Types of Solar Garden Lights
With Solar garden lights, your garden will stay lit all night without having to pay ridiculous amount on your power bill. There are all kinds of solar garden lights; copper, durable black plastic bodied, steel finishes and many more. Solar garden lights are very easy to install and you don't even have to maintain it. A garden with solar lights will radiate a dramatic effect.
Solar lights use LED white bulbs or colored bulbs. It doesn't even need power source and is completely maintenance free and will look great on your garden. While solar lights have improved year after year, you still have to sort out which one will suit your garden perfectly. Your gazebo will look great if you put solar lights to the pathway leading to it or at the sides of your yard. Some of the popular styles of solar garden lights are ground stake, hanging, solar deck (patio & step lights), spot light, low-cost solar garden light, and high-end solar landscape lights. Landscape lights will surely bring dramatic effect to your landscape. These solar garden lights charge at daytime and illuminates at night. My most favorite style of solar garden light is the solar rose that changes the color of the LED bulb. It is more expressive with vivid colors at night. These solar roses will surely be the center of attention in your garden. It has a glass-like appearance and then unleashes bright vivid colors when the night comes. These roses illuminate the night in several colors starting from clear then blue, red, green, purple, yellow, pink etc. You can scatter these roses in your yard and amaze people passing by at night.
Solar lilies are also lovely. These lilies have solar chargers that are mounted directly onto their stakes and soak up the solar power during daytime and provide an amazing glow at night. You can plant these solar lilies at different heights all over your garden without having to mess with wires and plugs. There's also a metal bird solar garden light that would look great on your garden. Just like any other bird decoration, it is complete with curling metal tail and acrylic blue beads.
Speckled solar garden globes are classy and sophisticated. Each comes with a solar charger that is mounted directly onto a wavy stake. It has auto light sensor that turns the unit on at dusk. This is ideal for entrance lawn and garden pathways.
The cutest of all solar garden lights I have seen is the kissing solar fairies! Kids will surely love it and make them dream about magical fairy paradise with fairy prince. It has a solar glass orb that illuminates the kissing fairies at night. It has warm ivory finish and durable weather-resistant resin.
If you are a fan of Gnomes, there's a hiking solar Gnome statue for you! It has an embedded solar panel that stores energy from the sun all day and auto light sensor that enables it to glow at dusk. These solar powered garden lights will truly add magic to your garden!

Alia College offers an engaging and diverse VCE curriculum. Class sizes are often small, allowing for dynamic class discussion and a tailored teaching approach. Our teachers go above and beyond to support each student in achieving the most out of their VCE years.
VCE – What is it?
VCE stands for "Victorian Certificate of Education". VCE is awarded by the State Government of Victoria. Only students who successfully complete Years 11 and 12 obtain their VCE. VCE results (called ATAR scores) are used by many tertiary institutions to select students for many of their courses. A student's ATAR score is calculated by school coursework, called SACs, and an external examination.
ATAR stands for Australian Tertiary Admission Rank. It is a number from 0-99.95 which indicates roughly the percentage of students based on the number in the Year 12 cohort Australia wide that you beat in the VCE assessments. It is used by many tertiary courses to select students. For many academic courses the ATAR score is all that matters. For many creative courses it is less important than the student's portfolio.
The VCE is widely recognised and accepted in the world. See this list of renowned universities worldwide.
VCE is not the final decider of a person's value. We are proud of the academic results, but we are equally proud of the students' personal development in a world that so values confidence and the ability to speak up.
VCE at Alia
We pride ourselves on helping students achieve the outcomes they desire. We encourage our students to do the things they choose to the best of their abilities. Almost all students seem to get better results than they or their parents had expected. For some students merely completing their VCE was something that their parents had not dared to hope for.
We have not restricted students from taking VCE at Alia on the basis that they were not sufficiently capable. We have even taken students who have been encouraged out of other schools due to low performance (or, as they can say, due to the school's inability to provide a suitable course.)
The Alia College VCE 2019 Handbook, which outlines how VCE at Alia College functions, and the options for students, including subjects on offer, can be found here.
The great majority of our students get into the course of their first choice and most at the least get into a tertiary course. Having said that, we encourage students to be their best selves, which may be about developing as a person rather than focusing on numbers at the end of their schooling life. As we know, there are many pathways into the adult working world and we support students who don't necessarily follow an entirely academic route. To have developed as a confident human being is just as valid and we encourage our students in their personal development.
After Alia
Graduates from Alia go on to do all kinds of things. We have alumni who have earned doctorates in science and medicine, others who have completed bachelors and masters degrees in various fields. Some go on to find success in the arts, winning awards for short films and photography. A few have had children, some are married, some have bought houses, some have travelled overseas. One student has pursued his archeological studies at a foreign university. Some have set up their own businesses as tradespeople, caterers, therapists, web designers. Alia students can be found contributing to many fields, following many careers. A number of alumni now work at Alia, either as teachers or administrators.
Alia maintains contact with our alumni through annual end-of-year alumni gatherings. We invite all previous students, whether they graduated from Alia or were only here for a few months, to come back to visit with their families and partners.

Together with the Directorate-General of Prevention and Health Promotion at the Algerian Ministry of Health, Prof. Zoubir Harrat, Director-General of the Institut Pasteur d'Algérie (IPA), is committed to effectively propagating hand hygiene in Algeria.
Hand disinfection advocated by WHO with alcohol based hand rub (ABHR) is crucial for infection prevention. Therefore, the Algerian Pasteur Institute plans to install a plant for the annual production of fifteen to thirty thousand liters of ABHR, to distribute ABHR solution acc. to the WHO recommended formula I at an affordable price. The first to be served with ABHR will be the personnel of the IPA (>1,000) followed by the leishmania patients and their doctors.
In May 2017, the kind help of the Swiss Embassy in Algiers motivated Roche Algeria SPA to contribute 55% of the ABHR plant construction costs. IPA and Roche SPA have signed an agreement to the terms of this donation.
Waisenmedizin, especially the Swiss branch, is extremely grateful for this gesture of Roche SPA which is in line with other humanitarian actions of this pharmaceutical company in Algeria.

Social media craze is present everywhere in our lives. Fashion brands are using every social media channel efficiently for marketing purposes however Gucci took this one step further and launched memes instead of campaign editorials.
The latest trend on internet is memes, relatable and funny posts that address millennials. Gucci hired "international meme creators" and created the collaborative project called #TFWGucci. The Instagram posts had direct reference to popular memes, which made Internet humour lovers "laugh-out-loud" while leaving some of their followers clueless.
For the ones that do not know the Internet slang "TFW" translates to "That feeling when". #TFWGucci, emphasis on the hashtag, was the campaign for brand's new luxury watch collection Les Marché Des Merveilles. Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele underlined the brand's "desire to engage with a wider creative community than that which traditionally locates around the world of fashion". The meme series created by Insta-famous profiles and graffiti artists included infamous memes such as Arthur and the starter pack. The posts got different feedbacks, while some followers found it "lit" (translates to cool/amazing in meme language) some said it was just like a joke and added that they found it cringe-worthy.
Did Gucci's attempt to interact with the younger generation work out? In a time where the young generation is struggling to pay loans and buy real estate can a world-known luxury brand sell an 870 dollar watch with memes? Many critics judged Gucci's marketing strategy pointing that it tries to target the wrong group. The fact that the brand had to explain what a "starter pack" means supports these critics, memes are supposed to be relatable and should speak for theirselves without extra effort.
It is certain that many fashion brands are trying to adapt to the new young Internet culture. In Milan Fashion Week 2017, Dolce & Gabbana dedicated a large part of their casting budget to make influential millennials walk on their runway. These influential millennials are fashion bloggers, Internet personalities and Insta-models that have millions of followers, this was an Insta-bait marketing tactic of the brand. Moreover, March 2017 cover of Vogue Italia featured photos from Steven Meisel's camera presented in an e-commerce homepage structure. The cover was Vogue Italia's new editor-in-chief Emanulele Farneti's first cover and was criticized brutally, many critics found the cover to look "cheap". Farneti's intentions were to adapt to this new era of fashion business, the time of the Internet.
Many worldwide known brands are trying to reach the new generation, people of the Internet, with new ways of campaigning. It wouldn't be wrong to say that they are trying to be relevant as much as possible. However it is a discussion that what kind of profile does this marketing strategy create for these well known luxury brands? When they are trying too hard to be hip they just end up looking like "cool moms" that are trying to get in their teenager daughter's lives…

Customer retention is a serious issue to be managed with due diligence. Here are some ways ,following which one can ensure not to lose a customer.
1. Changing Employees :
It's tempting to assume long-term customers love your brand. More often than not they love your employees.Customers don't buy from companies. They buy from people,your people. Since relationships are the lifeblood of a small business, don't rotate salespeople, customer service reps, or key contacts unless you have to. Do everything possible to protect and foster the relationships your employees forge.
2. Making problem resolution painful :
Policies and guidelines are great for ensuring that employees comply, but a customer with a problem doesn't care about your policies. He/she just wants his/her problem fixed. Let employees use complaint-resolution policies as guidelines rather than rules. Give employees the freedom to make judgment calls. Resolving a customer problem or complaint can help your business establish an even stronger customer relationship when you give employees the freedom to make that happen.
3. Influence With Social Proof:
How does social proof impact your client retention rates? It's actually very simple. If your client gets the feeling that your other clients aren't happy, they're more likely to become dissatisfied themselves. This can happen even if they've received good service up until that point. For this reason it's a good idea to promote all the positive feedback you receive on social media channels. You should also be vigilant for negative comments. If a client has complained about you, try to take the conversation offline as quickly as possible. Respond kindly (be understanding, but also try to make their experience sound like an anomaly). Then try to resolve the issue through private correspondence.
4. Establish a VIP Club Exclusivity: It is a powerful motivator:
Psychologically we're drawn to things that make us feel special, or part of an elite group. If clients feel they have achieved a certain 'rank' and reached an upper level of privilege, they're more likely to stay with your company. While it does depend on your industry, it's often possible to establish some kind of VIP Club to encourage returning customers. In eCommerce this is generally done by creating customer accounts and awarding loyalty points for each purchase, but there are plenty of ways for different businesses to replicate the exclusivity experience. For example, at a creative agency you might offer a discount to your recurring clients, and give them a prime spot in your marketing collateral. You could offer a 'referral rewards' club, and send them gift baskets or shout them to a restaurant when they introduce you to
This wonderful strategy can be used by pretty much anyone who interacts with clients or customers on a professional basis.
Hear : And listen. Let the customer tell their full story, without interruption.
Empathise : Create an emotional connection. Use phrases so they customer knows that you understand their feelings, e.g. "I completely get it, I would feel the same way."
Apologise : Sometimes a genuine apology is all that's needed. Never underestimate the power of this. Be sincere and take ownership of your mistakes.
Resolve : It's critical that you address problems quickly, and offer compensation if needed. Give your employees the authority to make corrective decisions.
Diagnose : Put blame or guilt aside, and get to the bottom of why the problem occurred. Do your best to fix the process so it doesn't happen again. Use this approach to turn any negative client experiences into happy ones- an absolutely essential skill for improving retention.
6. Share Things of Interest:
You know your clients, you've built relationships with them. Hopefully you understand a little about their personal lives, including their interests and tastes. Now you can leverage this information to form a stronger relationship with them. Your client sells handcrafted soaps but she's been struggling to build her social media audience. You see an awesome Marketo article with step-by-step suggestions. Why not add a link to that the next time you email her? Passing on pieces of information that aren't directly related to your services is a nice ,simple way of strengthening your relationship with your client. It shows that you care about them as a person,not just a business number. It also demonstrated selflessness.
7.Know your customer:
Anxiously wondering if your clients are happy with your services? There's a simple solution – just ask them. Real feedback from clients is one of the most valuable things you can attain. If you don't have channels or tools for gauging their opinions it's time to create some.
There are several ways to achieve this, without causing inconvenience to your client or resorting to cumbersome paper questionnaires. Instead, send out an anonymous email survey periodically, promote a feedback form on your website, or create a social media poll. Use the digital tools at your disposal to make the process as quick and effortless as possible.

My youngest boy has become not too fond of bath time. I think his least favorite part is the hair washing part. Even my oldest was not a fan of that. I have tried all of the contraptions to keep the water out of their eyes and they are too wiggly for it to be effective. I also learned something new about baby shampoo. I always thought that tear free meant it was safe for their eyes but this isn't true they are referring to the hair itself. Crazy huh? Once hair washing time is over though you would have thought they loved taking a bath-I am sure the bath toys help. It is hard getting them out of the tub. I think bath toys were made for this very reason. It is a distraction tactic so your child forgets the trauma of bath time whatever they are afraid of. Sounds great except kids have an excellent memory. Do you have any tips that make bath time more fun especially the hair washing part?

Oddball Ways Smokers Finally Quit
For every conventional strategy for kicking the habit — a gradual reduction, nicotine replacement therapy, medication, hypnosis; ask your doctor about these and other methods — there are a wealth of creative, unusual and downright bizarre alternatives.
If any of the options on this list sound too zany for you, remember: When your life is on the line, not to mention the lives of your friends and loved ones, whatever works is worth trying.
So if you're ready to quit and want to try something completely different to achieve your goal, one of the oddball methods on this list just might do the trick:
1. Bury your butts
Of all the ways to make smoking inconvenient — getting a family member to hide them or waiting to buy a new pack only when the last one is empty — one of the quirkiest involves burying them underground. Whether in planter pots, flower gardens or smelly compost heaps, the inconvenience of digging through dirt or rotting banana peels will turn you off soon enough.
2. Make it "interesting"
Do you have a buddy who also wants to quit? Put something on the line! A recent study revealed that smokers with $150 of their own money at stake were much more likely to kick the habit than those who didn't have to wager their own cash to get paid.
Some stakes, however, are worth more than money, with documented habit-kicking bets ranging from winners being called "your majesty" for a month to male losers having to wear gowns and makeup out on the town (not that there's anything wrong with that). Of course, everyone's a winner when it comes to quitting smoking…
3. Risk/reward
If you don't have a friend who wants to join you in quitting you can always reward yourself for success or punish yourself for failure. Amusing real-world examples of the former include a month of mother-in-law free time — a prize that was zealously supported by the lady herself — while peculiar punishments have ranged from missed Maple Leafs games (or is that a reward?) to sexual hiatuses of various descriptions that can't be listed here.
4. Get digital
Quit-smoking support groups abound in cyberspace, and for good reason: A study from the University of Georgia suggests that smokers who join online communities get the support they need to butt out forever.
Other digital resources include apps like Livestrong MyQuit Coach Lite and smokershelpline.ca, which offers a mobile service that provides round-the-clock encouragement and tips. Indeed, according to a review of recent research, supportive text messages can double your chances of quitting.
5. Face cravings with…disgust
Pavlovian approaches to cigarette aversion, such as snapping an elastic band against your wrist when cravings kick in, have proven effective. Fact is, there's really no limit to how unpleasant this method can get.
Extreme examples include: dropping a few butts in some water and sniffing, or even sipping, the disgusting mixture when cravings take hold. (Are you gagging yet?) Then there's the widely emulated case of the New York women who crewed on Milk Bones when cravings struck — and kicked a 20-year habit in the process.
Did you use any nifty tricks to quit smoking? Share your tips in the comments below, and share this list with buddies who want to kick the habit.

Press Release
July 26, 2017
Contact: Richard Loconte, 212-709-1691
DFS Encourages Insurers to Promote Environmentally Friendly Practices Among Their Customers To Help Combat Climate Change
Urges Insurers to Develop and File Programs and Rules Related to Energy Efficient Equipment and Devices for Insurance Premium Discounts
Requests Participation in DFS Climate Risk Disclosure Survey to Help Insurers Identify Short- and Long-Term Exposures to Climate Change
Building on New York State's commitment to take aggressive action on climate change, Financial Services Superintendent Maria T. Vullo is urging insurers to promote, adopt, manage, and maintain practices to protect the environment. In a circular letter issued today, the Department of Financial Services (DFS) is encouraging all life, property and casualty, and health insurers authorized to do business in New York to promote their customers' compliance with clean energy and environment-friendly practices, while managing their own corporate resources to combat the negative effects of global warming and climate change. In addition, insurers are urged to participate in an annual Climate Risk Disclosure Survey to identify the short-term and long-term exposures they face from the myriad ways climate change affects financial, underwriting, and operational strategies.
"Rising global temperatures and their effect on the world's climate have affected our nation in many ways and the insurance industry is well-positioned to help," said Financial Services Superintendent Vullo. "Unusual weather patterns, severe storms and flooding, and coastal beach erosion show that climate change is real and must be addressed to protect our planet and New York's economy. New York calls on the insurance industry to assist in this important effort to address the economic effects of climate change and influence potential solutions."
DFS urges insurers to promote customers' compliance with clean energy and environment-friendly practices. Policyholders that invest in energy efficient equipment and devices might simultaneously reduce potential loss exposure that can be reflected in lower insurance premiums. Insurers are encouraged to develop and file programs and rules in respect of such equipment and devices for insurance premium discounts.
DFS suggested the following examples of measures for which property and casualty insurers should consider offering incentives to automobile and home owners insurance policyholders:
- Purchase of hybrid and electric vehicles
- Vehicles with efficient engines/power trains that achieve superior fuel economy
- Use of telematics devices and participation in usage based insurance programs, in each case only where the device or program has been approved by the Department of Financial Services
- Verified reduction of vehicle usage by policyholders
- Upgraded HVAC systems or water heaters that earn superior Energy Star ratings
- Conversion from oil to natural gas or geothermal heating systems
- Installation of solar panels
- Installation of programmable thermostats or Smart home devices
DFS also encouraged all insurers to manage their own resources prudently, which can have a positive effect on the environment and on their bottom line. Examples include:
- Implementing rigorous recycling programs in offices and throughout operations
- Conserving energy in offices and physical plants, and deployment of energy efficient vehicles in vehicle fleets
- Identifying potential exposure to climate related risk in corporate and financial operations
- Reducing the use of paper in daily operations, and conversion to a paperless environment to save natural resources
- Using electronic file systems and digital storage to save space and energy.
- Managing risk as an integral part of underwriting activities by assisting and encouraging policyholders in developing and practicing prudent risk management in their personal and corporate conduct
New York State is at the forefront of addressing climate issues. Following the U.S. decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Change Accord, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed an executive order to commit New York to uphold the standards set forth in the Paris Accord and announced a U.S. Climate Alliance, along with California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., and Washington State Governor Jay R. Inslee, to convene U.S. states committed to upholding the Paris Climate Agreement and taking aggressive action on climate change. He also announced the Clean Climate Careers initiative, a multi-pronged strategy, in partnership with the ILR School"s Worker Institute at Cornell University and Climate Jobs NY, to grow New York"s emerging clean energy economy and prepare the workforce for the long-term careers associated with this industry.
A copy of the circular letter sent to insurers can be found here.

The word 'LASER' is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser device emits a powerful, highly-concentrated beam of light. (Didn't we all love the amazing laser weapons in 'Star Wars?') Lasers are used in hundreds of applications in almost every Virginia industry including communications, researching, manufacturing, entertainment and medicine.
Lasers are now used in some technologically-advanced Midlothian dental practices on both hard (tooth) and soft (gum) tissue. Lasers allow Richmond cosmetic dentists a degree of precision that was previously impossible.
How do lasers benefit our Bon Air dental patients?
- Fewer stitches (some surgical procedures require no sutures)
- Shorter healing time
- Decreased chance of infection
- Less damage to surrounding tissue/bone

I'm happy to be a member of #TeamNatural. However, as my hair gets longer, the curls are finer than I expected. I'm also having difficulty finding protective styles that are age-appropriate. As I crawl down the rabbit hole of Pinterest and YouTube tutorials, the styles (time, upkeep) are just as complicated as when I relaxed my hair.
When I see pixie cuts, my heart aches. If I cut two years of growth, my heart will ache. Knowing these feelings are temporary isn't comforting. Getting opinions of close friends are good, but rarely objective. The all-consuming humidity of New Orleans doesn't help me keep a great, straight style, even with a relaxer.
I welcome comments about what you do, have done or solutions to in-between hair lengths. Please!
A quick note: the long hair photos are my goal, not current length.

One of the new additions to Flames of War as part of the V4 releases have been the Command Cards. This deck of cards, specific to the forces, allows you to expand your force beyond those in the book as well as adding some of the more interesting aspects of each nation, such as the effects of Warriors or specialised equipment.
Fighting First is no exception here and along with the book release, the Fighting First Command Cards are out there now! 36 extra cards with which to expand your 'Muricans!
So, of course, to save some time, I'm not going to dig into all the cards but I am going to have a look at a select few that have grabbed my attention.
Andrew over at Battlefront has already taken a look at a few and you can read his article here: Andrew's Command Cards
You may have already seen my article on the force I'm planning to build for North Africa which is based around the awesome M3 Lee. This card just makes your Formation Commander that little bit better!
So, for 2 points you get to add 1 to the ROF of your Main Gun while staying still as well as an additional +1 to your squirrel gun as well! It does mean you give up some mobility if you're wanting to use it but I reckon if you can get yourself into a key firing position and then make use of this, it's worth it!
Now, I didn't play Flames of War in V1 but I'm told that being able to get control of your opponent's air power was quite a lot of fun!
While there is the potential of this happening here, it also grants you the opportunity to re-roll your planes showing up which could be pretty useful if it becomes a key strategic call on having them show up.
What's the worst that could happen.....
It Shall Be Done
This one is a little more pricey but it's likely a big change in survivability for your tanks. The unit can have a max of 3 tanks but you're going to improve both their Skill and the score need to hit by your opposition, taking it from an 80% change to hit down to a 50% chance.
So, adding this to a unit of 3 Lee's puts them to 21 points (24 if you give them the long 75mm) but they'll likely stick around longer as a result.
Commando Kelly
We have to take a look at one of the Warrior cards, surely! One of my favourites (mostly because of his exploits, which are now legendary) is Commando Kelly. You have to have a Rifle Platoon in your formation to add this one but if you do, you can pick a team in the unit EACH shooting step to re-roll ALL failed To Hit rolls! That's massive!
Add to that that the unit is super-Fearless as well and it could mean the difference between victory and defeat!
So there's some examples of what you can see in the Fighting First Command Cards deck! If you manage to get a few of these used in your MW games, let us know! We're keen to hear about them!

The New Heidegger
Bloomsbury Academic, Nov 1, 2005 - Philosophy - 210 pages
Martin Heidegger's work is pivotal in the history of modern European philosophy. The New Heidegger presents a comprehensive and stimulating overview of, and introduction to, the work of one of the most influential and controversial philosophers of our time.
Heidegger has had an extraordinary impact on contemporary philosophical and extra-philosophical life: on deconstruction, hermeneutics, ontology, technology and techno-science, art and architecture, politics, psychotherapy, and ecology.
The New Heidegger takes a thematic approach to Heidegger's work, covering not only the seminal Being and Time, but also Heidegger's lesser known works. Lively, clear and succinct, the book requires no prior knowledge of Heidegger and is an essential resource for anyone studying or teaching the work of this major modern philosopher.

obias Takmore, present leader of The Cult of Vartax, had challenged the many Galactic Forces and had eluded capture on many occasions. His name brought death and destruction wherever he went; cities, planets and even empires fell before The Cult of Vartax.
But Earth was where their terror and destruction would come to an end and Tobias Takmore's rein would be no more. Having faced a bloody battle across the globe The Cult of Vartax was finally brought to justice.
Even thou he had conquered the continents of this backward little planet, human spirit would be his down fall. Those that had supported the cult went into hiding while those that served him and followed him close would find their fate to be the same.
A fate decided by the World Council, but not without some opposition from within the council itself. Some wanted him and his followers executed, but the majority wanted him sent into cryogenics where his body and his followers would go on display to serve as a warning to any would-be invaders to the planet.
However, the World Council had proved to be weak when it came to their decision making, by allowing Tobias Takmore to have a final wish; a wish to address the people of Earth before his final incarceration.
Tobias Takmore swept into the room and turned towards the cameras that were waiting for him and grinned. He stood tall, dressed in black and showing no remorse whatsoever, his hands still electronically cuffed while waiting for his cue from the directors of the broadcast.
He looked around at the people before him and smiled as he caught himself on the screens that covered the walls around him. He cleared his throat and began to speak, 'Citizens of Earth. I am Tobias Takmore of the Cult of Vartax, but then you should already know that.' He declared. 'I am here to announce, that we are no longer in good favour with the World Council and that their unjust decision to sentence us to eternal sleep will only serve in bringing about a revolution, an uprising by the Cult of Vartax. My people, I say to you this that justice must be swift. Take action against these oppressors. They will have us shot if we do not enter cryogenics- '
Tobias was interrupted by a security guard who held his left arm tightly, 'That's enough of that. You've had your say, Takmore. It's the big freeze for you.' and began to guide Tobias away from the cameras, not before he bowed and left the stage. He was unceremoniously dragged to where the other senior members of the cult were being held.
Takmore smiled at his secretary. 'Do you think they bought it?' He grinned, straightening his tie with his cuffed hands and walking down the corridor towards his personal space ship, which had been ceased by the security forces to the World Council.
'Oh yes, sir. I think they bought it very much.' he replied and muttered to himself, 'If the cameras had been switched on.'
'Is there any news on the Torchwood situation?' Takmore asked as the door to his ship slid elegantly open.
'Nothing on Torchwood, sir, they seem to have forgotten about us.' again his secretary muttered aside, 'They were the reason for the cult's final downfall.'
Takmore laughed. 'Oh they won't forget about us for long, Soon the Cult of Vartax shall rise and take this world and crush it.'
The Secretary raised his head and slightly smiled with a question on his lips, dare he ask it he thought. This man's a fool. How did he ever become their leader, in fact where did he come from? They had followed him across the galaxies, promised other worlds, a better way of life, taking their wealth and raising armies against each other before finally moving on to their next venture.
'What was your home world like, sir?' His secretary pressed a key code into the next door.
'You know, I can't really remember much, except...' he paused as his memory struggled to remember from whence he came. 'I remember burnt orange skies and bright, silver-leafed trees that glistened in the wind...'

Fluvanna County Administrator Steve Nichols says just the opposite is true; progress is being made – it just can't see be seen yet "We are just in the preliminary phases of the process," Nichols said, referring to the county's plans to use grant money from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to purchase blighted properties in the flood zone and tear them down. The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) has worked with the county to obtain the grant and is assisting with the administration of it. Read more here.

Christmas decorations are beginning to adorn shopping centres, advent calendars and crackers are on the shelves, and - most importantly - it is time for Lebkuchen! I am going to bake some more this year, but for the time being we are able to munch on some from Aldi - my go-to shop when I feel nostalgic as, being German, there were many in Munich! And where else in Australia would I find genuine, German-made lebkuchen?!
The Jacarandas are out in all their purple glory, adding a wonderful splash of vivid colour amongst the fresh green of the spring leaves.
Whilst on the theme of colourful flowers, Sculpture by the Sea also featured some artwork by mother nature:
There have been so many flies recently, they are everywhere and make it very unpleasant when you go for a walk, you turn around and peer at your back and there are 6 hitching a ride. We don't remember them being so bad last year. This photo was a click and run, before they settled on me again!
On the flip side, they keep Ralph occupied, and distract him from opening the bin, which he learnt to do last week..

Hey Ladies!
I'm in love with the Maybelline Vivids Collections, I don't know about you but it's my favourite lipstick range to come from Drugstore brands :-)
I just hope they bring the whole collection to the UK at some point!
Here is Fuchsia Flash, a blue toned pink.
It's creamy, pigmented and long lasting just like all the others from the range I've tried.
The lipstick is just applied over bare lips, no lip balm or lip pencil.
I'm in love with this one, it's amazing for those Summer days when you don't want to take too much time doing your makeup but still want to look like you thought a lot about it. Just slap this on, a bit of liquid liner, mascara and you're ready to go!
Have you tried any of the Vivids Collection?
It's definitely a Summer Essential for me :-)

The VR6 was specifically designed for transverse installations in front-wheel drive By using the narrow angle of 15° the two 'rows' in the VR6 engine, it was possible to a six-cylinder engine within the Volkswagen Group four-cylinder-model bays. A wider V6 engine of Vee design would have lengthening existing vehicles to enough crumple zone the front of the vehicle and the engine, and the engine and the passenger cell. The VR6 is to use the firing order of a straight-six (aka inline-six) engine as a result, it is nearly as smooth as an
The narrow angle between allows the use of just one 'cylinder ', and one cylinder head whereas conventional Vee engines two cylinder banks and require two cylinder heads. As a result of just one cylinder head, it allows just two overhead to drive all of the valves.

The Echo Park neighborhood council met on Tuesday night to consider proposals to improve attendance and conduct in a meeting that was punctuated by heated exchanges between board members and yelling and screaming by members of the public. The meeting began 20 minutes late as a lack of a quorum prevented the council from taking up an agenda that – ironically – included a proposal to make it easier to conduct committee meetings with fewer members present. Once enough voting members showed up, the board of governors approved two new rules regulating speaking time and conduct, the passage of which triggered some tense remarks among the sharply divided board. "This board is a failure," said member Stephen Stickler.
Public comment ensued, with community members yelling out of turn and prompting a defensive stance from the board leadership.
The governing board of the Greater Echo Park Elysian Neighborhood Council also approved reducing the number of board members required at both the Budget & Finance Committee and the Public Safety, Outreach and Community Concerns committee in order to increase the likelihood of achieving the quorum necessary to conduct business.
Other issues taken up at the meeting:
Encouraging Developers to Give Back
In an effort to encourage developers to use and purchase resources within the community, council passed an item that creates the policy or condition where projects over $5 million dollars are required to hire locally and purchase goods and services from local businesses. To assist with this effort GEPENC will establish a neighborhood job bank to share with developers. Future developers in Echo Park will be able to turn to the neighborhood council when looking for labor and supplies. However, as an advisory group, the neighborhood council has no power to enforce any commitments made by developers.
Police Presence
Senior Lead Officer Lewis Ford from Rampart Division reported a reduction in crime south of Sunset Boulevard and attributed some of the improvement to the closure of Echo Park Lake He cautioned residents that displaced Echo Park Lake denizens may now be lurking in neighborhood alleys.
As part of a current campaign promoted by Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, Officer Ford alerted residents that they can "Just say no", if stopped by police. According to tenants of Constitutional Policing, citizens are not required to respond to police officer questioning. That is unless, police have probably cause or reasonable suspicion. Then you may as well just put your hands up.
Budget Items Approved
- $500 retroactive approval for support of Rampart Division's National Night Out on August 2, 2011.
- $350 for four pop-up tents to be used for GEPENC outreach events
- $500 to defray annual GEPENC printing costs
- $300 for participation in Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE) annual congress on September 24
- $500 to support Foreclosure Town Hall event on September 17
Dates to Note
- September 17 Free Northeast LA Home Rescue Fair Assembly Member Gilbert Cedillo's Forclosure Prevention Town Hall 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Goodwill Industries 342 N. San Fernando Road
- September 24, DONE sponsored Annual Congress of Neighborhood Councils
Opportunitites for Participation
- Help staff Assembly Member Gilbert Cedillo's Northeast Home Rescue Fair on Saturday, September 17. Morning and afternoon shifts available. Call Communications Director Conrado Terrazas for more information (323) 225-4545.
- Represent your neighborhood as a GEPENC Stakeholder. Vacancy open for District 2.
New member
The board approved the appointment of community member Kwazi Nkrumah as Stakeholder in GEPENC District 1.

Imran Khan vs The System: The Generation Gap of Pakistani Politics
At the end of August 2014 Pakistan stands much more polarized, confused and divided. And perhaps after the 2013 elections for the first time even families stand divided on which side to support. Usual trajectory of the action of support lie however around mostly the scale of age. If you are above 50, you are more likely to oppose what Imran Khan is doing then those below that psychological line. But why?
Before going ahead let's see what exactly their grievances are. In no particular order they revolve around: (a) Imran Khan and PTI has led in street/mob politics. (b) Imran Khan has no respect for the institutions of the country. (c) Imran Khan has introduced bad language in to the politics. (d) Imran Khan is full of ego. (e) Imran Khan cannot bring in any change and is only fooling the people because Continue reading
Why Indian & Pakistani men should live in a Joint Family System!
With the recent onslaught of articles against Joint Family system where a newly-wed woman is expected to live with her in-laws after the marriage on various blogs including most famously Express Tribune, I find it imperative to come to the defense of this age old and somewhat looked down upon practice in the name of Rationality.
Your mother would be quick to put the whole talk to end by telling you that this is all due to those cursed TV soap operas (she herself watches all the time) which has put this decay in our otherwise fine social fabric. But the fact of the matter remains that yes it is due to this excessive exposure to Indian dramas, where the modest fight extends around problem of 100000 Cror transaction between two otherwise pretty middle-class looking people and modern Sleeve-less-fair-skin-girls-in-dramas-shot-in-Lahore-and-Karachi based on weird suppositions, which has turned the whole mantra of society upside down.Continue reading

Finding a Job, but Moving a Family
The New York Times
Finding a Job, but Moving a Family
By SKIP WATKINS
I WAS laid off last August and was looking for work until February of this year, when I was offered a position at Emerson Process Management in Houston. I was living in Chaska, Minn., so I had a decision to make: Should I uproot my family and move, or keep looking? After talking it over with my wife, Mary, and my four children, I decided to relocate. The job match justified the move.
I'm vice president of technology in the gas chromatographs division, which makes instruments for analyzing chemical components of gases in harsh climates. I had been working at Xiotech, a data storage company in Eden Prairie, Minn., which acquired a company in 2007 and then ran into a rough patch. I knew that my position was in danger, so I had been looking intermittently for other jobs anyway.
I had never been laid off before. It was a bit of a shock, but I've been a director or a vice president for almost 15 years, and executives have large networks to draw on. I enjoyed networking. I got to meet a lot of people when I was out of work, and I heard a lot of different stories.
I'm used to being in control, however, and you can't control what happens during a job search. You have no idea what's going to work and what's not.
A big issue was having jobs disappear after I went on interviews. Once a person I used to manage arranged an interview for me with two executives at an industrial machine company. I went so far as to visit a client in Florida for them. Then they said they weren't hiring after all.
After that, I interviewed with a company that later chose to hire from within. I had lunch with an acting senior director there whose job I wanted. His official title was very different, so I had no way of knowing he wanted the permanent job until he mentioned it. That was a little awkward, but nothing came of it anyway.
I spent a day interviewing at another company for a position that would have involved managing only five people. At the end of the interview, I told human resources that we were not a match.
I was fortunate to have a supportive family and friends who helped me through the tougher times. I attended the Wooddale Church Job Transition Support Group in Minnesota and learned about a job-hunting process that helped. It kept me focused on doing something each day to look for a job.
I had worked for Emerson previously, in Austin, Tex., in 1992. I heard about the position there in early September and talked to a friend who recommended me to the president of my current division. In December, I interviewed with my current boss, who recommended that I talk to my family about relocating.
I have a daughter who graduated from college, as well as twins — a boy and a girl — who are still in college, and a 13-year-old son. When my wife and I talked to our daughters and older son, they were all for the new job. They noted that Galveston, a popular town for spring break, is not far from Houston.
The thought of moving was a little harder for our 13-year-old. The older children had lived in Austin when I worked there, but our youngest had lived only in Minnesota.
In January, I had a second interview, with several top executives. Emerson invited my wife on that trip, too. In February the company made an offer, including a guaranteed buyout option if we didn't find a buyer for our house. I accepted the offer and took a couple of weeks to get my house ready to put on the market. I also spent a lot of time with my family. My wife and youngest child were staying behind until the end of the school year.
I started work in mid-March. When I got to Houston, I stayed at a hotel for a few days, then moved into a furnished apartment. In three months, I almost burned up the cellphone calling home. The bill was so high that I cringed. The longest that Mary and I had ever been away from each other was two weeks. It was three weeks before I went home for a visit, which was tough.
In another sense, it worked well to be away from family at the beginning because the learning curve for this job is steep. I was able to pour myself into work and not feel as if I was cheating my family. I also scouted out the area before they arrived. I looked for houses and checked the driving times to work. I checked out a few stores and found an orthodontist for my younger son, who still wears braces. I also visited area churches. I told one greeter that I was an early scouting party. Every Saturday I'd give my wife a report.
MY wife and younger son joined me in June, and she and I sold our old house and closed on our new one. Our twins are working in their college town for the summer, and our oldest daughter still lives in Minnesota.
I feel fortunate to have found another job, but I've never considered myself a lucky person. I got to this point through hard work. It would have been easier to stay in Minnesota, but there's no question that the pros in moving outweighed the cons. I enjoy being back with this company; I see a lot of opportunity. Sometimes you have to leave a company to truly appreciate it.
As told to Patricia R. Olsen.

Healing Hearts and Soothing Souls
Curious about the Camp Erin process and experience? Check out this feature on Camp Erin of the Central Valley and our partner Community Hospice.
Death is one of the hardest aspects of life, and it can be especially difficult for children to deal with. Many of the feelings attached to the loss of a family member—isolation, anger, confusion, grief—tend to overwhelm even the most stable person, so when the one trying to process those emotions isn't mentally developed enough to analyze those feelings, they need support.
That's where Camp Erin comes in.
They take on the challenge of helping kids express themselves and handle their loss with peers who are going through the same thing.Read More

A large crowd of Indians gathered in front of the Indian embassy on Monday morning, to have their passports endorsed or to receive necessary travel documents, so as to avail of the general amnesty announced by Kuwait's Ministry of Interior.
The general amnesty for residency violations came into force on 29 January and extends to 22 February. The amnesty allows any expatriate stranded in the country on account of expired visas, or other residency-related problems, to either rectify their residency status and pay any accumulated fine, or exit the country without paying due fines.
The amnesty is not applicable to anyone who has a travel ban imposed on them from concerned legal authorities in Kuwait.

|Continued from My Last Wartime Voyage, Chapter Two
The voyage to Algiers via the Bay of Biscay was a bit rough. Although we had no escort, and the submarine bunkers of Brest were not too far away, we did not experience any enemy action. One of the portholes in our fo'c's'le "sprang" a couple of rivets, and water leaked into our quarters, even with the 'deadlight' screwed down. The Captain paid us a visit, and promised us that it would be fixed once we were in Algiers.
The Chief Officer turned out to be quite friendly whilst we were on watch. On several occasions, whilst I was on lookout on the wing of the bridge, or even, sometimes when I was on the wheel, he would spend time pointing out the various stars to me, and talking about his 'days in sail'. He actually taught me to identify several of the major constellations. Normally, the lookout was kept on the fo'c's'le head, but when
Algiers proved to be a real 'Blackmarketeer's Sanctuary'. Selling anything from food to clothes brought greatly inflated prices. Our sad story was that we had not known of this, and so had nothing to sell! Even the currency had its price!
I forget just what the official exchange rate was for the English Pound, (from memory, about 2,500 Algerian Francs) but several times the official rate could be had if one had English Pound notes to sell - or even more, if one had American Dollars! We often contemplated that with his considerable local knowledge, the Captain had brought English currency with him on the ship, taken it ashore, and changed it for local currency at the greatly inflated rates which were on offer. He had then come back aboard and given us our "subs" in local currency and "Invasion Money" - which was worth even less, also obtained by the same means, and thereby saving himself many hundreds of pounds. We all thought it, but were never absolutely sure.
It was exciting (and relatively safe!) to visit an area known as
Food on the ship was hardly 'cordon bleu', but it was edible, and always on time. The Cook was a young man from Liverpool who looked after our needs reasonably well. For whatever reasons, and best known to himself, the Captain decided that the cook should learn some 'Mediterranean' cooking. Seeing this as an affront to his culinary skills, the cook informed the Captain in no uncertain terms that he, (the Cook) would continue to cook as he had started, and should the Captain wish for 'Mediterranean' style foods, he would have to cook them himself.
After Algiers, the ship went to Bizerte, Sfax, back to Bizerte, and then to Cagliari in Sardinia. In Bizerte the cook was paid off. I think it was for medical reasons, but can't really remember the actual cause. However, he did go, and was replaced by a young Italian bloke who could hardly speak a word of English. I have no idea where the Captain got the young man from, but from then on, and because of the poor food, Captain/Crew relations went even further down hill. From Bizerte, we were sent to Sfax on the Eastern coast of Tunisia. The main export from Sfax is usually phosphates, a very messy and dusty cargo. Fortunately, our reason for going there was not for phosphates, but to pick up some large crates of radio equipment. The equipment, we learned, was to be taken to Cagliari in Sardinia.
We had the eight to twelve watch. It was Christmas Eve. We were expecting to dock in Sfax early on Christmas Day. When we were called at three thirty, ready for the four to eight watch, we noticed a strange silence. We thought the ship might have arrived early. In a way, it had. Actually, the ship had run aground a couple of miles short of the harbour. The bow was high and dry out of the water, and when we looked over the side, there were a couple of "locals" walking around in what little bit of water there was under the fore part of the ship!
The Captain was not a happy man. As soon as it was light enough, we had to top the derricks on number one hatch, open up the hatch, and lift the large boxes from the lower hold up to the 'tween deck. The other watch also had to participate since this was an emergency! After two or three hours, all the boxes were safely up in the 'tween decks, and I think it was the intention to be able to flood the holds if the refloatation process should have required it.
After much "full a-heading" and immediately "full a-sterning" of the engines, with commensurate swinging of the rudder from hard a port to hard a starboard, the ship refloated at about nine AM. There was no damage to the hull (no dry docking was needed) and we berthed in Sfax.
Our Christmas breakfast consisted of a kit full of boiled rice with several tins of sardines or some sort of fish mixed in with it! Hardly inspirational for "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All Men"! Normally, with food like this, we could "fill up" with bread and butter with cups of hot, sweet tea. Well, the hot, sweet tea was there, but the young Italian cook never did learn to bake bread. It was awful! In an effort to insult him, or possibly spur him on to greater things, we called it "Unleavened Bread" and "Chapatti's" but since he didn't understand what we were saying, it was like water off a duck's back. Another favourite dish (of the cook) was "spaghetti" This was a meal served for tea. It consisted of a kit full of spaghetti that had been dipped into a pot of boiling water for five minutes, placed in a kit, and had a nub of butter placed on the top! Then there were the "Artichokes". None of us had even heard of these as edible products before. Consequently, we were taken by surprise when the cook offered us a tray of what appeared to us as six green vegetables with bits of bread and tomato inserted between the "spikey" bits. We were informed that they were artichokes, and there was one per person for tea. I think we had heard the name somewhere, but we still regarded them as being more like tulips with bits of bread and tomatoes pushed in the spaces between the rather sharp pointed leaves. After Joe had had his fill, most of these dishes, went straight over the side, and we would be forced to "back up" with the cook's awful bread, and mugs of sweet tea - at least the sweet tea was palatable! Eventually, the cook's "Scouse" (which at one time had suffered the same fate as these dishes) began to taste almost edible in comparison to his locally inspired dishes. (To any of the non seafaring fraternity who might happen to read this, "Scouse" is a peculiarly Liverpool dish, and is really only a meat and vegetable stew.) After many complaints to the Captain - even the officers were complaining by this time - the Captain ordered fresh rations from the American forces when we got to Cagliari. At last, we had tins of lovely crinkly bacon, with eggs for breakfast! Overall, it is difficult to remember whether the food got better, or whether we just got used to the bad stuff!
In the meantime, Sfax had it's moments for us when the
We sailed for

done to the anchor windlass. Nothing very technical, but
Italian Prisoners of War
were brought aboard to do
the work. We, (the three Ordinary Seamen) struck up a
sort of friendship with them as we had to pass by them
every time we went into our quarters, they started by
asking us for cigarettes, and then food, which we were
quite happy to give them (especially the food!!!) We
became quite friendly with them. They gave us small
ornaments that they had fashioned from old toothbrush
handles. Eventually, one of them asked us if we could
stow them away on the ship. (We all knew we were going
to Cagliari.) We talked about this between ourselves,
and reasoned that since we were no longer at war with
Italy, it may not be a sort of Capital offence to hide
them. (It would, in fact, have been quite a serious
offence!) We told them that they could hide among the
big boxes, which we had now returned to the hold, and
we would get food for them. However, common sense
prevailed, and we later had second thoughts about
this, and informed them that the ship would be searched
before we left. They accepted this, which was probably
just as well. Even we three rather stupid and immature
Ordinary Seamen could see that it would not have been a
very clever thing to do!

How 'bout those who approve of Obama? I'd be more worried about them.
It's humor. Lighten up.
The article misses the point on why the 5% do approve of Congress. Most people disapprove of Congress because they can't agree on anything and pass any legislation. 5% approve of Congress because the can't agree on anything and pass any legislation. If they can't pass new legislation, it limits their ability to rob us blind.

Gustavo C. Roman, MD
Political decisions may cause disease.During 1992 and 1993, an epidemic of neuropathy in Cuba—largely overlooked by U.S. physicians—affected more than 50 000 persons and caused optic neuropathy, deafness, myelopathy, and sensory neuropathy. Patients with the neurologic disease responded to B group vitamins, and oral vitamin supplementation of the population curbed the epidemic. Dietary restrictions and excessive carbohydrate intake were the immediate cause of the epidemic; however, the primary cause might have been political. Political changes in eastern Europe had major repercussions on Cuba's economy and food supply. In turn, these changes compounded the effects of internal political decisions in the island, leading toward isolationism and economic dependence on the former Soviet Union. Also, for more than 30 years, the United States has maintained an economic embargo against Cuba. In 1992, the U.S. embargo was tightened by the Torricelli amendment (or the Cuba Democracy Act), which prohibited third-country subsidiaries of U.S. companies from trading with Cuba and prevented food and medicines from reaching the island; this amendment produced a virtual economic blockade. Penuries resulting from all these political events resulted in the largest epidemic of neurologic disease in this century. Physicians may need to use their influence to modify political decisions when these decisions result in adverse health consequences. The American Academy of Neurology has issued a plea to encourage physicians and other health personnel to support efforts leading to lifting of the U.S. embargo against Cuba for humanitarian reasons.
