Maybe he’s run over a black cat or something because he’s the bar a couple of times in recent weeks and ‘keepers have pulled off worldy saves. I asked him to be disciplined, sit in front of the back four and he’s ended up being in the box, taking on two and scoring. I’ll have to have a go at him for that!
I thought he was excellent, I thought all the boys were. It was a young team and, under the circumstances, with the bug that’s been going round, the team changed about 15 times within the last 48 hours for various reasons. Joe was always gonna start because of his performances in training. He did well on loan at Cheltenham last season and we wanted to keep him at it. I thought he showed that tonight. To keep going like he did at the end - technically no doubt, but obviously the fitness levels, bearing in mind he hasn’t played much shows his professionalism and he wasn’t the only one. Webby was fantastic as well. It was a good game. Dare I say it, we were comfortable against a Premier League side.
Yeah, it’s good. Again, the good thing is, we’ve got people going. That’s why I’m proud of their performance. There’s four or five in bed, ill. Even two or three of the subs were never going to the come on. It was a mad 24/48 hour bug that everyone had. It was really bad actually. Baker was starting today but pulls out his morning, Pack was in bed, they’ve all had it. So we’ve done well actually. I had to change the shape, which was a pain, to be honest. We had to protect the player that needed protecting.
Were you going to rest Pack?
No, I was gonna start Marlon. It shows we’ve got really good depth. Marley Watkins was gonna play as well but we need to get going. It was gonna be Eliasson or Watkins.
How close were you to getting your boots on?
Pretty close, but McAllister thinks he’s better than me, so McAllister probably would’ve been given the nod ahead of me!
First and foremost, a home draw. If I’m being greedy, a top six Premier League team. Because of the amazing events last season and the fact we beat four Premier League teams and having the Man City game in the semi-final. So, do to that in the FA Cup that’d be great. If you could give me a choice, I’d say Tottenham or Liverpool at home.
The cup run affected your league form last year - is your squad deeper now?
Yeah, I think it is. We had ten operations last year and eight of those players ended up being out for 12 weeks plus. Surely that couldn’t happen again. The depth of our squad this year is stronger and we’ve talked about getting that little bit of sparkle that we’ve got to try and recreate from within or improve on in January. As a general rule, there’s a man for every position. When you look at the back four, Lloyd Kelly, Kalas, Baker, Pisano are all not playing, that’s your starting point. Strong at that area and then everywhere else comes into it’s own.
Do you think you need to capitalise on your good league position?
I think there’s a lot of Championship clubs in that top 14/15 think they can have a go at it. Perhaps it’s Catch 22. What is having a go at it? Perhaps having a go at it is keeping your best players and keeping team spirit and building around it. If someone becomes affordable and available we might think, “let’s go for it.” What I will say, if I have the players that I’ve got, with the form they’re in, I’ll be happy.
Is it a big or small shopping list?
It’s very small. One or two players max. If we bring in one, two have got to go out and if we bring in two, two or three have got to go so we get the right balance. It won’t be huge demands. If we do bring someone in, then they need to be match fit and keep the lads here buzzing and on there toes. There’s a big set of league games now, but we need to enjoy the cup.
So, it’s the sparkle you want?
We talked about that previously. The play was good but the sparkle wasn’t there. How do you improve on that? Well, we get the players going and we’ve done that. Fam, Paterson, O’Dowda all in form. Sometimes it’s about man management, fitness, cohesion. With a new team, it takes time to bed in with each other. It was good today and even the likes of Jay Dasilva coming in, his games have been sporadic but he’s been excellent.
Who was the player starting that had the bug?
It was Webby. I think he lost four kilos, that’s half a stone in weight. So he’s done really well to do the 90. It was almost pre-meditated to do Webby one half and Kalas the other half, but Webster had it earlier so he had more recovery time. He’s been in the wars, with the stiches earlier this week. His girlfriend really loves him though, she’s looked after him.
Any bids for any players?
There’s no bids on the table as far as I know. I can genuinely say my focus has been on this game. I left a lot of that for other people to deal with. I personally think there has to be interest in our players because they’re young and performing well. Whether anything comes to fruition in terms of a bid, I don’t know. We don’t need to sell. If we did sell it’ll be because we want to and improve other areas.
Who on the bench had the bug?
Lloyd Kelly wasn’t in the squad until Baker went down a couple of hours before. We couldn’t bring anyone else up because all our loanees had played in the FA Cup and were cup tied. Sam Pearson came up and then Baker went down and it was a case of who do you call up? The next one was like a 16-year-old! We said, “Lloydy, get in earlier today and we’ll see what we can do.” There was no handshakes today, it was all elbows! | 2019-04-18T11:25:12Z | https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/it-elbows-full-lee-johnson-2394423 |

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has developed a host of smart applications and tools to facilitate real estate dealings, aiming to become one of the smartest property registration systems in the world. Its efforts are certainly paying off. The World Bank Group’s Doing Business 2016 — Measuring Regulatory Quality & Efficiency report ranks the UAE 31st out of 189 countries for doing business overall, and the government’s aggressive adoption of smart applications has been key in its high ranking. The UAE was second in issuing construction permits, four in electricity application and 10th in registering property. According to the report, it takes only 1.5 days on average to register a property in Dubai.
“The DLD has a comprehensive vision that aims to transform Dubai to a top global real estate destination,” said Sultan Butti Bin Mejren, Director General of the DLD, in addressing delegates at the recent International Property Registration Association’s Smart Registration for a Smart City conference, which the DLD coorganised in Dubai.
Speaking on the sidelines of the conference, Bin Mejren confirmed Dubai currently has some 717 real estate projects, with Dh67 billion worth of property and land transactions recorded from January to February.
“We’ll probably be registering Dh100 million worth of transactions, or 100 properties daily, in 2016, which would mean we could reach something like Dh300 billion by the end of the year,” says Bin Mejren. “It was Dh260 billion last year.” Smart applications will be crucial in achieving the DLD’s targets.
“It takes 20 minutes to register a property today, thanks to smart applications,” says Bin Mejren.
One of the main applications developed by the DLD is Mashrooi (My Project), a handy smartphone app that tracks the progress and even provides images of a project. “You can see all the projects in Dubai, the master and subdevelopers, trust [escrow] accounts and progress reports on your phone,” explains Bin Mejren.
Other apps developed by DLD are mTrakheesi for broker registration, and the Status Tracking and Enquiries application, which tracks the construction progress of projects and finds approved brokers and developers.
The DLD has also developed the Investment Map, which Bin Mejren says would take over as the primary application for real estate transactions from eMart. “EMart is mainly for auctions now, while the Investment Map is for listings.” The DLD launched a prototype of the application a few years ago, improving it along the way.
“We are working hard to expand [the reach of] Dubai’s real estate [market] across continents, and we will soon be launching the second phase of the Investment Map, which is characterised by intelligence and transparency, and supported by features such as purchasing and selling, which are not available in any of the other sites,” Duaa Dablan, Senior Deputy Director of the Real Estate Investment Management and Promotion Centre, told delegates at the property registration conference.
Using the Google platform, the interactive map shows handy details such as a 3D view of the property, its size and location as well as nearby landmarks.
The DLD also revealed that it is in discussion with local property portals to tackle issues such as duplicate listings.
All sellers and buyers using the map would have to register. “It makes it more secure,” says Al Akraf. “We know who is searching for what. It also helps us gather data.” He describes two ways of selling: direct and private. In a direct sale the owner registers the property with the DLD, which will ask for the relevant documents. Once approved the viewings can start.
“When [a property] has been registered in the system, a buyer can just buy it off the map, as it will be an electronic money transaction. We will then send the title deed to [the buyer],” says Al Akraf.
In a private sale, the seller does not want to show the property in public. The DLD will still require all relevant information from the seller before issuing a special code that will be used by prospective buyers to access information about the property.
While it is pushing for new smart applications, the DLD has also launched the first Real Estate Services Trustees Centre (Al Taboo Centre) in Al Twar in February, offering all DLD services. The centre is open six days a week, 12 hours a day. Four more centres are under development, including one in Al Barsha. | 2019-04-25T20:23:55Z | https://www.armsmcgregor.com/latest-news/property-weekly-trends-dubai-land-departments-smart-move/ |

Your free Print@home tickets will be included on your final invoice.
Print@home tickets can only be used by your stand staff.
Print@home tickets that you ordered but did not use will not appear on your invoice.
For data protection purposes, each person who sets up an order can only order one ticket (i.e. their own personal Print@home ticket).
It is no longer possible to order tickets for other people or give your consent for specific people, including your colleagues, to use tickets you have ordered.

This is pretty interesting and amusing on a couple of levels.
The Imperial name was first used in the mid-1920s. It was Chrysler's top of the line model. Throughout it's life the Imperial featured Chrysler's latest and greatest in technology. In 1934 Chrysler used it to introduce the Airflow design, which, while a sales failure in its day, is considered to be one of the most advanced cars of its time.
In 1955 Chrysler made Imperial a separate brand, designed to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln. Imperials were titled as Imperials, not Chryslers. They blundered, in my opinion, by not setting up separate Imperial showrooms. Imperials were sold in Chrysler showrooms, side by side with more mundane Chrysler models.
This is a "Mobile Director" Coupe. The "Mobile Director" option had a front passenger seat that turned fully rearward. There was a table and light in the backseat area. The idea was that an executive - while being driven to work - could turn around and do work or sit behind the driver and give dictation to a secretary.
The Mobile Director option is rare. It was only offered on the coupe, as the B-pillar would have been in the way of the swiveling seat on a 4 door. That was part of the sales problem. In the 1960s, executives who were driven to work wanted to be seen in a huge 4 door limo, not a huge 2 door coupe.
It's interesting and amusing to look at this car. First of all, there's the safety factor. How many execs would use the lap belt while the seat was turned around? (Shoulder belts weren't mandatory in cars in 1967.) I suspect very few. Not to mention that by sitting "backwards" you'd be unable to see an accident about to happen and have any time to brace yourself. Even if you did, what would you grab? The table? The light? The secretary?
But, on the interesting side, this car represents a time when US manufacturers actually tried to make their cars unique. Did Lincoln and Cadillac have a coupe with a swiveling seat, a table and a light? Nope. If you found this idea appealing and/or necessary you had to buy an Imperial. It was unique to the Imperial.
The Mobile Director option was hoaky as hell. In reality is was pretty useless. Still, the fact that Chrysler offered it showed a level of competitive thinking that has been lost by US car manufacturers today.
This car is located in Daytona Beach, FL. It needs restoration. Click here to see the Craigslist listing. It should be noted that a few websites have mentioned that there are a few "bootleg" Mobile Director coupes out there. If having a real one means a lot to you, it would be worthwhile to find paperwork on the one you're considering.
The "Imperial Web Pages" has some more info and some great pictures. You can find it here.
While I really like Imperials, I generally draw the line around the 1966 model year. The 1967's, like the cited Mobile Meth Lab model, appear to me like badge engineered Chryslers.
It's kind of a dismal fate really. The earlier Exner and Engel designs were classic. The Italian tailored Ghia limousines were far more exclusive than their Cadillac counterparts. The Ghia's for me are still the ultimate "Underworld Bad Guy" car of choice. Imperial even chose to use self contained headlights that were mounted on the bumper, up until 1963. This must have cost some bucks.
I always considered the pre 1967 models as being wayyyy underpriced. It seemed nobody ever wanted them. Listings often stated, "...perfect as a demo derby car." That black 1964 Crown Coupe from Canada has been on and off ebay for well over a year. I just looked it up. It's still there and it's gorgeous.
Then we have this 1967 unibody with the Mobile Ouija Board Option.
If it wasn't for the cool swivel seat, it would rank right up there with the 1974-76 Fleetwood Talisman. | 2019-04-23T10:27:07Z | https://www.justacargeek.com/2010/04/1967-chrysler-imperial-mobile-director.html |

Our smile establishes an instant, subliminal, visual impact on people we come across. A brighter smile creates the impression of vitality, youth, warmth, happiness and radiant health. In fact, we can only be said to have a healthy smile, when we present a bright smile. As we age, the hair on our head turns gray or white while our teeth begin to turn yellow. Some of us in County Durham may even prefer to give anything to have the process work in reverse.
Teeth whitening in County Durham involves the process of bleaching the teeth to make them lighter in shade. Dental hygiene habits, dietary preferences, age, and time are major players in our teeth discoloration. For instance, the brightness of our teeth can be greatly impacted by excessive consumption of beverages like red wine and coffee. In some cases, the shine on our teeth can be dimmed due to long-term use of some medication.
Although our dentists in County Durham are the people in the best position to advise us, however, tooth discoloration is the main reason why we need teeth whitening. Bleaching will help to mask a range of discoloration including root canal problems, decay, and abscessed teeth. | 2019-04-23T16:24:09Z | https://www.uk-teethwhitening.co.uk/teeth-whitening-costs/county-durham/ |

Note: I was going to do a review on the X-Men trilogy tonight, but I changed my mind after watching Blue Valentine last night. Seriously, I've been chomping at the bit to do this review all day.
When I was young, I was always under the impression that I'd grow up, get a really good job, fall in love, get married and have children. It was that simple. Those thoughts were often surrounded by beautiful colours, fountains of hearts and any other form of happiness. But as time has gone by, that dream is slowly becoming dimmer. I don't know whether it comes from the fact that I've realised just how much cynicism there is in the work, or the fact that my parents don't live together anymore...or maybe it's just that I watch too many movies about marriages. I think most of those movies do sugarcoat married life a bit, though. However, watching Blue Valentine completely made my dream the darkest it has ever been. Yes, the film was a little too close to home, which made it all the more depressing, but seriously? I never want to fall in love now, for the fear of falling out of love when it's really just too late.
The tagline for Blue Valentine was simply "A Love Story". To a degree, that is true. Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) were once in love, which led them to get married and have a gorgeous daughter, Frankie (Faith Wladyka). Their love story would have been good on it's own, and would have made for a just about perfect chick flick of some sort. However, woven into their happy love story is a weekend in the distant future which visits Dean and Cindy, now just your average married couple, struggling to stay together. Dean hasn't changed much, but Cindy appears to be worn out - which is probably the result of Dean's slight immaturity and trying to juggle work and being a mother at the same time. So really, this film is about what happens after all of the romance and fireworks.
If this film was in chronological order, then it probably wouldn't have hit as hard. Having the two time periods cutting into each other is just like watching positivity fight negativity, with the latter always ending up on top. That's not to say that this movie is always depressing. There are some genuinely sweet moments, like the tap-dancing/ukelele scene between Dean and Cindy in their early days. Even during the later days, it's kinda funny seeing the pair in that slightly strange 'futuristic' hotel room, trying to reignite their relationship. There's a slight goofiness in what Derek Cianfrance is trying to achieve - it may not be fully realised, but you can see this coy attempt at a cheesy rom-com subtly coming through. But you've really got to hand it to Cianfrance, because when most people make a movie that they want to hit the audience really hard with, they decide to make it the most depressing experience ever. With it's slight sense of humour, it's a lot easier to believe Blue Valentine and it becomes more realistic. Sometimes directors just want you to feel really miserable, but Cianfrance wants you to feel for these miserable people.
The cross-cutting technique is used to full effect, making this ingeniously depressing. That may be a strange claim to make, but trust me...if the final sequence had been left without it, I probably wouldn't have bawled my eyes out for the rest of the night. The way Cianfrance mixes the scenes, so they each contradict each other, is pure genius. As I said, this film is like watching what happens after all of the romance and fireworks. You just get a better idea of the 'before' and 'after', which definitely does make it all the more depressing. Ingeniously depressing, to put it correctly...you can quote me in the future.
Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams are also ingeniously depressing. They simply are Dean and Cindy. Is it possible to get better young actors than these two? How Gosling got ignored by the Academy for his performance here is beyond me. He's the picture of masculinity which meets naivety and immaturity. He's a romantic who was unfortunately very easy to get tired of. Gosling just gave it everything he had, and this confirms for me that he might just be one of the best young actors working today. Michelle Williams, who was recognised by the Academy for her work, is every inch a winner with her performance. She plays a damaged character so well, and even manages to get a bit of sympathy even though her character is probably the evil force driving her relationship apart. Together, you forget that they are acting. They are so great together that you feel every twang of pain when an insult is hurled, every throb of happiness which comes with a compliment, and you feel like your world has fallen apart at the end, thanks to Gosling and Williams.
Yes, Blue Valentine is extremely hard to watch. But I feel as if a movie hasn't fully rewarded me if I don't feel completely involved with the characters, to the point that I am probably in tears at the end. Let's just say, this movie was definitely rewarding. The credits were made with colourful fireworks, which pretty much summed up my happiness with this movie. I'm happy for the way it turned out, and I'm happy about how much I liked it. I don't want to overrate it, but this is definitely the best movie I have seen this year, so far.
THE VERDICT: Derek Cianfrance has created a movie which is raw and realistic, moving and depressing. The performance from Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams are simply perfect, adding more fuel to the fire.
It made my Top 5 for 2010. I now own the DVD too! Such a powerful film, and those performances are top notch. I was really disappointed when Gosling missed out on an Oscar nom.
I was thinking that you were going to give it the 'Nice Ascot' rating there, and then I would have serious words.
You have made me want to watch the film again so badly now, but Jesus, I don't think I can put myself through that pain again, man. But it will be interesting to see how it holds up again, what with me having been so emotionally invested in the film for months after. And to an extent, I still am.
I intend to get the DVD A.S.A.P! I was so disappointed to have missed it at the theatres, but I was outraged Gosling didn't get a nomination on the behalf of those who wanted him to!
I was under the same impression as you growing up - I'd get a great job, marry and have kids (says a lot for the role of women, we just assume we'll be mothers!), and sometimes I still like to pretend that life will be just fine and dandy - but with films like this, and life in general, its getting harder and harder to ignore the reality.
I agree with every single thing you wrote - the movie is beyond amazing and Gosling and Williams are just so, so good. And I was also surprised that he was not nominated. I'm sure he could replace like... Eisenberg or Bridges. I mean no disregard for their performances, but honestly... Eisenberg, fine, but Bridges has been up there a thousand times, gosh... and I didn't think that his performance in True Grit was *that* special in comparison to Gosling's. But, you know, he wasn't nominated for Lars either - though 2007 was quite the year - so I'm not surprised. Plus, it's the Academy Awards, if you know what I mean.
Watching it tonight. So excited. Will probably review it, too.
Andy - It's officially made my unofficial reconstructed Top 5 of 2010 now, too :D And I'm so jealous of you having the DVD! I'm hoping some kind person will get it for me for my birthday, haha. I don't even know how Gosling didn't get nominated. The Oscars were pretty off the mark this year.
Cherokee - I had to give it the I Was Perfect rating. Bloody hell, I felt so compelled to write a review on it I was willing to stay up until the wee hours of the morning just to do it, but I had school the next day. So instead I spent the whole day wanting to write the review, which made me think that it should get the top rating. I've never felt so compelled to write a review in my life.
Gosh, the end was so sad. I kept wanting to use that as an example for the great intercutting, but I couldn't in fear of spoiling. I cried so much that my cat was pretty worried about me. And I got really sad over the dog too!
I've never been in any relationship, but it did hit home for me thanks to my parents. Such a happy experience, this movie was.
And thank you! I feel my reviews are getting quite personal and I find myself connecting films to my life a lot more...is that bad?
Ruth - I was like you - outraged at Gosling not being nominated, without even seeing the movie! Seriously, he should have been nominated, end of story.
Maria Sofia - I'm glad you agree with me! Eisenberg deserved his nomination, and so did Jeff Bridges. But to be honest, Bridges always turns in a good performance, and he doesn't need to be rewarded for that every single time. Mind you, I would have rathered Bridges win this year instead of last. Gosling should have got in though, because he was beyond brilliant!
Tyler - I hope you like it, and I look forward to your review!
It has been nearly 7 months since I have seen it, so I think I am ready now...sorta, probably not, but I want to watch it again!
I have been in the kind of 'watching depressive stuff' mood as-of-late, (probably down to having this horrible on-going cold for like a week now) so I think that Blue Valentine will pop up in my selection of films to watch.
Teenaged relationships aren't worth the agro, trust me.
It's not bad at all man! (Unless that was supposed to be a rhetorical question and I wasn't supposed to answer). Art is all about connecting with your own life - getting deep here.
Cherokee - Thanks! Do you have a link to your review? I'd love to see what you had to say about it!
I think you're ready. So see it again! I'm sure it will hold up. It probably just won't hit you as hard emotionally.
Aw no, I hope you get better soon! I know what you mean though. All I want to watch these days are bloody movies that make me cry. In drama we are doing The Diary of Anne Frank, and we watched the 1959 version of the movie, and after that me and the teacher suddenly started talking about Schindler's List. The next day, I bring the DVD in because I think it will be a great idea to watch it in our class (I think everyone should watch that movie). Today we were watching the bit showing the liquidation of the ghetto, and our whole class is crying. That is easily the best thing that has happened to me all week.
Castor - Definitely gut wrenching! And yes, the Gosling snub is beyond me!
Gosling and Williams work so perfect together which had me really believe that they could have this tragic and at times, perfect love. Good Review!
Love the review. I have nothing to add.
Only, if I'm not mistaken it was my #4 from last year.
Dan - I know, right? I kept forgetting that they were only acting! Thanks!
Lesya - Thanks! I think this might be my number 3...it beats Scott Pilgrim, just.
One of my favorites of last year. I told people every young person should see it. Hoepfully they don't all have the reaction to avoid love forever, but I think it's a good dose of the other side of love and marriage that never gets shown on the big screen but is a harsh reality of at least half of marriages today.
Indeed, it had such a real story to tell and it was very real about the way it told it. One of my favourites of last year, too. | 2019-04-24T05:51:28Z | http://www.cinematicparadox.com/2011/07/dvd-blue-valentine.html |

Rebates Archives | Happy Deal - Happy Day!
One of my favorite money saving apps I use is called Ibotta. If you haven’t used it before, then check out this post before downloading it on your smart phone so you can learn how it works. There is a sweet $1 off Oral-B Glide Floss offer I want to be sure you saw. From now until February 28, Ibotta users can receive a $1 rebate on any purchase of Oral-B Glide Manual or Floss Picks at Walmart stores.
Customers can receive cash back after unlocking the rebate and verifying their purchase on the app. PLUS, if there are any newspaper or printable Oral-B coupons between now and February 28th, you can combine offers to save even more! Right now Glide floss costs $3.14 over at Walmart. So your price gets down to $2.14 with the Ibotta rebate, or more if you have a newspaper insert or printable coupon to stack with this deal! Take note that it is only a $1 off rebate if your purchase at Walmart. If you pick up your Glide floss at another store, you’ll only get $0.25 cash back from Ibotta.
I just checked out my coupon data base and there are currently no paper coupons to stack with this deal, but that doesn’t mean that that will be the case all the way thru Feb. 28th – so keep your eyes open for one for extra savings!
You might be wondering why you should choose Oral-B Glide floss over other brands. More dentists and hygienists recommend Oral-B Floss than any other brand. I know personally I always get free Oral-B toothbrushes and Oral-B floss from my dentist every time I go in for a cleaning. Plus, Oral-B Glide Floss slides up to 50% more easily into tight spaces for a superior clean at and below the gum line.
I have learned the hard way about the consequences of not flossing. I tried being lazy and just used a water pick for a season because I hated flossing so much. Next time I went to the dentist I had THREE cavities that needed filling! All of which were on the sides of my teeth that wouldn’t have been there if I actually used floss! I learned the hard way the importance of cleaning in between teeth and especially below the gum line to avoid gingivitis.

Minnie (Kindergarten) was fascinated by how the oil water didnt mix!
We added several different colored drops and tested it out.Previous experiment next experiment.I always plan on just looking for a few cool ideas after the kids go to bed, but the next thing I know, its.m.Instructions: Fill the bottle up about 1/4th (1 quarter) with water.Add a few drops of your favorite food coloring.When you've finished all your Alka-Seltzer, you can take the experiment a step further by tightly screwing on a bottle cap and tipping the bottle back and forth, what happens then?Fill them 1/3 with water.Watch as lion king musical korting ing the color sinks through the oil.
The reason Alka-Seltzer fizzes in such a way is because it contains citric acid and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate the two react with water to form sodium citrate and carbon dioxide gas (those are the bubbles that carry the colored water to the top.And steampunk goggles maken my mind is spinning with all my new pins and the fun Ill have with them.While her hypothesis was incorrect, the lava lamp effect was just as cool in black.The piece of Alka-Seltzer tablet you drop in after releases small bubbles of carbon dioxide gas that rise to the top and take some of the colored water along for the ride.How it Works: The oil floats on top of the water because it is less dense or lighter than water.
Extra Experiments: What happens if you put the cap on after dropping the fizzy tablet in?

How much of your income is used up paying monthly debt payments?
Our debt to income ratio calculator compares your monthly take-home with your monthly debt payments. Lenders use the debt to income ratio to determine how much debt you can carry. We use the same debt ratio calculator to see how healthy your debt load is. A ratio of 36% or less is considered healthy, above 50% and you should consider talking to a debt expert.
Is your debt to income ratio too high?
36% or less: Good. Most lenders consider a ratio of 36% or less a healthy debt load.
A word of caution: If you included only the minimum payments on your credit card debt your ratio will be understated. Paying only the minimum balance each month will keep you in debt. Use our credit card repayment calculator to find out what your payments should be.
37-42%: Manageable. While you may be able to manage with a ratio this high, you are at the maximum range of acceptable. Start working to reduce your debt now and make sure you have adequate savings set aside for emergencies.
A word of caution: If you included only the minimum payments on your credit card debt your ratio will be understated. Paying only the minimum balance each month will keep you in debt. If you are struggling making even those payments it may be time to talk to a professional.
43-49%: Cause for Concern. Make a household debt management plan to start paying down your debts to avoid trouble down the road. If you are making only minimum payments on your credit card debt, you may need help dealing with your debts. Talking to an expert is the best way to get tailored advice and get out of debt faster. Contact an advisor to get free, expert advice on dealing with your debt.
50% or more: Dangerous. You should make a plan to aggressively pay off your debts. At this level you may want to consider seeking professional help to severely reduce your debt. | 2019-04-20T22:48:28Z | http://www.moneyproblems.ca/tools-resources/debt-calculators/debt-to-income-ratio-calculator/ |

According to international statistics, hot-burglaries are more common in places like England and Canada than America. Why? Experts maintain – with good reason – that not all criminals are dumb or willing to be shot, especially in America’s rural pro-gun regions. Read Richard Poe’s The Seven Myths of Gun Control. Or understand that (p.87): “Hot burglaries – in which the criminal enters while people are home – account for only 13 percent of all U.S. burglaries,” compared to nearly 50 percent in other first-world nations.
Alas, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) in Law Abiding Citizen is one of the unlucky ones. He lives in liberal Philadelphia where home-invaders kill his wife and adorable child, in front of him, with no remorse. In an instant his life changes – but the unarmed victim turns vigilante. And to make matters interesting, Shelton goes after the criminals and the system.
To the handsome vigilante’s way of thinking, the “justice” pyramid values criminal-first rules and lawyerly manners, over the lives of others. Thus the movie provides many ethical landmines, with no easy-to-arrive-at answers. What’s more, Shelton’s nightmare is compounded by the fact that prosecutor Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) makes a deal with one of the murderers, in order to guarantee a death penalty outcome for his accomplice.
Seen from the outside, Shelton’s bloody crusade appears psychopathic, but careful viewers will observe that he is often treating criminals and the criminal-friendly system with the same “respect” they gave him (and many other victims of crime). In some ways, Butler’s character is very much like the Spartan warrior he played in the cutting-edge movie, 300. While pacifists like to say that violence begets violence, the ugly truth is that appeasement invites bloodshed.
And Shelton isn’t the only man raising ethical questions. Returning to Foxx’s character, Rice, we confront explosive pro-life issues. By way of example, what will feminists make of the fact that the prosecutor refers to his unborn child as his daughter, while maintaining a pro-death penalty position? Is he a hypocrite or a realist? Maybe he just understands the differences between guilt and innocence, as a pro-life dad.
Director F. Gary Gray, to be sure, is not shy when it comes to showing blood, but at the same time the red liquid stuff never masks real ethical questions. In fact the violence exposes them, for all to see. As history shows blood can be the friend of good art, the whistleblower.
And a confession: I wasn’t ready to confront so many ethical questions, in one action-packed movie. Moreover, the film’s surprising biblical references (to certain moral questions) reminded me of another famous lawbreaker.
Yes. Jesus – no pacifist – came to bring a “sword” not a pretend peace (Matthew 10:34); instructed his followers to purchase weapons (Luke 22:36) and lost a close family member. “To what extent is Butler’s character like him?” I asked.
True, the sword-friendly, table-turning rebel told us to turn the other cheek in some situations, but he never instructed men like Clyde Shelton to turn their children and women over to monsters, or nations over to barbarians. Of the war-friendly centurion with soldiers under him Jesus said, “I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” And would a genuine pacifist intimidate would-be predators with worse-than-drowning threats?
Actually, big flaws are exposed in careerist lawyers, soft-on-crime judges, and their enablers, indicating that one reviewer watched this movie with a blindfold on, or wanted another anti-death penalty musical. For a long time, “social justice” activists (like metropolitan film critics) have sided with criminals over victims, gang rapists over tough prison systems, serial rapists over sodomised girls and liberal judges with bodyguards over working-class families without 24-7 security services.
Law Abiding Citizen isn’t a simple eye-for-an-eye revenge flick, but a movie with an eye on the bigger picture concerning the victims of crime, and it highlights controversial theological differences between soft hearts and soft minds. It basically asks: Who is really going too far?
There’s nothing politically-correct about Gerard Butler’s daring role. If you’re a bit queasy, when it comes to bloody scenes, then stay at home. I, however, am happy to see Gray’s work as a classic American vigilante film, alongside other push-the-envelope films like Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry or The Brave One, with Jodie Foster. Law Abiding Citizen deconstructs the appeaser’s criminal-first theology. It unashamedly shouts, Think. | 2019-04-23T19:50:05Z | https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2010/02/law-abiding-citizen/ |

From estate planning to caring for elderly parents, the legal plan covers members for many common personal legal issues they face throughout their life. We receive feedback from our members regularly about the ways in which the legal plan has helped them with events in their life. Here is one story we received from a legal plan member about how an attorney helped her with family issues she faced.
“The Hyatt legal plan allowed my husband and I to establish a will (after procrastinating four years). We now have more comfort knowing that our four-year-old will be taken care of if something were to happen to us.
1. Plan member had additional legal plan coverage for her parents’ legal issue. Standard plans do not cover drafting estate planning documents for the member’s parents.
2. Example based on the average amount of hours it would take, using the average hourly rate of $338.00/hour based on years of legal experience, National Law Journal and ALM Legal Intelligence, Survey of Law Firm Economics (2016).
3. Rates may vary. This cost is based on the average monthly rate for a plan that covers employee and parent. | 2019-04-26T09:51:44Z | https://www.legalplans.com/real-member-story-family-legal-issues/ |

I love animals – all of them! But as I can’t have them all at home, I do the next best thing I can – create tiny animal figurines or crafts to deck up my home! Sounds boring, but I guarantee it is not! It is, in fact, a lot of fun for kids to make these crafts using the simplest of things, including a few everyday items such as toilet rolls and ice cream sticks.
Now it sounds interesting, doesn’t it? You must try making these awesome animal crafts for kids, listed in this article by MomJunction.
Things always get better and funnier when you get kids involved!
Whether it is for a school project or to keep the children engaged during vacations, making crafts or something artistic is a great way to spend time with your child. Here, we will look at a few simple animal activities for kids.
Has your child ever been to a farm? Do you want to teach him about the animals that live on a farm?
Farm animals are lovable, cute, and cuddly. But when you cannot have live animals at home, you make your own versions of them using everyday objects such as beads, cotton wool and toilet paper rolls.
Do you remember Babe, the smart pig on the farm? We will try to make something as cute as Babe with this new pig craft idea.
If you do not have a pink drum bead, you can choose a white one and paint it pink.
Cut out the ears for the pig from the pink foam sheet. See image for reference.
On one end of the bead, stick the pink buttons using the glue.
Cut a small piece of the pipe cleaner and twist it like a pig’s tail. Stick that to the other end of the bead.
Attach the ears and use a black sketch to draw the eyes of the pig.
The cute little piggy is all yours.
Most of us have one or more of these at home. They are our best friends and love us more than they love themselves. For the love of these animals, here is one of the best dog craft ideas you can try.
Use the glue to arrange or join three ice cream sticks for the lower body and six sticks together for the head. See image.
Cut the ears, nose, paws, tail, and tongue for the dog from foam sheets.
Join the head and the body using glue. Let it dry.
Attach the ears on either side of the head and attach the paws at the bottom.
Glue the nose and the googly eyes.
Draw a curve for the mouth, and stick the red foam cutout for the tongue.
A happy puppy dog is ready to adorn your walls.
This is a simple cat art that needs no more than three things. Once done, the cat can go on the wall or the door.
Use the pencil to draw the outline of a cat’s body. If you cannot draw the shape, use a template.
Cut out the shapes as shown in the picture.
Cut the yellow outline into two and carve the ears, whiskers, and fur as shown in the image.
Stick the yellow foam sheet on top of one of the orange foam cutouts.
Attach the other orange cut out at the back. Use the pink foam sheet to cut the nose, and two circles for the blush on the kitten’s cheeks.
Use a black sketch to draw the mouth and eyes. A little white paint will complete the eyes.
This sheep you are about to make is something out of the popular TV series Shaun the Sheep. Ready?
Make small balls of cotton from wool.
Roll the newspaper into a small ball and hold it tight.
Apply glue all over the paper and stick the cotton balls on it.
After the newspaper is covered entirely in cotton, press it using both your hands – this will ensure that the cotton stays intact.
Dip four toothpicks in glue and stick it on one side of the cotton wool ball, for the feet. Let it dry.
Cut the black straw into equal lengths (two-three inches) and stick them over the toothpicks.
Cut out the face and the ears of the sheep from a black foam sheet and attach them as shown in the image.
Add the googly eyes, and you have an adorable sheep ready.
From farms, we move into the dark and thick jungles, where live the wildest of animals! And then we make these wild animal crafts for older kids or the younger ones.
You might think that creating the ‘fearful symmetry’ of a tiger would be difficult. Well, not really. At least not when you are trying out this tiger crafts tutorial!
Color the paper cup in orange, leaving a small squared white patch, as shown in the image.
Using the black oil paint, draw the stripes on the tiger. Add the nose as well.
Stick the googly eyes above the nose.
Cut the pipe cleaner into two small pieces for the ears. Use the remaining piece to make the tail.
The lion is the king of the jungle. So how can we have a list of wild animal activities for preschoolers without the big cat on it?
Cut the yellow foam sheet in length and breadth of the toilet paper roll. Stick it around the roll using the glue and let it dry. This will be the body.
Using the heart-shaped puncher to cut out 12 little hearts from the orange foam sheet. These will be used to create the mane.
Cut a small round from the yellow sheet, for the lion’s face.
Draw the eyes, the whiskers, and nose on the yellow circle.
Stick the googly eyes to complete the face.
Stick the face to the foam-wrapped toilet paper roll.
Cut three thin, small strips from the yellow foam sheet for the legs and the tail.
Stick a heart to one end of each of the strips.
Attach them to the body as shown in the image.
His majesty is now ready for you!
Crocodile crafts are not as easy to make as they seem. Then again, they don’t have to be. Here is a simple crocodile craft idea for kids.
Paint the ice cream sticks green. Let them dry.
Cut two one-inch pieces of white foam sheet, as wide as the ice cream sticks. Cut the longer edges of the foam in a zigzag pattern, to indicate the teeth. Stick this to one side of the ice cream stick.
Cut the pipe cleaners in two. Roll the halves around the center of the ice cream stick, while leaving a small portion towards the edges of the feet. See picture for reference.
Stick the googly eyes as shown in the image to complete the crocodile.
This is simpler and better than all the enormous crocodile activities, isn’t it?
You might think that you will need a lot of material to make an elephant craft. But our elephant craft ideas are easy to make. Here is one for example.
1. Arrange the three toilet paper rolls as shown in the image. Use glue to make them stick together and leave them to dry.
2. Cut out two circles from the green craft paper, for the ears.
3. For the trunk, cut a small rectangular strip of the same paper.
4. Paint the toes using the white paint.
5. Stick the ears and the trunk using the glue – see image for reference.
6. Add the googly eyes and the green elephant is ready to roll!
This snake is not slithery or creepy in any way. It is a colorful reptile made of drum beads and string!
Arrange the green beads in a line and pull the green string through them. Know the green string at one end.
Make sure that the string is not too thin or thick; it should pass through the beads and also hold them together when knotted.
Add the orange bead at the front end and fasten the other end as well.
For the tongue, cut the black foam sheet as shown in the image.
Attach the googly eyes on the orange bead, and stick the tongue.
When I think of a bear, I think of hugs. So here is a valentine bear, with love and hugs for the little ones.
Cut the brown foam sheet such that it covers the toilet roll entirely. Or, you can paint the toilet roll brown using oil or pastel colors.
Cut out two hearts from the pink foam sheet – a small one for the nose, and a slightly bigger one for the bear to hold.
Cut out the shape of the bear’s face and the hands. Cut out the paws (small spheres) from the brown sheet.
Punch two small circles from the pink sheet – these will go on the paws.
Stick the googly eyes and the smaller heart on the face. Draw the mouth using a black sketch.
Attach the larger heart in the center of the roll.
Use glue to stick the hands, paws, and face to the toilet paper roll.
The cute, valentine bear is ready.
We are done with wild and domesticated animal crafts (at least some of them). In this section, we will try to recreate cute, decorative craft models on other animals, some imaginary and some extinct.
The bat is one of my favorite animals. It is cool and has a superhero named after it.
Paint both the balls black. Leave them to dry.
Once dry, glue the small ball on top of the larger one and let it dry.
Cut out two wings for the bat from the black foam sheet. Make sure they are of the same size – you can use a template to achieve this.
Cut out two small triangles from the white sheet and two black triangles, of the same size, from the black sheet.
Glue in the wings, ears, and teeth as shown in the image.
The cool superhero-like bat is ready. If you can manage to attach a string to the head of the bat (small plastic ball), you can even hang it in the room.
Owls are usually found in places where there is a lot of vegetation. This could be in the deep jungles or the national park near you. But with this craft, you can bring the owl straight to your home.
Use templates or a pencil to sketch and cut the shapes from the foam sheets, as shown in the image.
You should have an outline of the owl’s body, blue cut out for the face and the neck, a pink heart, pink and blue plumes, two white circles, two green circles, two yellow feet, a white heart, and two small triangles, one red and another yellow.
Place the red outline on the table and stick the large pink heart at the bottom, with its pointy side down.
Attach the blue cutout on that, as shown in the image.
Add the pink and the blue plumes on the top – see picture for reference.
Glue the green circles on the larger white ones, and then stick the googly eyes on them. Stick that on the blue cutout.
Create a nose using the red and the yellow triangles.
Glue the heart and the feet and the owl is ready.
It may seem like a lot of work goes into making this owl. But once you get the cutouts ready, it will take you less than ten minutes to get the owl craft done.
Now a fire breathing dragon must be a complicated craft, right?
Wrong. We have figured out a way to make this one of the simplest fire-breathing Chinese dragon crafts and toys that your child can make.
Cover the toilet paper roll with green foam sheet. This will be the face of the dragon.
Stick the googly eyes on the woolen rounds and let them dry.
Use two small coils of the pipe cleaner to make nostrils of the dragon.
Glue the eyes and the nostrils to the toilet roll.
Cut the orange and yellow craft paper in half and make thin, long strips from them. See image for reference.
Stick the strips of paper at the bottom, inside the toilet paper roll, to make it seem like there’s fire coming out from the dragon’s mouth.
Note: To use this as a toy, hold the dragon roll in hand and blow air from the top (head) to make the strips of the paper move. And then, the child can pretend to be a fire breathing dragon!
Dinosaurs may be long extinct, but we still are in awe of those magnificent creatures. That is why we have included this cool dinosaur craft on our list.
Use a protractor to cut out the body of the dinosaur. You can also use a pencil to draw it first and then cut it.
Cut out small triangles from the orange sheet, and a small pear-shaped cutout for the head.
Use the glue to attach four green strips to the non-curvy side of the body, and one to the side to make the neck.
Fix the spikes on the curvy top portion of the body, head, and tail.
If the result looks like the final image in our collage, the dinosaur is ready!
This one is a time-taking craft, not just because we will be making a snail, but because it has an intricate design.
Use a template or sketch an outline of a snail on the yellow foam sheet.
Cut it out using scissors.
Glue a compact disc on the spherical part of the snail’s body. See image.
Apply glue on the CD and start sticking the buttons on it, until the disc is covered entirely.
Add the googly eyes and the pipe cleaner to complete the craft.
You can also try horse crafts, fish crafts, goat crafts, and all other animal crafts for kids to make your child’s vacation interesting. Working on animal crafts with your children allows you to teach them about the animal world. The kids will not only learn but also remember animal facts better when you teach them through crafts.

Keratoconus is the thinning of the cornea – the clear dome-shaped outer surface of your eye. Eventually, the cornea bulges outward into a cone shape causing blurred vision, sensitivity to light and difficulty seeing at night. Most commonly affecting individuals between the ages of 10 to 25, the chance of developing it increases if it runs in the family. Keratoconus can worsen over time so early detection is key.
Different treatment options are available, depending on the severity. Mild to moderate Keratoconus may be treated with eyeglasses or specialty contact lenses. Another treatment is called Corneal Crosslinking, which uses riboflavin and UV light to strengthen the cornea.
Cross-Linking for Progressive Keratoconus from Avedro on Vimeo.
Atlantic Eye Institute is the first in Jacksonville to offer corneal crosslinking with Avedro’s Photrexa Viscous®, Photrexa® and KXL® System- the first and only FDA approved therapeutic treatment for progressive keratoconus.
Corneal crosslinking is a medical procedure that combines the use of ultra-violet (UV) light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops. It works by increasing collagen crosslinks which are the natural “anchors” within the cornea. These anchors are responsible for preventing the cornea from bulging out and becoming steep and irregular.
The aim of this treatment is to arrest progression of keratoconus, and thereby prevent further deterioration in vision and the need for corneal transplantation. Glasses or contact lenses will still be needed following the cross-linking treatment (although a change in the prescription may be required).
People who are considering laser vision correction procedures such as LASIK also might be pre-treated with corneal crosslinking to strengthen the eye’s surface before undergoing an excimer laser ablation that reshapes the cornea.
If you have been told that you have keratoconus, schedule a free consultation to find out if corneal crosslinking is your solution! | 2019-04-22T13:07:38Z | https://www.atlanticeyeinstitute.com/cornea/keratoconus/ |
Just Being Frank: We're off!
Tomorrow morning, (3:30am to be exact), Jeremy and I leave for our cruise. We will be going to the Southern Caribbean. Or maybe Northern. I'm not really sure. We leave from San Juan, that I know for sure.
Yes, we will be the youngest people by 20 years on this cruise.
Yes, we likely will meet another nice couple on the ship, exchange numbers, and hope to keep in contact. They will have never heard of Facebook.
Yes, the aforementioned couple will likely be in their mid 70's and have strange physical ailments.
Yes Grandma, I will stay away from the water. On the cruise ship.
Yes, I will wear sunscreen. And no, I will never again mix sun screen with bug spray.
Yes, we likely will buy some strange piece of art from the art auction that we just, 'had to have', and then bring it home to find that it is totally bizarre.
Yes, we will be gone for New Years. We will be spending it with our new geriatric friends. Sipping Metamucil at the stroke of Midnight.
No, I will not be surprised if Jeremy requires that both of us wear life jackets the entire time on board. Even on the formal night.
We'll be back next Sunday. Rested. With many more freckles. And with our new 70 year old friends.
And when I return...just wait for the blog entitled, "This is what Jews do on Christmas". It's going to be great!

Lucca is one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany. The old town has many sights to offer. The wall of Lucca is world famous, it is one of the few completely preserved city walls in Europe. Besides the old amphitheatre from the Roman times, the Cathedral San Martino and some towers are highlights in the old town of Lucca.
Lucca is also a city of churches and towers. There are more than 50 churches in Lucca and many interesting towers. Several can be climbed. You have a great view of the old town from above. Beside the church tower of the cathedrals we recommend the tower Torre Guinigi. On top of the tower from the 14th century, in the middle of the old town of Lucca, is a small garden with trees (oaks). Also interesting is the highest tower of Lucca „Torre delle Ore“ with a famous clock (climbing the Torre delle Ore is only possible in the tourist season from April to October). All three known towers cost a few euros entrance fee.
All the sights mentioned are in the Old Town within the city walls and only a few hundred metres apart. Lucca can be easily explored on foot. However, there are also public buses, some of which run through the old town in minibuses.
By train: There are trains every hour from Florence (about 1 1/4 hours travel time), Pisa (20 min, often 2 x per hour) and Viareggio by the sea (20 min) to Lucca.
The train station is outside the old town wall, but only about 200 metres from the famous Lucca city wall. There is hardly a city in Tuscany that is better suited for a day trip than Lucca.
Lucca is not far from the sea and from Pisa. | 2019-04-25T17:46:44Z | https://italy-sights.info/lucca_sights/ |

Travel has always been a favorite recreational activity for people worldwide over the past few years. With the decreasing leisure time and increasing costs, consumers are more conscious about their travel choices; they expect value for every dollar spent. This has resulted in extensive information search on where to go, when to go, and how to go. The new-age traveler has harnessed IT to know about the best destinations and world-class services. In 2013, the number of international visitors to South Korea increased by more than that of global and regional averages. A nation that is better known for its manufacturing prowess is set to up its ante in the Tourism sector.

The Magnogrid is a high strength magnetic tool designed with performance and manual handling as the main considerations to provide a complete magnetic barrier across the width and depth of drilling fluid from down-hole returns. All Magnogrids are designed and engineered to each specific location thereby maximising metal particle separation efficiency. The Magnogrid magnetic rods are suspended from a frame that is fabricated to fit the rig flow line. On a conventional drilling application a typical rig installation would apply 2-3 frames with the magnetc rods offset for maximum coverage. This system is highly flexible, additional frames can easily be added to increase coverage where an increased quantity of metallic debris is expected - such as the cutting of a whipstock window. The geometry of our Magnogrid rods and frames can also be adapted to fit all geometries of flow line or tank, as illustrated below. | 2019-04-19T13:25:15Z | http://www.romarinternational.co.uk/ditch-magnets/magnogrid/ |

Human beings use a surprising range of methods to dispose of dead corpses the world over. However, now with world populations burgeoning out of control and concern for its impact on the planet, the people at Promessa are looking for new, innovative ways to deal with the dead.
Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak, a biologist and founder of Promessa, believes that her controversial burial process is the answer for the future. She further believes that freeze-drying the dead is a process which is going to revolutionise the cremation industry. They place the corpse into a vat of liquid nitrogen where it breaks down. Thus freeze-dried they bury the remains in a shallow grave.
This idea of Susanne Wiigh-Mäsak isn’t an overnight idea. She has been thinking about and researching this idea, regarding it as an ecological form of burial, for some 20 years. She formed the company Promessa Organic AB with the idea to assist dead people whose wish is to quickly return to the earth.
Wiigh-Mäsak reckons that her method is far more sustainable than embalming or cremation. She says that traditional burials with a coffin and body rot slowly and release methane. On the other hand, Promessa’s process is about powdery bodies buried shallowly and which break down far quicker.
Promessa – How does Freeze Drying Work?
For starters, this organic burial process does away with toxic embalming fluids. This is a huge step towards reducing the impact on the environment. The first part of the freeze drying process involves removing the water from the corpse. The corpse freezes to 0ºF then goes into the liquid nitrogen. The process requires that the corpse be freeze-dried in liquid nitrogen within a week and a half after death.
Sound waves then vibrate the corpse which has become brittle, transforming it into an organic white powder. The powder then goes through a vacuum chamber that evaporates the water, and this reduces the mass of the corpse. If the person had any metal medical parts in the body, a metal separator removes the parts from the powder. The organic powder is odourless and because it won’t decompose if kept dry, there is no rush for burial.
If the person prefers burial, the powder goes into a biodegradable carton and then into a shallow grave. A shrub or tree can be planted above the burial site. As apposed to a traditional burial where decomposition takes a long time, within the space of 6 – 12 months the entire coffin and powder become loam. Its high nutrient content nourishes the tree which stands as a symbol of the deceased person.
Wiigh-Mäsak owns a greenhouse and grows 15,000 organic plants. The tranquil hours spent in the greenhouse persuaded her that human beings can be part of the natural ecological cycle.
Green organisations have presented the company she started, Promessa, with awards. The company has also received recognition from UNESCO for the environmental benefits of the Promession process.

Aspects to Reflect on When Planning for a Tourism Destination.
Well, the entire earth may look like a petite place as most people today tend to picture but when it comes to journeying all over it, it proves to be a pretty major place. Making the decision of exactly where to go on vacation can be quite challenging because there are many alternatives on the table and for that matter it is advisable to have precise plan of just what you want in order to make the right decision on the ideal tourism destination to pick. Here are the many vital facets to put into consideration when planning.
Above all, having a careful consideration about your budget is very wise. Some tourism destinations have services that are offered at cheap costs so are there destinations that have services offered at very high prices. Bearing in mind how much you have and the amount of cash you are willing to spend is really vital. You would not want to get stranded at a strange place just because you did not know the importance of strictly following your budget. You will be in a great position to know the way of transport that bests suits you after deciding your budget.
When planning for a trip it is wise to realize where to sleep after an entire day of fun and leisure. This is if you’re planning to stay for a little while but, all the same plans change sometimes. Knowing the length of your vacation makes you find it such an easy task to plan for your destination. You may take an ample time to search for the ideal hotel and preserve a room beforehand to simply avoid inconveniences during the vacation.
Furthermore, you need to think about the fact that unlike areas have different climatic setting so packing the right gear and carrying them with you is fundamental. You ought to understand the weather condition of your tourism destination so that you possess the knowledge of exactly what you could carry and what isn’t essential to bring along during your planning session. If your destination is still experiencing the chills then it is prudent to carry heavy clothing and bedding to keep you warm.
Ultimately, most people severally ignore the aspect of health and wellbeing of the own bodies when planning for a vacation not realizing exactly how vital it is if they want to return home in healthy. At some point in your planning, considering your health is really an intelligent move to make. Make sure that your body has no alterations by seeking assistance from a physician before travelling. Similarly, you need to research very extensively the area that you are about to visit just to make sure that it is safe and there are no disease outbreaks that will alter your health. Keeping in mind all the aspects you are bound to have the right plan. | 2019-04-20T02:15:04Z | http://www.teatreecafe.com/smart-ideas-activities-revisited.html |
Hi Ray I belive with most of what you are saying.HOWEVER I would sure love to see anyone ( let alone a student ) doing 50 takoffs and landings in an hour.
I said 50 take-offs and landings/touch-n-goes per hour of stick time. On a typical training flight of 30 minutes duration, most touch-downs are touch-n goes, simply because it takes too long to come to a full stop, taxi back, and then take off again. Each flight ends with a dead stick landing which does stay on the ground and rolls out to a full stop.
And 500 flights before they solo.
You must have some real bad students if it takes them 500 flights to solo.
I don't think a student is good or bad if it takes them 500 trips around the airport trafic pattern to solo, just typical or average. Some students solo after just 300 times around the pattern. Others require over a thousand. My job is to make sure each touch down is a good one and that the airplane is not damaged. My student's job is to learn, (by sense of touch), what to do with the sticks to bring the airplane down without needing me to assist. It is not really so important that the student solo at any certain time, just whatever time it takes them individually. The important thing for them is that they learn how to get the plane down with confidence and precision so they can build additional flight time on their own, as solo pilots.
I have a question, What did you do to become this, and I quote, "Professional R/C Flight Instructor" as there aren't any accredited schools that offer such a course, degree or diploma.
Amateur - a person who engages in any art, science, study, or athletic activity as a pastime rather than a profession...receiving no monetary compensation.
Professional - a person who receives pay for their services.
By these definitions, no matter how good someone is at a service, if they are not paid for their time/service, they are defined as "amateur". Also, no matter how bad at a service someone is, if they get paid for their time/service, they are defined as "professional".
Notice, these definitions say nothing about the quality of the service, either amateur or professional. There are probably some pretty good amateur golfers, for instance, who might make some money in the pro ranks, if they tried. There are also probably a few pro golfers who are just barely getting by and perhaps should consider finding a more financially rewarding way to make a living.
Bottom line...I am paid to teach people to fly model airplanes, and that makes me a professional at it.
As far as certification goes, I considered myself "self-certified" as a professional R/C Flight Instructor after I completed teaching (and documented with awarding of solo certificates), 100 individuals to fly with virtually no damage to their trainer aircraft in the process.
AMA in the US or MAAC in Canada don't recognize the "professional instructor" but do recognize instructors qualified through a club that is sanctioned by them and have met certain criterial.
I am not too concerned with recognition as a professional by the AMA or MAAC. My main concern is that my students recognize that they learned to fly without damaging their equipment and were happy to pay my fees to do it.
I think we are getting into the "...chicken or egg..." argument when we ask these professionals how they became professionals. These guys are obviously pioneers and as such there will not be anyone to endorse them as qualified "professionals." The only certification they have is happy customers.
I agree. The only certification I am interested in is the "happy customer" certification, and I haven't had a displeased customer/student yet.
If the concept catches on, there will undoubtedly develop some sort of certification. In the mean time, these pioneers are the same as any flight instructor at a club as far as the AMA and others are concerned. However, as pointed out above, they offer better service than most club based free instructors.
Thank you for that asknowledgment. It means a lot to me.
Personally, I had a very good club experience for free and if I started off knowing I had to pay additional money to learn, I may not have started in the hobby at all.
Nobody is saying you must pay additional money to learn. Professional flight training is just an option, which, in my opinion people should be allowed to choose, or not choose.
However, I was frustrated at times because my schedule and instructors schedule did not always mesh.
I hear that story nearly every day from potential students who have contacted me to talk about learning to fly model airplanes.
I don't know if Ray is going to respond, but I know from his previous discussions that the 50 take offs and landings are in an hour of actual flying time, which obviously takes more than a clock hour to accomplish. Ray's planes have to come down and be re-fueled just like ours and his students need rest. But, from what I understand, his students basically take off, get their bearings, and set up for landing, over and over. With that in mind, one landing per minute is not unreasonable.
You are correct. Typical training flights are 30 minutes in duration and include at least 25 (typically 30 or more) touch-n-goes with an intentional dead stick landing at the end of the flight. A solo certificate is awarded to the student as soon as they can demonstrate three circuits around the field with taxi back to the pilot's station after the final roll out.
I paid for my flight instruction... Yep, each crash of the ARFs I was trying to learn with cost about $100... occasionally more, if I wrecked the engine and some radio parts) and that was for one (short!) flight. By the time I finally got a trainer kit and some help, I had already turned at least $500 or more worth of models into landfill. That same $500 would have paid for a LOT of instruction.
Get a good trainer model, and get some help. It will save you a lot of money, frustration, and possible law suits. Whether you pay or not probably isn't so important. And don't forget to HAVE FUN! That's why we're all here, right?
Some very interesting posts about instruction...let me quickly toss in my 2 cents. I got tired of watching 'instructors' crash my Trainer 60! Took my plane home, ordered a copy of RealFlight and it's been blue skies ever since. Sure, I've planted a couple of planes, but I've done it attempting pretty nasty stuff.
My biggest hurdle was training my hands and mind to use the sticks on my radio to control the airplane at any attitude or orientation...without having to think about it...Once you nail that, the airplane just becomes an extension. My advice? Buy a copy of RealFlight...check eBay for deals. It's expensive but you can crash it over and over while trying that new move...hit the spacebar and there you are...sitting on the runway, waiting to take off again.
Good luck all and happy flying.
I hear what you are saying. However most instructors whoget payed to teach don't ususly wipe out planes. Especialy if you are learning on theirs.
I have used real flight. I think it's great.
Check out this site to show the difference between being trained for free from a club and a proper way a commercial RC flight school should be run.
The main difference is, that as opposed to clubs, not that clubs don't do the best they can, the beginner is the paid instructor's only priority.
Sorry but advertising for an Instructor/Paid Instructor for a hobby that the Instructor was probably taught for free anyhow is B.S.
95% of these so called Paid Instructors were taught for free. 100% of all of the R/C Pilots in America were taught for free prior to this get rich Generation your a part of!! We see it every darn day people sueing for B.S. like getting burnt by coffee etc.
Lets get back to reality, You've bee given an opportunity to give something to your community why not provide a little instruction in flying or building. Instead you paid instructors sit there dreaming up more schemes(Now how can I make some more Money of this Kid and his Father)..
The purpose of posting the url for that flight school was to show the difference between what free instructors offers and what a paid flight instructor offers and not meant as advsertisement.
Now if you can match what the school offers for free, then you got a case. I think beginners are smart enough to make a choice, at least now they have a choice. Place an ad in any magazine offering the public free instruction and be prepared to teach a lot of people. Apparently, you are not aware of the enormous number of beginners who are ready to pay for the extra help they can't get in their clubs. A paid instructor might teach 60 people per year. How many does the one free instructor teach?
I was taught for free and went through 4 airplanes and 3 years before I could fly on my own. Why it took so long was that instructors were always hard to fly. If I had the choice, (which I didn't at the time) I would've gladly paid to learn in less than a week. All and all, with paid instruction, I would've saved a few hundred dollars and many trips back and forth to the flying field. BTW, I only crashed one of those planes. I have my free instructors to thank for the other pilot error crashes.
I was taught by ScorpionJack (without a BB) who would be a so called "amateur" instructor by those who would term themselves "professional". I am currently ranked 30th worldwide flying F3A precision aerobatics, boy sure hurt me to have an "amateur" teach me. Do you "pros" really think you can offer better instruction than the "amatuers", I doubt it. Its the quality of the instruction that counts not the quantity.
On another point, I cannot understand how you can call yourself a professional? Who granted you that designation? As an engineer I must work 4 years write a test get recommended etc etc before I can use the designation "professional engineer". Using that designation without any qualifications is a crock.
Provide solid concrete proof that "pro" instructors are better.
Not all of us are as lucky as you to have such a talented instructor on hand. Like I suggested, place an ad to teach the world for free, like an...ok, commercial instructor does.
Beginners are always asking me why those who already know how to fly has such a personal problem with the concept of paid instruction. 2 of the instructors who helped me could barely fly themselves, but since they were the only game in town, I had no choice.
Well, I guess there are those who have their mind made up the paid instruction is wrong, wrong, wrong and no amount of logic will change that. So be it.
I don't think any of the paid instructors here are saying that volunteer instructors can't do a good job. Obviously, many do and excellent job and their work is responsible for the vast majority of fliers today. What they are offering is AVAILABILITY and guarenteed stick time. Which is something that MOST volunteer instructors can't always provide despite their best intentions.
I have read with interest all of the Comments, some quite Nasty.
i can speak from experience as i in fact Travelled from New Zealand to Ray Smith's Flight Training School in Monterey in Jan -Feb 2001.
The Training Method does work, and in fact is very Student Orientated and Ray a Very Capable Instuctor.
The reason i went to Ray's School is that i found that most of the Members of any Club are Stuck-Up, Self Interested Individuals who do not like you on "Their Patch" as also appears from the Attitude of some of these Vitriolic Comments so far.
When i was being trained we in fact had 1 from New Foundland,[Self Employed}and a Doctor from Switzerland so the comments "as being thick' is a Bit Rich from some of the subscribers.
Also Ray is assisting the American Economy, we all Hired Cars, stayed in Motels, ate out , purchased things,spent a lot in your local communities and returned with 7 more bags than we left with and made Friends which we still have to this day.
This time we are returning to the USa to revisit our friends, and travel, Spending more and bringing and additional visitor, and Yes i will be meeting up with Ray to do some more Flying.
So i suggest before anyone else "Puts Their Foot in Their Mouth"go see Ray, Fly and Try then you can make an Informed Comment instead of what we call "Shooting Your Mouth Off'.
By the way i Own My own Company.
I don't think any of the paid instructors here are saying that volunteer instructors can't do a good job. Obviously, many do an excellent job and their work is responsible for the vast majority of fliers today. What they are offering is AVAILABILITY and guarenteed stick time. Which is something that MOST volunteer instructors can't always provide despite their best intentions.
As I discussed in my first post on this thread, there are two more dimensions to flight training at the professional level besides AVAILABILITY (showing up) and GUARANTEEING STICK TIME (dedicating time to teaching). Most people do arrive at my school thinking these first two are the most important things they will be receiving at my school. The other two things, GUARANTEEING EVERYTHING (as in taking full responsibility for any damage which might occur during training) and USING A TRUELY HELPFULL TRAINING TECHNIQUE (not the buddy box) which allows them to actually feel the correct inputs needed to fly, (and especially land) with precision, become quite big parts of their overall appreciation of what I do only after they have started their flight training. They quickly realize, (after landing more than 100 times their first day of training), that they can "see the light at the end of the tunnel", and that they will actually achieve what they came to me to do (become solo pilots) in just a matter of days at my school (typically 4 to 6).
In other words, at the professional level of R/C flight training, showing up and dedicating yourself to training your students is only half of what you are expected to do. The other half (which volunteers seem, quite often to be lacking), is taking full responsibility for the safety of the airplane and putting the student into many landings, right from the start so that they will be able to demonstrate solo proficiency (and earn their solo certificates) in the minimum possible time frame.
Re: Beginners Forum Subject ??
If what you're getting at is that this subject has been beat to death in this thread... then I certainly agree.
I was taught by ScorpionJack (without a BB) who would be a so called "amateur" instructor by those who would term themselves "professional". I am currently ranked 30th worldwide flying F3A precision aerobatics, boy sure hurt me to have an "amateur" teach me.
Your instructor is not responsible for how well you do with flying R/C model airplanes after you solo, you are. There is no substitute for stick time, but it is hard to build stick time if you can't land the airplane. It doesn't really matter how you get to the point of soloing, just that you get there so you can realize your potential as a pilot.
Do you "pros" really think you can offer better instruction than the "amatuers", I doubt it. Its the quality of the instruction that counts not the quantity.
I agree that quality of instruction is very important, in that you will solo sooner with better training. Again, it's up to you to reach your own potential as a pilot, after you solo.
On another point, I cannot understand how you can call yourself a professional? Who granted you that designation?
As I said earlier in this thread, I considered myself "certified" as a professional flight instructor after I documented 100 solo pilots trained without damage to their equipment in the process, and was paid to do it.
As an engineer I must work 4 years write a test get recommended etc etc before I can use the designation "professional engineer". Using that designation without any qualifications is a crock.
I am also an engineer, now retired, (Aeronautical Engineer, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, 1968.) I received a salary for my work as a flight test engineer at Edwards Air Force Base and I was a member of the SFTE (Society of Flight Test Engineers) for many years. As a professional flight instructor, I guarantee all aspects of my training, and I receive compensation for my work. I think that is enough to consider myself "professional" at what I do now.
One-hundred-sixty-two solo certificates (so far) awarded to students who completed training with me. I think that is fairly "concrete" proof, but that's just my thoughts on the matter.
I read ALL the post's and there's been nothing new said since page one. How about closing this before the flames get out of control?
Now we're getting into major posturing... IMO... it's time to give this subject a rest.
By all means, close this thread. I am sure that the 1722 viewers are aware of the situation, of whom, many must be disillusioned beginners. It would've been nice if those beginners could've spoken for themselves, but I realize that they must of thought it better that they didn't.
For those who have a problem with paid instruction, they should add their names to AMA's instructor list. There is a page for instructors to do so, be they volunteers or otherwise.
If this page was inundated with volunteer instructors, this would make it all but impossible for anyone to get paid to teach. I will check on that page now and then to see how many volunteers add their names to that list, especially those who posted their thoughts on this thread.
Please put an end to this discussion immediately, as you said, it isn't helping beginners at all.
What we need now is people who can teach new modelers how to build, cover, install equipmment and properly set up any model to fly.
Talk to you guys later, Im going out to fly. | 2019-04-21T04:35:43Z | http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/beginners-85/28722-paying-flight-insrucrtion-4.html |

A member of the Seventh Day Apostolic Church in Blantyre (Ndirande Majiga) has been convicted and sentenced to twenty four months imprisonment with hard labour for a charge of negligent act causing harm which contravenes section 247 of the Penal Code.
The accused Saddock Jemitala Kankhuni of Zuze village traditional authority Njolomole in Ntcheu was arrested together with two members of the Church following the death of his pregnant wife on 30th August, 2018.
The deceased Bombisi Lackson 30, according to her uncle who reported the incident to Police, developed a pregnancy related sickness on August 27 while she was seven months pregnant.
Instead of taking her to hospital for medication, the accused and members of the church locked her up in her house.
The members of the church prevented any of her relatives who were not members of this church from coming to cheer the patient saying they were praying for her healing.
As fate had it, the woman died three days later amid prayer sessions.
Matter was reported to Police. The Police rushed to the scene and took the body to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital.
The medical report also indicated that the woman’s life could have been saved if she was taken to the hospital in time.
Police investigations led to the arrest of the husband, the pastor (Jeremiah Levison) and church elder (Hosea Mikeasi).
Appearing before the Blantyre Senior Resident Magistrate Court, the three pleaded not guilty to the charge.
During trial, his worship Martin Chipofya acquitted the pastor and church elder respectively of negligent act causing harm.
Chipofya said the two were not directly responsible to take the deceased to hospital. He said this was the responsibility of the husband to refer his wife for medical attention when he noticed of her illness.
Senior Resident Magistrate Chipofya then convicted and sentenced the accused to twenty four months imprisonment with hard labour saying this should serve as a warning to would be offenders.
The deceased hailed from Chimdikiti village traditional authority Kalembo in Balaka. | 2019-04-19T23:15:15Z | http://www.faceofmalawi.com/2018/10/man-slapped-2-years-jail-sentence-over-death-of-his-pregnant-wife/ |

DVP's top 10 holdings account for about 58.91% of its total assets under management.
The ETF return is roughly 7.58% so far this year and is down about -4.58% in the last one year (as of 03/12/2019). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $28.82 and $37.21.
The fund has a beta of 1.07 and standard deviation of 17.44% for the trailing three-year period, which makes DVP a high risk choice in this particular space. With about 21 holdings, it has more concentrated exposure than peers.
Deep Value ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.
IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD) tracks Russell 1000 Value Index and the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) tracks CRSP U.S. Large Cap Value Index. IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $37.84 B in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $46 B. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.20% and VTV charges 0.05%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Large Cap Value. | 2019-04-26T05:49:42Z | https://m.nasdaq.com/article/is-deep-value-etf-dvp-a-strong-etf-right-now-cm1112956 |
I'm using the carousel widget with a list inside it for dynamic items. I'm initially populating it when the page loads and that works fine, but if I add a an element to the list in a separate action later it doesn't display properly. For example, the spacing between the carousel elements isn't correct and additional dots for the elements aren't added. Is this intended behaviour?
Can you post a print of how is the carousel element tree and its settings?
Neither of them have any events set. | 2019-04-26T14:51:58Z | https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/46518/mobile-carousel-formatting-breaks-when-a-new-item-is-added/ |

In a move experts say is medically unsound — and can be dangerous — Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin said in a radio interview Tuesday that he deliberately exposed all nine of his children to chickenpox so they would catch the disease and become immune.
Two medical experts called the practice unsafe and unwise.
"I would never recommend or advise it," said Dr. Robert Jacobson, a pediatrician and expert in vaccines and childhood diseases at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. "It's just dangerous."
A Bevin spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He and his wife, Glenna, have nine children, four adopted.
“And I think, why are we forcing kids to get it?" Bevin said in the radio interview, speaking about the chickenpox vaccine. "If you are worried about your child getting chickenpox or whatever else, vaccinate your child ... But for some people, and for some parents, for some reason they choose otherwise. This is America. The federal government should not be forcing this upon people. They just shouldn’t."
More: Bevin says lawmakers need 'the intestinal fortitude' to pass pension reformChickenpox, an infectious disease with itchy skin blisters and fever, is preventable by a vaccine that became publicly available in 1995.
Dr. Dennis Clements, the chief medical officer at Duke Children's Hospital, who has written about the deliberate-exposure practice popular with some parents, said he strongly advises against it.
"A lot of parents do expose their children so they can get it and get it over with," Clements said. "The vaccine is much safer, and if the vaccine is given to a child, they are much less likely to have shingles as an adult."
In a 2005 article, Clements wrote that parents have asked him throughout his practice whether its a good idea to expose their children to another child with chickenpox "to get it over with." Clements, in the article, said he recommends the vaccine which was licensed in 1995.
While some children may get over the disease and appear fine, that isn't always the case and can sometimes be fatal, Clements said in an email.
"It is true that most children exposed to chickenpox will get an illness from which they will recover — but remember you are talking to the survivors," he said in an email. "Those children that were exposed and died have parents that would probably say something else."
Jacobson said shingles, a related viral infection that emerges later in life and can be extremely painful, is just one of the risks of skipping the vaccine. Other risks include serious secondary skin infection, he said.
Before vaccination was available, chickenpox killed as many as 100 adults and children a year.
"I think it is taking a big risk that you don’t need to take," Jacobson said. "It's not just a risk your children are going to have. You're putting other people in the community at risk because of your decision."
That prompted a lawsuit by Jerome Kunkel, a senior at Assumption Academy, who claimed health officials violated his freedom of religion and other rights by ordering students without the vaccine to not attend school or extracurricular activities.
Kunkel, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in Boone County Circuit Court, opposes the vaccine on religious grounds "due to its being derived from aborted fetal cells."
Jacobson said it is true that the vaccine was developed in the 1960s with cells from an infected fetus that had been aborted.
But modern vaccines given to children do not contain those cells and no aborted fetuses are used to produce vaccine. Jacobson said officials with the Roman Catholic church have endorsed use of the vaccine and support it as safe, effective and not a violation of any church tenants.
Manufacture of the vaccine does not require aborted fetal cells, Jacobson said. "Nor do cells from the original aborted fetus end up in the vaccine a person is giving a child." | 2019-04-21T04:38:15Z | https://ux.tcpalm.com/story/news/politics/2019/03/20/kentucky-gov-matt-bevin-exposed-kids-chickenpox-instead-vaccine/3224393002/ |

Here is a bit about my experience and credentials. I take time to share these things because without them you might think the information I provide was successful for me because of good fortune. It wasn’t. It was a series of strategic decisions and intuition. It took many years of personal and professional development to get to the level of competence and confidence I have now. I don’t consider myself old, but it is fascinating to look back on one’s life and pick out the moments that mattered most. So here is my story.
I have about 14 years of experience in Information Technology and Professional Services. I have my BS in Biology, my MBA with a focus in Technology Management. I also recently obtained my Certified Business Consultant (CBC) designation and I’m working on my Certified Business Coaching Specialist (CBCS) designation from The Business Training Institute. How did I get to this point? Here is my (hopefully) concise answer.
My story starts back in Englewood, New Jersey where my first job was as a stock boy at Drug Fair. As a matter of professional growth, this tenure was largely uneventful. I was told what to do and I did it. I also volunteered at Englewood hospital on the weekends; a more rewarding experience. I think I was 18 when I met the Lamboys and landed a job at Aylward’s II Health Foods. I would work my way up to manager in my 7+ year tenure there, learning the first great professional lesson of my life – how to interact with different personalities when sales depend totally on my information and care for my clients. The Lamboys are still great family friends, relaxing in some beautiful country estate in Puerto Rico. Sal, Leonor, Nick, Luis, and Frank, I want to take this moment to publicly thank you for giving me the first opportunity to express myself professionally and to have responsibility over important things.
I soon met Susan Venditti (“Russo” now) and we began dating in 2000. We were married in 2004 and it’s been incredible ever since. I had reached the top of what I would be able to contribute at the health food store, but I had no belief that I could learn something new well enough to advance into a new career. Luckily for me Susan had plenty of belief for both of us. She’s the ultimate combination of determination and intelligence. She is the kind of person who is so dependable that most people take it for granted and forget to be thankful. Susan was the driving force for my making a move into the unknown of Information Technology (IT). She has a knack for seeing potential and nurturing it. That is the one idea that now binds us closer than any other – that there can be no better pursuit than helping people become the best version of themselves. Thank you Sue for all these things and the countless others you’ve done to improve my life.
So in 2001 I landed the kind of IT position that most people with no experience might expect – one that included no IT at all. It was a customer service position for Paradigm Direct, which would later become Mosaic Performance Solutions during an acquisition. Then one day, the right day/right time phenomenon actually happened to me. I went to work early one day so I coincidentally found myself in an elevator with Peter Seymour. He introduced me to the world of Quality Assurance (QA), and the rest is history. I need to doubly thank Peter, not only for all the skills he taught me, but for extending himself a second time to get me a job at Beverage Data Network (BDN) in 2003. Without Peter, I would not have the career I have today, for multiple reasons.
It was at BDN that I continued my work as a Sr. QA Analyst and made a big enough impression to Manny Liwanag that he lobbied on my behalf to have me promoted into a hybrid Business Analyst/Project Manager position once we were acquired by The Nielsen Company. Manny had an eye for talent, I must say! All jokes aside, thank you Manny for seeing my potential and getting me into that position. It was a turning point in my career. Joe Giordano, I’d also like to thank you for taking over where Manny left off and teaching me all the foundational skills of business analysis and project management. These are still skills I use today and will always remember. I will never find another person with even a fraction of the wine and spirits industry knowledge that you have. You are a gentleman and a true example of what it means to dedicate yourself to truly mastering a discipline.
After Nielsen, I worked at Archive Systems where I began my foray into internal process improvement. I worked directly with the QA, software development, sales, and marketing teams. The people from whom I learned there are too many to count, but I’d like to thank some of you for your contributions to my ongoing professional development. Thank you to Don Cohen, Felicia Rella, Jerry Gaudet, Deni Llambiri, Andrew Antoneypillai, Heath Blount, BJ Johnson, Paul Dimmig, and Peeter Tootsov.
I then moved into a very interesting position at GAB Robins, North America. I say it was interesting because they were a client of Archive Systems. I was able to understand the impact of our product from the perspective of a client. This has given me a unique perspective that I still use today. I am able to help my clients believe that I care about the things they care about because I experienced those things first hand. It absolutely helps me forge stronger more fruitful professional relationships. I’d like to than Hilke Puzo, Ed Grabowiecki, Barbara Bielawski, and Alejandro Meseguer for teaching me the intricacies of accounts payable and for giving me the chance to experience a product life cycle from both sides.
GAB was a temporary project, so I moved into a position at Merced Systems, which would later be acquired by NICE Systems, the company where I work today. My current position includes consulting in the area of service performance management. Via acquisition of my former company, I’ve been with the company a total of 5 years and very much enjoy the experience of providing value for my clients. I help clients develop strategies for employee coaching, recognition, and improving specific behaviors that lead to better performance. Although the end result of my projects is the implementation of a product that automates these processes, I especially enjoy the interaction process. That is – talking with people to learn what things motivate them to perform better and learning why they value certain strategies.
I’ve grown quite a bit professionally during my time at NICE. John Rusconi, Carl Rustic, and Peter Sellar deserve thanks for helping transform me from the person who thought being agreeable to everything was being a great employee, to the guy who is now confident enough to stand up for innovation and defend the integrity of everyone’s opinions and motivations. I’m proud of all my accomplishments in adding massive value for my clients, but I’m also proud of all the internal value I’ve been able to give back to my organization with this new found confidence. I run a business analyst round table. I started a Gamification center of excellence. I’ve worked with a colleague to create an Onboarding program from scratch. Thank you all for having confidence in my contributions. A special thanks to Amer Abbas and Dev Mohanty who mentored me along the way and continue to do so. All of the great mentoring skills and care for others during professional interactions that I use today are simply my way of flattering Amer and Dev by using their style.
I’d like to acknowledge Latimer Luis, a bright and talented senior technical trainer. We’ve worked together to generate exceptional Onboarding packages that have vastly improved the level of comfort new employees have in coming aboard into our organization. His ability to see alternate solutions and his care for the opinions and feedback of our new hire classes is truly exemplary. I hope to work together with him many times in the future. | 2019-04-25T15:56:04Z | http://www.biztalkradioshow.com/2015/03/19/russo/ |
It’s clear there is a seismic shift happening in retail right now. Once steadfast department stores and high-profile retail chains are announcing massive store closures and bankruptcies, while billions of pounds in sales are moving from in store to online. While this evolving retail climate is creating issues for some, many are successfully shifting their strategy in order to meet the needs of consumers; this includes establishing relaxed return policies to remain competitive and, beyond that, implementing ongoing programmes to effectively deal with those returns. | 2019-04-26T16:28:18Z | https://bstock.com/blog/how-independent-retailers-can-remain-competitive-on-returns/ |

This weekend I know I'm missing several things that many of my friends are going to - and I am using the word "missing" both to mean I won't be present at the events and that I feel I'm missing out.
Firstly, a lot of my friends are at a weekend-long murder mystery game at a hotel. There are many reasons I decided not to go to that one - money being one of them. But of course I have regrets. I am sure my friends are having a wonderful time and it would be lovely to be there with them.
Secondly, I am missing two full moon rites to honour the moon with two different groups of lovely witchy friends. Again there were some practical reasons for my decision, but again I have some regrets. I have decided to do a solitary ritual at home myself instead, but it is different from working in a group or coven.
Thirdly, I am missing out on the launch party at Treadwell's for the book Doreen Valiente: Witch. That is probably the event I have most regrets about missing. The main reason I'm not going to be there this afternoon is mainly because I didn't book a ticket early enough. At the time I thought I would be at a ritual that clashed - one of the rituals mentioned above. As it happens, I also need to spend a several hours today writing blog posts - including my review of Philip Heselton's wonderful new biography of the mother of modern witchcraft.
I was very kindly sent a review copy of the book a couple of months ago by John Belham-Payne, whose tragic and sudden death last week shocked the pagan community. However., John wrote to tell me that there was an embargo on posting reviews of the book until the official publication date of 22 February 2016 - the day after the launch party. Although I started reading the book as soon as I got it, I'm sorry to say that I've left actually writing the review until the last minute. If I had been a bit less tardy I might have had time to at least drop in briefly to the launch party!
But it is pointless having regrets about things. While I'm not someone who subscribes to the idea that absolutely everything happens for a reason, I do try to trust that eventually everything will turn out for the best.
Having finished writing this blog post for today, I am going to now make myself a nice big cup of tea and settle down to a day of more blogging and an evening of privately honouring the moon. And I am going to try to put those regrets and thoughts that I am missing out behind me.
Note: February's full moon is at 6.20pm UTC on February 22 but many pagans celebrate the full moon during the nearest weekend. | 2019-04-19T19:27:16Z | http://www.badwitch.co.uk/2016/02/trusting-that-all-things-will-turn-out.html |

Music post alert! I’m BEAT (woohoo music terminology!) after spending the whole day at the library and cooking dinner for my housemates, but I’ve been wanting to post some music-related things for a while so.. tired or not, here I go!
First up: my new loves! These Urbanears Plattan headphones in the newest denim edition are my new best friends. Seriously, I don’t even know how I managed to get on with my life before I had these?! There’ve been countless occasions on which muting out the rest of the world would have been the answer. Take train rides for example. I take the train a lot, and somehow the most annoying and talkative people always seem to find me – even though I try my very best to look unfriendly, uninterested, unwelcoming and whatnot.
Picture me last Sunday, sitting in an empty wagon waiting for the train to leave the station, accompanied by a big pile of study books and my don’t-bother-me-face. Whaddayaknow, random long-legged dude decides to sit right across from me. No problem just yet, trains are for everyone. But then the guy starts talking, even after my ostentatious syllabi-flipping and flagrant exam-face. Now this is where these headphones would come in handy! Sorry long-legged dude, can’t hear you, listening to music *points at headphones*. YES! Or the numerous days I spent at the uni library, distracted by the sharp whispering voices of girls discussing their boyfriends, new diet and favourite Kardashian sister.
I wanted to share some of the things I’ve been listening to repeatedly on my iPhone, which is mostly calm/laid-back music, perfect in between study-sessions. Singing along is optional, dancing is mandatory. Oh and please do share your favourite songs of the moment!

One way in the past has been making it easier for students to actively use their own reusable water bottles by installing filling stations around campus. Encouraging students to bring their own containers for food and drink has been an ongoing goal for the U of W.
Joseph Wasylycia-Leis, the campus sustainability co-ordinator at U of W says there are continual efforts from the sustainability office to increase staff, faculty and student engagement.
“There certainly is a need for making it as easy as possible for students to bring containers from home and to avoid food waste packaging,” he says. Wasylycia-Leis offers an alternative idea to having food container washing stations around campus.
Wasylycia-Leis says installing washing stations would be an unnecessary change of infrastructure, and that building them would realistically not be in the facility’s budget.
Chantal Roy, a student at the U of W, agrees that washing stations would be unnecessary. Roy brings her own food in reusable glass containers to campus, but usually waits to get home to wash these dishes.
“If I really needed to wash it out before putting it back in my bag, I would just go to the washroom and rinse it in the sink there,” she says.
Roy is interested in some of the other efforts to reduce waste around campus.
“We’re doing some cool things on campus, like the reusable cups by the water fountain that anyone can use in the Riddell cafeteria,” she says.
In addition to the cups, Diversity Food Services offers a reusable container program, Wasylycia-Leis says.
Diversity Food Service’s website encourages students to purchase these $5 containers in support of the campus sustainability objectives.
In further efforts to integrate sustainability awareness in the everyday lives of students and staff, sub-meters have been installed on some buildings to measure levels of water, natural gas and electricity use in different areas of those buildings.
We would love to have more screens like that around campus that show real-time water consumption as a way of reminding people that they are part of a system, and it takes all of us working together to really see improvements on those fronts,” he says. | 2019-04-20T02:51:28Z | http://www.honeyreplicahandbags.com/c21/view/encouraging-students-to-keep-their-campus-green |

Christmas lights are a time-honored holiday tradition for many people, and they bring color and joy to your home during the holidays. However, it can be a difficult task to power everything all at once.
If you’re someone who goes all out with as many lights as possible, has a large area to cover or both, then you’ve probably been getting creative trying to power all your holiday lights and decorations at once. Which usually means more and more extension cords!
The struggle to power your holiday light display is a genuine problem that can stem from one or more issues.
One reason you may be having issues is that you're trying to create a light display across a large area of your yard.
Another issue that you may be facing is trying to power lights on the walls, eaves, and roof of a large house.
Even if you don't have a large yard or house, you may still have a large number of lights you need to power.
If you're struggling with any or all of these issues, then you may have tried to solve these problems by buying more extension cords. In fact, you may be one of the many people who find themselves purchasing one or more extension cords every year during your holiday lights setup because you need more plugs to power your light display. Did you know that stringing together extension cords is a fire hazard?

iOS 10 complications that will preclude you to buy one!
It takes away your time in updating. It seems it takes forever to update, it probably takes around 30 minutes to update 500 MB and not only this, battery drain also is a vital concern now because just in an hour battery discharges from 100% to 50%.
There is a problem in the button used to put their iPhone or iPad to sleep, and to wake it up, isn't working in iOS 10.
When you update to iOS 10 you tend to lose signal and phone stops reconnecting to a network albeit moving to a place where you find signal.
If you've updated to iOS 10 and your iPhone loses signal, you may find that the phone can't reconnect to a network afterwards, even when moving into an area where you know you receive signal. | 2019-04-19T22:20:52Z | http://www.ciobulletin.com/ios-10-complications-that-will-preclude-you-to-buy-one |

I had a hard time finding my pet in our 30 acres, this systems gives me the security of knowing my pet is safe.
Perfect system for my Pit.
My pit and I just relocated and are lucky to have gained a lot more land for him to run on. I noticed that he liked to explore his new area but was uncomfortable with the thought of him leaving me forever or getting lost. Happy I purchased this package and will be able to keep him near but still have plenty of room. This system is good for up to 100 acres I believe, but I only have 25 so it offers plenty of coverage.
I hired a small crew through a local labor finder and had my system installed in less then 8 hours and was training my dog that day. He seems to understand exactly what he is supposed to do and not to around those flags. Anyways great system and great quality of product and customer service.
Service I can smile to!
The best in ground fence system is the SportDOG system. The upgrade is worth the extra money.
I've spoken with lots of people, asking for opinions on the in ground fence systems that are out there, and what their experiences were.
My friend Mike, told me about the company Flexpetz, which sells these type of fence systems online. I looked at their website, and was very pleased at how easy it is to navigate and locate the items you are looking for.
I selected the Pro Grade version of the SportDOG fence (it also comes in a regular factory package). I liked the fact that the Pro Grade comes with much better wire, and will allow me to send the transmitter and collar back, in exchange for something with stronger corrections, if it's needed within the first year.
The fence was easy enough to setup. It took a few weekend hours to cover an acre. After it was setup, I used the test tool to walk the perimeter and make sure the collar is functioning properly. No issues.
The collar runs on a 9 volt battery, so I don't have to get online or go hunting down a proprietary replacement when it runs low.
All in all, the SportDOG Pro Grade fence is a very good, robust dog fence system. I am very happy with the system and look forward to many many years of solid performance.
Thanks to Flexpetz and everyone who played a part in my decision and purchase.
We purchased this system awhile ago for our property in Georgia. We like to take our dogs hunting with us and also love that they can roam freely around our property, knowing that they wont try to leave. They tend to be kind of curious but this system works on keeping them around.
We love the outdoors and like to get away to stress free getaways. Knowing that I wont have to go find a dog in the next area code is helpful. The dogs have fun, we take it easy and all of us win. Thanks to the support we received from FlexPetz's customer service. They were able to walk us through how to "tweak" our system to our needs. This Pro-Grade package was definitely worth the extra money for the added benefits... So worth it.
When I started looking at different fence options, I was doing a Google search for different manufacturers and models, when I ran across the Pro Grade SportDOG fence, that Flexpetz.com sells.
I've worked briefly with SportDOG's training systems and liked their product at that time. Needless to say, when we saw SportDOG made a fence system too -I had to give it a look see.
I spoke to Davin, at Flexpetz, and he was very helpful in telling us all about the features of the fence. We told him about our landscape and he told us about the things we need to be wary of with this type of fence system.
I placed my order without hesitation.
The system arrived at my home within 3 days and the fence was setup this past weekend.
I'm really happy with the fence, but more happy with the help that I got from Davin and Flexpetz.
I would recommend this fence to anyone.
The SportDOG fence in pro grade is a fantastic system, especially when paired with the barriers for indoors.
The SportDOG professional grade fence came up in a Google search. I'd seen the non-pro grade version at a few different websites. However, Flexpetz is the only company I saw that had this pro grade package. This is the upgraded version of the fence and came with much stronger wire, longer warranty, and some other nice features that the factory fence does not have.
I thought that would be the better deal, because it will last longer without the need to repair or replace any wire. Also, I know someone who's purchased from Flexpetz before, and they were very happy with the level of service they were presented with.
We also decided to get some of the indoor barriers, which work nicely with the same collars that come with the SportDOG fence.
The whole setup works perfectly, and we're very happy with it. We also are very appreciative to Flexpetz.com for the help and courteous words they had to share with us.
We rate our experience an A+.
I called just a few minutes ago to get some support on installation of my fence. I am impressed with the service provided and would recommend anyone having any questions to go ahead and ask for Johnny. I am sure all the other staff is probably just as great, but Johnny has one heck of a personality and made my experience pretty amusing and fun. This system was not all that difficult to install it was just the main start I was having a blond moment with. Still, very easy. I was able to install this fence in approximately 3 hours total. Now I am off to train my hyper Golden Retriever. I just wanted to throw a good one up as a good reference!
Flexpetz is really top grade when it comes to the wire driven shock fence systems. Daven was the rep I spoke to, in some length, about what the best system would be. He really was helpful and able to help me land on the Sportdog Pro Brand fence, with enough wire to cover all 6 acres. I didn't do the installation above ground, so I didn't need the staples that come with the system. I did use the splice kits to connect the paired wire to the perimeter wire. I also thought that running the wire through some garden hose (under a gravel driveway) would help protect it.
A trencher took care of the wire work for me. Piece of cake.
I would recommend using Flexpetz' staff to help you pick the best fence for you, but if you end up on the Sportdog Pro Brand, you'll be doing pretty good.
I would grade this Sportdog pro fence as a very high thumb up.
I am not the kind of customers who does reviews every day. I did want to throw my two cents in on the Sportdog pro fence package that is sold here on Flexpetz.
My idea of man's best friend happens to be a nice akita. She's beautiful, but a big girl.
The Sportdog fence is a stronger fence than the regular PetSafe in-ground system. That is the first one I looked at. I do know about PetSafe products, a bit, but the Flexpetz staff told me that the Sportdog is actually a PetSafe product.
We discussed the benefits of going with the Sportdog fence pro package, over the fence I originally wanted.
I'm glad I had their expertise to lead me into the right direction. I am now very happy with my investment and found that it is quite an easy installation to complete.
I am considering an indoor barrier now, as I was told that they work with the same collar as the Sportdog system comes with. I'm very happy and going to remain a Flexpetz customer.
Best fence for a mix of dog breeds. From small to large, all are covered.
I really chose this fence because of the ability to add all the different Petsafe collars to the fence, and all of them be automatically compatible.
There is a collar for the dachshund, and one for the dane. All have their own correction levels and no special configuring necessary to get them recognized.
I think I can get another of the transmitters and setup a fence zone down at the lake house, and the same collars will work on that system too. I'll have to call the petflex guys to make sure, but if I remember correctly -that would work.
I'm really glad I didn't pay the installer company to setup a system for me. This was really easy.
I could probably even make some extra cash setting up these systems for people.
This fence a good one I like it for a pitt bull to keep him in my yard. Very good for me.
I set this sportdog wire collar fence on for my dog and it work really good. At first I try to get some price from a diffrent company to setup the wire collar for me. But they cost to much and all the friends say I can set up it by myself. I call this company and they dont setup the stuff but they have very good price. Much better.
The wire easy to setup and I figure out the collar level to setup and everything work very good.
Im glad I call this company flexpet and they help me pick out this wire collar. I can come to them again for something else i need next time.
I was surprised to how simple the install was with this system. I was scared to do it by myself so I had my daughter hep me and half way through she left telling me I was good to go it was to simple for her. I did the above ground install and it took almost no time at all to lay it all out and get it up and running. Programming it was easy and it has worked wonderfully for the past week. Wonderful system and I would defiantly recommend!
The Sportdog Containment Fence is an awesome system. Two thumbs up.
I am impressed at the quality of this containment fence. I had another dog fence from another brand, and this fence does an exceptional job in keeping my two dogs contained. The installation was fairly simple and easy to install. I live on about 2 acres and this fence made life much easier by keeping my two dogs away from the neighbors yard. Two thumbs up. This is a great dog fence system.
Do not buy from invisible fence when you have a perfectly good system right here in front of you that you can install and learn all about on your own without their high ticketed prices. Priced out this system for my 10 acre land after my outrageous price from invisible fence. Of course I bought this one! Was a fast shipment and quick installation for literally 1/4th the price I was quoted from the installer. Hands up, I won this one! Simple as that!
We are very happy with this system. After countless attempts with other solutions to keep the hounds out of the horse pastures we came across the SportDOG. This looks and feels a lot better well made than the other brands. Everything I've read online said to use better wire so it was nice to find a site that had these kits already put together. Will definitely be coming back for any other pet needs.
I am a single mother of three wonderful boys who helped me set this fence system up. Even my 6 year old was able to help me out with it and helped me push in the fence staples to the ground. I am glad the option of an above ground install was available and had the heavy duty wire to go along with it. I priced out other fences and even went to my local stores where it was difficult to even find the systems let alone the cheap versions of them. I also called a company to find out how much an install would be and although they did not want to technically price it all over the phone, it was way to deep for my pocket. When I spoke to the guy at this place, he was very helpful in picking out the system. What I liked was that I could also get a few barriers for inside my house that would work with the collar. I have to say this system was great and easy and the boys helped me train and it worked perfectly. I will be recommending this to a few friends that were interested in finding out how it all works. I do know this system would not work with my friends toy dog, but I will still recommend knowing there are other options for her available. Thank you for having this option available for people like me!
SportDOG fence is pretty nice. Good system for multiple dogs.
I like this SportDOG fence. With the add on little dog collar, I'm able to add a pug to the same system and everyone is happy.
The collar that comes with the system works perfectly on a choco lab.
Now if I know I am going to get another dog, I won't have any problem adding it as well.
The wire is very sturdy. I wasn't about to bury the thinner wire, so this was a good piece of the system.
The transmitter seems pretty well made. The collars fit well, the whole thing is easy to setup, and the training wasn't hard at all.
I'm overall very happy with my purchase.
Sport Dog Pro is an excellent system for covering lots of land.
The Flexpetz guy said this system could cover 100 acres of land, but needless to say -there was some skepticism when I heard this.
I read the reviews and decided that the SportDOG Pro system is worth a shot.
There weren't many alternatives out there, for such a large space.
It takes a while, running wire over 73 acres, even with the right equipment.
Luckily, there wasn't a need to go back and locate problems. Worked excellently after the first effort.
The bigger task was setting up that many flags.
Not complaining though. It still cost a fraction of what the installation companies wanted to charge me to set one up.
Everything has been perfect since. I would definitely recommend this system to anyone with lots of land.
Hello, I ordered this system and I need to tell you how great it has been to work with you. I want to say thank you for all of your help in finding me the right system for my dog's. I did not want to pay to much for a system and this system was less then I thought it would be. The installation of the wire was so easy. The work I do for my company is similar to what I needed to do to install the wire. The hook up was easy to do and the collars work really well. The learning process for my dogs was quick and I have not had any problems since the installation. I really needed this and it works just as I wanted. Your company has great service and has great amount of systems to customize to any needs. I have referred you to my neighbors as well as my son who is looking to order within the next week. I will be over there to help him install his system for his four dogs. I did not think there was a system that would work with my dogs and I am impressed that it actually worked.
I talk with mik and he tell me on the sportdog fence for my dobermen. My family live to a farm and we have alot space for the dog to run around. Now he can run alot. Im glad to get help in flexpetz. I could come back to flexpetz and mik and buy other things I could need for me dog.
I thanks those guys for ther help. I feel much better to buy from guys who help me know about the parts like that. They take time for me even though I speak langage well.
Them do great job. I thank them too. | 2019-04-19T11:15:25Z | https://www.flexpetz.com/sportdog-dog-fence-sdf-100a-pro-grade.html |
Throughout history the influence of the full Moon on humans and animals has featured in folklore and myths. Yet it has become increasingly apparent that many organisms really are influenced indirectly and in some cases directly by the lunar cycle. Breeding behaviour among some marine animals has been demonstrated to be controlled by internal circalunar biological clocks to the point where lunar-daily and lunar-monthly patterns of Moon-generated tides are embedded in their genes. Yet intriguingly Moon-related behaviours are also found in dry land and fresh water species living far beyond the influence of any tides. In Moonstruck Ernest Naylor dismisses the myths concerning the influence of the Moon but shows through a range of fascinating examples the remarkable real effects that we are now finding through science. He suggests that since the advent of evolution on Earth which occurred shortly after the formation of the Moon animals evolved adaptations to the lunar cycle and considers whether if Moon-clock genes occur in other animals might they also exist in us? | 2019-04-25T14:06:14Z | http://www.canthostreetfoodtour.com/Tilstr%C3%A6kkelig-forsyning-Moonstruck-How-Lunar-Cycles-Affect-Life-Hardcover-by-Naylor-Ernest-XP4KPrxQ-p-2499.html |
At Wind & Tide, we believe it is important that our students leave Wind & Tide feeling both empowered and responsible to care for our world and others. Woven into the fibre of Wind & Tide's curriculum, our students have the opportunity to focus on two distinct areas of global concern: environmental and humanitarian.
Environmental: This is covered largely through our science programs: Beginner's Biology in our Three-Year-Old Preschool program and World of Wonders in our Four-Year-Old Preschool and Junior Kindergarten programs. Our science curriculum and themes teach our students to recognize and appreciate the wonderful world that God has carefully and marvellously created, and that we all have an important role to play in respecting and maintaining it's beauty and balance.
Humanitarian: Wind & Tide's Going for Goodness program provides our students with the opportunity to intrinsically learn the importance of caring for others - not only their family and peers, but also those living in their community and across the world. This curriculum was designed to provide age-appropriate, teachable moments within the classroom that demonstrate to our students the importance of caring for one another.
We believe that true joy comes from freely giving to others, and is something that can be realized at an early age. To extend our humanitarian efforts beyond the walls of our classrooms, Wind & Tide is proud to have solidified strong partnerships with Union Gospel Mission and WE Charity (formerly Free the Children), which provide our students with unique opportunities to care for others across our world.

The use of 3D (3 Dimensional) Virtual Environments is gaining interest in the context of academic discussions on E-learning technologies, as it provides several advantages over classical learning material. However, the use of 3D for learning environments also has drawbacks, especially usability and the effectiveness may cause problems. One way to overcome these drawbacks is by providing an adaptive3DVirtualLearning Environment (3D VLE), i.e. an environment that dynamically adapts to the learner and the activities that he performs in the environment. However, developing adaptive 3D Virtual Learning Environments is not simple and should be supported.
In this thesis, we discuss adaptive 3D VLEs and explain how a course author can specify (i.e. author) such an environment. The authoring approach that we present allows authors to create adaptive 3D VLEs without the need to be an expert in 3D and without using programming or scripting languages. In particular, the thesis elaborates on the principles used for the authoring approach, as well as on the different aspects that need to be supported, i.e. the pedagogical aspects, the adaptation aspects, and the requirement to support the specification of an adaptive storyline which should be followed by learners.
Consequently, the main objectives of the research work are: (1) to investigate the possible adaptations that can be applied to 3D VLEs, in order to allow adapting a 3D VLE to the learner’s knowledge, skills, and behaviour;and (2) to study how to facilitate the authoring process of adaptive 3D VLE for 3D novice educators.
To achieve these objectives, we first present a generic conceptual modelling framework for this type of systems. In addition to that, a number of adaptation types and strategies are proposed that authors can use for specifying adaptivity in 3D VLEs. Furthermore, the concept of adaptation theme is proposed to ease the specification of consistent adaptations for an adaptive 3D VLE. The research work also proposes visual languages specifically conceived to allow authors to specify adaptivity in 3D VLEs. Namely, the proposed visual languages are the Pedagogical Model Language, the Adaptive Storyline Language, and the Adaptive Topic Language. Each language is used to specify a different aspect of the conceptual modelling framework. Within this research work, we also conducted an evaluation to the proposed visual languages. In particular, the conducted evaluations aimed at validating both usability and acceptability aspects related to the proposed visual languages. Finally, we also propose a prototype of authoring tool for supporting the proposed authoring approach and the visual languages.
The findings presented in the thesis can be applied by software engineers to construct authoring tools for designing adaptive 3D VLEs. In addition, the findings can also be used for further research. | 2019-04-23T15:02:17Z | https://wise.vub.ac.be/thesis/authoring-adaptive-3d-virtual-learning-environments |

Category: Charity work, creative sessions, Event Photography, Pin Up Sessions, special promotions, what's going on this month?
The idea of creating a pin up calendar in the Comox Valley, and using the proceeds to fund local charities that work towards building up young girls’ self-esteem and self-image has been rolling around in my head since I started Gaia Magick over 3 years ago. With 3 young daughters, 2 of which are now entering their teen years, this is a project that is very near to my heart.
I estimate this project will take about 4-6 months to complete, depending on how quickly gorgeous woman like yourself volunteer to have their Pin Up images included in the calendar. I’d love to have the calendar designed, printed, and selling in time for Christmas 2015, but Valentine’s Day 2016 isn’t a bad goal either.
You can help make this project a reality in a number of ways. You can volunteer to have your past Pin Up images (photographed by Gaia Magick Photography) included in the calendar; you just have to sign a new model release. You can sign up for a Complimentary Pin Up shoot for the purpose of the calendar project: you receive the session, a print credit of $50, and one copy of the calendar once it is printed. Or you can spread the word about this project by sharing this blog posts with your friends, family, co-workers, or friendly strangers!
I’m currently researching programs and groups in the Comox Valley that help to build healthy self-esteem and image in young girls. The one group I had in mind a year ago seems to not be running anymore. If you know of a groups or programs please contact me in any of the methods listed below. I’d love your help.
Are you interested in being a Pin Up girl? Ever wanted to have your picture on a calendar? Are you ready to have some bold gorgeous fun while helping young girls to feel more confident about themselves? Do you need a little more information about the calendar campaign, please contact me. I’d love to chat with you!
Hi Katherine! It’s very nice to hear from you. I’m so excited that you want to help with my pin up calendar project. Are you interested in having another pin up session or would you like to sign a release for your Greek pin up images from last time, or both?!
I will get in touch with you soon, would you prefer me to email or phone you? Can’t wait to work with you! | 2019-04-19T23:18:35Z | https://gaiaphotography.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/be-a-pin-up-girl-lend-a-hand-in-helping-young-girls-have-better-self-images/ |
How You Can Depend On the Holy Spirit to Help and Direct you in All Your Ways.
God created you to depend on Him, to Live in reliance upon and dependence on His Holy Spirit and to Guide you in the direction you should go in ALL the affairs of life.
Trying to live in this world in your own strength is forgetting, that you live in the world's where the unforeseen forces of darkness, the principalities and powers mights and dominion are working against you. For your wrestle is not against flesh and blood, but the enemy distracts you, and even blinds you to their work around.
So how do you live a life in a world where the invisible is more powerful than the visible?
So, Put on God's whole armor, the armor which God supplies through His Spirit Living within you, that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
The Holy Spirit Himself Divinely Persuades You, He Testifies together with your own spirit, directing and assuring you as a child of God.
Walk and live habitually in the Holy Spirit, responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh of human nature without God.
To walk in the Spirit is to make the Spirit of God the rule your behavior, action, attitudes, and motives, which requires Him Divinely Persuading in All the Affairs of Life. The Holy Spirit is your Helper, He Who Lights your path, Who Guides you in all truth, and you depend upon His Grace and Strength for Assistance throughout the Whole of Your Walk in Conversation, Relying on the Exercise of His Grace and the Love of God, to Produce His Fruits and Gifts in You Need for Every Situation and Circumstance of Life. | 2019-04-23T22:01:50Z | https://es_es.spreaker.com/user/godonly/how-you-can-depend-on-the-holy-spirit-to_1 |
Just sitting down with my coffee, 1/2 hour before gym time. Looking for something to read, thanks!
That was a great read -- and perfect for the season. Merry Christmas, to you, too, Mr. Moser.
That was cool, might make a neat short film.
Here's a link to some pics I took of the old gyms passing through York last summer.
Last edited by johnreynolds; 12-22-2010 at 10:46 AM.
In the one picture you mention the Hoffman Lab to the side of the building. It was actually called Eastern Labs. I found a file folder which had the makings of an advertising campaign in which Hoffman said all his products were independently tested by Eastern Labs. I guess they forgot to mention that Eastern Labs was owned by Hoffman. I walked through the lab a couple times. It looked like at some point it was an actual working lab as it was loaded with equipment. Everything was extremely dusty and cob webs were everywhere. Looked like something straight out of a horror movie. Thank you for posting the photo's, they brought back some great memories.
Glad you enjoyed the pics Jim. As far as the Lab testing, Bob was known to stretch the truth now and then.
When I was passing through York a few years ago I planned on looking for the old gym on Broad St. I knew it was on Braod St but not the exact address. Due to my usual lack of preparation I never looked up the address, naively assuming there would be historic markers in front, being it was one of the most famous gyms in the country. As I was riding up and down Broad St I didn't seeing any signs so I stopped and asked some locals where the famous original York gym was located. Nobody knew what I was talking about. Being the neighborhood didn't look all that nice anymore I decided to get the hell outta Dodge. Time moves on. | 2019-04-19T12:34:56Z | https://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/general-q-and-a/20774-search-factor-york-barbell.html |
This method is used in young children generally under age 3 years.
Place the canister "tail-up" with its mouthpiece in the rubber opening of the spacer device.
Place the mask of the spacer over the mouth and nose of your child, making a good seal.
Press down on the canister, releasing a puff of medication into the spacer.
Hold the mask in place until your child has taken at least 6 breaths, as seen from movements of a "window" on the mask.
Using inhalers properly is not always easy but can help your child enjoy successful treatment at home and less frequent trips to the hospital.
If despite your best efforts with inhaled medications your child's asthma is not well controlled or worsens, seek medical attention immediately!
Rinse your device with warm water weekly and let it dry in room air.
If the flap valve is torn or not working properly, your device should be replaced.
The spacer should always be kept in its plastic container when not in use. | 2019-04-23T16:26:36Z | http://www.drpaul.com/asthma/asthmadev3.php |

22 May 2017, Shenzhen, China – ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, today announced that with the highest score in comprehensive assessment ZTE was rated No.1 in China Mobile’s New Packet Transport Network (PTN) Procurement Project.
This latest win, which follows those achieved at China Mobile PTN Procurement last time, further consolidates ZTE’s leading position in the PTN industry. With only 2 vacancies on the shortlist, China Mobile this time allows the vendor ranking top in the procurement to get more than 70 percent allocation in the project, and the other vendor to obtain no more than 30 percent.
The success in the procurement not only shows the industry-leading technologies of ZTE PTN devices and SPTN controllers, but also demonstrates China Mobile’s exceptional farsightedness and practicability in drawing its technology roadmaps.
As software-defined networks (SDN) are destined to be hotspot communications network technologies in the future, China Mobile also arranged SDN-based tests in terms of SPT controllers and centralized operation and management centers (OMC) during the procurement. With profound understanding and years of accumulation in the SDN field, ZTE SPTN controller impacts the entire industry by showing exemplary performance and providing brilliant solutions to make centralized intelligent control, high resource utilization, flexible service scheduling and smooth network evolution come true in the tests.
Due to the development of the transport network and technologies, China Mobile has started researching the 5G system and building pilot trials. Being an active member in facilitating 5G transport and the development of entire industry chain, ZTE launched its 5G Flexhaul solution at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in Barcelona to help global operators build future-oriented, flexible, efficient and unified 5G transport networks. As a world-class PTN/SPTN solution supplier, ZTE is capable of providing powerful support and guarantees for China Mobile’s network evolution and deployment. ZTE is also willing to work together with China Mobile to build excellent transport networks and start a brand-new 5G transport era. | 2019-04-24T12:01:54Z | https://www.telecomtv.com/content/tracker/zte-wins-more-than-70-allocation-in-new-china-mobile-ptn-project-26960/ |
ACCORDING to new research by Fortinet, 91% of Asia Pacific CIOs and CTOs (chief information and technology officers) believe the job of keeping their enterprise protected is becoming more challenging.
Serious boardroom pressure to keep the enterprise secure has jumped almost one-third in the last 12 months, making security paramount and a primary consideration over other business initiatives, the company said in a statement.
This and other findings come from an independent survey commissioned by Fortinet on 504 enterprise IT decision makers (ITDMs) in the Asia Pacific countries of Australia, China, India, Japan and South Korea.
This was part of a bigger survey of over 1,600 ITDMs, largely from 500+ employee organisations, around the world, Fortinet said.
Among ITDMs recording the highest boardroom pressure, 63% admit abandoning or delaying at least one new business initiative because of IT security concerns.
The increasing frequency and complexity of threats (87%) and the new demands of emerging technology like the Internet of Things (IoT) and biometrics (85%) pose the biggest challenge to ITDMs to keep their organisations secure.
The majority of ITDMs have been provoked into action by rising data privacy concerns (89%) and securing big data initiatives (89%); in the majority of cases this means new IT security investment.
The growing awareness of IT security within the boardroom – and its resulting pressure and involvement – was cited as a major contributor to making the IT security job more difficult, with three-quarters rating awareness of senior management as ‘high’ or ‘very high’ today, up from barely 51% one year ago.
The survey also unveils that a total of 54% of all Asia Pacific ITDMs surveyed have slowed down or cancelled a new application, service or other initiative because of cyber-security fears.
The figure is 63% among those reporting a very high level of boardroom pressure and scrutiny around IT security.
Mobility-related applications and strategies are the biggest sticking points, with cloud also scoring high.
The rising volume/ complexity of APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats), DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks and other cyber-threats, and the demands of emerging technology trends like IoT and biometrics, are the most prevalent drivers making ITDMs’ jobs more challenging.
There is a big expectation across industry sectors for biometrics to arrive very soon, with 40% of Asia Pacific ITDMs claiming the technology has already landed or will do so in the next 12 months. Sixty-two percent say they already have the tools to ensure it can be managed securely.
Of the 38% that doesn’t feel prepared today, 43% believe they will struggle to secure biometrics in the future as well.
The high profile issues surrounding data privacy are provoking action, with 89% of Asia Pacific ITDMs planning to change their outlook on IT security strategy in response.
Of these, 56% are inclined to invest more money and resources to address the challenge, with 44% preferring instead to rethink existing strategy.
Meanwhile big data and data analytics were cited by 89% of respondents as a change driver for IT security strategy, with 49% of the respondents planning investments.
Industry sectors with the highest predisposition to invest in IT security were FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) at 61% and Retail at 59%.
The research also indicated organisations of greater size have the greater tendency to invest.
When asked if they had been provided with sufficient human and financial resources for IT security in the last 12 months, 77% of Asia Pacific ITDMs said ‘yes.’ A total of 80% feel they will also have sufficient resources in the next 12 months.
“With IT security on the boardroom agenda, this and other challenges are clearly adding weight onto the shoulders of senior IT professionals and questioning the ability of some organisations to exploit innovation while remaining secure,” said John Maddison, vice president of product marketing at Fortinet.
“These organisations must act now to address the impact of the growing threat environment and increased scrutiny on IT security, re-evaluating their goals to ensure they strike the right balance and achieve resilience in the face of cyber-threats.
“The good news is that many are positive and feeling well equipped with human and financial resources for the IT security challenges that lie ahead.
“However, to do so points toward intelligent new strategies and more investment in security technologies,” he added. | 2019-04-20T06:27:33Z | https://www.digitalnewsasia.com/security/it-leaders-on-the-harsh-reality-of-cyber-protection |

There is absolutely no respite from the hot sultry weather that we are experiencing since the past two weeks. Looking forward for some light showers with cool weather. Meanwhile, I have been relishing some refreshing desserts using ripe mango before the mango season ends. One of the easy desserts that I made was mango kulfi recipe. Ever since I have posted the kulfi recipe, I have received requests for recipe of mango kulfi. I made it slightly different from the authentic style kulfi which calls for boiling the milk over slow flame for a long duration of time. I decided on a short cut method and followed an easy mango kulfi recipe with condensed milk and fresh mango pulp.
An absolutely no cook mango kulfi recipe with minimal ingredients that you can prepare in less than 15 mts. You can put your ripe mangoes to full use by making a batch of mango kulfi to beat the heat. Inspite of going the quick or instant way, the result is amazingly good using condensed milk and cream. It has a rich and creamy texture with an unbeatable flavor. Utterly delicious Indian style ice cream that makes for a fantastic dessert to beat the heat.
Place chilled cream in a bowl and beat for 4 mts. Place in fridge till use.
In a bowl, add condensed milk, mango puree and cardamom powder and beat for 2 mts till well combined. Add the beaten chilled cream and mix well till combined.
Fold in the nuts and pour the mixture into kulfi molds till 3/4th full. Seal the molds and freeze for at least 5-6 hours.
At the time of serving, place molds under tap water for a few seconds so that it releases easily from the mold. Insert sticks into each kulfi and serve.
You can add 1/2 cup of reduced milk or evaporated milk to the above mixture at Step 2 and mix.
You can use popsicle molds or earthen pots/matkas to set the mango kulfi.
You can use whipping cream if you do not have fresh cream on hand. Remember to chill fresh cream before beating it.

Finance chiefs from leading economic countries ended a weekend meeting Sunday, saying they made some headway on wiping out the debt for the poorest countries. But they failed to reach an agreement.
The finance ministers from the Group of Seven countries and the policy-making body of the International Monetary Funds warned the rise in oil prices poses a risk for world economies, but stressed the current economic outlook looks good.
But at Sunday's meeting, South African finance minister Trevor Manuel called attention to the need for rich countries to boost the flow of resources to the poorest. He said the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set five years ago can not be achieved without new money. So you've got to push the boundaries because the funding deficit in respect to the MDGs-as well as growing the productive side of very poor economies, that deficit is huge. So you're not going to do it on current resources. So additionality (of money) is the first principle," he said.
The millennium development goals call for a 50 percent reduction in global poverty by 2015. Because of stunning progress in reducing poverty in China and India, the World Bank is optimistic that the millennium targets can be met. Over 300 million people in China and India have advanced beyond extreme poverty in the past decade.
The meeting made some progress in resolving technical differences over writing off the debt of the poorest African countries. But the finance chiefs did not iron out the difference between separate proposals from the United States and Britain on how pay for it.
The finance ministers from the world's seven richest countries agreed the global financial system is out of balance and policies must be adopted to prevent what they called an abrupt market correction.
But the U.S. government, whose huge budget deficit is seen as one of the main reasons for the financial imbalance, revealed no new plans to balance the budget.
China, under pressure for refusing to revalue its currency, did not participate in the Washington meeting of the group of seven. | 2019-04-25T11:00:12Z | https://www.voanews.com/a/a-13-2005-04-17-voa28-67384437/382706.html |
