Between us we have more than 85 years of highly relevant and finely tuned expertise in adult education and training across a wide range of sectors.
Add this experience and competence to our core values of honesty, transparency and service, and you realise what we are about.
Our motto is "OrnamentumLoginquitasEruditio" which translates to "distinction in distance learning". We mean it! We also strive to maintain that focus.
Many of our students enrol as a result of a recommendation or by word of mouth from friends and colleagues: see testimonies. We also supply courses to county councils and numerous independent centres around the UK. If however, you have not come across us until now we hope you will read on and choose
Cambridge Open College as your first class Learning Provider.

The College's founders have more than 25 years combined expertise in education generally, and distance learning (also known as home study) in particular.

Most are endorsed or accredited by some of the UK's most prolific Awarding Organisations.
The college's students come from all walks of life, and undertake the courses for a wide range of reasons, including career enhancement, continuous professional development (CPD), and studying purely for fun to expand their existing knowledge of a hobby or stimulating subject.
We exist because of our students. You are the most important resource we have. If you want to study a course we don't currently have, let us know. We are always looking for more to satisfy our growing alumni.

India is my life, my very breath. That is where I go to refresh myself, says Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani
One of the surprises for me at the recent Abu Dhabi Film Festival was the presence of a couple of foreigners who appeared to be in love with India.
Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani – who is as beautiful as she is bold – told me during an invigorating chat that India was like her mother. "When I am far away from your country, I feel that I am far away from my own mother", she said in all earnestness.
Farahani is all set to visit Goa in the next few days where she will take part in a conference on human rights – and how apt that will be for someone like her who has always fought for them. "It is a very, very important meeting, where a lot of important people from all over the world will come", she sounded enthusiastic.
But she seemed to be even more excited about her long stay in India. "After the conference, I will be at the International Film Festival of India in Panaji from Nov 20. Between the conference and the Festival, I am going to be spending time in Karnataka, in one of those tree houses in a place called Paradise Island", her eyes glowed as she described the place to me.
"India is my life, my very breath. That is where I go to refresh myself", Farahani is in love with the land. She felt that India was the only country where she could find peace. For, "it is the only democracy in the world which gives you perfect freedom and a perfect sense of tranquillity".
It was the lure of liberty which forced her to escape the restrictiveness of her native Iran five years ago. She settled in Paris, but kept coming back to India, which probably afforded her even greater independence.
A rebel all her life, Farahani tonsured her head when she was a teenager as a protest against the head scarf. Later, in Paris, she posed in the nude for a French photographer, inviting still greater wrath from her country's clergy.
Even on screen, she had been a free spirit. In Patience Stone, she has long conversations with her comatose husband. A point comes when her words get so sexually explicit that it shakes the man out of his vegetative state.
This time, at Abu Dhabi, she plays a school teacher in My Sweet Pepper Land, living alone in a desolate Kurdish village and fighting a brutish chieftain. And when she falls in love with the local cop, there is fire and fury. Interestingly, the movie has daringly intimate scenes.
There was another India lover at Abu Dhabi whom I met: Bosnian director Danis Tanovic. Here was a helmer from a little land in Europe making an Indian movie in Punjab! He has just finished shooting White Lies (working title), starring Emraan Hashmi, Geetanjali Thapa and Supriya Pathak, and produced by Anurag Kashyap. The film, largely shot in Punjab's Patiala, centres on a poor Pakistani and his struggle against a corrupt system.
Many years ago, when I first met Tanovic at the Cannes Film Festival, I could not have imagined that this guy would someday make an Indian movie. His film at the 2001 Cannes was No Man's Land, and it won the Best Screenplay Award there. Some months later in early 2002, the movie won the Best Foreign Language Oscar. No Man's Land was a gripping story of three soldiers caught in no man's land between the borders of their respective countries.
At the Abu Dhabi Festival with his latest work, An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker – which is Bosnia's official submission for the 2014 foreign language Oscar — Tanovic told me in the course of an interview that his movie stood no chance of making it to the nomination basket of five.
(Life of an Iron Picker narrates the harrowing tale of a Roma family when the woman who has had a miscarriage cannot undergo a surgical procedure because her husband is unable to pay the hospital bill.)
Tanovic contended that "there are far better ones than mine competing…But I wish India's The Lunchbox had been submitted. From Telluride to Toronto, it has been getting rave reviews. I would have withdrawn my work to accommodate this Indian picture. If it could have been nominated as Bosnia's entry, I would have done it. It is such good cinema with fine performances…". Tanovic's love for India is apparent.

The Mo' Better Food motto: "Every school shall have a garden, a farmers market and grocery store," utilizes the farmers market as a gateway to developing the grocery store. For example, the Mo' Better Food farmers market initially began at Mcclymonds High School. Students in my business class managed the market, built the website and produced various marketing materials to promote it. They were able to utilize technology to improve a social issue for their community (promote healthy food) while developing a market for under-served, African-Amerian communities). A few years later, I co-directed the West Oakland food Collaborative, which received a three year planning grant to expand the market into a grocery store. This same time of model can be applied to any community. Utilize your high schools as distribution centers for your local farmers!

I can't comment on how the new Tsui Hark film, Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon, plays with a Friday-night crowd; but in a near-empty multiplex at 10 AM on a Sunday, I found it to be great fun. Colorful, silly, and egregiously phony, it went down like a breakfast feast of Pop-Tarts, Fruity Pebbles, and about a half-dozen kinds of ice cream.

So you have teriyaki-style chicken breast, beef noodles with vegetables, ramen, and gyoza as well as simple, cheap plates of bulgogi and rice, daeji bulgogi (spicy marinated pork, here called pigogi), bibimbap, and the gampongi, which are hard-fried and sauced not as spicy or sweet as some of the neighborhood standbys, but still perfectly respectable. There are a few quirky side dishes too, namely a half-dozen deep-fried mashed potato croquettes and a big plate of stir-fried cabbage and bacon that, were it not for a hint of chile, wouldn't be out of place in a Polish restaurant.

Why Do You Even Need Great Photography?
Getting married is a big deal, but it's often hard to know what you're going to feel like on the day.
You've been together for a while, you're a couple. You think together, you travel together, and you are growing together, getting deeper entwined and as close to one other person as anybody ever was. Your family and your friends know you as individuals, but nobody knows exactly how you are when it's just the both of you – "us against the world".
Getting married is your contract, your commitment to each other, and it means more than just one day. The wedding is almost the smallest part of your being together, but at the same time it's the greatest show on earth. It will be your statement to the world and tough it can't completely define you it can be the centre point of that statement.
Of course everything has to be about your story and your uniqueness. Everything has to be a perfect description of the who, how, and why. Subtle or brash your wedding has to be everything you've learned as well as embracing new beginnings and the undiscovered.
Right now you might imagine that your wedding will feel like any other day. It's an event that you're certain of, and you'll naturally ride the day just as you take in any other exciting part of life. You might feel that you'll experience the day almost in the third person, and that the day itself will come and go as you fit in around it, like an abstract dream.
The truth is that most of us can't guess what it's going to feel like. I've seen the calmest people flutter, and I've seen people who I thought were going to be highly strung sail gently through. Tough boys breaking down when she walks up the aisle, and the softest girls becoming strong and empowered.
At nearly every wedding I've photographed I've witnessed people rising up, showing truly who they are by simply being the best of themselves. You can't pretend how you're going to feel. Those emotions have a way of coming to the surface and beaming out, shining bright.
I can't tell you how you're going to feel.
Everybody's different, and this makes every wedding unique. The format might be roughly the same, but I can't guess how your wedding is going to pan out.
Quiet? Intimate?
Loud, and excitable? Emotional?
What I can do is get involved. It's what I do. From the moment we start talking I'm hooked. I'm invested in getting to know as much about you as I can. Your pre wedding 'Together Shoot' is all about that – finding out more about your story as a couple. Breaking down the photographer bit. Getting to the people bit. You two take up a space that nobody else can. When you're together, and you're close, nobody can touch you.
But I can see it. And I can capture it.
It takes a lot of work to know how to get in there without disturbing something that is ultimately private, but it's worth the work. It gets better results.
It's a collaboration. A good photographer needs a couple to feel like they're amazing. Natural, honest, and authentic, but confident that you are amazing. Great photography can do this – can make you feel exactly as you know you will, even if you don't know it yet.
Please get in touch with me if you want to find out more and help me to get to where you need to get to.

Four-year-old Jordon showed resilience and a fighting spirit from the day he was born.
Jordon was born almost four months before his due date, weighing just over one pound. Diagnosed with a serious respiratory condition, little Jordon underwent a series of cardiopulmonary surgeries and had to have a tracheostomy inserted into his throat to help him breathe.
When Jordon came to St. Mary's Hospital for Children just after his first birthday, he had multiple developmental delays and even the most basic of skills such as sitting, eating, and breathing were challenging. But he was relentless in his journey towards recovery; always seeing past his disability and focusing on what he could do. He "played" hard at rehabilitation therapy and learned to sit, stand, walk, and even run. His rehabilitation progress was remarkable— as he neared his fifth birthday, Jordon's tracheostomy was removed and he was discharged and sent home for the first time since he was born. Jordon continues to receive St. Mary's nursing and rehabilitation services at home through St. Mary's Home Care, providing a continuum of post-acute services for Jordon and his mom.
The secret to Jordon's success, his incredible determination, the support and love of his family and the commitment of his nurses, therapists, teachers, doctors, and recreation staff from St. Mary's Hospital for Children who helped him reach one milestone after another.
Jordon was such an inspiration that he was named a Grand Marshal for the 2013 Walk for St. Mary's Kids. He and his family helped to lead the Walk to raise funds and awareness for children with special needs. Even now, Jordon's story continues to be a testament to the power of resilience and hope.

With no knowledge of who the lyrics belong to, a variety of artists give their unfiltered opinion on other rappers' bars.
50 Cent was caught - literally on camera - in what could have been a tricky situation, especially in light of his ongoing bankruptcy blues. But, of course, Fif can explain this one too.
Spotted by paparazzi outside of a Mercedes-Benz dealership isn't the best look for someone who has been sorting out some financial woes the past year and one would think Fif himself would know better than to attempt to buy a luxury car throughout all this madness.
A rep for the rapper spoke on his behalf, explaining that the reason the incriminating photo was able to be captured is because Fif's agent for his TV series Power has an office in the same building as the dealer. That's it. Nothing else to see here.
Luckily this time Fif wasn't doing anything stupid and we're sure the judge assigned to his case will be relieved to learn that he was working and not digging himself a deeper financial grave.

The East African Astronomical Society is a spin –off of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 activities. It was during this year that the first regional astronomy meeting (supported by IAU-TAD and SAAO) was held in Nairobi, Kenya (November 9- 13, 20009) that the idea of an Astronomical Society for East Africa was mooted and a team selected to spearhead the process of its establishment. The second regional meeting took place in February 2011 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where participants drawn largely from the region resolved to fast track the drafting of the constitution before MEARIM II held in April 2011 in Capetown , South Africa and report the progress made at the meeting. The third meeting of the Society took place in Mukono, Uganda and it was there that the first Annual General Meeting was held and interim officials were elected.
Astronomy is slowly but steadily being embraced as a new discipline in our public universities in the region. A number of universities in the East African region are developing curricula in astronomy at the Bachelor's degree level. However, the University of Nairobi (Kenya) is already running a program, i.e, BSc in Astronomy and Astrophysics, with about 51 students, with first lot expected to graduate in September 2013. In terms of infrastructure, Ethiopian Space Science Society (ESSS) together with Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Science and technology (MOST) are installing two optical telescopes at Entoto near Addis Ababa. Site survey for optical an telescope is in progress in Kenya; Telkom dish in Longonot, Kenya is to be converted into a radio telescope for the African VLBI and the Square kilometer Array is poised to establish a node in Kenya.
There are, however, a number of challenges, which include inter alia, the following:
• Lack of a critical mass of qualified astronomers within individual countries in various areas of specialization in astronomy. The few qualified astronomers are scattered across countries in the East African region and need to be facilitated to supervise or teaching in some of the programmes that are already running.
• Lack of facilities and resources to effectively run the existing programs.
• Lack of travel and accommodation support for postgraduate students to travel across borders to spend some time with potential supervisors as some of the students are self-sponsored.
• Lack of effective outreach within the individual countries.
At the moment the Society proposes to address some of these concerns the following means:
• Provide mobility support for both staff and students. This will ensure students reach their supervisors who may be in other distant universities within the East African region and qualified astronomers are able to spend sabbatical leave or a month or two at a university to teach a course or more.
• Partnerships- qualified astronomers to work with other like minded astronomers outside the region to produce teaching modules in specific areas of astronomy and astrophysics which can be used to teaching in the existing programmes and for posterity.
• Publication of newsletters to be circulated online and which can be used for outreach within the region and beyond.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

(Oct 2010)
The day after Asher's birthday party, we took Atia to "Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE" at the Chicago Theatre. If you have or know kids under the age of 5, then you've probably already started humming, "Run, run, run. It's fun, fun, fun. Run, run, run. It's fun, fun, fun…"
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, let me clue you in. "Yo Gabba Gabba" is a trippy kids' show on Nickelodeon. Its charm lies within its catchy lesson-based tunes like, "Be nice to everyone, and they will be nice to you", "Don't, don't, don't bite your friends" or the classic, "Try it, you'll like it." I've literally sung every one of these songs to Atia at one point or another - while reminding her to be nice, to not bite or when tempting her to eat something she's never had.
Admittedly, the characters are bazaar, ranging from the fuzzy green striped, unibrow sportin', Mr. Bill smiling, stumpy leg havin', excessively long arm wavin' monster named, Brobee to the tall, red, one-eyed monster donning mysterious, asymmetric lumps from top to bottom named, Muno to DJ Lance Rock the only human in the bunch, but that's not saying much. He's the thinnest, smiliest, workin' the orange unitard like nobody's business-iest kinda guy I've ever seen. Everyone at the show received his trademark thick-brimmed, black, square-framed glasses (I still don't understand how we were brainwashed to think nerdy, thick rimmed glasses were cool, but we do!).
I was really excited about the show. I honestly had grown fond of the characters, the well-known guest and the underlying principles melodically illustrated. Steve happily supported Atia's 1st concert/show, but wasn't overly enthusiastic (the tickets were expensive and he's never been a big fan of the theatre).
Atia was excited, but we feared that may be short-lived once she spotted the oversized characters and was accosted by the excessive volume (she didn't like loud things). Beyond those challenges, Atia had recently resumed chemo after an extended suspension, so she was also dealing with those side effects again. We weren't exactly sure how it would all go down, so we brought a little insurance for backup (aka, her blankie and binki).
We took the elevated train (aka, the L) downtown. It was Atia's 1st train ride and she excitedly pointed out all that flashed by. Never before, nor since, has public transportation been as entertaining. She breathed life into everything we did – even the most menial things like riding the L.
Atia was fascinated with the red velvet theatre chairs; she gaily pushed the seats down just to watch them spring upright again. Oh the joys of childhood!
We spotted our friends who were joining us, and shortly thereafter the lights dimmed. The crowed began clapping and chanting, making Atia uneasy. She nervously squirmed until the music began. I had one hand on her binkie ready to pop it in her mouth if her anxiety escalated.
But instead, we were seamlessly whisked away into the fantasy of "Yo Gabba Gabba" land. We cheerfully sang along, excitedly participated in the interactive songs, and got lost in the pure fun of it all.
Atia was bitten by the dancin' bug; the girl couldn't sit still. She was up shaking her booty during every song – and there were a lot of 'em. It was hysterical, beautiful, awe inspiring and heartwarming all at the same time. Our hearts melted as we watched her and applauded her every move. All her hip swaying, booty shaking, and foot stomping was worlds away from the little girl who'd been so feeble months earlier.
The "Yo Gabba Gabba" gang might be creepy to some, but not us. We drank the Gabba kool-aid and have been loyal viewers ever since. We've even turned Asher into a fan.
In the words of DJ Lance Rock, "YO, it's almost time to go, but first let's remember what we've done today." This video will help us review.It was taken during the show, and I promise you'll catch yourself smiling as you watch 3 year old Atia while battling cancer, shaking it like she owns it!

NYC voters are heading to the polls all day to vote inside old clunker machines dating back to the middle of last century.
The two front runners are both tall Italian men. Republican Lhota and Democrat DiBlasio, according to the latest data available, However 40% is needed to win the nomination without a runoff.
NYC is rolling out the old lever voting machines for the primary. These units date back to the 1960s. Albany lawmakers approved their use because of major problems with new electronic machines during the previous election.
These ancient machines may be used in the event of a runoff, but the NY legislature wants to have the high-tech models ready for the general election in November.
Voting started at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. and a high turnout is not expected. Voters can find their designated polling place at http://www.elections.ny.gov.

I am too lost for the document of CFX4.3. At the page 3-267, it says Gidaspow dense concentration model is used for all volume fractions if the 'Ergun' keyword is used. But the Ergun's law is for fixed bed, does it mean the Ergun's law is used for all volume fractions, or the wen and yu's law is used for all? If the latter is right, the keyword 'Ergun' is not appropriate here.

Peppermint Popcorn is a quick snack to put together for family movie night – I'm enjoying the peppermint flavors this year.
The weather outside is frightful so put your favorite movie on and enjoy a warm cozy evening together with popcorn – peppermint popcorn drizzled with white chocolate.
This is an easy process, you can make it after supper and by the time everyone gets to the couch for the start of the movie the popcorn is ready. I've made this several times already and it takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.
All you need is 4 large candy canes, white chocolate, Andes peppermint baking chips, and/or peppermint chips. To make it 'VERY' easy use a large bag of your favorite brand of popcorn.
Peppermint Popcorn
- 4 med.-lg. candy canes, chopped
- 1 cup of white candy melts
- 1/3 cup of any type of peppermint chips or use M&Ms
- 1 large bag of popcorn
- Any other small candy (I used some white chocolate peppermint M&Ms)
- Lay out the popcorn on a sheet pan and chop the candy canes.
- Melt the candy discs in a double boiler. as soon as you see the bottom chips soften remove the bowl from the pan and stir continuously until all the pieces are melted and the chocolate is smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate on the popcorn in ¼ sections so you can sprinkle the chopped candy canes and any other candy you use over the chocolate before it hardens. This takes only a few minutes and you are done.
- Add in other candy if you wish, I used a handful of white chocolate peppermint M&Ms candy.
- Place the tray of popcorn in the fridge to chill for 15-20 minutes, or until ready to serve.
- Break up and put into a bowl.
After the movie how about a delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows peppermint dippers.

PITTSBURGH, May 7 (UPI) -- A western Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty but mentally ill to killing his parents.
James Yeckel, 54, was sentenced Monday immediately after he entered his plea to two counts of third-degree murder, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
The bodies of Carol and James Yeckel Sr., both 74, were found in September 2011 in their home in West Deer about 15 miles north of Pittsburgh. Both had been shot.
Yeckel was diagnosed as a schizophrenic in 1994. His sister, Deborah Rees, told police he had a pattern of disappearing for months or years at a time and then returning home to live with his parents.
Rees said her brother came home for the last time in August 2011. She said her mother was frightened of him and worried about the way he was acting, including watching television with the sound turned so low it was inaudible and saying he could talk to animals.
Relatives cried as Yeckel apologized during Monday's hearing.
"I wish he would have accepted the help offered to him many times throughout the years," his sister-in-law, Jane Yeckel of Baldwin, said after the sentencing. "This would have never happened."

Neural control of complex vocal behaviors, such as birdsong and speech, requires integration of biomechanical nonlinearities through muscular output. Although control of airflow and tension of vibrating tissues are known functions of vocal muscles, it remains unclear how specific muscle characteristics contribute to specific acoustic parameters. To address this gap, we removed heparan sulfate chains using heparitinases to perturb neuromuscular transmission subtly in the syrinx of adult male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). Infusion of heparitinases into ventral syringeal muscles altered their excitation threshold and reduced neuromuscular transmission changing their ability to modulate airflow. The changes in muscle activation dynamics caused a reduction in frequency modulation rates and elimination of many high-frequency syllables but did not alter the fundamental frequency of syllables. Sound amplitude was reduced and sound onset pressure was increased, suggesting a role of muscles in the induction of self-sustained oscillations under low-airflow conditions, thus enhancing vocal efficiency. These changes were reversed to preinfusion levels by 7 days after infusion. These results illustrate complex interactions between the control of airflow and tension and further define the importance of syringeal muscle in the control of a variety of acoustic song characteristics. In summary, the findings reported here show that altering neuromuscular transmission can lead to reversible changes to the acoustic structure of song. Understanding the full extent of muscle involvement in song production is critical in decoding the motor program for the production of complex vocal behavior, including our search for parallels between birdsong and human speech motor control.
NEW & NOTEWORTHY It is largely unknown how fine motor control of acoustic parameters is achieved in vocal organs. Subtle manipulation of syringeal muscle function was used to test how active motor control influences acoustic parameters. Slowed activation kinetics of muscles reduced frequency modulation and, unexpectedly, caused a distinct decrease in sound amplitude and increase in phonation onset pressure. These results show that active control enhances the efficiency of energy conversion in the syrinx.

Japanese electronics company Panasonic has now rolled out the new smartphone named Eluga Tapp in India after launching the P77 in September 2016. The new smartphone will be available via major brand outlets throughout the country with a price tag of Rs. 8,990.
Panasonic launched this phone for the budget customers with some attractive and highlighting features. The headset houses a fingerprint scanner and 4G VoLTE support to enjoy Jio services. It also comes with the integration of Android for work feature to differ work apps and personal apps from each other and protects the data also. This integration makes it easier for the user to access personal apps and work apps differently with ease.
While talking about the specifications, the Panasonic Eluga Tapp flaunts a 5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) IPS display. It comes with a 1.25GHz quad-core processor coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage which can be further expandable up to 32GB through microSD card.
Now, coming to the camera modules, the headset houses an 8MP primary camera with a 5MP selfie shooter. It supports Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Dual-Sim enabled smartphone in which one SIM slot supports both 3G and 4G whereas another SIM slot supports 2G only and the smartphone is backed by a 2800mAh battery.

The headset includes 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct, Global Positioning System (A-GPS), and FM Radio as its connectivity options. In addition to the fingerprint sensor, it also packs with a proximity, accelerometer, and ambient light sensor.

There are plenty of people with nylon and stocking fetishes and yet the majority of sites are only offering sheer and nude hosiery. Only Opaques takes a u-turn on this fetish and promises a much more teasing take as chicks prance around in solid colored nylons.
OnlyOpaques doesn't promise to be anything but a teasing site, so if you're set on hardcore you may wish to go elsewhere. However, if you're stuck on hosiery that silhouettes and defines shapely legs, hips and buttocks without revealing the intimate details of a woman's body, then you're in luck.
Members can set their own browsing features, which I thought was terrific and the site is fairly easy to browse anyhow. All content is listed in a menu at the top of the page. There are some free preview galleries, but there are no bonuses that come with this site unless you have selected to join the network for a higher admission fee.
There is a forum inside the site as well. Here you can talk to others that share your fetish, talk about the site or make model requests.
Currently, there are 104 sexy babes featured in 119 videos and approximately 323 sets of photos. Videos are around five-minutes in length. They are high-quality AVIs, but obviously this site is more focused on creating photo images. Still, I think there are a half decent number of videos at the moment and they're definitely erotic in nature as the chicks feel, caress and pull at their opaque hosiery.
I particularly loved getting a subtle peak at their panties through their solid nylons, although there are some babes that wear stockings instead of pantyhose, just in case you prefer to see the satiny or lacy undergarments along with your main fetish. Movies can only be downloaded, but they don't take long and they're a tease worth waiting for!
Photos are available in Zip files and there are three different sizes, although when possible I suggest the ultra-large for the best resolution (above 2000px). You can still view them online or in a slideshow, although the images are smaller. The babes pose in indoor and outdoor locations to give each set a bit of variety and, aside from casual and formal dress, they often appear in different uniforms to add a whole lot of zest. There are coeds in Catholic and British college uniforms and there are maids, business babes, waitresses and even a few leotard-wearing gymnists. While I didn't see any babes without panties, there are some chicks that go topless just for that extra kick of enjoyment.
A soft erotic site, Only Opaques is a tease worth checking into for anyone with a fetish for solid-colored stockings and pantyhose. There's a lot of content to surf, the chicks are a delight and the site maintains a good pace when it comes to variety of sets offered and they do offer new content several times a week.

Irresistible Vegan Omelette!
I decided to make something a little nicer than usual for lunch and came up something I'm sure you'll love! A Vegan Omelette! My husbands absolute favorite! I made it as a surprise and he smiled and said "Yummy honey!"
When we shifted to a vegan lifestyle, it was hard letting go of staples that we grew up on such as cheese and eggs, but not when you have creative solutions such as these! The results are better than hoped for, creating a rich creamy vegan omelette sure to please!
How is this possible? This recipe was made possible by this blog, so I have all of you to thank! Last year the creator of The Vegg reached out to me asking if I'd like to try a sample of their vegan egg substitute. I was so excited after looking at their website I eagerly said yes and was thrilled with the results. My first attempt can be found here. This time I tried a new recipe, modified it and am sharing it below!
The product creates an egg substitute that is out of this world, it can be made into many wonderful creations including a fried egg, a poached egg, scrambled eggs, omelettes and so much more! The basis of the ingredients are nutritional yeast so it is my sneaking suspicion that one could try to use nutritional yeast in lieu of The Vegg Egg, however I have yet to test this theory as I've been so pleased with their product. If you'd like to make your very own, you will need the following...
Sauteed red onion, green onions, 1 sorrano pepper, 1/2 tomato, spinach and garlic clove (etc. your favorites)
I hope you enjoy many vegan meals to come! Thank you all for your support!!! Best wishes for an incredible week!

Wow. A tasty blast from the past. Not quite as good as the ones from my youth but still mouth-watering. The ones I remember came in a longer box and the candy was longer and thicker.
Posted by Unknown on 13th Dec 2015
I was introduced to the toffee a few years ago. One of my co-workers friends brought her some bars back from Canada. She game me one and the rest is history. Then one of my patients said he was headed to Canada on business. He brought me back a box. I made that 24 bars last as long as I could. Well, I was out. So I just went on-line. Thanks
Posted by Unknown on 7th Dec 2015
When I was a kid we lived in International Falls, Mn and my Grandma lived in Fort Francis, Canada. She would always have this Mackintosh toffee for us kids. I was so glad to find this product again. It sure takes me back to the good old days. Thanks a lot

This was one of my favorites when I was growing up. At that time it came in plastic wrap with a cardboard box. The majority of my Dad's family lived in the Western Provinces, but we were down in California. I'm SO GLAD that my sister just got me some when she was up in Niagara Falls a few weeks ago with her Husband. I went online to search, got a box, and now I'm writing this review! THANK YOU! - Darren :)
Posted by Janis on 15th Jun 2015
My husband has been asking his niece and nephew in Canada to find him this toffee for years. He remembers it from his youth in Kitchener, Ontario. His nephew finally found it at Christmas and sent him some. He has been in heaven ever since. We just ordered another box as he either ate or shared the box from Christmas.

About 1 in every 100 people has epilepsy but a single seizure does not necessarily mean you have epilepsy as 1 in 20 people have a seizure at some time in their lives. Epilepsy can affect anyone, at any age, and many children with epilepsy will outgrow it. 75% of people with epilepsy have had their first seizure before the age of 20. Epilepsy is not infectious or contagious and up to 80% of people will have their epilepsy controlled by medication.
EPILEPSY SOUTH AFRICA is a dynamic organisation providing development services nationally to promote equal opportunities for people with epilepsy and other disabilities. Our vision is to provide integrated services that are equitable, accessible, sustainable and people-centered with and for people with epilepsy and other disabilities and all affected by epilepsy, to promote social justice.

MIT folks love ratings and nerdy stuff, and the website Time Blimp serves up a savory combination of those elements. For example, Time Blimp has developed a ranting for the coolest nerds by identifying people who have been in diverse professional collaborations such acting like a movie, publishing an academic article, and playing some music. The great news is that three MIT alumni have reached this pinnacle.
"In a nutshell, it combines Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (which you've probably heard of) with Erdos Numbers (which maybe rings a bell, if you're a mathematician) and Sabbath Numbers (same deal, with the band Black Sabbath). If you've been in a movie you probably have a Bacon Number, if you've coauthored a research publication you likely have an Erdos number, and if you've gigged as a professional musician you might have a Sabbath Number. If you have all three, you are …on the highly exclusive list of people with an Erdos-Bacon-Sabbath number."
MITers who have reach this peak:
- Richard Feynman '38 theoretical physicist
- Buzz Aldrin ScD '63, astronaut, author
- Woody Paul aka Paul Chrisman PhD '76, Riders in the Sky fiddler who will be profiled in the March issue of Technology Review.
See the the Erdős Bacon Sabbath Project for the complete list.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Dennis Neuman threw a one-hitter as Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles beat Valencia, Venezuela, 3-0 Thursday in the international semifinals of the Little League World Series.
Curacao (3-1) advanced to Saturday's international championship against unbeaten Sendai, Japan. Japan beat Curacao 5-0 in pool play.

Neuman (2-0) struck out nine, including the side in the top of the sixth to end the game.
His defense was solid behind him, as well, with shortstop Hairo Polonius and first baseman Timothy Juliana turning a double play to end the second, and right fielder Rodien Genaro making a running catch to end the fourth.
Curacao scored two runs in the bottom of the first on bases-loaded walks.

What would your reaction be if you lost a particular Word document, email, picture, etc. from your computer? If your answer is cry, kick, or scream, that file should be backed up!
- Email, email attachments, address book
- Email is a no brainer. It contains oodles of important conversations, information, and provides us with a highly efficient and documented way to communicate with one another. Many of us reference old emails frequently throughout the day to reference procedures, dates and other things. Losing older email can result in a serious problem as there is usually a ton of important information that people keep in their email. Through our partnership with Google, we're provided with a tremendous amount of email storage (25 GB). And, Google keeps our email at redundant sites for disaster recovery and continuity. This, however, does not mean that our Google email is automatically backed up. So in short, if you delete a message, delete your inbox, etc. and empty the trash, there is no backup to get it back. Using a local mail client and saving things in your local folders is one way to create a backup of your email. To discuss your email back up options, contact the ITS Help Desk to speak with a team member on how best to preserve your data.
- Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) documents
- Multimedia files (music, movies, videos, etc.)

Françoise Graton, Georges Groulx, and Gilles Pelletier found la Nouvelle Compagnie Théâtrale in Montreal, specializing early on in classics from French drama. Just one year later, in 1965 a Centre d'Essai des Auteurs Dramatiques is also founded in Montreal to promote French-language playwriting in Quebec and increase international awareness of Quebec theatre. Their influence causes la Nouvelle Compagnie Théâtrale to produce Marcel Dubé's Un Simple Soldat in 1969, following which they expand their mandate to include new Quebec plays.

Builders Story
Early Life and Company Beginnings.
Albert G. Van Metre, Sr. came from a military family, son of a Navy commodore and descendant of three admirals. Before he launched a career in homebuilding, Albert G. Van Metre proudly served in the United States military. He began his education at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and completed it at George Washington University with a degree in engineering. After Officer Candidate School with the U.S. Army, Mr. Van Metre served at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. It was while at Fort Belvoir that he began his career in real estate, and from there, he never looked back. Utilizing his engineering background, Mr. Van Metre began assisting two gentlemen on the weekend, surveying and subdividing land for their residential developments. He quickly determined that he wanted to develop his own land, and with a partner, developed his first two lots in Alexandria. That initial foray swiftly led to many more projects in the Northern Virginia area including larger developments and planned communities. With strong determination and an unrelenting work ethic, Mr. Van Metre's vision for Van Metre Companies quickly became reality. The business that bears his name was his life's passion.
Growth and Family Business.
In 1963, Albert G. Van Metre Jr., known as Beau, joined his father at the Van Metre Companies and today serves as the Chairman of the Company. Mr. Van Metre and Beau Van Metre, along with the other executive owners, Rick Rabil, Ken Ryan and Brad Gable, grew Van Metre Companies into the multi-faceted real estate development company it is today. Within its portfolio, Van Metre Companies controls investment properties, both residential and commercial, master planned communities, residential subdivisions, title and mortgage services, a building supply company, athletic facilities and golf courses. Thanks to the strong foundation and strategic planning of Albert G. Van Metre, the Van Metre Companies has thrived since his death in 2008. With many family members actively involved in the business today, Van Metre Companies proudly remains a family operation, and will continue as one for generations to come.
In addition to homebuilding, Mr. Van Metre had a renowned passion for philanthropy. He was a strong supporter of many charitable organizations, most notably non-profit hospice care, and enjoyed working with young people. An avid sailboat racer, he parlayed his love of sailing into philanthropy when he helped found the Hospice Cup Regatta in the 1980's. The Hospice Cup Regatta remains the largest charity sailing regatta in the country.
Mr. Van Metre's commitment to giving back to the community is one of the core values of Van Metre Companies today. Van Metre employees donate their time in support of local charities such as Children's National Medical Center, HomeAid and Women Giving Back, among many others. The Van Metre Companies Foundation was formed in May 2014 and is run by a group of employees who serve as the Board of Directors and have full discretion over the disbursement of the Foundation's funds to local organizations.
Core Values of the Company.
Van Metre Companies adheres to a strong set of values in addition to its emphasis on philanthropy. Its employee are guided by four key principles: Integrity, Ownership, Respect and Dignity. Van Metre Companies defines success as providing the highest quality and best valued products and services in the marketplace with the goal of earning customers for life. Its reputation has been built by adhering to Mr. Van Metre's core values and mission in every facet of the business, and by hiring and retaining the best employees. A strong, established culture and solid business planning ensure that Van Metre will remain one of the most admired companies in the Washington DC area and a trusted "Builder for Life" for years to come.

Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau conclude their news conference, March 10, 2016. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)4. The U.S. and Canada both say they'll propose new measures on HFCs this year. HFCs are used in air conditioning and refrigeration as well as foaming agents, aerosols and solvents. They currently account for less than one per cent of total greenhouse gases. However, like other short-lived pollutants, hydrofluorocarbons have a much greater warming impact than carbon dioxide, and the use of HFCs is growing eight per cent a year as global demand for air conditioning increases. 5. In 2012, Canada joined Bangladesh, Ghana, Mexico, Sweden, the United States and the United Nations Environment Programme in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition. The voluntary group aimed at reducing short-lived pollutants. At the time it was estimated that, if left unchecked, short-term climate pollutants would contribute about half of the climate-warming effect from man-made emissions over the next two decades.

It allows developers to eradicate boilerplate by offloading repeating work from humans to machine. PostSharp contains ready-made implementations of the most common patterns and gives you the tools to build automation for your own patterns. Developers usually think in terms of design patterns, but with conventional programming languages, they end up writing boilerplate code. PostSharp extends the C# and VB languages with a notion of pattern. The result: shorter, cleaner code that's easier to write and understand, contains fewer defects and is less expensive to maintain. If it's repetitive, it can be automated. Think about the following requirements. Have you ever hoped there would be a better way to implement them?
