Buying gifts for travelers, nomads, and wanderlust can often be a struggle. Many of us don't like to have a lot of -things- it doesn't help us pack light. We are also often less materialistic, opting for the experiences of travel over a house full of stuff. This list of unique travel gifts isn't like the others. There are no Amazon links and no large companies represented. Most of the items are from small sellers on Etsy, handmade, locally produced, or made of recycled products. The others are from companies that I trust.
I curated unique travel gifts that I thought were truly special and thoughtful. This list includes travel accessories, travel-themed clothing, jewelry, home decor, and DIY, gift cards, and more.

Unique Travel Experiences
Most travelers that I know aren't looking for more things but rather more experiences. The gifts found in this section will excite any traveler. Gift cards for travel are always welcomed! This goes for hotels, flights, and experiences like I share below.
Gift Card for Epic Experiences with Tinggly
Tinggly is an amazing travel company that allows you to buy experiences instead of things for friends, family, or even yourself. The best part is that for one price you get to choose between hundreds of experiences so no need to stress. They are available in more than 100 countries, no expiration date, and can work for 1 or 2 people. To add to all of this, Tinggly also donates part of its profit to sustainable projects.
There are various price points from as low as $89 to as much as $459.
Activities include hot air balloon rides, skydiving, helicopter rides, city break for two, whale watching, horse riding, food experiences, tours, and much more. As a traveler, I can safely say any of these gift cards are the absolute perfect gift!
Food Tour with Eating Europe
Eating Europe is a food tour company based across 10 different cities in Europe. Their tours range from neighborhood-based, street food, wine, markets, cooking classes, etc. If a traveler you know will be hitting one of the cities they are based in this is an excellent choice. It allows them to explore a place through its food.
Travel Accessories Gifts
Travel accessories are the most practical of the list. Help the traveler in your life get organized and be stylish at the same time.
Charging Passport Case
This passport case is not an ordinary case. This one also includes a power bank and place to charge your phone. Every traveler knows how important this is. Bonus points for travel themed covers.

Mini Travel Kit
This handmade kit comes with an inflatable neck pillow and a sleep mask. This kit is so practical and stylish. Having the option to fold everything down small to slip into your carry on is ideal.
$27.00 / Buy Now
Acrylic Luggage Tag
I couldn't pass up this very unique and stylish luggage tag. I love the design and permanence of it. Okay, so maybe this isn't ideal for the nomads who change their addresses often, but for those who have a stable home and have an attention to details.
$10.00 / Buy Now
Hoodie Neck Pillow
I will admit that I actually own one of these and as ridiculous as it looks it is amazing. I love this item for a few reasons. First, the strings for the hood are quite convenient for tieing the pillow to your luggage. Secondly, the hood comes down far enough that it can act as an eye mask while you sleep. Finally, I personally hate when the bits of air are blowing on me from the airplane and this blocks it while I sleep. Perfect for the traveler that doesn't care everyone is laughing at them because they are well-rested.
$23.95 / Buy Now
Custom Sleep Mask
It seems that people love sleep masks. I don't own one, but I think they are cute gifts. This sleep mask is customizable and perfect for that traveler that is a bit extra, maybe someone going on a honeymoon, or big trip. Soft satin to keep your skin from irritation.
$20.00 / Buy Now
Leather Cable Organizer
There are some travelers who throw all of their cords mixed together in their bags and there are travelers who own these. Having your cords in a very accessible and neat manner is very practical and useful. If you are backpacking for a long period of time, being able to grab into your bag and get what you need immediately is priceless.
$25.50 / Buy Now
Adventure Awaits Bag
Small makeup or carry-all bags are perfect for travel. I have a bunch of different ones and use them for various things every time I travel. I use one for my chargers, one for makeup, one for undergarments, etc. This bag is cute for everyday use and doesn't need to be used while on the road.
$11.45 / Buy Now
Leather Cable Organizer
I mentioned previously about the importance of having your cords safe, accessible, and untangled. I am not sure if I can express how many times I was sitting on a plane or bus, or walking down the street attempting to untangle or even find my earphones. With something like this you always know where they are and they can slip into your pocket or bag without the mess.
$11.70 / Buy Now
Wool Blanket Scarf
Blanket scarfs are amazing. Let me repeat. Blanket scarfs are amazing! I do not travel without one. Ever.
Finding the perfect blanket scarf is a game-changer. I always wear one when I fly to use as a blanket on the plane, to keep warm in the winter (obviously), and I also use them to cover my head if it rains. The bonus with this scarf is that it is wool. Wool does not soak up water, it acts as a repellent, and it will continue to insulate even when wet (aka perfect for cold rainy days).
$46.06 / Buy Now
Cork Passport Cover
I have never seen a cork passport cover before but I thought this was a clever gift and a great transition to our next section. This travel accessory is perfect for sustainable and eco-minded travelers. Passport holders, while they seem unnecessary, are great to know exactly where your documents are while traveling. The bonus of this item is cork is a great eco-friendly and cruelty-free products (trees are not harmed during harvesting). It is also incredibly resistant against water, stain, fungus, and fire retardant.

Eco-Friendly Gifts
I wanted to share some eco-friendly gifts that I thought were perfect for everyday use while traveling far or near, while hiking or wandering city streets. These items will help you reduce your waste and plastic consumption.
Reusable Sandwich or Snack Bag
I think these are fantastic and I am ordering my own as I type this. They are reusable bags with waterproof lining. They sell them in large (fits a sandwich) and small (fits snacks). They are ideal for long journeys, hiking, or especially the budget travelers looking to save leftovers!
$8.00 / Buy Now
Zero Waste Travel Kit
This zero-waste travel kit is perfect for the eco-friendly traveler. It includes bamboo cutlery and straw, straw cleaner, bamboo toothbrush and case, wooden comb, and shampoo bar with a case. Battle Green, the company that sells these are committed to zero waste and plastic-free materials. Everything you see here is made thoughtfully and materials chosen carefully.
$43.05 / Buy Now
Zero Waste Shampoo
I don't have personal experience with solid shampoos but I will admit I am intrigued for one reason: carry on. I would love to be that person to travel with just a carry on but my shampoo and soap always need to be checked. These are perfect for that reason alone. They are also great because they are made with gentle ingredients, fragrance oil-free, paraben-free, vegan-friendly, and never tested on animals. Win-win!
$10.00 / Buy Now
Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps
I love my beeswax wraps and always recommend them to others. They can be used to wrap up leftovers and because they are made with beeswax they are antibacterial. The warmth from your hands helps to "seal" the wrap and they can be easily hand washed and even refreshed like new.
$3.45 / Buy Now
Personalized Reusable Water Bottle
As I always say there is no reason to not have and use a reusable water bottle. Getting it personalized is a nice touch for a traveler and even better if they are a blogger or content creator to share their social media handle as a little shameless plug.
$14.82 / Buy Now
Travel Tote Bag Gifts
Tote bags are used by almost everyone. Perfect for running to the grocery store, library, gym, just as a purse, or during travel. There is rarely a moment when it is inappropriate to use one. With so many different options there is almost no reason for anyone to put their groceries in plastic!
World Map Tote Bag
These map-inspired bags are unique and handmade and I think perfect for the wanderlust. You can even have them custom made to any location! Personalize it showcasing someone's home, favorite travel spot, or bucket list destination!
$40.00 / Buy Now
Hong Kong Street Food Tote Bag
This bag is really specific but it is also really flipping cute. It showcases street food in Hong Kong, sharing the local names and in English. Everything about this bag is adorable and unique so any foodie would be excited to receive it.
$35.00 / Buy Now
The World Tarot Tote Bag
There are a lot of travel-inspired tote bags out there. You can find one to fit any personality. The World card in Tarot symbolizes travel, accomplishment, and new beginnings, and is often explained to mean the world is at your feet. It is very fitting for those ready to set off on a new chapter of their life.

Travel Home Decor Gifts
There are those of us who are into travel and those of us who are really into travel. This category is probably the latter. Decorating their home with travel-inspired decor, souvenirs in every corner, their house is like a museum.
Scratch-off Map of the US
Do people still like scratch-off maps anymore? I have no idea but I thought this was a really pretty take on the idea. Perfect for those traveling the US.

Scratch-off National Parks
The same concept as above, scratch-off map, but this one is just for National Parks. I think this is a cool gift for someone who loves the parks and travels to them frequently. It is displayed nicely and the photos are great.

Travel Print
Yes, Lake Bled caught my eye but I stayed for the rest! I love browsing prints on Etsy to see other people's interpretations of a place, movie, or concept. I thought that these are really beautiful prints that would look great in many homes.
$14.82 / Buy Now
Scratch-off Foods of the US Map
I swear this is the last one! Three scratch-off maps and I don't even know if people own these. I know, I know. I am a sucker for food-themed items and I thought this one was just so freaking cool (hint hint). I also love that there are multiple items on most states so it isn't just about one food per place, but a range of items!
$29.65 / Buy Now
World Travel Watercolor Prints
One last set of prints! I couldn't leave these watercolor prints off the list. I love the simplicity of them and think they would look great in any setting. Who doesn't love a bit of travel inspiration?
$16.00 / Buy Now
Travel Inspired Candles
Candles inspired by destinations. I wish I could give these a sniff before recommending but they had good reviews so I will try to trust the internet. Scent is a powerful thing and each place does tend to have its own smell and feeling. These candles are a perfect way to bring you back to that moment on your favorite trip.
$16.00 / Buy Now
Travel Inspired Jewelry Gifts
There are a lot of beautiful travel-inspired jewelry choices so I tried to select a mix and what I thought was the best quality and still unique.

Lots of possibilities for the hikers and nature lovers. This mountain range necklace is subtle and cute without being over the top – just my style. I love the little detail of the snow-covered tops.
$15.98 / Buy Now
Adjustable Airplane Ring
This airplane ring is simple and delicate. I also choose it because it is adjustable. I don't know about you but I don't even know my own ring size let alone someone else. This is a great choice for the traveler that wears subtle jewelry and of course rings.
$12.99 / Buy Now
City Ring
These city rings are cool and unique. I don't know how comfortable they would be on (reviews say they are!), but they are a statement. Now, wait for the best part…you can make a custom one! They have a menu with a ton of cities around the world or you can make a custom order which I think is just fantastic. I am tempted to buy one myself!
$23.62 / Buy Now

A great gift to be shared between friends. This airplane necklace has some added details of the cubic zirconia and is available in gold, silver, or rose gold. I also recommend browsing this shop's other jewelry as there are some very beautiful pieces.

Travel Inspired Clothing Gifts
This section is mainly shirts because shirts are easy gifts! No one goes around buying pants or underwear for people, that would be weird. For the friend who won't shut up about everywhere they have traveled to this year, buy them one of these.
Explore More Sweatshirt
You can't go wrong with a classic sweatshirt and this one is a great simple design that is fitting, once again, for the nature lovers, but also just for the travelers. The theme is the same!

Last shirt that I picked out for the traveler in your life. If you are shopping for someone who is aiming to be the next big travel influencer pop this in their gift bag for a few laughs and appreciation.

Travel Journal and DIY Gifts
Travel journals and planners and journaling/scrapbooking items. This section is maybe my favorite because I love crafty things and notebooks. I can't pass up a good one and these are really good. These gifts are perfect for the traveler who is often scribbling away in their notebook, planning upcoming travels obsessively, or the creative who scrapbooks their adventures.
Customizable Travel Notebook
I think this might be my favorite item on the whole list. How thoughtful is this design, so intentional and simple. They come in beautiful colors and have a range of illustrations you can use, and you can personalize the front, back, and spine! They can be made as a very general travel journal or to document a specific trip. Perfect for the writers and note-takers.
$33.52 / Buy Now
Travel Planner Journal
This travel journal is a great product and at a great price. It has all of the useful sections one needs while hitting the road. I always advocate to write down the important stuff in case you lose phone service or even your phone. A paper trail is your backup plan!

Vintage Postcards
I collect vintage postcards from flea markets or yard sales but you can buy them from Etsy! This product is great for the traveler who loves old things and photos, for the scrapbookers, for the travel journalers. Products like this are great to be repurposed or just hung on the wall.

Falling in the same category as the previous two items. These vintage tags are unique accents for a travel journal or collage. These are not the copy-paste and print stickers you can get a craft store and that is what makes them so special. Any crafter would love to see these in their projects.

This keychain is just ridiculously cute and a great little piece that someone will carry with them every day! A great reminder of the gift giver and their travels.

Mike's London Marathon bid for the Bishop Simeon Trust
On Sunday 28th April Mike Plowman, Chair of the Berkhamsted Cycling Club, will run his first London Marathon to raise £1,000 for the Bishop Simeon Trust.
"I'm running to raise funds for the Bishop Simeon Trust because I think that they do brilliant work supporting those children that need help most, as well as tackling the causes of poverty and AIDS."
"I think the atmosphere will be fabulous and look forward to the crowds helping me round. The best possible support would be for people to donate! I'm keen to smash my target, anyone wanting to help can text BST15 to 70085 to donate £15 to this great charity."
You can also support Mike by giving via his fundraising page: Sponsor Mike by clicking here!
"I have only run one marathon before and that was back in 1983, so here I go again 36 years later! If there was a reason why I haven't done a second one, then I have forgotten it!"
"I've been doing a mixture of training as I cycle a lot with Berkhamsted Cycling Club, squeezing in at least three long runs a week alongside that. I completed the Berkhamsted half marathon the other week which was great preparation."
Mike finds the prospect of the London Marathon a daunting one and hopes that his legs can take the strain! We asked Mike if he thought that he would run another marathon after this one. "I don't really know how I feel about doing another. Maybe I should leave it another 36 years and consider it then – I'll only be 93!"
Mike is married to Sue and is father of Jacqueline and Jennifer. He is the Director of a Berkhamsted based learning & development consultancy.

UC Davis began moving thousands of campus email lists to Sympa this week, as planned. Questions inevitably surface, and Information and Educational Technology has pulled together a list of the most common.
If you don't find your answer here, consult the help documents and instructions. If you need additional assistance, please contact the IT Express Computing Services Help Desk at (530) 754-HELP (4357).
The list migrations will run for several weeks, at the rate of about 200 per weekday, proceeding in alphabetical order. If you need special attention for your list, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Find the service at lists.ucdavis.edu.
On to the most common questions so far:
My email list has a password. Now that my list has moved to Sympa, why doesn't the password work?
Sympa is user-centric, not list-centric. You log in through CAS with your campus Kerberos passphrase; Sympa then displays all the lists you are affiliated with. The individual lists no longer have passwords.
How come the email list hosted on my departmental email server does not show up on lists.ucdavis.edu?
Sympa, or lists.ucdavis.edu, only has access to lists hosted by the central campus email list server. Many departmental email services, especially those that use Exchange, may maintain their own distribution lists. Unfortunately, those lists are not accessible via lists.ucdavis.edu. You will need to contact your departmental technical services desk for assistance with those lists.
I want to name a campus email list the same name as my departmental server list, but Sympa won't let me. Why?
If you receive an error pop-up with this message--"Mothra lock for $ already exists, please choose another name"--it indicates that the name you want for your list is already in use. It could be an old list name that has not been released yet, a loginID of a current or past member of the UC Davis community, or a reserved name. You can contact IT Express at email@example.com and request that the name be released. If it is not currently in use, the IT Express Team can release the name for you.
What do I use to log in?
Go here.
How do I change the owners of a list?
Go here, and read the last entry, \034How do I add more owners/moderators?\035
How do I add subscribers?
See the "Edit Subscribers" section here.
Why are the list owners being moderated by the moderators?
If a list has no moderators, then Sympa uses the owners as moderators. However, if the owners create moderators, Sympa assumes that the owner(s) wanted to delegate that responsibility--and therefore the moderators end up moderating the list, including any posts from list owners. Owners who also want to act as moderators should make themselves moderators too.
Why are all the owners of a list getting all the error messages for the list?
By default, Sympa assumes that owners want to receive administrative messages about their lists. Owners who do not wish to receive these administrative messages can set their reception method to "nomail" in the "Owner" section under the "List definition" tab (see area outlined in red in this screen shot).

Robust and inexpensive photoelectrodes for solar water splitting tandem cells
Prof. Kevin Sivula, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne
Datum: 23.05.2014 um 15:30 Uhr
Ort: Adolf-von-Baeyer-Hörsaal, Butenandtstr. 5-13
A device that can convert solar energy into a chemical fuel with good efficiency while also offering high stability and the capability to be constructed with widely available materials using inexpensive processing techniques is urgently needed. A practical and inexpensive device could be constructed with an n-type photoanode in tandem with a p-type photocathode. In this presentation I will present our progress in the development of solution-processed photoelectrodes and their application toward overall photoelectrochemical water splitting tandem cells. Specifically, progress with a promising photoanode material, Fe2O3, and its application in a photoanode/dye sensitized solar cell tandem device will be described. In addition, I will present progress towards the realization of stable and highly active photocathode materials based on copper and their application in water splitting cells.

The very sound of "Tokyo" brings flashing neon lights, crazy animé costumes and mega malls into one's mind. Here five ways in which you can have fun in the lively, never sleeping city of Tokyo.
Designed by Kenzo Tange, one of the most significant architects of the 20th century, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is a stunning structure that's used as Tokyo Metropolitan Government headquarters since 1991. During the time in which it was built, it was considered to be the highest building in all of Japan, before new skyscrapers came and stole its thunder. Still, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building is well worth a visit. The building reaches a total of 243m and you get the chance to enjoy panoramic views of the city from the observatories on the North and South wings from 202m up above. On a day with a bright, clear sky you might even be able to see Mount Fuji from here!
Head over to Shimbashi to have a chilled out evening with your buddies. The Shimbashi town is home to many Izakaya, or traditional Japanese pubs, that originally catered to salaried workers looking to unwind after a hard day's work, However, today the popularity of Izakayas have extended towards the tourists as well who wish to sample some Saké washed down with a delicious range of Japanese food.
Shopping is an activity that many tourists classify as "fun", who doesn't love getting new clothes, shoes and whatnot? It's such a popular tourist activity that travel guides like Cinnamon Magazine give insights on all the best boutiques and markets to head over to for different needs. But when in Tokyo or Harajuku to be more precise, shopping is not just fun its exciting! Here in Harajuku you will find everything and anything related to Tokyo's vibrant pop culture. Some of the local shoppers and commuters here are dressed so extra that it looks like you their walking on a fashion show, but life is a runway after all right!
When you're done buying all the trendy clothes, shoes and accessories you need, you might want to refuel or re energies yourself with some tasty treats. Head over to Takeshita Street in Harajuku where you will find spectacular Japanese recreations of the humble French crêpe. The toppings on these fantastic crepes range from whipping cream, ice cream and fruits to more daring options such as mochi-style rice cake!
To make your memories of Tokyo last longer, head over to Puri-Kura which is an abbreviation of the Japanese meaning for Print Club. This is a small photo booth that not only produces your photos but photo stickers as well. The fun part of this is that you can modify your captured photo with some cool graffiti or messages. You can also get funny stickers of you and mates to paste on your room back home. It's not a huge attraction but it's the little things that are sometimes more fun right?
Japan is country that's home to many themed cafés, mostly those centered around animals. There are cat cafés, puppy cafés, owl cafés and the most scariest of them all, the Snake Café! This is how it works, first you must pay an entrance fee which entitles you to one drink as well. Now this drink is kind of special. Why? Because the drink is accompanied by a glass case in which resides a snake! Yep, that's right there are 40 cases per person, and the snake inside is called an attendant as it will stay with you on your table throughout your stay at the café- quite the drinking partner wouldn't you say!
Now if you were expecting to get, up close and personal with the snakes and not just see them through a glass box, you need to pay about 540 Yen more. Then, you will be taken to a special seat where you'll get to touch the snakes from different cases. This whole "touching session" lasts for about 10 minutes.

It's 3:10 pm on 10 Feb 17.
Thought I would run a entry from 2012 which would mark Lori and my last Christmas's together. This was before we both found out that her journey would soon be over.
As I am writing this,one of Lori's oncology nurses,Theresa,is fighting breast cancer. She is in my heart as are all of our angels are. There really isn't a day that I don't think of them and thank God for sending them our way.
So I once again offering God the same deal I offered for my Lori. You can have my life but please spare Theresa,she is so more needed here then I am. A nurse is one of the most unselfish professions and so badly overlooked. Especially an oncology nurse who will sit with a patient and treat them like it was a member of that nurse's own family.
Its 12:43 pm
The big news? I didn't win the Powerball lottery….I did however pick ONE number and that is reason enough to celebrate as I normally don't even get one right!
Its been a while since I wrote and when I checked my other writers,lo and behold Aaron Childs aka Scorpion,has resumed writing. He hadn't dropped anything new in 8-9 months and quite honestly I thought he had quit writing or had a massive case of writer's block. Just very happy he is back and I'm going to relist his blog on my front page. If you like a good all around interactive read,then Aaron is the blogger you want to check out!
3rd week of chemo is this week…first we'll be doing labs on Monday,then our regularly scheduled visit with Dr. Johnston…in which she'll schedule a MRI or CT scan for Lori's fistula. Hopefully this will happen before the first of the year before our deductible will kick back in on 1 Jan 2013. Be nice to have this covered but it really doesn't matter does it,it has to get done,one way or another. One can't live a quality life with a chronic condition like that.
Lori has lost about 95% of her hair…still looks sexy as hell however..I hold her very close at night and pray very hard for the both of us. We're half-way home and we're hoping Dr. J will see a clear sign of the current tumor being destroyed by the chemo. She said it would happen by the 3rd treatment and so here we are at the 3rd treatment.
Thanksgiving was pretty mellow…we cooked a small Butterball turkey breast and had all the sides. As I was cleaning up the dishes and putting away the leftovers,I went outside to dump the trash,it was cold and started to rain a bit,a perfect ending to a nice quiet day.
So needless to say I was surprised when I came back in and was told we were picking up Marlene our neighbor and making a mad Black Friday dash to flippin Walmart of all places!! Really?? Walmart? On Black Friday??
Oh my stars and garters…against my better judgement I saddled up and we headed down to a local store about 3 miles from us. The doorbusters were at 8 pm,10 pm and midnight. Marlene wanted a TV for her son's basement and I decided to get Lori a iPad 2 for Christmas.
Quite honestly,while I'm sure Suze Orman may not have approved my choice,its been years since I have been able to get my wife a "wow" gift for Christmas. I really wanted to do that this year and I had in fact decided to give her a iPad 2 but didn't expect to braving the Black Friday crowds to get one.
The parking lot was packed but we got a good parking spot and headed in….there were no lines and while the checkout lines were full,it was quiet. We saw long lines curled around balloons with different door busters being offered. The TVs were being handed out in the produce section.
Lori and Marlene headed over there while I went to sporting goods to stand in the iPad line….except there was no line! They gave us a card and said we could be rung up at 10 pm. We then were to register at the Walmart website for the iPad 2 by Sunday in order to get it by Christmas. Made perfect sense to me and I took my card and wheeled to my right and headed to produce.
Now where as my line was no line,the TV line was huge! It snaked around at least 5 food lanes when we landed and it was still growing. I kept a sharp eye on Lori and at the first sign of distress,we're gone. But she was a real trooper and seemed to really enjoy herself. Can't say I blame her because this Walmart was doing everything right….opened doors early,staggered the deals and had plenty of product. The crowd was very peaceful and in the 3 hours we were there…one hour to wait,2 hours to check-out…we didn't see a single nasty incident.
The three of us had a blast…we loaded our stuff on a cart and when the young couple behind had trouble carrying their stuff,we loaded it on our cart as well. The check-out line was the real test,it snaked almost throughout the entire store!
Lori sent me to look at the door buster deals in the DVD section…I tried but it was so trashed,I had no idea what on sale or not. As I made my way back through,I noticed a senior man who was trying to hang there as he made his way through the line. He even brought in his own chair but you could see he was running out of steam.
He was about 25 spots behind us..we started looking for help,I asked a young worker if he had a radio and if he could call a manager…he tried but with no radio,he was pretty handcuffed. He did manage to bring the man a bottled water but with at least a hour plus wait to go….a single bottle of water wasn't going to cut it.
Marlene found a manager with a radio and sent him down the line…I explained the situation and while the senior said he didn't want to hassle anyone (which we assured him wasn't the case) he was having a hard time. The manager was sort of frozen when a store manager came over and in 10 seconds had the the senior gentleman being escorted to the FRONT of the line!!! It was fucking outstanding to say the least…but when the woman behind the man said "really?" to the fact he was being helped,the crowd around her said "yeah,really". It was just one of those feel good to "pass it forward" moments that we all should try and strive for more often…
The iPad 2 was a great deal…399.00 plus taxes pushed it to 422.00. Quite a bit over the 150.00 limit we had for each other but we also got a 75.00 gift card from Walmart which was the big hook that made it so great to get.
It was my first Black Friday as a shopper and based on what we went through,it was pretty worth it. The employees were all very kind and helpful and seemed very happy to be there…I didn't hear anyone bitch about anything.
So the San Jose State Spartans finished up 10-2 this year! After watching the BYU game being so exciting,ESPN picked up the La. Tech game as well for the following Saturday. And once again,there I was at 10:30 pm at night watching the Spartans battle the nation's highest scoring team in college football.
The game was being pushed as a high scoring affair and while it was indeed that…San Jose State proved why they were a much better team because they have a DEFENSE! And while the score 52-43 was for SJSU,the defense showed up at several critical moments including Bene Benwikere's 3 INTs that stopped Tech dead in their tracks.
With the win,SJS finished 2nd in the WAC at 5-1 and 10-2 overall including wins over Navy,San Diego State and La. Tech. They are 25th in BCS standings and have indeed landed a berth in the Military Bowl where college football guru Phil Steele had seen them that….but as this entry,we still don't who we're beating.
I finished reading my Clive Cussler novel called "The Wrecker" which I found rather good. Seeing an established "name" who teams up with another good writer to co-write a novel seems to be the "in"thing these days,see James Patterson for what I'm talking about.
I think its a good idea but you better get it right the first time otherwise fans will get jaded and put off as their favorite writer's names are just being used to push bad books.
In this case,Cussler struck gold with his latest character,Issac Bell,and his co-writer,Justin Scott.
Alright,that is all I got….many thanks to those who keep on reading this blog….from the bottom of my heart,I thank you.

An optical tweezer uses forces exerted by a focused beam of light to trap particles and manipulate mesoscopic volumes of matter [1]. Recently, we introduced methods for creating [2,3,4] large arrays of optical tweezers in arbitrary arrangements by using computer-designed diffractive optical elements to configure the necessary pattern of laser beams. Such holographic optical tweezer (HOT) arrays can be used to assemble large numbers of colloidal particles into complex three-dimensional structures for photonic, optoelectronic and sensor applications. Achieving this potential requires a technique for filling large arrays of traps efficiently. This Letter presents a particularly simple and effective method whose generalizations suggest still further applications.
As shown schematically in Fig. 1, an optical tweezer forms when an intense beam of light is brought to a tight focus by a strongly converging lens, typically a microscope objective. Any collimated beam passing through the objective's back aperture, labeled B in Fig. 1, comes to a focus in its object plane (OP) and forms a trap. Beams passing obliquely through B form traps displaced from the center of the object plane.n
However, this very efficacy leads to a problem. Particles tend to occupy the outer regions of HOT patterns first, blocking access to the inner traps and preventing them from filling. Fortunately, a convenient solution presents itself.
The object lens, L2, of the telescope forms a conjugate (OP) to OP in which each trapping beam comes to a separate focus. Their separation in OP, moreover, is magnified by the ratio of L2's focal length to the objective's. Blocking an individual beam in OP extinguishes the corresponding trap in OP. A simple knife edge can block all but one row of a trapping pattern, exposing those tweezers to the population of particles until they are full. Retracting the knife edge systematically exposes more of the pattern until the entire array is filled, as shown in Fig. 2. The process can be hastened by flowing particles past the exposed traps with a pressure differential, through electrophoresis or electro-osmosis, using a temperature gradient, or by translating the entire pattern through the suspension like a fishing net. Starting from a particle concentration on the order of , a reasonable flow rate of 100 /sec reliably fills one line of a pattern such as that in Fig. 2 in less than a minute. Comparably good results can be achieved with larger, aperiodic, and three-dimensional HOT arrays.
A completed pattern can be made permanent by transferring it onto a substrate, or by gelling the suspending fluid. Each tweezer then can be used to optically interrogate its particle, for instance to implement optical transport or microrheological measurements. Blocking patterns of beams in OP then would make possible an entire array of -body measurements. Local-scale gelling or deposition can be repeated to build up larger, more complex arrangements of particles.
Cycling a pattern of beam blocks in OP also can convert a static HOT array into a dynamic particle manipulator, suitable for pumping or sorting particles in the nanometre to micrometre size range. A liquid-crystal spatial light modulator could be used to create a changing pattern of beam blocks, although quite sophisticated effects can be obtained with mechanical shutters.
Matthew Dearing and Steven Sheets fabricated the holographic beam splitter for this study using techniques described in Ref. [3]. This work was supported by the NSF, by a Fellowship from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and by an award from the Research Corporation.

The Dept. Of Defense has rewritten its "law of war" manual and included "belligerent" journalists as potential targets
According to a book rereleased by the Pentagon for all military branches, journalists can now be labeled as "unprivileged belligerents" that can be treated the same as a military soldier.
The Department Of Defense Law Of War Manual details the methods used to take out enemies, which happens to include a separate section on journalists and why they can be considered "unprivileged belligerents". This term replaces the George W. Bush-era term "unlawful enemy combatants".
In the almost 1,200 page manual, it states,
"In general, journalists are civilians. However, journalists may be members of the armed forces, persons authorized to accompany the armed forces, or unprivileged belligerents…"
Before now, all of the branches of military were responsible for writing and documenting their own rules of engagement, which, of course, did not mention journalists as possible traitors.

Although the Gleeks are still holding on, for a third straight night, 8 PM TV shows showed declines across the board. Could it be that viewers are adjusting to daylight saving time? Or is there some other hidden issues?
Last night, TV usage was down 6% in the hour week-to-week, likely affecting Fox's Glee and NBC's The Biggest Loser, the only new offerings at 8 PM.
The mini-finale of Glee (4.0/13, 12.5 million), which officially starts a month-long hiatus before returning for its last batch of episodes for the season, was down 13% from last week.
The good news? Glee was the highest-rated program of the night in the 18-49 demo.
At 9 PM, Raising Hope (2.5/7) was down 7%, but struggling mid-season comedy Traffic Light (1.6/5) reversed its ratings downslide, up 7% from last week. Fox (2.3/7, 6.6 million) won the night in 18-49. I'm personally pulling for Raising Hope which is my new favorite laugh out loud show.
Following a No Ordinary Family repeat (0.9/3), the season finale of V (1.8/5) was up 6% from last week (though down 14% from last year's finale.) V had a very depressing ending. The aliens turned all the humans into zombies. Were the writers taking a page from AMC's zombie hit? V's finale plot was a big contrast with the uplifting conclusion of Glee with the club winning at regionals and getting a big trophy.
At 10 PM, Detroit 1-8-7 (1.3/4) was up 18% but it is probably too late to save the cop drama which has been rumored to be slated for cancellation.
NBC's two-hour The Biggest Loser: Couples (2.7/8) was down 7% from last week. It was followed by a repeat of America's Next Great Restaurant. CBS (10.8 million, 1.9/6) aired all repeats, but topping the night in total viewers. CBS is definitely doing something right with their reruns.

Table of Contents1- Preface 2- Why You Need YouTube SEO in 2019? 3- YouTube SEO in 2019: How to Find Video Keywords 4- Optimize Videos: YouTube SEO Ranking Factors 4.1- Meta Data 4.2- Engagement Metrics 4.3- Subtitles and Closed Captions 4.4- Watch time 4.5- Video Quality 4.6- Video Thumbnails 4.7- Channel's Authority 5- Conclusion Preface:It is often stated that YouTube is the world's second largest search engine.In fact, YouTube has 1.5 billion logged-in monthly users viewing mobile videos.What does all that mean?YouTube can be a huge traffic source for your business if you rank on the TOP when a prospect searches on YouTube for a keyword related to your business.How can you dominate YouTube video search?The answer is YouTube SEO.Why You Need YouTube SEO in 2019?According to a report published in Statista, YouTube was the third most popular mobile app in the US as of December 2016. In addition, more than 400 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube every minute, as mentioned in the same report.These stats assert that there is a fierce competition on YouTube, and you need to stand out from the crowd if you truly want to leverage the power of this ever-popular video sharing platform.Like Google SEO, YouTube SEO will help gain high ranking, above your competitors.Here is a systematic YouTube SEO guide to outrank your competitors' videos on YouTube:YouTube SEO in 2019: How to Find Video KeywordsNow, you must be thinking that why you need to look out for video keywords. My friend, if you want your videos to be featured in Google search results as well, you need to search for video keywords.If you google for a keyword 'how to play pokemon go', you will most probably get a YouTube video in Google's Featured Snippet.A YouTube video also features in Google search results if you search for 'wordpress tutorial'.These keywords 'wordpress tutorial' and 'how to play pokemon go' are called video keywords.Simply put, video keywords are keywords for those you have YouTube results on the first page of Google.Usually, Google tends to show video search results for the following type of search queries: • Tutorials • How to keywords • Detailed reviews • Anything related to exerciseWhy is it important to find videos keywords?With the right video keyword, you can get lots of traffic to your YouTube videos directly from Google.If you think finding video keywords is a difficult task, you are absolutely wrong.In fact, the process is simple – What you have to do is to find out keywords in your niche that have at least 500 searches and Google shows video results for these keywords.Suppose, you sell fishing rods and want to create a useful content around it.Let us find out how much traffic this keyword has.Fishing rod has 10k-100k average monthly searches. Now, let us see how this keyword can get YouTube videos in the search results.Here is what I get when I searched for 'how to choose a fishing rod.'Two results are YouTube videos.This is how you can search for video keywords in your niche.Next, I will discuss what affects the ranking of YouTube videos.Optimize Videos: YouTube SEO Ranking FactorsGoogle has backlinks and other signals to assess the quality of a content piece. However, YouTube does not have many signals to evaluate the quality of video content.The only way in which YouTube can assess the quality of its videos is how viewers interact with videos.Here are a few factors that you must take into consideration if you want to dominate YouTube ranking:1- Meta DataIt is important that you should optimize Meta data for your YouTube videos. Though YouTube ranking depends largely on engagement metrics, getting Meta data right complements it.Here is how you can optimize Meta data of your YouTube videos:Video File NameAfter you complete the shooting of your video, you should include a keyword in the file name. Though it does not affect the ranking, there is no harm in doing so.Video TitleYou must include a keyword in the title of your video. Like web content,you should use a keyword in the beginning of your title.Two out of the three top results on YouTube have the exact title as the search quarry.h2DescriptionYour video description is important. An optimized description of your YouTube video helps Google and YouTube rank your video higher. In addition, optimized description helps your video appear in the suggested videos.Here are a few tips on optimizing the description of your YouTube video: • Include keyword in the beginning of your description • Ensure keyword frequency around 1-2% • Put the link of your website at the top to boost CTR • Provide links to your social profiles and tell viewers what they will get after subscribing your channelFollow these practices to get your Meta Data optimized for YouTube SEO in 2019.2- Engagement MetricsEngagement metrics play an important role in YouTube ranking.Here are engagement pointers that you should work upon:ViewsLet us analyze the top five results for 'how to choose a fishing rod'You can yourself find out that YouTube views matter in ranking.How would you increase views of your YouTube video?Following are a few proven ways to increasing views of YouTube videos: • Embed your video in your blog posts • Provide a link to your video in your email signature • Mention your video on Quora and other Q&A sites • Promote your Video on social mediaIt is advised that you should always try to gain organic views only.Thumbs-upI do not have to explain this as it is self-explanatory.More thumbs-up mean you have created informative, engaging video and viewers liked it. This is what YouTube wants.Let us analyze the thumps of the top three YouTube results for 'how to choose a fishing rod'These top results have a good number of thumbs-up. You cannot do anything to get more thumbs-up, except making informative, engaging videos.Also, you should try to increase views of your videos. The more views you get, the more it increases the chances to get thumbs-up.SharesThough we can debate on how social signals help a web page rank on Google, social media shares affect YouTube ranking. When somebody shares your video, it clearly means that person liked your video.Bumper social media sharing can improve YouTube video ranking.Here are a few tips on increasing social shares of your YouTube video: • You should write a blog post around your video and tell your subscribers about it • Post the link of your video on social media platforms • Submit your video to stumble uponYou can also request your viewers to share the video at the end of the play.CommentsComments are a very strong ranking factor for YouTube SEO in 2019.When people comment on your video, you should reply to them. This is the only way to boost engagement on your post.Subscriber after watchingIf somebody subscribes your video right after watching, it sends YouTube a signal that your video is of high-quality and serves the purpose. Even if people choose to watch it later, it is a strong signal for YouTube to consider the video of high-quality.3- Subtitles and Closed CaptionsAccording to a study, adding subtitles and closed captions increases video views significantly.Advantage?It will help in YouTube SEO as video views are a part of engagement metrics.What's more, subtitles and closed captions enable deaf people to understand your video, meaning enhanced user experience. YouTube loves the content with the enhanced user experience.YouTube loves the content with the enhanced user experience.If you do not have a caption file, you can upload a transcript. YouTube will automatically synchronize it with the video. The process is quite easy.Though YouTube has a feature to provide caption automatically, you should avoid it as it is often riddled with mistakes.4- Watch timeAccording to YouTube,"We've started adjusting the ranking of videos in YouTube search to reward engaging videos that keep viewers watching. The experimental results of this change have proven positive — less clicking, more watching. We expect the amount of time viewers spend watching videos from search and across the site to increase."So, my friend, YouTube watch time is a ranking factor now.Do not get confused – YouTube watch time is not the length of a video.What is watch time actually?YouTube defines it as,"The amount of time in aggregate that your viewers are watching your videos…"Watch time has nothing to do with the length of a video.How can you increase watch time?There is no shortcut – you need to create videos that are engaging enough to hold the attention of your viewers.Also, offering liner-viewing experience and using annotations are a good way to increase watch time.5- Video QualityDoes video quality matter?The answer is YES.Brian Dean analyzed 1.3 million YouTube videos and found that HD videos appear significantly more often than SD videos on the first page. Image source: BacklinkoHenceforth, start creating HD videos for YouTube to get top ranking.6- Video ThumbnailsThough video thumbnails do not play a direct role in YouTube SEO in 2019, using them improves ranking indirectly.How?Video thumbnails enable viewers to take a quick snapshot of your videos while they are browsing through YouTube results.In other words, video thumbnails work as marketing posters for YouTube videos. By using eye-catchy video thumbnails, you boost the chances to get your videos clicked. This means engaging thumbnails increase the views of your videos, thereby improving the ranking of your YouTube videos.Here are the top three tips on creating super engaging thumbnails for your YouTube videos: • Never use default thumbnails provided by YouTube. Instead, create thumbnails that build anticipation • Never forget to use an engaging title graphic in your thumbnails • Create a thumbnail with a contextual background7- Channel's AuthorityI have analyzed thousands of YouTube channels and found that authority does not have any direct role in YouTube SEO in 2019. However, it indirectly plays a role in YouTube ranking.How?People consider videos from a popular, established channel to be engaging, they are more likely to watch videos from these channels until the end.Putting it in other words, videos from reputed YouTube channel enjoy more views and watch time than a lesser-known channel. More views mean better ranking.Try to build authority for your channel. This will give you dividends in long run.Conclusion:YouTube SEO in 2019 will be different from Google SEO. You need to focus more on engagement metrics if you want to have the top YouTube rank. Follow the best practices mentioned in this article. They will certainly help you get the top ranking.Do you want to share any YouTube SEO tip today? Leave it in the comment section. I would love to know it.

Aquatic invasive: $29.95
It's no hassle to get on the Internet and buy a kit containing adorable tadpoles from the Florida-based Grow-a-Frog company. But this is something the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks hopes you'll never, ever do. The company may say that the animals merely morph into baby froglets that only hop around in the water, but once released in the wild by negligent owners, African clawed frogs can survive for up to 15 years, attaining the size of bulbous bullfrogs and decimating native wildlife, reports the AP. Montana prohibited the clawed frogs in 2005, but found out this fall that 65 Grow-a-Frog customers lived in Montana. The state wrote each one, saying owners needed either to return the frogs to the company or kill them. Whatever frog owners chose to do, one state official cautioned: "Please don't flush them down the toilet. These critters are very adaptable. They could live in the sewer system." The owner of the Grow-a-Frog company, who has agreed to pay Nevada a $3,600 fine for selling the exotic animals there, said he'd only recently learned of Montana's ban. Ten other states besides Montana prohibit the invasive species.

Bíblia NSB
2 Samuel 6
1 Once again David called together the best soldiers in Israel, a total of thirty thousand men.
2 He led them to Baalah in Judah, in order to bring the Ark of the Covenant bearing the name of Jehovah of Hosts, whose throne is above the winged creatures.
3 They took it from Abinadabs home on the hill and placed it on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the cart.
4 Ahio walked in front.
5 David and all the Israelites danced and sang with all their might to honor Jehovah. They played harps, lyres, drums, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
6 As they came to the threshing place of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out and took hold of the Ark of the Covenant.
7 At once Jehovah God became angry with Uzzah. He killed him because of his irreverence. Uzzah died there beside the Ark of the Covenant.
8 Because of that the place has been called Perez Uzzah breakthrough of Uzzah ever since. David was furious because Jehovah punished Uzzah in anger.
9 Then David was afraid of Jehovah and said: »How can I take the Ark of the Covenant with me now?«
10 So he decided not to take it with him to Jerusalem. Instead, he turned off the road and took it to the house of Obed Edom, a native of the city of Gath.
11 The Ark of Jehovah stayed at the home of Obed Edom from Gath for three months. Jehovah blessed Obed Edom and his whole family.
12 King David was told: »Jehovah has blessed Obed Edoms home and everything he owns because of the Ark of God.« Then David joyfully went to get the Ark of God from Obed Edoms house and bring it to the City of David.
13 When those who carried the Ark of Jehovah walked six steps, David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.
14 Wearing a linen ephod, David danced in Jehovahs presence with all his might.
15 He and the entire nation of Israel brought the Ark of Jehovah with shouts of joy and the sounding of rams horns.
16 When the Ark of Jehovah came to the City of David, Sauls daughter Michal looked out of a window and saw King David leaping and dancing in Jehovahs presence. She despised him in her heart.
17 The men carrying the Ark set it in its place inside the tent David put up for it. David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in Jehovahs presence.
18 David finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings. Then he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of Hosts.
19 He also distributed to all the people, to the whole crowd of Israelites, men and women, one loaf of bread, one date cake, and one raisin cake. Then all the people went home.
20 David went home so he could ask Jehovah to bless his family. But Sauls daughter Michal went out and started yelling at him: »You were really great today!« She said. »You acted like a dirty old man. You danced around half-naked in front of your servants slave-girls.«
21 David answered: »I danced to honor Jehovah. He chose me to be king instead of your father and his family. He made me the leader of his people Israel. I will continue to dance and honor Jehovah.
22 »I will disgrace myself even more. You may think I am nothing, but those women think highly of me!«
23 Michal, Sauls daughter, never had any children.

This is one of the most common questions I receive when conducting an interview with a client in connection with the preparation of their tax returns. At first, the answer seems quite obvious, "of course you need to keep the receipts." However, this answer should really be expanded to say "Yes, you need to keep the receipts and mileage logs if you want to deduct the expenses on your return." In other words, if you decide to forgo the deduction, then the IRS really does not care if you keep the receipts or logs.
Let's take a closer look at this question. In most cases, the client is referring to receipts for charitable donations and log books for the business use of a personal automobile. The requirements for documenting these deductions are summarized below. As with all tax issues, you should contact your tax advisor to determine the impact this may have on your income tax returns.
For charitable donations, the first thing that must be determined is the form of the donation. A distinction is made between cash donations (which includes donations made using cash, a check or a debit or credit card) and non-cash donations. For cash donations of less than $250, the taxpayer must maintain a bank record, which may be a cancelled check, bank statement or credit card statement, showing the donation or a receipt, letter or other form of communication from the donee, including the donee's name, address, date of contribution and amount of the contribution. For donations in excess of $250, the taxpayer must have a contemproaneous written acknowledgement from the donee organization. The receipt must include the amount contributed, a good faith estimate of the value of anything given to the donor in exchange for the donation (such as a meal) and, if the donee provided any intangible religeous benefits, a statement to that effect. It should be noted that the purchase of raffle tickets or purchase price for items purchased at a charitable auction are not deductible as charitable donations. The exception would be the amount paid for the auction item that is in excess of the item's fair market value.
Non-cash charitable donations have their own set of documentation requirements. These requirements are somewhat complicated, and you should discuss any non-cash donations with your tax preparer. The thing to remember is that every non-cash donation must be supported by some form of acknowledgement from the donee. Even for donations which are less than $250, the taxpayer must have a written receipt from the donee or, if it is not practical to get a receipt, a detailed list of the items donated, the date donated and the fair market value at the date of donation. The requirements become much more strict for larger donations of non-cash items.
What about mileage logs? As with all deductions, it is the responsibility of the taxpayer to substantiate the amount claimed as a deduction on the tax return. With respect to the business use of an automobile, the best evidence is a contemporaneous mileage log. The log should show the actual miles driven and the business purpose of the trip. In an audit situation, the IRS will also ask for some form of verification of the total miles driven during the year. This can be accomplished by showing a vehicle service receipt near the beginning and end of the year. The best way of substantiating the business mileage would be to maintain a log throughout the entire year. However, as long as a log is maintained in such a manner as to represent a representative sample of the business miles driven, the total business miles driven can be calculated using the percentage from the sample period. While it may be possible to support the deduction in other ways, keeping an accurate, timely log will make the substantiation much easier.
While this is an overview of the substantiation requirements for these two items, it can safely be said the taking a few extra minutes to document and save the support for these items can reap huge benefits if the IRS questions the deductions.

The Skinny on Counting Carbs or Calories to Lose Weight
Posted in
Today we have a post from our guest blogger, Karen Massey, RD, LD, who is a registered dietitian at INTEGRIS, where she has been a community nutrition dietitian for more than 25 years. Karen's primary role is helping people (employees, patients and members of the community) prevent or delay chronic disease by making healthier food choices.
Did you know that keeping a food diary is one of your most powerful tools to make dietary changes? As my colleague Brent Wilson wrote in yesterday's I On Your Health blog post, you will be amazed at the difference keeping a food log can make in your journey to better health.
Today, it's easier than ever before to keep track of what you eat because nutrition information is literally at our fingertips! For example:
- If you google "calories in a banana" you'll get more than 13 million results in half a second.
- There are hundreds of apps for tracking your food intake, including myfitnesspal, Lose It! and CalorieKing.
- Legislation calling for restaurants and vending machines to post nutrition information is gaining widespread popularity with many states already requiring it.
- 95 percent of all products in grocery stores have a Nutrition Facts label.
- For the nostalgic among us, hard copy calorie books still exist.
What Should I Count?
Unfortunately, it might be confusing to have so much information readily available. You might be wondering: What should I focus on? Should I count carbs or calories?
Well, the answer depends on your personal goals. For most people, their first priority is probably weight-related, given that almost 70 percent of the nation is overweight. Losing weight, even if only a few pounds, can decrease the risk of many health problems, like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and orthopedic issues such as sore knees and lower back pain.
While counting carbs or counting calories can give you a caloric deficit, which means either can be effective for weight loss, consuming fewer calories than you use is the most important factor in losing weight. So for most people, counting calories is the logical option and it's what I recommend.
Counting Calories is Easy and Effective
As I mentioned, the most direct way to address body weight is to focus on calories, and it's easy because there is only one number to tally. It's effective because when you count calories you are, in fact, counting all the sources of calories simultaneously.
Put simply, there are four sources of calories in the human diet -- fat, carbohydrate, protein and alcohol. But calories are calories. Whether you consume calories from carbohydrates, fats, proteins or alcohol, anything that you don't burn will be stored in your body, and an excess of storage leads to weight gain. (By the way, in case you are wondering, fat has nine calories per gram, carbohydrate and protein have four, and alcohol yields about seven calories per gram).
Counting total calories is efficient because you're rolling them all into one list instead of trying to add each one separately. And as I said before, in the end, weight loss comes down to one factor: the ratio of calories in (through eating) to calories out (what your body burns). In order to lose one pound, it's estimated that you must burn 3,500 calories. In other words, if you eliminated 500 calories from your diet per day, you'd lose one pound in a week.
Counting Calories Meets You Where You Already Are
Food preferences are acquired over the years, and are highly influenced by our surroundings, family, friends, mood and taste perceptions. Essentially, this is why specific diets don't work for everyone. No one gains excess body weight by eating foods they don't like.
For those who gain their excess body weight by overeating ribeyes, bacon and cheese, going on a low-carb diet won't help much, because you're not eating carbs, anyway. Similarly, people who gain weight by eating too much bread, pasta and sweets aren't likely to do well on a low-fat diet since many high-carb foods are already low in fat. A beer drinker isn't going to lose his beer belly unless he addresses his beer calories. And, (obviously) going on a beer-free diet isn't going to help someone who doesn't drink beer.
So, to wrap up, counting calories cuts to the chase. It's the straightest path to achieving your personal weight goals and I heartily recommend it!

Imposition on tariffs on goods imported from China will have a negative impact on the United States itself and the rest of the world said expert on international trade
Imposition on tariffs on goods imported from China will have a negative impact on the United States itself and the rest of the world and it is US consumers and businesses that will ultimately have to pay for the additional tariffs imposed by the United States to goods imported from China, said expert on international trade on Wednesday.
The expert made the remarks during an interview with the China Central Television (CCTV) in response to the decision by the US administration of President Donald Trump to increase the additional tariffs on 200 billion US dollars' worth of Chinese goods from 10 per cent to 25 per cent on May 10, and has threatened to raise tariffs on more Chinese imports.
Brian Peck, director of the Center for Transnational Law and Business with the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law said: "Despite what President Trump said, claiming that the Chinese pay the tariff on Chinese imports to the United States, it's, in fact, US consumers and businesses that have to pay them. Tariffs are tax, the tax on imports, so the receivers of those goods are the ones that have to pay the tax. It US consumers and businesses."
He said, "These are things consumers buy on a daily basis and they are going to have a significant price increase because of these tariff raises. So that's going to have a negative impact on consumer spending; business investment decisions will have to put on hold; global supply chains also can be negatively affected. So the longer it prolongs, the more of negative impact will have on the US economy."
Peck said, "I think the other sector that is deeply hurt by these tariffs is the US farmers, especially soybean farmers, because they are a losing tremendous amount of sales to the Chinese market, it has been replaced by other suppliers from other parts of the world. So now there is an immediate negative impact on farmers, but over the long term, they may have lost its market for good."
Peck said, "The International Monetary Fund, the IMF, has reported that global expansion decreased dramatically when this tariff war started last year. And its expected growth rate for this year has been significantly reduced because of the prolonged trade war," he added.

Cerruti is an Italian fashion house whose roots are in the textiles industry. In 1881, brothers Stefano, Antonio and Quintino Cerruti opened Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti, a textile mill specializing in wool, in the small town of Biella. The business is passed down to Antonio's son, Silvio, but his untimely death in 1950 results in the business being run by his son, Nino Cerruti, then just 20 years old. Nino introduces modern techniques to the mill, and the results are successful enough that the operation is expanded to two additional factories.
Nino's interest moves from textiles to fashion design, and his first men's collection, titled "Hitman," is introduced in 1957.
The brand Cerruti was officially launched in Paris in 1967, with the opening of a boutique at Place de la Madeleine. Both menswear and womenswear are created using fabrics produced at the Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti. Cerruti becomes known for its exquisite fabrics and clean cuts. Classic wool suits were a specialty of the house, and designer Giorgio Armani designed for the Hitman and Cerruti labels early in his career.
Over the years, Cerruti expanded to offer Cerruti 1881 (the diffusion line), a luxury ready-to-wear collection named Cerruti Arte, Cerruti Jeans, the Cerruti Brothers business collection for men, and Cerruti 1881 Shapes (for the Asian market). All the clothing lines were eventually folded into the Cerruti 1881 label. Cerruti remains a preferred clothier for stars and frequently provides designs and garments for use in films.
Fragrances were an early and important part of the Cerruti brand. The company's first fragrance, Nino Cerruti for Men, introduced in 1978, is the first in a long line of classic fragrances. The first women's scent, Nino Cerruti Pour Femme, was launched in 1987.
Nino Cerruti retired from the fashion house in 2000 in order to focus on the textile business. The house continues today under the creative direction of Jesper Borjesson (menswear) and Richard Nicoll (womenswear). Cerruti fragrances are still in production today, under the Cerruti and Cerruti 1881 brands, in conjunction with Coty.
Designer Cerruti has 31 perfumes in our fragrance base. Cerruti is an old perfume house. The earliest edition was created in 1881 and the newest is from 2016. Cerruti fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Claire Cain, Ursula Wandel, Olivier Cresp, Aurelien Guichard, Annick Menardo, Lucas Sieuzac, Martin Gras, Michel Girard, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Yann Vasnier, Beatrice Piquet, Norbert Bijaoui, Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, Amandine Marie, Gilles Romey, Jean-Pierre Bethouart, Harry Fremont, Antoine Lie and Jean-Claude Delville.

January 13, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – The Muslim Brotherhood movement in Sudan announced today that it will not participate the April general elections calling it a "useless" exercise in light of the atmosphere that makes results known beforehand.
In a statement, the group said it was the first to call for national reconciliation on the basis of the nation's supreme interests and issues.
It added that they were always of the view that no one faction can solve Sudan's crises alone and that the only route to resolve them is through genuine national dialogue that includes all pillars of the society.
"Dialogue cannot be held except in a free atmosphere where people can obtain their rights guaranteed by religion and constitution in expressing their views verbally in forums or in writing in newspapers or through protests or peaceful rallies and marches," the statement reads.
"Dialogue entered by everyone in which they are ready to pay its necessary dues and make concessions required for the sake of the country, and of course, the first by nature of responsibility required to pay dues and make concessions, is the ruling party," it adds.
The group stressed that elections should have been a subsequent phase that is reached after transitioning from a one party state to a nation of laws and bipartisan institutions that would oversee elections in a fair and unbiased manner on the basis of an elections law that guarantees fairness.
"As none of this happened and since the call for elections became the highest ceiling and an ultimate goal, we in the Muslim Brotherhood announce our boycott of the upcoming elections in April 2015," the group's statement said.
"We are supported by a popular general feeling of the uselessness of these elections, which are held in a reality that makes results settled before it begins and therefore they will be nothing but large [amount of] money spent and return to usual faces and policies," it adds.
Most of Sudan's major opposition parties are refusing to participate in the April ballot, saying the ruling party holds absolute control over power and refuses to make any compromise to end the civil war and allow public liberties.
They have proposed forming a transitional government and holding a national conference with the participation of rebel groups to discuss a peaceful solution for the conflicts in Darfur region, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states
