In my free time, I love to spend some quality time with my friends and family. Next, to that, I like shopping and travelling to tropical beaches and beautiful cities. and I really like to do active things and I love playing volleyball, I play that quite a lot.
My friends and family are the most important to me. They always support me, trough everything. Happiness and health is, of course, also very important to me. That is what makes a person, I guess.
Bali! Bali has beautiful beaches and the nature is amazing. It's so different from that in the Netherlands. The colours of the nature and beaches are wonderful. Bali has so much beautiful places to discover! | 2019-04-25T06:11:09 | https://spacemodels.nl/anne/ |
The threat of zika-virus bearing mosquitos are such a fear that the South Korean Olympic team has taken unusual measures. Authorities have worked to ensure that the uniforms of South Korean athletes helped to decrease the chances of being bit by a mosquito.
Their uniforms will make sure that legs are covered to the ankles and the arms are covered to the wrists. As you can see in the video and pictures, no shorts or shorts sleeves. Additionally, official wear of the South Korean Olympic squad will be infused by mosquito repellent.
As you can see in this link, other nations are fashioning wear that expose arms and legs. Since bartering among athletes is a huge sub-economy during the Olympics, as athletes trade a national pin, shirt, hat or jacket for those of another nation’s, it wouldn’t surprise me if the South Korean jackets become a hot item if the zika scare climbs another notch.

First the players explored Tikal, next they developed Java, and now they can help build Mexica. The Aztec prophesy foretold they would build their home where they found an eagle on a cactus eating a snake. After years of seraching they found their eagle on an island in lake Texcoco and there began building a city. Using dams and the natural landscape, they built a city with districts separated by roads of water and connected by many bridges. | 2019-04-21T22:59:49 | http://riograndegames.com/Game/142-Mexica |
About me I am a pro trader with 10+ years experience trading forex and futures from Sydney. My hobbies are trading, kite surfing and photography.
Eur/Aud short. Get in while it's hot!!!
A very decent looking Euro Aussie short. It's at an important level of resistance. Get in while it's hot hot hot. I'm already short from the top tick.
Decent looking opportunity for a kiwi long here. Still ok to get in although I'm already long from last week.
After getting B/e on this trade a week ago, I'm back in this short from 0.7700. We should see it reach 1st target at a minimum now.
Been shorting this one for 3 weeks now. I hope we finally get to see the downward momentum that I was hoping for. Last line in the sand now. Make or break. Targets indicated on the chart. Stop above red box of course.
First target was already reached on this nice short on the Kiwi, I'm holding half of my position hoping to get past the 0.7240 area.
I have been waiting for this Aussie to hit this level for weeks. I'm all over this short. Very high probability setup. Although we always have to keep in mind that even those can fail sometimes :) Stop above the high at 0.7800 and target at about 0.7525. Nice R/R too!
Good place to buy Eur/Aud from this strong support. We should see further upside hopefully.
Great opportunity to short the Aussie here, it's currently basing here but should sort itself out eventually. Good risk/reward ratio.
If we manage to move higher early in the week, there is a great level ahead if upwards momentum shows signs of slowing. I will be all over this one :) Stop above the highs, Target around 1.0670 as a minimum.
Good opportunity but will be conservative with my target depending on how momentum develops. Target as marked, stop below the green area. Good luck!
The Loony has been moving really nicely and it's getting ready for liftoff. Buy Area marked with stops and targets. But momentum will have to be on our side so I will only enter if it is.
EUR/AUD looking bullish now. Good long opportunity.
Limit order got triggered while I was asleep during Asia session. This may well go to new lows but my initial target is 1.0430 with a stop at 1.0700. Lets hit it.
Long GBP/USD coming up. Great Opportunity!
I have been waiting for this long for quite some time. It's a great opportunity to long the Pound from the daily support down there. Once price dips into our buy area, I will be hitting buy buy buy! :) More trade ideas in the related ideas link.
Perfect short opportunity on the Loony off of the daily highs here. Momentum is still screaming higher, so I will be cautious with taking profits and not expect an all out reversal here. But we should see some rejection before price will break through the highs.
Am long AUD from this buy area here with stop below it. We are targetting the green line but may take some profit off at 0.7250 first. | 2019-04-24T12:31:24 | https://www.tradingview.com/u/tradingmakesmoney/ |

Al-Hana Mosque is billed as the largest and most popular mosque in Langkawi. A peach-and-gold structure situated to the west of the picturesque Lagenda Langkawi Dalam Taman, along Persiaran Putra, the mosque is topped with a gold onion-shaped dome and enjoys a great location close to the waterfront.
Also known as Masjid Al- Hana, it is located in Kuah and the whitewashed shrine is close to many of the island’s best-known tourist attractions including Dataran Lang and the Kompleks Jeti Pelancongan. Plus, it is only a short walk away from many of Kuah’s duty-free stores.
Featuring Moorish-style architecture, Masjid Al-Hana is not as ornate as some of Malaysia’s other mosques but the structure is eye catching. Erected in 1959, it incorporates Islamic motifs from Uzbekistan into its Malay-style architecture and follows conventional mosque design: there is a gilded main dome and several smaller peach-coloured domes surrounding it.
The main prayer hall has carvings and selected verses from the Quran etched into the walls and fittings; the wooden minbar – a pulpit in the mosque where the imam (leader of prayer) stands to deliver sermons – is elaborately carved.
As with most mosques in the country, shoes must not be worn inside the carpeted prayer hall, women should be modestly dressed (clothing that covers the body from the wrists to the ankles) and visitors are required to remain quiet as a sign of respect to those in prayer. | 2019-04-26T12:42:48 | http://www.99mustsee.com/Malaysia/Al-Hana-Mosque-Langkawi-Bare-Attractions-1310 |

The robbers, precise as they were about meeting the two Brinks security guards on the 11th floor of the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:30 A.M., were a little fuzzier about their exit from the building once the money was in their hands.
As they left, half a dozen security cameras captured images of their unmasked faces for posterity.
And as Brooklyn boys universally disliked in their neighborhood, their decision to return there proved calamitous. Before the sun had set, friends and neighbors by the dozens were calling police hot lines, hoping to collect a $26,000 reward for the thieves' capture.
Melvin Desmond Folk was the first to fall, turned in by his wife, according to police investigators. Michael Reed came next, handcuffed in the home of an elderly acquaintance who was feeding him cookies.
And the lone holdout, Richard Gillette, has three law enforcement agencies in hot pursuit as well as a host of civilian trackers hoping to win the crime-stoppers lottery. | 2019-04-20T14:50:55 | https://www.nytimes.com/1998/01/18/weekinreview/january-11-17-dog-day-at-the-trade-center.html |
Lindsey Myhre is a 35-year-old Director of Accounting and Finance at STCU ($1.8B) in Liberty Lake, Washington.
Information is power, and Business Intelligence is near and dear to my heart.
At STCU, we are always looking for ways to help our members and help our employees make more informed decisions. As the Director of Accounting and Finance for STCU, I believe numbers play a large part in that. How can we make progress on such a big idea? What is big data and Business Intelligence? What is Member Intelligence? What are Business Rules? Where can we find data? How do we evaluate our existing data needs?
To discover the answers to these questions, I have created the Business Intelligence Steering Committee, something I affectionately call BISC. This committee is comprised of a team of credit union experts varying in areas of expertise including Finance, Technology, Operations, Lending, and Marketing. This team tackles the big questions, makes the decisions, and will make it happen.
Information comes in many shapes and sizes. It comes in many packages. It can be found in a phone system, core processing system, third party systems, and market and peer data just to name a few. Imagine a world where we can jump to the answer before the member has to ask. | 2019-04-20T15:19:14 | http://www.nexttopcreditunionexec.com/blog/applicant-29-lindsey-myhre |
The local offer provides information on what services children, young people (aged 0 to 25 years) and their families can expect from a range of local agencies in Stockport.
More information on the local offer in Stockport and wider SEND reforms is available via the following links.
Brookside Pre-school is committed to the inclusion of all children. All children have the right to be cared for and educated to achieve the best possible outcomes, to share opportunities and experiences and develop and learn alongside their peers. We provide a positive and welcoming environment where children are supported according to their individual needs.
We recognise that some children may have additional needs that may require particular help, intervention and support. At all times we will work alongside each child’s parents and any relevant professionals to share information, identify needs and help the child and their family to access the support they need.
In accordance with our admissions policy, we are committed to providing a childcare place, wherever possible, for children who may have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). We ensure that a good relationship is built up with Parents/carers right from the very first visit to Brookside where we will discuss your child's interests and abilities. Firstly for children with SEND we discuss with parents/carers the nursery’s ability to make any reasonable adjustments, assess risk and discuss the support that your child would require in order to provide the necessary standard of care.
All children are offered the opportunity to attend settling in sessions where they can explore our Pre-school environment along side parents until they are ready to be left at Pre-school gradually for a short period of time. These settle sessions are completely flexible and are tailored to the child's needs. You will have the opportunity to discuss your child's needs and abilities during these settle sessions and can tell us everything that we might need to know.
We monitor children's progress closely against the Development Matters in the Early years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and carry out regular assessments which are shared with parents during parents evenings and progress reports. There may be occasions where we might pick up slight delays in development or suspect that your child may have learning difficulties and/or a disability that has not previously been acknowledged. If your child’s key worker has identified a possible individual need, they will discuss this with you in private, and plan together to support your child’s learning and development. If we feel that referrals need to be made to seek the support of other professionals such as a speech and language therapist, with your consent we would complete a referral form. We work closely with parents and any relevant professionals to establish the child’s needs and to secure any action that may be required.
· attending any assessment or review meetings with the local authority/professionals.
· attend Stockport’s SENDCO meetings to network and keep up-to-date with training opportunities and local/national initiatives .
When your child makes the transition to school or moves to a new child care setting we would invite your child’s new key worker/teacher and SENDCO to attend sessions with your child to help them become familiar with them and to discuss your child’s individual needs and personality. It may also be possible to arrange for your child’s key worker to attend settling in sessions at your child’s new setting with them, to help promote a smooth transition.
We will hold a transition meeting at your convenience, to plan transition for your child into their new setting, giving the new setting time to make necessary plans for any changes they may need to make. With your consent we would share sharing target on your child’s additional support plan, and minutes of review meetings along with any other information that may be relevant to your child. | 2019-04-20T14:22:43 | http://www.brooksidepreschool.co.uk/page/local-offer |

Well this year's birthday celebration was a first...although a trip to the seaside wasn't that unique...a trip to Peppa Pig World certainly was!
Even when Baby R was just a bump we promised E a trip if he was a good big brother and he really has been. Always wanting to kiss her, always telling me if she is crying and always putting her dummy back in. So another deal had been made.
We drove down to the coast on my birthday in one go, not bad going for a 3 hour drive with an 8 week old and a 3 year old. We went for lunch in the lovely Lymington at a really nice boutique hotel, Stanwell House Hotel, which offered a great lunch and children's menu. A great find considering we were about to go in to a Costa for a sandwich! After a feed for all of us we headed down to find the sea and had an ice cream at the harbour.
We then set off to continue the journey to Bournemouth to check into our room for the night, a Premier Inn Family Room. A sleep on the way revived us all (apart from our driver, Mr B!) and after a little play in our hotel room, possibly the biggest I have ever seen, we headed down to Bournemouth for dinner.
If I have ever been to Bournemouth then I can't remember it but we were pleasantly impressed. A very long beach, a pier to wander down, boats to spot and money to 'gamble'. Time was ticking on and tummy's rumbling so we went to find somewhere to eat. I had seen Aruba mentioned in a leaflet and am so glad we decided to try it, despite the many stairs to get in. It was as much a bar as it was a restaurant but the atmosphere and music with it being my birthday was perfect. Some great menu choices, especially for vegetarian Mr B and I even had a cheeky glass of wine.
The perfect birthday, even if E didn't go to sleep til about 11pm!
The next day meant Peppa Pig World and despite us trying to leave early we were too busy eating breakfast. Even though we didn't arrive until 11am it wasn't too busy, and was much better than I was expecting. Paulton's Park where it is based was very well looked after, lovely gardens but the Peppa Pig area was clearly the place to be. We probably queued for a maximum of 40 minutes for any one ride and went on Daddy Pig's cars, Peppa's house, the Dinosaur Adventure, Helicopter Flight, Grandpa Pig's little train (baby R even joined us on that one), Grandpa Pig's boat trip and the play area. The food was reasonable and there were plenty of places to sit and park the buggy. We would definitely go back but might try and wait a couple of years first!
We left around 4pm and with a sleepy E in the car headed back. After freshening up at the hotel we decided that Poole harbour was worth a visit. There was a Mini meet on the harbour so there was lots of reminiscing from me about my first car, and no interest whatsoever from E. We walked around for a bit and chose Pizza Express for dinner, a bit of a cop-out but you know it will always be good.
Soon it was Saturday and our last day. Despite being at the seaside for a couple of days we still hadn't ventured on to the sand and with a day of sun forecast we headed to Boscombe Beach. It was only a 10 minute walk according to Google and after a look on satellite view it looked like we could walk their via a park. Well I am glad I found that shortcut, it was beautiful. Called the Boscombe Chine Gardens it was a Victorian park with an adventure golf course and great kids playground. Well we were more than impressed when we reached the seafront, it was stunning. First, a quick stop at a shop to buy a towel and couple of bottles of water, we had not come prepared for the Mediterranean temperatures! A walk along the front and we picked our spot on the beach and dragged the pushchair kicking and screaming on to the sand, I am not loving having to take the pushchair everywhere again! Within 30 seconds E and Mr B were paddling and then I headed in for R's first paddle. It was obviously met with cries but that's another milestone passed. After a couple of hours on the beach, two wet boys and two hot girls we headed for lunch. We spotted Urban Reef, a great modern looking, family friendly restaurant. The food was very nice and I went all out and ordered half a lobster. Well it was my birthday weekend after all.
We headed home with the usual conversations of 'shall we move to the seaside' knowing we never will. But we were refreshed and bizarrely slightly sun kissed!
I'm linking up with Country Kids again, championing the outdoors!
As I am sure is the case in many homes The Gruffalo is a popular choice at bedtime. When I saw that the Forestry Commission were helping to celebrate the Gruffalo's 15th anniversary with a number of activities I was intrigued.
After a quick search I found our closest Gruffalo sculpture and activity trail was at Sherwood Pines in Nottingham and although an hours drive away we decided to add it to our Summer to do list.
We had never been to Sherwood Pines but were pleasantly impressed. Despite the rain and being quite ill prepared (I keep forgetting you have to remember so many extra things with a baby!) we ventured out of the car to track down the cafe to purchase the activity leaflet. I wouldn't bother with that again although we did all get a sticker!
Attention quickly turned to trying to find the trail. The first thing we spotted was the Gruffalo. At first we weren't sure whether this was the sculpture we thought we would be looking for in the deep dark woods. Turned out it was. Luckily E wasn't bothered and still wanted to explore. It did however seem a bit strange to put the 'treasure' of the hunt at the beginning?
We carried on to find the trail which included all the characters you would recognise, the mouse, owl, snake. There were other activities along the way which would probably help keep older children's attention but E was a little too young.
We will definitely be going back to Sherwood Pines in the future and there is another chance to meet the Gruffalo in August, a little closer to home in Leicestershire for the Gruffalo tour. We may just have to convince E that that Gruffalo is still just a 'pretend' one!
I am also linking up with Country Kids!
I love the idea of having a fruitful garden and calm, uncluttered home interior.
I am also joining in with this week's Floral Friday by Emily Quinton at Make Light.
I love food. I just love other people to make it for me!
Mr B has always done the cooking. This actually started by accident as Mr B was always the first home from work in the evening as I had a long commute. Then the less I cooked the more I feared it. There has also been some catastrophic failures on my part (thinking evaporated and condensed milk were the same!) which haven't helped my confidence. Then there is the added complication that Mr B is vegetarian.
With maternity leave approaching I decided I wanted to 'earn my keep' and start preparing dinner in the week, well at least a couple of evenings anyway. I also wanted to try and save some money on the groceries, to move away from the nearly-ready meals and to stop throwing food away which we had become terrible at. These past couple of weeks, as I have started to find my stride as a mother of two, I have started to experiment with some recipes.
I figured the key to succeeding in this must be the planning so I have been pinning to my 'food' board on Pinterest for quite some time. That has been a great source of inspiration, along with the contents of the fridge and the BBC Good Food website has also become my new best friend.
We'll enter my third week next week when I've got mushroom and bean hotpot, veggie bolognese, lentil chilli, spinach lasagne and chickpea curry to choose from. That's if Mr B can keep himself out of the kitchen!
Well this is a very belated post but I had forgotten how hard it is to get even 10 minutes to yourself with a newborn baby, let alone with a 3 year old too.
So baby R arrived, slightly by surprise, on the 9th May 2014. I really need to find the time to write up her birth story which was amazing but in the meantime here are our first few weeks. How is she a week old already?!
She arrived perfectly and her big brother loved her immediately.
Feeding is going well (especially compared to last time) and she has been putting on weight since she was born. At one point at least 1oz per day. She is still small but a lot bigger than the 6lb 1oz she was at birth.
She has fitted into our family with ease and is happily very content.
The weeks are going far too fast and we are starting to go out and meet new friends and reconnect with old.
Life with a family of four is pretty damn good!
I knew it had been sometime since I took part in Tara's weekly linky, The Gallery. What I didn't expect was when I checked when it was, it is almost 3 years ago!
My last link up was in June 2011 and focused on E being 4 months old. Now as we await the arrival of baby number 2 (less than a week and a half away!) it was quite a timely read and made me remember how precious those first few weeks and months are. They really don't last long.
This week's prompt is 'faces'. One thing we have always done with E is to take family selfies. I love doing this as they really catch a moment. The expressions, the location, the feelings at the time. Here are three of our most recent taken at Christmas and on our holiday back in March.
I really am looking forward to there being four of us in the next family shot!
If you hadn't guessed it yet I am linking up with Sticky Fingers The Gallery.
Step 1... don't ask me!
E has been a major part of our journey with baby. Right from when he was eating his dinner with Mr B and I read out the pregnancy test result. He has even chosen her name (more on that in the future!) and is constantly hugging and kissing my bump.
He's always asking 'what's baby doing', 'does baby want some juice', 'is baby OK mummy?'. Occasionally he will kick me when playing and when I tell him to be careful the answer is always 'it wasn't me it was baby' said with his trademark cheeky smile.
I, being an only child, always wanted to be able to have a brother or sister for E but part of me was always worried about him feeling left out and us not being able to devote as much attention to him. I guess this is what all parents go through when deciding to have a second baby. However, these past 8/9 months he has really taken to the idea and is very excited about getting his new little sister.
The shouts of 'baby get out' are becoming more often and he wants baby here now. We have tried to explain that she is not going to do much when she arrives - just cry, sleep and have cuddles. Despite this I do wonder whether he thinks she's going to come out a fully working playmate.
Since I started drafting this post we have had the ECV to try and move baby which was unforunately unsucessful. We now have to decide whether to go for an elective c-section or to attempt a 'natural' breech birth. Just re-reading this has actually reminded me what is important. The birth is such a small part of her overall story and that is what I need to focus on whilst I tie myself up in knots trying to make a decision which is best for all of us, as a family of four.
The week before Easter was always going to be a momentous one for us. It was my last week at work before maternity leave and Mr B's first week in a new job. Thank god it was only a four day week!
We had a lovely long weekend kicking off with some much needed jobs around the house on Good Friday, and some baking on Saturday. Now this might not sound very impressive but it is VERY rare and E had started to think it was only possible to make cakes at Nan-nans house. E and I had a lovely time together mixing and making. We even produced some edible crispy cakes and biscuits!
On Saturday we ventured out of the house to see my parents and visit a vintage fair at the great, Great Central Railway which we are very lucky to have on our doorstep.
Sunday brought not only the Easter Bunny but also Nan-nans birthday so we packaged up some of the products of our labour and off we went to see the other side of the family. The annual Easter Egg hunt (which I have been taking part in since Mr B and I got together 13 years ago!) was as fruitful as always. It is not unheard of us to have Easter chocolate left at Christmas.
By Monday we wanted some time on our own so waited for the sun to come out playing in the garden and after a lovely lunch prepared by Mr B we took the short 5 minute drive to our local woods (Martinshaw Woods) to spot the bluebells. I love this time of year!
Finally we dropped E off at grandparents for a sleepover ready for our early scan at the hospital on Tuesday. Unfortunately baby girl is still breech so after chatting through things with the doctor we are booked in for a ECV next week. Fingers crossed we can get this little monkey moving!

At Midwest Pools, we offer the very best fiberglass pools on the market. They are over 15 times stronger than concrete pools, and they can withstand ground movement that would devastate concrete inground models. Also, only fiberglass pools can survive the low temperatures, biting winds, and regular frost that accompany Midwest winters.
You can contact us to receive a free quote on a fiberglass pool. Prices vary depending on the size and style of the model. However, our fiberglass pools are low maintenance so you will not have to spend a lot of money caring for one. The pool will never have to be remarcited or acid washed, and it requires only 1/3 of the chlorine needed for a concrete pool. This means that you will save thousands of dollars in the long run if you choose to go with a fiberglass pool.
At Midwest Pools, we have an array of accessories that can enhance the look of your pool or increase the number of activities that can take place in the water. We have gas-fired heaters that extend the swimming season into the winter. We have slides and diving platforms that increase the entertainment value of the pool, and we carry massage jets and fiber optic lights that make things just a little bit more relaxing.
There are also several design accessories you can choose from when buying a Midwest fiberglass pool. We have standard and customized inlaid mosaics. We also offer a variety of tiles for the perimeter of the pool and for seats and steps.

Johnstone’s Trade has received rave reviews after the 117-year-old Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield was decorated exclusively with the brand’s products.
As part of the theatre’s £1.9 million refurbishment, all public areas of the theatre were decorated, along with the auditorium, front of stage, back stage and external areas.
The theatre, built in 1898 to a traditional proscenium arch design, is the only surviving example of W.G.R. Sprague’s design work outside of London, and is Sheffield’s only Edwardian auditorium.
The project posed a number of unique challenges to decorators Mitie Property Services (UK) Ltd, whose team had only a short theatre close-down period in which to complete the works, and a number of other trades to work around.
To ensure a finish of the highest quality on the theatre’s walls and ornate plasterwork, Johnstone’s Matt Emulsion, Acrylic Durable Eggshell, Undercoat and Gloss were specified for the Lyceum’s walls, ceilings and woodwork, including fire escapes and exit routes, and applied using brushes, rollers, sponge rollers and spraying. The hard-wearing, easy-to-clean properties of Johnstone’s Acrylic Durable Eggshell made it an ideal choice for a busy theatre.
To protect the metalwork of the theatre’s grand exterior against corrosion, two coats of Johnstone’s Smooth Metal paint were applied, providing a primer and topcoat in one. Johnstone’s Smooth Masonry paint was used on the theatre’s external masonry to give the rendering excellent resistance against dirt and weathering. Many of the Lyceum’s ornate features required the paint to be applied using rag rolling and intricate fitch work to bring the dated areas back to life with a fresh look.
Kenny Robson, managing director at Mitie Property Services (UK) Ltd, said: “When working on a tight timescale, it is essential that we have the best paint products at hand to create the right result. Johnstone’s paints and primers never let us down.
The Lyceum Theatre restoration project came top in the Period and Restoration category at the Johnstone’s Painter of the Year awards in 2014. The theatre also won the Premier Trophy Award within the Highly Decorative Category from The Painting and Decorating Association in 2015. | 2019-04-21T03:22:43 | https://paintingdecoratingassociation.co.uk/news/historic-theatre-given-show-stopping-johnstones-refurb/ |

The starting point for this etching was a photograph I had taken and developed myself about 10 years ago -- I wanted to use it again in my current printmaking practice, so decided to do a photo etching, with some line etching and 'aquatinted' skies added on, to give it some drama. It holds nostalgia of the grey Calcutta monsoon skies, blurry with heavy rain-filled clouds, which make the birds of the city including pigeons, frantically fly about, and ultimately settle in their nests.

The polemic that certain web sites give rise to is all the more enthralling in that this tool signals a real rupture in the nature of investments between the new generation and the old. The turnabout in identity transmission positions is one of the avatars generated by the invasion of avatars with the family unit.

I am going to be getting a one way ticket to Europe on August 27th, 2011, and will probably stay for two months. I will be covering a lot of ground, alone. I will only be 18, and a female. I have travelled a bit with my family, but don’t have too much travelling experience, and none alone. Please feel free to leave tips on travelling alone, budgeting, where to stay, safety, and other things I should know thanks!!
I think you meant Aug. 27, 2012? Anyway, without long-stay visa or European passport, you can’t technically enter Europe with a one-way ticket. The airline is not even supposed to give you a boarding card if you don’t have these, or proof of onward travel, within your allowed tourist days. See the visa checking tool link pinned @ top of our Cheap Flights forum next-door. In addition to proof of onward travel outside of UK or Schengen, you might be required to show proof of insurance, sufficient funds, and lodging arrangements. Just a heads-up. The visa-checking tool I mentioned will summarize your entry requirements.
Unless you enjoy introversion, stay at hostels! That’s my #1 tip for traveling alone. It’s the best way to connect with people traveling in the same style as you.
Post on our cheap flights forum if you need more flight help. There are limited charters to the UK from Edmonton in summer, often cheaper than other flight options.
Women travel for countless reasons. But when it comes to health and security there’s a huge difference between women and men. The truth is that women face greater obstacles, especially when traveling alone. With careful planning you can minimize the risks and maximize your chances of having a safe and successful trip. Before you leave, be sure to complete a risk assessment of any country you’re thinking of visiting. Keep copies of all important travel documents in your suitcase. Dress appropriately when visiting any new place. Behave confidently and avoid eye contact from strangers. Don’t believe on strangers and never accept the things from them. Make sure you feel comfortable about your accommodations and their location.
Your dates don’t make sense. You posted on December 23, 2011, that you will be “be getting a one way ticket to Europe on August 27th, 2011”. Did you mean August of 2012?
In any case, I’m with Don: the first thing that stuck out to me was your one-way ticket.
I’ve personally never been asked to show proof of return or onward travel when entering Schengen (with a US passport), but I’ve heard of people having trouble with this while entering the UK. And as Don said about airlines possibly denying you to board. Your passport may also be stamped (as a Canadian, they may have just waived you in a few years ago, but I’ve noticed Schengen countries getting tougher even with US/Can citizens), and if you exceed your visa-free 90-day time limit in the Schengen zone, or in an individual non-Schengen country, then you’re breaching the law. So, be aware of these things.
Think about it…would Canada allow people in just like that?
Is there a specific reason that you’re not buying a return ticket? | 2019-04-24T16:39:36 | http://www.eurotrip.com/content/travelling-alone-2 |
On Thursday 19 October 2017, a cheque for £700 was presented to Eyemouth RNLI lifeboat station.
Eyemouth RNLI lifeboat were invited to a talk with the Rotary Club of Eyemouth and District on Thursday 19 October 2017, where they were very interested to learn about the history of our station and the forthcoming Shannon class lifeboat.
The Club recently held a coffee morning and sponsored walk in aid of Eyemouth lifeboat, and a very generous cheque for £700 was presented to the crew. | 2019-04-19T03:03:52 | https://rnli.org/news-and-media/2017/october/20/eyemouth-rnli-lifeboat-station-benefits-from-rotary-donation |
The final group of Irish peacekeepers to serve in Chad arrived back in Dublin this afternoon.
For the first time in three decades, there are now no large Irish battalions serving overseas.
The 186 soldiers were met at Dublin airport by the Minister for Defence Tony Killeen and the acting Chief of Staff, Major General Dave Ashe.
The troops were also given an enthusiastic reception by their families.
Irish soldiers have been serving on four-month tours of duty in Chad for the past two years.
But at Easter, the Government decided to end the mission because of uncertainty over the UN mandate.
An earlier group of 200 peacekeepers returned from Chad over a week ago.
A small group of 11 will remain to serve at the force headquarters in Chad but they will not be on operational duties.
There is provision for 850 Irish troops to serve abroad at any one time.
But with the recent end of the mission in Kosovo and now Chad, only a few dozen soldiers will be on foreign postings.
Minister Killeen said Ireland’s commitment to peacekeeping remains very strong and he expects invitations to serve abroad in the future.
General Ashe said the Defence Forces would use the time ahead to gather their resources and prepare for any future mission, though he said there are none on the horizon at the moment. | 2019-04-23T11:23:56 | https://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0520/131269-chad/ |

I visited Greenfield Village last weekend – an outdoor historical museum in the Detroit area—and was amazed by the intricate Jacquard Loom, invented around 1800. It’s a weaving loom with a continuous loop of 622 punch cards that directed the intricate pattern to be woven into the cloth; the cards could be rearranged to create various designs. This invention spurred Charles Baggage to think about automating math computations, all done by hand at the time. He created the Analytical Engine in 1837—the first mechanical computer – and Ada Lovelace created an algorithm for it to compute numbers, making her the first computer programmer.
She was the only legitimate daughter of poet Lord Byron, though she never knew him.
She was passionate about math and a wiz at it, and she was educated in the study from a young age – quite uncommon at the time. As a teenager, she designed a flying machine and steam engine.
At less than 20 years of age, she translated a Babbage lecture, adding her own ideas that were three times longer than the original material, including the algorithm. Unlike Babbage who only saw computers useful for numeric calculations, Lovelace foresaw and detailed the computer’s use with all kind of content and for multiple uses.
One can’t help but wonder if the computer age would’ve started a hundred years earlier if she had lived longer.

The last two years have taught me that traveling internationally is both easier and more affordable then I would have ever imagined. Granted, I currently have no dependents and could use my tax refund on purely personal gain and have the luxury of having my entire summer free, but it’s still more attainable than I would have imagined.
Granted, taking a 2.5 week full blown tour of Ireland like I did last summer did require more than one year of savings and quite a bit of planning, but this year’s 7 day trip to Iceland is very budget friendly and hopefully the start of what will become an international destination a year habit.
Ireland was always my number one goal. Iceland, for whatever reason, was my number two. Here, presented in no particular order, are my new international wish-list.
We’ll start with the trip that’s most attainable and the only domestic location on this list that won’t require air-travel. I’ve been to Canada several times: Niagara Falls on family vacations (and later in college to legally drink at age 19..I’ve always been classy) and Nova Scotia and St. Johns for a cruise the summer I graduated high school. However, the parts of Canada I’ve been to were basically indistinguishable from New York. Montreal and Quebec are French Canadian and by all accounts much more European then the rest of the country. And, Montreal has an ice hotel and ice bar.
I primarily want to visit Germany for the Oktoberfests. What can I say, Hofbrauhaus has made an impression. This means that I’ll have to go in September and base myself, for a time at least, in Munich.
Aside from waving around a giant mug of beer the size of my head, I also would like to visit Bavaria, take advantage of no speed limits on the autobahns, take a tour of Berlin’s extensive underground bunker system, and somber as it is, go to a concentration camp. I’d like to take a few days drive into Austria to see the Alps.
One of the biggest trends in crime fiction is Scandinavian (Norway, Sweden, & Finland) literature (probably has nothing to do with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo). I’m a pretty big nerd so have read a lot of these and in doing so developed a fascination with Scandinavian culture. Also, Men’s Journal and Outside magazine, both which I subscribe to, have begun to run lengthy several page ads sponsored by the Norwegian tourism board. Check out the pictures, specifically the Geirangerfjord, and tell me you don’t want to be there. There’s also several glaciars that boast summer cross country skiing.
Also, who wouldn’t want to go on a musk ox safari (I’m being serious here)?
I expect that my trip to Iceland will only exacerbate this longing.
South Africa appeals to me for a variety of reason. Most notably, I’d like to go on a safari. I realize this can be done in all sorts of African locations, but South Africa also has beaches with penguins. I don’t think that any other country has beaches with penguins and big cats.
One of my favorite books is The Bang Bang Club (also an underrated movie), a nonfiction account of several South African apartheid photographers, a couple of years ago and was fascinated by the book. I wouldn’t mind learning more about the dark parts of the country’s history.
New Zealand is the adventure sport capital of the world. There’s a ton of tour companies that specialize in adventure tours, where hiking, whitewater rafting, caving, and bungee jumping our built right into the itinerary. New Zealand is one of the only countries to allow “freedom camping.” You can traverse the island(s) and camp wherever you see fit, which would be an awesome way to travel.
Have you ever looked at pictures of Croatia? It’s absolutely gorgeous, like breath takingly postcard-fake looking pretty. It’s tropical looking without being unbearably hot. Also, google image Dubrovnik. You’ll want to go there as well, not just because it’s a walled city thrust into the Mediterranean, but also because it’s the real life King’s Landing.
Island hopping, preferably aboard a catamaran is my optimal touring mode.
I read an article in Men’s Journal a couple of years ago about a rafting trip in Bosnia, which piqued my interest in the country. It’s gorgeous and one of the few European countries that isn’t extensively traveled and holds some old world charm. I’ve also read up quite a bit on it’s complex and violent history so would be curious to explore that side of it.
Lithuania is definitely the dark sheep of my international wish list. It’s not as random as it seems. I’m a quarter Lithuanian and feel since I’ve already conquered my Irish and English (a Birmingham layover counts right? What about Northern Ireland? They use the pound…) heritages, Lithuania is next on the map.
Lithuania is most known for….. See, this is embarrassing. I should know. I need to go and reclaim my heritage.
I wrote extensively in my “Grand Inevitable Return to Ireland” post a list of reasons why I want to go to Scotland. They include, but are not limited to adventure tours, creepy haunted castles, searching for Nessie, and going on a Haggis Adventure.
When I think about Australia to following things come to mind: gorgeous beaches, kangaroos, shrimp on the Barbie, beer drinking on gorgeous beaches, rugby games, koalas, and giant Aboriginal horns. Many of these things may be stereotypical and not realistic, yet it’s still enough to make it onto my wish list. | 2019-04-23T00:29:33 | https://paweekendfun.com/2013/05/29/top-10-international-wishlist/ |

I actually ok, I am finding sparkling water and coffee ok substitutes for alcohol, but my extended dry January has me thinking about substitutes.
At ~£27 for 700mls, I make that about 5 times the price of Gordon's, once you take away the alcohol duty.
Oops! Hit the submit button to quickly.
So I think I will keep ignoring alcohol free wines (aka grape juice), but I am intrigued by Nosecco, which at 2.99 is reasonably priced, and nicely packaged. I will pick up a bottle if I see it on the shelf.
Many years ago when Steins (German sausages and beer) first opened in Richmond, they didn't have a license, so sold alcohol free Weissbeer. This was really nice, so much so we were disappointed they stopped selling it when they got their licence. I don't remember the brand, but it was German. I will try a few and see if I can find one as nice as I remember.
Also I can't remember which spelling of licence is the noun, so use them interchangeably. Note it would have been quicker to google it than type this, so I guess that tells you something about me.
Franziskaner is ok Weissbeer. I also like Big Drop's pale ale and milk stout.
I will also look out for Brew Dog's delightfully named and reasonably priced Nanny State.
Just about the only acceptable substitute I've ever found has been Weissbier. Erdinger is pretty palatable. I did try Nanny State and thought it was pretty mediocre (like most of Brewdog's offerings, to be honest). Elsewhere I suggested it as a mixer for gin in place of tonic water, with which it shares an overwhelming bitterness. Elsewhere's resident beerhead did report that it kind-hearted of worked.
When I finally get around to the period of drinking less that I know must come I am resigned to sparkling water and herbal tea.
It start with seeing a display of Seedlip at Waitrose. Alcohol free gin, so botanicals and water.
'Botanicals and water', what a take-on. And where does the decapitated squirrel come into it? That label design is seriously creepy.
The cost of sourcing the highest quality ingredients from our farmers around the world.
The time, effort, equipment & expertise it takes to make a bottle of Seedlip.
The use, licences & associated tax & legal requirements of using neutral grain spirit within the initial distillation process."
That third point is curious. It implies that they distil using alcohol in a reasonably conventional way, and then distil the alcohol out - which would suggest that the cost of the drink includes at least some excise duty. I haven't tried it yet, but if it's any good I'd expect one of the big booze brands either to buy them out or to produce knock-off cheapo versions - or both.
Oh FFS, homeopathic gin. I've heard it all now.
While we're talking hipster hype, what about kombucha?
If you can overlook the fact that it's 45% ABV, a single drop of Angostura bitters in a pint glass of fizzy water is good.
Beers: St Peters is my favourite, I also quite like Weissbeer. But note that even in my drinking days I was never into all that epicurean connoisseur "notes of floor polish" stuff.
TT for umpteen years. Wouldn't dream of touching the stuff again. Someone gave me an alcoholic drink in a (genuine) mix up a couple of years ago. It tasted how I'd imagine cat piss and petrol to taste. I had to spit it out. The Angostura doesn't have that effect.
Yes, bitters does not count as alcohol in this context. I think you'd use less than 1ml (1/5 of a teaspoon) per litre, so that makes it 0.045%, which is alcohol free in law. Lemon, lime and bitters (7-up type lemonade, Schweppes-type lime cordial and Angostura bitters) is the go-to alcohol free drink in Aussie pubs. I've long stopped asking for it in UK pubs, as they never seem to have the bitters. Thanks for the reminder. | 2019-04-21T23:00:30 | https://cyclingrelated.uk/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=213&p=5020 |

Art Arfons (born February 3, 1926 in Akron, Ohio) was the world land speed record holder three times in 1964 - 1965 with his Green Monster series of jet powered cars, after a series of Green Monster piston engine and jet engined dragsters. He subsequently went on to field a succession of Green Monster turbine engined pulling tractors, before returning to land speed record racing.
His father, Tom, was born in Greece and came to the United States at age 14; he died in 1950, at age 52. His mother, Bessie, was half Cherokee, and died in 1984 at age 84. Arfons had two half brothers by his mother; Walt Arfons, ten years older, who was to become his partner and later competitor in autosports, and Dale, eight years older, as well as one sister Lou, eighteen months older.
Arfons' family operated a feed mill in rural Ohio, where the Arfons brothers exercised their mechanical skills and ingenuity. After his junior year of high school, at just under 17 years of age, Art joined the United States Navy. He was sent to diesel mechanic school, then assigned as a mechanic to a landing craft in the Pacific Theater. This was a very good job for Arfons to utilize his mechanical talents. He participated in two battles including the invasion of Okinawa, and then was discharged after three years, as a Second Class Petty Officer. He returned to Ohio, was married, and had a son. In 1952, he and his half-brother Walt became fascinated with drag racing and built their first Green Monster. In this endeavor, they were supported by their mother, who was also fascinated by the sport. Art and Walt continued their drag racing partnership with a series of Green Monster cars until the late 1950s, parting amicably but competing against each other.
Arfon's path led almost inevitably to land speed record racing at Bonneville, first in 1960 with the "Anteater", a car modeled after John Cobb's "Railton Special" and powered by an Allison V-1710 aircraft engine. In 1961 he reached a top speed of 313.78 miles per hour before burning out the clutch. Arfons sold the car to Bob Motz.
In 1962, Arfons began experimenting with jet powered cars, where his innate mechanical skills proved tremendously useful. Art's first car, the 8,000 hp (6 MW) Cyclops, remains the fastest open cockpit vehicle, recording 330.113 miles per hour (531.265 km/h) in the measured mile in 1962. Unfortunately, his design had the driver sitting directly in the air intake to the engine, so that there was no way to enclose the cockpit and still supply air to the engine; this limited top speed severely. In deference to the car's less than excellent aerodynamics, Arfons introduced another innovation; it was the first land speed record car to utilize a wing to produce downforce to prevent the car from becoming airborne.
Arfons returned to Bonneville in 1964 with another Green Monster. He held the world land speed record three times during the closely fought competition of 1964 and 1965, but after a bad crash in 1966 turned his attention to jet turbine powered tractor pulling competition where he was, as usual, successful. In 1989, however, he attempted to return to land speed record competition, but was never competitive.
Art's son, Tim Arfons, has continued the tradition by competing in jet powered dragsters as well as in turbine powered pulling "funny cars", and has been a stunt and exhibition driver in a series of jet powered ATVs and even a jet powered personal watercraft. His daughter Dusty Arfons also competed in tractor pulling with her father.
The Green Monster was the name of several vehicles built by Art Arfons who was often described as a "junk yard genius", and his half brother Walt Arfons. They were initially Dragsters, at first powered by junked automobile engines, then by war surplus piston aircraft engines (Ranger and Allison V-1710), which were plentiful, durable, and cheap, then by jet aircraft engines. The jet powered dragsters developed into jet powered vehicles built to break the land speed record, finally a series of turbine powered pulling tractors.
The first "Green Monster", in 1952 was a three wheeled dragster powered by an Oldsmobile six cylinder engine, and painted with left-over green tractor paint. The name was applied on the car's first outing by the track announcer, who laughingly said "Okay folks here it comes; The Green Monster", and it stuck to all Arfons' creations. The car only reached 85 miles per hour (137 km/h), 20 miles per hour (30 km/h) short of the fastest car, but by 1953 the Green Monster Number 2, a 20 foot (6 m) long six wheeled car powered by a 2000 horsepower (1.5 MW) Allison aircraft engine, was hitting 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) in the quarter mile. Green Monster Number 2 was painted by Arfons' mother to resemble the World War II Curtiss P-40 Flying Tigers fighter airplane, with an open mouth showing large teeth. The top speed of the car was estimated at 270 miles per hour (435 km/h), and it could reach 140 miles per hour (225 km/h) in eight seconds from a standing start. Running on passenger car tires, the car required four wheels on the rear drive axle to withstand the power. At the first World Series of Drag Racing at Lawrenceville, Illinois, it clocked the highest top speed at 132.35 miles per hour (213.00 km/h), and eventually a world record of 145.16 mph (233.61 km/h).
The later cars had various paint schemes where green was not necessary the dominant color. The six-wheeled Green Monster Number 6 became the first dragster to break 150 miles per hour (241 km/h) in the quarter mile. Green Monster Number 11, Art Arfons' favorite, hit 191 miles per hour to beat Don Garlits.
The Arfons brothers then split up, and each became interested in land speed record racing.
The most famous "Green Monster" was powered by an F-104 Starfighter General Electric J79 17,500 lbf static thrust jet engine with four-stage afterburner, which Arfons purchased from a scrap dealer for $600 and rebuilt himself, over the objections of General Electric and the government, and despite all manuals for the engine being classified top secret.
Reportedly, the engine's fan had broken blades. Art Arfons tested it by tying it to trees in his garden, a procedure which drew complaints from his neighbors.
This car, painted in red and blue, won the land speed record three times during the close competition of 1964 and 1965 with 434, 536 and 576 miles per hour (698, 863, and 927 km/h) in the flying mile (despite blowing a tire on the last record run). It competed against Art's brother Walt's Wingfoot Express cars (Walt could not pilot the car himself having suffered a stroke prior to) and Craig Breedlove who eventually won the record with 600.601 miles per hour (966.574 km/h).
In 1966 Arfons returned once again to Bonneville, but reached an average speed of only 554.017 miles per hour. (891.604 km/h) On run number seven at 8:03 AM on November 17, Arfons crashed his vehicle travelling 610 miles per hour (982 km/h) when a wheel bearing froze. He subsequently built another Green Monster land speed record car, but sold it to California rancher Slick Gardner without ever driving it.
In view of his wife's concern over the risk involved in land speed record racing, Arfons instead turned his talents to turbine powered tractor pulling with great success, fielding a series of Green Monster pull tractors along with his son and daughter.
However, in 1989, Arfons returned to Bonneville with Green Monster Number 27, an 1800 pound (820 kg), 22 foot (7 m) long two wheeler. The car left the ground at 350 miles per hour (563 km/h), and Arfons rebuilt it into a less radical four wheeled vehicle for 1990, but could manage only 177, 308 and 338 miles per hour (285, 496, and 544 km/h). In 1991 he tried again, but once again had to give up with handling problems.
The Green Monster cars were never really competitive beyond being top speed contenders but they were at the majority of the NHRA national meets in the late fifties putting them in the "nationally campaigned" category. This car was well known, as were the many others they ran. This Art Arfons - Arfons Bros. Green Monster was the one I'd say was the most successful though. It's pictured here at the '59 NHRA Nationals at Detroit. From a picture, uncredited, in the defunct Car Speed & Style, 7/60. | 2019-04-19T09:22:12 | http://www.speedace.info/art_arfons.htm |
We cut our Galveston visit short by a day because I was given the opportunity to get a ride with Sandy McNabb, my friend Connie’s husband, in SHEEPDAWG, the SeaRey Amphibious airplane that Sandy built. Sandy is a former fighter pilot and Wing Commander in the Texas Air National Guard and a retired United Airlines pilot as well. And, as it turned out, I got to ride in SHEEPDAWG on Saturday evening and on Sunday afternoon before I had to leave to fly to Oklahoma City for my next adventure. And, I even got to fly the plane! I was a nervous wreck when I had the controls so I relinquished the stick to Sandy after about 10 minutes so I could resume my efforts to photograph eagles and other flying birds. What a thrill it was to taxi down the driveway into Lake Conroe, skim over the water, lift off, and soar with the birds for a couple of hours.
We did what I’m calling “Air to Air: Texas Style.” I wasn’t photographing one aircraft from another but I WAS photographing a flying subject from an aircraft so I think that counts. Sandy is an excellent spotter of birds and is gracious and extremely accommodating to his passengers who are photographers. Once he spotted a bald eagle, sitting in a tree or flying, he’d fly by over and over so I could try to get photographs. It is not an easy task to focus on a bird, either flying or sitting in a tree, when you’re flying at close to 100 MPH with the canopy open, wind whipping, trying to find the bird in your viewfinder, then focusing. At least with the Nikon D5’s 12 frames per second speed, I had some chance of getting a few successful shots. And I did. But only a very few! I had a great time and I’d love to try this again. Even the flying part!!
Thanks to Connie, my trips were documented. She stood on the balcony with her 800mm Canon lens and photographed us as Sandy flew at balcony level past the house. Here are two of the shots I managed to get. First, a flying eagle taken from above late Saturday afternoon. I took the eagle sitting in the dead tree on Sunday afternoon but Sandy made about six or seven passes by this eagle in that tree and I took a dozen shots at each pass. This is the only acceptable shot of all. Credit for the photos of me, Sandy, and SHEEPDAWG goes to Connie McNabb. First, I’m getting a pre-flight briefing; second, I’m ready; third, flying; and fourth, I survived!

Yes but I could do without an empty pond this week!
Just what you don’t need! Will the fresh water cause problems too? The pond before was well established and in equilibrium; you might need a straw bail, or maybe it’s barley – I’m not an expert.
Hi Christina, so far so good. We have a lot of lily plants which should help the water.
I bet your heart sank as you realized what was happening. I hope the fishes and the plants all recover quickly. You will definitely need your mucking boots nearby.
On the bright side: at least it happened when it did, and not on the day of the open garden.
Hi Jane, Just what I thought!
Oh no! Good job you noticed when you did. It looks beautiful though.
The agony of last-minute challenges! Good luck on the big day.
Oh my! That happened to a client’s koi pond, and drained all but the last two feet or so of water. Miraculously, ALL the koi were fine. Once the water was replenished, they were swimming about as if nothing had happened!
Thanks Tony. Much the same here but only goldfish not carp. | 2019-04-21T03:03:41 | https://glebehouse.wordpress.com/2018/06/08/unexpected-garden-watering/ |
This model is valid CellML, but does not run in OpenCell or COR because it lacks initial conditions and several parameter values. More importantly, it appears it has been coded to conform with procedural matlab code, and even if the above errors were fixed, other problems would likely persist.
ABSTRACT: Two distinct delayed rectifier K+ currents, IKr and IKs, were found recently in ventricular cells. We formulated these currents theoretically and investigated their roles in action potential repolarization and the restitution of action potential duration (APD). The Luo-Rudy (L-R) model of the ventricular action potential was used in the simulations. The single delayed rectifier K+ current in the model was replaced by IKr and IKs. Our results show that IKs is the major outward current during the plateau repolarization. A specific block of either IKr or IKs can effectively prolong APD to the same degree. Therefore, either channel provides a target for class III antiarrhythmic drugs. In the simulated guinea pig ventricular cell, complete block of IKr does not result in early afterdepolarizations (EADs). In contrast, > 80% block of IKs results in abnormal repolarization and EADs. This behavior reflects the high IKs-to-IKr density ratio (approximately 8:1) in this cell and can be reversed (ie, IKr block can cause EADs) by reducing the ratio of IKs to IKr. The computed APD restitution curve is consistent with the experimental behavior, displaying fast APD variation at short diastolic intervals (DIs) and downward shift at longer DIs with the decrease of basic drive cycle length (BCL). Examining the ionic currents and their underlying kinetic processes, we found that activation of both IKr and IKs is the primary determinant of the APD restitution at shorter DIs, with Ca2+ current through L-type channels (ICa) playing a minor role. The rate of APD change depends on the relative densities of IKr and IKs; it increases when the IKr-to-IKs density ratio is large. The BCL-dependent shift of restitution at longer DIs is primarily attributed to long-lasting changes in [Ca2+]i. This in turn causes different degrees of Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation of ICa and different degrees of Ca(2+)-dependent conductance of IKs at very long DIs (> 5 s) for different BCLs. This BCL dependence of ICa and IKs that is secondary to long-lasting changes in [Ca2+]i is responsible for APD changes at long DIs and can be viewed as a "memory property" of cardiac cells.

Intercultural worship broadens our encounters with God and equips us for mission among diverse people groups. It’s a big ‘welcome’ sign but also grows our own understanding of God. With a combination of stories, songs and explanation, Ian and Resonance band members will explore the exciting concept of ‘heart worship’ that lies behind this. | 2019-04-22T14:37:29 | https://artsrelease.org/en/events/mission-worship-conference-eastbourne |
This is the marketing assignment sample on the case study basis of Thomas Cook Travel where the author has to evaluate the positioning of the company in the market and provides the recommendations on how the company can improve its position in the market.
This study is aimed at understanding the positioning strategy followed by Thomas Cook Travel during the period of 2008 to 2010. Further the competitors and their policies would also be studied and analyzed to come up with a comparative analysis. In addition, this study is to see how the Thomas Cook approaches and deals with the tourism market and the marketing mix model which it follows to ensure its success. The service offerings as well as the market forces models would also be used to come to an informed conclusion so that valid suggestion can be made towards the end. The research will be based on information on the World Wide Web, textbooks and journals. A simple introduction to start this study on Thomas Cook Travel is one of the largest travel group in the world and the second largest in the United Kingdom (Andrew S, 2008, pp.157). In 2008 firm organized a holidays for around 16.3 million clients in UK alone.
The main reason for their success is their investments and commitment towards providing for their customers ‘A time of their Life’ as well as ‘Value for their money’. A lot has changed with regard to how the holiday market works. People are now using the World Wide Web to plan their holidays rather than conventional means. This has made the travel agency business more cost effective and customer oriented. Thomas Cook strongly believes in Corporate Social Responsibility and they work towards responsible tourism programs that keep in mind the negativities of intensive tourism and the help which it can provide to local heritage and community (Bhatia A K, 2002, pp.105).
The main factor that forms the basis of any tourism companies’ segmentation of its customers is travel motivation. Traveling decisions are based on satisfaction of needs and destination loyalty. The motivation factors of the tourist are based on need, choice preference or goals with respect to the destination (Pervaiz, 2002, pp.275). When we take into consideration ecotourism the main push factor is social psychological desire. Aspects like natural attractions are the pull factors which prompt travelers into taking traveling decisions. (Jobber D, 2010 pp. 305-307).
The profile segmentation done by Thomas Cook includes variables which can be contacted through the use of the media. This segment can further be broken down on the basis of demographic, gender, life cycle stage and social class (Bhatia A K, 2002, pp.29).
The Psychographic segmentation would be on the basis of the lifestyle which the prospective customer follows. The lifestyle also has four stages i.e., dependents, pre family, family and late. Thomas Cook would design their packages as per each stage thus targeting maximum number of people.
Behavioural Segmentation would be done by Thomas Cook on the basis of things like benefits sought, occasion, purchase behaviour and usage. The process of segmentation will not necessarily follow the same sequence every time. It depends at what stage the segmentation process is carried out. Segmentation just makes the process to achieve targets much easier and systematic. The segmentation process which we have talked about is important with the point of view of Thomas Cook as it helps to keep in mind the variables for a particular section of customers being offered a product to the customers, helps them evaluate their importance and thus developing the profiles or packages for each customer (Victor, 2009, pp.190). This segmentation process would further help to target in an organized manner and in the end help in the positioning process in order to be a profitable venture (Judith, 2010, pp.70).
The position of a product is the way the product is perceived by a customer comparative to their competitors. The marketing mix is mainly utilized for determining the package to be offered to the current customer or a prospective one (Victor, 2009, pp.190).
These four are controlled by the marketing manager and is affected by the constraints of the internal as well as external environment (Evert, 1999, pp.78). The goal of Thomas Cook is to set their 4 P’s which are customer centric of the target market thus creating the perceived value and giving the positive response which is required for future growth.
Price Decisions – The pricing decisions taken by Thomas Cook travel will be based on target market penetration strategy, discounts and package pricing, seasonal situational requirements, and the level of price flexibility available.
Promotion Decisions – The promotional decisions of Thomas Cook Travel with respect to the marketing mix would be mainly concerned with communication for purposes of further marketing (Jobber D, 2010 pp. 262-268).
Product Decisions – In Thomas Cook the product refers to the services offered plus the additional facilities given to keep the customer comfortable and give him an amazing experience which he/she would cherish (Mohinder, 2002, pp.14).
Place (Distribution of Services) Decisions – There are various distribution channels that are available. Thomas Cook has to decide as per their product offering where to place it.
Thus the positioning strategy for Thomas Cook will involve defining the market, identifying the dimensions, collection of information, come up with the product, and decide on the location of the product and lastly the combination of attributes which are most happily received by the customers. (Jobber D, 2010 pp. 305-307).
Thomas Cook gained the competitive advantage over its competitors when they were appointed the official sponsors of the FIFA World Cup 2010. The football fans have been promised an unforgettable unique experience which made them the tour and travel company to recon with. The marketing technique followed by Thomas Cook is Direct marketing which helps them carry out mass marketing campaigns and lead to high level of conversion. The kind of trade practice they do helps to build business value and improve goodwill. They use technology to give them the leverage of recall and study. Their belief in sustainable tourism strategy gives them huge benefits, as it improves their performance and gives them steady and sure growth. The use of internet is more prevalent these days for planning of holidays this is very different from the traditional methods. Thomas Cook has adapted to this need with open arms. They merged with MyTravel, an online holiday planning company owning 35% of the package holiday market, to meet this very need and gain more customers in the process (Milan, 2002, 357). This also helped them in getting a better customer base in UK as well as in Continental Europe, resulting in cost saving.
Thomas Cook uses the strategic focus approach to handle and tackle the competition. The aspects involved in this approach are – expansion of the market, market share acquisition, expansion geographically, and extension of the product or market.
· They have efficiently carried out customer segmentation and thus have tackled the huge travel market very strategically.
· It has positioned itself as a specialist in the travel and tours field.
· Their marketing mix is very balanced and gives maximum results.
· Stable Political environment in the country.
· The stability of economic factors had an effect on the purchasing power of potential customers, the inflation rate is gradual and low.
· The high confidence in jobs, which led to the spending by consumer to be also high.
· The pound is a very stable currency as compared to the other currencies. Thus the exchange rates are favorable for travel.
· Lifestyle changes have also affected the travel industry as well. The DINK syndrome i.e., Double Income No Kids, has resulted in purchases of more holiday packages. This means more business for Thomas Cook.
· Fashion changes also are a major influencing factor which Thomas Cook has sensibly handled.
· The intense technology development has changed how business operators work thus making it inevitable. Thomas Cook has adapted this changed smoothly and thus providing the upper hand in this tourism industry.
The changes which need to be addressed are sustainability, transition to the internet and the affect of recession, which has changed the requirement and attitude level of the consumers. The steps which should be taken by Thomas Cook are: they should look at long term benefits and should be open to changes which will happen in the future. For example, they can implement special offer for retaining customers that have previously tripped with them. As well as this, the losses should be kept to the minimum by increasing the profits in whichever area there is growth such as online travel agency; Thomas Cook should look overseas for a new online partnership.
Moreover, there level of internet awareness needs to be improved. The changes made should be gradual, for instance increasing the advertising in useful websites like news sites, facebook and youtube. Finally, Thomas Cook could focus on the internal market by offering exclusive packages for local and foreign residents, who are willing ether to spend their holiday inside the UK or discover their new country.

The first ever Limited Edition (of 500) signed full-length book on Jaguar toys and models, and in it collector and enthusiast Michael Driver details many of the numerous many toys and models of the marque produced by manufacturers throughout the world. Not only that, he sets out to tell the story of the 'real' Jaguar car over the past 80 years through these models, from the earliest pre-Jaguar Swallows and SSs through to the classic models of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
All shapes and sizes of models are covered, from cheap, tiny plastic toy Jaguars to large and often very expensive scale models which can be extremely detailed. Besides the mass-produced die-cast models from well-known manufacturers like Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox , tin plate and plastic models plus the low-volume hand-built and kit-form models are included too. The latter are usually made in white metal or resin -- or even in chocolate!
The book contains over 2,000 photographs in full colour; these show the many variations of these miniature Jaguars, and archive pictures relate them to the real thing. Interestingly, much of this coverage is by size -- small, medium and large. This, along with the lists and specifications at the back of the book, help identify the rarer Jaguar toys and models which you might come across at autojumbles, toy fairs and swap-meets. Advice on collecting and what to look out for is included too, while the book has the distinction of a Foreword by Michael Quinn, grandson of Jaguar's founder Sir William Lyons.
Michael Driver has been a life long toy collector. His passion includes cars and commercial vehicles by Dinky Toys, Corgi Toys, Matchbox and many other companies. His interest also includes trains, tin toys and construction kits.
Over the years Jaguar models and Jaguar ephemera have become a major aspect of his collecting. He also has an interest in ‘real’ Jaguars and Jaguar related ephemera. | 2019-04-25T02:14:49 | https://www.paulskilleterbooks.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=121&osCsid=njkoq71d1so1lhc9e4652n5pi1 |

When I went to school for massage therapy, I found my purpose; to bring quality massage with my own unique style while focusing on results and relaxation for clients. Immediately following my graduation from the Arizona School of Massage Therapy I received four months of private tutoring from, a now retired, massage therapist of 10 years. In the time since, I have maintained a high commitment to my own continuing education in the field including my Medical Massage Certification and Perinatal Certification. I have learned several different modalities of massage that I integrate together based on my client’s needs for that particular appointment. Most recently I obtained training in Reiki. The goal is to create a highly customized experience for each client, every time they come in.
Swed-ish - Long and fluid strokes with gentle trigger point and mild stretching. A signature mixture of Swedish with other relaxing modalities of massage. Light to firm pressure.
Therapeutic - Attention is given to stiff "trouble spots" in your body with slow, deliberate strokes that focus pressure muscles, tendons, and other tissues at deeper layers under the skin. Medium to deep pressure.
Prenatal - A special massage for the mommy to be, for relief from the growing pains of pregnancy. Pick this massage to ease away the discomforts of your pregnancy in safety and comfort.
Hot Stone - Long fluid strokes with heated basalt stones mixed with gentle trigger point and mild stretching to ease tension in both body and mind.
Sports Massage - This massage incorporates kneading, stretching and other techniques in order to increase joint flexibility, boost circulation and reduce muscle cramping. Light to deep pressure.
Lymphatic Massage - Lymphatic massage uses a gentle rhythmic pressure with the lightest of pressures. It is used to: reduce sinus pressure, edema and some of the side effects experienced during chemotherapy. Super light pressure.

What is BIE and How Can it Eliminate ALL Symptoms of Allergy?
Biofeedback Analysis is a highly effective health screening procedure used to obtain information from the body to determine what is needed in order to heal itself. A particular muscle is isolated and exposed to a specific substance to determine either a positive or negative response. A weakness in the indicator muscles reveals a disruption in the energy flow and therefore the presence of a stressor. An increase of strength in the indicator muscle confirms the body’s ability to process the substances being tested. No needles required. This treatment is quick and painless, many even find it relaxing!
Bioenergetic pathways allow energetic signals to flow continuously through and around the body. It is through these bioenergetic meridians that the brain and nervous system receive information about the state and functioning of the body as a whole. Modern electro- magnetic imaging technology has confirmed the presence of these pathways. When blockages occur within these pathways, the body is unable to recognize various food or environmental substances. This results in substances being a "stressor" to the body. Many people aren’t aware that stressors are causing many of the symptoms they are suffering with, the average person has over 75 stressors related to food alone!
A lightweight state-of-the-art device (GSR-120 BIE Unit) is used to transmit a low electronic frequency directly onto various acupressure points (without the use of needles) on the body to stimulate and clear any blockages in energy. During this procedure, the client is exposed to the stressor’s energetic frequencies produced by the GSR-120 BIE Unit. While the blockages are being recognized by the body, the body’s cells are literally being reprogrammed to recognize the stressor’s frequency . When this non-invasive and painless procedure is complete, the body will no longer see the stressor as a threat when exposed to it, therefore ceasing to produce any adverse reactions. You can be symptom free, naturally!
I’m pregnant and my children have stressors, can you help us?
Absolutely! We use a different technique that is safe for pregnancy and for children. Don’t suffer, we can help you eliminate all symptoms quickly, painlessly and safely.
Are there any side effects from the procedure?
When the body has been freed of a stressor to which it has been exposed to in the past, any damaged tissues will begin to break down and reabsorb back into the body. The odd headache, sore throat, sinus congestion, tired or lethargic feeling, aches and pains or even nausea are all signs of the body regenerating new cells and cleansing itself. This is known as a “healing process”. A healing process can start the day after the session up to 3 weeks in some cases and may last from 1 to 28 days. For this reason, many are surprised when the stressors they have been cleared of are still causing problems. In fact, they may appear to be getting sick. This is actually a good sign, not a bad one. The body is merely re-experiencing the same symptoms, temporarily, as it now returns on the uphill road, throwing off and eliminating toxic wastes. Most people feel wonderful as the symptoms disappear.
How long will I be free of any stressor once I have had it removed?
It requires only 1 to 4 sessions to clear an stressor in minutes. Approximately 75% to 80% of items only take the first session. However, depending on the degree and stress level of the client, the amount of bodily toxins and the strength of the person’s immune system, the others may require a second, third or, rarely even a fourth session. Once the intolerance in removed, you will most likely never experience symptoms from the same substance again. Stress causes much disease, take care of your body today.

Allergy Symptom Elimination Can Help!
I've recently earned my designation as a Registered BioEnergetic Practitioner and I'm SO excited to tell you about the benefits you can experience. I can test you for stressors including foods, the environment, chemicals, food additives and much more and help your body manage all symptoms associated with them. I went to see my BIE practitioner in August of 2009 just to see what she could do, I didn't have any known "stressors". What she discovered and the benefit I experience was truly helpful, so let me tell you about my experience.
How is muscle testing done? We simply use the strength of the body and how it related to the item being tested to determine whether the body accepts or rejects it. Using an accurate, non-invasive and painless method of analysis, even children feel comfortable with. I recently took my 7 year-old in for an appointment to clear his stressor symptoms (stuffy nose and constipation) and we found out that he was reacting to dairy ( I knew that just needed confirmation to convince us all to take him off dairy) but surprisingly he was also also finding citrus a stressor(which he consumed every day as OJ or Five Alive) as well as shellfish (we had no idea). He now has normal BMs for the first time in his life (it's not funny when a little guy has man-size poops!) and his nasal congestion is gone. We used Biofeedback Analysis to do the testing, which is a scientific method to detect stressors using one's own muscle strength and the static electricity present in the body. For kids we use surrogate testing, so my boy and I held hands through the test to find his sensitivities.
I was so happy with my results that I had my family try it and I've now become a licensed practitioner. This method is really amazing and I look forward to helping you clear your symptoms and enjoy optimal health and energy.

On 24th March 2016, British Council held a sharing and lecture session for 22 craft entrepreneurs in partnership with the SUPPORT Arts and Crafts International Centre of Thailand (SACICT), as the final event of the Business and Investment Readiness (BiR) Programme. The session was followed by an exhibition on ‘Craft and Social Enterprise’ and a cocktail reception at the British Embassy, in order to showcase participants’ products and the social impact of their work to distinguished guests and relevant organisational partners.
The morning session included a workshop and sharing session. Twenty two craft entrepreneurs came together to share their accomplishments from the BiR programme. Participants discussed what they had learned from the workshop in September 2015, what progress they had made since then, what problems or obstacles they had faced, and how they had been able to solve these problems. Some of the positive feedback from this session included, for example, the realisation of new products that were designed on the training course by entrepreneurs without any design background, new materials and methods discovered to increase business opportunities, and how initiating closer engagement with the community had paid off, particularly with elderly and young people. Following this, David Crump, Head of Business Incubation at Cockpit Arts, provided his feedback.
The afternoon session focused on assessing social impact. Pattraporn Yamla-or, Managing Director of Knowledge Dissemination at Sal Forest, Thailand’s first “sustainable business accelerator”, shared with the participants how to define and quantify social value propositions and monetise social impact. She emphasised prioritising concrete actions beyond just developing knowledge and awareness of social enterprise.
The evening event comprised of an exhibition, panel discussion, screening of video interviews, and cocktail reception at the Ambassador’s Residence at the British Embassy. The ‘Craft and Social Enterprise Exhibition’ showcased products and crafts by twenty two craft-entrepreneurs such as natural indigo-dyed products, shoes made from handwoven ethical textiles, non-toxic wooden toys, fabrics made from water hyacinth, nano-silk fabrics, and bamboo basketry products. The exhibition reflected a unique blend of contemporary design, local knowledge and high quality, skilled craftsmanship, while showcasing social impact generated by these handicrafts.
The video interviews captured the essence of the ideas behind each business – how they related to social issues, community engagement, environment, innovation and sustainability. It also demonstrated the social impact these social entrepreneurs have created through their crafts.
The panel discussion on ‘Craft & Social Impact’, chaired by Varin Sachdev, the moderator of the Business Smart TV programme, was an opportunity for participants to share experience, best practices and future plans. The trainer and mentor of this programme, David Crump, shared his perspective on the potential of Thai craft and social enterprise initiatives in the British market, and internationally. Komkrit Trakultiwakorn, from 141 Social Enterprise, gave his views on factors that could contribute to the success and sustainability of social enterprises. Meechai Taesujariya, a recognised master craftsman from Khampun, explained his vision of how Thai crafts could help promote a better society for all. Finally, Laphapim Chairatchanikorn, from LARINN BY DOUBLE P, explained what she thought would be the strengths of the next generation of social entrepreneurs, and the support they would require in order to invest in social work.
The reception, attended by more than one hundred distinguished guests from cultural and social enterprise organisations as well as media representatives, concluded the exhibition. Welcome remarks were given by Paul Bute, the British Embassy’s Deputy Head of Mission, Panjit Pisawong, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of SACICT, and Andrew Glass, Country Director of British Council Thailand. Another highlight of the reception was the announcement of two selected craft-entrepreneurs to join a study trip and product showcases in the UK: Natsasi Senghuad, co-founder of Varni Southern Wickery, a craft business commended for its strong community engagement and educational approach, and Wuttikai Phathong, founder of Kaewwanna Natural Indigo, a social enterprise which promotes the protection of forested watershed through the use of natural indigo in the north of Thailand. Both will showcase their crafts at the New for Old Exhibition in Edinburgh, and Clerkenwell Design Week in London on 18th- 27th May 2016. | 2019-04-25T12:47:02 | https://www.britishcouncil.or.th/en/programmes/society/news-and-updates/collaboration-crafts-and-social-enterprise |
After dropping recent releases on the Kling Klong and Great Stuff stables, here Larry Cadge returns home to the Smiley Fingers label, with a 3-track release that ably demonstrates the label’s knack for perfect balancing upbeat energy with functional tech house grooves.
Cadge’s lead ‘dope’ mix of Serendipity offers a mix of classic house grooves and slick tech house production, with the quirky percussive elements placed right in the spotlight, and its driving bassline keeping things rolling along nicely. In classic Smiley Fingers fashion, there’s a light sprinkle of melodic elements, though without overpowering the groove.
Berlin veteran Gunnar Stiller takes the energy up a few notches with his remix, with a house cut that packs the requisite punch DJ tool that’s locked and loaded for the dancefloor.
Meanwhile, Cadge’s own ‘cool’ mix of Serendipity shifts the percussive elements back a little in the mix for a rerub that brings a heavier, punchier sound to the clubs.

Coronal cavities have previously been observed associated with long-lived quiescent filaments and are thought to correspond to the associated magnetic flux rope. Although the standard flare model predicts a coronal cavity corresponding to the erupting flux rope, these have only been observed using broadband imaging data, restricting analysis to the plane-of-sky. We present a unique set of spectroscopic observations of an active region filament seen erupting at the solar limb in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV). The cavity erupted and expanded rapidly, with the change in rise phase contemporaneous with an increase in non-thermal electron energy flux of the associated flare. Hot and cool filamentary material was observed to rise with the erupting flux rope, disappearing suddenly as the cavity appeared. Although strongly blue-shifted plasma continued to be observed flowing from the apex of the erupting flux rope, this outflow soon ceased. These results indicate that the sudden injection of energy from the flare beneath forced the rapid eruption and expansion of the flux rope, driving strong plasma flows which resulted in the eruption of an under-dense filamentary flux rope. | 2019-04-19T22:17:39 | http://solar.physics.montana.edu/cgi-bin/eprint/edit_entry.pl?entry=48483 |

This serum is amazing! Truly for years I have had a noticeable broken view under my eye. I used to have it treated but it was expensive and only lasted a couple of weeks. This remarkable serum has made it disappear! It has evened out my skin tone, although a rather large age spot has not disappeared but is definitely less noticeable. Be warned though, the serum is very liquid and the first pump shot out, it did tingle at the first few applications but not any longer. Tingling is good right! I don't however, find it very moisturising and not awfully sure if layering is making it less effective. I like all the Retinols too and get a whiff of caffeine if I apply the Retinol serum over the top. Any advice Beauty Pie?
Hi Wendy, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're thrilled to hear how effective you've found this product to be for you. We'd certainly recommend layering with hydrating products such as any of our moisturizers or the Retinol range.
Great serum. Is working on a couple of dark spots that surfaced on my face in the last couple of years. Nice texture. Absorbs quickly. Light fresh fragrance. I’d highly recommend.
Have seen a slight decrease in acne scarring since using (only had it for a couple of weeks) would recommend!
At the end of the bottle and i am repurchasing this fantastic brightening treatment. I have some long standing pigmentation issues, hormonal, sun damage, medication side effect and so on. I have good skin but this bothers me. This serum, alongside the vitamin c capsules has transformed my skin. Nothing will get rid of pigmentation, nothing topical can do that. This does blur the pigmentation and give the most amazing glow to the skin. The sort that has everyone asking if you have been on holiday. I am a skincare junkie of some 30+ years and this is the best serum I have ever used. | 2019-04-20T22:26:47 | https://www.beautypie.com/all-skincare/sensitive-skin/lumiboost-spot-brightening-serum |

Joining Jesus on His Mission by Greg Finke: Are you ready to go beyond living your life for Jesus to living life with Jesus? Joining Jesus on His Mission will alter the way you see your life as a follower of Jesus. Simple, powerful and applicable insights show you how to be on mission and recognize where Jesus is already at work in your neighborhoods, workplaces and schools.
Loaded Words by Heather Choate Davis: No one wants to be part of a religion filled with old, hard, mean-sounding words Sin. Hell. Repent. Submit. Judgment. The funny thing is that at the heart of each of these "loaded words" are some of the most beautiful, gracious, life-giving truths that words can convey. Unfortunately, these words have gotten so weighed down with social, cultural and doctrinal baggage that even practicing Christians are hard-pressed to embrace or explain them. That's where Loaded Words comes in. By showing how and why these key faith terms have been misused, abused, and wholly misunderstood—both in the church and in the culture—we can "unload" them, revealing their original language and context, and re-introducing the great mercy, comfort and joy behind the teachings of Jesus. Written in a lively and highly accessible style and illuminated with contemporary aha! moments, Loaded Words opens up the wisdom of 12 foundational Bible words in a whole new way.
Man Turned in on Himself by Heather Choate Davis:The premise of this book is simple: sin is dead. Not the state of sin, of course, but the word itself, and the impact of the word, which, for the better part of human history helped individuals and communities—both pagan and religious—recognize when they were “missing the mark.” Until we can make sin understood again, and begin to restore its rightful place at the breaking point of the human condition, none of the promises of God’s saving love will ring true. Man turned in on himself is a Renaissance-era image of sin that reflects our modern day suffering— anxiety, depression, apathy, loss of purpose and community, our disordered relationship to technology—and calls it by its rightful name. Sin as “scarlet letter” has only pushed people further from grace. May sin as homo incurvatus in se help bring them back.
Leading Multicultural Teams by Evelyn and Richard Hibbert: Churches and mission agencies are increasingly characterized by cultural diversity. As a result, many Christians find themselves working as part of a multicultural team. Leading these teams is a complex challenge that requires team leaders to understand how to help multicultural teams thrive. Team leaders need to know how to help team members grow in particular qualities and acquire specific skills related to multicultural teamwork. This book integrates insights from the Bible, team theory, leadership, and intercultural studies to explain how leaders of multicultural teams can help their teams become enriching and enjoyable contexts to work in, at the same time as achieving their purpose.
Ministering in Honor-Shame Cultures by Jayson Georges and Mark Baker: Many a Westerner has had a cross-cultural experience of honor and shame. First there are those stuttering moments in the new social landscape. Then after missed cues and social bruises comes the revelation that this culture―indeed much of the world―runs on an honor-shame operating system. When Western individualism and its introspective conscience fails to engage cultural gears, how can we shift and navigate this alternate code? And might we even learn to see and speak the gospel differently if we did? In Ministering in Honor-Shame Cultures Jayson Georges and Mark Baker help us decode the cultural script of honor and shame. What's more, they assist us in reading the Bible anew through the lens of honor and shame, often with startling turns. And they offer thoughtful and practical guidance in ministry within honor-shame contexts. Apt stories, illuminating insights and ministry-tested wisdom complete this well-rounded guide to Christian ministry in honor-shame cultures.
Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes by E. Randolph Richards and Brandon J. O'Brien: Biblical scholars Brandon O'Brien and Randy Richards shed light on the ways that Western readers often misunderstand the cultural dynamics of the Bible. They identify nine key areas where modern Westerners have significantly different assumptions about what might be going on in a text. Drawing on their own crosscultural experience in global mission, O'Brien and Richards show how better self-awareness and understanding of cultural differences in language, time and social mores allow us to see the Bible in fresh and unexpected ways. Getting beyond our own cultural assumptions is increasingly important for being Christians in our interconnected and globalized world. Learn to read Scripture as a member of the global body of Christ.
Sola!: What are we fighting for? by Heather Choate Davis and Leann Luchinger: T.S. Eliot says that, “the life of Protestantism depends on the survival of that against which it protests.” If this is true, then the future of the Church depends on our recognizing what we’re fighting for, what we’re fighting against, who we’re fighting with, and maybe, above all, who we are ignoring while we’re doing all this fighting. By reclaiming the central cry of the Reformation—sola gratia! sola fide! sola scriptura!—we can grow in our shared understanding of "the good fight" of the Gospel in the 21st Century. Six tight chapters, each with its own robust discussion/study guide and answer key. Ideal for small group or all church study.
Joining Jesus: Show Me How by Greg Finke: The way Jesus disciples people is simple and results in unschooled, ordinary followers participating in the mission of the Father and discipling others to do the same. This book will help you regain the clarity and simplicity of how Jesus disciples people in the gospels so that you can disciple your children, friends, neighbors or fellow church members to get up, follow Jesus and join him on his mission, too.

In my previous blog, I discussed the presence of different vocal registers in the singing voice. These were broken down into chest, middle and head voice registers. For all voices, there is a point in which the shift from one register to another occurs. Usually, this is a particular pitch (unique to each singer), and it is known as the passaggio. This is one of the most important techniques I work on mastering with my students in their singing lessons.
In Italian, passaggio simply means “passage.” Since we discussed three vocal registers, there are naturally two points of transition for a singing voice. These are known as the primo (first) passaggio and the secondo (second) passaggio. Much like register assignment, where in the scale a passaggio may occur depends on each singer’s physical makeup. The primo passaggio takes place in between the chest and middle registers, while the secondo passaggio lies between the middle and head registers.
For most sopranos, the primo passaggio is located around Eb4 (below middle C), and the secondo lies usually between C#5 (one octave above middle C) and F#5. A tenor’s primo passaggio generally lies between C# and E, while a baritone’s can be up to three scale degrees lower. No one singer is the same. The best way to discover your own passaggi is to vocalize slowly, singing up a scale (8 notes). For the primo passaggio, start well in your chest register (for women middle C is a good starting point, while for men the F below middle C). If you pay close attention, you will notice a lightening of your sound, and a lesser vibration in your chest. For the second passaggio, men should start their scale around A4, and women around G4 (above middle C). When reaching the transitional point, you will notice the brighter, ringing tone of the head voice taking over. For help finding the specific pitches to start your scales, see this piano key cheat sheet.
As mentioned in my previous post, the goal for singing is create a consistent sound from the top to bottom of your range. This unification of sound is much easier to discuss rather than accomplish, thanks in large part to the presence of the two passaggi. I mentioned the need for vowel modification in the upper (head register) range, which is one aspect of adjusting the voice. Equally important is the need to resist the urge to bring up the weightier chest register too far into the middle and upper ranges.
Failing to observe these technical ideals will result in an abrupt switch in the tone and production quality of a singer’s sound. I like to compare this abrupt transition to the functioning of a manual (stick) shift car to an automatic transmission. One happens so smoothly that the rider is sometimes unaware that there has even been a shift in gears. The other can be an extremely unpleasant experience!
Additionally, a singer who does not incorporate the mixing of registers in their sound (like many “belters”) often find that they reach a ceiling in their vocal power. Past a certain note in their range, they are simply unable to maintain their sound, and are either unable to produce clear tones in their head register (due to vocal damage) or must shift to their head voice, resulting in a significant change in tone/power/etc.
Next week’s post will focus on the practice of “belting,” which I think merits its own article.
Hi! Good article. I have been developing my head voice and practicing shifting between the registers. I am a male singer, and my main Passaggio point seems to be around an A, right below middle C. For some reason, I can transition pretty smoothly when using an "e" or "oo" vowel, but when I try in on "ah," I experience a raspy tone going through the Passaggio. Is there a way to eliminate this, so it will be as smooth as it is on the other vowels?
Yes, It sounds in that way because your sound got open, Try to do "ah-i" in Passaggio zone and when you are about to change the vowel just imagine that the "ah" is a "I", it might help you.
what would my vocal type be if my primo passagio is C4 going into my middle range and my second passagio is D5 going into my head voice, my range is A2-F#5. I don't know if I'm countertenor, lyric, or leggero tenor, please help me.
Reggie, you can read more about the Fach system for classifying voices here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fach, but I'd suggest you not worry about what your voice type is. Instead, just worry about singing music that sounds great for your voice! If you really want to classify your voice, you'd need to work with a teacher or other professional, since it's not just about your breaks. It's also about the range and the weight of your voice.
We can't do that in a written description.
I don't think you meant to say that the soprano's first passaggio is Eb below middle C.
Hi Mike, thanks for reading my article!
For expanding the connected head voice (what you are referring to as "mixed voice"), I would suggest going from the top down. With male singers looking to have fuller sound in the extreme range- high C and above- I recommend starting in the falsetto, and gradually adding more chest connection on a downward moving line. For instance, switching from "ooh" to "ahh" over the course of a descending 5-note pattern (sol-fa-mi-re-do), adding a bit more power on each note. This way, you will avoid putting too much weight on the voice in that high range, but can start to experiment with creating a fuller sound that will match your lower notes.
ah! And I think that my head voice its developed solidly, I sing it with power and I reach A5 without being so screechy, in a Thom Yorke or Buckley way. So thats why I want to develop my mix voice to the top of its range. | 2019-04-24T12:40:45 | https://www.sagemusic.co/the-passaggio-an-important-part-of-the-singing-voice/ |
With football season right around the corner, these sriracha honey chicken wings are the perfect addition to your game day menu! Chicken wings and drumettes are tossed in a mixture of buttermilk and hot sauce, marinated overnight and then baked to a crispy perfection in a hot oven. Tossed in a sauce made up of butter, sriracha, honey, garlic and chipotle hot sauce, these sriracha honey chicken wings are a must-have for game day! They are addicting, delicious and super simple!
You guys know we are getting close. Oh sure, summer coming to an end is never exciting, but we have much to look forward to! Football season is right around the corner! College or professional, we all know that American football is one of the most celebrated sports once fall rolls around.
Besides the multiple fantasy leagues we join and the numerous beers we consume, the best part of football season is the food, and our obsession with it has only grown in past years. I remember a couple of years ago when the grocery stores couldn’t keep avocados and chicken wings stocked on game day. Guacamole and chicken wings…that’s basically what football season is all about.
First on the list of extreme tailgating recipes are these sriracha honey chicken wings. Zach is OBSESSED with wings, and because I refuse to let him use the deep fryer anymore (I actually made him throw it away – that thing is the devil), we’ve grown quite accustomed to baking them. I know this scares some people. How can you get that crispiness without frying them?! Well, I am here to prove you wrong. You can get just as much crispiness without making a huge mess and having that “fry smell” that lingers in your house for days! These sriracha honey chicken wings need to be added to your game day menus this year! Put it in the vault!
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the hot sauce. Add the wings to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Remove from fridge, drain completely and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray generously with a non-stick spray. Pour the wings onto the prepared baking sheet and space apart evenly. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and bake for 45-50 minutes or until brown and crispy, flipping the chicken wings at the 35 minute mark.
While your wings are baking, prepare your sriracha honey sauce. To a small saucepan, add the butter, sriracha, honey, chipotle hot sauce, soy sauce and garlic powder. Whisk to combine and cook over medium low heat, until the butter has melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and transfer the sauce to a large bowl.
Add the crispy chicken wings to the bowl with the sauce and toss to evenly coat. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
It’s 100% too soon for me to start the pumpkin as well, let me get through August please????! My husband (and me of course) would DIE over these! So saucy!
These look sooo amazing! YUM!
Ok, you aren’t messing around with this recipe even a little bit. Buttermilk and soak overnight! HECK YES! My husband is going to love these. We are huge football fans so this is happening for sure one of those gameday weekends!
We are looking forward to football season at our house too! LOVE these wings! Pinned!
I can’t wait to for fall and football season! Who doesn’t like yummy snack and bar food?! And these honey sriracha wings? Sign me up!
These look like my perfect chicken wing! Sweet and spicy, so yum!
These look absolutely perfect! I love wings!
ME TOO! Thanks so much, Meg!
Thanks for the pin, Mariah!
I’m glad we are on the same page. ;) Thanks Mira! | 2019-04-25T16:51:30 | http://www.cookingandbeer.com/2015/08/sriracha-honey-chicken-wings/ |
SACRAMENTO — Returning to his alma mater, C.K. McClatchy High School, Attorney General Xavier Becerra stood in front of students, parents and cameras Tuesday night to deliver the Democratic response to the State of the Union in Spanish.
“It says to other students that it does not matter where you come from, how humble your background may be, you can reach those dreams through hard work,” said C.K. McClatchy Principal Peter Lambert.
Having sued the Trump administration 45 times over varying issues, the attorney general is used to being at odds with the president. His speech was expected to be no exception.
“He is the symbol of resistance in California,” said CALmatters columnist Dan Walters.
Walters said we should expect immigration and health care to be top focuses for Becerra’s rebuttal.
“He’ll be talking about immigration, seeing himself as kind of the embodiment of the American dream. His parents were immigrants from Mexico,” Walters told FOX40.
While Tuesday night’s speeches are mostly symbolic, Walters says talking points will be geared toward party agendas for the presidential election.
As for students watching in the audience, just seeing an alumnus from their school on the national stage is a point of pride.
The attorney general’s speech was not the first time a State of the Union response was delivered in Spanish, as well as English. The first time that happened was back in 2011.
I know I am the product of those who fought to open the doors of opportunity. The optimism – that characterizes the waves of immigrants who have come here – runs through my blood. And if the state of our nation can be characterized as “strong,” it is because people like my parents and yours — citizens or immigrant — built this country.

The low temperature vacuum evaporator vaporizes water at lower temperature around 40 Deg. C than normal 100 Deg. C due to vacuum.
The low temperature vacuum evaporator mainly consists of an evaporator tank 2, evaporator heat exchanger 4, process water circulation pump 3, refrigerant compressor 8, condenser heat exchanger 7, distillate tank 11, vacuum producing venture 13, and distillate circulating pump 12. The feed water enters the evaporator tank 2, and the feed water is circulated by the pump 3 to evaporator heat exchanger 4, where the feed water is heated by high pressure refrigerant from the refrigerant compressor 8. The hot water flashes as water vapor into the evaporator tank at the top. This water vapor passes through the mist eliminator 16 and the condenser heat exchanger 7. The refrigerant from the evaporator heat exchanger passes through air cooler and expansion valve and becomes cool liquid. The cool refrigerant cools the hot water vapor to distillate. The distillate is collected in the distillate tank. The distillate is circulated by the distillate circulation pump through a venture, which produces vacuum in the evaporator tank. The vacuum produced by the venturi in the evaporation tank causes process water boils between 40 to 50 Deg. C. The concentrated process water from the evaporator tank and the distillate from the distillate tank are automatically drained by the electrical controls. All necessary controls and switch gears are part of the system.

run, zoe, run!: Reviews, Giveaways and some...walking?
I'm still around. Pretty busy with work, summer events, thinking about this Goober kid, and trying to get the house in order.
I have some reviews and giveaways lined up, and I'll be working on them ASAP. Some are MONTHS overdue, and I apologize to the lovely people that sent me stuff to try out!
Lastly, running doesn't like me at the moment. Well, my body doesn't like running at the moment is more like it. I may have pulled or torn that groin ligament because after every run I can barely walk and it feels terrible. So, I'm walking instead and looking for a good time to swim at the local pool. I've just hit a rough patch with running, and I have to listen to what my body says because ultimately, it's all about Miss Goober right now. Speaking of Miss Goober, she's quite the little strong one already...and I think she may end up running faster than me. ;) 26 weeks tomorrow! Wow, how time is going so quickly!
So it's a MISS Goober? So exciting! You are wise to listen to your body. Glad time is flying for you!
I have been doing mostly walking and some swimming myself - due to a knee injury. Just keep moving!
Walking sounds like a good idea for the time-being. I hope you get to fit in some swimming too! Keep taking care of yourself, girl!
I would imagine a torn groin going into labor/delivery would be a bad combo...rest it up and listen to your body!! Hope you start feelin' better!
funny how the body is ok with running one week and not so much the next.
Yep, good call. You dont want that ligiment giving you problems in 14 weeks when you are, well...getting Miss Goober out into the world!
And was there any dowbt that Miss Goober would be fast?!
That picture with your cat is so cute! :) Take it easy with Miss Goober; there will lots of running for you after she is born! :) And then you'll have a reason to buy one of those cool jogging strollers!
ahhh that sound painful! You should get a massage! I love your lil belly, too cute!
Aw, take care of you and Miss Goober. Running will always be there, but, you won't always be growing a sweet little future runner in there. Take it easy and enjoy this time.
boo for the groin/pulled thingy :( at least you have a great excuse with the goober to take it easy!

Open for Afternoon Tea from 11am until 5pm.
Sorry it’s taken so long! We had a lovely meal and the waitress was very helpful.
Made all the more special as it was our 30th wedding anniversary and we had a lovely, surprise dessert as an anniversary treat.
Service very slow. Despite booking in advance, felt we were invisible to staff. A special birthday celebration did not feel special.
We asked for no seafood and recived salmon sandwiches. The quality of the sandwiches were not great. The cakes were okay however, I would say the price charged is not representative of the quality of the food. I’m sorry it’s not positive however, I would rather be honest.
Staff were marvellous. Very welcoming and attentive. Beautiful surroundings and lovely afternoon tea.
We all had a lovely experience, thankyou.
My wife and I regularly have afternoon teas so we feel well qualified to pass constructive criticism. This was a special occasion with my twin sister and 87 year old parents and Carden Park Hotel seemed a perfect venue for afternoon tea.
Firstly, whilst I cannot fault the venue, it came as a shock to see people wandering around the lounge area in white robes and slippers detracted from the grandeur of our occasion. I believe it is reasonable that guests frequenting the spa facilities should be encouraged to be respectful of the other guests and dress suitably in public places.
Secondly, the quality of the food was excellent but the quantity, three finger sandwiches each was derisory and poor value for money at £20 each.
Principally, for these two reasons we would not return or recommend Carden Park Hotel to others.
Excellent value, staff very accommodating.
Very disappointed, bread was stale. Virtually no service. Waited an age to be served.
First time at the hotel and bar. Great afternoon tea especially the big pot of tea which was very appreciated.
A lovely relaxed afternoon tea, served by staff that were happy to help in any way.
Really happy with the hospitality. The atmosphere provided for a lovey end of term get together for me and my team. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was beautiful. All positive feedback from us and would definitely come back to do something similar again. Thank you very much.
The cakes for afternoon tea were very rich with too much cream for me. But it was good to see a lot of fires going on a really miserable wet and windy day in June.
Very disappointing. Had been for spa day then thought good end to the day would be afternoon tea. Very poor value for money. 3 tiny, tiny sandwiches each & one with only cucumber on!!! Asked if they would be replenished & was told no. Cakes were nice. Tea was served in a huge pot just for one person - so it was quite stewed after first cup! Very disappointing end to our visit.
Lovely setting for an afternoon tea. It was for a 80th Birthday, she loved the location and the food. We all had a relaxing afternoon. Thank you for being so attentive.
We travelled 50 miles for a Mothers Day experience and there was absolutely no Mother's Day experience and our two Children aged 11yrs and 15yrs who didn't want to join us for afternoon tea at 1pm were told they could only have a sandwich otherwise would need to eat in another restuarant where they did hot food. Great venue spoilt by lack of customer care, poor service and generally disengaged people. Won't rush back with my work or golf society friends. | 2019-04-24T18:27:29 | https://www.resdiary.com/restaurant/morgansbar |

In numerology 2+0+1+6=9 and 9 is the year of endings and change. No one could deny there was so much of it last year, losing iconic celebrities like David Bowie and Alan Rickman at the start through to George Michael, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds at the end, and so many in between. There were countless terrorist attacks – I was very close by during two of them – plus the usual and at times, unusually-located flurry of weather hazards and natural disasters. Then there was senseless tragedy, helplessness and devastation for the vulnerable people of Aleppo, as well as broader Syria and Yemen. The wider Western public gave in to fear and wayward politicians, voting in Brexit and Trump and changing this liberal world as we know it. Time will tell but I think what people were really voting for was a pre-neoliberalist, pre-Reagan/Thatcher world where everyone had a full time job, comfortable wages and job security and adult children could afford their own house and dreams. Something no politician can achieve these days without dramatically changing the massive corporate power and wealth influencing the global government and world today.
Quite simply, it was quite a year. | 2019-04-26T09:59:16 | https://lifewithless.net/tag/endings/ |

For many years, military and insurgent operations in Pakistan have caused human suffering and large-scale internal displacements. This situation is compounded by the presence of almost 2.7 million Afghan refugees. Furthermore, Pakistan experiences recurring natural disasters, and suffers some of the world's worst food insecurity and chronic malnutrition.
The Afghan refugee crisis is among the largest and most protracted refugee crises in the world. Since 2015, there have been periods of intense pressure on refugees to return, often through harassment and intimidation, requiring a concomitant increase in protection services. Access to healthcare and education for refugees is also limited for several reasons.
The governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan reached agreements at the end of 2018 on measures to return large numbers of Afghans residing in Pakistan in 2019. The northwest of Pakistan and the areas bordering Afghanistan have also been affected by large-scale internal displacements due to insurgency. A military campaign launched in 2014 prompted the displacement of over a million people, adding to those still displaced from previous years. While more than 1.5 million internally displaced people have returned to their places of origin following an acceleration of returns over the past few years, over 96 000 people remained displaced as of December 2018.
Pakistan is one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries and frequently experiences multiple disasters in a given year; the province of Sindh has been repeatedly affected by both floods and drought. High levels of malnutrition, coupled with limited access to water, sanitation and medical services, have compromised the healthcare capacities of the most vulnerable communities.
In 2018, the European Union allocated €5.5 million to provide assistance to internally displaced Pakistanis and Afghan refugees, as well as to strengthen the resilience and the capacity of vulnerable communities to respond to future natural disasters.
Current humanitarian actions in Pakistan focus on three separate but interrelated crises: support for people affected by the conflict in the northwest; for Afghan refugees living in Pakistan and for those affected by food insecurity related to climate change and recurrent natural disasters.
The European Commission assists the most vulnerable displaced Pakistanis both in their areas of refuge and in the destroyed areas to which they are returning, notably with support for water and sanitation facilities. Although most Afghan refugees are integrated into Pakistani society, some live precariously in isolated communities where EU-funded projects assist them with healthcare services, water and sanitation facilities, and legal protection services. The EU also contributes to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) that provides protection for refugees, as well as an organised return programme.
In the arid and drought-prone province of Sindh, the EU funds a programme that focuses on promoting the integration of emergency nutritional shock response protocols into the government-led programme to tackle long-term malnutrition and food insecurity.
The EU has operated in Pakistan since the 1990s, providing humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict and major natural disasters, including the 2005 earthquake and the devastating floods between 2010 and 2015, which affected a total of over 30 million people. Relief items were channelled to flood victims through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. Since 2009, EU humanitarian aid to people in need in Pakistan has totalled €554.5 million. | 2019-04-19T17:09:24 | https://ec.europa.eu/echo/where/asia-and-pacific/pakistan_en |
The Biology & Society Major is designed for students who wish to combine training in biology with perspectives from the social sciences and humanities on the social, political and ethical aspects of modern biology. Students examine the impact of genetic engineering and new medical technologies; the influence of heredity versus environment on human behavior; issues surrounding environmental quality and sustainability; and the ethical, legal, and social aspects of modern medicine.
Students who complete the requirements for the Biology & Society major leave Cornell with well-developed writing and analytical skills and with the ability to confront complex issues.
Biology and biotechnology are major sources of influence on personal and social life. Additionally, social and historical conditions have profound influence on biological research, and on the applications of such research in medicine, agriculture, and other fields. Biological research itself is a social process involving personal and commercial competition, different styles of work and interpretation, and complex human interactions. This course aims to introduce students to basic science and technology studies (S&TS) perspectives on biological knowledge and biotechnology.
Politicians, scientists, and citizens worldwide face many environmental issues today, but they are neither simple nor straightforward. Moreover, there are many ways to understand how humans have, do, and could value the environment from animal rights and wise use to deep ecology and ecofeminism. This class acquaints students with some of the challenging moral issues that arise in the context of environmental management and policy-making, both in the past and the present.
Review the CALS Academic Experience section to learn more about what you will study as a CALS student.
Evaluate your interests and goals. If, as a Biology and Society major, you want to examine environmental ethics, environmental policy, sustainable development, and population dynamics, the CALS offerings in areas such as Environmental Science and Sustainability and Developmental Sociology could enhance your studies in this major. | 2019-04-24T18:54:34 | https://admissions.cals.cornell.edu/academics/majors/biology-and-society/ |
I think I have a Honky Tonk Angel… | Love Yourself Through It!
yeah…and I think that she effects me in large ways.
I call her Halelula. She looks a great deal like Dolly Parton, but not the skinny, new millenia version. No..No…like the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas version, with the fabulous big wigs and matching hips.
Just lots of good will…and maybe one small thrill….but there’s NOTHIN Dirty goin on!
She’s not the angel that you would think of when ever you think of an angel…but she is a good one. I love her. I do.
She leads me to be sweet, and to smile at folk that aren’t smiling. She leads me to love unconditionally and to preach that love to those who to hear it and to spread it around like fertilizer on a rose garden. She encourages me to feed people and starve hatred. She teaches me to hug with full body and and extra squeeze, and to mean it when I do it. She shines as brightly as the rhinestones on her dress and that blonde wig perched atop big eyes and high cheekbones is a luminous halo. She shows me that beauty comes from all places and in all ways and that the light of Spirit in each of us is the most fabulous sight to behold. She lets me see it, and makes me humbled in it…and grateful for the gift of it.
She leads me to the pathway of beauty…both inside and out.
She sits on my shoulder at the beauty supply store while I peruse the wigs and false eyelashes. She was there with me every morning of my sixth grade year, as I hid behind the garage to smear frosty blue eyeshadow on my lids before I caught the bus. She was with me at the Revco when I used my first allowance to buy a pair of false eyelashes and a set of tabby nails. She has held my hand at every audition that I have ever had, and guided me in the direction that I needed to go. Her opinon has been a blessing in every dressing room and lingerie section that I have ever set foot in. And how could I ever have stood tall in my shoes without her gentle nudging towards shoe stores with four inch heels?
She let me know that sometimes speaking isn’t the only way to share your love. So, she helped me find the chord progression on the guitar that I can play with fingernails. She whispered in my ear ” Baby, you know four chords, you can sing about anything.” She was right, and she’s right there with me, tapping her divine foot, while I beat that guitar half to death to sing some hurtin kinda song.
She tells me everyday in my ear that I am the best thing since sugar. She came to me today twice to let me know it. I sure did need to hear it. She tells me in so many ways, and I promised her today that I would start to pay attention. She tells me in every hug I get and every smile that is given to me. She tells me in every ring of laughter or when someone says my name with a smile on their lips. She lets me see it reflected in the eyes of those who care about me. I hope they see it back for themselves.
So, tonight I think I am gonna have a cocktail in her honor. She digs that……okay, I dig that…whatever. But I am going to say thank you to her from the middle of a country girl’s heart. We may pick up the guitar or just sing some karaoke, either way we will be raising the vibration of the day…of the week….and we all love that.
PS….almost one month no sugar, y’all. A little Asian woman tried to trip me up yesterday at the Chinese restaurant. Halelula was right there and someone drank theirs first and caught it before I did! If I am gonna mess this up it is going to be with creme brulee’ or a ho ho or something…not with a damned glass of tea, y’all!
Smooch out, angels. Big Love on all of you!

Mangrove forests in Kenya cover about 61,271 ha, representing approximately 3.0% of the natural forest cover or less than 1.0% of the national land area. About 59% of these forests occur in Lamu County. There are nine mangrove species in Kenya, with Rhizophora mucronata (or mkoko) and Ceriops tagal (mkandaa) being the most dominant. Mangrove ecosystems offer a range of benefits and opportunities for local and national economic development; hence they should be protected and conserved. This ecosystem, however, faces serious threats associated with their deforestation and degradation. Root causes of mangrove loss and transformations have been identified as; increased population, weak governance, inadequate awareness of the true value of mangrove ecosystems, high levels of poverty, lack of alternative livelihoods, and inadequate management prescriptions. Mangrove losses in turn have negative impacts on fisheries, shoreline stability, and resource sustainability. The upsurge in large scale developments e.g. LAPSSET, commercial mining, large scale irrigational agriculture, bioprospecting for hydrocarbons etc. may further aggravate mangrove loss.
The country has just developed a mangrove management plan whose objective is to sustain the supply of mangrove goods and services for local and national development. The Plan is prepared in compliance with the Forests Act (2005), which provides for preparation of management plans for all gazetted forests. It provides a road map towards sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems in Kenya for enhanced livelihoods. The Plan embraces collaborative and participatory approaches in natural resource governance that leads to ownership of the initiatives by the stakeholders. It takes cognizance of other existing policies relating to land and land use, agriculture, fisheries, energy, environment, mining, wildlife, and water. Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM), as defined by Convention on Biological Diversity, was largely used to guide the development of this Plan. It recognizes the inter-connectivity among ecological, socio-cultural, economic, and institutional arrangements.
For effective management of mangroves in the country, the Plan has proposed six programmes including; forest conservation and utilization; fisheries development and management; community; tourism development; research and education; and human resource and operations. These programmes prescribe measures for rehabiliation, conservation, and sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems in Kenya. Implementations of this Plan will be led by Kenya Forest Service (KFS); but will also include other key actors such as Kenya Wildlife Service, State Department of Fisheries, Research Institutions, Academia and Community Forest Associations through a specially constituted National Mangrove Advisory Committee. | 2019-04-20T16:44:41 | http://wiomn.org/countries/kenya/mangroves-of-kenya/ |

Current market of smartphones is full of different gadgets for different classes and with different specs. And if you want to remain abreast of modern technologies it is a must to have a smartphone. But it is really easy to get lost and confused by all these variants.
That’s why I suggest you a step-by-step tutorial on how to choose a smartphone for you. I have followed it by myself and I have bought a gadget that totally satisfies my needs.
Smartphones available at the market have diversity on prices for various types. You may find a smartphone for $150 and another type for $1000. However, in general the prices are between $200-500, so smartphones are not the premium gadgets for the rich. Their cost lows down almost every quarter because of the releases of new devices. So, the basic rule is the newer they are and the higher their price. But it also should be noted that it is impossible to catch up with all latest developments, so set the budget limit and start choosing. | 2019-04-21T20:31:59 | http://techybloggerz.com/choose-smartphone/ |

Millesima used a quiz to reach the wine connoisseur market. The brand got 8,500 new, qualified fans on Facebook and collected 2,500 opt-in addresses.
For Easter, Kiabi decided to engage its community through an incremental photo contest. The brand exceeded the symbolic milestone of one million fans thanks to this campaign.
TomTom launched a photo contest in 14 countries simultaneously, which significantly raised the brand's visibility during the launch of the Android version.
Danone Canada asked its community to vote for the ending of a video ad starring the brand's hero. The company collected 20,000 entries this way.
For promoting its various events, the Stade de France chose Kontest because of its flexibility and effectiveness.
To keep the conversation going with the customers of its network of branches, Crédit Agricole chose to use the Kontest + Hootsuite combo throughout the Group.
Winamax took advantage of the many customization features to create a contest that reflected its brand image. The result: 7,600 entries in only 7 days. Jackpot!
What I like about Kontest is the diversity in terms of games, and the fact that they're completely customizable.
For two years, Feuillatte champagnes has used our solution to animate its Facebook page regularly. Through games, the brand has been able to acquire and engage a loyal audience.
Scania subscribed to Kontest, which enables the company to create unlimited games to engage ground transport professionals. | 2019-04-21T12:16:14 | https://kontestapp.com/reviews-case-studies?force=true |
Kid Rock has been fired as Grand Marshal of Nashville’s Christmas parade over remarks he made about the View co-host Joy Behar on Fox & Friends on Friday, Rolling Stone is reporting.
On Friday, as reported by the Inquisitr, Kid Rock (real name: Robert James Ritchie) was being interviewed in Nashville by a remote Fox & Friends crew when the subject of the tense and divisive mood in the country came up. Rock suggested that political correctness and a general sense of uptightness ruled the day, making it easy for people to be offended, and that things would be better if everyone just lightened up. Except for Joy Behar.
The remark caught the Fox & Friends hosting panel off-guard, so much so that co-host Steve Doocy apologized and chided Rock for the remark (“you cannot say that, we apologize for that.”) Further, co-host Ainsley Earhardt also apologized when the cameras cut back to the show’s studios in New York.
Besides getting himself an immediate and on-air dressing-down from the Fox & Friends cast, it appears now that Rock’s remarks have cost him his job as the Grand Marshall of Nashville’s Christmas parade.
Over in Nashville, parade organizers were quick to distance themselves from Kid’s remarks. In a joint statement, parade sponsors Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, Piedmont Natural Gas, and Tennessee Holiday Productions all said that Kid Rock’s former job would go to James Shaw Jr. Shaw, for those not familiar, is considered a local hero in Nashville for having thwarted a mass shooting at a suburban Nashville Waffle House in April, according to Variety.
Meanwhile, Rock has apologized – sort of – for the remark about Behar. On Facebook, Kid said he shouldn’t have used naughty language on live TV, but that he will not apologize for his feelings about Behar.
Behar, for her part, invited Kid Rock to come to the View any time he would like to discuss things. | 2019-04-26T16:30:14 | http://lifestyles-ns.com/celebrities/kid-rock-fired-as-grand-marshal-of-nashville-christmas-parade-over-joy-behar-comments/ |
Churchill could have attended Roosevelt’s funeral in April 1945. The logistical difficulties were surmountable, as Roy Jenkins has observed. Yet he chose not to do so. It is difficult not to regard the prime minister’s absence as a reflection of the alienation between himself and the president… So much public sentiment was lavished upon the partnership between Britain and the United States during the war years, above all through the rhetoric of Churchill, that it is important to emphasize that affection played no part in the decisions or actions of either ally. At all times, tough negotiation and hard-headed calculation determined British and American behaviour.

The Fishbone Analysis diagram is used for identifying and visualizing the main causes leading to a particular problem or effect.
When making a Fishbone Analysis diagram firstly you need to define the problem or effect, which needs to be examined. After determining it, you can proceed with visualizing the main causes.
The ready-to-use template of a Fishbone Analysis Diagram created with iMindQ, for example, includes eight causes that contribute to a specific problem.
The template is editable and adaptable, so you can download and modify it by your preference. You can change the number of identified causes, which need to be at least four. In the end, start decomposing each cause into sub-causes until the root causes are determined. | 2019-04-20T04:59:35 | https://www.imindq.com/mind-map-templates/fishbone-analysis-diagram |
But what does “putting Jesus first” look like?
In our society, people who “get to go first” don’t have to stand in line like everyone else. They receive protection from all the normal people; they can have guards and gates and get ushered to the front row or the luxury boxes.
May you and I, and all who are trying to follow Jesus, be secure enough in our relationship with God that we, too, might not seek to be recognized as first, or as more important than others. May we follow the way of Jesus – and, in doing so, we’ll find we are putting Jesus first.
I’m a terrible person. Or so I am tempted to believe as a result of a phone conversation that ended a few minutes ago.
Of course, I can think of all kinds of reasons he was wrong, but all of these reasons are playing less loudly right now than the reminder of his voice.
“So, you hate veterans?” He hung up before I could answer.
Of course I don’t hate veterans! But, while I could have shot this simple statement out before he disconnected, I didn’t even mutter these words because that wasn’t an answer to what was actually happening.
He didn’t really care if I cared about veterans. He cared if I cared about him. Making things even more difficult than that, the only way I could prove to him that I cared about him was if I gave him exactly what he was asking for.
He did what he was supposed to do, right? His best play was the card he had that could most likely win; his best card was the “veteran” card. He had already played the “my grandfather was a pastor” card, and that hadn’t worked.
In that moment, he wanted me to play favorites. More accurately, he was hoping I would both play favorites and that he, in one category or another he had presented to me, was in my list of favorites.
That’s where most of us go to fight playing favorites. There are plenty of other places in the scripture we could go, if we wanted to. Matthew 19:24 and Matthew 25:31-46 come to mind quickly.
So was I playing favorites by choosing that verse?
Are we are always choosing to play favorites, one way or another? Is it really a matter of being honest with ourselves and with others about how we choose favorites?
I am left with the story of the starfish.
However it is that we play favorites, may we realize that in helping one, any one, we at least offer help to that one. Whether or not we change the world in doing so, we might hope to be part of the change in that one’s world. | 2019-04-18T12:33:36 | https://steveheyduck.com/category/generosity/ |
