One new enemy units will be seen here. Plus an additional shop that quite tricky to get there.
To get to the secret shop. In the area where the floor drops, look closely for an arrow pointing down.
You can just stand on the floor and drop. Just before you see another floor, jump. Or you can just step on the floor and walk behind a little. Then, just run through the gap without jumping.
Here is it the secret shop.
Shun Upgraded - Her attack more quick and can be simply avoided by gleam. HP increased about 500.
Marian II - Boss fight #4.
Each plant head HP is about 900. But it will change to another form (dragon and shark each of them respectively). Also, the new form HP is about 900. So, to kill one head plant you need to deal damage about 1800.
Sometimes, the main head plant drops some consumable. Take the chance to regenerate your health and magic power.
Upgraded form must be attack quickly (e.g. fireball). This can disable their attack.
After both plant head died, now the main weakness shown. Give a hard attack to it to end the mission.
Dont forget to take the diamonds! | 2019-04-18T21:09:09 | https://portforward.com/games/walkthroughs/Double-Dragon-Neon/Mission-8-Genetic-Research.htm |

If a good promotion and sales team were all it took to guarantee success, then Ford Motor Company’s Edsel would still be on the road today. With their theme of the “car designed around you,” Edsel did not suffer from want of promotion and salesmanship. As a part of a $2.5 billion expansion program, Ford Motor Company spent $250 million on the development of the Edsel including market research by Columbia University’s Bureau of Applied Social Research. And yet within two and one-half years of its introduction, the Edsel was proclaimed a flop and was withdrawn from the market. It often takes more than promotion and sales skills to guarantee success in the commercial market place. One of a number of factors surrounding the failure of the Edsel was the fact that the market for mid-priced cars was saturated and there was not sufficient consumer demand to support an additional competitor.
As we consider the issue of the promotion and sales of U.S. corn, wheat and soybeans, we need to remember the importance of effective demand. Without effective demand, even top salesperson Zig Ziglar and deal closer Donald Trump would not be able to achieve their goals. Following up on last week’s look at stimulating additional demand from existing customers, this week we will look at the strategies of cultivating new customers and luring customers away from our competitors.
Discovering that stimulating additional demand from our existing customers is a tough sell we could, instead, send Zig and The Donald out to try to sell more grain and seeds to countries who presently have some trade barriers that make imported grain more expensive than locally produced commodities. In general, countries establish trade barriers on food items for one or more of at least four reasons: 1) they wish to protect local agriculture and employment; 2) they see food as a national security issue; 3) they lack the cash to purchase agricultural products on a sustained basis; and 4) they wish to control the outflow of scarce hard currency. I doubt that salesmanship will make an immediate difference on any of these issues. Agricultural development may be seen by some countries as the first step in their economic development and they want to protect that first step. A century ago the U.S. sought to expand its economic base via an agricultural development program that included land distribution, investing in infrastructure, education, research, and protective tariffs. Once again, we need to remember that the desire for food security is an internal political issue little effected by the enthusiasm of a Zig Ziglar. Another group of potential customers are in countries like Somalia that have a high incidence of malnutrition. The only problem is that they have no money with which to purchase food, especially on a sustained basis. They only way they will be able provide a demand source for U.S. surplus grain is for the U.S., the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization or a charitable organization to provide it for them free or at significantly reduced prices. That would help work down inventories and raise prices but it is not the “market solution” that I think most have in mind.
So far our analysis has not turned up any hot prospects that we can turn our super sales team loose on. That leaves the one tried and true tactic: take customers away from our competitors. After all we know that these prospects are buyers and they have money. The present call to eliminate food embargoes against Cuba and Iraq is one part of the strategy to take customers away from our competitors because presently these embargoed countries are importing food from someone, just not the U.S. Likewise we could send out our sales team to meet with our competitors’ major customers. With some persuasion we might even gain some additional sales from these countries. If we could do that we would be making major strides, right? Well maybe, maybe not.
We need to recognize the dynamics of the markets, especially in corn and soybeans. The truth is that our competitors, Argentina and Brazil, sell out virtually all of their surplus production over domestic demand in the year it is produced. They have followed this pattern year in and year out for more than thirty years. We may not fully understand why this happens, but we must face the reality. Given this dynamic, I expect that if we displaced them in one market, they would displace some of our sales in another market so that end of the year they would have cleared their markets and U.S. carryover levels would be little different than they otherwise would have been.
In the end, it seems clear that even if we had Zig Ziglar serving as Undersecretary of Agricultural for Trade Promotion, price and income problems would likely remain for crop agriculture. On this issue of promotion, we need to separate out storable commodities (grains, seeds, and cotton) from perishable commodities like fruits, vegetables and meats. Promotion may work well for the perishables and even some of the grains where we are a minor producer. But, in the case of corn, wheat and soybean complex, the data suggest that we are the residual supplier of these commodities. If that is true, our sales are likely to be affected relatively little by promotion activities. | 2019-04-19T09:07:54 | http://agpolicy.org/weekcol/083.html |
Car insurance is a necessary evil for all drivers. Of course, if you don’t happen to be accident prone, paying expensive monthly or annual bills is a headache and seems equivalent to setting your wallet on fire. Of course, insurance companies are great at reminding us that the world is a wild and dangerous place and that more coverage equals better protection from the vagaries of the road and those costly surprises. Plus, there’s the fact that auto insurance is required by law.
So, as with airline tickets, hotels and many other necessary purchasing decisions, drivers want to be able to comparison shop for the best rates, deals and packages to limit costs and make an informed buy. In spite of the millions the big insurance companies spend on marketing, the industry remains inefficient, search and discovery is still messy and there really hasn’t been much innovation in recent memory. That’s why CoverHound launched its comparative insurance platform last summer — to introduce transparency and simplicity to insurance shopping.
Founded by veterans of insurance companies like InsWeb, Unitrin Direct and State Farm, the San Francisco-based startup is building a platform that provides consumers with instant, accurate and actionable rates from top carriers. Incubated alongside companies like Astrid, Kismet and Crittercism as a graduate of AngelPad’s startup accelerator, CoverHound allows everyday drivers to not only compare policies by buy and manage their plans directly through its platform.
With the number of policies sold through the platform growing by over 60 percent month-over-month, CoverHoud is announcing today that it has raised a $4.5 million round of series A financing led by RRE Ventures. Bullpen Capital and existing investor Blumberg Capital also contributed to the round, which brings the startup’s total funding to $6.5 million.
While plenty of the largest insurance companies offer comparative rates, CoverHound wants to become the Kayak of personal insurance, a destination that aggregates rates from all the major carriers and acts as an independent insurance agency. Carriers themselves have to hold and support the policies their customers purchase, while issuing and upholding the risk associated with each plan.
By remaining independent, CoverHound isn’t tied to the same risks that issuers are subject to with their customers/shareholders, however, the startup wants to make sure that it doesn’t allow its model to turn into a use to be a hands-off-type middleman.
Instead, the startup provides ongoing service to its policyholders, monitoring and adapting their policies as their needs change in attempt to ensure that they’re getting the best fit and pricing. It does this, in part, by providing its customers with access to professional advice both online and over the phone during the shopping process via its in-house team of insurance professionals.
The platform collects users’ basic personal information and what kind of policy the’re looking for, at which point it presents a list of prices and plans for the user to review. The startup has partnered with carriers like Travelers, GMAC, Safeco, Progressive and others to provide consumers with accurate, personalized rates.
The company is also attacking the B2B2C side of the industry with a portable “Storefront” that enables financial institutions to provide their customers with CoverHound’s rate comparisons and personalized policy vehicle. In other words, with a single snippet of code, banks and institutions can offer the startup’s insurance rates and policies, adding car insurance to the services they already provide online, like loans and credit cards, along with getting access to a supplemental revenue stream.
Now in over 30 states in the U.S., the startup plans to use its new funding to expand its support nationwide, ramp up hiring and continue to pursue partnerships with brands looking to power their own insurance channels. While it’s been primarily focused on auto insurance, CoverHound has begun to move into homeowners and motorcycle insurance and plans to build out support for other personal insurance products.
The startup declined to share specifics on its monetization (although, like any other insurance agent, CoverHound is paid a percentage of the premium for every policy they sell) or how much it’s been able to save its customers on insurance policies, which isn’t always a good sign; granted, it’s still in the early going.
Consumers are increasingly going online to research and discover the best insurance services and solutions, and this macro change in consumer purchasing behavior can work in CoverHound’s favor. Of course, while the online insurance shopping market is growing steadily, there are still plenty of options for insurance shoppers.
The big insurance providers have already established significant presences on the Web, and carriers like Progressive have been loudly touting their comparison shopping tools for years now in TV commercials that seem to air every five seconds. What’s more, the model feels more than a little familiar, to a degree derivative of web insurance pioneers like Esurance, which was the first platform to offer comparison quotes online. Progressive sold to Allstate in 2011 for $1 billion, and this consolidation could work in the startup’s favor.
If CoverHound is able to prove that its algorithmic comparison shopping engine is more refined and its service more personalized and consumer-friendly than these incumbents, there’s no reason to think it couldn’t be a huge business. But there are a lot of options and a lot of noise in this space, and while insurance of every stripe is always in need of greater transparency, startups have to work extremely hard to stand out.
What’s more, CoverHound is competing not just with giants like Progressive and Esurance but brokers as well, who essentially do their own comparison shopping to provide their clients with better deals. In the end, it’s all about who can offer the best rates, and certainly CoverHound could have a leg up by automating comparison shopping and removing the friction.

In order to appreciate the positive potential of the female diaconate, we must understand the absolute parity of women and men in the eyes of the Orthodox Church. The Church has always understood men and women to be equally created in the image and likeness of God, even if its broader cultural surrounding was highly patriarchal. As such, statements like this from Saint Basil were nothing short of radical: “The natures are alike of equal honor, the virtues are equal, the struggle equal, the judgment alike” (On the Human Condition). This thinking is representative of early Church Fathers, including Gregory of Nazianzus and Clement of Alexandria, and amounts to a rejection of any hierarchical understanding of the relationship between men and women in the Roman world. Indeed, this understanding of women and men as equal in their creation by God is one of Christianity’s great gifts to the world.
To be sure, this does not mean that all human life has been experienced in this way; indeed, the subjugation of women (at least within marriage) was part of the Fall (“[Your husband] shall rule over you” Genesis 3:16). We as Orthodox, however, do not enshrine any of the other characteristics of our fallen state outlined in Genesis as part of a sanctified and unquestioned order of things—difficult labor, our inclination toward violence, pain during childbirth, etc.—instead, we understand all of these conditions as worthy of our efforts to mitigate and overcome and that will ultimately be overcome.
There is nothing disrespectful to the Church in acknowledging that it has an imperfect historical record on this issue. In fact, it is our responsibility as Christians to lovingly mend any tears in the fabric of the Church’s earthly presence. Most importantly, these ideas have never been considered to be the basis for an Orthodox understanding of the essence of women and man, not in their own time nor our own.
The weight of our tradition reflects the sentiment expressed above by St. Basil: that women and men are equal, a truth which, of course, was illustrated by Jesus Christ himself. He accorded respect and dignity to women at every turn as recorded in the Gospels, even in the most unlikely of circumstances. There may be no greater affirmation of the respect, dignity, and equality of women with men that the fact that it was his women friends to whom he first appeared as the risen Christ.
And here is the second thing that must be understood in order to appreciate the possibility of the female diaconate for the Church today: Even within the context of the Church’s conviction of the essential equality of women and men, there is no sense that the Church understands women and men to be perfectly equivalent. Instead, there has always been an understanding and appreciation for the ways in which the human experience is lived out differently between women and men; the incarnational reality of women and men is not the same. This is reflected in the lives of the saints, in the marriage rite, in the iconography of the Church, the hymnography of the Church, and so on.
When we fully appreciate the fundamental parity between women and men, it becomes clear that any objection to the female diaconate based on women being subordinate to men holds no weight in the Orthodox context. And when we fully appreciate the longstanding acknowledgement of women and men’s different lived experiences and perspectives—their different incarnational realities—we also appreciate that men and women have different gifts to offer the Church.
In this light, the fading away of the female diaconate in the late Byzantine era for what looks to be complex historical reasons can only be understood as a tragedy. With an isolated exception here and there, for something like eight hundred years the Church has not benefited from women’s gifts offered as deaconesses. Of course, women have contributed to the life of the Church in innumerable ways in every historical and temporal context, but the loss of this sort of ordained ministry—which has the support, the protection, and oversight, and the authority of the Church—has deprived the Church of the experiences, perspectives, and unique gifts of generations of its faithful women.
An aside: Considering that the female diaconate has sound historical precedence and theological underpinnings, that the same cannot be said for the female priesthood, and that there is effectively no movement in the Orthodox Church today to even consider—much less push for—the female priesthood, we ought to be able to consider the female diaconate on its own merits.
Particular to the female diaconate: The Church needs its women’s gifts. It needs them by virtue of their baptism; simply on the basis of the unique gifts each human person has to offer. It also needs them because women have a different lived experience than men, a different incarnational reality than men, and therefore have different gifts to offer the Church as women. Women or men can offer the expertise of chaplains, administrators, pastoral counselors, but only women can offer the gifts garnered from their incarnational reality as women.
Any resistance to the female diaconate based on the concern that its effect would be to erase differences between women and men is unfounded. Instead, the female diaconate would honor the differences in the incarnational reality of women, and would allow the Church to benefit from these differences. In fact, refusing to consider the female diaconate out of fear of the Church succumbing to trends in the larger society around us that seek to elide any differences between women and men is actually, and ironically, a capitulation to society’s trends.
Women need women’s gifts; they need woman-to-woman ministry. This is not an antiquated idea that we here in enlightened America have outgrown. There is a reason I belong to an all-woman book group. There is wisdom behind the decision of the hospice where I volunteer to pair female respite caregivers with female patients (and male respite caregivers with male patients). There are times when a woman needs to be ministered to by another woman. And, yes, this happens informally in parishes (and book groups), but the good that could be done would be a hundredfold more if there were theologically and pastorally trained women ordained as deaconesses, ready to minister to other women, with the oversight, support, and authority of the Church.
The whole Church—not only women—needs women’s gifts. Women have a different lived experience of sexual abuse and assault, from which the whole Church would benefit. Women have a different perspective on authority, its judicious use, its squandering, its misuse, its abuse, from which the whole Church would benefit. Women have a different view of childrearing, marriage, and family life, from which the whole Church would benefit—and so on. And, again, yes, some of these gifts are already being shared with the Church here in the twenty-first century—with women on now on parish councils, teaching in seminaries, and so on—but this cannot compare to the ways in which women’s gifts would be truly infused into the life of the Church if women were ordained to the diaconate, and thus had the sacramental blessing of this ministry. As I understand it, the recognition of both the need for woman-to-woman ministry and the ways in which women’s gifts benefit the entire Church prompted the Patriarch of Alexandria to reinstitute the order of deaconesses in Africa last year.
I truly believe that the reinstitution of the ordained female diaconate in the other autocephalous Orthodox churches would do the opposite of undermining the differences between women and men; that it would instead allow the gifts of women to more fully be given to the Church and the world; that these gifts would be honored, celebrated, and realized in new, wonderful, and unanticipated ways; and that the female diaconate would prompt an effloresce of healing, well-being, flourishing, and hope in the life of my beloved Orthodox Church today.

B&M Waste Staff Take On Snowdon by Night!
Last weekend saw a group of brave B&M staff climb Mount Snowdon – the highest mountain in England and Wales – overnight in order to raise critical funds for two of the business’ nominated charities, Claire House Children’s Hospice and The Frost Foundation.
The team has raised an incredible amount – over £4000 – for the two charities.
Made up of staff from two of the national company’s depots, Wirral and Manchester, the team began the challenging task of climbing 1085 metres above sea level at 8pm, being rewarded for their efforts with a breath-taking sunset just before reaching the summit at 11.30pm.
Claire House Children’s Hospice in Merseyside helps seriously and terminally ill children live life to the full by creating wonderful experiences and bringing back a sense of normality to family life. The Frost Foundation in Manchester helps local children who are disadvantaged by illness, circumstance or lack of funding. | 2019-04-18T16:24:39 | http://www.liverpoolchamber.org.uk/article.aspx/show/29678 |

And warrior Luke, the Marine who never expected to return.
Marine Luke Fletcher is determined to do his duty—first to his country and now to his ten-year-old daughter, the unexpected legacy of a high school girlfriend. But his homecoming to Dare Island in North Carolina's Outer Banks challenges his plans for the future and forces him to face everything that's missing in his life. He wasn't prepared to lose his heart to this child he never knew. Or to fall hard for coolly reserved small town lawyer Kate Dolan.
Former military brat Kate knows Marines can make lousy fathers...and she's got the scars to prove it. Giving her heart to a man who's bent on leaving seems one sure way to have it broken.
Now, no matter what it takes, Luke must prove to Kate and to his daughter that Semper Fi is more than a motto—and to himself that there’s more than one way to be a hero.

Your Solution is for What Problem, Exactly?
Preventive maintenance enables you to address potential troubles before they become reality.
A solution in search of a problem usually isn’t a good idea. But there are exceptions.
For example, consider a smoke detector in your home. It isn’t there because you have fires all the time and would like to know about them. You probably will never have a fire, but if you do, that smoke detector may save your life.
Electrical test equipment is another exception, but in a way that differs from the smoke detector example.
Consider the insulation resistance tester. Why do you buy these? It’s not because you have cable failures (a problem) and want to verify that after the fact. It’s because you want to be able to replace deteriorating cables before they become failed cables. You want to solve the problem before it exists.
If you have a cable testing program that trends results, you can identify cables that are heading down the road to failure. This is a form of predictive maintenance. You predict the failure, then intervene to prevent it.
It’s much more cost-effective to schedule time to replace cables than to deal with a large failure — especially ones that occur at the worst possible time (as they typically do).
But how do you justify the expense of several insulation resistance testers, training, scheduled shutdown for testing, and the time for analyzing and trending the results? If the cost is X, can you tie X directly to a unit of revenue? You haven’t yet identified potential cable failures to know which cables will probably fail and (consequently) stop which areas of production, so the answer is no.
In most facilities, there’s a fixed budget for maintenance, and there’s often pressure to reduce that budget. Skimping on test equipment is one way to stay within the budget, but ultimately that approach makes the maintenance organization less able to protect the revenue stream that keeps your facility open. You need to get the equipment.
You might put in a capital request for additional funds beyond to buy new test equipment, but because you can’t tie the investment directly to revenue, how do you convince the bean counters it’s in the company’s best interests to obtain that equipment?
In other words, what problem is this solution searching out? And how much does it cost?
You won’t see the problem without the test equipment, so how can you answer these questions?
Let’s reframe that. You won’t see the specific problems at your facility without this test equipment, which means you won’t be able to discover the costs that are lurking in your facility’s physical assets. But you can find examples of specific problems at other facilities, and relate those to potential problems and costs in your facility.
One way to do this is to hire a qualified testing firm to conduct the tests you would conduct if only you had that equipment. But how do you get approval to hire this firm? They have other clients, and they have photos. They also have hard data. They have what it takes to make the case to do in your facility what they’ve done in other facilities.
If you really want to shock the socks off those bean counters, use the images from a thermographic survey of a problem facility. You can show what the testing firm found at a similar plant, and also show (non-infrared) photo after photo of your own panels with thousands of connections and components. Each of these has the potential to go bad, and some might already be on the verge of failing.
By showing “comparables” visually, you move the discussion from being abstract to being about the physical assets in your facility. This is our switchgear that supplies power to these production lines that provide $325,000 an hour of revenue. How many of those hours do you want to give up by not making this investment?
The discussion is also about specific problems. For example, you want insulation resistance testing so you can stop cable failures from ever happening. You can’t tie your specific cables to any specific revenue just yet, but you can certainly tie someone else’s failed cables to photos of the catastrophic consequences at their facility; ask the testing firm.
Another example: You want thermographic surveys and analysis so you can identify and repair energy-losing, heat-producing, maybe even arc blast-risking bad connections. But what else can thermography identify for you? Make that list (it’s long and it can go way past electrical connections), and put it in your capital request.
Once the testing firm has the (possibly depressing) test results for you, it should be easy to justify having it come back for the next shutdown. This also should open the door to purchasing your own equipment for conducting ongoing maintenance between shutdowns and maybe even hiring extra people. This way, you can keep those problems solved before they ever happen. | 2019-04-18T15:52:44 | https://www.ecmweb.com/electrical-testing/your-solution-what-problem-exactly |

With only three races left in the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series season, Auto Club Speedway teamed up with their sponsored driver Penske Racing’s Helio Castroneves. The last race of the season is a double-points paying event that is scheduled to run for 500 miles at Auto Club Speedway in just 21 days on Saturday, August 30.
It turns out that with only three races left in the 2014 season – Milwaukee, Sonoma, and Auto Club Speedway – roughly 11 drivers are within mathematical striking distance of capturing the Verizon IndyCar Series World Championship Trophy, the Astor Cup. Helio felt that a driver would need a 75 point lead to feel safe … that would be 75 points ahead after the next two races of the 1 mile bullring at Milwaukee and the 2.52-mile road course at Sears Point near Sonoma.
The next two home games for the L.A. Galaxy feature the first Friday Night Fireworks & Lights Show, presented by Best Foods tonight with L.A. Galaxy meeting the San Jose Earthquakes – 8/8 7:30PM PDT and Back to School Night where the first 15K fans will receive a tin lunch box courtesy of The Flame Broiler with L.A.

Best of Both Worlds - A successful up and running franchise has all the advantages - Legacy Venture Group, Inc.
One of the best ways to become your own boss successfully is by acquiring an existing franchise.
of the franchise, such as great systems, marketing support and brand recognition. It also has all the great properties of an existing business such as existing customers, establish market share, and current cash flow. Owners of existing franchises tend to have a high success rate because of the immediate acquisition of cash flow and customers and because of the training and ongoing support.
If you are embarking on your first business ownership venture or if you are entering an industry that is new to you, look at an existing franchise to acquire.
You will still need to do your own due diligence. Not all existing franchises are as they appear to be. Just because it is a franchise or just because you know the place or just because the brand is well known does not mean it is successful. Plenty of franchisees have come to us over the past decade frustrated because their company still was not making money – even after several years of hard work Remember how popular brands like Curves and Quiznos once were.
Be diligent and take time to check out both the specific location you are looking to acquire and the franchise company itself. Visiting websites like BuyBizUSA.com, BlueMauMau.com and Franchise.org will give you more perspective about the franchisor. Ask questions of the current owner, other franchisees and the corporate office. Request a Seller Disclosure Document and look at the tax returns that have been actually filed with the IRS, not just a copy they have on hand.
If you are thinking about acquiring an existing franchise but want support on understanding the business, seek out business acquisition support programs like Legacy Venture Group’s Legacy Guardian Advantage, which looks at market value, funding, contingencies, and more. And remember to reach out to a good business attorney and business accountant for all your financial needs.
Here is one great example. As of the time of this posting, Legacy Venture Group and BuyBizUSA.com proudly represent an existing Mobile Pet Grooming Company. Current owner works from home while the fleet of groomers works with customers and their pets at the customer’s homes. Owner is ready to join spouse in a well earned retirement and seek someone who is passionate about customer service, business development and leadership in the industry.

A reform plan of state-owned Bank of Communications (3328.HKG, 601328.SHA) that introduces the possibility of introducing private shareholders and an employee stock ownership plan has been approved by China’s State Council, The Financial Times reported, citing a filing by the company. However, the plan does not include any measures to fundamentally alter the bank’s structure through large-scale privatization, meaning the Chinese government will remain its controlling shareholder. The bank will also explore incentives for employees through stock options, potentially allowing it to raise senior executives’ pay to counteract large salary cuts made on orders from the central government. | 2019-04-26T16:55:05 | https://chinaeconomicreview.com/bank-communications-reform-plan-explores-limited-privatization/ |
Birmingham Industrial Consultant Paul Heard flew the flag for Pertemps on BBC Breakfast recently as he was interviewed by presenter Mike Bushell all about his passion, cycle speedway.
Paul, who is not only a Pertemps Consultant but also the Cycle Speedway Great British Captain, was invited along to Coventry to take part in a training session for young and experienced riders.
Mike Bushell, famously known for trying as many new sports as possible on the early morning Saturday show, tried his hand at the fast-paced sport and chatted to members of the Coventry Club, as well as to our very own Paul donning the full Pertemps branded kit.
So, what exactly is cycle speedway? The sport took off in UK bomb cities amongst the rubble after WW2. Children began riding their bikes around debris and started to race each other for fun. As cities were rebuilt post-war, tracks disappeared. That’s when purpose built tracks began to appear all around the country.
Throughout the years Paul has taken part in competitions all over the world and climbed the ranks in the sport. In 2015, aged 22, he was made GB’s youngest ever captain after securing the Ashes series victory over Australia. More recently, Paul and the GB team won on Polish soil ahead of the World Championships in November.
Pertemps have supported Paul since he joined Birmingham Industrial in 2011 and wish him the best of luck for his future in the sport. | 2019-04-21T15:06:28 | https://www.pertemps.co.uk/about-us/latest-news/company-news/pertemps-paul-heard-interviewed-by-the-bbc/ |
I've started to play Skyrim and I have definitely felt this game engine before. Bethesda, creators of Fallout 3, an older favorite, reusing it in a new format. Overall, game play is is just as fun and addicting as Fallout was, the content feels larger, the maps are less dreary and there are twists on how things that worked in Fallout have changed in the new iteration but behind the scenes still feels very familiar. Not that familiar is bad in this instance, it stands that the game has it's own story to tell and the adventures are all very unique (much of the charm of the game by the way), but familiarity has offered experience that can be take from a previous title and applied here. For instance, knowing that at times, wrong decisions can lead to closing of story threads or that in order to maximize the number of followers, you should not always accept the first follower you can take on. It worked this way in Fallout and it appears to be the same here. It's got to be handed to Bethesda, they write a mean game and it's unbelievable the content that is offered without feeling repetitive.
On a more negative note, back when I was playing Fallout 3, online multiplayer games were starting to come of age and most that weren't FPS shooters were not highly played, but knowing they existed and seeing how big the game was, it felt that if you had followers in the game, why not be able to invite a friend to help with eachother's quests. The game didn't support it and after all but conquering the game completely after months of gameplay, Borderlands came to fill the void of a multiplayer quest based game. Borderlands has now passed on for newer titles and this being one of the latest additions, I again feel the longing for playing with friends and wonder why in the hell it wasn't added yet. If Borderlands had it why can't Bethesda add a similar feature? After all this time, popularity in online gameplay with friends has exploded and I feel Bethesda has fallen on their asses to take advantage of this. I don't think they will continue to be as popular, even though they make awesome games, if they do not include an online aspect to their next game.
As a side note.... Intro, Fallout MMO..... Who knows when this will ever come out with all the legal battles that just seem to have been settled. Bethesda is now in full control of the Fallout brand and I have yet to hear who they might bring on to continue the development since they have basically fired the last team that started on it. With any hope they don't ruin it either. Part of the greatness of the game engine that is in both Fallout and Skyrim is feeling the vastness of the map and how alone you are as well as how much your fate is in your own hands, adding a limited number to your party doesn't dimish that much as long as you leave the ability to quest alone or with friends, but if Fallout MMO turns into a crowded meat market where every turn you are frustrated by a random noob or a hacked his pants off to get the highest possible unemployed life is nothing but this game looser, I will not be pleased with the product. Perhaps I am hoping for a merger of Fallout 3/Skyrim with Borderlands, but i feel that is the prefect possible end for this next significant step for Bethesda. | 2019-04-24T02:33:40 | http://di-gaming.org/tag/review/ |
Making money with cryptocurrencies will usually involve using different methods and combining efforts. Diversification is critical in this industry, both in terms of the assets being held and the money making strategies alike. The following six currencies offer enticing arbitrage opportunities today, as there is some good money to be made in the process.
It has been a few weeks since the last NEO arbitrage opportunity presented itself, which is rather unusual. Even so, today’s opportunity allows traders to make some good money when buying NEO on KuCoin and selling it on Bitfinex. The current price gap is 1.7%, although this figure will fluctuate throughout the day. Gaps like these usually don’t remain in place for very long, even though NEO has sufficient liquidity across both platforms.
Even though this exact same Monero price gap became apparent yesterday, it is still in place today. More specifically, the price per Monero on Bittrex, Kraken, and Gate is still relatively low compared to some other exchanges. Selling XMR on either Bitfinex or HitBTC can yield a profit ranging from 1.8% to 3.2%, depending on which combination of trading platforms one seeks to pursue.
As has been the case yesterday as well, the price gaps between Bittrex, Gate, Bitfinex, and HitBTC allow for some quick and easy money to be made. In the case of ZCash’s price difference between the platforms buying on Bittrex or Gate and selling on HitBTC will yield a profit of 2.6% on average. Buying on Bittrex and selling it on Bitfinex will result in a 2% profit.
Another day of arbitrage trading comes around, and Tron is in the mindset of the action once again. Despite being incredibly popular, prices for TRX can differ vastly from platform to platform. Today, it seems the TRX price on Binance, KuCoin, and Gate is almost identical, yet that is lower compared to the value on HitBTC. As such, traders can explore this price gap and pocket 2.4% in profits. A very appealing opportunity, especially when considering how more bearish market momentum may be brewing on the horizon.
A few different price gaps have become apparent where Dogecoin is concerned. First of all, traders can buy DOGE on Koineks or Gate and sell it on HitBTC for profits of up to 4%. Another option is to buy Doge on Gate and selling it on Livecoin for a 1.4% gain. Depending on individual platform liquidity, both options are well worth taking into account right now. Dogecoin is also one of the more stable cryptocurrencies today.
For those who want to make some quick money with EOS, a few different market opportunities can be explored. First of all, there is an option to buy EOS on KUCoin and selling it on Bitfinex for a 2.1% profit. Additionally, one can sell this funds on HitBTC for a 3% profit. Buying on either Binance or Gate and selling it on HitBTC can yield similar profits. A few appealing options to keep in mind, as good money awaits those who take some small risks. | 2019-04-23T10:38:55 | https://www.coincryptoz.com/8660/crypto-arbitrage-today-neo-xmr-zec-doge-trx-eos/ |
Holland Pulse Light has developed non-destructive thermal and food preservation techniques. Their technique is based on pulsed UV light, which eliminates issues related to food safety and food preservation. The machine generates an intense UV light flash for a fraction of a second on products which eliminate bacteria and spores. The flash results in the release of an enormous amount of energy (± 1,400 °C), for a fraction of a hundredth of a second, which breaks the skin protein, causing the DNA of the undesired (decay) microorganisms, pathogens, bacteria, yeasts, fungi and /or viruses to be broken down.
These techniques reduce or eliminate the need for chemical disinfectants as well as the addition of preservatives. As a result we extend shelf life and improve the quality of every product. Research has shown that, Listeria and Salmonella bacteria are reduced by 99.85% by the flash light technology. In addition, our technology does more than simply disinfect the food and packaging. Through germicidal operation we can reduce the number of allergens that occur naturally in foods.
Years of development and field testing has resulted in the first 100% compostable substrate for cultivation (seed, sting and tissue cultivated crops) for tray, soil and water cultivation. Their products are unique for their optimized moisture and air balance and are suitable for each cultivation phase. The agro & horticulture markets demands a cultivation base with an optimal air/water balance which can be controlled ensuring a regular growth of the roots across the soil or block. This requires an efficient distribution of air (pores), water and fertilizers which are environmentally sound and therefore requires an excellent control of the added fertilizers, the pH-value and usage of water without spillage.
Holland2O is Electro-chemically activated water. It is a safe and effective alternative to NaCl based processed water. The world’s most advanced ionized water system for growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants and trees, the result is larger and quicker harvests. Stronger plants absorb more minerals from ground, giving plants extra minerals and nutrients to ensuring the best results. | 2019-04-20T00:44:55 | https://www.hollandbiosciences.com/ |

Went up alone to check the film in the camera where we heard the noises and Steve saw the shadow. Overcast down low. Cool. Up high, I had broken clouds, not hot. Went to clear and excellent visibility later in the day.
Coming back down the mountain, I went through a band of big winds at Ripplebrook. There was no wind higher and the wind stopped down by Three Lynx.
Back to the day. The camera operator was jammed on the first strike. Squirrel? Bird? For the third time, the excess actuator wire that I had put around one of the wing nuts had been pulled loose and was hanging down below the camera. Something was doing it.
Heavy pack. Put in dog food, Spam, jack mackerel and scent. Put out fresh on aluminum pans. Took down the feather lure. Put up a cd lure and the LED light. Spread some fresh scent. No tracks in the area. Getting rid of the solids considerably lightened the pack.
These notes are backwards. Before going to the camera site, I walked down to the elk ribs and then down into the green glen and found my wacking club on a stump about 200' from where the camera was. I didn't remember laying it there, or for that matter, even being over there. The club is about 1" plus around and has a nice mellow honey color finish. It's just a piece of hardwood stick that my Dad had shaved the bark off of, finished and given to me for a fish club.
Nice walk. Went into the brush a ways where I heard my growl. Very thick with limbs on the reprod. Found an old road bed, but it was heavily overgrown with alder, as the often are. Spent from 9:20 to 12:07 at the 4651 road area. Felt like I was being watched both on the road and at the sites. Heard some noise from time to time in the more open brush to the east side of the road, moving along as I went along. I had stopped and sat at the camera site for 15 minutes and didn't hear anything then.
Started to go up Granite Peaks road, but decided not to. Turned at the river. Still no one using the nice lower campsite. Turned around and went up Hwy 42 toward Pinhead Buttes and the west side of the Reservation. Accident on the way up. Forest Service Law Officer on scene. No injuries. Looked to me like a speeding SUV forced a guy with a pick-up and small aluminum boat trailer off the road. Too much speeding up in the hills. Very dangerous driving.
Went for a nice walk up high. Sort of between South and West Pinhead Buttes. Open. Old burn. Slow going. Gained lots of altitude. Went up spur road. Probably sat on a log inside the Reservation. Line where logging stopped and across a gravel road, virgin high Cascade forest. Very different from the firs down low. Walked about 2 miles in an hour.
Had the truck organized for once. Pleasant drive back. Slight sunburn. Loved the pack. | 2019-04-24T00:54:29 | http://bfjournal.tripod.com/pages/990716.html |

The AT4081 is the less-expensive of of a pair of new phantom-powered ribbon microphones from Audio-Technica.
Introduced in 2009, the AT4080 and AT4081 feature several new ribbon-motor developments. Audio-Technica claims to have 18 patents pending for these new mics.
The motor is a dual-ribbon design. The use of two ribbons can increase the sensitivity of the transducer, as they are wired in series. The two ribbons are mounted front-to-back, with one slightly in front of the magnetic pole and one slightly behind it.
As in all modern ribbon mics, the magnets are Neodymium.
This patent application’s claim appears to be limited to the idea that by corrugating the ends of the ribbon such that the lines are parallel to its length, the ribbon is stiffer and therefore easier to install, and further that the clamping mechanism can form a tighter electrical connection to a surface with “a plurality of stripe-like irregularities,” reducing resistance.
The application also mentions the use of a slightly-U-shaped ribbon clamp, which when tightened flattens out to better grip the end of the ribbon.
The ribbon is connected to a transformer, which in turn feeds an amplifier circuit fed by +48V phantom power. The amp’s self-noise rating, 25dBA, is fully 3dB noisier than the AT4080. It is the noisiest active ribbon mic we’ve seen.
The output circuit is transformerless.
The AT4081’s frequency response is flatter in both the lows and highs than is the AT4080. -3dB points are 40hZ and ~16kHz.
The AT4081 ships with an “isolation clamp” (aka mic clip), a soft pouch, and a padded storage case.
How do the AT4080 and AT4081 differ?
The AT4081 list price is $400 lower.
The AT4081 has a smaller transformer, and 3dB higher self-noise than the AT4080.
The case and headbasket design are different; the AT4081 is physically smaller, making it easier to position for instrumental applications.
The low-frequency response of the AT4081 rolls off below 60Hz, whereas the AT4080 has a low-frequency boost suitable for vocal applications.
The AT4081 won a Reader’s Choice award from ProSoundWeb in 2010.
Prior to this, I had never gotten good results using ribbon mics as [drum] overheads. [Yet] the extended high end, accurate midrange, and lack of muddiness of the 4081 is just perfect for drum recording. | 2019-04-26T10:23:11 | http://recordinghacks.com/microphones/Audio-Technica/AT4081 |

industry experience of teaching staff.
Graduates are highly valued by German industry. In fact, approximately 70% of the professional engineers employed in the high-tech region of Baden-Württemberg are graduates of a "Fachhochschule".
At present, a wide variety of degree programs is offered, primarily in engineering fields. In 2017, the University enrolled approximately 8,200 students, taught by more than 150 full-time faculty and 300 part-time faculty. Their work is supported by some 200 technical and administrative staff.
In addition to its commitment to excellence in teaching, the University has a sound research record, its four research institutes and eight technology transfer centers being an important partner for industry. As the business environment has moved toward extensive internationalization, the University has sought to reflect this in its own programs. Co-operation with partner institutions has seen the establishment of international degrees which allow students to obtain dual academic qualifications. Unique certificate programs in major languages are offered by the Foreign Language Institute. Changes in workplace skills and the move towards life-long learning have also led the University to become active in the area of continuing education. The University has also moved to offer bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, some taught in English, so allowing a wider spectrum of students to participate in our programs. | 2019-04-23T03:22:13 | https://www.innovations-report.com/html/profiles/profile-242.html |
Two new members joined CalCharge, California’s energy storage initiative. They are Southern California Edison and the University of California, San Diego. Members get access to researchers and labs at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Some other prominent members are Toyota and Bosch, and CalCharge now has 27 members total. Over 130 California companies are working to advance battery technology.
“Together we can seek a future where energy use is cleaner and more reliable, our customer choice is plentiful, and our customer lives will be better,” says Stuart Hemphill, an executive at Southern California Edison. Southern California Edison supplies electricity to about 14 million people in Southern California.
UCSD has its own microgrid, which it uses to manage and distribute electricity generated by burning natural gas, and it has 2.3 MW of solar power. Over 90% of the campus electricity is generated by the microgrid — the remainder comes from the local utility. The university in La Jolla wants to become carbon-neutral by 2025. It’s an obvious enough point, but having a microgrid at a university and a large solar array is a great way to expose students to clean technology.
One fascinating prospect is using vehicle batteries to make stationary energy storage devices. This technology has recently been used in Germany, but innovation can cross international boundaries. Worldwide, there is clearly a strong incentive to build energy storage rapidly, in order to catch up with the surge in renewable energy installations. | 2019-04-22T04:42:18 | https://cleantechnica.com/2015/11/06/california-energy-storage-initiative-expands/ |
I have about a week of total abstinence from sports.
Some are laughing. Think this is funny, like passing out on alcohol or drugs on a Friday night.
I thought a lot of things were funny, that turned out to be life-threatening. Lost friends to alcoholism and drug addiction.
It’s hard to find the words for wasted time. Time and energy spent trying to “beat” others, “defeat” others, and deceive others.
In most sports, Deception is a key element. A key thing learned and taught to gain advantage over other people, other teams or players.
Volleyballs flying, tennis court visions, making plays—all irrelevant to my current life, and unwanted.
I have a bad shoulder, knee from sports playing.
While my family of origin are addicts like me, my wife used to feel left out and puzzled by my sports obsession.
I hope my unwanted sports visions will go away over time.
I think of the John Nash story, and of his walking away from unwanted visions and hallucinations, one day at a time.
I declare total abstinence from Sports today.
Join me, call me and reach out. Let’s walk away from the violence of sports to help others find blankets and a home tonight. | 2019-04-20T16:59:35 | https://travelingpoet.net/tag/sports/ |

Nike has a long history in running. Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman formed the company in January 1964. Knight was running track at the University of Oregon and founded Nike with his head coach, Bowerman. Nike was originally created as Blue Ribbon Sports and was a distributor for Onitsuka Tiger. One of their first designs after splitting up with the Japanese shoemaker was modeled after Bowerman’s waffle concept. The experimentation with a waffle iron and liquid urethane would result in the Waffle Trainer in 1974. The shoe gets its name from the waffle sole and the way it was conceptualized. Bowerman developed this idea when the Hayward Field at the University of Oregon was resurfaced.
In 1987, Nike Running division introduced their Air Max line. Found inside the Air Max collection is visible air cushioning units at the heel of most styles. Nike w began with the Air Max ’87 or better known as the Air Max 1. Nike continued with this idea of an air-cushioning unit and released the Air Max III (Air Max 90), Air Max IV (Air Max BW), Air 180 and Air Max 95. Nike took their classic Air Max design in a new direction when they created a sneaker featuring an air unit throughout the midsole. The Air Max 360 was launched with a bang when it appeared in the One Time Only Package and consisted of classic Air Max models like the Neon Air Max 95 and Infrared Air Max 90 with a 360 sole. The One Time Only Packaged was released on September 30th, 2006 at select Nike retailers. | 2019-04-22T08:58:25 | https://www.sneakerfiles.com/nike/nike-running/ |
Today is the first day I broke out my Fitbit One and put it on. Technically I got it out yesterday, charged it and slept with it on to track my sleep. I plan to wear it all the way through April to see if it helps me stay motivated to move more. I've been so sedentary since I got sick over a month ago and I want to push myself to move more! I already took one of my dogs out for a long walk this morning with a friend, and I'm going to take another walk later.
I'm also using low carb protein shakes as breakfast for a bit while I come off the sugar. I really ate too much candy last week and it's given me headaches to get back off it. I am fine with a small piece here and there, but when I eat it more often I just don't feel right. And it saps my energy, too.
I bought a Keurig "Brew Over Ice" Tumbler that I just LOVE. You take the little drip platform away from the front of the Keurig, fill this tumbler with ice and put it underneath, and brew your favorite coffee (set at 6 or 8 oz) right into the tumbler! It's leak proof and keeps the coffee cold, so my new beverage of choice for this spring and summer is lots of iced (decaf) coffee. I use flavored k-cups and don't need any sugar. I'm also back into making Sun Tea in a gallon jar on my back deck; I use a mix of regular and herbal teas or green tea and drink it over ice all day (no sugar needed!) So much tastier and healthier than diet sodas or Crystal Light, and it helps me stay hydrated.
I have family coming to stay for 3 or 4 days next week and I'm so excited. My sister-in-law has some dietary restrictions, so I'm planning a menu of food she can eat and the kids will all enjoy. I'm now avoiding pasta, rice, and breads (not totally eliminating these things, but making other choices most of the time) and will always have 2 or 3 kinds of produce served with dinner.
I think these small changes should help reverse the upward scale trend of the past month. Hope you are enjoying the spring weather! Yard work is going to be my main exercise in April. My goal is to lose 5 pounds in April; this is the first time I have made a weight loss goal in months! I think my mindset is strong now, and free of diet and food obsession, so setting this goal is my way of giving myself a reason to make adjustments as needed to see it happen. I'm ready!
You are ready! I can feel your energy coming through. You will lose at least 5 pounds in April, I am sure.
You are inspiring me here! I'm so glad you're in a good place! I want to lose 5 pounds in April, too!
Sometimes you just have to set a goal to get yourself moving in the right direction. You have so many things going right right now....you have a much improved relationship with food, you recognize that too much high carb food leads to weight gain, and you are ready to step up the exercise....that it seems that you can only be successful. Good luck!
Thanks all! I feel good. I've been walking but this will help me SEE how much walking I am doing, and step it up (literally) on days I fall short. It is almost 6pm and so far I have 6585 steps. I will use my final count as a sort of baseline and try not to go below it. I am thinking I will try to get more steps per day/average every week.
Good for you!!! :-) You got this. | 2019-04-23T22:09:41 | http://www.escapefromobesity.net/2016/03/doing-it.html |

I've been wanting to do a shoot in the water for quite sometime, and today is the day! I planned the shoot with Gwen and Dustin a long time ago, but we kept postponing it. We finally got everything in order and did the shoot. These two are some of my favorite people in the world. I got to shoot their engagement, wedding, family photos, and now these just for fun shots. The abandoned building was in Egg Harbor City. The river is close to my home near Weymouth, NJ. I hope you enjoy these portraits as much as I do!

Norge's Bank delivered another hawkish statement today, with an upgraded forecast and a clear indication that rates are likely to rise in the third quarter this year. GDP growth is seen stronger, the output gap lower, and headline inflation higher.
The path for an earlier rate hike in Norway is paved by a robust outlook for the oil sector and an improving global economy with rising rates in key trading partners.
The new interest rate forecast indicates a September rate hike is likely, with some chances of a move in August. The statement says "the key policy rate will most likely be raised after summer 2018", and summers are pretty short in Scandinavia. Nonetheless, we see a September rate hike as the base case now, as August looks slightly ambitious.
Further out, the policy rate path indicated in this forecast remains gradually upwards sloping, with roughly two interest rate hikes each year in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Nonetheless, the Norwegian central bank looks increasingly hawkish in comparison to its more cautious colleagues in Europe, namely the ECB, SNB, and Riksbank all have some degree of dovish bias.
Should the positive surprises continue for the Norwegian economy, we don't rule out more tightening.

Therapeutic boarding schools for girls from or in Forest Grove, Oregon. Help for adoption troubles, self-harm, eating disorders call: 406-847-5850 – affordable boarding schools and boarding schools with therapy.
Are You Seeking Therapeutic Boarding Schools in Forest Grove, OR for a Girl Misbehaving or Causing Self-Harm Due to Emotional Distress from Feelings of Abandonment (Adoption Issues) or a Major Loss or Trauma in Her Life?
If you have a teenage girl in your home displaying misbehavior or is making destructive choices, Clearview Horizon may be a good place to start as you research therapeutic boarding schools in Forest Grove, OR.
While not in Forest Grove, Oregon, Clearview Horizon works with girls from your town in a beautiful facility in the mountains nearby the year-round resort town of Sandpoint, Idaho. Our facility is intentionally located in a remote area because an important part of therapy is for the girl to be far away from influences, issues and similar surroundings so that she can put those out of her mind. It also discourages teens in our care from thinking about connecting with friends and leaving our campus.
Teens who are having emotional and behavioral problems tend to be failing in school. Our school is intentionally computer-based, assisted by a certified teacher, so that girls are able to get caught up and even get ahead in their schooling while they are at Clearview. We also provide tutoring if needed, and regular academic progress updates are delivered to parents.
Clearview emphasizes a balanced diet along with physical activities, restful sleep and fun times; all designed to teach a healthy lifestyle. Girls participate in many outdoor and recreational events during the year, as well as organized team sports. Girls in our care are also taken on periodic overnight treks in the beautiful and rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest. For spiritual support, girls are given encouragement and instruction by our Christian staff and can attend chapel services, but we also honor other faiths and will not force Christianity on any girl or require them to participate in Christian services or studies.
Parents send their girls to our therapeutic boarding school from across the nation, including from Forest Grove, Oregon. We are proud of what our staff accomplishes with these girls, and our hope is that we have the opportunity to also help your girl.
Take a minute to browse through our website to learn more about our therapeutic boarding school for girls, even though we are not located in Forest Grove, OR. Also, read some of our many success stories and feel free to ask us for references you can call.
Please Inquire for More Information and the Tuition Rates for the Clearview Horizon Therapeutic Boarding School for Girls, though we are located in the Pacific Northwest, not in Forest Grove, OR.

If you are searching for residential treatment centers for girls, troubled youth homes, troubled teen schools or troubled teen boarding schools, you have found one. Homes for troubled teens and boarding schools for teens don’t typically offer teen counseling and therapy, but we do. | 2019-04-23T22:21:27 | https://www.clearviewhorizon.com/therapeutic-boarding-schools-for-girls-in-forest-grove-oregon/ |
Another week done at the coalface of capitalism. True public servants, we heroes of the productive economy deserve a well-earned rest.
We’re reminded that prior to the EU Referendum, Remainers assured us, many times, that the EU is “just a trading club”. We were told that it hardly interferes in anything, really. What’s the fuss about?
There is a better way. Each country should decide for itself what its clocks should say.
The murder investigation continues, the sentence relates only to the refusal of the suspect to divulge his Facebook password. Yes, the prosecution for that is outrageous. Americans might be thinking about the 5th Amendment here, and the right to not incriminate oneself. The Fifth derives ultimately from the English common law. It was enshrined in Law in 1641 and included into the (English) Bill of Rights of 1689. From there it found its way into the Virginia Bill of Rights and then the US Constitution.
That we have a murder suspect is of no significance. Such protections exist to protect us all. It’s typical of the modern so-called “liberal” politician to so casually chip away at them. In fact Blair was a radical authoritarian. RIPA, his government’s creation, is a typically nasty Blairite statute.
If the police wish to see that Facebook account then I have no problem with them taking a court warrant to Facebook. I don’t believe that Facebook cannot get into it. Incarcerating people for what is nothing more than maintaining their age-old right to silence is not acceptable.
When a respected commentator, Guardian columnist and BBC regular like Yasmin Alibhai-Brown gets nervous about the rise of the right, we should all be worried. Oh yes, this is “scary”.
In other news, Diane Abbott is reported to be worried that her position as “dumbest woman on the planet” is about to be usurped.
Moderate Dutch patriot Geert Wilders was going to host a cartoon contest. Of course some pius muslims didn’t like that. Showing all the tolerance for which they’re famed, there were protests and death threats. So now it’s cancelled.
The situation is quite clear: any muslim who cannot tolerate free speech must leave the West. Their views are not compatible with civilised life. They simply must go.
I shudder to think what Marxist drivel and eco-voodoo children are being subjected to, so the news that there’s a “severe” shortage of teachers is cheering.
Of course it takes government to stuff up on such an epic scale. Ever since 1997, when Blair came up with the idea to indoctrinate young adults with left wing propaganda, it’s been government policy to get up to half of school leavers into university. The Tories are so dumb they’ve never noticed what the true purpose of the policy is.
And 21 years of this policy has left a shortage of maths and science teachers, but thousands of burger-flippers who can tell you all about intersectional feminism.
Academics have made off like billy-o. Everyone else ha been swindled.

Veteran Labour MP Frank Field has quit the party’s group in Parliament, saying the leadership has become “a force for anti-Semitism in British politics”.
Frank Field is one of very few decent MPs, respected both in Westminster and in the country. He’s been an MP since 1979, so he’s Labour to the core. Even so, he couldn’t take the antisemitism and abuse from Corbynites any longer.
His letter is a devastating critique of the Labour Party, which is now a hate group. If it was regarded a right wing group the Shadow Cabinet would be under arrest by now. | 2019-04-21T20:39:09 | http://www.atangledweb.org/?m=201808 |
Jason Bateman and other cast members of Arrested Development have been criticised online for minimising the upset caused to fellow star Jessica Walter during a New York Times interview this week.Fans of the American TV series love its wacky, dysfunctional Bluth family, but after real-life tensions among the cast emerged, social media has reacted strongly.Bateman is being heavily criticised after he, Will Arnett and David Cross appeared to play down claims of harassment made by Walter.They suggested instead such behaviour was a normal part of life on set.Bateman apologised on Twitter on Thursday. The hashtag #ArrestedDevelopment has been used almost 20,000 times in reaction to the piece, which was published on Wednesday in advance of the release of a new series of the cult show on 29 May. Walter, who plays matriarch Lucille Bluth, described to the New York Times through tears an incident in which co-star Jeffrey Tambor verbally harassed her, claiming nobody had ever treated her like that on set.
Much of the criticism centres on interactions between Walter and Bateman. As Walter described the incident, Bateman told her that harassment happens all the time and appeared to excuse Tambor's behaviour. Fans accused him of "mansplaining" the film industry to Walter, a veteran actress who won the Golden Globe for best new actress in 1967 when Bateman was two years old.
Editor Tasha Robinson wrote that several male cast members tried to "manage" Walter as she explained how upset she had been.
Some fans said the interview lifts a lid once more on a culture of sexism in Hollywood, giving a stark reminder that the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements did not solve issues of gender inequality. "I'm glad people get to see, at least once in a while, what it's really like for women in Hollywood. 99% of your fave dudes are problematic," tweeted film director Lexi Alexander, who has spoken publicly about lack of opportunities for female directors. | 2019-04-22T16:01:38 | http://vectornews.eu/news/83096-arrested-development-stars-slammed-for-downplaying-harassment.html |

White Chocolate is a light, neutral, wood tone laminate with a rich ivory base that mimics the color of cocoa butter. Light brown and beige veining, like swirls from a bit of cocoa bean, create a realistic wood grain effect which is further enhanced by the embossed finish. Deliciously decadent, White Chocolate has been compared by some to a morsel of heaven wrapped in unicorn dreams. Whether you are a fan of the desert or simply like the neutral, goes with everything color, White Chocolate might be the perfect indulgence for your home or closet. | 2019-04-22T22:07:09 | https://www.closetworks.com/sample_white-chocolate-TFL.shtml |
This week on BrandJack, Jack discusses employer branding, an ever-growing brand agenda which is becoming a key component for defining true business success.
Employer Branding is all about how an organisation develops a perception of itself internally and externally. It’s important to maintain an outstanding work team, as well as attracting outstanding new employee candidates to your business.
A good employer brand attracts people externally through the brand’s face and outward perception, but it also maintains and inspires its team through a strong internal ‘culture of integrity’.
At the end of the day, employer brands succeed because they offer their people more than just credentials on a CV – what does your brand have to give to those who work for you today and for those who may want to work with you tomorrow? | 2019-04-18T10:45:50 | https://jackperlinski.com/employer-branding/ |
So yes, this impending move to basically a swamp by a desert is going to mean some changes in the wardrobe. Apparently the business dress is very formal, so I will have to get used to wearing a suit and tie again. I used to do this as a matter of course, but hanging around with Construction Engineers, and cycling to work, meant that my sartorial standards have slipped. I’m looking forward to getting suited up for the office once more. Maybe some new desert boots too. New suit hunt documentation to come.
I’m definitely going to need new shades (and yes, I will call them shades). I just got a new prescription for my eyes, and I will be getting new glasses before we go, so I’ll get some good shades as well. Some good ones, not the acceptable-but-not-really-very-good cheapo online ones.
But what style? So many options. So many pitfalls.
Having had opinions for most of my life, and after some research, here’s a bit of a pinboard of styles I like. Feel free to comment sotto voce.
Not all of these are possible or desirable, of course, but I wanted to clarify a few points. Wraparounds are out (even though seeing Rik wear them in ‘Bomb‘ made me want to), Ray Ban Wayfarers are out (overkill), the Steve McQueen Persol look is a bit “Esquire”. But in the end, I have to go with what I think looks good. I’ll be sure to post what I get. I would also welcome comments from you.
I must say I’m keen on the clear frames look. What do you think?
Anyway, from TV star Eddie Monsoon, the fantastic and controversial ‘Back to Normal with Eddie Monsoon’ from 1983. Good shades.

My good friend Dr James Kneale gets around. He likes avoiding getting muddy at traditional British muso events like Glastonbury when it was still a little bit cool.
But what you may not know is that he always knew where the party was.
Yes, even in the face of mid-period Thatcherite police brutality, he was there at the Battle of the Beanfield. Here we see him drawing the attention of a 80’s-mustachioed war cop.
It’s not all fun fun fun though. James is more about getting messy in the literal sense, rather than the music journalism figurative sense. He was there when corporate greed and laziness (for example painting the the doomed molasses tank brown to hide the leaks) killed 21 people and injured 150 in the Boston Molasses Disaster of 1919.
But for chest-deep mud and human suffering, you can’t beat the trenches of the First World War, the War that should have ended all Wars, but in fact was just one caused by previous, and leading to more.
Not really sure what the point of this post is/was. James posted the picture of him at “Glasto”, and I just thought it would be fun to paste him into other muddy/messy scenes. This was a while back.
But then with it being the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, and many British friends posting pictures of great-grandads and so on, it might seem a bit disrespectful. That’s not the intention. Just a silly idea, based on a whim.
Anyway, the joke is that the joke is still being told, and despite it not being funny, humans can’t help keep telling it, in the hope that this time it’ll elicit a laugh.

Cassie and I. And Gordon later on.
Moving from the Bay Area to another country.
Probably mid-to-late September 2014. We’re moving out of our apartment first, into the glory that is the Hyatt House, Emeryville.
United Arab Emirates. My office will be in Abu Dhabi, but we are considering living in Dubai.
Why? Why are we moving 8127.11 mi (13079.32 km) from Oakland, CA, USA to a city built on desert wetlands in the Middle East? Via the North Pole, apparently?
I am going with my company, Parsons Corp, to join a new Design Center in the Abu Dhabi office working on various projects, including the new Red Line of the Dubai Metro, and a new passenger heavy rail line for Etihad Rail.
“Indefinitely”. That is to say, not for a fixed term contract, but to be a part of the design group over there. That said, who knows. Realistically, we may decide that we can’t take the 110°F / 43°C heat and 80% humidity for too long.
We’ll be in the UK for Christmas (even though the depths of winter is when it’s the nicest). I hope to see as many people as I can.
What Do You Want To Do Before You Leave?
See as many people as I can. Cassie has the restaurant list. I’m planning a trip to the Computer History Museum. Perhaps an aquarium or two. But it’s hard to cram in fun things when there’s so much to do at home and at work.
Suggestions for things to do please! Come on, Bay Area folks!
It’s a big move. It’s a long story. Lots going on. Lots to do. More soon.

Year 3 have had a wonderful afternoon completing a carousel of activities about staying safe online. Our activities included sorting statements into fact and opinion so that we are able to spot fake news online. We also completed a quiz to understand what information is safe to share online. Another activity involved writing rules and top tips for keeping safe online and sorting true and false facts about internet usage. Finally, we read a story about Buddy the Dog and how we could stay safe when using tablets. Buddy taught us a song. Why not ask the children to sing it to you at home? | 2019-04-26T08:12:16 | https://www.oldfield.cheshire.sch.uk/work/safer-internet-day-2019/44379 |

In a move that should be seen as a slap in the face to law enforcement officers, everywhere, the students of Goddard College in Vermont have selected convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal to deliver the school’s Fall commencement address.
Abu-Jamal, who was removed from death row in 2011, has been serving out a life sentence at the Mahanoy State Correctional Institution in Frackville, Pa. In 1996, he received a bachelor’s degree from the Plainfield, Vt. liberal arts school.
Abu-Jamal will will record a video of his remarks in prison to be played at the commencement ceremony.
He has long maintained his innocence, but the evidence against him is overwhelming.
It would be one thing of Abu-Jamal had confessed his crime, apologized and tried to make amends.
The first step toward forgiveness and redemption is admission of guilt. But cop killer Abu-Jamal has done none of that. Instead he’s played the race card and the victim card and manipulated a lot of gullible liberals – including these students at Goddard – to lionize him. | 2019-04-20T10:45:58 | https://www.breitbart.com/blog/2014/09/30/cop-killer-mumia-abu-jamal-chosen-to-deliver-commencement-address-at-goddard-college/ |
The House and Senate have each passed 2019–21 operating budgets. The House- passed budget would appropriate $52.934 billion from funds subject to the outlook and another $389.6 million from a new workforce education investment account (WEIA). The Senate-passed budget would appropriate $52.181 billion from funds subject to the outlook ($1.143 billion less than the House, including the WEIA spending). Most of the difference between the two comes from new policy choices.
This brief provides side-by-side detail. An extended narrative discussion will follow. Click through to see the policy differences in the spending plan. We want to call out this excerpt from the Council’s comparison of the revenue proposals.
Of particular note: While the two chambers have voted on their respective spending plans, the tax bills are, as shown above, “not passed.” The higher spending level adopted by the House depends heavily on new taxes.
The next couple of weeks will be telling. We again restate our concern about the sustainability of significant spending increases, particularly when those expanded policy commitments rely on new and volatile revenue streams, like the capital gains tax. | 2019-04-24T07:01:40 | https://opportunitywa.org/washington-research-council-publishes-new-side-by-side-comparison-of-state-budgets-passed-by-house-and-senate/ |
It’s pretty common to read that the main thing separating humans and other animals is language. Many people acknowledge that many animals communicate, but argue that the communicative ability of normal humans is so much greater that it amounts to something wholly different than the basic communication we have been able to identify in other animals.
I tend to agree with this argument, but expect that there is more going on when other animals communicate with each other than we have yet discovered. I also don’t see how a greater communicative ability translates into higher moral standing, which is one of the implications that some make when pointing to other animals’ communication abilities.
But all our hyper-communication abilities aside, I’m struck by the irony in the claims about our communication ability and our society-wide effort to experience life in the absence of language.
This effort is a common and often central goal of religious/spiritual traditions around the world. It’s particularly ironic that Buddhists frequently refer to our inner chatter as monkey mind. Even though many people argue that monkeys can’t experience this inner stream of “verbalized” thought because they don’t possess language.
The interesting thing to me is the fact that the mental state achieve by stilling one’s inner chatter is perceived by many of those who have attained it as the highest mental state; some say it allows one to experience or even merge with the Cosmic Consciousness or God directly. Names for this state vary, but they include being "filled with the Spirit of the Lord", samadhi, satori, nirvana, enlightenment, kemal, etc. Yet animals, who apparently are in this state naturally are claimed not to have the same moral standing as the yogis, priests, nuns, sadhus, sages, saints, lamas, mystics, and everyone else striving to silence their monkey mind and experience things the way most other animals apparently do all the time. | 2019-04-23T02:05:00 | http://primateresearch.blogspot.com/2012/12/be-here-now.html |

I recently picked up the pencil again in an effort to get back to my drawing (well, more like doodling) roots...it's a shame I let my hand get so rusty. These lovely fashion illustrations from artist Leigh Viner caught my eye for plenty of reasons - interesting compositions, awesome mixture of mediums, excellent technique to name a few! - and are definitely getting filed in my inspiration folder. What's your creative outlet?
Kir, these are so beautiful! i absolutely love them all, thanks for sharing. good for you on picking up your artistic passion again, we all get rusty but i have no doubt you'll be a well oiled machine soon. do share your stuff okay? | 2019-04-24T06:40:08 | http://www.triplemaxtons.com/2011/05/illustration-by-leigh-viner.html |
you were there Eddie. I would've sniffed a little of the signature Fliess, but mostly this has your energy. It doesn't take Nosetradamus (sic) to predict you guys have a hit. Thanks for the heads up. You have good scents. Pogo is cute, too.
incredible job here with the riffs ...a killer ..
Great bass work Macoco, and Eddie, you're all over this :-) Sometimes your guitar chords are a little unusual, but its a fun romp all the way through.
Loads of energy and fun!
I love the guitar tone.
Thank you for jumping into this one!
thanks for letting me have a go at it!
You two make a great combo. Lots of stuff goin on in this one, and it's all good. Great guitar licks and a soft melodic bed for them to rest. Very enjoyable listen.
this is a mover and a rocker indeed ... very cool work here guys!
Fun song! Catchy riff and easy to get into rhythm. The intertwined guitars are a blast to follow. Enjoyed!
Now, I want to see you doing this live on stage! Some unusual progressions and licks that nevertheless resolve into satisfying phrases.
what a totally fun, great listen! I love this track and will be listening to it frequently - GREAT music!
late on the comment! Totally agree with Karen!
Pura rocked it on it, Eddie.
just scream to be let out of their cage and roam free in this song!!! Gorgeous Eddie!

OMG Hubby has finally joined Facebook. Friend him NOW!
How did you do that…John still won’t!
Since I have this blog linked to Facebook (as well as LinkedIn and Twitter), I assume all the people I have now Friended and vice versa will find out that, wow, Presty is really a right-winger. (I’ve been a proud member of Hillary Clinton’s Vast Right Wing Conspiracy since the 1990s.) The thing, however, is that (1) I am perfectly capable of not talking about politics (remember that the phrase “the personal is political” did not come from the right side of the political aisle), and (2) I have no problems arguing ideas because ideas are supposed to be argued, and the way one improves the process of delivering opinions is to debate opinions. And, now that I think of it, there is a (3): If you don’t like a blog entry, don’t read it. | 2019-04-25T18:45:44 | https://steveprestegard.com/2011/05/19/apparently-i-am-a-sign-of-the-apocalypse/ |

Tom’s Midnight Garden is probably my favourite book of all time — not children’s book, but book. I don’t remember struggling with the language or the pace as a child, I was completely captivated and returned to the book again and again. Perhaps repeated readings helped me to absorb the difficult words and concepts?
Children of Green Knowe, and The Chimneys of Green Knowe, were also special favourites, along with The Dark is Rising. Such lovely, strange and magical books. They are in my heart forever.
Some time this year I am planning to read all of Alan Garner’s books (now I finally own them all!) I think that will be an interesting adventure.
I think – I hope – that there will always be children who will enjoy this quieter kind of book. I see so many books in my job as a bookseller, and lots of them seem to be written, illustrated and designed to a noisy, out-there, look-at-me, best-selling formula. There’s always the newest Big New Thing, launched to us in the bookshops with posters, giveaways, dump bins, bookmarks, celebrity profiles (comedians, anyone?), and of course, it’s the first of a series… I’m not faulting the writers or publishers (or, not too much!) because publishing is a business and money has to be made or there will be no books on shelves at all. But I hope the gentle, thoughtful children’s novel won’t become extinct.
I’m also planning on re-reading Alan Garner’s books this year. And I must get hold of the Susan Cooper books again; I remember loving The Dark is Rising. And perhaps Penelope Lively, too. So many books, so little time!
I am a big fan of Quiet Books. Particularly Small Quiet Books. They curl into your heart and nestle there long after the showy, noisy ones have vanished like smoke after fireworks.
Yes, quiet and small are good. I’ve been finding a lot of books are just a bit too long lately… I don’t know if it’s just me, but I will get off to a rip-roaring start and then about 2/3 the way through my interest and attention just sags – and sometimes don’t even finish (though of course I read the last two or three pages, just to see how things have turned out). There are a few early Margaret Drabble books that are small and perfect. And great for carrying in a handbag and reading on the train.I am always on the lookout in the Oppy for slim Penguin spines! | 2019-04-24T23:56:55 | http://veritysparks.com/?p=4609 |
Increased recycling of waste has led to an extensive handling and temporary storage of different types during the last two decades. Self-heating is often experienced in waste storage facilities and if the heat generation is greater than the heat lost to the surroundings, it could lead to self-ignition Statistics show that 60-70 fires occur each year at Swedish facilities for waste handling and storage on an industrial scale. One of the main reasons for fires in stored waste is self-heating. Currently the level of understanding of self-heating is insufficient, and therefore, a methodology for determining the self-heating properties of waste is needed to provide the cause and to prevent incidents.
A methodology is being developed for measuring the self-heating potential of different types of waste using a sensitive and powerful technique known as micro-calorimetry. Using this approach heat release due to different process, e.g. biological or chemical reactions, can be measured.
Experiments were performed on different mixtures of a mixture of a burnable fractions of municipal solid waste and industrial waste, Heat release was measured at different temperatures between 40 °C and 80 °C. Results show that the technique can be used to differentiate heat release rate for waste obtained from different sources and potentially to determine what types of waste (and waste fractions) are mainly responsible for the production of heat. It can also be used to characterize new types of mixtures. The present study confirms that heat release can be higher in comparison to wood pellets and there is a need for further investigations and guidelines which can be used for the safe storage of waste. | 2019-04-25T21:47:35 | https://open.lnu.se/index.php/eco-tech/article/view/1557 |
The Corner Booth: Why The Corner Booth?
That's where the best coffee came from a bottomless pot, along with hours of endless conversation. Before Indiana, back in the Shores of Michigan, there was Linda's - an open-all-day-and-night place where stories could be shared, souls could be searched and written ramblings often emerged on white paper napkins. The Corner Booth was where we grew up, telling our tales and learning what stories the world could tell us about who we were and who we'd become. We all have the power to change the world, one corner at a time. This is my little online corner booth where I can share my own observations and experiences... and just maybe help connect some of those other corners scattered across the globe. | 2019-04-18T20:21:05 | http://www.thediabeticscornerbooth.com/p/why-corner-booth.html |
When you’re trying to price a commercial loan, sometimes it can feel like you’re flying blind. Is this deal profitable? Is it too risky? It’s an unsettling feeling, and it’s one Dave Paulson, Head of Wholesale Banking at United Bank, understands.
“You just don’t know how much money you’re leaving on the table or, quite frankly, how many deals you’re losing because you’re not locked into the market,” said Paulson.
So, Paulson and his team at United, a $6.6 billion bank headquartered in Connecticut, set out to find a pricing solution that could give them the information they needed. United chose PrecisionLender, because they wanted something that was live to the market, was iterative, and allowed for scenario analysis. United needed to stay on top of market trends, on top of their portfolio, and have a good view of profitability.
They also wanted to make their relationship managers’ lives easier.
“It really came down to, ‘How do we make the banker most efficient with their time?’ And that comes with integrating across a multitude of different systems,” Paulson said.
Paulson knew that would be achieved by assembling a sales ecosystem. Initially, United started looking at loan origination systems (LOS), but because an LOS typically has a lengthy implementation time, they decided to start the process with PrecisionLender. Paulson also knew that the sooner PrecisionLender was in place, the sooner United would be able to reap a return on their investment.
Since implementing PrecisionLender, and integrating the solution with CRM and LOS systems, United Bank has improved their ability to steer their portfolio, to determine if the deals they’re pricing are profitable, and the way their RMs approach pricing deals.
That’s had a dramatic effect on United’s results.
“We’ve probably enjoyed a 200 or 300 basis point increase in our ROE,” Paulson said.
With the growth spurred by PrecisionLender, and the ability to structure deals with clearer visibility, Paulson has been able to restructure the incentive plan used for his RMs. They’ve moved from a plan based on production, to one based on ROE targets.
The positives don’t end there. When it comes to deals, United is also doing more with less.
Where once United was flying blind, they now have a clear vision of the way forward. It’s a future that includes smarter decisions, better deals, empowered RMs, and happy shareholders.

Something's Telling Us It Might Be...Stephen Bishop!
Here's some free advice for couples looking to ensure a long and happy marriage before the Big Day: don't let Stephen Bishop sing at your wedding. More specifically, don't let him sing "Separate Lives."
Bishop wrote the number and did his own take, but it's most recognizable from the version by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin, the theme from the movie White Nights. That song hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart in 1985 and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to Lionel Richie's "Say You, Say Me" from the same movie.
And while the wistful and sad lyrics about a broken love affair seems like an odd choice to perform at a wedding, Collins himself had Bishop do it as his own ceremony. Twice. To two different women.
"I had done a couple of songs at his last wedding about ten years ago in Geneva, Switzerland, and was about to leave the stage," Bishop remembers.
"Phil rushed up and said in my ear 'Stephen, I want you to do 'Separate Lives.'" And I said 'But Phil, I did it at your last wedding and it didn't go so well.' He said, 'No, I want you to do it again...just don't mention last time!'"
Since that performance, Collins has gotten divorced. Again. Leaving Bishop to wonder about possible supernatural powers.
"I don't know that it's a good omen for me to sing that song at anybody's wedding!" he laughs. "But the royalties were good while they lasted!"
Bishop will be opening for Christopher Cross Thursday evening at Stafford Centre.
As a singer/songwriter/guitarist, Bishop's career stretches back to his 1976 debut, Careless, and spans more than a dozen studio, live and demo records since then. His hits include "On and On," "Save It For a Rainy Day," "Everybody Needs Love," and the theme from the movie Tootsie (which he did not write), "It Might Be You."
His most recent effort is Be Here Then, which is available on iTunes and his Web site. But he says there wasn't anything he wanted to do on purpose with this record so much different from others in his discography.
"I never approach an album that way," he offers. "I usually put on a record just the songs I've been working on lately. And the songs that I save, I haven't recorded the way I want to." Case in point: "Promise Me the World." While a solo acoustic version has already appeared, a full-band take appears on Be Here Then.
But to some, his career has been a bit offbeat. In the liner notes to his anthology The Millennium Collection, he says, "I've always felt some people in this business could never quite figure me out...songwriter, recording person or a strange guy with weird clothes."
And though much of his best-known material leans toward ballads about love gone sour -- or yearning for it, as it does on Be Here Then -- I ask him to elaborate.
"Lots of people don't know. They judge me on the Tootsie song and think that's mostly what I do," he says. "But I do a lot of different things, and always have on my albums. I've had weird, eclectic songs with the ballads, and I'm still like that."
Tomorrow, Bishop remembers the Beatles, fun on the set of Animal House, hiding from an angry Rita Marley and how he ended up in possession of Debby Boone's Grammy for Best New Artist. He opens for Christopher Cross Thursday at Stafford Centre, 10505 Cash Rd. | 2019-04-24T22:17:32 | https://www.houstonpress.com/music/somethings-telling-us-it-might-bestephen-bishop-6529499 |

Ford Figo’s cabin goes in line with its recent design philosophy. The cabin is decorated in dual beige and black scheme with the dashboard housing a uniquely designed V-shaped centre console that houses the infotainment screen and ac vents. Above that lies an outstandingly carved out mobile dock that really looks premium. The dock allows USB and Aux connectivity that makes it more special. The sculpted steering wheel and the binnacles of the modern instrument cluster look pleasing to eyes.
The car scores some brownie points when it comes to storage. The 20 storage spaces make us wonder how much thought process the engineers have given while designing the cabin. The car houses huge glovebox, plenty of small cubbyholes, two bottle holders, and three cup-holders besides a large 359L boot. In terms of seating, the sporty front seats offer ample level of comfort including good lumbar support. Come to the rear and you will see one of the best in class seats which offer excellent space, thanks to the well-sculpted front seats.
Ford Aspire comes with oodles of gadgetry one would expect in this class of sedan. The car features Bluetooth telephony, music system with phone controls as well as steering mounted audio controls, all creating a perfect ambience of technology and practicality. Another interesting aspect of the car is Ford MyKey which is basically a system that controls settings such as volume, speed limit and reminding you of your seatbelts. The car comes with advanced voice activated SYNC infotainment system allowing you to handle call, text, listen to favourite songs as well as assisting you in emergency services in case of any mishap. The system is also compatible with Bluetooth, USB, Aux-in and powered by 4 speakers, two each at the front and the rear.
The car is available in three engine options, so there is no dearth of choice. Starting with the petrol line-up, the 1.2L Ti-VCT engine is capable of developing 88PS and 112Nm of torque, mated to 5-speed manual transmission. The powerful 1.5L from the same Ti-VCT family produces 110PS and max torque throughput of 136Nm. This motor comes mated to dual-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission.The diesel Aspire, on the other hand, gets the 1.5L TDCi motor that makes 100PS and 215Nm of torque. This one too is mated to 5-speed manual transmission. All these engines are familiar to the one who have driven Ford vehicles such as EcoSport and Fiesta. The 1.5L diesel is certainly a big surprise in the lot that brings positive effect on the performance as a result of good power and low weight. The acceleration is also strong. The 1.2L is an improved version with better throttle response, but the need for power can be demanding on open roads.
As far as Ford Aspire 2018 mileage is concerned, the 1.2-litre petrol engine is claimed to deliver 20.4 km/l as opposed to the diesel variants that see a marginal increase of 0.27 km/l in the fuel economy at 26.1 km/l.Ford has peeled off the weight in favour of better fuel efficiency. And that can be seen in the fact that the diesel version is capable of returning ARAI certified mileage of 25.83kmpl. And this is really a mind blowing thing especially for a newcomer in the segment. The diesel variant buyer will surely be pleased with the real world mileage. While petrol automatic is slightly low on fuel economy at 17kmpl, the manual one delivers 18.16kmpl.
On the safety front, Ford Aspire gets dual-airbags, ABS with EBD as a standard fitment right from the base variant. The top variant gets additional safety focus with 6 Airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Traction control, hill-start assist, rear parking camera with sensors and many more.The Ford Aspire 2018 features standard dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and seatbelt reminder for the driver and front passenger. The top-spec trim gets six airbags, emergency assistance, and the AT trim features hill launch assist, ESP and traction control system.
With new engines, cosmetic changes and more comfort as well as safety features, the Ford Aspire 2018 offers a better package. Moreover, it sees a price drop over its predecessor. Ford Aspire is available in four different variants namely Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Titanium+. As per the pricing, its base trim Ambiente is tagged at Rs. 5.71 lakh for the petrol trim and Rs. 6.83 lakh for diesel trim. The top spec model has been priced at Rs. 7.35 lakh from the petrol variant and Rs. 8.46 lakh for the diesel trim. Its Titanium model with automatic is offered at the price tag of Rs. 8.69 lakh while the top-selling trim 1.2 Ti-VCT Titanium is available at the price tag of Rs. 6.64 lakh, ex-showroom, New Delhi. Ford Aspire entered the segment quite late but managed to make some space with its unique appeal. It currently locks horns with Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Honda Amaze, Volkswagen Ameo, Tata Tigor, and Hyundai Xcent in the segment. | 2019-04-26T12:15:59 | http://isc2013.in/ford-figo-aspire-review-test-drive/ |

I love the start of a new month, it's like a mini imaginary fresh start. Plus it brings us a whole host of those new subscription goodies that arrive at our door once a month.
Out of all of them I think The Melt Crowd from Flamingo Candles is the best purely because it's so different. So far I've only received one scent melt that I didn't like, out of half a years subscription I think that's pretty good going.
Each month Flamingo Candles send you a selection of eight melts. These can include collection previews and exclusive scents. If you love all things candle related, I can't recommend this subscription highly enough. It's such fantastic value. Not only do you get free delivery but each melt retails for £2 so it's a total steal!
BARE Cinnamon & Mandarin - This is from their new range of scents that are made using only 100% essential oils. I'm not big on cinnamon and I find it a bit overwhelming in this scent, it seems to lose any hint of the mandarin as it's overpowered by it. I usually love their melts but really dislike this one.
Crystal Mountain Water - Usually I tend to opt for sweet, foodie scents but these makes a nice change. It's light, fresh and seems to me like a more bathroom fragrance.
Whisky - I was quite surprised when I saw this. It's a warming fragrance that I'm finding difficult to describe. It's not as strong as I expected it to be, which is a good thing. Definitely one the men wouldn't mind using.
Pink Denim - Scented with powdery fresh florals, reminding me more of a spring time fragrance. But lovely nonetheless.
Coconut - I love anything coconut scented and this doesn't disappoint. It has a really fresh scent to it finishing with a sweet note that reminds me of almond.
Strawberry Jam - This melt has a definite strawberry scent that I've smelt in other candles before but it has a slight tartness to the finish. Which seems to take away the synthetic sweetness.
Baby Powder - As soon as I smelt this it evoked memories of being much younger, covering myself in plenty of white talc. It's a light fragrance that's really lovely.
BARE Orange & Lemongrass - After smelling the cinnamon one I decided I really didn't like it so was expecting the same from this. Couldn't have been more wrong. This is sweet and mouthwateringly citrusy. Delicious!
Raspberry & Salted Caramel - This was a bonus for having my 6th box, what a nice little surprise. I've been wanting to try this scent since before I even started my subscription. The caramel has hints of vanilla, alongside the raspberry it makes for a delicious creamy treat.
I didn't post about the December box but it was full of deliciously, rich Christmas scents. As we had out of the festive season fragrances turn a little lighter and that shows through with this box.
I really like them all besides the cinnamon one which I won't be using. But I can't wait to get started on the others.
At current Flamingo Candles are having a 50% off sale on their Christmas range along with some others. I absolutely adore Bah! Humbug, it's such a unique scent. You can also save 25% everything else with the code SALE25. | 2019-04-21T16:54:55 | http://www.tasteslikeglitter.com/2016/01/flamingo-candles-melt-crowd-january.html |
Crêpes are fast and easy to prepare, and there’s no limit to how they can be filled or garnished. To minimize cooking time, we’ve decided to keep our recipe basic, but these chocolaty cakes are anything but boring. The dark chocolate crêpes are rich and slightly bitter. Combined with sweet Brandy cream and tangy berries, every bite says “I love you”.
In a blender, combine all of the crêpe ingredients and blend on medium speed until completely smooth. If you don’t have a blender, mix dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Wash and slice berries. Set aside.
Combine all brandy cream ingredients and whip. Refrigerate.
Heat a 9” non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small dab of butter to coat the pan. When butter is melted, pour 1/4 cup of the crêpe mixture into the centre of the skillet and start swirling immediately to spread the batter evenly. Cook the crêpe for 1 minute or until the centre is set, then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Lay flat to cool slightly.
Fill with the desired ingredients, then serve a plateful of love. | 2019-04-22T21:57:44 | https://www.natrel.ca/en/recipes/breakfast/dark-chocolate-crepes-brandy-cream |

Hi Fiona, I’m Tracee de Hahn, thanks for hosting me!
I was born in Cape Girardeau, which sounds exotic, particularly when said by my husband with his European accent. In actuality, it is a small city located on the Mississippi River in Missouri. “The Cape” referred to a rock promontory overlooking the river. When I was quite young my family moved to Kentucky.
To me, “where are you from” is interesting because I modify my response according to the questioner. Now that I live in Virginia I tend to say Kentucky. If I meet someone from the American South I might say I grew up in Kentucky, but my family is from Arkansas (whereupon distant relatives start to interconnect in our conversation). When I lived in Europe I said the United States. Often while traveling in the Far East or India I say the US and the immediate reply is New York or California?
I stayed in Kentucky for university and graduate school – a bachelor of architecture followed by a master’s degree in history. After practicing architecture for some time I moved to Europe with my husband who is Swiss and Canadian. We lived in Venice before moving to Switzerland where we were based in Lausanne. Eventually we returned to the states, living in Kentucky, California and now Virginia.
At home the news is that my second book, A WELL-TIMED MURDER launches the 6th of February while thefirst book in the series, SWISS VENDETTA, is out in paperback in January. Every time a new edition arrives the thrill is renewed. I had no idea what to expect when SWISS VENDETTA came out in audio and large print and seeing that cover art was amazing. I should add that seeing my book in the Zurich airport bookstore was a big thrill. I was jet lagged but that certainly woke me up!
While I was in architecture school my father was a practicing Emergency Medicine physician. This meant he worked several days in a row then had several days off. He had the idea for a story and, since I was a voracious reader, he asked me if I thought we could turn his idea into a book. I was excited about the idea – plus he was paying my tuition! – and we spent a summer writing. It was a self-taught master’s class involving lots of research, lots of examination of other books, trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Theresult was a thriller, and in retrospect I think that it was quite good. Interestingly, neither of us were much into sales so we didn’t push for publication. We did go on to write another book, which I really think was quite good.
By this point I had the bug. I started my architecture career and kept writing. I moved to Europe and kept writing. Honestly, I was obsessed with stories and putting words on paper. It wasn’t until a few years ago that a British friend insisted I make an effort to be published. Maybe it was simply the right time, but it all came into place.
When I signed the contact with my agent and a few months later with my publisher.
If you mean the first one I wrote alone…. I was on the writing train by then. I always read widely – although mysteries were my first love because of Agatha Christie – and I tried my hand at a few genres. Thrillers with my father, a romance on my own, before turning to a mystery. That mystery is the one that was published as SWISS VENDETTA. The literal inspiration was life in Switzerland. I had in mind a chateau based on Chateau Chillon and a manor house attached to a Romanesque church owned by friends of ours on Lac Leman. Next question was who lives there and why does someone die on their property?
I had a very different working title and my agent said Switzerland is too important to the book to not include it in the title. We bounced ideas around involving Swiss and Switzerland coupled with other words. Vendetta was the right pick! The next in the series is A WELL-TIMED MURDER and I knew we couldn’t keep Swiss in every title but I tried the same technique using words that represented the theme. My publisher liked the working title and it remained!
That’s a hard question to answer. I suppose that my writing style is my own and I can’t characterize it differently. I do love descriptions and have to remember to trim them! And readers say that they can tell I have a love of architecture because the places feel real. Recently I had a colleague in the publishing industry say that he liked A WELL-TIMED MURDER and its pacing, and that he found my style almost journalistic.
As far as genre goes, writing in the mystery genre means you have to embrace it. Or at least start off from a point of respect. Clues must be given, along with red-herrings. The reader wants to be challenged, yet the solution must be reasonable. As a mystery writer I am often reminded that all stories are a mystery – why was her heart broken, why did they lose the farm, why did the family emigrate? In all stories there is a search and a reason.
Such a great question. Nothing is literally based on someone or something. That said (and it’s almost like a legal disclaimer!) everything is based on something real. For example, in SWISS VENDETTA, Vladimir Arsov’s backstory is based on the tremendous amount of reading I did for my master’s degree with a concentration in Russian history. While his story is not true, there is truth in it. The marquise is another good example. My mother-in-law was the daughter of Swedish and Canadian diplomats and she had a fascinating childhood (pre-World War II). Then she married a Baltic baron. She was certainly the inspiration for the marquis. Not in the details of their lives, or where they are from, but in their attitude toward life, and a certain stoicism toward the past and the future.
I am perhaps fortunate to have travelled a great deal. I first went to Europe when I was sixteen and have been back nearly every year since then, and that’s over thirty years ago. Since the Agnes Lüthi series is set in Switzerland, I am able to pull upon my memories of living there, and past visits to set the basic structure of the books. I then make a specific trip or trips to see the places again, and to talk to people about details of the book. For example, planning A WELL-TIMED MURDER I knew that I wanted the crime to focus on the watchmaking industry since it is central to the Swiss economy. We have good friends who own their own watchmaking company and they were a starting point for my journey of discovery. I hadn’t been to Baselworld – the annual watch and jewellery show – and when I arrived I knew that I had my openingscene.
I plan to spend several months in Switzerland next year, a great fact finding adventure! This time living in the Italian speaking Ticinese region.
St. Martin’s Press, which is the parent of the Minotaur Press mystery imprint, handles all of the cover design and they have done a marvellous job. When I saw the very first cover I had no pre-conceived notion and it was perfect. The designs are based on iconic images featured on Swiss post cards in the early part of the twentieth century.
I recently finished a book by Susan Rivers titled THE SECOND MRS. HOCKADAY. It is a mystery, but not a mystery. It is the story of a woman during the American Civil War, and at the heart of her story a mystery emerges (technically it is a death, and they suspect murder). But it doesn’t read like a mystery novel. At the end the mystery is explained (which does feel like a mystery novel). I enjoyed this book on many levels.
As far as a favorite author. I find that difficult to answer. I have so many ‘old favorites’ including Martha Grimes andElizabethGeorge. And there are the truly old favorites, the classics, including Agatha Christie. Today I find myself reading so widely I perhaps haven’t latched onto a new one.
The Angonkian New York Pitch Conference. What a great experience and great people.
Absolutely. I have the good fortune to write full time now. This allows me flexibility to travel – there is nothing like the thrill of meeting readers in stores or libraries or through book clubs. I’ve had great fun Skyping book clubs who are too distant to visit in person.
The impossible question. I’m sure that if I set it aside and revisited it in a year I would change things, but that is writing. Nothing is ever perfect – quite possibly this is why so many people never finish their manuscripts. All I hope to do is learn from my ‘mistakes.’ I should note that part of never being satisfied is that every reader approaches the book from a different perspective. I’ve even changed my feeling about a book dependant on when I read it. I’m sure that with each reading I would find something entirely different to change. In the end, like life, once the moment has passed it is over and written into the annals of time.
I never have an answer for this. A film is so entirely different from a book and I would trust that the director understood the project and would make the best decision.
Keep at it. Read as much as you can, and write as much as you can (that may mean five minutes a day or five hours). Don’t ignore expert advice. As writers we are so close to our projects that objectivity is difficult. Listen to criticism, set it aside and listen again when it’s not so fresh. The best books have probably been edited so many times it would make your head hurt. Writing is really re-writing. Prepare for that.
Mainly, thanks. Time is a precious commodity and I want to thank each and every person who shared time with me. And thanks for the many emails sharing your favorite parts, asking questions or simply talking about your experiences and how the book resonated with you.
Hmmm. I’m at the selection stage tonight. My To Be Read pile is huge; however, I suspect I may turn to non-fiction for a bit since I’m also trying to make great headway on my own work. Non-fiction can clear the head.
I would be hard pressed to name the first book. Probably one by Dr. Seuss. By the end of 1st grade I’d read all of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s LITTLE HOUSE books, by the end of 4th grade all of Agatha Christie’s. That was a pretty good start.
Cry? Practically anything. Any sort of dramatic music – I’m the person who cries at commercials. Laugh? That’s a harder question. I suppose I see joy in many things and laughter follows.
This is a constantly changing list. Recently, I’ve been thinking about Winston Churchill. You ask what makes me cry – turn on a clip of Churchill’s funeral, at the point where the river cranes bow to the barge passing with his body. I know that it was planned as part of the overall parade ceremony but it was so incredibly effective. Even writing this I am teary eyed. Seriously.
Oh, yes, I come from a family of hobbyists! I particularly enjoy painting, mainly portraits. I would like to enjoy gardening more than I do. I think I undertake too much and it is literally fatiguing.
I was a huge fan of JUSTIFIED, probably because Timothy Olyphant was fantastic. Plus I’m from Kentucky and loved seeing how the state and its culture were portrayed.
The list of favorites would be too long, which likely means I don’t really have favorites. In my family we ask“if you could only have one type of cheese for the rest of your life what would it be?”Gruyère, is the easy (and only correct answer). I’m also a big fan of chocolate and bourbon. Really big fan.
I’ll always write. Even if I have to speak into a recorder instead of using my hands.
I don’t have words in mind as much as I envision an entire carved effigy – there is a lovely one of Elizabeth Boott Duveneck in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I would look very nice carved in stone!
Fiona, thanks for having me!
Fiona, thanks for hosting me today! Best regards… and now back to writing. | 2019-04-23T10:54:00 | https://authorsinterviews.wordpress.com/2017/12/01/here-is-my-interview-with-tracee-de-hahn/ |
GERMANTOWN, Md. — January 16, 2019 — The HealthWell Foundation®, an independent non-profit that provides a financial lifeline for inadequately insured Americans, has opened a new fund offering financial assistance to patients who are living with migraines. The new fund provides up to $4,000 in copayment or premium assistance to eligible patients who are living with migraines and have annual household incomes up to 500% of the federal poverty level to assist with medical treatments.
Migraine is a neurological disease with extremely incapacitating neurological symptoms that affects approximately 39 million people in the United States and is the third most prevalent illness in the world. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, migraine is typically a severe throbbing recurring pain, usually on one side of the head. But in about 1/3 of attacks, both sides are affected. Attacks are often accompanied by disabling symptoms such as visual disturbances, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, extreme sensitivity to sound, light, touch and smell, and tingling or numbness in the extremities or face. In some cases, other disabling symptoms are present without head pain. American employers lose more than $13 billion each year as a result of 113 million lost work days due to migraine.
To determine eligibility and apply for financial assistance, visit HealthWell’s Migraine Fund page. To learn how you can support this or other HealthWell programs, visit HealthWellFoundation.org.
Founded in 1970, the National Headache Foundation is the oldest and largest foundation for patients with headaches. Its mission is “To cure headache, and end its pain and suffering.” Its vision is “A World Without Headache.” The Foundation is the premier educational and informational resource for those with headache, health care providers, and the public. The work of the Foundation is through education, raising awareness, advocacy, and research. In order to help patients access quality healthcare for their headaches, the Foundation has established the Certificate of Added Qualification in Headache Medicine for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, and clinical psychologists who treat headache patients. It publishes the quarterly magazine, HeadWise® and the monthly e-newsletter, NHF News to Know. | 2019-04-20T06:32:36 | https://www.healthwellfoundation.org/story/healthwell-foundation-launches-new-fund-to-assist-migraine-patients/ |
It's definitely all over for Ola Gorie; I received a second notice from them just days ago saying they had sold out all their remaining inventory for resale, and that they are only going to retail their line from their shop in Kirkwall. Too bad, their stuff was just magnificent. We still have some in stock, so call or email as to what's still available - but once it's gone, it's GONE, and there's no more available. We're looking at the line from SHETLAND JEWELLERY and we'll let you know when we get some in, hopefully for the Woodland Games.
SPORRANS is this month's dress topic, and there's a lot to say about them. Too many times do we see sporrans that are just WRONG - big, bulging rucksacks filled with cel phones, large wallets, rolls of hemp, whatnot, just too much JUNK!
DAY WEAR: there's a lot of leeway here. Leather, fur, brass/leather, brass/fur, silver/leather, silver/fur, artificial fur for those who desire it, even the dreaded NAUGAHIDE (wow, do you know how many naugas gave their lives for that sporran?). You can wear just about anything with daywear - except a Great Hairy. Just don't. It looks ridiculous. Hair sporrans are for military dress only, ceremonial or full dress. Yes, you can wear an evening sporran with day dress, just make it a more formal version of day dress, not a t-shirt and flipflops.
For some sporran ideas, here's our COMMERCIAL SPORRAN LINE - for those who aren't faint of heart or wallet, here are some examples of our CUSTOM SPORRANS.
Sporran chains - most of the current commercial chains are crap, but there are some interesting new celtic interlace and St. Andrew's cross designs out there, not cheap thoough - but what is, anymore? Unless you want to blow your next bonus on a silver sporran chain like the ones I make, you're pretty much out of luck for choices of different chain styles. Some people get a couple of curb chain dog collars and cobble them together - or you can always wear a leather sporran strap with a daywear or military sporran.
Now as to what goes in your sporran: keep it simple. A set of car keys, a small billfold, not much more than that. If you need a place for more stuff and aren't wearing a jacket, get one of those waist belt pouches that many of the suppliers now sell. You can put all your piping bits in one of those - much safer than a sporran to keep your spare chanter reeds and hemp. They also sell little cel phone holders for your belt as well - or why not try living without one for a day? Or even better, get a backpack for all your junk, and let your sporran have the day off!
Now just don't get me started about the Ren Fairy sporrans....! NEXT MONTH - THE KILT!

This recipe was sent to me by Meni. It’s easy to make, and really really yummi!
Put abundant olive oil into a large pot, roast garlic pieces and let them slowly brown. Put in peeled tomatoes (careful with hot oil!), salt, pepper, and sugar, and let it simmer.
Season the thin veal cuts with salt and pepper. Put them into the sauce, and let them cook directly in there. When the meat is ready, put a tall slice of mozarella on top, and an anchovis on top of it. Add capers and oregano. Let the mozarella melt.
As a side dish – fresh pasta, or spinach with butter, or potatoes or cauliflower.
And – it’s worth making more sauce, any leftovers of the sauce are perfect with penne the next day! | 2019-04-26T16:20:53 | https://www.backen-und-kochen.ch/pizzaiola/ |
The Joy of seeing fleeting details of life as it unfolds is Contagious. Being able to freeze life in a split second, a moment in life that will never be duplicated excites me.
Everyday I come to realize and rediscover my deep passions for life and photography. I truly hope you have the same experience viewing my images. | 2019-04-22T17:55:10 | http://www.pnkphoto.com/portfolios.html |
The robots.txt file, its syntax and its role.
The robots.txt file is intended for the "spiders". Spiders are programs which explore the Web and enable search engines to discover your site and to analyze its contents.
- prohibit the exploration of certain pages to some spiders.
Note that the "robots" meta tag can also be added in each one of your pages to prohibit indexing.
Comment. This will be ignored by robots.
This mention can be followed by * or by the exact name of an existing spider.
This mention can be followed by only ONE repertory or file name.
where AAAAAAA and AAAAAAA' are the names of the robots and BBBBBBB, BBBBBBB ', CCCCCCC and CCCCCCC' the names of the files and/or repertories that you wish to hide to these robots.
If you use the * instead of the name of a robot, the following lines will be regarded as prohibitions of indexing for ALL the robots.
If you use the "/" instead of the file name, NO file of the site will be indexed.
LinkSpirit is a free utility, downloadable on this site, that enables you to create or edit easily "robots" Meta-tags and the "robot.txt" file.
This utility carries out a checking of the syntax of your Robots.txt file by taking into account the rules appearing on: http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html and the robots listed on: http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/active/html/index.html.
If you wish to proceed manually, you just need a text editor (Wordpad for example) to create a text file (with the .txt extension).
Here is a typical example of what can be the contents of the file robots.txt.
c) Disallow:/sources/ none of the files contained in the "sources" repertory can be indexed.
d) Disallow:/admin/perso/ none of the files contained in the "admin/perso" repertory can be indexed.
Note: During the transfer of this file to your FTP, be sure to use the ASCII transfert mode.
a) Only one robots.txt file must exist on the whole of your site. It must be located at the root of it.
b) If you wish to impose different rules for each search engine, you can (and you must) create several User-agent sections.
c) The name of the file (robots.txt) must be imperatively be written in low case.
d) Register only one directory or one file name behind the Disallow order. Disallow syntax: "file1.htm, file2.htm" is not authorized neither is "Dir1/, Dir2/".
E) Transfer your robots.txt file in ASCII mode. Many ftp-client modify the code of the txt files when they are not transferred in ASCII mode. This is the cause of the most frequently encountered problems with the robots.txt file.
b) "Allow" field does not exist.
b) The "Allow" field exists and enables to make exceptions to a general prohibition.
CAUTION: "Google rules" can make your robots.txt file incomprehensible to other robots if they appear in a "User-agent: *" zone. Thus allways put those particular instructions after "User-agent: Googlebot". | 2019-04-20T12:35:55 | http://rankspirit.com/frobotseng.php |
Iapetus is a medium sized icy satellite of Saturn. It has two spectacular features: the equatorial ridge (ER) and the abnormally large flattening. The flattening is usually explained in terms of large non-hydrostatic fossil equatorial bulge (EB) supported by a thick lithosphere. Here we show, building on the principle of isostasy, that EB and ER could be a result of low density roots underlying the lithosphere below the equator. The low density matter formed the layer over the core of the satellite. Such situation was unstable. The instability led to origin of axially symmetric plumes that formed equatorial bulge and equatorial ridge. So, we explain both: EB and ER in the frame of one hypothesis. | 2019-04-23T18:48:09 | https://www.igf.fuw.edu.pl/pl/publications/401/ |

Sometimes you just need some quality time with friends. As much as I love my nights out with friends. There is often nothing better than than sitting in a pub beer garden, the sun shining and enjoying some good food.
Last Sunday the sun was shining and 4 of us headed to a pub for Sunday lunch and the weather was nice enough to sit outside.
I decided to go for the beef burger over a Sunday roast as I really wanted chips. The burger came with a slice of bacon which was more like a bacon chop than a slice of bacon! It was really tasty and the double cooked chips were delicious.
This might be a little bit random but I love the window in the ladies loo's and snapped a picture of it. I thought I may as well include it.
After we'd had the main the the sun had started to go down so we asked if we could move inside despite there being a lot of tables free in the restaurant and not many people in the bar area we got told we could but it would have to be the unset table next to the back door and she'd send someone over with menu's. It was colder next to the door than it was outside and we waited about 10 mins for them to come over with menu's then after another 20 mins we got told the table officially counted as outside and we need to order at the bar. That was fine but it would have been nice to have been told that when we asked about the table. Once we'd finished we walked back through the pub and most of the same tables were still free. The most annoying thing was we were sat under a sign saying rate us on trip advisor.
I decided to have the cookies and icecream which was really good. I don't usually like chocolate icecream but it was delicious. What I didn't realise was the toffee coloured ice cream, wasn't toffee but was irish cream and was awful. If I'd spotted it on the menu I'd have asked not to have that as it really ruined the flavour of the cookies.
The cookie itself was warm and gooey and I would have it again but I'd probably just ask for vanilla ice cream.
I had a lovely afternoon with friends. We chatted and caught up as we really don't get to spend as much time with each other as we'd like.
Last year I read about 30 books, it might have been a couple more. For 2016 I set the aim of reading 52 books. 1 book a week or 4.3 a month. That shouldn't be too difficult or so I thought.
Here we are on 19th March and I have finished book number .... wait for it.... going off one a week it should be about number 11.
Err yeah, so I don't know what has happened but I just haven't been enjoying reading. I have started three different books and I'm not getting very far. One of the books I've been reading since the middle of last year and while it should have been a fairly quick chick lit book, I'm sure I could have read War & Peace quicker!
Book 2 took me about 3 days to read, which is about average for my reading speed and you know what I really enjoyed it.
I knew I would as it's by one of my favourite authors, Milly Johnson. There is only one of her books that I couldn't get into and I'm not sure why. I will be looking out for it and giving it another try.
I'm not going to do this review in my normal style as I need to just type and let my thoughts flow out.
I will start with what I normally leave the the end and that is the score I give the book on my Goodreads account. 5 stars, I wish I could give more.
This book is centred around a cleaning firm in Barnsley, when the owners wife finds out he's planning to leave her for the 19 year old office assistant she put's plans into place to get the upper hand.
The story follow's Connie the wife, her partner in crime Della and a host of cleaners who each have their own stories to tell. It's filled with funny well timed expletives. The strange and odd things cleaners have to see. A spattering of the rough side of town and the bad guys getting their comeuppance.
I laughed, I had a little cry and I've told at least 4 people they need to read this book and to you reading this YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!
When I was trying to explain this book to a colleague he looked at me strange when I said it was about cleaners and I think he thought it was a Marie Kondo type book but it really is a laugh out loud funny book and I have to give it credit for getting me back in to reading.
While I know I'm not going to meet my aim of reading 52 books in 2016. I'm ok with that. If I only read 3 more books this year I'll be happy and now I've finished this I've also almost finished the books I've been reading for almost 6 months.
Thank you Milly Johnson for getting me back to enjoying reading and when is your next book due out?
I've been out of sorts with the blog of late and needed a bit of inspiration to come back to the keyboard. When I spotted an invite to The Body Shop store in Manchester to see their new British Roses collection I contacted them to see if there were any spaces left.
As always I was early (I don't know how I do it!) I got a chance to look round the store and I'm amazed at how many great products there are.
I really enjoyed my browsing time as it made me realise just how many products and ranges are available. I do use a few of the Body Shops products but when I pop into a store I always head towards those products and never really spend much time looking at everything else.
I didn't take up the chance to have a skin consultation as I had a mini make over as my first treatment but there is a great range of products and I have to say everything was so beautifully displayed.
The team in the Manchester Royal Exchange store were all really lovely and knew there stuff. There was a choice of three mini pamper sessions. A mini make over, skin care assessment in their new assessment area and a hand and arm massage using the British Roses products.
I was lucky enough to have a make over and I really liked how my makeup turned out, I struggle with a foundation match and she got it straight away. Sahara Light if you're interested! I've got a couple of foundations to work on but I think this might be my next foundation, she also used the Blurr primer on me which is one I've been looking at. To test how it works she put some the first joint (bit above the knuckle) on my first finger and then compared it against the other hand and the difference was amazing. I wish I'd taken a picture.
As well as the traditional beauty products the Body Shop has also introduced some Makeup items into this collection. There is a makeup pallet which has a mixture of eye and face powders. There are also lip and cheek stains. These are something I've always been a bit wary of as when I've used similar in the past I've ended up looking like Aunt Sally! We were given a tip to apply them to the cheeks after applying primer but before foundation. Which sounds so simple but I'd never thought of it before.
I've never been a huge fan of Rose scents until recently when I've been using a balm cleaners which contains Rosehip, this is a totally different type of smell to roses but since i've been using that I'm finding myself liking the smell of rose scented products. I guess you're nose for things change just as much as tastebud can.
The British Rose products have a very light scent and it isn't over powering or a sickly sweet smell. I had a hand and arm massage using the exfoliator, shower gel, body lotion (much lighter than body butter) and a spritz of EDT. The scent lasted till the next morning but was light and very wearable.
Last week I was invited to a blogger event hosted at the Style Station in the Arndale Centre Manchester. The style station is from the love people at Red Angel Hair has 4 stations where they can create quick and easy hair styles.
They have a menu of styles to choose from with prices starting from £5 for a fishtail braid and I think the most expensive price was £18 (don't quote me on that). I think the prices are really good value and the majority of the styles were around £9.
We all know I own far too many bobbles and hair ties but if you are in need of more they have a range of bobbles including the ones that are no mark ones and other hair accessories.
It was a great evening, it was good to catch up with other local bloggers that I haven't seen for a while and the wine and canapés by Rosso and Artisan where a lovely touch.
I was very impressed with all the styles I saw created and how quick they worked. I'm almost regretting having my hair cut now as I've always wanted a fishtail braid and have never successfully managed one in my own hair. I'd happily pay £5 for someone to put one in my hair.
I was expecting it to be in a shop unit and not in the middle of the shopping centre itself and initially it felt a bit odd to be stood in the middle of the Arndale watching people have their hair done but once I was sat in the chair it felt quite private and I really enjoyed the experience. I wasn't sure what to go for as my hair isn't all that co-operative. I'd love to have hair that I could make wavy and curly but I just can't do it. Chloe suggested we went for the wavy style and I did warn her my hair wouldn't co-operate but she said it would but it would be more set and would soften over time to be more wavy.
When I've tried to curl my hair in the past the first piece is usually straight before I've curled all my hair but my hair was still curly by the time I go home and it was still wavy the next day.
For someone with very uncooperative hair I'm really happy with how long my style lasted and I will be back for another visit before I go on a night out. | 2019-04-25T13:42:28 | http://www.seeingspots.co.uk/2016/03/ |
I’m about to make some life changing decisions in the very near future, decisions that I feel will positively shape my life forever, new endings will meet with new beginnings and a new chapter of my life will become alive. So how do I know if I am making the right decision? I can honestly say that I am a values-driven person and I will use by values as my inner guidance to ultimately support the right choice for me. After all, how else can I ensure I be deeply authentic to myself if I don’t honour my values. It’s all about nourishing your heart and that’s what inspired this next poem for you.
Living life on purpose, it feels so mighty fine.
Wow! Is all I have to say. Your poem gave me goose bumps! Exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for the healing :)! | 2019-04-26T13:37:54 | https://clarabelle.org/2012/10/05/nourishing-your-heart-2/ |
-Work smart, be efficient/effective in your actions. If you can get more work done in the same amount of time as someone else you will always stay ahead of the competition.
-Think long term. Short term solutions will effect you on the long run. Whether its about building a body, a business or a relationship. If you want it to be healthy you need to invest the time and put in the work. Be consistent and stable!
- Take chances. There are no certainties in life, only opportunities. The only certainty you have is that if you dont act, nothing will happen! Be confident! | 2019-04-25T18:11:49 | https://kazvibes.com/blogs/news/3-things-to-live-by |
