Aus 59 Designs von 13 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Wellneo is a webstore selling health and beauty related products in Central & Eastern Europe area. Currently portfolio is slimming, diet, food supplement oriented but strategy is to switch to more "Health & Beauty" proposition having the categories mentioned above only as a subcategories under the umbrella proposition.
From Wellneo statement:
"To our customers we provide credible, carefully selected, trustworthy, good quality products & solutions with emphasis on certified, tested and proven cosmetic, food supplements, meal replacements and other health related products."
Target audience:
Genetis: Age: 35-50 Male: Yes Female: Yes
Average Income: + € 1,300 net (middle, higher grade)
Additional information: We target individuals, primarily women, more educated, who understand the importance of healthy living and preventive action, ie. They look a lot (eg, pregnant women - for themselves and children, businessmen, ...). Targetiramo including those that give emphasis to the active life (sports, recreation). Because the product is positioned higher, is more suitable for individuals who have a more orderly life and are more financially stable. Primarily emphasize health, which may include lower positioned, for example. with current health problems or. to the problem health background (inherited). The analysis is suitable for both children and adults.
Education: higher education
The whole site should be designed rather modular, so that elements would work in different kind of combinations without breaking design flow.
1. Homepage
Listing the top promotions, deeper content (ask an expert, testimonials etc...), top products etc. working as a gateway to different parts of webstore.
Main navigation should include:
Sport Nutrition
Best deals (exposed)
2. Category page
Importance on the left navigation offering the clear, simple and structured navigation to deeper categories.
3. Product page
Well structured, so that even if some elements are missing the design holds and looks finalized (many of the elements are to be tested).
1) Static elements without HTML as the site will need to be localized easily to 20 different languages.
2) Elements with very limited place for descriptions etc. text should be considered very carefully due to the language lengths (e.g. Hungarian words are really long).
3) Fonts that do not support ščćđáýůří etc.
4) Too clinical look (as the proposition is heading towards beauty category)
You can use product images from existing Wellneo site (http://www.wellneo.si) and if you need some source images etc. let me know and I will send.
Important note is that we would possibly want to continue the cooperation with the winner designer if satisfied and hold this as important factor as well.

So, are you thinking of taking a camping trip? Are you prepared for the common things that may happen to you while you're camping? Though camping is a relatively straightforward prospect, it is important to learn as much as you can in advance. Read on for some great tips.
Buy a sleeping bag which will suit the weather you will be in. If you bring sub-zero sleeping bags with you in the dead of summer, you will probably sweat all night. Also, during the winter, you should bring a sleeping bag that has down or heavy material. You would in fact be risking your health and safety.
When you're getting a brand new tent for your camping trip, take it out and set it up at home before you go camping. You can be sure there are no missing pieces and learn ahead of time the correct way to set your tent up. In addition, it will eradicate a portion of the frustration often associated with erecting a new tent.
Make sure your survival kit is available on a constant basis. You should have a bandanna (to use as a sling or tourniquet), wound coverings, something to use for sprains, matches, a knife, tablets to purify water and a compass in your kit. You need this if you become lost or stranded; the items in your kit may save your life. Remember to carry it with you and do not leave it in your camp.
Don't fear that you are overpacking for your kids on a camping trip. Camping can be a messy affair. Children seem to be magnetically attracted to dirt. Therefore, you will need to understand that a clean trip is probably out of the question. While there is nothing you can do about that, you can have some extra clothing just in case. It is important to be prepared.
Since you've looked at this piece, you now know the most important parts of camping. Camping isn't fancy, but it does require preparation. Remember the included information and have the time of your life camping.

Young Night Thought
By: Robert Louis Stevenson
All night long and every night,
When my mama puts out the light,
I see the people marching by,
As plain as day before my eye.
Armies and emperor and kings,
All carrying different kinds of things,
And marching in so grand a way,
You never saw the like by day.
So fine a show was never seen
At the great circus on the green;
For every kind of beast and man
Is marching in that caravan.
As first they move a little slow,
But still the faster on they go,
And still beside me close I keep
Until we reach the Town of Sleep.

Rube Corlies Meets Babe Ruth
Last Wednesday's Blog entry featured Rube Corlies spotting a sea serpent off the coast of Surf City in 1906. Needless to say, Rube appears to have been quite a character with an infinity of being around where the action is. Today's Blog entry continues that tradition, as we see Rube meeting the biggest baseball legend of all time - Babe Ruth.
Click on the photo of the Babe (below) to read about Rube and the Babe hunting together at the Carvel's Island Gun Club on Long Beach Island. Rube certainly is a celebrity magnate - first "Nessie" in the Atlantic Ocean off Surf City and then the Babe on a duck hunting trip on Long Beach Island. I wonder who else we may find popping up with Rube? Stay tuned!

The Measuring Stick by
Reuben Bakker
"Any fit 40 something can be fast on a bike" – Random quote I picked up while digesting too much information online about trying to ride a bike fast.
I last wrote a post for this blog about adventures of my first multi-day road race, the Masters Tour of Chiang Mai in October 2016. It was quite an experience that left me wanting more.
In the four months since, I had a couple of transition weeks, two weeks off for surgery, an "early festive 500", a two week vacation and then 8 weeks of moderately intense training for the next stage race on the local calendar, the Tour de Bintan.
As it is easier to write, let me divide this post up into several shorter parts to tell the story of my Tour de Bintan experience.
The Prep Work:
Returning to training from my 2 week Christmas vacation left me in a world of hurt as I don't have years of base like some folks do; I jealously marveled at others who were able to take a couple of weeks off and then bang out a fast Saturday ride with what looked to be a regular effort. After reading a bit of The Cyclists Training Bible (Joel Friel) and The Time Crunched Cyclist (Chris Carmichael) along with a free 2 week trial account from Today's Plan, I hacked together an 8 week plan to get me ready.
I want to go fast. And everything that I read about wanting to make significant gains revolved around intervals. So I traded in my weekday group rides for 5am loops around Lornie and Queensway multiple times a week, first starting with 3×8 minute intervals and eventually ending up with 4×20 minutes. Intervals are a grind and by week 7, I was quite happy to see these disappear from the program as I tapered into the race week.
Let me interlude this post;
The week before Bintan, I had the opportunity to ride in the 35-44 year age group of the Car Free Sunday Criterium race. With 3 laps to go, I was in the thick of things, well, the group chasing the solo breakaway, spending time as the front wheel for a straight away or two (a rookie racing mistake I knew I was committing at the time). Then, with half a lap left and tired of being on the front, I let off in effort for a bit. WHOOSH, the group went by. I got onto the back of the group, but thinking I didn't have a massive effort left in me for a podium or even top 10 finish, I just maintained the pace while the pack hammered to the finish and dropped some 10+ seconds behind the front of this group. This lack of finishing prowess would become a theme in Bintan.
Tour de Bintan Day 1:
Friday started early with a 25km zone 1 ride to the Tanah Marah ferry terminal. I even got to sleep in compared with a usual training ride. I was so proud of being number one in line, I announced it to my ANZA sub-chat group. Note to self: you can show up at 7:30am and still avoid the long lines. The check-in and bike transfer were seamless. Hats off to the Tour de Bintan folks and their partners for logistics. The ferry was choppy. I saw the vomit bags come out and the ferry staff collecting full bags. I tried to rest with my eyes shut, but then it came. First just a bit more than spit, but then with 10 minutes to go, all the breakfast came out. I was later told that I won the award for loudest vomiting.
Early check-in was done, my bike picked up, race briefing attended and race kit put together, it was time to head over to the 16.7km Individual Time Trial (ITT) course. It was 12:30 and with an hour until the ladies started rolling down the ramp, I'd have to hurry to complete a course recce. As soon as I left the tree-lined street of Nirwana Gardens, I felt the wind. It was STRONG. With dreams of smashing a 43kph ITT effort, I quietly wept inside. I finished the recce just as the first lady rolled down the ramp, happy with knowledge of the final (and largest) hill as well as knowing about some speed humps and other smaller hills etc.
At 14:48, I rolled down the ramp. You can see my first race mistake in this photo (thanks James!). I'm fiddling with my Garmin less than 20 meters from the start (maybe that's my second mistake as I'm also wearing mismatched kit). Head down but still in the hoods, it is hard to find any rhythm with the buffeting winds. I hit my target heart rate quickly and just keep going. Soon I pass the guy who started in front of me and I just keep on going. Saving energy going down hills and using a bit more energy going up. Around the golf course I 'flew'. On the way back to the start, the wind is at my back. I'm flying, but know there isn't enough course to get my average speed to the dream of well above 40kph. Then comes the hill. I know I'm supposed to power up this with every ounce of strength in my body as 'more watts going up hills' saves you time compared to 'more watts on the flats.' For some reason I don't do it. I didn't slack going up, but I didn't empty my effort either. A bit disappointed with myself, I push on. I cross the line and shut off the Garmin. Generally I'm happy and even let out an energetic grunt or three.
My time, officially 25:06, left me in 5th place of the cat (20 seconds off the podium) and is 19th fastest on the day. As a measuring stick, I was well over a minute off the day's leaders.
I stick around with the ANZA folk cheering on people we know, consume some calories and then roll back to Nirwana Gardens with dark clouds in the sky.
Tour de Bintan Day 2:
Day two starts with me waking up on the floor, listening to rain. The mattress in my "budget accommodation" was too soft for the liking of my back, so I did what I needed to do to ensure I woke up as healthy as possible. Walking over to breakfast, I thought nothing of the very light sprinkles at the time. Then the sky opened up. The rain radar was checked and it was purple!
As I ate breakfast with James and Sofiane, I lamented about my second rookie mistake, not sending the bike over to the start line and taking the bus over. James and I had planned to ride over. Luckily the purple radar rain moved on and at 6:30 I rolled up under an almost clear sky to meet James. Having been at the hotel lobby for a couple of minutes already, James had seen a couple of people put their bikes in the trunk of a bus. In the name of safety, we smiled at the driver of the next bus, motioned to our bikes and he happily obliged by opening his trunk.
Upon rolling off for the 140km stage, the roads were wet, there was a light drizzle but I imagine the 100+ person peloton and many hundreds more in other waves were happy it wasn't pouring. After a 2+ km neutral roll-out, the group kept going forward, slowly. We were 'allowed' to go faster, but it seems like nobody wanted to. I 'figured' on the 'famed red road' (some 20km from the race start) the race would 'start'. It didn't. I don't even think anybody even tried to go off the front. Maybe there was a surge, but to say the pace was relaxed would be an understatement. It felt like a coffee ride. In sandals.
At some point, I don't know when, the pace did pick up, we did finish with a 37.2kph average, but we just kept rolling along. The sun came out, the group separated and eventually there were ~ 20-30 of us with 3 riders off the front in 'an allowed breakaway'. I wasn't paying attention so I didn't know who was in it (my third mistake). Though it felt slow, I was putting out some effort as the cramps came sometime before the 3 hour mark. Nothing major, but just a soreness here and a twinge there to let me know my legs were somewhat hurting. I tried to consume more calories, but not enough as the cramps never really went away over the final 50+ km (my fourth mistake).
At the 100km mark, we were going up a hill. Not fast, just a nice steady pace. I down shifted the rear derailleur with the intent to easily power over the hill and then heard a snap and then chunk-chunk-chunk sound as my RD shifted to the 11t. UH-OH; I'm in the toughest gear on my bike and half way up the hill. My cadence slows down. I stand up. I grind and grind and grind; each rotation is an effort to get my foot around. The lead group goes past me. After probably 20 seconds that felt like 200, I crest the hill and am only 50 meters off the back. I get up to speed and onto the back of the group, thankful that nobody is pushing the pace.
I spend the next 5 minutes figuring things out. I check my front derailleur. It works, but only when there isn't a lot of pressure on the chain. OK, I have a 39-11t and a 50-11t gear. One for hills (and just drafting in the group) and one for the flats and any surges. At this point in time, I become very thankful for the 20 minute intervals with significant time spent spinning at low RPM.
The group moves on. I sit in. Between my gearing and the minor cramping, I am forced to ride 'smart' and just sit-in, well, most of the time. The kilometers pass by. With ~ 10km to go, we absorb two riders from the breakaway. Now there is a bit more life as everyone knows there are two podium spots in the group. Still, there is no impetus to push the pace (except for Ben). The small hills roll on and the rain picks up to more than a steady drizzle. With only a few km to go, the pace picks up, but nothing stupid fast. The one km sign appears and people start jockeying. Given my gearing and not knowing if there were any more 'up-hill sections' I just sit in. We round the corner and see the finish line. I see an open line and hammer it, but there are many riders ahead of me. I finish in 10th place, about a second or so behind the 2nd place and nearly 2 minutes behind the stage winner. There were 15 of us left in the chase group at the finish.
A quick visit to the on-site mechanic stand says that they can fix my bike back at the race HQ, so I send the bike for the bike transfer station, consume some calories, share and listen to race stories (like how Frank Reynaerts had a 80km breakaway, got caught and then finished 2nd in his 45-49 age group). We cheer on fellow ANZA members as they go up on the podium and then board the bus back to Nirwana Gardens.
Tour de Bintan Day 3:
I wake up on the floor again but this time with a mosquito buzzing around my ear. Oh well. My bike is fixed, I have enough sleep and am ready to go for another day of racing.
Breakfast is consumed, a brief warm-up is done, everything is packed into the jersey pockets and I'm off to the start-line, this time at Nirwana Gardens. It is time to probe on who is going to do what. I received a tip the night before to watch what number 2 is going to do (from Adam). That was my plan. On the start however, I was given a second option in being told that an unexpected rider would try to make a break. I told them I was in for trying, as long as it wasn't in the first 20km or so.
The race starts. I thought it would be more lively than day two, but it wasn't. there were a couple of half hearted surges off the front, but the first 20km went by at a recovery ride pace. The next 20km was also uneventful but for some cursing from one team to another about attacking through a feedzone (I was on the front so got to witness this up close). 40km down and some 70km to go. I'm feeling good, not really wanting to push the pace, but am rotating around in the first 10 wheels of the group.
Somebody goes off the front and then a second. I'm thinking, is this it? They aren't fully pushing it. Perhaps they're just probing, but I know one of the guys up there is they guy I was told about. OK. I'm in. I surge off the front, bringing a 4th guy with me (I think this is how it went down). We crest a hill and tuck into a 4 man paceline. After a minute or 2, we are still clear of the group and ED (of 852, Hong Kong) gives the orders: 30 seconds in the front, flip your right elbow and rotate back.
There are 60+km to go. There are four of us, representing four teams, ANZA (your author), Matadors (Romain Barbier), Mavericks (Ruairi Brown) and 852 (Ed Chadwick). As the Mavericks are currently holding yellow, the Maverick rider with us has no interest in helping the break going fast. He is there to mind us. We slow down from 42 to 38 kph whenever he is in the front. Either he isn't as strong or just wants to slow us down. It doesn't matter. He has to go. Luckily a bridge comes into sight. After the bridge, he is no longer with us. Did we drop him? Did he sit up? Doesn't matter. There are now three of us. Camaraderie is formed. Encouragement is given. Each of us wants to win, but for any of us to succeed, we NEED each other to be equals for the next 50+km. We remind each other to eat and drink. The wind is beating down on us. The sun is hot. We go on as my Garmin counts down the distance. It seems like after an hour, we get our first time gap information. I hear 4.5 minutes or so. WOW! My head cannot comprehend it. I'm elated and prematurely start dreaming of yellow (my fifth mistake). We go on. 20 minutes later, or so it seems, we hear that the time gap has closed to under 2 minutes. Time to press on.
Finally, we reach check-point Charlie and know that there is only 15km to the finish, but there are still a few large rolling hills. Going over the speed humps, Ed's lone bottle falls out. He is spent and shouts to Romain and I to go on. We do. I'm feeling it. There haven't been any cramps yet, but mindful of how my legs felt the previous day, I don't go into overdrive and keep things nice and steady. Going up one of the bigger hills, I slow down and stand up. In a momentary lapse, Romain's front wheel grazes my rear. He stays upright but goes off the road onto the gravel. I peek back, see him still upright and wonder if I should stop and wait or keep pressing. I keep pressing.
I'm last man standing with under 10km to the finish. If the race ended now, I'd have won and maybe even stolen Yellow. But this wasn't the end. I pressed on. Saving energy on the down hills and tapping out the inclines, always telling myself: don't cramp, don't cramp, don't cramp. I make the right hand turn with 5km to go. Then the left hand turn with 3km to go. I begin to think about the finish. How to handle the cobblestone round-about and the small but non-negligible incline at the last km (tips from Raoul the night before). I get a little confused just before the round-about with the direction of the road, but get to my preferred side and I'm still last man standing.
THEN I SEE YELLOW beside me. I look at the Garmin and see 1.7km left. How long was he stalking me? I see the 2nd place in the GC standing and then a second later 3rd place. I'm deflated. My legs are spent. I try to crack a joke or two as they sit with me over the next 30 seconds. They don't respond (verbally). Then, Bastian responds with his legs and attacks. The other two follow. I follow too, but not with any vigor (my seventh mistake – later I'd realize my sixth mistake). I'm spent and seeing the three podium spots ride away from me like I'm standing still I just press on at my moderate pace. Just before the finish line, I'm passed by three more riders and finish in 7th, some 15 seconds behind the stage winner Bastian. We stop some 500m past the finish line. Congrats are given, backs are patted, fists are bumped and hands are shaken. That's racing. Feeling both happy and dejected, the bike gets put against a tree and I go searching for fluids.
Thus ends the racing portion of the weekend. I end up 5th in the GC. I decide that I met my goal of the weekend of 'racing strong and making some noise', but unfortunately no podiums.
Calories are consumed. Award ceremonies are watched, my bike is sent to the bike depot for transfer back to Singapore and my room is hastily packed. The ferry ride over is uneventful and no vomiting.
I load my 20kg bag onto my back (my 8th mistake – next year, leave the floor pump, bike lock and half my tools at home) and slowly pedal 25km home for recovery ride 1, thinking about what I learned over the weekend. This is where I realized m 6th mistake: When you're in a 90+ minute break and know you either commit for [potential] glory or fail early, EAT YOUR CALORIES; ALL OF THEM. I finished stage 3 with over 2 gels left in my gel bottles and a handful of apricots.
Back to the measuring stick. I'm improving, but there is still work to do. There are areas to work on. Back to the quote from the beginning: "Any fit 40 something can be fast on a bike." This is true (well, I'm not 40 yet…). But now comes the hard part of trying to be a contender: finishing strong.

A great introductory acoustic, priced for anyone to afford.
From Rogue comes this amazing deal in the RA-90 dreadnought acoustic guitar with Road Runner RRDWA case. The Rogue guitar is an ideal instrument for the beginner, or young musician. The body depth and width bring out balanced tone and plenty of projection to be heard from across the room.
This ultra-affordable dreadnought acoustic guitar features a whitewood body, which brings out lots of mid-range punch. The nato neck adds sustain without losing any strength in tone. The painted maple bridge and fingerboard add clarity to each note, and a striking look to the front of the guitar. The RA-090's C-shape neck, 1-2/3" nut width, and 16" radius help with intricate fretboard movements when running up and down the 20 frets. The RA-90 also features nickel hardware and covered tuners. This Rogue acoustic guitar will certainly get the job done, at a price that anybody can afford.
The soft, plush interior protects your dreadnought from scratches and nicks, plus Road Runner uses a special, eco-friendly, dye-free material, which eliminates the release of polluting bi-products into the environment.

A night completely devoted to running around your neighborhood and wreaking havoc? Mark this one down under things New Jersey does better than any other state. That may or may not be because New Jersey is the only state that celebrates Mischief Night, but we'll take it.
Mischief Night – Noun. The New Jersey-centric holiday celebrated on October 30, which entails neighborhood youth playing pranks and performing minor acts of vandalism.
Example: "Are we going out bombing on Mischief Night?"
When: October 30
According to this survey, this date means nothing to most of America. In New Jersey, though, the night before Halloween is knowns as Mischief Night and it's pretty amazing. Ok, so let's clarify, not everyone calls it Mischief Night. In some northern New Jersey areas, October 30 is also referred to as Goosey Night or Cabbage Night. Since neither a goose nor any cabbage are necessarily involved, Mischief Night is the simplest way to describe what happens on October 30.
"Man, I wish I grew up in New Jersey," says Sonja M., a Florida native married to a New Jersey one. "Around here we called it a school night, but Joe talks about that night with fond memories."
What do those memories entail?
"Shaving cream on cars, soaped up windows, toilet paper in trees…complete hijinx!" Sonja says.
Nicole Calderone, a lifelong New Jersey resident who does not participate in the nightly events anymore, but enjoys seeing neighborhood kids keeping the tradition alive, looks back with nostalgia, too.
"When I was a kid, we went 'bombing,' which meant throwing globs of shaving cream onto people's cars. I would come home covered in the stuff. Not too many kids go out anymore, though."
That may be because some places in the state, like Brick Township and Sayreville, have imposed Mischief Night curfews to ensure no real damage is done to cars and houses. So, how did this night get so out of control?
According to a report by The Guardian, the earliest known appearance of the term "mischief night" dates back to 1790 in Oxford, England. A headmaster at St. John's college documented his encouragement of students to get out there and have some fun.
The night ended in, "an Ode to Fun which praises children's tricks on Mischief Night in most approving terms."
Other historians claim that the stress of the Great Depression and threat of war led to neighborhood mischief and vandalism.
To offset the tension, migrating Irish and Scottish immigrants – many of whom who landed in New York and ultimately New Jersey – recreated the tradition of Halloween to bring some joy back into their kids' lives…and to try to get them to stop setting things on fire.
See, what started as a bit of "child's play" and pranks, eventually turned into violence as tension in the country grew. To stem the chaos, parents began offering candy and costumes to children as a way of distracting them from their naughty deeds. While this worked for the most part, it left all of the pranksters to move their activities to the night before Halloween. New Jersey, meet Mischief Night.
Whatever the origins of the phrase are, Mischief Night is a regional holiday in New Jersey. And even though it may not be as celebrated as it once was, it is another example of how immigration plays an important role in shaping New Jersey's history and image.

Not only is drawing the underlying basis for painting, printmaking, and sculpture, but it is a fascinating medium on its own. This class will assist students in drawing objects proportionately, understanding composition, suggesting space, line variation, and building value structure. Starting with pencil, graphite, and charcoal and later adding pen and ink/ink wash, students will work from objects in still life arrangements and from their own photographs.

Where do I begin?
This is a question I struggled with a lot. I did a lot of research and talked to moms about how they plan their family's meals, how far into the future do they plan, how did they keep track, how did they grocery shop, etc. It seemed like an impossible task, especially now that we have 2 kiddos sucking all of my time and energy.
More times than I'd like to remember, it would be 4 in the afternoon and I wouldn't have any idea what we were going to have for dinner that night. I would sift through what we had in the freezer and pray that whatever meat was in there would defrost quickly so I could start cooking. It rarely thawed in a timely fashion which meant a lot of late dinners, or Hubby picking up fast food on his way home. My "system" (aka: winging it) wasn't working.
In our early twenties, when it was just the two of us, that was fine, but now I had the diets and well-beings of two little boys to consider. Things needed to change.
Research mode
I spent hours (spread over weeks of nap times) researching planning methods, organization tips and tricks of the trade. I sifted through hundreds of recipes, trying to find ones that I felt confident in making, that I believed my family would like, that didn't have crazy ingredients, that were healthy and decently quick/easy to prepare.
4 months of trial and error and I've stream-lined my new planning system. I spent 20 minutes one night at the end of February, planning the entire month of March's dinners, and making my grocery list. It was super easy and I've only had to deviate from my plan twice, once involving pizza (but I was sick that day, so it's not a normal circumstance).
I added a new level to my system by limiting myself to a $200 a month grocery budget, pulled from our tax refund. I withdrew $200 from the bank and only use that cash for groceries. It's been flawless, so far. If this part of my system works out, that means $2,400 a year has been "saved" from our monthly spending by using our tax refund to cover it. I'd call that a win.
Sharing my knowledge
Now that I've gotten most of the kinks worked out of my monthly meal planning system, I want to pass my knowledge on to you!
I have created a PDF filled with a blank calendar, weekly menu, inventory list, shopping list, tips and tricks, recipe dividers to help organize your own meal planning binder, and my step-by-step process to successful monthly meal planning.
It's available for download through my new little Etsy Shop for just $1.99! Think about it, if my system saves you from even one dinner of late night takeout, you've made back the cost of my packet, and then some!
The entire thing is 28 pages long. You can download and print the entire thing, or just print pages as you need them.
There is also a compact version that is 15 pages long and only $0.99, if you prefer to keep your recipes and meal plans in a smaller (approx 9 in) binder, rather than a normal sized notebook or binder.

Raffles Hotel Le Royal
Raffles Hotel Le Royal has stood for 90 years, its walls bearing witness to countless events in Phnom Penh's history. Hotel Le Royal was the largest building of its kinds in the area, designed uniquely to reflect Khmer perspectives on Art-Deco architecture. The luxury resort has even hosted Cambodian royalty, with His Majesty Sisowath Monivong attending the opening ceremonies in 1929. After being acquired by Raffles in the 1990s, the hotel underwent extensive renovations, reopening in 1997.
Featuring 175 rooms, Raffles Hotel Le Royal provides unrivaled guest hospitality. Rooms feature amenities such as a minibar, flat screen televisions, bathrobes, designer toiletries, nightly turn-down service, and free WiFi. There are restaurants on-site that offer several types of native cuisine, including French and Khmer inspired dishes. The Hotel Le Royal offers nine, extravagant meeting rooms to those interested in hosting events for grand events. Guests to the hotel have the option of visiting the Raffles Spa, where they can swim in the 25-meter pool, relax in the sauna, steam room, or Jacuzzi, or take individualized yoga classes. There are even special treatments, such as massage and facials, that use Dermatologica products.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal is close to many popular tourist attractions. Wat Phnom, a very tall Buddhist Temple, is a five-minute walk from Le Royal, as is the Royal Palace, where the King of Cambodia has lived since its construction in 1866. Guests are also within a two-mile radius of Central Market, where they can find a fascinating range of goods and souvenirs.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal, a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2018, dates back to 1929.

WANG Xianfeng
Xianfeng Wang seeks to understand how hydro-climate changes in the tropics during late Pleistocene and Holocene relate to those in other parts of the world, if they are connected at all, and how tropical climate changes influence human society or vice versa. To achieve this, he and his team work with both terrestrial and marine sediment samples from the tropics, including speleothems and corals. Sample ages are typically determined by high precision radiometric dating techniques, while their stable isotopic compositions and elemental ratios are often applied for semi-quantitative climate assessments and correlations. Studies like this help pinpoint the much needed context for predicting future climate change.

It's titled, "When A Child Outgrows the Safety Net," and it traces the journey, as my son begins to navigate his way in the world, without the therapy sessions, special accommodations, school pull-outs, and other supports that began in preschool. It's also about my emergence from the dual role of mother-advocate -- a longed-for transition, but not such an easy one after all. My brave and fabulous son Sean not only allowed me to share this story, but cheered me on and was a thoughtful editor, too.
When I announced the impending publication at dinner the other night, my nine-year-old son Paul, already attuned to how long I often wait between the acceptance of a piece and its publication, asked, "Mom, have you been waiting a long time for this?"
"Yes, honey," I said, "About 35 years."

When using Class Tuition Charges to bill class tuition, you have an option to automatically Detect Duplicate Charges. It is essential to understand how duplicate charges are detected if you plan to use this feature.
Duplicate charges are detected using Charge Categories. Whenever you create a charge in iClassPro, you assign it to a charge category which acts as a label for the type of charge you are creating.
For example, most gyms who use monthly billing would create a charge category to charge tuition each month- such as "August Tuition." Then, any tuition fees that are processed for August enrollments would be assigned that charge category (both when creating charges manually and from the Class Tuition Charges task under Transactions). Other non-tuition charges would be processed under separate charge categories such as "Registration Fees," "Meet Fees," "Uniforms," or "Merchandise."
When you run Class Tuition Charges, the option to detect and prevent duplicate charges is selected by default. Choose the time period the software uses to look for the duplicate charges on family ledgers by adjusting the "Within the Past" drop down menu. This detection period will tell the software to search family ledgers for that length of history to find any charges connected to the same enrollment(s) being billed which used the same charge category being applied now. Enrollments with charges that match that description are then automatically de-selected from the preview with a note that a "duplicate charge was detected". To bill the enrollment anyway, the box next to the enrollment must be manually selected before processing charges.
If you do not wish to use the Detect Duplicate Charges feature, simply deselect the "Prevent Duplicate Transactions" option.
What's the difference between detection periods?
There are several periods to choose from to tell the program how to detect duplicate charges. A description of each option is provided below:
1 Month- Searches family ledgers for the last 30 days for any charges using the charge category specified in your preview, which is connected to active enrollments during this billing period.
1 Year- Searches for charges in family ledgers for the last 365 days using the specified charge category that are connected to the active enrollments during this billing period.
6 Months- Searches the last six months of charges using the specified charge category that are connected to the active enrollments during this billing period. (Recommended for Monthly billing.)
All Previous by Charge Category Only- Searches the entire family ledger history and all enrollments for that family using that charge category. Meaning the charge category may be used on an unrelated charge, but will still not be replicated. This option is best used for one-time use charge categories.
All Previous by Enrollment and Charge Category- This option will search the family's ledger for any charges created with that charge category and tied specifically to the active enrollments during this billing period. This is the default option.

Malaysia sets up new task force over 1MDB scandal
Malaysia has set up a special task force that will look into the possible criminal conduct of individuals involved in the management of state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), the prime minister's office said.
The task force, which will include the anti-graft agency, police and the central bank, will also be responsible for identifying and seizing assets acquired using funds allegedly siphoned from the state fund, which was set up in 2009 by former Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Najib's near 10-year rule ended in electoral defeat on May 9 against Mahathir Mohamad, his former ally.
"This task force will also be responsible for seeking cooperation of various enforcement agencies in the United States, Switzerland, Singapore, Canada and other related countries," the office of Prime Minister Mahathir said on Monday.
All heads of the new task force were part of the investigations into 1MDB in 2015 before they were removed or sidelined by the government at the time.
The news site Malaysia Kini reported on Monday that former Attorney General Abdul Gani, who is a member of the new body, had told Mahathir that he was in the midst of preparing to charge Najib when he was removed.
Najib, who is banned from leaving the country, is being investigated by the new government of Mahathir over a corruption scandal at 1MDB, from which officials are alleged to have stolen more than $4.5bn.
Some of that money is alleged to have ended up in Najib's personal bank account, according to a civil lawsuit in the US.
Unauthorized use of news, image, information, etc published by BD24Live.com is punishable by copyright law. Appropriate legal steps will be taken by the management against any person or body that infringes those laws.

L.A. Now Live: Latest on manhunt for Ex-LAPD cop Christopher Dorner
Join Times staff writers Andrew Blankstein and Phil Willon at 9:30 a.m. Friday to discuss the latest on the search for fugitive ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner, wanted on suspicion of killing three people -- including one cop -- and wounding two others in Southern California attacks.
Police across California and Nevada launched an unprecedented manhunt involving hundreds of officers from dozens of agencies.
In a Facebook manifesto police say Dorner wrote, he ranted against LAPD personnel who he said fired him unfairly. He threatened revenge, "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" against police and their families, saying he would stalk them "where you work, live, eat, and sleep."
Authorities took him at his word.
"Of course he knows what he's doing — we trained him," Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said. "It is extremely worrisome and scary, especially to the police officers involved."
The search on Friday remained centered in Big Bear, where Dorner's Nissan Titan was found burning on a forest road. Snowy tracks were spotted near the trucks, but did not lead to Dorner.

Everyone knows that texting while you drive is illegal. Despite this, there are many people from teens to adults who still text, check their emails and use their smartphones while they drive.
Combining texting with driving a commercial vehicle has the potential to cause serious accidents and even to kill those involved. A commercial vehicle is heavy and more difficult to control than a passenger vehicle. Additionally, they require more time to speed up and slow down along with more room to make turns. A driver who is distracted could make a mistake that costs someone else his or her life.
In America, there are nine people who are killed each day due to accidents involving eating, texting or using a cellphone. In fact, 33 percent of American drivers between 18 and 64 have admitted to texting or reading a text behind the wheel in the last month.
In 2013, 341,000 crashes took place because of texting alone. What's so sad about this is that these accidents could have been avoided completely. The people who suffered injuries or died may have been spared. Texting or using a cellphone behind the wheel increases a driver's risk of being involved in an accident by four times, which is a significant increase in risk.
There is no reason for a truck driver to text behind the wheel. It's illegal, and it puts your life in danger. If you've been hit by a truck driver who was using his or her cellphone behind the wheel, you may be able to seek compensation for his or her negligent actions. Your attorney can help you file your claim while you focus on your recovery.

I always believed resilience was the ability to bounce back, stay tough, fight through adversity. In fact, the definition in the Cambridge Business English Dictionary says "resilience is the quality of being able to return quickly to a previous good condition after problems." That's the definition under which I operated … until this morning.
Early today I received a link to a 2016 Harvard Business Review (HBR) article that changed my mind. The article is called "Resilience Is About How You Recharge, Not How You Endure."
The article states that we teach our children about the other definition of resilience from the time they are young. There is a school project due tomorrow? We tell them they have to put in the hours to get it done. They didn't plan well? Get over it, and do what's needed. (Some of us would stay up to help or at least keep them company while they did the work. 😊)
Teaching this behavior often carries into career years. Having worked for a dynamic, fast-paced company for many years, I confess I was a workaholic who thrived on getting things done, helping others, and being available whenever the company or employees needed me. Taking time to recharge on vacations was uncomfortable for me for many years. I remember one summer, I received FedEx packages while we were on vacation in Cape May, NJ. It took me years to realize that the stock wouldn't plummet if I took my paid time off. I'm much better at it today, thank goodness.
The HBR article says the "lack of recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful." Aha! We NEED the downtime in order to BE resilient? Yes. That makes sense, doesn't it? You can't be resilient if you are not rested. You can't bounce back and take the next run at the problem, if you don't have the strength or positive mental attitude.
10 ways to build resilience and find more time
There's a great book called "Find More Time" by Laura Stack. Here are some key take-aways to consider:
- Organize what Stack calls the eight pillars of your life: plans, priorities, personalities, pests (meaning pesky issues), possessions, paper, posts, and play.
- Evaluate your priorities. Put them first.
- Focus on one project at a time instead of multi-tasking; this improves the quality of work and your overall productivity.
- Toss outdated publications. Not only are they old news, but you can probably find the information online if you need to reference it in the future. I add to this a tip I heard from Oprah: If you aren't having fun reading a book for pleasure, stop reading it. It was a very freeing feeling when I adopted this practice.
- Set aside time for friends and family vacations.
- Take time to replenish yourself on a regular basis.
To these I add a few of my own:
- Schedule breaks and down time during your day; protect that time on your calendar.
- Learn to say 'no.' Do it in a nice way so as not to offend, but do it.
- Unplug from technology. (I'm still working on this one!)
- Find a hobby and make it a priority at least once a week.
Four incorrect assumptions I have carried with me for years
From a personal perspective, I realize that I have held onto four statements, four assumptions, over many years of working in the corporate world. Here they are in case you are curious … and perhaps they are similar to a few of your own:
- It is necessary to work through lunch.
- I don't have time to read for pleasure.
- Enjoying the serenity of my back yard is reserved for weekends or vacation days.
- When you leave a company to start your own enterprise, keeping in touch with friends will be difficult.
I am happy to say I was wrong
Over the last few weeks, I have changed routines, and can happily say that the above assumptions are not true. They were self-imposed, and they have changed for the better. Here's how:
- Most days I carve out 30-60 minutes to step away from the computer and have something to eat. It may not necessarily be at the same time every day, but I've been able to take the break. It's been easier to do than I thought it would be, and I find myself refreshed when I return to the computer.
- Instead of reading the latest business books and articles, (which I still enjoy), I've made it a point to read fun books, too. I actually put it on my daily To Do List each morning: "read and relax." This reminds me to take at least 30 minutes to unplug. I've been exploring some new authors, too. (If you have any suggestions, email me!)
- We have a lovely back yard that we typically only appreciated on the weekends. With the pace of Corporate America and my commute to the office most days, I spent little time enjoying the views. Today that has changed. Having the flexibility of a home office, I can work from the table on our deck. In fact, I am writing this from my new favorite chair.
- Keeping in touch with friends from my former employer has been easier than I imagined. We are all connected in so many ways that it has been easy keeping up with their goings-on while sharing my updates as well. In addition to my old social circles, I've made new friends through neighborhood and business networks.
What are some ways to build resilience?
If you want to build your resilience, you need to slow down. Make some conscious choices today that will help you feel better tomorrow. Just because there are 1440 minutes in a day doesn't mean every single one has to be scheduled. Take charge and recharge. You are in the driver's seat to make it happen. Let me know how you do.
Have a great day!

When Chia Puddings first came out in the supermarkets to buy in convenient little take home packs I was more than a little bit excited!
But to be honest they were…
BLAND. In capitals!
At the time I had little inclination or time to cook, was not on my Paleo inspired band-wagon and so apart from dropping some in my morning smoothies these little powerful super-seeds were put on the back burner.
And then one day at a local organic cafe I had a chia pudding parfait for breakfast. And the flavour really packed a bang. And they'd made the chia pudding in house. With coconut milk.
So with that newfound information I was off to find (or occasionally create) all the flavour-filled, fabulous chia seed pudding recipes I could.
I wanted to share one of my absolute favourites – adapted from Sarah Britton's MyNewRoots cookbook. Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy – it's brimming with great recipes and some fantastic tips healthy cooking techniques and stocking your pantry.
- ¼ cup Chia Seeds
- 1 can (400ml) Coconut Milk
- ⅔ cup Frozen Blueberries
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 Tbs Honey or Rice Malt Syrup
- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- Handful fresh blueberries
- Combine the Chia Seeds and coconut milk in a bowl and allow to form a thick gel in the fridge - a couple of hours works but overnight is best.
- Pour the chia mixture into a blender.
- Add the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, honey or rice malt syrup and cardamom
- Blend until thick creamy and smooth.
- Serve immediately, topping with fresh blueberries

Tech Specifications
Resolves content duplication-allowing canonical URL tags in the head section for pages on your site.
Other Extensions by Scommerce Mage Ltd
OverviewBack to top
Our extension resolves a major issue of content duplication. It does this in a number of ways, including selecting the preferred URL for you. There are 2 main things to consider. First, full duplication - which is when the content on 2 or more pages is identical. i.e. same product in different categories. Second - partial duplication - which is when only the minor part of the content (or layout) is unique. I.e. sorting products, pagination, variations of the same product and so on. Thus, URLS should be different (else you will be penalized by Google). The pages will be accessible to the users&also redirect the crawlers to the correct page - critical for SEO.
This module allows you to set a canonical URL link tag in the head section for the category, product and CMS pages on your Magento 2 website. It comes with a robots meta tag that you can set on every individual page. On each page, using this extension, you can set (a) no index, no follow, (b) index, no follow and, (c) no index, follow.
The main features of the canonical URL module are below:
· Allows you to add or override the canonical URL tag for category pages.
· Allows you to add or override the canonical URL tag for product pages with or without the category path.
· Allows you to add the primary category path in the canonical tag for the product pages.
· Allows you to add the canonical URL tag for the CMS pages.
· Allows you to set "no index" and also "no follow" any page of your website, including specific CMS, product and category pages.
· Allows you to map one category to another for the canonical URL tags.
E.g. shoes -> heels & shoes -> new style. You can have shoes category as canonical tags.
· Allows you to append text to all category canonical URLs – working extremely well when you have filters, pagination&sorting on category pages.
E.g. you can add ?limit=all to all of the category pages, meaning Google will only index one unique category URL, instead of multiple versions of the same category page.
· Resolves the duplicate content problem for your site, as the search engines will find one unique URL for each page of your site with the help of canonical tags.
· Fully supports multi-websites and multi-stores.
· Can be used in conjunction with Magento inbuilt canonical tag functionalities.
· Can be completely disables whenever required, via a system configuration in the admin.
We have implemented this module on our demo website for you to have a look, please email us your gmail ID and we are more than happy to share our test Google Analytics account with you.
We provide 20 days free support from the date of purchase for any standard Magento site. Installation service is also available with 30 days free support for any standard Magento Site. If you need any help with this extension or you want to enhance this extension to meet your business needs, please contact email@example.com and we will get in touch with you. And if we like your idea we might do the solution at discounted rate or for free.

Slaughtering Animals as Sadaqah During times of DroughtQ: Imaan-110 : Because there has been no rain in our village, the locals have embarked on a collection to purchase grains and goats to distribute amongst the poor. Can these grains and meat be given to non-Muslims?Answer: It is incorrect to start collections during such times and to then think that it is compulsory to distribute the meat. Each person may donate in the name of Allaah whatever he can afford. The tradition of slaughtering goats is wrong. Optional Sadaqah may be given to no-Muslims as well. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.Fatawa Rahimmiyyah (vol. 1)

Hi, tell us about Tonbridge Philharmonic Society
Comprising of a friendly mixed voice choir and orchestra, the Society works hard to provide exceptional performances, under the professional baton of their illustrious Music Director Matthew Willis who works with both amateur and professional musicians across the UK and Europe.
We perform up to five concerts each season, 2 are orchestral, plus a Charity Carol concert, in venues that include the stunning Tonbridge School Chapel.
The Society welcomes new members to the choir and sections of the orchestra.
The Hildenborough Mums website is aimed at families in and around Tonbridge & Hildenborough. Why do you think Tonbridge Philharmonic Society would appeal to them?
The society is looking to grow the next generation of members – to come and listen to, sing or play with the Society.
In 2014 they appointed a new inspiring dynamic professional music director which is bringing in new members, often parents with school age children as the rehearsals are in the evenings from 7.45pm.
Music can do so much for those who get involved, Did you know music can relax and destress you – by doing simple breathing techniques, that don't involve yoga or lying down – just learning how to sing properly! And it's fun and rewarding too.
It is a joy to see parents invite their children and family to their performances – and it gives their children a joy of listening to music, and hopefully inspire them to pursue their music or take up singing!
Tell us a bit about what Tonbridge Philharmonic Society brings to the local community
The Society holds their Family Carols in Tonbridge School chapel with all proceeds going to local charities.
Where can we find you?
If you are able to read music and sing in tune, we'd love to hear from you.
Rehearsals are at Tonbridge School on Wednesdays 7.45-9.30pm from September to July.
And though we are sure you will enjoy singing with us, you are welcome to come to a rehearsal as a free taster to try us out.
Just contact our Choral chairperson firstname.lastname@example.com
If you are a strings or brass player, grade 8 + standard we would like to hear from you.
Rehearsals are at Tonbridge School on Mondays 7.45-9.30pm from September to July and you are welcome to come and sit in and observe a rehearsal at any time.
You can contact our Orchestral chairperson email@example.com
Our membership subscriptions are very reasonable.
Lastly, tell us an interesting fact about yourself!
The Tonbridge Philharmonic Society was formed in 1946. Initially formed as a choir the orchestra was subsequently formed in 1958 and TPS remain to this day one of the few music societies with both a chorus and orchestra.

7 Stars Who Look Alike
It's said that everybody has a doppelganger (a.k.a. look-alike) somewhere out in the world. And this yields true for celebrities, too, apparently.
As wild as it is to think there are people out there who look like some of our favorite celebs, it's even more mind-blowing that some of Hollywood's shining stars actually do look freakishly similar to one another.
Don't believe us? Check out these seven pairs of Hollywood look-alikes, below:

Purpose of this Blog
This is a blog I use to keep a record of things I explore while I'm on a very limited budget. That budget can be artificial, imagined or otherwise a reality. This blog is not only for me to remember the journeys I take, but to give it structure and think of ways it can be improved. If I do not heavily revise posts I make, I will be creating iterations of them.
Some of the topics I plan to cover are: food, housing, technology, entertainment and meta-topics like running this blog itself. I hope the information I share is worthy enough to provide value to those who are part of my kin. Who are my kin? Those who can appreciate my journey and methods.
This is not a blog for just any posts, though. It is not a blog for me to vent daily frustrations or other behaviors from angst or awe. This is a blog for budgeting and surviving; not art. I count entertainment as a basic human need and not necessarily artistic or with purpose; sometimes people just want to 'veg out'. The structure put in place for this sort of entertainment are profit-run enterprises which can be budgeted.
As you can probably tell, anything which is associated with money, I do not associate with purposeful or artistic expression. Some may call budgeting or accounting an art in itself, as they count rational inquiry as a form of art itself, but I'm not counted among them. Or, at the very least, I do not see money as anything but a tool for specific ends.
I may, at times, present my own opinion in the articles I write, but they will take on a minor role. I have other avenues for activism and I will keep the separate. If you find value in the content posted here, it is meant for you. If you can derive the deeper meaning of that, you'll have some insight into my 'other life', as inevitably all of me will present itself in anything I create.

The Queen Sweep
5-Day Mini Sweep
Less Clutter. More beauty.
Five things you can do starting today to make your life more gorgeous, from Katherine North, creator of the Queen Sweep Master Class.
Spam is such bad karma. I would never.
Hi! I'm Katherine.
I'm a Portland/Tokyo city girl who moved to the Canadian 'burbs last year for true love. Even though I didn't even BELIEVE in true love. But then I fell in love and the universe snort-laughed. In the process, I gained four more kids (for a glorious total of FIVE!), a dog, and a snake. Let's not talk about the snake.
So I'm currently rocking it out in my Dodge minivan, wondering if fierce feminist 41-year-olds can really still call themselves "girls," and wanting to tell you right up front that I swear a lot, I'm a queer feminist married to a transgender man, and I'm not very good at small talk. Just in case you need to walk away quietly before someone gets hurt.
But what I am very good at is:
- turning the chaos of life into humming systems that bring sanity to our crazy household of 7,
- making life gorgeous even when it's messy (because diapers but also PEONIES),
- and then teaching those systems to other people.
Also? My secret mission is a global takeover by the wise women. And for the wise women to take over, we've got to be able to find our keys.
So I hope you'll join me for this free, easy mini-Sweep!
My mantra: less clutter, more beauty. Because life is messy but we can make it gorgeous anyway.
Spam is such bad karma. I would never.


text: Every so often people will try new skincare products in hopes of switching up their current routine. Or they're looking to replace a product that's no longer working out for them. I recently had the opportunity to test out three new products from Ceramedx: Extra Gentle Cleanser, Restoring Body Lotion, and Ultra Moisturizing Cream.
