text: Home Peek Show2016SeptemberIce-cream-dream-come-true Ice cream dream come true by Azra Rauff (Writer) | Sep 15, 2016 F & BInterviewsJobs Being an ice cream man ain't that sweet, but I'd do it again. I love ice cream. One of my fondest childhood memories includes stuffing chocolate ice cream into my face as I tried to "aim" for my mouth. It's something my family teases me about then and again. But when I was asked to be a traditional ice cream man for a day, I was sceptical. Can I actually sell ice cream successfully? Will I be able to stand for long hours under the scorching sun? And most importantly, will my makeup last in the sweltering heat? Despite my initial doubts, I decided to take bull by the horns...or at least I tried to. I had two tasks: To take orders (in English or Mandarin) from customers, and prepare two cups of ice cream. Not a big deal, right? I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SPENDING TIME WITH UNCLE YANG AND AUNTIE FENG. 80-year-old Auntie Feng and her husband, Uncle Yang, has spent the last 12 years selling ice cream outside Fullerton Hotel, along the Singapore River. While neither spoke English, I was greeted with a warm welcome when I arrived at their pushcart ice cream stall. They were both amicable, and possessed a very loving energy, which reminded me a lot of my late great-grandmother. OCCASIONALLY, TOURISTS APPROACHED THE COUPLE FOR PICTURES. Before I started my shift, Auntie Feng warned me about the influx of tourists that may approach her stall, especially when the large tour groups stop nearby. She explained that she would have to work doubly fast and couldn't risk messing up. She was kind enough to show me how things worked. She told me to shadow her a few times until I was ready to try it on my own. Once a customer places an order, she takes the ice cream flavour out of the freezer, cuts a thick block, scoops it in a plastic cup or on a slice of bread, and serves it to them. Sounds simple enough, right? Auntie Feng may be 80, but she works faster than Speedy Gonzales when it comes to selling ice cream! She took about 30 seconds for each order, which is faster than the time I usually take to heat up my food in the microwave. "I can do this," I reassured myself. AUNTIE FENG SHOWING ME THE ROPES. After observing Auntie Feng a few times, I was ready to take the wheel. I was excited about showing off my not so impressive skills. As Auntie Feng passed me a block of yam ice cream, I felt an immense amount of pressure. I reminded myself to follow in Auntie Feng's steps, and that things will be fine. I wondered why it took me a while to pull the ice cream out of its packaging and place it in the cup, when Auntie Feng could do it so effortlessly. After completing my first order, Auntie Feng let out a small giggle. She told me that I worked very slowly and it was probably because I was inexperienced. Ah, that explains. I took about four orders and served two customers during the hour that I spent with Auntie Feng and Uncle Yang. It was a little scary at first, but I had fun! Though taking orders and serving ice cream was overwhelming, even the customers were pretty curious to see how I would fare. While I had a little trouble with speaking Chinese at first, thankfully, the customers were patient with me. I'd like to think I did a fairly decent job with serving ice cream. SPECIAL THANKS TO AUNTIE FENG AND UNCLE YANG. (AND YES, MY MAKE-UP LASTED!) I only spent an hour with the couple, but I was already tired from all the standing. I wondered how Auntie Feng and Uncle Yang do it on a daily basis. My biggest takeaway from the whole experience? Auntie Feng and Uncle Yang's determination to be independent. I was curious as to why Auntie Feng and Uncle Yang decided to work in this line, despite their old age. They also have six children and 10 grandchildren, who could easily support them. Auntie Feng said in Mandarin: "We just want to make a living for ourselves. We [may] earn less than $100 in a day, but it's enough for us to get by." This is part four of 'For A Day', a new series that features underrated jobs in Singapore.

Hypothalamic Injury: Fish Oil to the Rescue!
For more than 100 years, the field of neuroscience was aligned in consensus that, unlike in other organisms, mammalian nervous systems are incapable of generating new neurons at an adult life stage. In the early 1990s however, some experts started to question the dogma after observing signs of neurogenesis in specific brain areas of adult mammals, such as the subventricular zone (1) or the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus (2). It took another decade before, in 2001, the hypothalamus was recognized as a brain area with neurogenic potential. Pencea et al. (3) used brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to demonstrate that the hypothalamus can recruit and/or generate new neurons (3). Later, studies by Kokoeva, Yin, and Flier (4,5) corroborated this by reporting the ability of the hypothalamus to continuously generate new neurons throughout life and noted the relevance of this process for the regulation of energy balance.
The core of central nervous system feeding circuits consists of specialized neuronal subpopulations situated in the hypothalamus. These include proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and neuropeptide Y (NPY)/Agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons, which, in response to afferent endocrine and metabolic signals such as leptin, orchestrate behavioral output and efferent signaling but also modulate synaptic remodeling to ensure systemic energy homeostasis (6). Likewise, neuronal turnover is thought to be crucial for maintaining the integrity and functionality of adult hypothalami in health and disease (7,8). Although this concept is still discussed controversially, there is increasing acceptance in the neuroscience field that hypothalamic neurogenesis may be relevant for the development of metabolic diseases. In fact, there is evidence indicating that switching to high-fat diet (HFD) feeding in mice rapidly accelerates hypothalamic cell renewal before it shuts down dramatically (9). Indeed, Velloso and others have reported that continued HFD exposure increases apoptosis of mature neurons (10,11), newly generated neurons, and dividing cells (4,7) and reduces the survival of neuronal stem cells (12), leading to an overall reduced rate of neurogenesis and synaptic inputs in the hypothalamus (4,5,7,10).
Building on these discoveries, investigators suggest being focused on targeting hypothalamic neurogenesis to promote the remodeling of feeding circuits in order to reestablish hypothalamic function in obese conditions (4,7,10). The first studies indicated that HFD-induced reduction of neurogenesis can be partially restored by caloric restriction (7) or through the use of potent neurotrophic agents, such as ciliary neurotrophic factor, that enhance hypothalamus neurogenesis and long-term body weight loss (4).
In this issue of Diabetes, Velloso and colleagues (13), from the University of Campinas in Brazil, report compelling data suggesting that the use of ω-3 (also known as fish oil), a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), may offer an effective way to prevent or treat HFD-induced reduction of hypothalamic neurogenesis. The authors previously reported that partially replacing saturated fatty acids (SFAs) with ω-3 in the diet led to reduced body fat mass, improved leptin, and better glucose sensitivity (14,15). They now show that this dietary intervention also specifically increases neurogenesis and the number of dividing cells in the arcuate and the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus. Furthermore, they show that central administration of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or BDNF to obese mice also enhances hypothalamic cell proliferation and neurogenesis, even though DHA appears to affect different cell subtypes than BDNF. Unlike BDNF, DHA induces the generation of newborn cells from the hippocampus and affects tanycytes located in the lateral wall of the third ventricle, which strongly stain for nestin. Interestingly, recent studies reported compelling data that tanycytes in the hypothalamic median eminence generate newborn neurons that are necessary for maintaining metabolic activity in adult mice (16).
Velloso and colleagues (13) therefore demonstrate the potent neurogenic effect of PUFAs on the hypothalamus, which is followed by metabolic improvements and body weight loss. This fact is not entirely surprising given that the brain is highly enriched with essential fatty acids similar to PUFAs (exclusively provided by nutrition) that regulate the fluidity and function of the cellular membranes that cover nerves (17). Likewise, some studies have claimed that an excessive intake of SFAs causes PUFA deficits in brain composition, promoting the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease (18).
Finally, Velloso and colleagues (13) report that the effects of DHA on increasing hypothalamic neurogenesis appear to be due to preferential enhanced neurogenesis of POMC (but not NPY/AgRP) neurons. This process is mediated by the activation of hypothalamic G-protein–coupled receptor 40 (GPR40). Recent studies of Velloso and colleagues (14) also have reported anti-inflammatory effects of ω-3 fatty acids in both the brain and peripheral tissues, which are mediated through the actions of GPR120 and GPR40. They show that the activation of these receptors by ω-3 fatty acids can reverse inflammation and insulin resistance in obese mice (15). Clinical trials focusing on pharmacological targeting of GPR40 have also demonstrated that GPR40 is capable of stimulating insulin secretion and lowering blood glucose levels (19).
In summary, this important work by Velloso and colleagues (13) provides ample evidence that PUFAs exert many positive benefits by preferentially promoting neurogenesis of POMC neurons and thereby reprogramming satiety feeding circuits. Further studies, however, should be performed to uncover how long-lasting the beneficial effects of PUFAs may be and to what degree their effectiveness is dependent on the level of obesity at the time of treatment initiation (Fig. 1). The endogenous capacity of the hypothalamus to restore its POMC neuronal population might continue to decline with continued exposure to HFD and increased fat mass up to a "point of no return." Indeed, the fact that long-term exposure to HFD reduces the number of adult stem cells with the potential to generate new neurons in the hypothalamus (12) would diminish the effectiveness of future dietary interventions and the chance to regenerate lost neurons. Likewise, it has been shown that using a genetic model to rescue POMC neurons in an attempt to normalize a body weight set point failed in obese mice and was only efficient in mice that had not undergone excessive body weight gain in the past (20). Maybe even more importantly, long-term exposure to HFD alters the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, thereby restricting the access of key nutrient signals, such as leptin, to the hypothalamus (21). Such altered afferent information flow likely decreases the efficiency of dietary interventions and could explain why Velloso and colleagues (13) observe more pronounced effects of PUFAs following intracerebroventricular infusions.
Nevertheless, the elegant series of studies performed by Velloso and colleagues (13) significantly improves our understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms governing adaptive programming of hypothalamic neural circuits. Targeted delivery of key nutrients, along with protection from detrimental dietary exposure, might offer ways to tip the balance in favor of a healthy metabolism. Additional pharmacological targeting of the hypothalamic GPR40 could help to specifically restore or even enhance neurogenesis of POMC neuron populations and thereby offer lasting prevention from diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes. Although mechanistic details will require in-depth studies combining next-generation targeted mouse mutagenesis with advanced stem cell methodology and cutting-edge metabolism research, we will (re)start supplementing our diet with some fish oil and hope to grow some more (of the right) neurons.

As US forces strike Syrian militias backed by Tehran, many fear delegation to the Pentagon and the looming defeat of the Islamic State could fuel a fiercer fire
US forces have opened fire on Iranian-backed forces in Syria three times in the past month, amid mounting tensions that observers and former officials worry could easily turn into an unplanned, spiralling conflict.
The three recent incidents took place at al-Tanf, a remote desert outpost near the point where the Syrian, Iraqi and Jordanian borders meet. There, a 150-strong force of US soldiers who are training local fighters to take on the Islamic State (Isis) was approached by convoys of militias fighting for the Assad regime. They responded with air strikes.

I've taken the plunge and started reading 'popular' authors… Have finished two of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books, am almost done with the third. Also finished a couple of Asimov books (Foundation series).
I try to avoid old classics of the genré because I don't have any self control when it comes to books. Now that I've started reading Asimov for instance, I don't think I can stop without finishing all his books—and that'll cost a nice hefty sum.
Small price to pay, if all the books are as well written as the ones I've read.

New programs — new opportunities!
To be young means to be a restless person, rebel, rioter, revolutionist, adventurer, to have no fear to change life, it means to be yourself. It means to surround yourself with opportunities to try new things and to create your own path for the future.
Are you still a student and fluent in English?
Then there is a special opportunity for you to do the internship at the best German hotels, namely Radisson Hotels and Resorts and 4* resort hotels.
Tatyana Mykhaylova, program coordinator
(on personal experience)
"Almost 20 years ago, with no professional background and experience but with a big dream to open my own restaurant, I got an opportunity to undertake an internship on restaurant management, first in the USA and later in Canada. These were the short-term internship programs, which lasted one month, but they gave me bright and unforgettable memories for life. I got a lot of theoretical knowledge, especially I want to emphasize very necessary one: daily 8-hour training with excursions at the most prestigious university on restaurant management in the USA, Las Vegas – UNLV. It was amazing and certainly shocking experience. During the internship in Canada I had an opportunity to immerse myself in the practical training. A friendly restaurant owner introduced me with his place, business process, etc. But the most important started to happen after I entered the kitchen, at first as an observer and then as a participant. I was impressed not by the dishes, but how easily, in a well-orchestrated manner, very organized, without any fuss and at the same time how quickly everything is managed between the moment of guest's arrival and meeting and the moment of dish serving and guest's leaving. But I was even more impressed by the behavior of the restaurant owner: he came up to the clients, being friendly and with a smile on his face, sometimes took orders and hurried to the kitchen; he was everywhere, but didn't impose himself, didn't disturb anyone and the same time supervised all the process. I will remember it for all my life. This priceless experience I keep in my mind and I use it not only in my restaurant business. Besides, my dream came true – for more than 16 years I have been running my small but favorite restaurant".

The Cleveland Cavaliers have made a habit of making shrewd trade deadline deals the past few years, like the one that saw them acquire Kyle Korver from the Atlanta Hawks a few days ago. And the Cavs are reportedly not done wheeling and dealing.
Cleveland acquired the sharp-shooting Korver for Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams' expiring contract and a 2019 first round selection on Saturday.The six-foot-eight shooting guard is expected to provide the Cavs with much needed perimeter once he is able to play. The trade was being held up as Dunleavy refused to report though Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reported that after talking to Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer the 36-year old will report to the team on Tuesday.
Korver got off to a hot start this season, but then then cooled down in the month of November before being removed from the starting lineup. Korver responded nicely to the demotion, averaging 11.0 points to go along with 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 11 games off the bench. He also made 2.6 three-pointers a game while shooting 43.3 percent from beyond the arc during the 11.
For the season, Korver averages 9.5 points along with 2.8 assists and 2.3 caroms while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from beyond the arc. He is among the top three-point shooters of all-time, ranking eighth with 1,952 career triples and eighth in three-point percentage at 42.9 percent.
Korver will likely come off the bench meaning DeAndre Liggins will remain the starter at shooting guard. Liggins has been starting since J.R. Smith suffered a fractured right thumb on Dec. 20.
Liggins hasn't brought much offensively to the Cavaliers since being inserted into the starting lineup, however, he has been excellent on the defensive end – -which is his calling card. Liggins has produced one double-figure scoring effort and is averaging 3.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting 38.3 percent from the floor and 41.4 percent on three-point attempts.
Now with a known shooter in tow, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon believes that the Cavaliers will go after a point guard that LeBron James demanded they do. Cleveland has been thinking about adding a point guard since Williams decided to retire before start of training camp.
Since then, the Cavs have been linked to Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole. Chalmers is still working his way back from an Achilles injury that ended his campaign last year prematurely. Cole has been on the open market since being released by the Shandong Golden Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association.
More recently, the Cavs have been mentioned to be interested in Rajon Rondo and Jarrett Jack. In fact, Joe Varden of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said that they are keeping an eye on both Rondo and Chalmers.
Rondo has fallen out of favor of Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg, receiving five consecutive DNP-Coach Decision. Rondo had a disastrous December, averaging 6.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists while shooting 29.7 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from the charity stripe.
Jack hasn't played this season and is coming off ACL surgery. The 33-year-old point guard averaged 12.8 points and 7.4 assists in the 32 games with Brooklyn. He was picked up by the Atlanta Hawks last summer, but was waived after he was unable to get healthy.
WGMD News Radio 92.7 out of Delmarva, Delaware suggested that the Philadelphia 76ers should ship Sergio Rodriguez to Cleveland. The 30-year-old Spanish point guard signed a one-year deal with the Sixers this summer, and is unlikely in the team's future plans.
Rodriguez is having the best season of his five-year career, producing 9.2 points, 6.1 assists and 2.9 boards in 26.1 minutes of action. He is shooting 40.1 percent from field and 37.4 percent from beyond the arc.
Roodriguez would likely fit right in with the Cavs, if a deal was made. The six-foot-three point guard thrives in pick-n-roll situations and is a creative passer with the ability to knock down three-pointers on a consistent basis.
Lloyd added that the Cavs could also look to bring in another big man. Lloyd said that if the Cavs have to send out their 2021 first round draft pick in order to obtain a point guard, they may have cruise the waiver wire for a big man. Teams are unable to trade first round draft picks in consecutive years – -meaning if they trade the 2020 pick they must hang on to the 2021.
One option that is currently available to the Cavs is veteran Carl Landry. According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the 33-year-old power forward is looking to make a comeback as well. Landry has been out of work since being released by the 76ers in August.
Landry did a nice job during his time in Philadelphia. He averaged 9.8 points and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 55.6 percent from the field in 15.8 minutes over 36 games.
However, Nathan Beighle of Fansided is imploring the Cavs to pry away Tyson Chandler from the Phoenix Suns.
In the past few seasons, the Cavs have acquired J. R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Timofey Mozgov and Channing Frye via trades in either January or February.
In January 2015, Cleveland got Mozgov along with a 2015 second round draft pick from Denver for two 2015 protected first round picks. Just prior to acquiring Mozgov, the Cavs were involved in a three-team trade that saw them obtain J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and a 2015 protected first round selection from Oklahoma City Thunder for Dion Waiters, center Alex Kirk, forward Lou Amundson, and a 2019 second-round pick.
Then last season, Cleveland pulled off two separate trades in order to get Channing Frye from the Orlando Magic. The Cavs traded Anderson Varejao and a protected future first round draft pick to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for a second round pick. The Cavaliers then traded the second round pick and guard Jared Cunningham for Frye.

Incumbent Gov. Charlie Baker wins Massachusetts GOP primary
Tue., Sept. 4, 2018
BOSTON – Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, a moderate seeking a second term in solidly Democratic Massachusetts, fended off a primary challenge Tuesday from conservative minister Scott Lively, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump who questioned Baker's commitment to the Republican platform.
Baker, who has distanced himself from Trump, will face in November the winner of the Democratic primary, Jay Gonzalez. He defeated Robert Massie on Tuesday.
Polling has shown Baker to be highly popular with voters, including many Democrats, throughout his first term – support he credits in part to his willingness to work with Democratic legislative leaders at the Statehouse.
Baker has said he did not cast a vote in the 2016 presidential election because he didn't believe Trump had the "temperament" to be president, nor was he a "fan" of Hillary Clinton. He has been a frequent critic of White House policy.
Lively, who has called Trump "God's man in the White House," qualified for the primary ballot by receiving support from nearly 28 percent of delegates to the Republican state convention in April, well above the required 15 percent threshold. He frequently called Baker a RINO, a Republican in name only, but had little money or staff to mount a serious challenge to the well-financed incumbent.
Lively has a history of anti-LGBT sentiments. He gained notoriety for being sued by an East African advocacy group that accused him of waging a campaign to persecute gays in Uganda. He also co-authored a book espousing a theory that gay men heavily influenced Germany's Nazi party.
"I think (Lively's) point of view on a lot of things … especially with regard to gay people, don't belong in public discourse or any kind of discourse," said Baker, who otherwise paid little attention to his primary challenger.
Baker has touted his management skills and points to a $1.2 billion state budget surplus in the last fiscal year.
He's scored points with many Democrats by signing bills such as those to protect abortion rights; prohibit discrimination against transgender people; allow guns to be temporarily removed from dangerous individuals; raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour; and require utilities to increase reliance on renewable energy sources.
"A lot of people when I'm out and about tell me that the thing they appreciate the most about this administration is that we really do focus on the work and not on the noise," Baker said when asked why he deserves re-election.
The governor's Democratic challengers have cited a lack of progress in fixing some of the state's most pressing problems, including the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority – the aging Boston-area transit system is known as the T – which came under scrutiny during the crippling winter of 2015 and continues to be plagued by breakdowns and delays.
Baker says service has improved significantly during his term but acknowledges that more needs to be done.
The incumbent has raised more than $8 million for his re-election effort and reported a campaign balance of $6.6 million in mid-August, far outpacing Gonzalez, who reported balances of $367,000.

Forgotten Fruits
Forgotten Fruits
As I started planning my garden this year, it occurred to me just how few varieties are available in this city anymore.
I thought about some of the fruits that I grew up eating as a child, fruits that flavored my youth but don't seem to be around much these days for my granddaughter's generation. These are the ones that I miss most.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT try to eat these raw or under ripe! They're awful! and if not fully ripe, might make you sick. But when fully ripe, huckleberries make pies and jams of which a child's summer memories are made.
They look like, and are closely related to, tomatillos. Very easy to grow and will replant themselves and come back year after year. They taste a little like plums with a slight tomato (another relative) aftertaste. My granddaughter loves them straight from the vine. They are also tasty cooked in a variety of ways and make good jam.
Also called mango melon, this relative of the cucumber can be a little temperamental, but patience and perseverance will be rewarded. In addition to fresh eating, they make good pickles, chutneys and jams.
This little gem is more a treat for your other senses. The taste is mildly sweet and rather bland. They do make a tasty and novel addition to a fruit salad or compote. But the fragrance! The aroma of one tigger sitting on a plate can fill a room. In fact, women used to carry them in their pockets in lieu of perfume. Their golden skin mottled with red or rust is also quite pretty.
I will be growing these in my garden this year. So if you're feeling a little nostalgic, or want to try something new and different, stop by and try them. Maybe you'll be inspired to grow your own "forgotten fruits."

Bug tracking is essential to software development
When I started programing many years ago, I only developed for myself. I didn't care about tracking bugs because I could sift through my code faster than I could type, so I knew exactly where the bugs were, and I didn't need an extra tool and process to document my fixes. That was the naivete of my youth and as I grew and learned from my own experiences as well as learning from mentors and experienced developers, I learned that for software to evolve into a disciplined engineered product, there has to be processes in place to track bugs, defects and enhancements.
Fast forward 20 years later and our team in Akubo has built Clearbugs, an internal project we've been building the last few years, and it is the best bug tracking system for solo and small team developers. We have small development teams in Akubo and the larger bug tracking systems just didn't feel right for us. We wanted a software tool that felt like it was really designed just for us, for small teams who can pivot quickly when plans change, and we didn't want any extra features that we would never use.
Clearbugs allows us to track and record each bug or enhancement request with all the information we need so that every person in the team can see what the problem or enhancement is about. From recording the bug, we can then assign it to one or more developers and track the status as it progresses to a fix, assigned for review and eventually closed, or deferred to a future date.
It is essential to have a central bug and feature enhancements database that everyone in the team can easily access from anywhere and from any device. The database also becomes a tool for management to use in assigning tasks and monitoring the bug and enhancement lifecycle as it's recorded in the database, assigned, prioritized, discussed, fixed, reviewed and eventually closed or deferred to a future date.
We have used Clearbugs with teams that work in multiple locations and it is the vital backbone of our software development process. We track everything from the files that get changed, to screenshots that show how the bug is manifested, to files that are relevant to the bug or enhancement, to who submitted the bug or enhancement request, to related bugs or enhancement requests already reported in clearbugs and any other information that would help us resolve the issue at hand.
For bug tracking that is simple, efficient and built for folks just like us — small teams, freelancers, and app developers, think Clearbugs!

Whether it is to relieve stress or enjoy yourself, gardening is something that many choose to voluntarily to do. But the sad part is that not everyone succeeds. While some might have their gardens in bloom within weeks even if they are only newbies to this, others just might find everything they grow wither and fade away. So here are some basics you need to know when gardening.
Start off with a plan
Rather than jumping straight in to things even when it comes to gardening, having a plan of what you are going to grow, how you are going to grow and what you'll need to grow is required to make sure your efforts don't go to waste. Especially if you are trying to create a whole meaningful gardening space this is a step you shouldn't be skipping out on. Sure you don't have to write it all down, but it helps to research and be aware of what you should be doing and avoiding especially if you don't want to end up calling tree removal Pambula on a plant that grew out of hand and in the wrong space.
Select the plants
The plants you plan on planting depend a lot on the weather or environmental conditions you are surrounded by. In other words this means even if you want to plant rows and rows of roses, if you live in an area that is hot and sandy there is literally no way this plant would survive. Certain plants can only be grown in certain weather conditions and some are very sensitive to such extreme conditions. So no matter how you care for them and do regular lawn moving they would eventually end up dying. Therefore when you are selecting plants to plant you need to do your homework and find those that are ideal for the environment you live in.
Select one shade
To start off as a newbie to gardening it is always best to simply stick to one colour especially if you are aiming at creating a lit flower garden. Once you have the hang of it and you are sure of your skills, then you can definitely test the water and start growing varying shades of flowers. It also helps to stick to purchasing limited budget plants without going straight away for the expensive kinds.
Collect tools
To be able to do well in makeup you need to have the right brushes as much as it is essential that own good products. Similarly, in gardening too you need to start making your collection of gardening equipment to be able to have all that you need to do a good job. So research on all the equipment you would need and maintain a separate space to store them all. Having the right tools would not only make your job easier but fun too! So do your homework on the above basics and nail gardening in ease!

Sex sells, and if it's for free, even better! Alas…the small print reads "upon the purchase of a set of tires, regardless of your SEX, you'll receive a FREE oil change".
Lesson: If you ever think that an ad is pretty awful, always remember, it can get much worse!

All models RAM
The Chrysler Group established the Ram brand of trucks in 2009. The trucks were first produced by Dodge. The spin-off came about when Chrysler decided to create a separate division to allow Dodge to focus exclusively on the manufacture of cars.
Truck production by Dodge began in 1917; however the Ram's head appeared on the masthead of the vehicles only in 1932. Amost a half centry later, in 1931, Lee Iococca thought of marketing Dodge's truck line by naming it after the mascot. The Ram's head became an instantly recognizable icon.
Competing for truck space in the automobile market with the likes of GMC, Chevrolet and Ford, Ram has been offering a stable of vans and trucks, ranging from light and medium to heavy. Durable and competitively priced, Ram trucks are renowned for their towing capacity.

Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. – 1 John 2;18 ESV
What a foreboding statement. At this point in his letter, John seems to take on a tone of seriousness and soberness. He addresses his audience as children, exposing his pastor's heart and his feelings of compassion and responsibility for them. He wanted them to know the reality of their circumstances and understand the seriousness of what they saw happening around them. What they were experiencing was NOT to be unexpected or surprising, because of the times in which they were living. It was the last hour. How does John know that? Because "many antichrists have come" (1 John 2:18 ESV). As the gospel advanced, the opposition increased and it continues to this day. And it is not just an opposition to Christians. It is an anti-Christ sentiment. It isn't even an opposition to God. There are many who, like the individual referred to in chapter one, claim to have fellowship with God. They claim to know Him. But they deny Jesus as Christ. They are anti-Christ, and therefore opposed to the good news as preached by Jesus Himself and carried on by His disciples. Like the original recipients of John's letter, we are living in the last hour, the last days. This was a common designation for the days that followed Jesus incarnation and resurrection. The writer of Hebrews tells us, "in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world" (Hebrews 1:2 ESV). Paul warned Timothy, "that in the last days there will come times of difficulty" (2 Timothy 3:1 ESV). Peter tells us, "that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires" (2 Peter 3:3 ESV). But Peter also knew that the last days would also be accompanied by a great movement of God. He had seen it and experienced it. On the day of Pentecost, he had been part of the small band of disciples who had been dramatically and miraculously transformed by the coming of the Holy Spirit. And he knew that their experience had been promised by God many years earlier through the prophet Joel. "And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" (Acts 2:17 ESV). Peter worked this Old Testament prophesy into the message that he gave to the crowd of people who had gathered as a result of the disciples speaking in languages they didn't know. It was the last days. God was at work. He had sent His Son. He had died, was raised again and now His disciples were spreading the good news regarding the salvation made available through Him. But there was going to be opposition. There was going to be an anti-Christ sentiment rise up and spread. The world would oppose their message. Satan would stand against the gospel and its offer of a restored relationship with God. We are living in a war zone. Satan, the god of this world, has blinded the eyes of the lost. He wants to keep them in the dark regarding the hope available to them through Jesus Christ. So he offers them alternatives and seemingly viable options. But they are all anti-Christ, other than Christ. They provide options that leave out Christ.
But like the believers to whom John was writing, we have hope and we have help. We have the Holy Spirit. John wrote, "But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ" (1 John 2:27 NLT). What we have to realize is that virtually everything around us is anti-Christ. The world and the things it offers us provide a constant temptation to turn from Christ to something else. Satan wants us to find our hope in the things of this world. He wants us to find our satisfaction from the things of this world. He wants us to seek our joy from the things of this world. He wants us to find our significance from the things of this world. But these things are all lies and illusions. They are poor imitations of the real thing. John reminds us, "And this is the promise that he made to us—eternal life" (1 John 2:25 ESV). That should be our focus. Everything here is temporal, not eternal. It is fading away. But our hope is sure. Our salvation is secure. Our eternal future assured. And we know that the last days will have a last day. There is an ending to this story. There is a final chapter to God's story of redemption. Jesus Himself told us, "And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven" (Matthew 24:30-31 NLT). These are difficult days, but we serve a great God. We have His Spirit within us and His promise of eternal life to motivate us. We can not only survive, we can thrive. We have already overcome the evil one because of what Christ has done for us.

Help fund The Libranos book!
When Ezra used to write books about ethical oil, every media outlet in the country used to want to interview him. But now if any media party journalist were to review The Libranos, they could risk losing their bailout subsidy. So, we need your help to spread the word about the book (and help cover the cost of designing the book too!)

The Mayo Clinic Department of Health Sciences Research has a rich heritage dating back to Dr. Joseph Berkson (chair, 1933-1964) and Dr. Leonard Kurland (chair, 1964-1987). In 1935, Dr. Berkson developed a computerized medical diagnostic coding system, capturing all patient diagnoses and procedures to efficiently facilitate clinical research.
Building on Dr. Berkson's work, in 1966 Dr. Kurland initiated the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP), which constitutes an unparalleled resource for population-based epidemiologic studies. The REP has received continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for longer than 40 years, resulting in more than 1,500 peer-reviewed publications to date.

For the first few years of this blog, we traveled A LOT: London, Paris, an Alaskan cruise... and of course, all parts of California.
At the end of 2009, I was shocked to realize that for the first time since our marriage, we went an entire year without once boarding an airplane.
That's about to change. Last week, during my OSCAR frenzy, my husband received an official looking letter from the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, informing him that he won the Wimbledon Lottery.
This does not mean that we've come into some money. No, winning this lottery allows us the privilege of being able to purchase tickets that will allow us on one court during one day of the tournament.
We had been talking about returning to the United Kingdom this year to visit my husband's family. It has been three years since Megan and I have been there, and it's been EIGHT years since we've enjoyed the country in the summer. I love England and Wales and after about a dozen trips, there is still much I haven't seen. I want to go.
I just don't want to spend the money. Not now. Not while we're still trying to regroup after last year's annus horribilis. Not when traveling in the summer (when the days are long and tourist attractions are actually open and you have a chance of enjoying nice weather) costs up to three times what it does in the winter (when the sun starts setting at 3 PM and the weather is pretty darned miserable).
"We don't have to go," my husband said... but we both knew he didn't mean it. He "won" this lottery once before and had the once in a lifetime experience of watching Rafael Nadal win his fourth round set (see the rest of my husband's 2008 Wimbledon photos on Flickr here).
But for my husband (the tennis nut), once in a lifetime is not enough. The minute I saw the envelope, I knew we were Britain bound. The good news was that for once, I would not have to fight him to spend more than a day in London.
We belong to the American Express rewards program and in the past, have successfully exchanged points for free round trips on Virgin Atlantic (our favorite overseas airline), and after three years, we've accrued enough points to pay for all three of us. Unfortunately, the dates we need to go appear to be blacked out. This is a bummer, because the cost of a round trip ticket in the summer is $1300 (instead of under $500, as it is in December). So the airfare alone is costing us $4,000. To fly economy.
We've run into this problem before and while it hurts to pay that much for airfare, we do the next best thing and use the points to pay for a nice hotel room in London, which has to be one of the most expensive cities on the planet. In fact, we've gotten used to some really nice hotels; establishments we have no business staying in because the paying clientele is so posh.
So imagine my disappointment when I tried to book our rooms yesterday and discovered that there is NO availability in the nicer hotels that we can afford, points or no points. My search was complicated by the fact that my husband has invited his mum to be his guest at Wimbledon. So we were now looking for two rooms instead of one, and three nights instead of two.
"Do you want me to tell my mum not to come?" my husband grumbled after I complained about the tough time I was having in our hotel search.
The truth is, I'm happy to have my mother-in-law there. Otherwise, I would have to spend an entire day watching tennis. With his mum beside him, Megan and I can come to the stadium and check out the scene... before we mosey back off to Knightsbridge or Regent Street to do some (window) shopping.
After four hours of Internet searching, I eventually found a budget hotel in Kensington that had two rooms available on our dates. Best of all, I was able to use American Express points - and we even have some left.
The reviews on TripAdvisor are all over the place, which tells me that the experience of staying there depends upon (1) the travelers' expectations (and mine will be low) and (2) the location of your room (some folks gushed that the rooms were spacious while others complained that they were tiny and stuffy. And everyone complained about the noise from the street below). At the very least, I'll get a good blog post out of our stay there.
And you can't really complain when it's free. Well, maybe YOU can't. I may.
DISCLOSURE: I am not affiliated with American Express or any of the entities mentioned in this post and have received no monetary compensation.

QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTY, MD. (WJZ) — Non-biodegradable balloon releases are officially banned in Queen Anne's County.
Queen Anne's County Commissioners unanimously passed Ordinance 19-13, becoming the first County in Maryland and one of only a handful in the United States to adopt a prohibition against environmentally harmful balloon releases.
"Intentionally releasing balloons into the atmosphere is nothing short of littering", said the bill's author, Commissioner Christopher M. Corchiarino. "This ordinance will allow us to protect a cross-section of interests in the County while furthering the stewardship of our waterways and rural landscapes".
Queen Anne's Conservation Association praised the commissioners for their initiative.
"Deflated mylar and latex balloons, and the ribbons attached to them harm the environment by maiming and killing wildlife, sea creatures, and farm animals. The balloons are often mistaken for food, and marine animals especially, such as turtles and birds, become tangled in the ribbons and are killed. This ordinance is a major accomplishment, and I couldn't be more proud that Queen Anne's County is taking the lead on this important environmental issue." said Jay Falstad, QACA's executive director.

Reitano, Paul and Green, Nicole C. (2012) The value of concept mapping in developing professional growth in a geography methods course. International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches, 6 (2). pp. 160-174. ISSN 1834-0806
This paper reports on an exploratory case study of six preservice teachers who studied a 10-week unit of secondary geography in their 4th (and final) year of education studies. The focus of the study was to track participants' conceptions of effective geography teaching, over a period of time; that is, to provide an example of conceptual change. Participants constructed concept maps at the beginning and at the conclusion of their geography curriculum methods course. The purpose of this article is to present concept mapping as a research tool for inquiring into the conceptual understandings and growth of early career teachers.

Apple could bring back its rainbow logo.
According to a recent rumour, Apple may be about to bring back its classic rainbow icon.
MacRumors reports that a well-connected source made the claim although no mention was made of which products might feature the retro logo.
The rainbow logo was actually Apple's second logo. The first depicted Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree.
The rainbow logo was used from 1977 – 1998
Bringing back the classic logo for its products would certainly make a lot of Apple fans very happy.
For more history about the Apple logo the following video from AppleExplained is an interesting watch.

Step 1 Barbecue or chargrill corn over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, turning, until charred and tender. Transfer to a plate to cool. Once cool, use a sharp knife to remove kernels.
Step 2 Chargrill prawns, turning, for 4–5 minutes, or until cooked through.
Step 3 Whisk chilli sauce, juice and garlic together in a small jug. Place corn, lettuce, tomatoes, capsicums, beans, onion and avocado into a large bowl and toss to combine.
Step 4 Top salad with prawns and drizzle with dressing. Garnish with coriander before serving.
According to a Journal of Nutrition study, tossing just 60g into your salad can significantly increase your nutrient absorption. Lime juice and coriander provide bundles of flavour for almost no kilojoules. Add more, if you please.
