Grand opening draws in the visitors
Press Release • Mar 15, 2018 12:53 GMT
Visitors to Glasgow had the chance to be part of a live art illustration today (Wednesday 14 March), as the city's new VisitScotland iCentre officially opened its doors.
Glasgow illustrator Libby Walker, who is part of the national tourism organisation's retail initiative, Shop Local, created a bespoke image of the city to celebrate the official opening by VisitScotland Chairman, Lord Thurso and Councillor David McDonald, Chair of Glasgow Life.
As part of the opening celebrations, visitors were also treated to a painting demonstration by artist Lilias Conroy, while fellow Shop Local businesses, Wee Fudge Company, skincare specialists Siabann, and catering company Wild Fig showed off their wares.
Piper Vito Fazzi welcomed visitors and guests as VisitScotland Chairman Lord Thurso cut a special cake to declare the information hub officially open.
Situated in a new permanent location on Buchanan Street - one of the UK's highest footfall areas - the information hub features cutting edge technology that provides visitors with information to ensure they have the ultimate Glasgow and Scotland experience.
This innovative new centre also delivers our digital channels to visitors on their mobiles and tablets through the provision of free Wi-Fi.
Next to the south entrance to the Buchanan Street Subway, close to Queen Street and Central railway stations, the hub offers high quality face-to-face, printed and digital information.
The VisitScotland iCentre plays a gateway role, acknowledging that not just Glasgow, but the wider region can receive a major boost.
Replacing the site operating within the Gallery of Modern Art on Royal Exchange Square, the new location offers street level access and much larger space allowing the iCentre to expand its range of services.
This regional hub is part of a dynamic strategy to address the transformation in the way visitors access information on what to see and do while in the country.
Visitors will benefit from a significant increase in the number of channels providing content on places to visit and stay, with a mix of industry partners – through the VisitScotland Information Partner programme, Coo Vans and digital products sitting alongside the Buchanan Street iCentre, which will be one of 26 high footfall travel hubs in Scotland.
The opening comes at the start of a milestone year for Glasgow, with the European Championships taking place in August, the 150thanniversary of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Glasgow International biennial, an expanded TRNSMT festival and the opening of new attractions such as the Clydeside Distillery all taking place during Scotland's national Year of Young People.
By highlighting Glasgow's fantastic cultural and sporting offering, as well as positioning the city as a gateway to Scotland, the new iCentre contributes significantly to the growth ambition of the Glasgow Tourism and Visitor Plan to 2023. Launched in January 2017, the plan sets out a clear direction for building the city's global profile as a successful tourism destination, with a focus on increasing leisure tourism.
Products sold in the iCentre are aligned with Shop Local, which offers the opportunity for Scottish artisans and small businesses to promote and sell their gifts and products via the VisitScotland iCentre network.
Other features include racking for literature, large scale wall graphics and regional and national wall maps to help visitors plan their journey. Accommodation booking services and ticketing services, enabling visitors to purchase tickets for visitor attractions, tours and public transport services operated by CalMac and CityLink, are also provided.
Lord Thurso, VisitScotland Chairman, said: "The creation of this VisitScotland iCentre, right in the heart of one of Glasgow's busiest thoroughfares, reaffirms our commitment to providing visitors to the city with access to first-class information, inspiring them to stay longer, spend more and contribute to the vital visitor economy both in the city and wider region."
"The way people access information is changing, which is why we are constantly working on our digital communications to ensure we reach visitors with inspirational and informative advice at every stage of their journey. However, we know that speaking to locals is also an important part of the visitor experience and something we want to continue at our 26 high footfall travel hubs, such as this new one in Glasgow.
"With so much to look forward to in the city, this innovative hub comes at a very exciting time and will play an important role in delivering on the growth ambition of the Glasgow Tourism and Visitor Plan to 2023."
Councillor David McDonald, Depute Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Glasgow Life, said: "Glasgow is an outstanding, must-visit destination for many tourists coming to Scotland so I'm delighted one of the busiest streets in the heart of the city will have this new hub to make the visitor experience even better.
"It will provide outstanding support and advice for people coming to Glasgow and Scotland to enjoy a truly memorable experience."
Libby Walker, Shop Local illustrator, said: "It is great to be celebrating the official opening of the new Glasgow iCentre.
"I am really happy to be supporting this city centre hub as part of VisitScotland's Shop Local initiative. It is an amazing place to have my illustrations available to tourists and locals a like.
"Creating a live illustration is a unique opportunity to capture the city's vibrant and fast-paced nature. My designs celebrate the city from a contemporary viewpoint and today I will celebrate the iCentre and its new position on Buchanan Street."

GoSystem Apollo Ti 2011
The GoSystem Apollo Ti weighs 194g (+ gas); boil time 2min 55sec to 6min 15sec; 12cm diameter pan supports ideal for bigger pans. But best boil time only available with fresh gas canister; elaborate folding design does not seem to offer benefit over lower-priced stoves with wider supports and lower profile.
The GoSystem Apollo Ti's price, pan support diameter and height above ground are all disadvantages of this elaborate design.

Are you concerned about the effects of toxic cleaning products in your home? I was until I started using natural cleaning products, top among them is white vinegar! White vinegar is a powerful anti fungal, germ killer, and also eliminates hard water stains and buildup. I was so excited about this that when I first heard about it I ran out and bought a 5 gallon jug!
Here are some great uses for white vinegar:
1. Shower cleanup. Spray directly on mildew and mineral buildup, let stand for 15-20 minutes and rinse.
2. Toilet sparkler. Add 1 cup baking soda to toilet. Add 2 cups vinegar and watch the eruption! When the bubbles die down scrub and rinse the bowl.
3 Grease cutter. Use directly on surfaces to cut grease and oil.
4. Floor n window cleaner. Mix with water and spray on windows or mop up floors.
5. Remove fruit and vegetable stains from hands.
6. Laundry softener. Pour 1/4 cup in dispenser for softer laundry. Does NOT smell.
7. Neutralize Pet odors. 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water. Spray on and leave on.
8. Clean that tea cup. Remove coffee or tea stains from the bottom of your cup. Pour in and let rest for 15 minutes.
9. Get salt stains off your boots. Wipe boots with a soft cloth dipped in white vinegar.
10. Clean your dishwasher. Once a month run an empty dishwasher on a full cycle with 1 cup of vinegar.
Have fun and experiment on various household cleaning chores.

Praticing Shooting
In preparation for filming our horror trailer, we shot a sequence of me opening a door. Although it was only a short sequence, we needed to think about the angels, shot types, framing as well as the duration of our shots. We filmed the same sequence of me opening a door multiple times, in order to shoot it from various angles. Therefore we had to ensure that I did the exact same thing each time. We predominately used mid-shots, with one point of view shot, to build tension. In addition to this,we made the segment of me opening the door handle slow motion, to create an ominous atmosphere. Once we had finished filming, we added synchronous, tense music, to create a sense of anticipation.

It was a morning to cherish!
For weeks, I have been unable to sleep because of my back. So, I would wake at 3am, toss and turn, and then finally get out of bed at 4:30 or 5am. Yikes.
I have always loved staying in bed on the weekends and enjoying listening to my guys downstairs while I read books. But that has been no fun lately since being in pain.
Today, when I rolled over this morning, this is what I saw!
Hallelujah!!!! I was SO pumped, and SO grateful!!
Then, I came downstairs to see this…
Love it.
What could be a better Sunday morning?
With Love and Gratitude,

You're going to read a lot of books, articles, interviews etc that will tell you that provided you find a job you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life. While I totally understand this and strive to reach level of career satisfaction in my life, I can't envision a day when Sunday night fear doesn't creep in and Monday mornings get any easier to face.
Morning person or no morning person, most people struggle with Monday's even if it's just briefly for the first half an hour as you process the fact that the weekend is gone again for another 5 days.
Mondays are for making life as easy and as painless as possible, seeking as much joy as we can as we ease ourselves back into routine. Try incorporating a few of the below suggestions to make the most of your Monday.
1.Dress to impress
While I try to take pride in what I wear every day (or as many days as possible) I apply this mantra to Mondays and Fridays in particular. Mondays for entering the week the best version of ourselvess (we all know our mood is much better when we like our outfits) and Fridays for dancing our way into a glamorous weekend.
Wear something new. Wear something dressier than normal. Wear something that you always feel confident in or an outfit that always reaps in the compliments. Just make sure you take the time to plan the outfit the night before in order to enjoy additional precious moments in bed first thing Monday morning. Unnecessary stress is the last thing you need on a Monday morning. Trust me.
2. Organise a treat for yourself
Again this is something I apply to my Fridays too although I try to alternate which day I choose in an attempt to save some money. Factor in some me time and treat yourself to a nice lunch or call your best friend to meet you on your break. Organise a date with your boyfriend after work. A trip to the cinema or a table at that restaurant you've been dying to try will give you something to look forward to throughout the day, help you justify your "dress to impress" approach and make Monday feel much less Monday. Having something to look forward to should lessen your Sunday blues.
3. Get stuck in
Use everybody else's Monday lull in the office to your advantage and get stuck into your workload. Start your day with a to do list of all of the tasks you need to complete this week, prioritise and get going. It becomes a bit of a vicious cycle once you start getting through the list. The satisfaction you get from crossing something off your list gets a little addictive and before you know it you've got yourself into a productive Monday groove.
4. Make the most of your commute
I'm a serious creature of habit and work much better when I have a routine in order. Every morning I catch up on my favourite YouTube channels while getting ready, I then walk to work with my flask of tea listening to a good podcast usually about entrepreneurs or interviews with strong businesswomen. Upon arrival to the train station I squeeze in some reading time, something I've really been enjoying lately. By the time I've reached the office I've already taken the time to do the things that I enjoy, adding as much joy to my mornings as possible. Seek out the little things you enjoy most and see how you can incorporate them into your morning routine or commute.
5. Use your Sundays to their full advantage
Sunday is a day for organising and prepping for the week ahead so use the day wisely to do all of the mundane chores. I use my Sundays for shooting outfits for my blog, prepping posts and scheduling social media. Spend your Sunday wisely and you'll really thank yourself later. Do your food shop and prep for as much of the week as you can and pack your lunch the night before. Do all of your washing and tidy your room. Starting the week on a clean and organised note is much easier than dealing with mess hanging over you for the day.
Hopefully these few tips will help lighten the load this Monday and in due course we'll all start enjoying Mondays much more. What are your tips for making the most of a Monday?

Las Perlas — the Nation's first Mezcal Bar — opened in March 2010 in the historic Sante Fe building at Sixth & Main in Los Angeles' lively Downtown neighborhood. This Oaxacan style cantina exists as a living tribute to Mexico's native spirit, Mezcal, with the finest selection of more than 400 premium agave spirits in the United States. Las Perlas cocktails arrive garnished with everything from wild hibiscus flowers to the Oaxacan delicacy of spicy, roasted chapulinas, while also offering ice cold Mexican cerveza.
Mezcal is the oldest distilled spirit in North America. Mezcal can only be distilled in Mexico and comes from the agave plant, also known as maguey.
Tequila, which is distilled from blue agave is technically a type of mezcal. The agave plant is a member of the Lily family and not a cactus. Mezcal can legally be made from 28 different varieties of agave. Each type of agave is distinct and most are not commercially available in the United States.
In Southern Mexican Villages (particularly in the State of Oaxaca) there is a high reverence for this magical liquid and its ceremonial, social and medicinal uses. There is tremendous pride in mezcal's power and its rich, smoky, sweet body.
Mezcals are distilled from the hearts of the agave plant. A palanquero, or agave producer, extracts the piña, or heart of the agave, which is quartered, then baked in underground ovens, then crushed and finally fermented.
Tequila and mezcal are both made from agave. All tequilas are mezcal, but not all mezcals are tequilas. Tequila was first produced in the late 18th Century when Jose Cuervo applied to the Spanish government for a permit to make "Mezcal de Tequila".
Plata (sotol & tequila) or Blanco (tequila) or Joven/Puro (mezcal) = freshly distilled and clear in color.
Reposado = rested in oak for less than a year.
Anejo = aged 1 year or longer in oak.
Mezcal can legally be produced in 7 states in Southern Mexico- the biggest producing State being Oaxaca. Tequila can legally be produced in 6-7 states in Northern Mexico, the biggest producing State being Jalisco. Mezcal is smokier tasting than Tequila. Mezcal is produced in small batches, roasting the agave in an earth oven. Tequila is typically made in large industrial batches, and is steamed, not roasted so there is a lack of the smokey complex flavor associated with mezcal.
Las Perlas serves mezcal and tequila produced at distilleries in four States within Mexico: Oaxaca(mezcal), Chihuahua(mezcal), Jalisco (tequila) and Tamaulipas (tequila). Within Oaxaca there are multiple small villages that make the best and purest mezcal that we have tasted. As more mezcal becomes commercially available in the United States we will carry many more products from small village and artisanal producers within multiple regions of Mexico.
Down in Mexico, spirit experts test the purest mezcal by looking for 'las perlas', or the pearls, a type of foam that forms when shaking the spirit slightly. While traveling in Oaxaca, Cedd and Raul, decided to name the bar Las Perlas in honor of the quality and beautiful pearls produced when shaking this magical spirit.
The small-batch artisan-crafted mezcals and tequilas served at Las Perlas–considered the finest in the world–reflect extraordinary quality, purity and nuance.
Yup, in pre-Columbian Mexico she's called Mayahuel, and one of her children is called Centzon Totochtin (400 Rabbits to you gringos) who's considered responsible for drunkenness. So there, now you know who to blame.
Adding a gusano, or worm to mezcal is a marketing sham created years ago to sell inferior, mass produced mezcal to unsuspecting tourists and American consumers. Since Las Perlas not only respects mezcal, but also its clientele, it refuses to sell such swill.
The ritual toast for mezcal reflects the ancient beliefs that still cling to its use:
Arriba (above), abajo (below), al centro (the center), para dentro ( for within)…

When I get dressed in the morning I wear something that is suitable to my mood & the weather of course, this extends all the way down to my underwear. When I go out & see how some people dress I often think clearly they didn't have the same thing in mind!
For example its freezing outside at the moment & whilst yes love you are wearing leggings not quite sure how you think they are gonna keep you warm the fact that they are see through. Besides that I can see your whole arse (not the actual hole of course) & you are clearly wearing NO underwear - WHY, why would you leave the house in broad day light dressed like that?? You could of at least got a cheese wire G string & made some effort.
I mean its not like there is no chose out there, variety is everywhere & most definitely the spice of life in this case. I'm not saying OMG its cold so you must get your biggest ever Bridget Jones' out but goodness don't these girls feel a chill on the cheeks.
There are all types of knickers for all types of occasions so I don't feel there is any need to go commando these days. Hell even if you wanna go out with your man for spontaneous sex there are even crotchless pants so he doesn't even have to go to the effort of sliding them to one side, he can just bend you over & away you go.
There are G strings & thongs to just cover the front enough to leave what is underneath to the imagination (unless you haven't waxed!!). French knickers to add a bit of sophistication but be sexy at the same time (personally a fav of mine). Shorts which I would say are mainly for comfort & relaxing in, unless you wear them under one of his office shirts - could get the pulse racing. The good old fashioned brief which isn't quite as big as Bridgets but again are for comfort or for when that monthly un-wanted visitor pays a visit. Finally there is the big old control high brief, something that does look like it will pop your ribs but does what it says on the tin - sucks it all in & from personal experience they do work (could still do with sucking even more in but hey some is better than none).
****All knickers featured in this post can be found by visiting my mate Ann (Summers of course) - links found at the top of the blog****

The Quilt Shop Cuckoo Clock
This is the clock that started it all!
Made in Germany its the real thing! And it's animated: The cuckoo's call triggers the quilter to cut and the kitty to jump with joy! It's the perfect quilt for quilters!
Crafted to resemble quaint buildings, the cuckoo clocks Jodie Davis collected over the years made her long for one designed after one of her favorite places: a quilt shop. Her dream became a reality when she contacted the Schneider Cuckoo Clock Company of Schonach Germany. She pitched her crazy idea and they said go!
Like every cuckoo clock, on the hour and half hour the cuckoo emerges to proclaim the time. But on this clock the cuckoo precipitates a chain of actions. The quilter's arm moves to rotary cut the fabric painted on the table, the kitty jumps up and down on a stack of fabric bolts and a chimney sweep pops out of the chimney.
The clock's pendulum is, naturally, a spool of thread.
Jodie designed the quilts by the door of the clock using Electric Quilt 5. She scanned and emailed catalog images of a rotary cutter and fabric bolts to help the sculptors in Germany carve the props.
Hand made in the heart of the Black Forest, this limited edition quilt shop cuckoo clock is created by skilled craftspeople, with some of the stages of manufacture taking place in their homes as has been the tradition for over a hundred of years.

Details About Jodie's Quilt Shop Cuckoo Clock
- Authentic Black Forest Cuckoo Clock made by the oldest manufacturer in Germany
- Hand carved quilter, kitty, fabric bolts and thread spool pendulum.
- Animation: On the hour and half hour the cuckoo pops out of his door and sings, the quilter rotary cuts fabric, the kitty jumps up and down on the fabric bolts, and the chimney sweep peeks up from inside the chimney.
- Lever silences the cuckoo
- Instructions for setting up and caring for the clock are included
- Two year warranty
- The pendulum is a hand painted spool of thread
- Made by a 150 year-old company in the Black Forest
- Measures 10″ W x 12″ T x 6.5″ D minus pendulum and weights
- Brass 1-day movement – Wind once a day *See 8-Day Option
- Pine cone cast weights
- Made by hand in a small factory in Germany, the clocks are the real thing!
- $395 plus shipping ($16 Priority Mail within the Continental U.S. For other locations email [email protected] for a shipping quote.)
1-Day versus 8-Day
The Quilt Shop Cuckoo Clock is now available with 8- as well as 1- day movements!
With a 1-day movement, the clock will run for a day on one winding.
An 8-day movement will run for a week on one winding.
The 8-day clock has a different movement than the 1-day and larger, heavier weights. The cost is an additional $150. You can choose either option below. I try to keep several 8-days in stock at all times. If I don't have one the lead time is 4 weeks so check with me via email at [email protected] if you need the clock immediately.
Brown or Salt & Pepper Hair
You can now order the Quilt Shop Cuckoo Clock as-is, with blonde hair, or brown hair…
… or with salt & pepper hair. You'll be offered those options on the order page.
Please don't tell Comet that it took me so long, but after a number of requests I had Lance carve a dog for the clock. (Any likeness to Comet is purely coincidental.) You can now order the clock with either a kitty or a dog.
No Harley, no Delight, a horse won't fit there. Just wait, you'll get your own clock!

Friday, 05 March 2010 08:36 AM
The unemployment rate held at 9.7 percent in February as employers shed fewer jobs than expected, evidence that the job market may be slowly healing.
The Labor Department said employers cut 36,000 jobs, below analysts' expectations of 50,000. Analysts expected the jobless rate to rise to 9.8 percent.
The severe snowstorms that hammered the East Coast last month may have affected job losses, but the department wouldn't quantify the impact.
Other data in the report signaled the storms didn't have as much impact as feared.
Economists estimated before the report that the storms could inflate job losses by 100,000 or more. That would mean the economy generated a net gain in jobs last month, excluding the impact of the snow, for only the second time since the recession began in December 2007.
That doesn't mean the report that the Labor Department releases Friday will be dismissed. Economists expect to dig beneath the headline numbers to try to isolate underlying trends.
But given the intense interest in jobs among policymakers, economists and the public, the distortions come at an unfortunate time.
"It's a shame you won't get a clean reading ... when the sustainability of the recovery is uppermost on people's minds," said John Canally, an economist at LPL Financial.
Overall, economists forecast the unemployment rate will rise to 9.8 percent in February from 9.7 percent, according to Thomson Reuters. Employers are expected to shed 50,000 jobs, though that includes the snow impact.
The unemployment rate is less likely to be distorted by the weather, economists say. The reason is that it will count the workers who stayed home because of snow as employed. The jobless rate is likely to rise because companies are still reluctant to hire.
"It's hard to believe that the unemployment rate is falling when we're not creating jobs yet," said Conrad DeQuadros, an economist at RDQ Economics.
If job losses are artificially inflated in February, employment should snap back in March as hiring that was delayed takes place and workers return to jobs. That is what has happened after previous weather disruptions. In February 1996, for example, the nation posted robust job gains, a month after a severe snowstorm.
On Thursday, the economy showed renewed strength as retail sales surged last month and factory orders also increased. Such gains could lead to more hiring in coming months — if they can be sustained.
Retailers said Thursday that store sales rose in February by the largest amount since November 2007. And orders to U.S. factories in January posted their sharpest rise in four months, the Commerce Department said. It was another sign that manufacturing is helping drive the economic recovery.
The upbeat reports followed other encouraging signs this week: The service sector grew last month at its fastest pace in more than two years, according to a private survey of purchasing executives released Wednesday. And a similar survey on Monday found that manufacturers are also growing.
Still, jobs are the big unknown. First-time claims for jobless benefits remain elevated, despite a drop last week. The Labor Department said Thursday that initial claims for unemployment aid fell by 29,000 to a seasonally adjusted 469,000 last week. But that drop only partly reversed a sharp rise in claims since the year began.
The four-week average of weekly claims, which smooths volatility, fell to 470,750. Yet that's still above the 425,000 level that economists say claims need to fall below to signal hiring.
"This level of claims is still discouragingly high and is not consistent with private-sector job growth," Zach Pandl, an economist at Nomura Securities, wrote in a research note.
One way that companies can raise output without adding jobs is to squeeze more production from their existing staff. The Labor Department said in a separate report Thursday that productivity rose by 6.9 percent in the fourth quarter. And labor costs fell at a 5.9 percent rate.
Few economists expect the outsize productivity gains to continue. Productivity typically rises about 2 percent a year. For all of 2009, productivity rose 3.8 percent. If those productivity gains slow and consumer and business demand rises, hiring should follow.
"Businesses cannot meet demand requirements with their current staff levels," Carl Riccadonna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, wrote in a research note. "If demand continues to increase, then a surge in hiring is highly likely in the relatively near term."
A still-weak housing market is weighing on the recovery in the meantime. The number of people who agreed to buy a home fell sharply in January. The report Thursday from the National Association of Realtors said demand for housing fell as stormy weather slammed Eastern states.

So there's been a lot of talk about weight and how people look as far as the term beauty comes to mind. Well I'm here to tell you that no matter what your size your still beautiful! "We only have one body, love the one your in!" Because we are all beautiful and we should let someone bring us down and tell us we're not. I know, I know this sounds like I'm all talk and no bite . . . well think again! I'm going to show you how beautiful I am and how beautiful the people i admire the most are and tell me if you see the difference in beauty. Because I sure don't!
First up if my friend and role model Ania Chanelle! I've know her for almost 2 years now and watching her grow as a high fashion model makes my heart sore with each passing day! She has been in magazines and rock the run way with her own look and style and I love it. Not only is she beautiful on the out side but on the inside as well! That heart of gold sometimes makes me wanna cry *sniffles* ANYWAY!!! LOL If you notice she has a great figure and shes very healthy. So what does that have to do with difference in size? Well take a look at me for instance . . .
I have bumps, pimples, scares and bruises, not to mention I weigh a little more than the average person does. But to me I look beautiful and will rock any look I can to show off what I got! Being told I'm not as beautiful as other people is just down right wrong and I wont accept that as long as I live!! Another person to stand up for herself is the awesome and most inspiring Tess Holliday!
She's also been one of the greatest inspiration of my life!! with the #EffYourBeautyStandards she has taken beauty to another level and shown it to the world as one of the first plus size models to ever hit the magazines!! So You know what love who you are!! . . . .Still not convinced? watch the video below and tell me what you think after that!

Aberdeen set for Scottish League Cup trophy parade
Aberdeen FC will parade the Scottish League Cup trophy through the city next Sunday afternoon.
Tens of thousands of fans travelled to Glasgow for the 4-2 penalty shoot out victory over Inverness.
The open-top bus parade will start at 13:00 at Albyn Place, and go along Union Street to the Town House.
Aberdeen Lord Provost George Adam believes the parade will give the whole city the chance to celebrate the team's success.
He said: "We've waited a long time to see another open-top bus parade down Union Street. It's great that we can keep this tradition alive and give the whole Red Army the chance to see their heroes with the trophy.
"If the size of the support at the cup final is anything to go by I am sure we are going to see an enormous and very noisy crowd cheering the team through the centre of Aberdeen."
'Celebrate together'
He added: "There were lots of sore heads and hoarse throats on Monday morning, but the result was worth every single one of them.
"This is another opportunity to give the fans a chance to celebrate together."
After a special meeting, Aberdeen City Councillors agreed that up to £25,000 from the city's Common Good Fund should be made available to fund the parade which marks the team's first major silverware in 19 years.
Meanwhile, club chairman Stewart Milne told BBC Scotland that he believes the Pittodrie club are on the verge of plenty of success.
He said: "I think we've got a special manager and a great management team.
"They're starting to build a team that's hopefully going to take us back to the right end of Scottish football."
Police Scotland praised both sets of fans.
Ch Supt Adrian Watson, north lead for match commanders, said: "The overwhelming majority of fans behaved absolutely impeccably and were a credit to their teams."

When North of England social housing company Gentoo Group acquired specialist glass processor and photovoltaic manufacturer Romag, the priorities for the new management team were clear: re-engage staff, re-open the factory – and put in place a comprehensive new ERP system, in order to put the business on a sound financial footing, going forward.
"Under our previous ownership, there had been a lack of visibility," says 'Dex' Rimington, Consett, County Durham-based Romag's systems coordinator. "We'd been using an old DOS-based system, which was no longer supported, and not fit for purpose."
It was clear, too, that a number of operational improvements could be made. On-time delivery, for instance, was an important business requirement, and was one where the business's performance left something to be desired.
For as well as solar photovoltaic glass and glass for transport applications, a product range of architectural and security glass is a major line of business for the company – including bullet-proof glass, and blast-resistant glass utilising glass polycarbonate laminating technology. And with specialist teams of third-party installation contractors pre-positioned on building sites ready to install Romag's glass the moment it arrived, the ability to promise a reliable delivery date – and keep to it – was an important competitive differentiator.
"There wasn't really a formal production planning system," explains Rimington. "We were relying on the experience of long-serving staff in order to schedule production and promise deliveries to customers: it was all based on 'gut feel' and experience, rather than on a detailed understanding of the factory's workload and each customer order's individual work content."
And so, in summer of 2011, Romag's management team began surveying the ERP market, looking for a solution that would be a good fit for their needs. What's more, stresses Rimington, those needs were fairly precisely specified.
Glass processing, he explains, is a fairly specialised business, and obviously the solution selected would need to be able to conform to the business's technical requirements in this respect. Just as important, though, was the calibre of the ERP vendor in question, and the skills and capabilities of the implementation partner selected to deliver the solution.
"We had some very specific questions to ask of each potential supplier," says Rimington. "How long had they been in the ERP business? What was the technology roadmap? And how was the product supported? And all of that was before getting into the specifics of how the solution addressed our particular manufacturing requirements, and what benefits we could expect."
Similarly, he relates, a separate set of questions probed the capability and suitability of potential implementation partners.
"Again, it was important to go with a business that had been around for a long time, and which showed every sign of continuing in business for the foreseeable future: longevity was very important to us. And then, we wanted to establish how much experience they had of working with our kind of manufacturing operation, the support that they offered, and how in particular they went about the implementation process."
By September 2011, the decision had been reached. The solution selected: Microsoft Dynamics AX , implemented by Columbus, a 'Top 3' world-leading specialist in implementing Dynamics AX in manufacturing industry, with more than 6,000 successful implementations over a 22-year history.
And it soon became clear, says Rimington, that the combination of Columbus and Dynamics AX was a solution that was readily capable of exceeding expectations. Yes, Dynamics AX would deliver solid functionality in respect of sales order processing, financial accounting and production planning and scheduling – but undeniably, it also turned out to be able to neatly solve a number of other headaches that troubled the business.
"As our implementation team began working with their counterparts within Romag's management, we quickly saw other opportunities to add value," says Columbus project manager Rosalind Dechant. "Month-end accounting was labour-intensive, for instance, material shortages were a problem, and work-in-progress tracking was a challenge."
What's more, she adds, actionable management information was in short supply – holding out the prospect that Dynamics AX's embedded analytic and reporting tools could deliver valuable business intelligence to in order to boost productivity, profitability, and material utilisation.
And so it has proved, says Rimington, with the new system going live in July 2012, after a short but intensive implementation process, structured around Columbus' proprietary implementation methodology SureStep+.
"Yes, the timescale was tight," concedes Rimington. "And did we get every last detail correct, down to the very last bill of material? No: in any implementation, there will always be small niggles remaining after you've gone 'live'. But the bigger picture was about putting in place a controlled manufacturing process, alongside back office functions to match – and there, we've been extremely successful."
And what of the system's ROI? It is, as yet, too early to say.
"The approach that we've taken is to provide the business with much-needed functionality, rather than trying to calculate savings," he concludes. "There have been savings, and we'll calculate them in due course. But the bigger benefits are clear: how do you put a value on reliable delivery dates, financial accounting, and instant visibility into work-in-progress?"

Really Bad Dandruff
Treating Dandruff
Dandrugg Shampoos
Dry Scalp Shampoo
What Causes and How to Treat Dandruff
Really bad dandruff is most often characterized by large, unsightly flakes with itching of the scalp. When you have very bad dandruff symptoms, the itching can be painful and the flakes can be more than embarrassing, although you will not lose hair because of dandruff. Some factors can put you more at risk for dandruff like being male, being a young adult, having a poor diet, having an oily scalp and/or oily hair, and certain diseases.
It really depends on the cause of your dandruff that relates to what you should do to treat your dandruff. The causes of dandruff can be a fungus, not shampooing often enough, dry skin, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis.
Really bad dandruff can be caused by the yeast-like fungus, malassezia. Even the healthiest person has malassezia on their scalp. It is when this fungus grows rapidly and out of control that dandruff forms. What happens is the fungus eats the oil naturally secreted by your scalp causing irritation on the skin. This is turn causes more cells to grow, however these cells die and stick together. When they combine with oil, they turn the unsightly white color. Many things can cause an overgrowth of malassezia including hormones, stress, too much oil from not shampooing often enough, genetics or sensitivity to the fungus, Parkinson's disease, and a weakened immune system.
If you do not shampoo often enough, then your dandruff symptoms could be caused by your skin cells and oil build up. All you will need to do is start washing regularly to see if your dandruff symptoms clear up.
Dry skin that you can get with seasonal changes can contribute to the formation of dandruff. Typically, these flakes are less noticeable and smaller than dandruff caused by other conditions. This is also the most common type of dandruff and usually occurs during winter when dry skin is prevalent.
Seborrheic dermatitis, or oily and irritated skin, is characterized by greasy, red scalp with flaking white or yellowish scales. While one of the more common causes of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis will also affect the sides of your nose, eyebrows, groin area, backs of the ears, breastbone, and armpits. It literally will affect any where oil glands are plentiful.
More Causes of Really Bad Dandruff
Eczema of the scalp can cause dandruff, and so can psoriasis. Psoriasis causes an amassing of dead skin cells that from the thick, scaly lesions that can affect the scalp, as well as the more common places like the knees, elbows, and trunk. Obviously, the eczema or psoriasis will need to be controlled before an improvement in your dandruff symptoms will be noticed.
Contact dermatitis, or sensitivity to hair products, can also be a cause of dandruff. Usually the symptoms will include red, itchy, scaly scalp. It can occur from over shampooing or using harsh chemical hair products or too many styling products. The irritation of your scalp is what ultimately causes dandruff.
If you are suffering from really bad dandruff, you will most likely want to see your doctor, so he or she can assess the cause of your dandruff and treat it effectively by simply looking at your scalp. If you know you don't wash your hair often or are using too much styling products, try washing more often or using less styling products first. If in a week it doesn't clear up, then see your doctor. You may also want to bring your shampoo and styling products with you to the doctor to assess if any are the cause of your dandruff.
Really bad dandruff can be controlled with proper dandruff treatment. There are many different shampoos on the market and some available in prescription strengths if over-the-counter brands do not work. A lot of times it is a matter of trial and error to see what products work for you.
Some types to consider are tar-based shampoos like Neutrogena T-Gel, containing coal tar, which helps slow and controls how quickly your skin cells die and flake off on your scalp. In less severe cases, dandruff can usually be controlled through regular or more frequent washings with a gentle shampoo.
Another dandruff shampoo to consider using for the treatment of your dandruff is one that contains selenium sulfide, like Selsun Blue. These also aid in controlling how quickly skin cells die and flake off, but they might help in controlling scalp fungus as well. Caution should be used and direction should be followed exactly with this active ingredient, because if they are not, selenium sulfide can lead to hair discoloration in chemically treated, blond, or gray hair.
Shampoos containing salicylic acid, like Ionil T, are also supposed to slough away the scales on the scalp, but can leave your scalp dry and more prone to flaking. With products like these, you should make sure to condition afterward.

Spring is just around the corner, which means fun nights at the ball park with friends, family, and your favorite lawn chair! Ball season means time for making new friends, learning new skills, and enjoying the greatest game every played! So, what is so special about CP&R's baseball, softball, and t-ball programs? Here are eight reasons your family will have a ball with is this Spring!
8. Facilities. CP&R features some of the most award winning facilities in the country at Heritage Park and the Field of Miracles. In 2013, both of these parks were recognized nationally by the United States Specialty Sports Association as the number one complex of the year. Our staff take pride in our facilities and strive to ensure that the parks are in premium condition for all Spring ball games.
7. Experienced Coaches. CP&R seek out the best coaches in the area! All of the CP&R volunteer coaches are instructed by college and high school coaches on drills, practice layouts, technique, and game strategy. Over 70% of coaches are returning from years past and committed to teach young athletes the basics of the game.
6. Full service concession stands for athletes and spectators. A night at the ball park isn't complete without a Coke, hotdog, and a box of popcorn! CP&R offer the best concessions options for busy families that need to eat an affordable and quick dinner before games. Our concession stands also offer your athletes favorite snacks, such as: PowerAde, sunflower seeds, and Double Bubble. You won't have to make a special stop by the store before arriving to the games. We have everything you need, on site!
5. Front row seats for the whole family. The Heritage Park and Field of Miracles complexes feature large sections of bleachers on first and third base lines of the field. While some facilities feature outdated seating (or, none at all) we are proud that we can provide the best seats in the house for everyone!
4. Lifelong friendships are created for you and your child. Many friendships that have stood the test of time, started in the CP&R baseball and softball fields. These athletes will make friendships that will last throughout their time in school, and their athletic career. In addition, parents will also get to know one another better and create lasting relationships.
3. Youth athletics is one of the biggest ways to teach life skills. Teaching your child hard work, dedication, sharing, teamwork, and social skills can all take place on the ball field. Youth sports are sometimes a child's first experience playing on a team, and working together to achieve something bigger than themselves. The abundance of local parents, coaches, and staff positively impact youth to create the best experience and memories that can be taken away from the program.
2. Most competitive league in the area. The youth t-ball, softball, and baseball programs offer the most competitive leagues in the area. Some families drive almost an hour to play and participate in our leagues. Athletes that play with CP&R compete with some of the most competitive leagues in the state. These athletes will play more teams and undergo more strenuous training. If your child is looking to become a serious ball player, CP&R's leagues are where you want to be! The All-Star teams will provide opportunities at the end of the regular season to continue competing at the highest level.
1. It's fun for everyone! Who doesn't love getting out of the house and meeting up with friends and family to watch a ball game? Parents, family, and friends will love watching the competition progress through the season. Athletes will love playing the game and interacting with teammates. Heritage Park and the Field of Miracles offer an atmosphere that is fun for everyone, and will take you back in time and serve up a little bit of nostalgia!
Baseball, softball, and t-ball registration is now open online at cullmanrecreation.org, or at the Cullman Civic Center. Cost is $90 which includes a uniform, hat, and trophy at the end of the season. Boys and girls ages 4-14 can register through February 15th. Practices will begin in March with games starting in April. Don't miss out on this fun opportunity to make memories with the whole family! For any additional questions regarding registration, please call 256-734-9157.

In the old days the Dala horse was mostly used as a toy for children; in modern times it has become a symbol of Dalarna as well as Sweden in general. Several different types of Dala horses are made, with distinguishing features common to the locality of the site where they are produced. One particular style has, however, become much more common and widespread than others. It is stoutly carved and painted bright red with details and a harness in white, green, yellow and blue.

These photos were taken in Morocco at the end of 2010. Most of them were what I like to call "hip-shots," as tourists are often accosted by Moroccans into guilt-induced, monetary recompense for taking photographs (I sympathize with Moroccans who engage in this practice, as I wouldn't want tourists to unabashedly exoticize me, my environs, and culture). These hip-shots – photos surreptitiously taken as the camera dangles by one's side, without, needless to say, framing the shot through the viewfinder – appeal to me because they allow for unmatched, unsuspecting authenticity and candor.
Hip-shots contain less authorship, less performance, less mise-en-scène, less certainty. It is a gamble. There is only one opportunity to get a shot, and reviewing the photo is out of the question lest your cover is blown and/or the moment is forever lost. If the image is somewhat in-focus and decently exposed, if it is decently composed, and if the subject is compelling, the gamble could pay off. Most images, however, do not. Here are among the few that did.

Star Wars: Dawn of Darkness
Trandoshans are heavily built, bipedal reptilian humanoids hailing from the planet Trandosha in the Mytaranor sector. Though slow by comparison to baseline humans, Trandoshan's are substantially stronger and have the ability to regrow lost limbs. This strength and knack for perseverance have lead many Trandoshan's to become bounty hunters and soliders of fortune.
Transoshan's for generations have feuded with their close neighbours the Wookies, with many conflicts having occurred during these times. Trandoshan's currently enjoy warm relations with the Galactic Empire.
The most prominent Trandoshan the player party has met is Ssruzzz, a Nar Shadda based smuggler who helped sell off their seized merchandise at a reasonable price.

Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the
University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the
US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from
1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee
of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the
Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International
Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law
She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in
the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established
the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law
Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on
Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of
the American Branch of the International Law Association.
The World Bank is already notorious for its wide range of human rights violations, land-grab schemes,
environmental destruction and economic attacks on sovereign nations and
local communities. Hudes offers some additional details about what she
asserts is one single group controlling world financial markets
and media. She also offers names of people who were involved in
blackmail surrounding a 2007 prostitution scandal. Hudes has now been
charged by Attorney General Eric Holder with trespassing after being
arrested May 13th at an office of the World Bank.
It is worth noting that much of what Hudes discusses
from her perspective shows the level of compartmentalization that takes
place in large governmental organizations. For example, she states that
she believes the World Bank is "finally fulfilling its mandate" by
stopping the next world war. However, the deliberate destablization
campaigns with subsequent destruction and reconstruction projects, as
documented by other insiders such as John Perkins, call this idealistic
view into serious question. Hudes maintains that it is exactly this type
of corruption that is being rooted out, and why people like her are
being targeted.
Regardless of one's view of the World Bank as an institution, Hudes'
information highlights that there are people who get into this type of
work with good intentions, believing the propaganda they have been
given. At the very least, her assertion that there is a network of
insiders that will continue blowing the whistle about World Bank
corruption bears watching. Lastly, it is worth noting her comments on
the possibility of martial law in America and the steps being taken to
avoid it. Time will tell.

Dear Pat,
What is going on: the whole world is bringing the gold that was

ground. The Chinese bankers are in charge of this. http://www.courthousenews.com/2011/12/05/41930.htm These
Chinese bankers are now poised to reset the US dollar using this gold,
and they want to take over the government of our country, which has been
weakened, corrupted, and compromised by the owners of the Federal
We are facing martial law because we have not done what Hungary
did: kick out the Federal Reserve and the Bank for International
Settlements. http://the-tap.blogspot.com/2013/08/hungary-issues-debt-free-money.html
Look at page 16 of this http://kahudes.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/board-of-governors.pdf The man at the US Treasury whom I wrote about the corruption at the

Worldwide, an incredible tower of debt has been under construction
since 1971, when President Nixon defaulted on the gold obligations of
the US government. His decree severed the redeemability of the dollar
for gold and thus eliminated the extinguisher of debt. Debt has been
growing exponentially everywhere since then. Debt is backed with debt,
based on debt, dependent on debt, and leveraged with yet more debt. For
example, today it is possible to buy a bond (i.e. lend money) on margin
(i.e. with borrowed money).
The time is now fast approaching when all debt will be defaulted. In
our perverse monetary system, one party's debt is another's "money". A
debtor's default will impact the creditor (who is usually also a debtor
to yet other creditors), causing him to default, and so on. When this
begins in earnest, it will wipe out the banking system and thus
everyone's "money". The paper currencies will not survive this. We are
seeing the early edges of it now in the euro, and it's anyone's guess
when it will happen in Japan, though it seems long overdue already.
Last of all, it will come to the USA.
The purpose of this article is to present the early warning signal
and explain the actual mechanism to these events. Contrary to popular
belief, it will not be that the central banks increase the quantity of
money to infinity. The money supply may even be contracting (which is
what I expect).
To understand the terminal stages of the monetary system's fatal disease, we must understand gold.
Defining Backwardation
First, let me introduce a key concept. Most traders define
"backwardation" for a commodity as when the price of a futures contract
is lower than the price of the same good in the spot market.
In every market, there are always two prices for a good: the bid and
the ask. To sell a good, one must take the bid. And likewise, to buy
the good one must pay the ask. In backwardation, one can sell a
physical good for cash and simultaneously buy a futures contract, and
make a profit on the arbitrage. Note that in doing this trade, one's
position does not change in the end. One begins with a certain amount
of the good and ends (upon maturity of the contract) with that same
amount of the good.

Hei recieved his powers from his sister basically right around when she caused the explosion in South America and she basically died. The power was never his so he never had a renumeration for it.
Hei was killing contractors during the South American war because he was part of the Syndicate in order to protect his sister who was a contractor. He was actually called the Black Reaper before he even became a contractor.

I'm with everyone who thinks that Yin might be dead or lost in some other dimension. It's funny how bones made us wonder what happened to Bai in the first season. And now we are worrying about Yin, another person very important (like a sister) to Hei.
Was also happy to see Misaki. Misaki, if you see Hei, tell him to shave.

They did their very best to show how good Suou is at marksmanship.

Wow, Hei has some really slick moves.
Glad we have gotten more backstory, seems everyone is going after Suou thinking she is her brother. They should all be so lucky to find out the way Hei did
Im guessing Suou will offer sniper support for Hei as the season goes along.
I think the opening ROCKS
And Yin doesnt seem like shes going to come back in anything but flashbacks. That answers the question about where she was in episode 1.

And it seems like the OP/ED is growing on me. I like the songs alittle more now.
And while we see a glimpse of Yin, I was glad we saw a glimpse of Misaki at the end as well Guess she's still hung up on the guy after 2 years lol.
Another great episode is all I can say.
I'm definitely digging the new fight scene music.

Very good second episode I'd say and I like things so far though I hope the story stays good and everything. Anyway...
The opening wasn't bad I suppose. Not a huge fan of the song (doesn't exactly mesh with the show to me), but it's alright. Images didn't exactly show much though I did like the throwback to the first opening in season one with Hei walking back instead of forwards like last time. One thing that caught my eye was that the guy standing next to Shion looks like their dad to me so did he fake his death or something?
The fight in the beginning was pretty cool I thought and pretty much up to what I would expect of this show. Hei's knives look bigger to me for some reason, but then I don't really recall him using them extensively in combat. The bit with the voice telling Suou to run away was rather interesting since it's Mao's voice, but I'm not sure in what capacity he'll be appearing. He was with all the other dead people in that weird place Hei went to at the end of season one after all, but I suppose we'll see him again at some point. One thing I happened to notice during the fight was that on one side of Hei's neck there is what looks like a large scar so I'm wondering if we'll find anything out about that.
Regarding the trio of Hazuki, Shizume and Youko, I'm wondering if they might be our group who are sort of the more positive kind like November, April and July back in season one though it's too early to tell. I wouldn't be surprised if they died eventually, but I do hope they stick around for a while. Hazuki's renumeration scene was rather funny and it may be just me but there seems to be a bit more humor here than in the first show. Shizume seems like a fun characer too and I'm curious to see whether his ability extends to more than making that huge armor, though he's kind of creepy since he seems to have a thing for younger girls.
The mention of the ME Squeezer was interesting in that it seems it can run through and either copy or find information from the brain of a person even if they are dead. I'm somewhat curious to see the ME being used on someone since I don't believe we ever have unless the the time that one werid doctor got injected in the neck was the ME.
The CIA seem to be big players this time around (I can't quite recall whether they were a large presence or not before). The one woman Mr. Smith (nice to see his VA by the way and now we just need Wakamoto to show up) met seems familiar for some reason though I keep thinking she might be the teleporter from the first season. I'm somewhat surprised to find Hei in their employ since I'd think he wouldn't risk working for anyone lest the Syndicate have agents there, but there could perhaps be some reason for it I suppose. One thing that was quite interesting was that Hei claims Suou's father was already dead when he got there so unless he was lying (possible I suppose), something weird is going on.
The scene where Hei was trying to get Shion to hand over the meteor fragment was rather interesting I thought with all the questions she was asking and I'm rather curious to see why he thought of Yin. Maybe she wanted him to stop killing people or something?
August 7 ended up being a little more crazy than I was expecting though I thought the idea of his powers and renumeration to be pretty cool. He didn't really do much though beyond that trick with having things seeming to go right through him and returning the bullets, along with pulling those weapons out of no where, but other than that it didn't seem like he did all that much (though Hazuki's note of him distorting the area around him was rather interesting). Surprised to see him seemingly die so soon, unless he was pulling a trick there which Hei might have suspected since he was going to stab him despite electrocuting him. I have to say that the MI6 agents are all dropping pretty fast, which is unfortunate I guess though you can't really replace November 11.
The weird energy field at the end was new with what it did as was the little flash we got of Hei and Yin. I'm not quite sure if she's dead and hope not, but it's hard to really say so far. I'm just hoping she's not like Hei's sister was. Since I've read that the OVA episodes on the DVDs feature Hei and Yin between the two series, I suppose we won't get the full story until all are released.
The little scene with Misaki was nice (though sort of weird) and I'm curious as to what Hei's star fading but not falling may mean. I have to wonder if the idea proposed here about some aspect or all of Hei's power being transferred to Suou has any merit since her look at points in the opening reminds me of that cold, emotionless look displayed by some contractors. I rather hope not though since I'd rather have Hei keep his.
I'm assuming that Nika and Tanya will meet their end next week, though the scene with the two talking was interesting since Tanya didn't seem to be pushing away Nika as much as she did before. The final scene with the computer may be a display of that field being used on Hei and perhaps failing due to Hei's ability to alter molecules or particles or whatever it was.

The thing I'm really worried about is Hei loosing his abilities. It's not just super electricity altering material on quantic level, it's his only link to Bai. And like Amber said, Bai have been "in him" since he got the power. So I assume that the power is indeed Bai. That would mean, his sister "disappeared" for good.
It would be the reason the star faded away, as it would remained if it was just a transfer from Hei to Suou.

...I see it so far as a plot device, a restart at level one/bagofspilling so to speak for Hei and Suou who will need to cooperate with one another and support themselves in combat. Rather than it becoming a escort mission for Hei, with Suou being the damsel in distress (and everyone hates Escort missions!).
With that said chances are Hei will regain his powers after establishing the character relations at a typical critical moment or turning point after establishing who are enemies and allies, and some of the missing gaps in the series thus far.
Though, I'm rather not surprised to see Hei joining the CIA or some government branch. Though I'm questioning how the role Syndicate since we have a couple factions already fighting for Shion and the Meteor Core.

If he does lose them then that would be the thing to hope for. I do hope he gains more allies this time around though I suppose there is something kind of exciting about him and Suou doing it all alone. I see possibilities with the Japanese contractors though if they don't die and I wouldn't be surprised if Misaki helped out. Mao could also help if he can and I would definitely like to see Yin come back if that is even possible.
We never really got much info on the Syndicate I thought, other than that they had infiltrated pretty much every agency to some degree and had that huge plan to destroy all Contractors.
I'm curious what the fragment will end up being used for in the end. I'm thinking restoration of the real sky and perhaps all Contractors becoming normal people again in the best case scenario, but we'll see.

He loses his sister....again, plus Yin.
He needs a hug now.
I hope he keeps his powers but even without them, he has those mad ninja skills to kick butt with.

Submitted by Newseditor on Thu, 2016-01-07 12:57 Washington D.C.: A recent study has revealed that professional women can get more benefit from a better understanding of how to build, maintain and use their social capital to succeed in reaching the top. Researcher Natasha Abajian said that the access to social networks typically differs for men and for women. Usually, women have less access to networks typically associated with career progression. These networks or who you know and who knows you are responsible for a large percentage of career progression so limited access could be a barrier to women's opportunities. During the study, the researcher interviewed 12 women employed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Managing Director (MD) in the communications industry to explore their perceptions of social capital and how much they believed it was instrumental in helping their careers. The results showed that the women perceived their social capital to have contributed to their appointments. However, the findings of this study also revealed a difference in how the participants perceived their ability to build, maintain and use social capital and how they perceived women in general to do so. Abajian said she believes that this phrase, by depicting a single obstacle at a high level, fails to account for the subtle inequalities that arise throughout a career journey. The study was presented at the British Psychological Society's Division of Occupational Psychology annual conference in Nottingham. (ANI)

|16-year old Iquan Williams (source)
16-year old Iquan Williams was found shot in the head and killed, in Brooklyn, New York, in an apparenthomicide.
From an article:
Officials say they found Iquan Williams with a gunshot wound to the head in front of 1856 Prospect Place in Brownsville. Williams was unresponsive and declared dead on the scene by emergency responders.
The NYPD says an investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
Community leaders held a rally Sunday morning over Williams' death on the Brooklyn street where he was shot.
"We as a community can't let this be the norm for 2014," said Tony Herbert, a community leader, in a statement. "We have to stand together and be very clear in saying that this is not going to be another year of senseless gun violence where innocent lives will lost.".

Everybody need to visit
It is located on the edge of
the "Garbage City" in Cairo,
close to the Citadel.
This is a family business,
at least two generations
works here.
We were here first time in March 2012,
and today we were
welcomed back.
Mohamed is a happy guy,
and a good sales man.
He will welcome you to the shop!
The factory has also two outlets in Maadi,
one at road 9 and one at road 231.
The factory has a large show room.
Table lamps, chandlers, sconces,
vases, jars, soap dishes and more.
The Alabaster shows its real beauty
as soon as it is held up
against the light.
The floor lamp above went home with us,
among a few other things.
The alabaster rocks gets transferred
in to pieces of art.
The workers are doing a fantastic job!
Every rock is beautiful polished
to perfection.
Happy faces all the way around..
Outside on the street
I met these cute girls and their younger brother.
They were practicing their English
and asked to be photographed.
Hope you enjoyed the trip.
Have a great day!
