Blossom Water can help you Kick the Artificial Sweetener Habit
Blossom Water contains nothing artificial. No artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners. Though contrary to popular belief, this last fact is particularly important to those interested in healthy weight loss.
Many dieters have opted for artificial sweeteners in order to cut back on their caloric intake, but this strategy is backfiring. Recent studies show that the brain cannot be fooled by artificial sweeteners. Sweet flavors without energy (calories) may even increase cravings. "Humans frequently ingesting low-calorie sweet products in a state of hunger or exhaustion may be more likely to 'relapse' and choose high calorie alternatives in the future." (http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-09/w-tbc092013.php)
This might be the death knell for artificial sweeteners, but it may not kill your habituated use of them. Here are a couple strategies that might help you kick the artificial sweetener habit:
Read the label. There are hidden artificial sweeteners lurking in many drinks and foods. Though there are only five artificial sweeteners currently approved but the FDA, they have found their way into many of our meals and snacks. Here is the not-so-fab five: Acesulfame potassium, Aspartame, Neotame, Saccharin and Sucralose. These sweeties often go by brand names like Splenda, Nutrasweet, and Equal. Read the labels, be strong, and move on.
Write about your cravings. It's called journaling; and your shrink will love you for it. Keep track of when you crave sweets and what you do about that craving. If you do appease your cravings with an artificial sweetener, make note of how you feel about it afterward. Be mindful of its affects on your body.
Satisfy your cravings with some fruit or a bottle of Blossom Water. The naturally occurring sugar in fresh fruit (fructose) is very satisfying and can even displace the desire for "sweets" altogether. Blossom Water, sweetened with agave (containing fructose) can squelch a craving for a sweet or sugary soda.
Use sweet spices like nutmeg or cinnamon. While sweet spices are not technically sweet on their own, they do enhance the sweetness of the foods they flavor. And spices have the added benefit of containing antioxidants. Think of how nice a sprinkle of cinnamon can be on top of a hot drink. Focus on the flavor and you won't miss the artificial sweet. Sprinkle liberally….
Enjoy real sweets like sugar and agave in small amounts. Any diet or meal plan worth its salt includes treats in moderation. And real sweets like agave satisfy. Torturing yourself with complete abstinence can lead to binging in the long run.

Shaping a digital future for all: Our voice, our data, our privacy
The internet offers great opportunities for freedom of expression, participation and transparency. For human rights defenders worldwide it is a lifeline to share information and make their voices heard. At the same time, online-surveillance, censorship, hate speech and data abuse have risen dramatically. In many developing countries, the effects are particularly chilling. Internet shutdowns during election campaigns and political protests have increased significantly. Digital surveillance, often in the name of national security, has become a constant threat for many reporters and activists. While the Cambridge Analytica scandal has shed light on the massive misuse of personal data in Europe and the US, the impact of data harvesting in low-income countries lacking data protection laws and privacy safeguards is often ignored.
The conference brings together human rights defenders, development experts, politicians and tech managers from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Kenya, Tunisia, Germany and the US to discuss promising approaches and challenges for inclusive digital societies: How can the right to freedom of expression and the right to privacy be protected in the light of shrinking space for civil society? What are the human rights risks of big data analytics and algorithmic decision-making for citizens in the Global South? How can development cooperation maximize the benefits such as better access to information, health and education and address the challenges of algorithms working as biased black boxes?

William Griffin, 88
William Walker Griffin
of Cliffside
Sept. 17, 1918to Aug. 19, 2007
Born Sept. 17, 1918 to Amanda and William Griffin in Atchison, Kan., "Bill" attended Emporia State University nearby until joining the Army at the outbreak of World War II.
Bill went to Officer Candidate School, then was stationed in Southern California, where he met Doris Louise Newkirk. They married in Los Angeles in 1943.
He served for two years in the Solomon Islands during the war and returned to California to manage a butcher shop in Van Nuys, Calif. In 1951, he was recalled by the Army and continued to serve as an artillery officer for more than 20 years, retiring as a major. He served in Korea, Alaska, Colorado, Japan and at Fort Lawton, in Seattle.
He then went to work for an international defense contractor as a supply specialist in Vietnam and Singapore. Upon his return to the states, he was employed by the City of Seattle Parks Department as a park planner until his second retirement.
Bill and Doris then moved to Cliffside just north of Port Gamble, and built their retirement dream home and a wonderful rhododendron garden overlooking Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains they so loved.
Bill died on Aug. 19 at his Cliffside home.
Besides his wife of 64 years, he is survived by three sons: Donald Kenneth Griffin of Eaton, Colo., William Walker Griffin Jr. of Olympia and Kenneth Wayne Griffin of Kirkland, as well as nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Bill will be remembered for his garden, but mainly for his love and care of his wife Doris.
Bill will be interred at Hansville Cemetery. At Bill's request, donations may be sent to The Salvation Army.

McCray, 25, may canrrrt you create been relating to the Sox radar at the starting of the season, but he will be off with a 4-1 along with a 9.30 ERA and 1.024 WHIP. He was originally drafted typically the 34th round by the "Devil" Rays in 2006 out of high school, in the 50th 1 yr later from the Cardinals and ultimately signed with Chicago when he was drawn in the 16th in 2010 from the University of Tennessee.
Cleveland scored in another on a fielder's choice by Trevor Crowe plus a fielding error by White Sox starter Edwin Jackson, Crowe stole his 20th base of the season but remained stranded. Crowe's 20 stolen bases gives Cleveland two with 20 steals. He joins Shin-Soo Choo.
Notes — Milton Bradley's home run in method to inning landed just in front of my vision. I was surprised to see Matt Murton batting repair for the Rockies.
Brad Ziegler finished the age with a 3.26 ERA, but that number doesn't tell an honest truth. Ziegler struggled, supplementing with bullpen-high seven losses close to year, great strikeout-to-walk ratio was downright mediocre: he struck out only 41 batters in 60 2/3 innings, while walking 28 batters. Putting that many batters on base by using a free pass is a substantial problem at a reliever.
Assuming Beckham avoids that whole April-June thing that happened last year, he's an ideal No. 2 hitter. He's plus on-base skills and good power-exactly why he should hit second. Hopefully, he won't have the bat taken off of his hands too much to bunt-after all, isn't one of Pierre's greatest assets his base-stealing capabilities? If Beckham is in order to swing away, the Sox lineup can have a much success.
It seems Rodriguez will get up to 49 more shots, with the appeal on his suspension is set to last into the offseason. As he was only suspended under baseball's drug policy and also not the collective bargaining agreement, he still had a chance to advantage. Unlike everyone else inside of Biogenesis scandal, he took that probability.
I do believe that Friday's game, the next "home" game people are usually more interested at basketball not only because it's against the sale jerseys, additionally because we're nearing no more Spring Training and the rosters always be just about complete. We'll have the idea of who can on the group and exactly what the lineups for the regular season will appear to.
I knew and liked Red Sox outfielder Tony Conigliaro. He was phenom. To put his talent in context, at age 19, his numbers when matched to others such as Alex Rodriguez, were far superior. Playing in aren't outfield, he easily outhit future Hall-of-Famer Carl Yaztremski.

Centrelink & Social Security
Assessing your eligibility for the Age Pension and other Centrelink benefits can be a daunting and complicated task when there are many variables to consider, including how Centrelink assess your income and assets. Centrelink assess your income and assets under two separate Means Tests, but applies the Test which produces the lower entitlement.
Small changes to how you structure your income and assets can make a significant difference to your Centrelink entitlements and every dollar you receive from Centrelink is a dollar you don't need from your hard earned savings.
A Luka Group Financial Adviser can help determine if you are eligible for Centrelink entitlements and advise you on ways you may be able to increase your entitlement.
Aged Care
Aged Care costs can be very high and could increase as our population ages.
The accommodation bond alone averages just over $230,000 nationally. On top of this there are other charges such as the basic daily care fee and daily income tested fee that can add up to a substantial sum of money.
Aged Care is a complex area that requires a solid understanding of how the rules interact with the broader tax and social security system. To add to the complexity the government has passed new legislation which will change the Aged Care frame work.
A Luka Group Financial Adviser can assist you to:
- Minimise costs,
- Maximise social security benefits,
- Choose suitable investments, and
- Plan for this distribution of your estate.
Contact a Luka Group Financial Adviser today to discuss Centrelink and Aged Care.

Hungry For More
This story appears in the August 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Unless you've been living under a rock, you may have noticed Americans love to eat out. If you smell opportunity every time you pass a restaurant, consider a business in the restaurant aftermarket industry. Here are three ideas to chew on:
1. Interactive restaurant Web site
Paul Lightfoot, 30, appears to have concocted the perfect blend of technology and his passion for restaurants. In 1998, he and co-founder Bob Thomas, 30, came up with the idea for foodline.com as a way to leverage the Internet to make the interaction between restaurants and their customers more efficient. To the consumer, foodline.com is an online restaurant guide where you can make reservations, but it also provides technology solutions to restaurants by giving them Web-based marketing tools and consumer data.
Headquartered in New York City, foodline.com currently serves 23 markets, using partnerships with companies such as CitySearch.com and Zagat.com. "I didn't set out to do something small," Lightfoot says. The company started off with an investment of $250,000 raised from personal savings, as well as family and friends. Subsequent angel and institutional investors have put millions of dollars into the company. "We're the kind of company that has to spend a lot to grow," Lightfoot says.
2. Guide to affordable restaurants
Make it easy for people on a budget to find a good meal and you'll tap a ready and willing market. Marc Kravitz, 31, formed Spirit of '76 Publishing in 1999 to produce $18 and Under: The Guide to Reasonable Dining and Entertainment in Philadelphia. "A lot of guides give descriptions that are basically paid advertising," Kravitz says. "My book consists of objective reviews."
The Philadelphia guide, updated annually, fits in a pocket, retails for $9.95 and is sold in local bookstores and on the Internet. Kravitz also markets versions with customized covers to companies as alternatives to traditional giveaways or gift premiums. With about $15,000 in start-up capital, Kravitz says he broke even his first year and expects to turn a profit in 2000. He's considering his expansion options, which include the possibility of taking $18 and Under to other cities.
3. Internet restaurant guides
Start-up entrepreneurs will probably have to do these guides locally. Anne Karle-Zenith of Brooklyn decided to create a local restaurant guide on the Internet. Karle-Zenith, 35, and her husband Lenny Zenith, 39, took $10,000 of savings and launched tasteofbrooklyn.com last October. Karle-Zenith doesn't consider the large online and print dining guides direct competition, because her site focuses exclusively on Brooklyn and its various neighborhoods and is more comprehensive. She admits, however, that "it's difficult to make money from advertising on a content-driven site. You have to have something that goes along with your site that has the potential to generate revenue." She's currently working on a plan to turn tasteofbrooklyn.com into a marketplace guide, complete with personal Web pages for local businesses.
These businesses are only the first course in a wide-open market. So who wants to be a restaurateur?

Florida developed a permitting system to help protect gopher tortoises — and ended up stopping siloed applications.
Not so long ago, building and land developers in Florida were allowed to pave over the burrows of a threatened native tortoise as long as they paid for a permit. The practice, derided by environmentalists and much of the scientific community, was called "entombment" or "pave and pay."
The permits generated millions of dollars of revenue, but came at the expense of tens of thousands of gopher tortoises that were killed when their habitat was destroyed.
From that tragedy grew something more uplifting, but largely ignored: a new permitting system that not only protects the gopher tortoise, but also is used for various types of permits.
After entombment was banned, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission received $550,000 from the state to develop a permitting system to ensure that gopher tortoises are safely relocated from construction sites. Released in 2009, the permitting system is also the commission's first to generate multiple permits within a single system, said Kevin Patten, the commission's CIO.
More than 20 of the commission's other permits have been integrated into the system. Users don't have to register more than once, he said.
The appropriated funds were originally designated for building only a gopher tortoise permitting system.
"I had a discussion with the division director and the agency head and said, 'I, in good conscience, can't build another siloed permitting application,'" Patten said. "'What we can do is build a permit generating application.'"
The commission has more than 200 permits that users can register for. In the past, each were siloed applications. Patten said when users have to apply for multiple permits, addresses and other necessary information can change over time and may not be updated on each permit the user has applied for.
Patten said the newer permitting process — developed through a partnership between the commission and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based AAJ Technologies — was built to accommodate the new guidelines for protecting the tortoises in Florida.
"In the past you could purchase a permit, you could assess the value of the gopher tortoise, and basically pay whatever the assessed value of the tortoises was and not be required to move them off the property before you started construction," Patten said.
This resulted in "entombment," which was basically a euphemism for allowing developers to bulldoze and build over the tortoise burrows if the developers obtained an "incidental take" permit.
Since 1991, nearly 94,000 gopher tortoises were casualties of the entombment practice, according to a 2007 report from the Humane Society. The 16-year policy was later banned in 2007.
But now, Patten said the permitting system can help developers find landowners who are willing to put the tortoises on their property. Through the system, information about land owners' property is assessed to determine how many gopher tortoises can live on the property, he said. A map on the permitting system plots where the tortoises are being moved to and where they're currently located.
A credit system was also set up so developers can pay the land owners to take the tortoises, Patten said.
The newer permitting system not only benefits the gopher tortoises, Patten said, but also the commission and each stage of the permitting process.
"There is much less manpower and time it takes us, from a turnaround perspective, to issue these permits," Patten said.

On average, the tortoises grow to be less than a foot in length, can weigh up to 30 pounds and can live to be 100 years old. The gopher tortoise is one of few tortoises that makes a burrow, digging anywhere between three and 20 feet deep underground.

In the last article, you found out about a few benefits that your business can expect from using a customer service call center. You learned that inbound and outbound sales call centers can increase profit, maximize efficiency, ensure guaranteed services, and provide emotional satisfaction all through customer service.
Those four aspects aren't the exhaustive list of how your business can benefit from hiring an inbound and outbound sales call center. Here are a few more.
Around the clock service
Your business may be closed between the hours of five p.m. and eight a.m. but that doesn't mean your customers won't need your services in that timeframe. Problems can occur day and night and when your customers need a problem solved, they need to be able to have around the clock support. That's especially true if you have customers around the globe or even in a different part of America. Customer call centers can alleviate you from having to handle those midnight calls yourself.
Customer service
The underlying benefit to any call center is their ability to provide unmatched customer service. That great customer service is your number one tool in customer retention. It is 25 times more expensive to acquire new customers than it is to retain your current ones, so ensuring that they receive the best customer service possible is a great way to ensure they stay onboard.
You can scale
Scalability of your business is essential to growth. If you can't scale, then you can't grow. However, when you try to scale one department then you cause unbalance and a lack of resources in another. The great part about inbound sales call centers is that they handle an entire department for you so you can focus your time and resources on scaling the other aspects of your business.
Customer loyalty
When you provide great customer service, again and again, your customers will begin to expect that from you and won't want to go somewhere else where they might not receive the same treatment. Inbound and outbound sales call centers can ensure that your customers won't want to take their business elsewhere because they're simply too satisfied with dealing with your business.
A customer's buying experience is as important as the product itself and up to 70% of those experiences are based principally on how the customer feels they're being treated. Utilizing a call center can ensure that they always feel as though they're being treated the right way.
Looking to scale your business and need a marketing call center to handle your customer service? Give us a call today.

This week I am in Florida again. Just passing through on our way to a cruise. But I am always thrilled to visit Florida, even when it's a short stay, or a conference. Florida is a dependable travel destination. And there's always something new and exciting to discover. This year, I thought I'd ask several of my favourite Canadian travel bloggers what their picks are for Top Florida Hotspots in 2018.
As a tourist destination, despite the ups and downs of the Canadian dollar, and the political climate, Florida is still a tourist mecca with much to offer. It's still very popular with Canadians, who are the biggest international market for this state. Oh, we all know the pull of Orlando area amusement parks. But there's so more to Florida than Mickey Mouse.
Here's what several Canadian travel bloggers have to say and why they chose each of these Florida hotspots.
Top Travel Bloggers Favourite Florida Hotspots:
Mary Chong of Calculated Traveller:
On The Pull of Miami
When asked what my favourite destination is in Florida I have to say Miami. There are a million things to do in this vibrant city. You can find culture and community in Little Havana, outdoor art in Wynwood, nightlife and art deco architecture in South Beach, and history at the Wolfonsian and Villa Vizcaya Museum.
Miami is also the gateway to the Florida Keys — offering opportunities for all kinds of adventures!
We travel to Miami and Florida a few times each year, usually to hop on a cruise ship to the Caribbean. If we aren't cruising, and are planning on spending time in the city, we always make a trip to spectacular Miami beach to play in the sand and watch the ships sail out into the sunset.
11 Things to do in Miami Florida
Paula Schuck of Thrifty Mommas Tips
Don't Discount Daytona Beach
So much more than a spring break party destination, Daytona Beach is one of my favourite Florida Hotspots and Travel Destinations because of how much there is to do. And the accessibility here is excellent. That makes it a good choice for people of all ages and abilities. The oceanfront beach strip is accessible on foot or by car in many areas. And accessible also by wheelchair in most spots.
In fact, this is one thing that jumped out at me almost everywhere we went in Daytona Beach. The accessible signage was clear in many places. That matters to me. It matters to seniors too and sandwich generation parents caring for their Moms and Dads who need help travelling sometimes. If you start the day relaxing on the beach and the weather is gorgeous you might never want to leave. But there's a lot to see so try to pace yourself.
Tammy Mitchell of In R Dream:
Magic of Melbourne
The one Florida destination that feels like home to our family is Melbourne Beach. The untouched beaches, serenity, tropical feeling you feel when you're watching your children jump the waves with a boogie board or dig deep into the sand is exactly what I crave when we road trip to Florida from Canada. It's a quiet beach and not overly crowded like some of the neighboring beaches. Right in front of Crowne Plaza Melbourne-Oceanfront is where our family has made many memories and will continue to enjoy this beach for many more years to come. Melbourne is very close to many tourist attractions such as Ron Jon's, Kennedy Space Center and a short drive to Disney World but far enough away you don't need to feel like a tourist 100% of the time. – Tammy http://inrdream.com/

A Slice of Paradise in Key West
A couple years ago I visited Key West and it was a dream come true. Key West is a slice of paradise and I can see why so many people vacation there each year. The food is delicious, and the sunsets are legendary. There is a reason why thousands of people flock to attend the nightly sunset ceremony at Mallory Square.
The atmosphere in Key West is friendly and relaxed. Many people ride bicycles or scooters to get around the small town. No one is in a hurry.There are also plenty of stray cats and chickens wandering around.
TIp – rent a convertible for the drive from the mainland through the Keys. You will not regret
driving along the legendary Seven Mile bridge with the roof down.

Siesta Key – Best Beach In Florida
When it comes to best place to visit in Florida I would have to put Siesta Key top of the list. We visit Siesta Key a few times a year. It is about an hour from Tampa on the Gulf of Mexico. The area is home to a beautiful white sand beach. In recent years, Siesta Key Beach was named number on beach in United States. And it deserves the honour! Definitely a must stop destination in Florida!
There are great resorts in the area and there is a great variety of restaurants, especially down in Siesta Key Village, which is in walking distance to many of the area resorts and hotels.

New political order as Kenya's leader attempts to redefine his legacy -The politics of #Handshake
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is redefining the nation's tenuous political alliances in a move that's likely to help him consolidate power during his final term and leave his deputy William Ruto out in the cold
Kenyatta has patched up a long-standing dispute with the main opposition leader, Raila Odinga, easing months of political tension in the East African nation over last year's disputed election. The rapprochement has cast doubt over whether Kenyatta will honor an informal deal to support Ruto's bid for the top job in 2022 in return for helping him secure two presidential terms.
"Kenyatta is playing divide and conquer by co-opting the opposition into his administration," said Robert Besseling, executive director of political risk advisory firm EXX Africa. "If Kenyatta endorses Ruto as his successor at this stage, he would become a lame-duck president for the remainder of his term. By reaching out to different political groups he leaves the succession in suspense and his own political stability more assured."
Rejected Elections
Odinga, 73, rejected the outcome of two presidential elections last year — the first was annulled by the Supreme Court, while he and his supporters boycotted the second. Kenyatta and Odinga agreed in March to work together to end political discord and last month announced the formation of a joint team to implement new development programs. They're also considering a plan to reintroduce the post of prime minister and two deputies, as part of an initiative to boost political inclusion
"The presidential system as currently exercised in Kenya is still a strong tool for exclusion," Odinga wrote in an opinion piece in the local Sunday Nation newspaper. He also suggested introducing 15 regional governments, adding a third tier of government to the national administration and 47 county ones.
It's unclear whether a political realignment or a change to the structure of government will bring longer-term stability to Kenya, where most elections since the advent of multi-party democracy in 1991 have been marred by violence.
Parties have tended to revolve around leaders who can garner support among more than 40 ethnic groups, and alliances have typically been based on whether they can win votes rather than because they see eye-to-eye on policy.
Shaky Foundations
The partnership between Kenyatta, 56, who is a Kikuyu, the largest group, and Ruto, 51, a member of the Kalenjin community, the third-biggest, was one such pact built on shaky foundations.
The two were on opposite sides of clashes after the 2007 vote that left at least 1,100 people dead, before they teamed up to contest the 2013 vote under the banner of the Jubilee Alliance. The International Criminal Court indicted them both for their alleged roles in the violence but dropped the cases after the government refused to cooperate with its probe.
Speculation about a degeneration in their relationship has been fueled by Ruto's absence from several key political events, most notably Kenyatta's announcement of his cabinet in January and his reconciliation with Odinga in March.
Added Uncertainty
"The pact between Odinga and Kenyatta is a sword that cuts both ways," Murithi Mutiga, an analyst with the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, said by phone from Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. "It has stabilized the country, brought a sense of predictability and removed the cloud of uncertainty. But its effect is also to add a level of uncertainty to the Kenyatta-Ruto pact."
Presidential spokesman Manoah Esipisu didn't directly respond to questions as to whether Kenyatta intended sidelining his deputy, saying only that he had outlined his reasons for reconciling with Odinga in his annual state-of-the-nation address. Ruto's spokesman, David Mugonyi, didn't answer three calls and a text message seeking comment.
Odinga and Kenyatta want to unite the country, not sideline Ruto, according to Edwin Sifuna, secretary-general of Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement.
Odinga could ultimately be the biggest beneficiary of the political shakeup — he would be the standout favorite to win the 2022 elections if he secures Kenyatta's endorsement and his health holds out — he'll be 77 by the time of the vote. A former prime minister, Odinga has failed on four attempts to win the presidency. He is a Luo, the fourth-largest ethnic group.
Moi Dynasty
Odinga and Kenyatta have said they don't want to discuss the 2022 vote yet.
A Kenyatta-Odinga alliance could rope in Gideon Moi, the Kalenjin leader of the Kenya African National Union party and youngest son of former President Daniel arap Moi. Several other leaders of the National Super Alliance, a group of four opposition parties backed by a range of ethnic groups that united behind Odinga to contest the last vote, could also join.
"I have no doubt that Raila will be a presidential candidate in the next election with tacit approval and support of Uhuru," said Herman Manyora, a political analyst at the University of Nairobi. "We're seeing an axis comprising Uhuru, Raila and Gideon Moi. Raila is likely to serve one term and pass the baton to Gideon."

text: Bureaucrats in the State Department and the Office of Refugee Resettlement have decided that Michigan should have more refugees of all sorts, and Syrian refugees in particular.In FY 2015, 3,013 refugees arrived in Michigan, of which 180 were from Syria, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Five hundred more — 3,548 — have arrived during the first eleven months of FY 2016 (ending August 31, 2016), according to the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration. That represents a 43 percent increase over the 2,477 refugees who arrived in Michigan during the first eleven months of FY 2015; 536 arrived in the last month of that fiscal year. It seems to be the Obama administration is turning the state of Michigan into Americas version of Brussels Belgium. For the state of Michigan this means residents must be very vigilant, and this likely means most refugees through the refugee resettlement program are likely mostly settling in the city of Detroit. The state of Michigan alone continues to be destroyed by leftist agendas since the 1960's. Dearborn, MI alone has the highest concentration of Muslims currently in America, and it's slowly looking like the state of Michigan will soon have the highest concentration of Muslims as a state very soon. The over 3000 refugees resettled in Michigan this year alone is probably a false number to begin with, when it's likely this number should be quadrupled. If you understand the Muslim world and that 25% of it supports Islamic terror, this would mean their are likely 2500 plus ISIS supporters in the state of Michigan currently. Pretty soon America an ISIS attack will occur in the United States, and we could bet anything that it will have ties to refugees resettling in the state of Michigan.

Before you start hitting the gym read these fitness tips to avoid common mistakes while working out. Many people put so much emphasis on making huge gains immediately that they end up frustrated and thus give up. This does not have to be the case and below are some of the common mistakes that beginners make which you should avoid if you need to meet your fitness goals.
1. Thinking More Exercise Is Better
When people pick up an activity at the gym, they always start looking for ways to do more almost immediately. Some change their goals while others want to do more cardio, more movements or more sets. As a newbie, doing more is never the best option. While your body will try to adapt to any stimulus, forcing it to adapt too quickly can cause injuries and stagnation in your exercises. Quality always has precedence over quantity.
2. Doing More Cardio Results in More Fat Loss
Weight loss and fat loss are the main reasons that drive people to the gym. This results in them focusing on it single handedly and will always use cardio machines. Instead of that, go with low and moderate intensity cardio workouts that also help you burn fat. Remember, your body gets better at burning fat as you get used to it, but you also need strength training.
3. Giving Up Too Fast
The moment you start working out, your body will definitely have problems adjusting. In most cases, it takes between 2-3 months for it to stop fighting and start embracing the exercises. It is this resistance that makes people give up after 4 to 6 weeks. Therefore, you need to be aware of the resistance so that you can be more stubborn to keep going on. With a little patience, you will thrive on the exercises that seemed too hard a few months back.
4. Always Watching the Scale
It is common to see beginners jump to the scale after a few hours of exercise or multiple times a week. Unfortunately, this is never the right way to go. In most cases, you may not have lost weight after hitting the gym for a few weeks, and thus, what you will see on the scale will discourage you. The scale is not usually the best way to tell progress and instead use other measurements of improvement like the way your clothes fit and overall energy levels. If you feel you are doing well, then do not let the scale get to you.
5. Wanting to Lift Too Much Too Soon
While what you weigh is probably what sent you to the gym, what you can lift is not very crucial when you are just starting out. Even though someone next to you may be moving more plates that you can count, do not be discouraged by your almost empty bar. The moment you try the same thing, you will simply be inviting injuries. Always start safe and lighten up a load if you cannot handle it. Instead of focusing on what you can lift, try variations and repetitions that are more useful.
6. Changing Your Diet Drastically
Adjusting your diet needs to be done in healthy steps. You cannot decide one day to do away with everything that you have been eating just because you want to eat healthy foods. Avoid that by eliminating your worst nutrition vices first and only move onto something else after your body has adjusted to the first change. By changing your diet gradually, you will make better food choices and also enjoy your new diet changes.
7. Gambling with Workout Equipment
You should never guess how to use the equipment because you will either get hurt or look like an idiot at the gym. Always ask for help because there are people willing to assist. Trainers, fellow gym users and knowledgeable acquaintances can be the perfect training buddies that will show you how to use the different equipment. Remember, if you do not know, ask.
8. Advanced Routines
As a beginner, start with baby steps. Do not be deceived into thinking that the advanced routines that you see in movies and magazines are better than the simple ones. Such routines only lead to injury and burnout. Instead, start with fundamentals and focus on learning and your safety. If you want variety, let someone knowledgeable help you out.
9. Expecting Supplements to Do Everything
There are various supplements in the market that claim to help you burn fats within days. Unfortunately, it is what you do in the gym that will help with your fitness goals. As you start, stick with proteins and healthy foods. If you want to use supplements at this stage, then multivitamins should be the ones for you.
10.Coming up With Big Goals
While goals can keep you focused, they need to be realistic. Do not come up with a target that will either push you too much or disappoint you. The trick when coming up with these goals is to ensure that they are consistent. You can have a 12-week fitness program for a start and see it to completion then graduate to something a little more demanding as you get used to working out.

GTS VSHE is a Framework-integrated version of ViennaSHE, an open-source project being developed at Vienna University of Technology. VSHE was added to GTS Framework to allow convenient exploring and experimenting with ViennaSHE's new algorithmic approach. However, VSHE is in experimental state, and we do not recommend production use at this time.
Boltzmann Transport Equation / SHE
ViennaSHE is a deterministic solver for the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) using the spherical harmonics expansion (SHE) method. It takes into account acoustic and optical phonon scattering, ionized impurity scattering as well as a full-band dispersion relation. The approach implemented in ViennaSHE provides faster execution than Monte Carlo simulations.
Model Calibration
VSHE accurately describes the high-field transport in highly-scaled CMOS technology, hence it can be used for efficient calibration of the drift-diffusion or energy-transport model for individual devices.
Energy Distribution Function
By providing the distribution function of electrons and holes of 2D and 3D semiconductor devices, VSHE provides deeper understanding of the physical processes of semiconductor devices. For example, VSHE allows to investigate non-equilibrium carrier distribution, which is important for hot carrier degradation (high energy tail) or accurate modeling of the write process in non-volatile memory (NVRAM) devices.
Details and Example Application
For details on application, see SHE Simulation, explaining step-by-step a simulation of a 50 nm nMOS transistor.
Applications and Benefits
- Accurate carrier transport model
- Device model calibration (i.e. high-field mobility)
- Energy distribution of the carriers (high energy tail)
- Hot carrier degradation (HCD)
- More efficient than Monte Carlo simulation
Physical models
- Self-consistent deterministic solver for the Boltzmann transport equation
- Acoustic and optical phonon scattering, ionized impurity scattering
- Fullband dispersion relation (aka. extended Vecchi model)
- Parabolic and non-parabolic dispersion relations
- Bipolar solution for electrons and holes including traps
- Impact ionization scattering, electron-electron-scattering
- Unstructured and structured meshes in two and three dimensions
- Multi-core support
- GPU-enabled solver
Integrated in GTS Framework
- Intuitive and versatile graphical user interface
- Comprehensive scripting interface
- Available for Windows and Linux platforms

day 43. thoughts about egypt.
tomorrow, i head to egypt and cross into my third continent.
it's weird to think that tomorrow might bring some new delightful ray of enlightenment, but sadly it will bring 13 hours cramped into a bus. as i write these words, i have no clue where i will be staying, nor if my egypian contacts have gotten my messages about my arrival.
nonetheless, in true form, i've gone out and done something really crazy. i've shave my head, but kept my beard. it's not your normal thing to do before heading to a country that has a love/hate relationship with the country you are in... but as i set forth on this journey, no longer am i too concerned. i know my path is vague and the journey is just part of the process.
...and haircuts are just part of the process...
before, in amsterdam with andy smith...
now, with adylin luckle, my host in isreal...
ps - it's been 15+ years since i've let a barber touch my head...
day 29. btw, are you going to eat that?
it's been two days since i've eaten a real meal. two nights ago, i headed out with hayal pozanti and her two friends, gokce and matan. after bouncing around from a street cafe, to an open air cafe, we climbed into an elevator to a roof top cafe for a taste of traditional turkish delights and anisette. covered in yogurt and rich sauces, we dinned in blissful content.
around 1am, we strung up our sails and departed to our abodes.
after a few hours of delightful dreams, i found my self in a place like none other. surround by unspeakable horror, i struggled to pull my self from the nightmare on elm street horror into the real world.
my eyes opened, my head swelled and my mouth filled. lucky, i was able to jimmy the door open, and rock my head toward what this hostel called a toilet. needless to say, you can put the rest together.
(warning, graphic content ahead... but like that night, if i don't get it out now... you might never make it to the plot...)
every thirty minutes or so, i found myself in another unpleasant world; desiring i was not shackled to a six room dorm room with five other unhappy, i managed to make it to the bathroom.
after the first hour, i howled every imaginable curse world and drank two liters of water.
after the second hour, i debated calling an ambulance and in between the dry heaves, munched four tablets of pepto and drank another liter of water.
during the third hour, i prayed, shat my pants and with all my might extruded the three or so liters that sat unpleasantly within my system.
somewhere among all those things. something worked. something unexplainable worked. for lack of a better term a miracle...
back in 1996, a similar incident happened, sans the alcohol part. for 48 hours, i convulsed in an american university dorm room. depleted of everything, i was rushed to the emergency room and placed under 24 hour supervision.
back in 1996, my father rushed from ohio to take care me...
alone. cold. rotting in hostel more apropo to a squat. i wondered what would take care of me this time...
one of the more interesting parts of this journey has been the discussion of faith. from the jewish quarter in prague, to a brief mash-up discussion on the streets of paris, to dries and an intimate conversation about baptism, to a punk rock bar in amsterdam drinking with three dutch jews and debating Mormonism, to openly debating religion in istanbul...
faith has become a current, but my faith does not have a title, name or singular belief. when i departed, i set out not knowing what i will find, but knowing what i will change me and embolden my faith....
... but if i was to discuss religion, what faith do i espouse?
... do i say i was a catholic, because my parents baptized me when i was born?
... am i mormon because i was raised in the mormon church and know it best?
... do i say i'm i a Buddhist, since i once studied it?
... i'm not just agnostic ...
BUT what i will say... faith comes in all different shapes and colors. don't be afraid of your passions, desires and most importantly your beliefs. refuse to take the world at it's face value... prove to yourself that mind is stronger than matter. if you want to change your world... take it by the horns and run!
day 26. istanbul
i have landed prematurely in asia. originally, i thought my flight would take me into the airport on the european side, it seems my feet have wondered and have walked on asian soil.
fear not, my head lies comfortably on European soil. while the differences are minor in such a grand city as istanbul, i am now the furthest from my family, friends and what i once called home.
to be honest, what i just did was unbelievable... jumping from city to city/country to country every four days has destroyed me. it's hard to think about all the great conversations, stories, and situations by moving from one to the next.
i now hope that i can splice together a story line that is truly representative of all that i've seen.
as i sit in the cafe of my istanbul youth hostel, i know this trip wouldn't have been possible without all the great hosts and more importantly the last two great hosts, andy smith from jaiku & Nadya Peek in amsterdam and Joshua Kauffman & Gwen in eindoven. andy and nadya gave me spare keys and a huge bed to dream of a better world. joshua and gwen gave me a spectacular dinner that charged my mind and body.
one of the most unexpected benefits from this trip is seeing so many great couples. from will and sue, alex and matt, dries and karlijin, andy and nadya, joshua and gwen... i am in total awe of their love and affection, and their generosity in giving me a humble home for me lay my head.
day 21/22's pain
what do you warn you about in amsterdam? the damn trolly tracks... it also didn't help that we had been bar hopping and my vision was impaired by many of the city's wonderful creatures.
after 30 mins of decompression, andy and i walked back to his humble abode. in the morning, i found a wonderful assortment of nicks, scrapes, and nearly severed thumb.
day 21's pain
day 22's pain

GDP deflators at market prices, and money GDP November 2017 (Autumn Budget 2017)
This document contains the latest gross domestic product (GDP) deflators. The GDP deflator can be viewed as a measure of general inflation in the domestic economy.
A series for the GDP deflator in index form is produced by the Treasury from data provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). The GDP deflator set is updated after every ONS Quarterly National Accounts release (at the end of each quarter) and whenever the OBR updates its GDP deflator forecasts.
Forecasts are from the OBR as at the Autumn Budget 22 November 2017.
Outturn data are the latest Quarterly National Accounts figures from the ONS, 29 September 2017. GDP deflators from 1955-56 to 2016-17 have been taken directly from fiscal period ONS series L8GG. GDP deflators from 1955 to 2016 have been taken from calendar period ONS series MNF2. Non-seasonally adjusted money GDP for calendar and fiscal periods are taken from ONS series BKTL. For fiscal periods only, seasonally adjusted money GDP series YBHA has also been included.
The next scheduled GDP deflator update will be after the Quarterly National Accounts scheduled for 22 December 2017.

Call a procedure
DO <idProcedure> [WITH <argument list>]
<idProcedure> is the name of the procedure or user-defined function to be executed.
WITH <argument list> specifies up to 128 arguments, separated by commas, to pass to <idProcedure>. Each argument may be a single variable, field, array, array element, expression, or object. Arguments can be skipped or left off the end of the list.
The DO statement calls a procedure or user-defined function, optionally passing arguments to the called routine. It performs the same action as a user-defined function or procedure specified on a line by itself with the exception that variables other than field variables are passed by reference as the default. In order to pass a field variable as an argument, enclose it in parentheses, unless you declare it with the FIELD statement or with an alias.
The number of specified arguments need not match the number of specified parameters in the called procedure. If the number of arguments is less than the number of parameters, the parameter variables with no corresponding arguments are initialized with a NIL value when the procedure is called. If the number of arguments is greater than the number of parameters, they are ignored.
Also, skipping an argument within the <argument list> by leaving an empty spot next to the comma initializes the corresponding argument to NIL. To detect the position of the last argument passed in the <argument list>, use PCOUNT(). To detect a skipped argument, compare the receiving parameter to NIL.
In addition to calling a procedure or user-defined function, DO also has an effect on compilation if you compile the current program file without the /M option. If the compiler encounters a DO statement and the specified procedure has not already been compiled, the compiler searches the current directory for a .prg file with the same name and compiles it. If the file with the same name as the procedure is not found, the called procedure is assumed to be external, and a reference is added to the object (.OBJ) file. At link time, the linker will search other object files and libraries for this external reference.
DO is a compatibility statement and therefore not recommended. Calling a procedure or function on a line by itself is the preferred method. Since this preferred calling convention normally passes parameters by value, you must preface an argument with the pass- by-reference operator (@) in order to pass by reference. If you are using DO to make a procedure call more readable, a user-defined command, specified with the #command directive, can provide greater readability without sacrificing the safety of variables passed as parameters.

You'd think Jon Cryer would be in a celebratory mood. After starring in four failed sitcoms, he has finally landed a prime-time hit with Two and a Half Men (Mondays at 9:30 pm/ET). But the 38-year-old former brat packer he was Duckie in Pretty in Pink won't break out the champagne just yet. Heck, he won't even settle into his trailer. "Let's just say, I don't decorate my dressing rooms," he says with a wink. "Not until the second season."TV Guide Online: Love you on Two & a Half Men. But love you more in Pretty in Pink. It's one of my favorite movies ever!
Cryer: Thank you. TVGO: So, I've got to ask. Duckie a blessing or a curse?
Cryer: Oh, definitely a blessing. A lot of people have a lot of affection for him. And his predilection for mismatched prints has allowed me to wear mismatched clothing for the rest of my life and say, "It's an homage!" TVGO: Speaking of clothes, do you still have the Duckman's shoes?
Cryer: This is an issue. I lent them to Planet Hollywood. And now they won't give them back. TVGO: Which Planet Hollywood? I'll get them for you.
Cryer: That's the thing. You give something to them and they ship it around, like floating displays. They could be in the Planet Hollywood in Singapore. I don't know. All I know is they ain't sending me back my shoes. And that's wrong. TVGO: Also wrong, by the way, is your wardrobe on Two & A Half Men. It's traumatizing.
Cryer: You're traumatized? Listen, lady, I've got to wear 'em! After the episode where I wore those shorts with knee high socks and Rockports, I got a call from one of the big time muckety-mucks at my agency, who said, "OK, you have to wear different clothes or we're never going to be able to get you a job again." But what can I do? They're right for Alan, so... TVGO: Thus, Alan's recent makeover episode. It failed. That was funny.
Cryer: I had to try on 30 or 40 disastrous outfits. There's nothing that makes you feel better than trying on stuff that makes you look horrible. All day. TVGO: Here's something that makes you feel better. You're married now and you have a kid.
Cryer: [My son] Charlie is soooo cute! It's all I can do to keep from gnawing on his arms. And he's talking up a storm now. Yells everything. At first, I thought something was wrong with his hearing. But there's not. TVGO: Thank God! Now, um, back to Pretty in Pink. I read somewhere that they shot an alternate ending where you, I mean, Duckie gets the girl. Is that true?
Cryer: Yes. In the original ending, my character shows up at the prom and she's just so grateful to see me that we dance the moonlight dance together and that's the end. But, when we shot it, Molly had food poisoning and collapsed. Then, they ran it for test audiences, and I think they felt like it wasn't a very satisfying ending. TVGO: You said you've incorporated a little bit of Duckie's crazy style. Have you internalized anything else? The way he talks, maybe?
Cryer: Well, you know, so much of what I said in the film were things that I say anyway. "Do I offend?" That was something my best friend used to say to me all the time. So a lot of that was me. TVGO: Ohmigod. Do I offend? Every once in a while I say it and I'm like, "Why do I say that?"
Cryer: Well, you can blame me. That's fine. I'll take that. TVGO: Oh, Duckie!

The girls of Clint City are exceptional but some of them are a lot sweeter than others. Take Fanny, the Ulu Watu ice-creamer seller: she's always there to bring you pleasure and ensure you have what you need to stay cool in the midday sun. Ellie is more of a day-dreaming nature lover and wouldn't hurt a fly. But beware of La Junta nurse, Milena. She's the type of girl who can emerge as sole survivor of a zombie infestation with just the help of some everyday knives.

It is EXACTLY the same! if you win a round, next round you have bonus something, EXACTLY the same!

I see the difference.
If a card with Next won, the following card gets the perk in addition it's own ability and bonus. It's a third effect for a card. In mono, it would basically be a wonky confidence, but in a half it's like a weird leader effect.
It would be much better as an ability.

Effect is the same, but the target isn't. If the target isn't the same, the ability isn't EXCATLY the same.
DUC-pwnage - Wednesday 29/08/2012, 20:45
So the next card gives it's ability to the next card when it wins? So the card gets 2 bonusses?
0_NastyNacho - Wednesday 29/08/2012, 21:07
Guru - TrAitorzZz
Ok, I get it now and will try to make it clear to other people.
Card A has a next abilty. He wins round one.
Card B will profit from the ability of Card A as Card A won the round. In this way Card B has a bonus, a ability and an ability which is received by winning the previous round with Card A.
In this way you first have no ability to help you for Card A, as it is Next based, but if you manage to win the round, Card B will profit and have 2 abilities.
This is what you ment, I guess?
0_NastyNacho - Wednesday 29/08/2012, 21:42
Guru - TrAitorzZz
Next is activated by a card with that ability wins the round, and the ability from Next works on the card played the following round.
Confidence has to win the round before the card is played to get activated, Next enables the card played afterwards to have an extra ability

Whatever gets you through the night, and a poem by Jackie Beat.
Sta per arrivare Novembre. Le giornate sono molto più corte di prima e dal 30 di Ottobre lo saranno ancora di più a causa dell'ora solare.
Giovedì non vado all'aperitivo perché prendo l'aereo e vado da P, in Germania.
Stasera cena Ya-Y. Che bello!
Una poesia di Jackie Beat, che io adoro (sia la poesia che Jackie Beat).
One day your six-pack washboard abs
Will hang and sag like burlap bags
Your thick and shiny matinee hair
Will fall out leaving the sun's glare
Upon your thick and shiny skull
Which, turns out, is an empty hull
No brain inside, no heart, no soul
But just a leathered, weathered hole
A small sad smile will soon replace
That snotty sneer upon your face
For as you curl your lip at me
Dismissing me as "history"
You'll realize that when you were young
Your life was lip-synched and not sung
All that you thought was real and gold
Was worthless, wasted, tired and old
You're all the things that make you sick
While on your hunt for wild dick
Atrophied, arthritic, ill
There's no elixir, nor a pill
For only undiluted truth
Can cure that snide disease called Youth
So smile your lies, go hook and hustle
Work your look and flex your muscle
Run to the arms of what you're fearing
Shout, "Straight-acting, straight-appearing!"
Addicted to what hates you most
And haunted by Miss Paul Lynde's ghost
So dim your light and watch your tone
But one day when you're all alone
You'll crave two things that no bank lends:

We worked for a couple of hours and then headed to Hackney's for lunch. I ordered the fish & chips and followed it with the Leprechaun pie (mint chocolate chip & chocolate ice cream pie). Yummy stuff. Judi paid for our lunches (wehey! and she'd paid for supper the night before - we love our Judi!) and then we got back to work packing. The goal was to stop at 6pm no matter how far along we'd gotten, but by 5:15pm, we'd pretty much taken care of the living room & kitchen. Judi figures she can do the bedroom & bathroom on her own. (Plus, she's gonna be needing her clothes for the next two weeks.)
Our next adventure for the day was Elsa's competition in Extreme Sports: Driving through Downtown Chicago when Assholes were Out As Well. She did a great job of swerving & dodging and got us safely to Office Depot. Judi sat in every office chair that they had before deciding upon the birthday present from us to her. We wheedled & deedled (I like that better than wheeled and dealed) with the salesguy until he sold us the floor model at 10% off and threw in a free box of cheese doodles. (OK, I'm lying about the cheese doodles.) Elsa & I also got her a plastic mat for the chair to roll on. And when we got down to the main floor (it's got a mezzanine where the furniture is) the salesguy had someone make up a bow out of crepe paper and stick it on the chair. Awwww! Happy Birthday, Judi!
Well, Elsa had passed the preliminaries of the Extreme Sports (where we got a bonus for stuffing an office chair into the back seat of a Dodge Stratus) so she went onto the finals: Finding the Bed, Bath & Beyond Hidden on N. Clybourne Drive when Assholes were Out As Well. It was hit & miss there at the end when we took a wrong turning trying to get to the parking lot. But Elsa prevailed against all the odds & we arrived at the lot & got the last parking space. Yay!
While in Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Judi stuffed everything she could into the cart (including things that couldn't fit) and we sent some stuff for next day delivery to her apartment. We packed up the trunk and then looked for supper. After some aimless wandering, we wound up at a Chinese place. I got General Tso's & eggrolls, plus a mango & pineapple smoothie. It was good eats. (And Judi let me have her crab rangoon, cuz she's da bomb.)
Elsa did her Extreme Sports victory run by getting us back to Judi's old place, where we grabbed enough shit to totally pack the car, including Lance. And if that wasn't enough, we did a stop at Jewel to get breakfast and a few other essentials (like amaretto). Then it was back to the new place where we crashed while the original Manchurian Candidate played. (I think Lance and I were the only ones watching it...) Then we all slipped off to bed.
I shall write about today when I next write. And tomorrow, we're gonna meet up with miz_em for supper to celebrate both Judi's & her birthdays. :-)
PS: Hope y'all had a lovely April Fool's Day!

Do you want to learn how to organize a home office like a pro? Of course you do! That is why you are here right?
A home office is becoming more and more in demand and how to organize a home office is becoming a hot topic. Whether you use it to pay household bills or to run a mini enterprise, organization is key. Organizing a home office for maximum efficiency is possible with a few helpful tips.
First you need to determine what you are or will be using your home office for: paying bills or running a home business or bringing extra work home. It could be a combination of all three. Depending on use you can set up your home office in a corner or a entirely separate room.
If space is an issue use a file tote or a rolling cart to house all of your home office needs.
How To Organize A Home Office Quick Tips
- Keep your personal and business files separate.
- Set up a filing system – no matter what you use your office for.
- Have all items that you need daily to work in reach.
- Resist the urge to spread out to other areas in your home. If you are doing this you probably need to rework your office space.
- Keep small items and office supplies in a desk drawer or other container and off your desk. This frees up valuable desk space.
- Find one system of filing and stick with it. Don't have two or three filing systems. You will get confused.
- If you hate filing away your papers use a literature sorter to house your different projects.
- Don't forget to shop for furniture that closes up like an armoire if you can't dedicate a entire room to your home office.
- Organize home office papers regularly. This keeps it from piling up and taking over.
My Home Office Story
Home offices can be great for getting bills paid and knocking out extra work. I use a home office for my business and for my personal life. I keep a filing cabinet for business files and one for personal files. It is important not to mix the two if you are running a business from home. All of my daily use items are close at hand. My desks are set up in a U shape. I have a dedicated room for my office, but it is okay if you don't have that. I use a file tote for projects that I need to carry with me downstairs and work on in order to keep an eye on my daughter.
I admit that my office gets junky and in disarray from time to time, but I take the time to go through my piles and file. I am ruthless when it comes to purging old magazines and items no longer needed. I also have to make sure that my office is baby friendly, so I can't have hazardous piles lying about.
Whatever your home office needs are you can organize your office like a pro!This post originally appeared on our sister site Help-Organize-Life.com. How my office is organized now has changed as my kids have grown.

News Ticker
Eurozone finance ministers will hold a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday to seek a solution to the debt stand-off with Greece's new anti-austerity government, the European Union says.
The meeting, a day before a full EU summit, would be the first chance for new Greek finance minister Yaris Varoufakis to formally set out to sceptical colleagues the anti-austerity government's demands for a reduction in Greece's debt.
Greece's 240-billion-euro ($275-billion) EU-IMF bailout is due to expire on February 28, leaving just weeks for Athens and Brussels to reach a compromise or risk seeking Greece crash out of the euro.
"Extra Eurogroup on Greece on Wednesday 11 Feb," Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who heads the Eurogroup of finance ministers, said on Twitter.
An EU statement later added: "The ministers will exchange views on the way forward following the appointment of the new Greek government and considering that ... financial assistance to Greece expires at the end of February 2015."
Leaders of the 28 EU nations, including new Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras, are due to meet in Brussels the following day for a summit that is officially meant to focus on terrorism and Ukraine but will likely have to tackle Greece.
Mr Dijsselbloem had a notably chilly encounter with Mr Varoufakis – the "rock star" former economics professor who has caused a stir with his casual dress and radical plans – in Athens on January 31.
Sources had already told news agency AFP on Tuesday that a Eurogroup meeting on February 11 was very likely and would give Mr Varoufakis a chance to "put his ideas on the table".
Mr Tsipras and Mr Varoufakis, whose radical left Syriza party stormed to victory in elections on January 25, have gone on a tour of major European capitals this week to build support for a renegotiation of the country's bailout.
A further Eurogroup is already scheduled for February 16.
In December, the ministers agreed to extend Greece's bailout by two months from the end of 2014, pending a final inspection of its reform program in February.
Without the final sign-off, Greece would not get the last 1.8 billion euro loan instalment, leaving it at risk of a default.
The eurozone consists of 19 EU countries that use the euro as a single currency.

James DeLory
Scarborough Ontario
Eligible for draft:
Free agent, 2008
212 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2003-04: DeLory played defense for the first time for the York Simcoe Express after being a forward during his youth hockey days and was selected by the Oshawa Generals in the first round of the 2004 OHL draft (eighth overall).
2004-05: DeLory struggled in his first season with last-place Oshawa. The converted forward scored 1 goal with 4 assists and was -21 with 82 PIM in 61 games as the Generals won just 15 games in finishing in the bottom of the East division.
2005-06: Oshawa again finished last in the East division but Delory made tremendous strides in his second OHL season. Delory scored 6 goals with 26 assists and was -22 with 136 PIM in 67 games for the Generals, with four of his six goals coming on the power play. Delory was selected by the San Jose Sharks in the fourth round (98th overall) in the 2006 NHL entry draft.
2006-07: DeLory's season was one of ups and downs in his third year in Oshawa. On the positive side, the Generals finished second in the East division and advanced to the second round of the playoffs with DeLory an improved -11 plus/minus and also scoring timely goals, including two overtime, game-winners. On the downside, while his toughness and willingness to fight made the Generals a tough team for opposing teams to play, his lack of discipline and overzealousness at times led to suspensions and untimely penalties. Delory led the Generals with 167 PIM penalty minutes and scored 4 goals with 21 assists in 61 games. In nine playoff games, he had 4 assists and was -8 with 16 PIM as the Generals swept Kingston in the first round before falling to Belleville.
2007-08: Delory returned for his fourth season after attending camp with the Sharks. He scored 2 goals with 20 assists and was a respectable +3 with 154 PIM in 54 games. DeLory's sound defensive play was sometimes overshadowed by dirty play, which included a spearing incident with Sarnia that resulted in an eight-game suspension. Delory played well in the playoffs for Oshawa, scoring 1 goal with 8 assists and was +5 with 26 PIM as Oshawa advanced to the Eastern Conference finals. The Sharks chose to relinquish his rights and Florida signed him to an entry level contract in July.
2008-09: DeLory made his professional hockey playing one game with the Florida Everblades in the ECHL but was then sent back to Oshawa as an overage player. DeLory returned to playing forward and scored 4 goals with 6 assists and was -11 with 53 PIM in 33 games. DeLory received a 12-game suspension after slashing and then fighting Kingston's Nathan Moon in a February game.
HF's November 2008 Q&A with DeLory.
2009-10: DeLory was assigned to Bossier-Shreveport in the Central Hockey League. He appeared in 36 games with Bossier-Shreveport as a forward. DeLory scored 2 goals with 1 assist and was +2 with 78 PIM. He appeared in 11 playoff games for the Mudbugs and was +2 with 19 PIM.
Talent Analysis
DeLory is listed as a defenseman on the Panthers' prospect list but has played forward the past two seasons. He is a big bodied, banger at this point in his career with limited skating ability and has been out of control at times in the past. A throwback to the days where every team had two or three enforcers, DeLory is a project at this point in his career.
DeLory will need to have an impressive camp if he's to remain in the Panthers' organization. It was hoped that he could develop into a solid stay-at-home defenseman when the Sharks drafted DeLory in 2006. DeLory's lack of skating ability, along with limited technical skills and hockey sense, have not allowed that to happen. Instead, DeLory has relied on his toughness and fighting skills. At the pro level, his value is as an enforcer or "energy" player. While a team may have the need of his services, DeLory appears to be a career minor leaguer.

I am trying to get my head around windows sockets, however they are proving to be a lot more complex than in linux. So I decided to see just how much I would need to modify a simple echo client for linux to work in windows. I am using dev-c++ and I have changed all the parts of the program which I need to as far as I know. However, I still get errors about linking:
Now, I realised that my problem is probably me not linking the winsock library when compiler. So added "wsock32.lib" without quotes to tools->compiler options->compiler tab in the "Add these commands to the linker command line" box. The program compiles but fails to save the compiled copy, there are no compiler errors. It just claims the source file has not been compiled, and it is nowhere to be found in the specified folder. I'm pretty stumped, I thought that I might have forgot a command line switch in the linker box, but then it wouldn't work at all and I would still get the linker errors right?Code:[Linker error] undefined reference to `socket@12' [Linker error] undefined reference to `htons@4' [Linker error] undefined reference to `inet_addr@4' [Linker error] undefined reference to `connect@12' [Linker error] undefined reference to `send@16' [Linker error] undefined reference to `recv@16' ld returned 1 exit status

For now invest in back-end infra
Davos: India has told global retail chains like Wal-Mart and Tesco that they should invest in the back -end infrastructure, even as the issue of opening multi-brand retailing to foreign direct investment (FDI) is under "active consideration" by the government.
The message was conveyed by Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma to Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke and Tesco Chief Executive Terry Leahy here on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting.
"Multi brand can only come when the back-end infrastructure is created, that is where the farmer will get the remunerative prices at the door step.
In addition, tens of millions of jobs will be created.
You cannot say that I will have a front end in the absence of a back-end infrastructure," Sharma told reporters here.
Asked over the concerns of the retailers over policy delay on FDI in multi-brand retail, he said, "nobody is saying that the entire value chain will not be created. For India, investors will have to work out their individual model".
Sharma said his broad message to them was: "that every investment is an act of trust…Believe in India and you will not go wrong."
Asked how long will it take to take a decision on the FDI in retail, he said there cannot be any timelines.
In July last year, the Indian Government had floated a discussion paper on liberalising the politically-sensitive multi-brand retail. The sector employing over about 33 million people is dominated by mom and pop stores.
The minister said the investors need to devise India- -specific model and replicate.
Besides, it was pointed out to them that there has to be a minimum investment in back-end and "job creation and at least half of them in the rural areas," he said.
While FDI in multi-brand retail is prohibited in India, foreign investment in single brand retail — since being opened in April 2006 — is about Rs 900 crore, said the paper, on which comments are invited by July 31.
Pointing that India was losing agri products, fruits and vegetables to the tune of Rs one lakh crore annually, the discussion paper said that establishment of cold chains and back-end infrastructure could cut down the losses by more than half.
As per the Indian Planning Commission, infrastructure for the farm sector such as cold chain would need an investment of Rs 64,312 crore.
