BARBARA DOWNING - firstname.lastname@example.com
Juniors are 6 months of age or younger. Babies (Kits) are born after 30 days gestation period with eyes closed and no fur. They are completely helpless and feed only once a day for around 5 minutes. The mother ignores them in between feedings as it is her nature not to bring attention to the nest. They open their eyes at around 2 weeks and leave the nest at about 3 weeks. They are weaned around 7 to 10 weeks of age. Netherland Dwarfs are particularly hard to raise as they carry a dwarf gene. If a baby is born that has inherited the gene from BOTH parents, it is lethal. This, on top of the fact that a dwarf typically has a small litter of 2 or 3, makes breeding challenging at best.

You don't often get survey results that nudge the 100% mark, but I wasn't surprised when our recent FIT FOR DIGITAL report revealed that 98% of executives believe that digital has disrupted their enterprises, and will keep on disrupting them into the foreseeable future. The phrase, 'The New Normal' has become popular. It's neat, but it's not new. In fact, disruption is what business is all about. Always has been.
Go back far enough and you can talk about mechanization disrupting traditional small workshops; or the rise of steam power over-turning the era in which animal power was common. Then along came electricity and mass production and… there are numerous examples. The point is, to be in business is either to disrupt or to face disruption. It's the normal cycle. When you're in business disruption comes with the territory. Now that territory is digital.
The Fit for Digital report has an important subtitle: Co-creation in the Age of Disruption. Again, when you look closer, it's nothing new. Enterprises don't operate in isolation. If they do, they don't last long. The best kinds of enterprises learn from their partners and their competitors. They make strategic alliances with specialists to help them adapt and innovate. They are agile in thought and action. The flow of debate, ideas and practical methods help to energise an enterprise and make them, well, fitter for the challenges they face. In this case, the digital disruption that is sweeping across every sector.
The report identifies one of the main obstacles to achieving that flow of ideas: keeping the lights on. An enterprise needs to balance running day-to-day operations with looking at both the short- and long-term trends that are affecting their core markets and customers. That's hard. It's difficult to see through the noise to identify threats, find solutions and deliver innovation. The famed statistician, Nat Silver, put it well when he said, "The thing that's the toughest to teach is the intuition for what are the big questions to ask." The big questions and the right ones. The only way to do that is get a broader perspective, and work in co-operation with someone from the outside.
That is the foundation of co-creation. Working with a partner who can see through the day-to-day, and identify the key threats and opportunities. Then work together to find solutions that can be both internal and external. The report captures that spirit. It's worth reading.
It can help you understand the territory, and then command it with confidence.

Brattleboro board not supportive of phasing police-fire project
BRATTLEBORO — Grappling with what to do next, Selectboard members agreed that phasing police and fire facility projects would not be wise.
"There has been inquiry from people about whether we should do all pieces of the project," Selectboard Chairman David Gartenstein said Tuesday. "The needs are pressing at all of the locations and some of the work needs to be done at all the locations. Delaying work at one of the locations will ultimately mean we'll have to come back to it in three or five or seven years out after doing some immediate needs work right away."
Upgrades are needed at the police and fire department facilities. There is talk of moving the police department to Black Mountain Road, where the town has entered into a purchase option agreement with the owners of the Reformer building. The site seems more viable financially but concerns about moving out of Municipal Center continue to be addressed.
Several alternatives with different price tags were shown to approximately 130 residents at three public meetings. Board member Donna Macomber said she didn't hear feedback indicating public interest in finding more options.
"I'm all for doing as much as we can," said Selectboard member John Allen, who feels the board should not put the decision onto future boards or residents. "This is our decision to make and I just think we should make it for as far into the future as we possibly can."
The board is looking at the possibility of holding a special town meeting on March 12 before regular Representative Town Meeting on March 19. A warning would need to be prepared by the first week of February.
With the town and school budgets on the warning, Gartenstein said he was not convinced those items plus a potential bond vote could all be addressed on March 19.
A ballot on Election Day on March 1 has been mentioned as a way to gather additional input. Macomber wondered if "expert guidance" could be sought for wording.
"I've drawn a blank. It's difficult to phrase the inquiry. It's difficult to parse it out into different pieces," said Gartenstein. "I'm worried about just putting a whole range of alternatives onto a ballot without sufficient explanation for the electorate result."
He suggested holding a public meeting in February after a series of Selectboard meetings where items of concerns around the project are scheduled to be discussed.
Board member David Schoales supported a discussion and vote in March if there was consensus on the board about "the best thing to do."
With so many pieces, board member Kate O'Connor said she thought the process sounded easier than it is.
"There's so many things that can drive that car into a wall," she said. "We don't need this to collapse again."
A bond for similar projects was approved three years ago. A budget was approved by Town Meeting in March 2014 but then a referendum kept the projects from getting started.

Junk-Bond Rally Defies Rising Rates
NEW YORK -- "I told you so!" is reverberating across high-yield analysts' desks and investors' offices.
Just weeks ago, people who predicted junk bonds' enduring strength in a rising rate environment were met only by the sound of investors dumping their high-yield holdings during a sustained and steep selloff.
But in the past...

Augusta may have a different external auditor for the first time in 14 years.
On Monday, a selection committee interviewed three firms for the state-mandated task of producing a public record in standard format of the city's financial situation, an "external audit," as collected and reviewed by the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts.
Three qualified bidders, all certified public accountant firms, presented proposals to the selection committee Monday: Augusta-based Serotta Maddocks Evans; Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, which has an Augusta office; and Atlanta firm Mauldin & Jenkins, officials said.
The committee will recommend one firm at a Wednesday meeting of the Augusta Commission's Pension and Audit Committee to go before the commission for approval.
If the choice is Cherry, it may not receive unanimous approval, as commissioners disagree on how often the auditor should be replaced. Cherry has been the external auditor since 1997, working on year-to-year extensions of a one-year contract.
Citing a Georgia Government Finance Officers timeline for replacing the external auditor, Commissioner Bill Lockett said Cherry ought to be replaced.
City finance officials "are much too close to their company as far as I am concerned," Lockett said.
Mayor Pro Tem Joe Bowles, a CPA and former controller at Paine College, said retaining the same firm is appropriate so long as the managing partner overseeing the audit is rotated every three to five years.
The commissioners said they would reserve judgment until the committee returned with a recommendation.
The external auditor differs from the city's internal auditor, who takes a focused look at internal controls and risk, Finance Director Donna Williams said.
The internal and external auditors also differ from a forensic auditor, for which the city recently sought bids to audit transactions associated with the Trade, Exhibit and Event Center and its parking deck.
Cherry has found little wrong in recent years with the city's books.
Its 2008 audit report did find several departments overspending their annual budgets without sufficient ongoing controls in place, mismanagement of some federal Housing and Urban Development funds and noncompliance with procurement policies.

guys of Bungie... i´m very impress for the game Destiny. i´m playing the demo and is awesome in all aspects. The only thing in a problem is the price of the game in my country is to expensive to me... thank´s team of bungie.
This game is great but it kinda one side..the Titan has the defender class and glides,the warlock self respurns and glides also But the hunter has virtually nothing but invisibility his jumping really sucks..so bungie I think you guys should involve with the hunter class give him a better jump ability at least
the way the website has more information on the story the actual fu*king game and the fact the looting system is -blam!-ed you ripped out most of the content and charge us way to much for it there is little to no reward for killing hard enemy's or raid bosses only vault of glass and Crotas end offer anything good and then you wonda why everyone results to farming but then even tho you realise you -blam!-ed up with most things you get ride of the farming cave and leave an Easter egg [a million deaths are not enough for master roul] the fu*k you lot are idiots one of the most expensive games my ar*e and I heard some bullshit recently about you releasing paid dlc for 10 years bet that's gonna cost you your life savings and probably won't have jack sh*t init either just like your first dlc pack ( stick to halo)
Can't get to the Media Gallery anymore.
skip buttons for cut scenes please. we get that they are pretty and a lot of hard work went into them but we have seen them too many times now.
Hey bungie! Sure ik this hasn't been announced but plz add a trading system. Yes I understand that it would complicate some things in destiny but give it a try for the sake of the fans. And another thing its hard to get exotics and I understand exotics are huge things in destiny but the % of getting one is too low. I work my ass off day & night trying to get an exotic and its not simple sure there are some tryhards that have a lot of exotics. But its not fun when all you want is one. And that's all I ask for thanks for listening (if you do). I'll come up with more things I think should be added thanks
NECROTHREAD! hi guys. dates are neat.
You have a good start of a game, but there is some serious problems with your mechanic system that your people should really take a serious look at. First off a MMO with no ability to trade??? Seriously? I mean it is nice to trade with your other classes, if you like playing all the other classes (personal I don't), but why not allow players to trade with each other. Second is the loot system. It should be a fairer system than what it is. I mean the random with and gear thing is cool, but a squad goes into together they should get the same kind of loot (ex. one blue random and one purple random for each player as an example) that way the game would have it more justified for each player. Third, the forcing of Crucible on players to get those exotic items like Thorn and such. I understand there needs to be challenges, but with all the content that you have in the game already I am sure that there is better ways to do this. I mean if the player is not a Crucible style player why cram that part of the game down their throats? That kind of stuff takes away a lot from a game when a player is forced to do something that is in all respects unnecessary. Fourth is the gear limits for exotic gear and guns. Only one of each armor and weapon?? Why such a limit to begin with? If it is for the Crucible battles leave it in there, but for the rest of the game it truly nothing more that a royal pain. It serves no purpose than to limit the experience and enjoyment of the game. If I buy/find/or quest for any and all equipment than I should be able to use that equipment. Fifth is a bit less important, but something I wanted to bring up. Your color palettes for gear and vehicles. I mean some of the color sets for the gear are ok, but others are bad. Why not allow the players to custom chose the color for their gear, Sparrow, and Jump Ship. It would give the game a more personal feel for the player's character and part within the Destiny world. Just some notes worth mentioning to you and your team that I feel would help the game play and replay value of this potentially bar setting title.
This game is awesome. great job. Only suggestion I have is when you go to the tower, along with our names above our heads maybe add a message box (that only holds like 15 characters ) to let other players know if your available to join a fireteam or just to say not available. Just a suggestion. :)
Hey Bungie Destiny is a really cool game, but yesterday, the other day, and a few months ago I was lucky enough to get a Truth Gjallahorn and a Dragons Breath, now my friend/cousin is complaining about my luck and his. When my cousin first heard about the Monte Carlo he said he wanted it from the first time he heard about it and still hasn't got one, then my friend Eren got one and jack/my cousin said "DESTINY I WISH THERE WAS TRADING (raging)" and when we did the nightfall strike he invited me at the last part where you have to kill Omnigul and then i got a Dragons Breath and he got 5 Strange Coins?! REALLY BUNGIE. Come on add better loot systems.
by the way - I think, more erotic clothing options for female characters will be a success too...))

Why exotic bounties necessarily require PvP missions? I don't have much skills to play crucible. So you think i don't need exotic weapon for playing PvE? That's not fair.
pls do something about vex mytoclast or this gun will forgotten as the vault of glass
No one asked for this. Vault space. All exotic weapons have bounties. Fix the heavy ammo glitch.
What is this exactly
I have two vary big good suggestions to bungie. On get rid of the stupid crusible marks being need for gear and weapons from dead orbit, New Monarchy and and FWC who ever thought it was a good idea to have a group that replaces vangaurd rep use crusible marks should have fired shot and drawn and qoutered. If it uses crusible make its rep building itom only overite crusible or make it vangard marks. Or at lest make it vanguard or crusiable giving players that hate the unfun and mindnuming PvP the ability to get the gear with having to do something they hate. Also give us something to do with the ships i mean we get these common uncommon rare and legendary ships but all they do is look prity on loading. Give us some space or air combat so they have more value.
why not create something like a mask in addition to all sorts of closed helmets?
should be able to put skins on your weapons, just saying bungie
Edited by Betwixt138: 1/15/2015 1:02:54 PM
I agree with savage_soul the exotic items are to low just got my first exotic weapon few days ago. Iv been playing every chance I gotten since Destiny came out I also believe intrying a trading system that would be great other than that I like the game but the exotic items just pissed me off so far i hope you guys hear our thoughts thanks for the time
I want a trading system as the gift. You make it so that a lvl. 30 can only trade with other lvl. 30's andc the gear has to be of the same quality and also when traded the gear resets it upgrade tree. Just an Idea
Well Deej I just want to say I think the art is great in Destiny and it would be great if I could have MORE SPACE TO PUT ALL THE AWESOMELY DESIGNED WEAPONS AND ARMOUR. Vault upgrad please and thankyou.

AUSTIN South by Southwest is taking over Austin next week for the 31st edition of the sprawling conference and festival, which runs from March 10 to 19.
This year marks a major change in the way guests enter the festival. Badge holders for specific tracts—interactive, film, or music—will be able to take advantage of other programming sections through secondary access. Platinum badges still offer all-inclusive access to all programming, and every person will be able to attend the gaming portion. The music portion is also extended by an extra day.
Brands are scaling back their efforts, as well. Spotify isn't producing its Spotify House event this year, opting for a more low-key presence. It will curate a special SXSW hub within the music app, which will also be accessible through the festival's official app. Likewise, Hype Hotel, a collaboration from music app Hype Machine that in the past has featured Taco Bell's container restaurant, is not returning.
Similarly, though not officially affiliated with SXSW, the Fader Fort is downsizing its typically sprawling festival. Its former venue, Pine Street Station, is being redeveloped, and the music publication opted to host a intimate event at a smaller venue, Volcom Garden. Only hand-picked guests received invitations, while others can experience it through a stream on its website.
Other brands are going big with engaging activations. Amazon Prime Video is erecting what it calls the Resistance Radio Headquarters, promoting the streaming service's hit series The Man in the High Castle. Along with the radio setup, there will be a pop-up store, bar, and musical performances at the downtown venue Market & Tap. Amazon will promote other shows in the space as well.
Television network TNT is fashioning a pop-up beach for its series Animal Kingdom. The centerpiece of the Southern California-inspired event will be a surf wave pool, where participants can test out their board skills.
Since Uber and Lyft do not operate in the city because of local regulations, Mazda, the festival's official car sponsor, is offering free rides to people who pre-register online. CNN, Fast Company, Visa, Collide, General Electrics, and many others are hosting events and activations, as well.
Last year, more than 140,000 people came to SXSW, with organizers estimating an economic impact of $325.3 million on the city.

Oakwood was asked to help Tretorn reconnect with their tennis fans. Tretorn is a brand with a lot of heritage and practically invented the tennis balls of today. Thus, we decided that the project should be around the iconic ball. A familiar item to any player (or anyone that has ever heard about tennis), the perfect message carrier.
In order to reconnect with the fans we had to make it personal. So we created the Tretorn Portrait Project and let the tennis fans create their own signature balls printed by a robot on Tretorn tennis balls.
This took place in our signature ball factory at the ATP and WTA tour in Båstad. During the week in Båstad Serena Williams, Marc Jacobs and 1300 others got their hands on a signature Tretorn Portrait tennisball.
Curious to know more about the tech behind this?

From November 16 through January 1, passengers get to soar through the night sky and take in the ocean of holiday lights beneath them.

Tours depart from the second entrance of Hampton Roads Executive Airport, which is inside Norfolk Flight Center.

About Hampton Roads Air Tours
Hampton Roads Air Tours delights passengers with overhead views of ships drifting in and out of Norfolk's downtown harbor; the centuries-old foundations of the Jamestown Settlement; the lighthouses of Cape Henry; and a sprawling patchwork quilt of lakes, forests, and meadowlands. The company's pilots helm small, wide-windowed planes to grant passengers this unique aerial perspective on day and night tours. They fly passengers over natural landscapes and cities by day and over Norfolk after sunset when the city lights blink to life. Their seasonal flights fill hearts with wonder as guests witness yuletide light displays or a giant cupid scaling a skyscraper with his betrothed. During aerial-photography flights, pilots provide riders with full open-window access for shooting personal, artistic, and business-related projects.

The Big (Rotten) Apple
By Sarah Martin Hood on August 28, 2007 in travel, work life balance
So I went to NYC again last week. This time there was no shopping on 5th Avenue or strolling in Central Park. There was lots of grueling, hard work. Not really?. I did go for work, but we had as much fun as we did anything else. As much fun as Planes, Trains and Automobiles […]

MyEssayWriting.com - Essay Writing Services.
Produced by: Discovery Communications
Genre: Documentary
Runtime: 50 min
The Great Books video series presented by the Discovery Channel introduces literary classics to students and readers, telling the stories with the help of clips from feature films and other dramatically acted scenes. Interviews with scholars provide information about the authors, the historical context in which the books were written, and comments on the texts. In Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift's famous satire (which is also an entertaining adventure story), Gulliver, a sailor, is blown overboard in a raging storm and washes up on the shore of Lilliput, a country where the people are only several inches tall. The Lilliputians respond defensively, since they see him as a giant, but Gulliver later receives the opposite treatment from the giant citizens of Brobdingnag. Experiences among intelligent horses (the Houyhnhnms) and on the flying island of Laputa are used to make ironic points about human nature and perspective. The program is narrated by Donald Sutherland.

Paint Party Friday and the Word of God
I am sure many of you are familiar with this famous prose from Corinthians about Love. One of my favourites.
As is this one from the Psalms. Don't you just love the Psalms? I do, and I love that our Heavenly Father knows the secrets of our hearts.
But my absolute favourite scripture of all is this one from Jeremiah, the weeping prophet . . . these words have carried me through many a hard row to hoe in my life.
Just what's on my work station this Paint Party Friday. Hop on over to the Paint Party Friday blog and have a gander at all the other entries this week. You will be amazed at what you find. There is a fabulous lot of talent out there. I am terribly in awe of it. It cheers my heart.

YuniquePLM adds line planning and development calendar
28 October 2014 | News | Source: Leonie Barrie
Yunique Solutions has updated its product lifecycle management (PLM) solution to improve speed, efficiency and usability for the fashion and apparel industry.
Highlights of YuniquePLM V6 include new line planning and development calendar functions, which the company says have been introduced in response to customer demand.

The new development calendar provides company-wide visibility into product development, helping save time and ensure accountability. Line planning capabilities allow users to plan everything from business financials to product development; 3D file support means users can view, store and analyse 3D files in one location; and mass sample request development enables styles, materials, samples and edits to be created all together, to speed the process and reduce data entry time.

Toast is great.It's delicious and it invites creativity when it comes to toppings.
While Westerners have been enjoying toast for ages, it's somewhat of a new trend in Shanghai's culinary scene.Artisanal bakeries are opening all over downtown,baking top-quality breads daily.
Whether it's peanut butter and jelly,cream cheese or just butter,there's always a good way to enjoy toast.Try out these ideas to add a little extra pizzazz to your toast.
Roll It
If you have a little time in the morning, French toast roll-ups are worth trying.
This sibling to traditional French toast is only slightly more complicated to make.Take regular sandwich bread, white or whole wheat, cut off the crusts and flatten out with a rolling pin.
Then spread a thin layer of peanut butter and add your favorite fillings (like strawberries, banana, blueberries) and roll.
Dip the rolls in the egg and milk mixture and cook in a buttered frying pan until the color turns golden brown on all sides.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar or drizzle maple syrup on top.
The idea behind French toast roll-ups is that you can improves and try everything your heart desires.These can also be served as a dessert or a finger food at a party.
The combination of nut butter and seasonal fruits is most popular, especially peanut butter with bananas and Nutella with strawberries.
You can also opt for alternative spreads like cream cheese, almond butter,cashew butter,cocoa butter or chestnut spread.A slice of cheese also makes an excellent filling.
Stack It
A sandwich doesn't always have to be a BLT or turkey with cheddar.Bruschetta,an Italian toast drenched in olive oil,is an option for a healthy and hearty meal.
There's also tartine,a French open-faced sandwich that can cost 40yuan (US$6.5) or more,enough money to buy a loaf of good bread.
Tartine sandwiches are versatile and can be made with most ingredients.From sautéed mushrooms and avocado to kale and Swiss cheese,or ricotta and pear to smoked salmon and cucumber, you can try something different every day without repeating the same recipe for a month.
Lightly toast the sliced bread if you prefer a crunchier taste,add cheese (cheddar, Swiss, feta, cottage cheese or anything you desire) or spreads like nut butter and honey,then drop a generous portion of vegetables,nuts or meat on top.
Use whole wheat or rye instead of white bread for a better texture and more fiber.A mix of ingredients add color and texture to any tartine sandwich.
The choice of ingredients also determines whether it's healthy or not.
Fill It
The very ordinary breakfast egg sandwich went viral a while ago when people starting putting a fried egg into a slice of toast instead of on top.
It has several names including "egg in the basket"or"egg in the hole,"and it's now a breakfast classic.
On a cutting board,cut a square hole in the center of the bread and keep the square for later use.
Grease the pan with olive oil over medium heat, place the"frame"of the bread slice in the pan until it' s lightly toasted,then crack the egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper.
Cook until it's golden brown and flip to brown the opposite side.The cooking time varies depending on whether you prefer a runny or solid yolk.
The cut out square of bread can be toasted and used to dip in the egg yolk,or before you flip the sandwich,sprinkle some shredded cheese and put it back as a lid and cook until both sides are browned.
You can also add bacon crumbs or ham in the "basket".
These recipes can be cooked in under 10 minutes for a quick breakfast.

Ease of use. That's what's happening with this cap and hard rubber roller combo.
We've used foam brushes, paint brushes, squeeze bottles, rollers, even fingers with Inkodye, and here Lumi comes along and crashes our messy party with a quick, clean, neat way of applying their dye! The nerve!
Jokes aside, this contraption comes in quite handy when you happen to be dealing with a thin, flow-able paint or dye that needs to be applied to a large area, stat! There's even a little stopper on the back of the roller so you can put the pause button on if the dye or paint starts to get out of control.
The roller fits Inkodye bottles, as well as any bottle with a standard 24/410 cap.

Sorry these are discontinued.

It just happens to come at the end of day that saw one of the most successful military operations in recent memory. Fox News broke in to "The O'Reilly Factor" around 8:17pmET to cover the President's remarks with Bret Baier anchoring. Lawrence O'Donnell took the remarks live as well during his show. CNN aired the president's remarks about 10 minutes later. The president got a standing ovation when he said, "We have all had disagreements and differences in the past. I suspect we will have them again in the future. but, last night as Americans learned that the United States had carried out an operation that resulted in the capture and death of Osama Bin Laden [applause] we experienced the same sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11."

We could not be more pleased with the efficiency and final product from the work completed by Quality Pressure Cleaning!

Power Banks
Pink Mini Magic Power Bank
Free Delivery
Ever find yourself on a long car or plane journey and realise you are running out of battery in your phone or tablet? Or at a festival with only 1% of battery life left, but really wanting to phone your best friend later when their favourite band is playing? Well fret no more; the mini magic bank is here! This small and stylish highly portable charger can be used to juice up your mobile when no mains power is available. It works a bit like rechargeable batteries! You charge it up at home and then carry it around with you for power on the go. One full charge will full replenish an iPhone 4 battery almost two times over. It even features a handy torch, making it doubly useful on camping trips. Also available in black or white.
Supplied with
Pink high capacity 5200 mAh Power Bank Li-Ion Battery
Charging Lead
USB Lead to charge iPhone 3G/ 3Gs/ 4/ 4s
Mini USB to charge Samsung phones, Kindle and other compatible mini USB devices allowing 5.2V.
Can also be used to charge an iPhone 5 (simply use the USB lead that comes with your phone charger to connect to the power bank)
Built in torch!
Connect your Power Bank to the mains using the Mini USB provided and charge for 5 hours for maximum charging capacity
5 LED lights indicate status. Red lights means charging, blue means charged
When required, connect your phone or other USB compatible device using the required lead and away you go!
The amount of charge remaining in the power bank can be determined by turning it on when not connected. Each LED that lights up blue represents 20% of charge, (so five lights means full to the brim!)
This power bank has a high capacity of 5200mAh. This approximates to 5.2amp hours of charging. As an iPhone battery only has a capacity of 1420mAh you may think you would get almost four refills, but unfortunately the charge process does not work on a 1:1 ratio. Beware of anyone who tells you it does! You will, however, get almost 2 full iPhone 4 charges.

Gambling is tense, thrilling and most of the time, has an outcome you just can't predict. Qualities like that are what make gambling a perfect basis for great movies. Setting a plot around gambling can lead to high stakes or absurd situations based only on a bet and the desire to win. Gambling can even be used in movies to frame relationships. Gambling is all about the tells and nothing lets you into a character's head space more, than how they handle themselves under pressure.
So we've picked our favourite films that focus around gambling. We've tried to get a good spread, from comedies, to dramas, to straight up gambling thriller epics. So take a moment and check out our recommendations for the best gambling movies of all time. You may even discover a new favourite film.
We always have a lot more guides, reviews and fun stuff like this on our Youtube channel. So if you want more, head over there.

a VirtualTourist member from Héroes de Mexico
hello everyone,
I kindly as for advise on how to move around in Sevastopol and also for suggestions on what sights will be good to check out. I'm also interested on visiting Yalta thus I'd appreciate some recommendations on how to get there whether by taking a bus or the train. Thank you
The Most interesting things to visit in Sevastopol are:
1. Panorama Museum - There is an amazing museum called a Panorama, which depicts the siege of Sevastopol (from the Russian point of view) with a display a little like a diaorama, but much more impressive - there is a huge circular canvas of about 2000 square metres as a backdrop, and then lots of props such as cannons and models of redoubts in the foreground. It's narrated in Russian but you can hire an audioguide in English or French. Admission 40UAH +15UAH for camera. -
2. Chersonesus Taurica (also transliterated as Chersonese, Chersonesos, Cherson) is an ancient Greek colony founded approximately 2,500 years ago in the southwestern part of Crimea, known then as Taurica. The ancient city is located on the shore of the Black Sea at the outskirts of Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. The site is now a part of the National Historical-Archeological Museum-Zapovednik of the Ukrainian Khersones Tavriysky.
3. Khan Palace in Bakhchisary - Bakhchysarai is an urban-type settlement, the administrative center of the Bakhchysarai district, as well as the former capital of the Crimean Khanate. Its main landmark is Hansaray, the only extant palace of the Crimean Khans, currently opened to tourists as a museum.
4. Assumption Monastery - It is a cave monastery carved out of a cliff.
The date of the monastery's foundation is disputed, although local monks assert that it originated as early as the 8th century but was abandoned when Byzantium lost its hold on the region. The current monastic establishment dates back to the 15th century. In 1921 the monastery was closed by the Soviet government. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Ukrainian independence the monastery was reopened.
5. Sevastopol Shipyard - The Sevastopol Marine Plant was founded in 1783 and occupies three production sectors alongside the Sevastopol Bay. Today it is engaged in the repair, modernization and re-equipment of Russian and Ukrainian Naval ships and submarines.
6. Valley of Death
7. Malakhov Kurgan (Barrow) with its White Tower
8. Admirals' Burial Vault
9. The Monument to the scuttled ships on the Marine Boulevard
10. The Black Sea Fleet Museum
11. The Storming of Sapun-gora of May 7, 1944, the Diorama Museum (World War II)
12. Fraternal (Communal) War Cemetery
13. The city of Balaklava is approximately 45 minutes away and popular for its underground submarine port that is now a tourist site.
Sevastopol, like most any ethnic Russian town, is a challenge, but certainly worth the attempt for all interested in its unique charm and war history.
The best way to get from Sevastopol to Yalta (83 km) is taking a bus at the bus station(2,5 hour) or a minibus (1,5 hour).
You can find a lot of info about Crimea, Yalta and Sevastopol at discover-ukraine.info/index/.... You even can find some tours you can take during your staying in Crimea. Hope it will help you.

Accidents are preventable, especially pedestrian accidents. Therefore, educating drivers and pedestrians is critical to saving lives and being safe on the streets. Best Foot Forward (BFF) encourages residents to educate themselves on the rights and resources available to them for pedestrian safety.
BFF's educational initiatives include community outreach efforts where the pedestrian safety messages are presented to residential communities where locals live, work and play.
Best Foot Forward is your resource for pedestrian safety education. If you are interested in having us come speak to your organization please contact Amanda Day via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. We would love to be a part of your next homeowner's association meeting, school presentation, health fair or other organizational gatherings.
Protect Pedestrians at Crosswalks
We are trying to make our streets safer for everyone. Help us by cooperating and by encouraging others to do the same.
- Never stop directly at or too near a crosswalk. Stop 30 feet back so pedestrians can see cars in other lanes.
- Wait until pedestrians have crossed at least one lane beyond yours before proceeding.
- Use special care when turning at intersections. Pedestrians are more vulnerable to turning vehicles and must look over their shoulder to see them.
If a visually- or mobility-impaired person is in the process of crossing a roadway at an intersection or in a mid-block crosswalk, stop 30 feet back and wait until the person has crossed all lanes of traffic before proceeding.
Be alert for children. They may dart out into traffic without warning. Adults may also do the same.
Know the law and remember, regardless of the pedestrian's behavior, you have the duty to exercise due care.

Council urged to form youth group
A youth leadership group wants the Alice Springs Town Council to establish a youth council.
Mayor Damien Ryan says it is one of three proposals presented to the council by the Desert Knowledge' Youth Desert Leadership initiative.
Students from St Phillip's College, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College, Centralian Senior College and Yirara College are involved in the project.
Mr Ryan says he has been impressed by the enthusiasm of the students and their creative approach to dealing with the town's problems.
"The one that I see fitting with us most logically and the one that ... a lot of energy's gone into by the youth is this way to form some sort of a advisory group or some sort of coordinating group within council to be able to work with council," he said.

Obesity is a chronic condition characterized by excess body fat. This accumulated body fat can lead to unhealthy effects in the body and reduced life expectancy. To be considered obese, the body mass index should be greater than 30 kg/m2. Obesity increases the occurrence of health problems and diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, breathing difficulties and osteoarthritis. These problems have caused alarms all over the world because of its deadly effects and the increasing number of obesity today. According to the World Health Organization, one in three Americans is obese and that the number of obese people has significantly increased over the past two decades.
It is the leading preventable cause of death around the world. It is considered one of the most serious public health problems today.
Causes of Obesity
When a person eats more calories than the body can burn, weight begins to increase. Excessive and frequent eating of foods high in calories and lack of exercise or physical activity are the main causes of obesity. The choice of food such as those rich in carbohydrates and fats also cause obesity.
There are also other causes of obesity such as:
Genetics – Chances are when a person's parent or both parents are obese, that person is likely to become obese in the future.
Slow Metabolism – Women are more prone to obesity than men because men have more muscles than women. Muscles burn more calories than other tissues and due to this reason women find it difficult to lose weight.
Medication – Anti depressants, anti convulsants, diabetic medications, some high blood pressure medications and antihistamine are known to cause weight gain.
Proper Diet and exercise are the primary treatments for obesity. People try to lose weight in the wrong way such as starving themselves and going on crash diets. Studies show that people who diet unhealthily are more likely to gain weight. The right way to lose weight is to eat healthy foods in moderation and lose weight modestly. Rapid weight loss is not advised. Diet quality is also important. Energy dense foods that are high in fats and sugar need to be reduced. Intake of dietary fiber should be increased. One needs to consult his or her physician, dietitian and weight loss trainer for the right weight loss program.
When diet and exercise is not enough or effective, anti obesity drugs are given by doctors to obese patients. In severe cases of obesity, surgery is conducted or intragastric balloon is placed inside the stomach to reduce the amount of food intake or to reduce bowel length in order to reduce absorption of nutrients.
A healthy lifestyle is needed to achieve the right weight for one's body type. The choice of the right and healthy foods, an active lifestyle and regular exercise are the things one needs to follow to prevent obesity. Some genetic predisposition causes obesity to occur. This can also be prevented by proper control of the condition. The goal in dealing with obesity is not to achieve the ideal weight but rather to achieve and maintain a healthier weight.

The wealthy liberals are now seeing the fruits of their no-growth economic policies. Even the stock market has finally begun to pay attention to the lack of growth in the western economies.
While the pundits continue to drone on about China, the Fed and the oil market, the truth is we live in an over-regulated world. That creates two related problems: 1) it is incredibly difficult to start a new business or to expand an existing business; 2) dislocations like the current fallout from the energy industry take forecver to effect transition of the unused resources to other purposes. Both of these problems create enormous economic waste.
Lets do some simple arithmetic. If an economy grows at a two percent rate for seven years, it will have 15 percent more GDP at the end of seven years than it had at the beginning. If that same economy grew at four percent, the increase in GDP would be 31.5. Subtracting one from the other, our economy would be 16.5 percent larger today, if we had the average growth rate since World War II. 16.5 percent of $ 18 trillion is almost $ 3 trillion.
So, the true cost of Obama economic policies is 16.5 percent of our GDP by this point, or almost $ 3 trillion.
So, all of these arbitrary regulations and Dodd-Frank type legislation have real-world costs. Now the rich are beginning to help pay the cost with a weakened stock market. The middle class has been paying the cost for the past seven years and will continue to suffer as long as this regulatory regime remains in place.

If book publishers want to see the next decade in any reasonable health, then it's absolutely imperative that they rethink their pricing strategies and business models right now. Hopefully this example will illustrate why:
I'm a big fan of Iain Banks' novels; I always buy them in hardback as soon as they come out. It doesn't [...]

Some people would say that the word 'Control' could be interpreted as negative or aggressive. While this may be true, when we talk about emotional intelligence it becomes an incredibly important word, especially around expressing emotions. After a difficult interaction we often think back and wonder whether if we had acted differently, changed the way we said something, or maybe even listened better, would the outcome have been different?
Difficult interactions can result in difficult outcomes. If a person expresses anger at you, gesturing and moving towards you in an angry manor, what would your natural reaction be? Do you confront, defend, or retreat? It is rare that we would attempt to apply a rationale to the situation, to try to understand 'why is this person approaching me in this way?' Emotional intelligence teaches us about awareness and control, and how to manage our emotions and the emotions of others.
I experienced the negative side of control on a recent business trip. At the airport check in on the return leg home I was told my bag was too heavy. Although slightly confused (as it was the same weight as travelling out), my thoughts were on getting home so I offered to pay for any excess weight to resolve any issues. Thinking this would be fairly straightforward I was surprised when this was not accepted and I was advised to remove items from my luggage until it was satisfactory.
This is the point where emotional intelligence of the staff at check in would have been beneficial!
Before I had the chance to properly consider and respond to what had been stated (which was a fair request), another managerial member of staff approached the desk and aggressively stated that my bag was not going on the flight unless I removed items from it. This person wouldn't listen, wouldn't allow me to speak and after talking at me, put their hand up to gesture "conversation over" and just walked away. While some people might believe that this is controlling the situation and is acceptable customer service, I did not. Not only did the interaction leave me feeling unhappy, but the personnel left at the desk were visibly tense and uncomfortable. (I should point out that I did remove the items from my bag to make the weight acceptable)!
Interactions like these are often put out of mind and filed away as a bad or negative experience. However, is there a long term effect? How do I view the airline after my customer experience?
I have a perception and attitude change towards the airline. The chances of me flying with this airline again are extremely remote as I do not desire to replicate the experience I had with them. There was no empathy from the manager. Empathy is critical to creating a positive customer experience from something potentially negative. How we approach and interact with people when providing a service is of the upmost importance. Emotional intelligence empowers us to deliver the best outcomes for the given situation.
Negative outcomes of an interaction can have a prolonged effect on an individual. When you overcome the surprise or shock of a negative encounter, you feel the necessity to discuss it and do something about it. From this particular experience, the check-in people did not know who I was, or whether I was important to their business or not. They didn't consider the long term effect a negative customer experience could have on their roles or even their business. When we interact with others we should never assume anything, but instead focus on using our emotional intelligence to deliver a positive outcome, a 'meeting of minds', no matter who the person is.
Understanding how to use our emotions when we enter an interaction is paramount to a successful outcome. For every interaction I have, I reflect on the experience and evaluate if I applied my emotions intelligently: Was empathy displayed? Did I and the people involved in the interaction control and manage our emotions? How did I feel after the interaction? What is my perception of the people/business now?
Emotional intelligence has become a critical factor in the development of business and people performance, within challenging and aggressive industries it provides that competitive edge.
