In four months' time, nine very good – or very lucky, if you're a Swiss high court judge – poker players will face off for the ultimate prize in poker. When I say face off, I don't mean in the literal Spanish sense of course, because these guys poker faces are clearly in no need of replacement. In fact, they should get them insured for millions.

...And They All Look Just The Same
As a young child I observed the dichotomy of suburban and rural geography, the expanding borders of southern Ontario cities that were gradually encroaching on the surrounding farmland. From my first bedroom window I had a completely unobstructed view of Canada's busiest highway, the 401, lying about a kilometer from my home. The house itself, though a semi-detached unit, looked something like one of the miniatures on the cover of Population. As I grew, the vacant fields that guided my view of the highway began to see mass residential expansion, which plotted home after home of similar design all the way from my house to the expressway in the distance. Soon enough all I could see were homes, unique as they could be with buyer's choice of shingle, brick, and garage door colour. In such environments, it's almost as if the situation begs for something to stand out and distance itself from the pack.
I grew up in the northwest corner of Mississauga. The Most Serene Republic's hometown of Milton, On, is just a few exits down the 401. The landscape transformation I observed way back then is still taking place, churning out development after development that's slowly suffocating the remaining space between our neighboring towns. This happens in lots of municipalities, but knowing that The Most Serene Republic have viewed the same particular transformation that I have has given me a more personal motivation to think hard about the title and meaning of the band's latest album (which by the way, is excellent). Population (Arts & Crafts) deals with many subjects, including the fear of uniform monotony, using multi-layered, challenging songwriting the band is known for. Each song gives the same impression as a custom-built home jutting out of a carbon copy grid. They seek to cement a strong identity with ambitious music in a community filled with acts that too often hedge their bets, minimize risk, and stay safe. There aren't enough good things I can say about the album, just check it out and judge for yourself.
They're heading west touring Population right now with Dragonette, Mother Mother, and Small Sins (on some stops). Work got in the way of attending last night's Ottawa show at Zaphod's but my hope is that the album's popularity warrants another cross country tour in the new year.

Latest News
Dear Pastor,
I am writing to tell you about my brother, who is having an affair with my friend, who is married. My brother knows that I know that he is having sex with this woman. It has been going on for over a year now.
This girl and my brother were friends before she got married. Her parents are living abroad and they sent down a man, and she told me that she fell in love with him. The man did not stay in Jamaica for any long period, but kept in touch with her while he was away. He came back to Jamaica and they got married. My brother even attended the wedding, but this girl and my brother have never stopped sleeping together. Sometimes when her husband calls her, she tells him that she is with me. She is really at our house, but she is in my brother's bed.
Her husband believes in phone sex, and so he calls her and tells her to put on something sexy and tells her what he is putting on and what to do and so on, and my brother is right there in the room listening to what she is telling him and what he is telling her. The both of them laugh at the man. Is that right, Pastor? I told her that that is not right. When she finishes having phone sex, she and my brother have the real thing and they come to the table in the morning, eat and drink. She tells me everything that she and my brother do together. I do not have a husband. I have two children, and my children's father is in one of the small islands working. I wouldn't want to treat him the way my friend is treating her man.
My brother is not interested in having another girl, although he knows that this girl is married. Once, she told me that she was pregnant, but later on, she told me it was false alarm. Although my brother said that he is not interested in any other girl, he has another girlfriend. She doesn't know that he is having a relationship with my friend. Sometimes I feel like I should tell her, but I hold my tongue because my brother will know that I am the one who told her. What is your suggestion, Pastor?
Dear M.G.,
This is another reason why some men don't trust women. It is said that men are cunning, but the truth is, some women are just as bad. Here is a man who came to Jamaica, fell in love with a woman, and this could be genuine love. This woman might have another motive for loving him, but whatever the motive, they got married, and the man believes that she is a good woman, that she is clean, and now he is looking forward to having her in his country.
She has given him the impression that all is well and that she loves him. She is making a fool of him by participating in the so-called phone sex and her boyfriend and herself just laugh at the man. One is tempted to ask: When does a man trust a woman, and why should he trust her anyway? Where are the good women? Is it fair to say that there are not many? You should tell this woman not to come back to your house if her intention is to have sex with your brother. You should tell your brother that it has been bothering you and you know it is wrong for her to be giving her husband the impression that she is at your house visiting you, when she is really there to have a good time in bed with your brother. If your bother wants to go with her where she is, that is his business, but they should not use your house as a convenient place to have sex. If you remain silent, that means you are encouraging them to do what they are doing.
I think you should caution your brother. Tell him that if he does not cease from having a sexual relationship with this married woman, you would be forced to tell his girlfriend about the relationship he is having with this married woman.

Kannur, (Kerala) Sep 11 :
The prime accused in the killing of RSS leader K.T. Manoj in Kannur last week surrendered in a court here Thursday, police said.
According to police, Vikraman arrived at the Kannur first class magistrate's court on a two-wheeler around 11.30 a.m, forced his way into the court and surrendered.
The court later sent him to 14 days police custody.
Manoj and his friend Pramod were last week attacked by a group of men who threw a a bomb on their vehicle at Kathirur near here.
As the vehicle came to a stop, the armed assailants hacked Manoj to death, while Pramod survived the attack and is convalescing at the Kozhikode medical college hospital.
Police Monday took a statement from Pramod, who clearly identified the seven-member gang of assailants.
Ever since the murder, the name of Vikraman, who is allegedly close to the local Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leaders was mentioned and a few days later, police named him as the prime accused.
Informed sources in police claimed that Vikraman was hiding in villages where the CPI-M enjoys very strong support but Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) leaders alleged that Vikraman's surrender was stage managed by police and the CPI-M.
Meanwhile the state leadership of the CPI-M informed the party national leadership at the two- day politburo meeting which began in Delhi Thursday that the party has no role in this episode.
But the police probe team has already served notices to a few local CPI-M leaders to appear before them. On Wednesday, one party leader appeared before them but was let off after a few hours.
The Kerala government last week decided to hand over this case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) while the state BJP and RSS leaders have briefed union Home Minister Rajnath Singh about the case.
Manoj was one of the people accused of making an unsuccessful bid on the life of Kannur CPI-M district secretary P. Jayarajan in 1999.

Spoilers: Gwyneth Paltrow talks about her "wardrobe" in Iron Man 3
If you're reading this right now, it means that you noticed that I attached the word "spoilers" to my title. So as long as we are all on the same page, then I'll move on.
For the sake of seeing anything on the front page though, let's just talk for a second about how awesome IRON MAN 3 is going to be. Well, at least I think it's going to be a crazy fun ride. When Shane Black stepped on in place of Jon Favreau, I could not have been more excited about the possibilities of what he might bring to the table. This is the guy who did KISS KISS BANG BANG, so there certainly has to be a nice, fresh perspective injected into the world of Tony Stark.
But I'm digressing, so let's get back to Ms. Potts....
As everyone may have already guessed (or if you've been a loyal Iron Man comic fan), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) slips into one of Tony's suits. During a media outlet for the film, Paltrow spoke about wearing the suit and how it made her a cool mom in the eyes of her child:
I didnât mind wearing the suit at all. I thought it was light and perfectly comfortable and my children thought I was extremely cool. They were here on a day where I was in it, so they were trying it on and when my son saw me in the suit, he had the biggest eyes, so it was definitely worth it.
I would wear the suit home then start cooking in it and maybe do some gardening on the front lawn. I could jump rope. Doesn't mean it would be easy, but f*ck it would be awesome.Then Kevin Feige decided to spill some beans of his own. Marvel's president discussed the dynamic between Tony and Rhodey, and how that would play out in the film. Then he revealed some juicy details on Aldrich Killian's role in everything:
So, at the beginning, we see that the President has asked Rhodey as War Machine to get a new paint job and take on the new moniker of the Iron Patriot in order to do American business and be the American hero as opposed to The Avengers or Iron Man himself, who is sort of a separate entity... In a way it becomes a buddy action film, in the third act, where they team up. Neither of them have a suit at a certain point in the movie and they really team up in a great, sort of old- fashioned action movie way and Don and Robert have such an amazing rapport. Aldrich Killian heads a brain-trust organization called AIM that is developing Extremis, which is something that taps into human DNA and is able to reprogram it and regenerate limbs and enhance strength and cure wounds. But it also could change the whole world, which is what Killian intends to do with it.

Although the idea of overhauling your diet and incorporating more vitamins and minerals can seem a little daunting, there are plenty of options for everyone (even those who hate vegetables!). Read this article for some great tips and tricks to make your diet more balanced and healthful for a happier body!
For men over 50, a different set of vitamins and minerals are required for optimum health. Vitamins like zinc, pantothenic acid and niacin all decrease as men age. Look for supplements that are specifically targeted towards men who are over 50 years of age for the best blend for optimum health.
Do not assume that it is always safe to take any vitamins you want. If you have certain health conditions, it can be quite dangerous to take certain ones. You should also be careful if you take prescription medications since taking certain vitamins can cause a negative interaction with them.
The first step to proper nutrition is eating a balanced, healthy, whole foods diet. Target seven servings of vegetables and fruits, along with some protein in small amounts. If you find this impossible, it is wise to turn to supplemental vitamins and minerals.
Taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement can keep you healthy and save you money in doctor bills. They can improve how you feel and could reduce your number of doctor's visits.
There are a lot of benefits for men to take vitamin E, but women need it as well. Vitamin E has anti-aging benefits and will help battle cell damage that is related to aging. Vitamin E also can prevent cataracts and heart disease. Almonds, hazelnuts, spinach and sunflower seeds are all rich in Vitamin E.
You have worked hard to lose weight but you seem to have hit a wall with weight loss and burning fat. Try adding different vitamins and minerals to your low fat diet to break on through. Your body has probably consumed the vitamins and minerals stored in the body that aides in promoting weight loss and it simply needs more than you are consuming in your diet to jump start the old engine.
There are millions of people who believe drinking water religiously is the key to overall good health. This is very true except you are also flushing the body of many nutrients, vitamins and minerals, it needs to function properly. Always make sure that at the least you are taking some form of one a day vitamin to keep the body satisfied in its needs.
Take your vitamins in the way that's right for you. While the best way to get vitamins and minerals is through food, you may have to take a supplement. If you struggle swallowing pills, you could find smaller or chewable pills to take. You can also use the powders that mix with water.
When you take care of your body, it shows. You feel more energetic, alert, and ready to take on the day. A very necessary part of feeling healthier is to take in more vitamins and minerals. This article should have given you a great place to start when it comes to balancing your diet!

My Monthly Favourites had been placed on the back-burner recently as I was trying to get a bit more organised. But we have a lot of beautiful things this month. So sit back, relax and prepare yourself for my latest edition of Monthly Favourites.
As normal, there are links to my partners and affiliates. If you click these links and buy stuff, I earn a small commission.
I have been going on for ages about the state of my house. I really hate it. Recently I was contacted by Little Greene Paint and Paper about testing out their paint. Despite getting the paint over a month ago, I still haven't got the chance to use it. It turns out that my living room walls have several layers of paint, paper and super glue holding the walls up. Not even joking. Pulled some paper off and part of the wall came with it. So, it might be a while before I get the proper post up, but I did a little tester to see what the paint is like, and so far I'm impressed.
I wear glasses for reading and working at the computer. But I am also a sunglasses wearer. If you ever meet me in real life, you will probably see me wearing a pair of shades. It's not a fashion statement, I have a sensitivity to sunlight. But, I have never had a pair of prescription sunglasses. I was sent these last month for review and they have barely been off my face! Every time I step outside, sunglasses go on. If there is anything in this world that I recommend, invest in good sunglasses!
Protein Bites
Go Bites Boost – DATE and COCONUT – Tasty 100 Percent Natural Energy Balls – Box of 16
I have been training loads recently and was over the moon when I was sent these bites to try! Protein snacks tend to be a bit nasty. These bites taste amazing! I was hoping that they would last me a while but they didn't. I couldn't stop myself from eating them. If you need something that tastes good when you are training, these are amazing! The hazelnut and chocolate were like eating a fancy chocolate. But my favourites had to be the date and coconut. They were so sweet!
Recipe Book
Go Faster Food for Your Active Family: Perform Better | Have More Energy | Eat Delicious Food
Ok, that is obviously not a picture of the book. Instead, I thought I'd show you what I have made from Go Faster Food for Your Active Family: Perform Better | Have More Energy | Eat Delicious Food. I was sent the book along with the protein bites and I am loving it! The recipes are easy to follow, easy to make and highlight different foods. Healthy eating has become a bit of a nightmare these days (and kind of confusing). I get it, some food is Insta worthy, some isn't. If you are the sort of person who wants to get back to basics and eat simple (but healthy) food, then give this book a go.
Asics Women's Patriot 8 Competition Running Shoes, Multicolor (Diva Blue/Flash Coral/Aqua Splash), 7.5 UK
Lots of training means I could justify getting some new trainers! I decided to invest in a pair of Asics Patriot 8 running shoes for in the gym and the Parkrun. They have been really comfy for running in and have a good grip for in the gym. Shoes are one of those things that you should invest good money in. If your feet are comfy, the rest of you will be too.
The Thousand Tiny Miracles of Living Twice: A feel good summer romance with angels and fantasy (Angel Aid Book 1)
I've been going hardcore with my reading now that I am a bit more organised. A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to receive the new novel from Katarina West. The Thousand Tiny Miracles of Living Twice has just been released and Katarina was kind enough to send me a signed copy. I don't want to give too much away, and you can read the full review in the Kappacino Book Club, but I loved it! There is a certain simplicity in the writing that makes a complicated story easy to follow. The story turned out to be completely different from what I imagined, but I think that was the point of the story.
Fitness Gear
I'm sure you guys have seen on my Instagram, I'm training a lot. The photos that I post are only a fraction of what I really do. My trainer, Lauren, has gotten us all some new gear for working out in and it's awesome! It feels like we are a team when we are working out now. We even wore our vests on the day of our boat race.I love having gym gear like this and feeling like part of a team.

Victoria Beckham has been looking particularly relaxed and clear-skinned recently – despite heading up a rapidly growing fashion empire, whilst juggling four children and two decades with husband David.
As well as keeping a positive mindset, the British designer believes that what you put in your body is as crucial as what you put on your body when it comes to feeling good and for overall health:
"I don't think you realise how important [a healthy lifestyle is] until you get older," she explains. "You realise how vital it is to wear sunscreen; to drink lots of water; to cleanse, tone, moisturise; take vitamins; make sure you're eating the right food. I eat lots of good fats, in avocados, nuts, seeds, salmon. I've also started seeing [nutritionist] Amelia Freer.
"I've learned so much about food; you've got to eat the right things, eat the right healthy fats. I usually get up about 6am, do a bit of a workout, get the kids up, get them changed, give them breakfast, get them to school, then do a bit more working out before I go to the office. And to do all of that, I've got to fuel my body correctly."
Victoria adds that the secret to her glowing, spot-free skin is eating salmon every single day, as well as taking vitamins and eating healthily:
"I see a dermatologist in LA, called Dr Harold Lancer, who is incredible, I've known him for years – he sorted my skin out," she told Net-a-Porter's The Edit. "I used to have really problematic skin and he said to me, 'You have to eat salmon every single day.' I said, 'Really, every day?' And he said, 'Yes; breakfast, lunch or dinner, you have to eat it every single day.'"
Can it really be that simple? We decided to take a deeper look at the omega-3's that have been helping Victoria's skin.
Fresh salmon is packed full of omega-3's, which are great for glowing skin, glossy hair and for a brain-boosting sense of wellbeing. But, eating salmon every single day simply isn't an option for most of us, who tend to eat on the run without a private chef, nutritionist, (or, indeed, an A-list food budget) to fall back on, so a growing number of people are relying on taking omega-3 in supplement form.
Since 2004, sales have risen by 40 per cent, with the bottles of cod liver oil that our grandmothers used to swear by being (thankfully) consigned to the annals of history.
Fish oil-based supplements have received some bad press recently, with the inventor of the popular 5:2 diet, health guru Dr Michael Mosley, telling Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper that he doesn't think much of them.
However, an excellent way of ensuring you're getting enough omega-3 in a supplement is by taking one which contains flaxseed oil – which a lot of people prefer due to fears over all the contaminants in our seas.
We asked Lumity's creator, Dr Sara Palmer Hussey, PhD, what the benefits of flaxseed oil over fish oils are and which one is better for your health.
Sara says: "Flaxseed oil contains one of the highest concentrations of the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is needed by every cell in the body. It helps cell membranes (walls) stay flexible so that nutrients can enter easily.
"Omega-3 fatty acids have also been demonstrated to reduce inflammation, stabilise sugar levels, lower insulin levels, increase the radiance and elasticity of the skin, improve cardiovascular health, increase energy levels and boost the immune system.
"The body uses ALA to make all the other omega-3 fatty acids that it needs, including both EPA and DHA (the form found in fish oils), but without the possibility of contaminants. Contaminants in fish oils might include mercury, arsenic, dioxins and PCBs.
"Ideally, you might actually eat fish, such as salmon, once or twice a week and combine with a plant source of ALA, such as flaxseed oil, for optimum levels of all omega-3 fatty acids."
So there you have it; if you want the easy way to the glowing, blemish-free skin that omega-3 gives you, then take a daily supplement that contains flaxseed oil, and eat fish just a couple of times a week – instead of every single day like Victoria Beckham.
For a fantastic way to banish spots try a turmeric face mask which is surprisingly effective. And, for the latest beauty advice from A-list facialists, we have put together a list of top-flight skincare tips.
We're here to help you on your journey to enhanced beauty
and better living. We look forward to hearing from you!

Another jolt to Akali Dal as two MLAs join Congress
The ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab suffered another jolt on Tuesday when two of its sitting legislators joined the Congress ahead of the assembly elections in the state.punjab Updated: Dec 07, 2016 12:18 IST
In another jolt to the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab, two Akali MLAs — Maheshinder Singh and Rajwinder Kaur Bhagike — joined the Congress in New Delhi on Tuesday. Maheshinder represents the Baghapurana assembly seat and Rajwinder is the sitting MLA from Nihal Singh Wala constituency.
Four sitting MLAs have already quit the Akali Dal, including Inderbir Bolaria, Pargat Singh, Sarwan Singh Phillaur and Avinash Chander. Akali MP from Ferozepur Sher Singh Ghubaya's son Davinder and wife Krishna Rani have also decided to join the Congress.
Welcoming Maheshinder and Kaur into the party fold, Punjab Congress chief Captain Amarinder Singh said this would help strengthen the party ahead of the assembly polls. He reiterated that the exodus of leaders and workers from the Akali Dal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would further increase as the elections drew closer, especially after the imposition of the code of conduct in Punjab.
"Akali leaders who have changed sides by joining the Congress expecting electoral prospects will hardly make any dent to the party's prospects in assembly polls. Such leaders were not sincere to the party,"Parkash Singh Badal, Punjab chief minister
Amarinder also welcomed SAD leader Pritam Singh Kotbhai and social activist from Phillaur Ajay Sharma into the party fold. Kotbhai lost narrowly to the Congress candidate in the last election.
"We can be their loyalists but not slaves. The insult meted out to me by sending police at my residence has hit me. They think they can terrorise me. I have quit the Akali Dal not for being denied a party ticket but because of the humiliation," Maheshinder said after joining the Congress.
Meanwhile, prospects of cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu of joining the Congress also brightened on Tuesday with Amarinder announcing he met the former BJP MP and said he was "inclined" to support the party. Indicating an announcement soon by Sidhu on his role in the Congress, Amarinder said the decision on whether to contest from the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat in the bypoll had been left to the cricketer-turned-politician.
The state Congress chief said while the decision on ticket allocation was the prerogative of party president Sonia Gandhi, he would be happy to campaign for Sidhu's wife, Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu, if she gets the ticket for Amritsar East assembly segment. He added that all candidates for the 117-member assembly will be announced after December 8, for when the next meeting of the Congress election committee is scheduled.
Asked what does the former cricketer wants from the Congress, Amarinder said: "He doesn't want anything. He just has to make up his mind on whether he would like to carry on with what he is doing or whether he wants to come..."
"...no assurance from his side, but certainly I feel the way he was talking, he would like to campaign for the Congress or work for the party. But this he has to announce himself," he added.
On whether Sidhu will contest the Amritsar Lok Sabha by-poll, Amarinder Singh said: "That will be the Congress president's decision. I don't think he is interested."
Sidhu had earlier represented Amritsar in the Lok Sabha. Amarinder won the seat in the 2014 general elections by defeating the present Union finance minister Arun Jaitley, but resigned from the LS membership on November 11 in the wake of the Supreme Court verdict on a presidential reference on the Sutlej-Yamuna Link canal.

The mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni, and the minister of fine arts and culture, Francesco Rutelli, have agreed to meet in the second half of October in order to discuss a calendar designed to put an end to bickering between Rome and Venice over the dates of their respective film festivals. Venice feels that the new Rome festival, due to run from 13 21 October, follows much too closely on its own annual festival, which today opens for the 63rd consecutive year, with the result that neither festivals enjoys the prestige and impact it should.
The problems to resolve will test the various parties conciliatory skills as the scope for manoeuvre does not seem great; one of the problems is that the seat for Romes festival, the Auditorium of the Parco della Musica, is where the Accademia di S. Cecilia holds an intense series of concerts running from November to May, most of which are programmed three years ahead. The new coordinated calendar would also try to take into account the annual Turin film festival, due to run this year from 10 18 November.

Ok so I picked this one up because it was on one of those annoying advertisements that Kindle puts on when you put it in sleep mode. I read the blurb on it and decided to give it a try. Well it didn't disappoint.
Quick setting: The hero, Nick Sayler, is a Private Detective with a checkered past who is still dealing with the loss of his girlfriend. He gets a phone call in the middle of the night from a ER doctor saying there was a woman found beaten and can't remember anything, and the only thing on her was his business card. He doesn't want to help but when he sees her he is compelled by her beauty and the fact that she has the same violet colored eyes as his deceased girlfriend. Now he can't stop helping her.
This really was a good "who done it" book. I couldn't figure out who the killer was until it was revealed in the end, even though during their investigation Nick mentions them as a suspect.
My only issue is that the author tried to make some of the scenes more exciting but by doing so she left out details that would have been obvious. Such as one scene: The pet dog get wounded and they call the vet, the vet has a similar car to the killer, when the vet gets to the house the girl runs to the car and jumps in ready to go. The author doesn't mention that the girl should have the dog in her arms, and if she didn't have the dog why's she getting into the car with the vet when the dogs in the house? So the author leads us to believe that the girl is getting into the car with the the killer, and that wasn't the case.
Other then that I really enjoyed it and will be eagerly awaiting book number 2

Haji is a family boat. She was built by my Grandad in his back garden, and was his and Nan's home for years. My Dad has sailed Haji a lot over the past few years, and I have learnt a lot on board.
You will be walking along the pontoon, and there will be all the usual suspects: the Sun Odysseys, Océanis', Hallberg Rassys, Feelings… and then there is Haji. She isn't the prettiest of the lot, but man does she look loved, and lived in, and ready to cross Ocean after Ocean.
My favourite thing about being on board is all the history, everywhere you look. Little notes dotted around, in Grandad's scrawl, telling you what or what not to do. Even the height of the ceiling was intended for him, just clearing his head. There are photos on the walls, and three illustrations from articles that Grandad wrote. To give you an insight into life on Haji back in the day, here is one of those same articles.
"It's amazing how the compulsion to prove yourself right can persuade you to take foolhardy risks particularly when you are up against the opinions of your spouse.
We were at anchor in the intra coastal waterway off Titusville, Florida, and needed a new backstay, so we rowed the inflatable dinghy into the Marina to land at the boatyard. In the murky water, the Mate (Nan) noticed something floating – a brand-new stepladder, which we returned to shore.
After completing our business, I was rowing back to the boat with my wife, when she said; 'there's another stepladder in the water.'
The subsequent conversation went something like this (modified – it was a very hot day):
Skipper: 'No it's not, it's an alligator.'
Mate: 'Don't be silly. This is a marina, you don't find alligators in marinas.'
I decided not to exacerbate the argument, but rowed quietly towards the object, which was lying stern on to us on the way to the Marina entrance.
We drew alongside the object, which proved somewhat longer than our Redcrest inflatable dinghy. The mate had lost interest and was looking the other way, so J got her attention by shouting 'look!' and poking it with an oar. Fortunately, the alligator did not take offence, but merely woke up and got underway towards the marina entrance, whilst my wife screamed and dived for the bottom of the dinghy with her hands over her head.
Point made: Skipper right again!
Now, I have great respect for the comparative strength of Avons over there inflatables; however, the probable result of interaction between this large alligator and our ancient Redcrest did not take long to sink long and did not bear contemplation. Thus, it was a somewhat subdued skipper who followed the alligator (at a respectful distance) back out to the anchorage and the safety of our Rival yacht.
In my defence, I can only say I did not expect the alligator to be that big! They are not as aggressive as crocodiles, and, anyway, it was the only way to prove the Skipper right."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: phranque
I am experimenting with choreographing a method of expression for young people who have no internet voice. Perhaps children over 3 or 4 can comprehend some of what the internet is about.
They should not have to wait another decade to act and to express as they will live here longer than any of us. On some issues that their parents will not face, they need a resource to deal with aspects of their reality that adults are in denial of.
In all cases, they (young people) need a route around and protection from the irs-ed matrix, a protection from that form of theft and protection from the schools who act as if nothing is wrong, .... that america still enables the theft or the irs through its sick passivity. Unconstitutional taxes for example!
Google, yahoo, and msn live search have been first page receptive to the context so far in the search terms of [search engine results manipulation] management... and Boy! that's about a miracle! Thanks...rrh (VirtueBios)
"They should not have to wait another decade to act and to express as they will live here longer than any of us" thus will also have more time to get bored with that internet thingy
This, unfortunately, is not a time for dolls and trains; there is an emergency.

Listen to this article
Former Hong Kong security secretary Regina Ip has said she is dropping out of the race to become chief executive of Hong Kong after failing to drum up enough support to proceed to the next stage.
Ms Ip announced she would quit the race after failing to secure the 150 nominations from the city's electoral committee members needed to enter the final selection by the 1,194-strong committee. This is the second time the pro-establishment politician has stood for chief executive, having failed in her first attempt in 2012 after not gaining sufficient nominations.
"I think I failed to get in again because of the limitation of our system. Our election committee has only 1,194 votes, so when you have four candidates basically from the pro-establishment camp I have been squeezed out," Ms Ip said.
Former Hong Kong chief secretary Carrie Lam submitted 579 nominations yesterday and was accepted as a candidate in the election later this month. The city's former financial secretary John Tsang and former judge Woo Kwok-hing also had their nominations accepted.
The winner will need to gain 50 per cent of the election committee's vote at the end of this month.

Investing Wisely: Mental Health Expansion
Mental health and physical health are both important parts of overall health and wellness. Keeping a healthy mind is often not as simple as finding joy or happiness. Often, medical help is needed.
Thousands of Ohioans are living with a mental health condition. As a Patient-Centered Medical Home, North Coast Health treats the whole individual – mind and body – to ensure that each patient can work towards optimal health. Through monies first raised at Celebration of Caring 2015 Fund-a-Need, we have been able to expand our behavioral health counseling through the hire of a part-time Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervision Designation (LPCC-S).
In the past, North Coast Health has been able to offer our uninsured patients counseling services through a social worker. The addition of a LPCC-S allows us to not only expand to full counseling and offer appointments to both the uninsured and insured, but also to accept master's candidate counseling intern students to expand our capacity. North Coast Health has been able to "multiply" the dollars raised to provide more accessibility and services to ensure we are able to treat both mind and body in the same setting.
As a result of your support, North Coast Health is meeting a community need by removing barriers; making it possible for individuals to access needed mental health services; making it possible for us to care for the whole person.
80% of North Coast Health patients live with one chronic disease
54% live with two or more chronic conditions
41% of North Coast Health patients live with depression or anxiety
People living with chronic disease face a 25% higher risk of depression

Trade-in your Zune
Noticed an offer in Sunday's BestBuy ad, about trading in various types of hardware. Mentioned were Zunes and iPods. Checked it out on their web site and found I could get a $37 BB gift card for a 30G Zune with cable and charger. (even the brown one) That seemed pretty decent to me, since with an 8G, an HD and an 80G, the 30s were just collecting dust. I had some old style chargers which were bigger than the Zunes which I wasn't attached to as well, and cables galore.
Process was simple, take them to the store, fill out some paperwork and they gave me a gift card. Who can't use a BestBuy gift card? Trade-in is less if you want a check, and considerably less if the device is engraved. Certainly more convenient than trying to eBay or Craigs list them.
Zunes/iPods aren't all that is eligible.

Many people gravitate toward psychics when they're unhappy with the romance aspect of their lives. They commonly want to know whether a psychic can actually help them find their soul mate or fall in love. Unfortunately, the answer isn't as simple as a yes or no. The following guide can outline the different things a psychic can do for a person's love life.
Clearing Up Past Relationship Baggage
One of the most important things a love psychic can do to help you find a loving partner is point out past baggage and issues you might need to work through. There could be a variety of issues that may be stopping you from finding happiness in love. As people go through their lives and deal with damaging or traumatic issues, some of that trauma stays with them.
Some individuals even have a subconscious issue that they don't even know is there and it can prevent them from feeling truly happy in relationships or from even starting new relationships. Once that baggage is cleared up, you can be free to pursue romantic endeavors.
Learning Life Lessons
Another thing that may be stopping you from finding happiness in love is that you haven't learned important life lessons yet. Men and women often go through cycles designed to teach them lessons or provide experience on a certain topic. Do you fall for the same type of person over and over again or find yourself in the same destructive relationships? It could be that you're not picking up on what's being shown to you, and therefore, you will keep experiencing it until you realize what's going on.
Unfortunately, sometimes people just don't realize what's going on and they might think that they're cursed or doomed to be alone forever. This is not the case; a qualified and compassionate psychic can help you realize those lessons so that you're free to move on and find your true love in life.
Helping You Find That Special Someone
Most people utilize the same methods for finding and meeting new people. For you, this could be the local clubs, bookstores, cafes, etc. What a psychic can do is offer up new ways for you to meet a true love that you might not have thought of. For instance, a woman who typically visits museums and local cultural events was having a difficult time finding a true connection. A psychic told her that she would meet her true love at a sporting event. She found it pretty hard to believe, since she wasn't interested in sports and never attended any sporting events.
A few weeks later, a friend called her up and asked if she wanted two tickets to a local game, as the friend wasn't able to use them. Ready to turn the tickets down, the woman remembered what the psychic had said and took the tickets, asking a friend to attend the game with her. At the game, she sat next to a man and they chatted, laughing about her complete ignorance of the team and even the rules of the game. He asked for her phone number and they began dating, only to be married two years later.
It could be that you're simply not looking in the right place to find the person that's right for you. The insight and knowledge a psychic has to offer can help you realize the perfect places to look, even if some of them may be out of your comfort zone.
Other Ways a Love Psychic Reading Can Help
When approaching a psychic about love or relationships, it's extremely important that you stay open minded. The psychic is going to offer you the knowledge they have and that is not always necessarily what you want to hear. If you're really trying to make it work with one specific person, but that's just not the person for you, it could hurt when you find out that things probably aren't going to work.
However, it's essential to realize that it's better to let go of something that's simply not right and pursue the relationship that will make you completely happy and fulfilled. Psychics can't make you fall in love with someone if it's just not right, and they definitely can't make someone else fall in love with you, no matter how much you might want it. What they can do is show you how to open up avenues and paths that will lead you to a love that is true and uplifting and positive.
In some cases, a psychic love reading can even give you the physical description of a true love or an initial of their name. However, gifted psychics are often hesitant to do so because it could narrow your view and cause you to be closed-minded to other potential true loves. The best way to receive this kind of psychic information is with an open heart and a positive attitude. Trust in yourself and your desire to be happy and the psychic's desire to help you find happiness.

Non-governmental Programs
Chapter 5 Review
Chapter 5 Review
There are a number of sources of disability income benefits; they include both governmental and non-governmental sources. The principal governmental source of disability benefits for those unable to engage in any gainful activity is Social Security. Although providing a safety net for the profoundly disabled, Social Security's stringent definition of disability results in a claims rejection rate of more than 60%. All states offer Workers Compensation programs, and six jurisdictions provide non-occupational disability benefits.
Many disability benefits are employer-related. They may be provided under true group programs or may be association plans, franchise plans or sick-pay plans.
Chapter 5 Review Questions
1. The Social Security definition of disability can be characterized as:
pure own occupation
modified own occupation
limited own occupation
*any occupation
2. Which of the following are requirements for a worker to be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits?
*The individual must have worked in a covered occupation
The individual is currently insured
Both a and b
Neither a nor b
3. Which of the following is a state program providing disability income benefits?
Workers Compensation
Non-occupation Disability program
*Both a and b
Neither a nor b
4. Which of the following benefits would NOT normally be provided under Workers Compensation?
Cash payments
Medical services
*Long term care services
Hospital services
5. Benefit periods of 26 weeks and zero-day elimination periods are generally characteristic of:
franchise group disability plans
*short-term group disability coverage
long-term group disability coverage
individual disability income insurance

Raimund, Ferdinand
Ferdinand Raimund (fĕr´dēnänt rī´mŏŏnt), 1790–1836, Austrian actor and dramatist. From 1817 he was a popular comedian in Vienna, and in 1823 he began to produce his own plays. Raimund wrote fine comedies of Viennese life, among them Der Bauer als Millionär [the peasant millionaire] (1826), Der Verschwender (1833, tr. The Spendthrift, 1949), and Der Alpenkönig und der Menschenfeind (1828, tr. The King of the Alps, 1850). Blending humor with pathos, these plays raised the Viennese folk comedy to a high literary level. Subject to depression, Raimund shot himself at a time when his public favor had temporarily ebbed.

I'm not shy about trying new food, even if I'm not quite as brave as I like to think I am. When I traveled to the Philippines last year it was hard to find authentic Filipino dishes, but we found a few and I definitely tried most of them. I got more adventurous in Vietnam and tried a lot of Pho at restaurants and roadside stands, and other random food items at roadside stands and carts. Sometimes just a rice flour dumpling kind of deal, sometimes a former animal on a stick. So when I travel, I like to try the food. I knew going into this work trip to India that I wasn't a big fan of Indian food. I'd had it a few times in Denver and it always seemed weirdly bland, and wholly undifferentiated from itself. Ordering lamb or chicken or beef with varying degrees of spice always yielded a plate that looked exactly like all the others. (more…)
Dinner: A Capricious Love AffairPosted: January 18, 2012 in Beer & Food, Life As I Know It

I generally love to cook. That is to say: I love to cook when it comes out well and I get to show it off and preferably share with friends and potentially strangers.
I live by myself so a lot of the time cooking just ends up being a race against expiration dates and vegetables that are more soft and more brown than I'd prefer. (more…)
Cultural Cuisine Differences or: The meat tastes funny.Posted: July 6, 2011 in Beer & Food, Travel
When I found out I was going to the Philippines for work for a month (you know, when I went way back in May,) or was at least asked if I'd be interested, one of the things that truly excited me about the possibility was being able to experience and sample some cuisine local to my destination. Food carts, hole in the wall local restaurants, regional dishes of untold popularity whose deliciousness defied all possibility, simple local snacks, you get the idea. Unfortunately what I found was nothing like that at all. The best way I can describe the food in the Philippines is to compare it to an American sign that's been mis-translated into Asian. Now, imagine that sign to be instead a recipe for food. Only it's been slightly mistranslated so you know what it's supposed to mean, but somehow all the proteins taste a little fishy. (more…)
San Miguel — The Local Brew!Posted: May 8, 2011 in Beer & Food, Travel, Uncategorized Rambling
One thing I've been looking forward to about traveling is trying local beer. I've had a few Asian beers before, most notably Tsing Tao. Something with a lion maybe… And I remember thinking before coming to the Philippines that I wanted to try local beer (if they had any) and I was sure it wasn't going to be any good. In walked San Miguel…
A local PH brewery, it's the largest in the Philippines, and apparently has a market share of almost 95%. One of the reasons I was excited to try it is because it's not owned by one of the Big Brew Companies — no Miller Coors, no Inbev, no nothing — it's all San Mig, which means they've got more license to make an actually decent beer, while still being a bit of a macro-brew.
Well, that ability shows in the taste. The San Mig light is probably one of the best light beers I've ever had, but the Pale Pilsen is a beer I'd love to take home. Keep in mind my perspective is slightly colored by the fact that there's not much else as far as beer options go, and it's the first beer I got that was actually COLD. It's been unimaginably hard to get a cold beer here. It's usually served cold, then reaches room temperature within 10 minutes or so.
The San Mig Pale that I ended up falling in a fleeting Filipino love with, pours a very light gold color, with a "lite" beer head, that's got almost no lacing. And for a pale it's got very little hop, and the malt isn't terribly present either — but goddamn it's a cold Filipino beer that doesn't taste half bad. it's definitely got more definition than the light beer, and some of the other varieties, with an actual discernible flavor — but it's still a macro. But at least it's not owned by Inbev and doesn't taste like shite godammit!
San Mig Pale Pilsen, try some today 🙂

In the fall of 2010 I volunteered at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) that happens every fall here in Denver. If you've never been, and even marginally enjoy beer, then I cannot recommend the GABF enough. Even if you don't really like beer it's a good place to go and learn about the world's 2nd most consumed beverage, and find some styles you might actually enjoy. I can't count the number of times I've had someone tell me they don't really like beer to then find out that they've really only ever tried macros or the macro-owned faux craft breweries. (more…)

clean eating, green pea soup, green soup recipe, healthy lifestyle, healthy recipes, healthy soup, raw food, spinach soup, weight loss
Its the dawn of a new season and there's nothing like experimenting with some new combinations of fresh, healthy, organic, green vegetables for a delectable combination of soups! I simply love soups – veg soups, chicken coups, clear soups, green soups and more soups! …and no, I do not mean the pre-packaged and canned soups, only home made fresh soups. I've been looking up some easy to prepare, healthy green soup recipes and found a really interesting spring pea soup recipe here. Ever since, I've been dying to recreate the soup in my own way.
My soup includes one of my favorite green vegetables which is spinach with a touch of a little coconutty flavor ( coconuts are my new favorites and their health benefits are just numerous…be it coconut water, butter or coconut oil). It also includes one of my favorite go-to herbs – mint and thyme! The earthy, mildly pungent flavor of thyme adds in a completely new twist to this green delish delight.
I used a vegetable stock pack that contains carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes, spices and garlic. All the ingredients are organic and low sodium. If you like preparing your own home made vegetable stock, awesome! The vegetables and spices mentioned above make for a great combination in terms of health and taste.
We loved this soup and served it with some multi grain toasts topped with garlic paste. Simple, delicious and so full of health. This soup made for a great early supper and our bodies sure embraced the nutrients!
Here's what you need:
(Serves 2)
2 cups of fresh frozen peas
1 cup spinach
1 cup vegetable stock
1 cup water
1 tsp garlic paste
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1-2 stems of organic thyme (any other herb of your choice)
Salt to taste
1 tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp chilli powder (optional)
2 tbsp coconut oil (1 tbsp extra)
Here's what you do:
1) Take a pan and add 2 tbsp of coconut oil and add onions. Add garlic paste and sauté the onions until tender (cook on medium heat for about 5-7 mins).
2) Add vegetable stock and water and wait till the mixture comes to a boil.
3) Add in the peas. Let it cook for about 2-3 mins till they are soft and then add in the spinach and the thyme stems. Let the mixture cook for another 2-3 mins.
4) Add salt, pepper, paprika/chilli powder and mint leaves and mix well. Let the flavors blend together. Carefully take out the thyme stems using a spatula and pull out the leaves. (The leaves would have become soft and easy to pull out by now. The stems can be thrown away).
5) Add the mixture into a blender and add 1 tbsp of coconut oil. ( You can skip the oil if you aren't a fan of the coconutty flavor).
6) Blend for about a minute till the mixture is thick and creamy. Taste the mixture to adjust for the spices and salt.
7) Serve and enjoy !!
Do let me know how it went for you guys.
Keep healthy…..

America's Car And Driver is reporting the penchant for premium automotive brands to add niche models may be on the wane – but sadly coupe and convertible models head the 'To Be Jettisoned' lists.
Quoting BMW's sales and marketing boss Ian Robertson and Mercedes-Benz chief Dieter Zetsche, the American publication claims a cull is underway.
He added that - notwithstanding the success of the 4 Series coupe and convertible (pictured below) – BMW had struggled with convertibles. "The segment that is not really progressing is the roadster segment," Mr Robertson revealed. "It never really recovered after 2008, and it never picked up in Asia. Therefore we're working with Toyota on a platform to try to gain some economies of scale."
Speculation points to BMW's version of that joint-venture sports car being called the Z5.
What has been successful for BMW is the four-door Gran Coupe models which reflects similar sentiments at Mercedes-Benz.
"The expansion into China and other emerging markets (has provided) huge opportunities for sedans, but they did not take up these specialty cars," Dr Zetsche explained to journalists at the Geneva Motor Show. "Which makes the business case for these vehicles less easy."
Dr Zetsche said the specialty cars – coupes and convertibles – were always niche cars.
He added 'Benz will always offer two-door models. But the reality is the proliferation of different models will be reduced.
The Mercedes-Benz lineup currently includes coupe and cabriolet versions of the C-Class, E-Class and S-Class as well as the SLK and SL roadsters and the AMG GT in both coupe and convertible.

When entrepreneurs like you start thinking about starting a small or family-owned business, there are some things to do, even before you begin writing a business plan. You should do a:
- Feasibility study, and
- Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis
Basically, these tools help you figure out if your business idea is "viable," that is, can actually make it? Is it worth your and your investors' time and money to try to open?
These studies are not the same a business plan. That plan details how your business will be run, by whom, and how it will make money, etc. There's no sense in writing a business plan for a business that can't succeed, right?
However, once completed, you can use a lot of the information from your feasibility study and SWOT when writing the business plan.
Feasibility Study
There are several parts to a feasibility study. For each part you need to be able to answer tough questions about the business. Because of this, entrepreneurs often hire consultants, attorneys or other professionals to help with it.
This may the easiest part of the study for you. Here, you need to give as much detail as possible about what your business will make or sell. You should also outline how the business will be organized and who will run it. You can fill-in the details later in the organization and management section.
The Market
Here you explain who you think will buy your products or services, that is, who's your "target" market? How big is the market, and do you think the market will get bigger or smaller in the future? Can you improve your product or service later, or come up with something new, so you can increase the size of your target market over time?
You also should explain how your customers will get your goods. For example, will they walk in and buy, or order over the phone or internet?
Will your business be competing with another company? If so, what makes your product unique or different enough for customers to choose your product over the competition? You'll also need to provide an estimate or "projection" of your sales for at least the first several months the business is open, and for the first year, if possible.
Unless you covered it all in the "Description" part of the analysis, you should describe any other technical details about your product or service. Try to use everyday language so investors and others can understand it. Also, include any tests you've done or plan to do help make sure the product or service works like it's supposed to.
The technology portion also has to explain things like:
- The size of the office, building or plant needed to house the business
- Any raw materials you need - like paper, steel, computer chips or hamburger buns - and who will provide those materials
- The types of transportation needed for you to get your product to the public and receive raw materials and whether they're available in the area where the business will be located
- The availability of power and utilities in the area - gas, electric, water and telephone service
Money is a big factor to many new small businesses. How much money do you need to get started and keep running? There are start-up costs, like the cost of this feasibility study and advertising the business's grand opening, just to name a few. You may need to buy or lease equipment, machinery, office furniture and maybe office space or a building.
Do you have cash to invest, or are you hoping to finance all of this? Your feasibility report needs to explain where you're going to get the money needed.
Organization and Management
In the organization and management section you need to give details about the how the business will be organized. For instance, are you thinking of forming a sole proprietorship and work alone, or are you thinking of a corporation?
Along with that, you need to explain all the positions or jobs in the business, what those jobs are responsible for, and who's going to fill those positions.
A SWOT analysis and a feasibility study involve many of the same things. Again, the idea is to determine the "viability" or chances of success of the business.
Here you identify what's special about your business or idea that will lead to its success. For example, strengths may be:
- A completely new product or service, or a product or service already available to your customers but with a new twist or improvement
- Experienced and business-wise management and staff, or people in leadership positions who are known to and respected by the public and other businesses
- Access to all of the resources and raw materials you need
- Solid financing or investments in place and ready to go forward
When identifying strengths, you need to focus on the things unique to your particular business, it's inner-workings.
These are, of course, the opposite of your strengths, and they also deal with your business's inner-workings. Inexperienced staff and management, little or no financing, and a lack of raw materials and resources needed for the business are good examples. Other weaknesses may be:
- High costs of production, which means high prices for your customers
- A product or service that's not new or innovative
If you identify your weaknesses early you may be able to avoid them, or even turn them into strengths.
These are the things outside your business that may help the business succeed, such as:
- Weak competition for your product or service in your target market and in the geographic area where you'll do business
- An increased or growing market for the product or service you're selling
- Advances in technology that may make it easier for you to make or sell your product or improve on it
These are the opposites of opportunities, such as:
- Stiff competition in your target market and geographic area
- The business is located in an area that's hard for customers to reach or in an area the public doesn't feel "safe" visiting
- Changes in the law that may make it more costly to do business, such as new environmental or zoning laws
- Changes in your target market. For example, what might happen to your office supply business if suddenly numerous companies in your area plan to shut down or move to another city or county where they won't be taxed as much?
Draw Conclusions
Because of the overlap, you probably don't have to complete both a feasibility study and SWOT analysis, but it doesn't hurt, either. If you choose to do only one, make sure it covers everything, though. You should be able to use this information to draw the ultimate conclusion: Should you go forward with business? Is this business "viable?"
If you can answer, "Yes," congratulations! Now, it's time to get to work on your business plan.
Questions for Your Attorney
- If I show my feasibility study to a bank to secure some financing, can the bank share it with other business people or investors without my permission?
- I have a great idea for a new product. How can I make sure it really is something new and protect it from being copied by other businesses?
- I showed a friend my feasibility and SWOT studies and I just found out she's opening a new business in another state using my idea. Is there anyway I can stop her?

I'm writing a book and I'm calling it "Momsense" (like nonsense? get it?) It's a collection all of those things that we do and say as mom's that make no sense except to other mom's.
Today, another mom gave me a perfect one "Tell my kid if he hurts himself I will beat the shit outta him!" I won't give names on the grounds that these mom's may some day come to their senses and not want to be branded for the rest of their lives, but I will give first initials so those of us who are proud of these convoluted thoughts and actions can take credit where credit is due. This first one is credited to A. and a fine specimen of Momsense it is.
Please! You know what I am talking about. Add your Momsenses to the comments below and I promise to give you all the credit in the world. At least you will have my admiration because it is not easy being a mom. And it makes us crazy sometimes. And when it makes us crazy, the best we can do is find others to enjoy the crazy with us!

A ceiling fan might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to the smart home, but there are perks to an automated fan. Adding voice controls, schedules and even IFTTT recipes to a ceiling fan creates a more convenient smart home and a more comfortable living environment. The problem? Smart fans are expensive. Both Hunter and Big Ass Fans offer Alexa and Nest compatible models, starting at $300 and $550 respectively. That's where Olibra's Bond device comes in. This $99 disc smartens your remote-controlled ceiling fan. With the ability to control up to six fans with one unit, the Bond is a useful, cost-effective way to pick up the slack where your fans or finances left off.
The Bond device is the flagship product for its parent company, Olibra. The Bond smartens ceiling fans by acquiring the signal from the device's original infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF) remote. Ceiling fan remote controls come in both IR or RF varieties, but most are RF. If you do have an IR remote control, you'll need to be sure the Bond is placed so it has a clear line of sight to the fan. I didn't find that to be an issue, since the Bond is a relatively small, black device that fits on most tables and shelves. My disappointment here is the device's color. It would be nice if the Bond came in options like white or gray, since it will be sitting out in the open.
The Bond works with Amazon Alexa devices and the Google Home ($99 at Walmart), so you can ask your voice assistant of choice to control your smartened ceiling fan. The Bond app is available for iOS and Android devices, but the Bond itself doesn't work with HomeKit or Siri.
Download the app and create an account to get started. Follow in-app instructions to connect the Bond to your Wi-Fi. Next, you'll pair your device's original remote with the Bond by pairing through the Bond app with step-by-step instructions. The Bond's LED light ring uses different color indicators for each step. From there, the app asks you to identify which function of the remote you are pairing and allows you to test the new function in the app. Once you've repeated this process for each function of your original remote, you're all set.
Connecting your newly smart ceiling fan with Alexa requires downloading the Bond skill for Alexa and logging into your Bond account. The same is true for Google Home. Your fan should be recognized by the name you assigned it during the Bond setup. Voice control with both the Google Assistant and Alexa were responsive and easy to configure. You won't need to include a "tell Bond to…" phrase with either assistant. A simple "turn on the fan" phrase after the assistant's wake word is all you need.
