My pc just stopped working and it is saying I need a password to start it back up it goseto a bios set up screen and wont let me open anything
What is make / model of PC?
If it is a laptop, you'll have to send to manufacturer to unlock as well provide proof of ownership.
It opens to a bios setup page and then there's a password request box? If so, you should be able to open the case and locate the 'clear cmos' jumper. With the power cord removed, jumper it to the clear positioin for a second or two and then back to the strandby position. Then plug the power cord back in and start up the PC.
Then go into cmos/bios setup and set the time and date and possibly the cpu speed--if it's not auto detecting it. (Some of the older Asus boards were that way.)

MIAMI – July 6, 2011 – Foreign buyers are helping to stoke home sales in U.S. vacation hot spots decimated by the real estate crash, especially in southern Florida.
For the 12 months ending in March, 31 percent of Florida's home sales were to foreign buyers, up from 10 percent in 2007, according to a survey by the National Association of Realtors.
In Arizona, 6 percent of sales in the same period were to foreigners. That was down from 11 percent last year but still up from 5 percent in 2007, the data show.
Foreign buyers are being enticed by low U.S. home prices, down 30 percent nationwide since peaking in 2006, and the weakened dollar, which makes their money go further. Since the start of 2006, the Canadian dollar has soared 18 percent against the U.S. dollar, while the euro has gained 22 percent, says data tracker Oanda.
U.S. home prices, meanwhile, have fallen far more than the national average in some places, down 55 percent from their peaks in Miami-Fort Lauderdale and Phoenix, and 36 percent in Los Angeles, says Zillow.com. Those are three of the most popular areas for foreigners searching for real estate on Trulia's website, that company says.
Sales are so brisk in the Miami region now that more houses and condominiums could sell this year than in 2005, the peak year, says Ronald Shuffield, president of Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell Realtors in Coral Gables, Fla.
"International buyers have been the fuel for the Miami recovery," Shuffield says.
About 40 percent of buyers are international vs. less than 35 percent before the bust, he estimates. Many buyers are South American investors snapping up condominiums to rent out, says Peter Zalewski of market researcher Condo Vultures.
In the Phoenix region, there are at least 20 percent more foreigners in the market now than usual, says Don Hammer, manager of Realty Executives in Paradise Valley, Ariz.
One of those shoppers is retired hedge fund manager Peter Duerr of Austria. He's planning to buy a home in Scottsdale, having sold one there in 2005. "The U.S. is a great buy right now," Duerr says.
The largest share of foreign buyers, 23 percent, come from Canada, the Realtors' survey found. China followed at 9 percent. The survey includes foreigners living abroad, those in the U.S. with long-term visas and new immigrants.

Lower Intermediate Mixed Skills
This course is a bit of a chimera – ostensibly a pre-requisite for transfer-level writing, but in practice very similar to free adult education courses. Students are quite open about this, and the extraneousness of the course in light of the growing AESL program is part of the reason that it will no longer be offered in the fall (in addition to a law passed in CA mandating that community colleges move ESL students up to transfer level writing within 3 years). On the other hand, it's the course that I've taught in at this school the longest, and I have a sentimental attachment to it. In light of that, it might not be all that useful to be combing over my curriculum for areas of potential improvement, but I still want to see what I did right and what I did wrong.Continue reading "Bonanza of Correlations, Spring 2019 Edition, part 2"

Hello and welcome to Christmas and Holiday Cooking.
We hope that you will sit back, stay awhile and enjoy reading about some of our favorite holiday foods. You might even be inspired to try some of the recipes for yourself. Not all holiday foods have to be fattening in order to taste good. We tend to lighten most of our recipes in order to make them healthier.
Hope you enjoy.
Happy Holidays!

Making the Cornbread Dressing on Christmas Day
Traditional Southern Keith Family Cornbread Dressing
I had planned on making my great-grandmother Keith's, and my grandmother's cornbread dressing this year all by myself. I just didn't like the way Gordon has made it in the past. He would use their recipe but he would, as I say, "Whann it up." And I didn't want that. I wanted the dressing the old fashioned, southern way that the Keith women in my family had made it, so I took on that project with great pride. I even used my great-grandmother's cast iron skillet, just like she would do.
That cast iron skillet above is about 100 years old.
I was very proud of my dressing that I made myself. I made the corn bread two days in advance in that cast iron skillet and let it sit in a bowl getting stale, just like the women in my family would do. I used cake flour with the corn bread just like my great-grandmother Keith would use. That makes the cornbread all light and fluffy.
I felt as if I had lots of critical women glaring down on me this day. But I came through, I did it for me, and for them.
If you would like the recipe for the corn bread and the southern dressing, then just visit our:
Corn Bread, Cast Iron Skillet, Dressing, and Tradition
then just click on the link above.
Gordon did make the best Christmas Ham
Cooking the Ham
This year I did a simple brown sugar and spice dry rub. I used ~1 Cup of Splenda brown sugar along with ~1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, 1/2 tsp cardamon, 1/2 tsp salt. Mix all ingredients well and spread over the sides of your ham.
Then I placed pineapple rings to the sides of the ham and affixed them using toothpicks. I also placed two Marciano cherries within the center of the pineapple. I cooked the ham at 350'F for 15 min. for every Lb the ham weighed. Using a dry rub made a nice sweet crust on the outside of the ham. The pineapple and cherries became caramelized and added good flavor to the ham.

Our Appetizers
We had the family over a few days before Christmas for some great appetizers.
Pictured above are my most favorite holiday foods, sausage balls, and drunken devils on horseback.
Broccoli and Cheese Dip with Corn Chips
The Broccoli and Cheese Dip recipe I got from my grandmother in the early 80's. I think she went to a party where it was being served and she asked for the recipe. Gordon has changed it around over the years to suit our tastes and he has eliminated things like garlic cheese and mushrooms from the original recipe. This is a favorite of mine and Gordon's that we continue to make it over the holidays every year.
Broccoli and Cheese Dip
- 1 Large Family pack of Frozen Broccoli
- 4 T. Butter or Margarine
- 1 Cup Chopped Onions
- 6 Chopped Garlic Cloves, Chopped Fine
- 16 oz. Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
Allow broccoli to thaw and cook in the microwave for just a few minutes. Drain the water. In a sauce pan on the stove top, saute the onions and garlic in the butter or margarine until nice and soft on a medium heat.. Then cut your cheese up into chunks and add to the mixture to melt. You may want to reduce your heat just a little. Then add your cans of Cream of Mushroom soup and your broccoli. Allow the mixture to cook for about 10 minutes on a medium low heat.. Serve hot.
This is excellent eaten on top of a baked potato. We however, like it as a dip served with corn chips.
You can thin it out with some milk if necessary.
Drunken Devils on Horseback
We've written about these in the past. We originally got the recipe from Nigella Lawson's, Nigella Christmas cookbook.
Nigella's original recipe is to soak prunes overnight in Brandy and then wrap them in bacon and cook in the oven for 20 minutes until done.
We went on to expand the recipe to include dried figs and dates as well. Sometimes we even stuff the dates with a goat cheese before wrapping in bacon and cooking in the oven.
This is now a Christmas staple in our home.
Sausage Balls
This recipe most everyone knows by heart and cooks each year. Ours is nothing spectacular in the ingredients, but they are my favorite! Whenever Gordon makes them I can eat them hot out of the oven, luke warm, or my personal favorite, cold right out of the refrigerator.
- 4 Cups Biscuit Mix
- 2 lb. Hot Sausage
- 2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
This is the BEST sausage.
Just dump everything into a bowl and mix together with your hands. Roll into individual bite-sized balls. Place onto a cookie sheet and bake in a 350F oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until done. They freeze very well too.
Our Cocktails
The Naughty and Nice
(Because everyone is naughty AND nice.)
Gordon created an excellent cocktail himself.
This drink was really good and just right for us here in Florida. I used 3 parts tangerine red grapefruit juice, 1 part triple sec, 1 1/2 parts Aperol, and 1/2 parts Vodka. Place all in a shaker with a few ice cubes and shake well. Garnish with an orange slice and a piece of licorice.
A piece of licorice represents the coal for when your bad, and the orange is for when you are good.
The shortbread cookies were homemade and mailed to us from New Zealand by our friend Trish. She and Bob also gave us the lovely glass plate the cookies are on.
The Giblet Gravy
(This is yet another Keith family tradition. Giblet gravy is made from the turkey giblets.)
Gordon always makes this gravy but he uses my great-grandmother's recipe. This gravy is excellent with turkey, of course. We saved the giblets from our Thanksgiving turkey.
Recipe as written by my mother:
Boil an egg, wash the liver, heart and cleaned gizzard and neck. Cover gizzard and heat with about 3 cups of cold water, add 1 t. salt and dash of pepper. Simmer 45 minutes – 1 hour.
Add liver and simmer about 20 minutes more, until tender.
Take giblets out of broth and chop up fine.
Cooked Turkey Giblets
Gordon Cooking the Gizzards
Discard the Turkey Butt
The Chopped Giblets and Hard Boiled Egg
Take the giblets out of the broth and chop up fine. Put some of your fat drippings from the bird, (4 T.) in skillet. Heat it and add 4 T. flour, stir. Be sure to salt and pepper and add broth. Use canned broth also if you don't have enough. I usually have to. Always stir smooth after adding liquid.
(The giblet gravy was made in the cast iron skillet as well.)
Keep adding liquid bringing to a boil after additions until gravy is thin as you want it. Then add chopped giblets and boiled egg. Also add some seasonings of thyme, sage, marjoram, and rosemary to taste.
"Gravy's Ready"!
Our Cranberry Sauce
For this recipe I used 2 bags of fresh cranberries, 2 cups of water, 1 cup of Splenda baking sugar, 1 Tbsp orange rind, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
First, pour your cranberries, sugar, and water into a medium pot and bring it to a boil.
Using a splatter screen will prevent splattering when the berries start to pop open when they cook. Be sure to stir this mixture some to ensure even cooking.
Once the berries have mostly popped, turn the temp off and add your juices, rind, and cinnamon. The mixture will be very hot for a while, so be sure to have plenty of time to let it cool before eating.
Adding the Orange Juice
Once done, the cranberry sauce will be jelly like as there is a good deal of pectin in cranberries.
Trust me, this tastes much better than the sauce from the can!
The Most Delicious Dessert Ever
Pretzel Jello Salad
This dessert is officially classified as a salad, but so many people that I know love it as a dessert. Especially MEN!
You guessed it! The crust is smashed up stick pretzels, sugar and butter.
I guess that I just can't post enough photos of this. 🙂
It really is that good.
Pretzel Jello Salad Recipe
- 2-3 Cups Crushed Stick Pretzels
- 1 1/2 Sticks Margarine, Melted
- 3 T. Sugar (we used Splenda fine sugar)
- 1 Large Box of Strawberry Jello
- 2 Cups Boiling Water
- 1 Pint Frozen Strawberries
- 8 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Sugar (we used Splenda fine sugar)
- 8 Ounces Cool Whip (we used sugar free Cool-Whip)
Crush the pretzels. We used a plastic baggie and a wooden mallet to crush them. You want nice small pieces, not crumbs.
(I use more pretzels than the recipe requires.)
Crushing the Pretzels
Then place into a shallow baking dish and add about 3 T. of sugar, and about half a stick of melted margarine.
Mix together and then bake in the oven for about 10 minutes on a 325F oven.
Let the pretzel crust cool completely.
Now you prepare and strawberry jello, using the package directions. That's where the boiling water comes into play. Add the frozen strawberries and refrigerate. You don't want the jello to fully harden. Only to thicken up.
Place in the refrigerator to thicken up but not congeal completely.
Then in a mixer you want to cream together your cream cheese and your sugar. Beat until creamy.
Then fold in your Cool Whip.
Spread onto the pretzel crust.
Then add the strawberry jello over the top and refrigerate until ready to eat.

It's just not Christmas without the Chillen's
Gifts From the Hostess
I always like to keep little gifts by the front door around the holidays. Usually edible. Whether they be some sort of chocolates, or some specialty candies, or seasonal bags of coffee, things like that. But here I have jars of our homemade Russian Tea.
These are nice for handing out to unexpected guests that drop by around the holidays. Also to give to your postal workers that bring your packages to the door. I like tying pretty ribbons and ornaments to the jars. Sometimes I include some pretty Christmas napkins as well.
Our Russian Tea
Russian Tea is something I first learned about from dating Gordon back in the 80's and meeting his family. It was something of a staple for the holidays in their household. They would make up a large batch of it and pass it out as Christmas gifts.
It's such a beautiful color that it would also make an excellent gift at Thanksgiving.
Gordon Making the Russian Tea
I once asked him why it's called Russian tea but he didn't know. His family just always called it that.
The Russian Tea Ingredients
As you can see we are making quite a bit to give as gifts for the holidays.
Gordon pouring the ingredients into a large bowl.
Note: Gordon had originally bought a lemon flavored tea which we both thought would add a nice lemon twist to this tea. However when we opened the canister the tea was a very pale color. Now normally there is nothing wrong with that but part of the appeal of this tea is in the colorful swirl of all the ingredients working in harmony with each other. So Gordon had to quickly run out and buy some regular Nestea.
This is a Beautiful Looking Tea
Taste Test
It's my job to do the canning but before I do that it's time for a taste test.
Just add a teaspoon or two to a hot mug of water. The cinnamon will float on top but that is o.k.
It's Perfect!
Now for the Assembly
All you really need are clean jars and lids, a funnel and a ladle. The rest is extra adornments that you can leave up to your own discretion.
I do however love to dress them up with some lovely fabric, (this fabric Gordon bought in the Middle East years ago and brought back to me. Also some lovely vintage Santa Christmas ornaments, some cord ribbon and even some gold bead chain.
Russian Tea Mix Recipe
(This is the original recipe. We have altered it to allow for ingredients that we simply cannot find or to allow for our ever evolving tastes. You can do the same if you like, it's up to you. You can also double or triple the recipe, like we have here.)
-1 Jar Tang (about 20 ounces)
-1/3 Jar Tea (we used a 3 ounce jar of Nestea so you will only need about an ounce.)
-2 small Pkg. Pineapple/Orange Jello
(We can't always find the pineapple/orange jello so we use one pineapple and one orange jello.)
- – 2 T. ground cloves
- – 4 T. ground cinnamon
- – 2 T. ground nutmeg
Lovely Gift Idea
Julie's Gingerbread Cake
Very easy to do. Just make a gingerbread cake using any recipe that you like. Then when it is cooled cut it up into small pieces and place them kind of stacked up onto a cake plate. Then top with some little vintage plastic cupcake toppers of your choice and top off with some powdered sugar to look like snow. Very pretty and a nice little dessert after that big Christmas dinner.
My Christmas Fantasy Cake
This was so much fun to make and assemble. I think that I was in something of a "Princess" mood when I came up with the idea. We had just spent Thanksgiving at Disney World in Orlando, hence, the whole "Princess" theme.
I ordered a bundt cake pan in the form of a Norwegian castle, while I also found some really nice horses pulling a carriage and what could be construed as 'bride and groom' figurines. There was no need to make up something from scratch for this, I just bought 2 Pound Cake mixes from the commissary for this. Two cake mixes are actually too much for the bundt pan but one cake mix was not enough.
I just needed something similar to a cake stand, but longer. Luckily Gordon found this lovely glass platter and bowl at a thrift store for less than $5.00. I wanted the cake elevated so I turned the bowl upside down and placed the platter on top.
Once the cake was made, it is just a simple pound cake that I made from a mix. I went about assembling the things that I would need. I'm using a sugar free vanilla, already prepared frosting to spread all over the plate to look like snow. Then a sprinkled coconut all over the snow just to enhance the look.
I then added my silver trees along with the coach and horses and the 'bride and groom'
OR in my case, the Prince and Princess.
Sprinkle with powered sugar and you get a lovely effect of freshly fallen snow. Serve on some pretty glass plates and if you have some nice wine glasses with snow flakes it will only enhance the mood.
Perfect Christmas Fantasy Cake, just for ME!
Same cake but this time I added some deer along with the trees.
Spiral Ham
Cooking the Ham
Cook the ham 15 min. per pound at 325'F. The glaze I used was a mixture of 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbsp apple cider, 1 Tbsp maraschino cherry juice, 1 Tbsp pineapple juice, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cardamon, 1/4 Tsp allspice, and 1/4 tsp ground ginger. Mix all the ingredients well and brush on the ham prior to cooking. I also like to place some within the ham slices.
Above is a good depiction of the bottom of the ham where you can see clear lines to cut the ham at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. Cutting along these lines saves time and makes the slices easy to separate.
Roasting Chestnuts and Homemade Cranberry Sauce
On the rounded side of the chestnut cut an X using a serrated knife. The cuts let steam out of the nut and allow you a place to start to peal the nut away from the shell.
Let the chestnuts soak in a pot of hot water for about 15 min.
Then pat them dry and bake them in a 350'F oven for 25-30 min. Peel them while still warm as the shells will be loose and pliable.
Homemade Cranberry Sauce
In a large pot place 2 bags of fresh cranberries along with 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar. You don't have to use this much sugar if you don't like it that sweet or if you use other sweeteners like honey, syrup, pineapple juice etc.
I then turn the mixture on to boil.
When boiling I then added 2 Tbsp honey, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cardamon, and fresh orange rind from 1 orange.
Cook this mixture at a boil until all the berries have popped. Using a splatter screen helps to lesson your cleanup. Once the berries have all popped, lower the temperature and cook until it is the consistency you desire.
TIP: If it cooks down too much, simply add more liquid like orange or pineapple juice. Water is also good.

These are delicious! Every year we have our Drunken Devils on Horseback which is now a must for our Christmas. Prunes soaked in Brandy overnight, then wrapped in bacon and placed in a 350* oven for 20 minutes or so. Perfect! Well, we decided to expand upon that and here we used fresh dates and figs, soaked in Brandy overnight, and then wrapped in bacon and placed into a 350* oven, same cooking time as above. We did use some feta and goat cheeses inside the dates for an added surprise. These are really good.
Baked Goat Cheeses
This is now my new favorite party appetizer for Christmas. As you can see it looks very Christmassy.
Here we took two types of Goat Cheese (herb and a honey) and cut it up into big chunks. Next sprinkle some red peppercorns all around, strew with fresh thyme and then drizzle some olive oil over the dish. Here we used basil oil. Then just bake in the oven for about 20 minutes on 350'F. The peppercorns get very soft. Just spread over crackers or a sliced bread or toast.
Really good!

Adepa, new dancehall and afro-pop queen unveiled
Afro-pop is gradually becoming the heartbeat of music in the country, with many artistes diverting into that music genre in recent years.
Ghana's afro-pop has given birth to a new act, known as "Adepa," in the music circles with her real name being Gloria Gyan.
She burst onto the music scene not long ago with her first single titled: "Condem" and gained recognition as a prodigy and has been touted to make waves in the near future.
In an interview, Adepa who signed onto the "1RMT" record label, is relishing taking dancehall and Afro-pop music to another level in the next coming years.
"I'm working towards my future of being one of the top superstars on the African continent.
"There are a couple of female artistes doing well in that space, but I am coming into the game with my own style," she said.
She added, "Ghanaians should expect something different and I urge all music loving fans to support me and I would make Ghana proud someday."
Adepa recently released her new single titled "Holiday".

Spending a long sunny day at a beautiful beach club is one of our favourite activities to do here in Phuket! After almost a year of living here and exploring, I have finally come up with my own list of the best beach clubs on the island.
As we are travelling as a family, I base my judgments on the comfort, safety and the quality of their services. We are people who like to sip cocktails by the pool, have a good meal, listen to some good music, and if we bring kids with us, then we want to feel welcome and safe.
There are ten great beach clubs in Phuket that we had a chance to visit and some of them are better than others for various reasons that you wouldn't realise if you were only here for a short time. I thought instead of making a short list of the top five, I would list all of them starting from our favourite ones moving down towards the least favourite places based on our experience. The reason why I want to list them all, is they all have something that might suit different types of travellers, so I didn't want to discriminate. I hope you find the right one for YOU. Let's get started.
Located on the beautiful Layan beach – Dream Beach Club is our number one venue to visit in Phuket. The place has everything you need for a great time with the family or a group of friends. What I like about the Dream as a venue is that it is very spacious and the pool is divided into two zones (one for adults and one for children). If you are coming here with little ones, then it is a guaranteed guilt-free time if you are coming during the day to enjoy some sun by the pool.
Dream Beach has got one of the best restaurants out of all beach clubs. Every dish is nicely presented and beautifully cooked. They are famous for their sangria and every time we have visited there has been a live DJ and his music choices have always been on point! Their beach is always clean and tidy, which is another crucial factor for me. Just recently Dream Beach Club launched a new party venue which works as a rooftop bar where they hold great parties hosted by international and local DJs. Check out their website to find out more information, and I will most likely see you there!
Catch Beach Club is probably the most famous and luxurious beach club on the island. Its situated on Bang Tao beach and offers an infinity edge pool and an open-air restaurant with the view. The place is trendy amongst expats and out-going locals.
Catch's pool area is quite secluded and not big which feels rather private and relaxing. KIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED in the pool, that's why this place would suit more for a romantic outing with your spouse or for a special celebration with a group of friends. The outstanding food menu and delicious Aperol would make an excellent companion for your getaway. If you are a lover of a good time with the high-quality service, then you should check them out.
3. Cafe Del Mar
Cafe Del Mar is famous around the world for its stylish designs and chilled vibes. The Phuket franchise not so long ago had moved to Kamala beach, so the venue is still beautiful and new. This beach club attracts different crowds but is still family-friendly, so don't hesitate to bring your kids along with you.
Cafe Del Mar is also famous for their all-day pool parties, so make sure you check out their event calendar before planning your visit. On a busy day, the pool can get quite crowded with people which only adds to the lively festive atmosphere of the place. I think its definitely a must visit spot in Phuket, so grab your most stylish bikini and a camera, as I'm sure you are going to snap some Insta-worthy pics!
Thai operated venue is a perfect getaway from the hectic life of the island. It's located on Bang Tao beach right by the water. This beach club doesn't have a pool which makes it a perfect brunch location with kids on a day when you don't want to get into any water activities. Even if you decide to swim in the sea, the venue has some comfy looking day beds and towels available for rent.
My favourite part about this place is location and its gorgeous views. Another great thing is that they have a nice outdoor playground for kids to play while you can enjoy your meal. The only downside for me is that their kitchen mostly offers Thai food and some basic finger food, which, I am not a big fan of. I prefer more European cuisine with some vegan options, but if you don't have any specific dietary requirements and enjoy Thai food, you would be able to find something you like.
Baba Beach Club is another luxury venue situated on Natai beach which is 20 minutes north of Phuket International Airport. This beach club is a part of the exclusive luxury beach club hotel & private residences, so when you entered the premises, the whole resort feels very secluded and quiet.
The pool and restaurant area are open to the public, so if you are feeling up to a little road trip outside Phuket, it would be worth a visit. From my experience, the place looks even better than what you see on their social media. It would make a great getaway location, but I don't think its that convenient for just a family day out.
Xana Beach Club is another pool venue on Bang Tao beach. Its situated right in front of Angsana Laguna Phuket which makes the place almost always busy. Their location makes it a popular choice for families that stay at the resort, which means the pool usually is always packed with kids.
The best part of this beach club is their infinity pool with some beautiful views, and on a good day, the place does look lovely! In my opinion, though, the place is a little overrated and doesn't justify their minimum spend price. It did feel like they need to step up in their cooking game and maintain the venue more often to give their clients that promised stylish experience.
If you are staying in Patong, then this beach club would be very convenient for you as its situated right in the hottest spot of Phuket island. Kudo is one of the most popular and trendy beach clubs in Phuket, all thanks to its location and a never-ending list of party events.
If you are a solo-traveller, young couple or you are travelling with a group of friends that like to have fun times at the beach, drinking cocktails and meeting new people then this destination is for you. I don't see Patong as a location suitable for a day out with my two-year-old, so that's why this beach club doesn't make it to the top of my favourite go-to places on the island.
8. M Beach Club
M Beach Club is the latest addition to the list of beach clubs in Phuket. Its located on Mai Khao beach which is the closest beach to the airport. I quite enjoyed their sophisticated yet straightforward venue and felt very welcomed by their stuff.
The place is very new, so they still have some bits and pieces to throw together. They don't have a pool, but if you fancy a swim in the Andaman sea, they offer outside shower and towels. Their table settings are, and the whole atmosphere is very relaxing. I especially liked it when they brought out our fruit shakes with paper straws, which tells me that the company is forward thinking and cares about the environment.
Coast Beach Club is a beautiful venue located on Karon beach and integral to the Centara Grand Beach Phuket. It wasn't that easy to find the place. You have to find the resort first and then walk to the beach club which makes it a bit confusing if you have never been there before.
Apart from the stunning setting, we didn't find it that special. I think its a similar situation, as with Xana and Baba Beach Clubs. From my experience, when beach clubs belong or a part of resorts, it lowers their attention to you as a client as they are not in need of new customers, which makes their service a lot less attentive and welcoming.
We still had a lovely sunny afternoon there, so if you are in that area, it would be worth going for a drink and check out the place for yourself.
Paradise beach club is situated about five kilometres southwest of Patong. The place is more like a secluded beach, and you have to pay a fee to enter. From what I can remember when you drive to the location you park your car and then with the rest of the crowd you have to wait for the taxi rickshaw to come and drive you down to the beach through a narrow winding road.
This location is famous for their open-aired parties and quite popular among young travellers. I have only ranked this last because of our particular tastes and needs with travelling with a young child, and I am sure that a young couple without kids would list it much higher.
There are a good variety of water activities and a couple of bar/restaurants available on the shore to keep you entertained, so if you are feeling adventurous, you might want to check it out.

Hey this is just a quick shout out to everyone that claims to be a music fan. You know where I will be on Monday night? Better be the same place you are--watching the CMT Music Awards like the dedicated music fans you/we claim to be.
The ATB (Aaron Traffas Band) is having a watch party for the CMT's. Aaron has rented the 6th Street Ballroom and a huge projection screen operation from New York so we can all see the glamour and glitz of some of America's best musicians.
I am bringing the food and when I say that I am bringing the food, I mean it! We are having Outback Steakhouse cater the event and everyone will be supplied with steak dinner, choice of potatoes, and all the fixings you would expect.
Mason is in charge of the free alcohol and evidently has rented a beer truck to carry the motherlode from Lawrence to Manhattan. Something about 45 kegs and more hard stuff than two liquor stores can hold.
Chuck is in charge of the ladies and he has promised several sororities worth to be headed down for the party. Can't wait to see that.
I am giddy with excitement for the party but the real show will be on the huge 75ft by 95 ft screen. It will be incredible to see Tim McGraw in larger than life. I bet we could even count his facial hair if the camera does a close up.
Oh and I am so excited for this year's host. Bring on the "you might be a redneck" jokes Mr. Foxworthy. I am voting Jeff Foxworthy for president of the USA as soon as I get a chance. Hail to the frickin chief of comedy to run the show.
Of course the ladies of country music will be looking large and in charge on Aaron's HUGE screen. Can't wait to see what Gretchen Wilson will be wearing. She rocks my world...little country girl. YEEEOOOWW!
Yeeehaaw til Monday
Only seven days late on April Fools...

Good morning, it's Monday, February 12, 2018 — the birthdate of perhaps our greatest president. "I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky," Abraham Lincoln wrote to Jesse W. Fell in December of 1859.
"My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families — second families, perhaps I should say," Lincoln continued. "My mother, who died in my tenth year, was of a family of the name of Hanks. My father at the death of his father, was but six years of age; and he grew up, literally without education. He removed from Kentucky to what is now Spencer County, Indiana, in my eighth year. … It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up."
Cut down by an assassin's bullet halfway through his presidency at age 56, Abe Lincoln did not live long enough to write his memoirs. Nor were U.S. presidents required to undergo the Gail Sheehy treatment before running for office, by which I mean that there is much we'll never know about Lincoln's inner life or his formative years on what was then the western frontier.
Lincoln wrote his letter at Jesse Fell's request because the presumptive Republican presidential nominee of 1860 needed a biography for party activists to circulate. Keenly aware of his humble origins and thin résumé, Lincoln prefaced his biographical precis with two brief notes, the first a bit of self-deprecation, the second a reminder that although Lincoln managed to be simultaneously humble and noble, he was also a politician:
"If anything be made out of it, I wish it to be modest, and not to go beyond the materials," he wrote to Fell. "If it were thought necessary to incorporate anything from any of my speeches, I suppose there would be no objection. Of course it must not appear to have been written by myself."
As for the self-deprecation, that was classic Lincoln: "Herewith is a little sketch, as you requested. There is not much of it, for the reason, I suppose, that there is not much of me."
But there was much of him indeed, and his fellow Americans still know it now and certainly knew it then. His 1860 election was much feared by Southerners, who it might be said all these years later were correct in their estimation of Abraham Lincoln's true grit.
Before he was martyred at Ford's Theater, the 16th president of the United States would preserve the Union, free the slaves, and set the bar so high for public virtue and presidential eloquence that his successors are mostly content to quote him rather than try and outdo him.
Happy Birthday, Abe!

The risk rises more than three times—and it's seven times more likely if you're given the medication intravenously.
Your risk of suffering a heart attack is higher when you have a cold or flu anyway—but taking an NSAID (non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug) to relieve symptoms raises the risk again. The painkillers are some of the most commonly used on the market, and include aspirin and ibuprofen, which can be purchased without a prescription.
Researchers reckon the drugs increase the chances of a heart attack 3.4 times, and the risk is even higher—at 7.2 times—if the drug is given intravenously. On its own, having a cold raises the risk of a heart attack 2.7 times.
Researchers from the National Taiwan University Hospital looked at the records of 10,000 heart patients to assess if the common cold and the NSAIDs increase the risk of a heart attack.
People should be aware of the impact that NSAIDs have on heart attack risk, and should stop taking the painkillers when they have a cold or flu, the researchers say.

Map provides a synthesis of results from computer simulations and climatic data that were used to analyze ocean routes across the Pacific Ocean showing viable ocean crossings, weather patterns, seasonal variations and other factors in Remote Oceania.

Fitzpatrick and his team, which includes Ohio State University geographer Alvaro Montenegro and University of Calgary archaeologist Richard Callaghan, offer some potential answers in a paper published Oct. 24 in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The paper, "Using Seafaring Simulations and 'Shortest Hop' Trajectories to Model the Prehistoric Colonization of Remote Oceania," details the team's use of computer simulations and climatic data to analyze ocean routes across the Pacific. The simulations take into account high-resolution data for winds, ocean currents, land distribution and precipitation.

Fitzpatrick and his colleagues used their simulations to identify most likely ports of departure for the settlers of five major regions in Remote Oceania. To account for course variations due to wind and currents, the team created shortest-hop trajectories to assess the likely paths of least resistance. This technique factors in the role that distance and remoteness may have played in facilitating voyaging from one island to another and can include changes in sea level at different points in time that may have made these trips easier or harder.
The research team's simulations include El Nino Southern Oscillation patterns, which settlers most likely knew about and used to their advantage, Fitzpatrick said. Archaeological records reflect El Nino occurrences, which typically happen every three to seven years and can be seen in evidence marking droughts and fires. Because winds and associated precipitation shift from westerly to easterly during El Nino years, settlers would have found travel toward Remote Oceania more favorable when the pattern was occurring and may have timed their departures accordingly.
"What Pacific scholars have long surmised but never really been able to establish very well is that, through time, Pacific Islanders should have developed a great deal of knowledge of different climactic variations, different oscillations of wind and changes in environments that would have influenced their survivability and their abilities to go to certain places," Fitzpatrick said.

The three team members brought complementary expertise to the study. Fitzpatrick contributed his knowledge of the archaeology of island and coastal regions in the Pacific and the Caribbean. Montenegro, the paper's lead author, is a geographer and climatologist. Callaghan is an archaeologist specializing in seafaring simulations.
A question that may never be resolved is why seafaring settlers traveled such immense distances. Although evidence exists that some settlers were motivated by a desire to obtain new resources such as basalt or obsidian for making stone tools, Fitzpatrick said, there's no easy way to explain the leap of faith it would take to set off on a colonizing mission of 400 to 2,500 miles.
"What drove the movement? That's the big question," he said. "Was it political? Was it a result of population pressure? There were probably multiple reasons why people decided to leave one place and go to another."

IRC responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.
Kagadi - The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Kagadi district is to establish Ebola screening points at points of entry into the country, on shores of Lake Albert.
IRC responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.
Dr Herbert Muhumuza, the Health Coordinator IRC, told New Vision that this is a high-risk area which has direct linkages with Ebola-stricken DRC because of the daily cross border movements on Lake Albert.
Over 5-8 boats cross from both countries on a daily basis with an estimated 300 people.
"These people have relatives on either side and even transact business together across the borders so it's a high-risk area which must be handled with care to avoid the spilling over of Ebola into Uganda," said Muhumuza.
He said that IRC will go ahead to provide equipment that will be used at the screening points and will be available until March 2020 with support from ECHO (European Union Commission).
Silvano Thembo said that at points of entry the district will provide health workers who will be trained on how to assess persons and will be obliged to report on how many people have been screened periodically.
He said that in case of any suspected Ebola case, the district should ensure that the person is transported to the Ebola Treatment Unit at Kagadi Hospital.
Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI), as an implementing partner in the district, have been providing vehicles to enable the district Ebola task force go to hard-to-reach areas down the escarpment.
The screening points shall be established at landing sites on Lake Albert including Kabukanga, Kitebere, Kamina and any other as the need arises.
Emmanuel Ainebyoona, the Public Relations Officer in the Ministry of Health said, "We welcome such an intervention because it strengthens our fight against Ebola and as a country, we shall cooperate with IRC."
The IRC has been working in the DRC since 1996, responding to humanitarian crises.
The development follows the increased Ebola cases of over 1336 victims with 870 death rates in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The DRC is the epicentre of the current Ebola outbreak close to the Ugandan border. In the West, Kagadi district is one of many districts identified and at risk. This prompted the Ministry of Health to release 140M shillings to help in the prevention exercise.
According to District Health Officer Kagadi, Dr James Olowo, health workers have been trained to manage any emergencies and added that the health department is on high alert.
Dr Isaiah Musinguzi, the Emergency Health Officer working with UNICEF said, they have provided a consultant who is stationed in Kyegegwa, overseeing Kagadi, Kyenjojo and Kyegegwa districts.
The external Situation Report 38 of 24th April 2019, indicates that documented transmission in the DRC, however, remains geographically confined, with the majority of recent cases being reported from hotspot areas within Katwa, Vuhovi, Butembo, Mandima, and Beni health zones.
During the last 21 days, a total of 253 confirmed cases and no probable cases were reported in Katwa Vuhovi, Butembo, Mandima, Beni, Mabalako, Kalunguta, Masereka, Musienene, Oicha and Kyondo.
During this period, 59 health areas in 11 health zones reported new cases; 41% of the 145 health areas have been affected to date.
As of 22 April 2019, a total of 1353 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) cases, including 1287 confirmed and 66 probable cases, were reported. A total of 880 deaths were reported (overall case fatality ratio 65%), including 814 deaths among confirmed cases.
Of the 1353 cases, 56% were female, and 28% were children under 18 years. The number of healthcare workers affected remains 90, including
33 deaths.

Overview: Seemingly many people in Calgary want ride-sharing apps available and believe that taxi/sedan companies are contesting the business solely because they don't want additional competition. The truth of the matter is, that competition is welcome in the industry as long as they all compete on a level playing field. There is currently a debate about ride-sharing apps like Uber being allowed to operate in Calgary. Multiple issues are at play like apprehension from taxi companies, insurance liabilities and safety. Read the following blog to get updated on this industry in Calgary.
The Driver
Calgary's Livery Transport Services main concern with ride-sharing apps is passenger safety. The Livery Transport Services have strict regulations for every driver that wants to obtain a proper license to operate a car-service vehicle. Drivers at National Limo have to pass a variety of tests put in place by the Alberta Ministry of Transportation (obtained at registries). Then they have to meet all the requirements of the Livery Transportation Services to get a limousine license. National Limo then implements their own high standards for employment, where drivers will undergo background checks, tests on city knowledge and extensive training. Companies like National Limo ensure that the driver of the Sedan-Service operates safely and professionally. Ride-sharing apps are far behind when it comes to this extensive process and if they begin to operate in Calgary their drivers need to be regulated and have some kind of monitoring.
The Vehicle
When an executive is picked up in a vehicle and taken to their destination, they can be confident knowing that National Limo will be transport them in a safe and clean town car. Just like the driver needs to meet specific requirements, the vehicle involved needs to meet a certain level of standard as well. Companies like National Limo have regular routine maintenance on their entire fleet and drivers have to adhere to checklists and policies before even starting the vehicle. The emphasis that National Limo places on there limousine and sedan fleet, ensures that you are picked up in a safe running vehicle. Although some ride-sharing vehicles are probably very nice, as a professional, it might seem odd arriving at a business lunch in an inappropriate car.
A client will never have a limousine driver show up at their place of business with a vehicle that is under-insured. As the mayor stated, aspiring ride-sharing apps need to play by the city rules. The Insurance Bureau of Canada has made it very clear that any ride-sharing driver's personal car insurance does not cover them or their passengers in a case of injury or accident; they need to have commercial insurance coverage. Commercial insurance coverage can be three-four times greater than private car insurance. Last year Uber, through another company conducted a trial of their service. A report revealed that although the demand was high, there were unlicensed drivers and unlicensed vehicles that were used in transportation, which essentially put passengers in a dangerous situation.
Bottom Line: The debate for ride-sharing apps is not about excluding them from operating in Calgary, at the very least it's about them adhering to the minimum standard set by the city for the industry. Companies like National Limo have exceeded those standards and for that reason continuously retained over 95% of their clientele. National Limo's clients can be sure to have a professional driver pick them up in a safe running fully insured sedan and not a driver in a Metallica t-shirt with an under-insured vehicle.
If you need a Sedan Service in and around Calgary, contact National Limousine today at 403-512-8751 or toll free at 1-866-512-8751.

Dermal fillers, are made of a substance that occurs naturally in the human body called Hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the skin, which gives the skin its elasticity and tone by attracting and attaching to water molecules. As we age, our skin produces less HA which causes it to lose its elasticity, become more dry and more prone to forming wrinkles.
How does it work?
When will the treatment start to take effect?
How long does it last?
What does the treatment involve?
The treatment itself can take between 20-30 minutes depending on how many areas are being treated. The filler is injected into the skin using a fine needle or cannula and the area massaged to give a smooth finish. You may experience some discomfort during the procedure however there is some anaesthetic in each syringe of filler and an anaesthetic cream will also be applied to the areas to be injected for that extra comfort.
Is the treatment safe?
As with any injectable procedure, they are medical procedures so it is important to choose a skilled medical professional who is experienced, has a good knowledge of the anatomy of the areas to be injected and also has an artistic eye. In order to best serve our patient's needs and ensure their safety, our injectable treatments are performed only by doctors. Dr Simi's surgical training, her experience as an anatomy teacher and 12 years medical experience make her ideal to provide you these treatments safely.
What are the side effects?
Are these treatments suitable for me?

At first glance this shrine looks much the same as any other. Once inside the gate I could see a small white washed cave ( grotto ). Inside it is completely covered in dilapidated statues, Rosary beads, messages, holy photographs, holy water bottles, decaying flowers, mass cards, scarves, handkerchiefs, prosthetics and photos of loved ones. At the back is the Holy well dedicated to Saint Brigid . The pub is next door with a beer garden in the cemetery .

Common Mistakes People Make When Selecting A Suburb – 6 Ways To Avoid Choosing A Property In The Wrong Area
With so much information out there, and so many suburbs to choose from, where do you start and how do you choose the right suburb to meet your investment needs?
In todays article we look at 6 common mistakes people make when selecting a suburb and doing their research into an area for a new investment:
Looking to buy an investment property in the next 12 months? Learn more about how we can help you here…
Looking for a "Hot Spot"
The problem with buying in the latest "hot" spot is the suburb has already boomed.
When collecting your suburb data you need to be wary of the research you're doing.
You want to be at the potential for future growth in the suburb and the future potential of the property.
It's important to avoid targeting areas that have grown dramatically in the past 1 – 5 years, as these suburbs may have already achieved their growth potential.
Information Hoarders
Have you ever heard of the saying information overload?
Do you know people at work who are obsessed with information but never actually do anything with it?
There are a lot of people out there offering advice on different ways to invest.
Some say you should be looking for cash flow positive properties while others say you should be buying for capital growth? Should you build a brand new property or sub-divide an existing block? Is there potential for secondary dwelling? Should you invest in an apartment?
With so much conflicting information out there investing in property can be overwhelming.
The key is to not get distracted by the white noise out there, and only collect information that is going to be helpful to YOU and your INVESTMENT NEEDS.
When it comes to collecting information for suburb analysis, you need to try and narrow down what is important to you, and only find information that is relevant to those goals.
Not Understanding the Data You've Collected
Another common mistake that people make when selecting a suburb is they don't understand what data to collect or how to interpret it.
Having information you don't understand is almost as useless as having no information at all. It is important you use the right tools to make sense of all the suburb data you are collecting.
For Example:
It's all well and good to know that you need to look at vacancy rate and rental yield data, but you need to know why this information is important to you as an investor.
Take a look at an article we recently wrote here titled 15 Free Online Tools To Improve Your Property Investment Research.
Not Comparing A Number Of Markets
It is vital when collecting suburb data that you compare multiple markets. A common mistake people make is they become emotionally attached to a suburb and want to find their dream investment in that one particular area.
The difference between buying an investment property and buying a property you're going to live in, is the numbers.
To ensure you take the risk out of investing in a dud suburb, you need to compare markets. Look at the performance of surrounding suburbs, and trends in other capital cities for similar areas. For example, if you were interested in investing in Wynnum West in Brisbane, it would be a smart idea to compare suburbs less than 15 kilometers from a capital city, and less than 5 kilometres from the ocean, in other states. You also need to compare the suburb with surrounding areas and look at the past performance of nearby housing markets.
Too Risk Adverse
Unfortunately some investors can be their own worst enemy and use one red flag as an excuse to not move forward with an investment.
Being risk adverse is a great character trait in a property investor, however, being too fearful will leave you regretting poor decisions and missing out on amazing opportunities.
People Who Want It All
On the opposite end of the spectrum to the risk adverse investor, is the greedy investor. There are a lot of people who want it all, they want the 10% rental yield, with the 20% capital growth, in the suburb with the best school and the potential to subdivide in the future.
We are not saying numbers like these can't be achieved, but from our experiences if it sounds to good to be true it generally is.
By doing relevant suburb analysis, and combining that research with the goals you hope to achieve from your investment property, you will find the right data & information you need to make the right decision.
It is important to do comprehensive suburb analysis, and ensure that the analysis matches up with your needs. Use the right tools and collect information from suitable sources and you will avoid making the 6 common mistakes investors make.

to me
Dear FS,
I am writing you on behalf of my parents as they have asked me to do so. My father is 87 years old and my mother is 76 years old. They both are down physically with many diseases immensely. It is God's wish that they are still with me and I am grateful to God for that.
You picture stream on Ajmer Sharif Urs 2012 has bought tears of joy to their eyes. Due to your vivid coverage they are assuming that they are in Ajmer and can see the Khawaja Baba. They are not computer literate; so I am helping them to see your work.
I am speechless. You truly have a special aura in your work.
Fond regards.
Kaushik Dutta
Dedicated to your parents in sheer humility .. I touch their feet and wish them a very long life ..through the blessings of Khwajah Garib Nawaz Moinuddin Chishty Al Sabri..
Yeh Toh Khwajah Ka Karam HAI..
The Niyaz For Khwajah Garib Nawaz Moinuddin Chishty By The Delhi Hijras
The Niyaz For Khwajah Garib Nawaz Moinuddin Chishty By The Delhi Hijras, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
This was a long series I shot and Khadim Sab recited prayers and this ritual is an integral part of Niyaz humble offerings to the Holy Sainto Of Ajmer fondly known as Khwajah Garib Nawaz..
I have opened this image for public view because I had promised Khadim sab of the same , and all this promotes a message of peace ..whatever your caste color or religiosity does not matter.
After the hijra Nayaks and Gurus had tasted the Niyaz , it was offered to the public too , rice and meat or pilav and sweet rice known as zarda.
Kamini hijra was playing host and so many other beautiful hijras that graced the occasion, both Marc Malang I were shooting the Niyaz , we both sat down tasted the Niyaz .
Last year I shot the Niyaz by the Mumbai hijras at Moti Katla and Taragadh..
Last I also shot the Niyaz of the Jammu Kashmir khusras as the hijras are called and met Sara Haji the head of the hijras , she had invited me for Moharam Ashura but I could not make it as I had visiting photographers from Denmark Kim and Viola and Dr Glenn Losack my best best friend from Manhattan New York.
The Hijras spend lavishly feeding the poor at Urus time they clothe the poor give money to kids to complete their education..for the Hijras of the East West and North India Ajmer Urus is the biggest event of their lives , as they consider Khajah Garib Nawaz their Protector , he shields them from MIsfortune and makes them rich , the money they earn they come do charity.
And he gives them more than what they spend on the poor the needy the homeless.
Had my pictures not been stolen by Flickr theives you would have seen the entire sequence of my documentation of the Hijras of India at Ajmer Urus over the years.
Till Flickr developer dudes upgrade the faulty Spaceball tool that is supposed to safeguard our pictures I wont be showing it to the general public.

The Hijras of India at Ajmer
The Hijras of India at Ajmer, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
This and a huge lot of hijra pictures I shot at Moti Katla , and both me and my Peer brother Marc Malang shot the androgynous soul of mankind.
And shooting the hijras is capturing the fleeting soul of pain in aborted flight.
I shot the pain on the streets and in the hijra abode I misses SaraHaji Khusta from Jammu I missed her eunuch wards and I missed Heena Simran and many known faces .
I missed Babita Gopal Haji and Nandini the hijra child.
I shot Raveena Naina Laxmi Narayan Tripathi and the hijras of Delhi dancing with the Sandal .
I shot the Delhi hijra niyaz.
I shot hijras in the trains chelas of Ma Madhurima.
I could have shot a lot more of the hijras but I shot at will and shot selectively.. and I am shooting beggar hijras at Turner Road Bandra on my return from Ajmer.
I shot Mona the child eunuch , she has grown into a tom boy , net savvy and guru of Raveena hijra who now calls herself Kareena.
I shot Priti Hijra from Kolkatta..
And I was destined to shoot hijras .. a few pictures I shall reveal to public view but the rest can be viewed by my closest friends at Flickr.com.

Am I in good hands with Fairfield Dental Clinic?
I am new to VIC and havent visited a dentist yet but now I need to go.
So i'm just asking this question to hear if anyone from VIC or the area has any experience with Fairfield Dental Clinic
I need to get a rootcanal done but i'm very scared i how it will look.
So a few questions:
- How long has it been around?
- How many people work there?
- Are there procedures i should do somewhere else?
- Could Sale Family Dentist be a better choice?
I once heard about another patient (from another place) that ended up having to get this procedure redone several times over but let me clarify, that was NOT from Fairfield Dental Clinic.
Thank you all for reading, hoping to get some feedback

Spectrevision Ventures into Video Games
Spectrevision is a film production company centered on Horror, Thriller specific genres. Actor; Elijah Wood and directors; Daniel Noah and Josh C. Waller spearhead the company. Spectrevision's recent release is the supernatural Horror film; "The Boy". In 2015 the company released "Cooties and in 2014 "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night". Both films were well received in Film festival circuits.
Ubisoft Montreal, is a subsidiary of France based video game development company, Ubisoft. The company is synonymous among the gaming community for its high profile releases. The Tom Clancy franchises, "Assassin's Creed", "Far Cry" and "Prince of Persia" are part of Ubisoft's diverse product slate.
What do these two companies have in common? The answer is; Virtural Reality content. Lisa Whalen, CEO of SpectreVision announced the SpectreVision / Ubisoft Montreal partnership. In her reveal at the Sundance Film Festival Lisa Whalen stated:
"…create, develop and produce interactive virtual reality content…"We're thrilled to partner with an industry leader like Ubisoft to explore the innovative and burgeoning technology that is virtual reality,"
"…The diversity of Ubisoft's portfolio of titles, from Assassin's Creed to Zombi, makes for an ideal partnership with SpectreVision's varied creative vision, as evidenced in films such as A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night and Cooties. Together, we can tell an infinite number of unique stories in a bold and original new format."
"…As a longtime gamer, I'm first and foremost a fan and admirer of Ubisoft," said Wood, "so to be collaborating with them within the realm of VR is an incredible treat."
This is great news for the gaming community and film production as a whole. VR content is still in its infancy and continues to develop at a rapid pace. The platform serves as a perfect medium to develop and release captivating Horror content. The partnership will open the door to unique Horror driven content. Imagine the possibilities these two companies can bring to transform the Horror genre itself.

A group of City investors with assets worth more than £180bn has written to listed firms including Vodafone, Balfour Beatty and Severn Trent urging them to pay all employees a living wage.
The chief executives of the utilities firms Severn Trent and United Utilities, homeware retailer Dunelm Group and telecoms firm Vodafone have received letters saying that paying the living wage to all staff and key contractors is the hallmark of a responsible business.
Signatories to the letters, coordinated by the Share Action campaign group, include the Strathclyde Pension Fund, which is run by Glasgow city council, Hermes Investment Management and Nest, the state-backed workplace pension scheme.
The investors have also targeted construction firms, which are "particularly vulnerable to precarious work and low pay", Share Action said. Along with Balfour Beatty, the chief executives of Bellway, Bovis Homes and Crest Nicholson have received the letters.
Only 37 of the firms in the FTSE 100 are living wage-accredited employers, while the number of Britons earning less than the living wage has risen to around 6 million people, according to the Living Wage Foundation, which sets the voluntary pay benchmark.
The living wage of £9 an hour – or £10.55 in London – is higher than the £7.83 national living wage, the legal minimum set by the government for workers aged 25 and over. The national living wage is due to rise to £8.21 in April.
Tess Lanning, the director of the Living Wage Foundation, said: "These are some of the UK's most successful businesses and yet many are paying their security and cleaning staff too little to live on."
Severn Trent and Crest Nicholson said they pay the living wage to direct employees who are not on a training rate. United Utilities said it paid the living wage to all employees and was in dialogue with the Living Wage Foundation. Dunelm said it paid employees competitive rates, which are benchmarked against the wider industry.

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder among adults. The percentage of women affected by insomnia in pregnancy is startling. According to the National Sleep Foundation, approximately 78% of women reported an increase in the frequency of disturbed sleep during pregnancy than at other times.
The quality and the quantity of sleep gradually decreases, starting from the first trimester onwards. A recent study led by the University of Granada showed that 44% of women have insomnia in the first trimester, which increases to about 46% in the second and eventually increases to a high percentage of 64% by the third trimester.
What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that occurs when a person cannot sleep or finds it difficult to stay asleep. It can be due to many reasons such as depression, anxiety disorders, side-effects of some medicines, or due to specific personal issues.
Pregnant women can experience insomnia during all stages of pregnancy, but it is most extreme in the first and third trimesters. The good news here is that insomnia in pregnancy is not harmful to the baby.
What causes Insomnia in Pregnancy?
Insomnia in pregnancy can be caused by various behavioral and physical or psychological factors. Some causes are:
- Hormonal changes
The level of progesterone increases during the first trimester. This can lead to a feeling of excessive sleepiness during the day. Changes in hormone levels can have an inhibitory effect on the body's muscles, which can cause sleep apnea in obese women. It can also cause snoring and frequent bathroom trips at night.
- Emotional response
Most women also undergo emotional stress and anxiety thinking of the baby's delivery, labor pain, changing environmental conditions, and so on. These emotions could trigger a sense of restlessness and uneasiness, especially at night.
- Body pain
Pregnancy demands a lot from a woman's body. It can be difficult to sleep with such a big baby bump and sometimes back pain. Experiencing severe abdominal cramps, feeling nauseous, and vomiting are some of the common causes of sleepless nights during pregnancy.
There are also many other causes that can vary from one woman to another, depending on the stage of pregnancy, the number of past pregnancies, etc.
Consequences of Insomnia in Pregnancy
A pregnant woman who is not getting enough sleep is exposed to a number of health risks in the near future. There is an increased association of insomnia in pregnancy with higher risks of cardiovascular diseases.
Not sleeping for the required number of hours or continuous nights of poor quality sleep may induce depression, anxiety, and other mental problems in the mother.
Studies have shown that poor sleep during pregnancy has been associated with longer labor pain and can even affect the woman's ability to cope with labor pain.
Women with sleep deprivation are also 4.5 times more likely to undergo cesarean section and are at a higher risk of preterm deliveries. Insomnia can also cause gastrointestinal problems in women.
There is no full-proof treatment for insomnia in pregnancy. Women should learn to overcome insomnia through certain lifestyle changes.
It is not at all recommended to take drugs when you are pregnant. It can cause harm to the developing fetus. Most drugs normally used for insomnia is known to cause health risks to the fetus.
Restless Leg syndrome is also a common cause of insomnia in pregnancy. It usually occurs in women with low levels of dietary iron. This should be taken care of prior to pregnancy. Iron supplements should be taken before pregnancy in order to avoid complications later.
In the case of overweight and obese women who suffer from breathing problems, CPAP ( Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is an effective way to tackle sleep apnea.
Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a commonly used treatment for insomnia with no side-effects.
How to cope with Insomnia in Pregnancy?
The best way to cope up with is by doing the following.
- Maintain a bedtime routine
Developing a good bedtime habit will reduce insomnia. Maintain a particular time every day for bedtime and avoid any distractions, such as the use of phones or laptops before sleeping.
- Exercise
Many women believe that physical activity can harm their baby and is hesitant to do any physical work at home. However, it should be noted that physical activity can be beneficial for both the mother and the baby.
It is recommended to consult a doctor first before deciding to exercise. Exercising for even 30 minutes a day can do wonders to your body. Staying active during the day will help you sleep better at night.
- Eat and drink healthy
Try to eat foods rich in protein and avoid fatty foods. Don't keep your stomach empty and try to eat light snacks at regular intervals.
Drink as much water as you can during the day, but avoid drinking too much before bedtime.
Drinking a glass of warm milk before bedtime can also help you sleep well.
- New sleep positions
It can be challenging to sleep in one position every day. Try out new sleep positions frequently. It is advised to sleep on your life side to allow the proper flow of blood and nutrients to the fetus. Avoid sleeping on your back for long periods.
- Don't over think
Worrying too much will not help you or the baby. It is best not to over think but instead keep a clear head.
- Reduce daytime naps as it may become difficult to sleep better at night.
- If you cannot sleep, get up and distract yourself by reading a book.
Monitoring your sleep during pregnancies is as important as regular pregnancy checkups. The burden of insomnia in pregnant women is increasing because of the changing lifestyles and modern livelihood. The problem of sleep deprivation among pregnant women should be given more importance in terms of research and studies.
Insomnia can be easily tackled if you can change certain habits and is more aware of its causes and effects. Take the help of your family members and doctors in order to overcome this problem.

While at one time it was suggested that the rise of online casinos might lead to the death of land-based ones, in fact all it seems to have done is increased the section of the populace interested in playing casino games.
The result of this is that people are viewing vacations as an opportunity to visit some of the best casinos around the world, and resorts offering these are now holiday hot spots. Of course one of the top ones will always be Las Vegas, as this is one of the gaming centres of the world and boasts stunning casinos like the MGM Grand and the Bellagio, but it is far from the only casino vacation option you have.
Indeed just within the United States there are plenty of other great places to spend a gambling holiday, from the unofficial 'rival' to Vegas – Reno – to New Orleans and Connecticut. Yes, you heard that right: Connecticut. This is not somewhere many traditionally associate with the thrills of all night casino games, but nowadays it is home to two of the best casinos in America.
If you want size, the Foxwoods establishment is the largest in the world, while if you want style and class, the Mohegan Sun Casino will deliver amply on both counts. If you aren't planning on spending 100% of your time in these casinos though, it might be an idea to save travelling costs and play online blackjack, as Connecticut really doesn't have much else to offer.
New Orleans in Louisiana is another great option for those looking for alternatives to Las Vegas within America and – unlike Connecticut – choosing New Orleans for your casino vacation will ensure that you also get to experience other entertainment options, like music, as well. Indeed most probably still associate New Orleans more with music, but vacationers there have the option of gambling on one of the casino riverboats, which cruise down the Mississippi. Thus you get to play all the casino games you want, with a side order of romance that is unique to this particular locale, and there is a dash of this in the hearts of most amateur gamblers.
