Win10XPE is a Windows 10 based rescue environment. This is a procedure showing how to make your own PE environment including Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro, so you can use it to recover data from unbootable Windows installations.
This tutorial has been made under Windows 10 Pro x64. It should work with Vista, 7, 8.X and others 10 builds too.
Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro screen shot running under Win10XPE :
What you need :
- A computer running Windows Vista/7/8.X/10 32 or 64 bit.
- A genuine Windows 10 32 or 64 bit DVD or ISO file (a real one, not a proprietary restoration medium shipped with your computer). If you need to boot branded Windows 10 OEM computers with secure boot enabled, 64 bit version is recommended. If you do not have one, you can get a copy using Windows ISO Downloader.
- At least 8 GB free on your hard drive.
- Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro (You have to buy and download it in a first place)
In this tutorial, the used Drive will be E and 64bit Windows 10 1909 as source.
Step 1 :
Download Win10XPE from this page :
Step 2:
Extract the files to E:\ drive. You should have a folder named E:\Win10XPE (this is optional).
Step 3 :
Download the Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro script (right-click the link and select save target as).
Step 4 :
Save it folder "E:\Win10XPE\Projects\MyPlugins\Apps\System Tools"
Step 5 :
Create a "E:\SourceWin10x64" folder and copy the Windows 10 DVD content inside
Step 6 :
Run "E:\Win10XPE\Win10XPE.exe"
Step 7 :
Select the "Win10XPE" root on the left tree view, then, select the "E:\SourceWin10x64" folder :
Step 8 :
Select the "Build Core" script and make sure that the WoW64 Basic box is checked. This is required for Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro to run in 64 bit PE:
Step 9 :
Using the tree view on the left, select "Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro (Official plugin in English)" under "Win10XPE\Apps\System Tools" and check its box.
Step 10 :
Specify the Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro folder using this button :
Optional but recommended: Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro should have been started at least once and activated using your order ID and email address used at purchase (you can find them on your order process receipt you got by email). Accept also the EULA (End user License Agreement). This will be saved in a configuration file that will be include to you PE build and avoid it from asking such information at each start.
Step 11 :
Specify your options : shortcuts options, running from ram or not. Leaving the "Run from ram" box unchecked is useful if you are building a USB boot media. This way, Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro files are not packed in the PE, so, you can update your program without recompiling.
Step 12 :
Build the Win10XPE ISO using the big Play button on the right corner :
You may be prompted for files download, let the builder download the files it needs or the build process will fail.
Step 13 :
If you are not building a USB bootable drive, burn the "Win10XPE_x64.ISO" or (Win10XPE_x86.ISO if you used a 32bit Windows 10 media) file inside the "E:\WIN10XPE" folder to a blank medium with you favorite CD/DVD burning software.
Step 14 : if you want to create a bootable USB drive instead of burning a CD/DVD:
- Plug a USB drive in your computer (a fast one if possible). Warning: this drive will be formated, so, please backup its content before going further!
- Select the "Create ISO" script and click the "Copy ISO to USB" button.
- If this boot media will be used to store backups, it is highly recommended to use NTFS file system instead of Fat32 because it can handle files larger than 4 GB. If you are using a hard drive/SSD, NTFS is the best option anyway.
- Select the USB drive to use in the drop down menu and click the "Copy To USB" button:
- Confirm and let it prepare your USB drive.
- Close the utility at the end of the process.
That is it. You now have a Windows 10 rescue boot CD or USB drive including Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro.

Every person goes through a denial phase during his/her lifetime especially girls. Some grow but feel like they want to be boys; some are forced to acquire the 'boy' character because of the environment. But those that realize their full potential go back to their original persona to exploit it to the fullest. These are some of the tomboys that turn out to be super hot celebs.
1. Janet Jackson
Janet has undergone a lot during her life. Catherine thought Janet as being much of a tomboy hence went ahead to enroll her to etiquette classes to change character, something that never worked. It's reported that Janet refused to attend the etiquette classes, even the charm school. But she has grown past her boy-like character because, when she was interviewed-2006, she is said to have said that she is a chameleon- part of her was appealing, another part is also very religious, part of her was a family girl, another part wild. She also said that she is a boyish in most things, but girly sometimes too. The funny part about her is that she liked wearing men's suits with high heels that defy gravity.
2. Kristen Stewart
This is a Twilight movie actress that has been caught many times wearing sneakers under her gown when she is at acting premieres. She had also gone on record when she revealed to Elle UK that she has always wanted to be a tomboy. Kristen wanted to look like her older brother when she was young. She lived hand-me-downs but always wore his clothes. This is a lady that proved that tomboys can be cute too when the actress by Glamour was voted as the Best Dressed -2012.
3. Mila Kunis
She is rated as being the most sensual woman who ever lived -the year 2012 but what most people don't know is that she was a self-proclaimed boy-like as a young girl who grew up in Ukraine. Mila revealed that she has an elder brother who she was always playing with when she was between 3-5 years as directed by her parents. She grew up from a small town in Ukraine where kids used to play football around the neighborhood. After breakfast, you could be kicked out of the house so that you go playing with the boys, when you could come back, you will be completely scrapped up at the same starving. She adapted to the manlike character as quickly as that because most people that surrounded her at the time were boys.
4. Fergie
Fergie had lost her sense of being feminine until the pop star's edginess helped her land her gig with Black Eyed Peas. She says that when she joined the Peas, she never wanted to wear skirts. She even confessed to MTV that she had no girly mood at all. Although the 'Hey Mama persuaded her', she never ditched her manlike persona.
5. Anna Chlumsky
Chlumsky is known by contemporary audiences due to her role that she played -HBO'S Veep where she stars along with Seinfeld Alum. But those that were her fans -the 1990s will tell you a different story because they know her through the breakout role that she played of an 11-year old tomboy. He earned her degree, later he entered into the working world before emerging from her cocoon ready to re-enter Hollywood.
6. Jessica Biel
She became known for her rebellious streak during the filming of the 90's hit series after casting the role of Mary. Jessica even once cut her hair super short that is even dyed it blond. She blames her carefree attitude to her relaxed rural home upbringing. Her parents were travelling people, she once said to the W Magazines that her Barbie dolls were always naked and decided one time to cut their heads off, cut their hair, stuck them on Christmas lights. Although she is labeled as a tomboy, she is also beautiful.
7. Alyssa Milano
She first stepped into America's living rooms -1984 as an 11-year old girl Samantha Micelli on ABC's, Who's the Boss. Alyssa appeared alongside well-known actors Tony Danza with Judith Light. She did not agree to the fact that people were nicknaming her a tomboy. But over the course of eight seasons, viewers have watched her grow, blossom from a pony tail-tail-wearing into a hot siren that would go on and star on other films. The fact, she has turned out to be one of the most beautiful stars in Hollywood.
8. Scarlett Johansson
Scarlet has beaten all the odds even voted as the hottest woman alive in 2013, but that was not a title that came easily. She epitomized a boy-like character when she was in her Holly-wood debut – 1991 along screen legend Robert Redford. Those that wanted to identify her from her childhood photos would not compare it with the present. She was a tough tomboy that has grown up to be a beautiful star.
9. Miley Cyrus
Miley always felt that far cry that came from the glamorous Hannah Montana that was the actress and a recording artist of hit Disney Channel series. The reality is that Cyrus was always a tomboy; hence could more closely relate to Hannah Montana's friend Lilly Truscott. At the age of 22, things have turned to her direction because she has turned into an appealing woman that can pass through all the nakedness, crotch shots, tongue displays. She portrays the beauty that is termed as one of the best.
10. Reese Witherspoon
Most people will not agree that this is a pampered princess that feature's 'Legally Blonde' who convincingly portrayed a 14-year old tomboy in 1991. She isn't a tomboy anymore because she has embraced her feminine side. So, those that want to watch her, you have the chance to do it because you will be seeing a person that has transformed beauty to a new level.
Being the person that you were created to be is the sweetest thing life. The above ladies had a denial stage their lives but after some time things turned out to be better for them. They are now some of the most celebrated women on this world.

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oils used in diesel engines, in any proportion with petroleum diesel, or pure. It is produced by chemical processes, usually by transesterification, in which the glycerin is removed. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of a four stroke, four cylinder diesel cycle engines using either olive (B100) biodiesel oil or diesel oil. The following parameters were analyzed: effective and reduced power, torque, specific and hourly fuel consumption, thermo-mechanical and volumetric efficiency. Analysis of variance was performed on a completely randomized design with treatments in factorial and the Tukey test applied at the level of 5%. Five rotation speeds were researched in four replications (650, 570, 490, 410, 320 and 240 rpm). The engine fed with biodiesel presented more satisfactory results for torque, reduced power and specific and hourly consumptions than that fed with fossil diesel.
Index terms: Alternative fuel, energy efficiency, combustion engine.
Biodiesel é um combustível renovável derivado de óleos vegetais, usado em motores de ciclo diesel, em qualquer proporção com o diesel mineral, ou puro. É produzido por meio de processos químicos, normalmente por transesterificação, no qual é removida a glicerina. Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho de um motor de ciclo diesel quatro tempos e quatro cilindros, utilizando biodiesel de óleo de oliva (B100), em comparação ao óleo diesel. Foram analisados os parâmetros: potência efetiva e reduzida, torque, consumo específico e energético de combustível, eficiência termomecânica e volumétrica. Foi instalado um ensaio com delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC) em esquema fatorial, realizada análise de variância e aplicado teste de Tukey, a 5%. Foram pesquisados cinco níveis de rotação em quatro repetições (650, 570, 490, 410, 320 e 240 rpm). O motor alimentado com biodiesel de oliva apresentou torque, potencia reduzida e consumos especifico e horário com resultados mais satisfatórios que o diesel fóssil.
Termos para indexação: Combustível alternativo, eficiência energética, motor de combustão.
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oils such as sunflower, castor oil plant (Ricinus communis), soybean, babassu palm (Attalea speciosa) and other oil seed plants, or from animal fats, used in diesel cycle engines, in any proportion with mineral diesel, or pure. It is produced by chemical processes, normally by transestherification, where the glycerin is removed. As alcohol used is to substitute gasoline in Otto cycle engines, biodiesel substitutes diesel oil in diesel cycle engines, with the advantage of not requiring mechanical adaptations. While the use of other clean fuels, such as natural gas or biogas and ethylic alcohol, requires adaptation, diesel combustion does not and it is a technical alternative that can serve all the existing vehicle fleet powered by diesel oil and also presents high energetic yield.
According to Law No. 9478/97, biofuel is the fuel derived from renewable biomass, for use in internal combustion engines or, depending on the regulation, for other types of energy generation that can partially or completely substitute fossil fuels.
Biodiesel production from crude vegetable oils has been the target of several studies in recent decades. In Brazil, the institution of the National Vegetable Oil Program Institution (OVEG, 1985) allowed tests to be carried out with vegetable oils of various chemical compositions and degrees of saturation. The main oils tested in this investigation were the derivatives of macaúba palm (Acrocomia aculeata), barbados nut (Jatropha curcas), indaiá palm (Attalea dubia), moriche palm (Mauritia flexuosa), pequi (Caryocar brasiliense), castor oil plant (Ricinus communis), soybean (Glycine max), babassu palm (Attalea speciosa), cotieira (Joannesia princeps Vell.), tingüí (Magonia glabrata) and pupunha palm (Bactris gasipas).
According to Costa Neto (2000), the assessment of the carburant quality of vegetable oils requires the analytical determination especially of their calorific power, cetane index, distillation curve, viscosity and mist point Torres et al. (2006) tested a monocylinder stationary Agrale engine, model M-85 with 7.36 kW power and detected no significant differences regarding the use of diesel oil and biodiesel (B100) with very close results. The specific fuel consumption with B100 was approximately 20% greater than with diesel oil, the CO2 emissions were practically unaltered, but the CO emissions were much greater for the 4 kW power. The results showed the immediate possibility of substituting diesel oil with biodiesel as fuel in low power stationary engines.
Ferrari et al. (2007) use an electricity generator and soybean biodiesel obtained by oil transestherification with anhydrous ethanol in the presence of an NaOH Alkali catalyser, with 57% yield in the manufacture process. The portions of 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% to commercial diesel oil were tested and the average consumption, in L.h-1 in operation, in equipment kept under the same operating conditions. Decrease was observed in fuel consumption of 3.7% for B5, 5.9% for B10, 1.6% for B20 and there was a small increase in consumption in the other mixes.
Corrêa et al. (2008) evaluated the use of sunflower biodiesel blends (B5, B10, B20 and B100) and fossil diesel in a IC engine, direct injection. Was analyzed the performance of engine through power take-off (PTO) for each fuel. The lubricating oil was analyzed before and after period of 96 hours with B100. The results showed that the use of blends B5, B10, B20 and B100 decreased the power of PTO maximum 2,2% and increased the fuel consumption maximum 7,3%. The analyze of lubricating oil showed that the viscosity, water content and level of iron were the parameters more affected, although it had been acceptable.
Barbosa et al. (2008) evaluating the performance of an engine fueled with diesel oil and mineral mixtures with the proportion of biodiesel equivalent B2 (98% mineral diesel and 2% biodiesel), B5 (95% mineral diesel and 5% biodiesel), B20 (80% diesel mineral and 20% biodiesel) and B100 (100% biodiesel), concluded that the increased engine power respoectivamente the B100 to mineral diesel, however, in reverse order, the thermal efficiency of the diesel diminished mineral mixtures for growing biodiesel, and 4% lower for B100.
Volpato et al. (2009) tested the performance of a cycle diesel engine using biodiesel from soy oil (B100), as compared to fossil diesel. Where analyze the effective power and reduced power, rise, specific and energy consumption of fuel, efficiency term-mechanics and volumetric. The accomplished showed the viability of operation of a diesel engine with fuels substitute for soy oil (B100).
Nietiedt et al. (2011) evaluated the use of different blends of soybean methyl biodiesel (B10, B50 e B100) in comparison to the commercial diesel B5, with 5% of biodiesel added to the fossil diesel. The engine performance was analyzed trough the tractor power take off (PTO) for each fuel, The best performance occurred with the use of B5 and B10 fuel, without significant differences between these blends. The B100 fuel showed significant differences compared to the other fuels.
The study was carried out in the Laboratory of Agricultural Machinery and Mechanization at the Department of Engineering at the Federal University of Lavras. An experiment was set up in a complete randomized design in a 2 x 6 factorial, with two types of fuel and six engine rotation speeds, with four replications.
The treatments used were commercial diesel oil and olive biodiesel (B100) at six engine rotation speeds: 650, 570, 490, 410, 320 and 240 rpm, that is, 100, 88, 75%, 63, 49 and 37% of the maximum rotation, respectively.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Turkey test at 5% were carried out using the Sisvar® computer program in the parameters of torque, effective power and hourly fuel consumption in function of the rotation at the tractor start up (TSU).
The diesel oil used in the experiments was obtained in the local automobile supply network. The biodiesel used was obtained from the Biodiesel Mill at Varginha with an ethylic base. The fuel specific mass and acidity index were determined in the Chemistry Laboratory at the Varginha Engineering Faculty in Varginha, MG. The higher calorific power was determined in the oil analysis laboratory at the Igarapé Thermal Electricity Plant, em Juatuba, MG, that is the property of Cemig. The dynamic and cinematic viscosity were obtained at the thermodynamic laboratory at the University of São Carlos - SP.
A new 275 Compact model Massey Ferguson tractor was used, with a four stroke, water cooled Perkins A4-4.1 model diesel oil cycle engine with an injection system with rotating pump, four cylinders in a line, total cylinder 4.100 cm3, with nominal power, according to the manufacturer, of 75 cv (56 kW), at 2.200 rpm.
The NBR ISO 1585 norm of the Brazilian Association of Technical Norms - ABNT (1996) was adopted to determine the torque values (N.m), RPM in TSU and power (kW). These were obtained using an AW Dynamometer dynamometer model NEB 200 (Figure 1A). The respective values of torque, power and rotation were shown on a dashboard digital display, shown in figure 1B.
The hourly engine fuel consumption was determined by an Oval flow meter, model LSN41, together with its display, that was calibrated for reading in liters per hour and 0.84 (g.cm-3) fluid specific mass. The lower calorific power (LCP) (kJ.kg-1) was determined by equation 1, from the higher calorific power (HCP) (kJ.kg-1) as according to Moreira (2007).
The effective power was shown directly on the display but it can be calculated as the torque T corresponding to the angular velocity by equation 2 (MIALHE, 1996).
He= effective power (kW);
T= torque (N.m);
N= angular speed (rpm).
The reduced power obtained in the TSU was recalculated according to equation 3 (ABNT, 1995).
Hr = reduced power (kW);
He = effective power (kW);
P1 = atmospheric pressure, at the time of the test (mm Hg);
P2 = standard atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg);
T1 = absolute temperature at the test (K);
T2 = absolute standard temperature NBR ISO 1585/1996 (298 K).
The torque was measured by determining the intensity of a force that, acting on the extremity of an arm, tended to produce rotating movement. In the case of continuous rotating movement, the torque was measured by the dynamometer (MIALHE, 1996).
Equation 4 was applied to determine the specific consumption, according to Mialhe, 1996.
Ce= specific fuel consumption [g.(kW.h)-1];
Ch = hourly fuel consumption (g.h-1);
He = effective power (kW).
The curves for the two fuels presented the same performance as the torque curve declared in the NBR ISO 1585/1996. The Tukey test for torque for the fuels (Table 1) showed that the results of the average for olive diesel (B100) were different from diesel oil.
Analysis of the torque effect in relation to the rotations (TSU) (Table 2) showed that the average values regarding the 240 and 570 rpm rotations did not differ statistically at 5% probability, nor for the average values at 490, 410 and 320 rpm.
The torque was measured using the polynomial expressions shown in figures 2 and 3 for the work rotation 540 rpm (TSU) that is, 85% of the maximum. For diesel oil, the torque at 540 rpm was 635.3 N.m and 688.84 N.m for olive B100 that is, 8.43% greater.
Table 3 shows the effective power average for the fuels tested. The results of the Tukey test at 5% probability showed that effective power for the fuels differed and the greatest value was attributed to diesel oil. It was further verified that the average power value for B100 was 12.7%, less comparatively to diesel oil, showing that these fuels presented technically satisfactory results.
When the effect of the effective power was analyzed in relation to the rotations (TSU), shown in table 4, it was observed that the average values for rotations from 490 and 570 rpm did not differ statistically at 5% probability, unlike the other average values.
Analysis of the results of the reduced power at the work rotation (540 rpm) indicated that olive TSU presented the best result (37.8 kW). At the same rotation, 24.9 kW was obtained for diesel oil that represented a gain of 28.57% compared to diesel oil. Figures 4 and 5 show that the reduced power tendency curves performed similarly to those presented by Oveg (1985).
Table 5 shows that the average hourly consumption values, for the fuels tested, differed by the Tukey test at 5% probability and the greater value was attributed to diesel oil. It was further verified that the average hourley consumption values of olive B100 were 30% less compared to diesel oil. It should be pointed out the tendency to low biodiesel consumption in engines with natural aspiration is due to the weakening of the mixture caused by it compared to diesel oil. However, it is a significant result in terms of specific consumption.
When the effect of hourly fuel consumption was analyzed in relation to the rotations (TSU), shown in table 6, the average values for the 490 and 570 rpm rotations did not differ statistically at 5% probability, unlike the other average values.
Then the results for specific fuel consumption were analyzed regarding work rotation (540 rpm), it was observed that diesel oil presented a higher average value of 258.84 g.(kW.h) -1. The olive B100 biodiesel presented the best result, 229.71 g.(kW.h) -1 or 12.68%. Figures 6 and 7 show the tendency curves for the specific consumption of the fuel used.
The tests performed showed the feasibility of operating a diesel cycle engine with olive biofuel (B100).
There was gain in torque with the use of biodiesel, that was 8.43% greater than diesel oil at the work rotation.
Olive biodiesel obtained better reduced power results than fossil diesel oil, and 28.57% greater than diesel oil at the work rotation.
Olive biodiesel presented lower specific and energetic consumption compared to diesel oil that was 12.8 and 30%, respectively, less at the work rotation.

In a world where 50% of the foods that people are buying in supermarkets are ultra-processed, we all need Fabio's.
Why? Well, consider this: Fabio Boni's products are 100% handmade and homemade. The gelatos are made 100% from scratch. They are 100% natural.
In the world of 50% fake foods, we need the 100% Good Guys. The guys who don't use emulsifiers. The guys who don't buy in industrial mixes. The guys who don't use hydrogenated fats.
And that's Fabio's. No fakes, just pure foods.
But it's not just goodness that Fabio's offers. It's also deliciousness, soulfulness, expertise, pleasure, delight. It's the art of gelato, the greatness of gelato, seen and explored in divine concoctions such as Florentine – lemon custard with Amaretti biscuit crumble; the fig and walnut; the pitch perfect Oreo; the banofee pie; the apple strudel with cinnamon and raisins; the pure pistachio; the pure liquorice.
Good coffees, of course, and charming service. Priceless.

We are now fully open for the 2020 season!
Located in an idyllic rural setting close to all amenities, the Log Village and Grist Mill Campground comprises 117 acres of mixed open field and woodland, five streams and two ponds. Six miles from the Vermont border and just 28 miles from the town of Lake George and the Adirondack State Park, the Campground is within easy driving distance to:
The village of East Hartford became part of the renamed Washington County after the American Revolution. The town still houses the recruiting office where 26 commissioned officers of the New York Infantry, veterans of the French and Indian War, were granted the Provincial Patent. People were so poor that the only way to survive was to build a Log Cabin using trees from the forest. None of those houses still exists but the Grist Mill where they milled their corn into flour is located on our land.
We are Hilary and Bob Oreschnick and we literally bought the farm (no pun intended) in 2009 after seeing it advertised whilst on holiday from York, England where we lived. We are committed to ensure that this site remains a top quality venture that will grow organically with our personal investment of time and energy.
The lovely old farmhouse, land, ponds, museum and Grist Mill had belonged to Floyd Harwood before we bought it in the fall of 2009. Our view was to bring the site back to life and to open it to the public as soon as possible.
We have now cleared away tons of old and broken farm equipment, mowed over five acres of ground, landscaped the gardens and restocked the ponds. The Campground is built with top quality Yurts, Mongolian style rigid tents, offering top quality beds, a kitchenette, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee maker and television with DVD player. The top quality restrooms and showers block also house the Laundry where you will find a coin operated washing machine and dryer.
The Wedding Barn at Log Village & Grist Mill is a sight to behold. Newly renovated with polished pine floors, post beams, twinkling lights and huge sliding barn doors that open onto ta large open deck. It's a great place for weddings and events of all kinds. Your wedding package gives you the whole site for 3 days and 2 nights and all yurt accommodation included. More details on the Wedding & Special Events tab.
Before the move to the U.S.A Hilary worked in schools, and led marketing efforts in a number of businesses. Bob is a nurse who has run a number of top quality hospitals, nursing homes and care-at-home companies in Europe. Bob was born in Minnesota, raised and educated in the States.
"Hilary was super welcoming by greeting us when we arrived and giving us a tour outside
the yurt as well as inside. She was so entertaining and super friendly. I appreciated that she
was flexible even when we had 2 people over the recommended capacity for one of the
yurts! The fridge was also filled with milk and ice cream! Yum!" P Chan via Airbnb
"This was our first glamping experience and from start to finish we loved it. Hilary did not disappoint with milk, cookies, water and ice cream available for our arrival. There are beautiful grounds to walk around and the yurts are very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to some of the adorable towns in Vermont is an added bonus." S Livingstone via Airbnb
"If I hadn't met my husband through Airbnb, I'd name this the best vacation/experience I've ever had. The yurts are exactly what you see here but you're only seeing one part of this beautiful property. The bathrooms are hotel level, the small yard with a grill & firepit next to each yurt are cute, the lake was just serene (don't be afraid to ask for a small boat to sail around for a bit) & Hilary + her dogs was the best host I've had through this website. I went with 6 other people & everyone was happy. If you don't mind a bit of a drive, you're not more than 40 minutes away from Lake George, Six Flags, and other big attractions. The small diner less than 5 minutes away is both cheap & delicious. I can't say anymore positive things other than we'll try to come back here again & don't forget the bug spray!"

Looking for a natural testosterone booster? Then you have to go through this TestoTEK Review before making a decision to purchase or not. Low testosterone levels can negatively impact your physical and mental health. As we have mentioned in previous articles, testosterone levels naturally decrease as men age, and there aren't many viable solutions.
If you've been searching for a natural testosterone boosting formula, look no further. TestoTEK testosterone booster will raise your testosterone levels without compromising your athletic performance or overall health, and it is for that reason that we honestly believe that this is one of the best supplements that we have reviewed to date.
TestoTEK Review – Does This Testosterone Booster Work?
In this article, we are going to cover the various benefits of using this supplement, as well as go over the ingredients that make up its fantastic formula.
What is TestoTEK Testosterone Booster?
It is a supplement that increases testosterone levels naturally and helps you build lean muscle, burn fat, increase your stamina, and restore your sex drive to its former glory.
According to TestoTEK reviews, it is one of the safest and most effective supplements that are readily available to consumers. It has already helped countless people with the safe restoration of testosterone levels that makes middle-aged men feel like twenty-year-olds again.
This product isn't just safe and effective, it's also quite cheap — certainly much cheaper than hormone replacement therapy and testosterone injections!
TestoTEK Benefits
TestoTEK utilizes natural ingredients to help you break through the walls that low testosterone levels build. You can get jacked, heighten your sex drive, and speed up your metabolism without having to deal with a plethora of side effects.
With so many benefits, it's hard to cover everything in a single paragraph, so let's go deeper into the numerous things that this supplement helps you with.
- Build muscle
The main benefit of using TestoTEK is the amount of lean muscle that you'll be able to build within a short amount of time. By using this supplement, you'll become strong, fast, and powerful in no time at all.
- Burn Fat
TestoTEK also helps your body burn fat faster. As your body melts away the stored fat, your muscles will become more apparent and give you that lean, muscled look that you've always wanted.
- Eliminate fatigue
As I already mentioned in this TestoTEK review, When you use it, you'll never have to worry about fatigue again. The supplement raises your energy levels to the point that allows you to stay productive after a tough workout.
- Enhance strength and stamina
The product enhances your strength and stamina so that you can successfully push through grueling workout routines instead of calling it quits halfway through.
- Boost overall health
While most supplements often do the opposite, TestoTEK even boosts your health as a whole by increasing organ function, amplifying motor skills, and improving cardiac health.
The TestoTek Ingredients
It uses multiple all-natural ingredients to increase the production of testosterone — as opposed to pumping synthetic hormones into your body. Let's have a look at what each ingredient does for you:
- Zinc
Zinc is a fundamental mineral when it comes to muscle growth. It also increases your focus and dopamine production.
- D aspartic acid
D aspartic acid is an amino acid that boosts your testosterone production.
- Tribulus fruit powder
Tribulus fruit powder in the TestoTEK helps you develop lean muscle, increase your testosterone levels, and even elevate your sex drive.
- Velvet bean seed powder
As mentioned in many TestoTEK reviews, Velvet bean seed powder boosts dopamine, raises your sperm count, and reduces cortisol levels.
- Stinging nettle root extract
Stinging nettle root extract works in conjunction with the other ingredients to increase testosterone levels and improve prostate health.
- Fenugreek seed powder
Fenugreek seed powder helps regulate testosterone levels in your body and makes it easier for you to build muscle.
- Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 is essential to hormone production and will boost your body's ability to generate testosterone.
- Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 suppresses the production of estrogen, and as a result, increases the production of testosterone.
Mucuna pruriens lowers levels of cortisol in your body — the glucocorticoid that destroys testosterone
- Vitamin K
Vitamin K amplifies Vitamin D's hormonal production effects.
- Oyster extract
Oyster extract is the highest natural source of Zinc and boosts your testosterone production while offering various other health benefits.
- Eleuthero root powder
Eleuthero root powder increases your stamina, raises your energy levels, and improves your body's blood flow.
How to use TestoTEK Testosterone Supplement?
The recommended TestoTEK dosage is four pills per day. For maximum safety, consult your doctor before using this supplement or any other supplement. Additionally, never exceed the recommended dosage volume.
TestoTEK availability and pricing
So, Where to buy TestoTEK? You can buy the supplement on the official website for the affordable price of only $69.99. There are bulk offers that can save you as much as $100 in a single order. You can also get a monthly subscription to get a15% off on TestoTEK price. There are 120 capsules in every bottle — enough to last a month. Shipping normally takes 1-2 weeks.

Pot Kettle Black
Alexis admits she isn't proud of some of her behavior this episode, but she also thinks a few people were being hypocritical.
I have to be honest, I did not like myself this episode. I don't know who that was, or what I was thinking. I was making jokes, but some of them sounded sarcastic instead of funny. I think sometimes in life when we sense a change coming, we have a tendency to act a little off key. Maybe I was trying to make light of things I shouldn't have been, but I meant no harm, truly. My momma always said, "If you don't have anything positive to say, just keep your mouth closed!" Lesson learned on that one. (Thanks Mom!)
I think we have all been in a situation where we overreact. I just wasn't expecting that to be Tamra overreacting to Vicki and Eddie laughing together in Catalina! I hit rewind after that scene at least three times to see if I missed something, but I didn't think Vicki and Eddie were out of line. In my opinion, they were all carrying on the same way.
I thought it was out of left field when Slade mentioned he wanted to do a comedy act, but I also felt like Gretchen could have supported him a little more. I thought it was very entrepreneurial of Slade to want to do something that was out of his comfort zone. Gretchen said last year that Slade "schlepped" her things, so I think it's great that he is getting his own groove back.
Back to Tamra and Eddie talking on the boat ride -- Eddie says he thinks they should stop drinking because that was the main cause of their fight. That is probably a good idea, but good luck getting Tamra to agree! Then Tamra switches gears and says now she doesn't care about Vicki and Eddie touching. . . What? Is anyone else confused?
When Gretchen and I were in the limo, I was sincerely worried for Gretchen jumping right back into her friendship with Tamra. I remember everything Gretchen went through last year, and I am concerned that it could all happen again. A bracelet and acting all chummy-chummy; it just felt like there was another motive, an agenda. Then we see Gretchen and Tamra going to the sex shop together. . .couldn't they have kept it at coffee? LOL!
Let me be the first to say I was so excited about Heather's painting party. What a new and refreshing idea! A party with a purpose! I loved the low-carb menu, and I loved Timree! I want to personally apologize to Heather for calling her "pretentious." I have always considered her "buttoned-up," but never pretentious. I like Heather, I think she is funny and has a good heart. During the party that evening, I thought we were all joking and having a great time; however, it definitely seemed like there was friction looking back.
First of all, when all of us were discussing Tamra and Gretchen's "sex shop" visit, I felt Heather could have simply walked away from the conversation if she really didn't want to talk about any of it. I will be the first to admit that I get uncomfortable with that kind of talk, too. If things get too uncomfortable, I will excuse myself or change the subject.
When we were all painting, Vicki and I were laughing and teasing about being new BFFs, and getting Vicki a bracelet. I was completely shocked to hear Gretchen say under her breath that I was competing. Of all people, I thought she was my true friend. I didn't get the memo that it's OK for her and Tamra to make their jokes whenever they want, but Vicki and I cannot.
But come on! It's a little awkward that Tamra gave Gretchen a bracelet after two years of putting Gretchen through hell!! Was that Gretchen's hazing gift?
At the end of the night when Heather told Terry that he wasn't scoring any bedroom points, I was teasing her when I reminded her that she doesn't talk about those things. Those were her words. No one should really care if she does or doesn't talk about those things!
Tamra getting all huffy and saying that I'm trying to take credit for her and Gretchen getting back together is pretty unbelievable. If Tamra is going to make accusations that I'm jealous of Gretchen and Tamra becoming friends, I will comment back. And how quickly Tamra forgets that two years ago I did try to get those two to move past their fight. I don't need credit for that. That's just Tamra looking for drama once again, but she won't get it from me, because I'll just keep being happy for her and wishing her well, and that just kills her.
The saddest part of this episode for me was watching Gretchen make fun of me behind my back and chime in with Tamra throughout the evening. True friends just don't do that. That hurts.
The real kicker was when Tamra called Vicki jealous when Tamra just got jealous of Vicki and Eddie touching the night before??? That sure was the pot calling the kettle black. Vicki not saying goodbye to Tamra shocked me too, though! I think Vicki was hurt and felt disrespected.
And last but not least, I dedicated my shoe painting to my twins, and it is hanging on their wall in their bedroom, so thank you Heather and Timree!
Exciting news! My NEW Alexis Couture "Bonita" maxi dress will be here in two weeks-offered in jade and coral -- the HOT new colors for spring! The 2012 Alexis by Tal Sheyn line is available now at EverythingAlexis.com. You can always follow me on Facebook at "Alexis Bellino Verified Profile" and Twitter @alexisbellino!

Shift to shore: New model shows extinct tetrapod Ichthyostega couldn't walk
Palaeontology has gone high-tech: no more wax and plaster-cast models. Instead, 3D data from computed tomography (CT) scans is overturning long-held views of how the earliest land animals moved.
Research published today in Nature reveals how a famous extinct animal, the early four-legged vertebrate (tetrapod) called Ichthyostega, moved on land 360m years ago.
One major problem in putting together fossil skeletons is actually getting the fossil out of the rock, but now palaeontologists dont have to! Instead, the CT scans allow the virtual preparation of the fossil so delicate bones can be fully isolated and then fitted together so the anatomy can be better understood.
It was this process that has allowed scientists (Stephanie E. Pierce and Professor John R. Hutchinson from the UKs Royal Veterinary College and Professor Jennifer A. Clack from the University of Cambridge) to overturn long held assumptions on how one of the earliest tetrapods moved from the water on to land.
Ichthyostega was first discovered in East Greenland in 1932 and is mostly figured as the first four-legged fish. But this new work shows that Ichthyostega could not walk using all four limbs because the limbs were not able to rotate in a manner that would allow terrestrial locomotion.
Instead Ichthyostega used the front limbs to haul itself along the surface.
The next step is to achieve what many palaeontologists dream of to reconstruct the soft anatomy. This study shows how the latest imaging technology combined with a strong knowledge in comparative anatomy can enhance our understanding of how these ancient animals moved.
Importantly, the new work provides a clearer picture of how our early ancestors made it out of the aquatic environment and on to land.
Explore further
The origin of tetrapods and the transition from swimming to walking was a pivotal step in the evolution and diversification of terrestrial vertebrates. During this time, modifications of the limbsparticularly the specialization of joints and the structures that guide their motionsfundamentally changed the ways in which early tetrapods could move1, 2, 3, 4. Nonetheless, little is known about the functional consequences of limb anatomy in early tetrapods and how that anatomy influenced locomotion capabilities at this very critical stage in vertebrate evolution. Here we present a three-dimensional reconstruction of the iconic Devonian tetrapod Ichthyostega and a quantitative and comparative analysis of limb mobility in this early tetrapod. We show that Ichthyostega could not have employed typical tetrapod locomotory behaviours, such as lateral sequence walking. In particular, it lacked the necessary rotary motions in its limbs to push the body off the ground and move the limbs in an alternating sequence. Given that long-axis rotation was present in the fins of tetrapodomorph fishes5, 6, 7, it seems that either early tetrapods evolved through an initial stage of restricted shoulder8, 9 and hip joint mobility or that Ichthyostega was unique in this respect. We conclude that early tetrapods with the skeletal morphology and limb mobility of Ichthyostega were unlikely to have made some of the recently described Middle Devonian trackways10.

War Memorial BreskensBack Steenoven 1, 4511 BL Breskens
A brick stone memorial in the form of number eleven (11 September 1944, date of bombing), with fragments of glass on a granite map of Breskens, representing the civilians who died during the bombing.
- Year of construction
- 1994
- Architect / Design
- Joh. Provoost
- Accessibility
- Good
In an attempt to cut off the route of retreating German troops, the Allies carried out an air strike on the port of Breskens on 11 September 1944. During the bombing 183 civilians were killed.
In memory of the victims and the other 33 Breskens residents who died in the Second World War, this memorial was erected in 1994. A document containing the names of the victims is placed in the memorial. The two brick stone walls joined together form the number eleven, referring to the date of the destruction of Breskens on 11 september 1944. The fragments of glass on the map of Breskens depict the victims. Some fragments do touch each other representing members of the same family.

It is with great excitement that we can officially announce that our Japan Powder Camps for 2018 are now live and ready to book!
What makes this announcement even more special is that we will be returning back to our original resort of Furano which is where it all began over 10 years ago.
This amazing resort in Hokkaido offers a truly magical experience. Furano is slightly less known than our previous course location of Niseko. It delivers a very authentic feel with much quieter slopes and a phenomenal snowfall record.
The first Warren Smith Ski Academy Japan Powder Camp group back in 2009 at the bottom of the sacred Trees in Furano.
The available terrain that the mountain boasts is every skier's dream. By following the lead of other resorts in Japan, Furano recently developed it's own 'gate' system allowing skiers to access previously un-skiable off-piste terrain. 5 new gates have been placed in the area including one that provides access to what previous course members nick-named the 'Sacred Trees'. This top to bottom decent delivers an experience that will live long in the memory. Skiing through the perfectly spaced Silver birch tree's with gradients to satisfy everyone, you are left with no doubt that you are somewhere truly special.
To get a taste of what Furano has to offer, check out our video blog from back in 2010 here. You can also view our entire Japan powder camp YouTube library here.
The Powder Camp will follow the same format as previous trips with 8 days of skiing in total. Day 1 will begin with a Free-ski day allowing you to find your legs and explore the new surroundings. 5 days of consecutive powder specific coaching from the Academy team will then follow. You will be guided round the best terrain and have your technique adapted to suit the powder snow. Two Freeskiing days will then complete the camp allowing you to put everything into practice with more confidence.
Full details on the trip can be found on the Academy website here and bookings for the course with full travel package can be made through our fantastic travel partners at Ski Safari.
The dates for this year's course are as follows
January 24th – February 3rd – 2018
This course will sell out quickly. Do not hesitate to secure your spot for what will be another legendary camp in the deep snow capital of the world!

Hemant Mehta must be the coolest high school math teacher around, because he's also one of the most popular atheist bloggers in the secular community, and the author of The Young Atheist's Survival Guide. When he says that he won't harm a fly, he really means it. He spoke with Johnny Monsarrat for this Richard Dawkins Foundation interview about not harming bugs, his personal life, and his books exploring belief and non-belief.
RDF: You grew up as a Jain, a faith from South Asia, which seems pretty
harmless. What was the weirdest thing about growing up as a Jain?
Hemant Mehta: I actually agree with you that it is not that harmful of a
faith and the weirdest thing from of Jainism are really just their spiritual
belifs: they believe in reincarnation and karma and Heaven and Hell. Those
are the reasons I stopped believing at a young age. At one point I said, "I
don't think I could call myself a Jain anymore because I don't buy into all
of that."
Hemant Mehta: As for their philosophy, they stand for non violence — even
mentally speaking! Don't think bad thoughts! I think that's a good
philosophy, but when it comes to the supernatural aspect of it, I can't get
on board with that.
RDF: I'm only familiar with Karma as a bumper sticker, but in Jainism they
take it seriously.
Hemant Mehta: Yes, if you're good in this life you're going to be in a
better position in your next life. I was around 14 when I stopped calling
myself a Jain but I grew up thinking, "If there's a bug, you can't step on
it because that is going to be bad for you!" and I still sort of do it. If I
see a little bug I think "Ooookay, so I can't kill it — what do I do?" so
I just try to move away from it or move it another place or something like
that. Even now my parents will often try to toss it outside if they see a
bug somewhere in the house.
RDF: Your students and their parents presumably know about your atheism?
Hemant Mehta: I don't talk about it and wouldn't want to, but I think my
students and their parents know what I do outside of school. The cool part
is it actually has never really affected me. I teach math and usually when
we're in class there's so much to do that we don't even have time to talk
about extracurricular things like that. The parents care way more about what
I teach their kids about math than what I may or may not believe privately
and I think they recognize I'm not trying to spread atheism in the
classroom. I've actually never gotten a complaint from parents but I have
received compliments.
RDF: Atheist do so much to support science educators. How can we get science
organizations to help us in return?
Hemant Mehta: I don't know if they'd want to, and I say that in a broad
sense. Neil deGrasse Tyson may be an atheist, he may not believe in God but
his goal is to communicate science, and religion is just a byproduct of
that. Science is promoting critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning,
so they're setting the path for people to use those same skills to tackle
religion. They just have to lead you to the water; they don't have to make
you drink.
Hemant Mehta: You may have seen the first episode of "Cosmos" and he even
makes a reference to Jesus and Mohammed at the end of the show. Again, his
goal is to communicate science and to try to get religious people to see
things the way scientists see them and you're probably not going to do that
if you're pushing them away by going after their religion in a direct way.
Hemant Mehta: I understand why they dance around the topic. It's because
it's a more effective technique, but personally I don't have to hold back. I
think there's a strategic reason to talk about atheism and critical thinking
and applying it to religion because I think that people are only going to
wake up if you're very blunt about these topics and they might not be
persuaded by this indirect approach.
Hemant Mehta: Science is not easy, it takes time to understand the process
and what it is and what is not. Creationism is pretty simple: God did it!
We're done! So I can understand why people want to believe in Creationism
because it doesn't take a lot of mental effort — To understand science –
it sounds academic- it sounds like "Oh, I gotta go back to school and learn
this stuff" and people don't necessarily want to do that which is why I'm so
excited that "Cosmos" is on TV right now because it is entertaining but
people are actually learning something.
I love it when people tell me that they finally gave up religion because
they picked up one book! I read Dawkins' "The Ancestor's Tale" out of
nowhere, I just kind of picked it up one day, I'd never read one of his
books and I thought "Wow! This is so cool! How come I never learned this?!"
and of course the truth is I have learned about evolution but never really
understood it or cared about it; but then I read the book and it made me
want to learn more. And I think that's what people like Bill Nye and Neil
deGrasse Tyson achieve, they talk about science but don't make it sound like
it's a lecture when they're doing it; they actually make you feel like you
want to know more. And that's is kind of what we need: to pull religious
people into that world, you're not going to do it by insulting their
religion; you might get a few but not a lot. You're going to do it by
convincing them that there's a much cooler approach to this and if they
explore it they'll figure it out on their own.
RDF: It seems that you're okay if people who like your website but don't
really want to give up god, you kind of encourage them to slide over from
one religion to a possibly less mean religion. Is there a real benefit to
"sliding" rather than giving up religion?
Hemant Mehta: There's two aspects of this. One is: Do I want people to stop
believing in god? And the answer is Yes! Because I don't think that exists
and I hope you'll agree with me and I hope I can persuade you about that —
but that's not realistic. That's not going to happen for a lot of people so
the second aspect is, well, what do you do with all those people that are
still religious? I think we can benefit if we can convince them to take a
softer approach.
Hemant Mehta: The way a friend puts it: There's a big difference between
Fred Phelps, from the Westboro Baptist Church, and Fred Rogers from Mr.
Rogers' Neighborhood — They're both religious but I don't care if someone
is like Fred Rogers, that doesn't bother me even if they believe in god
because the reality is not everyone is going to give up their faith and I
would not care so much if I was surrounded by the Fred Rogers' type so there
is some progress in getting them to move to the lighter side of the spectre;
if they're willing to move an inch in the right direction they may end up
going a lot further.
RDF: Are you one of the people who believes that religion/having faith is
fundamentally harmful, they are enablers of the worst religions? Or or do
you believe that more liberal religions are basically okay?
Hemant Mehta: I don't take Hitchen's vision that religion poisons
everything, because I was raised religious, I know my religious community,
and these are not bad people. I don't think religion has been a bad
influence on them. But I think the way of thinking in religion is not
effective in every situation. Is religion harmful? There's a lot of things
more harmful than religion but it is one of those things that if we can get
people to look at the world in a different way they would make more rational
decisions in so many areas of their life. Religion may not harm people in
most ways but some ways of thinking do. To name something relatively
harmless: If they are praying in a bad situation that's not going to help
necessarily, but if they're taking action, faith is not going to help but if
you actually do something. That's going to be more powerful.
RDF: You're a big believer in charity and you're even on the board of The
Foundation Beyond Belief, which encourages non believers to give to
charities but these charities aren't necessarily showing or taking any
atheist approach to the people they benefit. What's the goal behind this?
Hemant Mehta: The point is just to do good. But along the way it'd be good
to show the people who are behind such actions.
RDF: If someone had a small budget and wanted to read one of the books
you've written, which should they start with?
Hemant Mehta: "The Young Atheist's Survival Guide" probably because it's the
one that's meant the most to me.
Go to amazon.com for The Young Atheist's Survival Guide, and find Hemant's website and blog, The Friendly Atheist, at www.FriendlyAtheist.org.

Our lovely reader Rory had tested the recipe right away, thank you Rory! Please check out his version at http://instagr.am/p/KcQUuZojeR/
1 large tomato, cut into wedges
2 (formerly 3) grown ups sharing a kitchen in inner city Melbourne. Both determined to eat very well for under $10/meal each. A place to share recipes, stories and cooking tips and, of course, to convert "meal in a box" believers and takeout food regulars
Dinner! I found you! :PReplyDelete
I came I saw I cooked: http://instagr.am/p/KcQUuZojeR/ it was most delicious my three hungry tummies approved!
fyi: the tomato wedges are missing from the ingredients list and there are two gingers in the sauce ingredient list.
Hey Rory,
Thanks for trying out the recipe and pointed out on the missing ingredient and duplicate :)
Welcome back! We are so glad your are back blogging again :) This looks wonderful and it must be good with someone already tried it out :)ReplyDelete

Fire Dance
The love, the sacrifice, the pain like never before,
What is love but pain?
Glorious pain,
Like a super nova, a world destroyed, a world created.
An atom bomb, an alcoholic, a fire dance, drinking the flame,
Burned by the flame, a moth to the flame, burn from the inside,
Tears, a darkness surrounding, alone in a cold hotel room crying,
To wake up crying, love the flame, yet feel it dying in the cold hotel room,
On a bus coming, going, jumping in the fire, knowing it's dying, burn my love,
Burn us together.

WASHINGTON -- The rate of hospital-acquired conditions (HACs), including central line-associated bloodstream infections, bedsores, and falls -- fell 17% during 2010-2013, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The reduction resulted in 1.3 million fewer harms to hospitalized patients as well as an estimated 50,000 fewer deaths and $12 billion in savings, HHS said in a report released Tuesday.
"The 17% reduction ... indicates that hospitals have made very substantial progress in improving safety," an HHS official said during a background conference call with reporters. "We can't precisely determine causality but [the decrease] occurred during a concerted effort by hospitals to reduce adverse events. Financial incentives by payers, public reporting of results, and technical assistance offered by quality improvement organizations ... all contributed to these impressive results."
Part of the hospitals' effort to reduce HACs came through the Partnership for Patients, a public-private initiative that includes HHS and nearly 3,700 hospitals, as well as physician practices and other patient care organizations. The partnership's goal is to decrease HACs by 40% by the end of 2014, compared with 2010, according to the organization's website.
The numbers in the report came from a review of 18,000 to 33,000 medical records each year collected through the Inpatient Quality Reporting Program at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; the records were scrutinized for evidence of any of 21 types of adverse events. Specific reductions documented in the report included:
- A 19% drop in adverse drug events
- A 28% decline in catheter-associated urinary tract infections
- A 49% decrease in central line-associated bloodstream infections
- A 20% drop in pressure ulcers
- An 18% decrease in postoperative venous thromboembolisms
"There is still much more work to be done, even with the 17% decline ... we have measured for the Partnership for Patients since 2010," the report authors wrote. "The 2013 HAC rate of 121 HACs per 1,000 discharges means that almost 10 percent of hospitalized patients experienced one or more of the HACs we measured. That rate is still too high."
HHS is committed to pushing the rates even lower, an official said during the call. "Much of this is a culture of safety and high reliability in healthcare we are trying to foster," the official said. "We know that in organizations that deliver consistent safety results -- it's truly embedded in the culture."
The official added that HHS is "aligning quality measures and incentives with improved safety, and we'll continue to expand that over time."

BlumShapiro staff in Shelton to help university students
Nearly 50 students at Fairfield University have spent most of the 2013-14 academic year preparing to compete in the institution's annual business plan competition.
As they enter the final stages of forming and presenting their new business ideas, they will rely on the advice of faculty members and business experts to help them, including employees of Shelton-based BlumShapiro — Tom Walsh, a partner, and Patrick Dunleavey, a manager.
"As the official accounting and finance advisors for the Fairfield University Business Plan Competition, BlumShapiro is proud to support the entrepreneurial spirit of these highly motivated and creative students," said Walsh, a resident of Trumbull.
Student entrepreneurship
The Fairfield University Business Plan Competition was created three years ago by the Charles F. Dolan School of Business to meet the growing interest in entrepreneurship among students.
"Listening to their plans and giving them our advice on financial planning, financial presentation and overall business plan development provides all of us — the students and advisors — the opportunity to develop best practices for tomorrow's business leaders," said Dunleavey, also of Trumbull.
The annual competition is open to all undergraduates. This year, 10 to 12 teams will compete in two categories: the venture track for new businesses with a profit focus and the social track for new organizations with a social mission.
Each category competes separately with its own judges and prizes, and a total of $20,000 will be awarded to several teams. The final judging and awards presentation takes place April 14 at Fairfield University.

Seaside Development Is a Coastal Success Story
Friday, March 20th, 2015
on behalf of CALA Homes
A luxury property development has proven to be a hit with house hunters looking for the very best in Scottish coastal living.
CALA Homes' Priory Meadow development in the seaside town of North Berwick has experienced a whirlwind sales success, with only two properties remaining from its first phase launch.
The development has quickly achieved a reputation for providing buyers with the best benefits of a serene lifestyle by the seaside, while also providing swift and easy access to Edinburgh.
Now a second phase is soon to be launched for eager house-hunters looking to land a home in the popular development, with move in dates perfectly scheduled from summer 2015.
Sarah Stanger, Sales and Marketing Director at CALA Homes (East) attributed the accelerated sales at the development to a combination of its location and design.
She said: "We are delighted with the popularity of Priory Meadow. The first phase success is very clearly down to the outstanding quality of design combined with the beautiful location.
"Almost immediately after launch it was clear buyers saw the development as a hotspot for providing the best of both worlds – luxury living in a scenic setting yet with easy access into Edinburgh city centre.
"In the summer months North Berwick provides unrivalled beaches and a picturesque location, a definitive combination for many people looking to find their dream place to live."
In terms of location, North Berwick has plenty to offer outdoor adventurers with its award winning beaches and first class golf courses. Situated off Glenorchy Road, the development is conveniently located for access to the local school and the town's many local amenities.
Priory Meadow also benefits from pedestrian links with CALA's award-winning Gilsland Grange development and both enjoy shared open spaces and play areas which are perfect for bringing families together.
CALA's Part Exchange service is available at Priory Meadow to help prospective buyers step up the property ladder.
Sarah added: "CALA is giving buyers a helping hand onto the Priory Meadow ladder by offering Part Exchange on selected properties at the development.
"This service offers, subject to status and acceptance, a guaranteed buyer for your home as well as a fair market price for your property. This helps to make the move as swift and easy as possible for those already juggling busy work and family lives.
"Alternatively, on selected homes we can also help with contribution towards land and buildings transactions tax (LBTT)."
Priory Meadow offers a wide selection of spacious four and five bedroom detached family homes as well as three bedroom terraced homes from CALA's award-winning Signature Range.
House hunters looking for more information or to book a viewing at the development are being encouraged to visit the official website or call 01620 621 787.

This is an article about how children's wellbeing improves in a number of predictable and also some unexpected ways when their poor parents get a regular cash infusion.
We in the development business are big on cash transfers to poor families. Often it is the most effective way to improve their wellbeing, even more so than if a development agency used that money to buy families goats or give them job training or something. This makes intuitive sense--who better to decide what poor people need to spend money on to improve their lives, than the poor people themselves? But usually we talk about conditional cash transfers, meaning that the money is only given to families that send their kids to school, or take them to monthly nutrition monitoring sessions, or vaccinate them, etc. This is also sage--we as donors thus attain two positive outcomes at once (the behavior we donors demand of cash recipients, and their benefits from having the cash).
In any case, this example from North Carolina shows that unconditional cash transfers with no strings attached, especially if they are of significant sums over a long time period, are very effective at achieving positive development outcomes.

The Karnataka post-election scenario has repeatedly brought up the S.R. Bommai case. But what is the case all about?
Who was S.R. Bommai?
S.R. Bommai was the Chief Minister of the Janata Dal government in Karnataka between August 13, 1988 and April 21, 1989. Article 356 was used to dismiss his government on April 21, 1989. The premise was the loss of majority of the Bommai government because of large-scale defections. Bommai was refused a chance to test his majority in the Assembly even though Bommai had presented a copy of the resolution passed by the Janata Dal Legislature Party.
What took place then?
The Governor's decision to recommend President's Rule was contested by Bommai in court. His writ petition was dismissed initially by the Karnataka High Court. He then went to the Supreme court.
What was the Supreme court's ruling?
It took five years for the case to be settled at the Supreme court. It however has become the most cited case in cases of hung Assemblies and a rush for government formation claims by multiple parties. The Supreme Court, comprising of a nine-judge Constitution Bench, settled allegations of arbitrary dismissal of State governments under Article 356 and spelled out restrictions on March 11, 1994.
What is the judgement?
According to the constitution bench ruling, the power of the President to dismiss a State government is not absolute. Such power can only be exercised and implemented by the President only after ratification by both Houses of Parliament, the verdict said. Until such time, the Legislative Assembly can only be suspended by the President, the court ruled. "The dissolution of Legislative Assembly is not a matter of course. It should be resorted to only where it is found necessary for achieving the purposes of the Proclamation," the Court said.
What is the outcome in case of non-ratification of such proclamation by parliament?
"In case both Houses of Parliament disapprove or do not approve the Proclamation, the Proclamation lapses at the end of the two-month period. In such a case, the government which was dismissed revives. The Legislative Assembly, which may have been kept in suspended animation gets reactivated," the Court said. The imposition of Article 356 is subject to judicial review the Court also ruled.
How is the S.R. Bommai vs Union important for India?
This case brought an end to the practice of dismissal of state governments by central governments that are hostile. It also established that majority can only be proven on the floor of the Assembly and it should not be a subjective opinion of the Governor.
"The Chief Minister of every State who has to discharge his constitutional functions will be in perpetual fear of the axe of Proclamation falling on him because he will not be sure whether he will remain in power or not and consequently he has to stand up every time from his seat without properly discharging his constitutional obligations and achieving the desired target in the interest of the State," the Court said.
When was the verdict first used?
In 1999, the court forced the reinstatement of a government that had been dismissed by the A.B. Vajpayee government, was the first time that the case was used. The case was related to the sacking of the Rabri Devi government in Bihar which was dismissed on February 12, 1999 but was reinstated on March 8, 1999. This was done after there was enough evidence that the central government would lose the vote for passing the dismissal order of the state government in the Rajya Sabha.

Emmylou Harris has been charged with hit and run following an incident in October 2012 in Los Angeles.
The LA County District Attorney charged the country and folk music star on January 30. If she is found guilty of the charges, then she could be placed in jail for up to six months.
After the incident, Harris' agent stated that it was a "garden-variety accident that happens every day on the 405" as the incident occurred on one of Los Angeles' busiest freeways. They even went on to state that Harris drove away from the accident as she didn't actually realize she had hit another vehicle.
Harris has won a dozen Grammys for her work and in the past has collaborated with the likes of Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Alison Krauss. She is even set to release a new album of duets in February.
Her last album was 2011's Hard Bargain and saw the female musician pay tribute to Gram Parsons, who discovered Harris in a Washington DC folk club in 1971. He then decided to invite her to sing on his 1973 album, GP, but in the same year he died of a drug overdose.
Harris recently recorded the song, "The Road for Hard Bargain," which discussed her relationship with the singer. Harris stated about the track, "It's terrible that Gram died so young, but I'm grateful that our paths crossed. It's a thank you to him and kind of a tip of the hat to the universe to say 'I'm still here and I was given all these wonderful things because of that meeting with this person.' It's just a reflection."
