Yesterday it was the Burberry runway. It was like I expected it. Honestly, is one of my favourites fashion shows like the Mulberry one and the Topshop one. It's the only I watched. The collection is fantastic like always. A lot of colour, texture and nice motif too. I fall in love with a lot of pieces, actually. I was happy to see the model Cara Delevingne, she's my favourite model and she was in my three favourites fashion show / company that I love. This runway was special because at the end Rose petals failing from the ceiling that was very pretty and perfect.
Here some pictures of my favourite looks:

These scholarships are offered by the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) "From Molecules to Organisms", based in Tuebingen, Germany.
Our program provides an interdisciplinary environment for doctoral research in the life sciences. We want to endow the next generation of scientists with the skills and knowledge to study complex biological processes that can not be adequately understood within the limits of a single discipline.
The Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology runs the school in conjunction with the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory and the Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen.
Application Requirements
Applicants must hold, or expect to hold, a degree in natural or computer science from a Diplom, Masters or equivalent program. Your current skills and knowledge should match well to your proposed area of doctoral research.
To start in September 2015, all degree work must be finished by September 1, 2015 and we require the final degree certificate by December 2015. Feel free to contact the IMPRS Coordinator for additional information.
Applicants with degrees from outside the European Higher Education Area must submit GRE General Test scores. To have your scores forwarded to us online, supply our institution code: 4791.

We had 13 out of 14 kids make it into the finals today. This is a good tuneup for state. We hadn't had a match in three weeks. We will have our hands full at state. It's a tough field. —Viewmont coach Brandon Ripplinger.
KEARNS — The Region 2 wrestling tournament had a lot of the old, and a little bit of the new Thursday night at Kearns High School.
To nobody's surprise, Viewmont won the team competition. The Vikings won region for the 18th straight year and qualified an amazing 23 athletes to next week's 5A state meet. They had six individual winners and accumulated 468 points.
Kearns finished second, followed by Taylorsville, West, Hunter and Granger.
While the team title was never in question, there were plenty of individual heroics from virtually every team, each anxious to show they could compete with the Davis County juggernaut that moved from Region 1 this season.
"Viewmont had a lot of depth in all weight classes," said West coach Mike Schmidt. "They have a big advantage on us because we (Salt Lake District schools) don't offer wrestling in our junior highs."
"It's hard to compete against a team like them," added Kearns coach Tyson Linnell. "They're a dynasty. They're solid."
Tanner Luke, Austin Johnson, Kanchi Abe, Matt Wilcox, Lawson Essig and Colton Hadley each earned individual crowns for Viewmont and each hope to give the Vikings momentum next week. Viewmont has won seven state wrestling championships in its 48-year history, but all have come in the last 10 years.
"We had 13 out of 14 kids make it into the finals today," said coach Brandon Ripplinger. "This is a good tuneup for state. We hadn't had a match in three weeks. We will have our hands full at state. It's a tough field."
Viewmont got a taste of how tough it can be at various times Thursday.
Most of their defeats came to the hands of Kearns wrestlers, but one little West athlete made a name for himself.
Will Lang, a freshman who moved to Salt Lake from New Jersey a couple of years ago, continued his phenomenal season by beating Viewmont's Korbin Smoot in a close decision, 5-4.
Lang became West's first region champion since 2007, Schmidt said. When it was over, he couldn't have been prouder.
"He's a freshman and came in seeded number one, so it was no upset," Schmidt said. "(Having a freshman win) doesn't happen often. It's the first time since I've been here."
Linnell was also feeling pretty excited about Kearns' finish. He noted the Cougars had five region winners (Arthur Tomas, Issac Juarez, Brad Mortensen, Colton Grossaint and Leki Finefeuiaki).
Linnell considered two of those victories to be upsets, and was especially proud of Grossaint and Finefeuiaki.
"Grossaint's win was big," he said. "That was huge for him, and should give him a lot of momentum going into state."
Grossaint is a sophomore and trailed for most of the match. However, he was awarded a two-point takedown near the end of the second round after a long discussion by the referees.
Finefeuiaki is a junior and both gained huge amounts of experience in this tournament.
Finefeuaiaki was an offensive lineman on the Kearns football team and listed at 250 pounds. Linnell said he dropped 40 pounds between the end of the season (early November) and now. He compiled a 22-7 record during the season, pinned a Viewmont opponent in the semifinals and then edged the Vikings' Tanner Palmer 3-2 in an exciting, two-overtime decision.
Other interesting outcomes included:
— At 170 pounds, Kearns' Mortensen edged Taylorsville's Dylan Wilson (the quarterback on the Warriors' football team) in an exciting match, 10-6.
— At 182 pounds, Colton Hadley of Viewmont ended Kearns' Danny Kierstead's upset hopes with a pin in the third round with Kierstead ahead, 3-2.

Ok, well this week I was doing a ton of work to the UC Hiphop website; I couldn't stand the template I was using before and everything was confusing looking. I'd say its the first site where I can actually say I'm almost done with it. Unlike this one... :)
So this week we've got a new picsound, a short film by Jamie and Brendan Finucane. I don't take any credit for it, they definitely filmed and scored the whole thing. Be on the look out for these two at the next Sundance festival!
Click here to go to the picsounds page.
Thanks to those of you who submitted picsound pics; I'll try and get to them sometime soon. BTE is preparing for their show on March 4th, I'm in negotiations with Kevin and Jason about recording their next EP...things are way busy. It's valentine's day, so try and have a good one, even if you don't quite understand the day (like me). Make sure to score a lot of candy - but not those weird nasty heart shaped sweet tart things that taste like bitter dust.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention - Zirafa is now on allmusic, even though they say the artist name is Turnstyles, which I think is a flower-power type band from the 70s. Weird.

Leif Newman, Sweden, August 31, 2017
Dear fellow Swaras,
Just a few words of appreciation. I am now moving back to Sweden. Being a member of the Swaras has been one of the most memorable things during my five years in Kenya. Fantastics runs, wonderful friends and so many adventures.
Thanks to all of you and especially Ajaa and the CRE. Now I will be running in Sweden instead. Hope to see some of you in races in my home country.
All the best, and running is living!
Jorunn Goeransson, Sweden, January 5, 2017
Dear Swaras,
I joined you for running in the beginning of October 2016. As an exchange student, first time in Nairobi (and Kenya and Africa) it was not very easy to find good routes for running. Looking back at my four months in the city, joining the Swaras really improved my stay and my impression of Nairobi. I am very grateful to you all, good people, for welcoming me warmly to the Swara family.
I wish you all the best for 2017 and hope to see you again, either in Nairobi or any other marathon around the world.
Glenda Siegrist, US – July 20, 2016
Dear Swaras..
It has been a great pleasure to have the opportunity to run with many of you,if even for a word of encouragement as you passed me. I looked forward to Saturday AM to be able to run with a group of great and inspiring people. Thanks to those who plan and organize the trips, the routes, the food and other details.
I"m off to the US for vacation and the probably off to Juba, unless the environment stays bad. When I"m through Nairobi again, I'll put in for a Saturday run with you.
Thanks and blessings to all. Stay healthy. Run well.
Ariel Zirulnick, US – January 16, 2016
Today was my last run with you guys because I'm moving back to the US on Wednesday. I just wanted to write to say thank you for the great routes and good company for the last year! It made it easy (sort of) to wake up at 5:30 am most Saturdays 🙂
If anything takes you to Miami, where I'm moving, drop me a line!
Annabel Harford, UK – July 8, 2015
… my family & I will be returning to UK in August back to our home city of Bath.
I can truly say, without a doubt, that running with the Swaras has been my number 1 highlight of living in Kenya. So many interesting & challenging runs, and so many wonderful people who understand my addiction to running! Just remember – we are the sane ones. Those who do not run are missing out on life's natural high.
I am sure I will be back to visit & I will certainly join the Swaras again when I do (Naivasha relay 2016 / Lewa full 2017??)… And, please, if any of you find yourselves in the lovely South West of the UK, come and run with me there – and with my running club Team Bath.
Hope to see lots of you this Saturday.
Running is living – absolutely. All the very best and thank you all.
Adrien Henry, Belgium – July 25, 2014
Dear Swaras,
Although it's been a while since I last ran with you (more because of travels than laziness, I promise!), I'd just like to sincerly thank you all for the great fun we had together, the amazing sceneries we crossed and the extremely friendly welcome I received by all of you.
I'll particularly remember the incredible Kilimajaro Marathon with the beautiful massive peak in the background, and which I strongly recommend to anyone who hasn't experienced it yet.
I'm now based in Joburg and will start exploring the running paths of South Africa, so if any of you passes by just shout and I'll be happy to hit the road together.
I'll see you soon,
Kimberly Behrman – US – July 22, 2014
Dear Swaras,
After 3 wonderful years in Nairobi, today I'm heading back to the US for grad school. And I want to thank all of you for making my time in Kenya so fantastic.
When I started running, it didn't come naturally to me and I just didn't like it all that much. That changed when I joined the Swaras. The trails and camaraderie that are so signature Urban Swaras helped me fall in love with running. Saturday mornings have become the highlight of my week, and I'm so grateful to have explored Kenya through running with all of you. Special thanks to Otora and the whole CRE team for scouting and planning routes that introduced me hidden trails and incredible views that I would have never seen otherwise.
Thanks to all of you for your constant encouragement and advice about all things running. And of course, thank you for the company on long runs, for inspiring me push the pace a little faster, and for helping navigate when those chalk marks get confusing. There's no way I would have had the guts to run Two Oceans (or sign up for my first 80km race this November…), if it wasn't for the Swaras support.
I will miss the Swaras so much, but hope that you get in touch if you're ever passing through New York! I will definitely be back to visit Kenya too, so this is more of a see-you-later than goodbye 🙂
All the best,
Richard Lebon, UK – May 29, 2014
Dear Swaras,
After a short eight months in Nairobi, I am moving on – but just a quick message to say thanks for your wonderful welcome and kindness over this time, you have made my time in Kenya a real pleasure.
And if you are ever in the UK, let me know – indeed, remember to check out http://www.cityjoggingtours.
Good luck with all your upcoming races and adventures, and I will look forward to running with you all again sometime…
Richard Lebon
Daniel Lams, Sweden – April 8, 2014
Thank you all for the beautiful runs I got together with you, and especially all the support at Nairobi marathon last year. I will go home to Sweden now And run Stockholm marathon and in the future I will come back and run Lewa marathon together with you. Thank you all!
Daniel from Sweden
Andrew Brown, US – March 18, 2014
Thank you and please pass along a big thank you to Albert, who helped in my training on Feb. 15!! I did my half marathon in Virginia, USA on Sunday, and completed it in a time of 1:32 and 13 seconds. I was very pleased with the result as I was aiming for 1:40. I give a lot of credit to the Urban Swaras training run! I think it helped bring my time down about 10 minutes.
Here is a photo from post-race with my wife (who also ran). There were just under 9,000 runners in the race, I finished #216. The winner was a native Kenyan at 1:04.
Hamish Mcfarlane, Australia – January 9, 2014
Dear Swaras,
Happy new year to you all. Some good and bad news for you, the bad news is that we won't be back to Nairobi to live this year as planned. The good news is that Sarah is 14 weeks pregnant, and still running if a bit slower and shorter than usual.
We will at some point in the future be back for an extended stay, so don't forget us, we will be Swaras again.
In the meantime I have signed up to the Mt Solitary Ultra Marathon (trail race) which is in the mountains outside Sydney for my next race in April. I look forward to it as it is surprisingly remote with no support at all for the first 25km not even water.
We wish you all the best for the coming year and will follow the amazing Swara exploits on the emails.
Hamish and Sarah.
Hamish Mcfarlane, Australia – September 25, 2013
Sydney Marathon 2013
My heart and thoughts are with you all and Nairobi. My condolences to those of you who have lost or injured loved ones. Sarah and I have been in shock all week seeing and hearing what has happened (Re: Westgate incident).
It was with great pride that I pulled on my Urban Swaras shirt Sunday morning to run the Sydney Marathon, I finished in 3:36:44, a great result! More so considering I ran a 30km trail race in 32degC heat called the Coastal Classic two weeks prior in 3:46 and was really pushing recovery between races. The marathon mostly went to plan, I was targeting 3:30'ish, it was a warm day and I think if was a little cooler the leg cramps may have not happened in the last 7km and I would have been much closer to 3:30. Regardless, I am very happy with the result.
The men's marathon winner was Kenyan Willy Kibor Koitile 2:13:48. In the women's Kenyan Irene Mogaka ran third 2:38:20, beaten by two Ethiopians.
Take care Swaras and best of luck to those of you taking on the Chairman's Magadi challenge!
Avani Patel, Kenya – July 3, 2013
From a "Fool" to a "Full"
My First marathon; this is an absolute dream come true. I can only say that without the support and encouragement of the URBAN SWARAS this would have not been possible.
I would like to thank Kimmie in pushing me to go for it, Alix for being an amazing training partner– who ran 8 weeks with me, Trail fox and Ajaa for designing amazing routes.
Special thanks to my husband Niraj for running the last 5 km at Lewa with me (despite the fact that i wanted to outrun him so that he wouldn't say ALMOST THERE UHHHH ).
Best part was the cheering committee at the toughest 38km — Jael, Nadine, Francesca, her boys and Ameet ( anyone else if i left you out).
The first loop of the marathon was quite annoying having to dodge all the other runners to get ahead. But in some ways that was good thing — I had to save my energy for the 2nd round.
The 2nd loop took longer but the beauty was being on the trail tracks all alone with nature was the best part. I got to see only zebras in the 2nd loop. My ultimate focus was to RUN the whole way. it was head down and go go go and tackle the hills.
Fellow Swaras, if Avani can do it, you all can. I nominate
Susan Okoma
A special thanks to Lucy, Nduku and Jael for arranging the catering staff who did a wonderful job.
Erick Sile, South Africa – June 3, 2013
I completed my second Comrades yesterday in 10:31. Solid performance thanks to the solid base built while training with the Swaras 3 years ago in Nairobi. Swaras, you can all do this. I enjoyed the up run much more than the down run last year.
See you next year for 2014 Comrades down run.
Josephine Lamshed, Australia – April 25, 2012
Dear Urban Swaras
Well, I am down to my last five days in Kenya. I am not sure exactly where these three years went, but they have been unforgettable. I can say I have lived life here to the fullest and have experienced extraordinary highs and lows, but somehow even the difficult times turned into positive experiences. I truly do feel so lucky to have had the chance to live in Kenya and learn so much about Africa. And I'd so much rather be feeling sad (than happy) to leave.
Right from the first time Mutua brought me to Ocean's Pub, I was hooked. Since then through the Swaras, I've seen so many beautiful places, met so many intelligent and interesting people, and had the opportunity to push myself mentally and physically. Some of you have gone on to become my closest friends in Nairobi. Almost every aspect of my personal life in Kenya is somehow linked back to the Swaras. The Swaras were the best group of people I met in Kenya, your willingness to get our there and give triathlon a try confirmed it!
I am taking a long holiday, then starting work in Canberra, the capital city of Australia, from August. You can catch me at this email address.
I'll miss those kids on hydrate-or-die calling out Mzungu, Mzungu, how are yooooo? But maybe you can tell them from me, I am (Jose)fine!
Rixt Bode, Netherlands – April 19,2012
Thanks and goodbye!
Dear Swaras,
For those of you who did not know, this is just to tell you that I am leaving Kenya tomorrow, after a 6 weeks deployment to our country office. I have really enjoyed my time here and that is not the least because I found you and could join you for the Saturday runs over the past weeks. I guess I have been really lucky, being able to go to Longonot, Maanzoni, Amit's house, and last week seeing the left, right and centre of Ngong.
You are a great and very pleasant group to join, and I have started a big promotion campaign among my colleagues. I will continue running when I am back in The Netherlands and for a while will certainly enjoy the flatness of my country, but I am sure that after a few times I will long back to the hills of Kenya and certainly to you.
Keep up the running and I hope to see you shining at the podium of the Amsterdam marathon one day!
Best wishes.
Gunnar Kraft, Sweden – February 5, 2012
Thanks for inspiration.
Dear all,
I want to thank you all for a few years of running together with Swaras. It has been an inspiration for me to come back and be a bit more stringent with running. I have been a member of different running clubs/groups over the years but I have never met a team as Swaras. Keep up that spirit and the Urban Swaras will defintely be the best running club south of Sahara and north of Limpopo!
I move to Dar in March and welcome you for running in Dar whenever you pass by.
Hope to see you sooner or later.
Erick Sile, South Africa – December 3, 2010
Dear Swaras
I wish to thank everyone who made it to my farewell run. Special thanks to the
organizers of that great event last Saturday. Many thanks as well for all the
kind words of encouragement by email, sms or through phone conversations.
I was truly honored to have met all of you. I will miss running with the Swaras
on Saturday mornings; all the motivation, fun, laughter, pushing, etc. that made
me improve my personal best.
Please give me a shout if you are ever in Joburg. I would be happy to take you
through some nice hilly routes here. Once I settle, I may even think about
organizing a Joburg Swara event. For all of you running the 2 oceans or the
comrades, you are all welcome to "camp" in my house (when I find a house).
Thank you and keep running!

According to the 1999 Internet Advertiser Study by the Internet Advertising Bureau of Canada and Darestep, a joint venture by Cap Gemini and Ernst & Young Canada, internet ad revenues in Canada are set to more than double this year.
Online adspend in 1999 reached $45 million and is expected this year to reach $100m. Less than 20% of current online spend by Canadian-based companies was with US-based websites last year and is expected to decline further this year.
Sixty-four per cent of the companies surveyed say they will advertise online within the next twelve months and approximately half the respondents already so do.

Monday is Minnesota Robotics Day at the state Capitol, where students and people who work in the robotics industry will be demonstrating what they do.
The event at the Capitol is intended to educate lawmakers about the state's robotics industry and its prospects for growth, said Andrew Borene, the executive director of a group called Robotics Alley, which promotes the industry in Minnesota.
"What we want to do is introduce the state's government leaders and the public to our local ecosystem in a rapidly growing industrial segment globally, specifically unmanned systems," Borene said.
Demonstrations of robotic technology will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Monday in the Capitol rotunda, said Borene, who works for Edina-based ReconRobotics. The company manufactures throw-able remote-controlled cameras used by the military and law enforcement.
Borene said the event is intended to let government leaders know the industry is "willing to help them as they determine what's the future of Minnesota's economy going to look like and how do we secure high-tech job growth."
He said there are more robotics clubs at Minnesota schools than there are hockey teams.

iOS 10 is now available for all compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch models. It is a massive upgrade in every inch introducing more powers to your iOS experience. And for the first time in iOS history you will find jailbreak tweaks features in stock iOS 10. But will that make iOS 10 jailbreak less concerned, not at all. In fact we find more and more Cydia iOS 10 discussions with days passed. Believing this is the best time if Cydia Download 10 get powers, here is everything new on iOS 10 jailbreak. So take a look and get all your uncertainties cleared.
As of iOS 10 Download is now allowed all compatible iDevices can install iOS 10 via OTA or manually through iTunes. But we recommend iTunes method if you willing to make changes with upcoming jailbreak updates. If not you would find clashes with apps like Pangu jailbreak with OTA updates.
For iOS 9.2-iOS 9.3.3 jailbreakers: If you are currently enjoying iOS 9.2-iOS 9.3.3 Pangu jailbreak opportunities, you are strictly advise to sit tight to your versions. If you upgrade to iOS 9.3.4/iOS 9.3.5 or iOS 10 above iOS 9.3.3 you will lose your current jailbreak access and will be stuck until jailbreak status gets updated. So stay with iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak until you are confirmed with Pangu 10 or any jailbreak update
Jailbreak iOS 10 – Cydia Download 10
iOS 10 arrived with successful beta cycle. And in the times of iOS 10 beta testing we found number of Cydia Download 10 attempts with the contribution of reputed jailbreak developers. But still we find no tool confirmations and it would take times to the future.
iOS 10 Jailbreak Attempts
- Developer iH8snow with iOS 10 jailbreak demonstration at iOS 10 very first beta
- Team Pangu with iOS 10 jailbreak demonstration at MOSEC 2016
- Developer Luca with video "YaluX" proving jailbreak iOS 10 at final iOS 10 beta
Update: Adding more value to what Luca invented weeks before on iOS 10 final beta, he has once again stepped into chapters proving iOS 10 jailbreak with its final build. For that he had used an iPad running iOS 10 and this video proved Cydia substrate support for iOS 10. And with the successful code injection you will see powerful apps like Anemone, Mobile Terminal and even more. As to detailed demonstration Luca's jailbreak techniques seem semi-untethered that only works for 64-bit device range. But as this is not going to be released for public use, we still cannot say how would the final iOS 10 jailbreak would be. However this is once again a great work by developer Luca which proves Cydia Download on iOS 10.
Pangu Jailbreak for Cydia iOS 10
Even though we find powerful jailbreak attempts, still we find no official tool to Cydia install on iOS 10. And it is no use to look on developers like Luca and iH8snow, who are not ready for tool releases as in anytime. And it is important to remember that they only do things for testing purpose. But if Pangu finds working exploits there will be a massive Cydia iOS 10 that will center for a lot of discussions. And as to what they revealed at MOSEC 2016, Pangu 10 is under its build. So let's believe for another jailbreak under trusted name Pangu.
Currently Pangu updated tool jailbreak iOS 9.2-iOS 9.3.3. But if you upgrade you will lose your current jailbreak rights as we find no way to Cydia Download on iOS 10 or on previous iOS 9.3.4 and iOS 9.3.5. So stick to Pangu 9.3.3 and be touch with all Pangu 10 updates too.
As for the facts standing right now iOS 10 jailbreak is largely possible from Pangu. In that way the next Cydia Download 10 is not really far from view. As things are yet to reveal stay with us as always. And make sure to write everything that you are uncertain about iOS 10 jailbreak and Cydia install.

JOSEPH - A LIFE OF VIRTUE, W Ross Rainey
The life of Joseph is an illustration of the biblical principle that "all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Rom. 8:28). God allows the trials of life to teach us things we would not otherwise learn.
JONAH - MEETING THE GOD OF THE SECOND CHANCE, O S Hawkins 2 Units
It is the story of Jonah's calling, disobedience, problems, and prayer life. It is the story of his encounter with God and of God's gracious dealings with him. It is the story of a man, and of an entire city, that got a second chance.
JOHN THE BAPTIST - PROPHET OF THE HIGHEST, Ken Fleming
From the time of the prophet Malachi, 400 years before, there had been no direct word from God to His people. Then suddenly a man appeared on the stage of the New Testament era - John the Baptist. His main role was to prepare Israel for their Messiah.
SENSE AND NONSENSE ABOUT PRAYER, L Strauss. 2 Units
Have you ever listened to yourself pray? Did it ever occur to you to think through and analyse your prayers? This provocative study is designed to help us in the way we pray.

BELIEVERS BATTLE WITH TEMPTATION R. Jay Waggoner
Temptation to sin is inevitable. But does that mean we can't have victory over it? Understanding the principles in God's Word (as to how we can resist it and triumph over it) will equip and encourage us in our Christian lives.
WHAT KIND OF FRUIT ARE WE BEARING? Betty Holt
Every Christian has the Holy Spirit residing within them but how much does He have of us? To be 'filled with the Spirit' will mean that I show the results of His inner presence in everything I do.
GIDEON - MIGHTY MAN OF VALOUR, Peter Pell
In this study we learn much of how God works and who God uses. Gideon, like many of us, was weak in the eyes of this world, but God worked in and through him to deliver His people. In observing Gideon we can observe ourselves and learn to serve God better
This is a new series of studies dealing with some of the issues Christians have to face as they seek to live for the Lord.

If each U.S. state were a high school clique, Californians would be the "cool kids." And now there's scientific evidence to support that stereotype. Unsurprisingly, it's thanks in large part to the beautiful weather.
According to a new study recently published in the journal Nature Human Behavior, people who grew up in milder climates (like Cali) are likely to be more social and emotionally even-keeled than those who were raised in more extreme weather conditions.
The study followed a whopping 1.6 million people residing in different climates throughout China and the United States. It discovered a direct correlation between the type of climate people grow up in and their overall personality. Pretty fascinating, right?
"Clement (i.e., mild) temperatures encourage individuals to explore the outside environment, where both social interactions and new experiences abound; by contrast, when the ambient temperature is either too hot or too cold, individuals are less likely to go outside (for example, to meet up with friends or to try new activities)," researchers wrote in the study.
As Inverse explains, the temperature at which all us human beings are most comfortable is 71.7 degrees Fahrenheit. In the places around the world where the ambient temperature is right around that, people tend to have higher scores on the "Big Five" personality traits — agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, extraversion and openness to experience.
They're also likely to score higher when it comes to their "socialization factor" and "personal growth factor." Basically, they're even-tempered, friendly, outgoing and just plain fun to hang out with.
The study also points out an interesting connection to global warming: "As climate change continues across the world, we may also observe concomitant changes in human personality," study authors wrote.
That could mean that if the climate becomes warmer and more tolerable in colder parts of the country like Minnesota, they might become the new cool kids on the block. On the other hand, if temperatures get unbearably hot in SoCal, Californians could lose their cool (both figuratively and literally).
Obviously, your fate isn't solely determined by your hometown's climate. Whether it's 99 degrees in the shade or subzero in the sun, get off your butt, get out and socialize no matter what. It's good for you!
What Do YOU Think?
Are you surprised that people who live in milder climates have better personalities? What type of climate do you live in? What would be the optimal climate for you? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Transparent Lock
I've been slowly adding to my collection of trick locks over the last few years, and first saw the Transparent Lock by Gary Foshee a couple of years back, but sadly missed out back then as they sold incredibly quickly. I was lucky enough to be able to borrow one, and solve it, and at that point I kicked myself for not being quicker off the mark in trying to get one.
When I heard from Gary himself that Wil Strijbos had some with him at IPP 35 for sale, I was pretty quick in finding Wil and asking if I could please lighten his luggage and take one off his hands.
The puzzle looks exactly as you'd expect for a transparent lock (or as it's also known, the Open Lock). It looks pretty simple, with a square frame, a shackle, and a few bits and pieces attached to the frame. You also get a handy hex wrench with a handle, which given that it comes with the puzzle, we can safely assume is not considered an external tool.
The puzzle comes in a fairly plain gold box, and as you can see, mine is the 2015 version of the puzzle. It's the same as the older version, so no need to try to hunt one of these down if you have the first release version. In the bottom corner is Gary's little cartoon signature, which looks uncannily like the man himself.
Made almost entirely from aluminium the puzzle has a fairly rough look to the body and the hex handle, showing lots of tool marks, while the rest of the puzzle has a polished and clean finish. It's a little disappointing, given the quality of some of the aluminium puzzles out there, and some of Gary's other work I've seen. With a little polish I'm sure the frame could be cleaned up, so it's really a small nit, but given the price of the lock, you do expect a certain level of finish.
Measuring in at 2.5" x 4.5" x 0.8" it's about a standard size for a lock, and it has a good solid feel to it. I doubt that you'd damage much other than your toes if you dropped it. Given how solid it is, it's easily a puzzle that you can pass round and let people play with, and there's really not much they can do wrong.
These are fairly limited in production because Gary has to make the shackles himself, and having talked to him about them, they're a real pain to make. Apparently they're cold forged and the process is pretty difficult to get the results he needs. Let's just say that he's not the biggest fan of making these!
Looking over the puzzle, there's a couple of fairly obvious things to try, like the screw thread at the bottom of the lock. You will also notice the hex head inside the shackle, and you'll probably make the obvious leap that it's useful, and that you should probably do something with it. Unfortunately, it's not going to be quite that easy to open the shackle, and if we're honest you wouldn't want it to be that easy.
At this point, you're probably yelling at the screen "Use the hex tool", and you'd think that would be useful. Unfortunately, Gary has very helpfully rounded over the ends of the hex tool, making it entirely useless. Of course there are things that you'll find useful, and the puzzle has much more hidden around it than you'd think at first. There's a reasonable sequence of steps to discover various tools and useful bits that will get the puzzle open.
Once you remove the shackle from the frame, you can entirely disassemble the puzzle and leave yourself with an array of parts on the table. I think this is one of the reasons I like the puzzle as much as I do, since it really lives up to its name. Once open it really is transparent.
While it's not a difficult puzzle, and took only a few minutes for me to open the first time I played with one, it is well made, and it's a fun puzzle. If you're looking for a challenge on the order of a Popplock, then you'll want to look elsewhere as I feel you will probably be disappointed.
Having been trying to get one of these for a while, and missing them at auction I'm happy to have picked one of these up. It's a great addition to my collection, and one of Gary's puzzles I'm very happy to have. Allard was able to get his hands on one of the original run, so head over here to read Allard's thoughts.
Hi Neil, great meeting you at IPP35. During the Puzze Exchange, I asked Gary and he directed me to Wil also…glad I managed to get my hands on an Open Lock. Waited a couple of years for this.
Did Foshee have other puzzles to sell?
Strange that he directed to Strijbos (it's not his puzzles not his designed..! unless he wanted to make his margin and saw with Foshee how to make the more money he could). Just an assumption…No offense for anybody!
Even if he rounded the end of the rod, it's still absolutely usable to unscrew and solve the puzzle….Mine must not have been rounded enough I assume?….

Biblical Prophecies on the Advent of
The Biblical prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad are evidence of the truth of Islam for people who believe in the Bible.
In Deuteronomy 18, Moses stated that God told him: "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account." (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).1
From these verses we conclude that the prophet in this prophecy must have the following three characteristics:
1) That he will be like Moses.
2) That he will come from the brothers of the Israelites, i.e. the Ishmaelites.
3) That God will put His words in to the mouth of this prophet and that he will declare what God commands him.
Let us examine these three characteristics in more depth:
1) A prophet like Moses:
There were hardly any two prophets who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad . Both were given a comprehensive law and code of life. Both encountered their enemies and were victorious in miraculous ways. Both were accepted as prophets and statesmen. Both migrated following conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlook not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well. These include the natural birth, the family life, and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus. Moreover Jesus was regarded by his followers as the Son of God and not exclusively as a prophet of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslims believe Jesus was. So, this prophecy refers to the Prophet Muhammad and not to Jesus, because Muhammad is more like Moses than Jesus.

I just came back from the most exciting morning.
Friday afternoon was a lot of tame fun. I had phở at Pho Hung with makemyway and springbird. Then we did some shopping, split an amazing veal sandwich from California Sandwiches, and ate a salad for dinner. That was pretty normal.
So was our trip to Lula Lounge. Makemyway and I went there to see jedward play with Samba Elegua. They're an amazing act! The crowd was dancing and laughing, well some of it, which was great for Toronto.
We left relatively early so that I could swing by Makemyway's house to pick up my camera. I had forgotten it there the night before. As I left her place, I realized that I had left my credit card at the lounge. So I tried to remember how to get back, paid my bill, and stepped outside. The band was packing up their gear, so I was able to say goodbye.
I was walking east when I noticed two people huddled in a bus shelter. I poked my head inside and asked where they were going.
You see, they were waiting at a Dundas stop for a streetcar. After hours. Which meant they would be spending a very long night in freezing weather. I surmised they weren't from Toronto.
Rodrigo and Francesca are actually visiting from Brazil. And they hadn't worn enough layers. I walked with them to College where we waited for a while, ducked into a convenience store to warm up, and caught the blue-night streetcar going east. I asked the driver to let them off at Jarvis, which is where there hotel is.
I bid them farewell as I got off at the Yonge stop. Soon, the bus came north and a group of us boarded. Most of the passengers were a bit unruly because the bars had just let out. When we got to Eglington, a whole bunch of people got on the bus. They had been kicked off the previous bus, which we saw as we drove past. I asked a girl what happened and she explained that a guy got angry at some other guy and punched out a window. There were about four police cars surrounding the abandoned bus.
Since our bus was quite crowded, I did the only thing I could think of: randomly chatting with strangers. This passed the time until my stop came up. A very drunk man said goodbye to his friends and exited with me. I walked with him for a while and we struck up a conversation. It seems that he is doing an anthropology degree at York.
This didn't explain why he had misplaced his hat in one of his friend's pockets. Or why he hit on every girl on our way north. Or why he had difficulty opening his front door, which I passed on the way back home.
Wasn't that an exciting series of adventures? So exciting, in fact, that now I'm wide awake! It's a good thing that I'm good at falling asleep.

Be kind.

First it was Shania, now Céline is getting a turn. Toronto's Barna-Alper Productions is in preproduction on the MOW biopic Céline, based on the life of singer Céline Dion, to air on CBC.
Donald Martin (My Life as a Dog) wrote the screenplay from the book Céline Dion: A New Day Dawns by Barry Gills and Jim Brown.
"It's a really well-known subject matter, so for our audiences - which are so fragmented - to know immediately from the title what the pic is about is really important," says Loren Mawhinney, VP of programming at BAP.
Céline will hand the Ceeb another big audience not unlike BAP's Shania: A Life in Eight Albums, about country star Shania Twain, which grabbed 1.2 million viewers on Nov. 7, 2005.
"The thing with Céline and Shania is that they were young girls with raw talent who made it, despite the odds. It's an inspirational story," Mawhinney says.
Filming is set to commence in March in Ontario, though BAP has yet to lock a director.
In other news, the story of accused serial killer Robert Pickton is also in the works at BAP, which is eyeing the still-unfolding story as an MOW for CTV.
The company has optioned the rights to a forthcoming book, The Pig Farm, by noted investigative author Stevie Cameron (On The Take, Blue Trust) and handed the adaptation duties to Peter Mitchell (October 1970, Cold Squad).
"We'd like to have it close to release after the trial," says Loren Mawhinney, VP of programming at BAP. Pickton is currently on trial in B.C., accused of murdering 26 women.
Mawhinney says BAP is also in "heavy, heavy development" on a companion documentary about the grisly case, fronted by Malcolm Clarke (Prisoner of Paradise).
Besides Céline and the Pickton projects, the busy indie prodco has a slate of productions up its sleeve for '07, including the crime pic The Quality of Life: A Dominic Da Vinci Movie for CBC and Showcase, starring Nicholas Campbell. It is also producing the 13 x 30 scripted series Da Kink in My Hair for Global Television and the 13 x 30 lifestyle show Party Mamas for Alliance Atlantis.

Farmers protest all over TN for Cauvery, thousands arrested
Thousands of farmers in Cauvery delta districts in Tamil Nadu picketed road and rail traffic at various places, demanding that Karnataka release water from its dams for long-term samba paddy crop.
Farmers associations called for a state-wide protest on Tuesday calling on the state and Central governments to facilitate release of water from the Cauvery River for cultivation of Samba crops.
Apart from rail and road roko, the farmers called for participation from the public. The protesters condemned Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's statement that they cannot release water as the farmers in Karnataka are facing a severe water shortage.
His statement last week had added that the state would explain the matter before the Supreme Court.
The farmers' stir comes days after Tamil Nadu government moved the Supreme Court, seeking realese of 50 tmc ft of water from Karnataka to meet its irrigation demands after it expressed its inability to release water as per the Cauvery water dispute tribunal's final award, citing low storage in its dams.
Meanwhile in Karnataka, screening of Tamil film 'Bhayam Oru Payanam' was disrupted at a cinema hall in Mysure on Tuesday during a protest organised by State Sugarcane Growers Association and other pro-Kannada forums against Tamil Nadu's stand on Cauvery water release.

While it may not be glamorous or exciting, it's true: the most efficient way to lose weight and keep it off is eating smaller portions of healthier food and moving more. Changing your habits in the kitchen may be an easy fix for some of us, but when it comes to getting more exercise, it can often be challenging to find the necessary time to hit the gym on a daily or even weekly basis.
According to the CDC, just over 20 percent of adults report getting the recommended amount of exercise, with individuals from 18 to 24 being among the most likely to actually hit those targets. Unfortunately, our sedentary lifestyles often mean that even healthy eating habits can't stop the pounds from piling on.
Luckily, the solution isn't as scary as you may think. For those whose phobia of being judged at the gym has them shying away from exercise, discovering the 25 Exercise Fears You Can Put to Rest can make a major difference in their confidence level and willingness to break a sweat on a regular basis. Even if you're not ready to make a major change in your lifestyle, you can still burn calories and slim down just doing more of the activities you do every day.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?
This article was original published on the FCR blog on May 24, 2018. Click here to read the original.
Is it any coincidence that I listened to the book, "The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers" by Amy Hollingsworth just last week and today #ThingsILearnedFromMrRogers is trending on Twitter? How did the Internet know? Well actually I think this might have something to do with a documentary that's being released in a couple weeks called, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"
Regardless, it seemed like a good opportunity to share my favorite customer service insight from the book. And may I say that while I definitely grew up watching Mr Rogers' Neighborhood, I'm only just recently realizing what a remarkable human being he was. Check out his definition of neighbor:
A neighbor is whoever you happen to be with at the moment — especially if that person is in need.
There are two key elements to this definition that we need to unpack a bit.
At the moment
The word "neighbor" is used in many different ways in our culture. It could apply to the people living in the house or apartment next door or it could be the person in the office or cubicle next to us. While these folks are indeed all our neighbors, I like Rogers' broader definition. If the person we're with right now is our neighbor, that includes the person at the grocery store that's too short to reach an item on the top shelf, or the homeless man asking for money on the corner, or the woman who accidentally drops her coffee at Starbucks, or our kids asking a hundred questions about a topic we know nothing about. This definition most certainly also applies to the customer on the other end of the phone, email, chat, Tweet, text, etc.
What Rogers is getting at, and what he did so well, is the importance of making ourselves present in the moment, giving full attention to the person we happen to be with right then and there. It's so easy to not be present and instead think about our next meeting, or what we want to say next, or multitasking by looking at a computer or phone screen. The first challenge here is to recognize who our neighbor is and be present with them.
In need
Once we're present with them, we are more readily able to recognize their need and respond accordingly. When we work in customer service, our job is to accurately recognize needs and innovate ways to solve problems. This starts by first recognizing the emotional need of the customer, whether they're elated, upset, or somewhere in the middle, and responding appropriately. This builds the essential trust required to move to the next step of solving the actual problem the customer contacted us about.
As I think more about this in a support environment, I'm reminded of the onus placed on leaders to allow their teams to focus on being present and recognizing needs. This means remembering that contact center metrics, like average handle time, should be driving a better customer experience. It also means keeping the number of windows agents have open, the number of clicks they have to make, and the number of items they're required to multitask, to a minimum. Our job is to free our agents up to be present so they can connect with customers and recognize and solve problems.
In the past I've shared my passion for the names we call our customers. I'm only referring to good names here, of course. I'm now realizing that I left a name off my list. What if we referred to our customers as neighbors? And while I'm sure this is standard for the likes of State Farm (like a good neighbor…) and Nextdoor, I think we could all benefit from thinking of the customer on the other end of the line as our neighbor. Once we've done that, let's apply Mr Rogers' definition and focus on being more present and recognizing their need. While we're at it, let's apply it outside of our workplace as well!
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you!
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?
