Simon first described Zuri as a crazy little pup. A little slow and seriously hilarious. When he said "she loves everyone and everything and is so innocent, you can't help but smile when you see her. You will just have to meet her to see what we mean!!", I couldn't wait to meet this dog!
Crazy she definitely was, and Port Melbourne Beach which is one of her favourite places to go was the ideal location for her to run crazy, literally! There was running, splashing and rolling around in the sand and that was just me! Keeping up with with this girl and tracking her around the beach was a definite challenge, but a fun one at that. She was loving running and playing and it was so enjoyable to watch her and be able to capture her in action just being herself and having fun in the process. One of her funny quirks is when playing with her ball she manages to kick it out the back underneath her between her legs and then proceeds to look around not knowing where it had gone. Made us laugh every time.
Simon and Natalie got Zuri from a country breeder, they first saw her online via the trading post and compared to the other cute puppies she looked so stupid, funny and a little loopy that they just had to meet her! They have had Zuri since she was 8 weeks old, now she is almost 2 and is the perfect cuddling companion for Simon and Natalie. Simon says "We just love how outgoing and friendly she is" and now they have some great photographs that illustrate this.

Do NOT Be Alarmed Citizen! Batman Series To Finally Be Released On DVD
In January it was reported that the long awaited release of the original Batman TV series is finally coming to DVD/Blu Ray sometime in 2014.
Batman which originally aired on ABC from 1966-1968, has been wrapped up in licensing, clearance and legal tangles for years and a whole generation knows Batman primarily from the most recent set of movies and DC comic books.
But for anyone who grew up in the 1960's or 1970's, Batman meant the campy TV series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, along with many guest star villains and celebrity cameos.
Presented here on Youtube (until it is ordered taken down by some corporation) is a compilation of all the cameo appearances of celebrities who happened to coincidentally look out the window just when Batman and Robin were climbing up or down a building. They then would proceed to have a bizarre conversation with the dynamic duo. This simple stunt was accomplished by having Adam West and Burt Ward walk on the floor hunched over while the camera was tilted on its side as the celebrity pops out of the floor disguised as a window.
Some of these celebrities like Dick Clark, Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr. are still recognized by younger audiences today, but many are forgotten such as Suzy Knickerbocker. Take a look for yourself.
The celebrity cameos are in order of appearance on the video:
1. Jerry Lewis

On sale from Thursday 27th October, our first two beers in can are both highly hopped pale ales, one strong and one session strength:
IPA - our 7% American-style India Pale Ale hopped with a powerful blend of American and New Zealand hops.
Iti - a 3.5% Session New Zealand Pale Ale, brewed with, you guessed it, several varieties of hops from New Zealand.
Both beers have been chill conditioned and canned unfiltered & unpasteurised for maximum flavour.
Get them first at The Beer Hall, online and at Craft Beer Calling (27th-29th October in Newcastle). From Monday 31st October they'll be available further afield, check your local bar or bottle shop.
18 October 2016
We won four Golds, a Silver and a Bronze at the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) North West Region Beer Competition last week.
Tonka beat 81 other small pack (bottle and can) beers to be declared overall champion. Windermere Pale scooped the overall Silver medal, both beers having won gold medals in their respective categories (Speciality and Standard Bitters & Pale Ales).
Lakeland Lager also won Gold in Bottle Premium Lager & Pilsners and IPA Bronze in Premium Strong Beers.
260 beers from 50 breweries were blind tasted at the annual competition held at the Macron Stadium, Bolton. Beers are tasted in several rounds and are judged by a panel of approximately 100 independent craft brewers, beer industry representatives and experienced beer drinkers.
"It's been a busy year and to come away with these awards is brilliant, I'm particularly pleased that Tonka not only won its category, but took overall champion" said Head Brewer Matt, "Tonka and Windermere Pale couldn't be more different and we're delighted the judges appreciated both the complex, dark, rich flavours of Tonka and those of Windermere Pale –a low strength hoppy pale ale".
Tonka, Windermere Pale and Lakeland Lager will now all be entered into the SIBA National Finals which take place at BeerX in Sheffield (16-19th March 2017).
13 October 2016
Head Brewer Matt successfully defended his under 90 kilo title at the British Masters Judo Championships at Edinburgh on Saturday 8th October.
Matt, watched on by his family (including his parents who were visiting from New Zealand), fought his way through rounds to reach the final, claiming victory over his opponent and winning the gold medal.
It might be hard to believe but Matt's first love was judo, rather than beer… he began taking lessons at the age of eight in his native home-town Wanganui in New Zealand.
"I won it last year as well so I was defending it. I'm quite pleased with it in terms of holding down a job and still being able to train so it's a big achievement" said Matt.
04 October 2016

New pump badges for Windermere Pale, Bitter, Red, Lakeland Gold and Brodie's Prime are coming out to pubs now.
Our logo has also been re-drawn.

A little fabric can go a long way. In fact, during my new Sewing With Nancy mini-series, my guest Amy Barickman and I give you great reasons to keep even small pieces of fabric, because they are ideal candidates to create stunning fabric flowers.
This week, Fabric Flowers part one is the featured Sewing With Nancy online video. You can watch the entire program online, or of course, on your local PBS station. (Schedules and topics vary with each PBS station.) During this first episode, you'll see five great fabric flower options that really can be stitched in short order, plus they look dynamic!
Five Great Fabric Flowers—Make One This Evening!
Click here to watch online. Then, let me know which is your favorite option!
Passion Poppy
Wool felt is the base for the Passion Poppy with highlights of roving added. It's a striking adornment that's easy to create.
Select a small piece of felt, we used wool felt, and add the roving highlights. On TV we show how to use Baby Lock's Embellisher, or choose Clover's Needle Felting Tools. This fabric flower accessory is a show stopper!
Rounded Rosettes
Roses, nothing but roses—that's what this next fabric flower technique is all about. Amy's rounded rosettes are equally as charming as the botanical kind with the advantage of extended longevity! Learn another felting technique, and you too can create a single rose or bouquet of roses.
Pretty Petals
Take your felting venture one step further by creating individual petals and dimensional petals! Our Pretty Petal accessory combines texture, fibers, dimension, and shaping for a dramatic accessory.
I know you'll enjoy the process of stacking the petals after adding touches of roving. No two fabric flowers will look the same!
Bias Blooms
Mix and match cotton prints to create your own variety of Bias Blooms. No degree in horticulture is needed, just an eye for color and a little sewing savvy!
There are three elements to this fabric flower. Amy gives the pattern details in her new book.
Budding Yo-Yos
Fabric Yo-Yos were the inspiration for Amy's Budding Yo-Yo accessory. Smidgens of silk, cotton, and wool turn into dimensional circles that are stacked and embellished. It's a classic look from a homespun origin.
There are 52 programs to watch online, on PBS or on your iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone.
All the details are in one easy-to-follow book!
During the 2-part series, Amy and I only had time to feature 10 easy-to-make flower blooms. In her book, Indygo Junction's Fabric Flowers, you'll find 25 options!
Do you have a favorite?
You've just seen a preview of the first episode of Fabric Flowers. Let me know which design or process is your favorite? Please post below. Next week you'll have five more fabric flower options! (You can vote this week and next week!) We'll post the random winner on October 18. Amy Barickman has graciously offered to send a copy of Indygo Junction's Fabric Flowers to the winner. Stay tuned!
Bye for now,

After the notorious collaboration with H&M, the name of the designer Alexander Wang did not get away from the pages of fashion publications for quite a while. Due to the fact, for example, that after that, Wang has created a collection of unusual furniture, and also launched a denim line that attracted the attention with a provocative advertising campaign. Today we see a new collection of Alexander Wang accessories – roomy, but very compact handbags.
It is interesting that a few days before the official presentation, the designer teased his Instagram subscribers with pregnancy test and ultrasound photos. Everything was done not by accident, because the mini-bags advertising campaign is a "snap shots from the hospital," where these extremely charming accessories are placed in children's transparent boxes, just like real babies.
For this release, Wang has created a small copy of his bags Rocki, Diego, Skeletal Emile and Marti backpack. All are available in five colors – beige, dusty pink, white, gray and black (except for Diego, that is also presented in the shade of electric blue). Each of the bags can be already purchased in Alexander Wang boutiques or by making an online order.

Most reviewers rave about Joyce Carol Oates' latest collection of stories, many of which are about recent widows who find themselves completely unprepared for the hostility of the world from which their husbands protected them. Coleen Marlo reads the unabridged audiobook with subtlety and energy, and there's no denying the power of these stories. Yet let me say how much I loathed nearly every minute of the 14 hours and 20 minutes it took to listen to this audiobook (the hardcopy is 384 pages), even as I admired its ability to so powerfully provoke emotion. Her women characters are nearly all naive, vulnerable and devoted wives. Her male characters are mostly troubled wolves, hateful and uncaring. The men hurt the women, and the narrators look on coldly. They may be interpreted as feminist, misogynist, or simply as Gothic drama and suspense. Maybe other readers will feel a greater sense of identification with Oates' women, but I don't see how that would work, since these central characters not only lack any control over their lives, but hardly control their own bodies. Yet these are highly educated women who hold positions of social privilege and power. On Oates's portrayal, it's hard to see how they are anything but foolish and pathetic.

Prince George's County officials have agreed to contribute an additional $20 million toward Purple Line construction costs, a source familiar with the long-running negotiations said Thursday.
Prince George's County will dedicate $120 million in bond financing to the project, plus a $10 million land credit. The county had previously pledged $100 million.
The 16-mile light rail project connecting Prince George's and Montgomery counties is expected to cost more than $2.4 billion.
County Budget and Finance Director Tom Himler previously told News4 the county would issue bonds to cover Purple Line costs, even if it means going into future debt.
"We're getting close to our debt capacity and that's one of the things, moving forward, we're going to have to address," he said.

Are you wondering how to edit an essay? You are not the only one who is asking this question as students from all levels are wondering the same thing. Doing an essay review is not easy because it means that you will have to remove or even revise sentences or paragraphs of your paper that you have worked hard on. Some may think that their paper is already good enough for their professor because they don't want to change a single thing. This won't help them in delivering a well written paper in the long run.
Tips on How to Edit an Essay
- Start small – Focus on a single point when editing papers such as misspelled words then move on to punctuation marks and so on.
- Review the tenses – Keep grammar rules in your mind while you check your essay for wrong tenses and sentence structure.
- Read your paper aloud – It helps to read your paper out loud so you can hear if your sentences sound right or forced.
- Get feedback – Ask your friends or relatives to read your essay and ask for their feedback.
- Hire an expert – If you are not comfortable in editing your own paper, it would be better to hire another to do it for you.

Are the threats of today's travel starkly different from those that existed 20, 30, or 50 years ago? Do we live in a new world?
I think the answer is an unequivocal…yes.
I still remember my first airline flight as an adult. It was 40 years ago. We checked baggage and I walked to the terminal with my girlfriend. No searches. No boarding pass required to get to the gate. No bomb residue tests at the gate.
The good ol' days. Bye-bye to those days forever I am afraid. I do not like it, but, it is what it is.
Today is the day of shoe bombers, car bombers, and box cutters. The threat has landed on American soil and we have lost our innocence.
So, this lover of the constitution; this guy who believes we must guard our freedoms doggedly; has caved. Being searched and having my bags searched is an inconvenience and an invasion. Having myself searched is an outrage. Being put through a full-body scanner is, well, annoying and, I suppose, somewhat worrisome.
Sorry to all my constitution loving friends, I think the current regulations are necessary in the interest of the safest possible traveling. I do not have to love it to understand the need for it.
Did the framers of the constitution see this happening? In some respects they probably imagined the concept, although not the specifics.
So, it is with mixed feelings that I read about Robert Dean's attempt at a temporary injunction, filed in the US District Court for Eastern Arkansas, against the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Mr. Dean seeks to suspend the TSA's use of full-body "pat-down" searches and "back-scatter full-body imaging systems." Mr. Dean correctly, in my opinion, asserts that both efforts violate our Fourth Amendment rights under the constitution.
I think the question is: Are we willing to accept these new procedures in this instance, but resist similar efforts in other instances? The real fear, I suggest, is not these specific procedures, but the government gaining a "foothold" in asserting other controls, which violate the constitution. I think allowing this invasion is clearly a slippery slope, but what are the alternatives?
What do you think?

Not contributive to 401(k)
When you graduate from faculty and begin your career path the very last thing you're pondering is retirement, however pretty before long the years can catch up and you'llnotice you are doing not have abundant to indicate for it, thus even though it's bottom, resembling three some, begin contributive early.

A great many people are saying Donald Trump's inauguration concert is going to be the greatest concert the world has ever seen. It's going to have big names, people. Very big names.

It'll be a very classy event. Soft and sensual. So soft. So sensual.
This will be a truly great American event. Frankly, it's going to make all the other inauguration concerts look bad. Let's make music great again. Watch below:

The work with increasing ones own faithfulness process may well feel like some sort of tricky an individual, nevertheless payoffs are generally large. With regard to small business owners that will already have got litigant faithfulness process available, 64% account that will many experts have inexpensive, and therefore the idea would make greater expense as compared to the idea bills to help operate(5). Some sort of well- engineered together with well-implemented site visitor faithfulness process can certainly help get site visitor preservation together with perform repeatedly gross sales. In accordance with the "Loyalty Effect", some sort of 5% improve with site visitor preservation can result in some sort of 25-100% improve with gain for a company(6). The reason is active clients with an appreciation which includes a product are generally better to up-sell together with cross-sell to help; you will find there's connection, some sort of way of measuring rely on now well-known.
In the current increasingly aggressive environment several clients would prefer help an area small company for a substantial stringed, nevertheless options are frequently produced influenced by charge along with the excess benefits clients get with prizes software programs proposed by that substantial restaurants. Better that will small business owners will offer together with converse excess benefits on their clients, better their own sector discuss along with the even more they will get clients together with continue to be aggressive.
If you're a very small business user thinking precisely what must complete? Just how do i get clients together with get active people? Ways to find the money for litigant faithfulness process? You have got to additionally pay close attention to, which are the bills with losing litigant faithfulness process? The amount of clients are As i dropping even to another company launched?

Citadelle Gin
INFORMATION OF INTEREST Citadelle Gin
Distillation in small copper pot stills produces a gin whose texture and wealth of aroma and flavor are unique. Slow distillation enables the distiller to precisely select the heart of the gin, eliminating the heads and tails. In addition, the Charentais pot stills relatively low swan's neck shape favors the concentration of essential oils, which contribute to the gin's refinement and aromatic complexity. Citadelle is the only gin on the market today distilled according to this age-old method.Citadelle gin's unique distillation method produces a spirit with a fine structure that will withstand the judicious addition of juniper and other botanicals. The master distiller selects the botanicals that will complement the freshness of juniper with tart, floral and exotic flavors. A work of high craftsmanship, it allows the flavors and aromas to intermingle in perfect balance. A rich bouquet of aromas and flavors is the hallmark of an exceptional gin.
Although the Citadelle recipe is kept secret, the key ingredients include French juniper and violet root, coriander from Morocco, almond and bittersweet lemon rind from Spain, the peel from juicy Mexican oranges, angelica from North Germany, cardamom (the world's most expensive spice after saffron) from India, cassia bark from Indochina and cinnamon from Sri Lanka, the complex sweetness of Chinese licorice, the peppery flavor of grains of paradise from West Africa, cubeb pepper from Java, Dutch cumin, French savory and star anise, Indian nutmeg, Mediterranean fennel and Italian orris root, prized for its digestive properties and its ability to fix the complex tastes contained in the gin.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a surprise meeting at Panmunjom on the inter-Korean border on Saturday, according to a statement issued by the Blue House.
The meeting is the second between the two leaders, with the first having taken place at the same location on April 27 and resulting in the signing of the Panmunjom Declaration.
Saturday's talks also represent the fourth meeting between a North Korean leader and a South Korean President in history.
"President Moon Jae-in held a second summit meeting with Kim Jong Un, chairman of the State Affairs Commission at Tongilgak in the north of Panmunjom from 3 pm to 5 pm on May 26," the statement, issued by Presidential Senior Secretary for Public Relations Yoon Young-chan, reads.
"The two leaders exchanged their opinions candidly for the implementation of the Panmunjom Declaration of April 27 and the successful hosting of the North-U.S. Summit," it continued. "The results of the talks will be announced by the president at 10 am tomorrow."
Accompanying the South Korean President was National Intelligence Service (NIS) director Suh Hoon, while on the North Korean side Kim Yong Chol, serves vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and director of the United Front Department of the WPK Central Committee, joined Kim Jong Un.
Blue House also confirmed to media that first vice-department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) Kim Yo Jong met the South Korean delegation on the northern part of Panmunjom.
The surprise meeting comes days after U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that he would withdraw from a planned summit with Kim Jong Un, previously set to take place in Singapore on June 12.
A North Korean statement issued in response to the news saw DPRK first vice-minister of Foreign Affairs Kim Kye Gwan say his country remained prepared to hold face-to-face talks "at any time and in any way."
The U.S. President later appeared to dial back on the decision, however, suggesting on Friday that the summit could still take place.
"We are having very productive talks with North Korea about reinstating the Summit which, if it does happen, will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June 12th., and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date," Trump tweeted.
It also comes amid a marked souring of relations between the two Koreas – culminating in mid-May with the DPRK's announcement that it would not engage in talks with South until pending issues between Seoul and Pyongyang were resolved.
In a statement, DPRK official Ri Son Gwon cited the-then ongoing Max Thunder joint ROK-U.S. military drills, as well as a recent press conference by former DPRK diplomat Thae Yong-ho, among the reasons for having withdrawn from talks.
The Blue House on Saturday said that Ri had not been present at the second summit, which saw the two leaders discuss steps for implementing the April 27 Panmunjom Agreement.
That agreement saw the two Koreas agree to, among other things, take steps to end the armistice agreement between the two countries and sign a peace treaty.
The two Koreas also committed to "the common goal" of a nuclear-free peninsula through "complete denuclearization."
North Korea on Thursday claimed to have decommissioned its nuclear testing facility at Punggye-ri, following a controlled demolition witnessed by members of the international press.
In a move the country said would "transparency of the discontinuance of nuclear test(s)," the DPRK said the site, previously used in all six of the North's nuclear tests, was now decommissioned.

With no commissions and monthly fees Vik Booking Certified and independent Hotel Booking Engine and PMS in one extension for Joomla
Vik Booking
The Booking Engine for a CMS that competes with the best ones of the world
VikBooking is a booking extension for Joomla designed specifically for single property accommodation businesses. It perfectly fits all the needs that Hotels, Bed & Breakfast, Hostels, Holiday Houses and Apartments might have. A certified booking system that offers a powerful reservation module with a variety of unique functions.
VikBooking is fully compatible with its complementary extension Vik Channel Manager: a revolutionary channel manager certified by many portals. However, the extension can also be used alone without the channel manager.
VikBooking is a 8 years old software designed by following meticulously all the needs of owners of Hotels, B&B and Apartments. In a world where the accommodation business is strongly affected by online travel agencies, having a powerful booking engine available, makes the difference for any Hotel/B&B/Accommodation.
The extension has been certified by TripAdvisor and it can be configured to work for Hotels with different Room Types as well as Hostels or Apartments renting the whole house. The Configuration page of the program will let you set up the extension according to your type of facility.
If you are looking for a professional and reliable software for your Hotel or your Hotel client, then VikBooking is the right solution.
The main difference between VikBooking and other Joomla extensions is that the software was not designed to create a portal of Hotels of a city or a region but rather to build the website of a Hotel, B&B, Hostel or Apartments belonging to the same owner.
VikBooking does not support multiple Hotels with multiple owners, so it should be used by single properties/companies only. This is not a missing feature but rather something that we chose on purpose to deliver a better product.
Multi-language support (including RTL languages with Gregorian Calendar), Currency Converter (with over 100 currencies supported), SSL support for secure connections and much more.
Bookings and Availability Calendars
- Bookings Export in ICS and CSV formats: all the bookings can be exported with various filters like Status, Date, Check-in etc..
The ICS format is used by any Calendar software like iCalendar, Google Calendar, Yahoo! Calendar any many others.
The CSV files instead are easy to be read with software like Excel, Numbers, OpenOffice, LibreOffice etc..
- Quick Reservations via back-end: registering new bookings manually will take just a few seconds. Thanks to the Quick Reservation form, you can easily create new bookings and assign them "on the fly" to a new or existing customer, with the possibility of setting a custom rate.
- Stop Bookings/Close Rooms: the back-end offers some useful functions for closing the rooms on some dates and to register some bookings received over the phone or simply offline.
Property Management System (PMS) functions
Tools for the receptionistsVik Booking is used by hundreds of properties every day to welcome customers, and to check them in or out. The Dashboard is the perfect tool to easily see an overview of the guests who are arriving, leaving and staying at the hotel.
Guests Check-in made right
Receptionists and managers can set up the system to let the customers place a signature through a multi-device compatible Signature Pad. The Check-in function is fundamental to keep the system up to date, and to store the information of each guest staying at the hotel. At the end of the Check-in process, it is also possible to generate a Check-in Document in PDF format with the customer's signature.
Thanks to the Check-in function, every Registration can be used to generate and export reports for the various Authorities (Police, State etc..) and for private Statistics. These PMS related features will allow you to calculate Revenues, City Taxes, Extra Services purchased, Top Countries and much more. The Reports framework is also extendible to support any kind of local, state and regional jurisdiction.
Rooms and Room-Types Management
Compose the details page of your Rooms by using a short description and a longer HTML description text supporting any kind of Joomla Module. Add the pictures of your Rooms and, optionally, also a Caption text that will be displayed in a slideshow. Your Rooms can also be assigned to different Categories to list them separately in the front-end.
Configure your Rooms to accept a minimum and maximum number of Adults, Children and total People. For those not needing to collect information about the number of Children, it is possible to disable this setting from the Configuration page.
With the Options it is possible to define some extra services for your Rooms such as an Extra Bed or Breakfast.
Add the Characteristics of your rooms for the services included such as TV, Wi-Fi, Pool etc..
For those configuring various Room Types, it is possible to define a number of Units available for that Room and the users will be able to book it up to that limit on the same dates.
Manage your City/Tourist Taxes, Cleaning Fees, Tax Rates and link different Rate Plans/Types of Price to your rooms (Free Cancellation, Not Refundable etc..).
Prices per Night and per Occupancy
The Pricing System of VikBooking was designed to fit any possible pricing model that the property applies. We know what tools and options are offered to the Hotels by portals like Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Airbnb etc... and so we have added the support for any possible pricing model on our software. Our clients find themselves very familiar with the pricing system of VikBooking which is the key for a successful website.
The pricing system will let you manage the rates by Length of Stay (LOS Pricing), by Occupancy (Occupancy Pricing) or Per Day (Per Day Pricing). Additionally, you can apply custom charges to the children depending on their age, either absolute values in your currency or percentage values of the adults tariff.
- Per Day Pricing: this is probably the most used Rate Plan type. Every day of the year will have its own cost. This will let you set different costs on some weekends, week-days, seasons or holidays.
- Prices per Night by Length of Stay: define the exact cost for every number of nights of stay. You can adjust the total cost for the bookings depending on the number of nights booked, like 1 night EUR 80, 2 nights EUR 150.
- Prices per Occupancy: it is possible to adjust the prices per night depending on the number of Adults occupying the room. Properties that would like to give a Double Room to one Adult only for example, can define a charge or a discount for the single occupancy of the room.
- Children's Ages: it is a common problem among Hotels to receive bookings for a Child who is older than the limit they allow. Most of the times this should be considered as an Adult or as a "half-adult".
With VikBooking you can easily avoid this kind of issues and apply a charge depending on the age of the children. Requesting the number of children as well as their age is an optional function that can be disabled.
Any Hotel/Host is familiar with price-changes during some days/seasons of the year and will find this function similar to the Price-Calendar Tool that most portals have like Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, Airbnb etc...
Thanks to the Restrictions in fact, it is possible to prevent an apartment to be booked for example, on the second and third week of the month, leaving it empty or unwanted for the first and fourth week.
This is just one aspect that you can configure with the Restrictions.
Apply the Restrictions to all your Rooms/Houses/Apartments or only to some. With the Dates-Range filter you will be able to create your Restrictions for certain dates only or for entire months.
- Minimum and Maximum Length of Stay: this is what most portals call MinLOS and MaxLOS and it's a function to define the minimum/maximum number of nights that can be booked on certain dates/months of the year.
- Week-Day Arrival and Departure Combinations: it is possible to define on certain dates/months of the year one or two arrival days. This function is very useful for those renting their houses/rooms on weekends or on some festivities.
With this very useful function, it would also be possible to define certain combinations of Arrival-Departure. For example, you can define Friday and Monday as allowed arrival days and choose the combinations Friday-Friday (1 Week), Friday-Monday (Weekend), Monday-Monday but exclude Monday to Friday.
- Closed to Arrival/Departure: the major portals call this function CTA/CTD. You can use it to stop check-ins or check-outs on certain days. Another must-have feature to balance the bookable dates.
Automated SMS/Email Reminders and Invoices Generator - Cron Jobs
- SMS and Email Reminders to inform your customers before, during or after their stay.
- Invoicing system with management functions and an incredible Cron Jobs Scheduler system to let your server execute certain operations repetitively!
Need to remind your customers to pay the remaining balance? The automated Cron Jobs will do it for you!
Would you like to thank your customers after the check-out, maybe to ask to leave a review? Cron Jobs are there also for this!
Don't have the time to generate and send the invoices to your customers? With the Cron Jobs you can schedule such actions in less than 5 minutes!
The very first native Hotel Channel Manager for Joomla!Is your property listed on some OTAs? If so, the Channel Manager may be fundamental for you!
Vik Channel Manager is a complementary (not included in Vik Booking) service that can interface your own Hotel website with online booking channels (Expedia, Booking.com, Instant Booking by Tripadvisor etc) and external meta search services (TripConnect, Trivago Meta Search). Vik Channel Manager allows the communication with the Booking Engine for your website (Vik Booking) as well as the synchronization of Hotel rooms availability, related services and rates.
Useful Links
After the purchase of Vik Booking you will be asked to enter the installation domain and a testing domain to activate a Support License that will give you access to the Answers Area and will let you receive Updates and Patches with no time restriction. You can always change these domains by yourself from your Account Manager.

BlizzCon 2010: Report from the World of Warcraft
While people from around the globe traditionally journey to Anaheim, Calif., to see Mickey Mouse and his gang, more than 20,000 gamers from around the world converged down the street from Disneyland this fall to interact directly with the creative minds of Blizzard Entertainment at BlizzCon 2010.
The Anaheim Convention Center morphed into an interactive playground filled with exclusive swag and merchandise celebrating the game-maker's StarCraft II and the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and Diablo III
Blizzard is having a stellar year to mark its 20th anniversary. The company sold more than 1.8 million copies of StarCraft II worldwide in its first 24 hours of release. Since then, PC gamers have played more than 91 million ranked StarCraft II games on Battle.net. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is expected to compete for PC launch records as the 12 million devoted gamers get a chance to play the expansion pack as of December 7.
Blizzard has four new developer-created StarCraft II multiplayer maps that will be released for free, including StarJeweled, Aiur Chef, Left 2 Die and Blizzard DOTA. At a Starcraft II panel, developers provided a few keys to creating successful maps. Their first priority is to make it fun and intuitive. Secondly, it's important the developers get the map up and running before fine-tuning and polishing it. Lastly, they emphasized that they listen to feedback from gamers.
With StarCraft II out and the wait for Cataclysm almost over, the real buzz at BlizzCon surrounded Diablo III. Fans have been waiting 10 long years for this sequel, and Blizzard announced that the development is more than halfway done.
Diablo III's development team was on hand to unveil the fifth and final playable character class: the Demon Hunter. Jay Wilson, lead designer of the game, says the Demon Hunter was born out of a desire to feature an anti-hero, bounty-hunter figure utilizing ranged weapons, gadgets, traps and shadow magic. In essence, Blizzard has blended the Necromancer with the Ranger, creating a unique character that has the strength of both classes.
Due to the nature of the MMO genre, Blizzard is constantly working on its games -- even after they've been released. That's one reason its community and events like BlizzCon are so important. During a World of Warcraft: Cataclysm panel, Blizzard world designer Alex Afrasiabi and lore master Chris Metzen said that Cataclysm is the largest expansion the developer has ever created. As an example, Wrath of the Lich King offers gamers 1,000 quests. Cataclysm features more than 3,500 quests.
"Cataclysm is a big game -- you can only do so much with an undertaking as large as this expansion," says Afrasiabi. Metzen says that going back and updating the old world was the top priority of this endeavor, as players can now fly through these areas for the first time. But the plan is for the team to go back and update Outland and Northrend to bring the entire world in line.
It seems a developer's job is never done when it comes to online space.

A Closer Look: Angel Smith
Tyler Simpson | Lead Writer
Angel Smith a Top Rank Showcase Orlando invitee and a 6'6" guard out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida is having a spectacular season for Cardinal Gibbons. Smith who is coming back from a concussion and back sprain is still playing at a high level while his team is competing for a spot in the state tournament come this week. Smith and the Cardinal Gibbons team are looking for some revenge against Dillard, who beat them in the district championship game last week. Dillard, the reigning state champions are one of the best teams in the state, as well as Cardinal Gibbons. Smith expects to have a different outcome than the last time they met and said it all falls on executing the game plan. Dillard, who has Florida State commit RaiQuan Gray, will be the main focus of who to stop for Smith and Cardinal Gibbons. Smith spoke in detail with me about how they plan to stop Dillard, contain Gray, his goals for the AAU season and the Orlando event, and even his all-time starting five!
Angel, how's it going?
Everything's going good, about to hit the gym in a few.
Great. How's the season going for you? It's district season, correct?
Yeah, we just lost by two yesterday in the district championship. It has been going good since I came back from an injury, had a great game last night.
Who'd you guys lose to? What type of injury are you coming back from?
Dillard, and a concussion and back sprain.
Tough injuries to come back from, Dillard must be a pretty good team then?
Yeah, they won states last year. We have another shot at them next week though.
Nice. Are they just a super strong team or do they have a player that really stands out?
One standout player, the rest are bigs and role players.
Who's the player?
RaiQuan Gray, committed to Florida State.
Just saw that, so it's normally a pretty good game against Dillard I'm assuming?
Yep, but they are always the favorite to win.
I can see why. When playing Dillard what's your normal thoughts going into the game? How you can get the win and stop Gray? You said they have some bigs too, do you guys have anyone with size to combat that?
My thoughts are usually just to come in and dominate and stay in attack mode, be the leader on the court. Stopping Gray we just have to buy in with our defense and force him to put the ball on the floor. That's our downside and upside, we are a smaller team and have no natural bigs, but we are quicker and faster than them so we try and push the ball every chance we get.
An up tempo team that likes to run in transition can do wonders. Hopefully you guys can get your revenge against them. What AAU team do you play for?
We will and Team Breakdown.
You run on the UAA, correct?
Yes sir.
How do you like the UAA?
It's good, the traveling, great experience, and the facilities we play in are great too.
I just looked at your guys' roster from last season of the UAA, didn't realize you played with Elijah Weaver, Tai Strickland, and Anfernee Simmons. How is it playing with those guys? Elijah and Tai will be at our Orlando event, that will be fun as well.
It's great playing with those guys. They compete every game and in practice we are always pushing each other. This event should be fun!
Yes it should, I'm excited for it. Lots of talent coming in! What are your goals for the event?
I'm a competitor so really just to come in and compete at a high level, play hard, and have fun.
Always a good thing to do. Have you been hearing from any schools?
Yes, a few have been keeping in contact with me.
What schools?
Tennessee, VMI, Georgia Southern, and Stetson. Some others keep in contact with my coach as well.
Awesome. Out of those schools who have contacted you, what has been their message to you before they offer you?
Keep doing what I'm doing, they are coming down to see me play.
Any upcoming trips planned or just waiting on that?
Just waiting on that.
Nothing wrong with that at all. If you could go to any school in the country, where would you go and why?
It's between UCLA and Kentucky. They have put a lot of guys in the league in the last couple of years and I'm a big fan of Calipari. My goal is to go pro one day and I think going there would help out a lot.
Both great schools, especially with Cal's track record of putting kids in the league. Do you have a favorite player to watch both NBA and College?
Yeah, Markelle Fultz and James Harden. My favorite player is Kevin Durant though.
Fultz is unbelievable, wish he wasn't on Washington. Do you try to model your game after them as well?
Yeah, I watch a lot of film on Fultz. How he's always in attack mode and can score at every level, also his creativity and passing.
He's got a real good shot at going number one in the draft. There is some amazing freshman talent this year.
Yup, Malik Monk is a guy I like to watch too. The freshmen are really good this year.
Who's your pick to win it all?
I still got faith in Kentucky but probably Kansas.
No Duke?
I like Duke to get to the Final Four.
What's been the best words of advice you've received regarding basketball or anything in general?
To be successful in life it's going to take a lot of sacrifices and hard work, and I always remember that my mom works hard for me so one day she won't have to work anymore.
So awesome to hear. Last one, if you had to build an all-time starting five, who would it be?
Magic or Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tim Duncan, and Shaq.
Always include AI! Pretty insane starting five right there! Thanks for your time Angel! Can't wait to see you next month in Orlando!
No problem man, appreciate you taking the time to talk!

So my lovely friend Lily got married in Wellington a few weeks ago (15th May 2011 to be exact). Boy was it fun to go down and be part of it!! I was not only chosen to be the maid of honour but also to take pictures as she got ready on the wedding day too. So I was a little nervous as I had ALOT to do! haha. But it all turned out perfectly in the end. It was just so great to see two families come together and have a great time. The emotion felt on the day was soo great. It was awesome to see my friend walk down the aisle in her dress. It was certainly dramatic! And what an entrance she made. It was my privilege and pleasure to be apart of it! Here's just a few of the shots I was able to get :P
So happy for you my friend. :)

February has arrived and we are proud to announce the celebration of National Children's Dental Health Month. The American Dental Association along with the ADA Foundation has selected this month to show our observance of how oral health is important to children as well as adults. This year's theme/slogan is "Choose Tap Water for a Sparkling Smile"!
This slogan also brings up the question: Why choose tap water? Well, tap water contains fluoride. Fluoride is essential for oral health. By simply drinking fluoridated water, everyone regardless of age can benefit from the protective properties of fluoride throughout the day. Water fluoridation can prevent tooth decay by as much as 60% in baby teeth, and by as much as 35% in adult or permanent teeth. Drinking fluoridated water can also prevent tooth decay by about 20% to 40% over a person's lifetime. When a tooth is forming, ingested fluoride is incorporated into the tooth structure, and gives the tooth strength and long-lasting protection. Drinking fluoridated water also increases the concentration of fluoride in saliva. By continually bathing the teeth, the fluoride in the saliva helps the tooth rebuild, or remineralize, its outer surface. The health benefits of water fluoridation include: fewer and less severe cavities, decreased need for fillings and tooth extractions, and reduced pain associated with tooth decay.
Overall, tap water provides us a level of protection for our teeth unlike any other. And yes, it is quite safe to drink. Let's celebrate National Children's Dental Health Month and have a nice cold glass of tap water!

Urbanisation is the defining feature of global population distribution. Until at least 2050, city growth will be concentrated in developing countries and most of that growth will come from migration from rural areas. Many poor, rural migrants will end up in the poorest neighbourhoods of these cities.
Blood bricks: examining the climate change-modern slavery nexus in the Cambodian construction industry
'Climate change and slavery: the perfect storm?' - this was the prescient headline of The Guardian (2013) which called for more international conversation on the links between these urgent threats to environmental and human security. This study forwards this call by examining the inter-linkages between climate change, different axes of structural inequality (e.g. gender, age), and vulnerability to trafficking into modern slavery.

Since the Japanese school year starts in April, graduation ceremonies usually happen around mid-March. There are tearful speeches, young adults dressing up in traditional graduation outfits, and of course only the most heartfelt thanks and gratitude given to teachers, parents, and everyone else in the community.
But not in Okayama City. For the past few years there's been an unofficial tradition of the recent middle school graduates gathering outside Okayama Station and wearing *gasp!* long jackets. And not just that, but they're wearing them in different colors! The horror was so much that police officers were immediately dispatched to keep an eye on all the horrible delinquents.
On March 17, large groups of recent Okayama middle school graduates (high school freshmen in the US) and some alumni gathered outside Okayama Station to celebrate. Since they were wearing the aforementioned long jackets and some of them even dared to color their hair, local residents called the police to keep an eye on the potentially unruly ".
Though it may seem incredibly silly to have several police officers keeping watch on a group of middle school graduates, to be fair the fears were not completely undeserved. A few days earlier a similar group of recent graduates gathered outside Hakata Station in Fukui Prefecture, and one girl was arrested after starting a fight.
But take a look at the kids and decide for yourself. Here are some tweets from brave onlookers who dared to snap pictures of the terror-inducing graduates along with translations of their comments:

Personally, to me it just looks like a bunch of kids having harmless fun on graduation. I think everyone should be thankful the teens didn't partake in certain American graduation traditions, such as getting extremely drunk and driving around in their parents' cars.
What do you think? Was calling the police an overreaction? Are there any graduation traditions where you come from that make this look tame? Let us know in the comments section!

It seems like such a simple answer, but it's what researchers suggested when they presented their data to the the 58th Annual Scientific of the American Headache Society. They have proposed that vitamin supplements might be the secret to preventing and treating migraines.
Vitamin Deficiencies in Migraineurs
To support their theory, researchers drew from nutrient measurements taken from the blood of young adults, teens, and children seeking treatment for headaches. Researchers looked at four key nutrients: vitamin D, riboflavin (vitamin B-2), folate (B-9), and CoQ10, an antioxidant that is vital to cell function.
Researchers found that nutrient deficiencies were common for those with migraines. Deficiencies were found in all four vitamins tested. Low vitamin D was recorded for more than two-thirds of those tested (68%). About 15% of teens had riboflavin levels below the recommended, and 40% were at levels where doctors recommend supplementation. Nearly two-thirds (64%) tested low for folate, and 30% tested below the lower reference limit for CoQ10.
Although these may seem like promising connections, there are many reasons why we wouldn't want to take this research too seriously yet.
Preliminary Research
Most importantly, we have to remember that this study hasn't passed peer review yet. When research has just been presented at a scientific conference, it is really nothing more than an interesting observation. It is assumed the data collection is reasonably reliable, and that some basic analysis has been performed.
However, there are many potential errors that may exist in the research. For example, we don't know in this study whether the low vitamin levels are statistically significant. We're also not sure that researchers didn't select a population that might be expected to have low nutrient levels.
For this reason, we need to wait before we put too much faith in these results.
Deviations Not That Extreme
We also need to remember that although the above levels of nutrient shortage sound significant on their own, they have to be taken into context with the general existence of low nutrient levels in the overall population. Various studies have indicated that the 40% low riboflavin levels cited in this study are likely comparable to the population at large.
And for vitamin D, the levels may be likely below the national average. Some research suggests that up to 77% of Americans have low vitamin D levels, so it shouldn't seem significant that 68% of people with headaches were found to have low vitamin D.
Previous Research Disputes Vitamin Ties
Most importantly, we need to remember that this is not the first time researchers have looked at vitamin levels as a possible cause or contributor to migraines. There's been enough research done on vitamin D for people to conclude that there is no link between the nutrient and migraines. There is little support for other nutrients cited in this stud, as well.
Overall, this leads us to conclude that vitamin deficiency can't be a major contributor to migraines for many people.
One Part of a Complex Puzzle
All of this is not to say that vitamins don't have a role to play in your migraines. In fact, migraines are a complex condition that likely have many contributing factors–possibly including nutrient deficiencies–all of which should be used to try to ease the burden of migraines.
One important contributing cause that many people overlook is temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), which can cause muscle tension and nerve pressure that contribute to the frequency and intensity of migraines. TMJ treatment can help many people who aren't getting good results from their current migraine therapy.

Ohmconnect Gets Customers Involved in Demand-Response
This online-only article is a supplement to the September/October 2015 print edition of Home Energy Magazine.
August 13, 2015
The year 1973 was an important one in the history of energy efficiency. Due to the OPEC oil embargo, heating fuel was scarce and costly. President Nixon asked all Americans to lower their thermostats to 68°F, and homeowners looked for ways to control their energy bills by insulating their homes and adopting a new ethic of conservation. Whether for financial, political, or environmental reasons, waste was out and thrift was in. A memorable cartoon in Time magazine showed Uncle Sam ordering Americans: "I want YOU to lower your thermostat!"

It's been a complicated week for politicians and luxury fashion, on both sides of the Atlantic.
First, François Fillon, the embattled conservative candidate for president of France, currently lagging in third place and charged on Tuesday with embezzlement, was accused by Le Journal du Dimanche of having received "presents" from an unidentified friend in the form of 13,000 euros (about $13,880) in custom suiting from Arnys, the tailor that LVMH acquired in 2012 to merge with Berluti, its men's wear label. Cue multiple headlines along the lines of this one from ledauphine.com: "The very expensive clothes of François Fillon."
Then it transpired that Ivanka Trump's fine jewelry line was no more, having been, depending on how you look at it, either shut down or transformed into Ivanka Trump Fashion Jewelry (i.e., no longer involving precious gems and metals, created with a different licenser, and instead of costing $428 to $47,000, costing $28 to $198).
Both of these developments underscore an unavoidable reality about life in the public eye: With populism on the rise, what politicians and their families wear (or put their name on) increasingly has a dollar, or euro, sign attached. And therein problems may lie. Price sensitivity isn't limited simply to objects on shelves in stores; it now goes with wardrobes, too. Better take it … well, into account.
Ms. Trump apparently did. After all, though the general attitude toward any Trump-related product these days is to treat sales as a referendum on the president and whether people are buying the lines he (and his family) are selling, note that, according to a statement from the brand's president, Abigail Klem, the decision to discontinue the fine jewelry had nothing to do with revenue generation, but rather was made "as part of our company's commitment to offering solution-oriented products at accessible price points." In other words, to make the jewelry consistent with the rest of the brand's positioning.
The question being: Which brand?
Because, according to a company spokeswoman, this decision was actually made back in December. That is, after Ms. Trump had separated her personal social media accounts from her brand's social accounts, but before she had taken a formal leave of absence from the company. Which is interesting. Because segueing away from high-end jewelry doesn't just bring the collection in line with the rest of the Ivanka Trump product portfolio — the clothes and bags and shoes — it brings it in line with what is increasingly emerging as the Ivanka Trump personal portfolio: the issues of child care, working parents and sacrifices made.
Rhodium plate is consistent with her message in a way that diamonds and 24-karat gold would not have been. This was probably first brought home to Ms. Trump during the outcry over her appearance on "60 Minutes" in a $10,800 bracelet from her own line, one her company subsequently marketed (oops). Then there was the social media controversy over her appearance in January in a $4,990 silver Carolina Herrera evening dress just after her father's travel ban on immigrants and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries went into effect.
Mr. Fillon, on the other hand, has something of the opposite problem: His gift suits are consistent with a message; it's just the wrong one.
Mr. Fillon was voted 15th of the 20 best-dressed men in France last year by French GQ, and is known for his penchant for red socks from Gammarelli, the Italian company that also makes socks for the Vatican. So the fact that he would wear very expensive suits is not a surprise. (Besides, Le Corbusier wore Arnys, too; François Mitterrand used to wear its hats.) The problem is that he would get someone else to pay for them, especially when he is in the midst of pushing an austerity plan.
Taken together with current allegations that he enriched family members by employing them in nonexistent jobs, the clothing freebies underscore the perception that he is elitist and corrupt. His response to the revelations — in an interview published on Monday in the newspaper Les Echos, he effectively said "so what?" — did not help. (Arnys had no comment on the situation.)
Meanwhile, Mr. Fillon's closest competitor, the independent candidate Emmanuel Macron, now believed to be the front-runner, is known for wearing suits by Jonas et Cie, a favorite of many local diplomats, which sell for €340 to €380 ($363 to $406). This is a choice he made after formerly wearing custom suits from Lagonda, which retail from €800 to €1,200 ($854 to $1,281), during his earlier career as an investment banker — a canny exchange probably based more on constituency than aesthetics. (Note: He still came in 20th on GQ's best-dressed list.)
Historically, we want our elected officials and their families, especially the families who are most often photographed next to them, to represent their countries as elegantly and admirably as possible, while at the same time representing the electorate as genuinely as possible. And these two imperatives often come into conflict, especially as the factions they serve grow further and further apart.
While this has been an issue in the past (see Nancy Reagan and the scandal of her request for free suits when she was first lady and, at the opposite extreme, the complaints when Rosalynn Carter, during the 1970s recession, recycled her old dresses; also the hoo-ha around Sarah Palin's campaign wardrobe), it has never been quite as microscopically chronicled, as undeniable or as generally accessible as it is today.

Welcome from our Founder
Welcome from our Founder
Welcome to those of you who are visiting our website for the first time. And, welcome back to all of those who have been waiting for our new-look website to be launched. The mothballing of our original website gave us the necessary time and space needed to reconfigure several of our institutional arrangements, funding strategies and mechanisms, and at the same time develop our home-grown learning materials. In the interim, we have secured the legal protection of a range of products built around the concepts of adaptive capacity, collaboration and constellational leadership systems. We have also developed and piloted leadership brands based upon cosmology, together with statistical theory and transformative concepts, namely binary, outlier and Black Doughnut leadership systems respectively.
These products and brands have been carefully constructed to address inter-racial and cultural challenges that thwart attempts to forge a truly unified, dynamic and highly productive leadership core, capable of spanning a variety of organisations, situations or people-centred problems.
Our products and brands have been specifically designed to help citizens build individual, as well as collective, adaptive capacity, self-confidence and mutual respect. They are also meant to encourage citizens to develop greater awareness of the world around them whilst learning to pool resources to help overcome day-to-day obstacles. We have, in essence, uncovered the secrets behind such profound African wisdom encapsulated in such idioms as "if you want to go quick, go alone… if you want to go far, go together".
We are proud to announce that the African Leadership Group has achieved most of its five-year milestones, which included moving into purpose-built offices in the Woodmead Office Park. We encourage you to drop by for a quick chat about the many interesting projects and initiatives we are currently involved in. We are always looking for men and women who share our leadership 'madness'. Each week, we run dialogues and conversations around issues related to leadership and welcome other views and experiences that help us to see certain things differently or better. So, why not come and join us on this journey to build the kind of leadership our country needs.

Lately I haven't been putting much of my larimar jewelry on the web site because it's been going to shows and selling quicker than I can get it onto the internet, but a few days ago, I made some really awesome stuff. I wanted to share two with you, because it shows how I design for a very diverse market.
First, a very casual, simple bracelet, made with larimar and Australian boulder opal.
Usually, the larimar bracelets that are on the market now are stones bezel-set in sterling silver, and while they're lovely, they're just a different look. I like how this turned out, with the dark brown acting as a great frame for the blue of the larimar. And the tassle is pretty cool, too!
On the other end of the spectrum is this lush, unique charm bracelet.
SO happy with this one. I used handmade polymer clay roses, lots of small cultured pearls, a healthy handful of larimar ovals, and Swarovski crystal. It's not exactly what I had in my head when I started making it, but I am quite pleased with the end result!
Larimar is one of those stones that will all to soon be out of existance. It's in an extremely limited area, in only one country, and the conditions of the earth that created it can't be exactly duplicated. So if you've been loving this stone for a while, start collecting it while you can!
