"Rescued by My Brother," Liahona, August 2016, 50–52
Rescued by My Brother
The author lives in Idaho, USA.
When my brother Tanner turned 12, I invited him to start attending the temple with me. Little did I know how badly we would need each other's support in the coming years.
I was almost 12 years old when the Twin Falls Idaho Temple was dedicated. I was so excited when my older sister asked me for the first time if I wanted to start going to the temple regularly with her and her friend.
I was happy when my younger brother Tanner turned 12 three years later because I could finally invite him to attend the temple with me.
Each morning that we went, we would help each other get up and go, and when we were tired Tanner would make jokes to help us wake up. After going to the temple, we would take some time to talk about how we'd felt in the temple and what we'd thought about.
Going to the temple with Tanner became the spiritual highlight of my week. Through our regular temple visits we became better friends, which strengthened me more than I would have imagined when some trials came my way. Our two older sisters had left for college and our ward had just been split, leaving Tanner and me as some of the only active youth in our ward.
Tanner and I spent hours calling and inviting less-active youth to church and Mutual. It often felt like a hopeless effort because no one ever came no matter how many girls I tried to befriend.
Our parents tried to help. They would bear testimony to us when we were discouraged, and they let us talk out our frustration when we came home upset. But even so, we didn't suddenly have more friends at church, and wanting to go when I'd be the only young woman there was getting harder and harder. Our temple visits started becoming less frequent because of our busy school schedules.
I spent a lot of time reading my scriptures and pleading with the Lord to help me be strong. I was lonely and tired—tired of being alone, tired of my efforts not making a difference, tired of struggling spiritually and emotionally.
During this time, I worked as a lifeguard at the city pool. I liked being there a lot more than I liked being at church because my co-workers were my friends and were always excited to see me. One day I decided that I wouldn't go back to Mutual since work was more fun and more helpful for me financially.
I didn't think it was a big deal until I noticed myself lowering my standards. I didn't say anything about my friends' swearing, and one day I was shocked to hear myself accidentally swear when I never had before. I even watched an inappropriate movie one night at a party with my lifeguarding friends. I felt terrible and wondered what I was doing.
Meanwhile my parents had told me how much more lonely Tanner had become since I stopped attending Mutual. Every week he would ask me, "Hey, are you going to come to Mutual tonight?" When he would get home from Mutual, he would go straight to his room and read his scriptures for a long time. He wasn't talking as much anymore, and when I asked if he was OK, he just said, "No" and walked away.
One night he came home crying because he had felt so alone.
That's when I decided that I needed to go back. It didn't matter how hard being alone was for me; Tanner needed me.
Tanner had been taking a family history course at church, and I decided that I wanted to take it with him. We wanted to start going to the temple more regularly again, and now we would be able to find names ourselves.
We enjoyed taking the class together on Sundays. After church, we'd search for names together. The coolest thing about taking our own names to the temple was that we had found them together, and even better, we were able to support each other at church and even enjoy church because we were doing the Lord's work.
Tanner's diligence in attending church and Mutual was a powerful example to me. I had a testimony of the gospel, but he helped me gain a testimony of attending church meetings and activities.
Together we were able to comfort one another and use our testimonies of the temple to help each other be strong in the Church. Youth attendance at church and Mutual never really got better, but Tanner and I became stronger and more able to bear our burdens as we helped each other press forward.
I'm so glad that I invited him to come to the temple with me. While I'm sure it helped him, I know it rescued me.

So I just got a 34 pack of the boys L/XL goodnites in the mail today, and surprisingly, they fit! They're kinda a little tight and the sides are stretching a bit, but they will do for the time being. I'm 6 foot 2, 6 foot 3 and weigh around 205 pounds, but I'm in good shape and I don't consider myself fat or chubby. I have around a 33 inch waist. Are boys goodnites or girls goodnites better? I've read that girls are better because of the protection is further down than in front for guys, but maybe they are a little easier to get into and fit a little better? I've never tried the girls ones, but I'm kinda into trying them. I have Abena M4s, but just for some reason I like the pull-up style diapers that don't look like adult diapers, they just feel more comfortable and I like them more.

Former New Zealand premier Helen Clark has ended months of speculation by announcing her candidacy to become the next UN secretary-general.
In an interview with BBC, she said she would like to reform the security council by making Germany, Japan, India and Brazil permanent members, adding that two African states might also become permanent members to reflect 21st-century realities.
Clark is the current head of the UN's Development Program, BBC reported.
She argues that she has the right mix of proven experience to take over from Ban Ki-moon who retires in December. She says the UN needs a new set of tools to face modern peace and security issues.
Three other women are vying to become the UN's first female secretary-general. Four men are also candidates. There have so far been nine post holders, all men.
Earlier, the former prime minister told AFP that she was putting herself forward because of her proven leadership experience over nearly 30 years both in New Zealand and at the UN.
Other candidates for the secretary-general position include UNESCO chief Irina Bokova of Bulgaria and the former high commissioner for refugees, Antonio Guterres, of Portugal.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key recommended Clark as the country's candidate at a press conference in Wellington on Monday.
"Having served as the prime minister of New Zealand for nine years and held one of the top jobs in the United Nations for the past seven, Helen Clark has the right mix of skills and experience for the job," he said.
Current UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was reelected to serve a second five-year term in a vote at the UN General Assembly in New York in 2011.

Atlanta United are well-known for their high-profile international signings, but a product of college soccer is arguably one of their most important players. Miles Robinson, selected No. 2 overall in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft out of Syracuse, saw his game take a massive step forward this past season.
His US men's national team career is just beginning after several years of patience, and his absence from the 2019 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs was certainly felt by the Five Stripes. Robinson, 22, also placed third in voting for the 2019 MLS Defender of the Year award. The stats back it up:
- Won 66% of tackles in 2019 (40 of 61 overall)
- Played in 97% of regular-season minutes (2978 out of 3060 minutes, started 33 out of 34 games)
- Atlanta conceded 1.33 goals per game (43 total goals conceded, third best in the Eastern Conference)
Matt Doyle and Bobby Warshaw explain Robinson's breakout year, and discuss what could lie ahead for the center back.

High yield potential and a diesel/Kush taste.
Tire Fire is the name given to a new hybrid strain created by Archive Seeds using a female High Octane Cut of OG which originates in the San Fernando Valley and fertilised by a Do-Si-Dos male. The original High Octane by itself is very stretchy with a powerful taste of diesel and better than average yields for an OG.
Tire Fire develops into a tall plant with medium to high yields in a flowering time of 70 days. The Do-Si-Dos has reigned-in the stretch and final height somewhat making the plant sturdier and with a tighter structure than its mother. The flavour is a mixture of Kush and diesel with a nice after-taste of cookies.

Why Do Many Select Unsecured Personal Loans to Eliminate Credit Card Debt In Helena, Alabama?
An unsecured personal lending option in Helena, Alabama is often a good solution for consolidating debts. You won't need collateral for an unsecured personal lending option. Thus in case you ever fail to pay on the loan, there's nothing the loan company could take away from you like a car or house like with a secured lending option.

Figuring out methods to get an unsecured personal loan to consolidate your debt in Helena, Alabama
If you have a great credit reputation of settling your debts punctually, you ought to be able to find a lower rate unsecured loan that you can use to pay off all your debts to just one low payment. You should be in a position to get a rate as low as 5 to 6% with excellent credit scores. On the opposite side, lesser credit backgrounds will not qualify for these kinds of lending options. Or maybe your interest rates may be as high as 20% which might not help your situation.Read More
Options for those with really bad credit scores include things like borrowing against home equity or putting up collateral. However, the interest rates may be too much, if you're able to even get approval. Hence, alternative remedies could be better.
What You Need To Know About Unsecured Personal Lending options and Weak Credit Scores
People that have a bad credit score aren't likely to acquire unsecured personal loans. Folks who do manage to get approval, can get high, unmanageable rates. Actually, you may end up getting an extravagant interest rate with a loan shark. A poor credit rating means that you've probably had a few problems settling your bills punctually in past times. Or that you have maxed out your personal lines of credit.
A low credit score makes it dangerous for the loan provider to provide you with a lending option. As a result, even if you do manage to get approved, you will be coughing up substantial fees and interest rates. This is one way the loan provider makes sure that they're being compensated for the risk that they're accepting for you.
You may not be able to achieve your economic objective with a higher APR on an unsecured personal loan with a bad credit score. Your rate of interest may be as high as 19% to 29%. With an interest rate of 29%, you will be paying $29 for every $100 on the loan. It may be better to seek out alternative means of debt settlement.
Will You Be Eligible for an Unsecured Personal Lending option with Less-than-perfect Credit?
It is important for financial institutions to execute a credit check if you submit an application for a loan. There are few loan companies who will let people borrow money without a credit check. Your practices and reputation of paying your bills are found in your credit history. And it offers a very good sign of how you'll perform with new credit .
Anyone that is offered a substantial lending option with no credit check required should be concered about the loan provider. If it is a legitimate financial institution, then you are likely to be repaying high interest rates or substantial fees. You might end up paying back three times what you borrowed. Does that sound like a good deal right now? For a fair loan , a credit check is required.
If you are anxious about lacking adequate credit ratings to qualify for a loan, then right now might not be the right time to look for a loan. Legitimate loan providers want you to have good credit history for financing. Also having no credit history will prevent you from receiving a fair lending option. The best thing that you can do, with less-than-perfect credit or zero credit, is to improve this prior to trying to find a loan.
What About Guaranteed Approval?
When you see "Guaranteed Approval" while looking for a borrowing arrangement, you could feel rather hopeful. It appears as if all you need to do is make an application and you're okayed for that loan. Who would not choose that sort of option? Before you jump at the chance, think about what it really suggests.
Consider what type of financial institution might provide guaranteed approval on a unsecured loan. I haven't discovered too many lenders who are going to promise to agree to a loan application without requesting evidence of income or credit scores. In case you have zero earnings, how would a true loan company promise to agree to your request? It's almost guaranteed disaster for the financial institution.
An honest loan company isn't going to provide guaranteed approval. Your financial situation, which includes source of income and current financial debt, will all be taken into consideration. Your debt and income are going to be calculated to ascertain whether you are a candidate for the lending option. It won't be as detailed of an evaluation as a home financing request yet they must see that you are able to sustain your present obligations and also this new lending option or credit line as well.
Lots of lenders will offer you a pre-qualified or pre-approval standing so you can look at just how likely you can get approved prior to doing a serious investigation for your credit history. It's possible for them to do this via a soft reach on credit, which is not going to impact your credit rating like a hard investigation. It'sas near as you'll get to an assured approval for loans.
Unsecured Personal Loan Amount
Exactly how much would you like to receive? That is an essential concern when applying for an unsecured loan. According to the financial institution, the minimal loan amount may be from $1K to $5K. And then they have varied maximum loans as well.
The highest possible sum might be from $35,000 to $40,000, according to the financial institution. With larger lending options, it is possible to get a smaller payment, additional time to pay it back, and a larger interest rate.
A greater monthly payment will help you to settle your debt faster at much less cost to you. The right thing to do would be to think about your own budget and evaluate various repayment solutions. Even though the lure could be there to get beyond what you need, you will still have to repay it all and should you receive more than you could manage to pay back, you could get in much more challenges than you considered.
When you really need $50,000, then you shouldn't borrow $100K, even if that is a possibility for you when looking for an unsecured personal loan in Helena, Alabama. Therefore think about all of your options, rates of interest, payment figures and service fees when deciding on how you want to take a loan.
How Difficult Could it be to Sign up for an Unsecured Personal Loan?
How complicated it can be to find an unsecured personal loan will depend on a number of variables. Should you meet the loan company's requirements then you shouldn't have a problem being qualified to borrow. The complications occur if you have lower income or inadequate credit history. Without having good credit ratings you cannot expect to get the cheapest interest rates offered. If you've got ordinary or weak credit you are likely to pay a higher interest and even perhaps present some more documentation to substantiate your earnings.
Secured lending options require assets, so they are simpler to find than unsecured loans. However, should you be someone who can readily meet the requirements, it is simple to receive an unsecured personal loan. You could improve your income and your credit scores until you do meet the requirements and repeat the process. The most important thing is to be able to show that you're making your payments punctually and your credit lines aren't maxed. If you would like an unsecured loan with an affordable interest rate and monthly payment, these are the factors to concentrate on.
Could it be Better to Handle Consumer Credit Card Debt with an Unsecured Personal Loan?
Chances are that your charge card rates are no less than 12% - 15%, and it may be as much as 19-23%, despite having decentcredit history. And this is during the time when loan providers can finance money from the federal government with interest rates at near 0% but they turnaround and charge me and you these high APRs. If that seems outrageous to you, you're not alone.
There is something you can do about this and it will not take too much time. There are actually marketplace loan companies that lend at an easily affordable rate in order to grow their businesses, and you may look into these. Eliminating credit card bills can be quick and easy with a lower rate unsecured personal loan. You can even qualify for a loan with a 5.99% interest. Discover exactly how much you will save each month by contrasting your existing interest rates to this.
A further advantage to unsecured personal loans is that they normally feature a set duration as an alternative to charge cards that go on indefinitely. This provides you with a fixed monthly payment and can have you eliminating your high rate consumer credit card debt in as low as two years according to the loan length you opt for.
Tired of the high interest rate and service fees of credit card providers? Look at unsecured loan offers from web based lenders. These lenders are frequently a lot more affordable.
Selecting Professional Lenders
Lots of consumers believe they could receive an unsecured loan with a low credit score or a lower income source in Helena, Alabama. Professional lenders will not let consumers get a loan at a low Interest rate if they have a reputation for neglecting obligations or insufficient income to repay their financing request. If this sounds like you, then you need to look at other strategies to help with your debt.
However if you do have adequate credit ratings and the income loan providers require, you can consider some of the best unsecured loan companies like Lightstream and Lending Club. You'll get the most affordable fees and rates of interest with these lenders. Lending Club gives loans as little as $1,000 to up to $40K and their rates of interest are as low as 5.99% and up to 35.89% APR. The origin fee of Lending Club is 1% to 6% of the loan amount, depending on your credit history.
If you'd like a more substantial loan, you could get competitive rates of interest with Lightstream on a loan from $5K to $100K. Additionally, they do not ask for any kind of origin charges and no prepayment charges.
Two of the leading providers of unsecured loans are Lightstream and Lending Club. There are other debt relief alternatives, though, if you do not qualify for these financing options. You could opt for a business such as National Debt Relief if you'd like to eliminate your debt, have a low payment amount, and pay off the financial debt for less than what you actually owe. That isn't a lending company, but a company that really helps to consolidate bills and make sure that you will be in a position to settle them with less strain on your spending budget.
So there you have 3 leading alternatives for cleaning up your finances and getting debt under control. If you have a good credit rating and the necessary income look into Lightstream and Lending Club. National Debt Relief is fantastic for individuals with bad credit. The longer you delay, the more you will find yourself paying every day.

Behind The Curtain
Chapter 1
There is still a magic of the rituals, especially when we're vibing together, stimulating an extreme climate of moods and intense thoughts, that I sweat out blood, consolidating the past to my parent of my future, Lucifer for I've meet you before death, through lalent needling threads dusting aura in a silhouette of temptation that backs itself up in forms out reality fulfilling meaning. For the mysteries of mysticism isn't replaced, just enhances, at least now I have forever to understand, while I'm formed into a symbol of light, where illumination is and I praise in the darkness. The Holy war provides more complex, while it's veil is simple. People cannot win the world by using the world to fight for their purpose for society in false revolutions. Humanity isn't worth fearing. I've peaked beyond the curtain and saw only horror on both sides of good and evil. It's frightening to see what people do for their side and personal success. Do not feed into their fear. You have mind, use it, live your life, before they take your life, there is a lot more enlightenment within yourself. As for me siding with Lucifer, for he hates all religion, ideology and culture, uplifting individuality to allow them to master of their own realm.

No more minimum auction running times, effective 2nd March 2020
AuctionsPlus regularly receives feedback from our customers that auction running times are too long.
We can't influence how long the auction runs for – this will always be dictated by market conditions and the amount of bidding. What we can influence is when buyers connect to the auction and commence bidding!
To ensure we continue to evolve and provide an efficient auction for both sellers AND buyers, AuctionsPlus will implement some changes to the current auction process.
Any changes need to balance the needs of both buyers and sellers on our platform. Our current process encompassing a 30-minute minimum run time encourages buyers to only commence bidding at the 30-minute mark, causing some auctions to prolong, leading to potentially reduced buyer participation at the final stages of the auction.
Analysis of sales on AuctionsPlus over two months identified serval key factors that have influenced our decision:
- Two-thirds of bidders connect to the auction in the first 15 minutes
- However, the majority of bids occur after the 30-minute mark
- One-quarter of active bidders place their FIRST bid after the 30-minute mark
Our conclusion? The first 30 minutes of an auction is not utilised efficiently – buyers are connected, but not actually placing bids.
In addition, resounding feedback from assessors and agents at our recent ThinkTank supported our objective to encourage bidders to connect and commence bidding earlier.
So what is new?
From Monday 2nd March 2020, all AuctionsPlus simultaneous livestock auctions will no longer have a guranteed 30 minute run time. Once the timer is on, it controls the auction.
This means that if there is no bidding activity on any lot when the timer is on, the sale will close.
To ensure all sellers have the opportunity for their lots to achieve market value, AuctionsPlus staff will still monitor sales closely.

Yeah it makes sense to prosecute them but more sense to EDUCATE them.
In UK most mums to be who attend anti natal classes don't seem to drink as much during pregnancy beacause, I guess, the classes explain the dangers and help the mum feel a huge sense of achievement for not drinking for 9 months.
(All personal experience no stats to back up.)
When all's said and done if I were a pregnant lady I'd knock the booze on the head for 9 months, because if there is a problem with the birth you would at least know bad habits were not to blame. Saying that, if I were a lady I wouldn't be getting pregnant, I'd be gay.

- Julen Lopetegui sacked as Spain manager one day before the World Cup.
- Cesar Azpilicueta's World Cup campaign thrown into uncertainty.
- READ MORE: Three players Chelsea could target after the World Cup
Julen Lopetegui, the manager of Cesar Azpilicueta's national team, Spain, has been sacked just one day before the start of the World Cup.
Azpilicueta was the only Chelsea player to be selected by Lopetegui for the World Cup, with Alvaro Morata, Cesc Fabregas and Marcos Alonso all missing out. That's a sackable offence in itself, but not the reason behind his dismissal.
On Tuesday afternoon, it was announced that Lopetegui would replace Zinedine Zidane as manager of Real Madrid. Antonio Conte had been linked with the vacant post, but his move to the Santiago Bernabeu never materialised.
Lopetegui secured the role. It was bizarre timing for the announcement, but it's not the first time it's happened. Louis Van Gaal was confirmed as the new Manchester United manager prior to the Netherlands' World Cup campaign, and they reached the semi-finals.
The Spanish FA appear to have their feelings hurt, though, and have made the rather foolish decision to part with Lopetegui just a day before the World Cup begins. Spain, who were considered one of the favourites to win it, have now been tossed into turmoil.

Endowment in Time Travel
What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you hear time travel? In fiction, one would be able to travel to the future through a time machine. Most of us fantasize about being able to time travel.
Instead of spending a long time waiting for the mango tree to ripen after sowing, just imagine if you could skip right to the end and enjoy the sweetness of the fruit. In reality, it is still not possible within the parameters of scientific boundaries for now. However today, one can actually "time travel" by moving into the later stages of one's endowment policies. Wouldn't it be great to travel forward to the ending part of an endowment policy and wait only for a few years before maturity?
Endowment policies are typically saving programmes that had been funded for a period with a fixed tenure to maturity. Most people would have bought or heard of endowment plan at one point of time. However, not many are aware that there is the other option of purchasing resale endowment policies on the market.
Time saving and higher returns
Resale endowment plans are essentially policies that people gave up due to various reasons. These policies had been funded for a period hence the time horizon for maturity is shorter. Growth in endowment plans would usually be slower in the initial years as compared to the later stages of the policies. This is because distribution costs have been factored in heavily during the initial years. Through "time travelling", we can bypass the initial years and move straight to the later stages of the policies where the compounding effect is stronger. By taking advantage of this, you do not have to wait 25 years anymore for the policy to mature.
Largest service provider
Repsinvest is currently the largest service provider for Resale Endowment Policies. After nine years of experience in dealing with resale endowments, Repsinvest has nurtured a team of dedicated consultants that are proficient in providing holistic solutions for various needs of clientele. From the first point of contact with Repsinvest, the consultants will guide them and facilitate the whole process through liaising and coordinating efforts with the insurance company. Even after the new policy holders take ownership of the resale endowment policies, our consultants will continue to handle the accounts and service the clients if they require further assistance.
Tailored solutions to fit your needs
Endowment policies are a form of instrument used to achieve individual's financial goals. Every policy has its benefits and limitations. For endowment policies, the time horizon for maturity is usually between 10 to 25 years. With Repsinvest, we offer a wide range of tailored endowment policies, ranging from 5 to 8 years' time horizon with better returns.
In short, Repsinvest is the time machine that helps you to achieve these two benefits through "time travelling" endowment policies: 1) shorter time horizon 2) better returns.
With the insights that you have acquired today, would you still want to go with the traditional way of buying a new endowment plan or "time travel" and reap the benefits of a resale endowment policy?
Making an informed decision early could change your financial future. Visit Repsinvest today at www.repsinvest.com.sg or call us at +65 6221 4770 to find out more.

The market of wholesale electronics comprises of various wholesale digital outlets in the form of wholesale liquidators, distributors and various exporters and importers of shopper digital merchandise.
"If a device is opened and turned on, you possibly can prove performance while it is nonetheless a valid IED (improvised explosive system), and the problem with these devices is that they're incredibly tough to establish with X-ray expertise". Trump's proposed ban on massive electronic devices in airplane cabins may cause a literal hearth-storm, in line with safety experts who say that piling devices in planes' cargo holds fairly than letting passengers carry them may result in lethal infernos.
Among the banned units might not be much bigger than a cell phone, adding to the confusion.

Explicitly defining company values is a task that can be pushed aside with ease as seemingly more urgent duties take precedence. This mission, though not simple, is one that can help a company stay organized in its pursuit of an exemplary internal ecosystem. Taking the time to formally define our values was an exercise in working "on" our business, versus working "in" our business…two very different things.
When we started our company, our values were always clear and universally shared without much formal discussion or distribution the benefit of being a very small group of people. We felt that defining them now would leave no room for doubt as we continue our rapid growth.
We distilled the combined thoughts of every single person in our company into what you see below.
To dig up the true, shared values within our company, we asked everyone to think about and send us up to five values that they live by or aspire to live by. We noticed several similarities and overarching ideas in the responses. These similarities became categories that we sent back out for even more feedback.
Upon reaching the final copy, we realized that this is a process that never ends. It is the responsibility of every one of us to protect and live by our value set, and in turn, preserve and contribute to our culture. These values are baked into the way we interview and hire, the high level of customer service we deliver, the way we view our coworkers, and our decision making process.
We're always looking for accountable, authentic and innovative people to join our team. If these values resonate with you, we'd enjoy the opportunity to speak with you.

Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas wedding: Here's what transpired at the Umaid Bhawan Palace
From groom Nick Jonas crooning for the bride at the white wedding to Priyanka Chopra's emotional moment at the jaimala, mid-day brings you inside details from 'global shaadi of the year'
After the elaborate mehendi and sangeet celebrations on Friday, the weekend saw India's favourite export Priyanka Chopra tie the knot with beau Nick Jonas in two separate ceremonies — a Christian wedding and a Hindu wedding. The desi girl gave the Jonas family a taste of Indian tradition as she followed all the customs before taking the saat pheras yesterday at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur.
One of the guests told mid-day, "The functions started as early as 8 am yesterday. The ceremonies kicked off with a puja; Nick was intrigued as he joined his bride for the mauli ceremony [where the sacred thread is tied on the wrists of the groom and bride]. Priyanka's brother Siddharth was constantly by the Jonases' side, explaining the significance of each ritual to them. Priyanka even indulged in a quick haldi ceremony before enjoying the chura ceremony in the afternoon. As per the custom, her uncle gifted her 21 bangles which were bathed in milk and rose petals. Her friends, including Arpita Khan Sharma, Srishti Behl Arya, Anjula Acharia and cousin Parineeti Chopra, followed it up by tying kalide."
The Hindu wedding started at 6 pm after the Sehrabandi puja, where a family member of the groom ties the turban. The source added, "A cheer went up among the guests as the bride and groom came face- to- face at the mandap. Priyanka teared up during the jaimala session."
The guest reveals that the white wedding on Saturday was just as exquisite, with the groom dedicating a song to his better half. "The bride and the groom wrote their own vows. It was followed by a beautiful speech by Priyanka's mother. PeeCee turned emotional during the speech as she missed her father sorely." It is heard that the Christian wedding was followed by a five- course meal, prepared by chefs who were handpicked by the couple. "Since PeeCee loves flowers, each table was named after a specific flower."
Troubled by trolls
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas became man and wife on Saturday with the pop star's father Kevin Jonas officiating the Christian wedding. Shortly after the ceremony, the skies lit up with an extravagant display of fireworks. No sooner had the pictures gone viral on the Internet than netizens started trolling the couple. They called out Chopra for her 'hypocrisy' since she was the face of an anti-pollution campaign during Diwali.

You know the drill – it's Friday, which means mergers and acquisitions time. Here's this week's round up:
Freelancer acquires Escrow.com for $7.5 million
Freelancer completed a $10 million raising in order to fund its acquisition of the US-based escrow services platform Escrow.com for US$7.5 million. Freelancer's CEO Matt Barrie said of the deal, "This highly complementary acquisition will enhance the ability of our 15 million users to transact securely, and there are large opportunities for growth and synergies with core offerings. Finally, it is a strong cornerstone for entering the payments space."
Ecommerce software provider Bigcommerce has announced its acquisition of Austin-based startup Zing, a provider of mobile retail technologies. The deal is Bigcommerce's first acquisition, and will see the company absorb Zing's team and acquire its intellectual property. It will allow Bigcommerce to make a range of APIs and technologies available to its point of sale partners, enabling the development of omni-channel solutions for retailers.
Nate Stewart, Zing's co-founder and CEO, said in a statement, "Since the company's inception, our mission at Zing has been to help business owners sell more effectively through products that simplify and streamline how they manage their retail operations, both online and in store. There is no better embodiment of that mission than Bigcommerce, and we're thrilled to bring our expertise to a company that has proven itself to be the most flexible and scalable platform for emerging brands to grow their business.
SolarWinds acquires Papertrail for $41 million

The acquisition of Papertrail adds another key element of that overall performance monitoring experience and we look forward to having the Papertrail team and technology as a part of our organization."
In a blog post about the deal, Papertrail co-founder Troy Davis added, "Eric and I started Papertrail to solve a problem we had: create the log management service that we wanted to use as developers and operations engineers ourselves, then make it as easy and as powerful as we can. We've done that: Papertrail is a thriving, profitable business trusted by tens of thousands of customers. That's been fulfilling enough that we're ready to "double down" and deliver amazing log management and infrastructure visibility at an even larger scale."

Invisalign® Cost in Sydney
Everyone dreams of perfectly straight and proportionate teeth to make them look and feel good.
While braces have been a common way to achieve that in the past, their metal structure is often too invasive and visually displeasing for many users.
Invisalign® is a treatment that helps straighten teeth without the help of visible metal braces.
Invisalign provides users the opportunity to wear a clear aligner that is invisible, but just as effective as any metal braces.
Not only are Invisalign braces invisible, they are highly flexible and can be removed to perform tasks like eating and brushing your teeth.
Due to their discreet and flexible nature, many people are skipping the uncomfortable metal braces and embracing the new revolutionary Invisalign® treatment to straighten their teeth for good.
3 Things To Know About Invisalign® Cost
No. 1: Is Invisalign worth the Investment?
Many people are concerned about the Invisalign® cost and if it is worth the investment.
Due to its many benefits, it may seem like Invisalign must cost a great deal.
However, that's not necessarily true.
While the initial cost of Invisalign may not match the cost of regular metal braces, the overall maintenance cost is much more manageable.
The benefits of invisibility, comfort, and ease of use, prove Invisalign treatment to be an excellent investment for your oral health.
No. 2: How much will Invisalign cost?
1. Complexity of your Case
Invisalign cost heavily depends on the unique nature of your case.
Some cases are much more complex than others and require special considerations, the cost of this treatment can vary accordingly.
If you have a mild case of misalignment then you can get it fixed much faster as opposed to a very severe case of bite and overcrowding.
2. Experience of your Dentist
An experienced dentist, having treated thousands of patients, will speed up your treatment to give you maximum cost benefits.
A professional clinician will be able to estimate the correct number of aligners you require and how long you need to wear them for, so as to get you the optimal teeth straightening outcomes and aesthetics.
3. How Long Treatment Lasts
The number of visits you make to the dentist and how long you wear your aligners contributes to the overall Invisalign® cost.
Hence, the expenses can depend upon the duration of your treatment, which furthermore, can be affected by advanced technology and methods that's being used by your clinician.
Smile Concepts use advanced tools and devices, such as Acceledent, that can speed up Invisalign treatment significantly, so as to transform your smile in as little as 6 to 8 months.
No. 3: Flexible Interest-free Payment Options
The easiest way to manage your Invisalign® cost is to consider a dental clinic with flexible, "No Interest Ever" payment plans.
Not only will these plans help you cover the costs over a long period of time, but will also help you get your Invisalign® treatment as soon as possible.
At Smile Concepts, Invisalign® cost starts from as little as $60/week on our INTEREST FREE payment plans, read more about our Interest Free plans and decide if this payment option suits you.
Alternatively, some individuals opt to settle the cost of Invisalign® treatment in full, and this can start from $4500.
Move forward with your new smile.

Invisalign has a host of benefits that can help your fix your teeth and create a flawless smile that will radiate good energy.

These No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups make a healthier autumn-themed treat that tastes sweet and decadent, while still offering lots of nutrients and no refined sugar. Perfect healthier dessert option for those with a sweet tooth. {Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan & paleo}
Although I post quite a bit about vegetables, salads and more savoury dishes, I'll admit that I do have a serious sweet tooth and always look forward to my desserts.
Although I try not to indulge too frequently, when I do, I like to make it worth it.
One of my favourite ways to consume dessert is in the form of cheesecake.
Let's just say, The Cheesecake Factory has my name written all over it.
What I love about Cheesecake Factory-style cheesecake is that it's not just a boring slice of cheesecake.
There are always so many flavours and layers of texture from smooth and velvety to chewy, fudgey and crunchy.
The PROBLEM with Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake is that one piece can be upwards of 800 calories.
Although I'm not usually one to count calories, that number glaring back at you on the menu is kinda hard to ignore.
It's nice for an occasional treat, but let's just say, I'm glad that the nearest Cheesecake Factory is two hours away. That place can be dan-ger-ous!
One thing that most people don't know about me is, that beyond being a health nut, I'm a bit of a dessert connoisseur and will search high and low for the PERFECT dessert that meets all of my criteria.
Let's just say I'm pretty picky about my desserts.
One of my top criteria that every dessert has to meet is that it not only has to be delicious (pretty much flavour city in every bite), but also have LOTS of texture.
I'm not about bland one-texture desserts.
Several months ago, I posted the recipe for my No-Bake Lemon Berry Cheesecake Cups, which were a huge hit in my house and also on the blog.
So of course, what do we do when a recipe goes over well?
We make it again using different flavours!
This time around, I modified the recipe to have more of an autumn flair.
The end result were these No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups.
The bottom chewy layer, which is basically a culmination of pumpkin spice flavour mixed with some pecan tart and nutty crunch, was born from my No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Bites.
I wanted a nice sweet "crust" to compliment the less sweet, yet creamier, cheesecake layer.
Finally, I topped the cups off with some nuts to add the crunch factor.
Sounding pretty good, right?
Here are five key things I love about these vegan pumpkin cheesecake cups:
- The BEST thing about these cups (beyond the fact that they're delicious, of course) is that there's minimal added sugar, and what has been added is a bit of non-refined pure maple syrup. We've sweetened these cups up using primarily dates, so you're not only getting the natural sweetness, you're also getting the addition of the fibre and magnesium.
- Next, with the addition of walnuts, pecans and cashews, there are plenty of monounsaturated fats and omega-3s, in addition to fibre, to keep that heart ticking.
- They're also perfectly portion-controlled and much kinder to the waistline than your typical cheesecake. Enough said!
- These little morsels are no-bake so they're really easy to prepare. And as an added bonus, they can be stored in the freezer for a quick healthier dessert option for when that sweet tooth kicks in.
- They're perfect for serving when you have company. Simply make up a batch ahead of time, store in the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
So the next time the Cheesecake Factory is calling your name, try whipping up your own healthier version with these mini dairy-free pumpkin cheesecakes!

New York City's War on Graffiti
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-mansbach/nyc-graffiti_b_2527074.html by Adam Mansbach Thirty years ago — at the height of New York City's "War on Graffiti," and in an act of faith utterly incommensurate with the city's public demonization of graffiti writers — a group of teenagers named SHY 147, DAZE, MIN and DURO met with MTA official Richard Ravitch, and proposed a deal. Give the writers of New York City one train line to adorn with their vibrant aerosol murals, and they would leave the rest alone. Let them paint for six months, then let the public vote on the merits of their contribution. Ravitch suggested that if the writers want to contribute, he would give them all brooms, and hostilities resumed. The subway's exteriors have been art-free since 1989, but the war has never really ended. New York City remains rigidly opposed to the very aesthetic of graffiti — even if the art in question is perfectly legal. Today, advertisers have learned to faithfully, if flavorlessly, appropriate graffiti's ethos of logo repetition, as anyone who has ridden the train lately can confirm. In the city that incubated the most important popular art movement of the 20th century, the message is clear: public space can be yours, if you pay for it. Unless what you put there reminds them of graffiti, that is. I learned this last week, when I tried to buy space to advertise my new novel. The silver walls where "burners" used to blaze are now for rent; anyone willing to pay fifty thousand dollars to a company called CBS Outdoor can buy advertising "stripes" for a month. For considerably more, one can "wrap" an entire train in product messaging. "The issue," CBS Outdoor wrote in an email, explaining why my proposal had been rejected, "is the style of writing. The MTA wants nothing that looks like graffiti." Admittedly, my book title is rendered in colorful, flowing letters, by the Brooklyn artist Blake Lethem. Admittedly, this would not have been the first time Mr. Lethem's work had graced a train. But what exactly is the rubric by which the MTA judges a letter's graffiti-ness? At what stylistic tipping point does a word becomes impermissible to the same entity that has approved liquor adverts depicting naked women in dog collars, and bus placards featuring rhetoric widely condemned as hate speech against Palestinians? And if the NYPD defines graffiti as "etching, painting, covering or otherwise...Read More

Remembering…IZ the Wiz
Michael Martin, Subway Graffiti Artist Iz the Wiz, Is Dead at 50 "This is it…..This is it…" By WILLIAM GRIMES Published: June 29, 2009 by the New York Times In the 1970s and '80s, chances were good that anyone traveling the New York subways rode at least once in a car emblazoned with "Iz the Wiz." Cryptic but euphonious, often abbreviated to the ultraminimal IZ, the signature could be seen all over the subway system: fat capital letters spray-painted on a door, below a window, across an entire car or even along the full length of a train. Iz the Wiz was a legend among graffiti artists, by almost all accounts "the longest-reigning all-city king in N.Y.C. history," as the graffiti Web site at 149st.com puts it. In other words, Iz put his name, or tag, on subway cars running on every line in the system more times than any other artist. Michael Martin — Iz the Wiz — died on June 17 in Spring Hill, Fla., where he had moved a few years ago. He was 50. The cause was a heart attack, said Ed Walker, who is working on a biography and documentary of Iz the Wiz. "Look at any movie shot on location in New York from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and you will very likely see an Iz tag," Mr. Walker said. "He told me once that in 1982 he went out every night and did at least a hundred throw-ups" — letters filled in quickly with a thin layer of color. "People can't fathom it." Michael Martin, known as Iz the Wiz, was a prolific embellisher of New York subway cars, including this one painted in 1982. Not everyone was appreciative. His career put him on the wrong side of the law — he was issued summonses on several occasions — and of New Yorkers who regarded graffiti as vandalism, not art. But he was a hero to generations of taggers. Mr. Martin started out spraying graffiti on walls and buildings when he was 14, using the tags Scat or FCN, for French Canadian National, although he was not Canadian. He soon graduated to subway cars, specializing in the A line, the longest in the New York subway system. He painted his first cars with the tag Ike — his nickname, Mike, minus the first letter. In 1975, in the 68th...Read More
Remembering…Stay High 149
Wayne Roberts, 'Stay High 149' in Graffiti Circles, Is Dead at 61 By DAVID GONZALEZ Published: June 12, 2012 by the New York Times Wayne Roberts was a pioneering 1970s graffiti writer known as "Stay High 149" who borrowed the haloed stick figure from the title sequence of the 1960s television series "The Saint," put a joint in its mouth and turned it around. His "Smoker" tag, or signature, turned the heads of legions of imitators and admirers, including the anonymous teenagers who slipped into train yards at night to paint whole cars, as well as Norman Mailer, who featured him in his book "The Faith of Graffiti." Mr. Roberts, who disappeared from the scene for some 25 years until he was rediscovered by a new generation of fans and artists in 2000, died on Monday at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx. He was 61. The cause was complications of liver disease, his sister Pauline Noble said. "He was incredibly influential for generations," said Eric Felisbret, founder of the graffiti archive @149st and author of "Graffiti New York." "He set the pace for how to do an elegant tag and set yourself apart from other people. It was like corporate branding." Mr. Roberts was born in Emporia, Va., on Oct. 20, 1950. He never knew his father — not even his name — and moved to Harlem as a child with his mother and his younger brother, Eddie. The family moved to the Bronx in 1966. He recounted on his Web site that by his late teens he was working as a messenger on Wall Street and smoking about an ounce of marijuana a week, earning the Stay High nickname. In his subway travels he noticed other tags — TAKI 183, JOE 182 and PRAY — and followed suit with his own creation, according to his site. He said he could hit as many as 100 trains a day and twice that at night, when he sometimes did larger pieces. "In 1972, Wayne was 22, and he was taking the train to deliver all over the city," said Chris Pape, a younger graffiti writer and co-author, with Sky Farrell, of Mr. Roberts's biography, titled "Stay High 149," published by Gingko Press. "He rode empty trains all day with markers in his pocket, and he wrote everywhere." Mr. Pape said the Smoker figure was a departure from the tags of...Read More

It gets hot in the south of France, so juicy, complex 14-15% abv wines are not uncommon. These big wines, like Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape, are what make many critics lose their minds. Some of the wines are stellar, but some have left me wondering if the critics had also lost their taste buds.
On the other side of the spectrum, the northern Rhone puts out generally lighter, less alcoholic but still amazingly complex and delicious wines. As an example, one of the best wines I have had, ever, was a Cote-Rotie I bought to help celebrate my wife's birthday. Compared to the south, fewer wines are made, even fewer are exported, still fewer are written about. Sadly, this review is not about a northern Rhone beauty.
Instead, it is about a mild-mannered, 13.5% abv southern Rhone beauty, with lively-if-light fruit, a slightly spicy bite and a great backbone of tannin and acidity.
One thing this wine lacks is pedigree. Another way of saying that is, beware of an inexpensive wine that says "reserve" on the label in big letters. Thats kinda like a Corolla that says "turbocharged." Meaning, even if it is true, you probably don't want to experience the result. In fact I almost did not buy this wine because of that red lettering. Glad I gave in to impulse.
Another thing it lacks is finish. Meaning, after the initial 2 seconds of mild sensory pleasure, its gone. bye bye! You'll have to take another sip, or at least stick your nose back in the glass, to keep it rolling.
This wine is a solid and enjoyable example of Rhone terroir. It could probably compete with many $15+ bottles. In fact, I'm going to slip it in alongside a Cote-Rotie the next time I host a tasting.
varietal: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre
cost: $9
verdict: Try!

Album Leaf A Chorus of Storytellers
Published Feb 22, 2010It's not that often that a band are able to successfully change their sound 12 years into a career. But that's exactly what Jimmy LaValle has done on the fifth album from his long running sometimes side-project the Album Leaf. Ditching the electronic blips and bleeps that typified previous releases, LaValle has embraced the lush, live orchestration of frequent tour-mates and collaborators Sigur Rós, creating a pop version of Icelandic art-rock. Hardcore fans might feel betrayed by the change in direction, as A Chorus of Storytellers feels far more like a collective effort than Album Leaf records of the past. But the Rhodes piano lines that were at the heart of the band's music remain, augmented by strings and live drums. The instrumentals that buffer the tracks with vocals benefit the most from the new sound, creating a sublime recording that hooks you in and never lets go. (Sub Pop)
