said its products were "perfectly safe".
Notwithstanding Thursday's Central Food Laboratory report claiming higher pesticide content in soft drinks than EU norms, Pepsi said that its products were "perfectly safe" and were produced as per global quality standards.
"We reiterate that our products are perfectly safe and are produced in accordance with best international practices and conform to the best international quality standards," Pepsi said in a statement.
It referred to the statement of Health Minister Sushma Swaraj in Parliament on August 21, in which she had "comprehensively covered the safety and health issues of our products".
But, Swaraj said on Thursday that the Central Food Laboratory found some of the soft drink samples of Pepsi and Coca-Cola contained much higher levels of pesticides such as lindane and DDT than permissible under the EU norms.
The findings showed that lindane was present in all the soft drinks that were tested but was higher by 1.1 to 1.4 times the Eurpoean norms in 33 per cent of the samples.
Also, many of the samples contained DDT and metabolites above the EEC norms while another pesticide, chlorpyriphos was also present in all the samples, it showed.

Before we starting raising funds, we attended a training conference where we met some amazing other people who were also beginning their journey of raising support. Through bi-weekly conference calls, we have walked through this journey together, and it’s been so encouraging to have a community of other people all in this with us.
At that conference, we also found out where our first placement, and future home would be: Dayton, OH. If you followed my blog back then, you might remember from this post, that I went through vast range of differing emotions when we received this news. For no rational reason, I really didn’t want to live in Dayton, and therefore was really upset at first. But after an angry conversation with God, a lot of tears, encouraging conversations with friends, and some help from Jonah, I realized it was God’s plan. And if I knew anything about God’s plans, it’s that they are always better than we think or imagine. Especially when we’re imagining them to be horrible.
Over the past year, Stuart and I have had a few opportunities to spend time in Dayton, (more specifically, Xenia) and get to know some of the other Athletes in Action staff we’ll be working with. And let me tell you, I was completely correct about God’s plans being better than our plans. Now that we’ve gotten a taste of the community we are entering into, I couldn’t be more excited to live and work in Dayton. The team we’ll be working with is awesome, and there is amazing community of staff members in the area, due to AIA headquarters being right in Xenia. We’ve already been contacted by staff there welcoming us into the community, asking if they can provide meals for us, and offering help in any other form needed.
This support raising journey has been a long road, filled with ups and downs, encouragement and discouragement, laughter and tears, happiness and sorrow. But through it all God remained faithful to us, and provided for our every need. Within those 71 weeks, we lived in 3 different homes, fell in love with CrossFit, said goodbye to my grandmother, drove back and forth between Indiana and Philadelphia 6 times, spent the night in the hospital twice when I had kidney stones, and most excitingly, welcomed our son, Knox into the world.
This journey has definitely not always been easy. There were many times I grew so weary that I wanted to give up, but thankfully, I had the support of my amazing husband, who encouraged me to press on, that God would be faithful to follow through with His calling on our lives. I learned many new levels of perseverance, and I’m so glad I stuck with it. God is so good, and now that we’re at the end of this road, I can honestly say every difficult day was worth it, because it taught me so much and strengthened my faith in deeper ways.
Last week, after our support coach checked our support off as complete, Stuart flew out to Indiana, and drove down to Xenia with his Dad to find us a place to live. Again, God proved Himself as provider for us, and directed Stuart to the most perfect rental house ever!! All along, we hoped for a home that could be a ministry in and of itself. We hope to keep our door open to the students we serve, as a home away from home, and provide a safe place for them if they need to process life. We also hope as Knox’s first home, it is one filled with love, laughter, happiness and an early understanding of who Jesus is.
It has 3 bedrooms, so if any of you who are reading this want to come visit, you will always have a place to stay with us!

Process Lasso is a process optimization and automation utility with a unique new technology. That will improve your PC’s responsiveness and stability during periods of high CPU load. Priority optimization, affinity optimization, automated rules, you name it and Process Lasso has it.
Process Lasso’s unique technology called ProBalance (Process Balance) will improve your PC’s responsiveness and stability through process priority optimization. Windows allows programs to monopolize your CPU without sufficient restraint. It leads to hangs and micro-lags.
ProBalance intelligently adjusts the priorities of running programs on-demand. So that badly behaved processes won’t negatively impact the responsiveness of your PC. It does this not by raising process priorities, but instead by temporarily lowering the priorities of background processes that may be interfering with foreground responsiveness.
This utility also offers an assortment of ways to take full control of how your CPUs are allocated to running programs.
In essence, Process Lasso is an all-in-one automated Windows process tuner. You can choose at what priority processes should run, and which CPUs should be assigned to them. In addition, you can disallow certain programs from running, log all programs run, automatically restart programs, limit the number of instances of a program, and much more. You can even indicate processes that should induce entrance into the High Performance power scheme or prevent the PC from sleeping. A gaming mode also allows for easy process priority optimization for avid gamers.
Process Lasso is the ultimate companion to servers of all types. For Terminal Servers it can help ensure no user monopolizes the CPU. For all types of servers its ProBalance algorithm can improve responsiveness. Furthermore, the automated process control can allow you to tweak running processes in ways never before possible.
ProBalance – Keep your PC responsive during high CPU loads!
This program is fantastic for managing resources on low powered computers, but the price is quite high, and the license is valid for only 1 year. I'm using an old non-upgradable giveaway and will probably buy it when a reasonable offer appears.
All this program does is play with your system resources. If your running a lot of programs in the background and then you launch a new application, Process Lasso just transfers already used resources to the program being launced so that it loads quicker. It does nothing to your CPU voltage settings or anything of the sort.
Best cpu optimizer and manager! No more lag!
know that if somebody tested and tried it to work well or not ?!

Hi I’m KarmaKaii, Or just Kai really. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. I went to California Institute Of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where I was blessed with a really well rounded, holistic education on psychology and healing. I believe life, and wellness is dependent on our abilities to cultivate and maintain balance, physically, mentally and spiritually.
For me this means taking care of my body, this earth and the creatures on it by eating a vibrant, sustainable, compassionate, plant based diet. This also means developing my mind, body & spirit connection through yoga, exercise, and meditation.
I have a deep passion for nature. I like to spend my spare time hiking, going to the beach or just soaking in the wonders of the northern California Coast. I love crystals and stones and am drawn to the energy they produce. In my etsy shop you can find jewelry I make incorporating elements of nature, be they crystals, flowers, or bugs.
I’m passionate on helping people discover their true nature through their healing process of connecting and strengthening mind, body, and soul.

Atrial Fibrillation(AF) is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by a rapid and irregular beating pattern. When AF strikes, the heart begins to beat incredibly quickly, typically between 300 and 600 beats a minute. To give you an idea of just how substantial this spike in heart beat is, a normal resting heart beats at roughly 60 to 70 times per minute. AF is most common in people over the age of 50. After you have reached 50 years of age, the chances of being affected by AF doubles every subsequent decade.
What does it mean to experience Atrial Fibrillation?
As you can see, the conditions that AF might be a symptom of are serious. That is why it is crucial to make an appointment with your doctor or a health care professional immediately after an AF attack. Getting diagnosed early can make a world of difference. For example, thromboembolisms can possibly lead to a stroke or even death if not dealt with in a timely fashion.
Conversely, AF can be caused by less serious factors like dehydration or an imbalance in the body’s electrolytes. Whatever the cause may be, it is still critical to get an official diagnosis.
Treatments for AF varies based on the cause of it. For example, if your AF has been caused by high blood pressure, typical treatments would include medication, increased exercise, and a healthier diet.
Blood clots are often associated with AF. To prevent the formation of blood clots, patients are usually prescribed blood-thinning medications. If you are taking these types of medications designed to thin the blood, you will need to receive periodic blood tests to ensure the medication is working as it should. The reason the prevention of blood clots is so important, is that if a blood clot forms in your body and eventually reaches the brain it could result in a stroke.
Other methods of treatment include ways to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat.
One way to achieve this is through medications that slow down the heart rate to normal level. Although this method does not eradicate the irregular heart beat, it does reduce the heart rate and has a calming effect.
For patients that are not having success with heart rate control medications, an alternative is to take medications that control the rhythm of the heart. This is a fairly new approach, and long term effects are not yet entirely known. People undergoing this type of treatment will need to be monitored to determine if the heart has restored to a normal rhythm.
If these methods are not working, a more serious tactic may be taken such as implanting a pacemaker to restore the heart’s regular rhythm.

On the issue of defining algorithm fairness, most stakeholders rated as a good or reasonable starting point: “a context-dependent evaluation of the algorithm processes and/or outcomes against socio-cultural values. Typical examples might include evaluating: the disparity between best and worst outcomes; the sum-total of outcomes; worst-case scenarios; everyone is treated/processed equally without prejudice or advantage due to task-irrelevant factors”. To this, additional suggestions were made focusing on criteria relating to social norms and values, system reliability, and the non-interference with user control/agency (see page 7). When thinking of issues related to algorithm design, participant recommendations focused on transparency and duty of care to society as well as target users/customers (see page 9).
Fake news case study: regarding fake news, the focus of the discussion was on the nature of fake news, not a new phenomenon and lack of evidence of actual impacts, paired with a focus on education, critical reading skills, trustmark/branding and breaking the link with financial profit as main solutions. To the extent that algorithms might play a role, it was noted that market research is suggesting that people don’t want personally tailored news (see page 10).
Personalisation algorithms case study: regarding personalisation, it was suggested that services marketed as personalisation should really be called task based channelling since the ‘user type categorizations’ don’t really address personal goals. It was proposed that the use of personalisation can be useful for object and commercial purposes but that it is not appropriate when applied to dissemination of socially important information like news coverage. This led to discussion about levels of control that users should have (see page 10).
Gaming the system case study: the impact of gaming of systems like search rankings was closely linked to a general lack of awareness about how such rankings are determined and how to interpret the meaning of a ranking. It was highlighted that regulation regarding censorship focuses on removal of content, but not on placement within a ranking even though a very low ranking can often mean that something is effectively removed from peoples’ awareness. In terms of solutions one idea that came up was the use of greater user input, through ratings feedback, to help signal the difference between search ranking and content validity (see page 10).
Algorithm transparency case study: discussion on his topic started from observations about need to clarify meaningful transparency (posting source code vs. understanding the process). This in turn requires clarity about the purpose of transparency, is it about fairness or trust? The importance of the data as integral part in determining algorithm bias was raised as well as the need to understand the users. Avoiding ‘gaming the system’ while still providing transparency was discussed with solutions focusing on intermediate auditing organisations and certification (see page 11).
Plenary discussion and conclusions: discussion of the four case studies raised a number of recurrent key points that were returned to in the plenary discussion that closed the workshop. Debate amongst the participants was very productive and highlighted that: 1) the ‘problem’ of potential bias and unfairness in algorithmic practice is broad in scope, has the potential to disproportionately affect vulnerable users (such as children), and may be worsened by the current absence of effective regulation and market pluralism of online platforms; 2) the problem is also nuanced as the presence of algorithms on online platforms can be of great benefit to assist users achieve their goals; so it is important to avoid any implication that their role is always harmful; and 3) that finding solutions to the problem is highly complex. The effective regulation of algorithmic practice would appear to require accountability and responsibility on the part of platforms and other agencies combined with the meaningful transparency of the algorithms themselves.
The next steps for the UnBias stakeholder engagement work-package are to run further workshops. These will increasingly focus on issues of regulation and how it might be possible to identify practices to support algorithmic fairness that are both technically feasible and socially, ethically and legally valid. We will also run a parallel online questionnaire panel to seek the informed opinion of stakeholders who are unable to attend the workshops in person.

The major feature of the Gretton Music Festival 2011 was venue after venue sold out across the village.
The programme kicked off on Friday night to a full house at The Talbot with local talent Alive Again featuring James Talbot & Sam Powell. Whilst at the other end of the High Street, The Blue Bell resembled a Japanese Tube Train with no room to move for the new local acoustic super group "Unplugged & Thirsty"
Fortunately Saturday offered space to move and groove to traditional Peruvian melodies with "Cosmic Inca" at The Blue Bell, mainly due to the village Hall reporting a record turn out for the virtuoso mandolin, elegant vocals and guitar and fiddle wizardry of Simon Mayor and Hilary James.
Sunday’s highlight was undoubtedly the Welsh operatic baritone Mark Evans who joined the international opera soloists for a sold out Summer Gala Concert in a packed St James Church. Mark’s performance demonstrated why he has been selected to sing with all the major opera companies in the U.K. as well as touring throughout America with London City Opera. Mark’s performance was delayed as the congregation from a packed Gretton Baptist Chapel made their way from singing their favourite hymns.
Monday afternoon saw the Hatton Arms bursting at the seams and over spilling to the car park during the immensely very popular "Open Mic Sessions". If you weren’t there you missed a real treat.
Finally the festival was closed to a full house at both The Blue Bell’s who featured "Replica” playing acoustic covers, and The Talbot with the popular vocal duo "Kelly & Hayley".
The verdict at the end of a very hectic weekend was summed up in four words – “See you next year!”.

Solstice Canyon offers an easy no-fuss walk alongside a flowing creek in a wide canyon. The big attraction on this 2.6-mile round trip hike is a small waterfall next to interesting ruins. Solstice Canyon is a great venue for a picnic and a stroll. The wide trail is so level it can be walked in flip-flops, making this one of the most family-friendly hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains.
Woolsey Fire Update: Solstice Canyon has reopened following the November 2018 Woolsey Fire. Check the NPS Solstice Canyon webpage for more information.
Canyon Trail is the main drag in Solstice Canyon, and easy to follow. Starting from the Solstice Canyon Education Shelter, take the wide trail heading west from the parking lot. To the left flows Solstice Canyon Creek, and scattered picnic tables can be found along the early portion of the trail.
After crossing the creek, the trail turns right and proceeds upstream, remaining level as sycamores, oaks, and alders provide intermittent shade. In the springtime, flowers bloom amongst the chaparral.
The trail ends at the ruins of Roberts Ranch House, called the Tropical Terrace. Designed by architect Paul Williams and built in 1952, the brick structures found harmony with nature by incorporating the creek, waterfall, and landscape into their design. The house must have been a relaxing retreat, until it was burned down by wildfires in 1982. The remaining foundations are now protected by the National Park Service. Several walls and fireplaces still stand as well as the outline of a pool. Palms surround the ruins, providing the tropical ambiance.
The history of this favorite homestead site included many fires so Fred (Roberts) insisted that fire protection be incorporated into the design. The visually striking pools supplied water for an elaborate pump system to protect the home from fires. However, the pumps and pipes were not maintained after Fred’s death and the home was lost in the 1982 Dayton Canyon Fire. The surviving features provide a unique opportunity to walk through a blueprint of a Paul R. Williams design.
Today wildfires remain a concern, and parts of Solstice Canyon have burned as recently as 2007, resulting in a temporary closure of the park.
Just beyond the ruins, a short waterfall spills down the creek into a sequence of rock pools. This is a great place to spend some time exploring. Several smaller ruins along the bank of the creek can be discover. Return the way you came. This hike has 300 feet of elevation change. Dogs are welcome. No fee or permit is required, so get out and enjoy!
A handful of other trails explore Solstice Canyon. Those looking for more of a challenge should try the Deer Valley Loop off Sostomo Trail. The 3.9 miles of undulating trail offer occasional ocean views and plenty of good exercise.
To get to the trailhead: Take PCH to Malibu and turn inland on Corral Canyon Road (West of Malibu Canyon Road and Pepperdine University at the intersection with the 76 gas station). The park entrance is on the left, just around the first bend in the road. Expect a full parking lot on weekends.
These photos were taken in August of 2009 and May of 2012. Click to enlarge.
This 3-mile out and back hike visits a remote grotto in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Did this particular hike on my Birthday weekend. Was very much looking forward to it. It was a good hike, but somewhat disappointing for me. I guess I had built up the ruins in my mind so that I was expecting so much more. However, it is beautiful and had some great ocean views. Will try this one again, also.
Has anyone just kept going? Can you just go all the way to Mulholland Highway?
The Roberts Ranch House ruins have been significantly vandalized with graffiti. It looks like the group that did it also damaged some of the stone and brick work that had otherwise survived the fire and remained intact for 30 some years since.
I was there this weekend for the first time in a few years. I was disappointed at how crowded the park was, and how noisy the many groups of people were. Previous visits were serene and quiet. Now, even if you couldn’t see other people, you could hear their loud conversations. Too bad.
do you know if the hike is 2.6 miles there and back or just there?
2.6 miles is the round trip distance (there and back).
Is the Solstice Canyon Trail open to bicycles or just foot traffic?
The few people that I did see on the trail last Tuesday were very friendly. Saw a deer, some quail, and the waterfall was still waterfalling in August! Lots of things off trail to explore. I’ll definitely bring back all of my easily winded (read: out of shape) friends.
Is there a place along the trail that we can swim or play in the water?
You won’t find enough water to swim, but the creek is easy to access near the trailhead and by the ruins.
Is there a telephone number for Solstice Canyon?
can you backpacking camp sites here? If so what route do I take? Is the water drinkable if I filter it?
can you camp overnight here?
Solstice Canyon does not have a campground. You might want to check out nearby Malibu Creek State Park Campground.
Lost an earring on 10/19 on Solstice Canyon. Gold with blue stones. Sentimental value! Please lmk if u found it. Reward for return.
Anyone know if this is open? Reports say closed due to fire in November 2018.
Solstice Canyon is still closed.
Hello – is this trail still closed?

Apparently thirtieth birthdays are to be celebrated by gluttony for three straight days, or maybe it was four. I have a hard time remembering because of the food coma I've been slipping in and out of these last few days. It started Thursday evening with Indian food and just went down hill from there. The girls at work took me out for lunch on Friday where I had fried rice, fried egg-roll, sesame chicken (battered with crack) that was also fried. That night I ate an entire chili-cheese hamburger by myself and slice of carrot cake from La Baguette's. Saturday I met my family for brunch at VZDs before heading off to the Oklahoma History Museum (pictures coming soon). Chris and I finished the day with dinner at the Olive Garden.
And then today, I broke my "thou shall not eat buffets when starving" rule and stuffed myself silly at the Chinese buffet. I'll probably have a piece of cake for dinner tonight.
I think I'll go on a fast this week.
Thanks to all for the Happy Birthday wishes!

The Gateway of India was built during the British Raj in Mumbai. Located on the waterfront in the Apollo Bunder area in South Mumbai, the monument is companioned by the Arabian Sea. The gateway is a basalt arch, 26 meters (85 feet) high and lies at the end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Marg at the water\'s edge in the harbor of Bombay. Previously, a crude jetty used by the fishing community, it was later renovated and used as a landing place for British governors and other prominent people.
The Hanging Gardens in Mumbai, India are also known as Pheroze shah Mehta Gardens. These Gardens are terraced gardens perched at the top of Malabar Hill, on its western side, just opposite the Kamala Nehru Park. They provide sunset views over the Arabian Sea and feature numerous hedges. The park was laid out in 1881 over Bombay\'s main reservoir to cover the water from the potentially contaminating activity of the nearby Towers of Silence. Break for Lunch while 1:00 Hrs (own expense).After Lunch continued as per mention Itinerary.
Hare Krishna Land is set upon four acres of prime land and a stone throw away from Juhu beach, Mumbai. Founder of ISKCON inspired the construction of one of India’s most beautiful temple of Lord Krishna in Mumbai. The presiding Deities at the temple were personally installed by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. In early 70’s when Juhu was considered a remote and obscure part of the city, to envision a temple was beyond anyone’s imagination.
Juhu Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Mumbai as this beach may be accessed from the suburbs of Vile Parle, Santacruz and Andheri. Many tourists make it a point to visit the beach when they come to Mumbai, as it is a relatively uncrowned free space in the city. Juhu is famous for its Mumbai street food, notably bhelpuri, panipuri, and pav bhaji. The food stands are relatively hygienic and Italian food is also very popular in Juhu with many Italian restaurants. Dinner and Over Night stay at hotel.
After Breakfast Check out from hotel (11:00 Hrs) put your luggage in clock room under hotels custody, Then Visits as per mention Itinerary.
The Haji Ali Dargah is located on an islet off the coast of Worli in the Southern Mumbai. Near the heart of the city proper, the dargah is one of the most recognisable landmarks of city. An exquisite example of Indian Islamic architecture, the dargah contains the tomb of Sayed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari. The Haji Ali Dargah was constructed in 1431 in memory of a rich Muslim merchant, Sayyed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari who gave up all his worldly possessions before going to Mecca. The Dargah is built on a tiny islet located 500 meters from the coast, in the middle of Worli Bay, in the vicinity of Worli. The edifice is a brilliant specimen of the Indo-Islamic style of architecture. The six-hundred-year-old dargah structure constantly erodes, due to saline winds and the impact of 80,000 visitors per week. While extensive renovations were carried out in 1960 and 1964, the most recent structural upgrade of the dargah started in October 2008. Dinner and Over Night stay at hotel.

India is said to be fairly good in space science, atomic science and ocean science and technology.Indian Party for Development and Democracy is of the view, that experiments should be undertaken on a large scale to make artificial rains, for reducing atmospheric temperatures during hot summers ,increasing temperatures during cold winters, other modifications of weather like controlling, preventing/inducing storms etc. Some operations/experiments are already being undertaken in certain parts of the world and the aim of the proposed experiments is to refine these technologies.
Indian Party for Development and Democracy (IPDD) would not launch violent or peaceful agitations against the government demanding closure of liquor shops and bringing prohibition in the state. Closure of liquor shops would not make addicts to give up drinking. They will find other sources. So IPDD would organize party workers and common people to gather peacefully around the liquor shops and plead with the customers going to the shops, to desist from drinking. IPDD would also arrange for establishment of de-addiction centres with the assistance of philanthropists, and also find other ways of weaning away the addicts from drinking. IPDD firmly believes that when hundreds of volunteers plead, at least a few would listen and give up drinking alcohol. If this is continued on holidays for a few months, liquor related sad events will decrease. The peaceful gatherings should only be on holidays so that production of goods and services do not suffer.
i.there will be no need for Community(Caste) Certificates as there would be no discrimination for or against any caste while extending concessions, benefits etc.
iv.there will be no need for applying for separate patta for land as this will be done automatically by the revenue department on forwaring purchase/sale deed from the office of Sub-Registrar.
vi. There will be no need for ration cards as there will be no ration.. All able bodied people will be provided employment with decent salary. Those unable to do any work will be provided food, clothing, shelter in hostels financed by government.
vii. There will be no need for cooking gas cards, as everyone will be able to buy cooking gas in the open market. Since there is shortage of cooking gas, government itself in the initial stage produce and distribute biogas, solar cookers, solar heaters, etc.
viii.there will be no need for environment clearance, as government will itself prevent pollution on collection of fee from industries just as garbage is collected by local bodies.
ix.there will be no need for applicants for licences/permissions to obtain and forward to the licence/approval issuing authorities No Objection Certificates from various offices like fire department, thasildar’s office. Village Administrative Officer, health department, etc., as these will be obtained directly by licence/approval issuing office.
x. there will be no need for the public to visit any government office personally for any service, as applications can be sent by post or online and the approval/certificat will be sent by post or by email.
xii.there will be no corruption, as in most cases, applicants do not meet the officials and the possibilities of officials asking bribe is almost nil.
xiii.There will be no overloading in trains, buses, trucks etc, as additional trains,buses, trucks will be deployed and roads will be wider and thee will be additional rail lines.
xiv. there will be no need for reservation in government jobs for any community as there will be adequate jobs in the public and private sector and the salary level and other facilities in these sectors will be more or less same.
xv.there will be no need for government to extend subsidies to farmers,consumers etc as the prices will be allowed to be determined by market forces. Only in unusual circumstances,the government would interfere.
xvi.there will be no power-cuts as adequate power will be generated from non-conventional sources like sun, wind, waves, biomass, urban waste/garbage etc.
xvii.in all cities, towns and major panchayats, electric trains/buses will be run.
1. government would sanction full fees concession and scholarships to cover educational expenses as well as mess charges to all students irrespective of the community and the income of the parents. A student from rich family secures very high marks, it is the duty of the government to encourage him to study better by offering fee concession and scholarship.
2,the government will not give fee concession or scholarships even to backward community students and poor students if they are not doing well in studies. But at the same time, their interests will be ascertained and they will be encouraged to pursue those interests- such as vocational studies, setting up small business, undertaking agriculture, manufacturing on a samll scale etc.
3.The amount of the scholarships will be so much that the students need not depend on the parents for expenses on education.
4. The students will automatically get fee concession if their marks are above certain level. They need not even apply for the same.
Increasing number of working days for public and private sector employees.
If the Indian Partyfor Development and Democracy were in power, the government would restore the old system wherein government employees, employees of banks, factories etc. worked for 6 days in a week, but for shorter periods i.e. about 7 hours for 6 days against 8 hours for 5 days in a week at present. This is to ensure that the production of goods and services is increased and also work culture is nurtured. The productivity of the employees in India is at present low compared to employees in other developing countries like Vietnam. Further with higher number of holidays in a week, employees’ interests are diverted and they tend to spend time even in offices in discussing politics, films, sports etc. Deep knowledge on politics, films, sports etc. is not a virtue to be acquired at the expense of office work.
The IPDD government would also not facilitate employees spending time on internet while in office.At present most of the employees have access to internet and this not only takes time from office work but also diverts the attention of employees from office work.
In the name of seeking people’s views on various issues, the central government is making people to spend more time on internet and less time on work. It is high time the government reviews its policy in this matter.
If the INDIAN PARTY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND DEMOCRACY(IPDD) were in power applicants for any approval or service from government would need to contact only the approving authority. All clearances will be obtained by the approving authority. For example, for approval for running the school, the school administration will apply only to the Education authorities (DEO/CEO) and the latter will make references to fire service, health department and Thasildar for their clearances. The applicant will contact only the Education authorities and no other authorities. Thus there will be no possibilities for corruption in other departments like fire, health and revenue. These authorities cannot also delay their clearance beyond the time stipulated by Education authorities. Similarly for industrial licences, applicants would need to contact only the industry department. The sub-registrar who registers the transfer(sale/purchase) of land will be responsible for changing the Patta also by the revenue department and for changing electricity service in the name of new owner of the property. The new owner wprocedures,ould need to contact only the sub-registrar..
At present the servicing department makes references to several departments even when there is no need to make references. The servicing department also asks for several documents and information which could be avoided. IPDD government will review the procedures with a view to reduce the documents and information to be provided by applicants. This will eliminate/ minimise delay and chances for corruption.
IPDD government will extend concessions,subsidies etc.to all people irrespective of caste, religion, income level, region/nativity etc and thus no one would need caste certficate, income certificate, nativity certificate etc. and the chances of corruption in issuing these certificates will be eliminated.
A large number of jobs will be created both in the purblic and private sector and there will be no difference in the salaries level. Corruption in recruitment will be eliminated all together.
Issue of licences and permits where unavoidable will be transparent and reasons for awarding or refusing licence etc will be recorded clearly and these records will be available for public to see.
Even when a decision of an authority later on proves to be wrong, when taken in good faith will not be questioned.
The above measures will reduce corruption to a large extent.
Certain simple basic administrative reforms will have great impact on the economy. INDIAN PARTY FOR DEVELOPMENT AND DEMOCRACY(IPDD) is of the view that retirement age of employees in the government and private sector should be increased by 2 years considering also, the increase in the longevity in India.Central and State Governments need not recruit any employee for two years leading to savings. The governments need not sanction new pension to any employee for two years. This will add to the savings. The government will pay pension for shorter(by two years) periods.
At present fresh Government Clerks, Elementary School teachers, Constables, etc. are drawiing more salary than many fresh software engineers, This is not fair. Since the salaries of existing officials should not be changed to their disadvantage, IPDD is of the view that lower posts of Assistant Clerks, Asst. Teachers, etc. should be created with substantially lower salaries. The present officials should be given higher responsibilities and the new recruits should have the current responsibilities of Clerks etc. The present posts of Clerks etc.should be promotion posts for new officials. By this way, government can effect savings. Those possessing minimum academic qualifications should be preferred, for those with higher educational qualifications as the latter may not take the work seriously.
Promotions should be made purely on merit. At present promotion for most of the posts is by seniority and hence officers do not take much interest in their work.
The promotions should be made purely by merit.

When I started my cadetship in journalism at the Goulburn Post newspaper in the New South Wales southern tablelands in 1987, I quickly learned not to waste space. Back then the Post was an evening paper with an on site printing press. Most mornings were a mad rush to gather and finish news stories before the midday deadline.
Early in my cadetship, I made the mistake of using the word 'commence' in an article. When I filed that story, a seasoned sub-editor called me over and explained that the paper's style (and indeed the style of most publications) was to avoid the word 'commence'.
Why? 'Start' and 'begin' mean the same thing and are simpler and shorter. When you factor in the double-em in 'commence', you can save about five characters by using one of the alternatives. That gives you space for another word—always welcome when you are writing to a certain length.
Some people argue that 'commence' sounds more formal. Maybe, but in journalism the simpler option is usually the better option.
Sometimes you have to use a derivative of 'commence' to describe a formal speech or dinner. But ever since my days as a cadet, I've tried to avoid 'commence'. It's a waste of space!

For smokers who've managed to quit, the road to fully repairing lungs damaged by the habit may seem like a long one.
A new study suggests that eating two tomatoes a day helps in slowing down the natural lung function decline. Ex smokers, the study adds, could benefit most of all.
Michigan State University (MSU)'s Robert Last studied tomatoes. Specifically, he conducted research on their hair, or trichomes.
A Russian company has imported the first lot of tomatoes from Syria as Moscow keeps its restrictions on importing some food items from Turkey.
In a new study, a team of scientists has traced the activity of the cancer-fighting tomato component.
Harvard University researchers have suggested that cooked tomatoes are more beneficial than fresh ones.

Chicago Grey’s crown will be handed over to another Irish chaser tomorrow in the shape of WP Mullins’s Soll. See him in the flesh and you’ll be forgiven for double-taking, as this son of Presenting - built muscular, with a dark, liver chestnut coat and a huge pair of lungs – resembles famous Cheltenham favourite Denman.
Soll, who will be ridden by Katy Walsh, has drifted from favouritism in the market, with Mullins’ son Patrick preferring stable companion Allee Garde, and Sir Alex Ferguson’s Paul Nicholls trained gelding Harry the Viking slightly shorter with most bookmakers. Most punters will appreciate both the decision-making significance of the younger Mullins and the experience of Allee Garde, so it’s difficult to argue against him, but everything I’ve heard coming from his father suggests confidence in Soll, particularly with regards to his credentials over a longer distance. You pays your money, you takes your chance, as the ridiculous saying goes.
Other contenders exist in the shape of Teaforthree (who I last saw pull up behind Grands Crus in the Feltham at the Kempton Park Boxing Day meeting), Alfie Spinner (who won at Chepstow over 3m at Christmas, finished 3rd behind Invictus and Bobs Worth, ahead of Silviniaco Conti at Ascot in February and is partnered by “The Dentist” tomorrow), Universal Soldier at 14-1 (who’s been beaten by Teaforthree in the past) and Four Commanders (who’s been there or thereabouts this year and has a couple of wins at half the distance asked of him here). It’s 20-1 bar, but don’t let that put you off looking further down the betting for some value. Four out of the last 10 winners of this stamina-testing four-miler were priced up greater than 25-1, and Chicago Grey was the first outright favourite to win the “Challenge Cup” in 20 years, offering perhaps a tenuous reason to oppose Allee Garde at the head of the market. Please feel free to accuse me of myopia with regards to this one though, as I’ve had my eye on Soll for some time now, and am probably not the most objective blogger to ask for a more balanced opinion!
If Soll can tank home tomorrow it will hand Mullins a title that, as a jockey 30 years ago, he won for his father, triumphant in 1982 on board a horse called Hazy Dawn. Backers who got 12-1 about Soll a few weeks ago will undoubtedly be celebrating for the rest of tomorrow afternoon’s racing and well on into the west country dusk.
Listen to Sportingbet.com’s “Cheltenham Chat” to hear why Soll is my tip for the week.

Banks should provide evidence of the quality of service – such as the frequency of security incidents – to allow customers to compare accounts.
The time taken to open an account or to replace a lost or stolen card should also be published, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said.
Such service guides should make it easier to compare accounts, the FCA said.
The industry welcomed the proposals, which could take effect next year.
The proposals also cover business current accounts, and suggest quarterly publication of a string of service guides, such as how and when customers can make payments, cancel cheques and whether 24-hour help is available, or the amount of time before access to a current account is available through power of attorney.
The frequency of security incidents would be closely watched as, at the moment, there is little evidence available abouit the number of times bank services are unavailable due to security or operational incidents.
A spokeswoman for UK Finance, which represents the major banks, said: “Banks work hard to ensure the products and services they offer meet customers’ needs – this initiative is a positive step that will make it easier for consumers and businesses to compare the quality of service offered by different current accounts.
Consultation ends on 25 September, with a proposal that figures should be collected from April and first published in mid-August 2018.

Let’s face it, we all had bad races. I know, I’ve had my fair share.
But the variety of excuses is incredible. So I compiled a list of excuses my athletes have used, as well as those from Olympic and Elite athletes. In fact, I have used some of these myself… several of them.
I was saving myself for the Finals. Don’t believe me? Read my story here.
My spikes were too tight (or too loose)… or my laces got undone.
The starting blocks didn’t feel right. Even Usain Bolt mentioned how the blocks gave him a hard time at Beijing 2015 WC.

I am increasingly disturbed by what is going on in our world. I pray that the occupy movement really and genuinely takes root and that it wins.
Just this week alone - the US Senate passed a bill with a vote of 93-7 to allow any American Citizen to be taken into custody by the military and held indefinitely without trial if he/she is suspected of being a terrorist. And what does he or she have to do to be suspected? Have a cache of bombs in his basement? Sure - but a supply of more than 7 days of food will do.
The Egyptian military has declared that it will decide what the new constitution will be - and it will not relinquish its control.
Canada has signed a security pact with the US that will allow its police to operate in our country.
The Pentagon is actively arming and militarizing the police.
I could go on. It all adds up to a facist state.
We are now living in a facist country. Did you know that when Diefenbaker and Pearson were prime ministers there was one press person in Parliament who handled communications? Today there are 1,500 who massage what we read and hear.
We have to revolt. The definition of facism is when the state and corporation go to bed together. This is facism. Obama is in bed with Goldman Sachs and Harper is in bed with the oil companies.
We have to occupy our country.
And we must not give up - not give up hope and not give up our freedom.
My mother has told me her story of being a young woman in Hitler's Germany - Everything was perfectly fine at first - and then one tiny right after another was stripped away - so gradually that it was hard to notice until suddenly it was too late.

Last year, Tanqueray resurrected Tanqueray Malacca Gin, a product that it had killed almost a decade ago. It was a surprising move – why would Diageo bring back an old, discontinued product for a small limited time release? When you look at the numbers for the gin category, it must have been an fairly difficult pitch by the Tanqueray team to get Diageo to greenlight the special limited release. If you just look at volume, gin doesn’t really seem like a blockbuster spirit. In 2013, total volume for the gin category was down a whopping 3.8% (source: DISCUS) with a 0.6% drop in gross revenue. Hardly compelling data, and on paper not nearly enough to justify investing significant money producing and distributing a limited release product.
It’s when you start to look at the broader picture of gin that the move begins to make more sense. Yes, general volume may have declined last year, but that drop was mostly at the very low end of the gin category, categorized as “value gin”. These gins are the ones on the bottom shelf of liquor and grocery stores and often are sold in giant liter bottles rather than conventional 750ml. It was at this end of the category where the volume dropped the most (-6.9%), but that drop was offset by some significant growth in the high end gin space, which saw a 5% growth in volume and an impressive 6.3% growth in gross revenue. It turns out that people are drinking less ‘bad’ gin and drinking a lot more ‘good’ gin.
The real story of gin extends beyond the raw sales numbers. If you go to any craft cocktail bar in the world, odds are you’ll see several classic gin drinks on the menu. In the 1800s, gin was an extremely popular spirit, and as such it was used as the base for many of the great classic cocktails, like the Martini, Negroni, Aviation, and Bijou. Gin has been a key element in the craft cocktail revolution and a spirit that many craft bartenders are passionate about. Part of this passion comes out of the sheer opportunity to change perceptions about gin in the United States.
For a number of reasons, gin has gotten an unfairly bad reputation in the United States, where you’re more likely to find people who say they hate gin than love it. This “gin resistance” is fairly regionalized to the United States and seems to dramatically dissipate when you look toward other countries. Why is gin so beloved in the UK, Spain, and the rest of Europe while many Americans have put it on their “do not drink” list? The answer may be more about what gin is being mixed with than the quality or taste of the gin itself. In the United States, tonic water is a pale variation of the tonic in the rest of the world. The key reason is highly muted levels of quinine (the element that makes tonic bitter), as well as the use of high fructose corn syrup in many commercial tonics. High fructose corn syrup mixes horribly with gin and helps produce the off taste that many Americans have grown to dislike. The difference in taste and quality between US tonics and their European counterparts (even under the same brand name) is even more dramatic than that between Coke in the United States and Mexican Coke, which is made with pure cane sugar. Bad tonic, combined with a general lack of knowledge in using and handling vermouth in the US, have lead to a bevy of gin drinks that are worthy of US drinkers’ disdain.
So how do you change the hearts and minds of American drinkers and get them to discover the magic spirit that is gin? Tanqueray’s answer is to get their products into the hands of the people who do the best job mixing gin into drinks that Americans will not only drink, but that they will downright crave. Tanqueray’s commitment to the craft cocktail revolution has been exceptional, and therein lies the answer to the question, why would a monster company like Diageo bother with a handful of cases of a long lost product? American craft bartenders asked Tanqueray to bring back Tanqueray Malacca, and Tanqueray listened. The move not only created more good will among craft bartenders with the brand, it also helped create some excitement for the category. This excitement also helped fuel a relaunch of Tanqueray’s iconic Tanqueray Ten Gin with a new look that tipped its hat to craft.
If there’s one model that major spirits companies tend to follow, it’s “If it worked once, do it again”. While Tanqueray Malacca Gin may not have sold tens of thousands of cases, it did the job that was intended, so Diageo has opened up Charles Tanqueray’s legendary recipe book for another limited edition gin release. This time around, it’s Tanqueray Old Tom Gin.
Old Tom Gin is a style of gin that bridges the gap between Dutch Genever and London Dry Gin. At its core, Old Tom Gin has a weight, sweetness, and lushness that’s reminiscent of Genever but with a drier finish that’s more akin to a London Dry Gin. Old Tom Gin was an extremely popular style of gin during the heart of the classic cocktail heyday in the 1800s, and can be found in many key classic drink recipes like the Martinez and Tom Collins. Unfortunately, Old Tom Gin was one of many spirits which fell victim to Prohibition, and post-prohibition production of Old Tom petered out in the 1930’s and 40’s. It was considered a “lost spirit” in the US until just a few years ago when cocktail historian David Wondrich helped encourage Ransom Spirits, a small Oregon distiller, to try to re-create the classic spirit.
Tanqueray Old Tom Gin (47.3% ABV / 94.6 proof, $32.99 per Liter) – unlike Ransom Spirit’s Old Tom Gin, which was a recreation of Old Tom Gin, Tanqueray’s special Limited Edition release comes directly out of Charles Tanqueray’s famed recipe book, with notes on Old Tom Gin that date back to 1835. These notes and subsequent recipes were the basis for Tanqueray Master Distiller Tom Nichol to create this limited Old Tom Gin release for Tanqueray.
From the first nosing, it’s clear that Tanqueray’s Old Tom Gin is distinctly different from Tanqueray’s other gins. Juniper is definitely a lead note, but it’s accompanied by a distinct lushness that includes bright lime, almond, and orris root. The core of Tanqueray’s Old Tom Gin nose is sweet citrus (reminiscent of honey tangerine) supported by a layer of spice which includes juniper, black pepper, coriander, and licorice root. The entry is lush and sweet, two words you don’t expect to be associated with gin. The initial softness is amazing considering that this gin is 47.3% ABV; it’s perhaps one of the most sippable gins on the market. What’s remarkable is that the sweetness doesn’t seem to be coming from any added sugar. It would have been perfectly acceptable to add sugar to an Old Tom Gin, as many classic Old Toms were sweetened, but instead the sweetness is one of those great magical things that can happen in a spirit where it tastes sweet but isn’t sweetened.
The entry is all sweet lime and soft juniper. The way in which the juniper is presented here is so approachable, it’ll make even the most ardent ginaphobe reconsider their take on the spirit. As we head towards the midpalate there’s a wonderful handoff between the lush, sweet opening and the full, round, spicy midpalate. In the midpalate the juniper ramps up and is joined by black pepper, coriander, licorice root, orris root, and a eucalyptus note. Even with all this spice, Tanqueray’s Old Tom Gin maintains the silky undercurrent of citrus sweetness established in the opening. The finish for Tanqueray’s Old Tom Gin is long and dry, solidly in line with the house style for Tanqueray.
One of the cornerstone’s of Tanqueray’s taste profile is balance, and it’s one of the things that Master Distiller Tom Nichol does best. Nichol manages to find balance in an Old Tom, something that’s nothing short of remarkable. While Tanqueray Old Tom Gin is being billed as a Limited Edition, it’s still a Diageo product, so for them “limited” means “a hundred thousand bottles”. This is a hearty amount for something that’s limited, but that’s a good thing. Tanqueray’s Old Tom Gin is an important addition to the gin category. It’s an expertly crafted gin that sits side by side with Tanqueray London Dry and Tanqueray Ten in terms of quality and execution. We hope Tanqueray will consider adding both Old Tom and Malacca to the permanent Tanqueray line up.

Here we go again. Everything that is wrong with the world is women’s fault. Here, Children’s Society blames working women for family breakdown, under-achieving children and getting themselves into poverty.
I’d first like to declare an interest, my parents divorced when I was 7. I have two degrees, a successful career and an ability to make friends. You know why? Partly, yes I’m fabulous, but I’m also middle class.
What angers me about these kind of stories is not that the data is wrong, although sometimes it is (links to a comment I made on another blog but haven’t got round to blogging on here, tut). Its the inference it makes and the information is leaves out.
So if economic independence is allowing women to leave unsatisfactory relationships. So what do you suggest? Making women more dependent on men? Make them stay in unsatisfactory relationships?
The information that is missing here is about men. Men and women get divorced, why then to men disappear? Why is it divorced women that largely have sole responsibility for bringing up children? Because our society puts more responsibility on women for childcare than on fathers. Women being economically independent is the problem rather than men not being able to adapt to their changing role in society and in the family. Relationship breakdown is the problem rather than adults not being able to break up without turning into sadists intent on harming their previous loved one and often using the children to do that.
Figures published by Unicef in 2007 showed that children in Scandinavian countries – where rates of family break-up are similar to the UK – are happier than British children.
Why? Its the Economy, stupid. “Broken” families end up in poverty because (and bear with me this is quite mathematically complicated) two incomes are better than one. Childcare is expensive, before women were working they were doing the childcare for free. Only around 12.5% of absentee parents pay child support. Having this ‘Men, tuh‘ attitude is letting them off the hook and blaming women for not putting up with it.
And I’m not even going to start on the often implicit ‘children being brought up solely by women are crap because women are crap’ argument, I’m sure I’ll return to that another day. See picture above instead.

So this nice lady calls me on the phone to say that my name was submitted to be thrown in jail to help raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). She said someone told her that I was a nice and giving person… that someone told her that for sure I’d say yes.
How do you say no to that kind of flattery? Someone must have told her I respond very well to positive reinforcement!
So I said yes… then I decided to try a little experiment.

Are You Sleepless in Seattle?
Recently, we read about Tom Brokaw who was hospitalized after appearing on a morning TV show. He had mistakenly taken Ambien (a prescription sleep medication) in the early morning. Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert F Kennedy, was arrested for a DUI this summer and apparently had also taken Ambien without realizing it. What is this all about?
Americans are having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. And they are turning to pills for help. In 2008, there were over 56 million prescriptions for sleeping medication!

Agreeing, Senate Education Committee chair Greg Hembree, R-Horry, proposed an amendment to the proposal that also would kill a measure to fine or jail school board members who do not complete an ethics-training program. The Senate’s K-12 education subcommittee expects to take up that amendment next Wednesday.
The school board ethics debate comes amid a legislative effort to address South Carolina’s teacher shortage and overhaul failing schools.
Some state officials have expressed frustration with school board members who use their positions to go on junkets and hire relatives, rather than improve their local schools.
Others point to Richland 2 School District as an example, where board chair Amelia McKie faces calls to resign after failing to file campaign disclosures dating back to 2014. She owes the state about $52,000 in penalties. Meanwhile, the school district’s vice chair, Monica Elkins-Johnson, faces disorderly conduct charges for allegedly shoving a parent.
However, school board members told senators Wednesday that much of the ethics language in the Senate and House K-12 education reform bills is redundant, already part of S.C. law or school board policies.
The problem is that existing ethics laws are not enforced, senators were told Wednesday.

When it comes to working day to day and interacting with others, it’s a well-known fact that the first impression you make means absolutely everything. And as much as we sometimes hate to admit it, that includes your appearance. One of the things that I’m extremely obsessive over is my skin, so every time I come across a product worth mentioning, I can’t resist sharing.
PROEXIST skin care is an upcoming skin care line that is 100% homemade and full of incredible benefits for your skin. This line of quality products is based on natural, plant derived ingredients that are free from artificial colors and fragrances.
What’s the meaning behind the name of your skin care line? Who chose it?
The meaning of our skin care line, PROEXIST, is represented as the way you live. To live free, to live better. The name was a process of trial and error. I wanted to find a name that had meaning. I searched for names, but they were all taken. Then, one day as I was driving in the car with the music blaring, the name exist came to me, and a sensation of butterflies and excitement filled my stomach as I knew this was the perfect name. Exist stands for life and beauty, but the word pro symbolizes one’s greatness. Together PROEXIST means to live a great, beautiful life.
About six years ago, I was introduced to an amazing scientist, and we started talking about our professions. With me working beside many dermatologists, I started talking about how teens and adults came into our office complaining about how topical medications were putting restrictions on their everyday activities. After talking for a period of time, we conversed over the fact that acne has affected people of all ages. By the end of our conversation, we had planned to meet up in his laboratory to create a cleanser that doesn’t require any down time or put any restrictions on your life. The idea was to create an all-natural cleanser. We worked hand and hand to create such a product, and PROEXIST was born.
What separates your skin care line from other skin care brands?
PROEXIST is created using natural products, no harsh additives, or artificial colorants or preservatives, to give you the most effective product for your skin. Most commercial soaps detergent based. They are created using synthetic materials that are harsh and drying to the skin. All PROEXIST products are 100% hand-made in the USA. This cleanser is non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic, based on natural, plant derived ingredients. It is also free from artificial colors and fragrances, biodegradable and is environmentally friendly, it has no animal content, and is not animal tested.
The hardest part about going into business for myself, is managing both my family and work lives. Being a mother of three kids with active social and athletic lives, and also working a full-time job, it sometimes gets tough to manage. With time I learned how to manage both, and with the support of my family and friends I was able to push through the tough times and work hard in all areas, and still be there for my family.
At the beginning it was hard. The people who I thought were my friends were always discouraging me and bringing my spirits down. After a realization, I knew I couldn’t surround myself with people who didn’t believe in me, so I slowly started to drift away. I then found new friends that believed in everything I do and stand for. They share the same goals that I do and they motivate, and give me the drive to push and work hard on my craft.
On your hardest days, what or who keeps you motivated to keep going?
All in all, the thing that keeps me motivated to push through the tough times is my family. They are the biggest of our supporters, and everything that I do is for them. When we had troubling thoughts of shutting down our business. My family was there giving words of encouragement, so that we wouldn’t give up on our dreams. Strangely enough, that week we kept getting random phone calls from our customers. They were giving us positive feedback on our product, and how it changed their lives.
Are there any people that you would like to thank specifically?
A special thanks goes to my amazing team Oscar, Jeremy, and Matt. It has been a little stressful this year and I love the fact that we didn’t give up. Let’s continue to motivate, inspire, and push each other further. The sky’s the limit!
Why do you feel it’s important to own your own?
I want to set an example not only for myself, but for my children. I want to show them that believing yourself, and putting faith into something gives you a different perspective to never stop following your dreams. If you want something done, do it yourself. I have learned that life is full of opportunities and if it is presented to you, take it and run with it.
If you had one piece of advice for fellow entrepreneurs, what would it be?
If I had any advice to give to a fellow entrepreneur, it would be not to visualize your dream small, think big. Also, make sure that you start your business with a solid foundation and with everything in check. Research not only your product, but competitors as well. Get all the paperwork done, so that way you are prepared for anything to happen. One mistake that I learned from, was to make sure you trademark your logo and your brand name. Because one day if your company blows up, and you don’t have the necessities down, it will come back to haunt you. So think big, work hard, and never give up!
If you could only describe PROEXIST using three words, what would they be?
If I could describe PROEXIST in three words I would use life, prosperity, and confidence.
The PROEXIST team members pride themselves on promoting healthy, vibrant skin and have products highly recommended by dermatologists, make-up artists, and estheticians. Using quality ingredients and advanced techniques, PROEXIST creates products fit for every customer! Ron Artest, better known as Metta World Peace of the Los Angeles Lakers, is a proud user of the PROEXIST brand. In fact, he’s so confident in these products that he represented the brand along with the co-founder, Lorraine at FitCon, this past May 14th-15th at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, Ca. In addition to that, Henry Schein, one of the largest worldwide medical distribution companies, introduced PROEXIST at the American Academy of Dermatology in Washington, D.C on March 4th-8th at the Walture E. Washington Convention Center.
As for upcoming events? While celebrating a new beginning and the launch of her new and improved brand, on July 9th Lorraine and her team will be launching PROEXIST at the Coach Woodson Celebrity Golf Tournament in Las Vegas. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by, grab some skin pampering products, and support!
Skin is important year round, but we all know how hard it is dealing with acne during the warmer seasons. Summer is here, so the best time to start working on that natural glow and amazing skin is now! We all have at least one skin care issue that could use more attention and a product to match, so be sure to browse through their website to see which products could possibly solve one of yours. Best of luck on your skin care journey! Here’s to a flawless first impression.

The Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok on the riverside is up there with the most spectacular places to stay the Thai capital, which certainly has its fair share of luxury hotels to choose from. Firstly, the location of the Shangri-La Bangkok is difficult to beat, both in terms of practicality and scenery. Nestled on the east bank of the majestic Chao Phraya River, the views from your window or balcony will be enough to take your breath away.
However, the Shangri-La Bangkok experience is much more than just great views. This hotel boasts six dining venues, a riverside swimming pool, 802 stylish Thai-themed rooms and even has its own river cruise which glides past some of Bangkok’s best-loved cultural jewels. We’ve stayed at the Shangri-La Bangkok and bring you 10 reasons why you need to stay at this remarkable five-star hotel.
Unlike other Shangri-La hotels across the world where a room for the night can be as much as your return air ticket, the Shangri-La Bangkok is surprisingly affordable. Hotel prices in Bangkok are famously low, and a luxurious night’s stay at the Shangri-La is around the same price as what you’d pay for an average three or four-star hotel in many other major cities.
Not many hotels in Bangkok offer guests their own private balcony space with views this good. All of the Shangri-La Bangkok’s Deluxe Balcony Rooms face west – perfect for watching the sun sink below the horizon with a cold drink in-hand.
At Shangri-La Bangkok you’ll find a distinctly Thai-theme throughout, with everything from the attire of the staff to the decor in the rooms. Their Salahip restaurant is no exception; come here in the evening to experience traditional cuisine and some exotic Thai dancing that will leave a lasting impression.
With the popular Saphan Taksin pier just metres away, it’s easy to hop on a cheap river ferry and head up stream to the nearby Grand Palace and Wat Pho, two of Bangkok’s most prized cultural treasures. Alternatively, hire a long tail boat from the hotel (600 baht per hour with driver) to explore the jewels of the Chao Phraya River in more exclusivity and comfort.
Along with a whole host of other facilities, one of the real highlights at Shangri-La Bangkok is their award-winning spa, called CHI. Their signature ‘Tsangpo Ritual’ is highly recommended, and well-known for being able to invigorate depleted energy levels – perfect for tackling that jet lag.
As soon as you look at of your window and spot the gorgeous riverside swimming pool below, you’ll want to take the elevator straight back down for a dip! After a swim, put your feet up and order a drink from the comfort of your own riverside sun lounger.
Even if you booked a room for a whole week at the Shangri-La Bangkok, you could practically eat at a different restaurant here every night (not that you should miss out on Bangkok’s famous street food though!) Highlights include Angelini, an award-winning Italian restaurant, the previously mentioned Salahip Thai restaurant, and Shang Palace for refined Chinese cuisine.
Shangri-La Bangkok offers a free shuttle service to the popular Asiatique, a buzzing nigh market with plenty of shops, restaurants and entertainment. As well as this, the nearest BTS Skytrain Station (Saphan Taksin) is just metres away, meaning you can hop on a train and connect to the rest of the city in minutes.
One of the key concepts of the Shangri-La hotel is to create continuity throughout its dozens of branches across the word. Guests who have stayed at the Shangri-La before will instantly recognise the ‘Essence of Shangri-La’ fragrance which is used in every one of their hotels worldwide, as well as be impressed by the warm, relaxed and personal service that this hotel consistently delivers.

When Scott Glosserman first moved from Los Angeles to Ipswich in early 2017, he worked from home, running his film distribution company from the changing room off his master bathroom. Eventually, though, his wife told him it was time to make new arrangements. “She said, ‘You need to go get an office,’” Glosserman laughs.
As he was checking out office options in Ipswich, he was struck—and inspired—by the empty retail storefronts downtown. He thought back to Los Angeles, full of creative people collaborating in coffee shops and coworking spaces. Perhaps, Glosserman thought, he could build something similar in his newly adopted hometown. “It occurred to me that we could help create vitality downtown by creating a coworking space,” he says. And so, Gathr Work was born.
Inside, Gathr feels like anything but a conventional office. Large windows and high white walls give the space a bright airiness. The furniture—all custom-made by a carpenter in Gloucester—and trim, and even some doors, were built using reclaimed wood from the farm of Ben Raymond, Glosserman’s partner and bother-in-law. Along one wall, a hydroponic system is ready to grow greens and other edible plants. Kumquat and fig trees that made the journey from California with Glosserman thrive in sunny corners.
The front half of the space is an open-plan office dotted with desks, chairs, and upholstered furniture. Members can simply use whatever seating and surfaces are open. The back is occupied by individual offices that workers can rent on a monthly basis. Conference rooms are available, and a soundproof pod even allows workers to make phone calls in relative privacy.
Coworking has been a growing phenomenon for the past decade, as more employers embrace flexible, remote work arrangements and more workers turn to freelance and contract jobs. Today, chains like international giant WeWork and Boston-area Workbar dominate the sector, providing standardized shared office space for remote workers and freelancers.
Monthly memberships and day passes are available. Current members include writers, lawyers, graphic designers, and even an aspiring lawyer studying for the bar exam.
The space offers the best of both worlds. Workers can avoid the frustrations of a daily commute and the distractions of working from home. The presence of other remote workers can provide camaraderie and even creative inspiration.
Gathr Work held its grand opening in July. The early reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, Glosserman and Raymond say, and all of the private single offices were reserved by the time the space officially opened. “There’s a real opportunity in towns like Ipswich,” Glosserman says.
Raymond adds,“ And there’s also a need.

Nóirín O’Sullivan stepped down from her role in September 2017.
Former commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan retired from the position last September.
On 11 May 2015, garda policy was to defend whistleblowers. By 15 May, it was impugning Maurice McCabe at the O’Higgins Commission.
A bump of the current €180,000 salary is expected to attract a top candidate.
That’s according to new figures shared by the Minister for Justice and Equality.
Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan announced she was retiring on Sunday.
Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan said that he accepted the role is challenging, but denied it is a “poisoned chalice”.
A poll carried out for Claire Byrne Live said that 48% of us think the next Commissioner should come from outside the State.
She is retiring after 36 years in the gardaí.
The Commissioner faced a gruelling session at the Public Accounts Committee this week but she let TDs know she is not going anywhere.
It’s reported an Irish identity card was found on one of the three attackers.
The commissioner faced the PAC to answer questions over serious irregularities in the finances of the Garda College in Templemore.
O’Sullivan is making her first appearance in front of the Policing Authority since the scandal concerning Garda breath tests first broke.
Following a closed session with AGSI delegates, the Commissioner said “no one actually has the answers, as of yet”.
Fianna Fáil has continually said it cannot express confidence in the Commissioner.

We got Oolong from my parents almost 12 years ago now.
He is getting up there in age, but he still loves to dart under beds in rooms he isn't allowed to go in. Much of his time is spent sleeping on his heating pad with his buddy Zero or hovering over the floor vent to stay warm.
He is a super sweet guy!
One of my favorite cats!
13 years young - many future years left and lots of "cat lives" left..

That top looks like pictures I've seen of the surface of the sun.. just before a solar flare! Awesome!
great description. i am stoked that I'll finally get a chance to check out Rod's basses next week. I am very much of a first impression type of person when it comes to instruments. I try to let them speak to me as soon as I touch 'em. The Wyn bass I bought at NAMM last year pretty much screamed out my name as soon as i touched it.
At the time Rod described it as a Ferrari. He wasn't kidding. I sure hope his turn out to be Lambourgini's (sp) in disguise.
Wish I was going to NAMM this year, but look forward to your's, and others descriptions of the basses and products - god or bad - that you describe to us. Very interested to hear what you think of Rod's work/basses.
it's done and ready to roll!
I have to say that over the last few years I have become very enamoured of figured redwood. What is it like to work with?
I have heard endless horror stories about working with Redwood, to the extent that I was hesitant to use these sets on this build. Redwood appears to be very brittle, is prone to chip-out when cutting if your cutting tools are not freshly sharpened, and will burn deeply (like Cherry or soft Maple heartwood) if you hesitate for a millisecond when using a router.
Man, that finish looks killer!

Amazon is making a big bet on physical stores and the business of food. The online retail giant announced Friday, June 16, 2017 that is buying organic grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.7 billion in cash.
(CNN Money) — Alexa, lower the prices.
Amazon said Thursday that its takeover of Whole Foods will close on Monday, and it’s first order of business will be to make some items more affordable, according to a release.
“Whole Foods Market will offer lower prices starting Monday on a selection of best-selling grocery staples across its stores, with more to come,” the company said in a statement.
Items that will be marked down on Monday include organic avocados, organic brown eggs, organic salmon, almond butter, organic apples and organic rotisserie chicken. Amazon said it’ll keep the markdowns coming, and that Amazon Prime members will get additional discounts at Whole Foods.
“Everybody should be able to eat Whole Foods Market quality — we will lower prices without compromising Whole Foods Market’s long-held commitment to the highest standards,” Jeff Wilke, CEO of Amazon Worldwide Consume, said in a statement.
That’s good news for Whole Foods critics, who have long bemoaned the grocery store’s high prices.
Its prices even sparked a legal controversy in 2015 when New York City’s Department of Consumer Affairs accused Whole Foods of “systematic overcharging for pre-packaged foods,” like sliced fruit and sandwiches. The chain paid $500,000 in fines to settle the matter. The city’s inspectors called it the worst case of mislabeling they had seen in their careers.
And there was more bad press when a photograph of a $6 bottle of “asparagus water” at a California store went viral. The beverage appeared to contain nothing but several asparagus stalks soaking in water. Whole Foods later pulled the beverage and said it was prepared incorrectly.
— Amazon lockers — where customers can pick up or send returns back items purchased on Amazon.com — will pop up in “select” Whole Foods stores.
— Whole Foods-brand products will now be available through Amazon.com and other Prime platforms, such as Prime Now, the same-day delivery service available in some markets. The store’s brands include the Whole Foods label, 365, Whole Paws and Whole Catch.

CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing tests to tell Computers and Humans Apart) are necessary in the modern digital user experience.
Spammers seem to be all over the virtual place these days and for many 'Net professionals their activity is wreaking absolute havoc. XtremeTop100.com, for example, which relies on user votes to rank servers, recently noticed a series of rapid and suspicious spikes in rankings.
"The quality of our service depends on real votes, by real people. Unfortunately, we discovered that bots were abusing our site, to the tune of tens of thousands of attacks getting through our system each day," said John Palsson, creator of XtremeTop100.com.
The site managers obviously needed to curb the fraudulent results from bot-generated voting and tested a number of spam filtering services, including reCAPTCHA, but found that none could stop the tide of bots — that is, until they discovered FunCaptcha. What's unique and really interesting about the FunCaptcha solution is that it replaces standard CAPTCHA tests with interactive, quick mini-games to detect real humans and confuse bots.
Website Magazine covered six rather innovative alternatives to the traditional CAPTCHA back in 2013. Is your website using a CAPTCHA? Share your experience with other Website Magazine readers by submitting a comment below.

Harley-Davidson, the American automaker has issued a recall for its top-selling motorcycle- the Street 750 in the Indian two-wheeler market. Not just in India, the company has recalled over 10.5K Street 500 and Street 750 globally. The recalled has been issued to rectify a faulty fuel pump. The defective fuel pump has a faulty seal at the fuel pump inlet.
The defective fuel pump causes an interruption to the fuel supply, which could result in a sudden return of power. This fluctuation in power delivery could lead to a crash. The 2015 production models of the Street 750 have been affected and the company has issued voluntary recalls for the motorcycle. The American automaker will replace the affected part free of cost.
Harley-Davidson India released the following statement, "Harley-Davidson confirms that it has voluntarily recalled model year 2015 Harley-Davidson Street family vehicles, of which the XG750 model is available in India. We identified that some of the motorcycles may have a poor seal at the fuel pump inlet, and announced the recall in the interest of customer safety. We are committed to correcting this issue and are working with our dealers in India to notify customers and request them to bring their motorcycles in for inspection."

Gisele Bündchen The New Face of Givenchy?
Was that Gisele Bündchen spotted on a beach in Jamaica shooting Givenchy’s spring 2012 campaign? Many fashion insiders seem to think so, but the House has yet to comment.
In this fashion editorial for the pre-fall issue of i-D Magazine, Gisele Bundchen is shot by photographer Emma Summerton in playful, school girl attire and gorgeous chunky knitwear.
Following on from her four covers for the July issue of Vogue Brazil, Gisele Bundchen stars in an editorial spread shot by Jaques Dequeker in the breath-taking Amazon Rainforest.
Known as the world’s top earning model, Gisele Bundchen covers the Summer issue of V Spain.

Shopping for Spring Summer accessories can be difficult, do we want to follow the trends and invest in the latest fashion or do we want a classic and timeless style we're able to wear over and over again? If the answer is both then you'll want to check out Russell and Bromley's new SS17 collection which aims to combine a modern spin on classics. I've styled my favourite pairs from the new season collection to give you some inspiration when dressing for the season ahead.
Dressing for the new Season of course means flashing a little leg and these neutral heels did wonders to lengthen my small frame. I'm really enjoying a neutral palette at the moment so a pairing of whites, creams and browns are perfect with this outfit. Although this outfit is plain in colouring the lace up detail of the skirt and pattern of the heritage blazer pulls everything together!
It's rare that I wear a heel, unless it's attached to an ankle boot! So to get the most wear out of my heels they have to be 1; Classic - This pair has a pointed toe making them a really nice timeless style which I'll wear again and again. 2. Neutral - These are a beautiful neutral suede colour meaning they'll go with my entire wardrobe. 3 Comfortable - Block heel's which are super comfy and with a heel height of only 6.5cm I'm guaranteed to last all day or evening in them.
If you're looking for a double whammy with the athlesuire trend then this back pack is the stylish way to do so - It still combines the sports vibe with the design and shape yet the beautiful crafted leather still keeps it classic.
Trainers for me call for denim, they're a match made in heaven in my eyes. But, if denim isn't your thing and you're looking to put a different spin on this pair they'd look incredible worn with your leather back pack, black tailored boyfriend jacket and matching cigarette pants - rolled up at the ankle for extra fashion points.
This post was made in collaboration with Russel & Bromley.

Things appear to change when the attacker is white.
President Donald Trump has gained notoriety for his swift reactions to tragic attacks around the world, often jumping to conclusions and leveling blame on Twitter before waiting for more information or confirmation. But following the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history in Las Vegas, Nevada late Sunday night, the president sounded a very different note online.
More than 58 people have died and over 500 people are injured as of early Monday morning after a gunman opened fire on the 32nd floor of the Mandlay Bay Hotel and Casino. Police have said the suspect, Stephen Paddock, 64, is dead, and that Paddock is a local man not familiar to either local law enforcement or to federal authorities. Current reports indicate that he was white U.S. citizen and owned a sizable collection of fire arms.
Information about the tragedy is still unfolding, with many details still unknown. Trump, thus far, has said nothing else about the attack apart from his tweet offering condolences and sympathies — out of character for the president, who has taken a particular interest in perpetrators of violent extremist attacks.
While the reason for the shift is unclear, many on Monday morning pointed to the attacker’s race. Trump has been far more vocal around incidents he believed were perpetrated by Muslims of color. In 2015, Trump responded swiftly to attacks in Paris, France, and San Bernadino, California, pointing to the faith of the perpetrators as a rationale for the violence. This year, in August, after a van hit pedestrians in Barcelona, Spain, and killed 14 people, the president initially took to Twitter to offer his condolences and support. A short time later, he tweeted again — this time reviving an Islamophobic myth about General John Joseph Pershing, claiming that Pershing killed Muslims with bullets soaked in pig’s blood in the Philippines.
Trump’s tweet came before the identity or motive of the driver was known. But his assumption about the attack’s faith mirrors the president’s reactions to other attacks. After a series of attacks occurred in Germany and Turkey last December, Trump swiftly blamed “Islamic terrorists” for the violence without any confirmation.
In September, after an explosion hit the London underground, Trump quickly blamed the incident on a “loser terrorist” before taking the opportunity to tout his travel ban, which at the time targeted refugees and citizens from six Muslim-majority nations.
But jumping to conclusions isn’t Trump’s only knee-jerk reaction to tragedy — there are also the attacks he fails to acknowledge. Last February, Trump failed to offer comment after six men were killed in a mosque in Quebec City, Canada. In May, the president took several days to respond after a white supremacist targeting two young women on a train in Portland, Oregon killed two men who attempted to intervene. He similarly has said little about a spike in hate crimes targeting South Asians in the United States, many of whom are read as Muslim regardless of their faith. After a Minnesota mosque was bombed in August, Trump also remained silent, instead firing off a number of tweets about other topics.
Miqdaad Versi, who serves as assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, tweeted Monday morning noting the contrast in Trump’s approach to different attacks. Versi highlighted the president’s reactions in three scenarios — when the perpetrator is Muslim and victims are Western; when the perpetrator is white or Muslim and the victims are exclusively Muslim; the Las Vegas shooting, with a white attacker and a diverse range of victims.
While non-exhaustive, Versi’s list makes note of Trump’s active commentary on attacks falling in the first category, as well as his silence when Muslims die regardless of who is targeting them. It also notes the attacks on which Trump has been the most notably quiet — those involving the mass-murder of Muslims in Muslim-majority countries, like Iraq and Syria.
This piece has been updated to reflect the number of people killed and injured and to clarify the nature of Paddock’s record with law enforcement.

Established in spring 2011 BuBu 7 is a brand name for dogs and cats product. Our idea is to manufacture products for our four-leg friends that would fully comply with all the required criteria. This means elegance, style, precise manufacturing as well as materials. Our products include dogs and cats’ beds, suits, collars, blankets and bowknots.
All these products are made of fabrics and leather produced in Italy. We select all the materials personally, directly at the producers place and pay close attention to the quality, consistence and colours. All the materials must comply with EU standards.
Our products are exclusively hand-crafted and being produced in the Czech Republic. We anxiously follow every step in the production process and final product must be presentation of a precise work of our couturieres. Since we often use hydro-repellent materials, some of our products, as for example beds or suits, are completely resistant to water and dampness. Products are therefore easily washable.
The suits designs would fully meet every need of your sweethearts as well as yours. We can offer also cardigans, waterproof warm jackets or lighter cloaks as well as sport or elegant and trendy apparel. Selection is great and ready to fit to any climatic conditions.
Through the BuBu7 project we aim to achieve high quality of manufacture production; we pay close attention to the articles variety stressing the right ratio of price and quality. We believe that by doing so we can satisfy requirements of all our clients. The complete range of our products can be found in our E–SHOP or in the most prestigious shops in the Czech Republic and worldwide.
MODEL BOLZANO – Very becoming trendy cardigan. Suitable for smaller breads. Every such cardigan is supplemented with a hood in extraordinary shape with a pompon. Embellishment is further extended by embroidery with dog’s motive. It is possible to supply this trend model without pompon or embroidery too.
This model is made of really warm wool. There is a Lurex (golden yarn) interwoven into the wool. Sleeves on the forelegs would keep your dog nicely warm. This kind of wool does not itch or scratch. It is soft and tender and feels as a second skin.
Material has been selected by our staff and imported from Italy. It has been inspected and assorted according to the relevant criteria. Product was hand made by Czech needlewomen in the Czech Republic.
You can find more products like this at our e-shop.

Glossy material which cannot be overlooked nor can be the owner of this coat or his two-leg friend. Suitable for down-town, but also for bad weather walk.

This is the lads arriving back from New York, at London (Heathrow) airport, Sat morning, 22/2/64. I like how they had so much Excess items e.g. records, etc. that they’re holding them as hand luggage.
Thanks Datey, I’ll correct it, the location had me scratching my . . head.
Can someone identify what album Ringo picked up in the states?
@Since 1963 ~ Looks like it’s “Golden Goodies of 1963,” a compilation album. And btw, when you enlarge this pic, it looks like Adam Carolla is waiting for them at Heathrow.
Amazing quality, Tammy. Looks like it was taken yesterday.
Yes, England indeed since there is a Bobby there on the right side of the photo.

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by tiggerific, Sep 21, 2004.
Hi all, I'm hoping someone is able to help. I have one account out of about 40 that were transferred to a new VPS that is having a cgi-bin problem.
I can view the contents of the cgi-bin folder from FTP, from the cpanel File Manager, from SSH in the directory listings, etc. But If I http://domain.com/cgi-bin/ it always reports "Page not found". I'm sure there's an alias or something missing somewhere but I honestly can't find it.
PS: I'm fairly new to SSH commands, so if you offer some help, could you please put the "whole" command Thanks.
the cgi-bin seems not copied. Try creating a cgi-bin folder in any of the domain and check.
Thanks, but as I said, the cgi-bin folder is there in the /HOME/USERNAME directory. In fact, I can even FTP files to it, and view it fine from the file manager within cPanel. What I can't do is display any of the files or folders within it using a http: request. For example, the file admin.cgi is in the ADMIN folder of the CGI-BIN. But when I go to http://domain.com/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi I get a Page Not Found error. Not a 500 error, just a regular 404. And it's definitely there. So if there's any other ideas would be much appreciated.
well.. it should be inside: /home/username/public_html folder and NOT /home/username/.
Sorry I was just trying to do a quick reply and wasn't thinking clearly. What I'm trying to say is the folder already exists.
The point is, I can't view it from the web, but I can from everywhere else. And my other 48 accounts do not have this problem.
Are you missing the script alias line in httpd.conf?
I don't know. I'm too lazy to check.
I think if you have Options -ExecCGI in the virtualhost that might cause this behavior, too.

Continuous and comprehensive evaluation is an education system newly introduced by Central Board of Secondary Education in India, for students of sixth to tenth grades. The main aim of CCE is to evaluate every aspect of the child during their presence at the school. This is believed to help reduce the pressure on the child during/before examinations as the student will have to sit for multiple tests throughout the year, of which no test or the syllabus covered will be repeated at the end of the year, whatsoever. The CCE method is claimed to bring enormous changes from the traditional chalk and talk method of teaching, provided it is implemented accurately.

The calendar proclaims that spring has arrived.
still spring eludes me, except in memory.
but everything else seems to be delayed.
ready to drag me out to sea.
I want the kaleidoscope of spring.
I pray it will have a resurgence soon.

Information for Our Grantees with Active Grants.
As of spring 2015, new grantees are required to participate in The Leakey Foundation’s outreach efforts by submitting content for our blog and social media. Click here to learn about Grantee submitted content.
Final Reports are required when your grant research is complete.
Financial Reports are required when your grant research is complete.
Photos are requested when your research is complete or at any time during the duration of your grant.
Click here to learn more about these reports.
Do you need to make changes or request an extension?
From time to time, our grantees move between institutions, need to make changes to their original budget, or meet with unexpected delays. We ask that you keep us abreast of any of these changes while you have a current grant.
Extensions to the start or end dates of a grant require a written request by the grantee or the financial contact.
The request must state the reason for the extension, the revised dates for data collection and analysis, and the expected date of completion of the grant.
Please email us at [email protected] to request an extension.
Please send an email to [email protected] detailing: Your name, grant title and the contact information of the Office of Sponsored Research (or similar body) at the new institution. For convenience, please carbon copy the Office of Sponsored Research at both your old and new institution.
The old institution must present us with an accounting of all money spent to date on the project.
We would ask that the old institution present the new institution with a check for the remainder of the award. Failing that, the check can be written to The Leakey Foundation, and we can write a new check to the new institution.
We will need a final accounting of how the remainder of the funds were spent from the new institution after the project is complete.
There are many reasons why a grantee may wish to modify his or her budget. Our grantees sometimes receive overlapping funding from other sources or are forced to change costs of certain items due to project delays or difficulties. We ask that all major changes (adding or deleting line items or changes of over $1000 to a line item) to your budget as submitted with your original grant application be submitted and approved by our office.
Our process for requesting a change to your grant budget is fairly simple. Simply alter the original excel budget file you originally submitted with your grant application and attach the new budget to an email to [email protected] with a note explaining the changes and why you are requesting them. Most budget alterations are approved.
If you need a copy of the original budget submitted with your grant application, we’ll be happy to furnish you with one. Again, just write an email to [email protected], and we will get a .pdf version of your original budget to you as soon as we can.
We ask that you acknowledge your Leakey Foundation funding in presentations and posters.

The evening showcased all aspects of Turings students learning from across the curriculum. Thank you to everyone who took part, it was a fantastic evening.
All of the proceeds from the show went towards the chosen charity, Time to Talk Befriending, a charity rooted in the Sussex community, serving those aged over 65 who experience feelings of chronic loneliness caused by social isolation.
Staff and students worked hard to celebrate the School’s achievements and put together a varied programme of performances across all year groups, even including our new year 7 students.
It was an amazing show, thank you to everyone who supported us. We already can't wait for next year!

How many digital pictures do you have? Have you ever counted them? It’s easy! At the end of October 2009 I decided to keep track of how many digital pictures and videos I have on my hard drive. For almost three years, I have been providing an update at the end of each month showing you how many pictures & videos I have, how much space they take and how much space I have left on my main hard drive. After 2012 I stopped checking every month and instead count everything about once or twice a year.

First thing's first (I'm the realist, sorry it has to be done) I have been desperate to get my hands on this classic for quite some time, but kept putting it off because of the jaw dropping £33.50 price tag, yikes. But when I was off on holiday and magically found myself in duty-free, I decided to bite the bullet as it had a significant discount, and boy I do not regret it.
As this is one of Viviannadoesmakeup's all time favourites and her skin always looks fabulous, I knew it had to be a good one, as it promises an ultra light feel with a slight coverage. Gone are the days where I thought I needed a super heavy coverage (for some slightly red bits), as I just go over there with concealer and the rest can be pretty light coverage.
The foundation itself is water based, probably why it feels so light, so you need to shake it before use and then squirt a little onto the back of your hand or onto your brush. When applying, it literally melts into the skin and leaves a glowy but not overly dewy-I'm very sweaty look, which is just what I love.
My favourite thing about this foundation is the fact that it doesn't look like you're wearing foundation. There's enough coverage to even out your skin tone but you don't look caked in makeup, so it's pretty much perfect skin in a bottle!
I would certainly recommend this gorgeous product - if you're willing to pay the extra then I'd certainly say go for it!
Hey I have a blog and I love yours. Mine is anonymous. Would you ever consider a collaboration post.

Djemdet Nasr period. c. 3000 B.C.
Condition: complete but with several cracks and three small pieces glued back in place on the chipped rim, and a hole behind the reclining heifer. A few stains on the surface.
A vessel decorated with a standing bull in low relief, his turned head in high relief; also in low relief a reclining young heifer and a sacred stable surmounted by emblematic poles . The stable built of reeds with reinforced tubular uprights and horizontals. An Early Sumerian bowl in stone from Khafaje has a similar type of representation .
These form part of the same iconographic group as a magnificent gypsum trough from Warka decorated in low relief with a sacred stable and sheep, probably used for the temple flock ; their purpose is ritual, to invoke divine providence for the herd or to manifest gratitude to the god for past bounty possibly dedicated to the god of vegetation Dumuzi, the "Real Son" legendary king of Uruk, called the Shepherd, who is later known as Tammuz .
1 A parallel for the stable and poles is a fragment of a large ritual alabaster vase of the Djemdet Nasr period in Paris, Louvre Museum AO 8842: Amiet, P.: L'Art Antique du Proche-Orient (Paris, 1977), no. 231, pp. 354, 442; for greater resemblance, see a cylinder seal in limestone from Khafaje, likewise of the Djemdet Nasr period, in the Baghdad Museum: Orthmann, W.: Der Alte Orient, PKG 14 (Berlin, 1975), no. 127b, p. 226 - here the surrounding herds are ascribed to Tammuz (?).
2 Baghdad, Iraq Museum: Orthmann, W.: op. cit., p. 183 pl. 71b.
3 London, British Museum WA 120 000: Frankfort, H.: The Art and Architecture of the Ancient Orient (Harmondsworth, 1970), p. 27 fig. 12.

Northern Arizona including Grand Canyon and the "Arizona Strip"
The climate is typically dry, hot desert in the southern lowlands, and coniferous forest in the upcountry north and east. Summertime temperatures are routinely above 110 during the day in the desert, but much cooler in the higher elevations. Mild winters in the low country, but the upcountry gets cold and frequently receives snow.
When in the desert be sure to carry plenty of water. Dehydration happens surprisingly quickly, especially if you aren't accustomed to the heat.
