Copernic Desktop Search 3.0 Home (Free) Version gone to the dogs!!
I loved Copernic Desktop Search v2.3. It was better than Google, or Windows, or even X1. Anyhow, they've just released version 3.0 and they've taken back what has been given for free in previous versions. No more search as you type, or saving searches, for instance. And the biggie is that they're making the free version adware! Absolute Nonsense! Anyhow, I would suggest finding version 2.3 on one of those old version download sites and downloading that until something better comes along. Copernic, you're on the wrong track. Taking back features in an upgrade is pretty bad practice. Obviously greed is overtaking common sense. Why not just make the Pro version so much better that previous Home version users will gladly shell out the $50? It puts a bad taste in user's mouths and makes you not want to go Pro even if you might otherwise have. Anyhow, sticking with version 2.3 until something better comes along. Copernic Desktop Search 3.0 Review

+1 on that! They even took back the networked drives index function! Too bad for a home user that has a NAS or two. "He's not the messiah, he's just a naughty naughty boy".

My very first comment! :) I guess I should do some more posting. I switched to the Macbook and searching is better although searching within files has a long way to go. There is a little program for this called Spotinside, which is great.

Sounds Of Summer Concert @ The British International School Budapest
- 13 Jun 2018 9:15 AM
Sarah James, Director of Performing Arts at BISB told XpatLoop, "Stage Stars took us on an adventure to find the "ultimate treasure". We had some lively numbers from both Primary and Secondary Rock Bands.
Our Orchestra performed one of our Juilliard Core Works, Beethoven's 5th Symphony. The Jazz Band entertained us with some Stevie Wonder and the Senior Vocal Group blew us away with their tight vocal harmonies.
I want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of the students who performed at our Summer Concert. We have grown as a Performing Arts department this year and Community Choir of students, staff and parents are raising the bar with every performance they give. I am incredibly proud of all of them."

Located at the very 'in' section of Surry Hills' Crown Street, the no-bookings policy remains for dinner at the modern Japanese restaurant, which spawned the market for contemporary, high-end peers like Sake and Sokyo.
|Toko, Crown Street, Surry Hills
The (relatively) old girl has still got it, with both occasion and out-of-town diners mixing it with Surry Hills locals. The Monday night vibe was not unlike a regular Thursday or Friday night vibe, such was the atmosphere and sophisticatedly simple interior.
|Spicy edamame - fried soy beans, chilli sauce
Served chilled, the gently dry sake went down easy, especially with the spicy edamame soy beans which were liberally tossed in a hot, garlicky chilli sauce.
|Sake no miso tarutaru - salmon tartare, wasabi miso, lotus root chips
I can see why Toko's tasting menus would be popular choices, but I persevered with a la carte selections like the salmon tartare; a petite bowl of diced raw salmon in a wasabi and miso based dressing with just the right amount of bite.
Crispy, starchy lotus root chips were used as delicate, hole-ridden crackers to carry the salmon tartare, becoming a textural contrast and delight.
Further adding to the satisfaction was that the salmon tartare is Toko's 'OzHarvest seasonal dish'; an initiative where $2 from every tartare sold is donated to not-for-profit food rescue organisation, OzHarvest. That's feel-good eating at its finest.
|Tai no sashimi to karikari buta - thinly sliced wild snapper, truffle oil, pork crackling
While the pork crackling brought additional textural and flavour dimensions to classic sashimi, the truffle oil somewhat overpowered the delicate white fish.
|Wagyu no nigiri - seared wagyu beef nigiri, eschallots, chives
Presented with a light brush of soy, we weren't afraid to add more soy and wasabi to the beef which, in this format, I had expected to be more buttery soft that it was.
|Watari-gani no karaage - crispy soft-shell crab, wasabi mayonnaise
I noted that our whole tempura crab had soft-shelled, edible claws, which is probably the first time I've ever seen them despite many a soft-shell crab consumed.
|Shiitake no hachimitsu fuumi - Japanese mushroom skewers, soy honey butter
For each serving, two skewers of the assorted mushrooms were grilled at relatively low heat, then brushed with soy and honey butter, served with zingy, seasoned and grated daikon white radish topped with chives. Not simple by any means, but a dish loved by omnivores and herbivores alike.
|Tebasaki - chicken wings, Java curry salt, lime
|Negima yakitori - skewered chicken, spring onions, shichimi pepper
The densely-skewered chicken wasn't dry nor juicy; hiding beneath a surface of deliciously caramelised, sweet yakitori sauce.
|Yaki onigiri nasu miso zoe - barbequed rice skewers, eggplant shiitake miso
|Sake no aburi yaki - smoked miso king salmon, house pickled ginger
It was fish perfection with crisp skin and fatty salmon flesh flaking softly to combine with the creamy yellow miso puddle, while the thin slices of house pickled ginger were the perfect foil for the rich, fatty fish.
|Amiyaki ro-su niku no wafu sauce - scotch fillet steak, wafu sauce, garlic chips
|Coconattu pannacotta - coconut pannacotta, strawberry, coconut foam
|Coconut pannacotta
|The robabta grill

WARREN, NJ - Much of the talk yesterday at various events around town was of the Super Bowl, the logistics of getting there, and the controversial ads. But not surprising given Warren's love of animals, it was also of the Puppy Bowl.
Who will win the LombarkyTrophy?
The Puppy Bowl is an annual television program on Animal Planet that mimics a football bowl game similar to the Super Bowl, using puppies. Shown each year on Super Bowl Sunday, the show consists of footage of puppies at play inside a model stadium, with commentary on their actions. The first Puppy Bowl was shown on February 6, 2005.
All of the puppies, about 80 a year, come from shelters across the country, and the show boasts a 100 percent adoption success rate. Animal Planet worked with 44 different animal shelters and rescue organizations from across the U.S. to fill the rosters of #TeamRuff and #TeamFluff with adoptable players.
So what time does the Puppy Bowl start? Puppy Bowl XIII will take place on Sunday, Feb. 4 at 3 p.m. on Animal Planet.
The network also is partnering with the Pro Football Hall of Fame to introduce the Puppy Bowl Hall of Fame to highlight the importance of adult-pet adoption.
Viewers interested in learning more about the organizations that participated in PUPPY BOWL XIII can visit the Pet Adoption Resources page.
And a nod to a great commercial featuring a puppy

Anyway, I forced myself to play something last night just so that I didn't spend another evening regretting not doing so. Since my Epic 40K stuff was still around after our recent camping trip, I set up a 24AP HOTT game - Space Marines vs Chaos.
I selected the makeup of each army randomly, assigning each a core force of 12AP of troops, then grouping some remaining elements into six groups of 4AP each and dicing for which three the army would get.
The Marines got 8 Blades (including the general), covering the Marines, Terminators and Dreadnoughts, plus two Knights (Land-Raiders) and a Hero (Chaplain). Chaos (represented by the forces of Slaanesh, in their fetching hot pink), got a God (Greater Demon), a Behemoth (Hellstrider), two Blades (Chaos Marines), four Hordes (Beastmen, Cultists and Traitor Guard), two Riders (Beasts of Slaanesh) and a Magician General (Chaos Sorcerer)
The Marines defended. I used terrain placement derived from DBA 3.0 and got an odd setup with four small areas of bad going along one diagonal - fields at one end and woods at the other. The Forces of Slaanesh found themselves attacking through the woods.
They quickly slipped the Riders through, hoping to harass the Marine's flank whilst the rest of the army came up. The Marines moved up the Land-Raiders to cover this attack.
They engaged.
Traitor Guard moved through the woods in support, as the Greater Demon of Slaanesh arrived.
The Marines had been doing well until the Demon arrived, but this changed. The hideous creature set to work dismembering the Imperium's elite.
The woods were creating a command issue for the Chaos troops, so the Sorcerer entered the fray directly, as it was now obvious that what was originally the diversionary attack was, in fact, going to be the main action.
The Sorcerer destroyed a Land-Raider as the Marines tried to form a line to meet the Chaos attack. They held some Marines in reserve in the centre, since Chaos had troops ready to advance on their stronghold if a gap were left. In the distance the Dreadnoughts and some marines faced what was actually a diversion; the Hellstrider.
The Hellstrider attacked the Dreadnoughts and destroyed them before the supporting Marines could swing onto its flank.
The Demon was now engaged with the Chaplain in a titanic, but fruitless, struggle. This continued until the Chaos Sorcerer blasted the Chaplain with eldritch energies, ensorcelling him.
The Marines were in trouble. They formed a new line, but the Demon, unwilling to quit the battle because of the fun it was having, was behind it in a moment. The Marines awaited the onslaught of the other Chaos troops ...
... but the battle was lost on the other flank as the Hellstrider and Marines fought in the fields. The Marines were wiped out and the rest of the army broke.
This was the end. The only permanent Chaos losses were an element of Riders. Some Hordes were destroyed, but quickly replaced. The Marines lost their Chaplain, the Dreadnoughts, a Land-Raider and two elements of Marines.
As with many games featuring one, the battle hinged on the God and the fact that it never went away. They are not that good at killing elements directly, but they can pin powerful enemy elements in stalemated combats or block recoils of less powerful ones, allowing other troops to secure the victory. The fact that the Marines army was extremely heavy on Blades also didn't help, as it left them too slow to respond to the rapidly developing Chaos attack on their flank.

After some discussion she offered to sell the code top me for 10000 lindens. OMG... I sent her some links and she read them and still don't like to give me access to the product I bought for less that 10000 lindens extra. She is clear violation of the GPL. The GPL v2 (original of the ZHAO) states:
3. You may copy and distribute the Program
(or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms
of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also
do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for
at least three years, to give any third party,
for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete machine-
readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as
to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer,
in accord with Subsection b above.)
Either of these three offers are there. There was no code in the product, if was locked, there was no such offer in the readme file, I only got an offer that she sell me the code for 10000 lindens extra. She now tries to clam her cost for "physically performing source distribution" is 10000 lindens because she refused to do this and this too her so long time.

Bigg Boss 9 Weekend Episode 7 Dec 2015 2 New Wild Cards Suyyash Keith Lust Test Digangana gets Eliminated :- The time has arrived for the 8th week eviction in Bigg Boss 9 but this time the elimination process is going to be something different as someone from Suyyash Rai or Digangana Suryavanshi will come out of the house but not on the basis of Public votes as housemates votes will decide who will stay and who will go out.
Bigg Boss 9 Sunday 7 Dec 2015 Written
In this week's Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 9 host Salman Khan grilled the housemates once again. He teases Prince by saying that What does happen if his brother (Suyyash) gets evicted today on which Kishwer interfered and replied that his eviction will effect her a lot and to this Salman said he don't think so as according to him Kishwer can survive without Suyyash but Prince will get handicapped.
Salman also made some fun of Priya Malik and his nose and ear piercings which she was wearing to look different from other.
Salman then introduced the two new wild card contestants of Bigg Boss 9 which were Nora Fatehi & Gizele Thakral and he has a light chit chat session with them on stage.
Nora Fatehi on Bigg Boss 9 Weekend Ka Vaar with Salman Khan
Gizele Thakar with Salman Khan on Bigg Boss 9 Weekend Ka Vaar
Salman Khan then asked its time for a Sach Ka Saamna (Lie Detection test) for the housemates
Kanwaljeet during Lie-Detection Test says that going by Rochelle's personality he feels that she did not deserve the Miss India' title.
Salman asks Keith if he thinks Rochelle has become arrogant/ haughty? Keith said yes, green light Blinks
Salman asks Prince if he thinks Suyyash can't survive in house for much time? Prince said yes, green light Blinks.
Salman asks Priya if she thinks Kishwer can't survive on her own in the house? Priya said yes, green light Blinks.
Salman asked Keith and Suyyash to go inside the green room where a lust test was being organised for them. A hot girl came dancing on Ang Laga De Re to seduce both of them while Kishwer and Rochelle were watching from outside.
Now the time has come for eviction Salman introduced this week's twist as he asked the contestants to vote who they wanted to get evicted from the Bigg Boss 9 house.
Most of the housemates voted Digangana Suryavanshi for the eviction and she gets eliminated.

Change – By Wayne Parker
This is my column for the month of January 2015 but it should have been m feature for December 2014. It's interesting to find that I had to change my game plan on the month we explored change. LOL And now without further ado:
By definition: To make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone:
I can undoubtedly remember as a child in my single digit years listening to my dad and his brother talking about a comic book, 'Buck Rogers, adventure in outer space.' They used to read this borrowed comic book back in the 1930's and thought this to be total fantasy. The story related to Buck Rogers traveling to the moon and other planets.
The same conversation and story cropped up between them in the later sixties and the new ending was that times certainly do change. They had already put humans on the moon.
If society is to move forward we must have change.
Recently NASA sent up a test rocket that will, in the near future, power a crew on a mission to mars.
Talk about change, one minute we are fantasying about Buck Rogers going to the moon and suddenly the Magic Happens Magazine has a boarding pass with our name on a test flight before going to Mars. We are truly in a world of change.
I still remember as a child when our phone would ring at home. When it rang, we had to listen to the number of rings to know whether it was for us or the other person on the party line. Today from our cell phone we can text, call or even face time anywhere in the world in an instant. Change can be a good thing if I desire to embrace it.
I have often told a joke about the Dali Lama buying a hotdog from a street vendor and paying for it with a $20.00 bill. The Dali Lama just stands there waiting and finally asks for his change. The street vendor says, ahhh Dali Lama, change must come from within.
Yes, there is so much around me that continues to change but the greatest change I can make must be inside of me. I am still working on my purpose for being and at some point I will fully understand my adventure. In the meantime I will continue to love, be grateful for everything I have, laugh a lot, pass on my thoughts to others and thrive out loud so that I can engage in my life.
Of course I have my stuff going on, the same as everyone else in the world but how I choose to handle my stuff is what it is all about for me. I could fly off the handle, be judgmental, be negative all the time, live in fear, always speaking ill of others but what good is that for me? As Gandhi once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world".
Over my lifetime I have made many changes. I have learned from all my changes that I am closer to where I feel at one with my life and everything around me.
I embrace change and use the ones that work for me so that I may become a better being.
Just as technology changes, clouds change, forests change etc., the most beautiful change for me is what comes from within.
Peace and Love

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - In a gesture of national outreach yesterday, East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen extended a welcome to the families and students displaced by Hurricane Harvey to come to the township and keep up with their education. Cohen sent a message to Alan Bernstein, Director of Communications for Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner extending an invitation to house and educate displaced students from Houston and the surrounding areas.
In an interview with TAPinto East Brunswick today, Cohen said, "This is what being a sanctuary city means. It can't be all talk. It's time to put your money where your mouth is." Cohen added that he remembered the tremendous national outreach the people of New Jersey received during Hurricane Sandy and wanted to return the favor.
The heart of the invitation lay in its concern for children who may not be able to begin the school year for quite some time. Cohen wrote, "I am offering our township as a sanctuary city for your displaced youth. We know how disasters can cause such disruption to young people's lives. Trying to help them put back a level of normality in the face of such loss is very difficult. For parents, the loss of work, home, and safety can be too much to bear. Any parent, at their core, wants what is best for their family and children.
We are located in Central New Jersey, just outside of Rutgers University. As you may know, New Jersey's public schools rank highest in the nation and East Brunswick has been one of the best public school systems in the state. Our schools are just about to open and there is excess capacity to take in additional students.
We also have a community that has been writing to me about ways to help. Finding families to volunteer and host students will not be difficult."
Cohen went on to enumerate particular details related to travel, housing, and school accommodation, noting that he has been in contact with the Dr. Victor Valeski, Superintendent of Schools. He added that United Airlines has hubs in both Houston and Newark, perhaps making transit a bit easier.
According to the US News and World Report, ""Monday was slated to be the first day of school for Houston's public school system, which serves about 215,000 students – 76 percent of whom are economically disadvantaged." Additionally, many school buildings are being used as shelters for people who have lost their homes.
Mayor Cohen wrote of New Jersey following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, "The outpouring of compassion, assistance, and concern will never be forgotten. Much of that help came from places such as Texas. It is our turn to play it forward and do what is humane and right."

Returning home from the war, young Galen finds work with his mother's family in the royal gardens. There he learns that the king's twelve daughters have a secret: every night they dance their shoes to tatters, but no one knows how or why. When prince after prince tries and fails to find the answer, and the family is haunted by accusations of witchcraft, Galen decides to help. Armed with a pair of silver knitting needles and an invisibility cloak given to him by a strange old woman, he follows the princesses and unlocks the secret of their curse.
I think I started this book, then kind of forgot about it and was distracted by another book. I was in a book slump and saw this on my shelf and thought, "Hey, why not?"
I enjoyed Princess of the Midnight Ball. It was a light, easy read and fairly short; about 300 pages, I think.
I liked Rose and Galen, the main characters. While their characters never really developed, they were still likable characters.
However, the book does suffer from vastly underdeveloped characters. Since this is a retelling of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses", naturally, there are twelve sisters. Rose, the oldest, was the only sister who really got any character development. Lily and Jonquil, the next two oldest, got some character development, but that was it. We only learned about most of the other characters through what the author told us: "At fourteen, Violet was a prodigy at playing the pianoforte and had the voice of an angel." And that would be the only character development we ever got of that character. One sister, if I remember correctly, was only mentioned once in one sentence. It was something like: "Peony, Poppy, and Lilac piled into the boat." (Not a direct quote) And that was the only time Lilac was ever mentioned. So, while the leads were likable, there were also nine underdeveloped characters.
My other complaint is that the prose was occasionally awkward. Like the sentence, "He was so very much not happy." This wasn't a major problem, but when there was awkward writing, it could pull me out of the story.
The plot moved at a swift pace, which I liked. The chapters were short and it was easy to keep on reading. I actually liked that the book wasn't long, since the book never wandered or felt lost. I appreciated that.
I also really liked the setting of this book. While most fairy-tale retellings are set in Ye Olde Medieval Tymes, this book was more based off 1700s-1800s Europe. I thought Westfalin was an interesting setting, although, since the book was pretty short, it didn't get too in-depth on the setting, if that makes sense.
Overall, Princess of the Midnight Ball was a light read and an interesting retelling of "Twelve Dancing Princesses." If you're looking for a fluffier read or a nice fairy-tale retelling, I'd recommend this book.

Different Natures of Death Portrayed In Poetry
"Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state. There is as little reason to deplore the one as there is to be pleased over the other," Mohandas Gandhi. Death is something that happens to any living thing, and it is something that everyone has to deal with at least once in their life whether it be the death of someone/something they know, or even their own death. People die; animals die; plants die; seasons fade away; even things within us, whether in our mind or in our body die. Death is found in many things besides life; it is found in novels, biographies, fantasy books, journals, and even in poetry. Poetry can be defined as, "writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm".
In poetry, there are many types of deaths; death of children, violent death, death of innocence, and even the death of something once beautiful. There are some deaths that result in pain, nothing, or possibly even a rebirth or something terrible or beautiful. Through poetry people have been able to express these different kinds of death. In poetry, things are not always easily found. Sometime we have to look for hints the lead us to our conclusions about what a poem is really about. Other time it is obvious, almost like a donee. Death in poetry comes in many shapes and/or forms. Death can be found in poetry using foreshadowing, figurative langue, or many other things that help allude to the true meaning of the poem.. In "Here a Pretty Baby Lies" by Robert Herrick, "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson, "Mirror" by Sylvia Plath, and "she being Brand/ -new" by E.E. Cummings, an array of deaths are portrayed by their authors using irony, dues ex machine, and double entendre.
First off, is "Here a Pretty Baby Lies" by Robert Herrick. This poem is about the death of a child. Herrick's poem, thought extremely short, is saturated in irony. "Here a pretty baby lies/ Sung asleep with lullabies:", is used and alludes the reader into thinking that the baby is peacefully sleeping in it's crib, being sung to sleep. In the two following lines, the true irony is revealed; "Pray be silent and not stir/ Th'easy earth that covers her." The irony is clued by the words "Pray be silent and not stir". At this point, the author is cluing the reader in on what has really happened to the little girl. The line can be taken two ways. One could either interpret it as someone praying that the leave quietly and not wake the baby up, or interpret it as someone praying for their lost child, but being silent as to not stir their own emotions. "th'easy earth" can easily be a symbol for the little girl's parent(s)' emotions towards her death. The words "Pray be silent" can be a foreshadower of the child actually being dead. In this poem, Herrick makes the reader think the baby is alive, when in actuality, the child is buried, and someone is there to comfort her while she sleeps eternally. There is no rebirth for this child after it death, only a sense of longing from their parent(s). This poem shows that even children lie beneath the ground, having left their loved ones behind.
Secondly is "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson. In this specific poem, the author uses deus ex machina to catch the readers' attention. This poem is about a man who led an extraordinary life much envied by those below him. The author describes his humble personality though he was rich; "and he was always human when he talked;...And he was rich--yes, richer than a king--." The whole time the author makes one believe that Richard Cory lived a wonderful life and though one knows he is dead, by the extensive use of the word "was", makes them believe that he just died a natural death, nothing sudden, nothing violent. Suddenly comes the dues ex machine; the author quickly ends the poem, "and Richard Cory, one calm summer night/ Went home and put a bullet through his head." In this poem, there is no foreshadowing of Richard Cory's sudden/violent death, only the sudden, violent end of his life that he took into his own hands. This poem shows that death can even come to those that appear to be happy. Also, in this poem by Robinson, there is no rebirth; only those that remember him are left behind to carry on with their lives.
Next, is the poem "Mirror" by Sylvia Plath. The death found in this poem is very different from the death found in the other two poems above. The death found in this poem is the death of a young and beautiful girl into an old and ugly woman. The poem explains the death step by step through a mirror's point of view. "She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands." The girl is finally realizing that she's not young anymore and that her youth has died. The mirror, also the narrator, finally comes out and tells the reader, "in me she has drowned a young girl, and in me and old woman/ rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish." The mirror explains to the reader that through the mirror, the woman has drowned her beauty, and now all that meets it, the mirror, is an old and ugly woman, one that is portrayed as a dead, bellied-up fish. The death founding this poem shows the death of something that was once beautiful, and something ugly was reborn in its place. Though the reader can not see if she is really ugly, the sadness of the woman in the mirror and the mirror's point of view as well show us that they see her as ugly.

Gun safes are available in various forms, based on where owners wish to install them. Most of these are designed to be free-standing. However, this makes them too apparent and in-your-face, and these can easily be identified at first glance. Some gun owners like to put them on walls or the floor. As a gun safe owner, or someone who is planning to buy such a safe soon, it is important to determine first where you would like to set it up.
Determine whether you would like to keep your safe concealed, and in an area that is away from sight. If you live in a state that is too stringent with gun ownership and display, it is best to install your safe in a location that is not frequented by outsiders. This could be your bedroom, library or meditation room.
Space away from children's rooms
Children happen to be a curious lot, and it is best that you install your gun safe in a spot that is away from their room. If you are using a mechanical or keypad lock safe, there is high probability that your kid will sneak up from behind, see the combination number and remember it for easy access to your gun when you are not around.
Pro Tip: The best way to keep children out is by using a top fingerprint scanner safe.
Away from fire
Guns and ammo should always be kept away from fires. Never install a gun safe in a space close to the kitchen or fireplace. Do not set it up in a room above or below your kitchen. Even if the room is beneath your kitchen, a fire hazard can make your kitchen collapse and fall directly on your gun cabinet. Also avoid setting it up in your garage, where there could be flammable chemicals such as paint thinners or gasoline. In a severe fire, any spot with a concrete slab is best. The first-floor area, over a crawl space, is also a good spot to keep your safe in.
Away from humidity, moisture and water
Such things can damage your safe and eventually, your gun. It is often that gun owners set up gun safes and cabinets in the basement due to concrete slab floors in that spot. However, if you have a humid basement, you should make use of a dehumidifier for reducing the level of humidity. This will prevent any damage to your safe. Make sure that the basement does not fall in a flood zone.


text: What makes such phenomena as rainbows so much more wonderful is that we understand how they are created. Humans have provided natural explanations of such beauty, and the explanations themselves are a source of beauty. I became a scientist partly because I was so enamored by the physical laws that govern everything. If you are not familiar with how rainbows are formed, read up on the topic. You'll find there's a lot of beauty behind the beauty we behold in nature.

text: World's first 'winefulness' expert is coming to Sydney Posted by: Alana House May 15, 2018 Struggling with mindfulness? Try winefulness instead, a concept introduced by one of Australia's most experienced mindfulness teachers Manish Singh. Although drinking wine to become more mindful might seem counterintuitive at first glance, Manish believes that by doing something we like, we are more open to being present. "The key to learning how to be mindful is to find something you enjoy doing on a regular basis, and transform it into a mindfulness exercise," he said. "When we are doing something we enjoy, like drinking wine, we are relaxed and more receptive to being in the moment." During a guided winefulness class, Manish takes his students through a range of practices to engage all the senses. "Whereas wine tasting is mainly about distinguishing the aromas and flavours in the wine, a winefulness practice encourages you to focus on all the sensory aspects and have your own, unique experience," he explained. "Paying close attention to the experience of drinking a glass of wine is very similar to a meditation." The Brisbane-based mindfulness guru is hosting an exclusive winefulness class in Sydney on Thursday June 7 at a Cellarmasters Mind, Dine & Organic Wine event. The ticketed event is being held to celebrate the launch of Cellarmasters' Organic Wine Reservation, a new quarterly wine subscription to the best organic wines on the market, and will take place at Three Blue Ducks Rosebery. After a 30-minute winefulness class guided by Manish, guests will enjoy a three-course dinner with matching organic wines. Organic wine is made from grapes grown without the addition of synthesised chemical fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. "The first thing many wine drinkers comment on after taking a sip of organic wine is its clarity, vibrancy of flavours and balance," said Christine Ricketts, Cellar Director at Cellarmasters. "So we thought a guided winefulness practice would be the perfect way to experience fantastic, Australian organic wines." Tickets to the event are $95 (plus booking fee) per person, and include drinks and canapés on arrival, a guided winefulness class and dinner with matching organic wines.

Art Theft: The The Majority Of Fascinating and Famous Cases in History
Art theft is an ancient and complicated criminal activity. When you take a look at the a few of the most well-known cases of art thefts in history, you see thoroughly planned operations that involve art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. Here you can check out a few of the most famous cases of art theft in the history.
The First Theft:
The very first documented case of art theft was in 1473, when 2 panels of altarpiece of the Last Judgment by the Dutch painter Hans Memling were taken. While the triptych was being carried by ship from the Netherlands to Florence, the ship was assaulted by pirates who took it to the Gdansk cathedral in Poland. Nowadays, the piece is shown at the National Museum in Gdansk where it was just recently moved from the Basilica of the Assumption.
The The Majority Of Famous Theft:
The most famous story of art theft includes one of the most popular paintings on the planet and among the most famous artists in history as a suspect. In the night of August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louver. Not long after, Pablo Picasso was apprehended and questioned by the cops, however was launched quickly.
It took about two years till the mystery was solved by the Parisian authorities. It turned out that the 30 × 21 inch painting was taken by among the museum staff members by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia, who simply brought it hidden under his coat. Peruggia did not work alone. The crime was thoroughly performed by a notorious bilker, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent out by an art faker who intended to make copies and offer them as if they were the initial painting.
While Yves Chaudron, the art faker, was hectic creating copies for the famous work of art, Mona Lisa was still concealed at Peruggias apartment. After 2 years in which Peruggia did not hear from Chaudron, he attempted to make the very best from his stolen excellent. Ultimately, Peruggia was caught by the cops while aiming to offer the painting to an art dealership from Florence, Italy. The Mona Lisa was gone https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/kurt-criter back to the Louver in 1913.
The Biggest Theft in the U.S.A:
The greatest art theft in United States took location at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. On the night of March 18, 1990, a group of burglars using police uniforms burglarized the museum and took thirteen paintings whose cumulative worth was estimated at around 300 million dollars. The burglars took 2 paintings and one print by Rembrandt, and works of Vermeer, Manet, Degas, Govaert Flinck, along with a French and a Chinese artifact.
As of yet, none of the paintings have been found and the case is still unsolved. According to recent rumors, the FBI are examining the possibility that the Boston Mob along with French art dealers are linked to the crime.
The Scream:
The painting by Edvard Munchs, The Scream, is probably the most demanded painting by art burglars in history. It has actually been stolen twice and was just just recently recuperated. In 1994, during the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, The Scream was taken from an Oslo gallery by 2 burglars who broke through an open window, triggered the https://kurtcriter.wordpress.com/ alarm and left a note stating: thanks for the bad security.
3 months later, the holders of the painting approached the Norwegian Government with an deal: 1 million dollars ransom for Edvard Munchs The Scream. The Government rejected the deal, but https://www.whitepages.com/name/Kurt-Criter/Denver-CO the Norwegian authorities teamed up with the British Authorities and the Getty Museum to organize a sting operation that revived the painting to where it belongs.
While Museum officials waiting for the thieves to demand ransom loan, reports claimed that both paintings were burned to hide proof. Ultimately, the Norwegian authorities discovered the two paintings on August 31, 2006 however the facts on how they were recuperated are not known.
When you look at the some of the most famous cases of art thefts in history, you see completely prepared operations that include art dealerships, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. The most well-known story of art theft involves one of the most well-known paintings in the world and one of the most well-known artists in history as a suspect. The crime was carefully carried out by a infamous con man, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent by an art faker who meant to make copies and offer them as if they were the initial painting.
Ultimately, Peruggia was captured by the authorities while attempting to sell the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The painting by Edvard Munchs, The Scream, is probably the most looked for after painting by art thieves in history.

The Elsa Nature Conservancy and I have NO relationship with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS), nor we have ever made contact with SSCS. I was very surprised and bewildered to learn that SSCS, on their website, announced that they had received information on the recent drive fishery in Futo from me. The action alert posted on SSCS's website said: "We have received the following information from Sakae Fujiwara/Hemmi of Elsa Nature Conservancy."
What the readers didn't know was that the action alert was a copy of an action alert posted to CFN by another organization that ELSA works closely with.
By copying the action alert in its entirety, without mentioning the group that originally issued it, SSCS regrettably gave the impression that I had provided their organization with the information from Futo. This announcement, although later removed from SSCS's website, is now putting my and Elsa's work in danger. This is worsened by the fact that the announcement has been circulated to various news-groups and appears on at last one other website.
The situation of ELSA, which is a Japanese organization, is quite different from that of organizations overseas. To continue working against the drive fishery in Japan, evading the compulsory inspections from the police and getting approval from the public, we cannot be connected to SSCS in any way, due to their arrest in Taiji in 2003.
ELSA has been working on environmental and animal welfare issues for 27 years. Throughout this time, we have never interfered with other organizations' activities or openly criticized them. We well understand that every organization implements its own policy and strategy to reach the goal of stopping the drive fishery. Our position has always been that each organization has sole responsibility for its own actions. I understand that SSCS is working with enthusiasm to stop the drive fishery in Japan, but our strategy is completely DIFFERENT from SSCS.
Working with Coalition members One Voice(France)and the Earth Island Institute (USA) and also with our colleague organizations to stop the cruel dolphin hunts in Japan, ELSA continues our peaceful and lawful strategy. I want to once again emphasize that ELSA is not connected to, or in communication with, SSCS in any way.
Sakae Fujiwara/Hemmi,

Villanova Upsets No. 3 Syracuse, 75-71 in OvertimeJanuary 26, 2013
In one of the best games of the college basketball season, the Villanova Wildcats upset the No. 3 Syracuse Orange 75-71 in overtime at home in The Pavilion.
The victory for the Wildcats (13-7, 4-3 in Big East) marks the team's second win over a top-five team in the last week (Villanova beat then-No. 5 Louisville Cardinals on Tuesday), which is the first time that has happened since November of 2001, according to Elias Sports:
ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo
Villanova is 1st unranked team since Ball State (4 Kansas, 3 UCLA) in Nov. 2001 to win back-to-back games vs Top-5 teams (h/t @EliasSports).
While Syracuse (18-2, 6-1) came into the game as the favorite, many experts had the Orange on upset alert considering how well Villanova played against Louisville. Syracuse has been in a few close matchups this season (last two games were won by four combined points), and it was a matter of time before a team hit a few timely three-point shots and handed the Orange a loss.
That's exactly what the Wildcats did.
Despite shooting a mediocre 9-of-27 from the three-point line in the game, Villanova got a huge boost from Ryan Arcidiacono's last-second three to send the game into overtime, and James Bell's two three-pointers in OT that sealed the win for the Wildcats.
Syracuse played solid defensively, but lapses late in the game and a terrible 21-of-63 from the field doomed the Orange early. The team made a valiant second-half run to almost steal the win, but timely scoring from Villanova kept Syracuse on its heels.
The Orange have a few days off to recover mentally from this loss, but a tough schedule and high expectations will force the team back to work immediately. If Syracuse learns from this loss, though, they could be better in the long run for it and will be even more dangerous in March.
Villanova was not ranked coming into this week, but two wins over serious national championship contenders has many fans arguing for their inclusion in the Top 25.
As great as their wins are, the fact that the Wildcats have seven losses (including losses to Columbia, LaSalle and Providence) proves they don't deserve to be ranked—at least not until the team can string a few wins together.
Twitter Reaction
While Jayson Stark is usually a baseball reporter, the Philadelphia resident showcased how there was more on the line Sunday than just a regular-season game; this was the last Big East matchup between these two teams:
Jayson Stark @jaysonst
Historic day in South Phila. Last Syracuse-Villanova Big East game ever. What a shame. Awesome rivalry. Good times! http://t.co/Uv4PDBgL
One of the biggest voices in college basketball, Dick Vitale, talked about how Villanova has launched themselves into his Team of the Week conversation:
Dick Vitale @DickieV
Well I guess I have my TEAM of the WEEK VILLANOVA BABY as they have beaten LOUISVILLE & SYRACUSE = WOW
Many Wildcats fans thought all hope was lost for Villanova to make the NCAA tournament, but Comcast's Reuben Frank is holding out hope that the team could sneak in the back door:
Reuben Frank @RoobNBCS
Wow, another huge win for Nova. They hold it together, they're back in the NCAAs. Exciting stuff!
Yahoo!'s Pat Forde looks ahead at what the Wildcats must focus on now to be a real contender:

When you're surrounded by glitzy frocks and show-stopping ballgowns, it can be hard to really make an impact on the red carpet, but the dress that really caught our eye was worn by Keith Lemon.
Rather than sticking to traditional red carpet attire at last night's (25 January) National Television Awards, the TV personality - whose show 'Celebrity Juice' was up for the Best Entertainment Programme gong - turned the event into a fancy dress affair.
He made his way into the ceremony channelling Jennifer Grey in 'Dirty Dancing', complete with a curly wig, a baby pink dress and kitten heels.
Keith wasn't on his own, though, as he had his very own Johnny in the form of Paddy McGuinness, who went full Swayze for the occasion.
The two even went for the infamous 'Dirty Dancing' lift, and did a surprisingly adequate job of it.
Do we smell an ITV2 remake in the air? Watch this space…
Keith and Paddy weren't the only stars making a splash on the NTAs red carpet, with 'I'm A Celebrity' star Carol Vorderman turning heads in a full glittering ensemble.
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright put on a loved-up display in front of the photographers outside the O2, while reigning Queen of the Jungle Scarlett Moffatt made an impression in a bright pink jacket.
The NTAs is also one of our showbiz highlights because it allows us to see Anne Hegerty from 'The Chase' ditch her traditional grey suit for a more red-carpet ready outfit, and she didn't disappoint this year.

LinkedIn is connecting with investors.
The dominant professional networking site was one of the few bright spots Friday on Wall Street. Its shares skyrocketed nearly 18% to $89.96 in the single biggest one-day jump since its initial public stock offering in May. LinkedIn's stock has doubled in value since the IPO.
The jet fuel powering the professional networking site: its fourth-quarter earnings, released Thursday. Revenue more than doubled from the previous year to nearly $168 million. The Mountain View, Calif., company earned $6.9 million, surpassing analysts' expectations. And it forecast higher in 2012. LinkedIn expects its revenue to rise as much as 65% this year to $860 million.
The site's popularity also continues to climb. LinkedIn increased its membership to more than 150 million from 131.2 million in the third quarter. Signing up more professionals helped LinkedIn sell more services and pick up more advertisers.

New Zealand in the World: Prime Minister John Key Outlines His Government's Approach to International Affairs
Key, John, New Zealand International Review
New Zealand in the world: prime minister John Key outlines his government's approach to international affairs.
I will start by noting that things can change quite quickly at the leadership level in international politics. I have been prime minister of New Zealand a bit less than two years but I am meeting with my third Japanese prime minister, my second US president, my second Australian prime minister, and my second British prime minister. I could go on.
One thing that remains the same is New Zealand's commitment to an independent foreign policy. That was something that Helen Clark spent a lot of time talking about as prime minister and something that our administration has carried on. That said, when you become the government you have to put your own stamp on how you see things, and where you see your major focus of attention.
From our perspective, one of the first things we have done is identify the Pacific as a priority. There are obvious good reasons for that. We have the largest Pacific city in the world. A large part of our population comes from the Pacific. New Zealand along with Australia has always taken a leadership role in trying to help Pacific nations. Specifically we have changed the focus of our aid. Not only are we increasing the overall level of assistance that New Zealand has provided from about $440 million a year to $600 million, but over half of it is going to the Pacific; and it is going to continue to rise. That reflects our view that New Zealand can play an important role in the region, we understand the Pacific well and we can work with our Pacific partners. This time last year I was embarking on a visit to some of our neighbours: Tonga, Samoa, the Cook Islands and Niue. Murray McCully made a similar visit in August.
Next year we are looking forward to hosting the Pacific Forum in New Zealand and to having an opportunity of celebrating its 40th year. There are some great things happening in the Pacific and some real gains being made. One thing that came out of the Pacific Forum in Australia last year was to identify a number of areas where we can work closely together. From Australia and New Zealand's perspective we look to use our economic strength to help the Pacific nations, particularly around their fisheries which is a big resource for them and one that is under-developed. Secondly, we can assist with their over-dependence on oil by developing renewable energies. New Zealand and Australia have tremendous technology in that area and we will help to again make a real difference.
No dictation
The Cairns Compact showed that we can work with Pacific nations to assist them in relation to their donor programmes. It is not for New Zealand to dictate which countries should or should not donate to Pacific countries, but these are small countries and do not necessarily have a great capacity to deal with lots of different donors. From that perspective we can also work very closely with them.
When one talks about the Pacific we are bound to have a discussion about what is happening in Fiji. It is really in sorrow rather than in anger that we find ourselves in the position we currently are with Fiji. It is fair to say my government has tried to reach out and offer the hand of friendship to Fiji. We want to see democracy restored there. We are working hard to make that happen, and we have offered Fiji whatever support they need to have democracy restored.
It is important to understand what we are doing and what we are not doing. We do not have economic sanctions on Fiji and we have not had them. In fact at the most recent Forum in Vanuatu, New Zealand was leading the charge of those wanting to include Fiji in the PACER Plus trade discussions. The ministerial contact group is going to report to the leaders on the merits or otherwise of including Fiji in PACER. At the moment they are excluded but we think bringing them in makes sense. …

A [Treatment name removed]® treatment is an easy and instant cosmetic enhancement that gives you a refreshed look. It smoothes wrinkles and restores volume – reversing the signs of aging. It can also be used to enhance facial features such as your lips and cheeks for added fullness and definition with a natural look. As it is a temporary filler, [Treatment name removed] allows for aesthetic adjustment as we age.
Derma Roller has become a treatment of choice for many celebrities, endorsed recently by Angelina Jolie as her preferred treatment.
This therapy uses a hand held device containing hundreds of micro-needles, used on the skin to create micro-channels which trigger the bodies self-repair mechanism, this induces collagen and elastin production. This mechanism promises to reduce skin imperfections, making the skin smoother, brighter and more youthful with no downtime
Rejuvi eraze tattoo removal, 3-6 times as efficient as laser (trial data), efficient removal of all colours.
The e-raze Rejuvi tattoo removal system is a unique method of tattoo ink extraction which is designed to completely remove your tattoo ink pigments from the body. The treatment has been extensively researched, developed and tested for over ten years, and in use worldwide for over eight years.
The treatment utilizes similar methods as having the original tattoo. The removal formula is delivered to the ink using a tattoo or permanent make-up machine, therefore the treatment can only be performed by a trained tattoo or permanent make-up artist or medical professional. The extraction cream is specifically designed to blend with and capture the original tattoo ink.
The formula then forms into a thicker substance which the skin easily pushes out taking the captured tattoo ink with it. A number of treatments are normally required to completely remove a tattoo.
Semi-Permanent makeup imitates perfectly applied cosmetics, with natural-looking results that can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want.This is achieved in by placing hypo-allergenic specialist pigments into the dermal layer of your skin, where they remain all day, every day. The results fade gradually over 2-3 years, with a "colour boost" recommended 12-24 months after the initial application – to maintain a fresh appearance.
Also known as: Permanent makeup / Cosmetic tattooing / Micropigmentation

And Welcome to Around the World Blog Hop, today you will be visiting Greece, with me, Mara at Secretly Stitching! Thanks to the lovely Sarah of Berry Barn Designs, I am so excited and honored that she picked me! Her post was last week and she lives in Maine USA, she also invited, Heidi from Fabric Mutt and Heather from QA Creations to chat today, so be sure to head over there too after seeing what I am up too!
First let me tell you about myself, I am an American who on vacation to Greece met my Greek husband who was born in Australia, I have 2 children my son is 6 1/2 and my daughter is 4, yes they are bi-lingual and no I am not :) I struggle with languages, but I am so happy to see that my children have their father's ears for tongues. (haha, that sounds funny) We live in Kalampaka Greece, smack dab in the middle of Mainland Greece, check my previous post to this one to see a map of Greece. You can also see other photos and blog post about Greece on my Travel Thru Greece blog.
|A Secret Monastery built into the rocks in my backyard
Now lets answer some questions:
1. What am I working on?
Top secret! I love swaps and challenges, in fact if you come across one, let me know, I would love it. I just finished my Strawberry Swap items.
|More pictures here.
2. How does my work differ from others in its genre?
Well that's a hard one, since I don't really consider my work, work, I just want to have fun and learn, especially learn. It's not very often you will see me do the same thing twice, unless I do it wrong the first time and want to perfect it. Like my recent embroidered feather, I will be doing another one of these since I wasn't to happy about how the last one tuned out.
|Book Review and more pictures.
3. Why do I write/create what I do?
Writing on my blog is for verification that I am doing something cool, lol, my husband is not to impressed with my sewing, my MIL baw-humbugs it and my son is fairly disinterested in it now that I haven't created anything for him in a while (so sad, working on that right now, some pants for school). The only person who ever really loves anything I make is my daughter, but then she doesn't get to keep any of it, so that is very sad also.
So please leave a message if you love what you see, cause I will love to know!
I do create for others, there is only so much I can think that I need, but I love swaps, cause then I am making something for someone else and in return they make something for me!!! Like the Big Stitch Swap, I made a mini quilt for a gal who wanted some wall art. She loved it, and although it is not to my taste. I really enjoyed creating it, stepping out of my comfort zone and making something fun.
|Made BY ME for the Big Stitch Swap
|Made FOR ME! more pictures here.
4. How does my writing/creating process work?
Read all of the above, I get excited and I create! My head is constantly thinking about what I am making what I can do next, what can I learn etc. etc. So that's me, if you want to hang out and see more, then you can hit the bloglovin' button below or what ever way you like to follow.
I am also the swap mama of a Fabric Swap called 8², it is an International Fabric Swap, We just finished a Text Swap and our Next one will probably be Low Volume. The price is good, this last one was only $18 dollars for 1 1/4 yards of fabric including all shipping charges to and from Greece with me doing the cutting. Not too bad.
I have invited 3 Great People (it was so hard just choosing 3 to join the hop next week on August 25th) First we will start the tour in Texas, I lived the first 5 years of my life living in and out of that State, and Shirley has lived in many places herself, even in Germany (me too), that is Shirley of SimpleSew. Then a place I learned how to swim and almost broke my ankle we hop on over to Italy to visit Nesta of Ella and Nesta's Little Room. And 3rd Around the World Blog Hoper is Deborah of Sunshine Through the Rain, she lives in Indonesia, I have never been there, but would love to visit someday. I think I have heard that it gets rainy there :)
Also be sure to hop on over to New Mexico, USA (I went to High School and College in NM) to visit THE ONLY quilter/blogger I have met in person!!! Isn't that so cool that we share today together and were asked by different people, this blog hop is HUGE, so be sure to go visit Daryl of Patchouli Moon, she was so kind to come and met me and shop with me for fabric in Albuquerque, NM, when we were in the States last November.
|I'm the big girl on the left in red, with Daryl! Hugs Daryl, thanks for Shopping with me!

DAKAR - If there is an afterlife for news anchors, Walter Cronkite may well be reaching for his ear muffs and a calming celestial gin and tonic.
For five years after the celebrated US broadcaster's death, two Senegalese hip-hop artists are taking current affairs in a brash new direction - by rapping the news.
Dakar-based musicians Xuman and Keyti deliver the week's top domestic and global stories in verse on "Journal Tele Rappe" - JTR to the cool kids - to a television and YouTube audience of thousands.
"It's the news like any other news, except that it's rapping, there is humour in it. We don't just give the news - we cover positions which are highly subjective, and the public consensus too," says Keyti, a 41-year-old whose real name is Cheikh Sene.
Xuman, a slender, dreadlocked 40-something known in more formal circles as Makhtar Fall, came up with the idea several years ago, frustrated at having to cede the mic to newsreaders during TV and radio broadcasts.
"I wondered if it wouldn't be a bad thing to be able to mix rap, news and education or entertainment," he says.
The pair have years of considerable chart success between them and have been known for social and political activism spanning more than a decade.
Xuman raps in French, the official language of Senegal, while Keyti delivers his lines in Wolof, the local tongue.
They use a Senegalese producer known as No-Face Undacova for the music, with a local company called Level Studio taking care of design and production.
The show, in its second six-month season, goes out on Friday nights on the privately-owned Senegalese station 2STV and is then posted on the duo's YouTube channel, which has almost 12,500 subscribers.
The video links also go up on JTR's Twitter and Facebook accounts, which have several thousand followers between them.
The pair cover everything from local politics to foreign wars, and their unconventional twist on the week's events is gaining in popularity.
A recent bulletin featuring a guest rapper called Hyde reporting from the scene on the escalating conflict in Gaza attracted 12,800 views within four days of going online.
"Salam, shalom, live from Gaza... The Jewish state has little to say on the errors ascribed to it... Netanyahu speaks to the need to restore calm. So (Israel) arms itself and the world must be silent," Hyde told his audience, sporting a helmet and flak jacket among the ruins of a destroyed house.

Action! Guide To Children's Talent Agencies In Boston
As I walked up to the front door of a home I had never been to just before, I was anticipating a new challenge, yet another assignment that I wanted. Most of the time, companies are looking for youngster models of a distinct age or possibly a kid that has a particular look. But this is only a con if a child does not like modeling, or in worse instances forced into the market. If an agency expresses interest do not get more than excited simply because commericial work for young children, specifically babies is few and far amongst in ireland. Every single model needs a portfolio and a expert photographer will be capable to put collectively a portfolio that represents a assortment of poses and in a number of diverse sorts of attire.
A youngster model could be asked to do all sorts of uncomfortable things, like stand on a cold beach in a swimsuit, wear shoes that are way also tiny, or have their hairstyle changed three instances in one hour. When you have discovered an agency that looks like it might be appropriate for your child, verify them out with organizations which are most likely to use child models to see if the agency is recognized and utilised by these consumers. If a go-see does not materialize into a job, your youngster demands to be in a position to place it behind her and move ahead to the subsequent a single.
Getting that benefit would imply that your kid will possibly get very first preference if you show up for the auditions on time. We have a team of leading fashion photographers to shoot kid model portfolios in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. When checking out youngster modeling agencies, it would be wonderful if you could find 1 that is run and operated by an individual who was formerly in the enterprise.
If your child hates to have his hair combed, styled and sprayed, or hates to repeatedly alter outfits, modeling could not be correct for him. If you make a decision not to sign up with a specific agency they need to accept this selection and not attempt and alter your thoughts. You might know a neighbor who is abusing their child but you are afraid to say some thing. Simply because no child model agency is able to guarantee function to any model on its books most will not offer you to take their production costs out of any operate gained and parents want to comprehend, when enrolling with an agent, the inherent threat that their kid may not obtain any operate within their contract period. By hiring kid models on the web you can ensure a greater connection with your target buyers, hence growing your sales.
You then bring your kid along to the 'casting' exactly where the client will take a fast appear at your child and probably 20 other youngsters from the agency and other agencies. This normally requires the type of a printed model book, a digital model book or pictures on a internet site. I would have thought I would have to go through a brick and mortar agency to discover a child model. A very good concept is not to force your youngster into this profession just simply because you have distinct interest in the profession.…

It's winter...
I'm not a huge fan of the cold weather, but I do enjoy winter walks, hot baths, flanny pj's, and freshly baked bread with a good soup.
Oh and there's the snow to consider. The ski season kicks off this weekend and Mt Buller is off to a great start. Here's hoping we can take the kids up soon!

Homemade bread and soup is a staple here (on the otherside of the mountain) all through winter. I have those jammies too. We usually go to Perisher but we moved down the mountain so this year we are thinking of trying Mount Selwyn as it's really family friendly especially to take little Archie. Hope you all stay in good health!ReplyDelete

Jason, Cathy and their daughter Rosie move to Italy to nurture their olive grove. Sounds idyllic doesn't it? Well according to Cathy and Jason the answer is yes and no. After reading their book I am inclined to agree but I was left with more of the 'yes' resounding in my head and less of the 'no'.
This is a blunt, vivid account of their struggles to live their dream. They did it but I'll leave it to you to decide if they think it was worth it.
I am willing to bet you can't read the book without wanting to adopt an olive tree.
Go. Read. Discover Nudo.

I'm a 3rd generation Tacoma Pierce County native. I attended Bellarmine Preparatory School and graduated from The University of Puget Sound with a degree in English and a minor in Business. As a young man I held jobs working as a paperboy delivering to 86 homeowners, a limousine driver, sold Christmas trees and fruit seasonally and even worked as a funeral home attendant. Needless to say, I had to learn compassion quickly at an early age.
Prior to real estate, I worked at the Chamber of Commerce Visitors and Convention Bureau in sales promoting Tacoma and Pierce County, as a destination. Later, I worked in the office furniture business, selling contract and commercial grade furniture and design services. As a young man in my early twenties I quickly grew to become the branch manager and won many sales achievement awards for sales volume. It was a great career but I knew I needed more.
After working in furniture and design for 3 years I decided to start my own business and become a Real Estate agent. Yes, being a realtor is like owning my own business. I treat my job like a business and my customers are the most important part. In my first year selling real estate I sold 32 homes when the average realtor sells 4 or 5. I coupled my business skills and experience in customer service with follow through and tenacity to real estate. I have built systems, learned extensive marketing techniques, created a powerful online presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and my own personal website. I also believe in training and attending classes, seminars and conferences regularly to sharpen the saw. I believe you can ALWAYS grow in work and life.
After 24 years as a realtor in the community I grew up in, my name is synonymous with Quality Real Estate Representation and Service. I work professionally and tirelessly for my clients to achieve success and an outcome that benefits all involved.
On a personal note, I have two daughters who keep me very busy. I enjoy golf, traveling, boating and numerous other outdoor activities. I love to participate in community events and represent my city. I have been here my whole life and I love Tacoma!
