Me and my brother in law were extremely excited for the incoming concert of Leann Rimes here. He planned everything because he knows that like him, I also like Leann Rimes songs and country music. The day has finally come, and waiting for our ride to the concert. He never tells until the White limousine stops by in front of their house to pick us up. Me, and my sister in law were really shocked. She couldn't come because she doesn't have a babysitter for her 1 yr old baby girl.
So, I called my husband and forced him to join us. Told him the Limo ride we have to see the concert. It was really a very nice ride and the first time ever I rode on a Limousine. It is fantastic, everyone has a great evening from the ride to the concert.
I will share you the Limousine and the inside the concert.
It's really wonderful to start off a night in style! Especially if you plan to make it one of the most memorable! The limo looks really grand, it's a wonder people didn't line up for an autograph! | 2019-04-22T22:32:33 | http://www.thekidsbuzz.com/2009/08/limo-rides-to-see-leann-rimes-concert.html |
Enter in on the Great Debate - how do you roll your toilet paper? Over or under?
I'm definitely a member of Team Over. I find that it is easier to use that way.
Head over to Cottonelle Roll Poll and let them know how you roll. When you do, come back here and leave a comment letting everyone know which team you joined.
By leaving a comment on this post, you will be entered to win 1 of 10 Cottonelle gift baskets randomly chosen on January 29, 2010 from all entries, courtesy of Cottonelle and the Mom Blogger's Club.
I received no compensation for this post, but am posting as an entry into a contest to win a one month's supply of Cottonelle toilet paper as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club.
I'm a member of Team Over!!!
There must be an Aussie here -- we are down Under!
I never used to care until I met my husband, who feels VERY strongly about it being OVER.
I am a member of Team Over!! I never thought that it was any other way. When I first got married, my future ex-husband started yelling at me one day when he said that I put the toilet paper on wrong. He was a Team Under. I was raised where we were just glad if someone replaced it when the roll was all gone.
It's gotta be OVER. It looks much neater that way.
Definitely over! At my first job, during training, the owner taught us how to put the toilet paper on the roll "correctly". It made sense and it's been over ever since! | 2019-04-22T09:59:58 | http://www.abusymomoftwo.com/2010/01/how-do-you-roll.html |

James A. Kuchenbecker, Sara Patterson, Maureen Neitz, Jay Neitz; The best of both worlds: A Maxwellian view visual stimulator incorporating a DLP spatiotemporal light driver with a programmable tunable spectrum source for studying human color vision. Journal of Vision 2017;17(15):45. doi: 10.1167/17.15.45.
For decades, psychophysical experiments investigating human color vision were performed using multichannel Maxwellian view optical systems. These employed grating monochromators and spectral filters to provide exquisite control of the spectral properties of the stimuli which are important for color matching experiments, measurements of wavelength discrimination, and spectral sensitivity in people with normal color vision and a variety of vision disorders. However, those systems provided limited control of the spatial and temporal aspects of the visual stimulus. Later, computer-controlled video displays became popular, offering vision scientists tremendous freedom to manipulate stimuli in time and space. However, the spectrum of a video display is limited to just a red, green, and blue primary, which greatly restricts the type of experiments that can be done to test hypotheses about color vision mechanisms. To overcome the limitations of both afore-described visual display systems, we have developed a visual stimulus generator using a DLP mirror based projector (LightCrafter (LC) 4500), and a programmable tunable light source (OL 490 Agile) which can provide high speed programmable spectra with monochromatic band-passes and continuous spectra with any distribution. These two devices are synchronized so that spectrums generated by the OL 490 are substituted for the RGB primaries of the projector. This produces a display with high spatial resolution, precise and fast timing, repeatable gamma functions, and any spectrum on three separate channels. In addition, a standard digital video input on the LC allows for presentation of images generated by Psychtoolbox, P5, or ViSaGe (Cambridge Research Systems). | 2019-04-24T00:04:42 | https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2667407 |
In 1998 Dulwich Park Friends started a campaign for a playground in the park by collecting a petition of over 750 signatures and presenting a deputation to Southwark Council. Fundraising by the Friends produced £20,000.
After a user survey and public consultation on designs, Phase 1 of the playground was completed in June 1999. 300 questionnaires were sent 11-16 year olds in local schools which indicated very poor facilities for this age group in Southwark. We made a second deputation to the Council and Phase 2 was designed.
The Friends raised a further £35,000 from applications to grant trusts and Phase 2 was completed in July 2000. | 2019-04-24T06:30:35 | https://dulwichparkfriends.org.uk/2001/03/01/childrens-playground-2001/ |

I enrolled at the University of Melbourne in 2008 to pursue a PhD in Chemistry.
I enrolled at the University of Melbourne in 2008 to pursue a PhD in Chemistry after completing my undergraduate chemistry degree at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, in Canada.
My work focused on developing inks containing semiconducting nanocrystals called ‘quantum dots' to produce printable solar cells. This work was done in collaboration with CSIRO and gave me an opportunity to interact with and learn from brilliant, creative people from both organizations. My work also gave me the opportunity to speak about the benefits of renewable energy to a broad range of audiences, including interviews with The Age and ABC Radio.
Following my PhD I moved to the US in 2011, working as a Senior Scientist at QD Vision, an MIT start-up company that uses quantum dots to improve the colour capability of TVs and monitors. I was able to directly apply the knowledge gained from my time at Melbourne University to work as part of the team that produced the world's first commercially successful quantum dot display component, featured in a range of Sony televisions.
In 2014 I obtained a position at E-Ink Corporation, another former MIT start-up and the world's leading e-paper manufacturer. At E-Ink I currently work on developing new materials and processes to help grow the company's business beyond e-readers to include a whole variety of new applications. On a daily basis I get to interact with a wide range of chemists, physicists and engineers so there is always something new and exciting to learn.
Although I now live halfway across the world, I frequently keep in touch with many of my former PhD colleagues and will always cherish the time I spent at Melbourne University. | 2019-04-25T18:38:39 | https://chemistry.unimelb.edu.au/engage/alumni-profiles/brandon-macdonald |
"Bedroom Eyes" Dum Dum Girls - Random comment: I never got into the "I Heart" craze. That just sounded plain silly. Just say you love it. Like we love the new Dum Dum Girls. The ladys' also give away "Bedroom Eyes" as a free download..more on that story here.
"Hex Girlfriend" Neon Indian - The 2nd best song from Neon Indian from his new album Era Extrana.
"Remember" Lali Puna. Didn't know much about her except she's pretty awesome. Oh wait...Lali Puna is not a person at all...that's just the name of this experimental electropop indie project from Berlin. They're on the 4th album...look for a feature on BitCandy soon.
"Move On" Lali Puna - Another great one from the band from Lali Puna's 2010 album "Inventions." Yes, it's not from 2011 not did it come out last week but even a year old still deserves to be brought to your ears.
"Glass Tambourine" Wild Flag - my favorite song from the new album that came out September 13th on Merge Records.
"Too Late, Too Far" Can't - Every Spin Magazine that comes out I tedious and tortuously go through all the bad music they casually review. C'mon Spin...just give us the 3 best albums we need to get. Anyway...was digging this one song (and only one song) from Can't. Note to Band: "Can't" is not the best name for a band from Google Search perspective. You just took 1st place from "Real Estate" in a band name Google probably doesn't like.
"Sweetheart" (A.K.A. Love You) HTRK - Do you like drippy and dreamy 3 a.m. vibe pop? Me too!! These beats and chords just ooze and slide down your walls at the late a.m. hours.
"Det Haster!" Casiokids - from the elusive band from Norway. I say elusive because Norway dudes...you don't even allow embeds of your videos from youtube? C'mon guys get it together! The music on the other hand...is very "together."
"Ave Maria" ceo - from an artist that doesn't like to use capitals comes ceo.
"Afternoon" Youth Lagoon - the song and artist that all the hipsters are creaming their pants on. | 2019-04-23T08:22:34 | https://www.wearetheguard.com/music/bestofindieweek40 |

Fall might not be in San Diego just yet, but the temperatures are cooling and I will take any excuse to get into sweater season (#myfave!) I'm not a huge fan of the color orange or Halloween, but I do love the mingling of fall colors and the neutral ways to add fall vibes to my home. Here are some of my top 6 things to start getting into the cozy, colorful season this year.
one: In the spring, I did a little DIY floral wreath that brought such a fun vibe to the front door. Now with the leaves changing everywhere but southern California, I fell in love with this find from Crate and Barrel to get into the fall spirit.
two: Blanket scarves are one of my favorite things because of the very name. It can be a great throw blanket in your living room or you can quite literally wear it out the door. I love the neutral plaids for fall both in and out the house.
three: Sometimes the bathroom, especially your own bathroom vs. the guest bathroom stays the same year round. This year, I'm excited to dress it up with some rust and white patterned towels. I struggle with orange/rust accents solo, but when they are balanced with white or cream, I'm all for it.
four: One thing I have year round is scented candles. I just LOVE them! I never have been able to get on the pumpkin spice trend though, so rather than get a scent that screams fall, I opted for these super cute copper containers. The best part is once the candle is finished, you can scoop out the remaining wax and throughly wash the container for a catch-all or trail mix bowl.
five: Autumn florals like wheat or ilex berries are a fun and different way to get some fall indoors. Don't get me wrong, I like pumpkins too, especially the mini white ones, but for some other details, wheat filled mason jars or tall ilex berry filled vases can make a great statement.
six: Throwing on a cozy robe on a cool fall morning to watch football on the couch or read a book with some coffee is the best! I am really loving this oatmeal colored, cotton one from Ugg. | 2019-04-19T02:28:55 | https://beyondtheclock.weebly.com/decor/archives/09-2018 |
Learn how the Friend magazine can help your family understand a different sensitive topic each month.
Children learn early to group people by similarities and differences. We can help children learn that all types of people deserve respect—whether they are different culturally, physically, or in other ways. Here are a few ideas for starting the conversation.
A Latter-day Saint boy visits a Buddhist temple with his family and learns about respecting other religions and cultures. Page 6 includes an activity idea for using this story for family night. What beautiful things do you notice in other religions or cultures? Page 38 follows a similar theme, featuring a Latter-day Saint girl with a Catholic friend.
This story is about a girl who befriends a new classmate who is being picked on. During family night, you could role-play standing up for people in different situations. Does anyone at school or church need your family’s extra kindness?
Jesus Christ is a perfect example of treating others with kindness. Read this story and talk about other times Jesus showed love. How can you follow Jesus’s example this week? If you haven’t done so already, help your child send the Friend a heart with an act of love written on it. The magazine is collecting them until October 2017!
Church should be a haven, but sometimes meanness and bullying still happens there. Talk with your children to see what their Primary experiences are like. Are there ways they can be more kind? Is there anything they need your help with?
Christ’s teachings (Matthew 22:37–40): Jesus told us to “love thy neighbour as thyself” (verse 39). Talk about what this means. Can you think of different ways Jesus taught people to love one another?
We believe … (Articles of Faith 1:11): Memorize the eleventh article of faith as a family and clarify what the different words mean. Why do we believe in letting people worship how they want? What do we hope for in return?
King Benjamin’s teachings (Mosiah 2:17): When we treat other people with kindness and respect, who else are we showing love for?
Children of the Most High (Psalm 82:6): Each person is a child of God. For older children, you could talk about how every person on earth chose to follow Heavenly Father’s plan in the pre-earth life. | 2019-04-22T02:29:01 | https://www.lds.org/study/ensign/2017/09/respecting-others?lang=eng |
A man was walking along a California beach and found a bottle. When he polished and opened it a genie appeared and said, "For your kindness I will grant you one wish."
The man looked across the ocean and said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm afraid of flying and sailing. So I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii."
The genie considered this and said, "No, I don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved with the pilings needed to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask."
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, "There is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes them tick?"
The genie paused for a few moments and said, "So, do you want two lanes or four?" | 2019-04-19T11:27:43 | http://www.lyndonperrywriter.com/2006/02/wednesday-open-post-and-hawaiian-joke.html |

In her New Yorker story, Ringwald wrote: “In that article, the head of a major studio—and, incidentally, someone who claims himself to be horrified by the Harvey allegations—was quoted as saying, ‘I wouldn’t know (Molly Ringwald) if she sat on my face.’ I was 24 at the time. Maybe he was misquoted. If he ever sent a note of apology, it must have gotten lost in the mail.”. On Tuesday night, Katzenberg issued a statement denying he ever made that comment, Vanity Fair reported: “That Molly Ringwald had to read those words attributed to me and believe I said them is horrifying, mortifying and embarrassing to me. Anyone who knows me now or back then knows I do not use language like that as a matter of course, or tolerate it. Ms. Ringwald, 22 years too late, I am deeply, deeply sorry.”.
After the sessions ended, everyone came together to vote electronically on which issue would be worked on in the coming year, “Hidden Gems, Hidden Opportunities” won by a narrow margin over “What’s in it for us?” “As a result, the President’s Council will partner with community leaders to increase connection and collaboration and create a plan to spread the ballet shoes ballerina girl slippers cute pink ballet pink bow dance digital design applique for machine embroidery. included 8 word about resources available in North San Mateo County over the coming year,” wrote Fitzpatrick..

A House committee is receiving significant attention for approving an amendment requiring women to register for the draft, but the same Republican-controlled panel incorporated early Thursday morning into a major defense spending bill a measure that would undermine President Obama’s executive order prohibiting anti-LGBT workplace discrimination among federal contractors.
The amendment, introduced by freshman Rep. Steve Russell (R-Okla.), would require the federal government when contracting with religious organizations to afford them exemptions consistent with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the American with Disabilities Act. Since neither of those laws prohibit anti-LGBT bias, the amendment would enable religious organizations doing business with the U.S. government to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The amendment provides an exemption for “any religious corporation, religious association, religious educational institution or religious society” contracting with the U.S. government. All of those terms are undefined in the amendment, but the lack of definition for “religious corporation” could allow courts to construe the term broadly to any federal contractor — not just religious organizations — in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2014 decision in the Hobby Lobby case.
The House Armed Services Committee approved the measure by a largely party-line 33-29 vote, including it as part of the House version of the fiscal year 2017 defense authorization bill. Reps. Joe Heck (R-Nev.) and Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.) joined Democrats in voting against the amendment.
The committee also reported out the full legislation to the House floor, but when the Republican leadership will take it up is unknown. The next opportunity to remove the amendment will be through a floor amendment when the full House considers the measure, but the House Rules Committee would first have to approve the measure, which would be challenging because the panel is stacked heavily in favor of Republicans. If not a House floor vote, the next opportunity to remove the measure will be the conference committee when the House and Senate lawmakers hammer out the different versions of their legislation.
David Stacy, government affairs director for the Human Rights Campaign, condemned the measure in the aftermath of the committee vote.
Jeff Tiller, a White House spokesperson, said the administration opposes “attempts to roll back non-discrimination protections for LGBT workers” in response to an inquiry over whether President Obama would veto the defense bill over the language.
But the Russell amendment wasn’t the only measure approved the committee approved as part of the defense spending bill relevant to LGBT people. The panel approved by unanimous vote in an en bloc package another measure introduced by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) enabling transgender veterans to change their name on discharge documents.
Under current policy, transgender veterans who change their name to reflect their gender identity after leaving the service cannot receive amended discharge documents, or what the Pentagon calls the DD-214, to reflect that name change (although the U.S. military has broken this policy in a handful of cases). Every time they use this paperwork to prove their military service, the inconsistency in names forces the veteran to disclose they’re transgender.
Speier’s amendment would allow a trans veteran to update their discharge papers to reflect their new name following a change in gender identity or expression.
Who was saying that the Kim Davis’ reaction to the SCOTUS decision was a flash in the pan?! The repercussions continue to emerge both on the state and now federal level. The struggle is far from over!
And that is all the more reason for LGBs and TQs to remain united in our common struggle for human and civil rights.
BS It is not about YOUR rights, it is about Destroying MY Rights, and the ethnic cleansing of Whites.
and the Rights of the American people. This is cultural Marxism and you are its tools.
I wonder what kind of businesses and groups donated to his campaign for Congress? Contractors? Banks?
Kudos to HRC for prioritizing resistance to this anti-LGBT bigotry.
Straw man argument, and a diversion from the truth by a Cultural Marxist. Nothing of what you say is relevant.
Congress has never upheld the First Amendment rights of LGBT Americans.
Gender identity illness is part of Cultural Marxism. | 2019-04-19T12:31:33 | https://www.washingtonblade.com/2016/04/28/house-panel-oks-religious-freedom-measure-against-obama-lgbt-order/ |

Sounds like someone could use a weekend away, both to rest the mind and the tonsils.
that's the worst. i have dreams like this too sometimes. how do we make them stop?
I think you dreamed that Alice and Hal were gone because Alice disappeared for a few seconds at McDonalds and we didn't know where she was. Do you remember that? It was a bit scary. I think it made an impression on you and just popped in your head as a random dream. BUT, I do know what you mean and I am glad your sore throat went away. Hope it doesn't come back. Yes, I am up late. I think it's time for bed. Love you.
I am glad you're feeling better. Sweet sleep tonight.
That last picture is heartbreakingly wonderful. The loneliness inside your head can be so overwhelming sometimes. Loving you today.
While the nightmare about our kids can be so unbelievably hard to shake, it's those daily moments -- the ones you can't explain to anyone, not even your spouse, that seem to build up the most to me. Sometimes it feels like I live a completely separate life from my husband -- even as hard as we try to keep ourselves together, all the times even in exhaustion that we force ourselves to converse about the day -- you just can't communicate all of it. And it feels like that's what I want the most -- for him to understand ALL of it. The weight of every single second of it.
I think you just hit on the root of a mother's loneliness. That vague feeling that I've never been able to describe.
On a bright note...t's almost spring! Hopefully the sunshine and warmer air will help to lighten moods and hearts. I know I desperately need it and am looking forward to it.
I had strep throat this week. And I still can't swallow without wincing.
I hate those dreams. And I often feel both lonely and the need to be left alone. Weird.
Yeah for answered prayers, and boo to bad dreams! I have dreams where I wake up furious with my husband. It's always hard because the emotional response is so real, but he's done nothing. Haha! He just laughs at me.
I loathe the "nightmare sickness" and I know exactly what you are talking about.
i totally get the dream sickness. it's this vague unsettled feeling that's tethered to my thoughts the whole rest of the day, and I can't ever shake it. even if it's not that bad a dream, it just feels like being followed by something weird and shadowy.
thank you for always posting such thoughtful and REAL stories. it's really comforting to know other people think this way too.
I am lonely a lot. Not alone in the physical sense, I have many great friends.
But more alone in my thoughts that I think others might not understand, or I am too insecure to share.
I don't say this to butter you up, but your posts are some of my favorites reads, like...ever.
Can relate fully, 100% never knew how to write it or get it out but I think you did my mind justice.
Blech! I hate weird dreams and they ARE so isolating!! But, I think that saying them out loud helps so much, it diffuses their power. Anyway bummer. And glad you feel better!!
oh, for the understanding and validation. I'm trying more and more to turn inward but also elsewhere for that. like you did with the tonsils.
glad you're feeling better. miss you and our chats.
Oh, reading this I totally understand what you're saying. Some days I find the thought that we are all sort of alone in our thoughts, like the million little fleeting ones that pass us by, quite lonely.... but then I find a strange comfort that other people are having these little blips of thoughts too. Its a curious thing!
don't you love it when you pray for something, and your prayer is answered? in way that's noticeable and tangible and immediately evident? also, i hate those dreams, where you can't move when you wake up the fear is so paralyzing. i know those dreams and hate them, too. i wish i could come over and watch the kids and buy you and the hubs a night alone. just to be.
Yeah, I get it. Both the nightmare sickness and just wanting someone to know you feel crappy and tired. I wish you rest and health and sweet, sweet dreams.
So glad the sickness stayed away! | 2019-04-20T14:14:44 | http://www.swonderland.net/2011/03/or-whatever.html |

What is a Financial Ecosystem?
Billions of dollars are lost annually due to the inadequate adoption of fintech technology for financial transactions management whereby mismanaged, aging receivables quickly turn revenues into bad debt and ultimately into losses. The primary reason for this outcome is the lack of a single enterprise solution that can manage every aspect of the revenue management life cycle process across all business units in unison.
Traditional platforms are stand-alone, independent systems that don't share common technology & can’t communicate dynamically with one another, leaving business units separated. This leaves entities with old, stale financial data, making it impossible to both manage aging receivables & avoid uncollectable debt. A Financial Ecosystem resolves this problem. A Financial Ecosystem is a battery of highly sophisticated proprietary fintech systems & solutions that consolidate into one single Financial Platform across your enterprise. HD™ 2.0 | Enterprise Financial Ecosystem® is that end-to-end financial platform that manages your revenues and receivables, while safeguarding bad debt exposure.

LMS can systematically control financial screen navigation, input/output, verbose messaging and database interactions from any internal or external system or framework.
Now, when new applications for underwriting are introduced, they are first “interrogated” by the LMS business rules engine, which then gives a “thumbs up, thumbs down” decision.
This approach enables organizations to evaluate the application against multiple internal or external data sources and predict which applications should be manually reviewed, versus those that are most expected to contain appropriate information for automatic underwriting.
Automation of manual procedures and calculations: By utilizing an automated analytic-based underwriting system, the consistency, quality and capacity of underwriting could be dramatically improved, allowing underwriters to focus on the exceptions.
Control by business users: Rules are designed in an easy-to-understand visual Visio-like workflow designer, enabling the business experts— rather than technical staff—to control and automate procedures and policies.
Faster response to change: Time-to-market for business logic changes are reduced from weeks and months to days or hours. Systems can be updated while in production with no down time and no need for IT resources.
Increased reliability and auditability: A centralized workflow decisioning rules repository provides consistent execution of business policies that are easy to manage and visually easy to audit.
HD™ 2.0 | LMS® business rules engine allows for the development and rapid deployment of complex credit granting business rules, so your organization can make better decisions across the Revenue Life Cycle.

The most sought after, Android Marshmallow update has been finally rolled out by Google. This update is often marked as Android version 6.0. Whether you are waiting for latest Android or Google version, you might be excited to know what the new Marshmallow update is carrying for you. It cannot be termed as dramatic leap, but there are still numerous useful features that can look forward as an upgrade to the previous version.
1) Google Now on Tap: It is the biggest new feature integrated that you can activate by pressing the home button for a long. It’s designed with a vision to provide a better understanding of the context so that songs, movies and venues get automatically identified and you will get a sorted list of relevant links.
2) USB Type-C Support: Want your Android device to sprout as USB Type-C? Then you have to wait for Marshmallow upgrade that came with the latest code update to provide support for the next-gen connector. Well if you heard this for the first time, you should know that it provides faster charging, data transfer and advanced multitasking and most significantly, reversible cables. You can’t call it a bad upgrade, right?
3) Permission-Management Became Easy: Marshmallow came up with an iOS-like approach for transparent and granular app permissions. They will be asked only as and when required rather than all at once while installing. This will help you have a detailed idea of what’s happening at every instant.
4) Security with Fingerprints: Android 6.0 Marshmallow is supported with fingerprints sensors for added security, which is powered by the core OS itself. With the advanced security-enabled interface, you can access all your applications with fingerprint authorisation.
5) Intuitive Volume Management: The changes in volume settings that were introduced in Lollipop for more flexibility actually turned up as confusion. All this mess is sorted in the Marshmallow. You can now customise the audible alerts depending upon your preferences.
6) Offer Your Device Power of Doze: Marshmallow came away with a new battery management trick i.e. Doze. It automatically puts your device in airplane mode whenever it is lying idle. It implies that Doze can sense the inactive time of your device and can help save the battery usage by putting it on power-saving mode without needing you to tap on your device’s settings.
7) Infuse Web Into Your Apps: Chrome custom tabs in Marshmallow makes it quite easy for apps to show websites without any need to switch over to a full chrome app. You can consider it as an app branded version of chrome that instantly displays links on which you tap. This means you can access all the standard features of the chrome without opening up an individual web viewer.
8) Accurate Text Selection: Picking up the exact words or phrases highlighted on the screen has become easier with Android Marshmallow. It is helpful for those who are struggling with small screens. Forget about wasting time to fiddle about getting the absolute phrases or words that you want to share with your connections.
9) Monitor Memory Usage Precisely: Android Marshmallow allows getting a brief detail about the device’s memory state. You can keep a track of average memory usage of your device and can determine the apps that are eating the biggest slice of the resources your system have.
10) Sharing Recently-Used Apps: You can now easily reach the apps that you use most as the Android Marshmallow has an ability to understand user and the apps you use most recent. If you’re active Facebook user, then it will appear first in the list whenever you will tap on share menu. In short, it is much easier to reach out the apps that you use most often.
It would not be wrong to say that Marshmallow has a bagful of surprises for android users. More you will explore; more you will get out of it.

CDI services allow beans to be generally injected into another application using JSR 330, Dependency Injection for Java specification. The annotation @Inject part of JSR 330 allows beans to be injected. This annotation helps to inject any object for which the container provides the required resource.
CDI services come with other interesting features like events, interceptors, decorators etc. Since the discussion on these are beyond the scope of this article, readers are requested to learn more about CDI services from the JSR 299 and other articles which focus completely on the CDI services.
EJB 3.0 specification, the version currently in use, has seen higher adoption rate and was very well received by the community because of its simplicity and ease of development. The new specification that was released in November 2009, EJB 3.1, makes development even simpler.
EJB 3.0 made the developer life easier by removing home interface and introducing annotations. The next release makes life even easier by making the business interfaces also optional. This makes the EJBs look very similar to a normal POJO.
Addition of a new type of bean, Singleton bean is introduced in this release. The primary goal of introducing singleton beans is to share the application wide shared data and to support concurrent access. With this, the EJB specification has provided a flexible concurrent option.
Until now, EJB components are placed in a separate JAR file and the file will be packaged along with WAR file in an EAR file. One of the major requirements of the new specification is providing an option to package EJBs in the WAR file itself, thus making EJBs to be available as part of the Web application with all required support for transactions and security. The new specification allows EJBs to be placed in the same folder where the Web component classes (Servlets) are placed, under WEB-INFclasses directory of a WAR file.
Apart from these, the new release of the specification introduces several other interesting features like asynchronous session bean, running EJBs in Java SE environment and the concept of EJB Lite.
EJB provides a powerful support for transactions. Transactional attributes can be defined using annotations thanks to the "Configuration by Exception" model adopted from Java EE 5 Platform. Annotations play a major role in simplifying and making the entire suite of specifications light.
EJBs are really simple and powerful after adopting the POJO model. Even though it provided a good support for transactions and security, one particular place where it lacked was the direct usage of it with the JavaServer Faces application. In JSF application, there was a need to create managed beans separately in spite of EJB being so powerful. On the other hand, simply beans are not powerful. They have to be executed under some contexts. CDI services really help in bridging the gap between the two; it helps in EJB getting directly exposed to JSF applications. In this scenario, CDI becomes the complementary technology for EJB 3.1 specification in the Java EE 6 platform.
In enterprise applications using EJBs, CDI services allow enterprise beans to be injected as Managed Beans with the @Inject annotation by removing @EJB annotation. The replacement of @Inject annotation provides all the benefits of CDI for the enterprise beans like dependency injection, events, interceptors, stereotypes. Thus using @Inject annotations, enterprise beans can be easily transformed to managed beans.
This transformation of enterprise bean to a managed bean provides lot of benefits for the Web tier components and applications. The beans are now visible to the Java Server Pages; they can be accessed using the Expression Language (EL). The class SQBean is now visible to JSP, JSF expressions. The @Named annotation is used for associating a name with the managed bean, if none specified, by default the name will be the name of the bean with the first letter in the lowercase. This facilitates the SQBean to be accessed directly by the EL in JSF pages without any additional configuration.
As mentioned earlier, CDI also believes in convention over configuration, and hence doesn't require any additional XML files for configuration; annotations are sufficient. CDI helps to inject any kind of object be it a class or an interface, only the type of the object being injected is checked. This is complement to the EJB model where the object to be injected is identified by a "String" name as against the type of the object being injected. CDI also to some extent supports identifying the injection object with string name, this time it is through its @Qualifier annotation.
At the time of specifying the injection point, qualifier helps in identifying the type of object being injected.
Annotations support makes convention over configuration more beneficial. XML configuration is not completely ruled out; it is still available as an "optional" feature through "beans.xml" configuration file. The injection object can be activated from the XML file. @Alternative annotation plays a major role in activation and deactivation of the injection points. Another feature which is interesting in CDI is event firing and observation which is again achieved through the methods and annotations.
CDI and EJB 3.1 make the perfect complementary technologies as EJB comes with good support for transactions, security and exiting features like interceptors and aspects. CDI provides additional power of dependency injection. The combination of the two provides a perfect synergy in the Web platform. CDI with EJB 3.1 makes the code lighter because they are simple POJO classes, when compared with plain POJOs or any other additional frameworks, the number of code written using CDI and EJB 3.1 is less. Frameworks will end up in either more classes or more configuration code, XML files. Both CDI and EJB 3.1 are part of Java EE 6 Platform - Web Profile, providing a good strategy for building Web applications which also results in reduced number of classes and code as compared to its earlier versions. So in future, the JCP could be more focusing on pushing aspects of transactions, security, aspects into CDI specification rather improving it on the EJB specifications.

Why Did Rouhani Say 'No' to Obama?
There’s nothing surprising about Iran’s actions this week because Khamenei still calls the shots.
It may not have been a flat-out rejection, but Iranian President Hassan Rouhani certainly surprised a lot of people by declining to meet with President Obama yesterday. We don't know anything approaching the whole story. Letters between the two, back-channel messages, and in all likelihood, secret conversations between representatives of the two countries have been going on for quite a while. The secret diplomacy has been conducted for decades, even though Rouhani was only recently elected.
So far, the plot of “hopes and expectations raised, then a slap in the face” follows the usual script. Just ask Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, both of whom believed they had reached agreement with the Iranian regime, a “grand bargain” that would put the two countries on the path to better relations, lift some American sanctions, and, in Bush's case, end Iranian uranium enrichment. At the last minute, Iran said “forget it.” Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and her top deputy, Nicholas Burns, had flown to New York in the fall of 2006 to welcome the Iranian diplomat Ali Larijani to the United Nations, where the Grand Bargain was to have been signed. But he never left Tehran. Clinton got a public rebuke from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, currently Rouhani's boss.
There is nothing particularly new or surprising in Iran's behavior this week. Khamenei, who is the ultimate authority in Tehran, hates the United States, and is not at all eager to reach an agreement with us unless it is a clear triumph for the Islamic Republic. That probably means the United States would lift all unilateral sanctions, accept Iran's “right” to enrich uranium, speed up our withdrawal from Afghanistan, and recognize Iran as the most important country in the region. It might also include American acceptance of the linkage between Syrian surrender of chemical weapons and Israeli surrender of nukes.
It isn't likely that any American president would agree to all that in exchange for Iranian promises to limit uranium enrichment and give greater access to UN inspectors of Iranian (non-military) nuclear facilities. To begin with, the United States can't deliver Israeli nuclear disarmament, so the sort of bargain that might satisfy the supreme leader isn't possible, at least for now (the Iranians, in declining Obama's invitation to talk, said this isn't the right moment). But that certainly does not mean that any and all negotiations are off the table. On the contrary, negotiations serve Iran's interests because they provide still more time for the regime to pursue its immediate ends: the clear victory of Bashar Assad in the Syrian War and the successful completion of the nuclear weapons program.
You can expect Foreign Minister Zarif to propose more negotiations when he sits with Secretary of State Kerry in a couple of days.
The Iranian “no” to Obama gives the supreme leader the personal and ideological satisfaction of humiliating yet another American president. After all, it was Obama who pursued Rouhani (after failing to engage Khamenei for more than four years), not the other way around.
Meanwhile, Rouhani continued his “charm offensive,” delivering a carefully crafted speech to the General Assembly insisting that he didn't want to do anything to worsen relations with the United States.
Even as he stuck his finger in Obama's eye.

Did y'all hear what Dabo Swinney said? Dabo and Nick have a disagreement about the Alabama/Clemson championship game.
Nick Saban, celebrating another #1 recruiting class this week, said the loss to Clemson was due to the absence of the "Alabama factor".
Dabo Swinney has a different idea about the outcome of the game. Swinney said "everyone wants to explain what happened to Alabama, how about Clemson just had the better team".
QB coach Brandon Streeter added "obviously Alabama is an unbelievable program, but we're the best one right now".
Sounds like Dabo and Nick will have something to talk about the next time they are at the lake at the same time. | 2019-04-19T07:20:45 | https://953thebear.com/nick-and-dabo-do-not-agree/ |

Wintry weather has left Dublin freezing in recent weeks, as snow, frost, and ice have become a regular sight around the city.
But that's all set to change today, when temperatures are finally set to rise and more mild conditions hit the capital.
Met Eireann says that highest temperatures will be between 8 or 9 degrees Celsius this Tuesday, on what will be a mostly cloudy and mainly dry day.
However, the warmer weather comes with a catch, as persistent rain is set to spread eastwards across Leinster this evening, and downpours will turn heavy at times.
Luckily that rain shouldn't last too long, with clear weather forecast from early on this evening as winds also begin to ease.
Overall, it will be mainly dry with clear spells tonight, but that means frost and icy patches will develop as lowest temperatures hit between -2 and +2 degrees Celsius - so don't put away the hot water bottle just yet! | 2019-04-19T06:53:31 | https://www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/dublin-weather-temperatures-finally-set-14129509 |
The roll back has been scheduled to occur on 30th November 2006, during the first half of the day.
We have been getting additional queries which we wish to address in this article.
What if i created a new account/character during this period?
After the roll back you can log into the account with the Userid & Password as you have been logging in with. The new characters created may not exist. You can simply just re-create a new character.
Will the password of my a3 account also roll back?
No, the password will remain the same as the current password. You can login normally using the userid and password that you have been using.
What if a bought a genuine item from seller? How do i get that?
If the item that you purchased was genuine, you can simply re-contact the character that you bought it from. As mentioned, your money would automatically be returned to you after the rollback and the item to the rightful owner.
Give a general shout that you wish to buy that item and see if the player gets in touch with you.
Please keep in mind that a lot of the items that were sold during this time were hacked items. The money that you spent will be returned with the rollback.
Roll back Failure? What next?
There is always a small chance that the roll back is not 100% or in some cases the roll back may not be possible entirely.
For those cases that do not get rolled back, we will look into addressing the cases manually. If the entire roll back procedure fails, please bear with us while we come up with a complete new solution to solve all issues. Also request you to understand that in the case of manual fixing of issues, it will take us sometime to finish addressing and fixing all issues. As the cases reported to us have been of very large numbers.
Note: All issues discussed are for gameplay between 17th november and today. | 2019-04-22T20:20:18 | https://www.a3india.com/news/39/rollback-date-and-more-faqs |
Can you easily describe your corporate culture? Is it a high-performance, positive place to work? What words would you use to describe the culture of your organization?
If those questions are challenging to answer or the words that come to mind are less than desirable, it may be time to create or revisit your organization’s values.
Shared values clearly articulate an organization’s commitments to each other and to the people they serve. Developing and adopting shared values increases the level of accountability for everyone in the organization. The further you share these values, the greater your accountability to them. Displaying your values says a lot about your organization, particularly to visitors. Sharing what you stand for and what your clients can expect when doing business with you makes a big impression on your audience.
✫ How do we want to treat each other?
✫ How do we want to treat our clients?
✫ What do we expect from ourselves?
✫ What words do we want our clients to use when describing our organization and our team?
This doesn’t have to be a complex exercise resulting in a massive document. Effective team values are short, sweet and memorable. When I worked for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee, we had a simple set of values that were invaluable to managing a complex project with multifaceted work teams.
Some of my most fun and rewarding work is helping workplace teams develop, describe and adopt their core values. Virtually every workshop is filled with excitement and positivity as colleagues commit to working better together. Core values can be the tool that inspires people to improve, can be a guideline for decision-making (e.g. Does this decision reflect our values?) and provides a framework for accountability and conflict resolution.
Most importantly, it strengthens your team. Practicing shared values improves team spirit and performance, reduces workplace conflict and reflects an organization committed to excellence, honesty and mutual respect — in other words, a culture that rocks inside and out. And that’s something worth sharing. | 2019-04-24T12:54:01 | http://maureendouglas.com/how-to-rock-your-corporate-culture/ |

9He went on to another place, and entered their synagogue. 10A man was there with a withered arm, and they asked Jesus, 'Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?' (Their aim was to frame a charge against him.) 11But he said to them, 'Suppose you had one sheep, which fell into a ditch on the Sabbath; is there one of you who would not catch hold of it and lift it out? 12And surely a man is worth far more than a sheep! It is therefore permitted to do good on the Sabbath.' 13Turning to the man he said, 'Stretch out your arm.' He stretched it out, and it was made sound again like the other. 14But the Pharisees, on leaving the synagogue, laid a plot to do away with him.
6On another Sabbath he had gone to synagogue and was teaching. There happened to be a man in the congregation whose right arm was withered; 7and the lawyers and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether Jesus would cure him on the Sabbath, so that they could find a charge to bring against him. 8But he knew what was in their minds and said to the man with the withered arm, 'Get up and stand out here.' So he got up and stood there. 9Then Jesus said to them, 'I put the question to you: is it permitted to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?' 10He looked round at them all and then said to the man, 'Stretch out your arm.' He did so, and his arm was restored. 11But they were beside themselves with anger, and began to discuss among themselves what they could do to Jesus. | 2019-04-23T14:12:57 | http://www.katapi.org.uk/katapiNSBunix/Psgs/versionsByKFmToPP.php?KFm=301012009.00&KTo=301012014.00&KFm1=302003001.00&KTo1=302003006.00&KFm2=303006006.00&KTo2=303006011.00&version=NEB |

Our national obsession with the NFL and sports in general demonstrates key components of public sphere theory and key criticisms as well. On one hand, public discussion surrounding the NFL can show the worst of the internet and public discourse – hateful and often racists comments abound in public discussion boards and fandom often limits the public’s ability to objectively discuss controversies regarding their favorite teams. And while there are fans of all genders, the discussion and tropes of the genre often track along hyper masculine lines.
Yet, football has also served as a place where the public can deliberate and understand important societal issues. Think of discussions regarding the name of the Washington football team, “spygate” and “deflategate,” violence against women, mental health and corporate responsibility. There are NFL apologists, social justice activists and a variety of discussants all competing for public attention. Along the lines of Fraser, heterogeneous publics have the ability to determine what is “political” through their discussions. The public sphere of NFL fandom is one of the spaces and is conjoined to other spheres.
As Sunstein says, there exists only a few days of national importance in America – and the Super Bowl draws more attention than the national holidays that have become “mere days off from work.” Football often provides a common language for different people to engage in and a ritual to participate in. “Watching the game together” perhaps remains one of the most significant social events in a highly individualistic society.
Our national obsession with football, like many things in our postmodern society, presents multiple contradictions for those concerned with the health of our democracy. It’s a common experience for us but also one utterly dominated by corporate interests. It creates lifelong memories and associations but also quickly destroys and discards the bodies (often black) it needs to power the enterprise.
Communicators and philosophers cannot dismiss the phenomenon when deliberations about power, race and violence are happening offline and online. In many ways, this phenomenon offers some lessons for the maintenance of democracy. There is no barrier to participation other than fandom. Contrast this to the “political” sphere where non-expert opinions are quickly mocked and dismissed and the “bracketing of social position” seems impossible. Yet there also must be a contextualizing of the space and connecting of the energy devoted to discussion towards productive political endeavors.
The modern public sphere as understood by Peter Dahlgren (2005) functions much closer to a ““a constellation of communicative spaces in society that permit the circulation of information, ideas, debates— ideally in an unfettered manner—and also the formation of political will (i.e., public opinion)” (148).” Dahlgren argues the public sphere concept is being destabilized along multiple vectors – the increasing (or rather legitimation) status of heterogeneous groups, non-political uses of the sphere (or rather the opening up of private spaces to political deliberation) and the blurring of national projects (what could be said of an international public sphere/s?).
Fraser (1990) preceded Dahlgren in her critique of the Habermasian public sphere. She additionally approximated what the public sphere (could) look like in actually existing democracy. She posits the ideal utopic public sphere concept makes four fundamental assumptions; 1. participants will exchange ideas and debate each other as though they are equals, 2. multiple publics are a move away from a functioning democracy, 3. A clear divide between public and private issues is present and 4. civil society (the public) is clearly divorced from the state. From these four assumptions, Fraser constructs a public sphere concept more viable in a heterogeneous society. Her contribution here is the idea of subaltern counterpublics, spaces in which non-dominant, oppressed groups can also come together and deliberate matters. She argues the overarching public sphere must be found at the nexus of the constellation of multiple spheres.
My own work challenges the forces of political assimilation U.S. Latinos undergo in order to participate in the American conception of the public sphere. Indeed, there are significant interactional barriers (see Dahlgren) to full participation including language, perceptions of foreignness (Chavez in the Latino Threat Narrative) and the limiting of debate to “citizens” (Amaya in Citizenship Excess). U.S Latinos form multiple counter publics in the United States - Spanish language journalism primary among them. However despite the existence of these counter publics, the hierarchal positioning of the “true” public sphere pressures U.S. Latinos to abandon their spaces (through discursive formations of internalized racism and the delegitimization of Spanish) for the mainstream.

Grace Smarsh | Got sounds? Let's investigate!
Welcome! I am a PhD candidate at Texas A&M University, although I’ve spent a good amount of time living in Tanzania conducting my doctoral research. I am a member of the Smotherman lab, focusing on the behavioral ecology, evolution, and acoustics of singing in the heart-nosed bat, Cardioderma cor. I have been investigating the territorial behavior of this species in Tanzania in the Kilimanjaro Region.
More generally, I am interested in the intersection of acoustics, behavior, and spatial ecology in animals. I have been working in Chiroptera as bats offer many opportunities to investigate the function of low frequency repertoires in inter-individual or inter-group spacing and foraging behavior. However, I am interested in both basic research questions related to sensory ecology as well as applied conservation research in a variety of animals.
I am an outdoorsy person who has enjoyed hiking, camping, and kayaking as a part of work. I find living in different countries and working with people from other cultural backgrounds stimulating and an exciting challenge. I personally like adding to my own linguistic repertoire and have really enjoyed learning Kiswahili in the last few years. Since finishing fieldwork, I’ve been working on coding in MATLAB for signal processing, data analysis, and writing. Feel free to explore my current and past research projects, and community outreach involvement on the other pages in this site. Karibu tena! | 2019-04-23T23:59:46 | http://gracesmarsh.com/ |

Summary: A King’s Ransom is the continuation of Penman’s novel Lionheart. The first book ends as Richard the Lionheart, King of England attempts to return home from battle in the Holy Land, but is captured along the way. His mother, Queen Eleanor, then raises the funds to pay her son’s ransom. The second book picks up upon Richard’s release and follows through to his death.
Dream come true: Meeting my favorite and most influential author, Sharon Kay Penman!
I have been a fan of Sharon Kay Penman’s novels since before there was Facebook, and before every author had a blog. If you’d have told me then that thanks to social media I would one day not only meet the author that inspired me to choose history as a college major, but that she would hand me a cupcake for coming to her book reading, I would not have believed you. But it happened!
When I left for college I had picked up and started the first book in Ms. Penman’s series about England’s Plantagenet Dynasty. (The most famous of which were King Richard the Lionheart and King John. You probably recognize them from the story of Robin Hood?) I was so enthralled by the story that I continued through the rest of the series. The character, or more accurately, historical figure, that intrigued me the most, however, is Richard and John’s mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. This woman was queen of both France and then England. As Penman describes her, this woman that lived during a time when men held all the power often influenced the decisions of state made by the men in her life. For example, each of her husbands in turn fought battles to regain the lands of Aquitaine, which she felt belonged to her by right. And during her 16 year house arrest instituted by her second husband, Henry II, while he found a mistress, and stubbornly refused to share power by granting lands to his sons, is it any wonder she was able to greatly influence the actions of her sons? Eleanor inspired her sons to revolt against their father. Again, her influence scarred the country side. I was absorbed by the idea that bedroom talk between a man and a woman could lay waste to a countryside. As I waded through options to major in, I found myself drawn to the discipline of History so that I could further explore the idea of the passions of men and women having further reaching implications.
I thought one day I might send a babbling fan letter to Ms. Penman explaining how much she has influenced my path in life, how she sparked my interest in history, and how fascinating I find her characters. But I never sent it. I was too shy.
Majoring in history meant reading more books per night than is humanly possible, and between the reading and paper writing I hardly had any free time. Then graduation meant I didn’t have to pick up another book if I didn’t want to! So it took me years to work through Ms. Penman’s series. It was in that time that Facebook showed up, became popular, then blogs… By the time I was on the search for more of Ms. Penman’s books, she had a website, and a blog, and a Facebook Fan Club Page. I visited her website to find out which book came next and happened upon her blog. She was running a giveaway for a signed book and all I had to do was leave a comment. So I did! I thanked her for her writing and told her how much it influenced me! And then the MOST AMAZING THING happened. SHE RESPONDED! I couldn’t believe it. I told everyone I knew, after picking myself up off the floor.
When I found Ms. Penman’s blog post describing the trip she had led to Europe, through Academic Travel Abroad, exploring sites related to Eleanor, I decided I would one day take that tour and meet my favorite author. I talked of nothing else while I read her newest books. My poor, suffering, boyfriend endured it like a champ. Though wasn’t quite ready to throw in the money to join me.
And then, much to my amazement, I discovered that Ms. Penman would be doing a book tour for her latest book and would be stopping in Seattle! I could fly to Seattle for a weekend! It’s only a two hour flight. I was ACTUALLY going to meet Sharon Kay Penman. My indulgent boyfriend agreed to accompany me, since Seattle is quite a bit closer than Europe. Having joined the Sharon Kay Penman Fan Club Page on Facebook, I posted that I was coming from Alaska to hear the book talk and I couldn’t be more excited!
I made sure we showed up early at the bookstore. I did NOT want to be late for this. We were the first ones there. My boyfriend asked if I’d like to sit in the front row. Nope. I didn’t want to be THAT fan. I subtly sat in row 3 hoping not to look embarrassingly eager. Eventually the seats filled, Ms. Penman arrived, and I grinned goofily from ear to ear. I was so happy to be there. Ms. Penman announced that before she started her reading she had one order of business. There were two people she had noticed posts from on the Facebook Fan Club page that were coming from so far away to hear her talk that she felt obliged to humbly thank them in some way. One from Victoria, Canada and one from Alaska. She couldn’t mean me! And then I heard my name! She asked us to come up and accept her thanks by way of a cupcake! I froze in my seat, my face flushed red. Was this happening? Pinch me! My boyfriend had to push me forward. Not only did I get to meet my favorite author, get my book signed, but she gave me a cupcake! She really is the best author ever. I hope someday I’m able to make somebody’s day like she made mine that day!
I still hope to take her tour of Eleanor sites next time it’s offered. Until then I shall be re-reading her books from the beginning. Again.
If you read this, which I’m almost certain you will, please accept this as the letter I never sent. I’m so glad I got to meet you! And I hope to travel with you someday!
if you’d like a book suggestion, I recommend starting with When Christ and His Saints Slept. It also happens to be my favorite. I’ve read it over and over. I hope you love it as much as I do.
P.S. The cupcake was almost too pretty to eat, but I later split it with my boyfriend back at the hotel. It will forever be the best cupcake ever.
Have you ever met your favorite author? Have you read any of Sharon Kay Penman’s novels? Are you a historical fiction fan? Let’s discuss in the comments below! I’d also love suggestions for other medieval historical fiction books!
FABULOUS story! Sharon really is one of a kind! I only discovered her books 2 1/2 years ago. I started reading Lionheart in June 2013 after a friend had recommended Sharon’s books to me several times… When I saw she had one just coming out on Coeur de Lion (son of my absolute most favorite historical figure EVER – since I was 12 or so – Aliénor d’Aquitaine), I figured that would be a good place to start. So I downloaded it on my Kindle… and spent the next 6 months or so reading nothing but Sharon’s books! :p Starting with When Christ and his Saints slept, all the way to the Justin de Quincy novels. I finished what I thought was the last one while watching over my mom in hospital, and I mentioned on the FB fan page that I was really looking forward to her next books: Ransom and a new Justin de Quincy novel in Spring 2014. Then Sharon surprised me by answer that the Justin novel I was mentioning was already published, just not in the UK, so not available for me to get in Europe! And the most amazing thing happened, she asked me to send her an e-mail with my postal address… and a few days before Christmas a dedicated copy of Prince of Darkness arrived in my mailbox!!! It brought tears to my eyes, and a huge smile on my mom’s face when I told her about it that evening in the hospital.
If you’d like to read my take on Sharon’s books, please stop by my blog for a visit!!!
That’s a great story! I always wished a signed copy of Saints would show up in the mail! I still haven’t read the last Justin novel so I would’t complain if that showed up in the mail!
Please do visit the blog from time to time! I joined a Facebook group called Part Time Travel Bloggers for those of us that have full time jobs but also enjoy travel blogging. Now I don’t feel quite so bad about not being able to travel and write as much as I’d like!
I discovered Sharon’s books in 2007 quite by accident while browsing on Amazon for a “dragon” themed book? Eight years later I’ve been to Wales 10? times, have done the two Academic Travel trips with Sharon in 2011 and 2013. To say I’m a groupie is a huge understatement! I had tried to get to a book signing for 4 years with no luck, so to be able to meet her in person and call her my friend is always surreal. She quite literally changed my life. My late husband would always say that Here Be Dragons was the moat expensive book I ever bought, and living in Alaska was quite a challenge for you! ☺ Congrats!
Wow! That’s really cool that you got to go on both trips!! I hope I can do one of those one day!
Sarah, I can’t tell you how much love this post. Thanks for writing it!
What great story! I too gushed over my love of Sharon and her books and got to MEET her. It was one of the most fantastic days of my life. Gotta love Facebook JUST for that! I was excited, I wrote a blog post about it as well. Sharon is such an inspiration. I’m so excited you got to meet her. | 2019-04-25T14:55:24 | https://asuitcasefullofbooks.com/meeting-sharon-penman/ |

The American Automobile Association warned that your commute to celebrate Thanksgiving could take as much as four times longer than normal over the holiday week.
In a press release put out by AAA earlier this month, it projected that about 54.3 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more this Thanksgiving.
If those predictions turn out to be correct, the number of long-distance travelers will be a high point not seen in more than a dozen years.
“Consumers have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season: higher wages, more disposable income and rising levels of household wealth,” Bill Sutherland, AAA Travel senior vice president, said in the organization’s statement.
AAA used data from global mobility analytics company INRIX to warn its members which cities would be the most difficult to travel in.
Boston, San Francisco and New York City are expected to the most congested cities in the United States, with delays up to four hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the report.
AAA expects the early evenings will be the most congested time for travelers during the week.
“Thanksgiving is one of the busiest holidays for road trips, and this year will be no different,” said INRIX transportation analyst Trevor Reed.
Will you be traveling this Thanksgiving holiday?
Conversely, AAA predicted that the best days to travel would be Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which typically fall between the time that holiday travelers arrive and depart their Thanksgiving destinations.
According to AAA’s report, the worst delays will be between 5.30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
NBC reported an estimated 29 million people flew during the 12-day Thanksgiving travel period last year, and a record 30.6 million are expected to travel that way this year.
Airports in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are expected to have the worst delays, which could surpass an hour and a half, according to AAA.
Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to see airport security at its most crowded.
NBC urged those planning any kind of travel to leave early and prepare their carry-on bags for what one can expect in a security checkpoint.
Additional tips for air travelers: Transfer small times — such as wallets, phone and keys — to your carry-on before you reach security.
Wear shoes or boots that can be quickly taken off and put back on, and review the rules of airport security if you’re an infrequent traveler.
Download the apps for the airline and airport that you’re traveling through in advance, so that you can receive alerts for updates on your flights, and always bring extra cash, snacks and patience — and of course, don’t forget your sense of humor. | 2019-04-22T17:11:11 | https://www.westernjournal.com/aaa-warning-thanksgiving-traffic/ |
With the development of the Internet in recent decades, more and more we use the word "cloud" on daily basis.

The sinuous, short-haired yaras are not native to Makeb. When a transport ship carrying the first settlers crash-landed three hundred years ago, a breeding pair of pedigree yaras in the cargo hold managed to escape and quickly adapted to Makeb's wilderness.
Yaras are highly adept swimmers, either hunting fish or lurking underwater to ambush their prey. Recent changes in Makeb's climate have driven them onto land, where they have found sentients to be a perfectly acceptable meal. There is some talk of domesticating the yaras, but centuries of running wild have made them a dangerous prospect as pets. | 2019-04-25T13:01:37 | https://swtor.jedipedia.net/en/npc/adolescent-yara |
Wow. The nine most dreaded words any employee ever may wish to hear. Questions run via your mind like, “What does someone do?” and “How’s my niece going to react to this?” It is final, he makes it clear. No amount of begging or pleading would make it very much better.

This baked cheesecake recipe doesn’t contain any cheese like ordinary recipes I used unsweetened coconut yoghurt. This makes the cheesecake much lighter and tastier.
Break the biscuit and smash it till it powders completely then add the melted butter and mix well. Place them in a tray of your choice, I used cupcake tray. Bake for 5 minutes in a preheated oven at 450*c.
In a bowl, add the yoghurt, powdered milk, sugar and vanilla powder and mix. Take out the tray with the biscuit crumbles from the oven and add the mix then bake for 10 minutes.
Let the cake cool down then add the topping of your choice. | 2019-04-25T08:34:00 | https://raneemscravings.com/2018/02/13/valentines-special-part-2/ |

This summer, Centraal Museum presents Jessica Stockholder: Stuff Matters. Jessica Stockholder (USA 1959) came to fame in the early 1990s with colourful and picturesque as well as monumental installations. In her work, Stockholder combines all sorts of everyday items – ranging from umbrellas and cushions to furniture and lamps – to form an overwhelming composition. Through her playful manipulation of form and colour, she is able to transform the entire room.
With her open-minded approach to the world, Stockholder aims to disrupt our usual view of the items and materials that surround us daily, and to subvert our notions regarding what’s worthwhile and worthless.
In this exhibition, Jessica Stockholder acts as both artist and curator. In addition to a retrospective of her oeuvre, she applies her unique perspective to select objects from the museum’s various collections. The exhibition Jessica Stockholder: Stuff Matters will run from 19 April to 1 September 2019. | 2019-04-19T22:49:06 | https://www.1301pe.com/news/2019/4/19/jessica-stockholder-stuff-matters |

...That I wouldn't have enough yarn with me while on vacation. I stowed away 2 sock projects, a sweater project, and the beginnings of a cape in my luggage. I am by no means a fast knitter in any way, so I have no idea why I thought I would be able to knit up all those projects in a week and why I was starting to worry that I would have nothing to knit! But just to be sure I made it to the LYS (that's "local yarn store" for you non-knitters out there) here in the Okanagan as soon as I could (just to check out their selection...*ahem*) and ended up walking away with all this. I'm starting to think I have a yarn problem here. I'm just glad that Brett understands my addiction, and the fact that there are worst things that I could be addicted to.
My name is Melissa, and I'm a yarn-aholic.
It's OK, I do too. Enjoy your week away! | 2019-04-21T12:17:37 | http://www.misocraftyknits.com/2010/08/and-i-was-worried.html |
In the idyllic setting of the French Riviera, the city of Cannes holds the Cannes Festival every year in May. A jury of professionals and artists gather there to award several prizes, including the best film, best director, best actor, best actress, Jury Prize, Grand Prix and of course the famous Palme D’Or, the ultimate reward. The official selection emphasises the diversity of cinematographic creation. The walk up the steps attracts heavy media coverage, for the great artists of world cinema as well as emerging talents.
The main screenings take place on the Boulevard de la Croisette, in the Festival and Conference Centre. Although it is just for professionals, the festival attracts crowds of people to Cannes, who are passionate about film or just curious, hoping to meet the hundreds of filmmakers and actors there. The Beach Cinema, an outdoor cinema, shows a film every night on a particular theme. These open-air screenings are open to all and represent the festival’s strong bond with its audience.
The International Film Festival was created on the initiative of Jean Zay, Minister for Education and Fine Arts, who was keen to establish an international cultural event in France to rival the Venice Film Festival.
The first edition of the Festival was originally set to be held in Cannes in 1939 under the presidency of Louis Lumière. However, it was not until over a year after the war ended that it finally took place, on 20 September 1946. It was subsequently held every September – except in 1948 and 1950 – and then every May from 1952 onwards.
These are one aspect of the event and, without a doubt, the part of the festival that draws the most media attention. For the organisation, they represent above all an opportunity to give an initial and equally special welcome to both the world’s greatest film artists and emerging talent. They also represent an opportunity to honour the creativity of those artists on whom the Festival’s prestige depends. | 2019-04-23T16:32:22 | http://www.travelhouse.com.cy/packages/cannes-international-film-festival-2/ |
Controlling access to web content and non-work related applications is becoming more and more complex. Few companies would resort to preventing access to the web entirely, so web filtering and application control provides a secure, workable compromise.
The situation has become more difficult to manage with the increasing popularity of flexible working. If employees are using their own devices at work or taking company equipment home, the boundaries between work and leisure become blurred. Maybe you could have a situation where a device that holds key company contact data is later used to access a social networking site.
At 365IT we believe that flexible, remote working helps companies work more productively and is good for employees. Therefore managing devices, including controlling access and applications, is at the heart of our expertise. Through a combination of mobile device management (MDM), content filtering and application control technology we can protect your company employees, data and network from malicious – or accidental, yet insecure – activity via the web.
Not every company needs the same set of standards; you may be happy with general web access but not online shopping, for example. We’ll look at what is essential for the level of safeguarding you need and apply blanket restrictions accordingly.
Whether dealing with executives or schoolchildren, we’ll help you set the bar at “safe”.

For years, the stretch of Interstate 26, beginning near Exit 17, was infamous for the audible “thump, thump thump” caused by the tires of vehicles bouncing from one uneven concrete slab to the next.
Now, that seven-mile stretch of interstate, from Boones Creek to University Parkway — including all the exit ramps in between — has been repaved with a fresh layer of asphalt.
State Sen. Rusty Crowe, R-Johnson City, met with TDOT officials Friday at Bob Evans, just off Exit 17, to thank them for their work on the paving project.
Summers-Taylor Inc. was awarded a $6.96 million contract to complete the Interstate 26 resurfacing project through Johnson City.
TDOT District Operations Manager Randy Busler said the project started in late May and was completed roughly four months later. The contract required all the resurfacing work be done overnight, between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.
“Our volumes have grown to the point now that being able to close lanes is very difficult,” TDOT Region 1 Director Steve Borden said.
Concrete had previously been used on roadways across the state, especially in urban areas, Borden said.
Busler said concrete can be “unforgiving,” which is why Interstate 26 through Johnson City consisted of multiple sections or slabs of concrete.
Busler said the numerous “joints” connecting each concrete slab were cut and resealed before a 1.75-inch layer of asphalt was poured to level it all out.
This time around, TDOT paved Interstate 26 with a porous asphalt called “open-graded friction course.” The make-up of the material allows water to drain easier, reducing hydroplaning and splashing while improving surface reflectivity.
Borden said in other areas where open-graded friction course has been used, TDOT has actually noticed a reduction in vehicle accidents.
And now that the “rough” has been smoothed out, it’s nearly time for TDOT to begin work on a “diverging diamond” — an innovative interchange solution in the works for Exit 17.
While Busler said TDOT still has some guardrail upgrades and striping to complete, the next big project for Interstate 26 is transforming the Exit 17 interchange into that “diverging diamond,” which Borden expects to break ground in February or early spring.
The concept — similar to the Interstate 40 Exit 407 interchange in Sevier County—will temporarily shift traffic moving along Boones Creek Road to the left side of the road while crossing underneath Interstate 26. The project is expected to cost around $12.3 million.
Calling it an innovative approach, Borden said the diverging diamond can actually be built more quickly because it has a small footprint, meaning not as much right-of-way is required. The diverging diamond has also been proven safer than traditional designs, as one study in Springfield, Missouri, showed a 60 percent reduction in collisions.
“It will be a great opportunity to improve this interchange, and the improvement of the interchange is something that is going to affect safety, our No. 1 priority, but it will also improve economic development,” Borden said.
In 2010, TDOT built the second-ever diverging diamond in the country in Blount County at the U.S. 129 bypass and Bessemer Street interchange. | 2019-04-22T02:47:57 | https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/Government/2018/11/10/No-more-bump-bump-bump-TDOT-completes-I-26-repaving-plans-to-start-Exit-17-work-in-February.html?ci=stream&lp=5&p=1 |
Jim bao Today with ©opyright on all pictu®es and text: Janusz Korczak´s influence on professor Zygmunt Bauman, Bronisław Baczko and on Włodzimierz Brus.
Janusz Korczak´s influence on professor Zygmunt Bauman, Bronisław Baczko and on Włodzimierz Brus.
Earlier, I wrote here, on my blog about my "uncle Bronek", professor Bronisław Baczko that asked me just before he died (2016) to look for the articles he wrote as a child in Korczak`s Mały Przeglad - The Little Review.
His articles were signed Bronek from Gesia street. However, I found, just a note about his first article. Now. I found however, numerous Zygmunt Bauman writings and now I am actively looking for "Beniamin from Cegielna (street)" - Beniamin from Cegielna is Włodzimierz Brus, the third famous professor from the University of Warsaw that left Poland after antisemitic wave that started in the mid-sixties called in Polish Marzec 1968.
Professor Bronisław Baczko asked me just before he died (2016) to search for the articles he wrote as a child in Korczak`s Mały Przeglad - The Little Review. His articles were signed Bronek from Gesia street.
Professor Zygmunt Bauman, one of the most renowned and prolific figures within the field of sociology died this year in January at the age of 91.
Bauman was as well, as a child both reading and writing in Korczaks newspaper. Here, see below, is one of his articles/letters entitled Kubeł zimnej wody dla Dyci z Zamościa. It was published in the section Free Tribune (Wolna Trybuna). He is rather upset that Dycia wrote the story about Korczak knowing that he is the editor of The Little Review.
.....I do not want to plagiarize the words of Rabbi Akiba. So I will say as follows: As I already noted, you are undoubtedly a talented writer; however, this only makes the matter worse. With abilities such as yours, you simply should not have written an article such as your “My heroes.” The editors did not award you the first prize – even though they offered you some consolation due to the fact that you are a regular contributor. Yet, I think – as well as probably every other reader who thinks objectively about the matter – that the contest submission by Wat was much better, even due to the simple fact that the editors were not involved in this subject. I think you go too far. I admit and I agree with you that Janusz Korczak is a truly outstanding man and I am not the one to tell you who should be your personal hero. However, your own conscience should prevent you from sending praise of a man who created and served as editor-in-chief of a paper to the same paper as a contest submission! It’s not only about the editors, but what does that make you look like in the eyes of other readers? I don’t want to blame you or point my fingers at your obvious fault. I only call upon your conscience to address the issue and I am looking forward to reading its answer.
Zygmunt Bauman uses the title A BUCKET OF COLD WATER from The Little Review from 1933. It was a special article about The Little Review editorial staff. The article is the criticism of numerous, named, co-workers (see below).
The Little Review team - 10 years anniversary: Leon - Georg Glattenberg (top row, second from the left), later known as Ze'ev Harari, Edwin Markuze (top row, third from the left), Lejzer Czarnobroda (top row, fourth from the left), ,Madzia Markuze (top row, fifth from the left), Igor Newerly (top row, sixth from the left), Ludwig Mirabel (top row, seventh from the left), Kuba Kirstein (top row, on the right), Shlomo Kurzbard (top row, second from the right), Efraim Rozen (top row, fourth from the right), Dycia Goldgraber (bottom row, second from the left), Dorka Goldgraber (bottom row, third from the left), Renia Herszenfus (bottom row, fourth from the left), Stefa Reif (bottom row, fifth from the left), Aneri - Irena Librader (bottom row, second from the right), and Maurici Kotler.
DYCIA FROM ZAMOŚĆ was Dycia Goldgraber, a writer for the youth and children's newspaper "Maly Przeglad." In the photo: Goldgraber is on the left. Photographed in 1935. Dycia Goldgraber was a regular reporter and a member of the editorial board (as a youth representative) between the years 1935 - 1939. She perished in the Holocaust.
Aneri. Zygmunt Bauman is mentioning Aneri in the beginning of this article. Aneri - Irena. Librader, later Smigielska. She was among the editors during first ten years of Maly Przeglad. She survived the Holocaust.
Gomułka, Moczar i Werblan chyba nie zauwazyli ze Bauman, Baczko i Brus byli czytelnikami/wspólpracownikami Małego Przegladu Korczaka w latach 30-tych.
Pisze, "chyba" albowiem Polski Komitet Korczakowski z siedziba na ulicy Jasnej 24 w Warszawie został jednak w 1968 roku zamkniety a drzwi zapieczetowane. Ostatnim przewodniczacym Komitetu Korczakowskiego, po Igorze Newerlym, był Michał Wróblewski.

Sustainability Advertising: LOHAS consumers change the way they see food.
The latest LOHAS consumer trends study suggests that a healthy spin may no longer be enough to lure people to new food and beverage products. Marketers may need to take another look at strategies for capturing the attention of this important group, reports Jess Halliday.
LOHAS ('lifestyle of health and sustainability') consumers make up about a quarter of the US population and are classified as those with strong environmental and social values who base many of their purchasing decisions accordingly.
“LOHAS consumers are attractive for a variety of reasons, including brand loyalty, influence over others and price insensitivity,” wrote the authors.
But this year’s study, published by the Natural Marketing Institute, highlights a 6 percent decline in these consumers’ desire to be the first to try new healthy foods and beverages.
And, given their influence, this reluctance may reverberate down through the population, gathering pace as it goes until food companies start to notice a major dent in sales of new products.
Euromonitor statistics show that growth in sales of packaged healthy and better-for-you foods in the US peaked between 2003 and 2004 at 5.8 percent. In 2005, sales were projected to reach $108.5 billion, a 5 percent increase on 2004.
The annual growth rates are predicted to decline steadily over the next four years, from 2.9 percent in 2006, to 3.3 percent in 2007, to 2.9 percent in 2008, to 2.5 percent in 2009. In 2009 sales are expected to reach around 123 billion.
With more and more healthy and better-for-you products hitting the market in the past few years, consumers can afford to be a little picky about those they opt for.
And when they do give products a chance, LOHAS consumers’ standards are very high: “Products needs to feel, taste, and perform as well as (or in many cases better) than their conventional counterparts,” according to the report.
The report also identifies an increase in the role of the brand image in influencing purchasing decisions. As more products become available, consumers have a tendency to stick with brands they recognize, meaning that companies who got in on the act early have a longer legacy of consumer fidelity on which they can base their new launches.
Another possible explanation for the drop-off in interest in new products is that, for this group, health and wellness are not just ‘internal’ considerations, but include planetary concerns too.
Twenty-four percent of survey respondents drawn from the general population said that recyclable packaging was ‘very important’ in their food and beverage purchases (an 18 percent increase over the past two years); 29 percent said no genetically modified ingredients was very important (up 14 percent); and 34 percent said grown without pesticides (up 10 percent).
No trans-fats, low-cholesterol, fortified with vitamins and minerals and low fat also scored highly (32 percent, 32 percent, 30 percent and 30 percent respectively saying they were very important).
These responses indicate that marketers may do well to give equal emphasis to the health and environmental benefits of food products.
More detailed data and analysis of LOHAS trends is available from The Natural Marketing Institute. | 2019-04-25T00:29:46 | http://creativewondersblog.blogspot.com/2005/07/lohas-consumers-change-way-they-see.html |
Members' handicaps range from entry level (28) to A class (scratch) and there are competitions to suit everyone. The Calendar page contains listings for these as well as other events.
In addition, individual club members travel to competitions held elsewhere.
All results are on the SWF website; Sidmouth results feature on the News page.
Nationally the club is affiliated to the Croquet Association (CA) and holds at least three open tournaments annually, with players coming from all over Great Britain, and sometimes abroad, to compete. Sidmouth also occasionally hosts invitation-only events such as the Selectors' Weekend where some of the country's best players can be seen in action. The CA events for Sidmouth can be seen on the CA website together with results.
The premier internal competition of Sidmouth Croquet Club is for the Humphrey Hicks Trophy. This is croquet in its purest form using Advanced rules and no handicaps. In the semi-finals Derek Andrew overcame Mike Taylor by 17 hoops, and Tony Dustan-Smith beat Richard Wood by 4 hoops.
The final is the best of three untimed games. Tony Dustan-Smith (handicap 1) is an old hand at this, but Derek Andrew (handicap 6) was a newcomer to the situation. The first two games of the final were dominated by large breaks, one game going to Derek by 16 hoops and the other to Tony by 11 hoops. As the day was coming towards a close the final game was postponed to the next day and attracted enthusiastic spectators. Both players suffered from big match nerves and made mistakes, but there were also some superb recoveries. In the end Derek held his nerve the best and his name will be inscribed on the trophy for the first time. | 2019-04-25T20:42:03 | http://sidmouthcroquet.org.uk/matches.php |
Police in Scotland have said they have received reports of historical child abuse within football.
They are the latest force in the UK to confirm they are looking into allegations following claims of sexual abuse in England by former players.
A UK hotline set up for sexual abuse victims in the wake of the claims has received more than 250 reports since launching less than a week ago.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We can confirm we have received reports in connection with non-recent child abuse within football.
Detective Chief Superintendent Lesley Boal, Police Scotland public protection, said: "We will continue to work with partners, including the National Police Chiefs Council through Operation Hydrant, the Scottish Football Association and the NSPCC to ensure a co-ordinated police response is in place and that we maintain an accurate picture of child abuse investigations.
"Speaking out about any form of child abuse is incredibly difficult and disclosures are often made many years after an incident took place.
"Police Scotland will listen to any such disclosure, regardless of the passage of time, and will investigate as well as work with partner organisations who have access to advocacy and support during the process of disclosure and investigation.
"We appreciate that sometimes finding a safe place to first talk about experiences helps eventual disclosure and would encourage anybody who feels this would assist to contact a support organisation.
"Details of such organisations can be accessed via Survivor Scotland.
Last week the Scottish Football Association (SFA) joined the campaign supporting players who suffered abuse by coaches to speak out in the wake of revelations south of the border.
Fraser Wishart, chief executive of players' union PFA Scotland, said it would be "naive to think that these allegations are unique to one part of the UK'' and vowed to protect any players that come forward.
The Scottish Government was earlier urged by a Conservative MSP to launch a "focused investigation'' into abuse of children in sports clubs.
Tory MSP Rachael Hamilton said there have been pleas for the SNP administration to launch a wider inquiry covering areas such as sport as the sector is not included in the current historical abuse inquiry.
The Government has already faced criticism that the inquiry - looking into treatment of children who were in residential care, those who had long-term stays in hospital, boarding schools and those under foster care - is too narrow.
"The current inquiry risks not going far enough in helping victims of child abuse,'' Ms Hamilton said.
Mr McDonald said: "We do take seriously any indications or reports of sexual abuse in sporting bodies and ... we will continue to monitor the number of calls that are made to the hotline and determine alongside other bodies whether any further action is required in this specific area.
SNP MSP Christine Grahame insisted the SFA should not have an investigatory role in any abuse allegations due to potential conflicts of interest. | 2019-04-26T08:15:38 | https://www.heart.co.uk/scotland/news/local/police-scotland-get-reports-of-abuse-in-football/ |
As the old board is not reliable a new board with new sensors has been designed. As MLX90609 is out of production ADXRS450 is the new choice. It is pretty expensive but has continues self test and potential failure can be detected. Besides the self test the gyro is factory precalibrated, accurate and comes also in LCC package.
Finally, I have implemented TaitBryan angle conversion and added simple EFIS display to the service application. Will be handy for semi automatic flights. Some minor things are not implemented yet but, generally, every essential information is displayed.

My mind is racing! I’m so excited to be temporarily out of school. I’ve been looking forward to these next several days with anticipation for weeks. I think that’s pretty similar to how most people handle time off whatever it is that fills their days. For me, I’ve been thinking about my goals and to-do lists. Every thought that has passed through, I’ve tried to capture on paper and put aside for this very day!
Most of those things I want to do here on this blog, because I blog publicly in hopes of connecting with real people over the internet. Also, even if I never connect with a real person over the internet, knowing it could happen at any moment will help as an added layer of accountability. | 2019-04-25T01:58:45 | https://michaelrobb.blog/2016/12/09/eager-to-do/ |

DoughRoller » Insurance » Life Insurance » Should You Consider Permanent Life Insurance?
My wife and I both have life insurance. First purchased when we adopted our children seventeen years ago, we have 20-year term policies. As hard as it is for me to believe, our policies are just a few short years away from lapsing. And that’s caused me to ask whether we would have been better off purchasing permanent life insurance.
Permanent life insurance, as the name suggests, is a form of life insurance that lasts for the life of the insured. It’s distinct from the more typical term life insurance in two very important ways. First, term policies last for a fixed term, typically ranging from one to 30 years. As I mentioned, my wife and I have 20-year term policies.
Second, term policies are barebones life insurance policies. You pay a premium during the term. If the insured dies while the policy is in force, the beneficiaries receive the death benefit. If the policy expires while the insured is alive, there is no cash value. In contrast, permanent life insurance has an investment component above and beyond the insurance. Since a permanent life insurance policy lasts for the insured person’s entire life, a payout is guaranteed. Your permanent life insurance premiums are invested, so the policy accrues cash value.
While permanent life insurance may sound like a great deal, it comes with hefty price tag. Buy a permanent policy today, and you’re guaranteed to pay a much higher premium than you would for a term policy. While the actual premium depends on a number of factors, premiums for permanent (sometimes called whole life or universal life) policies can be five to 10 times higher then term life insurance. Those extra dollars paid in the early years of a permanent policy get invested and grow. That growth is tax-deferred if the policy is cashed in during the insured persons lifetime. Proceeds are usually tax-free to the beneficiary upon the insured person’s death.
Is Permanent Life Insurance a Good Option?
Most don’t need it. Most people need life insurance when somebody depends on them for support. This is typically the case when parents are raising children. But fast forward to the couple’s golden years, and the children should be self-sufficient. And with retirement savings and social security, each spouse shouldn’t be depending on the other for financial support.
You don’t control the investments. As promising as permanent life may seem, you have very little control over the investment choices. For this reason, it’s typically better to buy a term policy and invest the difference on your own.
Expense are high. Most insurance companies take a significant portion of the premium in the form of expenses. It’s only what’s left that actually gets invested. These expenses can be steep, rising to as much as three percent or more. This is another reason why investing on your own is generally the better choice.
So when is permanent life insurance a good choice? In some cases you need insurance for your entire life. One example would be if you care for handicapped children. A good friend of ours has two grown children who will need care for the rest of their lives. Because they will never be self-sufficient, a permanent life insurance policy may be a good choice.
There are also tax considerations. Because the proceeds of a permanent policy are often distributed free of taxes, such a policy can be part of wise estate planning. But a tax or estate lawyer should be consulted before making any decisions.
Traditional Whole Life Policies are the simplest, and offer the most guarantees. The premium is guaranteed, as are certain death benefits and cash values.
Universal Life Policies have varying premiums (with a guaranteed maximum) and minimum guaranteed cash values and death benefits. Instead of the dividends paid to traditional whole life policyholders, universal policies accrue interest at a credited rate determined each year.
Variable Life Policies offer the fewest guarantees, and the highest possibility for increasing in cash value.
Finally, if you are considering a form of permanent life insurance, speak to an insurance expert who is not trying to sell you insurance. An insurance broker would love to sell you a permanent policy because he or she stands to make a substantial commission. That’s not to suggest that life insurance brokers aren’t honest, but you’d be better served speaking with an expert who has no self-interest to bias his or her opinion.
In the end, do your homework, shop around online for life insurance, and make an informed decision. For us, I’m confident we made the right choice with term insurance.
First, I liked the article. I have a hard time deciding whether I need life insurance and I saw one place where it was saying that if your kids are grown you may not need insurance. I do not carry life insurance as I have prepaid cremation services and the rest of the funeral services is a waste. i will not go into what I want in this forum, just suffice it to say I don’t think that I need insurance. Please make sure the readers understand that insurance companies are making profits. They use actuaries and analysts to determine the odds of you dying. The insurance companies will always win.
I think it is better to invest the money on a monthly basis and watch it grow. Young people investing today on a regular basis would have a sizable amount by the time they are 70 or 80. Of course the insurance selling point is the foreseen. this is true, but many people do not buy enough insurance to cover “the unforeseen.” So the spouse and kids are still left high and dry.
I was a little surprised to see that most of the comments are from 2010-2011. I guess it goes to show that nothing has changed in the insurance business.
I find the comment about buy term invest the rest is a little short sighted. Insurance companies invest in long term investments, typically interest based investments such as mortgages. These investments are more stable then say STOCKS. what we have seen in the stock market is volatility. Investment firms such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman rely on volatility to make money. They rely on positions being opened and closed and use grey markets to liquidate many of these positions that do not show up in normal trades. There are so many layers of people trying to make a commission that your stock investments are at risk all of the time. There is too much incentive to oversell a stock. Banks make billions on interest and if they are doing it, maybe you should too. Buying a small paid up whole policy and including “enhanced Paid up Additions” can build a very nice nest egg. With rates so low, now is a great time to get into these types of policies as insurance is still the most important part of the family plan, but the benefit of a whole policy is that at the end, there is a hefty sum that can be tapped for retirement. it is a conservative approach that accomplishes many important goals. The stock market will continue to change at a far faster pace as a result of the obsolescence of technology. Where is digital equipment, polaroid, Compaq, Circuit City, The post office. Buying substantial amounts of mutual funds is risky as they may hold positions that cannot keep up with technology and will end up like many names we grew up with. Interest based investments are here to stay, and they deserve a second, third, fourth and final look, but when prrotecting your family is a high priority, you can have your cake and eat it too with a good quality whole policy, with enhanced paid up additions!
You forgot to mention that permanenet or whole life policies purchased at a young age with a fixed premium are an option to assure that your heirs will have funds to pay legal fees to settle your estate and pay off outstanding debts thereby relieving them of that financial burden.
What is your view on purchasing longterm care insurance?
When I decided on 20 year term life insurance I made the bet that my net worth would exceed the benefits after 20 years. If I felt like it would take 30 years I would’ve increased the term. If I were in a dead end job without any retirement I probably would’ve gone with permanent (but the catch22 is someone with little future net worth probably can’t afford permanent).
At age 30, I purchased a $100,000 participating (dividend-paying) whole life policy. I also had a significant amount of term offered through my employer. I stopped paying my roughly $1000 annual premium after eight years. I have now owned the policy for 20 years, and the death benefit is still roughly the face amount and will likely be so until my death. I can leave it in force for life and pay the death benefit to my children, surrender it today for around $14,000 (which will likely continue to increase), or I can sell it when my life expectancy reaches 10-15 years for around 4-5 times the cash value. If I had purchased a 20-year level term, I would have paid a total of about $4000-5000 dollars in total premium and had nothing to show for it. If I had purchased a 30-year term, it would have cost me more in total premium than I paid for my whole life.
Choosing between Term Life Insurance and Permanent Life Insurance is often a heated and emotional discussion. There is no doubt that the phrase “buy term and invest the rest” makes sense for many.
Now I can make a case for going either way, but what it all comes down to is personal choice and freedom. Saying that Term life Insurance is “The” right way for most people to buy life insurance is like saying that everyone should drive the same kind of car. After all, it will probably get them from point a to point b, until it doesn’t any more. Then you have to go out and buy a different car.
The key is in actually talking with a knowledgeable, licensed professional who is able to understand not just what your “needs” for life insurance are but take into consideration your “Wants” as well. Life insurance calculators and online quoting engines have a hard time helping you determine what your Wants actually are.
No; one should NOT assess one’s own needs; one should consult with a properly qualified financial planner or advisor. Neither the individual nor most insurance agents are qualified to perform a proper analysis of life insurance needs.
Rob, while some situations are so complex that seeking professional advice is a must, I’m not sure why most people can’t assess their life insurance needs on their own. There are plenty of tools that can help you determine how much life insurance you need. My wife and I made this assessment on our own, and it wasn’t difficult at all.
While there are plenty of tools that do a questionably adequate job of determining the amount of coverage needed, there are absolutely none that properly determine the type or mix of coverage. Most professionals will provide this type of guidance at little or no cost, so why not consult with one?
I would tend to disagree with this advice on permanent life insurance. Most often, the true return rates on these policies are miserable at best. Most consumer organizations point folks toward fixed rate term insurance. We have two of these policies, the premium rate can’t increase one penny over the 20 year life of the policy. Some of these permanent policies don’t even pay out the accrued amount if the policy holder passes away, they only pay the face amount of the insurance. Bottom line – any life insurance policy that is not fixed rate term in a gamble. You will be much better off down the road to pay off your debt and build an emergency fund than to try to use one of these fancy, high agent commission non-term policies.
Thanks Dave, for your unoriginal (ie, regurgitated) analysis. The only way one determines that “the true return rates on these policies are miserable” is by overlooking that the expense charges which are normally blamed are reasonable costs of insurance and policy guarantees. The raw rates of return are identical to those of the investment vehicles within them. Also ignored are the tremendous tax advantages available only with life insurance cash values.
You are correct that most term policies today are level term with a guaranteed premium, but the author was obviously referring to the often prohibitively higher premiums that result from renewing a policy after the end of the initial term. Bottom line: There is such a thing as a permanent need for life insurance, though that need does not apply to everyone. If the life insurance need exceeds twenty years, that need is almost always met more cost effectively using permanent insurance.
Permanent insurance offers a steady growth with no taxation. If you can find something else that grows with no risk at 4-8 percent a year then please, clue us in. By avoiding taxation on these dollars, you need to understand that this can be the equivalent of 6-10 percent growth in a 401k or stock market type investment.
Also, having a place where your money can be accessed easily is the best place to put your emergency fund.
For some reason, people still listen to Dave Ramsey. Besides his get out of debt advice, the guy is ancient history. Step into the 21st century and take a look at the options you have. The market is a horrible place to put your money, and you don’t have to take excessive risk to become wealthy. | 2019-04-19T03:11:13 | https://www.doughroller.net/insurance/life-insurance/should-you-consider-permanent-life-insurance/ |
Today is not just Valentine’s Day; it’s also the end of the Chinese New Year, or the Lantern Festival. It’s a sweet day, a day of candy and/or sesame, peanut, or red bean glutinous rice balls.
Nine years ago, I had a feeling that my then-boyfriend was going to propose. And he did! Last year, that feeling returned, but it had nothing to do with marriage or proposals.
No, last Valentine’s Day my agent sent my manuscript for Good Chinese Wife to eight editors at publishing houses. It wasn’t the first time she had submitted it to editors, but we both had a feeling that it could be the last.
Carrie chose Valentine’s Day to send out Good Chinese Wife because the winter holidays were over and a fresh year was ahead. She also chose February 14th to submit my manuscript to editors because, given the context of the story, it’s a dark take on a bright holiday.
The previous year, during the first two rounds of submission, we received some great feedback even though they were all rejections. It might seem daunting to receive a dozen rejections, but 1) it’s a normal part of publishing and 2) the editors all had great things to say about the story.
The main problem, according to most, was that I was holding back, or not revealing enough. One even suggested I turn my book into a novel if that would make it easier for me to write the more uncomfortable parts.
But Carrie and I both agreed that Good Chinese Wife should stay a memoir. It was clear, though, that I had to reveal more in the story if it were ever to be published. So I hunkered down for another round of revisions. By early January, she and I were both confident with the new manuscript. All we had to do was wait until February 14th.
I clearly remember talking to her ten days after Valentine’s Day. She reiterated her feeling that the manuscript was there. I felt the same way. A few hours later, she phoned me back–with an offer!
The submission process can be nerve-wracking, especially after that first rejection. But if we had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. I love my publisher, Sourcebooks, and am so pleased with the way the book has turned out.
If you have questions about publishing, especially the submission process, leave a note in the comments.
so awesome it went out on Valentine’s day! makes it really special. What a great story! so excited to read the book!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was all Carrie’s idea! She thought editors would take notice if they received it on Valentine’s Day! And it worked!
That was such a smart decision on Carrie’s part to submit on Valentine’s Day — and not that long afterwards, you got the best V-day surprise a woman could ask for!
Thank you so much, Jocelyn! It was fun to send it out on Valentine’s Day! I had suggested Chinese New Year, but she said Valentine’s Day would resonate with more editors. And I believe that definitely was the case. Maybe someday soon, Chinese New Year will be on more people’s radars. Things are quickly changing in the US in that respect! | 2019-04-23T05:58:06 | http://www.susanbkason.com/2014/02/13/a-different-take-on-valentines-day/ |

Still, the game has a diverse cast, and you can tell from the first glance. There’s a character who is a Pacific Islander, multiple women, men of varying races and body shapes, and—in an achievement that few games can boast—there are two black women. In fact, you have to play as one of them in the tutorial mission, during which you go through the basic moves as the support character Lifeline. As soon as I completed that mission, I went and queued up for a game with my friend Julian and my other coworker Paul Tamayo; I then selected the other black woman, the rough and tumble soldier Bangalore.
Like Overwatch, the stated backstories of these characters don’t matter much when you’re actually in the fray. Bloodhound, who has been confirmed by the developers to be non-binary, doesn’t say “I don’t fit into the binary definition of gender” when they kill someone. Nor does Gibraltar, whom the developers have said is gay, talk about how he is gay while you play as him. Still, there’s something nice about a game where I can run into other players who have chosen a character who isn’t a white, straight, cis male. When I played with Julian and Paul last night, almost every single team had someone playing as Bangalore, since her air strike ability can be devastating and great for flushing out squads. | 2019-04-23T17:11:16 | https://kotaku.com/sadly-its-surprising-that-there-are-two-black-women-in-1832397106 |
10 Great Things to do in Nice, the sunny city!
One of the most famous markets of the south of France is Cours Saleya in the heart of the old town of Nice.

It’s a symphony for the senses – the scene of spices, cheese, street food and fresh fruit are a memory to cherish…There’s a flower market too on Sunday making the whole place smell of blossom. On Mondays there’s a huge sprawling antiques market.
Not exactly a chateau, it’s actually a park on top a hill, the castle having long gone. Head here for sensational views over the city and port surrounded by sweet smelling pine treas. Sigh over the sight of the Bay of Angels and enjoy a picnic in the fresh air and spectacular botanical gardens. If you’re there at noon, be prepared for the cannon booming on the dot of 12 o’clock – it’s so loud, it will make you jump! Read about the midday cannon of Nice.
Socca – it’s not a game!
Nice is a gastronomic city and one of its finest offerings is socca. It’s a sort of pancake made from chickpeas and the Nicois are crazy for them. At the market, local socca seller Theresa is a celebrity and you may have to wait in line to be served – but it’s worth it. The socca frites (like the crispiest, tastiest chips ever) are also absolutely delicious!
The pink dome of the Hotel Negresco is an iconic landmark of Nice. This palace of the French Riviera is home away from home to celebrities and royal families from around the world. Nip to La Rotonde bistrot for a taste of luxury that won’t break the bank or the famous bar for an expensive cocktail and a chance to view the incredible artworks on display here.
Wander the narrow and winding lanes of this ancient town and simply admire the colourful buildings, ancient shops, tempting shady squares and fabulous café lifestyle.
The Promenade de Paillon is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun, a park and promenade with water jets and fountains, it’s a favourite with the locals to while away the hours.
The Mediterranean water is clear and turquoise coloured . Take a dip and cool down on the town beach (which is stony) or head to one of the local beaches if you want sand.
Noisy, colourful, fun and crazy. Every February, huge parades of giant kings and thousands of dancers and musicians fill the Place Massena, and there are some amazing flower fights the like of which you’ve never seen before! This is 15 days of utter magical mayhem.
A short bus ride or healthy walk from the old town, the Matisse Museum (free entry) is located next to the Roman ruins of Cimiez. It’s a fascinating exhibition of the artist’s work that takes you through the evolution of his style from the first painting he did which is rather ordinary to his extraordinary vibrant creations.
The choice of restaurants, cafés, bistros and places to eat is overwhelming but brilliant in Nice. One of the most fun places you’ll find is round the Cours Saleya, the market place. There are dozens of restaurants here, tables and chairs spilling out onto the sunny terraces, often accompanied to the sound of live music. Nip into the alleys of the old town and you’re really spoiled for choice. Don’t miss A Buteghinna, 11 rue du marché, run by three friends (Sophie, Marcelle and Evelyne) this is where you’ll get true Nicoise cooking – just like maman used to make! | 2019-04-23T16:55:57 | https://www.thegoodlifefrance.com/10-great-things-to-do-in-nice-the-sunny-city/ |
The Rule of Law applies to everyone from the Rulers to the Prime Minister and Ministers, to the civil servants and ordinary citizens.
There is no provision which exempts anyone from the Rule of Law. For the Rulers there is a special court but the laws are the same as the laws applicable to ordinary citizens. The Rulers too must respect the laws.
It is disturbing to see blatant breaches of the law being perpetrated in the mistaken belief that immunity has somehow been accorded.
We had agreed that Malaysia accepts democracy, i.e rule of the people by the people, and for the people. This by common consent takes the form of a Parliamentary Democracy with a constitutional monarch at State and Federal levels. Towards this end the constitution and law at different levels have been promulgated. Unfortunately certain breaches of the laws have been committed without action being taken by the law enforcement agencies. In other words the Rule of Law has been ignored. | 2019-04-26T02:27:23 | https://weehingthong.org/2019/01/02/mahathir-the-rule-of-law-applies-to-everyone/ |
