One of the things we've really done with this camera is look at the demographic and the audience and a lot of these young kids are very big into social networking, going to social networking sites. So when we designed this camera, we took a lot of that into account. So some of the feature sets, what we'd want to call kind of face it, beam it, blog it. Looking into some of the technology, so face detection, which allows these youngsters to capture the face when they're at parties and auto-focusing. Beam it, which allows them to beam pictures to one another with the camera. And then blog mode which allows them to take images that they take with the camera, reduce them in size, and then just send them out onto the Internet." The 7 megapixel cameras have a 3 times optical zoom and a 2 and a half inch LCD screen. FujiFilm hopes to coax Generation Y to abandon the cameras in their cell phones…for the Z10fd.

Three Days and Counting!!!
Why is it that time goes by so fast these days?
I just noticed that in three days I will have been a member of Etsy for one whole year!
Where has the time gone?
I MUST do something in honour of the day . . . but what?
(Why is it so hard to think these days?)
Any ideas out there?
Help me decide what to do to mark the occasion, please.
I am thinking about having a sale, or perhaps a give-away.
Tick-tock, tick-tock . . .

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Technology stocks closed lower Monday as the sector joined in a broad market retreat on Wall Street that was spurred by growing concerns about oil prices and Iran's latest rhetoric about its nuclear-enrichment program.
The Nasdaq Composite Index $COMPQ home to many leading tech stocks, fell more than 16 points to end the day at 2,147.75, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -1.43% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index MSH, -2.94% also closed lower.
Stocks across the board fell as oil prices appeared headed north, and Iran said it wouldn't suspend it nuclear-enrichment program in accordance with a United Nations resolutions. See full story.
Tech stocks joined in the retreat. Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, -1.26% fell 63 cents to $34.89, and Dell Inc. DELL gave up 54 cents, to close at $21.62, after both companies gave divergent earnings reports last week. See full story.
Other losses came from International Business Machines Corp., Texas Instruments Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc., Oracle Corp. and Intel Corp.
One of the few gains came from SanDisk Corp. SNDK which rose 22 cents a share to close at $51.39. The company released what it said is the world's largest-capacity flash-memory MP3 player, the Sansa e280. The device comes with 8 gigabytes of flash-memory storage that can hold up to 2,000 songs. SanDisk is marketing the Sansa as a rival to Apple Computer Inc.'s AAPL, -3.20% iPod Nano.
Gateway Inc. GTW also had a upbeat day, rising 8 cents, or 5.5%, to close at $1.53 after hedge fund Harbert Management Corp. said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it has acquired 10% of Gateway's stock. Gateway officials said they met with Harbert over the weekend to discuss options for the company's direction.

So the marvellous documentary ANVIL! - The Story of Anvil is about to arrive on US screens. The film has been out in the UK for a while now, and I'd like to tell the people in the US that are wondering whether or not to see it that their tickets will be well worth the money. The film is wonderful, and there is a great deal to be enjoyed in it whether you're a metal fan or not. Lips and Robb are fast becoming heroes to many people through this film. Now that people are waking up to the band and their music, the dream that is fought so hard for during the film is coming true. By going to see it, you are actively helping to create a new ending for the film- you are making the dreams of these people come true. In all honesty, it is deserved.
I've seen the film twice on the big screen, bought the CD (the one you see made in the movie) from the band and even bought the book, for the simple reason that by the end of the film you are genuinely on the side of the band. I felt compelled to help out and show my appreciation the easiest way- by checking out more of the story and the music itself. I wasn't disappointed. The album 'This is Thirteen' is an excellent album of no-frills, old school heavy metal, evoking the classics. The reason is evokes the genre's classics is because these guys were one of the bands that created the genre we love in the first place.
The book tells the full story of the band's early years up to the present day, and the voices of Robb and Lips are plainly audible when you read it. I recommend you see the film first, then buy the book, as it really works well as a companion piece. Some of the asides in the book are unforgettable, and the whole thing is very much on a par with the film itself. The two items work so well together.
I truly, honestly hope that the Anvil movie opens up new avenues for the band. As a fan of rock and metal, the film is enlightening and fun, but that goes for anyone as a general viewer too. In my capacity as a journalist for a national rock magazine I get to interview musicians and review their albums, but seeing this film has opened my mind to the concept of rock stars being normal people even further than it already was. These two guys are genuinely likeable, their story is equal parts hilarious and compelling, and it is honestly the most moving metal documentary I have ever seen. Please, please go and see it, and you'll realize that for once, the hype is for real.

When I first decided to go natural, I had this idea that I was going to have to buy all these high end hair products for my hair to go back to its natural state.
There are so many natural ingredients that are beneficial to your hair health.
Here are some recipe's to keep your hair strong and moisturized.
Banana-Oatmeal Deep Conditioner
1 Over ripe banana
1/2 Cup of oatmeal*
1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil
1 Tablespoon of Honey
Soak oatmeal in water for 3-5 minutes then blend and strain water leaving enough to make the oatmeal a creamy texture.
Mix evenly so you have a creamy consistency. Apply to damp hair and comb through with your fingers. Once the conditioner is throughout your hair, massage your scalp for 3-5 minutes to increase blood flow to the scalp. This helps your hair take in all the moisture from the conditioner.
After your massage, you can either put your hair in a loose bun or quick twists and wrap it in a plastic cap. Leave in for 40 – 60 minutes.
You can also sit under a hair dryer on low for 30 minutes.
Then rinse and wash as usual.
The only thing I don't like about this deep conditioner is how the pieces of oatmeal tend to stay in your hair so I try to blend the oatmeal until its mostly liquid and rinse thoroughly after use. Other than that, this deep conditioner is great to plump up those curls.
Mayo – Olive Oil Deep Conditioner
1/2 Cup of regular mayonnaise (not light)
Can also use the olive oil mayo (green cap)
1 Egg yolk
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 Tablespoon of castor oil
1 Tablespoon of raw honey
Mix all ingredients evenly, you can give or take with the measurements depending on how much you want and the consistency you want. It can always be stored in a zip lock bag or mason jar and kept in the fridge for later use.
Apply to damp hair in sections and massage through scalp. Wrap hair and leave in for 30 – 45 mins.
Onion Deep Conditioner
1 Small onion
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
1/2 Cup Raw Honey or Agave
Chop onion into smaller pieces and blend. Add coconut oil then honey or agave to your blender. There should be no chunks of anything in your mixture. If the mixture is too watery, you can add some of your favorite deep conditioner or regular conditioner to give it a thicker consistency.
Apply to damp hair in sections and massage through scalp. Wrap hair and leave in for 30 – 40 minutes.
If you feel your scalp start to burn or feel irritated, rinse immediately. It should feel refreshing.
There are so many more natural ingredients you can use as deep conditioners. I try to do one natural deep conditioner every month to keep my curls healthy and flourishing.
I hope this was helpful!

How To Safely Gain Weight
While it's not as common a target as losing weight, there are a significant number of individuals who have weight gain as their objective. The reasons are as varied as the people but could include things like Animal Removal Pros needing to gain weight for a game, needing to put on a few pounds after rehabilitating from an injury or you are merely underweight and have trouble making the scale go up or your Doctor has asked you to gain weight.
Before heading out on your weight gain travel, I would be remiss if I did not encourage you to visit your Dr. for a checkup first. It may be that you are not even underweight. While I'm not a fan of the BMI, underweight is defined as having a BMI under 18.5. (The press plays a significant part in how we view our bodies and it might just be that you are fine in the skin you are in) However, there may be medical reasons why you find it hard to gain weight and your Doctor will be a good place to start. Then let us look at ways to help you put on some pounds.
Gaining weight will normally follow the same formula as shedding weight-but in reverse. If calories in has to be lower than calories out to eliminate weight, then it stands to reason that the reverse of that is going to have the opposite effect–and it will!
It seems simple and all you've got to do is increase your daily allotment of McBurgers right? Well, not so fast. You need to do this thing right and at a healthy way-and slowly. So without further ado, here are some tips to your bag of tricks.
1. Determine how many calories you're taking in now and how many calories you need based on your everyday activity. You can use a fantastic online tool for this. Whatever the number, it represents the number of calories that you need just to maintain the weight that you are at (I know, I finished my sentence with a preposition-I'm crazy like that) Now you know what the number is, you need to raise you r daily caloric intake by, oh, let us begin with a 500 calorie per day increase. When you gain or lose weight or change your activity level or have changes in health then your caloric needs change so always stay updated with what your caloric target is. Food diaries are a great tool, especially at the beginning.
2. Try to eat more often-YEAH!! If you eat 3 meals a day then try adding a few healthy snacks throughout the day.
3. If you do eat your regular meals, raise your portion size. Then have two yogurts instead. The goal is to try to increase your portion sizes with every meal
4. Concentrate on good foods. Whole grain breads are dense and you can cut thick slices and put on your favourite topping like peanut butter, honey, hummus… Mmmmm. When picking veggies pick those that have less water content. Things like cucumbers have a good deal of water so will make you look more complete whilst taking but you take in less calories… you do not need that… you want potatoes, carrots, corn. Same goes for fruit… select the more dense ones like a banana over an orange (dried fruits are great!)
5. Fats are where it's at (My momma said I was always good at rhyming words) Fats are so great because they pack 9 calories per gram while carbohydrates and protein only have 4 the losers. BUT… pick healthy fats. And the good thing is that you can add some of these to everything you consume. Cooking eggs? Spread on some hummus… Using a salad or cereal? You can add healthy fats whenever you sit down to eat. Toss some dried fruit onto a salad or granola. Top your potatoes with oil or cheese or go wild and throw some chili on top of them.
6. Drink your calories. There are a number of healthy meal replacement drinks that are great but why not create your own smoothie? Make it with milk, fruit, honey… whatever… then sprinkle in some seeds. You can also try replacing some of your water consumption with juices or the occasional sport drink.
7. Bear in mind, slow profit is the best. To increase your weight too rapidly only increases the chances that the weight you gain will be from fat mass rather than lean body mass. A gain of approximately one half to one pound per week should be your target.
1. You want to make certain you add some lean muscle and that all your weight gain isn't just from fat. If you include a resistance routine 3 times each week (like body weight exercises or lifting weights) then you are able to get some lean muscle mass and what's even better… the increased workload might even boost your appetite… WIN!! If you would like to gain muscle mass then add in some additional protein to your meals also. Protein intake that is too low may actually make you lose body mass so keep your consumption to a healthy level. Beans, peanuts, chicken, tuna… all good!
2. Avoid extra "cardio" type workouts such as jogging and just concentrate on resistance exercise.
3. Following a workout, have a light snack that includes protein such as an egg on toast, whole wheat crackers with cheese or just a glass of chocolate milk.
4. Incorporate a stretching routine into your day. OK, this in itself won't help you gain weight, but with the extra resistance training, stretching will help keep your body free from pain and keep your body moving properly.
**Tell friends and family what your objectives are so they can be involved and help to encourage you in your goals. Join an online group with other like-minded people so you always have somebody to talk to and bounce ideas off of. Do not discount this-having the correct support is important to anything in life.

A favorite college professor, when asked why programming classes were taught predominantly in C++ instead of Visual Basic, would reply, "C++ is a language for adults." Though perhaps indelicately stated, the thought was not without merit. Not only is C++ inarguably the far more powerful language, but Visual Basic lacks strong typing, and its constructs require extra keystrokes ("End Function", "End While", "End If", etc., instead of a simple "}" and "Dim x As Integer" instead of "int x").
In the .NET application world, C++, though still far the most powerful of the .NET languages, is limited in that it cannot produce a pure managed .NET application compatible with Microsoft's Code Access Security model. So for new .NET-based enterprise applications, C# and VB.Net are the two predominant languages.
As an interesting aside, according to TIOBE's rankings of programming language popularity, C and C++ still outrank C# and Visual Basic by far. These rankings are based on internet searches, so they aren't going to exactly reflect reality, but are interesting nonetheless. One trend that jumps out from their graph, for instance, is that Objective-C (the language used to write software for the iPhone) has had something of a meteoric rise in popularity in the last two years.
Many of the differences between C# and VB.Net amount to "syntactic sugar", meaning that they have no actual impact on the code generated. Modules built from any .NET language are fully reversible using the free .NET Reflector and so we can actually take a look at the code generated and explore some of the VB-specific constructs that go beyond syntactic sugar.
One of the unique constructs in VB is the With block. This statement allows a programmer to access multiple methods or properties for a single object, which may be the result of a function call or complicated lookup. For example, consider this code segment:
.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue
.Checked = False
.Text = "test"
End With
By using the With block instead of writing ListView1.Items(5) three times, we not only save ourselves some typing and make our code more easily maintained, but we also save some nominal amount of processing time because the program only needs to look up the item in question one time. Using the .Net Reflector, we can see that the With block is eliminated by the compiler and a variable is declared in its place.
VB$t_ref$L0.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
VB$t_ref$L0.Checked = false;
VB$t_ref$L0.Text = "test";
VB$t_ref$L0 = null;
This is, I suppose, a slight disappointment – in VB6, the With block only had to dereference the object (meaning, look up its address) one time and now, presumably, it has to do so three times. This is only a minuscule performance hit – hardly a major drawback.
Another interesting experiment is to consider a weakly-typed VB function. When we refer to "strong typing" or "weak typing", we are talking about the degree to which the compiler requires that variables be of the same type versus how much it will "infer" the proper type based on its value. In other words, a weakly typed language distinguishes poorly between the number 5 and the string literal "5". When using VB, you should ALWAYS use the "Option Strict" directive, which makes the language into something more resembling a strongly-typed language. But for purposes of this experiment, we are working with this option off. So consider the function below. If strNum is numeric, this function will execute "properly". (I use the term loosely since the "proper" thing for this to do would be to not compile.)
Return 5 + strNum
End Function
The compiled version of this function is at least somewhat interesting:
return (int)Math.Round((double)(5.0 + Conversions.ToDouble(strNum)));
Even though both the number 5 and the return value are integers, this bit of weak-typed code converts everything to the type double. If you were to call the function AddSomeNum("1.9"), the answer would be 7. This is not what one might expect, particularly if you have a C++ or C# background, as the usual result of converting a double to an integer is truncation, not rounding.
VB.Net may never be a "language for adults", but if you do use it, turning on "Option Strict" is important, not only to prevent run-time errors (if you were to pass the value of "hello" to the above function, it would compile, but generate an error to the user).

About CICOPS scholarships
In 1996, the Technical-Scientific Committee of CICOPS approved a scholarship project aimed at fostering research collaboration between academics from developing countries and the University of Pavia. The scholarships were designed for both junior and senior members of universities in developing countries or members of major research centres and international organizations with specific interests in the field of development studies. Since 1998, the University of Pavia and the Institute for University Studies (EDiSU) have offered about ten scholarships yearly for a four to ten week stay in Pavia, during which time the scholars carry out joint research with professors in the department that hosts them and often hold seminars. As of 2011, about 150 scholarships had been awarded to academics from 40 different countries to carry out research in Pavia.

Warburton / McParland have not signed a single player outside British football (Bouchalakis is the easily explained exception which proves the rule). In fact, they don't seem to even have expressed interest in the summer transfer window for players outside British football. I would be somewhat surprised if they were all of a sudden interested for January on a Dutch guy playing in a position where you don't need additions.
Last year was a disaster, one of the reasons was the influx of foreign players with no real "good" core of British players.
Plus, lots of them were from Scotland. Sure, it's still Britain but they come from a completely different style and quality of football regardless.
I was going to make a random fish comment about Mahi Mahi but didn't want this to tuna into another Davies Trout thread.
Another dutch lad, playing in the same team as Veldwijk. Rumoured £2m release clause but has been punished internally by the club for poor attitude/discipline.
More chance of Pogue Mahone.

The 'poor attitude/discipline' comment suggests he isn't for us. Warburton won't take any shit.

Sancho IV the Brave (1257 or 1258 – 25 April 1295, Toledo) was the king of Castile, León and Galicia from 1284 to his death. He was the second son of Alfonso X and Yolanda, daughter of James I of Aragon.
His elder brother, Ferdinand de la Cerda, died in November 1275, and in 1282 Sancho assembled a coalition of nobles to declare for him against Ferdinand's son Alfonso, then took control of the kingdom when Alfonso X died in 1284. This was all against the wishes of their father, but Sancho was crowned in Toledo nevertheless.
Sancho was recognised and supported by the majority of the nobility and the cities, but a sizable minority opposed him throughout his reign and worked for the heirs of Ferdinand de la Cerda. One of the leaders of the opposition was Don Juan, his uncle, who united to his cause the lord of Vizcaya, Lope Díaz III de Haro. Sancho responded by executing the lord of Vizcaya and incarcerating his uncle. According to the chroniclers, he cemented his hold on power by executing 4,000 other followers of the infante Alfonso, son of Ferdinand de la Cerda, in Badajoz. He executed 400 more in Talavera and much more als in Ávila and Toledo.
Upon dispensing with this opposition, Sancho pardoned his uncle, who was released. Don Juan bided his time before fomenting revolt again: the conflict over Tarifa. He called in the aid of the Marinids of Morocco and besieged Guzmán the Good in his castle (1291). At this siege occurred that famous act of heroism, the innocent death of the son of Guzmán. Tarifa was faithfully defended until Sancho could rescue it and the Marinids retreated to Morocco. The intent of both Don Juan and the king of Morocco (to invade) was foiled.
When James II succeeded to the Crown of Aragon, he endeavoured to bind the two crowns more closely and to unite in the Reconquista. Indeed, both of James predecessors had tried to do likewise. Sancho was also the friend and tutor of Juan Manuel, Lord of Villena.
Just before succumbing to a fatal illness, he appointed his queen, María de Molina, to act as regent for his nine year-old son, Ferdinand IV. He died in 1295 in Toledo.
Sancho married Maria de Molina in 1282 and they had the following children:
He had several bastard children before his marriage as well. by an unknown woman:

|Ft. Thomas, KY
We couldn't find this city on a map
|Tail number
|Accident date
|30 May 2006
|Aircraft type
|Cessna 210N
|Additional details:
On May 30, 2006, at 1809 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 210N, N5212U, piloted by a private pilot, received substantial damage on impact with trees and terrain near Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, while returning to the departure airport. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The Title 14 CFR Part 91 flight was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot was fatally injured. The flight originated from Cincinnati Municipal Airport-Lunken Field (LUK), Cincinnati, Ohio, and was en route to Greene County-Lewis A. Jackson Regional Airport (I19), Dayton, Ohio.
At 1603:15, a caller representing N5212U called Dayton Automated Flight Service Station requesting a briefing for a visual flight rules flight from LUK to I19, "transporting a plane about 1730."
The following is a transcription of transmissions from N5212U, Lunken Local Tower/Ground Control (LC/GC), and Cincinnati Approach Control (CVG APCH):
1754:45, LC/GC, are ya going to be remaining clear of the class b airspace of cincinnati or do you want flight following

1803:47, N5212U, lunken approach i want to return
1703:50, LC/GC, november five two one uniform roger turn right and head southbound toward the airport uh are you alright
There were no further transmissions from N5212U and at 1704, there was no response when LC/GC asked the N5212U to squawk ident if he heard the transmission. LNK ATCT then cleared N5212U to land on either runway, 21R or 21L. but there was no response. At 1707, LC/GC observed one radar hit of a primary target approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport but did not see N5212U visually.
A witness reported that he was driving an automobile when he saw the airplane. He stated that the landing gear was retracted and the propeller was turning, but he could not hear any engine sounds. The airplane was at a "very low" altitude. He observed the airplane banking left to go over the Ohio River. It did not appear to him that the airplane had enough altitude or speed to make it to LUK. The airplane was "sinking" in altitude when it was over the Ohio River.
A second witness stated that she was watering flowers when she heard an airplane engine "revving" and it "sounded very close." She looked up and heard branches breaking and saw a small airplane hit the ground and break apart.
A third witness stated that he saw the airplane flying at "tree top level" and the engine was "skipping and sputtering." He said that the airplane was in a "hard left bank turn" and that he could only see the underside of the airplane to illustrate the degree of turn that the airplane was in. Approximately 3 seconds after he lost sight of the airplane, he heard the airplane impact trees or the ground.
The 1984 Cessna 210N, serial number 21064854, was powered by a Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) IO-520-L19, serial number 577286, engine. The airplane and engine were last inspected during an annual inspection dated February 14, 2006, at a tachometer time of 2196.8.
The pilot held a private pilot certificate with airplane single-engine land, multiengine land limited to center thrust and VFR only, and instrument airplane ratings. He reported a total flight time of 3,900 hours at the time of issuance of his last medical certificate. The pilot received an Authorization for Special Issuance of Medical Certificate dated September 14, 2005.
An autopsy of the pilot was conducted by Northern Kentucky Regional Medical Examiners Office, Fort Thomas, Kentucky, on May 31, 2006.
The FAA Final Forensic Toxicological Fatal Accident Report states:
No carbon monoxide detected in blood No cyanide detected in blood No ethanol detected in vitreous 0.033 (ug/ml, mg/g) diphendyrnamine detected in blood Diphenhydramine detected in liver
A review of the FAA Aerospace Medical Certification Division blue ribbon medical records and the autopsy revealed that the pilot had a number of significant medical conditions, including congestive heart failure, chronic atrial fibrillation, morbid obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, diverticulitis, hypothyroidism, and severe obstructive sleep apnea. He had an installed pacemaker that kept his heart rate at a minimum of 50 beats per minute, and was on a blood thinner to reduce his risk of stroke. He had stopped using the blood thinner without notifying his physician approximately nine months prior to the accident, and had apparently restarted his medication only after having his Special Issuance medical certificate withdrawn by the FAA approximately two months prior to the accident. He had provided evidence of use of the blood thinner to the FAA, and an internal FAA memo dated five days prior to the accident indicates that he was to be recertified. The letter conveying that decision was dated one week following the accident.
The main wreckage of the airplane, which consisted of the fuselage, wings and empennage was resting upright in a grass area located approximately 1 1/2 nautical miles from the approach end of runway 25. The wreckage path was approximately 95 feet in length and oriented on a southerly heading along a grass area behind a house. The northern area of the wreckage path contained a tree about 30 feet in height with broken tree limbs that were about 1-foot diameter. Approximately 75 feet south from the broken tree was the main wreckage and approximately 20 feet south of the main wreckage was the engine. The right trailing edge flap and the landing gear were in the retracted positions.
The engine was attached to a three-bladed propeller assembly. One blade of the propeller assembly was separated at its hub and displayed twisting about the longitudinal axis. The engine was shipped to Teledyne Continental Motors for further examination.
A blue colored liquid consistent with 100 low lead aviation fuel was drained from the gascolator bowl. The bowl was removed and the screen was inspected and did not contain debris.
The flight control cables were inspected from their flight control surface attach point to their respective cockpit controls. Cable separations within the flight control system were consistant with overload and there was no evidence of asymmetric wear on the pulley surfaces.
The ignition key switch was in the "both" position, the master battery switch was "on," and the master alternator split switch was "on" for number 1 and "off" for number 2.
Electrical continuity of both magnetos was confirmed upon rotation.
The Hobbs meter indicated 666.2 and the tachometer indicated 2,250.
The engine underwent a disassembly at Teledyne Continental Motors, Mobile, Alabama due to impact damage. No engine component anomalies were noted that would have precluded operation.
Examination of the autopilot system at Sigma-Tek, Wichita, Kansas, did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded operation.
The Cessna Aircraft Company, the FAA, Teledyne Continental Motors, and Sigma-Tek were parties to the investigation.

ETHICAL fashion isn't all about oversized jumpers and Hessian tunics. It can be cool, stylish and affordable, as new label Trashed Couture proves this summer.
The brand is the brainchild of Liverpool stylist and designer, Sara Li-Chou Han.
Having created four fabulous couture looks for the highly successful Recycle Rechic fashion show last summer, Sara has gone on to create a funky new recycled clothing brand, inspired by the couture styles, but focusing on wearable denim pieces that are as affordable as they are cool.
All the garments are made in Liverpool, and there are no environmentally destroying overseas imports, ensuring a carbon neutral output.
The source materials, all second hand denims sourced from local charity shops and clothes swaps, are unpicked by local fashion students and creatives before being completely reworked by Sara herself, guaranteeing ethically made, sourced and produced garments that make a charitable contribution towards The Red Cross, Animal Welfare and other local causes.
Trashed Couture's services also include reworking vintage garments and those old clothes that you don't want to throw out, but haven't worn for years.
"Many of us have beautiful, high quality garments that have fallen to the back of the wardrobe because the style and cut just isn't up to date," says Sara. "Instead of hiding them in a drawer let Trashed Couture rework them into new and stylish pieces that will instantly bring your wardrobe up to date."
To see for yourself how cool recycled clothing can be just pop into Resurrection on Bold Street and make your way over to the Trashed Couture concession in the womenswear department. There are reworked denim cuffs from £5, to the stunning couture denim gown, a real showpiece at £300.
Sara adds: "I was thrilled that Resurrection is the first shop to stock my brand as they are a fantastic independent fashion boutique, right at the heart of Liverpool's retail district."
For more information or to take advantage of the garment restyling service just drop Sara an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or ring 07964 072 879.

It seems that the second the clock strikes midnight on November 1st the country shifts into official Christmas-mode. Decorations have been out in stores for weeks, Elf memes rule the internet, and Thanksgiving inevitably gets lost in the shuffle. I look forward to the holidays as much as the next person…planning get togethers with family and friends, Bing Crosby, wrapping presents…I'm into it all. However, the holidays can also be SUPER stressful! Pressure to find the perfect gift, bake all the cookies, and make it a magical season for everyone involved. Now, more than ever, it's important to keep self-care in mind!
Self-care is not always easy especially when you feel like you're doing a different balancing act every day, but that doesn't mean it's not important to carve out at least 5 minutes a day just for you! Here are 5 self-care activities you can do in 5 minutes:
- Drink a cup of coffee in peace. Whether you have to get up early or schedule it into your day take 5 minutes to sip a cup of joe, put your phone on silent, and relax.
- Meditate. There are a ton of meditation apps out there that offer timed guided meditation. Make it a night time ritual to support healthy sleep hygiene.
- Call your best friend. In a world of texts, emails, and instastories it's easy to feel less connected to the people you love. Spend 5 minutes on the phone bullshitting with your bestie.
- Take the dog for a walk around the block. Again, silence that damn smart phone. Enjoy nature and fresh air and 5 minutes to yourself.
- Rest your eyes for 5 minutes. Sometimes you just need a freakin' break. Lay down with the lights off and a sound machine on for 5 minutes of quiet.
I make time for self-care every day and encourage everyone else to also. You'll be surprised what a difference it can make! Comment below with what stops you from taking a few minutes to yourself each day.

We have a room on the 20th floor of the Loews de Concorde, just outside one of the city gates, right on the restaurant/shopping boulevard. We have an amazing view of the old city, the wall, the fort and the St. Lawrence. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow. From here we watched fireworks, a "spectacular" stage show and a multimedia projection onto the side of the grain silos beyond old town. It was nearly beyond description, but I will try to give you more detail tomorrow.
It feels very European here, except I can shop with my own Canadian money and don't have worry about any duty. Most people will speak English when they know you don't speak French. The other big thing is maple. Maple trees, maple syrup, maple sugar, maple butter....
Yesterday we had crepes in a streetside terrace in the shadow of Le Chateau Frontenac with live Quebec music. Tonight we dined on a terrace in Il d'Orleans, an island in the St. Lawrence. We had a view of the bridge and Montmorency Falls. I had Ragout. Many restaurants offer Table d'hout: appetizer, main dish, dessert and coffee for a slightly lower price than ordering individually. Tonight my dessert was blueberry sorbet on merengue. I believe I have to quit coffee though. It is not agreeing with me. This is a tragedy.
Oh, the food has been wonderful. We have walked enough to walk it all off, though!

I often fantasize about spending hour after hour stowed away in my little studio, playing with paper, yarn, words.
I keep the door to my studio shut when the children are home. I prize having a space that I can keep just so, where little hands can't rearrange or decorate unless I've given the go ahead. The walls remain pristine, save the one framed spot where both kids imprinted their hands while helping Tim create the walls in my cherished, sacred space.
Two little sets of fingers and palms, pressed in.
There for good.
Thank goodness, there for good.
Before I had babies I knew exactly what kind of mother I'd be: nurturing, gardening, food-storing, cloth-diapering, knitting, home-cooking, blissing. Endlessly patient. Calm. Serene.
Blessedly, some of these things have actually happened.
And yet I struggle with feelings of inadequacy when, for example, reading posts from Amanda Soule of SouleMama.
I want my life to feel how hers looks: on purpose.
Last year, after deciding to embrace dear SouleMama instead of mocking (due to insecurity, of course) her dedication to her dream, I purchased all of her books, which have been sitting pretty on a high-up book shelf in my studio, largely untouched.
Last weekend, after re-purposing our playroom into a projectroom for all (above), I tugged the stack of books from the shelf and displayed them on a side table for perusing. The children and I have taken turns flipping through the slick pages, looking for inspiration.
And then this morning, I sat and started to really read her words. What jumped at me, while reading the introduction to The Creative Family , was the (now, seemingly obvious) notion of creating alongside one's children, of making the very life we daily lead into an excuse for creation and expression.
I'm embarrassed by how lightbulb! it felt when I read this: "Being creative (in whatever capacity) is important: important to me, because I feel myself to be a more complete person when my creativity is expressed; important to my children, who witness adults growing, sharing, and learning creatively; and important to my family, who grow and connect by creating together. It is so important to me that my children not only see this creative pursuit and drive in action, but also that we do it together and that they fully know, love, and embrace their own creative selves." (The Creative Family , page 5)
So often, I'll set the children up with a small project and let them work together, heading to the kitchen to wash dishes, check e-mail, or make a phone call. Rare are the creative moments that involve the three of us, rarer still the ones that include all four of us.
And so it felt a touch revolutionary to think that I could simply decide to extract some of my cherished supplies from my studio - glue and colorful paper scraps and card stock - and set up a morning collage session in the projectroom. Which is precisely what I did today, teaching the children about how to use Mama's glue, how they could create whatever they liked as long as they respected the supplies they were using.
Which, of course, they did. Because that's what happens in these kinds of tales, isn't it.
Thank you, Osiah.
Thank you, Isla.
I'm learning how to be the kind of Mama I always knew I'd be.
Thank you.

Are you experiencing high turnover?
Is your productivity what it should be?
Do you suffer from communication breakdowns?
You may not be hiring the right people…
In a world where there is little competitive advantage in price, product and process, companies who are on the cutting edge utilize the other "P", their People. By focusing on their People and using proven methods to earn and keep the loyalty of their employees, these companies have discovered that they are able to stay ahead of their competition, regardless of the business. This blog, the first in a series of "Loyalty Builders," outlines the methods successful companies like Southwest Airlines use to build loyal employee cultures.
It starts with hiring. Hire for attitude, train for skill. What does it really mean? When a job needs to be filled quickly, most people will be tempted to put a "warm body" in the position to eliminate the strain of the extra work on the rest of the team. This more often than not results in a bad hire, making your problem worse.
During my 15 years with Southwest Airlines, we lived by the concept of "hire for attitude, train for skill." As a result, we had an excellent source of prequalified candidates. Like Southwest Airlines, many successful companies know that building a culture of loyalty stems from the following four hiring considerations:
1) What kind of employee are you looking for? Start by looking at your company's mission statement (if you don't have one, write one). For example, successful customer service companies look for people who have a good sense of humor. They may also look for people who take others' needs into account before their own. Think about why you would want those traits. For example, if you hire someone who is other-oriented, they may be more apt to put themselves in the customer's shoes or be better team players. If you hire someone who possesses a good sense of humor, they may be more adept at handling stressful situations or creating a more team-friendly environment. To determine what kind of traits you are looking for in your organization, begin by reviewing your company's mission statement and values.
2) Where do you find employees that fit your culture? Target your employment ads to appeal to the type of person you want to attract. Want someone with a good sense of humor? Make your ad humorous. Want someone with a caring attitude? Show that on your ad. Don't overlook one of the most important sourcing channels – your own employees. Who better than they know what traits you need? Also, take some time to think about what people outside your organization think about your company as an employer. What "branding" image exists about your company? Walk into a grocery store or around your community with your company uniform and see if anyone makes a comment. Ask people what they think of your company then be prepared to act on what you hear. With a good employer-branding image, your recruiting process will be well on its way. And, by acting on what you hear, it gives you the opportunity to make some changes if necessary.
3) What questions should you ask in the interview? Your interview process should include the Human Resources department (if you have one), someone from the team the person will work with, and a supervisor or leader from that same team. These employees should have received basic interview training prior to being in the interview. Lessons in Loyalty can give you guidelines. This ensures the correct questions are asked and it also ensures your questions don't get you into legal trouble.
Use behavioral interviewing questions. These are questions that ask for specific examples of what the candidate has done, not what they would do. For example, if you have identified humor as one of the traits you are seeking, try probing with the following: "Tell me about a time you used humor to defuse a difficult customer situation." This makes the candidate think of a real scenario which they have experienced versus inventing a "what if." Want to know if they are good team players? Use "Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond for one of your team members." Once you have concluded the interview, make sure all parties involved in the interview review and discuss the candidate and come to a decision as to whether to offer this person the job or not. Remember to always treat the applicant as a customer, no matter what. Many of your applicants probably are customers and you want to keep them as such. Maintain good communication throughout the interview process. Treat them with the same respect, whether they get the job or not. They will remember.
4) Did you make the job offer memorable? Employees never forget the moment they are offered a job they really want. Do you remember where you were when you got the call offering you your current job? Think about what is going through their mind…they can now pay their bills, they can send their family on a vacation, they can start saving money again. You can use that excitement to create a basis for building loyalty from the beginning. Phone calls are much better than letters because this not only gives the company the opportunity to convey their excitement about hiring the new employee, but it also gives the employee an opportunity to share in the excitement and ask questions. You want them to remember that moment. It makes their first interaction as an "employee" an exciting one.
Hiring… the first step towards the creation of a loyal employee. Strive to keep the new hire excitement in all your employees. With this blog series, you will learn the steps to creating and maintaining that excitement. In my next blog I'll give you tips on how to immerse that new hire in your culture right away.

LTO chief's resignation looms over plates, licenses
By Robertzon Ramirez (The Philippine Star) | Updated January 1, 2016 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines - Land Transportation Office (LTO) director Alfonso Tan Jr. will reportedly leave his post this month.
He was allegedly pressured to resign over the shortage of car plates and problems on the issuance of driver's licenses.
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) executive secretary Roberto Cabrera will replace Tan, an LTO source said.
However, LTO spokesman Jason Salvador said there was "nothing official" when asked about Tan's resignation.
Tan recently met with regional directors to inform them of his intention to resign before President Aquino steps down in June, an LTO source told The STAR.
"From what I've known, he is already 99.9 percent determined to resign by next year," the source said. "He bid goodbye to the regional directors."
Tan will resign as he believes that the problems hounding the LTO's project will not be resolved until Aquino steps down, the source said.

The Gulp Away installation symbolically maps the actual routes of canned soft drinks arriving at and departing from Columbia College's campus as a commentary on our consumption driven society. In a tangle of tubing, plastic bags, tires and aluminum cans, participants are invited to "drive" along cluttered walls using provided black paint and textured rollers. A music box version of "Row Row Row Your Boat" fills the auditory space, provoking questions around the fantasy and confusion created by consumerism.
Row Your Boat
During project research I discovered that much of the aluminum to be recycled moves though a system of railways and sea ports from Chicago to Los Angeles and ends up in China. The ingredients, of course, have other trajectories, not to mention the industrial run-off from production and transportation- all of which was were eluded to through graffiti style icons and found object sculptures: corn, waterways, roads, factories, tires, plastic bags… Gulp Away makes the larger world of consumption and waste, of which we are all a part, more transparent.
The project was generously funded by a Critical Encounters grant.
The Big Clean up is documentation of the artist taking down the installation.
The performance of it is yet another commentary on the laborious and dirty job of cleaning up the effects of industrial pollution.

Aquatec DC Linear Current Booster and Pump Controller (APC-30-250)
The APC-30-250 pump controller is designed to interface between a solar PV array and an Aquatec SWP series pump or other submersible pump (well pump) from manufacturers like Sun Pumps or SHURFLO. It is a solid-state power converter that optimizes the pump's performance with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and automatically extends its run time with linear current boosting (LCB) to help the pump get started earlier in the day and work later into the evening when running direct from a solar panel. It also protects the pump from excessive voltage, excessive current, and running dry.
Since this pump controller runs on direct current, it can be powered directly from either a solar panel or a battery (the battery input is activated with a dip switch and the controller will cut out when input voltage goes down to 23.5V to protect the battery). Its NEMA 4 weatherproof enclosure means it can be installed in a wide variety of locations and includes a built-in ground terminal as well as a terminal for a remote tank switch (switch not included).
Aquatec APC-30-250 Pump Controller Features
- Protects against excessive voltage, excessive current, and running dry
- Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) regulates PV array voltage to match pump load
- Linear current boosting (LCB) matches pump load
- Runs on DC (can be powered directly from a solar panel or battery)
- Adjustable power output for flow control
- System power switch
- LED status indicators for system power, pump running, low water, and overcurrent
- Grounding terminal block
- Terminal for remote tank switch
- Terminal for optional remote status LED
- NEMA 4 weatherproof housing
Aquatec APC-30-250 Pump Controller Specs
- 6.55" x 6.13" x 3.75"
- 2 lbs
- Maximum input voltage: 48VDC
- Maximum output voltage: 30VDC
- Maximum load current: 5A

Employers are having a hard time filling jobs in Alberta, which could be another of sign of economic recovery in the province, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
In the third quarter of 2017, there were 33,900 unfilled jobs in Alberta, according to the CFIB Help Wanted Report.
That translates to a 2.2 per cent vacancy rate — the proportion of unfilled jobs relative to all jobs available in the private sector, CFIB said in a release.
In the second quarter of 2017, there were 28,500 unfilled jobs and a job vacancy rate of 1.8 per cent.
Skilled workers left Alberta
Construction companies in Alberta are having an especially hard time finding the skilled workers they need, according to Jason Gillespie, who owns Pathfinder Recruitment Group, an agency specializing in the construction sector.
He says it seems skilled workers left Alberta when the recession hit and are still reluctant to come back.
"A lot of people aren't wanting to take risks right now, because of the risky nature in Alberta, or at least that's the perception," he said.
Gillespie says other in-demand skilled workers include architectural technicians, interior designers, comptrollers, accountants and cost estimators.
CFIB polls its members every quarter to find out how many jobs have been sitting unfilled for at least four months.
Alberta's surplus of almost 34,000 jobs is still only about half of what it was right before the recession.
'Still a long way to go'
CFIB chief economist Ted Mallett says the numbers are an indication that business is picking up again in Alberta.
"But there's still a long way to go before it gets back to where things were in 2014," he said.
Nationally, CFIB says a lack of skilled workers has created a labour shortage of 361,700 jobs — the highest number of unfilled private sector jobs ever recorded in Canada.
The highest job vacancy rate is in British Columbia, where the CFIB survey found there are 60,000 unfilled jobs.
In Ontario there are 149,000 vacant jobs with a vacancy rate of three per cent.
Mallet says across the country, retail, hospitality and construction are experiencing the largest labour shortages.

Too Much Academic Pressure or Just Enough?/
A recent New York Times story highlight a dispute in a public school district in New Jersey over the amount of school pressure the students were under. The dispute was between white families who felt the school was doing a real disservice to the children with the amount of work and competition and the Asian American families who were happy with the competitive spirit and the work load. The Superintendent of schools was caught between the two factions. It is an interesting read in light of the social and emotional learning we are attempting to expand in the Interschools.

The lab is a first of its kind in Northern Virginia; unlike most museums, touching and interacting with exhibits is encouraged so kids can have fun while discovering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Unanet was recognized for its donation to support the Lab and the future Science Museum in Loudoun County, VA which is expected to open in 2020.
This recognition includes the element Uranium in the Periodic Table posted at the Lab entrance. Unanet's sponsorship as a Premium Element Benefactor at the $25,000 level is recognized with a plaque for the Premium Element of Unanet's choice. Fran Craig, Unanet Founder and CEO commented, "We are delighted to support the Children's Science Center with this donation. As a local technology company where all our software development and technical support is local to Northern Virginia, we are passionate about supporting STEM education and employment opportunities. We chose to sponsor Uranium in the Children's Science Center Periodic Table of the Elements. U is for Uranium. U is for Unanet."
About The Children's Science Center
The Children's Science Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to instill a love of learning STEM in all children by providing unique opportunities to explore, create, and be inspired.
Since 2011, we have served thousands of children and their families across the region through mobile education programs at libraries, community centers, schools, and festivals devoted to STEM, all with extremely high demand. With the opening of the Lab, the Center will expand our reach by adding a year-round facility devoted to informal hands-on STEM exploration.
This facility along with our community outreach programs represent the first two phases of our ultimate vision to build a world-class, full-scale children's science museum as part of the Kincora Development in Dulles, Virginia with a projected opening in 2020.
About Unanet:

unfortunately after two weeks of fine weather at this day clouds came up and we had to turn around 50 m below the summit because of the storm. But nevertheless it was a great day at my highest - and most cold - mountain. The snow was very hard but you could walk very safely with crampons
