Retrial ordered in dispute between radio stations
Citing insufficient evidence, a Ventura County judge has granted a new trial in a lawsuit that pitted two Oxnard-based Spanish-language radio stations and resulted in a jury awarding $553,000 in damages in November.
The Ventura County Superior Court jury awarded the judgment on Nov. 6 to Gold Coast Radio LLC, which operates FM 103.7 KMLA, also known in Spanish as "La M," and a promoter, Universo Musical. The station is neither affiliated with, nor owned by, Gold Coast Broadcasting LLC of Ventura, which owns six radio stations.
The jury awarded the damages to the plaintiffs in their business dispute with Lazer Broadcasting Corp., which owns 17 radio stations, including three in the county.
The plaintiffs alleged that Lazer Broadcasting intentionally interfered with Gold Coast Radio customers, advertisers and musical performers in an attempt to undercut its business.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Henry Walsh said Wednesday there was insufficient evidence to support the jury's decision.
Walsh also denied Lazer's legal motion to rule in its favor, according to court records. Instead, Walsh set the case for retrial on March 9.
Lazer's lawyer, Greg Ramirez, said Thursday that his client, Lazer Broadcasting owner Alfredo Plascencia, was happy with the judge's decision but "extremely upset" that he and his corporation have to suffer through the litigation.
"We are very satisfied that he (Walsh) saw and acknowledged the lack of evidence, and we hope the next jury gets it right," Ramirez said. The attorney said the process has imposed a significant cost on Lazer to defend itself. "They've been battered and bruised for no reason," Ramirez said.
The plaintiffs' lawyer, Gary Schwartz of Encino, said he was disappointed by the judge's decision because, according to Schwartz, the plaintiffs were able to prove their case "beyond doubt."
He said he doesn't know yet whether his clients will take the judge's decision to an appeals court or whether the parties in the lawsuit will settle it rather than go to trial.
Schwartz had argued at the trial that the case pitted Goliath against David, arguing that the radio station was taking on its larger rival.
In his ruling, Walsh stated that the plaintiffs had failed to put on their two key witnesses who could have explained the plaintiffs' allegations against Lazer.
"Without them, plaintiffs' evidence consisted of the subjective belief of the plaintiffs and their reliance on rumor and hearsay," Walsh stated, noting that the legal process cautions against relying on weaker evidence when stronger evidence is available.
In November, Walsh also ruled on Lazer's counterclaim against Gold Coast, ordering the Gold Coast station KMLA to stop claiming to be No. 1 in Ventura County because such a claim would be false and misleading.
For its part, Gold Coast Radio denied having made such a claim and said that "if any employees did so, management would see that it stopped."

Cat & Dove Game
Our poor cats get tormented by the birds who come and sit on our fire escape. Here's how are tabby is spending his Labor Day weekend.
Looking out the window intently.
This dove is sitting calmly on our fire escape basically saying "I dare you."
He is so tense with frustration.
I can only imagine this is what he's thinking.

Spring is just around the corner at the Atlanta History Center and for our furry friends at the Smith Family Farm that means it's time for their annual haircuts! Dana, Buster, Hercules, and Ida Mae will be the headlining act at this year's Sheep to Shawl on Saturday, April 8 where you can help in the process of how our sheep's wool will become a piece of clothing.
To tell us a little more about this process, let's meet Natalie Flynn, historical interpreter at the Smith Family Farm. Natalie has worked at the Atlanta History Center since April 2014 and has mastered many skills from 19th century. Not only can she sew her own historic clothing, she can also weave on the ca. 1845 loom housed inside the Tullie Smith House.
One of Natalie's many accomplishments while working on the Smith Family Farm has been making shawls and blankets from the sheep's wool. So, how does wool come from the sheep and become a shawl?
Shearing of the sheep takes place in early spring. Using electric shears, our expert sheep shearer carefully removes the fleece of each sheep, which comes off in one piece. In 2016, our sheep produced over 20 pounds of wool after their annual shearing. (Hercules produced the most at 6.6 pounds!)
Once the fleece has been inspected and the unusually dirty wool has been removed from the batch, the wool is washed in hot water with mild soap. Washing removes grease, dirt (and poop) from the raw wool. Moving through a series of cleaning tubs, followed by clean-water rinses, the fleece is then dried.
Dyeing can take place either before or after the wool has been spun to yarn. At the Smith Family Farm, we like to dye the wool before we spin it—this ensures the wool will have a concise, even color throughout. Some of our favorite natural substances to use for dyeing are indigo, black walnut, and staghorn sumac. Staghorn sumac actually grows at the Smith Family Farm, too!
Carding is the process of cleaning, separating, and straightening out the wool fibers. This is the last step in preparing fleece for spinning.
After carding, the wool fibers are now aligned with one another and the carded wool resembles cotton candy (but don't eat it!) The spinning process takes the carded wool and twists it into thread or yarn. Twisting the wool strands increases the strength of the yarn and creates the continuous, unbroken yarn necessary for weaving into cloth.
Once the wool has been spun into yarn, it can be used on the loom to weave. Weaving is the interlacing of two sets of yarn together at 90 degree angles. The warp consists of thread laid parallel to one another, stretched across the loom. The weft is then pulled through the warp in an under-over-under pattern, creating a single joined piece of fabric when completed.
Now that you have basic knowledge of how wool comes from a sheep and is transformed into a shawl, come to the Atlanta History Center on Saturday, April 8 for our annual Sheep to Shawl program to see the process in person! Who knows, you might even be asked to help wash the wool.

Every new player in the scooter starts from looking up at the slippery posture of the old driver, watching the old driver manipulate the scooter as smooth as the clouds and water. However, do everything with skill, or do hard work, maybe technology or stop before, so not only to clean up, but also affect your own mood. Today, We teaches you a few skateboarding skills
First, the novice, should play the basic skills, must not be in order to face the heart, should be calm and smooth from the most basic straight line start practice, pay attention to practice, must hold the handle of the scooter in both hands, as far as the single foot (left foot or right foot, according to personal habits) in the front of the skateboard, the other one The inclination of the foot on the ground with a slight tread on the ground.
Second, when skiing, grasp the handle, grasp the direction, keep the body slightly forward, push the single foot backward and push backwards. After the skidding smooth, the foot on the ground can be placed on the skateboard which is close to the rear wheel brake cover, so that the right foot can be relieved and the brake can be quickly stepped in the tight situation.
Third, if you need to turn in the process of skiing, do not have to be calm, do not panic, the body should be adjusted according to the direction of the need to turn, keep the direction of turning and the direction of the body tilt, and if you meet the situation of emergency turn, remember to adjust the body immediately after the tilt, and hold the handle of the good car backwards. In this way, there is a sense of surfing and a guarantee of safety. Of course, if you choose a rice scooter, this situation does not need to be considered, because the high scooter has a gravity steering system, very convenient and fast, just to control the brakes and push the foot forward.

At the bottom of where the Crack finally opens out, there's a ledge that angles very steeply up to the left. It's horribly exposed, and I felt safer in the Crack itself since I had no problem getting up - it's more technique than strength. But that ledge goes all the way around to the top, with nothing more than boulder scramble. There aren't any horrible technical moves, "just" a lethal exposure from a narrow ledge.
These folks are showing what it looks like.
As I said, the Crack is safer, but if you absolutely can't find a move that gets you up it, the ledge is easier technically.
The way I did that 35-foot slab on Slide was to come up on the south side of it as far as it's easy boulder scramble. There's a crack right in front of your nose at that point that has a lot of good holds, but for me it's off width. I'd be climbing outside it and reaching in, and that's no fun. I had a full pack that day (I was doing a 3-night outing) and didn't think I could do it safely with a pack throwing me off balance.
Instead, from the base of that crack, there's a solid edge a couple of inches wide that you can follow around all the way to the north side of it, where there's about a waist-high mantel (on me, but I'm tallish) and a little bit more boulder scramble back to obvious trail. You can balance by holding onto tree roots just about the whole way.
If you look at the five pictures starting at https://www.flickr.com/photos/mountainvisions/3183604743/in/photostream/, Amy shows how it's done. She gets up on the edge on the left-hand (south) side, works it all the way across to the right (north), and scrambles up to the broad ledge at the top. It's easier than the pictures make it look. Just keep your head and move deliberately.
I've only done the west side of Cornell once. I don't remember the specific lemon squeezer you're asking about, but I probably was able to get good friction holds on the two sides. The rock up there is grippy as sandpaper. I wasn't even in approach shoes, just trail runners.

Information and communication technologies hold real promise to meet these threats and opportunities in two particular areas: 1) as tools for land use planning and management, and 2) as risk management tools for climate change adaptation.
Given the importance of green growth in the agriculture sector—and the potential for ICT to contribute—ARD is hosting the second e-forum on "ICT Innovation for Green Growth" in partnership with FAO and the e-agriculture community. This forum will explore how ICT is being used to reduce the climate effects that stem from agriculture. It also explores how ICT can increase climate-smart agricultural practices. Subject matter experts, who will respond to questions and provide insights on this topic, include:
- Bruce Campbell: Director of Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security Program (CGIAR)
- Marjory-Ann Bromhead: Adviser on Natural Resource Management (World Bank)
- Ademola Braimoh: Soil scientist and GIS Specialist (World Bank)
- Rodomiro Ortiz: Professor of Genetics and Plant Breeding (Swedish University of Agriculture Sciences)
- Elizabeth Dodsworth: Global Director for Knowledge Management (CABI)
- Eric Seuret: Technology Consultant (Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture)
- Pierre C. Sibiry Traore: Remote Sensing Scientist & Head of GIS (ICRISAT)
- Pai-Yei Whung: Environmental Adviser (World Bank)
This forum will serve as a continuation of the on-going debates during SDN week and at the World Bank, and will be linked to the content of the "ICT in Agriculture" Sourcebook.
Jamal Saghir, Director of the Sustainable Development Department (Africa Region) at the World Bank, highlights the importance of climate-smart agriculture in addressing climate change in Africa specifically in the following video:

A Natural Wonder… The Blog!
A few months after purchasing my first laptop and starting a new acquaintance with the Cyber world, learning computer functions, applications and the World Wide Web, the computer developers throws something else in the computing pot, Blogs. I had just come to understand computer safety and protection. Purchased a anti-virus, program, installed the program and wondered, "what's next?"
Blogging was next. I barely understood "Word or Excel." Oh, I had a very generic understanding of Computers, its hardware, its software, the input and output of data, but only in mouthing these units . My understanding of computers, outside of imput, lacked practical use.
Personal Computers had hit the market; the cost was coming down and I wanted a computer. This want came after my second year in graduate school. My first year in grad school found me in the University's computer lab crying because an assignment that required the use of a Spreadsheet for which I knew nothing. Having no idea how to use a spreadsheet, I tried to get one of the lab students to help me, but she was cold, distant and indifferent. Well, I just sat there for a few hours looking at the Window screen until I figured how to map out New York Counties' median incomes in a logical format. I didn't use a spreadsheet… I used a Word program built a chart of Counties, Incomes, Populations and handed in the project receiving a decent grade.
At that moment, I knew I had to spend many hours in that computer lab. I taught myself how to build documents. I learned how to use a spreadsheet, excel. I learned the World Wide Web. I was surfing the net. I learned the language, a sort of cyber vocabulary. In my early years of learning computers, I had no interest in the web or internet. So, terms like Blog, Instant Messaging, White Paper, Microsoft Windows meant very little.
It's no wonder after people learned the technical stuff, a unique idea like Blogging would catch hold of the computing universe. Everyone Blogs, doctors, lawyers, governors, mayors, the business community and actors blog.
For me, Blogging allows relaxation; a shedding of stress, axes anxieties of the week, month or days to come. Blogging allows people to show of f his talents that twenty years ago, no medium existed outside the published media which you had to have great talent with a following, agent or someone to hold your hand to before you could break into the field. Today, Blogging lets you build your own media base, promote yourself without the agent.
With a blog, people hide inner emotions or hide deep-seated mental health problems. People who might have blogged for the first time might discover hidden talents of writing, public relations skills, sales abilities.
Blogging allows me to blow my bugle. I can act anyway I want, say what I want as long as I don't offend others. I can and will share recipes. Give pointers on sexual exploration with partners.
This blog will template my daily adventures, heartaches, happiness, love, hates, histories and of course, deploy current events.
The About Me… page might become an About Me manuscript…
More About Me:
There are two major situations going on in my life now, all of which defines me as a person. We will tackle each situation one on one:
First: Unemployment. I am now unemployed. Unemployed since 1996, ok you do the math. Never in anyone of my natural days upon the Creator's earth did I plan on being unemployed. Unemployment was a word I never had to use, only in the course of discussions that never involved my life. Yet, I find myself unable to remember what actually led to my current unemployed plight.
Oh, I remember. There was a robbery. A co-worker going through my pocketbook found an objectionable object. My co-worker claimed she was trying to find an emergency telephone number. She wanted to tell my family of a medical emergency. I had dozed off at my desk. I was so tired. Hadn't slept in a few days. My neighbor had died. The police determined it was murder and everyone came under suspicion. Terrified living across the hall from the murdered girl, I stayed up at night, afraid of any noise made by the old rickety building, I never slept. As a matter of fact, the dead body was in the apartment for a few before discovery. Imagined how I felt coming home from work learning of this situation. Detectives combing the neighborhood, the building for evidence. I had nothing to give.
At any rate, I dozed off at my desk. This was during lunch time, but when my colleague tried to wake me and I didn't respond, an ambulance, called to help. Going through my pocketbook which was unnecessary for the office manager, she maintained personnel files. She violated my privacy. Well, going through my pocketbook, my gun discovered by staff caused problems. I was ratted out, arrested at my job a few days later and forced to resign. I am now in the early stages of employment seeking.
About Me:
Secondly: Quitting, I want to stop smoking cigarettes. This is an emergency. I have smoked cigarettes more than half of my life, not only can I afford to buy cigarettes, but smoking cigarettes is very unhealthy, unattractive, unhealthy and costly. Now that tobacco manufacturers tied a hefty price tag on a pack of cigarettes to subsidize taxes charged, I must stop. Quitting is a problem within itself, but when I think about all other problems accompanied by a tobacco habit, leaving cigarettes alone seems easier.
Elsewhere, in this blog is a running tally of my daily smoking adventures, giving real counts of the number of cigarettes I smoke in a day. So far, I have smoked six cigarettes. Cutting back is the most logical course of action for me now. Cold turkey is unrealistic. Cold turkey can cause health problems.
Any single number or count of cigarettes ingested is greater than the numbers I counted a year ago, a month ago. Soon, I will just stop and feel no use for cigarettes. The need for a cigarette after a meal, lifted. A cigarette after I hear a funny joke, lifted. A cigarette while in the lady's room, lifted and most of all, the famous cigarette after a night of frenzied sexcapades, lifted. All the lies I tell myself why I need a cigarette will soon, lift away.
All the reason I rationalize to smoke cigarettes, guess what? These reasons are universal. Most cigarette smokers use the same reasons and rationalizations to lite up a cigarette. At this very moment, I have no cigarettes. I smoked the last cigarette after a dinner of fried chicken, potato tots and collard greens. Sitting here now, writing, without a cigarette in my possession is not so bad. It's not so bad simply because when I finish posting I will go to the store and buy a loose cigarette.
Being realistic about this condition, will help rid the cigarette habit, I've had for so long…
About Me!
This weekend its me and my resume. I am working with the Career Planning center and the alumni to get my resume completed. I want my resume to standout, like the six million other New Yorker's who just might have the same plans I have this weekend. The planner read a resume that I whipped up in a few hours, giving me pointers on the good, the bad and it was ugly when I looked a second time. The format, absent, the style, dead. The content, no imagination, no good organization. This weekend it's me and my resume.
A few good workshops like, interview skills, basic job hunting skills and career fairs, packing this arsenal you can't go wrong. Employers will beat a path to your door.
Owing as much money as I do to Student Loans. I am going to need two jobs. Oh, you know those guys at the Department of Education, Loan center. I use to know the telephone number by heart. We stayed in touch, them and I. Actually, the student loan officers treat us with kindness and respect. They seem to understand our plight, but when you forget your place they will hurt you bad. Honesty is the best policy with the loaning center, if you cannot do $350 per month then don't say you can. You will be sorry…
This time when I sit down in front of my computer, my resume will standout. I just have to get my printer out of my closet. Hiding my printer seemed to work this time, now when I use my printer it works. You see, I have a cat who relish sitting her fat self on my printer breaking two. This one I keep hidden away. Richard promised to bring it out of my closet so I can use it to build my resume, print extra copies, print drafts to work by. Build an effective Cover Letter. I'll let you know how building my resume turned out.
Dinner is almost ready, fish, potato tots. Richard is cooking. I am writing. You're reading. My Shih Tzu is waiting for the fish, too.
Thanks for listening. Tell me what you think, about…
Talk with you tomorrow.
I am here.
Too exhausted to juggle a resume.
One has to have his/her mind cap on tight to create a resume. Introduced to a nice website for resume gave me hope, little incentive and even less "get up" and "go" power. I'll get there.
I just so damn angry that I have to create a resume. I had a job. I had a career. A few steps from law school and bam,
an idiot!
Should I say, a few idiots who believed I should help their cause, which is no cause at all. Their gone now. It took some doing, some hard work, dedication, reforming, a second degree. There was a degree of success.
There was no law school. Resignation from a job I loved, respected and needed. Sometime when I think back on the job I loved so much, I want to cry; it was a stepping stone. Yes, that job held many types of steps. I stepped to school, stepping to graduate or took no steps and I was still fine. I step to another job or not and I was still fine. Pushed in a place to lose my step, nearly,
mortally wounded me.
Today, I am ok, not fine, just ok. Someone is responsible for the mistake I had to make, resigning my job. Ok. I will hold you all responsible. Fortunately, valuable experience, abilities and skills garnered so I cannot complain. Providing I can use this valuable experience to land another job soon. The student loan servicing center wants their money. Any more bright ideas,
for saving a unsalable idea?

Best Churches
One of the important churches in Meganisi is the small church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos (St John the Baptist) located on a pebbled beach on the western side of the island. The church is probably built before 1477 AD. Historians say that pirates once devastated it and threw the holy icon of Saint John into the sea, but it was luckily caught by some fishermen. The church was rebuilt in 1800 with the interest of monk Ioannis Patrikis who belonged to a rich family.

Victory's Non-Victorious Vinyl
So I read on Between the Buried and Me's myspace blog that Victory had released Alaska on vinyl. I thought to myself, finally. So I quickly went over to the Victory site to see what they had to offer, like any other record collector does. So I saw that Victory had the classic album in White with a limited pressing of 200. I knew that if I didn't get a copy while I had the chance, I'd kick myself, so I placed an order. While at the Victory webstore I also realized that maybe I should pick up another copy of the latest Comeback Kid record that I do not have. So I looked again for the rarest and found the Black and Copper almost swirl like vinyl, which is also limited with only 212 copies. So all in all not a bad pick-up. I wish Victory as a label didn't suck, that would make me feel better about purchasing vinyl from them. On top of all that the packaging for the records just leaves so much to be desired. I mean like the covers are just pathetic and there's nothing special about any of the packaging. I guess I should expect it however.

Arrived safely and on time at Entebbe airport after long overnight flight. Feeling tired but full of excitement and expectation. Relieved to collect all TEN, yes ten bags and ventured off to find our driver. We were greeted by the tallest Ugandan displaying Stacys name-how special did we feel! What a journey from the airport, our first taste of Africa. We all spent the journey with a mouths open, taking in the sights. So many people everywhere and we got our first shouts of muzungo!
Met up with UK midwives Jean and Dianne for drinks and made plans. Kind invitation from Dianne for dinner which we quickly accepted. We jumped on the back of a boda and headed to Diannes apartment in the swamp. During the excitement of our first ride dodging the potholes, people and traffic we realised Sams boda had sped off, leaving two muzengos lost in Kampala. A few phone calls later and we are reunited!! Hilarious times, could only happen to us! had a great evening with Dianne-great food and company and lots to learn abot midwifery in Uganda...

I can't stress enough how fantastic this four-day culinary extravaganza is – whether you're a passionate cook or a complete novice, if you like eating and drinking (and who doesn't?!) then it's definitely worth a visit.
The seventh annual event – set to big the biggest and best yet – will see more than 80 traders occupy stalls in
Victoria Square, Oxford Street and Deansgate between
Friday, August 24 and Monday, August 27.
If you haven't been before, don't miss out on the chance to peruse the stalls and experience new tastes and flavours, or visit one of the many restaurants putting on special deals as part in the festivities.
Events and demonstrations being held across the town are bound to get visitors salivating and no doubt inspired to cook more and try new things.
For the first time, the festival will include a designated al fresco dining area, called Gourmet Kitchen, featuring a variety of traders selling high-end international street food such as Harvey Nichols' Gastronomique van selling French cuisine; Ginger's Comfort Emporium selling unique flavoured ice-cream (including olive oil!) and The Hungry Gecko – Asian street food by Masterchef 2011 finalist Jackie Kearney.
The main events will take place in the Rangemaster Cookery Theatre, featuring two star Michelin chef Michael Caines; Queen of cakes Mary Berry and artisan baker Paul Hollywood; French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and proud Yorkshire-man and Saturday Kitchen presenter James Martin.
I'm like a child waiting for Christmas knowing that I'm going to see the lovely Mary Berry on Saturday – so be sure to read a blog about that next week!
If you just fancy a wander around the speciality market, other tasty treats include cupcakes; speciality bread; homemade jams; handmade chocolates; rustic pies and traditional fudge.
Special events at venues and restaurants throughout Bolton include a Best of Lancashire dinner at JJ's Restaurant in Egerton; a special festival menu at Nick's at Chequerbent; Afternoon Tea at the Holiday Inn, Bolton town centre; Greek Meze and live music at Sokrates Greek Taverna in Horwich; and a family fun day at Pizza Express in Bolton.

Ever revealed your earnings to a coworker? Your answer will depend on your age
Have you ever revealed how much you earn to a coworker? Your answer to that question may depend on your age.
Comparing salaries has long been a social taboo in the United States, but members of the Millennial generation - people born in the 1980s and 1990s - are changing that, according to Kevin Hallock, director of Cornell University's Institute for Compensation Studies.

Microsoft has confirmed that it will acquire social network Yammer in a $1.2 billion cash transaction. The company said the deal, which is still pending approval from regulators, will add social networking features and support for the Office platform.
A billion-plus dollar deal between Microsoft and Yammer had been reported to be in the works earlier this month. Executives in Redmond have hailed the deal as an important addition to the company's collaboration and productivity offerings.
Yammer, which operates out of locations in San Francisco and London, develops social networking services focused on the business space. Microsoft said that when the transaction is completed, Yammer will be joining Microsoft's Office division.
The company plans to continue to offer the standalone Yammer social network as well as integrate the platform with Office, SharePoint and Skype.
"The acquisition of Yammer underscores our commitment to deliver technology that businesses need and people love," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "Yammer adds a best-in-class enterprise social networking service to Microsoft's growing portfolio of complementary cloud services."
Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, said while the deal will help Microsoft keep pace with competitors in adding and integrating social networking components, keeping Yammer in tact will be key.
"They needed a social (trendy) aspect to their business product sets which were starting to look old and uninteresting," Enderle said. "This will help with that image but if they want to improve their products they will likely have to assure they retain some of the key people from this and their record retaining folks like this isn't great."

DirectMoneyNow.com's Home Business Report

How long will you tolerate your continuing online
failure when the help you need is right HERE?
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
A while back I was in Las Vegas giving a speech at
a convention. I had an early plane to catch back to
Boston, so I had to leave the hotel at 6 a.m. As I
did so, I had to walk through the hotel's casino.
There, at 6 in the morning mind you, on a week-day
the place was packed, mostly with senior citizens.
I'll never forget what I saw. Tired, rumpled, zombie-
eyed folks pumping money into slot machines in a futile
attempt to 'get rich.' I felt sick to my stomach
witnessing such pathetic wastefulness.
These days, I see the same wastefulness occurring with
millions of people worldwide trying to profit online.
They seem to think the whole Internet is some giant
slot machine; that if they sit at their computers long
enough and throw enough money at it, they'll somehow
'get rich.'
I'm here to tell you nothing could be further from
the truth and to show you exactly how to make consistent
online profits. Here's what you've got to do...
You Fail Because You Don't Know How To Succeed
So, how much do you actually know about the Internet,
how it works, the tools you need, and what you need
to do every single day to succeed online?
Here's the truth: billions of dollars change hands
regularly on the 'net. The number of new 'net millionaires
continues to go up at an electrifying pace while
others make consistent good money. Collectively, these are
the folks who have studied the 'net and who know what they're
You're NOT in that category, because you have had
exactly NO professional training and instruction. Your
lack of such training has destroyed any chance of
online success. Dabbling is no substitute for systematic,
methodical online instruction.
What should you do? Get trained now! My recommendation is
to get what you need from Worldprofit.com. Since 1994 they've
trained tens of thousands of folks worldwide in how the 'net
works and how to make daily profit. Best of all, their
unsurpassed training is FREE. To get it, just register
at www.worldprofit.com
As soon as you've registered, log in and get started.
There's no time like the present to change those costly
bad habits of yours.
There Are Key Tools You Need To Succeed
Your training will, among other key information,
explain how the 'net works, the tools you need and
how to use them. These tools include:
1) Your own website address. www.yourdomainname.com
The ONLY people succeeding online have a domain, their
own website property. There are NO exceptions to this.
Merely having a self-replicating site/address won't do.
The domain is something you OWN. It allows for infinite
expansion, which means you can add as many products/
opportunities to it as you like. You can't do that with
a self-replicating website; in fact, you cannot make
any changes at all to such a site. That's certainly NOT
what you want!
2) The ability to edit your site. The longer you're on
the 'net the more changes you'll want to make to your
site. You need content management to make these changes
quickly and easily. Do you have it now? With content
management, you determine what you want on your site and
you add (or delete) it efficiently. Content management
enables you to keep your website up-to-date ALL the time.
3) A site that generates leads. One of the most important
things your site must do is to generate a steady stream
of prospect leads, people you'll eventually sell to.
The most profitable websites in the world are the ones
where generating prospect leads is the focus of the
site. How many ways do you have to generate leads on
your current site? How many leads do you get every single
4) A site that helps you track, organize and follow up
those leads. Why do people buy? First because you
have attractive products/services at competitive prices;
second because you provide well-organized follow-up.
Do you have the necessary tools you need? Generating
leads is obviously important, but having the ability to
track, organize and follow up with them is crucial. How
are you currently doing that every single day?
5) Individual tools for promoting your business,
building your business, and getting traffic to your
website. These tasks are crucial for your success.
When we review home-based entrepreneurs failing online,
it's no surprise to discover that they don't have
the necessary tools and, as such, are letting these
crucial tasks go undone. Every day you need to promote
your business, build your business, and increase
site traffic. Do you have an organized system for doing
that now?
Get Going NOW!
The longer you have been on the 'net without profit,
the faster you should grab this opportunity to master
it with professional, methodical instruction. If you read
this report and do nothing, you'll be like those sad,
lost folks in the casino, throwing good money after bad.
That's the sure way to failure and despair.
However if you're smart, your success online can start
today. Simply register for free and
log in. You'll get the training and tools you need for success
so you can start profiting consistently, every single day.

For now it's the end of the road for any avenues left to for the future of online gambling in South Africa. The decision of the country's Supreme Court of Appeal to dismiss the appeal by the Casino Enterprises (Pty) Ltd, Swaziland, which is trading as Piggs Peak means that the country's stringent laws on regulating gambling will remain in effect.
Piggs Peak Casino has lost their appeal in the Bloemfontein Supreme Court of Appeals causing them to no longer accept bets from South Africa gamblers, the online casino is reporting on its website. This comes after a long battle between Piggs Peak and South Africa's gambling authorities that saw the National Gambling Board (NGB) issuing press statements warning South Africans not to gamble online. Be warned: if you gamble online from South Africa you may face up to a R10 million fine and 10 years in prison
Managing director of Casino Enterprises, Howard Berchowitz, said that with this court ruling there are no avenues left for them to pursue. "You may not play on an internet casino from South Africa," Berchowitz said.
The National Gambling Board (NGB) optimistically says that this will now ensure that South Africans are protected from the vagrancies of illegal gambling activities offered to them. After 15 years of trying to regulate this industry, gaining maturity and experience along the way this means that gambling regulators will continue to work cooperatively with law enforcement agencies to curtail illegal online operators licensed offshore from trading and continuously breaking RSA laws.
"This outcome will strengthen the arm of the law as well as those of gambling regulators who are mandated by Government to protect members of the public from exposure to illegal gambling activities. Enforcement of national laws faces many challenges and there is a need for enhanced administrative cooperation between competent national authorities to curb this ill."
"We are resolute that all illegal gambling activities that take away opportunities for the country to generate revenue and subject punters to the risks of gambling without security will be shut down," the board stated.

Legislators are plotting against Perdue:
A week after Gov. Sonny Perdue slashed the state budget they approved, frustrated House and Senate leaders quietly got together at a St. Simons Island resort to consider taking a drastic and historic step: calling themselves back into a special session.
Once leaders of the Republican majority had gone over their options, they called in a few Democrats to test their interest.
"I think the sentiment in the House is strong — and I think it's strong in the Senate, too," said House Rules Chairman Earl Ehrhart (R-Powder Springs), who attended one meeting of top House and Senate leaders. "Their loyalty was rewarded with a knife in the back from the governor."
However, senators were angered both by Perdue's May 30 veto of 41 bills and his decision to strike language put into the state's $20.2 billion budget directing how money should be spent. By doing so, Perdue essentially told state agencies they can ignore the directions of lawmakers. Some legislators felt the move was an attempt to make the General Assembly powerless to decide how state money is spent.
"There are some larger issues that need to addressed about the balance of power and the constitutional right of the Legislature to participate as an equal partner in the process," Johnson said.
Ehrhart said calling a special session "is really the only avenue we have if we want to be relevant in the appropriations process as a Legislature."

How young people discover other cultures …
We believe passionately in the value of young people learning about new cultures and languages other than their own. This will break down the barriers of suspicion and alienation.
Snowflake's Meeting of Minds events use a variety of media to facilitate cross-cultural understanding between children (and adults too!) in a variety of organisations.
We have really enjoyed our experiences so far in putting on these successful voluntary events, which up till now we have financed ourselves. Now we are looking for £5000 to enable us to continue with this exciting and worthwhile endeavour for Year of Dog 2018.
We have an exciting programme of events for Chinese New Year agreed with 12 partner organisations, including the Ashmolean Museum Oxford, The Story Museum Oxford, The Oxfordshire Museum Woodstock and Southwark Libraries London, and many schools for 30+ workshops.
Will you help by supporting MoM?
The need for the people of the world to know and respect each other
Richard Cobden*, a British statesman and peace campaigner, once said "Peace will come to earth when people have more to do with each other and governments less."
There is a desperate need for the ordinary people of the world to know and respect each other.
It's really exciting to discover how many values and human sympathies are shared in common between our various world cultures. Children discover these naturally through our stories and events.
* Cobden campaigned against the "unrighteous" actions by the British which started the Second Opium War with China and was a passionate supporter of the anti-slavery cause in the American Civil war.
Our mission
Traditional stories and festivals are expressions of the soul of a people and represent deep shared human values.
We encourage young children from East and West to explore each other's cultures. We have no political or religious interests. We aim rather to go below these ideological barriers to discover the deep common wisdom and humanity of traditional culture everywhere.
Traditional Chinese society was famous for its concern to live an earthly life in harmony with others and the regulation of life according to the seasons and natural systems.
What we do
So far we have introduced over 1,000 young children to the colourful traditional stories and festivals of Old China which, despite cultural upheavals, have been preserved in the present day life of many eastern countries and places including Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and others.
We are particularly seeking to extend our work to schools in disadvantaged areas where schools and parents do not have funds for workshops and after school clubs.
It is so rewarding to see how the stories of Chinese characters and animals naturally evoke the sympathies of children in Britain.
We use a variety of methods: specially written and colourful books for children in Mandarin and English; interactive story readings; videos made by school-children in Taiwan; original games – including traditional Dragon Dancing, with gong and drums! -- special worksheets; simple spoken and written language practice; and board games, and face-painting of mythical animals. Children meet the mythical Jade Emperor and can even wear his splendid head-dress.
Children love to take something away with them too and we give them customary seasonal presents specially for the festivals, such as lucky Red Envelopes, herbal sachets to ward off illness, and the paper cut-outs of animal characters from the stories that we use in our games.
Children speak to children across the world. We make personalised videos in Taiwan and England where the children at each event directly ask and answer questions about their lives and language.
Why we are inviting you to support our events
The founder and director, Su Yen and the entire production team in the UK and Taiwan give their time freely and voluntarily, but we do have to pay our professional staff. Then there are travel expenses, insurance and subsistence – the more distant venues can take up most of the day.
Each event costs approximately £365. Costs include consumable materials, such as books, traditional gifts, board games (children do persuade us to let them take their favourite characters home!) craft sets for making Dancing Dragons and Chinese Lanterns, personalised work-sheets, and purchase of traditional items from China – like our popular dancing dragon, gong and drums!
For some school events we have produced videos linking children in Taiwanese and English schools in interactive question and answer sessions about their lives. These are hugely popular with the children. The videos and animated stories cost an extra £1000 per event, but we really hope to make more of these in the future.
Our experience
We have built up experience with successful events in schools, museums, scout groups and care homes. These activities have been very favourably received and reviewed. We provide single events for Chinese festivals, or a series of events for after school clubs. Many schools would like to provide this sort of extra-curricular diversity learning, but have very limited resources at present.
While we make no charge for our events some of the venue holders such as museums do benefit from entrance charges and increased visitor numbers, participation and sales. We are happy to support our museums in this way.
We provide our professional time freely on a voluntary basis and have started planning for our 2018 Chinese New Year workshops in libraries, museums and schools in London and Oxfordshire. This includes event and travel time and also considerable preparation time. So far, 50% of the running expenses have been covered by our friends, partner organisations and supporters in Taiwan and England, and by Snowflake Books. But we need to find other resources so that we can continue and extend our events.
An invitation to join in our Meeting of Minds
By pledging £1000 you would be sponsoring 3 invaluable after-school clubs or workshops at a school, library or museum in Oxforshire or London. These events have proved to be immensely educational, fun and inspiring experiences for young people, not only for getting to know a new culture and language, but also to foster curiosity, creativity and friendship - values that Snowflake Books aims to foster in as many people as possible! Do come along and join in one of our events and journey of cultural discovery! And in any case we'll send you one of our magical box-sets of 12 beautifully illustrated zodiac animal books, plus a personalised picture of your own animal year signed by the artist (see the sample picture above), and with an acknowledgment of your gift inscribed on the mount.
By pledging £300 you will receive an original 16in. x 8in. hand drawing of the 12 animal zodiacs in a handsome frame and signed by the artist (see the sample picture above), and with an acknowledgment of your gift inscribed on the mount.
By pledging £200 you will receive a whole box of 12 of our unique beautifully illustrated Chinese animal zodiac story books (hardcovers).
We will also send you a 12in. x 10in. mounted print of your choice of one colourful personalised animal portraits, signed by the artist, and with an acknowledgment of your gift inscribed on the mount.
By pledging £100 you will receive a whole set of 12 of our unique beautifully illustrated Chinese animal zodiac story books (paperbacks).
We will also send you a 12in. x 10in. limited edition mounted print of your choice of the 12 animal zodiacs, signed by the artist, and with an acknowledgment of your gift inscribed on the mount.
By pledging £50 you will receive a 12in. x 10in. personalised animal zodiac portrait with your character and Chinese name signed by one of the Snowflake books' artists, and with an acknowledgement of your gift on the margin.
By pledging £20 you will receive a 12in. x 10in. fine art print of an animal zodiac (see above) signed by one of the Snowflake books' artists, and with an acknowledgement of your gift on the margin.
By pledging £12 you will receive one beautifully illustrated hard cover story book about a Chinese Zodiac animal of your choice.
By pledging £8 you will receive one beautifully illustrated paperback story book about a Chinese Zodiac animal of your choice.
Participate in Meeting of Minds. We will be delighted if you can come to our public events and contribute your enthusiasm and ideas. All our dedicated supporters will have free entry for themselves and their children to our public events, subject to capacity.
Meet Our Great Team
I am Britta Bielenberg. Before becoming a journalist I studied business administration in Frankfurt, Paris and London as I have a lifelong passion to meet people of other languages and cultures. My work interviewing people of all walks of life took me from Berlin to Cologne, Beijing and back to London, where I worked as a radio correspondent for the German radio for 16 years, reporting especially on arts and cultural events. Working with Snowflake Books means that I can combine my experience in writing with my love of books. Snowflake's Meeting of Minds events are a wonderful way to bring young people together from across the world, using books and arts to inspire young children.
I am Christina Barker. I have a background in social media management as well as advanced knowledge of the events industry and marketing. I have a keen eye for detail and am a lover of organisation. So, I'm excited to promote our Meeting of Minds events and hope lots of nice people will enjoy the fun and help us to continue our international meeting of minds across the world.
I am Roy Preece. I have enjoyed meeting students from many countries over many years. Human communication is a wonderful thing and too often taken for granted, or neglected. I have helped many young people struggling to express themselves better in English and, while I love to learn about different cultures, the wonderful thing is how we can all share fundamental human values such as friendship and respect. So, I am delighted to help in Snowflakes' projects and see English children happily discovering a wider identity and reality.
I'm Stephanie Henwood and right now I'm away having a baby! I love taking part in Snowflake's fun events with children and hope to be back soon. My main role is to contact venues and arrange events, but I especially enjoy taking part in story-telling and it's the nicest job I've ever had.
I am Su Yen Hu. I discovered the value and joy of artistic expression at age of five with an inspiring teacher who encouraged me express myself through music and arts. The real magic started when I arrived in England for further study. I realized that England is famous for arts, design and architecture because English people are proud of their English culture and have the passion to preserve their culture and share with the world! To make best use of my knowledge I have learnt from England to apply all my experience to preserve my own Eastern culture that is not well appreciated even in the East. My friends and I chose to begin with the young generation with high quality art works to attract young children to access and enjoy the mysterious Eastern arts and culture.
I'm Taylor Brooker, and as well as being a freelance illustrator working on children's books and custom portraits, I also give my time to Snowflake and MoM to run the social media channels and create visual content to reflect the artistic nature of the books. At our events, I particularly enjoy face painting and drawing the children's animal zodiacs so that they can take a piece of art home with them. I personally didn't learn much about other cultures or languages when I was at school, so I now think it is really important to inspire young children to learn more about cultures other than their own, as it would help bring people together more, and visual events and stories are a great way to do this.
I am Lihui Wang. I am a working researcher in science but in my spare time I also offer assistance on pinyin (alphabetical system to pronounce Chinese characters), translation and audio story recording and reading in Mandarin for Snowflake and MoM. I've always had a great interest in the history of ideas – both Chinese and British, and in literature and philosophical ideas, and I like to read widely. Time with Snowflake has given me fantastic experiences with creativity and imagination through arts and books. At our creative events I really enjoy interactive story reading and cross cultural conversations with children and parents and singing Chinese versions of English children's nursery rhymes.
I am Snow Lin. I became the first girl from my village who received a university degree with support from my grandfather and tutors. To return their kindness, I became a tutor myself and devoted my whole life to teaching Chinese literature. I was retired when I met the Snowflake team and was touched by their dream to promote traditional Chinese culture world-wide. I have been writing the Chinese stories for Snowflake since 2011. My favourite titles are from the Chinese Animal Signs series. I enjoy working with the passionate illustrators who are full of unique ideas.
I am Jian Zhi Qiu. I am a country boy. I grew up in the Taiwanese countryside and spent my childhood in the woods. I love to use my own hands to make things. I like to make drawings of the countryside and I have very special feelings for forests, animals, rivers and streams. The first book I illustrated for Snowflake is The Chinese Farmers' Calendar about the farmers' traditions and seasonal work. I am delighted to see my paintings used to help English children share my culture. I particularly like drawing Chinese Dragons, which children love to see.
I am Jin Jie Ye. I live in Taiwan, but like to visit England to study its art. I love the Taiwanese countryside and its temples and traditions and I enjoy making paintings outdoors in the wild. I like to play with colours, which brings me joy. The delicate changes and differences of colours in nature can always make me think. I joined Snowflake in 2010 and illustrated one of Snowflake's first bestsellers: The New Year Beast. I am pleased that my paintings and illustrations are used to bring Easten culture to English children through Snowflake's wonderful Meeting of Minds events.

They are not paid phone actresses charging .99/minute.The best place to connect with these horny women is on phone dating chatlines!At only .99 per minute, Cum On Phone Fantasies is as cheap as it gets for a phone fantasy.
If you are seeking the girl next door experience, at least give Fun Sex Phone a try.
Phone Mates redefines the concept of traditional phone sex.
And although they are mainly meant for "dating", it is no secret that chatlines are mainly used for hooking up and having phone sex.
Some of the most popular chatlines include Livelinks, Red Hot Dateline, Chatline USA, and Questchat.
It is always good to also plan what you will both like to experience during phone sex before you start. You must therefore ensure that your other partner is comfortable and ready to let loose before you start.
If you feel that he/she is a little bit uncomfortable, introduce a sex topic that you are sure he/she will like.If you don't have the time to filter though all the women on the dating chatlines, for just .99 cents a minute, Cum On Live is a great alternative to free phone sex.If you are looking for a cheap phone sex number, call Fun Sex Phone (855-909-9435). You will like that PSOs on this site sound more innocent and real, and not trained and false like most other paid phone sex lines.You can find hundreds (of not thousands) of loose women looking to get down and dirty using their phones.Once you've registered, message as many women as you can to increase your reach.You can connect to all kinds of phone sex operators (PSOs) when by just dialing a single number. That means you get real women, not professionals handling the calls.Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

Picture upon picture of cheeseburgers, hot dogs and mac and cheese piled on metal trays.
Basically- it looked exactly like my kinda place.
We went to the venue just off Oxford Street on a Friday lunchtime and were led to a table straight away.
The restaurant itself is pretty dark inside, adding to the shabby chic, 'uber cool without trying too hard' vibe.
We got the show on the road with diet cokes and strawberry milkshakes.
After much deliberation (and as a nod to my inner piglet) we decided to order a smorgasbord of treats and share the lot.
We were soon presented with an array of carb-laden goodies.
There are no plates here- just a roll of kitchen towels on your table.
I'm so okay with this.
We didn't actually order coleslaw (I have issues with mayonnaise) but a mistake with our order meant that we got it anyway and weren't charged, which was pretty good.
The chilli dog: a hotdog smothered in meat chilli, onions, jalapeños and molten cheese- the really plasticky, yellow goo which is a genuine guilty pleasure of mine.
Huge, fluffy, puffy onion rings the size of my fist.
Normally I'm a pro-panko kinda gal when it comes to onion rings but these were so good.
Potentially even the best part of the meal.
Bacon cheeseburger.
This was also delicious but overshadowed by the rest of the meal (probably because I was pretty stuffed by the time I got to try this).
Not as good as Patty & Bun or Honest, but up there with Byron.
Somehow we managed to storm our way through all of that and were left with full bellies and greasy fingers.
At the end of our bill we were presented with this card and told that if we downloaded the 'let ya no' app, we would get 20% off our bill- not too shabby!
The service and food at Meat Liquor didn't disappoint.
I would really recommend it as a place to try if you're around Selfridges as it's sometimes hard to find good places on Oxford Street for lunch.
My only issue is that the music was a bit too loud- probably not the place for a first date if you're looking to get to know someone- but I get that it adds to the atmosphere.
Details here.

Dear IPUMs,
I'm constructing a ethnic fractionalization variable at the municipal level using the 2010 Brazil census data. I looked up the amount of unique municipal values using the geo2_brx in Stata and found it to be 1,524. I find this odd because I know that the number of municialities in Brazil in 2010 is around 5,560. Could anyone please tell me why is this is so?
Jeff Bloem
Part of the process of data harmonization is regionalizing geographical units with relatively small populations. This process is done primarily for maintaining confidentiality procedures and also privileging contiguity and similarity in population density. The Comparability tab on the geo2_brx variable states the following:
This variable does not account for boundary changes, but users should be aware that there might have been changes over time.
Where officially-defined municipalities have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring municipalities.

Ah okay. I understand now. Thanks a lot for the help.
Sep 12, 2016 - 09:56 PM
Hi Jeff. Thanks again for answering the question. I wanted to follow up and ask if there is way for me to access the unharmonized data? It would really help my research out. -Chingun

Monday's Mommy Minute
"Monday's Mommy Minute."
Each week we'll be featuring a Christian Mom and sharing a little bit about her faith and business.
So, I thought I would start it off with an amazing woman and friend: Shara Lawrence-Weiss.
Mommy Perks is an online community for moms to receive "Perks & Discounts, Reviews, Giveaways and More!" Mommy Perks offers some amazing PR packages to help you brand and get the word out about your business! Mommy Perks offers FREE listings for non profits and mom's groups, too!
Personal Child Stories are hand-crafted books using your own personal photos and information that can be created "for children of every learning stage, including children with special needs." Price ranges from $20-30 depending on number of photos and pages. After Shara's young son was diagnosed with Glaucoma and had to have his eye removed, he was having some trouble adjusting to the changes in his life. Read the rest of the story:
"My mother suggested that I create a personal book for our son, addressing each issue. I searched for a company that might be able to help me, but came up empty. I decided to create two books at home. One book addressed the issue of my son's new eye, the other focused on his need to keep his glasses on in order to protect his left eye. Each story page featured photos from our personal collection: photos of the prosthetic eye, of our son, of family members who love him. Photos of his glasses, of family and friends who also wear glasses, and of the objects and items that could potentially damage his left eye if his glasses were not worn. I had each book laminated and bound.
I read the books to my son daily. They impacted his behavior dramatically and we soon passed through that season of our lives…and into another. When our son entered preschool, I requested that his teacher read the prosthetic eye story to the class – in order to open up the lines of communication between my son and the other students.
The books have been an invaluable tool in our son's life. If you choose to order a Personal Child Story, it is our hope that it (or they) will also bless your child's life in countless ways."
Interview with Shara
Share a little about your faith:
"I was raised in a home of faith but did not fully embrace that faith, myself, until after my first son was born. My father was (is) a minister and missionary. He ran a homeless shelter for about 3 years during my youth. My three sisters and I had prayer, faith and generosity modeled for us from the time we were born. I spent quite a bit of time attempting to reject the faith that my parents modeled but in the end, God pierced my heart and left me reeling with His truths and promises. I haven't looked back since :-) "
How does your faith help you in business?
"Honestly, I could go on and on and on about this. However, I will touch on the one main key philosophy that has gotten me through countless difficult days:
I try to remember, at all times, that every person is hurting in some way or another. Every human heart has been broken and needs mending. Every person on this earth is fighting some sort of battle inside. From anger or depression to porn or shopping addictions. From self loathing or rage to past childhood burdens or gambling addictions. Christ's job is to mend those hearts - my job is to simply model His love. I can't fix people. I can't be responsible for healing them and I can't TAKE it personally when they don't behave the way I want them to. It's not about *me.* It's about their own journey through this broken world & all I can do, and all I am called to do, is to be a witness to them in love. To model for them what Christ has done for me. The rest...is up to God.
That viewpoint, in and of itself, has allowed me to carry on day after day. In business, in my community, in my home and in this world."
Please take a moment and check out Shara's links. She is an awesome Christian mommy and she would be happy to help you in any way she can!

Johannesburg - Deputy president and African National Congress (ANC) presidential hopeful Cyril Ramaphosa says he believes Khwezi's claim that she was raped by President Jacob Zuma.
Ramaphosa made the revelation during the 702Townhall discussion, hosted by Karima Brown, held on Thursday night in Johannesburg.
Questioned on whether he believed Khwezi's version of events, Ramaphosa said he had to factor in the outcome of the court ruling as well as Khwezi's testimony.
"I have to go with the outcome of the case and the outcome led to the acquittal of Zuma... at the same time I have to pay heed to what Khwezi said in court.
"Khwezi's story was that yes, she was raped... I have to pay heed to that and I have to be sympathetic.
At the same time, Ramaphosa stressed that he needed to deal with the issues relevant to the case and could not ignore what the judge said.
Pressed on the issue, the presidential hopeful then went on to say he sympathised with Khwezi because he could only imagine how painful it is to open up on being raped.
ALSO READ: #LindiweOnEusebius: Minister roasted over Khwezi comments
"She put her evidence before the court... when you deal with issues of gender-based violence, rape, the general tendancy is to dismiss... I know how difficult and painful it is for a woman to garner up the courage and say yes, I was raped.
"It must be one of the most difficult decisions she has had to make, so yes, I believe her," Ramaphosa said to applause.
The presidential hopeful also spoke on a range of issues, including his view on white monopoly capital as well as the Steinhoff scandal.
In September 2006, Zuma stood trial for the alleged rape of Khwezi but he was found not guilty and acquitted.
Khwezi died last October, after a long struggle with HIV/Aids.
Radio host Redi Tlhabi has since penned a book titled: Khwezi: The Remarkable Story of Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo, detailing Khwezi's life story.

DiabetesDiabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat.
Type 1 diabetes:-Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and kills the beta cells of the pancreas. No, or very little, insulin is released into the body.Type 2 diabetes:-Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body can't properly use the insulin that is released or does not make enough insulin.Gestational diabetes:-A third type of diabetes, gestational diabetes, is a temporary condition that occurs during pregnancy.
1. Hunger and fatigue
2. Peeing more often and being thirstier
3. Dry mouth and itchy skin
4. Blurred vision
Diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. This causes diabetes by leaving the body without enough insulin to function normally. This is called an autoimmune reaction because the body is attacking itself.
1.Physical activity
3.Weight management
5.Lifestyle management
1.Healthy fats from nuts, olive oil, fish oils, flax seeds.
2.Fruits and vegetables ideally fresh, the more whole fruit rather than juices.

The interpretation of dreams is a great art. - Paracelsus
Where would we be without both imagination and experience? As inventors, we dream of a better world and interpret our dreams as ideas that can make our world better. As innovators, we translate those ideas into products and services that make the lives of our customers and investors better. Experience guides us in both roles. An inventor learns how to test and refine an idea by building and experiencing a working prototype (model) of the idea. An innovator teaches initial customers and investors how to benefit from the idea by helping them experience the prototype. Members of the Indiana Inventors Association met to discuss how to create a memorable experience, for inventors and for those they serve.
With 3D printing (additive manufacturing), a copy machine instructed by a computer program (digital design) makes a variety of things (art, batteries, body parts, clothing, jewelry, machine parts, medical devices, toys, etc.) from a variety of materials (ceramic, chocolate, glass, human cells, metal, plastic, resin, rubber, wood, etc.) quickly by progressively depositing layers of material. Different kinds of 3D printing (e.g., selective laser sintering, fused depostion modeling, and stereolithograhpy) build the layers in different ways. If you think you might enjoy working with this technology, consider using an affordable (from $397) low-resolution printer (or build your own), free or commercial software, and free digital designs. Several online printing services (Quickparts, SolidConcepts, Tech, Inc, ) are also available.
eMachineShop is a convenient online machine shop that quickly prepares custom-designed parts by a variety of computer-controlled (CNC) methods (e.g., blanking, pressure die casting, extrusion, laser cutting, milling, compression and injection molding, honing, 3D printing, turning, welding, etc.) and provides free, easy-to-use CAD software for designing parts.
Several resources are available for building electronic features of inventions. Companies like Digi-Key and Mouser, and Radio Shack sell inexpensive parts (e.g., meter boxes, printed circuit boards). Texas Instruments sells a MSP430 microprocessor development kit for $4.30.
If you would like for a local company to build a prototype for you, consider contacting Wes Bickers (firstname.lastname@example.com; account executive for the Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Inc.), who acts as a liaison between state agencies and work centers providing products and services for sale.

Kaitlyn Davies and Sophie Malone left Winifred Holtby School in Hull, East Yorks, on Monday evening but never arrived home

Police say they are concerned for the safety of Kaitlyn Davies, 15, and Sophie Malone, 13, after they failed to return home on Monday evening.
The pair left Winifred Holtby School in Hull, East Yorks, at the end of the day but have not been seen since.
Police believe the girls could be together.
Kaitlyn is described as white, slim, with long fair hair in a bobble.
She was wearing a Winifred Holtby school uniform including a black blazer and black trousers and was carrying a cream bag.

She was wearing the same uniform but had a white fleecy jacket and a black handbag with white flowers on.
A police spokesman said: "We're concerned for the safety of 15-year-old Kaitlyn Davies and 13-year-old Sophie Malone from Hull who haven't been seen since yesterday."

Ok, first things first, I LOVE Motorola. I had the DROID RaZr, and I loved it more than my first poem (I had written in my college days).
Their hardware looks wayyyyy better than Samsung and is as durable as Sony, if not better. However, something went wrong along the way and I heard the company shut down, then started again, then shut down again and finally was bought by the Big Daddy Google.
The new logo helped surge new hopes. With Google in the scene now, people expected a lot from Motorola. And all those good things to come, debuted with the Moto X. Honestly, I will shy away from using the term "Flagship" cause I personally don't think it is one.
The Core
The phone is 4.7″, the same size as the Nexus 4. Comes with 4.2.2 and is running a semi-stock version of the Android OS. This, cause we were categorically told a Google Play Edition is in the works.
Visual changes apart, there is one thing that makes this phone truly unique. The "touch-less voice commands". Yes. With Moto X, Google introduces the "Ok Glass…" version for phones, dubbed "Ok Google Now…". This to me is a real game-changer. While Apple was busy giving the age-old iOS a make-over, Google was seriously putting effort (and money), behind innovation.
But, sadly, the Moto X ads don't talk much about this awesome feature. They talk more about customizability, about how it assembled in the US. The fact that there will be 504 variants available is a bit too much for me to digest. I don't know what they were trying to tell people, "One for each", "Make your own" or something like that. Over and above two faceplate variants (black and white), there are a few hundred backplate variants. And yes, there is a wooden plate too, at which I quite frankly cringed. This is the age of wearable gadgets, not Stone-Age!
But I will give it to Google for this one. It has worked for them (at least so far).
But what were my expectations?
A whopping 4 GB RAM, 5″ screen, a ultra-high res display with 1,920 by 1,080 pixels, or 440 pixels per inch , Octa-Core! It's called Moto X for god's sake!
Big Fish in a small pond or Small Fish in a big pond?
But here is where I contradict myself because I exactly know what Google is doing (or at least I assume I know). It is focusing of mid-tier market. It is very easy for Google to release a phone with the specs I just mentioned, but it is refraining itself. Why?
It's called Business and this is how it is done.
Google doesn't need another flagship. It already has the HTC One, the Galaxy S4, The Google Play Edition for both and of course, on the home turf, the Nexus 4. Moto X is different, because it doesn't need to join the ranks of these heavyweights. It is happy being in the mid-tier market, because it knows it can be the King.
Moto X isn't phenomenal…it is perfect. Perfect if you want a good Android device but dont't want to sell your car for it.
It will be available on various carriers, namely AT&T, T-Mobile Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular at the end of this August or at the beginning of September. The 16GB model is going to cost $199 and the 32GB variant, $249.
The best part is, Google might even sell it directly from the Play Store!
