If you feel like your relationship isn't quite following the normal path of other relationships, you may want to consult our relationship timeline. Whether you are currently deep into a relationship, or are just beginning one and want to know what might be in store down the line, we can show you what you might expect, or give you an idea if you're moving too slowly or too quickly. And remember, these guidelines are general, and may be what works for a lot of people, but it's not what works for everyone. If things in your relationship are moving a bit slow or fast for you, what matters most is that you're happy and enjoying your relationship.
Below is a general relationship timeline, from first date to several years out. This timeline, along with this course on creating a mind-blowing relationship, might help in not only finding the right person for you, but also help to figure out what should happen, and when.
First Year
This is where the "Honeymoon Phase" is found, where the couple may be lovey-dovey and can't seem to keep their hands off of each other. This is also the time frame that most relationships end in, as well, so it can be quite a volatile time for new lovebirds.
- First Date
This is when you really have to shine, showing not only part of your real self, but also putting on a performance to try to woo the other person. While it may not be the best representation of the people involved, it does give the other a good idea of what to expect.
- Six Weeks
If you make it this far, this is around the time people start feeling comfortable with each other. Some of the awkwardness is wearing off and your real self is becoming more obvious to the other person. You may also start to meet your partner's friends and get a feel for what their life is all about.
- First Three Months
The "Honeymoon Phase" we talked about earlier. If you get past the first couple of dates, this is when things get fun. This part may last a few weeks, or as long as a few months. Basically, there's a lot of physical "interaction", with euphoric feelings happening in both parties, and chances are you're not really noticing the flaws in the other person quite yet. This is also the time you may start referring to yourself as a couple, using words such as "us", and "we".
- Six Months
Here, the sheen has probably worn off a bit, and there's probably something that's beginning to annoy you about the other person. They may not be trying as hard as before to keep their baggage and hangups hidden. For a relationship to last past this point, there needs to be more than a physical attraction, such as mutual respect, a sense of humor, etc. The words "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" may also be bandied about around this time.
- Six to Nine Months
If you're able to make it this long in a relationship, congratulations. This is when couples start discussing a life together, in one way or another. Maybe they will take a vacation together, spend an upcoming holiday together, or even maybe meet each other's family at some point. Around this point in time, you may start hearing the "L" word, with someone breaking the ice, and finally saying "I love you."
After the First Year
If you've made it a year in your relationship, that's a great accomplishment that a lot don't make. Once you've crossed the year mark, there may be some bumpy road ahead, but also a deepening of the relationship.
- One Year to 18 Months
This is when a couple begins to settle down. There's no more honeymoon, and there's been bed-head, sickness, no makeup and other not very sexy things going on. If you find you've started fighting a bit, that's perfectly normal. Just make sure it doesn't get out of hand, and if it does, this course on how to stop fighting with your partner may be necessary. If you're still happy this far into a relationship, there should be discussions of marriage at some point, assuming you're not too young. If you're still in your early 20s or younger, the marriage discussion should probably wait a few more years. If you're not the marrying type, that should also be discussed, as well as other life goals, such as where to live, having children, etc.
Two Years and Beyond
- Two Years
This might be the make or break part of a relationship for some people. If marriage is the next step in your relationship, this is around the time a proposal should be made. It should be something that both partners want to do, rather than just then next step that should be taken. Again, this is different for everyone, especially if you're a bit on the young side, but what it boils down to is, "Does this feel right?" And if so, then go for it.
- Beyond
Hopefully, wherever you're at in your relationship at this point in time, you're happy. Whether there was marriage or children or whatever, all that matters is the both of you are happy. If at this point in time, or at some point prior, you noticed the spark beginning to wane a bit, this course on improving your relationship and your sex life might just help put some excitement back in the bedroom.
So, how does your love life stack up to this timeline? As we said before, no two relationships are the same, so you may not partake in all of these milestones, let alone at the same time as other people. However you may gauge your relationship, if you've spent at least a year with them, then there's something special happening. If you feel like you've met your soul mate, but still need some advice, this course on the secrets of a true love relationship may be what you need.

HER STORY #33 - zahava
From Iraq to Florentin
I live in Florentin, in Tel Aviv. I used to live in Tel Kabir, in Neve Ofer, which is a couple of stations away. I lived there until I got married at the age of 22, and since then I've lived in Florentin.
When I first came to Florentin, I didn't like it because it was an empty neighborhood. There was nothing here. A lot of things were missing, such as kindergartens, but I told myself, "We'll live here." Little by little I began to like the neighborhood.
Now there are cafés and new buildings, and many young people living here.
I came to Israel from Iraq when I was a baby. I don't remember anything from it. What I know is what my mother told me, because I was about one year old at the time.
They [my parents] told me that it was fun to live there. They had god neighbors, and they enjoyed life until 1948. That's when things changed. When a Jewish country was established, everyone there began acting differently with the Jewish population. Until then it had been fine. No one had made trouble before, but things changed. Jews were being kicked out of villages, so my parents decided to go to Israel.
They came here to immigrant camps. My mother had an uncle that had moved here before 1948, and so he helped my mother find a place to live in Tel Aviv. He lived in Holon, and we moved to Tel Kabir.
We were nine children. Every day we woke up early in the morning. My parents went to work and came back and we were all very busy. At the same time, we had a lot of fun.
It wasn't a big home - only three rooms, but we were happy. There weren't as many physical things as there are today, but it was okay.
After a few years, my mother began to work. She worked in "Heichal HaTarbut" [the "Culture Palace" in Tel Aviv]. My father worked with carpets, abroad and here. He made a lot of money. He had started selling carpets in Iraq and he continued to sell carpets in Israel. In Iraq, my mother lived as a queen, but here, she had to work a lot.
But with all this we didn't feel like anything was missing. We weren't rich, but we lived in honor.
I have a daughter and a son, and my son has three children. They were renting a place here in Bnei Brak for a little bit, but his wife is from Beersheba, and they live there together. My daughter is single and lives in Florentin.
I joined Mahapach [organization "Mahapach - Taghrir" focusing on Palestinian-Jewish partnership for community-based social change] through my daughter. I've been with them for 18 years, which is a long time.
We fought for a lot of things that weren't in our neighborhood. Many things were missing, and many things still are. Some of the things we got, other things we didn't. There were no "Tipat Halah" [Family Health Centers], no pharmacy, and not many kindergartens. On Washington Street there were some playgrounds, but now they have been removed.
I'm also part of "Achoti" [Mizrahi Feminist organization in Israel] and other women's groups here.
It's very important for me to be heard and to work on what is missing in the neighborhood. Now we have a community center, but for a long time there wasn't one. My children also had to travel very far north to get to their school. There is just one high school here. They removed one of the local schools, and combined two schools. We can't all be in one space—they have to plan it better. My son had to go all the way to Northern Tel Aviv [to go to school].
I worked a lot. When I got married and had two children, I began working in pre-schools. I have also done a lot of work with children through Mahapach. We did a lot of activities for children so that they wouldn't spend their time on the streets.
The houses here are full as well. The apartments that were built are very expensive and are not big enough.
I think that there are many more things to do. There are not enough parks, and more lighting is needed. Some streets are not lit enough at night. For example, on Salame Street there is a new building, and I have asked the municipality to have more light there in one particular area because I was scared when I walked there. It took them two years. I kept calling them and the electricity company, and then suddenly there was light - on Hannukah [Jewish holiday also called "Festival of Lights"], yes on Hanukkah.
There was flooding on my street, as if we were in Venice. Only this year did they take care of the sewage system and the pipes there. It was impossible to get through it before. Now we have pavement.
It was impossible to take the children to school, and for my husband and myself to go to work. We needed a truck to come and get us. But in the end they took care of the pipes and sewage, and they're still working on the street's foundation.
Then you always have dog droppings. If I am running to the grocery store in a hurry, I may risk stepping on one. I don't understand it. It's not okay. There were signs put up on Washington Boulevard against people leaving their dogs' droppings, and then fines were implemented.
We have asked for many things, such as benches for people to rest on after having gone to the supermarket with their children. I have requested a lot of changes, some personally and some other through Mahapach.
There is a "Gil Hazahav" club [club for seniors] in Florentin. It's on Herzl, and before there was no traffic light, so I, along with a woman named Rosa, wrote letters to the municipality and asked for traffic lights. We also said that the club needed an elevator, because the senior citizens could easily fall. The municipality eventually approached us and installed an elevator for the people there, which helps them go up and down between the different floors. People can fall. Therefore the municipality had to take care of that. It helps the elderly now.
To Give
From a young age, I always cared. Even in school, I was also active in Tel Kabir.
My mother helped women. She liked giving food to those who needed it. Even if she had children at home, she liked to give. My aunt and others were alone, and my mother would take care of them.
She cared about them. She also cared about others who suffered and who weren't family members. That's how I learned to give.
We first lived in an Arab building, and one day someone in a tractor came and said, "That's it. We are taking you out." My mother said, "What? I'm not leaving like this." But they were going to tear the building down. We had no hotel to live in. My father was 20 years older than my mother, so my mother said, "How will I carry an older person and nine children out? Where to? Give me a house."
She found out that houses were being built in Tel Kabir and asked the municipality what she could get there, and how much she would need to pay since they had taken her house. Even though we had lived in a house, we had to get out. The municipality came and talked to her, and we moved to an apartment and paid mortgage until a certain point.
But the struggles began there, with her. Today those kinds of struggles usually begin with a small number of people and then grows. With her, she was fighting alone. She also taught her neighbors what to do in order to improve neighborhoods.
She had a talent for business and managing things. That's what she had. Although we were nine children, we were always clean and in good shape. People wondered, how that could be, but she was on top of everything. She wouldn't let us suffer.
My parents spoke Iraqi [Iraqi dialect of Arabic] between themselves, but we would come home from school and ask them to speak Hebrew to us. With time, they also began working in Hebrew, so they began learning Hebrew as well.
They still spoke Iraqi, but since most of their children were born here, they eventually spoke mostly in Hebrew. Even my grandmother learned Hebrew. We learnt Hebrew quickly. It was easy to learn Hebrew. My aunt's uncle was a seventh-generation "Tzabar" ["Sabra" refers to Israeli Jew born on Israeli territory], so he knew.
I understand a lot of Arabic, but I wouldn't be able to speak in complete sentences. I understand a lot of Arabic, but I can't formulate sentences.
I learned where they [parents] came from. They told me that it was very fun there [in Iraq]. There were so many different kinds of vegetables, dates, good food, etc.
They missed it. One of my aunts was always saying that she wanted to go back. She missed it. She grew up there. There was a sense of longing.
I don't feel the need to move there, but to see and to know it, yes, I'd like to go.
I have a sister who married someone from England, and she went to Iraq with him. She told me about it. She couldn't photograph it though. She was Israeli, as she was born here, but I believe she traveled there with a British passport.
The husband of my sister's sister-in-law died in Jerusalem during the Six Day War. His wife was left alone with three children. They were small at the time. It hurts you, when you hear that.
I don't think wars are necessary, but I hope it will be over.
There haven't really been stabbings before, but now I hear about them in the neighborhood. Just recently I heard about someone who died at the Panorama [office building Tel Aviv]. He has five children at home. His wife is alone now. It hurts to hear this.
Once I didn't care about walking. Now I don't know, where something will happen. It wasn't like that once, but now suddenly you hear about things that happened in Sarona [Sarona Market in Tel Aviv] and on Dizengoff [Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv], and then in Netanya, Rishon [Rishon LeZion], in so many other places.
I get scared. Anything can happen suddenly. It's not a normal thing.
We're not guilty, they're not guilty. When people get killed, it doesn't matter if it happens here or there. Why do children need to get killed? It's difficult for me when I hear that children are killed here or there.
I hope that there will be peace.
I'm scared, but I need to continue with my life. When they shot Scud missiles at us, I had to go to work. I couldn't not leave the house. I was a kindergarten teacher and had to go to work. It was scary, but I needed to go.
Two years ago [during 2014 Gaza war] I went to my son's place in Ramat Gan. In the middle of the bus ride, there was a siren. The bus stopped, and we waited next to a building. I looked up at the sky, and saw how the Iron Dome intercepted it [missile]. If it lands somewhere, it can kill someone.
Palestinian Women
I meet with Palestinian women here, also through Achoti and Mahapach. I like these people. I worked in Yafo [Jaffa] with a kindergarten teacher who was Muslim. I'm still in touch with her today. When I go there, all the women from the kindergarten team say: "Oh, here comes Zahava!"
We are all the same.
I'm with the opinion that there needs to be peace. They, similarly to us, suffer, and their children too. We don't want, and they don't want, what is happening. We shouldn't be living in fear of wars.
I talk to the Palestinian women. They ask me, how come people are treating their children badly? It hurts them, but it also hurts me. Their child is my child.
I love these people. I don't see them as enemies. For me, they are like us, mothers, women. We have children; they have children. They were also scared during the sirens. They don't know where it will land—where the boom will be.
In our [Mahapach] women's group in Florentin, we talk about the neighborhood, and what is needed. We talked about our struggles, all of which still exist. I'm also active in Achoti, as they mostly work with women from South Tel Aviv.
The foreigners in southern Tel Aviv are also suffering, but I tell them that we also need homes. Children who were born here don't have homes here. That's the situation today. It's difficult for you, but also for us.
There is a woman here, who organizes demonstrations against foreigners. But they [the foreigners] are also people. I don't know what they went through, so at the end of the day we need to be human and be nice to them. When you tell them to go away, where are they supposed to go? It's true that sometimes they create problems, but this is not always the case. Perhaps she [the woman who organizes demonstrations against foreigners] is right in that sense, but we can't put all of them into one box, because one person did something. That's how I think. They want to live.
One of the refugees told me that his wife and children are still in his home country. He said that it was difficult to be here, but he said that he can't go back, because he would go to prison. It's difficult for them too.
I didn't serve in the army. My daughter did. She said she had fun, but I was scared of her.
She served in a place near Beit Shemest, and on her first day on the base, I got her commander's number. I called him and told him that I wasn't ready for my daughter to serve there, that she's from Tel Aviv, and that it was difficult for her to get home every day. He told me that the base wasn't in the West Bank, but I told him that she was there until the dark.
I called and cried, but what could I do? I told her that the moment that she saw a bus, any bus, to get one it and tell the bus driver to go to Jerusalem and then home [to Tel Aviv] from there. She even let me speak to the bus driver, which I did, and I thanked him.
The army eventually transferred her to a place closer to home.
I had told her officer that if it didn't happen soon, I would faint. "I can't lose my daughter. I can't worry about her. You put her in such a place." She had to go home from the base, and she left the base after dark every day. She didn't know the place. It was in the middle of fields. Nobody was there. Nobody would hear you, even if you were shouting. She went all that way. It wasn't a closed base, so every day they had to go home. The commander said, "I don't only deal with the soldier, but also the family."
When she was on a "Fun Day" with her unit, I spoke to him as well and told him that if she didn't drink [water], she would go to the hospital, so he called for her and gave her water and made her be in the shade. I told him that there are things that the unit doesn't know about her [daughter], and that I have enough things to worry about.
My son was also in the army, but he served in an area close by.
My brother was recruited on the day that the Yom Kippur War started. For one month we didn't see him and we didn't know what was going on with him. It was very difficult.
People were fasting [on Yom Kippur]. It was Shabbat, so no television either, and suddenly we saw forces being recruited. It all began at two o'clock. We weren't ready.
After Shabbat people turned on their radios, but the broadcasts wouldn't explain the situation as they do today. It was more silent. But we don, and since then I had hoped that there wouldn't be more wars.
My father wouldn't use shelter. He said that he had already experienced wars [in Iraq]. We also didn't have a shelter. He wanted to sit outside.
With Saddam Hussein it was awful. The booms that we heard were terrible. We didn't have shelter, but we sat in a sealed room covered in nylon paper. I didn't like it and would say, "There is no air." I wanted it to be over. He [Saddam Hussein] kept throwing things. On Sderot Washington [Washington Boulevard] a piece of one of the missiles fell.
Two years ago, a piece of one of the missiles fell on a gas station on Florentin Street.
During that time [two years ago] I worked in a Jewish-Arab kindergarten. The children didn't know what was going on. The mothers, who came there wouldn't talk about the war. They just wanted to live in peace. They live in Yafo.
I hope that the current generation will finally achieve piece and quiet, and won't face hard times, where you don't know what will happen next. That's what I expect for everyone around us, and for me personally as well.
I want more people to do good. I love to give. I volunteer at the kindergarten where I used to work, and I do activities with other organizations. I volunteer a lot, but I think that more people should volunteer as well.
When I ask people to volunteer, they ask me if I'm being paid. I'm not interested in that. I learned that from my mother.
If someone needs food, I will go to them and give them food. I'll go up 70 flight of stairs, just for this person. Those are things that everyone should think about.
Once I had given food to someone—I gave him as much as he wanted. A while afterward he told me (and I hadn't known this before), "I owe you a lot." I told him that he didn't owe me anything. To this he replied, "You don't know how much you helped me in such difficult times. My parents and I didn't have food, and you brought it to me." He told me that my deeds were special, and that everyone should do that. Every so often I'm reminded of his words.
It's not to brag, but I want others to do it, to help others. If someone doesn't have food or something else, they should be helped. Why should people suffer?
Someone I know lived in an apartment and she told me that there were people bothering her. The neighbors wanted her to leave. She lived in a dirat mafte'ach [subsidized housing] [I also live like that). I told her, "Go to Shula in Ahoti." There is a lawyer there every Wednesday. Talk to him."
She came and kissed me after she had gone to the lawyer. She said that now the neighbors don't bother her anymore. There was a law that she hadn't know, and she didn't know who to ask for help, but she cried to me in the streets. I had helped her.
It feels good to know that I could help someone. What more do I need besides that? To get paid? No, this is enough. Even a nice word to a person can help this person. Not only money helps. What I can give is what I can give.

Man United draw west ham in EFL quarter final
Juan Mata has given Jose Mourinho's men a tie against the side that knocked Chelsea out, while Arsenal and Liverpool are at home, too
Manchester United's reward for beating city rivals City is an EFL Cup quarter-final match against West Ham.
Arsenal will play host to Southampton, while Liverpool host Leeds United and Newcastle go to Hull.
The last time the Red Devils played the Hammers in cup competition, it was in the FA Cup last season. It took a replay for Louis van Gaal's side to come through on that occasion, yet it paved the way to their success in the FA Cup.
However, West Ham's last League Cup meeting with the Old Trafford club ended emphatically in their favour, with a 4-0 win in 2010-11.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have lost their last three home League Cup ties against Premier League opponents - including a 2-1 reverse against Saints two years ago.

At this time of year huge numbers of wading birds descend on our shores in Britain to spend the winter months. They come in their thousands, none more so than the Knot. At least 300,000 of these birds are thought to over-winter here and a visit to any of our major estuaries will get you views of this lovely little wader. The photo above shows a small flock of these birds, although there are other species mixed in, can you spot them? (click on the photo to make it bigger)
Knot breed in the Arctic and those that we see in Britain and Ireland mostly breed in Arctic Canada. They arrive in August and then start to make they way back in May. The oldest Knot survived for over 16 years. A useless piece of information is, that they are supposed to be named after King Canute (or Knut to give him his proper name), he of the turning back the tides fame, because of their tendency to be seen on the shoreline. Other birds are to be seen on the shore, so I don`t really know why the Knot was chosen?
Another bird that arrives on our shores is the humble Dunlin. These birds do breed in Britain, some 9,500 pairs, but birds from Iceland, northern Europe and Russia arrive in the autumn to spend the winter in slightly warmer climes. These birds bring the wintering population to over 700,000 individuals.
A visit to any estuary during our colder months will give you fantastic views of large numbers of differing species, a very highly recommended day out. Go at high tide to give the best chance of close views, but when you are looking at flocks of several thousand, you don`t need to be too close to witness this spectacle of nature.

Investing in Natural Gas Futures on Commodity Exchanges
The most direct method of investing in natural gas is by trading futures contracts on one of the designated commodities exchanges. On the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), the preeminent exchange for energy products, you can buy and sell natural gas futures and options.
The natural gas (Nat Gas) futures contract is the second most popular energy contract right behind crude oil. Traded under the ticker symbol NG, it trades in increments of 10,000 MMBTU (1 MMBTU is equal to one million BTU). You can trade it during all the calendar months, to periods up to 72 months after the current month.
The NYMEX offers a mini version of this contract for individual hedgers and speculators. Check out the Nat Gas section of the NYMEX Web site for more on this contract.
Trading natural gas futures contracts and options is not for the faint hearted. Even by commodities standards, natural gas is a notoriously volatile commodity subject to wild price fluctuations. If you're not an aggressive investor willing to withstand the financial equivalent of a wild roller coaster ride, then natural gas futures may not be for you.

Side Effects of Refresh Eye Drops
Dry eyes can leave your eyes feeling itchy and looking red. The Refresh company offers eye drops to help combat chronic dry eye conditions and encourage your eyes to produce their own tears. When using Refresh eye drops, you may experience potential side effects. However, like most eye drop products, the beneficial effects of eye drops largely outweigh any negative effects, according to the Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute at the University of Arkansas.
Contact Lenses
All eye drop products can interact with the performance and accuracy of your contact lenses, warns the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. Allergan, manufacturer for Refresh, recommends taking out contact lenses before using its eye drop products.
Allergan reports that some users may experience a temporary burning feeling when using Refresh eye drops. The company states that this is the most common side effect experienced by consumers.
Blurred Vision
When you put eye drops in, the liquid coats your eye and can temporarily affect how things look. Allergan advises that you may experience blurred vision while using its product.
Allergan reports that some people may feel itching when using Refresh eye drops. Similarly, you may also feel a light stinging sensation or pain.
Although Refresh eye drops are designed to help alleviate irritation and redness related to dry eye conditions, Allergan reports that its eye drops may cause some redness themselves.

It's that time of year again…Halloween. To be honest, our family kind of lives under a rock when it comes to this holiday – we rarely dress the kids up, and if we do, we head to a church or school harvest party instead of trick or treating. I don't have any major issues with trick or treating or dressing … Read More

Exhaustion is weird and it hits you in waves. I haven't been sleeping much. My tiny guy is an all-night-sipper. He doesn't like the bottle and he really just wants to snuggle.

Oh my friends, the truth is: I'm tired. Something about this last week of gray days and my ever graying hair has kept me feeling a bit low. This whole up all night/up all day scenario is hard!

So, my husband just got back this Saturday from a two week whirl-wind trip to Taiwan for his best friend's wedding. I was here keeping the home fires burning and let's be clear what that means. Essentially it involves too much chocolate, tears, laughter, all my favorite songs on repeat, and a shameless desire to wear stretchy pants—Every. Single. Day. … Read More

Ageing are natural process that is occur in all people, as increasing age, disease was increasing. They need someone on their side, not only to support them when they are sick, but also to carry out their normal routines such as cooking, washing, cleaning, etc. In order to provide the support we have people and institutions that provide health care services senior care. But as people age, it may be difficult for them to accept that they cannot remain independent. Some will not even receive a stay at home health services to which they will provide the best care senior services. They do this because they do not want to accept the reality of aging and related issues. On the other hand, there are people who will need home care and cannot perform their normal activities without their help.
Senior care services provided by professionally trained nurses who help the elderly with activities of daily living such as bathing, toilet, cooking, laundry etc. Other medical practitioners such as physiotherapists can also be hired to care for older people. All of these services come at a cost and the minimum amount that they might be out probably varied per month. So, it is advisable to check the financial status and affordability of individuals who want to hire these services. Alternatively, there are insurance companies that will cover most of your expenses spent on the service. But make sure you hold a policy that has a cover for senior care services.
With a view to meet the growing needs of an aging society and due to increased awareness, there are many caregivers that have come to help the elderly. One can check the website for details as the services offered, price, location, etc. and decide the one that will meet the specific needs of a person.

The 'Colour your day' movement will take place Friday 22 March and is designed to lift New Zealand's spirits following these tragic events, with all funds raised being donated to the 'Our People, Our City' fund which will be used by the Christchurch Foundation to support the families and Muslim communities that have been affected by the tragic event.

Over the coming weeks we will work to understand how the ARFT impacts our cost base and determine the most appropriate way to pass this tax onto our customers. Once we have done that, we will communicate directly with you, ensuring we provide you at least 2 weeks' notice before passing this tax onto you.

It's likely that you can! To become a foster carer, your ability to care for and nurture a child is what really matters.
To qualify for fostering, you can be married, cohabiting or single and you may be a homeowner or tenant. We welcome applications from all ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds, sexual orientation and physical abilities.
If you're single, you'll need to be at home full-time or have flexible, part-time employment. If you're a couple, you'll need to arrange your working hours so that one of you is available at all times.

Facebook started as a way to connect with people online.
Humans have always connected with each other in person, but as the Internet came to the mainstream it offered a way for people to connect no matter where they were located in the world.
In the early days of the Internet it was common to see message boards and forums everywhere. People would build these forums usually around a common interest and others would join and have conversations just like in real life. Those message boards are still as popular as ever.
But about ten years ago or so Facebook went mainstream and brought the idea of social networking to the mainstream.
People Use Facebook To Stay In Touch With Family & Friends
A recent poll found that 73% of Facebook users use the site to stay in touch with friends and 83% use it to stay in touch with family. That makes sense. I don't use Facebook as much as others, but when I do use the network it seems that I do so to see what is going on with my family. And from the way I watch my family and friends using the network I can definitely see that it's the main reason they're using the site.
Grandparents can see updates about their grandchildren. Friends can see what each other are doing across the country or when they're traveling or getting their feet wet at a new job. It's a great way to stay in touch with those that are important to you.
Facebook & Getting The News
Facebook has kind of been a little bit about getting the news. The link above also delves into the idea that Facebook is a place where some people get their news and information. But the site is not as much about getting the news as it is about staying in touch with family and friends.
One poll found that 26% of adults get their news from Facebook sometimes. It's a little higher for a younger age group, but getting the news is not the main reason people use the site.
One interesting thing is that people that do get some of their news from social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) do primarily get it from Facebook. If they're going to get news from social media it's probably going to be from Facebook. And that makes sense since most people are using Facebook as their primary social site.
Fewer News Items On The Facebook Feed
One of Facebook's main goals is to make sure their users have a good experience on the site while getting the information they most want to get.
Since most people use Facebook to connect with friends and family it makes sense that most of the updates they see on the news feed is comprised of updates from family and friends and not news articles or other updates from brands and publishers.
So that's why Facebook is changing their feed again to lean more heavily on updates from family and friends.
Facebook has done this a number of times over the years. It always seems like they go in this direction where they try to provide more updates from family and friends. The result is that it's harder for brands and marketers to earn attention from an audience even if people have liked their pages.
You might like a business's page on Facebook, but the odds aren't very good that you'll see articles and blog posts they share on your main feed. You're more likely to see updates from friends and family and that's probably how it should be.
Getting Others To Share Your News
So what can you do to get more referral traffic from Facebook to your website?
The key is to get people to share your content.
You still want to share it. The more that people interact with your updates on the Facebook the more likely it is for their family and friends to see the updates.
But getting others to share your content is the real big key. They might re-share your update or they might grab the link from your article or blog post and post it on their Facebook wall. Facebook will still show it less often than they would if that person shared a photo, but it will still be shared with a good number of friends and family.
It varies, but the type of content that people often share from brands include:
- Videos & Photos
- How-to articles (videos too)
- <GIFs
- Fun and interesting list posts
- DIY ideas
- And more
Look at the walls of you followers and see what they're sharing. That will give you an idea for how you can get them to share your own content. Figure out what kinds of things they're sharing and tweak your content strategy appropriately.
Facebook is changing their feed – for good reason – but you can still get traffic from Facebook with the right kind of content and the right kind of approach to social media marketing.

School Playground Negligence
While it might be frightening to think about our children's teachers and supervisors as negligent, sometimes attention slips for a moment and the safety of children is put at risk. Many playground injuries among school children are preventable, but sometimes a teacher or administrator didn't give the kids enough attention or was otherwise negligent in watching them. You might be a parent in Massachusetts who has an injured child due to negligence at school, but the attorneys of Crowe & Mulvey, LLP know that you might qualify for financial compensation to help cover the costs of treating your child.
How a Supervisor Might be Negligent
Teachers or supervisors might be found to have been negligent in a number of ways when working on or near a school's playground. As only a few examples, negligence might consist of any of the following:
- Allowing kids to play with age-inappropriate equipment
- Allowing kids to play too roughly
- Not properly watching the kids' activities
These actions might all constitute negligence. Such an action might give you grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts, but an experienced attorney would first have to examine the particulars of your situation.
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney in Massachusetts
If you or someone you know has a child who was injured on the playground as a result of suspected negligence, then the attorneys of Crowe & Mulvey, LLP want to hear from you. You might qualify for financial compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. Learn more from us by calling our offices in Massachusetts at (617) 426-4488 today.

Heart to Heart to Win
I've decided to start this thread for stories that touch our hearts deeply. Since we've been discussing love on another thread it seems like a nice continuation of this theme. Sometimes it's easier to tell our stories about how that illusive something we call love has touched us than it is to narrow it down into some kind of dictionary type definition. Bottom line, apparently, is love "just is"...
Thanks to all you crazy diamonds who just continue to shine in the ever growing darkness of this world. Diamonds form under intense heat and pressure, and are incredibly durable and hard. Beautiful too. Something to think about.

Freedom and Jeff...
"Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby. When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks. This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day. We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington . We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even did a show about us.
In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair – the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again. Fast forward to November 2000 the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone. So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long . That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.
On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that. I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom."

Most of these are borrowed from Dialogue by Robert McKee (which I highly recommend and which I'm rereading at the moment). And some come from regurgitated stuff in my head—things I'd picked up from various sources over the years. You can argue that there is no such thing as perfect dialogue, but I'd argue back that as much as dialogue can be fluid and nebulous, it must have a form. It can fluctuate within that form, but without form it bogs down the narrative with melodrama (which stems from unclear character motivations) and other dialogue sins (info-dumps, on-the-nose talk, repetitiveness of arguments, inadvertent summaries, random interruptions, unfinished thoughts, etc.).
So. I created a cheat-sheet of sorts for myself which I'll share here with you and will bookmark for myself to return to when I feel like my dialogue sucks and I don't know how to fix it (which is almost every day).

Author: Iain Rice
Published: 2016
Format: Paperback, 120 pages
Status: In Stock
Creating Cameo Layouts by Iain Rice sets out to combine the modelling challenges with those of infrastructure and presentation to create a highly realistic, visually satisfying and self-contained model railway.
This style of well crafted small model layouts is described by the author as 'cameo'. Such a layout does not require a dedicated site, is easy to move and store, does not look out of place in the home and is a breeze to take to exhibitions. It is a natural for finescale wheel and track standards and high levels of detail, can be entertaining to operate and easy to maintain, calls only for a modest roster of equipment and can be made to run to a very high standard.
So this is a book for the modeller who relishes the opportunities and challenges offered by the small, self-contained layout as an objective in its own right, rather than a mere substitute for something larger.
The book contains many colour and black and white photographs, sketches and layout plans to accompany the extensive text. Iain Rice not only features his own superb cameo models but also utilises the work of other acclaimed modellers, such as Chris Nevard and Jerry Clifford, to illustrate what can be achieved, not only in 4mm scale but in other scales such as 2mm fine scale.

The Time Will Come
The Time Will Come
Christians need to be aware of the growing number of false teachings in many churches. In an effort to be politically correct and increase their membership, there are church leaders who are very willing to compromise God's word so they can become popular. Often their church emphasis is more on providing church activities than on preaching God's truths of salvation. They usually don't mention sins, preferring to not offend anyone.
That is totally opposite of how Jesus and His followers spread God's word. They strongly pointed out sins and the dire consequences of Judgment Day. Not only that, but the early church did not provide fun activities for every age level. People came and listened to them in order to learn God's word and the promises of forgiveness and eternal life for all who believed in Jesus' salvation. Learning God's word was their top priority.
It's different today as Paul prophesied in 2 Timothy 4:3,
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires.
That "time" is here. People want liberal teachings — no mention of sin — activities of every sort — and comforting pats on the back — not to mention a good looking church they can be proud of. They are puffed up with self-righteousness as no one dares to point out their flagrant sins. Maybe they imagine that when people don't mention their sins, God will not mention them either. But, Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 5:24,
The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after.
God is righteous and just. Those who confess their sins and change their ways by faith in Jesus alone are the ones who are forgiven and able to enter heaven. Those who hide their sins and continue in them will be eternally judged for their stubborn evils.
Thankful for God's eternal word in this "time" of testing, we say, "Hallelujah! LORD, thank You for opening our hearts and minds to the beauty of Your eternal truths."
A Christian devotional to glorify the LORD of lords and GOD of gods.
Pray for our country.
… Handel's Hallelujah Chorus …
The LORD made this day, let us rejoice and be glad in Him.
Psalm 118:24
The word of the LORD is tried;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Psalm 18:30
Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.

Match.com Review
The best overall online dating siteI've tried about every dating site you can imagine. Dating usually isn't easy, whether it's online or off, but Match.com made it more fun and easy than any other site I've tried. They have millions of members – just about any kind of person you could be looking for. They have good search functions, and it's easy to send someone a message, and set up a date. I think it's hard to go wrong with Match.com.
Many long-time readers of my online dating tips are experts when it comes to Match.com. But, for the newcomers to the online dating world, I thought I'd write a match.com review for what happens to be my favorite dating site. Sure, there are plenty of other dating sites that have their selling points: eHarmony is very practical, with a sophisticated personality test, OkCupid has lots of hipsters on it, various niche sites like JDate cater to certain interests, but Match.com has a great combination of millions of eligible singles, and easy-to-use features.
How Match.com Works
Match.com seems like your basic "search and pick" online dating site. You can set up a profile, upload photos, and start running searches on singles in your area. But, they've been at this for a long time. The site was founded back in 1995! I remember, I even made my first Match.com profile way back in 2004.
The benefit of this is that Match.com has had plenty of time to work on their technology and improve all sorts of algorithms to look at what you've said that you want in your profile, whose profiles you're looking at, and who you're messaging, and from that they can tell who is going to interest you, and who is going to be interested in you.
If they think there's someone who is going to like you, they're going to get your profile in front of him or her. And if there's anyone they think you're going to like, they're going to get his or her profile in front of you.
What's in a Match.com profile?
There are tons of things in a Match.com profile. This way, no matter what you're particular about, whether it's eye color, height, religion, or pets, you can search for someone who suits your preferences.
What can you search for on Match.com?
The most basic things that you can search for on Match.com are age range, distance from where you live, and whether they have photos. Just running a search like this will likely bring you hundreds of eligible matches in your area.
But, if you want to get more specific, you can run an advanced search on anything that can be put in a profile: height, body type, salary, education – anything.
How to contact Match.com members
There are tons of ways that you can contact members on match.com.
- Messages: Match.com messages are where the real contact and most of the date planning gets done.
- Winks: This is just a simple way to show someone you're interested. Typically, match.com winks aren't so good for guys to do.
- Instant Messages: Just like the Instant Messaging you do over AIM, GTalk or MSN Messenger. You can chat in real-time with matches who are online.
- "Likes": You can "like" photos that you see in someone's profile.
- DateSpark: You can post a date idea on your profile, such as "go to a Cubs game and eat ice cream." Matches can send you a message about your idea, or just "Like" your idea.
- matchPhone: You can make calls and texts with matches without giving out your number. This can keep your experience safe, and your private information confidential.
- DailyMatches: Match uses your profile preferences and search behavior to pick a bunch of matches to send to you each day. You can simply say "yes" or "no" to them. They'll be notified if you say "yes," so it's a good idea to send them a message afterward.
- Who's Viewed Me: If you're a paid subscriber, you can see who has viewed your profile. If they've viewed your profile, they're probably interested! You can go around viewing profiles trying to get noticed, too. I call this "the who's viewed me shuffle."
Stir Events
In 2012, Match.com launched Stir events, which allow singles to meet face-to-face in happy hours, speed-dating type events, and numerous activities such as dance lessons, cooking lessons, and outings to baseball games. These provide a great way for you to get out of the house and meet some singles without having to deal with all of the messaging.
Mobile App
In addition to the fully-featured Match.com website, match also has mobile apps for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Palm, and many other phones. This is incredibly handy, because you can get instant alerts anytime someone "winks" at you or sends you a message. You can search for matches while you're riding the bus, and flirt with winks and sending messages.
Facebook App
You can install the Match.com Facebook app, which will allow you to search for members from within Facebook. The coolest thing about this is that it will create Facebook notifications within Facebook to tell you when someone has winked at you or messaged you. If you're worried about revealing your identity, don't, the Match.com Facebook app won't reveal your name.
How much does Match.com cost?
Match.com is one of the more affordable of the really popular dating sites out there. If you're buying a 6 month membership, it can be as little as around $15 a month. I have more details on pricing on the post "How Much Does Match.com Cost?"
But, DON'T PAY TOO MUCH. I have match.com promo codes available that can save you 20% off match.com. Or, you can get a match.com free trial.
Is Match.com for you?
With all of the great features that Match.com has, and all of the singles there are on the site, it's really hard to go wrong with Match.com. Whether you're looking for short-term dating, friends, or even marriage, you'll find someone looking for the same thing.
The only cases where I'd say you might want to try something else are:
- If you're a super practical person who doesn't care so much about physical attraction as you do about personality compatibility, you'd be better off trying sites that match you based upon personality such as Chemistry or eHarmony. Match is great for finding someone you're attracted to, but these sites specialize in personality – though they make it more difficult to search through matches to find someone you're attracted to. I've written a special Match.com vs. eHarmony comparison if you're stuck deciding between the two.
- If you have some very specific preferences that make it so that match.com doesn't have the dating pool you're looking for, you may want to try a specialty site. For example, people looking to date within specific religions may be better off checking out a site suited to that religion. One example is JDate, which is for Jewish Dating.
Don't pay too much: use my Match.com promo codes for a discount
Match.com is great and well worth the money, but why pay too much if you don't have to? Save big money with my Match.com promo codes.

The biggest myth about Israeli politics
It's tempting to believe that non-politicians are the antidote to bad politicians, but it's also wrong. In 2011, the Israeli pop singer Roni Superstar released a song called "Adoni" — literally "my lord," or colloquially, "sir." For sarcastic overtones, "His highness" will also do. Here is my free translation: "His Highness will tell me what he knows/ His Highness will make sense of what I ought to think… His Highness wishes to be Prime Minister… His Highness thinks he is so smart…" The otherwise banal song kept surfacing in my mind during the last election cycle. Something about it seemed apposite.…Read More... | 10 Comments

International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language
Linking, developing and supporting English Language Teaching professionals worldwide
As a charity we are always looking for volunteers and trustees who can support our aims to link, develop and support English Language Teaching professionals around the world. We require anyone in a volunteer role to be an individual, fully paid up member of IATEFL. Certain roles require you to have been a member for a certain period of time to ensure you have a good working knowledge of the Association. The eligibility criteria will always be explained in the call for nominations.
If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, here are some questions you might want to ask yourself first:
Note: Volunteering may also require travel and accommodation. IATEFL can reimburse these costs, within our current limits.
If you want to proceed please look out in our eBulletin and other communications for a Call For Volunteers, or contact your SIG Coordinator.
IATEFL is a registered charity and limited company, with a subsidiary trading company. Elected trustees of the charity also act as Directors of the Company and of its trading subsidiary, IATEFL Trading Ltd and thus share joint responsibility with the other Trustees for the charity's sound running, including financial responsability, according to its aims and statutes. The Board of Trustees meets three times a year or more often if necessary, and includes the eight directors of the Association (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Associates' Representative, SIG Representative, and the Chairs of the Electronics Committee and the Membership Committee). The Board of Trustees is responsible for the running of the Association and is the supreme policy-making body of the Association. Trustees are expected to attend these meetings and to take part in the thinking and decision‑making process.
All Directors and Trustees must:
IATEFL expects all Directors and Trustees to be familiar with IATEFL policies and in particular, our code of conduct.
A good Director and Trustee:
1) pursues the Charity's objects or purposes, as set out in its governing document;
2) uses its assets exclusively to pursue those aims;
3) acts in the interests of its beneficiaries;
They should also:
1) take an active part in the charity;
2) avoid conflict with personal interests;
3) not profit from the role unless it has been authorised.
IATEFL is run by an office employing 9 full-time staff headed by a Chief Executive, currently Jon Burton. One of the principal functions of the office is to carry into effect policies made by the Association's seven Executive Committees. These Committees are responsible for the Associates, the Annual Conference, Finance, Publications, SIGs, Electronics and Marketing and Membership.
Expenses for attending Committee meetings and the Annual Conference are reimbursed, in line with the set allowances. At the same time, Directors and Trustees of the Association are expected to travel by the most economical means possible. If resident overseas the Trustee should be able to attend meetings in the UK at a reasonable cost. This could mean that they might be in the UK sufficiently frequently on other business, e.g., for exam boards, publishers' meetings, institutional business, etc., or that fares are sufficiently cheap from their location. All expenses details are available on request.
The Association does all in its power to keep demands on its Directors and Trustees' time as limited as possible through the support of an excellent staff and full-time professionals. Our experience is that many institutions regard having a Trustee and Director of the Association in their employ a source of considerable pride.
When a position is due to become vacant on the Board of Trustees, a call for nominations goes out to all IATEFL members. Only current, fully paid up, individual members (not institutional or Associations) are eligible to stand. Proposers/Seconders and Nominees must be fully paid-up individual members of IATEFL.
Checklist for applicants – who must be current individual IATEFL members:
NB All forms must be returned to Jon Burton, IATEFL, 2-3 The Foundry, Seager Road, Faversham, ME13 7FD, Kent, UK or emailed to [email protected]
If you are thinking of offering to serve, or if you have any questions, please feel free to e‑mail the IATEFL President, ([email protected]). Alternatively, write to Jon Burton, Chief Executive, at IATEFL, No 2-3 The Foundry, Seager Road, Faversham, Kent ME13 7FD, UK.

Your Executive Committee (EC) looks forward to 2019 with lots of energy, ideas and initiative. We are stepping-up efforts to add new members and grow the community in 2019.

A Memorial Day picnic, in collaboration with the American Women's Club of Zurich, is being planned for 2019. We are also exploring new collaboration opportunities (cultural, social, financial, professional, etc.) with select organizations around Switzerland that have an affinity to our club's vision and mission. Thanks again for being a part of our community! 'Fellowship, Friendship, and Service' continue to be our motto as we bring English-speaking people of all nations together while appreciating our ties and relationship with the Swiss local community.

Whew! I got my gift done in time for our Christmas lunch. I didn't get really creative this year, thinking a table runner is always useful.
Peggy brought this hat for me to wear. I have a bit of a grinch attitude when it comes to Christmas so this hat magically filled me with Christmas spirit.
Andra is the hostess this year and has set a beautiful table for our lunch.
Actually, her entire house is decorated for Christmas, even the bedrooms! When we arrived, we had to guess the theme of each room, based on a Christmas carol or poem. One room was filled with angels for "Hark the Harold Angels Sing."
Fortified with Karen's home-made egg nog, we opened gifts. This year the exchange was quite civil. Usually we "steal" coveted gifts according to an ordered system of selection but all in a good natured game that makes it more fun.
I started out with the Ott Light from Donna but ended up with the great "Chubby Charmer" bag made by Ginger, which I put to good use.
It's so nice to enjoy good food, great friends and favorite traditions. Merry Christmas to all!

National Youth Science Camp
The National Youth Science Camp is a residential science education program for young STEM enthusiasts the summer after they graduate from high school. Students from around the country (two are selected to represent each state and Washington, D.C.) are challenged academically in exciting lectures and hands-on studies, and have voluntary opportunities to participate in an outdoor adventure program, gain a new and deep appreciation for the great outdoors, and establish friendships that last a lifetime.
- Inspire lifelong engagement and ethical leadership in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and related fields among delegates, who possess recognized high potential for follow-through and success.
- Provide engaged learning opportunities in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and related professions that extend and enhance the traditional K-12 school curriculum.
- Develop a robust network among delegates, members of the program staff, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics professionals reinforced through community and shared experiences.
- Develop at a particularly prescient time in participants' developmental preparation for careers in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and related professions an increased awareness and understanding of current education, research, and career opportunities they might pursue.
- Create a safe environment for expanding delegates' comfort zones with scientific and cultural aspects of the natural world through outdoor adventure activities including backpacking, mountain biking, spelunking, and rock-climbing.
The National Youth Science Camp is made possible through the planning and fund-raising of the National Youth Science Foundation, a nonprofit organization with a mission to honor, sustain, and encourage youth interest and excellence in science by conducting comprehensive informal science education programs that provide opportunity for constructive interaction with others and emphasize the social value of thoughtful scientific careers.
The National Youth Science Camp program is strengthened through a philosophy that encourages delegates to experience each day by day. This philosophy permits the Staph* to plan numerous special events that surprise the participants. This philosophy also encourages the delegates to give undistracted attention to guest presenters. The National Youth Science Camp does not, therefore, publish detailed program calendars.

Web of Trust Extension
I have just added one new extension to my Firefox browser. This extension will try to help you decide whether the site you visited is safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. It's called WOT (Web of Trust).
How does it work? Simple. Anybody can download the extension and after that, they can give ratings to sites they visited. Those ratings are gathered around the world and it will be visible to other people who uses the WOT extensions on their browser. So, it's a collaborative project as well. Everybody contributed to this project by giving their rating based on their experience with specific sites. Up to the time i wrote this, they have scanned 20,378,973 sites and it keeps growing over time.
This extension is available for IE users as well, so i think they have made a good job to make it works on Windows system as well (for those who can't live without IE )
Check their demo site to see how it works and if you are interested, go download it
1 comment:
Thank you for recommending WOT to your readers. Internet security is a major issue these days, and the WOT community works hard to make the web safe for everyone.ReplyDelete
Safe surfing,
Web of Trust

Welcome! You are looking at the latest pictures taken by the webcams on the roof of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock.
Do you want to know more about our building? Take a round tour. We also invite you to learn about who we are and how we conduct demography research.
This webcam is looking east from the MPIDR roof along the Warnow River. Rostock´s historic habor can be seen in the background. For a long time the "Georg Büchner" was situated here. On May 28, 2013 the ship left Rostock
This webcam is looking northwest from the MPIDR roof along the Warnow River in the direction of the Baltic Sea. Right: Rostock´s Gehlsdorf district. Following the Warnow downstream, a boater would pass the Park der Internationalen Gartenbauausstellung on the right, and would soon reach the Baltic resort town of Warnemünde.
