The Stormers will be looking to turn around a four-match losing streak when they host the Blues at Newlands on Friday.
After a humbling tour of New Zealand in which they conceded 155 points in three games, the Stormers will be desperate to prove the gulf between them and the Kiwi sides is not so wide after all.
The Stormers have won four out of their last five games against the Blues with a one-point loss in Round 12, 2013 the only blemish on that record. They have also won four of their last five games at home. However, defeat did come in their last home encounter when they went down 29-16 to the Lions. This ended a six-game winning streak as they made a good start to the season.
The Cape side welcome back lock powerhouses Eben Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph Du Toit which will give them more grunt up front. The return of Seabelo Senatla on the wing and centre Damian de Allende on the bench is also a plus for the home side.
Blues coach Tana Umaga has been talking down his team's chances ahead of Friday's clash by saying the Stormers are 'formidable opponents' and basically giving his side underdog status.
However, the Blues themselves are a formidable side. The men from Auckland average more than 18 minutes in possession on average per game, more than any other team in the competition. Opposition teams beat an averge of just 15.6 defenders per game when facing the Blues, the lowest against any team in the competition.
This shows they are a well-rounded side, equally adept on defence as they are on attack. They have only lost to New Zealand opposition in Super Rugby this season and as we have all seen the Kiwi sides have proven themselves to be in a different class bracket. So despite being bottom of the New Zealand conference, they maintained a 100 percent record against teams outside of their borders with a 50-32 victory over the Cheetahs last weekend.
With Rieko Ioane in dazzling form on the wing, Steven Luatua back to his best at flank and Charlie Faumuina a handful at prop, they also welcome back another star player in the form of Sonny Bill Williams back into the side. SBW just loves playing at Newlands and will be keen to impress the New Zealand selectors ahead of the British and Irish Lions tour.
The last time the teams met: The Blues were reduced to 14 men after just 24 minutes when Hayden Triggs was given a red card in a Round 2 clash at Newlands in 2015. Nick Groom and Dillyn Leyds scored first-half tries for the Stormers and Demetri Catrakilis had a good day with the boot. The Blues scored a try in the second half through Jimmy Cowan but it was not nearly enough as the Stormers ran out comfortable 27-16 winners.
Team news: Springbok tight forwards Frans Malherbe, Eben Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph du Toit are all in the Stormers starting side to face the Blues. Locks Etzebeth and Du Toit have both recovered from injury niggles whilst tighthead prop Malherbe was rested against the Hurricanes before last week's bye as part of the Springbok management plan.
As a result Wilco Louw and Jan de Klerk will feature off the replacements bench, with the only other change to the forward pack coming at loosehead prop where Oli Kebble switches with Ali Vermaak to claim the starting spot.
In the backline Dillyn Leyds steps into the fly-half role he performed in Wellingon when Rob du Preez was forced from the field with a torn pectoral muscle and a fit-again Seabelo Senatla takes his place out on the left wing.
Experienced centre Damian de Allende returns from an ankle injury to feature on the replacements bench alongside Brandon Thomson who will provide fly-half cover for the clash with the Auckland side.
Blues head coach Tana Umaga has named All Black centre Sonny Bill Williams in his starting XV. Williams missed last week's home match against the Cheetahs with concussion, but has been fully cleared to play in South Africa.
Fellow All Black Ofa Tu'ungafasi gets his second start of the season after his strong performance coming on for the injured Pauliasi Manu in the win over the Cheetahs at Eden Park last weekend.
The only other change from the starting line-up that beat the Cheetahs sees Gerard Cowley-Tuioti return to partner fellow in-form lock Scott Scrafton with All Black Patrick Tuipulotu to add real thrust off the bench.
Piers Francis, who came off with injury at half-time last weekend, has recovered sufficiently to be named to start at fly-half, with Bryn Gatland returning to the squad in the reserves.
Melani Nanai, who has bagged five tries this season, retains his spot at full-back with Michael Collins to come off the bench.
Form: The Stormers won their first six games of the season against the Bulls, Jaguares, Kings, Sunwolves, Cheetahs and Chiefs. They followed this up with four defeats to the Lions, Crusaders, Highlanders and Hurricanes.
The Blues have beaten the Rebels, Bulls, Force, Brumbies, Waratahs and Cheetahs while losing to the Chiefs, Highlanders (twice), Crusaders and Hurricanes.

Wind turbines as landscape impediments to the migratory connectivity of bats
Product Type:Journal Article
Author(s):Cryan, P.M
Suggested Citation:Cryan, P.M. 2011. Wind turbines as landscape impediments to the migratory connectivity of bats. Environmental Law. 41: 355-370.
Unprecedented numbers of migratory bats are found dead beneath industrial-scale wind turbines during late summer and autumn in both North America and Europe. Prior to the wide-scale deployment of wind turbines, fatal collisions of migratory bats with anthropogenic structures were rarely reported and likely occurred very infrequently. There are no other well-documented threats to populations of migratory tree bats that cause mortality of similar magnitude to that observed at wind turbines. Just three migratory species comprise the vast majority of bat kills at turbines in North America and there are indications that turbines may actually attract migrating individuals toward their blades…

At DSN we are very proud of our services and we're always looking for ways in which to improve them to make sure that our service users experience the maximum possible benefits.
Social Accounting is a system that helps us to examine our performance and further develop our services. By looking at what we do and collecting feedback from the people we work with, we are able to see where things can be improved. Collecting feedback from the people who receive the services means that they get the opportunity to be involved in the future planning of the services and how they are run.
In these challenging financial times it is important that we evidence what we are doing and how we deliver value for money, in order to help funders decide to invest in our services. By looking at the services we provide and measuring the impact of those services on people's lives, we are able to demonstrate the value of the work we do.
We hope that the process of Social Accounting helps us to raise the profile of DSN and increases awareness of the high quality help and support that we consistently deliver.
We collect information in two parts:
Part 1 Facts & figures, for example:
• How many people we have supported
• How many pieces of equipment we have supplied

• Questionnaires
• Meetings
• Positive comments, complaints, suggestions etc.
From the surveys we have carried out so far, we have been reassured to see that the majority of people who have responded believe that DSN does achieve the aims it sets itself and they are very happy with the services they receive. However, there have also been some issues highlighted and this gives us opportunities to examine what we do in more detail and identify any improvements that can be made.
We hope people recognise the value of this positive exercise and support it by giving us feedback and encouraging others to get involved too. Stakeholder's views are important to us and will help us to prove the value of the work we do and continue to improve our services. Please contact us on 0333 220 5050 for more information.

Hello everyone,
After a very long break from blogging due to fact I have sold my camera last year, and I kind of concentrated on different things, I am back!
I really did missed blogging, and I think I needed time to actually realise how much I enjoy do it.
Hopefully, this time it will be my break.
I promise to do better ;)
Many things changed over this time, I finished my Diploma Level 2 Art and Design Course at Leeds City College last year, and I just started a Level 3 Art and Design Course at Leeds College of Art.
It definitely was the best decision I could have made.
I finally feel like it is my place, and I enjoy every time spent there.
Unfortunately, I am going to spend there only a year, and I need to start looking into Universities. I am still not quite sure wherever I would like to study and what course to choose. But probably I will stick to Art and Design or something with fashion, not sure yet. We will see, I might change my mind and go for something totally different.
In today's post you can see effect of my cooperation with amazing photographer
Agata Tomaszewska.
Recently, my outfits are more vintage/casual in dark colours. I definitely need to start buying more colorful clothes! Oh well, maybe next time.
However, I felt in love with my black trousers, literally I can wear them with everything!
Depending of my mood, I can be more glamour and wear high heels, or make it more like 'street wear' by wearing vans.
Another thing which I am so impressed by is my hair! ehm, extensions hair. For the first time I have synthetic extensions and one piece, which literally takes me like 3 min to wear them!
I always been spending fortune on natural human hair which, but I can't tell much difference in looking between my natural hair and the syntec one! So cheap and soo good, definitely recommended!

As you will find so many choices to select from for almost any guardian locating the greatest umbrella stroller isn't any simple job. Umbrella strollers are strollers that's some type of "umbrella" or cover protection from being subjected to sunlight for substantial amounts of time to safeguard your youngster. This kind of strollers are not actually imperfect for daily use which is the very first kind of stroller I actually possessed like a guardian! It's not just exceptionally light (many evaluating under-20 lbs), but may also be quickly collapsed right into a very small form. As a result, umbrella strollers are well suited for going as well as for daily use. My loved ones certainly likes having an umbrella stroller that's light is definitely a luxury and travelling! Actually, even if we're not travelling, I've employed best umbrella strollers in everything and mass-transportation was not fairly inconvenient. I'd state that a light umbrella stroller is some of those essential items which once they begin having children parents will need to buy.
I did so a lot of study and learned a variety of reasons for having umbrella strollers to choose the umbrella stroller for my loved ones. More particularly, the functions for that various umbrella strollers on the market do therefore, makes it hard to evaluate them alongside and vary. Luckily, for parents available thinking about purchasing an umbrella stroller, I've completed the job for you personally! I've supplied strategies and some amazing tricks for parents about select the best stroller.
Just how to Select an Umbrella Stroller for the Household
You are able to reply the next concerns to assist you choose the best stroller once you've determined that the umbrella stroller is precisely everything you are after:
Do you want your umbrella stroller to not become unsuitable from delivery? In that case, then make sure you choose a stroller that may do that, like the Maclaren Techno XT Stroller. If you like the stroller to last until a stroller is no further needed by the kid, then make sure it is large enough to put on an older kid like the UPPAbaby Glite Stroller.
What weight restriction do you want for the umbrella stroller?
If you should be wishing your stroller can last before a stroller is no further needed by you anymore, then it's very important to choose one having a weight restriction that is high. The larger the weight restriction, the longer that the stroller works securely for the kid. It's advisable to choose a stroller with at least a-50 lbs weight restriction if you don't have really small kids.
How lightweight do you want your umbrella stroller to become?
Are you currently on an outing a great deal? Will you going with-it or be having your stroller out and in of the vehicle? If this is actually the situation, dimension and then your fat of the stroller could be essential. Many of these strollers are fairly light, but there's an impact between holding around a 8-pound one and a 22-pound stroller. If you like a stroller that's really lightweight, then think about the umbrella stroller, the UPPAbaby 2013 Glite Stroller, or check more strollers out about the light strollers site.
How important-are additional functions for you?
Can it be very important to one to place your beverage and someplace to possess a great storage container? Or that the stroller is reversible? If this is actually the situation, then browse the featured strollers like even the Maclaren Techno XT Stroller or the Chicco Liteway Plus Stroller.
Things to Consider When Selecting the Best Umbrella Stroller
For most of us, making the decision is likely to be as simple as selecting on the stroller that's suited to their designated budget. About the foundation which one may be the cheapest, you shouldn't make a decision just all the time. You need to bear in mind that more often than not, to discover highquality functions and premium-quality, the maker need to make use of the greatest supplies, which could frequently create the umbrella stroller costly.
Weight Capacity
The goal of obtaining an umbrella stroller is really you should use it for everyday chores which means you might need a push-chair as you are able to bring and it is light particularly when you provide this while using the public transport to increase mobility. But don't choose something which has got the cheapest fat because they could be more vulnerable to showing and damage over backwards. You won't have the ability to suspend your bags or additional products that are transporting as you drive the stroller. I find this essential since I have don't prefer to bring additional large products while I take advantage of the push-chair and brain other activities. In this way, find everything I want in only one spot and I will concentrate to my child.
It's very important to make use of the stroller just centered on its weight capacity that is reported. Once your child moves beyond such, don't drive it if it are designed for just as much as 40 lbs of fat. This may lead into security problems. For example, the chair may not be able to manage the fat that is additional also it makes it less encouraging. If it weighs significantly more than exactly what the strollers was created to manage the infant may also be crowded within the chair.
Unit Weight
Among the first items that you need to examine may be the fat of the system whenever you have a look in the complex requirements of the umbrella strollers. Preferably, umbrella strollers are not dark, but nonetheless, one design could be not the same as another. Having a light stroller is great since it can
make it easy whenever you travel to provide along with you, and much more importantly, you'll have the ability to utilize it effortlessly.
Understanding the measurement is essential to recognize if the stroller may fit in the home in your shoe or storage.
It folds
Folding systems provides good distinction in comfort, therefore try to look for one which provides easy-fold ideally one which could be run with only one hand, system. This enables the stroller to quickly collapse and occur while keeping your baby. Envision the infant while trying to collapse the stroller being held by yourself. That tried and that I guarantee you , a significant trouble!
Between the umbrella stroller's various areas, the body is among the most significant. You need to have a look at the supplies which are utilized and also its style.
These simplicity of use and will soon be indicative of its toughness. Preferably, you need to select structures which are constructed from long lasting supplies within the lack of fat that is additional. In this instance, metal is definitely the best option.
Construction Material
It's perfect to possess a durable stroller made from steel or metal components. But a handful are also of them produced from materials. you may wind up changing them in a brief period although it could charge reduced. Additionally, wheels made from plastic is also favored therefore shake is won'ted by it quickly and maintain it steady.
Similar to umbrella strollers' body, it's also wise to remember to assess the chair. Among the most significant is for that chair to become created using the utilization of cozy and secure supplies. It should be spacious and should be mild about the skin of the infant. It ought to be additionally nicely-cushioned particularly when they're going for a rest and it'll be good if it may be modified in numerous reclining positions, which can make infants experience much more comfortable.
You will find extra functions which are good to possess to supply your child security, convenience and the most attention. Five-point funnel having rear wheels and a safe gear steer clear of the particularly lively children from slipping down and secure your child better when compared with typical umbrella strollers. Cover helps protect your children from an excessive amount of sunlight. You will find removable and flexible cover to help you have of heading actually light in your journey the choice and certainly will actually be accessible with ultraviolet-protected material that are excellent reward. Quite often, kids that are smaller drift off in periods whenever we continue walks, therefore reclining functions enables them to sleep more easily. Finally, kids and guardian holder holder will also be good to provide you with some room to place your things gadgets, beverages or treats. These features all are usually unavailable but are wonderful to possess. But remember, the more have a stroller has, the more heavy it gets when it comes to cost and handling.
Closing Remarks
Umbrella strollers are strollers that many parents get as this kind of stroller, such suits the requirements of nearly all parents available and if they're not planning to run. Again, picking the umbrella stroller out is in no way a simple job! Therefore you're not at all alone if experience that is you're discouraged or possess a sensation of data overload! That's precisely why this site was produced by me! To assist mothers (and fathers) choose an umbrella stroller that best-fit their requirements.
Make sure to browse the assessment device above should you however can't choose between two umbrella strollers! Individually, I'd suggest choosing reduced quality umbrella stroller because it is something which you'll possibly be utilizing constantly and investing a bit more. Not just that, more pricey strollers are usually much more comfortable in my own knowledge. Directly to our website if you want help determining which kind of stroller match your requirements.

Can Sub-Saharan Africa leap into global network trade ?
This paper examines opportunities for Sub-Saharan African countries to effectively participate in globalization, particularly given the increasing interest of China and India in Sub-Saharan Africa. How can Sub-Saharan Africa fully engage and gain benefits from global network trade? Over the past 15 years Asia has become Africa's fastest growing export market. Asian countries are much more open to trade than Europe or America. There seems to be no evidence to suggest that this trend will not continue in the near future. The authors acknowledge the numerous caveats in Asia's growing interest in the African continent, not least the"resource curse"of exports that are heavily concentrated on oil, minerals, and raw materials, as well as the fierce competition from Asia's cheap manufactured exports. However, they believe that there is strong evidence to suggest a clear potential for South-South cooperation in trade and investment. Drawing on evidence from their extensive research into international value chains, the authors identify five critical factors for effective participation in global network trade: price, speed-to-market, labor productivity, flexibility, and product quality. Underlying competitive performance of these critical factors are a country's policies and institutions. Effective policies, efficient institutions, and the necessary infrastructure will ensure the best outcome for trading countries. To improve the depth and sustainability of these five critical factors, it is important that developing countries create a supportive policy and institutional framework from the outset.

assaults on her and other women. >> she was screaming. afterwards, we saw blood on the floor. he told merkel, -- he told her, is this good enough for you? they were marking her. it was obvious that she was in agony. you could see her. after that, she no longer moved. but the witness says that after two months in the nightmare world of the tension, she was helped to escape and lease area. the group human rights watch says sexual violence is used to humiliate and the grade. neither they nor the u.s. have so far made allegations of rape against the rebel side. we have talked with victims of rape and the people who have given the medical help. what is clear is that sexual violence is taking place across syria and is being directed at women and men. >> they hit you.
6:05 pm
>> these young men were arrested in damascus after taking part in demonstrations against the regime. this.aid please don't do please don't do this. nobody listened to me. you want to have freedom? this this for freedom. and then the officer and the security, they are just laughing. i was alone. >> would follow this allegation of abuse across the region, here to easton told. -- here to istanbul. the young man recently defected to the opposition.
6:06 pm
he said there was rape and other centers. let me quote to you what a former detainee at your facility said. they work raping me. they were like animals. that is from a detainee at the center you ran. >> that is not true when it comes to the time that i was there. that is absolutely untrue. and if it were true, they could confront me, because i am responsible before any authority, whether national or international. >> the international community gives aid to refugees but is simply too divided over syria to order zero war crimes investigation. we ask the syrian government to respond to the allegation, but received no answer. recently dismissed un reports of torture, including sexual
6:07 pm
violence as neither accurate nor objective. in essence of other witnesses and with un investigators refused access to syria, it is impossible to cooperate rape allegations, but some survivors are determined. >> nobody visits you. nobody here is your voice. it seems this is our destiny to be tortured today and then die. >> in this society, there is a huge degree of shame around speaking about a subject like this. why have you decided to speak to me? >> i am still afraid for the girls who remain inside. every few days, they would bring in new girl. i have now been out for six or seven months. how many girls have they brought in during this time?
6:08 pm
>> that as the war escalates is the most haunting of questions. >> of the trauma of the syrian direct victims. for those inside the country, it seems the situation gets worse every day. syrian state television has broadcast what it says are secret tv pictures of one of two suicide car bomb outside the heavily guarded building. it was engulfed in flames. gunfire followed the explosions and security forces battle with rebel fighters who then tried to storm the building. the new egyptian president made his debut, saying he will not rest until the civil war in syria and. he told the general assembly it continues to be imposed -- opposed to foreign intervention.
6:09 pm
>> to pursuing a sincere effort and has been making to put an end to the tragedy in syria within an arab, regional, an international framework. a framework that preserve the unity of this brotherly state. it would involve all sections of the syrian people, without discrimination based on race, religion, or politics. it would spare assyria the danger of foreign military intervention, which we oppose, of course. >> president morsi geoghegan impassioned speech about the fruits of freedom and dignity. he said the u.s. has to address the phenomena of islamic phobia.
6:10 pm
michael, thanks for being with us. what did you make of his decision to put the palestinian question brought and center in his speech? >> i think it would have been surprising if he did not begin with the question of palestine. this has been traditionally not only in egypt but in the arab world the preeminent foreign policy issue of the region. now that the muslim brotherhood and its president is in power, i think it would have been surprising if they did not showcase this issue, because obviously it has formed a big part of their foreign policy thinking for years. >> egypt received $1.6 billion in aid a yr from the u.s. if egypt has a where your relation with the u.s., will that a continue? >> it is an interesting moment when egypt is partially
6:11 pm
reconstructing it shrek -- its relation with the united states. the military relationship continues, and that has gone on for many years. yet now there is an elected civilian president that is trying to assert the degree of independence at a moment when both sides are now trying to understand the priorities of each other, and the united states is adjusting to an egyptian leader that has to respond to some degree to the wants and desires of his own people. it is a much more high maintenance type of relationship because nothing can be taken for granted in the same way that it was when egypt was essentially a client state. >> president morsi called syria the tragedy of the age. any new ideas there about how to stop the fighting? >> not so much. this is indicative of egypt's position at the moment.
6:12 pm
more aspirational and ambitious with respect to charting a more independent course, but of course egypt is consumed by domestic affairs, particularly on the economic front. so egypt is not in a position to really exert great influence on the syrian civil war. it is not a proxy player in the sense of supporting any of the sides there, yet it does not have the wherewithal to be a useful facilitator with the iranians in terms of trying to bring about some sort of political settlement or a political framework for dealing with this issue. rhetorically it is a shift, but i don't think egypt is in a position to be a major player with respect to syrian policy. >> how do you think the call for -- how will it go down with the u.s. administration? >> this is a case of people having to reject of him having
6:13 pm
to address his domestic audience. the u.s. constitution, the u.s. government is not responsible for the actions of individual citizens. president has made it quite clear that while the speech itself is offensive and the president has condemned the content of the speech, this exists within our democratic system here in the united states. president morsi needs to make these comments to assuage the feelings of some citizens back in egypt, but i don't think this will have any material impact on u.s.-egyptian relations. >> the pakistani taliban says they are grant amnesty to a cabinet minister who is offering a $100,000 reward who kills the maker of the anti-islamic film that sparked violent protests
6:14 pm
across the muslim world. the taliban are reported to have taken the minister of their hit list, saying his views represent the true spirit of islam. up the accord for -- would cover security but is not a comprehensive deal as had been hoped. on the streets of greece, there have been violent clashes between police and demonstrators during a day of strikes. the action was called to protect against massive new cuts in government spending. this report from athens. >> it seems today that this city has come to know all too well, petrol bombs, tear gas, protesters fighting on the streets. this time, the police soon regained control. the kind of violence, the peaceful protest of the majority, marching against more cuts to come. >> we are desperate people.
6:15 pm
>> the ax will fall on pensions and education and retirement age is set to rise for greece to receive its lifeline. >> it has been over two years since greece requested outside help and things are getting worse. they believe the entire strategy is wrong. imagine what might happen when they come into effect. >> one of those taking part is determined to help those suffering. in his spare time, he runs a clinic offering free care to the new poor of greece. everything here is donated. this is the other side of the crisis, solidarity between greeks hit by austerity. >> it is amazing to see greece in the 21st century having children that are starving. some cannot feed their children
6:16 pm
are provide simple things like an aspirin. >> at per se, 10 patients a week -- at first, 10 patients came here. now there are a hundred per day. they cannot afford a basic check up for their newborn. we cannot sink any deeper, or else the greek people uld a die. it is like this country is at war. greece shut down today, but the government is standing firm that without 11.5 billion bureaus of cuts, the country would forbid its long and face bankruptcy. -- would forfeit its loan and face bankruptcy. >> after all, if greece lisa eurozone, i think that will probably mean the end of the eurozone itself. >> beneath the protest, it is

6:19 pm
just before the exercise, a real earthquake struck the north island, but it was small and did no damage. a reminder to the people of this delicate nation. >> adoption rules vary from country to country, but one thing seems to be the norm around the world. the process is neither quick nor easy. people desperate to adopt are sometimes willing to pay for a baby, but that yield underground networks that prey on the poor and vulnerable. our correspondent has been looking into allegations that some nigerian teenagers are being forced to give up their babies. >> motherly love for a newborn son.
6:20 pm
this 16-year-old came desperate close to losing her child, daniel. it was a traumatic fight to prevent her from being taken away at birth for adoption. she did not tell her parents about her pregnancy. she added to this city, confused, scared, and with no money. she was vulnerable. a refuge for pregnant girls took her in for free. she says it was on the understanding that she would hand over her baby. >> i had nowhere to go. i had to agree that i would give them the baby afterward. >> after her son was born, she wanted to keep him. she told me a worker from the refuge, threaten her with jail if she did not give up her baby. >> she said they would arrest me and jail me. >> her tears are aroused the

suspicion of doctors and nurses. hospital officials did not want to comment on this case, but one doctor said that babies are being removed from the hospital even before their babies or discharge. he did agree to speak. he tell me how worried she was when he saw her on the ward. >> she was scared of what would happen to per baby and to her. >> i am on my way to meet the people who run a home where she stayed for many months. i will be putting it to them, are they really run this institution in the best interest of all these vulnerable teenagers? >> set up by the wife of the they have taken in 100 girls. most have chosen not to keep their babies. it denies this treating many of the girls and said they always have a choice. >> we do counseling.

we ask if they still stand by their decision or to go with their baby. >> she is just glad she managed to keep her baby and has been reunited with her now proud grandmother. >> the pain of nigeria's teenage mothers. she is one of the world's most famous children's writers. j.k. rowling has left the magic and the wizardry of harry tter behind to write a novel for adults. has already created a stir because of its extensive use of language that is definitely not suitable for children. she speaks to our editor about what inspired her to write for an older audience. >> j.k. rowling is perhaps the most famous living writer in the world. she is certainly one of the richest. having sold over four hundred 50

million copies of her harry potter books worldwide, now she is opening a new chapter in her literary life with her first novel and that an adult audience. why the change? >> i did not sit down to write this novel. i had nothing to prove. i do not mean that in an arrogant way. i certainly don't mean i think i cannot improve as a writer, but harry potter truly liberated me in the sense that there is only one reason to right now, for me. >> the story is set in a small englishn t, a community riven with hate and prejudice. >> to have any experience is that you project on to your characters, trying to numb the pain? >> i would not want to go there too much, but i have had my

I've resorted to just clicking the razor to number 4 and going over everything above my shoulders twice a month.

I taught my 97 year old Grandpa how to use his brand new Kindle Fire today...I set his solitaire game up and 2 minutes later an ad for Christian Singles pops up on screen. So I deleted THAT version of the game.
ive been told it looks a bit military, or buddhist, but the procedure does leave a beard on my face equal in length to my super short hair, so i don't think it looks too off-putting. i feel friendly none-the-less.

The thing about cutting your own hair is you can't just do it once. It's a skill that you need to work at. Everybody sucks the first time.
My wife won't appreciate that advice.
Your top 3 and your number 7 aren't random thoughts during Christmas time. The top 2 and number 7 should be with you all year as they are important life things. The rest of them are thoughts and wishes. If you suck at Battlefield after all this time I would guess you enjoy playing and continue to suck or give it up.
Unless you plan to shave your head totally I would strongly suggest you don't even think about giving yourself a haircut. At least the hair on the top of your head.
Yea, mistakes were made...

Unanswered: Display truncating on SQL Profiler
I am having a problem debugging an XML error we are getting in our production environment because I can't view the entire call to the stored procedure in Profiler. I have successfully traced the error, but when I go to the line with the call to the SP that caused the error, it doesn't show me the entire call. It only shows me the 'exec sproc_name and then the first 16 characters of the XML string parameter that is being passed to the proc. For some reason it's doing this to ONLY the stored procs that have XML parameters...on procs that use standard parameters, it displays the entire call correctly.
I have looked for some type of setting that controls this, but haven't been able to find it. I also have looked through many forums for this issue but to no avail. Does anyone know why this is happening? And, is there a workaround/fix?
Thanks in advance...

I'm jealous of your height, I wish to be taller than what I am now! lol We have some things in common, I love coffee but only in the morning and I'm also a Potterhead but probably not as much as you do. I spend most of my childhood in the Philippines, only came here (Canada) when I was 13/14 yrs old so I can still definitely speak Tagalog! Love this post! <3ReplyDelete
A whole lot of serendipity
- Jayne5 June 2015 at 12:58
Ooh, you are TALL! Most of us Chinese gals are 5-5'4!ReplyDelete
Thank you! ♥ReplyDelete
I used to speak Tagalog because I learned it in school, but I stopped using it when I moved to Canada when I was 9. I still know a teeny bit, enough to get the idea when someone is talking to me!
I know! Now imagine adding heels ;) ♥ReplyDelete
Wow so tall! :) hehe. Who doesn't love Harry Potter? ;)ReplyDelete
I'm a huge Potter fan too!! Seriously, my online pseudonym before I started blogging was "siriusismyhero". Thanks for the nomination! <3ReplyDelete
Liking Harry Potter is the default, right? :P And my pleasure!ReplyDelete
Yes, Potterheads unite! The next time Potted Potter comes to Toronto, you need to see it if you haven't. It's a hilarious retelling of all seven books by two guys who act them out. It is amazing! Thanks for tagging me!ReplyDelete
Wendy | Fashionable Heart
Yes! Harry Potter is one of my all a time I favourite things! I'm always appalled to find someone who doesn't like the books or movies!ReplyDelete
Also, were you seriously named after the car in Christine? Because that's kinda hilarious and awesome...!
Does most of your music sound like FOB? Because if so, we have more than just Harry Potter and coffee in common :-P
Thanks for the tag!
I haven't seen Potted Potter, but now have YOU seen A Very Potter Musical? It's a comedy/musical that's a mashup of all the books!ReplyDelete
And my pleasure! ♥
Yep, I was! There are a few other Christines that my dad decided to name me after, but the car is definitely one of them.ReplyDelete
And uh normally my music doesn't sound specifically like FOB, but I've actually gotten REALLY into FOB lately and I've had their entire discography on repeat for 2 weeks?? But otherwise, bands like Arctic Monkeys, CHVRCHES, Marina and the Diamonds, Dragonette...
Thanks for doing the tag! Yeah I was kind of surprised by how tall you were when we met lol. I grew up speaking Cantonese but I'm more comfortable speaking English now as well. I haven't read any Harry Potter books yet! I'll get to it... eventually.ReplyDelete
Ling | The Cosmetic Critic ♥
My pleasure! Thanks for tagging me! ♥ReplyDelete
The first two (or three) Harry Potter books definitely read more like children's stories, but the style really grows up with the characters, because the audience was growing up as well!

Oh, bpear, quick question. I've been getting prompts for the last week or two about updates from HTC to the Camera app and the Contacts app.
Did you install these? If so, will those updates be included with the new ROM? If not, would you recommend installing them or avoiding them?
Yeah I noticed that to. Seems to be HTC trying to push a updated Camera and contacts app, not sure what they updated. I included lyapotas custom HTC camera app. Also the contact app with this rom is themed, which this would overwrite. I was curious and acepted it and it seemed to fail in updating, probably because the APKS are modified. Ill try to block/remove that update prompt for next update.
I found one possible issue with my camera fix so far - videos recorded in the portrait orientation only seem to play inside the Gallery app. On my computer, they show up as mp4 files with no video.
Not really a big deal as far as I'm concerned (because you shouldn't be recording portrait videos anyway ), but still something I thought was worth noting.
Of course, this could also be an issue with the camera app itself, rather than my camera fix. Hard to say for sure. I tested it with several apps, though, and it still seems to be happening, so I'm leaning toward something in the ROM.
One more thing: even though it doesn't play right on my computer, I can still upload it to YouTube directly from the phone via the YouTube app:

rcookie says():World Bank and Government of Japan to Promote Inclusive Growth and Private Sector Development in Iraq
July 17, 2016 BAGHDAD, July 17, 2016- Four new grants from Japan totaling US$ 2.17 million will support the Iraqi government's development and reform programs to enhance institutional efficiency and promote inclusive growth.
Managed by the World Bank, the four grants will focus on laying the foundation to integrate social protection systems and enhance their efficiency as well as help the government establish a comprehensive National Payments Systems (NPS) development plan.
Moreover, the grants will contribute to improving the business environment and encouraging private sector growth, especially small and medium enterprises; and providing economic advisory support to upkeep the Iraqi economic reform efforts.
"A strong and effective social protection and modern payment systems are critical to the reform efforts undertaken by the Government of Iraq," said Robert Bou Jaoude, World Bank Special Representative to Iraq. "The World Bank, with the help of the Government of Japan, is committed to providing support to the Iraqi people."
The projects will provide substantial support in four areas;
i) the implementation of the Iraq Social Protection Strategic Roadmap, which includes building the Iraq National Unified Registry, developing the skills of social workers for poverty targeting, and introducing pension legislation reform;
ii) upgrading the National Payment System to enhance the safety and reliability of payments in Iraq and contribute to the stability and efficiency of the financial system and enable greater financial inclusion;
iii) improving Iraq's performance in the areas covered by the World Bank Doing Business Report, and supporting the operation of the governmental Public Services Centers and
iv) boosting resources to support the government reform agenda and efforts through providing specialized on-the-ground advice and consultation.
"Japan remains committed to support reform efforts by the Government of Iraq, including financial and economic reforms," said H.E. Ambassador of Japan to Iraq, Mr. Fumio Iwai. "I hope those four new grants, together with already extended 'Development Policy and Financial Reform Loan' amounting to 220 million USD contribute to boost these reforms and develop public and private sectors in Iraq."
The World Bank's portfolio in Iraq consists of three operations for a total net commitment of US$1.905 billion. The current portfolio includes a transport project being implemented in the south of the country; an Emergency Operation for Development which restores infrastructure and public services in municipal areas liberated by the government; and a Development Policy Financing operation, for US$1.2 billion to help Iraq weather the fiscal crisis and advance reforms.

tman23 says():The Shi'ite politician and secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party, Nouri al-Maliki, is in Sulaymaniyah after a joint delegation of PUK and Gorran met with him earlier this month in Baghdad.
A source revealed that Maliki's visit to Sulaymaniyah is intended to gain PUK and Gorran support for his plan to once again lead the Iraqi government as prime minister.
In return, he has promised the two Kurdish political parties to support them for establishing a separate autonomous region in Sulaymaniyah province with full financial support from Baghdad. Nawshirwan Mustafa, the General Coordinator of Gorran, is said to be the mastermind of splitting Sulaymaniyah from Kurdistan Region and establishing a separate autonomous region.
Maliki has welcomed the recently-signed political agreement between PUK and Gorran, and he urged the sides to invite the Kurdistan Islamic Group (KIG) to join them in the alliance, the source claimed, arguing that the Shi'ite politician needs more Kurdish support in Baghdad to return to power.

There are THREE ways in which you can book a massage appointment at SLC Prenatal Massage!
The first, of course, is to call or text us at 801-784-6511. We are available and happy to help during business hours Monday through Saturday. You can send a text or leave a voicemail anytime - we will respond promptly!
The second option is to click here to download the MindBody mobile app - where you can book massages, register for classes and manage your MindBody account right from your phone.
The third option would be to browse our availability below and book an appointment online, right here on our website! You must abide by the following instructions to efficiently schedule your appointment:
NEW/FIRST-TIME CLIENTS - you will be required to create a client profile in MindBody, whether online or in the app. You'll be asked for your first & last name, email address, phone number, mailing address, gender, birthday and credit card info (we are required to obtain a credit card on file to reserve ANY appointment, even if you'll be redeeming a prepaid session or gift certificate. We do charge for late cancellations or no-shows, as explained in your welcome email and on our policies page. You will not be charged, the cc will merely be saved to your profile and encrypted). After creating your profile, you are clear to book an appointment!
ALSO - VERY IMPORTANT - New clients and clients who are visiting during a new pregnancy are required to submit a massage client intake form before your appointment. The link for this can be found in your appointment confirmation email or by clicking here.
EXISTING CLIENTS - you just need to login to your existing MindBody profile.
*Note - if you are booking this as a surprise for someone else, please be aware that the email address and phone number you provide will instantly and automatically receive our system notifications, so, put YOUR info there if you don't want to spoil it.
1. After booking your appt, you'll receive an appointment confirmation email. This email is VERY important. Please triple check it, making sure that your calendar aligns with ours and that your scheduled date/time is correct.
2. Within that same confirmation email is a link to your new client intake form. New clients as well as women who've visited before but are now coming in during a *new* pregnancy are required to submit this intake form. We ask that you do so at least 24 hours in advance of your session. We cannot start your session without the completed form. If you booked your appointment same-day, please arrive at least 15 minutes early so you can fill it out in our office.
3. Please always plan to arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled start time so we actually begin your massage right at that time. If you arrive late or even right on time, you will be paying for the full session you scheduled but only get whatever time remains. Just always be early and everyone will be happy :)
4. 75 minutes is the best appointment length if you are expecting all major muscle groups worked, or needing extra time on an area. 60 minutes seems to pass by way too quickly ...unless you are OK leaving something out.
5. Appointments changed or cancelled for any reason (even emergencies) with LESS than 24 hours notice are subject to a cancellation fee, which is 50% of your session cost.
6. Appointments cancelled or changed for any reason (even emergencies) with less than 2 hours notice will be charged the full, undiscounted session rate. For support, please call or text our office at 801-784-6511.
7. If you are in labor, you we ask that you give a MINIMUM of 3 hours notice by text, voice mail, or phone call, to avoid being charged a cancellation fee for your appointment. For support, please call or text our office at 801-784-6511.

Publisher Black Ocean has made an unconventional offer to its most unconventional fans–if you get a tattoo inspired by one of the press' books, you will receive a lifetime subscription to its titles.
Here's the deal: "If you'd like to get a tattoo inspired by a Black Ocean title, you too can receive a lifetime subscription and become a Black Oceanographer for life! Just send us a picture of you getting your tattoo (so we know it's not simply a magic marker), or find one of us in person and expose yourself to us (with fair warning)."
Three readers have already received lifetime subscriptions for tattoos, including Rebecca H.'s tattoo inspired by "The Center of Worthwhile Things" from The Man Suit (pictured, via). UPDATE: Earlier this year, we found out that Kurt Vonnegut, e.e. cummings, and Shel Silverstein are the most popular literary tattoo inspirations.

A Security Report, Publishing from Git, and reviewing worthless Hamburger Menus
Sometimes, dev tools are available that are dead simple to use, like the HTTP Security Report. You type in your web address and it instantly gives you feedback on website security. It's an informative tool, although shallow in security recommendations. Other times, dev tools, like Tufte CSS and JAWS couldn't be more specific and take more time to "implement". Projects need both ends of the dev tools/libs spectrum and usually many tools in between. Don't write off either end of the spectrum, embrace both. Have a great week!
HTTP Security Report
"Get an instant report of how your website measures up to the best practices."
Dev Tools
Publish your webpage from Git
Use your git repository to publish your website to your ftp-hosting provider.
The Hamburger Menu Doesn't Work
Something you need to know: hamburger menu buttons have very low engagement. Read on...
Tufte CSS
"Tufte CSS provides tools to style web articles using the ideas demonstrated by Edward Tufte's books and handouts." - I love the idea that there are CSS helper libraries that are niche specific and that all libraries aren't meant for all occasions.
JAWS: The Javascript + AWS Stack
"A server-free, webapp boilerplate using bleeding-edge AWS services that redefine how to build massively scalable web applications"
Material design theme for Bootstrap 3

A Git Workflow Walkthrough - Reviewing Pull Requests Locally
Do you use

Abnormal El Nino in Peru unleashes deadly downpours
LIMA: A sudden and abnormal warming of Pacific waters off Peru has unleashed the deadliest downpours in decades, with landslides and raging rivers sweeping away people, clogging highways and destroying crops in a potential sign of a global El Nino pattern this year.
At least 62 people have died and more than 70,000 have become homeless as Peru's rainy season has delivered 10 times as much rainfall than usual, authorities said on Friday.
About half of Peru has been declared in emergency to expedite resources to the hardest hit areas, mostly in the north where rainfall has broken records in several districts, said Prime Minister Fernando Zavala.
Peru is bracing itself for another month of flooding.
A local El Nino phenomenon, the warming of surface sea temperatures in the Pacific, will likely continue along Peru's northern coast at least through April, said Dimitri Gutierrez, a scientist with Peru's El Nino committee.
Local El Ninos in Peru tend to be followed by the global El Nino phenomenon, which can trigger flooding and droughts in different countries, said Gutierrez.
The US weather agency has put the chances of an El Nino developing in the second half of 2017 at 50-55 per cent.
While precipitation in Peru has not exceeded the powerful El Nino of 1998, more rain is falling in shorter periods of time — rapidly filling streets and rivers, said Jorge Chavez, a general tasked with coordinating the government's response.
"We've never seen anything like this before," said Chavez. "From one moment to the next, sea temperatures rose and winds that keep precipitation from reaching land subsided."
Some scientists have said climate change will make El Ninos more frequent and intense.
In Peru, apocalyptic scenes recorded on cellphones and shared on social media have broadened the sense of chaos.
A woman caked in mud pulled herself from under a debris-filled river earlier this week after a mudslide rushed through a valley where she was tending to crops. — Reuters
