The portrait features a mature woman looking straight forward; the face is characterized by wide eyes, hooked nose, tight lips and a receding chin.
The hair is arranged in a high crown of curls framing the forehead and is tied back in a number of tiny braids fastened in a bundle on the neck. The head is surmounted by a diadem, an ornament which is usually associated with members of the imperial family. It has been suggested, though not convincingly, that the portrait may be referred to Domitia, the sister of the emperor Hadrian.
The coiffure and the lack of drill-holes in the hair, however, date the portrait to the early 2nd century AD, the age of the emperor Trajan.

Well, what if you want the search you make to automatically become part of the URL so that if you bookmark the search or copy the URL to someone else, the search is still there? It would be really practical. Granted, it's not always that you want this but that's something you can decide.
AngularJS 1.2 (I think) introduced the ability to set reloadOnSearch: false on a route provider and that means that you can do things like $location.hash('something') without it triggering the route provider to re-map the URL and re-start the revelant controller.
So here's a good example of (ab)using that to do a search filter which automatically updates the URL.
This works in HTML5 mode too if you're wondering.
And something like this to "unparse" the params.

A lot of fanciers make the mistake of focusing solely on the physical attributes of a racing pigeon when it comes to choosing which one to enlist in the actual competitions. While it cannot be denied that physical features such as gait and wing muscle strength play a big factor in becoming a winner, attention should also be placed on the mental ability of a pigeon as early as an age of 3 months. More often than not, it is the mental faculties of your racing pigeon that will ultimately help you win the big prizes especially in competitions that involve long flights.
Take into consideration the fact that pigeons rely on their internal compass, navigational skills and homing instinct in order to fly to a designated point at the shortest route possible. You may have the fastest pigeon in a race, but it won't really matter if it doesn't fly in a straight line towards its goal. The more intelligent pigeons can orient themselves really well to any given location and have an innate feel of its coordinates.
These types of pigeons can be found by looking for bloodlines that can fly at very long distances. Young ones can fly at a distance of 300-350 miles while yearlings can fly up to 500 miles. These progenies are able to benefit from the genes of their parents whose long flights have helped them develop their intelligence as long distance flyers. The ability to stay in flight for long hours has provided them opportunities in developing their decision-making skills in times of fatigue. These birds also have extensive experience in dealing with any type of weather, which should be beneficial given the fact that the weather can be unpredictable at times.
This is why pigeons that are competitive in short races don't necessary become winners when joining long ones. Not having the experience to brave the hazards of long flights, these pigeons didn't get to hone their heart, intelligence and stamina. Most importantly, their homing instincts are too undeveloped to be able to spot the shortest route; these pigeons also tend to lose their way easily. As a result, short distance racers quit at the slightest provocation.
Keeping the pigeons healthy is also very important and that is why physical conditioning should always be administered the moment a young pigeon learns to fly in order to develop strength, stamina and recovery time. This means having them fly consecutive weeks at a distance of 200-350 miles. The moment you spot a pigeon that easily give up after a few weeks, no matter how fast it is, is the time to judge that bird as incapable of winning any race competitions.
Always keep in mind that heredity plays a big factor in determining a winner. While it doesn't guarantee that a super pigeon will have competitive offspring, it sure does increase its chances. This is small-scale evolution doing its own work, and we might as well work with nature to find success in the sport.
It is important that you verify the accuracy of the information tagged to a pigeon before making any purchases. Lastly, make sure to have a holistic approach in picking the right racing pigeon. If you take stock of a pigeon's mental faculties as well as its physical ones, you just might be on your way to raising a champion.

Having recently been purchased by Fireside Lodge we are expecting a few changes to make the sets even more inviting.

Most of the bedding ensembles include a wool blend that is at times machine washable on cold. If you purchase a set with leather or other non-washable trim please check for cleaning instructions.

This is a team competition for undergraduates studying in Malaysian universities or colleges. The competition challenges teams to showcase their critical thinking and business acumen by presenting a solution to rebuild trust in business.
An employee-turned-whistleblower reveals that a sales agency was deliberately paying its female staff less commission than its male salespeople. When confronted by the media, the CEO states that this was a sound business decision as male employees generally win more sales because the general public takes men more seriously.
Form a team of three. Put on your crisis management team hat. Tell us how you would solve this issue, and rebuild trust with your stakeholders - employees, investors, suppliers and customers. See the full submission requirements in the Challenge Terms & Conditions below.
The final round with the top 10 teams presenting their final solutions – to our panel of judges.
If you're an undergraduate in any field of study at a university or college in Malaysia - you can participate.
*Don't forget to read the Challenge Terms & Conditions!

Workshop with artist Vianna Szabo. The goal of gesture painting is to capture an impression of the model in a specific light. In this workshop, portraits are painted in under an hour and focus on form and light, leaving out unnecessary details. Students will come away with a greater understanding of facial structure, brushwork, color mixing and harmonies.

As you know, APHIS recently began restricting imports of certain fruits and vegetables from the Dominican Republic into the U.S. to prevent the introduction of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly). Additionally, overland in-bond transit movements of these materials have been prohibited south of 39° latitude. While the USDA is working with Dominican Republic authorities in every way possible to reduce the risk, the process will take time. Read the full announcement here, including the list of perishables impacted.
· Shipping to Canada through seaports or airports north of the 39° latitude, including the Port of Baltimore, MD.Note that this option requires a special transit permit to do so.
· Frozen fruits and vegetables (20°F or below upon arrival)are permissible into the U.S. or Canada only with a Frozen Fruit and Vegetable permit.
Perishables shipped without the proper permits will not be allowed to enter the U.S., and many carriers may refuse the cargo. Customized Brokers is specialized in helping customers obtain the proper permits and understand these regulations to reduce the chance of delays during importation.
We are committed to your success. Contact us today to get started.

VSAM Structure contains below four major parts.
Every system that uses VSAM has one and only one master catalog.
The master catalog contains entries about system datasets and VSAM structures.
All the users of the system will be allowed to catalog datasets in user catalogs created.
The master catalog is created during the System Generation process and normally resides on the System Residence volume.
The master catalog "owns" all other VSAM resources in a computer system.
A user catalog is created to contain entries of application specific datasets.
The user catalog defining information is stored into catalog entry in the master catalog.
A data space must be created, before VSAM clusters can be created on a volume.
A data space is an area of the direct access storage device that is exclusively allocated for VSAM use.
That is, the area occupied by the data space is recorded in the Volume Table of Contents (VTOC) of the volume as allocated to a dataset, so that the space will not be available for allocation to any other use, either VSAM or non-VSAM.
Actually, when either the master catalog or a user catalog is defined, VSAM creates a data space to hold the user catalog entries, allocating the amount of space specified for the user catalog from the space available on the volume as a data space which will be completely allocated to the catalog..
The name of the files that are recorded in the VTOC for space allocated to catalogs and data spaces is generated by VSAM. However, they can be easily recognized for what they contain from the high level qualifier of the generated name. For catalogs (both master and user), the high level qualifier is Z9999992. For data spaces, the high level qualifier is Z9999994.
VSAM dataset which we have seen in detail in our earlier section when defined logically takes up the form as a VSAM cluster.
Before proceeding to see about VSAM cluster it is very important to know primarily what a cluster is.
A cluster nothing but a association of the index, sequence set and data portions of the dataset.
The operating system takes the responsibility of giving program access to the cluster by which access to given to all parts of the dataset simultaneously.
The space occupied by a VSAM cluster is divided into contiguous areas called control intervals (CI) and about this concept we have seen in detail in our earlier section.
Data Component of VSAM Cluster: Data records are present in the data component of a VSAM cluster.
Index Component of VSAM Cluster: Index records are present in the index component of a VSAM key-sequenced cluster.

RE: The tariff classification of a portable satphone from England.
In your letter dated September 25, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Globecomm Systems Inc.
The subject item is described as a portable satphone with ISDN data services. It is a satellite terminal that transmits at frequencies 1626.5-1660.5 MHz and receives at 1525-1559 MHz. The satphone is an aeronautical satellite system that provides the user with simultaneous, independent communications able to transmit and receive at the same time. It is used to communicate via telephone and modem and has full Inmarsat 8 service support. This system provides a digital link between an Earth Station and a International Maritime via radio waves.
The satphone weighs 13.5 kg and fits in a carry bag that is easily carried. It sets up fast to make calls within a few minutes. The plug-in data interfaces accommodate most popular 56/64 Kbps applications and user hardware. Its versatile capabilities include voice, FAX, Data, Video Conferencing, Broadcast Video, Secure Communications and Remote Monitoring. Some of these applications will require optional equipment.
The applicable subheading for the portable satphone will be 8525.20.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for [t]ransmission apparatus for radiotelephony, radiotelegraphy, radiobroadcasting, or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus: [o]ther: [o]ther.

All hypnosis is really self-hypnosis. Even when you are being hypnotized by a hypnotherapist is it you who decides to allow yourself to relax, let go and focus on what you want during each hypnosis session.
Hypnosis is a natural state characterized by increased mental, emotional and physical relaxation and comfort.
Hypnotherapists use pleasant visualizations and suggestions that activate the imagination and bring about an altered state of consciousness, also known as a trance.
People who are hypnotized are not asleep. They are are actually very aware, internally focused, detached from everyday experiences and responsive to exploring new possibilities.
Will I lose control or say or do something I don’t want to during a hypnosis session?
Some people are afraid they will do something silly and embarrassing because they have seen people bark like dogs or quack like ducks during stage hypnosis entertainment shows. People who choose to participate in stage shows do so because they think it is fun.
Some people fear hypnosis because they think they will reveal their deepest dark secrets and not remember. You will remember everything you need to remember. You remain aware of what is being said to you and by you.
Hypnosis is something that you allow to happen – that you want to have happen. All hypnosis is basically self hypnosis, you remain in a hypnotic state because you want to and could bring yourself back to everyday awareness by just opening your eyes.
At the beginning of our first meeting we will talk about any concerns or misconceptions you might have about hypnosis so you feel absolutely comfortable before we begin. We will use your concerns and goals as our map.
During Hypnosis the analytical side of the brain becomes less dominant and the more instinctive/emotional side is activated through relaxation and pleasant visualizations. The instinctual aspect of the brain is involved with dreaming, breathing, walking, talking and all functions that occur without our having to think about doing them.
When you consciously want to change a behavior but find it difficult to impossible it is often because the instinctive aspect believes it is not in your best interest. The cooperation of the instinctive aspect of the mind is necessary to change behavior.
Thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs affect your whole body including your nervous and immune systems. When we experience prolonged stress or tension we are more at risk for becoming unwell. Research shows that hypnosis can help decrease the fight or flight response and the symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, helplessness, trauma, loss, and grief. Hypnosis helps increase relaxation, self control, confidence, creative insights, sense of purpose, successful outcomes and improve the quality of life.
You can be in a state of hypnosis and not be aware of it. You can find yourself hypnotized while watching television driving a vehicle, working on the computer, reading, listening to music and an wide assortment of other activities.
You don’t need the help of a hypnotist to go into a hypnotic state, you can do it yourself. Hypnotherapists help guide and manage the hypnotic state to obtain the greatest benefits for you. It is generally accepted that all hypnosis is self hypnosis. A hypnotherapist merely facilitates your experience to help you get in touch with your own inner clarity and personal power.

‘Broken Spaces’ features works by Christiane Feser, Benjamin Houlihan, Harald Klingelhöller, Charlotte Posenenske, Christine Rusche and Tatiana Trouvé. The exhibition, curated by Ludwig Seyfarth, presents current and recent works featuring play with projected, folded, and broken planes and spaces, where the boundary between two- and three-dimensionality is as ambivalent as that between object and space.
Kurz Gestaltung created the exhibition design at KAI 10 | Arthena Foundation, Dusseldorf with invitations, posters, visitors’ guide, online and printed ads. We also designed the catalogue accompanying the show (softcover, 80 pp), with essays by Marion Eisele, Julia Schleis and Ludwig Seyfarth. Published by Kerber Verlag, 2015.

The online world today finds its value in two aspects: advertising and connection. These two factors are definitely the main reason why the internet remains alive today. People either figure out how to buy stuff through the internet or they talk to other individuals. Connection requires special media.
Before visiting forums, read the good bookmaker list as well as the real-world betting tips at GertGambell.net, Gert has been kicked out from +100 bookmakers due to his winnings and knows which one are honest.
1) Expression – many people go to horse racing forums to be able to express their various emotions regarding horse racing. In the horse racing forum, a person can share his dreams of winning, the sweet sense of success as well as the bitter agony of defeat. Yes, a horse racing forum can help people share what they feel. In the end, isn’t that what communication is all about?
Why is it so important that people visit horse racing forums to be able to express themselves? To begin with, the conventions of society today prevent us from actually expressing our selves the way that we want to. In past times, a person could talk about the unfairness of gambling in public and also have people listen to him. Nowadays, the best thing you can hope for is that your friends won’t find you crazy. The worst thing involves prison and some very undesirable cellmates.
2) Discussion – obviously, expression can refer exclusively to you having other individuals listen to your opinions. However, horse racing forums also let people discuss certain subjects. This means that people are in a position to react to what other people have to convey. You can read about the opinions of others and share your thoughts on those. It is possible to interact with others who share a similar passion as you do. If you use an application like BetAngel and bet at betfair.com, you can discuss strategies.
This is one more reason why horse racing forums are crucial. Sure, you know that you are not alone with your affinity for horse racing. Other people love the sport just as much as you do. However, it is often the case that the folks who you are able to speak with daily along with whom you regularly interact usually do not share exactly the same passion that you do. This is often frustrating. By visiting a horse racing forum, you will be capable of finding someone with similar level of commitment which you have for horse racing.
3) Information – many people who visit online forums do so in order to gather, share, or exchange information. When you ponder over it, all the talking done in forums is actually free exchange of information. To be more specific, however, some people go to horse racing forums in order to figure out how to improve in the sport. They either get tips in betting, training, or riding. This can be very essential for those who don’t have an inside scoop about the race track.
Horse racing forums can assist people in a lot of ways. People that go to horse racing forums do this in order to get an insight on minds of other folks. Collectively, we may know a lot. Individually however, we have a tiny part of the knowledge available.

Classic varieties that have a reputation of producing fine wines in established countries/regions tend to show faster adoption than obscure varieties.
Matching the variety to the most appropriate site is key to ensure the highest potential wine quality is achieved.
Varieties should produce flavoursome wines, avoiding red varieties that have the potential to exhibit ‘green’ characters.
Clones need to be taken into account when considering planting some varieties, as there may be significant quality differences between clones.
Examine the market, site and available material. The motivation to invest in a new variety shouldn’t be solely on the growers’ preference or interest in the variety.
Trail blazer producers are encouraged to take some risk once they have considered these points. The industry needs pioneers and there can be rewards for these trendsetters.
Small production volumes provide an image of exclusivity which is sought in on-premise outlets. It creates an image of intimacy with the producer which consumers enjoy and provides a story.
Benchmarking is useful. Tasting good examples of the variety from similar regions can provide direction for vineyard management and winemaking approaches.
Emerging wine styles for future markets are predicted by some as being lower in alcohol, early approachability and flavoursome.

Medieval castles were dominant from the early 10th century right through to the mid 17th century. During this time they changed dramatically from the early motte and bailey castles through to concentric castles with thick stone walls.
Many lessons were learnt and it is fascinating to see new ideas take shape and spread across European castles. The medieval castle arguably reached its zenith in the late 13th century with Edward I building the great castles of North Wales.
When William 1st (right) crossed to England in 1066 he enforced his power with a string of motte and bailey castles built across England. Essentially England was, for the first time, controlled by strategically sited castles. However as the Normans came to dominate the land they needed more than what was effectively a large fort. They needed a home, a court of justice, a storehouse, refuge and somewhere to meet and entertain their equals and of course their King.
However it was the crusades, which helped to bring back fresh ideas, and pushed castle building to its apogee. Richard the Lionheart started what was for it’s time the most formidable castle in the whole of Europe, Chateau Gaillard. Unfortunately he died before its completion and it was left to his brother John to lose it in a long and bitter siege.
Listen to a Medieval Rock Symphony CD on the life of King Arthur - a great gift idea!

When people, especially those in California, think of technology, undoubtedly Silicon Valley comes to mind. There’s a good reason for that – Silicon Valley continues to be the leading tech ecosystem in the world. Apple, Google, Adobe Systems, and a long list of other distinguished companies call it home. And yet, the heralded saying in this technology hotbed is: Fail fast. It may be a tongue-in-cheek adage but it is one supported by a variety of sources, including a 2017 Harvard study on tech company startups that reported 75% of venture capital-backed tech startups fail. So, why would Silicon Valley rise to the top when we think about technology? The answer is simple: perception, or perhaps it’s a misperception that we tie tech successes with Silicon Valley.
The California Department of Technology (CDT) has had its share of misperceptions as well; such as more State IT projects fail than succeed, don’t stick to planning and come in over budget. If we continue to be fed a steady diet of these misperceptions then, just like with Silicon Valley, we’ll accept them without a second thought. Now, let’s set the record straight about State IT projects.
Looking back through a 10-year window shows CDT has provided oversight to 178 State IT projects. Of those, 134 projects, or 75%, have been successfully implemented and another 31 projects are in progress. The graphic illustrates the status of the remaining 13 projects. However, apart from creating every project itself, CDT provides technical insight and best practices to ensure each project works as intended and, as a result, it provides improved services for Californians.
Before moving on to the next misperception, a little IT project planning background is needed. Basically, IT project planning looks at three key performance parameters: cost, schedule and scope. These three parameters create a baseline and when any one of the parameters changes, the entire project must adapt. Think of it as building a house where any change from the original plan will affect the schedule, the cost and potentially the scope.
For CDT, any variance greater than 10% requires a Special Project Report (SPR) that establishes a new project baseline. An SPR may mean the project is over or under budget, or the scope has changed to accommodate more customers, or a variety of other factors. SPRs give the State greater visibility into IT projects as they evolve to meet business objectives. Change is a necessary part of any project – it’s how that change is managed that counts. As the graphic shows, 90% of the State’s IT projects were completed with only three or fewer SPRs.
Somewhere along the line, it is possible, or even probable, that a project will cost more than originally estimated. This can be due to any one of several unforeseen factors, including a customer-mandated change to the original plan. The State IT projects CDT oversees have a good track record of staying on budget – despite the misperception that says otherwise. Ninety percent, or 121 of the 134 State-completed IT projects, resulted in a total cumulative budget variance of only 2%.
There is no question: The State has a long and successful record of delivering projects on time and on budget to the people of California 90% of the time. That isn’t a perception…it’s a fact.

The new Kusile station, which Eskom wants to start operating by 2017, is 15% complete, against a planned schedule of 18.5%, while the Ingula pumped storage power station is 39% complete, against a planned schedule of 42%.
Eskom introduced the programme in 2004 to guarantee an efficient, reliable electricity supply.
Medupi, whose first unit was planned to generate power to the grid in December 2012, is expected to be delayed to the second half of 2013 due to contractor delays in the fabrication of boilers.
“However, the remainder of Eskom’s build programme is generally on track, and the Kusile and Ingula projects will be delivered on schedule,” reads the review.
The report says given that there will still be a deficit of electricity supply until Medupi and Kusile are fully commissioned, greater emphasis will have to be placed on the regular monitoring and reporting of Eskom’s generation build programmes. These include promoting co-generation options, accelerating renewable energy integration, purchasing non-Eskom power, and accelerating the rollout of demand-side savings.
Some progress has also been made in the shifting of power station coal from road to rail in order to address the deterioration of roads in Mpumalanga. This project is currently focused on designing and implementing rail off-loading capabilities at Camden, Tutuka, Majuba, Grootvlei, Kendal and Hendrina power stations, which are linked or close to railway lines. To date, Eskom has completed the construction of the Camden coal terminal and 65% of the Tutuka coal terminal.
Since adopting the programme, Eskom has added 5 032MW of power-generating capacity to the country’s grid. Transmission lines totalling 3 400km have also been added, according to the utility. It has revived mothballed plants like the 1 520MW Camden power station in Ermelo, Mpumalanga, while plants in Grootvlei and Komati, also in Mpumalanga, have been partially re-commissioned.
South Africa's longer-term electricity supply needs would be directed by the integrated resource plan (IRP) for electricity now being finalised and due to be tabled to Cabinet. The plan would determine the energy mix and associated funding requirements for the next 20 years.
With regard to productivity improvements at the Durban container terminal (DCT), the Presidency says an average of 25 crane moves per hour was achieved in 2010/11, from 21 crane moves per hour in 2009/10, in line with the target of 25 crane moves per hour for that year.
To improve productivity to world-class standards, the report also highlights successful implementation of state logistic company Transnet’s build projects including two container berths at the Ngqura port in the Eastern Cape. Some 875 000 containers have been handled at Ngqura since it opened in October 2009, and the additional two berths will improve capacity to 800 000 containers per annum.
“Transnet has commenced with the next phase to expand the Ngqura container capacity to 1.5 million containers through the acquisition of container handling equipment,” the report reads.

Caris Levert keepin the Nets in the game. 14 straight in the 2nd quarter 🔥🔥🔥.
I really don’t care what Kyrie did in the past but it’s news. They’ll team up again this summer when Kyrie joins the Lakers 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️😂.

Question: If the Lakers never traded D’Angelo Russell would they be in the playoffs right now 🤔??

They are all so crucial that the wrong one can be fatal. In the game of chess, each move that you make is to be thought-out and planned strategically. And I feel like that is how life is. Whether it is the investments you choose to pursue, where you choose to reside, your plans for the upcoming year or even who you surround yourself with. Each choice that you make as you get older plays a large role in life now and in the future.⠀ ⠀ With all the options that life hands us, it is important that we make that right ones for ourselves. No one knows you better than you, and this is no one's life but your own! In the game of chess, your end goal is to win, plain and simple. However, only you can choose to do that with each move that you make. As life moves on and we all grow up, it is important that each "move" that we make is to "win" in the end. And I don't mean win like a game or a special prize. As we get older, our "win" is to be happy and to have all our dreams and goals be fulfilled.⠀ ⠀ It is important that when you are making decisions in life, no matter what it may be, that you are thinking about you. What is going to be best for you. Don't think about what your parents want or what your friends think, think about you. What do you want to do? What choice is going to be the best for you and your future? What choice are you going to win with? ⠀ So yes, getting older can be harder at times. And you will be faced with harder decisions, but that's life. It’s inevitable. But just like in the game of chess, you make the moves and you decide what you want to do. Do what you want to do, not what other want you to do. ⠀ ⠀ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥.

Home Technology 3G or 4G – So Which Should You Get?
If you cannot decide which is better 3G or 4G here is the bottom line. 4G is faster but consumes battery life more quickly. And while 4G technology is superior, its speed will be determined by your carrier. If you are going to buy a phone or tablet, no doubt it will be advertised as being 3G or 4G, but what exactly does that mean?
The G refers to mobile phone technology generation which is installed in cellular networks and mobile phones. Each G necessitates a phone upgrade and for the network it means upgrading their system. The first generation, 1G was the analog cell phone followed by the digital phones (2G). The third generation, 3G appeared in US markets in 2003. The technology back then was capable of 144Kbps. As the years passed many, many types of 3G emerged with speeds ranging from 400Kbps to ten times faster.
The same is happening with 4G technology. It promises to deliver faster Internet, better voice quality, more data capacity and other benefits. But as in the case with 3G, numerous ways of implementing it have appeared that the term has come to mean all sorts of things. A standards body, the International Telecommunications Union tried to implement a set of standards for the technology to be called 4G, but carriers ignored them.
So today 4G includes LTE, WiMAX, and HSPA+ 21/42. While some experts hold that LTE is the only real 4G technology, others disagree, and there are even some who say that none of the so-called 4G today actually deliver the speed which they should.
But one thing is certain, and that is every new generation will offer increased speeds at least with the same carrier. Although there is confusion with all the terminology, you can be certain the speed will get a boost on your carrier when they upgrade to the new generation.
Of course the challenge now is finding which carrier offers the fastest Internet speed. But this isn’t as difficult as it used to be because there are online reviews that gauge a carrier’s capability.
Is it Time for 4G?
The first thing you have to realize is that carriers are still completing their 4G networks. If you want 4G you need to buy a 4G as nothing else will do. Even then, the coverage will vary from carrier to carrier. But make no mistake about it; elements of 4G are already in the market. If you love streaming video or surfing the Internet, 4G is right up your alley.
The bottom line is any activity that requires a large bandwidth will benefit from it. But there is a catch though, as carriers impose data limits in their subscription plans. 4G is also the way to go if you are frustrated with your 3G phone and just can’t put up with all the network traffic. 4G is not only faster but there is less traffic.
When thinking of which is better 3G or 4G, bear in mind that 4G will not resolve problems with dropped calls, as carriers still use the 3G networks for all calls. 3G is not dead yet, but if you want to be a step ahead, it is best to go for 4G. But 3G is still around and it will be a while before 4G completely takes over.

Weve been dating for over 5 months now, and from the start of our relationship, i noticed she was not good at communication. This might be due to their constant need to be reassured of the soundness of the relationship and to overcome that relationship insecurity. If you've exhibited some of this behavior, or if the people in your life have asked you to give them space, then you need to work on improving yourself and your approach to relationships so you can be less clingy. A good approach is to ask him what he'd like by way of messaging and what he'd feel would be too much. If he does not like your friends He may also give some hints, that he does not like you to be with your friends. I woke up groggy early the next morning.
He gets upset if you don't reply instantly to his calls and messages? Practice the art of self-soothing with relaxation techniques, suggests Banschick. Hold hands if it's appropriate. One of my most popular articles is. In addition, we are both in college and don't have a lot of money to spend on entertainment. This can turn into a friendship, or it can just give you something to do. Do not give up on your own needs and feelings. Together, they cited information from.
Well, if you think this is out of the ordinary, bad news for you! Not only will you feel accomplished for doing something you love, but you'll enjoy being on your own more. Anytime I try to talk to him about it, or encourage him to find new interests, his feelings get hurt and he will try to force himself to go find something to do, like go to a store or something. I told her I was sorry. Jealousy is one of those conflicting emotions. You wanting to hang out with him after he was gone all weekend does not make you needy or clingy. Here is why being clingy is actually good for your relationship: 1. Happy thoughts race through my mind.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Our men love it when we treat them as our heroes; it feeds their pride to know that they can give their women protection. But two whole days was too long for me, I pleaded with her. Are you the one initiating contact every time? My girlfriend recently broke up with me due to this behavior. But you must always take it slow. We need time together and time apart in order to grow and develop as an individual as well as a loving partner. He must have been someone who re-instilled your faith in the dating process and helped you believe in true love.
Then he will value, accept, and love you for who you are. She might get a headache. If you do decide that this is an area you wish to address, have confidence that you can change your needy and clingy behaviors. It was as if no one could tear you apart, admit it. And I was constantly missing her. That means touching the other person gently on the arm, back of the neck, shoulders, etc. Over-analysis and assumptions only lead to wasted energy being spent on worrying.
Being clingy is the way to go. After that, I lay down in bed. You will not even know when your perfect partner turns into a clingy boyfriend. During their first date, she started asking him where they would go on the next date. I need some serious help here. Keeping tabs on how often you get to spend time together will create trouble in your relationship. Getting them to improve was more about getting them to feel better and fix the problem for my other siblings.
And the more space you grant each person, the fonder they will be of you because you're not in their pockets all the time. If you're with a friend, don't stand too close, give too many hugs or touches, or play with that friend's hair or accessories, or you may smother her. A lot of clingy people immediately latch on to a new person, whether it's a new person or someone they've had just one or two dates with. And my experience can reveal what a clingy guy does and how he behaves! Failing to Be the Strong Man That She Really Wants and Needs As a man, the most important thing you can offer a woman is your emotional strength and the worst thing you can offer is your weakness. Don't try to be around even more if this happens, but give the person some breathing room. At the start of the relationship, it might be very pleasing to have someone who cares for you and keeps tabs on you. It was supposed to be the wedding d-day.
People tend to be clingy when they expect their partner to meet all of their emotional needs. Live your own life and enjoy your own interests and hobbies. I have always being a jealous person even to my female friends and I told him that so I expected him to be less accommodating to other females but he just spoke to me the same way he did to them, nothing to make me feel special and this started to frustrate me. How then do I correct it? If you are sincere and serious about wanting to know how to stop being clingy in your relationships with women, you first need to understand what is causing you to behave in a clingy way. He has discovered the secret to keep the love and sexual spark alive for life with a woman. Little red flags pop up when I get the drift a man is clingy. Well, you are absolutely wrong, because nowadays boys tend to be equally needy and clingy in relationships.

I am back! With some really ordinary brownies. I did look thoughtfully into the middle distance for a while over the idea of making something that really said “it’s a new year!” in a jazz-handsy kind of way, but I didn’t really have it in me, and also wanted brownies. In the same way that every person is the lead character in their own story that they’re living – if that makes sense? – January is still just another month that happens to have danced around to the front. I guess what I’m saying is…brownies! They’re not surprising, but they are excellent.
That said, I enjoyed having the opportunity to reflect upon 2013 and think about what I want to achieve in 2014 (besides just being like “whoaaaaa it’s 2014 the movie Practical Magic is sixteen years old”) and to gather together my intentions and so on. Without loading too much pressure on myself, since no-one needs that. More just things like…I want to pay attention to the phases of the moon, and read even more books written by women this year, and cook more proactively than reactively, and learn lots of new words and their meanings…and on a more specific level, I would also like this year to bring Lorde-levels of spectacular fame and success for my cookbook and me, for my wedding at the end of June to be fun and not financially whimper-making, and – sigh – to be way tidier. So, a little bit of pressure, I guess.
Despite my complete underselling of these brownies (great food blogging, Laura) they are of course delicious and are going to help me beat the back-to-school blues when I take them for lunch with me to work every day. This is something I’ve done before, but never quite sustain it for very long – hopefully this year I can be more (as I said above) proactive rather than reactive in the kitchen.
What better way to start the year than under the velvety influence of my queen Nigella Lawson, whose cookbook Kitchen is where this recipe comes from. She charmingly calls them Everyday Brownies, which, given that the 75g cocoa she specifies is nearly a cupful, says a lot about the quality of her days. But like all brownies should be, they are reassuringly easy to make, taste brilliant, keep for ages, and will probably help embiggen your day somewhat should you be eating them on your lunch break too.
From Nigella Lawson’s book Kitchen.
Preheat the oven to 190C, and line a 25cmx25cm (or thereabouts) baking dish with baking paper.
Melt the butter, and stir in the sugar. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and salt – cocoa tends to be lumpy, and baking soda is no fun to get a mouthful of, so sifting really is useful here. Add the eggs, vanilla, and chocolate, then stir, and scrape into your baking tin and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. It depends on what you’re into, but brownies tend to be better when they’re a bit undercooked, so don’t worry if everything’s wobbly on top when you take it out of the oven.
I hope that the 13 changing to a 14 has seen good times for you all. I had a really nice xmas at home with my family (including – one of whom is pictured above – the two truculent cats who eventually acknowledged my presence after an enormous loss of dignity on my behalf), and read, and knitted, and that was about it really. Then, camping. I’ve been camping at this one place with my family since I was six months old (am still about as useful at helping to put up the tents now as I was back then) and it was a joy to be there again for a few days. A freezing, rained-upon, mosquito-bitten joy. I did, however, manage to read The Luminaries in 48 hours, and it was worth every last mosquito bite to be able to do that.
This place is so tightly knitted and purled into my life that it seems like the most beautiful land on earth.
Oh! One more thing: I’ve had fun contributing to Radio New Zealand’s Summer Nights programme. I completely love public speaking, so it was super cool to be broadcasting live to air on Monday when I was last there – if you want to listen to them there are audios available at Radio New Zealand’s website. Presuming you’ve made it to here while reading this, it’s not implausible that you could handle more?
title from: Nina Simone, Feeling Good. While up at home I saw her performance at Montreux in 1976 played on TV, she was sublime. I love her so much.
St Vincent, Cheerleader. Annie Clark of St Vincent is such a dreamboat and I love how this song is so stormy and dreamy. Also, rather cool name she’s chosen to perform under, hey?
Speaking of dreamy, I danced to Beyonce’s euphoric song XO on New Year’s Eve and it was…um. Dreamy. Guess I should’ve put “diversity of adjectives” on my xmas wish list.
next time: no idea but I’ve done the groceries so it will be more than just an instagram of marmite on toast or a handful of chocolate buttons. Promise.
Often, everyday brownies are the best kind of brownies. I mean, a brownie a day pretty much HAS to make you happy.
They look good! Not crazy-rich but properly chocolatey.
I too go through phases of making a dessert for the week, or granola bars or something, and then just not. I like the weeks with dessert so much more.
Can't believe NZ's landscape is uninteresting to you, it fascinates me from afar, and I HOPE I can travel with the sole purpose of taking in its splendor some day! But you be bored with it in the meantime for me plz.

Police order a group of women who traveled to Shanghai to raise awareness of LGBT rights to leave People's Park.
A group of women trying to raise awareness of LGBT rights by advertising their single, gay sons and daughters at Shanghai’s “marriage market” were forced to disperse after a heated confrontation with other parents and security personnel.
The so-called “marriage market” at Shanghai’s centrally located People’s Park draws a large crowd of parents who post signs each weekend describing their children in an effort to find a suitable partner, but organizers among the parents of LGBT children said this Saturday marked the first time that parents with gay children tried to join them.
“If parents of straight people can be here, parents of gay people can also be here,” Dong Wanwan, a mother who had traveled 1,200 kilometers from Shenzhen, told the angry crowd. “We have every right to be here — I’m here to find a boyfriend for my son,” she said.
The other parents, however, were not welcoming and started to castigate the 11 mothers who had traveled from all over China, some of them hoping to find a match for their child.
The awareness-raising event was jointly organized by gay support group PFLAG and Rela, an app for lesbians, to coincide with May 20 — also known as 5.20 — often described as “Lover’s Day” in China. Despite some signs of increasing acceptance and tolerance toward LGBT people nationwide, the response in Shanghai showed resistance persists.
After about one hour, police intervened and ordered the parents to leave the park. An administrative officer surnamed Li told Sixth Tone that their activity constituted an “advertising” event as they were also handing out educational flyers with company logos. Under Chinese law, all public events have to be registered with the police.
“It’s quite common that police use the no-registration as an excuse to disperse these kind of activities or events” in China, said James Yang, program officer at the United Nations Development Program’s “Being LGBTI in Asia” project.
When LGBT groups have tried to seek permission for similar events in the past, however, they’ve been turned down, he said, citing one event that the security department cancelled last minute.
“So many LGBT groups don’t tend to register, or go public, fearing their request will be turned down,” Yang said.
While gay rights in China have made significant strides in recent years, it is still not an openly discussed topic: only 17 percent of the country’s LGBTI population is out to their families, and they often face prejudice at schools, workplaces, and hospitals.
Xia Danning, a 63-year-old woman from southwest China's Chongqing city, said that the parents' attitude in the park generally reflects the perception of LGBT people in China.

Since I’ve already come clean about my long history as a loyal Camdenite, it seems only natural that I write briefly about what has become of the stars of 7th Heaven. Barry Watson went on to do failed sophomore drama What About Bryan and then comedy Samantha Who? for ABC; David Gallagher replaced Watson in the Boogeyman sequel and also headlined The Picture Of Dorian Gray; while Jessica Biel has done projects ranging from Blade Trinity to Cameron Crowe’s maddeningly disappointing Elizabethtown. But we of course knew this already. What triggered my interest in revisiting the ranks of Heaven alumni, was the fact that Scotty Leavenworth reportedly was spotted in this week’s episode of ABC’s still blockbustery Desperate Housewives.
I won’t hold it against you if you don’t remember who Scotty Leavenworth is, but even if you didn’t take note of him during his one season run as a Heaven regular, you might, at different times, have seen him in such movies as Simon Birch, My Life As A House or Donnie Darko. If you watch the delightfully quirky Darko, you can’t avoid him. He’s that who talks about Donnie in the immediate aftermath of Gary Jules’ powerful Mad World. He was also a regular on Steven Bocho one-season drama Philly a couple of years ago.
But to me, he still is Peter Petrowski, Ruthie Camden’s first longer-term boyfriend (meaning for more than one episode, and actually talked about as such) on 7th Heaven. Leavenworth was only in his early teens back then, and his acting of course was nothing to make a fuzz about. The reason why I’ve kept an eye on him, is because I like his character on the show, in some weird way. I’ve written previously about how I think the best episodes were those that spelled out its moralistic intentions in broad terms, and Leavenworth had his part in many of these. In Smoking, for example, that socially insecure loser Peter feels compelled to admit to Ruthie that he thinks smoking is cool, which of course warrants a mini-Inquisition to rid Peter of his unhealthy habit and to convince him that coolness is overrated. Though at times painstakingly transparent in its intentions, it’s also a great laugh. Though I generally have an emotional bond to the goings on in Glenoak, such an episode could not be tolerable without a little dose of cynicism. Or take High And Dry, the episode where Leavenworth’s Peter has to declare himself ‘Sorry for all the drinking and the lies‘ to Ruthie, after having committed the obviously unforgivable sin of simply looking at a can of beer in a Glenoak public park, complete with long-absent, previously alcoholic father lecturing him on the peril of under-age drinking. Not exactly subtle, but quite entertaining still.
Seasons seven and eight, during which Leavenworth was part of the show, it received much criticism from fans for giving such peripheral characters as Peter independent storylines, arguing that it stole the focus from show’s backbone, the Camden family. I always enjoyed his storylines, even though some of them were extremely silly, and those that were not, often were mere launching pads for message-heavy moralism, or maybe for just that reason. For many Camdenites, the first four-or-so seasons are seen as the show’s golden years, but to me Simon’s and Ruthie’s struggles with teenagehood in later season were far more interesting. However platonic and non-threatening, Ruthie’s relationship with Peter marked a rite of passage for the youngest Camden female. Underlining the point, Peter pops by in season nine, only to immediately become Ruthie’s make-out buddy.
And now, that make-out buddy’s status seemingly has elevated to one of the most popular shows on broadcast. Was there another point to this post, other than reliving old TV moments? Oh, y’know, he’s cute (Leavenworth, left, same goes for Charles Carver on the right).

I watched 7th Heaven a bit when it first came out but really didn’t get into the show. As the show progressed I began to see a lot of eye candy in the show. While it makes me want to revisit the show I’m not sure the eye candy will be enough to offset the right-wing messages.
It took quite a bit of time for me, too. But when I finally got into it, I decided neither the right-wing message machine nor the public ridicule could stop me. I simply learned to love these characters (at least some of them) with all their flaws.

Knock on wood is probably one of the most used superstitions of the Western world.
In Great Britain it is more common to say “touch wood”.
The phrase is often used instinctively after boasting about something or if we think we have tempted fate.
Millions of people habitually use the phrase “knock on wood” or “touch wood” after something good has happened. This is to prevent the evil spirits to take your luck away.
You certainly want to make sure the good stuff sticks by you.
Obviously you need to actually touch wood or knock on wood as you speak the phrase.
It is also used when speaking of something good to come in the future. This is to ensure the good actually will happen.
Many also will say “knock on wood” or “touch wood” to prevent something bad from happening.
The origin of the superstition of knocking on wood is disputed. There are several different theories about the matter.
Many believe the practice of knocking on wood or touching wood goes far back to pre-Christian times.
During Pagan times people firmly believed in tree spirits. Trees were worshiped.
The concept that trees had magical powers was commonly acknowledged.
The dryads of the trees could heal the sick and give blessings of good fortune.
Treated badly the dryads could also put an end to your happiness.
The notion that nymphs, spirits, gods and goddesses reside in trees had a deep impact on humans.
Trees were thereby treated with respect and honored. You always wanted to be on good terms with the dryads.
Some would also go to a sacred tree and whisper their hopes, dreams and secrets to the tree. Before doing so, they would knock on the tree.
They believed the evil spirits could not hear their secret wishes if they knocked on the tree.
Some say the Christian cross is the reason for touching wood. The wooden cross is considered sacred. During the Middle Ages people were a lot more superstition.
The wooden cross was acknowledged as quite effective to keep evil spirits at a distance.
Monks, wearing wood crosses were known to tap (knock on) the cross to ward off evil spirits lurking among their mists.
“Tiggy touch wood” was an extremely well known children’s game in the early 19th century in Great Britain.
This was a chasing game.
The concept was that one was safe only when touching wood.
Often the children would shout “Tiggy, tiggy touch wood. I’ve got no wood.” to tease the chaser.
There is a theory that the phrase “touch wood” simply originated from this children’s game.
All were safe as soon as they would touch Wood.

From my earliest years, I've always loved reading and writing. It seemed only natural that I'd become a writer.
Earning my bachelor's in English and Spanish education led to my rewarding career as a high school teacher, disciplinarian, and department head of English and world languages in the Philadelphia School System. I later earned a master's in English education and a doctorate in curriculum theory and development and educational administration.
I had the privilege of working in three schools in the beautiful city of Philadelphia: Abraham Lincoln, a comprehensive high school, Benjamin Franklin High School, an inner city high school, and the Philadelphia High School for Girls, a school for academically talented girls and one of the oldest public high schools in the country. I started out as an English teacher and later became a department head of English, World Languages, and English as a Second Language.
While I was still working, I began writing magazine articles. After leaving my job, I began writing books, my lifelong dream. My bully prevention book, Blue Cheese Breath and Stinky Feet: How to Deal with Bullies, has been translated into many different languages.
After retiring from the school system, I worked for Temple University as an adjunct assistant professor in the capacity of student teaching supervisor. Throughout my years working in schools and training teachers, I learned what works and what doesn't in motivating children. My main goal has always been to make learning fun.
I'm excited about my forthcoming book, Help Yourself Every Day: Thirty Magical Meditations to Help You Manifest Your Best Life Now. This book helps you meditate using bright, beautiful colors. Better yet, it will help you manifest what you're looking for to make your life the best it can be.
News Flash: Find A Place of Learning: A Teacher's Story on Amazon to learn about what goes on in a teacher's day. Uncensored!
Also, look on Amazon for Elliot K. Carnucci is a Big, Fat Loser, my fiction bully prevention book for middle-grade kids. See if you like Elliot, my lead character as much as I do. Whether you're a kid, Mom, Dad, or Grandparent, I think you'll find something to like about Elliot's quest to stop the bullies in their tracks.Will he win or lose the battle? Buy the book and find out.
My interactive prayer book for teenage girls, Hi, God, It's Me: E-Prayers for Teenage Girls, originally published by Twenty-Third Publications, is now out in e-book form on Amazon Kindle, iPad, Barnes and Noble Nook, and Sony Reader, and all major e-venues. I've completely revised it for use with all religious denominations.
I've written another book about bullying called Cool Things To Do While a Bully’s Bugging You for children 6-12. I'm also developing a non-denominational e-prayer book for teenage boys.
Look for Parenting Mindfully:101 Ways to Help You Raise Caring and Responsible Kids in an Unpredictable World. Find it on Amazon or Rowman and Littlefield's site.

Mt Hotham welcomes visitors of all abilities, and supports Disabled Wintersports Australia's resort services coordination program. We provide a number of services, including a Disability Visitor's Guide for Winter, designated disabled day parking bays, wheelchair accessible toilets in public areas (including at the top of Heavenly Valley), and wheelchair accessible public shelters and cafes.
Corral Day Car Park: There are four designated disabled car parking bays in this car park, located immediately opposite the Village chairlift and adjacent to the Resort Management Office. Access to the snowfields is approximately 50m from the Corral Car Park therefore wheelchair access and assistance with moving personal adaptive equipment to the snowfields may be required. If the disabled parking bays are occupied and the remainder of the car park is full or not suitable for your specific needs, contact Resort Management and explain your specific requirements. Resort Management will be able to allocate alternative parking in front of the Snowbird Inn or Zirky's for day access.
Big D Day Car Park: DWA dashboard token parking is available at CFA corner (between the Big D ski area and the CFA building), but is only permitted with a DWA token. These tokens are only available from the Resort Management Office, located above the Transit Lounge in Hotham Village.
Loch Day Car Park: There are two designated disabled car parks in the Loch Car Park, located to the right of the car park. Please note that this car park is the highest public car park in Victoria, at 1800 metres, which means it is quite exposed to the elements and regularly subject to high winds and deep snow drifts during or immediately after snow storms.
Long Term Parking: If you are staying overnight or longer, you will need to park in the Long-term / Overnight parking areas indicated in green on the Disability Visitor's Winter Guide. You will need to move your vehicle to one of these car parks by 11:00pm, however you can unload your luggage in one of the many 15/30 minute parking areas near your accommodation then move your car to the long term parking. A free Village shuttle bus, which is suitable for wheelchair access, will pick up from the long term parking areas and take you to a bus stop nearest your accommodation.
There are four (4) wheelchair accessible toilets within the Mt Hotham resort area.
Transit Lounge: Located at the rear of the public shelter / Transit Lounge, which is adjacent to the Corral Car Park (beneath the Resort Management Office). Enter via Transit Lounge doors, and use the ramp to access the toilets at the rear of this area.
Hotham Central: Enter the Hotham Central building via Hotham Snow Sports Centre doors in the centre of the building complex, turn right at the corridor, follow the corridor approximately 50 metres to the wheelchair elevator on the right-hand side of the corridor. Note: Keys for the elevator are available at Guest Services, all retail outlets and Hotham Sports Rentals. Continue past the Guest Services desk/ticket office towards the end of the building where wheelchair accessible toilets are located. Snow conditions may make access to the building more difficult; if you need assistance entering the building or moving around within Hotham Central, Guest Services are happy to assist, please ask at the Guest Services desk.
Big D Centre: Wheelchair accessible toilets are on the ground floor in the Big D centre near the ticket office. Note: Disabled parking close to the Big D is in the day car park at CFA corner (between the Big D ski area and the CFA building), but is only permitted with a DWA token, only available from the Resort Management Office.
Heavenly Valley Chair: The public shelter at the top of the Heavenly Valley chairlift has a wheelchair accessible toilet (also accessible from the Loch car park). Disabled Wintersport Australia has supplied a guest wheelchair to help with entering the shelter and accessing the toilet.
There are three areas where visitors requiring wheelchair access can shelter. In Hotham Central there are also cafes that are wheelchair accessible.
Transit Lounge: See above for how to access the Transit Lounge. There are vending machines and water available here, but no cafes.
Hotham Central: See above for how to access the Hotham Central building. In the main corridor the food and retail outlets include the Hotham Central Supermarket and Hot Doggies. Chill Bar & Cafe can be accessed via the wheelchair elevator at the end of the corridor. Note: Keys for the elevator are available at Guest Services, all retail outlets and Hotham Sports Rentals.
Big D: There is limited shelter space in the foyer of the Big D centre, however the cafe on the first floor is not wheelchair accessible. Note: Disabled parking close to the Big D is in the day car park at CFA corner (between the Big D ski area and the CFA building), but is only permitted with a DWA token, only available from the Resort Management Office.
Mt Hotham's bus fleet has been refreshed for the 2018 season and features low floor buses fitted with a wheelchair ramp, compliant with Victorian transport standards.
The buses pick up and drop off at designated stops in a loop around the village, from Hotham Central to Whiskey Flat (please refer to the Disability Visitors' Guide for a map showing the bus route). For visitors using wheelchairs, the driver will place a ramp between the front door of the bus to the kerb of the road. Please note that the incline of the ramp may vary due to snow clearing levels.
We recommend that all visitors requiring wheelchair access beyond bus transport contact Mt Hotham Resort Management staff to discuss their requirements as early as possible to help ensure a safe and enjoyable visit.

Mr. Groom is a US-based company providing a range of products to meet the grooming and nutritional needs of both show animals and household pets. Mr. Groom boasts over 40 years of being one of the top selling all-natural shampoo and conditioner lines in the pet industry providing a wide range of products that help solve common pet coat and skin problems.
Mr. Groom grooming aids began their journey in the US and international pet markets in the late 1950’s when one of Fabrege’s employees tried the famous Happy Hair human product on their show dog. Amazed with the results, they obtained permission to produce the product under the brand name Show Groom. Sales and customer responses were so good that Mr. Groom Pet Products Company was formed. Soon, the now famous Coat and Skin Conditioner and the full line of all-natural shampoo and conditioner products were added.
Since 1960 Mr. Groom has been a leader in providing a range of product to meet the grooming and nutritional needs of both show animals and household pets. Mr. Groom boasts over 1/2 century of being one of the top selling all-natural shampoo and conditioner lines in the pet industry providing a wide range of products that help solve common pet coat and skin problems. While Mr. Groom was developed with dogs in mind, many products are equally safe and effective for cats. These products have also experienced excellent results with horses and a variety of livestock.
Mr. Groom has a motto of continuous improvement and to match this the new line of products will feature a formula that is enhanced with proteins and includes even more high quality, all-natural ingredients such as aloe, oatmeal, chamomile and tea tree oil that work together to help promote the health and beauty of your pets coat. To match the notorious shine that the products give to pets’ coats, Mr. Groom products will feature new packaging that is fun and represents the style and charisma of the brand.

How to have a green wedding!
:: Ask the hotel (or travel agent, if you’re booking through one) about honeymoon packages available. Most places include a free bottle of champagne on arrival as a standard honeymoon treat, while others offer vouchers, free breakfast, day tours and more.
:: Ask about opportunities for a room upgrade. Some hotels offer a deal where if a better room becomes available and it hasn’t been booked, they’ll transfer you. You want to be on that list!
:: Try and avoid travelling during peak season. You’ll be less likely to get a free upgrade if the hotel is fully booked.
:: Arrive at the check-in desk early. If there are any available seats in First or Business Class, you don’t want to miss out on them because that other lovely couple got in before you.
:: Dress like you belong in first class. Yes, we mean heels for women and a tie for men. You can always change into your trackies and ugg boots when you’ve taken off.
:: Become a frequent flyer. Airline companies are more inclined to keep loyal clients satisfied before the average traveller. So make sure you sign up when booking your holiday, and flash your card at check-in.
:: Tell the check-in attendant that you’re honeymooners. But be friendly, not pushy.
:: Don’t be afraid to ask for a room upgrade. Kindly ask the reception clerk at check-in if the hotel is at its full capacity and if it isn’t, if there’s any possibility of getting a room upgrade. Always tell them that you enquired about this when booking and they might think they need to follow up a promise.
:: Don’t be afraid to name drop. Strike up a conversation with the concierge (or if you see the hotel manager, even better) and gush about the time you stayed at another five star hotel while travelling. Guaranteed, they’ll want to do one better for you.
:: Make the concierge your best friend during your stay. They’re the ones who will go that extra length to make your stay pleasant.
:: Tip! Each time a staff member of the hotel does something for you, make sure you tip them as a thanks. They’ll want to keep helping you.
:: Don’t be demanding. Sometimes hotel guests feel like the hotel owes them something for their stay, and become demanding and arrogant during their stay. Be nice to the hotel staff and they’ll be nice to you.

Saw the Private Rheumy today £250! worked out at over £4 a minute!!!
I finally got my diagnosis of Ehler Danlos Syndrome Type 3!!!! In a weird twist of fate my sister also got diagnosed today. Its strange enough we both had appointments with Rheumy’s today but to get the same diagnosis BIZARRE!!
I am tucked up in bed and doped up to the eyeballs as every joint in my body hurts after doing my contortionist act for the Dr.
Sorry this is a short one but I am at the hospital tomorrow to see my POTS team. The journey will be horrendous as the Devon County Show starts tomorrow so our sleepy town will be gridlocked. We are leaving at 815am, the appointment isn’t until 945am! That’s how bad it will be.
I'm happy for you! It looks like our paths have taken a similar route. MG, to EDS. In case you don't know, I met you on the Neurotalk board. I enjoy your blog.

(WPLG) -- The U.S. remains the world leader when it comes to cosmetic procedures, with an estimated 4 million surgical and non-surgical procedures combined.
While the majority are considered safe, there's an alarming uptick in eye procedures that can cause permanent damage and even blindness, something Nadinne Bruna learned the hard way.
Bruna and her twin sister shot to social media stardom with provocative photos and work out videos.
"I started to get very obsessive with fitness and cosmetic treatments," Bruna said.
She and her sister were dubbed the Bum-Bum twins for their ample, surgically enhanced figures.
"I started to gain popularity on Instagram and doctors offered me a lot of treatments for free and surgeries," Bruna said.
Then came the offer to change the color of her eyes.
"I say, 'Wow, it's great,' so I accept it," she said.
The twins flew to Colombia for the procedure because it's not approved in the U.S.
"The reason is there are a multitude of problems as a result," said Dr. Ranya Habash, with UHealth-Bascom Palmer Eye Institute/TopLine MD.
Habash said the surgery involves placing a colored silicone implant into the cornea, over the iris.
"So you're putting a foreign body inside the eye in a very tight space," Habash said.
Habash said it's like covering the drain of a sink with a wet paper towel, essentially clogging the drain and creating damaging pressure.
"It compresses the optic nerve in the back of the eye, kind of flattens it out like a pancake," Habash said.
The resulting nerve damage leads to vision loss that is often irreparable.
"That someone would subject themselves to undergoing a procedure like that is mindboggling," Ophthalmologist Dr. Inna Ozerov said.
"I was completely naive," Bruna admitted.
Scleral tattooing is also a growing trend and, just as it sounds, involves injecting ink from a needle into the white of the eye.
"Some of these patients have essentially lost their vision, but some end up losing their eyes completely," Oserov said.
Once doctors at Bascom Palmer removed Bruna's implants, they saw the damage that had been done.
"All the diseases one can have in the eye, I have them all," Bruna said. "I got so much depression I start to cry and I say to my sister, 'I want to kill myself.'"
Bruna has lost 50 percent of her vision and struggles with painful light sensitivity, but she hopes telling her story will serve as a warning to others.
"It's very important to see and you give value to that after something like this happens," Bruna said. "For sure, don't touch your eyes."
Colored contacts are a considered a "safe" way to change the color of your eyes with some key cautions.
The contacts should only be purchased through a board certified vision specialist and should only be left in the eyes for a few hours.
Colored contacts can reduce oxygen flow to the eye, which means wearing them too long may lead to problems.

Again I connected the representative after long wait my called received and repeated the all procedures and informed me that your debt card has been active.
The Benazir Debt Card has been launched to eliminate human involvement to maintain transparency and faster and more reliable disbursements.
And while the introduction of chip and PIN technology helped cut credit and debt card fraud for the first time in a decade, organized gangs of fraudsters are now increasingly targeting the Web.
Later, the Prime Minister distributed cheques of Waseela-e-Haq, life insurance certificates and Benazir Debt Card among the selected groups of deserving people.
Pink Sheets: "PYPR") announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Pay Pro Card Corporation, is in talks with banks in Venezuela, Honduras and Chile to deliver debt card programs to customers in these Latin American countries.
MARTINLEWIS YOU CAN TWEET ME @MARTINLEWIS It means if you play your (credit) cards right, they stop being debt cards, and instead turn into the perfect way to pay, with powerful perks at no cost.
If you're overdrawn, debit cards are DEBT cards, too, and often they're worse than credit cards.
People often pooh-pooh credit cards, but if you're overdrawn, debit cards are debt cards too.
Meem' offers innovative, non-traditional Shariah-compliant banking services such as 'the-One-Pack' account which combines the benefits of both current and savings accounts, online flexible term deposits, multi-currency debt cards and digital communication channels such as e-mail, web chat and social media such as Twitter.
You can also add debt cards and too much cash to the list of things to avoid putting in your wallet, purse or bag.
For instance, there's the MTV Eyewear with Aureole Inspecs, MTV Citibank credit and debt cards, MTV Backpack Holidays (with travel portal Travelguru).
FOR 42m adults with more than 130m credit and debt cards in their wallets and handbags, it is tempting to believe a new era in security begins tomorrow when Chip and PIN becomes the crucial factor in using those cards.

This just in: CopyBlogger is removing comments. For real. (When we saw the blog post, we thought it was a joke/ploy to get the article read. Nope. They're actually removing comments.
First, as Sonia Simone points out, this might be the best thing that ever happened to a lot of bloggers. There have been a lot of great comments on Copyblogger. But sometimes these are so long and so frequent that it begins to look like a blog-by-comment strategy.
If you're a blogger this should be pretty exciting. Now instead of Sonia (or +Brian Clark) reading your comment at the end of their article, they'll read it on your website, beside all your other amazing content. That's just too fun.
Second, anyone who thinks Copyblogger has been resting on their laurels should now reconsider. Even if you don't agree with the decision to remove comments it iscutting-edge.
Hats off to Copyblogger and Sonia for trying something new. We look forward to seeing how this experiment works out.
Perhaps, yet again, they are years ahead of the game.

In my continuing efforts to awaken public interest in this Anglican priest’s remarkable theology, I am happy to make available my master’s thesis on Martin Thornton. It completed my M.T.S. degree from Nashotah House, and is the result of several years of prayer and dedicated research—including my month of pilgrimage in summer 2014 spent in England and Wales, when I met with Monica Thornton, Martin’s wife, along with Dr Rowan Williams, Sr Benedicta Ward, Dr George Westhaver, and others.
For a more extended introduction to this thesis, see here.
The purpose of this Thesis is to explicate the principles at play in Martin Thornton’s theology. Martin Thornton wrote thirteen books and numerous chapters and articles that explored the theological nature of corporate prayer, its relationship to doctrine, tradition and scripture, and the overall scope of discipleship and obedience to Christ that begins in this life and continues into the next. The first section of the Thesis describes the underlying theological motif and the resulting theological model. That is, the motif of “Every truth flowing from the Incarnation must impinge upon our corporate prayer life” discloses the dynamic model of total, corporate spirituality Thornton calls “Ascetic.” The next section outlines the Thornton’s varied articulations of Ascetic seen as operations with respect to scripture, doctrine, and tradition; and such operations are properly called Thornton’s “Ascetical Theology,” all of which demonstrate Thornton’s mode of ressourcement within a 20th-century Anglican context. Overall this Thesis hopes to demonstrate that Thornton’s motif and model affirm a Catholic conviction, and his operations an Anglican context—the “English School of Catholic spirituality” being the underground yet regnant dynamic within Anglican tradition including present day—and that his theology as a whole remains relevant, useful, and pastorally attuned for use today, in parish life particularly as well as in wider ecumenical discussions.

I arrive at the tiny Apia airport, on the island of Upolu, in Samoa, barely one hour before my flight but the counter, and the entire airport for that matter, has yet to open. There are a few passengers sitting and chatting around the hall and a line of suitcases queueing in front of the unmanned check-in counter. The entire set-up looks more like a bus station than an international airport. It is not the first time I am acquainted with the place, I landed in the same tarmac a week before, from Fiji, which now seems like a buzzing metropolis.
I try counting the number of passengers and realize that, either the plane will be empty, or it will be tiny. There are, however, more kilos in all the small mountains of luggage scattered around than in human weight, despite the severely obese American Samoan population.
Eventually, the personnel from Samoa Air shows up and starts checking in. The owners of all the suitcases come up to the rescue. Both passengers and luggage are weighted in.
There is no place to wait or buy any food or drinks so I sit down and scrutinize the tarmac, looking for the aircraft. I see a small 19-seater propeller plane. As soon as I step into the plane I see a strange 2-1 seat configuration: the 2-seater right side of the plane is a bench without a separation armrest in the middle. Our luggage makes an entrance and is strapped on the empty seats, at the back of the plane, as if each suitcase was a passenger. That is why there were so few passengers checking-in, suitcases were counted as passengers. For such a short flight, people seem to be traveling with their entire lives. It must be the Pacific version of the trip North African immigrants in France make through Spain every summer, mattresses and all strapped on the car roofs. This is one of only two ways to reach such an isolated South Pacific Island, the other one being via Hawaii..
The reality of the bench-style seats is apparent as soon as I get to my seat: they are big enough for two “regular-sized” passengers or one large Samoan. The issue is that, in my case, they are trying to fit the skinny tourist with an oversized local and it just is not working. Half of my body and my left leg end up hanging off for the entire flight. Needless to say, I know what seat to ask for on the way back.
When I land on American Samoan soil I am, effectively, in the US, and I have traveled back in time: it was, again, my birthday!
“Wouldn’t it be cool to do this on New Year’s Eve?” I think to myself.
I left Western Samoa on the morning after my 32nd birthday. I celebrated my birthday on Savaai, the smaller of the two main Samoan islands, with fabulous white sand beaches and hotels mimicking the local “fale” houses with no walls, just a roof. The sound of the waves, about a meter away from my beach hut, had lulled me to sleep on that special day I had devoted to myself. Saavai has a unique way of welcoming the very few tourists who made it to that end of the world. Locals hang bananas on the bus station for tourists to enjoy and there are no dogs. Practically nobody wears shoes and given the way everybody lives, in the open, it is about the safest place in the world.
In the evening,back on the main island of Upolu, I met my Spanish dive instructor. It was indeed a revelation to find another Spaniard on this remote Pacific island. We bought Indian take-away and devoured it in his jungle hut with rats fighting on the roof and cockroaches running around. It was comfortable to be able to speak a familiar language and laugh the way you can only laugh with someone you share a list of childhood TV programming with. We had to leave the leftovers in the boxes, on top of the mosquito spray bottles to prevent the cockroaches and other insects from accessing them.
I walk out of the tiny plane in Pago Pago, American Samoa’s capital, as the feeling on my left leg slowly returns. I am greeted by American Border Police who does not pay much attention to the usual US security protocols. Island Life at its best. In fact, the security checks were so thin that, on the way back, I managed to board the plane without my passport being stamped as there was no officer when I passed through the Immigration Control so, unknowingly, I just went through.
After almost two months roaming the quieter Pacific islands, American Samoa was a shock. Within the first hour I drive past several petrol stations, two McDonald’s and a few shopping malls. With it, also comes the second most obvious difference: obesity, something which is starting to be a theme in some South Pacific nations but which is extreme in American Samoa, affecting as high as 94% of the population according to the World Health Organization.
American Samoans are twice the size of their neighbors half an hour flight away. Instead of the usual built frames and strong men that have made New Zealand’s rugby team unbeatable, I see large bellies. Originally from the same ancestors, American Samoa mother land’s penchant for fast-food and the relatively cheap price of junk food compared to the expensive imported healthy options is having a terrible impact on the wellness and health of the population.
This tiny American unincorporated territory thrives on tuna fishing, with a canning factory in the middle of the island clearly standing out, and smelling the part. Its second most important role is as a naval strategic position South of the Pacific. The recruitment center for the Army on Pago Pago ranks first in number of soldier enlistment in the entire US. The economic hardship on this isolated part of the world, where traditional self-sufficient agriculture was long ago abandoned, pushes the youth to enlist. But, despite their high levels of patriotism, Samoans are only US nationals, but not citizens and so they can’t vote for President. The island is the southernmost US territory and, together with Jarvis Island, the only South of the Equator.
After spending the night on a traditional fale in Samoa, the brick and mortar buildings on the American side are a contrasting sign of development. The ways of life are also dramatically different.
The two Samoa split at the end of the 19th century during the Treaty of Berlin when the World’s Powers divided the world. Western Samoa became German territory at first and eventually achieved independence from New Zealand in 1962, being the first island-state in the Pacific to do so. Fifty years later, the differences between the two countries are extreme.
Whereas Western Samoa evolved slowly and is still a lost paradise of white sand beaches, rugged mountains, cliffs and incredible beauty, American Samoa has fewer sand beaches, it is significantly smaller and it is one of the least visited places in the world. Not that Samoa receives a whole lot more visitors.
On my trip down to the Tourism Office I ended having the tourist officer all to myself on a personal tour of the island. She had not seen a tourist in days. It is believed that fewer than 5,000 people make it to this last frontier.
The level of development that American Samoa experienced also gave way to modern life while leaving the traditional ways of life, the Fa’a Samoa, in the past. American Samoa has been largely Americanized and chief titles or traditional ceremonies have generally disappeared.
Despite the apparent level of development that hits the visitor as soon as the airport is left behind, a look under the skin makes it obvious that American Samoa is not the happy go lucky neighbor of Western Samoa. Despite their geographical proximity, the two countries are as far from each other as their time difference. Standing at either side of the dateline, Western Samoa wakes up first in the world, every day, whereas Samoans are the last ones to go to bed. It is therefore the same time in both places, only a day apart.
One can’t help but wonder if progress and modernization is what has made the difference between the two and if, after all, this was good or bad for the population.

Re: Permission for a park picnic?
It's fine as long as you don't contravene bylaws.
A gazebo is fine as long as you take it away with you and don't obstruct any pathways.
As long as there is no loud music and - presumably - you're not selling alcohol - there won't be an issue.

Re: Northern line morning woes / Conservatives campaign / Massive rant!!!
I agree. I don't think the frequency of the trains is the issue. Unless there's an incident they are usually every 1-2 minutes during peak time. The problem is the sheer volume of people.

The notion of what a ‘cheap’ _phone_ is nowadays is a very different one from what we’ve encountered in the past. In this day and age, devices like the Moto G (2015) and Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 4.7-inch have all redefined what it takes to be an affordable smartphone of above average quality. Quite simply, they don’t have such an incredible specs sheet to captivate most folks from the iPhone or Galaxy league, but nonetheless, they offer a ton of value without too much compromise in design and performance.
Above that category, the industry has recently etched out a new segment that many refer to as ‘low cost’ premium smartphones – such as the Moto X Pure Edition, OnePlus 2, ZTE Axon Pro, and many more. Boasting prices less than $450 outright, they don’t seem to skimp out anywhere with their flagship-esque specs sheets. However, we have another new entrant into this particular space, the Google Nexus 5X.Being one of two brand new Nexus smartphones this year, the LG-made Google Nexus 5X not only aims to attract people with its pure Android 6.0 Marshmallow experience, but it’s also going to make many folks happy knowing that it’s been slapped with a competitive $379 starting cost – priced similarly to what was established with the Nexus 5 from a couple years ago. Price alone is a huge driving factor in making the 5X so compelling, but it needs so much more to captivate a wider audience, especially when we’ve been spoiled by so many great-performing, low-cost premium phones.
The humble styling is evident again with this one.
Every _phone_ has a certain threshold when it comes to design, which can be dictated by the price point it’s attempting to meet. For the LG-made Google Nexus 5X, there are no surprises whatsoever to see that it has been designed with modesty in mind, much like the Nexus 5. Plastic, that’s the only material found with its construction. It’s not elegant, nor edgy either, but the two-toned color of our particular model meshes well – more so when it’s the matte plastic variety, which does nicely to stay cleaner looking than glossy plastic.
Indeed, it is no-nonsense approach, evident in the way plastic is used in every facet of the phone’s design – including the buttons around its edges. Unlike the majority of phones nowadays, the Nexus 5X opts to favor a more compact and slim design, ensuring that it’s still largely comfortable to operate with a single hand thanks to its fitting size and 70.04% screen-to-body ratio. Therefore, there’s no excessive stretching needed from our thumbs to reach all corners of the display. And of course, since it employs a plastic construction, it’s pretty lightweight tipping the scales at only 136 grams.
Frankly, the design isn’t anything worth writing home about. It’s a simple plastic-bodied thing with edges that seamlessly curve around to meet uniformly with the rear casing. Some might say that its design is a bit on the boring and dull side, which is in contrast to the stylish and highly customizable design of the Moto X Pure Edition, but it’s a pure design that matches what the phone is all about.
Looking around the phone, we’re presented with very familiar ports and buttons – such as its power button and volume controls on the right edge, 3.5mm headset jack and microphone on the bottom, and SIM slot on the left. The speaker, though, has been positioned right below the display, providing for that ideal experience when it comes to watching videos because it projects audio toward us.
What’s arguably different with this phone, however, is that it comes with a USB Type-C port. Love it or hate it, this new connection is eventually going to phase out the traditional micro-USB connection that has been widely used on many devices close to a good decade by now, seeing that it offers some additional conveniences. For example, USB Type-C cables are reversible, so it doesn’t matter what side you’re inserting the cable into the port. The only downside here is that you can’t connect it to any USB port that isn't a Type-C one, like the ones on your computer, to charge or transfer data. To do that, you'll need to purchase the correct USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable.
Another important feature of the phone is situated on its back. No, it’s not the camera that juts out a little, but rather, the fingerprint sensor beneath it that’s adorned with a chrome outline. Humble might be the word that best associates with the Nexus 5X, so it’s somewhat of a surprise to find one here with the Nexus 5X. Luckily, it works just like any of the handful of recent smartphones with finger print sensors – requiring only for us to gently place our finger over the sensor for it to recognize and unlock. Technically speaking, we don’t need to press the power button first, seeing that we can quickly unlock the phone from a standby state with the screen off by just putting our finger over its scanner.
Seriously, it’s one very accurate screen that won’t disappoint.
There might be a ‘5’ in its name, but the Nexus 5X iss actually boasting a 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 IPS-LCD display with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 protecting it all. Although we’ve seen a handful of phones within its price point donning Quad-HD resolution, we’re not too bummed out to realize it’s 1080p resolution here with the Nexus 5X. In all fairness, it’s more than detailed to give it a high level of sharpness to the eye – so it’s not an issue whatsoever.
Cheap phones tend to employ low-quality displays, that’s just the typical expectance. However, that’s far from the truth here, as the Nexus 5X is fashioned with a pretty, color-accurate screen that boasts several top-notch qualities with its package. They include a 6800K color temperature, 2.31 gamma value, and a peak brightness output of 487 nits. All of this indicates that we’re dealing with a fairly high-quality panel, ensuring it’s visible even in challenging lighting conditions – and not being too cold in tone, so it’s neither too warm nor cold.
Oh yeah, did we forget to mention that it gets really close to nailing all the reference points in the sRGB color gamut? Well, it does, and we couldn’t be happier to find out that its color reproduction is nearly perfect. Looking very closely to its values, we can determine that it reproduces realistic, true-to-life colors. All told, this is one impeccable screen that doesn’t skimp out on the necessary goods, and for its price point and all, it’s pleasant to know that it’s able to achieve the same stellar results as other phones priced well above it.

In this day and age, devices like the Moto G (2015) and Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 4.7-inch have all redefined what it takes to be an affordable smartphone of above average quality.

There’s more to love with Android 6.0.
If you haven’t done so already, go and check out our full in-depth review about the sweetest and smartest Android version to date – Android 6.0 Marshmallow. You’ll be put up to speed regarding what’s new, different, and exciting about this latest release. In this review, however, we’ll focus on a few things that directly relate to the Nexus 5X’s experience.
The Material Design vibe that debuted with Lollipop is here to stay, and it hasn't been changed a bit. This is not a bad thing or an issue in our book, mind you - we still think that this refreshing design language is one of the best things that could have happened to Android. This means that you still get a host of card-based UI elements, paired with colorful icons, and predominantly white menus.
One of the more notable additions to the OS is the revamped app drawer. Gone are the horizontally-scrollable cards that were present in Lollipop! Marshmallow comes with a stock launcher that displays the installed apps in a neat vertical window, which is not comprising separate cards (the same applies to the widgets pane as well). As usual, it sorts the apps in an alphabetical order, yet some of the apps you use the most will appear at the top of the drawer page, providing you with easy access. There's also a nifty search bar at the very top of the app drawer that allows you to manually search for an app.
Another area in which Android 6.0 Marshmallow has received a visual update of sorts is the lock screen. In Lollipop, you had a dialer and camera shortcuts, but the new variation of the OS has ditched the former for a Google Now voice search shortcut. That's pretty understandable considering that Marshmallow puts emphasis on the improved pro-active and contextually-aware Google Now. Still, we miss the dialer shortcut a bit.
This is not everything that's changed within Marshmallow, of course – we have a surplus of minor other changes that aim to make the user experience more coherent. Some of the more notable ones that we will highlight are the revamped Apps menu, a new Do Not Disturb toggle in the quick settings pane (which allows you to easily configure it straight from the notifications panel), as well as a revamped stock phone app.
Taking a bite out of Motorola’s playbook, the Nexus 5X, along with Nexus 6 and 6P, provides us with useful information upon picking up the phone – or whenever notifications arrived. The time, date, and any relevant notifications are briefly displayed on the screen, offering us quick access to them without having the need to turn on the phone completely. Not only that, but it’s meant to reduce power consumption as well.
The changes that Google Now has scored are rather significant. The star of the show is Now on Tap, a proactive and contextually-aware functionality for Google Now. You enable it by holding the home button of your device and once you do so, the feature will "scan" the screen for places, people, movies, song names, others, and provide you with relevant actions. Sounds a bit dull on paper, but it's actually pretty exciting in real life, we promise!
Indeed, the camera can be accessed through the lock screen, but now there’s an even faster way of launching it. From a standby state (with the screen off), we can simply double press on the power button to launch the camera – ensuring that we’re never too late to capture a moment. While this isn’t a particularly new feature, as many other phones offer something similar, we’re nevertheless grateful to have it on board.
As a whole, there's little not to like about the newest Android version on the block. It's polished, doesn't suffer from any major issues (no "memory leak"!), potentially prolongs the time you can spend away from your charger, and feels way more mature than Lollipop. All of these are paired with the regular arsenal of unrivaled features that Android offers.
For purists, you can’t get any better than this. As much as Marshmallow introduces new things to the experience, those who have grown to absorb and become complacent to the rich features that accompany these other customized experiences, such as TouchWiz or LG’s take, they’ll miss having that higher degree of functionality coming back to stock Android. Those custom experiences take pride in their heavy multi-tasking, like having two apps running simultaneously, which isn’t something that can be done with stock Android at the moment.
Yes, we’ll point out stock Android’s simplicity and straightforwardness, something that doesn’t require such a high learning curve for newbies, but on the flip side, it’s going to be tough convincing those used to those rich and extensive features in other experiences to make the transition. Cohesively, stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow can adhere to the strict requirements of power users – it’s just a matter of being able leverage its tangible features to best suit each individual user.
The phone app has seen some small tweaks with the tab indicators — instead of text, those have been reverted to icons. Moving over to the call log section, it looks different as well, coughing up individual borders for each call interaction. And finally, the settings menu of the phone app has also been re-organized, with more options available at a first glance instead of buried within submenus.
Functionally, the core basics are well intact with the Google Calendar app, as it integrates with Google’s ecosystem seamlessly. Visually, there are some subtle changes, but for the most part, it retains the principles of Material Design. In addition, we can choose what view that suits our liking – whether it be a daily, weekly, or monthly one. Enhancing the experience comes from leveraging Marshmallow’s new ‘Now on tap’ feature, whereby it scans an appointment and populates relevant information back to us. For example, it’ll offer useful actions to appointments that are attached with specific destinations or addresses.
As for the rest of the core set of organizer apps, such as the Calculator and Clock, there’s honestly not much that’s different from what we’ve exposed to previously. At the core of it all, they function in the same manor – while sporting very subtle changes to their appearances. The Calculator’s functionality, for example, has been slightly expanded.
Gone is the email app that in previous years populated our other accounts, while Google’s own Gmail app handled, well, our Gmail account all by itself. There’s not even a placeholder for an icon as well, where it notified us in the past that the Gmail app is now the only option for checking email.
We have no complaints with that decision, since it’s logically arranged so that accounts can be viewing separately – or in just one universal inbox. Beyond that, it leverages the same set of functionality we get from using Gmail on a traditional desktop PC, so it’s well-endowed to handle even the most demanding of email users.
Jotting down messages using the stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow keyboard is just as effortless as it was before, mainly because it’s responsive, logically arranged, and offers us access to many of the numbers and punctuations from within the main layout by performing long presses on specific buttons. Now, if individual tapping isn’t your forte, then you can always resort to using its gesture typing for a more seamless process. And if you prefer going all voice, there’s the option too by just pressing on the corresponding icon just above the keyboard.
Don’t underestimate the Snapdragon 808, it has one wicked bite with its processing punch.
Although it’s not shocking revelation, more and more companies are choosing to go with the Snapdragon 808 chipset to power some of today’s prized stallions – and the Google Nexus 5X is no exception! Based on 64-bit architecture, this 1.8 GHz hexa-core processor is no joke when it comes to its real-world performance. Accompanied with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and the Adreno 418 GPU, it consistently delivers snappy responses just navigating around the phone. Therefore, it’s accompanied with instant responses with things such as opening apps or multi-tasking between them.
It, too, impressively achieves some good performances with it comes to graphics processing, putting it on par to formidable devices like the Note5 and LG G4. No doubt, 3D graphics are handled in a smooth manner by its hardware combination, establishing pretty good scores in synthetic tests using GFXBench by achieving better-than-average frame rates of over 38 FPS in the T-REX HD test. Yeah, it’s not the buttery smooth 60FPS rates that the iPhone 6s is able to procure, but nevertheless, it’s more than enough to handle the demands of most heavy gamers.
Available in either 16GB or 32GB formats, you’re better off going with the latter because 16GB is regarded nowadays as being insufficient for some people. That tally will undeniable fill up pretty quickly if you’re not apt to managing your content wisely, especially when 4K video recording takes up huge chunks of space. Unfortunately, this phone, along with the Nexus 6P, follow the trend of previous Nexus phones by not offering any sort of expansion whatsoever.
Even with the introduction of the Android 6.0 Marshmallow, there’s no significant changes to the way we experience surfing the web using Google’s Chrome browser – so it works in the same capacity we’re used to on other phones. Using the Nexus 5X for the occasion is likable on so many levels, even though it’s technically the lower spec’d phone between the two Nexus smartphones, seeing that embodies all of the rich features that make it such a joy to use. From its sharp screen, ample real estate, smooth performance, and fast page loads, there’s very little room for complaint here.
The Nexus 5X supports the following LTE bands: B1/2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/20/25/26/29. With its Qualcomm modem, the smartphone is compatible with carrier networks worldwide, providing for a hassle-free transition if you’re the global trotter type. Those customers who call Sprint or Verizon home, they’ll be pleased to know that the Nexus 5X has support for CDMA bands 0, 1, and 10 – so they’re not left in the dust with this latest Nexus.
And finally, it’s accompanied with the usual array of connectivity features we’d expect to find in a modern, well-respected smartphone. They consist of aGPS with GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.2, dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and NFC.
The camera experience leaves more to be desired, but this is one good-performing camera that’s highly versatile.
Google and LG's choice for a camera setup is certainly interesting, for the Nexus 5X features an "unprecedented" f/2.0 12.3-megapixel Sony camera sensor on its rear panel. The component in question is purportedly the Sony IMX377EQH5, which is a sensor originally made for camcorders. This piece of tech is supposed to eat the original Nexus 5's 8MP camera alive, for it comes with improved optics and super-sized 1.55 micron pixels — not as large as HTC's UltraPixel sensor (2 microns), but certainly larger than the 1.2 micron pixels in current camera sensors. This should help it capture more light in dark shots, making pictures better exposed and less noisy.
In addition, the sensor is capable of producing 4K videos, along with impressive 120 FPS slow-motion clips. The sensor can actually handle 4K and 2K video resolution recording at 60 frames per second, but Qualcomm's current chipsets, including the Snapdragon 808 used in the Nexus 5X, only go up to 30FPS.
The camera sensor is kept company by a laser autofocus system and dual-LED flash. The former will most certainly make for impressive auto-focus speed, while the latter will help the camera make the most out of situations where light is of insufficient quantity. On the front side, there's a 5MP camera with f/2.2 lens, which makes for a substantial upgrade over the Nexus 5's 1.3MP selfie snapper.
Turning our attention to the camera interface, powered by the Google Camera app, its appeal will mainly hinge on whether or not you like Google’s interpretation of what the shooting experience should be like. On a foundational level, it’s a simple and hassle-free experience that centers its focus on quickly snapping a shot on a moment’s notice – without being too distracted by other features. Speaking of features, it’s rather light with its package over what we get in other phones. It comes with Photo sphere, Panorama, Lens Blur, and HDR+, which is nice for casual shooters, but for serious ones, it’s just missing additional modes to adhere to their needs.
In particular, many of today’s high-end phones offer a diversified manual mode – where shooting parameters such as shutter speed, focus, ISO, and much more, can all be modified to our liking. Like we said, this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for the obvious point of capturing a moment you’d like to remember, we suppose it gets the job done effectively – and without distraction too.
Some people will have reservations regarding its 12.3-megapixel sized snapshots, but in all fairness, there’s nothing to be concerned about – it takes some pretty good-looking photos. If the iPhone 6s is an indication already, the Nexus 5X reaffirms the notion that a camera’s quality can’t be individually based on its megapixel count. Time after time, from outdoor scenes to indoor ones, the Nexus 5X establishes several, favorable results that make its camera so versatile to use.
The shots from Times Square in New York, in particular, show us that it’s quite capable at snapping sharp photos. While the overall shots look especially pleasing to the eye, where it’s accompanied with good details and bold colors, meticulously looking into the shots show us that there’s a hint of over-sharpening – causing finer details to become duller, while edges tend to be accentuated more. Under sunny conditions, the camera has a little bit of a tough time handling dynamic range. It’s not bad per se, but the blue sky contrasting the landscape scene tends to come out slightly over-exposed.
Fortunately, the HDR+ mode fixes things quite a bit by adjusting the exposure throughout the scene to offer consistency. Therefore, shadows and highlights receive the proper amount of treatment to paint a picture that’s more evenly exposed – without applying too much color saturation in the process, which sometimes gives photos that unworldly, artificial composition.
We’re also quite pleased by its performance indoors under artificial lighting, where conflicting light sources generally pose an issue for some phones. With the Nexus 5X, however, that’s hardly the case, proving that it’s very much adaptable. In the shots inside of a store, the camera does nicely to correct its white balance for the particular lighting condition. Again, we do see that there’s a challenge when it comes to dynamic range, as some of the labels on the bottles in the background are lost due to the over-exposure.
What’s pretty impressive, though, is how it manages to deliver acceptable results under low light as well! Yes, its favorable results can be attributed to its 1.55-micron pixels, where it’s able to catch in more light – producing images that are exposed properly, and with minimal detection of noise. Generally speaking, we’re very pleased with the outcome, even though fine details are dulled down tremendously. Obviously, it’s mostly noticeable if we’re to either crop an image or just zoom in, but the overall capture is pretty likable.
Oh yeah, you won’t be disappointed either by the performance of its front-facing 5-megapixel camera. Details are so abundant that we can make out some individual strands of hair on our head, as well as some details in the background.
Similarly, the Nexus 5X takes some better-than-average videos too – aided by the fact that it has 4K video capture on board. First and foremost, there’s plenty of detail going with its 4K capture. Secondly, it manages to produce bold colors that favor a slightly warmer tone. Thirdly, audio recording is spot on, resulting in voices that are bold and filled with fidelity. Our only qualms with the experience relate to its lack of stabilization, resulting in some shaky movements if you’re not still (made more profound with digital zooming), and its slower focus adjustment with the 4K recording option. Besides that, it’s pretty much a home run for this one!
A weak speaker and headphone jack subdues its audio experience.
Since we’re dealing with pure Android here, photos and videos are handled by the Google Photos app. If you use this on other Android phones, you’ll fit in quite easily here with the Nexus 5X, considering that it’s the same exact experience. Not only is the Google Photo app the vessel for viewing our stored content, but there are additional features and tools, such as cloud syncing and various editing tools, which extend the app’s usefulness beyond just being a generic hub.
The music player, not surprisingly at all, is handled by the Google Play Music app. By now, anyone using Android should be familiar with this player, seeing that it’s commonly pre-loaded on most Android devices. Knowing that, its layout and operation isn’t a surprise. Superficially, it’s tasked to play locally stored content, but if you happen to be an All Access subscriber, you can stream songs that are included in Google’s catalog.
Speaking of audio quality, its single front-firing speaker is a bit on the tepid side, where it musters up 69.2 dB of power. That tally is undoubtedly under-powered in contrast to the competition, but at least there’s no strained output when it’s at the highest volume setting. Yes, it’s a bit weak on the bass, making for a performance that lacks substance.
Things don’t get any better either going with the headphone jack, which sadly churns out 0.287 V of output. That’s excessively weak, and it’s made profound the moment we put on a pair of headphones. Similar to its speaker performance, it’s also on the thin and light side here – where it’s missing any meaningful bite to its performance. To be fair, though, there are equalizer settings that allow us to adjust its quality to a better level, but at the default setting, it’s just disappointing.
When it comes to watching videos, however, the experience is just as ordinary and generic as they come. Even though it’s more than effective to watch all sort of video content, since its performance is smooth and skip-free, there’s no multi-tasking element that would enable us to do other things. Essentially, the focus here is just to watch the video, and to that degree, it gets the job done. We just wish it offered more.
Scratchy voices on both ends make it challenging for voice calls.
It’s not terrible, but it’s certainly not great either. Yes, there are some challenges with the calling performance of the Nexus 5X, but for the most part, we’re able to handle conversations without having the need to constantly repeat ourselves. Through the earpiece, as well as on the other end of the line, voices can sometimes sound scratchy, which is made worse if there’s a lot of background noise to contend with. With the speakerphone, too, it’s a bit underpowered in tone – so it drowns out easily in noisy situations.
Just as long both parties are able to utter concise sentences, the experience is tolerable enough to accept.
Average, that pretty much sums up its battery performance.
The Nexus 5X comes with a 2700mAh non-removable battery. It’s not a huge tally, but it’s neither a small one too – so considering its screen size, the capacity seems proportionate. In our custom battery benchmark test, the Nexus 5X scored 6 hours and 25 minutes in our test. This is around an average result, a bit below the scores of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and even further below the Apple iPhone 6s score.
Do keep in mind, though, that Android 6.0 Marshmallow introduces 'Doze', a battery saving feature that puts the phone into a more efficient state of sleep, and this boost in stand-by time is not accounted for in our battery test. In our real-world usage, however, it hits that required mark of providing all-day battery – enough to get us through a solid 8 hour work shift, yet still more in the tank to get us going until it’s bedtime. However, we still highly recommend giving it nightly charges, in order for it to be in a good capacity come the following day.
Interestingly enough, the new USB Type-C connection enables the Nexus 5X to achieve a respectable charge time of 100 minutes, which is significantly better than the 150 minutes the iPhone 6s requires, but still nowhere as fast-charging as the Galaxy S6’s mark of 78 minutes.
This year alone, we’ve seen several smartphones that redefined the value of what a smartphone should offer. From the super affordable ones priced below the $200 mark, such as the Moto G (2015) and Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 4.7-inch, to the ‘low-cost premium’ phones in the $350 to $450 range, we really have to think about what the $379-priced Google Nexus 5X has to offer over the competition.
Firstly, it’s a Nexus device, which means that it offers the purest interpretation of what an Android phone should be. Simplicity and straightforwardness, those are two principles that the Nexus 5X holds dearly close to its heart. In addition to offering a hassle-free and meaningful experience, the Google Nexus 5X has the distinguished honor of receiving those lovable Android updates much sooner than other phones. That, right there, is reason enough why so many enthusiasts and purists love it.
Beyond the pure Android experience, the Nexus 5X is also a reasonably spec’d smartphone in its price range. Not only that, but it manages to perform on a high level to ensure that the entire experience is seamless – never stuttering, always moving smoothly. And it’s wonderful to know that it’s been blessed with some high-quality gear as well, evident by its very accurate screen colors and versatile camera. For the price and all, the Google Nexus 5X is a great-performing Android smartphone, if not the best there is.
On a related note, this year is a special one for the Nexus family, mainly because the 5X follows the same path as its predecessor, the Nexus 5, as in being an affordably priced, pure Android device. In contrast, the Nexus 6 reverted back to a more costly premium package last year. Going back to the strategy of offering a competitively priced phone, the Nexus 5X has the appeal to attract hardened Android users who were reluctant to fork over the disposable income for last year’s Nexus 6. If pricing is a driving factor for your purchase, then the Nexus 5X undoubtedly is a logical option.

"We carry out Portable Appliance Testing to ensure all electrical equipment is safe to use. Through certification and annual reminders for inspection, our customers know they are in safe hands."
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Generally, electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but some types of defect can only be found by testing. At BCS Electrics, our standard process is to carry out both visual inspection as well as test the appliance to ensure we pick up on all types of electrical safety defects.
BCS Electrics use a check list as part of our electrical maintenance service. This includes an audit of all equipment, followed up by our visual inspection and testing process. Once equipment has passed the PAT, we then apply a visual sticker to remind you of the re test date.
We provide our customers with a certificate to complete the process and keep a report on file for our own records. This gives our customers the reassurance that all their portable appliances are safe, they are recorded as such and through our timely reminders, we are able to keep them up to date on regular inspection dates.
To discuss Portable Appliance Testing in more detail or to arrange a site inspection to start the PAT process, please contact the BCS Electrics team on 0113 235 0400.

We’re a big fan of FreeBSD’s Bhyve hypervisor, including writing an open source lightweight management interface for it called BMT.
While setting up a Debian 8 guest VM we ran into a perplexing issue where networking was not working correctly.
PING 172.17.66.1 (172.17.66.1) 203(231) bytes of data.
PING 172.17.66.1 (172.17.66.1) 202(230) bytes of data.
The solution was to switch Bhyve over to use the new Intel E1000 network card emulation driver instead of VirtIO. This is achieved by replacing the virtio-net with e10000 in the -s flag’s options list of the bhyve flags. If you’re using BMT simply set VM_NET_DRIVER="e1000" in the guest config.
After that no issues were reported. This seems specific to Debian 8 OSes, Debian 9 had no such problem even on the same guest instance in our testing.

Meat The End is a short documentary from Unilad about the real price of meat and other animal products.
By presenting the huge destructive consequences of eating animal products, this short film makes a strong case for a global transition to a vegan diet.
Featuring Gary Yourofsky, James Aspey, Kate Powell and Cowspiracy's director Keegan Kuhn, the film also touches the ethical side of eating animal products in great detail.
Meat The End is Unilad's first original documentary.

Is there anything I can use to convert FLV files to something more common, like AVIs?
It crashed the first time but it didn't the second time. Whee! Something's kinda working! Thanks.
Riva (along with nearly all other flv transcoding programs will fail when the video has a lot of still frames. Each identical frame will be merged into the space of one.
There is a program called Moyea Flash to Video Converter I found a while ago which uses a live capture of the FLV file. That means it doesn't have the same problems as all of the other converters. I do believe it costs money though, unfortunately. Possibly you could find a similar product.
I finished what I was doing with the FLV converter. I didn't seem to have any problems with merged frames.
Anyway, I don't have any use for the converter any more, but if I ever do I'll keep your suggestion in mind.

Because kids learn in different ways, the program includes a variety of multi-sensory tools that appeal to visual, auditory, and experience-based learners. With the Hooked on Phonics® step-by-step approach, kids learn about letters and sounds, learn how to put them together to form words, and then utilize these skills to read great stories and books. Each lesson takes about 20 minutes, making the complete Learn to Read kit perfect for parents and homeschoolers looking for an effective and fun reading program. Each lesson follows the same approach: Learn, Practice, Read, Celebrate.
Learn:Your child learns to read new words by watching the lesson on the DVD or online and then reading the new words in the workbook.
Practice:Your child then practices reading the new sound combinations and words in the workbook. This will reinforce the lesson and provide a tangible application.
Read: Now your child puts it all together and is ready to read a great story. Every storybook is composed of words that your child has learned to read so far in the program.
Celebrate:Celebrate success after each lesson by placing a sticker in the workbook. This also provides a helpful marker to remember where to begin next time.
This multi-sensory approach makes the program ideal for learners of all types, as well as parents and homeschoolers who want to help their children become confident, lifelong readers!
36 Original Storybooks written to reinforce the skills your child learns in the program, including 8 books written by award-winning children’s book authors such as Rosemary Wells and David McPhail.
8 DVD’s filled with music videos and fun introductions to each lesson, where letters come to life.
Video streaming of All DVD content is available online or on any device.
Online access to MyHOP (My.HookedonPhonics.com) for all lessons and bonus content.
• Fun, interactive spelling games on CD-ROM, so learning spelling isn’t a chore, but something your child will actually enjoy! Hooked on Spelling System Requirements: Windows 2000 or later. Mac OS X v. 10.5 or earlier.
I started using the grade K books with my twins (age 4) this summer, and quickly discovered that while it was a great match for my daughter, my son still needed help learning his letter names and sounds. So I then purchased this set, which contains grades preK through 2. I’ve started using the preK books with my son, it is working well. Both children like the books, and they really like putting their stickers on when they complete a page successfully. I think the material is well paced and clear.
I bought this for all my kids to hopefully use, but right now am using it for my 4 yo, turning 5 in a few months. She knows all her letters and their sounds, so we could have skipped the pre-k stuff in my opinion. It never hurts to review I guess. I looked over the level 3 materials (kindergarten) and am very excited to start with her tomorrow! It seems to be a good balance of teaching new things and reviewing old stuff (I think) while keeping it light and fun and exciting. I like that each lesson is not too overwhelming or long. You can easily do one a day! I also love the online extras that go along with each lesson, especially the letter printing/writing instructional video clips and practice sheets. Side note on that though, I was not able to access the online materials with my isbn or whatever other number it has you enter, but I contacted hooked on phonics directly and they sent me a code that allowed me access.
I jumped the gun and bought this last year (2016)on a sale for my not even 2yo! He was easily able to identify his alphabet and so we just used the flashcards and workbooks (preK) to point out the letters and sounds. A few months ago my now almost 3yo is flying through the preK workbooks, loving the videos and able to do all the activities. We moved on to the kindergarten level 3 weeks ago (start of July 2017 on his birthday) and he has picked up all the words! The videos are catchy but helpful, the books are 50/50 in my opinion. We loved a few and read the others just a couple times (preK) and so far the phonics books (kindergarten level) are great! We are very happy with the program and look forward to doing the rest of the levels!
My son is doing awesome with this program. He needed a boost with reading & I am truly believing this is the one!! Thank you.
My three years old looks forward to sitting on my lap watching and discussing the videos. My one year old loves trying to sing along with the songs.
25 Years ago I used hooked on phonics for my sons. I started reading to them in my womb. When they were 2 and 3 years they were able to read stories and pronounce so many words. My son received valedictorian for Kindergarden and first grade . They teachers were just so amazed. The reason for the late store is that my sons now have children of the own. My 23 month old is grand daughter is just like her dad. So he wants her to start now and see where it takes her. My other son said that his daughter is a little lazy. And he declare that hooked on phonic is the key to his problem. I will order this for them for xmas. My sons first memory of fun learning was hooked on phonics.

So I planned for us to go away that weekend, so she could have a special birthday but I still felt like something was done for our anniversary.
She went on a little steam train and a “road” train which she thoroughly enjoyed as she loves trains at the moment. She also met three lemurs that were walking along the fence next to us and had a monkey climb under her feet to the ground from the walkway.
We had some lunch at one of the themed restaurants and we bought her some cake and we sung happy birthday to her then she blew out an imaginary candle. My heart freaking melted I tell you!
When we got back I spotted some random floating things above some buildings near our hotel. They were huge inflatable kite/floats so we of course went on the hunt for them and we weren’t disappointed.
The photo really doesn’t do them justice to be honest. We had food and just chilled in our hotel for the night so we were well rested for our boat adventure.
We checked out, had breakfast then drove down towards Piel Island. There is a castle ruins on the island and you have to get a ferry to get to it. I use the term ferry loosely! It was like a fishing boat but Ra-Ra enjoyed herself tremendously she called it the noisy boat which again was adorable.
We went through the ruins to the stone beach the other side and found crab remains everywhere! I thought I would be clever and stand on one of the rocks just off the beach in the water and lo and behold I got damn well soaked, I’m just glad I took my socks off whilst we were still in the car 00Steve found it highly hilarious the twatbag. Although if it was the other way around I probably would still be laughing.
The downside was we were told the ferry was every 10-15 minutes we waited 1.5 hrs as I had a night shift and the journey home was 3 hrs I was less than impressed with that. But we all had a really nice time, after everything we have been through this year it was nice to have some family time where we didn’t have to impose on friends. We definitely made some memories which was the whole point!

The pain of golfer's elbow is located on the inside of the elbow. The pain can radiate down the inside of the arm towards the hand. The symptoms often occur with repetitive DIY-tasks or when performing household tasks.
The term "golfer's elbow" is misleading, because only a small number of people with golfer's elbow actually play golf.
The forearm flexors are the muscles that allow the wrist and the fingers to flex (bend). They join up at the inside of the elbow, where they attach to the bone via tendons.
In the case of golfer's elbow, the muscle tension of the forearm flexors is increased. This increased muscle tension causes the tendon attachments of these muscles on the inside of the elbow to become irritated, resulting in pain symptoms.
The symptoms often develop gradually. The golfer's elbow can develop with activities that require daily frequent and prolonged tightening of the forearm flexors. For example, when working with tools that must be held in hand all day and when playing golf. Climbers are also at increased risk.
Stabbing or nagging pain on the inside of the elbow, at the level of the medial epicondyle (this is the hard lump on the inside of the elbow).
The pain can occur when forcefully making a fist (with extended elbows).
The pain is provoked by lifting an object with an underhand grip.
Pressure on the inside of the elbow can provoke the symptoms.
Sometimes the pain radiates down the inside of the arm towards the hand.
The symptoms can also occur at rest.
The symptoms fluctuate throughout the affliction, ranging from phases with a lot of symptoms to phases with few symptoms.
There has not been much thorough research into the treatment of golfer's elbow. Current insights suggest that eccentric muscle strengthening and stretching exercises of the forearm flexors can result in recovery. The physiotherapist can assist you in this.
