In the Jewish community where I belong, it seems that my husband and I are the only couple struggling with infertility. I know that it is not true. According to statistics 1 out 8, even 1 out of 6 couples suffer from infertility. Assuming we have 400 frum families in our city, there has to be at least 50-67 couples going through infertility. Yet where are they? Infertility is one of those taboo topics. Also the pain and shame is so intense that it is preferable to remain silent.
I am trying very hard to not let my infertility define who I am. When I go to shul, there are women with small children, a constant reminder of what I do not have. Conversation between them invariably shifts toward their children which is natural. For someone like me, it reinforces my reality that I do not have a child to talk about. My dilemma is to find other couples who are experiencing the same thing as my husband and I, so that we can offer support to each other and do fun and distracting things together.
The time that I have alone, I must step up my efforts to learn Torah. Thankfully I am davening Shacharis consistently and reciting Tehillim. My next step is to incorporate Minchah, take Torah classes, and learn on my own. In the meantime I hope that somehow I will meet a few frum couples who are going through the same journey as my husband and I.

Maintaining your car in the winter
With Winter now officially here, it's important to remember that at this time of the year that you should still be maintaining your car to make sure that everything runs smoothly with it. This is not just related to the body work, but also to other parts of the car as well.
A clear view
One of the most crucial things you should be doing during the winter is making sure that your wiper blades are of satisfactory quality. Over time, the rubber on the blades starts to degrade and when this happens you get the characteristic smearing effect which results in a marked reduction in visibility.
When it comes to changing your blades, you can either do this yourself and buy replacements online or you can go to your local auto store and they'll sell and fit them for you there and then. It's not difficult to change the blades, although they might be a bit stiff to get off depending on how cold it is and how long they've been on the car for. Making this simple change to your car though will not only make the drive safer for you, but for others around you as well.
Take care of your tyres
You should also pay close attention to your tyre pressures during the winter. The road conditions are less than ideal, and if a tyre has lost pressure and in turn becomes under-inflated then it reduces the effectiveness of its grip on the road. In the event that you had to go into a skid, having under-inflated tyres could make the situation a lot more serious.
You can easily monitor your tyre pressures by using a small hand gauge. These come in all shapes and sizes as well as costs. However, it's always better to spend that little bit of extra money to get the most accurate reading possible. You'll then be able to know by how much you need to inflate your tyres by, be it when using a foot pump or a compressor.
You should also make sure that you have the legal tread depth on your tyres. These depths have been based on thousands of safety tests and in the winter you'll need as much grip on the road as possible.
Always be prepared
You'll also want to make sure that you have warm clothes and a blanket packed away in your car. Whilst you may only be planning to use the car for short journeys, you never know what might end up happening and if you're stuck in traffic jams or if your car breaks down, it might take quite a while until you're able to get home.
By having plenty of supplies in your car, you'll be able to stay warm and not have to worry about things like hypothermia. You should also carry a flask in your car so that you've got something hot to drink. This can easily be refilled before you leave work at night time should the worst happen.
Giving the car a soaking
Now it's time to discuss what you can do to protect the exterior of your car during winter. One of the biggest dangers to any car during winter is the amount of salt on the road. Of course, salt on the road is a great thing because it helps to melt the ice away.
However it is also a hindrance to the car since, when driving on a salted road, you will inevitably be collecting this salt and grit in every last crevice of the car. This includes the underside of it which can easily rust, as well as in the brake system, the wheel arches and also your alloy wheels. No matter what the area is, none of this is particularly pleasant for your vehicle, and it's not something that you should be leaving on the car for long periods of time. Doing so can result in corrosion of your vehicle.
To prevent the build up of it, a simple running down of these parts with a hose/jet washer should suffice. For those that don't have access to free flowing water (such as those living in a block of flats), jet washers at petrol stations and some supermarkets would be an ideal work around. Just please never take it to a car wash for the simple fact that it won't get into the hard to reach areas, but it will leave scratches on the paint work as per the nature of these car washes.
You should also be washing the body work periodically since the salt and road dirt laying on it can result in degradation of the paint. The paint on your car is just like your skin; it's porous and you need to wash it, but also protect it.
Adding a real level of protection to the car
It can be really tough to wash your car in the winter, but it's even more crucial to take care of your cars exterior in the winter than it is in the summer, and that means avoiding taking it to those drive through car washes, or those cheap hand wash car washes where the use the cheapest shampoos and the same sponge on every car that comes through. There are many excellent car shampoos, from Autoglym to Meguairs, it all really depends on your own personal preference.
However in the winter months, it's also essential that to help protect the paint work (in part due to the fact that you won't be able to wash it as regularly as you would in the summer) that you use a sealant and maybe a wax over the car after it's been dried off.
The sealant will provide you with a strong barrier between the clear coat in the paintwork of your car and the elements, which will give you a great deal of protection. All sealants are man made and contain numerous polymers designed to help protect the paint work of your car (and can also be used on the spokes of your alloy wheels).
You might however not get the best shine from sealants, which is where a wax would come in handy since this will add extra shine to the paint work. When you're washing, sealing and waxing your car, you should do it like this:
Note that there are two layers of sealant. Sealant is meant to bond either directly to the car, or to its companion polish and wax will in turn bond to the sealant although wax can also bond directly to the paint work/polish. However, if you applied sealant to your car, and then wax, you can't then apply another layer of sealant on top of the wax since the sealant can't absorb itself into the wax, but wax can into the sealant. It's a tad convoluted but its best to know this just now before wasting time and money on incompatible products.

and then I burst into tears while waiting for my salad... and my husband goes what?? what's wrong??? and takes my phone and reads it and says, in typical man style, "oh cool, they went ziplining!" That's really all I can say about that, because there aren't many words.
Here are some pictures from the Komen walk on Sunday...again, don't really have words for this whole group of people who showed up... for me? It all still sort of boggles my mind.
Thank you again to everyone who came out... thank you to those who keep me in their thoughts from afar, thank you for every good wish and prayer that is sent out. Thank you isn't enough, but it's all I can offer right now.

Christmas season in Holland
>> Monday, December 24, 2007
As a part of my Sinterklaas present from Vito's parents, this Saturday we all went to a CASTLE! I'm such a sucker for beautiful castles with mots and mysterious gardens and roaring mighty lions that guard the entrance... aren't you?
The day could not have been more perfect. It was sunny and the cold was crisp, and there was even some frost covering the ground and trees. Perfect weather conditions for visiting a mysterious castle!

Philadelphia: City of Brotherly Thugs
[col. writ. 5/8/08] (c) '08 Mumia Abu-Jamal
The scene is as common as sunlight: cops beating Black men in the streets.
This time, captured on videotape from a hovering helicopter, a malevolent swarm of cops pull occupants from a car, and then proceed to beat the paste out of the men, kicking, punching, and slamming with a club. At least 15 cops are seen in the broadcast beatdown; an average of 5 to 1.
Within moments of its broadcast came the predictable defense: cops in Philly are "stressed."
One need not even await such defenses anymore: just put a tape on speed dial, and repeat.
If ever there was irony, the three car occupants were charged with aggravated assault, and criminal conspiracy.
How much do you wanna bet that the cops, who were caught on film in the midst of aggravated assault, and as they committed the crime in common, criminal conspiracy, are never charged with these crimes -- and probably will never be arrested?
How can I dare make such a claim?
Well, I have plenty of practice.
Most folks flash back to the infamous Rodney King case, where cops in L.A. went into a whipping fit, because King tried to outrun them.
Were they too, stressed?
It also reminded me of the taped beating of Delbert Africa, a MOVE member who was beaten during the August 8th, 1978 police raid on MOVE's home.
These cops, too, were easily acquitted by explicit judicial decree.
If tape doesn't matter, what does?
In the case against three cops who rifle-butted, punched and kicked Delbert, the judge ignored the video tapes, and cited both Delbert's muscularity, and the claim of a Black TV reporter, who claimed she saw him armed --this, despite the tape showing him shirtless, empty hands opened, and naked from the waist up!
Prepare for the all but inevitable whitewash.
Look at that tape again, and you will see something that you'll see if you looked at a gang attack, for these are gangsters, pure and simple.
Only it's the Blue gang.

text: The aorta is the largest artery in the body. To check the size of the aorta and the blood flow through the aorta, a non-invasive imaging procedure called an abdominal aortic ultrasound is completed. This scan uses high-frequency sound waves to look through the skin and muscle of your abdomen to view the aorta. If the aorta increases in width, it forms an aneurysm. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are present in approximately 5% of males over the age of 60 years. Aneurysms are more common in men than women. If undiscovered, rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is the 10th most common cause of death of men in the US and leads to about 15,000 deaths per year.

Want to launder $20 million in illicit drug money? One way is to buy a fancy penthouse in Miami with cash. Secretively purchasing luxury real estate is a popular way for the world's super-criminals to clean their dirty money, reports NPR. "You can spend a lot of money to buy a house, and then you can sell that house a year later," says Heather Lowe, a lawyer with Global Financial Integrity. "And all of a sudden, all of that money is completely clean money." Her group tracks the transfer of illicit money out of developing countries. The Treasury Department has a new approach to improve oversight of such cash sales. When drug kingpins from South America or organized crime figures from places like Russia buy these luxury properties with cash, they set up shell companies to purchase them. So nobody knows who is actually buying that penthouse overlooking Central Park in New York.
"That shell company might be owned by another shell company — might be a Panamanian shell company — which might be owned by a Singapore trust," Lowe says. She adds that it's often easy to conceal who is buying these properties. Now, at least in Manhattan and Miami-Dade County, the government will require that title insurance companies involved in real estate sales get the shell companies to reveal who are the actual owners of the shell companies. The title companies will then report that to the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. That's the plan. But will it work? "Well, that's what we're going to find out through this process," says Michelle Korsmo, the head of the American Land Title Association. She acknowledges that if a major drug kingpin is buying a mansion through a string of shell companies all over the world, that might be a bit much for a title insurance company to figure out.

Replace Your Tires with Low-Rolling-Resistance Rubber
When replacing your tires, ensure your new ones utilize low-rolling-resistance compounds. Most modern family cars and SUVs are thus equipped from the factory, but many consumers are tempted to replace their tires with the cheapest ones that fit, not the original-equipment tire. Rule of thumb: Replace your tires with the same ones that came with the car or with one of the many new low-rolling-resistance aftermarket tires. They can be a touch pricier than their standard-compound counterparts, but they can represent a gain of 1 to 2 mpg.
Slow Down
Slowing to 60 mph in places where you're used to driving 80 sounds about as enticing as volunteering for an IRS audit. We're not advocating a return to the federally imposed 55-mph speed limit, but the truth is that fuel economy drops dramatically at higher speeds due to aerodynamic drag. According to the EPA, for every 5 mph you drive over 60, the resultant hit to your fuel economy is the equivalent of spending an additional 30 cents per gallon.
Chill Out
Sudden bursts of acceleration (a.k.a. "displays of speed," according to most law-enforcement entities) do about as much for your fuel economy as they do for your driving record. Sure, the occasional stoplight drag race can be fun, and yes, it's sometimes easier to power through yellow lights than to screech to a halt. But if such aggressive driving is your MO, you can cut your appetite for fuel by a whopping 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent around town if you can learn to slow down and relax.
Avoid Start-and-Stop Driving
Among the most taxing duties on a car's engine is getting the car moving from a dead stop. Once a vehicle is in motion, its energy demands drop substantially. Thus, the less stop-and-go driving you do, the farther you can go on a gallon of gas. See if your place of employment would be willing to let you start your day an hour earlier or later to allow you to avoid rush-hour stop-and-go traffic.
Use the Highway Whenever Possible
If you can't beat traffic, at least take a route that allows you to drive smoothly. Contributing to a traffic jam and crawling along at a consistent 20 mph is better for fuel consumption than taking that surface street with 10 lights and 20 stop signs, where you'll constantly be accelerating and braking. By some estimates, the increase in fuel economy can be as much as 15 percent.
Pay Attention to the Timing of Stoplights
Time your arrival at an intersection with the green light. If it's clear that you won't make it, back off and coast in. There's no point in charging up to a red light, even though many of us do just that. Slowing down increases the chance that the light will turn green before you come to a complete stop, meaning you have less accelerating to do.

Why is it that corporate business have such large gains but yet and still family owned and operated companies struggle to maintain and keep up?
This is partly due to marketing scheme/ploys and the glamorous ways that corporate business can promote their businesses through advertising.
When a corporate business literally has piles of money to throw into an advertising campaign but yet cannot provide sufficient services professionals in the field. And by the time services are rendered if having major issues and obstacles that they choose not to ratify, With customer due to policy. Here is where you will probably receive or encounter some of the most highly trained and problematic part of their company (for you the customer) because when it comes to human resources or customer service issues they are sure to implement highly trained employees to Divert your issues/concerns on the problem at hand. This is the breakdown in the chain of command I do not understand how large corporations can advertise/market that they have the best service professionals around and are hiring low-budget under certified lackluster employees that only care about coming to work to collect a check.
Here at About Integrity movers we pride ourselves with having some of the best employees in our service industry Category. Most of our employees have been with me Trevel Randolph owner for over eight years they know the ins and outs of my intricate mind, Ways of thinking and methods of efficiency. I believe in being a people pleaser and even though we do have company policies sometimes you have to think about the Customers interest and longevity of relationship rather than quarterly gains and bonuses.
In any industry sometimes written policies just are not good enough to go above and beyond expectations. This is one thing I have always believed in going above and beyond the expectations of one views of company/employees.
See presentation is only part of any service professional Industry it does not matter how nice of equipment, tools or uniforms look sometimes it actually matters about how much of an intellectual being one is. Or the know how and workmanship one possesses. This is something written policy can never cover/implement.
Here at about Integrity movers llc everything starts with me the owner Trevel Randolph. I love the challenge of overcoming obstacles especially unforeseen issues this is part of what drives me in my day to day life. Knowing that life is never written down on a policy board nor will a policy ever cover the intricate details of life and it's task.

Posforth Gill, Valley of Desolation.
This tranquil valley owes its name to the desolation caused by the great storm in 1826. Nature has long since repaired the devastation. In 1999 eight thousand trees were planted and interpretation introduced to illustrate the natural succession of plants and trees thought likely to have developed along the valley and on the immediate fells since the end of the last Ice Age.

The ambitious emperor heartily agreed, thinking it would help his ability to distinguish the wise men from the fools in his empire.

There was a point earlier this summer when Aussies in the Top End started to wonder: Where the hell are the cyclones?
The Australian region is usually hit with 11 cyclones each season - which runs from November 1 to April 30 - but only five tropical cyclones have been named in 2016-17. The 2015-16 season was the least active on record, with only three tropical cyclones declared.
In other words, it has been eerily still.
That was until today, when a Category 4 monster will hurtle towards the Whitsundays.
The region is expected to endure destructive winds, gales and a dangerous storm surge when the cyclone hits this morning.
The latest research into cyclones suggests that this will become the norm: fewer cyclones, but the ones that do form will be destructive.
That means stronger winds, more ferocious storms and heavier rain.
Cyclones need a very specific set of conditions in the atmosphere and ocean to form. Climate change has made those conditions harder to find, which is likely to lead to fewer tropical cyclones around the world, according to University of Melbourne cyclone expert Associate Professor Kevin Walsh.
One of the key conditions is sea-surface temperature above 26.5C and cool conditions in the upper part of the troposphere, which is found 15km above sea level.
"Climate change is causing the upper troposphere to heat up even more, and so the atmosphere becomes more stable," Dr Walsh told the university's Pursuit website.

Life with Lisa Bradshaw
Life with Lisa Bradshaw is a television talk show focused on everyday people and everyday life, the challenges we face and the joy we experience. Bradshaw's life experiences as a mother, cancer survivor, widow, entrepreneur and author have helped shape her life and create
a desire to share the stories of others in effort to lend the same support she has also needed at various times. Bradshaw founded The DON'T WAIT Project® when writing her book, Big Shoes: A Young Widowed Mother's Memoir, after the tragic loss of her husband at age 35. Now, 14 years later and as her grown son leaves for college, Bradshaw is focusing on a different story.
"Hardships are opportunities for crossroads not an impasse in life," Bradshaw says. "This show isn't about my story (although I've always been willing to lend my own story if it helps someone else feel more capable of telling their own). Instead, it's about shedding light on the person who is doing the most good or whose philanthropy needs the most awareness. This show is about true storytelling in all its heartache and triumph. And it's what the DWP and I do best."

The weekend just gone saw English language power blogger, Steve Miller, of Qiranger.com and his wife, Johanne Miller, visit Jeju Island. They spent their time walking Jeju Olle Trail (though I did see an impressive side trip to Eoseungsaengak which is an undiscovered gem of hiking here which many none-Chinese visitors miss).
Saturday took them to Route 6 which threads itself along the Seogwipo coast, including downtown Seogwipo or the harbour area depending on your sub-route choice. Sunday saw them take in no less than four different routes with use of a rental car.
There is more content to come from them I'm sure including high quality, professional, videos, but here is an aggregated collection of the content I've seen on Twitter grabbed via Hootsuite.
A final 'thank you' to Steve and Johanne for choosing to spend their Jeju Island time with Jeju Olle.

This short and easily accessible hike is teeming with wildlife and rich with luscious native foliage. Visitor center and play area offer ample opportunities for fun and discovery.
The Lettuce Lake Regional loop is a short and sweet 1.2 mile hike appropriate for all ages. This loop is a great way to get in touch with the Florida scenery and wildlife without having to take a whole lot of time out of your day (though if you have the time you'll likely want to spend more time here!) There is a play area if you want to bring the kids, and a visitor center to gain a more in-depth understanding of the preserve.

Tom Nees has been through this challenge once before, but it is a new experience for Jon Agriesti.
Tom Nees has been through this challenge once before, but it is a new experience for Jon Agriesti.
Both will be building track programs at first-year Hilliard Bradley High School after being coaches at Hilliard Darby last season. Nees, who is Bradley's girls coach, headed up the Darby program from its inception. Agriesti had not coached a first-year program until becoming the Jaguars' boys coach.
Both teams will open Saturday in the Newark Invitational.
"There are some things which I've changed from when I started at Darby, but it's still pretty similar," Nees said. "I think the thing that helps is that there is some consistency. Many of our athletes also came from Darby. Even if they don't have much experience, they are familiar with us as coaches, our ideas and our basic fundamentals."
The girls team has some experience as junior Mackenzie Gill was a member of Darby's 800-meter relay that placed 10th (1 minute, 43.77 seconds) at the Division I state meet last year. She also competed in the 1,600 relay at regional, as did sophomore Lauren McCabe.
McCabe also competed in the regional cross country meet last fall for Bradley, finishing 32nd (22:12.17) after placing fifth (20:50.81) at district. She will lead a distance group which also includes juniors Alisha Mackintosh, Maddie McDonald and Becca Nikolaus.
"They will be our distance core and will likely (lead) both our mid-distance and distance events," Nees said. "I think we have some good athletes in distance and in sprints, but we won't have the depth we had at Darby. We could take our lumps as a team, but we have some kids who can do well in certain events."
Leading the sprinters will be Gill, junior Emily Lebsock and freshman Kayla Malik. Junior Jordyn Ebert will compete in the hurdles.
In field events, sophomore Courtney Braun and junior Emily Boyd will compete in the throws, Mackintosh in the high jump, Gill and Lebsock in the long jump and sophomore Celena Tunila in the pole vault.
"We've looked good in practice and we've gotten some things accomplished, but we won't get a true feeling until we've competed," Nees said. "We'll continue to re-evaluate probably three to four weeks into the season until we have everyone in the right positions and the girls have a little experience competing."
�The boys team also anticipates being stronger on the track than in the field events.
Sophomore Sam Darling was on the 1,600 relay that finished 16th (3:26.74) at state last season for Darby, as well as on the 400 relay at regional. Also, sophomores Alex Ken and Blake Scipio were on Darby's 800 relay at regional.
Darling will be joined in the long sprints by junior Corey Straight, who competed for Gallipolis Gallia Academy last season.
Joining Ken in the sprints will be junior Jeffie Johnson and sophomore Terrell Sandford.
Junior Jerry Briggs and sophomore Jesse McGraw will compete in the hurdles.
"It's a pretty good group of kids, but as in all sports at Bradley this season, we will be relying heavily on the sophomore class," Agriesti said. "I'm very excited about our sprints group. They are young but very talented, which I think could be said about our whole team.
"The one advantage the girls team has over us is that they are competing in Division II, which was like most of our other sports. But with only three divisions in track and field, we were six boys over the limit of Division II and so we're starting our first season in Division I."
The distance events will be comprised of five members of Bradley's cross country team last fall in junior Ahmed Duahel and sophomores Austin Alpeter, Troy Kelleher, Jacob Markusic and Mike McDunn.
In cross country, Alpeter was ninth (17:33.72) at district and 38th (18:24.64) at regional, as the Jaguars competed at regional as a team. Kelleher (15th, 17:44.63) and Markusic (18th, 17:52.78) also were in the top 20 at district.
"That is a very talented group and they've already got varsity competition experience in cross country," Agriesti said. "We do have many kids who have varsity experience in other sports at Bradley, like Jeffie Johnson and Blake Scipio in football. Johnson may be the best athlete in our school and Jerry Briggs is right there, too. Then we've got a guy like Corey Straight who comes from a strong program at Gallia Academy.
"We're trying to get all these athletes in the right events and we're trying to mix a bunch of kids from all over the board _ with track experience, with no track experience, with varsity experience, without varsity experience. There is a learning curve here, for the coaches and the kids. We're throwing bodies in different events and seeing what materializes. That's why we'll be a lot better in May than we are early in the season."
The field events may be a work in progress, but Agriesti said he expects junior Tyrone Ford to compete in the throws and sophomore P.J. Minjangos to join Scipio in the high jump.

Another one of my favorite shrubs, the Hibiscus. I love the vibrant color flowers that these produce. There are tons of different colors and varieties of this plant, each just as beautiful and colorful as the rest. They are originally from China, and made its way here through the Pacific and Hawaii. Since it's not native here, it is technically considered an invasive plant grown in many tropic regions. Most of the flowers are considered one day flowers, meaning they open in the morning and begin to wilt in the afternoon. Luckily here in Florida, the flowering season for Hibiscus is nearly all year long, so we can almost alway see these pretty flowers.
This more bushy plant does better being left to grow rather than trimmed or shaped. They can range from small and bushy, but can grow as tall as 20 feet. If planting multiple Hibiscus plants, its recommended to leave about 4-5 feet between each plant to allow them space to grow. They will do much better in the southern half of Florida, because a younger smaller Hibiscus will be wiped to in temperatures lower than 30 degrees. So take precaution incase of the off chance of a Florida freeze.
When planting make sure to take note of the amount of sunlight. Full sun is preferred, but as long as the plant gets half a day of sunlight they should do well. They do not like areas of High Saturation, so also make sure the area it is planted drains well when choosing its location. Also check the pH of the soil when planting. A pH of 5.5-6.5 is optimal. Too alkaline of soil can lead to nutrient deficiencies. If you have issues with the color of the plant you can add some Manganese to help correct this.
Keep an eye out for pests on Hibiscus. Many different types of chewing insects can be found on them including Caterpillars, Grasshoppers, leaf miners, etc. Also keep an eye out for sucking insects such as Mealybugs, Spider Mites, Aphids, whitefly, and thrips. Pest problems will be more likely in areas with poor air circulation, so keep this in mind when planting.
A common issue I've seen with Hibiscus is root rot. As mentioned before, these plants do not like wet feet. So keeping the soil from being too saturated it important. If they do start to have root rot issues, they will wilt and die quickly. Ive found in this case if you hit them with Heritage (a very strong Fungicide) and fertilize them heavy to push some new growth, they will some times pull through. If the damage is too far, the plant will not survive.

You're viewing a comment by Richie and its responses.
Without reading your analysis it's clear that LnearFibonacci computes all the fib numbers up to "n", and then throws all but the last number away. Next time it recomputes the same numbers again, so of course you get complexity O(n^2).
If the function filled an array then computation would be linear and only one call would be required.

The naturist movement in France is enormous. And convincing in both ideas and actions. On May 5th, one of Paris most notable art museums, Palais de Tokyo will only welcome visitors stripped to their bare skin.
The Paris Naturist Association has once again granted a private show for its members before the public is invited to see the exhibition at the museum.
You can count on headlines as the naked Parisians will march into the building pictured above with its view over the Seine and the Eiffel tower. The building hosting Palais de Tokyo is situated on the 13 Avenue du Président-Wilson and was built in 1937 for the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne (International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life.) Today the museum is one of the most notable museums within the modern and contemporary art scene.
Nudity has always been a great interest of man. Someone who used naked people in his art in a fairly new and creative manner is Spencer Tunick gathering a mass of people in specific environment where they are exposed as a big group shaping a greater organism lined up side by side in streets, town squares, buildings as well as lakes.

Love at first sound - Mission accomplished
When describing initial signs of attraction, many couples trace the origins back to love at first sight. But for O'Neil Phillips, his encounter with Judith Thompson was love at first sound.
The two met 15 years ago through a mutual friend, over the phone. As O'Neil told Flair: "I was living in California at the time and had been looking for love in Jamaica. When I spoke to Judith for the first time, we clicked. Our conversations were never-ending, like taking up a good book to read and not being able to put it down. They were nice,
comfortable, exciting and addictive. I found myself looking forward to speaking to her every day."
For Judith, the feelings were mutual but she had a secret. "The friend that we had in common actually told me that a friend of hers was going to call her, and that when he did, if I could answer the phone and pretend to be Stacy* because it was just not working out between the real Stacy and O'Neil. I found the request strange, but played along anyway."
He asked why she hadn't been answering his calls and Judith, aka Stacy, said her phone was out of service and proceeded to give him another number - her own number.
She kept up this alias act for quite some time, three months to be exact, but discovered in the process that the mission had been compromised - she was falling in love. "I couldn't take it anymore and I came clean, confessing that my name wasn't Stacy, it was Judith," she revealed.
She thought it would've been over then, but after the initial shock, things went back to normal. "He said he was glad I had told him now rather than later. I guess you could say my friend played cupid without even knowing it," she added.
They spoke about four times every day. A year later, Judith received a call that changed everything. "When I answered the phone I heard his voice, but saw that the call was coming from a Jamaican number. I quickly asked if he was here, to which he replied, 'yes'. He then wrapped up the call by saying, 'I'll see you at 8 p.m.'".
Judith, who considered herself a "hot mess" at the time, immediately booked her hairdresser, who worked her magic.
O'Neil told Flair that when he finally met her in person, it was electric. "I was drawn to her energy and her beauty right away." For Judith, when she saw him she realised that he was the man for her.
Long distance
They remained strong in their long-distance relationship, each travelling frequently to make it work. But in 2008, O'Neil said enough was enough, he couldn't deal with the distance any more and decide to move back home to Jamaica. "When you are with the one, you just make that decision to jump - without a parachute - and do what you have to do, knowing that what is meant to be will be," O'Neil noted.
They both had children before they met, but Judith wanted one more with the love of her life. When he moved back to Jamaica, she told him that she was giving him a baby for his 50th birthday. Their beautiful daughter was born one day after his 50th birthday. They lived happily together for eight years with their beautifully blended family, until O'Neil decided it was time to make it legal.
Birthday Proposal
Since O'Neil and Judith were far from conventional, it wasn't surprising that they had two proposals one private and one public. The former took place during dinner at Spanish Court's Rojo restaurant. According to Judith, "We were having dinner on his birthday and suddenly he stopped eating, got up, went down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course, I said yes!" But, there was no ring. So, on Judith's grand 40th birthday celebrations, he decided to repropose during the speech segment of the evening, going down on one knee with a ring and asked again if she would marry him. With all the screams surrounding her, she said yes once more.
Beach Wedding
O'Neil wanted to provide a fairy-tale wedding for his queen. It would unfold at sunset with the beautiful Caribbean Sea as the backdrop, followed by a reception, and dancing under the stars on April 2. The couple chose Sandals Resorts, which made all their nuptial dreams a reality. The wedding was beautifully themed with all female guests wearing white and male guests wearing grey. The bride was a vision of elegance and beauty in her ivory wedding dress. And when she walked down the aisle to meet her husband-to-be, he was speechless.
The ceremony and reception were filled with laughter and happiness, and provided the perfect prelude to Judith's birthday the very next day. "It was the best gift I have ever received for my birthday."

Hogwart's School for Witchcraft and Wizardry
Fred and George Weasley
Fred Weasley I (1 April 1978 – 2 May 1998) was a pure-blood wizard, a son of Molly and Arthur Weasley, brother to Bill, Charlie, Percy, Ron and Ginny Weasley, and twin brother to George Weasley. He was a toddler during the height of the First Wizarding War and was three when Lord Voldemort fell for the first time. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1989 to 1996 and was sorted into Gryffindor house. Both he and his twin brother were popular students, known for their sense of humour, and Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. In their seventh year, they joined Dumbledore's Army. A brilliant prankster and inventor, Fred left Hogwarts shortly prior to graduation to become a successful entrepreneur, alongside his twin brother, and opened the joke shop Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley. Fred was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix; he fought in the Battle over Little Whinging in 1997 and was a commentator for Potterwatch during the height of the Second Wizarding War. In 1998, Fred participated in the Battle of Hogwarts, defending the castle's passageways with his twin. While fighting alongside his brother, Percy, he was killed in an explosion possibly caused by Death Eater Augustus Rookwood.
George Weasley (b. 1 April, 1978) was a pure-blood wizard, son of Molly and Arthur Weasley, brother of Bill, Charlie, Percy, Ron, Ginny, and twin brother of the late Fred Weasley. George's first few years were marked by the height of the First Wizarding War and the downfall of Lord Voldemort when he was just three years old. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1989 to 1996 with Fred, and was Sorted into Gryffindor house. He and Fred were popular students, becoming Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in their second year, and members of Dumbledore's Army in their unfinished seventh year. A born prankster and inventor, George left Hogwarts prior to graduation to become a successful entrepreneur, alongside his twin brother, and opened the joke shop Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes at 93 Diagon Alley. He was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and fought in the Battle over Little Whinging and the Battle of Hogwarts; in the latter, Fred died, leaving George devastated. Sometime after the end of the Second Wizarding War, George married Angelina Johnson, with whom he had a son he named Fred, in honour of his late twin, and a daughter named Roxanne.
Fred Weasley, along with his identical twin George, was born to Arthur and Molly Weasley on 1 April, 1978; appropriately enough, April Fool's Day. He was raised at his family home of the Burrow, near Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England. In addition to his twin brother, Fred had three older brothers, Bill, Charlie and Percy, and two younger siblings, Ron and Ginny. The Weasley family was poor, but loving.
Fred and George enjoyed making mischief from a young age, and were quite a handful for their parents. It was not uncommon for explosions to be heard coming from the bedroom the two shared. They also greatly enjoyed teasing their brothers Percy and Ron. At the age of five, Fred transformed Ron's teddy bear into a giant spider, sparking his arachnophobia, after Ron broke his toy broomstick. Also around that age, he gave Ron an Acid Pop, which burnt a hole through his tongue.4 When they were seven years old, Fred and George nearly succeeded in getting Ron to make an Unbreakable Vow; their father was so angry that Fred later said "his left buttock has never been the same since." One Christmas, Fred and George set off a Dungbomb under the chair of their great-aunt Muriel during a family dinner. The elderly witch most likely wrote the twins out of her will for this stunt, and stopped attending Christmas celebrations at the Burrow, for which all the Weasley children were thankful.
Fred was educated at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1989 to 1996, and was sorted into Gryffindor House. He was very popular among the Gryffindors in school, and he and George were well-known for their senses of humour and pranks. The twins even set up their own joke shop in the disused bathroom on the seventh floor. Among Fred's many friends were Lee Jordan, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Oliver Wood, and Katie Bell. During their first year at Hogwarts, Fred and George swiped the Marauder's Map from Argus Filch's office.
In their second year , Fred and George became Beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. They both used Cleansweep Five broomsticks and were so skilled at Quidditch that they were both described as being like "human Bludgers".
It was noted by Ron Weasley on the Hogwarts Express that Fred and George achieved "brilliant grades", at least in their early years.

Mixing technology for the dry building materials and cement industry: Individual solutions for a wide range of mixtures
At Powtec 2016, BHS-Sonthofen displays dry powder batch mixers of the DMX series. They are adapted to the special requirements of mixing dry materials, such as cement, dry mortar, bonding compounds and dry shotcrete.
The mixers are specially tailored to the production of dry material mixtures. Since dry building materials encompass a wide range of aggregates, cements and admixtures, different application-specific drive variants are available for the mixers with different speeds and different mixing tools. These can be individually configured according to the application, e.g., for abrasive or adherent input materials.
They are suitable for mixtures containing all manner of aggregates, cement, small dry components, plastic fibers and cellulose. With an extensive modular system and various options, they can be customized to the products of the user, from fine-grained materials such as cement to mortar mixtures with coarse particles up to 8 mm in size. BHS offers a range of machines with throughput rates of up to 300 t per hour.
Compared with single-shaft mixers, they offer considerably better mixing with short mixing cycles. Furthermore, the DMX mixers are more compact than single-shaft mixers and also represent good value for money.
Homogeneous mixtures
BHS has developed the DMX series on the basis of the twin-shaft batch mixers (type DKX), which have been used in thousands of concrete mixing applications. The mixing mechanism consists of mixing tools that are arranged in the form of a discontinuous spiral on each of two counter-rotating mixing shafts. They generate a three-dimensional spiral motion with intensive exchange of material in the turbulent zone of overlap between the two mixing cycles.
Thanks to the sophisticated mixing mechanism, the speed of the mixer can be less than that for comparable single-shaft or intensive mixers while still producing a greater mixing effect. This considerably reduces the energy consumption and is also gentler on sensitive components in the material to be mixed, such as perlite, styrofoam or expanded clay – the particles are not crushed.
Compared with other mixing systems, twin-shaft mixers are filled to a much greater extent, making them more compact for a comparable throughput rate. In the case of new plants, these mixers are thus ideal because of their small dimensions; for modification to existing plants, they allow the installation of a more powerful mixer in the existing space.
Residue-free discharge
Since many manufacturers produce different products in succession, a residue-free discharge of the trough is important. In the case of the DMX, this is carried out by means of large, hydraulically operated discharge door wings that are available in two variants for fine and coarse-grained mixture products. The discharge door wing for fine-grained mixtures has a seal to prevent fine-grained materials, such as cement, from escaping; it is also waterproof. The mixing shafts are fitted with special sealing air seals.
Excellent resistance to wear
Depending on the abrasiveness of the mixture, various wear liners are available. All wearing parts in the mixer, such as mixing arms or blades, are screw-fitted and are thus easy to adjust or exchange. This simplifies maintenance and increases the availability of the plant.
Tests in our BHS technical center
Every dry material mixture has different characteristics; for this reason, BHS conducts tests at its in-house technical center on request. These tests give the customer the certainty that his outlay is well invested and that the new plant is future-proof.

Dog DNA analysis delays case of man accused of raping his domestic worker
Pretoria - The case against a 41-year-old man, who allegedly raped his domestic worker and forced her to perform sexual acts with his dogs, has been postponed.
The Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate's Court heard on Tuesday that the State was still awaiting DNA samples from the dogs which may or may not positively provide help prove that the victim was forced to perform sexual acts with the animals.
The accused's lawyer, Ehleketani Maluleke, told the court that she had been instructed to bring a bail application at the accused's next appearance, following testimony from a psychiatrist that he is fit to stand trial.
She would also apply to have the accused's dogs released to his parents.
READ: Gauteng man allegedly rapes his domestic worker, forces dog on her
State prosecutor Solly Leballo told the court that they would oppose the application for the dogs to be released until the samples were ready.
He added that the DNA samples for the victim and the accused had been completed and received.
Mentally unstable
During a previous court appearance, a psychiatrist who evaluated the accused for seven days, declared that he was mentally fit to stand trial.
On the back of the testimony, the court also dismissed an application by the defence to have the accused admitted to Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria for mental observation.
The accused's father previously testified that his son had always been mentally unstable.
"One moment he would be fine, the next he would be angry, swearing, shouting, fighting and breaking things."
He said this behaviour had started when his son was 9 years old.
"In mid-1993, he got so bad… he got angrier and more violent, that we took him to the district surgeon in Potchefstroom to have him observed because of his unacceptable behaviour.
"They sent him to Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital in Krugersdorp. He was there for two weeks, where they diagnosed him as mentally... [challenged]."
The father also testified that in 1999, his son had set himself alight and had sustained burn wounds over 33% of his body.
The accused has been charged with 10 counts, including five of rape and three counts of sexual assault, after he allegedly dragged and locked the victim in a room, where he raped her repeatedly.
The domestic worker was working in the house, where the accused lived with his parents in Raimar Park, Bronkhorstspruit, when she was allegedly accosted in October 2017.
The case has been postponed to March 19 for a formal bail application.

Daily News | North Korea backs off, dollar rises
As this trading week continues, the focus is still on the US – North Korea relations and some serious threats that were heard over the last few day. However, a major development occurred when North Korea announced that they would postpone launching a missile near Guam, which resulted in big gains for the US dollar. The USD went up against pretty much all other major currencies, but the Japanese yen suffered the most significant blow because this currency was considered a haven in case of a crisis. After 108.72 yen for a dollar on Friday, this number went up to 110.38 yen for a USD yesterday, marking a 0.7% increase. The euro lost ground against the dollar too, with a 0.2% drop to 1.1757 USD and the American currency also rose against the Swiss franc – 0.3%. Because of all that, it is not very surprising that the dollar index grew 0.3% as well, because this index monitors the currency's status in comparison to six other global counterparts. All in all, it seems that North Korea started showing signs of backing down, to which the market immediately reacted. Hopefully, this whole thing will soon get back to normal, and you can be sure the prices will react accordingly. We will keep monitoring the situation and keep you posted, as we always do.

About 18 Canton firefighters, with assistance from Ashland Marathon Fire Chief John Gross, rappelled down the back of a six-story Canton building Wednesday as part of a training exercise.
Move over Spiderman.
Canton firefighter-paramedic John Breehl took rope in hand, climbed over a wall topping the roof of a six-story building at Sixth Street and Market Avenue S and crawled slowly down its side Wednesday morning.
"Coming off that building, I was a little nervous at first. But once you get over it and get your weight on the rope — we have plenty of training and we trust each other — it was pretty awesome. I'd do it again," Breehl said.
He was one of about 18 Canton firefighters, with assistance from Ashland Marathon Fire Chief John Gross, who rappelled down the back of the building as part of a firefighter training exercise.
"We're doing some rescue training out here to get the Canton Fire Department prepared for technical rescue operations to prepare us to do rescue situations — high-angle rescue, confined-space rescue — situations like that," said Capt. Jeff Magee.
Firefighters also planned to put a "patient" into a rescue basket, lowering him over the side of the building and nearly 70 feet to the ground.
"This will help us with training on lowering patients over buildings if someone should get hurt in an elevated area or a confined space where we've got to raise them up out of a manhole or someplace from underground," he said.
The building isn't the tallest in the city, but it made for great practice, the firefighters said.
Chief Stephen Rich said the tallest building is the Chase Bank building at Market Avenue and Tuscarawas Street. That structure is 14 stories, he said.

I found myself not so long ago floating atop smooth waters under the most gorgeous night sky infinitely filled with the brightest stars I had ever seen. My mind was filled with possibility. My heart beat wildly with excitement in the dreams of the days to come. My soul…my soul was happy…filled with hope and happy. The happy that one fleetingly feels after reading the last page of a happy ending or standing from a movie seat after the show had taken you to a world you only ever wished existed. As corny as it sounds, it was that kind of happy! It was as if I was floating in a boat looking up at the stars. I was lost in not only their beauty but also, the lulling sounds of water rocking me peacefully within its waves. Yes, that kind of happy! The kind where everything fit which left me with satisfaction of my strength in weathering life's storms to get me here.
If you noticed I said "was". I can't speak with knowledge of many storm systems as I've lived my entire life in the southern states. But, I can speak of my experience with those. Tornados in particular. There is a dawning if you will after a tornado. A time when the sky is filled with nothing but sunlight again. The path of destruction made clearly visible. The need for rebuilding laid out in front of your eyes. The damage my be severe or merely a few scrapes to your structure. There is as much certainty in the fact that another storm will arise one day as there is in your strength, luck or sheer determination to survive the one which had just passed. Yes, I said "was". True in so many of our lives, another storm arose. The clouds darkened the sky to mask the brilliance of the stars that once shown down on my smiling face. The wind ripped across the smooth sea to form waves massive enough to topple my once sturdy boat. Each passing gust cluttered my mind, tampered my wildly beating heart and put my soul at unrest.
I've come to read a certain quote each morning when I awake, "Without rain nothing grows, learn to embrace the storms of your life." I'm weathering this storm. I'm growing beyond its damage. I'm embracing the changes which are growing under its downpour.
I've written before in blogs and interviews that Samantha "Sam" LeJeune was never to be a longstanding character in the Chambers of the Heart series. Yet there was something about her character that made me fall in love with the person she was and the person she could grow to be. I've come to realize writing her became an anchor I would need later in my own personal storm. It is her story I am writing now. The original storyline in the third book "After the Storm" has changed. My anchor is calling me to write her story. Sam's voice is whispering among my keys. So, I am writing Sam's story…"When There's No Rayne". Hers is a story worth telling. It will be the story of how she learned to embrace the storm of her life.
After all, every boat needs an anchor in a storm.

Modern Concrete Home
Our January/February issue House of the Month is the suave home of Greenside interior design consultancy owner, Lee-Ann Bell, and her partner Marcus Pieterse, who owns and designs MAKE furniture. The space is a testament to the couple's sophisticated taste, which comes down to their preference for simplicity and minimal fuss. It's obvious why our Editor, Naomi Larkin, has been trying to feature this incredible home in the magazine for a while now. And minimal it is – the concrete exterior is interrupted only by slats of wood and glass panels. However, the lush greenery surrounding the home breaks the simple colour palette and adds a lovely dollop of green to the property. Inside the house you'll find an enviable collection of contemporary South African art, as well as exquisite furniture, and the couple's ever-purring two Russian Blue cats, Mischa and Koushka. To read more about this magnificent home, see our House of the Month story titled Modern Poetry, on page 50 of our January/ February 2012 Trends issue, on sale from 19 December...

text: To the man who owns my heart, I thought of you again last night before drifting off to sleep. I don't know why no matter what I do, I can't stop thinking about you. I remember the first day we met, I fell in love with you because I saw something in you that I cannot see with someone.. or something else. You are patient, kind, slow to anger, generous and something that struck me.. you never keep record of my wrongs. I can never out-give you. Everything that I do is nothing compared to what you've done. A lot of times I ask, "Who am I that you are mindful of?" "What can I do to give back all the undeserved love?" But I always get the same reply, "I loved you first. To let me in your heart is more than enough." The years with you are the best years of my life. You don't know how healthier my heart gets every time I pour out all my thoughts on you. Unlike other friends of mine, you listen without judgement. And you know how sneaky you are? You let me decide on my own yet you would do things to protect me from any harm that my decisions would lead me to! That annoyed me at first but I learned to appreciate it as our relationship gets deeper. A lot of times we argue over things and stuff. I want to go left, you are always right. I want to do this and that, but you would disapprove. Our fights are always short though because usually I would end up heartbroken whenever I follow what I want. Thing is, you never fail to catch me every time I fall. I always end up thanking you for interceding. I remember when you first called me "my beloved" after my first heartbreak.. I felt so loved. I was shattered having been betrayed but your words assure me that you are with me. You will never leave me nor forsake me no matter how worse things get. Above all, you will love me no matter how worse I become. Your unconditional love melts my heart in awe. You even said, "I will make you my bride forever." Your love perseveres. You were faithful, though I am not. You didn't let me go even if a lot of times I pushed you away. You're not like the rest who would step out of my life and wait for me to reach out. You are always the one who would do the first move, though I know you were hurt for my mistakes. Now I know that one day, I will get married and will have kids. I want my husband-to-be to know you too. Not just know you, but have the same relationship that I have with you. To recognize that you are the center of it all and our lives are meaningless without you. I want a worshiping family. Someday we will see each other face to face and you will ask me, "What did you do with the life I gave you?". God, you own my heart, my life.. I want to be able to answer You that day…I want my list to be long enough! I want You to be proud of me and tell me, "Well done!" And I guess no matter how far I run away, I will end up with You..because my soul was made to yearn..for You! I love You so much.. so much that I will obey. Bride-ly yours, Charmie P. ❤
