Dragon leech ferns are a breed of carnivorous plants that inhabit Hidden Kingdom.
Dragon leech ferns are pale green. Their mouth-like traps are rectangular, with long, sharp teeth. They balance atop long narrow stems.
Dragon leech ferns attack prey. They use their jaws, but also strangle prey with their vine-like stems. Many such plants will often appear at once, making unclear if they are connected underground or individual plants.

God*s Sacrifice For You
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
The Spanish Civil War took place between 1936 and 1939. For 72 days the communists bombarded a fort in Toledo, Spain. They captured the son of the general in charge of the fort. They told him that if he did not surrender the fort they would kill his son. In order to prove they had captured his son they put him on the telephone.
The son said: *They tell me, Father, that unless you surrender the fort they will kill me.* There was prolonged silence on the father*s end of the line as he wrestled with himself. Should he sacrifice his country*s interests because of his deep love for his son? At last came the anguished words: *My son, commend your soul to God, Cri Viva la Espana (Long live Spain) and die like a patriot. Good-by, my son.* *Good-by Father.*
The general then went into the back part of the fort and knelt in prayer. As the tears streamed down between his fingers he heard the shot at the bottom of the hill that took his son*s life. For his country this patriotic general made the terrible sacrifice of giving up his son.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Dave Bautista is an actor who's done a great job at curating the roles he's taken on. Going into the business from his previous life as a professional wrestler, Bautista was careful about taking on jobs that exposed his weakness, all the while learning what he could from those around him. His humility and self-awareness has definitely gone a long way to make him one of the more likable talents in Hollywood, and as such, seeing his rise into more prominent roles has been a rewarding thing to see.
In addition to his role in Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049, this year will see him return as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Speaking with Collider, he reflected on the effect 2017 can have on his overall career.
"I'm curious to see how much will change this year, because my role in Guardians is so much bigger. But also because I think Blade Runner is going to be a huge film, and it will probably win a lot of awards.â€
No joke about the awards potential for Blade Runner 2049. While some can dismiss it as another typical science fiction film, Villeneuve has set himself on the road to accolades. From Prisoners to Sicario and Arrival, one can hope that Blade Runner 2049 will be the culmination of all his skills, and it's something that Bautista himself can benefit from. But before that film hits theaters, we can't forget about his part as Drax. For those who appreciated the character in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, get ready to experience a lot more.
"It's an extended version of the first film, for the Drax character. There's just a lot more … most people's first perception of Drax would be he's just a big, muscly brute, and he's just going to go in and be an all-action character. But he's more funny, driven … there's a lot more of that. He gets closer and more caring with the other Guardians, and they become more of a solid family in this one. If I had to put a tag on this second film I would say 'family,' that's kind of the theme.â€
The formation of family was definitely a theme the first film ran with, and as effective as it was, the development of that idea into a second film has the potential to take things to the a real tearjerking level. Let's hope that Drax's journey will add to that main theme.

Thought I would torment myself and do some online bag window shopping. I came across such gorgeous clutches and bags and have a serious case of envy at the moment! I'm desperate for a new bag but it's not really in the budget at the moment, so for now I'll just drool over these beauties!

make somewhat simple maps, and do google maps
Budget $30-250 USD
Make some Maps (same info is attached--easier to read as a Word doc I think.)
1) I'd like 6 maps made. They don't need to be very fancy. Just images. Something in between these two examples in the links below would be good (and maybe closer to the tauck example):
[url removed, login to view]
(clicking on it shows bigger picture).
Another example of a nice map (click on the map to the left)
[url removed, login to view] . I like the framed look of this map.
2) I'd also like Google Maps made for the same places. I think these maps might be called Google Community Walk maps, where you can add your own bubbles, though I'm not sure.
(It's a great tool, a good skill to know how to make these maps. I just don't have time to learn it).
Example of Google Map [url removed, login to view]
For the drawn maps:
Like in the tauk link example, make 2 images--the larger expanded one, and the small country or region (or continent one).
• Earth colors would be best. Make all maps the same colors. Matching colors to this website will be good, where they will go [url removed, login to view]
• Red color for the on-the-ground route. Green for the flight route.
• Please put a country flag and highest elevation on every map, like you see in the Tauk link above.
For Southern Africa:
MAP 1) Here is an example for you:
[url removed, login to view]
There are 4 stops (or bubbles): Cape Town, Maun in Botswana (you can Google 'Maun Botswana map' and find its location), Victoria Falls, and Johannesburg. Please name the countries. We don't need the Zimbabwe country outline but the Zambia one (Victoria Falls divides those countries; we are in Zambia).
The route is all flights, so it will be green.
2) Tanzania and Zanzibar
[url removed, login to view]
This map needs to include the islands of Zanzibar. Same on-the-ground route with same stops, but have the flight from Serengeti go to Stone Town on Zanzibar, and then Stone Town to Arusha.
3) Costa Rica
[url removed, login to view]
You can put in the same route you see in the link above.
4) Peru and Ecuador (this map shows Peru And Bolivia, but we need Ecuador, not Bolivia.)
[url removed, login to view]
The route goes: Lima to Quito, Ecuador is a flight, Quito to Coca is a flight, Coca to Montana (up the Nopa river) is red (on the ground route). The route goes up the Nopa River, so please put in the Nopa River, then Montana back to Quito (one the ground).
5) Arizona
[url removed, login to view]
The route goes: Sedona to Grand Canyon to Canyon de Chelly back to Sedona. All green.
6) Galapagos and (mainland) Ecuador
There is not a Tauk map example.
Here is the Google map: [url removed, login to view]
The route goes the same as above, but includes a flights to the Galapagos
Quito to Coca is a flight, Coca to Montana (up the Nopa river) is red (on the ground route). The route goes up the Nopa River, so please put in the Nopa River.
Quito to Galapagos are flights, both ways.
…And that's it

Are your landing page visitors not converting?
Is your Woocommerce store lack trust?
Are you trying to boost your Woocommerce store sales? or trying to make your site trustworthy and look busy?
These are common problems for e-commerce. And the answer is Social Proof.
Let's look at what it means and what you can do to quickly increase your conversions rate.
What is Social Proof?
If your visitors see that others are buying your product,
they will trust your site and they will be more likely to do the same.
That is just what it means.
Imagine yourself on a new website ( store ) looking for a specific product to buy. Would you trust it? Of course No! But if I show you that others are buying from it. Would you trust it now? The Answer is Yes.
What is Woomotiv?
Woomotiv is a social proof plugin that displays Woocommerce live sales notifications ( social proof notifications/popups) to your visitors. And this can boost your store conversions rate.
Can I fake notifications? ( Most Asked Question )
The short answer is yes, but we do not recommend that.
Woomotiv is not a fake social proof plugin, because it fetches your store's orders and displays them as popups to your visitors. So if you fake orders then Woomotiv will fetch them from the database and will display them.
Benefits You Get From Using Social Proof.
Conversions: Increase conversions rate by displaying Woocommerce social proof popups to your visitors.
Credibility: You will radiate credibility when visitors see that other people are buying from you.
Save Money: Your Visitors now are more likely to convert and this can save you advertising money by at least 20%.

Picture yourself at church or Bible study when suddenly two visitors enter the room. The first visitor is a wealthy man, as evidenced by his expensive jewelry and designer clothes. The second visitor is a homeless man, who lives alone, drools and dresses poorly. How would you respond to each visitor? Would you give the rich man the best seat in the house and make sure that he is comfortable? Your true motives will be revealed not in the way you treat the rich man but by the way you treat the less fortunate man when he walks in. Do you show him equal honor, or do you simply ignore him?
Like the Father, Jesus also extended the offer of salvation to men and women of every race, social class, and moral standing. As you have opportunities to minister to others today, don't be influenced by externals such as looks, clothing or economic level. Do as Jesus did: treat them with compassion, and speak the truth without compromise.
"For if there should come into you assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man "You stand here," or, "Sit here at my footstool," have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?" (James 2:2-4)
Lord, help me to see others as You see them, without prejudice and partiality. Allow me to reserve all judgments that are based on superficial qualities and look to ones heart. Lord, we don't know why people are where they are in life, but You do. Let us remember that no matter what or how much we have, what we dress like or who we are, You are impartial. May we treat everyone we meet as You have treated us.
Today, praise the Lord for His impartiality. Ask Him for special grace as you reach out to others.

On this day in 1996, Earl Weaver was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Best known as a fiery, World Series-winning manager of the Baltimore Orioles, he also led the Fox Cities Foxes to a league championship in the early 1960s.
The Fox Cities Foxes were a predecessor team to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, and were still part of the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League (commonly referred to as the Three-I League) when Weaver managed the Appleton-based team in 1960 and 1961. The Three-I League disbanded in January 1962, resulting in the Foxes and two other teams (Burlington and Cedar Rapids) moving to the Midwest League that year.
Weaver led the 1960 Foxes to an 82-56 record and the league championship. Fox Cities players included RHP Dean Chance, who won the American League Cy Young Award in 1964; first baseman Boog Powell, who was named the AL MVP in 1970; catcher Cal Ripken Sr., who would play for the Foxes again in 1962 and manage the Orioles (including sons Cal Ripken Jr. and Billy Ripken) in 1987; LHP Pat Gillick, who was general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays when the team won back-to-back World Series championships in 1992 and 1993; and Weaver himself, who batted .233 in 30 at-bats.
Weaver was a full-time manager when he returned to the Foxes in 1961. The '61 team didn't fare as well as the '60 squad, finishing 67-62. He spent six more seasons managing in the Orioles farm system before leading the big-league team for 17 years.
You can read more about Weaver and the 1960 Foxes in this article by Timber Rattlers broadcaster Chris Mehring.

For many parents, especially working moms, juggling extracurricular activities with doctor's appointments, parent-teacher meetings, and household chores—all while trying to maintain their career—is a daily reality.
Balancing time spent at the office and at home can be tough, and just about every working mother has experienced the "mommy guilt syndrome" when unable to spend enough quality time with the kids.
In the quest for a better work/life balance, moms are looking for more flexibility in the workplace. In fact, according to studies in both Canada and the U.S., working mothers say they would take a pay cut in return for a more flexible work schedule.
Being a working parent herself, Sarah Fowles of Connect Moms, an organization that links professional working mothers with progressive "family-friendly" employers, was already well aware of the importance of flexibility.
But a recent survey by Connect Moms, along with momcafe, and Briefcase Moms, showed overwhelmingly that flexibility is high on the minds of professional working mothers.
"When we actually did the survey and we got all this fantastic feedback from all these moms, that was the big thing that came out. What we're really advocating for is that moms don't necessarily want part time work—a lot of them need to work full time or want to work full time but they need that flexibility," says Fowles, who also works as an online strategist.
Ninety two percent of survey respondents said they would like a "flexible work environment" including the ability to leave early or arrive late to the office, work from home or in transit, negotiate a shorter or condensed workweek, and bank time to take extra days off as needed.
Fifty four percent indicated they would be willing to take a reduction in salary in exchange for flexibility and other support programs.
Connect Moms, momcafé, and Briefcase Moms work together to help educate and connect progressive employers with professional moms seeking more balance between work and home.
The three organizations represent more than 10,000 corporate, entrepreneurial (self-employed), and stay-at-home moms across the country.
Fowles says that while many companies are more receptive to the idea of flexibility today than they were even a few years ago and are offering "interesting alternatives," working mothers still have to advocate for change themselves.
"I have seen a big shift in that area, but I think that the big thing that a lot of moms have to realize is that you have to ask—you need to be just as proactive as a progressive employer is. You need to advocate for what you need to make it work as well."
Fifty seven percent of the 261 respondents to the online survey have a combined annual household income greater than $100,000. Forty six percent have an undergraduate degree and 25 percent have a masters degree. Fifty percent have two children.
Jill Earthy, co-founder of momcafe, says some companies are recognizing that "there is this talent out there" that is not being fully utilized and that they need to make some changes in order to attract those women and retain them.
She says the main purpose of the survey is to educate employers while at the same time letting women know that there are more options available.
A parent of two children aged two and four, Earthy is executive director of a non-profit organization that supports women entrepreneurs. She also runs momcafe as a private venture with a business partner.
"I wear two hats … but I have a lot of flexibility which is definitely the key," she says, adding that the group identified in the survey probably all work in some capacity between 40 and 60 hours a week.
Earthy says that after their maternity leave expires, many career moms choose entrepreneurship because "they truly feel" there's not an option for them to return to the corporate world.
In her job as marketing manager for a professional sports organization, Lisa Nevar-Landsmann was spending 17 consecutive days away in November, a week in February, a week in June, and numerous weekends and late nights at the office the rest of the year.
With a two-year-old-son she was finding it a bit much, she says, and in that male-dominated industry there wasn't any structure in place to allow flexibility for working mothers. So Nevar-Landsmann quit her job and began a business teaching yoga to moms and tots.
"I need to know that I can be home to pick up my son from programs or that I'm not going to be working very late hours so that I get home after he's already gone to bed. I can choose my schedule now," she says.
Although her income dropped significantly, Nevar-Landsmann says she doesn't regret the move because she's doing something she's passionate about. In the meantime, extravagances or large-scale projects or plans have become long-term goals.
"I wanted a strong relationship with my son at the time in his life when his parents are the most important people in his world," she says.
In a study in the U.S. by CareerBuilder.com, 38 percent of working moms said they would take a pay cut if it meant they could spend more time with their kids. One in three said they are dissatisfied with their work/life balance.
However, with companies facing a shrinking pool of qualified labor, CareerBuilder.com says many are offering everything from mother's rooms and flexible work schedules to job sharing and onsite daycare.
Big multinational companies have the infrastructure to do this, says Fowles, and there are many more of them in the U.S. than in Canada. On the other hand, American career moms do not have the extended maternity leave that's available in Canada.
Taking advantage of more flexible work arrangements does not negatively impact womens' progress in their careers, says Earthy. She points out that fathers and even those who don't have children can also benefit from more flexibility.
"There is so much going on in the world now, you want to have that flexibility … I couldn't do what I do without my husband having flexibility in his job as well."

Dr Anthony Seldon, principal of Wellington College, and David Lewin, headmaster of the City of London Boys' School – both of whom serve as advisers to the Government – were genuinely shocked by the conditions pupils at a comprehensive school had to endure. As a result, they joined forces to plead with ministers to rebuild the crumbling comprehensive school.
It is a unique example of co-operation between the state and private sector of schooling. Normally, co-operation means the independent schools open up their plush sports facilities to pupils from the neighbouring state school or share a teacher with them. In this case, though, the two private school headmasters concerned have rolled up their sleeves and got down to some serious campaigning to improve the facilities at a state school.

They say that you should never work with children or animals...
But photographer Mark Taylor defies that saying - with adorable results.
Following in the footsteps of his late mother Jane Burton, Mark produces enchanting images of animals playing with others or just amusing themselves.
From tiny kittens and dogs, to bouncing bunnies and guinea pigs, Mark captures unique shots which show the lighter side of nature.
That's a lot harder to achieve than the effortlessly charming finished product might suggest.
Mark commented: 'It ranges from quite easy - I would never describe it as very easy - to extremely difficult.'
'There are some occasions where I get nothing because the animal just doesn't like being in the studio.'
And apparently cats, rather than any bigger or more violent animals, make the most difficult subjects.
'Cats tend to be more difficult than dogs because they are more wary. A cat that is frightened can only look frightened.'
He insisted: 'It is important to understand this is not an easy job. It might seem like a nice cushy number, but it's a lot of hard work.'

An Ounce of Prevention
I had an awesome idea for a post today.

At the same time as they're getting tons … Continue reading
Mathematical Proof that Al Gore Lies
Climate Change alarmists bandy about graphs and charts and what-not in an attempt to confuse regular folks. They know that you are less likely to challenge them if they have something that looks like empirical proof that they are right. It doesn't really have to be proof, it just has to look like proof. The … Continue reading

I got an emailed question about a recent post where I mentioned that I would always oppose human cloning "because of the soul thing." The question was: "What the hell are you talking about? "Soul thing"?" Well, I'll explain. I shouldn't have to, but I will. Each human has one (and exactly one) soul. Let's … Continue reading

Many of the responses I get from these posts accuse me of being an apologist for Conservative hypocrisy. They base this on the fact that I don't condemn Conservatives when they condemn liberals for the same things that Conservatives have done in the past. Well, there's a very good explanation for this, and it isn't … Continue reading
Faking the Climate Change Numbers
Leftist scientists and environmental alarmists are pushing the extremist climate change agenda, but the American People are much too smart for them. You can't make the American People believe something that doesn't make sense on the face of it; it just won't work. And that's not just my opinion. Take a look at this Rasmussen … Continue reading
A reader wrote in response to my earlier Conservapedia vs. Wikipedia post, disputing that Wikipedia was biased, and saying that baraminology wasn't a (and I quote): "generally accepted or acceptable taxonomic classification system". Well, let me classify your response as wrong. Just look at the quote from Conservapedia, which they took from Jonathan Sarfati on … Continue reading
Hey, Al Gore!
Hey, Al Gore! When can I expect my formal apology for all of your alarmist global warming rhetoric? We've gotten more snow this year than in a long, long time.

Some days you just can't win. I've received several emails commenting on my earlier clarification of Occam's Razor, saying that Tautology isn't a science. Really? The suffix -ology means 'the study of', and is used in sciences like biology, psychology, physiology, and paleontology. I trust I've proven my point using the science of word origins … Continue reading

* The Committee of Scottish Higher Education Principals is seeking an initial Pounds 20 million in the first year from the Scottish executive to improve pay and conditions.
The committee estimates implementing Bett recommendations on pay and conditions will cost Pounds 160 million over three years. Staff recruitment and retention will account for about Pounds 60 million.
Universities and colleges aim to contribute from existing funds, but need extra for hiring and keeping high-calibre staff. Coshep is also bidding for another Pounds 20 million towards other Bett recommendations and Pounds 5 million to support wider access.

Note: OP/BP 4.11, Physical Cultural Resources, were revised on April 2013 to take into account the recommendations in "Investment Lending Reform: Modernizing and Consolidating Operational Policies and Procedures" (R2012-0204 [IDA/R2012-0248]), which were approved by the Executive Directors on October 25, 2012. As a result of these recommendations, OP/BP 10.00, Investment Project Financing, have been revised, among other things, to incorporate OP/BP 13.05, Supervision and OP/BP 13.55, Implementation Completion Report, (which have accordingly been retired). OP/BP 4.11 have consequently been updated to reflect these changes, as well as to reflect the updated title of the Bank's policy on access to information.
OP/BP 4.11 should be read in conjunction with OP/BP 4.01, Environmental Assessment.
Questions on this OP/BP may be addressed to the Safeguard Policies Helpdesk in OPCS (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Revised April 2013
1. This policy addresses physical cultural resources,1 which are defined as movable or immovable objects, sites, structures, groups of structures, and natural features and landscapes that have archaeological, paleontological, historical, architectural, religious, aesthetic, or other cultural significance. Physical cultural resources may be located in urban or rural settings, and may be above or below ground, or under water. Their cultural interest may be at the local, provincial or national level, or within the international community.
2. Physical cultural resources are important as sources of valuable scientific and historical information, as assets for economic and social development, and as integral parts of a people's cultural identity and practices.

"1959" includes the sounds of a harp, a piano, a flute, electronics, cassettes, telephones, wind, water, my family, my family home, my hometown and Henry Purcell. The work came into being in the second half of 2012 and was composed between my old apartment in Erfurt, my new apartment in Weimar, my family home in Elsaß und the SeaM studio in Weimar. The recordings used in the work were taken from the past six years and the first eight years of my life. I am thankful to Veronika Ehrensperger for the harp recordings as well as to Cy Twombly, Marcel Proust and Andrej Tarkowskij. The work is dedicated to the memory of my mother (born 1959)

A kidney transplant is the transfer of a healthy kidney from one person (the donor) into the body of a person who has little or no kidney activity (the recipient).
The kidneys
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the body, just beneath the ribcage. Their main role is to filter waste products from the blood before converting them to urine.
If the kidneys lose this ability then waste products can build up, which is potentially dangerous and can be life threatening.
Loss of kidney function is known as end stage chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, which is the most common reason for a kidney transplant.
It is possible to replicate the functions of the kidney using a blood filtering procedure known as dialysis. But dialysis can be both inconvenient and time-consuming so a kidney transplant, when possible, is the treatment of choice for end stage chronic kidney disease.
Read more about why a kidney transplant is performed.
Living donations
A person only needs one kidney to survive. Therefore, unlike other types of organ donation, such as heart and liver, a living person can donate a kidney. Ideally, this will be a close relative.
This type of donation is known as a living donation.
Receiving a donation from a close relative means there is less risk of the body rejecting the kidney.
Kidney donations are also possible from donors who have recently died. However, this type of kidney donation has a slightly lower chance of long-term success.
Read more about how a kidney transplant is performed.
Suitable donors
One of the biggest risks of receiving a donated kidney is that your immune system (your body's natural defence against infection) will mistake the donated kidney for a foreign object, such as a viral or bacterial infection.
If this happens, your immune system will attempt to destroy the kidney. This is known as rejection.
Potentially, rejection can be very serious and, in some cases, fatal. To minimise risks the kidney should ideally be donated by somebody who has:
the same tissue type as the recipient. Human tissue carries a special genetic 'marker' or code, known as a human leukocyte antigen (HLA); ideally, you should receive your transplant from someone with an identical, or very similar, HLA tissue type
the same blood group as the recipient. As with tissue, each red blood cell is marked with a specific antigen marker
For these reasons family members are usually the most suitable donors.
As members of the same family often share the same type of genes they are more likely to have matching HLA tissue types, and blood groups.
However, many kidney transplants have been successfully performed using a donation not taken from a family member.
In some cases there may be two living donors (who are strangers to each other) who do not have the same tissue type as their family member but would be suitable for donation to the other donor's family member and (vice versa.) In such a circumstance they can 'swap' donations. This is known as a paired donation.
A kidney transplant is a major surgical procedure with a wide range of potential risks.
In the short term, rejection, infection and blood clots are a risk. Long term risks are usually related to the medication needed to reduce the chance of rejection (immunosuppressants).
Because of this people who have had a kidney transplant require regular check-ups for the rest of their life.
Having a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to minimising these types of risks.
It's recommended that you:
quit smoking if you smoke
eat a healthy diet

Here's a simple but elegant fruit dish featuring fresh pears. At this time of year, you'll still have to use frozen raspberries, but later you might try it with fresh if you can. The pears are cored and poached — if you're wary about working with boiling water, we have an article on that coming up later this week — and the berries are pureed and strained to make a full-bodied sauce known as a coulis (pronounced coo-lee). From the Hamanassett Bed & Breakfast in Chester Heights, Pennsylvania, where you'll find everything from gourmet candlelight breakfasts to a dog-friendly room.
Poached Pears with Raspberry Coulis
2015-01-29 19:32:15
For pears
- 1 pear per person
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (lemon juice prevents pears from turning brown)
For Raspberry Coulis
- 1 pkg. (12 oz.) frozen raspberries, thawed
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Peel pears.
- With a melon baller, remove core from the bottom.
- Add sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon to water and bring enough water to cover pears to a gentle boil (a slotted spoon works best when adding pears.)
- Gently add pears to water and cook until pears are slightly soft.
- Allow to cool.
For coulis
- Place raspberries in a blender and process until you have a puree.
- Pour raspberries into a fine sieve placed over a bowl
- Using a rubber spatula, press the pureed raspberries through to remove seeds.
- Stir powdered sugar (you can add more or less sugar depending on your taste).
To serve
- Pool a little coulis on a small plate.
- Stand pear in center of plate. You may need to slice off part of the bottom so that pears stand upright.
- Spoon a little coulis over the top so it spills down the sides a little.
- Place a sprig of mint at top of pear and serve.

- For the crust combine biscuits and butter then press the dough into a rectangular cake tin and bake in a pre heated oven at 190 degrees C for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Place butter, sugar, condensed milk in a non stick saucepan. Cook with stirring over low heat for 5-6 minutes or until the caramel is light golden colour and thick.
- Remove from heat and pour the caramel over the crust in the tin. Set aside to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate in microwave and stir in the pistachios. Spread the melted chocolate over the caramel topping and allow to set completely in the refrigerator.
- Cut into desired shapes to serve.

Dinie, Pajel, Tiqah, you, EVERYONE,
didn't update their blog. -.- WHY?
I really want to know how their raya was.
Here, was mine.
The night of Eid eve, all types of firecrackers exploded in the air. As if it was independence! -.- Look at how much money they wasted on some colourfully loud fireworks.
1 Syawal
(eat a little first before praying. That's the sunnah!)
This year's raya theme colour is grey, initially wanted it to be silver; but how can clothes be all silver sparkly, right?
All of us, from grandpa to Qaseh wears grey. The girls, wears the same baju kurung design! Fyi, this is the first time we did something like this. :D
(makcik, mama, maksu playing around)
(Qaseh! here is the post about her)
Annual event, of course the younger ones ask for forgiveness from the older ones.
At Tanah Perkuburan Islam Paroi
(very beautiful ibu!)
That day, my grandpa's house was visited by people every hour.
Families, friends, strangers? :D
Not just they visit us, we visit them too.
(At Tok Lang's house)
2 Syawal
I was in Johore with my grandparents of my father's side.
Everyone was there.
The house was fullllllllllllll.
And because of that, I didn't take any picture.
3 Syawal
Also no picture
4 Syawal
Only Pak Ngah and Pak Teh's family were left.
Fyi, my Pak Ngah has 10 kids :D
(smallest, Sayuti)
(6 of them)
(this is all of them! :D)
Raya this year, I think, was great.
I hope to visit some of my friends soon..
If my mom lets me that is.

Welcome to Biomedical Engineering
With technology playing an increasingly large role in today's health industry, the world faces a demand for engineers who can understand, model, and design complex biomedical systems. We rely on these multi-disciplinary engineers to bridge the gap between medicine and technology, and develop innovative solutions for our health-related challenges.
In response to this unprecedented demand, Waterloo launched the Biomedical Engineering undergraduate program in September 2014. This unique co-op program offers the interdisciplinary background, problem-solving skills, and hands-on experience needed to collaborate with biologists, medical practitioners, policy makers, and engineers in different fields.
