Blade Runner 2049 is the sequel to the cult classic Blade Runner. No one really asked for a sequel to Blade Runner. I mean, I was certainly surprised to hear about its existence. At the time, all I knew about the original was that it was a classic and Harrison Ford starred in it. So, I watched the original, and immediately thought the worst of the impending sequel. I mean, it could be good with the right people, but Hollywood never gets the right people.
Then, Hollywood got the right people.
Music by Hans Zimmer. Camerawork by Roger Deakins. Writers from the original Blade Runner and Logan. And, most encouragingly, direction from Denis Villeneuve, director of Arrival, Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, and others. I was interested.
The time came for the movie to come out, and (to my dismay) it flopped. Not critically, no, it was embraced by most everyone. What was worrying was the fact that this film had a budget of $150 million and it opened with $32 million. For those of you who don’t really know about box office margins, let’s look at a few other films of similar budget. Ratatouille, Thor: The Dark World, and Mad Max: Fury Road. Ratatouille, the 2007 Disney-Pixar animated film, has a great market: kids. Kids make Hollywood money, so this movie made money. It’s worldwide total exceeded $620 million, and it opened with $47 million. Pretty good, pretty good. Next, we have the Marvel film Thor 2. While Ratatouille was an original idea, therefore making it harder to sell, Thor was a part of the already-successful Marvel Cinematic Universe. That has a built-in audience of comic fans, as well as the hordes of teenagers, adults, and kids who will see the movie because they recognize Thor from The Avengers. Thor 2 opened at $85 million.
The last film we’re gonna look at resembles 2049 a lot more closely than the last two. They’re both late sequels to critically acclaimed films, they both have a good helping of critical love themselves, they’re both rated R, they both star a currently-hot actor in the leading role, and they both kinda came out of the blue in terms of existence. No one was really asking for a sequel to Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, but we got it anyways. Max 4 opened with $45 million.
As we can see, a $32 million opening is nowhere close to good for a film of this budget. Considering all the talent involved, I wasn’t terribly happy when I saw the numbers this movie was making. After seeing it, I’m even less pleased, so I’m making a PSA right now. If you have not seen Blade Runner 2049, watch it. Watch it right now. If it’s still in theaters by the time you read this, go watch it. If it’s not, wait until it comes out on video and buy it. Don’t rent it, you’re gonna wanna watch it again. There aren’t too many movies that I explicitly say this for, but you need to see this. 2049 is absolutely unmissable, and here’s why.
To start, let’s talk about the visuals. I’m a real sucker for good visuals (as anyone who’s watched a good-looking movie with me before will tell you, I am very enthusiastic about good cinematography.) This movie darn near killed me. Every single shot is worthy of being a desktop wallpaper. Every. Single. Shot. If you want an example, the cover image I’ve put for this review isn’t too far off from an actual shot in the movie. And the movie version looks better. By this point, Roger Deakins is such a master of his craft that he could make my graceless dog missing his jump onto the couch look like a renaissance painting. Moving beyond the camera, everything on screen works beautifully to realize this world and seep you further and further into dread. The colors are perfectly grim, all of the effects are convincing, the sets are just incredible, it’s all perfect. There is not a single thing wrong with the things we see on screen.
“That’s great,” you might be thinking. “That’s just peachy, Dawson, but is anything else good? Is it a case of A Cure for Wellness where it looks amazing but is really just hot garbage?” No. Thank God. This movie is far from a polished turd. It’s a polished burrito. It’s substantial, it’s spicy, it’s brutal, it’s everything you’d ever want from a burrito, but in movie form. The plot is captivating, but I kinda feel like giving any of it away would spoil it. Every plot point, every bit of information is revealed at just the right moment, right when it’s dramatically appropriate. despite this, nothing feels frustratingly withheld for the sake of tension. K (Ryan Gosling) is doing everything he possibly can to unravel this mystery – and he gets results. That’s why it always feels earned, K doesn’t have anyone telling him he’s too stupid to know a piece of information, or that he doesn’t have access to it. Even if he does, he just finds it out himself. No bit of information was cheaply earned or unfairly classified, and you have no idea how rare that is.
Let’s talk about actors. They’re kind of necessary to a film, good actors even more necessary. All of the performances are great. Ryan Gosling is the master of staring forlornly into the distance. He’s able to convey a mountain of emotion and character with only a sad face. He’s incredible. Harrison Ford is in this movie, and he’s exceptional as well. I was actually surprised by this, because before I watched it, I wasn’t sure if he cared about this project or not. He’s one of those actors whose performance quality increases or decreases with the amount of care he holds or does not hold for the movie in question. As a result, if he wasn’t particularly fond of a Blade Runner sequel, his performance wouldn’t be anything to write home about. In a movie like this, if there’s one person underperforming, they stick out. Here, he gives his best performance in years. Another surprise was Jared Leto who plays the antagonist of sorts. Last time we looked at Leto, he was hamming it up in Suicide Squad as the worst Joker to hit the screen. Now, as far as I’m concerned, he’s redeemed himself. Ana de Armas is heartbreaking as Joi, K’s AI companion. If I listed everyone who did a great job, this review would be twice as long.
This is a heavy movie. It deals with numerous topics surrounding humanity and love, like how close to human can artificial humanity get, how close should it get, can an AI love, can we love an AI, how much of a role does memory play into humanity; this movie even touches on some environmental issues as well. The movie presents these questions, as well as both sides of the resulting debate, and leaves you to chew on the ideas yourself. You will want to see this movie multiple times, I certainly do. If not for the breathtaking visuals, for the ideas thought upon.
As I thought further about it, I struggled to come up with anything wrong in this movie. Even things I originally thought were flaws turned out not to be. Not only are there no flaws, the whole movie embodies the figurative bar. The bar that indicates how good a film can be. How good the shots can be, how good the music can be, how good the acting can be, how good the writing can be, how good the directing can be, how good anything can be. As I sat in the theater, accompanied by a friend and some other moviegoers, I felt something. Something I scarcely feel. I felt like this movie, against all odds, was becoming a 10/10. And after much deliberation, I’ve decided that it is.
I’m even more looking forward to seeing this now!! I think they should be paying you some marketing royalties!! | 2019-04-22T01:05:53 | https://moviegalleryreject.com/2017/11/13/blade-runner-2049-review/ |
The gut and its importance to our overall health is a topic of increasing research in the medical community. Many studies have demonstrated links between gut health and the immune system, mood, mental health, autoimmune diseases, skin conditions and cancer.
Needless to say it is important to take care of your second brain, the gut. I decided to share with you 15 tips how to heal your gut microbiome.
Your gut needs water to function properly. It is crucial for your gut´s mucosa and the movement of your bowel.
Avoid products containing a lot of preservatives and additives. The purpose of preservatives is to kill bacteria and we don´t know how these affect to our intestine´s flora.
If you already have problems with gluten and dairy, avoid these. There´s a lot of studies which indicate that these can harm your gut if you are sensitive to these.
Your intestine renews every week so it needs a lot of "building material" from proteins. You can get these by eating nuts, seeds, beans, chicken, fish and lentils.
Your gut will love these food items. If raw vegetables, such as carrots cause problems then cook and mash them.
Your gut health is dependent on good fats, such as cold pressed olive oil. These good oils affect to the condition of your intestine´s mucus.
Good sources of fiber are pears, flaxseeds, psyllium, chia seeds, rye bread, oats. At the same time remember to drink enough water. Fiber and fluids work together.
By eating organic produce you will avoid harmful pesticides. Pesticides disrupt your hormone levels. Read more How Harmful are Preservatives and Pesticides?
Avoid certain spices such as chili, black pepper, curry, garlic which might cause problems to your intestine or if you already suffer intestine problems then they might worsen your symptoms.
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener preservative. There are a lot of rumors which claim that aspartame can cause a number of health benefits including cancer. What we do now is that aspartame will cause bloating and will disrupt our sugar metabolism. Which can lead to extra weight instead of weight loss. Read more about aspartame and metabolism in here and cancer and aspartame in here.
Chronic stress can really mess with your intestine´s well being. Try to reduce your stress levels and your intestine will thank you. One way of reducing stress is to practice being more mindful. It ain´t always easy but here you can read a few easy tips how to be more mindful.
It is always a heath act not to drink alcohol but when it comes down to your guts´health it is even more advisable. Alcohol will cause intestine problems. If you are in need of a drink, have a glass of organic wine.
Coffee can cause heart burns. Coffee is a diuretic so it will dehydrate your body. Have a glass of water with your coffee. Here you can read my experiences on how and why I stopped drinking coffee on a regular basis.
There are a lot of studies indicating how beneficial probiotics are to your guts´ health. Remember to take these on an empty stomach.

One should always have paper charts. We went one step further, 3D charts ie a globe.
It was a long, but easy ride down from Jervis Bay to Bryan’s Corner on Frecyinet Peninsula. Seventy-five hours of mostly motor-sailing, through easy seas with light or no winds.
From Jervis Bay to Eden, hug the coast to avoid the slight north going current. But from Eden to Tasmania there are eddies begging to be used.
We’re on our way! We left Newcastle at about 3pm on Wed., once the SE wind had eased, and motor-sailed through the night.
Well, we did cross the Tasman back to Aus, albeit arriving in Newcastle, 260nm north of the intended destination of Eden.
Passage to Aus: Day 11 and Arrival!
Just a short blog to say that Rusalka arrived in Newcastle at around 4 pm. They made very good time yesterday and today with wind off the beam and a favourable current, reaching a maximum of 10.4kt over the ground! More details tomorrow, but just a note to say all are well and enjoying a well earned whiskey.
Rusalka spent the night trying to swim upstream, with a strong current (over 3kts) against her. It made for very slow progress. All night the winds were strong and Rusalka was pounding and bashing her way into the wind at 6-7kt through the water, but barely 3kt over ground. It was a very uncomfortable night for all.
Rusalka is still trudging on towards Newcastle. While the wind is now favourable, they’ve battled a current of 2kts against them all day and so are only averaging around 4 – 4.5kts. They are expecting the current to ease in the next few hours and are still hoping to make Newcastle on Saturday.
How was it that we found ourselves in this storm?
It was quite a wild night. The severe weather was a series of events beginning on Monday afternoon and finishing early Tuesday. The effect of storm meant we could not go on our planned course to Eden due to wind and wave strength and direction that persisted afterwards.
During the night we heard the odd noise or two outside – maybe a block moving? maybe a few drops of rain? Nothing to get out of bed and investigate. In the morning all was revealed.
The weather has been quite benign, with light winds and comfortable temperatures, so we don’t feel in any rush to go home! We left Wineglass Bay and motored south into Mercury Passage, passing Ile de Phoques, with it’s huge seal colonies.
We left George Town at the almost civilized hour of 06:50, on the outgoing tide, and enjoyed a 2kt push out of the Tamar.
We enjoyed our stay at the Tamar Yacht Club, sleeping in and eating out. I thought I might get a bit of exercise and ride my folding bike (that we’ve been lugging across Bass Strait and back) to the shops to get some cheese to go with the champagne we’d planned to have in the evening.
We spent a week happily lounging around, visiting family and friends, and playing with our grandson, but with one eye on the weather forecasts. A 2-3 day window of light winds seemed to be consistently showing for the end of the week, so we gathered up provisions and motored out of of the marina on Thursday morning.
The wind at Oberon Bay howled all night at 25 kts, gusting to 30, but we managed a reasonable sleep. We got up at 5:15 and set off in the dawn light with the intention of stopping at San Remo, on the eastern side of Westernport Bay.
I was very pleased to see that my anchor drop the previous day had been accurate and we had indeed dug well about 1m from the small sandy spot I’d aimed at.
Binalong Bay turned out to be a horribly rolly anchorage, with the swell coming in on our quarter and slapping the hull outside our aft cabin. At midnight we couldn’t take the noise any more and decamped for berths further forward!
After a windy day and night at anchor in Shoal Bay on Maria Island (with strong wind shifts from the east, south and west), we set off for Wineglass Bay, further up the coast.
We were enjoying breakfast this morning while the winds blew moderately from the north. Suddenly the anchor alarm went off and we could see from the track on the chart plotter that we were indeed slowly moving southward.
We’ve set off on our trip to Victoria to visit family and friends! I’ll try to post every few days or whenever we get a reasonable phone signal.
We joined in on the Parade of Sail, along with hundreds of other boats, to welcome the tall ships and other wooden boats to Hobart for the Australian Wooden Boat festival.
We had been planning a 2 week trip to Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour with our friend Lindsay, but an expired alternator meant a change in plans. The weather in early January was too good to waste, so we decided that a jaunt closer to home would be enjoyable and more prudent with only a single small working alternator.
After one or two false starts we set off from Kettering on Saturday, the 22nd Dec. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed a gentle motor-sail across Storm Bay.
We’ve been following the GGR for over a year on their facebook page and website. This solo round the world race aims to recreate the conditions of the original GGR in 1968. There are only two “gates” in the race that the entrants have to sail through – one in the Canary Islands and one just south of Hobart.
Warning - this post is a long one! I decided to tell the whole story of our trip to Denmark in one post.
It wasn’t a very nice 24hrs for the crew of Rusalka. Yesterday afternoon they were punching into 2.5-3m seas, making slow progress SW into 20-25kt WNW winds. About 6pm NZ time, while having mushroom barley soup for dinner, they crossed the magical “halfway” mark of 162.05E (halfway between Nelson and Eden).
Alex sent in the text for today's blog. They're nearing the halfway mark and getting ready for tonight's bad weather.
Storm Preparations: As Rusalka charges NW trying to get out of the way of the bad weather to come on Mon/Tues, Alex and crew are doing a few things to prepare for the wind and waves.
The topic of the messages that went back and forth with Rusalka today was “Weather”!
Last night was still, with glassy seas. This morning there was a very slight low swell and grey skies.
No pictures today, I'm afraid! Just a quick update from Alex. Rusalka's course on Day 1 was NNE across Tasman Bay and Cook Strait, with wind more or less on the beam. A pod of dolphins escorted the boat out of Nelson - always a good omen!
I (Jackie) took the easy way home, by plane, on Easter Sunday. Alex, David and Anne continued to prepare the boat and wait for the right weather to leave.
Summer’s gone and it’s time to head back to Tassie. Alex has been checking the Predictwind forecasts daily and it’s starting to look like there will be windows available to get to Australia – at least somewhere in NSW, if not directly to Hobart, in the next week or so.
Since we had decided not to take Rusalka further afield than Marlborough Sounds, we hired a car to do a short road trip to explore the South Island further.
We spent the better part of a week in Nelson, doing chores and chasing up leads for crew for the return journey, so we decided that we deserved a couple of days of play in Abel Tasman National Park.
We woke up in Muzz’s Cove on Monday morning to heavy rain and low visibility, but decided to move on to another bay in Pelorus Sound.
As always, the weather guides our plans. With a forecast of two calm days before a Northwesterly gale we decided to leave beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound and head back around Cape Jackson to visit Pelorus Sound.
We booked the ferry to Wellington for Sunday for a short getaway, expecting to return on Wednesday. Cyclone Gita was coming, but it was uncertain when, where or how hard it would hit NZ.
After a couple of rainy days we were getting itchy feet and decided to spend a few more days looking around the inner QCS area.
Monday was a windy day with strong NW’s, but we decided to head up Endeavour Inlet to Furneaux Lodge. Some of the resorts here have moorings that they allow visitors to use for free – with the expectation that you’ll have a coffee or meal in their restaurant. They will even ferry you to and from your boat in their dinghy.
After the big blow we spent Friday getting ready for a week of cruising – food shopping, fueling the boat, having one last restaurant meal. We left Nelson on Saturday, in light winds heading for the notorious French Pass, that would let us slip under d’Urville Island and avoid some exposure to Cook Strait.
Extra-tropical cyclone Fehi was heading our way and had been forecast to hit NZ several days in advance. We came back from our mini-trip to the Abel Tasman NP and tied ourselves securely into our berth to await the storm.
Our original plan was to head off towards the Marlborough Sounds as soon as we were all settled on the boat, but there was an “extra-tropical cyclone” forecast for Thursday which sounded pretty nasty so we decided to be in the Nelson marina when that hit.
For those interested in how much fuel we used, and so on, here are The Numbers.
This is just a placeholder. Judy B. and I (Jackie) are flying over to Nelson on Saturday to join Rusalka and to sail in the Marlborough Sounds. We might not post for a few days while we get ourselves organised and provisioned, but then we'll share our pictures and stories on this blog site. So keep watching.
I've had a phone call from Alex. It looks like they arrived early this morning and cleared customs around 10:30am NZ time. The photo is from Andrew Boon. I'll update when I hear more.
Well, the fine weather and seas have given way to give a commonly heard of introduction to NZ. What started as a beautiful early morning, sailing gracefully, by late morning we found ourselves in the midst of a mild belting.
We are closing in on our distination. We will arrive on Friday 26 Jan. Customs has been advised of ETA 1400 on 26 Jan.
Not much to report from Rusalka today. More light winds and calm seas. They finally turned the engine off again at 1pm today and are doing 6kt under full main and genoa.
ADDENDUM: 17:50 21 Jan. Ten minutes ago, just as the spaghetti bolognese was being served, we passed the halfway mark!!!
Settled into the routine of 3hour watches. All together for the main meal at about 6pm AEDT.
9am Fri. 19 Jan: Quite bumpy overnight. Winds 24-28kts, gusting into 30's as predicted. Seas mainly wind waves, not too bad, occasionally nasty. Water in cockpit every now and then gets down below!
Rusalka sailed on today, passing Tasman Island around midday in calm conditions.
The weather gods (Predictwind and MetBob) decided that there would be a good window to leave from this evening onward, so Alex and Bill brought the boat up to town from Kettering this morning, stopping to fuel up at the RYCT dock and to raise the CYCT burgee!
Alex and crew are ready to go! The boat is ready, passage planning is done and documentation is in order. Provisions are stowed and meals are cooked, frozen, and waiting to be loaded on board. But the weather is refusing to come to the party!
We'd made a long-standing promise to our friend Pam to watch the Hobart fireworks from the water with her nephew and his wife who are visiting from the US.
Christmas Eve dinner on Rusalka in Norfolk Bay. Quail in herb, champagne, and cream sauce with veggies and beetroot salad. And dessert!!
After many weeks of maintenance chores and getting ready for summer cruising, we finally got away for a few days to make sure everything is still working and to remind ourselves how to sail!
Back in Kettering after a relaxed 4 1/2 motor and sail from Kermandie.
Rusalka has been with Dean Marks in Kermandie undergoing annual antifouling and other tasks in preparation for the planned trip in January. After 20 days at Kermandie, today we brought Rusalka back to Kettering. | 2019-04-25T00:25:03 | https://www.rusalka.com.au/index.php/blog/new-zealand-2018 |

Ahead of Record Store Day on 21 April, we speak to label boss Ralph Tee about what the day means to him, and hear the story behind two limited releases he’s prepared to mark the event.
UK based Expansion Records specialises in both classic and new soul music, offering a platform for veteran and emerging artists to release their material.
The award-winning label’s very first releases in the 80s were through Richard Searling and John Anderson from Soul Bowl Records in Kings Lynn. Ralph joined in 1989, around the time Ronnie McNeir released his Life & Love album. Early success came with the singles Give Me the Sunshine by Leo’s Sunshipp and James King’s Memory.
In 2008 Expansion Records joined forces with Jazz FM for joint venture label Jazz FM Records, creating a series of compilations including The Sound of Jazz FM, The Soul of Smooth Jazz and Funky Sensation. Ralph also presents a Sunday afternoon show on Jazz FM from 4pm.
How important is Record Store Day to businesses like yours?
Anything that brings people into record stores is good news for us. It’s an opportunity not only for Record Store Day releases, but for sales of our general releases in an environment where customers can see, feel and hear the music with the service and sales experience of a store. Record Store Day also allows us to be adventurous with releases, experiment with formats and titles where interest is marginal but we know will be appreciated by the limited audience who ordinarily we couldn’t afford to serve. The higher revenue return makes this possible as a more expensive selling price is regarded as acceptable for Record Store Day releases, and there’s also the benefit from the profile given to the releases that comes through being part of the day.
Is this the first time you’ve prepared releases for it?
No, last year was the first time. We issued a hand numbered Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson single in conjunction with a participating record store, Soul Brother Records. It was a great success.
There seems to be a growing number of reissues and remixes released on Record Store Day each year. Do you think it reflects the changing market for vinyl?
In the eighteen months since exploding onto the international music scene with his debut album Water, Gregory Porter has racked up a stream of awards including a Best Jazz Vocal Grammy nomination. To me, 1960 What? is the most significant vocal jazz hit in years and very much on my radar from the start at Jazz FM where I am a presenter.
At the tail end of last year the song was remixed by Germany’s Peter Major, aka dance music producer Opolopo and in my A&R capacity for Jazz FM Records I tried to secure it for a 2011 CD collection. I was told it was too soon as Opolopo’s own album featuring the mix had not been officially released – it was still being promoted. I had known Peter since 2007 when my own label Expansion released his mix of Tall Green Grass by Karl Frierson. His mix of 1960 What is amazing and has transformed the song from a radio hit into a dance floor smash. It was actually the suggestion of my friend Steve Cole, a DJ/vinyl enthusiast, that both the original and Opolopo Kick & Bass Rerub mixes back to back would make a fantastic 12 inch release. My original concern was that 12 inch singles don’t sell enough, and the mixes are too long for the seven inch vinyl format which is currently enjoying a resurgence. So Record Store Day became a wonderful solution as it allowed Expansion to put out a superb record on 12 inch single, hand numbered for vinyl fans and collectors with some guaranteed in support. Though actually we only pressed 500 and I’m already wishing we had run a few more.
It’s back: the iconic hit record that pushed the boundaries of dance music and created a whole new genre. Papua New Guinea by The Future Sound of London gets its first 10 inch release! The limited edition hand numbered 500 press is being made available for Record Store Day complete with brand new track Murmurations.
The first promotional copies of Papua New Guinea surfaced in 1991, but such was the impact of the record it was rescheduled for 1992 so not to get lost at Christmas and was promo’d again. Since then it has been re-pressed and remixed regularly. Future Sound of London’s Brian and Gary have been back in the studio working on a new album collection Environments 4 and are collaborators on a new solo album for Noel Gallagher due next year. The 10 inch is also a joint venture with Vinyl Factory, the old EMI pressing plant currently promoting the format and involved in a campaign to promote British manufacturing. | 2019-04-19T14:54:10 | https://www.m-magazine.co.uk/features/interviews/m-meets-expansion-records-ralph-tee/ |
With January being a popular month for gym memberships, I wanted to address a common misconception in the wellness industry: A healthy lifestyle means setting aside time for exercise, yes, but it also means making Habits of Healthy Motion a part of your entire day, not just the half hour or hour that you spend lifting weights.
Just so there’s no confusion, scheduling time specifically for exercise is still important. You should aim to get at least 30 minutes of exercise activity a day (walking is a great place to start).
The problem is that even if you meet the recommended amount of dedicated exercise a day, it will still only take up, less than 2 percent of your week. That leaves a lot of time for you to be sedentary when you should be staying active and burning calories. In Dr. A’s Habits of Health, I divide these categories into Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (EAT; dedicated exercise time) and Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT; the motion that makes up the rest of your day).
NEAT is actually a much more efficient way to fight calorie creep and a more important contributor to energy expenditure. It’s also much easier to do—in fact you’re already doing it. With a little bit of planning, you can do it even better!
The goal is to make motion a near-continuous part of your day. This can be a challenge in a modern world where we have long commutes to work and may spend the majority of a workday parked at a desk, but it’s still possible to incorporate some of the steady activity that kept our hunter-gatherer ancestors fit and lean.
Stance – Pay attention to your posture. Instead of melting into your office chair, activate your core, align your body properly, and focus on the foundational muscles that give your core strength, especially when you are seated. If you can sit on an exercise ball at your desk, you are less likely to forget about your posture.
Strolling – You should aim for a daily count of 10,000 steps. If you park a bit farther from the door, use the far water cooler at work, and take the stairs instead of the elevator, you can reach your goal before you hit the treadmill for a workout.
Samba – Dancing is a great way to burn calories and lift your mood. Listen to music at work and tap your foot or bounce your head to the beat. If you’re listening to music at home during chores, bust out some of your favorite moves while you’re at it.
Switch – For simple daily tasks, try using your non-dominate hand. This forces your mind and body to do a little bit of extra work, which is great for brain health as well, and you will burn some easy calories in the process.
Mindfulness – During a long day, it’s all-too easy to forget about your Habits of Healthy Motion. Set an hourly reminder to get up and walk (or at least stand for the next phone call), and with some practice you will become more aware of your need for motion.
Our days should be full of activity. Even if getting up from your office chair every hour doesn’t seem like a huge step forward, keeping that habit strong for months and months will introduce a wealth of motion to your life and will help to combat the many health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. | 2019-04-21T22:38:51 | http://www.drwayneandersen.com/2017/01/12/exercise-is-more-than-hitting-the-gym/ |

We met with the ever charming Carin at Fringe today. She bought us coffee and told us about venues. We’re looking mostly at the old St Vincent de Paul’s venue on Peel Street, although there’s a couple of other places in the pipeline. We won’t know the venue for another couple of weeks, but once we do we’ll get a better idea of how the programming is likely to work. Keep sending us expressions of interest. If we get a large enough space we should be able to accommodate quite a bit. | 2019-04-24T10:12:03 | https://formatfestival.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/the-quest-for-a-venue/ |
Silver Tree has attractive grayish green-variegated silver foliage. The fuzzy oval leaves are highly ornamental and remain silver throughout the winter. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant.
Silver Tree is a multi-stemmed evergreen tree with a shapely oval form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
Silver Tree will grow to be about 40 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 20 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.
This tree should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is particular about its soil conditions, with a strong preference for poor, alkaline soils, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This species is not originally from North America.
Silver Tree is a fine choice for the yard, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its height, it is often used as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, this plant may be too tender to survive the winter if left outdoors in a container. Contact our store for more information on how to protect it over the winter months. | 2019-04-22T03:58:56 | https://plants.alsipnursery.com/12120002/Plant/14938/Silver_Tree |
When you’re on the road, you often want to pull off for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. Once you do, the road starts to beckon again almost immediately.
Leesville, New York, was one of the most western posts on the First Great Western Turnpike, built as a toll road from Albany, the state capital, to the frontier town of Cherry Valley in the late 18th century. Commerce didn’t come cheap – drivers (of a different sort) paid 3 cents per dozen to move their sheep and swine along the road. No tolls were collected from people going to or returning from church or the grist mill, or from those who were on military duty or on journeys within the town where the tollgate was located.
This is as urban as it gets along Route 20 in New York, as it passes through the state capital of Albany. Here it runs along the Empire State Plaza, home to the offices of state legislators and executive branch agencies. More compelling, perhaps, is the egg-shaped structure called, appropriately enough, The Egg, a performing arts center that descends six stories below ground level.
Modern-day Albany is a far cry from its early days. It was first settled as the Dutch trading posts of Fort Nassau (1614) and lays claim to being the longest continually chartered city in the United States (chartered in 1686). | 2019-04-22T02:20:05 | https://accidentalhighway.com/tag/roads/ |

Nike Inc enjoyed big sales in gains in North America and Europe last quarter and benefited from fewer markdowns, helping the maker of sports clothes and shoes report a stronger-than-expected quarterly profit.
Total revenue rose 7.7 percent to $6.97 billion, and global orders for delivery later this year, which the company calls "futures orders," rose 10 percent excluding currency impact, suggesting Nike's hot streak will continue.
Nike shares rose 5.7 percent to $74.35 in after-hours trading. Including those gains, shares are up 13.7 percent since the announcement earlier this month that Nike would join the Dow Jones industrial average.
Nike revenue in North America rose 9 percent, and in Western Europe, where many retailers have struggled with a pullback by consumers, sales grew 8 percent.
The company earned $780 million, or 86 cents a share, in its fiscal first quarter, ended August 31, compared with $567 million, or 63 cents a share, last year. Analysts expected a profit of 78 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Nike's gross margin rose 1.2 points to 44.9 percent of sales, helped by lower cotton costs and fewer markdowns. The company had forecast gross margin to be unchanged.
Futures orders for delivery between this month and January 2014 rose 12 percent in both Europe and North America.
In China, where Nike is grappling with excess inventory and intense competition from price-cutting rivals, sales fell 3 percent, but futures orders rose 2 percent. | 2019-04-25T02:05:51 | https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/nike-revenue-surges-in-north-america-and-europe |

Like a jeweled half moon, The Mandarin Oriental Hotel prominently sits on the crown of Brickell Key facing out to the Biscayne Bay. The hotel is contemporary in decor with Asian accents but not overpowering. Many celebrities have stayed at this hotel near downtown Miami with 180 degree view of the water. All restaurants, the pool, lounge bar, gym, and massage suites face the glittering water.
The Mandarin houses two restaurants--Azul and Cafe Sambal.
Cafe Sambal is the more casual of the two but with upscale standards and resides on the lower level. Embroidered by an inner band of rich, fuschia-colored bougainvillea and surrounded by glistening green-blue water, the alfresco dining section is like a brilliant ruby and emerald gem ring setting. The Miami Skyline in the backdrop was surreal. Not many restaurants can boast both water and skyline view.
For an appetizer, the soy beans "Steamed Edamame with Hawaiian Seasalt" was highly recommended by Kristin, the Sales Manager. Placing the string of beans in between my teeth to remove the encapsulated bean (similar to cracking sunflower seeds and separating the seed from the shell), I pulled the other end of the bean for a clean sweep. The glittering bronze sea salt was the singular flavor. The Edamame is eaten for the experience and the health factor. At $8.00 for a deep dish bowl, the edamame is a pure protein snack. Once you have one, you can't stop until the bowl is empty.
Overall, this restaurant deserves high marks for food, flavor and ambience. Prices are on the high end which is to be expected for an upscale hotel for the rich and famous.

I made this card to try a new technique from the class Clean & Simple 3: One Layer Cards. It is also the first try of using my new KNK Zing electronic cutting machine in my scrapbooking projects.
It was an experiment and it went almost well. There were problems at first but I could make corrections and solve them. The technique involves a lot of die cutting. First I was thinking about using my Big Shot with regular dies but had another idea. To make it work I had to die cut custom letters and shapes. So I turned on my newly purchased KNK Zing. The software that comes with it is easy to use. It took me less then half an hour to design the cutting project. Then I tested it on regular paper and went on to my colored cardstock. I used black textured cardstock and for the rainbow gradient I used Distress Inks and an ink blending tool.
What a really pretty card you created!!! I love how you used the technique we learned.
Fantastic card. Love the colors. | 2019-04-24T14:51:33 | http://www.handmade-scrapbooking.com/hello-card-rainbow-circles-on-black/ |

Hi Guys! In today's video we are going to do a waterfall braid using elastic bands. This style has been inspired by @abellasbraids and we added our own touch to get a really pretty hairstyle. This style is perfect for beginners because there is no need to hold strands of hair and the elastics are a good trick to make a waterfall style. You can do it on medium or long hair and it is a very good option for every/any day. If you don;t have enough time you can let the strands out whit no braids and the result will be beautiful as well. Hope you like this video as much as I do and give us a big TUMBS UP if so!!!!

Martyn Irvine will be out of action for about five or six weeks after suffering a hip fracture in a crash in Belgium on Wednesday.
The Northern Irishman, 31, was competing in the Baloise Belgium Tour event for his Irish professional team Aqua Blue Sport.
Former world track champion Irvine came out of retirement last October to sign for the team.
A team tweet said Irvine had sustained a “minor hairline fracture”.
Irvine’s team-mates include fellow Irishmen Matt Brammeier and Conor Dunne.
The County Down man retired from the sport after failing to qualify for the Rio Olympics before reversing the decision nine months later.
Aqua Blue Sport’s goal is to eventually participate at a World Tour level and compete in the Tour de France, but their events this season include the Milan-San Remo classic, Amstel Gold and the Tour of Britain.
Newtownards man Irvine became the first Irish cyclist to win a world track title in 117 years with victory in the scratch race in Belarus in 2013.
He finished 2013 as number one scratch rider in the 2013 UCI world rankings and claimed a scratch silver medal in the 2014 Track Cycling World Championships.
His achievements in 2013 led to him being named as the BBC Northern Ireland Sports Personality of the Year. | 2019-04-23T01:59:10 | http://johnnyonabike.co.uk/martyn-irvine-will-be-out-for-about-six-weeks-after-fracturing-hip-in-belgium-crash/ |
HFD District 28 Chief Bob Schlieter (far left) advises a captain where he wants a line stretched at a 2-11 fire involving 16 occupied apartments at South Gessner & Gustine about 4:30 AM. Eleven engines, five trucks, two rescue squads, and support units were called in to battle the blaze which was contained in about an hour.
HFD Engine 83 was first-in and is shown pumping on hose lines at a large, two-story house fire where a woman died about 10 AM. The rare blaze inside the gated Royal Oaks subdivision in west Houston was on English Rose Street a block west of Wilcrest and a block south of Richmond. The cause of the fatal fire is still being investigated.
A young adult male perched himself with his legs hanging over an exterior wall on the roof of a 10-story parking garage in Downtown Houston about 7:30 AM. Police and Fire Department units responded to the incident at Crawford and Walker. HFD's Heavy Rescue 11 and Rescue 42 both deployed into the structure, but a police officer whose head only can be seen at the base of the roof lights to the right of the man talked to the individual for more than a half hour before the man decided to turn himself in to police without injury.
HFD Senior Captain Russ McAfee of far-west-side Station 75 politely advises a resident it is still too early to return to her apartment as the entire attic of her building is ablaze about 3:30 AM at Hayes Road and Olympia. The fire displaced 16 families and required 2 alarms plus additional 2 engines and a ladder truck. Three ladder pipes knocked much of the fire down quickly though.
HFD crews working under divisional command of District 21 Chief Richard Cole get the upper hand on a fast-spreading blaze at an occupied apartment complex on Reims Road near Harwin in southwest Houston about 6 PM. The 1-11 blaze brought out 5 engines, 4 trucks, 3 district chiefs, and numerous support units. Approximately ten families were displaced into heat index temperatures above the century mark.
Firefighter Kevin Mathison of HFD's Heavy Rescue 11 descends with a Stokes basket carrying an injured worker from a high-rise construction site crane at Post Oak Blvd. and Garretson in the congested Galleria area about 5:30 PM. The worker's injuries were non-life-threatening. Tower 6's crew, in the background of this photo, raised its platform to expedite rescue equipment and personnel deployment onto the crane as its platform could not reach the man at the top. Rush hour traffic on the busy boulevard was snarled for more than an hour.
Southwest Houston fire crews had a busy wee hours on the morning of July 24 with four working structure fires in less than four hours in the quadrant after midnight following an especially intense lightning storm. This single-story residence at Oboe and McDermed was the last of the four fires destroying most of the home about 3:30 AM. Investigators were called out to determine its specific cause; it was only a few blocks from where another house burned two hours earlier.
HFD Engine 18's crew awaits water while preparing to attack a vacant motel fire on the Gulf Fwy (I-45 South) near Cullen, just east of Downtown about 5:30 PM. The blaze spread rapidly, and 3 alarms had to be summoned to contain the fire to the 24-unit building of origin. This crew was among those that kept the fire from spreading to the south across a breezeway connecting the burning building to the former motel's main building.
HFD was called out for an apartment fire in a dead-end complex off Locke Lane at Locke Lee Lane in west Houston during a driving rain storm about 5:45 AM. A smoky, stubborn blaze had to be tracked down in a narrow attic space, so a second alarm was pulled to get more manpower on the way even though most of those units were turned around. Two apartments were damaged as was a large segment of breezeway ceiling.
HFD District 6 Chief Wallace Page commands the "C" Division of a fire that fully engulfed two structures and damaged two others, including the one in this photo, shortly before 3 AM. Engine 7 was sent to check a hang-up call at Anita and Live Oak, arriving minutes later to find a single-story house and a two-story apartment building under renovation fully engulfed. A full first-alarm was already on its way, but three additional engines had to be called in to contain fire that spread into this occupied apartment building shown on Rosalie Street behind the original fire buildings. A fourth exposed house was damaged when a wall of the structure under renovation collapsed onto it.
Crews from HFD Station 28 prepare to suppress a fully-involved cab and engine fire on an 18-wheel gravel truck about 5:45 AM. Ladder 28 and an HFD EMS unit protect two lanes of traffic for the firefighters working on the West Loop 610 near San Felipe just as rush hour commences on the busiest section of freeway in Texas. HFD policy provides for two suppression rigs to respond to freeway incidents with one expected to protect the other from oncoming traffic.
HFD crews battle a stubborn blaze at the Heights Presbyterian Church on the corner of West 18th and Rutland about 12:30 PM (exactly 24 hours after a 5-alarm conflagration destroyed nearly 400 apartments under construction only three miles away). Crews operated inside the second floor of the church's classroom building for about a half-hour amid high heat and heavy smoke before flames broke through the roof. Fire damage was confined to the classrooms shown with the adjoining sanctuary and chapel escaping all but smoke damage. The fire required two alarms and two additional engines to suppress. Two ladder pipes were used as well as multiple hand lines.
HFD Tower 6's crew prepares supply hose for its dual-nozzle tower operation at this fire that went to 5-alarms about 12:30 PM at the corner of West Dallas and Montrose just west of Downtown. Witnesses said the blaze appeared to start on the roof or top floor of the northernmost 5-story building in the nearly-400-unit complex and was quickly fanned by a brisk northeast wind that evolved into a small fire storm pushing flames to the other buildings. One construction worker barely escaped flames lapping at him on an unfenced fourth floor patio as he managed to jump successfully to the unfenced patio below, quite an acrobatic achievement that certainly saved his life. From the third floor he was rescued by an HFD ladder truck. All buildings in the complex were burned, but more than 7 ladder pipes kept the conflagration from jumping to a townhome complex across West Dallas.
The resident of this fully-engulfed house on Seabrook near Spring Hill in Houston's South Union section perished in the blaze about 8:30 AM. The fire was reported with he possibility that a person was trapped as neighbors said the resident was virtually assured to be at home if his truck (in photo) was in the driveway. HFD crews attempted to enter to search for the resident but had to resort to defensive tactics early as the home quickly became an inferno.
Only two hours after an arctic cold front blew into town, HFD was called out to do battle with fire in a vacant apartment complex fueled by a strong north wind that spread flames throughout six buildings along Interstate 45 North near Tidwell about 7:30 PM. There have been several fires over recent years in the complex, but this blaze trumped them all. Traffic was snarled along the freeway for hours.
HFD crews battle a stubborn blaze in an old two-story house attached to a modern commercial building and both occupied by an Asian bakery company. The one-alarm fire required two additional calls for help bringing a total of 8 engines, 3 trucks, a rescue squad, and numerous support units to the scene near Downtown at Dallas and Chartres about 1:30 AM.
An engine crew stretches another hand line off of Engine 8 to protect exposed apartments near a burning block-long warehouse just after midnight. The 3-11 fire at Polk and Palmer was fought on two fronts: the C side shown here on Dallas Street and the A side on Polk. Master streams from Tower 6 and Ladder 7 knocked down most of the fire within about 30 minutes.
Although there was a near-multiple-alarm two weeks ago, HFD's first official 2-11 call for 2014 went out just after 3 AM (a very late start for the year) for a fast-spreading apartment fire on Richmond Avenue near Yorktown in the busiest district for multiples in the city, District 28. The photo shows the fire at its height spreading through a common attic, but firefighters quickly contained the blaze to an area over about ten apartment units. Dozens of residents were evacuated from their units by an HPD unit on scene moments before fire units arrived. | 2019-04-22T08:54:27 | http://ghfb.org/photos2014.asp |
The top Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is calling for a federal probe into a $300 million contract given to the Montana-based Whitefish Energy firm to help repair Puerto Rico’s smashed electricity grid.
“Today I am calling on the Government Accountability Office to investigate the circumstances surrounding the multi-million dollar contract awarded to Whitefish Energy — a brand new company with two employees,” said Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state on Tuesday.
Cantwell’s committee has direct oversight over the Interior Department. There is some suspicion that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke may have had a hand in the company winning the contract because it is based in his hometown.
Zinke said he had nothing to do with the contract being awarded by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.
The GAO is a federal watchdog agency that looks into concerns when requested to do so by members of Congress. Cantwell’s request is the first concrete step that lawmakers have said they would take to investigate the contract award after it was reported late Monday.
Senior members from both parties on the House Natural Resources Committee said Tuesday that they are looking into the matter, as well.
Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop, R-Utah, also will be looking into the contract, his office said. | 2019-04-24T06:21:10 | https://nedispensaries.com/maria-cantwell-asks-gao-to-investigate-montana-firms-300-million-contract-to-fix-puerto-ricos-grid-washington-examiner/ |

There is clearly not just one clear pathway to fitness. Every person and athlete requires a regime tailored to their needs, and every person has their own preferences and superstitions when participating in physical activities. Some people fervently champion how wearing certain clothing or completing a routine in a specific order can make all the difference; while there may not be a vast collection of scientific evidence substantiating why this works, it can’t be denied that the fitness output of individuals can be changed with the introduction of activities borne from superstition.
While it doesn’t matter if a training top is emblazoned with a particular brand or not, some people will swear to the importance of wearing a certain item of clothing when performing physical activities. Whether it is a lucky top that is believed to improve speed or endurance, or a special pair of footwear that were worn when completing a personal best, many believe that performance can be affected by clothing.
While there may be no scientific correlation, much of improving fitness is based on mentality; expert Carrie Cheadle affirmed to the Huffington Post that fitness performance is 50% physical and 50% mental. If a person can be in the right head space because they feel comfortable in a particular piece of clothing, then nobody can dispute the importance of that superstition.
All athletes have their own personalized plan for preparing for sporting events. Many have fixed orders for putting on socks and shoes (in that they put both sock and shoe on the left foot first, not that they put their shoes on before their socks), and others have determined routines for pre-match meals and music. An important question is where do habits end and superstitions begin. Breaking Muscle have considered the relationship between the two, concluding that superstition is the practice of giving special power and significance to habits.
Some superstitions may be as conscious as having to listen to ‘Get Lucky’ by Daft Punk when preparing for an event, while others may have become embedded in our lifestyle without realizing. For example, you may always complete elements of a fitness routine in a fixed order or you may always wear a specific piece of clothing. Tiger Woods always wears a red shirt when playing final rounds, claiming his mom told him it is his power color. That’s why you should always listen to your mom.
Numbers play a huge part in superstitions, from how many times to complete a certain activity to the best time of day to complete a task. Professional athletes cite superstitions featuring numbers as components to their success. For example, Serena Williams bounces the ball five times before every first serve, and that hasn’t exactly worked out too badly for her on her way to winning 23 Grand Slam titles.
23 is seen as something of a mysterious number; Betway Casino’s exploration of the significance of different numbers across the world details how many tragic events have been linked to the number 23. Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times and the Titanic sunk on 4/15/1912 (4+1+5+1+9+1+2=23). If you’re a fan of Julius Caesar you might be wary of the number 23, while fans of Serena may look upon it more favorably. This emphasizes the personal nature of superstitions: every person will have different routines that work for them.
Serena’s methods work for her, with the development of a routine giving sportspeople a sense of confidence and familiarity. In the world of sport, there is a range of uncontrollable factors. You can’t control how your opponents perform and you can’t control the weather – at least, not yet. Stuart Vyse told WebMD how superstitions develop out of a need to introduce some element of control in uncertain situations. Repetition is an important part of all fitness activities and finding a routine that works can relax individuals and enhance performance.
In 2014, a YouGov poll determined that 13% of Americans (unlucky for some) admitted to having superstitions, but many people may have acts that could be considered superstitious that have become so ingrained in their lifestyle that they no longer realize. For example, 35% of Americans claim in the same poll that they would pick up a penny in the hope of earning extra luck. Not seeing the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding is another superstitious tradition that has become accepted as good practice.
While few people may wholeheartedly argue that picking up a penny is likely to have massive consequences other than making you a penny richer, the impact of superstition in sport and fitness cannot be understated. Through creating familiar routines and relaxing the mind, superstitions can train people to become conditioned to success. If they are good enough for Serena Williams, then not even the most cynical of commentators can argue. | 2019-04-20T18:20:36 | https://girltalkhq.com/can-superstitions-make-a-difference-in-sports-results-fitness-just-ask-the-numbers/ |
There are currently no tv and movies women available.
The entertainment and culture of modern American culture has strong roots in television and movie; and it’s not hard to understand why. After a long day at work, what woman wouldn’t want to sit back with a bowl full of snacks and escape into a fantasy land inhabited by their favorite characters? Movies and television bring to life our favorite characters and keep our emotions swinging whether we are perched on the edge of our seats in anticipation, wiping away a tear, or laughing so hard we’ve fallen out of the chair. With a wide variety of genres including comedy, drama, action, science fiction, variety shows, reality shows and more, there is sure to be a TV or movie costume for women that will be a “must-see” and “must-wear” on your lineup.
Retro TV has inspired many womens costumes based on the campy, kitschy and crazy characters such as the well-meaning but pesky Jeannie from “I Dream of Jeannie” and the dark yet delightful Morticia from “The Addams” family. Cartoon and superhero characters that will make you feel nostalgic are Jane and Judy Jetson, Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble, and Batgirl, Supergirl and the iconic Wonder Woman. The long-running comedy show, Saturday Night Live, has plenty of humorous characters for women to parody including a Spartan cheerleader, Mary Katherine Gallagher, a conehead, Rosanna Danna and more. If you’re a movie buff, then you’ll give an award-winning performance as Princess Leia from “Star Wars”, the bride from “Kill Bill” or a character from the “Rocky Horror Picture Show”. | 2019-04-21T22:47:58 | http://costumeexplorer.com/costume/women/tv-and-movies-women |
Passengers on an ICE travelling from Berlin to Saarbrücken were shocked after windows were shattered by what they believe were bullets.
Police are investigating after windows on the ICE high-speed train were shattered during the journey from the German capital to Saarbrücken in Saarland.
Some passengers said that they believed the train had been shot at by a weapon. This passenger's photos posted on Twitter show the damage to the windows.
No-one was injured in the incident which happened around 10.50pm on Thursday near the city of Ladenburg near Mannheim in Baden-Württemberg.
Another passenger said that it looked like four shots had caused damage.
According to the police in Karlsruhe, there was damage to doors, windows and the outside of the train. The 150 passengers aboard were taken off the train at Mannheim. They were advised they could travel on other trains or be accommodated in hotels for the night.
Police said no objects had entered the interior of the train, only damaging the outside.
Baden-Württemberg police said officers were investigating for "dangerous interference with rail traffic" and have urged any witnesses to come forward.
The train has been sealed off and is currently in Frankfurt. Special police and rail investigators are probing the incident to establish what happened. | 2019-04-21T09:22:36 | https://www.thelocal.de/20190412/police-probe-suspected-attack-on-high-speed-ice-train |

Part of it stems from the fact that you have a misconception about who the recruiter works for. Most people think that recruiters work for them; it doesn't work that way.
If the will, how much you paying for that service? And you think you're working for you?
The fact of the matter is that recruiters are hired by organizations to fill jobs. If you fit the requirement do you think you're going to get on the phone and call companies and say, "hi! I've got this great candidate! You've really got to talk with them! They are terrific! Best person I've ever spoken with! Sorry, you don't need someone like that?"
It doesn't work that way. Recruiters work with organization that defined a need for a person with a certain kind of background and go out and find. They are paid for that service. To do that they need to find someone like you.
I say like you because it may not be you. It may involve someone with a different set of skills. Even if you have the same skills as the firm is looking for, do you think they're only sending in one person? Of course not!
They are not relying upon placing you and you don't fit. What they care about is referring someone… Anyone… Will satisfy the client and being hired by, then work 90 calendar days and receive a check from the company.
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter points out the biggest mistake job hunters make when they think about working with recruiters.
Today, I want talk with you about your expectations of working with a recruiter and point out to you that they may be out of whack.
Most people have the mistaken notion that a recruiter works for them. That is the job hunter you're in charge and the recruiter is working for you. That’s partially right. To understand who are recruiter works for, ask yourself how much are you paying them? Seriously, how much you paying them? Nothing. Who's paying the recruiter? The employer. Do you think a recruiter is going to go out once they have your resume and knock on thousands of doors until they find a job for you?
No. That's a working for you really means. It means that they are out there trying to find a job for you; in point of fact, since employers are paying recruiters, they’re working for the employer and what they're trying to do more often than not is finesse you into the square box that the employer has defined in terms of job, in terms of compensation, in terms of role and responsibilities . . . Every step along the line. If you don't fit that box, you're not on their radar screen.
When they get a job, when they find the job the fits you, have no fear period They will get back in touch. But understand, they are not working for you. They’re really working for the employer.
Now, I also don’t want to ignore the fact that, ultimately, they have to listen to you and work with your constructs and your needs, wants and desires in order to fill a position. But, if you think your number one, in their book, you are very confused because, ultimately, as is in your life, the person who pays you is the one to whom the loyalty exists.
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter. Discusses a more effective way of doing campus recruiting.
This one's involved with college recruiting.
Most of you at this point have a pretty predictable routine with doing campus recruiting and, frankly, doesn't it stink. You stand there. Get some resumes. You talk to the kids, you bring them in later on. People interview them. You know the routine.
Have you considered before you have the day that it be a purposeful day? That you arrange for the University to do testing of the graduates or the potential employees as a way of determining whether or not they know anything?
Let's assume that they know very little but what are your expectations for what these kids know when they graduate? How could you test those people before you even shake their hands in order to determine whether or not they're qualified? Now, some of you will say, "well, no one will show up."
Well, that's a criteria that you can use for evaluating. If they're hungry enough to show up, aren't you more interested than if they don't give a darn. Of course, you' are.
A lot of the kids out there are being coddled and you don't want to hire babies. You can get them a year or two later after someone else's broken them in and focus on the ones that are prepared to drive hard and dive hard into challenges. That's who you really want. You don't want the ones who are really disguised infants. Those people may be very qualified but not on the personality side, not on the temperament side, not in terms of the effort that they're willing to expend side. You want to get them after they have that. | 2019-04-23T08:57:39 | https://thebiggamehunter.us/tag/recruiter/page/11/ |

Ford UK announced that the 2008 Focus ST will officially go on sale from May 1. Created by the performance vehicle division TeamRS the new ST is powered by the 2.5-liter engine which delivers 225 hp and is capable to sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds while the top speed is limited to 240 km/h.
Ford added three levels of equipping: The ST comes with 18” wheels, Recaro sport buckets, unique sport steering wheel, with the new „Ford Power” starter button and Easyfuel capless refuelling system. The ST-2 has also a Sony audio system, bi-xenon lights, LED rear lights and Quickclear heated windscreen while the ST-3 includes a full leather trim plus an in-dash six CD player. For all the ST fans, the vehicle also set a segment-leading record of 8min 35sec at the Nurburgring race track.
Fast, fun and fabulously good looking, a new version of Ford’s the performance flagship Focus goes on sale at dealerships across Great Britain from May 1. Created by Ford TeamRS, the company’s dedicated performance vehicle arm, the 2008 Focus ST benefits from the new exterior and interior styling changes introduced across the rest of the Focus line-up earlier this year. Importantly though, while offering new technologies and features, the car’s well-honed dynamics remain untouched.
At the heart of the matter is the familiar 225 PS, 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder Duratec engine. Powerful, and accompanied by a suitably sporty soundtrack, this powerhouse delivers a potential 150mph top speed in tandem with 0-62mph acceleration in just 6.8 seconds.
Indeed, as a measure of this car’s ability, a standard production Focus ST set a segment-leading record time of 8 minutes 35 seconds around the Nordschleife circuit at the famed Nürburgring.
This sort of achievement requires more than just brute power and the Focus ST remains one of the sharpest handling cars in its class. In fact, the ST may well be the definitive choice for enthusiastic drivers who also demand comfort around town and an array of subtle suspension enhancements ensures this is still the case.
A powerful braking system is top of this list while Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Traction Control are now standard on all versions.
The Focus ST has always provided lots of choice and the range retains its simple ST, ST-2 and ST-3 trim grades and three or five-door hatchback bodystyles. It is priced from £18,250 - £20,850.
Every Focus ST boasts 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, sports styling, body-hugging Recaro sports seats, a unique sports steering wheel and upgraded instrumentation. New to this generation of ST are the ’Ford Power’ starter button and Easyfuel capless refuelling system. Upgrading to ST-2 adds a Sony audio system, bi-xenon lights, LED rear lights and Quickclear heated windscreen while the ST-3 includes an in-dash six CD player plus full leather trim.
In common with other members of the 2008 Focus family, a range of high-tech options can be specified. Among the list is a Tyre Deflation Detection System, a new audio connectivity module for external devices like Bluetooth, voice control and navigation systems plus various infotainment options including an affordable sat nav system with SD card slot.
Combining bold looks with a thrilling driving experience and numerous new features, Ford’s new and improved Focus ST is the definitive hot hatch.

Metformin Increases Proliferative Activity and Viability of Multipotent Stromal Stem Cells Isolated from Adipose Tissue Derived from Horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome. Smieszek A, Kornicka K, Szłapka-Kosarzewska J, Androvic P, Valihrach L, Langerova L, Rohlova E, Kubista M, Marycz K. Cells. 2019; 8(2):80.
In this study, we investigated the influence of metformin (MF) on proliferation and viability of adipose-derived stromal cells isolated from horses (EqASCs). We determined the effect of metformin on cell metabolism in terms of mitochondrial metabolism and oxidative status. Our purpose was to evaluate the metformin effect on cells derived from healthy horses (EqASCHE) and individuals affected by equine metabolic syndrome (EqASCEMS). The cells were treated with 0.5 μM MF for 72 h. The proliferative activity was evaluated based on the measurement of BrdU incorporation during DNA synthesis, as well as population doubling time rate (PDT) and distribution of EqASCs in the cell cycle. The influence of metformin on EqASC viability was determined in relation to apoptosis profile, mitochondrial membrane potential, oxidative stress markers and BAX/BCL-2 mRNA ratio. Further, we were interested in possibility of metformin affecting the Wnt3a signalling pathway and, thus, we determined mRNA and protein level of WNT3A and β-catenin. Finally, using a two-tailed RT-qPCR method, we investigated the expression of miR-16-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-29a-3p, miR-140-3p and miR-145-5p. Obtained results indicate pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects of metformin on EqASCs. In this study, MF significantly improved proliferation of EqASCs, which manifested in increased synthesis of DNA and lowered PDT value. Additionally, metformin improved metabolism and viability of cells, which correlated with higher mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced apoptosis and increased WNT3A/β-catenin expression. Metformin modulates the miRNA expression differently in EqASCHE and EqASCEMS. Metformin may be used as a preconditioning agent which stimulates proliferative activity and viability of EqASCs. | 2019-04-18T14:37:49 | https://www.labgenexp.eu/news/new-publication-in-cells |

The Joint Rail Data Action Plan aims to remove barriers to information-sharing between train operating companies and tech companies, allowing app developers to provide better mobile services for passengers.
Apps such as Trainline and Citymapper are transforming how real-time journey information is assimilated. Credit: Network Rail.
Ask passengers what would be at the top of their wish list of improvements to UK rail services and chances are the majority would choose reliable and frequent services, closely followed by more timely and efficient delivery of information on services, delays, cancellations and on-board facilities.
Service disruptions and delays remain a perennial bugbear for commuters – figures published last week by industry watchdog the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) reveal that 14% of trains missed the industry measure of punctuality in the twelve months to August, the highest level of delays since 2006.
That includes working with the government to ensure that train operating companies (TOCs) publish more real-time data, allowing tech firms to improve mobile journey-planning apps, as well using that information to plan more effectively and predict issues before they arise, improving rail reliability.
RDG chief executive Paul Plummer said the rail industry wants to “produce cutting-edge products and services” that can be exported around the world.
“Digital technology in rail already means more timely information and less time spent waiting, helping to put customers in charge and as part of the rail industry’s plan to change and improve, we want to use technology to give customers more and more control,” he added.
In 2017, 1.7 billion passengers travelled by rail in the UK. Demand has doubled since the mid-90s and is projected to increase by another 15% by 2024, yet the government admits that the complex nature of the railway means the industry is often slow to deliver innovation compared with other sectors.
The Joint Rail Data Action Plan, published in August by the RDG and the Department for Transport (DfT), aims to remove barriers to information-sharing between TOCs and innovative tech companies.
Central to this is improving clarity over what data is commercially sensitive and what data can be used, and improving standardisation of how data is sourced, stored and released.
These datasets can then be used to inform a new generation of intelligent apps, with information made available on individual carriages on each train, allowing operators to accurately communicate information about on-board facilities and empowering passengers to make more informed decisions about their rail journeys.
The Joint Rail Data Action Plan is the latest stage in a journey that began in 2012 with Network Rail’s Open Data system, which unlocked access to operating data feeds, including train positioning and train scheduling, across the network. RDG launched its own Open Data portal three years later, which was followed by the National Rail information database, otherwise known as Darwin.
Darwin provides real-time arrival and departure predictions, platform numbers, delay estimates, schedule changes and cancellations, feeding directly from every TOC customer information system (CIS) and combining it with train location data provided by Network Rail.
Information from Darwin and its contemporaries is used by numerous digital apps to provide richer levels of data to rail customers on everything from delays and cancellations, to fares and timetables.
By making more information available through self-sign up portals, RDG and Network Rail hope to increase opportunities for third-parties such as start-ups and entrepreneurs to enter the market and develop new fares, ticketing services and products for passengers.
Access to more rail data has led to the emergence of free-to-download digital apps such as Trainline and Citymapper, which are transforming how real-time journey information is made available to and assimilated by users of public transport.
Citymapper has live information for rail, tube and bus and intelligent route planning, and is free on Android, iOS or on the web, as is Trainline, which helps travellers find and book cheap rail fares.
To this end, over the next twelve months, RDG will make available GPS train data to accurately monitor train movement; real-time train-centric data on train compositions, seat availability and the status of on-board services; granular disruption data on train delays, cancellations and service alterations; and better information on station facilities.
Overseen by an industry-led taskforce, the Action Plan aims to not only improve passenger access to information via new mobile devices developed by tech start-ups and SMEs, but also to encourage Network Rail and TOCs to use datasets to inform asset and infrastructure monitoring.
It is also aimed at opening up the market to those who want to collaborate with the industry on future products tailored to train maintenance and service operations.
The plan’s emphasis on improving services using digital technology informed by more comprehensive industry data extends to the Rail Data Challenge, an innovation event organised in collaboration with Network Rail and the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB).
The scheme invites innovators, developers and tech experts to develop new technologies that “address three current rail challenges using new and existing datasets”. The eventual winners will be able to pitch for funding from industry and private investors to demonstrate their solution.
RDG’s twelve-month data roll-out has begun in the autumn with the release of its ‘Darwin4Trains’ service, a train-centric version of the Darwin feed that provides information to customers on-board a train.
“The RDG and its members are committing to the delivery of a better experience for all customers, and to have a railway which has the customer at the heart of every interaction,” said RDG director Jaqueline Starr. | 2019-04-20T06:17:10 | https://www.railway-technology.com/features/rail-apps-citymapper-trainline-joint-data-action-plan/ |

Home » News » Facebook secretly sharing your data to Apple, Amazon and Microsoft?
Facebook, perhaps the most popular social media internet site, is again under the red eye of customers for purportedly dripping their information to companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, as well as Yahoo. The record came from New York Times and stated that Facebook has been sharing data like usernames, contact details, usernames of good friends, likes, etc. without the approval of the customer.
Visitors may be asking yourself why Facebook would do this without any advantage. However the fact is that Facebook is profiting mostly from it. They would have a lot more website traffic on their site, their customer base would raise and also the advertisements they get from their marketers would also expand in number. All this suggests an increase in revenue for Facebook. They might even market the information for financial returns from 3rd parties.
This is not the first time Facebook has actually been accused of selling its users’ data to 3rd parties. In April, the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg needed to encounter the Congressional hearing relating to numerous claims made by studies as well as studies on Facebook. Nonetheless, Mark rejected the claims entirely, saying “We do not market information to any individual”. Whether that holds true, users, regulators, as well as media have actually taken it out on Facebook concerning privacy violations.
Altogether, Facebook has actually turned into one of the biggest marketplaces for data on the web and the users do not also find out about it. Breaking out social media accounts, online search engine and also applications are simply ‘information losses in disguise’. All of the data that these web sites, applications, and systems accumulate are being utilized to set a target audience and also obtain advertisements.
In April, the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg had to face the Legislative hearing concerning several claims made by researches and surveys on Facebook. Whether or not that is true, users, regulatory authorities, and also media have taken it out on Facebook pertaining to personal privacy breaches.
Completely, Facebook has actually ended up being one of the largest industries for information on the internet and the customers do not also recognize concerning it. | 2019-04-25T06:39:31 | https://rippled.info/news/facebook-secretly-sharing-your-data-to-apple-amazon-and-microsoft/210/ |

On damp winds they’re blown in, the thunder of their blades as they slice through the air echoing over golden fields. Stalwart defenders of the nation, here they’re far from war torn lands: no bombs or bullets to lay them low, only nature’s unpredictable buffets to keep them humble.
This afternoon I was down at the wildflower meadow with my notepad and my camera when two Chinook helicopters from a local RAF airbase began circling overhead. I quickly snapped a few shots of them as they passed over, thinking they’d soon be gone, only to realise that they were actually landing at the small airfield on the outskirts of the village. Now, that is not something that normally happens! I hurriedly made my way over.
Unfortunately, I didn’t actually manage to make it quite all the way to the airfield before they were taking off again, but I did manage to find a position where I could get a few decent pictures before they left. Luckily, several other villagers had also been out and about and one of them had managed to speak to one of the pilots. It seems that a bird had collided with the windscreen of one of the helicopters, forcing it to land.
I hadn’t actually planned to post today as I’m still in the middle of CampNano – meaning I’ve been busy editing and lengthening the flash fictions I’m planning to publish as compilations on Amazon. The other photographs and poems I’ve been posting lately have all ready to go since June! Another of those will probably be posted in a few days time.
This post is for Jacqueline’s Echoes of my Neighbourhood challenge.
excellent Louise and all the best on Amazon!!!!
Thanks, Cybele. 🙂 From what I’ve seen helping my mum out with her books on Amazon, it’s the promotion that’s the hard part!
Very cool, those Chinooks are pretty noisy aren’t they?
I’ll probably put up a post about my compilation when it’s ready to go, though that may still be a while off. I haven’t even thought about the cover art yet!
Great photos! I bet that was something to see!
Thanks, PJ. 🙂 They were very impressive. I just wish I could have got a little closer before they took off again!
Such cool photos! Good luck!
Thank you, Antonia. 🙂 I’m glad you like them. They were a very unexpected sight! | 2019-04-19T01:01:00 | https://thestorytellersabode.com/2016/07/15/echoes-of-my-neighbourhood-chinooks/ |

Preserving meat … sounds like something that could go badly, botulism-riddled wrong, doesn’t it?
Charcuterie is a a slightly daunting area, and it isn’t an undertaking to be taken lightly. I’m nowhere near ready to cure and air-dry a whole leg of pork, or equipped to maintain the specific temperature or level of humidity suitable for curing salami or pepperoni.
There are no dangerously modified fridges around here.
There’s a halfway house, though … there are plenty of charcuterie recipes that you can make that aren’t quite as temperamental as some of the more artisan air-dried produce. The air drying process starts with something raw, and ends, after curing and drying, with something that you can eat without having to cook it any further, something that’s properly preserved and that will keep for months.
The halfway house involves curing the meat, then cooking it in some way. Bacon is a perfect example of this method – cured meat that has a definite shelf life, and obviously needs cooking, until it’s crisp, please.
Here’s an easy introduction to this particular brand of pseudo charcuterie called tasso ham. It’s a Cajun delicacy, pork shoulder steaks cured quickly, smothered in big seasonings, then smoked until cooked, all achievable with kit that lives in the average shed.
Tasso ham needs one slightly unusual ingredient, but it’s an important one – pink salt, or Prague powder #1, or Instacure #1, or whatever it’s called these days. It’s essentially sodium nitrite, a chemical that, when mixed with salt, forms a basic curing mix. There’s more about the vital difference between sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate here. If you’re not sure, look for a ready-mixed basic curing mix.
To make a basic curing mixture by mixing 450g of salt, 225g of sugar and 50g of pink salt together. That’s it.
Use the curing mix to cure about 2kg of pork shoulder steaks, big, chunky steaks, if they’re available – the chunkier the better. Pour the curing mix into a large shallow bowl, and press the pork into the salt, dredging the top until it’s completely covered. Transfer the pieces of pork to another dish, laying them in a single layer, and sprinkle over the rest of the curing mix.
Refrigerate the pork, and after four hours, rinse it clean under a running tap. It isn’t a long cure, but it’s important. The cure keeps the meat pink, flavours it, preserves it, and turns it into ham.
So, pork shoulder, cured and covered in some quite powerful flavours. It just needs cooking, now.
This is barbecue territory. It’s possible to hot smoke food in many ways, but the easiest and most accessible way is just to use a normal covered barbecue.
Set a small fire at one side of the barbecue, near to one of the air vents in the base, and let the charcoal burn down until it’s covered in grey ash. Throw a couple of big handfuls of wood chips onto the coals, set the meat on the racks at the other side of the barbecue and put the lid on. The wood chips will smoke furiously, and the barbecue will quickly fill with light grey, sweet-smelling smoke.
The type of wood makes a difference – I used chips of apple wood I found on the Internet for a couple of quid, and they provided a light, clean taste with a tinge of acidity to it.
The meat is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 65c, or 150f. Use a meat thermometer to check. It’s hard to say how long this will take, but keep the fire tended by adding more wood chips until the meat gets up to temperature.
Tasso ham is never eaten on its own. Instead, it’s a vital ingredient in things like jambalaya, or gumbo, adding a powerful injection of flavour and heat into the dish. It’s also very good finely diced and fried with potatoes, served with a fried egg on top.
The ham will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge, or a couple of months in the freezer.
from the searching I have done online I get the impression that the difference between Prague powders 1 and 2 is the presence of potassium nitrate in the latter. In any case, this sounds terrific. will have to give it a go.
I am a big fan of your website btw. thanks. | 2019-04-20T22:17:35 | https://www.them-apples.co.uk/2013/10/tasso-ham/ |
While somewhat new to the market, Nectar has actually very quickly turned into one of the bestselling on-line mattresses due to its economical rates together with distinct features. By doing away with the middleman, salespersons, as well as retailers, Nectar is able to offer high good quality mattresses at low costs.
The Nectar mattress is an 11-inch thick all foam mattress including numerous memory foam layers plus a soft top layer. Having a weight of 84 pounds, it is thicker and also much heavier than a lot of its competitors. The medium firm mattress is made for front, back, or side sleepers and deals with all types of bases, including box springs, divan bases, conventional frames, flexible bases, as well as platforms.
The Nectar mattress is made from premium fabrics and layers for contour, proper support, and comfort. It consists of a gel-infused quilted memory foam layer, a dense foam core, and also a cool breathable upper gel surface area. The Tencel cooling cover assists to distribute air as well as wick away heat as well as moisture. Memory foam is quilted right into the cover to provide it a soft as well as bouncy feel. Extra gel memory foam layers contour to your body, distribute your weight, and also maintain you from getting too hot. Adaptive memory foam gives rebound as well as bounce, and also a breathable base layer enhances the other layers and also gives a stable base. The Nectar mattress, which comes in one firmness choice, offers right spine positioning, making it an excellent solution for lots of people with back problems.
Certipur-US Certified, the Nectar mattress is made without ozone depleters, unhealthy chemicals as well as gasses, PBDE flame retardants, TDCPPs, heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates, or volatile organic compounds. The cover, which is without a doubt resistant to bedbugs as well as dust mites, can be spot cleaned with a gentle detergent and also will certainly be replaced by the firm at no charge.
One of the greatest benefits of the Nectar mattress is its competitively priced as well as budget friendly rate. With Nectar, you will obtain a premium mattress at a wholesale cost.
Unlike most of its rivals, the Nectar mattress is Chinese-made. The firm has been given bad press for shipping delays and also bad customer support. The delivery delays have been attributed to the unexpected interest in of the mattress, which resulted in a preliminary void in supply as well as need that has since been straightened out.
Contrasting the Nectar mattress to the Purple mattress, one of its rivals, there are some distinctions and similarities. While both brands are manufactured to offer pressure relief as well as support at a cost effective price, they are made from different types of fabrics and have feel different.
While the Nectar mattress’s memory foam layers give it the sensation of a traditional memory foam mattress, the Purple mattress’s proprietary gel grid has a springier, stronger as well as a lot more responsive feeling. The Nectar mattress is softer; while the Purple mattress is firmer.
Nectar mattresses are 11 inches thick and also have 5 layers, while Purple mattresses are 9.5 inches thick and are composed of 3 layers, a 2-inch purple smart comfort grid made from hyper-elastic polymer, a 3.5-inch layer of plush comfort foam, and a 4-inch layer of polyfoam. The covers are similar, although the Nectar mattress’s cover has memory foam quilted into it.
If you are selecting between both, the Nectar mattress is possibly the very best selection if you are a side sleeper, if you like the feeling of memory foam, or if you choose a softer mattress. It is also better with motion isolation, pressure relief, and is less costly. If you are a back or stomach sleeper or choose a harder mattress, the Purple mattress might be the much better option. | 2019-04-19T16:52:03 | https://www.sbhcc.org/best-visco-memory-foam-mattress-topper-nectar-mattress/ |

The Taliban Invade the Rose Parade……….
Woke up early, too early today on this very cold first morning of 2015. Watched the Rose Parade in Pasadena (on TV from the Northwest of course). Getting ready to watch the Ducks beat the WTF they’re called in Florida State (maybe the Seminoles that they killed off?). One nice float had a Sikh motif, with a bunch of Sikh people on it. Sikhs of India, and maybe elsewhere, wear turbans, sort of like some of us Muslims. Sort of like the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I switched quickly to Fox News, expecting one of their Five, or is it Six, geniuses complain about the Taliban or other Muslim terrorists taking over the Rose Parade. | 2019-04-21T07:02:20 | http://arabiadeserta.com/2015/01/the-taliban-invade-the-rose-parade/ |

THE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY FIRM, WESTWIND REAL ESTATE EXECUTIVE SEARCH, SAILS FROM ONE RECORD YEAR TO THE NEXT. WHAT IS THEIR KEY TO SUCCESS? IN THIS INTERVIEW, FOUNDER AND SOLE SHAREHOLDER MICHAEL HARTER TAKES A LOOK BACK AND CHARTS THE COMPANY’S COURSE FOR THE FUTURE.
Managing Partner Michael Harter looks back at twelve years of recruitment consulting for the real estate industry. In little more than a decade, he has built one of the industry’s most powerful consulting and research teams. After ten years as a project developer, Michael Harter, a banker, economic geographer/urban planner and real estate economist (ebs), switched to recruitment consulting for real estate professionals in 2007 and joined a boutique recruitment firm as a consultant. In order to more effectively serve the full range of clients for which he was responsible, he successively built up a team of ten recruitment professionals, which became Westwind Karriere in 2011. The company was originally founded as a joint venture between Harter (as majority shareholder) and one of the most renowned real estate recruitment consultancies in the Rhineland region. It was only when Harter acquired the remaining 49 percent stake in the company five years ago that Westwind set sail as a fully independent company with its own corporate branding. The company has charted a course from one success to another and regularly wins new mandates and fills positions in a few weeks that other companies have been unable to fill for months.
So, Mr Harter, how was 2018?
Another excellent year. For the fifth year in a row, we generated record revenues and, with 80 filled positions for property management executives and specialists, significantly exceeded 2017’s results. The current real estate boom and the persistently high demand for management and specialist professionals have prompted us to further expand our team of consultants and open a company branch in Hamburg, which has already been very successful. Westwind now has fifteen employees: five recruitment consultants, five researchers and four project assistants whose expertise reliably covers all segments, asset classes and regions of the German-speaking real estate industry.
How do you explain your company’s success story?
We are winning more and more mandates thanks to our methodical competence and our exceptional, in-depth market access, which allows us to identify and place specialists and executives where our established competitors have been unable to fulfil their clients’ research criteria. As the market for available candidates narrowed in 2018, we now need to approach and assess 200-300 civil engineers for some positions, where two years ago 100 were sufficient. Not every recruitment consultant makes this effort or is in a position to do so. That is why I am confident about Westwind’s future, even after the real estate boom has tailed off. With such a powerful team, we can remain sure of the future. This is precisely when we will continue to expand our market share while maintaining the same team size and increasing market penetration.
What makes a successful headhunter?
In our industry, the most successful recruitment consultants combine real estate expertise, interpersonal skills and communication proficiency with maximum commitment, a high degree of empathy and a dash of curiosity, directness and fearlessness.
What role do researchers play?
It is extremely important for recruitment consultants to be able to draw on the market penetration and creativity of their in-house research colleagues, who identify the ten most suitable candidates for a search from a hundred suitable and pre-selected managers and specialists. Of course, a consultant needs the right contacts, but even the most skilled consultant will run aground without a team of experienced, systematic researchers supporting them. Potential clients should always ask: How many researchers do you have in your team? And how many candidates do they approach for a placement?
What course have you charted for Westwind’s aims in 2019 and 2020?
We will continue to profit from the real estate boom and are optimally positioned for an increasing number of recruitment mandates. Our market share will continue to grow steadily. Even though we have only been sailing under our own flag for five years, our excellent track record allows us to clearly distinguish ourselves from many established recruitment consultancies on the market. However: we cannot afford to disappoint any of our business clients. We only do real estate – and the real estate industry is only so big. We don’t have a second industry we can turn to. That’s why we have to perform at our very best every time.
For the last twelve years, the Westwind Karriere team has been successfully filling challenging executive and specialist positions in the German-speaking real estate market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg). Westwind is a highly effective and reliable boutique recruitment consultancy that uses customised recruitment strategies to respond to different company requirements in order to find exactly the personality that best fits the search profile. Westwind’s clients include project developers, construction companies, institutional investors, family offices, banks, asset managers, property managers, CREM divisions and other companies active in the asset classes office, retail, residential, hotel, healthcare and logistics. | 2019-04-19T02:43:24 | https://www.reb.institute/en/adv/westwind-real-estate-executive-search-gmbh/ |
The Democrats...their mask having slipped, and finally exposed as 'Reds' [read: Communists]...are going full steam 'forward' toward 2020, and watching them dancing "ring around the rosie, pockets full of Socialist posies" in Congress makes one mindful of Edgar Allen Poe's 1842 classic about a pestilence that devastated a country, "The Masque of the Red Death."

Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar has vowed to take to Parliament the cause of the students denied their Public Service Department (JPA) scholarships because of government spending cuts.
"Education is the government's primary responsibility. I cannot accept the continuous cutting of education expenditure like this. I will fight this in Parliament," Nurul Izzah tweeted today.
This was part of a series of tweets the PKR vice-president has sent out on the reported suspension of JPA scholarships and Education Ministry bursary financing to top performing students.
"The 700 students affected are our future. The country needs them. Return the JPA scholarships to the students immediately, Najib (Abdul) Razak!" she continued, tagging the prime minister in another tweet.
Nurul Izzah said that cutting educational expenditures when facing financial problems caused by failures in management is "an irresponsible act", and urged the government to restore the scholarships and financial aid.
She pointed out that the amount of money required to pay for the education of the 700 or so students - whose ability to further their education are being affected by the cuts - is not that much if compared with what is being wasted elsewhere.
"If RM500,000 is needed for (each of the) 700 students, it’s only RM350 million. It is not much compared to government leakages. Return the funds. Where is the RM4 billion?" she tweeted further.
Her mention of the RM4 billion hinted at new allegations that more money has flowed into the PM's personal accounts than the RM2.6 billion that Najib previously admitted.
However, this has no direct bearing on the matter at hand.
Nurul Izzah stated that the country needed more thinkers and intellectuals, who can be groomed from the bright students who were supposed to be sponsored by the bursary.
"Return the funds to JPA, (and) to them (the students) immediately!" she tweeted.
Yesterday, Sin Chew Daily reported Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Wee Ka Siong confirming the slash in JPA scholarships, after raising the issue at the cabinet meeting yesterday following complaints he received from students.
Wee (photo) said he had asked the Najib to rethink and reinstate the scholarships, and that the PM had ordered the JPA and the chief secretary to the government to come up with an alternative to forgoing this year's disbursements.
The government decision has alarmed students due to receive JPA scholarships - many of whom will start their freshman year next month - as well as garnered brickbats from students, parents and netizens alike.
Faced with shrinking revenue with the Brent crude oil price having fallen to a 12-year low yesterday at US$27.78 a barrel, almost a quarter of what it was when oil prices reached a high of US$114.81 a barrel in 2014, the government has been struggling to balance its spending.
Najib has also announced that the Budget 2016 would be revised to adjust for falling revenue and see government expenditures optimised. The budget revision is due to be announced on Jan 28.
BARU BIAN: CM, WHAT IS YOUR REAL STAND? | 2019-04-25T12:09:07 | http://www.barubian.net/2016/01/nurul-izzah-to-fight-jpa-scholarship.html |
My early season hikes often take me to the south side of the Crags, so this time I parked near the "environmental" campground and headed up the western section of the Flume Trail.
Aside from the usual littering of downed trees and branches from the previous winter, the trail was very pleasant, although judicious concentration was required to avoid this year's crop of poison oak. I continued up to the Pacific Crest Trail, then turned left and walked west until I reached the saddle where the Flume Trail terminates, and followed it back down to Dump Creek and eventually the campground. Other than the very robust clumps of poison oak here and there, I did manage to time my hike during the peak (it seemed) of the Dogwood flowerings.
Another loop hike I like is to start at the Vista Point parking area and walk over to the beginning of the trail, then angle downhill to the right on the old road until I get to the Pacific Crest Trail. I turned right (east) and walked until I got to the Kettlebelly Trail and followed it around the hill and back down until it merged into the dirt service road at the crossing of the paved road up to the parking area. Noticed several piles of reasonably fresh bear poop along the trail.
I continued along the service road until there is a faint cat trail that takes off uphill to access the power line right-of-way. "Uphill" is the word to focus on along this section as you gain altitude very quickly. After reaching the power lines (and catching my breath) I continued cross-country straight uphill on surprisingly slippery pine needles until I reached the service road again near the junction of the Bob's Hat Trail. Pausing again to straighten out my ankles after they'd been pointed straight up for the last half hour (and to remind myself to stay on the road next time), I followed the trail up to the PCT and then returned to the parking area. This is not something that I'd enjoy doing on a daily basis, but it was fun and a nice way of getting a workout and not having to go out and come back on the same trail.
I hadn't been on Black Butte in awhile so on a clear, calm morning I drove over to the trailhead and started up. There were still scatterings of snow here and there and the trail was damp but in good shape. By the time I made it to where you're looking down on the freeway the sky became clouded over and the wind picked up. After reaching the spot where the trail turns sharply back toward Mt. Shasta the wind was now blowing pretty good and it was getting colder by the minute. Reaching the "Mt. Shasta" side of Black Butte I was now being blasted by a very determined and cold wind, so I decided to turn around and come back on a calmer day. | 2019-04-18T14:23:45 | http://northbankfred.com/crags/archives/3april.html |
Thinking ahead I have prepared my son's 10th grade homeschool reading list.
I'm trying to be proactive and plan my children's reading list before school starts for once! The lists for my 8th and 5th graders are still unfinished, but here are the books my 10th grade soon will be reading this school year. It's a mix of fiction and non-fiction in a variety of subjects and genres that I compiled using recommendations from various high school reading lists and our own personal library. He won't necessarily be reading the books in this order.
The Sea Wolf by Jack London. Humphrey Van Weyden becomes an unwilling participant in a tense shipboard drama. A deranged and abusive sea captain perpetrates a shipboard atmosphere of increasing violence that ultimately boils into mutiny, shipwreck, and a desperate confrontation. This 1904 maritime classic depicts the clash of materialistic and idealistic cultures with a mixture of gritty realism and sublime lyricism.
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. Son of a middle-class Englishman, Robinson Crusoe takes to the sea to find adventure. And find it he does when on one of his voyages he is shipwrecked on a deserted South American island for thirty-five years. After scavenging his broken ship for useful items, he had only his skills and ingenuity to keep him alive as there was to be no one else on the island for the next twenty-four years. In the middle of that twenty-fourth year he rescued a native about to be eaten by cannibals who were using his island for a place of feasting. Crusoe named this man Friday, after the day of his rescue. Friday became his faithful servant and friend, even returning with him to England after their deliverance by an English ship.
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. 1906 bestseller shockingly reveals intolerable labor practices and unsanitary working conditions in the Chicago stockyards as it tells the brutally grim story of a Slavic family that emigrates to America full of optimism but soon descends into numbing poverty, moral degradation, and despair.
Deathworld Triology by Harry Harrison. A legendary science fiction story, this trilogy presents hero Jason dinAlt as he discovers three separate planets. dinAlt finds excitement and intrigue as he investigates Pyrrus, a strange place where all the beasts, plants, and natural elements are out to destroy man; the unknown second planet, where every man has to kill other men or live as a slave; and Felicity, where creatures are bred for thousands of years for a single deadly purpose. Well known to fantasy and science fiction enthusiasts, this tale portrays exciting adventures filled with the elements of classic characters and plot twists.
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. "No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own…." So begins The War of the Worlds, the science fiction classic that first proposed the possibility that intelligent life exists on other planets. This spellbinding tale describes the Martian invasion of Earth. Following the landing in England of ten huge and indefatigable creatures, complete chaos erupts. Using their fiery heat rays and monstrous strength, the heartless aliens threaten the future existence of all life on Earth.
Almuric by Robert E. Howard. The creator of Conan looks to the stars in one of fantasy's most enduring science fantasy classics! Robert E. Howard's Almuric is a savage planet of crumbling stone ruins and debased, near-human inhabitants. Into this world comes Esau Cairn, Earthman, swordsman, murderer. Only he can overthrow the terrible devils that enslave Almuric, but to do so he must first defeat the inner demons that forced him to abandon Earth. Filled with vile beasts and thrilling adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Almuric is one of Howard's few novels, and an excellent yarn from one of America's most distinct literary voices.
The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. Does Jerry Renault dare to disturb the universe? You wouldn't think that his refusal to sell chocolates during his school's fundraiser would create such a stir, but it does; it's as if the whole school comes apart at the seams. To some, Jerry is a hero, but to others, he becomes a scapegoat–a target for their pent-up hatred. And Jerry? He's just trying to stand up for what he believes, but perhaps there is no way for him to escape becoming a pawn in this game of control; students are pitted against other students, fighting for honor–or are they fighting for their lives?
Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey. Dragonsong, the first volume in the series, is the enchanting tale of how Menolly of Half Circle Hold became Pern's first female Harper, and rediscovered the legendary fire lizards who helped to save her world.
Live from the Battlefield: From Vietnam to Bagdad by Peter Arnett.

How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff and Irving Geis. Darrell Huff runs the gamut of every popularly used type of statistic, probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, or the way results are derived from the figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to fool rather than to inform.
Hiroshima by John Hersey. "At, exactly fifteen minutes past eight in the morning on August 6, 1945, Japanese time, at the moment when the atomic bomb flashed above Hiroshima, Miss Toshiko Sasaki, a clerk in the personnel department of the East Asia Tin Works, had just sat down at her place in the plant office and was turning her head to speak to the girl at the next desk." When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, few could have anticipated its potential for devastation. Pulitzer prize-winning author John Hersey recorded the stories of Hiroshima residents shortly after the explosion and, in 1946, Hiroshima was published, giving the world first-hand accounts from people who had survived it. The words of Miss Sasaki, Dr. Fujii, Mrs. Nakamara, Father Kleinsorg, Dr. Sasaki, and the Reverend Tanimoto gave a face to the statistics that saturated the media and solicited an overwhelming public response. Whether you believe the bomb made the difference in the war or that it should never have been dropped, "Hiroshima" is a must read for all of us who live in the shadow of armed conflict.
How to Read a Person like a Book by Gerard I. Nierenberg, Henry H. Calero, and Gabriel Grayson. Imagine meeting someone for the first time and within minutes—without a word being said—having the ability to tell what that person is thinking. Magic? Not quite.

How to Read a Person Like a Book is designed to teach you how to interpret and reply to the nonverbal signals of business associates, friends, loved ones, and even strangers.
Personal, Career, and Financial Security by Richard J. Maybury. Uncle Eric introduces the concept of model. Models (or paradigms) are how people think; they are how we understand our world. Models help us recognize and use the information that is important and bypass that which is not. To achieve success in our careers, investments, and every other part of our lives, we need sound models. In this book, Mr. Maybury introduces the models he has found most useful (Economics and Higher Law). This is the first book in the Uncle Eric series and, while designed to stand alone, provides an excellent foundation for Maybury's other books.
The Thousand Year War in the Mideast by Richard J. Maybury and Jane A. Williams. "The Thousand Year War in the Mideast" explains how events on the other side of the world a thousand years ago can affect us more than events in our own hometowns today. The events of the Thousand Year War have been the cause of great shocks to our economy and investment markets, including: the oil embargoes, the Iranian hostage crisis, the Iraq-Kuwait war, and the Caucasus Wars over the Caspian Sea oil basin. These shocks are likely to remain so for decades to come. Learn about the Russians, Serbs, Croats, the Balkans, Kosovo, the Ottoman and Mongol empires, Turkey, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia, Russia, Oman, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Kurdistan, and more. Forewarned is forearmed. You must understand where this war is leading to manage your career, business and investments, as well as to reach an informed opinion regarding U.S. involvement in Mideast affairs.
World War I: The Rest of the Story and How It Affects You Today, 1870 to 1935 by Richard J. Maybury and Jane A. Williams. The explosion of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898 was the beginning of a chain reaction that continues today. Mr. Maybury presents an idea-based explanation of the First World War. He focuses on the ideas and events that led to World War I, events during the war, and how they led to World War II. Includes the ten deadly ideas that lead to war.
World War II: The Rest of the Story and How It Affects You Today, 1930 to September 11, 2001 by Richard J. Maybury and Jane A. Williams. Mr. Maybury presents an idea-based explanation of the Second World War. He focuses on events in the Second World War and how our misunderstanding of this war led to America s subsequent wars, including the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the Iraq-Kuwait War, and the "war on terrorism" that began September 11, 2001.
This may not fit with the classes or subjects that you are teaching but this 10th grade homeschool reading list fits nicely into the curriculum we are teaching this year.
What books are your kids reading this year? I'd love to know! Share in the comments below.
thanks for posting this list! i have a 10th grader this fall who is an absolutely great reader, but he is totally unimpressed by "classical literature". he finds pretty much everything completely boring and dull, even if he's able to pick the title himself. i wish there was a way to make it more exciting – any ideas??? when i was his age, i remember thinking that Hemingway was so dull, i couldn't believe he was a celebrated author.
Thanks for sharing your list. I need to figure out what my 10th grader will read. I think the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and probably The Hiding Place. Beyond that… I'm still trying to compile.
I think Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger is a good choice for a tenth grader. I remember reading it and it was great. | 2019-04-18T10:55:36 | https://fivejs.com/our-10th-grade-homeschool-reading-list/ |

children, to blossom a flower of happiness from the tears of despair.
The “House of Hummingbirds,” also referred to as "The Shelter," is where children who have lost their faith in their parents gather to live. Sakura starts working at the “House” as a food sta , which is managed by a lawyer called Mitani, a rookie lawyer Kawabata, and a former teacher Nabeshima who is now the head of the “House”. However, the children of the “House” directly deny her beliefs as they tell Sakura, “Parent and child makeing an Oyakodon together? Why in the world do we have to be together? Don’t make me laugh.” Nabeshima explains that these children have never been asked what meal they want to eat, therefore has no idea of the joys and desires of eating. Meanwhile, Sakura makes an e ort to tell the children that there are adults who can be trusted in this world through food. Will Sakura be able to keep on reaching out to the children? | 2019-04-26T12:22:33 | http://www.fujicreative.co.jp/for_buyers/more_info/tabid/106/pdid/873/Default.aspx |
Extracted from the Turaco Database prepared by Louise Peat, Registrar, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Burford, Oxfordshire, UK. and Rachel Robson, Oxford Brookes University student.
Many thanks to Andrzej Kruszewicz and Jason Waine for their contribution towards the information in this section.
A few years ago after completing the EAZA best practice guidelines for red crested turaco, Louise Peat was asked by EAZA if she would be willing to do a guideline that would cover all turaco species.
The document includes biology and field data for this family followed by captive management and all that is currently known regarding nutrition and health issues.
Trees / shrubs Non-toxic trees such as Elder, Hawthorn, Conifers and tropical greenhouse plants. Consider trees that will offer additional horizontal perching.
Inside Substrate Sand is most frequently used. Bark, Saw-dust and Tiles are also included as well as concrete and natural ground. Ideally any substrate should be easy to clean, especially around roosting and feeding areas.
Outside Substrate Grass is the most frequently used. Sand and Bark are commonly used while Stone and Gravel are occasionally in place. Turaco will habitually 'toilet' under favoured perches - consider an easy to clean substrate under these areas and around any feeding stations.
Perches Additional perches need to be in a variety of angles, directions, diameters and well spaced (1.5 - 4m). Dead tree branches are good perches. There should be many perches, depending on the size of the enclosure, to allow flight between them. Re-branching should be done every 6 months.
General Ideally diet should be fed off the ground, out of reach of wild rodents. The feeding area should be either inside or undercover out of direct sunlight and rain. The cover will prevent wild birds or aviary inhabitants from defecating directly on the food. The feeding area should be built from materials that are easy to keep clean.
Number of feed stations In a small enclosure with a compatible pair one feeding station should be sufficient. For larger mixed species aviaries monitor for signs of feeding aggression or territorial aggression from more dominant species - increase number of feeding stations as required to ensure all species and individuals have access to food.
Water intake Turaco will drink several times a day; access to clean water is essential. Placing a small water dish off the ground near a feeding station will enable birds to drink whilst feeling secure. Avoid placing any ponds or bowls under perches to prevent faecal contamination.
Bathing Turaco will bathe daily given the opportunity, access to a shallow dish or pond is essential. After bathing they will seek out a sunny area to dry off. Having a perch placed open to the elements will allow rain and sun bathing.
Mesh Double fenced mesh should be used for separation between species that are known to exhibit aggressive behaviour.
Glass When introducing new birds to an exhibit with windows, best to smear a window lean type product on windows, to prevent birds from flying into windows, over time reduce amount of product on windows and phase out.
Winter Can withstand temperatures as low as 10oC comfortably; to maintain activity levels through the winter access to heated areas recommended when temperature drops below 10C. Deny access to the outside in extremes of cold weather - birds will roost outside through poor weather conditions if you do not shut them in.
Summer Can withstand temperatures as high as 36oC - ensure adequate shade areas during the hottest months.
Neutral Territory Introducing birds is never predictable. Some turaco species are considered more difficult to introduce than others. As a general rule introduction on neutral territory is usually advisable. However, this is not always practical due to a shortage of aviary space.
Established territory Introduction of what potentially would be the most aggressive of the pair (in most cases the male) into the established territory of the least potential aggressor (generally the female) would be the next most viable option. Always ensure there is a suitable amount of cover to allow any bird being pursued to hide, and closely monitor that neither specimen is being prevented access to housing or food by the other and that neither individual is becoming unduly stressed.
Soft introduction In the event of a particularly difficult pair a softer approach can be attempted by allowing the birds to see each other from adjacent aviaries or by partitioning off part of the enclosure placing one bird either side. Once positive behaviour is observed gradual access can be allowed. Wing clipping has also been used in the past with more aggressive Turaco species; by “slowing down” the aggressor this enables more time for the subordinate to retreat.
Handling A firm and not too tight a grip is recommended. The wings should be held firmly against the body while the legs should be held between the middle and ring fingers. It is important not to obstruct the beak or hold the bird on its back - turaco will regurgitate food when stressed which can cause asphyxiation if unable to expel the food. Birds that are not hand raised and are flying free in big aviaries are very prone to stress – procedures should be as fast as possible. When planning a procedure on turaco, better to fast them (no supper and no breakfast). They will lose feathers if stressed and handled improperly.
Catching Catching turaco in a small enclosure is best done using soft catching nets. Turaco are quite clumsy fliers. They are relatively easy to predict and catch mid-flight. This is less stressful/traumatic than attempting to catch against a wall of an enclosure. In a large mixed exhibit a catching cage can be used. By placing food inside a cage close to the normal feeding station, birds can be encouraged to enter, using a pulley system the door can be closed from a distance by a patiently waiting keeper. This can take time to achieve, but if the cage is a permanent fixture the birds will become conditioned to entering the cage, making the process more routine and quicker.
De-worming Twice yearly treatment recommended (pre & post breeding season) in conjunction with faecal parasitology screening. A rotational cycle of De-wormers such as Panacur (2.5%) is recommended with a change of treatment every 2 years.
Micro chipping A transponder can be inserted into the pectoral muscle tissue, or under the skin over the L scapula.
Ringing Different coloured metal split rings can allow identification of individuals from a distance. Plastic rings have a habit of fading or can be degraded by the effects of weather over time.
Sexing Turaco species are monomorphic. There may be very slight differences in size between the sexes, but this is an unreliable form of sexing. DNA sexing either via feather, blood sample, and now eggshell are all relatively non-invasive.
Transport For short journeys (in-house moves from aviary to aviary) a sky kennel or cardboard box can be used. Cover the container to keep the bird in the dark, but ensure there is still adequate ventilation (especially important in hot weather). Do not place the container in any draughts. Always crate individuals separately as stressed birds can become aggressive. For longer car journeys follow the above routines but also place a perch in the crate. Foam attached to the roof of the crate will prevent any damage to the head if the bird panics and newspaper can be used as a substrate for the floor of the crate. If travelling in hot weather make sure that the vehicle is air conditioned. Food and water must be provided if the journey time exceeds 12 hours. For journeys by air the IATA Live Animal Regulations must be adhered to. In the 31st edition container 11E (pages 176-183) is required.
Anaesthetic Anaesthetic protocol – Same as for other bird species. Careful manual restraint of the bird, using a mask and membrane attachment to the anaesthetic circuit. 2 litres/min oxygen flow with either isoflurane (4-5%) or sevoflurane (8%) induction. After induction, if the procedure is likely to be more than a few minutes, routine endotracheal incubation is carried out. Maintenance of anaesthesia is isoflurane (1-3%). On recovery, volatile anaesthetic agent is switched off and pure oxygen maintained until recovery. A short interval of fasting is recommended before any anaesthetic. This will reduce the risk of inhalation of regurgitated food. A 4 hour fasting period should be sufficient.
First aid As in other bird species, depending on injury. Bird should be placed in dark, quiet place and wait for a veterinarian.
Birds are very good at masking a disease, usually when a bird is lethargic and staff can easily approach him – this is an end stage of a disease. Lethargy can be a symptom of CNS injury e.g. after hitting the window.
Hypothermia, non specific. Occurs when bird is undergoing an infection or infestation – birds can’t have fever and when fighting a disease will “shift” energy by saving body heat. If that is not environmental (too low temperatures in enclosure) provide an additional heat source e.g. reptile heating lamp.
Loss of weight may indicate Aspergilosis, fungal diseases of a GI tract, parasitosis, chronic bacterial diseases (including TB and Yersiniosis), liver insufficiency, metabolic diseases, etc. | 2019-04-18T20:56:33 | http://turacos.org/husbandry.html |

I had a really busy but wonderful weekend. It started on Saturday afternoon with a birthday lunch for my daughter and then we all headed back to my house for a scrapbook sleepover. What she didn't know, however, was that I had planned a Mother Blessing and a belly casting surprise for her and she was thrilled. It was such a moving Mother blessing and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Once we were done we scrapped until 2 AM and got up and made omelets in a bag! They were so easy and delicious to make!! Go here for the recipe. After breakfast my daughter had her belly cast my both her grandmother and myself so that was truly a special moment.
We continued to scrap the day away until everyone went home exhausted but happy after spending time with a powerful circle of women!
...I have found myself drawn (no pun intended) to the world of mixed media painting and I have a strong desire to keep creating them. I did this one for my girlfriend Teresa. It's kind of self portraits of us sipping on snagria and she really loves it!
This was not only a great day for the American people around the world, it was a great day for everyone. President Obama is such an elegant classy man in every way and my prayers are with him and his family that they are free from harm's way.
I was also glad to hear that Ted Kennedy is OK and recovering from his seizure.
Yes, today was truly one great day!
It has been a dream of my daughter Deanne and mine to create and sell our products.

I've been busy knitting these great mittens. The pattern is so quick! They are called Instant Mittens and I've made these two pairs and off to make more!

You’re supposed to bold the things you’ve done...I surprised myself!
So many of these I’d love to do and some NOT like getting stung by a bee,and as I was doing this I realized that there are so many other things that I could have added to this list!...This list really made me think....What have YOU done?
Look at the nice video that was posted on Youtube. Made me feel great!
Last year around this same time I was toying around with a word that I could focus on for 2008 and the word was 'Grace" and I do believe that I tried to live my year full of grace. For this year my focus word is metamorphosis as I know that I am ready for a change within; a change that will help me be my truest self. To the left is a button where I plan to follow the amazing Milliande as she gives art journal prompts for every day of January. I'm looking forward to this year ahead full of so many wondrous possibilities. I hope you are living the best time of your life! I continue to thank you for all of your posts and comments! | 2019-04-21T01:23:04 | http://www.doulanana.ca/2009/01/ |

When you’re itching to make your first money as a freelance writer and dying to know how to get writing jobs, it can be tempting to dash out and start applying for every job you can get your hands on, and you’ll probably have some success doing that if you apply for enough of them. But you’ll do far better if you do some planning, preparation and thinking about what you want beforehand.
Everyone is different and we all have our favourite topics that we like writing about. Before you start applying for jobs, think about what you prefer to write. The whole idea of working for yourself is that you can be the one to pick and choose, without having a boss deciding for you. Why spend your time writing finance blogs, for example, if it bores you to death?
Next, think about what types of writing you like to do. Do you want to be a ghostwriter for celebrities or fiction authors? Is blogging your area of expertise or do you prefer content marketing?
What type of clients do you want to work with? Corporate giants, small businesses, start-ups, digital agencies?
Whatever your preference, narrowing down your favourite writing types, clients and topics allows you to target your marketing and find jobs that are much closer to what you want.
Next, you need to take a look at your author website, your portfolio, and your presence on social media.
• If you were your potential client, would you be impressed by your website?
• Does your site attract the kind of clients you’re looking for?
• Is your site SEO optimised to rank in the search engines for your keywords?
• Is your blog up to date, well-written and consistent?
• Do you post great content regularly on social media?
• Is your portfolio professionally presented, up to date and reflective of you as a writer?
While you don’t have to have everything perfect, and you can and should market to clients with what you have right now, these are some of the things to work on and constantly improve over time to attract more targeted and higher paying clients.
You can find writing jobs that go up to thousands of pounds for one project. But you can also find jobs that pay less than one pence a word. You might find that your success comes down to two things: experience and confidence. While it pays to have a portfolio behind you to show a client what you’re capable of, being able to sell yourself confidently can go a long way to securing you higher paid jobs, even if you have less experience.
If you know your worth, don’t just settle for any old job at any price. Look for jobs that pay the rate you want and which align with your skills, knowledge and interests and aim for those. Having a specialist background in one subject or niche industry can actually help command better fees.
Remember, you need to eat and pay bills, and you deserve to earn enough to actually have a life too. Sometimes it can be a balancing act, and as a writer you’ll notice that there can be times when you have jobs piling up and others when the inbox is dry.
However, when you stand back and look at it from time to time, your copywriting career should be showing real progression; if you spend too much energy searching for lots of low-paid jobs, you’ll never make it big. So regularly review your salary goals and take steps to achieve them.
On job boards and when writing for publications, you’ll quite often find that the projects advertised are fixed rate – either so much per project or so much per word, so it’s much easier to see if they pay the rate you’d like.
If you write for businesses, however, you need to have some idea that they have the budget to hire you before you spend hours crafting the perfect, targeted Letter of Introduction (LOI).
How do you know? Check out their annual revenue. If it’s in the millions, chances are they can afford to hire you. Where will you find that information? If they are a limited company, which with that sort of turnover they probably are, then you can search on Companies House, or try Company Check, which has a free version and paid plans starting at only £50 per year. Company Check will also tell you if they’ve had any CCJs and what their risk score is, so you have more of an idea if you’re going to get paid.
Look at their website, read their blog and see what sort of company they are. If it’s obvious they have a similar approach and tone to you, there’s a good possibility you’ll click and enjoy the working relationship.
Also, check how long your prospective company has been in business. If they’ve been around a while, there’s a great chance they understand the value of marketing and good writing and are likely to have opportunities for you.
When you apply for jobs on any of these sites, make sure you read the job listing carefully, and follow the instructions for how to apply.
You’d be amazed how many people don’t do this basic step, and you’ll put yourself ahead of the pack if you do!
While approaching businesses direct will likely get you higher rates as there’s no middle man, there are plenty of agencies that are likely to either work with freelancers or hire them to produce copy for their clients.
Try digital marketing agencies, website development companies, graphic designers, and printing companies.
The advantage of approaching agencies is that they already have the clients, and you don’t have to go and find them yourself.
Try networking with them on social media, commenting on their blog, and building up a relationship with them first, then you’re not sending a cold pitch, you’re sending a warm pitch from someone that they are familiar with.
Many businesses need freelance writers for everything from website copy, email marketing and product descriptions to case studies, white papers, and even technical manuals.
You can use the same approach as with agencies by networking so you can send a warm pitch, or pick up the phone and have a chat if you’re comfortable doing that. The worst you’ll get is a ‘no thank you’, and you might find you get a great response.
A lot of companies are so busy that they don’t have time to advertise for a freelance writer, so if you pop up with your well-crafted writer’s website and your excellent experience in their field, you could be just what they were looking for.
Did you know LinkedIn has a jobs section? You don’t have to spend hours poring over it either. Just sign up for alerts for the type of jobs you are looking for, and they will email them to you. | 2019-04-25T16:52:08 | https://blog.copify.com/post/new-freelancing-heres-get-writing-jobs |
When you're not going much when you go and then have a few hours after that to be sure. Its a little risky even then.
I am not a healthcare professional; however, I have personally taken magnesium citrate multiple times. I like it because it isn't something that will make me run through everyone to get to the restroom or make me tell someone mid lecture, "Excuse me, I have to go, RIGHT NOW." The cool thing about magnesium citrate is it will let the body know when its working, but give you enough time to respond.
Took magnesium citrate 5 days ago. It worked some but did not clean me out completely. what now? | 2019-04-21T22:12:25 | https://www.drugs.com/answers/magnesium-citrate-fully-worked-clear-leave-house-2291082.html |

On Saturday, 11 March 2017, Lisca added another store to its international sales network. In collaboration with local partners, Lisca celebrated the opening of its first franchise store in Kiev, Ukraine.
Fragrant orchids, a mini runway show, good music and positive energy created a special atmosphere at the opening. The opening of the new store in the most fashionable mall in Kiev, the Lavina Mall, was attended by Goran Kodelja, Lisca’s CEO, Gragorj Frank, deputy ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia in Ukraine, Sevki Acuner, the European bank for reconstruction and development’s Director for Ukraine, CEOs of the international companies Lacoste, Lifecell and Beko in Ukraine, Zafer Ozbay, the president of the Turkish-Ukrainian association in Ukraine and many others.
The mood at the event was kept high by the legendary fashion week DJ Jean Gritsfeldt, who flew in from Paris for the occasion. Catering and hospitality were in the capable hands of the employees of the famous Kiev restaurant the Budha Bar.
However, Lisca’s plans for the Ukrainian capital are not over yet, as the opening of another store is planned for the autumn. | 2019-04-23T04:40:26 | https://www.lisca.com/news/kiev-store-opening.html |

The FIFA World Cup is the only reason I ever pretend to know anything about soccer. Actually, combine that with the fact that South Korea is playing. Once Korea is out, I just don’t care anymore.

It seems like we’ve been getting TONS of snow. It melts, it snows, it melts, it snows. SO, we needed an indoor project today. I found this Pinspiration: Stained Glass with tissue paper.
Then fill jar up with water.
This is a 50-50 mixture glue/water.
It will have a Matte finish.
If you would like a Glossy finish, add 1 TBS of clear varnish.
Now for your window project!
Cut a bunch of tissue paper shapes.
Paint Modge Podge on the Contact Paper and stick your tissue shapes on the wet glue. Paint over the top of your tissue once it is in the design you want. | 2019-04-21T23:09:57 | https://herviewfromhome.com/pinspiration-stained-glass-for-a-day-and-homemade-modge-podge/ |
with the new year, new content comes along. The Argent Dawn will start its operations in the Plaguelands on the 23rd of January – unlocking new missions to complete and new items to obtain.
Nearing the end of the month, Horde and Alliance forces will join together in order to prepare to fight the Qiraji in Silithus and the Ahn’Qiraj.
The War Effort will start on the 30th of January and will last roughly up to the middle of March. Contribution from the heroes of Azeroth is more than welcome. Furthermore, once the War Effort is complete, the release of the Ahn’Qiraj might be slightly altered (+- few hours) to fit most of our team and player base.
Below you can find a list of new additions to the game with each release.
See you on the other side of the Gates of the Ahn’Qiraj! | 2019-04-18T10:15:55 | http://www.kronos-wow.com/2019/01/20/new-frontiers/ |

And from 2012, we go back further in California history to the Gold Rush Era.
Back to the present and the Sculptures. After looking up the artist and reading about some of the reactions to the art, it prompted me to do more research. Fell down one of those rabbit holes on the web, but found a bunch of new sites I'll be re-visiting. It's kind of sad how little real California history got taught in the schools when I was a kid, maybe it's better now....?
The artist who created the bike/pedestrian bridge sculptures known as "The Berkeley Big People"
be in Part Three of this post.
Berkeley side of Freeway 80, a nice freshwater lake or lagoon...?
Kayak and canoe rentals, have to see if I can launch my own craft here.
These were all shot from the walkway up to the Bike/pedestrian way.
Didn't know it at the time, but this bit of graffiti has a tie-in with some on the Emeryville side.
Looking South towards Emeryville/Oakland. Lake to the left, Ocean Bay to right.
Walking up to the Sculpture on the Emeryville side, "The Recreationists...?"
On the walkway Emeryville side, that ties in with graffiti on the Berkeley side.
Thinking this is a good point to end "Part 2", will be back with what I found on the Emeryville side.
Was expecting a park of some sort...?
If you happen to look at this post, let me know if you have any problems with the links, Thanks.
Those are really interesting sculptures, not only very artistic, but also tell a story. Links work fine.
Thanks Norman, they seemed to work o.k. when I tested them from here. A few times at other sites I've had problems with links. Must be getting the hang of it. | 2019-04-19T10:20:59 | http://travelswithpete-lclark.blogspot.com/2012/07/sculpture-part-two.html |
Hi I have an injury and was thinking of getting an e-bike.
Has anyone got one? What is good/bad?
The only negative in my personal experience is its weight when lifting it on to a train.
You will get more replies if you post in the E-Bike section of this forum.
I bought an Orbea Gain e-road bike late last summer, I haven't used it yet. It doesn't look like an e-bike because the battery is "hidden in a slightly larger diameter down tube, the motor is in the rear hub and there is no "control panel" on the handlebars.
It's a very good looking bike and the prices are from reasonable to expensive depending on which model you buy. It weighs about 14kg including the battery.
A Google Search will show you details and there are reviews on You Tube.
My bike is my existing hybrid motorised. The hub motor looks like a dynamo, there are sensors on the crank and the battery is on the luggage rack. Controls are via a small cycle computer on the handlebars. The set up cost about £700 and the total weight is about 20kg.
Most people would have no idea that I had an electric bike. | 2019-04-24T08:16:58 | https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=128915&p=1340706 |

Bastian Schweinsteiger: Is He The Next Big-Name MLS European Football Trailblazer?
After his stellar debut with the Chicago Fire, Bastian Schweinsteiger just may be the next big name to cross the pond over to MLS.
Schweinsteiger, a former 2014 FIFA World Cup™ champion with his native Germany and 2013 UEFA Champions league winner with Bayern Munich before moving to Old Trafford on a three-year £6.5 million transfer ($8.09 million USD) after 17 years with the Reds.
At Manchester United, Schweinsteiger tallied one goal in 18 first-team apps for the Red Devils before ultimately being demoted by Jose Mourinho, and ultimately being allowed to leave for the Chicago Fire.
In his first game with the Fire, Bastian Schweinsteiger, tallied a game-tying goal vs. the Montreal Impact in a 2-2 draw.
At age 32, and still in his proverbial prime, could the Kolbermoor, West Germany native with a name worthy of a James Bond villain/Cold War spy of the 80’s, and married to Serbian stunner and tennis hottie, Ana Ivanovic—be the next big-name European star to come over to MLS?
While he didn’t get the around-the-clock, much-ballyhooed welcome that David Beckham did when he came to the Los Angeles Galaxy back in 2007, Schweinsteiger is the latest in a line former European stars such as Kaka (Orlando City), David Villa and Frank Lampard (New York City FC), Theirry Henry (New York Red Bulls), Didier Drogba (Montreal Impact), Steven Gerrard (Los Angeles Galaxy) and homegrown American stars such as Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy) and Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC).
With rumors that other big names such as Wayne Rooney, Javier “Chicarito” Hernandez and Zlatan Ibrahimovic likely to come to MLS within the next 1-2 years, is this a sign of the MLS becoming recognized as one of the top soccer leagues in the world, or just one last desperate money grab for aging Euro stars?
This isn’t your dad’s now-defunct North American Soccer League (NASL) of the late 70’s and early 80’s that got the older past-their-prime versions of Pele, the late Johan Cruyff or Franz Beckenbauer, but a more updated, hip and cooler version of your older brother’s who first got you into watching footy with him on early Saturday mornings at his local pub.
There is no doubt that the MLS is on the come-up both domestically and abroad. Landing another world-renowned player of Bastian Schweinsteiger and his champion-wining pedigree is a win-win for the now 22-year old upstart league.
Hopefully, Schweinsteiger is not the last of a mere trickle of European names to come over, but the first drop of the proverbial dam bursting that truly puts the MLS on the global map of soccer.

i have looked around on the internet for tutorials regarding procedula terrain generation, especially for organic ones. My hope is to generate a terrain with more than 2 block types,(the only ones i found deal only with cave generation where a block is either present or absent (hollow)) but i don't know where to start. Can someone link me some good resources?
I am not a procedural expert, but I want to help lay a foundation for those who can help. Firstly, are we talking just surface terrain or underground too? Second, are we talking a simple grid like terraria, or a smooth, polygon surface? I'm sorry I cant really help, but I hope you find some people who can! | 2019-04-23T10:21:19 | https://answers.unity.com/questions/1549301/procedural-terrain-algorithms-2d.html |

How can I encourage my elderly friend to get a home security system?
Home › Forums › Home Security › Security Systems › How can I encourage my elderly friend to get a home security system?
I have an elderly friend who has been close to my family for many years. She has also been an active member of our local community for even longer. She is very trusting of all of the people that live in our town because she has had so many good experiences. However, because of this, she is refusing to get an alarm system on her home.
I am very concerned for her safety. Though many people in our community are wonderful, upstanding citizens, things are changing. New people are moving into the area and there are new types of crimes that we never heard anything about years ago. I have to say, overall, compared with large cities like New York and Chicago, we are a safe location to live and raise a family, but I just feel concerned about an elderly woman living at home in any town, no matter how nice it is. What can I say to her to convince her that this is an essential thing that she needs for her home? I feel like I’ve tried everything.
I completely agree with you on this, and I truly understand your concern. It can be hard to convince people that are older that they might need to do something new or different. One reason that you might not be having any luck is possibly because you are asking your friend to believe something, when she has spent her whole life believing the opposite.
Like she has spent her whole life being part of a community that she finds to be loving and kind, and in a way, you are asking her to let that idea go and believe that she must now protect herself from that very community. Changes like this can be hard for older people to accept and it can make her feel like her whole world is falling apart.
It might be best to appeal to the other reasons that a security system might be a good buy for her, just so that she doesn't feel like the world she knows has disappeared. Tell her about the panic and alarm buttons. If she has ever had any sort of health issue or known someone that has, she has got to know that being able to press a safety button is a life saver. In an emergency, there is just no time to dial a number.
With most systems, all she has to do is hold the touchpad for a few seconds and that will summon fire and rescue, or it will summon the security home office and they will send help. Many systems designed for the elderly offer home security and alert buttons that they can wear as bracelets or necklaces and they don't even have to make it the alarm keypad. Hope this helps you out some.

The birds are chirping, the grass is turning green, the bees are out… You know what that means? Spring is here! And with it, our wishes of getting organized and embarking on that novelty of Spring Cleaning. Why is it that the season of Spring makes us want to clean our house from top to bottom? And why is it such a daunting task? Well, at least for some of us. Especially those of us will small spaces and lots of clutter.
We are going to break down Spring Cleaning into easily digestible and doable tasks so that you can actually finish Spring Cleaning this year.
Since you have a small space, it is critical to be able to let go of items that you don’t need and don’t have space for. Hoarding + small spaces do not go together. The key to living in a small space is to use every opportunity to make it appear larger. Every item in a small space should have a place to rest. So clear your mind and get ready to let go.
If you are finding that you have more clothes than closet and drawer space, then it is time to get rid of some clothes. There are three ways that you can get rid of clothes and not feel bad about it.
Give clothes to Goodwill – Gather clothes that are in fairly good condition and take them to Goodwill or your local homeless shelter. If you have business attire you can donate those to companies like Dress for Success.
Make some money – Sell your gently worn or new pieces on Poshmark. You can earn a little cash while clearing out your clutter.
Pass them down – Who doesn’t love a clothing swap? Except this time, offer your clothes to one of your BFFs. On one hand you’re clearing out your closet, on the other, you can always borrow that clothing item back down the road.
Another source of unnecessary clutter is paper. If you have too much random paper, receipts, old bills, etc. laying around, it’s time to get rid of it.
Throw away pile – The first pile is paper that can be directly thrown away. For instance, papers that do not have your personal information located on them.
Shred pile – The second pile is for papers that have your personal information on them and need to be shredded before being thrown away.
Once you’ve gathered your papers into the both piles, throw away what can be trashed immediately. If you have a shredder in your home shred the papers with your personal information immediately. Don’t say to yourself, you will shred them later. We want to avoid having them continue to pile up and thus continuing to clutter your small space. If you do not have a shredder, stack your papers up and take them to an office supply store like Staples. Check your local office supply store for shredding prices. Prices are usually reasonable and are per pound. | 2019-04-22T14:12:28 | https://thedivainc.com/spring-cleaning-small-spaces-pt-1/ |
