We'll be based at private villas in Playas del Coco along the North Pacific coast, so it's easy to explore the natural wonders, zip line high above the trees, engage in all kinds of ocean activities, and enjoy the coastline between classes.
In our natural diversity tour of Costa Rica, we travel through six distinct ecological zones, learning to appreciate the harmony found in the smallest plants and animals to the largest trees and vegetation.
We will go to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve to learn about cloud forest ecology and the thousands of plant and animal species connected to it. At night, we'll go on a hike to uncover nocturnal animals we didn't see during the day. From there, we'll travel to Arenal Volcano National Park. Arenal is one of the world's most active volcanoes. At over a mile high, it is studied by seismologists from far corners of the globe to chart the profound changes in our climate and the environment. We can unwind by swimming in the hot springs.
Costa Rica is a place of remarkable contrast, of mountainous heights to deep waters, tiny organisms to giant plants — and study and play! We will have the opportunity for hiking inland trails, swimming along the idyllic coastline, climbing the hanging bridges and relaxing in the mineral-rich hot springs.
We'll celebrate with a farewell banquet. From micro to macro, Costa Rica will enrich both knowledge and perspective in this exotic oasis.

Costa Rica July and August Optional Excursions
Playa Conchal with Banana Boating & Horseback Riding
Playa Conchal is widely considered to be Costa Rica's most beautiful beach. Situated on the Northwest Pacific coast in a stunning protected bay, this spectacular kilometre-long beach fronts warm turquoise waters and offers magnificent views of the coastline. Its name, which literally means "Shell Beach," refers to the millions of softened tiny crushed sea shells that construct the beach. This is a cherished national treasure which has been declared a Natural Reserve by the Costa Rican government, making the shells illegal to remove.
We will leave Playas del Coco in the morning for a brief journey through charming hamlets and coastal towns before arriving at Playa Conchal. Bring your towel and your sunscreen and get ready for some fun on the beach.
Our day will begin with Banana Boating! Climb onto the three-person yellow raft and get pulled at breath-taking speeds over the crystal-clear waters! Hang on!
After a light lunch (included), we will enjoy horseback riding! Atop the Costa Rican caballos, we will get a unique view of our surroundings.
Includes banana-boating, horseback riding, lunch and round-trip transportation.
Price: $190
Surfing Lesson at Playa Grande
Costa Rica has long been a popular destination for surfers worldwide. Famous Playa Grande on the Pacific Coast is one of the favoured beaches for wave riders of all levels. Located in Las Baulas National Park, Playa Grande is a long white-sand beach offering stunning views of the surrounding natural marine park, which has been carefully preserved as it is a nesting site for huge leatherback turtles. The quiet beach is also an ideal destination to learn surfing as it is rarely crowded and provides consistent, ride-able waves with perfect left and right peaks.
We will leave Playas del Coco early in the morning for a short ride through coastal towns before arriving at Playa Grande. There we will be greeted by our surf instructors, who will provide equipment and go over the basics and safety of surfing this famous beach. Each student will receive individual attention and instructions before having the opportunity to conquer the waves on his/her own. Hang ten, and look out for those swells!
After a fun day of surfing, we will have lunch (included) in a nearby beach café, stroll through the marine park, and return to Playas del Coco in the afternoon.
Price: $175
Stand Up Paddling
Whether you know it as SUP surfing, paddle surfing or stand up paddle boarding, this new sport is taking the world by storm. Let's join the movement and grab a paddle and board and get cruising!
This is the perfect way to enjoy the ocean for surfers and non-surfers alike, and you can tailor it to your comfort zone, from flat water paddling to riding the waves. Its fan base is growing so rapidly because everyone can do it and its great fun!
With our instructor we will learn safety, basic strokes, and turns, both standing and kneeling.
Included: equipment, including a life vest.
Please wear your swimsuit, and bring insect repellent, sunscreen, along with a hat/sunglasses, a towel and a change of clothes.
Price: $100
Costa Rican Safari
Love wildlife? This excursion will take you down the Tempisque River that borders the Palo Verde National Park. The park has wetlands and is very diverse with 12 different habitats including mangroves, swamps, saltwater and freshwater lagoons and marshes and is home to the "Palo Verde" (horse bean) trees. This excursion really showcases all that Costa Rica has to offer!
While travelling down the Tempisque River, you may see howler and white- faced monkeys, anteaters, crocodiles, giant green iguanas as well as many Costa Rican birds. The Park is internationally renowned by bird watchers as many migratory birds choose Costa Rica as their rest stop.
We will depart Playas del Coco in the morning. A snack will be provided, and we will return by lunch.
Price: $150
White Water Rafting on Corobici River
Join us for a ride down the Corobici River! The Class III rapids will take our breath away, while the natural beauty of the surroundings engulfs us. With chattering birds overhead, we will learn about another Costa Rican eco-system while having a blast!
Experienced guides will lead us over the rapids, ensuring our safety and enjoyment. When the river is calm, our guides will direct our attention to the diversity of life surrounding the river. Then, look out! Another rapid is just a few meters downstream and the action is unstoppable!
Equipment and lunch is included.
Signed waiver required.
Price: $240
Traditional Costa Rican Cooking Lesson
Try your hand at this delicious cuisine! We will spend the afternoon making casado—the most traditional Costa Rican dish, which incorporates meat or chicken, rice, beans, vegetables and tasty fried plantains. We will start from the very beginning, learning the proper way to soak the beans before cooking, and see the dish to its completion! Once finished, we will enjoy the fruits of our labour. This is certainly a skill to take home!
Price: $35
Snorkelling by Boat
This half day excursion will introduce students to a wide range of the underwater and reef life, much of which can be seen from the water's surface. Water clarity often exceeds 75 feet at this time of year. Well preserved corals and vast quantities of fish of every shape, size and colour make this trip both memorable and instructive.
We will depart Playas del Coco by boat, motoring through the pristine waters. Once far from the main beach, our guide will lead us into the water, reviewing basic snorkelling techniques and ushering our attention to the diverse life forms of the water.
Equipment included.
Price: $100
Discovery SCUBA Diving (no certification required)
This half-day adventure is for the non-certified diver who wants to experience underwater life first hand. A highly trained instructor will teach students the basics of scuba diving in a swimming pool and then take them on a shallow one-tank dive in the ocean.
Equipment included.
Signed waiver required.
Price: $195
PADI SCUBA Certification Course
Jacques Cousteau himself chose to film a "diving special" in Costa Rica, leaving little doubt as to the quality of this activity in the region. The same underwater wonders that attracted the great Captain Cousteau to Costa Rica continue to attract divers from all over the world. These qualities include pristine azure waters, hundreds of miles of unexplored coasts and islands, and an abundance of tropical marine life. While beginners may not yet be ready for a large school of hammerhead sharks gliding soundlessly overhead, Costa Rica has snorkel and dive sites for everybody, from the newcomer to the most experienced professional. Join us to complete your full PADI diving certification while on location in Costa Rica.
Course duration: approximately 4 afternoons.
Equipment: Participants may bring their own mask, fins, snorkel and wetsuit or borrow from the dive shop there.
Signed waiver required.
Price: $695
Diving for PADI Certified Divers, Afternoon Two-Tank Boat Dive
In the Playas del Coco area, there are more than 60 dive sites within a 15 minute boat ride. Among the coral reefs and rocky outcroppings, students can observe and swim with snappers, groupers, angelfish, as well as a startling array of rays and eels.
The best months to dive in the Guanacaste region are between June and November as the water conditions are calm and the water temperature varies from 20-25C in summer. At this time, the coastal visibility is 20 to 80 feet.
The dives include a half-day boat trip in the Playas del Coco area where certified divers will have two dives, each at a different dive site. These dives will plunge students to depths of approximately 60 to 80 feet.
Equipment and snacks are included. Students are welcome to bring their own mask, fins and wet suit if they wish.
Signed waiver required.
Price: $175
Community Service, Playas del Coco
Community Service is an important aspect of every Blyth International Summer Program. We try to instill a sense of global responsibility in all of our students as they explore the world. This optional excursion will allow students to engage in locally based environmental or educational initiatives. Their time with local children, animals, or the natural environment of the area will earn them 4-5 community involvement hours which can go towards his/her high school diploma.
Earn one to two volunteer hours before your trip!
Donations (new and used) will be of benefit to many organizations, schools and community centres in the areas that we visit. Items such as school supplies, table games and puzzles (of various difficulty), paint by numbers, books and art materials are needed. Clothing donations will also be accepted. Students may earn up to a maximum of two hours for their time spent collecting the items from friends and family.

The Menthar-Promellian War was a devastating conflict that erupted between the Menthar and Promellian species.
The root cause of the war, at least according to the Federation, was believed to have been attributed to a Promellian starship that entered a holy Menthar system during a sacred time. This sparked off a catastrophic conflict between the two species which ultimately led to both of their destruction. (TNG novel: The Buried Age)

My boyfriend has always offered to walk me to my car after a sleepover and brunch. But that was when we were already out. This morning he suggested ordering breakfast delivery and watching a movie. We hadn't done that before, so I agreed. When it was time for me to go, he walked me downstairs. But even though my car is parked blocks away, he didn't offer to walk with me. At first I thought he was, but he said,"I was actually going to walk downstairs with you to get my paper. Do you want me to walk with you?" I declined because I rather it be something he wants to do in his own. Also, the last time I spent the night, I suggested getting taco truck for dinner. He said,"Let me know when you get to the truck." I said,"Did you want to walk with me." He said,"I'm naked." I said,"I was hoping you would walk with me.. And I joked "Both of us should suffer in the cold for tacos.:p It's only fair, I drove here." He said, "I thought you'd enjoy me waiting naked, guess I read you wrong" But he walked with me afterward and seemed to enjoy himself. But it seems weird that he was trying to get me to do all that without offering to accompany me. Especially since it has been so cold. Also, he's been less keen on going out on dinner dates in general lately. He'll just say,"If you want to". I also suggested taking a day trip, and he seemed enthusiastic about that idea. But he showed little interest in brainstorming ideas and had no opinions on my suggestions besides,"It all sounds good to me. Whatever you like." Is there something I can do to encourage him him to want to put more effort in again? What's his deal anyway? Additional details: I always go to his place because there is no privacy where I live. So I always drive over (7 min drive) He does insist on paying for more things because of this. He's sweet and attentive in other ways, and always makes an effort to satisfy me in bed)
Boyfriend doesn't offer to walk me to my car after a sleepover? And seems to be getting lazier in his efforts In general?

Hmmm Usually when that happens, I find it's best to start mirroring their actions, getting distant, and giving them a taste of their own medicine. If they really care about you then they will almost immediately get their sh*t together and cut that behavior out! In situations like that, it always seems better to SHOW THEM how you feel vs telling them. Chances are, if they really care about you, they'll ask if something is wrong or they'll put in that extra effort just because the relationship will begin to feel unpleasant and lame once you start mirroring them. If that doesn't work then I think that's when you should directly approach what's been bothering you and tell him how you feel. If he's still not getting it together, then leave his a**.00|01|0
Be honest and just tell him what you want, he's not a mind reader. Or ask him if there's something wrong. Him getting lazier might reflect him caring less or getting more comfortable with you. Don't mirror his actions I think that's petty, talk to him instead.00|00|0

You know my favorite part of a nice, long weekend with the kids? The part where it's over and I get to send them off to school again.
Listen, we've had a great couple of days together, basking in the sun and frolicking in our blow up pool – which we set up in the front yard, something I'm pretty sure our neighbors adored – but if this 3-day weekend has taught me anything it's that I am ill-prepared for summer vacation.
The arguments, the tantrums, the constant need to eat; dare I say I felt like an amateur as I stumbled my way through the days trying to entertain the kids while maintaining my own sanity.
Of course, it's partly my fault. I don't know why I continue insisting on recreating menus and tablescapes I find on the cover of Marth Stewart magazines, when it all ends up covered in Cheez-Its, broken water balloons and tears (mine) before the second course.
Based on this past weekend, in order to survive the long, hot days of summer, I'm going to need a summer-prep boot camp of sorts – stat.
I'm thinking the whole shebang: practice runs to Costco during rush-hour, showing up at the park with no snacks, driving to Disneyland only to find out it's a black-out day, a sudden-yet-necessary visit to the DMV (but not until it's 100 degrees outside and the line wraps around the building), the cable going out (which is pretty much a guarantee with our current service provider) and host of other scenarios that depict all the different ways a perfectly good summer day can turn to … well, you know what I mean.
So here's where you guys come in: What are your most dreaded situations during summer vacation? How did you get through them? I need as many ideas as possible so I can start training ASAP. Otherwise, these Ashline boys are going to eat me alive.

|PDF file created with LaTeX is bad parsed
|Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:04:22 GMT
I worked on the issue I created time ago 'PDF file created with LaTeX is bad parsed', I hope it's a bad font encoding detection, or an unsupported encoding. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-534 The problem descripcion: ------------------------------------------------------- I'm getting an unexpected behavior parsing a pdf file. I'm trying to get the clean body text of some file, and I get a lot of aXX strings. Where each X is a number. It appear be the char code of the real character, I don't know really. My code is too simple: String[] args = {"/home/ernesto/tesis/documento/kvfs.pdf"}; ExtractText.main(args); I used the PDFBox 0.8.0-incubator version. Builded on 12/12/2009. The output I get is: a73a109a112a108a101a109a101a110a116a97a110a100a111 a97a99a99a101a115a111 a97 a115a105a115a116a101a109a97a115 a100a101 a97a114a99a104a105a118a111a115 a118a105a114a116a117a97a108a101a115 a112a97a114a97 a108a97 a104a101a114a114a97a109a105a101a110a116a97 a100a101 a98a250a115a113a117a101a100a97 a75a110a101a111a98a97a115a101 and more ...... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Now, I debugged, and test some alternatives: I found the cause of the problem, but not the solution. It's a bad font encoding detection, or an unsupported encoding. Debugging the pdfbox classes I found in the lines that encode the characters, when the character is wrong read. Look this lines: Class PDFont, Method String encode( byte[] c, int offset, int length ), line 438. 438 Encoding encoding = getEncoding(); 439 if( encoding != null) 440 { 441 retval = encoding.getCharacter( getCodeFromArray( c, offset, length ) ); 442 } 443 if( retval == null ) 444 { 445 retval = getStringFromArray( c, offset, length ); 446 } The first line, method getEncoding() return a org.apache.pdfbox.encoding.DictionaryEncoding, then go into the if (439), and getCharacter method return a aXX character. The second if(443) is disconsidered, but I evaluated the getStringFromArray method and it return a beautiful normal character like 'i'. Then I tried two ways, understand what is wrong with my font encoding and who is generating it. My pdf is generated by a latex, and I found for European accented character is used a package \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, I'm using it. I take off this line from my latex source file, and generate the pdf again. When ran the pdfbox text again, I got a better result: Implementando acceso a sistemas de archivos virtuales para la herramienta de b usqueda Kneobase Alumno: Ernesto De Santis Director: Pablo Ernesto Mart nez L opez But WITHOUT the accented characters. Then, I tried to use the getStringFromArray instead of encoding.getCharacter in the pdfbox source, backing the latex source as the original one. I did it, but the result was similar, bad accented characters: Implementando acceso a sistemas de archivos virtuales para la herramienta de b?squeda Kneobase Alumno: Ernesto De Santis Director: Pablo Ernesto Mart?nez L?pez -- Blog de nuestras vidas en Rio de Janeiro (Fernanda y Ernesto): http://www.fernandayernesto.blogspot.com/

Can a student rent a 'professionals only' property?
My partner and I are looking to rent a 1 bed property for the academic year 2014/2015 in the Bristol area. However there are not many properties that match our requirements which as specified as student properties. Are we restricted to these properties, or could we rent a 'professional' property?

Hi Abi, There is no reason, legally, why you would not be able to rent a property that is advertised as being for professionals only. This requirement is simply a preference from the landlord for the type of tenant they are looking for. It would be a case of going to the landlord or letting agent and asking them if it would be possible to bend their personal rules. If you can prove that you are reliable and can afford to pay then there should be no real reason that they will not let it to you. You might want to come armed with some paperwork that will help you though. If you can, a guarantor's letter is a big help, as it allows them the peace of mind that you have someone else legally responsible for your rent if you do not pay. In addition to this, old landlord's references and proof of any income you have will also be a big help. Many thanks, ScottAnswered on Jan 2 2014, Report content
Hi, It would be best to speak to the estate agent the property is with an explain the situation you are in. As long as you could provide proof that you are able to manage the rental payments this shouldn't be a problem. The agent may however require a guarantor for both of the tenants that are moving in to the property. We hope this helps.Answered on Jan 6 2014, Report content

Girls: What would do if your bf said he is losing interest
Most Helpful Girl
It would depend on a few things. First of all, if I felt like we really did have something special before, I'd wonder if our relationship was worth saving by talking about why he feels that way. If he's feeling this way suddenly because there is someone else, I would be crushed and again, wonder if there is a reason why he feels this way now. But if we both were drifting and I felt it too, no sense in beating a dead horse. We could have an amicable break up and go our separate ways. But I'm a believer in communication and second chances, and if I was doing something wrong, I want to know about it so I can improve it. If it's not me, then I don't want either of us to lose any more time to be happy either on our own or with someone else.00|00|0
Would you be genuinely concerned and would you really want to make him feel better/be more interested
Well, it breaks my heart to say that I went through this with my current relationship. I don't want to get in to it, but let's say yes, his interest was starting to go away, and instead of blaming him, I loved him so much that I wanted to know what I could have done to bring some spark back. Turned out that I didn't make him feel amazing. As in, I didn't tell him he was great at things anymore or look at him with the adoration I once did. I didn't even know I wasn't doing this, so when he told me I thought, "Wow, this is not such a tall order," and accepted that it was partly my responsibility to make sure one half of this couple was happy. We both had come to some realizations about what was going on, and some of it was him too, but I loved the love we had more than whatever the issue was, and I'm glad we made the effort to get to the bottom of it to make it work.

The fatal shooting last month of a former Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office deputy appears to be unrelated to his days in law enforcement and a recent federal prosecution in which he admitted smuggling contraband to inmates at the Orleans Parish Prison, according to New Orleans police.
The authorities have yet to identify a suspect in the Dec. 22 slaying, but detectives believe the former deputy, Tyrell Sutherland, was the victim of a mugging in New Orleans East.
"Everything I have, at this point, suggests it's a robbery or wrong-place, wrong-time kind of thing," said Detective Barret Morton, of the New Orleans Police Department. The area where Sutherland was shot, Morton added, "is known for such things."
The shooting happened about 1 a.m. near Benson and Gervais streets.
Morton said it appears Sutherland, 29, intended to meet someone in the area "when he was ambushed in the process."
Why he ventured to that part of town at that time of night is among the unanswered questions compounding the grief for Sutherland's family.
"I don't have the slightest idea why he would be around there in that area," Sutherland's father, Tyronne Sutherland, said in an interview. "We don't know anybody that he would be affiliated with around there, but these youngsters these days have their own agenda."
About six months before his death, the younger Sutherland appeared in U.S. District Court in New Orleans and pleaded guilty to smuggling marijuana and at least one cellphone to federal inmates awaiting trial at OPP in 2008.
Sheriff's Office investigators, having found a cache of cellphones, chargers, drugs and MP3 players at the jail's Templeman V facility, determined federal detainees had been offering bribes to deputies in exchange for contraband.
The investigation involved an inmate named Sebastian Cuevas, who according to court documents was known as "King Smuggler." The authorities arranged a sting operation ensnaring Cuevas' sister, his, girlfriend and an other person, who told investigators they were smuggling contraband into the jail through a deputy. They identified Sutherland as that deputy in a photo lineup.
Sutherland, it turned out, had accepted hundreds of dollars in cash — more than once — to deliver packages containing illegal items into the jail. The Sheriff's Office suspended him after he failed a voice stress analysis test and later fired him.
Sutherland initially was arrested in December 2008 on state counts of malfeasance in office and conspiring to introduce contraband into the jail. The Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office refused the case in June 2009, but federal prosecutors filed charges against the former deputy in April 2014.
"He's pretty good at keeping secrets because when he got in trouble with the contraband, I'm the last person in the world that would have believed it," Tyronne Sutherland said. "He made a stupid mistake, and he paid for it."
In September, when he returned to court to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval, Tyrell Sutherland faced a maximum of five years behind bars. He was scared, his father said, and believed he was headed to prison.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite Jr., in a statement after Sutherland's guilty plea, said the former deputy's decisions had "jeopardized the safety of his fellow sheriff's deputies and the inmates he was entrusted to protect." The U.S. Attorney's Office, Polite added, would not tolerate "this type of misconduct that undermines public trust in our law enforcement community."
Prosecutors, however, didn't argue for Sutherland to receive prison time at the September sentencing. For his part, Sutherland apologized emotionally, saying he knew he'd broken the law in taking the bribes. "When I did stop, it was too late," he said. "I put my father through so much because he also worked at the facility."
Duval sentenced Sutherland to three years of probation. "I'm still trying to figure out how he got the probation," the elder Sutherland said, adding that he believed his son could have been "doing something for the feds" in exchange for the leniency.
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment.
New Orleans police say there's no evidence Sutherland's death was tied to his federal case.
On the night of the shooting, Sutherland had driven to New Orleans East and parked on the street corner, said Morton, the homicide detective. "It appears it was more of a social call," Morton said.
He was shot several times and ran about 50 feet from the vehicle before apparently collapsing at the spot where he was found mortally wounded. His pockets had not been turned out, but Sutherland's father said he was found without an ID, suggesting a robbery.
He was taken to a hospital but later succumbed to his injuries, leaving his family bereft just before Christmas.
"When you have a person that's in and out of the hospital and sick or something and you hear of them passing, you don't want to accept it, but it's inevitable," Tyronne Sutherland said. "When you have a person walking around and there isn't anything wrong with them and the next you know they're dead, that's a problem."
Anyone with information about Sutherland's shooting death is asked to call New Orleans police at (504) 658-5300.

I lost my best friend last night... Rocky, my Blue & Gold Macaw, would have been 30 in August. He was perfectly fine yesterday morning 5/8/17. He ate normal, drank normal, did his happy morning dance along with his morning "OOhh" when he got him morning treat. I went to the feed store down the street to get more seed for my finches. When I came back home he did his happy dance to see me back home. Not even an hour later (4:00pm), He was on the bottom of his cage pooing blood. I immediately called my avian vet that I take all my birds to for their wellness exams. Told her what was going on & they said to bring him in ASAP. I drove form Florissant, CO to Colorado Spings, CO (an hour drive in less that 35-40 min). When I got there, they did their diagnostic on him & found he had both heart disease & cancer. Neither had showed up in his last wellness exam. They asked if I would want to euthanize him because he had when so far downhill. I told them that if he is to pass, I would rather him be at home with family. They understood that. They gave him some fluids & oxygen along with some other medication for just in case if he did pull through that we can get him treated when he would be stronger, but they highly doubted that he would make it through the night.
I got home from the vet right at 9:00pm... By that time he had taken a really steep turn downhill. I sat with him in my arms petting him, talking to him so that he know I was there. I told him he was a good boy & that I loved him very much. I gave him a kiss on his head, he looked at me & passed. I feel that he knew how much he was loved & that he wasn't alone. I wish that there was something else that could be done & that his issues would of turned up in his last exam. I picked out a very beautiful place to lay him to rest. It over looks the lake in our front yard when he would always want to look across when we were outside.
Fly free my beautiful Rocky sweetheart! You will forever be loved & very deeply missed.
Rocky looking over our lake
Just being a sweetheart

Here's a 16 year old founder who knows how to GTD
Want to build your app with Gigster? Start a project and discuss it with us today.
To all outside appearances Rustin Rassoli is your average teenager but the reality is that he's anything but average. This enthusiastic young Texan has been making money online, investing in apps and build technology for the past six years — quite a feat considering he's only sixteen.
Like most great entrepreneurs he's combining new technology, personal experience and a contrarian view of the world to drive his next project. So what is Rustin working on next?
Where It Began
In May of 2015, Rustin was celebrating his mother's birthday when he found a handwritten card she'd propped on the kitchen counter. It struck Rustin that with the shift to ephemeral technology like Snapchat his generation was used to receiving digital communication but physical cards were rare and that "when it does, it makes people feel so special."
It was a lightbulb moment for Rustin and he instantly realized he'd found his next project — Greetale.
Greeting Card Market
Rustin realized that there's still a market for people who like receiving physical cards. His own mother was living proof. In the early days of the web digital cards were a massive hit and the prevailing assumption was that physical cards would become obsolete.
Whilst the industry is shrinking it's still projected to be a US$21B industry in 2020. In a digital world the tangibility and novelty of a physical card stands out and that's what makes it an interesting market. New technology has also made it possible to create greeting cards in a way that you simply couldn't before.
Rustin coupled this insight with his tech-minded approach to launch his next project. As Rustin puts it: "Now that we're in an on-demand economy, I felt, why not create greeting cards on demand?"
How It Works
Greetale, currently available for iOS only with an Android version planned, fills the void created by the shift to digital communication. Users download the app, select their design and write what they want to put in the card. Unlike other greeting cards, the app is predicated on the concept of using your handwriting to truly personalize the experience. That's what makes Greetale truly unique.
According to Rustin, "[Greetale] is the 2016 way of sending greeting cards. We make it easier, cheaper, and faster to send greeting cards with your own handwriting inside them right from your phone. Write what you want on a piece of paper, take a picture of it in the app, and the app will send your card physically!"
The app offers both digital and physical cards, giving users the experience of personalized greetings wherever they are.
Making It Happen
Rustin has funded most of the project himself from money he's made selling electronics on eBay — a business he got into at the age of 10. He also secured a $1,000 grant from Danielle Strachman of the 1517 fund.
As a seasoned app entrepreneur (at 15, Rustin invested in two apps), he's previously worked with overseas development teams and soon came to realize that they're not the ideal match for the development of Greetale. Quality, speed of execution and communication across time zones were his prime concerns.
He shifted focus to finding a person or team in the United States to supply the tech resources he needed. His primary fear was that it would be expensive. He first heard about Gigster from a TechCrunch article and he immediately got in touch to get a quote.
Talking To Gigster
Rustin got in touch with Gigster to see if we could help and immediately, sales engineer Noah got back to him. "I was extremely impressed," Rustin said of the fast turnaround. Noah was able to give advice and guidance throughout the development process and they still keep in touch.
His experience with Gigster has been very positive — to the point that Rustin is hoping to join the Gigster team himself after the Greetale project wraps up. He's impressed by the Gigsters he works with and feels the Gigster model is a natural fit, "I was such a fan of the idea and the experience, and I like talking to people".
The relationship with Lob, the company he uses for printing and shipping cards, was also setup by Gigster. When Lob decided to stop making the key service Greetale needed available to new clients Gigster was able to step in and help out. Were it not for Gigster's relationship with Lob Greetale would have to have gone elsewhere to ensure physical delivery of cards — assuming others exist.
Sharing Greetale With The World
Greetale, which launched on February 2nd, built its momentum through visibility on Product Hunt when, with 134 upvotes, his app submission hit the front page of the site. Without any marketing budget Rustin has hustled to drive 500 digital card downloads and has sold $100 of physical cards using the cloud printing and shipping service Lob.
Rustin is definitely enjoying the momentum and likes watching people continue to use his app in unique ways. "I know the potential is definitely there. With 500 digital cards, I have had an effect on 500 people with nothing, with no college degree, at the age of 16."
What's Next For Rustin?
Rustin will be applying to college next year and, in typical entrepreneurial fashion, is looking to leverage the experience to build a larger network and potentially make some key hires amongst his classmates to take the app to the next level.
Go to Greetale.com and enter your phone number to try the app today.

text: In accordance with regulations of Fair Disclosure, Pericom will continue to only provide guidance via its earnings release and its conference calls. The company will not provide further guidance or updates during the quarter, unless it does so via press release.Please note that we are reporting non-GAAP financial measures for net income, gross profit and operating expenses in addition to our GAAP financial results. Due to the PTI acquisition, we have a significant amount of non-cash and non-operating expense items included in the income statement, which are not reflective of the performance for our normal business operations. The non-GAAP financial measures help to clarify the impact of these items. Aaron will discuss the financial performance for the quarter, and Alex will give us his comments on the industry and on Pericom's business. Then, Aaron will provide guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Aaron? Aaron Tachibana Thank you, Bob, and good afternoon, everyone. Our consolidated net revenues for the first quarter were $35.3 million, and decreased by 18% from the $43.3 million reported last quarter and decreased by 17% from the $42.8 million for the same period last year. Most end market segments declined sequentially due to the reduction of inventory by our distributors and direct customers. The distribution channel inventory declined approximately 11% sequentially, and exiting Q1 there was roughly 6.5 weeks of inventory, which was well within our normal range of six to 10 weeks. During the last four to five quarters, we had peaked around eight weeks, so 6.5 was really healthy given the economic situation. The Q1 geographic mix was as follows; Asia 90%, U.S. 6% and Europe 4%. And our sales by channel were; international distribution 65%, contract manufacturers 23%, OEMs 9%, and U.S. distribution 3%. Consolidated non-GAAP gross profit was $13.1 million for Q1 compared with $15.7 million last quarter and $15.1 million last year. Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter was 36.9%, and was up 70 basis points from last quarter's 36.2% and 160 basis points higher than last quarter's 35.3%.

Aamir Khan's youngest son, Azad Rao Khan is one of the most cutest kids in B-town. And recently, the little munchkin was clicked along with daddy Aamir, by some shutterbugs at a park in Bandra.
The duo is looking super cute with each other. The way Aamir is hugging the little baby, will surely warm the cockles of your heart. Dressed in a yellow t-shirt and blue pants, Azad is looking super-duper cute. While, Aamir was seen sporting a casual black tee paired up with blue track pants!
Click On 'View Photos' To Check Out All The Pictures: (Pics Courtsey: @The_AKFC)
Azad was born on Dec 1, 2011 and recently, the toddler celebrated his 4th birthday. As a matter of fact, Azad is a surrogate baby to Aamir & Kiran. On one side, where many of us still look at surrogacy with suspicion, Aamir &Kiran have always opted to be open about it.
OH MY GOD! Navya Naveli Nanda Shares Her HOTTEST PICTURES Ever; Also Spotted With SRK's Son Aryan!
Proud mother Kiran had always expressed that she wants Azad to have a normal childhood just like any other kid. She had said, "I guard Azad's privacy a lot. I try very hard not to let his view of the world be different, because he is the son of a big star. I know this is the way things are, but I hope he to have as much normalcy in his life as much as possible... despite having a famous father,"
"I don't know if I would fit in or enjoy it when things are written or spoken about us. I think it is quite natural if there is any big celebrity... everything that happens in the family is out (in the news). I am getting used to it. But I still value my privacy a lot," she added.

Mr. Philippson had come here to participate in the meeting of the Jewish Colonization Association. His body will be taken to Brussels, Belgium, for burial.
Franz Philippson was born in Magdeburg on March 12, 1851, the son of Ludwig Philippson. He was educated in Brussels where in 1871 he founded the banking house which has since taken part in most of the municipal loans and commercial enterprises in Belgium, Italy, Brazil and other countries.
In 1884 he was elected president of the Jewish community of Brussels and a member of the Consistoire Israelite de Belgique.
A farewell reception, planned by the lca on the departure of Dr. and Mrs. James Bernstein for the United States, was cancelled when Mr. Philippson's death occurred.

Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come
In this intriguing look at one of the most talked-about books in Scripture, Jeff Cavins explores Revelation to demonstrate how the kingdom established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven, especially through the celebration of the Mass. You will learn what all the mysterious figures and images of Revelation present, as well as what will happen during the Second Coming of Christ, what has already happened, and what is happening now in salvation history.
Should you wish to purchase the books earlier, they will be available in the St. Rita Parish Office for $30. Stop by any time the offices are open to get your copy.
All Cathedrals around the world have opened a Holy Door in observance of this "Year of Mercy", as declared by Pope Francis. All are welcome to come and cross over the threshold of the Holy Door during the Year of Mercy.
Pope Francis is calling everyone to
"Keep alive the desire to know how to welcome the numerous signs of the tenderness which God offers to the whole world and,
above all,
to those:
who suffer,
who are alone and abandoned,
who are without hope of being pardoned,
or feeling the Father's love."
St. Agnes—Our Lady of Fatima
Those passing by St. Agnes-Our Lady of Fatima Church on Sunday mornings can't help but notice the crowds arriving for Mass. Parishioners warmly greet each other and visitors before Mass begins. The music is invigorating. The congregation sings, prays and moves as drums and a piano accompany the choir.
"The biggest evangelization tool of our parish is inviting family and friends to attend Mass here," said Capuchin Father Bob Marva, pastor for 11 years. "There is a sense of welcoming, hospitality and communication. The liturgy is lively. People come for worship, but we also serve other needs."
The 430-family parish recently celebrated its first Advent and Christmas seasons in its brand-new worship space, which was dedicated by Bishop Richard Lennon on November 25, 2015.
"St. Agnes-Our Lady of Fatima is a robust and growing parish in the inner city. This "Church in the City" is a success story, thanks to its dedicated parishioners," said Father Marva, also known to his community as Brother Bob.

Luetkemeyer Statement on Second Amendment Restrictions
Following is a statement from U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-9) about the U.S. Attorney General's decision to seek restrictions on our Second Amendment right:
"I am extremely disappointed by Attorney General Holder's comments in support of renewing the Assault Weapons Ban. Restricting the Constitutional Rights of law-abiding citizens is not the way to make our country safer. In Congress, I will always vote to protect the rights of my constituents, including the right to keep and bear arms."

The most popular website with politicians is one rating their own sexiness
The most popular forbidden website accessed by Members of the UK Parliament is SexyMP.co.uk.
MPs have looked up the banned site that rates them on their sex appeal over half a million times - on their work computers.
The Conservative Party are in the lead, having taken nine out of the ten tops spots for sex appeal.
Prime Minister David Cameron creeps in at number 228.
Attempts by officials to block SexyMP.co.uk - which asks visitors which MP they would prefer to sleep with and think is most attractive - have failed.

Your Nissan dealership isn't the only place to buy trusted repair parts to fix your 720. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today. You purchased your 720 because its best-in-class value and economical pricing appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? It's not every day that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Throttle Position Sensor for your vehicle.
Constant communication between the ECU and throttle position sensor is required to maintain an ideal balance between fuel efficiency and power output. On your Nissan 720, the throttle position sensor reads how far open the butterfly plates are inside the throttle body and tells the ECU how to respond. It may lower the amount of fuel being sent to the injectors, or it may downshift the transmission and give you a boost of power. Either way, the Nissan 720 throttle position sensor is absolutely critical to your engine performance.
Don't let a broken Throttle Position Sensor bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best repair parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Nissan 720 Throttle Position Sensor parts for 1986, 1985 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

The 'Sorry' singer showed off his tattoo chest and facial scruff as he posed for GQ magazine's March issue cover. In the edition, it is revealed that Justin Bieber loves Hailey Baldwin!
In the men's magazine, Justin talks about his relationship with the model Hailey Baldwin, whom he met when he was just 13 years old!
He looks absolutely handsome as he graces the magazine's cover clad in a suit. While referring to Hailey he said, 'Someone I really love. We spend a lot of time together.'
The couple haven't made their relationship official yet. But, news reports hold that Hailey wants her relationship with Justin to be exclusive.
Justin and Hailey were romantically linked up last year, 2015. But, nothing was conformed until Jutsin took to Instgaram to post a picture of himself having a lip lock with Hailey!
But, the relationship between the duo was clearly denied by Hailey's father Stephen Baldwin. The actor is known for his role in the show Usual Suspects.
Talking to the magazine about his childhood, Justin said, 'Everyone when they start growing up realizes, "Man, I did some dumb s*** when I was younger,'"
Was he referring to egging neighbor's house incident? Well, you'll never know. He clarified that his song 'Sorry' was for a girl and not dedicated to the neighbor, whose house he egged!
'It's not just me. If I could go back I wouldn't really change much. I think it's all my journey. That stuff made me who I am.' He added.

Hosting Hollywood's night of nights was always going to be a tough gig but to this year's compere, Neil Patrick Harris, it was far worse - it was "bad for the soul".
Harris hosted the 87th Academy Awards but said he is not likely to reprise the role.
"I don't know that my family nor my soul could take it," he said in an interview with The Huffington Post.
"It's a beast. It was fun to check off the list, but for the amount of time spent and the understandable opinionated response, I don't know that it's a delightful balance to do every year or even again."
It was hard to tell if it was his soul or the ratings which inspired his decision.
This year's show was the least watched in six years, according to early Nielsen estimates as cited by The Huffington Post.
Just 36.6 million viewers tuned in, down 16 per cent from last year's broadcast which Ellen DeGeneres hosted.
But before Harris makes his decision final, the Hollywood Reporter said the 71 per cent of viewers voted that they would like to see Harris return as host in the future.
The BBC said the lack of blockbusters in this year's award lineup was to be blamed for the show's ratings.
But this may also be attributed to the lack of DeGeneres selfies or free pizza the previous year's show enjoyed.
"It's so difficult for one who's simply watching the show to realize just how much time and concession and compromise and explanation has gone into almost every single thing. Every joke. Wording of joke. Placement of joke. Canceling of joke," Harris said.
"And I'm not saying that to defend everything I said as if it was the absolute best choice, but it's also an award show, and you're powering through 14 acts filled with 20 plus awards. So my job was to try and keep things as light and specific to this year's set of films as possible. And if people are critical of that, it's a big giant platform, so I would assume that they would be."
Not even stripping down to his underwear was enough to get the audience going. His joke about a locked box file with his pre-Oscar predictions also fell flat.
Harris is known for his role as Barney Stinson in the TV comedy series How I Met Your Mother and has also hosted other award shows such as the Tony and Emmy Awards.
His performance as host followed the footsteps of Anne Harthaway and James Franco who also received poor reviews for their 2011 hosting gigs.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Tuesday, Mar 30,2004 6:51 AM
With an immediate effect, the Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) has decided to refrain from airing advertisements that contain personal attack on any political leader or party.
As per the self-regulation, broadcasters, affiliated with the national organisation, would turn down advertisements from any society, trust, political party, candidates etc. assaulting the image of any leader of group. "We will not welcome any kind of personal harassment of attack through advertisements," said IBF Secretary General NP Nawani.
Refusing to comment on the issues referring to Prime Minister Vajpayee or Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Nawani said a panel of members would consider the content of every single advertisement. "We will allow only those who come clean and, under any circumstances, we are not going to entertain those aiming to tarnish the opponent by whatever means," he mentioned while talking to exchange4media.com.
The self-regulation from the broadcasters foundation also focuses on the non-advertisement political programmes on the television. In case of political discussions, debates, speeches and others of their ilk, the entire editorial control would be vested on the participating leaders. "We want to maintain certain levels of decency and decorum," Nawani said.

There has been an outbreak of a virus called Ebola in central Africa. That virus is
extremely infectious but not very contagious. Only one single virus can make you sick but because it can`t travel through air the virus cant spread very fast. The infection is transmitted through body fluids. In 1976 the virus was recognized in the river Ebola. The first symptoms usually appear 8-10 days after the infection. The most common symptoms are weakness, fever, aches, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. There are five different Ebola viruses. Four out of five are infectious to humans. No treatment has been fount jet.
On September 30. the first case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the U.S. A man came back from Libya on September 20. and four days later he showed first symptoms and went to isolation four days after that. Now there is a search for all the people that person had contact with in that period of time. All of these people will have to be cept in quarantine for three weeks.
Concepts Related to This Story:
National Security
Providing public Services
National Security is related to this story because Ebola originated in Africa and the U.S. helps the people in Africa and tries to protect their own people who are there and sick. They try to prevent the diseasefrom spreading especcialy to the U.S.
Because Ebola has spread to the U.S. the story also relates to the concept of providing public services. The goverment trys to prevent the diseasefrom spreading and provides quarantine fore the sick.

Operation Stand Down Coat Drive
Every October, the Veteran's Assistance Commission conducts a Stand Down for homeless veterans and veterans in need. A Stand Down allows veterans in need to receive a medical and dental assessment, a haircut, and a referral for other counseling services, if needed. In addition, with winter approaching, the VAC has long strived toward the goal of providing each veteran in need with a winter coat. All of this is done in an attempt to restore the dignity of our veterans and their families who now find themselves in need.
Mike Peck, the Superintendent of the VAC had, in years past, asked the Vernon Hills Police Department to take the lead in coordinating the supply of winter coats for Lake County homeless veterans and veterans in need. At that time, this effort was relatively easy, as the number of veterans in need and therefore the number of coats needed was generally around 100 or so. We had an area resident, who during the "good economic times," wrote a check to cover the cost of the coats. As the economy worsened, the number of veterans in need has ballooned to nearly four times that, and the resident is no longer able to make the economic commitment that he had in the past to cover the cost of the coats. In 2010, Coach Wood of the Grayslake North High School football team graciously offered the coats that were collected by the North and Central football programs when North hosted the rivalry game, so we were able to meet our goal. Every item of clothing that was not selected by a veteran or their family member was turned over to a charity, and in return, a monetary donation was made to the VAC. The VAC then converted these donations into vouchers that were provided to veterans needing emergency assistance.
As the economy has worsened, more veterans have sought the assistance of the VAC, and more charitable organizations are needed to help address this issue. In 2015, the support that was received from Lake County high schools was unbelievable.
2015 Results
In October, the Vernon Hills Police Department delivered approximately 25 very large bags of coats to the Midwest Veterans Closet in North Chicago. In fact, it took three trips to get them all there. A majority of the coats were collected over the summer at the Motors on Milwaukee Cruise Night. The remaining were from several Lake County High Schools (including VHHS) as well as the drop-off box that was in our lobby. Remember, this was only the coats that VHPD delivered! That's a lot of coats! Here's a few pictures from the days of delivery. (Pictured with the employees at the Midwest Veterans Closet is Officer Dan Mead. In the bottom right picture Officer Mead is accompanied by (left to right) Marine Veteran John Slovinec, Midwest Veteran's Closet Manager Carrie Price and Army Veteran Gary Spicer.)

Programming Note: Get set for tonight's Warriors-Sixers matchup from Philly with Warriors Pregame Live at 4:30 p.m., then sit back and enjoy the game action at 5 p.m., only on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area!
It has happened a few times earlier this season and it seemsto be happening again: Theres an air of optimism around the Warriors. Theyvewon three of their past four games, including two on the road and in their past14 games theyre a very respectable 8-6.
The Warriors are coming off a nice win over the Hawks inAtlanta on Wednesday, giving them a 1-1 start on their five-game trip.At 14-18, theyre still on the outskirts of the WesternConference playoff race -- 12th in the conference and three gamesout of the eighth and final playoff spot -- but, hey, thats probablytechnically considered hanging around.Pregame CHAT NOW with Warriors Insider Matt Steinmetz!
On Friday night the Warriors play the Sixers in Philly, andthen they finish the trip off against Toronto (11-24) and Washington (7-28), twoextremely winnable games despite being a back-to-back at the end of atrip.So, lets take a look for a few things to watch for againstPhiladelphia:Assess Philly early: The Sixers areplaying the middle game of a three-game homestand, and theyre coming off atough loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. The Bulls come to town onSunday.Now throw in there the fact that Philly has lost six of itspast seven games and probably is feeling like it needs a win. The first sixminutes should give you a snippet of where the Sixers are at.Do they play with some desperation against the Warriors,knowing they could be looking at a winless homestand and extended slump? Or arethey simply a team not clicking right now that the Warriors can take advantageof?Battle between benches: Perhaps thebrightest spot this season for the Warriors has been their bench. Among EkpeUdoh, Brandon Rush, Dominic McGuire, Klay Thompson and Nate Robinson, the teamusually has at least a couple of players to rely on off the bench.GAME LOGS: Udoh Rush McGuire Thompson Robinson
But the Sixers very well may have the bench best in the NBA.Their leading scorer, Lou Williams, comes off the bench along with ThaddeusYoung and Evan Turner. With the injury to starting center Spencer Hawes, rookieNikola Vucevic has moved into the rotation and also done a nice job.Curry vs. Holiday: Warriors point guardStephen Curry has been banged up with a strain in his right foot but he couldplay Friday. If he does, hell be matched up against another good point guard,Jrue Holiday.Holiday is not the shooter that Curry is, but Holiday ismore of a true point guard and is a better defender than Curry.If Curry plays, you would think the Warriors would have achance to win this matchup. Without Curry, its up to the rest of the Warriorsto help limit Holiday.
