A man wearing impecible Rising Sun uniform is browsing the bazaar. He strides confidently, occasionally stopping to speak with traders. You notice the shaking of heads, indicating that others traders are unable to supply him with what he needs. From the man, nothing is given away unless intended.
He approaches your stall, glances around and then leans in to discuss his needs.
'Greetings trader. I have recently reached a milestone, and wish to celebrate my 60th birthday with a new weapon. I wish to continue my service to House Riatin, but by returning to my roots.' He pauses briefly, and thrn continues. 'As a young Sun Guard I used to race the other recruits to the Beaten Anvil, hoping to purchase a large steel spear. Sadly, Stahling only crafted one per day and I often missed out. However, in all my years I have yet to tire of fighting from horseback with spears. Despite this sword at my side, it is what I enjoy the most. I am looking for the highest quality spears, one handed or two handed. No large steel ones though, I am too old for one of those. The best quality only.'
'In return for great spears, I can offer the following.'
A warmaul
Jewelled wristcuffs
A cuendillar belt
A bronze headed axe
A yew staff
An obsidian pendant
A redstone dagger
Blackened steel krises

Bixby Knolls targets graffiti
2010-05-04 · By Editor
The Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association has recently partnered with the Department of Public Works to eliminate graffiti in the district. The BKBIA encourages all business owners and residents to call the city's graffiti hotline to report any tags as soon as possible but wanted to take this to the next level.
Blair Cohn, executive director for the BKBIA, explains the organization's plan of attack for fighting graffiti in the 8th District shopping and dining area.
"We started to notice that the smaller graffiti tags grew in numbers as the taggers would write on traffic signs, windows, and light poles. These are harder to see when you are driving down the corridors but are more noticeable on foot. The idea was to help speed up the process by asking Public Works for the materials that could remove the paint, chalk, or ink ourselves."
"One day a week we spending walking the district picking up trash, pulling weeds, reporting code enforcement issues, watering trees, and making notes for new projects. We figures since we are out there already, why not be able to remove the graffiti immediately instead of having to put the entire burden on the city to do it? It is actually more enjoyable on some days to get out from behind the desk and be outside getting our hands dirty to make the district look good."
"We put in a formal request to Mike Conway, Director of Public Works, who was in favor of this idea and got the support from the council offices (7th & 8th Districts) to partner with the department to create our own graffiti program. It's the whole "broken window theory" that if we just leave the graffiti alone it only encourages more graffiti. We wanted to be more proactive and try to stay on top of the issue as best we could."
"It's not necessarily the magic wand to eliminate the graffiti problem all together but we feel good about making the district look better and being a partner with the city to do so."

Many of the Hollywood movies made today rarely meet up to the standards set by their predecessors. They either harp upon what has already been done by the films on their times or stick to clichés and stereotypes.
'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' is a refreshing change from the other sequels. Though it is the lengthiest 'Star Wars' movie in the franchise, director Rian Johnson has not made it a tiresome experience for the fans to feast their eyes upon the action and the images.
A cliffhanger packed with action and mystery, 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' the director takes on many of the questions that run through the audience's minds. Where has Luke Skywalker been, and what was he up to for all these years? Who is Rey and how is she so strong with the Force? What's the deal with Supreme Leader Snoke? Why did Kylo Ren turn over to the dark side? Though these questions are addressed, the director does not answer them in your typical manner.
He takes the viewers in a completely unexpected direction while providing insights into the answers. All the actors play their parts well. However Mark Hamill's performance as Luke is outstanding. Luke's history with the Force is captured well through his pain. The interactions between Luke and Rey are gripping too. Her scenes with Kylo too are quite intriguing. Kylo and Rey's allure of the dark side and spiritual turmoil are beautifully projected in the movie. The other characters like General Leia played by Carrie Fisher, Poe Dameron taken on by Oscar Isaac, and Finn portrayed by John Boyega all add vital aspects to the story.
Johnson even introduces a few new ones with Benicio Del Toro and Laura Dern as Vice Admiral Holdo.
All the technical components come together as well. The score, editing, effects, sound design, and cinematography are well-balanced. Exciting battle scenes and intriguing twists are aplenty in this film. These add maturity to the production.
'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' is everything a Star Wars film should be. It is a movie which has a heart and mystery intertwined with a good acting and directing.

Alien invasion yarn that turns out to be something else, from newcomer Planck.
Having destroyed Earth's ecology, humanity perforce has spread through the galaxy discovering and colonizing hundreds of planets, none with indigenous life more complex than bacteria. The powerful League has established dominance and brought relative peace and prosperity at the expense of what a small but vigorous resistance faction regards as loss of liberty. Young Prudence Falling, captain of a tramp freighter eking out a not always entirely legal living in defiance of League-approved shipping concerns, arrives at the remote farming planet Kassa, only to find the scattered communities bombed to destruction by a mysterious force from space. Prudence does what she can for the survivors while sending an immediate plea for assistance to League HQ on Altair Prime. Sooner than seems possible, a League warship arrives; aboard and in charge is Lt. Kyle Daspar, an officer of the political police who's secretly a double agent working for the resistance. What follows is superbly handled psychological intrigue: While they must work together, Prudence regards Daspar as exactly what he appears to be, a League operative determined to subvert and destroy her independence, while Daspar suspects Prudence of being a highly trained League agent assigned to expose him. The mistrust runs deep, even when they discover what seems to be a crashed alien spaceship. Prudence thinks Daspar knows more about the alien than he's telling, while Daspar secretly learns that he was dispatched from Altair Prime before Prudence sounded the alarm. The rest of the plot doesn't quite live up to the captivating setup, but Planck has a real imagination and the knack of investing the protagonists with real depth. Still, it's a highly auspicious debut.
One of those rare yarns, a one-off that would have served better as a series opener.

I have suffered tinnitus for 3 months and Xanax helps to reduce the volume and my anxiety. Now the ENT wants to to change to Lexapro..Is it a better alternative? I read it actually increase the intensity of tinnitus..is this true? can both drug be taken together? Any reason why he wants me to change?

Engku fauzan,
I think it's strange that your doctor started you on Xanax for timmitus in the first place. I would assume that he wants to put you on something else because he doesn't want you to beome too dependent on Xanax, which is for anxiety. There is no way I would take Lexapro, which is used to balance out certain brain chemicals, for ringing in my ears. I would suggest looking into any of the over-the-counter medications for tinnitus before I took anything else that needs a prescription. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your comment . Well initially he did not put me on Xanax. He started on Gingo, then Betasec and it didnt help much. When the ringing got louder, i got anxiety and have trouble sleeping, thus he given me Xanax at 10 mg per day..It helps alot initially but the impact is now i am hearing tinnitus almost all the time although volume varies and loud towards the evening. Prior to Xanax, my tinnitus was intermittent. My next step is to try for Homeopathy and accupunture. By the way, what over the counter medication? What are the products? Actually i am living in Malaysia.
Sorry its not 10mg Xanax but 0.5mg per day
I have suffered from very loud like a freight train tinnitis for 3 years when I got sudden deaf syndrome, & am now deaf in my left ear, but the ringing & noise about drives me mad at times. I have been seen by an ENT, my PCP, & an audiologist, & have been told there is nothing that helps tinnitus. Unless it is caused by taking aspirin or some other type of med that causes it in the first place, even the over the counter meds they advertise don't help. When I told my PCP I was taking one, he told me to throw it away (& it cost $20) that nothing helps tinnitis. Just my thoughts...
My tinnitus was caused by aspartame. It improved dramatically after I eliminated all sugar free products - gum, soda, etc.

• A local, slice-of-life story from a Monitor correspondent.
LONDON – Americans wandering around the center of this city often bump into some familiar faces in the form of US presidents – Lincoln and FDR are just two of a handful immortalized in statues. Now it's the turn of a much more recent incumbent of the Oval Office, Ronald Reagan.
A 10-foot-high bronze figure of the 40th president, by the US sculptor Chas Fagan, is to be erected outside the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square, close to an existing one of Dwight Eisenhower.
A change in Westminster Council's policy of only allowing memorials to people who have passed away 10 or more years ago cleared the way for a planning application to get the green light after its submission by the Reagan Memorial Fund Trust, which includes figures associated with Britain's Conservative Party.
The news hasn't exactly gone down well with everyone – much of the British left were sternly opposed to Mr. Reagan's foreign policies. But Andrew Roberts, a British academic described by some as President George W. Bush's favorite historian, welcomed the planned statue, adding that Reagan "personified" the special relationship between Britain and the US when it was working at its best.
"His communication skills may not have been appreciated here quite as much as elsewhere. The reason we love him is because his policies led to a disillusionment of communism, and of course he was close to Margaret Thatcher, being ideologically at one with her," says Mr. Roberts.
"Grosvenor Square is a good place for it also because it is a hallowed place for Americans, having been the location for Eisenhower's headquarters during the Second World War."

Please wait for the waterfall to flow before scrolling down, Your patience will be rewarded!
Doing What's Right
by Gary Jacobson
What is the wrong way and the right,
In this mortal foils plight?
What path should I follow,
To pleasingly light mine heart aglow.
On one side stands Father God,
Proffering the way of the Iron Rod,
Guiding sons and daughters lovingly His way,
Promising righteous paths eternal dividends pay.
The Iron Rod leads full circle back to God
Away from pathways flawed
Guiding along His holy chain of righteousness
Where we seek inner holiness,
Fathers love a divine caress.
Father God makes but one divine request
As he has loved us, so also share loves bequest.
As Father God ye love,
Love for one another possess,
Sharing that glorious light from above.
On the other side stands the adversary Satan,
Offering tempting way of the tempestuous glutton.
Whose slick, oily tongue,
Of all goodness wrung
Plies mankind with the easy way
Before him carnal enjoyments lay.
Satan's way promises silver and gold,
Riches of the world untold,
Wine, Women, Song
With admonition to unruly throng
"There's no reason to righteously try,
Live for today, for tomorrow you die."
Father God is love,
Offering the peace of whitened dove.
Satan is hate,
Offering a fiery, fiendish fate.
So should I God fear,
Or brother Satan revere?
The decision I face
Flows between pure life and licentious lace,
Shall I to the right abide
Or stray where many tormented souls hide
Under free agency's scarlet hood
Choosing not the way good
Avoiding living the life I should?
Should I live life pure
Holding myself to precepts of the Master sure
Cling to the rod through life's storms long
Till life's judgment day,
Or with wine, women, and song,
Worldly merriments play?
God asks us to love him,
And as we love him, love our fellow man.
Satan says to love no one, but him...
Do unto others what you can.
The master of lies
Offers a tempting prize
All wanton joys pleasures,
To those who'd seek this worlds temporary treasures.
Worshipful oblation
His only obligation,
Embibing with temporal joys lecherous
Immoral, unchaste, lewdly lascivious.
Worldly ways in loud boasting too
Ye may promiscuous deeds strew,
The righteous way to spitefully eschew.
Or ye may search for God in His mysterious heavens
Seeking Celestial havens
Seeking whence eternal blessings imbue,
Avoiding material snares mortal cravens pursue.
Father God bestows on the faithful elect,
Heavenly bounties so rich ye'll not be able to select.
The very chosen, my friend,
Persevere till the very end.
So then choose the right,
Battle for freedom in spirit and might.
Let Father's eternal wisdom mark the way before,
And the Father will bless you ever more,
Against Satan's power,
An upside down tower.
And look ye forth till a brighter tomorrow,
Where there will be no more sorrow,
For god will protect you,
Come hell or high water He will protect you,
That he would not makes reason stare...
Then have courage to do what is right dare.
Walk uprightly against the flow of the unruly mob
Who will for the eternities sob
Who would they could thine Divine inheritance rob
They'll receive their eternal reward in bleak despair
With great gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair
As the righteous are culled from the unrighteous.
As for me and my house,
With holy spirit we hereby espouse,
Singing praises with sacred accord,
We shall in all ways serve the Lord.

Welcome to the first B.O.B series; a series of posts that happen every other thursday and focus on the business of blogging. One of the classes I'm taking at University is all about Self-Promotion, or selling yourself as a brand. I've learned some great things and am going to share them with you.
First order of Business is Your Brand. Every fashion blog is different but still a fashion blog. What makes yours different from the rest? Your words, yes, but what do people see first when checking back? Your blog name and logo. This is the Brand of you that you're selling to your readers.
Blogging is always on the bridge of personal and professional. Your logo should be the same: something personal to you but still presentable in professional settings. Many of us are using our blogs on our resumes or even as an online source for a sample of writing. It's important to convey your artistic personality for this will make you memorable. At the same time your design doesn't have to be complex. Like any fashion faux pas, sometimes too much is remembered for the wrong reasons.
When I started The Fashion Pawn, I had no sense of direction with "my brand." I created this logo that you see here with an amazing friend and graphic designer, Jeffry Campanero. After doodling on pages of my notebooks I realized what I wanted: 1 heart, 1 pawn. Any of my teachers can attest to my heart doodles on the sides of my work and because I am The Fashion Pawn, adding a pawn made sense. We worked around my ideas and came up with my logo.
When I get tired of the font, I'm going to be able to use my heart and pawn idea with anything else. Some great examples of blogs and their people who branded themselves in an interchangeable way include:
Profresh Style– though her background may change, the font of her logo stays the same. In fact, it's all over her blog. The next time you see her font anywhere in the world, you're going to think of Christina Topacio's blog and aesthetic.
Muffin Top Baby– her blog just went through a huge change of colors and fonts but what stayed the same was her paper doll and muffin. What Coco L'amour is blogging about will stay with her readers when they are on other blogs.
Fashion Canvas– is a great example of getting fed up with your logo idea. Francheska may have changed her original logo but the rest of her blog remains the same.
I think you've gathered how important it is to create a brand for your blog.
Tune in for the next Business of Blogging series where we'll discuss what you can do with your Brand now that you've created it. Business Cards, maybe?

Their witty lyrics and catchy melodies have stood the test of time.
Now one of Gilbert and Sullivan's best loved operettas, HMS Pinafore, is being performed next month by Putteridge Bury's Gilbert & Sullivan Society.
Luton primary school teacher and mum-of-two Alison Gibbs, 52, has been a fan of the Victorian theatrical partnership ever since seeing Pirates of Penzance at the tender age of 11.
"Their music is timeless and beautiful and the words are so funny," she smiles.
She's been a member of PBGS – founded in 1971 – for the past 18 years and will be appearing in HMS Pinafore as well as directing Trial by Jury for the prestigious Harrogate International Festival of Gilbert and Sullivan in August.
"G & S are very popular with amateur companies because their work is out of copyright," she says.
"You can alter the words and usually get by with just one set. And it's really good fun singing in the chorus because there are always big finales."
The mezzo is such a fan of musicals that she also belongs to Pirton Players and Stewartby Operatic. And she's roped in her family too.
Daughters Stevie, 20, and Rhiannon, 18, have taken part in several PBGS productions and husband Alan has been press-ganged "because we're so desperate for men."
> HMS Pinafore is at the Queen Mother Theatre in Hitchin from June 3 - 6.

Facebook update from Help Anton
On the boy's birthday we drove out to the cemetery to take leave Anton's birthday balloons and sign Happy Birthday to both of the boys. As we pulled up a graveside service for someone else had just ended and they were getting ready to put the dirt on the grave. My heart could not handle this so we left and came back a few hours later. As we were pulling out of the cemetery I was so overcome with grief for that other family, I just prayed for them as we drove away. It started raining pretty hard as we were driving around and I was not looking forward to being in the rain when we returned to the cemetery but I knew I just had to go so we could sing Happy BIrthday and leave Anton's balloons. As we pulled the car beside Anton's gravesite it stopped raining. It might sound strange but I was so thankful it stopped raining so I could have this moment I had planned on. We brought balloons to release but they flew out of the car as soon as we opened the door. Judah still wanted to release a balloon so we took one off of Anton's balloon bouquet. We sang Happy Birthday to Anton and Judah and then headed off to Judah's birthday party. It was so hard to drive away. My heart was so torn between Judah and Anton that day... - January 18, 2016 at 10:37PM http://ift.tt/1r2lUi4

We've told you before about what happens to people who try to take on Cristiano Ronaldo : it doesn't end well for them.
But if there is one man who might be able to come out victorious in a battle with the Ballon D'Or winner , it's Thomas Muller.
As well as having a World Cup winners' medal on his mantelpiece (something which the Real Madrid man doesn't), Muller has the self-belief, the arrogance - and the ball skills - to take on the most confident footballer in the history of the sport.
So maybe this clip of Muller messing about in training WON'T come back to haunt him. In fairness, we can't say for sure that he's mocking Ronaldo - but it sure does look like it.
The curiously upright stance. The weird dummy stepovers. The desperation to show the world just how quick his feet are. These are all things pretty unique to the Portuguese superstar, are they not?
Still, never mind Ronnie. Don't get too offended. If you want to get back at Muller, this clip of him dancing in a club should provide you with all the ammunition you will ever need…

This week, one of my colleagues at the school where I work gave a devotion about prayer. Now, prayer is a funny thing, it is many things to many people and is one of the things that is encouraged by most religions as something that is a worthwhile way to spend our time.
My colleague focused on the idea that prayer can be a quick commune with the divine and that God will know what we want before we know it ourselves. He used a quote from Jesus that advises on how to pray, right before Jesus gives his apostles the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6: 7. My colleague only focused on verse seven which talks about the Pagans babbling who sought to be heard with their long communication. My colleague was trying to encourage the students to even spend a small moment thinking about their relationship with God, he emphasised that they didn't have to be eloquent of a dissertation, just their heartfelt attention to God.
I personally would focus on the six verses before verse seven, that condem those who attempt to impress everyone with their piety, praying on street corners and the synagogues to be seen by men. Jesus tells us to go into our homes, lock our doors, fall to our knees and in secret pray to God. Our prayer is to be the simple form of the Our Father.
Magically this is an indication of my personal practice, I don't claim to be powerful of have all of the answers, a fast track to power or anything like that. I also don't give much though to those who claim to. I do have some associates who are powerful, powerful people, but they wouldn't admit it to anyone. It's the Australia way I guess... I am however able to do rituals that allow me to interact with higher orders of consciousness and engage with the hidden power behind all of the world in a small way. I am happy with my work and using Masonic pattern and systems is where I find myself more often than not.
I attended the Grand Installation of the Grand Lodge of Western Australia of Free and Accepted Masons the other week, there was no real magic to be found in the ritual, nothing of substance bar the obligation of the Grand Master and his Deputy. It was an open evening with guests and even the Govenor of WA being present. I could feel the difference in the whole approach to the evening. I could not percieve the powers flowing through the ritual as it usually does for me.
I was not disappointed by this as it was a public event, on the street corner shouting loudly to the world. I had not expected magic and I was actually glad it was not present.

Tough-as-nails tennis champion Serena Williams is spending her off-court time learning to become — a nail technician. She wrote on her Global Grind blog: "No one likes getting their nails done more than I do . . . I go every four days to get a manicure and every seven days for a pedicure. So, I had a brilliant idea to get certified to be a nail tech." Williams, winner of 12 grand slam singles titles, has enrolled at the Palm Beach Nail School to become a certified nail tech and will have to fork over $55 every two years to renew her license — which shouldn't be much sweat for a player who has made more than $30 million in tournament prizes. Serena added, "Don't be surprised if you hear about a part-time job I've picked up at a local nail salon."

[Video] HWBOT World Tour 2016 Asia – The Aftermovie
I feels like quite some time ago now, but in fact back in June of this year the HWBOT World Tour 2016 rolled up in its home town of Taipei and put together probably the biggest competitive OC event ever attempted by HWBOT. Today we are happy to share with you the Aftermovie, compiled by our buddy Trouffman at OverClocking-TV. The short movie captures all of the thrills of the event, including a recap of the exciting final between Hazzan and Xtreme Addict.
Running throughout the massive Computex technology show at the Nangang Exhibition Hall, dozens of Elite and Extreme overclockers competed for cash prizes throughout the week with LN2 laid on in abundance. There were also benching stations lined up to teach amateur overclockers the ropes with workshops available for all in attendance at the trade show. Amateurs were also allowed to compete against each other with semi-finals and a grand final to find out who was Amateur World Series Champion.
Of course Extreme overclocking took more of the limelight with intense competition happening on each day of the event. The contest was made all the more interesting in part because Intel had agreed to launch their new HEDT platform processors at the event, supplying Core i7 6950X chips for overclockers to compete with. This added an additional challenge for many overclockers, most of whom had little or no experience with the new Broadwell E platform.
Catch the aftermovie here on the OverClocking-TV YouTube channel and relive one of the most impressive OC events of recent times.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of waste-to-energy company Covanta (NYSE:CVA) fell 12.4% today after the company reported earnings.
So what: Third quarter revenue rose 3.6% to $427 million, and net income from continuing operations rose slightly to $28 million, or $0.28 per share. Revenue was in-line with estimates and earnings were ahead of estimates, but outlook is what's in focus today.
Full-year earnings guidance was lowered to $0.33-$0.43 per share from a previous range of $0.40-$0.50 per share and below estimates of $0.44.
Now what: Management says that unscheduled outages, lower than expected steam demand, and slower organic growth have resulted in the lower guidance. But keep in mind that the company begins a contract in New York in 2015, something management is already preparing for. The rest of this year and 2014 will be a challenge, but the long-term thesis is intact and Covanta has the opportunity to be a great buy if it can execute its strategy into 2015.

Stars hit the red carpet at the 2016 Olivier Awards in London.
Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie made their first off screen couple debut on the red carpet at the Olivier Awards in London. PDA's can go one of two ways, heart meltingly adorable or seriously cringe but thankfully, with these two it is the former.
The couple both in flawless red carpet attire (Rose in a strapless embroidered Malen Oddershede Bach gown and Kit in a sharp suit) looked every bit in love – there were limbs strategically placed and loving gazes into each other's eyes – and WE loved every minute of it.
ICYMI: Rose delivers the ultimate You Know Nothing line in a hilarious clip for Red Nose Day, but it's not what you think. (Skip to 5 mins 53 seconds)
Laura Carmichael stuns in Erdem.
Laura Carmichael wore the floral embellished Erdem Cassandra gown with Athena shoes from the spring/summer 2016 collection.
Gemma Arterton wore custom Jenny Packham to the awards.
The cast of The Maids (Laura Carmichael, Uzo Aduba and Zawe Ashton) also took to the red carpet.

This week, we learned all about the moral responsibilities that come with a toaster that makes golden toast and waited with Thor for the last bus. Plus, we're giving you yet another completely amazing trailer from Inhabited Island with more new footage of the blondie Russian space traveler and his new alien pals.We found an adorable little short about two boys who stumble across a magical toaster that turns ordinary breads into solid gold! The Toaster That Toasted the Golden Toast was written and directed by Danny Bourque and can be viewed in its entirety here. We grabbed a few fun pics below. In other funny scifi indie news, we've got the trailer for Thor At The Bus Stop (Thanks to Quiet Earth for pointing out this little gem). Don't let the generic indie guitar music fool you, this looks like quite a little cutie. The film follows Thor, the Norse God, on his last day on Earth, as he knows he must die to save the planet. On his final day, the fearless warrior traverses about a little suburb meeting people and causing a chain reaction through each character. Thor At The Bus Stop Trailer:
And finally, feast your eyes on the amazing new trailer from Russian scifi epic Inhabited Island. This is how you make a space movie: Find a pretty boy, put him in space, and then get him all dirty and angry. In Inhabited Island Maxim Kammerer crashlands on a planet wasted by nuclear destruction and ruled by unknown "fathers" who govern with mind-control towers.

Brian Kelly is the founder ThePointsGuy.com, a trusted source in both travel and luxury. Inspired by the idea of maximizing travel experiences while minimizing spending, Kelly noticed a gap in this emerging market while constantly on the road – spending over 6 months a year as a business traveler on Wall Street. In 2010, Kelly founded his site and it quickly became a leader in an ever-growing field of points related travel sites.
Kelly's roots in points maximizing date back to childhood, when he discovered a knack for using his father's airline miles to send his family on luxurious trips to the Caribbean for a fraction of the cost. His youthful curiosity for travel continued as he began working on Wall Street as a tech recruiter, spending the bulk of his time on the road. It was during this time that Kelly racked up enough points for incredible global adventures, even though his salary remained stagnant while working in Wall Street during the Great Recession.
One year after his first post, his blog gained global attention and respect that he left his banking job to pursue blogging as a full time career, hitting 1 million unique monthly visitors by 2014. The mission of ThePointsGuy.com is simple: provide readers with the tools they need to see and experience the world at a fraction of the cost by being smart about their finances.
Today, The Points Guy has over 2 million monthly unique visitors and employs 20+ experienced travel editors and writers who conceive unique editorial content that is further documented across the brand's growing social media platforms. In addition to overseeing all aspects of The Points Guy empire, Kelly has been featured in over 100 publications and news outlets including The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, The Los Angeles Times, The Independent, CNN, and The Today Show.
Kelly has presented at various travel conferences including the LA Times and New York Times Travel Shows and the annual Chicago Frequent Flyer Seminars. He is also a weekly contributor to Travel + Leisure, where he documents his explorations in applicable ways to the reader.
In 2016, the brand will expand to include The Points Guy TV, a new extension under TPG umbrella, where original video content will be brought to life through Kelly's curated lens. In addition to TPG TV, Kelly is currently developing both weekly podcasts as well as a book that highlights his travel tips, tools, and advice.


text: Alignment of tiny objects is an important task in the photonics industry. Fibers, waveguides and microlenses must be adjusted to maximize light throughput or to prepare for gluing or welding. Unfortunately, imaging systems used for automated component production in the micron range face optical limits. Physik Instrumente, a German manufacturer of photonic alignment systems, has developed a method that can determine the relation of apparent sizes and distances of objects viewed with a vision system to the real dimensions by reducing its measuring and positioning tasks to microns.In the measurement of apparent vs. real distance of two rectangular flat solids, the electrical contact of both solids determines when the real distance is zero (Figure 1). A calibrated piezo positioner then moves one solid to enlarge the distance between the solids with nanometer resolution.Figure 1. The lens system is positioned over two coated substrates that are mounted on a 3-D piezo stage (left) and on a 6-D hexapod system (right).The rectangular solids consist of well-finished glass substrates. To detect the distance between the two substrates, a 0.5-µm layer of sputtered nickel is made. That layer enables the detection of the electrical contact. One substrate is mounted on a 3-D piezoelectric stage (NanoCube) and the second one, on the platform of the fine alignment station hexapod. The smallest step size of the NanoCube is 2 nm. To ensure that the front planes of the solids are coplanar and the observed top edges are parallel, the two solids must be aligned in six degrees of freedom. The NanoCube System was calibrated by a laser interferometer. Both parts were lightly clamped on a ceramic plate to avoid friction. An illumination system with a row of LEDs was placed under a diffuse plastic sheet. The LEDs was transmit light, while the imaging system views from the top. The imaging system consists of an objective with 13.3X magnification mounted to a tube, which is connected to a standard CCIR camera.With this setup, we could guarantee a predetermined distance between the two substrates to about 0.01 µm. This high resolution was achieved by using piezo technology.The glass objects are aligned with Physik Instrumente's Motion & Vision software so that the front planes are parallel. The top edges of the front planes are positioned into the field of view and moved into the focal plane with an autofocus routine. The substrates are moved until the gap is closed and electrical contact is established. At this point, the measurement begins. The NanoCube (resolution Figure 2. The apparent distance measured optically is plotted vs. the real distance of two rectangular substrates. The left graph shows the linear relation for large distances, while the right plot focuses on the critical small distances.In the graph at left, the slope for distances larger than 5 µm is 1.01 ±0.001. This error of 1 percent may be caused by the calibration. The extrapolation of this linear fit to 0 determines the offset of 0.75 to 1 µm, which means a systematic error of less than 1 µm for distance measurements. For small distances (right graph), the relation is no longer linear, which is probably due to diffraction.With the method, a calibration of the camera system can be performed. This method allows positioning and alignment of components down to 1 µm. Without the calibration, the measured distances are higher than the real distances, which might cause the optical components to collide.

Jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli, whose mid-1930s partnership with the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt in the Quintet of the Hot Club of France resulted in some of the first important jazz performances to emerge from players born outside the United States, died Monday in Paris.
According to his manager, Michel Chouanard, Grappelli died of complications after undergoing a hernia operation. He was 89.
In a career that reached from the 1920s to the mid-1990s, Grappelli, the last survivor of a small group of pioneering jazz violinists who emerged in the pre-World War II years, demonstrated a capacity to play in virtually every imaginable musical environment without abandoning the essentials of his own style.
"If jazz had been born in France, this is how it might all have sounded," wrote jazz critic Leonard Feather in 1985, "suave and sophisticated, its rhythms infinitely gentle yet quintessentially swinging."
Different in style and manner from the other significant jazz violinists of his era--Stuff Smith, Eddie South, Joe Venuti and Sweden's Svend Asmussen--Grappelli was their equal in terms of creativity and swing. In addition, his musical open-mindedness has had significant impact upon such younger violinists as Jean Luc Ponty, Didier Lockwood and L. Subramaniam.

On Assignment: Ridgeland, Mississippi-Day One
"The Moth" by Wes Aldridge
Ok. Today was a bit of a chore. I drove down the Natchez Trace Parkway from Nashville, Tennessee to Ridgeland, MIssissippi. Bad idea. I was originally told it would take 5 hours to make the drive. I thought, "Ah, 5 hours isn't so bad."
Well, let me tell ya it took longer than 5 hours. Let's do some math. The distance to Ridgeland from our Franklin office is right around 350 miles. If an automobile were traveling at theconstant rate of 70 mph for 5 hours, then in fact, my trip should have only taken 5 hours. But, see, here is the kicker... I found out today that the Natchez Trace Parkway is 50 mph, except in some places where the speed limit bottoms out at a sludge-rate of 40 mph. Well, that pretty much sucks for me.
Let's pretend that the 40 mph zones didn't even exist. Then, the 350-mile trip would take 7 hours, with no stops of course. Well, lets throw in gargantuan thunder storms throughout most of the journey. Hehe. It got so bad at one point that I had to pull off the Parkway and sit for 45-minutes to let the storm pass because I literally couldn't see the yellow lines on the road in front of me, much less oncoming vehicles or those total idiots that don't believe in turning their head and tail lights on during a storm. Throw in couple of pitstops at a total of 15-minutes and there you have it.
It totally and completely wasted the entire day of photography (as if I could have shot anything in the monsoon and haze anyway). I think that I listened to that Coldplay album 7 times. It kept me kind of mellowed out, thank God.
Anyway, at one of the pitstops along the Parkway, I saw this huge creature resting on the wall leading to the men's room. I thought he was just too bizarre not to take a shot of. So, here is a big green moth. Kind of evil looking, ain't he?

"We try and leave our egos at the door when we come into the studio and just focus on writing the best possible songs that we can"
Hermitude began as a friendship over a shared love of music, making beats and digging for samples. Growing up in the bushy Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia;their surroundings became a huge influence on the music they created. The adventure of sifting through old and rare music and creating their own blend of instrumental hip-hop was intoxicating and Luke Dubs and Elgusto were hooked.
"We were creating our own landscape using all these elements as the paint."
After three albums, Dubs and Elgusto moved deeper into electronic brushstrokes for HyperParadise and Dark Night Sweet Light, focusing less on sampling and more on their songwriting and the exploration of textures. They've come a long way since grappling with old S2000 samplers in their childhood homes – but their music continues to echo these humble beginnings.
It's all about the balance.
"We laugh and enjoy ourselves a lot in the process of making music. However, we often
try and push our own boundaries so we're just out of our comfort zone. When we challenge ourselves, that is where we can end up making some really cool shit"
With a hunger for finding new influences and developing their craft, the duo worked and shared stages with the likes of Big K.R.I.T, Flume, ODESZA, Estelle, Keys N Krates, Ta-Ku and many more; they became part of the Soundcloud generation, introducing them to a community of electronic innovators and tastemakers.
They now find themselves touring and selling out shows here and abroad most months of the year. Adored in Australia and building a huge following around the world, they have refined a distinct and sophisticated sound that is Hermitude.

November 4, 2016
One year ago today, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It may have been the single biggest shock my system has ever endured. I think I went through all five stages of grief in less than ten minutes (and have since repeated those stages about fourteen times, lingering through each one as if I expect a miracle to come my way if only I am somehow patient enough.)
For me, the most challenging part of cancer has been the mirror. It isn't all vanity, though that certainly has played a role. It's more about this sudden need to feel normal, to find comfort in the most uncomfortable of situations. So, you turn to the person who knows you the best, only she isn't there. You have been replaced by this weird looking stranger. There is no greater feeling of isolation than when you can't even find yourself.
As my appearance changed on a daily basis, I began this little project. It took a minute to get used to the idea of taking "selfies". I always thought those should be reserved for Instagramming teens and the Kardashian sisters. Perhaps in the beginning, it was so that I could prove that at one point in time, I was borderline, pretty. Like my small way of giving cancer the middle finger and saying, "you can make me ugly, but I have photographic evidence that it's all your fault!" As time went on and my hair thinned and face did the opposite, the selfie project became more about curiosity and wanting to track the daily metamorphosis.
As the year went on, the project took on a life of it's own, and in a strange way, I believe it kept me strong. By giving me something to focus on, it allowed me to begin living more in the moment. Even when the moments were grueling, it was healing in a way to be living through them rather than wishing them away or worse… going into self-pity mode. Taking the pictures forced me to think for a minute about how I was feeling. Some days were good and other days I couldn't get out of bed. But when you allow yourself to feel everything, even the tough times, then when you finally feel joy, it's just that much sweeter. Feel the sorrow when it presents itself. Mourn what you need to mourn and then remember to give God the glory for all that you have.
When we live in the moment, it becomes easier to notice and find pure joy in the little things, like the quirky smile of a loved one or the way a fresh cut orange smells. Smile and be grateful for those things. Taste your morning coffee. I mean, really taste it. Sit outside when it's cool, feel the sun on your face, and thank God that He put you here. Watch your children play. Play with them, and love the moment you are in. Resentment and negativity will no longer feel welcome in your life and you will feel it diminish.
Someone told me once that "this" (meaning my cancer) was just a tiny dot on the map of my life. That I would pass by it and once on the other side, it would seem inconsequential. She was right. Life is good. Life is beautiful, actually, and I owe all I have to Him, the One who takes our challenges and uses them to make us stronger.

Through September 30, year-to-date returns for the lowest rated companies were -5.5%, vs. 8.4% for the highest rated companies, or a spread of 13.9%. The spread widened significantly during the summer months, in contrast to many quantitative models used by leading investment managers.
As in multi-year studies, this measure of corporate integrity has been a consistent indicator of investment returns. High risk companies underperform the market by a wide margin, while companies exhibiting high levels of integrity show returns much higher than market averages.
The average annual spread between the worst and best-rated companies from 1997-2006 was 21.5%.
âTwo things are clear from our research,â said Jack Zwingli, CEO of Audit Integrity. âFirst, the ratings work overall, but they worked particularly well during difficult markets. The results during the volatile summer months were similar to what we saw during the turbulent years after the dot com crash. Two things are likely happening â an investor âflight to qualityâ and an exposing of weak companies when times get tough.
âSecond, these ratings are unique, as they have virtually no correlation to conventional fundamental or valuation analysis,â he added. âEven more noteworthy than the good performance of our best rated firms this summer was the deep valley of negative returns from our worst rated companies.
The share prices of these high-risk firms didnât artificially rise in short squeezes during July and August, because few were being recognized as short-sell opportunities by conventional approaches.â
The year-to-date (YTD) analysis showed that the performance of the equity risk ratings grew stronger during the dramatic market volatility from June through September. The underperformance of low-rated companies accelerated, as cumulative YTD investor returns dropped from 4.5% in May to .5 % in June, -5.7% in July to -9% in August.
Both the year-to-date and 10-year returns analyses were conducted using the Equity Performance Risk ratings of Audit Integrity. These are derived from the firmâs flagship Accounting and Governance Risk (AGR^® ) scores, a comprehensive measure of corporate integrity. The tests were conducted using the FactSet Alpha Testing application. Audit Integrity recently began providing its ratings via the FactSet service.

Imagine my joy upon discovering that Regent, a new bakery (with an additional location in Redmond), would be opening right around the corner from me. And imagine my further happiness upon seeing that they also offer a full menu (Chinese food) and bar (which is really a cozy, hip, and tasty little space). I explored some of their many offerings in all three areas (dinner, drinks, dessert), but came away feeling that the main reason to visit this place is to stock up on cakes and breads.
The cakes looked good, but what really made me drool was the bread selection:
While I find Asian cakes to be too light for my taste, I LOVE the extreme eggy bread you find at Asian pastry shops. To be fair, though, I tried one of each – a cake and a bread. For the cake, I went with the owner's recommendation and got a piece of the chocolate-hazelnut cake.
It was indeed pretty light, but nearly as airy as some others I've tried, and the chocolate-hazelnut flavor was intense enough for me (and wasn't too sweet). LOVED it, and now I have to rethink my antipathy toward Asian cakes. Even better, however, was the bread. I chose a loaf of raisin bread to take home with me, and ate a couple slices for breakfast the next morning:
That night, I brought the rest of the loaf over to a friend's house, and we ate the entire thing (lightly grilling each piece in a generously buttered skillet). I've never enjoyed raisin bread as much as I did this loaf, and I will surely be back for more.

Report: EU has about 6,500 TV channels
U.K. leads with 883; Germany, 300; Italy, 284BRUSSELS -- There are almost as many porn TV channels in Europe as there are TV channels in Spain, the European Audiovisual Observatory revealed Wednesday.
Adult and erotic audiences can count on no fewer than 190 separate channels, while the entire Spanish national market has just 199, the Strasbourg-based EAO said.
The figures, drawing on the EAO's newly created Mavise database, show European audiences have a choice of about 6,500 TV channels.
Of the 5,068 active channels registered in the database, 381 are national terrestrial channels, 2,473 are national cable, satellite or IPTV channels and 1,809 are regional and local channels.
The U.K. has by far the most, with 883, compared with 300 in Germany, 284 in Italy and 252 in France. Britain's leading position is explained not only by the large number of thematic channels but also by those set up in the country and targeting other European countries.
Only 376 channels can be described as generalist, while there are 333 for film, 324 for sports, 238 for music, 201 for news and business, 189 for children, 149 for religion, 135 for documentaries, 103 for home shopping, 26 for games, 26 for travel, 20 for government/parliament and nine weather channels.

Good morning everyone! Thanks for tuning in again today!
Let me take you on a short trip. Today, I'll be showing you one of my favourite places in Rome: Forum Romanum.
Forum Romanum used to be the buzzing center of ancient Rome. It's filled with ruins these days and even though the buildings aren't intact anymore, they are very impressive.
The picture below is a picture of what the old city center looks like from a 'bird's perspective'. I actually didn't realise how much ruins there were until I shot this picture.
I can't help but wonder what this must have looked like in the past?
Sometimes I really wish time travelling was a thing. It's so breathtaking now, I can't imagine what it was like back then.
Sometimes I really wish time travelling was a thing. It's so breathtaking now, I can't imagine what it was like back then.
Let the pictures blow your mind!
You can easily spend a whole day exploring Forum Romanum. We spent the whole morning, and after that we went to the Colosseum.
You literally just have to cross the street to get to the Colosseum, so that's quite nice.
This place is for sure in my top three of favourite places to see in Rome.
Have you ever been there? What are your favourite places in Rome (if you've been there)? Or where would you like to go?
Thanks for reading!

Man accused of abducting girl returns to Va.
ROANOKE, Va. – A suspect has been returned to Virginia to face charges that he abducted a 12-year-old girl and took her to California after her mother was killed.
Authorities say 32-year-old Jeffrey Easley arrived in Roanoke Wednesday night.
He's being held at the Roanoke County-Salem Jail without bail. His arraignment on charges of abduction and credit card fraud has been postponed until Friday afternoon because of a winter storm.
The girl, Brittany Smith, was with Easley when police arrested him last week outside a San Francisco supermarket.
The girl went missing after authorities found the body of her mother, Tina Smith, on Nov. 29. The death is considered a homicide. Easley had been the woman's live-in boyfriend.

Under my valve cover when I changed my seal I
noticed that all of my rockers were golden except 2
of them the 2 were kinda black what does that
1 Answer
If it's a tarnished metal look, you're probably OK. If there's any type of physical sludge buildup on the metal itself (in other words, you can't make out the fine casting details of the rocker arm) then I'd suggest checking your PCV system, replace the PCV valve if you've never replaced it, and make sure you're changing your oil at the manufacturer's suggested intervals. If you don't drive often, or only drive short distances, it is typically suggested that you change your oil every 6-12 months, depending on the type and quality of the oil in question.

In 2013, Todd Ross, owner of the Westlake Village-based mortgage brokerage, The Ross Group, started serving waffles to neighboring businesses and clients to "encourage a sense of community. At the time, he had no idea how popular the idea would become. 'Our first event, we caused a power surge in our office as we connected five waffle makers into one power strip. It was a mess, but a lot of fun," said Ross, a Thousand Oaks resident. "We saw how free food, coffee and a variety of people could create a couple hours of fun and socializing for everyone."
Originally conceived as a mid-week pick-me-up, "Waffle Wednesday" evolved into an opportunity to raise funds and awareness for local charities. In November of 2015, Ross joined forces with five nearby small businesses in The Courtyard at Westlake for the Action Foundation. "Each donated $200 to help buy toys for a pop Christmas toy shoppe where toys were donated for local low income families," said Ross. "We had waffles, fried chicken made on the spot, beer, wine, Santa Clause, a DJ, and lots of volunteers help us. This began the new way of doing Waffle Wednesday, having volunteers help in the preparation and serving as well as hosting one of the charities we love."
The foundation went on to raise money for the non-profits skipt.org and ugandabuyamba.com.
On August 17, from 5-8 p.m., Waffle Wednesday will host its biggest event yet for Hoops of Hope, an organization created by a nine-year-old boy in 2004 to help orphans in Zambia. "Hoops of Hope is one of the four charities we love," said Ross, who has three kids of his own. "Austin Gutwein … and I met when he was 14. I was intrigued how he started this organization … by raising money through shooting basketball hoops. He didn't allow being a kid stop him from making a difference in someone else's life. [The orphans] virtually no overhead which was another draw to make sure the money gets to those its intended to help."
The Hoops of Hope event, which will take place in the parking lot of 3625 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd, in Thousand Oaks, is free to the public and will feature chicken waffle sliders (donated by Chick-file-A), a kid zone, a DJ and lots of basketball. Participants pay for the opportunity to shoot hoops.
The foundation is currently recruiting sponsored teams to participate. They are also seeking volunteers to help out. Anyone interested can write to [email protected]


text: SOUTH BEND -- Funeral services for Cpl. Nick Polizzotto will be at 10 a.m. today at the Joyce Center at the University of Notre Dame. A procession from the Joyce Center to Southlawn Cemetery, which is expected to begin between 12:15 p.m. and 12:30 p.m., will follow the funeral, according to a City of South Bend release. A map with the route can be found at www.southbendpolice.com/news/index.htm. The motorcade is expected to take about an hour and a half to reach the cemetery. Any locations along the route, including intersections, the Cooper Bridge, and entrances to homes or businesses are expected to be blocked for 20 to 30 minutes while the motorcade passes, according to the release. The South Bend Fire Department will also be raising the Garrison Flag over Sample Street as the procession passes South Bend Police Headquarters.

|Official bib number 40598. Start time: 5:52 A-freaking-M!
They were quite cheery as they announced, "One month from today!" Gulp. I cannot believe it's almost here!
I just finished my final 20 mile training run about an hour ago. As I sit here sipping my green smoothie (coconut water, pineapple, spinach, a couple strawberries and a half of a frozen banana - yumtastic)
and wearing my new compression socks (people swear by them after a long run...supposed to be like a little massage for your legs and feet. I hope they are right because my feet are tired!)
|Compression Socks!! Supposed to speed up the recovery of your legs and feet.
I am a bit worried about how calm I am. In the past, when I'm at that official one month out mark of a marathon, I start getting all jacked up and nervous. Not this time. I just feel calm. I think it's because I really, really, really just want this day to be special. It isn't about getting in at a certain time - beating every other time I've ever ran which is how I'm usually thinking - it's about really taking in the day and the surroundings and just thinking about Dad. I still get goosebumps every time I think about the fact that marathon day is also Father's Day. For me, that just reinforces that he will be there with me by my side the entire way. I'm going to take photos during the run, enjoy the view, think about all of you who have been so incredibly supportive and try and take it all in.
I even bought new shoes this past week. Now that is a sign of calmness...new shoes a month out!? I tested them out yesterday for an easy 10-miler and they felt really good so I went with them again for the 20-miler. No blisters so I'll take that as a positive!
|Murphy getting a little too close to my new shoes!

Spinal Decompression/Traction
The NEW Treatment for Low Back and Neck Pain… Spinal Decompression at Quality of Life Chiropractic
Do you suffer from low back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, pinched nerves, sciatica, or even a failed back surgery?
Have you tried medications, pain management, painful injections or physical therapy without relief? Have you been told surgery is your only other option?
In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems and severe back and neck pain usually was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren't progressing they were sent for spinal surgery.
Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option… until now.
Today, you don't have to live with that pain anymore. Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of chiropractors, physicians, and medical engineers; Spinal Decompression was developed to effectively treat neck and lower back pain, radiating pain such as pins and needles, pain down arms and legs as well as sciatica. This type of pain is most commonly from herniated or deteriorated discs.
Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back and neck pain in many patients, but also enables many patients to return to more active lifestyles.

The Cleveland Browns will start Brian Hoyer over Johnny Manziel in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced on Wednesday.
Head coach Mike Pettine praised Hoyer in a statement, but added this telling explanation, "We've maintained all along that if it was close, I would prefer to go with the more experienced player."
That's not exactly a ringing endorsement. Neither player has been good in the preseason. Hoyer's stat line (8-for-20, 108 passing yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs) is just as rough as Manziel's (14-for-27, 128 passing yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs).
So why is Hoyer getting the nod?
The simple, non-salacious answer is that Manziel just isn't ready. At the beginning of training camp Manziel spoke about the steepness of the learning curve, and how the NFL was a "180" from what he did in college:
"It's not something that I should just come in here and naturally (know) because I played well in college. I should just know how to run this offense. It's a complete 180 from everything that I've been used to, and it's going to take time. It's a process coming from a spread, air-raid system in college to a pro style system that's very unfamiliar with me as far as terminology and routes and being under center a lot more, but it's not something that I can't handle and it's not something that I'm going to continue to strive and work for and try to get better at."
This is something that Eagles coach Chip Kelly, one of the most forward-thinking people in the NFL, talked about over the summer as well. We just don't realize how many small things go into transitioning from the college to the pros.
Manziel's tepid preseason performance — where he failed to outshine a sub-par Hoyer — seems to back up the theory that he still needs more time in the oven, for lack of a better analogy. The Browns have nothing to gain by starting him before he's ready to succeed.
The second, juicier theory for why Manziel isn't starting has little to do with actual football.
We usually wouldn't put too much stock in this theory, but Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot (who knows the team more than anyone) seems to think there's something to it:
Since getting drafted Manziel has found himself in a bunch of small controversies. He was photographed with a rolled up dollar bill in a Las Vegas bathroom and took a picture where he pretended a huge stack of money was a phone:
He also flipped off the Redskins sideline during the second preseason game:
Fans love this stuff. Sports is entertainment, and Johnny Manziel is one of the more entertaining personalities in the league.
The NFL world hates it though.
When asked about the middle finger on Tuesday, Pettine said, "We'll take into account all things quarterbacks A to Z, so it's a body of work. It's everything from the time they set foot in the building back in the spring up until today."
The implication is that all this stuff matters.
Ultimately, Manziel would be playing if he was clearly better than Hoyer. He hasn't been, and by his own admission the transition to the NFL has been difficult. The petty non-football controversies may not have been that harmless, but they didn't help either.
