I reckon The Matrix movie originally had 3 pills – there was one that presented the whole truth but they got rid of it because it looked too big to swallow.
Even before that movie I've felt that I didn't fit into the "conventional" world and it's been a constant internal struggle over whether there is more to life. The irony of it all is that even though the I see proof that our human existence is based on misinterpretation and lies, I am hesitant to step outside of the conventional world. It is scary to take that seemingly big step to a life without fear, especially when fear has dominated my whole life.
Enlightenment seems to be the goal for many. I'm told it is a most beautiful state and the pinnacle of our original design. Yet now I am finding it is finite in its totality and only a stepping stone to our greatest potential. A potential that not many know about or even wish to partake of as it will require learning how to relinquish control.
It involves trusting something outside of ourselves and to trust someone who knows us better than anyone else! The only one who knows the whole truth; the one that most of us have no desire to strike up a relationship with or even ask to be shown that truth. It seems much easier to do it the hard way and to accept truth and knowledge that's readily accepted rather than to find it for ourselves.
For three years I have been sifting through the information and playing it safe while avoiding the one thing I hoped for the most – to let go of fear! So today I make the choice to finally act. I'm stepping through the open gate of the cramped narrow winding path ahead of me.
So I ask, if you believe you are on the narrow path yet when you look around and notice thousands or possibly millions are there with you or have already passed that way before – then stop and think about it – are you truly on the "road less travelled?"

text: 6 Reasons to Participate in Eventex Awards Here are, in no particular order, 6 reasons why you want to participate in Eventex Awards: 1. Bragging rights In the world of events you don't get extra points for playing it modest. It's all about who threw the most creative event, came up with the top innovation, whose campaign reached more people, which app offered the most features, etc. Winning an Eventex award takes you right where you want to be and gives you the bragging rights that come with being officially declared as the best in your field. It's your "I'm #1" hat! 2. Credibility An award makes your company stand out from the competition and has the potential to convince customers and partners of your trustworthiness. On top of the social trust element, it's important to point out that people will always prefer to work with winners. Which can do wonders for your business, obviously! 3. Makes for excellent publicity Winning an award is always excellent news and brings a lot of positive attention and extra publicity. Even making it on the list of finalists in a category will generate buzz about what you do… and how well you do it. You don't want to ignore such opportunities because every little bit helps. And because your competition isn't sitting idly either. 4. Receive recognition An award is always given in recognition of some exceptional achievement. Whether you've managed to produce an amazing event experience or a genuinely innovative meeting, the more people are familiar with your outstanding work the better. Eventex Awards will be streamed to a big international audience via Facebook Live and YouTube, so you can get the recognition your work deserves. 5. Boosts profits It all comes down to this – sales growth! Whether you're hands down the biggest player in the industry or a small event agency, your ultimate aim is to grow your business. That's where Eventex Awards helps the most. Just like an Oscar nominee is usually able to negotiate better contracts after getting nominated, so does an agency that's a global event award finalist. 6. Get special prices for BEIC members For BEIC members and friends there is special promo code you can use to get -10% discount. Promo code is "beicmembers". Register before 31 July 2017 and pay only €234 with your promo code per entry instead of €450. Fill out and submit your entries whenever you have the time before November 15.

Prepare for yuri and make it βeta?
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! SNH48 accomplishing what the Mothership could not?!! An actual honest to God yuri TV series?!! Get out of here!
No, seriously, get out of here! For that is impossible, well so far any way because I have to ask you to not let the caps get the best of you! Just think of them as a bunch of lies for now because that might actually be what it is!
So anyway, this has been on my radar for a while now but there is a reason why I had not mentioned it until now. A very good reason for you see, there is a Male lead in there! Yep, you read that right! There's a male lead and MinMin is all over him like he's the best thing since Prince Charming…Oh wait!
Yeah, pretty bad news. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if there is a frikkin love triangle between her, Dick and Savoki! But if the behind the scenes video I have watched has any credibility, the triangle might actually be something the un-expected in that instead of it revolving around Dick, it's a bit more snake eating its tail kind of triangle…Oh I guess that makes it a Love Circle then?
What I mean is that from what the behind the scenes video has let me to believe, MinMin's character lusts after Dick while this lust blinds her from Savoki's character's affection. Savoki seems kinds of increasingly depressed but we never get to see her with Dick except when MinMin is also present. And then there's that kiss!
Yes, it does seem like a comical thing but then I paid more attention to the last moments of it and I saw their SRS business faces which means it is an actual scene. And it's on a roof top! We all know rooftops are the place for yurilicious making out between schoolgirls! So there might be something in here for us plebians forks!
Though I will enjoy it for what is is if it indeed is real, I still can't help but see the AtsuYuko/SayaMilky when I see these two! Oh come please don't play with me. You know what I mean! Still playing dumb? Well then how about this…
I was really tempted to make a meme about something after seeing Savoki's right hand in the first cap but I didn't want to be that cruel ^^ Besides, I trust XiaoAi to take care of things herself…
Heh! ^^
That's right, I am still resistant to the brain-washing of forcing me to ship fake couples, nyahaha!
Savoki/XiaoAi FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I think they just broke the record of longest hand-holding like, EVAR! They did not let go for anything until the very last sec when they had to clap and bow goodbye (stupid humanity etiquettes!)
Any way, some more caps from the Behind the Scene Vid (That is on youtube BTW).

An astronaut was talking on a podcast and he told an interesting story.
One day he was up there on the space station, looking down at the beautiful planet.
The next day he was down on Earth and staying in a hotel. The first thing he did when he entered his room was turn on the TV and tune in to cable news.
And the just-landed spaceman said: Is this what people think is important? Is this what they are focusing on?
Which got me thinking two things.
First: Yes, he's right of course. In the grand scheme of things, our everyday concerns – the 24-hour news cycle – are pretty trivial.
Second: It's easy for him to think this stuff. He's a freakin' astronaut, for goodness sake! While he was up there 250 miles above the Earth, the rest of us were down in gravity-land with our broken plumbing, screaming kids, rude boss, terrible traffic and the rest of it.
Gaining perspective – a higher altitude on our everyday lives – is a critical component in feeling better about stuff.
When we can zoom out and see things as a whole, we stop getting mired in the crazy-making details.
That's powerful.
To do that, we follow the Feel Better Project process.
We stop and pause so we notice our thoughts. We allow those thoughts to be there – we don't fight them. And then we reach into our toolkit for something that feels just that little bit better.
One of those feel-better tools is zooming out and getting perspective.
It's asking: Is this really that important? Is it worth focusing on?
So… see what you can do to gain a bit of altitude.
Even if it's the equivalent of merely standing on a chair.

Thomas A. O'Shaughnessy
Thomas O'Shaughnessy (1870-1956), listed as an associate member of the P&C in the 1906 member's roster, was a Chicago Daily News staff artist. Shown above in a photo from 1914, O'Shaughnessy also lectured on Roman art in the P&C's early twentieth-century lecture series.
Because of O'Shaughnessy's position with the Daily News, one might expect him to be well represented in the Chicago Daily News photo archive. One would be right. The photo archive contains a number of photos of him and his paintings. (He was also known as "Gus O'Shaughnessy," apparently because his middle name was Augustus.)
But O'Shaughnessy will be remembered in Chicago for his design, execution and installation of fifteen stained glass windows at Old St. Patrick's Church at Des Plaines and Adams on the near west side. According to the St. Patrick's website: "Inspired by the Celtic art exhibit at the Columbian Expostition of 1893 and the Book of Kells in Ireland, Thomas A. O'Shaughnessy designed, constructed, and personally installed the fifteen beautiful stained-glass windows of Old St. Patrick's between 1912 and 1922." The windows include a triptych done in the art nouveau style. O'Shaughnessy's windows are also given an exuberant review by the Encyclopedia of Chicago History:
thanks to the genius of artist Thomas A. O'Shaughnessy, St. Patrick's was transformed, between 1912 and 1922, into the best-known example of Celtic Revival Art in America. Drawing inspiration from the ninth-century illuminated manuscript known as the Book of Kells, O'Shaughnessy created luminescent stained-glass windows and interlace stencils. Restored to their original beauty in 1996, O'Shaughnessy's designs continue to challenge conventional notions of Irish identity and sacred space.Those windows would be worth a field trip to check out, wouldn't they?

Manchester United lose their second game this season yesterday as dem play Chelsea and plenty people dey wonder wetin dey happen to United against big teams.
Before the Chelsea game, fans been dey expect us to win Chelsea the way we manage win against Tottenham but things no happen like that as Morata score to give Chelsea all three points.
Since Pogba and Fellaini go injury, we dey struggle to win teams away, una remember say na four golas wey we bin dey score teams but things don change, we don cast and some players no dey help matters at all.
That Chelsea game, e clear say we no dey fully organized. Ashley Young no impress me at all, the guy fit perform against small teams and knack better performance sometimes but yesterday show us say the guy no be real wing back and we no fit dwell or hope on the guy. Ashley Young misplace plenty passes yesterday, sometimes e no dey track back at all, mistake e make yesterday go full basket. I no know whether na because of that match or we need to try Daley Blind for that position too.
Henrikh Mkitaryan gats step up too, after the five assists e knack when season start, baba form don fall like Naira. Yesterday, Mkhitaryan dey run everywhere like say dem use quality jazz hold am, the guy no add anything to the game at all, I come dey wonder if hin be the same person wey start this season. No be only yesterday match sef, the guy last 5 games na dust e play. But i happy say Fellaini don come back, make e bench the guy, e don play rubbish too much.
Phil Jones mistake yesterday na hin make Morata score, the guy leave Jones comot go midfield area. We see say Mourinho vex well well, na hin make am remove Jones shaparly to show am say wetin e play no make sense at all. I dey feel say e go dey war them wella, Rojo don show and if anybody make mistake, e go sitdon for bench.
Why Lukaku never score sef? Wetin dey happen?
Lukaku still dey hin goal drought, baba never score since oh and people don dey worry sef. People say e no fit score against big teams, others dey say na Pogba dey help am score. The thing be say Pogba na very important player for that midfield, e dey drag plenty players to himself before e distribute ball to free players who go come create for Lukaku (that na if no be hin create am by himself).
Lukaku no be complete striker wey people dey think, before we buy am, i know the type of player hin be. If you no create for Lukaku, e no go score. Lukaku no be player wey dey rescue team when una play rubbish, everybody gats play well for him to shine, na that the kind of player e be.
Fellaini don come back yesterday, e fit drag all the attention for Midfield to create space for our attackers, make we dey say, e sure me say Lukaku go score in the next two games. Plenty better things go happen this season, some never happen. I never give up, make we support the team and things go better.
Manchester United for Life!!!

|Greater Fiend
|Greater Fiend of the Netherworld, Guardian of Vigoor Emperor
|English Voice:
|Fred Tatasciore (NGS2)
|Japanese Voice:
|Yukitoshi Hori
|Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
Marbus, (マルバス重鬼卿;Marbus Jyu Ki Kyoh) Greater Fiend of Hell and one of the Five Greater Fiend Lords of Vigoor is seen in Ninja Gaiden, and returns in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
Ninja GaidenEdit
Marbus is the Greater Fiend of the Underworld, and one of the Five Greater Fiends of the Holy Vigoorian Empire. He is the Greater Fiend who guards the Holy Vigoor Emperor, the mastermind behind the theft of the Dark Dragon Blade. As a Greater Fiend, he possesses the power of resurrection, allowing him to call slain Fiends back from the abyss of the Netherworld. He throws everything he has at the young Dragon Ninja, and when all else fails, he challenges him personally. Despite the fact that he was a Greater Fiend, he was still defeated.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2Edit
Marbus returns from the depths of Hell, having lost a horn in his last fight with Ryu, he has taken over Manhattan to seek revenge because Ryu had defeated him. But his reign is short lived when the Fiend Hunter, Rachel appears and challenges him to a mortal combat. Marbus is defeated, his other horn cut off by Rachel's Inferno Hammer, and is sent back into Hell. Later he finds Ryu Hayabusa, who entered the Underworld to destroy the Archfiend Vazdah. He challenges Ryu again to settle the score, but is defeated permanently. As he cries out in pain, he falls to the ground, his face and body solidifying and crumbling.
- Flight: Marbus spends most of the time flying in battle.
- Energy Blasts: Marbus is able to shoot with Dark Energy at Ryu.
- Charge Moves: Marbus has several Charge Moves he uses to get to the ground in a painful way if anyone comes in contact with him. While charging one of these moves, he absorbs all the essence around him.
- Shadow Fiend Summon: He is able to summon shadow fiends at will.
- "My servants, rise from the Underworld, and take care of this puny insect once and for all!" - Marbus talking to Hydracubus (Nicchae in NGB) about finishing off Ryu in Ninja Gaiden.
- "Are you searching for the Dragon Ninja as well? Somehow, I suspect we have different reasons for seeking him out." Marbus talking to Rachel about finding Ryu in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
- "Dragon Ninja, I never thought you would enter this place of your own free will! I will not let this perfect opportunity at revenge slip through my fingers!" - Marbus moments before his permanent defeat at the hands of Ryu in Hell. (Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2)
- "Ha! You believe that you, a fragile little doll can take on a Greater Fiend? Hmmm...very well. Show me what you can do!" - Also talking to Rachel right before their fight in Sigma 2.
- Marbus' Japanese voice actor, Yukitoshi Hori, is the brother of Ryu Hayabusa's voice actor Hideyuki Hori
- He is one of the Five Greater Fiends of the Holy Vigoorian Empire along with Doku, Ishtaros, Nicchae, and Alma.
- As the Greater Fiend of the Underworld, he possesses the power of resurrection as seen by his resurrection of Hydracubus.
- He rules over the feared Fiend Realm and is the personal protector of Vigoor.
- He also rules over his own tribe of fiends.
- He is one of the bosses who have been added in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and were not in Ninja Gaiden II.
- His look and voice have changed significantly in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.
- Marbus reappears in Ninja Gaiden 3 as a boss for some Ninja Trials from the Mentor Difficulty and above. Here, as usual, he's accompanied by his Flare Shadow Fiends.
- In Razor's Edge, he appears as a boss for the Test of Valor in Day 4.

Reese Woven Top
The Reese Woven Top
The softest, comfiest top you will ever own. It's slightly open neckline shows just the right amount of skin for a flattering neckline. Made from a heavier weight, handwoven cotton. It's just the right amount of warmth in the chilly mornings and cool evenings and transitional months from winter to spring.
We worked with talented local weaver to design the perfect fabric for the woven Reese top and dress. We decided on a slightly heavier weight cotton in a herringbone for the perfect coziness and softest hand. After selecting the fiber, colors, and pattern it is looped by hand, one thread at a time. Woven with a subtle herringbone pattern, this cotton fabric is incredibly soft and not too much drape for a better fitting shape. This fabric is beyond comfortable, and you may never want to take it off!

Strategy (summary) 2017-2019 As digital technologies saturate every aspect of our lives, becoming invisible in our environments and facilitating so many of our interactions, they create great opportunities, but they also pose new problems and challenges that need to be understood and navigated by citizens. In our quantified society, data is being collected and utilised at unprecedented rates by governments and corporations and amongst individuals, and this has the potential to impact autonomy, political agency and power. Technologies enabled by machine learning and algorithms, for example, change the dynamics of our individual autonomy as users and citizens; pervasive data collection and invasive technologies can contribute to a shrinking civil society space and can have a chilling effect on activists, protesters and groups; and the shoring up and mining of valuable data by a few entities is beginning to magnify imbalances of power.
Technologies always reflect the societies and contexts they are utilised within. For this reason, these changes constitute not a technological problem, but a socio-political challenge. The current debates and strategies around 'privacy' and 'security' may address some facets of the issue, but we need to understand it from the broader perspective of human rights and civil liberties. Much like the environmental movement of the '80s and '90s, today's digital environment presents an agenda-setting moment that calls for a ground-up, practical strategy that complements the important research and policy work that is already underway yet may take some time to be effective. Moreover, changes in technology and uses of data require actions at the level of civil society and engaged citizens, in order to create a broader shift in public opinion, changes in consumer behaviour and an informed response from civil society.
Tactical Tech will implement a ground-up strategy to inform and empower engaged citizens, activists and civil society groups about the impact of technology on human rights, civil liberties, and fundamental freedoms, and the actions they can take in their own lives to affect change. Our work seeks to provide answers to our audiences' most common question: 'What can we do?' Building on 15 years of experience, Tactical Tech's strategy educates and enables politically motivated citizens and activists worldwide to initiate actionable changes into their day-to-day work. These are practical solutions that can be easily shared and embedded within communities to create widespread networks of change on a global scale.

How Can Type-1 Diabetes Be Treated and Prevented?
Juvenile diabetes or more familiar called as type-1 diabetes is a kind of insulin-dependent diabetes. Most patients have and get it for a lifelong condition (chronic condition). In people with this disease, the production of insulin (a kind of hormone that is crucial to help glucose in the bloodstream to enter into the cells of the body) is no longer to be produced optimally. Even some patients don't have any insulin in their pancreas. Can this disease be prevented? How can it be treated? What else you need to know?
The number of patients with type-1 is much fewer than the number of type-2 diabetes. But fortunately, type-1 is slightly easier to be understood than type-2.
Moreover although doctors often say that there may be no cure for type-1, but most patients can cope with the disease and they also can expect to have healthier lives & live longer with the appropriate treatment – according to Mayo Clinic.
The disease is most often diagnosed in under age of 20 (young adults, adolescents, and children). However it can occur at any age. According to Diabetes dot Org (the American Diabetes Association), about 1 out of every 400 adolescents and children is diagnosed with diabetes – especially for type-1.
If you have a family history of this disease, do you have an increased risk of having the same condition? –Yes, you do! For this case, your risk is higher than others who don't have family history of the disease. But this doesn't mean that you will definitely have or develop the disease later in your life!
Additionally, according to an article published on the National Library of Medicine, type-1 diabetes can run in families or can be passed through families.
Unfortunately, currently it cannot be prevented. But some studies are ongoing to find the clearly answer in preventing it and the exact cause of the disease.
Is there any vaccine to prevent this disease? No, there is still no vaccine for type-1 diabetes. Moreover there is opinion that certain vaccines may have contribution to cause this disease. In fact there also is still no clearly scientific evidence to confirm the link between vaccines and the development of type-1 diabetes. So, children and kids who are at risk of developing diabetes still require taking the recommended immunizations – according to an article published on Health Wise in 2010.
In addition, if you are diagnosed with this disease, you can ask your doctor whether you are eligible to take a clinical trial. But before making decision, don't forget to carefully consider the benefits and risks of your choice – discuss more this issue with your doctor for more advice!
About 90 to 95 percent of all diabetes cases are type-2, and the rest (about 5 to 10 percent) is type-1. The following are major checklists for the differences of both conditions:
Generally patients are diagnosed with type-1 have a total lack of insulin – in other words, the pancreas of patient doesn't produce any insulin.
Experts believe that the autoimmune disorder is the most responsible. Without known reason, the body immune system fights insulin or inhibit the production of insulin in the pancreas. If there is no insulin, cells of the body lose their ability to absorb glucose (sugar) taken from foods. As a result, the production of energy will be affected and there will be more sugar /glucose in the blood (the level of blood sugar can increase drastically).
Typically, the symptoms of the disease start in young adulthood or even in childhood. Patients often seek help (medical help) since they are seriously ill from drastically increased blood sugar that can occur suddenly.
Moreover, patients are also more likely to experience more episodes of hypoglycemia (low level of blood sugar). And as mentioned before, there is still no clearly answer about the effective ways to prevent type-1 diabetes! In other words, doctors often say that it cannot be prevented.
Generally patients with this kind of diabetes still have some insulin or their pancreas still works in producing insulin but the production of insulin is not enough to meet the body needs. Furthermore, the body of patient also often cannot use insulin optimally and effectively. These reasons can cause a condition called insulin resistance.
While type-1 is more common in the age of before 20, type-2 often affects adults – but today there is increasing number of children who diagnosed with type-2.
Patients with type-2 may not notice any symptom before the diagnosis. And unlike type-1, there is almost no episode of hypoglycemia unless patient is taking certain oral medicines for diabetes or taking insulin.
How about the chance of preventing type-2? The good news, there are some steps that you can do to lower your risk of this disease. Doctors say that it can be delayed or prevented with some healthy habits, such as maintaining your healthy weight, eating healthfully (a well-balanced diet), regular exercise, and so on.
There is always a chance for misdiagnosis. But doctors know exactly about this issue and what they will do before making a diagnosis of this disease. If you experience some type-1 diabetes symptoms, there are several tests that you need to take to find the underline problem.
In other words, there are already available some standard tests (such as A1C test 'Glycated hemoglobin test') to make a diagnosis of type-1 diabetes so thus the chance of misdiagnosis is now much pretty lower. Most of these tests are blood tests that commonly purposed to analyze the fluctuation of your blood sugar levels.
Furthermore, there are also certain tests that purposed to analyze autoantibodies to find the presence of autoimmune disorder – this is one of very crucial steps to determine whether you have type-1 or type-2 diabetes.
The chance of misdiagnosis may be slightly higher if you also have other certain health conditions (such as hemoglobin variant –unusual form of hemoglobin) or if you are being pregnant. If you in doubt with the issue of misdiagnosis, ask your doctor!
In general, the goal of the treatment is purposed to keep the level of your blood sugar as close to normal range as possible in order to prevent /just delay the complications.
Typically, the treatment plan is a lifelong commitment to the following crucial points:
- Monitoring and maintaining the blood sugar level. This is not only important to prevent the recurrence symptoms but also important to prevent complications from diabetes!
- Maintaining your healthy weight. If you are being overweight, it's more difficult to control and manage your blood sugar levels.
- Doing moderate exercise regularly. Getting adequate physical activity a day is important to improve the performance of your body in using insulin. Furthermore exercise is also good for your overall health.
- Staying on a well-balanced diet to eat healthy foods and to spread your carbohydrate intake throughout the day so thus will be helpful to eliminate the risk of increasing blood sugar level – particularly after meals. Ask your dietitian for more advice about best diet for your diabetes!
- Taking insulin! You may need to get some insulin injections – how many times you need them, ask your doctor! In addition, there are several methods to take insulin. It can be administered using an insulin pump (a method that uses a special device worn on the outside of the patient's body), an insulin pen (as the name suggests, it seems like an ink pen and has cartridge that filled with insulin), and with a fine & appropriate needle (the injection method).
- Regularly medical checkups – this is purposed to adjust the treatment if required and to monitor the progress of the disease. These regular checkups sometime may also involve some tests & screening exams to watch and analyze any sign of complications.
- And keep far away from unhealthy habits – such as cigarette smoking and abusing alcohol.
In addition, for children with type-1 diabetes, the goal of treatment is also purposed to allow them to get the normal development and growth.
In line with the treatment plan, doctors may also prescribe some oral medications. The following are some of medications that commonly prescribed by doctors for people with type-1 diabetes:
- If necessary, doctors may prescribe aspirin to be consumed regularly in order to protect heart of patient.
- Medications to control blood pressure! Though even you don't have hypertension, certain drugs to treat high blood pressure may be prescribed by your doctor. They are not helpful to reduce your risk of hypertension but also can help promote good health for your kidneys. Generally, the normal levels of blood pressure in patients with diabetes are around less than 130/80 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury).
- Cholesterol-controlling drugs! There is no sign of elevated cholesterol. In fact people with diabetes are also often linked to the high risk of heart disease. Therefore, it's important for them to control their cholesterol level as well. If you have diabetes, you need to take monitoring the level of your cholesterol regularly – sometime your doctor may also prescribe some medications to help manage or lower your cholesterol.
There are some types of insulin for people with diabetes. In general, they are classified based on how fast they work and the length of duration of their effect lasts.

Photo Alteration/Restoration FAQ's
Q. Can you repair photos that are completely torn into two or more pieces?
A. Yes, just make sure they are all on the scanner together. The preview you see on the
screen when placing your order will not look right but your image will be restored by our artists and put back together again
Q. Can you repair photos that have been underdeveloped or overexposed?
A. Yes, we can fix this.
Q. My photo is sepia, will it be that colour when you have finished with it?

Black & White, Colour or Sepia. Faded colour photos will be restored and brought back to life.
Q. Can you take a black and white photo into colour?
A. Yes this can be done.
Q. How long does it take?
A. We will have your restored photo delivered to you in 7 days.
Q. My photo is oval, will it still be oval when it is restored?
A. Yes, we will preserve the original shape of the image.
Q. My photo is quite blurry; will it be nice and sharp when it comes back?
A. Unfortunately this is one thing that we can not easily fix. When we "sharpen" an image it
can cause it to become quite "grainy". So, if it is blurry to start with it will most likely be blurry
when the damage is repaired. You may wish to try and scan it again at a higher resolution.
Q. I cannot recognise the face of one of the people in the photo, will I be able to see
it when you have finished?
A. It depends on the level of damage. If we can see "through" the damage to the detail then

Q. What happens if I want additional prints?
A. Along with the print you get a CD with your image on it. You can then order additional prints
Q. Part of the photo is missing completely. Can you replace this?
A. If it is not someone's face, then very often we can replace background detail so you
wouldn't know it was ever missing. If you have the piece then make sure it is on the scanner with
the rest of the photo so we capture it properly.
Q. In one of our special photos, some people have their eyes closed. Can you open
their eyes for us?
A. Yes
Q. Is there any age limit for the photo?
A. We have restored photos that were printed on Tin and glass plates as old as 1830. If you
can scan it, we can restore it. If we can't we'll let you know.

The Entrepreneur as Business Leader
Cognitive Leadership in the Firm
Silke Scheer
Chapter 6: Implications and Open Research Questions
Silke Scheer
The central argument of this volume is that the cognitive coherence of the employees with the cognitive leader's business conception is the key to a firm's coordination and motivation. Communication and learning have been identified as the means for achieving this goal in dyadic relationships like that of a cognitive leader and a new employee. Starting from there, the focus of investigation has been widened to also include the dynamics of a newcomer's socialization in an organization or work group. What concepts a newcomer has to learn during her socialization, what motivation she has to do so and how she goes about this task have been described. Conversely, what motivation the incumbent work group has to 'teach' the newcomer and how they help to make the newcomer a full member of the group has been explained. This chapter turns to the implications that can be deduced from this volume with regard to the shaping of dyadic interactions as well as group processes (Section 6.1). In Section 6.2 some open questions are presented that emerge from the reasoning of the present thesis. Section 6.3 summarizes the chapter. 6.1 IMPLICATIONS FROM THE PRESENT WORK This section deals with the implications that can be drawn from the present thesis. The first subsection derives implications for interactions between the cognitive leader and an individual employee. The next subsection presents implications for shaping group processes in a way which is advantageous to the implementation and maintenance of cognitive leadership. Implications for Dyadic Interactions Several implications...

We have the weekend planned and always pack it pretty good!! There is nothing better than spending time with family and those you love! One of my highlights every week is sitting in church with my sweet children. I was thinking about last Sunday while sitting in church, I looked over at my son and he was drawing the most beautiful picture {yes, in church} but it wasn't just an ordinary picture that's why I wanted to share it. His words were, "it's old looking." I agree, its old and beautiful! We never get these moments back so when I say I cherish and make the most of them, that's exactly what I do! Happy weekend everyone!
The Weekend!

Client brief
To create a bright, open plan workplace for Africa Express Line, who were going through an office relocation to West Malling, Kent.
Client Background
Africa Express Line is a registered shipping company that was set up in 2002. AEL operates a fleet of nine reefer vessels, and specialise in the handling and transport of perishable fresh fruit cargoes. Their weekly liner services go to and from Europe / Mediterranean and West Africa.
Office Relocation Design
Following a visit to their existing site in Paddock Wood, we got an idea of the company ethos and the amount of space they were soon to inhabit.
Africa Express Line had occupied the space ten years earlier, and wanted to re-occupy it in a similar fashion. Our office interior designers put forward a 2D and 3D design which depicted a similar layout.
The design included a reception, several meeting rooms, director's office, communications room, open plan office space and a breakout area.
Key features of the office space design for our client was the enlargement of the breakout area, the inclusion of shared desking and a variety of storage solutions.
Our Solution
Given that the building had glass around the perimeter of the building, our client wanted to take advantage of the light. Our office fit out solution was to introduce glass frontages with manifestations in the office and meeting rooms, which also included company signage.
As you come into reception, two glass boxes were installed which allow you to see into the boardroom and open plan office. To establish the AEL company identity, within the glass boxes we included two model ships with downlights shining onto them.
In the breakout area, we implemented a glass door to achieve a more open feel. The contemporary breakout interiors included a Wagamama's style bench, high level seating, two microwaves built in to the cupboards, fridge, and stylish pendant light fittings.
The open plan office area was fitted out with a variety of storage solutions. These included roller racking, low level cabinetry around each desk and a storage wall.
Another important feature of the office fit out was the inclusion of screens. These were positioned around the building so that staff could monitor the ships around the world.
Overall we created a bright, spacious and modern workplace with plenty of storage, ready for our client to move into.
If you're planning an office relocation, then make sure you get in touch with Rap Interiors – one of the South East's leading fit out contractors. With over 25 years of experience, our expertise in relocation management is top notch.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — The highly anticipated end to the off-season is here, as the Country Club of Winter Haven serves as the starting point on the "Road to the LPGA" in 2018, hosting the 10th annual Florida's Natural Charity Classic to open the Symetra Tour season.
A field of 132 players is set and they will compete for a purse size of $125,000 from Friday, March 16 to Sunday, March 18. Of the individuals comprising the field, a total of 27 countries will be represented. In addition, 20 total states boast at least one competitor.
First and second round action at the Florida's Natural Charity Classic gets underway at 8:15 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Following 36 holes of play, the field will be cut to the top 60 players and ties. Then on Sunday, the final round tees off at 8:30 a.m., with a trophy presentation to follow on No. 18 green.
The tournament also marks the first of 21 events in the season-long Race for the Card, where the top-10 players on the money list at the end of the year will earn a LPGA Tour card for 2019.
One of the 27 countries represented is Jersey and its lone individual in the field just so happens to be the reigning Florida's Natural Charity Classic champion, Olivia Jordan-Higgins (St. Helier, Jersey).
Back in 2018 to defend her title, Jordan-Higgins has some fond memories when talking about the Country Club of Winter Haven.
"I felt in control of my game all week," she said. "The second day it was pretty windy and I just remember feeling like it wasn't affecting me, or my shots. Winning the first event of the year was something I had always dreamed about and it's a memory I will remember forever."
Even with a target on her back, Jordan-Higgins isn't wavering when it comes to trusting her game.
"It's obviously hard to defend a title, but there's no more pressure than normal. The only pressure would be coming from myself," said Jordan-Higgins. "Obviously, I would love to win again. I like knowing that I've played well here and that I feel comfortable on this golf course. The season is long and this is just the beginning."
A rookie on the Symetra Tour in 2011, Jordan-Higgins is a veteran to the official qualifying tour of the LPGA. She has two wins in addition to her 2017 Florida's Natural Charity Classic victory, and a total of 14 career top-10 finishes.
However, something about the Country Club of Winter Haven makes her feel right at home.
"My favorite part is the greens. They're pretty fast, but they roll so true," Jordan-Higgins said. "I like this course because it requires you to think your way around. You need to be on the correct side of the fairways in order to give yourself the best shot."
Having only played in eight tournaments last season, she still finished No. 39 on the Race for the Card money list. Now on the cusp of a fresh start, Jordan-Higgins looks to improve in both categories this year.
Thanks to a productive off-season, which included spending Thanksgiving in New York and visiting family back home in Jersey, she is feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle what lies ahead.
"At the end of the season, I always like to get away from golf and have a break. It helps clear the mind and makes you feel fresh when you start practicing again," said Jordan-Higgins. "I spent a couple of months at home. I was able to be there for Christmas and then my first niece was born in February. It was special for me to meet her before the long season ahead."
When play gets underway on Friday for the Florida's Natural Charity Classic, 12 total players that call the Sunshine State home will be part of the competition, a group that also features three from Tampa, including AJ Newell and Sierra Sims.
While many of their counterparts will be flying then driving to get to Winter Haven, it's essentially a home match for these individuals, nearly in their backyard.
"I certainly love the travel that comes with playing golf as a professional, but it generally means no family or friends can come watch you play," said Newell. "Having this event so close to home means my parents will be able to come watch, and that means the world to me. Golf has given me a very tight knit family."
Newell was homeschooled in high school before attending the University of Tennessee. Born and raised in Tampa, her parents still live in the same house she grew up in.
Reflecting on 24 years of memories from across the state, Newell points out just how much golf has given her.
"To think back to all the clinics, lessons, practices, and tournaments that my parents sat through to get me to this point really amazes me," said Newell, a former Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Honorable Mention performer. "I remember all the tough practices and swing changes my dad and I worked through together, the workouts my sister motivated me to get through, and the pep talks my mom would give me when I was away from home. Playing so close to home makes me proud to be able to compete in front of them."
Sims, on the other hand, attended Westlake High School in Austin, Texas, but her family moved to Tampa when she started at Wake Forest University in 2013. No matter the path, Sims still finds comfort in the Tampa area, where she now lives and trains.
"Growing up, we moved around a lot. Since I've been in college, I've called Tampa my home," said Sims. "I will be able to sleep in my own bed during the practice round days and on a day where I have a late tee time. It will also mean that my family will be able to come watch me play and cheer me on."
Representing their home state is important to both players, as well as each individual from Florida playing in the Florida's Natural Charity Classic. There's a sense of pride that comes with the territory of a tournament being contested where you're from.
Just as the path to how they got where they are today is unique, so is how they will approach the first event of the 2018 Symetra Tour season.
"My game plan for Florida's Natural is to go out there and have a great time competing," Sims said. "My plan is to leave everything out on the course and walk away on Sunday saying I gave it my all, while staying true to my game."
On the other hand, Newell looks to simply ease into the flow.
"My first and main goal for this entire year, and especially Florida's Natural, is to stay positive. I want to make it a priority to stay positive and be my own best friend," said Newell. "For Florida's Natural, my goal is to get back into competing as smoothly as possible. You can't truly know what you need to work on until you play under the pressure of a tournament."
For a second consecutive year, the Symetra Tour and American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) are partnering together to give three AJGA Invitational winners exemption into select Symetra Tour events, the first being the Florida's Natural Charity Classic.
In January, Angelina Ye (Bradenton, Florida) won the Annika Invitational USA presented by Rolex, her second AJGA win and first invitational victory. Ye's performance sealed a spot in the 132-player field for this week's Florida's Natural Charity Classic at the Country Club of Winter Haven.
"It's definitely a very special opportunity for me, my first Symetra Tour event," said Ye, who is No. 6 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings. "I'm really grateful to the AJGA for the platform they have provided in junior golf. I'm doing everything I can to make sure that I am going to be ready to play my best."
Ye was born in Shanghai, China, and moved to the United States in January of 2016. A member of the IMG Academy class of 2019, Ye brings a pinch of local flavor to the Symetra Tour's season-opening event.
Thanks to the proximity of Winter Haven to Bradenton, she will have a very flexible schedule for the week. Her plan is to play a practice round on Tuesday, return home to go to class on Wednesday, then venture back to the course on Thursday to finalize a gameplan for the tournament. Talk about diligence and determination.
"Over the weekend my mom will bring my brother over and come watch me play," Ye said. "I'll try to approach it like any other tournament—focus less on the results and more on enjoying the game. I find I usually play the best when I'm in that mindset."
Though the 16-year-old will be the youngest player in the field, she's not backing down. Already verbally committed to play college golf at Stanford University, Ye is ready for the current opportunity at hand.
"It isn't the first professional event that I have competed in," said Ye, a two-time Rolex Junior All-American. "Being the youngest player in the field doesn't really faze me. If anything, I think it's a little comforting knowing the rest of the field has more experience than I do. There are a few players in the field who I have competed with recently, so it won't be completely foreign."
Even though it's not her first rodeo, the amateur expects to soak up plenty of information throughout her Florida's Natural Charity Classic experience.
"I think every tournament is an opportunity to learn about my own game and improve it, regardless of the results," Ye said. "Playing with the professionals, I'll definitely be on the lookout for things they are doing that I can improve on, or incorporate into my own game."
A new year not only means a clean slate, but the ushering in of a fresh group of rookies to the Symetra Tour and 2018 is no exception.
A group of 22 first-year Symetra Tour professionals will make their debut this week at the 10th annual Florida's Natural Charity Classic, including the youngest non-amateur in the field, 17-year-old Youngin Chun (Gainesville, Florida).
"I am very happy and nervous for the season to start," said Chun, a four-time Rolex Junior All-American. "I want to play just as how I practiced. I think I will be very nervous for my name to be called out at the first tee box."
Once as high as fourth in the Rolex AJGA Rankings, Chun won five AJGA titles in three years, among other impressive accomplishments as an amateur.
By last summer, the enormous amount of success shifted her attention to becoming a professional and gaining Symetra Tour membership. In June, Chun petitioned LPGA Tour Commissioner Mike Whan to compete in the 2017 LPGA Qualifying Tournament through Stage II. After reviewing Chun's petition, Whan granted her eligibility.
She made it through Stage I and finished tied for 18th at Stage II to earn the status she desired. Now Chun finds herself in Winter Haven, the week of her first event as a pro.
"I have played a lot of games, but I cannot really expect anything since it's my first time," Chun said. "I will try my best to enjoy regardless of my scores. I want to show all my capability and play to the fullest."
A Florida native, Chun is thankful to be playing close to home.
"If it were to be in a different state, I would have to get used to weather, grass," said Chun. "I'm really glad the first tournament is near where I live."
While most people her age are more concerned with where they are going for Spring Break, it has always been all about golf for Chun. Typically, the youngest competitor wherever she goes is a title she's used to, but it will have to be put on hold this week.
"I don't have 'breaks.' I always practice when people go on vacations," Chun said. "In this tournament, I'm not the youngest player, but the youngest pro. I hope I would be pressure-free."
- Players that finished Nos. 21-45 and ties at LPGA Qualifying Tournament Stage III in December earned conditional status on the LPGA Tour. A total of 13 players that finished in that range are in the field for this week's Florida's Natural Charity Classic.
- At No. 113 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, Anne Van Dam (Arnhem, Netherlands) is the highest ranked player not only in Winter Haven this week, but on the Symetra Tour this season, in this her rookie year.
- Two sponsor exemptions round out the 132-player field: Mary Hillow (Charleston, S.C.) and amateur Ina Kim-Schaad (New York, N.Y.).

Page Type: SYMPTOM
The 'Multisync Shifting' warning means that the Rangecast system has repeatedly changed which PC is responsible for managing a feed site's scanner operations. This likely indicates either that the PCs are on different Local Area Networks (LANs) and therefore unable to communicate with each other, or that the Multisync software is not launching (possibly due to overly aggresive anti-virus software.)
The 'Multisync Shifting' message likely indicates that either:
1) The PCs are on different Local Area Networks (LANs), see
[FAQ-1215] Error message: MULTISYNC LAN CONFLICT (Code 36)
Multisync is a system that coordinates the scanning activity between multiple scanners that operate as a cluster (co-operatively scanning the same channels.) Successful use of Multisync depends upon low-latency (fast) communication between the PCs that control these scanners, so it is normally required that the PCs be connected to the same LAN (Local Area Network.) In addition, due to standard NAT firewall security, it is normally impossible for PCs to directly intercommunicate if they are on different LANs.

It's not uncommon for organizations to have a number of groups, some of whom are regarded as the average rank and file, and others who are considered the elite, the best of the best. Without a doubt, it's true that people come in all shapes, sizes and descriptions, leaving some better suited for a task than others. Extending this line of reasoning even further, you can see how this naturally paints a picture where any group will have the equivalent of the unwashed masses and those capable, exceptional people who are destined to accomplish great things.
Although it would be unrealistic to expect every person within your walls to be a superstar, the problem arises when you start making class distinctions. The moment you see one group as less worthy than the next, you're going to start treating them that way. Whether you're a leader, a member of another group, or even one of the aforementioned unwashed masses, this perception is going to have a disastrous effect on what gets accomplished. If you feel that a certain job description or department in your company is populated by little more than cattle who are not capable of doing anything beyond their menial or simplistic tasks, it's a safe bet you'll never get anything more than that out of them.
Most organizations are run with a level of upper management that does the strategic thinking and planning for the organization. They're trained professionals in the art of running a business, and to these experienced hands fall the task of analyzing the marketplace, evaluating and anticipating the moves of the competition, and every other major planning initiative that drives the direction and success of the company as a whole. Of course, most of those who pursue upper management wouldn't have any idea of what to do if they were placed in the front lines of their company's production and service groups. It's not their area of expertise.
However, if strategy, planning, and creative thinking are the exclusive domain of management, where does that leave your front line workers? No matter how effective the executives at the helm, the products and services of any organization are produced by the people who aren't expected to do any thinking of their own. And yet, these people are the face of your company. You will be judged both by the quality of their products and the effectiveness and sincerity of their service.
If upper management cannot realistically be expected to know the ins and outs of these areas, and the people doing the job aren't expected to constantly search for a better way of doing things, how long do you think it will be before your competition overtakes you in the market?
Effective strategy is just as important in the work of the day to day production people as it is in the high level board meetings, so why not put some time and effort into teaching them the art? Although your production workers won't be considering matters of high level corporate planning, the fundamental principles are the same regardless of the task. Most of all, if you show them that you value their ideas and contributions, you'll be amazed at how quickly they come alive.
Customers are won or lost by your least paid workers. Instill a sense of pride in their ability to create superior strategies for the work that they do, and help them improve these skills whenever possible. When they believe that they, too, are the elite, they'll start acting like it. What chance do you think the unwashed masses of your competition will have the next time they compete with your newly inspired and engaged workers, who take pride in always being able to do it better, faster, and more creatively?
A company with an elite group of top performers is impressive. An organization comprised of nothing but the elite is invincible.

The revolution of Big Data is evident. It is the forward edge of science, driven by endless information that humans can only understand with the help of math and machines. Data is streaming from daily life, with a data flow so fast it minimizes human civilisation. It is not the 'endless' supply of information that is revolutionary, but what we have learnt to do with it. Big Data is an extremely important tool by which society can advance from and is the only way this planet is going to deal with its challenges, including medical care, food, electricity and energy supplies. The importance of Big Data is unmistakable but the big question is what to do with all this Data? This 'tool' must be treated with care, and adjusted to our human needs. We must become the master of Big Data, rather than succumb to its overriding nature and let it decide how we work, live and think.
Data has gone from stationary to dynamic, stock to flow. On the island of Crete, around 4000 years ago, dating back to 2000 BC, a team of archaeologists discovered a clay disk. The disk was detailed with hand-engraved etches suggesting information of value. Even though the meaning of these etches are a mystery, the disk still documents the society of 2000BC and it's way of storing and transmitting information. Today's society still stores information on disks, but now there is a liquidity of knowledge available for searching, copying, storing, sharing and processing at any point in time. Humanity can finally learn from the information that we collect and that is why Big Data is a big deal.
The Big Data era is a dramatic opportunity and society will exploit it until it has reached it's potential. We need to be clear on what it is capable of. Individuals will be outperformed by modern statistical methods such as machine learning, a brand of artificial intelligence (computer science) where data is thrown at it and it is forced to teach itself. Factory automation and the assembly line challenged the blue-collar labour in the 20th century, and today, Big Data will challenge the white-collar's professional knowledge
Big Data is invaluable as we can fundamentally do things that we couldn't do before, but if we do not master it, we may be punished by it's predicted potential. Privacy will no longer exist and we will struggle to safeguard the things we take for granted, such as free will, moral choice, human velation and human agency. The supremacy of Big Data comes with a set of philosophical and ethical issues concerning our perception, cognition and fairness. Society should seek to inquire the influence of Big Data, asking the question; how can we prevent ourselves from becoming slaves to this era of data deluge?

Don't dream it … experience it … Sail away in luxury to an isolated beach or a colourful reef aboard the purpose built day charter sailing catamaran "Kia Ora".
Sailing daily from Big Buddha Beach to a destination around Koh Samui Island or Koh Phangan island we take special care to ensure our guests have the facilities, the space, the food, the beverages and the atmosphere to have a truly memorable Thailand holiday experience.
Koh Samui is a relatively untouched area in terms of sailing. Currently there are no marinas available so the limited number of yachts tend to be used by determined locals or visitors who make the effort to bring their own boat on their Thailand holiday. Water sport activity is also very limited, primarily related to diving or jet skis.
Sailing in the Samui Archipelago with Kia Ora Catamaran Charters can therefore feel exclusive while still being close to the comforts of your Koh Samui hotel.
Kia Ora is the only day sailing or sunset cruise catamaran charter operation of its kind in Koh Samui.
We are focused on providing a high standard of service from the time we pick you up from your Koh Samui hotel through to the time we return you.
We provide all food and beverages so the only requirement from you is to bring your swimming suit, perhaps a book to read, an appetite for great food and drink and be prepared for a relaxing time out on the water.
Kia Ora operates all year round taking between 2 and 35 people sailing daily. It is perfect for a romantic honeymoon sunset cruise, a family group private charter, weddings or a corporate event, but please ensure you book early as we do fill up quickly – especially in high season when sailing in the Samui archipelago becomes a great way to get away from the crowds in Chaweng Beach.


text: World-renowned (historically acurate) military artist, James Dietz was looking for deeper exposure and additional revenue. Once most artists sell the original painting, prints, publisher / artist's proofs and giclee editions, revenue associated with the painting realizes its end. By producing a line of merchandise embellished with Jim's phenominal paintings, another revenue stream was created. We positioned the line in the proper distribution channels which created not only another revenue stream, but deeper penetration in the marketplace and increased exposure.
