Two years have flown by as a member of this versatile community. I can't let this anniversary go by without taking stock on what has happened in that time for me.
One of the main reasons for joining the community was to learn how to drive Canvas. I've learned so much. But more importantly I've learned that I don't need to know it all at once at the beginning. Instead I need to know where to find things out when I need them. Joining groups, reading blogs, joining discussions, asking questions, using the guides has helped me to slowly build my knowledge with purposeful reasons each time.
Horse Before the Cart. Purpose first, Canvas second.
Even though I can't attend the many Canvas conferences that occur the learning from these is still available to everyone. Watching videos of sessions and even being able to attend remotely has been amazing.
Get Ready to Binge-Watch InstructureCarn!
Another reason for joining was to meet other Canvas users and swap ideas. Initially I thought that would just be in Australia! APAC I've been so impressed with the global sharing and support available and the camaraderie amongst Canvas users. There is so much wisdom in the collective genius of the community and people are so willing to share it. Blows me away every day.
The support given so freely in the community has encouraged me to try new things, ponder the purpose then in turn support others.
What does Community mean to me?
Instructure does their very best to listen to us,the users, when we have ideas to improve the Canvas experience for our learners. How cool is that!
Shameless plug for an idea - Speech to Text in Rich Content Editor in Windows OS. Make it richer!
Bonus Giggles
I have really enjoyed the banter in discussion and the shared laughs. What a fabulous group of people.
Thanks Team Canvas!

Upgrade wastes with industrial biotech!
At the very core of the EU circular economy model and recently proposed review of waste targets is the importance of changing mind-sets and habits related to waste. This is crucial for limiting landfill, preserving the environment and ultimately moving away from a throw-away society. We are now finding that one man's waste is another man's gold mine. Increasingly, clever entrepreneurs are setting out on taking full advantage of the opportunities from 'byproducts' and 'waste' by using industrial biotechnology.
Do not discard food residues
Being relatively easy to handle due to the predictable quantity and quality of the waste, waste streams from food processing industries have the potential to create economic value when integrated into biorefinery and/or industrial biotechnology processes. The resulting products and their possible applications are manifold and simultaneously bring considerable environmental and social benefits. At the local level in particular, such solutions have the potential to greatly contribute to regional growth and job creation.
For example, a German project has recently successfully demonstrated how limonene from the citrus fruit processing industry can be turned into perillic acid, which can act as a substitute for chemical preservatives in the 'natural' cosmetics industry . As well as being an environmentally friendly option, this idea has many additional applications, and is highly profitable too! To see just how spot-on the technology is, click here.
The use of citrus fruit waste is not only sought after in Germany; in 2014, Japanese researchers have managed to turn orange waste into biobutanol, a highly potent fuel that can be blended into normal gasoline.
Crustacean processing waste also has great potential through the use of industrial biotechnology. Take for example this technical feasibility project in the UK called iCRAB which demonstrated that the co-fermentation of crab shells and ryegrass is a good idea. The extracted chitosan has potential for both commodity and high value applications, and the cellulosic part can be easily converted into lactic acid. Within the Chibio project, an international consortium is looking to develop an integrated biorefinery to transform crustacean shell waste from all over the world into drop-in and novel chemical intermediates to produce high value and high performing biobased polymers.
In Scotland, the company Celtic Renewables uses the byproducts of whisky production within fermentation processes to generate fuels. Value has also been created through the ANIMPOL project which focused on the conversion of animal waste from slaughterhouses into biodegradable biopolymers such as PHAs. Biotechnological processes do not dismiss plant oil wastes as a feedstock either, in fact, EU-funded project BIO-SURFEST has succeeded in producing truly sustainable biosurfactants and ester oils from such waste streams.
Changing wastes
The trickier waste streams are the unpredictable, non-homogeneous ones, such as municipal solid waste. FP7 project Waste2Go is currently working on a value-added alternative to burning the biogenic fraction of municipal solid waste by turning it into chemicals using industrial biotechnology. Several companies have found processes that enable the production of biobased fuels, chemicals and material from landfill and mixed organic wastes. While Fiberight and Ineos Bio both produce biofuels from these wastes, they have opted for different pre-treatment steps. Fiberight first thermo-mechanically treat the waste to recuperate the biomass before using it for fermentation into biofuels. On the other hand, Ineos Bio have opted for the gasification of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste as a first treatment step. The subsequent conversion of the syngas is done by bacterial biocatalysts to produce bioethanol or chemical building blocks such as ethylene (see video here). This step is actually no other than the biotechnological conversion of C1 gases which you can read about in greater detail here.
Wasting water? Wasting resources!
Then there are the fascinating stories in the making. Plant-based food company Alpro and Ghent University have developed a simple concept: feeding Alpro's wastewater to microalgae. The question is what to do with the obtained biomass because it turns out the algae do not degrade easily and cannot be fermented. However, they can serve as shrimp feed. The downside is that EU regulation forbids the consumption of shrimps that have been indirectly fed by wastewater. However, this regulation may change in the future with a COST action aimed at establishing new effluent quality criteria which could safeguard the reuse of wastewaters.

SHI to Share LNG Construction Technology with Cochin
India's Cochin Shipyard Ltd has entered into a deal with South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd on exchanging technology for construction of planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers for the country's gas utility Gail.
"Cochin Shipyard has signed an agreement with Samsung Heavy Industries to collaborate on building LNG ships," Indian financial daily Live Mint cited a shipping ministry official as saying.
Neither CSL nor SHI replied yet to emails sent by World Maritime News seeking comment.
Cochin expressed interest in building the said vessels in August last year. However, Cochin, like the majority of local shipbuilders, lack the necessary know-how and experience in building these sophisticated ships, and will probably have to outsource for the purpose.
Potential bidder could also be L&T Shipbuilding Ltd, a unit of Larsen and Toubro Ltd, (L&T Ltd) which has partnered up with South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries on the project.
Gail India Ltd is about to issue a new tender for the construction of nine LNG carriers which is expected to facilitate the bidding process and remove hurdles that have prolonged the project.
The previous tender has been scrapped after it failed to attract bidders. The initial plan envisaged for the third of the newbuilds to be built locally so as to boost Indian shipbuilding capabilities.
However, it seems that this very precondition turned away international bidders as they were not that eager to share their technology with local builders.
In order for Gail to be able to start its import activities from USA to India in 2017, the tender should be finalized and awarded by May.

The flames of atmospheric reentry envelop me.
I'm not sure why, but that sparks a memory cascade. A bundle of missing events that Oracle left deep within my psyche opens up and spills its contents across my mind.
— they are whispering to each other, watching me in the training room as jets of flame cover me. "And he's not… activating the power?" Oracle asks.
Doc shakes his head. "No. He's completely immune to heat and combustion. Regardless of whether his power is on or not. Not only heat, either. Highly resistant to physical force, as well."
"Without his power on," Oracle says. "It's different. He's different."
"Yes. He's unlike the other clones or Megajoule."
"Why is he different?"
"I don't know—
—you mean, he's different?" Cynic asks Doc. "He's a clone. Aside from the glasses, he's identical to the others."
"His Affect," Doc says. "It's different from the others. The others match Megajoule's Affect coloration perfectly. This one is different. He's bronze, where the others are gold."
"This one is different," she repeats. "Why?"
"If it's really an expression of his identity, it would mean that somehow, he views himself as different—
—kid, come here," Doc says to Thirty-One. "What's wrong?"
Thirty-One, maybe ten years old at this point, approaches Doc like he can't see where he's going. He makes sure of each step by prodding the tile ahead with his toes. Doc notices this. "You can't see?"
Thirty-One frowned and bowed his head in shame. "Are you going to take me away?"
Doc, who had spent years walling up his heart to this business, who had overcome his night terrors with alcohol and constantly checking his bank account, was moved to help the boy. "Hang on." He brought the boy to the medical facilities in the lab and tested his eye-sight with one of the technicians there.
"You need glasses," Doc said. "I'll put an order in for some."
Thirty-One hesitated. "Glasses?"
"Yeah, like the one he's wearing." Doc pointed at the technician. "Just like them."
"Not like Megajoule?" Thirty-One asked.
"No. He… well… he didn't, at your age—"
If I'm not like Megajoule, who am I like?
The ground swells up beneath me. The world stretches until it takes up half my universe like the event horizon of a black hole, stretches until—
When I open my eyes again, it is night time, and I am resting at the bottom of a crater fifteen feet deep. Bark and branches litter the earth around me, drifts of dust cover part of my legs. I cradle Archimedes' suit to my chest. I rise to my knees, get oriented. I climb.
I am deep within a forest. I can't see worth a damn, since I lost my glasses. When the Fear possessed me, it didn't bother to grab my goggles with the suit.
I flex my fingers at the edge of the crater and stretch my neck. It's really under my control again
Whispering skitters out of the thick forest surrounding me. These are not the mutterings of animals, they are the voices at the end of the universe. My brothers hiss into my ear: "You are alive and we are dead." Bedevil moans from the trees.
Flashfire: "Meggggeeeaaaaaaaa…"
A chorus of madness: "MEEEEEEEGGGGGAAAAAAA!"
Five feet out, the trees crack. They shift and groan as if an immense creature pushes at them from behind, barely contained by their trunks. Megajoule's face snarls in pain, stretched over the inky black behind him like an ill fitting mask. The skin sags, the eye-holes don't align right with the eyes underneath. Only at certain angles do they line up.
His voice warbles as he screams at me. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" It presses against the trees, as if they mimic the prison inside my mind.
I grin. Flex my fingers again just to be sure. I wasn't confident that would work. "My girlfriend gave me the idea. And you can thank Tim Prince for that, too."
"It… will not HOLD!" Megajoule shrieks.
I ignore him in favor of my surroundings. I'll be honest, I'm not feeling much of anything. I think I pulled a move similar to Epione, where she put armor around her heart. I didn't want to be like that forever, but it was good to know for an emergency.
Now that I've restrained the Fear by my Affect, I can find a way to link up with the others. First things first, finding out where I am. Nothing in the immediate vicinity has any clues. I can't even tell what hemisphere I'm in, not without my thermal sense. I can't feel the ambient temperature.
Without eyesight, my best sense would be my thermal sense. I close my eyes to let my power guide me.
My thermal sense shows me hundreds of people surrounding me.
I start; open my eyes. Nothing.
Weird. I try again.
Hundreds and hundreds of people. They scream out. "You buried us! You forgot!" My own voice chanting at me in chorus. Hundreds of my brothers. They charge at me.
I trip backward, rolling into the impact crater. Megajoule howls out: "GAAAAAYYYYEEEEEBBBAAAA!" and the trees holding him crack apart. He bounds down the pit, an enormous cold spot within my thermal sense.
I open my eyes. There's nothing there, but his voice gibbers and grows louder as he rushes toward me.
I let go of my power.
A single figure rushes down the pit at me. Instead of a monster, there is only a regular sized Megajoule woven out of black coils and ink. He tackles me. We fall. He rolls with my arm snared in his legs. He dislocates my shoulder. Agony spreads across my arm, almost knocking me out again.
I can't let the Fear take control. I grit my teeth and kick his jaw hard. He flops backward, flailing wildly, the lower part of his head ruptured by my decisive blow. I don't let up. I stomp him into a puddle. I stomp until I squish his body into the dirt.
Once he's gone, I sit back in the crater, my heart racing and my lungs burning. My arm is on fire.
Except, when I test it, it's not dislocated. The pain is there, sure, but it's not out of place at all. Then, I notice my fingers squabbling at the dirt without my permission. A chill runs down my spine. I try to force them to stop but they do not listen to me. They scratch and scratch at the dirt, at the black spot that Megajoule became.
"So, I can't… use my power…" I grimace at my out-of-control hand.. That makes all of this much harder. That wasn't necessarily the answer but I wasn't about to test it.
I can live without my power for a bit. I just need to reach Bedevil and the others.
Despite my blurry vision, I can see that the night sky is full of stars. Which means I am far from any city. Another hitch in the plan. The Fear lurks in my head, looking for another opportunity to attack me. It says nothing to me, and I imagine it won't.
I get up. I need to vacate the area and get my bearings. I notice that I have a cut on my arm from when I tumbled into the pit. Drops of blood fall into the dirt. My power isn't protecting me.
I still have Archimedes' suit, though, and that will at least provide some protection. I put the suit on and feel the mesh vibrate into life. Good. It still works, which means it can absorb some damage.
Without any clue of where I am, the worst thing I can do is just start meandering with no goal. If my aim is to link back up with Bedevil, then I should try to find some civilization. At the same time, I'm a wanted fugitive in OPI territory.
I need water and food, too. Might be tough but I'm not Superman, and right now I'm no better than a regular person in a suit of armor. If capes come after me, that's basically useless.
I close my eyes and listen for something to go on. Some kind of clue.
Thunder in the distance. The chattering of night birds and insects. The soft sigh of wind.
Okay. Water, first. I can last much longer without food, but without water I'll be dead in a few days. I can collect rainwater, maybe. First, I need some distance between me and this crater.
I hike away for about thirty minutes, trying not to leave too many tracks, when the thunder I heard earlier materializes into a storm. Rain falls in torrents on the forest canopy, which filters it into a heavy drizzle. I drink up what I can. How to collect it, though?
Worst case, I rip some leaves free of trees and try to collect some.
That goes about as well as holding a leaf up to rainfall would be expected to go. I'm left with a wet leaf the size of my hand. Crap. I'm going to need to get better at this. While I stand there and soak in the rain, I realize how out of my depth I am. This is really rock bottom. Wandering through the forest with no glasses, stuck in a rainstorm, and far from any help.
The Fear rumbles in my head like the thunder in the sky. If I let up for just a second, it's going to take over.
Being stripped of all resources has its advantages. I don't have much time to sit and think, and wallow in where I am. Right now, all I can do is focus on surviving. I don't really need shelter or fire. My suit will protect me and I seem to still be immune to temperature even with my power bound to the Fear.
With the storm, it's now too dark for me to move forward. I find a tree and rest up against it.
I close my eyes and let the rain drown out the sounds of
There is an uncountable infinity between the number zero and the number one. This infinity exists between the closing of your eyes and dawn. In the void between one and zero it waits, expanding further and further the more zeros you add behind the decimal point. Each zero represents more emptiness. Each zero is another step away from home.
Each zero is another inch further that you sink.
No. This is my Affect. You're trapped in here with me.
I rise.
Our battle occurs at the speed of neurons firing. Bronze fire dawns across the dreamscape. I rise on a surging wave of colors on a collision course with the black hole of the Fear inside.
The Fear's first volley is panic and anxiety, it is a tidal wave of my worst memories. I wade through them. I struggle against their overwhelming pain.
I sift through the memories and follow Bedevil's advice. Don't focus on whether those memories are true. Don't focus on making them positive. Remember how each one made me feel.
Doc tells me the truth of his involvement with Megajoule. He's not arrogant. He's not uncaring. He weeps.
Flashfire kicks me out of the Underground. There is no disdain, only grief and anger at my lie. He didn't relish kicking me out.
Bedevil calls out Megajoule's name the first time we had sex. She recoils from me in horror at her sin. She knows it was wrong. No leering, no sadism. She cut me down to my core, true, but not on purpose. I remember not only the pain but her sorrow, her regret.
None of the memories seem to help me, at first. They only give me more sorrow. But sorrow is not fear. I find that in confronting the truth of those memories, that the onslaught weakens.
I pierce through the tidal wave. I strike against the event horizon like a hammer against iron.
I want to beat it here and now but there's just something missing. I take all the fire shining from me and weave it into a shining prison of bronze. There are too many gaps, but for now it holds the black hole in place, and the dream collapses.
I smell smoke. The scent draws me out of sleep, from the longest nightmare I've ever endured.
My hand squabbles in the dirt, still out of my control.
I have always thought this hand belonged to someone else. I've thought that my entire body belongs to someone else. But who the hell else would it belong to? Megajoule is dead. This is my body. The Fear preyed upon my insecurities.
The only way to stop it is to somehow take those insecurities back. To find the flaws in my mind that it exploits, and to patch them up.
Bedevil told me I disdain everyone around me. Her statement chafes against me. I don't want it to be true.
I sigh out. Which means it probably is true. And Bedevil said it was my Fear. Maybe these things take the shape of their hosts' flaws? Their shadows. This Fear is my shadow. "That's a good name for you, you stupid parasite," I say. "Shadow." The Hedgehog? Now, that's just dumb.
I chuckle. At least I've got my humor still. Wouldn't trade that back for the world.
Did I get my humor from Megajoule? Or somewhere else?
Like Doc, telling me that I needed glasses like the lab technician. I didn't get that from Megajoule. That's uniquely me. Or did it come from that technician?
I've never really decided who I am. Maybe, I thought that wasn't mine to decide. Who else would decide that for me, though? No one. No one but myself.
Unfortunately, I've got other things to worry about than sitting down with a pencil and deciding who I am. The tree propping my back up is ablaze. The grass beneath me is charred. The fire spreads out from me, already catching from the intense heat shimmering in the air. I have to move. They'll track the fire to me.
I rise to my feet and trudge on, determined to find my friends.

This is one of my mother's favorite scriptures. Let's set the record straight. If you can't get through chapter one of Genesis and believe every word don't bother with sunrise service. Way too many people believe portions of the Bible and they claim that they are Christians. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You don't have to know the Bible nor do you have to had read the whole Bible to be saved. God makes it clear in Ephesian 2:8 "For by grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." And in Romans 10:10 the scriptures say, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." And in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
But you have to believe what you read.
Back to the verse. "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
If you get this verse, the whole Bible will open its volumes to you and you will have entered into a place of knowing with God. Think about light for a moment. It is visible and invisible; it is substance and no substance; it travels at 186,000 miles per second. That means that it takes only 8 minutes for the sun's light to reach the earth. Everything about light is mysterious, but to create light out of no thing...? To speak a word and create light...? That's what I mean, "if you can't get through chapter one of Genesis and believe every word don't bother with sunrise service."
Going to church and participating in religious gatherings is a beautiful thing and I believe everyone should be part of a local church and support it and assist in every way they can, no exceptions. But the Bible was written so you would get to know the God of church. If you don't believe the basics in the first few verses of Genesis, why would you believe any of it? It's all in the same book. God designed you to be infused with Himself and that doesn't happen unless you believe His report of Himself. The Bible is true, all of it and unless you can believe that, how can you be sure you believe any of it? How can you be sure that what you call religion isn't just conditioning? How can you be sure that what you learned isn't just cultural Christianity? NO. You can't be sure unless you believe it all. That's right:
- Let there be light
- The parting of the Red Sea
- The Israelites wandering for forty years in what should have been an eight day's journey
- The feeding with manna from heaven
- Jonah in the belly of the big fish
- Daniel in the lion's den
- The virgin birth
- The death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Jesus
- Entertaining angels unawares
- Heaven as a place
- Hell as a place
These aren't allegories, or stories with a hidden meaning. They are what happened and the Bible goes on to fully disclose what is going to happen.
I guarantee you that if you buy into the whole package, the entire Bible and you begin to believe every word that you read, you will find out that life any other way was a waste of your time. Let there be light in your heart.

We aim to extend our cellar in the Iván Valley gradually, step by step every year, with careful planning. We currently process grapes from an area of 10 hectares. We primarily produce red wines – from the lighter Kadarka to the full-bodied Bikavér, working with the local Kékfrankos as well as widely known varieties – but we also make traditional Szekszárd Schiller wines. At the winery we await wine-enthusiast guests with wines directly from the cellar and tasty, traditional dishes on from the furnace on our terrace. We are consultants and organisers of the annual Iván Valley Kadarka Tour events every June, which was awarded the South Transdanubia Innovative Wine Tourism Service Prize in 2012.

I love popcorn. i think its a fabulous creation- i cant really imagine going to the cinema without a huge box of popcorn. Also, i cant think of many other things that could replace popcorn as the quintessential movie snack- i tried carrot sticks- not so great, and i'm not a lover of nuts( my dad loves pecan nuts, almonds etc - i like macadamien but that's about it) also tried jelly beans, which weren't bad but still came no where close to popcorn. oh yeah - tried nacho's once - Gateway had this promotion going on - ordinarily, that shit rules, but a darkened theatre isn't the best place for it- it should be kept as a starter.
so anyway- here i was at my local mall, Pavillion, watching a movie with my mate Masood- its the late show (his mum usually has curfew issues- poor guy:P,so normally we have to go for the main show-8p.m) I prefer the late shows though - all the brats are gone to bed, most of the noisy patrons are gone home, and the cinema is usually quite empty so if the person next to you has liberally sprinkled that god-forbidden cheese salt all over their popcorn, you can just move eight rows down to escape the smell... which is another thing i don't get- i love butter salt, but musgrave, gateway and pavillion refuse to stock it. Suncoast had it when i went to watch Casino Royale, it was next to the chilli powder salt (for all the indians who went to watch Dhoom 2:P) I have no idea why pavillion will keep shitty flavours like aromat but not butter salt- i'm gonna write a letter to them tom. also- why is the popcorn and coke so bloody expensive!
But what i want to rant about in this post is the wastage that happens every day in the confectionery counters. Have a look at the picture i put up- that's two bin packets full offwasted popcorn, and i asked them about it, and it all gets dumped- yet, a few hundred metres away from pavilion is a really impecunious area where i'm sure they will be grateful for some 'food' even though popcorn isn't that filling, its still something.

I thought I would "help" by painted leave veins on….not sure it helped at all! LOL! I truly love the fall in the Pacific NW so I might try again with a different style. I absolutely love the gloom and the rain. It's like this weather was meant for me. I was made to live in this city! I am so much happier when it's raining…and so much crankier when it's sunny!! The only downside is the trouble with taking pictures of holo polishes, but that's just a small price to pay for the glorious rain!!!

Solution crystallization
Solution Crystallization Plants
Solution Crystallization Plants
In the field of mass crystallization, GEA 's expertise encompasses all basic types of crystallizers for the crystallization from solutions, such as the forced circulation or draft-tube (MSMPR) crystallizer, the turbulence (DTB) crystallizer, and the fluidized bed (OSLO) crystallizer. GEA is thus in an unique position to address the special needs of each of its clients, depending on the required product crystal quality and size. GEA routinely supplies upstream and downstream components, such as the preconcentration (in multiple effect, mechanical vapor recompression, flash, and other evaporator configurations), the debrining (thickening, filtration or centrifugation), drying, solids handling and packaging. GEA also supplies piping and instrumentation and process control systems for its plants, installations in prefabricated and modularized sections as required by the client.
Every specific crystallization processes is influenced by several other factors. Some of the most important are mentioned below.
The surface-cooling process produces supersaturation directly on the heat exchanger surface. The supersaturation in the heat exchanger is the highest in the entire crystallizer. Incrustations on the heat transfer surface and eventual plugging of the tubes are the normal consequences. This can be an acceptable situation for discontinuous operation, because with each next batch the incrustations may be dissolved again. For continuous processes, however, the surface cooling is only an option if the low operating temperature required in the crystallizer makes vacuum cooling crystallization impractical. If a continuous crystallizer must employ surface-cooling, especially large heat exchanger surface area is supplied, in an effort to increase the operating cycle.
Vacuum-cooled crystallization is the preferred cooling crystallization method for continuous operation. Because cooling is generated by adiabatic expansion of the solvent, and the condensing of the vaporized solvent is done in a separate heat exchanger, scaling of cooling surfaces is not experienced. Vacuum cooling becomes uneconomical (or impractical) only if operation at very low temperatures is required.
The evaporative crystallization is generally a vacuum process, much like vacuum-cooled crystallization. The difference is that this process is independent of the concentration and temperature of the feed solution. External heat can be added to the system and the concentration of mother liquor can be adjusted by evaporation. Like vacuum-cooled crystallization, there are no special encrustation problems in evaporative crystallization. Operating difficulties may arise in the case of concentration of inversely soluble substances, like some sulfates and carbonates. In such cases the same encrustation model exists as in surface-cooled crystallization. High suspension velocities in the heater tubes and high suspension density (to increase the desupersaturation rate) and can improve the operating cycle. Multiple-effect evaporative crystallization plants are supplied in cases where low energy consumption is especially important.

Bude Accommodation
Searching for hotels in Bude (United Kingdom) or Bude accommodation? The town of Bude is in Cornwall, England. It has an award-winning beach, as well as other attractions to explore.
Another big attraction in Bude is surfing, although the town is not quite as famous, or crowded, as its neighbor, Newquay. The cliffs, which are the highest in Cornwall, and the only sandstone cliffs in Cornwall, are also worth a visit.
Whether you surf, sunbathe, or swim, the beaches at Summerleaze, Widemouth Bay and Crooklets, as well as Crackington Haven and Sandy Mouth a short distance outside of town, are perfect, and have lifeguards on duty, so they are safe too.
There are several nice restaurants and eateries in Bude, many of which overlook the sea. For instance, you could try Life's a Beach, which is a beachside café during the day, and becomes a bistro type restaurant after dark. Then there are Elements, or the Bayview Inn, both of which serve great food, and have amazing sea views. There are several others to choose from in this town, as well as the traditional Carriers Inn which is a vibrant spot for nightlife.

have nothing better to do than baking me own birthday cake as i personally feels that store bought cake is too commercialized... blurghhh~ the thought of secret recipe's cake made me vomit in my mouth a little... i'm so sick of it no offence to the business owners their cakes are good but i'm just sick of it...(you know that i'm telling the truth when i actually had to repeat the word 'sick' twice)
anyway this time i wanted to try something different so i jazz it up with peppermint!
hey, why buy when yo u can BAKE!
besides we loved it....and you probably would too!
175g butter -
150g flour
2tbs cocoa powder
1tbsp baking powder
150g caster sugar
1tbsp milk
40g peppermint chocolates, chopped - i use Andes after 8 chocolate mints
some chocolate spred to decorate
- pre heat oven at 180c. grease two 20cm/8" sandwich cake tins
- sift flour, cocoa, baking powder into a bowl set aside.
- melt butter and chocolate chunks and set aside.
- in a mixer fitted with a whisk beat eggs with sugar until volumed and pale.
- lower the speed, and add in the flour mixture just until almost mixed.
- then add in the butter mixture and gently fold in the butter until JUST mixed! (coz we don't wanna loose too much air)
- pour into the prepared baking tins and bake for 25-30minutes or until set. DO NOT OVER BAKE THE CAKE or it'll be dry!
- once cooked, let it cool just for a bit then turn out and finish cooling on the wire rack
- Sandwich together the cakes with the chocolate spread, then drizzle more on top to decorate.
for the spread :
i simply melt (using double boil method) beryl's dark chocolate about 100g-150g or so, then i add in 1/4c of whipping cream, 1tbs butter, a 1.5 tsp of light corn syrup and 1/2tsp of peppermint essence. mix well and ready to spread!
p/s: beryl is a malaysian brand chocolate.

Stay informed about FORTUNE Family online & offline events!
See one of our recent Ireland101 Tribe Gatherings
FORTUNE Family HistoryThis interesting surname has a number of possible origins. Firstly, it may have originated from the old French "fortune" meaning chance or luck and would have been a nickname for a gambler. In some cases, it may derive from the rare medieval given names Fortunatus (male) meaning prosperous or Fortune (female) meaning good luck. It is also Scottish locational origin from the lands of Fortune in East Lothian, composed of the old English pre 7th Century elements "for" meaning hog or pig, plus "tun" a settlement or enclosure; hence "pig enclosure".

Veza and Living Beyond Breast Cancer
Veza and Living Beyond Breast Cancer
via LBBC's Blog:
One of LBBC's newest shop to support partners is Veza, a very unique and charitable company, founded by a a very unique and charitable individual. Read his personal story about why he felt compelled to start his company and why he chose to eventually partner with LBBC from the Veza's point of view…
The unfortunate commonness of breast cancer was one of the main reasons that Brandon Michaels, founder and brainchild behind Veza, felt an immediate connection with Living Beyond Breast Cancer. However, after learning more specifically about LBBC's goals and mission, Brandon was sure that this was a cause worth support and partnership. While breast cancer foundations are vast and range in size and mission, Brandon was immediately drawn to the cause behind LBBC and the powerful impact that the foundation continues to make. It is refreshing and unique to find a foundation who puts a priority on teaching those who have been diagnosed and their families how to cope with the disease. LBBC is one of a few organizations in which patients are put at the forefront by offering programs and services unique to their needs and personal circumstances.
Brandon is thrilled to have partnered with LBBC, through his company Veza, as both are dedicated to helping those diagnosed and their families by providing access to information and services that aid in the battle of the devastating disease. The partnership will allow Brandon to contribute a significant donation to the foundation through the support of individuals like you. With each purchase of the Pink on White wristband, you too can support the cause and in a fun and fashionable way.
About Veza
Brandon's inspiration for Veza began with a passion for two things: style and philanthropy. He wanted to combine this passion for style with a desire for social good and to show others that supporting a cause you believe in is something worth doing. Realizing that wrist-wear often lacked design innovation, he envisioned a sleek, visually appealing collection of wristbands. With that, he partnered each Veza wristband with a unique charitable cause, ultimately giving the buyer the choice of the color they want to wear, or the cause they want to support.
Today Veza features 12 sporty yet elegant wristbands for men, women and teens. Each wristband supports a unique cause that was personally chosen by Brandon as a charity that shares similar goals and values. Purchase your Pink on White Veza in support of Living Beyond Breast Cancer here.

I'm with the Italians in their respect for risotto, a sensibility that borders on religious fervour. The variations are infinite, yet it's an easy dish once you've grasped the essentials. The three versions I give here are based on classics, and incorporate all the rules you need to perfect the dish.
First off, keep it simple. Don't put in more than one or two main ingredients. Next, the soffrito (the base of fried vegetables that provide a grounding for the whole dish) should be cooked for a good long time — roughly half an hour, stirring occasionally.
The next critical stage is the point at which you add the rice to the soffrito. As you do this, turn the heat up a little and cook for a couple of minutes before you add the wine, covering the rice with the vegetables and butter.
Stirring is vital, because you need to knock the grains of rice together, loosening the starch which, in turn, makes the texture of your risotto more creamy. Use a wooden spoon, and stir regularly, but without standing over the pot the whole time. Adding the liquid a ladle at a time just means that the mixture is the right consistency for the grains to be knocking together perfectly.
The consistency is vital: even if you have made a wonderful risotto, if it's too dry it will seem stodgy rather than silky. After you have added the butter and Parmesan the rice should be "all'onda", meaning that it has a certain fluidity. Basically when you put a big spoon of the rice on a plate it should drop slightly, flatten and spread a little when you shake the plate. It should neither stand up as a pile nor should it separate into rice and broth.
Best rice
There are a few different kinds of risotto rice and it can be hard to know what the difference is. The three main types found in the supermarket are arborio, vialone nano and carnaroli. They have different qualities and look different too.
- Carnaroli is a great rice for vegetable or meat-based risotto, and the best for beginners. It's the most forgiving type to cook with, and the one I use most often. It doesn't matter too much if you leave it unstirred for a little while, or, once ready, you leave it in the pan while you assemble the family. Carnaroli is a relatively recent invention, emerging just after the Second World War when an Italian rice grower crossed arborio with a Japanese variety, making this wonderful new strain of rice.
- Vialone nano, with its shorter, less starchy grains, is best for fish risotto. The slight lack of starch can make vialone nano risotto seem lighter.
- Arborio is fine but tricky to work with. It overcooks easily and the grains are more likely to break, making a gruel-like risotto.

I am so sorry for the quietness on this front however I have been away visiting the wonderful, eternal city: Rome! I loved wandering around the city in the sunshine pretending I was in The Lizzie McGuire Movie although sadly I was not mistaken for an Italian pop star and made to perform in front of thousands... c'est la vie!
I did however see the Pope up close and personal, see some perfect sights, soak in a lot of history and eat some delicious foods and see the world's cutest dog!
Here are some snapshots of our trip...
Summer skiesssss.
My dream car although to be frank there is no way in hell I would ever drive here, the lack of driving skill or awareness is no joke.
Inside Vatican City, look at the beautiful blue skies!!
See what I mean? I was not exaggerating. I officially have gone from being a cat lover to needing a chow chow dog in one trip.
In the land of gelato I will still always choose froyo. #faithful
But of a colossal sight here...
I'm sorry.
Who knew Rome had such beautiful parks?! It's not all pizza and piazzas!
Every single street was just perfection. Quintissential Italian charm and class. I've even got the typical Italian hand gestures! See the woman in the red jumper near the front?
Possibly the world's most beautiful restaurant?! Loved the purple flowers hanging down, can any florist out there identify them?
I don't even think Beyoncé would bring in this crowd at 9am on a Wednesday. Popular Popey!
Not the Trevi as it is shut for renovations (boo!) however proof that Rome is home to hundreds of beautiful fountains anyway. Every corner we turned round was a marvel and completely took my breath away.
So there's a little window into our Roman getaway! My boyfriend's the photographer of us two so once he's sorted his pictures I'll get them up here too!
It was just such a magical, historical feeling place and I already long to go back. Rome really struck a chord with me and I would love to explore more of Italy!
Have you ever been to Rome? Where else would you recommend in Italy? I've been to Venice so where should I tick off next? Florence? Pisa? Milan! The possibilities are endless!
Until next time,
Sophia xxxxx

text: The subject matter of the many reports and articles in this issue ranges from how to more efficiently produce LED lamps to make them more attractive to consumers to producing nanolasers from imperfect nanostructures; and from fabricating nanosensors on CDs for use in bio sample studies, to incorporating a photoswitchable molecule into an antibiotic and using light to control the drug's activity. The stories are wonderful evidence of the depth and impact of photonics all around us. Every day there are new developments in photonic applications: from purely theoretical breakthroughs to improvements in clinical and shop floor processes, and cutting-edge consumer products. Anybody still in doubt of photonics' bright future should certainly read on. Consider Raman spectroscopy: The technique can quickly identify pathogens and help surgeons tell healthy tissue from diseased. The authors of the feature, "Moving Raman Spectroscopy into the Clinic," suggest that photonic methods including Raman spectroscopy may hold part of the answer to global issues such as treating age-related diseases in a rapidly aging population, as well as catching other diseases before they spread. Authors Thomas Mayerhöfer and Christoph Krafft, of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies, Ute Neugebauer of Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies and University Hospital Jena, and Jürgen Popp of Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies, University Hospital Jena and Friedrich Schiller University, say that the technique's molecular sensitivity is what makes it so promising for clinical use. See the feature beginning on page 24. From medicine to manufacturing, photonic technologies are enabling improvements everywhere we look. In "Optodigital Microscopy Enhances Efficiency of Material Testing," science journalist Heinz-Jürgen Zamzow describes how Geneva-based SGS Group employed an automated microscope to speed up an industrial quality control process in the automotive industry. Read about it beginning on page 22. And, finally, our cover story, "Next-Gen LED Lamps Bring Costs Down," by freelance science writer Dr. Barbara Stumpp, explores the complexities of manufacturing LED lighting in the quest to reduce costs for consumers and increase their acceptance and use. According to the author, molded interconnect devices are part of the solution. The feature begins on page 18. As always, we hope you enjoy the issue.

text: Brian Fortenbaugh - November 04, 2010 Rough Hunt This first-time elk bowhunter experienced a hunt that will be hard to equal. By Brian Fortenbaugh I WAS SITTING AT my desk, editing a story, when my phone rang. It was my friend, former Major League Baseball pitcher Turk Wendell."Hey, Brian. What are you doing in September?" Turk asked."I've got nothing scheduled. Why?" I said."I'm going to be guiding elk hunters for a buddy of mine in Craig, Colorado. How'd you like to come out and tape a hunt for your TV show? I'll guide you," Turk replied. "You're kidding! That would be great," I said. This would be my first elk hunt, which was exciting enough, but I was equally thrilled with getting a chance to spend time in the woods with Turk. Our friendship had begun two years earlier when I had invited Turk, who was then with the Philadelphia Phillies, and some of his teammates to bowhunt with me in south-central Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the baseball season schedule prevented us from getting together that year. A change of teams the following year again kept us from hunting together. I kept my fingers crossed that things would work out this year.Turk was guiding for his friend Clay Owens, operations manager of the 70,000-acre Cross Mountain Ranch, a property, according to Turk, loaded with elk. The ranch is divided into two sections -- Upper and Lower. The Upper Ranch, where I would be hunting, is part of Colorado's Ranching For Wildlife program, where hunters are guaranteed tags with no drawing and can use their weapon of choice. My hunt would take place the week of September 21. I was happy to hear that Steve Jones would be my cameraman for Bowhunter Magazine TV, as he is a seasoned elk hunter. His experience, along with that of Clay and his guides, would be helpful for this first-timer.Living in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I qualify as a flatlander, and because of this, I would have to work hard to get in shape to survive the steep terrain and high altitudes of the Colorado mountains. So, for the next four months, I biked, hiked, and ran every day. By the time my hunt arrived, I had lost 15 pounds and was in the best shape I'd been in since my days of playing high school sports. It was August when Turk called me with some bad news. His dad was very sick, and he wouldn't be able to guide me. That was disappointing, but I understood his situation and the importance of putting family above all else. Turk wished me good luck and said he would check in to see how my hunt was going.ON SEPTEMBER 21, I flew from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to Denver, where Steve and I met and boarded a plane to Hayden, Colorado. The view of the Rockies from the airplane was incredible; however, the near nonstop turbulence was something I could have done without.When we arrived in Hayden, Clay and his guide Bret McMillen met us, loaded our gear into Clay's truck, and drove us to the ranch. On the way, Clay told us the bulls were really getting cranked up and he was confident we had arrived at the perfect time. Twenty minutes into the drive, it became clear that Clay and I share the same oddball sense of humor. This is going to be a good week, I thought. Chef Joey Bowman and his assistant, Derrick, prepared outrageous meals. Would you believe prime rib and fresh crab? Rough! Now, I'm not opposed to being spoiled a little bit, but when we pulled up to the Fish Creek Lodge and walked through the door to the smell of fresh-caught crab being prepared by the ranch owner's personal chef, Joey Bowman, even I thought that was a little over the top. "This is gonna be a rough hunt," I told Steve, as we unpacked our gear.Joining us in camp were ASAT Camouflage owner Rob Smollack and his friends/coworkers Jeff Nicholls and Ryan Callaghan. I had met Rob before at the Archery Trade Association's annual trade show, and it was nice to see a familiar face in camp. Having hunted with Clay before, Rob assured me I was about to experience the mecca of elk hunting.That night, after a feast of crab and various other dishes I can't pronounce -- or spell -- Clay gave everyone the lowdown on what to expect out of the hunt. With my belly full, and my excitement level at full throttle, I tried to get some sleep.Continued -- click on page link below. The Fish Creek Lodge at Cross Mountain Ranchis not your typical elk camp. On the third day, eight inches of fresh snow blanketed the mountains. Beautiful? Yes. Fun to hike in? No! At least the snow helped Operations Manager Clay Owens and me find elk. AFTER A SIT-DOWN BREAKFAST the next morning -- I can't remember the last time I actually sat down to eat breakfast before a hunt -- Steve, Clay, and I piled into Clay's truck long before sunup and headed down the road. Parking at a trailhead, we loaded our gear into a 4x4 utility vehicle and started up the mountain. Once we reached a point where we would be able to see and hear a long distance, we got out and waited for daylight.Not long after sunup, we heard the first bull bugle. Then another, and another. To me, it sounded like we were surrounded by elk, and each one sounded huge. Clay and Steve knew better, and quickly they both agreed which one was the biggest and how we should approach him.Of course, the bull we were going after was also the farthest away, and I quickly realized the effects of high altitude on a flatlander. My legs felt great, but my lungs did not, and we had scarcely covered 200 yards when Clay sensed I needed a break."How you holding up?" he asked."I'll be ok, just give me a second to catch my breath," I panted. I was lying, of course. What I really wanted to do was take five, but, hey, no pain, no gain, right?We continued on toward the sound of the still-bugling bull, stopping every so often to give me a breather. When we got to where we thought the bull was hanging out, we heard him bugle down the mountain. You've got to be kidding me, I thought. All that climbing for nothing. At least our direction of travel to get to the bull will be downhill.Long story short, we never did catch up to that bull, and finally Clay suggested we return to the lodge for lunch and a quick napbefore heading out that afternoon. Back at the lodge, we had a meager lunch of prime rib topped with more fresh crab. Rough.That afternoon we went to a draw that led to a large alfalfa field where elk were feeding in the evenings. The plan was to wait for the elk to show and then to call in a bull.Before long, the first bugle echoed from the dark timber and bounced off the hill we were sitting on. Soon I could see several elk moving in the aspens roughly 300 yards from us. Minutes later, elk were parading out into the grassy draw, moving toward the alfalfa. There were more than 60 elk, including 11 bulls, in this herd, and they were doing everything elk do during the rut. Most importantly, the whole herd was moving our way, and the wind was in our favor.As I hid behind a large clump of sage, Steve was running the camera over my shoulder, and Clay stayed a few yards behind, cow calling and bugling. The elk were now 100 yards away and still coming. Suddenly, the closest group of cows, which had been trying to avoid a very amorous bull, got antsy. The wind was still good, and we were well hidden, so we weren't the cause for their concern. Then I heard it -- the barking of one of the ranch's many sheepdogs. Suddenly, the entire herd spun away and dashed across the draw and over the hill across from us. The sheepdog, which appeared quite proud at doing his job, stood guard over his flock in the bottom of the draw. Nuts! I thought.Darkness soon fell on my first day, and after another gourmet meal, I fell asleep quickly.ON THE SECOND DAY, we went to a different part of the ranch and were soon into bulls. By my count, there were three of them, all very close. The problem in this location was the dense oak brush. At one point, two bulls came within 30 yards of me, both of them practically screaming in my face, but I could catch only glimpses of antlers, legs, and rumps and never could find an opening big enough to slide an arrow through. After a tense 30 minutes, a nearby cow winded us and blew the whole deal.The afternoon hunt proved slow, and the dropping temperatures and thickening clouds forecast a major weather change. Overnight, snow started falling, and by the time we left the lodge in the morning, at least eight inches of wet, slippery snow blanketed the mountains. Beautiful? Yes. Fun to climb in? No!Continued -- click on page link below. Cameraman Steve Jones, himself an experienced elkhunter, encouraged me to take the shot on this bull.I'm glad he did -- and that I listened. Left to right, Ryan Callaghan, Rob Smollack, and Jeff Nicholls arrowed these fine bulls within 300 yards of each other, in less than two hours. Incredible! SHORTLY AFTER FIRST LIGHT, the bulls were revved up, just as on the two previous days. Clay felt we needed to move quickly on two bulls bugling across a deep bowl from us. Steve agreed, and we were off. To keep the wind in our favor, we had to first hike above the bulls before we could close the distance. I don't know if it was the adrenaline or what, but breathing the thin air suddenly seemed less difficult.Before long, we had approached within 100 yards of the bulls. Setting up next to a well-worn trail, Steve and I hunkered behind a big aspen, and Clay cow-called from 10 yards behind us. Soon I spotted legs moving toward us in the thick brush and readied my bow in anticipation that the legs might belong to a bull. I wasn't disappointed. They belonged to a young 4x5, and he was walking right to us, his antlers knocking snow off of overhanging limbs as they swayed back and forth."Should I shoot him?" I whispered to Steve."Heck yes. He's got multiple points. You've never killed an elk. And, he's right there in front of you," Steve hissed.As the bull continued his approach, I came to full draw, hoping he would pass on by to give me a short, broadside shot. Instead, the bull caught my movement and stopped, facing me, at 12 yards. Please, turn, I thought as I continued to hold at full draw. Thirty seconds ticked by and my arms were starting to quiver. Please turn!Sensing I couldn't hold much longer, Clay whispered, "Let down!"When I did, the bull turned and trotted away. Quickly, Clay cow-called, and again I drew my bow. The curious bull couldn't help himself and stopped, quartering away. To this day I can't remember if I put my 20 or 30 yard pin on the bull's chest before releasing my arrow, but I must have picked the right one because the arrow hit the bull perfectly, burying up to the fletching.Making his escape, the bull kicked up snow, sticks, and mud. Seconds later we heard him crash. I was so worked up over the experience I was hyperventilating and thought for sure I was going to throw up."Great shot," Steve and Clay said in unison as they slapped me on my back.Picking up the blood trail in the snow was easy, and 60 yards later, I was standing over my first elk. He wasn't the biggest bull I had seen to that point by any stretch, but he was my first, I had made a good shot, and I was darned proud.After field-dressing the bull, we dragged him downhill to a trail that Clay could access with the utility vehicle. Soon we had the bull loaded and were on our way back to the truck and then to the lodge to cape and quarter my first elk.The next day, Lady Luck smiled on the ASAT boys in grand fashion. Rob and Jeff were hunting, and Ryan was taping their hunt for a future ASAT DVD. The area they were hunting was thick with elk, and at 7:55 a.m., Rob struck first, arrowing a nice 5x4. Jeff was next at bat, and at 8:05 he sent an NAP-tipped shaft through the chest of a dandy 6x6. After Jeff's bull crashed, he traded his bow for Ryan's camera, and at 9:25, Ryan completed an unbelievable triple play with a beautiful 6x5. Amazing!We spent the rest of the week taping additional scenes for Bowhunter Magazine TV; watching elk, mule deer, and pronghorns; and, of course, filling our bellies with more of Chef Joey's fine cuisine.

We established Sandee's Soil & Rock in 2001 to provide a convenient service that would meet the needs of those everyday homeowners who wanted just "a little bit" of topsoil, gravel, sand, etc..

This place rocks! They have the best products around and carry organic top soil that is out of this world. I have used their soil on all of my garden and even though I have a short growing season I have had excellent crops every year since I found Sandee's.
So far so good. We got 1 cubic yard of their black
Organic mulch. It's easy in-we brought our own truck and they loaded it right up for us. The quality looks good and hopefully it will lead to a great garden. My husband has his eye on a few of their rock and other landscaping materials.
We were very pleased with the product and service we received. They were there to deliver within two hours of ordering. I have used Sandee's in the past and was very happy with everything.
Great place for big boulders. Went there to find some boulders for a landscaping project. Great selection and not a bad price. The staff is super helpful as well.
Excellent place for landscaping materials with friendly great service.

Beats is known for its oddball marketing campaigns, and this generous gift is likely one of them.
As if the World Cup trophy wasn't enough, Beats are showering Germany - victors of the ultimate footie fixture - with 24-carat gold Beats Pro headphones.
Beats Electronics clearly don't mind letting the cash fly as they're giving a pair of the gilded lug-huggers to every single member of the German football team, as well as team manager Joachim Löw.
Beats says the headphones are "the ultimate prize to go with the ultimate sporting victory."
"These special 24c gold Pro Headphones are the perfect prize for an amazing sporting achievement."
Germany defeated Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday with a 1-0 result thanks to a goal in extra time, a feat which Beats has deemed worth of bonus spoils.
Beats showcased the headphones using Naomi Campbell, decked out in gold, in an ad, photographed by legendary fashion snapper Rankin. A behind-the-scenes video for the shoot was also released, which we've embedded below.
"We know you only get one trophy, so Dr. Dre and myself are sending you a pair of 24-carat gold Beats," says Campbell in the video.
"Working on the 'Golden' project with Beats was so much fun. I even got to practice my football skills! [It's] the perfect way to celebrate the German victory."
If you want to join in on the precious metal fun, you can actually buy your very own pair of 24ct gold-plated Beats for a staggering £1,489 - be quick though, there's only 50 on sale, with 10 in Harrods, London.
It's somewhat ironic that Beats splashed so much cash in its latest PR stunt, considering Beats headphones were actually banned from World Cup games as the firm wasn't an official sponsor.

We all know that getting a good night's sleep is pivotal for our physical and mental health, especially since we spend one-third of our lives asleep. However, it turns out that sleep position also plays an important role is the quest for optimum health.
Depending on what sleeping position you choose or just happen to land in most, it can cause shoulder pain or back pain, increase wrinkles on the face and breasts, or even increase snoring. On the flip side, other positions can be great for increasing blood flow, minimizing acid reflux and decreasing snoring.
In the end, your position can also be the difference between a good sleep and a bad sleep. If your going to experiment with the positions for a little longer than one night. Sometimes we get used to sleeping one way for so long that it takes a bit of adjusting to make a new one work.
It is recommended that we get around 7-8 hours of sleep a night, but an alarming estimated 70 million Americans are falling well short of that number and are having a hard time sleeping. There are many factors that could be affecting your sleep in a negative way; and sleeping positions is one of them.
Are you getting enough sleep? here are some symptoms than can help you identify that. You might be experiencing memory loss, depression and anxiety, tiredness in the morning, waking up too early, poor concentration. Getting more sleep will help you boost your health in a number of ways including improving your immune system, boosting mental well-being and good concentration, increasing sex drive and fertility and it creates better moods during the day.
In the following video, Dr. Steve Hoffman, founder of Core Wellness Institute, teaches us the sleeping position which causes the least amount of stress on the body and provides insight on the best way to roll out of bed in the morning. Since I've adopted this sleeping position, my sleep has never been better. I also feel more refreshed and less achy in the morning.
If you have posture problems, make sure to scroll down to the end of the article and check out Dr. Hoffman's amazing holistic approach to restoring a healthy posture and core by treating the root cause of posture misalignments.
Dr Hoffman also shares some interesting insight on how to move and create movement routines that are very effective forms of exercise but side step injury in a big way. He has an Organic Posture training course and coaching program that helps promote an active and pain free life for people of all ages.
Sometimes poor sleep can come as a result of magnesium efficiency as well. Magnesium is a powerful mineral that helps us relax on many levels. It works at the physical level by relieving sore/stiff/cramping muscles and at the emotional level by soothing emotions of anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, it's estimated that as many as half of the US population is deficient in this mineral.
Some symptoms of magnesium deficiency are:
– Chronic fatigue
– Muscle stiffness
– Depression
– Muscle cramps
– Behavioural disturbances
Adding extra magnesium through magnesium-rich foods or supplementing is a great way to help you sleep better at night.

Russia has hacked the Danish defence and gained access to employees' emails in 2015 and 2016, NATO member Denmark's defence minister told newspaper Berlingske on Sunday – Russian Cyberspies Hacked Danish Defense.
"It is linked to the intelligence services or central elements in the Russian government, and it is a constant battle to keep them away," Frederiksen said in the interview.
U.S. Intelligence officials consider ATP28 ― also known as "Fancy Bear" ― to be linked to the Russian government, if not an outright agent of the Kremlin. Officials believe the same group hacked the Democratic National Committee and tried to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The Danish Defense Ministry confirmed to Reuters that Frederiksen was accurately quoted, but didn't provide further details. The Kremlin didn't respond to Reuters' request for comment.
Frederiksen told Berlingske the hacking had been possible due to insufficient security around emails with non-classified material, something that has since been improved.
Frederiksen said the defense ministry must strengthen its email and other cyberprotections in response to the hacking.

At a recent conference one of the speakers presented the following syllogism:
- What drives a company –> sales
- What drives sales –> marketing
- What drives marketing –> data
The implication is clear, ultimately data drives a company. Unfortunately, this thinking is all too prevalent in the business world (perhaps, just the world, leave business out of it).
It is also wrong. Actually, it is not just wrong, it is confusing cause with effect. Data is not the cause of company activity, it is the effect of it.
Instead, I would like to posit the following syllogism:
- What drives a company –> profit
- What drives profit –> creating value for customers
- What drives value for customers –> innovation
- What drives innovation –> knowledge
- What drives knowledge –> relationships (conversations)
In my chain it is relationships that ultimately drive a company.

What is Sigma Psi Zeta?
Sigma Psi Zeta is a progressive, multicultural Greek organization that has historically been Asian-interest, but not Asian-exclusive. We are a cultural, social, educational, and community service oriented sorority. We were founded on March 23, 1994 and incorporated on March 15, 1996. Our sorority is recognized under the laws of the State of New York.
Who are we nationally?
On February 28, 1994, the founding mothers of Sigma Psi Zeta aimed to establish an organization that encompassed the strength of today's Asian-American woman and her potential for making an impact on the world around her. They came together as friends, realizing the apathy towards Asian women and the dual disadvantage for being "The Silent Minority." They wanted to initiate change and agreed to create an organization to fight against the injustices historically suffered by our gender and race.
The structure of a Greek Letter organization addressed the need for the organization to nurture bonds between women that surpass those of traditional clubs and associations. At the same time, these ten women of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds hoped that the organization would nurture the bonds of sisterhood, and become a vehicle for action in addressing the needs of Asian-American women on their campus. They then took an oath of loyalty, allegiance, and dedication to each other and their cause. A sorority was established, adopting Sigma Psi Zeta as the letters to represent the sisterhood.
On March 23rd, 1994, the sisterhood of Sigma Psi Zeta was formally recognized by the State University of New York at Albany, signifying the birth of many firsts. Our Alpha Chapter was established on that date, as well as the birth of the first East Coast-based Asian sorority. There are now more than 1,000 members who have contributed to the organization's history and will contribute to its prolific future. Along our accomplishments within our communities, we have managed to excel as a sisterhood by providing each other with unconditional support in professional and personal endeavors. Sigma Psi Zeta has been able to capture the true essence of sisterhood, and we are open to extend our family to others.
We are pioneers and activists as our founding mothers were before us. Our chapter members, both undergraduate and alumnae, enjoy a distinguished reputation for activism, scholarship, character, and leadership. These are women who still embrace the beliefs of our founders by sharing universal sisterhood in their hearts and lives. We are an organization that seeks to educate and enlighten all people, regardless of race, about Asians and Asian-Americans: our achievements, our struggles, our interests, and identity.
As a sorority what do we strive to do?
Vision: To become a national organization uniting the sisters to follow the code of loyalty, allegiance, and dedication.
Mission: To promote unity of women and the awareness of the Asian/Asian American culture and heritage.
Goal: To best demonstrate sisterhood and allegiance by merging all efforts and interests to provide an invaluable experience for the sisters and services to the local communities and community at large.

"The Rose that blooms along the wall is a miracle" Thích Nhất Hạnh
The wall is old and crumbling,
Soft loden moss holds it together
but the cracks grow larger,
Soon it will fall.
The season's last snow
sprinkles white on the moss covered wall
that stands as it's stood for a hundred years;
it does not rely on my faith to endure.
My face wears the traces
of many frowns, Self-centered
and drowning in sorrow,
I am blind to the sun on the wall.
Just six weeks since snow fell
in April, The earth is splashed
with the sparkle of June, The rose
that blooms along the wall is a miracle.
Moss grows thick on the wall.
Gnarled stems remember the flowering.
Autumn tinges the air. We will rest
when the harvest is in.

History: 35-year-old woman with right true vocal cord paralysis after thyroid surgery, now with a left false vocal cord and neck 'mass'.
Laryngocele refers to a congenital anomalous air sac communicating with the cavity of the larynx, which may bulge outward on the neck.
Findings: Axial CT images through the larynx demonstrate a predominantly air-filled mass within the left anterior cervical space and supraglottic larynx. The mass extends through the thyrohyoid membrane into the left periglottic space at the level of the false cord.
Diagnosis: Mixed larynocele
Discussion: Laryngoceles are abnormal dilatations of the laryngeal ventricle or its more distal saccule (often referred to as the appendix of the ventricle). Most laryngoceles are acquired and develop when the laryngeal ventricle is obstructed either functionally of structurally. Functional obstructions develop from conditions associated with increased intraglottic pressure such as excessive coughing, playing a wind instrument, or glass blowing. Ventricular obstruction can also be from neoplasms or inflammatory masses that obstruct the opening of the laryngeal ventricle. Symptoms depend on the location of the laryngocele. Internal or simple laryngoceles are confined to the paraglottic space of the supraglottic larynx (usually medial to the thyroid cartilage), whereas mixed or external laryngoceles begin as internal laryngoceles but enlarge and extend through the thyroid membrane into the anterior cervical or submandibular spaces of the neck. Laryngoceles are located superficial to the strap muscles, whereas thyroglossal duct cysts are usually embedded within them. Surgery is required for large or symptomatic laryngoceles. Adults who develop laryngoceles should be closely evaluated to make sure that an obstructing cancer is not in the region of the laryngeal ventricle. Interestingly, this anomaly is a common finding in gorillas.
Aunt Minnie's Pearls
- Laryngoceles originate at the laryngeal ventricle.
- Be sure that a mass is not the etiologic agent of the obstruction that leads to laryngocele formation.
