Lack of hoverscooters and sex robots leave Ian Martin's 2010 feeling a little flat
Monday. There's something about '2010' that's messing with my head. Perhaps it's how futuristic the date suddenly looks. It makes me remember the 20th century, when we thought '2010' would be all Gerry Anderson hoverscooters and Star Trek holodecks and origami buildings that refold themselves to suit your mood and a new communitarian world order and sex robots.
'2010'. Ugh. Optimism and nostalgia make poor bedfellows. One of them is relentlessly perky and insatiable; the other's always snoring.
Tuesday. I tell Rock Steady Eddie, the Middle East fixer, about my preoccupation with the past. 'Oh, that reminds me. I've heard Israel's planning an international design competition. They're after a world-class wall along the Egyptian border, yeah? And this time they want to pre-ironise it, so Banksy and a thousand other scribbling graffiti hoodies can't amble over there and take the piss…'
What about a living wall? It would be expensive to maintain but… ' Love it. Homeland security, booming and blooming'. He leans in to whisper. 'Keep shtum, yeah, but I've heard there's plenty more decorated infrastructure on the way. Wall round the West Bank, wall round Israel. From the air it'll look like the North Circular and the M25. Until the ROOF goes on…'
Wednesday. Finish drawings for my Tamworth Mega-Library. It will incorporate the existing historic building as a sort of ironic nod to traditional notions of silence and study.
However, I have introduced exciting new concepts. Such as individual social networking booths, an indie band rehearsal space, e-reader treadmills, a Blu-Ray lounge with probiotic wi-fi and a Stephen Fry Experience in which the nation's favourite books are wittily summarised by the nation's favourite person in 140 characters (more if they're by Dickens or Gabriel García Márquez).
Thursday. Can't shake this whole nostalgia/foreboding thing. Or Rock Steady Eddie. He rings to warn me not to speak to any journalists this week.
Apparently people are very keen to see the secret 2003 plan I helped devise for the lying shit Blair. The idea was to redesign Iraq giving it more of an open, democratic feel. 'Less oily' was the brief. I suggested sexing-up Baghdad with wavy roofs and metrosexual planters. There was even a bold proposal to create 'quarters'. Literally: cultural, media, Sunni, Shia. It all came to nothing. Certain US interests wanted their own Fifth Quarter, and the Kurds went all nimby.
Thank goodness the Afghanistan remodelling's turning out to be such a success. Obviously there are a few bumps in the road but traffic calming is a small price to pay for getting a Kabul Debenhams.
Friday. Design a new housebuilding framework for the Homes and Communities Agency. It's made of recycled materials, with specially cut corners.
Saturday. Eddie rings with a heads-up. This week's client buzzword is 'reburjing'. It's like rebadging but involves magical realism. The Burj Dubai was an awkward mix of hubris and humiliation last month. Now they've renamed it Burj Khalifa, it's saucier than Blackpool Tower.
Easy, I tell him. I've been reburjing for decades, with miraculous results. I remind him it was my idea years ago to rebadge Windscale. Once they started calling it Sellafield all those local so-called 'leukaemia clusters' disappeared and… wait a minute. I've remembered something.
Sunday. Oh NOW I get it. It's 20 years ago THIS WEEK that I wrote my first column taking the piss out of architects, right here in the AJ. A strange, chilly feeling overwhelms me and I retire to the recliner.
I have a weird dream, in which it's January 1990. No internet. Lots of architects still directly employed by local authorities. Margaret Thatcher is Prime Minister. Only super-rich yuppies can afford these new 'mobile phones'. They're so unwieldy you might as well be pulling a Routemaster with a K6 jammed into it. Brr, it's FREEZING. Where am I? Ah, Queen Anne's Gate. I enter the fabled Architects' Journal of Yesteryear.
Beneath creaking Georgian floors, a composite Victorian pub assembled from bits of salvaged blitzam. There's a stuffed lion, and spuds baking in the fire. The three funniest people in architecture – Berthold Lubetkin, Martin Pawley and Cedric Price – are at the bar, inventing neo-sarcasticism. Hey, and I'm smoking… indoors!
Wake up, coughing. I suppose I ought to thank everyone who's read the column over the last 20 years. Then I shrug and go back to sleep.

Good Grief, It's Already Christmas at Wal-Mart
Halloween just ended but it's already Christmas at many retailers. Wal-Mart rolled out its "early bird specials" that it normally would reserve for Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping days.

The Dairy Sector and Poverty Reduction: A FAO Perspective
This presentation was given at the 7th IFCN Dairy Conference, held in Szczecin, Poland, 24 May 2006. One in three farmers lives in extreme poverty; the presenters propose livestock as having high potential for farmers to increase returns from their land. Milk, a high-value commodity, is in growing demand in low-income households and this can be met by small-holder farmers. The presentation concludes that there is ample scope for low-cost productivity increases and welfare improvment in the small-holder livestock sector.
For further information, see PPLPI Working Papers: No. 2, No. 3, No. 7, No. 16, No. 20, No. 33, and No. 34.

Hermes Taiwan Window Display by NOIZ architects
Cityscape and unplanned nature
Reflecting the spirit of the flâneur, the annual theme for Hermes 2015. The window display designed by NOIZ architects invites viewers to take a stroll and discover unplanned nature in streets of Taiwanese cities.
Inspired from charming and unique sceneries of local cityscape such as trees growing out of pipes or abundant vegetation growing on walls, we chose PVC pipes and vegetation as main components for our window display.
Colors of pipes are in different shades of Turquin Blue, Ochre Yellow, Indigo and Capucine Orange – Which are inspired from Hermes 2015 A/W collection. Pipe diameters vary from 1, 2, 4, 6 to 8 inches. PVC pipes are treated as self-defining elements, not an asset of a building, acting as space generator and sculptural element framing the products simultaneously.
Complexity of window composition varies, and each pipe size responds to the degree of complexity on the windows. Simple street-like composition is composed of larger pipes; sculptural composition of thinner pipes; and intricate compositions for small windows of 1' pipes. We chose to exaggerate the intensity and pipe sizes in order to clearly contrast the exquisite sensitivity of the Hermes products against the background. Pipes are laid out in 3D layering to create a sense of depth.
Our design concept revolves around the spectacle of co-existence of nature and man-made infrastructure in Taiwanese cities.

I still can't believe this forum is giving him a pass on his play. All of the Fox hate, Raheem the dream, PM choke threads but the biggest F'up was champ. Yet nobody here will hold him accountable for it. He's supposedly a first ballot HOF, one the best Broncos, and in the discussion for top 5 CB of all time. When the biggest game of his career approaches and the dude decides to wear a skirt.
I guess there are too many orange tinted glasses w/Champ's name on it on this forum.
Well, IMO it was a coaching mistake to have Champ playing the slot so much, and Tony Carter playing Champ's LCB position. Champ should have jammed the receiver when he was playing slot instead of giving him a free release to accelerate upfield. I don't think playing slot you want the receiver behind you right away, you want to change his direction in that first free five yards, but Champ isn't a slot cornerback.

Warner Bros. has been out of control with their marketing of the impending Justice League film lately — and with good reason. The film is only a few short weeks away from release, and it needs to do all it can to overcome the hype surrounding Thor: Ragnarok. However, one thing we haven't had yet from the marketing is an actual clip from the film.
The studio revealed the first clip on what looks like Telemundo, and someone else was able to capture that footage and throw it online. The clip in question shows off Wonder Woman's badassery as she takes on Steppenwolf. She even manages to throw him back a bit! But it's not long before she has to help out poor Barry Allen, who's getting carried away by a pair of Parademons.
After taking them out, Wonder Woman is nearly hurt by another Parademon before being rescued by Batman. Finally, Cyborg comes in from above to hack into a computer. The scene does a good job of showing off part of the team dynamic. If there is a concern I have, it lies in the overall logic. What happened to Steppenwolf after Wonder Woman pushed him back? There seemed to be a real lapse in logic there, and I hope that doesn't bleed into the actual film.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League hits theaters on November 17, 2017.

Africa currently has 367 million unique mobile subscribers, and its fastest growth period for these subscriptions was in the first half of this decade (2010-2015), with an annual growth rate of 13%. The GSMA now expects the growth rate of unique mobile subscribers to slow down to 6% in the second half of the decade (2015-2020).''
GSMA Director General, Mats Granryd, said there are significant barriers to connecting unconnected populations in the region, including limited network coverage, high cost of mobile ownership, a lack of locally relevant content and a lack of digital skills and this could be the reason why there could be a slower growth in mobile adoption.
By the end of 2015, there were 557 million unique subscribers in Africa, accounting for 965 million connections. Africa is the second largest region behind Asia Pacific in terms of unique subscribers (12% of the global subscriber base) but is also the least penetrated. At the end of 2015, less than half of the population subscribed to mobile services, well below the global average of 63%, and lower than that of the Middle East (58%), Asia Pacific (62%) and Latin America (65%).
Growth has been rapid up to this point: subscriber numbers have grown at an average annual rate of 11% over the last five years, the fastest growth rate globally. However, in 2015, subscriber growth was less than 9% and will increasingly converge with the global average over the next few years: average annual growth between 2015 and 2020 will be 6% compared to a global average of 4%. This will nevertheless be the fastest growth rate of any region.
The report further states that over the next five years, an additional 168 million people will be connected by mobile services across Africa, reaching 725 million unique subscribers by 2020. Eight markets will account for the majority of this growth, most notably Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania, which will together contribute more than a third of new subscribers.

Going abroad expands your mind
Gaining experience in foreign cultures has long been a classic prescription for artists interested in stimulating their imaginations or honing their crafts.entertainment Updated: Jun 07, 2012 17:11 IST
Living in another country can help expand minds, says a new study.
"Gaining experience in foreign cultures has long been a classic prescription for artists interested in stimulating their imaginations or honing their crafts. But does living abroad actually make people more creative?" asks the study''s lead author, William Maddux, PhD, an assistant professor of organizational behavior at INSEAD, a business school with campuses in France and Singapore.
"It''s a longstanding question that we feel we''ve been able to begin answering through this research," the expert added.
Maddux and Adam Galinsky, PhD, from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, conducted five studies to test the idea that living abroad and creativity are linked.
The findings appear in the May issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association.
In one study, master of business administration students at the Kellogg School were asked to solve the Duncker candle problem, a classic test of creative insight. In this problem, individuals are presented with three objects on a table placed next to a cardboard wall: a candle, a pack of matches and a box of tacks. The task is to attach the candle to the wall so that the candle burns properly and does not drip wax on the table or the floor.
The correct solution involves using the box of tacks as a candleholder - one should empty the box of tacks and then tack it to the wall placing the candle inside.
The solution is considered a measure of creative insight because it involves the ability to see objects as performing different functions from what is typical (i.e., the box is not just for the tacks but can also be used as a stand). The results showed that the longer students had spent living abroad, the more likely they were to come up with the creative solution.
In another study, also involving Kellogg School MBA students, the researchers used a mock negotiation test involving the sale of a gas station. In this negotiation, a deal based solely on sale price was impossible because the minimum price the seller was willing to accept was higher than the buyer''s maximum. However, because the two parties'' underlying interests were compatible, a deal could be reached only through a creative agreement that satisfied both parties'' interests.
Here again, negotiators with experience living abroad were more likely to reach a deal that demanded creative insight. In both studies, time spent traveling abroad did not matter; only living abroad was related to creativity.
Maddux and Galinsky then ran a follow-up study to see why living abroad was related to creativity. With a group of MBA students at INSEAD in France, they found that the more students had adapted themselves to the foreign cultures when they lived abroad, the more likely they were to solve the Duncker candle task.
"This shows us that there is some sort of psychological transformation that needs to occur when people are living in a foreign country in order to enhance creativity. This may happen when people work to adapt themselves to a new culture," said Galinsky.

Artificial Intelligence has made its way into the world and is preparing for tomorrow. While the world is talking about ways in which AI will shape our future, the findings of a recent study conducted at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom and Yale University in the United States of America unveil exactly the same.
The survey was conducted by over 350 artificial intelligence (AI) researchers.
Here are some of the key findings of the report:
- In next 45 years, the efficiency of AI is going to outperform humans.
- In next 120 years, all human jobs will be automated.
- Machines will surpass the humans in translating languages by 2024, could write high-school essays by 2026, drive a truck by 2027, perform retail tasks by 2031, and even perform a surgery by 2053.
- But, fret not, there are only five per cent chances that these developments by the AI machines will lead to human extinction.
- Nearly 10 per cent of the researchers believed that High-level machine intelligence (HLMI) will arrive in next nine years. While the Asian researchers see HLMI be in full-fledged use in next 30 years, the American respondents said the timeline will be 74 years.
- Nearly 48 per cent researchers suggest research on minimising the risks of AI should be prioritised by society more than the status quo.
- Sixty-seven percent respondent said that the progress of AI was faster in the second half of their career and only 10 per cent said progress was faster in the first half. The median career length among respondents was six years.
Here are 32 AI Milestones that will be reached in next few decades. Out of these 20 milestones will be achieved in next 15 years.

I always knew that I have very sensitive skin down there, even as a teenager I would avoid Laurier ultra thin pads (the ones with the plastic surface) as I would get itchy using the pads during my period. I survived my teenage years with SOFY (the ultra long overnight wings one as I have really heavy flow the first few days). I also avoid scented pantiliners as they also make me itch.
Sometime in 2003 (I think) my sister's (then) company was commissioned to do an ad for Kotex Luxe and she got one whole carton of Kotex Luxe pads that she gave to me and lasted me for about a year. Haha.. I never turned back since and always used Kotex Luxe until a few months back. I realized that since my body has recovered from all the hormonal changes of my no 2 pregnancy, my period is slowly reverting back to my original (pre-pregnancy) cycle. So, instead of 5 days of period every month, I am gradually going back to my 10-12 days period. The last 2 months, I realized that after using Kotex Luxe for 7 days.. I would break out with red bumps on the 8th day and it really made life miserable. It was difficult to walk and pee and it's not comfortable at all.
So, I decided to search for organic pads. A quick search about allergies to sanitary pads reveals that Natracare and Seventh Generation came recommended, though Natracare is more "earth-friendly" as compared to Seventh Generation. Some also suggested going for the menstruation cup to be even more green but err.. I don't think I can do that! I'm scared to even put a tampon in there let alone a menstruation cup! Having to fold it a certain way and taking it out when full.. OMG I don't think so!
|Pads for sensitive skin: Seventh Generation
So, I was thinking where to get Seventh Generation in Kuala Lumpur? Tesco? I don't think so.. I think maybe Cold Storage will be a better bet. I headed to Cold Storage at Ikano Power Ctr and yes they do carry Seventh Generation pads but woah is it expensive. But for the sake of my sensitive *down there* sigh.. what choice do I have? I bought Overnight Maxi Pads with Wings and Chlorine free super long ultra thin pads with wings.
The description on the packaging says :
*Chlorine Free (surface pads)
*Fragrance and dye free
* Gynaecologist tested
|Sevenths Generation Ultra Thin Pads with Wings
|Seventh Generation Ultra Thin Pads
I tried the ultra thin pads first since it was my first day of period and boy was it really thin. I was a bit skeptical whether it can do its job well. But surprisingly, it really works and no leaks! Just for experimenting I tried the maxi pad the next change. I really like the maxi pad, the cotton surface is really soft and err the 1 cm thickness give me an added assurance (Ok I know thickness shouldn't matter BUT it's just a psychological thing for me).
|Seventh Generation Maxi Pads with Wings: I love this pad!
|Seventh Generation Maxi Pads With Wings :Thickness is about 1 cm
So, yup last month's period, I was using 7-G's (the slang for seventh generation) all the way and yeay no more red bumps!
Then, a few weeks back I decided to go to "JustLife" shop at Ikano Basement 1 (the organic shop) and saw that they carry "Natracare"! I thought hey I must try this brand but I bought a panty liner cos ever since the breakout and reading up on all the nasty things that are put in normal liners and pads, I am like ewww.. no way.." But it is hard not to use a panty liner, unless you change underwear 3-4 times a day. My make-shift solution was to use 2-3 cotton pads to replace the liners but its not practical as you have to change cotton pads every time you visit the toilet.
|Natracare Panty Liner
|Natracare Panty Liner (Normal)
Natracare (organic and natural) Panty Liners (Normal) (RM18.90 for 18 liners -man that's expensive!)
The description on the box says:
* Organic Cotton Cover
* Plastic Free
* Perfume Free
*Chlorine Free
The panty liner is really thin but I don't like the surface, its kind of rough plus it doesn't really stick on the underwear if you are using other than cotton underwear. It also bunches up and the cover seams break easily. So, after using this for a few times, I decided to try another brand.
|Biosilk Panty Liner Malaysia
This time around, while shopping at Tesco, I saw Biosilk Liners. Description on the pack:
*Natural Herbs Lining
*Eliminates Odours
*Refreshing feeling
*Ultra thin / Superb Absorption
The refreshing feeling and superb absorption kind of trigger warning bells in my mind since the pack doesn't list what the liners are made of (which I think should be a standard enforced by a body), it could be anything my body might be allergic to. But then it also states that the liners:
|Biosilk Liners @ Tesco
*relieves itching & curbs germs
*gets rid of peculiar smells and improves leucorrhoea (whatever that is)
|Biosilk Liner
So, I thought yeah maybe I'll give it a try. I opened it, the smells kind of strong, it is about the same thinness as natracare liner, surface is also rough but Natracare's surface is organic cotton while BioSilk surface I think has some plastic elements to it. I tried it and in a few seconds I yelped in agony and threw the thing away. The stinging feeling was terrible and in the evening my *down there* was very red and painful. It lasted till next day. I decided to google "Biosilk Liners Reviews" but couldn't seem to find anyone saying that they had an allergic reaction to it, in fact a few bloggers actually said that the liners helped them with their itchiness and discharge. So, am I the only one that is sensitive to it? I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Really, the pain was terrible and to think I only put it on less than 1 minute and the reaction was bad. What if I "persevered" and put in on the whole day? *shudder*

Community mentors FAQ
FAQ - Community Mentors
What is mentoring?
Mentoring is most often defined as a professional relationship in which an experienced person (the mentor) supports and encourages people to develop specific skills and knowledge that will maximise their community organisation's potential, develop their skills, and improve their performance. In short, it is the transfer of knowledge, skills and experience. The mentor acts as a guide for not for profit organisations, social enterprise groups, registered charities, charitable trusts and un-registered charities, NGO, to find the right direction and develop solutions.
Who will my mentor be?
Your mentor will be an experienced community mentor located within a reasonable travelling distance to your organisation. Your mentor will be matched to your individual organisation's circumstances and requirements by a Community Mentors agency.
Who are the agencies and what role do they perform?
Community Mentors has a network of 18 agencies across New Zealand. Our agencies encompass the best economic development agencies, chambers of commerce and employment associations in New Zealand. After you register the nearest community mentors agent will contact you within five working days to discuss your application in detail. This is an important contact to make sure the agent is able to match you with a mentor with the experience and skills you need. Your agent will contact you 30 days after the match, and again at 75 days to follow-up and ensure the match is working well. You can also contact your agent at any time for assistance.
Business Mentors New Zealand
proudly supports Community Mentors
Is there a cost to register?
Yes clients of the Community Mentoring Programme pay a $225 + gst registration fee. After registration the mentoring is free for up 12 months, volunteered by your experienced Community Mentor.The registration fee helps to cover the administration costs of the programme.
When will I meet my mentor?
After the agent has matched you with a mentor the agent will let you know and your mentor will contact you within ten working days to arrange to meet. Meeting times and locations will be organised to suit both you and your mentor.
How often will I meet with my mentor?
During your first or second meeting you and your mentor will usually set and agree goals or objectives that you want to accomplish. Meeting frequencies and formats will be agreed between you so that your action steps can be supported and you have access to your sounding board when you need it.
How long do I have my mentor for?
Your registration with Community Mentors entitles you to free mentoring for up to one year. The term of your relationship with a mentor depends on the goals and objectives that you agree on. You can use one or more different mentors during the one year to assist you to meet different organisational challenges at different times. You can also re-register for the service after the one year period is up.
What will the mentor do?
Your mentoring will be tailored to suit your individual needs so it's hard to be specific. In general terms, your mentor will firstly work with you to conduct a confidential organisation assessment and define your mentoring requirements and objectives. Using this assessment your mentor will develop an agreed action plan with you and then work with you to implement the plan.
How can I expect my mentor to work alongside me?
Depending on your challenges and circumstances you can expect your mentor to do some or all of the following:
Facilitate growth by sharing resources and networks
Challenge you to move beyond your comfort zone

Healthcare Software Development
Pharmacy information systems (PIS) are complex computer systems that have been designed to meet the needs of a pharmacy department. Through the use of such systems, pharmacists can supervise and have inputs on how the medication is used in a hospital.
Clinical Screening:The Pharmacy Information System can assist in patient care by the monitoring of drug interactions, drug allergies and other possible medication-related complications.
Prescription Management:The Pharmacy Information System can also be use to mange prescription for inpatients and/or outpatients. When prescription orders are received, the orders are matched to available pharmaceutical products and then dispensed accordingly depending on whether the patient is an inpatient or outpatient. It is possible to track all prescriptions passed through the system from who prescribed the drug, when it was prescribed to when it was dispensed.
Patient Drug Profiles:These are patient profiles managed by the Pharmacy Information System and contain details of their current and past medications, known allergies and physiological parameters. These profiles are used for clinical screening anytime a prescription is ordered for the patient.
Report Generation:Most Pharmacy Information Systems can generate reports which range from determining medication usage patterns in the hospital to the cost of drugs purchased and /or dispensed.
Interactivity with other systems:It is important that Pharmacy Information Systems should be able to interact with other available systems such as the clinical information systems to receive prescription orders and financial information system for billing and charging.
Patient Care Management – promoting and tracking wellness behaviors within the context of an existing case-management program
Intervention and SettingThe Patient Care Management implemented– a care management software system – to track three health behavior indicators: weight management, aerobic activity, and medication compliance. The patient-centered program incorporates health coaching, care support service delivery, and direct financial incentives; it focuses on patient education and self-management.
Technology Description A web-based, population care management software system. The technologies used behind the system are as follows. Microsoft Foundation Class Library, .NET Framework 4.5, Entity framework 6.0,MS SQL Server 2012, Visual C#, Entity Framework 6.0,ASP.NET MVC,Web API 2.
Laboratory Information Systems
In healthcare software development, A laboratory information system (LIS) is a class of software that receives, processes, and stores information generated by medical laboratory processes. These systems often must interface with instruments and other information systems such as hospital information systems (HIS). A LIS is a highly configurable application which is customized to facilitate a wide variety of laboratory workflow models. Deciding on an LIS vendor is a major undertaking for all labs.
Compliant with HL7 standards HL7, (Health Level Seven), is a standard for exchanging information between medical applications. This standard defines a format for the transmission of health-related information. Information sent using the HL7 standard is sent as a collection of one or more messages, each of which transmits one record or item of health-related information. Examples of HL7 messages include patient records, laboratory records and billing information.HL7 standards support clinical practice and the management, delivery, and evaluation of health services, and are recognized as the most commonly used in the world.
HIPAA Compliant HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Any company that deals with protected health information (PHI) must ensure that all the required physical, network, and process security measures are in place and followed. This includes covered entities (CE), anyone who provides treatment, payment and operations in healthcare, and business associates (BA), anyone with access to patient information and provides support in treatment, payment or operations.The Lab Reporting management portal is fully compliant with our healthcare software development services.
Technology DescriptionA web-based responsive portal. The technologies used behind the system are as follows. JAVA,J2EE,SPRING MVC,SPRING DATA,SPRING SECURITY,ALFRESCO CMS,MONGODB,MYSQL,RABBIT MQ,HTML5,CSS3,ANGULARJS,REST WEBSERVICES.

Nepal is best know for the world's highest mountain ranges and the highest of all, Mount Everest.
Nepal, especially Kathmandu, is a country rife with corruption where--for example--the work to bring a working water system to Kathmandu has been going on since 1995 with billions spent and absolutely no work done--at all. This in a country with massive rivers that flow from the Himalayas and other mountain ranges. The population still gets its water largely in buckets from fountains that date back to the 1400's. The 1950's vinatage airport was to be rebuilt at no cost by the Chinese, but the Nepalese government turned down the offer when China refused to funnel money to Nepalese officials. One clears customs using carbon paper forms--it can take hours. Traffic in Kathmandu is a snarled mess 24 hours a day--70 minutes to go 8 miles to the airport--and child labor--and much worse abuse of children--is the norm.
Made famous by American and European hippies who came to Kathmandu for its drugs in the 1960's and 70's, the city today is literally falling down.
Pokara, a tourist destination in the countryside, is a bit better, but overrun by young Europeans with a taste for adventure. Kayaking, rafting, hang gliding, and of course mountain climbing.
I will never go back.

I saw these Jeffrey Campbell booties last year and fell in love. I never pulled the trigger and ordered them, before I knew it they were sold out everywhere. I'm a total victim of the whole "you want what you can't have"-- whenever something I kind of want sells out it makes me
really want.. NEED it. After signing up for Poshmark a few months ago and regularly perusing the new posts I found these lovelies! They are brand new, my size and the seller wanted half the original selling price. I don't know about you but I definitely call that fate.

Most people are familiar with what we today call a "kilt." The garment, worn by men, looks like a skirt but is specialized to suit a male form. On a woman, a kilt is just another skirt, and fits like one. The term comes from the word "Celt," and over recent centuries has come to symbolize Scottish culture, along with the woolen tartan fabrics from which they are made.
Video of the Day
Great Kilt
The great kilt, or feileadh mór, is the traditional kilt worn throughout history until about the early eighteenth century. In Scots Gaelic the word "plaid" means "blanket," and the great kilt consists of a single piece of woolen plaid approximately three feet by six. The wearer lays the plaid on the ground, places his belt beneath it at a distance from the bottom equal to the desired length of the skirt part, makes pleats over the belt, then lies down and secures the belt around his waist. This leaves a large section of the plaid free when he stands, which he then gathers and throws over his shoulder. Sometimes this section is secured with a pin called a "brooch," but often it is simply left draped over the shoulder. An illustration of the feileadh mór can be found at the Eighteenth Century Patterns link below.
Modern Kilt
The modern kilt, or "feileadh beg," was developed during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when British royalty caught on to the idea of tartan as national identity. A modern kilt isn't quite so simple as the "feileadh mór," and most commercial patterns don't result in a proper kilt. To avoid ending up with an ordinary skirt, make certain your pattern is authentic. "The Art of Kiltmaking" at the link below is a good source for pointers on how to make a kilt. It's said there is no such thing as a "pattern" for a kilt, because the pleats should take into consideration the particular tartan being used. You simply take a piece of woolen plaid, unhemmed, pleat the back and leave the front flat. Belt loops can be sewn on, but they're not necessary. The garment should be long enough to come just above the knee, and wide enough to overlap the entire front, keeping in mind that traditionally kilts are worn without undergarments of any kind.
A "sett" is the pattern of colors and stripes in a given plaid. Certain patterns are said to be traditional to certain clans. This tradition goes back about 200 years, to the early 19th century when plaids and kilts came to symbolize Scotland, and by extension the individual clans. In the days of the "feileadh mór," the tartan colors and patterns were used for hunting camouflage.

America's greatest truck isn't sitting in some showroom. It's not the one that wins the latest Big Time Magazine comparo, either. Nor is it the one that ranks highest in some tailor-made-for-PR survey results. The best truck in America is the one you see above. Okay, not this one specifically. Think of this 108,000-mile 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 as an archetype: the friend's truck, or more plainly, the truck you can always borrow.
I borrowed this one earlier today for a messy trip to the dump. Sure, all the filth-ridden junk would have fit in the family SUV, but cleanup would have been a nightmare, and my truck-owning buddy lives just around the corner. "Sure thing. Come on by," he says every time I ask to borrow it. And every time I use that truck, I desperately want one of my own. But the truth is, another ride's just not in the cards right now, so The Borrowed Truck is king. It is beloved. Long may it run.
And now, it's reader participation time. Do you have a strong relationship with a borrowed truck yourself? Let's hear about it.

I found myself a little too busy last week to participate in Everything Etsy's "I Made It" Thursday night blog party but I thought I would quickly show a new listing in my shop this week.
I've had this paper from the BoBunny "It's My Party" collection for awhile now and have made other paper goodies out of it but not pinwheels. So when my lovely customer Darlene ordered a set for her 5 year old son's birthday, I thought it would be a great opportunity to list them in the shop.
What do you think?◦

Flying above the Reinefjord
Photographed by @douglasstrattonphotography
This was one of the best days shooting of my life! Sometimes the journey is the destination and sometimes your destination is Reine! I was flying around the Lofoten islands in a helicopter capturing unimaginable views hanging out from the open doors. The colors of this region can blow you away when the light is right. After this flight I had pure joy and was laughing like a child again.
Cheers to the journeys you never forget!

Our twenty-fourth Heroes of the Storm Meta Tier list for the month of January is here!
Welcome to Icy Veins's most belated Meta Tier List for the January 8 patch. The goal of this list is to try and detail game's current metagame state. The prime goal of such lists is to inform players regarding popular and trending team composition drafting strategies (i.e. the drafting metagame).
Using the list
Current ranked mode map rotation
Meta picks

Tank Bruiser Fighter Stalker Marksman Mage Support Healer Cho'gall (ban) Leoric Illidan Nova — Cho'gall (ban) Tassadar Uther (ban) Tyrael Rexxar Xul Samuro The Lost Vikings (ban)
Meta heroes define the metagame. They are very often banned or picked right away, as they generally dictate the pace of most drafts and matches.
Generalists form the core of your team and are generally picked after Meta picks have been distributed. They tend to work on most maps, and as part of and against most team compositions. Since this group includes most heroes, I elected to split it into three tiers. High-tier rankings are a result of performance (i.e. win rates) and popularity (i.e. pick and ban rates). This means that heroes with high win rates can be set in low tier; the opposite may also be true.
Situational picks shine on specific maps or as part of specific team compositions.
Our Meta Tier List has been updated for the January patch!

How to Write a Great Developer Job Listing


text: Ryan's fictional evocation of the boy who would become Pablo Neruda is rich, resonant and enchanting. Simple adventures reveal young Neftalí's painful shyness and spirited determination, his stepmother's love and his siblings' affection and his longing for connection with his formidable, disapproving father. The narrative captures as well rain falling in Temuco, the Chilean town where he was raised, and his first encounters with the forest and the ocean. Childhood moments, gracefully re-created, offer a glimpse of a poet-to-be who treasures stories hidden in objects and who recognizes the delicate mutability of the visible world, while the roots of Neruda's political beliefs are implied in the boy's encounters with struggles for social justice around him. Lines from a poem by Ryan along with Sís's art emphasize scenes and introduce chapters, perfectly conveying the young hero's dreamy questioning. The illustrator's trademark drawings deliver a feeling of boundless thought and imagination, suggesting, with whimsy and warmth, Neftalí's continual transformation of the everyday world into something transcendent. A brief selection of Neruda's poems (in translation), a bibliography and an author's note enrich an inviting and already splendid, beautifully presented work. (Historical fiction. 9-13)

Pasadena, California, has more than its fair share of charming older homes. Here's one that got my attention today — a 1908 Craftsman bungalow that has retained much of its original woodwork despite a 2005 remodel. The listing says, "From the front porch to the back porch, you feel the authentic craftsman atmosphere with modern amenities."
A Pasadena Craftsman
Living Room:
There are a lot of things to love about this room, including the beamed ceilings, the built-in benches, and that big picture window.
There are 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths.
Master Bedroom:
"The master bedroom suite includes a sitting area, large walk-in closet and state of the art bath."
Dining Room:
Butler's Pantry:
An Updated Black and White Kitchen:
"Cook's kitchen with breakfast room features granite counters, subway backsplash, professional appliances and butler's pantry."
Love the door they used for the mudroom — and the built-ins:
Back Porch:
The backyard has a pool, spa, BBQ area, and 3-car garage.
There's a game room in the finished basement, as well as a wine cellar that holds around 2,500 bottles.
Love that wide stone porch, and just about everything else about this house! They're asking $2.485 million, and it already has an offer pending. I knew it wouldn't last long! For more photos and information, visit Partners Trust. Thanks to Deidre for telling me about it. 🙂

What a fantastic place. The best hotel all round that i have ever stayed in. Quiet, not crowded, plenty of sun beds, change towels whenever you wanted, the staff were fantastic and very accommodating. Usually on all inclusive we moan about the monotonous 'canteen style' food, Not here, everything...
