Relations between the EU and the Republic of Moldova have intensified since the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement of 1994.

Relations between the EU and the Republic of Moldova (hereinafter "Moldova") have intensified in the past years. Moldova joined the EU's Eastern Partnership in 2009 and the EU-Moldova Association Agreement entered into force on 1 July 2016. This includes the introduction of a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA).
The Association Agreement strengthens Moldova's political and economic ties with the EU. It sets out a reform plan in areas vital for good governance and economic development and strengthens cooperation in several sectors. By signing the agreement, Moldova committed to reforming its domestic policies on the basis of EU laws and practice. To do so, the country benefits from substantial EU support.
Since 28 April 2014, Moldovan citizens with a biometric passport can travel to the Schengen area without a visa. Since then, more than 800,000 Moldovan citizens have benefitted from the visa-free regime. The EU has provided €21 million to Moldova for reforms in the areas of justice and security, which are related to visa liberalisation.
For Moldovans with non-biometric travel documents, the upgraded Visa Facilitation Agreement continues to apply, with a reduced visa fee of €35 and a fee waiver for students, those visiting family in the EU and many other groups of citizens. The Visa Facilitation Agreement also provides for easier access to multiple-entry visas with longer validity. The refusal rate for visa applications has sharply decreased from 11.4% in 2010 to 4.4% in 2015.
The EU and Moldova also signed a Mobility Partnership in May 2008. The Mobility Partnership is the most elaborated bilateral cooperation instrument in the domain of mobility. It offers a political framework for comprehensive and tailor-made dialogue and cooperation with Moldova. This includes a set of targets and commitments, as well as a package for specific support measures offered by the EU and interested EU Member States.

The Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area between the European Union offers Moldova privileged access for goods and services to the EU market. The implementation of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area is underpinned by substantial financial support programs from the EU side.
The European Union's imports from Moldova increased by 5% in 2015, as did the value of the EU's imports from Moldova: up to the value of €1.2 billion, an increase of 21% since 2013, the year before the DCFTA was signed. The European Union is Moldova's first trading partner and the first investor in the country, accounting for 63% of total Moldovan exports, up from 53% in 2014. The value of certain imports grew more strongly, for example agricultural imports from Moldova grew by 9% in 2015. Following sharp increases in 2014 and continued growth in 2015, statistics for the first half of 2016 show that the positive trend of growth in Moldovan exports to the EU continues to be seen, in particular for sunflower seeds, nuts, grapes, dried fruits, wheat, barley, sugar, certain types of paper, clothing and bedding articles such as mattresses.
Overall, trade between the EU and Moldova decreased by 6% in 2015, largely due to the strong decline of EU exports to Moldova. EU exports to Moldova have significantly declined (by 11%) since 2014, and amounted to €2.08 billion in 2015.
Access to the European markets and benefits from the DCFTA will further increase once Moldova has aligned its health and safety standards to those of the EU. The food safety reform will enable Moldova to export its agricultural products, notably animal products, whose safety for consumers is strictly controlled in the EU. Overall, if reforms are completed, the DCFTA is expected to boost Moldova's GDP by 5.4% annually.
The DCFTA is compatible with all other free trade agreements that Moldova is part of, and does not limit Moldova's ability to export its products to other countries. Moldova also retains full sovereignty over its trade policy since it is not a member of any customs union. Domestic reforms in Moldova, together with EU support, will upgrade the quality of Moldovan products and services. This will open trade opportunities well beyond the EU market and bring growth and jobs to Moldova.
EU assistance to Moldova supports the objectives of the Association Agreement. It is linked to the country's reform commitments under the Association Agreement and aims at improving the quality of life of ordinary Moldovans in a tangible and visible manner, strengthening the rule of law, as well as improving the business climate, with a view to reaping the benefits from the DCFTA, and supporting greater connectivity between Moldova and the EU in the areas of energy and transport.
New programmes launched during 2014 to 2016 amounted to € 310 million. They are focusing on four priority sectors: public administration reform, agriculture and rural development, police reform and implementation of the Association Agreement. In addition, assistance is provided to civil society. To support the implementation of the DCFTA, the EU helps Moldova to meet the requirements for access to the EU market. This includes: improving the policy framework and legislation on small business and competitiveness; reinforcing quality infrastructure and market surveillance (metrology, standards, conformity controls); information campaigns; sustainable management of natural resources in rural areas; supporting Moldovan businesses to export to the EU and promoting the agro-food sector.
EU assistance is conditional to the progress of the country in its reform agenda. To this respect, when major frauds in the Moldovan banking system emerged in 2014-2015, the European Union suspended budget support payments to the Moldovan authorities. The EU resumed its budget support disbursements following the agreement at the end of 2016 on a programme between Moldova and the International Monetary Fund, whose main aim is to stabilise the banking sector in Moldova, and also given Moldova's compliance with other budget support conditions (e.g. progress on public finance management). The Commission will continue to apply strict conditionality; in doing so, it will pay particular attention to the need for the country to deliver on key reforms, especially in the justice area, the financial sector, the energy sector, public administration and on prevention and fight against corruption (see Council conclusions on Moldova, 15 February 2016), and to the sound implementation of the IMF agreement.
Tangible results of EU assistance for Moldovan citizens include:
Moldova also benefits from regional programmes for the Eastern Partnership region, supporting SMEs, energy, transport, environment, access to finance, growth as well as the overall business environment. Moldova also participates in Cross Border Cooperation (CBC) programmes such as the Black Sea Programme, the Romania-Ukraine-Moldova ENPI Land-Border Programme, and the INTERREG Danube Transnational Programme.
Overall, the EU estimates that its cooperation projects have created 20,000 jobs in Moldova.
Comprehensive list of EU-funded projects
Information on projects supported by EU Member States
An important number of EU Member States and donors are present in the country, as well as World Bank, EBRD, EIB, and UNDP. Donor coordination is well in place in Moldova. EU Delegation, EU Member States and like-minded donors are working closely together to jointly plan their financial assistance to Moldova for 2017-2020, with a view both to increasing the impact of their support and strengthening the European visibility and leverage.

Moldova became the first Eastern Partnership country to participate in the EU's Competitiveness of Enterprises and SME programme, which promotes entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial culture, improves access to markets and finance for SMEs and boosts the competitiveness of enterprises.
Moldova was also the first Eastern Partner to be associated with the Horizon 2020 programme, through which the EU supports research and innovation. It also participates in the Erasmus+ programme for education, training, youth and sport. In March 2015, Moldova joined the European programme for culture Creative Europe.
The European Union Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine was launched in 2005. Illicit cross-border activities, including trafficking of human beings, smuggling and other illegal trade, were occurring along the Moldova-Ukrainian border. This was aggravated by the fact that the Moldovan government had no direct control over the secessionist region of Transnistria in Moldova (which stretches along 454 km of the Moldova-Ukraine border). The aim of EUBAM is to improve border governance and management, help combat illicit practices and improve the regional security and support economic development.
Moldova is one of the non-EU states that participate in the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions and operations. Moldovan experts have contributed to the EU Training Mission in Mali since 2014 and joined the EU Military Advisory Mission in the Central African Republic in 2015. At Moldova's request, Security Sector Reform advisors from three EU countries helped with the reform process of the security sector in 2014-2015. The EU has continued providing security sector reform-related advisory support under a new phase of an advisory programme to Moldova since 2016.
The EU participates as an observer in the 5+2 negotiation process on the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict, and it continues to support a comprehensive, peaceful settlement based on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova with a special status for Transnistria.
The EU supports, to the tune of €28 million, confidence building measures designed to foster regional development in Gagauzia and to facilitate the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict by increasing confidence between Chisinau and Tiraspol through joint initiatives involving local authorities, civil society organizations and other stakeholders from both sides.

Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the physics department, you may consider Missouri Baptist University chemistry degree as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

The Captain Flamingo's best friend, sidekick, and not-so-secret admirer, Lizbeth is focused and organized, however, she's just a puddle of emotions when it comes to Milo Powell, her favourite square shaped boy. She's a devoted follower and chronicler of his heroics, and, unbeknownst to him, is the voice of the "birdbrain" that often inspires the Captain to save the day. Lizbeth is strong and smart but a bit of a loner because of it. Her best friend, besides Milo, is her monocled stuffed elephant confidante, Chester. Lizbeth is secure in the knowledge that girls mature faster than boys, so she knows one day Milo will catch up and appreciate her. So, for now, she's willing to guide him along and wait patiently for that special day. She acts so because Milo saved her life when they were babies, when Lizbeth nearly fell out of the sandbox onto the concrete sidewalk and Milo threw himself in front of her to save her, and never forgets about it (although witnesses say that what really happened was that Milo became distracted by a butterfly, and, unable to concentrate and keep himself up at the same time, fell down into a heap, unintentionally saving her).
Physicle AppearanceEdit
Lizbeth is a human girl, attired in a red dress/skirt with white stripes which seems to a degree magic since despite this even when she is falling her underwear is never shown . She wears white socks and red shoes showing her unusually slender legs. Lizbeth is quiet a thin and trim girl, thinner than most of her friends and can squeeze into things with ease due to her great health. Lizbeth has dark black hair and wears it in pigtails like that of a typical young girl such as Bubbles, Gosalyn and Sari to remind people of their youthfulness, her pigtails style is in fact one of the easiest ways to recognize her and also one of the only ways to know it's her when someone sees her. Her eye shape is unique in comparison to most characters as she occasionally show round eyes, but seems to have tsurime eyes which are typical for an anime charcter and it shows her strong willed nature and determined personality. She also has a trianglar nose as opposed to the usual round nose people have.
She also has slightly pale skin which hints a possible Chinese of Filipino nationally due to her eye shape not being circular expect on some circumstances of worry, excitement or shock.

What do the fights for gay marriage and D.C. statehood have in common? A thousand things, and just one.
Both are key civil rights battles of our time. Both involve the inexcusable denial of core rights to individuals because of one aspect of their identities — privileges and benefits that are extended to other Americans who are otherwise just like them.
Most important, both groups fight for a single goal, a brass ring, that itself serves as a catch-all for a myriad of subsidiary benefits. Those of us whose brass ring is D.C. statehood could learn a lot from advocates of gay marriage.
According to a General Accountability Office report, there are more than a thousand federal benefits associated with marriage, everything from exemption from the estate tax to citizenship for a non-American spouse. Similarly, statehood consists of hundreds of component rights: key among them representation in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and the ability to tax income at its source. In both cases, the sheer quantity of these rights would seem to suggest that any effort to win those rights individually, one by one, would be exhausting and almost necessarily fated to fall short.
Recognizing this, most advocates of gay marriage never seem to take their eyes off the real prize — marriage — and the "package deal" of benefits that comes with it. They have not allowed themselves to lose the forest of gay marriage in the trees of single-benefit victories. They realize that marriage is the destination without which there would be no journey. The gay rights strategy, as envisioned by lawyer Mary Bonauto and others, was designed from the start to culminate in cases before the Supreme Court, such as we saw in March, that focus like a laser on the true brass ring.
The recent victory at the polls of the praiseworthy D.C. Budget Autonomy initiative notwithstanding, advocates of D.C. statehood almost always take the opposite tack. Unable to achieve the single overarching win that will allow them to retire their slogans and posters forever, they have settled for death by a thousand battles. They have attempted to cobble together a facsimile of their ultimate goal by assembling component sub-rights, one by one, and no component has proved to be too trivial to pursue.
It has been somehow simultaneously adorable, necessary and demeaning to see statehood advocates fight for primarily symbolic benefits (getting our own state quarter, placing a statue at the U.S. Capitol, getting the D.C. flag added to the ring of state flags at Union Station, etc.). With the ultimate goal so far off, we have allowed what was meant to be a means to become an end.
It is particularly instructive to consider how advocates for the two causes dealt with a tantalizing, seemingly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve something that would have carried each cause most — but not all — of the way to the finish line of its quest. For gay marriage advocates, this opportunity was civil unions, which provide most of the benefits of marriage but not the moniker itself. And for D.C. statehood supporters, the opportunity was legislation introduced in 2005 by then-Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) to give the District a permanent representative in the House.
By and large, gay marriage advocates have been hesitant to accept the civil-union compromise. They recognize that acceptance of such a robust but nonetheless incomplete solution might foreclose the possibility of ever having their demands fully met. In contrast, most D.C. statehood activists were all-too-anxious to support the Davis bill. While it is important not to let the good be the enemy of the perfect, it is also essential to recognize that some principles should be beyond compromise.
At the Supreme Court in March, attorney Ted Olson made this point eloquently in an exchange with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.: "It is like you were to say you can vote, you can travel, but you may not be a citizen. There are certain labels in this country that are very, very critical. You could have said in the Loving case, what — you can't get married, but you can have an interracial union. Everyone would know that that was wrong, that the — marriage has a status, recognition, support." Ever since Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court has held that "separate but equal" is not an acceptable standard under U.S. law. Gay marriage advocates recognized civil unions as being their own "separate but equal" false equivalency.
Advocates for D.C. statehood must recognize that while the Davis bill and any future facsimiles may come achingly close to what we want, it is painful but necessary to reject such half-measures. The whole of statehood is greater than the sum of its parts. Labels are indeed critical, and "statehood" is one such label. We must fight for statehood directly, and more important, entirely.

You gave
A lusty smile
I acknowledged
Your beauty
You gave joy
To an abandoned child
I gave you back
You took my falling heart
You caught it
I wrote you
Zillions of songs of love
You built a home
For my spirit
I gave you feeling
You were short of
Givers, takers
Lost souls, fakers
Where'd you lie?
When you lied?
You gave
You took
I gave
I took
Our needs led us
To be forsook
As our tears dry
On a hook
We gave more
Than was okay
We take
We're stripped of it all
Only we can catch
Our own falls
Is the least of our worries
Are blurred anyway
We look back
On past centuries
And wonder how
Prisoners get away
We're givers, we're takers
Vulnerable and the fakers
We played both roles
Both roles took our souls
I gave
You took
You gave
I took
We were forsook
We cry on a hook
All we gave
We needed to take
Now we're depraved
The other can't see
The other cries
So we forsake
The one
we wholeheartedly
Gave to
The one
We took from all we
Followed through
Left high and dry
Boundless lovers
Bestow boundless love
Till they have to fly…
Givers and takers
So vulnerable
Such a faker
We have to be forsakers
Now we're both achers
I gave
You took
You gave
I took
Blurred in our book
As we cry
Still so hooked.

Should you want a decadent dessert to impress your guests or just enjoy it yourself at the end of a long day, look no further.
My tofu-cashew dessert bowls are an easier and quicker version of raw cakes that need to firm up in freezer. As they go in bowls, there's no stress about cutting nice pieces and about whether the cake is firm enough or maybe too frozen.
I use no sugar (only 1 tsp. of agave syrup in the swirl) or oil in this tofu-cashew dessert recipe, making it a healthy whole foods plant-based treat. Of course you should also remember that nuts and tofu are quite high in fat content, so try not to overeat (if you can).
Ingredients |3 very fair servings|
First things to through into blender:
|1 cup cashews, soaked
|175g (6.2oz) silken tofu
|A handful of shredded coconut
|1 tbsp. peanut butter
|1 small banana
|Pinch of seal salt
|30ml (1oz) water
|2 tbsps. raw cacao powder (blend into half of the batter)
|1 tbsp. peanut butter
|1 tsp. agave syrup
Mix in at the end:
|3 tbsps. raisins, soaked in rum
|4 figs, chopped
Soak raisins in rum (not a must). Of course discard the rum from kids' bowls.
Soak cashews in water for 2-2.5 hours. Rinse and drain.
Throw the ingredients in the first table (except cacao powder) into blender. Blend until smooth batter forms.
Now, put half of the mixture into a bowl and add cacao powder to the half in the blender.
Mix half of raisins and chopped figs into brown batter and the other half into white batter.
Prepare the swirl by mixing together peanut butter (room temperature) and agave syrup.
Now, start compiling the bowls. Put brown and white batter into bowls by turns. Add small balls of peanut butter mix here and there.
When you come to the last layer, add about 5 peanut butter balls on top. Now, it's about your creativity and art skills. Take sushi stick and make some nice swirls on top of the dessert.
Place the desserts in fridge for a few hours. Cover the bowls with foil if you need to keep them longer.
- You may garnish with fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackcurrants etc.).
- If you are a real sweet tooth, add more raisins and figs.

Pinch at the Pump: Energy and Consumer SpendingInflation's a bitch.
Soaring energy costs pushed U.S. producer prices up by twice as much as expected in July, warning of future inflation.
"Business pricing power continues to rise as the economy grows above trend and there are upside risks going forward..." said Morgan Stanley economist Ted Wiesman.
As Maxim Group's Barry Ritholtz underscores, the resiliency of consumer spending in the face of high-energy prices has surprised many observers.
The logic goes as such: the the economy's resiliency can be proved by the fact that consumers are still spending amidst soaring energy prices.
But the truth stares at us like a deer in headlights: Budget-minded shoppers simply cannot ignore $3 a gallon gasoline.
If you're from California, the $4 mark doesn't seem so unfathomable now, does it?
Our only hope lies in the Fed: Fed tightening will likely effectuate a real estate slow down, which will indirectly create less demand for energy.
Only then will we see that regression to the mean pundits are so effervescently yapping about.

Some factors that alter the costs on your insurance policy are fixed, and some of them are changeable. Having higher deductibles on your policy will lower the cost of the premiums. Read this article to find the best ways to get the most out of your car insurance for less money.
When shopping for vehicle insurance coverage for your teen, ask your agent to give you a quote, both as a separate policy and also as an addition to your existing policy. It can sometimes be cheaper to purchase a different policy, but this depends on what vehicles are involved.
You do not have to switch cars to keep the premiums low. Having only one name attached with each car will net you a better price on your insurance.
Standard car insurance policies insure the driver, not the vehicle itself. Many people will let friends drive their car and if the friend gets in a car accident, the insurance will not pay. It is possible to obtain insurance that permits additional drivers, though it will be more expensive.
The best auto insurance advice is to keep a clean record while driving. Nothing else will make your premiums jump higher than having an accident. Drive defensively and know your limits. Stay out of situations in which you have a higher chance of an accident. For example, if your night vision is poor, avoid driving at night.
Auto Insurance
If you want to switch to a different auto insurance company, make sure you have a new policy in place before you cancel the one you have. Even going a few days without auto insurance is taking quite a large risk because unfortunately, car accidents can occur any time.
Buying insurance as a bundle leads to paying lower rates. Try to take part in these offers and get a policy for your house and your vehicle in one. However, you should double check to make sure that you are getting the appropriate coverage at the best possible price. Occasionally, holding onto two separate insurance policies is the best option.
Take the time to go over the list of discounts completely, in order to ensure you take advantage of these price savers. Discounts like these can save a surprising amount.
Driving Record
Tickets and points from accidents will reflect against your driving record and you'll have to pay more for vehicle insurance coverage. However, your rates will decrease once these negative items fall off your driving record. Once this happens, it's wise to do some comparison shopping on auto insurance rates again.
If you have other drivers listed on your insurance that no longer drive your vehicle, remove them from your policy. Extra drivers mean extra risk, so removing drivers is one way to reduce a premium.
If you drive under 7500 miles annually, you can be eligible for a reduced rate from many insurers. If you're interested in saving on auto insurance, reducing your time behind the wheel could be the way to do it.
Inform your insurance agent of comparable rates from other companies. They'll often match the competitive offer to keep your business.
Credit Score
You can get less expensive car insurance rates by increasing your credit score. Like many other companies, auto insurance agencies check credit. Credit scores can be factored into the cost of your automotive insurance. Poor credit may actually result in a higher premium. To get a lower insurance rate, make sure you have a good credit score.
Removing an unnecessary driver from your policy can lower your monthly rates. They will continue to charge you if you leave someone on the policy whom doesn't actually drive your vehicle. Young drivers pay a lot more for insurance, so if you can remove them because your premium will go down quite a bit.
A higher deductible can be a good option to get a lower premium price for auto insurance. A high deductible can cost you more money if you have a accident, but it will pay any damages. However, small incidents are your responsibility. If your car is not worth a lot of money, selecting a high deductible is a good choice.
Carefully fill out the auto insurance application form, listing all of you car's safety features to qualify for the lowest rate. Side curtain and passenger air bags reduce the likelihood of injury and therefore may decrease the premiums you pay. This holds true as well if you place these things on an old car.
As stated before, you can lower your insurance costs by changing some things. Your location, driving record and number of miles that you put on your car each year are items that you have some control over. If you do what you can to optimize these variables, you can save yourself a bundle on auto insurance premiums.

Episode 018 – Brandon Straker – Creating Better Habits for a Better Life
Proudly Sponsored by ShipOffers,
Helping Marketers Win in the Game of Product Sourcing & Fullfillment
For Brandon Straker, a passion for fitness came early. As a fitness professional, he understands the value of providing a clear, easy to follow plan that can help people make real life changes. As the co-founder of Tools of Fitness, Brandon is on a mission to provide people with the tools to develop a plan, overcome limiting beliefs, and inspire them to reach their full potential (from the Tools of Fitness Facebook page). During his chat with Tony G., Brandon makes it clear that he loves helping people and realizes the value of helping people make changes that can truly transform their lives.
If you do work you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
In high school, Brandon realized he needed to find a path that would allow him to be truly happy. He was inspired by a teacher who said, "If you do work you love, you'll never work a day in your life." That's when he knew he had to find a way to get into the fitness world. Brandon started by taking an entry-level job at the local gym. By age 19, he was managing the gym and would continue to grow his passion for helping people over the course of the next several years. Today, he is able to connect with clients and offer life-changing help in the areas of nutrition, fitness, and overall wellness.
Making your dreams come true.
After years of working for other people and making their dreams come true, Brandon and his friend & business partner Glenn Dawson knew it was time to get to work on their own dreams. They set out to create a plan that could make it all happen and Tools of Fitness was born. Brandon attributes this shift to the book "Think and Grow Rich", which helped him see that it was time to stop building someone else's dreams and start building his own. Today, Brandon and Glenn offer a no-nonsense approach to fitness, which addresses some of the main issues with the fitness industry as a whole. They believe in providing a training program that is designed for the individual, rather than a generic fitness program that works for some, but not for others.If you do work you love, you'll never work a day in your life, on this episode of #EntrepreneurUnplugged Click To Tweet
The "one day at a time" approach to training.
Starting a fitness program can be tough and it's easy to get discouraged. For Brandon, it's all about taking it one day at a time. He works with his clients to help them see the value of focusing on each day, rather than thinking about your goals. It's easy to get discouraged and that's why Brandon focuses on keeping his clients motivated every step of the way. Brandon shares why he focuses on working with entrepreneurs and people in the business world, who spend their day sitting at a desk. He also discusses the importance of correcting posture as the foundation for a healthier lifestyle.
The role of intermittent fasting.
One of the keystones of the Tools of Fitness approach to wellness is intermittent fasting. Brandon discusses with intermittent fasting works and some of the results he's seen with clients on the program. Tony G. also shares the incredible results he's seen since starting to work with Brandon just a few weeks back. In closing, Brandon gives us insight into his passion for helping people be their very best and how making small changes can have a ripple effect on all areas of their lives. It's clear Brandon is able to connect people with a training plan that truly works for them. Tony closes out his chat with Brandon with his recommendation of Tools of Fitness and the work that they do to transform lives.The role of #IntermittentFasting in improving overall health and wellness.

You Know You Need Something When...
Monday, December 3, 2012
{Images from Lovely Pepa, Happily Grey, and Gal Meets Glam}
When you see it on multiple blogs you follow religiously. Seriously though. I don't think I've every seen one item so many times within a matter of two weeks on the blogs I follow.
Gal Meets Glam, Lovely Pepa, and Happily Grey all posted gorgeous pictures wearing this scarf from Zara recently. These girls have completely different styles but this scarf looks amazing with each of their outfits. Plaid can be translated in so many ways and they have mastered all the ways (or at least most of them).
I plan on making a trip to Zara on Newbury St pretty soon and this scarf will be on my list!

Supernatural Fragment
Rated 4 / 5 stars
In my eyes, the melody generally wasn't that interesting and original, but it became better towards the end. Something I really liked about this song was the drums. The fast double bass drum was neat, and there was enough variation in the song. This song is surely meant to be epic, but perhaps it would have been even more epic if it was a little longer? Other than that, a good song.
I have said it before, and I'm saying it again, you should really consider buying the full version of FL (or download it >:D) or try another prorgram, as I can easily recognize most of the sounds from other songs you've made (which makes it hard to distinguish them from each other, as well as some of them doesn't sound that good).
hey, havent heard a review from you in a while.
i've been wanting to buy the full version for a while now, im just sure if im ready, finacialy yet, or even how to. i've been trying to make new sounds using the presets and all that whatnot, but thats doesnt seem to be cutting it. also i wanted to make it longer, but the way i had it set up, i couldnt think of how to build from the ending point. the ending itself isnt how i was hoping it'd be, but whatev. i may come back to this sometime in the future, when i have the full version... XD
anyways, thanks again for the review, 8, and your time in listening!! :)
Lingering End
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This one's different
This one was funny! Sounds a bit oriental-inspired. I missed one or two memorable melodies, as that's more or less what I need to find in a song to really like it. But the song has, as you've written in the comments, lots of variation in instruments. Nice drums around 00:50, for instance!
hey, you again!! as strange as it was, this one just came to me, out of nowhere, all at once. never had so much ease (or fun) making a song b4. i had a couple of issues, but other than that, im really not sure how i pulled this one off. first time in a while i've finished one from start to finish like that
anyways, thanks again for the review, 8, and your time in listening
Instantaneous Intoxication
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Some of the parts in this song just blew me away. I'm giving this piece a 10/10 simply because of the great part starting at around 02:00, although the rest of the song was pretty neat.
I really think you should get the full version of FL studio, or another program (mine for instance), because I think you've got a lot of good melodies and rhythms but they would sound much better with more properly chosen instruments and samples. Like, you can draw nicely - you just need a better pencil... (that was a metaphor)
nice metaphor. i totally understand what u mean. i've been meaning to give your program a try, but i forgot what it was called... LLMS i think it was?? might have been 2 M's. if i knew how to get the full version of FL i would totally do it
anyways, i actually had a lot of fun making this one, it could've been better, i kinda got a tad lazy towards the end. but i'm glad u enjoyed it
thanks again for the review, 10, and your time in listening!!
Moon-Ridden Etiquette
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This song is very varied compared to many of your others that I've heard. Perhaps a little too much variation. Not that variation is bad, just that some of the melodies were played too shortly and disappeared before they got time to absorb into my mind (did that make sense? :P)
This song has some really great melodies though. Some of my favorite parts is at 00:45, the drums in the background were nice. The melody starting at 0:59 was also good, but the sound seemed to clip a little in my speakers, so you should work on that. After this part, some really good melodies appeared.
To sum it up, nice melodies, but they could have lasted a bit longer. There were enough variation in this song to create a 5 minute piece, or even longer!
yea i noticed a part in there i think around 45?? it was short, merely due to the fact that i didnt like that melody. or the one after it. the best one was the one used throughout most of the song. but i needed some other melodies. hince the short ones. however, i did not notice a clipping, maybe it was too loud?? or my are not loud enough whatev lol, and yea u made sense earlier
anyways, thanks for the review, 9, and your time in listening :D
Monodisc - unknown
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nice ambient
Sounds sophisticated and intelligent. I just feel it needs a more recognizable melody. I've said this before though :P
The drums were funky, and the atmosphere is genuine, as usual!
Monodisc - Noise Soundscape
Rated 5 / 5 stars
If I were to make a documentary about space, I would defninitely use this piece. It couldn't have been better!
Monodisc - Ralx Arion
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I can feel it in my spine!
Reminds me of Stevie Wonder. Very chilled out. The only thing I miss is some easily recognizable melodies to make the song more stand out, although I'm sure this is not that kind of a song. I still like it.
The Impartial Allignment
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nice song!
Nice song! I liked the synth sounds, but the organ sounds weren't as good. I see you have developed a bit since the last song I reviewed. This song had an organic and nice feel!
hey havent heard form u in a while. yea, i wasnt really too into this one. but the basslines were amazing. i dont like FL8 organs, so that one had to do. anyways, thanks for the review. hope to hear more songs from u soon
DeeBee TeeBee
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is really good DnB! Cool effects, beat (amen break right?) and all. The main lead was good, reminds me of the soundtracks from Ratchet and Clank for some reason. Could have been a little bit more variation, but it's all right.
Was this made in LMMS?
Indeed, it was. I used Audacity to slice up the Amen Break, then got to work!
Lost In The Tundra - DKC3 Remix
Rated 4 / 5 stars
A decent song, cool drums, especially the cymbals. However, I didn't feel that it built up to something, it just had the same atmosphere all the time. But since it's a remix, it's probably not your fault. 8/10 4/5.
I've made a new song btw, review please? :=)
yea the actual song itself wasnt anything to special, but i figured since it seems like something no one else would remix, i did it
i will check out yur new song later and review. sadly i have to go to work at the moment :(
thanks again for the review, 8, and your time in listening

Heat a Dutch oven or other large pot over medium heat; add the bacon. Cook until the bacon is crispy, about 8 minutes. Add the oil to the pan; cook the onions and garlic until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot; add the mussels. Steam the mussels, covered, over high heat, about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, sauerkraut and potatoes and sprinkle with salt. Cover and cook until the mussels open, about 2 minutes.

text: Sorry, but I think the limit should be that no one is allowed to own any magazine or ammo drum which can be attached to a semi or auto weapon which can carry more than 1000 live rounds each. The reason is that no reasonable person needs magazines or drums with a higher limit. Anything higher is totally insane. Call me a Liberal, if you may. It's for the children, I tell you.

Item description for Sun and Steel by Yukio Mishima & John Bester...In this fascinating document, one of Japan's best known-and controversial-writers created what might be termed a new literary form. It is new because it combines elements of many existing types of writing, yet in the end fits into none of them.
At one level, it may be read as an account of how a puny, bookish boy discovered the importance of his own physical being; the "sun and steel" of the title are themselves symbols respectively of the cult of the open air and the weights used in bodybuilding. At another level, it is a discussion by a major novelist of the relation between action and art, and his own highly polished art in particular. More personally, it is an account of one individual's search for identity and self-integration. Or again, the work could be seen as a demonstration of how an intensely individual preoccupation can be developed into a profound philosophy of life.
All these elements are woven together by Mishima's complex yet polished and supple style. The confession and the self-analysis, the philosophy and the poetry combine in the end to create something that is in itself perfect and self-sufficient. It is a piece of literature that is as carefully fashioned as Mishima's novels, and at the same time provides an indispensable key to the understanding of them as art.
The road Mishima took to salvation is a highly personal one. Yet here, ultimately, one detects the unmistakable tones of a self transcending the particular and attaining to a poetic vision of the universal. The book is therefore a moving document, and is highly significant as a pointer to the future development of one of the most interesting novelists of modern times.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Representatives and residents of many groups in town stood up to thank the Fairfield Board of Selectmen and the selection committee Wednesday night for picking Tom Steinke as the Town Employee of the Year.
He was touted as a "guardian of the environment" and thanked profusely for all the work he has done over the past 40 years in his employment with the town.
The Town Employee of the Year award goes to a worker with "service and job performance that goes beyond the daily work of the individual and benefits the Fairfield government and community." A three-person panel picked top choices for the Board of Selectmen to select a winner.
The work Steinke has done as director of the Conservation Department has included the Exide site cleanup efforts, which will help in the removal of lead in the Mill River Basin. He also designed and patented self-regulating tide gates used to restore 150 acres of salt marsh in town.
In the nomination letter, FairPLAN Chairman Linda Snelham-Moore said Steinke's work "includes detailed investigation, research and education regarding serious and complex land use issues."
Fairfield First Selectman Mike Tetreau said Steinke was passionate and knowledgeable of many aspects of the town and said Steinke is one of the first people he turns to for information.
"He's always impressed me with his depth of knowledge," Tetreau said, comparing him to "the proverbial bull dog when he gets a hold of an issue."
Tetreau said Steinke was told that the board wanted an update on the marsh cleanup as a pretense to get him to the meeting to get his award.
"I think it just says a lot about you, Tom, that you are interested in [the work]. It's not about being recognized it's about getting the work done," Selectman Cristin McCarthy-Vahey said.
That sentiment was echoed by Selectman Kevin Kiley, who called Steinke dedicated and passionate about protecting Fairfield and its land.
"This was unexpected," Steinke said after hearing the praise from the board and members of the public. "It's an honor to receive this."
Receiving the award, Steinke said, was "a thank you to Fairfield" and to everyone he has worked with through the years.

Rock & Jazz Band Programs for All Ages
View hundreds of our performances by our students and teachers
Performing in front of others is an important part of learning to sing or play a musical instrument. With our "Opportunity Rocks" program, students taking lessons at ShamRock always have the opportunity to perform at recitals and open mic nights throughout the year. This is included in the tuition.
But for students who want to learn how to perform in a band, with others at a similar skill level, we have specialized programs all year long. Students will learn the concepts of rhythm, timing and melody in working with their peers. Our camp instructors Vince Genella and Roy Van Tassel have over 40 years of rock performance experience combined. Our Jazz program instructors, Erica Seguine and Shannon Baker both hold masters degrees in Jazz Composition from William Paterson University. Bands will set a goal of performing 3-6 songs in a concert in front of friends and family at the end of the program.
Students will learn how to apply their musical skills in a rock band environment, performing 3-6 rock songs by the end of the week. Every type of instrument at any skill level can be included! Just contact us for details to see which program best fits your needs.
Most camps include the following:
- ShamRock T Shirt
- Snacks, soft drinks, juices, water or coffee
- Team building games and exercises
- Rock & Jazz history discussions by reviewing videos on our HD flatscreen
- Choosing a band name
- 10-15 hours of rehearsal time in our studio
- Lyrics and tablature
- Limo ride from ShamRock to the gig at Bardi's Grill in Pequannock (Courtesy of Travel Limo*)
- Concert on stage at Bardi's Grill (or a similar venue) with professional sound & lighting
- All instrumentation is provided (guitars can be rented for $25 for the length of the program)
Although admission is free for friends and family, all of our concerts serve as a fundraiser for local causes such as the Pequannock Food Pantry or Flood Relief. Donation amounts are suggested for entry to the show.
Once completing a band program, students may be asked to perform in the future for events such as The Pequannock Street Fair, The Pequannock Ho-Down, Wayne Day, Lincoln Park Day, Summer Concerts at PV Park and other private parties.
Some programs have included rehearsals and performances with world- renowned guest artists like Stu Hamm. He is an incredible bassist, was nominated for a Grammy, and has performed and recorded with artists such as Steve Vai and Joe Satriani among many others.
Grammy Winning Guitarist and producer, Larry Mitchell performed with our Summer Rock Camp program and has performed on stage and in clinics with students that take lessons at ShamRock.
There is a certain skill level required for different camps. If you're not a current ShamRock student, please call us at 973-839-0100 to schedule an evaluation so we can place you in the best camp for your skill level.

Journal Articles
The paper uses a rich administrative data set from North Carolina to explore the extent to which that state's relatively sophisticated school-based accountability system has exacerbated the challenges that schools serving low performing students face in retaining and attracting high quality teachers. Most clear are the adverse effects on retention rates, and hence on teacher turnover, in such schools. Less clear from our analysis is the extent to which that higher turnover has translated into a decline in the average qualifications of the teachers in the low performing schools. Other states with less sophisticated accountability systems should expect even greater unintended systemic effects of the type identified here.

"Ayurveda" is a word that often comes up on spa menus, but it's actually an ancient Indian practice that encompasses many different aspects of life to promote health and well-being. Here, Felicia Marie Tomasko, an Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher, explains some of the basic tenets.
Q: What is Ayurveda? Can anyone follow an Ayurvedic plan, or is it better for some over others?
A: Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that means science of life. The science and philosophy of Ayurveda contains information related to how we can live a life in balance with our true nature and with the cycles of the natural world around us and within us. Part of the essence of Ayurveda is that we are all unique individuals and different types of routines, relationships with food and even the numbers of hours of sleep that we need or ounces of water we need to drink is related to that uniqueness. From this point of view, there isn't one right plan or program that works for everyone the world over, at every age, in every climate or geographic location. In some ways, this frees us.
If the latest diet plan didn't work for us, no matter how much we stuck to the letter of the law, it could mean that we did not choose the routine that worked best for who we are –our own true nature. What often happens is that someone finds a way of eating, or sleeping or being that helps them feel healthy, or allows them to cure a long-standing disease or imbalance and then they try to teach it to everyone, everywhere. It works for some people, but not for everyone.
The true secret is to be given permission to deeply listen to the self, with honest compassion and make choices that promote true health and well-being — of body, mind, heart and spirit. Not just well-being where we may feel a rush, a surge in blood sugar from too many refined carbohydrates, a jolt of energy from a double espresso or a temporary high, but the kind of well-being that allows us to feel at home in our bodies. Since Ayurveda more than acknowledges, but encourages, individual expression, it is possible to find a plan that suits each person's needs. For example, some people thrive best on a gluten-free diet, some people need to drink more water than others and some people need to sleep more or fewer hours each night.
Q: How does an Ayurvedic eating plan vary from other other eating plans? Are there certain things you must consume and others you must steer clear of?
A: First, an Ayurvedic eating plan emphasizes the needs of the individual. Second, the health of the digestion influences the health of the entire body. After all, whatever we eat literally becomes us, and our digestion is the process by which this occurs. So in any Ayurvedic eating plan, healthy digestion is encouraged and cultivated. For example, some Ayurvedic recommendations include limiting the drinking of ice water during meals since ice water cools the digestive fire that is optimal at body temperature. It is important to leave enough time between meals (approximately three hours) for one meal to be digested before the next one is eaten. And, eat enough at each sitting to be satisfied, but not enough so that you are so full that the digestive fire is nearly quashed.
In general, Ayurveda favors foods that are described as being sattvic, foods that have a peaceful and nourishing quality. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and other whole foods. Foods that are old, highly-processed, rancid (such as oils often used for deep frying), artificial (artificial sweeteners), overly sweet and salty or so on are not considered to be sattvic foods. Sattvic foods promote clarity of body, mind, heart and spirit.
Q: What kinds of physical exercise are encouraged?
A: Physical exercise engaged in from fifty to seventy-five percent of one's capacity is the most important. If we exercise at or beyond our capacity, then we are putting our body into fight-or-flight mode and cause greater stress. Even though we may ask, "How can we progress?" when we are exercising below our capacity, the truth is that our capacity will increase through persistence and consistent practice. Any type of physical exercise that is suitable to the individual and is appropriate to the season and the climate is encouraged. For example, swimming in the summer in Southern California for a very fiery person would be more Ayurvedically recommended than running 10 miles in the noonday sun in the desert for someone who is very fiery.
Q: Is meditation a part of an Ayurvedic practice?
A: Meditation is an important part of Ayurveda because health and well-being is seen as encompassing not only our physical self, but our mind, thoughts, emotions, heart and even spirit. There are numerous meditation practices from traditions around the world. Ayurveda does not necessarily recommend one specific type of mediation, but encourages people to work with a teacher to discover and learn the practice most appropriate for their individual mindset and predilection. Many modern research studies are confirming what Ayurveda has emphasized — meditation actually helps to promote health on many levels, from assisting concentration, promoting increased feelings of happiness, contentment and compassion and even influencing our gene expression.
Q: What is skin brushing and why is it encouraged?
A: Skin or dry brushing is done before the shower or bath with a natural-bristled brush fires up inner heat through the skin, encourages lymphatic drainage and stimulates the immune system. It also awakens the body's internal fires, can help alleviate depression or the blues, wake us up and even stimulate the digestive fire. It is good for helping to remove toxins from the skin and the lymphatic system. After dry brushing, massage with warm oil provides nourishment to dry winter skin assaulted by cold air and dehydrating central heat.
Q: What are the benefits of following an Ayurvedic plan?
A: The benefits include the promotion of overall health and well-being-from feeling awake and happy when first waking up in the morning, to sleeping better at night. Many people have even found relief from long-standing health conditions as a result of discovering and living by plans that help them to engage in daily practices that actually promote health and well-being. Every day, in every single one of our choices, we have the ability to choose activities that help us to feel healthier — body, mind, heart and spirit, or we can choose activities that increase our perceived stress level and break down our tissues and our spirit. The heart of Ayurveda is the science of rejuvenation-helping us to enjoy vitality no matter our chronological age.
