I originally started journaling about Max on a different website, and I don't want to lose track of them, so I'm going to copy and paste them here:
Our little man is growing up so fast!! He's eating about 40 oz. of formula per day AND about a cup of cereal, a 1/2 c. of fruit and 1/2 c. of veggies. Veggies seem to be his favorite – with sweet potatoes ranking at the top of the list. Peaches and bananas are definitely his least favorite. He's still getting up through the night but his pediatrician suggested (if we can stomach it) no longer feeding him through the night, and that after about a week, he'll get used to it. He promised that allowing Max to "cry it out" would not result in years of therapy for him in the future (he didn't mention whether we'd need help!) He's also sitting in his bigboy highchair now…and I think that next time we go out to eat, he'll be able to sit in a highchair. He sat in his first grocery cart about a week ago, and thought that was the greatest thing ever….of course, he tried to put everything, including the grocery cart, in his mouth!
Dr. Tyler was also impressed that Max has been sitting up on his own for almost a month – he said that it's typically something most babies are doing at closer to 7 months of age. Max is taking baths in the big bathtub…I told Bryan that our house has been 100% baby-fied now that there are rubber baby toys in the master bedroom spa-tub. He's REALLY into his feet right now…who needs toys when we have feet…The doctor also said we could start Max on stage 2 foods, and that he's at the height of his formula consumption, so yay for that!!
Max has gained about 3 pounds (19.3 now) and 3″ – a little over 27″ now….his head circumfrence is ranking in the 90th percentile! I think that came from his father…along with his stubborness. So, it's almost time to get a new carseat…a forward facing one, so I don't have to sit on the dashboard anymore :). He had to get 4 shots…but only cried for about 30 seconds, until I picked him up…thankfully (for me or him??) no more shots for 3 months.
I'm hoping to do a better job at keeping track of his changes. I just can't pull myself away from him long enough to get to the computer very often. I'm sure I'll be back to chat about the ongoing drama with his sleep at night. The doctor did say we're are doing everything right…now I just need some earplugs so we can get through the next couple nights….it just breaks my heart when he cries, because I know he's waiting for us to come save him. As I told Bryan, if not sleeping through the night is the worst thing he does right now, we're very lucky, because we've been blessed with a beautiful, healthy, and very happy little boy….with gorgeous blue eyes!
So tonight will be night 3 of our "sleep through the night" extravaganza….the first night went pretty well–he was up from about 2:30am-3:30am, crying the whole time…I was in his room with him, trying to make sure he didn't do anything drastic :)… and then he slept until about 7:30am, which is pretty late for him.
Yesterday, we took him to Easton and got him a more streamlined stroller for walks around town….so I can get him back up the hill in one piece. We went to lunch and he sat in a highchair for the first time in a restaurant…he did very well and enjoyed watching everyone. Last night he fell asleep around 7:30, but was awake around 9ish and was very, very unhappy….so I crumbled (slightly) and rocked him back to sleep….but no bottle, just some water. He woke up again at 4am, and I got him up and gave him a bottle, which he finished off quickly, and he slept with me on the couch for a couple hours. Today we took him grocery shopping and let him sit in the cart—he loves looking at everyone and everything, he's becoming a little shy though.
Nice weekend with the little man…here's hoping for a better night's sleep!
So I guess sleeping went a little better last night…he made it from about 7:30pm to 2am without waking up, and then he was pretty unhappy, so I rocked him for about an hour and gave him some water…and he slept from about 3 to 5:30am. He tried apples with blueberries last night and was not impressed. He gobbled down his usual oatmeal concoction (baby oatmeal, organic sugarless applesauce and formula…yummy yummy), but wouldn't eat more than a couple bites of the apple blueberry stuff. I tried to add it into his oatmeal this morning, and he completely snubbed it…it was a pretty bluish purple color :). My mom raved about the joys of teething biscuits…so we got him some….wow, what a mess…I had to change him and myself after about 10 minutes…and it didn't even look like he had touched the thing. You'd think after 30 years, they'd improve on this…they have wipe warmers and the diaper genie and epiderals (thank god!) and strollers nicer than my car…but can't make a less messy teething biscuit.
This morning, I laid him on his tummy, he's doing an amazing job at pushing himself up with his arms, but still hasn't figured out his back end so well. He's starting to boost his bottom off the floor, but hasn't gotten further than that. I'm really not wanting him to crawl yet, our house isn't ready for a mobile human vacuum….
Tomorrow is Bryan and my 2 year wedding anniversary….how the time has flown!! And how happy and blessed we are to have the life that we do! My mom sent us a humorous anniversary card that made sounds of a cruise ship….Max immediately found it to be very tasty and was quite upset when we wouldn't let him chew on it any more. We're starting to try to teach him the value of "no"….although I'm not sure whether it's a concept a 6 month old can grasp, I thought we should at least start trying to be consistent with him. Bryan and I've also made a pact to stop telling him that he's "rotten" and a "stinker" (because he just looks like he can stir up all kinds of trouble in the near future) because I decided that once he understands what we're saying, he'll try to live up to the names. So, his new nicknames are "fuzz" (for his hair) and "angel".
Well, the fuzzy angel is waking up from his mid-morning nap…I think we're going to try peas for the first time at lunch today!
It wasn't supposed to start snowing until later this afternoon, but we already have about 3 inches and are under a level 1 snow emergency. But, we have plenty of food…at least plenty of food for Max, so it's fine with me!
I'm watching Nolan today, and poor little guy has an ear infection…he's probably asked me where his mom is at least 143 times…and that's a low estimate. Hopefully, she can make it through the snow to get him….because we don't have plenty of food for a 2 year old!
Squash…Max finally ate more than a bite of the kind my mom made for him – some how he can tell the difference between home-made and store-bought. But today, I strained all of the chunks out (and made quite a mess doing it!!!) and he ate a big bowl of it!!! I'm so happy because it's so much less expensive than the store stuff…and I'm sure it's better for him too. Hopefully, he keeps it up, his tastes seem to change daily. Right now, all he'll eat is squash, sweet potatoes, green beans (sorta??) and pears. I feel bad giving him the same thing all the time (you know, since he's had formula for the first 6 months of his life)…but when I try to get crazy and mix things together for him…he won't eat it and I have to waste food. He won't eat cereal lately, I'm hoping that doesn't last!!
Last week, Max was trying to gnaw on my fingers, and I felt his first tooth coming in!!! I couldn't believe it, as most people I've spoken with have said that their baby's teeth didn't start coming in until 9 months. But sure enough, his 2 bottom teeth are coming in, and you can see them both now. Our little man is handling it much better than I am…I've had to hold back tears a couple times. Everyone tells you how fast they grow up, and I'm finding that to be SOOO true. Sometimes, I wish I could just pause time for a little while and enjoy him as he is now. But Mighty Max is not to be stopped, he's eating MORE than ever, and is really getting better about sleeping at night….it seems like he sleeps through the night about 3 or 4 times a week.
We signed him up for swimming classes last week…I explained to him that the fact that I'm willing to get in a swimsuit at all, let alone in the middle of February, is a sure sign that he has me wrapped around his little finger. I'm hoping he enjoys it as much as he seems to enjoy "swimming" in the bathtub.
I'm so ready for spring, so Max and I can get outside…he really seemed to enjoy being outside in the Fall. We have at least a foot of snow on the ground, are supposed to get another 6-8″ today…and another snowstorm is forecasted for this weekend. I don't know how much more of this we or our house can take!!
Well, that's our big news for today…
Due to the snow, Bryan had to stay in Columbus last night, so I was playing around on the internet and came across Cora's Story and was so touched by Cora's mom and how she had turned such a tragedy into a legacy for her daughter. Her letters to her daughter are written so beautifully and are a great discription of the love a mom feels for her child. Like she mentions, it's a feeling that words simply can not justify. Daily, I realize how very, very, very blessed we are to have Max…so healthy and happy…and think of how easily he could be taken from us. I must spend hours throughout the day just staring at him and thinking about what a miracle and a gift he is to us (even as he sits in his "sassy swing" and is spitting at me!).
I just want more than anything in the world to be the best mom for him I can be…to teach him all the right lessons at the right time, to teach compassion and love and the importance of giving to others. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a good enough person to even be capable of being the mom he deserves. He deserves the best of everything…I just hope I have what it takes to give it to him.
Something that Cora's mom inspired me to do is to start a journal for Max, that he can read one day if he'd like to…so hopefully, he can see that Bryan and I are just people trying the hardest we can to be the best parents to him possible….but that we make mistakes and have doubts and second-guess our decisions. I think that sometimes "moms" and "dads" are held to a standard like "doctors" and "lawyers" of being super-human…and as my sister (who happens to be a doctor) mentioned to me this weekend…we're all just people. As much as it breaks my heart, I know there will be times when Max will "hate" me and think I'm the worst person on earth…but when it's all said and done, I hope he can read what I was also going through at the time and see that my actions, everything I do, are for him. It makes me realize too, that my parents are just people too, and I can only imagine how many times I must have broken their hearts. It hurts to know that you've hurt someone you love like that. Even knowing how much I love Max, though the word "love" doesn't begin to explain how I feel about him…makes me realize that when my mom told me that she loved me more than any one ever would…she was right. She wasn't trying to make me feel isolated, or like no one else would ever love me (which is what I use to think)…but that no one could ever possibly love me the way my mom does. Being a mom has shown me that.
Anyway, I know I've gone off on a tangent…too much time alone I guess. So to Cora and her mother, I thank them both for inspiring me (again) to cherish every moment with my beautiful boy…I feel so very, very sorry for their loss…I will try my hardest every day to be the very best mom I can be. I hope Cora's mom has the chance to have another baby when she's ready, because she will obviously be an amazing mom.
I think I have some gray hair….hmmmm.
Max seems to be feeling better, he's been eating more like he usually does…he didn't sleep through the night last night…he was bright eyed and ready to rock n' roll around 2am last night…it took about 2 hours for him to fall asleep…but he slept until 7am for the first time this week….we take the victories where we can get them!
I was impressed that Max could keep track of me tonight, since I was on the other side of a class wall…but he'd make eye contact with me and smile throughout his class…that was a great feeling!
Saturday, we took Max to his first sporting event….which happened to be an OSU Mens Basketball game…they were playing Michigan. We invited Bryan's family – dad, Jeff, Shonda, JD – to come along.
The game was a lot louder than I remembered them being…the music and band and fans and buzzers, but Max was WONDERFUL!!! He cries when he hears the vacuum, so I was expecting him to get upset a couple times, but he seemed to thouroughly enjoy himself. He even took a nap for about 25 minutes during the warm-up and 1st half. He danced and babbled and we let him sit by himself in his own seat…which he seemed to enjoy..especially being able to watch his older cousing, JD.
So maybe swimming isn't his sport…maybe it will be basketball? Although, he did get really excited when the cute little irish dancing group came out during halftime!!
Bryan and I found out on Monday, 2/7, that we are going to have another baby…at least according to the hi-tech pee-on-a-stick method. It's a little unbelievable that it happened so quickly, because it took us about 5 months to get pregnant with Max. We're very excited that Max and his sibling will be so close in age…although having 2 babies under the age of 2 may be a little tricky at times. I'm also hoping that bringing in another family member will be less stressful for him than if he were older. I know that people have survived much worse. Max is going to be an awesome big brother!
I'm already feeling a little rough in the mornings…although it was the same with Max. I hope this baby is as wonderful and healthy and easy as Max has been (I'm probably cursing myself by saying that??). Estimated Due date is November 12, 2010…perfect month for a baby…not too hot, not too cold…and I won't be 9 months pregant in July!!
Its been a while since Ive had a chance to update Maxs journal. First of all, max broke the apostrophe key when he was pounding on the keyboard a couple days ago, so youll see that those are missing from my punctuation. So, the reason Ive been a neglectful journal-keeper is because weve had a lot going on around here! Bryan got really sick last weekend and had to have his gall bladder removed on Weds, so now he cant pick up Max or anything else thats over 15 pounds for the next 4-6 weeks. Also, we listed our house for sale on Friday, had a pseudo-open house on Saturday, and yesterday was Easter (went to Grandma Ruths).
In the meantime, our little man is growing and changing daily. Hes still not crawling, but he is trying to pull himself up to stand. Hes made it to his knees. Hes also said his FIRST WORD – Dada. Its so freaking cute. He loves to clap now too…hes been doing that for about 2 weeks or so….youd think he was reciting the alphabet at 8 mos, not clapping, but hes our genious baby! Actually, the other day, I asked him if he could clap (without showing him what I was talking about) and he did it twice.
Hes just starting to eat solids again, he went on strike for about a month…so thats a relief. Right now, hes cuddling with his daddy in bed…this is the latest hes ever slept, but yesterday was a long day.
So Max is mobile….very, very mobile. He's been scooting on his belly ala army style since he was about 9 months old, but has recently moved to all fours in the past week. He's also very adept at pulling himself up to a stand. I've been thinking a helmet might be a good idea. He's also getting his 2 top teeth…for a couple weeks now…there's a gap between them, just like I had pre-braces…so in addition to his college fund, a braces fund is certainly going to be a must!
Baby #2 seems to be healthy so far…my last appointment was last week, and it was measuring correctly and heartbeat was good. We find out what "it" is in a month. My guess right now…girl. I have no preference, although, for it's sanity and well-being, I'm hoping he's a boy or she's a very tough girl because Max seems to be a bruiser. Yesterday, he tormented Nolan, the 2 year old I watch…all day!

Hello my lovelies, how are you all? Guess what… I HIT 700 FOLLOWERS i know it's insane thankyou SO much for once i'm actually speechless you guys are amazing!!
So this is a smalo (halo + smokey) eye thats not a thing im pretty sure but im just going to pretend it is. This look was inspired by the shadow venom from makeup geek, which is a beautiful shimmery dark green. As you all know im rubbish at smokey eyes but i attempted one for you i hope you all enjoy. Oh and have a lovely weekend i hope the weathers better than it is here in typical rainy, stormy England.
Im just going to go through how i created the eyeshadow look and skip the face because you've all read me do that a million times, then i will give you some tips on doing a smokey eye.
The look…
So first most importantly especially for when you're going to be using dark colours, because panda eyes aren't a cute look on humans to be honest, you should apply a base for this i used a morphe concealer from lid to brow bone then set it with a translucent powder.
For the crease i applied peach smoothie by makeup geek on a big fluffy brush followed by a burnt orange from morphe 350 palette on top blending it quite high. To darken up the crease i added a dark brown also from my morphe 350 palette and focused that mainly on the outer v and the outer third of my crease.
For the lid i took a black eyeshadow on a flat brush and applied that all over being careful not to go to high, then i buffed this out dragging it into the crease to give the smokey effect. When that was as dark as i wanted i went over it with peach smoothie to blend the colours together and leave no harsh lines.
For the halo part of the eye i took venom by makeup geek on a wet small flat brush to get more pigment, and put that on the lower center part of my lid, so it doesn't mix giving me a shimmery crease which i dont want because im not about that life.
Under my eye i put concealer cleaning up the edge of the eyeshadow and concealing dark circles. As always i set that with my lancome translucent pressed powder. Under my lash line i put peach smoothie followed by the black eyeshadow, blending it out on a small fluffy brush with the burnt orange to make it mirror my eye look. In the inner corner and brow bone i placed a white highlight from makeup revolution to make my eyes pop; add a few coats of mascara its finished.
Top 5 tips…
- When creating a smokey eye blend blend blend if you think you've finished you aren't blend again, this will make the look appear so much nicer and put together.
- When using dark colour apply concealer after so you can wipe away any fallout, so you wont look like a panda.
- Only apply the dark colour in the outer part of your crease and blend inwards creating a soft sexy effect.
- Always apply a bit of the darker colour on you lower lash line to tie the look together and balance it all out.
- When using a green shimmer apply a black eyeshadow as a base because it makes it more vibrant.
Thankyou for reading hope you enjoyed it was something a bit different if you prefer this type of makeup please let me know. Have a lovely day thankyou again so so much for 700 means the world!

The Night at a Brothel
We were on our way back home from our Ladakh bike expedition, it was already midnight and we wanted to cross Jammu & Kashmir at any cost. It's been 12 days and I haven't spoken to anyone, if we at least enter Punjab, I can call someone( Our phones didn't work in Kashmir).
We had our dinner at a dabha and decided to spend the night there. But as usual, Rajesh decided to sleep under a ceiling fan rather a million stars. So we started going to the nearest village and stopped at a small shop to ask if there were any places to sleep for that night.
I was wearing my helmet and sitting on the passenger side making it hard to recognize me . The shopkeeper gave a hard stare at me and said, couple of blocks down the lane, take a right into the alley and you will find what you are looking for. It was a weird way of giving directions but anyway we found the place he was talking about.
This street was standing out with bright lights and colors. It was surprisingly crowded for a small town after 12:30 am and most shocking part was to see women roaming around. This reminded me Gandhi's quote. He would be really proud seeing this.
Rajesh parks the bike and goes inside one of the building and comes out after 15 min and say:
Rajesh : I got a room for the next 6 hours just for Rs 350.
Me: WTF do you mean for 6 hours? wouldn't the regular checkout time is around 12:00pm?
Rajesh: I don't know, I'm just repeating what the lady said.
Me: Say what now?? A woman is managing this so called hotel?
Rajesh shrugs his shoulders & parks our bike inside. The building was a 2 storied building with a huge empty space in the middle.
(similar to this)
Me: Don't you think there are awful lot of women in here?
Rajesh: It's krishnashtami today(Indian festival), all the women seemed to be celebrating together.
We went inside our room to see that is was a small room with a shitty bed and very dim lighting, the bathroom stinks and a stupid Indian adult movie was playing on the TV.
Rajesh: Can you switch off the tv?? this place is shit.
Me: You are the one who paid the money to sleep in this damn place.
I had reception on my cell after 10 days so I was texting everyone saying I am alive no need to worry.
Enter the Prostitute
We could see everything and hear everything outside our room because Rajesh had opened a window hoping to get some fresh air. We noticed a girl was continuously passing by our window, she was short, hot & was wearing a tight chudidar (Indian dress) which was choking her chest. After a while she removes her chunnie (scarf usually wore around the neck) exposing her cleavage and started staring at us with a smile.
Me: why the fuck is she staring at us?
Rajesh: May be we look like hot south Indian movie heroes.
Me: Yeah, we hadn't had shower in 10 days, we are so tanned that someone might think we are black and we we don't even have a super athletic body type.
Rajesh: let's just smile back at her and see what might happen.
As soon as Rajesh smiles back, she comes near and starts speaking in Punjabi. But non of us could speak Punjabi, so didn't understand shit what she was saying.
Suddenly we could hear a women fighting over a man. but as I said, they were arguing in Punjabi so we couldn't understand anything.
Rajesh: I don't like this place, everything seems to be out of ordinary.
Me: Well, you should have thought about it before you paid the money.
Rajesh: I hate this place, and why is this bed sticky?
Me: I don't know dude, may be the last guys who slept here jerked off on the bed.
Rajesh: It's fucking grose. That's it, I think this place is a fucking brothel, that's why these many girls are here. The fight outside is definitely related with money, they are keep on saying "I need Rs 1500 not Rs 1000". That girl at the window is not hitting on us she is baiting us for sex.
Me: That explains, the adult movie in the TV and the condoms in the bathroom.
Rajesh: There are condoms in the bathroom?
Me: Yeah, you want some? I took couple of them.
Rajesh: But why? you don't even have a girlfriend you are still a virgin
Me: Bitch, as if you had sex before & you are in a relationship for 4 fucking years. I have my needs.
And what exactly is going on with you and your girlfriend?
Rajesh: Why the fuck are we discussing my sex life instead of getting the hell out of here?
Me: Ahhhh…. It's 1:30 am in the night and we just have Rs 450 and 1 day journey left.
Rajesh: We will go to jail if there is a raid
Me: Chill, we are just couple of guys, there is no girl with us… yet!!
Rajesh: Mother Fu*ker, that's even a bigger problem, homosexuality is not legal in India.
meanwhile we hear the knock on the door, it was the window girl with a deep neck chudidar and no pants.
Rajesh: God, now why is she hear?
I decided to have a fun time with Rajesh, this is the time to get back for all those years of oppression.
Me: What happens in Punjab stays in Punjab, I promise I will not say anything to your girlfriend.
Rajesh: Don't be an asshole, I have a girlfriend. I can't cheat on her.
Me: If you hadn't had sex with her yet, how is this cheating?
Rajesh: We are broke AF, we have to go back now.
Me: You could have Rs 100, I don't know what you will get though, may be Blow job or at least a boob slap I assume.
Rajesh: Stop fucking with me, I am leaving, I don't care if you are coming or not.
As we were leaving, the woman who gave us the room came towards us and said if you don't want the present one , I have few on the first floor.
Holy shit, she isn't the manager of the hotel, she was a madam…
We started our bike and didn't look back, now we had no place to sleep and no money in our pocket. After a distance we found a temple which was having a krishnashtami celebration. We went inside & after the singing was over we asked the pundit if we could sleep here for tonight. He was generous enough and let us sleep there for that night.
Hope you enjoyed the crazy story, please like – comment – share.

Benga is a dubstep music producer from Croydon, south London, although he was born in east London. As a boy he used to hang out at the Big Apple record shop in Croydon and make his own tunes at home on his Playstation. The tunes caught the attention of dubstep producer Hatcha, who worked at the shop, and by the age of 15 Benga had made his first record, "Skank", released on Big Apple's own record label. He was also one of the first dubstep producers when the style was emerging in the early 2000s. He has been featured on a variety of compilations including Mary Anne Hobbs's Warrior Dubz, Tempa's The Roots of Dubstep and the BBC Radio 1Xtra anniversary mix. Benga is also noted for using acoustic drums on some songs, including "Live Drums" and "Evolution". - Wikipedia

Our site is releasing a TASMO simulation against a strong Turkish Naval Surface Attack Group south of Cyprus.
This is the final version of the requested scenario by our facebook page fans
(Check https://www.facebook.com/defencegreece/)
Special Thanks to Zaharias Tzamargias for its contribution during the development of the scenario !
Date: 30 September 2019
Since the events of June 2018 when the Turkish offshore Drilling ship with the name Conqueror arrived in Attaleia port, the combined Greek-Cypriot Forces have been on High Alert.
During the following months the turkish naval presence was limited around the Turkish shores. But after the political instability in Greece due to parliamentary elections (2019), the Turkish Navy has vastly expanded its activity in the sea area south of Cyprus, Eastern Med. A long period of tension between the three countries (Cyprus, Greece and Turkey) over the disputed offshore oil reserves of Cyprus (once a home the the mythical Goddess Aphrodite) seems to be reaching a flashpoint.

Like any social and employment system, labour hire has an impact on organizational citizens – the employer and employee (Boyce et al., 2007). On employees, labourbroking can affect their job satisfaction levels and the degree of commitment to theorganizations they work for (Judge, Thoresen, Bono & Patton, 2001). Despite that, labour hire becomes an option to turn to when the economic outlook turns outpressing – an opportunity to earn income for sustenance in times of economichardship despite poor basic working conditions and minimum rewards (Berchem,2005). For the employer, labour hire has been seen to provide competitiveadvantage – an avenue to pursue greater efficiencies (Jauch, 2007).
It follows that, as Mitlacher argues, when a worker is employed temporarily, a situationof expecting him or her to leave his or her employer in a short period of time isanticipated and created. Macgregor (2001) refers to labour hire as the supply oroutsource of skilled and unskilled blue collar workers hired for short- and long-termpositions and are known or referred to as field workers regarded necessary forsupplementary staffing.
Moreover, just like the workers of any occupation, production operator can only be efficient in the performance of their duties and responsibilities towards their respective organizations if they possess high level job satisfaction. Locke (1976) defines job satisfaction as the outcome of an employee's good feelings and beliefs regarding the nature of his job and experiences related to the job. It is generally recognized as a multifaceted construct that includes employee feelings about a variety of both intrinsic and extrinsic job elements. Stordeur et al. (2001) contend that job satisfaction is an immediate antecedent of work commitment, and work commitment an immediate antecedent of intention to leave the workplace and turnover. They expound the idea by saying that the higher an employee's job satisfaction and work commitment, the lower his intention to leave. Based on this contention the researcher has raised this question: what are the causes of job satisfaction, so that an employee will stay committed to his work, and will continue to hold on to it? Numerous motivation theories address this question. Among them are: Herzberg's Satisfaction-Motivation Theory; McClelland's Three Motives Theory; Vroom's Expectancy Theory; and Alderfer's Three-tiered Model of Needs. Motivation is defined by Newstrom and Davis (1993) as strength of the drive toward an action. These definitions according to Steers and Porter (1991) have three common denominators: 1) what energizes human behavior; 2) what directs or channels such behavior; and, 3) how this behavior is maintained or sustained. Newstrom and Davis (1993) explain that when people join an organization, they bring with them certain drives and needs that affect their work performance. Sometimes these drives and needs are not only difficult to determine and satisfy but also vary greatly from one person to another. Herzberg (Hollyforde and Whiddett, 2005), in his Satisfaction-Motivation theory explains that the things people find satisfying in their jobs are not always the opposite of the things they find dissatisfying. This is because the things that lead to job satisfaction are distinct from those that lead to job dissatisfaction. According to Herzberg (Stoner and Wankel, 1987), every individual worker has two different categories of needs: the hygiene factors, and the satisfying factors. The hygiene factors are known as the dissatisfiers, but they do not affect the motivation and output of workers. The satisfying factors on the other hand are the real motivators, but their absence does not necessarily lead to dissatisfaction. The hygiene factors include the environment around the job, such as policies and administration, supervision, working conditions, interpersonal relations,...

This post is in honor of Peach related Holidays. Below you will find a list of peach holidays and a list of "The Benefits of Peaches" as it relates to Home remedies, Food therapy and treatments.
The benefits of peaches are amazing!

National Peach Month / August
- Peaches are recommended for acute, infectious diseases. They are recommended for reducing cholesterol in blood, in prevention of cardiovascular, renal diseases and anemia. Peaches are used in abdominal colics and rheumatism pains. As tea they are recommended in convulsive cough.
- Peach is the aliment recommended for convalescence, for those who are in advanced states of fatigue or depressive states. It charges and regenerates energetic reserves through its rich containment of sugar and carbohydrates. Due to the fact that they contain phosphorus, peaches are recommended in neurosis, protecting the nervous cells.
- Vitamin A, B1 and B2 are irreplaceable for the balance of the nervous system, they achieve the synthesis of hemoglobine, maintain magnesium in the body and strengthen the natural immunity.
- Breast cancer cells -- even the most aggressive type -- died after treatments with peach and plum extracts in lab tests by two specific phenolic acid components : chlorogenic and neochlorogenic.
- Peaches eaten in the morning instead of breakfast regulate intestinal and hepatic functions, maintain the alkalinization of blood, favor asssimilation and nutrition. The regular consumption of peaches is recommended to those with urinary lithiasis as well as for those who want to increase their urinary debit.
- Peaches feed and regenerate the skin tissue. If the face is lotioned with peach juice, the complexion can be given a more shiny look.
- Apart from their therapeutic qualities, peaches can be used in various weight losing diets. In the peel of a very ripe peach, at least 10 enigmatic elements exist which activate some substances which destroy the fat layers, this is why peach diets are effective.
Extra Information:
Total polyphenols in mg per 100 g of fresh weight were 14–102 in white-flesh nectarines, 18–54 in yellow-flesh nectarines, 28–111 in white-flesh peaches, and 21–61 mg per 100 g in yellow-flesh peaches. The major phenolic compounds identified in peach are chlorogenic acid, catechins and epicatechins, with other compounds, identified by HPLC, including gallic acid and ellagic acid. Rutin and isoquercetin are the primary flavonols found in clingstone peaches.
Red-fleshed peaches are rich in anthocyanins, particularly cyanidin glycosides in six peach and six nectarine cultivars and malvin glycosides in clingstone peaches. As with many other members of the rose family, peach seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, including amygdalin (note the subgenus designation: Amygdalus). These substances are capable of decomposing into a sugar molecule and hydrogen cyanide gas. While peach seeds are not the most toxic within the rose family (see bitter almond), large consumption of these chemicals from any source is potentially hazardous to animal and human health.
Peach allergy or intolerance is a relatively common form of hypersensitivity to proteins contained in peaches and related fruits (such as almonds). Symptoms range from local effects (e.g. oral allergy syndrome, contact urticaria) to more severe systemic reactions, including anaphylaxis (e.g. urticaria, angioedema, gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms). Adverse reactions are related to the "freshness" of the fruit: peeled or canned fruit may be tolerated.
Special Precautions of Chlorogenic Acid
- It was hypothesized in the 1960′s that chlorogenic acid was a chemical sensitizer, responsible for causing respiratory allergies to certain plant materials containing chlorogenic acid in humans. Some experiments on animals using fairly aggressive techniques, did cause severe allergic reactions after the material was injected into the animals, both to sensitise them and again to elicit the allergic response.
- Chlorogenic acid has also been associated with increased levels of the protein amino acid homocysteine. Increased homocysteine levels are linked to an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease, however, it has not been proven that reducing elevated homocysteine improves cardiovascular outcomes for people.
- Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid were once thought to be capable of inducing vitamin B1 deficiency, however, this hypothesis was disproven in the early 1980′s. It can however, reduce the absorption of zinc and iron from the diet.
Benefits and uses of Chlorogenic Acid are
- Slowed glucose absorption, reduced insulin spike after eating : slow down the absorption of glucose in the human gut, therefore reducing the insulin spike after a meal, an effect that is of significant benefit to those suffering from type II diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome or polycystic ovarian syndrome.
- Reduced production of glucose in the liver : Chlorogenic acid has also been found in vitro to inhibit the liver enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase which plays a critical role in the production of glucose in the liver.
- Increased uptake of glucose in muscle tissue
- Reduced risk of type II diabetes : People who drink a significant amount of coffee have less of a risk of developing type II diabetes than non-coffee drinkers. As caffeine worsens insulin sensitivity, this effect has been attributed to chlorogenic acid.
- Protection against Alzheimer's disease, nerve degeneration : Population studies have linked moderate coffee consumption with a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases and laboratory studies have begun to confirm that chlorogenic acid is one of the agents responsible for this protective effect, although caffeine is also considered likely to have a protective effect.
- Reduced risk of liver disease : The results of epidemiological research suggest that coffee consumption may help prevent several chronic diseases, including cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) as well as gallstones.
- Reduced body mass and fat
- Increase fat-burning and inhibit new fat cells forming
- Mild laxative
- Lower blood pressure
- Stimulant : Chlorogenic acid has a weak psychostimulant effect, with animal studies in rats estimating the effect to be around one third as strong as the effect from caffeine.
- Improve mood and cognitive abilities : A 2012 study in healthy elderly participants found that decaffeinated coffee with a higher concentration of chlorogenic acids (521 mg) improved their mood and ability to perform a battery of cognitive tasks in comparison with ordinary decaffeinated coffee which contained only 224 mg chlorogenic acids.
- Eyesight : Chlorogenic acid found in coffee prevents cell death in the retina by at least 73%. In some cases, it didn't just prevent cell damage—it actually increased the number of healthy cells.

Below is the first episode of the new series.
Also Hasbro has started making a My Little Pony line of toys based on the new show. My daughters were lucky enough to review a few of those toys including the Twilight Sparkle's Twinkling Balloon set (which is featured in the opening of every episode) and the My Little Pony Applejack and Rarity play figurines.
Now the Twilight Sparkls's Twinkling Balloon is really cute and my daughters loved it. It is made to be like a scene out of the show. My daughters used it to reenact the opening of the show several times. Now for the really cool thing about it..It lights up and plays music. My daughters love to use it as a night light in the bedroom. below are pics of it not lit up and lit up.
It creates hours of play. Now for the My little Pony play figurines.
Each pony figurine comes with a saddle and an animal friend. Applejack has a puppy and Rarity has a bird. The puppy and bird fit perfectly in the saddles on the back of the ponies so they can ride with them on their adventures. My two daughters loved this. They used the figurines with the Twilight Sparkle's Balloon set and created their own My Little Pony story.
I am so glad that another generation is enjoying My Little Pony. After all they are classic!
You can check out the affordable My Little Pony Friendship is Magic toy line online and at mass toy retailers like Wal Mart and Target. You can check out weekly shows on the HUB or online.

As promised, I have been eager to share all the details of my wedding day! I will cover everything from my dress, Cody's suit even down to the cake topper. Like I mentioned in my previous post, our wedding was quite simple. A lot of the small details were taken care of for us by the Sanderling Resort.
Let's talk about my dress and his suit!
Details: Dress: (Maggie Sottero) & Suit: (Men's Warehouse)
All of the Dresses from Maggie Sottero are absolutely stunning. I picked out 3 different dresses while I was hunting for the perfect dress, and each of them were from this designer. I can't find my exact dress because it was purchased over a year ago, but any of her designs are gorgeous!
As for Cody's Suit, again I can't find the exact one but I linked one similar. He blew me away with his choice for our wedding day. He picked out his entire outfit without any help from me. Men's Warehouse hooked him up with the outfit he had in mind and He looked incredible!
As for my sandals, I found these pair off one of my favorite bridal websites! I linked the exact pair. With the idea of walking on the sand, I knew I would need a dressier pair of sandals. If these aren't formal enough, I would highly recommend them for your honeymoon! The beading detail and metals are perfection!
Okay So I covered all the details of Cody and I's outfit.. Let's talk about my "bridesmaids". From the photos you can see that I didn't actually have any of the girls stand beside me on my wedding day. (Truth be told, I didn't want to have to pick anyone for maid of honor.) As gifts to my girls, I bought them each custom hangers and silk pale pink robes.
As for dresses, I left each of my girls up to picking their own dresses. I said they can all do different shades of pink dresses. I wanted them to pick something they liked, and would possibly use again. Most of the girls shopped Lulu's. They have a ton of affordable fashion and perfect formal pieces.
I hope you guys all enjoyed this in depth post sharing all the little details about Cody and I's Wedding day! Feel free to leave any questions down below, and I will be sure to answer each of them!
Mrs. Tiffany Glass

Terror Jr.'s EP Is So Kylie
There are three types of people on this planet we call Earth: Those who suspect Kylie Jenner is part of Terror Jr., those who suspect Kylie Jenner is not part of Terror Jr., and those who couldn't care about any of this if their life depended on it. I, for one, proudly belong in the first category. Ever since that "3 Strikes"-soundtracked Kylie Cosmetics ad dropped earlier this year, I've been dying to know whether not the lip gloss maven is the frontwoman of the pop outfit. Could the elusive chanteuse in that pink wig be Kristen Mary Jenner's youngest child? Could Terror Jr. be Kylie Jenner's secret music side project? Is Kylie Jenner a real life Hannah Montana? The months have rolled by, and we still do not have an answer. But do you know what we do have? Terror Jr.'s very first EP, Bop City.
On Friday, Felix Snow, David "Campa" Benjamin Singer-Vine, and Lisa "I Promise I'm Probably Not Kylie Jenner You Guys" Terror released their first EP. And as the name suggests, it is a veritable city of bops. A township of jams. A municipality of groovy tunes. (And might I add, a very good one — seriously, this album is a mix of great earworms from start to finish.)
Now, I realize I'm biased (i.e., I really want the Kylie-is-Lisa-Terror thing to be real), but I genuinely believe all eight songs boast The Kylie Vibe. And to illustrate what I mean, I've graded each Bop City song on the Kylie-ness of the sound. These scores have less to do with the lyrical content or the mystery singer's voice, and more to do with the record's overall energy. The aura. The Kylie Vibe.
1. "Little White Bars"
Kylie Vibe Score: Something about the production makes me feel like I'm on a yacht with seafoam green hair. 10/10.
2. "Pray"
Kylie Vibe Score: This one is as flavor-packed as a kumquat. 10/10.
3. "Sugar"
Kylie Vibe Score: That hook is as slick 'n' vibrant as a tube of Kourt K lip gloss. 10/10.
4. "Come First"
Kylie Vibe Score: This reminds me of driving down the PCH at dawn. The sky is a Snapchat-worthy shade of purpley-orange, the birds of Malibu are singing, and the day has yet to put all of its weight on your shoulders. 10/10.
5. "Say So"
Kylie Vibe Score: The perfect jam to fire up when you want to take Norman the Italian Greyhound for a walk. 10/10.
6. "Super Powers"
Kylie Vibe Score: If "Come First" is Malibu at sunup, "Super Powers" is the commute back to Calabasas after a long night at the Hollywood and Highland Dave and Busters with family and friends and camera crews. 10/10.
7. "3 Strikes"
Kylie Vibe Score: I mean, it's the Kylie Cosmetics commercial song. 10/10.
8. "Truth"
Kylie Vibe Score: "When we lie together, it's the truth/When we lie together, it's the truth/When we lie together, it's the truth." What is truth? What is a lie? Who is Lisa Terror? 10/10.
Wow. Eight 10/10 scores? That can only mean one thing: Whether she's in Terror Jr. or not, Bop City is so Kylie.

Toy Soldiers: Cold War Review
Toy Soldiers: Cold War is the second Tower Defence game developed by Signal Studios.
When Toy Soldiers first released I had a lot of fun playing it. I enjoy strategy games and Toy Soldiers combined both, tower defence and third person shooting to make something unique. It was an interesting idea that pulled off perfectly. Toy Soldiers: Cold War is still a tower defence game like the original but it's packed with more features and some new ideas that make it a more enjoyable experience than before.
If your not familiar with the original Toy Soldiers, it's a tower defence game where your objective is to defend your Toy Box from waves of enemies. Each wave has different types of challenging enemies, from small army men to large armoured tanks, helicopters etc. You start off with a certain amount of cash to place your defence on certain structures. From turret guns, cannons and more. You will earn cash for each enemy you kill and saving it up is key if you wish to purchase more weaponry, upgrade or repair them.
Once you have your defence in place you can simply watch your soldiers fight for their life or you can control them yourself. Simply pressing A on a turret for example will give you the option to control it. This turns the game into a third person shooter. It can be done for any of the weapon placements and it mixes up the gameplay nicely and makes it more enjoyable than an ordinary Tower Defence game.
I found the original Toy Soldiers quite tricky at times as I remember restarting a level time and time again due to been over run by enemies. Cold War didn't seem to be much of a chore as the new features make it a little less fustrating. Signal Studios have solved the problem from having to restart the whole level after been defeated. This is done by the new rewind playback feature. If a level ends due to a mistake you can select the rewind feature to replay the previous wave. It's a nice feature and doesn't give you that worry about having to restart the whole level again.
Cold War is a more enjoyable experience than the first in my opinion. Barrages are one of the reasons why. Defeating a certain enemy with a star above it will trigger a Barrage that is randomly selected.There's many different Barrages available. From an AC-130, Commando, Artillery Strike and more. The Commando is one of my favourites. This turns the game into a third person shooter as you control a Rambo like figure with a machine gun in one hand and a rocket launcher in the other. Barrages like this are limited to certain amount of time but it can turn a wave in your favour quickly.
There's also battery powered vehicles throughout the game and these help out a lot when weapon placements are not enough. From tanks, helicopters and even aircrafts, depending on the level. These battery powered Toys are very useful and can be used whenever you wish but they need to recharge before using them again. They are battery powered after all.
The main campaign is on the short side and only takes around 1-2 hours but with a Survival Mode, Multiplayer and Mini Games, there's enough to keep you busy for a long time. Survival Mode is simply surviving constant waves of enemies to see how long you will last. The Mini Games are mini challenges like target practice to test your skills and compare them on the Leaderboard. Finally Multiplayer allows you to play the entire Campaign and Survival Mode in CO-op, offline or online.
Overall, Toy Soldiers: Cold War is a more fun experience than it's predecessor. The Barrages are a great addition and it's packed with lots of replay value, making your points well worth spent.

AERs in Aphasia: Severity and Improvement
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

|Condition or disease
|Procedure: Auditory Evoked Response
Over one million persons in the United States are aphasic subsequent to a stroke. Most of the individuals improve through spontaneous recovery and treatment. However, there are no precise methods for predicting which patients will improve and, for those who do, how much improvement will occur. There is a need to improve prognostic precision in aphasia. Currently employed prognostic methods miss improvement levels by substantial margins. Prognostic information could have a great economic and social impact on patients, their families, and their treatment.
The purpose of this investigation is to test the precision of auditory evoked responses (AERs) to provide a prognosis for improvement in aphasia subsequent to a left hemisphere thromboembolic infarct. We hypothesize that the presence, absence, and pattern of the AER responses will predict severity of aphasia and prognosis for improvement. Phonemic, phonologic, semantic, and syntactic language tasks will be used to elicit AERs, including the auditory late response, the mismatch negativity response (MMN), the N400, and the P600. Twenty moderately aphasic subjects, 20 severely aphasic subjects, and 20 age-matched, normal subjects will be tested. All aphasic subjects will be evaluated with the AER test battery and a language test battery: Western Aphasia Battery (WAB), Porch Index of Communicative Ability (PICA), the Token Test (TT), the Auditory Comprehension Test for Sentences (ACTS), and the ASHA Functional Assessment of Communication Skills for Adults (ASHA FACS). All tests will be repeated in 6 and 12 weeks, during which the aphasic subjects will receive treatment. Aphasic subjects will receive follow-up testing 3 and 6 months after the treatment phase is completed. The patterns of the AERs will be examined. Correlations and analyses of variance (ANOVAs) will be used to assess the relationships between AER measures and improvement in aphasia quantified by behavioral measures. A multiple regression technique will be used to determine the best predictor(s) of improvement in aphasia. Correlations and analyses of variance (ANOVAs) will be used to assess the relationship between AER measures and severity of aphasia. Correlations and assessment of composite CT/MRI reconstructions for subject groups will be used to determine the relationship between size (correlations) and site of lesion, AERs, and severity and improvement in aphasia.

Saturday, March 2, 2002 - Sunday, March 3, 2002 -- McHenry, MD
Winter Blast Weekend (iPO Event Id#: 4889)
Story and photos by Don Parks
[Overall Results]
Pictures: [Set 1] [Set 2] [Set 3] [Set 4] [Set 5] [Set 6] [Set 7] [Set 8] [Set 9]
Set 1: Turtle Race; Set 2-3: Kids Slalom; Set 3-8: Big Air;
Set 8: Bump Contest; Set 8-9: Pond Crossing
We also caught up with the acrobatics of the Big Air competition, the thrill of victory in the Kids Slalom Race, and the tortuous runs in the Bump Competition. And we didn't even get to all the events!
Part of what we didn't catch was the conclusion of the Ford Big Air
Series skier and boarder cross. The series final was held on Saturday
with Danny Ellis looking to make it four-for-four in skier
cross. Even though he got knocked out early in a big pileup, and the
win went to Lee Railey, his previous three victories were
plenty to award him the overall series title.
Moving back to Sunday, it was time to decide the champions in the Big Air. The weather turned brutal as a mix of cold rain and wind quickly turned to snow. Throw in some serious vert at the top of two huge ramps, and you just knew it was going to be huge trouble. Lucky the snow was still soft from the earlier mild temps.
Probably the scariest move of the afternoon was Nate Councell's
backflip. Too bad he only made it halfway around, which meant a
headfirst landing. Everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief as he
got up under his own power. And a quick trip to the hospital for
x-rays revealed no serious damage.
For the skiers, there were more familiar names at the top of the scorer sheets with Taylor Glotfelty getting the 17 and over win and the series title. For the 16 and under it was another win for Tom Wallisch.
After taking in the big air show, and cringing at the carnage, we
ventured into the moguls for a Bump Competition. The competitors were
wincing at the incredibly difficult run they were faced with, but it
was the same for everyone.
The final act of the day was the much anticipated Pond Crossing. The
snow had stopped falling and the sun was sneaking a peak every now and
then. But the temperature had dropped through the day and a gusty
wind didn't help matters any. This just made the goal of crossing the 100 foot
long pool of icy water that much more desirable. For those that
ended up taking the unwanted swim, there were more than enough safety
personnel ready and waiting for the rescue.
Gaining speed down the approach the large crowd that gathered shivered with anticipation (or maybe just because it was so frikin' freezing out!) Swooosh... splash... zzzzzip... bam, save and dry on the opposite end of the pond. He made it practically look easy and the crowd cheered with approval.
Well, how about we try this with someone on skis? Swooosh... splash...
zzzzzip... bam, another clean run. Amazing, was it really just that
easy. Not hardly!
Taking home awards for their efforts were skiers Bart Simpson, Josh Fratz, and Dale Carpenter, and boarders Josh Harris, Matt Walker, and John Comer. You know they'll all be back to try it again at next year's Winter Blast, and you won't want to miss it!

Recently two of our students attended the an awards ceremony at Northumbria University for the Schools Physicist of the Year 2017. Both students received the award of Physicist of the Year from the Ogden Trust and Northumbria University. The Trust's aim is to maximise the opportunities available to young people in all parts of the UK's educational system and is now focused on science, particularly physics. The Trust supports a range of initiatives, programmes and projects to promote the teaching and learning of physics.
The ceremony was opened by the Pro-Vice Chancellor of Northumbria University, himself a Physicist, who talked about his life in Physics and the work that the University does. This was followed by an interesting short lecture from Dr Rodrigo Ledesma-Aguilar on Soft Matter Physics.
Winning the award for Year 10, Beth Harrison was nominated for her outstanding attitude, effort and attainment this year. While Emma Slater in Year 12 won the A-level Physics Award. Emma has worked incredibly hard this year and made fantastic progress.
Congratulations go to both students.

When it comes to Breilting watches, we always think of different kinds of large size men watches and it seems like there is few ladies' watches. Actually Breitling designs one kind of Galactic replica watch just for successful ladies. That is cheap Breitling Galactic replica watch with quartz movements.
The Breitling fake watches with white pearls dials are in steel cases. The crowns are in tungsten steel materials which are quite hard compared with polished steel. At the same time, it is also anti-scratched. The steel bracelets copy watches adopt 5 links design in order to highlight both solid and comfortable structure.
In addition, the Breitling copy watches with steel hands can be waterproof to 100 meters which inherit the consistent tradition. This kind of Galactic replica watch is regarded as the powerful watch combined with exquisite craft and modern technology.
