The OnePlus One has some really notable features. It runs a sort-of forked version of Android called CyanogenMod, which enables some functionality we wish that regular native Android would adopt. The OnePlus One itself has a nice look and feel to it, too, and even though its staggered and delayed rollout might be frustrating for those waiting to buy the phone, it's still got plenty of winning points.
We'll followup in the coming weeks with a full-blown review of the alleged "flagship killer," but for now here are five features we immediately wish Google would implement in stock Android.
Easy themes
Imagine not having to root your phone or install a launcher just to add some pizazz to your mobile device's mobile interface. I like that about the OnePlus One, though this particular element is actually a part of CyanogenMod 11S. You can customize every nook and cranny of the interface, down to the animation that pops up when you boot the phone. And unlike some other apps that work with non-rooted Android devices, the theme is applied system-wide, so the icons on your Home screen match what's in the application drawer.
My only concern with the theming capabilities on the OnePlus One is that it's hard to find a theme I like that was compatible with CM11's theming engine. Perusing through the compatible themes can be a muddy road to navigate, and I can't imagine handing this phone over to someone who is not very tech-savvy and asking them to customize their phone. Also, most of the icon packs that are worth installing aren't free.
User-friendly privacy settings
With all the hubbub about Android being unsafe and third-party sources spying on your precious data, it's nice to see a section devoted entirely to privacy settings on the OnePlus One.
It's relatively user-friendly, too; every option offers an explanation of what you can tweak, so even if you're not sure of what you're protecting yourself from, you can at least keep apps from accessing sensitive data, or blacklist any incoming calls and messages from specific phone numbers. And if you're really attempting to stay off the grid, the OnePlus One comes equipped with a feature called WhisperPush that lets you send encrypted text messages.
Live photo effects
I love to Instagram and post about every little social gathering, but I feel bad when I'm taking a break from my IRL friends to brag to my online friends about what I'm up to.
The OnePlus One's live camera filters help speed up that process, since you can see what the filters look like while you're lining up the shot. I do wish that they offered better looking filters, however, like VSCO Cam's.
Profiles for anyone and anything
The OnePlus One's built-in profiles are extremely handy. You can set one up for a specific person or for various situations. Each profile lets you choose the connection and volume overrides so you can save on data or ignore your phone after a hard day at work. You can also create "app groups" so that only certain apps appear on the Home screen. When you're done, you can write the profile to an NFC tag embedded somewhere in your home so you can tap the tag to engage the profile, or have it registered to a specific Wi-Fi network. Alternatively, you can also pin the Profiles option to your Quick Settings.
Google's Android only equips tablet devices with multiuser capabilities, which is a bit of a bummer. But with the OnePlus One, you can use Profiles to share your phone with kids or relatives, and then restrict them so that they can only use a few apps, and only on Wi-Fi.
A flashlight
All I've ever wanted out of Android is an easy-access button in the Quick Settings shade to turn on the LED flash so I can navigate my way down the stairs en route to yoga class in the early mornings. There are plenty of third-party apps in the Google Play store that offer this and not every Android device is equipped with a rear-facing flash module, but it should be a standard part of AOSP (Android Open Source Project) to make that function readily available for phones with the right hardware.
The One Plus One is equipped with plenty of other wonderful features, as well as some that aren't so handy. Stay tuned for our full review in the coming weeks.

Sixteen-year-old Jamie Harrington's heartwarming story was recently posted on the Humans of Dublin Facebook page.
The Ballymun, Ireland resident was on his way to buy Gatorade when he saw a man sitting on the ledge of a bridge over the River Liffey.
Most people in that situation would figure, it's none of my business. I don't want to bother him. It's probably fine.
But Harrington isn't most people.
Meet the boy who saved a man from suicide with three simple words http://t.co/aXU9TrIJjW pic.twitter.com/FAWGbGpLUC — The Independent (@Independent)
August 5, 2015
He stopped and asked the man is he was all right, and though he didn't say anything, Harrington could tell from the tears in his eyes that something was terribly wrong.
After much pleading, Harrington was able to convince the man to come off the ledge and sit with him.
"We sat on the sidewalk on the south side of the Liffey and talked for about 45 minutes, about what was happening to him, why was he feeling that way..."

Eventually, Harrington had to go, but he didn't want to leave the man alone. He insisted on calling an ambulance, even though the man told him he'd be fine.
"I told him to please let me ring an ambulance, that I wouldn't sleep knowing he was just walking around alone. So I rang it."
The man was taken to St. James Hospital, where he received treatment. Harrington kept in touch, just to see how he was doing.
Then, three months ago, the man texted him with some incredible news.
His wife is pregnant. They're having a boy. And they're naming him Jamie, after Harrington.
"He said in that moment that I approached him, he was just about to jump, and those few words saved his life. That they're still ringing in his head every day. "Are you okay?" I can't really understand how these few words could save his life, but he told me, "Imagine if nobody ever asked you those words..."
A single gesture of kindness saved a life, and made another one possible.

I recently was out with a friend and totally hit it off with a guy she knew. He was slow to warm up, but I was very interested in learning about him and directed most of the conversation around his life. After this he followed me around the rest of the night. He asked if he could walk me to my car at the end of the night and I agreed. I could tell he was nervous and when he asked for a goodnight kiss, I responded by planting a warm affectionate kiss on him and then gently pulled away. He was grinning ear to ear! And as I got in my car, he asked with a very shaky voice if he could have my number. We swapped numbers, and I was thrilled! I loved the fact that he was more on the shy side and soft spoken. It never dawned on me that 9 days would go by without so much as a word from him!I tend to live by the theory that if he's not calling then he's just not that into you... But I simply cannot accept that this time around. The mistake I feel I potentially could have made was adding him to Facebook. He accepted, but still, no communication. I am stumped by this one. Help!
Most Helpful Guy
Mistake, adding someone on face book? are you serious? who cares. Its the internet.
Look, if you really want there are companies out there that sell people "friends" to be added to face book. You can get like a thousand friends or something for a cost. I don't know how much cause I don't care. The point its, who gives a damn. If you are judging someone or anyone on their face book status... something is seriously screwed up with you.
Anyways, You are not bad to look at so I'm sure he's just nervous or shy. He may just think that he doesn't have a shot with you and why bother to call.
Let me tell you this, when I was younger about 10 years ago before I knew how to be social, I went to a club, which was one of the first times I had ever been to one.
There was this girl, and she was a model, were talking perfect body, perfect face... stunning in every way possible.
I was standing on the dance floor minding my own business and she looks at me, smiles, and then starts walking over to me.
I then proceeded to start moving away.
Then she started moving closer.. the whole time smiling at me. And the whole time, I'm trying to avoid eye contact. (I was so nervous I couldn't believe it.. if my sweat were bullets it would have been a massacre.)
Eventually she kept moving closer and asked "will you PLEASE dance with me?" I said ok... nervously and stood there while she danced in front of me and I walked off... the SECOND the song was over. I saw her a few years later and had my way with her sexually... but that's not the point.
The point is, sometimes guys will do things like not even bothering to show interest at all, if he thinks he doesn't stand a chance. Your not super hot mind you, but you are hot enough that he may be thinking that.
You may try and contact him through face book since its a little more safe for him to talk.
He can feel safe cause he's hiding behind a computer screen.
Try contacting him through face book or via email, or some kind of internet messaging thing.
If you call him, he's just going to be nervous as hell so I don't recommend that. (he'd be flattered as hell, but tongue tied, and he's probably going to feel like an ass.)
Im pretty sure he probably thinks you don't like him. After all, when many guys realize that they are nervous around a girl, they assume they blew it. Because women want the confident, self assured man. Not the shy ones.
Plus you pulled away.
Go the internet route. He needs to know you like him.
Dont worry this won't make you a slut if you do, and yes he will still respect you.

The INTA Bulletin, Vol. 64, No. 9 (1 May 2009) reports that this February, ten years after it was enacted, Dominica's new trade mark legislation -- the Marks, Collective Marks and Trade Names Act 1999 -- finally came into force. Under this law the Dominican registry becomes independent of the UK system and the latest edition of the Nice Classification is adopted. Additionally, registration of service marks is provided for.
The note reminds readers that Dominica, a common law jurisdiction and a member of the Commonwealth, should not be confused with the similarly-named Dominican Republic.

Hi, Just found your wonderful blog. Is there a patent law in force in Dominica? I know they are member to the PCT, but do not know if a national application can be filed. If you can point me to any published laws, that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks again!

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Angela Tincher is larger than life on the softball field, an irresistible force who transforms the ball into an immovable object as it passes through the strike zone.
She added to her growing canon of legendary feats Sunday, pitching back-to-back complete games against heavily favored Michigan to lead unseeded Virginia Tech to the program's first appearance in the Women's College World Series. With no margin for error after a 1-0 loss Saturday in the opening game of the best-of-three Ann Arbor Super Regional, Tincher threw pitch after pitch -- well over 200 in all -- past almost uniformly baffled Wolverines.
But as superhuman as Tincher seems when the ball begins dancing to her whims, she's equally at home among a roster of Hokies who were lightly recruited, dismissed or ignored before becoming the first ACC team to reach Oklahoma City. Even though she foreshadowed her most famous performance by striking out three Olympians in an exhibition the summer before she arrived at Virginia Tech, Tincher was far less of a recruiting catch than any of the aces she'll potentially square off against this week.
"Some people would probably call us overachievers," coach Scot Thomas said after his team advanced. "But the blood and guts of this team is walk-ons, and people who were passed over and people didn't want them. And we were fortunate enough to have them."
And so many of them contributed to Sunday's surprising 1-0 and 6-1 wins.
Success came from catcher Kelsey Hoffman calling a masterful game behind the plate. (After retiring Samantha Findlay for the final time on a groundout in the final inning of the second game, Tincher spun toward her catcher, pointed at her and yelled, "Great call.")
It came from senior Caroline Stolle, who after battling foot problems during her career, fouled a ball off her foot, but shook it off and drew a walk.
And it came from Whitney Davis, a walk-on, who singled to start a four-run rally that broke open the second game and padded the lead with her first career home run an inning later.
"I think the kids stepped up," Thomas said. "Angela gets a lot of the spotlight and certainly deserves every bit of it, but we had some other kids stepping it up too. I'm glad to see somebody like Whitney really step out and get a little bit of the limelight."
However improbable the feat seemed as the stadium cleared out on Saturday afternoon, the Hokies advanced to the World Series because they made the most of their opportunity.
Julie Denney understands that all too well.
Two years ago, Virginia Tech wasn't even a blip on the radar for Julie and Rusty Denney. Softball was a big part of their lives, but it revolved less around college standings than on their daughter Adrianne as she worked her way through the amateur softball ranks. A pitcher who hit 65 mph on the radar gun with a trademark rise ball, Adrianne Denney led her high school team in Casey, Ill., to the state championship as a freshman. And even after her team lost that game, Adrianne assured her mom it was all right; she had three more chances to win it all.
Some people would probably call us overachievers. But the blood and guts of this team is walk-ons, and people who were passed over and people didn't want them. And we were fortunate enough to have them.
--Scot Thomas
Then one morning shortly thereafter, only hours after playing a volleyball match, she reported that her right arm felt cold. Tests eventually revealed that she suffered from thoracic outlet syndrome, the same condition that affected Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook. Adrianne underwent surgery to correct the problem only to later find it had returned. Sitting in a hospital bed while eating a banana after a second surgery a few months later, she felt something pop in the affected area and turned to her mom in alarm. An aneurysm eventually led to cardiac arrest, and while doctors were able to resuscitate her, they were unable to save her life in subsequent surgery.
On Nov. 30, 2006, exactly two months shy of her 16th birthday, Adrianne Denney passed away.
A few months later, still grieving the loss of her only child, Julie Denney turned on the television and saw the news of the shootings at Virginia Tech. She recalled feeling a sense of devastation for the families who suddenly faced the same impossible task she was struggling to overcome.
That was the first time Virginia Tech entered her mind, but it wasn't until another year passed when the school's softball team and its ace's signature performance helped the Denneys reconnect with the game that had united their family.
"This softball season, this is the second season's she missed -- she would have been a junior in high school," Julie Denney said. "This whole season was so hard for us, just to go on. But we watched Angela no-hit the Olympic team, and we hadn't really heard of her. So we went online and read a story in the Richmond Times about their whole family, how her dad had been on the driveway and practiced and practiced. And that was exactly the same story -- Adrianne and Rusty practiced on the driveway night after night. Sometimes Adrianne would get mad and I'd have to go referee, and it sounded like Angela's mom had to go referee. You don't get good at pitching unless you really practice at it. We just understood how much she worked at it."
Rusty Denney wanted to write a letter to let Tincher and the team know how much the performance had meant to the couple, but he struggled to find the right words to convey the kind of emotions for which no words serve as adequate substitute. Instead, not knowing anyone connected with the program, they decided to drive more than seven hours from Illinois to Knoxville to see Virginia Tech play in a regional hosted by the University of Tennessee.
They just wanted a chance to see the Hokies and possibly let them know how much the story meant. They didn't plan on staying beyond the first day of play. Instead, they found a group of Virginia Tech parents who were equally touched and welcomed them as family.
"[My dad] introduced me to them the game after they met them," Tincher said. "And I could tell it really touched my parents a lot. Just the story about a daughter, because we're so close, I could tell it really brought tears to both of their eyes. It was really emotional all the way around. Just to kind of think about someone that liked pitching like I do, and had something like that happen to her, really makes you appreciate what we're able to do and appreciate the opportunity I've had to pitch and be healthy."
Julie and Rusty Denney ended up staying for the whole weekend and made plans to drive to Ann Arbor for the super regional after the Hokies upset Tennessee. A group of Virginia Tech parents, including Denny Tincher (Angela's father) and Dana Hoffman (Kelsey's mother), set about acquiring some Hokies gear for them after Rusty Denney, a St. Louis Cardinals fan, arrived for the opening game of the regional against Louisville wearing the colors of the opposing team. By Sunday afternoon in Ann Arbor, both Julie and Rusty Denney were resplendent in maroon and burnt orange hats and shirts.
"People like this," Julie Denney said as she fought back tears, "really have helped us to make it."
In her hands, Julie Denney held a folder full of photos of Adrianne and articles about her athletic exploits. A bright-eyed blonde with a wide grin, Adrianne smiled out at teammates she never got a chance to meet. She never had an opportunity to play the game on its biggest stage.
But Julie and Rusty Denney will take her memory with them to Oklahoma City this week. The Denneys are part of the Virginia Tech family now. No amount of Tincher strikeouts or Virginia Tech wins will take away the pain of losing their only child, but watching a collection of players who turned their own countless hours in the driveway into opportunities seized in Knoxville and Ann Arbor at least allows them to return to the sport that provided so many of Adrianne's happiest moments.
Angela Tincher isn't really larger than life, but she and her teammates are reminders that none of us have enough time to take any opportunity for granted.

Discussion in 'RAW' started by Crayo, Jan 28, 2012.

Sigh. Sigh, sigh sigh.
Brodus is going to dance into the rumble? That made me happy. Mason Ryan is actually useless. He's got no charisma, mic skills or in ring ability.
I guess we'll have another "Too Cool" moment.
I don't enjoy the jiggling though.
Ring skills is Kayfabe. Mic skills, he hasn't had a chance to talk really. I found him quite good when he wrestled in FCW and for his country.
No it's not. He is a bad technical wrestler. Kayfabe he's booked as this mega-stong Batista. He's generally not a good wrestler though. He's had a couple mic segments, you can tell he's going to be Morrison 2.0.
Morrison was actually pretty good as a heel on the mic though. Especially in ECW.
He was entertaining, I think people overrate him in ECW because of how bad he was after. He had a funny gimmick, hell, I was laughing at most segments he had on "Dirt Sheet". But listen to them, he's never been good on the mic. He seems nervous, and his delivery tends to be poor.
He wasn't great alot of the time but he did show promise such as when he changed from Johnny Nitro to John Morrison.
Well he was a lot better than his latter self definitely. I could bare him then. Towards the end of his run I pretty much kept mistaken him for a diva.
Anyway, back to Ryan. I'm hoping this is just bs reports to be honest. Don't see why they're pushing him when Ryback is back.
He might be a bad technical wrestler, but he's a powerhouse.
The best part about the OP, is the part with Brodus Clay. Mason Ryan just looks like a watered down Batista.
I actually quiet liked Mason Ryan's push for some reason, it was somewhat entertaining for me.
I like these reports...Mason Ryan = something different to watch, unlike Brodus Clay...dances out squashes somebody with a belly flop and dances out...:/ how the hell is that good...
Ryan...yeah he does the whole powerhouse thing, but he actually puts on a wrestling match!
P.S Brodus entering at #2 (my guess)
Disagree. Brodus has a unique entertaining gimmick which has already got him really over. Ryan gets no reactions, he doesn't put on a wrestling match he just punches and then does finisher. I'd also like to see a longer Brodus match though. And agreed, Brodus at #2.
Mason Ryan is something different to watch? The big muscular tanned guy in black trunks. Yeah never seen that before....
I understand what you're trying to say here, but I kinda liked him, don't even know why, but he reminded me of the good old Batista, not in terms of skill, etc; just the way he was.
I saw this report to I hope its BS no need for another big guy especially one who seems weak in the ring! I'd rather see someone like Justin Gabriel get a push!

But when we see millions of tons of sea wateron earth being raised whenever the moon s overhead, we know, elementary, the gravitational field of the moon sucks/pulls and raises the electrically-conducive salty sea water on earth., thus, on gargantuan level, like giant suspended bodies in outer space, like the earth and moon, both bodies feel physically the force of attraction gravity.
Do we know what?.

Sai Dharam Tej and Mehrene Kaur are likely team up for BVS Ravi's upcoming action drama, which will go on the floors from August.
"The regular shooting will start from August, after Sai completes shooting for Supreme and Thikka. Mehrene, who impressed critics and audience alike in Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gaadha, has been finalised as the leading lady," a source close to the team revealed.
The rest of the cast is yet to be finalised. "The project will be bankrolled by a famous personality from Telugu fraternity," the source said. This will be Ravi's second directorial venture after 2011 Telugu actioner Wanted.
Apparently, Sai Dharam Tej is on a signing spree as he has half a dozen of projects in the line up, while two films are gearing up for a release.
Though the actor was supposed to team up with Dil Raju, for a film called Shatamanam Bhavati, in the direction of writer-turned-director Satish Vegesna, Raj Tarun replaced him, since the producer felt Sai Dharam Tej's popularity would be harmful for an experimental project like Shatamanam Bhavati.
Meanwhile, Sai Dharam Tej might as well sign a project with Gopichand Malineni, in the production of Tagore Madhu. Stay tuned to this space for more updates.

Almost new condition all metal original, came off my 1973 240Z. Very little if any bondo when it was restored 5 years ago. This hood is as straight as it came from the factory.
I have insultion on the back side as I put a Chevy stroker in my car. I purchased a second hood and put louvers in it as I did not want to cut into this hood.
I can take the insulation off and show anyone how straight this hood is. There is one very very small ding that the camera could not even capture as it is so small. You need to look hood sidewides to see it. 1/16 of an inch would be overestimating the size of the ding. $750 . 406-249-2100 plus shipping. firstname.lastname@example.com

I bet the answer is not as well as you think you do.
Sure, you might know her favorite kind of music or his least favorite food, but do you know developmentally where your child is? Do you know if the behaviors he or she is exhibiting (especially those that are driving you crazy) are typical for his or her age?
This was the topic of this evening's parenting class I'm taking from parent educator, Geri Clouse. You can find her website and the classes she offers here. Her classes are life changing!
Geri asserts that most misbehavior is actually a developmental issue: when your child seems to act up or misbehave, he or she is responding to expectations that are not tuned to where he or she is developmentally. Most behavior is normal because of where a child is developmentally. The times when a child's behavior is "bumpy" is actually when a child is developing either physically, mentally, or emotionally.
Tonight in class, Geri had us write on big sheets of paper the challenging behaviors we were dealing with. We split into groups reflecting our children's ages and wrote down these behaviors.
AND, do you know what? Most of us listed the same annoying behaviors! As we talked in our groups we were surprised because most of us thought that we had these behaviors because we were doing something wrong as parents–or that something was wrong with our children. But what we discovered is that, at least for 6-7-8 year old children, they have a great need to move around, their feelings are easily hurt, peers are becoming very important, and EVERYTHING HAS TO BE FAIR.
So, what are parents to do?
Geri's advice: be nurturing teachers.
Non nurturing responses to behavior are when a parent yells, shames, threatens, punishes or spanks. The child doesn't learn anything from these responses to their behavior because –and this was a light bulb moment–you can't change behavior unless you have something to replace it with!
You want your eight year old to sit down and do his homework? Threatening, punishing or yelling isn't going to help. It doesn't change his behavior by replacing it with something.
We need to respond to misbehavior–and man is this tough in when you are in the throes of a situation–in ways that do not hurt people (especially our young people) or draw people further apart. That is exactly what all of those non-nurturing behaviors do.
We must respond to behavior (which is driven by a child's current development stage) by teaching the child what is right, wanted, acceptable and appropriate–in a nurturing way. Someone asked about consequences: Shouldn't all misbehavior have a consequence? Geri's response: rarely do consequences work because they aren't directly related to the misbehavior and, repeat after me, they don't replace the behavior that you don't want with the behavior that you do. In essence, consequences don't necessarily teach the child a new skill with which to replace the behavior that you don't want.
One of the best ways to replace a misbehavior is with a behavior that you want. For the homework scenario, Geri suggests giving the child a choice, "Do you want to start your homework now or after your snack?" This gives the child power and autonomy to make a decision even though you have set the boundaries by giving choices.
We also received a list of starting sentences that teach children (and parents!) what to say but also model nurturing (but still assertive) ways to communicate.
Last week I practiced the "I want. . ." statements.
My children seemed to be ignoring any and all requests: Please turn off the television. Please sit down and do your homework now. Please don't push your brother. (I was asking politely. . .)
The "I want. . ." sentences clearly stated what I wanted, "I want you to turn off the television now and work on your homework." I never yelled. I repeated, but developmentally that is what you do with eight and nine year olds. And when they didn't respond, I didn't yell, but I used another I statement, "I feel frustrated when you don't listen."
The "I want" statements helped me by clarifying in my head exactly what I wanted the children to do: You tell the child what you want, not what you don't want. But, Geri's handout had all kinds of starters for expressing your feelings . . .and by using them I'm modeling for the children how to effectively communicate what I want and feel.
Geri suggests that on your child's birthday, you Goggle the developmental stage of your child or better yet, she showed us her own tattered copies of child development books compiled by the Gesell Institute. Here is one on eight year olds that I'm going to get! And, I may as well stock up on all the other levels too. (I'm going to a couple of baby showers so I think I may even give a few of these for the first couple of years as gifts!)
Ultimately by learning about the developmental stages of our children, we can respond to them in ways that show compassion, empathy, patience. . .and love. And, whether you are a child or an adult, it is only through love that we truly learn.

Alan Perlis
Life Path Number 1
" The computing field is always in need of new cliches."
Alan Perlis is a male celebrity.
He was born on Saturday April 1st 1922, in Unknown.
Alan Perlis was born with extra-ordinary drive and determination. He is a born leader. Alan insists on his right to make up his own mind; he demands freedom of thought and action, and does not let anything or anyone stand in his way once he is committed to his goal.
Perlis assumes the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those he loves. He demands respect and attention and becomes irritated and even domineering when important things do not go his way.
Alan Perlis needs to feel in command of important undertakings, and resists supportive roles. He seeks the forefront and the limelight.
Alan is exceptionally creative and original and possesses a touch of the unusual. His approach to problems is unique and he has the courage to wander from the beaten path. Alan Perlis can be impatient with his shortcomings and those of others.
He is very concerned with his status and fosters the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels Alan to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life.
Alan Perlis should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. He must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities are not brought under control Alan could become excessively domineering, vindictive and even violent. He performs best when he left to his own devices. Ideally Perlis should own his own business and be his own boss. Alan Perlis should hold fast to his life's dream and work with the determination he possesses to realize it. Alan can become overly stressed by his driven nature. He needs to be careful about the food he eats and maintain an exercise program he enjoys. Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with Perlis' drive, particularly sports involving running and swimming. Alan Perlis must not let pride and overconfidence be his masters. He has to remember that his talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit.
More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed!
You and Alan

German business confidence rises in May: Ifo
German business confidence rose in May as companies become increasingly optimistic about the outlook for Europe's biggest economy, the Ifo economic institute said on Wednesday.
The Ifo institute's closely-watched business climate index increased to 107.7 points in May from 106.7 points in April, Ifo said in a statement.
Analysts had been expecting a much more modest increase in the index this month.
"The German economy is growing at a robust pace," said Ifo president Clemens Fuest.
"Companies are significantly more satisfied with their current business situation. In addition, they are noticeably more optimistic with regard to the coming months."
Ifo calculates its headline index on the basis of companies' assessments of the current business environment and the outlook for the next six months.
The sub-index measuring current business increased by one point to 114.2 points and the outlook sub-index climbed by 1.1 point to 101.6 points, the institute said.

This team works in a mouthful of a lab: the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Nanosystems Engineering Research Center (NERC) for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST). The gist is that the students deploy nanotechnology to make low energy sensors that power and analyze data themselves. The eventual goal, says Tom Snyder, the lab's industry liaison, is to make "completely self-powered devices that are as simple to use as putting on your clothing."
The lab is funded by an $18.5 million NSF grant through 2017 to link "scientific discovery to technological innovation through transformational engineered systems, research and education."
ExitEvent sat down at CES to speak with Tim Shay, a chemical engineering graduate student, and Ryan Hodges, a postdoctoral research scholar. They explained that the current state of sensor technology as it stands is not future proof. Long-term sensors still have to be recharged, maintained and updated over time.
ASSIST develops specialized devices and circuitry created to harvest energy—they're powered by tiny thermoelectric or piezoelectric generators with 200-300 microwatts of power, enough energy for a dime-sized chip to tell a sensor to collect data. They partner with universities like the University of Virginia to create smaller chips on which to run sensors. One sensor already available for licensing by industry is silver nanowire electrode technology. It's a technology that can safely touch the skin, making it perfect for wearable devices like prosthetics or health monitors.
One vision for these low-powered sensors is for embed in textiles to monitor a person's health or the impact on the environment on physiological signals, serving as an early warning of illness. Any electronic or Internet of Everything type device could be embedded with the sensors, Snyder explains.
ASSIST travelled from North Carolina to showcase its technology to potential stakeholders and industry partners—team members collected over 200 business cards. And after the previous two years' events, ASSIST secured partners with companies met during them.
According to Snyder, the two missions of attendance are to showcase the research being conducted by faculty and students in hopes of securing research partnerships with industry and to benchmark the innovation coming out of the industry. ASSIST's goal is to be ahead of the market so it can provide the technologies showcased in the future.

Q Stop IV Earns Green Ideas Achievement Award
Retailer's canopy lighting switch saves the equivalent of 5,283 gallons of gasoline per year.
O'FALLON, Mo. -- Jones Oil Co.'s Q Stop IV, located here, earned the Green Ideas Group's Green Achievement Award for cutting electric power usage and costs 64 percent in its service canopy lighting.
Management of the energy-efficient c-store chain accepted the Green Ideas Group's recommendation to replace 46 320-watt metal halide (MH) lighting fixtures with 127-watt high intensity fluorescent (HIF) fixtures. The change reduced the site's electric power usage by 58,115 kilowatt-hours per year. A saving this size will remove 43.5 tons of carbon dioxide, 320 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 740 pounds of nitrogen oxides from the atmosphere annually. The reduction's effect can be compared to an 11-acre growth of mature trees or taking eight cars off the road, and is the energy equivalent of saving 5,283 gallons of gasoline per year, according to Green Ideas Group.
"When our Green Ideas contact called and asked if we'd be interested in looking at a project like this, I told him, 'absolutely,'" said Q Stop General Manager Rich Berliner. "We had some concerns. We liked the idea of reducing our energy costs, but we had to make sure the lighting was going to be functionally and aesthetically similar to what we had. We also liked being able to do something responsible for the environment, which gas stations don't always get the opportunity to do or get any credit for when they do achieve it."
The company decided to switch out the canopy at one test store. "So far, so good," Berliner said.
"This award is a very nice surprise, absolutely," Berliner added. "It's nice recognition for the company and is right in line with corporate policy. We try to be responsible members of our community in everything we do."
HIF lighting uses less than half the current of high intensity discharge lighting, including the metal halide type formerly used by Q Stop IV, while producing comparable or better light levels, according to a statement by Green Ideas Group.
Q Stop received an energy efficiency incentive of $2,400 to do the project from Ameren, their utility provider, noted Tim Eylander, a managing member of the Green Ideas Group.
"I'm sure utilities wouldn't offer rebates if the project involved had no energy-saving promise, but the fact is that rebates have been the practice of many utilities across the country for several years now. And replacement of metal halide lighting with HIF, as far as saving energy goes, is a slam dunk," Eylander said. "The fact that Q Stop received a rebate for changing just 46 lights means a company doesn't have to be a giant to participate."
The Green Ideas Group works with an independent network of partners to implement turnkey energy-efficient lighting solutions across the country.

charging handle
Probably an old topic, but do most mini 14s have some play in the charging handle. Just a bit of rattle is normal I'm guessing. Thinking about throwing a 1911 buffer on it. Does the buffer go on the gas block side AND the side that retains the recoil spring towards the breach?
Yes the slide does have play in it. I have used buffers on both sides, gas block and against the receiver.
With the buffers on both ends (1911 type) did you have any trouble with the bolt not staying locked to the rear after the last shot is fired?
Most people have no problems with the gas block. May have cut or sand down for the rear. I used a flat vacuum cleaner belt.
You used a vacuum cleaner belt as a rear buffer? I'm fine with sanding the buffer down if that's what you mean. Def not comfortable enough to grind away the steel if need be.
Yes the buffer only, the flat vacuum cleaner belt works perfect on all 3 minis.
I've got Wilson Combat Shok-Buffs (intended for 1911s) front and rear in my 2008 580 series, and have had no problems with under-gassing (due to the buffer on the gas block) or failure to lock open.
They're inexpensive, but not free like tri70's vacuum belts! ;)
My 20 year old Mini works just the way I want, right out of the box. See no reason to mess with it. "If it ain't broke..." But, that's just me.
I use 1911 wilson combat buffers on the op rod and gas tube of my 580 mini-14. I havent had one single issue in over 1,000rds with these buffers installed. I have heard of people sanding down the gas tube buffer to insure no out of battery or last round lock open incidents or using a vacuum cleaner belt because of its thinness and toughness.
My op rod has some play in it like most other mini's do. No big deal.

Thanks to you all for your insight. Just ordered the Wilson combat 1911 buffers. Can't wait to try it. Just need to find an accu-strut and I'll be done.

I'm Christine Spliid, originally from Denmark but now based in London. CROBAR cricket flour energy bars started as an idea which combines my passion for endurance running, healthy food, travelling and sometimes, the unconventional.
I have travelled to more than 40 countries, and was fascinated with the number of people who eat insects on a daily basis. Many of the insects look similar to shrimps, so it did seem strange that eating insects is almost unheard of in the West. Learning about the health and environmental benefits let me to explore the idea of introducing insects back at home, and having studied Psychology & Business at Warwick University, I was immediately fascinated with the challenge of changing people's perceptions and attitudes towards eating insects.
By making the crickets into flour, it becomes an extremely versatile ingredient, which can be used not just in cricket flour energy bars, but in so many recipes. There are more than 2000 edible insect species available, and the kind of food products that could incorporate insect flour is only limited by your imagination.

Lance Armstrong's victory last Sunday in the three-week Tour de France was especially dramatic because of his return from testicular cancer that had spread to his abdomen, lungs and brain.
But Armstrong would never have ridden this year in bicycle racing's most storied race, let alone win it, except for one exhausting week in April 1998 on the roads and mountains of western North Carolina with two exceptional friends.
Armstrong's doctors say the cancer is gone now. His racing career would have been gone, too, but for the rescue effort of Chris Carmichael and Bob Roll, who subtly showed him how he could help himself by racing again.
Carmichael has coached Armstrong since Armstrong was a teen-ager on the United States national team. Roll is a longtime friend of both Carmichael and Armstrong. He has ridden in four Tours de France and now, at age 38, races mountain bikes.
Armstrong's cancer was diagnosed in October 1996, and it was arrested by two operations and four intense one-week chemotherapy sessions. He sat out all of 1997, returned to racing in 1998, quit an early-season race in France and flew home to Austin, Tex., ready to retire from the sport.Continue reading the main story
In telephone interviews last week Carmichael, from France, and Roll, from Denver, reflected on what happened to change Armstrong's mind.
''He never seemed comfortable in Europe,'' Carmichael said. ''He wanted to ride, but I think because everybody wanted him to. He was saying, 'Cycling is not that important to me.'
''When he came back, I saw he had never given himself a chance to decompress. You go through what he did as a racer; you never let doubt enter your mind. You just pound through it. Then, all of a sudden, you're not racing, and things like brain surgery and chemotherapy become more important.
''If you're an office worker and get sick like that, you just don't go back to work and pick up a pencil. Things are not the same. Lance needed to understand that life would be different. He needed time to sort things out. When he did, he realized he couldn't quit that way, that if he was going to end his career he had to find a race to end it.''
Armstrong picked the United States pro championship in Philadelphia that June for his final race. Carmichael had other ideas.
''We thought if he committed to one race, the desire might come back to race again,'' Carmichael said. ''And if it didn't, who said he had to race again? But we said if you're going to race even once more, you have to be in shape. Let's put together a training camp and get ready.''
At Carmichael's suggestion, they decided to train out of Boone, N.C. In 1995 and 1996, Armstrong won the Tour DuPont, then America's leading stage race, partly because he rode so well in the North Carolina hills, especially Beech Mountain near Boone.
''I thought that getting him on those roads,'' Carmichael said, ''he would start reflecting that he was back where he started to become the king of American cycling. He could get good memories flowing again.''
Armstrong needed a training partner. When Carmichael suggested Roll, Armstrong said, ''That's perfect.'' And when Armstrong called Roll, Roll's wife, Chiara, urged her husband to accept.
''I think Bob has incredible talent and personality,'' she said. ''He could boost anybody's morale. Bob made Lance remember all the good things about cycling.''
Carmichael was sure that would happen. ''Lance wasn't going to get down with Bob around,'' Carmichael said. ''We knew knew he would be inspiring for Lance. Bob is loose, with no anxiety. Riding with Bob on those hills could get Lance's thoughts rolling.''
Roll recalled a conversation with Armstrong the previous summer at a bike show in Los Angeles.
''He was at a real low point,'' Roll said. ''He couldn't get a job and was pretty dismayed at the way the bike industry and teams had come to treat him. The Tour de France was the last thing on his mind. One thing that had sustained him when he was sick was the thought of racing again. His goal was to be a healthy, functioning person, but once he got to Europe in 1998 I think he had serious doubts about the viability of the whole racing thing.''
In April 1998, Armstrong and Roll began a training camp far from a phone, far from any modern comforts.
As Roll put it:
''Chris wanted somebody to remind Lance where the sport came from, what the sport meant to people and to Lance and his generation of riders. We had no specific agenda. We'd ride those mountains for seven or eight hours a day, and we talked as we rode. We talked about the future and what Lance could do.
''We trained hard in miserable weather conditions, but I don't care if it's raining or hot, if I'm in France or Morocco, I just love to be on a bike. Any day on a bike is a good day. Lance picked up on that, and we rode with a little more intensity every time.
''As we went along, I tried to remind Lance how gifted he is as a bike racer, how important it was for his peace of mind that he try his hardest and take whatever comes, whether it's the Tour or a local criterium in Texas. If you make your best effort, you should be satisfied. If you turn away from the sport without having made your best effort, it would always bug you.''
Carmichael recalled that week in the mountains.
''It was just the three of us,'' he said. ''They rode their bikes hard and I followed in a car. We rented a cabin, and at night I did the cooking and they washed the dishes. In seven days, they rode over 800 miles, mostly climbs. There was no flat land there.
''One day, after seven hours of riding, we did Beech Mountain. Lance hit it and left Bob just as they got into the meat of the climb. Lance's name was still painted on the road from two years before, and that reminded him of the good times.
''April was beginning and it was 40 degrees and raining. Lance was riding and I was yelling at him, just like in a race. I said, 'Want to get in the car? There are 20 miles to go.' He said, 'No way.' ''
At that point, Carmichael said, Armstrong changed. ''I think he realized he wanted to race and he would do it for his reasons,'' Carmichael said. ''I had a feeling he would be stronger than before. I wasn't thinking he would win the Tour de France, but I thought he would come back with a new attitude.
''It was one of those things you don't plan. You just have to go in there for the right reasons. It's all a fairy tale right now, but you don't go in there thinking you're writing a fairy tale. It was a great time for him. It was closing a wound.
''I didn't know if he was going to die. Here was a kid I started coaching when he was 17 and I didn't know if I was going to his funeral. But he came back and I coached him and cooked for him. That's real satisfying. That week in the mountains brought him back.''
When the accounts from Carmichael and Roll were relayed to Armstrong, he smiled. ''That week was the turning point, absolutely,'' Armstrong said. ''Everything about it was special -- the people, the conversations, the setting, the lousy weather, the cabin. I learned there that I still loved racing and training. I learned I really loved it.''Continue reading the main story

The tea tree has become quite popular for its variety of uses. Although it has "tea" in the name, you should not attempt to drink it, as it is toxic when ingested orally. Nonetheless, it is a very useful oil to have at home.
In the following paragraphs, you will learn different uses of the tea tree oil that you probably don't know existed.
Having a sore throat can be very disturbing. It could prevent you from focusing or concentrating on what you are doing now. Not only can you use tea tree oil to clear up your sore throat but you can also prevent it from happening if you apply tea tree oil early. It can help you reduce the inflammation of the mucous membrane, which if left unattended can worsen your sore throat.
Toothbrushes and containers are often breeding grounds for bacteria. This is no surprise because bacteria usually congregate in a moist area. It may look strange, but bacteria can make your toothbrush and containers a hotspot if you don't maintain proper hygiene. If you have a large family to look after, you can be sure the situation will be much worse. Fortunately, you can use tea tree oil to clean all toothbrush and containers occasionally.
If you have a minor cut or abrasion, you can apply several drops of essential oils to the affected area. If you have a sensitive skin, dilute the tea tree oil with a tablespoonful of ordinary oil such as coconut oil. In addition, if you need to use plaster on your wound, apply some drops of tea tree oil to the cotton – which should go on the wound first – before placing a plaster on the wound. It helps to clean up the area and ward off infections.
Tea tree oil can be used as a freshener and is often healthier than shop bought fresheners.
Tea tree oil is a natural allergy remedy. If you an allergy sufferer or want to help someone who is, you can use tea tree oil. Apply it to reflex points in the body or the chest and allow it to dry.
Arthritis is very painful and can often render sufferers inflexible. To reduce the effects of arthritis, add 2 ounces of carrier oil to 15 drops of essential oil and apply it to affected areas thrice daily. This should serve as an effective treatment for arthritis.
You can make your own custom hand sanitizer with a few drops of tea tree oil. It is inexpensive and you don't have to worry about what brand of hand sanitizer to buy or what price you need to buy one.
When you have fungus, you could be facing psychological and physical discomfort. There are many options to treat this condition and tea tree oil is one of them.
You can use this essential oil as acne-fighting oil for your facial acne. However, you may need to dilute with jojoba or coconut oil because it can be very potent when used for the face, which is a sensitive area.
Nobody wants to have athlete's foot. And if you are suffering from one, you can try this oil before going out to purchase medication.
Dandruff can be caused by an irritated skin or Malassezia (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dandruff/basics/con-20023690).
If you have back problems or tension headaches, using essential oil in your bath can be an effective treatment. Because of the anti-inflammatory properties, adding some drops of tea tree oil to your bath can help loosen and relax sore muscles.
Tea tree oil can be effective against bad breath. It can be used as an alternative to other mouthwashes because it can help kill bacteria and germs that are the root cause of bad breath.
If you smell mildew in the early morning hours in your household, it could mean that your laundry has stayed in the washer overnight instead of the dryer. To disinfect your laundry before rewashing, add a few drops of the oil to your detergent.
If your baby is suffering from mild diaper rash, adding a few drops of tea tree oil to coconut oil can make an effective diaper rash ointment. It should only be applied to babies above 6 months.
If you have pets or children in your household, you may want to use the help of tea tree oil. Ants, lice, and cockroaches hate this essential oil, so adding a few drops at the doorway can act as a deterrent to these pests.
If your skin is sensitive, dilute the tea tree oil with a carrier oil and apply it to the affected area 1-2 times daily. You can also use this in your bath to help with other areas of the body.
This can be very annoying but you can counter it by adding a few drops of tea tree oil to the affected area every few hours until the infection goes away.

I'm going to be upgrading our Active Directory 2000 domain to 2008 R2 and adding another set of domain controllers (with new names and IP address) while demoting the old set of DCs. I think I've got the steps pretty well hashed out for that, but my question mark is Exchange 2003. We have one Exchange 2003 server running on a Windows Server 2000 machine. What do I need to do to ensure Exchange 2003 doesn't flip out on me when I bring the new 2008 R2 DCs online and demote the old DCs?

akp982 is an IT service provider.
That the active directory is in "native mode" think that's what its called... the mode with backward compatibility for DC's under 2008 to be safe.
I do not believe this will be needed and it should work with a full 2008 domain without the backward compatibility but i know how much ex loves to eat into the domain.
Jul 26, 2010 at 2:51 UTC
James, I am assuming your exchange box is not a DC? If so, you should be fine going to 2008. Keep your workstation XP so you can manage exchange. I would hold off on going native for now, even though you should be OK as long as all your DC's are 2k8. MS is making it difficult to go to 2k8 and keep ex2k3.

Before the rain came, the Falcons took a huge step toward another PTC Metro championship.
Defending champion Field rode a three-spot in the third to a crisp 3-1 victory over visiting Woodridge, perhaps the Falcons' leading challenger in the Metro.
"It feels incredible," Falcons senior starting hurler Austin Black said.
The teams entered the Tuesday-Wednesday series tied atop the Metro at 5-0. With the series sweep, Field (10-0, 7-0 PTC Metro) now holds a two-game edge over Woodridge (6-5, 5-2).
"Our coaching staff and our team has the utmost respect for Woodridge and (coach) Dennis (Dever)," Falcons coach Joe Peterson said. "Those were two really well-played baseball games."
Senior second baseman Nate Rorrer started the Falcons' third-inning rally with a tapper that died on the third-base line. Junior catcher Lincoln Hackim kept the inning alive with a two-out walk.
"He sees the baseball very well," Peterson said. "He's very patient at the plate."
Senior shortstop Rusty Shaffer doubled both in with a first-pitch drive to the left-field fence.
"I was just waiting for the pitch that I wanted to hit and it happened to be the first one, so I took advantage of it," Shaffer said. "I thought it was going out at first."
Bulldogs junior left fielder David Massey gave spirited chase. Dever said Massey got a terrific jump on the ball and had it in his glove before hard contact with the fence jarred the ball loose.
"He's got great hand-eye coordination and he doesn't get cheated at the plate," Peterson said. "We're just going to let him roll with that and be who he is. Hopefully, most of the time, he gets a good piece of that baseball."
Black's seeing-eye roller between first and second doubled Field's lead to 3-1.
Black made it stand on the hill, earning his fifth win of the season with five one-run innings.
Woodridge put runners on in every inning, including two apiece in the fourth, fifth and sixth, but the Bulldogs stranded 10 in the losing effort.
"We're going to get to where our capabilities are. Right now, we're still not playing to our potential, and once we do, we will be a pretty good team," Dever said. "(Standing base-runners) has been the story of our season. This game was very indicative of what we've done all year."
Except for a strenuous fourth when he had to throw 27 pitches, Black was efficient, tossing 15 or fewer in each of his other four frames. He recorded a number of quick outs, with 11 of 23 batters faced lasting three pitches or fewer. In the third, for example, after yielding a leadoff base hit, he coerced three straight fly outs on 11 pitches.
"Usually first-pitch strike, I try to get it, paint the corners, jam them up on the inside," Black said. "Every time they hit the first-pitch strike, they'd usually pop out or ground out."
In the fourth, Woodridge put runners on first and second with one out, but Black struck out the next two batters on full-count heaters to get out of the jam.
In the fifth, Black relied on superb defense behind him. With a runner on first and one out, Bulldogs senior shortstop Preston Clark smashed a shot that twisted toward the left-field line, but senior Dominic Smith was able to run it down. Zane Patterson, Woodridge's starting pitcher, followed with a liner to put runners on first and second, but Black got out of the inning by coercing a fly to center.
"They're incredible with being out in the outfield," Black said. "I don't know how they can do it. I definitely can't do it. I know that."
The Bulldogs' final big threat came in the sixth when a dropped pop-up put runners on first and third with two outs for Jake Margroff, who had already lined a single and a double on the afternoon. This time, senior reliever Landon Westover was able to get the Butler commit to fly to center.
"For our kids to make quality pitches in those situations against a very good hitter was great execution on our part," Peterson said. "Our toughness the last two days was outstanding. They have a very good hitting team. To put those guys on base and be in those tough spots was very difficult. Pitch execution was great by our pitchers against a very good hitting lineup."
For senior Jacob Godfrey, who made three catches in center after Westover took the hill in the sixth, Margroff's fly was a relative can of corn. He also made a stunning grab in the left-field gap in the seventh, based off a perfect jump, and made a similarly beautiful catch in the sixth.
"That's part of the game of baseball," Dever said. "You hit the ball hard and good teams make those plays and that's what they did. That was the difference in the game."
Margroff was a deadly force throughout the afternoon for Woodridge. He doubled to lead off the game, sending a deep drive to right-center field, scoring on Patterson's liner over Black's head. He worked a masterful eight-pitch at-bat to lead off the third, ultimately sending a liner over the second baseman. Showcasing his power early, he flashed his speed in his third at-bat, nearly beating out the throw on a hard grounder to second base.
"That kid is a player," Peterson said. "There's a reason why he's going where he's going. He's such a tough out. Our infield knows what kind of speed he has. Anytime he puts a ball in play, they're antsy."
Patterson also had a nice day, with two singles at the plate and five strong innings on the mound. He yielded four hits and a walk, striking out seven. He took particular advantage of the bottom of Field's order, holding the five through eight spots hitless in eight at-bats, including seven strikeouts.
"He was throwing pretty hard," Shaffer said. "He was probably one of the hardest pitchers we faced so far this year."
Bulldogs senior Kasey Kelleher was dominant in his inning of relief, with three strikeouts.
"Kasey throws hard," Dever said. "He had a nice changeup and a curve that he threw, too, for a couple of strikeouts."

'Foreign entertainers' and sportspeople (including Brits based abroad) pay UK income tax on their UK earnings (read more about Foreign entertainer tax rules on the gov.uk website)
Agencies and venues commissioning talent have to deduct tax at 20% on payments made for entertainers services, even if the payment is going to another company rather than direct to the performer. Where no deduction is made, the payment is 'grossed up' so tax is 25% of the original payment amount.
Seven things to consider when you hire a star:
- Do you have a fixed budget? Get the contractual right to deduct tax – or you might have to pay 25% more!
- They want to be paid gross? Speak to us about whether a lower tax rate can be negotiated with HMRC.
- Going to be some expenses? Apply in advance and you may not have to pay tax on these – leave it till after and the tax is due.
- Paying through a middleman? Apply in advance and you may not need to handle the tax – leave it till after and the tax is due from everyone in the chain.
- Rock or pop act? Use an approved promoter and they, not you, have the tax headache.
- More classical? They have their own list too.
- Do I really have to do this? Maybe not – there are some exemptions – but if you're not sure, please do get in touch.
For examples of when Foreign Entertainer tax is applicable, please read our article 'A Bolt out of the Blue – visiting sport stars taxed in UK'.

Rosie Mercado is a plus-sized model and she knew about all this first hand. She was confident with the way she looked and made it big in modeling. But once while traveling by plane she felt totally humiliated when she was asked to buy two tickets due to her size.
That was when she decided to modify her lifestyle and dropped over 240 pounds. She was a transformed person and felt good about it. But not everybody thought so as she was shamed for being a traitor to the plus size community! Watch and share her story.

Big Cat Week is only one week away, and that means the return of Safari Live to broadcast! We checked in with Safari Live anchor Hayden Turner to see how things are going one year after the inaugural Safari Live broadcast, and he shared his excitement and what he hopes to inspire in viewers again this year.
When you travel to far away lands, become immersed in nature, and share it with amazing people, it does feel a little like a dream. Packed with adventure when you're there, so much seems to fit in a day… as you leave that environment, the world (your world) seems small again.
When you were younger and you read stories of those distant lands and adventures, it seemed like the impossible. These days, we kind of expect it! There doesn't seem like there is a place on the planet we humans cannot go these days.
I have had the great privilege of working, traveling and/or living in 43 countries around the globe. I have experienced the incredible cultures and wonderful people, and have soaked up all the wildlife and habitats I could get my mucky little hands on… all thanks to TV and Nat Geo. There is no way this little suburban boy from Sydney, Australia would have ever traveled as extensively as he has without that lucky break 20 years ago. Nat Geo has changed my world.
I used to get home from a trip and say, "Go on, get out there! Just do it!" I urged everyone to just get up and travel, explore, investigate the planet as much as possible. I thought like that up until a year ago, before I had another life-changing moment when I joined Safari Live.
The first time I climbed into the vehicle and heard the countdown "Five, four, three, two, one.. YOU ARE LIVE, YOU ARE LIVE" through my earpiece, that was the moment I realized that I was driving the biggest safari vehicle on the planet… along with my buddy Pieter (things have grown since then into an even bigger, better, and all-around brilliant team!). We were taking people on an adventure, they were traveling to that faraway land, they were becoming immersed in nature with thousands of amazing people… it was a dream come true.
I started to get questions through Twitter and email, fed down the earpiece by the directors to me. "Jilly in Kansas wants to know why that elephant is doing that?" or "John in UK would like to know where you lived in Africa" and the list went on. I was interacting with the audience LIVE! It was incredible… and then we would get some questions from children, sometimes sick children, and then I really started to realize what this all was… this was magic… what we were doing was giving all these wonderful people watching, their daily dose of nature, adventure, and sometimes therapy. A big shot in the heart of what I call "Vitamin N."
Now I'm not saying it's not good to get outside and see nature in your own backyard, that's probably one of the most important things to do on the planet. But as time has progressed and I have had time to process what Safari Live is all about, I have realized that this means so much to so many people on a daily basis. For people that are sick or recovering, for carers and guardians, for children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities… the list goes on. For people that cannot leave their homes as regularly as they would like for whatever reason–I suppose what I am trying to say is that Safari Live is for everyone… everyone that has had their "love-for-nature switch" flicked on in the past, or for some–maybe Safari Live is doing it for them right now… getting them hooked on nature!
Whatever stimulates people to love nature can only be a good thing. Research has shown that being in nature–or even looking at it–improves your health, reduces stress and anger. It not only makes you feel better emotionally, but contributes to your physical well-being.
And we must then pass that on to young people in our worlds too. Young people's minds are so important to connect with nature (older too;-) and we have to allow them to love nature before we can ask them to save it.
So over the fantastic array of drives, walks, and much more, we have so much in store for you during Big Cat Week on Safari Live. I challenge you to do this for me: change a young person's world! Sit with them during Safari Live–experience it with them, talk them through it, share it with them, get them to ask a question and see if you can help ignite their love for nature.
If we get them hooked young, we have got them hooked for life! Think about it, we could get thousands of young minds into nature through Safari Live each night and day.
12 months ago, Safari Live changed my world, now let's change your world, their world.
See you in Africa in 8 days! You never know whats around the next corner!
Safari Live kicks off next week on Friday, November 27th at 11/10c during Big Cat Week.
