Cambridge University Library is releasing some 20,000 items and 90,000 images belonging to the very private Charles Darwin on darwin-online.org.uk.
This release makes his private papers, mountains of notes, experiments, and research behind his world-changing publications available to the world for free," said John van Wyhe, director of the project.
"His publications have always been available in the public sphere – but these papers have until now only been accessible to scholars."
As happy as I am to see these get released to the public (and in digital form to boot!), I'm leery of how creationists are probably already prowling through these journal pages mining for quotes they can take out of context and use against evolution in their usual dishonest method. They do it all the time.
Creationist IDiots aside, I am still very happy about this public release. It will be nice to have access to his diary pages and field notes and really see how the evidence was built up piece-by-piece, fact-by-fact, until the case made itself.

I would like to introduce Robert Renaud author of The Time Trading Guru. I appreciate you stopping by for an interview and offering a giveaway of your book. Up for grabs is an ecopy in PDF format of one copy of The Time Trading Guru.
Please tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm a life enthusiast and dreamer, with a wife and three wonderful kids. I leverage time trading between working as an executive and raising a family to living life to the fullest and becoming personally fulfilled in the process. I've lived my dreams from dancing with a princess, living as a millionaire, being a cartoonist, to becoming a traveller. Yet, throughout it all I have dared to 'live' today, and not postpone life to sometime in the future. My book details the time trading formula to give you a blueprint to how you can live your life more fully.
Please tell us about your book.
Absolutely, The Time Trading Guru is about using the levers of life: time, flexibility, and money and the DREAM process that provides steps to goal setting, to take life breaks. By following this blueprint you stop postponing your life to some time in the future and begin to live life today.
How long have you been writing and when did you first become interested in time management?
I write, literally every day in the course of my work, but the focus is on business and research writing with lots of nuances and subtleties. The Time Trading Guru is far from this bureaucratic business style. In fact, I have deliberately written the book to make it easy and interesting to read. I also write a blog www.timetradingguru.com with musings on the principles of the book.
Have you had formal training or are these techniques you have developed on your own?
I would say that I've had quite a variety of training in this regard. It started in university through the writing of research papers to the business world where my writing transformed to business writing. I've had more than enough business communications people "tell" me how to write, spin, and duck. Then, during my project to write The Time Trading Guru I was most fortunate to find a very good editor. I was looking for someone who would tell me like it was. After some searching, I found him. My editor was Michael Garrett, Stephen King's editor of early years. Yes, that Stephen King, and no the book isn't a horror story. I have learned by far the most from him and for that I'm thankful. For anyone interested in pursing their writing interest, I would highly recommend that you allow yourself to take a leap of faith and embrace good communicators to make your writing better.
What inspired you to write a book about time management?
Likely my life. I grew up with some big challenges that gave me new perspectives about life and the power each of us have that we can use to control how we navigate in life. I realized that I did things people were always saying they would do in retirement. They were always postponing living their dreams to some time in the future. So, I decided to write and share my formula to living life and becoming personally fulfilled, all without having to give up everything you have.
Have you written other books on this topic or other genre?
No, this is the first book I've written - I'm a newbie. Well. Actually, I must say this is my second book. My first book is The Red Tape Chronicles - a collection of my comic strip The Bureaucrats.
How long did it take to write this book?
I had the ideas locked in my head for a number of years. Then finally, after pushing myself I took the time to write down all my thoughts. In all, it took me about 4 months to write the book.
Do you have any other projects in mind at this time?
Yes, I always have things in mind. I'm currently collecting my thoughts for another potential book, but the ideas are still quite immature. But, I certainly see a sequel to the book in the short future.
Is there anything else that you would like to add?
Absolutely, I write, work like you, and help people become time traders all over the world. If you're searching for something that's missing in your life, whether it's a more engaging job, a meaningful relationship, or a personal quest, I'd like to welcome you to the life of a time trader at www.timetradingguru.com. I'll share with you how you can use the levers of life to take life breaks and how you can leverage the DREAM process to attain your goals and reach your potentiality. I write on a weekly basis to help people become time traders all over the world.
Thanks again for letting me do this interview and for offering such a great giveaway.

We've all heard of the famous fried rat from the horrifying KFC story. Maybe you read it online or maybe you heard it from a friend of a friend of yours. Whichever the case, after you read the next 15 horror stories, you'll be thinking that the rat really wasn't all that bad. I'm sure that at some point in your life, you have encountered something icky in your food. Sometimes it can be as simple as a bug in your salad, and other times, it can be much worse. No one likes to take a bite out of their meal to then find a half-eaten insect or gooey substance; yet it happens all of the time.
If you have ever worked in a kitchen, then you are no stranger to the horrors that go on behind the scenes. Even though your food looks immaculate, there can be spit, saliva, dandruff or just about anything that stems from the human body. Still, what we don't know can't hurt us and laziness often makes us go back to fast food restaurants despite the warnings of others.
Having someone handle your food before you eat it, can have its perks and downfalls. On one hand, you don't have to cook or clean up, yet on the other hand —there's a finger missing and it's in your sandwich.
Being nice to the minimum wage workers that make your food is the first step in making sure your meal won't be tampered with, but sometimes mistakes happen, and you end up eating what you paid for.
15 Arby's Human Sandwich
A 14-year-old boy by the name of Ryan Hart bit off a little more than he could chew at an Arby's restaurant in Michigan back in 2012. Hart, who was about to take the last couple bites of his delicious Arby's sandwich, was suddenly thrown-off when he tasted something rubbery. The teenage boy immediately spat out the contents in his mouth and was horrified to find the back of a finger. The finger, which extended beyond the first knuckle, seemed to point at Hart in accusation. "You did this to me," said the finger.
Hart, who is obviously traumatized by the experience, tells reporters that he was about to puke and that it was just nasty. Arby's restaurant apologized for the incident, yet did not temporarily close down the restaurant to sanitize the area and continued to serve food to the busy restaurant. As for Mr. Finger, no one has come forward to claim him, and so he has been forced to get a part-time job at Subways.
14 McCockroach
McDonald's is just the greatest, wouldn't you agree? The burgers are bouncy, the fries are one of a kind, and there is always a little mystery behind ever single bite. Yet, for some reason, a postal worker named Joshua Camilleri has sworn to never eat McDonald's again. Isn't that weird? He must be allergic or something. Too bad for him.
One day, while Camilleri was working, he decided to stop at the local McDonald's in Queensland, Australia for a little bite to eat. Mid-burger, he noticed something black and crunchy in the middle of his patty, and to his dismay, found half a cockroach. "I threw up pretty much straight away. I went to the bathroom and threw up. It's disgusting," said the 37-year-old postal worker. After his shift, he returned to the McDonald's with the burger as proof. The branch reimbursed him for his troubles, but would only allow an investigation, if Camilleri returned the burger, which he refused to do. Instead, he posted the picture on his Facebook page, and then ate the other half.
13 Coffee: Two Creams, One Mouse
You know that feeling you get when you take your first sip of coffee in the morning? Well, when it comes to Canadian Ron Morais, he got to experience a different type of coffee-related feeling: betrayal. Morais was betrayed by his McDonald's morning coffee, and now, he will never trust it again.
"I always take the lid off to get my last sip of coffee. And when I took the lid off, there was a little bit of a surprise in my coffee cup... It was a dead mouse," said Morais while being interviewed by CBC. Although the man seemed a little too happy to have found a dead mouse in his coffee, he did however, mention that the thought of drinking an entire cup of coffee with a mouse in it, made him feel a little queazy. As for the mouse, Morais gave it to his cousin Bubbles, who thought it would be the perfect gift for his cats — back at the trailer park.
12 Burger King's Condom Burger
Miguel Hartless learned the hard way that asking for special treatment at a fast food restaurant can only end badly. Back in 2007, Hartless decided to stop by Burger King to pick himself up a tasty Southwestern Whopper. Now, Hartless was no newbie when it came to ordering this burger, he had done it many times before. He always asked the cashier to hold the onions, and add jalapeños peppers to his order, but this time, she wasn't having it. She told him that they had never carried jalapeño peppers — frustrated, Hartless accepted her false fact and waited for his order.
Minutes later, when his meal was ready, the cashier read back his order to him, and Hartless was peeved to find out they got it wrong. He sent it back and waited for a new Whopper to be made. When Hartless arrived to his home, and bit into his burger, he found an unwrapped condom. When Hartless returned to Burger King to complain, he was laughed at by the manager. Needless to say, the incident was taken to court.
11 KFC's Deep Fried Chicken Brain
Ibrahim Langoo and his friend Laura Canning shared an experience that made them never want to go anywhere near a KFC, ever again. One day, while on lunch break, the pair decided to go to KFC and split a Gladiator box meal. Canning ate the fillet burger, while Langoo ate the 2 deep fried chicken pieces. Luckily for Langoo, he has a habit of tearing the chicken off with his fingers, before popping it into his mouth, because what he saw after he pried open the piece of meat, sent shivers down his spine. Under the deep fried surface, appeared to be a chicken brain. Langoo freaked out, and immediately left the restaurant, unable to touch the piece of "chicken."
Langoo took a picture of the "brain" and sent an online complaint. KFC then explained, that the brain was in fact, a chicken kidney, and that they were terribly sorry for the incident. They offered him free coupons, but Langoo stated that he would never, ever eat there again.
10 Aldi Pasta Toe Nail Sauce
If you think finding a hair in your food is bad, imagine finding a huge toenail in your spaghetti. Back in 2012, Tracy Arnold was horrified to find out that her succulent home made dish was tainted by a ghastly, yellow toe nail. "It was the most disgusting thing I have ever found in my food in my life. It was huge, it looked like it had been cut," said the 46-year-old mother.
Arnold, who is a regular at the Aldi store, had purchased a packet of minced beef and a can of tomato sauce to make her homemade bolognaise sauce that very morning. When she arrived to the store, with the vile toenail, she was infuriated to find out that she would not be taken seriously. She demanded for a full refund on her bill and requested that all items be recalled for further investigation. Can you believe that? She doesn't even make her own tomato sauce, yet she calls it 'homemade' — what a liar.
9 An Ice Cream Cone With Two Poops
Being served human feces is enough to make someone reconsider their life choices. It is the ultimate insult and not one that should be taken lightly. One night, single mother Patricia Hill, decided to bring her 4 children to get some frozen treats at a local ice cream stand. Hill explained that the lines were very long and that she had to wait about 20 minutes to be served, which basically turned her into a monster. She began yelling at the staff, her own children, and even the manager.
Hill says, that after she placed her order, it took an additional 10 minutes for her to be served. Annoyed, she took her 4 ice cream sundaes, one double scoop of chocolate ice-cream, and proceeded to sit down with her children. "I finished the top part of the chocolate, half of the second scoop, and when I got to the 'ice cream' stuffed in the cone, I knew something wasn't right," Hill explained. She immediately became ill and burst into tears. Hill now understands that she waited an additional 10 minutes for someone to take a crap in her ice cream cone.
8 Applebee's Bloody Asian Salad
If you go to Applebee's and order a salad, you're basically asking for something to go wrong. You should always stick with fries — they never lie or hide who they really are. One night, the Martin family decided to go out for a nice little supper at an Applebee's in Paso Robles. Unfortunately, their experience was not a happy one.
Pregnant Cathleen Martin, her husband and their child ended up leaving the restaurant in disgust after Cathleen found what happened to be a fingertip in her Asian chicken salad. After complaining about the human flesh, the manager confirmed that the chef had in fact cut off the tip of his finger. While the chef ran off to stop the bleeding, a server unknowingly came and delivered the salad, before the chef had a chance to inform anyone of the incident. Luckily, the soon-to-be mother of two, caught sight of the flesh before she ingested it. If she had not, she might have given birth to the Hannibal's long lost child.
7 Bony Burger
Yet another McDonald's horror story and still most of you will crave a Big Mac after reading this article — thanks to all the McCrack they put in their food. Back in 2008, a woman named Millicent Brown filed a lawsuit against McDonald's and Walmart after receiving a double cheeseburger that contained some unwanted bone. The incident occurred in Chicago at a McDonalds situated inside of a Walmart.
After biting into the burger, Brown shattered some teeth and needed extensive dental surgery to repair the damage. The procedures included a root canal, extraction, bone graft, flipper, implant and a post and crown. Now, that must have been one hell of a bite, or the biggest piece of bone in the world. Nonetheless, Brown decided to sue for over $50,000 and is willing to put up a fight. Now, if Brown fights as hard as she bites, she will no doubt win her lawsuit and more.
6 Silver Milky Way
Sue Calhoun and her husband were excited to be taking a road trip to Dallas on New Year's Day back in 2010, especially since they were on their way to pick up their brand new tractor. The couple, who felt as though they deserved a little treat, decided to stop by the store and buy some chocolate bars for their long drive.
Calhoun picked herself up a nice milky way, and took a huge bite, which was absolutely delicious. However, her love for chocolate took a weird turn, the second she took her second bite.
At first, she believed that there was a peanut in her chocolate bar, but she spat it out to examine it a little closer. When she saw that it was a tooth, she immediately checked her mouth to see is she had miraculously lost one, and she hadn't. Sick to her stomach, Calhoun came to terms with the fact that a human tooth had been baked into her Milky Way. After the incident, Calhoun stated that she has lost her sweet tooth, and well, she isn't the only one.
5 Pizza With A Side Of Bandaid
The day that pizza betrays you is the day that you lose all faith in humanity. Sadly, Ken Wieczerza found himself in the worst situation ever: unhappy while holding a piece of pizza.
When Wieczerza ordered himself a large supreme pizza topped with pepperoni, ham and green peppers from Pizza Hut, he did not recall asking for an extra side of bandaid. Yet, this is what was delivered to his house. Now, imagine the excitement you feel when you see the pizza delivery man walking up your driveway and replace it with the dread of biting into a 3-inch blue band-aid with blood on it. It's enough to make you want to cry. What is worse is that Wieczerza's complaint was not taken seriously by the Pizza Hut staff and eventually, they even stopped answering his calls on the matter. Wieczerza had no choice but to take it to the media and see where his story would go from there.
4 Tongue-Eating Tuna
Finding out that your tuna can contains anything but tuna, can be a very frightening ordeal. Especially when it appears to contain an alien-looking entity. One year ago, Zoe Butler, a British mother, was preparing supper for her family, when she noticed an odd looking purple creature in her Princess tuna can. Horrified, she poked at the peculiar glob and was flabbergasted to find out that it had a pair of eyes.
Butler received word from expert Stuart Hine, that the freaky looking creature was in fact a Cymothoa Exigua, which in other words, translates to a tongue eating parasite. Now this parasite is not harmful to humans, but it is still extremely frightening to come in contact with. Traditionally, the Cymothoa Exigua enters itself into a fishes gills, and attaches to its tongue. Butler, who has been in contact with the Princess company, has stated that she does not want any compensation, she simply wishes that this incident does not happen to somebody else.
3 Taco Bell's Mystery Meat
In 2011, Taco Bell faced an interesting law suit after failing to meet the minimum requirements set by the U.S Department of Agriculture. This law suit revealed that Taco Bell's meat, was in fact only 35 percent real meat. If this does not make you cringe, and swear off Taco Bell for good, then I don't know what will — you cannot be saved.
The law suit was filled by Amanda Obney, a California resident, who cannot stand the fact that Taco Bell advertises their meat as "seasoned ground beef," when in reality, more than half of it is simply filler.
Want to know what makes up the other 65 percent? Well, you're in luck. Taco Bell's meat is a mixture of water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodextrin, anti-dusting agents and modified corn starch. Now doesn't that just sound scrumptious? Obney is pushing for Taco Bell to change its signs from "seasoned ground beef" to "mixed meat."
2 McMaggots
On August 26, of this year, a woman named Madison Stephens experienced one of the creepiest scenarios in the fast food world: maggots. Stephens decided to treat her 15-month-old son to a nice little burger from McDonald's and also purchased one for herself. As Stephens was about to take her first big bite, she noticed a little white worm fall out of her burger and immediately snatched the burger out of her sons hands.
Both her and her sons burgers were swarming with tiny white worms."If I hadn't seen that worm, my son would have eaten that, because it was already on top of his sandwich. That's how close he came to eating it," said the young mother. When she called the Kentucky branch to complain, Stephens was rewarded with a $10 McDonald's gift card, which she took as an insult. To make matters worse, Stephens was not the only person to find maggots in their burger and a similar incident was also reported the same day.
1 Condom Chowder
Back in 2002, a woman named Laila Sultan and three friends decided to go eat supper at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant. The four women, who had obviously been there before, all chose to order the same meal, but little did they know, they had just entered a game of Clam Chowder Russian Roulette.
All of a sudden, Sultan was startled to find something rubbery getting stuck to her tooth. She immediately knew that something wasn't right. She pulled out the object, only to realize that she had been chewing on an unwrapped condom. Sultan got up, ran to the washroom, and was instantly sick for minutes on end.
The four friends left the restaurant and called their lawyers, intent on a lawsuit, however, the restaurant owner and the four women eventually came to an agreement and the lawsuit was dropped. In return, the restaurant owner sued the company that supplied his restaurant's clams and that was that.

Item 24451-2307
Totem Trim:
Embodying the rich Native history of this land and it's people, renowned Alaskan artist Michael Webber designed the Totem trim exclusively for Copper River Fleece. Born of a rich Alutiiq and Tlingit ancestry, Michael lives in Cordova, Alaska where his family heritage reaches back to the first footsteps in this region. Emblazoned with the Eagle, Raven, Killer Whale, and Beaver Clans' crests, the Totem trim tells the story of traditional Tlingit influences stretching from Southeast Alaska to the Copper River. As Mike explains, "The Eagle and Raven are positioned in the center, representing their status as the largest and most powerful clans. Talon, wing, and human head forms surround the Eagle, in accordance with traditional Tlingit design. Known as the Wise One, the Raven is believed to have created the earth, sun, moon, animals, and all other life forms. Tying the sea to the land and its people, the Killer Whale meshes fins, tail, and human form. The Beaver Clan was known for its powerful chiefs and shamans, whose strength is evident in the oversized incisors, tail, and beaver head." In this vibrant trim, Mike brilliantly weaves ancestral totems of Tlingit culture, handed down through generations.
Fabric Properties:
- Softshell Fabric
- Abrasion-resistant woven polyester outer-face
- Moisture-wicking microfleece interior

How to Use the Blend If Options in Photoshop CS6
By using the slider bars in Adobe Photoshop CS6, you can use the Blend If options and specify which colors are visible in the active layer and which colors show through from the underlying layers.
You can select a specific channel from the Blend If pop-up menu to apply the option to a single channel. The default channel, Gray, affects all channels in the image. The two sliders at the bottom of the Layer Style dialog box do the following:
This Layer: Allows you to set a blending range. In other words, you can hide certain colors according to the brightness values in the active layer. By dragging the black triangle to the right, you exclude darker colors. By dragging the white triangle to the left, you exclude lighter colors.
Underlying Layer: Forces the colors from the underlying layers to show through the active layer. Again, dragging the black and white triangles excludes ranges of colors.
Excluding and forcing colors can result in some harsh color transitions. You can provide for a smoother transition between blended and unblended areas by splitting the slider into two parts, allowing the pixels to gradually fade to transparency. Alt-drag (Option-drag on the Mac) on either the black or white triangle in either slider bar to split the triangle into two halves.
The left and right triangles mark the beginning and end of the blending range, where pixels fade into or out of view.
In Version CS6, a double square icon will appear on the layer, just to the left of the fx icon, indicating that the layer has advanced blending options applied.
One of the most important tweaks you can make is to opacity. Follow these steps to adjust the opacity settings on some of the layers:
Open your saved collage file.
If the Layers panel isn't already visible, open it.
Select a layer in your collage and move the opacity slider to the left or right.
If you want the layer to be more opaque, move the slider to the right. If you're interested in making the layer more transparent, move the slider to the left.
This image uses Layer 4 and the opacity has been adjusted to 90%. The blue sky in the collage is a tad too vibrant in comparison to the rest of the image. Adjusting the opacity tones it down and allows the blue to blend in more naturally.Credit: ©istockphoto.com/Image mura #4475506, Image #3200044, Image #6672627, 101 Cats Image#15160833 and Kertlis Image #656377
Save the file and move on to the next layer you want to adjust.
If desired, select a layer and experiment with applying a blend mode from the Mode pop-up menu in the Layers panel.
If you don't like the way it looks, you can set it back to Normal. No harm done. In this image, a Darken blend mode was applied to the sky layer which helped that layer blend in better with the edges of the trees.
When you're satisfied with the opacity and blending, save the collage file.

Linux vs. Microsoft: Blocking unwanted e-mail advances
Security expert James Turnbull recommends Linux-flavored tools to block unwanted e-mail.
MS Exchange and Outlook have limited capabilities to block spam. Most of the mechanisms available to them are relatively unsophisticated and prone to false positives. It is assumed that you will integrate third-party anti-spam products into any Exchange-based solutions such as Mailsweeper or GFI Mailessentials.
In the case of Linux-based clients most have similar anti-spam features to MS Outlook and are of limited effectiveness. The sole exception being Mozilla Thunderbird which has some slightly more powerful features in it -- though these require some configuration and are still subject to some false positives.
In the case of Linux-based e-mail servers most of these, with some configuration changes, have a number of built-in anti-spam features. This is particularly true of Postfix which provides a large number of variables that can reduce the volume of spam you receive. This generally though does not mitigate the need for a third-party add-on to prevent spam such as SpamAssassin or Bogofilter.

WAITING times at a Liverpool hospital are being investigated after it failed to meet tough government targets for consultant appointments.
The Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery claims a shortage of neurologists has lead to almost 180 patients having to wait more than 26 weeks to see a doctor.
Since April no patient was supposed to wait more than 26 weeks for a hospital outpatient appointment.
Earlier this year consultants at the centre decided to hold extra clinics in their own time to help the hospital meet the deadline on March 30.
Although this was successful, over the past three months up to 177 people have been forced to wait beyond the target time.
Now the new Cheshire and Merseyside health authority has ordered an external assessment of the centre's management of waiting lists.
It will also be the target of a government spot check over the next two months. Chief executive Kate Abendstern today stressed that most of the patients waiting over 26 weeks were non-urgent cases, suffering recurrent headaches and dizzy spells.
She blamed a shortage of neurologists for the failings.
"We have breached the targets since March, mainly because one of our consultants left in May and we are short of one neurologist.
"We have funding for another full time and one part time post, but it is taking time to fill them and sustaining the position we attained at the end of March is very difficult.
"At the moment we have one consultant per 200,000 population, when we should have one per 100,000."
The hospital have now devised a recovery plan to help them meet the targets. They are hoping to recruit another two full time and one part time consultant to add to the 16 neurologists currently employed.
And they must make sure every patient gets an appointment within 21 weeks by November, when the government makes the target even tougher.
Mrs Abendstern added: "We have more capacity in some areas than others, for example at Whiston Hospital we have a lot of referrals and only one consultant, Chester and Southport services are also under pressure.
"What we need to do is make sure we put the new consultants time into those places, so we have asked patients if they would be prepared to come to another clinic for an appointment.
"And all but three of the 177 who have been waiting more than 26 weeks have now been offered an appointment."

"In case you missed it, the witch – Wiccan and beyond – is having a moment in pop culture," states a 2018 Fashion article, one of dozens of similar articles written about Wicca, paganism or witchcraft last year. If you're over thirty and you feel like you're experiencing deja vu, you're not alone. Witchcraft as a trend have been a common topic from publications for decades. This poses a question: At what point does it no longer qualify as a fad?
According to Dr. Denise Cush, a professor of Religion & Education at the Bath Spa University in England, she's noticed a steady increase throughout her career. In the 2007 text, The New Generation Witches, Dr.Cush states: "Teaching in Religious Studies and Religious Education at a University level since the mid-1980s, I have been aware in my own practice of an increasing number of students who would identify themselves as pagan."
If self identifying pagans were on the rise in the 1980s, it makes sense to look back a bit further. Perhaps the fad actually started in the early 1970s, as posited by the Time cover story "The Occult Revival: A Substitute Faith" in 1972: "This recent scene — and many a similarly bizarre one — is being re-enacted all across the U.S. nowadays. In Oakland, Calif., when the moon is full, a group of college-educated people gather in a house in a middle-class neighborhood, remove their clothes, and whirl through the double spiral of a witches' dance." However, the same author quotes Margaret Murray in her 1921 controversial publication Witch Cult in Western Europe, in which the famed anthropologist describes the new witchcraft trend as a "vestige of the nature worship of Europe's pagan days."
The trend continues, with tones of hand wringing or mockery, to span decades. After an entire century of authors investigating witchcraft as a fad, it begs the question: Are we truly attempting to understand 'alternative' religious movements with these types of publications, or simply discredit them?

Alessandro Del Piero
Life Path Number 5
" I even scored Monaco's goal too. Please, put it down as an own goal for me!"
Alessandro Del Piero is an Italian footballer.
He was born on Saturday November 9th 1974, in Conegliano, Italy.
The key to Alessandro's personality is freedom. Alessandro loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. He possesses the curiosity of a cat and longs to experience all of life.
Alessandro Del Piero loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as he is not tied down to any one area. Piero likes change, new things and new horizons. He makes friends easily; his personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life. Alessandro has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. He can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.
Alessandro Del Piero likely lacks discipline and order. He can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things he regrets later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.
Alessandro is sensual and loves to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of his life. He finds it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed, Alessandro Del Piero can be as faithful as an old dog.
He is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to Piero's success. Without these, many of the tasks Alessandro begins will remain unfinished and he will fail to realize the true fruits of his abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Alessandro Del Piero may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by his family. However, he must not be obliged to hurry his choice of career. He is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before he can truly know and commit to his heart's desire. Alessandro's challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in his world, requiring adaptability and courage.
Alessandro Del Piero should try to maintain an exercise program, keep his body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of Piero's body will promote security and confidence within him. Alessandro yearns for freedom, and self-employment attracts him powerfully. His challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate his ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Alessandro Del Piero finds his niche, the motivation and inspiration he supplies others with will bring him much in return, and Piero will find his friends and colleagues supporting and promoting him on the road to success.
You and Alessandro
About Alessandro's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Alessandro Del Piero's birth. In that instant, Alessandro stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Piero's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Alessandro Del Piero's life.

|A young Octavio Paz
Book Review
The Labyrinth of Solitude (1950)
by Octavio Paz
It is unclear why the 1001 Books project would entirely omit ALL non-fiction titles between the dawn of time and 1950 and then choose to include The Labyrinth of Solitude as the only work of non-fiction up to this point. It's even more puzzling when you consider that Paz was primarily a poet and that there are no poems included in the 1001 Books project. So here we have a book length essay about Mexican/Latin American identity, written by a poet, which is the only non-fiction title up to this point in the entire 1001 Books project.
At the same time, it's easy to tie The Labyinth of Solitude into the emergence of Latin American literature in the mid 20th century. Paz is a harbinger of an independent Latin American identity for writers and intellectuals. Whatever ones perspective on the events of Mexican/Latin American history between independence and World War II, it was a tough time to be a scholar, thinker or intellectual. The history favored men of action, landowners and activists working on behalf of the poor. Intellectuals and their natural audience of the middle class were in short supply across Latin America.
In The Labyrinth of Solitude Paz takes a stab at defining Mexican and Latin American identity as being situated between the Spanish Empire of the Old World and the American Empire of the New. The combination of disdain both for old and new, a defining characteristic of Latin American intelllectual culture is already present, fully formed, in the The Labyrinth of Solitude. Paz spent time in America- he writes about his time in Berkeley, CA. and the opening chapter of Labyrinth concerns Pachuco youth culture, which is present both in Mexico and the United States.

Greetings from the rare and forbidden volumes section library of Miskatonic University (okay actually my small municipal airport's departures area), this is Nyarlath'on'tap with my first of what will certainly be an integer number of guests posts. Given the conclusion of The Journey of the J it only seems right that I take a moment to describe the tools and methods of my own brewing trade.
My apartment is small, and storage is limited, so I do all of my brewing in one gallon batches. That lets me do a full boil on a gas stove and the post-boil cooling with an ice bath in the sink.
It has the added benefit that I can brew frequently without outpacing my consumption rate (I'm fairly sure that means you're not drinking enough beer…- Bifur). Also, there is very little consequence if a batch doesn't work out.
To start, I was gifted a starter kit from Northern Brewer which included both a recipe kit and essential equipment. Starting with that equipment I followed the excellent guide by Emma Christensen to upgrade to an all grain system.She has a book which also covers that system and includes lots of recipes specifically developed for one gallon brewing all grain. Beyond the starter kit, the main equipment I needed was a large strainer, though I also acquired a little big mouth bubbler. (Say, what's the policy on kickbacks for all of the increased traffic this is going to produce for kitchn, and also book sales?) (No policy as yet, maybe if we get a larger readership we might start demanding a fee of golden monies from the wider internet but at present I'm not sure anyone out there is really listening… – Bifur)
Brewing a single gallon batch proceeds very similarly to a five gallon batch, with a couple of key differences. First, I mash in my brew kettle, rather than placing it into an insulated jug, I place the kettle into my oven (preheated on low to help maintain temperature, but off once the kettle is inside). I check the temperature every 15 minutes while mashing and either stir off heat or heat on the stove as needed to maintain the desired temperature.
(Hey! Dwalin, how come our stuff never looks as well organised and neat? – Bifur)
Second, to mash out I pour through a strainer back and forth between my brew kettle and a two gallon bucket. (See the alien tentacled appendage with which he grips the sacred Malt vessel?!? Truly a monstrous old one this Nyarlath'on'tap – Bifur)
I do primary fermentation in the 1.4 gallon little big mouth bubbler. The large amount of headroom prevents the fermenter from foaming over during primary fermentation. Secondary is done in the gallon jug from the Northern Brewer starter kit.
(Damn. Now that's a view… – Bifur)
Using half a package of Safale US-05 yeast, fermentation usually completes in about a week, though I usually rack to secondary after two weeks. Ignoring the common debate on the merits of secondary, I rack so that the primary fermenter will be ready for a new batch (the 1 gallon jug tends to foam over if used for primary. Assuming there aren't any major losses, I can usually fill 1 full pint (16 oz) bottle, and 8 standard (12 oz) bottles. One concern about small batches is sacrificing volume for hydrometer readings seems extreme. I use a refractometer to make original gravity measurements, and then use a free online calculator to correct the final gravity reading for the presence of both sugar and alcohol.
(Such instrument of ancient alchemical wonderment is beyond the comprehension of us Dwarves who maintain the Manly Mens brewery, but we are an inquisitive race and eager to learn the secrets of the deep down ones… – Bifur)

Sea Fare Pacific makes it easy to love tuna again!
With Sea Fare Pacific's wild caught albacore tuna, you can be assured that your tuna and its packaging are free from GMO-ingredients, mercury, and BPA.
In addition, this wonderful fish sea food is healthier than other typical tuna brands, because Sea Fare Pacific's tuna is only cooked once--and is cooked in its own nutritous fish oils.
We were able to do a Sea Fare Pacific Tuna Review of the Salt Free Tuna and their Jalapeno Tuna. I was initially impressed that all their fish sea food tuna is line-caught solely in the Pacific US. In fact, this tuna is on Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch's Super Green List as a "Best Choice" item
Read on to see how we prepared our tuna and what we thought of it!
I also love pouched tuna because it is so portable and doesn't require draining. For those reasons, pouched tuna can be a great snack or meal item to keep in your office. Sea Fare Pacific premium pouched tuna has a shelf life of 3 years!
Here is a picture of the Salt Free Tuna right out of the pouch. I noticed that it had a milder tuna smell than most canned tunas. I mixed in some Vegenaise and some sliced grape tomatoes so that I could enjoy a tuna sandwich. It was delicious with very tasty and mild tuna flavor. It was a really wonderful and nutritious lunchtime meal!
My husband ate Sea Fare Pacific's jalapeno pepper flavored albacore tuna as a tuna salad for dinner. He really enjoys spicier flavors and welcomed the opportunity to have a spicy dinner.
The jalapeno tuna was very pretty with diced jalapeno and olive oil in it. It made a wonderful salad, and like I mentioned before, I couldn't even smell any "tuna smell" from across the table. To me, that means that this fish sea food is extremely fresh and well packaged. My husband said that the tuna was better than other tunas he has had in the past and that the jalapeno not too strong or spicy, but that it gave the tuna a great flavor. He was happy to have such a healthy, jalapeno-flavored dish for dinner!
Overall, we can definitely recommend Sea Fare Pacific Tuna. From what I experienced in this fish sea food tuna review, the Sea Fare Pacific tuna was fresh and delicious. In addition to tasty tuna, I must also applaud them for their environmentally-safe and health-conscious practices. You can check out this fishing video from their YouTube page. Please also like Sea Fare Pacific on Twitter and Facebook and stay tuned for an upcoming Sea Fare Pacific Tuna Giveaway!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Instead of having to create your own personal assistant for smartphones Galaxy Samsung has decided to buy more or less ready solution. The company reported absorption of Viv Labs, a startup founded by the creators of the voice assistant Apple Siri. The transaction amount was not disclosed. In may, Viv Labs, has publicly shown his personal assistant new generation (name simple — Viv). The product was able to successfully handle complex user requests, much to the surprised audience, who attended the presentation.
the creation of the Viv are Cheyer Adam (Adam Cheyer), Dag Kittlaus (Dag Kittlaus) and Chris Brigham (Chris Brigham), who gradually retired from Apple after the takeover of Siri in 2012 and in subsequent years worked on Viv. They are now under the wing of Samsung, but Viv Labs, according to TechCrunch, will continue to work and develop as a separate company.
of Course, Samsung made this purchase not just for the future: Viv will be used in the mass platforms the Korean company. A powerful personal assistant that is integrated in countless devices from Samsung, will allow the company to offer a worthy alternative to Apple's Siri, Amazon, Alexa, Google Assistant and a number of lesser-known bots from other companies.
"Our approach is a stronger emphasis on device — said the technical Director of the mobile division of Samsung In John Rea (InJong Rhee) in an interview with Recode. — And we're going to make a revolution in the field of principles of user interaction with our devices and machines".
Viv Labs reports that the first personal assistant will appear in the Samsung smartphones in the second half of 2017 and after will be integrated and other devices of the Korean company, like tablets, televisions and even household electronics. Technology Viv will translate to a new level ecosystem Samsung devices (the company supplies to the market annually about 500 million devices).
it must be noted that we are talking about the next step Samsung to reduce dependence on Google services: until now, smartphones have relied on the built-in Android assistant Google Now. Previously in the same step, the company introduced its own mobile payment system Samsung Pay, which directly competes with Android Pay. And now Viv can be the answer of Samsung to launch the voice assistant Google Assistant in the new family of Google hardware products.
However, if she can become a worthy replacement of the technology from the search giant? Executive Director of Viv Labs, Dag Kittlaus sure: "Samsung going to become an important player in the software sector and services, especially in the field of artificial intelligence. Samsung Pay has already shown itself as one of the most successful mobile payment platforms in the market and the absorption of the software platform SmartThings to build a smart home also says a lot about the development vector of the company. Recently they have also updated the composition of the heads of a high rank close to new, experienced in the field of software specialists, paving a new course for the company. Soon you will see other signs of serious intent Samsung. And like us, they're going to win."

King Tuff: The Infinite Smiles Tour
Stonefield, Dust Hat
Space Ballroom.
295 Treadwell Street
Hamden, CT, 06514
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
When asked to describe the title track from his new record, Kyle Thomas—aka King Tuff—takes a deep breath. "It's a song about hitting rock bottom," he says. "I didn't even know what I wanted to do anymore, but I still had this urge—this feeling—like there was this possibility of something else I could be doing… and then I just followed that possibility. To me, that's what songwriting, and art in general, is about. You're chasing something, there is something out there calling to you and you're trying to get at it. 'The Other' is basically where songs come from. It's the hidden world. It's the mystery. It's the invisible hand that guides you whenever you make something. It's
the thing I had to rediscover—the sort of voice I had to follow—to bring me back to making music again in a way that felt true and good."
After years of non-stop touring, culminating in a particularly arduous stint in support of 2014's Black Moon Spell, Thomas found himself back in Los Angeles experiencing the flipside of the ultimate rock and roll cliche—that of an exhausted musician suddenly unsure where to go or what to do, held prisoner by a persona that he never meant to create, that bore little resemblance to the worn out person they now saw in the mirror. Thomas was suddenly at odds
with the storied rock and roll misfit mythology that he'd spent the past ten years, four full-length albums, a handful of EPs, and multiple live records, unwittingly bringing to life.
"At that point I had literally been on tour for years," recalls Thomas. "It was exhausting. Physically and mentally. At the end of it I was like, I just can't do this. I'm essentially playing this character of King Tuff, this crazy party monster, and I don't even drink or do drugs. It had become a weird persona, which people seemed to want from me, but it was no longer me. I just felt like it had gotten away from me."
For a time, Thomas involved himself in projects that gave him space from all things King Tuff, and allowed him to, as he says, "go out and play music without having to actually be the boss." Eventually, after being asked to play a handful of solo shows, Thomas began to see a way through to making new music. "I'd never played a show with just an acoustic guitar," he says. "It just seemed like the scariest thing. I knew I wanted to write some new songs that could stand up in that kind of setting, which really opened the door to a new way of working."
"I knew I wanted to record myself on my own time in my own space, so I put together a studio in a room in my house we called the Pine Room. It was like being inside of a wood-paneled spaceship. Suddenly I had all of this new crazy gear that I had no idea how to use in any sort of technical or 'correct' way. I just embraced the beauty of not knowing, which I think is where you get interesting things happening." Thomas self-produced the record, as he did his debut, Was Dead, but on a far grander scale, this time playing every instrument aside from drums and saxophone. He pulled Shawn Everett (War On Drugs, Alabama Shakes) in to assist with the mixing process. "From the moment I started recording, it was like going home, like I had finally found myself again."
The ten tracks that would eventually become The Other represent a kind of psychic evolution for the King Tuff. No less hooky than previous records, the new songs ditch the goofy rock and roll bacchanalia narratives of earlier records in favor of expansive arrangements, a diversity of instrumentation, and lyrics that straddle the fence between painful ruminations and reconnecting with that part of yourself that feels childlike and creative and not corroded by cynicism. The soulful and cosmic new direction is apparent from the album's first moments: introduced by the gentle ringing of a chime, acoustic guitar, and warm organ tones, "The Other" is a narrative of redemption born of creativity. As Thomas sings about being stuck in traffic, directionless, with no particular reason to be alive, he hears the call of "the other," a kind of proverbial siren song that, instead of leading towards destruction, draws the narrator towards a kind of creative rebirth. Elsewhere, tracks like "Thru the Cracks" and "Psycho Star" balance psychedelia with day-glo pop hooks. "The universe is probably an illusion, but isn't it so beautifully bizarre?" he asks on "Psycho Star," providing one of the record's central tenets. At a time when everything in the world feels so deeply spoiled and the concept of making meaning out of the void seems both pointless and impossible, why not try?
"I'm talking about things that I don't necessarily feel good about, that aren't easy," says Thomas, who views the record as a way to push back against that internal voice that so often keeps us from trying new things. "I feel like this relates to a song like 'Birds of Paradise,' which is definitely about trying hold on to that childlike part of yourself that doesn't care what anyone thinks, the endless curiosity and unbounded creativity." It's a sentiment that pops up throughout the record, particularly in the preening funk of "Raindrop Blue," and the ripping "Ultraviolet," tracks that crack open new sonic territory for King Tuff, complete with rainbow keyboards, strutting basslines, hot-buttered bongos, harmonicas, angelic backing vocals, and strikingly danceable grooves. After nine songs that take on everything from creative insecurity, the isolating evils of technology, and the redemptive power of art, the album wraps up with "No Man's Land." The song is a slow-build gospel-tinged stunner that comes complete with harp strums and pillows of space synths for Thomas' beleaguered lyrics ("I'm going down to the forgotten part of town with
roses and rubies in my hands"), which sound both weary and strangely at peace. It's a song about ending up where you need to be, even if you have no idea how you might have arrived there. "It's about attaining The Other," says Thomas."'No Man's Land' is a vision of the afterlife, it's where the journey eventually leads you. It's some other plane of existence that you kind of aspire to. It's ending up inside the dream."
Thomas views the entire experience of writing and recording The Other as a kind of psychic reset. "I let the songs lead me where they wanted to go, instead of trying to push them into a certain zone. King Tuff was always just supposed to be me. When I started doing this as a teenager, it was whatever I wanted it to be. King Tuff was never supposed to be just one thing. It was supposed to be everything."
Their second full-length LP As Above, So Below (2016) firmly established Stonefield as one of the key players in the current wave of Australian psych-rock, but Far From Earth sees the band's sound enter a whole new spectrum. With Black Mountain's Stephen McBean at the production helm, first single and album opener 'Delusion' demonstrates a shift from the hardened psych pop of earlier records toward more prog and heavy metal. The title track 'Far From Earth' extrapolates on this, as a bass drum pulses between blurry synth lines and circular guitar riffs.
'In The Eve' reveals a silkier side to drummer/singer Amy's trademark vocals before launching into a driving and unabashedly hooky chorus. 'Visions' enters with a striding dancefloor-esque rhythm section, the lyrics exposing the album's overarching theme of making sense of yourself in your own mind as well as in the universe/multiverse. 'Together' is a tender moment - "Time goes slowly, moves so gently, when we are as one...lover, lover" - which morphs into a Ravi Shankar-era Beatles sound on 'Broken Stone'. Tenderness is fleeting, however, as 'Through The Storm' propels the listener right back in to Sabbath territory and 'In My Head' continues the dark, sludgy journey. 'Sleepyhead' is a proggy lullaby, with the instrumental closer 'Celestial Spaces' making it damn hard for listeners to come down from this trip through the Stonefield stratosphere.

It is possible to breastfeed your baby after breast augmentation, but there are a lot of factors that go into consideration whilst you breastfeed. The type of implants you choose to have, to the placement and even how your breast augmentation surgery was done can all affect your breastfeeding options.
Firstly, you should always keep your baby's doctor abreast of your decision for breast augmentation, so that they can advise you of any changes you may need to make. As many of the breast implants these days are either saline or silicone, there is no danger posed to your baby while you breastfeed. The saline water can harmlessly mix with the breast milk and many healthcare providers state that there is no harm in breastfeeding after getting silicone implants. However, we strongly recommend checking in with your healthcare provider if you plant to breastfeed your baby after getting breast augmentation.
When performed by an unqualified doctor, breastfeeding problems may arise due to damaged nerves, milk glands and milk ducts. Damaged nerves can lead to less sensation in your nipple area which could affect your milk flow. Implants also could pinch your milk ducts, impeding the milk flow and swelling up your breasts. However, when performed by an experienced doctor like Dr. Pirani, all complications should be minimal.
Certain factors can affect breastfeeding.
There is no sure way of knowing until you try nursing your baby. It is a good sign if you have sensation in your nipples, as that indicates that your nerves or milk ducts weren't damaged during the procedure. This means that you have high chances of having good milk production.
However, if you are not producing enough milk, you may need to supplement with either donor milk or formula. You can also try using a breast pump to stimulate your breasts into producing more milk.
As with anything related to your baby and your body, you should always consult with your healthcare provider and your baby's doctor to keep them apprised of your decision to have breast augmentation and possible issues that may arise post surgery in regards to your baby.

Gunman reverses position, says he did not act alone
Steve Watson
July 25, 2011
After initially stating that he acted alone in carrying out Friday's massacre, Anders Behring Breivik has now suggested in court that two other "cells" of extremists collaborated with him.
During an initial hearing today, which was closed to both the public and the media, Breivik stated that there are "two more cells in our organisation" that will carry out further attacks.
The information was relayed to reporters via a statement from the Judge presiding over the hearing:
The court further finds that the conditions for remanding the accused in custody have been met, as there is an immediate risk that the accused would tamper with evidence if he were now released. Reference has been made to the accused making statements that require further investigation, including a statement about "two more cells in our organisation", and as such the investigations must be carried out without the accused being able to interfere with the investigation or to disturb it.
Penal alternatives to the penal code 168 are not applicable in this case. Remanding in custody for up to eight weeks is a proportional measure. The court finds out of consideration to the investigation, the accused not be given the op[portunity to communicate with others [and so Breivik will be denied access to media and prevented from communicating].
The prosecution has also requested complete isolation, with regard of the loss of evidence. The court finds that the seriousness of the case means that the conditions are met. The isolation has been set at four weeks.
Anders Behring Breivik, born 13 February 1979, will be held by the court not beyond 20 September 2011. He will be held in complete isolation until 22 August 2011. That is the ruling.
As the statement outlines, Breivik will be held in isolation for a month to prevent him from interfering in police investigations into potential accomplices or attempting to communicate with them.
Breivik had requested a public circus show trial in which he also wished to appear in a pre world war one national military uniform.
Breivik's claims that he did indeed have accomplices dovetail with eyewitness reports that at least two killers were involved in the deadly shooting.
The Norwegian VG newspaper has claimed that victims reported shots fired at the summer camp on Utoya island coming from "two different places on the island at the same time."
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
Survivor, Alexander Stavdal said;
"I believe that there were two people who were shooting."
The witnesses described the second man as a 180-centimeter tall, dark-haired man with Nordic appearance with "a pistol in his right hand and a rifle on his back."
An anonymous 16-year old girl told VG paper that the gunmen seemed to be in a hurry, but nevertheless "always made sure that their victims were shot dead."
Further eyewitness accounts described shooting incidents in two different areas on the island, one with a handgun and the other with a 'sniper rifle'.
There is no indication that the alleged second gunman is related to the story of a second man being seized by special forces in an area where victims' relatives had gathered on Sunday.
Norwegian Police have said "there are no concrete reports of a second gunman, although we're not excluding any possibilities".
A further police press conference is scheduled this afternoon to address the claims of accomplices.
As we have also reported today, despite being portrayed by the media as inept due to the length of time it took them to reach the island of Utoeya, it has now emerged that police knew Breivik's identity before they even arrested him, raising yet more questions surrounding the attacks.
According to an interview interview with Breivik's lawyer in the Oslo newspaper Aftenposten, the shooter has said that in 60 years, society will understand why he did what he did.
Steve Watson is the London based writer and editor for Alex Jones' Infowars.net, and Prisonplanet.com. He has a Masters Degree in International Relations from the School of Politics at The University of Nottingham in England.

Ask any venture capitalist across India and eCommerce still pops up as the most lucrative investment category. Growth rate at which eCommerce has emerged in last few years in Indian subcontinent is totally mind boggling, with some even calling it as the biggest pivoting point in the history of Indian retail. Though up until recently, this growth (commerce / transaction per say) was only limited to large screened devices. However at the other end of the horizon, another growth story brewing was of mobile. With pretty much every third Indian owning a smart phone, the numbers are just too mouthwatering for any eCommerce marketer to ignore.
Number of cell phone devices out-shadow desktops by huge difference, add to that – one of the cheapest telecom rates in the world and the tremendous initiatives taken by the incumbent Indian government like digitization of India and promotion of plastic money and what we get is the perfect recipe for a typical mobile consumer.
The biggest benefit of having a mobile app strategy in place is that it's faster and hence provides better shopping experience for the customer. Once installed, there are several things not being download every time user opens up a new product page, thus saving time and data costs.
In comparison with a website, an app gives lesser chance for customer to get distracted. Since the entire frame is owned by you, it is always a tad-bit less likely for the user to open another tab window which is quite usual when a consumer is visiting using a browser.
Better analytics, as a marketer, constantly measuring your performance is of paramount importance. And once a customer installs your app you get way more data about the customer than what you otherwise get for a website visitor. And better data always translates into better sales for the company and better experience for the customer.
Another big hurdle having your own App addresses, is that of customer retention. Keeping the customer coming back again and again is a challenge, and the only few options to make sure your customers repeatedly buy from you is to keep on continuously marketing, be it search, email or social, you are continually spending money. However a customer who has your app installed will always give you the first preference for sheer ease factor. Besides, reaching out to such customers is also very easy. Through push notifications, you instantly grab your customer's attention and that too for free.
In the end, I would certainly like to draw your attention towards what Myntra did, though my entire article is in favor of how Mobile and App strategy certainly makes sense in the current Indian scenario. However I would definitely like to mention how it's not sensible to go only that route. As a brand/company one should never try to dictate terms for a customer, in fact, one should rather try to be present at all possible destinations where a customer is present.
Note from Author : Hello, This is Ayush Agrawal, founder of WeTheChic.in (a private label fashion portal), and through this article my intention was to bring forth few bullet points about why eCommerce on mobile (or eCommerce) is a reality that no longer can be ignored.

Neilson Butchers in Balornock's hand-held steak pies have been judged among the best in Scotland!
The tasty favourites have scooped a coveted Gold Award in the Scottish Craft Butchers Savoury Pastry Products Awards 2018.
The Broomton Road butchers also secured a Silver Award for their Scotch pies.
Delighted owner Ross Neilson, who runs the family business with brother Les, said the awards would give a great boost to the four-strong team and the customers who would see them as an endorsement of the business's high quality produce.
"We are known for good quality traditional products," said Ross, "and we have a tremendously loyal customer base who shop here for the traditional favourites such as bridies, sausage rolls and of course these award-winning pies."
Ross bought over the former Tommy Lawson butchers business in 1988, having apprenticed and worked with the JW Galloway chain in Glasgow.
"My first job was at the Glasgow Meat Market but the early starts meant I kept falling asleep on the bus home and ending up in Gartcosh," laughed Ross. "I guess things had to change and a butcher's life beckoned."
Ross Neilson was one of around 60 butchers from all over Scotland who collectively submitted nearly 300 different handcrafted pies, sausage rolls and bridies which were judged across six categories in one of the industry's most keenly contested awards.
Douglas Scott, Chief Executive of Scottish Craft Butchers, said this year's Savoury Pastry evaluation has seen a record number of entrants, reflecting the growing importance of independent assessment of butchers' pastry products.
"The evaluation drives up standards year after year," he said, "all to the benefit of the customer.
"Identifying the very best is of immense importance since these are the products that pastry enthusiasts will travel big distances to source.
"Awards are not given out lightly," added Douglas. "Every one of the butchers recognised can be rightly proud of their products and their customers can purchase with high expectations of great taste. These awards show customers just what a high standard their local butcher sets."

25 January (Part 2) - Thin timber strips and trips and trams in Abbey Wood
view from the lower end of Knee Hill has changed dramatically.
Two thirds of the old wire fence remains and renovated to some extent but for the other third the former Harrow Inn site has reverted to relying on the old street furniture style barrier. Easily hopped if anyone has a mind to
However it might not be necessary to clamber over the ironmongery for long as the high and insubstantial fence has required bracing and the timber can best be described as flimsy. Some of the fence panels are secured by lumps of concrete too. Mind your toes!
I hope I am wrong but I doubt the Harrow Inn fence version 4 will stand the test of time, but it has certainly opened the view. Not that Abbey Wood currently provides a good one.
If it benefits from the TfL funding around the station perhaps - so not much - and no new Concert & Dance Hall planned! (Enlarge Photo 3.)
Tram Route 40 : Victoria Embankment (Savoy Street) – Westminster Bridge – Kennington – Camberwell – Peckham – New Cross – Greenwich – Woolwich – Plumstead – Abbey Wood.

The Google Fit app for Android has received a pretty big update today, which should already be available in the Play Store. Fit, as you may know, serves as the search giant's integrated health and fitness suite, which can interact with other apps too.
With the new release, Google Fit has received support for estimating distance covered and calories burned. To get this to work, you need to tell it your gender, height, and weight. Then the app will let you know how far you went each day, and how many calories you burned throughout the day and during your workouts.
You do however need to keep in mind that these are estimates, and nothing else, so they may be way off (especially when it comes to calories burned). These aren't the only new features baked into the Google Fit update. You now also get a fitness history view, by scrolling down your timeline. Your activities are grouped by days, weeks, or months.
Finally, Fit now has its very own widget, as well as an Android Wear watch face. Both of these let you see how close you are to your fitness goals with just a quick glance – and supposedly keep you motivated in the process.

5211-2 and a Memaw update
Hoping to start some fun little photo challenges over on the 52 Week Project blog very soon. I'm always needing some new motivation and a challenge is always, well, a Challenge! HA
In other news of my life besides this project that seems to be the only thing I've blogged about in a few weeks {sorry to be so repetitive}, my MIL finally got out of the hospital. (insert cheers) - It's been over 3 weeks and we are truthfully just 'plum' wore out! She is in a local long-term rehab that is in a nursing home. It's not the ideal situation by any means, but we are just praying every day that just being in there will keep her attitude positive and her body and mind motivated to get the heck out of Dodge!
I have such a new perspective of aging - it's really a sad thing in all honesty. BUT, I also don't think we can give up hope at that point either. That is not what God wants. He has a reason for it. My emotions have been from one end of the spectrum to the other on this can you tell?
Thanks for all the prayers for Memaw. We really felt them all and I know that is what got her through the ordeal of being a 91 year old broken-hip-going-through-some-rehab-having-a-heart-attack-plus-pneumonia-heart-cath-complications-afterwords-pseudo-aneurysm-in-both-legs-almost-having-to-have-another-surgery-constipated and incontinent-having woman!
Keep praying for her recuperation and hopefully back home with us soon!

Remember that time is an issue if you are experiencing one or several of the symptoms. The sooner a person seeks medical attention for symptoms of an impending heart attack, the more likely it is that the person will survive. Do not try to tough it out, or wait and hope that the discomfort that you are feeling will go away. There is never any harm in seeing the doctor, and having her tell you that you are fine. However, if you don't see a physician, there is a fairly good chance that the heart attack will kill you. Don't risk it.

So glad to hear Memaw is doing better! We will continue praying out here, as the road to recovery and release from a rehab center is long and slow.
