Coin Story
The Moorish Idol received its name from the Moors in Africa who believed the fish was a bringer of happiness. It is also commonly known in Hawaii as "Kihikihi" which means "curves," "corners," or "zigzags," and refers to its shape and colour pattern. It is the only member of the family Zanclidae, and a very close relative of the Tangs or Surgeonfish. One of the most widespread fish, it can be found throughout the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, and all of the tropical Pacific.
Perhaps the most graceful of all marine fish, for many hobbyists, it also one of the most difficult fish to keep because it is so hard to feed. It is better admired in the ocean than in a home tank!

Counseling and Psychotherapy:
Psychotherapy, also known as counseling, is a general term that is used to describe the process of treating psychological disorders, mental distress and assisting an individual, family or groups during life changing events. During this process, a trained and licensed psychotherapist helps the client tackle a specific or general problem such as a particular mental illness or a source of life stress. Depending on the approach used by the therapist, a wide range of techniques and strategies can be used. However, almost all types of psychotherapy involve developing a therapeutic relationship, communicating and creating a dialogue and working to overcome problematic thoughts or behaviors.
Closed Eye Processing:
These are processes that allow you to be fully conscious in a relaxed state, in order to access the areas of the brain where habits, negative thought patterns and faulty beliefs about ourselves are formed and are still running. Dismantling them and creating new healthy ones for yourself becomes far easier and more permanent in this relaxed state.
Heart Centered Hypnotherapy:
As described in the video above by the founder of The Wellness Institute, Diane Zimberoff, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy uses closed eye processes and a series of guided visualizations to create relaxation and access to the subconscious mind. Clients are gently and safely guided to discover past connections to current issues, patterns and blocks, and enabled to release repressed emotions, change unhealthy beliefs, while making new, healthier life decisions. The work takes place in the subconscious mind where the original trauma(s) occurred, which allows healing and transformation to occur faster than traditional psychotherapy. This is a "fast track" to healing!
Therapeutic Breathwork or Breath Therapy engages all aspects of body, mind and Spirit in its approach to healing that uses specific breathing techniques designed to bridge the gap between the conscious and subconscious mind. Many clients experience a deeper sense of relaxation, heightened spiritual awareness and an improved sense of well-being. The three primary areas of benefit are: Body-mind therapy, Personal development and Spiritual connection and unfoldment.
Who Can Benefit?
Those seeking Personal, Professional, and Spiritual Growth. Those experiencing Blocked Creativity , Loss of Meaning and Purpose, Patterns of Addiction , Stress and Burnout , Feelings of Worthlessness , Sexual Dysfunction , Depression , Grief , Repressed Trauma , Relationship Issues, Eating Disorders , & Critical Life Transitions, along with many others!
A Therapeutic Breathwork session under the support and guidance of therapist Catherine Foytik will consciously activate the human respiratory cycle promoting awareness, transformation and integration, and will help participants to experience deep connection and an improved sense of well-being.
Essential oils have therapeutic benefits and have been researched and proven to decrease mental and physical health symptoms. I have a diffuser in my office and at home and use one every day! Please browse through my online shop and start decreasing your symptoms today!

While Jim Quinones' cover for "Avengers Assemble" #17 depicts a team in desperate need of help, Amanda Conner's variant for the issue provides a more positive outlook for Captain Marvel and Earth's Mightiest Heroes as the events of "The Enemy Within" continue to rock their world -- literally --as the Marvel Universe hurtles headlong into the grasp of the Mad Titan Thanosin "Infinity."
"[There are] 8 million lives at risk, and Carol [Danvers] makes a great sacrifice," writer Kelly Sue DeConnick recently told CBR News. "Both ['Captain Marvel' and 'Avengers Assemble'] are tying into 'Infinity,' and I'm trying to do a thing that, if it works, will be awesome... It's ambitious for the first time out of the gate on a tie-in, but how can you look at anything Jonathan Hickman does and not feel like you have to up your game?"
Check out Conner's variant cover below, and stay tuned to CBR for more on "The Enemy Within, Infinity and more.

Rollerball - Submarine [2009]Posted by Captain Beyond Zen on Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Long regarded as one of the country`s most incendiary live bands, Rollerball are ready to tear the roof off. Sharing stages with stoner legends Queens Of The Stoneage, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, Budgie & Oz rock royalty The Angels & Rose Tattoo Rollerball are the the real deal.
Take a mix of AC/DC, Kyuss, Blue Oyster Cult & Thin Lizzy & you get a hint of the unique Rollerball sound. Massive riffs, surrealist lyrics, tribal rhythms & pounding grooves, this is hard rock without irony, pastiche or plagiarism. From turbo charged belters, prog mind melters, sing along shanties & epic stoner jams, Submarine is an album that demands to be heard from start to finish.

The course of post-graduate training in VNTU was
introduced in 1976.
The course of doctorate trainingwas introduced in 1988.
The magistrates projecting and introduction of training plans began in 1991,
in 1996 first Masters finished the course.
The University has a unique efficient system of
highly qualified academic staff training.
The training of
scientifically skilled specialists is realized in 23 specialities and
6 Specialized Academic Councils of doctorate and
candidate theses
defense function at VNTU.
A characteristic feature of highly qualified
scientific staff training technology is that that the applicants which
aspire to receive a scientific degree must finish post-graduate course
of training (the magistrates). Applying to the magistrates is allowed
only to the students who while receiving their Bachelor degree showed
scientific research skills. The applicants must master techniques of
new knowledge generation; write and defend their Master theses which
makes up 30% - 40% of their future candidate theses; publish main
results of their work and pass Master minimum exams in Philosophy,
Foreign Language and speciality. The programs of these exams make up
50% of candidate exams programs, and the exams are considered entrance
exams to post-graduate training.
The advantages of this technology lie in the fact
that starting their post-graduate course post-graduates don't waste
time looking for the topic and supervisor, mastering scientific works
of other authors in the chosen scientific field, becoming familiar with
experiment conducting techniques and data processing, learning how to
write articles and reports about their work. All these they have
already done while being trained to receive Master Degree. This
technology is realized by the Institute of Post-graduate Study which
was created on the basis of Master Training and Post-Graduate Study
According to the development conception which was
approved in 1990, new experimental training plans and programs of
three-stage (Bachelor, Engineer, Master) system of training specialists
with higher technical education were developed and approved. Master
training was organized according to the methods developed in VNTU
taking into consideration world's experience. Masters' graduation which
took place in VNTU in 1996 was the first in Ukraine.
In order to proceed with scientific research of
peculiarities of three-stage Master training system and with the
developing and application of perspective techniques and algorithms of
Master training specificities in VNTU, within the period of April 1,
1997 - December 31, 1999 scientific research was conducted on the topic
"Research of peculiarities and development of structure and content of
Master of Sciences training in the context of new knowledge generation
technique". The results of this work were completely realized in VNTU
and this sufficiently increased the quality of post-graduate training.
In 1996 Department of Master Training Coordination
was created and in 1997 it joined the section of Post-Graduate Study
and the new one was called Department of Post-Graduate Study (DPGS).
With the purpose of improving organization forms
and ever increasing efficiency of highly qualified academic staff
training on the basis of Department of Post-Graduate study was created
Institute of Master, Post-graduate and Doctor Degree Study (IMPDDS).
In 1996 the first Masters were graduated in Ukraine, they had been studying by special curricula during whole training period. Nowadays there are 1019 Masters who got Master's degree in VNTU. Half of them have already got a Ph.D.; by the way more than two-thirds of them defended Ph.D. thesis in time.
In 2018 the efficiency of Post Graduate training amounts to 39 %.
Preparations for postgraduate study at VNTU are carried out for specialties ... [more]

I just finished reading an essay for my writing class that I couldn't leave unshared. There are so many great excerpts that I had difficulty picking just one for this post, but I highly recommend reading the whole piece if you have time. Mark Edmundson shares an honest view of the education system and the American work ethic that he coats with clever analogies and witty one-liners.
"Education is about finding out what form of work for you is close to being play—work you do so easily that it restores you as you go"
I couldn't think of a better essay to start off my semester with the right attitude. If you're interested in reading the rest, check it out here.

My kid's Jewish — why should he wear a Santa hat?
The email that landed in my inbox was exploding with excitement: "We will have our winter festival soon!" "Please support us!" "Your kids are doing a great job!!"
Typical of our son's wonderful preschool teacher, I thought.
The next section, though, felt like a kick to the gut: The girls should come dressed in red and white and Santa hats. The boys, green and white and Santa hats. My Jewish 3-year-old was about to get a good soaking in his outsider status, I thought, all to a jingly beat.
I tried to access an ostensibly more reasonable version of myself, the longtime religion reporter who thrives on spiritual assortment, who understands that faith identity is formed by years of experiences, who has covered holiday culture wars for years and always thought: That will never be me.
Within a few days, though, I'd become the sort of person I write about. I complained to the teacher as well as the PTA president. Why is one faith being held up as the "mainstream" one, I asked?
My objections, voiced two years ago during my family's first holiday season in the D.C. school system, contributed to the annual cacophony of grievances from American parents of various faiths (or of no religious or spiritual affiliation) that comes in response to what schools dub "the December dilemma." The dilemma has often involved legal challenges, but in recent years it has simmered at a low boil, mostly on school listservs and in missives to teachers and administrators.
And the complaints have become more diverse. Traditional Christians may object that Santa and Rudolph — secular characters — have replaced Jesus as the main figures of the season. Parents who see education as too guarded and testing-focused may consider December a barometer of whether children can still be children and be allowed to celebrate — somehow. Others still would love to hear secular holiday tunes such as Jingle Bells or Frosty the Snowman, and instead squirm in little chairs watching a concert about snowpants — or else feel livid if there's no December event at all. In the mix are the classic complaints from parents who feel the celebrations at their schools are too Christmasy. December seems to have become a proxy for a range of our anxieties.
After decades of marking December with Christmas pageants, complete with devotion to God and Jesus Christ, public schools in the 1960s and 1970s began being forced by courts to reconsider those rituals. Legally, they must protect the free-speech rights of students while also taking care not to be seen as favoring any particular faith or holding anyone captive to non-instructional devotion.
But does respecting everyone mean having to eschew all tradition? Do you need to honor every faith? Or do you secularize the whole experience – and risk turning it into something that isn't familiar to anyone? Is there any way to make parents happy?
Schools tend to take one of three broad approaches. The first is what you might call Modified Christmas, in which most or all activities are at least peripherally related to Christmas, be it performing a play about Santa or drawing wreaths during art. The second model could be called Christmaskwanzakkah, a multicultural mix that may or may not involve any teaching or acknowledgment of the divine. The third model is the No-Holidays Holiday: Schools avoid celebrating any holidays, though they may have an event or a song built around "shared religious values" such as "peace."
One D.C. public-school parent told me that she was told she couldn't talk to her child's kindergarten class about Hanukkah because it violated the school's no-holiday policy. (She asked that her name not be used so she wouldn't be seen as criticizing her child's school.) "Even if you don't bring Christmas into your class, it's everywhere," she said. "The idea that a school can say, 'No, we don't celebrate this' and that makes it go away — it doesn't make it go away, it just means there's no place [in school] for them to think about it the same way they think about math or science or history, and then it just becomes some fable and it's awkward."
Having covered religion in the United States for almost a decade, there are few things more obvious to me than the need for Americans to speak more authentically about their faith — and to listen well when others speak about theirs – throughout the year. But these holiday-winter-peace events matter intensely, too. As hokey and limited as they are, they're one of the only times a big, diverse school like ours gathers for something that's so personal to us all.
It took me a couple of days after the email from the preschool teacher to learn that I had misunderstood and that my son's class just happened to be the one assigned to do the Christmas jingle. My jarred reaction made me realize that I wasn't completely resolved about how to raise a universalist and yet Jewish child.
But my son wore a Santa hat that year, and the world didn't end. And this past week, as I watched his kindergarten class sing Jingle Bells, I found myself getting misty-eyed in the packed school gym.

Issue exists on MC 8.6.3, 8.6.4, and 8.6.5.
When creating a shape to be matted, on one keyframe, then creating another shape on the second keyframe, the shape of the matte should morph from one to another when playing back. Problem is that sometimes when stepping frame by frame, the object will shift position left or right instead of showing the next step in the morphing sequence. Is this a bug? And if so what version is this fixed?
The only work-around we found was to click on the timeline in the record monitor and then the single frame tool would accuerately morph the shape accordingly. The problem is that the VFX editor works with many keyframes so it is nearly impossible to click somewhere on the timeline without clicking another keyframe.
Also when using the tracking feature, zoomed in just 2x's, the right side of the record monitor doesn't update when moving thruogh the sequence. May be a seperate issue but is still used within Animatte.
System Specs: 12-core Mac Pro Ivy Bridge, MAC OSX 10.10.5, M.C. 8.6.4, Nitris DX w/ thunderbolt adapter, Wacom Intuos Pro, 64GB RAM
In my experience this is normal behaviour for the animatte shape, when the keyframe timeline is dull in brightness, the cursor keys move the matte shape, and if you click on the key frame timeline the cursor keys move through the footage. You can zoom in on the key frame timeline (zoom control on left side of the key frame timeline) to get more timeline detail, which may help avoiding selecting an unwanted key frame.
If you use the step forward keys and not the cursor keys you advance in the timeline.
Hey Martin, There is another Animatte issue where copying one matte keyframe to another keyframe will add the matte to the second keyframe as another layer leaving the orginal matte as well. Is this also inate to Animatte as well? If so is there a work-around?
not unless the key frame marker window is white, if not both will move the matter shape.

I am preparing a speech I will be making this Saturday for the Seattle JACL Installation dinner. The theme of the event is "Our Nisei, Okage sama de," or, we are what we are because of you. As I sit here thinking of what I want to say, the words of President Obama's Inauguration Speech come to mind as he talked about the people who made American great.
"It has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor -- who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom."
When I heard these words, I thought of the Nisei in our community who fit this description -- individuals who get things done and in the end prefer to deflect deserved recognition. In particular I think of the Seattle Nisei who became leaders of the Redress Movement which culminated in President Reagan signing the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 calling for an apology and restitution for Japanese Americans who were interned and incarcerated during World War II. These Seattle Nisei were victims of the government's actions, but they didn't just sit back and complain, they did something that made a difference for the country, a step towards what President Obama calls the process of perfecting our nation…[to be continued on Saturday night at the JACL banquet…]

Imagestream Services
The ImageStream platform combines the efficiency and quantitative nature of flow cytometry with the visual power of microscopy. Dr. Hans Minderman, in a consortium agreement with the Amnis Corp., was awarded an R21/R33 grant by the NIH in April 2007 to evaluate the clinical application of this relatively new technology. Through the close collaboration with the Amnis Corp., the facility was invited to be a beta-test site for the ImageStream technology and has since beta-tested two new generations of this platform (the ImageStream-X and the ImageStream-MKII). The continuing collaboration with Amnis Corp (now part of Merck-Millipore) assures that the facility is on the forefront of any new hardware and software developments in this area.

Mother Nature has a way of continually surprising researchers and wildlife experts who think they've seen it all.
There's no shortage of unusual animal friendships that have been documented in the wild, but Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen has managed to capture a special relationship that very few people have ever seen.
Rautiainen had read that there were very few recorded examples of wolves and bears interacting with each other, so he went looking for photos in regions where both these animals can be found. What he stumbled onto was as rare as it is beautiful.
A young female grey wolf and a male brown bear could be seen traveling together and sharing meals every night. Rautiainen returned for 10 days straight, and always spotted the same pair sharing each other's company.
So if cases like this are so rare, what does Rautiainen think brought them together?

It was important to us that the pictures showcased the beauty of Nantucket and you achieved that beyond our expectations. Overall, it was such a fun experience for the whole family. Each time I look through the photographs, I am simply in awe. Thank you, Becky, for your creativity, professionalism and the beautiful images you have captured of our family!
Our family photo session with you was a great experience. The location was great and you ever were able to get Myles to stay long enough to get some really nice shots! We are very happy with the final results.
This was our first family photo shoot ever and Becky was very accommodating, professional and also made it very fun for all of us! She was open to any ideas and requests that we had. Our family photos started out as an anniversary gift to my parents and ended up being a great keepsake for all of us.
Becky was a pleasure to work with. My children were engaged and had a lot fun during their photo shoot! The photos we received were ones that we will cherish. "Thank you Becky for capturing their personalities perfectly!"
To be honest, Bert and I have worked with a number of local photographers on island – for family portraiture and for commercial/business shoots. but, you have been the most wonderful to work with! Thanks for capturing some special moments in our lives! We will cherish these photos forever. I'm sure we will be calling you again soon!

There have been a lot of personality / which-character quizzes going around recently whose quality I've been very disappointed in. Especially those Buzzfeed ones where you just click really big picture squares that all have clip-art copyright text and then at the end it just has a one-sentence result: "You are [result]. So yeah." Can't we put a little effort in this? I was making personality tests for friends on paper when I was 15 and also even at 15 I could already read, so I didn't need big picture squares.
And everyone on Buzzfeed always gets the same result because there's a type of person who takes Buzzfeed character tests and they're all exactly the same. Yes, that means you. There are other results possible but anyone who's different from you doesn't take Buzzfeed character tests. You are an internet-hipster drone. Your quirkiness is imitative.
Your opinions are copied from those you hope are smarter than you; the cute way you speak is just parsing things memes have said with a few words changed. You're hiding behind a bland veneer so no one can see your insecurities within. I have taken it upon myself to create a few much more meaningful personality tests to find out more about who you really are, the way personality-tests should really be done. Enjoy below: Continue reading

What it takes to work at the Olympics
It is many people's dream to work at the Olympics and have the fruits of their labours seen by hundreds of millions of people across the world. For most, though, that dream remains unfulfilled. But many successful bidders, pitchers and interviewees have got there through self-belief, tenacity and a passion for sport, business and/or the arts.
Thousands of new jobs and training opportunities were created around Rio 2016 with a workforce of 90,000 needed. An additional 16,000 staff positions were created just to service 70 new hotels and apartments.
Apart from the obvious roles filled by athletes, officials and coaches there is a diverse range of opportunities from creative jobs in media, technology and design, to marketing, merchandising, planning, managing operations and ticketing, facilities, IT systems and many more. In Rio, there were many vacancies for translators and teachers in the one million English lessons received by 50,000 local volunteers and taxi drivers.
Companies bid for contracts in the areas of human resources, sports equipment, retail, artistic performance, construction, security and catering.
There are paid jobs selecting and working with the 70,000 volunteers, especially if you are a fluent English speaker.
Add to the mix the 20,000 members of the media attending the Games themselves and those employed by contractors, and the opportunities are huge.
For a chance to be there, you need more than just the essentials for any job: the perfectly pitched CV, relevant skills and experience. You also need passion and determination, love of a challenge and the ability to collaborate with others, either in a small team or a cast of thousands.
A good example of all these qualities was seen in the creation of the Rio 2016 Olympic logo and font when two firms – one in Brazil, Tatil Design, and one in the UK, Dalton Maag – were thrown together.
Frederico Gelli of Tatil Design admits he almost gave up when he heard 138 other agencies were competing to bid for the logo design. But he was determined and collaborated with his own team before coming up with the winning logo. He was inspired by the mountains of Brazil and an ancient symbol, which fuelled his passion for the project.
It was 18 months later that Fabio Haag of Dalton Maag met the challenge to create a font replicating the letters in the logo. He and his six-strong team drafted many versions until they settled on the final design.
Other opportunities in the creative sector at Rio 2016 included an artists-in-residence programme for a writer, artist and digital talent.
Much has been written about the legacy of the Olympic Games and this extends to learning skills for the future and the generation of a vast amount of employment.
People who worked on the Olympic Park and the Athletes' Village at London 2012, for example, were entered into apprenticeship schemes for construction and engineering. This included the 2012 Women into Construction Project.
These opportunities at the Games have led to sustainable jobs and careers far outliving the two weeks of the sporting event itself.
Upcoming events following Rio include the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics, Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Careers oversees all the activities.
Ahead of Tokyo 2020, the UK and Japan are already working together on introducing UK companies that contributed to London 2012 to share lessons learned. This is resulting in business opportunities for UK firms, partnerships and ultimately jobs.
Contractors who win bids for projects at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games will have recruitment plans in place long before the event itself, so it is never too early to pursue your dream.

Grab your Cheap Seat for this year's Irish Open with this great Promotion frpm Paddy Power. To check out all the latest Offers and download the Paddy Power Client simple click the banner below :-
Cheap Seats
Cheap Seats – the straight talking, low cost series, that turns raw poker talent into Champions… and all for a mere five quid buy-in, just look at Patrick Clarke.
Don't know who Patrick Clarke is? The pleasure is truly ours - Patrick Clarke was the Irish Open 2014 Champion that took home €250,000 and won his seat via a Cheap Seat qualifier. You don't need a calculator to tell you that's a good return on investment!
Cheap Seats are exclusive to Paddy Power Poker and what makes it even better is the fact that, the only way to get into a Cheap Seats final is through a €5 qualifier so you're less likely to come up against big jawed card sharks.
And if you don't believe us, here's what Clarke had to say….
"I thought the Cheap Seats series was a great idea. They consisted of €5 R/A qualifiers into a weekly Grand Final that was qualify only, meaning that no one could just buy directly in to the super sat. I started playing them in December and as it turns out I won my seat the 1st time I made the Grand Final! I played my R/A game on the Wednesday night to win into the grand final on the Thursday, and because I started playing back in December, the fields weren't as big so there were big overlays. I only had to beat 7 players in my Grand Final to win my seat, early bird catches the worm and all that."
Cheap Seats Schedule
Daily Feeder to the Cheap Seats Grand Final @19:30
A Cheap Seats Grand Final will take place every second Wednesday night @ 20:30 until [November] and from then on will take place weekly.
One additional Irish Open seat will be awarded for every €3,500 in the prize-pool of each Final and winners will be joining us in Dublin in 2015 for one of the best live poker festivals in the world.
The Cheap Seats Grand Final will take place every week, and remember, no direct buy-ins will be accepted - you must win your Grand Final seat in our daily Cheap Seat tournaments
Terms and Conditions
1.Players who win more than one Irish Open seat on paddypowerpoker.com will be permitted to transfer the additional seat to a different player. The player must email firstname.lastname@example.com immediately after qualification to request the change of name, and the new player name must be supplied at least one week prior to the Irish Open event. For those who win the seat in the final 7 days leading up to the Irish Open, they must send the change of name the day after the satellite in order for it to be possible. The replacement players will not be eligible for the Sole Survivor promotion.
2.Players who qualify for the PPP Irish Open 2015 main event on paddypowerpoker.com will be eligible for the Sole Survivor promotion, whereby the longest lasting paddypowerpoker.com qualifier in the live Irish Open event will win €50,000 cash (added to the prizepool by paddypowerpoker.com
3.Players agree that by participating in the Sole Survivor promotion they undertake to wear branding as supplied by paddypowerpoker.com at this event and to take part in any related promotional activity as stated by paddypowerpoker.com for a period of six months following the event into which the qualification process took place.

Pear No. 2
7 x 5 Oil
Carole Rodrigue copyright 2014
Here is the first Daily Painting of 2014! This one is available through eBay for a very low opening bid of $0.99 only. It is painted in the classical realism style, but alla prima.
Many of you have asked what is a daily painting. Daily paintings are an exercise and also part of a movement that was started several years ago by Duane Keiser. Since then many artists have participated in this movement. Many quickly give up or do it only temporarily as an exercise, and many have gone on to develop successful careers as daily painters, such as Abbey Ryan.
Daily paintings are quick studies completed in less than a day. The purpose of the exercise for me is to hone my skills, force myself to keep working in the studio, and to keep my creative energy in a constant flow. Through these exercises, I have noticed development in my art as well as other areas of my life. Let me note that there is a huge difference between a daily painting and a painting that has taken many hours and days to develop. This is why you will see a difference in price also. Works which are not daily paintings take much more work, have more detail, and have several layers of paint to achieve the desired result.
So there you have it, the daily painting movement explained really briefly. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. I'm always pleased to answer!

You work in a Network Marketing company and you feel things are going well. You have the motivation and talking to people. Yes, you get endangering one or two into your business, great.
You'll have more motivation and work hard every day .. But there are longer and longer between you get somone into your business. Many of them you have started are stopped and nothing happens in your business. You fight but you begin to doubt that you can succeed.
Then you take a break and as soon you do that, you will soon stop. The moment you are not active, your team can feel it and one by one they stop.
Now you can choose to start over, or you can change company.
Make a decision, but do not ever take a break, before your team is so great that it run by itself. Where it grows without doing anything.

A pilgrimage centre with the only temple in India dedicated to Brahma, the Creator, Pushkar is the venue of an annual camel fair.
Pushkar in Rajasthan is a favored destination of North India. Hundreds of foreigners throng this place all through the year. The Pushkar fair is an important occassion when tourists flock Pushkar, however it is not only at this time of the year when tourism flourishes. Pushkar is the flavour of every season. Pushkar is a pilgrimage site and is considered one of the holiest sites in India. The semicircular Pushkar Lake is believed to be extremely holy and has 52 bathing ghats or steps along its banks. Devotees bathe in Pushkar Lake and pray at the Temple dedicated to Lord Brahma nearby. Pushkar is home to the only Brahma Temple in India.
The town of Pushkar is far from the noisy environment of the city. When he reaches the Ghats, particularly the Ghats near the Sarovar Tourist Bungalow, he gets refreshed and loses his tiredness of his journey. Pushkar is situated at the foot of the hills which add to its beauty. Five rivers, Suprabha, Kanaka, Prachi Nanda, and Saraswati flow here and make the place more beautiful and serene.
Brahma Temple Pushkar
Brahma Temple Pushkar One of the major thriving temple of Brahma, in Pushkar can be identified by it red spire and by the image of Hans (the swan considered sacred to Lord Brahma).

As you think through the process and investigate the potential to become a homeowner, you may see opportunities arise (and more in the next few years) to do a rent-to-own property purchase. Basically, the owner is willing to accept you as a tenant with the option to purchase the property in a couple of years. This may seem like an enticing and great opportunity, but generally, it isn't. They're typically a very bad idea for buyers, and here's why.
First, most of the rent-to-own deals are offered by savvy investors whose purpose is to maximize their profit by selling homes to inexperienced and generally non-creditworthy buyers. That means you, as the buyer, are getting a less-than-stellar deal — many times, much less than stellar, so the seller/owner can make an outsized investment profit on his risked capital.
The reality is that you are probably looking for a rent-to-own deal because you can't get traditional mortgage financing, whether that's due to bad credit, having too low an income, or not having a downpayment. This means instead of getting a long-term, fixed rate bank mortgage at a very low rate, you are effectively paying a very high interest rate so the investor/seller can profit. And that's not a good deal for you.
In addition, rent-to-owner buyers usually pay an above-market rent, with the amount above the market rate being credited to you as your downpayment at the time of purchase in 1-2 years. That above-market rent is non-refundable if you don't buy. In addition, to actually buy the property, you have to be able to get financing and if you can't get it now, you probably won't be able to get it in 12 months. This means you will probably fail to make the purchase and lose all the additional rent that you would have been better off saving for a downpayment when you can get financing and buy a home through a non-rent-to-own opportunity. Few rent-to-own homes actually close escrow where the renter purchases the property; most fail and then they continue to be a renter, and with less money in savings to boot!
In addition, since the rent-to-own homes only make up a small percentage of the available homes in the market, the chances that one of them is a really good fit for what you want, need, and can afford are slim. Remember, you should only buy property if it is a great fit for you and you plan to own it a long, long time. It's unlikely a rent-to-own will fit that description. Not to mention that the seller/investor is going to probably demand an above-market price on the property in exchange for the option to purchase, so you'll lose some wealth there too.
If you are not currently financeable for a long-term, fixed-rate mortgage, don't fall into the trap of thinking that some rent-to-own deal will be a great opportunity for you. In most cases, you will be better off to work on your credit profile and score, save some money for a downpayment, increase your income if possible, pay off your debts/car/credit cards, and shop around for a few years to find a property that is actually a great fit for you. In the long run, you'll earn a lot more wealth this way over thinking some rent-to-own deal is the great opportunity you've been seeking.

Often when we pray, we do so expecting that God will answer quickly and in the way that we desire. Well, reality tells us that this scenario is not always the way things play out.
Leading up to and at the recent Oral Bible Storytelling (OBS) workshop in Wewak, many prayers were offered for a variety of subjects. These prayers included getting the participants to and from the course safely and in a timely manner, good opportunities for the participants to learn the stories well, health and safety for those involved with the course as well as for family members who stayed behind in the villages, and a myriad of other things.
For one of the participants who was planning to attend the course, his wife and son were killed in a car accident just before the course began. We want people to be able to come and learn more of God's Word, but this man was not able to come as he had many family issues that needed his attention.
For reasons we don't fully know, transportation is a challenge for this particular group of language communities. At the beginning of this course, we didn't even know if everyone would get to Wewak for the course. Through more prayer and a lot of communication with different drivers, trucks, and participants, they did arrive in Wewak, even though a few were a bit late.
As the time approached for the workshop to be completed, transportation again looked like it could be difficult. More prayers. Multiple attempts to contact drivers and trucks didn't seem to give a solid workable plan. Things happen, but sometimes that can bring more stress.
Thursday morning arrived and there was one truck which could take half of the participants home. But, what about the other half? After a trip to town to contact drivers, there was still not a confirmed solution. It was getting getting later in the day. What to do? Prayers continued for a workable solution. One of the SPES team members walked out of the office to talk to those who remained about what the next plan should be, possibly to leave the next day. At that moment, a truck drove in and was ready to take the rest of the group home. God heard our cries! Thank you, Lord.
The participants did work diligently to learn several Christmas related stories that they are now able to take back and share in their villages. Some of these people seem to face some roadblocks when they take the Bible stories back to share. Please pray earnestly that God's Word could break through the roadblocks and that these stories would have great impact in their communities.

Interview | Naw A---, (female, 46), B--- village, Thandaunggyi Township, Toungoo District (January 2015)
The following Interview was conducted by a community member trained by KHRG to monitor local human rights conditions. It was conducted in Toungoo District in January 2015 and is presented below translated exactly as it was received, save for minor edits for clarity and security.[1] This interview was received along with other information from Toungoo District, including six other interviews, 103 photographs and 20 video clips.[2]
Ethnicity: Karen
Religion: Baptist
Marital Status: Married
Occupation: Farming
Position: Villager
What is your name aunty?[3]
My name is Naw A---.
How old are you?
I am 46 years old.
What do you do [for work]?
I do farming.
Is there anything else that you do?
No, nothing.
Where do you live?
I live in B--- village.
The village is situated in which township?
In Taw Oo [Toungoo].[4]
Do you have a family?
How many people [are there] in your family?
[There are] nine people in my family.
How old is your eldest [child]?
Twenty-four years old.
How about the youngest one?
The youngest is four years old.
How long have you been living here?
I came here to this village when I was over ten years old.
When exactly?
I can't remember but we have been living here for about 30 or 40 years already.
Where did you live before?
Mu Theh, in Ler Doh [Kyaukkyi] Township area, [Nyaunglebin District].
When you first came [to this village] how many houses were there?
There were only two or three houses.
Did you have any problems when you moved here?
My father did logging and farming when I first came here to this village. We did farming and I got married and we settled down here.
Currently, how many houses are there [in the village]?
There are now [censored for security] houses.
How about religion? What do most people believe in?
[Most people are] Baptist.
Are there any armed groups that have harassed [people in] your village or burnt down your village?
How about after the ceasefire?[5] Are there any cases such as rich people coming in and confiscating the land?
No, but now [land confiscation] is going to happen.
How will it happen?
We heard [that] a company will come to [the village area] and confiscate our lands. We heard that they will pay us compensation. However, if we sell our lands to them we will not have any land to work on. That is why we have to stop them.
Which company? Do you know the name of the company?
Kay Too Ma Tee Development [Company].
Where is the company from?
[They are] from Taw Oo [Toungoo] [Town].
[Where is the] company from? Just Taw Oo [Toungoo] or other places?
[They are just] from Taw Oo [Toungoo] [Town].
Do you know the company leaders' or managers' names?
I do not know [their names].
When did you hear about it? A long time ago, or a short period of time ago? Just months?
Yes. Not even a year ago.
[Do] the farms that you work on have land grants?
I have land grants but not for all [of my] lands. In the past they [Burma/Myanmar government land surveyors] [conducted land surveys]; some people might have four or five acres [of land] but they applied [saying they] only have two acres of lands. In the past they [villagers] have to pay either rice or money [as tax per acre of land]. That is why they [villagers] applied saying they have less land [so they do not have to pay as much tax]. Another thing [the government land surveyors] said, "You [villagers] have to apply [for permission to work on your land] and pay 7,000 kyat (US $6.43)[6] for each [acre of land you intend to work on].
They said this recently [or a] long time ago?
Not very long ago. It was last year [2014].
[You heard this] from [the government] land surveyor?
Land surveyors award land grants in the monasteries. They [the villagers] have to apply for land grants [for their lands] which have no [documents]. They [land surveyors] will confiscate the land if they [villagers] do not apply [for land grants].
How many acres of land do you currently have?
Fifteen acres in total [but only] five [acres] have land grants, the rest do not.
How many of your lands have land grants?
Three acres of my lands have one land grant and [a further] two acres have [another] land grant.
Five acres of your land already have land grants?
Yes. And we forbade [the company from confiscating] the rest of the lands.
You heard that a company will come and confiscate land?
Like my farm, if people [land surveyors] measure truthfully it would be seven or eight acres [of land]. We have to pay 7,000 kyat (US $6.43) for each acre and apply [for permission to work on them]. This is why we applied for only a few acres [of our land].
How many villages are going to have land confiscated?
Five: Bay Tha Nee Teh Kon [village], Wet Khauk Sein [village], Mya [village], Thet Kel Kyay [village] and Pauk Hseik village.
Five villages? How about the other villages?
Sin Hswel Myaw village?
Yes, will that village be included [in the land confiscation]?
Are these villages Karen or Burmese villages?
Only Bay Tha Nee Teh Kon village is Karen. The rest of the villages are Burmese.
Lands from most villages that you mentioned do not have [land grants] right?
No, like my village, B---, no one has [land grants].[7]
I mean for the farmlands.
For the farmlands some people have [land grants].
On which day did they [villagers] submit the objection letter?[8]
I did not ask them [villagers who submitted the objection letter].
Did [villagers from] all five villages submit the objection letter?
Yes, they [villagers from the other villages] also submitted [the objection letter], but they do not know when they [township leaders] will get back to them.
How many acres are there that they [villagers] prohibited [the company] from confiscating?
From only our B--- village?
Yes. Do you know [how many acres] the land owners objected to?
I am not sure if they said 400 or 4,000 acres of land. I am not sure if it was 4,000 or 1,002 acres of land or 20 acres. I did not ask them [the villagers]. Their names are in the objection letter. It might be in the hundreds [of acres of land].
Over four hundred [acres]?
[Naw A--- did not answer].
Was there any reply after [the villagers] sent the objection letter?
No, not yet.
For the other villages [not previously mentioned], the company is not going to confiscate their lands?
They have not come in [to those villages] yet. They [currently] are in Hpaw Say Hpeh [village]. They have started buying [lands], but I am not sure if it is the company [Kay Too Ma Tee Development] or whatever [other wealthy individuals]. We heard that they have started buying [lands].
You have to pay 7,000 kyat (US $6.43) to apply [to work on] each acre of land. Are the villagers okay with this?
Not all the villagers applied [for permission to work on the land]. They applied for only a few [acres] of their lands, because the more land that they apply to work on, the more money they have to pay. It is like that.
You [villagers] sent the objection letter?
Yes, like they [land surveyors] said, the company will come in and they are going to confiscate the farmlands that do not have documents. That is why the villagers sent the objection letter.
Did they [land surveyors] say when they [the company] are coming?
No they did not. Firstly, we have seen that they [have begun] to clear the land and we heard that they will clear [the rest of the land] and then sell it. I heard that the villagers [whose lands have already been cleared] are from Wet Khauk Sein village; after [the land was cleared] I heard from people who knew about it. I did not know about it before. Later on, we heard that the company is coming to look for land to buy. I do not know how much more land they need. They [land surveyors] are saying that they are going to take more land, so [this is why] the villagers submitted the objection letter.
Regarding education, is there a school in your village?
Yes, there is.
Up to what standard [is the school]?
Up to fourth standard.[9]
[It is a] primary school?
Yes, it is.
Is the school free [for students to attend]?
No, the teachers who come to teach go home often. They come and teach for only 20 days each month. They go back to their [villages] and sometimes it takes 10, 14 or 15 days [for each visit] and the students are not learning.[10]
How many male teachers and female teachers are there?
[There is] one male teacher and three female teachers.
Where are the teachers from?
I do not know where they are from. They are Burmese. They come to the village and do not socialise [with] the villagers.
[Did] they [villagers] build houses for them?
Yes, [villagers built] the house and the school. They are self-reliant. The teachers currently are not trying to socialise with the villagers; they just stay on their own. The teachers in the past visited the villagers. Some [current] teachers said to some of the students that they teach: "I am teaching not because of having good-will, [not because I want to] but because I have a duty to teach."
[Do] the teachers change yearly?
Some teachers moved [to other places] because they had problems with villagers as they were corrupt and they dared not stay a long time.[11] Some teachers did not teach full-time. They taught as [and when] they wanted. The villagers talked to them about it and they did not like this and they requested to move [to another village]. Now, young teachers are coming [to teach]. Anywhere that you live you have to deal with the students' parents and the students. They should be mutually visiting with one another. Currently, it is not like that. They let the students play and they will sleep [or be] on their phone. This is why the students are not doing well in their education.
How much [salary] do they get monthly?
They said 100,000 kyat (US $91.85) or over 100,000 kyat. Moreover, the villagers [also] have to support them [the teachers]. Each of the students' parents has to provide two milk tins (0.50 kg. or 1.10 lb.)[12] of rice to the teachers. For firewood, each house has to provide one bundle of firewood each month.
They just come and stay without working?
That is what [I am saying]. We are ok with providing [rice and firewood] but we want our students taught well. We will support whatever they [the students] need. There is a big weakness with the teachers.
How long have they been gone [back to their home villages]?
They left around the 10th [December 2014]. They just got back yesterday [January 6th 2015]. They come and teach in the jungle [remote areas] and the education minister does not come [to check] so they [teachers] are just working out of duty [not for the improvement of the students' education].
How many students are there?
There are over 100 students according to the students that I saw.
How much are the school fees? Is the school free [for students to attend]?
Yes [it is free], it has been [free for] two years and the [Burma/Myanmar] government [provides] support but not really fully: one dozen books, one bag, two pencils, and 1,000 kyat [to each student]. For the one backpack that the teacher brings, it might be from Karen Education Department's [KED] side. They provide one rice box, one umbrella and one backpack. That might be from the [Karen] Education Department.
They are the group that support the students?
Yes, they are. They are KNU [Karen National Union] employees. They are not related to the [Burma/Myanmar] government.
Is there a clinic in the village?
No, if your children get sick you have to carry them to the hospital.
In Taw Oo [Toungoo] [Town].
[Are there] any closer clinics?
No, it [would be] good if we had a medic [in the village]. Currently we have to carry each other [to the hospital] if we feel sick.
Is there a mid-wife [in the village]?
There is [a mid-wife] in Wet Khauk Sein village. Here in this village, we just treat [mothers] in a traditional way.
Both education and healthcare [improvement] are priority needs?
Yes, they are. Our children here who are in third or fourth standard, they cannot read or write correctly. They [teachers] stay on their own. The children have to play if they [the teachers] ask the children to play. It has been many years that we have been dealing with the young teachers.
Do the villagers have collective activities [village agency strategies] like organising each other and requesting the government [to build a clinic in the village]? Have NGOs [non-governmental organisations] come and visited here?
Yes, they [have] come.
Did you request the NGOs [to build a clinic in the village]?
We did but we do not know what they [NGO] thought.
Which NGO group? Are they [NGO workers] Karen?
They are Karen. Thra R---'s daughter is one of them. She works [in B--- village] and in Ler Doh [Town] as well.
You [villagers] can go only to Taw Oo [Toungoo] [Town] [for treatment]?
Yes, it is a problem during rainy season.
[There are] no other places [clinics or hospitals] to go to near this village?
No, there are not. Baw Gyi village does not have a clinic or hospital either.
Yes, so if you are seriously ill you have to go quickly. It is not easy [to survive] if you do not go quickly.
Is it [the situation] getting better regarding transportation?
Yes, a little. It is better in hot season. If it is rainy season you have to carry the sick, as you can only go on foot.
A car cannot go?
No, they cannot [because of the mud]. Even a motorbike cannot go on the road. That is why like you said education and healthcare [improvement] is a big need here.
Is there any company [which] does gold mining here?
No, not yet.
They [have] not confiscated [land] yet?
Yes, they have started land confiscation in Hpaw Say [Hpaw Say Hpeh village] already.
Is that a Burmese village?
Yes. It is a Burmese village. They have confiscated a lot of [land] already.
Thanks, do you have anything to say finally? [Is there] anything that you want to express regarding your problems or experiences?
Regarding problems, for us living here in this place we can survive only when we have land, with no land we cannot survive. If these things [land confiscation] keep happening to our children in the future, there will be no improvement.
Thank you.
Yes, thanks.

A couple and homeless veteran have been arrested after being involved in a GoFundMe scam that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, officials said Thursday.
Katelyn McClure and Mark D'Amico were taken into custody surrendered to authorities on Wednesday and were released. Philadelphia Police said Thursday homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt was arrested in the city by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.
Bobbitt remains in Philadelphia pending an extradition hearing.
All three have been charged with theft by deception and conspiracy to commit theft by deception.
McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, started theAccording to Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina, it was all a scam.
"The entire campaign was predicated on a lie," said Coffina. "Less than an hour after the GoFundMe campaign went live, McClure, in a text exchange with a friend, stated that the story about Bobbitt assisting her was 'completely made up.' She did not run out of gas on an I-95 off-ramp, and he did not spend his last $20 to help her. Rather, D'Amico, McClure and Bobbitt conspired to fabricate and promote a feel-good story that would compel donors to contribute to their cause." fundraising campaign last year after claiming that Bobbitt gave McClure his last $20 to buy gas. The effort raised $400,000.
According to authorities, D'Amico and McClure had known Bobbitt for at least a month before launching the GoFundMe in Novemeber 2017, and had become acquainted with Bobbitt during their frequent trips to a local gambling casino.
The fundraising campaign raised nearly $403,000 through over 14,000 donors. GoFundMe says all donors will receive a full refund.

I was playing on a ZB server on Tuesday. The previous rounds had been spent on a deathmatch server, but we all moved onto a TDM server.
Round 1
It was me and Osirix (whose ping was abysmal even compared to mine), versus 5 others; GUANCHE, peregrino, Tormenta, and 2 other players, all of who had better pings. It was looking pretty bad, but all of a sudden, they turned on each other! What a bunch of n00bz, this is TDM, not DM!
We owned, and triumphed.
Round 2
Osirix refused to spawn after a minute or so, so it was me versus 4 others. Fortunately, the teamkilling continued, and when I wasn't scoring for kills, I was scoring for kill assists. A guy named Chimpix joined, and he was a decent enough player that we could work together for an even greater victory.
In all fairness, though, GUANCHE didn't TK anyone, and was a match for me close up (I'm a long range fighter, who likes to keep you at arm's length while SCing you to death ). Isn't this the greatest ZB coup ever?

Putin: Russia needs own investigation into doping allegations
President Putin says Russia needs to carry out its own investigation into doping allegations. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
It's all smiles as President Vladimir Putin meets with Russian athletes. The meetings come as Russia could be banned from international athletics, including the 2016 Olympic Games, after an anti-doping commission report on Monday alleged widespread corruption and collusion that added up to a state-sponsored drugs culture. The commission, set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency found a "deeply rooted culture of cheating" in Russian athletics. Putin in his first comments on the allegation says Russia needs to cooperate with international organizations but added that Russia will carry out its own investigation. (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN, SAYING: "We must carry out our own, internal investigation and to ensure the most open, I want to stress this - the most open professional cooperation with international anti-doping structures. Here in Russia we must do all we can to get rid of this problem." He added that if problems are found someone would have to personally assume responsibility for the issue and that those who have not violated any rules -- they should not take responsibility for those who may have committed violations.
