Pinterest – An In Depth Look at the Stats
There's no big surprise to social media fans that Pinterest is blowing up. It's recently become a site that has traffic in the top 100 sites on the web, and rumors have it valued around $200m. That's a lot for a company that doesn't have much revenue. But just how engaged are the users that use the service? The folks over at RJMetrics put together a rigorous report to find out.
RJMetrics simply did some scraping to analyze a series of users by looking at their "Pin" boards over time, and see how they'd engaged. They found some pretty incredible statistics, including the following.
- Pinterest is retaining and engaging users as much as 2-3x as efficiently as Twitter was at a similar time in its history.
- Pins link to a tremendously large universe of sites. Etsy is the most popular source of pin content, but it only represents about 3% of pins.
- Over 80% of pins are re-pins, demonstrating the tremendous virality at work in the Pinterest community. To contrast, a study done at a similar time in Twitter's history showed that only about 1.4% of tweets were retweets.
- The quality of the average new user (as defined by their level of engagement and likelihood to remain active) is high but declining. Users who have joined in recent months are 2-3x less active during their first month than the users that came before them.
There's a lot more in the report, including a breakdown of the various sources of pins and the breakdown of how many people actually use the pinmarklet versus just repin other's content. There's also a detailed cohort analysis which looks at various groups of users that joined the site and their behavior over the first twelve months of use of the site. They find that the earlier users are the power users, but that most cohorts have stayed engaged on the site.
Head over and take a look at the report and let us know what you think.

A Surprise Visit from the New New Age
- Posted on
- By Andrew Mackie
A big thanks to Stephen Hotchkiss from The New New Age for stopping in this weekend for an impromptu tea demonstration.
If you've been in our store recently, you've probably noticed their tea on our shelves. White packaging. Bold illustrations. Distinct recipes. Stephen is an herbalist based in southern Ontario and he and his wife Katie have created their own special blends of Organic and Wildcrafted herbal teas that you just have to try.
Visitors and passersby were treated with delicious samples of hot tea, demonstrations and instructions, and stories from their newly founded boutique/café in Port Stanley, ON and from their nearby farm.
Obviously, if you're ever traveling Ontario, The New New Age is a must see. Their shop is set on a picturesque street in a charming beach town on Lake Erie, surrounded by galleries and boutiques. They've only been open a few weeks, and have already caught the attention of Ontario foodies and local celebrities, such as fashion icon Jeanne Beker and chef Michael Smith. They serve farm-to-table selections from the surrounding area, their own elixirs, teas and fresh pressed juice, house made chocolate, and, of course, vegetables, herbs, nuts, honey and berries from their own farm. And if you can talk them into a tour of the farm… it's an absolutely spectacular walk through fields, farm-scale permaculture, and native Carolinian forest.
If you missed this weekend's demo, and if you can't make it to Ontario anytime soon, the next best thing is to grab some of their unique tea blends from us here at Goldgrass Home!

Canned soups from Campbell's, one of the world's leading soup brands, have long been used in recipes for non-soup dishes. Because it comes in condensed form, it makes a suitable base for many sauces and gravies. In fact, one of the best ways to cook pork chops is using Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. If you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, you can create your own variations on the theme by adding other vegetables, herbs and spices. If you want to stick with something basic, though, this is what we recommend.
Heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in a pan over a medium-high heat.
Add four pork chops and continue to cook over a medium-high heat. Coating the pork chops in flour if you'd like.
Turn over the chops when browned, and repeat for the reverse side.
Add 1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup and 1/4 cup of water to the chops, once browned, stir over a low heat.
Continue to cook the pork chops in the sauce until the meat is tender and cooked through. Enjoy!
Instead of cooking the sauce on the stove, mix it in a pot or casserole dish, add the browned chops, and cook for 25 to 45 minutes in an oven heated to 350 degrees F. Add extras such as chopped onions and herbs, if you wish.

Yesterday I began a journey through boxes of personal artifacts that I have kept with me because I am fond of them. There are also a lot of things that I've kept "just in case." Today I brought a small bit to work to leave by the mailboxes for people to scoop. I will probably bring in a few things each day, but most things, I'm sure, will end up in a landfill.
How much baggage do you have? How much do you carry? I have consciously tried to lug less with me to work each day. I don't want to be confused with a bag lady, and I tore up a shoulder one day falling in the dark while carrying two bags on my way to catch theBus one early morning a few years ago.
I have come to the conclusion that those people who cannot let go of their items lock themselves into a prison in their mind and in their past. They hoard their belongings, they enslave themselves.
You see them on the street with shopping carts and crates loaded with stuff. You hear about them when they die and their bodies are found beneath piles of crap; that a tower of old newspapers or magazines fell on them.
Since I am a journalist, I have quite a few newspaper and magazine clips that I have accumulated over the years. There are multiple copies of some, leftover from past resume kits. I am having a hard time parting with them. I even found a folder of data from when I flew with the Hurricane Hunters into Iniki. Keep? Discard? Scatter into the wind?Fortunately there is the Internet and a lot of my stories can be found with a quick search. And, when you think about it, older stories too often betray how green a writer I actually was. Hmmmm. See how this eases their disposal?
So today I parted with a shiny new sake set in a gift box, a Sponge Bob hat, an oil and vinegar cruet set, yoga and Pilates DVDs, and a bag of Crayola unopened packages of washable markers, sparkly glue, crayons and stickers. Within 20 minutes all that was left were the DVDs. See that? One woman's artifacts quickly adopted, soon to be put to use, no longer left to idle in a box, on a shelf, in a room where nobody goes.
P.S. I truly miss blogging daily. I am compelled. I must start again.

What was supposed to be a double header got relinquished to a five-hour-delayed single game following non-stop rain. Zack Wheeler and the Mets didn't seem to let it phase them though as they blew out the Marlins 13-0.
Wheeler pitched one of the best games of his career, tossing eight scoreless innings Other than a rocky seventh inning that followed a high scoring Mets turn, Wheeler was dominant all night. Wheeler blew threw the first six innings in very efficient fashion and then got into a jam in the seventh. The Marlins threatened with three singles (and a Tomas Nido dropped popped up didn't help) but Wheeler induced a double play to end the inning and strand the bases loaded. That inning padded what had been a ridiculously low pitch count, but Wheeler still finished with just 89 pitches on the night. Given that the Marlins had three nobodies slated to bat in the ninth, he would have had a great shot at a complete game shutout. But, such things aren't valued anymore in the modern era and so Manager Mickey Callaway opted to bring in Paul Sewald to close it out with a mop-up inning.
Interesting to note, Sewald seems to have dropped his arm slot a notch and seems to be coming completely side arm now instead of 3/4. It seemed to help him keep the ball low, so perhaps there will be a second life to this kid.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Mets remembered that Jacob deGrom wasn't pitching and beat up on Trevor Richards, and then reliever Ben Meyer too. The Mets jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning courtesy of a Jose Reyes RBI double, a fielding error, and then a Jeff McNeil triple. Then in the fourth, Amed Rosario blasted a three-run home run to put the lead at 6-0, but the Mets weren't done. In the sixth inning they blew it wide open with an RBI single by McNeil, then a grand slam by Jay Bruce and a two-run home run by Dominic Smith.
It was a rare blowout win for the Mets. Too bad there were only a few hundred or so fans left in the stands following a five-hour rain delay to see it. The series concludes at 3:10 pm today with a double header featuring Steven Matz and Jason Vargas vs. Sandy Alcantara and Jeff Brigham. The two Marlins starters have just three career starts between them, though watch Alcantara – he's going to be a star.
Several bits of Mets news were announced during the lengthy rain delay…Jay Horwitz, the Mets VP of Media Relations, was honored with a ceremony as it was announced that he will transition into a new role as VP of Alumni Public Relations and Team Historian…Peter Alonso was named the Sterling Minor League Player of the Year…Beginning next year the Mets radio broadcasts will move up the dial from WOR 710 AM to WCBS 880 AM…Finally, an organizational announcement will be coming today regarding the plans for David Wright.

Translator: Yorasu Editor: Yorasu
After half an hour, though Su Hao finally managed to escape the pinch, he was in a sorry state. His clothes were in a mess as if he was a girl who had just been humiliated.
This hunting plan, officially failed!
He had tried this tactic several times and everytime there were no exceptions. Whenever a berserk red jackal had fallen by his shot, the rest of the group would charge madly at him.
It was enough to kill him several dozen times over.
Fortunately, Su Hao had remembered this terrain by heart. If not, if he were to run into dead ends, obstructions or in the territory of a strong beast, he really did not know how he would cope.
"Fuck, how much hatred do you have? Going such lengths for revenge. Each one of them was as if they had consumed aphrodisiac."
Su Hao cursed and then had a very strange idea. Aphrodisiac?
No matter what kind of drug he used, there would never be a way to prevent oneself from being attacked by berserk red jackal. However, seems that you can use it in another way….
Su Hao's eyes shined and finished today's trip.
When he arrived back to the city, Su Hao sold the fangs in his possession. With the money he gained from the sale, he bought a lot of lime powder, accelerating agents, dyeing agent, temperature equipment and lots of pheromones. He took the whole night to study deeper about the characteristics of berserk red jackals. The following day, he visited the location of the berserk red jackal's nest again.
After he found a small group of berserk red jackals, Su Hao hid himself within the trees nearby.
"Model analysis–activate!!!"
In his mind, the scene changed. A berserk red jackal's mini-model appeared in the middle of his mind. After Su Hao remembered every detail carefully, Su Hao returned back to reality and readied himself to start his plan.
Su Hao's hand's movement was extremely fast in executing all the procedures. Slowly forming the shape he wanted, Su Hao inserted the temperature equipment into it. Very soon, a berserk red jackal was created.
Yes, what Su Hao did right now was the essence of model analysis–constructing a model!
This is not like the usual model within his mind; constructing a virtual model according to the target data analysis but a real model! Fortunately, although Su Hao did not have much contact about this skill, he was able to get work started easily after comprehending the procedures for the whole night.
With his origin ability [Model Analysis], creating a model was definitely an easy task.
After finishing the base structure, Su Hao began the dyeing process. He did not have to pay too much attention on the details. As long as it looked like a real one, it should be fine. Soon, a lifelike berserk red jackal was born.
"Not bad." Su Hao nodded with satisfaction. This time, he had considered a lot of factors. Even the temperature of a berserk red jackal was taken into account too. Thus, halfway through the process, he placed a tool which would allow him to control the temperature.
After completion, Su Hao used the accelerating agent so that this model can quickly condense and form the shape. Finally, on the outer surface, he covered it with pheromones.
A female's pheromone, a kind of scent which would arouse and stimulate the berserk red jackal. After he sprinkled it on top of the model, he then placed it at an easily noticeable location.
A breeze flew past. The wind mixed with the pheromones started to drift towards the closest group of berserk red jackals.
The group had only 7 berserk red jackals. Only three reacted to the smell. They looked at the berserk red jackal at a distance away as if they had seen a peerless beauty. They began to get excited and rushed to the direction of the model at a high speed.
Those three red jackals were getting faster and faster. Soon, they were closing in on the model.
Behind the model, there were some small trees. Su Hao was hidden among them. Taking out his small bow, he began to aim at the fastest red jackal and shot!
Once the arrow was fired, a berserk red jackal fluttered for a moment and then dropped to the ground.
The other two immediately halted their movements. Once they saw Su Hao, they began to recognize an unknown smell. Without further ado, they began to rush over madly.
Su Hao looked at the two red jackals with an icy gaze. Without any fear, he pulled out his bow, took aim, and shot!
A berserk red jackal had been hit by the arrow. Its whole body began to feel weak and dropped to the ground. The other one pounced with its mouth open wide, wanting to bite his throat.
Su Hao noticed that the threat was getting close to him and started to move forward and crouched at the last moment. Just like that, the red jackal leaped over his head. Taking this opportunity, Su Hao raised his small bow and shot at it.
An arrow shot out. The recoil coupled with his unstable footing pushed him to the ground. As for the final red jackal, it was weakly lying on the ground.
Su Hao sighed. He excitedly stepped forward to slit their throats, confirming they were killed. After finishing them, he began to harvest the fangs.
Another breeze blew past. The heavy bloody odor began to spread. At the distant hillside, the remaining four berserk red jackals raised their heads. Their whole body began to show sign of alertness.
Su Hao began to feel a crisis. Those sensitive nose's of the berserk red jackals can also smell this?
In this urgent situation, Su Hao immediately changed his plan. He jumped out from his hiding spot and stood at the right side of the model. Facing their direction, he began to shot the arrow.
A berserk red jackal had been hit and crumpled down to the ground.
The remaining three began to howl. They instantly dashed forward. Su Hao, who was lacking any time to prepare, threw the model he created towards their direction.
With the model with exact size as a real berserk red jackal was being thrown, the three rushing red jackals were caught and rolled over the ground together with the model. It was obvious they were startled by it and could not figure out what was happening.
It was another sharp arrow being fired. Yet another berserk red jackal dropped to the ground.
At this point, the model hit on a huge rock and kacha! It was broken into several pieces. The remaining two red jackals were furious and madly rushed towards Su Hao.
This time it was very close, only about 1.5 meters away from Su Hao, he shot an arrow and killed one of them. He quickly turned his body to face the remaining berserk red jackal who was rushing towards him.
The current him, who had hunted numerous berserk red jackals, he had a lot of experience facing a lone red jackal. Very easily, it was beheaded by Su Hao!
Without a group, it was never a threat to him at all.
After finishing the last berserk red jackal, Su Hao did not relax even for a bit. He quickly pulled out the fangs. Once the beheading and the fang extracting process was done, he immediately left the scene.
Just now, the berserk red jackal's keen sense of smell nearly ruined his plan. He naturally would not repeat the same mistake again.
It was a sure thing that after departure of Su Hao, a group of berserk red jackal passed through the scene. After tracking the smell, they finally arrived at the scene of the fight. Noticing the bloody scene, they started howling in succession. The surprising part was that they began to track down the route taken by Su Hao when he left. While sniffing with their nose, they began to gradually catch up with Su Hao.
Humans had the wisdom of mankind. Berserk red jackal's had their own wisdom too.
Su Hao, hearing the howls, was sure he made the right decision. If he did not leave the scene as fast as he could, he really did not dare imagine how was he going to survive.
Berserk red jackals are good in tracking. If not, how could Su Hao be chased by them for a few miles yesterday.
Thus, today, Su Hao would not give them even a slight chance. He directly headed back to the city. As for the berserk red jackals, even if you give them the courage of dragons, they would still not dare come close to the city gate of Jianghe city.
Once Su Hao stepped into the city, he was finally able to let out a sigh of relief.
Every time he stepped outside the city, his heart would be alarmed. Whenever he was returning to the city, the dense bloody odor surrounding him could attract any random berserk beast.
Once he reached home, Su Hao washed himself and started to count his harvest for the day.
Although the process seemed easy, Su Hao was very clear that each step carried a huge risk. If there was even a slight misstep, he could be killed instantly. With his current physical condition, if he was pincer attacked by two berserk red jackals, he would definitely die without a doubt!
However, through strategy, a group with a total of seven berserk red jackals was cleanly swept by Su Hao.
On the other hand, his profits were close to nothing! Berserk beast pheromones and the other materials he needed to build the model weren't cheap. After using up the materials to build the model, in Su Hao's possession, there were only 14 fangs left.
In order to buy the materials for the model, he had sold exactly 14 fangs. Besides keeping one for his self defense, he sold off the rest of them!
It could be said that Su Hao had spent on countless of stuff and wasted a few days of his time. Yet, the profit was still zero.
Regarding this, Su Hao could only smile bitterly, "No wonder nobody had managed to finish this task till now, this is really…."
Fortunately, he was not aiming for the reward.
"Before this I collected 15 fangs, adding up the 7 new fangs, there are still 8 fangs left." Su Hao calculated silently in his heart and prepared to take a break.
With the first hunting experience gained, Su Hao was getting more skilled during the second time. There were no unnecessary actions. He saved up a lot of the consumption and went straight for the objective.
Eight more fangs. However, a team with eight berserk red jackals, Su Hao did not dare to go near them at all.
Yesterday, he was walking on top of a tight rope. If there was an additional berserk red jackal, he would definitely be overwhelmed.
While slowly and cautiously wandering in the woods, Su Hao would occasionally stick out his head and observe the abandoned outskirts hoping that there were a group of red jackals passing by.
After Su Hao finished building the model, he was hidden in the dark and only revealed a pair of bright eyes. Until he found a team of seven berserk red jackals, Su Hao would lie in wait.
It was almost the same process as yesterday. But with yesterday's practice, he had an easier time slaughtering them. After easily finishing off the red jackals, he extracted their fangs and left the scene.
Back at the city, Su Hao once again exchanged for the materials with seven fangs. After cleaning himself and washing the strong bloody odor, he went out of the city again.
He only had one fang on him. As long as he met a small group or a lone wandering red jackal, he could easily complete the task.
However, that afternoon, luck was not on Su Hao's side. He waited for the whole afternoon and not even one small group of red jackal's could be found.
The smallest group he could find was eight of them!
Su Hao was actually tempted to try hunting them. At the very last moment he was able to endure the temptation.
When the sky started to turn dark, Su Hao quietly went back to the city.
He was very clear of his strength. Once it was over seven red jackals, it was out of his capability. Blindly rushing forward was not called being brave, but seeking your own death.

Metabolic Boosters for Fat Loss
I first tested this hypothesis several years ago when training a few fat loss clients and found it to be truly effective. Over the past several years I find myself coming back to it time and time again to get incredible fat loss results with clients.
The hypothesis is that by adding a set of a metabolic exercise after a superset of opposing muscle group strength movements we could increase the metabolic effect of the workout and get faster and greater fat loss from the clients. It seems simple, yet I rarely see it happening in the fitness world.
I first want start with outlining the problems with this method.
1) It is TOUGH! That may not seem like a problem for you, but for many of our clients that aren't used to pushing themselves into the realm of insanely physically uncomfortable this can be detrimental to their training. We don't want to scare people off because the workouts seem too challenging to complete. We usually wait until at least phase 3, if not phase 5, of their program to implement this type of training. That means they have completed 8-12 weeks of training with us before we attempt to tackle these brutal workouts.
2) The client/individual must be adequately prepared to perform these workouts. This really ties into the first issue, but it may not be obvious to some people reading. If the person performing the workout has corrective or movement issues we WILL NOT ask them to do this type of workout. We must correct the movement issues before starting this program.
3) There are only so many metabolic type exercises that we can perform and we don't want to over train any one. This can lead to overuse injuries due to the shear repetitive nature of the program. You might do 90 reps of an exercise in a workout. Pair that over the course of 4-6 weeks and the person planning the program has to pay close attention to the balance of the entire program.
4) The person will adapt to the workout, just like any other and this will become less effective over time. We use this for 4-6 weeks at the end of a 3-5 phase cycle of strength work that moves through different volumes and intensities. Ideally you could start a person in our phase 1 and move them to phase 5 ending with this type of program. When they complete this 4 week phase with metabolic boosters we would restart them at phase 3 and have them cycle through phase 3, 4, and 5 using different and progressive movements.
*It is important to note that a person will usually adapt to a rep scheme (4 sets of 8 reps) faster than they will the actual exercise or movement.
I honestly only need to outline one major positive factor with this type of program:
However, some of you need more.
1) It increases the work capacity of the individual which will only benefit them with current phase fat loss and also future program completion.
2) It elicits an amazing metabolic training effect (FAT BURNING) while also allowing the individual to work on strength to keep their lean muscle mass. This is an important factor in keeping your metabolism high while trying to burn fat.
3) The workouts can be completed quickly. With the short rest periods and metabolic emphasis these workouts usually take around 45 minutes. That is the perfect amount of time to get optimal results from a strength based program for fat loss.
4) We can change up the metabolic exercises each set, workout, or phase if needed to avoid boredom. I promise you that after doing 3 sets of 15 burpees at the end of each set for 6 sets you will be sick and tired of burpees. The results are not dependent on one or two exercises they come from the effect of the exercises.
When setting up this plan we follow our regular principles for designing a program.
We start with two core exercises or movements. These are completed as quickly as possible with as little rest as possible between the two exercises and between sets. We are focusing on our basics here- stability and stability with movement.
Some favorites- Plank variations (both front pillar and side pillar), Chops and Lifts, Rollouts, Anti Rotation Presses, Suspension training (knee tucks, pikes, saws etc.).
Once we have completed the core training we perform a single exercise set of an explosive or total body movement. My favorites here are Olympic lift variations, kettlebell movements, or complexes/combo movements.
Some Favorites- Hang Clean, Muscle Snatch, KB Snatch, KB Clean, KB Clean to Front Squat to Press, Turkish Get Ups, Barbell Complexes, Reverse Lunge + Cable Row, Squat to Press, DB Burpee + Curl to Press.
Now we get to the fun part! This is where the magic happens in the workout. This section of the program is designed to include strength supersets. We usually start with a unilateral (one sided) lower body paired with the opposite upper body movement. We pair split squat (quad dominant) with a row (upper body pull). We then pair a bilateral (two sided/leg) lower body to compliment the first exercise with the opposite upper body movement. So, a deadlift variation (hip dominant) with a push (either vertical or horizontal), such as a push up.
I really like starting the strength section with a unilateral lower body exercise for fat loss programs because of the time it takes to complete and the metabolic effect it creates when completing your bilateral lower body exercise. If you don't believe me try starting with rear foot elevated split squats and then moving to deadlifts in your second super set. You run into a whole new set of challenges.
I like this for another reason as well. We don't have to train the bilateral lift as heavy to get the same effect because of fatigue. Many times in this program you will be battling fatigue at the end of a workout and the last thing you want is incredible fatigue when deadlifting or squatting unless you are proficient in the technique. By fatiguing the muscles we can use a slightly lower load and still get the desired end result. This allows for the individual to maintain form and also remain safe during the final parts of the workout.
After you have figured out your program design for the strength super sets you will determine what metabolic exercises you will place at the end of each set to get the amazing fat loss results we are looking for with this type of program. When figuring out the volume for these exercises I usually take into account the exercises or movement itself and also the volume of the other lifts. For most metabolic exercises 15-20 is a great number, but for others we have to move into the 50-100 rep range.
Here are a few examples-
15-20 rep range- burpees, mountain climbers, jump squats, slams, bounds or any jump (might be less than 15), swings, sprints with bands or shuffles
50-100 rep range- jump rope, battling ropes, crawls, swings
You might notice that swings are on both lists. This is because it depends on the intensity of the swing and efficiency that each client has with the movement.
Those are a few examples of exercise choices and many of those have several variations. Personally I could jump rope, swing, burpees and do battling ropes all the time without getting bored and tired of the movements. I seem to recover well from these choices and can perform them at max intensity without worrying much about injury or aggravating a previous injury.
Here is an example workout start to finish:
1A – Two Point Plank x 20s each side x 3 Sets
1B – Feet Suspended Side Plank Variation- 30s each side x 3 Sets
As little rest as needed between exercises and Sets
Total Body:
2A – BB Complex – Muscle Snatch, Push Press, Front Squat, RDL, Bent Over Row x 6 reps each x 3 sets
30-60s rest between sets
3A- RFE Split Squat x 8each x 3 sets
3B – Chin Up x 8 x 3 sets
3C- Burpees x 15 x 3 Sets
30-60s rest between sets decreasing rest each week
4A- Trap Bar Deadlift x 8 x 3 Sets
4B- Spiderman Push Up x 8 x 3 Sets
4C- 50 Double Rope Waves – high frequency (small, fast waves) x 3 Sets
30-60s rest between sets decreasing rest each week
If you still need it complete a finisher of 15s work/15s rest Kettlebell swings for 8 rounds.
I am still fine tuning our beginner programs to include this same template but adding a metabolic booster to your workouts after each set has shown to drastically increase fat loss results!
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Deep Green Landscaping has been pioneering green walls in Western Australia and creating new possibilities for landscape, urban and interior design.
Vertical gardens, also known as living walls or green walls, are a recent innovative development in landscaping with a host of benefits. Vegetation is grown in specially designed systems that are supported vertically, creating exciting new possibilities for landscape, urban and interior design.
Deep Green has been pioneering vertical garden systems for specific application in Western Australia, with specialised lightweight growing media, automated direct reticulation methods and a palette of species specifically selected to be hardy, adaptable and aesthetically pleasing.
Our DG - 40LWP lightweight panel vertical garden system is an adaptable and high-performing vertical garden system ideal for confined spaces or surfaces with a limited weight loading. At just 40mm thick before being filled with media and plants, this highly versatile system can be fitted in the narrowest of spaces, yet with its specialist water retention fibre and planting pockets it is still capable of supporting lush vegetation growth.
Our DG - 140M modular vertical garden system is a robust and effective solution for providing vertical greening. Specially engineered to be capable of being planted on all sides, and featuring a unique water retention fibre, our systems are suitable for supporting lush vegetation growth with some of the lowest water requirements on the market.
Benefits of Vertical GardensTemperature - reduced ambient air temperature and load on air conditioning
Surface Area - increased available planting area, such as on fences and walls
Air Quality - absorbs dust, particulates and pollution, naturally filtering the air
Beautification - aesthetically pleasing views and microclimate near garden
Biodiversity - increased biodiversity values and micro habitat creation
The Biophilic ConnectionRecent research is proving that exposure to nature is innately healthy for people.
A landmark study by Kaplan & Kaplan found that patients recovered faster when able to view greenery from their hospital bed. Further studies are finding evidence for increased employee productivity and wellbeing when workers are kept in touch with nature. With our congested and highly developed urban centres it is becoming harder to introduce new areas of vegetation, but now with vertical gardens previously inert concrete walls can become havens for biodiversity - whilst lowering ambient air temperatures, absorbing pollution and dust particles and becoming aesthetic features in their own right. Further studies have shown how property values can be increased by providing views over vertical gardens versus blank concrete facades.
Irrigation & FertigationWater and nutrient management are critical in ensuring a successful and cost effective vertical greening system. Water management is one of the biggest challenges in vertical greening, especially in Western Australia's harsh climate. The specialist water retention fibre and drip irrigation water supply in our vertical garden systems make them one of the most efficient on the market. To ensure plants are healthy throughout the lifetime of the system, it is necessary to provide some form
of fertilisation, as the natural processes of litter accumulation and nutrient breakdown are not present. Our discreet and effective fertigation units are fitted directly into the reticulation system and provide appropriate nutrients directly into the plants root zone, providing optimal establishment and development with minimal intervention.

I have a passion for the teaching of sociology, which has been developed and refined over the pass decade and a half as a sociology instructor. My personal system of belief about how sociology should be taught, experienced and practiced has evolved from many sources. These sources are my cultural heritage, the scientific nature of sociology, the nature of society today and my desire for engaging students in process of learning. My reflection on current research and scholarship of teaching and learning has affected my teaching.
Overall I would say that my teaching is particularly motivated by a quest for critical literacy for my students and me. The grand goal is a learning experience in sociology that has high theoretical and methodological standards but also has clear applied dimensions rooted in the real world. Another goal is an experience that addresses specific individual and local concerns but demonstrate as well the global and diverse dimensions of modern society. Finally a sociology that is as serious, meaningful and relevant as it is enjoyable and empowering.

The National Attorneys General Training & Research Institute
Consumer Protection News January 2017
The following is a compendium of information that may be of interest to our AG offices who are dealing with consumer protection issues. Neither the National Association of Attorneys General nor the National Attorneys General Training & Research Institute expresses a view as to the accuracy of the matters, nor as to the position expounded by the authors of the hyperlinked materials.
Supreme Court of the United States
The United States Supreme Court has granted certiorari in the matter of Henson v. Santander Consumer USA, Inc., 16-349. The Court will resolve "[w]hether a company that regularly attempts to collect debts it purchased after the debts had fallen into default is a 'debt collector' subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act." The Fourth Circuit ruled it is not, holding it is a "creditor" that collects debt on its own account, as distinguished from a "debt collector" that collects debts owed to others.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
Four Attorneys General File Memo to Support Modified Settlement Terms of CFPB Enforcement Action
The attorneys general of Connecticut, Vermont, Indiana, and Kansas have filed a memorandum for a motion to intervene in a settlement between the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Sprint Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The motion seeks to modify the terms of the stipulated Final Judgment and Order to have the CFPB direct the remaining redress funds in the case to the National Association of Attorneys General to continue and complete the development of the National Attorneys General Training and Research Institute Center for Consumer Protection. Neither the CFPB nor Sprint opposes the intervention or modification.
Takata Corporation Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $1 Billion in Criminal Penalties for Airbag Scheme
Three Takata Executives Charged with Wire Fraud and Conspiracy
Tokyo-based Takata Corporation agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and pay a total of $1 billion in criminal penalties stemming from the company's fraudulent conduct in relation to sales of defective airbag inflators. An indictment was also unsealed charging three Takata executives with wire fraud and conspiracy in relation to the same conduct.
Takata has agreed to plead guilty to a one-count criminal information filed today in the Eastern District of Michigan charging the company with wire fraud. Under the terms of the agreement, Takata will pay a total criminal penalty of $1 billion, including $975 million in restitution and a $25 million fine. Two restitution funds will be established: a $125 million fund for individuals who have been physically injured by Takata's airbags and who have not already reached a settlement with the company and an $850 million fund for airbag recall and replacement costs incurred by auto manufacturers who were victims of Takata's fraud scheme. A court-appointed special master will oversee administration of the restitution funds. Takata has also agreed to implement rigorous internal controls, retain a compliance monitor for a term of three years, and cooperate fully with the department's ongoing investigation, including its investigation of individuals.
Order Issued Against Moneytree, Inc. for Allegedly Deceptive Online Advertisements
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued an order against Moneytree, Inc. for allegedly violating the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by misleading consumers with deceptive advertisements and collection letters. Under the terms of the order, Moneytree must pay $255,000 in refunds to consumers and a civil penalty of $250,000.
According to the CFPB, Moneytree allegedly advertised that consumers could cash their tax refund checks for "1.99" (without specifying that the fee was 1.99% of the cashed check and not $1.99), sent collection letters that misled consumers to believe their vehicles could be repossessed if they failed to make past-due payments on installment loans, and failed to obtain preauthorization prior to withdrawing funds from consumers' bank accounts.
Consumer Experiences With Debt Collection
The CFPB has released a report, Consumer Experiences With Debt Collection: Findings From the CFPB's Survey on Consumer Views on Debt. This report presents the results of the Survey of Consumer Views on Debt, which was conducted by the CFPB between December 2014 and March 2015 to better understand consumers' experiences and preferences related to debt collection.
Snapshot of Older Consumers and Student Loan Debt
The CFPB has also released its snapshot of older consumers and student loan debt. The number of consumers age 60 and older with student loan debt has quadrupled over the last decade in the United States, and the average amount they owe has also dramatically increased. This Snapshot describes the increasing burden of student loan debt on older consumers, as well as the impact that the increased debt burden is having on older borrowers' financial security.

Federal Trade Commission
FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez resigns
Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Edith Ramirez announced her resignation from the Commission, effective February 10, 2017. Ramirez became Chairwoman on March 4, 2013, and has served as an FTC Commissioner since April 5, 2010, following her appointment by President Barack Obama.
Crackdown on Robocalling
The Federal Trade Commission announced January 13, 2017 a crackdown on two massive robocall telemarketing operations, both of which have been blasting robocalls to consumers on the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry since at least 2012.
Many of the defendants in the two cases, FTC v. Justin Ramsey, et al. and FTC v. Aaron Michael Jones, et al., have agreed to court orders that permanently ban them from making robocalls, making any calls to numbers listed on the Do Not Call Registry, violating the Telemarketing Sales Rules, and/or assisting others in doing so. The settling defendants also will pay the Commission a total of more than $500,000.
The two ringleaders of the operations—Justin Ramsey and Aaron Michael ("Mike") Jones—have previously been sued by state attorneys general for telemarketing violations and the FTC's litigation against them continues.
In just the first three months of 2014, the FTC alleges that the defendants made more than 329 million robocalls to consumers in all 50 states, including 32 million to numbers on the Do Not Call Registry. In the first quarter of 2015, the FTC alleges that the defendants blasted out 222 million calls, including 40 million to numbers on the Do Not Call Registry.
FinTech Forum Announced
The Federal Trade Commission will host its third FinTech Forum on March 9, 2017, focusing on the consumer implications of two rapidly developing technologies: artificial intelligence and blockchain.
The half-day event is designed to bring together industry participants, consumer groups, researchers, and government representatives, to examine the ways in which these technologies are being used to offer consumers services and the potential benefits and consumer protection implications as these technologies continue to develop.
In advance of the forum, the FTC will be developing panels of experts, academics, and others for the event. If you wish to participate as a panelist, please email any relevant information to firstname.lastname@example.com(link sends e-mail) by January 27, 2017.
Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week
The Federal Trade Commission would like to bring your attention to this year's Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week, which will be January 30 – February 3, 2017. Designating a week to raise awareness about Tax ID Theft gives an opportunity to help people protect themselves. The FTC encourages attorneys general offices to help promote tips and information about tax identity theft. Sample tweets, daily tips, articles, calendar of events, and other useful resources can be found on their website. Offices can also join their twitter chats and webinars, share the information through their own communication channels, or host their own events with the free resources available online
Attorneys General
CashCall Settlements
District of Columbia Attorney General Karl A. Racine announced on January 11, 2017, that lender CashCall Inc. will return payments of more than $1.8 million made by District consumers and will forgive more than $1 million in remaining debts to settle a lawsuit the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) filed last year. The lawsuit had alleged that CashCall violated DC's Consumer Protection Procedures Act and Debt Collection Law by charging consumers illegal interest rates that ranged from 80% to 169%. On January 12, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and Office of Financial Regulation Commissioner Drew Breakspear announced coordinated settlements with the operators of an online lending scheme. The operators of the alleged scheme are Western Sky Financial, LLC, CashCall, Inc., WS Funding, LLC, Delbert Services Corporation and John Paul Reddam, who is President, CEO, owner and director of CashCall. The matter involved allegations that the companies offered loans to Florida borrowers with illegal interest rates of more than 18%. The settlement involves payments of a total of $1.25 million to the state of Florida with around $11 million for borrowers.
American Career Institute
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has announced that nearly 4,500 students victimized by the now-defunct American Career Institute (ACI) in Massachusetts will have their federal student loans forgiven by the U. S. Department of Education. The loans will be discharged based on deceptive and illegal practices uncovered by the attorney general's investigation into the former for-profit school. The combined borrower loan discharges will total roughly $30 million.
14 Attorneys General and FTC Settle with Online Dating Service for Alleged Security Misrepresentations
The attorneys general of Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, and the District of Columbia, and the Federal Trade Commission reached a settlement with the owners and operators of the Ashley Madison website, ruby Corp., ruby Life, Inc., and ADL Media, Inc. (collectively, Ashley Madison) to resolve allegations that the company violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and state consumer protection laws by misrepresenting data security on their website.
According to the AGs and the FTC, Ashley Madison allegedly misrepresented the strength of its security, created thousands of fake user profiles, and sold a "Full Delete" option which, even if a consumer opted to purchase, was not always carried out. This led to the leak of former members' personal information when the website was breached by hackers.
The AGs' consent judgments and the FTC's stipulated order impose a combined $17.5 million judgment against Ashley Madison, which will be partially suspended upon payment of $828,500 to the states and $828,500 to the Commission.

Please Understand Me: Character & Temperament Types
Prometheus Nemesis, 1984 - Family & Relationships - 210 pages
After presenting a brief rundown of 20th-century psychology movements, Keirsey and Bates encourage you to take the 70-question "Keirsey Temperament Sorter," a sort of mini-Myers-Briggs test that places you in 1 of 16 personality types. Like the Myers-Briggs system, this test sorts your personality into groups of extraversion/introversion (E/I), sensation/intuition (S/N), thinking/feeling (T/F), and perceiving/judging (P/J). Unlike the Myers-Briggs system, Please Understand Me also presents four easy-to-remember temperament types--Dionysian (freedom first), Epimethean (wants to be useful), Promethean (desires power), and Apollonian (searches for self)--that underlie the 16 possible personalities identified by the test. The book then delves into a detailed analysis of each type, with sections on mates, children, and leaders. An appendix paints portraits of the 16 possible personality types.

Rate of Destruction of Schistosoma mansoni Eggs in the Tissues of Mice
The rate of destruction of Schistosoma mansoni eggs in tissues of mice was determined after treatment, with stibophen, of infected mice and after eggs were injected intravenously into infected and uninfected mice. Mice treated the 7th week of infection destroyed approximately half the eggs in the tissues the 1st month after treatment. Mice treated the 12th to 41st weeks of infection destroyed eggs more slowly. Preferential destruction of recently laid eggs, with slower digestion of eggs or shells that persist after the initial host attack may determine the difference in the rates of destruction. Thus the slower rate in mice with more prolonged infections may be related to the lesser proportion of recently laid eggs in the tissues. Variation in egg destruction may result from changes in the host reaction to the eggs rather than from the type of eggs at risk. Eggs injected intravenously are destroyed more rapidly in infected than in uninfected mice. These results are pertinent to the estimation of egg production by S. mansoni; calculation of egg production is partly based on the number of eggs found in the tissues, and no appropriate correction can be made for eggs destroyed during experiments.

An American Original
Since 1965!
You are just a few clicks away from becoming an OFFICIAL Red Dragon Karate martial artist! But, before we give you the link to get started, here's a little insider info on what you're getting with your 8 FREE CLASSES and what our introductory special looks like.
During your 8 free classes, we will give you three 30 minute one on one private lessons, conveniently scheduled private lessons that are designed to give you a complete understanding of what Red Dragon Karate is all about.
The mission of Red Dragon, is to provide a safe, fun and affordable martial arts school which gives both children and adults in our community the opportunity to be involved in a positive family friendly atmosphere where they can learn to improve in mind, body and spirit.
We teach all our students the best effective self defense skills and show them how to be confident and self-assured while they grow into mature responsible adults.
Founded in 1965 by American Martial Arts pioneer Shihan sensei Louis D. Casamassa, a 10th degree black belt and creator of Red Dragon Karate. He is also the founder of the American Karate Kung Fu Federation (A.K.K.F).
Shihan Sensei was instrumental in originating mixed martial arts styles and was an early pioneer in bringing the Martial arts as a system to the U.S. Red Dragon Karate is truly an American original.
See What People JUST LIKE YOU are saying...
"Amazing! They're so attentive to their students in succeeding. The teachers (Sensei's) work hard to teach them what they need to know! My daughter joined only a month ago and it's been an amazing adventure. Her attitude, school work, and overall ambition for what she wants has greatly improved. I know it's because of Red Dragon Karate! I'm so glad I made the decision to enroll her, she's such a happier kid!"
"We love and adore Red Dragon Karate! I can truly say joining has helped my son become more confident, outgoing, goal oriented and understand respect as well as becoming more responsible. He used to be shy and tell me about kids being mean to him and now he is the boy that stands up for himself and his friends! He loves being active and now Red Dragon has even helped me reach my health and fitness goals. I've joined their awesome kickboxing classes. I fell in love with the classes are my first one! Everyone at RDK is friendly, personable and we feel like part of a family!
"This place is amazing the kids have a great time, they learn discipline and respect for each other. The people there are incredible, they always make you feel welcomed. It's the best place for your whole family to stay active and get fit while having a blast!"
"After class the other day, I asked my son, "Who was that boy you were practicing with? He looked nice." MY son said, "Mom, EVERYONE at Red Dragon is nice." Coming from a boy who has endured a lot of bullying in school, this is high praise indeed! All the instructors set the bar high when it comes to respect at RDK, and it shows. It's ironic that my son has found the people much kinder in a place where he's learning to kick and punch. We come to RDK for the people!"

GTOPs Core and Collaborative
GTOPs Core and Collaborative provide matching grant funds to Austin organizations to increase access to technology, provide digital/technology training, and to increase access to the internet; particularly in underserved segments of our community. GTOPs Core offers individual grants of $10,000 to $25,000. Of the $300,000 in funding for GTOPs Core, $50,000 each is reserved for projects focusing on IT Middle-Skill Career Opportunities and Creative Media Training and Development. Of the remaining $200,000, up to $100,000 is reserved for organizations earning less than $1,000,000 a year. GTOPs Collaborative funding provides one $50,000 award to a formalized collaborative effort between two or more organizations.
For both of these opportunities, grant applications are reviewed and assessed by a panel of qualified community representatives appointed by the Community Technology and Telecommunications Commission, which has final approval over recipient selection. In FY 2019, GTOPs Core grants were awarded to nine organizations.
Organizations interested in applying for GTOPs Core or Collaborative funding should first read the Standard GTOPs Terms and Conditions. All applicants are required to review the GTOPs Orientation document which will guide them through the application process. Any applicant, who has not previously done so, must register as a new City Vendor. Applications should be submitted through PartnerGrants.
Below are several resources for potential GTOPs Core and Collaborative applicants:
- GTOPs 2020 Launch Presentation
- Project Ideas and Examples
- Navigating PartnerGrants
- Organization Balance Sheet Example
- Income Statement Example
GTOPs Capacity
GTOPs Capacity is a mini-grant intended to fund non-profit's technology infrastructure as well as staff training and development related to digital equity. Because this opportunity is not client serving, normal insurance requirements are waived. GTOPs Capacity will award individual grants twice a year for amounts between $150 and $2,500. Applications will be reviewed for eligibility by City of Austin staff and one to two outside volunteers. Eligible applications will be awarded funding so long as the applicant has not already received Capacity funding in the same fiscal year.
Interested organizations should review the GTOPS Capacity Guide before submitting an application.
GTOPs awards devices based upon available inventory. Most devices are Dell Optiplex desktops (power cable, mouse, keyboard and monitors are not guaranteed but likeley available). Each comes equipped with 4GB of RAM, a minimum of 160GB of hard drive space, and at least an Intel i3 processor. Windows 10 and Microsoft Office Suite can be pre-installed for $6 per license (GTOPs funds cannot be requested to cover the cost of the licenses). Awards will be between 10 and 30 devices per grantee.
The application for devices is separate from other GTOPs forms.

Erlang did not start at all. Again, probably a mistake on my part.

Art is a Popularity Contest, Not a Democracy
"Truth be told—I like seeing photographs that I don't like. It makes me question why I don't like them, which in turn makes me question why I like the pictures I do like!
Comment by Simon Robinson on The Online Photographer.

Truth be told – I don't need to see photos that I don't like in order to appreciate those one which I like! …But that's me:-)
I'll be brave and say, I hate seeing photos I don't thing are worthy winning acclaim. It makes me feel as though either I'm missing something or quality is no longer recognized – in that order.
I was searching for Popularity and found your blog. Really nice article though. Please keep posting about these things. Thanks, Anna.

A tone-poem which foreshadows the very distinctive style Nordic orchestral music inhabits today. Did Aho, Rautavaara and Brødsgaard hear those crazy clarinet riffs?
…never have I heard this music played so ebulliently, so brilliantly, or so cleanly! I was also immediately struck by the combination of sumptuousness and impact in the recorded sound.
Bravos to all involved! © 2007 Fanfare Read complete review
The recording has a running time of 72 minutes and 24 seconds and presents a collection of 14 orchestral overtures, dances, rhapsodies and other relatively short orchestral works, including the overtures to both of the composer's operas: "Maskarade" and 'Saul and David."
The Nielsen sound is less beautiful and more joyous, energetic and kinetic than the Alfven disc. All the same, in nature it is closer to the sound of popular romantic composers such as Brahms and Schubert than it is to much else which was written in the early 20th century.
If you enjoy tonal, highly evocative music, you'll enjoy the works on this recording. The sound quality is excellent and the conductor's shaping of the performance is easily followed.
Although released in this country by Naxos, this recording is on the DaCapo label. It bears catalog number 8.220518. For more information, try the Web site www.dacapo-records.dk.
Limelight Award Nominee 2007
BBC Music CHOICE
Thomas Dausgaard conducts all these works with tremendous gusto, balanced by a fine ear for unusual, suggestive textures.
This is outstanding, and unmissable for Nielsen collectors—and not only for the less familiar items, all of which have been recorded before (not badly, either). The Danish Radio Symphony must have played the Saul and David and Maskarade excerpts and the Helios Overture more times than they can count. But for Dausgaard they relish every detail, without ever sounding self-conscious. To call the balance in the "Cockerels' Dance" felicitous would be an understatement; it is revelatory. Nor is affectionate an adequate word for Dausgaard's interpretations of all the music on this disc; there is love here, and a sense of crusading mission.
I could sing the praises of the Rhapsody Overture and Pan and Syrinx just as extravagantly. And I would as happily wax lyrical over the theatre music excerpts, all of which lead to or from the world of Nielsen's symphonies. Given playing of such finesse and bite (one virtually takes idiomatic understanding for granted) they all feel like gems in their own right. I could hug the oboist for his/her contributions to the Snefrid excerpts.
I suppose I'm not the easiest listener to please when it comes to Nielsen recordings. But this is the kind of issue that reminds me why. It comes about as close to the ideal as I ever hope to hear, and it eclipses almost all others in its field. Dacapo's recording quality is top-drawer, and there is an exemplary essay from Jørgen I Jensen. Disc of the year for me so far, then. And if it is still so at the end of 2007, I won't be surprised.
Talk about a slam-dunk! This is without doubt the finest collection of Nielsen's short orchestral works currently available. It is perfectly played, brilliantly conducted, and superbly recorded in stereo and SACD formats. Read Full Review at ClassicsToday

How To Click The Best Pictures While Traveling?
When you travel to some breathtaking part of the world, it is only a good picture that can capture its essence and stay with you for the rest of the life. You don't even need to be a professional photographer to click mind-blowing pictures.
All you need to do is to know a few tips that will enable you to capture the glory of the place. More than often the beauty that you see in front of your eyes don't match with the photographs you click.
But, from now on it won't be that way. We are going to make the whole experience of clicking pictures while you travel so much more fun and exciting.
Here are some of the best tips when it comes to travel photography.
Gone are the days when to taking a picture was a technical task with a heavy camera. Now a good picture from your camera phone can go straight on your refrigerator or is good enough to be framed.
It shouldn't matter if you are an amateur or professional, for we have ways by which you can click the best travel photographs.
• It is all about nouns : Wondering what are we talking about? Your travel pictures should have people, things, and places. But will not it be great if it can have it all. For example, the Taj Mahal. Say you wish to click a picture of it on a rainy day; it would be a good enough picture.
But, the charm of the picture is about to double if you have your kids or spouse in front of the monument. Let the monument stand with its extravaganza in the background.
• Selfies are outdated : Forget about it. Yes, forget about the "once upon a time" trending selfies. A picture looks far better if you are standing beside the scenery that you want to click a picture of.
• Where is the light? Yes, being a beginner, this is going to be a tip for life. Click a picture when there is an ample amount of light. This means your photographs should be during sunrise, pre-sunrise, sunset, and pre-sunset.
• Apps can be useful : Photo editing apps can be very useful. This will help you to adjust the shadows and highlights of a photograph and help you take it to the professional level.
When you are taking a picture of the landscape, try to darken the highlights of the picture and brighten the shadows. Adding an appropriate filter can help to bring out the hues of the picture.
• Watch out for spots : A great photo is about the location. You have to do a lot of research and read guidebooks to know about the place that you are going to visit. Learn about the iconic spots that can give you a mind-blowing picture.
• Try a tripod : If you are a solo traveler or if you are traveling with another person, a tripod can help to click a great picture. This will help you take a picture when you want and wherever you desire. The camera is going to be stable, and the composition will be great.
• What about the story? A picture should tell a vivid story to the one who sees it. Be ready at all times and click a picture that tells a complete story. When you are traveling from a location X to Y, make sure you have all the pictures that will connect to create one story.
• How about a GoPro? If you need that perfect shot, then GoPro is the way to go. Attach the GoPro as you go skiing, surfing, bungee jumping and bike riding. This will help you to capture the essence of the thing that you are trying out on your vacation.
• Break it down : The difference between a fine and an excellent picture is the way you break it down. To click a picture of superior quality, you need to break down a picture into three equal parts. Horizontal, Vertical and Both.
Go to the settings on your phone and enable the preview option. Now, when you click a picture, you will see two horizontal and vertical lines appearing. Any subject in the picture should be in the intersection of the lines.
• Take different shots of the same places : You have seen a dozen images of the places that you are about to visit. Try to click a picture that doesn't look like everyone else's. Try to shoot the subject of the popular destination in a way no one has done it.
This can be done when you spend some more time with your camera. Try to figure out which angle looks the best and which viewpoint isn't that common.
Shoot a picture from a lower angle. This will be easy and a unique way of clicking pictures.
• Locals : Nothing makes a photo standout than the locals in it. But, this needs some effort. You have to talk to the local people before you jump to the question, "Can I take a picture?"
• Take a picture of the local people with the mesmerising scenic beauty in the back.
• People add beauty : When you add a subject to a picture, it helps you to create a far better image. When a human stands amidst something that is beyond extravagant, the sense of reality is added to the picture.
• Get Close : The nearer you can get to the subject of your picture, the better the picture is going to be. This will help you get the intricate details and beauty of the subject. Try to zoom in on the subject by using the telephoto features on your phone. And, the other option is to be close enough to the subject.
When you are out traveling the world, a picture is all that will come back with you. To enjoy the beauty of that place all your life, keep in mind that you have to capture every bit of it.
Landscapes, beaches, mountains, locals, streets and so many other things. To capture the feel and the atmosphere of the place you are in, follow these easy steps.

13 Crazy Stories About Customers Trying To Return Worn, Altered, And Stained Clothing
Turns out, if you fuss enough and in just the right way, sometimes you can return gross, old stuff stores aren't technically supposed to accept back. Anonymous associates from shops around New York City share stories of the craziest merchandise return attempts they've ever dealt with.
White House Black Market
Plea: "One woman tried to return a pair of jeans that she had purchased a while ago. There was no receipt, no tag and there were stains all over the crotch area — lots of different colored stains, too. She said the stains weren't hers, and that her roommate had borrowed them without asking... Looking back, I wish I had worn gloves or something."
Verdict: Rejected.
BCBG Max Azria
Plea: "It was around Christmas, and this woman came in, crying and begging for her money back. We told her our policy, and she eventually left. The next day, she came back and called the cops."
Verdict: Accepted.
Plea: "There was a customer who spent $17,000 in one day. The next day, she came back with a note from her therapist that said she was a shopping addict and needed to return the items."
Verdict: Accepted.
Plea: "My all-time favorite story is this guy who came in and bought $5,000 worth of clothes for his mistress — he told me she was his mistress, too. I helped him pick out a few outfits, but then two or three days later he came back in. She told him it was way too over the top, and made him return everything."
Verdict: Rejected, with a twist: "He couldn't get his money back, so he spent his entire store credit on three of us working in the store instead. I got a nice jacket."
Lucky Brand Jeans
Plea: "People try and return jeans that they've already altered all the time. We've had customers come in who have added five or six inches to the hem line and now want a refund."
Verdict: Rejected.
Plea: "One of our most popular items is this knee-length brown suede wedge boot. We've sold hundreds and we've never had a quality issue with them. One day, this lady walked in wearing them, but one of the boots was ripped down the side. She had wrapped a rubber band around them to keep them on. She had owned the boots for a year, and when we wouldn't take them back, she made this huge scene and called them defective."
Verdict: Accepted. (Begrudgingly.)
Plea: "I kept explaining our policy to this one really angry customer, but she wasn't having it. Then she slammed her fists on the counter and said, 'Well, It's MY policy not to be screwed over.' She threw her credit card at me and knocked an entire table of shoes over on her way out."
Verdict: Rejected.
Plea: "I used to have a regular customer who I would always help pick out outfits. Eventually, I found out that she had figured out my days off and would come in and return the outfits that she had clearly worn, tags still on."
Verdict: Accepted.
Plea: "Prom season was always the worst. We'd have girls come in the day after prom trying to return dresses with sweat stains that smelled like cigarettes and beer."
Verdict: Accepted.
Kate Spade
Plea: "We had a woman who would come in almost every week with returns of things she bought online. Every item would just reek of mothballs. Other customers would step away from her. Eventually, I told her that I couldn't resell her stuff anymore."
Verdict: Accepted, for a while.
Plea: "We get a lot of studio pulls in this store... That's when a studio, like Disney or something, buys merchandise for actors to wear on shoots. So we also get a lot of illegal studio pulls. People don't tell you who they are and they buy a ton of stuff and then return it when the shoot is over. One guy was trying to return one of these illegal pulls and I knew it. He made up this big story about how it was for his two nieces — both conveniently size 10 — who were going to visit Ethiopia but ended up not going."
Verdict: Accepted, but he was added to the do-not-return list.
American Apparel
Plea: "Some French tourists wanted to return a tutu unitard they bought before they went home. They wanted their money back and spent an hour yelling at me in French before I finally got them to call our customer service line."
Verdict: Accepted.
Plea: "Some people freak out over getting less back than what they paid for it— like if the item had gone on sale since they purchased it. They curse and yell at us over 89 cents. But we're used to it. Yesterday, someone peed in the dressing room for no reason."
Verdict: Accepted. (And, gross.)

Varied experimental results have recently sparked theoretical interest in the dark matter sector. I will review some of these results and the basic ideas in particle physics that might explain them, as well as some requirements for those models to work. Then I'll discuss a new model dark matter sector that can better explain many of the experimental results. I'll also mention the interesting cosmological history required in this type of model. Finally, if there's time, I'll discuss ongoing efforts at McGill to develop basic physics shared by many of the new dark matter models.
