Very few of us are trained to actually explore our own belief systems and therefore, we trundle through life with these beliefs largely unchallenged. False beliefs can be quite damaging in certain aspects of life and one area in which we need to look at those beliefs is within relationships.
We may believe in something wholeheartedly but this does not make it true.
If we make judgments simply through values that have been either passed down to us or which are largely unexplored, then we risk a less than desirable outcome. Consider this – has there ever been a time in your life when you have wanted to ask someone out on a date but failed to do so fearing rejection? If the answer is yes, then this is a self-limiting belief. The origins of this belief may be deeply embedded in the sub-conscious mind and may have been laid down as a trigger many years beforehand.
So, let's examine some beliefs and see if they are really working for you.
If you are in a healthy relationship and happy with the ebb and flow of energy between you then all is well but for a great many people, this is not the case, the harmony between both may be sadly lacking. Or, you may no longer be in a relationship and feel that you have missed your chance of finding true love. You may have been hurt and unable to face the prospect of finding love again. Sometimes, by simply examining your personal beliefs, it is possible to facilitate change for the better.
Here are a few beliefs that are simply not true and may damage a relationship very quickly:
1. If you fall out of love then it will never return.
2. What I have experienced in the past will always return in the future.
3. It takes two to change things.
4. If it's real love then it should require no work.
5. If it doesn't work this time then I will never find true love again.
Now if you read through these five sentences, do they make sense to you? Do any of them resonate as to how you feel? Can you justify any of the statements made?
It's worth nothing that none of these are true, it is simply a case of perception i.e. how we see things or how we feel that differs. I have picked out these five sentences deliberately because they are often the type of false information that is passed on down to us. They occur through damaging experiences and beliefs of others which eventually become our own.
We need to examine them and question why this should be so.
It pays to write a list down that includes every self-limiting belief that you have and although you may struggle initially, you can rectify this by considering any decisions made in relationships and question why you made them. It is possible to empower oneself very easily once we start to dissect any beliefs and actions that have been self-limiting. Simply, they have no right to be with us at all.
So here is a couple of questions that you should ask yourself.
1. Is what I believe really true?
2. Can I change how I think about situations?
3. With practice, can I have a different belief system?
We must recognise that the capability of change is within all of us and the real power lies with our recognising our basic needs and those of our partner's too. Each of us is responsible for our actions and so anything we do in life, will facilitate change in some direction. The point is to recognise the value of what we have in any given partnership. No two people are ever the same and so no relationship can be the same as the previous one, this means that what happened once is not necessary going to happen again. We must eliminate comparisons for that is damaging in itself.
All of the positives above allow us to be true to ourselves and to enable the partnership to feel free and safe because the relationship can grow without fear or limitations. We develop in the way that we should. This is often the main key to a healthy, loving relationship.

|The Unselfish Love of a Husband by Samantha Nelson
[Note: The following article was written as a submission to an organization soliciting stories about love in action. It is published in this newsletter as an encouragement to all the husbands whose wives have been abused by a spiritual leader to love and support their wives; and to all the victims as they seek to rebuild their marriages and understand the unique struggles their husbands face trying to support them while they cope with their own grief, betrayal and pain.]
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."—1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)
I wish to write today of the unselfish love of my husband Steve. He embodies the description of love as given in the Bible text above. Now, that may sound like a lot to live up to, but let me explain how his love has impacted me over the past 20 years.
We met when I was only 18 and very emotionally unstable due to the abuse in my childhood and teens. He loved me through my suicide attempts. He loved me despite my self-destructive and often horrible behavior. He loved me as only he could do, in the way I needed most. I knew I'd found the love of my life, the only man with whom I ever wanted to spend eternity.
As the years went by and we grew and changed together, life somehow got in the way. Our business became our focus and, even though we worked side-by-side, we lost touch, to some extent, with what was really important—the need to stay connected and the need to keep our priorities in order—our main priority, outside of our relationship with Christ, being our marriage.
It was during this time of high stress that we experienced a meltdown that nearly destroyed us both. Our pastor sexually, emotionally and spiritually abused me; and my husband stood by my side, defending me and trying to protect me, even when I, obviously deluded and deceived and under constant pressure from the pastor, thought I wanted out of our marriage to be with the pastor.
I cannot describe how much agony I feel when I think of what I put my husband through and the pain he endured during that dark time in our lives. I am thankful for his unfailing love. Not only did he recognize what was happening (that I was being manipulated into this abusive relationship) and try to help me, he loved me through it all, despite the arguments, despite the pain I caused him, despite my selfishness and, once again, suicide attempts, he was there—firm, faithful, forgiving and full of love—for me.
As if that weren't enough, I underwent major surgery in the midst of this crisis. Just prior to surgery I became ill at home and it was my loving husband who took care of me, cleaned me up, took care of the house, our pets and our business. He covered for me when I could not work. He protected my character and reputation. During the time I was in the hospital, he stayed by my side continuously, only going home to let our dog out and to change clothes each day. He loved me, unselfishly, fully and patiently.
I can say that Steve exhibited all the qualities of love that are referred to in the above-quoted Scripture passage. Not only do I think he has those qualities; he has proven them to me by his actions. Love does not consist of words alone. Love is primarily action. Love is a principle as well, and my husband remained steadfast in his love for me.
To put it simply, he expressed his love for me in many ways, including:
There were so many non-verbal ways he expressed his love to, and for, me. I stand in awe of what he did for me during those terrible times. I am amazed at his love for me during the good times. I stand in awe of his great love for me—through it all.
I love you, Steve.
If you are a survivor of pastoral abuse, we would love to hear your story and possibly make it available on this web site for others to read and renew their hope. You can use a pseudonym if you choose and rest assured that all personal information will be kept private and strictly confidential. Please contact us.
Please note: We do not necessarily agree with or endorse all the information contained in the survivor's stories. We do, however, feel they have some valuable information that could be useful to you in your recovery. It helps to know you're not alone, that others have shared your pain and have healed, by the grace of God, in their own time and way.

General News of Monday, 14 May 2018
Source: Myjoyonline.com
The Minority in Parliament is kicking against a new formula announced for the disbursement of the District Assembly Common Fund.
The new formula allocates 40 percent of the fund to the school feeding programme, 20 percent each to the Nation Builders' Corps, planting for food and jobs and the remaining 20% for the running of the assemblies.
Administrator of the District Assembly Common Fund, Irene Naa Torshie Addo is reported to have given the instruction to the assemblies to use the allocated funds for the purposes for which they have been given.
But former DCE for Sekyere Afram Plains Fuseini Donkor says the directive is an illegality and would impede the development of several districts.
"If you look at the 2018 District Assembly Common Fund formula that was approved by Parliament, you will see no specific allocation to all the things Naa Torshie is actually doing.
"So in the first place what she is actually doing is not approved by Parliament," he said.
The District Assemblies Common Fund was established in 1993.
By law, "the Common Fund shall consist of all monies allocated by Parliament under section 2 of this Act and any interests and dividends accruing from investments of monies from the Common Fund.
(3) The allocation made by Parliament under section 2 shall be paid into the Common Fund in quarterly instalments.
(4) The monies accruing to the District Assemblies in the Common Fund shall be distributed among all the District Assemblies on the basis of a formula approved by Parliament.
However, critics, including the Minority say the Common Fund Administrator, Naa Torshie has deviated from the formula so approved by Parliament and has rather channelled funds meant for development projects in the districts to executing campaign promises by the government.
The ranking member on the Local Government and Rural Development Committee Nii Lante Vanderpuye says the directive will lead to the collapse of the MMDCEs and hinder the development of all districts across the country.
He told Joy News government must look for funding sources for its campaign promises rather than diverting the District Assembly Common Fund for the execution of the promises.
"We in the minority raised questions about it because we said that the common fund is supposed to go to the districts for development in the districts… The government cannot turn round and depend on the same common fund it cut by 25% and wants to use the same common fund to finance these initiatives in the districts.
"The government is not being fair to Ghanaians and is not being fair to the Districts," he asserted.
He feared the MMDCEs may not undertake any developmental projects because there will be no money to execute.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Federation of Disability Organisation is threatening to embark on a demonstration if the government does not come clear on the fresh guidelines for the distribution of the common fund.

Editorial Reviews
"Jamaica Dyer is the new Ariel Schrag. If you don't know what that means, then … you're not a comics geek. The point is, Dyer's innovative watercolor Web-comic, Weird Fishes, has the ability to pull readers, as though with a rope, into the world
of teen instability and pit-deep passions. (And it's now a book, as
well.) We haven't seen independent sequential art this evocative since
Schrag's early autobiographical work, and that's saying a lot."
- SF Weekly
"The only explanation for Jamaica Dyer is that she was built by aliens and dropped here to show us all how crap we are compared to her."
-Warren Ellis
"This story about two oddballs wrestling with their feelings could easily be soundtracked by any number of old Morrissey records, even if it is
named after a Radiohead song."
-Jamie S Rich (for The Portland Mercury)

The harsh buzz of your alarm clock sounds and you rub your eyes, still not quite ready to get up and face the day. As you force yourself from bed, you realize that you feel like crap. Maybe you're just a little drowsy, maybe you have a headache, or perhaps you feel like you've been hit by a bright yellow bus loaded with 60 screaming schoolchildren.
Why do you feel so lethargic? Does everyone feel like this when they wake up?
It's not as though you were out drinking last night. In fact, all you did was sit on the couch and watch TV, before later crawling into bed and surfing the internet on your iPad …
No problem, right?
Wrong. Oooooh so, so wrong.
I'm afraid you've fallen into the clutches of the digital hangover.
What is the digital hangover?
The digital hangover is that generalized weariness you feel after a night spent staring at the all too seductive glow of an LCD screen. It's the result of sleep that is disturbed, both in duration and quality, as a result of lingering in the digital playground later than you should.
Luckily, just as with a real hangover, there are steps we can take to fight back. And for the next month, I'm going to wage a war against the digital hangover just like Johnny Appleseed waged war on the fallow, fruitless fields of the old frontier.
The Plan
As I've documented before, sleep and I don't always see eye to eye. Usually when I can't sleep, I have no qualms about firing up my computer or tablet and playing around on the internet. I've come to believe that this has a negative effect on both my sleep and my productivity.
So, in an effort to battle the digital hangover, for the next 30 days — until September 12th — I'm going to shut down my electronics at midnight every day — no exceptions. The ban will run until 8am in the morning, assuring that at least a third of my day is free from the glare of the digital menace.
In practice, this means that I will turn off my computer and my tablet (note that I don't have a TV here in Taiwan). I will, however, allow myself the use of my MP3 player, as I like to listen to music and Chinese lessons late at night. Also, I won't power down my phone — a "dumb" model that also serves as my alarm clock — though I do solemnly vow not to play Beach Rally or Snakes Xenzia. I don't make or receive many calls and texts, especially after midnight, so I don't foresee the phone becoming a distraction.
I considered a few other exceptions, but ultimately I opted against including them as I'd rather not provide myself with excuses for breaking the digital curfew. And so beginning tonight, I will record any instances in which I break my own rules and include that information in my report at the end of the month.
The Benefits
Though a full analysis of the benefits will have to wait until after the experiment, I'll share my expectations with you.
I anticipate three major benefits in particular:
- I will sleep better
We all want better, more restful sleep — myself included. I believe not having any digital distractions to keep me awake will help me sleep better. If that's the only benefit I derive from having a hard cutoff time for electronics, I'll see it as a resounding victory.
- I will make better use of my night hours
If I still can't sleep, I won't just lie in bed and stare up at my ceiling. Instead I will use this time to study Chinese, to read paperbacks (instead of reading on my tablet, as I usually do), and to write longhand. And I'll be able to do these things without feeling the urge to login to ESPN and see how NFL training camps are progressing.
- I will manage my digital time better
I have an awful tendency to put things off. Why write my weekly blog post on Tuesday afternoon when I can write it in the wee hours of Wednesday morning? Having a digital curfew should make me more conscious of how I spend my computer time, because once midnight comes the show is over.
How to follow along
How will this play out? Will I get the results I desire?
I'll publish a full report on Wednesday, September 18th. I'll also include short updates about my progress in my weekly newsletter, which goes out every Sunday.
So, you can sign up for the newsletter, you can check back in a month, or hell, you can even join me in the experiment if you'd like! I'd love to hear about your experiences with the digital hangover.
The choice is yours.

Sorry for the poor quality. This is a man trying to wake the gods by clapping at a Japanese shrine. Breaks my heart every time.
Make sure to watch it in 1080 if you can. The quality is amazing. Some of these scenes are a bit cliché, but gorgeous nonetheless.
If you follow me on twitter, then you know about my monster cake I have to make. It will finish cooking one of these days… So I did this Vid while it was in the oven. Hence, the apron and flour, and crazy hair, and total wigged-out-ness. Idk.

Dominic Lagace lives the dream of most wakesurfers: chasing summer year round. Doum's riding style matches his easy-going personality. With this attitude and the ability to befriend everyone he meets, its no wonder his surf school is booked out months in advance. Doum proudly lives out the Tige dream and spreads the lifestyle everywhere he goes and to everyone he meets.
Hometown? Trois-rivieres, Quebec, Canada
How long have you been wakesurfing? About 8 years.
What would a "perfect day" be to you? Being happy and riding all day.
What is something no one would ever guess about you? When I was 23 years old, I was a full time teacher in sheet metal (or, how to build an airplane). I quit everything to ride and enjoy my life.
What are 5 things you can't live without? Wave, board, sun, happiness and love.

I've been making a DIY watch using the MSP430 and a cheap display. It's quite basic right now, but I'm planning on making the firmware better. It uses a surface mount MSP430 value line.
I've done some work on getting a Telit GSM module inside a watch also, but this one here is just a basic version. I had a voucher for a purchase at Shapeways that ran out this month, so I've ordered the case from them. That'll allow me to compare quality differences of my Makerbot and the Shapeways commercial printers.

I've been remiss in thanking Nicki Leone and Nan Graham for filling in for me on the February Prologue session on "The Great Gatsby." (The paper sent me up to cover a Raleigh preview of "Safe Haven.") From all reports, a great time was had by all.
In particular, there seems to have been a lot of discussion over whether the hero Jay Gatsby (nee James Gatz) was a real person, or at least was modeled on someone real.
Certainly, the novel's gambler, Meyer Wolfscheim, owes a lot to the figure of Arnold Rothstein, alias "The Brain," who's credited or blamed with fixing the 1919 World Series. But what about Gatsby?
Well, Fitzgerald was never as autobiographical as Thomas Wolfe, and he probably did a composite of several figures of the early 1920s. There were a lot of nouveau riche characters with shady backgrounds floating around Society during the Prohibition era.
One figure stands out, though — one who fascinated Fitzgerald's foremost biographer, the University of South Carolina professor Matthew J. Bruccoli.
That's Max Gerlach — or Max von Gerlach, as he sometimes referred to himself. Born Max A. Stark (or possibly Max A. Stork) in Yonkers, N.Y., he early remade himself and changed his name, as Gatsby did. Like Gatsby, he served in World War I, and he floated in the same circles as Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald in Manhattan in the early '20s.
Gerlach ran an auto dealership and was sometimes described as a "wealthy yachtsman" —
which, as Bruccoli pointed out, was sometimes used back then as a euphemism for rum runner. (Remember, Gatsby has a seaplane parked behind his house at West Egg. What is he using it for?)
Gerlach was also, almost certainly, a bootlegger, and legend has it that the Fitzgeralds were among his customers. He was reputed to use the phrase "old sport" habitually, rather like Gatsby. The "von" is suggestive; in the novel, one of the legends circulating about Jay Gatsby has him related somehow to the former German kaiser.
Bruccoli went so far as to hire a detective to track facts about Gerlach. He was reported to have committed suicide in 1939 in Yonkers, allegedly distraught over losing his auto dealership. Later, however, Bruccoli was able to show that Gerlach survived the attempt, finally dying in 1958 in a New York hotel of doubtful provenance.
Howard Comen of Charleston, S.C., wrote in a letter to The Princeton Alumni Review that Gerlach lived near the Princeton Club in New York City (a Fitzgerald hangout) and that he was believed to be the club's regular supplier of hooch.
Horst Kruse of the University of Munster wrote an article, "The Real Jay Gatsby: Max von Gerlach, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the Compositional History of' The Great Gatsby' " for the inaugural issue of The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review in 2002.

Perhaps Colombo's most visually stunning restaurant, Flamingo House is steeped in a rich background, rich décor and rich cuisine. 'Post-colonial mayhem' and 'eclectic' are two words that aptly describe the place and over the years they have created a name for themselves with a stunning interior based on the love story of Sir Alfred Clarke and Satyavati and delicious cuisine.
Elevating the culinary experience at Flamingo House is its new Head Chef Mark Smith, Sri Lanka born and trained chef who has worked internationally in several countries. Having lived abroad for a large part of his young life, Smith returned to Sri Lanka in his early 20's and trained at the Ceylon Hotel School and then worked as a Kitchen Executive at Hilton Colombo.
"I just didn't see myself behind a desk,"
explained Smith,
"being a Chef was more my style. Everything is black or white, either you know how to do it or you don't."
From there, it's a string of international opportunities to Smith. From Australia to Dubai, from Calcutta to Kerala, from Goa to Chennai; the years passed as Chef Smith explored cuisine after cuisine, working as an Executive Chef in 5-star hotels, resorts and spas and fine dining restaurants. Amidst this, Smith also returned to Sri Lanka and opened and worked at several restaurants and resorts such as Havelock Place Bungalow, Taru Villas, the Spice Trail, and Number 18.
Chef Smith leans heavily on Italian cuisine but is also biased towards Mediterranean and progressive food.
"I'm a very hands-on chef. I love small menus, good ingredients and keeping it simple. You can't go wrong."
This is the very philosophy he adopts for revamping the menu at Flamingo House.
Downsizing the menu significantly for a fewer number of starters and mains, Smith wants to focus on the quality than the quantity and create signature dishes full of flavour using local produce. The menu will retain a number of old favourites such as the seafood kottu, the Galle Face isso wade, the Flamingo rice and the Irish Whiskey Blue Cheeseburger for the regular customer but will largely feature new, exciting dishes that are both simple and innovative.
Starters from the new menu include the delicious Prawn Nori Tempura with wasabi mayonnaise. We had ours with seared tuna, packed with fresh vegetables, rolled in seaweed and batter fried served with a fresh salad. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the contrasting flavours of this simple dish blew us away.
Mains include a range of signature dishes such as turmeric root risotto, slow cooked beef short ribs in arrack, squid ink pasta with prawns, crispy skin chicken with a Moroccan spice mix and coriander crabmeat noodles to name a few. Their Coriander Crabmeat Noodles is a visually stunning, 5 ingredient dish. Homemade just a few hours before cooking, the coriander pasta just screams 'fresh!' when it's served. Drizzled in olive oil and tossed in chunky pieces of crab meat, the flavours of this dish are divine. We cleaned ours right off the plate and kept it on our list to try again!
Desert is a simple affair. Homemade ice-creams, chocolate pudding, passion fruit pavlova and crème Brulee are the options offered. We tried their take on Fresh Strawberry and Cream which is warm strawberries in orange caramel and balsamic served with homemade vanilla bean ice-cream with homemade honeycomb. This made to order dessert was just right with the warm of the strawberries being cut through by the coldness of the ice cream.
The menu then is a concentration of a lot of flavours.
"I want people to feel like they have gone to someone's house"
comments Chef.
"We are in the business of bringing pleasure to people and that's why we need to have flavour and taste on the plate so that you get that smile when you taste something good for the first time and that is what the new menu is about."
The menu will change routinely every 3 months and Flamingo House will introduce daily specials for those looking for a surprise when they dine.
Overall, the new menu at Flamingo House is promising. It brings international flavours with a local twist and their homemade ingredients, from the pasta to the chutneys, ensure that your dish looks and tastes fresh. We definitely enjoyed our sneak peek into the new menu and we liked what we saw (and tasted!). Smith's extensive experience in the industry ensures that he delivers food that's cooked well, with panache and passion.

Although Cambodia does not have a united feminist movement, like those that have brought about major political and social changes in more progressive countries throughout the world, individual women around the country are taking power and making moves that are paving the way for future generations of women to achieve true equality with their male counterparts.
While feminism is interpreted in many ways, it is generally understood to be the philosophy that women should have the same rights, treatment and opportunities as men. In Cambodia, women are often seen as the leaders of the family, but in most other spheres, such as business and politics, the influence of women has been historically marginalised.
However, groups of women are coming together online and on the ground to change the situation. In this issue we hear from Mu Sochua, one of Cambodia's most outspoken women, who has become a potent political force and has made her voice heard by the masses. Other woman in this issue have used their knowledge and experience to encourage and enlighten the next generation of woman to be strong and successful. While there may not be a women's rights movement in any formal sense, women are undoubtedly moving in Cambodian society towards a better future.
The role of women in the Kingdom is often seen as that of a homemaker and supporter, but we know that women have all of the abilities of men, and should have all of the opportunities. You can be a successful mother and wife in the home while being a successful professional out of the house, and moreover you can be an influential woman without having a family at all.
There are no limits to what a woman can do. In this issue we invite women who have already achieved success to share their experiences and hope that their strength will inspire you to find greatness in yourself. LIFT

Looking to find an antique Moroccan dagger, a 1971 Royal Enfield motorbike or an adorable Dalmatian-Bulldog named Ace?
Bureau of Trade is your place.
A collection of merchandise that "men want most – whether or not they're yet aware," Bureau of Trade is the e-commerce brainchild of former Middle East analyst, menswear designer and editor Michael Phillips Moskowitz. Scouring online auction houses and traveling the world, Moskowitz's refined eye searches for the exquisite, the eclectic and the elegant. These globally sourced scores become the ever-evolving selection at Bureau of Trade. Each is accompanied by a witticism and erudite conversation in lieu of pedestrian product descriptions. The combined result is an online boutique of clothes, cars and canines (and more) as unique as its creator.
What was your initial impetus for starting Bureau of Trade?
I was and continue to be quite an orthodox magazine reader and devotee. I worship print, but I live overwhelmingly online. Before starting the Bureau I found little coverage of the pieces I love and care most about: unique one-offs and oddities, story-worthy rarities new and old at prices people can actually afford – the local and the global flea. Men's lifestyle titles cover everything new, but I wanted to leverage the power of humor and storytelling to deepen (or broaden) people's appreciation for objects that really enrich our lives. Sites like eBay, Gumtree, Le Bon Coin, even Craigslist are vast repositories of cool finds, but they feel common and look unconsidered, cluttered, virtually un-navigable and sometimes maddening. I wanted to kill ugly, eviscerate ordinary and champion provenance, craft, design and beauty, and do this through a more approachable prism courtesy (chiefly) of humor. If I could – indeed if I can – help people learn something every day and laugh just a bit more, I'm convinced that we can earn people's permission to make them lust after tangible things that really matter.
What draws you to a particular item when selecting for the site?
It has to be story-worthy, or a steal, or simply, patently beautiful. One of the three, and it ought to appear tied intuitively to the rest of a collection.
What is your background and how has that past experience played into this latest venture?
I started my career as a Middle East analyst and worked at think tanks in New York, Washington, D.C., London and at Stanford before abandoning the fold in favor of something less taxing: men's fashion. In 2004, I co-founded a label called Gytha Mander that was acquired in 2006. I then co-founded a magazine where I served as editor-in-chief, followed by a short stint as a brand strategy consultant. I later joined IDEO, which I loved. To them I remain loyal and grateful. The path from analyst to designer to editor to consultant to this blend of e-commerce and content creator might look a bit peripatetic, but the unifying thread was always a deep, unequivocal desire to reach people – to write, to entertain, to sometimes provoke, hopefully to create a bit of thoughtful commotion.
Describe a Bureau of Trade client.
We don't have a specific demographic. I'm inclined to think of our readers as more of a psychographic that's skewing masculine to be sure, but not an army barracks in terms of gender balance. The Bureau is for people with a well-articulated sense of themselves: People who share a belief that purposeful purchases are important. Forget retail therapy. It's about intelligent acquisition. I think Bureau readers share my view that what you consume (eat, drink, drive, wear and even sit in) telegraphs a message about who you are and what you value. (Or who you purport to be, as long as it's conscientious.)
How does Bureau of Trade differ from other e-commerce offerings?
The sheer range of available products wrapped in our specific manner or style of storytelling isn't found elsewhere. I think our voice, values and perspective make us recognizably different from other retail and editorial sites. Where else can you find an adorable Afghan hound to adopt, a '67 Porsche for $15,000 and a taxidermy werewolf hand with which to wave at the moon or reprise Michael J. Fox's famous role?
Are you the sole curator of the site? If not, how do you select and work with your curators?
At the very beginning it was me and me alone, but these days I'm in considerable debt to talented contributors around the globe. Some are generalists, others specialists, but everyone comes equipped with a superlative eye, courtesy of work, travel and study. They're a phenomenal group and the Bureau is a reflection of us all rather than one single person.
How do you see the site evolving in the future?
The Bureau can't just exist in the fleeting or ephemeral realm of digits and pixels. We have to bring it down from the ether to the corporeal realm that you and I inhabit every single day. At the moment there's a cable TV show in the works, a private dining series and a quarterly publication under discussion. There will also be a series of live auctions in cities across the globe, slated for 2014.
You offer dog adoptions through the site as well.
Samuel Clemens put it succinctly, "Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." We don't have any commercial motivation or incentive here whatsoever. We just want these lovely and loving orphans to find forever homes. Is "life, acquired" (our tagline) a life really worth living without a devoted companion?

4 Things I Didn't Do {when potty training 1 & 2}
Then came the second attempt when we potty trained Bernadette and Mike went for it using that train-in-less-than-a-day method, which resulted in zero successes at peeing in the potty and her vomiting all over her tiny potty due to the copious snacks and juice that they recommend in the book. Mike called it a day and we both called it a failed attempt and decided to wait another month and have me try my hand at getting her to use the toilet. It went much, much better than the first try, both because we decided not to use that method (I am sure that method is a great way to go for some, but it seems like it's not the right fit for our girls' personalities) AND because we waited until we were closer to her 3rd birthday and this is when I made some mental notes for the day when I would try to train Lucy.
Well that day came last week, and I actually put into practice a few of the things I had stowed away in my brain and guess what?!? It was about 10,000 times better than the first 2 tries. I know I know-- there will be regression, she will get willful and decide to pee in an outfit so that she can put a new one on (or maybe that was just a Bernadette thing, I pray it was). Either way, I know that we are not done potty training, but almost 2 weeks into it and we've had only a few small accidents to speak of and way more successes than accidents and we've left the house multiple times for extended periods without defiling public establishments with her waste so I call it a huge success so far.
Lest this be excused for an advice-giving post (not my favorites) this is simply for posterity's sake, an e-log of things I didn't do with the first 2, and made a point to DO this time and it made a huge difference.
1) Wait. Wait for what? My mom gave me next to no advice in the realm of potty training, but the one thing that she stressed over and over again that I didn't really listen to until #3 was to wait until they are closer to 3 years-old if you want the most success from your efforts. I know hardly any moms my age who do that, and that's fine, but after this experience I will never do anything else. Lucy will be 3 in early October, and I would have waited even longer, but she starts catechesis at our parish and needed to be mostly trained before that, so I held off as late into the summer as I could and developmentally she was in an insanely better place than Naomi or Bernadette when I trained them (Naomi was younger than 2-and-a-half and so was Bernadette on her first attempt.) The second try with Bernadette she was closer to the age Lucy is now and it went much better than the first time. I made the mental note then to not even try until Lucy was as close to 3 as she could be and still to catechesis, and I'll never not do it again.
2) Stay calm. I was a jittery mess when I even thought about potty training the first 2. All the pee! On the floor!! All the POOO!! ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't stay calm, or rather, I wouldn't. I was like a volcano ready to erupt at the first sight of pee anywhere but the toilet. Rather than just expecting it and responding with a simple "it's ok, it's just pee (or poop), and it happens!", I mostly just threw my own adult sized tantrum and cried a lot. This time around I was able to keep it together-- even though my nature started to revolt and wanted to freak out about pee on the carpet and Joseph crawling in it-- but I forced myself to stay calm, and it had the lovely effect of not deflating Lucy and helping her to feel encouraged about the next attempt. It is sad and guilt inducing for me when I think about how much my panicky, negative responses likely negatively impacted my other training experiences, but so far my kids don't seem too scarred, so I'll hope for the best there.
3) Stay focused. The day before I was going to start with Lucy I made sure to sit Naomi and Bernadette down and prep them for a day of being entirely neglected. I welcomed their help in any way they could, but I let them know that my focus needed to be on Lucy and Lucy alone. Joseph cried a lot more that first day than usual, because I simply couldn't get to him every time he fussed, because I was teaching a child to no longer defecate in her pants, a rather huge feat that takes a lot of work and focus. I remember trying to do a lot of other stuff while potty training the first 2, we still went out of the house those first few days, I still tried to blog and clean around the house and bake and this time? I did nothing. The house was a wreck, I planned no blog posts those first few days, I tried not to have too much going on in the kitchen other than the basic food needs of the family, I deliberately planned the start of our homeschooling year for 2 weeks post potty training so that Lucy could get more comfortable with going before we started, and I definitely planned NO outings for that first week, which brings me to number 4....
4) STAY HOME. I didn't do this with Naomi and Bernadette, and it was the dumbest thing I did, or didn't do, hands down. Much pee, many stress, in so many public places. This time around I picked a week to do the training, made zero plans with anyone and mentally planned on going no where. Within a couple of days she was doing so well that I felt confident enough to take her to the park, but that was just a major unexpected bonus and was not something I was counting on at all.
5) BONUS! The last thing that I did not do with the first 2 kids that I could not have done even if I wanted to is utilize and capitalize on the help of the older siblings. Second to waiting until Lucy was as close to 3 as we could, employing the help of the 2 older girls was the thing that helped most. They fought over who would accompany Lucy to the toilet, help her get the potty seat set up, and flush and wash her hands. It was equal parts total sweetness and super duper helpful. Yet another case for big families!
Ok, future Ana, you go rock this training like a boss!

Big kids to help are clutch! Also not going anywhere... I remember being so excited to try to take my oldest out in underwear and then... He peed his pants at Mass. Although now that I think about it, one of the twins peed at the library a few months ago so maybe I haven't actually learned anything?ReplyDelete
I will sing all the praises for waiting until they are three until the day I die! Not exaggerating in the slightest! It is the only advice that matters (in my humble opinion) *as a totally random note, I think I met your good friend who moved away and made you sad. Is she in Denver and sending her kids to the school my husband teaches in?!?! :)ReplyDelete
I have always done it super early, but otherwise yes to all these things. Not freaking out especially. And staying home with no plans but going to the potty. One other thing that's helped the last couple times is going no-undies for awhile. Nothing to catch the accident makes it more noticeable. Yea for you and Lucy!ReplyDelete
Totally waited until my oldest was three years and three months old, because her birthday is in March and we wanted to wait until warmer summer weather. It was so easy! Our parents thought we were a little crazy for waiting so long but I have no regrets.ReplyDelete
I echo a lot of this - the staying home, not planning anything, remaining calm. Definitely those things are key. I actually opted to train earlier rather than later, after waiting until close to 3 with my first. For my boys, that seemed to work better, but I really think it's child/personality dependent and there is no "right" age to do it.ReplyDelete
For my girls, closer to 3 than 2 was key as well! (The boys, unfortunately, had a higher tolerance for messes and so usually it was well after 3 before success was consistant!) The fact that they can communicate better to me, can understand their body's signals better, made it so much easier.ReplyDelete
For me, though , staying home all day led to more fails. I don't have the temperment to sit the little one on the potty every hour or whatever so I would invariably miss signs than an event was imminent. Going out and about made me more alert to signals the kid might be ready to go. Also, my sons love peeing in other potties, so getting to stop at the Target bathroom (maybe twice inthe same trip!) was fun.
I've only trained one so far, but for her littler personality, I think the best thing we did was give her ample notice before we even trained her. She trained the week after Halloween (great use for all the candy!) and through all of September and October, we talked it up during every diaper change and every time she accompanied me to the bathroom. She was definitely ready, not only developmentally, but mentally with all the talking about it! She was 2 and a half but I'm totally a fan of waiting till 3. That's my plan for #2.ReplyDelete
Congrats on getting #3 potty trained! Also, did you plan that picture from Let's Spoon to be interpreted as Let's Poo? Because I totally saw that and cracked up! ;) Well done.ReplyDelete
Awesome blog... I love the name... I've have six six and under and yes, tie flies when you're having babies. Blessings...ReplyDelete
I'm not sure what the words in the last picture actually say but based on the context every time I see it I read, "Let's Poo!" lolReplyDelete

Eras Journal – Hardtke, F: Review of "Desert Peoples: Archaeological Perspectives ", Peter Veth, Michael Smith and Peter Hiscock
Peter Veth, Michael Smith and Peter Hiscock,
Desert Peoples: Archaeological Perspectives
Blackwell, Malden, MA., 2004
Isbn 1405100915
Desert Peoples: An Archaeological Perspective provides an overview and perspectives on the issues faced by hunter-gatherers in desert landscapes. It achieves this by setting the scene by reviewing the basic chronological, ethnographic and interpretive frameworks revealing the patterns of desert hunter-gatherer life. It then presents a series of chapters that focus on functionalist aspects and the dynamics of desert societies through patterns of economy and land use. To complement the functionalist aspects, the cultural, social and political factors are then examined to reveal how they shape desert societies. A key consideration in this book is the temporal and spatial variation across those places we refer to as "deserts". In addition the chronology of desert occupation, the relative conditions of these deserts at the time of occupation and the coping strategies as evidenced through the material culture are reviewed in a variety of contexts – the majority being Australian with the remainder from Africa and the Americas.
The "Frameworks" section of the book provides a series of important chronological, interpretive and ethnographic frameworks revealing underlying patterns in desert life. The individual chapters deal with Australian and African desert societies. They serve to highlight the dynamics of continual adaptation in desert societies, how the interpretation of these dynamics can often be flawed, and what role ethnographic information has to play in these processes. Widlock (Chapter 2) contrasts the different anthropological approaches to desert hunter-gatherers, including the reflecting mode of research and the inflecting mode. This chapter is useful in bringing anthropological techniques to archaeology and forcing new perspectives.
The "Dynamics" section of the book provides an archaeological perspective on the long-term dynamics of desert societies over several millennia. Each of the chapters within this section looks at how groups have adapted to changing desert environments and how technological, foraging and social strategies were employed for survival and relative prosperity in the desert. To this end, Bird (Chapter 5) explores the evolutionary and ecological understandings of desert societies in the Great Basin, US, and Australia and shows that the economic lives of these desert hunter-gatherers are influenced by gender-linked foraging strategies. Veth (Chapter 6) examines the central role of the mobility and risk minimising strategies used by Australian Western Desert foragers, emphasising the role played by flexibility in mobility patterns as part of risk minimisation in Australian Western Desert foraging practices. McDonald (Chapter 7) looks at the role of art in examining changing mobility and territoriality as well as symbolising the adaptation of foragers to desert environments. Finally, Borrero (Chapter 8) examines how generalist hunter-gatherers turned to specialisation in the Patagonian cold desert environment in order to compensate for the lack of easily obtainable resources.
The "Interactions" section of the book is concerned with looking beyond the environmental factors shaping desert societies towards the social and political processes. Again this is explored with variations in the spatial and temporal settings. Thackeray (Chapter 9) explores the Late Stone Age of arid Southern Africa and how it sheds light on adaptive strategies to aridification and their relationship to 'social stress' and the choices people made as a result. Przywolnik (Chapter 10) demonstrates using the hunter-gatherers of coastal North Western Australia that the rate and direction of social evolution is often more complex than a simple progression towards increased sedentism. Sadr (Chapter 11) explores the interaction between the San and the Iron Age pastoralists and herders, postulating that one grouping became encapsulated in the other. M. Smith (Chapter 12), using Australian Western Desert language and archaeology, brings them together to demonstrate change in the region through population movement and a rapid colonisation of the Western Desert. Calogero et al. (Chapter 13) explores the evidence for interaction between different groups along the Atacama Desert coast. A. Smith (Chapter 14) explores pastoralists in the Sahara and how aridification could have led to a resurgence of religious beliefs. Finally, Paterson (Chapter 15) again examines interaction, this time between Australian desert indigenes and European pastoralists at the time of first contact.
This book is a very thought provoking and practical volume for world archaeology while providing a much needed focus and reference for those involved in desert archaeology in particular. The tension between notions of variability and notions of "universals" and their intrinsic relationship to "meaning" is a central problem in archaeology – with a current revival of the study of human universals. As such, this book is timely in its attempt to draw parallels between widely divergent regions of the globe (Australia, Africa and the Americas) sharing arid contexts as a common denominator. The patterns and structures that emerge out of the different case studies might be applied to other desert culture contexts, for example the consequences that arise when hunter-gatherer groups contact newcomer groups with more advanced technologies – as it was for the San and Indigenous Australians.
The introductions in each of the primary divisions of Frameworks, Dynamics and Interactions are useful in setting the scene for the case studies provided in the separate chapters and for drawing attention to the key driving themes in Desert Archaeology. The frequent references to anthropological approaches as well as to the hunter-gatherer communities that have been studied with both archaeological and ethnographic means forces new perspectives in a book targeted primarily at the archaeological community.
However, the book may have benefited from a more global and equally balanced coverage of desert communities (approximately half of the case studies refer to Australian contexts). I consider this lack of balance the only negative feature of an otherwise timely and important contribution to Desert Archaeology.

No one knows you better than your best friends. This blog is an experiment in the modern day matchmaking arena. Who better to help you meet Mr. Right than the people that already have your best interest at heart? Follow Amanda and Kate's experiment in life and helping one friend find love.
3 thoughts on "About"
I wish you the best of luck! This is like "Bridget Jones' Diary", only she's not trying to quit cigarettes or loose weight, haha. At least you know you're not alone in this craziness called dating. I think what makes it harder now, especially with technology, is that people, especially guys, don't know how to talk to anyone. It's all texting, no phone calls. I guess its easier to hide behind text. Live your life and the dream Kate! And best of luck! 🙂
This is the best blog I have ever seen. Not only does it capture the female perspective on dating which guys never get a good understanding of, it chronicles the story of a 21st century babe who isn't afraid to take everything into her own hands. Dating can be awkwardly bad but it can be awkwardly good as well. I LOVE the entry about the guy making the comment about selecting the flavor of gin and you immediately wanting to leave. Also the one about the awkward ice skating and non talking in comparison to the teenagers on the ice was awesome. Amanda's entries are also phenomenal, as she gives the "bigger picture" entries as a close concerned friend.
Keep the entries coming!!!!! I need more

"Mobile phones have evolved rapidly from a communication device to a creative and educational tool. The current mediascape can be described as a dynamic ecosystem that has seen the emergence of new media aesthetics and formats, such as iPhoneography and mobile–mentary (mobile documentary) filmmaking. For communities world–wide mobile technologies provide access to a vast amount of new services. (Mobile phone) users (or rather pro–d–users), artists, designers, filmmakers and independent creatives can define new modes of mobile media practices transcending the realm of established disciplines and transforming the contemporary mediascape. The participatory turn in media culture (collaboration, co–creation and crowd–sourcing) creates new opportunities and challenges for visual communication design. Mobile devices enable us to see the world from new viewpoints and angles."

Jhonas Enroth, 19, goalkeeper From Sodertalje to Buffalo Sabres (former club: Huddinge IK) What will be your first goal when you come to camp and the NHL? -- In the first instance to play as good as possible and to make a good impression on the people in the organization. If you do not take place directly in the NHL, then select games in the AHL or Elitserien? -- I will play in the AHL in that case since I have no elitserien contract. What do you know about the Sabres? -- The first goalie Ryan Miller is known quite well, but it is not clear who will be backup, although I think the team will sign someone like David Aebischer or another. I have been in Buffalo in the past and the city and the team seems equally good organization. But in general, I know no one on the team except Dennis Persson. But I read on your website yesterday that he will be lent to a Swedish club the first year. Although some feel safe again some of the other guys from past camps. When do you go over? -- On June 24, I go over to a summer camp for a week, but then no date is clear. Even though it is well at the end of August, I can imagine. What are your summer plans until then? -- I train myself in the morning and with the Huddinge IK in the afternoon, so my summer will most probably consist of training.While we're not sure if David Aebischer is going to be the Sabres backup in 2008-09, we at least have a good idea of when the Summer Prospects Camp is going to be.

Awesome update. Kid is coming over pretty early, wonder if he is going to get some extra attn from Corsi (dont know if thats a good or bad thing!! lol).. Anyway, you going to try and get an 'exclusive' when he is town (obviously, you'd have to comb UB to find a translator)?.. He does seem confident and has an idea what the Sabres plans are w/ goaltending (the transparency is a good thing, unless he just knows that being a back up in the NHl would gain him very little valuable experience). I wonder if the Sabres actually talked to him about their plans, or Aebeshier specifically, or if he was just saying a backup goalie he knew..Reply
I'd love to chat with JE. He has said in the past that he knows he'd have to adjust to the thinner rinks with a season in the AHL. It's always been his plan. I wondered why, of all the names out there, that Enroth would specifically mention Aebischer. With Aebbi being Swiss, perhaps it'd be a nice follow-up to them drafting Sbisa. Hey, you never know.
For the record, my Swedish is solid after chasing "John" and "That Persian" all over the internet the past two seasons. ;)
Plus, we'll be speaking the international language...of hockey (not "love", like in "Better Off Dead")...However, a Swedish translator from UB would certainly get his attention quicker. Inquire within.
My buddy was a foreign exchange student from Sweden and his English was very good and still is, despite being back home. He's far, far from being an academic, so I'd find it hard to imagine (thanks to The Simpsons) that he's an extraordinary case.Reply

Web design can have impressive results when the designer in question has the proper knowledge and skills. The best web designs set that website apart from it's competition. Knowledge is necessary to create a good design. Try expanding your own knowledge of website creation, by using the tips that are listed below.
Speed is king when it comes to webpages, so be sure that your images are loading quickly. If a site visitor ends up waiting for a long time for your web page to load, they will definitely leave your site in search of a similar site that loads faster and will never recommend anyone to your site.
Make sure that all of your colors match one another. The text needs to show against the background easily so your site is easily recognizable as yours. It is typically easier to see darker lettering that is set upon light backgrounds than the reverse. Don't be afraid to ask a friend or colleague for their opinion of the color scheme.
Maintain normal-sized pages. Not all Internet users have fast connection speeds, and the longer your site takes to load, the less interest they will have. Users will be quick to leave a website that has pages that take too long to load.
People don't like to wait when they browse the Internet, so your pages need to load fast even on slow connections. Visitors can quickly become impatient and leave your site if it loads too slowly. They will often move on to another site and usually never return to yours.
Be mindful of your background. Some sites use moving GIF images in the background which may at times be good, but mostly it just makes the text hard to read. Your audience will have a more pleasurable browsing experience if your background is conducive to reading your text.
If you want your website to cater to the needs of visitors, it must be user-friendly and simple to navigate. Display links prominently so that they can be easily found. Menus can make navigation on your site easier. Make sure you have links back to your main pages accessible on every single page of your website; that way, visitors are able to always get around.
Minimize page sizes and loading times. Not every person using Internet has a high-speed connection, so if a site takes longer to load, they won't be as interested in it. If the wait is too long, your visitors may give up and leave.
Learn what you can about site design shortcuts so that you can use them. Many things have shortcuts when it comes to web design, and by taking the time to learn them, you will find faster ways of doing many different tasks. You can even find HTML codes that help you make quick changes.
Quickly Scan
It's not always a good idea to host your website yourself, even when you have a great deal of money sunk in the venture. Design the site, or most of the site yourself, but let someone else host it so that you can focus on its security.
Make it easy for visitors to your website to scan your content. Studies have shown that people usually quickly scan a website rather than thoroughly read it over, as they try to find the stuff that might be interesting to them. Having text in certain areas to create a more bold appearance will catch the attention of readers who quickly scan each page. Also, the more important info should be kept towards the top. All of this ensures a more satisfying experience for your visitors because they can quickly find what they need.
Start investing in books and resources that help you learn to be successful with your web design. Choose books adapted to your current level of skills and very comprehensive. Read reviews before buying anything.
No matter what your website looks like, all the file sizes should be small. Keeping your files small will directly affect how fast your website loads. You should strive to make sure that your website loads as fast as it possibly can. Even though broadband is common these days, there are still people stuck on 56K connections. You should try loading your site on different kinds of connections to see how quickly it loads.
Write content for your page with literacy levels in mind. Using technical lingo may alienate some visitors. To build an audience, your visitors need to be able to comprehend the information you're publishing.
Resist any temptation to use pop-up windows when you design your website. You'll only annoy your visitors with this type of content, regardless of how important the information in the pop-up windows is. If customers see these popups and get frustrated, they may not come back to your site.
Continue learning as you design a site. When you are confident in your abilities to use one technique, you should then move on to mastering the next skill. This could slow down your site-building process, but what you learn during this whole process is invaluable, and soon you will be able to create websites without blinking an eye.
It is important to always make users needs a priority. As a web designer, you should always focus on the viewer's needs. Factors of note are usability, accessibility, user experience and interaction. It is essential that you don't drop the ball on this. As you design your website, look at it from the end user's perspective.
When adding videos to your website, you should take into account that some people's Internet bandwidth isn't very high at all. For example, converting your videos at 5,000 kb/s may be too fast for a user's connection to handle. The end result will be excessive buffering, which may inhibit visitors from viewing your videos at all.
Reducing Flash
A great strategy for planning your website accurately is to utilize a visual sitemap. When you utilize a sitemap that is visual, you can see just how the site's structure is developing. From this point, you will have the ability to identify the areas on the site that need improvements. You will also be able to see what areas you may have forgotten about. Visualizing the project in advance is essential, and a sitemap will make it easier.
Be sure load times for your site are good. Visitors won't wait around forever for pages to load. Some techniques you can use to insure fast loading pages are reducing Flash, minimization of CSS coding, and reducing Flash and graphics on your page.
Having white space (unused space) on your website is actually a great design feature, so don't make the mistake of thinking that your site must be packed to the brim. White space improves readability for your visitors, and they will be able to better read and absorb the information you are providing if your site is not cluttered.
As you are designing your website, keep in mind that you are not required to utilize all of the space available. If you insist on making use of each pixel, your site may end up cluttered. However, by leaving some space between your site's content, you can provide your visitors with an experience that's more comfortable. Space can lend just as much value as information.
One of the biggest mistakes a designer makes is not realizing they built a site that is not accessible to all who may wish to visit it. So be sure to have a few people from many different locations access it and test it for you. This is definitely something you want to do.
Choose some reference books on design principles in general, and web page design in particular. Make sure that you start out with books that are around your web design level. You want to progress, but not skip any information along the way, so you can be great at designing websites.
Make sure that your logo is visible on your page. This links your web pages together, and makes your site have continuity. Also, this will build brand recognition for your site. Choose a logo which represents what your company stands for.
Make your design different than that of other sites in your niche. Visit the competition and compare it to your site. You want to be separate from those in the pack, so you don't want your website too similar to someone else's. You don't want people to think of you as a generic version of one of your competitors, and that's exactly what'll happen if you make similar websites to your competitors.
Obtain feedback from others on the design of your site. What one web designer and you assume is a great web design, many others may find cluttered, confusing or a pain to navigate very easily. Ask some of your website visitors to review your website and report their opinions back to you.
Competency with multiple platforms will come in handy if you intend to set up multiple websites. You need to learn MySQL skills, PHP, Java, and more platforms so that you have more assistance in the future. Be a designer of many talents, whether you are designing a brand new site, or just helping your friend start one.
Find inspiration from other sites on the web. Learn from them and avoid making their mistakes so you look better than your competition.
Use copy and paste to help you create multiple webpages for your website. Instead of generating new HTML code for every single page, copy the main section of code, tweak it where needed, and then save it as a new file each time. By doing this, you can continue to use the master copy over and over again.
If you are determined to purchase a particular domain name, but discover that it is already in use, you should visit some auction sites that sell used domain names, for example Sedo. There you'll find many interesting domain names for sale.
The key to succeeding with website creation is finding out as much as possible from many people. A good web designer is a master of many trades and can work on most any kind of website for any potential client.
Sketch out the layout of your site before you begin to build it. Show some people your designs, and get their feedback.
Think things over very carefully before adding Flash content to your website. Although it provides some unique effects and very snazzy aesthetics, there are many people out there using older computers that will start to lag, or even crash, when they visit a Flash-heavy website. Also, many computers, especially tablet computers like the iPad, do not even have Flash capabilities. Not being able to see elements of your site might cause visitors to leave and never return.
When you design a website, don't forget to put in a link that points directly to your blog. The information posted should be of high quality and shows the visitor that this content is a topic that you are well informed of. It can also be a more informal and interactive place for visitors to leave comments.
Website Development
Most likely, your site visitors will want to see content as opposed to overwhelming design features. Keep your pages minimal, easy to navigate, and focused, so your website communication will be easily understood and appreciated by your visitors. The simpler the page is, the more likely it will load in a quick way.
It is quite apparent that proficient knowledge, skills and abilities positively affect the positive outcome of your website design ventures. It's pretty easy to distinguish excellent website development for terrible website development, but it may be harder to articulate some of the subtle things that need to be learned to make a website great. Putting these tips into practice will lead to effective website development.
Professional web design companies can be very beneficial when it comes to helping you get the type of website you want. Some of the best products are not as good as a professional.

We want to create a memorial in Scotland for friends and families to visit to remember loved ones. A symbol of not only the lives lost but their battle so bravely fought. A positive place to remember happy times. We would like it to be something beautiful, evocative and have significance for all those involved.
Please help us make this Memorial a reality.

FIRST SINGLE #WORK ft. @Drake from #ANTI is here!! Listen up --> https://t.co/CYqrvPRahc pic.twitter.com/0WvHi4x3Ut
— Rihanna (@rihanna) January 27, 2016
Rihanna Puts in "Work" and Releases First Single for New Album
Jan. 27, 2016
The much-anticipated release of Rihanna's album "Anti" is inching nearer. Rihanna released the first single, "Work," on Wednesday morning in a tweet to fans. The song is available exclusively on Tidal.
The new track features Drake, a regular collaboration for Rihanna. The two have also teamed up for "Take Care" and "What's My Name?"
"Anti" is Rihanna's first album since 2012's "Unapologetic." She released three singles in 2015, including "FourFiveSeconds," "Bitch Better Have My Money" and "American Oxygen." Will those songs be on the new album, too?
