Your personal happiness is very important as it allows you to feel fantastic on the inside which is then reflected on the outside allowing you to be confident, creative and get all of the recognition you deserve in your home and working life. One of the ways you can improve and enhance your personal happiness is by working on all of the things in your life or things you would like to add to your life that make you happy. The best way to do this is by making a list and then one by one enhancing the happiness that you get from each one.
- Personal Connections – this includes the connections and relationships you have with your family members, your friends, your children and even your work colleagues. Every connection requires work on your part in order to acquire positive feedback from them which then makes you happy! Relationships can always do with some extra input to make things happier for both sides, so take a look at each relationship and work out what extra things you can put into each one to increase the overall happiness within them.
- Confidence – Increasing your confidence will improve your own personal happiness. There are several ways that you can do this which include updating your wardrobe as what you wear will make you feel more confident and extrovert. Another way is to look into the mirror each day in the morning and tell yourself that you are a wonderful person and that you deserve to be happy, by doing this you are placing into your subconscious a seed which over time will blossom into a full thought. This thought will always be there in the back ground making you feel complete happiness in yourself and will leave you feeling very confident. This technique needs to be repeated every day and once you adapt your thinking to this new way of thinking you will respect yourself even more!
- Prune the bad things in your life – By looking at all of the things in your life you are unhappy with will allow you to see what you can change. This can take some courage but the best way to do this is to just do it, be decisive and go for it! You may look at your list and recognize how unhappy you are with your current job, it may be stifling your creative thinking, not give you the respect you deserve for all of the input you put into your job or give you any recognition for your ideas or money that you bring into the company. All of these things can damage your personalhappiness stifling it and reducing the potential you deserve. Begin by looking for a new job, you may decide to change your career completely and try something new that you have always fancied trying but have never had the guts to do. Others will look for a new job that is within the same level of pay they are currently getting or a higher paid job, remember through it all even though it may be hard to adapt to this new way of thinking but you deserve this!

A conspiracy involving employees at NTR Metals was outlined in a criminal complaint against Juan Pablo Granda, 35, and implicates the North American precious metals refinery and trading company in a litany of serious actions.
The conspiracy involved the purchase of massive amounts of gold from illegal mines in Peru supporting human trafficking, forced labor and environmental devastation. The NTR Metals office in Miami laundered billions of dollars for criminal organizations like Peruvian narco-terrorists since it bought gold from their mines. It's could be that the employees at the Miami office were not properly vetted by NTR's corporate office, as no charges have been lodged against the company, a subsidiary of Elemetal.
Related: Mergers In Precious Metals Market
The U.S. complaint, filed in Miami, is part of a U.S. crackdown on smugglers using gold mined in the Amazon basin illegal where laborers use fire hoses and mercury to extract the nearly pure precious metal.
Smugglers, refineries and traders supply gold from illegal mines in Latin America, smuggling it into Miami and the international market.
A Bloomberg report outlined how one Chilean smuggler sold thousands of pounds contraband gold to NTR's Miami office before being arrested in Santiago. NTR, based in Dallas, isn't charged in the case. General counsel for parent company, Elemetal, did not comment.
NTR has likely been buying illegal gold since at least 2012. The company allegedly started "smuggling illegal gold through a shifting array of Latin American countries." The company eventually imported $3.6 billion worth from 2012 to 2015, according to the complaint.
"For all of the billions of dollars' worth shipped from Latin America to NTR in Miami, NTR sent billions of dollars in wire payments to Latin America from the United States," HSI agent Colberd Almeida wrote in an affidavit.
Chilean smuggler, Harold Vilches, told U.S. and Chilean prosecutors that he sold 4,000 pounds of illegal gold mostly to NTR Metals Miami. Mr. Vilches said two NTR employees in Miami knew his gold was illegal and even coached him on how to smuggle it into the U.S.
In 2013, Peru seized $18 million, including some headed for NTR financed by narcotics money laundering.
Several Latin America countries have begun investigations, "many of which involve gold being sold to NTR," Almeida wrote.
Ecuador arrested in a $400 million money laundering scheme involving gold mined in Peru and bound for NTR, the agent wrote. Chile arrested individuals regarding Peru and Argentina gold sold to NTR. NTR bought Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Guyana and the Caribbean from what the U.S. calls "highly suspicious gold imports." One of these sellers refered to himself as a "modern-day Pablo Escobar."
According to the complaint, he said: "I'm like Pablo coming to Ecuador to get the coke."

An Indonesian air force Hercules C-130 plane crashed into two houses in a residential neighborhood on Tuesday in the country's third largest city Medan, killing at least 55 people.
The police chief of the North Sumatra province, Eko Hadi Sutedjo, told reporters that the plane was carrying 100 passengers, including around 17 military personnel, CBS reported. So far, 55 bodies have been recovered.
None of the bodies has been identified and it's unclear how many of the victims are military personnel and how many are civilians, Mr. Sutedjo said.
A BBC correspondent in Indonesia, Alice Budisatrijo, reported that only the tail of the aircraft was recognizable, while the rest of the plan had turned to debris.
Some people are still trapped in the debris of nearby buildings, and it is too early to know the final death count, Ms. Budistrijo said.
The crash took place just two minutes after taking off from the Soewondo air force base, officials said. The pilot reportedly told the control tower that the plane should turn back because of engine trouble, but it crashed just as the plane was turning towards the airport.
The Hercules transport plane was manufactured in 1964, but a military spokesman said he was confident that the plane was in good condition.
The crash is "bound to put a fresh spotlight on Indonesia's woeful air safety record and its aging planes," wrote Reuters correspondent Roni Bintang.
According to the Aviation Safety Network, an Indonesian military or police aircraft has been involved in at least 10 fatal accidents over the last ten years.
It is also the second time in the last decade that a plane crashed in a Medan neighborhood. In September 2005, a Mandala Airlines Boeing 737 crashed after leaving Medan's Polonia airport. The crash took place in a crowded residential neighborhood and killed 143 people, including 30 who were on the ground.
Medan has a population of around 3.4 million residents. It is the third most populous city in Indonesia after the capital Jakarta and Surabaya.

2015 Ford Bronco Release Date, Price and Specs
Many Bronco fans are still very curious and wondered if Ford really keen to bring back the legendary Bronco SUV into the real life. The Dearborn automaker still keep the Bronco concept since it was introduced for the first time at the 2004 Detroit Auto Show, but we know that Ford never brought it back to the production line. We don't know what the main reason behind Ford's plan.
If you're a handsome man who navigates life in 1966, you would know that it's the first year when the Ford Bronco comes to the market. Talking about the Bronco history, the first-generation model made its first appearance in 1966 and utilizes a front engine layout. Destined to come as a two-door sport utility vehicle in the small compact SUV segment, the first-gen Bronco is set to fight against its strongest competitors at that time such as, the International Harvester Scout and Jeep CJ-5.
Unfortunately, the four-door passenger vehicle sold quite well in mid-1996 and four-door models seem to be the new market trends at that time. So, Ford may think that they should replace the Bronco with the new four-door models in order to respond to consumer demand. In the same year, the Bronco successor has finally come in the form of a four-door full-size SUV and the new model is widely known as an Expedition, which is destined to fight against General Motors product line such as, the GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban.
Ford Bronco History
Bronco has a great name in its history, especially for the fans. In 2004, Ford finally decided to bring the legendary Bronco concept at the Detroit Auto Show and our memories seem to go back to the past when looking at the concept version. However, as you can see in the picture, the sixth-generation Bronco seen adopting a much better design than the previous production model. The exterior design adopts box-like roofline combined with the round headlights and adopts a short wheelbase configuration.
Talking about engines and performance, the Ford Bronco Concept is powered by a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine that can deliver at least 128 horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque. This 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine featuring four-cylinder setup, complete with intercooled and Intelligent 4WD system. In order to transfer power to all four wheels, the sixth-generation model is equipped with a six-speed PowerShift manual gearbox.
Now, some reports indicate that Ford seems really serious to bring back the Bronco to the market. What we know so far is that the 2015 Ford Bronco will likely be based on the concept version, but the new model will get some changes and improvements in every aspect. The exterior and interior may be redesigned, but we doubt if the sixth-generation model will be completely redesigned.
The Dearborn-based automaker may be utilizing a design language from the concept version, given that the 2004 Bronco concept hasn't been entered into the production line until now. So, we suspect the 2015 models will have a many similarities to its concept version. However, we don't deny if Ford will provide a significant upgrade in terms of interior features. Meanwhile, the interior materials may be enhanced by high-quality materials and revised equipment.
2015 Ford Bronco Features and Specs
Rumors also suggest that the next Broncos will ride on the same platform as can be found in the Ford Ranger and Explorer. Speaking of features, the all-new 2015 Bronco will allegedly be equipped with several high-tech features as has been seen in several other Ford models, such as SYNC with MyFord Touch, BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, Active Park Assist, Navigation System with SiriusXM Traffic, Rear-View Camera and much more.
Under the hood, the 2015 Ford Bronco will likely offer three different engine options and two of them will be taken from the current F-150 pickup truck. This means that the Broncos will be powered by a Twin-Turbo 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine with a peak output at least 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
Next, the new model will also get a 5.0-liter V8 engine delivering 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, followed by the last option would probably come with a 4.5-liter turbodiesel engine. All engine options will reportedly only offered with four-wheel drive setup, but the Broncos will be available both with a six-speed manual and SelectShift automatic transmission.
Release Date Schedule and Price Tag
As for the release date, the sixth-gen 2015 Ford Bronco rumored to be making its first debut at an auto show before the end of next year and will likely be available in U.S. dealerships later this year or early next year. We're guessing this new model may be introduced at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, but keep in mind that this is just a guess. Speaking of price, the new Bronco is expected to go on sale in the North American market with a price tag around $31,000.

Aqua Fit workouts combine a variety of moves and techniques from exercises you might do in the gym or at other fitness classes such as jumps, jumping jacks, running, stretches as well as movements you may find in other sports.
One of the major advantages of an Aqua Fit class is that it has very low impact on muscles and joints greatly reducing the risk of injury and is therefore great for pregnant women and older people. The water also prevents the body from overheating.
Due to the resistance of the water the Aqua Fit classes are at a slower pace than land based classes.
As our pool is only 1.5m deep at the deep end you don't have to be a great swimmer to take part, although you would need to have some confidence being in the water.
Fitness Class Timetable.

As a result, she has been named the Landmark Conference Offensive Athlete of the Week for women's soccer.
Toburen scored twice in the second half of a 3-0 win over the Lions on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at Weiss Field. She scored in the 76th minute to double the Royals' lead to 2-0, then added her second goal just 106 seconds later to put the game away in the 78th minute.

Bad Seed recently announced that their post-apocalyptic turn-based PC video game INSIDIA is now available on Steam Early Access. INSIDIA is a free-to-play online strategy title that combines tactical planning and cunning deception as players face off in 1v1 turn-based combat to dominate and counter their opponent's moves within the game map.
"We are delighted to launch the Open Beta of INSIDIA," said Gianpaolo Greco, Producer of Bad Seed. "Now all competitive turn-based strategy fans can join the post-apocalyptic mayhem and refine their strategies while the game is still in development."
Each INSIDIA player fights to secure critical objects in order to destroy the enemy's defenses and gain outright victory. A colorful roster of wild characters including fierce punks, mutated wizards and steampunk knights forms the core of a player's fully customizable hand-picked team of champions, each with their own unique set of abilities and skills.
Champions are represented by three different abilities: Passive, Active and Ultimate. Passive abilities allow player characters to act automatically to events and scenarios in the ensuing battle. Active abilities allow the champions signature ability to be used every time a champion is activated. Ultimate abilities require an energy cost to be paid in order to be utilized, energy is a resource in INSIDIA that is passively generated each turn.
Dominating the map with carefully thought out moves and utilizing a champion with the right abilities are essential to become victorious. Once a base is vulnerable, a champion can sabotage it to achieve victory. INSIDIA will ultimately provide players with 12 different champions to choose from along with 36 different skins and now offers the initial 6 champions for its Open Beta launch with new characters unlocking every month.
Developer Bad Seed is setting its sights on eSports later in the year and INSIDIA will be the first indie game to come to FACEIT's eSports platform after full release.

VW is a magnet for organized labor, intentionally."
NASHVILLE -- Top Volkswagen officials came under harsh questioning Tuesday from a Chattanooga Republican lawmaker who charged that the German auto manufacturer is a "magnet for organized labor, intentionally."
During a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on the state Economic and Community Development's budget, which includes $165.8 million in proposed state incentives to the company, Sen. Bo Watson, R-Hixson, repeatedly drilled David Geanacopoulos, Volkswagen America's general counsel, about its labor policies.
Watson said the incentives for Volkswagen "will give Southeast Tennessee a big foothold in the automotive industry particularly in research and development and ... development of a new line of VW vehicles" -- a planned SUV.
"However, Mr. Chairman and committee members," Watson said, "VW is a magnet for organized labor, intentionally."
He questioned Geanacopoulos over continued United Auto Workers' efforts to represent workers, which failed last year in a close vote of plant employees. Opposition was led by U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and other elected GOP officials, including Watson.
Watson specifically zeroed in on news accounts of comments made last year at a national UAW convention by Frank Patta, vice chairman of VW's European and Global Group Works Council, which represents workers worldwide.
The lawmaker read from news accounts in which Patta said VW's works council is a model that can only help workers.
"We did not lose the fight. I promise you we will go on," Watson read from Patta's comments. "Our dream is stronger than the resistance of our enemies. We will only rest once our colleagues in Tennessee have the UAW and co-determination. Our works council model will spread to the entire South and hopefully far beyond Tennessee. ... This is our dream."
Watson, in whose district VW's plant sits, said the company's investment in Chattanooga has "been nothing but transformational. There's no doubt about that" with the entire area impacted "mostly from the positive." But he cautioned fellow committee members that transformation "can also involve other aspects."facebook
The lawmaker questioned Geanocoupolis over the company's granting of limited recognition to the union with regular meetings by UAW with VW officials. And he cited concerns over comments made by a Chattanooga-based UAW official that the union is working to solidify its relationship with VW.
Geanocoupolis told Watson that the works council is an "independent organization" and a body established by German law. "So it doesn't reflect the views of the management of the company. Rather, it reflects the views of the Work Council itself, that elected representative body within the company."
Geanocoupolis said "we believe it is a question for our employees to decide. We have actually established a new policy in the company that allows us to have conversations with any labor organization that has support from our workforce. Not about collective bargaining. It's not about union representation."
He noted that under VW's community engagement policy, the company also granted limited recognition to an anti-UAW group calling itself the American Council of Employees (ACE). Both the UAW and ACE meet with company officials to "exchange ideas," Geanocoupolis said. "And that's the extent of it. We have this obligation to be engaged with our employees and the groups that represent them and it's embodied in this new policy which is open and transparent."
Replied Watson: "I'm not sure that really answers the question of whether there's a partnership or not."
In the end, the Commerce Committee approved the incentive grant as part of the Economic and Community Development Department's budget without Watson's support.
The vote was 8-0 with Watson abstaining. Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, who has also been critical of UAW, voted yes.

What connects Haiti President Michel Martelly, Rwanda President Paul Kagame, Dr. Paul Farmer and fashion designer Donna Karan? Find out tonight when all are guests on "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9pmET/PT. "I think people were quite shocked when I went down originally," said Karan of her work in Haiti and with her company Urban Zen. "What I was able to do was work with the artisans."
Martelly discussed the development of his country. "The Rwanda model is a model we're following very closely," he said. Watch the full interview tonight – 9pmET/PT. And find out more below...
"Piers Morgan Tonight" intern Morkeh Blay-Tofey writes about the backstory:
On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rippled through Port au Prince, Haiti leaving in its wake total destruction of national monuments, thousands of deaths, and a small Caribbean nation that has had its share of prior struggles in complete disarray. Governments and NGO's alike have pledged millions of dollars of immediate aid to Haiti after the devastating earthquake. However, long-term solutions are essential to Haitian musician turned president Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly; solutions that drive the nation towards sustained progress, which was successful for another nation in a similar vein of carnage. Mid-July of 1994 saw the end of arguably the worst 100 days on earth for Rwanda – 800,000 people slaughtered, growing civil unrest, and uncertainty towards what may become of this central African nation. Fast-forward to today and Rwanda has achieved success on its own terms through the effective yet controversial policies of President Paul Kagame. His promotion for a national identity of self-reliance through private enterprise and free markets has brought Rwanda numerous compliments.
Fortunately, Haiti is not alone in its development. Nobody knows the squalid condition of Haiti pre and post earthquake better than physician and U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti, Dr. Paul Farmer. He founded the organization Partners in Health (PIH) in the country on the basis of doing whatever it takes to make people in need well through medical care and social services. PIH is currently one of the largest providers of health in Haiti and now has clinics in Peru and Rwanda. Through his outgoing personality and fervent use of the pen, Dr. Farmer is pushing for a Haiti-Rwanda Commission and he has a new book out "Haiti After the Earthquake." In the fashion world, Donna Karan is a very influential figure through her clothing company Donna Karan International. But also through her Hope, Help and Rebuild Haiti (HHRH) organization, she is a player in the ongoing development of the struggling nation. What can Haiti learn from Rwanda? How will Haiti build its own self-reliance? What can the international community do help Haiti beyond financial aid?
i will see you tonight when i was 16 i was model in ISL just modelo not pasarela..my size just so i am intristing and even i don't use DK. Italian stilyng. thank you ..you are good friend i meaned.
You can't live from the scars made by the past ...
I was dismayed by the amount of time spent on Haiti. This subject is deep, worthy of further discussion, and I should hope that you would schedule a more in depth session on this subject in the near future. These people need our help and your coverage merely glossed over the issues and did nothing to rally support. Please try again.
David Vaughn
I agree that the time spent in discussing Haiti's issues was hardly worth it. In depth needed; not too much more time with more content would have been much more useful. What a waste of time for such leaders.
Actually any and all of the individual oioanrzatigns would be blessed to receive the 100$ that is to come their way every time a new post appeared on facebook for me to see, I was amazed at the effort of good people for making a difference for someone else. I am partial to Songs of Love since I get to see the smiles on the faces of children and families when they receive their special song just about them. )
Interesting. I like to see creative solutions...and artists involved. Go Donna!
Very good job !!
oh wow I will sent you some Haitian Coffee! only 2 minutes to the president of a Nation that is struggling for help... Very disturbing but then again what did I expect!!! you are just the same as all the others, you are always giving a bad image of Haiti! Long live Anderson Cooper he is the ONLY one who tries to give a better image and bring attention to that country !!!!!!!!
I was too short, Piers should have let them elaborate more their ideas....Good job Donna Karen
is this all Piers?? I am sure sure sure that Farmer and Martelly had a lot more to tell you and the world !
Please show us the WHOLE interview on another date (understand the breaking news interruption of Troy Davis)
Vive Haiti Cherie
I truly respect Piers Morgan and I think he is one of the best interviewers currently. However, I don't think Mr. Morgan showed enough respect to President Martelly in tonight's show. President Martelly wasn't given the chance to talk. This was a slap in the face and CNN should be ashamed.
Piers, President Paul Kagame is a great solution not only to Rwanda but also Haiti. Rwanda where it is because of the leadership!
As Founder of Wings Over Haiti sice the earthquake we are commited to social, economic and educational change from the ground up. It is clear that all factor including dignity have to be addressed simultaneously and on a grassroots basic to effect change in Haiti. For Haitians to help themselves, we first buy land and drill for clean water, establish community gardens before we build ours schools and train for employment.
I congratulate President Michel Martelly for his efforts to develop his country. I thank Dr. Paul Farmer and Ms. Donna Karan for their supports to the country, especially, Dr. Farmer, whom I have a lot respect for. I would like to discuss with Mr. Piers Morgan and/ or his producer about a simple plan that can help building Haiti. By now, it is obvious that money alone and Just a President cannot do anything for the country. Yes, it can produce more Haitian and other millionaires and more corruptions. My plan will help Haiti to sustain and progress and produce on its own. I am the author of the book, "I Sat Where You Sit" joelesperance.tateauthor.com. Born in Haiti in 1953 and lived in US 30 years and in Saudi Arabia 2 years.
My plan will deal with: Social Education (Respect, Integrity, Honesty, and Character) Food and Security, then Increase Security and Decrease Corruptions, and create WORK for all. It may sound easy, but the technique is VERY complex. Otherwise, THEY would have done it. I do not have to be on TV, please give me the chance to speak with someone, if anyone really cares about Haiti.
Thank you
Joel Esperance, AAs, BS, MBA
The article should be updated to note that the earthquake occurred on January 12, 2010.
The Fashion of Rebuilding
President Paul Kagame all the way.He has what it takes to advise Haiti....Rwanda went to hell and back,he oversaw the resurrection and still going.Bravo PK
Certainly there are good lessons that Haiti can learn from Rwanda but I think there is a big difference between Haiti and Rwanda that is being overlooked. Rwanda has built his way up on the back of resources from the DRC. Millions of people have died and numerous reports are available, and President Kagame will soon or later have to answer theses charges. He has so far succeeded his propaganda with the support of some western governments including the British but this is only for a time because the truth is stubborn.
It is obvious that you are from the region of the great lake. I don't care whether you are rwandan or not, you are trying to say that the Rwandan gov't is running because of DRC resource if so you are just an Idiot. If there was good policies in place and being put in place rwanda wont be where it is right now. Secondly I think you know less about Haiti, before the earthquake haiti"s past leaders have long history of corruption whereas in Rwandan there is no corruption. Haitian will overcome all the challenges they are currently facing as long as their leaders stay focused on the goals of building the country not building their foreign bank accounts( stealing the country).
Thanks Mobutu,
I totally support you analysis and response to Aimé. Being focused on a vision of rebuilding a nation, developing sound social policies( pro-poor policies) and having an ancre on good governance, this is the only way to go for a country like Haiti and it is the route President Kagame have privileged.
If only resources could build a nation,I don't think DRC will be in trouble today. If Rwanda is rebuilding itself with DRC resources, why is that DRC cannot rebuilt and stabilize with its resources? Does it mean that Congolese don't know that they have resources?
It looks like the death toll could be so much higher too I relaly hope not. If haiti was not so poor in relation to us rich nations she may not have been as badly affected. More money, & good governance means safer buildings. Same happened in china last year for a smaller earthquake. The western world needs to take responsibility and help in everyway possible for real prevention work as much as aid. If every person gives just $20 dollars that could add saving many more thousands of lives.
I think Morgan Freeman should stick to acting. At least he knows about that. Tea Party members are not racists and the reason we want Obama out of the White House is that he is a socialist, undoubtedly as is Freeman. They are ruining this beautiful country. Freeman might remember what this country has done for him with a lot of tea partiers' dollars.
I would like to speak to Ms Karan about my film Seven Days in Haiti – a film on the best and brightest of Haiti which features exclusive content and interviews with Haitian President Michel Martelly
I red some very delusional comments on here . There 's no comparaison between Rwanda and Haiti , two different ball
games. Geopolitic play a big role in these countries situation. Haiti is surrounded by ex-euro colonies where white elites rules. there's rift between the mass and the elites backed by western powers. Haiti have no way out , they will have to follow what the neo-liberal agenda of the US/IMF/EU . We had a president elected and he was kidnaped by France and the US. Rwanda had an ethnic civil war backed by EUROS. Rwanda will have more chance than haiti, they are not surrounded by euro elites living in africa. China is investing billions in africa, they do not need the authorization of the EU.
Even though that they dont want to see China influence in Africa. China is growing at eht moment in Latin america and the Caribbean but it will never reach to the point where they are in Africa, probably one day but not now. France owes Haiti 22 billions plus reparations . That was addressed by the haitians , next thing you know , they threat that they will have a blood bath in Haiti. Paul Kagame can t help haiti in anyway. Paul should help Rwanda and other african nation get on their feet not haiti. There s not leaders in haiti, only the elite rules. the only way haiti will work is by letting western powers , the elite of haiti and the haitian people to let haiti govern itself without illegal intervention /or a latin american union that will ensure a real democracy across the region without having any risk of another nation violating the rule of law .i'm putting my hope in the haitian diaspora and haiti allies Venezuela ,Cuba, Ecuador, Bolivia. I support a Latin american union like the euro union.

Television is a big part of most of our lives. We watch it to relax; we watch it when we're bored; we watch it live; we watch it recorded; we watch it on our computers, phones, and tablets; in short, we watch it all the time. In fact, the average American watches over 35 hours of TV a week, according to The Nielsen Company. Now, television is great; don't get me wrong. It can be both entertaining and informative, but it can also cost you—both directly and indirectly. Television, commercials in particular, directly influence our purchasing habits, and it also represents a significant sunk opportunity cost. But how much does television consumption really cost us? And how can we limit the financial impact?
Opportunity Cost
The 298 million Americans with televisions watch roughly 158 hours and 25 minutes of TV per month, according to Nielson's Three Screen Report, which measures television consumption on TVs, the Internet and mobile devices. That's over 5 hours a day and 2,000 hours each year. The federal minimum wage, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, is $7.25 per hour. The average American therefore loses out on at least $14,500 in potential earnings each year simply by watching TV.
With that 14+ K you could buy a brand new 2017 Toyota Yaris or Hyundai Accent. You could buy 14 round-trip tickets to Europe. You could pay a year's rent in a luxury apartment building. You could pay for the average American adult's annual gas consumption seven times over. Or you could just watch TV.
SEE ALSO: Change Makes You Richer
Real Cost
There is also a direct correlation between television and spending. For every 10 hours of television we watch, we spends $40 more than he would otherwise, according to research presented on syndicated radio host John Tesh's radio show and website. The main reason for this direct correlation between television and spending: the commercials. Watch enough commercials, and you'll see something you want. Or, if not, you'll at least see enough imagery of people buying things that you'll naturally want to join in.
However, in light of the more than 2,000 hours of TV Americans watch a year, by doing so you're costing yourself another $8,000 each year just because you watch television. Viewed together with the aforementioned opportunity cost, we leave over $22,500 on the table each year just by watching TV. With that nearly $23,000 you could get a brand new 2017 Volkswagen Jetta or Chevy Cruze. You could buy 23 round-trip tickets to Europe. You could pay nearly two years rent in a luxury apartment. You could pay for the average American's gas expenses 11 times over.
No one is saying not to watch television. TV can be a beneficial leisure activity, but when you consider your consumption comprehensively, it's clear that cutting back a little wouldn't be the worst thing in the world either. Just think about what watching TV is costs. You really can do a lot in 2,000 hours and buy a lot with $14,500. So, once in a while, instead of picking up the remote, try something a little different. It might even save you some money.

Lost Reference to Enterprise Bean in EJB 3.0 on Netbeans 6.0 (1 messages)
Help! I have a problem that I cannot seem to resolve, I have created an Enterprise application in EJB 3.0 Consisting of Two EJB's and 126 Helper classes, and 25 to 30 JSF web pages. The product is running in Sun application Server 9.1u Glassfish V2. In the Server Tree Root Enterprise Application I am showing the the Root context for the Web application, and the Enterprise Bean, when I open th Java Source and select Enterprise Resource from the menu and Select Call Enterprise bean, select the Bean, I get this message "Enterprise bean does not support reference". What is Going on here ? Must I resort to using Context lookup in order to get a reference to the beans.

Sorry for seeing this late. I saw the same problem when I attempted to reference the bean using the Local Interface, when I should have been trying to use the Remote Interface. I hope this point you in the right direction. Tony McClay

An International Railway owner/operator maintains a large through fill in the Northern Plains and over time the steep fill had sloughed and eroded. Railroad maintenance forces had installed retaining walls consisting of large stones retained by timber piles in the upper portion of the fill. Over time, those piles began to rotate and were weakened by grass fires in the area.
The only practical access to the fill site was over the tracks from either end. However, with clear track times averaging 15 minutes, traditional construction techniques such as drilled soil nails were not feasible. Moreover, any construction technique that would destabilize the track area during the construction process (like traditional drilled soil nails) would not be appropriate. GeoStabilization's engineers designed an array of launched soil nails on either side of the tracks, which were then faced with reinforced shotcrete.
Launched soil nails have a reload time of approximately 90-120 seconds, which allowed multiple nails to be installed during the short track time windows. Additionally with no open hole drilling or waiting for grout to set up, launched nails immediately are able to accept load at their installation. This allowed the railroad operator to continue service on the track with no downtime or safety concerns during the construction process.

How to Smoke a Duck?
Special occasions and holidays are more memorable with fantastic food on the table. Those who like excellently prepared meat knows that smoked duck tastes great. If you would want to try something elegant and a little bit different, then this recipe is right for you.
Flavorful, rich, slow-cooked duck is a perfect dinner that will surely please you. Making it properly takes a little time and effort, but with the high-rated electric smoker and this recipe, it will be easy to prepare it. When you try it for the first time, you will be amazed at its delicious taste.
If you want to know more about how to smoke a duck, all you have to do is read on and follow our instructions.
Duck Meat
When cooking a whole chicken or turkey, you need to balance the doneness of the lean white meat of the breasts and dark leg meat. The great thing about duck is that it is all dark meat which makes it easier to cook. All you need for the smoking process is the right heat to dissolve the fat properly.
So, to prepare this meal adequately, it needs a higher temperature. We recommend to smoke it at 300 to 325 degrees F. The minimum heat is 165 degrees F, which is the same as for other poultry. Just track the temperature during smoking, and verify its pull heat so you can get a good quality cooked meat.
Bear in mind that the meat can look pink, even when it is adequately prepared. If you have a thermometer to measure the right temperature and monitor it, then you shouldn't worry. And because of the duck's size, it won't take long to be done. It will be ready for about two to three hours, depending on the smoker you have.
Needless to say that this meat is also very nutritious and healthy.
"The nutrient value of the duck food is really surprising. The meat encapsulates a number of important nutrients and minerals including phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium. In terms of the vitamins, it contains niacin, folate, Vitamin E, K, and B together with a number of other nutriments. At the same time, the duck is also considered to be a rich source in terms of its protein value." according to The Poultry Guide.
- Whole duck, 5 – 6 lb.
- 2 tbsps. Honey
- 1 small, quartered onion
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 small, quartered mandarin oranges
- Pepper and salt to season the meat
For Glaze
- 1 tbsp. molasses
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsps. Orange juice
- Zest of orange (only of one)
- Pinch of pepper and salt
Make sure to have the thermometer and meat probes so you can monitor the temperature and cooking process. Use a cherry or apple wood chunks or chips for smoke.
First, you need to prepare duck the day before. Trim the neck's skin leaving about the one-inch flap, and remove the wing's tips. Also, you need to remove the giblets from the cavity of the duck and use paper towels to pat it dry. Slash or pierce the skin, through the layer of fat so that you can render it out. Don't go through the meat.
Brush the meal with one tbsp. soy sauce and two tbsps. Honey. Use pepper and salt to season the duck on all its sides. With onion and quartered mandarin, stuff the cavity of the duck. Place the poultry in the refrigerator and leave it overnight, without covering so it can dry brine. It may seem like a lot of work, but don't worry, you will love the result.
When you are ready to smoke the duck, set up your electric smoker at 300 to 325 degrees F and add wood chunks or chips into it. Use cherry or apple wood to add that fruity, delicious flavor to the meat. Put a water pan under the cooking grate of a smoker to catch any drips and to create a humid environment.
Close the door of the unit and leave the smoke to develop. That will probably take twenty minutes or more. In the meantime, prepare the glaze for the meal. In a bowl mix pepper, salt, orange zest, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, molasses and honey. Use this glaze to brush it all over the meat.
In the center of the duck's breast, set the meat probe. Place the poultry onto the grate, in the smoker, and attach the meat probe to the thermometer. This way you will know exactly what is happening to the meal you are smoking.
Remove the meat from the unit and leave it to rest for about fifteen to twenty minutes. After this step, it is time to serve the duck. When it is perfectly cooked, it will be juicy and tender. The meat has a rich flavor that everyone will adore. We must admit that this is one of the best meals that you can serve for some occasion or holiday dinner.
Duck Smoking Time
A smoked duck will take you about two to three hours, depending on the type of smoker you are using, its temperature and the weight of the meat. You can place aluminum foil over the food for the last thirty minutes to speed up the smoking process. That will help if the internal temperature of your appliance can't quickly reach the right temperature.
As we said earlier the minimum temperature needs to be 165 degrees F. And if you want your duck to be adequately cooked, than we recommend to smoke it at 300 to 325 degree.
The Conclusion
When prepared in a quality electric smoker, the duck is a fantastic meal you can serve your family and friends. We are sure that this delicious smoked meat will be their new favorite recipe because it tastes incredible. It might take some effort and time to prepare, but it is worth it. The great thing is that you can just set up your appliance and let it do the job for you. Bon appetite!

The Economic and Strategic Motives for Antidumping Filings
This paper takes a critical look at the trends in worldwide antidumping (AD) case filings during the last two decades. We examine the motives for AD filings by countries in an attempt to identify whether economic or strategic concerns are driving the recent upsurge in AD use. We begin by providing a comprehensive overview of the data on cases initiated in the 1980 to 1998 period. We then use non-parametric methods to identify national motivations for the use of antidumping. Results show considerable support for the importance of strategic concerns in driving AD case filings. This suggests that the rise in AD activity cannot be solely explained by an increase in unfair trading practices.

Friends of Crow Wood Park & Memory Lane Cafe organised The Great Get Together in Crow Wood Park as part of the series of events taking place up & down the country in memory of Jo Cox.
One of Jo's friends, Halifax MP Holly Lynch got proceedings underway where families took part in lots of traditional games such as "Hook-a-Duck", "Tin-Can-Alley", "Lucky Lolly", Play Your Cards Right", "Sack Race", " Hula Hoops", with one brave man agreeing to have wet sponges thrown at him! In glorious sunshine hundreds of people brought their own picnics and those who didn't were lucky as local Tesco stores provided some food for them free of charge as well as supplying free tea/coffee/juice all afternoon! Live music was provided by the Bradford Ukulele band and it's a long time since the park has seen an event of this size.
The organisers would like to thank all those who helped in any way including our Halifax Central Community Wardens, Jonny & Zameer.

The Downfall of Physical Media: A Story of Nostalgia and Cloud-Based Contemplation
Every year a different form of physical media seems to fade into obsolescence. Records are replaced by CD's, which would be replaced by MP3 downloads, replaced then by subscription based streaming. This evolutionary path paints a clear picture of the shift to a future where everyone can enjoy what they want without needing to own any physical media to access content. I have personally held a Google Play Music subscription for over a year now and have been loving everything it brings to the table and all it allows me to do regarding my music library. While this digital age is more convenient than ever with the cloud hanging overhead, it is good to take a step back and acknowledge both the positives and negatives of internet and subscription based services that replace physical media. It is also important to pay respects to physical media, even if just for nostalgia's sake, as it still does offer functionality and even some advantages over web-based counterparts. Here is a quick breakdown on the plus and minus of subscription and internet platforms replacing physical media.
The Negatives
This post will start off with the negatives so the latter half can be a happy fun time. The first and most apparent downside to subscription-based media is that the customer doesn't actually own any of the content they are consuming. With music, whether it be Spotify, Google Play, or any other service, the customer opens the floodgates to the vast library of media that whichever company pays to host. Being able to search for any song, listen freely to custom stations, and even download content is amazing every time, but once it comes time to cancel a subscription or a service simply shuts down, all of the content enjoyed is jerked from the grasp of the listener. Despite paying an undisclosed amount per month to enjoy the media, and that subscription payment totaling to some large amount of money, none of the content is personally owned by the customer and leaves as soon as the money stops flowing. While this fact is just plainly obvious and is part of the product, the success of these kinds of platforms shows that we may be moving towards a future in which customers don't own any of the media they consume and merely pay to access it. Because of this, customers are at the mercy of the service they pay for. The same goes for movie and show streaming with services such as Netflix and Hulu. If the servers holding this content go down, there is no way to access it, and the customer is shut out from the content they pay for without much insurance. While this is a non-issue for most, as the model makes sense, it can still be bad for long-term consumers. If more physical media is forced into obsolescence by these types of services, customers will find themselves in a position where they have paid potentially thousands of dollars over the course of years for streaming with nothing to show for it after the service ends.
Moving to digital downloads it is much of the same. Currently, customers are pretty safe when it comes to music or video downloads, as a downloaded copy can be copied indefinitely and can even be put onto physical media by the consumer. However, this is not true for other forms of media such as video games. With a stark necessity to counter piracy and other forms of tomfoolery in the realm of digital downloads, many digital games have heavy DRM implemented. This will prevent users from being able to access the content without purchase but also adds a requirement to use some sort of third-party software to access the games purchased. Once a game is downloaded it is hard to stray from the software too, since separating the game from the software that validates ownership, such as moving it onto a disc, can in some cases render the game unplayable as it will be no better than a pirated version that is recognized as unverified. Personally, I have amassed a library of PC games close to 100 on steam alone. While that isn't massive by any means it is still a large chunk of money put into this digital content. In order to play, though, the game must be downloaded through steam, and since it is tied to my account, steam must be installed and functional in order to run most games. What happens if Steam as a service goes out of business? It is unlikely, but if this situation was to arise it would seem that the thousands of dollars of content bound to Steam accounts would be rendered worthless as the service is required to run these purchased pieces of software. I like to tell myself that if this happened Valve would release some sort of tool that would allow users to legitimately remove Steam DRM and own their downloaded games as separate entities, but it is impossible to be sure as services such as Steam are only gaining popularity as physical releases of PC games, in particular, are becoming less and less common.
Another less intrusive, but definitely existent, issue is the loss of quality when relying on streaming media. For example, the music streamed through a service like Spotify is bottlenecked. Spotify doesn't stream full quality audio as it would be fairly harsh on mobile data or even some wifi connections as well as introduce longer load times. This means that the audio heard through a streaming service can be of substantially lower quality compared to a CD release played at full quality through a good player and software. The same goes for movies. While it is now possible to stream 4k video and such, it is extremely taxing on internet connections and is out of reach for most consumers. This negative in particular, though, is part of the reason why physical media does have some life left and is even making a comeback in some regards.
The Positives
While that was quite the rant on why streamed and internet based media can be a bad thing, it is time to dive into the good stuff, and why I personally enjoy all of this web-based content despite how it could be a misguided investment in the long run.
First and foremost is convenience. As I had mentioned in the intro to this article, the features that a Google Play Music subscription, as well as similar services, offer are truly bliss to work with. The straightforwardness of searching for a song or show and receiving the content instantly makes life easy and makes interacting with content fun in a way. Every time I do end up with a few days and no music subscription, due to failed payment method or otherwise, it is painful being able to only access what I have owned previously and have currently downloaded on my devices or personal servers. That and playing stations with ads can be hellish. In this sense, subscriptions have a great value, even if it is only great in short term. While I could probably physically own a significant portion of my favorite music by now with the money I have been paying monthly, it is the instant gratification that sells the service. For whatever reason, it is easier to pay monthly to access all music for the time being than paying $10 once to own a certain album or movie forever.
Media being internet-based also allows the opportunity for updates and add-ons. This is especially relevant to the world of video games, as patches and new content to already released games can be a very positive thing overall. While the convenience of this potential does sometimes result in broken games being released as well as cash grab DLC, the ability to receive updates and support for a piece of software or game already purchased is extremely useful and important.
Physical Media: Nostalgia and Reliability
Moving away from the cloud media discussion, we will move into the topic of physical media and why it is good to have around. The first reasons that come to mind are nostalgia and reliability. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling. It results in the amazing satisfaction of physically changing out discs or plugging pieces of hardware in. It brings back memories of when life was easy and carefree. It makes the simple act of rewinding a tape a joyride. However, this physical media isn't just a pass to jog down memory lane. This media from way back when is when built well, just as reliable and functional as it was back in the day. That DVD picked up for a few bucks out of a bargain bin a few years ago still plays just as well and will play for as long as it is physically intact. That iPod with thousands of classic tunes loaded onto it? Playable as long as the device works, and that content can still be moved around and enjoyed via other devices. The fact that physical media is physically owned by the consumer and works as long as it resides functionally in this plane of existence makes physical media worth it. Even if some people just hold onto it for sentimental value, physical media can and does still have a place in the home and tech setup as it will just work.
Physical Media: Resurgence and the Vintage Comeback
Owning physical media in this day and age isn't just limited to old VCR's and the stack of CD's sitting in most peoples' garages as new physical media is being produced and older media has been making a comeback. Getting the hipster vintage collection thing out of the way, yes it is real and happening as it has been for years, and for good reason. While in some ways it is simply a hip trend, it is also practical. The quality available from physical releases of content is currently unmatched by streaming digitally. I've started to focus somewhat on collecting CD's as it is a way to physically see the music I own all in one place and ensures that the content sitting on a shelf in my room will remain playable no matter when my debit card runs dry from feeding Google Play or when any other services inevitably come to a close. The same goes for collecting records, DVD's, or even taking pictures on polaroid. Keeping a physical collection of these pieces of content that we all hold dear is still important and ensures it will be accessible at the consumer's own will rather than the will of the service provider.
Purchase and collection of vintage media, as well as more recent media, isn't the only way physical media is making a comeback. In certain areas of entertainment, physical media is continuing to improve. Newer Blu-rays are capable of holding and playing content of a quality that is equivalent or surpasses the highest quality of streamable media without having to worry about a network bottleneck. CD's play audio with just as good quality as ever and most artists do release physically on both CD and vinyl despite a large amount of the audience relying on subscriptions or even services like YouTube for their audio needs. In the console world, most games are still released physically as it is much more simple and gratifying to see the disc containing a game a consumer has dumped $60 on. While video games all around are purchased through digital more and more each year, the fact that current gen consoles do still rely on a built-in Blu-ray drive and are serviced with physical content gives hope for physical media sticking around, even on a small scale.
Overall physical media is still great. While the convenience of streaming content and not having to think about physically owning media is compelling, CD's, DVD's, and all the others, still have a place in society and do offer some benefits to consumers whether it be the security of owning content or simply keeping it for sentiment.

Coolio's oldest son — who appeared on the family reality show "Coolio's Rules" –is locked up in a Nevada jail … after allegedly teaming up with a Vegas hooker to rob some dude at gunpoint.
TMZ has learned … 22-year-old Grtis Ivey (who went by "Artis" on the reality show) … was arrested on November 14, 2011 for allegedly busting into a Vegas apartment with a gun and forcing the tenant into the bathroom … while he and a female prostitute named Shantrice Wilkerson ransacked the place.
But the back story is INSANE.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ … Shantrice was trollin' at LAX nightclub at the Luxor on October 26 … and met a guy named Joseph Hall … who didn't know she was a call girl.
The two hit it off … and Wilkerson told him that she had a "dream" of having sex on a pile of money.
Hall asked if $5,000 was OK … she agreed … and the two eventually went back to Hall's apartment to grab the cash out of a safe.
According to the report, the two bounced to Wilkerson's pad to do the deed … but before it went down, Wilkerson asked for money … and Hall flipped out and left.
But cops say, Wilkerson REMEMBERED where Hall lived … and brought Grtis to the place 3 days later so they could rob it.
According to the report … Grtis entered the pad with a gun … and ordered Hall's rooommate into the bathroom while he and the hooker stole a safe, 2 iPads, 2 laptops, passports, and anything else that wasn't nailed down.
Cops say the roommate was able to identify Coolio's son and the hooker — and both were arrested on a slew of charges including robbery with a deadly weapon, first degree kidnapping and grand larceny.
Both Grtis and Wilkerson told cops they never brought a gun to the apartment … and Wilkerson admitted to stealing some of the stuff.
Grtis is being held without bail … and is due to face a judge on Monday.
Like father, like son …
TMZ has learned rapper Coolio was arrested in Las Vegas today … and is currently behind bars at the same jail as his kid.
Law enforcement tells TMZ … Coolio was a passenger in a Nissan Versa which was pulled over for a routine traffic violation early Friday morning.
We're told the cops ran Coolio's name in the system and noticed he had 2 active bench warrants out for his arrest stemming from multiple traffic violations.
Coolio was arrested and hauled to Clark County Detention Center — the same place where his son Grtis is rotting away for allegedly robbing some dude at gunpoint a few months ago.
Coolio's bail has been set at $5,850. A court date has not yet been set.
