Lynn Hunt and Jack R. Censer's The French Revolution and Napoleon provides a globally-oriented narrative history of events from 1789 until the fall of Napoleon. It emphasizes the global origins and consequences of the French Revolution and explains why it is the formative event for modern politics. The book integrates global competition, fiscal crisis, slavery and the beginnings of nationalism with the more traditional emphases on human rights and constitutions, terror and violence, and the rise of authoritarianism. This global approach then enables the authors – two world-renowned scholars in the field – to clearly illustrate how the…

IMPHAL, Apr 1: It is unlikely that the State Government would be able to provide urea at its normal price to farmers this kharif season. An official source said that even though the price of urea remains at Rs 276.10 per bag till March 31 at MRP, the same would cost about Rs 600 in Manipur.
The cost of urea charged by the Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation (BVFC), Namrup is Rs 189.13 per bag. After adding all the taxes, the Government of India is providing urea to Manipur at the maximum retail price of Rs 276.10 per bag.
But the price of urea has been increased to Rs 3848.38 per metric ton from today. This means the ex-Namrup price would rise to Rs 192.40 per bag.
However, the exact price for Manipur for a bag of urea has not been fixed as yet.
Nevertheless, in addition to Rs 1450 given as freight subsidy by the Centre for a truck load of 9 metric ton capacity, the dealers are paying Rs 50,000 to each truck as transport charge.
For a truck of 9 metric ton capacity, the Centre is giving a freight subsidy of Rs 13050.
On the other hand transportation of one truck load of urea from Namrup to Imphal costs Rs 63050 whereas the dealer margin guaranteed by the Centre is Rs 180 per metric tonne which means Rs 9 per bag.
Taking into account the transportation charge, dealer margin and the 5 per cent VAT, one bag of urea would cost Rs 492 per bag in Manipur. However, this is exclusive of the 'taxes' levied along the highway to Imphal.
If the money paid at these taxes and the commissions given to agents by dealers are taken into account, it remains a big question whether the Government would be able to provide urea to farmers at Rs 600 per bag.
Even as the Agriculture Department has been striving for the last many years to provide urea to farmers at the normal price, the department has achieved little success.
Yet, the Government has been making all efforts to ship in adequate quantity of fertilizers on NH 39 in view of the deplorable condition of NH 53.
The State Agriculture Minister and top officials struck an agreement with BVFC recently for shipping adequate quantity of urea of Manipur before the onset of rainy season. Even as the State Government has proposed allocation of 37500 metric tonnes of urea for the kharif season, the matter has not been finalized as yet.
Nevertheless, the Government has acceded to allocation of 3730 metric tonnes of urea for the month of April.

Retired Carlton champion Chris Judd has been appointed to the club's coaching selection panel to find a new coach, along with Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou.
The club announced the selection panel via a mailout to Carlton members earlier today.
The panel is made up of five members, with Chief Executive Steven Trigg chairing the selection committee.
Other members include former Blues player Ken Sheldon and executive head hunter David Campbell.
"It will be an exhaustive and thorough process, as we know that is what our members expect," Trigg said in a statement to the club's members.
"We have captured a blend of perspectives from experienced coaches to a younger perspective fresh from the game. The panel has an 'in football' emphasis, with an 'out of football' perspective — and the expertise we need to make deep, clear assessments of all candidates."

DAVIE (CBSMiami) – Jay Cutler is most likely heading into his final game as a Miami Dolphin. The team hosts the Buffalo Bills on Sunday for their 2017 finale.
Also likely: Sunday could be the final game of Jay Cutler's career.
Cutler came out of a brief retirement to join the Dolphins midway through training camp, when starter Ryan Tannehill suffered a season-ending knee injury.
After seeing Miami win 10 games and qualify for the playoffs in 2016, Cutler and head coach Adam Gase likely viewed his South Florida arrival as a chance to plug-and-play for another postseason bid.
Instead, the team has stumbled to a 6-7 record through 15 games, and have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Cutler had an uneven season, with 14 interceptions along the way.
But if you ask Jay, he has no regrets for interrupting his retirement.
"It was a great experience," Cutler said. "It's a really good locker room, really good coaches, great organization, great owner, and I had a really good time."
But will he let the good times roll into 2018?
Cutler won't disclose his long term plans, but was willing to answer hypotheticals about his future. When asked what a potential reason would be for playing again next season, he cited his love for the game.
"I love playing football," said Cutler. "You can only do it for so long. Everyone has a point in their career where they can't play anymore. Whether it's your decision or someone else's decision, it happens."
On the flip side, Cutler was asked to give reasons why not to return next season.
"Being away from my family. If someone doesn't want me to play anymore… a lot of these decisions are out of a player's control."
Cutler has been living apart from his wife and children since arriving in South Florida. He's been bunking in a hotel since August, while his family remains in Nashville, TN.
When asked if he'd be willing to continue his NFL career as a backup, rather than a starter, Cutler didn't hold back in his response.
"I wouldn't want to move again or go somewhere just to (be a) back up."
With that said, this Sunday could be the final time Cutler suits up for an NFL game. The Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills at 4:25 PM at Hard Rock Stadium.

Fashion should be fun and with my photography I love to create those fun moments.
Valencia, Madrid, Paris
new terminal ( and looks like they are building another one like it as well ) and it's a walk on tarmac ( love that , as opposed to bus ) not my plane take off, and a dirty sensor plus dirty window, not a good picture makes Valencian coastline
about a hundred or so Kms outside Madrid, and looking a lot drier Madrid airport
an hour later boarding on another plane, and on other side of same plane iin previous shot terminal as we taxi, I notice the storm looming onthe horizon, and heading our way, plus, looks we are taking off heading straight for it ( good thing Jacqui is not on this flight with me, doubt she would like the look of that, and sound of that, taking off head on into a storm ) yep, looks nasty bring it on nice, land could use some of that rain nice, nature at work nice how you can see the rain falling on this , ahem, sweltry day,
dam in between rain clouds
once through the storm ( was very smooth by the way, surprisingly ) the scene changes Spanish coast line , near Mundaka hang on a minute hmmm, yes, just as I thought, surf is up, not fair, when we were here this time last year, it was flat flat flat the sun lines up , for good filter pics like I did on our way to Fiji awesome ! another lot of pics to add to my wish list to print
Lacanau area ( anyone living here, would this just not make a nice big framed photo on one your friends walls !!, Call me !! ) change the angle of camera, and that effect I like does not work, it really has to be on that right angle to the sun's reflection for it to work French farmland outside Paris
land , get car, deal with peak hour traffic of the peripherique and then 3 hours drive, finally home after midnight, tired. And up again early to do another shoot with Frederik & Jantine from the academy

Down with Decibels
We are fortunate enough to live in a very quiet village.
Of course it is not all fortune; we chose to live in what seemed to be a very quiet village & good fortune has kept it that way, so far.
Nearly always, the loudest noise is birdsong, against a background of insect buzzing, and I can take a lot of that.
Sometimes you imagine you could hear the butterflies.
Actually, the loudest noise is the church clock, which is 100 meters away & chimes every 15 minutes, day & night.
We like it, and missed it on the rare occasions it has been out of action, but some guests have found it difficult to sleep with.
We have ear plugs for extreme cases.
Surprisingly for a tiny rural village, the 1784 church's clock is radio-controlled from Frankfurt, so when it wakes you up at 4 a.m. you know it is exactly 04.00 hrs & not a second later.
Then, every spring, another few resident or visiting idiots reach the age when they have to take all the stuffing out of their mo-ped's silencer and go paarp-paarp-paarping through the village.
Oh, how I wish for a very big fly-swat, Monty-Python style…
There are enough existing laws to prevent them, and enough Gendarmes too, and the proof couldn't be easier, but I have never seen a single case of a noisy bike being crushed, confiscated, impounded or even stopped & asked politely to get back to normal.
Less extreme, but far more frequent, are the lawn mowers, strimmers, chainsaws & leaf-blowers.
Here, I have to plead guilty, or at least a bit guilty.
I never had a chainsaw & consistently refuse my kind neighbour's offers to lend me his, preferring to saw calmly by hand, even though it takes 50 times longer.
I never had a leaf-blower & seriously think they should simply be outlawed as a public nuisance.
I have owned 3 strimmers, being initially impressed by their ingenuity, but have gone back to shears as the gentle snip-snip is so much better for my nerves & blood pressure than the scream of the strimmer.
But I am guilty on mowers.
In France, we are not talking about the typical British-garden hand-pushed cylinder-mower with its delicious swish-swish-swish soundtrack, part of the national heritage of well-oiled-machinery noises, along with treadle sewing machines & steam engines.
No, we mean 4-stroke (or worse, stinking 2-stroke) engine-powered high-speed-rotary-bladed mowers.
Why on earth are they allowed to be so noisy?
When I bought a ride-on mower 10 years ago, I got about the quietest on offer, but it was still rated at 100dB.
That is ridiculously noisy.
Last year, my 25-year-old Qualcast "small" mower, which I need for the bits the ride-on can't reach, finally expired.
I resolved to get the quietest-possible replacement.
Excluding electric, on practicality & safety grounds, and excluding sheep, on my-incompetence grounds.
As far as I could see, from extensive searching on internet & in garden shops, the quietest motor mower available was the Honda Izy 41cm.
Rated at 94dB.
But the ones I found in shops had 96dB labels on.
Eventually I found that 94 dB was the 2008 model & 96dB was pre-2008.
Nobody had the new one yet & even the official Honda agent was not prepared to order one until he had shifted his stocks of the old one.
Nobody could understand why I was bothered about 94dB when I could have 96dB now & 50€ cheaper.
After all, "who can tell the difference between 94 & 96 of anything?"
No shop or website included noise levels in the publicity arguments.
Even Consumer Organisations didn't count noise level as an important decision factor.
In the end, I managed to order a 94dB version from my local Renault dealer & I am very pleased with it.
It is quieter than many electric tools.
So why is it that there is a general belief that loud noises are a nuisance & unhealthy, yet there seems to be little or no pressure or incentive to make less noise?
If I go to buy a fridge or a light bulb, I can't avoid the big coloured signs showing me they are A, B, C, D, E, F or G for power efficiency.
But if I want to buy a mower, or an electric drill, or a kitchen blender, I need to look for the small print (if I am lucky) to find any information on noise levels, then I need to know that the sound-level scale used is logarithmic & that an insignificant-looking difference of 3dB represents a very significant doubling of sound intensity.
Until the logarithmic decibel scale is replaced by something simpler, like a big, obvious, coloured A-to-G label suitably tailored to each type of appliance & graduated with a rapid reaction to differences in the plausible range, then I don't think there is any hope of getting the general public to take an interest in the noisiness of its tools, at the purchasing stage.
Even then, faced with a choice between Euros & decibels, many people will, understandably, go for Euros.
If the noise only affected the user, that might be reasonable.
The problem is that the user saves Euros but the neighbours get the decibels.
For me, this is clearly an area where government intervention is justified.
The French Government has recently shown that globally beneficial distortions of the car market (in that case with a significant reduction in CO2 output) can easily be induced by smart differential taxation.
As far as I can see, nobody is complaining.
No doubt a global reduction in noise nuisance could quite quickly be achieved by differential taxation on noise levels, starting with the big-hitters like lawn mowers.
Such a move would encourage the public to choose quieter mowers immediately, and encourage manufacturers to bother to reduce noise levels rapidly.
Probably with little or no net cost.
Once it works for lawn mowers, we should try it on barking dogs.

Patriarchy on the decrease: It was once generally accepted that the father was the head of the family. He was the authority figure who controlled the household. In recent decades there has been a shift towards a more democratic family environment in which decision making is more equally distributed among the family members.
Child-centred families: The children may take more of a role in deciding where the family go on holiday, for example, or what the family watch on television. Families are smaller so children receive more individual attention, even if parents are spending more time at work. Campaigns by organizations like the NSPCC have helped to increase the rights of children.
Financial dependence: Whereas historically children would start work at an early age and therefore contribute towards the family income, now they are staying in education later and later. At the moment children must remain in education until they are 16. This will increase to 18 from 2015. This means children are financially dependent on their parents for longer.
The Wider family: Some sociologists suggest that geographical mobility has weakened ties between family members and that the wider family has become less important. On the other hand Charles et al (2008) found that family members still maintain regular contact, either face-to-face or via the telephone. They also found that grandmothers would often babysit their grandchildren and parents would give financial assistance to their grown up children.
What is a family?
In sociological terms, a family falls into one of the following groups.
1.) Nuclear families are made up of married or cohabiting couples who live with their off-spring.
2.) Gay or lesbian families consist of homosexual couples who live with their child or children. They may be civil partners or cohabiting.
3.) Extended families are a household or close network of relatives, usually stretching across three generations.
4.) Lone-parent families are made up of one parent and their child or children.
5.) Reconstituted families consist of households in which one or both partners have become the step parent to a child or children from a previous relationship.
Sociologists recognise that families take on diverse forms in the 21st century and define a family as a single parent living with their child or children, or a couple – who are civil partners, married or living together – with children.

Five dirty tricks (in a row)
The obvious problem with cyber-crime is that, unlike decent murdering and burglarizing criminals, they are intelligent enough to make a fool of you and your anti-viral software by using insidious methods, which are difficult to recognize. Five of their (albeit outdated) tricks have been reviewed by Erik Larkin of Yahoo.
The first one is the Glieder.H Trojan which, as many others, uses a multistage infection. The trojan has a list of processes it tries to kill, all of them associated to anti-virus programs and the mechanisms they use for updating themselves in particular. When the security is down, the trojan proceeds to download other infections from URL's hardcoded in it's structure.
The second one, the "Gozi Trojan", is responsible for stealing data encrypted using SSL/TSL. Some examples of encrypted data on the net include banking details and other such crucial information. What the Gozi Trojan does is it masquerades as part of the process, therefore, the data goes through the trojan before it gets encrypted. The effectiveness of this trojan is due to IE flaws, which as most of us came to learn are too numerous for it to be 'the browser'.
The third one Larkin lists, the SpamThru Trojan, is a bastard in the strongest meaning of the word. Not only does it fool users' AV systems, but it even downloads a pirated and patched version of Kaspersky AV to dispose of other malware, leaving only itself, the lone looter, with your computer by the balls.
Another old but still widely used tactic is that first demonstrated by the SpyAgent Trojan. It creates an administrator account of it's own and encrypts it's own files using the generic encryption system found in the majority of Windows OS'. To remove the files one would actually have to guess the account's password (or use software to do so).
Last, but not least, there is the Jowspry Trojan, one reason among others, why I keep Windows automatic update off at all times. The Jowspry Trojan along with its successors uses the mask of an innocent Windows update to deceive firewalls and "update" your system with all sorts of infections. A nice update if I ever saw one.
All of these methods have been updated many times over the years becoming the sophisticated threats security vendors have to fight today.

Cheapest prices for Manchester flights by month
When is the best time to fly to Manchester?
Choose a month below to see average flight price and weather conditions.
£94 - £123
50 - 88 mm
Peak season:
The best time to travel to Manchester is from June to September, as this is when the weather is most pleasant and there are more outdoor festivals and events. In May there is the Great Manchester Run where the city bursts with runners and camera crews so book in advance as the cost of flight tickets will be a lot more during this period of time. Spring and autumn are also good times to visit Manchester, although rain will be more likely than in the peak of Summer, you'll still have some warm weather and cheap flights to Manchester will be a lot easier to find.
Off Season:
From the end of autumn until after Christmas Manchester is less busy in regards to tourism so you'll find the cheapest flights to Manchester then. If you book early you can secure absolute bargains on flight tickets, although the downside is the weather will be a lot greyer and wetter than during the peak months. October hosts the Manchester Literature Festival, where renowned authors have been specially commissioned. Even though it's during the off peak season, you'll need to book your flights to Manchester early to save money on your flight tickets as the price will increase as October approaches.
When is the best time to book a flight to Manchester?
Normally the prices are the cheapest from December to April, with some increase as spring comes along. Christmas and New Years' can also drive up the price of your flight tickets, so secure your flights to Manchester early on in the year if you want to visit for the festive celebrations. If you are flexible then you'll have a much greater chance of finding the cheapest flights to Manchester, with some bargains found in and around the peak season if you book enough in advance. If you secure your flight tickets early enough you can grab flights from as little as £20, so it's worth scouting around if you have the flexibility on when to travel.
Which day is cheapest to fly to Manchester?
The cheapest day to fly to Manchester is usually Tuesday. At the moment, Monday is the most expensive.
What time of day is cheapest to fly to Manchester?
Manchester flights can be made cheaper if you choose a flight in the morning. Booking a flight at midday will likely mean higher prices.
How long is the flight to Manchester?
Flights from London to Manchester: 1 hour 00 minutes
Flights from Aberdeen to Manchester: 1 hour 15 minutes
Flights from Southampton to Manchester: 1 hour 00 minutes
Flights from Glasgow to Manchester: 1 hour 05 minutes
Which airlines operate flights to Manchester?
British Airways and FlyBE are the major two airlines that offer direct flights to Manchester, although other airlines such as KLM do offer cheap flight tickets but you'll have an in-direct flight. British Airways have the benefit of providing complimentary food and drinks on board their flights, however you might not be able to take advantage of this due to the short flight time. Cheap flights to Manchester are easily found though, so compare between British Airways and FlyBE over similar dates as one might be a lot cheaper than the other and vice versa.
How to get from the airport to the city centre?
There is a dedicated station at the airport which runs in association with Trainline. You can jump on to get to the centre of Manchester or even to other major cities if you need to. You can find cheap tickets online or buy them at the airport, however if you buy them in advance online you will save money. From the same station at the airport you can also get a coach, again if you buy your tickets in advance then it'll be cheaper for you. The coaches are from National Express who sometimes offer ridiculously cheap tickets, which is more than welcome after you've bought your flight tickets. Another option is to jump on a tram from the station to get into Greater Manchester. On top of that you can rent a car or get a taxi from outside the airport, however it won't be cheap and due to the many other options it would make more sense to use the public transport.

My problem
Some times I want to draw some precise lines (e.g. holding shift to create straight lines) with a big brush. Unfortunately, the cursor for the brush is just a big circle, which makes it very difficult to pick a particular pixel because you don't know precisely where the brush centre is. At the moment I'm quickly switching to "pick colour" mode to place the cursor when I want, to then turn off pick colour (without picking any colour) and keep mouse in place. But this trick doesn't work with the eraser ("pick colour" doesn't activate with the same shortcut).
A suggestion to solve it
Maybe you can change the UI of the brush circle to incorporate a dot (pixel) in the centre. That way it'll be trivial to place the centre of the brush at the exact pixel that you want.
Thanks for your time!

Excess winter deaths: routine data won't help GPs identify patients who are most at risk
Press release issued: 30 January 2018
Expecting GPs to use medical records to identify individual patients who are most vulnerable to cold weather is unrealistic, according to a study by researchers at the University of Bristol, UCL and University of Birmingham.
Guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that GPs use existing data to identify patients most at risk from living in a cold home. However, the study, funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and published in the British Journal of General Practice today, found that there was little evidence to show that vulnerable subgroups could be identified using routine primary care data.
Every year in England and Wales an average of 24,000 extra deaths occur in the months December to March than in other four-month periods of the year. Those known to be most vulnerable are older patients aged 85 and over and those with chronic health conditions such as chronic renal disease, coronary heart disease, diabetes and COPD.
The researchers analysed data from over 300 general practices in the UK for patients aged 65 and over who died over a two-year period (34,752 records). They found that every 1°C drop in temperature was associated with 1.1% increase in deaths. However, they could not clearly establish any single group of patients that were particularly affected, despite analysing an enormous dataset.
They did this by comparing the temperature in the local area on dates when a person died with temperatures a month earlier and a month later. Temperatures were generally lower when someone died, but the researchers looked to see if the difference was more marked for some groups than others.
They looked at a range of factors, all available in electronic patient records, including age, sex, living situation (whether in the community or an institution), location, and chronic conditions, and at other factors including deprivation, region, whether the patient had had an emergency hospital admission within the two years before death, and the average house energy efficiency for where they lived. No significant associations were found, though there was weak evidence of an increased risk for patients living in the north of England and for men.
Professor Richard Morris from the University of Bristol's Centre for Academic Primary Care, who led the research, said:
"Primary care data does not routinely include information about whether patients' homes are cold, so there is no simple way for GPs to identify patients most at risk. Primary health care professionals, especially GPs, may also have little opportunity to visit people's homes, which means that they are reliant on the patient disclosing a cold home problem or on other professionals sharing that information. NICE's recommendation therefore appears unrealistic.
"Given that excess winter mortality persists, it may be more helpful for policy makers and practitioners to focus on improving information sharing between health, social care and the third sector as a way of identifying vulnerable individuals who have poorly heated homes, and on improving the quality of housing, particularly in the private rented sector, where heating and insulation are often poor."
Dr Peter Tammes, who analysed the data, said: "Our study provides no evidence that GPs can easily identify those at risk during cold periods from data available in existing electronic records. Alternative methods are needed if GPs are to implement the NICE recommendation."

She may be the girl of everyone's dreams, but that doesn't mean you should just back off. Find out how you can date the girl who's out of your league!
She's the girl who makes the world go into slow motion whenever she enters a room. She's the one who makes angels sing and pluck their harps as she moves.
Her every step, her every move, seems perfectly cultivated by the gods of Olympus. She's the one who has every guy worshiping the ground she walks on. She's the girl of your dreams… She's out of your league.
Like all the rest of the men graced by her presence, you've also been struck by cupid's deadly bow. But as you look around you and see all these other guys who would sacrifice a limb to go out on a date with her, you're probably already losing heart.
Don't give in! You have a shot at dating her! Just because you look like the average Joe, doesn't mean dating her is completely out of the question. Just look at whom Christina Hendricks, the buxom beauty of Mad Men, is married to. Google it, we'll wait.
See what we mean? He isn't the Brad Pitt or George Clooney type. He seems like the regular Joe, but he's married to a gorgeous hottie! So now that we've increased your confidence a bit, you can proceed with the next steps for dating the girl who's out of your league.
9 ways to get the girl of your dreams
If you feel like your chances are closer to zero when it comes to dating her, check out these tried and tested tips!
#1 Have the right reasons. At first, you have to ask yourself why you want to date her in the first place. You can't just choose to want to be with someone based on how she looks, right?
That would be pretty shallow. And you probably shouldn't be trying to go out with her if you're just looking to use her for your social status or to make an ex jealous, because that would just be mean.
Instead, you have to have at least some knowledge about who she is before you decide to date her. Is there more to her than her looks? Does she have common interests with you? Is she the type of girl that you can see yourself dating even if she gained forty pounds and an extra set of chins? If you can see past her looks and still want to date her, then move on to the next steps.
#2 Be a gentleman. Being the bad boy who jerks women around won't get you a ticket into her heart. If anything, it will most likely get you banned for life. It's being a gentleman that will get you the keys to her affections.
And we're not talking about being a gentleman to her and her alone. You have to be a true gentleman to everyone, from the CEO of your company to the guy who sweeps leaves off the sidewalk.
Showing her that you're a nice guy who respects people will instantly give you points. It shows her that if she happens to want to hang out with you, she won't be hanging out with a douche bag who just wants to get in her pants.
#3 Have a sense of humor. Looks fade, but a sense of humor sticks around for the long haul. Women in general are suckers for guys who can make them laugh. Laughter isn't just the best medicine. It's the social panacea that can get you closer to tons of other people.
Being a guy with a sense of humor not only means you're a fun guy to hang out with, but it also shows people that you're quick enough with your wits to come up with something amusing to say.
Just a word of advice on the humor: don't make a joke at someone's expense. It's rude, and it paints you in bad light, especially if you're talking to the girl you want to date. If you think the only way you can come up with something funny is by making fun of someone else, skip the humor lest you start offending people and turning her off.
#4 Always be around. We're not saying you should lurk in the shadows, because that would be creepy. By being around, we mean you should be within her periphery whenever it matters. If the girl is a friend of your friend, convince your pal to invite you whenever she'll be around.
If she's an office mate, sync your coffee breaks often enough to make you a familiar face. Whenever you do come near her, make sure you're as pristinely presentable as possible!
When you're familiar enough, you can then say hi. She won't feel threatened or weirded out since she has already seen you around. Once you get past the initial greetings, then you can move on to small talk and, after a while, a real conversation.
#5 Be confident, but not arrogant. A girl who knows she's hot also knows that she can be intimidating. This helps her by keeping the intimidated guys at bay.
Don't be one of them! Keep in mind that she's only human. You won't get struck by lightning whenever you try to talk to her. Smile and try to relax when you're talking to her. She's more likely to pay attention to you, and maybe even like you, if she can see that you're not intimidated.
#6 Show her what you're good at. What you don't have in looks can be more than made up for in talent. You can show her what you're good at and hope that this can be enough to pique her interest. For instance, you can ask her to watch your band play at one of your gigs.
If you're more on the artsy side, you can post some of your artwork on social media in the hope that she'll notice. She might show admiration for your talent, if you just find a way to make her notice.
#7 Find out her weakness. Women have weaknesses for all sorts of things, from sweets to cute, cuddly creatures. Once you know more about her, you can find out what she's really into. You'd be lucky if you just happen to be interested in the same things since you'll automatically have something to talk about.
In the event that she's interested in something you know nothing about, do a little research and ask the right questions. For instance, you may find out that she's a huge fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
You don't have to listen to all their albums, but you can listen to some of their more popular songs. You can ask her which of their songs she likes, and you can mention that you actually prefer one of their other songs. This can open up an entire discussion where you're not just agreeing to everything she says.
#8 Focus more on her mind and less on her looks. Like we said, the women whom you think are out of your league are most likely already aware of how gorgeous they are.
They're more likely to think it's tedious whenever you keep telling her she's gorgeous. Instead, compliment her on what's going on in her mind. After a couple of conversations, she can start opening up more about her opinions and views. When she says something that sparks your interest, casually say that you like how well she's able to discuss it or that you think her ideas are pretty cool.
#9 Try something unconventional. Once you think it's time for you to confess how you feel, don't just go for flowers and candles and a bunch of stuff that other people have used time and again.
Go for something she probably hasn't experienced yet. It can be as dorky or as cheesy or as romantic as you like, as long as it's not typical.
One way you can do this is by sending her a note written in calligraphy. She probably hasn't received anything like it before. You can also write her a song and play it live or online for her. Using all your combined knowledge of what she's into, incorporate this into finding the perfect way to finally ask her to choose to be with you.

Dayspring department's Community Calendar Activities (CCAs) introduce families with young children who have developmental disabilities or delays to places in our community that offer great activities and opportunities for children to meet their goals through fun and play. All activities encourage motor, sensory, social-emotional, cognitive, and speech-language development.
Each location has activities that are age and developmentally appropriate. Activities are centered around play, because play is the primary vehicle for a child's mental and physical growth. Play has a vital role in cognitive, speech-language, physical, emotional and social development.
Much of young children's learning takes place when they direct their own play. Learning occurs as children touch, manipulate, experiment and talk about things, while interacting with people who facilitate without directing. During play, children are provided with sensory experiences and opportunities to move. Young children need to climb, run, jump and challenge themselves motorically. Children are natural explorers and instinctively touch, taste, hear, and observe the world around them.
In order to create these meaningful community activities, Imagine! needs the support of many local organizations. So today I'd like to highlight one community partner that does so much to connect young children with developmental delays and disabilities and their families with the community: WOW Children's Museum.
WOW has been a part of Dayspring's CCAs since almost the beginning, opening up its doors monthly for open play sessions for kids and families served by Dayspring. They also provide an amazing scholarship program, which allows qualified Dayspring families to purchase an annual pass for only $10 (a $75-$105 value)!
Thank you, WOW Museum, for supporting Imagine!, Dayspring, and, most of all, your community!
Thank You Thursday

Make a Difference by Volunteering With Big City Mountaineers
Although spring has just arrived, Big City Mountaineers (BCM) is already busy planning for the largest summer season in its seventeen-year history. BCM is seeking to fill nearly 200 volunteer spots in order to carry out its recreational mentoring program throughout the country during July and August of this year. These trips will take place in some of North America's most pristine backcountry settings, including the Cascades, Sierras, Rockies, White Mountains, and Boundary Waters. Trips are being planned with youth agency partners in various U.S. cities, and BCM is in the process of matching interested volunteers to youth programs within their respective geographies.
Big City Mountaineers' recreational mentoring program is a unique national model, unmatched in its impact and significance. BCM's program is conducted exclusively by adult volunteers with a five-to-five adult to teen ratio in pristine and inspiring backcountry settings. Although BCM's eight-day trips are certainly physically challenging, it is the teens' emotional journey that is the core of the experience.
To learn more about volunteering to help participate in one of these life-changing trips, please go to www.bigcitymountaineers.org or contact BCM's Volunteer Manager, Erin Sovick, at 303-271-9200, ext. 4 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Call of the Wild - book reflections by Robert Steven Mack
Classics can be and are often underestimated. If we do know them it is because they are classics and for no other reasons can we usually say there is a place for that book in our minds. It is even rarer still, that we choose to actually devote our precious free time to sit down and defer all else to read such a book. The more common choice however, is to get some mind nagging project completed, or in others case a video game or (myself included) relax our exhausted minds with a motion picture. And of course, when we do read, as with most things in life, we are always looking for the latest and greatest in stock while sacrificing a new line of enjoyment not to be missed. I know this, for my love for classic movies has confused and baffled many and even turned some against me. Recently, I practically forced "Lassie Come Home" (1943) on a friend of mine two years younger whose advancement had not dismissed a mental "stay away" sign in his head from such forms of entertainment. Though at first confused by its wisdom and intelligence, he loved every minute of it. It was this that led me (an avid reader) to a long unnoticed shelf in the hallway with a forgotten dusty unread unabridged version of Jack London's 1903 classic, "The Call of the Wild" that was perched sadly on the top shelf. Recalling the time my mother had bought it for me, I took it down and turned to the first page.
"The Call of the Wild" takes a time in the midst of the Klondike Gold Rush where dogs and humans alike face the cruel reality of a harsh environment ruled by raging blizzards, ruthless wolves, angry natives and greedy seekers of a substance that can only build or destroy a man's wealth and mental faculties. Meanwhile, a well-built but undeniably spoiled dog named Buck is chilling it out with a lazy sun-kissed California life as the pampered jewel of a rich man's household in the heart of civilization, respected by all who know him. That is, until a certain knuckle-brained servant sells Buck into the Klondike heap-pool. Thrust out of civilization and his lazy sun kissed life of spoiled tardiness, Buck is at first confused and angered to the point of colossal madness. Being brutally threatened and beaten when not delivering what is wanted of him, Buck learns the ever-so-vicious law of club and fang. He too is then forced to join the rat pack, and among his antagonizing fellow sled dogs he learns the inescapable law most important of all: eat or be eaten, a battle of all and which all lives depend on it but in the end only the strongest will survive. He also learns to obey man, a god whose club and whip can inflict pain of enormous degree and therefore must be obeyed. Buck will ultimately be transferred to several different masters, some brutal and of bad character to be obeyed when threatened, and some kind and true to be loved as companions. But in the end, stories of his strength and courage will spread before tragedy befalls the one he loves - and he hears a calling, a calling so ancient and divine: the call of the wild.
The book's dark and narrative tone kept a moving pace and plenty of musing content to contemplate over. As the book evolves over time, the message begins to blossom from the beginning of Buck's harsh adventures through to the end. It undergoes many changes and subtle alterations and yet at the end the message is clear, and indeed relevant for our own time. To my view, kids these days have become engulfed in the standardization of video games, and other such expensive devices used to entertain while their schedule is empty. However, there was a time when these devices did not exist, when children experimented and built for their own amusement, when they would wonder through the woods, through ruins and caves ever learning, ever exploring and having a time too good to even think of anything else except maybe the Sunday picture matinee. Now-a-days however, with the emergence of devices so addicting and fancifully looking, inventing and exploring is now replaced by the machines that do it for them. For example, in the by now highly developed motion picture industry, there was a time when technology was not yet developed to the point it is today. Instead, brilliant scripts and crafted actors were required to carry the story. When this was not enough to fulfill the requirement of the script, good old American ingenuity was applied using primitive sets and props decorated with actors clothed in lavish costumes and a willingness to do good. My heart warmed to see my friend at last exposed to the roots of filmmaking without the use of CGI effects or iMovie essentials and nonessentials. This is indeed what Buck experienced. Throughout his lone adventures in the harsh wild, he became further and further away from the grasp of mankind. He began hearing the wild calling to him as he begins his journey back to the wild, back where his darkest, deepest roots lay.
"The Call of the Wild" is a remarkable story of trial, triumph and fury. It is a deeply character-driven story of one dog's unexpected trip back to the wild where his roots truly lay. When I was finished, I laid the book down gently in peace and satisfaction, happy I had finally read it. Beautifully written, despite the violence and gore in detailed description, this book is not one to be missed.

It seems every day with twins is a mix of trials and triumphs. Certainly the triumphs...the joy, the smiles, and the laughter...far outweigh the trials. And another thing that's for certain is that it's ALWAYS interesting.
December 31, 2010
Fab 5 Friday
1) We spent an awesome Christmas as a family of four…just being together and enjoying all that that is.
2) The girls have cooked and baked and sautéed, mixed and mashed and stirred, sliced and diced and eaten all.week.long. They have been so entertained by their new kitchen, and so have we!
3) On Tuesday night, we took the girls to our favorite sushi restaurant. They've been there many times in the confines of their infant carriers, but this is the first time they'd eaten there. They loved it! They didn't exactly have sushi, but they devoured a chicken and shrimp teriyaki dish. Mommy and Daddy got our fill of the good stuff, and it was so amazing to enjoy dinner together as a family of four.
4) On Wednesday, my friend Jenny invited us to help celebrate her twinnies' birthday with a play date at an indoor play place. The girls had a blast, and it was so much fun to see them interact with other kiddos, and in a new environment. (And I showed restraint in only wet-wiping their hands in 10-minute intervals!)
5) On Thursday, in the midst of a jam-packed morning including haircuts and errands, we enjoyed a snack at Panera. The girls did great, sharing a cinnamon scone with Mommy. And for the second time in as many days, it was so cool to sit back and enjoy our little family in a restaurant setting. I just can't get enough of my baby girls enjoying a bite to eat with us, just like big girls!
Next week...the turn of 2011 and the girls' second birthday (gulp!)!

Oh Mandy....we have to be long lost relatives!!! I Love # 4! Have the girls got upset with you wiping their hands so often? Molly gets so mad at me....I try to tell her it is because of the germs. Maybe one day she will get it! Happy New Year!! Take care!

Sounds fantastic! We had sushi last night (take out) and let the kids try a bit of a California roll for the first time. Neither one took to it, but they wolfed down their chicken teriyaki.
Happy New Year!

It's so nice when you see the light at the end of the tunnel...when things actually become enjoyable rather than stressful or difficult.
I love what you said about wet-wiping their hands at intervals...it's so hard, right?
Glad you're able to get out a little more. It just gets better and better!

The benefits of physical therapy are undisputed. These conditions can be treated successfully with techniques like strengthening, stretching, massage, neuromuscular adaptations, joint mobilizations and soft tissue mobilizations. Courses on pharmacology, orthopedics, rehabilitation, medical screening etc are to name a few of the many taken by them to remain at par with the current therapy techniques and procedures.
You may opt for outpatient facilities, orthopedic clinics, nursing homes, with a sports team etc. Many therapists focus on rehabilitation following injury although there are Board-certified specializations available in various areas like sports-related physical therapy, pediatrics and orthopedics.
Back pain is an increasing issue in today's society and luckily patients can derive many benefits from physical therapy supervised exercises to strengthen the back and reduce the pain. Typically, patients can have therapy sessions very early in the morning before going to work, or late in the evening following work.
Option A: Applicants require to present proof of 2,000 hours of direct patient care in the particular area in the last ten years. Physical therapists are trained to rehabilitate people through a variety of mediums. The physical therapist needs to take an accurate and detailed patient history to be able to properly evaluate the problem.
Physical therapy benefits for this common musculoskeletal disorder depends to a great extent on the treatment methods the therapists utilize. Many people including myself have successfully used chondriotin to treat knee as well as hip problems that are associated with osteoarthritis.

Mothers are always looking for quick meals to feed their kids, especially during the week. Between school, after-school activities and homework, not to mention mom's busy schedule, time is of the essence for a midweek meal. Frozen breaded chicken -- such as patties, strips or nuggets -- can make for a quick meal paired with vegetables and rice. Baking breaded chicken takes only a couple of steps and can be hot and ready in about 15 minutes.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 450 degrees Fahrenheit for chicken strips or larger pieces. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper
Step 2
Portion the chicken needed for the meal. An average serving is one chicken patty, four chicken strips or five chicken nuggets per person. Use less chicken for younger children.
Step 3
Place the breaded chicken onto the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Use an instant read thermometer and remove once the chicken pieces reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 4
Remove the chicken strips from the oven and allow them to rest for about five minutes before serving. Serve the chicken patties on sandwiches and the strips and nuggets with sauces, such as honey-mustard or ranch dressing.

Proudly supported by
Previous funding rounds
Community Group Futures
The Community Group Futures program is specifically for not-for-profit organisations working in and for the benefit of communities affected by the 2009 Victorian bushfires.
These organisations continue to experience particular operational and service delivery challenges and are working in very different environments from those prior to the bushfires. The Community Group Futures program has been developed by FRRR to support these community groups.
Funding has been provided by the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund.
The Community Group Futures program provides resources for organisations to consider their viability, sustainability and future roles in their communities, and to strengthen organisational capabilities to achieve their aspirations.
It is an opportunity for organisations to think beyond day-to-day operations and short-term needs and look ahead to what is required to be sustainable and viable to meet the needs of the community in the years to come.
Program Objectives / Outcomes
- Communities enjoy access to a range of high quality, relevant and sustainable local service options.
- Not-for-profit organisations are underpinned by efficient and effective structures, systems and processes.
- Not-for-profit organisations are led and managed by skilled and capable people, whether they be volunteer or paid.
- Innovative and collaborative approaches exist to address community needs and priorities and resourcing challenges for organisations.
There are three streams to the program. Organisations are encouraged to consider which stream most closely fits their needs at this point in time, with a view to supporting future viability and sustainability. The three streams and total funds available are:
- Organisational Capability
- Viability & Sustainability
- Cost Efficiencies for Community Infrastructure
Applications can be made to only one of these streams of funding.
What will be funded?
The Community Group Futures program offers grants of up to $20,000.
Program funds are expected to be fully expended in 2020, bringing the program to a close. This funding round (opening in August 2020), will be contingent on available funds.
The diagram below shows the three program streams and the types of activities and projects that funds can be used for. These are indicative only and applicants are encouraged to speak with the FRRR Program Coordinator to discuss needs and ideas.
When assessing which stream best fits your needs, the following questions may help clarify your organisation's needs:
- What will your organisation look like in five years' time?
- What will your community need from your organisation?
- Will your organisation still be relevant?
- Does your organisation have what is needed to tackle challenges and grab opportunities?
- How do you measure whether you are being successful and having an impact where you want to?
|Organisational Capacity
|Viability and Sustainability
|Cost Efficiencies for Community Infrastructure
Requests up to $15,000 for training and $20,000 for positions will be considered
Skilled support
Requests up to $20,000 to engage external expertise will be considered
Requests up to $10,000 will be considered
Not-for-profit community organisations permanently operating in and for the benefit of communities affected by the 2009 Victorian bushfires are eligible to apply. These may include but are not limited to:
- Neighbourhood Houses and Learning Centres
- Community Arts organisations
- Community Leadership Programs
- Community groups such as Landcare groups, Men's Sheds
- Progress Associations
- Committees of Management of Hall and Recreation Reserve and other community owned or operated facilities
- Youth Groups.
Please note no special tax status is required.
The Community Group Futures program is now closed.
