AMRUT in KERALA
At present, there are nine AMRUT cities in Kerala. Initially seven cities including the Corporations of Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kochi, Thrissur and Kozhikode and two municipalities of Alapuzha and Palakkad were included under AMRUT. Further, the State put up continuous request for allotting more AMRUT cities considering the notification of new municipalities and the increase in the number of statutory towns to 93 from 59. As a result, the Centre included two more cities under the Scheme – the newly formed Kannur Corporation and the pilgrim city, Guruvayoor.
20% of the urban population is directly benefited from AMRUT

Broken World: Letters, Diaries and Memories of the Great War
|Sebastian Faulks
|Sebastian Faulks
Edited by the bestselling author of Birdsong and Dr Hope Wolf, this is an original and illuminating non-fiction anthology of writing on the First World War. A lieutenant writes of digging through bodies that have the consistency of Camembert cheese; a mother sends flower seeds to her son at the Front, hoping that one day someone may see them grow; a nurse tends a man back to health knowing he will be court-martialled and shot as soon as he is fit. In this extraordinarily powerful and diverse selection of diaries, letters and memories - many of which have never been published before - privates and officers, seamen and airmen, munitions workers and mothers, nurses and pacifists, prisoners-of-war and conscientious objectors appear alongside each other. The war involved people from so many different backgrounds and countries and included here are, among others, British, German, Russian and Indian voices. Alongside testament from the many ordinary people whose lives were transformed by the events of 1914-18, there are extracts from names that have become synonymous with the war, such as Siegfried Sassoon and T.E. Lawrence. What unites them is a desire to express something of the horror, the loss, the confusion and the desire to help - or to protest. A Broken World is an original collection of personal and defining moments that offer an unprecedented insight into the Great War as it was experienced and as it was remembered.
Edited by the bestselling author of Birdsong and Dr Hope Wolf, this is an original and illuminating non-fiction anthology of writing on the First World War.
"the pleasure of the book is in the straightforward human responses ... simplicity scores higher than writerly rhetoric" -- Libby Purves The Times "a marvellous collection" -- Arifa Akbar Independent "it is the pain, suffering and confusion that dominates this impressive work, the reality of warfare summed up by Private Frank Cocker, who wrote from the front in 1915 following the loss of his brother, "My heart is so stunned I don't know whether it is broken or not." Daily Express "It is very much the First World War anthology for our time." Evening Standard "Reflecting civic life as well as life in the trenches, the accessible style allows you to dip in and out as you please, exploring a world unknown to most." Big Issue
SEBASTIAN FAULKS's books include the number one bestseller A Week in December, Human Traces, On Green Dolphin Street, Charlotte Gray and Birdsong, which has sold more than three million copies.

The (Often Misplaced) Anger of the Process #amquerying #amwriting
I need to place a huge caveat on this post. Big. Massive. Perhaps an even corpulent caveat. I need you to understand that everything I am about to say comes from having gone through more than a decade in pursuit of publication. This isn't some quickly scrawled screed about how unfair agents or editors or [insert faceless publishing icon here.]
Up until recently my primary exposure to the publishing world has been predominately in the writing side. I make with the fancy words, crumple them up into little balls, and then send them by carrier pigeon off to Hogwarts Random House. Or something. But recently I was given a gift.
I know, writers are usually only given pens, journals, quills for some reason, or new books. And we love all of those, by the way, but this gift wasn't any of them. This gift came in the form of an agent allowing me to read some of their queries and then give my opinions. For their sake and the sake of the authors I have reviewed, I will not disclose the agent, agency, nor any particular details. But I can say that trying to see how authors look from the other side of the fence has been enlightening.
And, to some degree, the greatest piece of this puzzle has been understanding the industry from a business perspective, not a taste one. What do I mean? Authors often get very upset with agents and editors and even their own readers. Why? The reasons are as numerous as there are sub-genres of paranormal teen romance. But one of the bigger factors that comes into play is that writers are often putting their whole sense of self-worth and personhood into their work. The sum of who they are as people they associate with the time and effort and energy it took to produce their work. To them, the months and sometimes years of this process mean that it has become a part of who they are, a part of their life story, even if it's about rabid marmots defending the earth from alien shiitake mushrooms (not an actual story I reviewed).
So for the sake of metaphors (I love a good metaphor), imagine that the process is a cake. This cake has taken anywhere from three months to one year to make. There was the procuring of ingredients, the research of recipes, the measuring of all the ingredients to exact specifications, the timed mixing of all the ingredients, the preparing of pans, the agony of waiting as it bakes, the even longer agony of waiting for it to cool, and then finally the decoration which might take as long as all the prior steps combined. All of that work and then you go and ask 30-40 perfect strangers to come and taste it. You, hopefully, knew what these strangers wanted when you asked them, but maybe you could only guess.
Stranger 1: Walks forward. Looks down at the cake you made and says, "No." Nothing else. Just the word no.
Stranger 2: Takes a deep whiff of the room and then turns around and leaves without saying anything.
Stranger 3-17: Follows in Stranger 2's whiff then leaves without saying something.
Stranger 18: Takes a bite and then spits it out on the floor and walks out.
Stranger 19: Takes a bite, swallows, shrugs, and then walks out.
Stranger 20-30: Takes a bite, doesn't shrug, doesn't do anything, just leaves.
Stranger 31: Takes a bite, swallows, gives you a tentative look and then asks for a second bite. Stranger 31 then goes off to one corner, muttering to themselves and you can't hear what they say.
Stranger 32-38: All of them were right there, just a second ago, and now they are gone.
Stranger 39: Takes a bite, stares blankly at you, then says, "This is not the cake I like, but it's not bad cake." Before you can get too excited, they turn around and leave.
Stranger 40: Takes a bite, smiles at you, and then sort of winces and says, "I can't do anything with this cake, do you have any other cakes?"
Stranger 31: Is no longer in the corner muttering to themselves and came back to say it wasn't really their thing after that second bite.
For most writers this process is infuriating. You did all that work and now it has been judged so randomly that you want to pull your hair out (advantage goes to us bald guys). But instead of seeing it in that direction, spin it around and imagine that you're in the shoes of these Strangers. That you, in order to pay your mortgage and buy your kids food every month, represent 10,000 cake connoisseurs. Your livelihood depends on you tasting and then selling the cakes to restaurants all over the world. Someone you don't know then came and asked you to taste their cake.
The process they went through can't mean the same thing to you as it did to them. If it did, you would never ever sell a cake. If you were so personally invested in each cake you would just fail, all the time. Your mortgage would not be paid and your kids would be hungry.
But for the author, they can only see what the process has cost them. They can only view their work and the seemingly unlimited potential it has. So anger boils over at the Strangers, these agents and editors, because they don't feel the same way about your cake as you do.
I once heard a piece of advice from an agent on what to do if you have exhausted your querying. Specifically, should you go the self-publishing route if you can't get an agent? Their reply has haunted me: "Go write a better book first." Having read the queries these agents receive, I see at least a glimpse of it, now. I understand why the word subjective has been in so many of my rejection letters. I get it. Or, at least, I am beginning to get it. And I don't feel the same anger I used to.
So each and every day, in my writing, I make my motto, "Write a better book."

Particle tracking is of key importance for quantitative analysis of intracellular dynamic processes from time-lapse microscopy image data. Because manually detecting and following large numbers of individual particles is not feasible, automated computational methods have been developed for these tasks by many groups. Aiming to perform an objective comparison of methods, we gathered the community and organized an open competition in which participating teams applied their own methods independently to a commonly defined data set including diverse scenarios. Performance was assessed using commonly defined measures. Although no single method performed best across all scenarios, the results revealed clear differences between the various approaches, leading to notable practical conclusions for users and developers.

Visitation or Gathering of Family and Friends
A "visitation or gathering" in the traditional sense, is when the remains is present in a casket (which may be open or closed) usually before the service, or the night before, so that family members and friends may come and spend time together.
This time also relates to families who prefer a memorial service without their loved one present.
Such a gathering offers a chance for people to "pay their final respects" to the deceased. Just as important, this time can be a time for mourners to meet and console each other in a more informal setting than at the actual funeral or memorial service.
These assemblies may be scheduled for as little as half an hour on the day of the service, or even the evening before the service.
This time can be restricted to just close friends and family, or be open to the public. It is even common to have a combination of private and public hours if the remains will be present.
Is there a special ceremony?
As part of the visitation or gathering, you can arrange a formal ceremony, an informal ceremony, or none at all.
Preference and time frame, based on how the gathering will affect the scheduling of the actual funeral service, will play a key role
Regardless, this time sharing can be a rich and powerful experience. Not only will it impact the family because of your presence, but this special time of fellowship most likely will impact you.

Madshrimps awards the C70 Vengeance case the Novelty award.09-Oct-2012
Even for their brand new Vengeance series Corsair still utilises their classic brown box. Listing all the features on one side, while an exploded view is highlighted on the back side. I'm not a PR marketeer but isn't it possible that packaging can mean a world of difference if a case is bought or not ? What's inside the box is of course more important then the box design, but a more flashy approach alike eg. Cooler Master or Xigmatek could increase sales.
Once the case is unpacked the military theme becomes crystal clear. The matte olive drab case colour leaves really no options open. The other two colours to choose from, are arctic white alike the Carbide 500R and gunmetal black. Corsair means serious business with the gamer/LAN party orientated Vengeance series. A smoked windowed side panel version, with optional dual fan possibility, allows to show off your precious installed hardware.
The inside gets the same rigid military look treatment. A massive cut-out for the CPU cooler is foreseen, as numerous rubber protected holes for easy cable management. On the backside it becomes obvious that Corsair took some time to enhance the build in of hardware. A spacious cut-out in the top of the motherboard panel, to route the 8 pin CPU power cable. Note cable guidance and decent hiding space ( +/- 2CM clearance between the motherboard tray and the sidepane). Can we mention this case can be certified for builders from age 7 to 77 ?
The closer look starts off with the front panel. We can clearly distinguish the military roots of this C70 Vengeance case. The Power on button, a Reset button, two USB 3.0 ports, which are connected to the motherboard via an internal connector and the in and out audio jacks. Too bad no two extra USB 2.0 ports are integrated into the sleek design.

This week was my brother's, now ex, girlfriend's birthday! I have always loved shopping for the girlfriend, she is probably one of my favorite people to shop for b/c she is, well, my twin when it comes to taste! She loves bright paint colors, crazy and random finds at antique stores...she loves an open-air market, flea market, and garage sales as much as I do...in fact, we have plans to open our own store together....
then, she and my brother went and broke up!!!
This year's birthday was incredibly sad for me because of what it could mean. I, of course, had to plan out what I would get her (and, I got excited b/c that meant venturing to my favorite stores...and purchasing something that I knew she would love and appreciate as much as I do, lol)...but, then I started to get sad as I realized that this could perhaps be the last bday that I celebrate with her (via UPS)...she graduates soon, and who knows what will happen from there?? and what does this mean for our store?? just kidding!!
Anyhow, thinking of their breakup takes me back to our dating years...and then for some reason it makes me ponder marriage,(and by the way, I do not want them to get back together for the sake of our store, lol!!! NO, if it is not God's will, then He has something better in store for each of them and they need to continue to follow His leading as they are doing...but...I certainly wouldn't mind....)
I think, so often, what begins as daydreams of a future of adventures together...finding the perfect career, moving someplace fun, having kids, naming them, taking vacations, etc etc...then leads to planning for the wedding, saving for a ring that's comparable to the rings of those who have gone before you, saving for a future...you know, a nice little nest egg...b/c our example of marriage is that of our parents who have it all together (when we think of them as a married couple, we don't think of them as ever being the bright-eyed 20-something, with little money and not much of a career yet)...and then suddenly, we wedding planners start to panic, we aren't so bright-eyed and dreamy about our future anymore as we are scared. I really do think this is common, in fact I think being a guy must be really tough, b/c, it's in their nature to be providers, and to go from dreaming of a future to the reality of it has to be pretty scary. I have come to love the verse that I posted at the end of my last blog where the author asks simply for his daily bread...and, I'm beginning to think that maybe that's the key to it all. Marriage isn't about having it all together, it's not necessarily about having a huge nest egg saved up (but, that is a plus), enough money to buy an engagement ring, or even a ten-year plan (again, this is a plus lol)...I think it's more about finding this incredible person and deciding to take your journey together...whatever that journey may be. So often, we've created plans for ourselves, only to discover that God had something else in mind...and usually what He has in mind is a heck of alot better than anything we could've planned (it may not always be comfortable, but, the end result is more beautiful than if we had planned it ourselves)...like, the time we bought a house, only to be told a few months later that we were being transferred!!! OR the time that I said I was never going to get married...then I met the most adorable man ever and couldn't help but fall for him and marry him less than two years later!
I think marriage is more about taking your best friend's hand and saying, "Come on, I'll walk beside you in this life," every time I think of marriage, I picture this big mountain in the snowy range where I grew up, at any time of year it could have snow on it, it's big and beautiful....I picture Matt taking my hand and the two of us hiking up it...snow and all...I couldn't imagine being with anyone else, and I feel so blessed to hike through this life (and that snowy mtn) with my sweet husband.
We were sort of blessed by the fact that we didn't plan our marriage out for years, we didn't really get the chance to develop the typical fears that arise because by the time we started wedding planning, our little Clairie was on her way, we were both in intense college courses, and both without nest eggs....I guess we didn't really have time to think about the what-ifs since we were sort of being faced with some of them. We found ourselves in the most difficult part of our college careers, penniless, and starting a family...but, honestly, I don't think I would've had it any other way. We weren't really terrified at all...we had so much fun, and we were so excited as we planned for our little one to arrive.
I knew the day that I met Ringo, that I would marry him. We both knew right away. In fact, what most people don't know, is that shortly after meeting, Matt and I held our own little ceremony for just the two of us (after a friend convinced us not to elope, lol) committing ourselves to one another for eternity. It was nothing official, just our own "I am yours" sort of thing before God...but, that was nearly a decade ago...and here we are now....we've hiked through some rough terrain and I can't imagine having had anyone else beside me. I am so glad that God chose to give me Matt as my partner for life, and to give us two little people to hike alongside us as well! Anyhow, I guess what I am trying to say is, marriage isn't about things, or even planning for things...it's just a partnership, a blessing from God....it's not about having our needs met by our spouse (b/c only God can meet our needs) it's just about being given a cherished companion to join you along the way...and maybe a couple of other companions too.
take a peek at the trailer for away we go...I just love that movie, it's so cute.
ps that's ringo and me the year we met

These are usertags!
|Trick or Treat!
|This user likes helping others.
|This user is an admin of As the Bell Rings Wiki.
Usertags are small, colored boxes that are designed to appear on the user pages of users of Bulbapedia. They may be added like any other template is to a page, using double curly brackets (
{{}}) around the title of the template. For example,
{{User Admin}} will create the below:
Template:User Admin
Of course, this will cause the box to extend the full length of the page. Because this does not look very nice, it is preferred to put the userboxes in a sidebar. Below is the most common coding used to accomplish this:
<div class="userbox"> {{User Userbox 1}} {{User Userbox 2}} {{User Userbox 3}} {{User Userbox 4}} {{User Userbox 5}} {{User Userbox 6}} {{User Userbox 7}} </div>
Any number of usertags can be put between the start and the end. Other text can also be put in, as seen to the left side of this very page.
A basic usertag can be found at
{{User Template}}. If you want to make a new one that is separate, you should make it by following the basic pattern of the other usertags, and by naming them using this format:
Template:User a short name describing the template
Please refrain from making too many of these. If there are a bunch of usertags that you want to make, please use the

Since MoneyWeek magazine launched just over ten years ago, one topic has got us more worked up than any other.
I'm not talking about the never-ending British obsession with house prices, nor the general financial illiteracy of our politicians.
I'm talking about commission payments for financial advice.
If you're new to investing, you may not know what I'm talking about. So let me explain.
Once upon a time, there were two ways to pay for financial advice. Some independent financial advisers (IFAs) charged you upfront. They'd ask for a fee (either an hourly rate, or a percentage of your investment), and in return, they'd tell you where to put your money, and deal with all the admin involved.
But most IFAs were paid via commission. You'd come to them; they would ask you a load of questions about your attitude towards risk; and then they'd tell you where to put your money, and deal with the admin etc. They didn't ask you for money, and so it looked like you were getting advice for free.
Of course, those IFAs needed to earn a living too. So how did they manage it? Instead of being paid by you, the customer, the IFA would get paid by the company whose funds he recommended you invest in. In other words, he'd get paid a commission for selling certain financial products, such as funds.
Some funds paid more commission to IFAs than others; other categories of financial product – such as exchange-traded funds – paid none at all.
You can already see what the problem is here, can't you?
If an IFA is offered a 1.5% commission on one product, and 0% on another, which one is he going to recommend? If you were an IFA thinking of your monthly bills that needed paying, which would you choose?
Regardless of your answer, you have to acknowledge that there's a very clear potential conflict of interest there.
And just to be crystal clear, this commission payment would come out of the money that you had invested. So you were still paying for this financial advice, you just weren't paying for it in an upfront, transparent manner.
A long overdue change
So one thing MoneyWeek has gone on about for years and years and years, is how potentially corrupting this system was. We even put together a list of 'fee-only' financial advisers to encourage those readers who wanted advice to pay for it, to avoid this potential commission bias.
The good news is, this is no longer necessary. Because from next year, the Financial Services Authority is banning commission. The changes are all part of something called the Retail Distribution Review (RDR).
Tedious acronyms are a speciality of the financial industry. It just seems to go with the territory. But 'RDR' is worth paying attention to.
In essence, the changes are simple: financial advisers won't be allowed to take commission payments, so they'll all have to charge upfront for advice. That'll make it clear how much you are paying for advice, and what you're getting for it.
Secondly, financial advisors will also have to be better qualified than they once were. That means that you should – hopefully – be able to expect a minimum standard of service and knowledge from your adviser.
You might think that this is how things should always have been. And you'd be right. But let's just be grateful the change is happening now.
Why RDR is good news for DIY investors
You might also be thinking: why should I care about any of this? I'm taking charge of my own money.
However, RDR is good news for go-it-alone investors too. Why? Because now the whole fund management industry will be under pressure to cut its fees.
Under the old business model, most people in Britain bought funds through financial advisers. So if fund management groups wanted to attract more business, the most obvious thing to do was to pay higher commissions.
In effect, much of the financial advisory business was operating as a freelance sales force for the fund management companies. This is one reason why fees for fund management had remained so stubbornly high in Britain, despite apparently rampant competition in the market.
Now that is changing. Financial advisers will now be getting their money direct from their customers, rather than via the fund management groups. That makes it very clear where their interests lie: in keeping the customer happy.
It's a lot easier to bill someone a few hundred pounds for your advice every quarter if you can point to their portfolio and demonstrate that you more than made that money back for them during the period.
Financial advisers aren't daft. Like the rest of us, they know that you can't predict the future. But you can keep your costs down. So if you're hoping to make a decent return on your money over the long run, that's where you should start.
So the smart advisers – the ones who will survive under the new regime – will be looking for all the same things that smart DIY investors will be looking for.
They'll want to see low costs; they'll favour cheap passive investments over expensive active ones; if they do take the risk of paying up for active management, they'll want evidence that the manager is actually adding some value.
And if fund management companies want to stay in business, they'll have to provide these things.
Three questions to ask before you buy any financial product
Don't think this means you can let your guard down.
The financial industry is like any other business – it wants to sell you stuff; as much stuff as possible. You, on the other hand, just want to save and invest enough money to provide for a decent retirement, and to meet your other goals.
These two aims occasionally overlap – you'd think that the best way to retain a customer's business would be to help them grow their money in a sustainable manner – but a lot of the time, they don't.
(This is not always the financial industry's fault – check out this story from US fund manager Jeremy Grantham to see how fickle investors often shoot themselves in the foot).
There's no point in getting worked up about this. RDR will help a lot, but it will never be easy to make the incentives of the financial industry line up with the incentives of customers.
If you buy a TV and it stops working, you can take it back to the shop. If you buy a financial product, the trouble is that you usually won't know if it's 'working' or not until years down the line.
So always remember. Before you invest in anything, or buy any financial service, ask yourself:
• Does this product do what I want it to?
• Is it the cheapest way of getting what I want?
• If I am paying for something over and above the basic service, is it worth it?
These are the questions that good IFAs will be asking on the behalf of their customers. You should ask yourself the same ones.

does someone know how to send data from pc to sagem via bluetooth?
to michelle: you can get this phone from pixmania for £278 or try and find it off ebay - new, but id go with pixmania, type it in a search engine
i think this fone is the best 1 yet.. its really nice.. i jus wanted 2 no were i can get it from and how much.. by the way i live in the uk, so if any 1 nos in the uk then that wud b really helpful.. thnx
Has anyone noticed problems with sound quality when recording a video or recording sound only? There are really annoying noises and murmur heard when you record really soft sounds or when there is no sound in the surroundings. Sounds like some noise in a spy movie when they tap someone's phone line . It's disappoining when you have such a high tech device and discover sound recording is really below expectations.
I am also frustrated because dust starts accumulatin under the glass screen. Really annoying cos the picture quality is so superb.
Otherwise it's the best thing right now on the market for its price, I think.
is this a phone or a remote control ???
now, seriously .. the features are great, but what happened to the design ?? did the team have a nightmare the night before they had the ideea of myx-8 ???
in 2 words - nerd (ugly and smart) :)
I have this version of the phone:
251753855 - does anybody know can I upgrade this version with aviable upgrades on planetsagem?
I bought this phone 2 weeks ago and here are my impresions:
displey - no comment, it is pleasure to watch in it, on sunlight no problems with visibility
camera - so clear and lively colours, with flash you can capture in the darkest dark, there are few resolution for capture: 320*240(screen resolution), 640*480, 800*600, 1280*960
one problem here: you mustn't move phone when you are capturing, because picture blur, but you are going to be used on it after while
video recording is prety good, it can record until is out of memory, record sounds(but it can be turned off) and the movie size is about 1min - 1Mb aproximately
sound quality is the best, mp3 is very loud on main speaker, on headphones it sounds like you are listening music on discman or mp3 player - just wonderful
I don't have Mini SD card so I can't tell how it works but soon I will buy one so I will add comment on that
I had before my-X6, and battery life disapointed me on X8, with some use of camera, flash, video, mp3 and IR it can work hardly for two days
but wheny you think better with that huge screen and all that it must supply, it is not so bad
from connectivity I used IR, it works fine - no problems, but don't think about that you can fill MiniSD with mp3 over IR, I transfer some songs over IR into phone memory and
one file (about 3.5 MB) was transfering for 10 min :( , and IR is big consumer of battery
keyboard is very good I think (in compare with X6), it is ease to type sms, but if you have bigger fingers maybe it will be harder, joystick is good
Java isn't very commpatibile, I tried to download some applets but it refused to install, but it supports java 2.0 whatever that means
one realy annoying thing: you can adjust how many seconds to last screen light (from 5 to 25 sec), but you can't adjust after how many sec. screen will be off( it turns of after 20 - 25 sec)
for example you are doing something and for moment look at TV , after that you want to continue but see that phone is turned of ( on X6 you can choose after how many sec it will be off)
you can't turn off the light on screen just on keyboard (also don't like that when I need to save battery)
for the end one interesting thing: I noticed some dust after couple day under glass on the screen, and now it is over whole screen, now I must open it, clean screen and tryed to prevent it from incoming again
generaly I am very happy with phone, and this defect are minor in compare to adventages , so I hope I cleared you some things about this phone which is great
can u please tell me price of this phone?also tell me how and where to get it.
I would like to know whether the x8 and X5 use the same battery? I mean the battery of X5-2 can be used for X8 too, waiting for earliest reply. thanks in advance
Can you please give me the price of this phone. How it can be shipped to me.
To check your software version:
goto menu and hold down *
goto application
goto version
the latest verion should be PH
Got the local Sagem center to update my firmware. Took care of a lot of snags. Now I can copy to mini SD as well as play mpeg movies. Phone will still reset the clock if you change the battery though.
Still have some problems with the sound quality when making calls. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe it is something wrong with the hardware?
Hi Ken.. where you buy the phone from in Singapore? I also like to get this phone, and also got any warranty?
the simens SX1 can be updated without the cabel.. you just put the update on the crad and then put the card inside the phone and turn it off.. when you start it next time you have the new update..
that what i read...
why can't it be done as the simens.. :(
cool phone :) got in in singapore aroung S$820- nice phone...... but where can i download Games?
Ok, then another question is about MiniSD chip... just got one of 256Mb, but as I put it in the phone, it surely detects it, but where is the point? I can make a folders on it, rename them and then delete. But how can I access this MiniSD or its folders from the PC? Or how can I move something from phones internal memory to MiniSD?

Just a little indulgence with the reds and golds again for today's image.
I've been going through some heart things these past few days that had me thinking about life in general. How time passes it seems, faster now, or that how it has become a desirable commodity, in my own life anyway.
Or maybe we're just all getting older, fatter and none the wiser. Okay so I'm probably the only one getting fatter, but that's okay, that is when I'm most happiest 🙂
I heard a quote recently from a good friend of mine:
"We over estimate what we can do in a day, we under estimate what we can do in a year.."
I think the original said something to the tune of, lifetime... but then again quotes are about as fickle as the sand under my toes. (there really isn't any sand btw…)
Writing is often a form of therapy. Did you all know that ya'll are my therapists?
We all started somewhere in the blogdom, and we all find our niches sooner or later. Some fall by the wayside and are forgotten altogether, and then some are lucky enough to fall into the laps of an interested audience. Time I invest here is much like time invested in reading an actual book, biking, hiking, singing….
And as with the natural ebb and flow of life, virtual or real, some days I have no choice but to spend that time elsewhere. And that is totally okay.
So if you're like me and indulge in a break every now and then, I say, the more the merrier! Obligations when taken to its end, is a thief of time.
This is Second Life. And as with all virtual worlds, big and small, you only have to turn on your computer to SLive again.
Thank you for stopping by and I promise the next time, it'll be much lighter. Girl's Scout's Honor!

Husband and wife duo tackles social justice while spreading the love
It's unusual to find an intact instrument in a war zone. What's even more unusual is to find a playable one, but that's exactly what happened to Michael Trotter Jr.
"I joined the military in June of 2003 and went through basic training. In December of '03, I was on a plane going to Germany, going from Germany to Kuwait, going from Kuwait to Iraq," Trotter said. "When my boots touched ground, one of the commanding officers explained to me that there was a piano in the location where we were staying at. It was one of the many pianos that Saddam Hussein had owned and that I could use it because he knew that I loved music."
Use it he did. Trotter said that making music was one of the few things that kept him sane during the conflict.
"I was taking full advantage of the opportunity to kind of take my mind away," Trotter said. "I gave myself concerts most of the time in the war, and imagined that I was at Carnegie Hall instead of sitting in a bomb zone." It wasn't until later, however, that Trotter understood the calming influence his music had on others.
"It didn't get real for me until that commanding officer was murdered — killed in action. It took me to a deeper place," Trotter said. "It wasn't about me anymore, it became about soothing the soldiers and writing about my time with him and you know that emotion took over everything."
Trotter's music became a tool to help his fellow soldiers deal with the pressures of the war and eventually, his talent was noticed. Trotter won first place in "Military Idol," the army's version of "American Idol."
According to Trotter, the victory was the culmination of his growth from a "frightened young man" to a "warrior" using his "voice to make a point."
Soon after, Trotter met his wife and fellow performer, Tanya Blount, in Lowell, Maryland — fittingly, during the city's "LoveFest" music festival. Blount said that after she saw Trotter perform, she was immediately drawn to her future husband.
Fast forward to present, and the duo is using their combined voices to stand up against "segregation and social injustice." Together, they make up the War and Treaty, an Americana group that is based in Albion, an hour southwest of Lansing.
"Music drew us together, but we didn't start the War and Treaty right away. We fell in love, got married, and had a baby and three years later formed War and Treaty," Blount said.
Trotter writes the band's music, sings and plays the piano while Blount provides lead vocals. The group's influences range from Ray Charles to Chris Thile of the Punch Brothers, but their sound is all their own.
This is in part due to Blount's fiery, soulful vocals that are at times reminiscent of her loved Mahalia Jackson. But according to Blount, even with the group's powerful sound and distinct commentary on social justice issues, they have only one overarching theme.
"I believe our overall message is one of love. When you can authentically exemplify love and when you can allow people into that deep, intimate place, whether it's onstage, whether it's offstage, love can penetrate everything. And we have been able to allow people to go deep with us on stage," Blount said.
And that message is not lost on their current tour, which just hit Lansing's Robin Theatre last July. War and Treaty is showcasing its brand-new EP "Down to the River," their first official release since the group's first single, "Hi-Ho," from 2016.
"This EP is our first effort to put out a body of work and I'm excited because next year in February, we will actually have an LP. It's called 'The Door,'" Blount said.
Fans of the group will still have a chance to see the War and Treaty perform across the state from Ann Arbor to Baroda.
The group will also loop back around to Lansing on Sept. 15, to kick off the first day of Michigan Blues Fest and give Lansing another shot of love.
"When you listen to our record, you may hear a couple of mistakes that I purposely left in the recording just because I didn't want to sacrifice the feel, because we felt something there," Trotter said. "We covered each other, we carried each other through that recording. And is it love? Yes. But is it also sacrifice and dedication and is it realness? Is it honesty? You bet your butt it is.
And I want people to walk away feeling like they are loved."
The War and Treaty 8:30 - 9:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 15, Lansing BluesFest, North Stage Old Town, Lansing. oldtownbluesfest.com

1. Innovation
With the rapid economic and technological development, in order to attract more consumers to invest, bankers have to innovate to follow the pace of the times.It is said that EY (2016)'The "business as usual" approach will not address the challenges faced by banks in emerging markets, particularly as competition from nontraditional market entrants increases. Nor will it satisfy the enhanced expectations of their customers.' First of all, I need to explain how the bank earn the profit, the bank's most basic profitable manner is based on the daily account customer operating expenses. More high-end way of profit is the financial market investment. So banks have to create a wide range of scientific and technological innovation to attract more customers in their own bank accounts.
2. Decrease the wasting time
EY(2016) showed lots of way that the banks used all over the world to attract customers. Most of them combine the daily life items with bank services or provide more services beyond the original services. For example, "In Indonesia, "floating banks" are capturing new customers by traveling to island populations." "In Poland, customers can use a smartphone app to request a "mobile ATM" — housed within an electric BMW i3 — to come to them at a specified place and time" " In Kenya, banks are partnering with mobile network providers to assess credit risks of first-time bank customers." " Unencumbered by market restrictions, a bank in Brazil has expanded beyond traditional banking to offer customers concierge-type services, such as hotel booking or restaurant reservations." What is said that, the banks offer much more convenience services to decrease the wasted waiting time.
3. Be connected
EY (2016) Also the mobile phone companies are changing banking around the world, in many countries, most of the banks create online services, for example lots of banks have apps or online banks. Customers can use the online bank to check the balance for the account or offering the banks transfer and other services. These are all to save the customers' time.

Welcome to my new blog! I created this blog as an outlet to spew motivation all over the place! Well… that and share my philosophically positive interpretation of the world. If that is such a thing 😉
Nevertheless, if you are looking for a positive voice, a pick-me-up or a kick-in-the-butt to start following your dreams, you have come to the right place! Wanna join the conversation? Please do! Send me a message or leave me a comment and we'll get the conversation rolling.
Who am I? Hmmmm, that's a loaded question. In short, I'm a motivational speaker. I'm a survivor. I'm an overcomer. I'm a talker. I'm an entertainer. I'm a goofball. I'm a business woman. But most important, it's my mission to be an uplifting voice in the world.
Yes, I am a motivational speaker; however I like to think of myself as life's motivational cheerleader. I believe in pushing yourself every day. Every day is a new opportunity to dream, and every day is a new chance to work toward your goals.
All you have to do is… do it!
Try it, I dare you! But, buyer beware, its contagious, inspiring and uplifting. That's why dreaming and achieving is so much fun!
Now, just as I challenge you to think outside the box and push yourself to have many great dreams, I too will push myself beyond my comfort zone. I am spreading my wings and expanding my mission and my message. There is enough negativity in the world so I've decided if I can help spread some "awesome" and some "motivation" then so be it, that's what I'm gonna do. Look out world, Adrienne is here to inspire, motivate, tell stories, cry, laugh and have some fun. Will you join me?
I fell into being a motivational speaker ten years ago when I won the title Miss Kansas. I spent a year traveling my home state giving motivational and inspirational talks to all ages. My message and enthusiasm must have caught on because ten years later I am still motivating; however, Toto, I'm not in Kansas anymore. I have magically appeared, via my Ford Escape, in schools, businesses and organizations not only in Kansas, but in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and New York! No, I'm notjust a former beauty queen. I'm also a survivor and an overcomer. Life has handed me its fair share of challenges such as severing my foot from my leg, facing depression, and surviving the dreaded rat race. My stories are diverse; moreover, I believe many of my greatest challenges are what allow me the ability to help others grow beyond their self-prescribed limitations.
So, first things first, I must say thank you for reading my first blog. Second, thank you for joining me on this journey. And third, the journey is much more fun with conversation. Please don't be a silent bystander. Instead, get noisy, get opinionated and lets have a conversation during this journey!
I encourage you to look around and if you have any questions/comments please don't hesitate to send them my way. I love conversation and constructive criticism.

When a wild dog is threatened, its pack members fiercely rally behind it and rip the enemy to shreds.
So what happens in the case of a data nerd? Do his or her fellow number-crunchers take out their slide rules, circle around the challenger and assume the attack position?
One of our own is being challenged. As the U.S. Presidential election heats up, so has the heat increased on Nate Silver, author of The Signal and the Noise and the New York Times' FiveThirtyEight blog, which in my opinion is one of the two best sources of election polling analysis along with HuffPost Pollster.
Many of the political pundits in Washington, DC frankly feel threatened by Silver's data driven approach to election forecasting. He has a model which factors in multiple variables and includes adjusted data from every major poll released. This approach gives Silver an overall probability of the outcome of the election for President as well as down-ballot races.
Not so fast, say the pundits. You can't replace gut feeling and experience with data.
Wait a minute say some conservatives, who are convinced Silver must be biased because he gives President Obama a probability of re-election north of 75%.
It got to the point where Silver and morning host / pundit Joe Scarborough publicly bet money on the election's outcome.
These criticisms are, of course, silly. They are all to reminiscent of the corporate executive who would rather go on intuition than use market research.
As data lovers, we should rally behind Silver and anyone else who defends the intelligent use of data.

Coming to San Antonio on February 28, 2016
Renowned for its passionate musicality, impressive technique and multicultural innovations, the Shanghai Quartet has become one of the world's foremost chamber ensembles. Its elegant style melds the delicacy of Eastern music with the emotional breadth of Western repertoire, allowing it to traverse musical genres including traditional Chinese folk music, masterpieces of Western music and cutting-edge contemporary works.
Formed at the Shanghai Conservatory in 1983, the Quartet has worked with the world's most distinguished artists and regularly tours the major music centers of Europe, North America and Asia. Among innumerable collaborations with noted artists, they have performed with pipa virtuoso Wu Man.
Recognized as the world's premier pipa virtuoso and leading ambassador of Chinese music, Grammy Award-nominated musician Wu Man has carved out a career as a soloist, educator and composer giving her lute-like instrument—which has a history of over 2,000 years in China—a new role in both traditional and contemporary music. Most recently, she has been featured on the soundtrack of the blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda 3".
Having been brought up in the Pudong School of pipa playing, one of the most prestigious classical styles of Imperial China, Wu Man is now recognized as an outstanding exponent of the traditional repertoire as well as a leading interpreter of contemporary pipa music by today's most prominent composers.
During the 2015-16 season, Wu Man embarks on an extensive North American tour with longtime colleagues, the Shanghai Quartet.

After the do-rite doughnuts, I wanted to make my own doughnuts. I am very unhappy with doughnuts available locally. All the airy stuff that feels like nothing. I like my doughnuts with more substance 🙂 Like the old fashioned ones I had.
So I decided to make some. I have not found this kind of doughnut yet in Manila (not that I was trying very hard) but I was happy to come out with a more than decent result on the first try! Maybe it was the humidity or I overestimated how much liquid I was going to put in, but the dough was really wet. But it was so good that it was worth all the trouble that I had, handling the dough 🙂
Except for the cake flour which I don't usually have on hand, everything else I had. Instead of mace, I used nutmeg since I knew this to be the flavor of old fashioned doughnuts. Without a glaze, this was actually incredibly scrumptious. Managing the heat of the oil was a bit difficult, but got easier as the time went by. Recipe I used is linked here and just be wary of the amount of liquid in the dough. But other than that, this recipe was completely perfect!!! I ended up freezing half of the dough (already in rings) ideally ready for frying. But let's see how that works out 🙂

Link: linnaeus.c18.net/Letter/L2882
Carl Linnaeus to Carl Funck,
6 February 1761 n.s.
L2882. Carl LinnaeusCarl Linnaeus (1707-1778). Swedish.
to Carl FunckCarl Funck (1708-1783). Swedish. Baron,
Linnaeus writes a letter to Carl FunckFunck, Carl (1708-1783).
Linnaeus writes that he has seen fishing of pearl mussels at Kurkijaur, the most wellknown pearl fishing area in Lapland rivers and describes the technique. In order to find pearls the mussels have to be killed and destroyed: many thousands are killed without finding good pearls. Maybe one in every 1, 000 or 2, 000 mussels has a pearl.
This technique is not worth the effort.
Linnaeus writes that pearls in mussels are not natural but a sickness and that is might be possible to make mussels producing pearls artificially. This might also be profitable.
Linnaeus discusses possible ways of getting mussels to produce pearls and says that after six years the pearl is as large as a pea and after 12 years it is twice that size. He also discussed the economy of this business. Linnaeus estimates that one person can impregnate 100 mussels a day and another two persons can provide the impregnating material. Linnaeus says that all impregnated mussels will have pearls as long as they are returned to the rapids.
It is of the utmost importance to keep this method a secret as the same kind of mussels can be found in Austria, Switzerland and Scotland. If the method were to be used by foreigners the value of the pearl would fall. Linnaeus describes how to protect the mussel rapids.
Linnaeus continues that he has heard about people making gold but not about making pearls. He has, however, heard about a person asking for permission to build ponds for producing pearls in Finland, but he has no further information about the project [Linnaeus refers to the application made by Friedrich HedenbergHedenberg, Friedrich Swedish.
Linnaeus has not used his knowledge of producing pearls for his own profit. He has only made experiments with marine mussels that cannot produce the same high quality pearls as the pearl mussels. Linnaeus writes that he could have sold the pearl fishing method to a foreign country, but he prefers this method to stay within Sweden and he hopes that he will be economically compensated.

I had a friend request that I put up my weekly menu for a while to help her figure out what she was going to eat for the week. So here is the first week. The meals don't always stay on the assigned days depending on what time I get home and the prep time needed for the meal. Also in the summer I don't usually have meals planned for the weekends, as we tend to go places on the weekends more often than not.
Monday - Clazones
Tuesday - Breakfast "Burrito" (I will make extras for breakfasts for a few days)
Wednesday - Coconut Curry Chicken
Thursday - Grilled Ceasar Chicken salad
Friday - Tuna Melt
For snacks and dessert during the week will be blueberries with yogurt, and canned peaches with vanilla ice cream. Yum!

I wanted to Crochet for such a long time but I just could not get to grips with the hook or how to hold the yarn. I had already 'mastered' knitting, well when I say 'mastered' I really mean I can make a knit stitch and a purl stitch! Drop a stitch and oh my I break out in a cold sweat….. still not 100% sure what I am doing when I fix it but it seems to work (most of the time).
Anyhow I'm going off on a tangent so what I really wanted was a crochet blanket of my own to snuggle up under.
My journey to becoming a crocheter started in 2013 when I was pregnant with baby number 4 we took the kiddos on a trip to the local Library, while they were happy playing on the train library bookcase searching out new books under Mr Crusic's watchful eye. I took the opportunity to nip into the craft section and had a look at the 'how to' crochet books. It is here I had a lovely conversation with a lady about crochet and my desire to learn how to make gorgeous blankets.
She suggested I take a look at the Attic 24 website, saying it was such a lovely read and I would find it helpful and inspiring, so later that day I stopped by and took a look.
What an inspiration of colour, ideas and gorgeous crochet-ness. Lucy who writes the blog takes the most beautiful photo's and gives really clear instructions. I had a feeling one day I would be able to crochet! The Attic 24 blog is a little part of the web I like to visit often it is always nice to have a browse around whilst enjoying a cup of tea.
So when my little man was only 17 days old and constantly enjoyed afternoon naps on my chest (oh how I miss those days) I had the desire and determination to learn how to crochet. I would sit on the sofa with my trusty phone propped up next to me with a You Tube tutorial playing and this is how I learnt to crochet a Granny square with my snuggly, snoozing little man for company.
Woohoo!!!! Here it is my first Granny square, in all it's primary colour glory!
The more I practised the better I got and I started a love affair with a yarn brand called Stylecraft Special DK. Lucy from Attic 24 raved about it so it had to worth a try. There are so many wonderful colours in the range '82 in fact' I believe some new colours are being realised next month (ekkk!). It is a great value yarn, easy to work with and the added bonus of being soft and cosy. You can even tumble dry on low …… big bonus as all my littlies like to have there blankets on their beds at all times!
So below is the tower of blankets we currently have in our home and one on the hook as I type this. They all get put to daily use (especially this time of year) and I look forward to sharing more makes with you soon.
