Your choice for the WordPress hosting solution will have a major effect. Although there are many hosting providers available, only some of them will furnish you with the best of services. Selecting the right host includes considering the performance, price, back-up, technical support and likewise. Here are a few steps to consider while picking a hosting service for your WordPress website.
Find A Tried-and-True Hosting Service
To get in touch with a reliable WordPress hosting company, reach out to the firms or individuals who are using the same service. It is important to inspect for the latest innovations, use of the recent PHP 5.6.27, backend configurations and database capacity.
These days, hosting services bid for unlimited space and bandwidth. It might sound a wonderful thing. Yet, it is better if your host provides a particular limit of space and bandwidth which would be utilized. To check this, simply observe how quick your site loads on servers.
When it comes to the prices these services come with, the more expensive isn't always a better deal. So, do not just go for an expensive service and expect a worthy service. Go through some of the services that are really good and go for the price somewhere in the middle.
Choose A Hosting Category
When you sign-up and buy a hosting service, you have to choose from the following types of hosting solutions:
- Shared hosting
- Virtual Private Server or VPS
- Dedicated hosting
Let us see what these terms mean.
Shared Hosting
The least expensive option for WordPress web hosting, shared hosting is most common among start-up and individuals.
In this type of hosting, you share memory allocation, CPU usage etc. with other clients sharing the same server.
Virtual Private Server Hosting
This type of WordPress web hosting is ideal for websites, especially E-Commerce stores which are growing rapidly.
If you go for VPS hosting, you will be allocated with a personal segment on a server. This includes personalized memory slots and CPU power.
Dedicated Web Hosting
The most powerful and expensive kind of hosting solution, dedicated hosting is ideal for well- established businesses and brands.
The most powerful and expensive kind of hosting solution, dedicated hosting is ideal for well- established businesses and brands.
The hosting plays a major role in helping such firms in reaching out their customers globally. The hosting service facilitates running CPU-intensive web applications and managing the complex database.
Evaluate Your Needs And Sign-up For Hosting
Make a list of all the elements you wish to add in your WordPress website before you buy any hosting package. Listing down only the necessary aspects will save you a lot of money. Once you have indexed your requirements, you can carry out your search to locate the best hosting providers.
When you come across some of the relevant providers, you need to compare the service package they offer. Measure these hosting services in terms of price, customer service, speed and band allocation as well as their client's reviews. Comparing the hosts before getting along with them will help you decide on the most suitable web hosting provider for your WordPress website.
Get A Premium WordPress theme
Check out some premium WordPress themes to make your website a one-of-a-kind. It might cost a little more, but once you realize that you are able to get more traffic, it would be worth the investment.
So, look for an amazing theme that is best suitable to represent your website. There are thousands of WordPress themes available on the internet.
Pro Tip:
If possible, consider getting a custom theme for your WordPress website. Such themes are developed by professional WordPress developers and are tailor-made to meet your business needs. Custom themes are also easy to manage and the development comes with technical support and even lifetime updates in most cases.
Once you start looking, you will find a lot of hosting companies that offer almost similar packages, but some feature distinct services. You might come across some problems like knowing some new terminologies and choosing the best for your website. Still, hiring the appropriate WordPress hosting service can be fruitful if you know that you will be backed up whenever you need.

Often workplace issues can be solved with a simple one-on-one conversation with the employee, whether they are simple performance issues or problems with scheduling. On occasion, you may be presented with a problem severe enough where a meeting needs to happen, including HR and other affected parties. These meetings are generally designed to be informational and, in most cases, do not reveal confidential information about employees.
Talk of layoffs or mergers that often mean mass firings are excellent reasons to get people together to talk through their concerns. Situations like this cause the rumor mill to work overtime, with misinformation and negativity often at the core. This is a golden opportunity for you and your HR team to speak as openly as you're allowed about the situation, hopefully ridding your workplace of these rumors and arming your people with the facts.
Sexual harassment or intimidation is cause for a meeting. These are often close-knit sessions, with only management, an HR rep and the person lodging the claim taking part. In some cases, a member of your company's legal team might take part. These meetings are designed to get one side of the story, with the target of the complaint participate in a separate meeting. These meetings are serious business, with a looming risk of lawsuits or even workplace violence hanging overhead.
Whenever you hire a new manager or report to new people, meetings are called to make you and others aware of these changes. These informational sessions usually detail new organizational charts, with each person finding out who is over and under them. These meetings also detail departmental mergers as silos break down. Meetings like these are critical in keeping you and your people in-the-know about who their new team members and bosses are.
Project Issues
Teams experiencing issues with a particular project or client often put their heads together to find new solutions. When projects bog down, teams shuffle to find new ways of generating enough creativity to break through. If you are a part of an ad agency or in sales, you'll often get together to formulate new pitch ideas in brainstorming sessions. These meetings also occur at the very beginning of projects, where teams are assembled and strategies formed.

The Samsung Galaxy line has become the go-to device on the Android platform for a lot of people, and its popularity doesn't seem to be waning any time soon. Coupling solid and powerful specs with Samsung support and a bunch of exclusive software features courtesy of TouchWiz, it's no surprise that it gets a special place on Android and is seen by many as the main competition compared to the entries from Apple or Microsoft. The Samsung Galaxy S5 was just recently released, and with it comes the expected bump in power and a brand new design, but what's new with the latest entry in the Galaxy series? Is it worth upgrading? Let's take a look at what's new!
1. New Design
TouchWiz is what Samsung calls the layer of services and design it adds on top of stock Android. This is what gives Samsung devices that uniform look and theme, and allows all sorts of services on top. TouchWiz has always been functional and usable, but the truth is that it was becoming stale and in serious need of a new, fresh layer of paint, as Android also has moved on in terms of design. Well, the latest iteration of TouchWiz comes with a brand new design and a renewed look, giving it a more modern theme that doesn't look as out of place in KitKat. However, it's not all good. With this latest change in looks, also comes even more inconsistency. This time, it doesn't clash as much with the regular Android UI, it's just that the Samsung software doesn't seem to want to settle on a single look, and so what you end up with is a mixed bag of round and square icons, blue and white accents and other inconsistency across the whole OS. Still, it's better than what it used to be, and doesn't clash with stock Android as much as it used to, so I feel like this is a step in the right direction. If you like the extra features TouchWiz offers and are already used to it, this is a small price to pay.
2. S-Health/Heart Rate Sensor
Samsung has decided to included a new built-in feature in the Galaxy S5, namely the heart rate sensor that allows the device to measure your perceived heart rate. The way it does this is curious, and very unlike other implementations that usually use a dedicated sensor or band to get an accurate result. Instead, Samsung uses no dedicated hardware for this, and instead uses something called pulse oximetry, which is not a new concept and has been around for a while. Basically, when you use it, it shines a light through your finger and the sensor captures images of your blood vessels and relative blood concentration and detects your current pulse. It's not a novel concept, and there are apps on the Play Store already that work just as well using the same concept, but this new addition makes sense given how it's incorporated in S Health, and seems to be relatively precise. Overall, it's something nice to have.
3. Fingerprint Sensor
Of course, one of the new features is the fingerprint scanner, which comes out in response to Apple's Touch ID fingerprint recognition. However, it works a bit differently. The scanner is embedded in the home button, and unlike the newest iPhone 5S, it requires a swipe to detect the fingerprint, and simply resting your finger is not enough. However, it works just as well (some report a few more misses than usual, though), and is just as useful. By default, it allows you to unlock your phone, but some apps already are offering support for it, for example, PayPal can authorize and authenticate using the scanner already. It will be cool to see what other companies do with this sort of tech in the future, and what sort of apps will end up offering support for it. Right now, it's a useful thing that is cool to have, but doesn't have killer functionality yet.
4. Kids Mode
This brand new addition to the Galaxy line allows you to lock and secure your phone for your kids using certain restrictions and features. Basically, once you enable it, it allows you to lock out certain apps, only allow access to certain features, allows you to set a daily playtime limit and grants access to a set of built-in specific kid-friendly apps. It comes with a singing/recording game, a drawing app and a fun camera app that allows you to use filters, masks, and other fun stuff with your friends. This is a great addition and is actually quite good: the whole Kids app is colorful, friendly, easy to use, and filled with all the right features. The built-in apps are also really great considering this could have been little more than an afterthought, and actually seem quite fun and usable by anyone.
5. Ultra Low Power Saver Mode
Samsung has already included a Low Power mode before, as did many other manufacturers, where once enabled it would help conserve battery life by lowering screen brightness, or disabling background data and stuff like that, but this brand new mode does things very differently. Once enabled, it pulls back on almost everything at a hardware level: the display becomes monochrome (something that wouldn't help on a regular device, but since the S5 comes with an AMOLED screen, this disables individual pixels), brightness is reduced and refresh rate is halved, only 2 CPU cores are enabled, and the ones left enabled are limited to a lower frequency. The phone also starts aggressively killing all non-essential processes and maintains basic functionality and nothing else by default. This results in amazing battery life, to the point where it could probably last over 24 hours consuming less than 10% of the remaining battery. No one else really has offered such a radical power-saving feature at this point (HTC has one in the works), and it really plays to the phone's hardware, so this is a nice addition that actually makes a significant difference in day to day usage when needed.

Vaginal burning and itching can cause a great deal of discomfort, especially during sexual intercourse. Burning in the vaginal area could be a sign of infection; however it can also occur from hormonal changes that cause thinning of the tissue. If your vaginal burning comes with an abnormal discharge, bleeding, or notice sores in your genital area, you may need medical evaluation.
Causes of Vaginal Burning
Determining the specific cause of vaginal burning is important because successful treatment depends on eliminating the cause of the burning entirely. Causes of vaginal burning include:
- Allergies
- Vaginal Dryness
- Hormonal Changes
- Hygiene Products
- Bacterial Infections
- Yeast Infections
- Viral Vaginitis
- STDs
The discomfort and possibility that a sexually transmitted disease could be causing symptoms during intercourse underscores the importance of diagnosis and treatment.
Treatment and Prevention
Vaginal burning and irritation will often get better on its own; however, if the burning sensation continues, comes back after treatment, or is severe, make an appointment with your doctor or gynecologist who can do a pelvic exam. The doctor will probably also take a sample of your vaginal discharge to find the source of the problem.
How vaginal discomfort is treated depends on what condition is causing the problem:
- Yeast infections are treated with antifungal medications. They are inserted into the vagina in the form of creams, ointments, or suppositories, or they are taken orally. You can buy these medications over the counter in different doses — one-day, three-day, seven-day.
- Menopause-related itching may be treated with estrogen cream or tablets.
- Vaginosis and STDs are treated with antibiotics.
- Other types of itching and irritation respond to steroid creams or lotions, which reduce inflammation. A prescription-strength steroid cream can relieve the irritation of lichen sclerosis.
Good hygiene is important when it comes to preventing vaginitis, vaginosis and irritation that can cause burning sensation and vaginal pain during intercourse. Women can reduce the chances of infection by practicing safe sex and by limiting sexual partners.
Postmenopausal women can prevent vaginal atrophy that causes burning and pain during sex by remaining sexually active. Sexual activity, with or without a partner, improves blood flow to the vagina and keeps the tissues healthy. Lubricating products, estrogen creams, rings and tablets inserted into the vagina are effective treatments for burning and pain during intercourse associated with estrogen decline.
A Few Tips for Preventing and Treating Vaginal Irritation
- Avoid scented pads or toilet paper, bubble bath, creams, douches and feminine sprays.
- Avoid sexual intercourse until your symptoms improve.
- Use water and a plain, unscented soap to regularly clean your genital area. But don't wash more than once a day. Doing so can increase vaginal dryness.
- Always wipe from front to back after having a bowel movement.
- Wear cotton panties (no synthetic fabrics), and change your underwear every day.
- Use condoms during intercourse to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
- If you are experiencing vaginal dryness, use a vaginal moisturizer. Apply a water-based lubricant (K-Y Jelly, Astroglide) before having sex.
- Don't scratch — you can further irritate the area.
The discomfort of vaginal burning with intercourse can lead to psychological distress and lack of intimacy that is important between partners. Finding the cause of symptoms of vaginal burning is important for successful treatment, prevention of complications and psychological distress.

One little word can change our entire concept of a situation; it can, and has, changed our Christian doctrine and dogma.
What is it about this little word ALL that Christians do not understand ….is it that they speed read and miss it…or is it that this little word All, is so all encompassing, that they cannot comprehend the enormity of it …
This word has been misapplied for centuries; and it is high time that we took cognizance of it… MT 24:30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory
Now let us put this passage in context, by starting with the previous verse i.e. Matt 24:29:-
Matt 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
24:30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other..
When Jesus comes with the great sound of a trumpet His elect who are alive on earth and the resurrected, who have been asleep (Denoted by the use of four winds i.e. here on earth) EZEK 37:9 Also He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live." ' "
I am reminded of what Paul tells us 1 Thes 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.4:17 Then we who are alive and remain (G4035 survive) shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Now John the Revelator gives us more information on this same event RV 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Now before we continue let us take a closer look at this passage RV 1:7
Rev 1:7 Behold,G2400 he comethG2064 withG3326 clouds;G3507 andG2532 everyG3956 eyeG3788 shall seeG3700 him,G846 andG2532 they also whichG3748 piercedG1574 him:G846 andG2532 allG3956 kindredsG5443 of theG3588 earthG1093 shall wailG2875 because ofG1909 him.G846 Even so,G3483 Amen.G281
We see that the Greek word G 3956 is translated in this verse as both ALL and EVERY…so if all means every; and every means all ( and for clarity we are further told that the all and every includes those who pierced , or crucified Jesus… why do we believe that there will be two resurrections? Why do we believe that there will be a so called 'Rapture' to heaven if every and all eyes, of all who have ever lived, will see Him coming on the clouds?
Holy scripture tells us that we may not add to or take away from these verses or we will be cursed Rev 22:18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Theologians today tell you that we cannot lose our salvation… well that is not what the above passage indicates to me … if you add to or take away from the words of this prophecy God will take away your part in his book of life and your entry to the holy city; New Jerusalem…
In conclusion; if we are to believe that the Holy Scriptures are the inerrant Word of God, then when we read these passages we have to assume that all means everyone, even those who have died i.e. even those who had crucified our Lord…following this reasoning that when the Lord comes we will meet Him coming in the air, there is nowhere written that the Lord will make a 'U' turn and take His so called Bride back to Heaven! But everyone who is not a believer will be resurrected as well….We have to remember that the Book of Revelation is a series of 'windows' or visions and they do not of necessity run in chronological order…most false doctrine has emanated from the misinterpretation of John's Revelation.
There is only one coming of Jesus the Christ to earth as Lord of lords and King of kings (Rev 1:7; 1 Thes 4:16)
There is only one resurrection of the saved and unsaved (1 Thes 4:16; Rev20:6)
There is only one Judgment day… (Rev 20:11; Matt 25:31)
LK 21:28 "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."

For heavy metal band Mastodon, 2011's release of its fifth studio album, The Hunter, was big. It helped propel the band further up the ranks of mainstream metal, earning highly positive acclaim from many major music critics. While Mastodon has yet to divulge much information about the release of its next album, the band played a handful of fan-favorites at the Cleveland House of Blues on its tour with an aging Machine Head. The show made for a night filled with fuzz, be it from the grizzled scalps and chins of most present or the ever-distorted tones that blared from the stage speakers.
After the twenty-minute lull for the stage crew to clear away Machine Head's stuff — the heavy looking "MH" flag staffs and giant cube structures that flanked their stage didn't really add much in terms of presence — Mastodon took the stage to thunderous applause from the dark, sweaty pit. Very unlike the band that had preceded them, Mastodon said nothing as it interacted with its audience before opening its show with "The Hunter." But the interesting — and metal — thing about the band was how none of the members said a SINGLE WORD before after the last note of their last song, "The Sparrow." Adding to the band's metal cred was how lion-like lead singer Troy Sanders looked with his heavy mane and two-pronged beard. Even so, the band's show was all about the music, and it was far from disappointing; their hour and a half of powerful heavy metal had many a head thrashing and "devil horns" raised high.
As a band that's been around since 1991, Machine Head has a lot to be thankful for as its brand of thrash metal has stayed moderately popular to this point. Head vocalist Robb Flynn made it known as he frivolously thanked his supporters — which, surprisingly, seemed to turn out in droves — before heartfelt songs like "Darkness Within." While members of Machine Head showed that they still have the chops to rock faces with complicated sounding solos, the stark contrast in attitudes between Machine Head and Mastodon made the former seem much less tough, and it kind of detracted from their set as a whole. Even before seeing Mastodon's nonchalant stage presence, it seemed as though the members of Machine Head were more focused on looking cool and relevant than they were involved with the music that they played.

2013–2015 | Copenhagen, Denmark
Fact Sheet:
Project: Conservation, transformation, new build
Listed: No
Built: 2013- 2015
Client: Jeudan A/S
The task includes restoration of a recently de-listed front house and transformation of a side wing and a new build back wing. The ground floor will be adapted for commercial use and the remaining upper floors will be converted into six flats. The flats will be developed within the existing context and structure of the house and they will hereby retain an individual character within an overall contemporary design.
Nikolaj Plads as seen from the tower of the nearby Nikolaj Church, 2013 and 1934 (Historical photo: Museum of Copenhagen)
The cadastre originally housed the rectory. This was however heavily reduced in size during the great fire of 1795. In 1796 the new built property was entrusted to the Nikolaj parish poorhouse which was a workhouse for paupers. The workhouse was closed down in 1892, and the building was refurbished as a retirement home, which was closed down in 1901 due to the opening of a more centralised institution serving the whole city. Afterwards Nikolaj Plads 25 was privatised and refurbished for commercial use and accommodation.
The property is a so called "fire house" (ildebrandshus) within a row of longhouses along the southern edge of the square, Nikolaj Plads, which runs into the street of Vingårdsstræde towards the east. The properties all date back to the early 1800s – from the period of reconstruction following the great fire of Copenhagen in 1795. The majority of the properties are listed, resulting in the creation of a buffer retaining the structure of the medieval church square around Nikolaj Church.
The property was heavily rebuilt internally with only a few original elements such as the windows in the front house and the rear staircase of the side wing.
The facades of the recently de-listed building have been restored and put back to their original expression
The roof on the front house has been relaid with traditional red roof tiles and the original dormer windows have been restored.
Sidebygningen er blevet transformeret med nye og større vinduesåbninger og bundet sammen med et nyt baghus gennem et nutidigt materialevalg.
The existing side house has been transformed to a more modern expression: Its white facades have been restored and opened up, and the roof surface has been relaid in a terracotta coloured fibreglass-reinforced composite. The modern looking white facades the red roof material have been repeated on the new build back-wing, giving the two buildings a consistent look.

Check uniform
The school was given 'good'. Data not everything?
Speaking 'ad hoc' to parents. Wouldn't be as accessible in secondary?
Adult behaviour was watched. Does this define British values as listening, communication and respect?
Check uniform standards again
Don't celebrate inappropriately
Don't tell children their answers are 'brilliant' when they're not!
Make sure classrooms are 'attractive' and 'clutter free'
And organised
Ensure broad and balanced curriculum

Internet Access Grew by 8.3% in Past Year: The Inclusive Internet Index
For immediate release
Internet access grew by 8.3% in past year: The Inclusive Internet Index
- Now in its second year, The Inclusive Internet Index tracks the extent to which the internet is available, affordable, relevant and supportive of positive outcomes around the world
- In the 70 countries included in the 2017 and 2018 Indices, the average percentage of households connected to the internet grew to 48.6% from 44.9%, an 8.3% improvement
- Mobile internet coverage and affordability improved considerably – the average price of a 500MB prepaid mobile broadband data plan fell by 10.1%
- New 'Value of the Internet' survey explores how the internet adds value to its users' lives around the world
26th February 2018
The new edition of the Inclusive Internet Index, published today, reveals a healthy increase in internet access since last year, amid expanding 4G coverage and falling mobile costs.
Compiled by The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Facebook, The Index provides an international benchmark of internet inclusion across four categories: availability, affordability, relevance and readiness. Its aim is to measure the extent to which internet use promotes positive social and economic outcomes.
Among the 70 countries included in both the 2017 and 2018 Indices, the average percentage of households connected to the internet grew by 44.9% to 48.6%, an 8.3% increase. Progress on this front was fastest among low-income countries included in the Index, where the average percentage of connected households increased from 8.0% to 13.2%, a 65.1% improvement.
The index also identified rapid expansion in the availability of mobile internet services. Coverage of 4G mobile services grew significantly, especially in countries including Guatemala, where it grew 3,935.0%, and Indonesia (658.8%). Meanwhile, the average price of a 500MB prepaid mobile broadband data plan as a percentage of monthly income fell from nearly 3.3% last year to 2.9% in 2018, an improvement of 10.1%.
Enhancements to the measurement of the gender gap in internet access prevent year-on-year comparisons, but it is inarguably still too high: among the countries included in the Index, the proportion of men that access the Internet is, on average, 33.5% higher than the proportion of women. Among low-income countries, the gender gap is 80.2% in favour of men. However, a number of low-income countries, including Nepal, Malawi, and Mozambique, stand out for policies designed to promote internet inclusion among women and girls, specifically digital skills training and STEM education.
The 2018 Index is accompanied by a new Value of the Internet survey, which canvassed 4,267 internet users across 85 countries to assess the impact it has on their lives. The survey reveals that the internet is a source of empowerment, especially to citizens in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Just under six in ten respondents in the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia agree that the "use of the internet has helped me become more independent".
However, the survey also reveals that privacy and security concerns are limiting internet use, especially in Europe. In all, 85% of respondents say privacy concerns have limited their use of the internet to some degree.
For more information and to explore the index, visit http://theinclusiveinternet.eiu.com
Leo Abruzzese, Global Director of Public Policy at The Economist Intelligence Unit, will be presenting the findings of the study at the 2018 World Mobile Congress in Barcelona at 4.30pm CET, 26th February 2018.
About the Index
The Inclusive Internet Index ranks 86 countries according to the extent to which the Internet is not just accessible but also inclusive across society and supportive of positive social and economic outcomes. Launched in 2017 and now in its second year, the Index was created by The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Facebook. It assesses countries on the basis of four categories: the availability of internet services, the affordability of such services, the relevance of available internet content to people's lives, and the extent to which policy promotes inclusion. An executive summary highlighting key findings from this year's Index, a workbook containing the full Index data, and a summary of the Value of the Internet survey can all be downloaded from http://theinclusiveinternet.eiu.com

Barcelona "Blockchain Week" Gathering Innovators for 5-8 Oct with IoT, Retail, Trading, Digi Currency Tracks
Barcelona will, from October 5th to 8th, host Blockchain Week, a gathering of leading experts in blockchain technology to discuss the leading use cases for the disruptive technology.
The conference has four tracks that have significant applicability for blockchain technology, namely Internet of Things, Ecommmerce & Retail, Trading, and Digital Currency Summit.
The organizer of Blockchain Week, Alex Puig, launched the Digital Currency Summit in Andorra last year and held another summit in Madrid earlier this year.
Puig is also the program manager of startup accelerator, Block Chain Space, which held a series of blockchain workshops in European cities this summer.
The Barcelona-based entrepreneur seems even more ambitious with Blockchain Week, with the aim of triggering conversation between opinion leaders from different industries, leading experts, technologists, entrepreneurs and investors in the blockchain space. He adds:
Blockchain Week is not only a place to learn about Blockchain Technology applications in Finance, IoT, Retail and Trading, it is also an event where mainstream companies can engage collaboration discussion with Bitcoin startups. An event to learn, network and do business.
Here are the name of a few of the companies represented at Blockchain Week : BBVA, Worldline, RBS, RaboBank, Banco de Sabadell, Ingenico, Accenture, Everis, IBM, Santander, Telefónica, Google.
Among the speakers are Puig's partners in Block Chain Space, Coinsilium CEO Eddy Travia, who will discuss investments in Blockchain startups, and CTO Hakim Mamoni, who will introduce how Block Chain Space will provide education and startup acceleration in Barcelona later in the year.
The objective of these blockchain tech conferences, workshops and events organized by Puig and his partners is to explain the new technology and discuss the potential impact of cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, in different industries. Research reports from major consulting practices, banks and large technology companies, many of them attending Blockchain Week, have found that blockchain technology will play a pivotal role in the transformation of industries such as ecommerce and retail, IoT, trading and finance.
Blockchain Week culminates with the Digital Currency Summit, a forum for training and discussion where attendees can learn more about or discover digital currencies.

These days, there are plenty of ways to deal with your physical insecurities. Therapy. Drugs. Surgery. But who can afford to pay for all these miraculous cures? Not you, 20/30-something woman who can't get a raise because her boobs are too small, her butt is too flat, or, or, or. For you, there is only on solution: FREE IMPLANTS!
A website, started by (shocking gasp) two high school buddies, offers men the chance to buy strange women boobs for the low price of just $1.20 per donation. It's all so easy: you need boobs, you create a profile, post some illicit photos (like the one seen here), make some horrific promises to perverts on the internet who donate money towards your surgery, and poof - BOOBS! According to its founders, myfreeimplants.com "gives women the chance to work their way towards achieving their goals, and with enough participation, soon enjoy the benefits of a new body!"
But nothing in life is free. In this case though, you only pay in self-respect. Which, will soon be of no use to you anyway, because who needs dignity when you have double Ds?

A vacation from distractions
I recently decided to spend the holidays away from my life. I packed my things and drove three and a half hours to Esalen to join Noah Levine and Vinny Ferraro on one of their seven-day mindfulness retreats. We all ate and slept there without leaving the property and embarked on a seven-day commitment to meditation and mindfulness. Esalen's environment is a perfect one for looking at ourselves.
What do I mean by looking at yourself? I mean removing all your daily distractions: Netflix, Facebook, traffic, work, friends, enemies, food and more. We don't even realize it, but we most often are paying attention to these things so we don't have to look at ourselves.
Looking at ourselves is the most valuable thing we can do in this life, yet we spend 99 percent of our time staying busy instead.
Why do we do this? Because it's scary to look at ourselves!
Whether it's subtle or intense, all the anxiety, fear and heartache that we've acquired through our DNA or life experience is there under our daily routines. Our tendency is to ignore our pain, including deep emotional pain or even a headache. However, what the universe intended is quite the contrary. Pain wants to be seen, felt and heard.
Giving mindful attention to pain
When I was a child, I'd come to my father complaining of a headache. He'd ask me, "Where is it? What colour is it? How big is it?"
I'd struggle at first, but begin to answer his questions. "It's here, it's red and it's as big as a baseball," I'd say. He'd ask those three questions over and over, and before I knew it, I could no longer tell him the answers.
What I learned from him is that if I gave attention to the pain, it would gradually dissipate. We can apply this same technique to our deeper pains of heartache, fear or anxiety via mindfulness. No, you probably won't be able to remove all of it within a few minutes like you would a headache, but over your lifetime, you'll be able to soften its effect on you.
Through mindfulness, you'll allow yourself space and time to be with your pain and your noisy brain that randomly fires thoughts at you.
By being with your pain, you'll develop a deeper relationship with it. You'll become more familiar with your feelings and welcome them with a friendly and loving demeanour. The genuine willingness to be with our pain with a loving, caring heart is an example of compassion.
Opening up my heart
Our seven days at Esalen, in an intimate group, essentially involved exercising this ability to be with our pain and our happiness. Both arise, back and forth, like the ebb and flow of the ocean.
I was surprised to see how quickly I could open my normally "shelled" heart during this week. We're all guilty of closing our heart's doors as a survival mechanism to get us through our days and even our lives. I realized, though, that if I just welcomed my sorrows, anxieties and fears with a warm, accepting heart, then I could build an intimate relationship with them.
It's quite ironic. When we have a problem that needs to be solved or a question that needs to be answered in our lives, we tend to believe that thinking about it and analyzing the situation is how we'll find answers. Yet, through my experiences with mindfulness, I've come to see that the opposite is true.
I've found that the most grand answers and pieces of wisdom come to me when I stop thinking. It's as if the universe rewards me for being present and quieting my ego by speaking to me.
I would've loved to have had a notepad throughout all my years of Yoga classes. I can regularly access acquired wisdom and resolve obstacles in my life when I'm lying peacefully in savasana (the final lying-down pose at the end of my Hatha Yoga practice).
Why mindfulness isn't always easy
You might be wondering why our ego controls our lives with constant loops of the same thoughts and anxieties, over and over in our heads, day in and day out. If this isn't what Mother Nature intended, why aren't we more naturally able to live mindfully by default?
The answer to this is quite simple. Our brains have vastly evolved since we developed our primitive fight-or-flight mechanism. Our ego isn't hurting us intentionally; it simply believes that it's doing its job to protect us. The problem is, since our brain is so much more advanced, our ego is unconsciously working overtime.
We actually are born into this world as naturally mindful beings. Kids naturally live in the moment, spending little time regretting their past. Have you ever watched a little kid's response to a negative situation? They cry it out, but 10 minutes later, they don't even think of it again.
Your next holiday?
The next time you have a week's holiday, I suggest you explore the option of spending seven days away from your life at a mindfulness retreat. I look forward to hearing about the wisdom you've gained from your experience!
If you've been on a spiritual retreat recently, or even in the distant past, and would like to share anything you've learned, please leave your insights in the Comments section below.

Patients waiting for days on emergency trolleys to get into hospital: study
Some Australian hospitals are so full that patients are waiting longer than two days on trolleys to be admitted for further treatment such as surgery, a study conducted last month has revealed.
An audit of 114 public hospital emergency departments at 10am on Monday August 31 found that seven out of 10 patients had been waiting longer than eight hours to be transferred into the main hospital, even though emergency staff had completed their job of stabilising the patients and determining what they needed next.
The queues were so bad that 78 patients in 23 hospitals had been waiting longer than 24 hours to get into a hospital ward for further care. Six patients had been waiting for more than two days.
Emergency doctors said the phenomenon, known as "access block" was causing dangerous chaos for doctors, nurses and patients, as well as paramedics who get "ramped" waiting to handover new patients to emergency department staff.
Drew Richardson, an associate professor of medicine at Australian National University who conducted the survey, said the findings reflected a "hospital system that is critically overburdened and that is putting patients into the firing line".
He said over half of the hospitals had at least one patient who had been waiting for a bed for more than 12 hours – the point at which British authorities require a report to be made to the health minister.
"A statistic like that should be sending an alarm bell to healthcare authorities across the country. It's completely unacceptable."
President of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine Dr Anthony Cross said it was well established that "access block" contributed to worse outcomes for patients and higher death rates because people waited longer for treatments they need in a busier environment.
He said patients could also "fall through the cracks" when emergency department staff felt as though they had been dealt with and doctors on the wards had not yet fully taken over their care because the patients were not physically in their view.
Research conducted at Canberra Hospital this year found that older patients who waited more than four hours to be transferred to a bed in the hospital were 51 per cent more likely to die than patients who waited less than four hours.
An emergency physician in Melbourne, Dr Simon Judkins, said access block was extremely stressful for staff who have to juggle large numbers of patients, including some being treated in chairs and corridors.
"It leads to staff doing things quicker and with less time to think," he said. "It's a significant contributor to stress and burn out in emergency medicine."
Dr Cross said hospitals and governments needed to do more to improve the flow of patients through emergency departments. He called for the federal government to reconsider the National Emergency Access Target (NEAT) with reward payments that was recently dumped, along with targets for quality care.
Under NEAT, emergency departments were asked to treat 90 per cent of patients within four hours. This meant the patients had to be either discharged, admitted to a ward or transferred to another hospital for treatment within that time.
A spokesman for federal health minister Sussan Ley said hospital performance continued to be monitored "and she understood a number of states and territories were looking at establishing or maintaining local targets".

For about 20 years the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 has been entertaining science fiction fans with funny commentaries of bad movies. The concept is strangely simple: mad scientists (at various times: Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff and Mary Jo Pehl) have launched a man (Joel Hodgeson and later Michael J. Nelson) into space and are forcing him to watch the worst movies ever made. To keep his sanity, the unfortunate spaceman and his robot friends (at various times: Beaulieu, Weinstein, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett and Jim Mallon) make fun of these movies. The original show was canceled about 10 years ago but most of the people involved are still riffing on cheesy movies – "the worst they can find".
One group of original cast members has formed a comedy troupe called "Cinematic Titanic" (Joel, Trace, J. Elvis, Frank and Mary Jo). Basically, they do a live version of the original show (minus the robot puppets). Recently I caught a performance in San Francisco. It wasn't surprising that the group was as funny as ever. What was surprising was the fact that all of the performers were holding iPads. They didn't make any sort of announcement about it. They just sat down and started to to read from them. They have always used paper scripts — even during live performances — so I was surprised to see this revival of a 90's era show using such 21st century devices.
I wanted to learn more about this so I contacted Glenn Schwartz, their PR person. He explained that the iPad solved several longstanding problems involving the creative process, performance and even travel.
During their creative process the cast will watch a bad movie and write down any jokes that come to mind. These are then sent to one cast member, Weinstein, who compiles them into a script. The script is then emailed to each cast member's iPad. They view the script in a PDF viewer and may make changes, which are shared via email directly from the iPads. The PDF reader allows each cast member to highlight their part and to make notes. The immediate effect of this is a tremendous reduction in wasted paper. It also allows for a very rapid iterative process even though all the participants are in different locations.
Apparently Apple has done an excellent job designing the UX of their PDF reader. The interaction is so natural that the cast is able to use it as if they were reading a paper script (paging to appropriate sections and etc). A side benefit of the glowing screen is that each performer is self illuminated, requiring much less stage lighting, if any at all. I was surprised to learn that the iPads are not synchronized to each other or to the film. The performers simply "turn the pages" of their scripts as necessary.
The troupe's five performers each need an updated script. These scripts are fairly lengthy (and heavy), weighing in at about 50 lbs a set. Now that the cast uses iPads they're no longer obligated to carry all that extra weight around. They simply bring along their iPads, something they would have probably done anyway for their own personal use.
Clearly the Cinematic Titanic troupe would benefit from a more integrated solution. Imagine if our own XLibris were an iPad app that was extended to include more collaborative features. A cloud version might enable these performers to iterate through changes in an even more natural way — retaining their local changes while automagically pushing or pulling in important global changes.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if a technology very much like this became the standard way that scripts are distributed. Xerography made quickly revising and distributing scripts possible; some form of XLibris on an internet-enabled tablet might make it even easier and faster.
This is just one example of the way these technologies enable people to work collaboratively. Cinematic Titanic's ad hoc script writing process isn't very different from the way researchers might prepare a paper or the way a sales team might prepare a presentation. A robust, document-centric application that supports annotation and collaboration running on a lightweight tablet might well be that killer app we've all been looking for.

Editor's observe: Carrying on with a key theme from Education on Air , we proceed our series of weblog posts about scholar empowerment. Moreover, analog video games present a social side that may't be replicated in digital games and allow educators to change parameters to suit the particular classroom. Eye Pet and Friends is much like the original, but this time you can have two pets on display screen at a time during which you and a member of the family/good friend can play with in enjoyable mini games. These educational video games for kids make studying fun with math details, language arts, and extra.
Math initiatives often incorporate STEM—science, know-how, engineering, and math—significantly in middle and high school classes. Great lens – I love the giggle poetry from Meadowbrook (I really utilized for a job there out of collage, however alas no luck 🙂 ) and thanks for submitting some lenses to Review Central – I'll actually add a category for academic kids web site critiques. But now Gameiva brings you some wonderful science experiment games for all the kids to assist them study science in a totally new manner.
Educational games are video games which can be designed to teach folks about sure subjects, broaden ideas, reinforce improvement, understand an historic event or tradition, or help them in learning a talent as they play. The reason Monopoly Jr. is so great is that it has all of the fun of the total Monopoly Edition recreation, with out the tediously long games.
The following instructional board games assist young youngsters be taught a few of the basic expertise they may carry with them throughout their lives. Supply and Demand, Lessons from Toy Fads – Middle college students research a few toy fads and analyze and graph the data from them to higher understand how costs are impacted by supply and demand. Also children can learn mental technique, eyes and hand coordination by taking part in these games. Help and assist is readily available in this step-by-step tutorial for Google's new on-line learning platform for colleges.
In response to the President's call to motion to create compelling academic software program, the White House hosted its first-ever training sport jam in September 2014. She made the argument that while not exactly a recreation, school isn't fairly actual-life either and vocational schools provide a sort of actual-life work sport – where failure is considered a part of the educational process. Kids will keep in mind their journeys by the Peppermint Forest and Queen Frostine's Iceberg for a very long time, however they'll keep in mind their colours for a lifetime.

Education is the key to success for later teenager, so since the early ages is indicated to read to children storybooks and poems before bedtime. Often some minutes of coloring can help the small one to acquire the most important educative skills. In this way, he will know the colors, the domestic or wild animals, thus this will develop his imagination.
Parents can read to the little one the most interesting stories for children, from the first months of his life so later, after the age of 2 years old to guide him to color some scenery from the coloring book. It is advisable to show him how to color after the age of two years old because at this age your child will not lead to his mouth the colored paper and he will no longer be attracted to break the sheets of the stories booklet.
The advantage of coloring in children's education is quite obvious. When the child will step on the school steps he will not be stressed when he sees the study books. Besides, he will be quite used to it and he will not associate them with homework, a very stressful task for the little ones.
At the same time, teaching him how to color is to help him develop his creativity. By drawing, the child can express his imagination and he will be able to learn the most essential concepts. Besides, the relationship between you as a parent and him can get to friendship, gaining confidence and speaking a similar language. When referring to his circle of friends this can be extended, thus managing to make friends with peers.
Finally, a coloring book can keep him at distance from the computer, without be imposed from you. Besides, the time spent watching TV will also be shortened. When your child is excited to learn how to color do not restrict him this activity as such you can help him later. Thus, the storybook or the one with childhood tales can be read later, before bed. To make a technique from reading a story before bedtime means that you will be able to create an educative sleep atmosphere and also pretty much expected from the children.

New Year Resolutions, 2013 Edition.
Every year I make a number of New Year resolutions, and every year I flake on some but go on to accomplish others.
This year I am hoping to increase the odds in terms of accomplishing these particular resolutions by creating a plan of attack in terms of completion, keeping myself more accountable through publishing said resolutions, and reappraising the list throughout the year, making adjustments when needed. Mid-year resolutions, anyone?
Here, then, is my list of resolutions, as is, for January 2013.
Taxes. (January)
Bicycling for exercise. (February)
Reconnect on a regular blog schedule. (February)
Go through clothes: donate/storage/keep. (February)
Renew genealogy focus. (February)
Get back to querying "101". (February)
Convert VHS tapes to DVD format. (February)
Map out route for road trip this summer. (March)
Edit "$$" and prepare query. (March)
Clear 2nd storage unit. (April)
Reorganize garage. (April)
Application for organization. (April)
Return to edit and work on "Blank". (September)
Organize pictures into albums (all boxes). (September)
Hang plates, or store. (September)
It's a long list, but with enough lead time, I should be able to at least start each step in the month indicated. Some categories will take a few days to complete. Some will take a few weeks, others a few months. Some of these goals are from last year, but with better organization (and every year I improve in that category!) I am aiming for a better completion rate than ever before!

Pride 2019: Five decades of queer rebellion
Welcome to the Bay Area Reporter's special Pride section. Stories are headlined with "Pride 2019."

Video and Pictures Emerge of Sony's New Honeycomb Tablets
Sony's sleek new Honeycomb tablet, whose odd newspaper design we speculated about earlier, will be released this Fall, along with a clamshell-shaped device with two screens, according to Sony officials.
The 9.4 inch S1 media tablet (aka, Qriocity) has both front and rear-facing cameras and looks like a promising competitor to Samsung's Galaxy Tab. The second tablet is the dual-screen S2 clamshell, which reminds us of a souped-up Nintendo DS and has a pair of 5.5 inch, 1,024 x 480 pixel displays, not to mention a Tegra 2 SoC, and camera. Both of these babies are Playstation certified, which will certainly up the ante when it comes to devices that offer both portable gaming and web-surfing.
Sony has said they wish to be the second largest tablet manufacturer in the world by 2012; an ambitious claim given the success of Samsung's tablets and Asus's promising Eee Pad Transformer. Even if the company doesn't capture the number two spot, there's plenty of money to go around as sales of tablet PCs are expected to quadruple in the next four years to almost 294 million units. Being able to market Playstation games on the device will certainly help, as more people are playing games on their smart phones than ever before.
Check out a promotional video of the new tablets below:

Midtown's 3-month-old Brasserie Azur is incredibly good-looking. As you walk past the royal palms out front and make your way into the dining room, your eyes are immediately drawn to the open-paneled ceiling. It's lit in a warm amber hue and interlaced with fuchsia florals and lush greenery. Edison bulbs hang from the panels, adding a distinctly industrial touch to an otherwise rustic space outfitted in neutral tones. There's also a foosball table, because, why not?
But rest assured you won't find any of the pomp associated with its South Beach sister party spot, Villa Azur. That vibe isn't what business partners and lifelong friends Michael Martin and
Here, you'll find plenty of wines by the glass for $8 or less and bottles for under $50, which is increasingly rare in Miami. Food-wise, there's a well-stocked raw bar and an impressive selection of charcuterie and cheeses, as well as five rotisserie-chicken preparations.
Appetizers include typical French bistro staples such as escargots de Bourgogne,
The restaurant doesn't have a chef de cuisine yet, and Mallet, a native of Limoges, is assisted by two sous-chefs. Before joining the Villa Azur brand in 2013, the toque worked at Pastis, Tantra, Guerite, and Maccheroni, all in France. As for the owners, French-born Martin and Bernard were serious players on the local nightlife scene (LIV and Nikki Beach Group, respectively) and joined forces in 2012 to launch Villa Azur. The SoBe restaurant-meets-lounge has since become known for its over-the-top Thursday-night soirees, glamorous international clientele, and visiting DJs.
Brasserie Azur, which resides in the former Mercadito space, is geared more toward the local crowd. Martin says the partners saw an opportunity to participate in midtown Miami's boom. While their new eatery feels too large to be called cozy, the atmosphere is decidedly laid-back. That said, in keeping with Villa Azur tradition, there's a live DJ Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.
But back to the food. Things started looking up with the arrival of artichoke carpaccio. Wafer-thin slivers of artichoke were chaperoned by equally thin slices of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and then crowned with vibrant arugula leaves. The dish was misted with a lemon vinaigrette that nicely drew out the bitterness of the lettuce and complemented the delicate crunchiness of the artichokes. It was simple yet far from boring.
Martin says the decision to offer rotisserie chicken was easy because it's a ubiquitous feature in French brasseries. In Miami, however, it's still somewhat of a novelty. Choosing among a plain farm-raised chicken, one marinated in truffles, and one flavored with lemon and rosemary wasn't easy, but we went for the most basic bird. The logic was that if the kitchen could execute the plain chicken well, the more elaborate options would be equally good, if not better. Chef Mallet says they slow-roast the bird until the meat is juicy and tender. And indeed, the protein boasted both of those qualities in addition to being expertly seasoned. Few things are as comforting as a beautifully roasted whole chicken, and Brasserie Azur does the beloved classic proud.
During our visit, the catch of the day was Dover sole — arguably the most pristine of white fish. But alas, it was exceedingly dry and lacking flavor. What a waste. The sole, along with the mussels, went virtually untouched, but our waiter, who seemed distracted throughout the evening, didn't bother to inquire why. It was a serious faux pas, especially considering the fish costs $49. Conversely, our side orders of finely cut fries and roasted mushrooms with parsley and garlic brimmed with delicious flavor.

Brasserie Azur's pastry chef is François Paille, and a nice feature to showcase his sweets is the restaurant's old-school dessert trolley. For $16, you can choose three items from the cart, whose options skew toward the traditional. Raspberry cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and apple tart with almond custard are all good, but there's simply no wow factor — nothing to set them apart from the competition.
And on the topic of competition, French-fueled Bistro Cassis is just around the corner, and Buena Vista Deli & Bistro are only minutes away. So while Brasserie Azur is certainly the prettiest and largest of the pack, it will need more than good looks and topnotch rotisserie chicken to fill all of its cushioned seats. Superior service and more refined cookery are what this newcomer requires

LE METIER DE BEAUTE Glow10ai Mask
There are a handful of beauty products that I would classify as life-changing and this mask is one of them. It sat on top of my bathroom counter for over a week before I finally decided to give it a try – but once I did, I was hooked. In just 10 minutes, it gives my skin that clear and glowy look that only the best facials can do.
Here's the deal: I think this kind of peel works best with freshly-exfoliated skin so I usually start with this scrub and then I apply a thin layer of the mask with my hands. (Note: it has a gooey, almost glue-like consistency which feels weird at first but you get used to it). I then wait about 10-15 minutes (or however long it is until the next TV commercial break). There's no tingling or burning or any uncomfortable tightness. Once it's completely dry, I start the peeling. I start at my jaw line and roll the mask from there. The entire mask comes right off. The result? My skin is smooth, so soft, and, yes, glow-y. It has totally revived the dull and lackluster skin I've been experiencing lately (thank you, winter) and feels like I've given myself a mini-facial. The best part is that it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. While some masks tend to aggravate my rosacea and leave my face redder than ever, this one seems to actually calm it down. It's become my favorite Sunday evening beauty ritual – apply, wait, and peel. I finish it all off with a layer of heavy duty moisturizer (I'm currently loving this one) and my skin is all set for the week ahead.

Road to Riches claims glory in the Galway Plate
Road To Riches took the path to glory under talented 7lb-claimer Shane Shortall in an eventful renewal of thetote.com Galway Plate at the Ballybrit track.
There were several casualties in the valuable handicap chase, but Shortall had his mount in the best place, up with the lead throughout the two-and-three-quarter-mile feature.
Lord Ben kept Road To Riches (14-1) company for most of the race, but lost his pitch at the business end as the Noel Meade-trained seven-year-old, owned by Gigginstown House Stud, pulled away in the closing stages.
Burn And Turn (16-1) made solid late progress to take second place 11 lengths behind the emphatic winner with Balnaslow (9-1), also owned by Gigginstown, third. Spring Heeled (10-1) was fourth.
It was a chance ride for Shortall, who picked up the mount after Ger Fox broke his collarbone in a fall at Wexford on Friday.
Among the horses not to complete the course were Alderwood, Kid Cassidy, Vulcanite and Terminal.
Meade said: "Being by Gamut, and Gamut is by Spectrum, most of them want good ground. Probably that's the key to him and he does want to come into a race fresh. He jumped brilliant.
"That was the plan since Punchestown. He went a fair gallop but he was always comfortable. He jumped so well he gave himself a chance, and every fence was a help to him.
"I think that was Shane's first ride for me. Ger (Fox) would have been riding him put for breaking his collarbone, but that's racing. We bought him off Martin Cullinane who only trains about six miles from here.
"That's the only one of the big races (at Galway) that I haven't won. I've been second in it I think three or four times. I'm absolutely thrilled as the Plate is something you want to win.
"I'm sure the handicapper is not going to be too nice to him after that, he won so easy. I'm sure he's a Graded horse, there is no doubt about that. His handicapping days might be over after that. Good ground is essential.
"The strangest thing comes into your mind. Willie (Mullins) was behind me watching the race, and he was winning so easy I said to him " I wonder did I put the lead bag on him at all!"
Shortall, who was completing a double having earlier won on Greatness, said: "That was brilliant, unbelievable!
"I got a dream spin off him the whole way around - after the third fence, I never saw another horse!
"He had a little fill taking the bend and when he got his breather I kicked on again. Climbing the hill after jumping the last, I was waiting for something to come but it never did and he galloped all the way to the line for me.
"He's as genuine as you could meet, he was brilliant. There was nothing coming to edge him on but he still galloped all the way to the line for me.
"I rode an E18,000 handicap winner two weeks ago and I thought that was brilliant, but to win the Galway Plate is the stuff of dreams.
"I wasn't getting out of bed this morning expecting to ride a double. It might never happen again so I'll make the most of it."
Road To Riches was given a 20-1 quote by RaceBets for the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival

Thanks to papa John (Husbands, Gloria), the name Cassavetes has come to symbolize intrepid, no-apologies filmmaking and the unconventional human interaction within Now, 15 years after the maverick's death, his heir has traveled to the opposite pole, adapting a Nicholas Sparks novel into a standard tearjerker, filling the screen with handfuls of manipulative Hollywood clichés.

When a distraught Don Juan is about to commit suicide because of the loss of his (most recent) love, psychiatrist Jack Mickler (Marlon Brando) is brought in to bring him back to reality. This proves to be a major undertaking, as Mickler slowly begins to realize that the "delusional" Don Juan may actually be who he says he is. As his last case before retirement, Mickler is given ten days to determine whether or not to institutionalize Don Juan, and there, the journey into the man's past begins.

The story opens in the present with an aged Hardy Greaves (Jack Lemmon) suffering a heart attack on a golf course. As he lies quietly smiling to himself, he muses on the frequency of his cardiovascular failures and his love of the game of golf, which meanders into a quixotic narration on the career of Rannulph Junuh (Damon). Soon the narrative fades to the past and we see Junuh at the height of his career, in the company of the enchanting Adele Invergordon (played by Charlize Theron of The Devil's Advocate fame; who, by the way, happens to represent the purest embodiment of good, wholesome sex that the film industry has to offer).

Alex Sheldon (Luke Wilson) is a budding novelist suffering from a severe case of writer's block that is holding him back from starting his book and getting the paycheck he desperately needs. Alex's debt collectors have given him only 30 days to complete his novel, collect the money, and pay of his gambling debt. Otherwise, Alex's life story will come to an end. Almost out of options, Alex convinces stenographer Emma Dinsmore (Kate Hudson) to quickly translate his thoughts to the written word. The story Alex tells pertains to a 1920s romantic triangle between grade school tutor Adam Shipley (also played by Wilson), the beautiful French matriarch (Sophie Marceau) of Shipley's charges, and the family au pair Anna (Hudson).

San Antonio hopes Wi-Fi lures riders to buses
San Antonio hopes Wi-Fi lures bus riders
City launches pilot program
San Antonio is trying to lure riders to public transit by offering riders free Wi-Fi.
A month-long pilot program being launched today will give access to riders on some VIA Metropolitan Transit express routes.
"What we're trying to figure out with the pilot program is how much interest there is out there," VIA President Keith Parker said. "We think there may be a considerable amount. And if there is, we plan to roll it out on a much larger level."
Next year, VIA will be adding hybrid-electric, full-electric and compressed natural gas buses to its fleet, Parker said, and Wi-Fi technology could be added to them.
"Before we make the investment (in the Wi-Fi technology), we want to make sure customers would use it," he said.
Targeting 'choice riders'
For the pilot program, VIA is using a device called a "MiFi," a small wireless device that provides Internet service to up to five devices at a time. The agency has equipped two buses with the equipment.
Outfitting buses with wireless Internet is just one way VIA is trying to reach out to a more diverse group of riders, namely "choice riders," those who aren't dependent on the bus system.
The agency is also working on an iPhone application that would give riders real-time bus information and trip-planning capability. Also, Google Maps now offers trip planning through information it receives from VIA.
Officials with Houston's Metro haven't publicly discussed adding Wi-Fi to buses here.
Austin had success
In Austin, Capital Metro added free Wi-Fi to some buses in January 2007, spokeswoman Misty Whited said. The program later became permanent and will be available on Capital Metro's rail line when it starts running, possibly early next year.
Some 50 vehicles are fitted with free wireless Internet service, said Kirk Talbott, Capital Metro's chief information officer.
Talbott said that on average, about six customers log on in each bus, though the capacity is much larger.
"Now that we're seeing more mobile devices, like cell phones that can take advantage of Wi-Fi, we expect that there will be more usage that way," he said. "But it's kind of a horse race in the sense that as technology advances, mobile technology is getting faster, too. You come to a point where you're faster doing it individually than doing it on a shared system."
