Okay, let’s go to the male side. Almost every man that I’ve ever talked to says that women are hard to understand and are unpredictable. “Women don’t know what they want and it leaves a man confused.” If I had a dollar for every time I heard this statement, I’d be RICH!


Now what is really going on here? What's the problem? Why can’t two adults get it together? Communication! Someone is taking and someone is not listening. Or someone is talking and someone thinks they understand and don’t ask questions.


Remember author, John Gray “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus?” This book was a bestseller for a reason. John Gray understood that men and women makeup were so different, thereby causing a failure in communication. A Woman's mind just don’t operate like a man's and vice versa.


Women want men to know what they need. We don’t always want to tell them. We want them to think of those special things that put a smile on our face and remember what’s important to us. Telling them to do it takes the joy out of it! Men wish we would just tell them what we want and need and stop the guessing games.


Want to avoid confusion?” Ask questions, listen, and pay attention. Never assume anything because it’s dangerous and leaves the door wide open for a “Ball of Confusion.”


I spun myself into a web and looked for a place of rest but you refused to be my corner but instead chose to stand straight.


I tried to be a book but you wouldn’t read so I turned myself into a bulb and you still denied me growth


Finally, I decided to become a woman and you refused to be a man. That okay because I’m still going to become a woman even though you will not become a man.


“She wanted to be a blade of grass and wanted him to be a dandelion,” suggest that she wanted to have freedom but she also wanted to be his support system. Grass grows along side of flowers but they don’t crowd the flowers out but allows room for growth.


“She wanted to be a robin singing though the leaves in a tree, but he refused to be her tree.” suggests that she would like for her man to be her resting place after a long day’s work or journey. Just as a bird who has traveled a far distance and sometimes from one place to another rests upon a tree before continuing on.


“She spun herself into a web looking for a place of peace but instead of being her corner, he stood straight.” Here the woman is in trouble or facing everyday problems or burdens of life and she looks to her man as a confidant but instead he turns away.


“She wanted to be a book but he wouldn’t read her then I turned myself into a bulb and you still denied me growth.” She tries to let him know how she feels but he refuses to make the effort to understand. She then humbles herself to him but he still denies her


Finally, she is tired of trying and wanting so she becomes a woman and doesn’t care if he becomes a man because she is tired of him making no effort to make her happy and she realizes that it is time that she made the effort to make herself happy.<|endoftext|>We will be focusing on the element and transformational power of FIRE over two days.

If you just decided to start studyingFloriculture, and absolutely do not have this experience, it is better to choose the most simple in the care of indoor flowers. You should understand that their unpretentiousness when leaving is not always unambiguous. Some of them require good lighting, others, on the contrary, are shade-loving, some like moisture or dry climate.


Among the most unpretentious indoor plants forOffice and home, Sansevieria occupies the first place. It is ideal for people who are just starting to work in floriculture or are often on the road. This unique flower tolerates any conditions: it is not afraid of sunlight or too dry air.


Excessive moisture is not terrible for sansevieria and evenlow temperature. In addition, it is easy to care for sansevieria, it will protect your house from poisonous substances that secrete synthetic finishing materials.


Transplant this indoor flower should be extremelyRarely when the roots already grow so much that they can split the clay pot. Sansevieria does not usually blossom, but the florists who placed it under direct sunlight saw flowering. Remember that no matter how unpretentious Sansevieria may be, a prolonged stay in the cold can cause its death.


For the first experience of floriculture is greatChlorophytum. He likes to be in the sun, but at the same time he feels well in the shade, that's why he is referred to sun-loving and shade-tolerant plants. Chlorophytum grows in any soil and pot, it will remain evergreen regardless of the place chosen for it - on the refrigerator, cabinet, window sill.


The leaves of chlorophytum are green,Light green with white or yellow longitudinal stripes. Often mistresses can notice how their chlorophytum blossoms, whose flowers are small white asterisks at the ends of long shoots.


Over time, these flowers turn into leafyRosettes with air roots. Want to buy a simple plant for the kitchen? Choose chlorophytum, because in a few minutes it will clear the room of smoke and burning.


Perhaps the most persistent House plants, Which withstand both heat and cold - thisCacti. They can grow in the soil without fertilizer, withstand a long time without irrigation, they fearlessly lack of light. Under such conditions, they will not, nor increase in growth, nor bloom, but will remain eternally green.


Overmoistening is the most common mistakeBeginners of flower growers, but in due course you will learn to water properly a cactus. It is better to water a little, but more often than rarely, but flooding the cactus, because waterlogging can lead to rotting roots, and it is almost impossible to stop such a process.


If you want your house to be decorated with blossomingPlants, you can buy spathiphyllum, saintpolia, pelargonium, metrosideros, hibiscus, cleavage, decorative Kalanchoe. With minimal care for such flowers, they will delight you for a long time with their lush and bright flowering.


For beginners who do not know whichIndoor flowering plants are better to choose, florists recommend to look at pelargonium. It is an unpretentious flower, however, it requires a bright place, good watering in the summer and regular transplantation.


If it already happened that it was not possible to water pelargonium, do not worry, because its feature is the ability to accumulate moisture, so it can do without days of watering.


In winter it is necessary to switch to moderate watering. Even if these conditions of care for pelargonium are not observed, it will not perish, but the bloom will not be so magnificent. It is great for a small office, on the windows of which this beautiful plant will be located.


Hibiscus, or Chinese rose - unpretentiousRoom plant for office or other spacious premises. It represents a spreading bush with flowers-cups predominantly red with a long pestle in the middle. Hibiscus has many varieties, so do not be surprised if you see a blossoming Chinese rose with white, pink, orange or speckled flowers.


Hibiscus will please his mistress beautifulFlowering all year round. It's better to put it closer to the window sill, because without sufficient sunlight the rose will not bloom. Hibiscus needs frequent watering and regular feeding, especially such care is needed in the winter season so that the buds do not fall off.


Clivia - easy-to-care houseplant,Blooms twice a year. It tolerates diffuse sunlight well, loves penumbra, but here the permutation of the pot can severely damage the enema, worsening the condition of the flower. Watering it should not be more than once a week, and in the winter season, the frequency of watering is reduced to 1 time in two weeks.


The main advantage of the clivic content isThat she is absolutely indifferent to the level of humidity in the room. To keep the leaves attractive fresh appearance, they should be wiped periodically with a damp cloth.


Among the unpretentious shade-loving roomPlants, many housewives choose precisely spathiphyllum. Despite the fact that the flower grows well in the shade, he loves warmth. Watering it should be abundant, but between watering the top layer of the soil should dry well.


The leaves of the flower should be rinsed 1-2 times a week under a cool shower. With this Care spathiphyllum Will remain blooming throughout the year.


Many know the Kalanchoe as a medicinal plant,It is used to treat the symptoms of colds. Currently, there are many flowering hybrids of Kalanchoe that will decorate your house with blossoms almost all year round.


You can put the Kalanchoe anywhere in the house, inSunny or shaded. Kalanchoe has the property of accumulating moisture in the leaves, so the lack of regular watering does not lead to its death. It grows slowly and does not need frequent transplants.


Begonia - the most beautiful unpretentious plantFor the kitchen, which with its flowering will give cosiness and harmony to this place of the house. The flower loves the sun, but direct sunlight is dangerous for it, so it's better to place it in the kitchen in a slightly shady place.


Direct sunlight on leavesBegonia can lead to burns. Begonia prefers high humidity, but spraying is not suitable for it, because getting water on the leaves causes the appearance of dark spots. Water should be abundant, but, not allowing the stagnation of water in the pot.

"Greetings and blessings to you, precious one. What is attractive about a person is their character, their strengths, their goals, their beliefs. In some cases, it may be external things, and yet, for the most part, it is who they are and all of the richness they bring into the world and share with another. That is what you brought to this relationship in the first place. Who you became over time was a person who is in love with this other person, rather than a man of character, virtue, ideas, and goals. You lost who you were in the process of this relationship, and you lost what made you desirable to her in the first place.


"You have not done anything wrong or bad. This happens naturally for people in relationships when they are not strong and certain about who they are and about their character and strengths. Those become lost in the course of a relationship. For you, it would be best to allow your fairy tale to read onto the next page where it says, 'And they lived happily ever after. The End.' You close the book and say, 'That was a nice story. God bless those characters.' And you move on.


"Give thanks in your heart for having known this person and for having learned that in the course of falling deeply and wonderfully in love, you lose yourself. Then go about your life, without this person, rediscovering your strengths, your character, your virtues and goals. Focus on these and strengthen these. They are already instilled within you in a very deep way. Make contact with those things on the deepest level that you can, so that you bring them into the world and into your relationships, rather than bringing your neediness, your dependence, or your suffering, which came as a result of losing yourself in this relationship.


"Rediscover within you all of these things. You are the person that you want to get to know. When you feel strong and confident in who you are, bring that into the world and allow another relationship to unfold in your life, being mindful not to lose yourself in the process. It is not to be self-centered when you step into a relationship, but to continue to make yourself, your relationship with God, your family, your work, your goals, and your priorities as important as they truly are.


"You have everything within you that you need to accomplish this. It is only for you to make the decision and take the time to do this. Allow yourself to be motivated to maintain who you are and to allow your partner to maintain who they are so that the relationship becomes the blessing of the gifts that you each bring, knowing that you are stronger as a couple than the sum of your parts.


In order to improve relationships, many people have increasingly turned to Feng Shui remedies hoping to find a solution for their woes.


Whether you do the dumping or you are the one who got dumped, breakups are painful. If you initiated the breakup you may feel guilty, or question that you made the right decision. If you were the one who got dumped you may feel shocked, hurt, and angry. Breakups are painful for either party. There are things you can do to get through the breakup, to ease your pain. Sometimes breakups can bring a relationship closer together when both parties realize that they really were meant to be together, or they can be a blessing because you are no longer with the wrong person.


A lot of people have the wrong kind of love and don't even know it. If you are experiencing any of the following issues I have listed in this article, then you definitely have that wrong kind of love. You can try to fix it, if you have the time and patience, and if you think that there is something special about your guy. But if all you are getting from him is lots of heartache, then it is time to dump the load that is weighing you down and move on. Now let's get to it. If you have any of the following in your current relationship, you have a serious decision to make:


The focus of many of the last few articles has been on what is does a dangerous person look like, who you should avoid, but did you know that we all have personal red flags available if we just listen to them. Red Flags are signals that we all have, although they may differ just slightly. For some of us they are internal mental grumblings, for others of us it a sinking feeling you get inside, and for some when our bodies are really giving a message it is giving us a physical signs.


Modern technology hasn't solved any of the problems of creating and preserving a good relationship. Computers and the internet have merely added a new wrinkle in old pattern of love and loss. With websites that specialize in matching people up according to whatever criteria they choose, there are more and more people finding each other but, unfortunately, not many manage to stay together. While internet dating services may make it easier for people in one location to find people in a different location, it does absolutely nothing to give them the tools they need to stay together once they've met.


To manifest love through creative visualization, you first need to learn how to suspend or hold an image of the desired outcome in your mind in as much detail as possible.

1255758  how to buy ads and make them on their own, the real money in advertising these days is going to companies that can directly target very specific customers- which is why Facebook is cashing in beyond it’s wildest dreams and Yahoo is not. Note, the Dayton Daily had a partnership with Yahoo for a while.


In order to directly target customers for advertising, there are a couple of keys online: very specific content that is accessed by a distinct URL, with very little chance of inadvertent clicks (meaning ads that you are trying to navigate past to get to more content- don’t count as clicks when most of them are accidental) and that the content can’t be accessed without a click- meaning the whole paper as a picture on an iPad that can be scanned- isn’t worth a damn for generating targeting data.


Facebook is fighting click bait like crazy- the idea that you post content that forces a click with teasers is bad in their book- because it makes you go off their site to another- and this is the main way that the DDn is driving views and thinking they have a “social strategy”- they don’t.


Social media has been co-opted by idiots who think it’s a one way platform to foist your content and ads onto people. That may be 95% of what social is by current day practitioners- but it’s not. Social is two way – with hosted, moderated conversations- like the comments on this site. Where social discussion takes place. Very few old media have figured out the power of subscription to comments either via email or RSS- but, it’s what makes Facebook so powerful- example in case I’ve lost you- you comment on a friends post, every time someone else comments, you get a notification asking you to come back and comment again- that’s social strategy.


I could write an entire book on the strategy of effective social marketing- but instead I’ve been teaching my www.websitetology.com seminars since 2005. No one from the Dayton Daily news has ever taken the seminar- and it’s too bad- they might have learned something.


The Dayton Daily thinks their launch of www.Dayton.com is somehow a success. Rollins even thinks the clown posse they hired to help them with the marketing of it know what they are doing. Of course, when you’re bad, mediocre looks good. The reality is, adding more properties to manage isn’t the answer- launching good ones is. We’ve seen them try this before- and I mocked it then, anyone remember MeetFred.com?


The reality is that most of the people in journalism still don’t know how the internet can make their content gathering and curation so much easier and more powerful. You wouldn’t believe what I can learn in advance from this site and its web-stats. I know when almost anyone in the public sector is job hunting- or been naughty, before you’ll ever read about it in the Dayton Daily news. And just remember, this is the hobby site of one person- they have an entire paid staff doing theirs….


The real question is- and I ask this of my readers who’ve taken the time to read this, if they call, how much should I charge the people at Cox Media to tell them how to save their sorry “media empire?”

In the long stream of comments demanding the exorcism of the V from the new UD logo, a hint of how a Philly firm continues to do work for the University of Dayton. Turns out that UD, or should I say, VD, president Dan Curran has gotten his son hired by the fine folks at 160 over 90.


Assist the Executive Producer and Producer when helping clients with brand concepts, casting for film, casting voice-over talent for radio use, video/music licensing, project cost breakdowns and location scouting. Clients I have been on projects for include: Philadelphia Eagles, University of Florida, AAA, Under Armour, Park University, Chesnut Hill College, Wilkes University, Temple University


This is the same kind of BS that got us the very expensive “Get Midwest” dud campaign, when the Dayton Development Coalition hired our congressman’s wife to do the marketing on a no-bid contract.


Or how Dan Foley, son of a judge, gets to be a county commissioner. Or how Frances McGee-Cromartie, daughter of a former Dayton mayor, gets to be a judge and her husband gets to be the head of building inspection. It’s how we have 3 generations of Ritchies in the Dayton Waste Department- even if one can’t hold a driver’s license. It’s how Rhine McLin got to be a state rep- then mayor and now sits on the Board of Elections getting paid $20K a year for 2 meetings a month. It’s how Nan Whaley got on the Board of Elections for a short stint at age twenty-something. It’s how Phil Plummer got to be sheriff and Dave Vore before him, and Steve Dankof got to be a judge. It’s how Mike Ervin’s daughter got a job in the City Planning department despite cutbacks, and how Russ Joseph got his brother elected to the city commission. It’s how a recovering alcoholic a concert promoter with zero experience got to throw a music festival, with the city’s support, and walked away from a pile of bills. It’s how UD gives GE a sweetheart deal and the Dayton Public Schools don’t get to collect taxes. It’s how Bev King in the Board of Elections got her rapist brother hired, and the list goes on, and I’m just getting started…


Somehow, people in power in Dayton think it’s their god-given right to take care of their friends and family first instead of their duties to represent the community.


Other than for the obvious reason, Brother Ray Fitz would have never, ever, let there be a hint of nepotism happen under his watch.


To be fair, 160 over 90 has for some odd reason been UD’s “agency of record” for the last 6 years. The first I’d heard of them was last year when they came up with the lame bicycle giveaway. Instead of investing in a campus bike share system to tie into the upcoming City of Dayton bike share- the brilliant minds from Philly thought that giving away $600 bicycles to students about to spend about $45K a year was a great marketing idea. Of course, banks used to give away toasters to people who opened new accounts. It’s also been claimed that the VD logo has been in process for 18 months, and is being paid for by alumni. No one has identified the alumnus or the contract amount. This project started before kid Curran got the new gig.


The alumni have been flooding the school in protest ever since the new logo hit the Interwebs. In a short conversation with Eric Rickabaugh today, who designed the last hated logo, which almost everyone now prefers to the new VD logo- he said that UD had large committees to appease then, and he was early in his career of doing university rebrands. Now, he knows how to avoid these kinds of uprisings, by involving stakeholders in the process. He’s mildly amused by the circus around the new mark. Other schools are having much more fun with it. If the administration needs any better reason why to ditch this mark faster, from the Xavier boards came this gem:


The Dayton Business Journal ran another one of their unscientific surveys on the new logo: where over 80% dislike it so far, and another 10% don’t know yet- with 460 votes so far (which is high for them, unless it’s one of their “best of” polls which are routinely gamed)


Even the Flyer News ran a letter severely criticizing the new mark, the process and questioning why a Philly agency got the nod.


On the official UD Facebook page, there is now a comment suggesting that the university is reconsidering the mark. However when the President’s son is part of the equation, people will be stepping very carefully around this live hand grenade.


The passion of the Flyer Faithful is truly overwhelming. We have heard and read all of your comments and emails about the new athletics logo. Today, athletics is continuing to answer phone calls and emails, and hopes to respond as quickly as possible. Because of the volume of Facebook comments, not everyone will be personally addressed.


And while the comments and reviews of the agency on Facebook posted by incensed alumni, ultimately, the university presented what the university picked and approved.


The question is will anyone get fired over this design debacle? And how long will UD let this circus continue over a badly designed logo?


09:30 22 July- just realized that 160 over 90 self published a book “Three and a Tree”- “How to Take Down Bad University Marketing One Cliché at a Time” – or in this case “How to take down a university with bad marketing one VD logo at a time.”


If’s for sale on Amazon– but, what’s most interesting is there is Dr. Curran endorsing the book on the front of the webpage for it:


“If everyone throughout our university isn’t speaking with one voice our message can’t


I was meeting a friend at my apartment complex on a cloudy Sunday in August of 2016 in the capital city of a very boring state that is neither southern nor western, when a rather impeccably-dressed chauffer had pulled up in a tall, 8-person minivan with tinted windows.


It turns out that he was driving a major celebrity around, but didn’t divulge who it was at first. He had asked me where the office staff was, and I told him that usually there was one person around on Sundays.


He told me that there was supposed to be someone to meet them and give them a key, and let them into the complex.


I looked at the time and saw that it was just a little past 5:00 PM, and I knew that the staff liked to lock the doors and run as soon as the clock struck 5.


I pulled out my cell phone and proceeded to dig through my contacts to find the number for the maintenance line to let them know of the situation and perhaps they knew what to do.


As I proceeded to give him the number, the large sliding door opened and a man who was trying to keep a couple of jumpy young girls (assuming they were his own twin daughters, dressed the same) inside, identified himself as her “manager” and asked what was going on, and the chauffeur said that there was no one here and he was trying to ask me who to call.


The manager had looked a little irate and seemed that he had wanted to get settled down to some place to stay as soon as possible.


After he went back in the car and shut the door, the Chauffeur said that he would call the number I gave him or else take them to a nearby hotel that his other past clients had preferred.


He then divulged who the celebrity was, while going through his phone and proudly showing off who else he had driven.


I looked again at the window and could not believe how skinny this celebrity (A+ list mostly movie actress) was in real life, but had even more questions about why she was here alone with her “manager” and his kids, and at the very least not with a few of her own.


The chauffeur assured me things would be fine and said I could go off with my friend, and so we left.


Later, I tried to find out who this manager was, and it in fact was not her manager, but I matched the face of this manager to be that of her lawyer.


What was made even more interesting was that I know that her husband at the time had family that once had roots in the area but were no longer here.


I could not for the life of me figure out what she was doing in this city, with her lawyer, and his kids (who I’m 99% sure were also not accompanied by their mother on this trip).


The next week I spoke to the complex manager and while I was told that even though they knew a guest was coming, it was handled through a third party agency who failed to show up to hand off the keys and the gate codes.


They usually hear of some of the high-profile clients that stay there after they are gone but had they known that someone this big was coming, they would have arranged to have had someone there for a little longer that Sunday.


It was exactly a month later that a not-so-Nice trip pulled the trigger to cause the celebrity guest to file for divorce from her A+ list mostly movie actor husband at the time.


I have no doubt in my mind that perhaps this visit might have had something to do with the planning of it, in the very least.<|endoftext|>Beijing, October 28, 2014 – Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA) today announced that its online travel business, Taobao Travel (trip.taobao.com) will become an independent business and brand named "Alitrip" (去啊). Like Taobao Marketplace, Tmall.com and Juhuasuan, "Alitrip" will be another marketplace platform under Alibaba Group with a new independent web domain www.alitrip.com.


"This initiative is part of our Group's 'Live @ Alibaba' vision to diversify the company's products and services and become central to the everyday lives of consumers. This independent online travel platform is a logical extension of Alibaba Group's strategy and we are excited for the opportunity to build Alitrip into a leading platform for China's online travel sector. Alitrip will enrich our ecosystem and create value for users by providing them with high-quality service and an array of new functions," said Li Shaohua, general manager of Alitrip.


Alitrip currently has over 10,000 merchants on its platform providing airplane tickets, vacation packages, hotel booking services, visa application services and tour guide services. This, in combination with Alitrip's online payment infrastructure and customer protection scheme, differentiates Alitrip from other online travel sites.


Mr. Li also commented, "Traditionally, online travel businesses have always focused on the sales of travel products, while a large unmet demand for travel services remains. We aim to elevate the online travel sector to a higher level through Alitrip's service offerings."


Going forward, Alitrip will focus on four strategic areas, among which mobile and service offerings are its top priorities.


Mobile services – The Alitrip mobile app will combine all service functionalities that can be useful while traveling. Apart from easy cancellation of previous bookings, Alitrip customers can also book taxis, as well as set up flight seat preferences, which will automatically choose their preferred seats once tickets are purchased. Additionally, in order to attract and capture more mobile traffic, Alitrip will offer mobile promotions after this year's Singles Day (November 11), including certain flight tickets for just one RMB.


Product and service innovation – Alitrip will continually seek opportunities to enhance its service and product offerings through technology and innovation. For example, Alitrip customers can utilize a feature to pre-order and reserve travel products through their Yu'e Bao account, a money market product. The money they use for purchases will remain in their Yu'e Bao account and continue to generate interest until the confirmation of the transactions. Alitrip customers can also check into hotels without using credit cards for payment guarantee, by providing their Alipay account information for automatic fee deduction at the end of their stay.


Platform expansion – Hong Kong's flagship air carrier Cathay Pacific Airlines and Asia's leading hotel-booking site Agoda.com have signed agreements to join Alitrip ahead of the popular annual Singles Day shopping festival on November 11. Alitrip will work towards bringing additional leading airlines, travel agents and third-party service providers to join the thousands of merchants already operating on the platform.


Consumer protection – In order to provide customers with security and convenience, Alitrip will offer no-questions-asked refunds to consumers for tickets or hotel reservations within one hour. In order to protect consumers' interests, Alitrip will also operate a RMB100 million consumer protection fund through which refunds can be allocated back to its customers right away.


Alitrip will be an integral part of Alibaba Group's ecosystem, offering a wide range of vacation travel products and services from leading travel service providers.


Alibaba Group's mission is to make it easy to do business anywhere. The company is the largest online and mobile commerce company in the world in terms of gross merchandise volume. Founded in 1999, the company provides the fundamental technology infrastructure and marketing reach to help businesses leverage the power of the Internet to establish an online presence and conduct commerce with hundreds of millions of consumers and other businesses.

Alibaba Group also provides payment and/or escrow services on its marketplaces through its contractual arrangements with Ant Financial Services Group, a related company of Alibaba Group which operates Alipay (www.alipay.com).


Through China Smart Logistics (or Zhejiang Cainiao Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd.), a 48%-owned affiliate, Alibaba Group operates a central logistics information system that connects a network of express delivery companies in China.<|endoftext|>"In this first of the Dragon Masters series, vocabulary is accessible; sentences, paragraphs, and chapters are short; and dialogue moves the story along rapidly.

Forensic scientist Stephen Andrews examined the set and said the fire had originated from the TV and not from another source.


Fire investigator Paul Jarrett agreed that the fault originated from the TV set and was certainly not due to Mr Rudolfson being a smoker.


Two representatives from Comet agreed with the finding from Mr Jarrett that the TV had been the origin of the fire.


Coroner Nicholas Rheinberg accepted that the cause of death had been broncho-pneumonia caused by burns, as outlined by pathologist Dr William Kenyon, and multiple sclerosis had been a contributing factor.


He said: 'Although Mrs Rudolfson was very ill with multiple sclerosis, I accept Dr Kenyon's evidence that the principle cause of the pneumonia was burns. My conclusion is that she died of an accident.'


Mr Rheinberg added that on the balance of probability the fire had originated from the TV, but it was impossible to say whether this originated from the failure of a component or a manufacturing defect.<|endoftext|>Songs from the Evolution of Gospel Music is an album of music that traces the development of Gospel Music from the time of slavery to the present.<|endoftext|>Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz showdown on March 3rd for the WBC heavyweight world title and ahead of the bout they have traded blows verbally – and then some.


On an international phone call Wilder and Ortiz’s manager spoke in a war of words with all the journalists on the call listening in.


This happened after Cuban challenger Ortiz pulled out of their original date due to a suspension from a doping test.


The two saw one another at ringside after Deontay Wilder’s last fight where he beat Bermane Stiverne in a brutal knockout in a rematch.


This phone call (hat tip Fight Hype YouTube) illustrates as much with Ortiz’s manager as passionate as he was:


At one point you can Ortiz’ representatives asking Wilder to answer a question, to which Wilder was clearly incensed by and replied:


Some have suggested that Ortiz’ technical boxing ability could present a number of problems for the perceived more unpolished Wilder.


But Wilder’s power and raw athleticism makes him a big favourite going into the fight with most bookmakers.

On Guard is one of dōTERRA’s most popular oil blends used to support the immune system and help kill off harmful bacteria and viruses. This “protective/immune boosting” blend contains a mixture of five essential oils including:


Clove Bud oil alone has over one million in antioxidant capacity on the Oxygen Radical Absorbancy Capacity (ORAC) scale, far exceeding common foods known for their antioxidant capacities such as blueberries (2,400).


What makes On Guard unique and effective? Not only is On Guard a proprietary mix of powerful essential oils, but the essential oils used in dōTERRA On Guard are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade®(CPTG). This means that the oils that make up dōTERRA On Guard have been put through the CPTG® protocol. dōTERRA puts each batch of essential oils through this protocol to be thoroughly tested and to determine the purity of each essential oil. If the essential oil batch is found pure, then the oils are then sold as single oils or blends, like dōTERRA On Guard, so that individuals around the world can experience their benefits.


– Place one drop of dōTERRA On Guard in four ounces of fluid and drink. You can also add On Guard to a veggie capsule and ingest that way.


– On Guard emits a warm, spicy, and woody aroma. Diffusing On Guard will fill the air with its sweet scent and provide an energizing and uplifting fragrance. When diffused, On Guard purifies the air, which is especially important during the fall and winter months! Diffusing is a great way for the whole family to receive the benefits of this protective blend. According to dōTERRA Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Hill, you only need to diffuse On Guard for 15 minutes a day to receive the immune boosting benefits.


– Kick off the day with a scrumptious pair of immune boosting pancakes. Yes, you can cook with On Guard too. Try adding 1-2 drops to pancake batter or French toast for a twist on traditional favorites.


– On Guard contains cleansing and purifying benefits that can be used to clean household surfaces. For a natural and nontoxic cleaner, add a couple drops of On Guard to a spray bottle filled with water and use it as an effective all-purpose cleaner.


– Apply 1-2 drops of On Guard to the bottoms of the feet once or twice a day during the fall and winter months. Rub On Guard on the bottom of a child’s feet during the school season.


On Guard is one of dōTERRA’s most popular essential oil blends due to its versatility. Learn more about the On Guard line or for more information about it and other essential oils that can be used for common cold and flu season discomforts, contact Diana Leighow, dōTERRA Wellness Advocate at 570-849-0019 or email, or visit Just a Drop’s Facebook page.

Many people assume that timber buildings perform poorly in fire situations due to the nature of wood. However, even though timber does burn, it actually has significant insulating properties and burns in a slow and predictable way.


When timber is exposed to the heat of a fire, it goes through a thermal breakdown process and a layer of charcoal forms on its surface. This charred layer is the key to timber’s fire resistance, acting as an insulator that protects the inner core. Although the temperature at the char layer may be 300°C, the temperature

On a recent set of on call shifts I met James,* who my team treated for pulmonary emboli. He was a lovely man; visits to check he was on enough oxygen to maintain his saturations and to assess his haemodynamic status were a joy, due to his easy manner and good humour.


One one occasion I was with my Consultant, who had known James for a while prior to this admission. At the end of the consultation he asked a very powerful question “is there anything else on your mind?” At this point I was closing the notes folder and putting my pen in my pocket, expecting to move on to the next patient. But James did have something on his mind.


What I have not mentioned is that James is HIV positive. He has been living with HIV for many years and facing the challenges associated with this with resolve and good humour. His current problem was not directly related to his HIV status, but as is the usual practice whilst he was in hospital he was cared for by both the general medical team, and the “immune deficiency team” who were able to advise on potential interactions with his ARVs and give other specialist input.

I recently cared for Ernest,* an 87 year old gentleman who spent around two weeks on my ward. Prior to admission his health was poor. He was bed-bound due to the late stages of a degenerative neurological disease, and had associated cognitive impairment. He had several other health complaints, and had been in hospital multiple times in the previous year with infections. He had always responded to antibiotics but his condition and level of interaction with the world had declined with each admission. On arrival to our ward I noticed that he did not have a DNAR order and, since he was not able to discuss his wishes, I looked to the family for information and to broach this subject. I was surprised to find that several vocal family members were adamantly against a DNAR. I had lengthy discussions explaining my reasons for believing that attempts at resuscitation would be futile and that setting limits of care was important to ensure we pursued quality, not just quantity of life. They listened, seemed to understand, and themselves identified his frailty, deterioration over the last year, and decline in his quality of life. However they strongly objected to us making him “not for attempted resuscitation.” As the end of the week approached I felt uncomfortable about the lack of a DNAR order, and about the possibility of this frail gentleman suffering a brutal and undignified exit to the world should his heart stop.

Recently I treated and discharged a 101 year old gentleman. Back to his own home. And not a care package in sight.


As a hospital physician I rarely meet this group of older people, living full and independent lives. My view of the over 65s is coloured by my frequent encounters with the most unlucky ones; suffering from chronic disease, dementia, cancer and frailty. But they exist, these sprightly centenarians and in increasing numbers. And even more common are older people with a lot to contribute to society, but in need of a little support in order to maximise their potential. Between now and 2050 the number of people aged 80 years will almost quadruple to 395 million. At that point, there will be more people over 65 than children under 14. Our world is changing, but are we ready for this global silver revolution?


As a broad generalisation “western society,” does not value age, experience and wisdom. Our culture is obsessed with youth and a narrow definition of beauty which has no time for those perceived as “past their prime.” But in the last few weeks I seem to have read an abundance of good news stories about older people doing incredible things. On Saturday Live on BBC R4 I listened in awe and fascination to Mary Hobson who took a degree in Russian in her 60s and now, in her 80s is winning awards for her version of Pushkin.

On December 15, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visits India for the second time after the gap of five years. A strong delegation consisting of about 300 business groups accompany him during this much publicized three days visit to India. After visiting India, Chinese Premier will fly straight to Pakistan, all seasoned companion of China, which also raise an aura of concerns for India. Prior to Wen Jiabao's visit to India, the Chinese foreign ministry expressed hope for an agreement on 'a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable settlement through frank dialogue and consultation on an equal footing' with regarding to border disputes. However, this year marks the 60th anniversary of Sino-indian diplomatic exchange, China implies to look forward for a friendly cooperation and regarded India as a cooperative parters rather than competing rivals.1


In the course of my life, for more than half a century, June 1989 was the major turning point. Up to that point, I was a member of the first class to enter university when college entrance examinations were reinstated following the Cultural Revolution (Class of ’77). From BA to MA and on to PhD, my academic career was all smooth sailing. Upon receiving my degrees, I stayed on to teach at Beijing Normal University. As a teacher, I was well received by the students. At the same time, I was a public intellectual, writing articles and books that created quite a stir during the 1980s, frequently receiving invitations to give talks around the country, and going abroad as a visiting scholar upon invitation from Europe and America. What I demanded of myself was this: whether as a person or as a writer, I would lead a life of honesty, responsibility, and dignity. After that, because I had returned from the U.S. to take part in the 1989 Movement, I was thrown into prison for “the crime of counter-revolutionary propaganda and incitement.” I also lost my beloved lectern and could no longer publish essays or give talks in China. Merely for publishing different political views and taking part in a peaceful democracy movement, a teacher lost his lectern, a writer lost his right to publish, and a public intellectual lost the opportunity to give talks publicly. This is a tragedy, both for me personally and for a China that has already seen thirty years of Reform and Opening Up.


We are Tibetans, the unfortunate one who happen to lost its nation due to the ignorance and self centered attitude of elite class. But looking from the Buddhist point of view it can be said as a result of collective demerits of Tibetans. Whatever the cause may be we all suffered and common people suffer the worst even though they did not have a word say in framing of policies that made them to suffer. There are different school of thoughts and each one has different interpretation of how? what? who? and why Tibet lost its independence. Let the History speak of these..

The determination and perseverance of generation at that time though illiterate was able to keep the spirit alive and flowing. The sense of urgency was very much there. And it is that sense of urgency that pulls the energy of Tibetan diaspora into one common factor called "Restoration of Rangzen".


"It is important for India to keep the hopes of the Tibetan youth alive." -B. Raman, Additional Secretary (retd), Cabinet Secretariat, Govt. of India, New Delhi


This morning I read an article 'The Internal Political Situation in China' (06 December 2010, www.eurasiareview.com) written by B. Raman, a noted Sinologist based in Chennai. The last paragraph of the article caught me as it concludes in saying that India needs to keep the hopes of young Tibetans alive by showing stronger association with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He concluded that if India distant herself from Tibet, it will be a lost to India in the future, taking into consideration of China's dominance in Tibet.


An information published on a Chinese government website towards the end of September 2010 makes it obvious that the authorities in Beijing are encouraging their overseas agents to infiltrate the Tibetan communities abroad to undermine the unity and strength of the Tibetans. Attached here is the screen shot of the web page.


The document states that working within the Tibetans abroad is an important part of the government's struggle against the Dalai clique and therefore, it is important to strive hard to pull the hearts and minds of the Tibetans abroad towards the Motherland


1255763  nearly gone dirty snow. So very depressing looking. Those burp clothes look professionally done--does this mean you'll open a Lady Dunbar etsy shop soon?!


so i met your SIL today. i recognized baby grace on her blog! what a doll. grace, i mean. hee he. anyway, what a cool fam you have.


You did a GREAT job on those burp cloths!!! So cute! I haven't made anything in a while, but hat scarf looks like a fun idea! Where is yours? I want to see it! We should have a sewing party and teach eachother stuff...not that I have something to teach, but I would love to learn new stuff. Sewing is NOT easy, I get too wrapped up in it too. I stayed up WAY too late making T's Halloween costume that up close was a riot!


The weather is too funny! I was at school today and a parent came up in a sweatshirt and running shorts! I told her she was crazy it was FREEZING and she laughed, and said you guys are crazy, I'm from Ohio...this is NOTHING. We are spoiled :)


High five, girl. Those burp cloths are fabulous. You did it. I am so not the seamstress. When I made pillowcases for the Kid's party and I actually finished, I did a happy dance for myself too. You should try it, the happy dance feels good. Oh my word, if the Nubs was in that preschool class with the bunny, that would be it. A bunny would be on the bday list. I can't handle that right now...


That bunny is adorable with those big floppy ears. My oldest daughter wants another pet. Anything from a fish, turtle, bunny, mouse... seriously - whatever. I keep saying "no" because we have 3 dogs. That's enough.


Those curp cloths are adorable. I so wish I knew how to sew something. I've never even sat down with a sewing maching before, but my mom can sew, quilt, etc. Why I never picked any of that up from her I don't know.


I love your burp rags. So cute! You are not the only one who can't sew. I too am a sewing misfit. I never took lessons and I don't think I ever will. This is just one things that I am not good at and have zero interest in. I have to take simple clothing repairs to my moms - you know, buttons and such. Thank God I have a mom that sews well! lol.


good for you! i too want to get better at sewing! i have all these dreams of making cute things for my little girl but keep putting it off! by the time i do it she will be too old to like the stuff i make! thanks for making me think about it again! i will let you know if i am able to sew something!<|endoftext|>In the same way, saying that something is only 30% likely to occur according to the null hypothesis, is not enough pain to say that the data does not fit the model. But there is a threshold, called a p-value (p stands for "probability", not "pain"). In fact, most scientists use a 5% threshold.


Usually when we talk about p-values, we're in the middle of doing some sort of statistics (like a t-test, a regression, or a chi-square test). But p-values work just as well for the brute-force simulation we're discussing here. The idea is, if the hypothesized process (in this case, random sickdays) produces the observed data less than 5% of the time, then the hypothesized process is probably NOT responsible for the data.


If you were following that closely, you realize that in order to show that the data fits the model, you need to show that the hypothesized process produces the observed data MORE THAN 5% of the time. On the other hand, if you are familiar with t-tests or regression, you know that a "good" result is one in which your value is LESS THAN the p-value.


The reason for this discrepancy is that with a t-test you are trying to DISPROVE the null hypothesis. In a goodness of fit test, you are trying to SUPPORT the null hypothesis.

Production photos are the lifeblood of publicity; they catch attention and draw people in. I make it my mission to capture the essence of the overall story arch and deliver it through you to your patrons.


My business is the theater; I freelance as both a photographer and a lighting designer. In fact years ago, I became serious about photography in order to document my designs. I understand the design and production process and I am highly versed in theatrical story telling. It is the story that we sell to the audience and to tell it, we need more than just pretty pictures of actors. I typically shoot in real time during one of the dress rehearsals. I find that this results in the most dynamic and engaging shots. I can also, of course, capture excellent images during a pose-and-hold photo call if that is preferred. Sitting in the sixth row with a telephoto lens is a great way to get flat, boring photos. My preferred tools are very fast, wide prime lenses and I am in almost constant motion to find the ideal composition.


Words are no substitute for images. Please enjoy the selection of my theater photography below. Click “Contact” above to set up a consultation and portfolio review. Every theater is unique so I will work with you to tailor my services to best suit your needs and your budget. Never settle for anything less than the best.

We will start early in the morning to Pserimos Island for breakfast and a swimming break. Then we will cruise to the beautiful island of Leros. Leros is a mountainous, green island with high cliffs and many small bays and villages. After lunch and a swimming break in Xerakampos, we will anchor at Lakki harbour or Agia Marina Port located in the east.


We will cruise to Patmos island early in the morning. We will have a swimming break in a bay around the island. Patmos is not a big island, but it is one of the best known due to the exile of St. John. You may join an optional Patmos Monastery and Cave of St. John Tour. Dinner and overnight stay will be in Patmos harbour.


We will set sail to Lipsi island and have a swimming break in one of the many small islands around it. On Lipsi there are beautiful sandy beaches, like Platis and Giolos, with their crystal green waters. Dinner and overnight stay in Lipsi.


We will take a swimming break in a beautiful bay around Kalymnos island and then enter Pothia Harbour, which is the island's capital. The islanders have ensured their livelihood with sponge diving for centuries. There are nice beaches such as Massouri, Mirtiesand Vlyhadia around the island.


For the purposes of completing customs formalities we will enter the port of Turkey. We will have a swimming break in the beautiful waters of Akvaryum (Aquarium) bay where you can see the fish swimming below you. We will be moored in Bodrum harbour for dinner and our final overnight stay.


Guests are politely requested to leave the boat by 10:30 after breakfast and transfer to the airport for your return journey.

"We were able to cruise for the most part from that point on, minus a couple lazy turnovers, and finish the game with a 83-74 victory."


Against Ft. Scott the Beavers experienced turmoil as well. Both teams traded leads during the first half, but the Ft. Scott Greyhounds headed into the locker room up 2 at half.


The Beavers ramped up their defensive efforts to start the second half though, and quickly built a 15 point lead, only to see it slowly dwindle through bad decision making on offense and worse defense.


"Once overtime began, our fellas decided they indeed wanted to win, and pulled out the necessary stops to make it happen," said Shaw. "The Ft. Scott affair was eerily similar to some games we had last year, except we decided to win."


On Saturday, Aaron Abram and Randall Rogers stepped up with 18 pts and 12 pts respectively, and DeShun Roberts gave the Beavers some great minutes in the second half. Javis Flynn was the player of the weekend though with his leadership on the court and desire to win.<|endoftext|>DESCRIPTION & Details: This Diamond Bracelet has 1/6 ct Total Weight of Stunning F Color VS Clarity Diamonds.

Back in 1995, while the Neo Geo was still not in the latter half of its commercial existence, the Super NES has already started its fatal decline. Indeed, the 16-bit of Nintendo was then only destined to host sporadic releases of good games - including Yoshi's Island and the latest Donkey Kong Country - while the bell tolls with the last title (Frogger) beign released in 1998. But like it was the case for SNK's system, the latest games to hit the SNES market remain the most impressives ones. Final Fight Tough, strong with a 32 megabits cartridge, has come to impress... no doubt about that! And at first sight, the graphics have not been botched. The result is downright impressive for a title running on this system, as no Beat them Up made on it even comes close. The backgrounds are declined on a palette very well chosen, with beautiful effects of relief on the various vehicles and buildings. The characters are finely drawn and show a nice attention to detail that still improves the picture.


The soft also features some nice kinematics highlighting the scenario, either at the beginning of the game or between the different stages. Capcom is applied and we feel that Nintendo's 16-bits console spits its guts! The animation in Final Fight 2 was already doing good, but this third installment yet improves it: the smoothness of the main characters is remarkable and the game speed perfectly set... only downside, enemies are slightly bumbling but well, it doesn't change from what we've seen before! There are a lot of interactions with the backgrounds (players can break windows, sink doors, barrels, plus the various animations ) and this is especially significant in a Beat 'em Up. There's some slowdowns and flashes when two players cooperate, but these are still rare. About the soundtrack, we will not dwell too much on the subject... the Super NES being moderately equipped to spit good sound on the one hand, and Capcom having never done too much for the soundtracks of its past Final Fight games.


The good news that most of you readers were waiting for, is not only that Final Fight 3 features a cooperative play, but this time you can play with the CPU as a partner! A fun mode for the people who don't have friends, in which you can adjust the aggressiveness of your teammate and choose his fighter. About the fighters, there's also some good news: this time, fourare avilable instead of three! We have the ever-present Haggar, but also Guy who makes a resounding come-back. Small newcomers named Dean and Lucia are pretty different from our two heroes, which makes them interesting to discover. The game is long with six levels and bonus stages, all taking place in varied areas of the city (bus, boat, landfill...). Only drawback, Final Fight Tough is way too easy: Any player worthy of the name game might clear it on the first time with a single credit. The progression is simple through the waves of anemic enemies, and the Bosses really poorly aggressive. Let me give you an advice: try Expert mode directly!


But the highlight of this third episode, as for almost every other fighting production from the editor, it is the gameplay. Capcom became the master of Beat them Up genre through the years, and Final Fight Tough packs every single element that provides fun and entertainment in those games. Everything that made the success of Final Fight is still there: jumping moves, wrestling moves, weapons to pick up, elements to destroy... Capcom even added some new features: dash, backdash, running attacks, special moves and 'Supers', and even some new throws. All this stuff is - of course - declined to the four different heroes, this rocksl! Still, one can blame this opus for its difficulty made for 3-years old children and its average soundtrack, but everything goes from very good to excellent. This Final Fight 3 only lacks

Cricket.-Despite the weather we have managed to keep up to date with the Leslie Ames competi tion, the semi-finalists being E.S.S.C., Gun Wharf, No. I Shop and Painters. The semi-finals are due for completion by August 6, and the final will be played on August I3. The teams a ppear well matched, but a little bird whispers " Watch Gun Wharf!''

London Area on July 4 was spoiled by the wretched weather. After gazing at the continu ously falling rain for over an hour, it was decided to have an early tea with the hope of subsequent improvement. ·But though our hopes were doomed to disappointment, the teams decided to play a few token ends, which eventually became fifteen, so keen were the players despite the rain and the handicap of playing in raincwats and with wet woods. London managed to score their usual


victory_; I th�nk th� score was 86-74.

Thir good has been elected chairman, and Mr. J. Allen, secretary. These two officers, with Messrs. Beck, Francis and Thornton, will . form the committee. I attended their second meeting and was very favourably impressed by the businesslike way the representatives got down to their problems. There will probably be twenty-one clubs in the League, divided into two divisions as follows: ---Div. 1: Boat House, Boiler Dept., E.A.0;, E.E.M., Gil lingham Electric, Joiners, M.C.D. Office, M.E.n. Coppersmiths, Pioneers, Post Office and T.E.O. Div. 2: C.M.D.O., · E.S.S.C., Factory Social, Painters, Plumbers, No. 1 Shop, R.N.A.D., S.N.S.O. Office,- Taxes, and Welders.

We shall again compete in the .Medway Towns T.T. League, of which we are Division 1 The home match will, as far as champions. possible, be played on the remaining Wednesday evenings.
