The Unesco on Wednesday launched the Global Education Monitoring Report 2016 showing a slight yet steady reduction in the number of Pakistani out-of-school children during the last two years.
According to the report launched during a special ceremony here, 24 million Pakistani children are currently out of schools though the number was 25 million in 2015 and 26 million in 2014. Also, the number of schools with missing facilities like toilets has come down to 28 percent from 33 percent last year.
Featuring leading voices and distinguished experts from government, international organizations, civil society and academia, the report, previously known as the Education for All Global Monitoring Report, is an editorially independent, authoritative, and evidence-based annual report by the Unesco.
With the core mandate of monitoring progress towards educational targets in the new Sustainable Development Goals framework, it receives immense attention and support from policy makers, media and general public nationally and internationally.
Minister of state for federal education and professional training Muhammad Balighur Rehman, who was the chief guest during the ceremony, said he was happy to see improvement in numbers on school enrollments and facilities.
"This Global Education Monitoring Report has got a new directive to review the progress of education under the 2030 Agenda. It not only looks into the education sector but also focuses on the relationship of education and other sustainable developments goals. And for that, our government has already adopted SDG4 and has converted it into our national development goals, education has always been our first priority and we are fully committed to it," he said.
The minister appreciated the thematic part of the report which highlights 6Ps (Planet, prosperity, people, peace, place and partnership) and it also indicates towards the 7th P which is Pakistan.
He added that poverty reduction, hunger eradication, improved health, gender equality and empowerment, sustainable agriculture, and just societies etc, could be achieved through quality education.
"Your thinking defines the course you take so keep up your faith and don't lose your heart in the way. We must point out and try to rectify whatever we feel is going wrong in our society but that does not mean that we should overlook whatever good is happening in Pakistan," he said.
According to him, in order to find a solution to a problem, we must identify it first, this report has identified many problems in education sector which is the first step toward finding the solutions to all the issues mentioned in it, stated the minister.
"If we look at the brighter side, we can safely say that we are on the right path. Our government came with a clear vision and we adopted 4Es strategy (Extremism, Energy, Economy, and Education) and we have been able to improve each and every sector of society, be it education or energy issue," he said. The minister said the government had adopted Vision 2025 in which the SDGs were fully imbedded.
"All the provincial governments are on board in this regard, while the NCHD has been mandated to achieve literacy rate of 90 per cent by 2019. We have established National Curriculum Council in which we have emphasised upon the character building, civic sense and care for the environment the most," he said.
The minister said the ministry had decided to revise the examination system of boards in the country, while major focus was also on national assessment system. He congratulated the team of Unesco and their partners for launching the report and said he hoped that the report would be beneficial for both policymakers and educationists. The ceremony was also attended by Senator Razina Alam Khan, Unesco Director Vibeka Jensen, Unicef's Angela Kearney and UNHCR's Indrika Ratwatte.

Global events are apparently conspiring to create some increase in the cost of business aircraft interiors. Ed Harris, director of sales and marketing for Fiber Art of San Antonio, said his company has recently sent letters to its customers advising them that prices this year are going up by about 15 percent. "The composites industry," said Harris, "is very sensitive to the price of oil, and the price of oil is going up." Most composites, he pointed out, are petroleum-based, and the price of shipping is rising as the price of gas goes up. Another interior ingredient that is expected to create an increase in costs is the rising demand for steel. Craig Estep, v-p of operations at Cessna, said the cost of steel is going up "dramatically" as a result of the increased demand by a growing economy in the People's Republic of China. Anticipating a reviving economy, Estep said Cessna has already asked its vendors to keep a 90-day supply in reserve.

Streaking benefits ✔
I am currently on day 32 of my running streak and I am really LOVING it. Its boosted my performance, my va va voom and also taken away all the random faff of planning....
Gains so far:
Weekly mileage slowly going up ✔
I have no structure- the rule is to do what I fancy depending on my mood and how my body feels ✔
I am getting stronger. I did 7 miles on my trail both Sat and Sun ( pic taken at the top of the hill) and the hills felt Ok, I felt great. I woke this morning and decided to do a tempo 5k and loved that feeling of speed... ✔
On 'rest' days ( or days I feel tired) I run the 1.5 miles slowly to the childminders to collect my daughter loaded up with drinks and sweets, then we walk back together through the fields chatting. Its brought us closer having that time together. ✔
On Thursdays I run to the gym for my spinning class and run back. That usually really tires me out but it feels great to be able to ✔
There are no real downsides for me yet...
I do however have a goal I am aiming for. I want to do the HM distance in under 2 hours. I will not be following a plan but I think I need one more session a week of interval type work. I do my 30,20,10 usually once but I need another session. My 5k time this morning was 27.26 and I want to take 1.5 minutes off that as that is the recommended time to get to my goal. What do you guys recommend, and what has worked for you?
Happy panthering

Feeding a big group of pigs is like merging onto a motorway full of fast moving trucks whose drivers got their licenses from the dodge-ems at a fair. And all the drivers are half crazed with thirst and my truck is carrying the beer!
Happy pigs.
My friend Kristy (eatplayloveblog) had Camera House yesterday and was able to catch a little of this frenzy on camera for you.
I am carrying 5 gallon buckets of warm porridge. Their favourite! But I am awkward and they profess to be starving. So I am careful.
They quickly settle down to scoffing and coughing. PIGS, the lot of them.
Tane getting his egg of the evening.
I hope you have a lovely day.

CrossFit and Nutrition
Having the right diet for your workout is very important. Making sure you have enough energy to workout at your best potential and the best nutrients to build muscle and burn fat is key. This is especially important for CrossFit fanatics or people focused on building muscle and strength. For anyone into CrossFit or learning about it, here is a bit of info on what you should or should not eat while living a CrossFIt life.
For those of you who don't know, what is CrossFit? CrossFit is essentially a workout program that is "constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity". It's focus is strength and conditioning exercises that improve stamina, endurance, speed, coordination, balance, power, agility and accuracy. Exercises range from gymnastics to weight lifting to body weight exercises, and to aerobic exercises. Workouts are typically an hour long and consist of a warm up, instruction, a high intensity WOD (workout of the day), and then you'd stretch.
What is a good diet for this type of workout? A diet that consists of proteins, vegetables (especially green ones), nuts/seeds, little starches (no pastas, breads, crackers, rice, etc), little fruits, added fats and NO refined/processed sugars.
What shouldn't I eat? Avoid high-glycemic carbs such as rice, breads, pastas, sweets, candy, potatoes (white especially – sweet potatoes/yams are okay in moderation), and other processed carbohydrates. These will cause you a handful of health problems. Avoid processed food, fast food and sweets. Learning how to cook (if you don't know how to already) is going to benefit you the best. Restaurants (fast food or not) are going to fill your food with ingredients you should avoid!!
Isn't this like the Paleo Diet? Yes! It truly is basically the Paleo diet/lifestyle. Just like Paleo, you should eat clean and you'll see results.
Tips on how to get used to this kind of eating: Take baby steps. First start by cutting out one of the "should not eat" foods. Then once you're used to that food being gone, cut out another and keep doing that until you're eating clean. Taking baby steps will ensure your success since you're not just throwing yourself in and expecting miraculous results. Some people can do that, and if it works for you, then go for it. But for everyone else, just take baby steps. Do this at your own pace, make it a part of your lifestyle. Don't think of it as a diet, think of it as a healthy life change. And remember that you will get used to it, and you will eventually prefer it and get sick when you eat something junky again! I am serious. When I eat bad processed foods now, I get a tummy ache.
Are there any meal plans/guides for this lifestyle? YES! We just released a new Meal Plan App in the iTunes app store for iPad or iPhone. Each week we release a new set of recipes that add up to roughly 1300-1900 calories a day. You can up the calories if you want, or you can swap out any recipes you don't like for something you do like. The app also provides a grocery list. You can try it out Free, with dinners free for a week and then subscribe monthly if you think it will be helpful to you on your journey. Tap on this button to try it out today:

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase edible glitter that looks like glitter? I have a book by Peggy Porschen "Pretty Party Cakes" and she uses it on some cookies I want to make. Any help is really appreciated.
I don't know where you live but Sweet Wise in Nashville, TN has it and she ships. They do not have a web site, yet, but she does ship and if she doesn't have it on hand she will order it. 615-847-1445 (Maybe she will tell you where she orders it from.)
http://www.countrykitchensa.com/ in Fort Wayne, Indiana carries it and all sorts of other stuff. They ship stuff very promptly. I have very good luck ordering from them.
Thank you both!! I'm in CT and nobody seems to have stuff like that. Again Thank you.

New Penrith captain Matt Moylan will get his first taste in the halves as part of a strong 32-man squad for Saturday's NRL trial against Canterbury.
Coach Anthony Griffin has left no stone unturned in his first match in charge at the club, calling on almost his entire squad for the clash, with only injured pair Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Andy Saunders not considered.
All Stars Jamie Soward, Tyrone Peachey, Leilani Latu and Trent Merrin also won't be playing.
But Moylan's 20-minute stint at five-eighth will be of most interest as Griffin considers finally caving-in to his highly-anticipated move to the halves.
The 24-year-old will play just 40 minutes in total in what also marks as his comeback from a serious ankle injury that ended his 2015 season in May last year.
"Obviously being in the front line at five-eighth I'll be doing a bit more defending so that's probably going to be the only difference for me," Moylan said on Friday.
"It's something I have been working on over the off-season so to get out there during the pre-season and play will be good.
"I just want to get out there and play some good footy. I haven't played for that long so I'm just trying to find some form and build the season from there."
The City Origin representative shrugged off comparisons to Brisbane legend Darren Lockyer, who switched to five-eighth only after winning the Golden Boot award as the best player in the world in his eighth season.
Moylan is in just his fourth season.
"To be compared to someone like him is massive. I think he's one of the best players who has ever played the game. I'm a long way from that," he said.
"I'm only starting out and want to get out there and play some good footy. I never really read too much into it. I knew I was only early into my career, and was more focused on cementing a spot in first grade."
New recruits Peta Hiku, Ben Garcia, Andrew Heffernan, Sitaleki Akauola, Te Maire Martin, Suaia Matagi, and Viliami Kikau all get their chance to impress ahead of the upcoming season.
Penrith open their season against Canberra on March 5.

Last summer, I had a customer who needed a gown for her daughter's wedding. This gown, which was strapless, had a bodice and flowing skirt of 4-ply silk crepe. Since 4-ply silk crepe is a fabric I don't work with often, and since I was dreading the hemming, I called my friend, Lynda Maynard. She's the queen of silky, flowing fabrics, and I knew she'd have a finish that was beautiful as well as efficient.

Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Cisco Systems as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, attractive valuation levels and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 10.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Although CSCO's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.28 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 2.65, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Communications Equipment industry and the overall market, CISCO SYSTEMS INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for CISCO SYSTEMS INC is rather high; currently it is at 65.64%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 16.48% trails the industry average.

A new breach revealed by Yahoo compromises twice as many user accounts as the record hack it disclosed in September.
It seems Yahoo has outdone itself.
The company said Wednesday that it was hit by yet another hacking attack, this time affecting more than 1 billion user accounts. That's double the number affected by a hack revealed in September.
The hack occurred in August 2013. Stolen data included users' names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and encrypted passwords. Those passwords are scrambled up with an encryption tool called MD5, which experts say is possible to crack with some patience. The data also included some security questions and answers, some of which weren't encrypted.
"Yahoo is notifying potentially affected users and has taken steps to secure their accounts, including requiring users to change their passwords," the company said in a statement. "Yahoo has also invalidated unencrypted security questions and answers so that they cannot be used to access an account."
Among the victims are more than 150,000 US government and military employees, presenting a threat to national security, according to a Bloomberg report. The accounts belong to current and former White House staff, congressmen and their aides, FBI agents, officials at the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and each branch of the US military.
The breach is another black eye for Chief Executive Marissa Mayer, who joined Yahoo in 2012 amid great fanfare. The former Google executive was charged with turning Yahoo around and tried to bring the lumbering company into the smartphone era. She made big bets on mobile, refreshing all of the company's mobile apps, but Yahoo hasn't been able to make much money off her projects.
The announcement caps off a rough few months for the troubled tech giant and leaves another blemish on a company seeking to sell itself to Verizon. When Yahoo announced a separate data breach in September, in which hackers in 2014 swiped user information from half a billion accounts, it was said to be the biggest cybersecurity breach ever.
Two weeks later, the company again came under fire after a report said Yahoo built tools to surveil customers' emails for US intelligence officials.
All the while, Yahoo has been awaiting its fate with Verizon, which agreed to buy the company for $4.8 billion in July. The deal is set to close in the first quarter of next year, but Yahoo's disclosure of the previous hack had given Verizon executives pause about the deal.
"We are confident in Yahoo's value and we continue to work toward integration with Verizon," a Yahoo spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Verizon issued a statement that didn't say whether the news of the hack would have an impact on the acquisition. "As we've said all along, we will evaluate the situation as Yahoo continues its investigation," Verizon's statement read. "We will review the impact of this new development before reaching any final conclusions."
Sumit Argawal, co-founder and vice president of product at cybersecurity company Shape Security, said the increasingly damaging hacks that Yahoo has announced fit a clear pattern in companies that don't have their security locked down. Often, he said, companies and organizations start by describing their cybersecurity woes in small terms but keep adding new casualties to the list.
"When entities have mediocre security hygiene, they inevitably end up having lost the keys to a much larger kingdom than we originally thought," Argawal said.
The personal information hackers stole could be used in combination with other hacked data, he added. If a criminal already has a credit card number, he might be able to use the stolen Yahoo data to find the answers to security questions that go along with it, for example.
Yahoo said in its statement that it believes the hacking may be related to the same state-sponsored hacking group it suspects is responsible for the 2014 hack. To Dmitri Sirota, CEO of data protection company BigID, that's a sign that high profile individuals with Yahoo accounts might have been the real target of the hack.
"The reality is within that billion users, there's probably a couple politicians, a few celebrities, a few people in key industries," Sirota said.

Proof is that even though we ca have some knowledge benefits from yahoo , i suggest to use google because , once i was using yahoo. No doubt it was good. But not always. Yahoo is not having special features as google and google has facilities of apps like finance, work, maps, play store, blogger, keyboard, search engine, gmail, news and weather , translate, voice, calendar, camera, hangouts, , earth, drive, youtube, inbox, spell check..... And many more. Thus this proves that google is better than yahoo.

Yahoo on Thursday revealed a massive data breach of its services. Yahoo "has confirmed that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from the company's network in late 2014 by what it believes is a state-sponsored actor," the company posted on its investor relations page.
The stolen data include names, email addresses, telephone numbers, birthdays, hashed passwords, and some "encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers." Yahoo says it believes no payment card or bank account information was stolen.
Yahoo said it believes that at least 500 million user account credentials were stolen, which would make it the biggest breach of all time — bigger than the Myspace breach of 360 million user accounts and 427 million passwords.
The breach has turned out to be larger than the 200 million accounts previously expected.
Recode's Kara Swisher reported on Thursday that the breach could have implications for the $4.8 billion sale of Yahoo to Verizon, and that some shareholders may fear that it could change the price of the transaction. Yahoo says there is no evidence that the hacker still has access to Yahoo's network or internal services.
Here's the entire message from Yahoo:
"A recent investigation by Yahoo! Inc. has confirmed that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from the company's network in late 2014 by what it believes is a state-sponsored actor. The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers. The ongoing investigation suggests that stolen information did not include unprotected passwords, payment card data, or bank account information; payment card data and bank account information are not stored in the system that the investigation has found to be affected. Based on the ongoing investigation, Yahoo believes that information associated with at least 500 million user accounts was stolen and the investigation has found no evidence that the state-sponsored actor is currently in Yahoo's network. Yahoo is working closely with law enforcement on this matter.
"Yahoo is notifying potentially affected users and has taken steps to secure their accounts. These steps include invalidating unencrypted security questions and answers so that they cannot be used to access an account and asking potentially affected users to change their passwords. Yahoo is also recommending that users who haven't changed their passwords since 2014 do so.
"Yahoo encourages users to review their online accounts for suspicious activity and to change their password and security questions and answers for any other accounts on which they use the same or similar information used for their Yahoo account. The company further recommends that users avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails and that they be cautious of unsolicited communications that ask for personal information. Additionally, Yahoo asks users to consider using Yahoo Account Key, a simple authentication tool that eliminates the need to use a password altogether.
"Online intrusions and thefts by state-sponsored actors have become increasingly common across the technology industry. Yahoo and other companies have launched programs to detect and notify users when a company strongly suspects that a state-sponsored actor has targeted an account. Since the inception of Yahoo's program in December 2015, independent of the recent investigation, approximately 10,000 users have received such a notice.

Yahoo is shutting down a number of its content verticals, Yahoo global editor in chief Martha Nelson confirmed on Wednesday.
"On our recent earnings call, Yahoo outlined out a plan to simplify our business and focus our effort on our four most successful content areas – News, Sports, Finance and Lifestyle. To that end, today we will begin phasing out the following Digital Magazines: Yahoo Food, Yahoo Health, Yahoo Parenting, Yahoo Makers, Yahoo Travel, Yahoo Autos and Yahoo Real Estate," Nelson wrote.
In addition, a source familiar with the matter said that Yahoo was ending its tech vertical and moving some of its staff — including former New York Times columnist David Pogue — to Yahoo's news vertical. Eater first reported that the food vertical was being shut down and Skift first reported that the travel vertical was being shut down. Re/code also reports that the beauty vertical is being axed. In addition, Silicon Beat reports that Yahoo chief scientist Ron Brachman and V.P. of research Ricardo Baeza-Yates are leaving the company.
As part of the changes, Yahoo Tech editor in chief Dan Tynan is being laid off. Tynan, who joined Yahoo Tech as a columnist in December 2013 and became editor in chief of the vertical in July 2015, announced his departure in a farewell memo to staff.

Yahoo can't seem to generate hype no matter what they do. Their leadership lacks ambitions or vision. They don't know where to take this company further. With Yahoo's immense resources, they could have been great.
Yahoo! kinda fails at everything. They had the potential to be Google, yet due to poor management, they never aspire to get better.
Jesse "Burgerm'n" Radin They are better than Google at providing services.
Winnie Kirsch @Jesse "Billybobjoe" Radin: Example?
Yahoo got lucky for getting the 15% off Alibaba early, which now accounts for most of their market cap. Yahoo's core business isn't really generating a lot of profits anymore, as are many of Yahoo's acquisition. This is one poorly run business. They've gone from being a search engine to content provider. One hell of a downgrade.
Prometheus Folus I wonder when Yahoo got the Alibaba shares.
Jesse "Burgerm'n" Radin They are a good content provider.
Joel Rice posted a review
Yahoo seems to be doing everything wrong. It's gone from a competitor of Google into a non-factor in Silicon Valley. Every startup that was acquired by Yahoo! all ended up failing. Yahoo can be summed up in just one word: Sucks.
That is all.

Unemployment benefits may not necessarily demotivate people from finding new jobs. BBC reports on a British study that concluded even generous benefits levels had virtually no effect on the well-being of unemployed people. The paper from the University of Edinburgh examined jobless rates in 28 European countries and compared how being out of work affected people's general life satisfaction. Sweden and Luxembourg were in the top 25 per cent for both benefit levels and dissatisfaction among the unemployed. Conversely, Poland and Romania ranked in the bottom 25 per cent for benefit levels, but their unemployed people were among the least affected by being out of work. The study found that being unemployed in Germany hurt a person's well-being far more than anywhere else in Europe, and being out of work in Spain, Poland and Romania had "little effect" on subjective well-being.
It almost sounds too good to be true, but new evidence shows that the common herbs rosemary and spearmint could be effective in treating and preventing Alzheimer's disease. As reported by The Guardian, recent experiments at the St. Louis University of Medicine tested proprietary compounds made of spearmint extract and rosemary extract on mice afflicted with age-related cognitive decline. The rosemary extract had a significant effect in improving learning and memory, and the spearmint extract improved memory. Geriatrics professor Susan Farr cautioned that it's still too soon to know whether the herbs will do likewise in humans or what doses might be needed.
Does suggestive cigarette advertising still work? The Daily Mail reports on new research that shows teens and young adults who see a single tobacco ad often crave cigarettes for up to a week. The study took 134 college students in Pittsburgh and fitted them with devices that allowed them to document exposure to pro-smoking messages. Each time they saw one, their desire to light up increased by an average of 22 per cent, and in most cases that desire lasted a full seven days. "The results suggest that positive media messages about smoking are likely to influence behaviour even if opportunities to smoke occur infrequently," said psychologist Steven Martino.

Bella lives in New York recently fired from her well-paid job as a professional landscaper finds herself in absolute disarray. One of her best friends, David, is dying of AIDS, her mother is coming to visit her, she has an argument with her best friend who accuses her of stealing her boy friend and she finally finds work at a small (comparatively unknown) landscaping agency run by a mysterious and charming Edward Cullen. Bella suspects her boss of hiding a deadly secret from his employees and takes it upon herself to investigate the mystery further. Edward reveals his secret identity (no prizes for guesses on what it is, girls!) to Bella and also reveals his emotions to her. Bella is shocked when she is offered a proposal to give up her life and begin another, to take the uncertain road of eternity and live by her flawless prince in shining armour or to continue her journey as a human being?
(It may not be as obvious and cliché as it sounds!!)
Don't judge me too harshly, it's my first story and it's almost as muddled up as dearest Bella's life! Almost!!
Don't own the characters and the general imaginary theme of this fan-fiction story is all the property of the very creative Stephanie Meyer.
Chapter one: Étranger beau
(handsome stranger)
I walked slowly, against the tide of bustling busy New Yorkers. I looked down at my Calven & Karôl ballet flats which were studded with 24 carat diamonds that my mum bought me for my twenty sixth birthday, and sighed heavily, what an exhaustingly infuriating day.
Lauren fired me today for submitting my draft, yes my draft, late and Josephine wasn't speaking to me because Mike kissed me (and I kissed him back, apparently, but in my defence, I was drunk and it was like 2 a.m, neither of us recall it, only Lauren claims to have witnessed the pair of us 'thrashing about like a pair of restless eels' in the corner of Kaitlin's dimly lit lounge room), my Mum was coming to visit me from California and David was still in hospital, he was diagnosed with AIDS a few weeks ago.
I walked on, not quite knowing where my destination was, but I didn't quite care either. I walked past my old office, the tall lofty building where I worked as an outdoor landscaper; I wasone of the elite landscapers in New York.
I designed Diane Ferrara's rooftop getaway on Sussex Street, complete with a solar heated lap pool and a cabana. I also helped design Jennifer Harlen's rooftop, she said its main use would be for parties, so I used a lot of Jasmine and tropical flowers to create an exotic and sensual scent that would create a classy and almost trance-like ambiance, perfect for balmy summer nights. I used bright pink sparkle lights by Niccoló Designs to place among the Jasmine creepers and the Japanese "Sakura" tree which, when in full bloom, is full of delicate little pink flowers. There was also a nice, quiet water feature which ran through her garden which created a tranquil and romantic atmosphere. There was a hot tub, a treated bamboo stage (for live music) and when it was sunrise, my God, it was like a piece of heaven. I closed my eyes, reminiscing on my previous job; I am so
passionate about landscaping, designing dreams, creating places where people can lose themselves, forget about the mundane and stupid things that govern our restricted lives.
Now I didn't even have that. I walked, peering into the fashionable shops on Daleson Street, the delightful boutiques, full of exquisite garments, the patisserie, full of delicious bread and cakes, I walked on. I looked around, stealing glances at stranger's faces, trying to assess their lives and character through their clothing, their manner and expressions. I shook my head, I was clearly avoiding dealing with my troubles, jobless, almost friendless, lonely, mother coming to visit, close friend dying, and here I was fantasising about my old job, smelling expensive pastries and gazing at clothes I could have afforded once upon a time.
I shook my head once more and turned on the spot; I should return home and have a bubble bath or something. Not that I deserved it or anything, rather I needed it. As I turned abruptly on the sidewalk I collided with a tall man. I looked up to see the face of heaven smiling down upon me. I blinked rapidly, momentarily losing my composure as this man (can it be? For he is the epitome of perfection) gazed down at me, a soft smile on his face, his eyes glittering as I lost myself in his emerald green eyes. The exact colour of my favourite English green shrub, the very colour of the leaves of the Nancy box-cut tree, a cross specimen of a German...
"I am so sorry, I am really clumsy, as you may have noticed" I laughed nervously, he nodded quietly as his deep English green shrub/emerald eyes gazed into my light brown almond shaped eyes which mirrored nothing but paralysed astonishment at my sudden fortune of stumbling across a handsome stranger.
He smiled and looked at me in manner which suggested that he was fine.
"My name is Edward" he said, his melodious voice made everything around me seem like the cries of the banshee, his velvety voice etched itself into my memory.
"I'm Bella, Bella Swan" I stammered, one could hardly blame me; here I stood in front of the most handsome being one can visualize. I became acutely aware of Edward staring at my neck and hair.
I freed myself from his grasp and took a step back.
He gazed at me once again, as if trying to decipher my thoughts. I cocked my head to the side, watching him stare at me.
"What do you do Ms. Swan?" he asked, we began to walk in my direction together, he hardly took his eyes of mine, I could feel a strong attraction toward Edward and I was certain that it was mutual.
"I am a landscaper" I said, looking around, realizing that I did not know where I was going.
"Landscaper? That is undoubtedly interesting. So whereabouts do you work?" He asked, he looked at me earnestly, I could sense that his interest was sincere as his eyes lit up as soon as I uttered "landscaper".
"I worked for Roslyn Yves & co. Landscapers but I was fired this morning," I said in defeat, I sighed heavily, recalling my unceremonious dismissal.
Edward shook his head and he bit his lip, he looked as if he was fighting laughter. We continued to walk, slowly, both of us lost ourselves in the conversation, Edward told me that he ran a small, new landscaping agency in Rumsfeld and he was recruiting new talent.
"...and I told her that the she must plant the hedges to screen the cabana from the shed, she just looked at me and said that we'll have to plant the hedges on top of each other for them to screen the shed..." Edward said, telling me a story about his assistant Vanessa who could not understand that plants can grow. I laughed really hard as he told me about her follies.
We ate lunch together at the Mansfield Manor restaurant close to the Southbank. At the end of the day I had a new job and a great friend. Our personalities simply synched. He was laid back, calm and collected. I was always overflowing with energy, in a rush and excited, we seemed to effect each other's disposition when we were together. I could not help notice his inhuman beauty and though we went to the restaurant he declined to eat, he simply watched me eat and his green eyes seemed to change their shades as he laughed, as he watched me and as he remained silent.
His pale skin and the light purple rings under his eyes indicated that he hadn't slept in a while, his golden-brown hair which danced under the sunlight made me yearn to run my fingers through it.
"So, Miss Swan, I might see you soon, if you chose to accept my offer at Jardins Magique, I'm looking forward to hearing from you." Edward smiled; he looked at me professionally and nodded as he hailed a taxi.
It was so fast. I got fired today and a handsome stranger was tossed in my direction, offering me a new job. Not as well-paid as the last, but the company is very new to the market and it will grow, especially under the instruction of the alluring Edward Cullen.
It was twilight. I seriously needed a bubble bath to think about today's turn of events. I smiled to myself as I walked to catch my bus, my head filled with pleasant thoughts of Edward. The beautiful stranger. Le étranger beau.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - The Democratic "Restore Galloway" ticket is calling on Republican Mayor Don Purdy to cut his towing business ties with the township, alleging a conflict of interest.
Purdy is the owner of DP Towing in the township and is on call - on a rotating basis with four other towing outfits - to tow vehicles involved in accidents or being impounded by the Police Department. He is running for re-election to his Township Council seat this November.
Incumbent Councilman Jim McElwee, who is also seeking re-election, and the Democratic ticket's other candidates, Bill Montag, Cliff Sudler and Mike Suleiman, issued a statement this week alleging that the Police Department saying it is not a conflict of interest to call the mayor to tow vehicles doesn't pass anyone's smell test.
The slate said Purdy "should do the right thing" and end his business relationship with the township.
Purdy said McElwee and the others are playing politics and stressed that he is not paid by the township for his services.
"This is not a contract I'm bidding on. I feel like I'm talking in circles. There is no township money exchanging hands. Towing companies are paid by either the insurance company or the customer involved in the accident or impound," Purdy said.
He said he would never "do anything to put the township, my family or my business in jeopardy."
McElwee said he doesn't think Purdy is doing anything illegal but that it is inappropriate, since the mayor is benefiting financially through the township while he is office.
"This is not a new issue. This has been debated back and forth for a while. The Police Department makes it possible for him to tow cars. As an elected official, you have a responsibility to remove any unethical perception of a conflict of interest," McElwee said.
"A lot of people from the public believe this is a conflict of interest, and we're just adding our two cents. As the mayor he has the authority to make changes in policy that affect his business," McElwee said.
The Democratic candidates said that after concerns were raised in 2010 by residents and Republican Councilmen Tom Bassford and Dennis Kleiner, then-township Solicitor Mike Blee determined Purdy's business relationship was not a conflict of interest. At the time, Bassford told The Press of Atlantic City that he was "philosophically opposed to any councilman doing business with the township."
Purdy said he makes sure to leave the dais during Township Council meetings whenever anything about towing is discussed or voted on to be sure to avoid any perception of impropriety.
"And we don't play politics up on the dais. This shows that he (McElwee) has no morals, and I thought he was in this for the good of Galloway but he's not," Purdy said.
Council on Tuesday evening voted to introduce an ordinance to reduce insurance coverage for those that tow for the township from $2 million to $1 million. Purdy recused himself from the meeting during the discussion and vote.
Purdy pointed out that in 2009, when he first ran for a council seat, he had been towing for the township for about 10 years. The towing service he provides was examined by lawyers during the campaign and no conflict was found, Purdy said. Then in 2010, the issue was re-examined by the township solicitor and no conflict was found, he said.
Purdy said that when on call, towing operators are contacted by the Police Department if there is a vehicle that needs to be towed as a result of an accident or impound.
He isn't the only elected official in Atlantic County that tows for the municipality where he is elected. Former mayor and now Northfield Councilman Frank Perri owns Perri Auto Repair and Towing Service and tows for the municipality in rotation with five other companies.
"Over here this issue still comes up every once in awhile," said Perri, a Democrat. "I am not on a bid contract. This is on a rotation basis, which makes it fair to everyone. We don't bill the municipality, we bill the vehicle owner. There have been legal opinions back and forth on both sides for years."
Political adversaries have filed complaints against Perri over the 21 years he has been in politics, including complaints with the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, he said. Just this year, the issue resurfaced when the Northfield council moved to try to send towing service out to bid so Perri would be removed from the rotation, he said.
Perri said that as an elected official he expected the scrutiny, but he added that both he and Purdy were doing this work before they were elected.
"We were elected by the people knowing what we do for a living. I stood next to my tow truck in campaign literature. It was full disclosure. It's not like we are hiding anything," Perri said.
He called the attacks on Purdy another part of "political silly season" and had some advice for the Galloway mayor: "Hang in there or get out. Stick to your guns or get out."

|by the Dalai Lama ; edited by Nicholas Vreeland.
The Dalai Lama presents a comprehensive overview of the most important teaching of Buddhism. Perhaps the main difference between Buddhism and other religions is its understanding of our core identity: the existence of the soul or self, which is central in different ways to Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is actually denied in Buddhism. Further, belief in a "self" is seen as the main source of our difficulties. Yet a true understanding of this teaching does not lead one to a sense that life has no meaning--far from it, a genuine understanding leads to authentic happiness for an individual and compassion for others. In 2003 and 2007, the Dalai Lama gave a series of talks in New York on the Buddhist view of selflessness. This book, the result of those talks, is offered to help broaden awareness of this essential doctrine and its usefulness in living a more meaningful and happy life.--From publisher description.

Beautiful!! Question: Are these heavvy enough to hold the books? How do you give them enough heft? Thank you!ReplyDeleteReplies
The letters themselves that I found at Michael's are actually decently heavy on their own bc they're MDF, but you know, they're not like heavy metal. I would say they probably aren't heavy enough on their own to hold really big books. I've ended up using them sort of on top of a stack of a couple of books so that the stack holds the row of books in place from the bottom and the bookend keeps them from toppling. Hopefully you can kind of see what I mean by looking at my shelves in this post. Hope this helps!!Delete
Thank you so much for your kind reply, Mandy! I'm eager to try this. I'm thinking of doing it for my daughter's room, with the top color in a lavender shade and the lower letter in a darker purple shade so that I can still get that kind of shadow effect that makes the project so cool. Thanks again for the fab idea!ReplyDelete
I am having trouble with gluing the letters together.ReplyDelete
