Finally, we reached the last post for my Autumn in Korea trip! Like my Hong Kong trip, I would be sharing with you my South Korea Itinerary. I'll show you how to do it in 4D3N and how it can be managed under PHP15,000. Yes, that's right – under PHP15000. This would be a mid-level travel guide – private rooms, private bathrooms, paid attractions, and all that. I would try to be as detailed as I could, and at the bottom of this post, you could get my detailed 5D4N Seoul, South Korea itinerary FOR FREE.
My friend and her family arrived in Seoul on my second day there so I had to change accommodation that'll fit all of us comfortably. This time, I decided that we try out Airbnb. It definitely helped our decision that there's a lot of affordable options and we get PHP1000/USD25 discount then. You can also get $40 off your first trip by signing up here. Anyway, we ended up renting this 3 rooms, 2 toilets apartment in Namyeong area for three days. We ended up paying PHP11000 all-in for the entire stay! I think it was pretty reasonable.
Be it hostel students, office-goers or even a group of friends celebrating a birday, food delivery services in Hong Kong offer you a with a platter of options. However, let me assure that they are not always as piping hot and delicious as they are advertised to be. Ranging from high-quality to not, food delivery services have to battle against time, quality maintenance, traffic and harsh weather conditions to deliver food to your doorstep or office. Hence, customers may have to face some blunders now and then. Let's compare the stories of some food delivery biggies – Foodpanda, Deliveroo and UberEats.
I know, I know. I promote DIY tours and even share my itineraries around to help you plan your own like it's my business. So you're probably like, "Do you even go on packaged tours?!!!" As a matter of fact, yes. Yes, I do. I usually go to two packaged tours per year. My Bohol, Ilocos and Baler trips were package tours and both were a blast!
There's definitely a lot of things I consider before I decide to sign up for a tour. Like, a loooooot. But, summary is: If it's local travel, I will most likely book a packaged tour. If it's international, I will most likely DIY it.
I was supposed to Airbnb my way through South Korea, but it's cheaper to stay in a hostel when there's just a few of you in a group. There were supposed to be three of us on our first day but one cancelled and then there's just two left. I was also kind of panicky on where we'll be staying as it's just a few weeks until the trip at this point. I scoured through Agoda looking through the affordable hostel options that meet all my requirements, and I ended up with 24 Guest House Seoul Station.

John Stamos is an all-around handsome guy who doesn't seem to age and only gets more handsome by the day. But let's stop and remember that he lived through the 80s and didn't escape the wacky hairstyles from that era. Proof is in Stamos' epic throwback photo from his prom.
John Stamos just made our day. I mean ... it's so ... oh my goodness that hair! That suit! That look on his face!
No one survived the 80s without at least one photo like this. This look was all the rage back then and while it's hard to believe that John Stamos is 52 years old, he lived through some seriously insane fashion times.

That feathered hair is so amazing. I'd love to see more throwback photos from John on Instagram. Maybe they could incorporate them in those yogurt commercials he does. Maybe Rob Lowe (another man in his early 50s who doesn't seem to age) can share his prom photos from the same time and we can compare 80s hotness.
Yes, I still find him cute. Then. Now. It's John Stamos! A living vampire!
More From The Stir: 'Full House' Star Confesses to Getting Wasted & 'Sleeping With' John Stamos
The man who so famously played Uncle Jesse claims he was "lame" and "dorky" in high school is confusing us a little. Because even though we can laugh at this photo for years to come, this was what cool looked like back then. He's got the hair, the slick suit, the girl, and that look on his face. No matter what, we hope he continues with more #tbts. Have mercy!

Lightning's Stralman could return to lineup
Defenseman skated Monday, may play in Game 2 of conference final against Penguinsby Tom Gulitti @tomgulittinhl / NHL.com Staff Writer
PITTSBURGH -- Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Anton Stralman could return to the lineup for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Consol Energy Center on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).
Stralman, who hasn't played since March 25 because of a fractured left fibula, was on the ice for the optional morning skate Monday after practicing Sunday.
He did not speak to the media Monday and coach Jon Cooper was unavailable for comment after practice.
Cooper had said Sunday that Stralman getting closer to a return.
"Stralman is definitely day-to-day now and that's great news because he is an extremely important player on our team," Cooper said. "So it's kind of going to be all [up] to [Stralman] here now, how he's feeling."
Stralman last spoke to the media following the morning skate prior to Game 1 on Friday. He didn't rule out playing in Game 2 but said then it was too early to tell.
He had 34 points in 73 games during the regular season and was second on the Lightning with an average ice time of 22:04 per game.
Stralman's return would be a boost for Tampa Bay, especially with 21-year-old backup goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy expected to make his second career start in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in place of the injured Ben Bishop.
Cooper said Sunday that Bishop, a 2016 Vezina Trophy finalist, was day-to-day with a lower-body injury sustained in the first period of Game 1. Bishop didn't skate Monday, and was seen working out off the ice with the training staff after saying he went on the ice briefly Sunday.

Freshman Advisors Interested in More Than Class Schedules
Michael Moghtader, associate professor of writing, rhetoric and technical communication, was recognized by the National Academic Advising Association for outstanding advising.
By Paula Polglase, JMU Public Affairs
"What concerns you most during your first year at James Madison University? Is it time management? Living in the residence hall? Doing well academically? Fitting in? Procrastination? The amount of freedom?"
JMU's freshman advisors want to know.
JMU has developed a unique freshman advising program based on the developmental theory of advising. JMU advisors are concerned about more than just scheduling classes, they advise the whole person. In fact, the questions about concerns facing new students are but a few of the far-reaching queries posed by JMU advisors.
Psychology Associate Professor Kenneth Barron starts his summer advising sessions by asking students why they came to college. Michael Moghtader, associate professor of writing, rhetoric and technical communication, wants to know who influenced the student's expectations about what the college experience should be like.
The National Academic Advising Association has recognized Barron and Moghtader as outstanding advising award winners.
A Unique Approach
According to Lee Ward, director of Career and Academic Planning, developmental advising in itself is not unique, but because of the time it takes it is not usually applied to a university with 18,000 students.
Another unique factor�JMU employs both professional and faculty advisors.
Fourteen CAP staff members advise the 25 percent of freshmen who have not declared an academic major. Because of their dual role as academic and career counselors they are able to offer students guidance in exploring majors that relate to their career interests.
Faculty advisors are assigned to the 75 percent of freshmen who come in with a declared major. Ward's department recruits and trains freshman advisors to be experts in both academic and student-life matters.
"We get so many unique partners on the campus together, I think that one of the other things that makes freshman advising thrive is it really requires us to be interdisciplinary and cross-campus connected," said Barron.
Role of the Advisor
Freshman advisors help students transition to college by providing advice on academic planning and information on JMU resources. In order to guide a student's academic choices with regard to long-term academic and career goals they have to first get to know the student.
Incoming freshmen meet with their advisors in a small group and one-on-one during summer orientation. They continue the relationship established in the summer through e-mail, Blackboard and face-to-face conversations. Freshman advisors serve their advisees through February of their freshman year when they are assigned an advisor in their major.
Commenting about the initial summer meeting Moghtader said, "I never let a student leave without them knowing that I have a sense of who they are."
Rosemary Grant, a junior who is majoring in English and media arts and design, said, "Looking back, I think Dr. M dealt with my over-exuberance to change majors in a way that eventually led me to making the right decision for me. In my head, double majoring in English and health sciences sounded like a great idea. When I demanded quick answers, he remained patient and insisted that we look into the details of my new major choices."
"By advising first, I can provide students the essential context to appreciate what college can be and how they can take full advantage of getting the most out of it while they are here."�Dr. Kevin Barron
Philosophy of Advising
Barron, who has been a freshman advisor for 10 years, keeps a bumper sticker on his door that he says sums up his philosophy on advising. It reads, "Advising is Teaching." He knows that students are anxious to schedule their classes but insists that getting to know the student first is time well spent for both advisor and advisee.
Barron says, "By advising first, I can provide students the essential context to appreciate what college can be and how they can take full advantage of getting the most out of it while they are here."
Moghtader, in his fifth year of freshman advising, sees himself as a transition worker, someone to guide the student through the many resources JMU has to offer. "A good advisor is less a source of knowledge as much as a good researcher of information that will help students navigate the complexities of university rules and regulations."
Both advisors say the ultimate goal is help their advisees succeed in their first year and grow into adults who will develop skills to find their own answers.

Today's topic is: "What advice do you wish you would have received before having kids?"
Boy, oh boy. That's a big one! I've thought a lot about this over the last three years (my girls are now three and two), so much so that I've actually considered writing a book about what they don't tell you before you have children. Who knows, maybe someday I will write that book, but in the meantime, I will try to organize my thoughts enough to answer this seemingly simple, yet monumentally complex, question. Now, where to begin?
Before I launch into lamenting about the trials and tribulations of parenting, I must go on record as saying that I am very happy I have my children. I love them immensely and I am reminded every day of how they enrich my life.
That said, parenting is hard. Really hard sometimes. And unlike my smartphone, children don't come with a user's manual and live tech support. In fact, after my children were already here, I've had several major revelations (which I probably should have had before they arrived). The biggest of which is…
Remember that terrible boss you had once? Remember how you realized you weren't cut out for food service? Remember how you worked long hours on a project and someone else took the credit (and the promotion)? When I was faced with these situations, I quit and found a better job. After all, my mantra is "life's too short to be unhappy!"
But, when you're a parent, your boss, at least for the first several years, is your child. (You can be one of those women who says you won't let having a baby change your life. You'll still go out with your friends, you'll still do your hair and makeup every morning, you'll still go to the gym… Maybe, but chances are, you'll be wrong.)
When that little wiggly bundle arrives, you quickly realize that your only goal for the next day, week, month, year, decade… is to do everything you can to *keep it alive*. So when she cries in the middle of the night, you drag your sleep-deprived keister out of bed and feed her, again. When she gets cranky and fussy, you rock her to sleep. When she insists on reading the same idiotic book for the fifth time in a row, you sit down, take a deep breath, and dang it, you read it again! Because that's your job (and even if you want to, you can't quit now).
So while I am eagerly looking forward to the day when I can pee with the bathroom door closed again or sit with a cup of tea and read a good book from cover-to-cover, I try to remind myself every day that this period in their lives is fleeting. Someday soon they will be off at college and the old farmhouse will once again be silent. There will be plenty of time for reading then.

Another school year begins
In 24 hours, I'll be nearing the end of my first day of Fall Semester 2015. Goodness, I hope it goes well. I've been dreading this semester for many reasons.

Here's my feeble wish for this semester.

Today marks the 25th World AIDS Day. It is such a simple thing, remembering and acting to insure that more people do not have to die of AIDS, but far too many people are unaware–still! This morning as I turned on my television, I realized that more people will be concerned with Auburn's chances at making the BCS Championship game than finding a proper cure for AIDS.
On this day, I borrow this photo created by Dr. Craig Gingrich-Philbrook of Southern Illinois University. The number, 41,027, is the number of people who died before Ronald Reagan spoke about the "gay cancer," calling it by its proper name. Gingrich-Philbrook's scratches on a skillet are deep and human, a desperate (?) call to survive political machines that work against her citizen's well-being. This photo has always been a powerful image for me, for so many reasons, and so appropriate on this day.

I Want You… to Stop Military Sexual Assault
The Department of Defense reports that in 2012, military sexual assaults rose to over 26,000– an increase of one-third since 2010. This comes on the heels of the disgusting irony that Lt. Col. Jeffrey Kruskinski, who himself led the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, was charged with sexual battery on Sunday. This disgusts me. In all of the talk of honor, valor, and pride in the United States military, the glut of sexual assaults, reported and unreported, is a blight of arrogance, privilege, and dishonor. This February, the documentary The Invisible War vied for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards, putting too many faces to these crimes. This issue of military assault cannot be ignored.
Please contact your Representatives in Congress and the Senate to help enact measures like the Ruth Moore Act of 2013 to forge a solution to this scourge on the dignity of our servicemen and women.

Day 92 - Where is the Love?
Our Site Supervisor has told us that they need to finish off the piping/drainage on the side of the garage and until they do this the garage can't be finished. This is holding up everything else. Without the garage up they can't start putting the blue board up and so the list goes on. Fingers crossed this gets sorted this week.
Communication at Metricon headquarters has also ceased...We should be getting weekly updates from our Site Supervisor but that doesn't seem to be happening - unless we contact him. This is getting a little frustrating considering we have heaps of questions and queries that we want answers on. In saying that our Site Supervisor has been great so far....when we get a chance to chat with him. In fact I was lucky enough to speak to him on Friday so I believe we will be catching up this week. Finally.
Such a huge volume builder like Metricon I guess it is to be expected that our Site Supervisor has more than one home to look after, keeping him very busy. That being said this one home is our home and therefore I expect a lot from Metricon. Not only in the final product but also in the service along the way.
I am sure many of you will agree with me that signing a Building Contract is a big step. For us it was years in the making, so I guess when it comes to expecting a detailed phone call once a week with answers to our questions - it's not a lot to ask or expect. I also know that there will be some weeks that go by which there is nothing major to update us on, however we have a list of 17+ queries sitting with Metricon at the moment we're waiting to get answers to.
This is not a personal attack on our Site Supervisor at all. Like I said he is doing the best he can and we appreciate his honesty and help along the way. This is more of an understanding that I think Metricon need to work at.
If the Site Supervisor is too busy then we need someone else to contact us and let us know where the build is at. Either way we should be getting this phone call.
It would be great to hear if anyone else has had the same types of issues a long the way.
4 comments:
True..I am with you. We had the same issue in regards to customer service. They failed to give us weekly updates.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for your comment. I have mentioned ths to Metricon so it will be interesting to see what happens....watch this space.
In our case, our SS does not voluntarily call to update us on the build; however, when we call him, he has been prompt to answer our call stratightaway or when left with a messge or a missed call, he calls back on the same day. Fortunately, we got the same SS as the one who build the display home, and so far, it has been a good experience.ReplyDelete
Also, our Sales Consultant and her office is only 200 metres from our build site and she regularly provides support. SHe has been our anchor.
How is your Construction Support Consultant? She should regularly be able to provide you an update you deserve. In our case, the Construction support person at least liaises with our SS if she cannot provide an answer.
Best wishes.
Hi, our Support Consultant is also on the ball and very reliable. Although she would prefer we go through the Site Supervisor for most of our queries. Since writing this post we have actually changed Site Supervisors and so far we have seen a lot more activity at the house. Looks like Metricon are trying to catch up.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments and I hope to hear more about your build too.

The closure of an independent clothes retailer is the latest change to be made at Lancaster's Market Gate Shopping Centre.
Staff were informed just a few days before the closure on Saturday, resulting in five redundancies, according to one worker.
Market Gate Shopping Centre, which was acquired by Monaco based Roubaix Group Ltd for £22m back in September, has also just appointed mall income and marketing specialists Shoppertainment, the Lancaster Guardian can reveal.
The introduction of a new Primark store within the centre, which is expected to open in the autumn, has resulted in a number of changes over recent months.
A new walkway connecting Sir Simon's Arcade and Primark means that around one third of the back of the Blue Inc shop space was required.
A spokesman for Roubaix Group said that this was always known to traders, and that Blue Inc was served its notice on October 14, which required the company to vacate the premises on January 6.
But a member of staff, who did not wish to be named, said the news came as a shock.
He added: "We were informed on December 27 that we were going to be out of work.
"It was a shock and it came out of the blue.
We were doing well, and I understand Blue Inc are looking for alternative premises in Lancaster, but couldn't find anywhere."
A spokesman for Blue Inc said the company did not wish to comment on the matter.
The Roubaix Group spokesman said the company was working with Blue Inc to try to find a solution.
Menswear retailer Duffer, and a pound shop, also closed due to the Primark work, and Rastellis has now relocated into the former Toni and Guy shop within the shopping centre.
Meanwhile Lancaster BID manager Liz Hickingbotham said that intitial feedback on Christmas and new year trading in Lancaster was "quite strong".
She added: "The streets had a great atmosphere and were busy and lively with lots of shoppers enjoying the performers that BID provided.
"The Christmas trees and lights looked lovely for the season and the post-Christmas sales figures will hopefully also be very strong."

There is a report in L'Equipe today, about how little playing time Yohan Cabaye is getting at PSG, since his £20M signing from Newcastle United last month.
Yohan Cabaye – at PSG
PSG hae played six games since Yohan arrived in Paris and he has stated only one game against Valenciennes and has a total of 180 minutes of time on the pitch, which averages out at 30 minutes a game.
But when you join a new club, especially a big one, you don't expect to go straight into the starting line-up, and it takes time to settle in.
But the worry for Cabaye is that PSG have Italian Internationals Thiago Motta and Marco Verratti, and French star Blaise Matuidi, a former Newcastle United target as his current midfield competition.
And there's also 18 year-old French U21 International Adrien Rabiot, who is coming through like a steam train this season at the French club.
The L'Equipe article surmises that it may be difficult for Cabaye to be a starter at the upcoming World Cup for France in Brazil, although he's almost a certainty to make the squad.
But PSG are also expected to strengthen their central midfield even further this summer, with news they want Juventus French International Paul Pogba, and the former Manchester United youngster turns 21 a week tomorrow, and has been outstanding in Italy.
This is what Cabaye said in Le Parisien on Thursday about the situation:
"I try to show every time I go, I can play more – I do not think about it"
Maybe Loic Remy can think about the fact that if he does join a top club in the summer, he will not necessarily be first choice and will not get as many starts as he would if he stayed on Tyneside, where he is already a hero.
Just a thought.
What do you think?

if we can avoid the media getting on our backs over this pardew incident i think their might be a chance of getting 6th place
everton H-win
fulham A -win
palace H-win
southampton A-possible draw
united H-win or draw
stoke A-maybe a draw
swansea H-win
arsenal A-loss
cardiff H- win
liverpool A- loss
Rabiot is outstanding! A future star already in the making! Cabs will get playing time, but like demba ba, will have to have to settle with bit parts. Hopefully he can cement his place in the starting XI but he has some stiff competition and with the names flying around about who they want to bring in in the summer, he may struggle.
Was it the right call going to Psg? I'd say yes, however it was the wrong time I feel.
Isn't Matuadi out of contract at the end of the season?
Motta is getting on a bit as well now, can't see him being any different to the players we bought in Jan taking half a season to bed in
0 mins ago
Well can defiantly see 2 CL teams in the FA Cup final so really hope the club aren't looking at the season as over
To of been on the shocking run of form we've been on and still be only 2 points of 7th says to me we still have a very good chance and in all honesty have a very decent run in
As for being labelled a thug, please, you see worse grabbing a take away on a Saturday night ffs, I'm sure he's embarrassed as well he should be, but for Christs sake people are bleating on like he's a bad guy straight out of Eastenders!!!
Comparing Pardew, or any other manager for that matter, to the great Sir Bobby Robson is utterly ridiculous
Wor Bobby was a one of a kind, the last gentleman in football
Ludicrous comment
Hope he does well at PSG but when you go to a big club, unless you are one of the world's best players you get limited playing time, especially when they have others in your position already playing well.
Even if he was starting nothing stops them going out in the summer and buying an even better player in his position….it's the risk and reward of playing for a top top club.
Have to say all things considered, I'm feeling optimistic about the Cashley unwanted Europa League positions mate. Would be great to see him off by securing a European berth.
As far as Pardew and Eastenders go, are you thinking a Dirty Den sort of role. I can see that, you might have something there pal!

TADS— @25 —— Was brought up in walker mate . you know walker do you ? gated area ??????
i was referring to SBR as a lot of people seem to get mixed up between passion and violence . my point is that is so easy to put what he done down to passion . rubbish , why the passion at that stage of the game??? 3-1 up , cruising, no provocation – push out of the way if anything , team playing well , then the passion took over for whatever reason so he nutted him . passion ?? your having a laugh man , he wanted it ,., that is a thug
Ha qualification would be chunky's worst nightmare!
What more does he have to do! He employed JFK to sabotage any squad strengthening and we're still within touching distance he must be doing his pieces!
Given the extreme thuggish ness on display i was thinking he could be one of Mitchell's long lost brothers
Now they've cleaned up the footage a bit in pretty sure when he attacks Meyler you can hear him sneer "have that you sl*g, stay out the Queen Vic or i'll kneecap ya"
Yes i do know walker, which makes your opinion even more unbelievable
No provocation? He's in his technical area, there player has no right to enter the oppositions technical area let alone shove a member of the opposing team, twice, whilst giving a load of verbal
And yes using SBR is plain lunacy, yes he was passionate but still one of a kind
Beermonkey @23 – no, we throw new players in at the deep end because if they don't play the moment they arrive, our impatient fans start complaining that 1. Pardew doesn't know what he's doing 2. What's the point in buying players if we won't play them 3. They have to be better than the rubbish (any name will do) we already have. 4. (No 1 again etc etc etc).
Not a fan of Pardew, never have been throughout his career, but if he get's us in to Europe and p*sses of fat lad in the process his stock will go up with me.
A reasonable punishment for his East end thuggery would be banned for remainder of season, would certainly fit the crime and put it to bed.
I've got this naggin feeling that when he gobbed of at Pellegrini he thought he was Dot Cotton and she'd shrunk his shirts in the Laundrette!
He needs to be careful or he'll end up in the friggin canal mate! Danny Dyer will be top boy in that manor.

This is the ideal starter greenhouse, in a brand new limited edition colour called Pastel Sage - It includes a matching Pastel sage aluminium base, toughened safety glass, PVC bar capping, a louvre window and an automatic roof vent
The Simplicity Classic has better features such as quality door wheels which have a turned brass centre with ball bearings for longer life and smooth running.
Box section corner bars, gutters and ridge ensure good performance in high winds. Many customers also prefer the Classic over the Halls Popular because it has better quality vents, door wheels, draught excluders and quality stainless steel band clips to hold the glass in.
It also includes the bar capping system which eliminates clips completely from your greenhouse- Glass will then be held in along it's full length with matching PVC capping- providing a far neater finish and superior strength in windy conditions.
Please note that we are INCLUDING the aluminium base in the price sometimes retailers price the base as an optional extra but most customers need the base as it removes the need for a brick plinth. just sit the greenhouse straight onto slabs or soil (soil anchors included add the concrete anchoring kit for slabs or concrete)
Q. With full sheet toughened glass, if I have extra louvres will I need to cut the glass to make them fit?
A. No, you won't have to do that. We automatically adjust the toughened glass for you, it is quite often the case that extra louvres and vents are added. You will have the correct glass delivered.

This year's Superbowl was historic on two accounts:
1. It is the first Superbowl to have ever been won in overtime 2. It will be known as the Superbowl that brought Brand Activism into the mainstream
What Is Brand Activism?Simply put—it's when a brand decides to take a definitive stance on a societal issue and bring it front and center into its messaging or value proposition. And it's not totally new—one of the most well known examples of Brand Activism is P&G's #Likeagirl campaign which artfully brought the societal issue if gender equality into its core message of empowerment. Brand activism is part art, part science and part sociology. When done right, it aligns the brand and company's values with the values of consumers. When done wrong—it's heavy handed, forced, contrived or disconnected from how the company and brand functions.
When Should a Brand Take a Stance?A complex question to answer and it's a different answer for different brands. Some brands will look to Brand Activism as a way to remain or obtain relevancy with consumers and audiences. Others will do it because it is in line with either the company's or brand's stated values. And yet others may have a direct stake in the issue.
84 Lumber for example (a brand most people have never heard of) is in the midst of a recruiting campaign and logically who and how they hire is an issue likely on their minds:
"Under owner Maggie Hardy Magerko, the daughter of founder Joe Hardy, 84 Lumber currently operates more that 250 stores across the U.S. and it's planning to expand further by putting up new outlets on the West Coast.
Sunday's Super Bowl ad comes as the company is in the middle of a recruitment campaign."
Source: Fortune
But there may be more than just employment at stake—from 84 Lumber's Website:
Brand Activism When Done Right Means Both Living and Speaking a Brand's Values One can make the case that what 84 Lumber is doing is using a platform and compelling storytelling that supports the values which are true to the company. It took a chance to communicate those values on such a large stage and as a result—has the attention and awareness of a broader audience. Is this what the brand hoped to achieve? Likely—but there may be deeper foundational forces at play.
Brand Activism in a Politically Charged ClimateGiven recent events regarding Brexit and the election of Donald Trump in the U.S.—the world is debating with itself. Individuals are questioning traditional institutions such as government and media and an air of uncertainty remains constant. In this world, brands are beginning to become more vocal around the issues they know their consumers think about and in the next four years at minimum, as brands look to fill the trust gap left by government and media—Brand Activism will become part of how they are built and maintained.

Having made our way back home from the evening's wedding festivities, I made it back to the home of the bride's parents. With the bride now spending her first night at their new home, I shotgunned her bed for the night in her former room.
Beside the room I slept was the room her very pregnant sister and her husband. Now unfortunately, due to the couple glasses of wine I consumed in the celebrations, I did not have a restful sleep. Two to four glasses of wine are enough to make me merry, but not enough to put me in to a deep sleep.
I must have tossed and turned for most of the night and probably only settled down in the early hours of the morning.
A morning surprise
As I emerged from her room in the morning for breakfast, the mother of bride shared with me that her daughter who slept adjacent to my room had given birth to a healthy baby girl in the house last night while we slept.
My jaw dropped. No one in the house other than the husband knew she had given birth; none of the family heard her while she was in labour.
In fact her husband at some point while looking for a place in the house for her wife to give birth entered my room at some point of the night to find the room was already occupied. Even the couch was already taken by a sleeping brother in law.
So introducing to you Maci, barely a couple of hours old.
No room at the Inn
As I look back at the events that occurred in the early hours of the morning, I am ever so slightly at wonder of how the events remind me of how our Lord entered the world.
The world was not prepared and barely in anticipation to receive the gift of Christ when He came in to the world. God's people were looking out for a political king to bring them to freedom, and not a Saviour who would free them from their sins. The world was sleeping, unaware of the miracle and gift that God was about to give. The world had no room for the Mary to bring forth the gift that God had for us, not a single inn had room to take her in; there was no room for Jesus to enter our world. Worse still, there was very little room in our hearts for Jesus when He came in to our world.
God gave us His Son as the most precious gift to mankind in a time where God's people were not receptive or perceptive of the Salvation that was coming to them. God's people had their own expectations, ideals and vision of what kind of Messiah God was going to send, and either in there doubt or false expectation, failed to prepare for the coming of their Salvation, King and Messiah.
Yet God gives us good gifts when we're not ready to receive, He is a missionary God who goes in to hostile environments where He knows people will reject Him. God gives us good gifts when we're expecting something else.
God does not wait for you to have room in your heart to come in.
God gives us good gifts when we're not ready to receive. God gives us good gifts when we're expecting something else. God gives us good gifts when we're hostile towards Him, He does not wait for us to have room in our hearts for Him in order to do or give us something good. Our God is a God who gives us good gifts that we might receive, He does not wait until that indefinite day that we get over a certain bar, reach a certain standard to give us something good. God gives us good things when we are at our worse. He gives us good gifts while we sleep. God is the initiator.
Our God is a God of grace. Our God is the the embodiment of the Gospel. Our God gives us good things that we're not always ready for that His gifts in love might soften our hearts and stir our affections for Him, that we might respond
By God's grace, little Maci did not enter this world with the same hostility that Jesus faced. She was much more welcome. Above Maci is taking her first bath in the kitchen sink. I'll leave you with a couple more shots of her first 12 hours of life outside the womb.

Re: Lott Addison
Bob, Lott Addison also lived in Polk county Tn. His daughter Judah Hulda Addison married a James Walkingstick and is my direct descendant. Lott lived in Franklin county GA. around the same time my John Carrol Payne did and at that time it was Cherokee land. John C. Payne was 1/4 Cherokee from his mother, Nancy Payne. Nancy's dad was Thomas Trader Payne from Virginia. Thomas married a full blood Cherokee before his move and brought all his kids, mixed and white. John C. Payne married a 1/4 Cherokee named Susan Jane Walls. Her mother was a Bigby whose family went on the Trail Of Tears. Nancy's grandmother was a daughter of Nathan Hicks and a full blood Cherokee woman. I have a lot ot mixed blood on both sides of my family. Dad and mom. My dad was considered a full blood. John Carrol Payne was on my mom's side. My dad was Edward Walkingstick on the 1924 Baker Roll. His dad was Owen Walkingstick, from the Rogers and Lott family line.

My Responsibility as a Forecaster and Futurist
Posted in Future, Futurist, Healthcare Futurist
Recently, I had a client who requested I come to help their organization think about the "deep future."
After disabusing them of the wisdom of thinking about the "deep future" (looking out just a few years is hard enough), I responded that I could still help them meet their goals but I needed to do three things first:
#1: Ensure that they are seeing the present clearly. It never ceases to amaze me how many organizations are so obsessed with short-term goals and projects that don't see or understand how their business has already changed today.
#2: Fully comprehend the trends shaping tomorrow. It is not enough to understand the technological trends (e.g. artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, genomics, and the Internet of Things (sensors), etc.), individuals must consider how these technological trends will also shift and influence demographic, cultural and societal norms.
#3: Open people's mind to new "impossibilities." To do this effectively requires a real unwillingness to let go of past assumptions, habits and beliefs about how the world of tomorrow can and will operate.
Here are three questions/exercises I use to cleave open people's minds:
A. Do You Yield to New Information?
B. A Futurist's First Lesson.
C. The Answer in a Single Piece of Folded Paper.
Only once these three steps have been taken can a fruitful discussion of the deep future take place.

The Blog Chain question this week is:
What are your guilty pleasure books/genres?
My guilty pleasure reading is historical fiction...which I admit doesn't sound like it should be a guilty pleasure. It's far from dull, though. I once described historical fiction as a retelling of "really old gossip" and the juicier the better. Especially anything to do with royal intrigue. There's always murder, adultery, international espionage, and of course pampered royalty who have more power than sense.
I love love love anything by Philippa Gregory.
And I also love any historical fiction that is also a ghost story...here' a recent one I read that was fantastic:
Keep following this topic on the chain and check out Michelle's blog on Monday, or look back at Katrina's post from yesterday.

Somehow, it seems particularly apt that acclaimed Bali-based architect Joost van Grieken's home takes its name from the humble breadfruit tree or "pokok sukun". With its high yields and propensity to thrive in tropical climes, the breadfruit tree is much-loved wherever it grows, from Southeast Asia to Polynesia and Hawaii, ensuring nourishment and shade for all who live in its shadow. It is in tribute to the tree's generous, bountiful nature that Joost built his sprawling home in Bali's cultural heart. "I was living not too far away, in Sayan, near Ubud, and I moved into Villa Sukun in 2009 after a full year of construction," he says. "My previous home, which was along the Ayung River, was a rented one and, of course, an architect always wants to build his own house. And as this home is also located on the banks of the Ayung, you could say, yes, I do follow the path of the sacred river."
Having lived in Indonesia for close to three decades, Joost spent the first eight years working in Jakarta before finally being lured by the gods to share their mystical island home. When asked what initially drew the Delft-trained architect to the archipelago, his reply is succinct but telling: "Adventure," he says, eyes twinkling. "I left Jakarta to come to Bali after the Asian financial crisis hit, thinking I'd give myself a sabbatical but, bit by bit, the projects came."
Now one of the island's foremost architects, Joost's aesthetic touch can be seen in many iconic Balinese villas and commercial spaces while on Malaysian soil, he is known for creating the garden-like haven that local dance legend Datuk Ramli Ibrahim calls home.
Standing on what was once a breadfruit grove in Mambal, Joost's 4,000 sq m estate is still studded with a number of breadfruit trees. The far end of the garden slowly tapers off into the Ayung and, on a clear day, you can just about make out the profile of Bali's mother mountain, Gunung Agung, in the distance. "The built-up of Villa Sukun is probably just around 10%," Joost observes. "And that includes the main house, guest pavilion and staff quarters. It's nice to have a big garden and, besides, I like to live in nature."
An effusive host, he graciously beckons us to sit down for a bit, accompanied by cups of wonderful tea – a gift from an appreciative client in China – paired with delicious strawberry and chocolate tarts bought from Monsieur Spoon, a charming patisserie that's located next to Ubud's famous Bebek Bengil ("dirty duck") restaurant.
Exploring the main house, it is clear that Joost subscribes very much to the Bawa-esque philosophy of letting the outdoors in and vice versa. Tropical breeze wafts through the entire home and natural, unobtrusive materials make up the villa's backbone, although, every so often, a pop of colour – in the form of a painted wall, perhaps – breaks the earth-inspired palette. Walking the estate, it's easy to come across several, in deep Chinese red or Klein blue, or to be more precise, the same shade of blue that adorns Penang's famous Cheong Fatt Tze mansion. "It is to compensate for the predominantly grey palette and the rocks and the overwhelmingly green landscape," Joost muses.
The floor on the ground level is cool, polished concrete and is matched with exposed concrete ceilings while several walls are clad in river stones sourced from Karangasem in East Bali. Upstairs, meanwhile, offers solid merbau wood floors to step on. "It's very low maintenance," Joost points out. "I don't live big and all I need is a simple budget. The merbau is strong, the concrete equally so … it's practical but it's also beautiful."
Daily life at Villa Sukun is also inextricably connected to the garden, which, Joost acknowledges, "is absolutely perfect … for 11 months of the year, except during the rainy season when the winds blow the rain in and I have to hide upstairs!" Both the ground and first level of Villa Sukun also have little decks that make wonderful hideaways for reading. "If I practised yoga, it would be perfect too, overlooking the palms and coconut trees," he winks.
Cane grass is cleverly planted all around the slopes of the property to keep snakes away. "The grass blades are sharp and can cut," says Joost. "Only the monkeys are a real nuisance." And if you wander to the fringes of the garden, chances are you will hear the happy screams and yells of rafters far below who sail the Ayung in search of white-water adventure. And although guests hardly need reminding that they are in magical Bali, umbul-umbul stand proudly in the garden, the colourful pole-festooned pennants fluttering in the wind, and are changed every time the sun bleaches all their colour away.
The only thing that draws Joost away from his idyllic retreat these days is work – and there is plenty of it, from projects in Amed on Bali's east to Lombok, where he did the Qunci Villas, and, of course, his own base of Ubud where he has done the entirety of the world-renowned Locavore group, including the flagship restaurant, Locavore To Go, and Nusantara, chefs Eelke Plasmeijer and Ray Adriansyah's latest dining room dedicated to the region's cuisines and flavours.
"My style is, I guess, modern tropical," says the architect with a modest shrug. "Of course, I must have a Western layout and functionality but I love local materials and techniques." A fact that is evident simply by looking around our immediate surroundings. Local decorative elements and artistic souvenirs brought home from working "adventures" include shrine houses from Sumba, standing at attention on the patio next to a massive Sumbawa stone meeting table that weighs at least a ton. A particularly striking ider-ider, a ceremonial wall hanging, gifted by a friend and measuring 10m in length, adorns one wall of the living room. A feature wall in the dining room is made from sanded palem pakis (fern palm) trunks. "It's a plant that loves shade and the hills," says Joost. "We tried to plant a few in the garden but it's too hot for it." Still celebrating the culture and heritage of Indonesia, an eye-catching rooster roof finial from Tanah Toraja adorns a doorway while numerous carvings of Hanuman and Dewi, as well as terracotta pieces from Majapahit, Java, jostle for the attention of guests.
Taking pride of place on the home's first level is Joost's beautiful study, which overlooks surrounding rice fields, adorned with traditional Balinese Kamasan art and ikat from Timor, as well as framed Kalimantan tikar (woven mats). One of the few things that immediately give away the homeowner's provenance is a Gerrit Rietveld-inspired chair, made from teak. "The original pieces are worth a fortune now and they used to be made from orange crates," volunteers Joost. "Today, it is a design icon and all the big museums have them as part of their collections." Another Dutch touch, albeit intangible, would be the beautiful music of pianist Rian de Waal that plays from hidden Bose speakers.
The few other Western pieces in Villa Sukun include an antique bowl used for mixing dough from Spain's Valencia region, although Joost's cupboards are primarily filled with fine and delicately beautiful Chinese porcelain, particularly from the acclaimed ceramic city of Jingdezhen. We then proceed to lunch, which features home-cooked Balinese dishes like bakwan jagung and sambal matah, accompanied by fragrant white rice, eaten off a suar wood table. "I love cooking and entertaining," Joost smiles. And although potted orchids are abundant around the villa, what catches the eye at lunch are sprouted pinang tree seeds, which Joost has cleverly bunched together to create an artistically verdant arrangement. "When I first came to Indonesia, all I had were two suitcases filled with clothes, books and CDs," he muses. "Everything you see has been collected along the way." It looks like life has indeed been a rich and fulfilling adventure.

Product Description▼▲
What's Up is a flexible middle-school curriculum workbook using illustrations, stories, and interactive activities to help kids (ages 10 to 14) understand why the gospel really is good news. A practical application of Klumpenhower's book, Show Them Jesus, it answers the real questions of identity and purpose that begin to unfold in middle-school hearts and minds.Revealing God's love, forgiveness, and power to change, What's Up helps students understand that the gospel is all about God making us into who he meant us to be all along. As they learn how to lean wholly (and happily) on Jesus through these formative years, their lives are changed from the inside out.
The Teacher Guide offers easy-to-understand instructions and notes, helps, and directions to make teaching the gospel to children clear and simple. Requires little work outside of the classroom or teaching setting.

how original is it? The last vaio phone was identical to Panasonic Eluga U2. Vaio fans ironically joked the greatest designed box, as box was the only difference from Panasonic.
the design is good. the name is too long max 2 words worth more vaio phone/number/alphabet.
diaster at bottom - "buttons" are on screen - why all the empty space on the bottom?
I hope they drop the 'biz' before international release. Just "VAIO Phone" will do please.:) can't wait !
Agree, it looks like XPERIA P! Wish they could design really attractive phones just like their laptops...
Anonymous, 04 Feb 2016VIAO's 1st offering is this... and that too for around INR 30,000??? Really disappointed!!Simple, they just claim this is aimed for 'business users', and they will have all the right to hike the price. I mean, if the user could afford to venture into business, whether it is small scale or a major entity, I am pretty sure, they could already afford this
This looks like another Quanta ODM phone with VAIO badge slapped on, just like the Japanese market VAIO Android phone that was widely panned last year.
Wireless only Continuum (due to USB 2.0 connection of this phone) also limits the practicality of the one feature that distinguish Windows 10 phones from Android and iOS rivals.
VAIO please go back to manufacturing only what you were really good at >> "LAPTOPS"
Looks like XPERIA P's advaced clone for me........................
I hope that they will realize that Windows is mistake...
Personally, I think that Blackberry Priv is much better (or maybe the best) option for business users.
Woow looks like it will have continuum support. Nice
VIAO's 1st offering is this... and that too for around INR 30,000??? Really disappointed!!
This is ridiculous Microsoft can license their os to other manufacturers, but still can't update their own users. Wtf?
unlike its laptops the phone itself looks like a low end android phones, really disappointed

I have been knitting or crochet little ducks for nine months now because I was touched by what The Little Yellow Duck Project was set up to do. As the months have gone by I have left ducks in East and West Sussex, Kent, London, Somerset, and Washington State, USA. I have also sent ducks to two other states in America and also to Hertfordshire. It is quite a challenge to leave a duck and not be seen doing it.
I go to a knitting group in Cuckfield each week and we were featured in the Jan-Feb 2015 edition of Cuckfield Life. Do download a pdf copy of the magazine to see all about the group on page 12.
I thought I ought to release some more ducks into Cuckfield to follow up on the article whilst it was still fresh in everybody's mind. Today I released Gideon, Horace and Queenie.
A map of all the ducks that have been registered as found is here. I was thrilled this evening to see that Gideon has already been logged as found (I walked past the tea rooms after knitting group and saw that he had disappeared)...... Great job Cuckfield Tea Rooms. Now waiting to see whether Queenie that I left in the Queens Hall is found and logged and also whether Horace is found in the Church door handle.

Bankslave is a Kenyan graffiti artist, activist and a member of the spray uzi crew with most of his paintings seen in Nairobi and some parts of Europe. He started out painting on canvas before he progressed to spray cans.
Inspired by graffiti pieces he had seen on taxis in Nairobi, he decided to create art that wasn't selfish – the kind of art that is open to everyone and not just to galleries.
He uses his art to inspire youths, aspiring artists and the community at large. His piece are mostly tributes to heroes; both living and dead.
During the 2007 election campaign, in collaboration with some artists, they used art to speak to the people. They used it as a medium to bring to the consciousness of people the wrong doings of politicians and the need for them to make the right decision.
In his words; Artists who do contemporary painting often criticize graffiti. They say it isn't art. To them, we are rivals.
Bankslave hopes to build his brand. He is a fun person and when he is not writing on walls, he is customizing T. shirts.

Here's the Ruscko without rust, following the original paint scheme.
I tried also fixing the interior leather, but it looks... bland. Idk, I'll try to improve it some time. I half-assed did everything halfway through the "rust-free" procedure.
Car still look pretty bright. I'll try toning down the colors later, but if you want to do it yourself, feel free to.
And finally what you really want: the pictures
Have fun
Ruscko Rust Free (Original paint scheme) 1.0
A simple retexture of the Ruscko, following the original paint scheme. Nothing much to say

DeathStar Rico-chet
Judith Goldman
2006 • 120 pp. • $14.00
The writings in Judith Goldman's DeathStar Rico-chet are constructions engaging present events—catastrophes—the origin of which is being defined, in the sense of framed, by the term "tragedy" in current media. Goldman's writings are enactments, not of the events themselves, nor are they descriptions of the events: They are enactments making a present in the speaking (as of Shakespearean, of current media, and of Goldman)—and enactments as thinking reframing being present. Thinking is her constructs, as such experiments. She's made brilliant juxtapositions that may be exactly the same as the languages they were (or not), and that as such don't either iterate or describe events. Rather than trapped in this current time's enclosure, the reader is alert in Goldman's passionate bombardment.
—Leslie Scalapino
It starts us ricocheting across gashed gushes of misInformation—abuses of tragedy hardly past—and ends on cashed plans for the accidental future; but this poetry's trajectory is cocked to startle us out of the compulsory wake over and over. Fact and factitiousness, set into counter-docudramas gorgeous despite their revolt against their very substance, wrangle an archival arsenal out of present conditions. Colliding and courting illegibility, they co-conspire against the rhetorical flights of a fetter. Out of Deathstar games, this contrascrapbook's starling architecture stockfiles each "blast/And blazEquotE" into concussive refrains, contradicting the hollowing effects of abounding poststructural citation as they bolster our outlook against the floating wreckage of "protection."
—Jennifer Scappettone
"In this violent and deeply accusatory book the cause and the effect are the restoration of our historical context as crime. The crime being murder. Deathstar/Ricohcet: The canceled check of a civilization. Somehow I don't think that Pound thought his investment in poetry as "news that stays new" would be returned for lack of funds. The implications of Goldman's work are immense."
—Rod Smith
"Like a Situationist armed with a Search Engine, Judith Goldman provides a homeopathic cure for a polis drowning in news feeds that starve instead of inform. Listen, O, Citizens!"
—Charles Bernstein

TWO men died in a compensation fuelled booze binge after a London-based paper wrongly identified one of them as "Ipswich Ripper" suspect Steve Wright.
Two days before Christmas, Gareth Huw Roberts, 47, and Ian Stedham, 43, spoke to the Daily Post after Mr Roberts' picture was published on the front page of a London newspaper.
It claimed he was wanted for the murders of five prostitutes.
The confusion arose because the newspaper used a picture taken 20 years ago showing a group of stewards on the QE2, which included both Mr Roberts and Steve Wright.
Father-of-two Mr Roberts, originally from St Asaph, Denbighshire, received #10,000 in compensation from the newspaper.
Weeks later both men's bodies were found in a maisonette they shared at 41, Y Ddol flats, West End, Pwllheli. They had drunk themselves to death.
The owner of the flat, John White, 52, had gone on holiday to Indonesia.
An inquest at Pwllheli heard police were called to the flat on February 6 after the owner of a Londis store had not seen them for five days.
PC Goronwy Williams said Mr Roberts' body was found on his side "lying on the settee" while Mr Stedham's body was found in the bathroom upstairs, partially-clothed "wedged between the wall and the toilet seat".
Empty bottles of vodka and orange were lying around the flat.
North West Wales coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones said: "It appears Mr Roberts had come into some money and the impression is that he and Mr Stedham were in the process of drinking their way through that money."
Home Office pathologist Dr Brian Rogers said both men had "alcohol problems" and frequented the Londis store nearby.
Mr Stedham, unemployed, had recently separated from his wife Maureen, who lives in Nefyn, but still kept in touch with her and their three daughters, Tara, 21, Louise, 20, and Leanne, 13.
Mrs Stedham said: "He had always been a wonderful father to the girls, and they really thought a lot of him."
Dr Rogers said: "Mr Stedham had given up alcohol but had gone back on the drink quite heavily."
He said both men's livers were "grossly enlarged" and "fatty".
Mr Stedham's pancreas was "scarred" showing "chronic pancreatitis".
Dr Rogers said: "Mr Stedham probably died after Mr Roberts, possibly a day or so afterwards. As to why the alarm was not raised, it is not known."
Dr Rogers said possibly Mr Stedham had become unwell, had taken to his bed and possibly fallen unconscious in the toilet, unaware of Mr Roberts' condition.
Toxicology tests showed Mr Stedham had 299 mg of alcohol in his blood, compared to the legal driving limit of 80, while Mr Roberts had 415mg.
Dr Rogers said: "Mr Roberts had been wrongly identified by one of the major newspapers and as a result he had received quite a lot of compensation, #10,000. It is believed Mr Roberts had drawn #6-7,000 out of the bank just prior to Mr White going on holiday.
"Bundles of #3,000 to #4,000 in cash were found in Mr Roberts' pockets. The fact that that was there is a good indication that he wasn't assaulted and robbed."
Mr Jones said both men had died as a result of the abuse of alcohol, complicated by medical problems.

Midwest Ag Supply will open a store in Aberdeen the week of April 11. The newly constructed building is at 920 S. U.S. Highway 281 next to SoDak Sport and Bait.
Jordan Holt is the store manager. Aberdeen's store will be the second for Midwest Ag Supply, which has operated in Watertown for 20 years. Midwest Ag Supply carries high quality feed and animal health products from suppliers such as Hubbard Feeds, Stockmaster Mineral, Pfizer, Bayer, Boeringer Ingelheim and Sullivan Show Supplies.
Holt said the company will introduce itself at two promotional events in April. Representatives will be at the Aberdeen Livestock Sale Barn on April 18 and at the Hub City Livestock Sale Barn on April 27. Midwest Ag Supply plans a grand opening in May.
