The Ultimate Guide To The Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method, otherwise known as PIP Instant Pot Cooking.
Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method
When you hear the term Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method for the first time, you're probably wondering what on earth I am talking about!
That's because I was clueless when I first heard of the Instant Pot Pot in Pot Cooking Method too.
I was already doing Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking, but I didn't know it had a fancy name to it, it was just a way that I cooked in my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.
But every day I get asked by my readers what Pot In Pot Instant Pot Cooking Is, so I am here to day to explain Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking, so that you're no longer confused.
What Is The Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method?
Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking means cooking food in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker inside of a container. The Instant Pot is called a pot and then you're adding another pot, hence the name "Pot In Pot Cooking". It is also known for short as PIP.
Even though you would think it just refers to a POT it can be any type of container that fits inside of the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.
You might cook with:
- Glass Bottom Containers
- Ceramic Soup Mugs
- Ramekins
- Silicone Egg Poacher
- Silver Steamer Basket
- Silver Foil Containers
- Pudding Basin
And the Instant Pot PIP list goes on and on.
Quite often I don't even think of it as pot in pot cooking and more as, lets get dinner cooked in the Instant Pot. It is simply put, a fancy name for simple Instant Pot recipes that use accessories.
How To Cook With The Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method
The logistics behind Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Is Simple. So simple that you will remember this info in your head for next time you decide to try pot in pot cooking yourself.
- Pour 250ml/1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot Inner Pot
- Place your steamer shelf/trivet over the water section
- Add your PIP container on top
- Pressure cook
As long as you remember that you need a cup of water at the bottom to bring it to pressure, that the food container needs to be above the water and that it takes longer to cook, then those are the basics covered.
Why Cook With The Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method?
I love Pot In Pot Cooking in the Instant Pot. There are so many times when I do pot in pot cooking and I probably cook more with pot in pot, than I do directly in the inner pot.
Freezer Meals – It is perfect for portioned freezer meals. You can add water to the bottom and place your favourite freezer meal on top of the steamer shelf. I often reheat pasta dishes this way and love it for an alternative to the microwave.
2 Become 1 – You can also add one meal to the bottom of your Instant Pot and then another up top. Perfect for if you want to cook meat and potatoes at the same time in the Instant Pot. Or my favourite 2 in 1 of Instant Pot Meatloaf & Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes.
Under Pressure – The Instant Pot is a heavy bit of kit when it works under pressure. But some meals don't want a lot of pressure and by protecting them from the inner pot, you can cook delicate meals in the Instant Pot.
Just You – If there is just you to feed, using the PIP method is perfect for meals for one or just a small portion of rice to go with your chicken dinner.
Quick Defrost – When I am cooking a dish with a sauce, the sauce will often be from the freezer. A quick use of Pot In Pot to defrost the sauce and I am all set.
Unique – There are a lot of recipes that we would say didn't apply to the Instant Pot. Recipes that need moulds or specific accessories to make. Crème Brulee, poached eggs, egg bites and sponge pudding. These all suit pot in pot cooking.
Sauces – There are many sauces such as those with a lot of cream that are sensitive to the Instant Pot. These are perfect for a small pot in pot cooking device.
Why NOT Cook With The Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method?
There are of course lots of positives to cooking with the Instant Pot pot in pot method, but what about the negatives?
Longer to cook – This must be the worst thing about pot in pot cooking. A frozen pasta dish in the bottom of the Instant Pot will take less than 10 minutes, yet pot in pot you will be lucky if you get it done in less than 40 minutes.
Less food – in a small pot in pot, you will be lucky if there is enough food in it to feed 2 people, so if you are a family like us, it is often not ideal.
Instant Pot Pot In Pot Cooking Method Recipes
There are so many recipes that you can cook, using the Instant Pot Pot In Pot method that its hard to know where to start.
I have outlined a selection of Pot In Pot Instant Pot Recipes to get you started:
Instant Pot Egg Bites – Using the pot in pot method the egg bite moulds are rested on the steamer shelf inside of the Instant Pot as you can see below:
Instant Pot Oatmeal – Using a glass pyrex dish is a fantastic way to make oatmeal and you can mix up your bowl of oatmeal ingredients the night before and then slot them in.
Instant Pot Taco Pie – You can also fill a cake pan with a pie of your choice, cover it with silver foil and cook it in the Instant Pot. Just think of all your favourite cakes, pies, frittatas, that you would love to cook in the Instant Pot.
Instant Pot Lasagne – Using the same method of Instant Pot PIP cooking as the Taco Pie, the same food blogger shows you how to use the sling method to get the food in and out of the Instant Pot as shown below:
Instant Pot Curry & Rice – I love this Dal Tadka recipe as it shows you how you can cook the curry below and then the rice on top.
Instant Pot Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes – Or see how this lady nails cooking both the Instant Pot Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes at the same time with this kitchen gadget.

The audience at the Showbox was cold and self-conscious last night: they held their digital cameras up, but that's about all the movement the band saw from us, from the stage. He said, "I wish we could have been more together tonight. I can't even tell if there's anyone out there…you're just cameras in a dark room."
They are in their late 20s, and just as self-conscious as the rest of us. Cox has a rare genetic disorder that has left him unusually thin and spindly. They push limits with their music; several times the room swirled into a bracing cloud of feedback loops and discord. They put the cloud up there and then played other rhythms below it. I had wads of tissue in my ears, and looked around to see how the others were coping: several guys had dragged their girlfriends there, hooked by the promise of girl-friendly ballads they had warmed up to in their apartments but live, got deconstructed and trashed, in a Krautrock kind of way. I saw more than one guy cradling his girl in his arms ("there, there…everything's going to be fine"), but it wasn't.
They came out for an encore even though the audience didn't deserve it. He opened with a Scott Walker cover, and there may have been only five people there who recognized the name Scott Walker. This is one of the only artists my wife has asked me to remove from my iPod.
I felt bad for Bradford Cox and even tried to contact him today through the Internet, to apologize on behalf of Seattle. He stopped part-way into the last song to address someone off-stage who was making a noise that bothered him, and when they tried to resume the song, the moment was gone.

FT reports Tories feel they have enough backing in Parliament to push through Heathrow runway
The Financial Times says the Conservative Party Chairman, Patrick McLoughlin, has done a vote assessment, and found that there would be enough support in Parliament for a Heathrow 3rd runway. It is considered possible that the Cabinet's runway sub-committee -chaired by Theresa May – will come to a runway location decision on the 11th or the 18th October. The Cabinet would need to agree to the decision by the sub-Committee, and it would then be announced in Parliament, by Chris Grayling. There could be a Parliamentary vote soon afterwards, perhaps only be a week later. The government would not want to risk a vote on this, unless they knew they would get a majority. The FT understands that Heathrow would easily win enough votes, but there is not enough backing for a Gatwick runway. Though there is massive opposition to a Heathrow runway due to its widespread and seriously negative impacts, and therefore it is likely Theresa May would allow a free vote. It is not clear the Labour leadership would try to whip hostile MPs on the runway issue, at a time of wider party disunity, though Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are against the Heathrow runway. The FT reports that one insider cautioned it is "not a foregone conclusion" that Mrs May will back the Heathrow runway — or even that there would be a vote. An aviation executive said the prime minister "is like a sphinx on this". ie. inscrutable.
May has backing in parliament to push through Heathrow expansion
By Jim Pickard and Robert Wright (Financial Times)
Theresa May has sufficient support in parliament to drive through the contentious expansion of Heathrow airport if she decides to put it to a vote next month, according to close allies.
The government will not make a final decision about how to proceed until an aviation subcommittee — chaired by Mrs May — meets on either October 11 or 18.
But according to detailed calculations by ministers, Heathrow would win a vote with a "slam dunk" despite continuing opposition from some senior figures in the Conservative party. Patrick McLoughlin, Tory party chairman and a former transport secretary, is understood to have carried out the vote assessment.

AirportWatch note:
There is a very real problem of MPs with constituencies far from London or the south east, eagerly supporting the expansion of Heathrow. Their own constituents do not need to suffer the adverse environmental or social impacts of the expansion. They may be unaware of the extent of these.
Heathrow has spent a very large sum of money indeed, providing biased information to Chambers of Commerce, councils and MPs across the country, about the possible financial benefits they might gain from the runway. They have heard a very one-sided case. It is perhaps questionable whether MPs whose area do not stand to suffer in any way from Heathrow expansion should be at liberty to inflict the adverse effects onto others. Especially if they have been given only partial information.

Anti-Corbyn Labour backbenchers plan party vote – to back Heathrow runway
The Parliamentary Labour Party has various committees, one of which is on Transport. This is chaired by the young MP for Luton South, Gavin Shuker. The membership of this backbench committee does not appear to be publicly available. There is nothing online about the committee or its work. Mr Shuker says his committee has now produced (or is about to produce) a report that proposes Labour should back a Heathrow runway. They plan to present this report to a meeting of Labour MPs and peers, when Parliament returns after the party conferences. Mr Shuker has been critical of Jeremy Corbyn for the past year or more, and he now wants to get the Labour party to reverse his opposition to a Heathrow runway by getting a vote on the issue within the party. Gavin Shuker said the vote could be the day after the Labour meeting. As well as Jeremy Corbyn, the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, is deeply opposed to a Heathrow runway as his constituency would be badly affected by it. Mr Shuker wants the party to challenge Jeremy Corbyn on a number of policy issues. Heathrow is just one of many, and is a symptom of party disunity. On the same day, it was revealed that the Heathrow-funded and sponsored group, Back Heathrow, had asked for John McDonnell's constituency boundary to be redrawn, to exclude Heathrow – to help their case. Amazing.

Heathrow investors snub Chris Grayling's request for their funding of Heathrow Hub scheme
Some of Heathrow's leading shareholders have snubbed a request from the Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling, to back the Heathrow Hub scheme, that involves adding another runway at the western end of the northern runway. Sky News understands that big investors in FGP Topco, Heathrow's parent company, are refusing to give a written commitment to funding the rival scheme. Heathrow argues that it has not done sufficient due diligence to justify giving its backing to Heathrow Hub. Mr Grayling made the request at a meeting with the two runway promoters last month, since when further talks have been held between executives at Heathrow and Heathrow Hub. While it is understood John Holland-Kaye, Heathrow's CEO, would accept the Hub plan if he cannot get his north-west runway, the airport's leading shareholders are refusing to back it. They believe future financial returns would be lower with the Hub scheme than the NW runway scheme. Sky News has been told that Mr Holland-Kaye had been told by his shareholders that acknowledging any support for the Hub scheme would be a tactical error, at a time they believe is so close to an announcement by the Government. Both Heathrow schemes have offered cut-price versions of their proposals in a bid to convince ministers of their merits. FGP Topco's shareholders are Ferrovial (25% stake), and sovereign wealth and pension funds from Australia, Canada, China, Qatar and Singapore.

John Redwood, MP for Wokingham, says Theresa May should drop Heathrow plan
John Redwood, the Conservative MP for Wokingham about 25 km west of Heathrow and under some of its flight paths, has said that the government should drop the three very huge projects they inherited from Gordon Brown and David Cameron. ie. Hinkley, HS2 and Heathrow. Each is expensive, highly contentious, and has been much delayed by indecision, argument and opposition. John Redwood was Shadow Secretary of State for Deregulation, from May 2005 to December 2005, and Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, from June 1999 to February 2000. He believes all 3Hs should be scrapped, and there are many other good local projects that should be paid for instead. "I'm all for spending on better trains, power stations and airports, but I don't want to throw too much money at projects that are so mired in rows and costs." On Heathrow noise he says: "Unfortunately Heathrow has recently with NATS changed the routes and noise corridors, annoying many more residential areas near it. There was no proper consultation. When you want to expand you need to do better at showing you are a good and considerate neighbour." …"More capacity can be provided through Northolt, Gatwick and other London area airports. Smaller quicker schemes could alleviate the pressures."

Tania Mathias MP calls for Grayling to step in over proposed £3 billion cuts to Heathrow plan – re-consultation necessary?
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has been asked by Dr Tania Mathias MP to intervene on Heathrow's £3 billion cost-cutting proposals it announced last week. In order to cut costs, and perhaps get a runway built faster, Heathrow's Chairman Lord Deighton suggested that changes to plans would be made – though nothing has been put forward yet, but they might be in the next weeks. The cuts would mean scrapping plans to (expensively) tunnel the 14 lane M25 under the runway, and a transit rail system around the airport. Conservative MP Tania Mathias, whose Twickenham constituency is under Heathrow flight paths, said the new plan had caused local people "considerable anxiety." She has written to the Secretary of State for Transport, asking him to demand the plan goes back out to public consultation and scrutiny by the Airports Commission (though that has been disbanded). Dr Mathias also wants Chris Grayling to make public any official talks on the late changes, between the airport and government departments. Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith also wrote to Lord Deighton that the revised plan would cause Londoners "more environmental misery". The changes to the roads are not clear, and cutting cost could lead to gridlock on the busiest stretch of the M25. The DfT just said the Government "will continue to consider the commission's evidence."

Times reveals, from leaked document, members of Cabinet sub-committee on runway issue – and likely free vote in Parliament, suspending Cabinet collective responsibility
The Times says it has seen a leaked document showing the membership of the Cabinet sub-committee, the "Economy and Industrial Strategy (Airports)" sub-committee, that would make a decision on a runway. The list omits Ministers most critical of Heathrow's expansion, Boris Johnson, (Foreign Secretary, and Justine Greening, Education Secretary). But Sajid Javid (Communities Secretary), who is a Heathrow supporter, keeps his place on the sub-committee, as does Patrick McLoughlin, (Conservative Party Chairman) – who as Transport Secretary was a strong supporter of Heathrow. Theresa May herself will chair the sub-committee, (David Cameron chaired it previously). Other Ministers on the sub-committee are Philip Hammond, (Chancellor), Greg Clark, (Business and Energy Secretary), Andrea Leadsom, (Environment Secretary), David Mundell, (Scottish Secretary), and the chief whip Gavin Williamson. [The previous members were: David Cameron, George Osborne, Sajid Javid, Patrick McLoughlin, Liz Truss, David Mundell, Greg Clark, Amber Rudd, Oliver Letwin and Mark Harper.] It is not known if there will be a free vote on the issue, suspending the normal Cabinet "collective responsibility" as was suggested last week, to overcome the problem of so much opposition to Heathrow. The Times believes that the announcement might be on Tuesday18th October.

Theresa May to personally chair Cabinet sub-committee on possible new runway
The decision by the Cabinet on what to do about a new runway is to be taken by a sub-committee, named the Economic Affairs (Airports) sub-Committee. This was set up in July 2015. Its members then were David Cameron, George Osborne, Sajid Javid, Patrick McLoughlin, Liz Truss, David Mundell, Greg Clark, Amber Rudd, Cabinet Oliver Letwin and Mark Harper. At that time, MPs with possibly compromised positions, or those against a Heathrow runway, were left off it – explained by their departments not being the relevant ones for inclusion. These were Theresa May, Philip Hammond and Justine Greening. Since the arrival of Theresa May, everything has changed. It has been announced that she will personally chair the committee (Cameron chaired it before) and that its new membership will be announced shortly. The constituencies of Theresa May, Philip Hammond and Boris Johnson (PM, Chancellor and Foreign Secretary) are all intensely affected by Heathrow. Theresa May has been very guarded in her comments over the past 6 years. However in May 2010 she welcomed the cancellation of the Heathrow runway and added: "Like many local residents, I strongly welcome the cancellation of the third runway at Heathrow. Expanding Heathrow in this way would have had a detrimental effect on the Maidenhead and Twyford areas by increasing levels of noise and pollution, and today's announcement is a victory for all those who have campaigned against it."

For two centuries, the shadow of the workhous hung over Britain. The recourse of only the most desperate, the workhouse spawned dark and terrible tales of malnutrition, misery, mistreatment, mutilation and murder, which ran like wildfire through the poorer classes, who faced the terror of being forced inside the institution's towering walls.
This book containns over 400 incredible tales of fires, drownings, explosions and disasters, infamous scandals such as the Andover affair – where starving inmates resorted to eating rotting scraps of flesh left on the bones they were supposed to be pounding – and sickening tales of abuse, assault, body snatching, poisonings, post-mortems, suicides and murder. Accompanied by 70 rare and wonderful illustrations, this book will thrill, fascinate, sadden and unnerve in equal measure.

Mexicans -- Oregon -- Attitudes, Indigenous peoples -- Oregon -- Language, Language maintenance -- Oregon, Language attrition -- Oregon, Endangered languages
Minority languages around the globe are losing speakers at an unprecedented rate. As researchers attend to the documentation and maintenance of these languages, one group residing within the United States remains largely overlooked: Indigenous Mexican migrants and immigrants. Because their languages lack support in both Mexico and the U.S., Spanish and English threaten to replace them within a few generations. Focusing on communities in Oregon, this paper assesses the attitudes of community members toward their languages to determine whether there is a precedent for pursuing a language maintenance project. Ethnographic scholarship on Indigenous Mexican migrant issues indicates their established civic, social, and cultural organizations as the optimal facilitators for this work. This paper suggests frameworks for community-based development and implementation of language maintenance programs.

The fine long weekend weather is set to come to an abrupt end with heavy rain, gales and snow expected to batter the country over the next few days.
A complex weather system is forecast to cross New Zealand overnight tomorrow, bringing gale-force winds and heavy rain to much of the North Island on Tuesday and snow to low levels in parts of the South Island on Wednesday.
MetService spokesman Daniel Corbett said a storm system would push warm air and northerlies across the North Island, and a southerly front would bring bitterly cold air across the South Island.
The engine room of the system would settle over Cook Strait on Wednesday before clearing on Thursday and Friday.
The MetService has issued severe rain warnings for eastern Bay of Plenty, northern Gisborne, Buller and northwest Nelson, where 100mm or more of rain was expected.
Severe northerlies gusting to 140km/h are likely throughout much of the lower North Island including Gisborne, Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, Wanganui, Wellington and Wairarapa.
In Auckland, heavy rain and strong winds were expected later tomorrow.
"It's wet, it's windy for the likes of Auckland, and then a little bit cooler as you get into the later parts of the week," Mr Corbett said.
The heavy rain would coincide with high king tides on Tuesday evening, with a risk of coastal flooding in Auckland, Northland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
In the South Island, snow to low levels was expected overnight Tuesday, with heavy falls of up to 40cm in north Canterbury and inland Marlborough likely to make road travel difficult on Wednesday.
WeatherWatch forecaster Howard Joseph said the heaviest rain was expected in the Bay of Plenty and the East Cape, with strong winds further south.
"There's also a chance for some pretty heavy gales, possibly approaching the severe levels, for Wellington and the whole lower part of the North Island."
Mr Joseph said king tides were not expected to be a big problem.

This week I'll be joining Monica at The Homespun Heart in Making Your Home a Haven Week. I enjoyed doing this with Crystal and I'm sure this week will be a blessing too!
So for today, I did start my day out in prayer and Bible time. I am reading Ephesians right now and this morning it was chapter 5. This chapter is a favourite of mine… I'll list a few of the verses that spoke to me this morning.
2. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
19. Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
I love the verse about giving thanks for all things. We need to thank our Heavenly Father for even the littlest things! Also be followers of God, as children. We are to be like little children; they are so trusting.
1. Start new schedule
2. School
3. Tidy the washer and dryer
4. Tidy master room
5. Story time with children
6. Laundry 1 or 2 loads evening
(update, I'll have to add this to tomorrow's list)
7. Fold towels with N.
8. Tidy Kitchen
School time!
Today B. did some preschool! He was so happy to have his very own schoolbook!
The boys were my lunch helpers today.
Here they are setting the table for lunch.
The view from our kitchen window when during lunch prep.
Since I had such willing helpers, I had free time to tidy up the kitchen while lunch was cooking. My helpers also helped me with this too.
The before picture…
The after picture…

Today doing our free time, I helped S. sew herself a bag for her piano books.
She had a lot of fun and the bag turned out really sweet. I'll have to do a post about some of the things we have sewn lately.
So that was our day here. It was good to go around and tidy up areas and with our new schedule the day went really well. I'll save the details about that for another post too. I hope you all had a wonderful day making your home a haven.

Sources: BlackBerry Upping Production, Will Ship 30 to 40 Million Units in 2013
BlackBerry's journey up the comeback trail continues, with the DigiTimes reporting that the company is cranking up device production in a big way.
Though the DigiTimes isn't always the most trusted source in news, its unnamed "sources in the supply chain" are claiming that BlackBerry has increased its parts purchases and will likely ship between 30 and 40 million devices this year. The numbers are more or less believable, especially given the strong sales so far of the company's QWERTY-equipped Q10 in Europe (and pre-orders in the U.S.).
Last quarter, the company shipped roughly 1 million devices with only the Z10 hitting the market right before BlackBerry turned in its quarterly performance. Now, the company has added the Q10 and the entry-level Q5 to its arsenal, and intends to target emerging markets with the latter. Between the existing models and the likely release of more BlackBerry 10 devices in the second half of this year, there's some credence to the sources' estimate of 30 to 40 million shipped units.

Leadership is an element of many of our training courses. We believe that the development of leadership skills is a requirement for success at any trade or position. True leadership is an Art and a Science. As with any skill, it takes training and instruction to develop.A leader is a person who leads from a position of respect. Respect is gained through having an unshakable character, developing quality relationships so that they can lead others to be inspiring leaders motivating both oneself and others to reach the desired results. A true leader has a genuine respect for people and leads by serving others. They have sincere compassion and care for everyone, and seek to continuously improve themselves in their ability to make those they lead better and more autonomous.
A leader leads by serving others. A leader cares about others, about the business, and about how they treat others. A good leader nurtures their relationships – they put effort into their relationships to make them grow and develop. A leader is not influenced by what other people may think, nor by greed or pride, but by their morals, integrity, and compassion for others. A true leader is patient, kind, loving, selfless, and compassionate. Leaders are not born; they are made by a lifetime of self-sacrifice, compassion, effort, and learning. Driven by principles and guided by morals.

Femcee Remy Ma loves being the queen of petty when it comes to her makeup.
The Love & Hip Hop: New York star is famous for her music, but as of lately, she has become a spokesperson for several well-known brands and fashion designers.
The "All the Way Up" rapper recently discovered a great makeup artist who gave her the beat face of the century — perfect foundation, lipstick, and eyebrows.
Remy Ma posted a closeup of her face and explained to her millions of followers that she would be petty and not give away the name of the person behind her beautiful makeup for the following reasons: "When your beat come out fire, but you don't wanna tag the artist cuz then these ugly heaux gonna be calling her to do their mugs, Sorry Ye I don't wanna share you yet #PettyPendergrass #PettyLabelle #PettyCrocker #PettyWop #PettyDavis #RemyMa #PrettyBrownEyes #MelaninMagic COMPANY- Link In Bio."
One fan told the "Ain't Talkin About Nothin'" artist she is right to be petty and not share.
The person said: "You are so beautiful. Stay focused luv. Continued blessings.Inspired by this woman many blessings to u honey you are so beautiful.Remy Ma is under appreciated I swear y'all sleeping on her.The makeup is beautiful, but it only accentuated your natural beauty! I ultimately feel where ur coming from. You find these fantastic artist then the minute u tag them now everybody and they mama booking then so now u cannot even get her when u need her, and now u gotta find somebody else. I would be the same way. Find ur own damn makeup artist; this one is mines. Plus there is nothing in the rule book that states u gotta tag them. And anybody that don't like it gtfo her page. Str8 like that."
Another commenter wrote: "U r doing ur thing, Remy!!! God keep blessing and you still flawless! But I love you, Queen. I like the feminine look! I love the growth, but I am still here should the petty Remy decide to come out and play."
A third fan stated: "Wash off that stuff off your face take that hair that's not natural out. You are too old to try to have a baby stop trying to be he young except your old sus you cannot be like Cardi you want attention so bad just lay to rest for the record you DONT make record sales haha! Cardi is winning expect that THE BET award is her she got it in the can."
Is Remy Ma right to keep her new found makeup up artist to herself?

Final Rate Determination
The Florida Administrative Code requires that all individual and small group carriers obtain approval of their premium rates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR). In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that all weighted average rate increases in the individual and small group markets that exceed a stipulated threshold (currently 15%), must be assessed to determine if they are "reasonable". For individual and small group carriers issuing coverage in the state of Florida, the federal enforcement agency for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Health and Human Services (HHS), has delegated the authority to determine if rate increases are reasonable to the OIR.
Rate Increase Justification
This rate action is proposed for all BlueOptions, BlueSelect, BlueCare, myBlue, and SimplyBlue products that are fully compliant with the ACA.
The proposed rate action is due to the following reasons:
- Medical Inflation (Trend)
- Medical Trend: Combined effect of medical provider price increases, utilization changes, medical cost shifting, specialty pharmacy, and new medical procedures and technology.
- Insurance Trend: Impact of leveraging on plans with fixed dollar cost shares.
- Prospective changes to covered benefits
- Adjustment to account for prospective changes in benefits to cover Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy
- Risk Adjustment Transfer
- Changes in 2020 to the CMS Risk Adjustment coefficients
- Taxes and Fees
- Reintroduction of the Health Insurance Providers Fee for 2020
- Reduction of the Exchange User Fee
- Increase in the Risk Adjustment User Fee

It's not every birthday that I get to spend in a hot tub – scratch that..I've never spent any of my January birthdays in any water of any sort before this year. Last weekend I celebrated my birthday and to eliminate any possibility of my feeling sad about getting older, I made sure to celebrate in the best possible way – a glorious, glorious weekend with the hubby at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Malta.
I love hotels, it's a good thing I guess considering how much I travel lately. The downside is usually lack of space but space was definitely not an issue last weekend. My room was quite frankly huge – I had a corner room with a huge double bed, a massive bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub, a nice big sofa and tv area and a beautiful corner terrace with deck chairs and a hot tub. On the last day, I kept asking for later and later checkouts, probably hoping they'd just tell me I could move in.
So what did I get up to? I checked in on Friday at about 5, immediately a birthday gift arrived from the hotel – a chocolate sculpture and a bottle of champagne. It really felt like such a shame to destroy the work-of-art by eating it but chocolate is chocolate and dig in I did.
Next on the birthday agenda was dinner at the Radisson's restaurant Le Bistro with my family. I wore a new pair of culottes I had been saving for when I wanted to feel extra special. I really enjoyed all my meal but the best part was the Gucci cake they surprised me with at the end of the night.
Next day, it was actually a bit hard to wake up – I felt so relaxed and happy. I don't often relax properly but when I do I realise just how much I needed it. I woke up because the hubby wanted breakfast, hotel breakfasts are so much fun although I always get confused and end up taking too many things on my plate and not managing to eat them all.
Thankyou Radisson for taking such good care of me and for making me feel really happy on my birthday.

I was really torn this morning about subject matter. Do I write about Midget Mexican Bullfighters which are apparently all the rage down Old Mexico way? Do I write about the article that appeared in the Houston Chronicle this past weekend about oilfield gate guarding?
Dang it! Decisions decisions! On the one hand I know y'all are as curious about teeny toreadors as I am – talk about something you don't see every day! On the other hand, a goodly bunch of readers probably don't care spit about the mini-me matadors. Good enough. Call up your Google-Fu if you wanna know more about something better suited for the Springer Show.
Over the weekend, the Houston Chronicle ran a reasonably accurate piece about the Department of Labor suing Gate Guard Services over the status of their oil field gate guard employees. Are we independent contractors or not?
I have been self-employed many times since I entered the workforce long about 1970. This latest stint of self employment started almost 10 years ago and I gotta say it suits me. I prefer to go my own way and so does Miss K. We like to stay out of the focus as much as we can. Nah, we aren't felons who robbed a 7-11 with underwear on our heads or anything i.e. we are not running from the law. We did pass that govmint background test to get this gate guard gig, remember? Some people just enjoy more of a degree of anonymity than others. And some people think the govmint intrudes enough into our lives as it is and they just need to back off — way back. You notice how I never mention who we work for? Or that I don't have one of those little maps in the sidebar that pinpoints our location day by day? Well, there ya go. No need for it.
I am not confused about my employee status – not in the least. Know why? We were told what was expected of us by the Company and then the Company told us what our compensation for said duties would be. They told us what equipment they supplied and what we would need to provide. They told us if we met their expectations, they would send us a paycheck every two weeks. You do XYZ work, we pay you XX dollars. Very simple, very straightforward. Even a midget mexican matador could understand it; a 12 year old could understand it.
At the end of all the back and forth talking, the paperwork came out and one of the pieces of paper we signed was the agreement that we understood we would be independent contractors. Yep crystal clear. It was explained simply and succinctly and we agreed to it. I enjoy the independent contractor status. The landowner or the Company Man for EOG tells me what our duties are. Nobody tells us how to split up our hours to cover the gate properly and nobody tells me what I can or cannot do when I am not standing on the line checking a vehicle in or out. Now word is the lawsuit was initiated by a disgruntled former employee and I buy that completely. There are at least two stories circulating as to why they are disgruntled. I am not even going to repeat hearsay.
This disgruntled employee most likely signed paperwork that was quite similar to what we signed. Most likely, they were told what the expectations of the job were and what the pay scale was. If the disgruntled employee didn't like the situation after a period of time, they were free to move on. They were not indentured and their RV was not chained to a post for damned sure. Just move on bud. You are making us all look bad.
I hate to think what will happen if we become employees? If Gate Guard Services loses, I imagine the rest of the gate guard companies will fall in line as well. Their employee costs will go up for sure. What will they cut to offset the increased cost of labor? What freedom to work as we wish will be lost? I hate to even think about the answers to those questions. One of the companies that has already caved in to the Department of Labor and now classifies you as an employee requires a work contract these days and I do believe it is for 90 days at least. When people ask me what I like about the oil field gate guarding job, one of the things I always tell them is we have the ability to work when we want to. If I just want to work in the winter ala the snowbirds, that is cool. If I want to take 3 weeks off and ramble out toward Terlingua that is okey dokey as well. This lawsuit is just screwing up a good thing as far as I am concerned.
Any of you oilfield gate guard vets see anything wrong with the above picture? It is the picture that accompanied the Houston Chronicle story. I see plenty wrong with it.
It is a news crew / reporter. They never pass through the gates without specific permission.
They have a camera. Nobody comes in the gate and wanders around the property with a camera without permission.
Whoever this gate guards is ( or maybe was at this point), they were NOT doing their job. Period. Not gonna happen on our watch.

Secretary General's Update (July 2019)
July has been an incredibly exciting month and I'm excited to share key headlines from our work in this period!
Progressing our efforts on civil society resourcing reforms
Since the start of this year, we have had the privilege to hear from activists, organisers, young leaders and progressive funders from around the world on the resourcing challenges faced by civil society – and to understand how bold ideas and creative solutions can help address these barriers. A remarkably resourceful report summarising these insights is now available online. Aptly titled 'Shifting Power to Grassroots Movements', this practical guide on how grassroots groups and activists based in the global south can mobilise support to overcome civic space challenges and achieve positive change is an important step forward in the reforms we need to enable greater civil society resourcing. Your ideas on how we can activate the alternatives proposed in this report are eagerly awaited!
Launching a new, interactive platform on Diversity & Inclusion
In an equally exciting move, our newest networking initiative - The Diversity & Inclusion Group for Networking and Action (DIGNA) - was launched on 10 July. The group is a safe space for members to support each other to improve organisational structures and processes for diversity and inclusion and has already connected over 600 thought leaders and change makers in its first few weeks! If you haven't already, do join the conversation and help us advance the transformative outcomes that DIGNA wants to achieve, which includes ensuring a sustained discourse on diversity in civil society organisations, enabling the exchange of tools and resources to increase workplace inclusion and creating a dynamic channel for the learning and collaboration that can help us all achieve high standards of diversity and inclusion in our organisations.
Working with CIVICUS members to improve our response to civic space restrictions
We had at least four important opportunities to engage CIVICUS members in analysing and proposing improved approaches to how we analyse and respond to the threats faced by civil society. In Mexico, we joined members of the VUKA! coalition to co-design methodologies to counteract the demonization of civic space, civil society and human rights defenders. The interaction resulted in a campaign design that we are committed to implement alongside our allies.
In Nairobi, members and friends of CIVICUS came together to discuss how anti-rights groups are organising and being supported, what tactics they use to attack human rights and how civil society can respond to this growing threat. Participants in the dialogue attested to the real challenges they face from hard line groups closely linked to state structures and politicians. The dialogue underscored that while human rights have always been contested, what is new is that extremist and ultra-conservative groups are now working with and being sheltered by the state. Vulnerable and excluded groups, it was observed, are on the frontline of violence. They are attacked first and most frequently, and often as a prelude to attacks on civil society as a whole.
Over 20 research partners of the CIVICUS Monitor met in Accra to review progress and propose how we further improve and enhance this work. The CIVICUS Monitor is a cutting edge research tool that allows access to live updates from civil society around the world, track threats to civil society and learn about the ways in which our right to participate is being realised or challenged. Each of these organisations plays a vital role in keeping information on this platform up-to-date, accurate and grounded in local realities.
We also worked with partners to make UN Universal Periodic Review (UPR) submissions on 4 countries – Armenia, Kenya, Kuwait and Laos - in advance of the 35th UPR session. The submissions examine the state of civil society in each country, including the promotion and protection of the rights to freedom of association, peaceful assembly and expression and the environment for human rights defenders. We also provided an assessment of the States' domestic implementation of civic space recommendations received during the 2nd UPR cycle over 4 years ago and provide a number of targeted follow-up recommendations.
Amplifying local struggles at the UN High Level Political Forum
Our activities at the UN High Level Political Forum (HLPF) this year provided an important opportunity to amplify the work of grassroots activists including Yineth Balanta, the Afro-Colombian environmental defender from Colombia who highlighted the dangers faced her community at two of our events; Corlett Letlojane from HURISA who spoke at South Africa's Voluntary National Review and highlighted issues related to violence against women and other rights concerns; and 16-year old climate activist, Jerome Foster.
We also joined of the civil society delegation that met with the UN Secretary General António Guterres to present the 'Belgrade Call to Action', developed at the International Civil Society Week earlier this year. The delegation drew attention to the urgent need to address civic space challenges as part of effort to achieve the 2030 Agenda. More broadly, statistics from the CIVICUS Monitor drew attention to the status of civic space in the 47 countries participating in the HLPF through a statement urging stronger linkages between human rights and the sustainable development agenda.
Opportunities to act with CIVICUS:
- We are proud to announce the launch of our Spanish twitter channel, which is one of several steps we are taking to respond to the increasing demand for multi-lingual channels and capabilities across the Alliance! Connect with us on @CIVICUSespanol.
- The review report of the International Civil Society week (ICSW) is now available in three languages - English, Spanish and French, with acknowledgements due to the ICSW-2019 event partners and supporters whose collective efforts made the 'Power of Togetherness' possible in Belgrade earlier this year. We want to hear your reactions to the conclusions and recommendations laid out in the report, which will help us shape our strategy for the next iteration of ICSW!
- We are mid-way through our Strategic Plan period (2017-22) and will be coordinating a review process across the second half of the year! The mid-term review will serve the important purpose of reviewing how we have progressed so far and providing recommendations on the implementation of the final 2 years of our Strategic Plan. Do look out for opportunities to engage, the first being the Annual Constituency Survey which we will be initiated in August!
Please continue to share your feedback and inspirations. We look forward to hearing from you!
In solidarity,
Lysa John

Let's now move on to the
Menu_site. The
Menu_site interface contains an inner-class implementation called
Menu_site.Implementation. Normally, a class could be a menu site simply by extending this inner class, but that's not an option here because our one and only
extends relationship is already used up by the
JFrame base class. Consequently, the
Rpn class (Listing 1) implements the
Menu_site interface's methods as simple pass-throughs, which do nothing but chain through to the equivalently named methods of the
Menu_site_support object: that is,
support; see Listing 1, line 49). These pass-through methods are at the very end of Listing 1.
This way of doing things -- implementing an interface with pass-through methods that chain to methods of an implementation class -- is a common enough idiom that it ought to be an official design pattern, but as far as I know, it's as yet unnamed. You can use this mechanism to implement true multiple inheritance in Java: from the perspective of a user of
Rpn objects,
Menu_site effectively acts not as an interface but as a base class that contains an implementation.
Rpn really uses a paired interface/implementation class, however. This design pattern, then, lets you implement multiple inheritance with all the flexibility of C++, for example, without any of the potential ambiguity problems implicit in C++'s inheritance mechanism.
The Math stack
Now let's look at the classes that make up the abstraction-layer "model," starting with the
Math_stack (Listing 2). The UML version of the static model is in Figure 7. The stack is made up of an array of doubles (
stack: see Listing 2, line 51) and the stack pointer (
sp: see Listing 2, line 53).
The constructor controls the size of the array. The math engine also supports 10 registers (accessed by number), implemented by an array of doubles (
Math_stack register: see Listing 2, line 48).
The vast majority of
Math_stack's methods just implement stack-manipulation requests (push, pop, add, and so on), so they don't need further comment. The proxy maintenance is worth looking at, however. The stack must notify the proxies whenever it changes state so that they can redraw themselves. It does this by means of Swing's
ActionListener interface. The
Stack_viewer proxies (Listing 2, line 86) implement
ActionListener, and the
Math_stack object keeps a list of the proxies (the
Stack_viewers) in an
AWTEventMulticaster called
stack_proxies (Listing 2, line 58).
All of the stack-manipulation methods (such as push) finish up with a call to
update() (Listing 2, line 178), which passes an
ActionPerformed message to the multicaster, which in turn relays the message proxies. The
visual_proxy(...) method (Listing 2, line 148), when it creates the proxies, both manufactures the proxy object and adds it to the multicaster.
Stack_viewer inner class (Listing 2, line 86) is a
Scrollable_JTextArea (presented in January's Java Toolbox). In
Stack_viewer, the
actionPerformed(...) method (Listing 2, line 112) performs the only real work by redrawing and nicely formatting the text area. (The
Align class, used to align the numbers on the decimal point, was also presented in January's Java Toolbox.)
Note that the
Stack_viewer is an inner-class object, so it has direct access to the actual
stack and
sp fields in the
Math_stack outer class, and it indeed accesses these fields directly. Though such a tight coupling does violate the integrity of the outer-class object, which makes it suspect from an object-oriented perspective, all proxies are inherently tightly coupled to the objects they represent.
If you change the object, you'll have to change the proxies too. Since the coupling is inevitable, there's no point in adding complexity (additional methods) to present the illusion of decoupling. In any event, nonstatic inner classes are members of the outer class in a very real sense, so it is reasonable for them to use the access privilege available to all members. The maintenance problem inherent in this tight coupling is obviated to some extent by the fact that the two classes being declared in the same place. Consequently, when you make a change to the outer class, it's easy to find all the other affected classes -- they're all inner classes of the outer class.

It's been almost three years since our last blog on the European Succession Regulation. It seems timely to check the pulse and see what impact it is having on estate planning and administration for Canadians with European Union (EU) connections.
As a refresher, the Regulation came into effect on August 17, 2015, and applies to all European Union member states with the exception of the U.K., Ireland, and Denmark, each of which decided to opt out.
Although it is an EU regulation, it can have significant impact on Canadians with ties to EU member states. That's why it is important to understand and get proper advice on how it operates and how it can be beneficially applied for Canadians doing their estate planning.
As a brief overview, the Regulation tries to harmonize the law to govern succession on death so that one law will apply – generally the law of the deceased's "last habitual residence." It does not cover tax or family law and is restricted in scope to passing assets on death.
If a person has a nationality different from their place of last habitual residence, they have the option to choose instead the law of their nationality to apply to their succession. That's why it's so important for Canadians to understand that if they are also citizens of Canada, they have the option to make a choice of law in their will so that their local law will apply, and not the foreign law of the European member state they are connected with.
In a federal country such as Canada, the Regulation provides that if succession matters are not governed at the national level, the choice to be made is the jurisdiction with which you have the closest connection. In Canada, succession matters are governed by each province or territory. Choice of law requires choosing the laws of Canada, and the law of the province or territory with which you have the closest connection.
For Canadians with a vacation property abroad, such as in France, Italy, Portugal or Spain, it is important to take these considerations into account in your planning. These jurisdictions do not allow for testamentary freedom on death. You cannot, in general, leave all of your assets just to your spouse if you have children, and instead there is a mandatory scheme of distribution in favour of spouse and children called "forced heirship."
To avoid this result, a Canadian with a vacation home in one of those countries can choose the law of the province or territory they have the closet connection with to apply, for example the law of Ontario or British Columbia. Likewise, a Canadian living in an EU member state and habitually resident there can choose the law of the Canadian province or territory they have the closest connection with, so that the local law of the EU member state will not apply.
Slowly, on a practical level, practitioners including lawyers and notaries in EU member states, are coming to terms with the intricacies and everyday application of the Regulation, and the body of professional literature and professional education on the topic is evolving and growing.
The first case dealing with the Regulation from the Court of Justice of the European Union was just reported last fall in October 2017, dealing with a Polish national resident with real property in Germany, who wished to have Polish law apply to govern succession of her German real property. The issue arose of how, if at all, German succession law might restrict her choice of law, and the scope of the Regulation in that regard.
A recent case of notoriety involving the Regulation concerns the estate of celebrity French rock singer Johnny Hallyday, a French citizen who died in December 2017, leaving two children from a former marriage.
Johnny left his estate to his fourth wife and two adopted children under his California will. His French children from a prior marriage are asserting that he was habitually resident in France at his death, and therefore French succession law should apply, under which they would be entitled to a forced share of his large estate.
They recently obtained a French court order freezing his estate's French assets. His widow takes the position that at his death he was habitually resident in California, and that California law should be referred to determine succession to his property. The case will be interesting in terms of determination of his habitual residence. Surprisingly, the Regulation contains no definition for this term, which is one of the criticisms that has been made of it.
For anyone who believes they may be impacted by the Regulation, it is important to get proper legal advice. With growing mobility of people and assets, when it comes to estate planning, it can no longer be done in a domestic vacuum.

Indoor Floor Fountains and Waterfalls
Slate water fountains are made of slate stone which is a weather proof and rustic stone of the highest quality. Indoor slate water fountains may be wall mounted or may stand on their own. Smaller fountains designed to be placed on tables or holders are called tabletops and larger models that are placed on the ground are floor fountains.
Slate is naturally beautiful when polished and the sheen of flowing water only enhances the aesthetic. Colors, hues and textures of the slate stone are varied. Some truly creative pieces have been made over the years - some that incorporate artwork into the design and others that combine different stones and rocks for a more natural appearance (a truly stunning variation being the slate copper fountain).
Benefits of Slate Fountains
Slate fountains are a delight to the senses, both visually and aurally. Visually speaking, not only is the slate itself beautiful in appearance, but with added lighting and color effects, the entire fountain can be quite a show. The sound of rushing water is also a pleasant distraction. The sound of a waterfall can be relaxing and can enhance concentrative abilities in a person. Lastly, indoor slate water fountains are natural humidifiers.
What Separates Slate Stone From The Rest
Slate indoor water fountains are heavier than other wall mounted fountains simply because slate is real stone. For this reason they are also priced higher than typical wall waterfalls and floor fountains. Some water features reach in excess of $5,000 for a large unit.
Most high quality models offer a "whisper quiet" device, that keeps the same sound of running water but quiets the whispering noise that sometimes accompanies a pump device. These natural slate fountains are highly collectible, individually designed, and a relaxing amenity to add to any home or business. Indoor slate water fountains are a delight to all your senses.

Special People Photography, Shy Photographer
This might not be useful to many professionals who are comfortable shooting people, but it might give hope to photographers who never were comfortable shooting models like I was, am, & will be!
It goes without saying that the first model I ever shot was family, my husband in particular as he's the most patient one. I love him for this among a million other reasons. Shooting family members is neither scary nor embarrassing in any way as photos would always have emotional value if they didn't turn out to be useful commercially.
This photo in particular is very dear for me even if it sold not once. "There would sometimes be a tempest in my heart, and to soothe me you would stroke my forehead with your hands, your archangel's hands, and speak to me in those magical words of yours about love, about things that are sacred, about tenderness, [...]" (The Tale of the Rose, Consuelo de Saint-Exupery).
Then came Venice Carnival where I went overboard shooting people... except that it didn't feel like people photography as all were masked, this made it extremely enjoyable and not stressful at all. I just had to direct the Masks to certain poses and good light positions - they knew just how to move because they were professional and wanted their photos taken to immortalize their creations. The highlight was in exchanging personal cards so that I send them their photos once back home, really kind people.
The trip to Provence was the one that marked me the most given the many moments we shared with the locals. The following first photo is of a lovely, lively 80-year-old who agreed to dress up and dance in the lavender field near the B&B she owns. She's full of life and joy and love - a real lady. The next 2 photos are of a 14-year old who was over the moon to have her photos taken when I asked her. She went with her mom and I gave her my hats, umbrella, and various scarves... we ended up spending a delightful 3 hours in the dreamlike fields.
So yes, even if I don't like taking photos of people, some moments create their own necessities and my natural shyness can be surpassed - living the moments and shooting people is an overwhelming pleasure for me that can be relived every time I look back on the photos.

Wow Eliane, such lovely words, so much to learn in every step we take through time. We learn and evolve and for a reason things happen depending on our personalities rather than on a global scale, everyone gets affected differently. Thanks for the reflection :)
Nice! That's a very unique case! :D
Thanks Traceyvivar :) Yes, why does it happen on blogs?
Why is only a fraction of my comment being published?
Nice article, Elaine, thanks.
@Physie28, your comment made my day! I will one day shoot wildlife, it's a dream...
Fantastic photos my friend, specially the one of the lavender dance, I saw myself really encouraged by your post as I am in the same situation as you: I feel very shy taking photos of people and I am always afraid they will take it badly.. I have past from nearly exclusively shooting wildlife (which newer complains) to African people during this nearly three months now in Kenya.

Gunnedah Shire Council Enriches Arts and Culture with Funding Allocation04.05.2018
Gunnedah Shire Council has provided a boost to the arts and culture scene, with more than $16,000 granted to local groups under the new Arts and Cultural Funding Program.
Following submissions, a selection panel was appointed and recommended a total of $16,751.00 in grant funding to be distributed among five groups. The following funding was endorsed by Council at April's Ordinary Council Meeting:
- Gunnedah Pottery Club $1400.00 to assist with workshop costs
- Gunnedah Embroiders Guild $851.00 to assist with tutor fees
- Arts Gunnedah $5000.00 to contribute to the Annual Arts and Ceramics Exhibition
- Two Rivers Arts Council $3000.00 to contribute to the Two Rivers Dance Collective and Big Circus Show
- Gunnedah Conservatorium $6,500.00 to assist with hosting the community choir, youth choir, community orchestra and to assist with costs for musical production, Chicago
Gunnedah Shire Council Director Corporate and Community Services Colin Formann said the new program was adopted by Council at the February Ordinary Council Meeting and has enabled multiple arts and culture groups to apply for funding to support their programs and services.
"The new program brings Council's process for distributing funds for arts groups into line with what occurs for sporting and community organisations, resulting in a fairer system," Mr Formann said.
"The panel assessed the applications on their merits and ensured a fair distribution by prioritising projects which would have significant benefit to local arts and cultural programming in the Gunnedah community."
Gunnedah Conservatorium Director Rebecca Ryan spoke in favour of the program.
"Council should be commended for taking this direction. It allows organisations to tailor and develop their programs to meet the community's needs," Ms Ryan said.
It is anticipated a second round of funding will be open for applications in June.
"A new round of funding is expected to open in the second half of this year, which will give organisations a second opportunity, or those that missed out in this round, to apply," Mr Formann said.

The newly launched I.N.D.Y. Travel Society for Women is a unique small group travel organization designed to enable women of all ages and backgrounds, from all cultures and walks of life, to travel no matter what age or life has thrown at them.
The Society's founder, Lizzy McCartney, explains that the acronym I.N.D.Y. represents "I'm Not Dead Yet" and that I.N.D.Y. trips differ from others because they have only 10 female participants on each tour.
The tours include two escorts from the USA in addition to a group leader at the destination abroad. Lizzy added, "Some women are able to move more quickly than others, and some may not be able to participate in every activity. On I.N.D.Y. tours no participant has to feel that she is holding anyone back, nor does she have to push herself beyond her physical limits. If an activity is too difficult there is no pressure to participate.
One escort stays with those who find walking or climbing a challenge and move more slowly – people like me.
The other accompanies those participants who enjoy a brisk pace or can leap tall buildings with a single bound", Lizzy joked. "In the evenings we also find that there are those who prefer to return to the hotel earlier than others. It's nice to have one escort who will accompany those who want to return to the hotel earlier and another who enjoys staying out with the night owls.
The extra escort allows us to better meet everyone's needs throughout the trip." Our goal is to get every woman to consider traveling, especially those who may have thought that their traveling days were over. To keep I.N.D.Y. adventures accessible pricewise we try to keep the costs down without sacrificing quality or comfort. Safety is always our number one concern.
Explore Southern Italy runs from September 28-October 7, 2016 and incorporates a very unique itinerary focusing on Italy's Puglia region. The ten day program includes overnights in Amalfi, Trani, Matera, Alberobello, Lecce and Bari. The tour cost is $1926 based on a twin share room.
The cost of airfare will be separate and every effort will be made to allow participants to travel together with the escorts from the gateway city in the USA. A group flight was not blocked in order to allow participants to plan pre- or post-tour travel in Italy if they so wish.
Fire, Ice and Northern Lights, Iceland, departs the USA on November 7 and returns November 13. The tour includes escorted round trip flights from Boston and costs $2385 based on a twin share room. In addition to overnights in Reyjkavik, the tour features 3 overnights outside the city where Northern Lights viewing is best. Also included are a glacier walk, a variety of meals and visits to Southern Iceland's most stunning sites by private vehicle with a local tour leader as well as the tour escorts.
Other trips for 2016 are in the works.

The Right Move ( a jacob black love story)
Okay, this is my FIRST EVER SERIES. EVER. PLease let me know what you think :) and comment, please, please, please, please!
-Nella x
Chapter 2
La Push ... Imprinting? ... and Embry Call
Eugh! Well, there goes another one, another imprint. This time it's Paul. So .. that makes four imprints all together, Sam, Jared, Seth and now Paul. I sighed. I guess i was jealous, i wanted what they had - Not that i'd ever admit that to them!
It was around eight, when i broke through a clearing in the forest.
And thats when i saw her.
The most beautiful girl in the world. All the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings to a bunch of balloons. Everything that made me who I was - my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, my home, my name, me self - disconnected from me in that second and floated up into space. But i was not left drifting. A new string held me where i was.
Not one string, but a million.
Not strings, but steel cables.
A million steel cables all tying me to one thing - to the very center of the universe. To the beautiful girl with the camera.
"At least the scenery is a plus." She spoke.
My pulse quickened and before i knew it i replied "Yeah, it's beautiful. Isnt it?"
She spun around and i came face-to-face with smiling green eyes of my imprint.
"Hi, Im Jacob."
"_. Nice to meet you." and she blushed. It made me happy that i could make her do that.
"Nice to meet you too, Your new here right?"
"Yeah, i arrived from London last night." I wanted to break into a happy dance. complete with air punches and cartwheels. London! She came from London!
She coughed politely reminding me that i was still staring at here - probably like a moron at that. I am so lame!
"Sorry" I said, okay, now ... now i just gotta ask her out. But before i got a chance to she said "Sorry, Jacob. But i have to go home now. Finnish packing and such you know." She smiled at me and i got butterflies.
She turned to go, I couldn't let her slip away from me, not when i just found her! I grabbed her wrist and blurted "Uhm, I know your new here and dont know anyone, so do you want me to show you around?"
She laughed slightly, did she know how nervous i was? Probably.
"Sure, thatd be great!"
Later that night when i was coming home from patrol with Paul and Quil i couldnt keep a straight thought, i just kept thinking about her. Her smile, Her laugh, the way she agreed to spend the day with me ...
"Seriously, dude! At least //try// and keep focused?" Paul thought. Quil just laughed as i rolled my eyes, nothing could keep me down tonight!
We phased back and put on clothes arriving at my house, where, to my joy, Emily had sent over piles upon piles of food. I was seriously going to have to thank Sam for imprinting on her - she was an amazing cook!
Then my dad spoke, "So boys, what will you be doing tomorrow?"
"I think thats more of //who// will Jacob be doing tomorrow" Paul and Quil laughed as i turned red and flung a handful of pancakes at them, which of course the dodged. Poor dad actually looked confused, im soo thankful he didnt get it. "What do you mean?"
Paul and Quil shared a look and started singing " Jacobs got a girlfriend! Jacobs got a girlfriend! Jacobs got a girlfriend!" while skipping around my kitchen, ofcourse i blushed more.
I looked at my dad and he was busy smiling away to himself then he looked at me suddenly serious, "Are you sure Jake?"
"yeah, dad. I imprinted on her for sure." i couldnt help smiling when i thought of her again, which made Paul and Quil laugh all the more. But this time i grinned at them and said that im going to bed as it was past three in the morning. Just seven more hours till i see _.
*Your P.O.V*
Deep breaths, i can do this.
I mean, how hard can it be to choose an outfit to wear going out with Jake?
All my clothes were flung around my bed, i had my hands on my hips trying hard not to scream in frustration. I glanced at the clock, it was 9:43. I had showered, and had my hair and make-up finished. All i need to do now is choose an outfit ...
Thats how Daniel found me. My bedroom door was open so i seen him walk past, stop and backtrack to my room where he leaned up against the door frame and smirked. "Let me guess. Nothing to wear?" He laughed.
I threw a pillow at him shut the door on him.
The door bell rang just i finished putting on shorts and long sleeved graphic tee.
I ran downstairs just as my dad opened the door to Jacob.
"Hey Jake!" I grinned and ran up to him
"Hey There" he smiled down at me, with an expression i couldnt make out "Shall we go?" He asked
"Sure, lets go." Suddenly i wasnt worried anymore about anything but looking forward to my day with Jake.
As we walked down the path to his car, under the watchful gaze of dad ofcourse. "Have her home by 11:30!" My dad called and closed the door, but i saw the curtain on the kitchen twitch and i knew he was still watching us.
"So," I said as we were driving away "where first?"
He laughed "It's a surprise."
The way there we chatted about everything and anything. He seemed very interested in what i had to say, it made me feel special. Jacob made me laugh telling me stories of what he and his friends got up to lat summer, until he stopped the car.
The 'surprise' ended up being the beach I seen from looking down from the cliff where i first met Jacob.
There were five very tall and muscular guys, just like jake, playing volleyball on the beach where we were walking to.
"_, these are my friends. They said they'd like to meet you, is that okay?" Jake said, he looked worried. But i smiled and said "Id love to meet them! It's on way making new friends right?" He grinned at me happy i was making an effort.
Once they seen us they rushed over and grabbed me in a big bear hug, and i laughed. Then Jake introduced them to me. "_, this is Sam, Jared, Quil, Paul and -"
"Embry." i cut him off. I stared at boy just three feet away and he stared back. Then he grinned and threw me over his shoulder and ran into the water, "Embry! Stop, put me down!" I couldnt stop laughing, it was so great to see him again!
I was 13 and Daniel was 'in charge' of looking out for a transfer from america in his class for a month over summer before he had to go home. That transferee was Embry Call.
"_! Embry called "Ya wanna go skateing with us?"
"yeah! Hold on one second!" i shouted back i put on my shoes and ran downstaires. Embry was the same age as Daniel - just a year older then me, and i always thought of him as another older brother.
I was skateing when suddenly a dog jumped out on me and i fell, landing on my arm. Embry ran over to me, " _! Are you okay?"
He carried me home to my parents and held my hand the whole ride to the hospital when i found out my arm was broken.
He was the one who let me soak his shirt with my tears when i found out my mom was leaving us. He was my bestfriend.
"Call me _ okay? Please. When you need anything, just call, i'll be there for you. Always." Embry hugged me before turning away and getting on the aiplane back to his home. I cried myself to sleep for weeks after he left, i didnt have anyone left to talk to now my best friend was gone.
End of Flashback
When walked back up to the others laughing, i looked at Jacob, he looked confused, so i explained to him who i knew Embry. He seemed relieved, but took a step closer to me.
"_, will come a walk with me?" Jake asked as we sat around a bonfire later that night.
"Of course" I smiled at him jumping up from the sand.
We started walking towards the cliff on the other side of the beach without speaking. Jacobs shoulder brushes against mine. Then i feel his hand. His fingers graze against my own casually at first, as though by accident - then, slowly, entwine themselves around mine.
I somehow force myself not to catch my breath. Still neither of us has spoken, i'm not sure i can speak! The only sounds of our footsteps' muffled thud as they hit the sand and waves of the ocean in the distance.
We come to a stop at an old washed out tree stump, just big enough for us to sit on. But when i go to sit beside Jake he pulls me onto his lap and i rest my head against his chest, content to listen to his heartbeat.
"_?" He whispers
"Yeah, Jake?"
"Uhm, i have to tell you something .." I can tell hes nevous by the way his heartbeat increased. I looked up at him and smiled "Shoot."
He looked down, took a deep breath then looked me in the eyes "Ha-have you ever heard the stories of my ansestors?"
"The ones about wolves?" He nodded. "Yeah, when I found out I was moving here, I researched. I remember reading the story. Why?"
He took another deep breath "Because,,well, because they're true. I - I'm a wolf. well, shapeshifter acctually, but still."
I looked at him closely, there was something in his eyes that told me he was telling the truth. But i still wanted proof. "Show me."
"Show you? What, Now?"
"Yup." I stood up and took his hand and led him in to the woods. "Please?"
He sighed, scared of my reaction "O-okay." He moved behind a tree and a few moments later a huge russet coloured wolf appeared. I could tell my facial expression was shock. He moved slowly towards me, and stopped a few feet away. Giving me time to take it all in, then i laughed. I walked up to him and stroked his hair, "Jacob, i dont care what you are." I smiled at him, " It doesnt matter to me."
The wolf look at me turned around and Jake came back out from behind the tree. "Thats not all."
"What do you mean?" i asked looking at him
He ran up to me "I imprinted on you."
"imprinted?" He then proceed to explain what it is and my smile grew.
"why are you smiling?" he asked i laughed
"I think its very sweet. I'm actually quite flattered too."
Then jacob laughed relieved. He took me in his arms and huged me, lifting me off the ground and spinning me around. i laughed until i was breathless and he put me down.
He looked at me and bent his head towards mine, and i leaned in and he closed the gap, crushing his mouth against mine, very sofly but still full of passion. he put his arms around my waist and i put mine around his neck pulling him closer. It was my first kiss, but it was all imagined it to be, and better.
we finally pulled away needing air and Jacob hugged me close and whispered in my ear "I love you _"
"I love you too Jake."
Suddenly, there was a russle of leaves from behind me and a voice called out "Well, isnt that all very sweet? Too bad it wont last long." Jacob looked up and growled at whatever it was behind me and pushed me behind his back.
I peeked from under his arm and saw .....

Eagleget Chrome extension doesn't work for me.
I watched some videos on some websites and eagleget started to download them automatically but I didn't want to download the videos,
so I clicked on "Don't Monitor this Site" and after doing this for some websites , chrome extension got faulty and doesn't work anymore.
It has a ! sign on it and when you click, it has just the repair option, it tells you to reinstall eagleget to fix it.
I have tested that if I clear and empty the "don't monitor following sites" list, the chrome extension will be fixed, but I have to use "don't monitor this site" option once again for all those websites and it will be faulty again.
please fix this bug in new Version.
Manually add these auto-downloading links to the exclusion list in EagleGet configuration which works better.
