The lynx is a somewhat mysterious and misunderstood animal. The lynx is seldom seen as it's habitat is away from human habitation so rumors abound about what this animal . The present lynx popualtion is in no danger. The population has a peak cycle every ten years which coincides with peak snowshoe hare population cycle highs. When the snow shoe hare population crashes,lynx will travel widely in search of their favorite prey. They will also eat other species such as deer fawns although it's not proven that they actually pursue and attack the fawns.
A super presentation by Gabby and Seth Yates cleared up many of the mysteries when they gave a presentation to the Red Deer River Naturalists on Feb. 25. They introduced us to an animal with all kinds of interesting characteristics. Gabby Yates is doing research for her Ph.D. She has set up a study area centered at Nordegg Alberta. She wants to collar 20 lynx and study their movement and relate it to the population cycles of snowshoe hare, vegetation and climate. Lynx are tremendous travellers. Some travel up to 2500 km. Why? This information is being related to lynx which are trapped in B. C. and Alberta.
They have found lynx to have some surprising characteristics. These cats are fairly mild mannered and laid back. They only move if they think you are a threat. When Gabby and Seth find lynx in a box trap the lynx are usually calmly waiting to be released. It's nothing to find previously caught and released animals to be back in the same traps waiting to be released again. They have learned that these box traps contain food . Many excellent photographs and videos of lynx were included in the presentation.
These two presenters were bombarbed with many questions which they patiently and fully answered as they have a broad knowledge of this animal. They work closely with Alberta trappers have a srong sense of stewardship and they want to ensure that lynxwill continue to thrive on their traplines. They find trappers and trapping to not be a threat for lynx. Trappers turn in a small piece if hide which the researchers do DNA testing on and as a result are able to identify each lynx and who mit's relatives are . If the lynx has moved in from somewhere else, the DNA gives them an idea where it may have come from.
Gabby and Seth also use some sophisticated satellite technology to follow their study animals. New light weight radio collars allow them to track the lynx anywhere in North America.
I have spent many of my years outdoors in lynx habitiat , but I have never seen one. This presentation gave me a realistic experience with a very important animal in our eco system.

The Differences Between New York and San Francisco
The differences between living in New York and San Francisco can be best explained through simple drawings, showing what one city has as opposed to the other. Yes, it's really that simple, and if you have been living in any of these two cities, you will quickly catch on and start adding your own things on the list.
Comedian Sarah Cooper, from TheCooperReview, decided to create this 'battle' between cities, after moving to San Francisco. For the past 5 years she has been living in New York, but not anymore. Here are the main differences she came up with almost instantly after moving to the West Coast.
What city are you currently living in? Is it better or worst than the cities you have lived in before? Let us know in the comments! We're dying to see even more differences between 'rival' cities, or contenders for 'the best city to live in' title!
Street folk be like…
And how about the attitude?
This is where big lifestyle differences kick in.
This one is easy.
Predictable. Prepare to change your topics of discussion.
Both are still very expensive.
It's time to change your ways.
This is just garbage…

You can spot the differences between the West and East Coasts.
Been there, done that!
Better of 'brunchless'
Some people are always late, no matter the city.

I'm hungry, it's 1906, we're in Phoenix, so let's get some Chinese Food. I know a great place that opened three years ago called the American Kitchen. It's on Center Street between Washington and Adams.
|1903 ad for the opening of the American Kitchen, Phoenix, Arizona.
Yeah, I know the name "American Kitchen" doesn't sound like a Chinese Food restaurant, but it is. No, I don't speak any Chinese, but the owner, Yee Sing, does, and so do all of the people who work there. Well, enough so that we can get some good food. Come on! They serve the kind of Chinese Food that's so popular in San Francisco these days, you know, Chow Mein, Chinese Noodles, Chop Suey. No, I have no idea if that's what they eat in China, but it's what they eat in California, and it sounds good to me!
|Ad for the American Kitchen and the English Kitchen in 1911, Phoenix, Arizona
Let's see, for the two of us we'll need seventy cents. And then about a dime for a tip. Do we have enough. Sure! Let's go!
There's a large Chinese community in Phoenix, mostly east of Center and south of Monroe. They pretty much keep to themselves, and are quiet, except on the Chinese New Year. I'm sure you've heard the noise. It's enough to scare the devil, and I guess it does!

Olympic Games (1 medal - 1 gold)

Fosbury's flop is a hit in Mexico
Astonished spectators in Mexico watched Dick Fosbury jump backwards over the bar as all his rivals chose the conventional method of jumping on their stomaches.
This technique would have only been an intriguing footnote in the annals of Olympic history but for one crucial point - Fosbury used it to capture the gold medal with a jump of 2.24 metres.
Yet prior to Mexico, Dick Fosbury's "flop" had enormous difficulty in being accepted and only his own perseverance was able to silence his detractors.
Even his trainer, Berny Wagner, tried to convince him to give up the sport. The son of English immigrants persevered and, in 1967, qualified for his international debut when he scaled 2.21m to mark himself down as a serious outsider.
He promptly cleared 2.24m to win gold and beat Valeri Brumel's Olympic record.
The victory won over his critics, with the majority of high jumpers adopting his technique from October 20, 1968, the day of the Mexico high jump final.
Immortal in name
Fosbury is unique in the world of athletics as the only sportsman to lend his name to a particular style.
Sport, however, was only an enjoyable pastime and, much like his compatriot Bob Beamon, he experienced difficulty in building on that success.
He travelled all over the world to find a cure for depression before returning to the States to settle with his wife and child and to pursue a career as a bridge and highways engineer.
In 1972 he made a comeback but his best performance was only 2.08m, his hopes of competing in the Munich Games extinguished.
He was to speak only of the "flop" (i.e. dropping his own name) and was adamant that if he hadn't adopted the technique somebody else would have done so in his place.

Okay Lakers Nation it is a lonely Thursday afternoon here in Laker Land, as the dog days of August slowly drift away and we inch ever closer to the start of the new NBA season. So for today we want to hear from you! Yes, you! Excited yet? I certainly hope so. So let's get started.
Lakers Nation here is the situation. It is Game 7 of the NBA Finals in Staples Center. The Lakers versus the Celtics, and there are only ten seconds left in the game. Now this situation seems easy enough, but let's make it a little more tricky. Would you, assuming the you I am speaking to is indeed a Lakers fan, rather have the lead by a point on defense or trail by one with the ball? You see this question may not be as easy an answer as it seems. Let us explore.
First off let's take a look at the obvious answer. The lead. You always want the lead, no matter the situation. The odds of a shot being made are generally lower than being missed because on average there is much more working against a made basket than working in it's favor. A seemingly
perfect shot can barely tick the rim and veer off course, a perfect example being Courtney Lee's potential game winning lay-up in Game 2 of this last year's finals. Also taken into consideration is the skill level of the team defense. Now, the defense of the Lakers may be a punchline at times but they have been known to step it up in big situations; just look at the way they locked down on the Orlando Magic in the Finals back in June. It would appear on the surface that the obvious choice would be to take the lead and hope for the best, but let's dig a little deeper and see what else we can discover.
Alright, behind door number two is the apparent riskier challenge. However, in this situation it seems that you control your own destiny more than you would on defense. It is up to you to put the ball in the hole, meaning that ultimately the win or loss is decided by your team. That is a good place to be, with control. Although, for Lakers fans there is another very large elephant in the room, and the elephant is actually shaped like a killer viper known as the Black Mamba. Kobe Bryant is the best in the game today and hitting big shots in do or die situations, and that would be a huge factor in this situation. Would you trust Kobe to get the job done, even though the other team will most certainly know that he is probably going to get the shot? Do not forget that Bryant has missed just as many if not more potential game winners than he has made, but in this case it only takes one.
Okay Lakers Nation, where do we go from here? Do you give up the lead to give your man Mr. Bryant a shot at the title or do you trust your team as a whole to play ten seconds of tough defense and scrape out a victory?
This may be a case where there is not even a right or wrong answer, but let us hear what you think regardless.

The exquisitely handmade and beautifully designed products are absolute must-haves for any design conscious parent!
LoA chatted to Nkemdelim Begho, one of the founders of Always Me by Anne Li, to find out more about this wonderful new business venture.
Tell us more about your new venture, Always Me by Anne Li
Always Me By Anne Li specialises in creating handcrafted gifts for babies, toddlers and their parents! At Always Me we believe that it is the magical moments in all of our lives that count and seeing your little ones play, laugh and simply live life to the fullest is the most beautiful thing.

You also have the option to personalise or customise any of our products, making them even more special.
"In Nigeria, entrepreneurship is interwoven into the society and culture, thus we all come from an entrepreneurial background in one way or the other."
What inspired you to start the company?
The Always Me by Anne Li product line was inspired by the birth of the daughter of one of the founders of our company and has grown through our shared passion for creating long-lasting memories for parents and their babies. After seeing the reactions to our first ever products at the baby-shower, we were inspired to share the joy that our unique pieces bring. At Always Me we love unique pieces, therefore we do not repeat designs for most of our products. Only pillows, bibs and onesies are produced in multiples, all other pieces are unique and produced only once, which makes them a one of a kind, something which mothers and fathers love.
What makes your products so unique?
Our products are unique because they are handcrafted. They are made with carefully chosen quality materials that are child friendly. We test our products' durability and ensure that the finishing is done to a very high standard. We have a carefully thought through quality control process that helps ensure the quality and standard of our products.
Apart from the quality, products like our playmats are made only once! We love these unique pieces, therefore we do not repeat designs for most of our products. They can also be customised with the baby's name, date of birth, or even a bible verse, a wish or a prayer.
Lastly the colours are absolutely amazing and we spend hours selecting fabrics that appeal to children.
"We are looking to extend our product range within the next year and increase our production capacity, as well as expand our distribution network into other countries within Africa and Europe."
Tell us a little about your team
The Always Me by Anne Li brand was founded by 3 women who have 4 things in common - they are all friends, they all love business, they all share the same vision for the company, and they all have other full-time jobs. The team is very versatile and includes:
Ashim Egunjobi, who works in real-estate finance by day and manages everything finance for Always Me by night.
Ijeome Nwoke who works in pre-sales at a leading OEM in Nigeria by day and manages everything distribution and supply chain at night.
Nkemdilim Begho who runs Futuresoft, an IT service company by day and manages everything product development and design by night.
As a team we stay true to ourselves and are ALWAYS ME!
Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And, do you come from an entrepreneurial background?
Our journey started with a vision inspired by the birth of the daughter of one of the co-founders and has since spiralled into a small company with a team of talented tailors! We officially launched the brand in November 2014, so we are still brand new and have not yet hit our 6 month milestone…..The brand has been well received and we have been able to build a client base within and outside of our network with lots of return clients who help spread the word and love the pieces we produce. They also help give amazing insight to what else we should be thinking of. We can't wait to see where it takes us!
In terms of our entrepreneurial background, in Nigeria entrepreneurship is interwoven into the society and culture, thus we all come from an entrepreneurial background in one way or the other.
What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?
We are looking to extend our product range within the next year and increase our production capacity, as well as expand our distribution network into other countries within Africa and Europe. We are currently working on finding suitable partners and ensuring that we have seamless logistics. We also hope to have a physical store in Lagos by the end of the year.
"What gives us the most satisfaction? The fact that what we are doing brings joy to others is absolutely priceless!"
What gives you the most satisfaction being an entrepreneur?
Mmmmhhhh…..Happy clients and the ooohs and aaahs we get when people see and experience our products, as well as the pictures they send of their lovely babies and kids using our products. The fact that what you are doing brings joy to others is absolutely priceless! The other day we were busy exhibiting our new collection when two lovely ladies approached us, one after the other, to say they had recently received an Always Me playmat for their babies and were just blown away by it. That sort of affirmation keeps us going. We also have loads of clients who send us photos of their babies and tots using the products which absolutely warms our hearts.
What's the biggest piece of advice you can give to other women looking to start-up?
Believe in your vision, share it with the world and never give up. Put aside all your fears - if your dreams don't scare you they aren't big enough!

We have the opportunity right now to assume any position we want to assume, why not choose Love? What loving action is calling to be made, right now. What expression of joy wants to flow forward into the world? What peace filled experience do you want to share? Now is the time.
The man or woman in the mirror who needs to remember the truth of who you are and why you are here on the planet is staring back at you ready for action. Now is the time.
There are a lot of conversations we could be having about how tricky these situations we find ourselves in is, or how caught up I am in my feelings, and spending energy explaining everything, but, the only conversation we need to have is 'Am I being loving? Am I being compassionate? Am I being kind? Am I being of service?' If the answer you get back is no. Take a moment to consider the possibility today is a day for a shift. Standing in the light of your authentic self in the seat of your soul's code.
This is the space of remembering we are powerful beyond measure and this is who we always are. It is our birthright.
We can't keep up with everything that is taking place in the world and we do no not have time to worry about what we can do nothing about. Our voice is important. Exercising that voice with love is our responsibility. Growing up in the commonwealth of Pennsylvannia in the heart of William Penn's influence of Quakerism where 'every voice counts' we rise into the truth, the microcosm is the macrocosm, our internal expression and voice is everything as we are all one.
As such, the focus falls to the individual. It falls to the places and spaces of our personal playing field in our present community. The areas of our hearts where we are in community with the world.
Doing the right thing is only possible when we have been taught to practice loving thought, when we have a discipline to move through the every creating illusions of our fears.
Let's trust in love and make that the bottom line.
The work is simple. Be Love. Consider the possibility there is another way to look at any situation and to be joy filled in your loving actions. Life is an ongoing exercise of love in compassionate action. It is all things in all ways and the essence of a people's faith in each other.
If you have any thoughts or want to contribute to our next Mels Love Land annual event or our ongoing #MiniMag please reach out firstname.lastname@example.com

Hungry United driven by fear
Manchester United 2 Arsenal 0
THE DIFFICULTY OF MOTIVATING ludicrously wealthy young footballers is one that deeply troubles even managers as successful as Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger. Both endure periods of helplessness when they feel that their raging fury/persuasive cajoling (delete as appropriate) is having such little impact that they are wasting their breath.
Fortunately, there remains the fear of failure, the dread of public embarrassment to provoke a response from players who have dropped below acceptable standards. Manchester United were driven by a full tank of fear on Saturday, while Arsenal were empty. The result is that Wenger's men suddenly do have something to worry about if they are to retain their championship crown.
That Saturday's enthralling duel was decided not by talent but by desire should…

Life insurers may be allowed to invest in infra bonds
Recently, a news came from IRDA that Life insurers may be allowed to invest in long-term infrastructure bonds proposed by the India Infrastructure Finance Co. They can invest for refinancing greenfield infrastructure projects. It is the decision of IRDA and the group has decided to allow insurers to invest in India Infrastructure Debt Fund bonds.
About this economictimes.indiatimes.com quotes a statement of R K Nair, "We found the Deepak Parekh Committee recommendations favourable for insurers and have forwarded our views to the government. The Deepak Parekh committee has recommended that insurance companies can invest in the proposed India Infrastructure Debt Fund."
Further the news portal writes, "Long-term financial instruments will help life insurance companies develop their annuity business. Insurers have so far remained away from investing in greenfield infrastructure projects.
These were considered risky. However, insurance being a long term business, insurers have been looking for long term investment avenues, but there are none available other than 10-year government securities. Insurers are also not too comfortable with investing directly in greenfield infrastructure projects since these have a high rate of failure.
Hence, a mechanism that could take away the risk of failure, could be very helpful for insurers and also cater to their long-term investment requirements. As of now, debt financing for infrastructure projects has been largely confined to commercial banks who are increasingly finding it difficult to provide long-term debt due to their asset-liability mismatch."
Further the news portal publishes a report of planning commission, "The committee said Rs 20,000 crore could come from domestic insurance and pension funds, while foreign insurance and pension funds may provide another Rs 10,000 crore. Rest would come from other sectors."
"The planning commission had decided to set up a committee to look into the viability and modalities of creating India Infrastructure Debt Fund under the chairmanship of Deepak Parekh."
SEBI has banned 14 life insurance companies from issuing ULIP
Recently, market regulator SEBI banned 14 life insurance companies from issuing ULIP. ET writes about those companies who have been banned by SEBI, "The 14 companies mentioned in this order include; Aegon Religare, Aviva, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, Bharti AXA, Birla Sun Life, HDFC Standard Life, ICICI Prudential, ING Vyasa Life, Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life, Max New York Life, Metlife India, Reliance Life, SBI Life, TATA AIG Life."
J Harinarayan who is the chairman of IRDA said, "After due consultation with the members of the consultative committee all the 14 insurance companies which are mentioned in the order of Sebi are directed to note that notwithstanding the said order of the Sebi, they shall continue to carry out insurance business as usual including offering, marketing and servicing ULIPs in accordance with the Insurance Act 1938."
The statement was published in economictimes.indiatimes.com, an online news portal about economy and business.
Further the news portal quotes another statement of IRDA, "The IRDA Act `99 is specifically enacted to provide for an authority to protect the interests of holders of insurance policies, to regulate, promote and ensure the orderly growth of the insurance industry."
In an analysis the news portal quotes some data of IRDA, "Sebi's order has more far reaching implications than a press release or a circular. Since the order has been issued under Section 34(i) (a) and (b) of the insurance Act. IRDA has said that in the year `08-09 ULIP policies involving a total premium of Rs 90,645 cr were in force. In fiscal `09-10 upto February 16.7 lakh policies have been sold with a premium of Rs 44,611crores."
Now, the whole things are very clear from the above mentioned data. It is nothing but regulatory battle in insurance segment of India. It is the biggest news in life insurance segments for insurance companies just like M&A guidelines for insurance companies.
VISSS of IRDA and Subh Nivesh of SBI Life Insurance
There is the biggest news in insurance department of India related to VISSS and Subh Nivesh. VISSS is Vehicle Insurance Status SMS System and Subh Nivesh is a type of life insurance plan of SBI.
Currently, IRDA is working on VISSS project to create a large database about motor policy information by all insurance companies. This is a type of technology which will enable simple SMS query to ascertain whether a vehicle is insured or not. VISSS would provide an additional facility to police authority to verify insurance status of the vehicle.
So, VISSS will be an SMS technological system of IRDA where all vehicle information will be available from all insurance companies whether a motor insured or not.
There is other the most popular news about SBI Subh Nivesh policy which has been recently introduced. Subh Nivesh of SBI is a traditional life insurance plan. Subh Nivesh plan has been designed to savings, protection and income needs of customers which will cover risk-averse profile.
M N Rao who is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of SBI Life Insurance, said in press release,
"Strengthening our product suite, the introduction of Shubh Nivesh is a step towards presenting customers a range of solutions which enables them to choose one that best suits their risk profile and financial needs. The product is available in two options. In endowment assurance option, the accrued bonus and the sum assured amount is payable during an unfortunate event of death during the endowment term or on survival at the end of term."
So, the Subh Nivesh policy of SBI is not just very new, it is similar to JEEVAN ANAND policy of LIC. Subh Nivesh policy with endowment option will give a sum assured amount on an unfortunate event of death even after the completion of 100 years of age.
There is some very good attractive option with maturity payment options of Subh Nivesh of SBI life insurance.
M&A Guidelines Coming for Insurance Companies
Recently, IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority announced that within two months M&A (Merger and Acquisitions) guidelines will be available for insurance companies.
J Hari Narayan who is the chairman of IRDA said to the reports of ET in a function which was organized by FICCI,
"It (guidelines) would be out soon. It is most likely to be finalized in the next couple of months. We have not taken any view we are examining it. We are examining the possibility."
Currently, there is no any specific guideline for M&A in insurance sector over the country. Now, here are 22 life insurance firms and 21 non-life insurance companies in the country.
According to the Narayan, today non-life insurance products are taking large share. A data represents that more than 300 health insurance products have been offered by over 30 insurance companies which are both – general and life insurance.
Related to the insurance products there is big news which state that now car insurance will be comprehensive. Recently, the news came in light that if you want a motor insurance then you needn't to go motor insurance companies because it will be now through any insurance companies.
The Economic Times published the news,
An official at the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), while asking consumers to be more aware, says, "Dealers are neither agents, nor brokers' insurers. What they quote is what they get from insurers. They can't quote more or less than that.'' Consumers should cross-check the price offered by various insurers, says the official. "Nobody should get carried away. No dealer can force you to get insurance.''
Now, it is clear that in insurance sector a big change is going on. How much is effective the guidelines and car insurance feature, we will see in future. Still we are also looking some drastic changes in insurance products which may be useful for customers.

You finally got the engagement ring you have been waiting so long for. What better way to motivate you to get back into the gym and lose those extra 5 pounds you have been trying to lose since freshman year! Don't resort to quick fixes such as diet pills or extreme exercise plans. Many of us make this mistake and soon realize that there is no such thing as a miracle pill for losing weight. You have to put in the time and be patient.
Fall is here and us Fall Brides have to worry about the holiday weight gain and being able to hide behind big baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants doesn't help. We sometimes forget we have to still fit into that perfect dress come Wedding Day.
What to do? Well, I have some solutions.
First, FOOD. Often people say "don't eat"!- WRONG! Moderation is key. You can continue eating what you love, just don't over indulge yourself. Limit your alcohol intake. Try tracking your food and keep a journal of what you are eating and drinking throughout the day. Start with a healthy breakfast to fire up your metabolism and make sure to drink plenty of water. Studies have shown "breakfast eaters tend to consume fewer total calories during the day than people who don't eat a morning meal".
Goal – Eat more healthy and become more aware of what you are putting into your body.
Second, FITNESS. People say, "just run, you will lose weight that way"!-WRONG AGAIN! In order to lose weight and burn that stubborn body fat you need to build muscle. Sometimes us women don't like to hear that we need to lift weights, we think that we will start to look like a man. But its quite the opposite. Building muscle burns fat. Yeah, the scale might say we weigh more due to muscle weighing more than fat, but at the end of the day, you will be able to fit back into those freshman clothes. Make working out a priority. Treat it like an appointment. Your not going to miss your appointment with the wedding planner or cake decorator- so don't miss the gym! You can't let your workout routine fall by the wayside so make sure you have support from your fiance or get a workout partner so you can both motivate each other.
Goal-Challenge yourself with a fitness routine and stick with it till the wedding!
Thirdly, HAVE FUN. The wedding isn't just about looking great for the pictures! Even though sometimes that's all we can think about. It's about feeling good about yourself and being excited about marrying your best friend. Make sure you are keeping yourself healthy by eating properly and working out so that you can enjoy and have energy for the road ahead of you!
Goal- Have your fiance work out with you- "A couple that sweats together- Stays together"

As a Real Estate Agent, I get a lot of questions from potential home buyers every day.
The one I get a lot is "Should I buy a home now or should I stay renting?"
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. You need to decide what is best for you, not what your friends or the local media are telling you to do.
One of the advantages to renting is that you usually are not responsible for most of the maintenance. All you have to do is call the landlord.
For some people who have no inclination to learn how to fix the small things, renting may be the best option for them.
However from a financial standpoint, when you rent you don't build equity for your future. You won't be able to take advantage of the tax benefits and you are not protected from rental increases.
You also will not be free to make any changes in your rental property without clearing it first with the landlord.
Owning a home gives you some advantages that may outweigh those of renting. Every time you make a mortgage payment you are building equity and getting a return on your investment. You can also qualify for tax breaks that will actually lower your out of pocket costs.
When you buy a home you usually have more room for a growing family than you would in a small apartment.
You can pick the colors you want and go crazy decorating.
You don't have to worry so much about making noise because your neighbor won't be on the other side of the wall. You might even have a garage to keep your car protected from the elements.
Yes, you may have to fix a few things, but just think about the freedom, and security of owning your own home.
It may just be worth it.
Make a list of the pros and cons and I'm sure you will make the decision that is right for you.

Fully Licensed & Bonded
Matara is the largest town on Sri Lanka's popular south coast,
hosting the terminus of the railway line from Colombo. Today it is
a quiet town, but in past centuries was a thriving port central to
the spice and gem trade with the East and Holland. The original
town was established on a narrow peninsula in the estuary of the
Nilwala River, which was fortified by the Dutch. The original walls
still stand, containing some rather dilapidated old buildings
dating from the Dutch colonial era. Matara is scenically
attractive, surrounded by paddy fields and tea estates on the
fertile river floodplain. The area also boasts some sandy, safe
beaches. These assets have ensured that the town is a popular
tourist destination removed from the trouble spots in the north of
the island, where civil unrest remains a threat.
The unit of currency is the Sri Lanka Rupee (LKR), which is
divided into 100 cents. Major credit cards are widely accepted, and
travellers cheques in US Dollars are recommended. ATMs are becoming
more common, but outside the main cities they are unlikely to
accept international cards. Credit cards should be used with
caution due to the potential for fraud. Foreign currency can be
exchanged at bureaux de change, banks and hotels, but exchanging
cash is more expensive than exchanging travellers cheques. Banks
are closed on Sundays.
The southern beaches of Sri Lanka are the most popular for
tourists, the main season extending from October to April when the
monsoon has moved on and the sea is calm and tranquil under bright
blue skies. Bentota is one of the loveliest resorts on the coastal
road, featuring good hotels, watersports and a beach at the river
mouth. Divers enjoy Hikkaduwa, where there is a marine sanctuary
abundant with coral and tropical fish. Close to Galle is Unawatuna
with its beautiful stretch of safe sandy beach. At Kudawella a
novel feature is a blowhole that throws huge columns of water into
the air when ocean waves break on the rocks. The Kirinda beach just
south of the town of Tissa is renowned for offering spectacular
scuba diving opportunities.
The port town of Galle, about 60 miles (100km) south of Colombo
and a short distance west of Matara, is steeped in the heritage of
the Dutch presence in Sri Lanka, dominated by the 36-hectare
(89-acre) Dutch Fort, built in 1663, with its massive ramparts on a
promontory. Inside the walls of the fort is the old part containing
Galle houses, Dutch homesteads, museums and churches, as well as
the New Oriental Hotel, originally the home of the Dutch governors.
The town has a small beach but most sun-lovers find better beaches
a little out of town along the coast road.
During their occupation of Sri Lanka the Dutch built a small
outpost fort on the north bank of the Nilwala estuary at Matara in
the form of a five-pointed star, in order to guard the river
crossing. The fort, dating from 1763, now contains a museum
featuring a collection of historic paintings and frescoes on wooden
Not all Buddhist temples are ancient, nor are they all
conservative affairs. The colourful, somewhat garish, modern
Wewurukannala Temple at Dikwella village near Matara is quite an
eyeful, featuring hundreds of brightly painted and gilded models
depicting scenes from the life of Buddha, and numerous murals, some
of them rather ghoulish. There is also a Buddha effigy that is one
of the world's tallest, equalling the height of a five-storey
building, which visitors can ascend on the inside to enjoy the view
from the top.
Elephants are the most often-spotted inhabitants of the vast
Yala National Park in the southeast of Sri Lanka, east of Matara,
but they share the reserve with 130 different species of birds and
other creatures like sambhur, spotted deer, sloths, crocodiles,
monkeys, wild boar and porcupines. There is also a large
concentration of leopards in this, the country's oldest protected
area. Most of the reserve is open parkland, but it also contains
jungle, beaches, lakes and rivers. Areas of the park were badly
damaged by the 2004 tsunami, but most parts are open to the public.
The park is somewhat remote, the nearest town being Tissa, and is
situated about 190 miles (305km) from Colombo. Yala is also dotted
with a number of fascinating archaeological sites, like the Magul
Maha Vihara ruins, dating from the 1st century BC.

Minnesota rehabilitation counselors may be eligible for multiple credentials. One option is to be nationally certified as a rehabilitation counselor and then state registered as a qualified rehabilitation consultant; this authorizes employment in vocational rehabilitation/ workman's compensation.
A rehabilitation counselor may also be eligible for state licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). These two licenses, issued by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy, each have their own education, examination, and supervised practice requirements; the LPCC grants a greater scope of practice, focused on mental health practice.
Select a Minnesota Rehabilitation Counselor Topic:
- Educational requirements for those seeking Professional Counselor or CRC status as a Rehabilitation Counselor
- Examination Requirements for those seeking Professional Counselor and/or CRC status as a Rehabilitation Counselors
- Supervised Practice Requirements for those seeking Professional Counselor status as a Rehabilitation Counselor
- The License Application Process
- License Reciprocity
- Contacts and Professional Organizations
Educational requirements for those seeking Professional Counselor or CRC status as a Rehabilitation Counselor
Licensure as a professional counselor depends on completion of a degree at the master's or doctoral level. The same is true for national certification as a national rehabilitation counselor, although an individual with lesser education can become a Minnesota qualified rehabilitation consultant; this would entail seeking alternative certification as a disability management specialist.
Minimum program length is generally 48 semester hours. Programs accredited by the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) include at least 48; while CORE accreditation is not mandatory, it hastens the process of becoming a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. A prospective LPC or LPCC will need to complete a program of at least 48 semester hours before licensure and complete additional hours during the initial four years of licensure to bring the total up to 60 semester hours (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/?id=2150.2520).
License qualifying programs are subject to state mandates. The degree may be earned in counseling or a related field. If a program is not accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), it must be housed in a regionally accredited institution.
To be eligible for LPC or LPCC licensure, a student must complete coursework in ten core counseling areas:
- Human growth and development
- The helping relationship/ counseling theory and practice
- Lifestyle and career development
- Group dynamics and processes, counseling and consulting
- Appraisal and assessment
- Mental and emotional disorders/ dysfunctional behavior
- Social and cultural foundations/ multicultural issues
- Family therapy and counseling
- Ethics and professional orientation
- Research and evaluation
A candidate for LPC licensure must have 700 hours of combined practicum and internship; a prospective licensee who does not meet this requirement may enroll in an educational program and complete the requirement post-master; it is also permissible to make up some coursework deficiencies post-master.
In addition to meeting educational requirements at the LPC level, an LPCC must have at least 24 semester hours of clinical coursework, to include the following content areas:
- Diagnostic assessment
- Clinical treatment planning
- Clinical intervention methods
- Methodologies for evaluating intervention effectiveness
- Cultural diversity
- Professional ethics, as it relates to clinical practice
Counselors who apply by the 'general method' (without first being licensed as LPCs) will need to meet minimum semester hour requirements in each of the above clinical content areas. The application package includes a detailed description of the course content that can be applied to each category.
Examination Requirements for those seeking Professional Counselor and/or CRC status as a Rehabilitation Counselor
To receive credentials, a prospective counselor must go through an examination process. Minnesota rehabilitation counselors can potentially make themselves eligible for multiple credentials by passing one examination: the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) Examination, offered by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification. Although the examination officially approved for LPC licensure is the National Counselor Examination (NCE), the Board has the authority to accept other examinations judged to be equivalent. According to the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification, the CRC examination is, by departmental policy, accepted in Minnesota (https://www.crccertification.com/pages/state_licensure/221.php).
The CRC is available in three annual eight-day testing windows. Applications, however, need to be in several months prior to the start of the testing window. Applicants must establish eligibility (http://www.crccertification.com/pages/eligibility_requirements/69.php). A student in a CORE-accredited rehabilitation counseling programs can apply before all program requirements have been met, provided that the appropriate school official confirms that he or she is indeed enrolled in an accredited program with a CRC-supervised 600-hour internship, and that at least 75% of requirements will have been met by the qualifying date. Graduates of CORE-accredited master's programs or doctoral level counseling programs will need to document qualifying internship, but no additional work experience; other applicants will need to document employment within the field.
Licensure as an LPCC requires additional examination. Prospective LPCCs must pass the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE), offered by the National Board for Certified Counselors. Registration information can be found on the "Minnesota" page of the NBCC website (http://www.nbcc.org/directory/MN).
Supervised Practice Requirements for those seeking Professional Counselor status as a Rehabilitation Counselor
Full licensure as an LPC or LPCC depends on meeting a supervised practice requirement.
Although LPC has a supervised practice requirement of 2,000 hours, a professional can be licensed before meeting the requirement, provided a supervision plan is in place. The licensing agency also has the authority to accept hours accrued before licensing provided that all requirements were met. Supervision must meet ratios set in Board rule. The LPC must complete supervision to receive a designation of independent practice.
The LPCC has a supervised practice requirement of 4,000 hours, to include 1,800 of direct client contact; unlike the LPC, the LPCC credential cannot be earned until all hours have been accrued. A counselor who first earns an LPC with independent practice authorization can earn the LPCC after an additional 2,000 hours, provided the practice includes at least 900 hours of direct client contact.
The supervisor may be someone who has already been designated as an approved supervisor or who meets requirements (https://mn.gov/boards/behavioral-health/lpc-and-lpcc/). A list of approved supervisors is available.
Graduates of non-CORE master's programs will need varying amounts of practice before certification.
An initial applicant for the QRP credential will serve at least a one year internship (http://www.dli.mn.gov/WC/BecomeRehabProv.asp). An employee may be allowed up to three years to achieve full credentialing as a QRP.
The Application Process
A professional who meets qualifications for LPC or LPCC will apply to the Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (http://mn.gov/boards/behavioral-health/). Application forms can be downloaded from the BBHT website. LPCs who are ready to convert to LPCC will also find the necessary paperwork. The combined application, license, and surcharge fee is $425 at the LPC or LPCC level.
The candidate is to submit relevant graduate transcripts. Clinical coursework is documented by syllabi.
The Board will require supervisory documentation.
The applicant will attach a two-by-two photograph and have the application notarized.
Individuals who need a QRC will apply through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (http://www.dli.mn.gov/WC/BecomeRehabProv.asp). An applicant for initial credentialing pays a $110 fee.
License Reciprocity
Out-of-state counselors must provide license verification.
Minnesota extends reciprocity to out-of-state counselors in cases where both the requirements and the scope of practice are substantively similar. The Minnesota Board has reviewed many states and has provided a list of state licenses that do and do not meet requirements at the LPC (https://mn.gov/boards/behavioral-health/lpc-and-lpcc/) and LPCC (https://mn.gov/boards/behavioral-health/lpc-and-lpcc/) level. The Board notes that some state licenses have not yet been reviewed.

Freaky Friday
I was trying to find a suitable shot for Friday the 13th - a banana skin on the ground with a foot about to step on it, a man walking under a ladder, a black cat crossing someone's path, or a bloke in a hockey mask wielding a machete...that kind of thing. But then I've never really been any good at set ups and prefer the more natural, observed, chance shots.*
And so lick would have it that we met up with the future Mrs G out for some leaving drinks. Turns out one of her friends had some pretty impressive (and appropriate for the freakishness of the date) abilities. Can you cross your elbows, interlock your fingers and then fit your head through the gap in your fore-arms? Can you put your hand flat on a table then rotate it through near enough 360 degrees, without moving your arm? And the finale...can you lick your own elbow?
* please note my general inability to stage photos meant this being a preference out of necessity rather than choice

A statute of limitations is the amount of time you have to take legal action (i.e., to file a complaint or lawsuit) against someone else. The legal "clock" usually begins ticking on the first day of the first incident of sexual harassment, but in some states, the statute of limitations may begin on the last incident.
How Long You Have to File a Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
The amount of time you have to file a complaint or lawsuit depends on three things:
- If you work for a government agency
- If you do not work for the federal government, and you want to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
- If you plan to file a civil lawsuit, your individual state's laws. In most states, sexual harassment claims are considered "tort" claims, and subject to the same statute of limitations as personal injury law (i.e., accidents.)
If you work for the federal government you must first file an administrative complaint before you can file a civil lawsuit. If you work for a public or private company (basically anyone but a government agency) you do not have to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) before filing a lawsuit. However, if you opt to have the EEOC handling your complaint the statute of limitations is much shorter than most state laws allow for filing a civil lawsuit.
New Jersey sexual harassment attorney, Leonard Hill, recommends that you always file a formal complaint with your employer before attempting to file a lawsuit. "An employer cannot be held liable for sexual harassment or discrimination if they did not know about it. Filing a formal report serves as proof that they did."

Hard not to fall in love with brands that help bring He's Go Cheeky dream to a reality. Found Bikini Empire on Kickstarter, and felt the need to help them take this to the next level, check out the interview, the giveaway and then head over to kickstarter to help them expand!
He sat down with Bikini Empire Queen, Kelsey for an interview...(HottHe's make hot clothing)
Describe Bikini Empire
What sets the Bikini Empire apart? Sexy geometric shapes, great retro throwback styles and an amazing colour palette! Plus almost all of our suits are reversible, made from fine Italian eco-fabric and we produce in Vancouver, Canada, meaning our entire collection is sweatshop-free.
What made you want to become a swimwear designer? Hmmm, probably the desire to *have* to product test bikinis year round in nice tropical locations, and a general dissatisfaction with the surf bikinis on the market. Paying $150 dollars for a bikini that 10,000 other girls have that was made by Chinese sweatshop slaves? No thanks. We knew we could do better!
What is one piece of clothing you cannot live without besides a bikini? Awesome leather ankle boots and the perfect sarong/scarf/blanket/towel item. I rock leather ankle boots year round with shorts, skirts, dresses, jeans, bikinis.....
What are your favorite bikini accessories? A belly chain and a sick pair of shades.
In your opinion, whats the biggest "fashion faux pas" when it comes to bikini wear?"I think the biggest fashion faux pas is more of an attitude faux pas... I hate it when women underestimate their own beauty, and wear some hideous dumpy suit that hides all their fabulousness. None of us look like Gisele Bundchen, but who cares!?!? Even if you have a little extra pudge doesn't mean you can't rock a tiny bikini and look amazing. Need proof? Spend a summer in Southern Spain for a great lesson in self love and skimpy 'kini wearing!
If you could pick one person, that hasn't worn one yet, to wear a Bikini Empire bikini who would it be? Hmmm, probably a pretty obvious choice but I'm going to say Rihanna. Babe has style and a pretty incredible ass.
Where do you see swimwear going in the next few years? Do you forecast any major changes in fabrication/ fit/ style? I see a lot of more retro, Marilyn Monroe-esque styles coming back, as well as the continued domination of cute, skimpy surfer girl styles. North America is coming around to the thong, and not in the skanky stripper way. Thongs feel fantastic, and your bum gets nice and tanned. What's not to love? I also think that a growing number of brands are going to move manufacturing back to North America because of the higher standard working conditions and better quality goods.
Where would you like to see Bikini Empire in 5 years? Whats next up for Bikini Empire? We have our sights set high! Our goal is to have retail representation across North America by 2017. We have great designs and I know that an increasing amount of women are interesting in investing in nice quality pieces that weren't made overseas. Fast fashion is so last decade... just like fast food you look and feel like garbage when you take that stuff in.
Any advice for the aspiring designer trying to break into the market? Stick to your guns, don't let anyone bully you into thinking you can't do it! A lot of people have some pretty strange back-handed negative advice. Feel free to tell them to F*** OFF and just keep doing what you love!. If you have a great idea, be careful who you share it with, just secretly get started and then blow everyones minds.
Any last words? If you want to find out more about our brand, check out our Kickstarter campaign! We are using Kickstarter to crowdfund our expansion, so you can pre-buy our 2016 collection AND fund a creative startup!

Okay, I wasn't going to do two posts in one day, but I did some rearranging in my room. As a result, I ran out of space for all of my boxed Belle dolls, so I decided to open my newest Disney Store Belle doll. I've been wanting to anyway, and this finally gave me an excuse. She's super poseable, so I had lots of fun taking these pics.
After playing around with her a bit, I thought I'd share just a few thoughts on this particular Belle doll. Her face is one of my favorite Disney Store doll faces. She looks much more like Belle than some of the other variations. The Disney Store just re-did all their princess doll faces this year, and I think in every case they made a great improvement.
The other thing that is fun about Belle is how poseable she is. As you can see from the pics above, this gives the opportunity for lots of creative poses and imaginative play. The downside is that her arms have lots of small, twisting parts that could easily break or be frustrating to pose for younger kiddos. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend her for children younger than four years old (and it should be a careful four-year-old). :) She's a great doll for an older child or a collector, though!
Hope you guys enjoyed the pics! :)

Sergio Cortes is a well-respected Brazilian doctor that has been practicing medicine for many years. Currently, Cortes has been combating the effects of the Zika virus which has been creating a lot of problems in Brazil and in other tropical regions of the world. The Zika virus has been around in one form or another since the 1940s. This disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and has been responsible for affecting pregnancies and causing illness for many Brazilian people.
The Zika virus was always present within tropical regions of the Earth but it never was a problem until April of 2015. The condition has rapidly spread since April of 2015 and it continues to affect more people as each day passes. More mosquitoes than ever are infected with the condition. They are now coming into contact with a lot of people. The condition is not only present in Brazil it is also on the rise in Mexico, Columbia, Thailand and even India.
The mosquito population has increased within Brazil and other tropical regions. Since it has, a greater number of mosquitoes are now infected with the virus. The mosquitoes can only get the virus by biting an infected person. In turn, these mosquitoes infect other people. The Zika virus cannot be spread from person to person. This disease can only be given by mosquitoes.
The Brazilian government and health officials are putting forth an effort to help reduce the mosquito population within the nation. They want people to eliminate any standing water sources; regardless of size. The fact is that a mosquito can lay eggs in a small pop bottle cap that is filled with water. So, they want all standing water sources to be removed. The government is also using spraying methods and killing the bugs at their source to keep mosquito populations under control.
Keep in mind that the Zika virus is similar to other mosquito causing ailments such as dengue and chikungunya. These particular viruses are also spread by mosquitoes and they too cause certain problems within a person's body. Zika is primarily known for causing fever, muscle pain and rash. It has also been linked to microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Microcephaly is a condition that affects the head size of new born babies. It causes a baby's head to be smaller than normal when the child is born. Guillain-Barre syndrome is an autoimmune disease that temporarily causes white blood cells to attack a person's nerves. Most people do not realize that they have Zika because the symptoms do not show up right away. Symptoms can show up between 3 and 7 days.
Dr. Cortes has extensive experience and knowledge for combating diseases and dealing with virus outbreaks. He is considered one of the leading medical authorities in Brazil. People can find out more about his views concerning the Zika virus by reading his blog Find out more about Zika virus with Sergio Cortes. This particular blog is located on Segio Cortes's personal website. You can also follow Dr. Cortes online through his Facebook page.

Release Blitz: Bad Habits Box Set by Staci Hart
Bad Habits Box Set
(Bad Habits #1-#3.5)
by Staci Hart
Release Date: July 12, 2018
About the Bad Habits Box Set
Six best friends. Three love stories. One big city. Countless laughs.
With a Twist
West Williams has been friends with Lily since the day she moved into their building and he saved her armoire from a swift, sudden death by staircase. Their friendship has always been easy, the boundaries clearly defined. With neither of them willing to risk their relationship, they've drifted happily through the years as companions, never considering more. Until they do. And that realization changes everything.
Everyone knows you should never say never. Cooper never saw Maggie coming--she was just his best friend's little sister, the curly-haired, freckle-faced girl from Mississippi who was absolutely off limits. Maggie never expected to find her fiancé banging her maid of honor an hour before she was set to walk down the aisle, but life's funny that way. The only option to save her sanity is to get the hell out of Jackson and move to New York where her brother lives. The only downside: Cooper is there too. And she just doesn't know if she can stay away from him — the filthy rich, dead sexy playboy who's allergic to commitment.
Last Call
Patrick Evans is no stranger to consequences. When your mother walks out, your dad drifts away. When you leave home, you're on your own. And when you run away from the girl you love, you lose her. He finally has an opportunity to rebuild the bridge he burned with Rose, and it's not one he'll take for granted. But he'll have to fight for her, even if it hurts. Even if it means he'll walk away brokenhearted. Because deep down, he knows that she's it for him. The trick will be to get her to admit she feels it too.
Happily Ever Habits
Who has babies? Who's getting married? Who has a horrible pun battle, and who tosses their cookies? Find out in this exclusive 30,000-word novella that follows the Habits crew through their very own happy endings.
This box set includes three full length, bestselling novels, plus an exclusive epilogue novella.

Swift responds to plant raids
9:40 a.m. update: Swift & Co. issued the following press release responding to this morning's raid:
Swift & Co. announced this morning that agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement division and other law enforcement agencies commenced employee interviews at six Swift production facilities, located in Greeley, Cactus, Texas, Grand Island, Neb., Hyrum, Utah, Marshalltown, Iowa, and Worthington, Minnesota, in connection with an investigation of the immigration status of an unspecified number of Swift workers.
All the facilities except Hyrum are unionized. No civil or criminal charges have been filed against Swift or any current employees.
Operations at the affected Swift facilities have been temporarily suspended pending the anticipated end-of-day completion of the interview process. Shortly thereafter, Swift expects to resume operations, but production levels will depend on the number of employees, if any, detained for further interviewing or otherwise unable to return to work.
At this time, Swift cannot assess how, if at all, the results of the employee interview process will affect its business or results of operations. Any loss of a significant number of employees at any facility could adversely affect the operations of that facility until Swift is able to replace any lost members of its workforce and return to normal production levels. The six facilities represent all of Swift's domestic beef processing capacity and 77 percent of its pork processing capacity. The Company also operates a pork processing facility in Louisville, Kentucky.
Swift believes that today's actions by the government violate the agreements associated with the company's participation during the past 10 years in the federal government's Basic Pilot worker authorization program and raise serious questions as to the government's possible violation of individual workers' civil rights.
Swift & Co. President and CEO Sam Rovit said: "Swift has never condoned the employment of unauthorized workers, nor have we ever knowingly hired such individuals. Since the inception of the Basic Pilot program in 1997, every single one of Swift's new domestic hires, including those being interviewed today by ICE officials, has duly completed I-9 forms and has received work authorization through the government's Basic Pilot program. Swift has played by the rules and relied in good faith on a program explicitly held out by the President of the United States as an effective tool to help employers comply with applicable immigration laws."
Rovit added: "We are committed to maintaining production at all Swift facilities while, to the extent necessary, actively managing customer service levels. While the specific financial impact of today's government actions is not yet known, we are currently comfortable with the financial flexibility afforded to us by our existing credit agreement."
Swift's comprehensive work authorization diligence has included, since 1997, participation in the federal Basic Pilot program " a voluntary, online verification system that allows employers to confirm the eligibility of new hires by checking the personal information they provide against federal databases. Today, Swift remains one of the very few employers to use the system. All company domestic production facilities have agreements in place with the federal government under Basic Pilot " agreements which contain provisions that are supposed to protect employers who properly comply with the Basic Pilot program from government-initiated civil and criminal penalties.
Current law limits an employer's ability to scrutinize the background and identity of new hires, and " as Swift learned first-hand " employers can, in fact, be punished for probing too deeply into applicants' backgrounds. Specifically, in 2001 the U.S. Department of Justice's Special Counsel for Unfair Immigration-Related Employment Practices brought a complaint against Swift for an alleged "pattern and practice" of document-based discrimination against job applicants, and sought civil damages of $2.5 million. After two years of cooperation and negotiation, Swift settled the claim, with no admission of guilt, for approximately $200,000.-
Swift & Co. fully supports comprehensive immigration reform to address the significant policy tension that exists between the need for employers to accurately determine workers' eligibility versus the need to address privacy and non-discrimination concerns. The company remains committed to preventing the employment of unauthorized workers in its workforce.

Making a meal out of a salad is one my favorite ways to eat. I'm always trying to incorporate more fresh vegetables and fruits into my every day diet. While I'm at it, I enjoy putting together a mix of things that engage hunger and invite all senses to linger, preferably along with a glass of wine…that's what I'm talking about.
And by salad I definitely do not mean it to be an afterthought, like a pile of plain salad greens with dressing (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Salad for dinner shouldn't feel like deprivation; it's visually enticing as well as hearty enough to serve as a full meal, composed of vibrantly colorful ingredients and some kind of warm protein for a delicious – and beautiful – contrast.
Summer is a great time to start a new habit; rearranging the standard meat-and-potatoes plate toward one focused on a greater variety of seasonal produce.
The sea scallops in this recipe could easily be substituted with shrimp or chicken.
Seared Scallop Salad with Mango
By Karen
Makes 4 servings
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
Pinch cayenne pepper
16 large dry-packed sea scallops
Freshly ground black pepper
3 small, ripe mangoes (such as Ataulfo)
4 tablespoons butter
4 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 head radicchio, thinly sliced
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
4 scallions, root ends trimmed and chopped
Whisk together the lime juice, agave, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat the scallops dry with a towel; sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stand each mango stem side up on a cutting board with the wider sides facing away from you; slice off the two "cheeks" on either side of the stem, cutting close to the pit – you should have 6 pieces (save the remaining mango flesh for another use); peel each piece and slice in half lengthwise.
Heat a heavy skillet, preferably with ridges, over medium-high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the pan. Arrange the mango slices in the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, just until browned. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter to the pan. Once the butter melts and foaming subsides, add the scallops and sear until they're nicely browned, 2-3 minutes per side. Pour in the lime juice mixture and turn off the heat, swirling to blend the juices.
Arrange some spinach, radicchio and avocado on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 4 scallops and 4 mango slices; drizzle with the pan juices and sprinkle with the scallions.

The Future Possibilities of JavaScript
The software industry is continuously evolving and there are various cutting edge programming languages to create different software applications. Many of them have become completely redundant today and many new languages are emerging with high frequency to meet the demanding needs of the users. These languages are used to create new apps having advanced features that cater to various business needs. One such feature rich language is the JavaScript that holds a strong position in the list of programming languages and developers fall in love with it again and again.
The Future of JavaScript
About more than 15 years without any major update, last year it was updated and Ecma finally released the ECMAScript 6, a comprehensive update to standardized JavaScript. The JavaScript ecosystem has made the programing language more accessible to work with across the development spectrum. Angular extends HTML syntax to this language and streamlines the coding process with dependency injection and data binding.
TypeScript, CoffeeScript and etc. bring in developers using other languages by compiling to JavaScript. The development of HTML5 entwines it with the future of the markup language and Node.js gives it a cross platform runtime to conquer embedded devices and servers and etc.
Features that will be considered more critical this year
Learning the new module syntax will be much easier since the concepts are very similar to Common JS. The native JavaScript module syntax will run everywhere and the non-native modules like common JS, UMD, AMD will become obsolete.
As long as web have Internet Explorer and other major search engines like Chrome, Safari, Firefox competing with each other, the landscape will shift and this will definitely be a good thing for JavaScript developers.
Another major area where JavaScript took a lot of time to catch on is the Microsoft space. Till the TypeScript was released, Microsoft never offered anything meaningful tools to the developers. The developers were comfortable using .NET and C# on the server and TypeScript made the language feel natural to the developers giving them a compiler like feel. This tool takes what the developers write and puts it through the syntax checker and applies a set of rules to JavaScript making it more comfortable for writing.
JavaScript does not have classes, but the class syntax was added last year and its purpose is to offer a clear and simple syntax for creating objects and dealing with inheritance. So the benefits to those who have started using JavaScript from a traditional OOP language are clear.
