I have uploaded some pictores to TC pseudofolders inside item revisions but when I have to quickly search pictures, sorting by name, date, looking thumnails previews as I use to do in windows environment I find it a bit slow. What is the best way to store pictures in TC? Why are you storing pictures in pseudofolders? I think it's very wrong way. Store your pics in datasets. The pseudofolder's behavior is explicitly show relations between some objects.

What is it, what does it do? – A VPN is often described a secure tunnel for your online traffic. It encrypts your transmissions and protects data, your passwords and things like usernames. Vital if you are serious about protecting your stuff! You can install a VPN on pretty much any device capable of accessing the Internet, your laptop, desktop, tablet and smartphone for example. Sounds complicated! – It really isn’t, there are a host of providers out there, with easy to follow applications and installation wizards. My personal favourite is Express VPN other options are of course available! How much does it cost? – The cost varies, my own experience is that the more you pay the greater options and functionality you have. I would recommend you do not use free services, ask yourself, why would anyone offer to take care of your data for free? Why would you use it? – If you value your security and privacy this really is a no brainer. It’s particularly useful if you have to access public WiFi as it stops the snoopers and cyber criminals. If you use the Web to find information you can also appear to be in another country. This is particularly useful if you wish to avoid EU-GDPR restrictions and ‘Right to be Forgotten’ issues which apply within the European Union. In other words you might find more information if you are on a non European IP address. Holiday abroad and want to watch BBC iPlayer or similar services? You can use a VPN to get access. Although increasingly service providers are recognising VPN servers and blocking them.

It’s a continuation of a trend they have seen over the last several years. “It’s been almost three years of nothing but above normal temperatures for the most part,” Zierden told the Bradenton Herald in a phone inteview Monday. He noted that the last 21 consecutive months have all been warmer than what is considered normal. Tampa is one of the weather stations showing a record warm ranking, according to a second tweet from Zierden. According to the Florida Climate Center, the average temperature in Tampa during November was 72.1 degrees, three degrees warmer than normal. Most of the state exhibited a similar, warmer-than-normal trend. “All of that is consistent with what other parts of the world have seen and what we expect with climate change, and so I would certainly think climate change has its fingerprints on the recent trend of above-normal temperatures,” Zierden said. In Manatee County, there were nine record-setting high temperatures through November, according to NCEI daily weather records. Six days through November tied for record- high temperatures. However, Zierden cautioned, just because the average temperatures have been warmer doesn’t mean Florida won’t see cold snaps this winter. Across the country, it’s been an above-average year for temperatures, the report from the National Centers for Environmental Information shows. The year-to-date U.S. average temperature, 56.4 degrees, was the third warmest on record. That’s 2.61 degrees above the 20th century average, according to the NCEI. The warmest year on record for the U.S. was 2012, when the average temperature through November was 57.04 degrees, NCEI archives show. Spectrum Bay News 9 Meteorologist Josh Linker said average temperatures will likely remain above average at least through Christmas, but just by a couple of degrees each day. Temperatures, however, return to average for the last few days of the year. Linker said December is currently averaging less than 1 degree above normal, due in part to a recent week of cooler weather.

Why should you Laminate your Hardwood Floors? The lamination is done by a synthetic product which is applied in various layers. it is designed to shine the outer surface of hardwood. Hardwood floors are like laminated floors but different. Because the two terms are used interchangeably, it is important to know the pros and cons of both types of flooring so that you can choose what works best with you. If you want you to want to convert your hardwood floors into laminate wood flooring, know the following facts about both types of floor. The bare surface of the wood is prime a core layer of melamine resin. The resin is what provides the hardwood a waterproof coating and shine. The fiberboard material is then applied to make faux wood texture to regain the touch of the wood which has been shadowed by the use of resin. The laminate hardwood flooring is apparently different from that of untreated hardwood. The shine isn’t there in the raw wood, the texture is incredibly obvious and the wood grain is tremendously abundant whereas laminated floor offers a glass-like feel and finish. The untreated wood can never offer similarity; if you are fond of different textures and colors, you can go with the Harwood. When no tint or staining has been applied to the surface of the wood, the original color is what it all has, and since every plank is of different color and texture, the floors made with unprocessed wood are unique in designs. However, when you are required to lay a wooden floor to a defined area, you must know that it is essential to maintain uniformity so that the house is alike. You can’t place wood of all colors and hues to the entire house, it is essential to have at least a few pieces of matching color to form a theme and design. The processed wooden floors are treated with either a tint or stain because of which the color throughout the floor appears the same. Since a layer of melamine resin and aluminum oxide is added on the top of the wood, the laminated floors are harder. The resin doesn’t only provide the shine it forms a strong surface above the wood, because of these coating the hardwood becomes more durable. The wood becomes water resistant after a good coat of lamination. This fact that the moisture can’t penetrate the material makes the floor stronger. You will not incur any moisture damage if the surface is layered with good lamination. Since the wood is a porous an alive substance, the water finds its way in through the pores residing in the substance. Wet or moist woods are prone to the damage a lot like rot and mold. The laminated wood flooring is very hard to repair. Once the damage occurs the plank can be removed but even after a careful repair, the replaced planks will show out because of the difference in the application of the resin. When you are laminating a whole floor, you can get an even coat and smooth application of the product all along, but while laminating only a board, it is difficult to match the color with the rest of the floor. The amount of aluminum oxide applied on the surface is the factor which is responsible to reflect light and if it is not applied in an effective way, the color of the boards will appear different. Hardwood is easy to maintain. You can clean the surface with a mop or a damp sponge, soap solutions and regular cleaners but with the finished or treated woods, you can’t do that. Regular cleaners can damage the shine of the wood and may permanently eliminate the sparkle. The surface should be protected from the scratches because polished wood makes the notches visible a little more.

If you want to use a hand cursor (like web browsers use when the mouse is over a link) you either have to have Windows 2000 or above, or use a resource. [Yes, this is an old article, but it is kept in to demonstrate the technique] The trouble with resources is that you need to know the Resource ID and for the little classes offered on this site, that is not known. So this little class steals the Hand Cursor from a standard Win32 file and uses CopyCursor (and DeleteCursor) to create a local copy. You can see it in use in the Web Link Button and MSN Message Window in this section.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus - Home Treatment. Just like any type of diabetes, gestational diabetes needs more than medicine to get it treated successfully. It needs you, for you are the person who determines the health of your pregnancy. Your registered dietitian, diabetes educator, your doctor and other members of your healthcare team can teach you about proper care for yourself and your baby so that both of you are protected from any complications that may arise. If you have all the necessary knowledge available on gestational diabetes, there can be no problem during and after your pregnancy. Once you know the effects of exercise and food on your blood glucose levels, you can avoid gestational diabetes complications. Testing your blood glucose level, regular exercise and changes in the time, amount and types of food you eat are important in gestational diabetes home treatment. Changing the type of food you eat, eating at regular times and the quantity consumed at each meal can ensure that your blood glucose level remain in a safe range. After your gestational diabetes diagnosis, a registered dietitian will help you to plan meals suitable for you. You may be required to keep a record of the foods you consume and your weight. Your dietitian will also show you how to carbohydrate counting so that you eat almost the same amount at each meal to reach a certain total at the end of each day. Moderate exercise done regularly throughout the pregnancy improves the sensitivity of your body towards insulin and this helps blood glucose level control. Most of the time, eating the right foods and exercise are sufficient for gestational diabetes treatment. There should be a minimum of two and a half hours of moderate exercise each week. To accomplish this takes only 30 minutes of exercise each day for five days or more a week. You can even do 10 minute sessions so long as you get a total of 2½ hours each week. For pregnant women who have been leading a sedentary life or have no regular exercise before pregnancy, they need to discuss with their doctor before any regular exercise. Suitable exercises for pregnant women are those that do not strain the lower part of the body. So, it is fine to exercise the arm muscles by using a machine known as the arm ergometer; or exercise the leg muscles by using a recumbent bike which has a chair-like seat that is suitable for women who are pregnant. There are also exercise classes especially for women who are pregnant. Walking and swimming are two low-impact exercises which are also suitable. If it is possible for you to get your blood glucose to remain in the safe range through changes in your eating and exercise, it will not be necessary for you to take any diabetes medication. However, if you need insulin, keep ready with you some sugary food like 4 glucose tablets or some hard candy so that you can use them if you get low blood glucose symptoms such as confusion, blurred vision and sweating during exercise. If you believe your blood glucose level is too low, stop the activity, test your blood glucose level, and consume the sugary foods you have. Doing home blood glucose level testing is a necessary part of gestational diabetes treatment. You will need to do blood glucose checking at home at least once every day. It can be tough when you have to check your blood glucose frequently but from such testing, you will know you have no need to worry as your blood glucose level is in the safe range. Find out from your doctor how often you should check your blood glucose. Daily insulin injections may be necessary if your blood glucose level cannot be managed through exercising and the way you eat. Do not attempt to reduce weight during pregnancy if you were already overweight before the pregnancy. Find out from your doctor the possible weight increase during your pregnancy. You may be taught by your doctor to count the number of kicks by your baby. You are required to notify your doctor if there is less than the usual number of kicks from the baby. Your blood glucose level can go lower than the safe range if you use insulin for your gestational diabetes. Although women with gestational diabetes seldom experience low blood glucose, you should know its symptoms and be prepared with sugary foods throughout the day.

Depending on where you are in your life, you might be thinking about where you will be at the end of the day or at the end of your career. When planning your retirement options, we want to make sure we offer a variety of plans. We are part of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Instead of participating in Social Security, CalOptima employees contribute a percentage of their pre-tax earnings to their CalPERS account. CalOptima contributes the same percentage of the employee’s regular earnings into this account. This is a defined benefit retirement plan in which the retirement benefit is based on the employee's years of service, final/highest compensation, and age at retirement. Regular, full-time employees become vested in the plan after five years of service. We also offer a Defined Contribution Supplemental Retirement Plan through the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), a 401(a) tax-qualified multiple employer trust. CalOptima contributes to this on each employee’s behalf. All contributions are automatically invested in a life-cycle mutual fund based on your current age and is managed by John Hancock Retirement Services. These life-cycle funds are professionally managed investments that automatically adjust to become more conservative over time as you approach your retirement date. If you wish to manage your own investments, you have the ability to select among 20 different mutual funds representing different investment sectors. A voluntary 457 Deferred Compensation Plan is also offered. Section 457 plans are available to public agencies and are similar to 401(k) plans in the private sector. The employee determines the amount of pay they wish to contribute, via payroll deductions, on a pre-tax basis. The employee determines from a selection of options how their money will be invested. The plan is portable, so it may be “rolled over” to most other retirement plans.

When we went to the beach a few weeks ago, Kate and Lexi had their first surf lesson. They have been interested in surfing for a long time and dreamed of having a chance to try it for themselves. Most people in Memphis and Birmingham go to the Gulf when they go to the beach, but we always go to the Atlantic with my family. I figured we should take advantage of the upside of the longer drive and give them a little something to remember. It started with a long walk to the beach, carrying their boards. They patiently learned all the things you need to learn on the beach. They did safety exercises and practiced good posture. They tried a few things from just a few yards out, getting a feel for the board under their feet. Then we watched as the instructor led them out far from the shore. Then there are the few seconds you have to find your balance as you try to get on your feet. I wish you could see the delight on Kate’s face when she realized she was really surfing. Trying new things is not easy. Watching Kate and Lexi learn to surf was thrilling and frightening and humbling all at once. The whole experience made me start thinking about this latest round of job hunting. It’s hard to put myself out there and be willing to fail. But like a child who dreams of catching a wave and popping up onto her feet, I must be prepared to fall and to let the waves beat me. Only then will I know the true delight of doing what I only hoped I could. Thankful for these two, parenting them is a constant education. Happy Birthday to Lexi who is SEVEN today! She is full of life and navigates all kinds of situations with ease: diligent in the classroom, tenacious on the soccer field, fun with friends. I am proud to be her mom. What was the best thing about being 6? Starting first grade. What are you most proud of learning? How to do cartwheels. What was the best book you read? The one I am reading right now, Absolutely Lucy by Ilene Cooper. What is your favorite song? I like too many to choose. What is your favorite tv show? Shake it Up! What are you looking forward to about being 7? Going to the beach on vacation. What college do you want to go to? I’m only seven, Mom. Do you think you’ll get married when you grow up? Have any kids? Yes, I think I’ll get married and have one kid. What do you want to be when you grow up? A rockstar when I am a teenager and a veterinarian when I am an adult. I’ve been applying for jobs for a while. Applying for jobs is one of the anxiety-producing, dehumanizing and frustrating things I have ever encountered. Every single job application is an opportunity to feel like fourth grade kickball — never picked first. I woke up this morning, ate a bowl of cereal, drank some coffee and culled through emails. Then I started through my list of job seeking websites. All of the sudden, I had a feeling deep in my bones. If I don’t try, I am already rejected. I’m on a roller coaster that only goes up. Instead of feeling like I was opening myself up for rejection, I felt like I was opening myself up to new opportunities. It has been refreshing and lovely. Hoping this feeling sticks around for a little while.

These mini message treat bags would also be sweet to use for birthday party treats, wedding favors, and church or school events. I designed them to be gender neutral, too. Finished interior size is approximately 4.75 x 2.75 inches. You can download the printable treat bag templates shown in this post at the end of the tutorial. Once you have downloaded the printable file, you can select which treat bags you want to print by printing only the pages you want in your printer dialog box. If you want to print all the colors, just print the whole document on your 8.5x11 text weight paper. Once you have all your templates printed, you will want to score them. You can get away with not scoring if you fold them just right, but scoring makes it easier to fold accurately, and I recommend scoring for best results. Using your mat, ruler, and scoring tool, line up your ruler along scoring lines and score. Do this for all the folding areas on the template. Next, you will need to cut out your template along the outside border of the design. To get your mini valentine treat bags ready to glue, fold and press all scoring lines until your template looks like the one shown here. Using your glue stick or crafter’s tape, run adhesive along the the side. Press to hold it together. Do the same for the bottom of the bag, and fold up. Turn your assembled mini valentine treat bag over and fill with your favorite small candies or non- candy valentine items such as crayons. Put a dab of tape on the top flap to close. Then, choose which faux “paper tape” you want to use. There is a solid color, or a blank one you can write on. You can also accessorize your tape with glue and colored glitter, or use matching colored washi tape instead!

Lately there’s been a lot of fuss about Social Media. There are conferences dedicated to it (such as SMX Social) and different aspects of if (such as the upcoming Blog World Expo). There are blogs dedicated to it such as Pete Cashmore’s Mashable, and there are portions of forums dedicated it to it as well like on Cre8asite Forums. All of these talk about Social Media and their individual parts, however it’s rare that any of these actually talk about incorporating Social Media as part of an overall strategy for online marketing. To look as Social Media as a boost for you SEO, quite frankly, is foolish. Social Media touches so many other aspects of an online marketing strategy. It isn’t just about gaining links to raise your PR or even your ranking in the results on Google, Yahoo, Live or Ask. If that is the sole reason to use social media, you might want to start thinking about finding another “quick fix”. Soon enough, the search engines will probably take a hard look at the effect of social media and will start devaluing the power links from places like Digg have (there are some reports that this has already begun to happen). So if the search engines start devaluing the links from these big well known social media hubs like Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon, what is and SEO to do. Well if you are just and “SEO” and not an online marketer, it’s off to make sure that website is fully optimized. If you are an online marketer, you probably have already seen the value beyond SEO for Social Media. Beyond the mass amount of links that a successful social media campaign can provide there are several other areas that Social Media touches within an internet marketing strategy. PPC – When Social Media is strategically combined with PPC it can effectively reduce the cost of some campaigns. If you are advertising in the content network, utilizing social media can help you cut back on some of those costs. It’s a matter of watching your analytics closely in this case, as Social Media is not a replacement for PPC, it can certainly help to reduce some of the costs. Branding – Social Media is a great place to work with branding measures. If your company is new, and you need to get the word out in a cheap, efficient way, social media is the place to start. Talking to your audience, participating in a niche community, speaking to people who are already interesting in the type of product or service your offer all are a great way to get the conversation started. The list above demonstrates just a few ways that shows Social Media isn’t just a stand alone strategy. It needs to be worked into an full online marketing plan if you want to have the successful results you are hoping for. Understanding how every aspect interrelates is just as important with social media as it is with working PPC and SEO together. Having an experienced online marketer who understands all aspects is going to be key to your strategy, the last thing you want to do is leave this in the hands of an intern. So take the time and not only plan, but budget for social media, make it a part of the strategy all on its own, not just a part of SEO.

India should make a long term investment in ensuring that a Taliban-type of government never comes to power again in Afghanistan. THROUGHOUT THE 1980s and the 1990s, India looked at the developments in Afghanistan with a certain amount of dismay. It could not fathom the former Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979. Initially, the policy makers in New Delhi initially tried to find a political way out — gently persuading the Soviet Union to withdraw. India even offered to work with Pakistan to find a political solution. But Pakistan's Zia-ul-Haq refused to oblige. The Cold War politics practiced by the Great Powers in Afghanistan was too complex for India to intervene effectively. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, India kept a close watch on Islamabad's game plan. New Delhi's moves such as helping Burhanuddin Rabbani met with extremely limited success. Alarm bells began ringing with the Taliban's arrival on the scene in 1994. India saw a link between the developments in Jammu and Kashmir, the Taliban's creation and the way it was consolidating its position in Afghanistan. India's efforts to sensitise the great powers about this development had no success. After the capture of Kabul in September 1996, India closed down its mission there. However, as a goodwill gesture to the Afghan people and its long-standing relationship with Kabul, India maintained contacts with the Taliban and the Northern Alliance forces and continued humanitarian assistance to both factions. The hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight IC-814 to Kandahar on Christmas-eve in 1999 brought a swift change in India's policy towards the Taliban. By the spring of 2000, Pakistan's game plan of trying to divide Afghanistan on ethnic lines was known in the rest of the neighbourhood — Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and India were quick to evolve a commonality of interests. India set itself two tasks: not to allow Afghanistan's territorial integrity to be disturbed under any circumstances; and to strengthen the Northern Alliance to fight the Taliban. India then decided to make its presence felt to beef up the forces of the Northern Alliance. Strategically, making the Turkmenistan capital, Dushanbe, a staging post made a lot of sense as it is close to the Northern Alliance stronghold, Panjshir Valley. A field hospital at Farkhar, near Dushanbe, was established in early 2000. Simultaneously, the airfields in and around Dushanbe were made operational to ferry equipment to the Northern Alliance. India also began coordinating efforts with the Central Asian Republics. They agreed to be part of the broad front being proposed by India along with Iran. They readily opened their stores of Soviet vintage arms and ammunition and aircraft to the Northern Alliance. This was also the period during which Ahmed Shah Masood made unannounced visits to India, the last being in May 2001, to refine his strategy in combating the Taliban. In his assessment, the Taliban could not last a single day without Pakistan's military support; and India having fought four wars with Pakistan understood the latter's military machine better than anyone. Though not conclusively proven, circumstantial evidence shows that the Taliban-Al-Qaeda leadership assumed that eliminating Masood would automatically result in a collapse of the Northern Alliance. In spite of warnings from friendly countries such India, Masood decided to give an interview to an "Algerian" television network during which he was killed. That was on September 9, 2001. The Taliban-Al-Qaeda underestimated Masood's vision and foresight. Anticipating an eventuality of this type, he groomed three of his close associates — Mohammad Fahim, Abdullah Abdullah and Qanooni. The assassination of Masood did dampen spirits to a certain extent. The September 11, 2001, attacks by the Taliban-Al-Qaeda on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon woke the U.S. from its slumber. The triumvirate — Mr. Qanooni, Mr. Abdullah and Gen. Fahim — proved brilliant in preparing their forces to synchronise their attacks with that of the U.S. They were also aware that the U.S. was unlikely to seek their help. As late as 2001, one U.S. diplomat in Islamabad dismissed Masood as irrelevant, adding that Washington saw him as part of the problem and not as part of the solution." As the U.S. war, Operation Enduring Freedom, started on October 7, 2001, though India extended complete support to it, things did not move the way it expected. One of Afghanistan's neighbours, Iran, was more or less excluded from the alliance; and India's intelligence inputs were seen by the U.S. war-planners through the spectrum of India-Pakistan relations. The Northern Alliance was seen as an appendage of India. The first three weeks of bombing, from October 7 to 28, 2001, produced no tangible results to the U.S. on the ground. The widespread criticism of aimless U.S. bombing and high civilian casualties brought the whole operation under severe criticism. At this point, Indian and Russian intervention made the U.S. war planners see the logic of cooperating with Northern Alliance. In the crucial meeting on October 30, 2001, between the U.S. theatre commander, Gen. Tommy Franks, and the Northern Alliance, an agreement was reached on cooperation between the two. In the subsequent nine days, the Northern Alliance was able to capture Mazar-e-Sharif, and reach the outskirts of Kabul. During this Northern Alliance campaign, nine battalions of the Pakistani armed forces were either decimated or made to flee southwards to safer places. One version of the events was that Pakistani GHQ in Rawalpindi issued orders to its men to rush back to safer places. If this is true, the exodus of so-called Taliban soldiers from Mazar-e-Sharif, Kabul and other areas in early November 2001, as Northern Alliance troops marched in can be attributed to it. By this time everyone associated with the Northern Alliance including the U.S. itself realised what good fighters the Northern Alliance men were and started admiring Masood's vision in training such a formidable force. On November 13, against the protests from Pakistan, Northern Alliance troops entered Kabul. India on the success of its subtle diplomacy immediately announced the reopening of the Embassy in Kabul. On the Government that should come in Kabul after the fall of the Taliban, India and the Afghan neighbourhood (with the exception of Pakistan) had well defined objectives from the beginning — it should not have any Taliban or any of its allies/friends/sympathisers anywhere near the corridors of power. Though some of the extra regional powers and Pakistan try to make the Taliban movement synonymous with the Pashtuns, India always refused to buy this theory. In fact, the Indian debate during that period was that there were lots of groups among the Pashtuns who opposed the Taliban from the beginning. Instead of looking at Afghanistan through the spectrum of ethnicity, all the forces that opposed the Taliban-type of rule should be in the new Government; it should be as broad-based as possible. This concern remains even now. India should make a long term investment in ensuring that a Taliban-type of government never comes to power again in Afghanistan. In whichever sector the present Afghan Government seeks help, India should respond positively.

"You have a bunch of stuff and still talk about simplicity, what's with that?" Well, I have accumulated a few things in my life. I used to make a lot of money (relatively speaking). I bought the Mercedes, the toys, the stuff. I have gotten rid of a lot, and am trying to learn to get rid of the rest. I want to keep only what I need, and maybe a few wants. It is hard. I grew up with little, so when I was making decent money, I wanted to buy the stuff I never had. Over time I have come to the realisation the stuff never made me happy. I found the doing is better than the having. I have acquired many of the things I have by coincidence or luck. I am not afraid to dumpster-dive. I take my kids if I can, we make it a game. I have stopped on the side of the road to pick up something that someone else is tossing out. My wheelbarrow came from the dump, some guy was tossing it because "it's annoying", whatever that means. I have traded a lot. Craigslist is my friend when it comes to trading. Value is the governing factor with the things I possess. I was going to say own, but I don't think I own anything, I just possess it until it leaves my possession. I still have trouble letting go though, some things just have too much potential. I feel qualified to share my experiences and tips with the world because I am actually doing every one of the steps on my list. I have been unemployed for 16 months (I did work for two months in the middle there). For ten of those months I collected no unemployment benefits. I now am collecting unemployment benefits (I felt that I shouldn't do it, but someone reminded me that it was my money). I am going to school on the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, and making it work on the little money I get from these two sources. My wife is a nurse and can make good money, but we choose for her to work less so she can be home for the summer with the kids. During the rest of the year she works and we save, we have eliminated most of our bills to make this a possibility. I am now unemployed by choice because juggling school, work, and kids is too much for anyone person and my heart goes out to those that manage to do it. My wife was in that position when we met and I quickly convinced her to stop working and let me handle the money part so she could continue her schooling. I saw how hard it can be, and do not want to do that myself (she is definitely stronger than me). I like stuff, it is programmed into me from my childhood, from TV, from the outside forces of the media and U.S. culture. I am trying to de-program myself. Instead of working hard just so we can pay the credit card bills and loans for the stuff we don't need, we work what we need to, just so we can do the things that give us the one thing we truly own, memories. I've recently started reading your blog after a connection from the Bike Trailer Blog. Your situations sound very similar to mine. I applaud you for continuing education even though it may be hard financially for your family. My wife supported me and worked while I finished my degree, though we didn't have our daughter until I graduated and got my first salary job. Now my wife doesn't work so she can stay home with the little one (18 months). You also posted about getting rid of your car. This is something I did about 6 months ago. We have one car (Honda CRV) and I bike to work everyday though it's a short 10 blocks. I can say we are just now over the initial regret stage and are enjoying it. I have sacrificed a few things, but I have also gained a few things (non-material). I have a book recommendation for you since you're talking about getting rid of stuff. "Put Your Life on a Diet". This is a short read by a guy who lives by himself in a small 140 Sq. Ft. trailer. He's not saying you should live in a trailer, but he does have lots of ideas about slimming down not only yourself but everything else in your life. I was very inspired by this and have recently rid my entire house of things that haven't been used in one year (to the tune of about $400). Like you I am also a Craigslist veteran. I can't say I share your view on tools though. I feel it's less important to have a good set of tools and more important to have a neighbor who has a good set of tools (and a good relationship with such a neighbor). I've cleaned my gutters quarterly using my neighbor's 10 ft. step ladder.

Attendees visit the Vodafone Group pavilion at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, March 4, 2015. Vodafone, one of the world's biggest telecoms companies, announced better-than-expected sales Friday as its 4G plans grow. The U.K.-based company reported an acceleration in its main quarterly sales growth on Friday as a cable TV acquisition in its biggest market, Germany, where it faces strong competition from Deutsche Telecom, lifted sales and consolidated the overall return to growth for the British firm. It also returned to growth in the U.K. However, there was no mention in its statement of the one thing many investors want to hear about - a potential deal in Western Europe with John Malone's Liberty Global. The U.K., Germany and Netherlands were the markets identified by Malone as most fertile ground for a tie-up in May, but little has been heard on the deal in recent weeks. The world's second-largest mobile operator said first-quarter organic service revenue grew 0.8 percent, ahead of the 0.1 percent it recorded in the fourth quarter and better than most analysts had expected. Vittorio Colao, chief executive of the company, said in a statement: "Our emerging markets have maintained their strong momentum and more of our European businesses are returning to growth, as customer demand for 4G and data takes off," said. The group reiterated its outlook for the full year.

On Saturday, Feb. 24 at 8 p.m., the 12th annual Arab Music Ensemble (AME) will take place in the Performing Arts Center. The ensemble features an orchestra, a choir and traditional dances to braid together an enriching experience of Eastern Mediterranean music and the historically interconnected cultures of the larger region. Ethnomusicologist and Director Ken Habib has been working closely with more than 25 musicians and singers to perfect the melodic and metric modes from the genres of this part of the world. San Luis Obispo Dance Director Jenna Mitchell will lead dancers in choreography that interacts with the complexities of the music. The concert will feature guest artists Ishmael on qanun (trapezoidal zither), Fathi Aljarrah on kamanja (violin) and Faisal Zedan on riqq (tambourine), daff (frame drum) and darabuka (goblet drum). A variety of instruments such as these will be used to shape a harmonious sound that delves into the traditional music of the Eastern Mediterranean region. This will all be in quarter tone, which is a unique pitch characteristic of these genres of music. The exposure to instruments and sound that students may not be familiar with will contribute to the distinct journey through the experience of AME. “It’s out of the paradigm of Western European classical music, which is what the music departments in the United States historically have centered on, exclusively,” Habib said. Cal Poly music alumnus Brandon Webb noted the value of being exposed to a diverse variety of music outside of Western European classical music. Webb is the percussion section leader and is responsible for giving the drummers guidance and keeping a steady tempo for them. He will be playing the doumbek (goblet drum) as well the daff (frame drum). Despite the fact that some musicians involved with AME have not grown up with this specific kind of music, both those who are just learning it and those who have it weaved into their own roots can come together to collaborate in the ensemble. “The experience at AME is very divided between the people that want know more of the culture and the people that call this culture home. I know my fellow musician AJ and I have grown up with this kind of music and it’s something that we’re very attached to,” liberal arts and engineering studies senior Michelle Naziri said. Habib expressed that the AME has a following of people who have been attending the concert for years, some of whom also have this music embedded in their roots. He hopes the concert is sophisticated enough to resonate with this audience, but also transparent enough and multivalent enough to resonate with people who are hearing it for the first time. “The arts are an expression of reality in a way, just like the sciences are. We interact with our world … Human beings are intrinsically artistic. Music, for example, is, as far as we know, a part of every single society in the world and historically has always been a part of every single society in the world.” Habib said. The universality of music, along with the evidence of music as an essential part of history, demonstrates the richness of humanity, which Habib said we need to focus on by embracing our differences rather than being afraid of them. Regardless of musical literacy or experience, the AME said they hope the people who attend the concert will thoroughly enjoy it. “I hope that they enjoy the musical experience of being, in a sense, a musical person in society because everybody is musical even if you don’t sing or play an instrument, because we listen to it and appreciate it.” Habib said. Tickets are available at the Cal Poly Ticket Office with prices ranging from $12 to $14 for the public and $9 to $12 for students.

Proud modern-day Vikings, the Lofoten Islanders make millions from cod and their cows give so much milk they have to wear bras. Mythical creatures must surely inhabit the forests and river glens in this delightful part of Norway. Melbourne-born Percy Grainger held a lifelong enchantment with composer Edvard Grieg's music and the interest was reciprocated. It's hard to choose just six in this country full of spectacular sites. Trondelag, and its capital Trondheim, wedged into the heart of the country, is Norway's quietly achieving region. It has the air of a place gazing outwards - to adventure, danger, excitement and mystery - a springboard to the polar darkness. Norway, land of 1000 waterfalls and possibly the world's most successful society, has a secret. It's called friluftsliv.

In game 2 of the Tovar Tussle at RHS The Rams jumped on the Eagles quickly and emphatically with a 3-spot in the top of the 1st inning. The Eagles would counter with a single run and for the first few innings Friday night both teams were in a punch counter-punch game. When the tally reached 5-5 the Eagles were able to fly away from the Rams ending the game in the 6th inning 16-6.

I made a pizza with cauliflower crust last night. I didn’t die. But I wouldn’t want it to be my new normal.

"Why am I fat?" A question I receive daily. You would think the question would be, "How can I be permanently thin?" But that's not the case. The majority of the time it's about "am I too fat" as opposed to seeking a real and practical solution to the overweight problem. There is no mystery why people are fat. The average American consumes 20% more calories than 20 years ago. The average American will consume approximately 100 calories more per day than they will burn. An energy gap equaling a yearly weight gain of 10.4 pounds. Reasons and causes of obesity are numerous. Learned behavior, biological, environmental are only a few factors that influence obesity. In my experience, three factors are constant with overweight people -- sedentary lifestyle, chronic dieting and poor eating habits. Don't ask, "Why am I fat?" Ask, "How can I lose weight and keep it off?" Symptoms of obesity are easily identifiable. For instance, if you don't eat breakfast, you are four times more likely to be overweight than those who do. If you eat at fast food restaurants at least once per day, double your likelihood of an overweight problem. A Harvard University study revealed young people ate 110 to 165 more calories than they burned daily, for ten years, resulting in an average 58 pound weight gain! Approximately 25% of the vegetables consumed by the average American consists of potato chips and french fries. "How can I reach my ideal body weight and maintain it for life?" My answer is simple. Reduce portions and increase your level of physical activity. Once you reach your ideal weight, when weight loss is no longer an issue, begin to improve the nutritional value of your diet. Repeat daily until you establish automatic subconscious habits. See Sequence of Weight Loss Success for more. I always get the feeling when someone asks "Why am I fat?", it's because the person is embarrassed. By pretending to not know the causes of obesity, they can not be expected to correct the problem. A simple absolution of responsibility. There is nothing wrong with you! You don't need to feel embarrassed or ashamed of your weight. This is the biggest obstacle to success you must overcome... You! How you feel about yourself. You have not broken any laws. You are not a criminal. If you are a social outcast or living in isolation it's because you choose to do so. Once you understand weight loss is completely in your control, that weight loss is certain because it's guaranteed by your choices, actions, behaviors and attitude -- once you have this epiphany, weight loss is no longer hard, difficult or a mystery. There is no difference between overweight people and naturally thin people. Both want the best for their kids. Both want good jobs and a happy and safe home. The only difference is how the overweight view themselves. This poor self-image is at the very root of the helpless feeling and confusion the overweight have about losing weight. Combine poor self-image caused by a society obsessed with "size 4 syndrome" with a history of chronic dieting that causes progressive weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle and you have a prescription for life long cascading weight gain and obesity. All of this is so avoidable it breaks my heart. First, you must repair your damaged self-image. Like yourself. Respect yourself. So you've gained weight. You're fat. Big deal. Join the 66% of the entire American population that suffers the same condition. Obesity is the norm in America! So don't allow society to label you an "out of control outcast." Don't buy into the weight loss is a great achievement misconception. Weight loss will be as easy as you make it. As sure as your commitment to it. And I'm telling you the 100% truth when I say you have every resource within you necessary to lose weight and live life free of all weight issues. Why am I fat? Am I too fat? Self-depreciating questions that do not warrant time for consideration. There is no fat quiz or symptoms of obesity that can cause or validate your condition. Losing weight is entirely your responsibility. And that's exactly why your success is certain. The only thing preventing you from living a naturally thin life is you. Overcome that obstacle and you're weight loss success is assured. I recommend reviewing 110 Quick Weight Loss Tips and Portion Perversion sections of this web site. If what you read makes sense then read my book, Barb's Foolproof Weight Loss Solution. There's nothing wrong with you! You're special -- act like it! 20 FACTS ON OBESITY Tip #17--"Why am I fat?" People are fat for a myriad of reasons. However, the question is only relevant if it's asked to discover a problem that you intend to correct. Many ask, "Why am I fat?" But what they really want to know is, "What's wrong with me." And the answer is liberating. Nothing is wrong with you!

In a city full of historic hotels, it can be hard to be the new property on the block. But when The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue debuted in 2013, it found its footing quickly around the Big Apple, distinguishing itself with modern, glamorous décor; an impressive contemporary art collection; crave-worthy Mediterranean fare at Ai Fiori from popular chef Michael White; and touches that Langham is known for, like the sweet ginger flower scent drifting through the building and the pink flowers adorning the lobby. The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel eventually became the U.S. flagship for the brand, whose origins go back to 1865 with the opening of the opulent London outpost. As The Langham, New York celebrates its fifth anniversary, we checked in with managing director Richard Bussiere, who shared how luxury has evolved over the years and where to find the best view in the Midtown hotel. How has the hotel changed since opening five years ago? In the five years since this hotel became The Langham, we have made some exciting cosmetic changes to the hotel in the form of new guest rooms, actually increasing our room count by 20 through some clever reconfigurations, and adding in two well-designed Penthouses and a Presidential Suite. We also completely revamped and expanded our event space, The Gallery at The Langham, to allow us to better host more signature events. And we installed a multimillion-dollar art collection by the famed New York painter Alex Katz — the largest private collection of his work outside of a museum that we know of in New York City. But the most impactful change has been that, in transitioning an existing hotel to be a Langham, we have come to embody all of the best elements of the Langham brand, which has instilled a greater sense of pride in our employees, many of which have been here since the building first opened, and have made us better every day in the service we provide our guests. How have the guests changed? When Langham took over this hotel, there was a lack of recognition among travelers in the U.S. about the Langham brand, and there was a perception that Midtown was not an ideal location for a luxury hotel. Over the last five years, awareness of the Langham brand name has grown, not only domestically but internationally, and Midtown has become a hot spot for hotel development, taking away the perception that this location isn’t ready for a luxury hotel. Both of those factors have allowed our guest loyalty to grow stronger, so we have seen an increase in repeat guests as well as more guests coming from the cities in which our sister hotels are located. What does luxury hospitality mean to you? Twenty-five years ago, “luxury” had a very limited definition. It spoke to customers of a certain age, who drove a specific type of car, lived at a certain address, held a certain position in life. There were certain expectations of a luxury hotel that were understood and well-defined, by both the guests and the industry at large. Luxury consumers in 2018 are less defined. They can be from any walk of life, any age, any nationality. And, more often than not, they tell us what luxury is to them rather than us predicting what it will be on their behalf. For those reasons, it is important to stay nimble, be innovative and to personalize the service you offer in the luxury market, because it changes based on the desires of each guest you serve. What do you think makes The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue special? I truly believe our best asset is our colleagues. Being well-versed in the art of hospitality is not something that everyone can attain. We have managed to find and hold onto some of the very best in the industry that have this skill. They stay with us because we continually celebrate their success at the hotel level but also company-wide. Some of the stories I could tell you about how our colleagues have gone above and beyond for our guests would give you goosebumps. But even on the most basic level, there is not one member of our team who doesn’t live our values here at The Langham. And we empower them to make our guests happy. No gesture is too big or too small if it will help that guest create a great memory of their time at our hotel. What are your favorite parts of the hotel? I love our event space, The Gallery at The Langham. It has wonderful natural light and it’s where we house most of our art collection by Alex Katz. It has been the setting for some of our most memorable moments at the hotel as well, since it is where I have the most opportunities to interact with our guests at special events and celebrations. I also like the view from the southern side of the building — our Empire State Views. Not only do they afford a spectacular view of the Empire State Building but, on a clear day, you can see all the way down Fifth Avenue to One World Trade Center, which is an inspiring sight. What is next for the hotel? We are currently investigating whether we have the space in the hotel to build a Club Lounge, which is something that Langham Hotels around the world are known for, and which would be a wonderful addition for our guests. We are also continuing to strengthen our hotel as being one of the most sustainable in New York City. We currently hold Silver Status from EarthCheck, the independent benchmarking agency employed by Langham Hospitality Group, and we are going for Gold. We have committed to decreasing the overall output of waste from the hotel. For example, we invested in a state-of-the-art Orca machine that turns food waste into environmentally safe water, and which allows us to break down 700 pounds of food per day. On average this investment has allowed us to keep 4,000 pounds of organic waste from going to landfill. Langham is opening a hotel in Dubai in 2020. What else is going on for the brand? Langham is expanding in very exciting ways over the next few years. In addition to Dubai, Langham has hotels planned for Tokyo, San Francisco and Jakarta, among other locations. I started in this industry out of college in 1980. In 1986, I moved to Asia as an expatriate, first in China and then in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. I came back to the U.S. in 2013 to work as the managing director of The Langham, Boston — my first time working in the U.S. in nearly 30 years. This then lead to my current position, as managing director at Langham, overseeing both The Langham, Boston and The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue, which is really the pinnacle of a career spent doing what I love. To have the opportunity to lead a luxury hotel in the middle of Fifth Avenue to greater and greater success is an achievement that makes me feel proud and excited to come to work every single day.

Human trafficking is definitely an important issue and still exists today even in the United States! We should be doing more to combat human trafficking, especially since human traffickers usually prey on those who are young and underprivileged. Handling human rights abuses in war-torn countries is a major issue.

Last September of 2009, I got the itch to take a course or two at a local University. I checked on-line and found that Brown University had some very interesting courses in the evenings. I was so afraid that I would fail or need to drop out because of my mental illness that I almost did not scratch that itch that I had to go back. Last fall I chose two courses in my field of interest. Both were in the Neuroscience Department. The first course was entitled "Learning and Memory." The course covered the neurological pathways that we use from infancy through adulthood in order to remember what we have learned and how to access it. The best part for me was doing a dissection of the human brain! The second course that I took was entitled "Mental Illness and the Brain." The course covered all the mental illnesses that people live with, where in the brain the site of the disease is located, what medications are used and the method of operation of these medications. This was by far one of the most fascinating courses I have ever taken. Since I am bipolar, that part of the course was very informative, but so were all the other aspects of studying the etiology of other mental illnesses and the hope for new medications. Having been successful in the fall of last year, I decided to take two more courses this spring. The first course I chose is entitled "Infant and Child Mental Health." This is a course that is totally foreign to me, but a subject I have always wanted to learn. So far things are going well. The second course I chose was another interest of mine, and was entitled "Social Media and Online Technologies." When I realized that Brown was on Twitter, I was amazed and intrigued especially since we had just set up a Facebook page for Hillsgrove House and we hope to be on the World Wide Web soon. I am learning how integral these types of communication have become to socialization amongst people, and particularly how it is benefiting the mentally ill. People can now communicate any time of the day, especially if they just need a friend to converse with late at night. I look forward to exploring the theories of this course as it progresses. I cannot express how much taking these courses has done for my self-esteem. I feel like I come alive when I'm in class. What a sense of accomplishment I feel when I can think through my medications and my mental illness. The most important thing is that if I had to drop out, or if I failed a course, that I am not a failure. Rock on!

The Socialist Party of Ireland was formed in 1949 and was affiliated to the Socialist Party of Great Britain. The name was in use until 1959, when the World Socialist Party was established, although the party does not appear to have been active throughout that period. The Socialist Party of Ireland was initially established by the Belfast Socialist Group, which had been set up that year, in collaboration with some Dublin socialists.

Pelion is a peninsula of Greece that is situated in the center of Greece. It is very beautiful and famous. This is blessed with natural beauty and the credit to its beauty goes to the beautiful combination of mountains and sea on the peninsula. All things that are in Pelion look so beautiful. The mountains are filled with lots of greenery with numerous high trees. The beaches are also amazing with crystal clear blue waters. There is a myth popular about this peninsula. It is that this peninsula was once the home of the famous creatures called as centaurs. These are some mythical creatures that were believed to have body half of human being and half of a horse. The most famous name among the centaurs is of chilon. He was the teacher of the famous achilies who was a great hero of Greece as well as Jason and Heracles. The villages of Pelion are really very beautiful as well as traditional. These are built with grey stones that are found in plenty here. The bridges are also built with grey stone and look very nice. There are many churches in Pelion. Some are of Byzantine time and some of them are post Byzantine times. These have their own contribution in the beauty of this place. The best time for holidays in Pelion can be any time in the whole year. This place is full of activities both in summer as well as winters.

Gail Reid: When Rhoda Janzen is injured in a car accident shortly after her husband of 15 years dumps her for a man, she postpones her sabbatical and returns to the comfort of her parents' California home. Her parents are leaders of the Mennonite church so the worldly Rhoda's return to her Mennonite roots is a distinctly different kind of memoir. This story evokes themes from Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" as well as a humorous response to everything reminiscent of David Sedaris and Nora Ephron. What's uniquely different is the Mennonite angle. Few of us have insight into the beliefs and everyday life of this fascinating religious group. I don't like to bash a book that many people will, in fact, enjoy. After all, it has been on the bestseller's list for several months. However, the humor is much too caustic for me and sometimes crosses the line to mean spirited. The author is very impressed with her academic credentials and she does have an admirable vocabulary; but, I picked it up the first time that she was a smart cookie. Enough!

Seven years ago, I was in Syria and I had a vision. It was like a dream, but I wasn’t sleeping. I saw myself in a war. People were fighting in all kinds of ways, and babies were crying. But in the dream, I was safe. When I woke up, I wondered if I was crazy! I didn’t believe those in my dream who said that Jesus is the real way and we should believe him. I didn’t know what to believe. Before I had this vision, I had asked God to show me the real truth. It was then I had this dream. After that, I believed in Him, and I know that this way is the truth. – Let’s take a moment to remember that there are people from different faiths and background seeking the truth. Pray that they will see visions and dreams. Pray that the Lord will send them believers to help them be established in the word and to grow in the knowledge of Christ.

New England is a geographical region which comprises six states of the northeastern United States: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. It is bordered by the state of New York to the west and the south, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and north, respectively. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast, and Long Island Sound is to the south. The puritan pilgrims from England first settled in the region in 1620, forming the Plymouth Colony, the first successful English settlement in the Americas. Ten years later, more Puritans settled north of Plymouth Colony in the greater Boston area, thus forming the Massachusetts Bay Colony. You can take a virtual tour of the Mayflower ship, the first ship of the pilgrim in the video below. We take you inside the ship to show you how the early English immigrants lived, worked, slept, cooked and ate for months on a torturous and oftentimes dangerous ship journey. Over the next 126 years, people in the region fought in four French and Indian Wars, until the British and their Iroquois allies defeated the French and their Algonquin allies in North America. In 1692, the town of Salem, Massachusetts and the surrounding areas experienced one of the most infamous cases of mass hysteria in the history of the Western Hemisphere, the Salem witch trials. In the late 18th century, political leaders from the New England Colonies known as the Sons of Liberty initiated the resistance to Britain’s efforts to impose new taxes without the consent of the colonists. The Boston Tea Party was a protest to which Britain responded with a series of punitive laws stripping Massachusetts of self-government. These were termed the “Intolerable Acts” by the colonists. The confrontation led to the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, and the expulsion of the British authorities from the region in the spring of 1776. The region played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States and was the first region of the U.S. transformed by the Industrial Revolution, centered on the Blackstone and Merrimack river valleys. The physical geography of New England is diverse for such a small area. Southeastern New England is covered by a narrow coastal plain, while the western and northern regions are dominated by the rolling hills and worn-down peaks of the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains. With the Atlantic fall line lying so close to the coast, numerous industrial cities were able to take advantage of water power along the numerous rivers, such as the Connecticut River, which bisects the region from north to south. The region is particularly known for its beautiful fall foliage. Take a look at the beautiful New England scenery in the video below. Each state is principally subdivided into small incorporated municipalities, which are known as towns. These are often governed by town meetings. The only unincorporated areas in the region exist in the sparsely populated northern regions of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. It maintains a strong sense of cultural identity, although the terms of this identity are often contrasted, combining Puritanism with liberalism, agrarian life with industry, and isolation with immigration.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Fighting in the Shiite stronghold of Sadr City killed 23 Iraqis yesterday, hospital officials said, and the U.S. military reported five troop deaths, as April showed signs of becoming the worst month for U.S. forces in Iraq since September. At least 11 of the Iraqi deaths occurred when mortar shells landed in residential neighborhoods. Men rushed wounded children to overcrowded emergency rooms in Sadr City hospitals, on foot because of a ban on all vehicular traffic. In some parts of Sadr City, masked militiamen bearing machine guns and grenade launchers remained on the streets. Officials at local hospitals have put the death toll in the neighborhood at more than 70 since Sunday, but it was not clear if those figures included militia fighters. Thousands of Sadr City residents have fled for other neighborhoods. Prices in local markets were soaring as supplies dwindled, a result of suppliers' inability to bring in goods. Iraqi and U.S. forces appeared to be penetrating deeper into the neighborhood, one local journalist said. There were no signs that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was pulling back on his offensive against Shiite militias, which has sparked fighting between Iraqi and U.S. forces and militiamen loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Al-Maliki's deadline for fighters to hand in heavy weapons expired Tuesday, but the latest clashes showed that rocket-propelled grenades, mortars, and rockets remained in militia hands. Baghdad had spent part of yesterday quieter than in recent days, because of a curfew imposed to prevent clashes and protests marking the anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein on April 9, 2003. Al-Sadr had called for a huge march in Baghdad to mark the anniversary of Hussein's ouster and to protest the U.S. presence and al-Maliki's offensive. The cleric says the offensive, which began March 25 in the southern city of Basra, is targeting his Mahdi Army and is a ploy to cripple his political movement in advance of provincial elections planned for October. His fighters have risen up against Iraqi and U.S. forces, virtually collapsing a cease-fire that al-Sadr announced last August and that was credited with bringing a sharp drop in violence nationwide. Although U.S. and Iraqi officials maintain that they are targeting criminal elements or "special groups" that did not abide by al-Sadr's truce, U.S. Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker acknowledged yesterday that the Basra offensive had drawn in others. "A dangerous development in the immediate wake of the Basra operation was what appeared to be a reunification between special groups and JAM," he told lawmakers in Washington, using the acronym for al-Sadr's militia. Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, gave lawmakers their assessments of the war during two days of hearings in Washington that ended yesterday. The surge in troop deaths since the Basra offensive has underscored their contention that security gains witnessed in recent months easily could be reversed. At least 30 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the Basra operation began, most in Baghdad; at least 19 have died in Iraq so far this month, representing the highest daily average since last September. The deaths announced yesterday brought to at least 4,031 the number of U.S. troops to die in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. Brief military statements said three of the soldiers died in roadside bomb blasts: two in northeastern Baghdad and one east of the city. Two others died of "non-combat" injuries, statements said, giving no other details.

He hopes you’ll buy his latest CD and tickets to his show Jan.15 at Anthology. But at the same time, bluesman Otis Taylor saysthat if he’s honest with himself, he’d have to admit he probablydoesn’t care as much about the money end of things as heshould. “I just don’t care if I sell records ---- I must not care,because I do the things the way I do,” Taylor said recently byphone. He explained that he views each album as a chance to explorea new concept ---- and thus keeps moving into new territory, ratherthan finding something that sells well and then turning out thesame style of record over and over. “When I first started, I didn’t care; now, I can say I carebecause I’m making a little money. I care about money; I just don’tcareenoughabout money. One thing he’s not doing the same is touring with daughterCassie Taylor, his longtime bassist and co-vocalist. When asked if this surprised him, Taylor said his daughter hadmet someone and was tired of being away all the time. So for thistour, he’s bringing a different bass player and a drummer as well,"which is unusual,” he said. He’s still touring in support of “Pentatonic Wars and LoveSongs,” released last June on Telarc. That album’s core concept waslove, while the album before that, “Reclaiming the Banjo,” wasabout exploring the black roots of the banjo. His next album, set for release this June, is already finished.Taylor said he produces his own albums and then delivers a finishedproduct to Telarc. Taylor said that he likes the playing on his recordings to soundfresh, so he will only go to two takes on a song ---- and only totwo takes because the other musicians playing with him may beplaying one of his songs for the first time on take No. 1. But ifthey don’t get it right the second time? “Three takes makes me nervous, and I don’t get to four takes---- there’s no emotion left. Although Telarc Records, his home since 2003’s “Truth Is NotFiction,” has been bought by the Concord Group, Taylor said thechanges haven’t filtered down to the musicians. “They don’t send anyone out there to watch you. Some things aredone differently; a little more corporate, but not artistically.... There’s just more paperwork for everything. While he admitted that his brand of “trance blues” is farremoved from the mainstream, Taylor said it is possible to beinfluential without being famous. “I figure it’s better to have a niche than just be part of thepack. I have a lot of young filmmakers wanting to use my music.There’s a whole younger set that’s hearing about me, which iscool. “Who’s more important in the world, Miles Davis or Mick Jagger?A hundred years from now, it will be Miles. Who’s sold morerecords? The Rolling Stones. But who’s hipper? Miles Davis. “That’s a legacy I’d like to leave ---- but we’ll see.

Recently I had the pleasure of remixing a tune by a couple of my favorite artists, Pitch Black. They massively inspired me to become an electronic musician, and have since helped me in various aspects of my career from music production to how to handle yourself in a strange new country. They are both fantastic blokes who have kept NZ on the true live electronica map for over 10 years, and they are still powering strong. As well as release the tune, I have recorded the entire production process from start to finish, and am releasing 6 hours of high definition video footage to show people exactly how I did everything. The first two hours are available now to everyone. I will be releasing one hour per week to the public until it is finished.

Let me start by saying that this was NOT a good week for me. We returned from Denver on Tuesday, and I was exhausted for the rest of the week. I walked once. And for only 3 miles. Yes. Just 3 measly miles. I've got a lot of ground to cover over the next two weeks, and I'm off to a good start with 5.25 miles logged today.

I don’t know about you, but I love tacos! They are a great go-to recipe for busy/lazy days. But, I’ve been getting tired of using my taco seasoning mix. I think I may have overused it or something but it just doesn’t taste good anymore! I was going through my recipes the other day and found one from my Grandma for her tacos. She is an amazing cook and does her cooking from scratch. Why I didn’t think to use the recipe before, I don’t know. Especially because of how easy it is! And it uses things that most of us already have on hand. Cook ground beef with seasonings, taco sauce, and ketchup until browned. Heat oil in separate pan over medium-high heat. When heated, drop one tortilla in the oil and cook for 10 seconds (or so) on each side. Lay flat on paper towels to cool down until okay to touch. Add ground beef and other toppings. Enjoy!

As a parent, you have the most significant role in shaping your children. You have the opportunity to help your child excel in academics, but also in life. Empowering children goes beyond nagging them to do homework or offering rewards for good grades. Those things are often necessary, but empowerment takes more. Empowering your children means using words and encouragement to help them develop self confidence, a sense of identity and a safe environment to explore their interests and even fail. Empowering children takes work, so how will you feel empowered to empower your children? Take a look at your child’s long term goals. Sit down and develop these goals together. Look beyond getting an A in biology this semester and talk about what career goals they have and what kind of person they want to become. When both you and your child have a long term vision, you will know the most helpful ways to empower your child. As you see them accomplish their goals, you will see how your role has been beneficial for them. Keep track of your child’s accomplishments. This includes grades and exam scores, but also includes social accomplishments, caring for their community, investing in an outside interest, and acts of kindness that display integrity and character. No child gets it right all of the time, so when you are feeling frustrated by a particular behavior you can remember all of their accomplishments and see the growth and development they are experiencing. Teenage years are tender years and need to be navigated with extreme care. You are constantly figuring out how to communicate with your teenager and discovering what freedoms and boundaries they need. You are resolving conflicts and at times making necessary demands. This can be exhausting. Take time to engage in some activities you enjoy. Get plenty of exercise and sleep to help relieve stress. The better you feel about yourself, the more you will be able to empower your student. Ultimately, make sure you are communicating with your child. You will know what problems they are facing and you will be able to empower them to solve those problems. Children that feel empowered, loved, safe and cared for will find ways to be successful in life.

The World Poker Tour announced on Wednesday that it has inked a partnership with partypoker LIVE to host as many as seven events in Europe and Canada for the next four years.

The rest of the schedule will be revealed at a later date, but the World Poker Tour has said that locations will include Sochi, Russia and the Dusk Till Dawn poker club in the UK.

LIVE Dollars are pretty cool – they can be used for pretty much anything having to do with the partypoker LIVE stops, including buy-ins, hotel rooms, and travel.

#BeautifulPainMovie (#Redha), is the first Malaysian film to tackle about the subject on autism. In her feature directing debut, Tunku Mona Riza delivers a quiet, compassionate look at the condition which afflicts 1 in 160 children, according to the World Health Organization. Upon learning that their only son Danial, has autism, his mother, Alina and father, Razlan's world suddenly crumbles. Razlan was devastated by his son's condition and his inability to accept the truth about their son being different with the rest of the children, causes friction within the family, but Alina’s perseverance and maternal instinct help wade through the difficult times in raising Danial. With hardly any knowledge about this condition, they struggle to confront the harsh realities and the challenges of raising an autistic child. With Sasha, her sister and close friend by her side, they may have found a way to improve Danial’s quality of life until a tragic accident causes the family to re-think its strategy. Beautiful Pain was chosen by the National Film Development Corporation of Malaysia (Finas) as the official Malaysian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards but unfortunately it was not nominated. Some of the major scenes in Redha were shot on location at the beautiful beach in Terengganu’s Redang Island. It is also worthwhile to mention that the parents of Danial in the movie namely Alina and Razlan, played by June Lojong and Namron, are husband and wife in real life.

Now how do you suppose a chewing gum company would try to sell more chewing gum? If you think it’s by touting the scientific evidence that chewing gum helps prevent gum disease, you would be wrong. If you think it’s testimonials from dentists singing gum’s praises, you would be wrong. If you think it’s gorgeous girls talking about sweetening one’s breath before a kiss, you would be wrong. Wrigley knows nothing sells gum like emotion. So, how are you selling your product — your station?

I have posted a letter of intent similar to this in the past... doing so in this various places for years, but wanted to renew the sentiments for the coming season. I write today you to tell you of my RENEWED intentions for this year so as to spare you any confusion or frustration when next you encounter me. It is my intention to remain 'in character' as much as possible during my travels for this present year. "Our organization will educate via a series of first person activities designed to demonstrate the real lives of sailors as they go about their business and live their lives." There is no doubt in my mind that this could be difficult for me, but also for those around me; and I do not wish to alienate any of my friends or compatriots. Things will not be much different, I imagine, than they have been in the past... you've all met the Doctor during YOUR travels, and know the agreeable sort of fellow he can be. I am generally already 'in character' for all the visitors and guests I work with at various events, if done correctly, I believe it can be a powerful learning tool for the public. In addition, I'd like to request that you all help me to do this by not trying to 'snap me out of it' by mentioning a bunch of modern stuff to me whilst at an event. I believe that enough of you have my email address and are friends with me on various forums, message boards and social networking sites... that any out of character conversation can safely take place there at any time. I tell you now that if you attempt to talk to the Doctor about movies, internet, cellphones and the like, he will be terribly confused. There is a time and a place for talk of that sort, and for me, it's NOT while I'm dressed out at an event. I daresay I will go one step further and challenge YOU once again to give your interpretation and character some thought. It's no fun if I don't have a few of you to play along! Special thanks to everyone that has encouraged me (verbally & otherwise) to do this in the past, I look forward to the additional research that I need to do over the fall and winter to get me where I need to be... and the Doctor looks forward to meeting you in the year to come. This has the potential to be a really fantastic learning experience!

I took this photo weeks ago. I was in my third round of color edits. Finally, I initialed each sheet for the printers with a big OK and off they went. ​That is part of the process I did not understand at all. My computer puts out color in RGB. A printer prints in CMYK. I can import the color palette from the printer I can calibrate my screen but guess what. It is all still a guess. You have no idea what things will look like until they are actually on paper. ​Talk about a ridiculously inaccurate process that just adds to the mysteries of book publishing. How do professional photographers deal with this. My printer kept reminding me that this is technical manual and that it didn't need to be perfect. ​I guess they have never met me. Now don't get me wrong. This book is not perfect. Yet, on Oct 24th I pushed the button and the files were out of my hands. ​Hands that are still empty at the moment but can't wait to get them on the real thing and see what the photos really look like, the weight of the book in my hands. Today it is all still an idea, but soon it will be reality.

Do you want to know how to start a PT business? If so then there’s a few things you need to take into consideration. Obviously the first step you will need to move forward is gaining your certificate 3 and 4 in personal training, but it’s what happens both before and after you finish your certification that is most important. Most RTOs simply don’t teach you how to set up a personal training business. They teach you about movement, nutrition, muscle groups and how to train clients, but business systems, marketing, sales and even people skills is seriously lacking in their training of PTs entering into the business world. It’s not too dissimilar to a conveyor belt, churning out personal trainers with no real knowledge on how they are going to succeed once they are out in the market place. In actual fact, if you are looking at how to set up a pt business for success, the planning stages should actually start well before you have finished your qualifications. At least a month out you want to be prepared and ready to hit the ground running so when you do finish, you are ready to go. Some of the things you need to look at before even finishing your qualifications should be setting up things such as your business name and company registration, your business logo and what type of training model you are planning to implement into your business. Once you have these things set up, you can then move onto the next stage which would be to set up your online presence. Even if you plan on working out of a gym to start with, you should always be looking at branding yourself and your business, rather than relying on a gym. If you want to know how to set up a PT studio once you leave a gym, the best advice would be to build your brand first so you have an asset you can rebrand into a PT studio. One of the biggest mistakes a PT can make when learning how to set up a PT business is not branding themselves and their business from day 1. So setting up your social media sites such as a Facebook page, an Instagram account, Youtube channel and website are all essential in branding yourself online and giving people a chance to find and follow you. The next thing you will need to consider is how to set up PT business systems. The vast majority of PTs when they start training clients, start out by using and tracking their clients with software such as an excel spreadsheet and Google calendars. In regards to invoicing and accounting, this is usually done through Microsoft Word. This is an extremely messy and unprofessional way to approach your business and one that will waste you a lot of time as you continue your business. My advice would be to look into a client management software from the beginning. There are many out in the market place such as Client Connect and PT Minder to name just a few. This helps you track all of your clients in the one place, do all your invoicing and tax, scheduling your classes, track the progress of your clients such as their measurements and results etc. which can all be graphed and shared with your clients so they can see the results and improvements they are making. This also adds a higher level of professionalism to you as a personal trainer as you will be able to offer a better service. Finally, the real thing you will need to learn if you want to set up a personal training business for success is to get business education. This means mentoring from someone who has been there and knows how to set up pt business systems. This includes crucial things such as marketing, sales, retention and referrals. Without the knowledge of how to get people through the door, then how to hold onto them and increase the value per client, your business is going to struggle and will ultimately fail. When PTs enter the market place, most of the time they are unaware how competitive the industry is. Get your business systems in order before day 1 and start understanding how to generate leads. If you need assistance on gaining this education, then there is no better starting place than PT Business Coaches. The Inner Circle Membership offered by PT business coaches is a 12 month program which teaches you everything you need to know about how to set up a personal training business, how to set up PT business systems as well as the key skills of marketing, sales, social media and business growth. To get access to the PT business coaches program for only $7 please CLICK HERE to find out more.

We’ve already started the conversation about security— now, let’s focus on loss prevention for businesses. Part of a good risk management strategy is to reduce threats from both outside and inside the organization. This is where video surveillance comes in. Since their launch in June of 2013, the UCM series has become one of the most popular on-premise IP PBXs in the world. It offers small to medium sized businesses an almost unprecedented unified communications manager (hence the UCM acronym) that gives them access to enterprise-grade voice, video, data and mobility features in an easy-to-setup, easy-to-manage fashion with no licensing or recurring fees. Back in 2002 when Grandstream was founded, we were one of the first companies in the world to manufacture SIP products – and one of the very first products we made were analog telephone adapters (ATAs). We now have over 15 years of expertise building SIP devices, and we have more experience building VoIP gateways and ATAs than almost any one in the world. Thanks to close relationships with service providers and partners, all of our ATAs and Gateways are not only thoroughly tested within Grandstream, but they are stringently tested with the help from some of the largest service providers in the world. Our devices provide a variety of high-end features and functionalities that allow analog phones not only to be integrated with VoIP networks, but provide VoIP functions for analog devices as well. Let’s take a look at some of the features and functionalities of Grandstream’s gateways and ATAs that you may have missed. TCP versus UDP for IP Phones: How do you choose? The internet is like a very crowded Los Angeles highway, but instead of being full of cars, it’s full of information. Due to crowding, this information needs guidance to ensure that it gets where it’s going. This is why transmission protocols exist to make sure the information gets transported as intended.

[AUTO](RC):[Counter Blast (1) & Put this unit into your soul] During your opponent's end phase, when an opponent's locked card is unlocked, if you have a «Link Joker» vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, lock that unit. ...personally, this card is just annoying to go against regardless of whom the Link Joker's final ace is. The fact that Palladium here is made to keep that disruption factor that the Lock effect really has on the opponent by keeping it locked and either severely weakening attacks or even preventing them from ever happening to begin with at the cost of himself. Now, it would be bad if it was just retired and you'd never see it again, but I personally see this as beneficiary as possible by it going into the Soul as Chaos Breaker Dragon will have more Soul food to eat when you want to start killing things and begin drawing more cards and just plus sing in general. There are two major drawbacks to Palladium however. One is that you have to be able to actually Lock something to begin with, and if you are unsuccessful at Break Riding with Infinite-Zero Dragon, then it'll cost you even more Counterblast to even get the Lock to begin with let alone retaining it. The other drawback is that you end up losing Palladium by it going into the Soul and losing a 7,000 power supporter, but seeing how he's able to potentially stop a single attack from even happening singlehandedly is just phenomenal and worth the loss especially if you can reinforce it when the spot is open anyway. Palladium is made to be more of a defensive card with offensive stats, so while others sleep on this card *looks down*, I personally am keeping an eye out against this card. Next Time: While it's not from Set 13, it's still a Grade 1/7,000 Power that I believe that this card deserves a lot of acknowledgement! 4th card of the week is Link Joker's newest troll card, Palladium. When a unit unlocks during the End Phase, you Counterblast 1 and move him from RG to the soul to lock it again. Hooray, finally I can talk about this card in more detail than the others. Firstly, this card is pretty neat in Chaos Breaker Dragon decks. His uses are fairly extensive, with the most obvious being he fuels the soul for Chaos Breaker's Limit Break. He can also shut down a front row and thus a whole column for another turn without Chaos needing to commit anything else from the hand. Especially if you have a better booster and need to sack it away nice and neatly. He's also good for when you are stuck riding Chaos on turn 3 and you're reduced to playing the stall game until you can Chaos Retire away their units. However, if your actual gambit of Chaos Breaker over Infinite Zero works, Palladium's pretty redundant, unless you absolutely need one of their columns re-locked for any reason, since locking generally isn't as good as retiring in terms of long-term benefits. The fact he now has Colony Maker to search him helps too. I'd run him, if only because to give Chaos more shots at retiring and also because Link Joker has plenty of 7k boosters to play with.

← How do you get into that popular course? Megan Duffy had a thoughtful post on not inducing anxiety in others. She mentioned the specific case of reducing anxiety in others by being really clear. Instead of saying something like meet me Thursday, say why. I agree that getting asked to meet a professor or a boss is a scary thing, so the detail she suggested is great. For the moment, not anxious? But today I’m thinking more about my own anxiety, and yours. Anxiety is so often a problem, we may lose sight of its positive side. So I think we should embrace our anxiety, for it is a big part of what makes us empathetic humans. I think anxiety is fundamentally a social feeling. We feel anxious if we think we will let someone else down. We could also feel anxious anticipating the reactions of unreasonable people. Miscommunication is also a rich field for anxiety. What exactly is anxiety? What comes up on Google for anxiety is “a feeling of nervousness or unease…typically about an uncertain event or outcome.” Obviously life throws all kinds of events and circumstances at us about which we are uncertain and worry. I guess worry has to be the first cousin of anxiety. Together and in a helpful way, they can help us do what we should do, pay forward the debt to our future self, so she is as happy and fulfilled as she can be. So the best thing to reduce anxiety is simply to do what needs to be done, so you won’t have anything to be anxious about. If you are worried about being late, be on time. If you are anxious about a test, study more. Oh, if only it were so simple. Sometimes you cannot do what you must do. Conflicting demands on your time can make you anxious. If I let anxiety run my life entirely, I would never do anything new or creative, just follow the demands others put on my time. Sometimes anxiety gets higher and higher because not doing something makes you anxious, yet you somehow keep failing to do it. In this case, listen to your anxiety. What is it trying to tell you? Do you actually not want to do the thing you think you want to do? Or is it something else? Try to figure it out. A healthy level of anxiety we all need. Sometimes it will build up to nearly unbearable levels, simply to tell you you don’t really want that career, that project, that relationship. In some ways, this is a very simplistic post because it is not addressing how crippling anxiety can become. But the basic message is not simple. It is that anxiety is a part of being human, so fundamental that no anxiety would be as troubling as too much anxiety. And our anxiety is telling us something. Listen and try to figure out what it is.

Yet another sunny day here in Brussels and I really wanted to take advantage of this Sunday afternoon and take a feel trip to Hollande; well, actually a small city right across the border from Belgium. It’s nice from time to time to change the usual place that you visit and just try something new. Of course that I went to KFC as well, Belgium not having one unfortunately. Anyway, back to the fashionable part of the day, I wanted to share with you guys the dress I wore this afternoon. I believe that all these dresses from Udobuy have a mix of glamour and elegance, but at the same time they make you look so chic ^^. What do you think? The great surprise was that this dress is inspired by one of Katy Perry’s. you like today’s look. Can’t wait to read all your wonderful comments. omg. just wow. you are so stunning.

Architect Elisabetta Rizzato was born and raised just outside of Venice, Italy. After 31 years, it might seem safe to assume she’d bore of the sights, spots and surroudings of this great, tourist-rich locale, but rather, the opposite is true. Elisabetta continually discovers amazing new places and hidden gems which she shares on her blog ITALIANBARK, along with plenty of posts on interior design, and her work as an architect. Start your day with the best coffee in Venice. Located close to the railway station, Torrefazione Cannaregio is a must. Opened in 1930, this is the oldest coffee shop in town and offers many different kinds of coffees, toasted in-house with a big, old coffee machine. I recommend the Remer blend, a coffee you can only drink here as it’s a secret recipe! Take a morning walk in Sestiere Cannaregio and visit the workshop of a marionette maker called L’isola di Pinocchio. It may be hidden behind an ordinary door, in an ancient mezzanine, but here you will step into a magical place, surrounded by handmade marionettes by an amazing artisan. Libreria Acqua Alta bookshop, in Sestiere Castello, is one of the most original bookshops in the world. Selling vintage and new books, this place is literally filled with books everywhere, displayed in boats, gondolas, bathtubs, etc. It’s also located between two of my favorite corners of Venice: one is Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, situated in front of the stunning Scuola Grande di San Marco (which has since become the city hospital). The other corner is Campo San Lorenzo. In this spot, you will see one of the three bent bell-towers of the city. The one of San Giorgio dei Greci church is almost as crooked as the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa! But, I digress. After grabbing a book, find a bench and enjoy it. Before lunchtime, head to Rialto. Cross the world-famous bridge and enjoy some fresh fruit and fish in the ancient market of the town, Mercato di Rialto. Despite being a very famous one, it is still a genuine Venetian market where you will find locals buying fresh fish. It has also recently been listed as one of the 10 best markets in the world by The Guardian. If you are wondering where the vegetables and fruit come from, they’re from an island near Venice called “l’orto di Venezia,” Sant’Erasmo, almost entirely covered with fields! Enjoy sunshine at Le Zattere after an “ombra” (glass of wine) and some “cicchetti” (Venetian fingerfood), then head south for a proper lunch to Sestiere Dorsoduro. Here, you will find many bars and small “bacari” (typical Venice “osterie”) to enjoy something fast. I recommend a deviation to the Bacareto da Lele, a really small corner with amazing small paninis and good wine! It was my favorite bacaro during my university years and is still very popular in town by locals. Alternatively, enjoy lunch at Fondamenta delle zattere, at the southern edge of the city. Facing Giudecca Channel, it is the best place to enjoy the sun and take a long walk afterwards. Its name comes from the zattere, a la the historic rafts that were docked here to store the city’s timber. It is also the best place to enjoy an ice cream, maybe at Gelateria da Nico , loved by Penny Guggenheim and Angelina Jolie, and famous for its Gianduiotto. It’s also the best starting point for an afternoon stroll among the best shops! Even if it’s crowded with tourists, Accademia area in Sestiere Dorsoduro has always been one of my favorites. It is really filled with culture and art and has recently become a real art-walk, thanks to the Venice Museum Mile project. Here, you can choose between contemporary art at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Punta della Dogana, historical paintings at Gallerie dell’Accademia, and many other museums and historical palaces…all within a one-mile radius! Don’t forget to visit Biennale and its collateral events between May and November! Here, we are in the best area for some good shopping in Venice. Near Accademia, you will find some of the most original design shops in town, such as the incredible Fiorella Gallery (if you are lucky enough to find it open, as it doesn’t abide by regular hours). Within a few steps you will also find Venetia Studium, a historical shop selling wonderful fabrics, as well as the amazing — and often imitated — Fortuny Lamps. It’s very expensive, I know, but if you are a design-lover you can’t not love them! Next, head to Mercerie area, a trio of streets between Piazza San Marco and Rialto, for the most famous brands. This is the “shopping district” of Venice! For aperitivo (appetizers) and dinner, head far from the tourist traps to Fondamenta della Misericordia, in a northern direction back to Sestiere Cannaregio. Here you will enjoy a gorgeous sunset. It is also one of the city areas where locals can relax, unwind and enjoy dinnertime. Walk across the Judish Ghetto — one of the most fascinating places in Venice — and enjoy an aperitivo in one of the bars you will find along the Fondamenta, such as Vino Vero, a brand new spot where you can sip your wine outside around a briccole (wooden poles in the water transformed into small tables)! In this area, there are also many good, affordable restaurants there are not too crowded. Here in fondamenta della Misericordia, you will find Paradiso Perduto, a typical Venetian restaurant founded by four students with a very spartan mood and fresh food. Five minutes from here, towards Strada Nuova, Osteria alla Vedova is another good spot. With its lovely, retro interior and its delicious polpettas, you will not be disappointed! If you are still not tired after this day in Venice, you can head to another area of the city where university students hang out (I sure did as a student)! The spot is called Campo Santa Margherita, and it’s crowded with osterie and bars. On your way there, don’t forget to deviate towards another magical corner in Venice, Squero San Trovaso, where you will see the officina, one of the last gondola craftmakers left in town. While this is just an overview (and maybe this day could last 48 hours, actually!), there’s plenty more great reasons to spend time in Venice… Just think, we haven’t even gotten to Piazza San Marco! what a great guide to Venice! Bookmarking for my next visit. Thanks – perfect timing! We are landing in Venice this June, after a Seabourn cruise through the Adriatic. Any suggestions for the best area to shop for antiques? Wonderful suggestions :) I know Venice really well and I love (and know) about half the places you’ve mentioned – really off the beaten path and some stunning quiet corners – so now I’ve some new ones to add next time. I would love to eat my way around Italy. Saving towards this dream trip! The historic texture of the city is truly fascinating. I would like to go with certainty in the summer holiday.

Air Miles Canada says it won’t reimburse collectors who spent their points in anticipation of an expiration policy that will no longer take effect at the end of the year. The company that runs the Air Miles loyalty points program, LoyaltyOne, announced Thursday it was cancelling plans that would have seen collectors lose miles older than five years. While some celebrated the news, others — who had scrambled to redeem their miles ahead of the expiry — were angered by the about face. Air Miles Canada’s Twitter account told two customers the company would not be reimbursing collectors who spent their points to avoid having them expire. The account sent tweets saying the company would not accept returns, cancellations or exchanges due to the cancellation of the expiry policy, once booked.

There are 365 days in the year and 52 Sundays. That leaves 313 days left in the year. What will you do with them? Being a follower of Jesus is not a once a week thing… or perhaps twice a week if you’re super religious. God is not up there taking church attendance in Heaven as a basis for salvation or love or approval. He is looking at your heart. God is doing wonders in the earth today – miracles and healings of every kind… I am blessed to be a small part of what He is doing. But it doesn’t come by religion, it comes by relationship with the Living God. It comes by intimacy with Jesus. 30″And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 32And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. I pray that things written here will give you a hunger for more and will stir up an unquenchable passion for Jesus in your heart.

Recently, we went to breakfast with some friends of ours and their 2 1/2 year old son. While the adults were talking, the young toddler wanted to speak to his mother. Almost simultaneously, both parents gave their child a non-verbal sign. They crossed their pointer fingers and middle fingers and showed the sign to their child… almost immediately, he stopped. He waited patiently for three or four minutes until the discussion was completed. At that point, the parents asked him what he wanted to say and he shared his idea while everyone listened. As I’m watching this, I’m thinking…IF ONLY!!! My TBP has always struggled with patience, but having to wait to share his thoughts, remains one of the biggest challenges. It seems to be worse when we are driving in the car. His continued perception is that we don’t allow him any time to talk. It doesn’t seem possible to us (or our ears), but we try to check ourselves to make sure that we are actively listening in between our discussions. Outside of the car, we have the same issue. I might be watching a show or working, and my TBP doesn’t understand why I don’t want to stop immediately to see the latest village he has made in Mine Craft. Don’t get me wrong…I adore him. Anyone that knows me, knows that he is the center of my world but… this constant need for attention and not wanting to wait is exhausting. Just today, I was putting laundry away upstairs and I heard him scream for me. I dropped the laundry, ran downstairs, and shouted his name to see what had occured. I was out of breath when I said, “Are you okay. What’s wrong?!” He said quietly, “Nothing…I just needed you.” While this sounds sweet (and I’m glad that he wants me near him) it is the interrupting and need for immediate attention that is frustrating. We have noticed that the interrupting increases at certain times. When he is tired or hungry, he doesn’t seem to have the ability to control his impulsiveness. If school has been especially challenging or there is an activity coming up that he is anxious about, we have to be prepared for a bit more frequent check ins. Understanding and preparing for this, has been a preventive measure that we didn’t understand in years past. We also make a deliberate effort to spend 15-20 minutes a day giving him 100% of our attention (no cell phones, texting, or multi-tasking) in addition to the bedtime routine and reading. This usually is enough, but on tough days, more time might be needed. Actually on really rough days, no amount of attention seems to be enough! I’m sure many of you understand oh so well what I’m talking about here! Interrupting is annoying to me and to others (especially those without children). The ability to wait and not interrupt, seems to be one of the most important pillars of good manners. Because of this, we continue to work on it and compliment him when he is able to wait. If you are the parent of a TBP, you know that we do not accept these controlling and manipulative behaviors sitting down. It’s just sometimes, we NEED to sit down for that moment. And then before too long, we get back up and try it again!

Would you love to work with us but you live outside of Southern California? Thanks to the magic of the Internet, we can now offer our fabulous dog training programs to anyone, no matter your location! How? Skype of course! Our Skype dog training programs will function very similarly to our more traditional private dog training programs—you'll get one-on-one, customized training sessions with one of our acclaimed trainers via Skype. All of the high-quality, thoughtful, scientifically-proven methods and love for your dog that you will find in our private programs, just in digital form. We have been developing this concept for a while, and we have found that doing programs via Skype has some pretty great advantages! Because there is no commute, we can get super flexible with scheduling! Now, no matter where you live you can take advantage of Tully’s Training techniques, tools, and most importantly, results! What used to be available to a select few, is now available to all. Whether you are in San Francisco, New York, or in the middle of nowhere - we can work with you. You can reap the benefits of professional, experienced, and knowledgeable trainers who have a proven track record of giving dog owners amazing results. Now your pup won’t even know we are there! This allows us to see how your dog is naturally behaving. Many times our clients tell us, “He is so good when you're here!” In dog training sessions via Skype, we get to see how your dog behaves as if nobody new is in the environment. Because we don’t have to drive to your home, we can price these programs less than our traditional programs. Now, we aren’t cheap—we'll tell you that upfront. We are a premium dog training service. We give you customized training programs, one-on-one attention, and a ton of other perks that we can discuss during your free consultation. Very similarly to any program with us, first we need some information from you. Fill out your information and make sure to specify that you are interested in Online Skype Training. Do Skype Dog Training Sessions actually work? Absolutely! Part of our free consultation is to determine the program that works best for you and your dog so that you see the best results in the shortest amount of time possible. Because we are essentially training the people, not the dog, Skype sessions allow us to see the problems you are having and work you through them. When necessary we can use our own dogs to show you how to work through troublesome behavior. Why wouldn’t I use a dog trainer where I live? You can do that! However, you found us and that’s because we are very good at what we do. We’ve been featured on Nat Geo Wild, Inspire Health Magazine, Autostraddle.com, and San Diego News 6. We've worked with hundreds of different species, at some of the top zoos and aquariums in the world. We have been mentored by some of the best animal trainers the industry has to offer. This isn’t a hobby or side job for us, like many dog trainers. This is our career. This is something we have studied, practiced, and dedicated our lives to. You can see that in the two cities we work in we have an average Yelp rating of 4.9 stars! The trainers who helped achieve this rating are the same trainers you will be working with. We only use humane, positive reinforcement training techniques that get results. This is an opportunity to work with Los Angeles based all-star trainers without leaving your home. Can I use Facetime or another digital platform instead? Of course! In fact, sometimes we will ask our clients to Facetime problems that may be occurring out of site of the computer or outside of the house. This way we can “be there” and observe everything you are seeing and give you the tools necessary to combat these behavioral problems. I am still skeptical about skype sessions. How do I know this will work? We understand why you would be skeptical about digital dog training. This is obviously very different than the traditional dog owner-dog trainer relationship. While we can never guarantee training will work, (it all depends on your commitment and application of the tools we give you), we do have a track record that speaks for itself. If you are still skeptical, give us a chance! Sign-up for our free, no obligation, Skype consultation to see if we are a right fit for you. We will go over all your dog training goals, answer all of your questions, and prepare a customized program for you and your canine friend! At the end of the consultation if you are still not impressed, then there is no obligation! If you excited to get started, (and we are confident you will be), we can start the training right there on the spot!

To pay a Bitcoin invoice, you will need a working Bitcoin wallet and some bitcoins to make the purchase. See the instructions for setting up a Bitcoin wallet on Electrum, as well as our guide on buying bitcoins with your Credit or Debit Card. There are four ways to get the invoice Bitcoin address into your wallet: (1) manually select and copy the Bitcoin address from the CoinGate invoice to your wallet; (2) click the copy button, and paste the invoice Bitcoin address in your wallet; (3) click Pay with Bitcoin on the invoice, which will open up Electrum with the correct invoice Bitcoin address and payment value already inserted in the required fields; (4) scan the QR code with your mobile Bitcoin wallet or with Electrum. In Electrum and other wallets, you can also include a Description, which will later remind you what you paid for. If you are making a small purchase, the transaction will be confirmed immediately. Meanwhile, if the transaction is bigger, you may have to wait for it to be confirmed by the Bitcoin network. See the screenshots below. Seeing either of the two windows below means that you do not need to do anything else – your Bitcoin invoice is paid! Great job – the merchant is notified and will soon process your order. If you want to pay the Bitcoin invoice value using two or more different wallets or different Transaction IDs, rest assured – this is possible, and please see the part on underpaid orders in the following section. Three things, really. One, you may accidentally (or purposefully) pay too little. Two, your Bitcoin invoice might expire before or after you make a transaction. Three, you can pay too much. Let us go over all of these scenarios, and what you should do if you are facing any problems. Most likely, this is the case if you make a transaction, yet the Bitcoin invoice does not switch into confirming/paid state. In the updated invoice (see below on the left) you will see the amount of bitcoins that you sent, as well as the amount that is still left to pay (in the blue box). You should make another transaction to cover the underpaid amount before the invoice expires. On the other hand, if the invoice expires, you will be displayed a refund form (see the next section on what to do with an expired invoice). Nevertheless, you should not worry, because your bitcoins will reach us at some time. What you should do is monitor the CoinGate invoice status every once in a while, because the invoice form will update immediately when the transaction is broadcast to the Bitcoin network. (2) The invoice will remain expired, but you will see your Transaction ID on the Bitcoin invoice. This means that your seller may still accept your late payment, so hold on for a little while, and contact your seller if you have not already. That is it! These are all of the scenarios that you may face when paying our invoice with Bitcoins. We recommend sticking to Electrum to minimize the risk of expired invoices and underpayments. Refer to our guide here for setting up Electrum. And if you need to buy some bitcoins quickly, use our credit card option for purchases between USD 50 – 5,000 (click here to read our step by step guide on paying with credit / debit cards). We hope that reading this guide has helped you understand how to pay for a CoinGate invoice with Bitcoin. If it was your first time making a transaction and you found it difficult and tiring – we assure you that the second time will be much much easier. The post How to Pay for a Bitcoin Invoice? Step-By-Step Guide appeared first on CoinGate Blog.
