Waltzing in Vienna
Vienna is a gorgeous city to visit year-round. The imperial and baroque buildings blended with fascinating modern architecture make for a truly unique cityscape. Throw in a culture filled with history, music and traditions and you have the perfect city destination.If you travel to Vienna in the winter, you are in for some special treats. December is, of course, the season for magical Christmas markets–one of my favorite times of the year! Browsing stands for handicrafts, Christmas tree decorations, culinary treats and gifts as I take in the scent of punch, roasted chestnuts and Christmas spices. When I get too cold, I hop into one of Vienna's many cozy and traditional coffee houses to warm up with a nice cup of 'Wiener Melange' and a piece of Sachertorte. Mmmh, what a wonderful time!
However, this time, I would like to highlight a very unique Viennese winter tradition. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable night in the imperial city. The city of music. The city of waltzes.Every winter, more than 400 formal balls take place in Vienna, coming from a tradition that dates back to carnival season in the 18th century. To this day all balls have a strict formal dress code and ceremonial procedures. I love dressing up for this and it is part of the magical atmosphere of the evening. Ladies are required to wear full length dress and gentlemen need to wear a tuxedo or similar black suit and tie. If you don't have the right attire to attend, no problem. There are several rental shops throughout Vienna. Just make sure to schedule an appointment ahead of time, they do get rather busy during ball season
Once the ball is opened with a fanfare, it is followed by the entry of the debutants and debutantes and finally the call "Alles Walzer!" The evening continues in three-four-time with turning movements, dance cards, ladies' choice and changes of music until the 'midnight interlude', generally a quadrille, marks the formal ending of this. But the formal ending is only the beginning of the real party, when music in the different halls changes from classical Strauss to contemporary tunes for all tastes and dance styles. Often times, these celebrations go on until the early morning hours.
For the full on fairytale experience, I recommend staying in luxurious 5-Star Hotel Sacher (yes, the home of the Sachertorte!) and book a horse-carriage transfer to the ball venue (If your budget is a little smaller opt for 4-star Hotel Kaiserhof and a transfer by car instead). It's been a while since you last danced? Not to worry, we've got you covered with a private Waltzing lesson before you head to the big event. No matter your level, the teacher will make sure you got the basic steps and rhythm down.
One last important note: Tickets are limited, so make sure you get yours soon. Opt for the Johann-Strauss Ball at the Kursalson on Febuary 16th 2019, which includes a gala dinner. If dinner is not as important, because you are going to dance the entire night anyway, the Philharmonics Ball on January 23rd 2019, which does not include dinner, may be the right choice for you. The Philharmonics ball is also considered the unofficial highlight of the ball season.
No matter which of the balls or which hotel you pick, one thing is certain: you are in for a real fancy treat and this will be a night to remember. Are you ready? Well then: Alles Walzer!

File size: 15 MB

ELCOMSOFT WIRELESS SECURITY AUDITOR 4.0.211 KEYGEN is a program that lets you create your own automated functions, or "Recipes" as they're called in the app, by opening Channels from one app to another. There are no additional features, no sharing options, no way to save or export. The icons are clear and easy to understand and the presentation of the search results is extremely well designed. It is fast and easy to access all of these menus, the changes happen instantly, and we noticed no slowdown or battery life loss as you'll see with some menu bar ELCOMSOFT WIRELESS SECURITY AUDITOR 4.0.211 KEYGENs. Packed with a ton of features, ELCOMSOFT WIRELESS SECURITY AUDITOR 4.0.211 KEYGEN will bring that dinky phone/tablet camera to the next level. ELCOMSOFT WIRELESS SECURITY AUDITOR 4.0.211 KEYGEN lets you send picture and video messages to your friends that are viewable for between one and ten seconds, so you can be sure that whoever you sent it to will be the only person to see it. ELCOMSOFT WIRELESS SECURITY AUDITOR 4.0.211 KEYGEN gives you the tools to give your photos the look of oil paintings complete with frames, and then lets you share them with friends. While it
could use a better organizational framework, it's not too hard to use once you get the hang of it -- and it's completely free. While higher-level content is engaging and unique, the time investment required to reach it is enough that many people will be turned off before they get there. If you want to see what images are available on Fotolia, ELCOMSOFT WIRELESS SECURITY AUDITOR 4.0.211 KEYGEN can show you. Apart from a few playback controls, the majority of the screen is reserved for displaying your favorite stations or search results. Set a time frame
for how long you are allowed to distract yourself on your phone. Spelltower has a nice variety of modes, ranging from fast-playing frantic (with rows getting added from the bottom when you form a word, or on a timer) to the more perfectionist and meditative Tower Mode, in which you try to score the most points possible from 100 letters. You'll need to give the app permission to access various bits of information and to make changes to your computer, but once that's done it runs fairly smoothly. It's not the best option, though, if you're actually interested in watching the videos, themselves, as the viewing window is quite small. While there is no Help file or any kind of tutorial, the basic interface, consisting of a button to add domains, a slider bar timer, and a button to start the timer, is easy to comprehend, and setting up the app is a snap. With sharing functions, photo taking capabilities and e-mail attachment saving, Rainbow Drive is an all-in-one solution that really works. In addition to letting you view which programs are tracking you at any given point in time, you can also block or unblock these trackers selectively. We skipped ahead to Making Auras, which offered a way-too-long explanation. The need for an account and to log in every time you launch the app is frustrating, too.

The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons had to do something really wild before becoming one of the highest-paid actors on TV, and it involved a wild animal.
Parsons scored his sixth Emmy nomination for The Big Bang Theory this year, but he's not just getting recognition for the comedy — he also scored a nod for his dramatic work in HBO's The Normal Heart.
Scoring seven Emmy nominations and three Emmy awards is a certainly an impressive feat, and Jim has come a long way from his days suckling on a wolf's teat. You read that right — one of Jim Parsons' early TV roles required him to act like a human wolf pup. This sounds more like the kind of part Penny would score on The Big Bang Theory.
Zap2it dug up the old ad footage and asked the question, "Based on what you're about to see, would you give this person an Emmy?" The bizarre video features The Big Bang Theory star chowing down on a boring untoasted sub in a 2003 Quiznos commercial. While he's sitting on a bench trying to enjoy his chilly lunch, a smug toasted sub eater asks him if he was raised by wolves.
You can check out two different versions of Jim Parsons' crazy commercial below. Because the teat-suckling thing was "potentially disturbing," it only aired after 9:30 p.m.
The commercial aired 4 years before The Big Bang Theory became a big hit for CBS, but you can see hints of Sheldon Cooper in Jim Parsons' speech and mannerisms. His commercial character takes the smug sub eater's sarcastic question seriously and delivers a deadpan response to it. He also doesn't respond to the incredulous look on the smug sub eater's face. Much like Sheldon, Jim Parsons' Mowgli sandwich muncher doesn't seem to pick up on social cues.
Jim doesn't credit the Quiznos commercial for helping him break "into the acting stratosphere," but he told CBS News that it did help him during casting sessions:
"It certainly gave me a conversation piece. Half the battle, and I'm not kidding, in certain casting sessions and everything, are — well, you have something interesting to say. And then if you've suckled at the teat of a Siberian Husky, you have something interesting to say. Maybe not good, but it's interesting."
Jim Parsons' Quiznos commercial isn't the only fun video of The Big Bang Theory star currently making the rounds on the web. He recently traded his cold sub for cold water, and he poured it all over costar Mayim Bialik. Parsons completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge a few days ago, and he included Bialik and another The Big Bang Theory costar, Kunal Nayyar, on his list of nominees. As The Inquisitr previously reported, Kaley Cuoco has already completed the challenge.
To make sure that Mayim Bialik went through with the challenge, Parsons helped her out by hopping in a shower with her and dumping a bucket of ice water on her head. Judging from the way they're dressed in Mayim's video, it looks like Shamy filmed it on after working on The Big Bang Theory together. It's one of the cutest challenge videos yet.
What do you think of Jim Parsons' odd Quiznos commercial? Is it funny or just plain freaky?

It took some days before I collected the books brought by my Aunt from New York because it was whirlwind two weeks starting Abot Tala in our own space. They were waiting days for me to take the box and when I opened Ken Danford's book, I of course, automatically searched for the page where it mentions Abot Tala:
As of Fall 2018, it appears the next center joining Liberated Learners sometime in 2018-2019 will be Abot Tala in Manila, Philippines. This group hosted me for a visit in July 2018 which I summarized in a blog post on our Liberated Learners site. I am encouraged that this project is proceeding carefully and optimistically.
Right after that, I proceeded to read the whole chapter called "The Hard Parts" because it's difficult starting up, struggling with one thing after another, putting out fires, tending the flame but enjoying the process nonetheless. Before Ken started North Star, he had tons to complain about teaching in public school. Things "shifted dramatically" for him at North Star because he "had very little to complain about in terms of students" and his workday. He looked forward going to the center he created, and enjoyed his time there with the kids, free from the limiting structures of regular school. However, he faced a different set of challenges: "money, the public image and public understanding of North Star, and hard cases of teens and families."
In Abot Tala's case, the current hurdles are marketing, manpower and the special cases that make us want to dial a friend and ask for higher expert advice. I can't wait to read the whole book to search for clues that could guide us and firm up our tentative steps.
Ken Danford was inspired to create North Star in 1995 when somebody gave him a copy of Grace Llewellyn's seminal book, The Teenage Liberation Handbook which he read in one sitting and was, in his own words, "mesmerized." A year after, Ken quit his teaching job and opened North Star with Josh Hornick. In 2016, they invited Grace Llewellyn herself to speak at North Star's 20th year celebration. Grace was then moved to initiate her own Liberated Learner Center patterned on North Star which was inspired by her very own book twenty years prior. Life coming into full circle!
About Ken's first book, Learning is Natural, School is Optional, Grace wrote:
If all that this book accomplished was to paint a vision for how self-directed learning could become accessible to all kids who find school soul-crushing, that alone would be a huge contribution to our desperate public discourse on education. Learning via the pursuit of one's joys is a privilege available to few — mostly to those whose parents unearth both the courage and the resourcefulness needed. The miracles of unschooling have typically been individual miracles concerning individual families and individual kids. So even just nudging our collective consciousness to imagine how we could do better — that in itself would be quite something.
The amazing thing is, Ken and his friend Josh did their own imagining for a few months in 1996, then they promptly got on the practicalities. They quit their middle school teaching jobs and opened a radically new kind of center.
For over 20 years, North Star: Self-Directed Learning for Teens has been making joyful, inspired, consent-based learning possible for every youth in the vicinity who wants to try it (and, of course, whose parents are willing to give it a chance). Ken and his team have accrued an astounding body of stories and wisdom, from nitty-gritty to existential to unexpected and uplifting. In person, Ken is a delightful human — funny, sincere, blunt, generous and understated. I'm thrilled to find that reading his book is just like listening to him talk.
If you want to get your own copy, check it out on Amazon.
Reminiscing when Ken was in Manila — his first time in the Philippines and he went down a ravine at Gopala Learning Haven, visited Payatas, met the team of Blended Learning Center, was interviewed on radio, delivered a talk at Fully Booked and helped give birth to Abot Tala.
A big, big thank you to Ken for writing his book. A big, big thank you to my Ninang Lin for bringing the books to me. All the books I am able to give away about self-directed learning is through the great generosity of Ninang Lin.

Local IIS Web Site Projects
A local Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site project is an IIS Web application on your computer. Visual Studio communicates with the Web site project by using the HTTP protocol. Creating or opening a local IIS Web site project is useful in the following situations:
You want to test your Web site project using IIS in a way that closely emulates how the Web site will run on a production server. This can have advantages over working with file-system Web site projects that run using the Visual Studio Development Server, because paths are resolved as they will be on a production server.
You already have a set of Web site files in a folder and you want to test the Web site with IIS. In that case, you can create a virtual directory in your local version of IIS.
Your local computer is also your Web server.
To open an existing local IIS Web site project or create a new one requires the following:
Your computer must have at least IIS version 5.0 installed and running.
ASP.NET version 2.0 or later must be installed and enabled in IIS. For details, see ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe).
The computer must be running the version of the .NET Framework that you are targeting, except that you can target 2.0 or 3.0 if you are running 3.5 or 4. For more information about targeting Web sites for specific versions of the .NET Framework, see .NET Framework Multi-Targeting for ASP.NET Web Projects.
You must be logged in as a user with administrative privileges.
To open an existing local IIS Web site also requires the following:
The site to be opened must be configured as an IIS application. For more information, see the topic "Creating Virtual Directories in IIS 6.0" in the Create a Virtual Directory (IIS 7).
The site must be configured to use ASP.NET version 2.0 or later. It is possible to have ASP.NET 2.0 or later installed on the computer but have the site to be opened still mapped to use an earlier version of ASP.NET.
Creating or Opening Local IIS Web Site Projects
When you create the Web site project, Visual Studio performs all of the tasks that are required in order to make the Web site project function as an IIS application. Visual Studio creates the folder or folders for your Web site project under the Web root for IIS (for example, under \inetpub\wwwroot). After creating folders, Visual Studio creates the files for the Web site project template that you selected.
You can create an IIS application as a subfolder of any existing IIS folder.
Project Files for Local IIS Web Site Projects
When you create or open a local IIS Web site project, Visual Studio creates a project file to manage the Web site files. The project file stores a small amount of information, such as your choices for how to run the application and what debuggers are available. Project information is stored on a per-user basis. For more information, see ASP.NET Web Projects.
Running Local IIS Web Site Projects
By default, when you run a local IIS Web site project to test it, Visual Studio launches a browser and runs the Web site using the server name localhost. For example, if you have created the Web site ExampleSite, when you test it in Visual Studio, the browser will request the test page from this URL:
IIS resolves the application name, whether it points to a folder that is under the IIS root or to another location, and serves pages from that folder.
For more information, see Testing Web Pages in Visual Studio.
Deploying Local IIS Web Site Projects
Local IIS Web site projects are generally used only for development, so that individual developers can create and test ASP.NET Web pages on their own computers. In most cases, you must deploy the files to a production server that is running IIS. For information about how to deploy Web site projects, see Web Deployment Content Map for Visual Studio and ASP.NET.

Do You Remember - Bunny Hoppin'
Posted by Chic Aeon in Do You Remember on Wednesday, April 4, 2012
Along the way I found this prize from Little Heaven from the first Bunny Hop hunt (March 2009). Hunts weren't all that ever-present back then so having a hunt to go to was an event. Little Heaven was one of the first stops on the tour and their prize included this bunny outfit. LOTS of gals donned the ears and tail and hip baring lingerie to roam the grid looking for vendor prizes (they MUST have been eggs but I don't remember that part).
Easter Town 2012 which is a bright and fun spot. Getting photos was tricky though; lots of folks. Lots of NEW folks. This one guy kept following me around, very in my face - literally. I told him that I was busy with photos and had no time to chat. He didn't go away so I derendered him and went on with my shoot. On returning from my graphics software I found myself at the bottom of the lake. Now that is just rude!
Happily I am usually in more peaceful surroundings and I do understand how a scantily clad gal with rabbit ears might seem enticing, at least when you are new to SL. After a few weeks, she's just another avatar wandering the grid *wink*.

The book of Mathew belongs to the gospel genre. The book was written by Mathew, he was a Levi. The book talks about Jesus Christ, his parents, his twelve prophets, the story of john the Baptist, leaders like Pilate and religious leaders like the Pharisees. This is the first book in the New Testament to talk about Jesus Christ the son of God. The book goes beyond the birth of Jesus Christ and brings out the prophecies made all the way from the time of Abraham. After the birth of Jesus, the book gives a detailed life history of Jesus Christ , his baptism, sermon on the mountain, his miracles and teachings , last supper, Judas the betrayer and finally his death. It's from this book that we learn that the death of Jesus Christ was meant for forgiveness of sins. His burial and resurrection from the dead have also been noted. (Nelsonword, Thomas Nelson Publisher, 1993)
The book of Acts in the New Testament belongs to the narrative genre. This book is a continuation of the gospel of Luke. It is based on the story of the early church and the aftermath of Jesus martyrdom. Luke is believed to be the author of the book of acts. This book is credited to be a narrative as it relays the history of the early churches. The book begins with the administration of charge to the twelve disciples to spread the gospel. Peter serves as their leader and Judas Iscariot is replaced by Mathias. After the resurrection, the disciples are filled with the Holy Spirit and peter delivers a sermon. The disciples face a lot of challenges and oppositions throughout their preaching mission but they keep on pushing strong. The book focuses on the split of the church into Hellenists and Hebrews. The death of Stephen as the first martyr, conversion of Saul the persecutor, Paul's and Barnabas missions are other contents in the book. (Nelsonword, Thomas Nelson Publisher, 1993)

The book of Ephesians belongs to the epistle genre. Epistle is a letter sent to a person or group of people. The book of Ephesians is a letter written to Ephesians by Apostle Paul while was still in prison. Paul and Tychius are the main characters in the book. The book was written in order to encourage the believers. Apostle Paul states that truths and blessings are unity of believers possessed by all the believers. He also writes that salvation is by God's grace through faith and that deliverance from the bondage of sins can only be redeemed by the God's blood and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Paul reminds all the believers to always act as per to God's commands. All believers are reminded to live as servants of Jesus Christ. The letter also touches on marriage where all husbands and wives are asked to observe marriage vows. Lastly, Paul urges all the believers to take prayers as a Christian's tool. (Nelsonword, Thomas Nelson Publisher, 1993)
Apocalyptic books in the New Testament contain prophetic writings. The book of Revelation belongs to the apocalyptic genre. The book brings out John as the spirit of the Lord where he hears a commanding voice and writes its down and sends it to the churches. Some of the visions that he sees are the seven candlesticks and the son of Man, four creatures covered with eyes in front and back, a scroll with seven seals, seven angels with seven trumpets, a sign of women clothed with the sun with moon under their feet and a crown of seven stars on her head, a beast emerging from the sea with ten horns, seven heads with diadems and blasphemous names, a number standing for a man which is six hundred and sixty six, the lamp with 144,000 faithful, scarlet beast containing Babylon as a harlot, the falling of John at the feet of a great angel who orders him to worship God alone and the chaining of the dragon for thousand years.

One of Nigeria's most iconic coaches, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, passed away at 54 years of age this morning after a cardiac arrest as announced by his family.
His brother, Emmanuel Ado, confirmed the story to the press in a statement saying,
"With thanksgiving to God, the Ogbuenyi Frederick Keshi family of Illah in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State, announces the death of Mr. Stephen Okechukwu Chinedu Kesh.
Our son, brother, father, father-in-law, brother-in-law, has gone to be with his wife of 35 years (Nkem ), Mrs. Kate Keshi, who passed on on the 9th December 2015.
Since her death, Keshi has been in mourning. He came back to Nigeria to be with her. He had planned to fly back today Wednesday, before he suffered a cardiac arrest. He has found rest."
Ademola Olajire, an Assistant Director of Communications in the Nigeria Football Federation, added that Keshi died after he was rushed to an hospital in Benin after complaining of his legs. He said that Keshi had problems with his legs and that he could not stand for long.
Stephen Keshi is survived by 4 children.
Stephen Keshi played for Nigeria as a defender for 9 years starting from 1981 t0 1995 before eventually managing the senior team in 2011. His tenure as coach was a rough one fraught with disagreements with the Nigerian Football Federation. This led to his eventual departure in late 2015.
Former Nigeria Captain and Coach, Stephen Keshi, is dead. Reports say the legend died in the early hours of Wednesday, RIP Big Boss.

Importance of forest is indispensable as they are lungs to the whole world.
They are the regions with a dense growth of trees and plants. Hence, they have a natural environment with many animals living in them. The forests help in
- Bringing Rainfall
- Preventing soil erosion
- Minimize the effect of natural calamities.
- Decrease in pollution
- Provide food materials
- Source of medicine
- Natural resources like wood
- Vacation and pleasure trips
- Shelter for wild animals
- Scientific research.
Previously the whole of the land mass was occupied by forests.
But now one can see forests mostly in movies. There is widespread deforestation in the name of development.
More and more of the forest land is converted into agriculture land by the governments.
But the importance of forest is recognized recently due to the rise in the global temperatures.
Even the seasonal and climatic variations are also due to the excess deforestation.
Hence, we need to conserve forests to save the environment for future generations.
Importance of forest in Points
1. They Bring Rainfall: Forests are responsible for rains on the land. Due to forests, the clouds get cooled and convert to rainwater. So one can notice heavy rainfall in the areas of forests and around. Forests slower the monsoon currents (winds) and let the clouds move slower over land.
They help cool the temperature to convert water vapor in the clouds to water droplets and cause rain.Hence there are no rains in the deserts.
2. Prevent Soil erosion: Soil erosion is an everyday natural activity happening due to winds and floods. Growing forests help minimize this soil erosion in the nearby farms. The importance of soil is too much that we cannot afford to lose the fertile top layers. This top layer of soil is essential to grow crops and trees.
Soil erosion can happen by rainstorms in short duration in a noticeable way. But it also occurs by the mild wind storms over a long duration with more significant effects. Presence of forests can slow down the winds and minimize this effect.
3. Reduce the effect of natural calamities: In the case of natural disasters like the tsunami, floods, hurricanes, cyclonic winds. Presence of abundant forests helps us minimize the effects of these disasters. Hence when there are tsunamis, the areas with more trees at the shore have less damage. Further, healthy forests are necessary to combat global warming
4. Home for animals (Ecosystem):
Forests are some of the safest and comfortable home providing habitats for animals and birds. Many animals, birds can dwell peacefully without the threat of extinction in woods as it is a natural home for them.
They even find sufficient food for the day and live together with their herds or groups. Forests are heaven for animals nowadays as they do not find them.
5. Minimize the pollution: Presence of forests nearby can reduce air, sound and even thermal pollution. Forest have many plants and trees which minimize pollution. The wind on the earth moves from one place to another and reduces the concentration of harmful gases. Similarly, gas and air pollution diffuses all over the air and get less severe. Presence of forest nearby helps to absorb these pollutants like carbon dioxide from the air by the trees. Hence, forests have environmental benefits too.
6. Economic importance: Forest provides many resources which have significant economic benefits. Few countries economy depends mostly on forest products. Forests cover a wide range of natural resources which are of excellent value for money.
For example, the red sandalwood from the jungles is of immense value. Based on this the governments are planning to capitalize on the sale of the wood. Similarly, in other countries, the presence of rain forests attract a lot of tourists.
Some of the notable examples of reserves with economic importance are
7. Medicine: Many plant drugs like cinchona, cinnamon, eucalyptus, etc. are grown in the forest.
The smaller medicinal plants are grown by farming. But drugs like cinchona available from large trees are available from forests alone. The medicines procured by this method are mostly, alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, etc. Besides one can also get essential oils.
8. Wood for Furniture: Forests are the sole reserve for best woods needed for wood products. There are many kinds of woods for different purposes like insect repellent ones (neem), red sandal, teak, etc.
Honey: This is a sugary liquid produced by honey bees after consuming nectar from flowers. It is widely used in medicine, ice-creams, sweets and other confectionery. It is mostly obtained by cultivation using honey bees in controlled boxes. But honey from the wild forest has its taste and strength than the farmer made one.
9. Insect Wax: Lac insect produces this. They are found in forests, and the lac isolated is used for cosmetics and also a dye.
10. Tourism/Picnic spots/leisure:
Nowadays many forests are exploited as picnic spots. Though this may be disturbing to the native animals and people, still the governments encourage it for tourism revenue. There are various picnic and holiday packages offered to spend time amid forests.
Scientific research: Forests also provide huge chances for scientific studies and research. Many scientists spend time in forests to study the effect of circadian rhythm, animal behaviors, the effect of seasons, etc.
Thus benefits of forests reach millions of people all over the world.

1. Hot Tools 1.5 inch Curling Iron - I have the 1 inch curling iron, but to get the big beachy waves for summer, I'm coveting one of these beauties. Hot Tools products get hot quick, stay hot and are reliable. Love, love them + they won't break the bank like some styling tools, and if you like a deal Ulta always has one to offer. I got my 1 inch curling iron free with a new blow dryer.
2. Toms Ballet Flats - I wear my Toms everywhere, and I am lusting after these adorable Toms ballet flats for the spring. They come in so many vibrant colors and patterns. They're comfortable, durable and what's not to love about one-for-one?!
3. Mirror Garland - I've been searching for banners and decorations on Etsy for an engagement shower we're throwing for two of our friends in May, and came across this beautiful mirror garland. I can just picture it over a mantle or hanging in a guest room bed as a headboard substitue.
4. Luxe Shine Wallpaper - We have a standard Ikea black bookcase in our bedroom, and I've been trying to figure out what to do to make it "less black". I think this wallpaper from Anthropologie just might do the trick! Anthropologie has stunning wallpapers from floral to polka-dots. Check out their selection!
5. Rugged Glint Drop Earrings - My friend Ms. Parker was rocking some rugged stone earrings this weekend, and I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Again, another Anthropologie find, these pastel purple earrings would be perfect for a pop of spring with all the warm weather we're having.

Fun Android experience of the day: Trying to set up a user on my phone for work, it literally would not let me complete setup without activating Google Assistant. And since my company's device admin disabled that... I had to register a new, separate account for it.

All of a sudden, "women of a certain age" are hot.
This, perhaps more than any other phenomenon I have witnessed in my 44 years to date, showcases that fashion trends are just that…..trends.
They are literally meaningless until the masses (aka us) give them meaning.
If no one pays attention, the trend doesn't catch on, and the fashion industry moves on to something else, hoping for a better response.
Somehow, when 14 year-old British model Twiggy was first introduced to us masses in the 1960's, her look caught on, especially amongst other kids her age, who could see themselves in her somewhat androgynous, boyish appearance.
This ushered in the "age of thin," which has persisted to this day (although recent fashion trends of a different sort are beginning to signal a shift here as well).
But now, all of a sudden (or for at least a year or two back as the fashion industry has been planning for its own future trends) we see Helen Mirren, age 69, as the face of L'Oreal Cosmetics in the U.K.
Jessica Lange, age 66, is representing Marc Jacobs.
Joan Didion, age 80, models for Celine fashions.
Joni Mitchell, age 71, is posing for Yves Saint Laurent.
There are plenty more examples where these five ladies came from.
But perhaps my favorite of them all is 93 year-old Iris Apfel, subject of an upcoming documentary and style trendsetter for most of her 9 decades to date.
She has worked in design for nine U.S. presidents, been the subject of a New York Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit, and even a visiting professor to my alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin (this she did at age 90).
About age, Apfel says,
In America, everybody wants to look young, young, young, young. I never think about age. I can't believe I'm the age I am – it's just a number. It's a false thing. I mean, you just go with the flow. If God is good to you and gives you more years, then that's wonderful. I'm glad I'm not young anymore.
About style, Apfel states,
The greatest faux pas is looking in the mirror and seeing somebody else.
She is right. I know this because I am still getting to know the whole person behind the face I see when I look in the mirror.
Yet happily, whether I am dressed to the nines (almost never) or in "tortoise play time on the lawn" sweats (almost always), I can always happily identify the mirror's reflected image as "me."
Today's Takeaway: If someone came to you – a brand, a film maker, a photographer, and wanted to feature you in their work, who would they be featuring? Would you feel totally comfortable in your own skin, with your own inner perspective and sense of personal style? Would you care what you were wearing or if you had makeup or jewelry on? What message would you hope to convey in your "15 minutes of fame" about age, life, love, and what matters most?

I decided today to move my current account away from Mastercard in protest at its decision to stop dealing with Wikileaks. Reportedly, Mastercard was pressured by the US Administration, as was Amazon and others to cut ties with Wikileaks, despite no evidence it had broken any law in any jurisdiction.
I think it is outrageous that administrators of a constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, one that has been so loudly celebrating Nobel Laureate Liu Xianbin's 'leaking' of Chinese 'secrets', should abandon its principles as soon as its own secrets begin to be revealed. Voltaire said it all and we cease to protect those principles of free speech at our peril.
As we are so often urged to, but rarely do, I am thinking globally and acting locally.

Happy Christmas Stafford (whose conscience never sleeps). Hope you have a good day and week. SteveReplyDelete
Good for you, Stafford. Recently, I watched a documentary made by John Pilger 'The War You Don't See'. It was compelling. Julian Assange was a contributor. Some of the revelations made me weep, literally. I always knew the world was a crazy place, but...ReplyDelete
Me thinks you don't DO Christmas.
Would that be right?
I do it for the pressies.
And the food.
And the drinking.
Oh yeah ... and for the company.
Every bit the opportunist.
Damn - I got my first ever Mastercard this year.
Must I get rid of it now?
i remember when i got my first credit card and my dad's advice to me was, "get the scissors and cut it up". he's pretty much still strictly cash based, and not paying interest to spend his own money. damn he's smart.ReplyDelete
merry christmas.

it is a good thing to do though my self I didn't bather. if i would abandon every company that do things against my concious i would not be able to enter any store.ReplyDelete
on the other hand - maybe i should do that.
any way,
i came in to wish a happy holy days
and a merry new year.
Enjoy your warm weather. And I'm so glad to see on your profile that you like Bach! I hope the New Year brings you many good things.ReplyDelete
Although my sympathies are firmly with Assange I feel that it's a great pity, Stafford, to surrender your MasterCard. Everytime you conduct a transaction there's an associated frisson, a surge of consequence.ReplyDelete
"Yes, retail minion, behold and quake! I am your Master!"
Smart responsible man you are! Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
good luck on your new efforts.ReplyDelete

I have only two words for you, Stafford. You Rule. A man after my own heart. Actually, that was about ten words but my brain is addled from too much Christmas ham (organic and free range, of course.) And you still rule!!ReplyDelete
What do you expect, Stafford, of an administration that still permits the State Murder of it's own citizens?ReplyDelete
Hi Stafford, and a Very Happy New Year. Thanks for your recent comments on my . . .er . . . er . . . what's the word for it . . . ah, yes POETRY!ReplyDelete
You said you were thinking about a blogpost on capital punishment. I made an ironic comment on State Murder in a Poetry Bus response a little while ago, which you can find HERE.

I'm 43 years old and have been flying since the age of 6 (1978) around the Coventry and Leics area. I taught a 63yr old to fly when I was 11yrs old, and flew consistently until university each Sunday with my dad. After a break due to uni and getting married I returned to the hobby at 29yrs old and since then have been a member of 3 or 4 clubs. I now live in the northwest, and fly regularly. I fly all manner of aircraft including helicopters from indoor micro to 30-50cc petrol models, electric and IC. I am B cert fixed wing and Very competent with helis and I still teach.
It has always been a shared interest with dad and a great glue which keeps us close. He has always been an innovator and early adopter and has modelled all his life. I enjoy the hobby a great deal but have never enjoyed beaurocracy and over zealous rules.
It is a hobby and to be enjoyed

*Another first for the Corvette Z06 is the new Performance Data Recorder:
Performance Data Recorder
The award-winning, industry-first Performance Data Recorder – or PDR – enables users to record high-definition video, with telemetry overlays, of their driving experiences on and off the track. It was developed with Cosworth, the motorsports-engineering company that supplies the Corvette Racing team's data acquisition and telemetry electronics system.
The PDR system includes three major components, all seamlessly integrated into the Corvette Z06's interior. First is a high-definition camera, mounted within the windshield header trim, which records the driver's point-of-view through the windshield. Audio is recorded via a dedicated microphone in the cabin.
Second is a self-contained telemetry recorder, which uses a dedicated GPS receiver that operates at 5 hertz, or cycles per second – five times faster than the in-dash navigation system, which allows more precise positioning and corner traces. Finally, the system features a dedicated SD-card slot in the glove box for recording and transferring video and vehicle data. Recording time depends on the capacity of the memory card, but an 8-gigabyte card can record approximately 200 minutes, while a 32-GB card stores up to about 800 minutes – more than 13 hours of driving time.
The PDR system can record video with three data overlay options, each rendered in real time:
Track Mode – shows the maximum level of data on the screen, including speed, rpm, g-force, a location-based map, lap time and more.
Sport Mode – shows fewer details on the overlay but includes key data including speed and g-force
Touring Mode – simply records and displays video and audio of the drive with no data overlay
Performance Mode – records performance metrics, such as 0 to 60 mph acceleration, 1/4-mile speed and elapsed time, and 0-100-0 mph runs.
The video can be viewed on the Corvette Z06's eight-inch color touchscreen when the car is parked, or downloaded to a computer for further editing, and sharing video via social media sites. For users who want a more in-depth understanding of their performance, the PDR vehicle data can be opened in the included "Cosworth Toolbox" software, which combines Cosworth's professional-level motorsport data analysis with an easy-to-use graphic interface. (*source GM Media)
You can easily see this is state-of-the-art technology packed into the Z06. For the first time in Corvette history racing technology is available in your new Corvette Z06.
If that was not enough what about available 4G LTE Wi-Fi in your Corvette. With Chevrolet MyLink your infotainment system will have you jamming to your favorite tunes, surfing the web (stopped of course) all from a super car that most certainly will become legend.
For rag top fans the Z06 will have an electric top with a key fob capable of lowering the top. Very cool to impress the most staunch car aficionado! In case that is not cool enough how about raising or lowering her top at up to 30 MPH. This will be the first convertible Z05 since 1963.
How about her stance. The Z06 will have a wider rear stance than her Stingray counterparts. She will need it delivering 650 hp…
**All-aluminum, high-tech foundation
The Corvette Z06 Convertible represents the culmination of more than four years developing an all-new, all-aluminum structure for the seventh generation Corvette. That structure, built at General Motors' Bowling Green Assembly plant, was designed to the specifications of the Corvette Stingray, Corvette Z06 and the Corvette Racing C7.R.
"We wanted a frame that was lighter than the steel frame of the previous Corvette, yet strong enough for both a 600-horsepower convertible and a 24-hour endurance racer," said Ed Moss, engineering group manager for Corvette structures. "That would not have been possible without improvements in computer-aided engineering software, which allowed us to model more than 17,000 frame iterations, with each iteration improving strength and stiffness, while reducing mass."
The team used nearly 186,000 computational hours of modeling to develop the frame. It features main rails composed of five customized aluminum segments, including aluminum extrusions at each end, a center main rail section and hollow-cast nodes at the suspension interface points. The gauge of each segment varies in thickness from 2mm to 11mm, tailored – along with the shape – to meet the strength and stiffness requirements for each frame section with minimal weight.
These components are assembled using many advanced manufacturing processes, including:
439 spot-welds using a GM-patented process that uses a unique electrode designed specifically for aluminum
188 Flowdrill-machined fasteners installed by a high-speed drill that extrudes the frame material to create a strong, integral collar tapped for bolt-on fasteners
113 feet of structural adhesives used in conjunction with welding and fasteners to increase overall frame stiffness
37 feet of laser welds, which join frame sections via a precise beam of high energy that minimizes heat beyond the weld area for improved structural accuracy.
The only structural differences between the Z06 Coupe and Convertible are provisions for mounting the power-folding top, and repositioned safety-belt mounts. (**Source GM Media)
This is way cool bonus:
Official Corvette driving school
Take full advantage of your new Z06 through an exclusive program at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada. You'll learn techniques to sharpen your driving skills, including mind-speed processing that helps overall coordination. This program is available for the first purchaser or lessee of a new 2015 Corvette only.
This paints a pretty remarkable picture of what Corvette Z06 customers can expect. For car enthusiasts that act now, ownership of the all new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will assure your place in automotive history. This car is destine for the record books in every way.

Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed that Earth's nearest known rocky exoplanet neighbor is HD 219134b at just 21 light-years away.
"Most of the known planets are hundreds of light-years away. This one is practically a next-door neighbor," said astronomer and study co-author Lars A. Buchhave of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
The super-Earth is too close to its star, HD 21913, to sustain life which it orbits around in three days. Scientists believe the hot planet's rocky surface may be partially molten with possible volcanic activity.
First spotted by the HARPS-North instrument, HD 219134b is 1.6 times bigger than Earth with a mass 4.5 times greater than our planet.
The alien planet's star is visible to the naked eye and lies in the Cassiopeia constellation, near the North Star. There are two more super-Earths and a gas giant in the same star system.
While HD 219134b is the closest rocky neighbor, the nearest known exoplanet is actually a body with an unknown composition 14.8 light-years away called GJ674b.
"Thanks to NASA's Kepler mission, we know super-Earths are ubiquitous in our galaxy, but we still know very little about them," lead scientist for the Spitzer detection of the transit Michael Gillon said. "Now we have a local specimen to study in greater detail. It can be considered a kind of Rosetta Stone for the study of super-Earths."
NASA's Kepler mission has found 1.013 confirmed exoplanets in about 440 stellar systems, along with more than 4,000 unconfirmed planet candidates.
Several of those are confirmed to orbit within habitable "Goldilocks" zones of their respective stars, the region around a star that makes it just right for life to potentially exist on a planet.
NASA's Kepler mission recently announced the discovery of an exoplanet called Kepler-452b, the closest match to Earth yet.
Astronomers calculate that there could be billions of Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like and red dwarf stars within our galaxy.

Why Are Offline Pokies a Thing of the Past?
The age of technology has the upper hand in our society. Today, we can do almost everything online, starting with ordering Chinese food to eat while you watch Netflix and chill all evening and ending with attending online courses to improve your professional skills. It means that our life is mainly concentrated in the World Wide Web, and casinos are no exception to this rule. Playing pokies online is a completely new trend. However, these types of progressive pokies are already taking over casino audiences. We strongly believe that pokies will absolutely get a win against traditional offline slots. First, online slot machines relieve you from the necessity of spending your time, effort, and probably petrol to get to a real casino. In addition to that, you might not appreciate crowded places with a lot of noise and fuss. It is much more comfortable to gamble at home with a cup of tea while sitting on your couch, enjoying the silence and coziness of your private space. Secondly, classical offline slots are going out of date. Their principle of work is not that reliable, and in this case, luck really seldom favours you. To play online means to be sure that you rely on modern and safe technologies. The way our games function has been developed in the way to guarantee the best quality, which is highly valued by experienced players and freshmen. One gets not only fun and profits but also free spin bonuses and a chance at real jackpots.
How Did Online Pokies Emerge?
As we have already mentioned, playing pokies online is a comparatively new phenomenon. They appeared in the mid- 1990s as soon as land-based casinos started turning into online platforms. In the beginning, playing pokies was characterized by a really small number of storylines and poor graphics and design. But it should be noted that the sphere of online slots improved really quickly over a period of time. Animation and 3D were worked into the games, and implementers invented different bonus rounds and network sites in order to connect them all together to create enormous jackpots. At the same time, online platforms benefitted from an almost completely unrestricted space. They had to keep offering old-style games while also making up new games for their players. Nowadays, pokies are known to be nearly the most popular casino activity. The variety of storylines, plots, and outstanding design just strikes the imagination. Of course, the pokies industry never stops, and they proceed on working out new techniques and decisions for slot fans. In the near future, it is promised that players will be able to control the limits of their loss, which is also convenient for gamblers. It is a so-called optional «pre-commitment» method. One thing that one may not have any doubts about is that slots will never stop conquering the sympathy and support of the gambling community.
The Emergence of Casinos in Australia
Australia has always been a country where people are keen on gambling. Some people play for fun, but a lot of people prefer playing for real money. The number of gambling games was unknown. Speaking of casinos, in particular, it should be mentioned that the first casino in Australia that opened legally appeared, in 1973, in Tasmania after a few months of fighting for a license and permissions. In fact, all popular European casino games made their way directly to Australia. That's why in Australia, roulette and blackjack were also very common. Even though one can easily name a few Australian politicians, who were definitely against the gambling tradition in the country, still, betting included not only casino games such as slots and but also other staking entertainments such as poker or sports betting. Today, there are approximately a dozen casinos in the country which are located across several states and territories. In some parts of Australia, unique legislation for gambling exists. This rule is fair both for land-based and gambling sites. It means that in some parts of the country, betting is much more popular than in others. If we touch on online staking, there is even the Interactive Gaming Act, adopted in 2001. According to this document, the activity of online gamblers is not criminalized, but it is aimed at controlling and protecting Australian online platforms and their users. It seems that in Australia, the authorities admit to the status of online casinos among modern society and prefer not to prohibit one of the people's favourite ways of spending their free time and money but just work to keep it under control.
Why Playing Online Pokies Better Than Offline?
We have already mentioned that when you play pokies online, it is much more comfortable in the aspect of logistics and calmer atmosphere. But are there any additional advantages? We can easily name a few more. In fact, it's no secret that the multiplicity of games offered is obviously wider than at land-located casinos. Have you tried checking out the list of slots at Gunsbet? It's even hard to believe that there can be many opportunities for passionate gamblers. Needless to say, the originality and uniqueness of every game absolutely beat the ones you can find at regular casinos. They are all slots for real money, online ones are just of greater quality. When playing online, you will discover that you have a possibility to use more bonuses offered as well as try your luck to win the more progressive jackpot, and your chances will for sure be higher. On top of that, online platforms let you control your limits, deposits, and other things. So, gambling becomes just a way to enjoy the process and not suffer from an uncontrolled desire to bet more than you can afford. Solving problems is also easier on the web. At Gunsbet, we have a very helpful and reliable support team that is available 24/7. Our specialists are always ready to fix all the inconveniences you might face. Here, one more advantage appears.

Super Boy Competitors Wei Yining and Liu Junyu With Their Many Similarities
I don't know about you, but good singers can sing the hell out of a song and instill a flame in the heart that makes me want to listen to it over and over again. What makes me love a singer is when he is truly into his song and the stage merges with the artist himself.
As for Wei Yining and Liu Junyu, both are acquired tastes. I didn't particularly like either even when everybody else was oohing and ahhing at their pretty boy faces. But then I heard Wei Yining sing and then Liu Junyu sing. Though these two are not the cream of the crop in terms of singing, they are sincere singers and it shows through their eyes and heartfelt emotions. And then Wei Yining covers the classic Romance in the Rain's ending song… Oh my heart. LOL, but seriously, just that song immediately throws me into the romantic setting of Romance in the Rain.
So if you read til here, you might be wondering, what is so similar about these two? Let me tell you something interesting:
- they have both performed "Those Years" which is the theme song from You Are the Apple of My Eye, in fact, Liu even released a Cantonese single of said song before this year's Super Boy competition!
- both were eliminated from the national round where the 66 singers compete for 20 spots (but are both participating in YY's FuHuo 'Revival' which might bring them back in time for the top 5 competition; if you have a lot of fans/supporters, this should be a piece of cake…well maybe)
- both are fan favorites – something that stems from the fact that they're pretty nice eye candy. Liu's face looks like Chen Kun in his younger days. Wei's face reminds me a lot of Jumei cosmetics CEO Chen Ou.
Tune in tomorrow for the official list on who our TOP 20 Finalists are – and who I predict will be in the top 10.

01.10. - 02.10.2020 – University Duisburg Essen
Virtual Workshop for Young Researchers on Singular foliations and related subject
Alfonso Garmendia, Leonid Ryvkin
Prof. Nathalie Sinclair (Simon-Fraser-University, Canada)
To measure is at once a practical and a conceptual engagement with the world. At its most basic, measuring involves empirical encounters (broadly conceived) that allow one to assign various quantitative values to the phenomenon which is under study. But measurement is not only this material and semiotic rendering of the physical world, since it has tremendous philosophical implications for how we make qualitative sense of our world. In this talk, I will delve into the under-examined complexity of measurement as a process that entails situated corporeal mobilities of all kinds. I show how school mathematics very quickly narrows the measurable world into particular parameters, so that children are made to focus almost exclusively on numerically measur-ing extension (perimeter, length, area, volume, speed). This approach emphasises the act of 'covering' spatial objects with standardized units. What is lost in these learning exercises are the intensive, relational, and analogical aspects of measuring, which I argue are critical to the politics of dis/ability in mathematics education.
