Watch season 4 of sex and the city online free
Watch season 4 of sex and the city online free - national sex offender registry website
With all the hormones coursing through their young bodies, it's even worse. That being said, it wasn't slow enough to make me not watch the second episode, or the one after that. It has an allure, the concept is what makes it interesting.I can poke holes in every well liked show, as i'm sure many others can.
It was not as cliched as S1 and proved to contain a better plot and was a lot less linear. I'd like to add that there is an account that writes not so nice comments but continually watches the show. The makers of this show need a lesson in social psychology ...Based on the books by Kass Morgan, this show takes place 100 years in the future, when the Earth has been abandoned due to radioactivity.The last surviving humans live on an ark orbiting the planet — but the ark won't last forever.Ill always remember the great first 2 seasons of this show.I've gotten to know this show through a friend and I fell in love with it until Season 3 where the show went downhill for me.not too young for that huh lol 3 looney tunes Nah, Boss is on point. Nudity is the best and if you hate it than that's a you problem.
Maybe you're a body shamer, or maybe you don't feel comfortable in your own skin. First of all "Boss Hogg42" this is a really good TV show if you want nudity and swearing you are sick, if you can't get laid and jerk off to fucking tv shows don't comment on good tv shows just because it doesn't have nudity and swearing.I also plan to finish learning this plot (even though it has more holes than swiss cheese) because it is difficult to just drop a story just like that. " yeah, the actors aren't professional and famous and the budget isn't that big but everyone start somewhere.Hopefully they can finish off season 4 with a non-poc/lgbt-killing bang and that be the end of it. In my opinion the writing is quite good, if you give it a chance it'll surprise you.They did not kill her on purpose because she represented the LGBT community. The plot has so many twists and turns and many different story lines of different characters cross paths and intertwine it's crazy.Your brain explodes pretty much with every new episode. Now, When Seeing this Tv Series for the first time i was skeptical about the quality of the show.Oh how right i was - well, for the first season at least. I'd like to add that there is an account that writes not so nice comments but continually watches the show. Good show, but the characters doesn't make any sense.

ATB is the alias of progressive house/trance DJ and producer André Tanneberger, a native of Freiberg, Germany, born in 1973. ATB's catchy, vocal-driven singles crossed over from clubs to mainstream pop radio, making him one of the most recognizable artists of trance's late-'90s/early-2000s commercial peak. He is best known for his first single, "9 PM (Till I Come)," a euphoric yet chilled-out progressive house instrumental featuring a smooth, distinctive guitar riff. This guitar sound became ATB's trademark, but his lengthy discography has incorporated elements of ambient, drum'n'bass, and rock. His popularity has continued, earning him rankings in numerous international DJ polls, and he has a particularly strong following in Poland, where several of his studio albums and mix CDs have gone gold or platinum.
Tanneberger started his career in the early '90s, forming Euro-house group Sequential One in 1993. The group was moderately successful in Europe, releasing three albums and over a dozen singles until their dissolution in 1999. In the wake of remixes for acts including the Outhere Brothers, Technotronic, and Haddaway, Tanneberger began using the name ATB for his original solo material. He scored a major hit with 1998's "9 PM (Till I Come)," which hit number one in the U.K. and went gold or platinum in a few other countries. Similar-sounding 1999 follow-up "Don't Stop" nearly duplicated the success, and full-length debut Movin' Melodies arrived later that same year. The album also featured the single "Killer," a remake of the Seal and Adamski hit, with Drew Williams on vocals. The song was another smash hit, and began ATB's successful run of vocal trance anthems.
At the end of October 2000, Tanneberger released his sophomore album, Two Worlds. For the album, ATB collaborated with Heather Nova, Enigma, and the Canadian rock band Wild Strawberries. The release was a double CD, the first consisting of more dancefloor-friendly tunes and the second featuring more downtempo/ambient tracks. Following a few more hit singles, third album Dedicated appeared in 2002, featuring a hit cover of Olive's "You're Not Alone." Fourth album Addicted to Music arrived in 2003, along with a DVD of the same name that collected his music videos to date along with a U.S. tour documentary, interviews, and other content. Toward the end of the year, he also released The DJ in the Mix, his first of many continuous mix CDs.
Fifth studio album No Silence was released in 2004, featuring another DVD in its bonus edition. The year 2005 brought ATB's first retrospective compilation, Seven Years: 1998-2005, which featured all of his hits from that period as well as six new songs. The 2007 album Trilogy contained two discs, the first being more pop/rock-leaning and the second more ambient. Future Memories followed in 2009, and also featured separate uptempo/downtempo discs, but this time the uptempo disc featured tracks with higher BPMs influenced by drum'n'bass. The 2011 release Distant Earth expanded the format, not only featuring pop-trance songs on the first disc and downtempo/ambient tracks (including an Armin van Buuren collaboration) on the second, but also a club-centric third disc with the album's bonus edition. The album was followed later in the year by the two-CD remix collection Distant Earth Remixed. Contact, ATB's ninth studio album, continued his tradition of two discs focusing on dance and chillout tracks, as well as a bonus version featuring a third disc of remixes. Contact peaked in the Top Ten of the German and Polish charts. ATB returned in 2017 with his tenth effort, Next. ~ Jason Ankeny

Best of ASUS at IFA 2017
ASUS was at the IFA 2017 conference in full force, with a range of incredible new products and experiences. Come take a look at what ASUS had to offer at The Edge of Beyond at IFA 2017.
ASUS Windows Mixed Reality Headset
ASUS is breaking boundaries with a new Mixed Reality Headset. Thanks to a collaboration with Microsoft, it's possible to experience both real-world and virtual experiences in the same headset. Right away, you'll notice the sharp design. It's made of hundreds of 3D polygons in a beautiful two-tone effect. It's built for comfort with a light 400 g weight and premium antibacterial cushioning. It comes with controllers that have 32 LED lights each for motion tracking, and no need for external sensors. Combined with plug-and-play software, you're looking at a bare minimum amount of set-up time. After that, you're ready to enjoy games, movies, the web, and lots more at a level of immersion you've never experienced before.
ZenBook Flip 14
The ZenBook Flip 14 (UX461) is the next generation of slim, convertible laptops. It's the thinnest 2-in-1 laptop with discrete graphics in the world, which means you get all of the versatility of a tablet, while still being able to do serious video processing and gaming. The 8th Generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor is paired with NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics, a 512 GB SSD, and 16 GB of RAM to provide all of the power you need to get things done. In addition to the 360-degree reversible hinge, the ZenBook Flip 14 enjoys a super-slim 7.15 mm bezel, a 13.9 mm profile, ASUS Pen support for handwriting, and a generous 13 hours of battery life. All of that combined makes the ZenBook Flip 14 a perfect companion for life on the move.
ZenBook Flip 15
The ZenBook Flip 15 (UX561) takes a lot of the great features of the UX461 and kicks it up a notch for a 15.6-inch screen. With more room at its disposal, the ZenBook Flip 15 includes gaming-grade NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050 graphics, alongside the same 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM. This is without a doubt the most powerful ZenBook Flip to date. Not only is the display bigger, but it also tops out with 4K resolution.

This 2-in-1 PC is the perfect choice for creative professionals who need versatility and power every day.
ZenBook Flip S
The ZenBook Flip S (UX370) is a light, flexible 2-in-1 PC that excels in mobility. It's the world's thinnest and one of the lightest convertible laptops out there, at only 10.9 mm thin and 1.1 kg light. Though it was announced back at Computex, the ZenBook Flip S will be refreshed with an 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor, and have up to a 1 TB PCIe SSD. A 0.3 mm liquid crystal polymer fan impeller keeps it all running smoothly and stably. The view is absolutely amazing thanks to the 4K display and slim NanoEdge bezels. Touch and ASUS Pen support make it well-suited for natural input in any of its four orientations. The 360-degree ErgoLift hinge gently lifts the ZenBook Flip S when in laptop mode, providing a comfortable angle for typing. A fingerprint sensor ties in with Windows Hello for quick, secure access. If you're in the market for something that's a breeze to take with you and looks great, you'll want to check out the ZenBook Flip S.
VivoBook Flip 14
The VivoBook Flip 14 (TP401) perfect for those looking for a 2-in-1 PC on a budget. It affords all of the conveniences of a high-grade laptop – vibrant display, full-sized plugs, touch and stylus input – but in a convertible form factor. A unique fanless design lets the VivoBook Flip 14 operate at full capacity while keeping noise to a minimum. The overall design is especially impressive since it manages to fit a 14-inch full HD display into the body of a 13-inch laptop. With a battery-efficient Intel Core i7 processor, the VivoBook Flip 14 can last a full, busy day on a single charge. Thanks to ASUS Battery Health Charging Technology, you can even prolong the overall life of the battery by keeping the charge between 60% and 80%.
That's about it from ASUS at IFA 2017! With a wide range of new convertible laptops available, you're sure to find something that fits your needs and budget. You can dig into more details in the ASUS IFA 2017 press release here. If you're at IFA, be sure to visit the ASUS Sales and Media Lounge at Berliner Freiheit between September 1-2 and September 4-5.

The Social Security Tactic That Could Change Your Life
Widowhood Changes Everything
When you go from spouse to widow/widower, your whole life changes. Including your money. With
Clear as Mud
Let's start with the good news: There are surefire ways to maximize your social security benefits.
The bad news: The rules for collecting survivor (widow) benefits are beyond complicated. The amount to which you are entitled depends on factors like your age,
You need to understand every rule and every choice to avoid missing out on money to which you are entitled.
Making Matters Muddier
The February 2018 audit report released by the Social Security Administration (SSA) Office of the Inspector General reveals that the SSA failed to inform 82% of beneficiaries entitled both to survivor and their own benefits of the option to claim a larger benefit. In fact, the audit estimates that the SSA underpaid 9,224 widows and widowers who were age 70+ by approximately $131.8 million. (For more about why the SSA may be shortchanging widows/widowers in this way, click here).
What the Social Security Administration Might Not Tell You
As this CBS
When you choose this claim option, you elect to claim your survivor benefits and delay applying for your own benefits until age 70. This delay allows your own benefits to continue growing by 8% annually from your full retirement age (also known as FRA, which is age 65 to 67, depending upon when you were born) up to age 70. Survivor benefits do not increase after FRA and can be accessed as early as age 60 at a reduced amount
According to the aforementioned Inspector General's report, the additional benefits of filing such a restricted application can be substantial, as this example illustrates:
A widow turned 70 in
The Bottom Line
The transition to widowhood can be overwhelming. Facing irrevocable financial decisions without being provided
Before deciding when to begin your social security benefits, consider consulting with a knowledgeable professional financial planner who will work as your advocate.

Well I have 6.4a now. I can see Vuze, my Dtivo will not assiocate with profile. Still does not work for me. I restarted vuze
I have had victory in going from 6.2 > 6.4a from slices. That was easy enough, seeing how I have not done this in forever. Feels pretty good. Few questions that need simple responses for, I am yes...
Just for the sake of not starting a new thread this seems like the right place. I have a tivo thats used primarly as a server to my subbed tivos. My server is still on 4.01b software I think it is...

Phillips dsr704
Just time to die I guess. don't really know, but its been placed and working fine..
Replaced a 2200uf Capacitor. All is good again:D
I would be willing to try this on 6.3 on dtivo, but it all seems to complicated to do so, with tivoserver for 6.2. Although I do like alot the features that comes with hme.
well since I got so many replies, I tested some stuff and yes its the power supply. I am posting this incase someone else runs into this problem.:D
Just want to check with you guys about this, one of my tivo's when powered up, just blinks from green to red, and if left on for a few, blinks very fast from green to red, I am figuring power...

I am getting an error from your Ui, It seems I need the new version of cygwin.dll, could someone post it.
Ok its been a while since I have done this. My question is simple are people still buying phillips dsr 704 & 708 and the older model directv tivo's? If yes, then WILL directv send new cards for...
so where is the lastest stable build?cygwin? I have reinstalled windows without cygwin, does this even matter now, with nay newer builds.
Read the sticky threads in the newbie forum. That should get you started. Good luck
ethernet cable, dtivo 6.2, backport
I have always got fast transfer speeds, now today I can only get 0.5 mb p/s. What could cause this??
try virtual dub mp3 version. Assuming you know how to use it?:D
don't double post, it can get your in trouble on this board.
you need to install cygwin
Go Bill...Go Bill....Go Bill.......
I am all for improvements, but lets face reality that this is by far the best software for the tivo. Just my 2 cents. Although there are limits to what can be done, but its freeware, and great work...
I have a pal reslution 720 x 576 when transferring to the tivo, it puts green garbage at the problem. Is there any tweaks I can do, that would make this play proper without rencoding?
Does this seem to be more reliable and stable for tivoserver??
BTUxNine said he was going on vacation so I suggest for now, going back to a earlier release.
i was replying to drez, but dvdshrink has some settings, deep analysis that can be applied, even though it takes longer to encode does a awesome job. I can reduce a main movie down to about 3.2g...
Look at the names bud.. Dvdshrink reduces size..Does DVD Decrypter do this I don't think so...
Search for Chunkedit
Ok sorry guys, thanks for the help. loks like a fried adapter. replaced with a different one from another tivo works now, looks like I need to buy another one. i feel like a complete jackass now!
Thanks for the tips. Check the log to see you what you think?
I have searched a bit, and really can not find the exact answer I need. I have one tivo that is used as a server. Its been running great for a year or so now without any issues. The other day I am...
no, but it would be nice however if tivoserver encouters a problem, it does not crash. Having to restart it because of screwed file is a pain..
since you did nothing to it while it was sitting? Hard Drive failure perhaps?
dvd shrink
Possible quicktime (mov) support future release???
Post your tverror log?
I think you all need to move this to a different thread, perhaps tivoweb thread etc...
whats next for tivoserver?
Looks like you need to read alot first about "Hacking your Tivo"?
Did you place the jumper back into the correct place on the drive? Maybe??
Owner@Bobby /usr/src/tivoserver_0.4
$ ./configure
checking build system type... configure: error: cannot guess build type; you mus
t specify one
Well two bugs I hope get fixed?
1. Ty files > 2gb play
2. Video missing Audio fine. Possible Resloution problem
Attached are the eroors take a look see...
Is there any known bugs to video resloution of avi's or mpg, etc. I seem to be getting some errors of these? Do they have to be multiple of 2???
somebody post a correct mplex binary for cygin to work with ty files under tivoserver?Please
There is a script here somewhere that puts it back on the main menu for 6.2. Look for it. TIVOWARE(member) wrote it!!
Go to the user interface option. Pull up the now playing and click on the Not an Episode--Program Info should give you option at the bottom to edit.
Found Magic number: '2078917053'
Found Show By ID: 2238496804
Input #0, mpeg, from 'D:/video/Bad Boys Collection/Bad Boys.mpg':
Duration: 01:54:53.9, start: 0.448800, bitrate: 2756 kb/s
Will do. Has there been any progress on mulitple interface issues??
I still have some mpg's with no video..
New Version Release Date???
Yeah , it will work. I have 3 dtivo that just store recordings.
Got any ideas on fix for multiple interface issues??;)
Pretty Much figured out the problem I was having. It seems that just not any avi will play. The resolution has to be multiple of 2 for some avi's to work. Is there any work around?
Try this
mount -o remount,rw /
When done transfering change back to
mount -o remount,ro /
Also make sure your transfer in binary mode..
Some avi's lockup tivoserver? Some avi's that played before no longer do.
This is most common error I get "Error sending Record and Timestamp"
Let it call in, get all the updates it needs. Hack your brain's out after do so.
yes lets fix this mulitple interface problem by having setting file.
So What's in the works for tivoserver? Mpeg support? Interface Settings? Bug Fixes? It seems like the last week or so this thread has slowed down alot. Just curious whats happen.:D
Is winvo in the mplayer directory?
It would also be good if configuration included using the correct interface, without having to disable interfaces, changing metrics etc.
Got it finally. thanks beth-o. I moved .tivoserver folder into the /home and all is well. When compling tivoserver it automaticly put it into home/owner directory. Works great..

Adaptive Technology Center for the Blind
By Kyle Shulman, Global Engagement Policy Manager, Internet Society.
Ethiopia, a population of 100 million residents is one of Africa's most developed countries. On the ICT and technology side Ethiopia has a unique situation where Internet access is under the government of Ethiopia's control. There is very little competition. Internet access is provided nation-wide by Ethio Telecom. This allows the government to control the marketplace and set pricing and licensing of Internet. In doing so it creates some difficulties for providing Internet and communications across the country as access to competitively priced communications is limited. Mobile phone penetration in Ethiopia is only at around 40% of the population, and only 2% of the population have fixed-line Internet connections in their homes. In order for the majority of Ethiopians to access the web they rely on Internet Cafés as Internet access points.
Ethiopia is also home to around 500,000 residents that are visually impaired and ICT technologies and training are critical to allow these individuals the opportunity to work and live independent lives. ICTs and Internet are critical as they provide a vehicle for empowerment to learn and access information. Libraries and other resources in Ethiopia can only accommodate visually impaired persons to a limited degree, but the Internet provides a near infinite opportunity for knowledge and employment.
The Adaptive Technology Center for The Blind (ATCB) set up the Pioneers Collegiate for the Blind, a training center that provides visually challenged citizens the opportunity to learn vocational skills and basic computer skills to improve their quality of life. In 2008, the ATCB received a license from the government to operate as the Technical Vocational and Education Training (TVET) institute. Since 2008 the TVET annually has trained a cohort of 20 -30 individuals. The ATCB organizes events to build capacity and awareness in assistance technologies partnering with UNESCO, ITU, and the Internet Society.
The ATCB has built an Internet Café in the center of Addis Ababa with 10 computer terminals equipped with adaptive technologies and text-to-speech translation software that enable visually challenged users to utilize the Internet at their ease. The Center also houses a Braille Transcription Center that houses over 2000 texts and literature in both English and Amharic.
The ATCB provides a haven for those with visual impairments to empower themselves, and to access the Internet in a country where it is a challenge for those without impairments to access the web. The center has provided these individuals with skills and knowledge that they can apply in the real world to gain employment, and the opportunity to live fruitful and independent lives that would not otherwise be possible without the use of ICTs and access to the Internet.
To learn more about the ATCB please visit their website or see the case study.

Dateline 2013
Last December, most tech journalists rounded off 2012 with the prediction that 2013 would blow the socks off anything that 2012 had to offer. Thankfully most of these hyperboles have fallen right on target.brunch Updated: Jun 08, 2013, 18:55 IST
Last December, most tech journalists rounded off 2012 with the prediction that 2013 would blow the socks off anything that 2012 had to offer. Thankfully most of these hyperboles have fallen right on target. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is out and selling millions, the HTC One has made serious waves, BlackBerry has the Z10 and the Q10, Microsoft has announced the Xbox One, Google Glass has intrigued the world, the Basis Band is out to rave reviews and the world of personal trackers is on fire! Do we have much left for 2013? Actually we've just scratched the tip of the iceberg. Here's how the rest of 2013 will look like.
Scanadu Scout: The Star Trek tricorder comes alive to bridge the link between technology and health. Place it on your forehead and it gives you an immediate analysis of your body; all the stuff a doctor does. It measures your temperature, blood oxygenation, stress level, gives you a medical-grade electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure reading, and gives you a full blown urine analysis (with an add-on kit). This disc-like device could predict you're coming down with something before it happensCool Leaf Touchscreen Keyboard: Almost everyone seems to think that this seductive looking device is the next big thing. What's not to like? It's a flat, shiny, touchscreen keyboard, very light with beautiful backlighting modes. The only problem: typing sucks like it does on all touchscreen devices. With no tactile feedback, this is like drumming your fingers against your table – never a good sensation.
Looxcie LX2 Wearable Video Cam: It's a camera for your ears and you wear it like a Bluetooth headset. It streams EarCam-level video right to your phone (iOS or Android), has internal memory and can also upload directly to the web. It's a hybrid of Google Glass, Sports Action-capturing cams, and a plain weird accessory.
Blackberry Q5: The BB 10 phone for the rest of us. After breaking the hearts of all BlackBerry users who don't have R40,000 of spare change to plonk down for the Z10 or the Q10, the Q5 may well be the tipping point. By the time this economy BB phone is out, BBM will be on all other platforms and the true test of the BB strategy will come into play. Overall this is a nice-looking device, thin, colourful and very hip. Has to be sub-15k to make a difference.
iPad Mini Retina: This one is a given. The real thrust of iPad sales are now from the Mini. Expect the same body and shell, slightly souped-up specs, more internal storage and a retina screen. On the smaller sized display, that will be a feature to make those on the fence jump right in.
Motorola X: Google bought them out and the world expected a tectonic shift in smartphones. Instead, Google downscaled Motorola, withdrew from many countries and continued with the most boring phones. Enter the Motorola X, touted as the world's most powerful Android phone, ever! Stock Android, no gimmickry and smoking hardware. Can the X take on the S4?
Apple watch: After the Pebble watch and half a dozen other contenders, Apple will try to own the most premium real estate in the world – your wrist. The Apple Watch will play nicely with your iPhone and give you all the info off it, plus add some functionality. Should sell well as the iFan Boys will offer their wrists up for adorning in droves.
Nokia 41-megapixel Lumia: This one is in the bag too. With steady sales of Lumia phones, the 520 selling in serious numbers and the Windows interface finally gaining traction, the 41-megapixel Pureview will be an incredible flagship for Nokia. This better be a good-looking phone. The previous Pureview didn't get purists excited.
iPhone 5S/6: I really hope they call it the 6 as somehow this whole S thing is kind of a downer and makes the product seem like a stop-gap filler. Completely revamped, all-new OS, totally different look and feel, a fingerprint scanner, wireless charging and a bigger full-HD screen. That's the wish list. Now how much gets delivered is Tim Cook's prerogative.
Apple TV: A lot of speculation, great hype and serious noise. May I go out on a limb and say this: you're not going to get an Apple TV to hang on your wall this year. So power that one off for now!
The next Samsung Note: For many, the Galaxy Mega phones seem to have cut the legs off any future Note phones. Not true. The next Note will up the ante with a full-HD screen and will take the stylus-aware usage of the phone to a new level, plus throw in some typical Samsung-ish jiggery-pokery where they will be able to fit in a bigger screen in a thinner, smaller frame. Between the S4 and the next Note, Samsung will laugh all the way to the bank. Many more products will dot the tech calendar in 2013. HTC may have the One+, Sony will take Xperia levels higher and get the PS4 out, Asus and Lenovo will bring in more astounding products, and jaw-droppers may appear from unknown companies inventing stuff at breakneck speed. Like everyone said six months ago, 2013 continues its journey to become a true socks-blower-offer year.

Beijing National Stadium is a stadium in Beijing, China. It is officially called the National Stadium and also known as the Bird's Nest (鸟巢). The stadium was made for use during the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics.
The stadium cost US$423 million. A shopping mall and a hotel are planned to be built. This will increase use of the stadium. There was trouble attracting events, football and otherwise, after the Olympics.[4]
The eastern and western stands of Beijing National Stadium are higher than northern and southern stands. This is in order to improve sightlines.[5] A 24-hour per day rainwater collector is near the stadium. After water is purified, it is used throughout and around the stadium.[6][7] Pipes were placed under the playing surface to gather heat in the winter to warm the stadium and coldness in the summer to cool the stadium. The stadium's design originally could fit 100,000 people. 9,000 seats were removed from the design. Then 11,000 temporary seats were removed after the 2008 Olympics. Now the stadium can have 80,000 people.[3][8]
The stadium hosted the 2009 Race of Champions.[9] In July 2010, the stadium hosted a friendly football match between Premier League team Birmingham City and Beijing Guoan. In August 2011, the Bird's Nest hosted the Supercoppa Italiana. This was the stadium's second in three years.
The 2015 World Championships in Athletics will take place at the Beijing National Stadium.[10]

KELOWNA – It's unusual for Ryan Kaila to walk into a room at UBC Okanagan and not know anyone.
"I consider myself a pretty well-known person around campus," he says. "But I walked into this cultural club event and I didn't know a single person there. I noticed that all of these groups get the same people at each of their events so I started a group called Harmony and invited all the cultural club presidents to discuss what can be done. I went home and thought about it and came up with the idea of doing a banquet."
What started as a group of people trying to bring the different clubs together is now a major event. And it could become an annual tradition at the Kelowna campus.
Harmony is a new social event attempting to bring together students from all backgrounds as a way to celebrate diversity and unity. It includes a banquet and a series of performances happening tonight, Oct. 2, at the UNC Amphitheatre.
The night starts at 6 p.m. with a banquet featuring foods representing the cultures of each of the ten clubs that have agreed to participate.
"Every club will provide food and do a five-minute performance," Kaila says. "Then we'll open it up as a dance. It's a platform for the clubs to reach out to students that wouldn't otherwise come to their events."
The evening will be hosted by Toronto comedian and YouTube star Babbu and will include clubs like the South Asian Alliance, Association of Bangladeshi Students, the African Caribbean Student Club and the Napalese Scholars Association, among others.
"It's a huge networking event and a chance to meet new people," he says. "And maybe gain knowledge and get rid of some stereotypes, as well."
Kaila hopes to make Harmony an annual event and expects more than 500 people will attend tonight.
Tickets are available to both students and non-students at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.
For more information, visit the Harmony event page on Facebook.

Effective OTC acne treatments
Best treatments to get rid of acne
There is a wide selection of over-the-counter acne treatments that are available on the market. Many people who are dealing with acne first go to the store or local pharmacy to browse and purchase some of the over-the-counter treatments that have been recommended by their friends. Although these treatments are supported on the television, it is always a good ideal to consult with your doctor before you use any type of over-the-counter medication. Acne is a fairly simple condition, but a doctor will be able to provide you with the best suggestions on how to deal with it based on what type of acne that you may have.
It is often difficult to choose which treatment you should use because of the large amount of products that are always available. You cannot always depend on the recommendations of your friends or family regarding these treatments, because although one product may work well for one individual, it may not work the best for another. Instead, it is better for you to do research about some of the active ingredients that are present in acne medication so that you may make an informed choice based on your individual needs.
A popular ingredient that is common in many acne treatments is benzoyl peroxide. You can usually find it in ointments and gels, and it works by fighting the bacteria that is associated with pimples. It is also great for removing the dead skin cells that clog up the pores of the skin. Dead skin cells combine with sebum and can create whiteheads and blackheads.
Lesions can also be combated by the use of benzoyl peroxide. Individuals can continue using it after acne has disappeared in order to prevent future breakouts from bacteria. Although it causes dry skin as a side effect, this can be avoided by only using the ingredient with moderation. It should be applied with care because it can also bleach hair and clothing if not used correctly.
Salicylic acid is another popular ingredient that is included in many acne medications. This helps to prevent acne by clearing the dead skin cells that clog the pores. Products which use this ingredient should continue to be used even after the breakouts have ended in order to prevent any future breakouts. This ingredient also has a side effect of dry skin.
Sulphur and resorcinol are more ingredients that can be found in acne treatments. Resorcinol is known for peeling the top layer of the skin, which is used to help remove dead skin. It is combined with sulphur in most acne medications. Although it is not known how sulphur is able to treat acne, it has successfully been used for over 50 years. It is also combined with ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylate. Commonly, it is paired with other ingredients because it has a strong and unpleasant odor on its own.
Benzoyl peroxide is the most versatile out of most of the ingredients that are used to treat acne. It can be used in lotion, gels, cream, and cleansing liquids for the skin. These products can be used throughout the date as necessary. They can be used on the skin around the acne or also on pimples for more effective results. Because it can be an irritant to the eyes, mouth, and nose, it must be used with care when using your acne treatments.

Segway Team Building
Segway Team Building
The right combination of team-work and fun.
This Team Building activity works whether you have a team of 6 or 36. It brings your team together to communicate and work out strategies for winning. One Team will have the competitive edge and become "The Segway Champions". The communication activity will enable you to grow a stronger more resilient team.
Run on location in Devonport you turn up and we'll take care of all the details. People learn best when it's a fun environment; therefore, this is the the ideal Auckland team building activity.
Your group is divided into teams to compete in relay style races on a Segway. We progressively add in tasks to be completed while riding the Segway to eventually find the 'Champion Team.'
The Segways are then available for a short time to have 'free-riding' time in the park. The event runs for 1 ½ hours.
Contact us to work out the finer details
Call 027 3393 155 or 09 445 4035
We may be out touring so please leave a message we will always get back to you.
If you're coming from the city you can take the 12 minute ferry ride from the downtown terminal. Once here you'll find us inside the Devonport Ferry Terminal.
Here's the link to the ferry timetable:
Booking for the Ferry is not necessary as they run every ½ hour during the day.
If you're driving from the City over the bridge you need to allow 45 minutes as traffic can be heavy coming into Devonport via Lake Road.
There is free 3-hour car parking outside the ferry terminal building. Alternatively, you will need to find parking in the streets around the village.
Mt Cambria (also Sheep Hill or Takararo) is one of the volcanoes in the Auckland volcanic field.
Its 30-metre scoria cone was quarried away. The site is now Cambria Reserve.
Magic Broomstick Tours are So Much FUN!
But don't just take our word for it…
"This was a perfect team-building event for us. Logistically it was simple and easy to get there since we work down town, was just a short ferry ride over to Devonport. We found it was really well organized and well run – we just had to turn up.
As a team building event this was perfect for our team of 20 as there was the right combination of team-work, competition and a whole lot of fun and laughs. Would highly recommend it."

"Pauline ran a fantastic team building session for my team. It was good fun whilst still being a bit challenging as we were all beginners.
All of the team picked it up really quickly and had great things to say about the event well into the following weeks.
A big thanks to Pauline and I would highly recommend Pauline to anyone wanting a fun, different and worthwhile team building event."

A man was killed Tuesday night when he was hit by a car as he crossed the street at Main Street and Union Boulevard in Bethlehem, police said.
"At 8 tonight, a pedestrian male was struck by a motor vehicle," city police Chief Mark DiLuzio said. "He was declared deceased at the scene."
DiLuzio did not have the accident victim's name. He said the man will be identified by the Northampton County coroner's office after relatives are notified.
"The intersection is closed," he said. "People are being detoured around it. Because it's a fatal, police will be doing an accident reconstruction at the scene.
"The driver is an elderly man," the chief said. "He is being interviewed" by police as part of the investigation.
Moments after the accident, medics radioed that the pedestrian was unconscious and had no pulse. CPR was applied, but he could not be revived.

The birth of punk rock in New York City will be chronicled in a film about the club CBGB and its owner, the late Hilly Kristal, according to the film's producers, one of whom is Kristal's daughter.
Brad Rosenberger, Randall Miller, Jody Savin and Kristal's daughter Lisa Kristal Burgman will produce the film, tentatively titled "CBGB," that will cover the years 1974 to '76 when the Bowery club became a haven for the Ramones, Talking Heads, Television and Patti Smith.
Miller and Savin are writing the script; Savin will direct.
Kristal, who died in 2007, was a trained violinist who opened CBGB with the intention of booking country, bluegrass and blues bands. Instead he found a new breed of rock acts that he wound up nurturing.
"It was an old-fashioned salon in an awful part of New York where people could fail while they worked to find their voice," Savin told Bllboard.com. "He provided a voice to the disenfranchised. It's a heroic and flawed story."
Through Burgman's extensive connections, the producing team has been interviewing artists about Kristal and the club. The "surrogate parent" relationship he had with many of the artists, Rosenberger said, has the producers confident they will be able to secure music rights from various bands for the film.
Scheduling is being worked out, but a late fall start is being eyed. The film is being financed by independent backers and individuals.

$ cnpm install node-parallel
Parallel provide a simple but powerful way for management of parallel async call.
Normally we use async or promise for parallel async control. They can resolve every kind of async control problem we get, but the problem is they've done too much and it's neither easy to remember the complicated APIs nor refactoring the code.
Consider chemzqm/serial if you want to control serial callbacks, they have almost the same API.
Via npm:
npm install node-parallel
Via component:

'Hug a Liberal Economist' Week Continues (April Monthly Treasury Statement Shows Record-Shattering Receipts)
The final April results are in. The current fiscal year's deficit is quite a bit less than half of what it was at this time last year:
As noted previously, the April spending number was expected to go up, because April 2006′s spending was lower than just about every month before or after it in fiscal 2006. But total spending for the fiscal year thus far is still well below the 4%-5% level I assumed when I predicted that this year's deficit will be $177 billion. At the same time, collections thus far are way higher than the 9% I was using. It would be nice to think that 11%-plus will hold, but I don't think it will; upside surprises are, of course, always welcome, I'll take 10% in a heartbeat.
So go and give one of your liberal economist friends a hug. They must be nearly despondent over this huge vindication of supply-side economics' tenet that, within a relevant range, decreasing marginal tax rates will increase revenues. That case is sooooo closed.
I still think that the full-year deficit could be as high as $150 billion. But looking at the remaining 5 months, here is a not-improbable scenario: If May-September receipts come in 10% ahead of May-September 2006 (vs. 11.2% so far), and spending during that same period only increases 3.7% (the year-to-date increase has only been 3.2%), the deficit at the end of this fiscal year will be $81 billion — right where it was at the end of April.
Now just think how good economic life could be if there were another supply-side tax cut to further increase general revenues and economic growth (four separate cuts worked to do just that in the US in the 1980s, Hong Kong, Ireland, Estonia, and Iceland), Social Security privatization to save that program, and Health Savings Accounts to deal with Medicare.
(Sigh) Considering who's running Congress, it's only a nice dream, as a subscription-only Wall Street Journal editorial pointed out yesterday:
Still, you'd think this dramatic fiscal turnaround would cheer up Capitol Hill. Instead, Congressional Democrats seem to live in a parallel universe — one that they claim is starved for revenues, with a runaway deficit, and is dominated by the rich who pay no taxes at all. The reality is that the wealthy are financing Democratic spending ambitions, and the deficit could easily vanish within a year or two if Congress has the good sense to leave current tax policy in place.
UPDATE: By the way, the old record for collections was set in April 2001 at $331.8 billion (April 2001 still has the all-time record for the largest single-month surplus at $189.8 billion). The new receipts record shatters the old by over 15%. Neither the previous record nor the degree by which the new one exceeds it can be found in this report — the one tomorrow's newspapers are going to run with — by good old Martin "How Can I Minimize the Good News about the Economy Today?" Crutsinger of the Associated Press.
UPDATE 2, May 11: Skeptical Optimist has moved his projected budget break-even month up to April 2008.

The CLP Regulation specifies that Member State Competent Authorities (MSCAs) as well as manufacturers, importers or downstream users may submit proposals for harmonised classification and labelling (CLH proposals) of substances to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) (Article 37, CLP).
Manufacturers, importers and downstream users may propose CLH for those substances
Such proposals would normally pertain to any of the carcinogenicity, germ cell mutagenicity and reproductive toxicity (CMR) or respiratory sensitisers hazard classes (and differentiation(s) within the hazard class where applicable), but also to any other hazard classes or differentiations on a case-by-case basis if justification for action at EU level is provided in the proposal (Article 36(1) and (3), CLP). CLH proposals must be submitted to ECHA in the form of a dossier (hereinafter referred to as 'CLH dossier') prepared in accordance with the requirements of the CLP Regulation (see Section 3.3). The provisions of Title V of the CLP Regulation on the harmonisation of classification and labelling also apply to active substances in plant protection products (PPP) and biocidal products (BP), regulated by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (the PPPR) and Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 (BPR), respectively (Article 36(2), CLP). With regard to these substances, the harmonisation of classification and labelling should normally apply to all hazard classes.

The Language Requirement is part of Columbia's mission to prepare students to be informed and culturally sensitive citizens. Knowledge of another language and culture is the best way to understand the contingent and constructed nature of one's own culture, and therefore to appreciate both its achievements and its shortcomings. The two years of language study that are required by Columbia University represent the minimum proficiency needed to achieve this goal.
The Spanish Language Program seeks to foster and sustain a continued progress in the development of a student's language proficiency throughout their undergraduate career. Specifically, our program aims to educate students so that they will be able to successfully function not only in everyday Spanish-language environments, but also particularly in Spanish-language academic contexts, which require a precise, informed language proficiency, with activities (from the earliest levels) that are not limited to functionally communicating in daily foreign-language contexts, but that include, among other tasks, understanding and interpreting literary and cultural texts, listening to lectures and taking notes, participating in class discussions, understanding the grammatical inner-workings of the target language, answering exam questions, delivering oral presentations on complex topics, doing research, and writing papers in the target language.
This means that, throughout the four semesters of Spanish, the curriculum is designed to teach and train students to the steady and successful acquisition of a pedagogical, operational approach to a usage-based Spanish grammar, as well as a broad general knowledge of diverse literary and cultural artifacts that will provide them with a background knowledge of relevant historical and cultural developments, and the basic methodological and linguistic tools necessary for a critical cultural analysis of these artifacts in an academic context.
Through the application of this 'integrated curriculum', we therefore build our courses in a meaningful, motivated foreign language instruction for specific (academic) purposes that focuses on grammatical form from a cognitive perspective, and a task-based, collaborative approach to the learning of language and culture as a whole.
For the 1001 level, and drawing from the objectives of the Common European Framework of Reference for the Teaching of Foreign Languages, the main goals at this level are:
- To understand and produce very commonly used sentences to satisfy immediate needs.
- To introduce yourself and others and to ask and answer questions about personal details such as the place where you live, people you know and things you have.
- To be able to have basic interactions with people who speak clearly, slowly and are ready to cooperate.
To understand simple and brief written and audiovisual texts in Spanish

98g x2: Pineapple Jam with Ginger, Lime Marmalade with Ginger
Great Taste Awards 2015 – 1 Star (Pineapple Ginger, Lime Ginger)
Dalemain World Marmalade Awards 2016 – Gold (Lime Ginger)
Fresh young ginger adds heat, fragrance and spice to many forms of Asian cuisine. Discover our two different ginger taste experiences:
Pineapple with fresh young ginger is a strong, bold statement of fresh, tart pineapple blended beautifully with spicy ginger that will give a bite to sourdough toast, a tropical twist in a cupcake, or add sweet, sour, and spicy overtones to a stir-fry.
Lime marmalade with fresh young ginger is a more subtle, "layered" taste experience where the tanginess of tropical lime, gives way to a smooth, pleasurable kick of fresh ginger. It's a sublime transition! This marmalade pairs perfectly with goats cheese, and gives a baked apple with butter and sultanas a fresh dimension.

Giver Success Creates Value. Are You a Giver?
When the weekly Brain Pickings newsletter landed in my inbox, I clicked on their link that took me to an excellent summary of the book: Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam M. Grant, Ph.D. I have not yet read the book, however I found the review intriguing.
According to the review, the book breaks people out into three interaction or reciprocity styles (Givers, Takers and Matchers) and how each one leads to varying degrees of success. What grabbed my attention was this quote about givers:
… But there's something distinctive that happens when givers succeed: it spreads and cascades … Givers succeed in a way that creates a ripple effect, enhancing the success of people around them. You'll see that the difference lies in how giver success creates value, instead of just claiming it.
Givers are the type of people who use their own gifts and talents to "amplify the smarts and capabilities of others," like Liz Wiseman's Multipliers. In the workplace, givers share their ideas, knowledge, information, time and energy. They are neither doormats nor do they give for strategic purposes. I know many people for whom this is natural.
However, each one of us can be a giver. It's a choice.
A little story. I met Sam (not his real name) less than a year ago by a chance encounter, and he is most definitely a giver who contributes to the lives of many, without strings. He shares his experience and hard-earned wisdom, generously. Through his mentoring, we have learned to expand our ability to see more broadly and with finer distinctions. He's taught us a language to articulate what we see that provides clarity. As a result, we have become more skilled at our craft, and our clients and relations are beneficiaries.
Sam brings out my best and my desire to pay it forward. Meeting Sam has changed the course of my life.
We may never know the ripple effect our acts of generosity, kindness, caring, listening, support, and sharing of ourselves–have on another. When we give each other a hand up, it's a win-win.
We feel good, we help someone else, others are happy for our success (according to the article, people tend to be happy for the success of givers), and it has a multiplying effect.
Can you remember that special adult who made a difference in your life? The teacher who believed in you and your talents? The boss who shared her earlier career mistakes so you would know you were not alone? The important stranger who said a kind word just when you most needed it?
The thing is, regardless of whether we are a giver, taker or matcher, what we say and do has a ripple-on effect.
What a profound responsibility that is.
With each action we take, each sentence we utter or write, each tweet, FB or G+ post, we make a difference to someone, somewhere.
Each of us has the possibility to forward and change the course of humanity for the better … We can leave a legacy that lives on in the hearts and minds of others, well beyond the death of our physical form.
Recently, I watched an interview of a physician on one of the major news networks in the US, who shared the story of her near death experience. While unconscious, she went through a life review and saw the ripple-on effect of her words and deeds. She was able to witness at least 35 layers beyond the person immediately affected.
What if that's true? It begs the question, "what are the ripples you intend to spread, even if you never know how what you do, matters?"
Please join the conversation. Who has given generously and made a difference in your life? What was the effect on you and others?
(For a terrific article that delves into the book, check out Kare Anderson's review in Forbes)

I finished reading this book recently, and it does really make you think about how you approach life and work, as well as others around you. It also resonates in how some of the social media communities work, especially how the sharing back and forth works. A thoughtful book that provokes us to think and adjust…. what a good book should!
I have been blessed in my life with people who really made a difference. It extends from my college freshman English professor to my first real job in Washington, DC. Givers are leaders and create more leaders…. we need a community of more givers in this world!
JonApril 23, 2013
Hi Jon,
Yes, it made me think about the social media communities too and you are most certainly a giver in that environment–the place where we meet. It feels so good to track back and remember all those special people who touched us, who made a difference in our lives. Beyond some particular family members, my third grade teacher is the first one who comes to mind. She had a positive influence in my life in several ways.
So let's make sure we are grow a community of givers and make a difference!
Thanks for showing up to comment, Jon!

Several moons ago, way back in 1998 or 1999, I was talking with a friend of mine about fear and love. Specifically, we were talking about the choices we make in our actions and feelings, which led us to musing about whether or not which path we choose to walk matters when we express ourselves creatively. I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that I felt that it does matter, as I'm assuming that at least somewhere during this year long project I mentioned my heartfelt stance that the surest way for me, for us, to make this world a better place it to "let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me". Nowadays, this idea has been more readily embraced as "be the change you wish to see in the world".
While we were talking, my friend said that he had a CD that he thought I might like. He walked next door to his apartment and brought back "There's No Place Like Om", the first CD by Troubadours of Divine Bliss. I listened and listened again, and fell in love. These ladies were singing my heart.
Life being as it is, my husband and I moved in the fall of 1999, and quickly became pregnant with our son. Three years later, our daughter arrived. The CD sat nestled in with all of the others in the living room, forgotten. Temporarily. My life morphed and changed as I made my way through the early days of motherhood. Expressing myself creatively became all about my babies, in the songs I sang and the stories I told, and about building my eBay toy business so that I could work from home. Many aspects of who I am seemed to be set aside, like the CD in the drawer. Temporarily.
In 2007, my daughter began full day preschool. My plan was to spend that extra free time building my eBay business into something that could really help with the family finances. After having been featured in "Parents Magazine" and the local Fox morning show the previous May, this seemed a realistic goal. However, I ran into a compatibility issue when eBay updated their Turbo Lister software, and before we could replace my old desktop with a laptop that fall, I had already fallen headlong into creative expression. The silence of those days I was home and alone was a golden gift. Another friend of mine told me about MySpace, so I opened an account and I got a new camera.
In the beginning, I primarily shared my writing, both poetry and prose ~ meanderings of the mind, silly and serious. Later, I began posting images as well: photos, drawings, and later still, digital creations. Somewhere along the way, I began setting the posts to music. During the creation of one of my posts, I wrote "there's no place like om". It felt right and true, but had a vaguely familiar ring to it, as if I had heard that line before. Thinking on it, I could picture the purple CD jacket in my mind and went in search of the CD. We have a lot of CDs, and despite their being in alphabetical order, it didn't do me any good because I couldn't remember the band's name. I called my friend. It took him awhile to work through what possible CD he may have given me 8 or 9 years earlier. I reminded him of our conversation about fear and love. He remembered. I found the CD under "T". I listened to it again. And again. "Be Brave" became my personal theme song. Many of my digital creations were made listening to these beautiful, powerful songs, and were posted with the music playing in the background. Morcheeba's "Fear and Love" was also popular around my place, as was Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You".
All this backstory will hopefully allow you to share more fully in my excitement today, another seven years hence! The short(er) version of the passing of those years is:
Eventually MySpace died for artists of my ilk, but not before my friends there encouraged me to get my work out in the 3D world. This coincided with a seldom seen neighbor of mine showing up on my porch asking me if I wanted to showcase my art at a benefit show. (She had remembered a conversation we had at her yard sale about my MySpace expressions.) Taken aback by the timing being so completely in sync with the encouragement I was receiving on-line, I agreed and scrambled to prepare for the November 2009 benefit. The show was incredible. It was the first time I was treated to seeing the looks on peoples' faces when they viewed my work. On MySpace, I had received many words of encouragement, but never had I gotten to watch or hear the reactions.
Three months later, in February 2010, I was shopping for a "magical" birthday gift for a dear MySpace friend of mine. I stumbled upon a shop not far from where I live and discovered that they are an artist's co-op, as well. I laughed at the beauty of the unfolding. A week later, on my birthday, the owner contacted me and said that they would be interested in selling my work there. Seventh Street Gifts became my first retailer, but even more importantly the owners, their children and parents have become dear, sweet friends of mine and my children.
Two years later, through another serendipitous unfolding (this time on Facebook), I got to know Aim Me and Renee, those soulful Troubadours of Divine Bliss. I was blessed to show my work at their Mighty Kindness Hootenanny, an incredible event they have built with their own two loving hearts and the help of many in Louisville, KY.
Just this week, my friend, the owner of Seventh Street Gifts asked me if I would like to hold a reception for my work on Valentine's Day weekend. Given that my days are no longer gifted with that golden silence and that I find myself with more responsibility than I've ever juggled before, my initial reaction was that there was no way I would have the time. However, the idea of holding a reception for Trees Please prints (that I finally put into print last September) wouldn't stop tickling me. I started thinking about how I could dedicate the day to the loving memory of my step-dad, Rory, who continued on with his Great Journey last February…of how wonderful it would be to gather the people I love best under one roof…of what a sweet birthday treat it would be for me, and how lovely the timing was considering that it would also be my four year anniversary of having my work in the shop…so, of course, I started thinking that such a beautiful day deserves the music and kindness of the ladies who have inspired me so much…
After reading all of this, I suppose it isn't surprising to hear that it has all come together, though it is so very exciting!
On Sunday, February 16th from 1:00 – 4:00 PM, a reception will be held at Seventh Street Gifts, dedicated to our dear, Rory Kiefer, whom we miss so much. Trees Please prints will be featured with partial proceeds being donated to The Nature Conservancy's "Plant A Billion" campaign. Musical entertainment and soulful inspiration will be provided by the honeyed voices of Troubadours of Divine Bliss. Loving friends and family will gather for an afternoon of celebrating "Sacred Breath".
Please join us, in person or in spirit.
